Chapter 4

After escaping from the Warlords, Cye turned toward the person wearing the Armor of

Cruelty. "Who are you, and what are you doing wearing the armor of a Dark Warlord?"

he asked, his British accent coming to the front.

*Whoa too close.* "Sorry Cye .... I mean Torrent. Can't tell you that just yet. Keep

running, I will devert the Warlords. Get to the other Ronins and for the love of the mortal

world don't get separated!" Cye nodded, but moved off with some suspicion. *Can't let

him know that I'm from the future!* Hope thought to herself.

Hope decided against powering down, if the Warlords caught up with her she need the

power that only came from full battle armor to fight them. Hope jumped to the rooftops

and headed in the opposite direction of Cye hoping to stop any Warlords from going after

him. She didn't have to wait long.

"Well, well what do we have here?" "Yikes!" Hope yelped seeing Anubis and Cale.

*Uh oh I'm busted. Running time.* She thought and ran, in another direction. "Come

back here!" Cale yelled.

"Yea all right, are you dumb or it being over four hundred old?" She called back to him.

That got Cale mad! "I'll teach you to disrespect a Dark Warlord! Black Lighting Slash!"

"Miss me by fifty miles!" Hope called though she barely dodged the sure kill. *I hope I

know what I'm doing. Or I am a DEAD Ronin.* She thought to herself as she kept

running.

As Hope ran from the Warlords she heard something to her left. "WEB OF

DECEPTION!" called out another voice! *DRATS I forgot about Dais.* Hope thought to

herself. Caught in her thought Hope didn't pay attention to the jump she was making, she

slipped on the roof top as she cleared the jump.

"Yah!" She cried as fell from the roof to the ground, thanks to her armor she survived

without a bruise but the fall knocked the wind out of her. Hope looked to see Cale and

Dais jump down without a problem and start towards her.

"WE have the Ronin pest now!" called out Cale. "Yes, and Master Talpa will be pleased

with us for doing so." responded Dais. Hope knew she had to escape or she was as good

as dead. *Armor down! Sub armor!* She thought to herself as she garbed one of the

illusion potions Dais gave her, she always carried some around with her.

"Invisibility!" She called and became invisible. Hope got up and suddenly ran, she then

switched to sub armor as the potion wore off but by then she had put enough distance

between her and the Warlords so they couldn't follow her.
