A/N: Hi! This isn't a long chapter, but it opens up more of the plot of this story than the first chapter. Ha! That chapter just got the ronins beat up and caught. This answers more questions. *Crosses fingers* I hope people like where I'm going with this.

Deep within a realm of darkness, where trouble lurked around every corner. A realm that once brought evil to the Earth and almost conquered it. Twice! This was the realm of the Dynasty, the Netherlands, where once a evil, dark being by the name of Tulpa had ruled with evil and cruelty.

Now this realm wasn't evil, but it wasn't good either. It stood on the borderline, depending on who you ran into. The new rulers of this realm were previously servants of the evil being Tulpa. Thanks to the help of the Ronin Warriors in the defeat of Tulpa they were set free from his control and set out to live in the best peace they could. They are called the Warlords.

"So...?" Sekhmet muttered after they watched the ronins in their final battle. "That didn't turn out to well for them."

"No," Kayura agreed, shaking her head slowly, "no it didn't turn out well at all."

Dais lowered himself into view from his position on the ceiling, upside down and arms folded over his chest. His exposed eye was filled with both interest at the situation before him, but also deep thought.

"Who thinks they'll be able to pull this off?" Sekhmet asked.

"Shut-up, Sekhmet!" Kayura scowled. "This isn't a laughing matter."

Sekhmet's eyes widen and he pointed to himself with questioning gesture. "Who's laughing?" he questioned. "I'm not laughing." he then cracked his sadistic smirk. "Yet that is."

"You know," Dais said finally, "that if Maximillion gets control of the Earth realm he'll come for our realm next."

"Yes, we are aware of that Dais." Cale spoke. He had snuck up on the other three from one of the darkest corners of the throne room and was dressed in his under armor.

"Why," Sekhmet started, giving Cale a look of both question in what he was wearing and question in what he was planning to do, "are you in your sub-armor?"

"I was under the impression that we were going to kill this son of a bitch and along the way maybe save the ronin boys." Cale sneered in response. "Like Dais said: When Maximillion is done with the Earth realm he'll come and try and get this one."

"That's a promise he made when we clashed in battle with him." Dais noted.

"Why can't we wait for that to happen and kill him here?" Sekhmet asked.

"Why are we wasting our time arguing!?" Kayura snapped. "The ronin warriors set us free, its time we return the favor and do the same." she summoned her sub-armor and then her main armor of Cruelty.

Cale followed her soon after and Dais rose back upward into the dark hidden ceiling and when came back down he was too in his armor. Kayura nodded in satisfaction and then turned to Sekhmet.

"What are you waiting for, Sekhmet? Christmas in July?" She growled.

"Not exactly." Sekhmet replied. He soon summoned his armor and the four warlords vanished from site.

Maximillion clapped like a happy little boy as he marched in front of his five new prisoners.

"Oh, how does it feel to lose?" he spoke jollity.

Ryo, now back in his wildfire armor, pulled at his chain only to receive a shock of electricity filling his body. After screaming in agony, he stopped and started taking deep breaths before he spoke, this time not moving a muscle. "This..isn't...over."

"Oh but it is. You five are K.O.ed and I'll soon have the Earth realm and no one can stop me. How did Tulpa fail where I succeeded?" he waved, in a friendly way, at the ronins and walked out the room. "Don't hang around all day." he laughed at his stupid joke and the doors to the dudgeon slammed shut and locked.

"What are we going to do?" Kento asked.

Cye shook his head cautiously, so not the alarm the trap set for if they made any sudden movements. "I don't know. We have to figure something out."

"We'll have to wait till some of our energy comes back and then escape." Rowen noted. "Till then, let's figure out a way to get out of these chains without getting ourselves killed."

The other four nodded in agreement to the plan and began to discuss what they were going to do.

A/N: So do you like where I'm going with this? Its going to be a WARLORD story. Or mostly a warlord story with a little ronin on the side.
