Chapter 4: Lightning Strikes and Fairy's Tail!

Which battle should we take today? I think I'm gonna interrupt the Wu storyline. But, still... Is there no way to transform Orochi back to his former self? The guy's desperate for gods sake! He's been looking for death for a millennia and all he got are worthless scumbags! No offense to the warriors

"Hm... Which battle do you think would be awesome?" I asked Yukimura's bro, Nobuyuki. He thought about it as he bought up his hand to his chin, "We said that we were in the neutral side, so I'll say we go to Cao Pi- not from DW8-" he said to the other Prince of Wei, "-but from DW5. 500 gold coins and 300 battle points for each battle. Or just the plain old village rescuing as we need to take our own plans to action"

Ah, the Price of Wei... I just adore Cao Pi in the DW8 classy outfit of his! He's awesome in that. One of the best outfits ever, but he does have a point though, "Might I tell you that Orochi's force are looking all over the place for our Orochi? Because of you returning visions of his old self, they're in a panic attack" Motochika said

I shrugged, "Nah, it's ok. It's a rare sight to see Orochi panic like that. So yeah, it's worth every second" before long I pressed the fight button. They all entered their respective stances before running out of the house. I sit back on my comfy sofa and enjoy the game

"Maybe I should have not saved Zhao Yun... The Demon Army are pretty sure I'm in the resistance..." I thought as I controlled Nobuyuki, "Wow! SW4 isn't out yet but I'm already playing as Nobu-chan! Haha!"

Meanwhile on Koshi Castle...

The Sleeping Dragon, Zhuge Liang was surprised by the news. Orochi had just slaughtered his own henchmen because of this imposter Orochi appeared. It was very interesting, as no one, including Daji had seen him so weak. So vulnerable and fragile just by this imposter

He looked at the snake from afar. It would seemed he had calmed down for now and was just sitting on his throne as his soldiers cleaned the mess of their used to be comrades. Daji was speaking to Kotaro as Zhuge Liang tried to eavesdrop on them

"You've meet this imposter Orochi?" Asked Daji to the shadow ninja, he nodded in confirmation, "That is correct, it seemed like he was in an organization called... The Black Parade, they repelled our soldiers with ease when they were hunting for human flesh" Kotaro explained. Daji!a eyes narrowed, "With how ease?" She asked him. He looked as if he had seen a ghost for a second before calming down, he was the ghost for gods sake! He was always so emotionless, and he looked like he was running heavily like the devil was hot on his tail

"Reports said that a single warrior took out a small army of 1000 of our soldiers, the same goes with the other warriors from the mercenary... Maybe more so" Zhuge Liang's eyes had widen, a warrior that could take on an army of a thousand demons? These warriors might be as strong as Lu Bu!

"You're kidding!" Daji said before taking a deep breath, "Alright then, I need time for a break. I'm going to Honnoji and send a certain Demon King a small... Message" she said before using her powers to disappear. Kotaro went into hiding again

"It is very... Interesting. Warriors that could match Lu Bu in battle" he thought as he made his way towards the dungeon until he was stopped by Orochi's soldiers, "Halt, state your business" he said, "I merely wish to speak with Lord Liu Bei, that is all" the soldier nodded before saying, "5 minutes only" before letting him through

He entered the dark prison as he looked for a specific cell, it was rocky but was well kept in condition. Some of the lords of the other worlds were prisoned too, some were sharing the cell because of it being too small. Lords and officers, all the way to lieutenants and infantries.

He founded he destination after a few minutes of walking, a man in green armor and another in red armor was sitting on the ground, "Zhuge Liang" said the one in green, "Lord Liu Bei, and greetings to you to lord Sun Jian" he greeted them both. Sun Jian nodded, "I have a very... Interesting information about an imposter Orochi and this band of warriors called the Black Parade" he said

Liu Bei perked up as he heard that news, "An imposter Orochi? That's certainly is very interesting but who's side is he on?" He asked his former strategist, the Sleeping Dragon shrugged, "I'm not that sure, and this Black Parade group also has an interesting background. It seemed that the imposter Orochi had joined forces with them, and all of their warriors could rival Lu Bu in strength" he said

Sun Jian's eyes widened, "All of them!? That's impossible!" The strategist shook his head, "That is not true, nor wrong. For now it's only a rumor as I heard them from Kotaro's ninjas. I will only believe when I saw it for myself" the door from the entrance opened as a yell was heard and said, "Times up" Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I will keep you updated with this particular group, until we meet again my lords" before going back outside.

Back with Nobuyuki and Gang

"It seemed our mission today is a bit hard" Rachel said as she looked at the statistics of the quest floating in midair. The battle field was Wujun, DW8 style. Rumors said that a "mechanical" warrior was facing off some demons in this part, but it seemed the battle field itself was rather... Different as well. It looked rather modern, actually it was the same stage as Rachel's Wujun but much more modern technology were in place

The victory plan was that they save this person by killing the demons and not let him be defeated. What's worse is that they were in Orochi's territory so they were cautious of the scouts lurking around

What made Nobuyuki worried is that the person silhouette of the warriors' seemed rather familiar but not from the WO, SW or even DW characters as he remembered the empty slots in the character menu.

It was also hard because they all had became well adapted to Nikky's fighting style that they all now can move freely on their own. Her fighting style is more on the offensive than the defensive, but if she took the defensive side she's also a great barrier. Maybe rivaling Cao Ren himself, oh wait scratch that. Cao Pi remembered her rampage when she was using Zhang Fei on the battle of Chang Ban in chaos mode... Uh, the horror...

"Alright, anyone got any question for this mission?" Lu Xun asked as no one raised their hands, Cao Pi raise his hand, "Are we so sure that Ultimate mode is best for is? Even if we do get experience, we're still in a pretty low level compared to the others" he said Nobuyuki nodded, "That's right, so that means that they enemies will be much stronger than the ones before" he said until they all heard Nikky's voice

'Yeah... Since Ultimate mode is the new and highest ranking of the difficulties, I wanted to try it out but I forgot that I have you guys as my main team... Not to mention we don't have a reset button, only a retreat button. Not to mention again, if we retreat then this battle will be lost forever! We have to win no after what!' She said as all of the characters sighed, "Geez, can't be help the-" Motochika then had a light bulb floating on his head

"Let me guess, Nikky sent you her plan for what we're doing" it was a statement from Cao Pi, not a question. Hearing that made him smirked, "And it's not a half bad plan either. One of the reasons why she picked this battle is that if we completed 3 objectives, just like from DW6, we would get prices. The pop-up message just appeared a few minutes ago and that made her brain filled with war working strategies"

"I see, alright then. We shall talk about this objectives, so what are they?" Lu Xun asked as Motochika explained them, "One is that we save all of the villagers, there are 5 in total and since Rachel is the fastest of all us she'll be our horse for nearby villagers. It'll give us 900 BP and 10000 EXP for each member in this team" she had a twitched on her brow before nodding in understatement

"Two is that we not have 15 minutes rather than the usual 90 minutes but that's enough time for us with a price of 550 BP and 5000 EXP. The last is the hardest..." He said as he frowned at the idea, "Impress the said officer to make him or her join us by fulfilling his/her wishes in battle within the time limit" everyone's eyes widened as he said that, "I know, I was actually thinking that this game is pulling more games from her collection. The price is the highest: 1150 BP and 20000 EXP"

Cao Pi sighed as everything topped moving, it was a sign that the road was their base, "Alright, everyone got their strongest weapons?" Asked Motochika as Nobuyuki and Lu Xun switched their old weapons to the same but much more stronger weapon. The rest nodded, "Very well then. Lets go!" Motochika yelled as Red Hare appeared out of nowhere and Motochika grabbed into its saddle and the rest disappeared out of sight

Motochika used Red Hare as he zoomed in towards the nearest villagers which was in the forest, there were actually 2 inside but the others was not near them. The shamisen player stood up from his horse as he jumped high up in the air while creating sound spheres that fell on the enemy while waves were bursting them out, "It's the Black Parade!" Yelled the villagers as they cheered.

Motochika took care of the demon army easily as he dodged and hit before one of them slipped away, "Shit, if he informs us we're here then-!" Nobuyuki appeared before the running soldier as he sliced him in half before nodding and disappearing again, "Alright, 4 to go" Motochika said as he was replaced Rachel and ran fast.

She hid behind a tree as a Demon soldier was passing by, the scout looked around the surrounding area before passing on as Rachel just ran behind him, "Huh?" He asked himself as he looked behind to see no one, "Must be the wind" he mumbled before walking again

Rachel shoot machine gun gun towards the village as she hid herself up in a tree, the villagers panicked at first before they realized that the guns were not doing at them as they ran towards the insides of their houses, the demon army was in pursuit but was killed by her gun shoots. A pop up message appeared near her as she continued to hide up in the tree

Demon scout nearby! Remain cautious!

'I swear, this game is becoming more and more chaotic. Pulling the elements of another company's game inside too, Konami's Metal Gear' thought Rachel as she looked up to see a "Press O" sign, 'Should we kill him like Raiden killing normal cyborgs using the Ninja Kill?' Asked Nikky with a very hopeful voice, 'No!' Everyone said as the soldier passed by, 'Aw... But that would be so awe-' , 'We said NO!'

Rachel jumped down as she tried to ignore the talking inside her head and went to the other villagers, 'Rachel! Hurry up,10 minutes and 53 seconds!' Said Motochika as she ran faster, 'I know- shit! Kotaro Fuuma!' She thought as she stopped and climbed into a tree fast

'I wish we have Seimei or Sanzang, we could easily fly across without knowing' Cao Pi complained as the others could only nod, 'Agreed' they all said as the gun wielder moved from tree to tree, apparently Kotaro didn't noticed them thanked god 'There! Villagers!' Nobuyuki said

"I'm on it!" Lu Xun said as he replaced Rachel and quickly slashed the enemies with his swords, 'These weapons are not good as melee weapons but can't believe they're good in assassination' he thought as he moved in a blur and slashed an enemy from behind, "How many made that now?" He asked, '3' Cao Pi replied

"Shit" he said as he was replaced by Rachel again and ran towards the last villagers. They were lucky that the last remaining a were together but then a pop-up message came into view

Demon scout nearby! Remain cautious

"Should I kill him?" Asked Rachel as she was replaced by Cao Pi, "I think... We can" the Prince of Wei ran towards the soldier from behind as stabbed him like Raiden killing a cyborg officer, 'Ah... That feel better, now onto the villagers!' Nikky said as Cao Pi shook his head to see his surroundings, "Please don't tell me she took control of me" he said as Nobuyuki was about to say something, 'Yes she did and I said don't!' He hissed before Cao Pi ran towards the remaining villagers

"Oh you have got to be kidding me" he muttered as there were lots and lots of Gyūkis near them. As soon as they got there, however, Nikky's screen blacked out as it showed a cut scene

Cutscene

A mysterious cybernatic man was slicing off the bodies of the large Gyūkis as the ground and his sword were both filled with blood if demons as the groups approached them, all of the members were present as they widened their eyes to see who was him

Ash blond hair, blue eye, left eye patched, cyborg body, dripping sword with blood... There was no mistaken it, "Raiden of Metal Gear: Rising Revengeance..." Motochika said as the said man looked towards them and raised his sword, "You ain't harming the villagers any further than this" he threatened as Cao Pi stepped forward

"Relax, we there were more villages scattered around the battlefield but we saved them all excluding the one you just saved. We're here because we heard someone was fighting ere and so decided to help you out, Raiden... Or should I say Jack?" He asked as the cyborg's hand gripped the katana tighter

"Heh, you even know my name... If you want me to believe you then here's a rumor" Motochika sighed silently as he asked Raiden, "What is this rumor then?" while thinking, 'This must be the requests'

Raiden "hmphed" before pointing looking around, "In a castle somewhere here, there was supposed to be a wizard that can summon spirits from another world. I'm here to save the guy but since you lot showed up, I'm giving him to you" he said as Nobuyuki gulped, a wizard from another world?

'Now it's summoning anime? What's wrong with this world!?' Lu Xun thought as he face palmed. The white haired man stepped forward as he said, "Very well then, we'll do it" he said as Raiden held his finger up, "Also... You have 5 minutes to find him, soldiers said that they'll move him somewhere else. Maybe I'll add another 3 minutes to you guys to get here with him" Rachel's eyes widened as she gripped her axe tighter

'The strongest warriors we have is Sterk who is in level 500 while the rest is still 300 or below... Even for the warriors who are in level 300, we need to get stronger and reach at least to Sterk's level! Higher the better!' She thought as she nodded, "Alright then, everyone! Lets go!"

Back at home

Rachel's right... We need to get stronger, the only reason why Sterk is level 500 is that his move set is good for short to long range attacks... Oh, how many do I have now? I had a lot of skirmishes that I grew bored with them but at least I got lots of points... Maybe I should at least make them level 500 like Sterk.

For the skirmishes, I picked Chaos mode because it will get me more points so: Easy = 100, Normal = 125, Hard: 150, Chaos = 175, and Ultimate = 200. I would pick Ultimate but I was not so sure about it before

"She does have a point" Susano'o said I nodded, "I know, I currently have 2170 BPs from the skirmishes I had before. I'll use them for Orochan who'll have 200, Cloud 200, Yuki-chan 200, Chiyo-chan 200, Tai-chan 200, Shennong 200, Wen-chan 200 and uh... How much was is that'll ready?" I asked as Lu-chan replied, "7 x 200 = 1400, and 2170 - 1400 = you have 770 more"

770 more huh? Then I'll use it on Lu-chan herself, Susano'o 129, Lu-kun 114, Nobu-chan 198 and Ina 50, and then I ran out for the rest... Tama-chan though... I'm not sure about her for some reason... Oh well, I'll think of it later after the battle. I'll level up the guys I said before and continue to peel up the Collab group

Back with Rachel

2 minutes and 7 seconds until the Wizard is transported

"Just where the hell is this castle!?" She yelled to nobody as she kept on looking from one garrison and castle to another but to no avail, 'Calm down, you're a ninja... Look underneath the underneath, that's what Kakashi said... So if I'm the enemy, and wants to hide a wizard then it'll be...' Rachel looked at her left as she cuts down some of the bushes that was in the way to reveal a hidden passage way, 'Alright, Rachel!' Cheered everyone as she just smirked and ran

'Did the request said anything about being exposed to the enemy?' Asked Rachel as she heard Motochika's voice, 'Nope, since we've already clears our objectives we can go wild!' He said as the rest of the group appeared beside her. Rachel's smirk widened as she readied her guns at the incoming enemy

"Wah! Intruders alert!" Yelled one of the soldiers as one of the generic Wu officers widened his eye, "Its the Black Parade!" He yelled in excitement but somehow managed to cover it up with fear, "Out of my way, swine!" Cao Pi yelled as he thrust his sword forward to make a stream of sharp ice

"Cao Pi! Ready!?" Nobuyuki asked as the prince of Wei smirked, "Same weapon? Special move, Nobuyuki!" He said as his said was covered in ice and wind whille Nobuyuki was covered in fire and lightning, "Here we go! Twin Blades Cross Slash!" Both warriors yelled out as they both made a cross slash at the enemy using each of their blades

It set out the elemental attacks as the enemy were either burned to death, froze to death, sliced to death or shocked to death. Even with them at a low level of below 300, they're more than a match for weak soldiers such as them. Since they have adapted to Nikky's fighting style, they all can now control their own body if was given permission by her

'Nikky! Motochika and I will take care of the wizard!' Lu Xun said as he set we a message, Nikky replied, 'Okidokie! Self-awareness, activated!' She said as Motochika and Lu Xun can now freely now their bodies, "Alright! Motochika! Lets go! 1 minute and 29 seconds!" He yelled as the shamisen player nodded and ran inside the castle while the others were fighting the soldiers, 'So he already made his move. Alright then...' , "Rachel! Cao Pi! It's up to us to make sure the enemy's eyes are on us! C'mon!" , "Understood!"

With Lu Xun and Motochika

Lu Xun could only widened his eyes at the person in front of him as she was in a wooden cage, hands tied behind her back asleep, "You've got to be kidding me.. Lucy Heartfillia of Fairy Tail?" Motochika mused as he nodded to the other boy who sliced through the cage easily, Motochika grabbed her before hitting the ground while protecting her from any splinters or sort

"Alright, we got her. Lets-" Motochika widened his eye before jumping back as something smashed to the ground, it was a huge shuriken, "I was wondering when you'll show yourselves, Black Parade..." A voice mused out from somewhere as Lu Xun gripped his swords tighter, "Kotaro Fuuma... Just come out already so we can beat the crap out of you" he said as Morochika chuckled slightly

"Unless of course... You want my song to kill you?" Motochika offered as the Winds of Chaos finally made an appearance before them, "My, such blood thirst... I'm already beginning to like you..." He said as his gauntlet stretched and shot them towards each party, Motochika jumped back as his hands were tied by carrying the said wizard. Lu Xun jumped high as he aimed his swords towards Kotaro

He shot both of them as they were engulfed in flames, but Kotaro avoided them easily, 'He's a ninja, Rachel's the best woman we have to fight against them...' He thought a he looked at Motochika before yelling out, "Motochika! You go to Raiden now! You only have 3 minutes and 18 seconds left! Hurry!"

The shamisen player widened his eyes before calming down and nodding, "Then I have one request for you... Don't die" he took off with both his instrument and the girl as Kotaro aimed his gauntlets towards them but was blocked by Lu Xun, "Sorry... But your opponent is me" he said as readied his swords

'Nikky, please let me have this fight' he said as he felt the girl doubt him for a second, 'Ok! Beat up his ass!' She yelled. Kotaro could do nothing be chuckle, "Oh? Very well then, I'll just have to kill you first before the rest of your pathetic group!" Lu Xun blocked his gauntlets with his swords as he wrapped them up around the blade and used all of his might to pull the ninja up and spinning him up before smashing him on the ground again

'Whoa! Lu Xun! You're strong! 5 % of health lost!' Yelled Nikky as he get himself smirked, 'So far so good, alright then...' He thought as he got into one of his musou stance was was his second musou attack. Legs spread part from each other, arms in a cross near his chest

Kotaro got up as he dusted some dirt off his armor, "Not bad, boy. Rumors of the Black Parade are true, they are strong... But can dodge this!" Kotaro ran in top speed towards him as Lu Xun closed his eyes and gathered up his musou energy, 'Lets try this!' , "Flaming Elbow!" As Kotaro was just in front of him, Lu Xun used his elbow to hit his stomach as as flames began to engulf the ninja and sent him flying back

'Nikky, why did you change the name of the technique?' Lu cum asked her as she pouted, 'I forgot the names, so I made up some. I'll do the same with everyone else, so don't worry!' She said as he sighed before looking at the Kotaro who was now standing up, "Interesting technique, now it's my turn!"

Lu Xun avoided his gauntlets as he barely escaped it, his clothes were slightly ripped on the shoulder part as he saw a drop of blood cling out of it, 'That... Was faster than before...' He thought until he felt weird somehow, a paralyzing feeling was running through his veins

"N-no w-way! P-po-poison!?" He thought as Kotaro chuckled as nodded, "Of course, that poison is actually a paralyzing substance. It blocks your brain with the nerve system so you will not be able to move. Even one drop will able to paralyze you fully, now lets have some fun shall we?" He said as he took a step closer towards him

'Move dammit!' He ordered his body but it showed no response. Kotaro smirked as he punched the Wu strategist until he was sent flying back, 'Lu Xun!' yelled Nikky along side with the group that was with her, Lu Xun. Tried to stand up but it was futile as the poison was still inside his system, "Oh come now... Stand up!" Kotaro stepped on his stomach hard as Lu Xun cried out an agonizing yell, "Gah!"

The ninja continued to torture as he kicked him towards the side on his waist that sent him flying somewhere off again, before kicking his face, 'Lu Xun! This is bad! Your health was reduced to 50% and because of the poison it fastened the decrease of the health bar!' Yelled Nikky as she was frantic, , 'Lu Xun! Let me control you! You're not strong enough to overcome the poison and it also my fault for picking Ultimate Mode!' She yelled but Lu Xun refused to listen

'No way... I-I can hold out...' He said as he tried to now again but nothing happened, '... Alright then... I'll believe you' she said as she went quiet again, "This is the Black Parade? They say that you managed to kill off an army of 1000 alone with just one of your warriors, I guess it's just a rumor now if you can't even defeat me" he chuckled as he pulled out a knife, 'It's your fault that our reputation is ruined' Lu Xun heard Orochi as he said that

Kotaro stepped forward towards the Wu strategist that was still on the ground, "Now... Scream for me!" He slashed Lu Xun's stomach as blood was gushing out of it as he tried to grit his teeth, again and again Kotaro slashed his body. From forehead, to shoulders, to arms, to chest, to legs and toes. Lu Xun's body was covered in his own blood as Nikky was now extremely worried

'45 % of health loss... Lu Xun!' She yelled, but his stubborn attitude kept on holding his pride, 'N-Nikky! I know... I want to... F-finish t-this battle... M-myself' He said as she was about to complain again but was stopped by him, 'Please...' He said. Nikky was struggling to either trust him or forcefully take control, but his voice was desperate, '... Just... Don't die' she said as he nodded while trying to reach for his sword which was near him, but couldn't. Kotaro lifted his hand up with the knife, "Say farewell... Black Parade"

CLANG!

Home

WhatdoidowhatdoidowhatdoidowhaydoidoWHATTHEHELLAMISUPPOSEDTODO!? Lu Xun you idiot! Why do you want to finish the fight yourself!? This is bad, I cant control him because I granted him to freely control his body! If I want to control him again then it's the opposite effect, I have to ask him if I can control him! But also! I can't say no when he sounded to desperate!

"Calm down! Nikky!" Yukimura said but I can't! Lu Xun is dying here and we don't have access to hi-

CLANG!

What the... Lu Xun! He's standing up! Wih one of his swords! It's a cutscene! But wait... His right hand, the one holding the sword... It's growing red symbols!? A pop up message appeared as it read

Congratulations! You've unlocked Lu Xun's ultimate form without going trough Strikeforce mode!

Wait what? The strongest outfit? I thought the strongest was still in the shop which was the most expensive one! "The strongest 'outfit' we have is not in the shop you see" Joan explained to me as Shennong continued, "Rather, through a special action and the use of Ultimate Mode, we will achieve our full power which is level 1000 and gain a special power along the way!"

"WWWHHHAAAAAAAAAT!?" I yelled as Lu Xun was chuckling to himself. I watched the cutscene like I was a nerd listening to a teachers explanation, "No way... This is... Kotetsu Sangokushi!"

Back with Lu Xun

Insert OST - Crimson Wings -

Kotaro's eyes were in shock as the bloodied Lu Xun was standing up, holding one of his sword in his right hand, "Thank you for trusting me, Nikky. You've passed my test" he said as he looked at the sky, "Now. Kotaro Fuuma..." He raised his right hand as a red glove appeared with white markings on it, "Lets see the power of the Heredity Seal!"

His right arm began to engulf itself in fire as his sword turned crimson gold, he disappeared from sight as he appeared behind him and slagged a wave of flames towards the shinobi who barely escaped death by performing a substitution technique, "I'm not done yet!" His hair began to grow longer like the one from Strikeforce but instead of yellow, it had 3 streaks of red hair in each side. The white tattoo under his right eye began to glow as she swung the blade instantaneously towards the shinobi.

Kotaro was having a hard time avoiding all the attacks as his feet were slightly burned, 'He's faster!' He thought a he saw the other boy's wounds closing up, he jumped back just in time to avoid a thrust of his sword, "Regeneration... Only demons and mystics are able to do that" he said as the youth just smirked while his body was covered him red feathers

His clothes differ greatly now as his top looked exactly like yet strikeforce costume, but instead of red and yellow it was gold and red. The feathers on his shoulders shone brightly as his right arm was exposed, revealing the glove that reached his shoulder. His bottom part was like from DW7, with an extra long, golden cloth covering his groin. His shoes were brown with an additional red wing on each foot.

What surprised Kotaro the most was his back, crimson wings spread gloriously as it carried the man to attack he shinobi again, "I am not demon nor mystic" he said before combining his two blades into one, it merged together as it transformed into a flaming long sword

He disappeared from his sight as he charged forward, only to appear again behind him with a finishing stance, "I am human" he said as Kotaro was completely engulf in flames and fell down to the ground. Lu Xun also fell to the ground as he exhausted himself, 'Too much... Stamina lost...' He thought as he closed his eyes

End of OST

He didn't realized that Kotaro was still alive even after a burn like that, managing himself to stand up was he worst possible situation but-, "D-da-damn... B-brat!" He said as he tried to stand up, even with his fire-proof armor the flames of the boy was too strong and too hot. He amazed to stood up as he stumbled towards him, the short knife in his hand.

'The Black Parade... Such a dangerous group... I have to at least eliminate one of its members' he thought as he raised his knife, aiming to kill the boy

A shadow appeared as Kotaro was kicked back to the opposite side and was smashed into a wall, "Ah, that was a close one..." Kotaro looked at the new arrivals to see it was the same man that carried the girl away, he was with someone else though, "We've done enough, lets go" said the other man as he carried Lu Xun on his back. Motochika looked at the shinobi as he said, "Tell this to everyone, will you? The Black Parade will rain among those who held the truth, and will shine upon then who has lies" with that, he disappeared trough the gate

Back with the Gang

"Raiden, thanks for saving Lu Xun for us" Nobuyuki said as the cyborg nodded, "Well, I did said that I'll believe you if you managed to get her. Never thought it was actually a girl though" he said as he looked at the blond girl who was now awake

"Once again, I thank you for saving me" Lucy said as Rachel just shrugged it off, "It's a pleasure, Lucy. Anyway, we should get going" she said to the rest of the gang who nodded, "Hold up/wait!" Raiden and Lucy said as Nobuyuki looked at them, "What's wrong?" He asked as Licu was searching for something in her pocket before giving a small sack of something to him, "As a token of appreciation, and I'm not taking no as an answer" she said as she just shove it to him

Motochika was about to protest but was cut off by Cao Pi, "Since you said that, sure we'll gladly accept your gift" he said as she smiled and thanked them once again before leaving, "And you?" Cao Pi asked the cyborg, "I have nowhere to go, so I want to join you guys. That ok?" He asked as Nobuyuki's eyes widened, "Sure! The more the merrier!" Rachel said as he smiled, or trying to. With a metallic jaw, it's a bit hard to smile, "Thanks, so where's your HQ?"

Home

Congratulations! You've unlocked "Army"! Here you can make an army with UNPCs!

I stared at the pop up message as I Nemea was beside me, looking a the same message, "Well... You should check that mode out" Shennong said as I nodded and saw a new menu which was "Army" in the character option. I picked it as another pop-up message came

In Army, you can organize UNPCs to be your army! Each characters had their own specialty on doing their best thing so be sure you pick the right one for battle!

I looked at the characters... So far there's 3 characters in each selection of Other 1-2, Wu, Shu, Wei, Jin, SW 1-3. Not bad I suppose, sadly I can't play as them... Oh well, at least we have an army now

We heard the door being opened as we looked at the people who entered it, it was the team! "You guys came back! So how's the mission?" I asked as everyone was giving me an "are you kidding me?" Look

"So this is your leader? A kid?" Raiden asked as he looked at me while the rest of the group nodded, "Yes, whys that?" I asked him, Raiden looked at me like he was scanning me before patting my head, "Just don't make the wrong decisions, that's all I'm asking" he said. Just as I thought, Raiden has a father complex because he himself is a father! It actually feels nice

"So your plan is to infiltrate the Sky Castle and look for a few books in the library, alright then. When will that happen?" He asked as I looked at Susano'o, "Hm... We still need time before we can launch our plan on the castle, but tell me-" he said as he pointed towards the sack, "What are those?" Cao Pi answered, "These are our special reward for saving Lucy, I believe they are called Lacrima and we can merge them with us" he said as my eyes sparkled, "I call for ice" he quickly said as he picked up the glowing blue Lacrima

"Huh? How ironic, I was about to give you I've myself. Let me decide on the others" I said as I spread them out. There was a purple one, poison, red fire, brown earth, green wind, darker blue water, yellow lightning, darker green is wood, orange-brownish lava, darker purple sound, white light and black shadow...

"Oh, difficult decision here. We combine them with our warriors then they'll be able to use magic as they please? Hm... Ice will go to Cao Pi, Lightning will go with... It's either Nemea or Ginchiyo but I'm not so sure... The least control of lightning is Nemea so I'll give it to him, Poison will... No, Orochi already has venom" I thought as I have Nemea the yellow Lacrima, "Ina, you'll take poison! That way, you'll only need to hit an enemy with one of your arrows" I said as she nodded and took the purple stone

"Water..." I said out loud as I looked at Taigong Wang, "Yes, you have a fishing rod right! It's connected with water!" I said as I tossed him the water Lacrima, "Wood, will be... Shennong. With this you can control new plants!" I said as he nodded and took the darker shade green, "Zhao Yun, you're ok with wind right? Your move set relies on swift movements, quick stabs and slashes" I said as he nodded and took the wind element

"Motochika, you're pretty much the only person that can play music so I'm entrusting Sound to you" I said as he nodded and took the darker purple one.

"Fire, Lava, Light and Shadow is left... Joan? Light is ok with you?" I asked as she nodded, "With pleasure" she said as she took one. So the only ones left is the fire elements and shadow... "Lu Lingqi, which element would suit you best?" I asked as she looked at the remaining stones and thinks, "I believe it's... Fire, my move set can be short range to long range as I can use fathers weapon like a boomerang" excellent point, Lu Bu's daughter. You have a grey sense of battle skills

"Lava and Shadow... Raiden, shadow ok with you?" I asked him as he looked surprised before nodding, "Understood" lava is the last... Hm... Lavas the hardest to choose, oh well. I'll just give it to, "Yukimura, you take Lava and Earth will be Rachel" I said as he paled a bit before taking the stone. Rachel nodded and took the stone, "Wow... Might be harder than I thought" he said as all the stones glowed before they floated and entered their bodies through their chest

"Whoa! Cool!" I said as they disappeared within themselves, I asked Rachel a question, "Do you feel anything?" She looked at her hands before placing it on the wall as everyone was curious to what power the Earth can give. Her eyes widened before a large bump was created

"Strong!" Sterk said marveled at the damage created. I know right? It was like he wast using her full strength! I smirked, "With this, our dream will be fulfilled! Now on to the next battle!" Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy as I chuckled, "This time, it'll involve some... Certain things, hehehe" everyone suddenly paled at my laugh as the touch screen appeared in the air

"Our next battle will be escorting the famous 'Sinful Crown'!"
