A story of EPIC proportions

Wub Wub the hype train roles on.

The Resuce

The trio didn't turn back as they raced for the portal. The guards evidently hesitated to follow them after seeing the destruction Anzra had wrought on their fellows, but after much bellowing from Lemon, they picked up the pursuit. Arrows whistled past Wacko's head as he sped towards the portal. One shaft narrowly missed his face and stuck in the tree next to his head, quivering. He almost stumbled on a twisted root but managed to regain his footing before he dropped behind Yianni and Anzra. He heard a hissing noise, and turned to see that the soldiers had rigged up a makeshift TNT cannon. The first flashing bundle of death hurtled towards them at tremendous speed. It struck a tree with a *Slap* before exploding and tearing through the wood. Splinters flew everywhere, but luckily none hit the trio. A second TNT blast heralded the arrival of another destructive payload, this one sailing over their heads, and demolishing the path in front of them. The party reacted quickly, jumping the crater the blast created. The portal was so close now, Wacko could see it's shimmering purple light dancing across his face.

The final TNT blast was more successful than the previous two. It landed mere feet behind them, and the explosion sent them flying. Wacko and Yianni were lifted by the blast and carried violently through the portal. The last the pair saw of Anzra was his body fly through the air, and collide with the portal's frame with a sickening *crack*. His corpse fell limp to the floor as Wacko and Yianni fell into the dark oblivion of the portal. As Wacko felt gravity reassert it's control over his body, he was shocked by a pair of arms grasping him, easing his fall. He landed on the grass more softly than he expected, and looked up to see Henri lowering him the the ground. Yianni lay beside him, wheezing. The horse lord had an anxious look on his face.
'Did you see Anzra in there?' He questioned sharply, as Wacko rose to a sitting position. Around him he could see that his position had changed. The portal, which had once stood sentinel to the icy wastes of the north, now stood proud and firm before the gates of Minas Tirith.
'Anzra, yeah I saw him, how did I get here?'
'You came through the portal right there you fool.'
'But, the portal was...'
'About half and hour ago, we saw this portal appear in front of the city gates. Anzra went into investigate, you said you saw him?'
'Yeah I did, he ran with us, but he fell and...'
'This is grave news, I must inform the Tibbles...'
Henri strode quickly back to the white city, Wacko followed suit, with Yianni panting behind them.

This is all I will write for tonight, because I'm tired. :(
 
Would you like to rethink your statement?

(there was a problem with the post, so I had to make the post, and edit the story in.)
