Chapter 6
I-It's Lu Bu!!
Lie Tsu went wide-eyed and fell on his knees. Mao Tsu had a sad expression on his face and hung his head low. The sword guy, Robert and I just scratched our heads and fidgeted around. I was still nervous of this tunnel. There are other slaves around us and they may overhear us talking about taking down the slave master. Well, my idea was to take down the slave master and rescue Lie Tsu's wife.
"Hey guys, I have a crazy idea but I think I know a way to rescue your wife." I looked at my troops curiously, seeing if they wanted to hear what I have to say.
Mao Tsu lit up his face and had on a huge grin. "Wait, I know a place where we can talk. Follow me!" And with that Mao Tsu ran with his 2 hammers hung on his belt. Me and the others followed.
We came upon a broken-down cabin. The windows were falling apart and several roof tiles were missing. The porch had some dust collected in the corners from the obsolete use of cleaning. The place looked like spiders can just roam free in there. And to tell you the truth, I HATE spiders, especially frickin huge ones.
"Wow Mao Tsu, you live in here all by yourself?" Lie Tsu looked at Mao Tsu with a concerned look on his face, but all Mao Tsu did was grin at his father.
"I don't really live here alone. I made a friend while mining at the Ueda Tunnels and he's cool. I wouldn't be this strong without him." Lie Tsu arched his eyebrows.
Mao Tsu beckoned us to come inside the cabin and soon enough we did. Well, at least the inside was cleaner than the outside. Several wooly blankets and pillows were layed on the ground. Several lamps were lit on the floor, illuminating the darkness inside. A weird box thing was next to one of the corners. And in the middle of the room sat a ragged clothed...black teen? He was light black skinned with several scars streaking from his forearms. His build was pretty huge like a decent football player. His shirt was ragged, black and sleeveless showing his muscles. He also had on ragged pants which were sagging. And he was wearing sandals with woolen soles. He had dark brown eyes which were staring at us with suspicion. He even had the choker around his neck. The cool thing about his appearance was...his afro. It was puffy and huge, that's all I have to say.
"Hey Mao Tsu, brutha, who're these foo's?" He was eating a biscuit in one hand while the other was going towards his slingshot weapon.
"It's okay Darrel, this here are my father and his friends. They just came by." Mao Tsu grinned and went towards Darrel to sit next to him.
"Yo fatha? I thought you said he was...ah, nevamind. You do joke around some times Mao." Darrel just gave Mao Tsu a short noogie.
"Hey, if yo guys are Mao's friends and family, you can come in 'ere." Darrel beckoned us to sit down and that's what we did. When I sat down, I spotted on Darrel's belt a wooden slingshot put there. It had a rubber band as a pull thing and a knife-like blade was protruding from the end. Pretty smart.
"So what'chu guys up ta dese days?" Darrel was looking at each one of us awaiting for our answers. I guess I was first to answer.
"Well, we were kinda here to save someone's relatives...but I think I may know a way to save his relatives AND the slaves here." At that moment everyone suddenly faced me and waited for my ideas. "I was thinking...if we can encourage the slaves to help us fight against the slave master and his troops then maybe we may have a chance against em." Wow, this idea was actually pretty reasonable. It'll be...what was that saying again? It'll be killing 2 birds with 1 stone? Yeah, that's the one.
Robert interrupted my important moment. "You know that the slave master has several other officers and generals inside the castle right? He's not gonna be fighting by himself."
Darrel nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I've heard dat 2 o' 3 officers work unda him. They're considerably strong and dey can take out tons o' troops in one go."
Lie Tsu looked concerned. "So...what should we do?"
I stamped the end teeth of my spear and yelled out in a loud voice, "We're gonna FIGHT them head on!"
Everyone: --'
"Hey, dat's a good plan! Fo' a dumbass..." Darrel shot some spit off to a corner.
Me: v.v
Robert picked up his great sword and stood up. "We must first encourage the slaves I suppose. Let's go." And with that, everyone left the building.
At the crystal clear fountain
This was pretty crazy. Mao Tsu and Darrel was on the edge of the fountain, clearing their voices for the encouraging announcement. Many slaves were already abandoning their current occupation and are circling us with amused and curious faces. Me, the sword guy, Lie Tsu and Robert were just beside their location, just making sure if there are any random attacks.
"The people of Ueda! Now is the time to fight back against the slave master! He has always sent his troops to pick on us and throw us around. The snakes even took our women and kids! And us men have to work long nights and days without rest, working for their slob of an army! Now it's OUR time to show them what we can do! We'll take our women BACK! We'll take our kids BACK! We'll take what was rightfully ours BACK! Now who's with me?!"
Wow, a fast but interesting speech. I was looking at all the slaves, expecting them to yell and cheer. But instead, they were looking at something that was behind us. I heard an indistinct neigh from a horse. All the slaves turned wide-eyed, and started screaming and yelling and running back to their own homes. Me and the others turned around slowly and I think my heart stopped at that moment.
There stood the most huge, immense, frightening character of DW and WO. Lu Bu...in his Dw6 outfit. And on his shoulder was the cross-shaped spear. And his steed...the Red Hare. He had his eyes narrowed at us with full bloodlust and a sneer that created frightening chills running down my spine. Lu Bu dismounted his steed and stood tall.
He was FRICKIN HUGE! He was probably 7-8 feet? I dunno, but it was big. Bigger then...Darrel, and he's only 6'1. I saw everyone draw out their weapons. Mao Tsu with his dual hammers, Darrel with his slingshot blade, Robert with his great sword, Lie Tsu with his huge wooden hatchet, the sword guy with his longsword and me...with my spear.
"Hm, looks like there are warriors here that may satisfy my taste for some blood. And did you say you wanted to fight the slave master? You're gonna have to get past the MIGHTY LU BU first!" Lu Bu broke his cross spear into 2 spears and ran towards us. I think I heard the theme song for Lu Bu...ah, oh well.
Lu Bu went towards Mao Tsu first and was about to stab him double time when Darrel intercepted him with his medium-sized slingshot's blade. Lu Bu did a low spear swing that made Darrel trip and then kicked him HARD in the head, flinging the unconscious body of Darrel into a nearby tree. Lie Tsu swung his axe and Mao Tsu swung his dual hammers towards Lu Bu but he blocked them both with his 2 spears and did a shoulder smash which made them fly 5 feet away from him. Lu Bu looked towards Robert's position and went wide-eyed.
"Robert! What are you doing with these imbecilic weaklings! Are you betraying Orochi as well!"
Robert had his great sword propped on his shoulder and used his free hand to stroke his white mustache. "I don't know if I'm "betraying" Orochi, I'm just trying to help these guys out. Is that bad?" Robert went into a defense stance with his great sword in front of him and was prepared when Lu Bu instantly charged into him with his cross spear.
"If you're even helping some people to fight back against anyone relating with Orochi, then I have no choice...but to kill you. Too bad that Orochi is going to lose a fine general. NOW DIE!!" Lu Bu broke the weapon lock, broke his spear and started ramming his spear into the armor of Robert. I went wide-eyed when blood started to spill from the holes in Robert's armor.
I couldn't move. I didn't want to die against some legendary warrior god. And it's in his DW6 form. Who can kill that?! In the game it's easy, but when I look at it right now, it looks impossible. Darrel is already limp next to a broken down tree. Mao Tsu and Lie Tsu looks like they're struggling to get up. And Robert was getting constantly beaten up by Lu Bu's spears. The sword guy...hey, where is he?
I heard a roar in front of me and saw Lu Bu charge with his cross spear towards me. I jumped sideways to get out of his way but his huge black armor grazed my knee, spilling blood in the process. Pain started to spread to my legs and I crashed into the ground. Wait, he wasn't going towards me. The sword guy was running away but was cut in half when Lu Bu did a horizontal slash through the sword guy's stomach. Lu Bu got up from his slash and then...looked at me.
"You're next boy..." With that Lu Bu sneered and threw his cross spear like a frisbee at me.

A/N: Well, well, they try to encourage the slaves to fight with them, but someone had to interrupt. And it was none other than the feared Lu Bu, in his DW6 outfit. If you don't know what it looks like...well, watch youtube or something. Look at some Google pics. You'll see. :)
Anyways, hope people can Read and Review. I'll encourage me to write more. So yes, please do! :D
