Battle of Okehazama

[Oda Nobunaga]

Main Force: The main force would mow through the first wave of Imagawa troops with no issues, easily dispatching around 3000 with little effort. The Oda officers began to tear the camp apart, setting huts ablaze with sake-bombs and shooting down any who attempted to flee. Nobunaga himself ignored most enemies, heading straight through the camp to search for Imagawa Yoshimoto and claim his head. Brandt would find one of the Imagawa soldiers charging in his direction, and it was a man who seemed to match his size! Shoji would find an archer across the battlefield aiming a bow straight for him!

-3000 Imagawa soldiers

Armory: Each soldier who was at the armory would find themselves bolstered by the contents within it, receiving an item from Katsuie to increase their abilities. On top of this, they would find no issues charging into the camp, mowing down any who got in their way with ease! As they proceeded further into the camp, they would see they had the chance to link up with the main force, or head south and search for Yoshimoto!

-200 Imagawa soldiers

Supply Depot: The Amakusa-Oda forces would mow through most Imagawa soldiers, but before most could make it to the main camp, they would be held back by a cloak of shadows that covered their entire area! Amakusa-Oda troops would begin to fall left and right, and Toshiie ushered everyone into a conglomerate, where they would be more likely to survive, having their backs protected.

"Ninjas... damn it."

From all around them, the Amakusa-Oda forces could hear the sounds of chains dragging along the ground, and most of the footsoldiers would fall to their faces, dead.

-200 Imagawa soldiers
-50 Amakusa soldiers
-20 Oda soldiers

Takehiro: The Daimyo of Totomi was able to leap into the main camp and slew a good deal of footsoldiers with no issues! Before his spree could go on for too long, however, he would find his glaive parried by another, and he would be pushed back several yards! Standing before him was a large man, taller than any Takehiro had ever seen.

"For the sake of my lord, you will fall here!"

The giant of a man charged Takehiro, swinging for his waist, kicking up a mighty whirlwind as he did so!

Naotora: Naotora's rampage would allow her to decimate a good portion of the Oda troops! Her onslaught would be halted, however, by the interruption of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who would charge and block her balls, sending them straight into the ground to throw off her momentum. Wordlessly, the large man drew back his fist and sent it flying straight for Naotora's face! As he did, a mighty whirlwind followed, threatening to send her flying!

[Tokugawa Iemasa]

Having been at the armory, Iemasa ran into no issues. He would continue to shoot any Imagawa soldiers he came into contact with, but his main goal was finding Ieyasu. The man took note of Tadakatsu getting into a scuffle with one of the Amakusa men, and if Tadakatsu was out in the open like that, Ieyasu was likely nearby. So, Iemasa ran in Tadakatsu's direction and began to search the tents.

"Lord Ieyasu! Brother! Where are you?!"

[Amakusa Takehiro]

Upon seeing his foe, Takehiro's eyes widened. Now that was a big man! A grin appearing on his face, Takehiro would leap back to avoid the whirlwind, countering with one of his own as he jumped back to change the trajectory of the wind. While the big fellow obviously had a stronger attack, Takehiro was able to jump back and use his own whirlwind just in time to avoid being skewered!

As he landed on his feet, the Daimyo would take his crossbow, armed with one weighted bolt and one poison bolt, and fire them both at the large man's core.

1 of 5 Whirlwinds used.

[Gabriella Santos]

Gabriella saw as some men of the Amakusa fall around her, and unseen but heard foe having attacked. She would form up with the rest of the troops under, Toshii's direction. Eye's scanning the battle field, she looked for the cause of the strange cloak of darkness that had cut them off from the main forces. There had to be someone or something causing it, and she expected that the creator of some of those dragging chain sounds was to blame. Looking as hard as she could, if she saw anything that she expected could be them, she would raise her gun and fire at them. 

[Ichimura Ryunosuke]

As he charged towards the main camp, he, as well as the other soldiers from the supply camp, was shrouded in darkness. Although he was shocked by the turn of events, he still kept his cool as he scanned the area for the cause of the darkness. When he heard the sound of the chains jingling around him, he frantically looked at the direction of the sound, but it was too late, as the jingling of the chains stopped at that direction, and a shriek from that direction signified the death of a person. He would continue to search for the culprit, using both of the effects of his mask if possible, and when he would see either an enemy or the chains in his line of sight, he would fire at it. The enemies hiding in the darkness should be eliminated as much as possible, or else, they would be wiped out even before the darkness dispels.

[Constantine Lawrence]

Constantine was surprised at how much could the armor do in his style of fighting. As he found out, he and the other people who came from the armory, was very successful in fending off the enemy troops because of the things they got from the armory and their leader. But that of course was because they stuck together as a team. And so he would stick with them whatever their decisions would be, and would be with them as he struck every lone enemy soldier he sees.

[Chosokabe Nanami]

~* Nanami was in awe as she saw how a simple piece of equipment made her feel so much stronger. Feeling more confident in herself now, she would follow along wherever the bulk of the army went, planning on aiming at and shooting any enemy forces she saw with her cannons.

"Don't look at their faces..." She muttered to herself as she advanced.

[Yamabara Shou]

Shou would break the Imagawa line slightly as planned, and Koboyashi and the men would come in after pushing the enemy back and running many down. Jumping off of Gokaze, Shou would turn to face Koboyashi. "Join with the main force, and press the assault. I'll be back." Shou would shout before breaking off from the unit. Using his daggers to create darkness he would thrown them ahead of him, meaning none of the enemy soldier would know exactly where he was before rushing southwards. along the way he would recover a rifle from a fallen Imagawa soldier. He wasn't going to track down the leader, before attempting to shoot the man from af far. Without their leader thing here would be even better for the allied forces. 

[Sanada Yukimura]

With the piece of armor he received from Katsuie augmenting his strength and abilities, Yukimura, along with the others that had been at the armory with him, would break through the line of the Imagawa camp easily and cut down any that stood in their way. Making sure his men kept the group tight and coordinated with each other, he would have them link up with the main force, making sure his commands to them were clear and concise. Meanwhile, Yukimura would continue to charge through the Imagawa forces on his demon chariot, to cut Imagawa soldiers down left and right with his spear.

[Morei Hideyasu]

- Hideyasu would sigh in relief as his brother's life was spared. Hidenori and Haji were both alive, and for now, they were safe. All they had to do was make it through today, or however long this battle lasted. In short, he foresaw this massacre wouldn't last for much longer.

- Slashing at another soldier as he advanced, the battle was starting to make him feel worn out. He refused to let that hinder his blade, and he continued to advance forward, under the guise of darkness where he could. There was no rest, not for the wicked.

[Morei Haji]

There were still plenty of soldiers left in our path, and this battle had to end as soon as it could. Raising my hands, I would channel as much energy as I could into them, creating a mass of light energy, before sending it forward into the largest congregation of Imagawa soldiers that I could find. I planned to take as many as I could all at once in a giant blast of light. However, this would take a lot out of me, and I would drink one of my Musou Wines afterwards to restore my strength.

Combining my dual blades, I would slay any soldiers who tried to get close to Katsumi, allowing her to take out any enemies who were further away. I just wanted this to end.

[Shinomori Katsumi]

Katsumi stuck close to Haji, focusing on enemies farther away and acting as support. If anyone tried to attack him, those near them, or herself, she would shoot to kill. If they came too close, she would use gusts of wind to push them back or, if necessary, use the bladed bow to block any attacks and slice at the enemies. Her careful eyes searched for enemies and potential dangers, and sought to take them out, or at the very least avoid them.

She knew this couldn't be easy for Haji, and hoped primarily for his sake that the battle would end soon.

[Wakeshima Shoji]

After Shoji cut a man down and he fell to the ground, his unusual crimson eyes caught sight of someone further down the battlefield. It was an archer, and aiming his weapon right for Shoji! Narrowing his eyes, the psychopath dashed to the side, using the fighting bodies as cover. Shoji went up to two fighting men and sliced through the enemy soldier's knees from behind. Stabbing him through the chest, dealing the killing blow, Shoji took a hold of his kimono, gripping tightly, and lifted him up.

"Thank you kindly, little sheep~"

Quite literally having a meat shield, Shoji would run towards the archer, dashing behind others for further cover, not going in a straight line, to try and make it more challenging. It wouldn't do if he got shot so early in the game and just as Shoji was enjoying himself.

If he could draw near, Shoji would attempt to strike down the archer, by throwing the body towards him and lunging forward, stabbing his blade through both chests.

[Miyamoto Kenji]

The battle was going smoothly, and Kenji even received a handy item from the armory to make things easier. Still, he would not lose his head in arrogance, and maintained his focus to the utmost. With the other men and women from the armory force, he made it his goal to cut past the enemy lines, looking to take down ranking officers in the Imagawa. If they were removed from the battle, that'd only serve to further disintegrate the enemy's chances of turning things around, disorganizing the men and demoralizing them simultaineously.

[Yuy Masahiro™]

"Don't push yourself too hard."

After Haji sent through his blast of light, I moved in front of him, hoping to give him a moment to drink his musou wine. Snapping my wrist, I would turn my sword into a bladed whip and swing in a horizontal arc, slashing through anyone that tried approaching him while he tried to recover. I sheathed my sword as it returned to a regular katana, keeping my left hand on the sheathe and my right on the hilt.

"Forget the small fries. Let's find Yoshimoto."

I crouched low and ran forward, sheathing and unsheathing my sword to slash through any enemies I ran across, not stopping for even an instant. There were more important things to do right now.

[Morei Hidenori]

"Huh? Oh, thanks Noel..."

Hidenori took the weapon that Noel handed him. A whip sword, huh? Fancy. Sheathing his zanbato, gritting his teeth as he lifted that heavy blade up onto his back with one arm, he began to use the whip sword that Noel gave him, slashing out at any enemies that came near.

"Noel! Wait! Are you crazy!?"

He began to run after the Date soldier, trying to keep him from getting too close to Naotora's swinging orbs of steel and rage.

[Brandt Solveig]

Brandt's eyes would narrow as he saw someone of equal stature heading his way. His lips would part to bear his teeth as he focused upon his mark. With a wild roar he would rush to meet him head on. Activating his shield to sound out his explosive advance toward the giant.

"GRrrrrrrrrrRRRRAAAAAAH!"

However before he finished clearing the gap, his sword would slam into the earth, carving at it as it tugged onward, slowing his pace a bit and causing those massive legs to thrust outward violently as Brandt aimed to slam his heels against his opponent with great force.

 With extreme weight and momentum behind him, it was bound to be a massive blow. It was unorthadox as well, which only helped to bolister his chances. The behemoth would rip his sword from the earth so that the dropkick could follow through completely. If he mqnaged to knock him to the ground he would try to cleave his skull at the forehead, into the ground.

If the god's willed it, he would claim this life and the continue onward to carve his path until he could reach Takehiro to back him up. Regardless of what the Daiymo would think or want, the Nord would be at his side battling. Even to the death if he must.

[Etincelle Noel]

[[OoC: Just a reminder to everyone to stick to post order and keep a close eye on the thread so you can know when it's your turn.]]

"LET GO OF ME HIDENORI!"

I yanked myself free from Hidenori as he tried to keep me from Nao's balls. I broke free in time to see Nao get punched by a whirlwind fist. The technique was amazing... and frightening. It didn't matter right now. All that mattered was making sure that Nao would be alright. I hadn't seen any of the other Date soldiers that came out... Jina... Keisuke...

"/DAMMIT! DON'T BE DEAD!/"

I stabbed my sword into the ground using it as a pole vault, leaving it behind me. The momentum launched me forward faster as I moved to catch Nao. I was completely weaponless at this point. I turned to Hideyoshi, tears starting to form in the pits of my eyes.

"PLEASE! SPARE HER! I BEG YOU!"

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Tokugawa Ieyasu, along with the men that he lead. They were among those on the side of the Imagawa, the young Daimyo having through a bad history be under the thumb of Yoshimoto and the Imagawa. When the Imagawa had marched for war, Ieyasu had not been pleased at the fact. He knew that the Imagawa were heading for the Oda, and had even suggested to Yoshimoto to bring such numbers. The other man had been planning to do so anyway, but Ieyasu had wished that the superior numbers would have caused the Oda's forces to surrender without putting up much of a fight. His reason for this is that he knew that among the Oda army, were members of his family. Those who had gone to the Oda when the family was split. He had hoped for the Oda to be quelled, without harming his followers, so that he could retake the rest of the Tokugawa clan under his banner, where they deserved to be. 

However the hopes that Ieyasu had would, not come to be. The surrender never came. The waiting was a stressful thing, for the young leader. It was then that the battle started, unexpected, and unprepared the Imagawa would come under heavy assault. As quickly as he could, Ieyasu would prepare himself for battle. Pulling on his large gauntlets and moving out of the tent that he was being housed in. A mixture of annoyance, and some level of respect for the surprise assault would fill him. Grabbing one of his soldiers, he spoke calmly but quickly. "Get the men away from this battle field. I will not have my men die for the Imagawa, back to Mikawa with haste. I will join after I see to something." He would order, the soldier before running off through the Imagawa forces towards the Oda main forces. Along the way, his gauntleted hands would dart out as he charged thought. Anyone that he came across, be they Imagawa, Oda, or the Oda's allies would have weapons snatched out of their hands and broken as quickly as he could. He would not risk the Imagawa killing those of his clan among the Oda, but nor would just let the Oda forces rush over them.
