Author's note: This somewhat follows the story of Warriors Orochi from the Sengoku point of view. Once Nobunaga reaches the resistance, the story becomes completely original. The story mainly follows Nobunaga but will still show the 3 kingdoms every once in a while. Other than that… Once Orez comes into the story, the story will change to a 1st person point of view. Other than that… Yeah… Enjoy the first Warriors Orochi fan fic ever!!!

Chapter 1

The Rise of the Resistance

A man dressed in all black armor sat on a seat in the middle of many troops. He had a black cape and all black armor. He looked kind of demonic. He raised his hand and silenced the troops. He began to speak. "Listen, this man thinks that he is the ultimate demon king. He combined two worlds together to test his might. I am the only Demon King allowed to exist. He is without a doubt powerful but we can defeat him if we work together. We have spotted a resistance army and plan to go support them in their fight against Orochi. I, Nobunaga Oda, shall raise an army against the "Serpent King" and destroy his little world. Let's go destroy their puny force!!!" The soldiers stated to cheer.

A general of Nobunaga stepped up and walked over to him. He leaned towards Nobunaga and whispered. "Lord Nobunaga, There are a few generals that are already fighting the Orochi army. Shall we assist them immediately or should we wait and attack the Orochi army after the resistance is crushed?"

"Mitsuhide, you should know by now that I am going to go and assist them. The Orochi army is massive and without a decent sized army, we will be obliterated." Mitsuhide looked at Nobunaga in shock.

"Yes my lord, right away." Mitsuhide walked away to let the army know what they were doing.

(At the battlefield)

"I don't think that I can last anymore. But I am the son of the legendary god of war…" The man in green armor dropped on his knees. "Well, I fought a good fight…" The enemy soldier raised his sword. His skin was extremely pale. He was definitely a mix between a snake and human. Nobunaga rode up and jumped off his horse striking the soldier down. "Who… who are you?"

"Live! Fight!" Nobunaga jumped back on his horse and rode away.

"Whoever you are, thanks." The man stood up and ran towards a big castle.

"Nobunaga, where were you? We were waiting before we could attack." A man with yellow armor took a step forward. "Shall we commence the attack now?"

"Do not give them a chance to breath. All units, forward! Mitsuhide, you head north. Hideyoshi, go east." The man in yellow armor, Hideyoshi, led his troops east. A man in blue clothes, Mitsuhide, led his troops north. "Second wave, wait until the enemies at the entrance of the defense bases in the north and east are destroyed, then advance! I will set out to ambush the enemies at their supply storehouse." Nobunaga left the area and charged to the east and bypassed the soldiers who were busy with Hideyoshi.

(Resistance Castle)

"Hold out! We can win this but we have to survive the enemy attack first before we counterattack!" An older warrior wielding a bow and sword lunged into battle next to his allies. He started to strike down the enemies which raised his ally's moral. "For the glory of Shu!" Several snake warriors came at him. He jumped over the strikes and fired 5 arrows at once. "What did I tell you? Fear the might of the Tiger General Huang Zhong of Shu!"

"Lord Huang Zhong, what how long do you intend on surviving our repetitive attacks?" A former Shu servant stepped forward from behind the snake warriors. "You should know that my strategies can not be surpassed easily. My strategies unparallel."

"Lord… Zhuge Liang… What are you doing serving Orochi?!?"

"You know that since Liu Bei's death there is no reason to continue fighting him. I am simply making the logical choice here. You should too." He waited to see Huang Zhong's reaction. Huang Zhong looked stunned.

"I… don't know… what to do…"

"I will let you think things through. Come to me with your answer. I will wait outside this castle." Zhuge Liang turned around and walked outside the castle. Huang Zhong turned and walked into the innermost part of the castle.

"Lord Huang Zhong?!? Brave troops of Shu, fight for your lives! Help us to restore the kingdom of Shu to greatness!" 'I must go see what happened with Huang Zhong but… I can't leave the troops or moral will drop. Damn! I have to clear the area of enemies first.' Guan Ping pressed on.

(Somewhere among enemy ranks)

"My lord, enemies have appeared at our supply storehouse. The set fire to the storehouse after stealing the food." A man with blood red eyes and midnight black hair stated.

"Hmm… Go reclaim the storehouse." Zhuge Liang said.

"But sir… there is no more reason to claim it since the food is gone."

"Yes but… it is a very strategic location. Reclaim it!"

"Of course, your intellect knows no bound my lord." The man ran off to issue the orders to the snake generals in the northeast area.

(Supply storehouse)

"Run!" The enemies started to flee after Nobunaga set it aflame.

"That's it. Run from the Demon King. There is no where you can go to escape my wrath. As long as you serve Orochi, you will not earn any respect from me." Nobunaga struck down several more fleeing enemies. "3... 2... 1... No more soldiers to fight. Put out the flames and bring our supplies over here."

"But sir-"

"No buts! Bring our supplies here! We won't lose the supplies. I shall be here until Hideyoshi rendezvous with me here." The soldier ran off to spread the words and get the supplies.

"Charge!" The snake general shouted. The snake soldiers charged toward the supply base. "Don't let a single soldier live!!!"

"I was waiting for you to arrive. Come; try to take on the Demon King!" All the soldiers surrounded the base and commenced the attack. Nobunaga ran towards the southern gate of the supply base. He closed the northern gate and started to fight with the soldiers against the snake beasts. "Ha ha ha. Come and fight me. Show me your strength." He created a purple ball of darkness and shot it forth destroying countless rows of troops. He enveloped his sword in darkness and started to strike the enemies down.

(Guan Ping's location)

"Come on! Hold out! Reinforcements are bound to arrive! Just keep fighting!" Guan Ping jumped out of the way of one of the soldier's strikes. He smashed the floor with his great sword and caused several soldiers to lose their balance and fall to the floor. "Keep it up!" The moral of Guan Ping's unit was beginning to fall. Several more of Guan Ping's soldiers dropped dead.

"My lord, Huang Zhong is thinking of surrendering to the Orochi army. He met with Zhuge Liang on the battlefield. Zhuge Liang tried to talk him into surrendering and joining the enemy. Now his unit isn't moving at all. The soldiers are fighting to stay alive but he is sitting in the inner castle deciding whether he should defect or not."

"I have to stop him. First I must finish these troops. Find any free generals and tell them to talk with Huang Zhong." The messenger ran off to fulfill his mission. Guan Ping continued to fight the soldiers. 'He'd better not defect. He's been around long enough to know how to lead an army better than any other officers in this army.'

(Mitsuhide's position)

"Lord Nobunaga is without a doubt, a great man. But his methods of achieving his goals are unorthodox. He told us to go help the resistance army instead of doing the wise thing and attacking the Orochi Army after they were weak from defeating the resistance. I guess it is smart. We do need all the troops and officers we can get." Mitsuhide struck down the last few soldiers near him. "Press forward!" He led his troops to the entrance of the castle. There were green flags over the entrance of the castle. "This must be the Shu resistance army." He watched as the soldiers of Shu bravely fought the snake warriors. 'They fight brave even in these unfair conditions. This is the southern entrance of the castle though. If I wipe out the enemies from here and Hideyoshi wipes out the enemies from the east entrance, all of us can rendezvous with the Shu forces at the western gate.' "Help out our new allies! Charge the snake demons!" Mitsuhide led his troops against the snake warriors. The Shu forces moral was rising at the sight of allies. After countless more casualties, the snakes fled the area. One of the snake generals started to retreat with the remaining soldiers. "Ambush unit, strike them down!" Five groups of ten musketeers per group showed up from the hills. The musketeers open fired on the retreating enemies killing all remaining snake warriors.

"Who are you, brave warrior?" A Shu officer stepped forward. He was in a heavy, green armor. "I am Liao Hua, a general of the once powerful Shu kingdom."

"I am Mitsuhide Akechi. I am here on orders of my lord, Nobunaga Oda, to help out the resistance army." He smiled just a little. "I must say, for such a small castle and army, you held your own pretty well."

"Thank you. Let me show you into the castle." Liao Hua led Mitsuhide and the soldiers into the castle. The gate closed after all the soldiers were in. "Follow me; we could use your help anyway." Liao Hua began to explain the situation. "Here's the problem…"

(Hideyoshi's location)

"Is that… Lord Nobunaga?!? Come, we must help him!" Hideyoshi led his troops towards Nobunaga to help Nobunaga protect the supplies. "Lord Nobunaga, why are you here? You should be protecting the main camp."

"And what fun would that be for me? I am here to fight, just the same as you." Nobunaga finished his words with a lightning fast slash towards the inside of the supplies, killing the last remaining enemies. "On to the castle." Nobunaga started to lead the troops out of the base.

"Wait! Lord Nobunaga, we just secured this base. Shouldn't we make sure that it will stay secured? We wouldn't want to lose our supplies now would we?"

"Hideyoshi we will be fine. Don't worry about it. All we have to do now is rendezvous with the resistance. Mitsuhide is already there by now-"

"My lord, I come on orders from Mitsuhide. The leader of the resistance is thinking about surrendering. What should we do?"

"Tell Mitsuhide to stall him. We shall be there momentarily." The soldiers ran off towards the castle's south entrance. "Let's go!" They continue towards the castle. He arrived at the castle's east entrance. "Finish off these snakes." He led his army against the enemies. In mere minutes, the combined force of the Shu army and Nobunaga's army wiped out the snakes.

"Hey, you're-"

"Nobunaga Oda. Lead me to your leader now." He demanded.

"Yes my lord. Right away." He led Nobunaga and Hideyoshi into the castle. After everyone was inside, he closed the gate. They all walked towards the western gate. Nobunaga, Guan Ping, and Hideyoshi stopped at the innermost part of the castle where Huang Zhong resided.

"Wait here." Nobunaga issued the order to the troops. The three of them walked up to Huang Zhong. "What are you doing? Why aren't you fighting with your allies?"

"My… Lord Zhuge Liang is among the enemy ranks… If he is there… than Shu must have no future…"

"Ah yes… I have heard of this Zhuge Liang. He is apparently one of the greatest strategists of all time. If he is among them, shouldn't we have been destroyed by now? Maybe he is not using his best strategies for a reason."

"He is right my lord." Guan Ping chimed in.

"He issued a straight forward attack to try and claim the supply base after I took it from him. He used no strategy. I don't think he is loyal to Orochi." Nobunaga stated. "If he was, he would have used his best strategies on us." Nobunaga started to laugh. "I wonder if his military genius surpasses my own."

Huang Zhong stood up off his seat. "Very well. What you said makes a lot of sense. I think we can still win this."

"Fine. Join me in my goal of eliminating Orochi from this world."

"Yes my lord. You have the Shu resistance on your side." They all left to go join the others at the western gate only to discover that without an officer, the Shu troops lost all hope. The Orochi Army overran the western gate and now they swarmed the castle. They called all the troops to the center of the castle again. This time, there were almost no troops left. The enemy had ten thousand troops among their ranks whereas Nobunaga's and Huang Zhong's forces combined were down to three thousand. "Close the gate!" Huang Zhong issued for the gate to be closed and then sat with the other generals after ordering the troops to wait by the gate. "So what can we do?"

"Mitsuhide, do you have a plan?" Nobunaga asked curiously.

"The way I see it, the enemy is down to two generals. Zhuge Liang and… This other general named Orez Takashi. Orez holds a good four thousand of the troops."

"I see where you're going with this. Is he loyal to the Orochi Army?" Guan Ping asked.

"As a matter of fact, no. We need a strategist and he was learning from Zhuge Liang. That is the only reason he remained there. He has no reason to stay anymore and if we can talk to him, we can convince him to join us." Mitsuhide stated.

"Hmm… First we must get him away from Zhuge Liang, and then we can talk to him. Once that happens… The enemy will die among our blades." He started to laugh the laugh he does whenever there is, or going to be, suffering. He smiled. "This will be a great war that will be remembered throughout history. Our names will go down in history as the mortals who beat the snake demon!"

"Yes! This will definitely be a glorious fight! We shall be the resistance army against Orochi. We are going to be… The gods of this new world!" Huang Zhong shouted. They walked over to where the soldiers were waiting.

"Listen here… The enemy outnumbers us vastly. There is no reason to be alarmed though. We have a plan that will help us to destroy the enemy." Nobunaga said.

"Do not give up!!! Continue fighting until our plans come to bear fruit. Show these demons just how strong we humans can be!" The soldiers started to cheer.

"Let us go." Nobunaga said raising the troop's moral.
