SEQ CHAPTER h r 1Disclaimer: I do not own the ronin warriors. I only own the plot.(no matter how much I wish I owned them I don't)
Author's note: I am introing a new character. This is also my very first fanfic so be patient with me.
Ebony Kiribana was a normal 14 year old. Well, sort of. She was a natural beauty with long, dark hair and reddish- amber eyes. A regular child prodigy, she had cunning and smarts with an IQ that would baffle even Steven Hawkins. For a smallish person she was strong, and yet was lithe which made her beauty simply unbearable. As an orphan with a pair of younger siblings she stunned all by keeping order on her own. Her parents' will had carefully stated that if Ebony was still alive, she was to live as though she was an adult (without driving privileges) .To top it off, it was every teenage boy's dream to get a date from her.
Ebony was supposed to be on a skiing trip. She had just gotten to the private summit her friend's parents owned when her cell phone rang.
"Hey Ebby." Chimed the cheery voice of her best friend Aiko.
"Hey 'iko. Where are you guys?"
"Uhhhhh.. Well, I have some bad news."
"Nani?"
"The skiing trip's been canceled. Ami and Fumi are both stuck with their families for winter break. Chiaki is in the hospital for an asthma attack. Nothing serious though. Chojiro is ill and Etsuya caught the flu from him. Heiji is staying for his girlfriend's birthday and he also doesn't have a ride. Your boyfriend, Ryo, is flying to America for a national soccer tournament. Kento is busy watching some wrestling marathon. Rowen is participating in the regionals for Science Olympiad. Cye's got some weird job demonstrating at the aquarium. Sage has to help out at his family dojo, poor guy. Finally, my brother handcuffed me to the lamp post outside my house as a joke and, ha ha, he lost the keys. So I'm waiting out here until they either find the key, get a permit to saw this thing down, or I freeze to death. At least you're cozy at home, ne?"
"NANI?!?!?! I'm stuck out here at your stupid private summit!. Whatever. I'll find the cabin and have fun skiing BY MYSELF!!! Ja ne!"

Ebony was mad. No, she was more than mad. She was disappointed and FURIOUS. There was no way for her to get back home because her ride to the summit had already left. When she regained whatever shred of sanity she had left, she decided to hike up to the cabin... if she ever found it.
In his fortress, Tulpa saw all. He would watch the girl carefully. The freshly defeated lord had a feeling she was to wear the last armor. If he was wrong, well, she would have to be... disposed of. He watched as she made it towards the fortress. A kanji began to glow on her forehead. Ai, the kanji for love. Tulpa had made the armor with his own energy without knowing what the wielder's kanji would be. This, the armor was the armor of the Chrono, would be the strongest, for it reckoned with the forces the universe had been created with. It was the ultimate armor. The armor of time.
Ebony looked at the building before her. "It doesn't really look like a cabin, but it's starting to snow so what choice do I have? Besides, there's something that makes me want to go inside." she whispered to herself for reassurance. She went inside quickly. Ebony wasn't even deterred by the fact that the gates opened on their own. It seemed as though she hadn't noticed.
"Whoa." Ebony exclaimed breathlessly as she looked around the cavernous hall.
She had barely gotten inside when her senses alerted her to a strong presence. Her feet started moving without her thinking. They were taking her to the stronghold's armory. Something was calling her. She didn't know why, but she had to find it.
"My destiny calls me to wake the slumbering powers that have chosen to manifest within my soul. The fates have been cruel to me thus far, but I am the one whom they have beckoned. Time has answered your call of distress and all will be decided when the six become one." Ebony whispered to no one.
"Finally. She is here. This girl is the one. Even the Ancient can't stop me now. I'll have to meet this Ebony and make sure that she will be the loyal soldier that Lady Kayura was. Then I'll reclaim my kingdom and crush those foolish Ronins. When this girl is ready they will fall where they stand."
In front of her stood a suit of armor. It was an odd shade of purple. One that looked shadowy and muted. Like purple shale. There were weapons beside it; a large scythe and gauntlets attached to retractable blades. She approached the armor, abandoning all caution.
Then a man stepped out of the shadows. Tulpa was had been waiting for the girl. As he started towards her though, she dropped into fighting stance and he drew back. Ebony was too preoccupied to notice that her cell phone had fallen out of her pocket. It was ringing and it rang unnoticed. The phone ceased to ring and a name flashed across the screen.
" Do you want this armor?" he inquired while moving forward once again.. Ebony calmed down and nodded mutely. " You see it is my armor, but it is a very special armor. Ebony, you may have the armor on one condition. You will be my soldier. You will undergo my training and obey me. Do you understand?" he stated.
The girl drew herself up without questioning the fact that he knew her name. " I will accept your offer, but I do not need training. I have been taking every fencing and kendo class possible since I was five. I have also taken every form of martial arts possible since I was only four. I also have a precise knowledge of every pressure point in the body." she stated proudly and defiantly.
" You will undergo my training for your powers. Not your skills." he countered.
"Powers?"
"Yes, powers that come with your armor. Now then, let us begin your training" he explained.
"Now go on and settle in one of the rooms. There will be more suitable clothes waiting for you and then we can begin."
After Ebony left to find a room, Tulpa picked up the forgotten phone. A still flashed on the screen:
Ryo Sanada
Tulpa scowled at the name and crushed the phone. Contact with the outside world would ruin his plans. However, he gained on useful piece of information. This Ebony Kiribana, whoever she was, was friends with the Ronins. The defeated lord smiled as he crushed the phone. This would make things very easy for him.
