Winter 183AD (One year before Zhou Yu's choice to leave Wu)

15 year old Sun Ce had always been reckless. his choices Rash, and the results deadly. But this time it appeared that Ce had done the impossible, he had litterally gotten into a situation that he may never be able to get out of.

Hours before Ce and his Body Guard Dong Xi were making their way to Chai Sang to pick up a package for his father Sun Jian. Jian was going to do it himself, but Ce insisted that he get to do something "Dangerous so i can prove myself!"

Jian knew that this job was simple, but played it up to be something far greater than Ce had ever imagined. Thusly the 15 year old rode down the way with Dong Xi not far behind him.

DX: Master Ce please slow down, you are going to harm yourself badly if you do not ease up and take your time

"Xi i am fine! Dad wouldnt have sent someone he was sure was capable of taking care of such a daring mission! it is my job to pick up his package and return it home, no matter what happens i will do this!"

Xi sighed and decided it would be better not to argue with him, clearly Ce was certain that his way of handeling the situation was appropriate.
He bolted down the dirt path, almost knocking over pedestrians as the dust began to fly.
Finally at wits end Xi rode up past Ce and forcivly stopped him
DX: Master Ce i wust insist you be carefull, there are other people here.

By this point the two had entered a large city of CHai Sang. Crowds of people surrounded both of them. This is where Ce got his genius Idea.
Jumping off his horse and running into the crowd Ce disappeared. In the time it took Xi to realize that Ce's horse was empty, he was long gone, and Xi began his search for Ce.

Ce in the meantime went to the location in which the package was being held and wegan to walk back
" Ha, Xi will be looking for me for hours, foolish man, i dont need a bodyguard, this is not even a dangerous city, its...."
Now on the outskirts of town, with no one around, multiple soldiers began to appear from the tree's. Out of No where Sun Ce was surrounded by Huang Zu's troops.

Huang Zu had been trying to kill off the Sun Family since the moment Sun Jian Became a prefect in Wu. He had easily over 50 foot soldiers. some sword some spear, even a few archers. Meanwhile one of Huang Zu's generals sat on horseback looking down at the Young Lord Whom had already Drawn his Tonfa's.

Su Fei Was in charge of traping and bringing back the head of Sun Ce, son of the mighty tiger of Jiang dong.

SF: Ah, my young lord, isnt it a wee bit past your bed time.

Two swordsment walked forward with ropes, Ce immediatly lunged a right hook to the man on the left, Once he made contact with the mans face his tonfa Swung down and struck the soldiers Diaphram crippling him downward. Ce then made a roundhouse kick to the side hitting the other soldier Square in the face and causing him to parry backwards, as his chest was open, Ce began to rapidly pound his fists into the Mans chest until finally without any breath the man fell backwards.

By the time Ce had time to completly pacify these two soldiers, more had come in their place.
Kneeing one man in the stomach while using his Tonfa's in a clockwise motion he is able to back himself into a tree while taking out another 3 men, whom are now bleeding on the ground. His Tonfa's however did him no good when a rope was suddenly dropped from a tree and tied around Ce, it happened so fast that Ce Himself wasnt sure what was going on.

Having taken down at least 7 of their soldiers Fei was clearly unhappy and even got down off of his horse to walk over to the young lord.
SF: So Ce, you seem to be a pretty good fighter, not so much when tied up
He said with a smile as he got close to ce, enough so that their Noses would almost touch
SF: Any final words Sun Ce, son of Sun Jian

Ce's next move should have cost him his life. He spat in Su Fei's face. Not on the cheek or forhead, but right in the mans mouth.
Fei stumbled back spitting on the ground while yelling
"Thats it, kill him! Kill him damnit!"

[Zhou Yu]

(( Befour Ce Arrived on Chai Sang Past Time))

Yu had been serving Sun Jian now for going on two years, over this time he had made many friends and enemies but one person gave him the Strength to keep going that was Sun Ce his sworn brother there bond never faulted not even once, even when they found their loyalty tested they would always come out stronger then before and Sun Jian was like a second father to Yu, even if he never told anyone that in fear of being weak.

Yu had a free moment so he decided to go and visit his brother to try and teach him to play the flute, if Ce could become as good at playing the flute as he is with fighting and getting into trouble, they could both put on a grand show that would be spoken about for years to come. However, little did he know his brother had already left on a mission for his father seemed the work never stops for the heir to Wu Empire.

He then arrived at the home of his brother Ce, only to see that his horse was gone and so was his bodyguard, which could only mean he has gone out to course more trouble like the trouble maker he is how his father can let it slip is past his power of thought. Just then, the servant comes out and bows to lord Yu before addressing him saying. “Lord Zhou Yu, beg my rudeness but Lord Sun Ce is away he was heading to Chai Sang on orders from his father.” With that, Yu smiles and nods before riding towards Chai Sang hoping to catch up with his brother.

(( Present Time))

He reached the gates of Chai Sang and began to trot with his horse along the main street he had brought some guards with him encase he needed them , by this time it was packed and it would mean he would have to ditch the horse and walk the rest of the way. After a few moments of walking, Zhou and his guards bump into Dong Xi, who was his brother’s bodyguard, why would he be here and Ce was not.

“Dong Xi, I believe you have a good reason for being here alone and without Sun Ce” With that, Xi just gives him a puzzled look and speaks saying. “ I lost him in the crowd he ran away and i have not been able to locate him, im sorry Lord Zhou Yu”.

“How could you lose Lord Sun Ce he is heir to this kingdom and he’s just a child, I will deal with you later for this, now go back to the castle and summon the royal guard and secure this city no one in no one out, is that understood. Xi nodded and ran off to summon the guard well Yu and his men began to search the city.

Yu saw Ce spit in what looked liked the leader of the bandits face and that seemed to annoy him to no end. With that he Lines his bow up and fires a single shot towards the lone solider who was about to strike Ce. The guard drops the ground and Yu speaks saying. “Men protect Sun Ce and untie him how dare you try to kill my brother you shall find no peace in heaven for this.

(( Hope this is ok its my first real Quest post sorry if spelling and Punction is a little bit crap))

[Sun Ce]

(No problem, try not to Bunny my NPC, he would be reluctant to leave to grab the royal guard )(Im not gonna post as long now that the Intro is done.)

The few guards that were with Yu untied Ce, however resistance from the massive army of now well over 100 men forced them deeper into the forest. More than likely these men would not be seen again.
Ce, who was now free to move and fight made a roundhouse kick knocking down a man, and causing another to trip over the body, using his Tonfa's Ce began to knock back several fighters with eas. These men were clearly not the most elite of troops, however as the numbers got large Ce found it harder to Manuever or even swing his tonfa without hitting another soldier.
Ducking underneath the mass of troops Ce then found himself next to His Brother Yu.
"Well if it isnt Zhou Yu saving my ass again, dont you have anything better to do?"
He said sarcastically as the soldiers began to circle the two of them.
"So Yu, still have any fight left in you?"
He asked with a laugh, it had been a while since ce had actually seen Yu fight, or for that matter even pick up a weapon. He was a genius, that was true enough, but Ce wasnt sure if Yu was capable on the battlefield as anything more than the brains. Ce himself was pretty smart, but nothing even close to Yu who could very possibly be the smartest man who had ever lived.
Ce of course admired him for that, looked up to him as a father, or role model. being that Yu was well over 18 Ce always tried to mimic him at a younger age, now that he was considerably older he found it difficult to do as Yu did. Yu was calm and collective, and never seemed moved emotionally unless it involved Ce.

For that there was a bond between them. Ce would have died for Yu and the same can be said the other way around. No doubt that together they could not be beat. Should his father ever perish, Ce would take over and immediatly promote Yu to a position of far grander power than that of a minor advisor.

[Zhou Yu]

Ce, the heir of Wu empire had got himself into quite a sticky position that could of cost him his life, but as long as Yu lived and breathed no one would lay a finger on him, if they did they would find them self them in shackles before the day was out Yu smiled to Ce as he drew his sword and took slash at two of the troops as the two are running and slicing down there middle, Yu didn’t like to fight with his sword, but his brother’s life was at risk so that alone was the push he needed.

“Brother, this always seems to happen what would you do without me, and I know I don’t use my sword often but you must live, you have a bright further and will go on to do great things with your life. In addition, who else would leave a war meeting to come save you the men I have with me are my own. “Men listen up hold them here for as long as you can but don’t throw your lives away if you have a chance to run taking it.

He then carries on running deep into the woods alongside his brother they would have to stand and fight sometime soon, but Yu would try to even out the odds anyway he could so that his brother could live on, “Brother your life is far more important than mine, so make me a promise if I fall on this day run and never look back.

The odds were stacked in the favour of the Pursuers but Zhou Yu and Sun Ce where Wu and It would only take time for the fangs of Wu to show them self, if they survive this, it will be great story to tell their grand children. The Legend of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. “Ce I will always be by your side, even if im not.

((( Ok sorry about that then))

[Sun Ce]

Suddenly stopping Ce turns around
"Then lets not run, lets show Huang Zu that he cannot Screw with the sun family!"

As the soldiers run out, one at a time Ce begins to knock them over using his twin Tonfa's. Another roundhouse knocks one soldier into another.
Running up the side of a tree high enough to grab onto a branch and swing into one of the other soldiers Holding a long Pike. As the soldier falls Ce grabs the pike and swings it in a circular motion seeming to mow down the oposition coming towards him. Certainly these men were weakened by Yu's force, however Ce felt confident that he was doing this with not aid what so ever.
"Not let me steal your shine Yu, come on over!"

Running forward and jabbing the pike into the ground Ce pole Vaults over a tree branch and lands dircetly ontop of one of Su Fei's leading guards. He quickkly Pummels the ground spreading the mans blood around the grass and dirt. The guards around him, thuroughly intimidated begin to back up, with the Execption of Su Fei, whom now stands next to Ce, his sword drawn.
SF: Come prince of Wu, show me all you have!

Su Fei lunges forward into Ce, who quickly drops to the ground to avoid the hit, this causes Fei to trip over Ce and fall to the ground, Ce then rolls over and slams his Tonfa into Fei's arm.
Fei lets out a cringing scream as he quickly retaliates with his own sword Shoving it into Ce's Leg. Sun Ce was known for his speed and agility, but this wound could be detrimental to his fighting style, and could possibly be the cause of his death in the future.
Ce, Gritting his teeth, stands up at the same time as Fei and begins throwing punches, the are easily blocked and countered.

Suddenly another guard grabs Ce from Behind holding him in place
SF: Now i will finish this myself!
Su Fei raises his sword preparing to Behead the Prince of Wu, Sun Ce

[Zhou Yu]

Zhou carried on running not knowing that his brother had used a tree in order to get the advance over the pursers, but if he keeps pulling those kind of moves one day he may end up on the tip of spear, and god forbid if that happened Jian would have a fit so no matter what happened Yu would have to save him even if it ment his own life would be put in danger, Ce was the further of Wu and if he died on this day the heavens would weep for his loss.

After turning around to see that Ce had somehow got himself caught again, Yu was out of range and so couldn’t use his sword and using his bow would take to long so he looked around for something he could throw at the officer that was about to behead his brother, he then picks up a small rock knowing this won’t do much, it may give Ce a few moments to make his move, with that Yu turns around and throws the rock towards Fei hoping it would miss Ce and knock Fei of balance and give Ce the chance he needs to break free. “Brother you know what to-do lets hope the rock hits the target.

[Sun Ce]

The rock flies forward, The guard holding Ce turns his head and looks onward at the rock flying forward. While the guard did so Ce let out a small smirk and elbowed the guard, throwing him infront of Fei's sword, causing Fei to slice his own soldier
"Come on Su Fei, is that really all Huang Zu has for us?"
He said throwing his tonfa's forward hitting the currently off guard fei in the face, He falls backwards grabbing his nose which is now bleeding.
SF: Damn you!

Guards continue to come from the bushes and tree's now the only thing Ce could do was get into the combat, throwing a punch or a kick, Throwing one man into another, even headbutting a few.
"Come on Yu, take a few heads!"

[Sun Ce]

(Since its been about a week ima just wrap this up for us so i can get on to another quest, and then Yu wont have to worry about posting here)


The fight began to push forward through the forest, Yu and Ce fighting side by side. Eventually out of the forest came a large river, it led straight from Chai Sang into Jian Ye, and Ce immediatly knew what he needed to do, He began running down the direction of the flowing water, Dozens of men chasing after him. Ce finally reached where the river turned into a large waterfall, easily a 100ft drop.
Ce looked down at the water, any other 16 year old would have cringed at the thought, but ce only smirked and looked at Yu, knowing exactly what needed to be done.
Turning back to the onslaught of soldiers who were now slowly coming out of the brush, as each man came out Ce would hit him hard and throw him over the cliff

The plan was that by running through the forest, only one or two men could actually follow him at a time, thusly while nearly 3 dozen men were chasing him, only one or two could fight him at a time.

This worked for the first 12 who were caught completly off guard and thrown over the cliff, however Ce did not expect the arrow that flew into his shoulder, not only piercing his armor, but going through his armor.

Ce screamed out and fell to his knees as Su Fei stepped out of a nearby bush holding a bow and laughing, it was clear that the only person capable of hitting the agile beast was Su Fei.
SF: Sun Ce you Bastard demon of Jiang Dong, i shall end your life here and now, for the dozens of men whose lives were taken during this bout.

Ce wasnt sure where Yu was due to the massive number of soldiers who were pouring onto the cliff, it seemed that now Ce really was on his own.
Su Fei unsheathed his sword and held it up
"It is only a pity that Master Huang Zu cannot kill you himself"

Ce immediatly knew what he had to do. Using his good arm he was able to sweep kick Fei who again had underestimated the young Sun's might in hand to hand combat. He then jumped to his feet, knowing damn well that Fei would get up and kill him, Ce ducked and rolled through the army of soldiers surrounding him until he was at the waterfalls edge. Several Archers had him pinned, and even more guards surrounded him, including Su Fei who at this point just laughed
SF: Where to now baby tiger? you have no where left to run
Ce looked over the cliffs edge and let out a sigh
"Let the heavens do as is ment to be done"
He then turned and Dove off of the cliff and into the water over 100 feet below. The soldiers there both gasped and stared in aw as the mist from the waterfall concealed the landing making it impossible to tell if Ce had made it.

Su Fei scoffed at Ce's jump and yelled out to his men
SF: There is no way that he was capable of surviving such a massive leap, let us report back to master Huang Zu and tell him of our success.

Fei's men, who were weary and somewhat lucky they had not faced Ce face to face left with Fei, knowing that even if they had killed Ce, he had taken at least 50 lives, and collectivly with Zhou Yu had caused over 100 Injuries that would prove either permanent or fatal. No matter what Fei called it, this was not a victory, but a humiliation.

Meanwhile over 10 miles down the river heading towards Jian Ye Sun Ce's body was pulled out of the water by non other than Dong Xi, who had gathered the Royal guard, and with a tip from Zhou Yu found Ce and returned him to his father.

This day would never be forgotten by any of the warriors of Wu, Ce was always forced to travel with the royal guard, and Zhou Yu was officially promoted with Honors. Never again would Ce kill that many warriors collectivly, and even with his cocky attitude he would not speak of this ambush, he knew it was an act of heaven that he survive and fight for the Red Dragon that was the Sun family, and the Sun Dynasty to be.
