As the group of warriors made their way towards the gates, the gates opened and a man's voice was heard.

"You warriors are pathetic! You had to bring your past selves to win, correct? So, lets have some fun."

"Who are you?" asked Ryo as he stepped up in front of his younger self.

Makoto slid in beside her husband and said, "No physical fights Ryo."

He nodded and called out, "Well?"

"My armor name is Fear, that's all you need to know!"

"NOT!" called out Noriko as she said to the Ronins,

"Don't let his attacks hit you! If it does you'll fear everything! Be brave Ronins!"

"Whenever you see a Warlord, have the exact opposite feeling in your heart," added on Miaka as she continued, "And DON'T LET THEM HIT YOU WITH THEIR POWERS!"

The Ronins nodded and steeled themselves for the fight. They rushed into the gates and Fear gasped in surprise.

He teleported away before they could reach him.

"Where'd he go?" exclaimed Kento as he shook his fist in frustration.

Noriko answered, "Patience Kento, he vanished because you did what was opposite of his power. We weakened him to a point that if he was to have stayed, he would have died very painfully."

"What?" asked the ten male warriors.

Miaka answered, "We told you to have the opposite feelings in your heart when you faced the warlords, correct?"

At their nods, she continued, "Well, Fear was just here. We all had bravery in our hearts. Fear wasn't anywhere present in our minds, hearts, or souls, so he lost a large amount of energy because the one thing he need to power his armor wasn't in the present area."

"So you're saying that since we hadn't felt fear when he was here, he didn't fight us because he knew we'd win?" asked Rowen in his dark blue armor.

"Correct." Answered Korin as she added; "Now when we face off with Misery, Dread, and Evil Spirit you must have the feelings of Happiness, Optimism, and Good Spirit in you're hearts. Understood?"

They nodded and Sage asked, "Hey! Since my element is light and spirit does that mean that I have an edge over the Evil Spirit Warlord?"

"Yes Sage it does." Replied Miaka as Makoto said, "Heads up guys! Here comes the welcoming committee!"

Ryo, in his ruby red wildfire armor, put the hilts of his katanas together, and called out, "FLARE UP NOW!"

Sage raised his no-dachi high into the air, and cried out, "THUNDER BOLT CUT!"

Rowen notched an arrow, jumped into the air, and cried out, "ARROW SHOCK WAVE!"

Cye raised his trident to waist height, and exclaimed, "SUPER WAVE SMASHER!"

Kento twirled his ningunata around his head and cried out, "IRON-ROCK CRUSHER!"

Ryo, in his white armor, raised his Wildfire Swords straight above his head and as he brought them down in arcs, he cried out, "FIERY FLAMES…"

Fire surrounded the swords and as he finished the arcs, the fire flew off the swords and slammed into all the soldiers. The fire danced across their armors, seemingly not hurting them.

The soldier's laughed at that and Ryo smiled evilly.

"Why's he smiling? The attack didn't hurt them!" exclaimed Rowen.

His older self answered, "That's because the attack isn't done yet…watch."

As the younger Ronins did as told, they saw Ryo's fiery attack hit every last soldier.

Once the fire had vanished, Ryo stood up and said calmly, "Incinerate."

The soldiers suddenly burst into ruby white flames. The Ronins watched in awe as every last soldier burst into flames. When the fires vanished, the army that stood in their way was gone.

"Hey where'd they go?" asked Kento as he continued, "Even when we defeat them, the armors are left behind."

"They were incinerated Kento." Answered Makoto as she smiled and said, "Just like the attack said…Fiery Flames Incinerate."

Kento smiled and said, "Cool! What's my second attack!"

His older self smiled and said, "You'll see later on. Patience." His younger self groaned but said nothing.

"So now where?" asked Sage as he looked around the darkened landscape.

"To the castle of course!" exclaimed Kento.

"Where is it dummy?" asked Sage sarcastically.

Kento looked around and asked, "Hey! Where IS the castle?"

Kento's older self smiled, turned to Sage's older self, and said, "If you would please…?"

Sage, while pulling out his no-dachi again for he had put up during Ryo's attack, raised the weapon into the sky and cried out, "LIGHT REFLECTION BLAST!"

The sword glowed with an unnaturally bright light. The light got to be so bright that all but the three light warriors had to look away. When the light vanished, they looked towards the three warriors and saw that they were looking up. They followed the three's gazes and saw the light that had been shinning brightly on Sage's sword fly through the air. It formed into a giant ball of greenish white light and exploded into a ring of light. The ring of light expanded in all directions. They watched as the light flew for a while, but then part of the ring hit something. When the explosion of lights calmed down, they saw a portion of the new Dynasty castle.

"Wow, it was under a clocking spell." Rowen whispered in awe.
