Ryo looked around at the totally abandon streets Tokyo. It looked like
it hadn't been lived in in years. He heard battling in the distance. He
wasn't surprised at all. He knew where he was. He was having that dream
again.
Except everything was a bit different. He decided to follow the shouts
again, and sure enough. He was where the five mysterious warriors were
battling. He tried to call out to one of them. But it was like he wasn't
there.
"Lighting Bolt Cut!"
"Super Wave Striker!"
Ryo gasped in surprise. That sounded like Sage and Sai's cries. But a
bit different wording and voice. He searched for the owners of the voices
but things were becoming blurry again. He couldn't do anything but listen to
the deafening cries.
"Steel Rock Crusher!"
"Arrow Daze Wave!"
"Power Up Now!"
Ryo was surprised at the last one. It sounded like his. All of a sudden
he saw flashes of pink, yellow, orange, and neon green. Gathering together,
it started to form a silver. Ryo tried to focus his vision, but it still
blurred.
"RAAAGGGE OF IIINNNFFERNOOOO!!!"
Ryo gasped again at the familiar cry. Covering his ears automatically,
waiting to hearing the big explosion after it. As it came he heard a loud
scream of failure. After about a minute of the deafening explosion.
Everything went quiet and his vision began to clear.
Just as before. When his vision was completly cleared. He saw the
amazing silver armor before him. And of course the same sad, tiger blue
eyes. With barley a hint of blonde hair underneigth the Inferno helmet.
Looking away, beckoning Ryo to look too. She whispered something but it
was to soft for Ryo to hear. As he looked, he saw what she had wanted him to
see. 4 armors lay beyond the distance of Ryo and the her. Looking back at
her, her armor began to change color. Ryo whatched as the once silver armor
turned white. Shocked, he saw her take off the helmet. He gasped when he saw
it wasn't the girl he was with minutes ago. It was himself.
Ryo felt as if he was looking into a mirror. Then the Ryo he was looking
at pointed in the direction of the four fallen warriors. Except they weren't
the pink, yellow, orange, and neon green armors anymore. Ryo squinted to get
a better look. Only to see it was the armors of Halo, Strata, Torrent, and
Hardrock. Ryo jumped back in horror at what he saw. He turned back to face
the Ryo across from him. But he was gone. Only his voice could be heard.
"Darkness happens to one, the other shares it's fate."


"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ryo woke up bathed in sweat once again. It took him a second to find out
he was in his room once more and settled down. Tears streamed down his face
as he tried to wash them away. What was his dream telling him. He didn't
understand! Why is this happening to him! He finally laid back down and
tried to close his eyes and sleep. Tiredness suddenly took over and he half
welcomed the presence of sleep.
