Romance of the Berserk

Hello fanfic followers. I'm so glad to finally start up a Berserk fanfic as I've watched the Anime and am following the manga and I must say that is the most awesome Manga/Anime I've ever come across. I couldn't think of a good enough idea for a fanfic so I decided why not cross over with one of the best video games out there: Dynasty Warriors. This will follow a similar (but not parallel) story to the Berserk series and with the storyline of Dynasty Warriors. The DW characters might appear a tad OOC but that is only so they fit the characters they represent in Berserk. I take all criticism but please don't be mean. So without further ado here's Romance of the Berserk.

Chapter 1

"All forces head for Hu Lao Gate!" The Allied forces commander Yuan Shao ordered his troops from the front-lines. As a member of the prestige Yuan family he swore not to stain his coat with the blood of tyrant-followers.

The Allied forces charged with their spears, swords pikes and other weapons of varying devastation. Scores upon thousands of men were cramming themselves through a ten metre wide opening. It would only take one maniac to hold up the advance.

And that maniac had emerged before the Yuan's eyes.

"Oh no! It cannot be!" Yuan Shao fixated his terrified gaze on the one of the most feared warriors in China.

"What on earth is he doing here? At a time like this?"

The footsoldiers soon froze in their tracks when faced with the demon warrior himself. If his thick golden armour and antennae like extensions on his forehead weren't intimidating enough, when he pulled out his mighty halberd Sky Piercer in front of a dozen soldiers, everyone knew the demon warrior was ready for a fight.

"Is that who I think it is...?" One of the wayward privates stammered. "It's Lu Bu! Lu Bu has come to destroy us!" As the terrified solder fled in what others saw as a completely reasonable decision he was mercilessly mowed down by the mighty Lu Bu as he strode on his famous Red Hare.

"What are they doing?" Yuan Shao was furious at his men's cowardice. "Tell them to advance for Luo Yang and forget about Lu Bu."

"Yes sir!" The Lieutenant rode towards the front battalion and ordered a full scale push through Hu Lao Gate. However this one warrior was not going to let anyone past this gate without a significant toll.

One by one and soon ten by ten the soldiers were slain by the swift swing of Sky Piercer. There was no way through. Even when Yuan Shao called for Sun Jian's, and Liu Bei's forces, they were still finding progress impervious.

"Curses!" Yuan Shao rose off the saddle of his horse. "Is there noone out there who can defeat Lu Bu?"

Even though the thundering sound of battle was echoing through the air one man's crunching footsteps stood out from the rest as he slowly walked though the mass of confused soldiers. Most of his body was wrapped in cloak but their seemed to be a large object protruding from the back of his shoulders. This lone man was clearly not part of the Allies army but he nonetheless stepped through the piles of dead and faced his challenger.

Yuan Shao and the other Generals froze. "Is he that insane? Taking on Lu Bu alone?"

"He must be on a suicide mission." Snickered Yuan Shu, a subordinate general who seemed to offer very little contribution to the Allied forces campaign.

The lone warrior stopped about three metres away from Lu Bu, just enough range for his halberd to slice his head in two. The demon warrior heaved his Sky Piercer over his shoulder effortlessly. "Hey you! Are you stupid or lost your mind? No-one is getting past here."

The figure did not utter a word and remained perfectly still. Lu Bu became annoyed at this man's defiance. "Hey! I said beat it, look around you. Do you think just one person can challenge me?" As he scoffed he lost sight of the cloaked figure. He reached for his halberd and only barely stopped the man's sword from reaching his head.

"What is that thing!" Lu Bu was amazed at the sheer size of the man's sword, it stood almost as tall as himself and was as thick as four swords held together. What kind of human could possibly wiled such an enormous and heavy sword.

The hood of the man's cloak slipped away to reveal raw fighting spirit. His black hair spiked over his forehead his eyes were as sharp as a hawk.

Lu Bu held back the heavy sword through a sheer will to survive. "Who the hell are you?" He parried the man's sword as he flipped backwards and gracefully landed with his cape unfurling smoothly.

Lu Bu was for the first time in his life trembling. That man just slipped out of sight for a split second then nearly struck my head. He wields a giant sword and amazingly his agility is unaffected as if it were as light as a rapier to him.

"Damn you scum! I won't let you get the better of me!" He raised his mighty halberd and sliced down with the force of a guillotine the challenger held up his sword with one hand and shoved the force of Lu Bu's halberd to the side, leaving his entire mid section exposed. In one leap the challenger slashed his sword through Lu Bu's thick armour, slicing though it as if it were made of paper.

"GAGH!" Lu Bu stepped back just before his body was sliced in two. "Insolent fool! No one has ever beaten me! Now learn your place common thug!" Lu Bu entered his demon dance as he swung his halberd around repeatedly over his shoulder, spinning around as to use the ful momentum of his body in one strike. The Sky Piercer connected with the challenger's blade and shattered. Lu Bu was frustrated but knew he had the momentum left in his swung to take off his foe's head. He rolled his halberd out of the blade and continued to swing towards the challenger's head. However the challenger had also moved out of the block and bought his sword towards Lu Bu's abdomen once more, slashing through his guts and sending waves of blood across the virtually deserted battlefield.

"Im-posibble he defeated Lu Bu!" Yuan Shao had thought he was dreaming when he witnessed the day someone stood up to that warrior. After a moment of idle shock Yuan Shao resumed the march towards Luo Yang. "LU BU HAS BEEN SLAIN! ALL FORCES ADVANCE!"

Soon enough the challenger who's single-handedly defeated Lu Bu was hidden in a swarm of charging soldiers. One of the Allied generals witnessed this man's valiant effort and was possibly more impressed than the noble Yuan.

Cao Cao had but one desire on his mind at that moment. "That man...he must be mine!"

If you haven't worked out who the cloaked challenger was yet then your an idiot. Sorry for the short length but it is after all the opening chapter. Don't miss the next chapter
