((This is a Yobanjin Battle Thread! The GM as it were is me of course, but naturally most of what happens to your character is in your own hands. This is a battle, and naturally it can shift just as the tide can!

The timing takes place after the Phoenix Champion's Ascension. Let the battle begin!))
Mountain watch keep, the stronghold barring the Yobanjin armies from the lands of Rokugan. Battered, damaged, and showing the wear and tear of the seemingly endless barbarian assault. Bodies littering the grounds, both sides suffering losses, but still the Keep holds.
The walls seem to be an endless canvas of the etchings of the enemy's assault. Their fighting was eternally illustrated by the weathering away of the sturdy stone and wooden defenses. The walls were held by numerous defenders, the bodies helping to somewhat fortify and deter those without the true heart for battle. Guarded by shugenja and archers alike, anyone that could bring down the oncoming hordes were aligned as needed, guarded by many who waited for the few lucky enough to break through the ranged attacks.
Beyond that still, if they were so lucky enough were absolute legions of samurai waiting and ready. It seemed rather clear that with such a battle setup, the Keep still holds.
However in the midst of it all, there is the undeniable reality of the inability for the defenses to push back and thus end this stalemate of a conflict. The Shogun marches to reinforce and finish the fighting with Rokugan's great armies and the blessing of the Emperor at his side.
But for now we look down to the continuation of this siege and the unyielding warriors who are entrenched amidst the battle.
The sounds of battle lulled for the moment, as it was just past dawn. While night fighting did occur, there was little to encourage the Yobanjin to strike when they could not see nearly as well as those defending the keep. The soft sound of horses coming into camp seemed to draw the attention of the shift of warriors that arose with the sun. The sight of the carriage and several horses both drawing and following it certainly drew the gaze of many of the sleepy eyed samurai as well as those finishing their shift.
Some would wonder and mutter amongst themselves, 'Who would be so bold as to ride in like this. Who comes to a great battle like a lord?'
Their answer would appear as the carriage came open revealing the two occupants. Those nearby who realized just who it was bowed gently, as Utaku Haruka emerged first, accompanied by Bayushi Senshi, Scorpion Clan Champion. Haruka would stride along with little interruption as the defenders seemed a bit dazzled to have a Champion arrive in the camp. Word would certainly spread quickly around the various campfires.
Haruka seemed hardly one to hesitate as she untied the black stallion Riku that she had brought along. However in a strange motion she untacked the beast and allowed him to go graze and rest with the other horses. An Utaku that brings her steed only to let it rest? She merely smiled as she watched Riku neigh gratefully and go to graze and mingle with the other horses, particularly rubbing against a grey Utaku mare he seemed to be familiar with. Haruka placing the tack down and going towards the commanding tent, Senshi joining her at her side only moments after.
"Well now, I'm sorry to have had to leave to represent the Unicorn in places afar, I would be happy to fight where needed as an apology." The commander somewhat awestruck by the notion of such duties being considered trivial by any means. But the importance of the battle certainly shined in the Utaku's eyes.
"We are not lacking in any particular set of forces against the Yobanjin. We could use some reinforcement on the wall though..."
Haruka seemed a bit displeased as a bit of a sly glance went Senshi's way, as if she had something more in mind. "I would much prefer to be closer to the wall and the front line defenses if you will. I would be of much greater use there."
The commander held out his arms at a loss. "Do not let me stop you most honorable Utaku, it is clear you've got your own preferences to battle. If you so wish it you can fight as you wish to. I wish you good luck and the blessing of the kami." He bowed respectfully as she strode out of the tent with a bit of pride.
"I cannot wait to see you fighting Senshi-sama. Such a rare opportunity for a Bayushi of your status to be seen in combat, it will be a fine thing." It wasn't something to pride yourself about having to kill, but when the thought crossed her mind to see him in battle, she couldn't help but betray a small smile.
She took up a lance as she began feeling the wood of it between her fingers, flexing her arms naturally for the feel of it if it would be appropriate for battle.

Senshi frowned as after Haruka spoke several of his men stepped forward to speak to Senshi in soft tones. He listened as they spoke then turned to Haruka.
"Utaku san, these two loyal and worthy Bayushi guards have asked to champion for me on the front lines with you. It would be an insult of their ability and honor if I were to refuse them."
To men clad in red armor with matching mempos turned and bowed toward her, the first one spoke, "It would be an honor to prove the honor and worth of my clan and champion beside you in battle Utaku sama." Echoed by the second, he said, "We shall endeavor to show the Yobanjin the terrible might of the Scorpion and the Unicorn."
With their backs turned and heads bowed, Senshi could be seen rolling his eyes. He could tell his clan would do everything in their power to keep him away from the thickest of battle.

She seemed to laugh a bit. "I knew I wouldn't get you far Senshi-sama, the Scorpion are far too guarded. But it was an entertaining thought I suppose. But the risk is far too great."
Upon further consideration she seemed to replace the lance for the moment. She spoke down to the weapon it seemed, "My apologies Haruki, it is not our time yet." She then reached for a fine longbow, and adjusted her armor for a wakizashi as well as a katana to be sheathed at her side. "I suppose I should consider my own future as well then, for now I will assist on the wall... besides it was what the commander had recommended."
She seemed to go ahead and stride towards the battle on her own. Leaving Senshi behind to deal with his clan as they would likely keep on him like bees to a queen taking their direction. It was not her place nor her interest to stay and mingle, her drive, stride, and attitude seemed to shift with every step she took as the battle maiden within Haruka began to stir.

"Dogu san, Konichi san, send word to the Lion and Crab camps, inform their commanders of my arrival, I will be overseeing the keep's wall. I thank you for your willingness to champion for me, it will not be required from my command position however."
The two samurai bowed with a "Hai, dono!" Then turned to run off to their duties.
Senshi watched as Haruka went off to the walls, a Yobanjin war drum pounding in the distance, then spoke over his shoulder, "Keiko san."
Another scorpion follower, who had blended amongst the soldiers by wearing ashigaru armor, stepped forward at his beckon. "Hai, dono."
"Keep an eye on her, as you would if it were me."
The shinobi in disguise gave her champion a hard stare, clearly something she was uncomfortable with for her own personal reasons, but she knew better then to say no. "Hai, dono." She then began to walk off, toward another stairway to the wall.
Senshi then had a retainer bring him a bow, and old hunting weapon Senshi had used to travel the mountains in his youth, hardly a weapon of war, but at least an old companion for the tough times ahead. He then followed after Haruka, wanting to see the source of the drums for himself.

The drums sounded deep in the hearts of the armies as the rising sun gave rise to new fighting. The Yobanjin and their futile battle cries sounding as they would begin their assault on the wall like waves against the rocks.
Senshi would watch as the air seemed to silently aid her step, her pace quickened as she approached the horizon to view the battlefield. She was only at the edge for a brief moment looking down on it all before she started drawing arrows. Effortlessly already beginning her supporting fire even from such a great distance. This was the tallest wall in the defensive line and closest to the camps and the keep itself. The enemy was easily well out of range for the average bowman and only the few skilled snipers set their sights out from such range.
With each release of an arrow, there was the painful sound following it, but Haruka's face hardened. Never flinching, controlling her breathing as her entire form seemed aligned with the bow. Few Yobanjin could ever be seen having made it this far, but the odd one did. While one lucky soul seemed to have made it through the ranks shouting as he killed one of the archers in a single slash of his blade, Haruka hopped down a level and drew her katana unwilling to let the soldier revel in the deaths of those around her. Blood already beginning to fall on her armor as her attention turned again to the distant foes.
Surely Senshi would be safe on the top level, the Scorpion champion would have little to worry about up there. Gradually it seemed Haruka continued her progression forward and down the ranks until about halfway. This was the point where the better fighters typically made it too before being dealt with. It wasn't front lines fighting but she wasn't throwing herself directly into the fray. She hoped that would do for now as she calmly focused on the fighting at hand.
While not necessarily in her element, Haruka showed her willingness to fight with the simple focus as their lives became effortless before her. Not a single arrow missed, but she fired with only a breath of hesitation compared to the other archers around her. It was only a small siege group and they would be dealt with rather easily.

Half a mile away from Mount Watch Keep, at the Lion Battlements
He appeared from his tent, taking a few steps out and over to a bowl propped up on a triangle stand. It was filled with clear, cool water. Tomatsu turned towards Mika, dressed in her usual Burning Sands head wrap and light armor with the Lion mon on it.
My Lord-sama, the letter says exactly that. You are requested to return to Mountain Watch Keep. It seems that the Unicorn in charge believes our situation is unattainable here. He believes our forces are wasted out here. She looked up from the paper, focusing her eyes on her beloved lord.
He dipped his hands in the water as he listened. He began to rub them together, to try to remove some of the dirt and blood from them. It had been 3 days of hard fighting, the champion not merely sitting back and directing, but rather fighting side by side with his men. Sharing in their pain and sacrifice. Tomatsu cupped some water in his hands and splashed it in his face. The water felt cool on his face, and helped to wash some of the blood and grime away.
He tugged a bit at his armor, he had been wearing it for three days straight, with no change of clothes. There had been no time. During the days the Lion warriors attacked the Yobanjin, but at night, the Yobanjin came at them. That was a mistake they made the first night they would not repeat. Everyone slept in their armor, with the weapons at their side. He reminded himself of the quote that Akodo had deemed important enough to put in his Leadership, one he had been told by Lady Doji. "War is the last resort, not because it is less glorious or less honorable, but because it is so taxing on the soul's of even the most hardy warriors." How true that was now.
He just looked at his wet hands. He clenched his fists and sent the water bowl clattering to the ground with a quick strike. Damn these petty clan differences. I'm sure that..... Son of a Gaijin is just worried we will take all his glory and honor. No, no calm down, he just doesn't see the big picture. Our position keep their position from being overrun.
His train of thought was interrupted by Mika's voice. My Lord, what shall we reply? The usual?
No, no, I'll go seem him myself. Take care of the details, we leave in an hour, thats time for me to pack on my own.
Two and half hours later, at Mountain Watch Keep
He road in, with Mika hot on his tail, at a fast gallop. He jumped down from the horse, his face betraying the mistake that was in pain. He took a few moments to steady himself, suddenly realizing how foolish it was to come this far, only to realize that he would never convince the Unicorn general of strategy. Something he missed about the Imperial legions was the unity of leadership.
15 Minutes later
Well that went as bad as expected. The dumb...... Not worth it. Just isn't worth it to work yourself up over this. Just try to relax. He said as he slowly walked back towards where his horse was stabled.

<Location: Lion Battlements>
Daisuke opened his eyes.
That was the only thing he could do. He wanted to stand up but his muscles just refused. Every part of his body just screamed one word: "Pain". And he wasn't even injured, well except from that small cut on his left arm, he was just so exhausted. The last two days weren't his normal duties, instead of just healing people and helping them from distance he had to fight alongside the samurai.
Especially at night. The nights were the worst part. When the first attack came he was in a tent with some other young Lions. They had practically no weapons and we're busy talking about how exciting this battle was. When everything was over it turned out all of them survived but some we're badly injured. That was when the battle became a fight for survival instead of an adventure. From that point he had to cut people with his katana, burn them with his magic and watch others die.
At times he wanted to just go back home, but he couldn't. Others we're fighting, others we're dying, if he ran he would be a coward and a traitor. And Lions are loyal. Lions are courageus. I'M KITSU, I AM LION! I WILL NOT BACK DOWN WHEN THE EMPIRE IS IN NEED!
Strenghtened by this thought Daisuke raised from his "bed" and went out of the tent. He felt really nauseus but withstanded it. *I can't loose my strenght, I just rested, now I need to eat something, drink and meditate.* He thought and went to get some food. On the way he met people that we're saved by him or people that helped him during the battle. If it was somewhere outside this world of fighting there would be favors to pay for such actions, but here it was just a part of life. They were brothers, and they depended on each other, it didn't matter if you were enemies outside of the battle, here everyone was Lion and everyone gave his life to others.
With these thought he ate and after that he started meditating, speaking with the kami and ancestors, resting his mind and soul for the fights that would come. He waited for the orders of their leader.

As the last of the Yobanjin fell, the walls rang out a mighty roar. "And so it shall be for ANY enemy of Rokugan!" The warriors around her cheering. It was simple, but her vigor and her words encouraged them.
It seemed strange to be watching her though. Where it seemed most had taken such a beating from the relentless onslaught of the armies, Haruka seemed ever more imbued with strength and zest. She came back to the upper levels with another bloody trophy in hand, having been able to single out the captain of the assault and deal with him personally.
"Hoi, Haruka-san, how many captains have you collected by now. Surely one day they might call you the woman who slayed one hundred captains..." She smiled a bit at the remarks as she wrapped the grisly remains in a cloth to be taken away. "Not quite, but I'm working on it." She muttered under her breath.
All small talk aside she rejoined her place up by Senshi who hadn't apparently been able to move much at all, let alone launch a single arrow it seemed. She bowed gently, "My apologies, I simply saw the enemy and had to step in and assist my brothers and sisters. And see, not a wound to be shown for it all." She showed her arms off a bit, but the same couldn't be said for her armor which seemed fairly covered in blood. She was breathing fairly heavily though, so it wasn't as if this was all effortless to her, but she took pride in what she did certainly as if this was what she trained her whole life to do.

Senshi's eyes followed her as she spoke, unmoving just as he stood. He hadn't fired a single shot indeed, his bow strung but draped over his shoulder, his arms crossed.
"I sent word to the Lion and Crab of our arrival, and I think I saw a Lion delegation approach during the skirmish. But I know not if my message reached him."
He turned his head toward her, "I watched you fight, and this may seem odd coming from me but... you throw yourself into the battle too eagerly, you are becoming overconfident. Were you at war with the scorpion and not the yobanjin, you would likely be very scarred. Your trophy is proof of your worth in battle, as are the many others, yet this skirmish hardly needed your attention."
He turned his head back to look for the Lion he saw earlier walk into the Unicorn commander's tent, and sure enough, out walked Tomatsu. Senshi calmly walked toward the stairs and said, "Come, lets go see Tomatsu san."
Without waiting for an answer from Haruka, Senshi made his way to the Unicorn command tent, an arm raised in greeting to his friend. "Hail, Lion Champion!"

He looked up from his hands, which he had taken to stare at again to try to sort through the thoughts in his head. He put on a weary smile at the sight of his friends, old and new. My my, Bayushi-san we are formal today, I can't recall the last time you referred to me by my title. Whats next, you actually going to call me the "Shining Lion"? There was a bit of mirth in his voice, but those who knew him could tell he was trying hard to not betray the fatigue he felt.
He walked over them. Glad to see that there are some warriors here with some sense, the Unicorn commander here, well hes less than a competent general. I see by your dress you aren't a stranger to the battle either. Where have you seen your fighting? We've been out about half a mile in front of the gate, trying to keep the roads open. Apparently some of the other generals don't see that as being important. He shook his head with disgust.

"Fools. Without the road the keep would only have supply to last ten nights, would be without reinforcement, and unable to last out until the shogun or emerald champion arrive." He looked apologetically at Haruka, realizing he may have been insulting her clan too late.
"We've only just arrived, and my clansmen are doing a fantastic job of seeing that no combat makes its way to me... no matter the cost." The corners of Senshi's eyes tightened into a sarcastic frown as he spoke. "But thats hardly my fault, Haruka san has done a fantastic job of making sure the Yobanjin don't get close to me on her own."
He then added in a hushed voice, "How goes the fight in the roads?"

For the moment Haruka remained silent and her face otherwise unphased by the conversation as she seemed to look distantly so as not to react to the conversation happening right next to her.
Or it is very likely she would be rather responsive to the words being said. Whether it was for the fact that they were both clan champions or he her future husband she seemed hushed for the moment as she quietly took up a cloth and started to clean her armor slightly.
This seemed to be in itself meditative as she considered the lives she'd had to take, or perhaps how she'd make Senshi later quietly pay for his words. One could not say by the neutral motions she took to keep her pride in check.

Location: Behind enemy lines, Northern Steppes approach from Mountain Watch Keep.
Setsuro and his unit of Crab Berserkers had started off on the opposite side of the battle. He had come from the Northern Steppes, having made camp somewhere near it but out of the way of the battle. When they broke camp, Setsuro swept into the side of the advancing army like a terrible tsunami of steel and conviction. As they plowed through the Yobanjin, several berserkers met their ends gloriously in battle. Setsuro himself caught an arrow in the side, which he promptly ripped out and jabbed an enemy soldier through the throat with it.
When finally far enough to cause confusion and demoralization, Setsuro and his unit charged towards the Rokugani camp, hoping to make it there before the rest of his unit fell. Another soldier rushed in and swept a spear at the Crab Champion, but was quickly met with the smashing force of a Dai Tsuchi wielded by one of the guardsmen. From another side, off to the left where the main Crab camp had been, the rest of the present Crab army charged in. With them came the Ancestral Hida banner, something that always went with the Champion.
Climbing towards the final rise, the first thing any of the Rokugan army would have seen would have been the banner itself, two men carrying it next to Setsuro. When one would fall, another would gladly take up the place. From the middle of it, the Crab Champion shouted.
"THERE IS NO HONOR IN DEFEAT! THERE IS NO HONOR IN COMPROMISE! THERE IS ONLY HONOR IN VICTORY!" Setsuro shouted at the top of his lungs, being so loudly that certainly even the gathered armies could have heard the samurai. The final push was the front line of the Yobanjin army. This would prove to be more difficult, however, as his shout had alerted them and most of them had turned to deal with the oncoming threat. The Berserkers charged forward into the lines and Setsuro charged with them.

It was the very distraction that the Unicorn cavalry had been waiting for. Lying in wait and patrolling the plains for any stray groups to take out before they even got close to the defenses, they started to run through the ranks as if they were a mess, the flanking causing a great decrease in losses for both Crab and Unicorn.
A Unicorn's lance stopped only a moment before nearly striking Setsuro. As he stood in the midst of the battle, his sheer size stirred the horse into rearing, throwing his unaware rider to the ground. He recovered quickly however standing and helping the Crab and cavalry pierce their way through the front lines.
"Great Setsuro-dono! We had no idea you could actually get behind the Yobanjin!" Taking the spear and awkwardly trying to use it instead of drawing a sword for now. It was somewhat unwise as though a lance might be highly idea for mounted combat it was far too clumsy of a weapon to be used on foot against the Yobanjin infantry. This would ultimately be his downfall as the Unicorn got easily overpowered by a stray blade and fell.
The fighting had hardly gone unnoticed as the slight crush of the Yobanjin army seemed to have a certain dividing slice through it that was filling quickly. This was easily spotted by most of the forces, but they couldn't discern what would be the cause of such a rift in the ranks. However it seemed to dawn on the battle maiden fairly quickly after she splashed a bit of water on her face.
Never a moment's rest, but I would have it no other way.
Haruka growled having spot this from afar, she slammed on her helmet and started running giving a sharp piercing whistle from her lips. A fully laden grey battle mare came galloping over to her, and effortlessly Haruka took her arm around the front of the running beast and used the momentum to swing up on the mare's back.
Unfastening her lance that was tied to the saddle she held it over her head drawing the attention of another waiting cavalry that was waiting for their shift. Immediately they came to ride with her as they headed from the keep. All Senshi and Tomtasu would hear while she rode off was, "There is something happening to the Yobanjin, our cavalry has moved to intercept, something more is afoot in their ranks! To me my brothers and sisters!" It was clear from her sheer speed she had anticipated a swift need for an attack as no defender could possibly stop her now.
Her voice seemed to instill the confidence as each of the cavalry rode nearly in sync. She'd trained with many of these men as they stayed in formation and met up quickly with the confrontation. The Crab still heavily fighting alongside the stuck in cavalry group. But they'd luckily fought their way to the front at last, able to look out at the incoming cavalry from the keep. Haruka to lead them as a second sweep would free them a few moments of breath.
It was now that Haruka saw Setsuro and rushed to him. "Take my hand Setsuro-sama!" Her hand outstretched to the Crab champion. "Victory is ours but we must get you to safety."
All truth be told in the flash normally no horse might try and take on two riders, but this particularly amazing beast would be even able to take on Setsuro of all men as the cavalry began regrouping and starting to return back to the keep with Crab at their sides or taking up horses from any fallen riders.
But Haruka's eyes flashed as with one hand outstretched, the other clasping onto a now bloodied lance, she caught a glimpse of another Yobanjin captain. His attention fixed on them as he started to run right at them both with a shout. Haruka seemed to twirl the lance into the right direction as it slammed into the neck of the foolish captain.
Take my hand, let us retreat for now, this is not where we die Setsuro-sama. Your armor is badly broken, your unit is splintered. Do not hesitate now.
After felling the captain her eyes fell on the Crab Champion again.

Tomatsu watched Haruka ride off, not trying to stop her, in a war we must all give everything for a chance of victory. He turned to face his old friend, and took off his kabuto, revealing his dirty and blood stained hair, pulled back in his traditional style. Well Senshi-san, what do you wish to do, my forces are in capable hands and can spare me for a while, unless you wish to return to my camp, and see the situation for yourself. If we do, I must warn you, you'll need to bring some armor and a sword, while we control the battlefield during the day, the Yobanjin have persisted in making concentrated night attacks with a bulk of their forces, and there have been some tense moments.
He turned around as he heard the Unicorn commander exit his building. He just locked his eyes on him, staring daggers at him. The Commander realized Tomatsu was staring at him, and quickly looked away, trying to become busy. Tomatsu looked back at Senshi, and began pulling at places in his armor, trying to get some air under it.
