Takehiro would remove himself from the nords blade and then pick it up to give it to him. Sore arms would struggle slightly but he would hoist the weapon up into its scabbard. It seemed to Brandt that the man was a decent human being and hell of a warrior to boot.
"I think my fill of booze is the p-perfect medicine.."
Brandt would wince slightly as he moved. His body was going to hurt for a bit, but he would soldier through it. Reaching back he would tear some cloth from his cloak and begin to wrap it around the wounds on his head. He cared not for the scars. Battle trophies that he would never lose.
"How is it that you became so.. s-strong?"
Following behind Takehiro, he couldn't help but wonder. He had unimaginable power. Brandt didn't think he was that old. But who knew, maybe his looks deceived. Physically they sure did.

Brandt stared in disbelief at the bolts that practically hovered upon what he initially though was contact. The giant stood there, his arms drooping down at his sides. Whatever this man was, he didn't seem human.
Eyeing the energy which formed into another blade, Brandt would lower his head for a moment in defeat. He had to stop here, after all this hadn't been a fight to the death. Brandt knew he was lucky that it wasn't.
"Brandt.. O-of House Solveig.."
The giant ls words would roll out as he straightened put his posture and stood as firmly as he could in his condition. It seemed that he had truly found the man of future legend. Brandt felt humbled in the aftermath of the battle. Allowing those pale hues to scan the scarred earth which now made up the village center.
"I hail from the north.. I have t-traveled far in search of w-warriors like yourself.. It is an honor to have matched blades with such a man.."

"Im battle-born.. I go wherever my sword takes me."
Brandt would look towards the female, the fire casting light upon his scared face. Those pale hies would study the woman for a moment before he realized how awkward that might make her. Casting a glance back toward the fish, he would reach for one more as he spoke once again, though he intended it toward both women to here.
"I have heard.. Of great conflict here in Japan.. In times of conflict, my most useful skills are.. highly sought after."

Much to Brandts amazement, he could not set his eyes upon him. By the time it dawned on him to look into the sky, he felt the weight and fravity behind Takehiro's body take hold. Brandt was weakened, and in his state he lost grip of his weapon immediantly. However he was not helpless, nor was he unarmed. The nord would simply stare towwrd the man jn his broken state for a moment as he absorbed what Takehiro had said. He took his words with pride, however he still felt like he had something to prove.
"I'm.. O-one of a.. kind.."
With a slight shift of his wrist the giant would release a burst of bolts toward the Demon of Totomi. The five arrows aimed toward his midsection. Brandt doubted very much that he would kill him. But he may have caught him offguard with the crossbow gauntlet. Having not made use of it thus far in the battle.

With a thud of his own the Nord would land upon his shoulders, having managed to tuck his head before he landed upon the ground. He had managed to knock away Takehiro, but his arms were still suffering from the previous block. He would shake his hands to get the feeling back as those pale eyes of his watched his opponent unbuckle something at ankle level.
The weight would crash against the ground, kicking up a dust cloud that threaten to swallow up the entire village. Brandt's vision would be useless as the light cast rays through the thick cloud of filth. And before he would even really have time to react he would feel as if the planet itself just booted him from behind.
Brandt didn't have a chance to save face, literally. Forced forward with such raw power he had never felt before, the nearly three hundred pound giant would wind up smashing forehead first into the earth below. He would skid on his head for a few feet before he was knocked into a full on rag doll roll before finally grinded to a halt on his stomach.
Gasping for breath and reathing in pain, the giant tried to make sense of what had just happened to him. Brandt felt as if Odin himself had just struck him down. Coughing up blood and saliva alike, the Nord would begin to slowly regain control of himself again. Shaky arms would begin to lift him up as he came to the realization he somehow managed to maintain grip of his sword.
Audible seething would come from his blood speckled lips. He could feel the thick of red sliding down from the gashes on his forehead, turning his brown hair even darker. Hunched over, it was clear the man was feeling the after effects.
H-How.. the hell.. is that even.. p-possible..[/i]
Brandt's vision was still obstructed from the dust, but he planned to try and fix that. Grasping his sword with two hands, he would give a mighty heave despite his condition and pulled his blade up and around, using the flat end like a fan. He would do his best to send the rest of the cloud away.
He wasn't sure what Takehiro was doing, but with luck maybe.he would unintentionally score a hit on the demon if he had swooped in to attack. Otherwise he would locate him afterwards and figure out what to do next.

Brandt had already begun pursuing the man as he used his knee to gain some distance. As the beast approached the demon,Brandt eould catch sight of his blade dive into the earth as Takehiro approached in his attack. Shards of dirt and rock sprung into the air in front of Brandt. Already in movement, thr best the giant could do was lift his blade horizontally, angled near his forehead. The uneartged debris wasnt the problem. He would shield his eye sight from it, however he had blocked his vision enough that he didnt see the blade behind it.
The force from the blow would take Brandt by surprise, knocking his upper half backwards from the force. The vibration that rippled through his hands was immense. The Demon of Totomi was surely strong. However he would use this as a chance to return fire with what he could. As his upper half was forced backwards and down, Brandt would use some force of his own, thrusting his legs out in a drop kick of sorts, using Takehiro's momtenum againdt him.

That's quite a weapon you've got there, it would interest me to see the skill of a foreign swordsman.
"Show me what a Samurai.. IS CAPABLE OF!"
Before he knew it the battle started. His new opponent rushed at him immediately without beating around the bush. The giant could see that he was quick and knew immediately that he could find himself treading on thin ice if he wasnt careful. He would take a deep breath as Takehiro approached, eyes wide and waiting.
As Takehiro's body began to execute his attack, Brandt would shift his weapon deftly, tilting his own massive blade downward as his blade came in. Brandt's plan was to slam the tip of his own sword into the earth, his left foot sliding to press his toes against the edge to brace the block with the flat side if his own sword.
His goal was to divert Takehiro's strike downward and into the ground upon connection. He wasn't so nieve to underestimate the little mans strength. With luck his defense would work and allow him enough time to retaliate at such a close distance.
Brandt would roar out as he twisted his blade in the earth with his own body. That massive right knee thrust up as he twisted into Takehiro with an attempt to slam his knee into the little man's chest to knock him away. If it worked, He would immediately try to rush him.

The commotion near by had indeed drawn his attention quickly. The whirlwind of combat that took place seemed to lead Brandt to believe he had made the right decision by coming here this day. His gut told him the Demon of Totomi was nearby.
However once his eyes caught sight of the male which with ease dismantled the regiment of soldiers with ease, he himself almost found judgements of his own building. He couldn't believe that this man was the Demon, but he knew looks could be deceiving.
It didn't take too long though for the male before him to take note of the giant at the base of the tree. Brandt soon found Takehiro greeting him, and .inviting him to battle ontop of it. Brandt almost smirked at the offer, for he had already planned on it with or without permission. Stonefaced, the Nord would rise to his feet silently, before stoically moving toward the soldiers and their Daiymo.
As the crowd parted like the sea, the wind tugged at the cloak covering the behemoth's frame. However it wouldn't remain as the large male deftly tossed it into the sky, allowing the wind to take it as his hands grasped the massive sword now revealed. Hauling it up and over his head, Brandt would ready it at his midsection with the length of the blade angled toward Takehiro.
"Fate has brought us here this day.. I shall oblidge."
His voice was gruff and his accent was thick and heavy. However no ounce of fear trembled within his words. Staring toward the male before him, the Beast of the Northlands looked determined to leave him with a fierce impression here this day. |

Totomi.. Its said that he is the Daiymo here..
Pale green eyes scanned his surroundings carefully as he approached a village after a weeks rest from his last escapade. Brandt felt he had healed enough to finally get out and explore the area a bit.
As his figure came into view one would see a hulking mass hidden beneath a dark brownish-red cloak which fluttered in the breeze, revealing hints of a massive weapon slung upon his back.
His face hidden underneath his cloak, the look of the man was enough to send the weak hearted fleeing. It was far too often people judged by looks alone. And his stature didn't help him out all that much either. It was probably obvious to most that he was a foreigner.
However he was not here to provide for the Valkyrie. His intentions were initially to explore, but he had soon heard a lot of rumors about a warrior feared by some, and beloved by many as well. Part of him wanted to just face him in battle, to see if this legend in the making really stood up to the myth.
The other part of him was seeking something else. Brandt was interested in learning eastern methods of warfare and weaponry. With luck this man would accept to help the foreigner, he would try to convince him the best he could. His wordsmanship wasn't always the most eloquent.
What brought him to this specific location though, was a rumor that the man he sought would.be inspecting the village this day. He figured it would be a good opportunity to introduce himself should he find him. Moving toward the center of the village, Brandt would ignore the astonishment of villagers and wait it out for a while. Resting himself at the base of a large tree, the giant patiently wait as he took in his surroundings. |

Brandt had successfully saved himself,.but he nor Haruyuki were successful in saving the girl from the creature that dragged her around. Lucky she managed to save herself, which would allow Brandt to focus upon the last of the creatures. Which he would then choose to lunge toward the closest creature and force his sword forward in an attempt to impale it with his blade.
If Brandt was successful, he would lift the corpse or half alive creature up, before turning to locate the next and trying to fling the body from his blade like a projectile toward the next creature. These things were vicious, but Brandt would not travel to Valhalla this day. He had much more fighting left to do.in this world, before the next.

Brandt's face suffer a gash as a different creature lunged at him and brought.hkm to the ground. Gritting his teeth from the pain, the nord would think quickly before he suffered a worse fate. Twisting his right, Brandt would move his fist as close to the creature as he could before he would unleash a burst of five bolts into it in hopes of slaying it.
If he was successful, he would make it to his feet and cast a glance around to see one of the girls being dragged around the room. Lifting his right arm again, the viking would launch a series of bolts, leading the creature so that his chance of hitting thr girl was slimmer

Brandt wouldnt say anything after she thanked him, instead speedily getting her out from the tower and into the courtyard. The giant would make his way back toward the stable, before lifting the girl up onto the bench and climbing on to take the reins of the horse drawn carrage he used to get in. Without slowing down, Brandt would make his way through the gate and onwqrd to bring the girl home safely.

Brandt was successful in cleaving the crawler off Haruyuki, but at the cost of his own safety. However as he fell to the ground he would manuver his sword to rest across his chest flat with one hand on the underside to push up from the bottem to brace against the monster pinning him, pushing up to keep him away and to help Haruyuki have a better shot at taking him out.
If Haruyuki managed to finish it off, the giant would roll its corpse off him and get up o to his feet. While Haruyuki would move back to defend the gunner, Brandt would roar out as he jumped toward the crawlers throwjng himself and his massive sword into a whirlwind of destruction aimed at finishing off the last of them.

The large male sat upon his buttocks, mowing down fish left and right. One would think the man had starved for a month at the rate he was going. It hadn't been that long, but he had a stomach the size of a gorilla. He had remained quiet, out of the fact that he didn't really know either of these people. The giant kind of felt out of place.
However, Nanami soon spoke to him, asking where he was from. Casting a glance between the two females, he would remain silent for a few more seconds before he finally told them.
"Far north.. At the tip of the Jörð(earth).. Harsh weather.. Always cold.. Always warfare."
He would finish speaking, before he would stuff another half a fish in his mouth and munch away, staring into the fire as he did.

Brandt would stare into the mans face, at least what was left of it, before he would turn his attention to the dagger in his left forearm. Bracing himself, the nord would grasp the handle and growl under his breath as he removed the dagger. Crouching down he would wipe the blood off the blade and slide it into his belt as he grabbed at the keys with his right hand. Scooping them up, he would move toward the girl caged in the back.
"Dont worry.. Your grandfather paid for me to take you back to him.."
Unlocking her cage, the giant would return to the corpse of his last victim and tear a shred of cloth from his attire, wrapping his new wound the best he could for the time being, before he grasped the handle of his blade and hoisted up and into his sheath. Afterwards, Brandt would turn and look to the girl, making sure she was ready to go.
"Stick close to me.. I will keep you well."

Brandt would almost chuckle at seeing his own blade embedded into the ahoulder of his opponent. But he wouldnt have too much time to rejoice. As the leader pulled a knife with his right arm intent on stabbing Brandt with it. Swearing under his breath, the giant would release his owb blade, moving his left arm to intercept the knife. The nord would sacrifice his arm, butit was because he believed he had a shot at finishing him here.
While Brandt used his left arm as protection, his right hand would lift within inches of his enemies face. Yhat was when Brqndt would release a burst from his crossbow, intending to plunge five bolts directly into the man's face.

Damn it, Nearly chopped 'em off!
Brandt would just barely miss him as he relessed his blade. He didnt have time to adjust before he was shoulder tacklrd jnto the wall. Grunting out a pain, Brandt would bear his teeth as he watches his fellow giant grab his blade and plundge it toward him. The nord would wait until the last second to sidestep his left, and bringing his sword across in an arc to attempt to cleave the man from shoulder to midsection. Brandt knew he wasnt that fast, and nietherwas the other guy. Good timjng and precise actions would bring him out on top here.

Brandt didnt bother to retort, instead he stood steady waiting for his opponent to make the first move. When he came an swung his weapon at Brandt, he would react almost instinctively. He wasnt sure how strong the man before him was, so he would have shifted his blade from its ready position to slam i to his opponents own, Brandts handle lifted towars the sky as he put all his weight into it to ensure he could stop it.
As long as that worked, Brandt would lift upward on the handle of his sword and and in the same movement he would swipe it across and away. His goal was for his blade to slide over along the top of his opponents and allow the front end of his blade to attempt to slice right through the wrists of the enemy holding his sword. With luck he would cut both his hands off, or at least one. It remained to be seen. His movements were quick and tight, there wasnt a whole lot of wiggle room in this position.

"Yeah, well it looks like you've lost some men.. And now your going to loose her too."
Brandt would nod toward the female behind him. He felt sorrow when he looked upon her locked in a cage like a wild animal. And his attention would shift to the battle-worthy opponent before him. He was beginning to think all of the nationals here were midgets. He would look him over briefly, preparing himself to take this man on as he had the others. However he would offer him a choice now.
"Just let me have the girl back and I'll let you keep all of your limbs.."
Lifting his sword to the ready, The nord stared confidently toward the lord of this castle. At last he felt he would have a battle worth his time. This guy wouldnt be a push over, but this viking wasn't going to die here today. He would slay this man if he had to and return the girl to her family.

The creatures came suddenly, but it should have been expected. The previous wave had seemed far to simple a feat for it to be over so soon. The Crawler caught Brandt by surprise, kicking him in the midsection to knock him on the ground. The giant would regain composure quickly though, shooting back up onto his feet with his sword at the ready. Out of his peripherals he could see one of his 'female' companions pinned and in trouble.
That giant sword would be swung from left to right at the Crawler that had kicked him previously. His hopes were though thatthe sword would kill or damage the first, and continue on to hit the ones attacking Haruyuki. With luck he could at least save 'her' and give them some space.

"Well your boss is about to have a real bad day.. Get out of here."
Brandt would finish speaking and then push on past him. He wasn't too worried about the guard attacking him
He seemed far too cowardly to attempt it. The nord would let him live as he said, casting one last glance almost as if to warn him not to tell anyone on his way out. Brandt would then continue on as he had every floor before. He assumed he was nearing the top now. He would find out shortly as he moved up once again. Just as cautiously as he had been before.

Three guards stood after his furious onslaught. Those pale green eyes narrowing as they held their swords and continued to push toward him. And he would move to confront them. His blade lifting horizontally, with the flat side facing his adversaries. The giant would aim to clash against all three with as much strength and weight he could muster.
His goal was not to try to kill them with the blow, but to knock them backwards and off balance. He would then counter-clockwise around, dropping low to try and cut them down at the knees.
Brandt would not be stopped from completing his task. He felt it was part of his atonement to help free this child. He had done so much harm to innocent people that he could no longer ignore a situation like this.
If and when he finished off the guards, he would proceed upwards once again, stopping when he reached the guard who betrayed his friends. Brandt would stare toward him menacingly as his gruff voice sounded out.
"I'll keep my end of the bargin.. Your free to leave after you tell me where the girl your boss kidnapped is.. She up top? Think twice before you lie to me.."

Brandt would give a nod of approval toward the one holding firesticks. As much as Brandt didnt care for those kind of weapons, he would atleast acknowlefged that she had helped to save him some blood loss with it. However it wasnt time to be thinking about that kind of thing at the moment. They were in the middle of a haunted castle. Brandt wasnt about to let his guard down now.
Standing once again, the Nord would begin to follow the still unnamed 'female' he had first set eyes upon. Brandt would pull his weapon to the ready as he followed Haruyuki toward the treasure chest on the pedastal. Ever cautious, he would contj ue to cast glances about the room they were in. It seemed qnything could happen in this place.
"Tread lightly, friend.."

Swearing under his breath, the giant would rush up the staircase to catch sight of the guard trip and fall to the ground. Brandt would almost chuckle as he would ascend upon the guard. His massive blade dropped over the guard's shoulder, resting near his head. Hunching over, the Nord would speak low.
"Listen to me carefully.. I will let you live if you do one thing for me.. I need you to go upstairs and convince your buddies that there is an intruder trying to get into the tower. If you tell them Im already up here... I promise you I will tear you limb from limb.."
After he would finish speaking he would step over the man and walk toward the next flight of stairs, positioning himself on the left side with his back against the wall and his sword raised in preparation before motioning with his head for the guard to head up and warn the others.
Brandt reasoned that the guards ahead probably heard his prior screams anyways. If his threat worked well enough, the guards up stairs would rush by him to head down and he would once again have an advantage.
If they ran by, he would wait for the last to pass before he would take two steps and leap toward the group, twisting his body and spinning that massive sword around in a whirlwind technique to take as many out as possible.
