Disclaimer: I don't own Dynasty Warriors. But this ultimate battle royal I'm about to present.
Dynasty Kingdom Slugfest
At Xu Chang…
"My lord, there's a message with an anonymous signature," Xun Yu said.
Cao Cao reads the message and it's about an invitational to a tournament with anyone can participate. The winner will…
At Jian Ye…
"5 billion gold? Does such amount of money exist?" Zhou Yu screamed.
"Whatever that means, I can't wait to participate this tournament! How about it, Sis?" Sun Ce asked.
"Sure, couldn't refuse such an invitational from an anonymous source!" Shang Xiang said. She's very excited for a annul tournament in China.
Meanwhile at Cheng Du, hosted in Mian Zhu Forest…
"A battle royal contest, each of the bravest warriors must survive and only one will walk away as the last man standing…" Zhuge Liang said.
He looks at the 5 tiger generals and other officers who are all, but gone after hearing the news. Yue Ying and Jiang Wei are the only ones still here.
"Well, all our officers are going to get their qualification matches before either of them will make it to the battle royal," Yue Ying explained.
"Correct, my wife. Damn, to see them all leave so fast, Jiang Wei are you excited to test your skills in this tournament?"
"Yes Prime Minister, I'll live up to your expectations!" Jiang Wei smiled.
Everywhere in Ancient China is receiving the invitational, Yuan Shao, Zhang Jiao, Liu Biao, and other region lords. Today is the annual Dynasty Warriors: Dynasty Kingdom Slugfest.
Someplace near Liang province…
Big boots, huge halberd, there's only one person who has those qualities.
"Lu Bu, there's a message I got that might be interesting for you to read it" Gao Shun said.
"Hmm, 5 billion gold. Are they throwing us this bull?" Lu Bu questioned.
"It's an all out battle royal taken place here in China! With this, we can quickly rebuild our army of might and get our revenge on Cao Cao," Gao Shun said.
"I believe this is a good shot, General," Chen Gong said.
"Take me there with you too!" Diao Chan demanded.
"Alright…we will participate this tournament and only I, Lu Bu, shall bring home the gold!" Lu Bu said.
Outside Cheng Du…
"Zhao Yun, this is our chance to prove who is the best out of the 5 Tigers! Don't leave yourself out when we train hard for this event. I dare you and I will be the last two in the ring," Ma Chao said.
"Maybe, there are going to be some of the strongest warriors participating. We shouldn't underestimate any of them. I recall your mistakes with Cao Pi," Zhao Yun said.
"Yeaaah….." Ma Chao remembers that stupid stunt he pulled and it was backfire when Cao Pi set a plot to defeat Ma Chao. Ma Chao once again failed the unification of Liang province.
Speaking of Cao Wei…at the training court in Xu Chang…
Weapon chanting can be heard in that hall, Zhang Liao is sparring with Xu Huang and the Xiahou Dun working with Cao Ren.
"Are you boys ready to go out there and spill some blood?" Sima Yi appears humming throughout the hall. Something tells him that Zhuge Liang will be in the battle royal when it starts. Nothing will stop Yi from claiming himself the greatest mind in China.
Dian Wei and Xu Zhu walk up with Cao Cao in the middle. They are extremely prepared to wreck some bodies for 5 billion. Only problem remains is the ambition.
"I know you all wanted to win that 5 billion, but I have a proposition. Any of you win that 5 billion; I like to use it for funding our military technology. We must crush those Wu rejects once and for all. The Chi Bi battle will remind we get stronger when we're crippled. One loss is just another step up to domination!" Cao Cao said.
While in the dark hallway, two figures stood hearing the entire conversation. One wielding a double saber called "Pure Havoc" and the other whom beauty is unrivaled holding an iron flute with a sharp claw on the hilt.
"I have my own plans with that 5 billion, Father; even if it means defeating your so called best generals. I, Cao Pi, will use that 5 billion gold for my own luxuries and ending our long boring rivalry with Shu. Don't you think that's an adorable plan, my dear?" Cao Pi asked turning to his wife. She's thinking about her own intentions to win the tournament, not letting Cao Pi see through this. She woke up and turns to her husband.
"It's a splendid plan, my lord. I will help you achieve this goal. Together will crush anyone in our path. Let it the two of us as the last people in the ring," Zhen Ji replied.
Back in Wu territory…
"Does 5 billion gold really exist? Something tells me this tournament can be a trap," Zhou Yu said.
"Chill out, Zhou Yu. We won't know till we see it," Sun Ce said.
"Hey did anybody say 5 billion? Woah this prize can determinate who is going to be rich!" Gan Ning said. He's excited to be in this tournament, although other Wu officers can see him coming to make trouble.
Lu Xun quickly seeks out of the audience.
"Where are you going, fireboy? You're participating with us too!" Gan Ning grabs him with a wicked smile.
"Uh….I don't think I'm up for the challenge…" Lu Xun said with sweat drops all over his face.
"Hey, where's that spirit you had at Yi Ling? Come on, it'll be fun," Gan Ning said.
Lu Xun can only gulp. There's no way out of the solution. He must join some barbaric tournament.
Wu officers are training hard for this month's tournament especially Lu Xun.
In some office at the stadium…
"Is everything going exactly as the plan accord?" mysterious young man said.
"Yeah boss…" Zhou Tai said.
"Invitational…complete…" Wei Yan said.
"Good work you two. Starting today, both of you are my bodyguards. Take watch on anything going on once the tournament starts," mysterious man said.
He walks up to the viewing. Thousands of fans are lining up to see the qualification rounds. There are already two competitors who appear. They're Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. How fast they rode to get here!
"Well well, the first two arrive. It'll be hours till the rest of China's best warriors get here. I'll be expecting the two Tiger Generals to make it to the battle royal. And Zhao Yun, I have a surprise for you, something worth your deeds to appreciate," mysterious man said.
Outside the stadium…
"Do we have a building like this in 3rd century? It looks…futuristic…" Ma Chao said.
"Impressive. With this kind of training court, we can have more space to form larger combat drills," Zhao Yun said.
A large cavalry arrives; Wei forces entirely all of Cao Cao's best warriors joining along with Cao Cao himself.
"Cao Cao!" Ma Chao shouted.
"Xi Liang yank, what brings you to this tournament? Still persistent to take my head?" Cao Cao said annoyed.
"Hehehe, that trick I pulled was classic. Stealing your horse and had to walk miles away from your former pitiful province," Cao Pi laughed.
"You…" But, Ma Chao was stopped by the arm of Zhao Yun who blocking the sword of justice.
"I'm honored to see your astonishing cavalry here today…" He turns around to reveal the Wei officers.
"My spear shall answer all challenges," Zhao Yun smiled. The Wei officers stare at the fierce dragon maniacally. He's been a huge thorn on their pride. Everyone except…
"Don't try to hold back on me. I'll never forgive you doing that…" Zhen Ji said. "Does the dragon of Chang Shan fears women the worst as his greatest weakest? It's a pathetic sight to my eyes. I know you best."
"Hmph, why are we wasting time with him? Lets get on with the qualify rounds and then we'll show him how Wei generals don't take too kindly with virtuous oxy morons like Ma Chao," Xiahou Dun said sarcastically.
"What did you say?" Ma Chao shouted.
"Take it easy, Chao…we're not here for a war. Let them go have their fun and you can settle this when the tournament starts," Zhao Yun said.
The Wei army head towards inside the stadium. Cao Cao talked to his best friend and strategist Guo Jia.
"I'm still thinking about getting Zhao Yun in my army. Although most of my men are protesting it because of the death of many officers at Chang Ban," Cao Cao said.
"The warrior is wearing blue, why else should many of Shu officers wear something other than green?" Guo Jia said.
"There is more to this warrior I like to know much about…" Cao Cao said.
Meanwhile the Wu officers arrive…
"Here we are, first step to getting rich. AHWOO!" Gan Ning said.
"Oh please…." Zhou Yu takes a look at the stadium. It's like someone came up the idea is out of his mind.
"You're thinking about this is one of Zhuge Liang's masterpiece again?" Xiao Qiao questioned. Her husband keeps complaining all about Zhuge Liang this and that in the room.
"Huh? There's no way Zhuge Liang has the materials to create some coliseum like this. Who ever build it must be far more intelligent that the sleeping dragon and myself," Zhou Yu said.
"Whatever…I'm so impressed with this stadium. We can make one of these in my kingdom, so we can have our own tournament," Sun Jian said who finally arrive as the last person who rode with the Wu army.
"My lord," Zhou Yu bowed.
"Ah, stop with the lord thing. Everyone is a member of the Sun Family and you should call me Uncle Jian," Sun Jian said. "Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, are you both ready to show we, the Wu army can occupy any land in one month?"
"Yes sir!" both of them replied.
And finally the Shu army arrived…
"My lord, something not right here. I know Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came here earlier before us, but where is Wei Yan?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"I don't know. Hopefully, he is here awaiting us inside this strange castle," Liu Bei said.
Zhuge Liang not the only one with concerns. Sun Quan looks around outside for his most loyal vessal.
"Has anyone seen Zhou Tai?" Sun Quan asked.
Back inside the office…
"Don't worry about your former masters. Wei Yan, I understand how much you hate being scolded by Zhuge Liang. Zhou Tai, saving Sun Quan all the time really does embarrass yourself as a Wu officer because your master really does …sucks" mysterious man said.
The two bodyguards nodded. They're happy to have a master well respected and use their talents in the right direction.
Everyone is inside the stadium, but there's one more thing missing. Lu Bu's army arrived late.
"Hmph, we're late. Is everyone ready?" Lu Bu said.
"My halberd is sharpen up ready to prove ourselves masters of true might," Gao Shun said.
"I wouldn't count on qualifying the battle royal. There is something strange going on here. The style of the building is never something I seen my life. We must be cautious, Lu Bu. Could be Cao Cao's trap," Chen Gong spoke coldly.
"The Mightiest Warrior can never fear to the power of Cao Cao's traps. You know this Chen Gong and that's why Lu Bu doesn't need advice," Diao Chan said.
"I see your point, but…I have a bad feeling about this tournament," Chen Gong said.
Ladies and Gentleman! The Dynasty Warriors Dynastic Kingdom Slugfest is about to begin. Violence passion, wild ambition, and hardcore entertainment all fill the pleasures of China's greatest fighters. Next Chapter, the list of qualifiers will be reveal!

Author's Notes: This is probably the first time I rush a fanfic in 6 pages. Since there isn't a fanfic that talks about a battle royal like this, so I decided to come up with this story. Watch when surprises are thrown in this exciting tournament. )
