Taking Shima

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Wooden castle doors would splinter inwards. Unable to take the force of Takehiro might. The courtyard it looked into was filled. Men with spears, swords and other weapons in different units. Men would charge and guns would fire at Takehiro.

Above on a large balcony three men stood watching. One a large man, bigger then Takehiro by some amount, a even larger weapon seemingly a mix of sword, spear and mace. Another small and wiry, holding a long yellow wooden staff, topped with a fan made of black feathers. The last was covered in head to toe by armour. A pair of katanas resting at his waist.

[Amakusa Takehiro]

As the bullets soared through the air, they would find themselves crashing against his dark shield, which took no damage whatsoever. He would proceed into the courtyard, sending dark tendrils out from his body. There would be so much they would cover the entire courtyard, ripping through the entirety of the forces on his level. In case this did not kill them, he would pull them inward and launch out his explosive whip-fists, rotating his body in a full circle to make each and every one of them explode. He would leave none of the ground troops alive, though his goal was to capture the Kitabatake sons.

"Come! Face me, if you dare!"

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Takehiro power would start to rip through the Kitabatake soldiers, but not for long before on of the men atop the balcony interfered. The staff wielder Nagano Tomofuji leap up on to the sides of the balcony before swinging the staff through the air. Powerful currents of wind would shoot forth down into the courtyard. Aimed at Takehiro, it would surrounded him. Spinning powerfully in a whirlwind to throw him upwards. 

The second would then act leaping down, at Tak as he hopefully was coming up. The large sword spear of a blade trying to impale him, before the wreaking ball of a mace below the blade would slam him into the ground. The last would draw his blades, gesturing with one. "For Shima. Charge." He would shout gracefully dropping from above. The spear men remaining would charge forward. Spears stabbing out for Takehiro while the lord sons distracted him. The swords men would instead of fighting Tak would charge out of the courtyard along with the rifle men. Heading after Takehiro main force. If they were to fall this day, they would punish his people instead.

[Amakusa Takehiro]

Takehiro would feel the wind growing, though his own spiritual strength was stronger than that of the Kitabatake men, it seemed. Still, he would allow them to believe their attack worked, throwing himself into the air as the currents came toward him. As the man charged to strike Takehiro with his mace, however, one of the Daimyo's gauntlets would come up to block the blow, his right fist slamming into the man's face as hard as he could, intent on the explosive knocking him out if his god-like strength did not do the trick.

Upon landing, Takehiro would shoot out a wave of darkness to knock all his foes back, before sending his doppelganger charging at the man with the staff. The dark hero would look to stab the man through both of his thighs, just before breaking his arms. Meanwhile, Takehiro would consume a Musou Wine to rid himself of any musou fatigue he'd encountered, and then continue with his tendril assault on the soldiers. All but the sons of Kitabatake would die here.

[OoC: Musou Wine used.]

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Tomofusa would come down upon Takehiro expecting to take him by surprise. Only to have his attack blocked before being smashed in the face hard enough to send him back up into the air and flying back. Tokumatsu would rush over, catching his injured brother and placing him on the ground. As Tak musou would smash through the spear men. 

Tomofuji would once again swing his staff. At the dark doppelganger charging towards him. It would once again form a whirlwind and try to launch the fake Tak upwards. As if that was the only thing the staff can do. However if it failed to move the doppelganger. He would spin the staff in order to block the doppelgangers attacks before lashing out with the bottom of the spear for the dark man's face.

Done with his brother Tomofuji would once bring his weapons up to the ready and slowly walk towards Takehiro. however his blades would suddenly vanish in a blinding flash of light. And three version of the armoured man would walk towards him. However unknown to Takehiro two of them were mealy illusions and the real Tomofuji still had the weapons in hand.

[Amakusa Takehiro]

The staff would find itself hitting nothing after the whirlwind proved useless, due to the fact Takehiro's doppelganger was an embodiment of Takehiro's spirit! Its explosive fists would slam into the man's knees, looking to take his legs out from under him and eliminate his ability to walk!

Takehiro watched as the man seemed to create doppelgangers of himself, though he was not surprised in the slightest. He simply aimed for the ground in front of the men, firing his crossbow upon it with an explosive backlash that would likely fling them backward. Quickly rearming his crossbow, Takehiro would watch for them to continue their charge. As soon as one person moved a muscle, Takehiro was going to fire his explosive bolts at their waist.

An unintentional bonus to this, was that any fakes would clearly not be harmed, and if they were mirroring the Kitabtatake man's moves, that would be evident.

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Tomofuji, would spin his staff, lashing out as the doppelganger came at him. He pushed the fist aside as best he could stepping back, as even so the fist managed to knock him backwards. However Tomofuji wouldn't et the doppelganger push the advantage. And would once again spin his staff, however the whirlwind would surround himself instead and launch him up into the air, before he landed on the nearby walls.He was leading the doppelganger away, how far could Takehiro control the copy.

Takehiro would fire and the crossbow bolt explode in front of the Tokumatsu and his illusionary copies. The real version would bring his invisibly swords in front of him, his armour and sword dampening the effect of the blast, but still pushing him back. The copies however seemed completely unfazed and continued to move forward. The real Tokumatsu would charge. As planned Takehiro would fire at him, and Tokumasta would slash out through the bolt with one of the invisible swords. It like the last would exploded, Tokumatsu roaring in pain, however would continue forward, leaping through the smoke and slashing down at Takehiro with both his swords desperately the copies along side him.

Out side the Kitabatake troops would charge on the ships, however they would be met with cannon fire. ripping the apart, there dwindled numbers making them light work for the ships armament.

Tokumatsu and Tomofuji.

Troops dead or fleeing. 

[Amakusa Takehiro]

As the man with the staff landed against the wall, Dark Takehiro would bind his legs with dark shackles to it to prevent him from moving. Even though it was an extension of Takehiro, it still had the majority of his abilities, and thus could use the darkness it was made of. Once the man was bound, it would shoot dark tendrils from the walls to rip through his arms at the biceps, rendering them useless. Dark Takehiro would then leap up, take the man's head in its hands, and slam it into its knee until the guy was unconscious.

Takehiro eyed the man and his doppelgangers, quickly catching onto the fact that they were not legitimately physical beings in the slightest. Because of this, he was thoroughly prepared with whatever came his way. As the man slashed downward, Takehiro would block the blades with his gauntlets. From there, he would push his arms outward and, by extension, the blades. One hand would shoot to the man's throat, and Takehiro would lift him into the air, before slamming him heavily onto the ground to knock him out.

Any troops who approached the ships would continually be met with cannon fire.

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Tomofuji once again tried to leap away aided by the effect of his staff. However before he could bring the staff all the way round, darkness surrounded his legs. While other tendrils came at him. Sturrgling he managed to avoid the darkness ripping through his arms however it was to little to late. As the dark doppolganger while he was distracted trying to avoid them manage to leap up to him and grab him. A powerful pull and solid knee by one kind of darkness brought the darkness of unconsciousness. 

Takehiro would manage to block the blades of Tokumatsu, pushing them aside. However the Kitabatake wasn't unskilled. While Takehiro would that much faster, and managed to grab him by the throat with ease. Tokumatsu was bringing his blade back round low to cut at Takehiro knees. However as Takehiro lifted him by the neck, he in turn brought the blade higher as well so that they were aimed at his sides. It would hurt Takehiro if he didn't retreat but if he was willing to take it he could finish slamming the armour man into the ground to dispatch him.

Tomofuji down.

Tokumatsu possibly down.  

[Amakusa Takehiro]

Takehiro would take the blow to his side, as it would not pierce his skin due to the coat of darkness he always kept around himself. There was a force behind the attack that hurt, however it was not going to be enough to prevent this man from falling. Takehiro would slam him into the ground with such force it was unlikely he'd be able to get out of it conscious.

If Takehiro succeeded, he would tie all three of the Kitabatake in dark bindings, and drag them over to his ships. They would then be kept with their brother in captivity for now, while Takehiro would have his men dock their ships and raise the Amakusa banner in Shima.

[Tokugawa Ieyasu]

Takehiro would slam Tokumatsu into the ground, knocking him out easily with the strength that he had. The Kitabatake army was pretty much broken. The Amakusa cannons being able to do damage before they even got in to a position to do anything. Weapons were thrown to the floor. And the Amakusa would march into Shima quickly rounding up pockets of resistance and taking control. The banner would be raised. Shima belonged to the Amakusa now.
