Disclaimer: Well Koei did not create the three kingdoms novel. Their Omega division run by Suzuki thought, "Oh, I'll make a fighting game with Three Kingdoms characters and have them act loose to their novel and historical counterparts."
A/N: I wrote their DW personalities instead of their historical ones because that's what the fic was made for. There's no aftermath(Except the hint in this omake)
Zhao Yun vs Zhen Ji Omake
Zhao Yun: The fic was too long.
Zhen Ji: I'm totally obsessed with pleasing Cao Pi on winning that winless battle in this fic….
Zhen Ji shakes her head.
Huang Zhong: Eh, I thought that was the point of your character here?
Zhen Ji: …
Zhao Yun: It shouldn't have been too long….
Huang Zhong: I don't think the author planned this shorty into a full length story with chapters.
Zhang He: But, then if it were a story in 4 chapters , Wang Yi and I could have more interaction and my personal feelings towards Xiahou Yuan's death.
Wang Yi: This is about Zhao Yun and Zhen Ji. Not us…
Zhang He took a deep breath and stares at the other couple.
Zhao Yun: Luo and I were acting totally opposites to each other now that it's all about Shu=Benevolence vs Wei=Talent.
Zhen Ji: I must be drunk to think Cao Pi is 10x more talented than you after re reading this fic. He could run away like the scary cat he was when Xu Sheng did the 'moving fort' strategy at Guanling.
Zhao Yun: But, you were so committed and loyal to Cao Pi here.
Zhao Yun shrug his shoulders.
Zhen Ji: It's making me look like an idiot to underestimate your wit, Zilong.
She sobbed on his shoulders. Wang Yi and Zhang He looked hard at the sad display towards Zhen Ji.
Huang Zhong: You didn't think Zhao Yun is capable of such wit like that? I almost died in real life if it weren't for him.
Zhang He: Meaning, you're killable in the battlefield old man!
Wang Yi elbowed Zhang He.
Wang Yi: Junyi, not now…
Huang Zhong: Want to try it now and find out you can kill me in a duel, girly boy?
Zhang He: You know what else I'm sick of? Continuing to be non serious and a joke! Killing Xiahou Yuan turn on my historical personality!
Huang Zhong: You have more fangirls. I'm just one of the boring characters, hahahaha!
He nudged Zhao Yun while laughing.
Zhen Ji: Why?! Why do I have to continue being like that!?
Zhao Yun: I'm not faring well with myself either.
He comforted her and she feels this arousing compassion from him.
Zhang He: One of these day, I'd be dancing in a bath of your blood!
Wang Yi: Let it go, Junyi! I like the way you are still. You're the biggest reason why Zhuge Liang keeps losing at the northern campaigns. And besides, Ma Chao didn't do squat in Shu.
They can hear her snicker after the last sentence.
Zhao Yun: Only in the novel, Wang Yi.
Wang Yi: He may have done something in the novel, but I haven't heard from him afterwards in history.
Zhao Yun: Can this fic be any worst with him in it?
Zhen Ji: Why? So his sister would be in it and turn the entire fic into Anti Zhen Ji?
Zhao Yun:….
Zhang He: Seriously, you made terrible friends Zilong!
Zhao Yun: What are you talking about…?
Zhao Yun glares at him.
Zhang He: Look at him.
He points at Huang Zhong.
Zhao Yun: Is Sima Yi any different than Hansheng?
He gave Zhang He a serious death stare.
Zhang He: Tha….damn.
Zhao Yun: Well, you're in luck, Zhuge Liang isn't bright either.
Zhang He: But Xiahou Yuan a good man!
Zhao Yun: I understand how you feel about him.
Zhen Ji: No one cares that I'm a good woman…
Wang Yi: Because of Cao Pi again?
Zhao Yun: Originally, She and Cao Pi were on my DW 5 XL legend stage.
Wang Yi: Ah…
Zhang He: I should have been in it! Not just Xu Huang!
Xu Huang pops up.
Xu Huang: Did someone called me?
Zhang He and Wang Yi: No!
Zhao Yun: The last thing I want to do is harm Zhen Ji. A fight between me and Luo is like the incursion between the Heavens and Earth.
Zhen Ji: It's the end of the world!
Zhao Yun: Anyway, I think this version of you need serious therapy. You lose and get a nervous breakdown over disappointing your 'beloved'. Later if Lady Guo's in Dynasty Warriors, she'll take advantage of your failure here and you'll be forced to die as she takes your place as The Empress of Wei.
Huang Zhong: That sounds like something the writer couldn't risk doing because Cao Pi won't risk losing fangirls over killing his first wife.
Zhen Ji suddenly burst into laughter.
Wang Yi: Didn't all of Cao Pi's fans know he put Luo to death?
Zhang He: I shouldn't have defected to Cao Cao the first place if Zhen's life means more to the fate of the Han than swore loyalty to Cao Cao. But, that slender Guo Tu…
Zhao Yun: We never had personal interaction in the games yet, but your story was part of my version of Escape from Guan Du.
Zhen Ji: Just talk to one of the npcs before battle. I was mentioned in the Shu DW 7 storyline.
Zhao Yun: I'm suppose to look disappointed of you going evil for the sake of your 'love'. Yeah, that's how I feel in the fic….
Huang Zhong: That's the point of her character.
Wang Yi: So, you see Zhen Ji as evil and Ma Chao as benevolence. Ok, now I want to start rallying my Anti Ma Chao peeps across the world!
Zhuge Liang pops up
Zhuge Liang: FOR BENEVOLENCE!
Zhang He: Argh! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! You killed my best friend and now Zhuge Liang screaming benevolence!
Huang Zhong: All I want to do is shoot arrows 24/7. That was my excuse joining Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun: We've been saying that same word since Jiang Wei became "The Chosen One"
Zhen Ji is laughing harder
Jiang Wei pops up with Ma Dai and Guan Suo
Jiang Wei: FOR BENEVOLENCE!
Zhang He: Can they ever shut up with that word!?
Wang Yi: Tell that to the DW writers.
Zhao Yun: It's so hard to take ShuHan serious now.
Zhen Ji: Am I still suppose to believe Cao Pi is more talented than you?
Zhao Yun: Yuan Xi wasn't as talented as myself before you heard about me saving Liu Chan, those innocent people following Liu Bei at Changban, and that battle with Cao Cao.
Zhen Ji: Cao Cao's men still think Guan Yu is better.
Zhao Yun: I was also a provincial lord. A fact DW ignores
Huang Zhong: That's the entire point about…everything in Dynasty Warriors lads.
Zhang He: So what's the point about Benevolence, Old Man!?
Guan Yinping, Bao Sanning, and Xingcai pop up.
Shu girls: FOR BENEVOLENCE!
Zhang He starts losing his mind screaming and leaving the room they're in to talking about the fic.
Wang Yi: That word means nothing to me as long I prove Ma Chao is a convicted scumbag.
Zhao Yun: Mengqi isn't going to do anything stupid as long as I keep an eye on him.
Zhen Ji: I married the wrong husbands.
Zhao Yun: You never truly had control over your own life. But, I have the worst wife in Three Kingdoms. So don't feel bad about yourself when it comes to marriage…
Huang Zhong: Your wife is still anonymous.
Zhao Yun: She's not my wife anymore, Hansheng.
Wang Yi: What would Ma Yunlu say about that.
Zhao Yun: I'm not talking about Yunlu or Yufeng, Wang Yi…
Wang Yi: I know, but what would she think?
Zhao Yun: Look at my lady.
Zhao Yun points at Zhen Ji.
Zhen Ji: Yeah, I'm just a super model from 3rd century compare to someone who could beat Zhang He, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhu Rong, Lu Lingqi, and Sun Shang Xiang in a duel.
Wang Yi: That's suppose to make you fall in love, Zilong?
Zhao Yun: In Ma Yunlu's novel Anti Three Kingdoms.
Zhen Ji: She thinks I'm unworthy to be Zhao Yun's wife.
Wang Yi: Yeah right…
Ma Yunlu pops up.
Ma Yunlu: FOR BENEVOLENCE AND JUSTICE!
Huang Zhong: Just like her brother.
Wang Yi:….
Zhen Ji: She's already the most demanding female character.
Wang Yi: So.
Zhao Yun: Would the fic be better if Yunlu in it?
Wang Yi: So I can fight against her and hear all her 'justice' bullcrap from her brother?!
Zhao Yun: It can be interesting to be honest.
Zhen Ji: And I'll be bragging on and on about Cao Pi, fowling over his perfection.
Huang Zhong: But you did said the fic will be Anti Zhen Ji if she's in it.
Zhao Yun: Yeah….
Zhen Ji: I'm fine with that.
Wang Yi: …
After a few minutes of silence, Yun takes out his cell from his pocket.
Zhao Yun: Bomiao, do you have a moment?
Deng Zhi: Yes, what is it? My wife and I are watching Game of Thrones season finale we missed.
Zhao Yun: I'm having trouble with my own game coming out soon. Perhaps, Ma Yunlu should be in it along with Wang Yi.
Deng Zhi: Oh! They'll be in it just to duke it out over Ma Chao's antics. Hahaha!
Zhao Yun: Yeah….
Deng Zhi: That 'friend' of yours is still a huge problem with the game.
Zhao Yun:….
Deng Zhi: If Koei were to make the game focus on Zhuge Liang or Liu Bei, it'll just be called Dynasty Tactics 3 with Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Zhao Yun: Yeah….
Deng Zhi: Zilong, what's wrong?
Zhao Yun: It'd be nice if I could turn back time before I decided to rise against Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zan and met Liu Bei in person.
Deng Zhi: Why?
Zhao Yun: I should have listened to Zhen's brother Yan to raise as colonel earlier in my life.
Deng Zhi: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian were all military colonels. They're unofficially 'Generals' because they oppose Dong Zhuo's rule in the imperial government. Including the local lords, Liu Yu, Liu Yan, and Liu Biao.
Zhao Yun: Only Cao Cao became official because he then obtained the Emperor. Liu Bei was given the position by Tao Qian and acknowledge by Liu Xie later. Despite Cao Cao in power…
Deng Zhi: And Yuan Shao too. Yuan Shu ended up the traitor to the Han.
Zhao Yun: Had I became colonel earlier, I'd have power enough with the people's support and even go to Sizhou to aid Liu Xie. Instead of what I've gone through historically.
Deng Zhi: However, your life with Liu Bei is more interesting.
Zhao Yun:….
Deng Zhi: I may have taken a detour with Liu Zhang, mind you.
Zhao Yun: Not as bad with me when I joined Gongsun Zan.
Deng Zhi: Liu Zhang is the worse. He's no one, Zilong.
Zhao Yun: There are so many possible What If scenarios for me.
Deng Zhi: Is this about Lady Zhen again?
Zhao Yun: Yeah…..
Zhen Ji and Wang Yi were talking to each other as Huang Zhong now left the room to find Yan Yan. Luo's positive face is just too sad for him to think over his 'mistake'.
Deng Zhi: She's Wei's problem! It's their fault! It's Cao Cao's fault! It's Cao Pi's fault! It's those bastards fault, all of them for how miserable she became! Hell, I can also blame Yuan Shao for losing at Guan Du! My opinion won't change regarding to her death…
Zhao Yun: With the popularity I have and my legacy, it's still not fair. The people still suffered and she ended up in the worst case scenario in her life.
Deng Zhi: It's not fair for Cao Cao and Cao Pi, Zilong! You, you were the definition of a Han hero! Savior that and I believe Zhen Ji would urge the same way! Her death was Cao Cao and Cao Pi's loss, hell the entire Cao family including Lady Bian and Cao Zhi! You've got nothing to lose! Nothing!
Zhao Yun: She's still here with me…
Deng Zhi: By her own free will. Something she could have had as a woman right? Go on and you two enjoy yourselves together. Her with Cao Pi was a disaster anyway, history can't change that. You should be worrying about that new fictional character on Dynasty Warriors Eiketsuden. He might even give you a run for your money in characterization.
He closed his eyes remembering what Zhen Ji said about them together. 'Wind and Water bonded together like a roaring storm' she said to him. Wind moves the water wherever it want to go, stopping it now will haul their relationship.
When he finishes texting Deng Zhi, Zhen Ji been waiting alone. Wang Yi left to find Cai Yan.
Zhen Ji: I'm starving.
Zhen Ji playfully teased his arm.
Zhao Yun make a shrug face with red cheeks brushing.
Zhao Yun: This small meeting made you bored. I apologize.
Zhen Ji: That's not it. I want to go out with you for lunch. We've been here with the gang and now we have some time alone. Just the two of us, Yun.
Zhao Yun: Not two of us, four. I think we should bring Nagamasa and Oichi too.
Zhen Ji: Oh, that's a great idea! Shall we go meet them right now?
He nods and they left the room. Later, Huang Zhong returns with his granddaughter to introduce them to her, but the room already empty.
Huang Zhong: Blast it! Looks like you'll get to meet them another time, Wudie. (1)
Huang Wudie: No worries papa! At least, I got to know Xingcai and the others.
(1) I decide to use her other name from Revengers.
