The Mori samurai walked out on to the mountain and the Oda samurai trailed behind in grief. The mountain was packed with dark warriors. The trails lined with Death Winds and Arrow Masters. The open fields were infested with Poison Drakes and Mountain Oni.

We approached the base of the mountain, a storm swirled at the top of the mountain; we began the devastating walk. The first trail alone was enough to keep us busy for a while. The Oni attacked first, swinging their razor sharp claws, they sliced Archer up instantly. Leader was blocking the swipes but his sword broke and he was killed while running away. The Oda Samurai began fighting the Archers and Death Winds. They were conquering the little guys while everyone else was focusing on the Oni. Brick was fighting off a drake when a Black Oni came behind him and knocked off Brick's head off with a Tetsu-Bo; the head rolled under Berserker and Berserker tripped, a single Tengu jammed it's sword into Berserker's chest. Wizard summoned a firestorm and disintegrated everything but two Black Oni. The Oda samurai began shooting Earth Strikes and Fire Kanji's.

The Oni remains flew onto the remaining samurai. The Oda Leader was fatally wounded, lying on the ground. "Master, are you okay?" "I will not make it, but the castle is safe, that's all that matters. Bring your comrades up the mountain, I'll see you on the other side…" His last words burned through him, "I will not make it" He regenerated the samurai and commended the dead Oda samurai. We headed up the mountain, the regular trail battles commenced, and we reached a cavern.

We went in, four Cave Oni with Tetsu Bo attacked, the Oda clan waited outside. Wizard and Leader were both killed at the same time; their heads were smashed into their bodies. Swordsman cut off one's leg, it fell over and hit another's foot, it went ballistic and killed it and another. The final one was killed by Brick, who with all his might, knocked his head right off with a Tetsu-Bo. We continued through the cavern entering short battles here and there but the only ones we lost someone at were where Oni were there. Brick was getting used to the Tetsu-Bo, killing enemies left and right, smashing their heads into their bodies. We reached the center of the cave; an evil ritual was taking place.

The samurai all attacked at once but even direct hits weren't affecting him. "MOVE!" said the new Leader of the Oda clan. They gathered in a circle and began muttering words, they opened their mouths and fire busted out, striking it right in the chest, it blew up, only problem was Brick didn't get out of the way in time, he blew up too. Berserker screamed, he took his Tetsu-Bo. "With this, I will fight with honor."

The Oda clan began to shake violently. Their faces changed into demon faces, they began to attack, Berserker killed his attacker first. The battles were intense, except for Wizard's, he just released his dragons. The dragons slashed and bit at the faces of the shoguns, two of the dragons were lost against one shogun alone.

The last one killed the other two. Berserker and Swordsman attacked at the same time, Berserker went for the waist while Swordsman for the head. Memories from the past few days passed through the samurais heads, battles and conversations, Mori is dead, Oda is dead, and a long time ally betrayed them. And Brick, Berserkers best friend is destroyed, Ninja and the episode with Kain. How Berserker himself was almost lost. They returned down the dark cavern trail, the torch light flickering on the cavern walls and ceiling.

Foot soldiers ran down the hall, right at us. Wizard summoned a Lava Wave, but they didn't die. Berserker started swinging the Tetsu-Bo, but it was too heavy, he couldn't get enough power. He pulled out a sword and started slicing off body parts. Blood drenched his face, but the creatures weren't dying, Wizard started pointing at the monsters and summoned huge explosions, it worked. They all backed up behind Wizard, who was blowing all of them up. The blood soaked the walls and floor.

Commanders were running down the hall, Wizard began firing at them but they dodged it and sliced off Wizard's head. Berserker gave the Tetsu-Bo one last try, his power rocketed and he was killing commanders left and right, Archer was shooting arrows into their heads while Leader and Swordsman hung back. Berserker finished off the last two while Archer loaded up on arrows. They could see the light of the end of the tunnel ahead, but it was soon flooded by Arrow Masters and Death Winds. Constantly shooting arrows and fire blades, Archer picked off four Death Winds with precision aiming. The rest killed Swordsman and Leader. Wizard shot blades of his own at random.

The battle was won, and they exited the cavern with excitement, because right in front of them was the front gate to the mountain fortress, of the Dark Warlord. We took a deep breath, and entered. The place smelled of evil, the first room was filled with shadow soldiers and commanders, we reached the main part of the army of the undead. They were as easy as before, Archer killed two with a single arrow. Berserker was getting used to the Tetsu-Bo, he made a massive swing and killed seven of the soldiers. Soldiers were coming in left and right, along with Neanderskulls. Swordsman was gaining back his grace, kill by kill. Leader was killing soldiers and any commander that got in his way.

Berserker hit a Neanderskull in the chest with the massive club, the bones broke instantly, the upper body crushed its legs. The room was emptying quickly, but we lost Leader, he was overwhelmed by the mass of commanders hacking away at his body. Berserker ended that party with a single swipe with the Tetsu-Bo. Swordsman killed a commander with his bare hands, punched his face into his head. Archer shot a commander in the head as he lunged for Swordsman's back. Wizard cast an Avalanche at a Neanderskull and froze him, he just shoved him over and watched him shatter.

A line of shadow soldiers rushed at him, he shot another Avalanche right at them, and watched as the blue wave turned red, the body parts flew all over the room. Berserker stuck the spikes into a commander's head, and threw him across the room, a portal gate lay there. The battle ended, and the portal gate was captured. Wizard's body began to convulse again, he opened his mouth and out came a stream of water, soaking the samurai. But just then, a very old man holding a sake cup stumbled into the room, he dipped the cup to his lips and swallowed. He screamed a terrifying scream, and to the samurais' horror, his skin ripped off and revealed the form of Kain.
