Rhodeus/Recap

My name is Rhodeus and after rescuing my old ally Stone Jaguar. Who was turned into a statue by her sworn and common enemy Time Taker. I received alarming news that my homeland was in grave danger. An that the Roman Army was marching against it. Causing my allies and I to travel back in time to the ancient land of Gaul, Germany. In hopes of stopping this evil force. Before they doom the entire German land.

Rhodeus/Homeland

At long last I was finally home within the forest covered land of Gaul. Where we couldn’t see anyone around and Houdini speak. I smell something approaching. An whatever it is, it’s not human. An sure enough we saw my old wolf ally Moon Scar. Who came walking over while wagging his black fur tail and spoke with his telepathy. Rhodeus. It’s truly wonderful to have you back friend. I replied. It is truly great to be back. Though we have a pressing matter to resolve. He knew that I was correct. But also turning his attention towards those with me and asked. Who are these strange figures? I told him. These are my allies. Who’ve come to help us defend Gaul. Hearing this Moon Scar replied. Then I welcome you all. To this mighty land of warriors. As he soon lead us towards the nearest village. Where all the clan leaders have gathered in an emergency meeting.

Rhodeus/Wise Wolf

Approaching the village on foot here I spoke to Moon Scar. Tell me my friend. Why have the Romans suddenly declared war on us? After what happened in our last war. He told me. During the time that you were gone. Your sworn enemy, The Mask Tyrant. Decided to finally make his move and took over as the new emperor of Rome. Who now seeks to enslave every last man, women an child of Gaul. An all the other clans of this massive land. I was deeply troubled by this and so were the others. For I had told them about my powerful foe. An although I’ve never faced him within battle. He was a clever man, who would use sneaky tactics. To steal power for himself. But also commanded those with powers like myself. Yet thankfully many of them were locked up. Within a secret magical prison. Though I still fear that he was going to be a difficult villain to defeat. As we soon saw the clan leaders arguing among each other.

Rhodeus/War Council

Gathered together within a large circle stood all the clan leaders. Not just from Gaul, but from beyond our borders too. Including one of my old enemies. Arth, leader of the Bone Axe Clan and standing alongside him was Bronze Beast. The mysterious creature from another world. That was half man, half bear. As the leader of my clan began speaking. Fellow clan leaders. Arguing among each other. Is not going to make things better for us. But the Romans who are coming. With their large army, surely ready for war. An unless we can figure out. How to handle this. Then we’re all in grave danger. Arth now spoke. Although I’m no longer living within Gaul. But also my village being far beyond all of your own. He’s also right.Unless we can find a way. To decided to who leads us in this war. Then none of us will be free. From the grip of the Roman Empire. They all knew Arth made a good point. As one of the other clan leaders spoke. Then who will lead us? This was a great question. With me answering in a loud firm voice. I will! That’s when all their eyes turned on me.

Rhodeus/Heroes Return

Turning their attention towards me one of the clan leaders spoke. It’s Rhodeus! He’s return! With another replying. Praise the gods! As Arth kept looking at me in anger and spoke. So the mighty hero finally comes back. An has brought outsiders too. They all saw this with me responding back. These are brave warriors from lands we’ve never scene. An have come to aid us in our war. Hearing this Arth spoke while still looking mad. Is that right? I now spoke. Yes. An don’t have time to argue. When we must all prepare for war. They all knew I was correct. With my clan leader spoke. Then are you asking us. To put you in charge? This made everyone grow silent as I carefully answered back. I’m not asking for it. For you all know that I’ve had more experience in fighting the Romans in war. Then anyone here. Many of the clan leaders knew this was true. Yet they still made a vote. An sure enough I was chosen to lead them into war.

Rhodeus/General

With the clan leaders no longer arguing among each other. I had gone to speak with my allies in private. With Stone Jaguar speaking to me. Tell me Rhodeus. Who was that angry man, that kept looking at you? I told them. That was Arth. One of my old enemies and leader of his own clan. Who I’m sure still holds a grudge against me. Understanding this Ghost Musketeer asked. Is he going to be a problem? I reply. No, he won’t risk targeting me. When his own village is in danger. With this said Electric King replied. I say we keep a close eye on Arth. Just to be safe. The group agreed as I soon began making plans with the clan leaders. On how to defend and defeat the Roman Army.

Rhodeus/Emperor

As we were in the middle of making plans. It was far across the sea, within the city of Rome itself. That the Mask Tyrant was sitting there within his throne room. Listening to one of his generals speak. My mask emperor. The ships have been fully prepared and shall be casting off soon. For the spot you’ve chosen. Hearing this the villain spoke. Excellent. For once you an the army reach Gaul. Make certain that Rhodeus is crushed. An never leaves that battlefield alive. The general completely understand and soon headed off at once.

Rhodeus/Preparing Time

As the Roman Army was planning to sail at any day now. It was back within Gaul that many warriors were following my instructions with help from my allies. To begin setting up major traps. Which were sure to slow down the enemy forces. With me moving fallen trees and Houdini using his magical powers. That created large holes for them to fall into. Which was all going according to plan. When I noticed Houdini suddenly stopping and rushing over to me while speaking. Rhodeus. I’m sensing a dark force of powerful magic. Coming from somewhere towards the north-west. Hearing this I asked him. Any ideas on who or what it might be? He replied. I’m afraid not. But already know it can’t be good.

Rhodeus/Dark Force

Unsure of what Houdini had sensed. I had Electric King and Houdini come with me to find whoever or whatever had caused this large force of magic. As we began travelling north-west. An kept travelling in this direction through the air for a while. With Houdini speaking. Whatever I sense earlier seems to have vanished. Though I’m also smelling something....rotten. Hearing this Electric King spoke. Do you mean a dead animal?. He replied. No, it isn’t like that. For it’s smell....is far stronger then anything. I have smelled before. Who quickly stopped an all of us looking downward. Towards this small clearing in the tree line. With us spotting something most alarming. That none of us could believe at all.

Rhodeus/Rotting Horde

Marching towards the direction of the village was this huge army of Undead Roman Soldiers. Which shocked all of us as Electric King spoke in fear. There’s....so many of them. He wasn’t the only one who was alarmed by this. As I quickly spoke. We must hurry back and alert the others. Houdini strongly agreed as we flew back at once. Warning everyone about the undead force coming our way. Which made all the warriors ready themselves for battle. An Stone Jaguar speaking to me. Rhodeus. Do you know who’s doing this? I replied in anger. I might and if so. Then we’ve got to stop her. Before she dooms all of Gaul. Who readied ourselves and quickly attacked the armed Undead.

Rhodeus/Gaul Defenders Pt. 1

Charging towards the Undead Roman Army. I watched as Electric King blast the front row with a massive blast of electricity. Which electrocuted a massive number of these undead an made them fall in seconds. While Houdini began a huge number of them with large fire balls. While I just started bashing many of them ahead of me with my fists. But also had Ghost Musketeer and Stone Jaguar follow close behind. Slashing and slaying any of these undead which got too close. Doing whatever we could to stop the attacking army. While making sure that the main Warrior Army doesn’t lose any serious numbers.

Rhodeus/Gaul Defenders Pt. 2

Zapping more of the Undead Roman Soldiers with his electricity. It wasn’t long before Electric King’s suit ran out of power. Which he quickly noticed and spoke to himself. In a very concern voice. That’s not good. As the undead were fast approaching, with him unsure. On what to do here. When the warriors quickly rushed in and started attacking. With Electric King grabbing two dropped swords from the ground. Who then used them to start fighting alongside the warriors. Blocking and slashing each one. While using the skills he learned from Ghost Musketeer. Slaying a good number of them. While noticing Houdini sending his flying circular sawblades. Slicing lot’s of them apart. Before he began burning them and me still pushing forward while asking myself in anger. Where is she hiding? Who kept attacking as one of them charged towards me. An came close to cutting my neck. Which caught my full attention.
