Aegeus panted and wheezed while blood trinkled down his chest, his glare was fixed on Saiho was who bleeding from his arm and head but continue to smirk despite his aching wounds.

Aegeus clenched his teeth trying to move only to fall on one knee due to his wounds aching terribly. The pain was just unbearable for even someone like Aegeus to even handle.

"Come on...Try again" He says rushing towards Aegeus with his Yari spear and Katana; Aegeus charged back holding his Javelin then leap up preparing to stab down on Saiho who leaped towards Aegeus.

Moments earlier

The Alliance and their Kjolrian Allies battled against the remaining Ashigaru and fewer Elite Samurai being lead by Taijin, Aegeus blocked a volley of arrows with his shield as the arrows bounced off.

"Mages! Thunderstorm!" Aegeus ordered the Mages who begin chanting a spell thus creating a mini thunderstorm and lighting striking the Archers post. Thus who were struck dropped to the ground, some even tell over the ledge.

Ivar ran swinging and ripping his axe out of the bodies of his enemies, "Aegeus!' He shouted to him as Aegeus turned to face him and raise his shield up.

Allowing Ivar to run off his shield as he leaped up and slammed down his axe of Jormungander creating a field of ice. The Ice formed into pikes stabbing into the Samurai.

"Forward everyone charge!" Alicia shouted as she raised her sword up. As the Alliance charged towards the castle and under the bridge.

Suddenly smoke bombs were dropped and a few Soldiers of the Alliance and Kjolr were killed by Taijin himself. Aegeus ready himself but Ivar stopped him.

"He's mine..." He says as Aegeus simply nodded and went to support Alicia and Maia.

Ivar let out a battlecry as he charged at Taijin who dodged his strikes, "A Kjolrian your kind are legendary from your Origins to Ancient raids on Eostia and Garca" He says deflecting Ivar's strikes.

"You seem to know my kind..." He says, "I've studied your people as I do with others to know your enemy" Taijin said. Taijin slashed for Ivar's stomach but he leap back and booted Taijin into his chest causing him to flip onto his back then to his feet.

"Impressive!" He says as he and Ivar continue their battle.


Aegeus stabbed through an Ashigaru then shield bashed an Elite Samurai to a wall. Alicia lead over him cutting down one of the Samurai trying to sneak on Aegeus.

"Nice one Alicia" He says, "Try to keep focus Aegeus" She tells him.

Rhoz's cheeks puffed up as he spat out his venom into the eyes of the Ashigaru who screamed in agony allowing Eza to swing her sword in a circle clevering them in half.

"Wah... These guys don't know went to quit" She says, "Master Mason would try diplomacy first but seeing they won't see to reason..." Rhoz said.

Momo jumped over cracking her fists and knees into Samurai faces and bodies leaving them bloodied and broken. Maia order her Mercenaries to take any positions so the Knights of Blood could advance.

Taylor slashed his sword down killing another Samurai while Thokk was enjoying himself by crushing them with his mace while roaring with joy.

"More! More! More!" He shouted with a grin licking his maw from their blood being splattered on his face. He laughed while Taylor watched thinking where did his Brother Aegeus get these people?

Meanwhile

Ivar cutdown another one of Taijin's bodyguards before swinging his axe cutting the head off another. "I must defeat you!" Taijin says shedding his damaged armor as he continue to fight Ivar.

Ivar dodged his strikes and cut down on Taijin's leg wounding him then shoving him back against the bridge. Badly wounded he looked at Ivar as he walked towards him.

"Outstanding..." He says before being cut across his chest as he was send over the bridge and hit the ground. The fewer Ashigaru watch in complete shock and awe as their General was just slain.

Ivar raised his axe in the air and shouted in victory as the Alliance watched as a few of the Ashigaru surrendered and retreated.


Aegeus and a few others went up to the castle to secure it, as they entered they find Saiho cutting down members of Kjolrian, Silver Foxes and some Knights of Blood. Once he finished he turn to face the group with a smirk.

"Yo" He says shouldering his Yari spear, Saiho walked over the bodies swiping his Katana in the air flicking the blood off. "I am Saiho Ojinmura the Yellow Dragon of Iwakumo" He says with a smile.

"I am-" Aegeus tried to introduce himself, "Aegeus of the Silver Foxs...Alicia Artucus Princess of Feoh and Knight of Iris, Prim Fiorrie Princess of Ur and cousin to Alicia, Thokk the Battlebeast and Ivar the Bloodied" He says.

They were surprised at him knowing who they are, "I'm more interested in you Aegeus" He says sheathing his Katana. "This is your Castle?" Aegeus asked.

"Indeed" Saiho said with pride, "I ask you to please surrender, the castle is surrounded so I ask for you to surrender and you'll be treated fairly" Aegeus said.

Saiho begin laughing, "Your going to have to beat me first" He says then Aegeus sighed "I'm not here to fight again...Just surrender"

"As I said you have to beat me" Saiho backhanded Aegeus who took the hit then looked at Saiho "You don't want this fight..." Aegeus begin to warn Saiho.

"Pretty sure I do" He says hitting hitting Aegeus again to which Aegeus caught his fist and punched him back light enough but it still send Saiho into the ground.

"Aegeus!" Alicia said, "I warned him" He said approaching Saiho as he grabbed his arm who groaned then smirked at Aegeus "My turn~" Saiho said punching Aegeus into his jaw.

Aegeus felt like he was just hit by a rampaging beast when Saiho hit him, Aegeus was launched into a pillar as the others watch in complete shock.

"τι στο...?" Aegeus said as his face ached. /Translation: What the

He looked to see Saiho dashed so quick that he appeared infront of Aegeus who rolled out of the way of his knee strike. Aegeus was bewildered the only time he has faced someone this strong would be Armin and Thokk.

Saiho grinned as he drew his Katana slashing Aegeus's armor, Aegeus backed up and looked at the armor that Hephaestus msde him as it had some damage to it.

"Haa whatever armor you got almost dull my sword" Saiho said, He checked his blade as it lost some of it's edge. Alicia and Prim were completely shocked as well as Ivar.

Aegeus is the strongest person they seen but this Saiho just knocked Aegeus back. Aegeus blocked Saiho's Katana strikes with his Shield as he swung his Javelin forcing Saiho to back up.

"Hm?" He looked at the two Princesses, "Haa? what never seen a fight before?" He said then he eyed Prim who was frighten as Alicia placed herself behind Saiho and Prim.

Saiho smirked then resume his fight against Aegeus.

Saiho parry his strike kneeing Aegeus into the stomach then slamming the Katana hilt into his head dropping him. "Come on is that all?...Honestly I'm kinda of disappoint-" Saiho said but Aegeus raised his head hitting under Saiho chin knocking him back then kicking Saiho into his chest sending him back.

Suddenly Thokk jumped into fray as Saiho jumped back as he slashed Thokk's chest. Thokk hissed from the pain then Saiho kneed Thokk under the chin causing him to stumble back and fall.

"Oi one on one only" Saiho said.


Saiho and Aegeus clashed their weapons trying to use their strength to overpower the other. "Ya know I'm glad to meet someone like me" Saiho says.

"Like you?" Aegeus questioned as he backed up, "My Mother was a Dragon Maiden while my Father was a Samurai I think you know where this going" Saiho said.

"But how are you strong?" Aegeus asked them Saiho laughed "When I said my Mother was a Dragon Maiden I do mean she was a 'Dragon' " Saiho smirked.

"What...?" Aegeus was filled with more questions, "My Mother was one of three Ancient Dragons however they went into hiding during the Bushō jidai Era" He says, "My mother took the form of a woman when she met my Father who was one of the Warlords...I loved my Mother but I hated him...After that bastard killed her I did the most reasonable solution I killed him" He says with a smirk.

"You killed your Father?" Aegeus, "Killed and destroyed his entire Clan for my mother hahaha!" Suddenly a mixture of Golden Lighting and Fire wrapped around him as his eyes morphed into Dragon ones.

Aegeus watched with awe as Saiho spoke "Saisho no sutairu: Kinryūnomai" Saiho drew his Katana and zipped behind Aegeus, suddenly a gush of blood burst from Aegeus' chest as he hunched his wound. /First Style: Dance of the Golden Dragon

"Aegeus!" "Nooo!" Alicia and Prim cried out, Ivar gritted his teeth rushing at Saiho who saw him and zipped infront of Ivar kicking him in the stomach putting him down.

"You still breathing?" He asked as Aegeus was panting as he got up then with a battlecry he ran and cracked his head into Saiho's face drawing blood.

Then he slashed at Saiho's arm as he winced from the pain then jumped back then leap up as his Yari spear begin to spark lighting around it.

"Go-banme no sutairu: Raida no ichigeki" Saiho said as he threw his Yari spear at Aegeus who moved as the Yari stuck into the ground causing a bolt of lightening to strike breaking much of the stone ground. Aegeus held his wound as he panted as his eyes begin turning to their dark/purple theme of Nyx.

Saiho dashed at Aegeus who moved from his Katana stab as Aegeus tackled him and begin to rain down punches into his face as he then grabbed a hold of his robe as Aegeus threw him onto the roof.

Saiho winced from the pain as he sat up and crossed his legs, "Nice nice" He says dropping down reclaiming his Yari as he and Aegeus clashed their blades more.

Their weapon making small sparks as their weapons clashed as Saiho went to for a slash Aegeus moved to the side to which Saiho smirked as he begin to walk with Aegeus staring at him and following.

"I'm the son of a Dragon and you Aegeus-kun?" He says, "A God..." Aegeus answered wiping his blood off of his blue marking.

"Heh...A tattoo or something?" Saiho asked, "Just a marking" Aegeus said. Aegeus stabbed down into Saiho thigh as he cringed in pain then Aegeus ripped his Javelin out switching it into a Spear as he swiping against Saiho cheek.

Saiho wiped his cheek as his wound begin to heal, "Not bad but I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut this short" Saiho said as he begin tap the Katana's tip to the ground three time a sound that only Aegeus could hear.

Aegeus grew annoyed as he thrust spear into Saiho who bleed but grinned "Maboroshi tsuki no mai" Aegeus felt his body beginning to feel heavy as he fell down as he his chains holding him down and begin to burn into his flesh.

Aegeus cried in agony from the pain whoever unknown to him Alicia, Prim and a slowly aching Ivar watch Aegeus whose struggling to get up without anything truly holding him down.

"It's called a Genjutsu an illusion haha...well I had fun but" Saiho said swinging his Katana down only for Aegeus to grab his Katana. His hand morphed into Nyx as he pushed the blade away and upper cutted Saiho.

Saiho clenched his jaw from the hit as he flipped onto the roof, "Damn...Not bad" He says wiping his mouth as Aegeus glared at him huffing.

"Heh...I guess we'll have this fun another time but next time try to a bit harder" Saiho said as a wave of fire engulfed him and he disappeared.

Aegeus continue to huff from the pain as he bleed, "Málaka..." He says.
