Mellon is all evil and darkness.Mellon is half elf and half human. Mellon has raven black hair, green eyes, and he is 7'5"! His mission in life is to control the earth. He has a two headed cobra, whose heads are named Mars and Troy, Mars has white eyes and Troy has orange eyes.
The earth is very dark and barren and most of the oceans are dried up. Mellon, Mars, and Troy live where the Atlantic ocean was, in a black tower which has many windows.
Mellon is looking for Tank, the last leader of the free people, and Momo, his pet. Tank has Blue hair, green eyes, and he is 6ft. Tank is very good at sword fighting . Momo is a dog, he is grey all over and very powerful.
Tank is watching the sun come up and spreading its warm rays across the land. This must be what peace looks like, Tank thought. He had never known peace before! His father had told him that peace is when people make beautiful things other then swords and war machines. As his father told him the wonders of peace, Tank's father's face would glow with an inner happiness. This made Tank fight for something he never knew, only in his dreams.
Tank heard fast steps coming his way! A short man with a full, dark, brown beard and blue eyes came running from the the woods!
'' Sir, your spies have found Mellon's army. They are looking for us!" said the short man out of breath.
"How many men, Steven?" asked Tank.
There came a very long pause. "Well, Steven?"
"About 50 thousand strong!!" replied Steven.
Tank's eyes widened and a hard ball formed in his throat. "Well," said Tank trying to stay calm, "he is not just trying to find us, but to kill the rest of happiness, ,joy, love, and the human kind!!!"
Steven gripped his sword looking calm, "My lord, in all my life I have never served a mightier lord then you. I will fight with you to the end, if it is the wish of the most high."
Mars and Troy were eating their dinner when Mellon came in their tent. His face was red as blood and he was breathing from his mouth, sounding like a dying creature!
" Peace, master, peace!" sneered Mars.
" How can I have peace when it has been more then six months and we still have not found these beasts who are trying to take over my world!!!!"
" What about our prisoner?" pepped up Troy.
" Servant!!!" roared Mellon. A servant came through a purple silk curtain.
"Yes, most great one?" said the servant looking to the ground.
"Bring me meat and wine and bring it fast or I will remove your fingers!" said Mellon in a matter of fact way.
The servant went running to get food for his master.
" What about the prisoner!?!" repeated Troy loudly.
" O!" said Mellon " I got angry with her because she would not answer any of my questions, so I killed her with my fire!"
"WHAT? you KILLED her!!!!!" cried Mars and Troy their eyes blazing like the sun!
" fool, fool!" cried Mars " we could have forced our self into her mind and found out everything we wanted to know! Why do the gods torment us with such a reckless master?" Mars and Troy went sliding out of the tent and into the growing darkness.
"How dare they speak to me like I was a foolish and weak humans," thought Mellon. If it was not for him and his father they would both be dead when they were still young! After I have found Tank and destroyed him, there will be no more need for Mars and Troy!
Then came in the servant. "Here is your meal, O most wise and powerful Mellon," handing him a plate full of meat.
"Son of a donkey and slower then a slug. What take you so long in getting my food?"
"I.... did not w-want to disturb you as you were talking to the great twins," stammered the servant shaking all over and looking like a cornered animal.
"You also have memory like an old person; where is my WINE!!!!" barked Mellon
" Do you think Mellon knows where we are?" asked Momo, her eyes glowing in the fire light.
" Our spies say that they are still looking for us, but it will not be too long till they find our tunnel," answered Tank. A sound of a beautiful horn came to Momo's and Tank's ears, shaking the very roots of the mountain . " The troops are ready!"
" What was that?" sniped Troy "It sounded like a horn!" said Mars sounding surprised. They went closer to the mountain. " Could it be them?" said Troy " shhh, some one is here. I feel their blood!" whispered Mars.
"How beautiful and evil they looked," thought the spy. "I most go and tell Tank about this!" He started running to the tunnel!!
" There he is running, quickly we most follow him!" cried Mars, gliding across the land like wild fire." I -I see!!!" cried Troy.
" O quiet, brother, see he heard us!!!" said Mars glaring at Troy.
" He's going into a tunnel! WE have found them at last! At last the world will be ours for ever!!!!" laughed Troy." " We must tell Mellon and start digging and rally the men!!"
"The time of the humans is starting to end!" sung Mars.
"Yes, it is. I smell pain, death, and no more joy!!!!!" said the evil brothers!
The air was so quite that Tank could hear his own heart beating in the darknesses . He hated the waiting before a battle,and the doughts that sneek into his brain. Steven and Momo came sneaking from the darkness. " What news have you brought ?" Asked Tank.
" My lord, Mellons armys are all sleeping and only a few guards are on watch!" replied Steven hope in his voice.
" Mellon is proud and that will be his downfall !!" chuckled Momo.
A plan was forming in Tank's mind! " We can surprise Mellon and surround him on all sides! If we move fast, Mellons army will crush each other!!!"
" YES,yes!" said Steven with a mouth full of bread ." Great plan, we also should attack Mellons food supplies and war machines too!"
" Tank, we should came as close as possible to Mellon before attacking him! We must be among them when we attack or they will start to organize," spoke up Mom, her voice a low whisper.
The attack came quickly and quietly! Mellon was in his tent sleeping. The whole sky soon began to glow red!! " What! It can not be morning!" thought Mellon.
"MELLON!!!!" came the voices of Mars and Troy, as they went gliding into his tent! " We are being attack from all sides, half of your war machines are destroyed, and ..." Then came the sounds of men fighting and dieing!!
" How could they come so close and so fast?" asked Troy.
Mellon's troops were lost!!! everywhere they turned there was Tank's men ready to kill them!
By mid - afternoon the ground was wet with the blood of men and horses!
" Call off the attack," shouted Tank " My men are getting tired and we need to think."
" As you wish, my lord!" said Steven looking like a dead man. All of them were dusty and bloody from the war. Tank had never felt so sleepily and tired in his life.The fighters went to their underground homes.
" We are defeated !!" said one of Mellons soldiers." More then half of your men are dead and all of your war machines are gone!!! We should leave and get more men."
" I have no more men!!!!" shouted Mellon. " This is your fault! Why were there only five watchers?!?."
" We will get no were blaming each other. We need think of some thing wise quickly!" Sneered Mars.
" You" said Troy staring at Mellon " need to fight Tank by yourself, if he dies the free people will be crippled!"
"Good plan. Send a messenger with a white flag and tell him to say that Mellon the Great wants to fight Tank at single-comeback, whoever wins will win the war. Tank must answer by next morning!" said Mellon. Mellons soldier went running to find a messenger." If any one dared to" he thought.
Mellon waited and waited. The sun went across the sky and night was coming on fast! Mellon was looking at a map when his servant came in. " Great one, Tank has answered." said the servant. " Well, speak up then"
" He sent a letter. Here it is !!!" Mellon grabbed the letter and tore it open. it said "YES."
" I will crush him like an ant" cried Mellon, his green eyes full with darkness and evil.
The battle ground was ready! Mellon's army was waiting for Tank. Many hoped that Mellon would be defeated! Mellon was so mean and unmerciful to them. If he was killed they all could go home and see their family and friends.
"Here he comes!" shouted a young man." He comes with a short man and a huge dog! The dog must be Momo!!!" Men shivered hearing the three friends mentioned.
"General Henry, should I go tell Mellon that Tank is here?"
"Yes, go tell him and go fast; Mellon is in a bad mood!" the young man's face turned pale and he trotted off to get Mellon.
When Tank, Momo, and Steven came into the battle ground there was dead silence. Tank gave a cold stare to every man he saw! Inside his mind, Tank knew that if he worked hard he could kill Mellon and free all of human kind. "The silence is killing me," grumbled Steven.
"They are afraid of you Tank, I can feel it!" said Momo.
Then came a loud sound of a horn! "All bow down to the great and only ruler of the earth, Mellon!" Men made a path from Mellon's tent and bowed down their faces to the ground, all but Tank, Momo, and Steven who stood tall. He came, wearing all black, his raven black hair pulled back, and his green eyes bore into Tank's head. "You can not kill me!" Right next to him glided Mars and Troy. They never let their eyes off Tank. Tank felt like someone was pushing him into the ground! Steven put his hand on Tank's shoulder and the pressure stopped!
"These rats are already using magic!" raged Momo.
"Do not worry, Tank, the Most High is always with you." said Steven.
"Bah, you still believe in that cheap god?!" laughed Mellon who was standing 6ft away from Tank." Soon you will see that I'm god!"
"If you were God you would have killed us a long time ago," spoke up Momo, her throat dry.
"Shut up, we will drink your blood and leave your body for the wild and dark things of night, dog!" cried Mars and Troy .
"You are smaller then I expected, and younger." said Mellon looking down at Tank," and your friend looks like a child he is so small!" smiling at Steven, who was about 3ft taller then Steven!
"I can make you my own height!" said Steven, gripping his sword.
"Not before I crush you like a bug!" replied Mellon.
"Mellon, I did not come here to make fun of each, but I came to end a war!" shouted Tank.
"Fine!" said Mellon drawing his sword, which was black and cold like himself! Momo and Steven moved away from Tank. "Good luck, dear friend." said Steven.
"Don't worry about death Tank, remember what the Most High will give to his servant after death!" said Momo her eyes looking hopefully.
Tank took his sword in his hands and shouted "I'm ready!" as he was circling Mellon, looking for a weak point. There was none.
Mellon jumped at Tank with his sword pointing at his chest; Tank moved out of the way in seconds and hit Melon's sword with all of his might. Then their swords met with a great ringing! Jump, duck, left, right to avoid Mellon's sword. Tank hit Mellons sword so hard that he spun in a half circle. Just as Mellon's back was to Tank, Tank jumped on it and gave him two deep slices on both shoulders close to his neck! Blood jumped from his wounds and Mellon fell to the ground.
When he hit the ground, Mellon knew he could not fight! He could not move his fingers at all. In his mind he called for Mars and Troy. "Destroy him at once!"
"Our pleasure," hissed Troy.
All at once Tanks eyes began to water and he could not hear. "What is happening?" thought Tank.
He tried to talk but pain came. He dropped his sword and knew no more.
Mellon came to his knees and a voice which was in shock said, "Gen. Henry, rally the men and kill the rest of the free people. At last the earth will be mine and I will rule for . . ." then came a sharp pain on his neck. He turned around to see Mars and Troy. "How could you?!" cried Mellon, putting his hand on his neck. " Fool, this was our plan since day one," laughed Mars and Troy and then they struck Mellon on his eyes. Mellon gave a terrible cry and fell to the ground for the last time. Mellon the Great was dead!
Suddenly Momo leaped on Mars and Troy, baring her razor sharp claws; with one of her paws she crushed Mars, breaking his head. Mars went limp!
"O, my dear brother!" cried Troy his face twisted with pain and sadness. " Gen... General Henry! Attack and kill Tank's friends."
Gen. Henry and his men did not move a muscle.
"What are you waiting for? Kill them, there are only two!"
Troy watched in horror as he saw Gen. Henry walk over to Tank and bend over him for a second. A small smile came to his lips. "Tank is alive! The true hero is alive!" shouted Gen. Henry.
Death was close to the hero. Death would touch him with his icy hands and whisper into his ears, "Come follow me." But the hero would not let death defeat him. This day death was not so strong. Death was just a shadow.
As strength came back to the hero, he felt for the first time peace and freedom.
The End.
