Sima Yi's Lullaby
Sima Yi's Lullaby
A dark stormy day. Black clouds blocked out the sun, thunder and lightning showing their power. The earth was muddy and trodden atop the cliff. Standing atop it...stood a figure, human...in appearance. It was male, as it looked out over the land. "One day...this land...shall be mine." he raised a clawed gauntleted fist. "The world shall bow before the intellect of Sima Yi!"
A cackle rang from his throat, as bolts of lightning struck around him. "But first...I'll need an army..." he lightly scratched his chin, "Ahh...I know...perhaps this Orochi I've heard of will be of use." he smirked and began walking.
************
"So...you wish to serve me? Why should I accept you into my service?" spoke the Serpent demon.
Sima Yi smiled, "Because...who among your meat headed warriors can match my scheming mind?"
Orochi smirked, "Exactly...why should I accept into service someone so cunning and scheming?"
Sima Yi bowed, "Because...are you not more scheming?"
At that Orochi rose, "Ahh...good answer." he chuckled, "You're right...so I shall have you join our forces."
Sima Yi bowed again, "Thank you...Lord Orochi." Sima Yi smiled, and left the chamber, smiling. When he left the chamber, he smiled, "And so my first step to conquest...is done...I'll gather some followers in that fool's army...then...I will rise to greatness...from his corpse." Sima Yi headed to his quarters, smiling evily.
************
Sima Yi was overlooking the remains of the village that Sarak was supposed to watch over. It was nothing but ash...thanks in large part to Sarak's proven incompetence. But he couldn't deny that the gang that they had been facing wasn't without skill. However, they might prove usefull in dispencing of Orochi's loyal followers...like Dasi.
He chuckled, "Yeah...they will be useful." Several of his men smiled, nodding. "Come then...we've got work to do for that snake." They nodded, bowing as they followed him toward their goal.
It took a few days of marching, but eventually they got where they wanted...Mount Kyoko. "Alright men...that serpent fool Orochi wants a castle built here. To do that...we need to get rid of the locals." the soldiers chuckled, "That's right...slaughter them all!" Sima Yi's men rushed forward, catching the pokemon about the area off gaurd, and began cutting them down one by one.
Sima Yi was also in the battle, hacking apart dozens of opponents. A rhydon he ensared in his chained claws, and began spinning it around, slashing at it while he spun it faster, before flinging it away, a spinning corpse. He then turned his attention to a lopunny who was moving to attack him. Without trying, he launched his claws, and impaled the bunny. He gently moved his hands up and down, getting the lopunny to do the same, before he yanked his hands up then down, slamming the dead lopunny into the earth. He cackled as he watched the last few twitches of life.
Then he heard a cry followed by the sounds of a charge. A breloom was rushing him, no doubt the lopunny's mate. Sima Yi smirked, before his claws wrapped around trees then yanked, causing them to splinter and fall, crushing the breloom. He chuckled, "Fool...you should have fled while I killed her." he laughed, heading deeper into the cherry blossom trees...which had been set ablaze. "Oh well...a fool will always do foolish things."
************
Sima Yi smiled, "Hurry up! Orochi wants this castle standing tall asap! That means by the end of the week!" The builders, who weren't loyal to Sima Yi, glared at him, but kept quiet. Sima Yi had already shown his disregard for their lives.
Sima Yi then got an unpleasant sound in his ears, "Well well well...not bad Sima Yi."
He turned, "Dasi."
She smirked, "Our Lord Orochi is pleased with your work."
Sima Yi glared, "Well...I live to serve our mighty lord."
Dasi smirked, "Well...I'll take over...you and your men are to head off and capture a mine for Lord Orochi, it's suppose to be a mine of a metal that the lord wants."
Sima Yi nodded, "Very well...MEN! MOVE OUT!" the soldiers and pokemon nodded, following their leader.
************
Several days had passed since Sima Yi had taken the mine, and he and his soldiers were heading back to Koshi castle, at Lord Orochi's orders of course. It seemed like the friends of Orochi's prized warrior were coming, and the Demon Snake wanted all of his men assembled to crush them.
But when Sima Yi got there...it was the dawn of the battle, both sides had assembled, and Sima Yi was surprised to see that the enemy had gotten quite large. "Hmm..." he grabbed a telescope and looked around, noticing the absol he had heard about was on the keep...with Inferno. "Well well well...I do believe going to Orochi's aid will prove most disasterous." he chuckled, "I had planned to kill the snake any way...this just means I won't lose any men." He smiled, "Grab a seat...and enjoy the show." His men smiled, doing as he said.
*************
Orochi was dead, just as Sima Yi anticipated. But it had been a great show. Since then, he had gathered up the remains of Orochi's men, well...most of them. He hadn't found Death, and figured the altered mightyena was deadd. Now he was planning his next move. "We need to deal with that group." His men nodded, "But we'll need to find them first." he smiled, and snapped his fingers, "Come bird!" A pidgeot knelt down, and let him get on it's back. "Fly!" The bird obeyed.
Several minutes later, Sima Yi stood atop the bird, glaring at his sight. "So...they're coming." he snickered, "How wonderful...I'll be able to slaughter them all." he looked closer and his smirked disappeared, "Death? Hmm...he must have a plan of some sort..." he cackled, "I suppose I'll cut his plan short and let him strike faster." He chuckled, "Come you filthy rat with wings...we're going back!" The bird seemed to hesitate, and for that it got a strike from a chained claw. "I SAID FLY BACK YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT!!!" the bird quickly obeyed.
When Sima Yi got back he took a few of his best, since large numbers had proven useless. He figured going for quality not quanity would win this day.
*************
And he was right. "DAMN THEM!" With what few troops he had left from that attack, he joined up with the rest of his men. He sighed, "Curses...I thought Death would join us...damn him!" he took some deep breaths, "Alright...no need to worry...I just need to gather more men to my side..." he smiled, "It should be easy enough." He cackled, "After all, there is a way for me to get more...dark and heartless men to my side." he chuckled, raising his hand to the now night sky.
"I will not be denied! This whole world will sing praise of my name! I will rule! I shall be emporer of this land!" he clenched his fist, "One day...my flag will fly! That...is my lullaby!" he laughed, as did his men, cheering on their leader, as they headed for their next goal.
