We were the only ones in the shrine room, Brick, Archer, and Leader, the other four were scattered around the castle, Ninja, Swordsman, Berserker, and Wizard.

The words of Shenerite hovered in our minds. How are we supposed to win a battle in which are enemy is the undead. As we went down the stairs we heard the screams of our fellow comrades, when we reached the bottom, Swordsman was covered in Dead Foot Soldiers. Leader and Brick rushed in for a melee attack while archer stayed back to shoot arrows. They weren't all that strong, not to us anyway.

Swordsman got up, "Thank the gods you have arrived, I have fought long and hard, my strength is spent, I must now rest in the shrine room." We waited five minutes until he returned. We entered the next room and came across the body of Shenerite's wife. Soldiers were behind the dressers; you could here the nasty sound of their breath, sounding like the gasp of a suffocating man. We went for the sneak attack, but they could hear as well as an Eagle can see. We evaded and conquered, blood was everywhere. Blocking and stabbing, it was surprisingly tiresome, but we could take it pretty well.

After the battle, we stopped for a moment to meditate, to heal our wounds and regenerate our dead. We went into the next room, Skeleton Archers flooded the corridor, shooting their arrows constantly, but Archer was able to break most arrows with his own. Brick took one in the shoulder, the head, the chest, two to the leg, he didn't make it. We fought valiantly, every archer Swordsman took out, his sword went through like a knife through butter. After the battle, we collected our treasures from the dead. Minutes later, after healing Brick, we headed downstairs.

All that was left of our army was the bloody massacre, which lay before us. We went through a door, which led to someone's bedroom. A single Skeleton Archer was there, the Swordsman easily killed him. We went through the next door that led us to a little temple room; the priest lay before us in a pool of his own blood. We then discovered a new enemy, a Shadow Commander, the toughest yet. He was accompanied with fourteen Dead Foot Soldiers, and three Skeleton Archers. Brick ran up with his Polearm, blocked and chopped the Soldiers up, Swordsman fought with such grace, he could have been blindfolded and still not receive a single scratch. Leader and Archer were gone, killed by the Shadow Commander. Brick got his ugly face with a blow to the top of his head, while Swordsman went for the waist, he then fell over, and his head split in two.

We knelt next to our comrades and prayed. Minutes later they were up and ready to go. We began our journey into the living room. We went through a door and fought seven D.F.S.; we then went in to the next room and fought two Shadow Commanders, four D.F.S., and two Skeleton Archers. We began our battle, most fierce yet. Brick went his own way with the D.F.S., while Archer and Leader went for the Shadow Commanders; Swordsman went for the quick and easy target so he could help Archer and Leader fight the Shadow Commanders. Swordsman fought his best and destroyed the Archers in ten flat. He went to help the others but ran into the sword of the Commander, impaling him. The Commander nailed him to the wall and grabbed his katana. Brick chopped off one D.F.S.'s head, another gets it in the stomach and the other tries to flee but ends up in fire, he runs around until he burned to death. The other is tough, really tough. But luckily Archer got him with an arrow in the back of the head. Brick went to join his buddies in a ferocious battle against the Commanders.

One Commander has honed his accuracy, but the other has gone for power, his blow is so powerful, he broke Bricks Polearm. Brick flees to get a spear, runs back and impales him with such power, he was able to stick him on the ceiling. Archer's arrow goes into the other and shoots him to the wall. The battle was surely intense, but they survived. They revived Swordsman and collected treasure. The room was not a pretty sight. Blood drenched the walls and ceiling, impaled bodies, burning corpses. Near the stairs stood their Wizard, "Ah, you have arrived, keeping the enemy at bay has drained my Ki. I will go back to the shrine room to meditate."

We went down to the final level of the castle. There they met Berserker and Ninja. "We keep killing them but they keep coming back. We will rest in the shrine room." They waited a while and brought their men out. They walked forward and four Neanderskulls attacked them and seven Skeleton Archers. Archer decided to pick off the Skeleton Archers one by one, while the rest of them were to kill the Neanderskulls. Archer got out without a problem, but everyone else had trouble. Ninja was killed in one hit by the Neanderskulls gigantic hammer, Leader has been decapitated, and Swordsman has a crushed shin. But he still fights hard, but then a Neanderskull raises his hammer but Brick saves him with a quick sweep maneuver with his new spear, the monster falls back, drops the hammer right on his head in an explosion of bloody bones. But the battle was not over; nowhere near it. They had to get rid of the other three. It happened eventually. Brick tricked one of them into smacking down into rotted wood. Another got blasted with Earth Spears summoned by the Wizard. The Swordsman's Sunshard killed the final one. They began to pray to tend to their wounds and their dead.

They then venture farther into the first floor. And there's the general of invading forces, Buaku, behind the wall. He began his attack with a fancy front flip and ends by chopping Bricks head off. He then goes for Wizard but he stops him with an electric barrier of some sort. So the fight begins with Wizard throwing an arc wall at Buaku but Buaku dodges and throws a Fire Kanji at all of them. Swordsman goes for the head while Leader for the body; he uses a Lava Ring to stop them. Archer is shooting arrows-which is the only thing affecting him-and then goes in for his first melee attack. Lands it in his head and body with a back fist to an elbow. He then grabs a small knife and jabs it into his stomach. He staggers back a moment, but is soon enraged and charging, but Archers magic stops him with an Earth Strike.

Buaku flies and smacks into a wall, a gaping hole in his chest. Brick picks up his unique weapon, with Buaku's Blade in one hand and a Katana in the other. They headed outside after praying for the lost ones. The first fight was simple, just a couple of D.F.S. and a Skeleton Archer. Everyone went for the D.F.S. first but Brick and Ninja got their first. Right before connection, an arrow ripped through Bricks brain. Ninja is horrified but fought strongly; he killed one soldier with a sword, another with an Ice Kanji. Wizard killed four with a baby Lightning Dragon; it slashed and stabbed and shot deadly lightning blasts out of its mouth. The Wizard concealed the dragon and we moved on into the inner citadel.

At the portal gate, Shenerite appeared, "The Dark Warlord's sorcerer is in the outer citadel, stop him before he can summon reinforcements." He disappeared, then a rush of seven Commanders, four Skeleton Snipers, and twenty D.F.S. The Wizard summoned all of his dragons and a conductive spell, entomb spell, flammable spell, and a drown spell on the entire army. He became very weak, and was soon taken out by a Skeleton Sniper with a well-placed arrow to the neck. Luckily, the spells didn't go with him, he's the only one who can summon dragons. All of the Commanders were slaughtered by the dragons' attacks, but the drown, flammable, entomb, and conductive spells really helped out. The soldiers overwhelmed them, the dragon fatalities of the soldiers was nine. Brick, Ninja, and Swordsman dominated the battlefield, Archer, Leader, and Berserker attempted to take out the snipers; none of them made it, only one sniper was killed.

Brick picked up a soldier, spit on him, and threw him on a fence pole, the wood ripped through the monster's stomach, not killing it instantly, exactly Brick wanted to happen, he wanted him to suffer. Swordsman and Ninja just wanted it to end, the way that Swordsman was swinging his sword, it seemed like there was no resistance, even though the bodies flew. Ninja loved stabbing techniques, Brick likes to impale people, and Swordsman just wants to hone his swordsmanship skills to perfection with variety. Ninja used a Lightning Kanji on the snipers. They started to pray. They then opened the gate, an explosion of all elements instantly killed six samurai. Wizard ran back through the gates and prayed, seconds later they busted through the gate, wounded and half dead. He revived them; then jabbed his katana into his own stomach, the others revived him to full health.

They ran into the outer citadel and saw the Sorcerer, he created the explosion, he made another but we evaded. There were Skeleton Archers, Thunderskulls, Magi the Majin, Vanguards, Elite Guards, and Death Winds. We went for the Vanguards and Elite Guards first, Brick impaled seven Vanguards and three Elites. Swordsman again fought valiantly, Archer killed anyone he shot at with a single arrow, nailing them to posts and walls. Wizard cast his dragons and drown, entomb, flammable, and conductive spells, but was able to fight with much force. Ninja fought with his arsenal of melee and ranged weapons and magic. Berserker slaughtered everyone he came by with a short sword and bare fists; that is until he reached the Sorcerer, he just smiled and waved his hand, Berserker screamed as his skin was being ripped from his bones, blood and bones lay in a pile of mangled flesh. Leader stared at the steaming pile of his former fighting friend; he didn't think he could be revived after that.

A Thunderskull came up behind him and smashed him into a wall with his electric hammer; Leader was gone. Brick finished off the last of the Guards, he ran to join his remaining comrades in the battle of the Death Winds, and the wheels on their arms generate electricity and give them the ability to shoot lightning balls. The dragons were slaughtering the Thunderskulls, though the fire and electric dragons had been smashed, the other two finished off the remaining Thunderskulls. That's when the Sorcerer decided to finish everyone off, he first went for the dragons, he threw a Sunshard and an arc wall, and he finished off all the samurai but the Ninja with another elemental explosion. The Ninja ran for his life through the inner gate.

He began to pray, but since he is the least religious, it took a long time. At one point he gave up, but Shenerite came and gave him the courage to pray more, eventually, everyone came back to life, everyone but Berserker that is. They went out and killed the Black Winds; Brick impaled two and stabbed one with the spiked wheel on her arm. Leader chopped ones head off, and Archer killed two with a single arrow. Their next target was the Skeleton Archers, they were simple, like always. Then their mortal enemy stepped up and blew up a horse stall. He then aimed for Archers head, it blew right off like he had just swallowed a grenade, and blood soaked the samurai, the Sorcerer just laughed. Brick ran at him and nailed him to the wall, Majin just laughed, "What's so funny you heartless bastard?" Brick screamed, "You humans, you think that poking me with a child's toy is going to kill me?" Majin said casually. He created an electric barrier and sent Brick flying across the courtyard. He pulled the spear out without flinching, "Who's next?" he dared. "All of us!" said Leader. They charged but were knocked back by a Lava Ring. Wizard cast his dragons and relating spells, the Majin had a look of worry, but he countered the spells.

The dragons sliced and diced him, and we charged in for an attack, each of our swords went into his chest, he was burned of fire by the Fire Dragon, fried by the Lightning Dragon, scarred by the Earth Dragon, and was burned of extremely cold gusts of air, the Sorcerer's screams were said to be heard throughout all of Yamato. They began to pray but in their hearts, they knew Berserker was gone. After an hour of praying, they quit. They walked out side, a barrage of Kappa's attacked, biting and hitting with their bone clubs. Archer had a hard time hitting them with arrows because of their speed, so he took out a Wakizashi and sliced up the Kappas with his new weapon. Brick picked them up and threw them onto trees and fences, the Wizard used a katana to pick them up and whip them over his shoulder; Ninja, Leader, and Swordsman did their normal routine.

From behind the bush near the gate, right next to where brick was, came two full-grown Kappas. "BRICK, BEHIND YOU!" Brick looked at him but didn't have time to look behind him when one picked Brick up by the head, the other grabbed his legs, and they pulled in different directions, they broke him in half. They threw his body parts at the samurai, looked at their babies and screamed. Some of their heads were split open; others were impaled on tree branches, a horrible thing for a mother and father to see. They swung their gigantic claws at the samurai wildly. Swordsman got slashed and fell over and Big Momma stepped on him. The others stared in horror while Swordsman screamed. They began to run only just in time, Archer shot his arrow into one of the monsters eyes, it swung even more wildly than before. Leader came up behind it and sliced his leg off, but the monster fell backwards and the spikes on the monsters shell pinned him to the ground. Archer, Ninja, and Wizard jabbed their weapons into its stomach.

The other caught them by surprise, they forgot about it. It chopped off Wizard's head off and slit Archer's throat. Ninja fell backwards onto his back, he tried to crawl away, as he turned his head, the monster let out a ferocious ROAR! Ninja closed his eyes and waited for the flesh-piercing claw to cleave his skin but it never came, he opened his eyes and saw its head on the ground, and there stood Berserker, holding his sword on the monsters shell. "You're alive, thank goodness you're alive," Ninja said, "But how were you resurrected, we gave up after an hour?" "Shenerite came down and prayed for me." Berserker replied. They prayed for the others, Leader took a while, but he came back.
