Chapter 9: Captured
I landed on my back in the dirt I gritted my teeth in pain as I stood. " Remind me to never make you angry Anubis." I muttered standing. "Serena you've got to focus: don't let me get close enough to knock you off balance." Anubis said slightly impatient. "Easier said then done." I muttered as I saw the bruises that were starting to form. Then ... " Serena it's time to go to school." Mia yelled. I had been up since dawn training on my own, until Anubis saw me and started to help me train. "Saved by Mia." I said running to the car. Later at my school, I ran into a new kid. He had short, dark brown hair and light green eyes; he was tall and looked muscular like Kento.
"Sorry." I said, while I help him pick up his books and vice versa. "It's okay I, wasn't watching where I was going. My name is Jack. Yours is Serena right?" He asked as we shook hands. "How did you know my name?" "I heard that you had beaten up the school bully when he started to harass you." He smiled and so did I. Okay this is weird: I feel like I've met him before but from where? I asked myself. "I was reading one of these poster looks like the fall dance is coming up. Well I guess I'll see you later." Jack said and walked off quick. Hmm so the dance is coming soon, I'll bring it up at lunch it's not like I like dances, but it couldn't hurt to see if the others are going. I thought to myself as I hurried to Math class.
"Hey guys." I said at lunch as I sat beside Cye. " Did you guys hear about the fall dance coming up?" I asked them trying to look casual as I asked. "Yea I heard about it. Believe me I was right beside Sage." Sage gave Rowen a look: Sage had a fan club of girls at Han High, but he disliked them and their group. "Are you going?" Sage asked. "I don't know no one asked and I have a feeling the Seasonal warriors are going to keep me busy with training. Are you guys going?" I asked. "It depend what going to happen with the Dynasty." Ryo said and we ate in silence.
Then at the house I was watching Kento and Sage fight on the Play station on Mortal Kombat but I couldn't focus. I kept thinking about how quiet it had been in the Dynasty, and about my armor being connected to Ryo's and the Warlords. "Serena. Hello Earth to Serena." Rowen waved his hand in front of my eyes. "Huh?" I asked and looked around, everyone was staring at me. " You okay? You phased out on us." Kento asked. "Sorry I was just. Er ... thinking." I said quickly turning slightly red. "Must have been something interesting. You can tell us about it later, as there is someone at the door for you." Ryo said. I got up quickly and started to the door. "Jack! What are you doing here?" I asked surprised. Jack smiled a bit. "I accidentally took your Math book when we ran into each other. I thought you might want it back." He handed me the book. " Thanks! I was wondering where it was. How did you find this place?" I asked him. "I asked around. Um can you do something for me? I heard you have a good hold on social studies, could you tutor me in it? We can go to Study Hall so I won't interrupt your spare time." I thought for a moment. "Sure tomorrow at Study Hall." "Okay I'll see you at school, bye."
"Bye." I said as he walked away, I closed the door and found the others looking at me curiously. "What are you staring at me for?" I asked. "Who was that boy?" Cye asked. Uh oh he is going into his over protective big brother voice again. I thought then I explained how I met him and how I had just told him I would tutor him in Study Hall. "Hmm I don't like him he knew where you lived without even asking you." "Cye! He asked around it's not that hard to find someone if you ask others." "We just want to make sure you will be safe." Ryo said. I quietly walked to the stairs and then I pause right beside Ryo. "With you I'll always be safe Ryo." I whispered and ran upstairs quickly before he had a chance to respond. "Well Jack does seem nice. But there is also a problem." Everyone in the room turned to Mia. "It seems we may be on to something. The Dynasty attacked me early today. Luckily Anubis was with me so they didn't hurt me." "But why attack you and why now?" Sage asked.
"I think Ihaven't been much of a threat to them before, but with my knowledge and Harry's knowledge of the armors, we can find something that may help destroy the Dynasty." Mia said.
Meanwhile ... Back in Dynasty things were going as planed. "Is she falling for the trap?" Arco asked. "Yes sir she is. Soon it will be time for phase 2." "How long?" Koga thought for a moment. "It depends on the Ronins if they will let her go alone after the attack." "They will. She is trusting like Torrent, but we must be careful not to arouse the attention of the Ronins. The drawing of their attention to the woman was a wise move." Arco paused. "Soon, it will be soon. Make sure the Ronins do not think she may be in danger. Now go." Acro said as Koga vanished. She looks like the girl who saved me from death and she has her spirit. After I was banished, that girl gave me enough energy to survive. Hmmm but for now I must not think about that, it hard enough getting into the Mortal World with out all of the Counterpart armors and stay as long as I must. He thought as he left the throne room to a magic window where he would watch what was going on in the Mortal World.
The next week was the same, I would go to school and met Jack in Study Hall and we became friends. One day I met Jack in Study Hall. "Hey Jack." I called to him, as soon as I got close enough to speak without having to yell over the other chatting. "Hey Serena. Listen ... um ... can you come with me tonight. There is a good movie and I have two tickets, but if you don't want to come I won't be mad or anything else." I smiled. "Okay come to where I staying. If I can come I'll go but if I can't." I said. Then Jack and I discussed how the movie was and then I helped him study. The day went by so fast my head was spinning then when we all got home I went to speak with Anubis and the other Seasonal Warriors. "Anubis are we going to have training today?" I asked him but he shook his head. "No I decided that you need to rest. To much training can make you tired and unaware of your surroundings." He said I thought about that and ran inside wondering what to say to the guys when Jack shows up. Then at 5:00pm Jack showed up.
"Hey Serena can you come to the movie?" He asked looking at Cye and the others. "I don't have anything to do so I guess so. As long as Cye doesn't object." I said trying to hide my smile at Cye and the others surprised faces. I had explained before to Jack that if Cye did say I couldn't and I went Cye would kill the both of us. "Go ahead." Cye said. I smiled and left quickly not knowing what trouble lay ahead. ".... so then I asked my brother if he so smart why can't he even control those lap dogs of his and he looks at me gaping speechless with was a rare." I laughed a bit and smiled. " I think you and Kento would get along: he's a practical joker and he has a lot of funny stories, being the oldest of six children." I said, as we were walking back to Mia's home but I sensed that something was wrong.
"Jack we better get going it doesn't feel right " I said, and then I heard an evil laugh. "So you sensed that we were near little Ronin? Good, you are getting better." Koga, Dan, Kaila, some Dynasty soldiers and a new warlord appeared. "Jack run, get out of here now! Go get my brother and the others they will know what to do." "I hope so Icefire." I turn paled and turned to face Jack: It was then, that I realized I had just stepped right into a trap. "Yes Icefire, you have fallen into a trap. Now you will join the Dynasty as you were supposed to, if Talpa hadn't tried to kill you in the fire." I jerked away from him. " That what you think Arco. Armor of Icefire! Power of ... " But then before I could completely call on my armor all the warlords attacked at once. " Winds of Pain!" "Posion Whip!" "Chains of Horror!" "Black Lighting!" I tried to dodge all the attacks, but I was hit by the Koga's and Kaila's attacks and sunk to my knees in pain, but I refused to cry out. " You should have given up when I warned you Icefire." Arco said as he moved towards me as I blacked out.
I don't know how long I was knocked out, but when I woke up I saw I was in a small room and my wrists were in shackles and they was attached to two short chains that were chained to the wall. The chains were long enough to let me sit down. "Damm it. ^$#@ing shit. How am I supposed to get out of here now?" I asked myself, and began to call upon my armor until I realize I couldn't! " What the heck: I can't armor up!" "Of course we not; we don't want you to leave us now would we?" The new warlord asked from where he had been watching me, I gulped. "You mean I'm in the...?" "Dynasty? Yes you are." He said with a smirk, his dark brown eyes flashing. "Oh dear." I said wondering what I was going to do now.
Then he walked toward me. I stood up as quickly as I could, as the warlord studied me for a moment. "I can see why the armor choose you. The way you stand shows you are afraid but you won't give in easily," He said. I narrowed my eyes: What was he trying to get at? "Who are you?" I asked surprising myself with that question. "I'm Corin, warlord of Black Lighting," He said, watching for my reaction. "So you're the one that tried to hit me with that bolt of lighting." I said, looking him dead center in his eyes, wondering why he seemed so familiar. "I heard of your smart mouth comments and your bravery but I never thought even as a prisoner, you would keep fighting." Corin said. I couldn't help but think this one was different, something about him nagged at me. He then grabbed the shackles on my wrists and placed a smaller chain on them and pulled me out of the dungeon. I knew I didn't have a chance, if I tried to run. I would have to wait for the right moment to try to escape.
We walked into a dark room. There were a few candles glowing so I see fairly well, but you could feel the evil in air. Then the other warlords appeared. I kept quiet, looking around for Arco: he looked and acted so much like a human, that it was no wonder that I didn't even suspect anything. The attack on Mia was a trick for the others to focus on protecting her, so they wouldn't notice a boy who just happened to show up. I thought to myself. "I see you have came back to the land of the living, Icefire. Maybe now you will see how foolish this resistance is and bow before me." My head snapped to where the voice came from, and there on the throne was Arco, looking smug. "Me, bow before you? Never! The Ronins beat Talpa and they will destroy you as well." I said, causing Dan to knock me to my knees. By instinct, I tried to lash out at him, but my arms were pinned painfully behind me by Corin. Again I refused to cry out. "You are as brave but as foolish as the Ronins. You know what I want." Arco said. "Yea, me and my armor are what you want, but you're not getting it. You can do what you want, but you'll never have my armor or the mortal world." I said but took a sharp intake of breath as Kaili dug a dagger into my back drawing blood.
"We will see how much of a fighter you are after my warlords are done with you. They have a way of changing people's minds." Arco said. I struggled as best I could, but I was dragged back to the dungeon, tied up and then the warlords thought of a way to make me suffer with out killing me. Corin leaned toward me a bit and out of the corner of his mouth spoke. "I will take no pleasure in this Serena but I must make it look real: I will come back later and bandage you up the best I can without the other suspecting anything."
"Why are you helping me?" I asked in a whisper. "Remember a young boy you met once. You befriended him and stopped him from going astray. I thought you died in the fire and I lost it. I was found by Arco and have stayed here since. Now I have to make this look real." He said as he launched a kick to my face, busting my lip and making me spit blood. Then the others joined in. I lost mercifully consciousness half way through the beating but afterwards I faked being knocked out. Then I sensed another person in there. My eyes were swollen half shut so I couldn't see who, but whoever it was, tapped into my energy and gave me some of there's. There child: The warlords were told not to kill you, but it looks like they got carried away. I have restored enough of your energy to keep you alive. Arco thought as he started to leave.
Corin walked to the throne room, but froze when he saw Arco coming out of the dungeon. What was he doing in there? Did he hurt Serena? Why am I so concerned about her? Arrgh I know why: She saved my life more then once and I must honor that. Without knowing what was happening Corin felt a soft, gentle warmth forming upon his forehead. Honor was the armor kanji and it shone brightly upon Corin forehead until it faded away. "I must contact the Ronins: she is a fighter but if Koga has his way with her she will died." He said as he ran down out of the Dynasty. Meanwhile...
"Where is she? She should be back by now." Cye said he was starting to pace the living room while the others watched him. "She's been gone for five hours now: It's not like her to stay out this long." Cye said mostly to himself. "Don't worry Cye: If that boy has tried to hurt her, then she'll kick his ass and come home." Kento said, but even he wasn't so sure. "Ronins come out!" came a yell from outside and everyone knew who it was. "Dynasty scum! What have you done with my sister?" Cye yelled as he came outside. Corin studied Cye for a moment.
" Your sister is in the Dynasty, in the dungeon. She is alive but, with what Koga and the other warlords are planning, she won't be for long. I came to make a truce: I will help you get around the warlords and Dynasty soldiers in the Dynasty, if you get Serena out of there. She won't last much longer no matter how much of a fighter she is." Cye and the others looked at Corin with both shock and suspicion. "Why are you helping us?" Ryo asked, thinking it was a trap. "Serena saved my life more then once, and I'm returning the favor. So are you in or am I going to have to save her myself?" Corin asked impatiently. He knew he didn't have much time before Acro would start looking for him.
"Ryo. I know this boy: His name is Corin. He and Serena were best friends back in Chicago. When the orphanage burned down he lost it, thinking that Serena had died in the fire, then he disappeared before Serena came to my home. I think the Dynasty may have gotten to him and his armor after the fire." Harry said to Ryo as he thought about it. "All right but if you cross us Corin, you'll die." Ryo said aggressively showing he meant it. Corin nodded in agreement and turned the handle of his sword to Ryo to prove that he wouldn't double cross them. Ryo shook his head. "You'll need it in the battle." Ryo said, as they started to make a plan together how to get in the Dynasty without the warlords or Arco knowing and how to get me out quickly before anyone noticed. Later Kayura was about to open a portal to the Dynasty but Corin stopped her.
"Don't: The Dynasty will know if you open a portal. I'll open one." Corin said, as he turned to open a gate to the Dynasty and stepped through. "We don't have all day." He said, waiting for the Ronins to follow; Ryo was the first one to step through. Not far behind him was Cye then one by one the others followed. Hold on Serena we are coming to get you. Ryo thought to me as the rest of the Ronin stepped through the portal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Icefire here, first thing I like to say I don't own Ronin Warriors. Second I like to say this story isn't just mine, it also belongs to my friend and partner, Harry since he and I are co writing this story. Harry is helping me a lot in this story so he deserves the credit too.
Serena has been captured by the Dynasty, imprisoned and beaten black and blue but she still hasn't gave up! And it looks like Black Lighting; Serena friend from the past has gone to the Ronins. But will Corin really help the Ronins save Serena or will he betray them? Will the other Ronins be able to free their comrade? It looks like you have to find out in Chapter 7: Armor of Black Lighting/ He's gone!
I landed on my back in the dirt I gritted my teeth in pain as I stood. " Remind me to never make you angry Anubis." I muttered standing. "Serena you've got to focus: don't let me get close enough to knock you off balance." Anubis said slightly impatient. "Easier said then done." I muttered as I saw the bruises that were starting to form. Then ... " Serena it's time to go to school." Mia yelled. I had been up since dawn training on my own, until Anubis saw me and started to help me train. "Saved by Mia." I said running to the car. Later at my school, I ran into a new kid.

Later Kayura was about to open a portal to the Dynasty but Corin stopped her.
"Don't: The Dynasty will know if you open a portal. I'll open one." Corin said, as he turned to open a gate to the Dynasty and stepped through. "We don't have all day." He said, waiting for the Ronins to follow; Ryo was the first one to step through. Not far behind him was Cye then one by one the others followed. Hold on Serena we are coming to get you. Ryo thought to me as the rest of the Ronin stepped through the portal.

Hi Icefire here, first thing I like to say I don't own Ronin Warriors. Second I like to say this story isn't just mine, it also belongs to my friend and partner, Harry since he and I are co writing this story. Harry is helping me a lot in this story so he deserves the credit too.
Serena has been captured by the Dynasty, imprisoned and beaten black and blue but she still hasn't gave up! And it looks like Black Lighting; Serena friend from the past has gone to the Ronins. But will Corin really help the Ronins save Serena or will he betray them? Will the other Ronins be able to free their comrade? It looks like you have to find out in Chapter 7: Armor of Black Lighting/ He's gone!
