[ WP ] Write an epic battle

The halls were quiet for a moment before a mangled creature scuttled through one entry. Pale skinned slick with sweat he sprinted on all fours towards a great golden doorway. Pushing with all his might he was able to crack the double doors open just enough to squirm in. The castle rocked suddenly as if something had slammed against the tower walls. 
 `` The humans have breached the outer walls and are now entering the main courtyard master.'' A dark figure rises off a stone throne, 
 `` How is this possible? They are just mortals! They should fall as wheat before my armies!'' The figure bellowed. 
 `` They are accompanied by great heroes my lord that are far beyond our ability to deal with.'' The frightened creature stammered. The great figure rose from the throne. 
 `` Get my armor, and open the main doors...'' 
 
 Outside near the north wall streams of men rushed over the collapsed rubble into the large central courtyard to do battle with legions of things that go bump in the night. Rain blew in a light breeze as moonlight shown through rare gaps in the sky above. Axes bit into rotting flesh, arrows pierced large yellow eyes, as maces splintered living bone. 
 Four heavily armored figures rose over the fallen wall, all in black armor with different inlays of gold, bronze, ruby, and emerald. They looked upon the melee below with mild apathy. 
 `` Looks like the day is almost ours.'' Gold muttered crossing his arms. 
 `` One more obstacle...'' Bronze responded. The men in the courtyard had beaten back the hordes below and were approaching the main doors. The thick stone entryway door burst forth and opened to a massive figure perhaps 10 feet in height and clad in blood red armor. The front backed up several feet as the figure walked forward from the doors. A wicked mace of ebony large enough to double as a tree trunk was held in one hand. A single man in front charged forward, shield held high, sword above only to be crushed below the mace. The impact shattered the stone floor as bone and blood flew from the impact. Waves of men charged in and were felled by the great armored figure. 
 Upon the collapsed rampart the four knights looked at one another for a moment before gold spoke, 
 `` This is a battle for man... You two should go.'' He said eyeing ruby and emerald. 
 Below the courtyard was filling with the dead as the armored figure stood unhindered by countless assailants. The men backed away with the look of fatigue and woe in their eyes. One at the front raised his sword and shield just as a heavy glove rested on his shoulder. 
 `` Let us handle this one.'' Emerald said with a hint of glee in his voice. The men at the front parted and gave room to the two knights in black. Ruby was slightly taller, 5 feet 11 inches or so and was broader of bone. Emerald was smaller by a pair of inches and as many dozen pounds. It was hard to look into their eyes as helmets obscured all but chin, tooth and nose, but emerald seemed to always have a smile of sorts on his face. Ruby never had much of anything to show or say as far as the men had heard. 
 `` You or me?'' Emerald said stretching out. Ruby crossed his arms, 
 `` You.'' Ruby said looking forward towards the hulking blood soaked form. 
 Emerald opened his hand and from the heavens a rumble sounded as if thunder were gathering. A bolt of light shot from the heavens and slammed into the courtyard as if a lightening strike. Materialized in the hands of the emerald knight was a black metal spear, tip of obsidian and emerald inlays. Grasping it firmly he plucked it from the courtyard and pointed towards the hulking figure. 
 `` Ready, set, go!'' The emerald knight shot forward almost faster than the men could see. His features blurred as he crossed the courtyard. His spear dipped just in front of the hulking figure. The tip gripped the stone and shot the emerald knight skyward just as a mace blow skipped off the courtyard. Spinning through the air the emerald knight landed lightly behind the hulking red monster facing away. The butt of his spear shot back and slammed into the monsters back driving him several yards away and off balance. The emerald wheeled around and shot forward after the beast, spear tip glistening in the torchlight, rain dripping of the deadly weapon. Just as the tip would land between a crease in the blood red armor the beast seemed to vanish. Emerald skidded to a stop where the beast once stood and began to turn just as a mace slammed into his helmet from behind. Emerald flew through the air from the impact for thirty or so feet before twisting mid air and landing softly on the courtyard floor. Instantly the hulking beast was before him another blow en-route. This time emerald seemed to move faster than once could see. He blurred for a moment as he spun around the blow and to the side of the hulking knight. A boot to the side of the knee felled the monster towards emerald who spun around and brought the back side of his fist hard against the monsters leaning head. The impact sent a shock wave through the night air that was audible throughout the courtyard.
