TIME: March 17, 761 SR, Late Evening.
Over a month has passed since the tyrant Ryuusei Amidamaru took his seat of power after assassinating Morimoto Gatsa. Gaeasei is in a state of panic as all freedoms are becoming restricted. The soldiers of the Ryuusei Shogunate have gone from village to village, house to house, collecting any and all weapons, including Magick Tomes. "Weapons are not needed by civilians in this era. They only breed war," says Ryuusei-ou. The weapons have been amassed in Keiga, the capital of Gaeasei, and stored away. However, one Black Mage is not respecting this "peace" founded by the Daiou, and has sought to destroy it. "Peace? Rubbish! Even when forced upon humans they will continue the wars one way or another... War is desired by all! Let there be war for eternity!" The Black Mage draws magick circles and runes on the floor of his estate and begins chanting. "Jared....Jared The Black....Jared the Cruel....*chants are undiscernable*....Jared...Jared the Destroyer....*chants*" The runes begin to glow, and a vortex opens in the center. Jared The Black has been summoned....
JARED: "Speak unto me, my master. What is thy bidding?"
MAGE: "Jared the Black.... A 'peace' has been forced upon Gaeasei! It must be destroyed!"
JARED: "What causes this?"
MAGE: "Hah... that Re'talus half-breed is the cause. With his tyranny, he has forced the humans to peace! They fear him, and thus, do not fight!"
JARED: "That which you have spoken unto me... be it true?"
MAGE: "Yes, very much so... Lord Mephisto will not be pleased until Gaeasei has returned to war. If humans do not fight, then that makes more work for us!"
JARED: "So it is. However... This may work to our advantage as well. Come hither, and listen well to mine words."
MAGE: "Speak, Jared.."
JARED: "If the humans refuse to resist, then their extinction mayhaps be nigh. As we conquer them, and they do not resist, we shall conquer them swiftly."
MAGE: "Hm....do you think it will work that way?"
JARED: "It has merit. Who would be the fool to oppose a King as fearful as the Re'talus whelp?"
MAGE: "But what of the Re'talus himself?"
JARED: "...he is but a half-breed. His existence matters not to me. He will not interfere, nor shall any other."
MAGE: "Why do you think that?"
JARED: "The Re'talus is too corrupt in his mind. He thinks only of peace. As such he is far occupied. His shogun, the Horikal whelp.... he sits by his master's hand like a loyal dog to his owner. Only a handful would oppose us."
MAGE: "This handful you speak of... there are many who have managed to best our clans before..."
JARED: "They have yet to face Jared the Black."

*Deep with in the Forest of gaesei a portal opens up. with a tall figure walking out of it.FrostXero after a long absence from geasei to resolve the problems in his homeland of the forbidden realm walks into geasei.*
FrostXero: Whoo glad to be back!
*Frost stretches back his arms*
FrostXero: Last time I was here it was to help Ryuusei out. Hmm I wonder where that guy is? or any of the others.....
*Frost looks around at the greenery which has grown older since his last visit.He then bends down ant picks up some soil and rubs it on his hands. and gets back up.*
FrostXero: Well looks like it's time to go. I'll go see Geese hell know what to do.
*As frost starts to walk a breeze of bad wind passes by blowing his trench coat in the wind.*
FrostXero:Hmm that didn't feel good.
*Frost starts his walk to ryoko*

After recent events: following the war, bringing about the end of the Prosperity era, and birth of the Opression; Sasuke refused to remain, he would do no good here, not anymore. His friends... no, his brothers. To him, they were no longer alive. The Ryuusei and Sanosuke he knew, were no more. All he could hope for is that they would come to their senses, and soon. But remaining in the region, was no longer the safest option for him. It wasn't like he didn't want to do anything about it, he couldn't. With the previous bond he had with the two, he couldn't bring himself to take action. Even if he did, he wasn't strong enough to do much. And so, Sasuke bid farewell to his allies, and made his departure.
Just about half a month after the departure of the ninja, another one made his way into the region. The stranger wore an old battered tan cloak. Judging by his poor appearance, he had travelled from very far away. Strapped to his back, was a very slim and elegant looking object that was hidden and bound by cloth. The lower portion of his face was shielded by the cloak, his messy golden hair waved about in the wind.
He sat down at the side of the path, scratching his head. Sighing, he pulled out a piece of paper and a canteen. He merely glanced at the piece of paper, before taking a large gulp from his canteen. Then studied the paper with more interest.
LINK: "Hn, how th' hell did he expect me to find DeLuce's house... if I dunno where he lives? He acts as if I know where Ryouko is. Besides, the people around this place don't seem too friendly...."

The tavern inside of Ryouko bustles with activity as members of the Ryuusei Shogunate badger a young man.
GUARD: "Young punk! Hand it over! You know th' deal! No weapons allowed by civilians!"
A drunken youth rises to his feet and slams his fist hard into the soldier's jaw. A crack can be heard, indicating a broken bone. The other three guards draw their weapons on the drunkard, and lunge at him. Their swords impale deeply, but instead of a cry of pain, laughter echoes through the tavern's walls.
TEPES: "Heh heh... That was gooooood.... Try it again."
The guards withdraw their swords from the flesh of the odd, yet sinister man standing in their path.
GUARD2: "...m-move it, you! W-we have our orders!"
TEPES: "...orders? So you're a bartender then? Only bartenders complete orders here... everyone else dies trying."
Tepes gives a huge grin, as the guards back down in fright.
RED: ".....*hic*....neh... let 'em have it... I don't care...."
TEPES: "...Very well, my Master."
One of the guards reaches down to retrieve Red's sword, Crusher. Before his hand grasps the hilt, a large blunt object strikes him over the head.
GUARD2: "OW! What th'!"
Red is standing with his mirror shield in hand. He had bashed the guard with it.
RED: "....I uh...I changed my *hic* mind."
GUARD3: "...Fine! We'll take it by for-"
His words are cut off as Tepes stands in the way of his proceeding.
TEPES: "...Heh...take it by...?"
GUARD3: "....................................we have to go now."
The three guards move quickly to escape the clutches of the very sinister and very creepy man standing beside Red.
RED: "....where'd they' go?"
TEPES: "....they went home to cry."

Link finally wanders his way into Ryouko. Unfortunately, he bumps into members of the Ryuusei Shogunate, who were just leaving the tavern.
GAURD: "Hey! Watch where you're going, kid!"
GAURD 2: "Wait a minute, what's that one you got there?"
GAURD 3: "You ain't from around here are you, well there ain't no weapons allowed in these parts, so fork it over!"
Link just stared at the people like they were crazy. Then, as soon as one of them lunged for his sword, he did a quick sweep and punch to the gut. The man was on the ground instantly, unconcious. He pulled off his makeshift cloak, and dropped it on the unconcious gaurd. The gaurds paused for a moment, shocked to see their leader swatted aside so easily, by a child no less. Convinced they had horrible luck, they picked up their fallen comrade and hauled him away. The kid just watched, then headed into the Tavern. He plopped down in the chair next to Red, unaware of who he was.
Goku had just watched the gaurds flee, not having to help. He knew Tepes could handle it no sweat. So, he turned back to his food. He glanced at Link briefly, before munching on his meal once more.

Red and Tepes look over at the newcomer. The two just stare at him.
RED: "Who...th' f-....uh...who're you?"
TEPES: "....so, I take it the Shogunate's passed you by. How quaint."
Tepes seats himself at a table a few feet from Red and Goku. Without awaiting a reply, Red orders another round and quickly begins his search for the bottom of the liquor bottle.

LINK: "Eh? Wha-...."
The boy just glances over at the drunkard, an annoyed expression visible in his features. But it fades in a matter of seconds, and changes to surprise.
LINK: ".... Red. Red DeLuce?"
Link turns toward his old friend. Goku glances from his food at the stranger, then briefly at Tepes, before looking back at the stranger. He looks confused, yet curious. He glances over at DeLuce.
GOKU: "Do you know him, Red-sama?"

Red looks the boy over.
RED: "..............nope."
He returns his attention to his drink(...s), and minds his own business. Tepes hasn't looked up since he sat down. He sits there with his feet up on the table, and his hat pulled over his eyes. But everyone knows he's not sleeping.
CLERK: "...'ey... youse hadda nuff, joonya'... pack up an' git out, na'...I gonna be a'closin' h'yuh shortly...hear?"
The clerk signals for the group to vamoose.
Red grudgingly hoists his sword and shield up and signals for Tepes and Goku to follow. Although Tepes didn't see the signal visually, he got up and followed Red out.
RED: "...Tepes... grab th' bottle for me?"
Tepes summons the bottle of liquor to him via telekinesis.
The two walk out the door, expecting Goku to follow.

Di'En is traveling with a small group of soldiers from the Ryuusei Shogunate, traveling a route near Dead Man's Route. They are approached by a tall figure in black armor, with several weapons strapped to his side and back. As he comes within hearing range, the captain starts to yell at him.
Captain: "Hey, you! Give me those weapons, now!" Soldier 1: "He's not reacting." Captain: "Well, let's try again in a minute, maybe he's hard o' hearin', or somethin'.
The group of soldiers and the armored warrior slowly appraoch each other. They are only about 25m apart, and the armored warrior has stopped moving.
Captain: "Okay.... now drop your weapons!"
The man just smiles, and takes his sword from his back. A second later the captain's head rolls across the floor. Di'En and the other soldiers look at him in horror. Some of the other soldiers grab their weapons, and are cut down almost instantly... Di'En begins chanting, and a small fireball leaves his imitation staff, hitting Sylf in the chest, knocking him back for a second. Di'En has just made his last mistake. Once again, Sylf's two-handed Shadowbolt strikes at his enemys. Di'en tries to protect himself with the imitation staff, but it is destroyed, and the stored magick is set free. A large explosion of black magick kills the remaining soldiers, as well as Di'En, who was already wounded by Sylf's attack. Sylf seems to have survived the explosion, although he is surprised that the imbecile had black magick.
Sylf: "Idiots." ------------------- Sull is sitting atop Tetsuyama, and is depressed. Sull: "He said he'd end war..." He shakes his head. Sull: "But... this isn't what I meant. Or did I...?" He stands up, and starts walking around a bit, trying to get clear thoughts again. ------------------- Wraknorian has retreated. He is also clueless, not sure what to make of this. He has avoided the Ryuusei Shogunate the best he could, as he is not willing to give up his weapon. After all, the only people left with weapons now are the Ryuusei Shogunate, and those hiding from it, some of them like him, but for sure, many of them much unlike him, with evil intents. ------------------- Miorix is sitting in a tavern, and still doesn't understand why he shouldn't keep his weapons. He's also not about to enlist in an army, and has had more than one encounter with the Ryuusei Shogunate already. He walks into Ryouko...

Frostxero: Ahh there it is...Hmm Ryouko looks strange......
*Frost walks into Ryouko looking of how the place has changed when he sees a poster on the wall. he then starts laughing at what he just read*
FrostXero: AHAHAH Ryuusei's in charge of this place now! Man so I guess whats why it looks different!
*Just then a solders form the Ryuusei Shogunate approach the laughing FrostXero.*
Guard Capitan:You find something funny about our new ruler who brought in this era of peace.
FrostXero: Huh
*Frost turns around to see the the guard with his solders.*
FrostXero :Hmm no but who are you guys?
Guard Capitan: We are the Ryuusei Shogunate. Lord Ryuusei put us in charge of taking all weapons from the people to insure peace.
Solider 1: Yes and that large sword around your waist is violating our law hand it over!
FrostXero: wha? Sorry people no can do! this sword is special to me!
Solider 2: You heard him! Give us the sword or well take it by force.
FrostXero: Heh then bring it!
*At once all the solider rushed at Frost. Only to be blown away by Frost's life force barrier*
FrostXero:What who is this guy!
FrostXero: Xero, I am FrostXero of the Elder god and Geese Mishima dojo's!
Solider 3: He's just like those others who came!
Solider 2: lets get out of here!
*Solider's 2 and 3 run for their lives as 1 and the Capitan stays.*
Guard Capitan: You don't scare us Boy!
FrostXero:Then make another run more my Marasume!
Solider 1:AGHHHHH!!!!
*The solider runs toward frost with sword drawn*
FrostXero: Heh, BULLET SHOT!
*Frost bends his right leg and and lifts up his left giving a hellish kick to the solider's abdomen, Frost's foot can be seen nearly coming out the solider's back but no penetration was made. The solider drops his sword and falls to the ground.*
FrostXero: Hell be awake in about 2 hours.
Guard capitain: I must tell the force about this! Ryouko has been taken over by these rebels!
*The capitain runs in the same path solider 2 and 3 ran*
FrostXero :Hmm. Others? I gotta find Geese to see whats going on here.
*Frost continues to walk to the dojo.*

Link stares at Red, wondering if he was really that drunk. He follows after Red, as the group begins to leave the tavern. He waves his arms around, trying to get his point acrossed;
LINK: "It's me. Link! Remember?"
--------------------------------------------------------
Goku follows Red and Tepes out of the Tavern. He just watches as the boy becomes very animated. He finds it funny for reasons unknown, and begins to laugh. He continues to walk along with Red and Tepes, but glances back at Link following them.

Red stares at the slightly younger teen.
RED: "...Dink?...no...Blink?....uhm....what?"
TEPES: "Link."
RED: "...Hm? Oh, right. Klink."
TEPES: "No...."
RED: "Well....who?"
TEPES: "....boy. Come back tomorrow, before he gets wasted. If that is an inconvenience, you are more than welcome to follow us to Master's 'glorious estate'."
His sarcasm was detectable, but his invitation was legit.

GOKU: "Yeah, you can come over to our house."
The youkai offered, as well. Then, turned around and began to lead the way back to their place. He just trots along, without care.
LINK: "Well... I suppose, if it's alright, I'll tag along. Until Red sobers up, atleast...."
So, the youth just follows the group, he says nothing more.

Elsewhere, in the lower regions of Yagyu, the Mage and Jared the Black commune.
MAGE: "So tell me Jared... how do you intend to break this peace that has befallen Gaeasei?"
JARED: "I will share my knowledge unto the people, as a false prophet. They will heed my words well."
MAGE: "How do you know?"
JARED: "Because my words will be flavored with praises to their gods, and tainted with curses for our lord Mephisto."
MAGE: "Mephisto will not be pleased."
JARED: "Oh? Nay. Mephisto is the priest of lies. His will is evil, and nothing more. My deceit is for the purpose of evil."
MAGE: "What sort of prophecies will you behold?"
JARED: "Many great things for the humans to build their dreams upon. I will bring forth the location of Tolgrim."
MAGE: "Tolgrim?"
JARED: "Yes. Tolgrim. The most evil of weapons. I will glorify the weapon, claiming it to be the Legendary sword."
MAGE: "What good will that do? The Legendary weapon has been lost for eons. No one would believe you if you claim to have found it."
JARED: "Yes. Because the Tolgrim has been locked away in one of the most sinister buildings in Gaeasei. Genzon-Tô."
MAGE: "Hah! No one will be foolish enough to enter THAT Tower. It's madness!"
JARED: "Yes, but once they learn of the 'legendary' Tolgrim resting inside it's wicked walls, the humans will jump at the chance to be heroic."
MAGE: "Hm....Where will you annouce this weapon?"
JARED: "I will begin in Ryouko. I will take word of the Tolgrim there, and 'prophesize' the downfall of Mephisto by the Tolgrim's blade."
MAGE: "Hm... and then?"
JARED: "Once the Tolgrim has been removed from the Genzon-Tô, it will reveal itself to the world, and they will see what a foolish mistake they have made. Then I, Jared the Black, top general of Mephisto, will take up that acursed blade and begin my unholy havoc on Gaeasei."
MAGE: "Go to it, Jared the Black. Bring back good word."
JARED: "So I shall."
Jared vanished from the Mage's estate in Yagyu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The hours have passed by slowly as all but Tepes sleep. Morning comes quickly to those who slept, but to Tepes it seemed like an eternity.
TEPES: "So you are awake.... good."
RED: "*yawn*...Yeh yeh... I'm up."
TEPES: "We have company."
RED: "...oh?"
TEPES: "Yes."
Tepes begins to phase out of the room, headed for his own sanctuary.
TEPES: "His name is Link."
Tepes is gone.
RED: "...Link? .....Nah... couldn't be. I ain't seen that guy in a coupla' years now, it seems....hm..."
Red sits in his chair at the table awaiting his breakfast.
RED: "....................."
Red gathers his weapons and heads to the tavern for breakfast, having realized he doesn't know how to cook.
RED: "HEY! GOKU! C'MON! WE GOTTA GET SOME BREAKFA~AST!"
