Ronin Warriors – Being of the Mystical Armors

By Tayla Drago

Chapter # 2 - Anubis, the Dark Warlord of Cruelty

(Okay, before I do the next chapter here…Again this is a bit different but still good and better from the Anime series, including episode 2 that was…Not the voice actors fault, but what just happened then? I didn't get it! Could they at least try fixing it? Oh, well. It'll be better for me to still think of the voice actors of the series itself when reading it. Got it? Good, here we go then.)

Talpa sends the Dark Warlord of Cruelty Anubis to eliminate the Ronin Warriors, telling him to target Mia as the Warriors will fight to protect her. Seems like he was up first while other Dark Warlords of his - Cale, the Dark Warlord of Corruption, Dais, the Dark Warlord of Illusion, and Sekhmet, the Dark Warlord of Venom to stay put. It's a trap.

Elsewhere in town that was mess up, the military tries to launch an attack on Talpa's castle to no avail as the Dynasty turns their own weapons against them and obliterates the attacking force. As the Ronin Warriors were hiding underground of the city being covered in darkness – for Mia, Ully, Kero, and White Blaze stayed close; while Ryo stayed by the sleeping Minako's side until she wakes up 'seems to be a fast healer from her powers' while Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage at times kept on watch from any Dynasty attacks. Minako then wakes up to try to remember more about her past, but there was still nothing to keep on trying; for now Minako tries to slowly open her eyes.

"Ah, man…!" Minako had trouble getting up to know she was in a battle and then passing out. "Is this another dream? Kero?"

Kero then comes on top of Minako's lap to be happy to see her again, she then sees the others that she saved 'after saving her first' to almost panic again, but Ryo calms her down in time.

"Hey, there, Minako. Easy." he said. "Try not to freak out this time, okay? You're safe with us."

As Minako sees the others around the room, she felt they were 'of course' trust worthy if Kero was fine to hang around with them.

"They are…? What happened?"

How can any of them forget on what they just saw?

"You were fighting against one of the Dynasty demons, and saved us all in the end." Mia said to her. "You are indeed the Pure Heart of the Ronin Warriors with the Armor of Diamond. Such beautiful powers."

"Beautiful and deadly." Ully added.

"Really?" Minako then remembers since she does have the sub armor on her still. Mia shakes hands with Minako to introduce herself first.

"My name is Mia Koji. Nice to meet you."

As Ully hopes that his parents will be fine and Mia knowing a lot on what she works on at the university with her grandfather to study upon the Ronin Warriors, makes sense. For that and Minako to slowly come to an understanding they were trust worthy to be around them. For White Blaze goes up next to Minako while she was trying to get up on her feet.

"Ah!" she panics in front of a wild tiger. "Hi, there…Sorry for freaking out in front of you…"

As Kero was fine to sense White Blaze was a good tiger, he looks at Minako to be smelling her hand, then rubbing his head against it, and goes up to be kissing her. He barely does it to some of the people like Ully to be doing that to her. Minako almost screams to soon be laughing with joy to make a new friend.

"Hey, White Blaze likes you." Ryo said to her.

"So I notice. He reminds me a lot like Kero here." she said to be patting White Blaze's head. "Nice name for your friend here. Beautiful white tiger and very rare."

Kero waves hello to everyone else on his end for they were amazed to see a tiny dragon to be real, Ully already likes both him and White Blaze.

"Cool pet dragon. Hi, Kero. My name is Ully." he said. "And you must be a pretty princess who can fight bad guys."

Nice way of Ully to put it for Minako, but she was herself.

"Me? Oh, no. I'm just a girl with no past and I'm trying to find it. No family, friends, the good times I had, and such to wake up in the woods with Kero. I need to know more…" she then changes the subject. "You people are all nice to me, so this is good. My name is Minako by the way."

Then the other five of the Ronin Warriors introduce themselves to Minako next for she was feeling better, but a bit weak from her first battle. So it'll be a bit until she can fully fight again.

"Nice to meet you, Minako. My name is Ryo."

"Call me Kento, honey!" Kento was sort of a lady's man to Minako.

"Ignore him please." then Cye goes up next. "I'm Cye."

"Rowen's the name."

"And I'm Sage. Anything you need to help us, we'll help you out in return." said Sage.

"Really?" this made Minako happy to turn to Kero about the news. "Kero, did you hear? They're going to help us."

The little dragon was sure happy about it. And speaking of Minako not knowing about her past...

"So Minako, are you sure you don't remember anything before this event happened?" asked Ryo.

No matter how hard Minako was thinking, this wasn't so easy leaving Kero to nod a big no to them for they had try but with no luck.

"Well, I don't." she answers. "I don't know why. That's why I have to find out about myself and why I have these powers like all of you do…" Just then, White Blaze was roaring to sense danger was coming, and Kero to be flying around-like crazy too. One of the Dynasty members have found their hiding place. Not good! "Kero?" Minako then sense it out too. "(Not good…! I felt this from before back in the woods…More danger's coming.)"

Anubis finds the Warriors, Mia, Minako, White Blaze, Kero, and Ully hiding in the subway and attacks. To make it looks like he was after Mia, but again it was all a set up without any of them knowing about it at all.

"This is bad…" said Sage to tell Ully and Mia to stay put. "You two, watch yourselves."

I think Mia will protect Ully while White Blaze protects them too.

"We need to think of their safeties first." Ryo said to the others.

"I take we need to stop him next-?" Before Minako could join in, Ryo catches her from falling again for she was too weak to fight for a few minutes.

"Easy there, Minako. We'll handle this. You, Kero, and White Blaze protect Mia and Ully until you're fully healed." Ryo has a point to say to Minako.

"Yeah, but you guys-!"

"We'll be fine." said Kento.

"Worry about yourself while we take care of this one." and Rowen.

For Kero hugs Minako to trust in them since they did with her to be saving their lives.

"Trust us." Ryo said with a serious look on his face.

"Well, okay then…"

And with that, Kero and Minako stay next to those two in the middle as the Ronin Warriors run around in circle to use a special move in order to protect the five while fighting against Anubis.

"Form the circle!" shouted Cye.

The Warriors use their armors to form the Circle of Power to protect Mia and Ully 'while White Blaze, Kero, and Minako watched', as each of them go in to battle against the Warlord. From all their armors creating a huge barrier to go up and fight – from Virtue, Justice, Trust, Life, and Wisdom to go as Minako uses her other one being Love to stop Anubis's other weaponry of long chains for not hurting them.

"Nice one, Minako!" Ully said with joy.

"Oh, thanks…" she was surprised herself. "(Who knew I had it in me. And if those guys are fighting but me, they better know what they're doing.)"

With Kero flying around, making cute little noises, acting like he was punching air and such to cheer the five on as Mia knows how hard it can be without fighting by their side right now to be telling Minako that. She will help them out soon for the gems she was collecting were healing her up which was very good to have.

"I know this is hard not to fight just yet, but have faith in all of them." she said. "We all must if they're going to win this battle like we do."

For seeing the way on how fast they were for withstanding Anubis's deadly attacks and strength too of his armor, they're not giving up – as all five of them were a team. For Minako to be see all of this as Kero was holding her with care, or so she thinks…

"Amazing…" Minako was speechless but in a good way. "(I guess there are those who care to even give up their lives for you. Well, I don't want this to happen to any of them.)"

Hard battle for them to stay together; but without their armors, they are no match for Anubis and he ties them up with his Quake with Fear attack. With that the chains grow out from underground to trap the five in the air with no way out.

"This is bad!" Mia said in fear.

"Ryo! Put on the armor!" Ully tries telling them not to give up. "Call off the circle!"

Not good since they were having trouble to for Minako who was unable to do anything just yet.

"Ryo! You guys! Hang in there!"

How will Ryo, Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage get out of this one?

"Minako…! Stay there!" he said. "Protect the others…Save yourselves! And we really wish we can get our armors back…!"

The Ronins are unable to dissolve the circle and call upon their armors, but the Ancient One appears 'out of nowhere and to the others surprise too' and uses his staff to dissolve it himself. Along with Kero's body started to glow on Minako of her armor while healing.

"Who's that…? Kero? What's happening?" she was very surprised.

For that the staff glows to bring the five armors back into the other five to save them, as Kero had the power to awaken Minako to heal up quickly to feel fine now and goes up to join the others into battle.

"What was that, Mia?" Ully asks her.

"The Accident One. He dissolves the circle." she said. "And Kero…He just heal up Minako somehow."

With Kero to be happy for Minako to be back to normal, she helps the others now by using her powers.

"No way…My powers are back. In that case…" Minako gets ready to aid them since she was a pure heart of the team. "Time to light things up!"

The other five Ronins sub armors all started to glow for the other parts have return from within them. Minako flies over to cut the chains down, for they were loss on how the spell of theirs as broken, since the Accident One left afterwards.

"Minako?" Ryo, Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage all said in their confusion.

"No time to explain." she said. "Now, transform so we can beat this Anubis person! ARMOR OF DIAMOND!"

The Ronins summon their armor along with Minako to be joining in. All that the other four could do was to watch for Kero wasn't a normal looking dragon at all.

"Thanks, Minako. In that case…" Ryo transforms first. "ARMOR OF WILDFIRE!"

So the other four joined in as well.

"ARMOR OF HARD ROCK!"

"ARMOR OF TOURREENT!"

"ARMOR OF STRATA!"

"ARMOR OF HALO!"

Then they all go into their armors as Minako says this part next.

"TO ARMS!" she cries out.

Once they all transformed and Minako fully healed, Anubis was the first to see another Ronin Warrior in the team to keep aware of.

"(What's this? A sixth member's a woman?)" he questions himself. "You must be new, young lady. But do you really think by freeing the others will still stop me?"

She tries to be strong with her new friends by her side.

"As a team, we will! I won't let you hurt these boys without their armor to be giving their lives up for Mia and Ully. And attacking them like flies, you're low as you can get…! For am I Minako, of the Diamond with a Pure Heart to the Ronin Warriors who also seeks out Love! So prepare to be crystallize, Anubis, Warlord of Cruelty."

Either way, Anubis must still carry out Talpa's wishes to destroy the Ronin Warriors and those standing in the Dynasty's way.

"Demon! We won't any of you take over our world!" said Ryo.

"Well, doesn't matter if you have another member on your team…" Anubis uses his chains to stop his enemies. "So we'll just see about that!"

As Ryo and Anubis launch their most powerful attacks against each other at the same time and Minako backing him up by destroying some of the chains to turn them all to crystal shards from her scythe to have the upper hand against this Warlord member. Soon Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage joins them with their weapons out to try stopping Anubis as well as a team; from sword swinging, ducking away from the chains, arrow shooting, and such Anubis started fleeing from jumping from building to building for Minako to go after him.

"Come back, coward!" she said.

"We'll bring him down together, Minako." Ryo joins with her. "Come on!"

She was more than happy to have back up by her side.

"Yes, Ryo."

Those three were fast for Ryo had to power up from his armor within him to stop Anubis's other attack, as Minako takes flight to use her attacks against him.

"Both of your time ends here!" Anubis powers up to fire his weapon at the two. "Quake with Fear!"

It goes after Ryo first to use his Armor of Wildfire to power up and attack to cancel with Anubis's too and fast.

"Flare up Now!"

It works. Well, sort of…One of Ryo's swords gets knocked from his hand for Minako to destroy the rest of the chains with her attack to free him back on the ground.

"I got you, Ryo!" she releases her attack. "Shard of Crystal Cyclone!"

Although Ryo did back at the Warlord and he passes out, but Anubis was injured too. They did it so far as we team.

"Curses…!" argue Anubis.

"We did it, Ryo. Well, so far we have." said Minako to see something was wrong with Ryo. "Ryo? Ryo!"

He was then down for the count for the others to arrive to stop Anubis next.

"Ryo!" Kent, Cye, Rowen, and Sage said together.

"Guys, he's fine. Just took a heavy hit from the counter attack." said Minako. "I think I can heal him back up since I have this type of power the same as mine. (Still, it's so weird.)" Minako knows she has healing powers to aid Ryo quickly as the five boys take care of Anubis.

"You'll pay for this, Anubis." said Sage.

"You help Ryo out, Minako." Rowen said to her. "We got this."

"We'll protect you!" Kento said.

"No matter what happens to us!" and Cye.

Realizing the Circle of Power is unbroken and he cannot allow the Ronins to face him for the four will stop Anubis as Minako begins healing Ryo with her gem-like diamond; suddenly, Talpa sends a tornado of dark energy that picks up the Warriors and scatters them to the most desolate regions on Earth. To Kero, White, Blaze, Mia, and Ully's surprise it wasn't a good sign at all to be seeing at all…For Kero pulls Minako away that something does happen to the five Ronin Warriors to not be a very good one at all and allowing Anubis to think that he has won the battle.

"Wait, Kero, what are you-?" she tries to help the others. "Stop! You guys! Run away!"

But it was too late…Talpa uses his powers to separate Ryo, Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage to each different parts of the world leaving Mia, Ully, White Blaze, Minako 'since for some reason as Kero protected her from it all', and the little dragon himself to see the horror to be happening right now. Where have all five of them go to? Did Talpa really got rid of them all? Are they still alive? Doesn't look like it since one of them was inside a real volcano…For Minako to get worried to see those that she saved were long gone, but Kero didn't think so.

"This is bad…! Ah, man! This is really bad!" she started freaking out again to have her head hurting. "Now what do we do? Where's a super hero when you need more of them?! I can't protect the others alone even with White Blaze won't be enough…!" Kero then started to glow up brightly red all over his body for the pink to leave. Why was that? Minako then senses something out to be something unknown but a sign that the Ronin Warriors were still alive somewhere. "Kero…?" she then feels him out. "Wow! This color belonging to…Ryo's armor. Which means he and the others might still be alive! Come on, Kero. We need to figure this out, get White Blaze's help, and find out what we need to do next." Kero flies with joy to go join with Minako to tell the three on something big, for there was still hope left. Does Talpa know too soon for him and the other four Warlords to make a move before she does first to bring them back together again? Well, when there's a will then there's a way 'I guess'…A good sign for one person to stand up for herself on what's to come. "(Those guys saved me, and now I must saved them…It's time to fight fire with fire. So Kero and I must try to save them before this Talpa person and the Warlord gang can get to the guys first. I won't allow it! I got to at least try!)"

For now, as Minako tells Ully and Mia some good news, White Blaze goes to search of any scent of one of the five Ronin Warriors to find out with Kero's help. Let's hope it'll turn out to be a good one to be found first.
