Disclaimer: Ok I don't own anything Ronin Warriors, just borrowing them for a little while. I will return them as I had found them I promice. The only people who belong to me are The Ronin's children and Lair's armor. So please, don't sue. I'm sorry this took so long, but after exams all hell broke loose and I had no time to write or I couldn't figure out what to right. Well at least I was quicker with this chapter than with the last. I hope you enjoy and no Alithiel did not write ANY of the chapter.

Blood Ties Ch. 6



A fist pounding on a table. A sound indicating glass shattered as it hit the floor, and a curse. All these sounds interrupted the quietness of the Dynasty Castle, and made every guard stiffen. Their fear showing in their eyes, telling you that their emperor can become violent when angry. But now nothing can be heard as the silence once again took over. The guards relaxed one by one. One even dared to look into the room where his emperor was. He saw indeed his master was angry and the guard knew why. Emperor Dylan has been defeated! By a female mortal no less. But the guard was confused, how can a female mortal with a armor that pales to the complexion of the Armor of Inferno, beat Emperor Dylan?

That question also was running through Dylan's mind. He was beaten! And beaten up pretty badly. Luckily his body could heal itself to some extent. He had defeated the Ronin Warriors and the Daughter of Wildfire, but he couldn't see why this female weakling with that light. Light! Of course the Daughter of Strata has the power of light. Light was one of his weaknesses.

Now the other four. They will not be a problem. They have their father's armor. He defeated them before, he defeat them again. But something else came to mind. The last Ronin Warriors disappeared into bright shinning light instead of leaving their bodies behind like a normal person would do if they died. He did not like this at all. Was it possible that they sealed themselves inside the armor or was something else at work here? The idea of them sealing themselves into their own armor was ludicrous, so something else was at work. And if that is the case than the Children of the Ronin Warriors will be stronger. If only killing their fathers made them disappear also. That's it! A light bulb just went out inside Dylan's head.

"Jaken!"

The guard at the door jumped to attention "Yes, milord?"

"Tell my mage to get ready. We are going to do a little time traveling."

The guard saluted and hurried down the hall.

"Yes! This plan is perfect." His laughter echoed through out the palace. The guards relaxed even more. Their Emperor was now in a good mood.







"I GOT IT!!!!!"

The yell was made by a young woman with brownish black hair and tiger blue eyes. This same girl was playing football with five guys and holding out. The yell also interrupted Mia from her work. She looked out the window to see Delphyne catch the football and was at the moment running like hell to the point where the goal line was. Three boys on the opposite team were chasing her down: Ryo, Sage, and Rowen. Kento and Cye were trying to block the other three. Finally Rowen put on a burst of speed and tackled Delphyne to the ground.

Mia laughed, Rowen had a taken a liking to the girl. Not like the others, who see her as a sister, but as something more. You can see it in his eyes, but Delphyne, it seems, has someone else on her mind. Poor Rowen. He'll be heart broken when he finds out. Speaking of which, Delphyne confuses her. She has all of her memory, but yet Delphyne she doesn't know where her home is. When they asked her about it she got all flustered and changed the subject. No one has approached the subject since.

There was also something else that puzzled Mia. The way Delphyne acted sometimes, she would act exactly like Ryo and then other times, the guys had said, that Delphyne would act just like her. Plus Delphyne has the exact same eyes as Ryo. The exact same color and everything. Her hair was a mixer of black and brown and one time Cye had told her that he was looking straight at Delphyne and swore he thought it was her. She sighed. Delphyne was a strange one. She talked to the guys like she knew them her whole life. But it was Ryo she was different with. She barely went near him, let alone talk to him. Oh she talked to him sometimes, but not alone, never alone. It was like she was scared of him or something. Mia sighed again. This was not getting her worked done. So she went back to her work, trying to ignore the game outside.







Delphyne smiled. The game was going great. Her team was winning by seven points. Her father's team had the ball, and if they don't get a touchdown in this next play than her team would win! This was exciting! When the guys decided to play they didn't expect her to volunteer to play. They learned early on in the game that was a formable opponent.

This last play seemed to go in slow motion for Delphyne. Rowen got free from Kento and was now running down field as Ryo Hail Mary'd it. Delphyne took off after Rowen determined not to let him get away. One step seemed to have been like a trigger of some sort. Darkness appeared from her foot and watched with fright filled eyes as her world turned black. Next step and she was falling. Falling into a black void, and then there was nothing.





She woke up finding herself in the same black void, only she wasn't falling. She stood up to find that indeed she was on a hard surface. She looked around, only to see nothing but a sea of blackness.

"Hello!?" She yelled, but only her echo answered her.

Suddenly light fell upon her and she turned around swiftly. There she saw a figure surrounded by a dark blue light. Uncle Rowen!! He was his older self. The way she knew him to be. He smiled at her and she ran towards him. She ran into Rowen and wrapping her arms around him. He in turn wrapped his arms around her. For a long time neither of them spoke anything until Rowen spoke Delphyne's name. She looked up at her uncle and he looked down at her with a sad smile.

"What is it? What's wrong? Can I come home?"

Rowen shook his head. "No Delphyne you can not come home. Dylan is now entering the past and you must help our younger selves beat him. We in the future could not beat him, but you and our children can. You are stronger than we would ever be."

"What do you mean you could not defeat him?" She looked at her uncle in surprise. He looked away not meeting her eyes. Then suddenly it dawned on her and her eyes filled up with tears. "You're not..you're not.you're not." She couldn't say the word 'dead'

Rowen looked back at Delphyne with sad eyes and nodded. "Yes Delphyne we are dead"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" She screamed as her world came crashing down on her. She buried her face into Rowen's chest and cried. "I won't believe it! You can't be dead, you can't be."

Rowen pulled her tighter against him. "Yes we are Delphyne, and nothing can change that."

She sniffed as she felt her uncle giving her comfort, pulling her into a hug once again. "I won't believe it. You guys were always so strong. You could have beaten him!"

"No Delphyne we couldn't. Ever since Ryo died we drifted away. We lost our power to grief, losing touch with our armors. In fact at one point we wanted to throw our armors away in order to forget that painful day. We only appeared to be strong was because of you. You showed the same strength and will power as your father, and we knew we couldn't let you down. So we taught you to use the Armor of Wildfire, hoping to receive some of our power back, but it never succeeded." Rowen smiled. "Find that strength Delphyne. Find it and use it." He than began to fade.

"NO! Wait!" Delphyne yell, but her uncle just smiled at her

"Please remember, we will always love you" said Rowen and disappeared into tiny particles of light. The light surrounded her then, fluttered off into the never ending sea of blackness and was joined by other particles of light. The colors were Orange, green and light blue. Uncle Kanto, Sage and Cye. They had left her alone in this void of backness

"WAIT!!" she screamed again, but he did not come back and she collapsed to the floor, crying.

She didn't even notice when the flames surrounded her, licking her body. They were not hot and were not burning her, so why notice? She didn't even care at the moment. Her grief was still too strong.

"I know how you feel, my child. I have lost loved ones in my time." said a female voice coming out from the flames. Delphyne looked up and around and saw nothing but flames. She could not decipher where the voice was coming from. She wasn't afraid, in fact the voice seemed very familiar yet she never heard it before but it was also very calming. This was strange.

"How can you say that when it was my fault my uncles are dead." She yelled into the vortex of flames.

"How is it your fault? You could have done nothing to prevent it."

"Yes I could have! I could have done something! If only I had been there."

"And if you were there what would you have done? Use the Armor of Wildfire? You can barely even use it now. What makes you think it would have made a difference? You could hardly stand up to Dylan before. That is the reason you were sent to the past. At this moment you are in no position to do anything but wear it. With proper training and the will to fight will you be able to bring out the armor's true potential. Can you do it Delphyne? Can you stand up to the armor's expectations and the name Daughter of Wildfire to avenge you father and uncles?

Delphyne stood up and glared at the fire. How dare she! How dare she condemn her like that! But yet Delphyne knew it was true. She had felt it when she first fought with Dylan. She knew that the armor was not at it's best and it was because of her. But could she really do it? Can she really stand up to the armor's expectation and most of, her own name? Well, she can sure as hell try.

"My name is Delphyne Sanada, Daughter of Wildfire and I except this challenge. I will stand up to the expectation put upon me and most of all, my name or die trying."

If flames could smile, they would be doing it right now.

"I am glad to hear it, my child. You have a strong will, never lose it." With that the flames began to move and Delphyne's kanji ball appeared in front of her.

"Take it again and train your hardest, for this is your first battle, hopefully this will also be your last."

With a determined look Delphyne wrapped her hand around the kanji ball, the symbol of Virtue appeared on her forehead. She turned around, the kanji ball firmly wrapped in her hand and walked away. Yes she will make sure this will be the last battle anyone would have to fight. This time the Dynasty will permanently fall.



Ryo looked up from where he was reading a book on a chair in the living room as he felt he kanji come to life. He looked at the others, but their kanji's didn't react as his did. Plus they didn't even notice anything, it was just him. He looked over to Delphyne, who was laying on the couch still out. After Rowen had caught the football and made a touchdown, they all saw Delphyne lying on the ground out cold. Mia said it was from too much activity after what had happened to her before Sage had found her. They had brought her into the house to let her rest, but now she appeared to be glowing red. That was weird. He then saw something on her forehead. A Kanji! Not just any kanji, but HIS kanji. Just what the hell is going on?

The red light and the kanji soon disappeared and everything went back to normal. But why would Delphyne have his kanji? He'd have to watch her more closely now. The Dynasty just might be back.
