The Six Ronins
I do not own the characters nor the worlds, this is just my take on the Ronin Warriors
Chapter Four
The Ronins and the two normal humans stayed at a cabin near wear they had met Saberstrike, Cye was doing some nervous cooking and they all had great things to eat.
"So, Anubis why do you think that this Saberstrike guy will join us?" Kento asked trying to figure out why the newest member was so certain.
"He will learn that I was telling the truth and the fact that he can talk to Black Blaze." Anubis said thinking.
"Ah, hey White Blaze want to tell Black Blaze the truth?" Ryo asked White Blaze whom let out a purring like growl and nodded.
"Anubis I had noticed that you are a little bit more open and more, something like teenager like. I was wondering how old are you?" Rowen said making the others and Anubis look at him.
"I was fifteen when Talpa got me to join, that was over four hundred years ago, physically I'm still fifteen, mentally I'm four hundred seventy-five. I don't understand why this is necessary." Anubis said getting his eyebrows knitted together.
"Wow, you said those coins was four hundred, they are mostly five hundred, no wonder they drooled when they saw them. Anubis, didn't you say that the white armor absorbs evil right? Well, you linked up once, and now started acting a little your age, physically." Rowen said making them all look at Anubis.
"I forgot, so if the other three gets to be part of the link up they would be free from Talpa's old control?" Anubis wondered aloud.
"Why did you say that, of course they would." Rowen said thinking hard.
"I still feel the power from my armor, they are still being controlled by someone." Anubis said, making the others wonder. "What? I can sense you. That is how I met the two in town just before Saranbo came into the picture."
"I never thought that we can sense each other. We can figure this out later, right now how do we get Saberstrike to be part of this group?" Sage said now worried about this little tidbit.
White Blaze walked out and started running towards the other tiger. When they met, Black Blaze went into battle ready to strike the other tiger for coming.
Stop. I came here to talk to your bonded. I have information about the newest member of the cubs that I watch. White Blaze said going over to his twin and head butting him.
Fine, but I will watch you because for the fact that I love the one that I bonded to. Black Blaze said then he smiled. So a male tiger with cubs. I would love to see how you met them to adopt them as your cubs.
The battle from Talpa. That is how. White Blaze said as they started walking towards where Saberstrike is currently at. Saberstrike was currently cleaning the Soul Sword of Fervor and was surprised that the tiger that follows the Ronins is here.
"Black Blaze, what is this?" Saberstrike asked the tiger.
My twin says that he has to talk with you. Black Blaze said to the master swordsman.
"That would be fine." Saberstrike said now looking at the white tiger.
The Ronins trust the Ancient One, whom has fought Talpa, and he did free Anubis from the control of Talpa's will. The white armor absorbs evil and they now notice that Anubis is calmer and is truly one of them, please, we need you to teach the cubs how to fight the evil that is to come. White Blaze said bowing a little getting the attention of Saberstrike and Black Blaze.
"Did the Ronins send you? So, you are the mediator for them. I will decide by battle, the leader of the Ronins, in the white armor with one sword of Fervor, no magic, just skill. If he shows skill I will join and teach them. If not I will leave." Saberstrike said coming up with this decision was hard but this is the fairest way he could think of.
I will tell the cubs. Where will we meet? White Blaze asked getting up and was ready to leave.
I will come and lead you to the site of where the combat shall take place. Black Blaze said leading the white twin away.
"So, one of the warlords is free." Saberstrike said to the soul sword.

White Blaze couldn't speak to the Ronins like he wanted to, but he can come up with ways that make them understand.

When White Blaze came back and pulled Ryo over to the wall and he grabbed two swords from the said wall, you could say that Ryo was confused.
"I think White Blaze got through and is trying to say how we can get him on our side." Rowen said looking at the strange behavior from the giant tiger.
"I guess so, the swords of Fervor, right boy?" Ryo asked the tiger. White Blaze dropped the two swords and nodded, then grabbed one again and swung the sword at the one on the floor.
"Trial by combat, he would." Anubis said as he saw the blades hit.
"I think we get one of the swords and we have to fight, I get that but how with the swords special attack and in what armor?" Ryo said looking at the tiger. White Blaze moved four of them closer to Ryo and then went back to hitting the sword.
"White Blaze is saying that no to the special attack, and the fight should be in the white armor. I can guess." Yulie said getting ready for sleep.
"So trial by combat, no abilities, and in the white armor. And I guess White Blaze knows when. Well, we need to get some sleep and then we can go and get ready for the test." Ryo said picking up the swords and then plopping down next to White Blaze to sleep.
Way early in the morning…
Roar, Roar. A tiger's cry next to the door. White Blaze went to lick everyone awake and even Anubis was trying to get their hair back down.
White Blaze then went to the door and head butted the other tiger and started following. The humans and the Ronins went into pursuit and made it to the place with tiger slobber in their hair.
"Aright, guys to arms and stay back. Since only I can summon the white armor." Ryo said then he put on the Wildfire armor and then when the others focused to send their power to Ryo. This time only Sage was the only one not affected by the power drain.
"So it is true that the armor is white. Black Blaze, please give Ryo one of the swords." Saberstrike said looking at the group. Then the battle started after Black Blaze jumped out of the way. At first all they saw was simple movements but then the two that was fighting started going into the extremes, it seems as if Saberstrike is testing Ryo if he can learn the fighting style. Soon they turned and the swords sang as they hit the other and soon after fifteen minutes of fighting the soul sword disappeared from Saberstrike's hand and appeared in Ryo's.
"Whoa, that was cool." Kento said after the battle was decided in his friends favor.
"So, Anubis is on the side of good. I will teach you Ronins. Anubis, I want nothing told of this to Talpa or the people that follow him." Saberstrike said looking at the ex-warlord.
"So go into hiding in the land near Mia's home. The land is lovely and is calm, but filled with areas that we can train at." Ryo said trying to make peace with the lord.
"Black Blaze, go and follow Ryo of the Wildfire to show that to the Dynasty I am one of the fallen, And be safe." Saberstrike said then he disappeared.
"So now we have an ally that is a teacher. That is great and all I have to do is ask the volcano to fix the nicks and weak spots on the Wildfire Katana." Ryo says feeling better already.
