It seemed we had chosen a path as I was still annoyed about the man pointing his damn gun in my face. Behind me they were already moving closer to the door. Before I could even turn around I felt my feet lifted of the ground and a wind blasted me backwards. I ended up in the room were the doors had just opened. As I looked at the doors they closed and be surrounded by a dark mass. At this point a smell of death hit my nose. It smelled so bad it wasn't even fun to breath at this point. I took abit to get back up only to hear Shou telling us not to run.

" Don't order me around you dog! "

I would turn around seeing just a path leading to a chest further ahead. The path was cracked in some parts and even the walls had some holes in it. Going back wasn't a option and that chest felt like it could hold something good.

" Well courier boy how about you getting it. "

It seems god hates me.. Not only was that guy here, the female that attacked me when I was just having fun with one eye arrived as well. These two people seem to have a dislike when it comes to good old me. As both him and her spoke I could hear they say something about a treasure. Maybe it would contain a source of power and I would just grin. Before I could speak a 3 person came in this time a male I never saw before. But he already gave me a reason to dislike him. He pointed his gun at me and I would just step forward abit making the gun almost touch my face.

" You better keep that gun of, of me or else it will end somewhere you don't want"

Then Shou spoke to me again about not being able to beat me yet, and he would not back stab me if I did the same. I would simply look at him and just started laughing. Why would i believe this kid he bit my shoulder. But I was outnumbered here and there was something to gain. I would look around at all three of them.

" I guess I have no choice but to work together with all you nice folks. "

I wasn't even able to hit those punches as I felt his palm strike me in the head forcing me to the side. I still barely standing on my feet just kept saying it over and over again. I wasn't really awake at this point. I was just on instinct alone. I just wanted to win so badly it was the only thing keeping me up at this point my eyes were just blank. I came in again trying to trow a punch but instead felt forwards hitting the sands.

"Kill him Kill him "

The crowed seemed to favor my dead at this point. it was a fight till the dead to those there as it was a rotten underground place to those dirty and shameless. I was down could not move and would be left to the dogs if I remained here.

This guy spoke words that didn't reach my ear anymore. I was in pure survival mode. I just wanted to hurt this man so bad. And because of that I was foolish enough to keep going. As I charged in as intended the man jumped back before rushing in meeting me head on. As my forehead would hit the man his nose, I could feel two large blows against my collarbone. I can tell you this that hurt like a bitch. I did hit my mark but soon after stumbled back. I fell on my knee's the pain was taking over my face swelt up at the same time.
I tried to get back up but it was hard and as i got back up my legs were shaking and my body didn't really felt like it wanted to move forwards. But all the strength and willpower still inside of me made me raise up my hands and trow a right and left punch combo. It didn't had power so if it even hit the man it would not even hurt him one bit.

" I must win... I must win... "

I spoke those words over and over and over again.

Once again just wandering the lands I found myself in a swamp region. This didn't seem to fit me at all. The smell was bad enough, and then you had the dirty feet and all that. But I have to say I lost my way and just had to keep wandering until I find my way back. It wasn't that I had a place to be. Getting stronger was all I had in my mind. Walking around for hours or at least it felt like hours I could see something in the distance. It was a large castle. Getting closer it would be bigger and bigger. How come people would build something like that in a area like this.

As I walked up to the front gate, it seemed to be open. Getting closer I felt abit weird as if I should turn around and never return, but that feeling also made me curious as to way I should turn back. Maybe I could find a answer of getting power in here. As I walked into the castle I could see another man standing there... it was.. wait a minute. It was that guy I fought a while back. The wannabe Hero shoulder biting courier.

" You got to be kidding me! Of all the people I walk into you. "

My voice loud enough for the man to hear me as I would turn a grin upon my face.

My blade hit his shoulder but it didn't seem to stop this man, I could feel a sharp pain in my stomach, opening my mouth because of the pain and impact before feeling a explosive punch against my cheek. It forced me away with power as my body rolled on the sand away from the man. I could feel my face starting to swell up abit and soon it would be worse. The pain in my stomach was bad as well. This guy really packed a punch but at least I drew blood on him as well. This made me smile abit even though I was losing. My weapon was useless as it was broken and short.

I would push myself up until I was upon one knee keeping my eyes on him as blood would slide down my chin. my lip was busted and my cheek was messed up. But I wasn't going to go down that easy. I had speed but things would go bad soon. If my face would swell up to the point of one eye closing I would have a blind spot. I dropped the broken blade next to me and raised up further taking a fighting stance and waited.

(Trying to join Date, so i will do this under there banner sort of say)

It seems there was another test of strength in this fraction as well. I could always train more and build up my strength in ways I would train my whole body. But this time it wasn't as simple as just running and doing push ups. No its worse, we have to carry up 4 jugs of water on a stick that we would balance on the shoulders, we have to get them up on a mountain. Would we be finished after that? No, we still have to walk high on a beam and grab a medallion before we could call it a success. The odds were high and I would not back down from it as I would never in my life back down from anything.

I walked up to the man in charge and he pointed me to the bamboo stick and the 4 jugs, Lucky for me I didn't had to place the jugs on myself as there were soldiers that would do It for me. I listen to the instructions before walking up to the jugs. I would place the bamboo stick on my shoulders. I myself was able to tell them were to place the jugs so I can balance it better. I would place two close to my shoulders as my hands would be in the center of both sides, the last to jugs would be place near the end parts of the stick. I was ready and I can tell you feeling the stick on your shoulders with those 4 jugs on there didn't feel good at all. I was pointed to the start and if things could have gotten worse they did now. I had to walk in a upstream river for 4 miles. I had to show my strength and will power and never giving up attitude with it.

I placed my feet into the water and took off, I didn't run or anything because I needed the balance but the water was crashing against my legs making it harder to make every step up the river. The beginning wasn't that bad but the more steps I would make the more I could feel the pressure on my legs. It didn't take that long for the first pain to sink in. But this was the point were warriors would keep going and a common man would stop. I would just bare with the pain and make one more step after another. being half way didn't really ease the pain but it made it more do able as I knew I was making progress. In the face of dead you could never give up either and I would just use my hate to keep myself up. I just kept thinking to myself that those men were on top and I just had to get there. stopping wasn't a option anymore. The river was getting stronger and the pain would get bigger as I saw the path coming closer. I would feel the pain take over my legs as they started shake abit. I was better then this I would not let this stop me, I made it to the end of the river and stepped upon the lands but the real challenge wasn't even done.

I had to climb the mountain now, this path was going up and it would put more pressure on the legs then the river probably would. Keeping balance now was the key factor. I made my way up and once again wasn't able to pick up any passe as I would have to make sure those jugs didn't fall off, I could hear them slide sometimes but was able to keep them up. Step by step I came closer to my goal but the pain was getting the best of me at this point. Every step I made just made me release a small yell of pain before clenching my teeth together. I then made a step and felt the knee bend as I almost fell, I was barely keeping the bamboo steady for the jugs to stay up. I could not get my knee straight and felt like failing at this point. I knew I was being watched to see if I was able to finish and not cheat my way up there. I had to force myself and before I knew it, because of the pain I would see flashes of my mother, she was dead but I could see her cheering me on and telling me I can do everything I want. I had to finish for her and grow stronger for her. With all the strength I had left I raised up and just kept going and going until i reached the top and had to place the jugs down. I raised the bamboo above my head with all the strength I could muster and raised it over my head and slowly placing it down in front of me.

There was just one more thing to do but my body was tired, in pain. I had to climb up 18 feet to grab that medallion that was above that wooden beam. I just took a big breath before walking up to the beam. Reaching the top would be another success in my life, one thing that I had fallen short of as for late. With a loud roar I jumped up against the beam and grabbed on with my arms and legs. I was about to climb up and used all the strength I had in my arms to go up bit by bit and holding myself in place with my legs. half way there but I felt like I was slipping and was falling. I could just in time grab hold of the beam again but by doing so I burned the inside of my arms. It felt really painful but I wasn't about to stop here and kept going up and up until I was able to grab the medallion. I would try to climb back down but soon felt no strength left and around half way I would slip until the burning was to painful I would just let go falling down. Crashing against the ground knocked the air out of me but I made it that was all that counted. The body will heal sooner or later. I just wanted to prove the Date they would have a great fighter in me...

As I made my attempt to attack, I could hear a voice calling me a fool and not soon after a attacked was thrown my way in the shape of a iron ball the size of my chest. The speed was not something that was faster then mine and I would dodge the ball by dashing to my right. Yet by doing so I would also have to stop my attack as I was not out of range of the man i was attacking in the first place. Damn, didn't he say we all had to attack him? Why is one of his warriors attacking me instead. My eyes just locked on with that warrior, it seemed it was a female that attacked me, maybe she felt some kind of love for her lord to attack me. She then spoke again saying he could break us all in his sleep? If he could why would she attack me if he was able to defeat me in his sleep.

I just had to crack a smile when she spoke that words and stopped my assault, and looked at her. These females now a days all think they can talk down on me. She thinks I'm that weak that I can not even hurt this man in his sleep. The smile soon turned into a serious face as I would also turn my body towards her.

" If he is so strong that he could beat me in his sleep, then why stop me? Seems like you rather fight me then him it seems, well bring it on then. "


Instead of now charging the man I came at the female who would still have to pull back the ball that was on a chain and came at her with full speed, yet I never lost sight of the ball if she would make a weird attack that could hurt me. When I came into range I would slice low with my left just above her knee's and my right would follow would she step back or to the side my right blade would follow and aim at her throat. I didn't care if I would kill this woman she insulted me by forcing me to stop my attack.

It seems the man was admitting his lose as he spoke the words that I won. But truth be told I didn't win. his mocking words didn't even bother me. I beated him yes and that made me a winner. But what did I gain from it that would help me improve my goal. I had just beaten a man and his anger. I would simply look at him cold as he laughed at me thinking I would feel less knowing he was a courier. Just for the sake of it I would drive my blade in abit further just to make him scream one more time, before releasing the blade from his flesh. I would stand up not losing any contact with the man. He already showed he was as low as a dog by biting. Picking up my other blade I would step back looking down at the beaten courier.

" You're status don't matter to me. You're the one that has to life with this defeat. "

I would then took a small look at his horse and then back at the warrior, he would be in no position to get on that horse and ride of, he would be bleeding to dead and the bumping would make it even worse. I would grab a bag of coins and tossed it down at the man.

" Use this and let them take care of you're wounds, not because I want you to stay alive. use them so you can find me again one day and finish what you started. "

I would turn around and walk towards my horse the man was of no concern to me at this point and I would fade away in the darkness .

There seemed to be a line up going on to join the Date army, looking at the army it wasn't like they looked like a well organized army but still they looked like warriors, raw warriors like me. They didn't seem like those stuck up soldiers from lets say the Oda army. I would make my way to the line as told and was standing around the center as the people showed up wasn't muchts of a turn up. It seems the Date army wasn't that willing among the people. I could hear a voice coming up and it seems he was the man to be in the Date army. But he looked like a pirate the eye patch was cool I had to say.

He walked up and down the line to see who was trying to join but he didn't seem pleased as he passed me I could only crack a smile, that eye patch was so funny and cool at the same time. It was the first time seeing it. He seemed to have a plan as he walked away and just turning around with one sword unsheathed.

“ALRIGHT BOYS! LET’S HAVE OURSELVES A FIGHT. ALL OF YOU NEW RECRUITS AGAINST ME! I’ll even give you all a handicap; I’m only going to use one sword,”

Wait was he for real? He wanted to fight us all? I knew there were strong warriors in this land but all against one wasn't that abit muchts... This just made my smile abit bigger. If he really was able to take us all on, then he could help me find that strength I was looking for to reach my goal.

" Uhm mister eye patch? Are you sure one eye is enough to fight us all? "

I just had to crack a joke but I had no idea if that was a smart thing to do. I did look like i was strong as well as my body was ripped and my eyes showed determination. But this guy should have been strong to lead a army and own a part of this land. I unsheathed my two curved blades as I ran up to him just trying to test him out but keeping my distance at the same time and would slash slash both blades in the opposite directions of each other able to cut of a head. Lets see what speed and strength this man had.

As he seems to have figured out my intend and stepped back my blade barely missed his mark, I then felt a push forcing my blade be pushed further but it could have worked on somebody that didn't understand his own body, I would let him push the blade just giving me more speed as I would spin around faster then I was before thanks to the push. The man was getting smarter as it was a nice try. if I had forced back against it I would have been open and he would have been able to hurt me.

As I would follow the motion of the push I would spin around placing one feet further behind to create distance in the spin so only my blade could hit and not his weapons. It was the perfect distance for me and the worst for him. up close he would be able to fight better and further away he had the daggers he could trow but from here he was almost defenseless. The spin would almost double my speed as I used his force with my speed and my right blade would make a fast slash towards the man his chest, my knee's were bend abit to gain better balance and my left blade once again raise up in defense as I would pull my right sword back as soon as I could after the attack to make sure he could not use it again.
