The Make-A-Warrior Story... The Beggining...

"Cao Cao... Sun Jian... Liu Bei... Nobunaga Oda... You have beaten me..." Orochi says just as his insides begin to inflate and explode creating a huge hole. Cao Cao walks with Dian Wei at his side towards the hole. Suddenly a man carrying a huge scythe breaks out of it.
"What foolish world is this?! Heh What ever I'm out of here." He suddenly dissappears.

"Wha what was that Cao Cao?" A woman standing next to Zhen Ji says. Her beauty rivaled that of Zhen Ji herself.
"I have no idea." Cao Cao replies.

"Lord Lu Xun that man was scary looking." A Girl says standing next to Lu Xun she grips his hand in fright.
"Heh its ok Mystic. Its ok.." He says petting her head.

Suddenly another man crawls out of the hole. Two warriors whos Honor and Justice emerse out of them grab their weapons and charge him.
"Da *bleep* up with yo?" The man says.
"What did he just say." The man carrying two katanas asks the other warrior.
"I don't know..." The man replies.
"Da *bleep* I'm at?!" The strange man asks.
"What are you saying?! Do you speak human?!" Katana man says.
"Yeah I do... So where am I?" Weird-o says.
"Oh... Koshi Castle. The remains of it." The second man replies.
"Koshi Castle? You actually defeated Orochi?! Woah! Thats big... But now the real test will be.. Who will rule this grand land the great serpent Orochi created? Ahhh... Only time will tell. By the way you may want to remember my name." He claps his hands and disapears. Suddenly his voice appears again. "Singe..."

"Who will rule the land?" All the major lords think in their mind. Almost immediatly all of them raise their fist.
"I WILL RULE THE LAND!"
"Hehehehe so it begins..." Singe says once more.


The question on everyones mind is... "Who was the man wielding the Scythe." And "Who will rule the land?" And Finally. "Why was Singe wearing a hood? Is he really that hideous?"

Chapter 1, The Coming of Destruction, Prologue.

A demon, that came from the Neatherworld itself, appears out of nowhere, creating a huge pillar of flame. He emerges from the flames, and makes heavy footsteps.

So, this world has already been merged by Orochi. And, it's plagued with humans! Hmhm, it's time to make them wish that they were dead!

With that, he raises his hands, and out comes his minions of Darkness.

Rise!, my brethren! Rise and kill those wretched humans!

The demons came from the ground, with their hands up in the air, and emerging from the flames. Afterwards, the person points to the place where the humans are at.

All units, exterminate the humans found in Koshi Castle!

He was currently at Wu Zhang Plains, where it all begins for him.

Artirtico

He found himself on the ground, lying face up, eyes closed. Something soft was cushioning his back, comforting his aching body. He opened his eyes, staring straight upwards into the clear, stary sky, something that he had not seen for quite some while. The bright light of the near-full moon lit up the area around him. Turning his head slightly, he discovered that he was lying in an area covered by Heathers, each of the coloured flowers gleaming in the moonlight. He reached up, running his fingers through his now filthy, unwashed brown hair. Moving his hand downwards, it passed over his chin, revealing course stubble, gained through not having a chance to shave. His other arm reached out, grasping the hilt of his sword, a medium sized blade, slightly curved at the end, with simple decoration embossed into it. He located his other sword, identical to the first, holding it in his other hand. He raised his shoulders up off of the Heather blanket, peering down at his tired body. The gold decoration on his pale blue armour was barely visible, needing a good clean after all the fighting that had taken place. He managed to get to his feet, enjoying the feeling of the cool, light breeze blowing past. There he stood for some moments, taking a rare chance to take in the feeling of complete calmness and ease. The light breeze and the delicate scent of the Heather soon re-invigorated his senses as he played through the events that had happened hours before...

-

He, Artirtico, was standing with a large number of other generals and comrades over the dying form of what was Orochi. The black mass imploded, forming a huge crater in the ground below. Orochi, the enemy of the coalition forces was finally defeated and the officers that remained could finally return home to peace. Artirtico however, knew otherwise. The four supreme commanders - Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Nobunaga Oda had already begun eyeing up their fellow leaders. This conflict was far from over. With men such as those around, the war would never end, each of them squabbling over power. Artirtico decided to get away from them as fast as he could, before one of them would inevitably ask for his services. Sure Artirtico had gained the respect of some officers and would gladly put his life on the line for these individuals, but never would he fight for those who wished to dominate all others, eliminating all so that they could claim the ultimate rule over the land.

About to move, Artirtico halted, seeing people emerge from the crater Orochi had created in his defeat. Even more to worry about. Artirtico moved to where Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were standing, nodding to each of them, before looking right, his eyes meeting with those of Lu Meng and Mystic. All four knew that he would now be leaving. Finally he walked up to Guang, placing a hand on his shoulder and giving a slight smile.

Artirtico then ran, ran with all he had to escape from the commanders he hated so much, having to endure working with them to bring Orochi down. He knew that chaos would once again ensue when each commander left the presence of the others, planning on how they would move to eliminate their rivals. Still running, he pictured instead those who had aided him in this life and the other beforehand, savouring the pleasure that their smiles and company gave him. Nothing would bring him down when he thought like this.

Eventually, his body gave up on him, his eyesight bluring, his legs cramping up, his breathing heavy, rasping. Artirtico collapsed to the ground, happy at the large distance he had already put between himself and the coalition forces.

-

He stood now in the place where he had fallen earlier, gazing up into the sky, now ready for what was certain to take place.

MysticBlaze

Only darkness that she saw. No light at all. Everything is so dark, scary, and frightening. Somehow, she saw Orochi, the Demon King. She ran away as fast as she can. But it was futile. And finally, Orochi swing his weapon.

NOOOOO!!!!!

She shouted in fright, left hopeless. Suddenly, a gentle touch woke her up from her nightmare.

Mystic, are you alright? Having a nightmare, don't you?

She opened her eyes, as she saw Lu Xun, the one who save her from nightmare by woke her up.

Lord Lu Xun, what happen?

She felt dizzy, as if she lost all her memory. And now, she wanted to gain every single of her memory.

Orochi's finally defeated.

Really?

Yeah. Thanks Mystic

Huh?

If it wasn't you, I won't be here now.

What do you mean?

Don't you remember? You protected me from Orochi's explosion when he finally defeated. That's why you fell unconscious.

Now she remember everything. Yeah, she was MysticBlaze, the one who followed Lu Xun where ever he go. Now, Orochi was defeated. That's it! So... why did she have a dream like that?

Lord Lu Xun, it's seems funny, but you know? I dream that Orochi is still alive. And he wanted to kill me. I'm so scared.

Maybe... he wasn't Orochi. He was...

I... don't want to meet him! No Way!

It's okay Mystic. I'll be here by your side

He hugged her closely, calmed her down. Then, as they loosed thir tight, Mystic take her Twin Dagger. And bleed her hand with her dagger herself.

What are you doing!?

Lord Lu Xun, I will follow you until all of my blood has all gone. This is my oath, and if I break this, I'm willing to receive the greatest punishment.

Lu Xun take a bandage and wound her hand.

Thanks Mystic. But please don't do that anymore. It hurts me when you hurt yourself. You protected me from Orochi, that was a decisive prove. Please, don't make me worry so much.

The two stood up

You know, Mystic? I'm so lucky...

Huh? Why did you say that, Lord Lu Xun?

Even I'm just an ordinary person here, you want to follow me. You make me feel anything is possible with you by my side.

Lord Lu Xun, I'm just a follower. I'm nothing but a useless fighter. If I can follow you, it will be me who was very lucky.

The two smiled each other. Now, they're facing the dark sky, and walking through it. Following where their destiny would lead them. They don't know that every step will surely lead them to a new journey.
Two Man of Honor and Justice. A Mysterious Hooded Man. The Creator. A Queen of Beauty. And the Demon from Neatherworld...

Singe reappeared at The Ruins of Koshi Castle. He walked around for a bit as if he was looking for something. He suddenly saw what he was searching for. He picked it up and then dissapeared again. He reappeared at Edo Castle. A now untaken grand castle.

"This is where I shall begin my journey." He said suddenly launching himself to the castle roof. He then took out the thing he had taken from Koshi Castle. It was a tooth.
"Orochi... Your tooth will help serve my purpose... But first I need... three volunteers to sacrifice themselves."

He then closed his eyes concentrating. "They're still around Koshi... But what three to take..."

Sorry to interupt you, guys...

"If you know so much, perhaps you should be giving the answers" Cao Pi snapped at Dian Wei who had been defending Cao Cao's lack of answers on what they had all witnessed.
"Or perhaps you should find them for yourself, rather than asking others" Dian Wei gruffly responded.
"My lord" Zhen Ji Stood up and placed a hand on Cao Pi's arm "This in-fighting will accomplish nothing. We know the answer to who will rule this land, You my lord, the Kingdom of Wei will rule supreme"
A woman who had been sitting next to Zhen Ji stood up "But what of the mysterious man with the Scythe?Surely we should concentrate on him?"
"No" Cao Cao said "We must concentrate on eliminating those other forces, we can not allow them to rule this land. That pesky Liu Bei and the despicable Sun family can not be trusted to rule this land. We must take them all out, and take this land for ours!"

Knowing that her suggestion of looking for the man with the Scythe and the other strange warriors would never be accepted, the young woman slipped out of the room and into the fresh air. The night sky was clear, clearer than she had seen it in a long time. Yet looking down at the ground she could swear it was covered in blood, the bloodshed of years of war for land, war against other leaders, war against orochi. Maybe it was actually there, maybe it wasn't but it looked as real as the ground under her feet. She closed her eyes and looked into the sky again. Fighting didn't make her nervous, she was skilled, she knew that. She could take on almost anybody. These so called great warriors, Lu Bu, The Sun Family, Cao Cao and Cao Pi,even Orochi, none of them scared her, and faced with them as an opponent she would gladly fight. But still she wished she wouldn't have to fight, that this continuous spirit of war would end, that the world could live in peace. Whether done in the name of honor, or justice, or defense, wars brought nothing but death. There had to be a way for this to end. If only people wouldn't insist in carrying on this worthless battle. She thought about those she was allied with, Cao Cao, His son, Zhen Ji, the rest of Wei, all they wanted was to rule- were these people the ones responsible for carrying on the battle. Then again, wasn't it everyone? She thought back to as soon as their was an opportunity to rule the land, all the leaders had raised their hands, all began eyeing each other suspiciously, all probably returned to their land to rally their armies. Orochi may be gone..but there were these new mysterious warriors and this battle for the land.
She brushed back strands of dark hair that had flown in her face in the wind. She knew this spirit of war would last much longer, perhaps her whole lifetime. She needed to be ready for what was coming. if war, fighting was the only option, then she'd be sure to be the best at it.

A well, let's get it on!

Sleva prolouge!



Sleva sat there among the flowers. His hair covered his tired eyes as he gently stroke his pencil above the ground. The winds blew slightly, and everytime his paint touched the ground a new set of flowers sprung to life. The sun was shinning brightly today, and there wasn’t more than just a few clouds to be spotted. A tear ran from Slevas cheek, ever since he merged these lands for Orochi he had been alone and forgotten. He stroke his pencil once again, a new set of flowers came to life.
What was it that made him agree to the serpent kings request? Ever since the dawn of time, Orochi and Yama,the serpent king and the darkness had fought to see whom was the strongest. Even though Orochi had eight heads, each one representing the elements which shaped the world, and the strength of a thousand men, he could not beat Yama. For this reason, Yama was granted control of the underworld and declared the strongest of the two.
In an attempt to overthrow Yama, Orochi sacreficed seven of his heads. He putted all of the heads on a stake, and tied the hair together. From the elemental power which was craved within Orochi made the heads turn into a pencil, the celestial pencil. This pencil had the power to create anything the wielder wanted, but the wielder had to have a great fantasy, willpower and creativity. For this reason Orochi summoned Sleva. A boy with no outstanding feets. He promised the boy gold and wealth, and as much pleasure as the eye could see, if he could help him overthrow Yama. Orochi and Sleva entered the underworld and faced Yama. They lost.
Yama told Orochi that he wouldn’t give the throne of the underworld to someone who simply lusts for power. To rule the underworld you must have power.
“ Slay 100 of the greatest warriors of time”
He said.
So it happened, Orochi manipulated Sleva into using the celestial brush too merge space and time, and making the Japanese Sengoku period and the Three kingdoms period of china clash.

The flowers was prettier today than before. So was Koshi castle. Who would guess that as soon as the heroes of the age had slain Orochi, Sleva and Koshi castle was abandoned.

Sleva led his eyes to the sky. Again tears was running down from his eyes. He had had the same expression in his face for days, not able to feel anything, not able to smile, not able to cry. Just look emptilly on the world as it slowly smudges by. A new set of flowers appeared around him, these were more beautifull than the others. Flowers you could never imagine, in all kinds of colours. Some flowers were purple, with a yellow shine around, other flowers were black with fires blazing out of the centre.
Sleva had turned into an emotionless zombie. Manipulated by Orochi, and left to rotten in Koshi castle by Wu, Shu, Wei and the Oda, Sleva could only gaze. He could not respond to other peoples smiles, he couldn’t smile himself. He expressed himself through the Brush. But the expressions he made was left hollow and mysterical.

“Are you alone little boy?”

A voice said. Sleva didn’t turn around, he simply swung his brush making more flowers appear.

“Oh my! did you make these?”

The voice was getting closer. Sleva looked to the ground and nodded.

“Hmm? Surely, someone with such skill must be an exelent warrior! Like me!”

“What are you talking about?”

Sleva lifted his brush into the air, the white aura around him turned black and bursting.
The man behind him muttered.

“Wa- Wah what? I didn’t mean to insult you”


Sleva lowered his brush. He smiled faintly.

“You didn’t… why are you here?”

The man waited a second, but then he replied!

“Well me! I was riding away together with my wonderfull lot and Cao Cao when I suddenly spotted this wonderfull miracle… I must say! You’ve got talent!”

Slevas eyes opened, he stared straight forward. Did he just say that? did he? No one had ever said that before.

“Th-th- thank you”

Sleva said and blushed. The man behind him got closer, Sleva could hear him breath. He breath was slow and gentle, he had a warm presence, he was almost like a huge teddy bear, so coozy.

“You have a good heart”

Sleva turned his head to the man and smiled. The man smiled back.

“Now then… how about a game of Kemari?”

The man suddenly changed the subject.

“Kemari?”
Sleva asked. Both of their faced turned into questionmarks.

“Yes… Kemari, you know… sports”

“I don’t like sports”
Sleva turned his face away and grabbed for his pencil. His expression had turned hollow again.

“Oh come on! It will be fun. Don’t you want to play with me?”

“Play?”

Sleva turned back to the odd little man. He was smiling, as if he really liked Sleva. Sleva smiled again, this time with a face that said yes.

The day passed. In the middle of a field of flowers Sleva and Yoshimoto was kicking around on a Kemari ball. They were laughing, smiling. Everytime Yoshimoto dropped the ball, Sleva picked it up again for him and pretended that it didn’t happen. Yoshimoto also told Sleva about his dreams and fantasies, even about his secrets. Sleva told about himself aswell, as he was feeling safe together with Yoshimoto. He felt like he could chare everything with him. At the end of the day, many new flowers had been painted in the field, beautifull flowers.

The moon shone brightly and Sleva and Yoshimoto were lying in the mids of the flowers. They both stared at the moon. They didn’t say a word just layed there, quietly. The first time in years Sleva smiled, smiled of joy. This odd man at his side was something really special. Sleva, his paintbrush, the kemari ball and Yoshimoto, they belonged together. Sleva sat up.

“You know… Yoshimoto”

Sleva said. Yoshimoto sat up aswell. Sleva looked down.

“Yes?”

“I-i… The moon is pretty today isn’t it”

“Hmm?”

Sleva was making circles in the ground with his finger. His face was turning red.

“You- you you’re really something special…”

Yoshimoto smiled.

“Thank you… again...”

The two sat there and stared at eachother among the flowers, the wind made the petals blow by them, gently stroking their cheeks. As a sign og peace. The moon gave the flowers a bright blue shine and Yoshimotos eyes seemed like glowing suns in the shine. Their eyes met. They smiled. Blushed. But they didn’t laugh. A petal blew by them as Sleva closed his eyes. And soon, their lips met.

Singe looked out from within the castle he had just made his home. He took his hood off and brown hair came falling down over one of his eyes. His face was gentle in a way but the scowl on his face showed he was angry about something. Suddenly a small bird flew towards him and landed infront of him.
"How sweet..." He said as he watched Yoshimoto and Sleva kiss. "Be ashame if Yoshimoto were to say... die. But that boy. His paint brush.. Is the one that made this place." Singe slammed his fist on the railing infront of him. Another bird flew towards him. "Heh... Zhen Ji... Balambgirl... Cao Pi... Yes..." Singe then dissapeared towards the Wei camp.

Chapter 1: The Coming of Destruction, part 1

Spawn looks towards Koshi Castle, which is quite near Wu Zhang Plains.

Witnessing the fall of Orochi. How senile and foolish. What naive humans, always letting down their guard. Now then, all forces, march to Koshi Castle!

But, they first had to traverse through the Wu Zhang Plains, in order to get there.

Hmm, there are still followers of Orochi around?

He looks on, but sees that they are not snakes. But, they are demons, like himself, but of a different kind.

Those demons...they are not of Orochi...nor are they of mine...whose are they?

He starts to advance towards Koshi Castle, sending countless souls to their doom. Slaying person after person, he learns of whose demons were those.

Taira no Kiyomori...what is he doing here, in this world? What is his purpose?

He looks towards his figure and starts to dash towards it.

Artirtico

He had been walking now for hours, still heading away from Koshi Castle. The sky had already began to cloud over, the pale gleam of the moon being obscured. The cool breeze faded, being replaced with a muggy heat, uncomfortable to be within. Yet Artirtico still walked on. He had to get there before the chaos once again polluted every good thing in the world. It had already begun, even as Orochi fell, between not only the coalition commanders but from other beings, new to this world. Just who were those individuals that had emerged from the hole that Orochi had created? Something rising from spirit of such a demon could never be a good thing, so therefore he must get there, keep walking, keep going.

His reserves of energy fading, he again called upon the memories of those he had become close to, their smiles filling his mind with a feeling, so relaxing yet so energising. Worry tried to break into his mind, fearing what would happen to those he had left behind at Koshi Castle, but he knew they could look after themselves. They would have the sense to leave that dreaded place, even if it was in support of another less respectable individual, so his fears calmed and a serenity returned, encouraging him to walk on.

His mind drifted, imagining his destination. The small clearing, surrounded in willows, with a small stream flowing down one side. Tranquility. The wildlife, unaware of any threat that humans may possess, freely wondering around without concern and the small area in the center, set out simply and naturally to house a single being. Home. Here was where Artirtico had found himself when Orochi had intially brought him to this world, bewildered as to what was going on, being offered another chance to live. Perhaps he would have prefered to remain as a memory in time. From then on, no human other than himself had ever set foot in this small haven, which he soon developed into a place where he could come between the wars. Amongst the Willows were fruiting plants, providing him with all the nourishment he would ever need, with the stream supplying an adequate water supply. A diary was housed within this area, detailing each and every event that had happened during his first and current life to date. Nothing mattered more to him than that book.

A spasm of something passed through him, a feeling of worry, of danger, prompting him to suddenly awake. He found himself once again on the ground, remebering not when he had stopped walking. He had to get there quickly for something felt wrong. His composed nature overcame his worry for now, so he set off once again in the direction of home.

The two continued their journey. But, they just reached the Wu Zhang Plain.

Mystic, don't you feel tired?

No, not at all. Don't worry, Lord Lu Xun.

If you're tired, we can take a rest here.

This place looks so scary, Lord Lu Xun. How about we leave this place as soos as possible?

It's okay with me, but how about you? You seems so tired.

I'm alright. Don't worry about me.

So the two walked again. Then, they saw something.

Do you see that, Lord Lu Xun?

Yes. I see some demons.

So, OROCHI STILL LIVES AFTER ALL?!

No, those aren't Orochi's demon I think.

Lets just run away from here before we get killed.

You're right.

Lu Xun and MysticBlaze run away as fast as they can, without being realized by those demons.

We must find help as soon as possible.

Yeah, but who should we believe? There aren't anyone that we can trust now

No, I'm sure we can find someone here!

Mystic looked her surrounding, when she saw someone there.

Lord Lu Xun, there's someone there. I want to talk to him, Maybe we can ask his help, I mean, where we should go.

Okay, I will go to.

If he's our villain, you'll be in danger, Lord Lu Xun. Let me speak to him. So, if he's really our villain, he won't harm you.

Are you sure you'll be alright?

Lord Lu Xun, I'm not a baby, so, I'm sure I'll be alright. Promise!

Okay then, Mystic.

So, Mystic get nearer to that man. He wore pale blue armor, with some gold decoration on it. He hold two sword on his hand.

Hi there!

That man shocked. Looked who had called him.

Artirtico?!

Chapter 1: The Coming of Destruction, part 2

As he was marching towards Taira's forces, he saw three beings pass by him.

Where are they retreating to, I wonder? Hmhmhm

With an evil grin, a lightning struck and he dissappeared. At the other side of Wu Zhang Plains, Artirtico, Lu Xun, and MysticBlaze were all resting, due to all the running.

Hey, Artirtico, where are you heading?

I'm running away from these power-hungry commanders. If they wish to dominate others, then I will not be part of their army. Ah, Lord Lu Xun, I see you retreated as well.

Yes, we had to. There was still some sort of demonic aura in the air...and we weren't going to stay around and see what it was.

BOOM! A lightning hit the ground, near they were resting. And, Spawn appears again.

Hehe, where do you think you humans are going?

It's...it's the demon I saw in my nightmare. MysticBlaze responded, frightningly.

Mystic, everything will be alright. Come, let's repel him together!as Lu Xun held her, by his side, trying to calm him down.

It's you...you are that figure I saw coming out of the hole.Artirtico responded, as fear grasped him.

Spawn was levitating in the air and started to advance towards them.

Hmhmhm, do you three fear death? For, I shall send your soul, to the Neatherrealm!

Spawn and trio were facing each other off, one having a demonic persona and the others, look on, in fear, as they stood together.

Hey, I don't know who you are. But we don't want to face you since we don't have any business with you. We are still recovering from the final battle with Orochi, when you still have full strength. Don't you think it's a bit cheating? Of course you can kill three of us easily!!!

Yeah, it would not be fun to kill us.

So, you want me to spare your worthless life?

Ha! Say that again!

I'm not one who love my life. I won't dishonor myself by asking mercy from you! I will fight you until my last breath!

That's right. I shall show no mercy on you three

Lord Lu Xun, you'd better run away. This is going to be dangerous.

No. I'll be with you here, Mystic

Please run! This demon will kill you!

How if he kill you?! No, I can't do this!

No worries. If he kill me, you should continue your journey without me! I beg you! Please, do this for me!

Lu Xun, left no choice, ran away.

I hope you'll be alright.

I'll see you soon! Don't worry

Art, let's finish this demon quickly.

Yeah.

Chapter 1: The Coming of Destruction, part 3

He faces the two warriors and sees Lu Xun running off.

Haha, you really think you can run away from me?

Using his powers, he pulled Lu Xun back over at the area.

So, you three wish to fight me? Then so be it. I will make your deaths as quick as possible.

He readies his two weapons and three begin to fight. Mystic tries to strike at him, but he formed a shield and repelled his attack. He sends a lightning surge towards her, but she dodges it and quickly moves, to Lu Xun's side. She throws he daggers like a boomerang, but he goes up and then starts to come down. The trio moves out of the way, and he makes a huge explosion. He quickly runs up to Artirtico, and rapidly strikes at him with Sword, him blocking the strikes.

Amusing, perhaps you three will keep me interested. Unlike the other humans I've killed, you three have strength. But, it's of no matter. Humanity will fall, all the same.

He creates clones of himself, and evens the odds.

And now, to seal your fate!

The Demon of the Neatherrealm and the Trio face off.
