In the last months of 760 SR, the Hokage Army had begun to re-assemble, using a variety of humans to fuel the campaign for bringin in a new Era to crush Morimoto's Prosperity Era. Their Era would be soaked in the blood of the innocent, and the souls of their enemies would be the open door needed for Hokage Shogure to take full control of Gaeasei. On January 4, 761, the Hokage Army was at full capacity. They began by assaulting Gatsa-Tô, home of the governing body of Gaeasei, Morimoto Gatsa. Upon doing so, it was realized that the new Hokage Army was reinforced by supernatural powers. Morimoto Gatsa fled the capital, Keiga, and has evaded Hokage as best as he could. This deranged attack on the peace of Gaeasei has come to everyone's attention, and a new Morimoto Army has been structured to combat the evil army of Hokage Shogure, now known as Kurai Senshi, the Dark Warrior.
GATSA: "It's you! I must speak with you at once!"
RYUUSEI: "L-Lord Gatsa! What are you doing here?"
GATSA: "I've come for you, Amidamaru... And Horikawa Sanosuke as well."
RYUUSEI: "Have you come to execute us for being a part of the Hokage Army years ago?"
GATSA: "No, Amidamaru. I have come to you, asking you to become a General in my army, so that the vile forces of the new Hokage Army can be defeated!"
RYUUSEI: "H-Hokage?!"
GATSA: "Yes.... I'm afraid it's true. My Army was once capable of crushing the Hokage Army. But it seems as though the army has a power that is beyond human now, and my army fell quickly. All of my men were slaughtered."
RYUUSEI: "I'm not a soldier anymore, Lord Gatsa...."
GATSA: "Please Ryuusei! I need your help! This peaceful era I helped to create will topple if Hokage Shogure is not stopped!"
RYUUSEI: "I'll think about it. Where will I find you?"
GATSA: "I'm sorry, but I cannot reveal that. I may have come seeking your assistance, but still I don't know how you side... when the time comes I shall find you, Ryuusei Amidamaru."
With those words Morimoto Gatsa departs and vanishes into the fog of the early morning.
RYUUSEI: "......."

Kenshin was sitting up against the trunk of a large tree, sleeping soundly. The youth had his arms crossed, cradling Akisame, which was resting against his chest. His wakazashi was lying on the grass at his side. The sun slowly rose up over the horizon. The sunlight flooded through the leaves and casted bits of light over the sleeping swordsman. As Kenshin stirred in his sleep, he opened his eyes. Blinking, he glanced about. After a few moments, he noticed his master wasn't around. So, he got to his feet, and tucked his two swords into his sash. He stretched his arms over his head, breathing in the cool morning air.
Kenshin: "Amidamaru Sensei...?"
His breath rose up above him as he calmly called for Ryuusei. Recieving no reply, he decided he would just wait where he was. He looked upwards into the blue morning sky, sighing....

OOC: After being preassured to join.. i hope this is suitable for the quest.))
Tempest swung his new mace, the enchanted weapon perfectly weighted and moving freely in his hands. He swung it around, moving about in the main feild of Half-Hill. Part of him couldn't get over that he had been here for a full year. He was still partialy clueless as to what was going on, but that was good enough for him. Sylvia always went into the villiage a few miles away to gather the latest gossip and return to tell him.
Rumor was flying over the land, something about a huge army spreading this way. He figured they were safe, being as far north as Golden Valley was. Maybe he would take a fly-over tomorrow and just see what was happening. He found he was doing that more often as of late. Just soaring over the land, looking for anything unusual.
He had helped a villiage a while back when the buillding that housed their blacksmith caught fire, and set fire to the rest of the homes and businesses on that street. He was able to help put it out with Sylvia's help. In return, they gave him the mace.
Sylvia ran up to him, panting. There was a look of fear in her eyes, something that he only saw once.
Sylvia: "The Hokage Army... they are advancing this way... millions of them."
Tempest stopped his movment, looking at her for a moment.
Tempest: "Hokage? That's a land to the west, right?"
Sylvia: "Yes... we have to do something."
Tempet hooked the mace to a ring on his belt, running for the Hill. He ran up the side, hoping that it would give him a better range of veiw. All it did was show him where the smoke was.
Sylvia was at his side in a moment, pointing.
Sylvia: "They said there... to follow the smoke."
Tempest squinted, able to see a fair distance. The veiw of smoke never changed. It was a 5 hour flight to get there.
Tempest: "Wait here."
Tempest lept off the top of the hill, spreading his wings and soaring to the smoke. He rose above the cloud cover, seeing the smoke also rise. Something big was burning.

Ryuusei returns to where he had left Kenshin.
AMIDAMARU: "So, you're awake now... good."
Amidamaru sits against a tree, and appears to be deep in thought.

Kenshin shifts his gaze from the sky to over Ryuusei. He smiles, and nods.
Kenshin: "Ohayou, Amidamaru Sensei."
After a moment, he notices Ryuusei deep in thought. The youth leans his back up against a tree, looking back up to the sky.
Kenshin: "If you don't mind me asking; what seems to be troubling you...?"

RYUUSEI: "I'm not sure I should be discussing it.... however, I was approached moments ago by Lord Morimoto Gatsa. He invited me to join his army as a Shôgun, and help lead his army into victory against some sort of simulated Hokage Army.... but he says they appear to be backed by super-natural powers of some sort."
Ryuusei continues to think to himself, pondering the choices he must make.

Kenshin: "Lord Gatsa was here?"
The youth seemed quite surprised, but his reaction to Lord Gatsa's appearance paled in comparation to the part about the Hokage.
Kenshin: "H-Hokage?! But... I thought they..."
The boy didn't finish his sentence, instead, he thought silently to himself about the whole situation. After a while, he spoke up again.
Kenshin: "What was your response to Lord Gatsa's invatation?"

AMIDAMARU: "I haven't given a response yet. I'm not sure fighting in an army again will suit me well. When I was in the Hokage Army I was praised as a War Hero because I slaughtered countless enemies, and innocent villagers as well. I'd hate to think the same would happen should I side with Lord Gatsa."
Amidamaru sits and continues pondering.
AMIDAMARU: "He wants Sanosuke to side with him as well...."

Kenshin: "So, I don't suppose we can stay neutral in this?"
Sighing, Kenshin reflects on his own past. He leans against the tree, his arms crossed. He gazes upwards into the sky. He was lost in his thoughts as well...

AMIDAMARU: "No... remaining neutral is not an option. I could attempt to go out on my own and try to stop Shogure myself... that way I could avoid joining the Morimoto army... But if I did there's no guarantee that the Hokage forces would cease their advance. Also, who's to say I could even make it to Shogure without being killed first."
Amidamaru stands.
AMIDAMARU: "I have made my decision. I will join the Morimoto Army... but only until Hokage Shogure is defeated."

Kenshin continues to gaze into the sky, listening to Amidamaru's reply. The youth glances over at Ryuusei as he stands. He moves away from the tree; after hearing his Sensei's decision. Kenshin nods, respecting his master's choice in the matter.
Kenshin: "Then, I shall serve at your side."

AMIDAMARU: "Alright then. All we can do now is wait for Lord Gatsa to come back to see me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GATSA: "So now that you've heard, will you side with me to stop the Hokage Army?"
SANO: "Hokage Army....... yeh, count me in."
GATSA: "Excellent! Many thanks to you! You are now a Shôgun in my new army. Hopefully you will fight along side Ryuusei Amidamaru in battle again."
SANO: "Oh, is he joining also?"
GATSA: "I'm not sure yet, but I certainly hope so."
SANO: "Keep me posted."
GATSA: "I need you to be at Hokage Habor tomorrow at sundown. That is where some of us will be gathering. Then we will shift to Ryoko, and then Yagyu to collect our remaining forces."
SANO: "I'll be there."

Kenshin: "Well, should we head over to Konogi's for now?"
Amidamaru gives a brief nod, and starts walking towards Konogi's. He slows down so Kenshin can catch up. The two head towards Konogi's house....

Tempest flew over the remains of Mishima, seeing the rumored army spreading out around and down to the south. They were huge, and consuming the countryside. He flew to the south, looking over the army. They spread all the way to Ryoko. The farms were either ravaged, or destroyed. Livestock either comsumed or taken. It ticked him of to even think that. He dropped, folding in his wings and diving down. He opened then again to look at the organization of the camp. There didn't seem to be much order. He would make a sketch of it later.
A pass over Ryoko showed that the town was still intacked, but under Hokage rule. Was there general there? He would have to find a way to spy there somehow.
He back winged suddenly as a wall of arrows shot up at him, barely missing slicing his wing membranes. He flipped over and launched himself higher into the sky, into the cover of the clouds. He circled in the clouds, wondering what to do. A million strong army... taking advantage of the land he knew, and he didn't know what the hell he could do about it. There had to be somewhere he could go to to find help, but more than likly, the rest of world knew about this... Where the hell could he go?
OOC: I'm going on vacation for a week... so i wont be around... but not like anyone will miss me.))

((OOC: Of course we'll miss you! We're not ALL insensitive bastards, y'know.))
Day 2-
Thus far, the Hokage Army has managed to conquer the Mishima region (which is just the land). They have begun to use this area as a base camp for their main forces. However, Ryoko has also fallen into their control. Their next target has been declared, and it is the village of Yagyu. They're courses have already been plotted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After Ryoko fell into Hokage control, Red DeLuce took to hiding. He works now gathering as much intelligence on the Hokage Army as possible, while trying to remain hidden. This task proves to be more and more difficult as the hours pass.
RED: 'So.. Yagyu's next, huh... I wonder when they'll move east.. I'm sure the Argos is on their list of objectives...'
Red looses his footing and a twig snaps under his boot.
RED: 'Shit!'
SOLDIER1: "You hear somethin'?"
SOLDIER2: "Yeh, it came from up there... let's go check it out."
Both soldiers draw their swords, and go to investigate.
RED: 'Aw hell!'
Red draws his sword, and quickly moves from his position to a new hiding place.
SOLDIER1: "Nothin' here."
SOLDIER2: ".....not now, no. But look.... someone WAS here."
He points to a broken twig with a shoe-print in the mud surrounding it.
SOLDIER1: "We need to inform General Kazama at once. I'll stay here while you go."
SOLDIER2: "General Kazama won't be pleased..."
SOLDIER1&2: 'Sheesh... Kazama's such a jerk....'
RED: 'FAWK! Now I'm gonna have people lookin' for me!'
