The End to The War (Jack/N/Link)

[Jack of Blades]

The war had been raging on for the better part of a week now. For so long their forces had clashed, Demon against Demon, Otherborn against Demon, Halfer against Demon. Jack's forces were impressive, between himself, his minions, N's powers and Itami's summons they had a huge army supplemented by what was effectively moving wooden defenses thanks to N. The majority of the Archon's forces had surrendered upon seeing the return of the Jack of Blades along with a restored Sword of Aeons. Although the fact he had an army behind him that included minions, serpent demons and their demon lords as well as a Kodoku, Otherborn, his own son and his masks and a Demon Priest, no doubt had something to do with such a surrender.

The battles were long, hard and bloody. But steadily as the days wound on, Jack steadily started to gain the upper-hand. His tactical prowess was far superior to the Archon's and the Demon Lord's advances were becoming more and more profound to the point that his forces were spreading rumors that today was to be the last day of the fighting. And it was difficult to quell such rumors, especially considering they were practically knocking on the Archon's tower now. The rumors were true. One last battle.

Jack walked to the top of the bluff... Two figures joined him, his son, Link and his newest ally, Itami Kodoku. After them came two more, his loyal follower Otar and his now slightly deranged ally, N. Then came the bulk of his forces. The Snake Lords became visible first, Manda, Manda II, the son of Manda, Sal, Sol and Sel, The Boa Lords and then finally Yamata no Orochi, the Serpent Demon Lord. Along with them came multiple smaller serpents who were still larger than most humans. Then came the hordes of minions that Jack had personally created, his battle array was ready for the final battle.

"So this is what the Archon fields at the end?! Yamato no Orochi boomed, his voice ringing across the battlefield, as he spoke from eight mouths. "Me, Manda, Manda II and The Boa Lords could easily handle this alone!" As the giant serpent went to move forwards, the tiny in comparison Jack raised a hand, halting the snake.

"No. He'll have some tricks up his sleeves. We keep to the plan." He looked across at his 'generals'. N, Itami, Link, Otar.

"Are you all ready?"

Itami nodded.

Otar gave a sweeping bow.

[Link]

[[I'll be posting as N and Link in the same posts. Switching accounts with every other post. ._. ]]

Link watched N as he stood beside Otar. He was... twitching. His shoulders kept rolling around, his wrists and neck jerking around every now and again. His face held such a twisted smile, Link couldn't tell if it was because he was happy with killing or if his face had just frozen like that after long enough. He nods seven times, each really fast and right after the other. "Yes, YES, Mister Jack!"

Link kind of cringed a bit at the sight of his... well, Link was afraid to call N his friend now. N just wasn't the same. "Yes, Father... I am ready." Link had been saving this for an occasion such as this. And since Jack could control it... It was time. In his bag, he retrieves the purple, heart-shaped mask with the spines on the edges. Majora's Mask. He places it over his face. His body does not transform, but goes limp as it hovers above where he was.

An echo'd laugh comes from him as the mask shakes, Link's body remaining firm in place. Then silence as he rises higher. And silent it stayed, for just a moment longer. Then the body spreads its wings far and wide as from his body, purple and brown waves began emanating as he screams, his powers showing.

N claps and begins laughing. From his arms, he used a wood covering over his wrists to create a wooden sword, razor-thin. But reinforced enough to last a few hits. "Let's go, let's go, let's GO!"

[Jack of Blades]

Jack simply shook his head. 

"No. Not yet. Like I said, the Archon will have a plan, plus as much as I hate to admit it, he has the home field advantage. Last time I was here, I managed to sneak in but this time he knew we were coming. Who knows the defenses he has set up? No-one. As such, we must follow my plans and strategies to the letter." He looked across at his son, the fact that he could now give him direct orders no matter where he was on the field was an invaluable asset.

"N." Jack said bluntly, looking across at the twitching boy. "We need to shield their view of us. I want you to turn this battlefield into a forest. Tall enough they can't see any of us at least, especially the serpent lords, they'll be central to the plan." Next he glanced back to his son.

"Link. You are to take a commando unit of minions and sneak through the forest to the enemies rear flank, I'll inform you of when to attack their unprotected rear when the time comes. For now, get in position and wait." Next was the Kodoku Halfer.

"Itami. I want you and the serpent lords to burrow underground as soon as the enemies line of view is blocked. Move slowly, cautiously. I don't care if it take hours, don't let the enemy know you're there. You'll be integral to the plan. Come out on our predetermined signal." The boy nodded before glancing at Yamato, who opened one of his eight mouths. Itami leapt inside. Next, Jack turned to Otar.

"Otar. We will lead the army into battle in the forest. N, you will join us once the forest's up, you will be the only one able to traverse it efficiently, so you'll be important in navigating the army. There you can kill as many as you wish." He looked around at everyone.

"Does everybody understand?" He didn't wait for a response. "Good. Fulfill your orders then."

[N]

Link gives off that laugh one more time before floating back down to a hover, leading off his troops. "Eeeheeheeheeheehee! Sure thing, Father!" His body turning limp again, the Mask carries him, the squad following behind loyally.

N giggles, nodding again. "Of course, Mister Jack! Brilliant as ever! Ha HA!" He raises his hands high above his head as his body falls flat to the ground. His palms kept his face from hitting the ground. "A nice, beee-yoootiful forest, coming right up, Mister Jack!" Immediately, the earth began rumbling. It splits with loud cracking sounds, fully-grown trees instantly springing up.

The trees continue to move in a scattered, yet linear pattern. Each one dropped a seed to the side, which instantly sprouted upon hitting the ground. The earth quaked for minutes before the forest had finished. N stood atop of the largest tree, right in the center of the forest. "HAHAHA! Mister JAAA~AAACK! It's READY!"

Giggling, he leaps from the treetop, a specially-made wood slide, skating down on his shoes. "Looook out, Void! Here comes the N Train!"

[Jack of Blades]

Jack smirked as the serpent lords started to bury themselves into the ground, one of Yamato no Orochi's mouths grumbling a complaint about how they didn't get to be involved in the main battle. Up until now, they'd been in the vanguard, carving a path toward the Archon. So Jack knew they would be somewhat disappointed, but they'll get some measure of glory. Next he looked across at Otar.

"Now we march the army forwards, we need to force them into a rout, so that they retreat right into Link's hands. Otar, take the main force and go catch up with N. Engage the enemy and crush their morale, be prepared for whatever tricks the Archon has up his sleeves, I'll be there in a moment to make sure the enemy definitely routs." He smirked as his mist cloaked the floor of the forest, snaking up his legs and waist.

Otar bowed to Jack and turned to face the army. He waved his staff and cried "Onwards!" Him and the rest of the minions began to hastily march towards the forest, aiming to engage the confused Archon's forces. The march lasted only a few minutes before Otar ordered the charge. Lycanthropic demons charged their counterparts, Otar's Golems attacking from a mid-range. The battle seemed somewhat even.

Jack had his eyes closed, maintaining the strongest link with his son.

"Your signal will be a roar. A roar that shakes the heavens and hell then everything in between. Your signal will be a silhouette on the white sky. When you see it and hear it, you will know."

[Link]

The echoed laugh of Link's Mask could be heard all around he forest. In position, Jack. The Mask spoke, not Link. Hence why it didn't refer to him as "Father." The plan was to wait for the signal. So that he would do.

N slid down the bark slide, jumping to a vine that brought him safely to the ground. Breaking into a sprint, he could feel the forest, sense everything near it... He closed his eyes as he tracked. He could see Link... The troops. And then, "Mister JACK!" He smiled big as his eyes opened. He began sprinting at max capacity to reach the battle.

N had taken to the trees again. He was now behind Jack as he watched the fight for a moment. "Mister Jack... I'm ready to show you how strong you've made me!" He closes his eyes, feeling everything in his proximity. "DEEP FOREST EMERGENCE!" A loud rumbling came from beneath the enemy. The earth itself shook as a large portion of their forces shot up into the sky after being shot up from a tree branch. The branches swiftly turned and shot back upward, tangling around every launched enemy. They wove together perfectly, creating a giant tree that restricted and bound them. It was growing tighter with each passing minute as N began laughing like crazy. "HEE HEE! Can we get a LIGHT on this candle?"

[Jack of Blades]

Jack smirked behind his mask as he looked across at Otar who was stood in the midst of the battle. Waving his staff back and forth, cracking demons over the skull when they were within range, and blasting them with a gout of fire when they were not.

"I'm sure our good friend Otar could help with that." He nodded down at the Demon Priest, who looked up and gave a deep bow despite being in the thick of the fight. He raised his staff at the giant tree and suddenly launched a gout of flames up towards the branches, setting the foliage atop it alight, burning those trapped within. He then nodded back at Jack before returning to the battle. The Jack meanwhile chuckled to himself as he prepared to give Link his signal.

"My Kingdom..." He growled, as his red mist twisted around him. "This. Is. My. Kingdom!"

Suddenly, red mist burst out all over the battlefield, restricting everyone's view of the battlefield, and then came the roar. It was huge, magnificent in scale, shaking the entire realm of The Void, some minions instantly knew what was going on and fled. Others stood their ground. The signal was sent.
