Chapter 1: A New Evil Arises
by: Lady Korin
Deep in a dark lifeless realm, far beyond the
reach of Earth, the master of evil, DoomSlayer, calls forth his Dark Warlords.
A cold wind begins to blow through his throne room and four figures appear.
The first is in black and gray sub-armor, his head bowed. The second figure
is in red and black sub-armor, his head is also bowed. The third
figure is in dark gray and white sub-armor and fourth figure that is standing
next him is in sky blue and white sub-armor. Their heads are also bowed.
"Dark Star."
The warlords all look up at their master and
the first figure speaks,"Yes, master?"
"I'm sure you are aware of the Dynasty's defeat."
"Of course. Talpa underestimated the Ronin
Warriors and his ability to keep the Warlords from turning against him."
"Yes. As you know Talpa wanted the power of
the armors not just to take over the mortal realm, but to try and defeat
me, master of all evil. He failed. Now I plan to finish what he started,
by capturing the armors of the Ronins and Warlords. Then that world will
be defeated once and for all."
The second figure spoke up,"What do you wish
of us, master?"
"Ah, Fire Strike, I would like you four to
go to Earth and capture the Ronins and Warlords and bring them back here."
The third figure spoke up saying,"Of course,
master. It will be done."
"Timber Wolf, it will not be the easy."
Before Timber Wolf could respond Black Hawk
said,"Why do you say that my master?"
"Have you forgotten about the Lady Ronin?"
"Lady Ronin?"
"Yes, Black Hawk. The Lady Ronin is Tanya
of the Typhoon. She got the armor from Mardrena, who was the first Lady
Ronin. She is very powerful and can't be taken lightly."
"We will defeat her!"
"Dark Star, it is not truly her that I am
cautioning you about. It is the other Lady Ronins."
"There is more than one! I thought there was
only one Lady Ronin."
"No my dark warlords. There are five Lady
Ronins, but only one has been discovered so far. None of the Ronins or
Warlords know about the other Lady Ronins. The only person that might know
is Lady Kayura, one of the last Ancients."
"Tanya of the Typhoon doesn't know about the
other Lady Ronins?"
"No, Mardrena didn't even know about the others.
During the first Dynasty war, Mardrena and the Ronins fought against the
Warlords and Talpa. Since Talpa was defeated the other Lady Ronins were
not awakened. They were left to lead normal lives. As time went on, just
like the armors of the Ronins, the Lady Ronins' armors went in search of
new bearers. Not much is actually known about the armors or their bearers.
The leader of the Lady Ronins is the bearer of the armor of Lightning.
She is the most powerful of the five Lady Ronins. It is said that the bearer
of that armor will have the Sword of Light and the Crystal of the Stars."
"Is that all that is known about those armors,
master DoomSlayer?"
"That is all that has been said about those
armors thorough out the ages."
"Now my Dark Warlords, I want you to go to
Earth and capture the Ronin Warriors and the Warlords. Also capture the
Lady Ronin as well."
"Yes, master.", the warlords responded.
As the warlords went to disappear, DoomSlayer
spoke again.
"Dark Star, I have a powerful weapon for you
to use against the Ronins."
DoomSlayer held up his hand and concentrated
on the dark energy of the Empire. Black lighting crackled above his hand
and began to take the shape of a sword. The sword appeared and it floated
over to Dark Star. Dark Star reached out and took a hold of the sword.
It had a black handle and four stones set into the hilt. The stones were
dark red, dark gray, yellow and dark blue.
"Master, this sword is amazing!"
"Yes, Dark Star. It is one of the most powerful
items of the Dark Empire."
"Why do you give it to me?"
"I want you to show the Ronins the true power
of the Dynasty and the Dark Empire combined."
"Yes, master DoomSlayer."
"Now go my dark warlords."
The warlords disappeared and DoomSlayer looked
about his throne room.
"Yes, Ronins you will not be able to defeat
the Dark Empire, even with the help of the Lady Ronin. Talpa was nothing
compared to what you are about to face. You will never find the other Lady
Ronins in time to stop my Empire."
Back on Earth the Ronins were relaxing in Mia's
living room. Rowen was reading a book next to the window while Sage and
Ryo were watching TV. When all of sudden a loud crash from the kitchen
resounded thorough out the house.
"Kento, get out of the kitchen now!"
"But Cye, I'm hungry."
"I don't care Kento. You're always hungry!"
"But Cye."
"GET OUT NOW!"
The kitchen door suddenly opened and a very
hungry Kento came out followed by a very pissed off looking Cye.
"Now stay out. You will survive until dinner."
Cye then went back into the kitchen, while
Kento was left to brood about not being able to sneak a bite. The others
started laughing.
"Kento, you're not going to waste away into
nothing." Rowen said.
Kento was about to come back with a retort
when a voice from the top of the stairs said,"Trying to sneak dinner again
chubby?"
Kento looked up at Tanya and said,"I am not
chubby!"
"Then what would you consider yourself, fatso."
Kento and Tanya began to argue back and forth.
The others just ignored them. It was normal for them to fight. The fight
were just starting to get physical, when there was an explosion right outside
the house. All the Ronins and Tanya went running outside, putting on their
sub-armor on the way out. Outside the house stood four figures in armor.
"Who are you?", yelled Ryo.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Ronin Warriors.",
said the figure in black and gray armor.
"Yeah, What the f*** do you want?"
"You must be Tanya of the Typhoon."
"Why do you care?"
"My name is Dark Star.", said the figure in
black and gray armor.
The one next to Dark Star in the red and black
armor introduced himself as Fire Strike. The one in the sky blue and white
armor introduced himself as Black Hawk and the last warlord introduced
himself as Timber Wolf.
"What do you want?", Ryo asked.
"We just want you and your armor."
"What makes you think that you will get it?
We'll defeat you like we defeated Talpa."
"Talpa was weak. You'll never defeat our master.
You won't live long if you take us on."
"We'll see about that.", Kento replied.
"Ronin Warriors To Arms!!", yelled Ryo.
"Armor of Torrent!"
"Armor of Hardrock!"
"Armor of Halo!"
"Armor of Strata!"
"Armor of the Typhoon!"
"Armor of Wildfire. Dao Chi!"
The Ronins finished putting on their armor
and then the dark warlords attacked them. The Ronins were fighting hard,
but the warlords were too strong. Dark Star was about to finish off Ryo,
when WhiteBlaze came out of nowhere and knocked the stunned warlord off
his feet.
"Alright, WhiteBlaze. You showed up just in
time. You're going down, Dark Star. Flare Up Now!"
Ryo called on his surekill and hit where the
warlord was standing.
"What!"
As the smoke had cleared Dark Star was still
standing there without a scratch.
"Man he's tough."
"My turn little Ronin."
Dark Star held up his sword and said,"Dark
Lightning Surround."
Black lightning shot out and hit all the Ronins
except Tanya. She just managed to get out of the way. She looked the other
Ronins who were trying to get up after that blast.
"You're going to pay for that!"
She brought her swords together and yelled
out,"Typhoon Blast!"
1000 mile per hour winds came out of nowhere
a slammed into Dark Star. He was thrown back aways.
"Go Tanya!" said Yuli who was watching from
the house.
To the Ronins amazement the warlord got up
and joined the other three warlords.
"Now it's time to finish this battle."
Dark Star went to power up his attack again,
when out of nowhere a staff came flying down infront of him, emitting a
bright golden light.
"NO! It's the Ancient's staff."
The Dark Warlords looked up to see Lady Kayura
and the warlords standing beside the house.
"Well look who showed up.", said Fire Strike.
"What do you want Dark Star?", Anubis asked.
"So you do remember me."
"How could I forget. What do you want?"
"All I want is you and your armor."
"You'll never get it."
"We'll be going now, but don't worry Ronins
this battle isn't over."
With that said the Dark Warlords disappeared.
"Ronins are you alright?", asked Lady Kayura.
"We're fine, Kayura.", replied Sage.
"What about you Anubis? How do you know him?",
asked Rowen.
"He was with Talpa during the first Dynasty
War. Needless to say Dark Star and Fire Strike didn't get along with the
rest of us."
"Man he is tough. He's going to be hard to
defeat.", said Cye.
"Ronins you will not be able to defeat him
without help.", said Lady Kayura.
"What do you mean!?", asked Kento.
"Help from who?", asked Rowen.
"It's time I told you about the Legend of
the Lady Ronins."
"Lady Ronins!? I thought I was the only Lady
Ronin."
"No Tanya. There are five Lady Ronins and
you will need to find the other four in order to defeat this new evil."
The Ronins looked at each other and realized
that they had to go to war again to fight for the mortal realm.
What do ya think so far?
