Chapter 1
Prologue
As the cult named "Koru Demon" or the "Black Demons" --A band of cultists who capture the very essence as tribute for their dark leaders-- was trying to create a ritual to bring the"Chi The Hornless Dragon" and "Guretoyohane no mokushiroku" or "Great Revelation" to this Earth. The only warriors able to stop such a thing were "Yon Samurai-Shoku" or "Four Colored Samurai", four fighters who have mastered one style each and can use them with deadly accuracy. After the Samurai had imprisoned the cult in "Eberesutomaunto" --or to the westerners "Mount Everest"-- they were no longer needed and disbanded. Then when the tension between the clans began they were recruited as Generals...
Now in feudal Japan as the clans fight in their bloody wars, They didn't realize what brewed beneath the Earth. Now the "Black Demons" have come back from their dark prison and are now trying to recreate the ritual that they once were going to use. And the Colored Samurai are in said war...

Yelled a soldier of the Shinku-Shoku clan running frantically to dodge falling boulders and rocks, all the while the Crimson Samurai is walking and slowly spinning his Kunai, "We need to get out of the canyon and the only other route is guarded by a third clan..." Said Crimson Samurai thoughtfully. "Get our spare powder kegs and find a weak spot" He demanded.
The rumbling came from the cave as if Daimajin were escaping his great prison, but the archers of the Hisui clan knew better. They knew it was the Konpeki clan firing their bombs at the canyon. Now they wondered if the Konpeki would win and come through the cave to find their outpost, they prayed that the Shinku-Shoku Clan and the Konpeki clan would just bury each other in the rubble ... But that was just wishful thinking. "Be ready!" Yelled the Jade Samurai. Aiming his Crossbow at the rumbling cracks that just formed...
