"From what we heard, the Oda Army is closing in." Yukimura informed everyone. "They are currently being led by Mitsuhide."
"My father...? Really?" Gracia asked with a worried tone.
"Mitsuhide Akechi. The right hand of the Devil King. They may have finally taken notice of the rapid growth of our forces." Sima Yi said.
"Which means they'll go straight for the one holding the bracelet." Chunhua added.
"Y-You mean me?" Naotora replied timidly.
"Yes. No doubt about it. We have to protect our key advantage in the battle with both Nobunaga and Zeus." Perseus answered back.
"We will protect to Lucian." Sabata said.
"You're right." Lucian said.
"I will keep Naotora's Bracelet." Raiden said.
"Report! Sima Zhao and his allies are attacking!" the soldiers said.
"My sons and Wang Yuanji, hm?" Sima Yi asked. "I suppose this was to happen eventually."
"Yep. Those Sima Zhao and Sima Shi." Malcolm N said.
"I don't know." Lucian said as he change to Moonlight Knight. "Let's get going."
"Right." Raiden said.
"I must to the enemy." Alucard said.
"Alright, let's go!" Ross K said.
The heroes charged out into the fight, as they moved out from both the northern and southern gates of their base, with Chad D's group sticking close around Naotora.
"They've got quite the formation set up, brother. How shall we proceed?" asked a man in blue like Sima Yi, but carried a rapier as his weapon.
A Genius Seeking his Destiny
Sima Shi
"If it were me, I'd have everyone coming from all sides, brother." Sima Zhao suggested lazily.
"Very well, then hide yourselves, and prepare to ambush the enemy in a pincer attack." Sima Shi agreed, as Sima Zhao, and a blonde woman in blue, wielding throwing knives in her hands, immediately moved into formation.
As the heroes advance towards Sima Shi, he readied his rapier for combat.
"That bracelet isn't something you can use. Just hand it over." Sima Shi told the heroes.
"We need that power. We won't let you have it!" Yukimura roared back.
"I see, in which case... Zhao! Wang Yuanji! Aim for the holder of the bracelet!" Shi ordered his brother, and the aforementioned knife user.
"What the? You cannot hit me." Malcolm N said.
Chad D and his group immediately rushed towards both Zhao and the woman, as they clashed with each other, with Chad D personally duelling Zhao himself, and Dougal J taking care of the knife-wielding partner.
Sharp Witted Beauty
Wang Yuanji
"Woah, where did you come from!?" Zhao exclaimed in surprise.
"My lord, it seems that the enemy has left some of their officers in defence of the bracelet holder." Yuanji stated.
"I'm sorry, Sima Zhao. But, the only one thing to be your team!" Chad D told Zhao, as he parried Zhao's strike back, knocking the saber-user back slightly. "Are you two alone? Not a chance!"
Chad D then immediately raised his blade, as it was swapped with a large sword that radiated magical energy, before he tehn threw it like a boomerang, as the sword swept across the area in front of him, with the sword catching and tearing all the enemies in his path, before it disappeared, Sima Zhao was brought closer to Chad D, allowing him to follow up with a slash combo.
"My lord!" Yuanji stated, before she barely managed to avoid a barage of ice needles from Dennis S, only to step within her range, as she was slammed with a Ice Sword strike to stomach, before then kicked away with an upwards kick.
The two of them immediately charged their opponents, and relentlessly struck them down, until they were forced into retreat.
"No need to push things too hard... Best to fall back for now." Yuanji said with a defeated tone.
"Phew... I think that's enough. I'm just doing to quitely take break somewhere else." Zhao sighed, before he and Yuanji bolted away from Chad D and Dennis S, who did not pursue them.
"Now then... Who's next?" Chad D stated, before turning to the rest of the group." Get back with Naotora and keep her protected."
"At once, Chad." Dougal J said responded back, at the rest of the group immediately returned to cover Naotora.
"Wait, I saw her." Lucian said.
"What?" Raiden said.
"Who's there?" Alucard said.
"Um... Will you to protecting the bracelet?" Naotora asked before they saw a mechanized boy with light pink hair float down.
"Oh...I guess he wasn't that strong after all." he said.
The Mechanized Boy
Nezha
"The one with the bracelet is here? I want to fight them." Nezha asked, before turning to the heroes. "Come on, tell me where they are, and tell them to use the bracelet, or I'm not going to stop breaking all of you. I'm getting bored of dealing with that person in green."
"Oh no." Naotora said as he change to Aphrodite.
"Your funeral." Nezha smirked. "Guess you guys are next."
"Naotora, wait!" Malcolm N said.
"Oh, so there are some interesting ones among you all. However, I only want the bracelet holder." Nezha stated, as he scowled sligthly at the posed challenge.
"I won't give up!" Naotora said.
Nezha immediately charge at Naotora, as both of them traded blows with each other.
"Dang it, now what?" Lucian said.
"But, where's Rene?" Malcolm N said.
"She's not coming." Ross K said.
"My my, you're putting up a better fight than the one on the ground." Nezha remarked, as his clash with Naotora continued. "I guess that some of you might give me a good challenge, like the bracelet holder."
"Wait!" Rene D said. "I got the bracelet! We already now."
"But who else can give a decent battle?" Nezha responded back with a mocking tone. "Truth is...I just want to fight strong warriors at all."
"Well, if you ask him. Then let the Flower Star!" Rene D said as he change to Flower Star. "Shall we begin?"
"Is that so? Proclaming your own strength, when you haven't overcome me yet." Nezha stated. "You mortals do have quite the confidence in yourselves."
"You see about that. Flower Storm!" Rene D said as she slashed at Nezha in the flower of crystal.
Nezha was knocked back significantly, as he flinched as well, as he fell to the ground. When he got up, he let out an amused laughter.
"Heh, I guess that there is someone among you, who could actually give me a blow." Nezha said with amusement. "Well done, indeed. I think that I have had enough for now. Now hurry up and corner Nobunaga."
He then disappeared in a burst of light, leaving the heroes alone in the base.
"He's gone." Rene D said.
"Rene!" Naotora said.
"I'm here." Cassey S said.
"Welcome back." Lucian said.
"This is bad. Mitsuhide he just arrived reinforcements." Rene D said.
"Oh no!" Ross K said.
"Father's finally here? Hopefully we can convince him to stop this." Gracia said.
"Here they come." Lucian said.
"Be careful." Sabata said.
The Rebel army made their way to Mitsuhide as they fought throught soldiers and Chaos Origin alike.
"Those soldiers are nothing. I fight for my lord!" Mitsuhide said cutting down several soldiers with his sword.
"This end now, Mitsuhide!" Cassey S said.
"Father, why is the side with Nobunaga?" Gracia asked.
"I will not say. That will be something you would have to ask my lord." Mitsuhide said.
"It has to be..." Lucian said.
"Don't worry." Alucard said. "I got this."
"Fighting me without weapon? You certainly are brave, vampire." Mitsuhide said striking Alucard.
"Ha!" Alucard said countering with a sword as he clashed Mitsuhide back. "Sorry, but something like a sword isn't going to break through my skin."
"His body is as hard as granite... What are you?" Mitsuhide asked.
"Die!" he said striking against Mitsuhide sending him flying.
"Even I cannot cut down such a vampire. Apologies, my lord." Mitsuhide said as he and his forces fled.
"We did it!" Moses M said.
"You three!" Ricky G said as Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji approached.
"Okay, okay, we give up! Man, fighting's a pain anyway..." Sima Zhao said.
"Mother. Father. I'm so sorry." Sima Shi said.
"Laid back though he is, his stategies could rival mine, and maybe even yours...with the right motivation." Sima Yi said.
"Still, who was that boy? He was not human." Perseus said.
"Of course. He was a legendary warrior Journey to the West. It was rumored the once he finished his work in this world, he was brought to the Mystic Realm where he became a cyborg." Sabata said.
"Oh no, this is so bad..." Lucian said.
"What should we do?" Raiden said.
"We have to the power again, will never catch the power!" Lucian said.
"Wait." Nero said.
"Nero?" Lucian said. "Fine."
"Let's go back to the camp." Nero said.
"Yeah..." Lucian said.
