Japan 1380

The sky was filled with black clouds, the rain dancing down, and the thunder booming, filling the field with a blinding light, overpowering the battle-cries of the fighting sides. The battle had raged for several hours now, both sides were exhausted to the point of fatigue. The two waring sides, were the Takeda* and Oda* clan, two sides that had battles for generations. The general of the Oda clan was an old man now, very short and almost bald, he was clearly deep into his later years, yet he was as fit as he had been in his earlier. He sat and looked at a large map, discussing mentally how to turn the tide.

"Sir" the voice came from messenger wearing primitave black armor, riding on a white horse, he passed the general a black scroll, marked with the crest of the Takeda clan.

He opened the scroll, it read with large pitch black kanji, "Our reinforcements have arrived. We will give you 30 minutes to surrender, or none of you will be spared". The general closed the scroll, what to be done, as a member of the Oda clan he would rather die than surrender, to him theres was only one choice. He got up and brought out his pen, and with great elegance he wrote a new message.

"Take this to our enemy" he said passing the scroll, and as quickly as he had arrived, the messenger vanished.

The General turned to a man wearing a black uniform, a large metal plate guarding his forehead, and a large Sasumata* by his side. The general ignited his pipe, and took a long swag from it.

"Shall I retrieve our reinforcements" the man said bowing.

The general took the long pipe out of his mouth, "I see no other choice, have them arrive as quick as they can, there are no options for failure here Mystogan, I hope you realize that".

He nodded, "As you wish master" Mystogan bowed, and vanished, at the speed of a blinking eye.

The general took another swag as the message arrived to the opposing side. The enemy officer picked up the scroll, it was the almost the exact same that he had written, "Our Reinforcements will arrive. We will give you 30 minutes to surrender, or your forces will be defeated" the officer crumbled the paper together, as 250 horsemen, arrived to the battlefield, joining the bloody battle.

Mystogan rode through the field, riding on a black completely white horse, with a flowing blue mane, Mystogan reached a large and black forest, the kind your mother told you to stay away from at night. But at the outskirts of the woods were a small group, about 20 men, ranging from the ages of 18 to 30. They sat around several fires, some where held up in chatter amongst one another, others waited patiently, and others polishing/cleaning their weapons. They all looked completely different, the only thing they had in common was their armor, samurai armor, and even that was different, with different markings for each of them.

"How is that little lady of yours Gajeel" a tall man with blond hair tied up in a pony tail, and that had a really thin nose asked, his armor adorned with hawks.

The man he was talking to was much larger than him, his hair was wild and messy, and he had several metal studs in his face and ears, he looked more like a bandit than a soldier. He was sitting with a large Kanabō* in his hand, his armor had several figures that looked like mountains on them. "Great" he grunted "Couldn't be better", he was obviously lying, his lover and him had some communication problems.

"Just remember to tell her that she always come to me for help" another man with a weird swirl in his hair said. Gajeel was obviously provoked by this, and ready to punch him into the ground.

"A true man does not joke around with adultery, Droy" a man with long white hair said, he was by far the biggest in the group, by his side lay an iron Chigiriki*, adorned with several spikes, each 2 inches long, his armor had several bulls on them, all of them big and brutal looking. "And a true man does no fight his allies, Gajeel".

Gajeel was ready to punch the guy, but backed off, not because they were afraid of him, at least Gajeel wasn't, but because Mystogan rode past them, stopping in front of a man with short yellow hair. The man was smoking a pipe similar to that of the general, he had a large scar running down from his eye, and two bladed tonfas* laying beside him, his armor had several carving that looked like Raiju's.

Beside him sat two others, a man with long green hair, and Bo-hiya* on his back, his armor a deep red color and with the carvings of a serpent coiling around it. The other one was almost as tall as the man with white hair, he wore a large vizor in front of his eyes, and his armor was much different from all the others, having more metal than leather, and adorned with the carvings of ghouls, by his side he had a large Ono*.

"Mystogan, what do i owe the pleasure is the battle over so soon" he smirked, pulling out his pipe.

Mystogan shook his head slowly, "You have been summoned to the field, get your men ready Laxus" he said fast but clearly, "I will inform Makarov that you are on your way" and as fast as he had arrived, he was gone.

"Looks like we have to go" a man with spiky black hair said. "It's been awhile since we've had a good battle" he had a Yumi* on his back, and a demonic Yuki-Onna on his armor. "Wouldn't you agree Loki"?

Loki shrugged, "War is good and all Gray, but the best part is after the fight, I hop to get a wound" he smirked, "Then you can tell all the women how you got it while you courageously fought for our land, but you already have a fiancé so you wouldn't know, how is she anyway". Loki had spiky orange hair, and his armor was decorated with the heads of feral cats. He had a long Bokken* in his hand.

"Fine, busy planning the wedding of course, believe me when Juvia is passionate about something she does not take it likely" Gray answered, getting his horse ready.

"You don't say" Loki answered, still wondering how Gray had NOT noticed that she had stalked him for the last 7 years. "What about you Natsu" he said turning to a samurai with spiky rose hair.

"What about me" he said, pulling himself onto his horse, his armor decorated with fierce dragons.

"Have you found anybody yet, I hear you and Lucy have been seeing each other lately" Loki, got on his horse, it was brown, with a slightly beige mane.

"Of course not don't be silly" he said, pulling his long naginata* off his back, "Lucy is our generals ward, even if she did love me there was no way we could be together" he tapped his horses side with his heels, the horse was a cinnamon color, with a mane that was deep red, the horse ran off, following Laxus and many other samurai.

"Of course" Loki snickered, riding up beside him.

At the battlefield the fight was going against the Oda, the sudden arrival of the horsemen had set them back greatly, they're army had no horsemen themselves, since most of them where taking part in another war. If the samurai did not arrive soon, they would without a doubt lose this battle, the general looked at the knife that lay beside him, no it was to early*. And luckily he had waited, mere seconds later did the samurai arrive, their horses panting as they stopped.

"Whats our status" was the first question Laxus asked, he was armed and ready for battle.

"Calm down my boy" he said, "If you do not relax, you will not think strait, have a second to let your horses catch their breath, if not they won't last long out there, and show some respect for your elders".

Laxus shrugged and jumped down, "What is our status, General Makarov" he repeated annoyed.

The general grew slightly annoyed at this mans behavior, he may be the leader of the samurai, but that excused nothing. But Makarov answered him nonetheless. "We took down two of their flanks nearly as soon as the battle had begun, however they had an advantage in ground, and we lost a large amount of soldiers, we managed to gain the upper-hand however with our archers, but they have once again gained an advantage with an arrival of horsemen, they are advancing on us quickly".

Laxus smiled, this was just the kind of battle he loved, he turned to his men, all of them were ready to fight to the death. He got back up on his horse, and they charged, all of them bringing out their weapons, ready to win the battle. Makarov viewed them from afar, "By Mavis, that kid will be the death of me someday" he shook his head, and sat back on his chair, he could relax now, the battle was more than won.

A messanger arrived to the enemy officer, he sat inside his tent, confident that he would win "Sir they have received reinforcements, it's their samurai"

"What" he yelled, this was indeed unexpected, he turned to a woman in black that stood against a pole that held the tent, only her blue eyes could be seen through her black mask.

"You told me they were fighting in the south" he yelled at her, drawing his katana*.

She smiled inderneath her mask, and in a mere second, she had drawn her own blade, and the officer lay dead, a huge gashing wound over his chest, she sent a cold look to the messenger, who then ran away. She pulled off her mask, revealing her long red hair, shortly after, Mystogan entered the tent.

"I can see you completed your mission Erza" he said pulling off his own mask, revealing his own blue hair.

"Of course, I can see you took care of the remaining officers" Erza said, looking at his Sasumata, that was red with blood.

"Shall we go" he smirked, reaching out his hand which she took, and both of them disappeared as fast as they has killed their enemies.

On the battlefield a new hope seemed to have been given to the soldiers, everybody was close to the verge of giving up, despite their honor, many where tired to the point where they could no longer stand, but as the Samurai ran in, each and every soldier felt themselves grow stronger, they gripped their weapons tightly, and the battle ensued. Laxus and his two followers, the huge man named Bixlow, and the green haired one named Freed, led the way, and eventually the samurai branched out from their formation, some going single, others into groups.

Laxus stretched out his Tonfas, "Paralyze, Skrill*" his tonfas became laced in lightning, finding a target, he used them to ram a man off his horse as he sliced it in between his armor, the man hit the ground with a nice crack, his body twitching slightly. Bixlow didn't even use his weapon, he simply punched people, knocking foot-soldiers down, or men off their horses. Freed loaded his Bo-hiya, "Pierce, Bohemia" a single shot tunneling it's way through the soldiers and drilled it's way into the ground, Freed had three shots left, he had to use them wisely.

Meanwhile Gray armed his Yumi, the huge bow was difficult to use from horseback, but he had mastered the art. "Seek, Deliora" he shot and arrow, it flew through the crowds, hitting the exact target he wanted to. He aimed once more, and fired, the arrow hitting an enemy soldier that was about to slay one of theirs, Gray had 50 arrows left, 50 lives he could take, and 50 he could save.

Elfman and Gajeel had left their horses, they fought better on foot, "Crush, Metalicanna" Gajeel swung his Kanabō into a mans jaw, he fell was as a loud cracking sound could be heard, out through the ground shot a large metal spike, piercing many other soldiers. "Smash, Taurus" Elfman roared as he swung his Chigikiri, gashing through the armors of several men, knocking some back, and ripping the weapons away from several others. They were an unstoppable team of strength.

Loki held his bokken with both hands, it was no killing weapon, however he was a master of it's use, and he made it a killing weapon. "Roar, Regulus" he swung the wooden sword to block an incoming sword, somehow the wood blocked the steel, he punched the man in the gut knocking him away. He swung the bokken the other way, hitting a mans face and knocking him out, Loke was owning this.

Natsu however had secluded him far from everybody else, he brandished his weapon, a long naginata, a dragons head where the blade erupted from. Soldiers where closing in, "Eliminate, Igneel" he said gently, and the blade glowed of the naginata glowed, Natsu swung the blade, a trail of blue flames followed, and an enemy soldier fell dead, not a single scratch on his entire body, the other soldiers halted suddenly, Natsu smiled at them "No need to be scared, let's have a good battle".

Not long after the battle had ended, Oda standing victorious, without a general to guide them, and with the might Samurai's power, the army fell apart. Despite their pride most of the other soldiers had surrendered soon after, their weapons and armor were taken, only their pride was injured. Natsu and the other samurai could rest, their horses were given water, and they were given food.

"I'm telling you I killed more than you did" Natsu roared at Grey.

"Like hell you did" the two were at each others necks, ready to fight to the death just to increase their kill count.

"Where's Erza and Mystogan" Loke asked Makarov, he hadn't seen them since they had left for the battlefield.

Makarov pointed to a tent as he drank a cup of Tea, he viewed the battlefield, foxes and wolves could be seen at the edge, scavenging the soldiers for food, crows flying high, this was no easy sight, they had lost many soldiers, but what had they gained, nothing. He shrugged, his time as a general would soon come to an end, he had to pick a new follower, that was no easy task.

Many miles away the Oda clan had their household, where the the generals, samurai, and daimyo lived. It was a huge area, almost the size of a small town, to guard it a huge forrest had been built surrounding it, and hundreds of beasts had been released, only the samurai could go through the forrest unscathed, them or a caravan. Inside of which sat two girls, both with beautiful hair, the coach driver was the samurai Alzack Connel, he had just become a father, and had been sent on this task instead of battle, something he was both grateful for, yet still slightly jealous.

"You think I'll be welcomed here, I'm not a kuniochi* like you Mira" said the younger sister, with shorter hair

"Don't worry about it Lisanna" Mira said, she was taller, had longer hair, and weird pony tail on her forehead. "You'll be welcomed with open arms".

Lisanna smiled, she had traveled all the way from their home in the southern part of the land because of the war, her father, a former war general, had stayed behind to help the soldiers, providing lodging and food. She hoped to come home soon, but she was still exited to meet him again. She held her small silver pendant and smiled, she really wanted to meet him again.

TBC

Okay that was the first chapter, and was it good, maybe, what do you think? I was kind of inspired by The Iron Knight made by Kurisu313, I kind of wanted to make the same thing, just with my favorite pairings, but I didn't wanna make a complete retread so I decided to make it in a different time, I'm really surprised that nobody's done this before, I was also thinking about doing an Ancient Egyptian one, but this was more exiting, at least in my opinion. One thing I'd like to say is that everything might not be completely time accurate but here's the thing:

DEAL WITH IT

One flaw I kind of see now is that many you probably don't know what the weapons are, oh well, here are the word meanings:

Takeda: Was one of the strongest clans that fought for control over japan during the edo period.

Oda: Again was one of the strongest clans that fought for control of japan during the edo period.

Susuamata: A spear like weapon that can be used both to push and stab with, still used today minus the lethal blades at the ends of it

Kanabō: A mace like weapon that was used to bludgeon enemies to death, it could apparently smash rocks, but where just as dangerous to the user as enemy

Chigiriki: A weapon that consisted of a stick, generally bamboo, with a chain attached to one end, and on the other end of the chain a large slab of metal

Tonfas: A stick like weapon that can be used both for attack and defense, thanks to the handle that makes one side much longer than the other

Bo-hiya: Basically the words first missiles (minus the explosion) it consisted of a huge arrow with a ramp and and with a fuse to ignite

Ono: A battle Hatchet, yeah that's basically it

Yumi: The worlds largest bow ever use in practice, it was sometimes taller than the man firing it

Bokken: Ever seen Shaman King, no, well a Bokken is a wooden sword that was used mostly for practice rather than real combat unless the intent was not to kill

Naginata: A long spear like weapon, with a long blade on the end, often used on horseback by the samurai

The Knife: Basically he was thinking of committing suicide, surrendering or being captured was seen as worse than death in Fudal Japan

Katana: If you don't know this, please go read a book about swords NOW

Skrill: Okay I could not find the name of the thunder dragon though I think they mentioned it somewhere, so now it's Skrill, the name of a dragon from HTTYD

Kuniochi: A female Ninja

So yeah, please review and and follow. What do you like, and what don't you like?
