Red looks at Goku dumbfounded.
RED: "......I dunno? Uhm... where's th' war at?"
Red looks around, and remembers.
RED: "Oh, the desert. We gotta get to Dead Man's Route!"
A Captain steps out of a barrack right as Red says this.
CAPTAIN: "It ain't gonna do you much good goin' to th' desert, guys. We just sent a messenger to give an order to retreat. Way things're goin', by the time the messenger arrives, they're gonna be on the losin' end of the battle....Sadly enough."
RED: "A retreat order, huh?"
CAPTAIN: "Yeh... We got word from one of ours that Hokage Shogure was spotted in the midst of the battle, slayin' our boys like there's no tomorrow... just cuttin' 'em down like weeds... we can't have that... General Ryuusei said this might happen, though... We can only hope the message gets there in time to save some troops.."
Red examines the window of the Council Room, seein' Ryuusei looking out of it.
RED: ".......alright... we'll meet the troops on the road. Let's go guys."
Red signals for Miorix and Goku to follow. ---------------------------------------------------------------
Ryuusei finally turns away from the window, and looks at Sull with a look of sympathy.
RYUUSEI: "Don't worry, Sull. Once this war is over there won't be anymore...."
The tone in his voice sounds sympathetic, but alarming at the same time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Sano continues to beat down troops, while sustaining his own injuries. After slicing a troop in half at the waist, he feels a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and pulls away to see he had been stabbed.
S.SANO: "...d-dammit! Enough of this! SOUND THE RETREAT! NOW!"
The commander looks up after knocking an enemy away, hearing the order.
COMMANDER: "SOUND THE RETREAT! MOVE OUT TROOPS! RETURN TO THE SHORE!"
?-?-?-?: "No chance!"
S.SANO: "Hn...?"
SHOGURE: "You won't get away that easily!"
Hokage Shogure, leader of the Hokage Army has appeared. Without hesitation he destroys the ships effortlessly.
S.SANO: "....H-Hokage?!"
The Commander shouts out again.
COMMANDER: "RUN FOR THE HILLS! NOW! RETURN TO LORE ASAP!"
The Gatsa Army turns and runs for Lore, obeying their orders, killing or dying by the hands of the Hokage on their way out of the battle.
S.SANO: ".....hugh..... shit!"
Super Sano concentrates hard and teleports out, taking Sasuke with him.

Di'En casts several storms at and in the way of the approaching army, gaining some time for him and the other soldiers and then moves out as quickly as he can, using Windwalk. --------------------- Sull looks at him, with a bewildered look, then closes his eyes again, and continues to give information on the situation. Sull: "They're... retreating. Someone... powerful has attacked them and destroyed the ships, so the troops are moving by foot." He opens his eyes. Sull: "..." He leaves the room. -------------------- Miorix blinks a couple of times and shakes his head. He refocuses his eyesight a little. He follows Red. Miorix: "The Hokage guy? Sounds pretty bad. Well... off we go." Wraknorian meets them a little outside of town. He sits at the side of the road. Wraknorian: "Do you consider this move wise? Running into a fleeing army? And then, you'll probably end running from the approaching army..." He gets up and moves towards them.

Super Sano appears in front of Red and the others, banged up pretty good.
S.SANO: ".......hergh..... things didn't go the way we planned.... excuse me... I'm gonna go see a medic..."
RED: "Why? I can use curatives, you know."
S.SANO: "Well make with it then... we got a bunch of troops wasted, and on their way home... you might need to fix 'em up. Here, take this with you."
Super Sano hands Red the potion Di'En had given him.
S.SANO: "I dunno if it'll help you, but if you get too tired from the Mana drain that might help give you a pick-me-up."
RED: "...hm... alright then."
Red places the potion into his satchel and walks to the main gates of Lore.
Red closes his eyes and begins to focus his mana and energy.
RED: "DRACO! I SUMMON YOU!"
A ball of white light is released from Red's hands, and falters to the ground. A quick rumbling occurs, and a large white dragon appears.
DRACO: "WHAT IS THY BIDDING, MY MASTER?"
RED: "Stay put right here. Once you see the troops with the flag of Gatsa, I want you to heal them up, ok?"
DRACO: "SO BE IT."
Draco stays put, and unmoving. -----------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes pass since Sull exited the Commerce Chamber. Ryuusei now bursts out of the door dressed in full battle armor, minus the kabuto.
RYUUSEI: "The battle will come to an end here in Lore. Spread the word for the villagers to evacuate. Now."
The Captain bows respectfully, and goes to follow his orders.

Sasuke appears next to Sano, he had two times less a of a beating, but seemed twice as exhausted. He spoke through his heavy breathing.
Sasuke: "Hey... guys...."
He barely had enough energy to lift his hand to wave, let alone stand.
Sasuke: "Oi! Wait for me, Sano...."
He leaned on his comrade, who was in much better shape than he was. His various cuts had healed up, leaving behind temporary scars. His bruises faded, but still ached. Dispite all this, he was in far worse condition than his ally.
Sasuke: "Hey.... you got anymore of those healin' dudes? I've got.... a large batch of soldiers comin' in...."
Several moments later, a huge amount of Sasuke copies teleport in: All with about a dozen soldiers each. All in all, they brought back a little less than half the remaing army. An impressive feat.
Sasuke: "... hey, I could've sworn there were alot more o' you guys when I left."
Sasuke (copy): "Several.... held off... Shogure Hokage.. an' his troops..."
Sasuke: "Oh, alright.... Kai."
He preformed a single handed hand-seal, and all of his copies vanished in a puff of smoke. His copies were in even worse condition than he was, so when he disengaged the cloning technique, the energy that was returned to him proved to be not adequate. Right before he left the battlefield along with Sano, he had released an entire army of copies, a little more than half the size of Gatsa's remaining forces involved in the battle. No wonder he was exhausted, and most were wiped out buying time for the other soldiers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenshin watches, as the soldiers prepare themselves for battle. He gets to his feet, and simply checks his blades, pleased with them, he tucks them into his sash, and joins one of the groups, where he would stay, unless told otherwise....

Red's Summon begins healing the troops, but Super Sano was nowhere to be found.
RED: "Hm? How does he expect to get healed if he ain't around to be healed?"
Ryuusei walks past Red without a word.
RED: "Uh, hey, Ryuusei.... You ok?"
RYUUSEI: "I'm fine. I'm going to put an end to this war...."
Mash leaps down from the Look-Out tower.
MASH: "No way! Notta chance! You're plannin' on usin' that Sano guy to teleport you to Hokage! Well TOUGH! This is gonna be a fair contest between us, got it? You'll wait for Shogure here in Lore, same as I am."
RYUUSEI: "No, we're going to fight them outside of Lore if possible. If you want to fight, then follow me."
He turns and faces the rejuvenated commanders.
RYUUSEI: "Assemble the troops and have them check their weapons. Put the sorcerors on the front lines, except for five. Put the remaining five in the back, and make sure the five you choose have curative spells. Red, you'll be on the front lines with Mash and me, and anyone else who cares to be on the fronts."
RED: "Ok, I'll be there. Draco, when you finish, you are dismissed."
DRACO: "SO BE IT, MASTER."
Draco heals the last few soldiers, and fades away.
RED: "Well, Goku...Miorix... looks like it's almost fightin' time..."

After being healed, Sasuke had vanished. Several soldiers watched him teleport away.
SOLDIER 1: "Hey! Where'd that ninja go?"
SOLDIER 2: "That coward, he up and left!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goku: "Huh? Oh, alright!"
The youkai just follows Red's lead, and joins him in the front.
Kenshin, on the otherhand, goes to wherever he was assigned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke reappears moments later, in the front. Dressed in full Konoha shinobi war armor. Steel shoulder gaurds, gauntlets, and leg gaurds, along with a steel helmet which also slightly protects the face, and a reinforced full face-mask. He had an extra katana, along with numerous pouches filled with kunai and shuriken....

Wraknorian joins Ryuusei in the first row, as does Miorix. Sull sits a little the left, outside of the army. Wraknorian: "Here goes another pointless waste of life..." Miorix: "Yeah, sad. Not much of alternative we have, though." Wraknorian: "I know. I still hate it..." Miorix turns to Ryuusei. Miorix: "Eh, I'm better at one-on-one. Anyone specific you need me to take out?"
Wraknorian is sitting, meditating to clear his mind before the battle.
Di'En arrives, incredibly nervous, and somewhat shaken. Di'En: "Eh... I'll be going to the back. Curative spells, you know? Oh... any last enchantments you need on your weapons? I also have one last healing potion left."

Ryuusei looks to Miorix in response. The appearance of his face is stern, and full of determination.
RYUUSEI: "Anyone specific? No, just kill them all."
Super Sano reappears. Apparently he had gone into one of the tents to prepare his battle armor. One of the Mages heals Super Sano since he missed his chance when Draco was summoned, then Super Sano approaches the front-lines.
S.SANO: "Alright, so I guess I'm leaving Hokage Shogure to you then, right Ryuusei?"
MASH: "No, I'M takin' out Shogure!"
RYUUSEI: "I can understand that you also want revenge, Mash... But my hatred goes much deeper than yours."
MASH: "Revenge? I can get that whenever I want... But I must ensure his death."
S.SANO: "....why?"
MASH: "Because if Shogure dies than his revival spell resolves completely, restoring me to life."
S.SANO: "Aren't you alive now?"
MASH: ".....no. I'm only here. But I'm not alive. If I do manage to get killed before his revival spell resolves, I will simply cease to exist entirely. But if his spell resolves then I'll be alive again."
S.SANO: "I see..."
RYUUSEI: "Then don't worry, Shogure will die."
MASH: "I know. I'm going to kill him."
Ryuusei ignores Mash's last comment and calls to his troops.
RYUUSEI: "LISTEN UP, TROOPS! THIS WILL BE OUR FINAL OFFENSIVE! WE MUST DEFEAT THEM ALL! I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE AGAINST THE KILLING, AND WOULD RATHER DO THIS DIFFERENTLY. SO WOULD I, BUT THAT IS NOT AN OPTION. YOUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS NOT TO DEFEAT THE HOKAGE ARMY, BUT YOUR MAIN OJECTIVE IS TO SURVIVE. SECOND OBJECTIVE IS TO DEFEAT THE HOKAGE. YOU HAVE YOUR ORDERS. GOOD LUCK, TROOPS!"
The Hokage Army arrives, and their General steps forward. Ryuusei steps forward as well.
GENERAL: "Hm.. so you're the Gatsa's General, eh?"
RYUUSEI: "Seems so, yes."
GENERAL: "Well, I'm here to give you ultimatums. We the Hokage Army of Hokage Shogure hereby request your unconditional surrender. We request that your leader, Morimoto Gatsa, hand over all properties and positions of authority to Hokage Shogure. How do you respond?"
RYUUSEI: "We will not surrender. Our ultimatum is that the Hokage Army surrenders unconditionally, and leaves the vicinity of Morimoto Territory. Also, we request that Hokage Shogure is handed over so he may be put to death for his crimes. How do you respond?"
GENERAL: "We will not surrender, nor will we hand over Hokage Shogure. However, as a request, I would like to keep the battle out of Lore."
RYUUSEI: "Very well. We will do our best to keep the battle out of Lore."
GENERAL: "One other thing. I would like to request Lore as shelter. If troops are injured I would like them placed there."
RYUUSEI: "...that's an odd request.... don't you think?"
GENERAL: "I don't want this war anymore than you do, and I certainly don't want to lose any of my troops. But we both know we will suffer losses. I'd like to keep Lore neutral for injured troops unable to fight. If fighting does occur in Lore, and the direct cause is my troops, you have my permission to handle it in the fashion you see fit."
RYUUSEI: "Very well. We will use Lore as a shelter for the injured. No fighting will take place there. Anyone involved with starting a battle there will be executed."
GENERAL: "So then we have an accord, correct?"
RYUUSEI: "Correct."
The two general bow respectfully to one another, and return to their own sides of the field.
RYUUSEI: "Alright... keep the battle out of Lore. If anyone is injured, take them there. While in Lore you have a verbal immunity. You won't be attacked there. However, the Hokage's General requests the same respect, and I have agreed to it. Now let's go."
Both the Hokage General and Ryuusei Amidamaru draw their swords.
RYUUSEI: ".........."
GENERAL: "..........."
GENERAL/RYUUSEI: "GO!"
The two armys push to a start and quickly collide, resuming the war, as blades cut through flesh, and spells burst humans into nothing.

Sull rocks back and forth a little. He is some distance away. Sull: "Not much choice, you say? Perhaps..." He listens to the wind, then opens his eyes, an angry glint in them. Sull: "I hate this... and I'm gonna end it..." Sull takes his wind shape, and moves through the enemy army in his wind shape as quickly as he can, using his wind fist to hit the unarmored spots... He reappears about half a minute later, after having moved through one unit and back again. He then starts using devastating waves of "a thousand cuts" on the front rows of the hokage army, taking down quite a number. Sull: "Not much choice, is there...?" He floats in the air, aside the battle, like a small porcelain doll in the air... Sull: "I'll go for the Hokage, myself, before Ryuusei and Mash. He makes me so angry..." He listens to the wind, and asks it for directions. --------------- Wraknorian stands in the front row, his robes, swords, and spells burning down any who face him in one-on-one. Due to his year-long training, he manages to avoid killing any of them, although many of them are severely wounded. The look on his face is one of utter discipline, yet a small tear rolls down his face. --------------- Miorix joins the battle next to Wraknorian, mostly defending himself and others against the approaching army. --------------- Di'En's White Wind moves through the Gatsa army, restoring some health to the wounded.

Mash interrupts before Sull takes off to find Shogure.
MASH: "Not very wise, boy. Shogure has learned Black Magick, and it's not something for you to play around with. It's best to leave that fool to me."
RYUUSEI: "I agree... It's not something you want to take lightly."
Super Sano gives his input as well.
S.SANO: "Black Magick, huh? Yeh, not something to joke around about. Last time I saw Black Magick being used by someone that powerful... well, it wasn't funny."
MASH: "Well, what th' hell're we standing around for?! Lets do some killin' so we can finish this."
Mash draws his sword, and Sano draws his. Ryuusei draws his still sheathed Harusame, and tightens his grip on the Koji-Ken.
RYUUSEI: "Let's go."
The three warriors join in the fray, killing as many troops as possible, and as quickly as possible.
Red in the back lines summons Draco once again, and the dragon begins casting Curaga multiple times.
Red pushes his way through endless troops, both Hokage and Morimoto.
He quickly draws his sword and shield as he enters the main battle, killing the Hokage troops, while watching both sides lose men.
RED: 'Such a sad state of things... man versus man... it's ridiculous....'
The slaughtering continues as both armies begin to dwindle in numbers.

Goku bashes down Hokage troops, mainly breaking bones, and rendering them useless. He did his best to keep his kills to the minimum. But, at times, it wasn't possible. For him to survive in a war, he would have to kill or be killed. As much as he wanted to deny this fact, it was true. He stays close to Red, helping him when it was needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sasuke used the Kage Bushin no Justsu, and they all drew their swords. He and his copies pushed their way through the battlefield, killing only when nessasary. Dispite that fact, they had slain numerous Hokage soldiers. A few of his copies made it their top priority to teleport the wounded into Lore. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kenshin slashed his way through the troops, bringing down a great deal of Hokage Soldiers. Then, before he knew what had happened: He was impaled with a sword through the top of his head, where the point of it comes out of his lower jaw. Everyone around him stopped fighting, and grew silent. Including the Hokage soldier who killed him. EVERYONE: Suddenly, the Hokage Soldier, whose sword Kenshin died by; had his head lopped off. Then, everyone resumed fighting.

Sull: "I won't leave him to you, you know? This war is his fault..." He sounds angry, turns around, and continues unleasching waves of wind cuts on the Hokage army, causing a lot of panic and quite a few heavily wounded and dead. Sull: "I hate this. I really do..." He still seems angry, although he himself is not sure whether at himself, the world, Hokage, or Mash, Sano and Ryuusei. He unleashes another wave of spells. ----------------------- Wraknorian has kept his attitude, and continues to avoid killing soldiers. Due to the extreme amount of care put into this, he doesn't change much for the favor of Gatsa army. ----------------------- Miorix also continues fighting in his defensive style, occasionaly using the heal spell on him and those near him. ----------------------- A very shaken Di'En continues healing the Gatsa army.

Ryuusei becomes agitated and violent, grabbing Sull by the shirt collar and lifting him from the ground.
RYUUSEI: "SHOGURE IS MINE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! I WILL NOT LET YOU INTERFERE!"
He drops Sull, and stares him down with an angry glare. Sano looks on with a surprised look.
S.SANO: "Uh... take it easy there, Ryuusei..."
Red continues bashing away at the Hokage troops, and catches up with Miorix.
RED: "Hey hey! I hope someone's havin' fun here, cuz I sure ain't."
He beats down a few more troops with the butt of his sword. They'll survive that one.
RED: "This is ridiculous! Ah well, whatever!"

Sull takes the wind shape to move away a few meters. Reappearing, he looks shaken, but still determined, and yells at Ryuusei. Sull: "Calm down!" After the shock of Ryuusei grabbing him, he pauses to return to a somewhat gracious pose again, and continues speaking. Sull: "We face one enemy, and I have my reasons, too. I won't discuss this. Attack an ally, if you must." He casts an angry and mistrusting gaze in Ryuusei's direction. He seems to have developed some self-righteous urge... Sull: "My cause is the end of this war, caused by the Hokage's death." He continues throwing spells at the flank of the Hokage army, and listens to the wind's story on Ryuusei and the Hokage. He pays no more attention to Ryuusei. -------------------- Miorix: "Fun? No, not at all. Heh, I wish this were over soon. It's a waste of lives, fun, and time for everybody. Never understood wars, me. Ya know what I mean? It's just... death, and nobody wins." A few swordblows later, he continues speaking. Miorix: "well, 'course someone does, but they don't win anythin', ya see? He continues the battle, watching out not to get hurt. -------------------- Wraknorian continues knocking out soldiers, one by one. His progress remains slow, and he takes several wounds, due to his over-eager protection of his enemys. He mutters a few curses in elven, not because of his cuts, but because of the number of dead. He feels them, dying around him... --------------------- Di'En sits down for a rest, and looks at the other healers. Di'En: "Sorry... haven't tried using the white wind on entire armys before."

Ryuusei releases Sull, and looks around with a disturbed look on his face.
RYUUSEI: "I've felt a drop in a familiar chi..... who...? Kenshin?!"
Ryuusei shoves his way past both Hokage and Morimoto Troops, and finds the fallen Kenshin.
RYUUSEI: "........."
Ryuusei sheaths his Koji-Ken, and picks up Kenshin's Akisame, pairing it with his favorite sword, Harusame. He rushes back through the crowd, and goes behind enemy lines with a look of hatred on his face, hacking through any and all Hokage troops in his path. He finally comes across Hokage Shogure.
RYUUSEI: "YOU ROTTEN BASTARD! YOU'VE CAUSED FAR TOO MUCH BLOOD-SHED!"
Mash catches up to Ryuusei quickly.
MASH: "I told you I was gonna kill him! Not you!"
Hokage Shogure looks at both warriors with a smile, signalling his troops to resume battle as normal, ignoring Ryuusei and Mash.
SHOGURE: "Hah hah hah... I get to kill two warriors, hm? An old ally, and one I raised to be an ally... interesting... is this irony?"
RYUUSEI: "Not quite... it's not ironic at all. It's over due."
MASH: "Look, I don't know what kinda problems you two have, and I don't really care. You're mine, Shogure... so don't even bother with this guy, got it?"
Shogure raises his hand and Mash is encased in a ball of Black Magick.
SHOGURE: "....cute."
He lowers hishand quickly and the ball expands and explodes, dealing minor damage to Mash. Just a small trick to piss him off.
MASH: "You ass!"
Mash readies himself, and releases his Buster Magnum point blank at Shogure. But it seems to have no effect, for Shogure had raised his arms in defense before the attack made contact.
SHOGURE: "Hm... simple tricks..."
RYUUSEI: "....time's up, Shogure.... I've looked... your forces are dwindling... We've beaten your army."
SHOGURE: "Hah hah... really? No. I am my army. These pawns are nothing but expendable 'allies', sent to fight for my amusement."
He raises his right hand chest high and examines it.
SHOGURE: "This... this one hand is all I need to destroy the entire Morimoto Army."
MASH: "....hm.. I'm not very impressed. Any fool can destroy an army of humans... humans are weak by nature... they don't possess super strength, or super speed, or anything like that. They were lucky to possess magick... and here you've gone and sold your soul for the ability to conjur Black.... fool."
RYUUSEI: "I have no idea why you would have sold yourself just to use Black... but it was something that you will regret. Nirvana has no place for soul less ones."
SHOGURE: "Ryuusei Amidamaru... you have no right to speak in such a way to me... It was YOU, Ryuusei, who became the Kyou Senshi that fateful night and onbliterated Ryoko, and killed more civilians than I can count. That was YOU. Do you believe you will go to Nirvana once you die? HAH! Ridiculous!"
RYUUSEI: "One thing is guaranteed, Shogure... whether I go to Nirvana or Oblivion upon my death.. you will never know. Because when I die, you'll be long gone."
MASH: "Oblivion awaits you, Shogure..."
RYUUSEI: "Mash... I can't defeat his Black by myself, nor can you. But together I believe we can manage it."
MASH: "Fine. Truce. But once he's dead I do as I please."
RYUUSEI: "....very well."
The two warriors raise their Chi to it's fullest, and use their rage to attack the Black user, Hokage Shogure, also known as Kuroi Senshi. After a few moments of exchanging sword swings, Shogure releases a Black spell called "Creed". Upon doing so a dome of Black Mana surrounds him and opens, sending devestating concussive force directly into Mash and Amidamaru, hurling them both backwards. The two jump to their feet quickly. Ryuusei fires his Hadouken, and Mash releases his Bakuhatsu Ha at their opponent. Shogure responds with his Kikohou, colliding with the Hadouken and Bakuhatsu Ha. The energy warfare continues until Shogure manages to over-power the two fighters, grounding them.
MASH: "....dammit! His Black is strong as hell!"
RYUUSEI: ".....very true...." --------------------------------------------------------------------
Red continues to battle the foes until he begins sensing something unnatural approaching from the group og Hokage troops.
RED: "...hn? Demons?! HEY! THEY HAVE DEMONS AMONG THEM! BE PREPARED!"
Super Sano listens attenively, and signals for Red to use the Mafuba when needed. Red nods in agreement.
S.SANO: "Wraknorian, Red says Demons are approaching. Be on your guard!"
He kicks a Hokage soldier off of Wraknorian as he speaks to him.
