===Act LI: Retreat=== :>Akane led me back out of the tunnels. :>As I headed out, a pair of Hida went in, with a Kaiu. :>There were several Eta behind them. :>Going in to try and pull the corpses out, and reset some of the traps. :>The sky in the east was getting a little brighter. :>Dawn was not far off. :>I had been fighting down there for hours. :>I prepared to head up to the top, to see if there were more enemies. :>As I did, a horn blew, and the taiko drums spoke. :>They were pulling back again. :>I stood a moment, and then began to head towards the medical tents at the base of the Wall. :>I needed some water, and I needed to be cleansed after all that. :>And of course... I wanted to see Naomi. :>I did, and regretted it. :>She was outside, doubled over and coughing violently. :>Covered in gore as I was I couldn't even hold her up. :>All I could do was run over, and yell for someone to come. :>Another Kuni did. :>I pointed to the herb pouch hanging from her Obi. :>Her medicine, it's a tea. :>He nodded and took the pouch. :>He did pause to look at me. :>I'm fine, none of this is mine! :>He brewed up her medicine and passed her the cup when her fit passed. :>I took the opportunity to get a drink. :>Only when I had the water in my mouth did I realize how dry the back of my throat was. :>There was lump in it that made swallowing painful. :>Another Kuni poked her head out. :>She wrinkled her nose at me. :>There are purification rituals over there. :>I nodded. :>So many needed purification it was a rather rushed affair. :>We lined up, and were alternately doused with buckets of water to wash the worst gore off, and then hit with a cloud of salt. :>I coughed into the cloud. :>I wasn't the only one. :>Then a pair of Kuni waved bamboo rods with streamers on the end around our heads. :>And it was on to the next batch. :>I went back to see Naomi. :>She was still panting, but it was more like the panting of someone who had just run a long way and was laying down and resting. :>I rubbed her back, now that I was clean enough to touch people. :>You've been so busy taking care of everyone else you forgot to take care of yourself, didn't you? :>N-no, it is not like that Ishigaki-kun! :>Light cough. :>Sip. :>Sigh. :>I cupped her chin and pulled her face towards me. :>Oi. How much good will you be able to do if you collapse from overworking yourself. :>She looked down. :>But... there are so many. :>I hugged her. :>I know. But you shouldn't push yourself like that. :>Everyone else is. :>Everyone else CAN. :>She winced at my words. :>They were harsh, and I hated having to say them. :>But they were also true. :>She nodded. :>I sat down next to her. :>As soon as I did my body began to shake. :>The weakness that comes when the battle heat leaves washed over me. :>Namoi rested her hand on my leg, rubbing it as I waited for the tremors to stop. :>I wasn't sure when it happened exactly, but I fell asleep there. :>I awoke in the late afternoon. :>Not much time before it would grow dark. :>They would come again then. :>I ate quickly, and tried to find everyone to check on them. :>First I made my way around the medical tents. :>I spotted the flash of gold and green and walked over to Kitsuki-san. :>He looked up as I approached, and raised a hand in greeting. :>Worried about me? :>Well you DID get impaled on a bone spear... :>I'm fine now. Satoshi-san got me to Naomi-sama in time, as you can see. :>I'm just resting here until my armor can be repaired. Truthfully, I was worried I would have to settle for a spare suit of ashigaru. :>I grinned. :>The Kaiu work fast, and well. You'll have your armor. :>Speaking of Monkey... :>He's fine. He gorged himself on rice gruel and passed out somewhere. :>Hah. Damn Monkey. :>I nodded and left Kitsuki-san. :>I went up the Wall and found Toshiro, his limping gait making him stick out like a sore thumb. :>He had a bandage wrapped around his head, and was wearing a Do. :>I looked closer at the chestpiece. One size fits all, meant for ashigaru. :>And, on rare occasions, shugenja. :>The Wall under siege for miles along it's length by a thousands strong horde led by an Oni no Akuma was certainly one of those rare occasions. :>He was overseeing a small batch of younger Kuni who were placing sutras about. :>Toshiro addressed me without taking his eyes from their work. :>I was wondering if you intended to sleep through the rest of the battle. :>I looked back out over the Wall. :>Nope. Still plenty of fun to be had. :>He made his laugh-snort. :>I watched the Kuni dart about for a moment. :>What's all this? :>Preparation. :>Getting the Kami in the right mood so we can do more when they come again tonight. :>I nodded. :>Is Mantis-san still alive? :>Toshiro nodded. :>He's got quite the kill count. So far we've only gotten scrapes and bruises to show for the fighting. :>He did turn to look at me then. :>I heard Kitsuki-san was wounded badly down in the tunnels. :>I nodded. :>Monkey got him out. :>Toshiro breathed out a sigh and nodded. :>I left him to finish overseeing the preparations. :>One last thing to check. :>I found him pacing the Wall like a caged tiger. :>Staring out at the Horde. :>Everyone got out of his way, because he didn't seem to even see them. :>I stood at the end of his path, set the top of Kimimaru down on the Wall and folded my hands over it's pommel. :>For a moment I wondered if he really would walk right into me. :>But he stopped short and jerked his head towards me. :>Blinking a few times. :>Ah, Ishigaki-san. :>He turned away immediately, resting his hands on the top of battlements and leaning forward. :>What is it? :>I want to be where the fighting is thickest Masagoro-sama. :>He looked down at Kimimaru. :>Nodded. :>Do you think they will push the tunnels again? :>He pointed. :>I followed his finger. :>I could make out some large shapes moving among the horde. :>It took a moment for me to realize just how large though. :>The figures running around the large ones feet, and hanging off their backs were not goblins, but Ogres. :>Living siege ramps. :>Masagoro spoke. :>The last two attacks were merely probing us. This one is the real one. :>They will attack everywhere. But up here will be the worst. :>His beard almost hid it, but I saw him smile. :>I looked past him, to the signal fires. :>Eta were throwing bodies into them nonstop. :>Headless samurai, still in their armor, all burned together. :>As the setting sun turned the sky crimson, the Horde came forth. :>This time it was Ogres and Trolls leading the charge across the river. :>The engines on the Wall sprang to life. :>Arrows, boulders, burning pitch and oil all rained down on the hordes of Ogres rushing across the River of the Last Stand with their ladders. :>But Ogres were a bit sturdier than zombies and goblins, and several engines were silent, waiting for the Oni no Siege Ramps to come into range. :>So far more ladders struck the Wall than in the previous nights. :>We didn't try to shove them off right away. :>Instead we allowed the pitch and oil to burn away the Ogres trying to climb up. :>Flaming bodies rained down from middle of the wall, crashing into their fellows waiting below. :>They came on anyway, racing against the crews who had to refill the cauldrons. :>An Ogre head appeared over the top of the Wall. :>I struck it with Kimimaru, and then shoved the ladder. :>Though the Ogre held on, he was off balance enough that he could not fight back. :>The Ladder fell, the ogres on it screaming as it did. :>To my left and right similar scenes played out. :>Further down the I saw Mantis-san cut the head of the first ogre as a pair of Hida pushed at the ladder. :>A volley of arrows rained down after the falling ogres, buying more time as the foolish ogres rushed to right the ladders. :>The River of the Last Stand ran red as the sky. :>This pattern repeated several times, as we methodically destroyed the ogres. :>The last rays of the sun were dwindling, a slim red sliver on the horizon. :>As I shoved another ladder over, two more took it's place immediately. :>Toshiro yelled then. :>Back! BACK! Let them come up! :>We stepped back as the Ogres began to crest the Wall. :>The looked around, confused by the sudden lack of resistance. :>Then they smiled, convinced we feared them. :>Toshiro smirked. :>DO IT NOW! :>A half dozen Kuni, who had been praying for some time, raised their heads and pointed. :>Green energy surrounded them all, lifting their hair, filling their eyes. :>It raced from sutra to sutra, traveling far down the Wall. :>Then it burst forth, bathing the top of the Wall in Jade flames. :>The brilliant energy threw back the encroaching shadows, making it as bright as noon for just a moment. :>When it passed, the ogres were gone. :>Burned away to ash so fast they couldn't even cry out. :>The sun had gone down. :>Night had fallen. :>The Wall shook as a full volley erupted from the engines. :>The Oni no Siege Ramps were coming. :>We had no time to shout our defiance, as more and more Ogres poured up from the ladders. :>We fell upon the beasts, tetsubo and ono and dai-tsuchi impacting against ogre flesh. :>A pair of ogre seized the arms of a Hida, and pulled. :>He screamed in unimaginable agony as his arms were torn from their sockets. :>I cried out for vengeance and fell upon them, three of my kin at my back. :>The Wall shook, and not the way it did when the engines fired. :>A great fanged maw was cresting the top of the Wall. :>A dozen bushi lay before it. :>They were all missing large chunks of their bodies. :>It's teeth were bloody. :>And then I heard the shriek. :>The same shriek I head in the canyon. :>This Oni wasn't carrying Ogres. :>It had the Lost cavalry. :>And the Dark Moto that led them. :>The Wall froze at that creature's wordless howl, for it somehow contained uncountable blasphemies and promises of dark fates for all who heard it. :>In that moment of shocked stillness, the Lost charged. :>Onikage galloped past me, riders in black armor, their flesh distorted unnaturally with the taint of Jigoku struck at either side as they passed. :>I managed to fend of a half dozen blows before I was knocked down. :>My vision swimming I watched the Crab fall in rows before the Lost. :>I staggered to my feet, shaking my head to clear it. :>Toshiro was leading the Kuni in another chant. :>The Kuni finished their prayers and a wave of calm flooded over me. :>Not the emotionless calm I felt once before, but rather a calm determination. My failing courage had been reinforced by the Earth Kami. :>And not just me. Wounded Crabs were standing, living Crabs were striking back at the Lost. :>The Dark Moto's empty sockets turned towards the Kuni. The hellish light that burned in them flaring brightly. :>I stepped between him and the Kuni. :>It looked at me. :>It's jaw opened. :>And a hissing gurghleing noise issued forth. :>I blinked. :>Then I realized what I was hearing. :>It was laughing at me. :>It calmly drew it's katana and walked it's Onikage towards me. :>For all my bulk, I am still surprisingly fast. :>Hard won experience lets me react quickly. :>The Dark Moto was much faster. :>Exploiting it's advantage it swung it's blade down at me faster than I could react. :>The tip found a gap between my Do and Sode, and plunged into me. :>It's eyelights flared again, then it stood up in it's saddle and lifted it's blade high. :>I cut down through my kabuto, I jerked my head back, my forehead gashed open. :>I knew my training as a Defender of the Wall had just saved my life. :>I also knew that while the Dark Moto was surprised to run into me, he was neither afraid nor unsure of how to fight me. :>This thing had existed for centuries. Of course it had faced Defenders in the past. :>And it was here in front of me now. It had survived those fights. Probably won them. :>I hoped Mantis-san would get here quickly. :>There is no grace in the way the Hida fight. :>We stand firm, and defend ourselves. When our enemy leaves even the smallest opening, we strike at it with all our might. :>Our heavy armor, our strong Earth, allow us to take those risks. :>Against the timeless monster I now faced, I paused. :>I covered myself, lifting Kimimaru high to ward off his rapid strikes. :>The demon horse snapped and kicked at me as well. :>The fires of Jigoku burned in its eyes as well, and I knew it hungered for my flesh. :>The Dark Moto struck at me again and again, probing my defense, seeking to pry me from my shell. :>It tried to cut at my hands, my wrists, my fingers, seeking to dislodge Kimimaru from my grasp. :>It spurred the Onikage to lurch to the side, slamming it's bulk against me to take me off my feet. :>It slashed at my exposed head, then tried to rake it's boney claws across my eyes. :>Though I could feel it's hatred behind every blow, it did not rush. :>I was strong. But I would tire. It would not. :>The whoopfing of leathery wings behind me told me the Kuni were too busy to aid me in this fight. :>Was it enough just to hold it's attention here? :>No. :>There were Oni attacking the Wall, and Kimimaru needed to be there. :>First, I needed to get him off his horse. :>Kill the Onikage? :>Unseat the rider? :>... :>Both. :>As the Onikage snapped its fangs at me I brought Kimimaru up under it's jaw. :>Bone cracked, and leathery flesh tore from it's skull. :>The Onikage reared back from the force of the blow. :>It was dead. It felt no pain. :>As the Dark Moto shifted to maintain his balance in his saddle I struck at his chest. :>I saw the hellight in its eyes flare as I attacked. :>His armor cracked under the weight of Kimimaru and I pushed him from the saddle. :>Though he hit the ground he rolled with the fall and came up on his feet. :>The wound I dealt to him was closing, his bones reforming and realigning as I watched. :>Great. :>It laughed again. :>I wasn't good at hiding my emotions, after all. :>It stood, staring at me. :>I heard something that might have been a whinny. :>Crap, the Onikage! :>I whirled around just in time to see a cloven hoof slam into my face. :>I wasn't sure if the sound I heard was my skull cracking or the Onikage hitting the ground after it had reared up, because my vision went white, then black. :>I could feel my body staggering back. :>Then pain in my back. :>My vision cleared. :>I spun again, as the Dark Moto sliced into me a second time. :>I fell back, against the edge of the Wall, so they couldn't do THAT again. :>Getting him off his steed only eliminated a small advantage the Dark Moto had. :>But I had failed to kill the Onikage, so I was still outnumbered. :>The Dark Moto hissed. Not a laugh this time. :>Frustration? Surprise? Satisfaction? Anger? :>It is surprisingly hard to read the emotions of a bare skull. :>It began to advance on me. :>No stance. It held it's blade casually at its side. :>I was getting sick of being taken so lightly. :>I switched up my stance, calling up the Power of the Mountain. :>I used this kata rarely. I hit hard enough on my own most times. :>The I smashed that grin off the Dark Moto's face. :>It took a step back. :>Then it straightened it's head with crackling noise that made my own neck ache. :>Well, bare skull or not, I was fairly certain I had pissed it off. :>I spoke to it. :>You see? Don't take me so lightly monster. :>It nodded. :>The Onikage came closer, getting ready to strike at me. :>And then it fell. :>Mantis-san rose up from behind it, black blood dripping from his Kama. :>I had seen a painting of Yoritomo once. :>Tsuruchi Daigo reminded me of that painting right now. :>Nice of you to join me. :>He grinned back at me. :>Trying to steal all the best ones for yourself? :>The situation had reversed. Now it was the Dark Moto who was outnumbered. :>Watch out, the bastard's wounds heal quickly. :>Mantis-san grunted in acknowledgment and we began to circle around the monster. :>I shifted my stance again, ready to strike at the Dark Moto if it swung at Mantis-san. :>Now with Mantis-san we had a chance. If I could knock it down, Mantis-san could kill it. :>He sank low, running around it and slashing at it's flanks. :>It struck back, but Mantis-san rolled under it's blade. :>Then I knocked aside it's follow up with Kimimaru. :>I followed through, driving into it with all my weight. :>I pushed it back, but it kept its feet. :>It's skull leaned in close, Kimimaru locked with it's blade, and hissed at me. :>The stench of it's corrupt breath was worse than an Eta village, and my eyes watered up. :>Mantis-san let out a fierce Kiai and struck it from behind. :>He then darted back out of the thing's reach. :>I could see we were damaging it faster then it could heal. :>If we could just keep this up... :>The Dark Moto drew it's wakizashi and threw it at Mantis-san. :>The blade punched through his Do, into his abdomen. :>I screamed with rage as I lashed out at it, hitting it over the head. :>It's kabuto flew off, and it's head snapped down in a bow from my blow. :>Then I swept Kimimaru through its legs. :>It fell this time. :>Mantis-san leapt through the air, and let his body drive his kama into the thing's forehead. :>I picked Mantis-san up. :>Can you stand? :>Yeah, it looks worse than it is! :>He hissed as he yanked the Moto's wakizashi out of his guts. :>Blood spurted from the wound. :>He clapped a hand over his wound. :>It'll take more than this to kill me. :>A rattle of armor jerked both our heads around. :>The Moto was standing up. :>The top of it's skull was gone, along with it's right eye socket. :>Rotten brains spilled from it's open head. :>It screamed at us both and raised it's katana. :>I pushed Mantis-san back as it rushed at us, taking it's attack head on. :>More shallow wounds, weakening my body, loosening my soul's grip bit by bit. :>I could see marrow sliding up from the cut in it's skull, and bone following up the marrow. :>It was still healing. :>Mantis-san and I were both in bad shape. :>The difference was in how many attacks I could receive. :>It tried to circle around me, to reach Mantis-san. :>I moved with it, blocking it's path. :>It knew if it could kill one of us, the other would be easy pickings. And it could kill Mantis-san faster than it could kill me. :>I had to keep it's focus. :>So I gave it chance to kill me. :>I cast aside all thought of safety, and attacked. :>Kimimaru shattered armor, clavicle, and shoulder. :>The Dark Moto's neck, lacking support, bent to the side. It's skull rested sideways on it's opposite shoulder, the opened top aimed at the sky like a cup. :>A cup full of black, mushy brains. :>It could not pass up such an opening. :>With a one handed thrust it drove it's katana into my stomach, all the way to the tsuba. :>It had been a long time since I felt such pain. :>I grinned and wrapped my arms around it. :>Mantis-san was waiting for that moment. :>He lunged, kama a blur as he slashed. :>Again. :>Again. :>Again. :>The Dark Moto screamed, a sound that scraped against my teeth. :>The light in its eyes flared brighter than ever. :>Then went out. :>It's bones turned to sludge in my arms, leaving me holding onto an empty suit of armor. :>My knees buckled. :>Mantis-san grabbed me before I could fall. :>IDIOT! :>He pulled the blade from me. :>You're tough, not invincible! :>I know, Daigo. :>I'm not dead yet, am I? :>A roar that threatened to burst my ears put a stop to our conversation. :>A samurai had stabbed a Yari right into the eye of the Oni no Siege Ramp, and it was shaking its head. :>The samurai didn't' let go of their yari in time. :>Their body was tossed up into the air, over the south side of the Wall. :>A Kaiu snapped her tessen down, and the Wall shook again. :>The Oni's legs were engulfed in flames, and ballistae bolts pierced it's thick hide. :>It was already pierced by a half dozen, and covered with arrows. :>This last volley seemed enough. :>The thing toppled and in its death throes it shook the Wall worse then even the siege engines. :>I lost my balance and fell. :>ISHIGAKI! :>An ogre was looming up over me, club raised. :>A brown shape ran into view, a katana sank into the ogre's side. :>The momentum carried them both to the edge of the Wall. :>And over it. :>I saw Mantis-san dive to edge as I staggered back to my feet. :>I ran over and looked down. :>At Monkey hanging onto Mantis-san's hand. :>He was dangling one hundred yards above a Shadowlands horde. :>He looked down, then up at us. :>And grinned. :>For some reason, his right side was covered in Jade powder. :>Hi guys! :>Could you maybe pull me up? I really don't wanna go down there. :>God. :>Dammit. :>Monkey. :>I grabbed his other hand, Mantis-san and I pulled with everything we had. :>We got Monkey back on the Wall. :>We sat there, panting for just a moment. :>What the hell are you doing up here? :>Looking for more jade! :>It's uh... getting kind of bad down in the tunnels. :>Toshiro limped over, handing Kimimaru back to me. :>It's about to get worse. :>Huh? :>He pointed. :>Three more of the siege ramp Oni were coming. :>At a full charge. :>BRACE YOURSELVES! :>The Wall SHOOK as the behemoths slammed into it. :>And dozens of Oni no Nosloc leapt onto the Wall. :>I raised Kimimaru and charged, the Crabs and my friends right behind me :>But even as we strove to drive back the Nosloc, more and more creatures came up the ladders. :>We were being overwhelmed. :>Slowly our line bent back. :>A Kuni came up behind me, healing some of wounds. :>I turned to thank him. :>He was already laying on the ground, three goblins on top of him, hacking into his dead body. :>I killed them all, and quickly took his head off. :>Fire fell into the back of the Horde, trying to stem the flood. :>The Wall wasn't shaking anymore. :>The engines had been overrun, flying monsters tore at the abandoned weapons. :>I took a step back to gain room to swing Kimimaru. :>And my foot fell on the top step of the Wall. :>A chill ran up my spine. :>No. :>No. :>NO. :>I raised Kimimaru, determined not to take one more step back. :>And the taiko drums sounded. :>FALL BACK! :>RETREAT! :>BACK TO SHIRO KUNI! :>FALL BACK! :>The orders echoed down the line, across the Wall. :>We could not hold them here. :>My mind flashed back to the divination. :>Shiro Kuni would burn. :>I yelled over my shoulder. :>TOSHIRO, DAIGO, SATOSHI! :>GO HELP NAOMI! :>I saw them nod and take off down the steps. :>She would not leave a single wounded man behind. :>As they ran, I formed up a line at the top of the steps. :>WE HOLD THEM HERE! :>BELOW US ARE TENTS FULL OF OUR WOUNDED! :>YOU ALL KNOW WHAT IS AT STAKE! :>FOR YOUR KIN, FOR YOUR CLAN! :>HOLD! :>THIS! :>LINE! :>My brothers and sisters screamed their defiance with me, into the wave of teeth and spines that was about to break over us. :>I was engulfed in Mushin no Shin. :>Over and over my arms raised Kimimaru and struck. :>I knocked aside claws and fangs and clubs that came after the bushi on my sides. :>They did the same for me. :>Over our shoulders yari stabbed into the horde. :>I sank my stance down, leaning forward into the press of bodies. :>My feet skidded backwards, over the step. :>The bushi behind me supported me, and I did not fall. :>Nor did I lift my feet. :>Not. One. Step. :>Men and women fell around me, and others took their places. :>Even in death, my fellow Crabs tripped the horde, made the monsters footing unsure. :>Buying us precious seconds. :>I slid back again. :>And my foot did not go down another step. :>We had been pushed down the Wall. :>Counting me, only five of us were left. :>The tents were just behind us. :>I looked. :>Crabs were carrying the ones who could not walk by any means they could find. :>Two peasants were dragging a fallen Hida, still in her armor, buy her shoulder straps. :>I saw Toshiro and Naomi standing side by side at the edge of the tents. :>They were aglow with power. :>Blue and Green energy swirling and mingling around them in a vortex. :>A wall of water rose up before me, halting the advance of the horde. :>And then the sky rained fire and lighting. :>Several more kuni stepped up, adding to the storm of power, Flames, Lightning, Jade, Stones and Thunder ravaged the first ranks, held back by Naomi's spell. :>Monkey yelled over the cacophony of destruction. :>THAT'S IT! :>EVERYONE IS OUT! :>At that I ran and grabbed Naomi. :>Mantis-san grabbed up Toshiro. :>As the horde tried to recover from the devastation we ran. :>The sun rose in the east, and beheld the Crab Clan forced off of the Wall. :>First we raced, trying to open as much distance as possible between us and the horde. :>The horde did not give us much time. :>They did not consolidate, nor did the fall back with the dawn as they had before. :>The other sections of the Wall would engage them, striking into the Horde from both sides to retake the part we had lost. :>But for now, we had to deal with the pursuit. :>Naomi healed my wounds as I took the rearguard again. :>We fought on, walking backwards, keeping the bulk of the horde from running past us and reaching the wounded ahead. :>Hiruma Akiyama and Hiruma Akane fought along with us. :>She was a whirlwind of death, her twin masakari never stopped moving as she spun through the enemy. :>He was a bit more straightforward, swinging his No-dachi in wide sweeps. :>But he stepped into every swing, never standing still. :>We fought on until our arms and legs were numb, until we could not even think. :>It was growing dark. :>My numbed brain tried to get my attention. :>It was too soon for that. :>A cry caught my attention. :>Akiyama was looking up, at the sky. :>I followed his gaze. :>The moon was beginning to eclipse the sun. :>I looked down and back. :>Shiro Kuni stood, it's gates open. The first of the wounded were reaching in. :>A horn blew. :>REAR GUARD FALL BACK! :>What? :>Then I heard the echo of drums. :>Coming from the tall tower outside Shiro Kuni. :>It's gate opened. :>A banner stood in the open gate. :>A Crab. Black. Clutching a piece of rotted jade. :>Hundreds of bushi, few wearing any armor at all, stood behind it. :>A horn blew again. :>And the Damned charged forth. :>We fell back, clearing their path. :>We look away when they enter that fortress.. :>We look away when they take their tea. :>But for this, we look. :>We will not shame them for their fall. :>We will remember their redemption forever. :>A wave of darkness slammed into the horde as the sun was fully eclipsed. :>I saw Kumori rush past me. :>Our eyes met. :>His eyes were completely black. :>Then, he was gone.
