A crossover featuring the heroes and heroines from Dragon Ball Z, Magic Knights Rayearth, Sailor Moon, & Ronin Warriors
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, Magic Knights Rayearth, Ronin Warriors, or Dragon Ball. Each are owned by respective companies. Do not sue me because you won't get anything anyway. I mean that literally in every sense. I'm broke okay.
Author's Note: This chapter does contain spoilers toward the Ronin Warrior series. In it I have mentioned scenes from the Ronins past battles.
Chapter Sixteen:
"Hmmph, so what do you say about that you overgrown troll doll?" Raye taunted, "It looks like your going to have to fight along side us if you accept this mission."
Vegeta looked at the girls in the sailor uniforms and rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, little girl. If I chose to accept this mission you had just better stay out of my way," he sneered.
Raye turned back to her friends.
"Ooh, that guy just makes me so mad, " she mumbled.
"He obviously has anger displacement issues and is simply trying to compensate for his own insecurities," Ami commented. She was just as steamed with the man's comments (In her own Ami-like way).
"No kidding." Mina replied.
"Never mind him." Hamara replied.
"How can you say that? He was putting all of us down." Raye shot back
"Who cares what he thinks. We all know that we have something to contribute to this new battle or else we wouldn't be here. Besides there are more important matters to be thinking about at the moment." Michelle answered.
"Like the possible destruction of the world," Trista replied.
"And what we can do to stop it." Hotaru added.
Raye, Ami, Lita, Serena, and Mina looked at the grave expressions on the faces of the outer scouts. They knew Hotaru, Trista, Michelle, and Hamara were right. There was too much at stake to lose sight of the real enemy.

Yamcha stared at the girl in the red and white sailor uniform. He thought he had heard her friends call her Raye. She stood tall with confidence and pride. She had died a noble death just as all of her friends. They had been willing to die for their cause and to protect their princess. Each and every one them had done it without hesitation. It was pretty much the same way he felt about all of his friends.
They are true warriors, he decided. Well, in their own strange and unique way.
Trunks looked at the girls in the sailor skirts and the ones whom called themselves Magic Knights. He had been right. They were not what they seemed. He turned to look at his father. He still bared a look of ridicule. Vegeta smirked, but said nothing. Trunks hid a small smile with his hand. While his father would never say so, Trunks knew that he had in some way respected what those girls had done.

"I guess we're not the only ones with our own battles to fight and world to protect." Fuu replied.
"Yeah." Hikaru nodded.
"Actually you know this makes me feel even more proud to be a magic knight. Despite the fact that I'm starting to feel like I am at some super hero convention, after witnessing all of the other fighters battles to protect their homes, I feel like I'm apart of something bigger. You know?" Umi said thoughtfully.
Fuu and Hikaru stared at Umi in surprise. She never ever got this philosophical. Umi blushed at her friends' reactions.
"Yes, we understand what you mean Ms. Umi." Fuu quickly replied.
"We know exactly how you feel." Hikaru grinned.
********
"Ronin Warriors, now I will appeal to you. Your feats to protect the mortal realm from the evil demons of the Netherworld have also been noted." Kala said addressing the five young men.
Everyone suddenly looked up at the glowing ball of light above their heads.
"Our first major battle against Talpa." Ryo replied.
This battle had been one of the Ronin Warriors most difficult battles. It had also been one of their greatest victories.
"Man, looking back at that battle, I almost still can't believe that we won. Things were looking pretty bad at first." Kinto said shaking his head.
The rest of his friends nodded as they stared at the sphere floating above their heads.
Ryo thought that Kinto's comment had been an understatement. Things had looked much more than "pretty bad", more like devoid of any hope. That day all of his friends had stormed Talpa's castle for a final confrontation. The battle took a turn for the worse when the Dark Warlords had willingly given over their armors to the demon. Despite the fact that this had only supplied Talpa with only three of the nine armors, he still proved to be a very powerful opponent and more than the Ronins could handle. Slowly by absorbing armored warrior one after another, pieces of Talpa's body began to materialize until only Ryo was left.
****
Talpa laughed.
"What do you think now Ryo of Wildfire? I have eight of the nine armors now. I have waited a 1,000 years to taste its nectar!"
Lightning crackled and thunder boomed throughout the cloudy, gray-streaked sky. The battle against Talpa was proving not to be easy and Ryo kept his distance. Talpa was trying out his new body's powers.
"Ryo of wildfire, you and your friends have made my armor strong! I thank you! I could not have succeeded without you!" laughed the demon.
At that moment Ryo could only think of his fallen friends. They were gone and he was all that was left. They had died protecting him and now he would finish this battle. He would not let his friends sacrifices been made in vain.
"Your armor will be mine, boy! You will become apart me and my dark legacy!"
"Never! You'll never take me! I want revenge for my friends!" Ryo shouted and charged forward. Ryo ran up the giant's arm and prepared to bury the end of his sword in Talpa's face.
Talpa stumbled back in surprise at the direct assault, but merely flicked Ryo towards the ground, as though he were a bug.
"Foolish child! You can not intimidate me." Talpa said. He brought his foot up and prepared to smash the lone warrior into the ground.
Ryo quickly recovered and leapt out of the way. Talpa lunged forward with the blade of one his swords. Ryo had only a split second to avoid its sharp edge. The sword plunged past him and into a large stone spire. It cracked and then shattered under Talpa's force.
"Soon I will possess all eight armors and you will live forever as apart of me!" shouted the evil entity.
Ryo took this chance to use his armor's power. He leaped up into the air above Talpa.
"ARMOR OF WILDFIRE! FLARE UP NOW!"
A crackle of energy traveled downward toward Talpa. The wave of energy hit Talpa directly. Talpa only laughed and simply bathed in the energy's radiance.
"Do you really that you can hurt me! I possess eight of the nine armors!"
****
The battle's outcome seemed bleak. Talpa was right he possessed the power of eight armors, while Ryo stood alone as an army of one. How could he destroy Talpa? To make matters even more complicated; Ryo had sensed the life energies of his four friends. They were still alive somewhere inside the demon's body. How could he defeat Talpa without killing them in the process? He didn't know what he would do, but he knew that he couldn't take Talpa on without first figuring out how he would save his friends. Ryo retreated trying to keep his distance away from the giant.
****
"Where are you going Ryo? Why don't you just give up? If you do then you can be with your friends again."
"I'm not stupid Talpa. I know that's a lie! " Ryo shouted back.
"So what do you believe in? Yourself?" Talpa scoffed.
****
Talpa had cornered the warrior right up to the edge of the roof. He would do anything to trick the young warrior. Talpa raised his sword in the air. The sky became darker and began to spread over the deserted city below. Talpa even tried psyching Ryo out by using all of his friends' attacks against him. Now that Talpa had absorbed them and their armors he also possessed their abilities and fighting techniques. Ryo dodged and jumped, but eventually Talpa gained the upper hand.
Ryo laid on the ground struggling to stand on his feet. He looked up as he heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind him. Ryo rolled over on to his back and stared up at Talpa. He towered over the small warrior.
"It doesn't look like he's going to pull it off." Hamara replied.
That's exactly what Ryo had thought at that moment. At that moment the whole battle had seemed pointless. Ryo had felt like he had failed his friends, when suddenly he could hear and feel the spirits of his friends encouraging him to finish the battle.
(AN: Sorry, I just had to put this moment of the RW series in here. It was so touching *sniff* and plus I'm a big sap for that stuff.)
****
Ryo looked up at the titan. He felt defeated and didn't think he had anything left to give. What was the point to fight so hard and to still lose?
"My friends, Rowan, Kinto, Sai, and Sage. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. I will be with you soon."
Suddenly Ryo felt his armor powering up with energy. Ryo couldn't understand what was happening.
"Blast you for resisting me!" Talpa cursed as he struggled to move his immobilized body. His body had begun to glow with light.
Ryo could suddenly hear his friends' voices.
"Ryo fight back." Rowan said.
"Get Talpa!" Sage cried.
"Do it now while we hold him for you!" Sai pleaded.
"Forget about us." Kinto told him.
"Don't worry you have to save the world not us!" Rowan assured him.
"Ryo!" All four Ronin Warriors scream.
"You can not control me! I control you!" Talpa yelled angrily. He was still struggling to regain control of his body.
Ryo stood up. He, too, was struggling against his friends' efforts to force him to finish off Talpa.
"I can't do it. I can't kill you just to kill him! I won't make that sacrifice!" Ryo said, refusing his friends' offer. What they were asking of him was unthinkable.
"Just think about it! We saved you so that you could destroy Talpa!"
"Stop it! Stop it please!" Ryo said.
"No! I can't do it! I won't!" Ryo said refusing. Ryo broke his friends hold. Unfortunately at the same time that Talpa regained control of his body.
"Your chance to live has expired." Talpa cried and proceeded to absorb the last of the Ronin Warriors.
****
Vegeta shook his head at the scene he had just witness on the screen.
"Weakling," he said in disgust.
"He lost?" Tien said. "Then how is it that they're still here?"
"As we all know it never over until it's over." Piccolo replied.
"I don't know, Piccolo. It looks pretty much over to me." Krillin observed.
"Well, something happened in their favor because they're standing right over there." Yamcha concluded.
****
While captured inside Talpa's being, Ryo had a chance to see his friends again, as well as get a grasp on the importance of what he was fighting for. The Ancient had spoke to him and made him realize why this battle had been important. Renewed with confidence and determination Ryo broke free of the demon's control. Ryo's revival had also awakened the white armor, the armor of Inferno. Using the armor he was able to defeat Talpa and send him back to the Netherworld.
Talpa could feel energy emerging from his body.
"What?" Talpa cried.
He watched as the energy reformed into a figure. It was Ryo adorning the white armor.
"Good. Now I will have the pleasure of killing you again!" Talpa cried.
"You're going to find out that the human spirit is not so easy to defeat, Talpa." Ryo replied.
"I will destroy you and then I will rule this world." Talpa cried as he swung his sword in the air, flinging energy blasts.
Ryo easily dodged them and landed in front of Talpa. Talpa raised his sword above his head and then brought it down to strike the mighty little warrior. Ryo used both of his katanas to stop Talpa's blade. Ryo exerted a little force and caused Talpa to stumble back a few steps. Ryo then leaped into the air. It was time to end this battle.
"FLARE UP NOW!"
Talpa attempted to block the blast, but could do nothing to stop the fury of its force. The energy sent Talpa flying into the tower of the castle, pinning him down. Ryo intensified the blast. The blast went straight through Talpa and continued on into the sky. Talpa cried out at his demise. His body and his castle dissolved until it was no more.
Ryo watched until he passed out in exhaustion. When he awoke he found himself floating slowly down to the ground encased in clear energy bubble. When he looked to his sides he realized that his friends were floating down along with him. Ryo looked up and stared into their eyes, each of them stared back at him with smiles on their faces.
Ryo let out a sigh of relief and smiled as laid his head back down. It was over and his friends were safe.
****
Suddenly the viewing globe went blank. The Ronins looked down and at each other. Ryo smiled at his friends. It was the first time he had not looked upset since they had been brought to the sacred realm.
"So Ronin Warrriors I ask you now. Will you join in the battle ahead?" Kala asked.
Ryo turned away from him friends and stared into the silver eyes of the guardian.
"Count us in." Ryo answered.
