Chapter Four: The warning to late.

When Reno was done telling the Ronins his dream they had various reactions to it. Sage was scoffing and thinking that no one can dream the future.

Ryo was thinking that Reno was just having nightmares.

The rest but Rowen thought Reno was making this up, Reno was used to people not believing him about his dreams so he sat near Cale next to the wall.

"Hum, maybe he is right. We don't know why the armor went to chose someone, and Kayura did state that we might have to fight again. So Kayura, could you double the guard on the North gate?" Rowen said after thinking a bit.

"Yes, I can and will. That sounds almost like the warnings I got when I asked the elders why the Loyalty Orb went off." Kayura said back to Rowen.

"Good, at least we should be prepared if something did come from the north." Rowen said smiling at Kayura.

"Why don't those two kiss." Reno mumbles way under his breath.

Cale was surprised to hear Reno say that.

Then Cale looked at the two and it did look like the two was smiling at each other too much.

Dais saw that Cale had a very odd look on his face after the meeting was done. So maybe Cale would ask him what made that odd look.

Soon Cale entered Dais' meditation room and walked over to Dais.

"Dais, Reno said why 'doesn't Rowen of the Strata and Lady Kayura kiss.' And when I looked to figure out what he saw I saw that the two were just friendly. What does this mean?" Cale asked as soon as he was in front of Dais.

"So, you noticed it as well. That our armor gave powers out of armor that get stronger as we arm up." Dais said motioning Cale to sit.

"What are you talking about Dais?" Cale asked eyes narrowing.

"Have you done something out of armor that surprised you or the others lately?" Dais asked trying to make Cale think.

"I understood a giant bird and the Ronins was surprised, but after I gained the armor I could understand any beast… That is what you are saying; is that we have more powers than we think we do." Cale said to Dais' surprise.

"So that is your ability, mine that I have noticed is to persuade people to what I say is the truth. If Anubis had known he would have made me realize it sooner about Talpa." Dais said with a frown.

"Well, since you are normally quiet what have you seen the others do?" Cale asked wondering what the warrior of Illusion saw.

"From observation, Anubis can always tell when someone liked another. Sekhmet can cure people or poison those people. Sage can put hope in others hearts. Cye must be able to talk to fish and sea life. Kento gets stronger as he gains the base armor and then the armor of Hardrock. Ryo, that I saw, can control fire. Rowen since his armor is Strata must be able to know where he is." Dais said as he closes his eye.

"So, we have powers that we need to learn to control and possibly get more power to help with our fight that is coming up." Cale said summarizing the talk.

"Basically but how do we learn and does it affect us or only others?" Dais asked putting out that he hasn't seen them use the powers on them selves.

"Well, then we need to find out." Cale said leaving the room to think.

"So, you are telling us that we like each other and how do you know this?" Kayura and Rowen asked at the same time.

"Because I am new, the others has gotten used ta you acting this way without realizing the reason. I see that ya two like each other and since ya two are really protesting too much it is true." Reno said with a smile.

"How… we were trying to be discrete." Rowen said.

"By trying too hard I guess." Reno said still smiling.

Then he noticed Sekhmet growling a little when he came out of the hallway.

"Hey what is the matter greenie?"

"Greenie?" Sekhmet asked looking at Reno.

"I forgot your name, sorry, I just called ya that because of ya hair." Reno said rubbing the back of his head.

"It's Sekhmet, don't call me greenie again or I will get even." Sekhmet growled out.

"Well, Sekhmet, what is the problem?" Reno tried again.

"It's Dais, no matter what I do he ignores me." Sekhmet said still angry. Reno blinks, this man is definitely gay.

"Well, have ya tried talking ta the man? Or telling him ta, stop ignoring ya?" Reno asked hoping for an answer.

"I haven't, I was hoping that he would notice but he is talking with Cale and it is pissing me off further." Sekhmet said using some new terms that the Ronins use.

"Well, after Cale gets done with his talk, go ta him and tell him what you just told me. Hopefully your friend should listen ta ya and something would happen." Reno said to the Snake man.

"Fine." Sekhmet said before going to search for Dais.

"Hn, helping people sort their lives. They would have noticed on their own." Sage said coming out of the next room.

"Well, it is better than just sitting by doing nothing and getting homesick. By the way, where is that man that I see next ta ya. Ya'know the one that his stomach growls a lot." Reno says back.

"You mean Kento, what about him?" Sage asked worriedly.

"Ain't cha together?" Reno asked looking around.

"No, we are just best friends. I don't why you thought that but that isn't true." Sage said to Reno with his eyes narrowed.

"Oh, I think ya need ta ask Kento about that. He was looking at you when no one was speaking." Reno said to the stunned teen as he walked towards the north.

"Could he be reading too much into our friendship?" Sage asked himself aloud.

Reno saw that people in armor train and do sweeps around the gate. He just sat near a wall that so he could watch the place since the bad feeling is growing.

The gate made a creaking noise as it was forced open.

"Uh, guard the gate. How was I supposed to put that base armor on again? Oh yeah, Armor of Cruelty Dao Chuu! She said that this is base armor that means that there is armor to go over this. Armor of Cruelty Dao Chuu!" Reno said as he saw cherry blossoms surround him and turn into armor that he now is wearing. He looks at the weapon and doesn't recognize what it is.

"Demons of the Dark World, Defeat the ones that killed one of our own." A person on a black beast called out.

"Okay, how do I use this, throw the sickle or the weight?" Reno asked himself then he watched one of the soldiers that had a similar weapon and saw how to use it a bit.

So he started attacking a demon that was closest to him. The Demon's weapon knocked the chain away and an energy blast hit Reno right in the chest and he collapsed, the demon walking towards Reno whom went back to base armor to pick him up.

"Black Lightning Slash!" Cale's voice called out as Reno was getting grabbed.

The Demon got pushed back and then with another attack from Cale got shoved through the gate along with his followers.

"Ow, that hurt." Reno said as he got up from the ground.

"What happened to you?" Cale asked as soon as Reno got up.

"I have no clue how to use this at all and you all expect that I will have the ability to use it. Jeez one of ya should have tried ta get me to at least practice." Reno said as he got up.

"You're right, we should have, but now we have to make you learn at a faster rate than we have time for." Cale said as the others get there.

"What happened here?" Ryo asked looking at the damage.

"The gate opened and they seem to want revenge on the people the killed one of their own." Reno said holding his chest, "Now how do I get the base armor off so that I can use magic from my world for my chest."

After Reno learned how he healed himself to the amazement of the others but when they learned it was because a ball they just laughed a little.

Cale took Reno to a training area to teach him how to put the armor on as fast as the Ronins did against them.

"As soon as you suspect the creatures from that world is coming put on your base armor, right now." Cale said making Reno jump and soon Reno was able to put the base armor with a thought.

"Now for the armor that you wear, you need to be able to do it at a moments notice, the others know this, for they had to be able to this to defeat the evil Talpa. Since you lack that part of the training now put on your armor until you are able to do it when that gate reopens."

That training took three days of work.

"Now for your weapon its form is called kusari-gama. There is an attack that goes with it but as it was for us you need to learn that on your own then we continue more on that."

"Why not tell me now?" Reno asked getting tired, all he wants to do is take a nap in the room he was given.

"Because it won't make sense. For one thing it took us a bit to learn, you just need to learn the basics until you are ready and Kayura will know when you are ready." Cale said making Reno mad.

Reno growled and threw the clawed weight at Cale and hit him but not even hurting the other. Cale started laughing, at least this is making Reno learn the weapon and how to use it but right now that was his plan.

"Stop laughing, jerk." Reno said has he pulled the chain back to him.

"No, not until you can do some damage." Cale said noticing that Reno was mad but he could channel the anger, good less damages for the new Ronin.

"Why don't you Quake with Fear while I am just learning." Reno yelled with his eyes closed as he threw the chain harder than the first time making Cale surprised at the fact that Reno purposely missed.

"Arg, shit. I got you too mad." Cale said as he was wrapped in chains.

Reno was surprised that something happened and that Cale was caught by his weapon's add-ons.

"Cale! What did I do? How do I get ya out of this?" Reno said worried that he hurt his new friend.

"You used the power of the armor, quake with fear, and that attack tangled me and to stop it there is several ways of getting rid of it. The best way right now for you is to release your armor and then I will tell you how to fix this without doing that." Cale said smiling because Reno seemed to be worried about him and his safety.

"Okay." Reno said doing what he learned in the past few days. Cale was free and he fell the few feet that he was off the ground, Reno rushes to see if the one helping him is okay.

Cale saw this as opportune time to show why he is so sure that Reno can be taught this in so little time.

Reno close to the ex-warlord was surprised at the kiss that Cale did, then he melted into the kiss, and then he pushed Cale away and ran.

"Why did he? What did I do to frighten him so?" Cale said to the trees nearby.

Just at the same time as Reno using Quake with Fear

"Flare up Now! Arrow Shock Wave! Web of Deception!" three of the Ronins fired at the same time destroying the enemy Demon.

"I guess we have to work together to beat them." Ryo said after getting his breath back.

"But how did Cale beat one back?" Dais asked the Ronin leader.

"I don't know but we need to find out." Rowen said looking at the chains flying around,

"Looks like Cale got Reno to use the armor's attack."

"Yeah. Oh look it is disappearing. Must have been an accident. Maybe Cale got hurt." Ryo said voice getting urgent when that thought came to him.
