The Lion staggered back in surprise as Senshi entered the room and collapsed, the scent of smoldering flesh biting his nostrils.
SEND FOR A HEALER...NOW! Taiyo barked to the Daidoji guard, mustering the presence he used when commanding the 5 thousand men and women in his legion. He quickly moved to assist the injured Scorpion, but was waved off by the tortured bushi. Instead, Taiyo stepped behind him and swiftly shut the door, daring a quick glance at the monster in the other room. Returning to his charge's side, Taiyo awaited further orders.

In silence Yasuki Chad fell into step. He knew word of Senshi's condition would procede them, He would not be stopped. The Lion, however..... well, emotions ran hot, and it would be best to keep an eye on him. It would be unfortunate if he didn't make it out of the city.

"Taiyo san. It is time... to go. Now." Senshi walked under sheer determination. They would have their victory, but Senshi had his. So long as he just walked. May all that would judge him never see him as weak of soul. As he left the palace, he made a show of walking tall as the Crane defenders watched him.
And for a few glorious moments, stretched out to an eternity, Senshi stood proud. Nothing could bring him down. May they judge me now. he thought harshly as he looked around at all the defenders of Toshi Ranbo. But no man could take that much pain. And though he would have wished to have made it out of the city first, he collapsed. He retained consciousness through force of will alone. But refused to become indebted to any one present. So he stood up again, and carried his pain with him, all the way to the gates, and into the battlefield.

Hai! Senshi-sama......Meeting the Scorpion's gaze one last time, understanding was written on Taiyo's features. There were no more words to say.
In an act of supreme humility, the Lion bushi slowly lowered himself to the ground and prostrated himself before the Scorpion Clan Champion. In his mind, no other action could adequately show the level of respect Taiyo had discovered for Senshi today.
He quickly raised himself up, and without another glance, turned and marched out towards the Lion Wardens who awaited him just beyond the gate.
Telling Tomatsu about this was going to be...difficult.

Senshi slowed his pace outside the city walls, and glanced at Taiyo, of all things, he grinned. "Shall they remember this as the day Toshi Ranbo fell silent."
And indeed, not a sound was being made as Senshi returned to his camp. Though the fighting had been fierce only hours before, now the only sound was that of the crackling fires in all the camps and homes. No Crane nor lion, no Imperial or traitor, uttered a sound.
Senshi turned and faced the city, then summoned his last ounce of strength, "No one forgets this is the day when Toshi Ranbo fell silent!!"
