PART 9
When they got outside, they saw a stream of fire fly by and incinerate about fifty soldiers that had rushed in their direction. Then a person appeared covered in red completely except for its eyes. They were emerald in color.
"Mako, what are you doing?" asked Ryo with a smile as he turned around and flicked his hand.
A stream of fire shot out of nowhere and hit a small group of warriors. They fell to the ground almost immediately, but weren't destroyed.
"Protecting your butts that what! You guys didn't even bother to look where you were going did you?" she asked as she twirled around and sent a warrior flying through the air with a punch to its face.
Sage with his white armor gleaming in the sunlight smiled and said, "We're sorry Mako, we'll be more careful won't we?"
The younger Ronins nodded and began to attack. Ryo, with his red armor steaming with power from the access power that his older self and his future wife were giving off strengthening him, looked over at Makoto and was surprised to see the woman fighting in what appeared to be nylon and armor.
Since fighting the warriors was not a problem, he was able to look at her more closely. She seemed to be very bored with them as he was. Her brilliant red hair was piled up in a tight bun with a red bow tie. Her face was completely covered by crystalline nylon except for her emerald eyes and in the center of her forehead was a small quarter sized red crystal.
Around her shoulders, chest, arms, and abdomen were a ruby red armor that had flames licking off it and burned all that touched it. In her hands was a pair of katanas with red hilts. Decorating her chest plate were golden flames with a Phoenix coming out of the flames. In the phoenix's claws was the Symbol of Virtue. Around her waist was a golden lasso with a ruby red handle. Her legs were surrounded by nylon and on top of her thighs was the same ruby red armor. Her shins were protected along with her feet in the same red armor.
He smiled to himself and looked to his older self. He was laughing at the warriors as they tried to better him. He thought to himself, 'If their armors are so powerful, why do they need us?'
His older self answered with telepathy, 'because, this is the last time the Dynasty shall ever bother us ever again. It was foretold, in a prophecy, that when the Ronins of the past came to the future to help their future selves, that Sulapa and the Dynasty reign should forever end its evil because the rest of the earth's people will have been purified. Humans would no longer think such bad thoughts and commit evil deeds that allowed the Dynasty to continue to come back.'
'Oh.'
'Don't worry, you won't die.' Older self
assured him.
'How'd you…?'
'How'd I know you were thinking that?' Elder Ryo asked.
'Yeah.'
'Because I've been in your shoes.'
'What?' exclaimed Ryo slight shocked.
'In my past I met up with Makoto the same way you have. She came to us with the question of us coming to help her in the future. I've had to fight this fight once before already, only I was in your place instead of the one I'm in right now. I know you don't die because I've seen this war through the end. All of us come out of it alive, so don't worry my young friend.'
'If you say so.'
As Cye continued to thrust and stab with his trident, he came upon his future wife, Yui. Her mid length platinum blond hair was parted into three separate pieces. Each piece was braided and had light blue sparkles in it. The three pieces were then braided into one large braid with a light blue sheer fabric weaved into the overall braid. Her entire face was covered in a crystalline light blue nylon except for her light blue eyes and on her forehead in the center was a quarter sized teal blue crystal. Around her shoulders, chest, arms, and abdomen was a light blue armor that had water dripping off it and drenched all that touched it. In her hands was a trident with a blue handle and silver blades.
Decorating her chest plate was a silver wave with a Sea Serpent coming out of the waves. In its mouth was the Symbol of Trust. Around her waist was a golden lasso with a light blue handle. Her legs were surrounded by nylon and on top of her thighs was the same light blue armor. Her shins were protected along with her feet in the same light blue armor too.
He shook his head and thought, 'this seems almost TOO easy. What's Sulapa planning?'
'I don't know, but don't worry all will be fine.' Came his older selves mind voice as he continued, 'Just think about trying to outwit Sulapa and don't bother with dying Cye. You won't, TRUST me.'
'Okay, if you say so.'
As Sage cut his way through the pathetic enemy, he saw his future wife, Miaka, cutting through the enemy with easy. Since the warriors were dumb and left many openings, he was able to look her over with a careful eye. Her dark brown hair, which was down to her thighs, was braided. It was looped around her head like a crown with luminous string weaved throughout her hair. Her face was surrounded with crystalline green nylon that covered everything but her sapphire blue eyes and on her forehead in the center was a small quarter sized emerald crystal.
Around her shoulders, chest, arms, and abdomen was a green armor that had light shinning off it. The powerful emerald white light blinded all that looked upon her form. In her hands was a six-foot no-dachi with a green handle. The blade was silver and gleamed in the sunlight. Decorating her chest plate was five thunderbolts with a Dragon flying though the thunderbolts. In the Dragon's hands was the Symbol of Wisdom. Around her waist was a golden lasso with a green handle. Her legs were surrounded by nylon and on top of her thighs was the same green armor. Her shins were protected along with her feet in the same green armor.
He thought to himself, 'Why are we here? What if we do die? Then all this…'
'Don't worry,' Came his older selves mind voice through telepathy, 'you won't die. I know.'
'How?'
'Because
I've been through this fight once before only I was in YOUR
position, and MY future self was in MY position now.'
'You mean you've fought Sulapa in your past by
coming to your future like I came here to fight Sulapa?'
'Yes!'
'So your saying, that when I'm your age, my past self will come to HIS future, or MY present and I'll be in your place and he in mine!'
'Pretty much yes, now get back to fighting and make your way to the gates.'
'Yes sir!'
As Rowen jumped into the air, he watched as his arrows soared through the air and hit the soldiers. He looked to his right and saw his future wife, Korin, using her lasso. It was gold with a dark blue handle. She was whipping the enemy into tiny bits of metal. Since he was close to the closed gates, and not a lot of warriors were around, he took a good look at her. Her raven hair was pulled into a low bun with Silver Star clips in her hair. Her entire face was surrounded by crystalline dark blue nylon except for her hazel eyes and on her forehead in the middle was a small quarter sized sapphire crystal.
Around her shoulders, chest, arms, and abdomen were dark blue armor that had gray swirls on it. The swirls moved in a circular fashion, and to his surprise, any soldier that got to close to her went flying through the air. The wind currents obeyed her every thought. The winds kept the soldiers away from her. In her other hand, was a dark blue bow with a silver string. Also on her back was a silver pact with a golden arrowhead on it. Decorating her chest plate, along with what looked like a few star constellations such as Sirius Major, Orion, and the Archer, Sagittarius, was a Centaur. It seemed to be looking up into the Heavens and looking at the stars. In the centaur's hands was the Symbol of Life. Her legs were surrounded by nylon and on top of her thighs was the same dark blue armor. Her shins were protected along with her feet in the same dark blue armor.
Kento was having a ball. He loved bashing soldiers together. Since the job of defeating the soldiers was so easy, he looked to his future wife, Noriko. Her hair, which was silky black, was pulled, the top half of her hair, into a high ponytail that looped into an orange tie. The other part of her hair was braided with orange colored rose petals weaved throughout it. Her face was surrounded by crystalline orange nylon except for her hazel eyes and on her forehead in the middle was a small quarter sized topaz crystal. Around her shoulders, chest, arms, and abdomen was an orange armor.
The armor had sand crystals flying off it blinding all that got in her way because the sand got into the cracks in the enemy's armor and their eyes making it hard for them to see. In her hands was an orange ningunata with a silver blade at one end. Decorating her chest plate was a Gargoyle sitting in the sand. In the Gargoyle's hands was the Symbol of Justice. Around her waist was a golden lasso with an orange handle. Her legs were surrounded by nylon and on top of her thighs was the same orange armor. Her shins were protected along with her feet in the same orange armor. His older self stole a glance at him and smiled.
He knew his younger self was having a blast and wasn't worried about dying or defeating Sulapa. His kanji after all was justice.
He had one thought 'Good guys win…bad guys lose.'
