In our last exciting episode, the Ronin Warriors attended a concert with the girls, and both Vegeta and Trunks were humiliated by the mysterious warrior known as Kenshin. Not to mention the Ronin's crystals were switched. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Ronin Warriors vs Dragonball Z: Just Wild Beating.
"Just Wild Beating is the title of this episode? What were the producers thinking?" Anubis shouted.
"Calm down Anubis. I'm sure the writers have a good explanation behind it." Kale said.
"Maybe it's foreshadowing." Sekhmet suggested.
"Or the writers were out drinking last night and they haven't sobered up yet." Dais added.
"Regardless of the writer's intentions or nocturnal habits, we still have other problems to attend to." Anubis said.
"Right." the others said.
"First, the Ronins are still with the Girls. Furthermore, they switched their crystals in the last episode, so I am sure that they are in cahoots with the Dragonball Z group. Second, the DBZ guys have attacked us three times, and almost every time some anime character has had to bail us out." Anubis explained.
"You're right. Everywhere we go, they find us, probably due to the girls, kick our butts, and we receive further humiliation." Dais added.
"And finally, we must hire a new announcer after what he did to us last episode." Anubis finished.
"I can only suggest that we do one thing. We hunt down those accursed Dragonball guys, and kick their butts!" Kale suggested.
"It would be very easy. We'd only have to worry about the non-Saiyans and Goku." Sekhmet said.
"True, but you're also forgetting that only Kale has a weapon and we can't do our sure-kills because ours are broken?" Dais reminded him.
"I doubt our armor could take another direct hit from Goku. We better bring the Forgotten Souls." Anubis suggested.
"And the Ronins. We'll need their help for this." Sekhmet said.
"But how can we convince them to come?" Kale asked.
"First we've got to get them out of the girls' apartment." Anubis said.
Inside the apartment...
"Um Sakura, as much as we'd like to live here with you, we really should get back to our friend Mia's mansion. Besides, I'm sure you five have been aching to do, you know, girl stuff." Ryo said.
"That's okay Ryo. Just come back again tomorrow, okay?" Sakura said.
"Sure." Ryo said.
With that the five Ronins marched out of the house and went back to Mia's.
"Finally! They left! Now we can convince them to help us." Anubis said.
Back at Mia's...
"No! We're not going to help you go kill the Dragonball guys! Every time we go up against them we get our butts kicked!" Ryo protested.
"I definitely don't want Suiren to see me injured." Sage added.
"Then we have to make up all kinds of excuses on where our injuries came from..." Sai said.
"If you don't come with us, we'll make Rowen cook dinner!" Kale shouted.
"Kale, we want to threaten them, not kill them!" Sekhmet said.
"We'll make you go back to school!" Dais shouted.
"Um that's been done." Anubis said.
The Warlords huddled.
"How are we going to get those love struck teenagers to help us? We'll never take them down without the White Neo Armors." Anubis said.
"Leave it to me." Dais said.
He turned to the heroes.
"Ronins, let us put it this way. If you defeat the Dragonball Warriors now, then that means you will have more time to spend with the girls later."
"Well, if you put it that way... Fine, we'll come." Ryo said.
"Now how are we going to get out of tomorrow? Sage asked.
"Leave that to me guys." Kento said.
A few minutes later he called the girl's apartment.
"Hello?" Ayame said on the other end.
"Hi Ayame, it's Kento. Is Yuri there?" he asked.
"No, she and the others are taking naps." Ayame explained. "I was about to join them just before you called."
The Ronins were listening in on the other phones.
"This is what they do when we're not around? It's a good thing we found them." Sage said.
"Girl stuff, Ryo?" Rowen asked.
"Shh!" Sai said.
"Hi guys." Ayame said.
"Hi." They said.
"Are you sure that they're all asleep?" Ryo asked.
Ayame placed the receiver near a dormant Sakura and heard her snoring.
"Yep, that's Sakura all right." Ryo said.
"Why did you call?" Ayame asked.
"Well you see, Mia had the flu and we caught it." Kento said, talking as if he had a stuffy nose.
"So soon?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah, this strain's very contagious. We caught it almost the minute we walked in the door." Kento explained. The other Ronins coughed loudly.
"You guys sound horrible." Ayame said.
"Yeah. Rowen's been puking since we got in."
Rowen banged his feet on the ground, slammed a door and pretended to throw up."
"Is he going to be okay?" Ayame asked.
"He'll be fine in a few days. But I'm afraid we won't be able to come over tomorrow."
"Oh. Well, I hope you feel better guys."
Kento hung up on his end.
"Kento, that was great! We did it!" Ryo said.
"Let's go for it."
On the other end, Ayame slammed the phone down, waking up everyone else.
"Why'd ya do that..." Sakura said sleepily.
"The nerve of those guys! New strain of flu my foot!" Ayame said.
"Yeah, and I taught Kento that trick!" Suiren said.
"Flirt." Ran whispered.
"I am not a flirt!" she shouted.
"Enough. Ryo and the others have some good reason why they canceled on us, and my guess is they're going to fight the Dragonball guys." Yuri said.
"We may want to follow them." Ran said.
Back at the mansion...
"Armor of White Neo Wildfire! Tao Jin Jin!"
"Armor of White Neo Hardrock! Tao Gi Gi!"
"Armor of White Neo Strata! Tao Inochi Inochi!"
"Armor of White Neo Halo! Tao Chi Chi!"
"Armor of White Neo Torrent! Tao Shin Shin!"
"Armor of Cruelty, Tao Chu!"
"Armor of Corruption! Tao Ko!"
"Armor of Venom! Tao Tei!"
"Armor of Illusion! Tao Nin!"
Kayura appeared, and teleported them to the Dragonball Warriors domain.
"Okay Goku, show yourself!" Ryo demanded.
"Well well well. It's good to see you foolish Warlords actually wearing your armor after what Trunks did to your weapons." Goku said.
"Try as you might, but we still have a few tricks up our sleeves." Dais said.
"Enough talk! Let's get it on." Anubis said.
(Cruel Angel's Thesis kicks up)
"All right! Kento, you take Tien! Sage, you and Kale take that fool Chiaotzu! Sai, you take Krillin. The other Warlords and I will handle Yamcha." Ryo shouted.
"Forgotten Souls, Let's bash that Saiyan!" Hariel shouted.
Blackblaze leaped in, roaring. Hariel grabbed the Soul Swords from the sheaths on his back.
"Let's cook. Rage of the Inferno!" Hariel shouted.
The searing flames nailed Goku.
"My turn." Saber Strike said.
He went airborne.
"Winged Angel of Death!" he shouted, nailing Goku.
"Wave of Destruction!" Saranbo added.
Gash and the Sand Strikers charged, nailing him with their swords.
Meanwhile Ryo and the Warlords were fighting off Yamcha, who was a better martial artist then they had originally anticipated. Anubis grabbed him and flipped him over his shoulders. Sekhmet evened the odds by multiplying his arms, punching him six times.
Yamcha powered up his Spirit ball and nailed all of them.
"That does it. Flare Up...Now!" Ryo shouted.
Yamcha was knocked for a loop.
(Mask from Bakaretsu Hunters Kicks in.)
Meanwhile, Krillin was running away from Sai who was trying to slam him again. He fired a few energy bolts back at Sai, but he knocked them away with his man-catcher.
"That does it. Super Wave Smasher!" Sai shouted.
Tien had cloned himself and was preparing to wipe out Kento.
"Time for a little help." Kento said.
His kanji of Justice appeared on his forehead.
With his super strength he punched out the Tiens and then readied his staff.
"Iron Rock Crusher!" Kento shouted, blasting Tien into oblivion.
"That takes care of him."
The attacks faded out, leaving all but Goku dead.
"Fine. You proved your point." Goku said.
Ryo sheathed his swords and held him up by his throat.
"I suggest you leave us alone, or we'll do worse." Ryo said.
"You should have left when we had the chance. Now!"
Suddenly the Ronins, Warlords, and Forgotten Souls were knocked backward by the force of an incredible blast!
"Somebody get me the number of that truck." Ryo said as they landed.
"Oh, did we hurt you?" Trunks said.
The Ronin's Armor was off, and the Warlords' were completely destroyed. Their crystals lay before them in pieces. They tried in vain to call upon their armor, but they could not.
"How did you get...so strong?" Anubis asked weakly.
"Simple. We chowed down on some Yama Fruit just before we got here." Vegeta said.
"What about your little friends?" Sage asked.
"We can always bring them back with the Namek Dragonballs, but we can finish you off ourselves." Goku said.
"Well, it's been nice knowin' ya guys." Ryo said.
"We're all gonna die!" Kento shouted.
"We're gonna die? I'm too young to die! I'm too gorgeous to die!" Sage complained.
Rowen promptly slapped him in the back of the head.
"Anyone got a transwarp cell?" Kale asked.
"What's that gonna do?" Ryo said. "We all die."
"First we'll blast you fools into oblivion, then we'll deal with your friends." Vegeta said.
"Oh great we can be the first to get vaped." Sai said.
"What is this fanfic coming to?" Anubis shouted.
"Remind me to hurt Destonus if we live through this." Sekhmet said.
"We're supposed to be winning! Amaterasu knows we need it after what happened in Dark War!" Kale shouted.
"Destonus has been hitting the crack pipe again hasn't he?" Dais said.
"And on top of that, somebody's giving Sai new lines! I think somebody kidnapped his voice actor!" Anubis shouted.
"You mean Scott McNeil's possessed Sai?" Kale said.
"Exactly." Anubis added.
"Anubis, I hope you have a plan to get out of here." Dais said.
"Of course I did. Plan A's out of the question because the Forgotten Souls are out cold."
"What's plan B?"
"Well, I suggest we call for help. Kay..." Anubis started to say.
"Um, we sorta foiled that one." Vegeta said.
He revealed a tied up Kayura.
"What was plan C?" Dais said.
"Um, we saw through that too." Goku said.
They revealed Anubis' cell phone.
"You're not calling Kenshin, or Lina, or any other backup." Vegeta said.
"What's plan D?" Dais asked.
"Um, if you're thinking you're getting out that easy..." Trunks said.
They revealed the announcer bound and gagged.
"There wasn't a plan E, was there?" Dais asked.
"No. I didn't plan that far ahead." Anubis said.
"We thought so. Prepare to meet your doom!" Goku said.
The three went airborne. Goku prepared to use his Spirit Bomb, Vegeta went SSJ1 and set up for his Big Bang Attack, and Trunks prepared to do his infamous Burning Attack.
The Ronins and Warlords closed their eyes to hide the pain.
"Flare Up...Now!" a female voice shouted.
"What happened?" Ryo asked.
"We're alive?" Sage said.
"But who saved us?" Sai asked.
Five warriors walked up to them.
"No one hurts my Ryo!" Sakura shouted.
"Sakura? What are you doing here?" Sage asked.
"And what are you doing in our armor?" Rowen asked.
"What hit us." Goku asked as he and the other three attempted to get up.
"No time to explain now. All of your questions will be answered eventually." Suiren explained.
"Dark Warlords, take these crystals." Ran said.
"Why should we trust you? You're the one who switched the Ronin's crystals and took theirs." Anubis said.
"We switched the crystals to help the Ronins! Your crystals and the ones they hold are more powerful than you could ever imagine!" Yuri explained.
"Give me one good reason why we should listen to you." Dais said.
"They're gifts from Kaosu and Amaterasu." Ayame said.
"What?" Kale said.
The Saiyans were beginning to get up.
"We can't tell you much more, but all will be revealed in time. Within these crystals are the powers of the White Neo Armors and a second set of armors, more powerful than anything you could ever imagine." Sakura said.
"Look Anubis! There are little people in these! Maybe I can break it out!" Kale said.
"No Kale!" Dais shouted.
"Ryo, you control the armor of the Zero Wildfire. Kento, you have the Nataku Hardrock. Rowen, the armor of the Griepe Strata will be yours. Sage, you have the Zeus Halo. Sai, you possess the Sandrock Torrent." Sakura said.
"Warlords, you too have mighty armors. In addition to the White Neo versions of your original Yoroi, you also possess new more powerful armor. Anubis, you have the Armor of the Deathscythe. Kale, you have the Epyon. Sekhmet, the power of the Ashura will be yours. And for Dais, the armor of Virsago." Suiren commanded.
"That hurt." Goku said.
"You're gonna pay." Trunks said.
All three of them powered up to SSJ 1.
"Ronins, our time is up. Hurry and call upon your new armors." Yuri said.
"Cue Just Communication, with a ten second delay!" Sakura said.
"Let's bash some Saiyans. Ronin Warriors to Arms!" Ryo shouted.
Their sub armors changed to a new form.
"Armor of the Zero Wildfire! Tao Jin!" Ryo shouted as the song began.
"Armor of the Nataku Hardrock! Tao Gi!" Kento screamed.
"Armor of the Griepe Strata! Tao Inochi!" Rowen shouted.
"Armor of the Zeus Halo! Tao Chi!" Sage added.
"Armor of the Sandrock Torrent! Tao Shin!"
"Armor of the Deathscythe! Tao Chu!" Anubis shouted.
"Armor of the Epyon! Tao Ko!" Kale shouted.
"Armor of the Ashura! Tao Tei!" Sekhmet shouted.
"Armor of the Virsago! Tao Nin!" Dais shouted.
The flowered wallpaper surged around them, and beams of light flew out of their crystals to their respective warriors, and began forming around the astonished warriors. Thousands of Sakura blossoms floated down around the nine, clothed in their new armor.
"As Kenshin would say, Oro." Anubis said as he admired his new form.
The new armors were unlike anything the Ronins or Warlords had ever seen. They were almost as if mecha had wrapped themselves around the nine warriors. The nine armors shone in the light of the sun.
"Uh oh. Where'd those new things come from?" Goku asked.
"They're nothing. So they've got new armor. We're Super Saiyans. Let's kick their butts."
Ryo realized he had a large double barreled cannon.
"Whoa, new weapons. Better try it out."
Ryo aimed at the Saiyans and blasted all three of them, knocking them away.
"Cool." Ryo said.
"My turn now." Kento said. "Flame-throwers online!"
His armor surged with energy, and twin flame-throwers flashed at the Saiyans, knocking them out of SSJ mode.
"I don't believe it. They blew us out of Super Saiyan forms!" Trunks shouted.
"Oh well. We need more power!" Goku shouted.
The three went to SSJ two and opened fire with everything they had at the Ronins new armor. A huge explosion ensued sending smoke erupting everywhere.
"Yeah! We killed them!"
Suddenly the smoke cleared, revealing the nine unscathed warriors.
"Our turn." Anubis said.
Ryo fired his large blaster at them. Kento fired his vulcan cannon. Sai and Anubis fired their vulcan cannons as well, nailing the three. Sekhmet fired his Eyelasers.
"We better go airborne." Goku said.
The three took to the air, and began firing energy bolts at the group.
"We've got to get up there. Yoroijets on!" Ryo shouted.
The others did the same and they blasted into the air as their rockets roared to life. Kale, Sage, and Ryo used their wings to maintain stability.
"Anubis, Sekhmet, Sai, Kento. You guys lay down some cover fire for us. Rowen, come with me. We've got to kick some butt, up close and personal." Ryo said as he unsheathed his Wildfire swords.
Rowen grabbed his staff. Kale and Sage unsheathed their swords.
"Let's cut to the chase. Fortunately, we can do both. Yoroijets, Maximum Burn!" Ryo shouted.
The others did the same and rocketed off after the rapidly escaping Saiyans.
"Uh Goku, they're gaining on us." Trunks said.
"I didn't think that armor was that fast." Vegeta said.
"Well duh they've got rocket thrusters on them. And three of them have wings, not to mention one of them's used to flying." Trunks added.
"I think we're expending most of our ki doing this." Goku said.
"Let's kick their butts then." Vegeta said.
They stopped. Ryo flew by Goku with his Wildfire Swords, cutting his hair. Sage and Kale did the same with their blades. Rowen flew above them, and dove at them, his spear ready to destroy them.
"This is not good." Goku said.
"That's much worse."
The remaining Ronins fired their weapons, nailing all of them.
"That does it!" Goku shouted.
They went to SSJ3.
"Say your prayers Ronins." Goku said.
"Uh oh." Kale said.
"Now what?" Sage asked.
"Enough playing around. It's time to see what these armors can really do." Ryo said.
Everyone pulled out their weapons as the song reached the red alerts. Ryo went through a difficult twin sword kata, while Kento went into a combination bo and nunchaku kata, while Sage and Kale were performing no-daichi katas. Anubis was doing a kata with his scythe, while a man-catcher sequence was being performed by Sai. Dais was performing one with his nunchaku and extensor blades, which were more like extensor legs now. Sekhmet was showing them all up with an extremely difficult six sword kata sequence. On top of that, they were doing them in midair!
"What are those fools up to?" Trunks wondered.
The nine led their kata sequences right into their sure-kill stances.
"Oh shoot! What're we gonna do now?" Vegeta wondered.
"Flare Up...Now!"
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Arrow Shock...wave!"
"Thunder...bolt...Cut!" Sage shouted.
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Quake With Fear!"
"Black Lightning Slash!"
"Snake...Fang...Strike!"
"Web of Deception!"
Nine sure-kills, at ten syllable strength, more powerful than they had ever been, slammed into the three Saiyans, knocking them out of Super Saiyan forms and halfway to King Kai's place. The people from Guinness charged out and gave them awards for the most katas done in midair in super armor, and stated that they would be in the '98 edition.
"Ryo! We did it!" Sage said.
"Yeah, but there's one problem..."
"What problem? We kicked their butts!" Kento shouted.
"But that's not it..."
"Nothing can stand in our way now." Rowen added.
"That's true, but there is one problem we didn't count on."
"So? We're victorious after three episodes!" Sai said.
"I am beginning to see your concern, Ryo of the Wildfire." Anubis said.
"As am I." Sekhmet added.
"This must be solved before we can engage in further combat." Dais said.
"What's the Problem?" Kale asked.
"How in the Nether Realm do we get down?" Anubis said.
"There's only one thing to do." Ryo said.
"What's that?" Rowen asked.
"This. HELP!" Ryo shouted. Soon everyone else was screaming.
Meanwhile, the Forgotten Souls had managed to untie the announcer and Kayura.
"Thanks guys. But where are the Ronins and Warlords?" she asked.
"Up there." Hariel said.
Kayura looked up to see the nine warriors hovering above her.
"How in the Nether Realm did you get up there?" she asked.
"Oh nothing. We just fired up the thrusters on these bad boys and voile, we're astronauts." Kento explained.
"Any suggestions?" Rowen asked.
"Just this. DAVID!" Kayura screamed.
David Kaye walked up.
"What can I do?" he asked.
"Do that announcer thing and get us out of here. We'll need some time to figure out how to get them down."
"Can you do it as Megatron?" Kale asked.
"Very well." David Kaye said.
Our heroes are stuck in the air, yesss. But they have been victorious against the evil forces of the Dragonball Warriors. Can they finally defeat them with their new armor? And will they be able to lower themselves from the sky to do so? We will find out in the fifth installment of Ronin Warriors versus Dragonball Z, yesss.
