I'M BACK! With something to replace Samurai Warriors IM! Because that has been removed by FF TToTT! Since it was against the rules, I came up with something different. I hope it'll be fun though. It's not really with everything in it though, just see this chapter as an introduction.
Some of you had OC's who participated in the IM, anyone who cares to include them?
LOL I'll just explain the plot. All characters of Samurai Warriors get locked up in a huge castle. But they need to like, deal with each other as long they're all trapped in the same place. How did they ended up in this mess? It was a set-up of the serpent king Orochi! He just wants some amusement while following the char. in their daily lives.
Orochi sends all characters invitations to come to the castle. The SW cast, not knowing it's a trap eventually all arrive. As they're all inside the doors close and their trapped. Orochi tells them that they all are actually free to leave but, whoever manages to keep out in the castle and is the last one remaining, will gain Orochi's very own might and an amount of gold. Although none of the cast believe him, they are willing to give it a shot.
The thing is… How will they get another to leave? From drama to funny tantrums and pranks, what more will involve their stay at Orochi's castle? Will they be able to stand another?
Let's just get this started :P
Orochi's castle, Chapter one
Enjoy!
Ieyasu sat right before his castle, staring at the sakura trees. So peaceful… He closed his eyes for a second, forgetting about war, forgetting about conquering, just some time for his self. He reached to his right for the chicken leg he was eating, taking a bite from it.
This was life.
However…
"My lord!"
The lord's eyes shot open and he narrowed them again at his minor as he glared at him for disturbing his rest.
"What is it?" He sighed heavily. The soldier bowed and handed his lord a letter.
"It's an invitation, my lord!"
"From who?" He really couldn't be bothered. He really wasn't planning to go to some boaster who would suck up to him first and later would stab him in the back. He's so had it.
"That wasn't mentioned in the letter my, lord."
"I see… " Ieyasu's eyes scanned over the paper as he was reading it carefully. The soldier looked surprised as his lord was smiling a little bit and mumbled a few words.
"Interesting… Go call Tadakatsu, Hanzo and Ina and spread the word! I don't know how long this will take. But the visit seems worth it."
With that, the soldier took off running to his comrades to tell the news and call Ieyasu's most important retainers.
Of course, Ieyasu was not the only one invited for the still unfamiliar event. As you can guess all conquerors and their affiliations were welcome, each was intrigued with the possibilities and offers that were announced. In the letter was not mentioned what they had to do for it, or what the purpose was, but they were curious enough and willing to find it out.
The next day Ieyasu, Tadakatsu, Ina and Hanzo arrived early at the gates. They raised their heads to stare in awe at the castle's grandness.
"I hope, the castle has enough shadows…" The ninja said.
The most fearsome warrior in Japan turned his head to look at the ninja, an eyebrow raised at his sudden statement. "How are you planning to even try to win if you are just hiding in the dark? Besides, I am pretty sure you're going to be disqualified for assassinating the other contestants so sneakily."
Hanzo remained silent. Until…"You're just jealous. All you can do is instill fear in the hearts of your enemies before killing them. You can't be sneaky. You're probably too huge to hide in a shadow."
Tadakatsu raised his other eyebrow too. "What?"
"Denying is futile."
Ina just shook her head. "Why are the gates closed anyway? Are we too early?"
Their lord walked a bit forward. "That's not right, in the invitation stood that the castle would be accessible till everyone has arrived." He laid his hand on the huge fence like gate as it started to creak and opened instantly.
"It is time…" Hanzo said in his usual tone and disappeared, probably inside the castle and searching for some random shadow corner.
Ieyasu pointed his portable canon in the castle's way determinedly. "We shall go forward and see what awaits us!"
And so, he and his retainers followed him inside.
The lord of Mikawa was surprised as he see that in the hall of the castle many fellow conquerors had already arrived. He looked at them and they looked back, just as perplexed as he was. Hideyoshi was the first to walk up to him.
"So… I see you are here to gain the loot as well. Haha, why am I not surprised?" He howled in amusement.
Ieyasu glared at him. "You know that is not true. I am not here for personal gain. With the so called prices, I will have the opportunity to defeat all of you including yourself, Hideyoshi. Be prepared."
The latter merely laughed and turned around to walk away in his monkey like fashion. "Just you wait and see. Believe me, someone like you isn't a threat to me."
"We'll see. Monkey." Ieyasu said provokingly.
Hideyoshi turned around as he coughed and almost choked. "Fatty say what? No way like a fat old man like you will be able to actually accomplish something."
With that, Ieyasu became angry and motioned for Tadakatsu to accompany him. "Tadakatsu, do you thing the organizer will cut us some slack? After all, it hasn't officially started yet."
His retainer smirked. "I am willing to take that risk."
"Uh oh.." Hideyoshi ran like hell as he got the Mikawa warriors both chasing after him.
Ina just looked after them, a hint of amusement on her face.
She wasn't the only one watching. "ugh, will he ever learn?" Mitsunari sighed.
Nene smiled her motherly smile. "He's just having fun. Just let him be for now. I am sure they are not going to kill him or anything. No, they wouldn't want to see me angry now would they?"
Mitsunari was shocked as he was taken back a little as his 'mother' put up the most sweet smile you could ever imagine. But the thing is, such negative aura could be felt coming from her. Ieyasu should watch his back.
The man looked around. Everyone was already here. Besides Ieyasu and Tadakatsu, Ina participated too as he could see. Hanzo as well probably, but he couldn't see him. Probably hiding in his so called 'darkness'.
Of course, to his annoyance, Kiyomasa and Masanori were here too. Even though his own protesting Hideyoshi agreed.
He saw Ujiyasu of the Höjo, that weird Chaotic ninja Kotaro and Kaihime. He raised an eyebrow and turned his head at the door which opened as it revealed Yukimura walking in too.
With that little ninja wench…
Anyway so far, The Uesugi were here too and logically the Shingen Takeda followed after, Sakon walking in too.
Yoshihiro and Ginchiyo arrived also, arguing as Muneshige decided to butt in too.
Suddenly he heard a loud voice bragging about his might. Yup seemed like Date was here, Magoichi Saika walking about, probably looking on who he was going to try out his charms next.
Next was the Oda, Nobunaga immediately searching for his 'brother', Nagamasa Azai, accompanied by his wife, Oichi.
Mitsuhide stood with his daughter, Gracia, talking to her about something.
Motonari Mori followed after, coming in sleepy holding his hand before his mouth as he yawned, Kanbei and Hanbei walking beside him.
Toshiie and Katsuie walked in next.
Mitsunari turned his head again but was shocked at what he saw. Kojiro Sasaki looked amused as he backed Musashi into a corner.
Mitsunari turned again in disgust, as he didn't want to see what would happen next.
Keiji Maeda had howled and laughed as he stormed in and ranted something about having the best time of his life, fighting everyone. Okuni followed him but decided to throw everyone an unasked encore.
Last but not least, and probably unexpected, Yoshimoto was the last one to barge in, everyone becoming silent as he asked for a game of Kemari.
Suddenly laughing could be heard through the room as that took everybody's attention. A sort of energy appeared in the middle of the hall and slightly formed a face. It became dark in the place and the aura began to speak.
"Welcome warriors." It chuckled.
How was that? ^^
LOL I know how corny it still is now. But this is an introduction. Anyone cares for ideas for pranks or any requests? They're all welcome! ^^
