Ronin Warriors vs. Saban part 4
(Opens up on a Chinese Restaurant. In the background we hear the voice of David Kaye...)
DK: It has been a long and desperate battle for the Ronin Warriors, Warlords, Kayura, Saber Strike, Saranbo, and Talpa. Saban and the VR Troopers are yet to come. We go now to the palace of Talpa, where the Ronins have just returned...
"Man, that was some good Chinese." Kento said.
"Yes, but it got us nowhere in our quest to save our show from Saban!" Anubis
shouted in frustration. "And on top of that, that K guy was talking so loud,
I couldn't read this scroll I found in the library here before I we left."
he said.
"What does it say, Anubis?" Kale asked.
"Well, it goes something like this. Background Music!" Anubis shouted.
Soft music began playing in the background(duh) as Anubis began to read.
"It seems to be a prophesy of some sort. 'When Wildfire and Inferno stand side by side, the crystals of darkness with them will coincide, and when it seems we have lost all power, Crystónin will light our darkest hour. But if after victory the jewels remain attached, then the Earth has finally met it's match.'"
"And what does that mean?" Kento asked.
"It means that someone or something's gonna save us from becoming PC." Roin
said.
"Anubis, what is that long line there?" Kayura asked.
"I'm sure that it is a misprint." Anubis stated.
Suddenly the VR Troopers appeared in the palace!
"We have a message for Ryo of the Wildfire." Ryan Steele stated.
"Our boss Saban wants a fight between Ryo and himself. You win, we leave
you alone." J.B. stated.
"And if I lose?" Ryo asked.
"You belong to us." he said.
"Agreed." Ryo said.
The Troopers handed him a piece of paper stating where the fight was to be held. They then prepared to destroy them, but Talpa's guards grabbed them and dragged them off to God knows where to be destroyed.
"Ryo, are you nuts? Saban's going to use every cheap trick in the book to
get rid of you." Kento shouted, appalled at his companion's decision.
"Are you forgetting that Saban wrote the book on cheapness? There's no telling
what he'll do." Sage said.
The others pleaded with Ryo not to go through with it.
"Saban wants a fair fight, then that's what we'll give him. I'm confident
that the Armor of Inferno and the Soul Swords can take him down." Ryo said.
"But are you not afraid, Ryo of the Wildfire, that he will resort to cheapness,
making me unable to destroy you as I have always tried to do?" Talpa
asked.
"That's a risk I've got to take."
"Enough talk. We must get this over with." Anubis said. He prepared the staff
for teleportation.
"Wait, what do you think you're doing with MY staff?" Kayura asked
sarcastically.
"Here we go again." Roin groaned.
"And just what makes you think it is yours? The Ancient intrusted me with
it!" Anubis shot back.
"Until one of his clan took it back. Meaning me!" Kayura shouted.
"You are a foolish child Kayura. You cannot hope to control the power of
the Ancient." Anubis said.
"I can, and I will." Kayura said.
"Look at me. I have the threads. I look the part. Therefore, the power is
mine." Anubis said, pointing to his wardrobe.
"Will you two cut it out and have one of you teleport us?" Kale shouted.
"I'm getting sick of listening to your squawking."
With that they teleported to an arena, which just happened to be the Roman Coliseum. Yeah yeah it's wreaked. But Saban had somehow restored it to its former glory and his bodyguards were forcing the reporters who just had to get the scoop about the resurrection AND the story of the century, regarding the acquisition. Zedd had sent his own media correspondent, Beamcaster, to learn the attitudes of the competitors. Elgar was forced to be his camera person.
"So, Ryo, how do you think you'll do against Saban?" Beamcaster asked Ryo in an exclusive interview, with cameras flashing pics of him and the others. Kale was hoping that they got his good side.
"I think I'll teach Saban that the Ronin Warriors are not to be toyed around with. He'll wish that he never crossed paths with us."
Ryo and the others fought their way through the crowds of screaming teenage girls who just HAD to get a piece of Ryo's hair for their personal collection.
"Okay guys, I'll see you when the fight begins." Ryo said as he entered his dressing room.
This had been the only time that Ryo had shed his full armor since the fight had started. He now stood in his civilian clothes, contemplating the events that would decide their fate.
"Can I really beat Saban? I've got to...everyone's counting on me." he thought. But Anubis' prophesy was bouncing around through his head as he tried to make sense of it.
"Ryo of the Wildfire." a voice said.
The Ancient appeared before him, dressed as Anubis usually was.
"Do you think I can really do it Ancient?" Ryo asked him.
"Ryo, you must look deep within yourself for the power you need to beat Saban."
he said.
"But what if I can't?" Ryo asked.
"You must. The future of the Ronin Warriors depends on it." The Ancient began
to fade away.
"Wait don't go!" Ryo shouted.
"Beware the Crystónin..." The Ancient kept repeating.
Up in the stands, Ryo's cheering section had found the seats specially reserved for them. They were still in their Armor, and Anubis had donned his.
"Anubis, why are you wearing your armor?" Kayura asked.
"I don't know. I have this feeling that I can't describe, that's saying to
wear my armor during the fight. That's all I know." Anubis said.
"Attention ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, and monsters. The fight of the century between Ryo of the Wildfire and Haim Saban will begin in five minutes." the announcer said.
There was a knock on the door to Ryo's dressing room. It was Yuli and Mia. "Ryo! I know it's almost time, but I want to give you this!" Yuli said. In his hands was the Jewel of Life that had helped them beat Talpa.
"It's for good luck!" he said.
"Thanks Yuli. I can use all the luck in the world right about now."
"Good luck Ryo! We'll all be cheering for ya!"
Ryo felt a new surge of energy overcome his body. He grabbed his orb and activated his red and white sub-armor.
"Two minutes till the fight!" the announcer said.
"It's now or never." Ryo said.
He began moving his hands in kata with new vigor. "Armor of Wildfire!" Ryo shouted. His armor began to come toward him. "Tao...Jin!" He shouted. Flowered wallpaper began to surround him, and encircled above his head, and piece by piece, his armor hooked up. In seconds he was ready for battle.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Monsters and Mutants! We are gathered here today to bring you a fighting extravaganza! In this corner, representing the Ronin Warriors, Ryo of the Wildfire!"
A spotlight shone on Ryo. He looked over to one side, where his friends were all cheering for him. On the other, Saban's minions, rather what was left of them, were booing Ryo.
"And in this corner, the master of assemble editing, and every cartoon theme song known to man, Mr. Haim Saban!"
As the mysterious being walked in, all his creations exploded with applause as he bowed to them.
"Now about the rules...there are none! Fight when you hear the bell!"
"Saban, you created the Samurai Pizza Cats. Now you face the real thing.
I am Ryo of the Wildfire! I fight with pure virtue, and I'll see to it that
my Wildfire Swords drink deeply of your blood!" Ryo shouted.
"Really. We'll just see about that.
"Ding!"
Ryo charged Saban, but somehow, he generated an energy shield like Magneto
to protect himself.
"You thought that tokusatu was all I commanded, didn't you. Try this on for
size!"
Saban began shooting energy bolts from his eyes like Cyclops, knocking Ryo down. Ryo charged, slashing with his swords.
"Yeah! Go Ryo!" Kento shouted from the stands.
Saban blasted Ryo with his own bio energy like Bishop, sending him flying. While Ryo was airborne, he encased himself in metal like Colossus and whacked him with an uppercut.
"Dirty Fighter! Dirty Fighter!" the Ronins and Warlords booed.
"Everyone's a critic." Saban said.
Tentacles came out of his arms, entangling Ryo and draining his life energy. He then sent him flying, after picking up a rock and making it explosive, he threw it at Ryo and knocked him to the ground. Ryo somehow managed to stand up. Fire began to swirl in his eyes, and he removed his armor. The Armor of Inferno appeared behind him, and the black sub-armor of the Inferno appeared on him as energy waves swirled around him. The twin gauntlets locked into place, and Ryo became engulfed in flames, attaching his torso and helmet. On his legs the twin white shin guards attached, and Ryo began to surf on flame. Whiteblaze leaped from the stands, and became Blackblaze, bearing the Soul Swords of Fervor.
"Now it's my turn." Ryo said.
"Bring it on, little man."
Ryo placed the blades hilt to hilt. "Rage...Of...The Inferno!" he screamed, sending a searing white bolt of flame flying toward Saban, and a great explosion resulted upon contact.
"Yeah! Ryo beat him!" Kento cheered.
"Way to go!" Sai added.
"You showed him Ryo!" Roin added.
"He never knew what hit him!" Sage said.
Yuli hugged Mia, while the Warlords, Kayura, Saranbo and Saber Strike did
the Macarena as a victory dance.
"HaHaHaHaHa. You really thought you could beat me."
The smoke cleared, and Saban was unhurt.
"Did I forget to tell you I have the bad mutant powers too, like Apocalypse?" he said.
Mia and Anubis covered Yuli's ears as Kento began swearing every expletive on the planet, and Talpa began swearing in demon tongues.
Saban summoned a wind storm, and blew Ryo right into the wall. He then psychically lifted the White Armor off of Ryo and threw it to the ground. He sprouted wings and went airborne, raining feathers on Ryo in an attempt to destroy him. Ryo leaped into the air in an attempt to hit him with his legs, but Saban teleported back to the ground. From there he blasted Ryo with fireworks. Ryo crashed to the ground. He struggled to get up.
"Got to...get armor on." he said. "Armor of Wildfire! Tao...Ji" He started to say before Saban cut him off by encasing him in ice. Ryo broke free, wearing his Wildfire armor.
"...n" Ryo finished. Ryo placed those swords together, but Saban grabbed him and began to suck the energy out of him. Unknown to either of them, the Armor of Inferno had somehow gotten up, and there was someone in it now. He kicked Saban, and Ryo leaped out of his way and went airborne.
"As I live and breathe! The prophesy is coming true!" Anubis exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Saban demanded.
"I am Hariel, former Dark Warlord and First Ronin Warrior, also the first
to ever use the White Armor of Inferno."
He picked up the Soul Swords of Fervor.
It feels good to hold these again. Wildfire!" He shouted to Ryo, "How about
we double team this guy?"
"Good Idea."
The two warriors placed their respective weapons hilt to hilt.
"Flare Up...Now!" Ryo screamed at the top of his lungs, sending a surge of
flame straight at Saban.
"Rage...of...The Inferno!" Hariel screamed, achieving maximum output.
The blasts nailed Saban, but failed to phase him. He had protected himself with another Magneto shield. He psychically removed Ryo's armor again, leaving him in his sub-armor.
"Armor of Wildfire! Tao...Jin!" Ryo shouted. But nothing happened.
"You're mine now." Saban shouted.
Suddenly, the crystals that were attached to the Ronin's armors encircled Ryo. Those pertaining to the Ronin Armors attached themselves to his body in the spots that they were key to on the Inferno, right on Ryo's gauntlets. The Warlord's crystals did the same. The Jewel of Life began twirling as it always did, and the Earth began to rumble. Crystal wedges began to erupt from the ground as fast as Wolverine protracts his claws, and quickly began to envelop Ryo. The sky crackled with lightning, striking Ryo, who was now screaming in pain as the translucent crystals began to form a prison around him. Lightning continued to flash as Ryo continued to cry out in pain.
Words echoed from the Ancient's voice. "...the crystals of darkness with them will coincide, and when it seems we have lost all power..."
These words echoed as Ryo continued to scream in pain.
"What is happening to me?" Ryo shouted.
To be Continued...
(Freeze Frame of the scene. We hear David Kaye once again.)
DK: The fight against Saban has proven to be an exciting one. But what will
have become of Ryo of the Wildfire and his power of Pure Virtue when he finally
emerges from the prison that he is now within? And will it be friend or foe?
Find out in the next exiting chapter of Ronin Warriors vs. Saban.
