Chapter 12
Dais held onto the fire cat for dear life as it stormed through the halls of the castle. He had absolutely no idea where it was taking him or why, all he knew was that he was going to fall off if this thing didn't slow down.
Thankfully,
it did.
The
fire cat halted right outside a set of cells and he slid off its back grateful
to be on solid ground again.
"Why
did you bring me here?" He asked the cat not expecting an answer.
It
motioned with its flaming head towards the door closest to Dais. He walked up to the metal door and inspected
the iron lock hanging from it. Dais
frowned, how was he supposed to get this open?
The
fire cat observed this and butted him out of the way, it nosed the lock and it
melted from the door into a steaming pile at the former warlords feet. Dais undid the latch and stepped into the
dark prison to find Kayura, Sekhmet, and Cale. They leapt up as they noticed who entered.
"Dais,
how did you get in here?"
He
looked back and searched for the fire cat to answer.
But
it was gone.

Fear
took over in Cye when he saw the creature come flying toward him. His mind was screaming at him to run, and
so, indeed, were his friends. But he
somehow knew that it would not help, reality stung clear as he realized there
was only one thing he could do.
In
a heartbeat, Cye raised the orb above and sent it hurtling to the ground where
it shattered. The beast cried out and
shied away as the light from the blast burned its eyes. A pale blue light reached up from its
remains to envelope Cye completely; when it cleared Cye stood there in his full
armor.
"Make
the Inferno now, Ryo!" Rowen yelled.
In
a spectacular lights show, the four Ronins all gave up their powers to Ryo as
he called the Inferno armor.
There
was no way they could lose with the Inferno.
"Rage
Of Inferno!"
The
force of the blast totally obliterated the mismatched beasts.
"Quite
a trick," Fukai said smugly, clapping a little. "But I have a better one."
"What
is it this time? More of your pawns from
the Nether Realm?" Kento asked.
"Oh
no, they couldn't possibly do what I'm planning. You see I shall finish what master Talpa never could, defeat the
Ronin Warriors and take care of this foolish little planet."
Fukai
took a step back and produced a small armor orb from a pocket.
"Armor
of Vendetta! Dao Shi!" He called, leaping into the air and allowing a dull
bronze and black armor to surround him.
When
the armor was called the Ronins could immediately sense a change in the
atmosphere, none could put a finger on exactly what but something had changed.
Ryo
was still worn out from his last attack, but as soon as he could began
gathering energy for the next onslaught. Fukai was much quicker, though.
"Lucifer's
Wrath!"
Purple
energy lanced from Fukai to hit Ryo, knocking him back. All the other guys gasped at the power.
Ryo
pulled himself to his knees but was again to late as Fukai took his scythe to
Ryo throat, ready to slit it. He could
feel the cold metal pressed against his neck and the unmistakable feeling of
blood running down the side. Ryo
swallowed hard.
"So
this is how the Ronin Warriors die?" Fukai menaced, glancing at the other
Ronins. "One step and your short a member."
The
earth beneath them gave a terrible moan and fire exploded all around them. The heat seared their skins and Fukai cried
out. Ryo could barely make out his
silhouette against the wall of flame.
The
volcano was erupting and they were all going to die.
