Ronin Warriors – Being of the Mystical Armors
By Tayla Drago
Chapter # 3 – Ryo, of the Wildfire
From Ryo, Kent, Cye, Rowen, and Sage get separated in different areas all by Talpa's doing so the Ronin Warriors wouldn't get in his way on world domination…Minako 'for she was a lucky member left standing' felt something from within Kero to turn his skin from pink into red as the color armor from Ryo's; for he might be very close by for White Blaze and the little dragon to try feeling him out only to find something big for one of the twin swords that he dropped against Anubis to get back and show it to Mia, Ully, and Minako to hopefully be useful for them to track down Ryo with it somehow. I sure hope so. I mean Talpa did use his powers to drop Ryo inside a volcano after all.
Minako tries looking for Mia and Ully to see them finding one of Ryo's swords for Kero to point out.
"Kero, did you see that?" she asks her friend dragon. "Ully! Mia! Are you two all right?!"
From them still standing while holding on to Ryo's weapon, they were fine. Like it protected them from the falling rubble of the building.
"We are, Minako." Mia said to her. "It would seem this sword saved both Ully and me. I think Ryo might be somewhere. Maybe we can find him and then find the others next."
Both Minako and Kero sense it out for it was true, for Ully and Mia see the little dragon was turning red suddenly.
"Is that Kero…?" he was confused but a bit surprised on what he was looking at. "He went from pink to red."
This was their chance to tell them like there was still hope for them. Just tell them, Minako.
"Right. This is what I wanted to talk about. Kero can turn into different colors to locate any of the Ronin Warriors in hiding, like one of Ryo's color from his armor and I can feel it out." she explains. "We might know where he is."
For Mia and Ully's reaction were like 'you do?' for White Blaze to return to them next. He grabs gently on to Mia's arm with his mouth to show them something.
"White Blaze, are you trying to tell us that Ryo's still alive?" she asks the tiger.
From the look on his face as a big yes to them.
"Come on then! I think he wants us to follow him. Kero, you lead us the way too." Minako said to her friend. "(Okay, this is cool. I can feel out the other guys to find and Kero can turn to different colors on who we need to rescue little by little. It seems I'm getting use to my powers so far. First up, is Ryo.)" And the search begins for those five! For Ryo awakens within the volcano 'he can't get burn since his armor can power him up with fire' as he starts climbing out while Talpa sends Anubis to destroy him for good. Looks like Ryo wakes up on his own, for he heard Minako say his head – wishful thinking maybe? Anubis and a bunch of Dynasty soldiers chase down Mia 'riding on top of White Blaze', Ully holding his tail while riding his skateboard, Kero flying from above, and Minako in her armor to be running really fast from her powers; for Mia and Minako both believe they will lead them to Ryo as Minako and Kero fights off the Dynasty army from behind them. "Incoming enemies!" Minako alerts the others. "Kero, distraction! I'll get the rest of them in between! White Blaze, just keep on running!"
For Minako gives it her all to attack by using her crystal at some to slow down, while Kero gets to their heads to hit on them; but they use their arrows to fire at them like crazy for Ully rides on top of White Blaze before he was hit.
"Mia!" cried out Ully.
"Hang on, Ully!" Mia said to him.
Using Ryo's sword won't off the arrows for long for Minako's powers to create a shield made of crystal won't withstand the hits for much longer…Soon they were saved by the Ancient One again who uses his staff to open a giant chasm, taking out the Dynasty soldiers, though Anubis emerges unharmed. The staff also restores power to the city and finding Mia's abandoned jeep working now, which was good. Kero loss sight of the Ancient One who just saved them twice now for Minako to feel the man out the second time he appeared for them.
"It was him again. He saved us…" Minako said to be thinking of something and sees the power was back on again all over town. "Wow, all of the power came back on. This is weird…"
Mia gets her car up and running again.
"My car works." she said. "Let's go find Ryo before something else bad happens."
"Then let's drive!" Minako was in. "Kero, White Blaze, and I will find Ryo while you two stay put. It's too dangerous to go up to the volcano anyways."
Minako does make a point for Ully was bummed out.
"Do we have to?"
"Minako's right, Ully." so says Mia. "Just trust in her. She and Ryo will be okay by working as a team. She'll get him for us and then the others next afterwards."
Kero made a noise to let Ully trust in them and Minako to smile and pat him on the head.
"You heard the grownups, Ully, stay inside of the car and trust me." Minako said. "(Besides…I have to do this for them…)"
Looks like this problem is solved. You know at times they can join in, but mostly be doing my version instead a little bit.
"Well…Okay. Be careful, Minako."
Minako, Kero White Blaze headed off once again to find Ryo; while both Mia and Ully waited for them. For Anubis was following them to go in his own path to stop Ryo first, not good…As Mia and Ully waited in the car, leaving Kero and White Blaze to climb up the mountain of the volcano first for Minako to use her crystal-like diamonds to give her the upper hand to climb.
As Ryo climbs out of the volcano, but is attacked by Anubis. Trying to hang in there, White Blaze, Kero, and Minako have arrived to help him out.
"Its Ryo!" she tells White Blaze to hand Ryo his other sword. "Do it!"
And so, he does for Ryo to get his weapon back to get ready to fight.
"White Blaze!"
White Blaze returns his missing sword, for Minako to be back up and Kero too.
"Welcome back, Ryo!"
He sees her and Kero as his back up in battle.
"Minako? Kero?" to Ryo's surprise. "What about Mia and Ully?"
"They're fine." she answers bak. "It was best for them to stay put while I came to aid you against Anubis for trying to hurt you again. We felt you out to finding you and it worked. I have powers myself!"
Now it was three in a half against one Warlord, but for Ryo could hand this battle on his own.
"Thank you, Minako. Just keep your guard up when needed."
She understood…Good planning there for those two.
"This ends here, Ronin!" Anubis said as he tries to attack them.
Ryo kept his guard up by using his two of his twin swords to be blocking the other attacks, but only for Anubis to be knocking him back into the volcano again. Minako tries saving him only to be too late to grab hold of his arm from falling back in.
"Ryo! No!"
However, Ryo's power is increased and he emerges as more than a match for Anubis, you know since he has the armor of Wildfire of the volcano to power him up made perfect sense. And for Kero and Minako to feel it out.
"What the-?!" shock Anubis. "Prepare to die!"
"No way!" Ryo said to be ready to fight back. "Minako, you and Kero watch my back. I can handle this one."
Now Ryo had the upper hand to beat Anubis now that his armor was all power up, more like fire up. From Anubis attacking Ryo with everything he has with him blocking a lot to be steaming on fire to not back down; with one touch from Ryo's hot twin katanas for Anubis's sword-like chain weapon breaks in two. Nice! Not even Anubis's Quake with Fear attack was back fire from Ryo's quick sword skills to push the chains right back at him.
"Wow…!" Minako finally gets it on how Ryo was winning. "(I get it now…Ryo's armor is the Wildfire, and he was in a volcano to give him the upper hand to win this battle. It must be so hot to even touch him while still wearing it. So much power…)"
Kero was cheering on Ryo all the way.
"Want more, Warlord?" Ryo taunts with his enemy.
Soon enough, Anubis finds out about it to try to make Ryo give up his powers; he goes up to Minako to try capturing her as his hostage as she tries fighting back with Kero's help.
"Not good…! Shard of-!"
But Anubis uses his chains to tie Minako up before she tried to make her escape a bit too late, for Kero tries head-butting him away to get hit from White Blaze from a powerful impact to go out cold.
"Little pests…Now you're mine, girl!" Anubis go after Minako.
"Oh, no! (I can't break free…)" Minako was trapped now. "Ryo!"
Ryo rushes to Minako's side by cutting Anubis down with his two burning swords.
"Minako! Get away!"
But he moves aside to grab hold of Minako by the mouth to keep her from unable to move from the chains binding her entire body.
"You want your princess back? Then I'll trade you hers for your life." said the Warlord.
No matter how hard Minako tries breaking free from Anubis's grasp of chains and covering her mouth was not good news on Ryo's end.
"Let…go…of…me!
As Ryo thinks for his new power up that he would win goes charging at Anubis 'and afraid to doing it again', only to get Minako burned from the power to stop in time.
"What's wrong, Wildfire? Come fight me!" now Anubis was mocking Ryo for this was part of his plan.
"Ryo-! Just stop this guy!" said Minako to be hearing her mumble a little. "My life's not important than you and the other four are…!"
Kero was trying to get up and say things while moving around to let Minako take back on what she just said.
"Don't you ever say that, Minako! Your life is important to keep on living! You are to me!" he said to turn his attentions back to Anubis. "Anubis, let her go or else…!"
"Very well, I'll bring her to you then." as Anubis walks up to Ryo while carrying Minako right at the edge of the volcano, what now?
"Let's fight!" Ryo said.
"Sure, but firs thing's first..." Anubis casts Minako into the volcano, this was bad for Ryo to jump in after her.
"Minako!" Ryo was force to get rid of his armor to rescue Minako then prevents him from re-summoning it to hurting her. "I got you!"
Grabbing her quickly to then jumping out of the volcano and back on the surface again without getting burned.
"Ryo…?" Minako gets up first. "Why? Why did you save me? Your armor."
"Hey, you're part of the team, right?" he said to be smiling. "We have to stick together."
Soon Ryo gets beaten up by Anubis as he pulls him with his chains only to push Minako out of danger.
"Ryo! No!" Minako saw through Anubis's dirty tricks. "(That slime! This was his plan all along!)"
From there, Anubis won't allow for Ryo to transform this time to beat him up a lot, and tosses him in the volcano again, to try killing him.
"Pitiful…" said Anubis. "You won't be withstanding the heat of the volcano…without your armor!" but Ryo manages to pull Anubis in with him.
"If I'm going, then I'm taking you with me, ugly."
Minako then goes in after them for Kero to become her wings while holding on to the back of her armor.
"Ryo! (I got to go in there, but, how can I? I can't survive in the heat of the volcano…)" she then sees Kero. "What? Kero? I got wings!"
Kero then pointed out for her to saving Ryo for White Blaze roars at them to go get the job done. As the two manage to get to safety in the volcano which starts to erupt.
"This is my stop!" Anubis said while making his escape.
Minako and Kero then make their move.
"Let's go, Kero!" she said to be flying down there at the enemy. "Shard of Crystal Cyclone!"
Anubis was caught in Minako's attack to be crystallize to try breaking free.
"What…? You!"
"It's time for some pay back!" said Minako.
The two fight it off from flying and on half solid ground with each other in a sword type of fight. Enough time for Ryo to call upon his armor again and destroys Anubis' weapons with Minako and Kero by his side.
"Mind if I join in?" Ryo cuts in on the action.
The two slash their way against the Warlord to take him down as a team. Soon the volcano erupts and knocks Anubis into the eruption as those two got out of there with Kero's help; leaving Mia, Ully, and White Blaze to see another victory from saving one of the five Ronin Warriors so far.
"Mia, look!" Ully said to be pointing out.
"They made it! Thank goodness…" said Mia with joy.
But somehow Anubis survives and is yelled at by Talpa for his failure, serves him right…As the other six look from afar of the volcano to know what they needed to do next for Ryo to speak to Minako alone and thanks her for helping him out, for Kero's energy kept her from getting burned from the volcano of her diamond armor 'which was really cool'. They did it together…For White Blaze and Kero let Ully and Mia have some alone time for a few minutes, they probably know already.
"Looks like we've won this battle, but the war has only begun." said Ryo. "Guess we need the other four to find and defeat the Dynasty."
"We will find them…" Minako agrees with Ryo to be feeling a bit upset. "What you did when you saved me was dumb! You could've gotten yourself killed!"
Ryo knew what she said for her life didn't mean anything, not to him though it did mean something.
"Why? Because Anubis had you held hostage which might've burned you up? You're only human after all."
"But you and the other five boys are most important saving the world and such, not me!" she argues.
He then sees the burn marks on Minako's arm her accidentally gave her when she was blocking Anubis's weapon to burn things up.
"That burn-!" Minako stops Ryo right there.
"It wasn't your fault. The only reason I'm saying this to you is because…I don't know who I am, who my family are, where I came from, why I have these powers, and such…All of it! It's driving me nuts!"
"But you have Kero, don't you think he's more important?" he asks her.
She then turns around to hear on what Ryo was saying to her.
"Well, yeah…he is." she answers back. "But I'm all alone to try finding out more about myself."
"You don't have to be anymore." said Ryo to reach his hand out to Minako's. "All the other guys and I have sworn to protect you. We did great in battle today as a team, we can do it again by finding the others and we need you. I need you. I'll help you find out about yourself if you just trust me."
With him saying in those kind words, looks like Ryo meant every word to aid Minako no matter what and who she was didn't bother him, White Blaze, Ully, and Mia one bit to liking her and Kero on who they are.
"Do you really mean it?" ask Minako.
"Don't think you're alone here, you have to live." he said to her. "I'm here for you, Minako."
Mia, Ully, Ryo, Minako, Kero, and White Blaze vow to find the remaining Ronin Warriors who they believe are still alive and Ryo accepts they and Minako by his side too all need to work as a team to defeat the Dynastys. Minako from there accepts it to get use to and not be afraid or alone anymore thanks to Ryo, Kero, and the other three by her side to keep on living.
"Well, why not?" Minako smiles. "Then let's go find the other four Ronin Warriors, Ryo."
This pleases the Ancient One who was watching from nearby. Looks like we haven't seen the last of him yet, to be showing up a lot more just by aiding them so much.
"Alright, then let's get going."
"Okay."
With those two shaking on it for Kero to be happy and White Blaze to be roaring with joy, both Ully and Mia will aid them too by finding the others - Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage next wherever those four might be. Will they find them before Talpa, the Dynasty army, and the four Warlords do first? So much to do as team work was the only key in to winning this battle once all of the Ronin Warriors are back together again, and they will be too soon enough.
