Chapter 3: The rise of the Dark Swordsmans

Date: Æ1289 6, 3

Middle of the night. The moon is lighting up in the stars. An old man walks towards the hidden ancient cave.

The old man stops walking. He slowly grabs something in his left hand. A Dark scroll is slowly lighting up.

"The Darkness shall come rise, swordsmen of the unknowns," an old man said in a Dark voice. 4 swordsman's rise up from the 4 corners, the 4 swordsmans has glowing Dark eyes with particles, one of them has white glowing 1 eye with a dark one standing holding their Dark blades. 1 by 1 they rise from the circled pattern block, stones going up building the 4 swordsmen of unknowns, they rise in different corners, dust to stone to a statue.

The 4 swordsmans got summoned in a hidden Dark cave in ages leaving history and memories, only legends and myths can find this place, it can help to destroy or it can help to protect.

The wind is going east the wind is changing directions. Lucas is one of the royal guards in the far south defending the last grave of the almighty powerful power of a Myth.

Gakushin Gakure standing outside the gate with his sword on his right side. He was stunned as if something strange was happening, he had a hunch of what was happening but he just wouldn't think about it. He started walking straight.

The wind is surprisingly strong coming from the north. 2 samurai just appeared on the left and right of Gakushin Gakure.

"Gakushin Gakure the Heads had requested a mission for you, you gonna be going to the north alone, we're gonna be guarding outside this gate," the left samurai said in a modest voice.

"I'm going with you but I'm not going to the north I will be the one who is going to the south, I'm just going with you because we need to talk while going and after we finish talking we will be going to our destination," the samurai said in his right as he stands up.

Gakushin Gakure turns around and looks at the samurai who said all the things to him, after a few minutes Gakushin Gakure agrees. He once again turns around but a weird-looking forest has become Dark and foggy, Gakushin Gakure walks and puts out his sword, and slashed a full force, the fog vanished but it's still Dark.

He started walking to the Dark forest in front of him, the samurai on the right started walking too, the samurai on the left started doing something.

"Night"

"Chief Makurin I'm done with the barrier we should leave as soon as possible, we need to go back to the village," Shikari Gakure said in an abrupt voice. He stands up and runs as fast as he can to the place where Chief Makurin and the fifth army are.

"Roger!" Chief Makurin said.

"Fifth Army! Let's get moving, we're retreating!! The place in here is already clear and the spawners are broken Shikari Gakure will report this to the heads of this village so we're done," Chief Makurin Said as she shouts to the whole army.

Shikari Gakure is running, he realizes that the wind suddenly changes direction, he quickly stops and stayed on his ground. When Shikari Gakure stops same as the wind. He once again walked and the air moved as his shadow.

"Tsk, this is an illusion dimension... I need to look around and find its core," Shikari Gakure said. He looked around and everything is the same, he looked down and suddenly see the void he falls.

"This an illusion, this must be a technique of a powerful Shira," he pulled out his sword and a big surprise happened. His world suddenly turned black, he have no choice, he needs to activate his powerful technique or he'll die.

He quickly changes the course of his sword and closes his eyes, he performed a magic sword the sword turns black and suddenly destroys the illusion of its own. Shikari Gakure manages to get out, he quickly charges to the place where Chief Makurin is and the fifth army.

5 swordsmans walk to the Supreme Forest all wearing a cape. The wind is calm but the trees are dark and the walking path is full of darkness.

"Well-well looks who's here!, the 5 swordsmans of the greats, Ha!Ha!" Unknown girl voice in the woods. The 5 swordsmen look around and try to not let their guard down and find the girl's voice.

One of them started walking in a straight line. The swordsman in his back started walking forward. The swordsman in front stepped on what was at his feet and suddenly sank, he stopped. A scythe rotates and comes at him, he pulls out his katana and makes his katana protective. The hood on his head was removed with the excessive force of the impact. He looked at the tree where the scythe came from, he saw that it was a chain attached to the handle of the scythe.

"Who are you! Show up!" The swordsman in the front said.

"Looks like you guys are well trained after all... well I'm done here see you guys later," the voice comes from the beginning of throwing the scythe where the chain is she is.

The swordsmans in the front think, but the girl suddenly grabs the chain and pulls back the scythe. The scythe came back and the girl disappear, the 5 swordsmen started to walk. The swordman in the front put back his katana and hood again. They walked to their destination.

"Middle of the night"

An explorer from a far region has reached the west, Shikari Gakure turned around and see a man wearing a jacket and a backpack on his back and a big sword on his right side.

The man looks at Shikari Gakure, he stares at him, the man walked the man just passed by, Shikari Gakure faced the man, he just passed by as if nothing had happened, Shikari did not know who that person was and where he came from, he also did not feel the presence of that man. He just let go of the man and ran very fast to his destination, Shikari wanted to ask the man but he still had a bigger problem.

"Gakushin Gakure... Should you and I build an alliance against the east? You know the heads are getting greedy we might need to turn against them, I got information that evil swordsmen once again rise," the samurai said as they ran into the forest.

"You should not follow me," the voice of a girl said. "Kuro what was that? It's the middle of the night twilight, who is those swordsmans that you fought?! That scythe you're carrying it's supposed to be defending" a boy said in the back of a girl in the middle of the forest, middle of the night.

Kuro launches a scythe towards the boy, this time it has no chain attached to it. The scythe quickly spins around going back to Kuro. She quickly vanishes leaving no traces behind. The boy that she left is a 23-year-old man, a swordsman, the boy quickly runs but it's already late he's too slow. He slowly walks back lowering his head.

Gakushin Gakure is still running towards the place that has been assigned to him

"Gakushin Gakure... we should stop in that big tree branch," the samurai said. They both stop. "We're gonna be separating from here, you might be gone for 2 or 1 week, your fighting 3000 Dark mobs in your destination, they don't know about Shikari Gakure but it said that your the one that can only do It- It's an... Entire army" samurai said in a nervous voice. "I can handle them, I can ask for backup If I want to and even I die... The world still has Shikari Gakure on your sides so... You all will be fine, I'll be back," Gakushin Gakure said in a joyful voice.

Gakushin Gakure jumps and runs through the woods. He knows that he can die in this mission but he's prepared for it.

"Morning"

The third army is moving towards the east going back to the original post. Fudo Toka fell asleep as she teleported to Soldier SE. Soldier SE is riding a horse and back of him is Fudo Toka.

She's woking up, Fudo Toka sees that there is still in the middle of the field of the north. The third army takes a better look at the crater, they see that an entire army of Dark mobs has been slain, they believed it, Fudo Toka might be the one that slays these mobs.

Inside the heads of the village main office emergency meeting.

"Gather the fourth army! We're making moves!" one of the heads said. They're on a meeting with a round table in the middle. They gather the heads of the village into the meeting inside the capitol office underground facility.

"I'm the General! And I'm the one who makes orders for my armies! I'm gathering every finest soldier we have in this village and swordsman, even retired ones!" The General said.

"We need to take actions to stop the spawners in the north and another unknown and unexplored region, I the heads of this village will decide what must be done! Gather every army we have, and... Make Shikari Gakure mad!" The head of the village said in a statement.

"We can't just make Shikari Gakure Angry! He will end us if he knows that he's making him mad," the sergeant said.

"We deploy Gakushin Gakure to the battlefield in the north, we deploy him as a 1 man to defeat the army, that's the decision of every head in this village, I know Colonel that no one told you this but it's our job to keep people safe," one of the heads of the village said.

The heads and the other members like the sergeant and the colonel left the room, they will be gathering every army in the village. The war in the far north ended almost a decade ago, a team of Certified Professional Services of the east have to deploy one of their finest soldiers but they never came back.

They once again deploy another finest soldier to the far north battlefield but the same it never came back, the only thing that came back is an emergency teleported message. It said that an entire army is rising in the far north once again.

"Gakushin Gakure I'm going to Chief Makurin place, we destroyed one of the spawners in the west, can you deploy a bunshin to the south?" Shikari Gakure said, he teleported a message to Gakushin Gakure.

"I'm deploying one right now!" Gakushin Gakure said.

Shikari Gakure can now see we're Chief Makurin are and the fifth army is, the whole fifth army was ready to leave, his arrival was just right, they were at the top of the mountain and the one at the bottom was the village the downward route was to the west village. Shikari Gakure hurried and signaled the fifth army to leave, there was one horse left for Shikari Gakure. He rode the horse and left, he accelerated as he accelerated the horse to get ahead and lead the fifth army where it was going.

The 5 great swordsmans, they're still walking into the Supreme Forest, they're still halfway there.

The wind is so calm, the left swordsman looks at the left, they all stop. "What are you looking at?" The swordsman in the back said. "The tree change, there's supposed to be a big tree but now it's gone," the swordsman said. They pull out their swords and make a formation line pentagon.

The first swordsman in the front is named Agatsuma Hit, and the left and the right swordsman are Hashibira Kosuke and Hashibira Komoto, and the last two in the back are Tsuyuri Shi and Katrina. They're known as the 5 greats, they also know Shikari Gakure master.

They guard each other as they walked to the Supreme Forest, after walking a while they take off their hood and started running in a straight line. They still don't know where's the monster hiding in the supreme forest. They might still not be halfway there.

"Chief Makurin, I'll borrow half of the fifth army you take the other half, you go to the east ill go to the northeast with half of the army," Gakushin Gakure said. The fifth army is well trained they know how to coordinate with each other by not even talking.

The army was split in half, Chief Makurin was going east and Gakushin Gakure was going northeast they had to prepare in case something bad happened. Gakushin Gakure sends a bunshin to the south, Gakushin Gakure will meet Shikari Gakure and the army in the middle of the big forest.

"South middle of the day"

"It will be our first time traveling into another mainland continent," an old man's voice said. "Yeah... I wonder what we will see on another continent, maybe another home," a young boy said. They are both on a boat with a crew and staff. There are a few people inside the boat and the boat is big. The captain and the heads of the village said that they will be traveling in this ocean, it's a pier, a lot of boats are chained and tied.

They will be using a good build boat, there's a lot of food inside and stuffs. They are leaving soon they are just waiting for the finest swordsmen of the village, at least five of them.

The third army is ready to leave the crater. Soldier SE put up his right hand and signal the army that they were leaving. All of them start speeding their horses up. Their job is done, they just need to go home safely as possible without any problems.

The 5 Greats, reach the main hall of the Supreme forest, they see that the fog is getting thinner and thinner. They see a big castle in front of them a very large castle, but this castle is very old with many vines and plants on its wall, they see a ruined wall to their left, they are here in the supreme forest to redeem the emperor's sword long hidden in this place.

This castle in the supreme forest is too old, they feel a lot of presence inside the castle but those are all unusual, they have to be careful and get out all five of them when something bad happens.

"It smells here, this place is supposed to be a good part of the forest but... It's all smell blood," Katrina said in a sick voice.

"Just don't lower your guard down, everything inside should die, Dark mobs or zombies, we possibly gonna be countering a lot of them." Agatsuma Hit said in a modest voice.

They continue to walk. They walked in the front castle entrance, they see left and right the dead soldiers and knight of the castle a long time ago, some of them left is only body armor left and right they see the split gate of the castle, they might be encountering a monster or a demon inside the castle.

"West"

"Himura Kiri, one of the greatest swordsmen of the west, what an honor to meet you."

Himura Kiri is walking, as he walking heard a man's voice speaking behind him, he stopped. He turned around and see a guy wearing a hood, he can't see the man's face.

"The honor is mine, who are you?.. I see you're not from the village are you?" Himura Kiri said as he laughs.

The man that he's facing pulled out a sword, the people around him started to run, Himura Kiri looked left and right. He sees that there's no one with the guy.

"I challenge you into a duel," the hood guy said. The guy with the hood pointed the sword at Himura Kiri, he pulled out his sword, the guy attacked Himura Kiri head-on, the two katana touched each other giving a great impact.

They both fly off, the swordsman with the hood disappears, as he disappeared a lettered note appeared where he vanished from. Himura Kiri pulled back his sword and walked to the letter.

The bodyguards of the west are in his back, they didn't make it in time, Himura Kiri looked at the letter and it says "Himura Kiri go to the middle of the Demons hideout and make sure you hide and don't get seen and died you'll get some important information about these things that may help your village, by Kishu." Himura Kiri looked up to the sky, Kishu is his older friend.

The third army is going back to the outpost, they're still going back to the village east, but it's almost night, the fog is starting to get thinner. Fudo Toka woke up hugging Soldier SE on a horse so she doesn't fall off the horse, she looked around and see that it's almost night, they're on a horse still traveling, they're halfway to the village.

The sound of horses can be heard, Shikari Gakure felt the presence of Gakushin Gakure's bunshin, he signaled to the Fifth army to stop, he looked up and he saw Gakushin Gakure standing in a tree, they were in the middle of the forest so Gakushin Gakure stays high ground so that his strength will not be wasted if something happens.

"Gakushin Gakure go south and go to the boat that gonna be traveling soon to the other continent, make sure they're safe, and make sure you got in the boat, and if you don't make it use a technique to walk on water," Shikari Gakure said.

"Roger!" he answered. The army is surprised because it's a while since a boat can travel that far, Gakushin Gakure moves and go to the south, the fifth army, and Shikari Gakure moves their horses and gets out in the forest.

The real Gakushin Gakure finally reaches the north, but when he's traveling to the north he senses the presence of the third army and Fudo Toka, he sees a big crater in the north and the village is so big but it's destroyed and the walls got some holes.

He moves down as he moves down, he sees a new big tree that grow up a long day ago but now it's on the ground, he also sees the sword shield mark on the ground that Fudo Toka uses using when the super shock wave comes in.

"This might be the north, I'd wonder how did she survive, I put something inside my bunshin so whenever I get hurt it won't disappear unless I die," Gakushin Gakure said, he's looking to the sky. He pulled out his sword and charge to the front gate of the north.
