Dark Commander: We got word from our scouts that the visitors are indeed near the tree of wisdom...
Dark Knight: Sir, isn't the forest of wisdom dangerous place? As in, the trees magical energies might be strong enough to wipe out all of us!
Dark Commander: Not necessarily... We are of dark nature... And the Devil pest has also infect parts of the area... I know the power of the Tree is getting weaker by the second..
Dark Knight: But what about the God Junon?
Dark Commander: don't worry too much, fool! That God's powers should be weak as well! We should be able to beat him! Anyway... All of you, we must prepare ourselves! this is no laughing matter! the visitors must die! Now let's go to the forest and kill them in the name of the Dark Goddess!
All: Right!

Soon, the dark army entered the forest of wisdom.. the tree had already knew thewir plot and has already warned the visitors... Soon, the visitors are finally ready and are standing guard at the base of the great tree...

Lucid: Are you sure you wish to fight, milord?
Junon: Yes.. They are Hebarn's minions after all...
Lilith: But their numbers might be too great, even for you alone...
Junon: I've faced far more greater numbers than this... I can handle this...
Kirnale: If you say so milord...
Maru: Prepare yourselves! The enemy is about to attack!
Moro: Are they approaching?!
Maru: Yeah! And they're moving real fast!
Sugar: Here's come the enemy!
Eriol: I'll stay here for healing and summoning...
Elysia: Me and Namiele will try to eliminate the enemy with our magic.
Namiele: Yes.. we shall do our best....
Larg: Puu! I'll help out as well!
Kirnale: Alright then.. everything is set!
Lucid: Yeah.. Let's prepare to fight!

Soon, the dark army arrived and the commander went in front...

Junon: Not in a million years!
Lucid: Yeah! We wont give up that easily!
Dark Commander: Very well then. Everyone! Attack! Kill at will!
Elysia: Now's the time to fight back! Attack!
Lucid: Let's rush the enemy and do aforward push!
Junon: But what ever you do, don't let any one of them get near the tree!
All: Right!

Soon the field was littered with blood and many bodies are lying on the floor.. But the battle ravaged on, and soon the visitors are starting to get tired...

Kirnale: Yeah.. Cant kepp up...
Maru and Moro: We're both tired...
Lilith: And there are plenty more where they came from...
