Chapter 1: Calling You

He let his golden hair grow out since the time of his youth when he was forced to fight in the Wars. Now he has left it all behind him hoping to move on. He now has it in a ponytail down his back. When he told his friends, it was time for a change none of them realized what he meant. A few short days after telling them that he left for a new life. He went to a small town in New Jersey America and started working at a local Martial Arts School while going to school at Rutgers to get a business degree and work on his English. After a while, he left the school and opened his own kendo school. A few years past before, he started having the nightmares. He kept waking up in the night in a cold sweat while images of the final battles flashed past his eyes. He would sometimes ignore it and try to go back to sleep while other times he would meditate on it. However, tonight was different. He had been spending the night with a friend who worked with him at his school. They had been watching movies and talking for most the night. When he jolted awake, his foot hit to bowl of popcorn on the table and sent popcorn flying everywhere as well as the bowl hitting the floor with a loud thud.

"You alright Sage?" His friend asked. She had been leaning against him when she fell asleep.

"Yeah, I just had that dream again Hailey." He leaned back on the couch as Hailey cuddled into him for warmth.

"That's the third time this week that you've told me about." Hailey was now looking wide-eyed at Sage. Her green eyes sparkled in the low light. "How long have you been having these dreams?"

Sage slowly looked down at his friend. "Almost two months."

"Tell me the truth on this," Hailey said but stopped before she could finish her idea. "Tell me what you keep seeing. Tell me as much as you can remember. I might be able to help."

Sage's eyes darted to the VCR/DVD player clock; it read 3:37AM. It was blinking in a green light that light up part of the room. "I keep seeing the guys in the photo on my desk, during one of those last days." He could not tell her about the Dynasty Wars, even if they are over.

"Sage, does it have to do with the Ronin Warrior Armor in the back of your closet." Sage's eyes stopped tracing the outline of the room and now were focused on his friend.

"How do you know what that is?" He asked remembering that he had not told her about what the armor was. "I thought I told you it was my grandfathers."

Hailey sat up on the couch so she could look at him face to face. "For a Japanese boy you tend to be a bit thick headed. Sage, come on to my room with me I have something to show you." She lifted herself off the couch and brushed the popcorn off her self. "You know your cleaning that up right?"

"I know." Sage looked at her for a second before standing up and brushing the popcorn off himself. She led him down the hallway to a bedroom. There was a dresser, desk and bed.

"Shield your eyes." She said.

"Why?" Hailey turned the light on. "Ah! God Hail, that's bright!"

"Sage, it's only a 60 watt. Its not that bright." She laughed before she pulled an old newspaper out from under her bed. "You and your guys head lined a few times a few years ago."

"Why do you still have that paper? It's a few years old!" Sage looked at the pictures that lined the front page. He sat down on her bed looking at the pictures of these old friends. There was a picture of himself standing with a blue hair and eyed teenager. Only his armor was a dark blue. "Rowen." His whispered as he looked over the picture of the two of them.

"I still have them because it just felt weird to throw them away." She sat down on the bed next to Sage. "Five unknown teenage males were spotted today trying to save the city from unspeakable evils. Their Identities are unknown, the only clues we have to the warriors true Identity is by the names they call each other while fighting. The one wearing bright fire red armor was being called Wildfire as he lead he team and shouted commands. In shining green armor was knight known as Halo. Then we had the on in orange being called Hard Rock. There are two teenagers in blue. The lighter blue was called Torrent while the darker one was Strata. Although, we are not sure if those are nicknames or if they have any meanings to their identies. Please contact this newspaper if you have any information on these new super heroes." Hailey recited. "Do you want to shed light on to who the heroes of my youth were?"

Sage pointed to the boy standing next to him in the first picture. "This is my friend Rowen Hashiba." Sage's finger trembled as it moved across the page. It stopped on the warrior wearing fire read armor. "This is Ryo Sanada. At times he was an argent Bastard, but he saved our Asses a hell of a lot of times." The final picture was of the two remaining warriors. "The one in orange is Kento Rei Faun and the other one is good old Cye Mouri."

She took the news paper from him and threw it on the floor. "Sage, tell me what's going on. You can tell me anything, you know that." Sage's hands were still trembling a little. Hailey pulled Sage to her and held him while he tried to figure out what to say. Slowly he started telling her the truth about his past. He told her all the things he saw in the dreams. Sage even told her about how the War Lords were always trying to kill them. As he told the story of his past Hailey held on to him. "I know what your dreams are telling you."

He looked wide eyed at her. "What?"

"Their telling you to…"
