Wraknorian had already put his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to intercept and interfere for the one side, but is visibly relieved at not having to, and returns his hand to his side. Sull's emotions are betrayed by the look on his face: He is visibly annoyed.
Wraknorian: "What is there to know about the upcoming battle, and how soon will it begin?" -------------------- Miorix lands in Lore, and is quickly greeted by several armed men. He takes a drink, and offers them one. -------------------- Di'En is out of breath, and is only walking now. Yet, he quickly approaches dead man's route.

Ryuusei looks to Wraknorian, while Mash and Sull listen on.
RYUUSEI: "We expect an oncoming assault on Dead Man's Route within the next hour or so. After that, I expect another two hours before the Hokage reach Lore."
MASH: "Wh-what? Why not just wipe them out in the desert?"
RYUUSEI: "First of all. If our troops tried to subjugate them all in the desert, there would be too many casualties. If we thin out, and let the Hokage penetrate the defensive, we can spare alot of troops. We have the Hunters assisting us now, but even still, the Hokage has sorcerors with the ability to use Black Magick, so I've been told."
MASH: "....I see.... So, for once you CAN use your head... amazing."
RYUUSEI: "The second reason, is because I want to kill Hokage here at Lore, in front of all of these witnesses. That way he can go to Oblivion knowing that the world is laughing at him."
MASH: "I already told you, I'M gonna be the one to kill Hokage Shogure."
RYUUSEI: "...we'll see." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sano looks over the horizon and sees a massive army approaching.
SANO: "OK EVERYONE! TO ARMS! THE HOKAGE APPROACHES!"
Sanosuke draws his sword, and readies himself for combat. His Wisp companion appears to him, and floats nearby.
SANO: "Oh? You're back!"
WISP: 'Been awhile, eh Sano? I'm going to help you out as much as I can.'
SANO: "Good... I might have you collect some of those Black Magick spells... They might be handy..."
WISP: 'We'll see what they have first..'
The troops look on curiously as Sano appeared to be talking to himself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red sits in the tavern in Lore, drinking himself into an unsober state.
RED: "Ma-an... If it ain't one thing it's another... War, demons, monsters, super-powered robots bent on destruction.... eh....People like us, Goku... People like us never catch a break, do we? We-ell, let's go kill us some Hokage troops, eh?"
Red staggers to his feet, grabs his sword and shield from the table-top, and heads out the door on his way to the Council Room to meet up with Ryuusei again.
RED: "...hm? 'Ey! Goku! C'mon!"

Miorix enters the tavern, after leaving behind several drunk soldiers, and runs into Red, not entirely sober. Miorix: "Eh... sorry 'bout that. Want a drink?" He smiles. ------------------------- Sull closes his eyes and listens to the sounds of the two armys approaching each other in the distance. He concentrates, hoping to catch the formations, tactics, and important persona of the enemy's army. Wraknorian: "So we are just going to wait here?" He sits down to get some rest before the battle. ------------------------- Di'En arrives at Dead Man's route, and sees two armys facing each other. He follows his instincts, hoping that he chose the right one. Fortunately, he did.

Red stares at Miorix with glazed-over eyes.
RED: "....Goku.... We ain't leavin' jes' yet...."
Red staggers back to the bar and sits near Miorix.
RED: "...hm...I'll eh... have...eh...somethin'...."
The clerk walks to Miorix to take his order.
CLERK: "And how about you, sir? What would you like?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sano looks on as the Hokage soldiers draw closer.
SANO: ".....another 5 minutes and we'll be in range to use Magick atleast..."
Almost as soon as those words leave his mouth, a shower of Black orbs of destructive power come down on the Gatsa Army. The troops scatter quickly, trying to avoid damage as much as possible, but a good number of men are killed.
SANO: "Dammit all! The Black Magick!"
Sano flies up into the air using his Bukujutsu, and begins firing a barrage of Sword Slash Waves, hoping to deflect as many of the Black orbs as possible. The orbs that don't hit the troops fall to the ground, and summon undead minions.
SANO: "Dammit all! The undead even! This is ridiculous!"
He begins to fire even more Sword Slash Waves at the undead army that is surfacing as the Hokage Troops draw closer.
SANO: "EVERYONE! FULL OFFENSIVE! NOW!"
The troops form into position and begin their counter-offensive. Zombies and humans alike are dying on the field as the untouched Hokage Army hastens their pace. Within moments the Hokage join the all out Melee, with swords swinging and magick spells flying everywhere.
SANO: "Argh! There's so damned many of 'em!"
WISP: 'Hang in there, Sano... Everything will be ok.'
SANO: "Easy for you to say, they can't hurt you!"
Sano hacks down a few Hokage Troops, and then a few zombies. The body count is rising quickly, but the Hokage Army continues to advance.
SANO: "We're not holding them off very well at all!"
Sano spots Di'En in the distance.
SANO: "HEY YOU! GET OUTTA HERE! CAN'T YOU SEE THERE'S A WAR GOIN' ON HERE!?"
As he hollers back to the merchant, a few Gatsa Troops gather around to buy medical supplies from Di'En.
The commander shouts out to Sanosuke.
COMMANDER: "THE HUNTERS ARE TAKING UP THE REAR, SIR, BUT THE HOKAGE KEEP ON COMING! WHAT DO WE DO?"
SANO: "What do I look like? Just fight 'em off for Galvas' sake!"
The Gatsa sorcerors begin to conjur their elemental spells as the Hokage sorcerors conjur their Black spells. The sorcerors battle each other harshly, and many of them fall quickly.
SANO: "Hn... We can't afford to lose all of the sorcerors here! DAMMIT ALL!"
WISP: 'You might have to call a retreat...'
SANO: "No chance! I've been in worse situations than this before! TIGHTEN THE OFFENSIVE! SUMMON THE DEITIES! Dammit, Red would be good to have around right now....We could've used his Summons..."
Deities begin sprouting out of Magickal portals as the Summoners do their magicks.
SANO: "Keep it up, people! I'd like to see the next sunrise if it's not too much to ask!"

Di'En smiles, and his imitation staff attempts to store the black magick used by the Hokage army. ((OOC: Vegeta... your decision whether it works or not.)) He hears Sano. Di'En: "... WANT A HEALING POTION? STORM SPELLS? I CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE." He takes a deep breath. Di'En: "FOR A FEE!" Di'En feels his heart beating, as he dislikes battle. Still, there's money in it, after all. He starts selling healing potions, giving each soldier a friendly smile. After selling all except 2 potions, he uses his Windwalk, moving to Sano quickly. Di'En: "One healing potion as a freebie, if you hire me. Everything else costs. Decide now." ---------------------- Sull shakes his head. Sull: "Not good. They used some powerful black magick, and undead are attacking them." He repeats Sano's words exactly as the wind carries them. Wraknorian looks worried, and turns to Ryuusei. Wraknorian: "I pledged myself to Gatsa's cause, and you are leading his army. What do you say...?" ---------------------- Miorix: "Eh... I think... I'll have... what he said. Two of 'em, actually." He laughs, and gives Red a hearty, drunk clap on the shoulder.

Di'En absorbs some of the Black Orbs, and the rest fall harmlessly away from him, sprouting more undead ghouls. However, by the time they surface completely, Di'En has reached Sano, and is out of range of the undead's melee attacks.
Sano blocks off a few more Black Orbs with his Sword Slash Wave, then turns to Di'En.
SANO: "Under one condition."
Sano slaughters another zombie, and smacks aside an elemental Lightning Orb fired by a regular Sorceror from the Hokage.
SANO: "You don't get paid until we reach Lore. If you can accept those terms, welcome aboard. If you can't, have a safe trip."
Sano flies into the fray, going into the middle of a small group of Hokage troops, and he begins to battle them, killing several near instantly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryuusei looks to Wraknorian, then he gazes out of a window in the Commerce Chamber.
RYUUSEI: "We will stay put."
Mash becomes slightly alarmed by Ryuusei's response.
MASH: "What?! Are you crazy?! Fool! We need to drop those bastards on the spot!"
RYUUSEI: "...YOU can do what you want. But if you're one to follow my orders, you'll stay put."
MASH: "Why th' hell do you want him to stay put anyway?"
RYUUSEI: "Because the both of you are quite strong, I will admit.... and for this reason I'll need you to assist the troops in defending Lore."
MASH: "Well we wouldn't HAVE to defend Lore if you'd go all out in the desert, now WOULD WE?"
RYUUSEI: "It is imperitive that the Hokage Army reaches Lore."
MASH: "That's foolishness!"
RYUUSEI: "I won't repeat myself again. This will be the last time. If you follow my orders, stay put. If not, do as you will."
MASH: "I'm gonna stay put. You're waiting for Hokage, and I'm gonna make sure I get to him first!"
Mash storms out of the Commerce Chamber and relocates to a look-out tower. He stands there with his arms crossed, determined not to move an inch until Hokage Shogure becomes visible.
RYUUSEI: "And what will you do, Wraknorian?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red kicks back his drink, and signals for another one.
RED: "Sooo...*hic*...what brings you....uh... here."
He points to the stool in a drunken manner, but he was referring to Lore.

He casts wind blast to knock away several approaching enemies. Di'En: "Sure thing, you just got yourself a mage!" He raises his hands, and casts a storm at a portion of the Hokage troops that is still at a distance, and slows them down. He then continues by using the white wind on Gatsa's troops, healing them. -------------- Wraknorian: "It would waste too much energy to go there and help. I am of greater use here." Sull doesn't react to the things around him, but continues to try to figure out the size of the army, and their commanders. --------------- Miorix empties his first drink, without looking at what he got. Miorix: "Eh? I'm... just traveling. Woke up in a boat this... afternoon. Funny story... I don't remember how I got there. Musta had a drink too many the night before... Where was I? Ah, right... yeah, so I'm just traveling around. What 'bout you?" He tilts his head slightly, and looks at Red. Then he looks at his second drink, and continues drinking.

RED: "Hm?"
He looks up in a drunken stupor.
RED: "....hm... why did I....Oh! Right! Uhm, there's a war goin' on, and I'm gonna kill me some Hokage troops. They started it though, so they deserve it."
He downs his second, and orders a third.
RED: "People these days... no...uh.... y'know... what's that word... uh... respect! No respect at all!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RYUUSEI: "I see. Very well then. Why not accompany that guy, Mash, in the look-out tower. Perhaps then you won't be so bored."
Ryuusei continues staring out of the window, looking at nothing in particular. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Sano and the troops, including the newly hired Seeker, Di'En, continue to hack and slash their way through Hokage Troops, though the enemies advance seems never-ending.
SANO: "This... is just TOO much!"
Sano fires wave after wave of his Sword Slash Wave.
Wisp floats over to Di'En and copies his White Wind spell, and begins to help Di'En heal the troops.

Goku just sat there, munching on a bowl of curry rice. He didn't talk much, but just sat there listening to the interaction between Red and Miorix.
Goku: *Chew chew*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenshin, being completely silent for the most part, continued to do just that: Remain silent. He sat alone against a tree, his arms crossed, cradling Akisame. He remained close to all the other soldiers, whom were in the Tavern, Shop, Inn, whatever. He didn't like war much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke was in the midst of it all. His Sharingan allowed him to get close, and be surrounded without any worry. He was fairing perfectly well so far, and didn't stustain any damage as of yet. He had created his own personal troop with his 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu', and all were standing their ground and taking down numerous soldiers, but merely putting a dent the sheer size of the Hokage Army.

Sanosuke is in the midst of a large melee between himself and a few dozen Hokage soldiers. He has sustained a few minor cuts and bruises, but nothing major. He pushes a soldier off of him and impales him on his sword.
SANO: "Keh... bastards! ZANZO-KEN!"
Illusions of Sanosuke appear, and he goes back to fighting off the hordes. His illusions, although harmless, occupy the attention of the troops because they are unable to find the real Sanosuke in all the confusion of the ZanzoKen illusions.

Sasuke and his copies each took on entire groups of Hokage soldiers. One of his copies had taken a hit, and disappeared. Sasuke himself, remained undamaged. Each of them used 'Katon, Karyuu Endan' blowing away large numbers of their enemy, giving themselves a very short break, before the next wave of soldiers poured at them. They each used 'Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu', taking down yet more soldiers.
Sasuke (Copy): "Their numbers... are endless."
Sasuke (Copy): "Geh... there are too many of them."
Sasuke (Copy): "Hn, we're being overwhelmed... we've lost almost half of our troops already."
Sasuke: "Just keep fighting, hold your ground."
Sasuke (Copy): "D-dammit! You're all... dead!! ....RAIKIRI!!!"
One of Sasuke's copies had activated his ultimate technique: Chidori. To top it off, it's demonic blood was starting to kick in, you could tell by the way it spoke. It's calm exterior was gone, and it was determined to kill as many soldiers it could, before going down. There was the sound of a thousand birds chirping through-out the battlefield. It tore through the soldiers as if they were paper, clearing out a huge amount. It stood in the gap it had created, panting. It had used up the rest of it's energy, the energy around it's hand was still present, but that was it.
Sasuke (Copy): "Heh *Pant* heh!! *Pant* Bastar-"
It was cut off as more Hokage troops overwhelmed it, it couldn't fight back due to it's reckless course of action. It was impaled before it could even finish it's sentence. Though, due to it's sudden death, the energy around it's hand became unstable and blew up, taking several soldiers with it.....

Wraknorian leaves, silently. Sull continues to relay Sano's words to Ryuusei, his eyes closed. In a break he opens his eyes, looks at Ryuusei. Sull: "Isn't there any easier way? Teleporting their commander out somehow, or some tactics like that? You do know about the losses the army is taking, right?" He closes his eyes again, and asks the wind about the commanders of the army. --------------------------- Di'En continues using white wind and wind blast as before, restoring health to the wounded among Gatsa's troops and keeping his enemies away from himself. Di'En (muttering): "Eh... what did I get myself into...?" He raises his hand again, and bunch of feathers seem to rush out of it as he uses the white wind again. ---------------------------- He finishes his second, and orders another. Miorix: "War, eh? How come? Thought things were peaceful... oh well, guess I'll be in, then. Well... if you're the guys I'm with... erm... the good ones, I mean. Ya know, protecting innocents, and not... ah, ya know." He raises his glass to Red, or pretty close to him, anyways.

Sano kicks off a few more before being dog-piled by a large group of about 15 Hokage troops.
WISP: 'Sano!'
SANO: "Damn you all!"
The wisp floats over and launches a Wisp Wave, knocking the soldiers off of his companion, Sanosuke.
SANO: "I'm gonna have to increase my potential battle strength...."
WISP: 'Well, if you must...'
SANO: "You seen any other way out of this?!"
WISP: 'No, not really.'
Sano begins to charge his energy, and his irises flash to gold as his hair spikes up and turns into a strange looking blue. Black tribal markings begin to form on his skin, indicating the use of his Super Sano skill.
S.SANO: "Alright... I'm at full power now..."
Super Sano leaps high into the air, and levitates for a moment, selecting his targets.
S.SANO: "....there. Sorry, Ryuusei... I hate to use your attacks like this, but whatever works, eh?"
Super Sano flies straight for the group that had dog-piled him moments ago, and before reaching them, he begins to twirl, drawing his sword and he shouts his attack.
S.SANO: "BATTOUSAI AKUMA KIRI!"
He lands hard, slicing one of the men in half, but before touching the ground, he calls another attack.
S.SANO: "KAZE GIRI KEN!"
Once he touches ground, waves of energy blades are released from his blade, travelling along the ground destroying the other troops that had attacked him earlier. He stands to his feet, and rests his sword on his shoulder.
S.SANO: "...whew....." --------------------------------------------------------------
Ryuusei's attention never turns away from the window.
RYUUSEI: "If we remove the commanders from combat, we will dishonor them. People will think they are cowards. They all know the risks of fighting in this war.... War is never a pretty thing, Sull, but sadly we must continue to fight. Don't worry though... Once this war is over, there won't be anymore."
Ryuusei says this with a seemingly over-confident tone.
Ryuusei begins to fidget out of anxiety after saying this as well.
RYUUSEI: "The losses are great, I'm sure.. There's no such thing as a perfect outcome when war is involved. But we will win." ---------------------------------------------------
Red raises his glass as well, following suit with Miorix.
RED: "Things WERE peaceful... but that Hokage guy or whatever decided he was gonna kill some people and take over..."
Red downs his drink and slams his glass on the table top, then stands up.
RED: "I'm headed out now. I'mma go try and stop these guys from winnin'. Lord Gatsa won't lose."
He once again grabs his sword and shield, and motions for Goku to follow, then looks over his shoulder to Miorix.
RED: "Nice talkin' to ya'. Catch ya' later."

Sull opens his eyes, shrugs off the bitterness at the thoughts of war, and replies to Ryuusei. Sull: "No more war? No more destruction of peaceful lives...?" He smiles sadly in disbelief. Sull: "Right now... I'll settle for the end of this one." He shrugs again, and closes his eyes. He continues telling Ryuusei what Sano said, and speaks with an intonation similar to Sano's. Sull: "Alright... I'm at full power now... ... ...there. Sorry, Ryuusei... I hate to use your attacks like this, but whatever works, eh?" He looks at Ryuusei, then closes his eyes again. Sull: "battousai akuma kiri. kaze giri ken." ----------------- Wraknorian walks around the city, trying to bring hope to the troops, assuring them of their cause, and assuring them of the existance of allies. ------------------ Miorix empties his glass and stands up. Miorix: "Eh? Lemme go with you. War sounds bad, and there's only one or two... or three of you. I could give ya a hand, ya know? I hate war, and hey!" He smiles. Miorix: "When it's over, we can celebrate our victory." He says it as if it were only a matter of time. Miorix: "Hokage you say? Rings a bell somewhere." ------------------ Di'En releases a high-power wind cut, cutting down a line of soldiers that was approaching him. Di'En (muttering): "Stay away from me..." He casts another white wind, healing a number of Gatsa's wounded, among them a wounded sorceror or two. The continuous use of the white wind is starting to put a strain on him. He looks at the approaching enemies and wipes the sweat from his face.

Sasuke and his copies draw their swords, now bring down their enemies more swiftly and efficiently than before. Each work in unision with another, making short work of the oncoming Hokage troops.
But by now, even Sasuke had sustained very minor injuries. Several cuts and bruises, but nothing serious. There were just too many.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goku glanced at Red, then back to his bowl of food. He practically inhaled it, and leapt out of his seat, hopping after Red. He glanced over his shoulder briefly, waving to Miorix. But quickly stopped, after hearing his suggestion. His eyes then moved back to Red, his arms tucked behind his head.
Goku: "So, where are we goin'?"
