Prologue
The wind around him told him that something was going to happen; it told
him that something unwanted would invade his life and the Earth once more.
But the armors have been laid to rest over a year and a half ago haven't
they?
Ryo Sanada stood on a cliff over looking the lake that surrounded the Kogie
Manor for the last time. He and the other Ronins were moving to an
apartment in Toyama to finish schooling and too keep a look out for a new
enemy. The dream from the Ancient still rang clear in his young mind.
"Wildfire. Listen to me well. What I am about to show you will bring you
grief in the future." The Ancient stood in front of his sub-armored form.
All he could do was nod. "This will give a clue to find new allies that
will help you in the next war with the Dynasty. Learn their powers well and
trust them."
"But who are they Ancient?" He asked as the scene in front of him began to
change."
"Ten will come in the power of the Moon, two armors will be hidden in these
ten and then another cloaked in a forgotten past. But the first to come
will arrive from the not to distant past." The Ancient fully disappeared
and Ryo then found himself walking out of a palace garden.
"Please! Don't leave!" A female voice called to him. As he turned a girl
about his age latched her arms around his waist. "Please don't go. If you
do I'll never see you again Ryo."
"But I must. Prince Endymon has ordered that myself and the others fight at
the front while you stay back here and protect the palace my love." He
whispered as he held the shaking, tear-jerked girl close before kissing
her.
As their lips joined everything became engulfed in flames of black. Attacks
of different elements flew at an enemy stronger than Talpa, so it seemed.
But they all were in vain. As the shadow counter attacked, female voices
called out the powers of similar element attacks.
All he could remember before blacking out was the china doll face of a
raven-haired girl, looking at him while she cradled him and repeatedly
called his name.
As Ryo walked down to the house, the picture of the girl flashed through
his mind over and over. There was something about her that he couldn't
place his finger on. But the next few months would hopefully solve these
mysteries.
With a few good byes to Mia, he and the others headed for their new home.
"Looks like the moving people were here." Sage commented as they pulled up
to the house and saw that the lights were on. By now it was twilight.
"Probably." Cye agreed as they all filed out of either Rowen's Jeep or
Sage's Mustang. When Ryo went to open the door, someone that they thought
they would never see again was waiting for them.
"Long time no see Wildfire." Anubis said with a wide smile on his face.
Cye, who was behind Ryo, almost fainted, Rowen and Sage were ready to do so
as well, Kento had turned a ghost white and Ryo just stared in shock until
Cye almost knocked him down.
"How in the?" Kento asked.
"Remember what your dream of the Ancient of the new war and allies told
you? But the first to come will arrive from the not too distant past."
Anubis said it all as if he had had the same dream.
"He meant you! He revived you!" Sage and Rowen yelled together, eyes wide
with shock.
"Calm down would you? Yes he did. Now come on. We got work to do before
school next week." To Ryo, Anubis seemed like a normal person instead of a
former warlord. He seemed to be like himself and the others at a first
glance; he looked and sounded like a normal teenager. But the Ancient was
telling him that everything would be okay with Anubis. He was officially
one of them.
Yet that didn't mean that this was the end of their quest.this is merely
the beginning.
