Ronin Warriors: Next Generation
Part 2
I do not own Ronin Warriors in any way shape or form.
Yuli groaned as he opened his eyes, "huh, wha-?"
"You okay, there, buddy?" Kento asked.
"I think so."
"I'm sorry, Yuli," Gail apologized, getting down her knees. "I didn't mean to shock you."
"Who are you?" Yuli demanded.
"You probably didn't catch what I said; I'm your sister, Gail."
"Sister?" Yuli gasped, "I didn't know I had a sister."
"I didn't know I had a brother."
"Are you my half sister?" Yuli asked.
"No, Yuli--twin sister," Gail corrected, "we're twins. We have the same parents."
"No way--if I had a sister--my parents would have told me!" he put his arm around Kento's shoulders and he lifted him up.
"It's true, Yuli!" Gail shouted, "we were seperated at birth!" Gail's eyes flashed anger, "man…I knew that Lady Kayura was lying!"
"Excuse me," Rowen said, "did you say, Lady Kayura?"
"Yes, yes I did." Gail said, "She knew my name and she told me I had to find my brother who has the armor of the hurricane and controls the wind and the other ronin warriors.."
"Wait a second," Yuli stood straight with his hand on his hip and his eyebrow twitched in thought, "you met Lady Kayura, right? And she's the one who told you about me?"
"Yeah."
"Is there anything else that happened besides what Lady Kayura told you?"
"Well, I found this," Gail opened her hand to reveal a crystal with her kanji on it. "I have no idea what it is. I thought it was a hailstone, but I never saw hailstones with Japanese characters on it."
"Did you find this in a hurricane?" Yuli asked.
Gail nodded.
"And did you see any armor that came with it?"
"No, but Lady Kayura said the armor was the armor of the Typhoon."
Yuli smiled, "Then you ARE my sister!" He gave her a surprisingly big hug.
Gail stiffened, "now do you believe me?"
"Yes," Yuli said, "I did research on my armor and I came across yours. The armor was made for a girl and it belonged to the sister of the wearer of the hurricane armor."
Ryo looked out the window, "hey, did you notice how bright the sun got just now?"
They all walked out of the resturant and shielded their eyes. Kento put his sunglasses on. "I never seen the sun so bright." Kento said.
****************************
Mia researched more about the armors and then noticed a glare on her screen. (AN: Just wanted to say that I'm sitting right next to a window and there's a glare on my screen too! Wow, could I be a ronin too?)
"What's that glare?" Mia asked, pulling her chair out and walking out into the balcony. Whiteblaze stood on his hind legs with his front legs up on the ledge and he was looking at the sun. Then he looked at Mia and purred lowly. "Whiteblaze, do you know what this means?"
Mia shielded her eyes as the sun shined brigher and brighter. It got very warm. She saw a crystal come from the sun and into her hands with a yellow kanji: generosity. She put the crystal in her back-pocket and the door opened.
"Hey Mia," Yuli shouted, "I want you to meet my sister!"
The sun quickly dimmed behind Mia and she stepped forward, "Hi, what's your name?"

(Note, this happens at the same time Gail is in the hurricane at America. Sorry, maybe I should have put this in part 1 instead.)
In Nagoya, close to Yuli's city, lived a boy named Akira. He was at home doing pushups and suddenly he felt the ground shake beneath him. His parents were at work. They owned a museum down the block. "It's an earthquake!" He slid underneath his kitchen table for shelter.. It was the biggest earthquake he's ever been in. Buildings collapsed everywhere. It lasted for ten minutes. Akira closed his eyes and held on tight to the legs of the table until it was over.
The table cracked and things fell from the walls. When he thought it would never be over, he pulled himself out and saw that everything was a mess. Pieces of the ceiling was on him and somehow he pushed through it like it was Jell-O. He looked around. Everyone was dead but he was alive.
"Hello?" Akira called out, walking down the streets. "Anyone alive?" Akira stopped, "I'm the only one who survived. Oh, no, Mom, Dad!" he quickly ran to the museum to find it in ruins. "Mom? Dad?" went inside calling their names. He found them dead underneath some bookcases. They were crushed and there was nothing Akira could do. Akira saw some light coming from a room. He went to it and found a secret passage.
"I didn't know we had this!!" It led underground. There were many murals of battles on the walls. He saw some old suits of armor as well. "Why didn't they tell me this? Wow, cool!"
He looked down to see a large crack in the ground. He knelt down for he saw something flickering. Whatever it was, came up to him. It was a small crystal with a gray kanji symbol: truth. Akira held it in his hand for a while and it came to one of the old armors and did a few spins around it. The rusty armor looked good as new.
"Oh, I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin!'"
And in the small city, Pompei Italy, where the volcano Mt. Vesuvius sleeps, no one knew it was about to erupt again. In 79 AD, it erupted and the eruption was so violent and huge that it buried the towns Pompei and Herculaneum. It was the first eruption ever to be described in detail and one of the worst eruptions known. Now the towns have been rebuilt to better suit the people but little did they know that the volcano was going to wake from what they thought was its eternal slumber.
A girl named Rose, with long dark green hair and black highlights and crimson red eyes, lived in Pompei. She loved nature and outdoors and always adored volcanoes but respected their power. During the time of the great typhoons and earthquakes in Japan and the hurricane in America, there started to be slight quakes near the volcano. Rose was reclining next to a tree and looked up at the volcano.
"Can Mt. Vesuvuis erupt again, after thousands of years?" she asked herself. She got up and walked up the steep volcano. Rose had very few memories of her past. Her parents were killed by someone in ancient, unusual armor. She was only three years old at the time. She couldn't even remember what happened. She didn't even know her name. People of a volcano research team found her in the forest and they took care of her ever since. They called her Rose because they found her holding a rose and since then, Rose always had a rose in her hair. The team told her almost there is to know about volcanoes since she was a little girl. They became her family She had asked if Vesuvuis was going to erupt but they laughed and said it was a dead and inactive volcano.
Rose felt slight rumbles underneath her feet. She got down on her hands on her knees and put her ear on the closed dome of the volcano. (AN: Have you ever seen Dante's Peak?) She could feel intense heat and hear the sound of liquid moving around, like water splashing at the sides of a bathtub.
"They were wrong," Rose muttered. "They were wrong." Rose always knew the volcano would erupt again but no one believed her. Rose ran down as fast she could to the cities. She stopped at every door and stopped to everyone in the street.
"Mt. Vesuvuis is going to erupt again!" she cried. "You must go back to your homes!"
"Nonsense," people grumbled, " that volcano has been dead for thousands of years."
Rose tightened her hands into fists, "darn you people, why don't you believe me!!?" she snarled, "I mean, look!" she pointed at the volcano. "Don't you see that smoke?"
The dome opened and there was another rumble. Smoke and ash erupted from the volcano, "see, now do you believe me?"
"Oh my gosh!" everyone ran amok around the neighborhood.
Rose found shelter in a cave past the city. She moved a rock out of the way and moved it back in the opening. She sat there until the eruption was over. It lasted a very long time. She could hear the blasts from the volcano and feel the heat of the lava at it passed the cave. When it was all over, she pushed the rock back and stepped out. The lava had cooled and there was ash all over the place.
"Hello?" she called out, looking for survivors, "anyone here?" Even her team had perished
Everyone in the town was dead and somehow another, Rose had survived. She walked back to the volcano because she saw a bright red light coming from it. A crystal came to her with the bright red kanji: nobility. (Thanks, I think nobility sounds better than beauty.)
"What a pretty crystal," she said, closing her hand over it. "I'll protect it with my life." It shined brighter and it came out of her hand and deep inside of the volcano. "I'm not going down there!" she cried. But as she stood there, the heat did not bother her. She came down closer and closer. It was just like she was basking in a sauna and it seemed to re-freshen and rejuvenate her rather than scorch her. She saw the lava boiling and something started to come out of the lava. It looked like a suit of armor.
"Oh, wow!"
*********************************
"So, tell me Yuli," Gail said, petting Whiteblaze, "where's Mom and Dad? I'd like to meet them. Won't they be surprised to see me!"
Yuli couldn't answer. He turned his head down.
"Yuli, what is it?" she gasped when Whiteblaze left her and went to Yuli.
Yuli put his hand on Whiteblaze's head, "our parents were killed, Gail."
"Killed?" she mumbled, "but how? Was there a burglary or something?"
"I wish it was that simple."
"Did the police ever find who did it?"
"No," Yuli groaned, "a year after Tulpa was destroyed, I was with our parents. We were at some kind of party. I can't really remember but then all of a sudden, this guy broke in and started killing everyone, for no reason. He didn't tell anyone to give him their money. Some people even tried giving their money to him, but he killed them anyway."
"What a jerk! I hope he gets arrested!" Gail snapped, "so he came in and started shooting---"
"He didn't have a gun."
"Well, what kinda guy was this?"
"He was a warlord," Yuli said, "but he was nothing like the warlords I've seen before. It wasn't Anubis or Dais or Kale or Sekmet. Anubis died and the others became good guys. But I know for a fact it was a warlord by the way he was dressed. He had blue armor and a very scary-looking weapon. He tore everyone apart."
"That's disgusting!" Gail covered her mouth.
"Yeah, I know. It was the scariest thing I've seen and trust me, I've seen a lot of stuff since I met the Ronin Warriors." Yuli sighed, "I'll never forget his face. He didn't laugh like the other warlords did. This guy was different. Every time we fought Tulpa and the old warlords, they laughed and called us names and stuff. This guy was very quiet. He didn't say anything. He just killed everyone."
"How did you make it?" Gail asked.
"He let me go," Yuli shrugged.
"He let you go?"
"But not without giving me this," Yuli took off his shirt to reveal many scratches on his arms and ribs. "Worst pain I ever felt in my life."
"That's just terrible!" Gail cried, turning around and banging her hand on the table. "it's not fair! Damn that Warlord! I swear, if I ever see him, I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget! He won't get away, not if Gail of the Typhoon has anything to say about it!"
Yuli smiled, "Now you sound like a Ronin Warrior!"
"It's not fair, Yuli," Gail's eyes filled with tears, "I never got to meet our parents. They never got to meet me. I spent my whole life living with someone I thought was my father. The day after I met Kauyra, this man told me he found me in Japan. He said that I was all alone. I don't think our parents even knew about me. So this man took me to America with him. He didn't want me to be all alone. I come here thinking I'll find my real parents and then I find out that they were killed in cold blood, for no reason at all!" She slammed her hand on the table again, "Dammit, Yuli, it's not fair! It's just not fair! I never got to meet our parents! Don't you have any idea that feels? To hear that your parents were dead and you'll never see them again?" she turned around, her face red with rage. Her cheeks tearstained.
"Yes, I do." Yuli said, wiping away his tears. He put his hand on Gail's shoulder, "but I'm safe here with the Ronin Warriors and you are too, Gail. We've got each other, okay?"
Gail nodded, "okay." She wiped away the rest of her tears.
"Hey, I just thought of something." He took his sister's hand and led her to a greenhouse. "Our mom liked flowers and plants. When they were captured by Tulpa I watered them for her. Then after they were killed I took all the plants and put them in this greenhouse, so I can remember Mom and Dad."
"This is so sweet, Yuli." Gail walked to a plant and cradled a leaf in her hand. It was dying and as soon as she touched it, it perked up like she just gave it water.
"How did you do that?" Yuli asked in astonishment.
"I dunno." (She controls the rain, hello!)
"Hey, Yuli, you've got to come see this!" Sai shouted, running into the greenhouse, "there's been an earthquake where your cousin lives!"
"Oh my gosh--Akira!" Yuli ran past Sai and into the house.
"Akira?" Gail followed him. "Hey, who's Akira?"
"He's our cousin!"
"Cousin?"
"I'm live now with the only survivor, Akira." The reporter on the TV announced, "So tell me, Akira, how did you survive?"
"I don't know…," Akira replied, "I just stayed underneath my table until the earthquake was over. When I came out, everyone was dead."
"Have you ever been in an earthquake before?"
"Not like this."
"Is there any place you could go?" the reporter asked.
Akira sighed, "No."
"I'm very sorry, Akira." He stopped interviewing Akira and looked up at the cameraman, "strange, isn't it? Just last night we received news of a typhoon south of here and a hurricane in America and a volcanic eruption in Italy. Where is the world coming to?"
The next screen of the report went to the interview with Rose. Yuli took in a deep breath when he saw her, "she's so beautiful!"
"Oh, brother," Gail mumbled.
"Rose, would you please tell me what happened?" the reporter asked.
"I was just relaxing in the forest and I felt a little shaking. The volcano was going to erupt soon. I tried to warn everyone, but they wouldn't listen. I found shelter in a cave and when I came out, everyone was gone."
"What will you do now, Rose?"
"I'm not sure."
The next part of the report talked about the hurricane in America. "This girl here stood underneath the volcano at the beach where the hurricane was most strong." A picture of Gail came up on the screen. Gail moaned and put her hand on her forehead.
"I'm live now with some of her friends," the reporter said, "so tell us about this girl."
"Gail's nuts!" Stella cried. "I told her it was suicide to go to the beach, but did she listen to me? Nooo!"
"Yeah," Paula added, "one night, she camped outside in the middle of a thunderstorm! The girl's crazy!"
"Paula, Stella!" Gail muttered.
"Ooh, you're adventurous one, aren't you, Gail?" Kento teased. He poked Sai in the ribs. "You can use a bit of advture, Sai, you British brat you!"
"Kento…" Sai muttered.
"But she'll do anything for you," Stella said, putting in some good words for Gail.
"That's right. She's always there for a friend. Nothing can stop her, I mean nothing!" Paula put in, "Come on, how many girls will stand out in the middle of a hurricane?"
"Yeah, through snow, sleet or ice, she'll be there!"
"Okay, that's nice, but we're running out of---" the reporter tried to say.
"Gail, you're DA bomb!"
"Yeah, you go girl!"
After a few more minutes of Paula and Stella praising Gail, the report went to the story of the typhoon.
"This young man was found at the harbor, I'm not sure why his pet is a giant white tiger though."
Both Yuli and Whiteblaze growled underneath their breath. "Please turn that off," Yuli said.
"Yes, let's talk about these new armors." Rowen said, turning it off, "how many are there?"
"According to my calculations," Mia said (how many times do you hear that on a TV series or movie?), "12 in all."
"Twelve!" Kento gasped, "twelve armors! Imagine how strong Tulpa would be with twelve new armors!"
"Twelve, huh?" Sage said. "So, we've got, 2 of the twelve armors in our hands?"
"Um, three, Sage," Mia said.
"Three?" everyone muttered.
Mia hesitated and reached into her pocket to pull out the crystal with her kanji on it.
"Mia, where did you get that?" Yuli asked.
"Have you noticed the sun today?"
"Yes, it was very bright." Yuli said, "I've never seen it so bright."
"This crystal came out of the sun and into my hands."
"Well, I guess we just have 9 more to find." Gail said.
"Yeah, and I think I know where to find two of them," Yuli said.
"How?" Gail asked.
Yuli stood up and pointed to the TV. "We find those people. One of the armors is called the armor of the earthquake and another is called the armor of the volcano. I wouldn't doubt if the armor of the earthquake belongs to Akira and the volcano armor belongs to this Rose girl. It's worth a try, don't you think?"
"Alright," Ryo said, "let's go!" they got up and left the house. They were only down town for a few moments and then they were jumped by the snow children and the warlords.
"I guess we just found six new armors!" Kento cried.
"Warriors, to arms!" Ryo shouted.
"Armor of Wildfire, Tao Jin!"
"Armor of Torrent, Tao Shin!"
"Armor of Hardrock, Tao Gi!"
"Armor of Halo, Tao Chi!"
"Armor of Strato, Tao Inochi!"
They all powered to their sub armor levels and then to their full armors.
Gail gasped, "whoa…"
"Gail, I'd like you to meet the Ronin Warriors!" Yuli said. He laughed and then his crystal started glowing. He looked up and noticed one of the warlords looked very familiar. "Oh no, it's him!"
"What?" Gail muttered.
"Him, he killed our parents!" he pointed at Sebek, Warlord or Carnage.
"I'm sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves," Amarantha said. "I am Amarantha of the Avalanche."
"And I am Laban of the Blizzard. We are the snow twins."
"I am Calisto, Warlord of Death!"
"I am Boris, Warlord of Revenge!"
"I am Selket, Warlord of Pain!"
"I am Sebek, Warlord of Carnage!"
"You, you killed our parents!" Gail shouted, pointing at Sebek. "I, Gail of the typhoon, won't let you get away with it!"
"Remember me, Sebek?"
Sebek cocked his head. "You, you are that boy, aren't you? My, I should have cut you a little deeper." He started swinging his weapon around, "Jaws of damnation!"
"Armor of Hurricane, Tao Fin!"
"Armor of Typhoon, Tao Coni!" (I'm making these power up shouts on my own, if you haven't noticed.)
Light blue and white sub armor covered Yuli's body. Then his arm plates and shin guards appeared. His breastplate came on his chest and he put his helmet on. It was a little different than the armor of Wildfire.
A purple silk and cottony body-type suit covered Gail. (You know, that light blue greenish thing Lady Kauyra wears with her armor.) Then a teal breastplate and teal armor with a band across her head. She had a long sword that went with her armor.
Sebek's jaws of damnation attack almost grabbed Yuli in a very uncomfortable hold, but as soon as his armor appeared, it stopped the jaws from scratching him.
"I'm Yuli of the Hurricane."
"I'm Gail of the Typhoon and we are…"
"The Storm Twins!"
To be Continued…(Sorry if it's a bit corny)
