Prolog to Inferna
After the defeat of Talpa, with Ryo using the Armor of Inferno, the Soul Swords of Fervor, and the Jewel of Life, the Ronins were prepared for the rest of their life to be peaceful and not have to fight the forces of darkness again or at least not until a few more years. They did relax and were able to focus their attention upon finishing their schooling. But that was interrupted by the call of the armor once again. They meet Yost and Mr. Ross, armor bearers the same as them but they did not make it to the final fight with Talpa.
They soon saw however, that the dream of peace was not going to be realized. They finished their sophomore year in uneventful peace. But as summer drew near Talpa showed up once again, he was much weaker than before, but he came with strong demon generals by his side that did his bidding with ease. The demons of the Neather Realm once again ravaged the land and the Ronins were called up to arms.
Yost seeing that they would not be able to defeat Talpa in any normal way, sacrificed his life in the hope that he would destroy him completely. They defeated Talpa for the third time and hoped that this time they would not have to suffer to fight once again. As Yost's sacrifice and the pain heavily crushed on them they prayed that they would never have to commit such a sacrifice again.
The Ronin Warriors cautiously went back to school with a heavy grief of the lost of their friend and an eye behind their back for their junior year.
They meet the sisters and after only a week they knew that they were Ronin Warriors. All Four possessed female opposite armors of the Ronins and found that they had the same attributes and likes as they had. The Ronins were wary on how this could be but eventually accepted their presence and also eventually fell in love with them.
All Nine of the Original Ronins were puzzled at the appearance of more and more armors every year and they wondered on how many pairs of armors there actually were in the world. But before they could do some serious thinking on the matter Saranbo showed his face again. Saranbo captured the sisters and fled to San-Diego claming that the key must be found to defeat the Ronins and with the key he would be unstoppable.
They defeated him on the beaches of the Pacific Ocean, and were able to rush back to Japan to start their senior year. Unfortunately Saranbo left them all with only one day to prepare for the new school year and a wondering about the key that he had mentioned. Kayura however is sensing a new source of evil more powerful than any they had encountered so far and is looking for those that may help the Ronins and the Sisters in their fight for the world once again.
