A Different Take

I wish I owned the Ronin Warriors but I don't.

Chapter 11

Anubis sees another fall into the center of the matrix, from the pain of the armor squeezing his body and head thinks it is Ryo. Then the pain intensified.

"Stop!" Anubis said as he tried to pry the helmet off, to help relieve the pain.

"Is your armor crushing you too?" Ryo asked as he saw Anubis mess around with the helmet.

"Yes, it is almost to much for me to bear." Anubis said through gritted teeth.

"I was wondering, why did you save Yulie from falling into the volcano?" Ryo asked trying to think of something but the pain.

"Be.. cause... he... is very much... like my... second oldest child." Anubis said giving into telling part of the truth.

"Wow. I didn't see that coming. … How old is your oldest?" Ryo asked surprised.

"Yulie looks double the age of my oldest in human terms. If he was born on earth he would be four, but in the Nether World... he is four hundred and five." Anubis said realizing what Ryo was doing, killing time that they need to get close to Rowen.

At the castle...

"Master Talpa, Anubis did not come back when the energy ball went into the sky." Sekhmet said when he looked everywhere that Anubis would be.

"WHAT! Check the armory for the armor. Dais, check the tower to see if Anubis was too hurt to come back." Talpa ordered as the news of the missing warlord.

"Yes master." the three said wondering where their leader was.

With Dais...

"Damn, nothing but shards and rock. And no pinging. So that means that he is not here." Dais said looking around.

Then he left to go back to the castle in hopes that Anubis had made it back alive.

Back in the castle...

Talpa heard that Anubis was not in the tower so he scanned the matrix and sensed two armors in it.

"Blast, Anubis is in it as well. Oh well, at least he will take out the two Ronin Warriors with him." Talpa told himself.

Back in Space...

After Anubis told Ryo about his oldest he stopped for the pain grew to intense.

"Rowen!" Ryo suddenly called out as the pinging started in both armors in the matrix. "Must get up. Flare Up Now!" as Ryo did his attack he aimed away from Anubis. The duo floated out of the explosion, Anubis out already just floated away without any control, and Ryo floated a little a ways from Rowen.

Rowen now awake form the shock wave of Ryo blowing up the matrix fired an arrow to bring Ryo to him,

"Rowen, hey, reel in Anubis. He saved Yulie when he was at the volcano, tell ya when my armor stops hurting." Ryo said softly as he falls unconscious. Rowen, puzzled a little, did as asked and brought Anubis to the bubble, and then sent them back to earth.

"Huh? Where am I and how'd I end up here?" Rowen asked quickly then he sees Ryo and then sights Anubis. "Did the two of you fight?" pulling out his bow and training it on Anubis.

"Hey, stop." Ryo said trying to get the fight to not happen since Ryo is in no shape to and since Anubis was in the matrix longer is truly in no shape to fight.

The clouds grew dark as Talpa showed himself to the small group.

"Anubis, so this is where you fell." Talpa said before trying to pick up the wounded warlord.

Anubis cracked open an eye and saw Talpa's beam and he forced his body to move out of it. Doing so drained the last of his strength and his armor went away, and made him roll further away from Talpa.

"Anubis! You will betray me!" Talpa yelled in anger and then disappeared for the other Ronin came to the location.

Anubis realizing that since they now knew that he is human took off the base armor just so that Talpa will not track him as easily, and he fell into the darkness wanting to claim him.

The others started calling the last two Ronin and when they got there they was surprised to see another there as well.

"Hey, who is he?" Kento asked when they stopped.

"The warlord Anubis. Here, Kento take Ryo. I'll grab Anubis, now we can figure out Talpa's plans." Rowen said picking up Anubis, who is wearing a formal kimono.

"I am guessing that this means that the other three are human as well." Mia said as she thought.
