Epilogue

Kaira glanced sadly at the group in front of her. The Ronin Warriors stood in a line, facing her and the rest of the C-Ronins. She knew what she had to do, and she was the only one that can.

"Go on, Kaira, you know that it has to be done or else the timeline will be frayed," Kayura ordered her nudging her a bit with her Ancient staff.

Kaira glanced at her for a moment then back at her future mother and the others. She lifted up a black orb that shone a bit in the bright sunlight and the kanji of Bravery glowed a bit. "Okay," she whispered and walked in front of Kento who had volunteered first. "You sure you want to be first Kento?" Kaira asked him doubtful.

"Don't worry munchkin, I'll be glad that this nightmare is over," Kento said folding his arms across his chest and smiled a bit down on Kaira.

"I'll be only erasing the memories that you had of us and filling them in with a tie in to the blank spots," Kaira reminded him and placed her index fingers on each of the temple of Kento's head. She closed her eyes for a few moments then opened them again. She glanced at her future uncle and saw that his eyes were blank and stared into nothing.

"Wow, that's the second time I've seen Kento do that. The first time was when we took him to a buffet," Cye commented sarcastically and laughter ran around both groups.

Kaira glanced down then back up for a moment. She sighed and proceeded to mind-replace Sage. When he was done she did it for the rest of the Ronins with the exception of her future parents.

"Hey, don't worry Kaira, I'll see you in a few years," Rowen comforted her, ruffling her blue hair. Kaira could see hints of tears in his eyes as he looked down at her.

"Okay," she replied, sniffing a bit. She reached up and placed her index fingers on his temples and closed her eyes. After a few minutes she opened them again and saw a blank look on Rowen's face. She sniffed loudly then felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, Kaira, don't cry. Did I teach you not to cry when you feel sad?" Kareyn asked, smiling at her.

"Uh, yeah," Kaira said, grinning as her nose was turning red from her tears. She hiccuped a bit then chasten her self mentally for embarrassing herself in front of her teammates.

"All right, now get this over with, cause you've gotta get home!" Kareyn said in a mock angry voice.

"Yes, ma'am," Kaira replied and placed her fingers on Kareyn's temples. Before closing her eyes she looked deep into her future mother's eyes and saw a glimpse of the future in them. She smiled and closed her eyes. A few minutes later she opened them again and saw that Kareyn's eyes were blank. She stepped back and a pair of strong hands rested on her shoulders.

"It's okay Kaira, you had to do it," Sama told her as she leaned against his strong, lean form, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Let's go home," she whispered and grinned as Hiro whooped with joy.

Year: 2012

A portal appeared with a flash and six figures stepped through. The portal closed after the figures were through and one glanced at the sky.

"Looks like they aren't awake yet," Kayura noted as the sky was still dark, but the early light of dawn was peeking through.

"So what did my future dad give you?" Sayli asked Kaira who was fingering the black orb.

"I dunno…let's see," Kaira murmured then her eyes grew distanced as she remembered something Wildfire told her. She held out the orb and concentrated, "ARMOR OF THE ELEMENTS!"

Everyone shielded their eyes as a giant white flash occurred from the orb and when it died down, Kareyn of the Elements not looking a day older since she died around three years ago, standing in her black-white armor.

"Mom?" Kaira said her jaw dropping open. She stared at her like an alien and found that her muscles were frozen in place and she couldn't move.

"I knew you would do it," Kareyn said her voice had a slightly overlapping tone to it.

"Onyx?" Sama started as the overlapping voice disappeared and the spirit of the Guardian of Elements appeared besides Kareyn.

"Sayli? Kaira? What's going on," Mia's sleepy voice said from the doorway to the mansion and the C-Ronins parted to show Kareyn and the spirit Onyx Trent. "Oh, my god," Mia said in a hushed voice as she dropped her teacup on the porch of the mansion.

"Mia! Are you all right?" Ryo's concerned voice said from inside the house and five men and three women came out of the door. "What the…" Ryo started as he stopped dead in his tracks the other seven people crashing into him.

A slight wind blew by, ruffling Kareyn's long blue-black hair, making some strands fly into her face accenting her mysterious look. She grinned slightly behind her armor helmet, as Rowen looked shocked to see her.

"Uh, Kareyn?" Rowen started blinking his eyes a few times.

"Wait, she could be a Nether goon," Christine's voice said from within the group.

"No, that's Onyx with her, and I know for sure that if Onyx is here, than that is Kareyn," Sage said giving a grim smile to the spirit.

"My cousin," Sheia whispered as she saw the spirit of her cousin.

"Hi Rowen," Kareyn said shyly. She powered down to her sub-armor and hugged Rowen tightly. "I missed you," she whispered into his ear. She kissed him lightly on the lips and looked deep into his eyes.

"I missed you too, Kareyn of the Elements," Rowen said in a fierce whisper as they stared into each other, love shining in both their eyes.

"Aww, how cute," Hiro interjected loudly.

"Shut up!" Kaira said and whacked him in the head. She grinned with satisfaction as Hiro rubbed the part where she hit him.

"My work here is done, Ronin Warriors. I will be seeing you in the future," Kayura said and disappeared into a time portal.

Year: 1989

Kareyn waved a good-bye to seven people who were standing in a group as she boarded her flight back to the United States. She was going to miss them, especially Rowen.

"Call when you get home!" Kento yelled to her and Kareyn nodded.

"I will! Bye guys! Bye Rowen! Bye dad!" Kareyn called as she slowly disappeared into the tunnel that led to her plane. She was hesitant, but she had to go back because of her schooling.

"I will see them again," she promised herself as she walked into the plane and looked around for a seat that was close to the window. She remembered everything about the fight with Shadow Lord. Her future daughter's attempt at a mind-wipe didn't work on her. Ronin Warriors, I'll be back very soon, she thought to herself as the plane took off from Toyama, Japan.
