Shou would be mid rearming, sword almost in his hand his weapon back. As the sound of a large explosion would make him change his coarse of action and look up. The large man was almost flying towards, as another explosion would bring him flying toward him even faster. Shou didn't have enough time dodge completely, or block effectively and as such fell back on using his new powers. 

Calling up the power of light around him, Shou surrounded himself in protective barrier, while bringing up a dagger in attempt to defend. Brandt's sword however was a awesome force, ripping the small dagger from his hand painfully, the crack of the sound of bone made it sound like finger broke, but Shou gritted his teeth. However the blades path continued cutting into his arm as it passed and Shou tried to back out of reach with the block. Shou would let out a guttural growl, but would keep his composure, not falling to the anger of getting hurt. 

As Brandt propeller of destruction continued, the blade coming around once more, Shou would dash forward, diving at the man lower back. The shield got in the way a little. Hopefully taking the man to the ground, Shou would quickly roll of him and two his feet. Bladed leg kicking at the man, while he was still on the ground in the side of the lower left leg. Attempting to hamstring the large man and make it harder for him to move effectively once he got to his feet. Kicked delivered Shou would back off, flicking a dagger into his good hand. Ready to attack the man again while he attempted to stand.

Shou catch his sword from dealing with the last of the soldiers at the armoury, swinging it in order to clean it of blood. Above clouds parted and the weather seemed to improve. And ahead was the main force of the Imagawa army. Shou looked back to Koboyashi and the men, nodding at him before spurring Gokaze forward. 

Shou would charge toward then army, expecting the rest of the force to follow. With a powerful toss, Shou's blade would slice through the first line of confused Imagawa soldiers, before flew back in time for him to catch and charge into the enemy line. The idea was to break the enemy line, while they were still confused so that the rest of the force from the armoury could charge in and scatter them.

Shou watched as the first couple of men tried to tackle the wall and fell. Noting that the handhold started moving. That was interesting. Shou turned to Koboyashi. "Try to make the men keep up." Shou would joke with the captain before rushing at the wall as and example to the rest of the unit. Rather then try to climb Shou leaped. Off the ground and pretty much at the wall, is right leg would kick into the wall, and push himself leaping upwards, arms out stretched.

The first thing in any situation is to look for a different method, rather then climb, he went for a more direct approached. It was that hard either, Shou arm above his head was only a few feet shorter then the wall. If it had been taller, this would have worked, but seeing as it was short he only needed a few extra feet from the jump and kick to grab on. Pulling himself up as quickly as he could, Shou stood atop it panting, pulling himself up had been the hardest part, that and how he had slammed into the wall after having grabbed it. Shou would then crouch down, ready to help the rest of Koboyashi's unit following his example. 

Shou would carefully read over the document he could see on the desk without touching any of them, no point leaving any trace. He would then check the room eventually finding the locked cabinet. 'Damn' He though to himself, locks weren't something Shou was good at, now he wished that he confided in Yamada but couldn't have taken the risk that the spy would have reported the accusation to the traitor.  

He couldn't fail though, he had to try. Silently sliding one of his small curved daggers into each hand, Shou would crouch down, using the curved point like a thieves tools he would try to open the lock as silently as he could. Keeping a eye out on the sleeping man for any sign of movement. 

Symphony of steel, Shou didn't quite like the sound of that. It made the large man sound like he took more pleasure in fighting, then Shou ever could. That sword also was really quite big, and the shield would provide decent protection. Well nothing said he had to fight fair, he would show this giant that a strong arm and large weapon wasn't the only way to win a battle. 

Shou would draw his own sword, and slide a dagger into his left hand as well. "If you can hit me that is." Show would answer, before jumping back and throwing the sword. It wasn't aimed right at the man, but thrown so that the sword would head away from the man's blade, before curving in once it had cleared the weapon. His other hand would click the medallion on his daggers and gently toss it at the man's feet, causing darkness to sprout up around him at the same time the sword came at him. 

Shou would then dash in quickly, a burst of speed. Daggers would be flicked into his hands, but it wasn't them that Shou would attack with. Instead he would duck under the man's blade. A sweep kick aimed at the man's ankle, the near invisible blades on his ghost shell greaves planning to take him out out at the ankles. The bigger they are the harder they fall as they say.

(OOC: Activating, Flying Talon daggers, darkness lasts till end of next post. Activating Boots of the Agile Trickster, +1/2 base dex for one post, Current Dex 73, 1 of 3 used, kick attack is less accurate.)

Shou was please with the sight that greeted him however he wasn't going celebrate just yet. He would make a quick trip around the horse, looking for any other guards that were making sure the horse weren't going to be take. 

If there were none, he would quickly lead the men to mount up. The lead them out of the camp. If they were stopped he would try and fool anyone that they were heading out to search for the Takeda soldiers. Without revealing that they were in fact them. 

Shou would gear up with the Takeda soldiers quickly. He would take a short sword, for appearance and back up. However he main desire was some form of ranged weapon. However throwing daggers were out of the question, and he instead pulled out a single short bow and small quiver of arrows. "Everyone ready?" Shou would ask and wait until he was sure everyone was. 

"We will leave in grounds of three, if 5 of us leave all at once when their is meant to be 5 in here it will look a mite odd. Try to make it look like you searching with purpose and follow me." Shou would quickly instructed. Poking a head out side he would check to see if the way was clear, and then lead 2 of the men outside, and into the nearest bit of cover the could be seen from the cell house door.  Shou would keep a eye out, waiting for when the best opportunities would be before signalling another 3 men to come out and hide with the others. 

Shou would follow the direction to the man's room. However upon arriving he would open the door straight away. He would quietly listen at the door first, finding out that the room was occupied due to the sound of writing inside. Cursing internally, he put of the feeling before knocking and entering inside. Shou would bow, to the traitor at the desk, annoyed that he had to do so. Taking the opportunity with his head bowed, to look around the room. He wan't to see where the man might hide things from sight. 

Raising from the bow, Shou would walked over and carefully hand the fake message over to the spymaster. Hoping that the man would believe it, but managing to keep his face blank. Shou would respectfully place his hands behind his back, and wait. If the man believed it, Shou would take the tube and leave. Happy with knowing the lay out of the room. He would then head father into the castle. Listening at the door opposite to the spymaster he would try and see if it was empty. He needed a place to hide until either the man left his room, or went to sleep. 

As the booming voice of Lord Shingen filled the the camp, Shou was on his feet in seconds. He had already been awake for the last half an hour. Talking casually with Captain Koboyashi. Like Shou the captain was also on his feet. The pair quickly roused the other men of the unit. Physically dragging the few unable to wake quickly  enough to there feet. Their unit wasn't the first to react, but they were not far behind. The men would be marched quickly out to Lord Shingen. Fully dressed and weapons on person, at the ready, as if this wasn't training drill. 

Shou smiled slightly, please with himself and Koboyashi at the praise from Lord Shingen. "Yes Lord Takeda." Shou would say with the rest of the men. Captain Koboyashi and Shou would lead the unit off in the direction instructed over to the training area where General Sanada was. 

I'll take a thread with either Shou or Gabriella if you want.
