Anubis Reborn
Part 4-Search for the Starfire armor
By Aya
"Do any of your friends know what is going on?"
"Yes and No. See they know Zio killed my grandfather and all but they think he is after me because I witnessed him killing my grandfather, not because of this.", Aya reached in her pocket and removed a small circular orb similar to Ryo's orb. Aya continued, "You see it looks like the Ronin Warrior's orbs but watch this. ." Aya raised the orb above her head and directed the light through the orb, which reflected on the middle of her forehead. The symbol of honor appeared in place.
Mia was the first to speak, "You are....Starfire?!"
"Yeah..I guess...," Aya fell silent as she sat back down.
Ryo, knowing something was bothering Aya, went and sat next to her. Aya looked up into his eyes, and before she could contain herself she stared to cry on Ryo's shoulder. Ryo was stunned at first and then he remembered what she had gone through. [aw..mushy spot. :P] Aya then realized what she had done, stopped crying and looked up at Ryo. At this time she was severely blushing. Ryo as well was too.
Kento spoke up first, "So you two..whats up with that?"
Ryo and Aya both turned to Kento and said, "SHUT UP KENTO!!" Kento sat with a grin on his face and said nothing else. Aya sat with a pissed look of death on her face. This look made Kento sit and feel uneasy. The look on his face was replaced by a little bit of fear.
"Umm...lets get back on the subject.," Rowen said hoping he wouldn't be yelled at., "Aya how much do you know about this armor?"
Aya turned with a less anger look on her face as she answered., "I only know a little bit that my grandfather told me."
"Can you tell us?," Kayura questioned.
"Sure. You see he told me that the orb (crystal) has been in the Setarie family for generations. He also said this legend said that only one person can use the Starfire armor, the first bearer or a direct descendent. Then he said that I am the first women born to the clan since the first Aya. See my full name is Aya Jessie Setarie II. That would make me the direct descendent."
"Do you know what the first Aya looked like?," questioned Dais.
"No. There are no pictures or complete records of her."
"I know what she looks like."
"Anubis!," Kayura said with gladness.
"Anubis?! Okay Anubis what did she look like and how do you know?," Aya questioned.
"She looked like you and our once master showed us a picture of her. Actually it was a hologram."
"What do you mean that she looks like the first?," Kento questioned.
"He means you bubblehead, that we look exactly alike!," Aya said angrily.
"Oh...I see.," Kento quieted after that. [not to make Kento look stupid or any offense against him. k?]
"You see Aya, you were given the gift of Starfire. You were chosen because of you bloodline and your abilities. Have you had dreams about a time in what looked as though a past event?"
"Yes I have, but how di...."
"Let me finish. You have all your ancestors memories and abilities, same as the Ronins. They have their ancestors'."
"What was the armor created for?," Aya questioned. All the while she was thinking about why would she be chosen for this mystical armor. Why would her ancestors do this to her?
"It is here to protect life and create harmony, as the Ronins are. There are four armors that go with yours Aya. There is Starspirt, Starwater, Starearth, and Starair. They were created from the same elements as the Ronins. The person who created them were the sister of the ancient one from over a thousand years ago. She went by the name of Nalyn. Her real name was Aya. You see your ancestor Aya, created the armors so that they would protect the world but before she could use the Starfire armor or give the remaining armors to four other worthy warriors. See, it is believed that she disappeared into another realm leaving the Star Armors behind to go to five worthy humans. But before four of them were able to reach their new bearers Talpa was able to capture the armors. He wasn't able to successfully able to turn the armors evil until he was able to find four willing humans to do his biding. It wasn't until you started to have the dreams and the attacks that the armors were released. If Starfire is awakened that means that a greater evil than Talpa is approaching and that all must be ready. It includes all Ronins, Warlords, Mia and Yuli. And I will also play a part in this as well. The time hasn't come for me to be involved but sooner or later I will be able to help. "
"So you are saying that you will be able to help us defeat this incoming evil Anubis?," Kayura questioned.
"Someway or somehow I will be brought back to life and I will once again be able to help you all. The time is not right but when it comes one of you will know what to do. Aya, be careful because with this evil looking for you, you are not safe. Don't put too much trust in your friends you traveled with because they might not be as they seem. I must return to the Sprit Realm and try to see what I can find out. Farewell my friends and take care." After Anubis disappeared silence continued upon the room.
"If this new evil is after Aya, then someone might want to keep a close eye on her. I mean o she will have help just in case.," Sage stated.
All agreed and many offered but Aya refused them all., "I don't want to risk anymore of your lives for my own safety."
"You don't understand Aya, we would all feel reassured if someone was there with you.," Ryo said.
"Then who?!," Aya questioned, sending the question directly at Ryo. Everyone looked at Ryo. He knew that he should volunteer. "I guess that I will."
"Okay!," Aya said all too cheerfully. Mia sent a very upset look her way, which Aya ignored.
Later
"See you all tomorrow."
"See ya Ryo and Aya.," Mia said not very happily.
"Whats up with her?," Aya asked as they got into Ryo's red convertible.
"I don't know. Are you sure that it is okay that I stay there?," Ryo questioned to relieve some of the pressure.
"Yeah. I asked my uncle and he said that it is a good idea to have a friend there while he is out of town."
Aya's place
As they arrived at Aya's place, each had a weird feeling rush through them.
"Hey Ryo, you can stay in this room." "Where is your room Aya?"
"Across the hall. That one with the name "Nalyn" on it. I know that sounds weird and all but that what my grandfather used to call me all the time."
"Oh, okay."
"Hey are you hungry?"
"Yeah why?"
"How does pizza sound?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Okay lets get you settled in then I will go order some."
That night
"That was good."
"Uh...huh! At least we got our fill with out Kento or Jason eating it all.," Both Ryo and Aya started to laugh.
"Well we better get to bed, so we can get up...Who are you?," questioned Aya.

Part 5 - The New Dark Warlords
By Aya
"Zio! How did you find me here?," questioned Aya.
"I knew you were here ever since you moved here. You see you also know me as..."
"Shain.,"Ryo cut him off. "I knew you looked familiar."
"Yes, Wildfire, that is correct and since you are here, which is an extra bonus on our part, you will come along with Aya to meet your new Master."
"Really. How do you know if we will like him?," Aya stated sarcastically., "Who says we will meet him!" with that Ryo and Aya ran toward a group of soldiers and jump over them. They continued on toward safety.
"Don't just stand there Lagados and Lariness! Capture them, Alive."
After that Lagados and Lariness sent soldiers around to block all possible escape routes as they checked for the two. Mean while, Aya and Ryo had taken refuge in the library.
"Why Shain?! Of all the people. Why him. I would of never guessed him."
"It is not your fault Aya. Neither of knew that it was him until they arrived."
As they sound of metal appeared outside the door of the library.
Silence.........
"Well, well, well." Both Aya and Ryo turned around to face the bearer of the voice. "So this is wear you two went to. Oh, don't be leaving so soon. we have someone to visit. Lord Zio will be pleased with us.
Behind Ryo and Aya soldiers had gathered to capture the two.
"Grab them!," Lariness yelled.
Soldiers all around grabbed both Ryo and Aya. In a matter of minutes both were bound.
"Very good Lariness, Lagados. You will be awarded very well for this capture." He then turned to Ryo and forced him to write a letter to his friends. "Now Lagados take this and deliver it to the Ronins."
"Yes Sir!" With that Lagados then disappeared with note in hand.
Ronin Manor (night time)
As Rowen slept he soon felt the uneasy feeling that something was wrong. Something was not right. He sat up and servaid his room to see if anything was out of place. It was then that he noticed the golden colored paper lying on his bed. Before grabbing it, he resurveyed his room, and then grabbed the paper. Upon it, it said:
"Guys"
It was in Ryo's handwriting. Rowen leapt from his bed and ran toward the hallway. He then yelled loud enough hoping to wake everyone. As everyone heard him, they all exited their rooms and headed for the living room where Rowen was at.
"Ro, whatz the matta?," Kento questioned sleepily.
"I found this on my bed and it's in Ryo's handwriting!," Rowen stated holding the piece of paper up.
Mia grabbed it from Rowen's hand and read it aloud.
*Dear Guys, Mia, and Yuli, Aya and myself had been captured by Zio and his minions. We are not harmed in anyway. You need to go to the temple on the hill that is by Aya's. Be there tomorrow by 10 p.m.
Ryo*
"I guess we have no choice but to do what they want or they might harm them.," Sage stated. It was obvious that Sage had chosen himself to take Ryo's place in his absents. [for all you Sage fans. =-)]
All agreed signaling that they approved of Sage's standing.
"Ryo."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Getting you involved. I should of just gave them what they wanted."
"No, it is not your fault. No matter what we will help you."
"Thank-you."
"I hate to bread up the mushy part but it is time for you Wildfire and you Starfire to meet your new master."
Before having time to react both captives were taken down a long hallway to the throne room.
Throne Room
"Hold them there. Master we have brought Starfire and as an added bonus, Wildfire.," Zio stated as he bowed to his master.
From upon the darkness came a shape of peer and great darkness and evil. All of his minions saluted him with honor and respect. As the blackened figure came into view, Aya recognized him as Sujukona, the dark master of the Nether Realm.
{Ah, Starfire. It has been so long since we have last met.}
Ryo turned to Aya with confusion. She just turned her eyes to the floor and didn't look up.
{So Wildfire, you don't know. You see Starfire belongs to me and that she will always obey me.}
Aya growing angry turned to Sujukona and said, "It seems your stupid warlords forgot to say that the spell you HAD over me is broken, so and with that Starfire disappeared a few years ago. And that means that neither I nor Wildfire are any use to you so..."
{Oh Starfire, you will always be useful. You forget that I can bring back Starfire at anytime. And do you think I would believe that Starfire is gone. Oh no, I know you still have the armor.}
With the turn of events Aya tried to come up with an idea.
"If you let Wildfire go UNHARMED, then I will rejoin you.," She stuttered hoping it would save Ryo.
{Nice offer but I need you ALL. Take them back to their cell until it is time to change their minds.}
As they were led to their cell, Ryo kept his eyes off Aya. After their shackles were removed. Ryo walked to the other side of the cell and sat down. The door was closed and locked. All was quiet.
"Ryo"
Silence
"I am sorry."
"Sure."
"I was going to tell you."
"When?! In the battle, when you turn against us! What then."
"I have been running for these past few years hoping to get away from all this but.."
She fell silent turning her eyes away. Ryo chose to get up and hold her. For some reason he could understand what she meant. Both of their virtues shown brightly as they held each other. Tears ran down Aya's face as she went to say something but Ryo hushed her and raised her chin till their eyes met. They drew their faces together to kiss but were interrupted. Soldiers gathered around them to take them to the Spirit Room.
As Aya and Ryo were infused with the evil energy all Ronins felt it.
"I didn't like that feeling.," Kento point out.
"Something is wrong."
"I agree with you Kento but we won't know what's going on till later tonight."
"Cye's right but maybe we should leave earlier so we can get there before them.," Sage said and all agreed.
It was set that they would leave earlier.
"The process is complete my lord.," Zacross stated.
"Very good. Bring them forth."
"I sense a very disturbing evil.," Rowen pointed out.
"Hey all. It's 9:00 p.m. We better get going.," Sage said as he looked at the clock.
"Well here we are. Hey what time is it Ro?," questioned Cye.
"It's 9:59. Sorry it's 10:00."
As smoke appeared around them they saw what to be six figures. As upon from darkness they appeared all in uniforms of Gold, Silver, Purple, and of the darkest night, Black. Each with their own virtue and color.
First to appear was an armor of Gold with black stripes covering it. Ambission was its virtue. An armor of Silver came next. Upon it were purple stripes shaped as lightning. Triumphant was he. Of the darkest Purple shown. On it waves of silver stripes. Treachery was his virtue. From the shadows came an armor of darkness. A Black armor with gold stars upon it appeared. Infident was its virtue. After they all appeared, separating to make a path as two VERY familiar figures appeared.
