Wraknorian activates his fire dodge, increasing his movement speed. He focuses on dodging the water attacks, and evades almost all, as well as some of the dark. He is beaten down, but pulls himself up again, almost instantly. He then uses the ash cloud, impairing on the vision of the demons, and starts swinging his blade wildly, as he is surrounded by enemys. He doesn't speak, and tries to hide his location within the ash cloud from his enemys. He has little hope of winning this, but hopes that some of the Gatsa troops, or one of his allies will help him. ------------------- Di'En reaches Lore, and looks around for someone who can restore his mana. ------------------- Miorix lies on the ground when the white wind moves over him. He is restored to consciousness, but little more. With some effort, he sits up, and watches Wraknorian be attacked, but can't do anything. Miorix: "...what now?" -------------------- Sull takes a physical form again, and smiles a weak smile at being released from the sphere. Sull: "What now? You saw what he did to my magicks..." He changes the winds around him, creating a field of swirling air that protects him from physical attacks.

Back in Lore, Red regains consciousness, and sees the other Morimoto troops injured.
RED: "Egh... perfect..."
He pulls himself to his feet.
RED: "Hm.... "
Red closes his eyes, and places his hands out in front of him, and begins chanting. A ball of light forms in front of him, and floats there.
RED: "Go to the battle out there, and defend the Morimoto troops, ok?"
BALL: "Yes."
The swirling ball of light finds its way to the battle, and lands in front of Wraknorian. A bright flash occurs, and the ball of light has now changed into an elderly man sitting behind a podium with a gavel in his hand. This is Red's Ultimate Summon, Judge.
JUDGE: "Ye who standeth trial before me..."
He raises his gavel.
JUDGE: "I FIND YE GUILTY!"
The gavel strikes and the demons are bombarded by attacks of all elements in succession. Many of the demons are killed, or injured too far to continue combat, but a small number survive intact. The Judge vanishes and returns to the Planes.
Back in Lore, Red uses his Curaga to heal the troops back up, uncluding Sano. He regains consciousness as well, and sits up.
SANO: "...how're things looking?"
RED: "...hm... I'd say we've lost more than half of our troops. Shogure's lost maybe a third of his... Yeh, we're on th' losin' end."
SANO: "....I see..."
He raises to his feet, and teleports back to the battle using his Shunkan Idou. Once Sano leaves, Red spots Di'En wandering about in search of a mana restorative. He approaches him, and holds out a vial.
RED: "Here ya' go... This is Green Water, it's a Mana restorative....but it'll cost ya'." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryuusei signals Mash over, and the two walk over and huddle around Sull.
MASH: "You must have a plan."
RYUUSEI: "...no. I just figured if three of us put our heads together we can come up with something."
MASH: "Well, magick obviously won't work...."
RYUUSEI: "Well, the physical attacks didn't work to well either."
MASH: "Yeh, but you did cut him though."
RYUUSEI: "...Hm....I have an idea... Sull. I'm going to ned your help for this."
Ryuusei hands a small stack of the mamorifuda talismans to Sull.
RYUUSEI: "Take those. Make a tornado or something to surround Shogure, but make CERTAIN those talismans are in the funnel with Shogure. That way they can attach themselves to him."
MASH: "..why so many?"
RYUUSEI: "Well, he has barriers and stuff too... so I figured one lands on the barrier, dispels it, the next lands on him, cancels his magick."
MASH: "Oh, I see..... then we go in and beat th' hell out of him, right?"
RYUUSEI: "Well, assuming this works, something like that."

Goku stands around the entrance of Lore, trying to catch his breath before diving back into the battle.
GOKU: "Ehn... I should've gotten healed up, atleast a little before trying to get back in...."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The entire demon group was taken out, most unconcious and injured, with few deaths. But Setsuna's side also suffered losses, a third of Sasuke's copies had dispelled, leaving just one or two extremely weary ones. Setsuna glanced over at them, using his 'Kai' technique, he dispells the copies. He turns towards more of the demons, and resumes his attack. Chakra starts to gather in his hand, he was slowly activating the Chidori, bit by bit. So he wouldn't have to pause to charge it, making himself vulnerable to attack. He cuts through several demons, without much hesitation, nor any trouble. Then, he encountered several larger ones, having to evade their swings, and having alot less opportunities to strike.
SETSUNA: "... dammit."

Sull nods, thinks a moment, and smiles. Sull: "These have gotta be useful. Well... no problem. Watch his barriers fall." He throws several of the Mamorifuda talismans into the air, and creates a tornado around them and Shogure, the Tornado quickly getting smaller and smaller, moving the talismans in towards him. Three of those he kept, he now sends at Shogure, who is presumably busy with the tornado, creating a strong gust of wind that moves them at him quicker than an arrow. He smiles, knowing that even if this fails, he has a few more possibilities. ----------------- Di'En: "What? Pay? I'm here as a mercenary healer. You want me to..." He hesitates. Di'En: "I guess. How much is it?" His face has a pained look, as he thinks of paying other people, instead of being paid. His face lightens up as he has an idea. Di'En: "How about... I enchant your weapon or armor in exchange?" While waiting for an answer, he remembers the magick he stored in his imitation staff. Di'En: "I still have some Black Magick... How desperate is the situation?" ------------------- Wraknorian (whispers): "Impressive... a very impressive summons." He contines cutting his way through the ash cloud, taking out and wounding the demons stupid enough to stay inside this field. His speed is still high, so the demons have trouble tracking him. ------------------ Miorix gets up, and walks over to Setsuna. Slowly.

Red smirks, and holds his hand out.
RED: "Nuh uh... I only accept gold."
The soldiers that Di'En had sold items to watch the situation with looks of amusement on their faces.
RED: "Sorry... just business, right?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sano appears within Wraknorian's field, and steps just out of bounds, and begins to hurl some of the demons into the field to be cut down by Wraknorian. He impales one more standing in front of him, and continues to defeat the demon hordes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As expected, Shogure raises Barrier after Barrier until finally the other three talismans find an opening between Barrier-castings, and attach themselves to Shogure.
SHOGURE: ".....WHAT?!"
Shogure tears at the talismans, but to no avail.
RYUUSEI: "Oh.... right. Only I can remove those talismans."
SHOGURE: "FOOL!"
Shogure attempts to raise his Chi to the limit, to perform his Black Magick. His Chi rises quickly, and his body swells with ultimate power. And then nothing.
SHOGURE: "....th' hell?!"
RYUUSEI: "You are no longer allowed to exploit the Black Magick. Magick is no longer an option of yours."
MASH: "Time's up, Shogure."
SHOGURE: "Impossible!"
Shogure draws his sword, ready for melee combat, but Ryuusei sheathes his blades, and places himself into a new stance.
SHOGURE: "....HN?!"
RYUUSEI: ".....CHÔ....."
SHOGURE: "....no-not that....."
RYUUSEI: ".....HA...."
MASH: "Heh...."
Mash places his hands out in front of him.
MASH: "My Buster Magnum will blast right through you!"
RYUUSEI: "....DOU...."
MASH: "BUSTER MAGNUM!"
RYUUSEI: "KE~EN!"
The Chô Hadouken and the Buster Magnum fly at Shogure full speed. Shogure puts his hands in front of him and manages to catch the attacks in hand.
SHOGURE: "......NAAAAH!!!! I....WON'T... LET....YOU...DEFEAT ME!"
The combined attacks hold Shogure at bay.
RYUUSEI: "Sull! Give us a hand here! This is the final offensive!"

Sull: "He has no magick left...?" He smiles, draws up his entire energy. Sull: "Well... how about we try this one again?" Once again, air layers are moved from within miles, and another Implosion, even more powerful than the last, slams down on Shogure. ------------------ Di'En: "Yeah, I guess. How much is it?" He takes a bag of coins from his side. Di'En: "Oh, and while we're at it, can I interest you in some high-quality enchantments?" ------------------- Wraknorian continues his fight with the demons. He is weary, but refuses to be beaten, and continues fighting. Miorix lacks this discipline, and only slowly regains his stamina.

The implosion, Chô Hadouken and Buster Magnum over-power Shogure, and consume him entirely. SHOGURE: " ...this... cannot... be....!" With a bright flash, Shogure's life is gone. His life-less body falls to the ground. Two more flashes of light radiate from his remains, and then his body disintergrates. Upon the death of Shogure, his spell over Mash resolves, and life is restored to him. Ryuusei looks over to his partners with a smile on his face. It's been awhile since he'd managed to smile. He sees Mash walking away. RYUUSEI: "Where are you going? We've won." MASH: "...what's the point in sticking around? Shogure's dead now. What's left to see? I'm going to go train myself, and become stronger. One day, I will defeat you, Ryuusei Amidamaru." RYUUSEI: "Why do you despise me so much?" MASH: "Not you. Your power. It's humiliating. The power of a half-breed exceeds the power of a pure-bred. It's a joke, I know it is. And one day I'll prove it." Mash hoists his sword over his shoulder and disappears over the horizon. RYUUSEI: ".........." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Red tosses Di'En the vial. RED: "I don't want'cher money. Go ahead and take it." Red heads back to the tavern to..."heal up". ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Back on the battlefield, the demons and Hokage troops stop suddenly. SANO: "........? What's this?" DEMON: "......HM. I GUESS I'LL GO HOME NOW." SANO: The demons depart, heading back to their home in Oblivion. The remainder of the Hokage Troops just continue to stand there, doing nothing at all. Sano walks over to one of the troops, and touches the troop's shoulder. It turns into a pile of ash, and falls to the ground. SANO: "....so.. they were never really human at all...." He stops a demon as he is leaving. SANO: "Why did you stop?" DEMON: "Dead is Shogure.... Need for fighting, there is not." SANO: "So what will you do now?" DEMON: "Mhm...Go home I will." The demon leaves, following the rest back to Oblivion. SANO: "...So... Shogure was beaten.... excellent." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hours later, the Morimoto Army returns to Lore, and at a celebration ceremony, Morimoto Gatsa speaks to his troops.
GATSA: "My army! Listen! We have lost many a soldier... But do not mourn their loss. Rather, remember them as heroes who fought for a cause! My soldiers, there will always be war, so you must be prepared at all times!"
Ryuusei Amidamaru and Horikawa Sanosuke are standing behind Morimoto, looking over the crowds of soldiers.
GATSA: "These two men have led you to victory! But even without them I feel we would have won!"
GATSA: "My troops! It saddens me greatly to say there will never be true peace... War is natural to humans..."
Gatsa looks over at Ryuusei and Sanosuke, then back to his troops.
GATSA: "But as such, we must band together to end any threat to our existance!"
The troops give a cheer.
GATSA: "We can defeat anyone who opposes us, but we do not look for trouble! We fight for the good of all people, but most importantly, we fight for the existance of all!"
The troops cheer harder and louder. The Commander joins Ryuusei and Horikawa on the stage behind Morimoto.
GATSA: "Remember this, soldiers! We do not fight for ourselves! We fight for the young, the old, the men and the women of Gaeasei! And so we must continue this struggle for all times!"
The troops begin to cheer until all other sound is inaudible. A huge smile of victory is etched on Morimoto Gatsa's face. He knows his troops trust him now. Trust is something that all Daiou's should have with their troops. But suddenly, a silence sweeps over the crowd.
RED: ".......?"
Red looks up to Morimoto from the crowd below, and sees the blade of a sword imapled through his throat. Oddly, the crowd of troops cheer even harder now. Red looks up the blade slowly, afraid of what he might see. On the opposite end of that sword is Ryuusei Amidamaru, with a look of hatred on his face. Horikawa Sanosuke and the Commander are at his side.
GATSA: "...A....mi...da....ma...----!"
The blade withdraws from his throat, and he falls to his knees, and then off of the stage. Morimoto Gatsa has been assassinated. Ryuusei takes the podium now.
RYUUSEI: "LISTEN UP, ALL! REMEMBER THIS! TRUE PEACE CAN BE OBTAINED ONLY THROUGH TOTAL OPPRESSION! THE WORLD MUST BE RULED WITH AN IRON FIST SO NONE DARE TO OPPOSE US!"
The troops cheer louder, raising their swords to the air in approval. The citizens or Lore retreat to their houses in fear. Red is dumbfounded by the words coming from the mouth of his once great ally.
Amidamaru turns and leaves the stage, followed closely by Sanosuke, and the Commander. The former-Morimoto Troops follow him.
The Prosperity Era has ended. The year is 761 SR, the dawn of the Oppression Era.
~THE END~
