Ch.4
the ronins
Meanwhile
a handsome boy with a muscular build and startling purple eyes tall
with pale blonde hair, a piece of which hung over his right eye,
covering it completely bolted up, causing the sheets to sliding off
of him revealing a white Oxford shirt and khakis. Sage was described
as girl-crazy and a chick magnet; Sage was the most sought-after guy
at Sakura no Han'a High. He played the flute and meditated often.
His grandfather and parents ran a dojo in Sendai where he worked
during the summer and winter breaks, but he had taken off for some
extra time to defeat Talpa. He was breathing heavily as he
subcoteusly put one of his hands to his head, his bed was a small
twin size with white sheets. A matching bed was to the left of him
wear a boy about the same age with medium- length black hair and
tiger blue eyes was staring at him with his head leaned up against
his soft hand the bed sheets falling off of his shoulder revealing
his red shirt and jeans. Ryo was an orphan and spent most of his time
at Mia's house. His mother had died when he was a baby, and his
father was killed when he was six. He was a great soccer player and
specialized in headers, and pretty good in math.
"Sage did you have a bad dream?"
Sage
stared at his friend Ryo he always seem to know when Sage would wake
up, as well as the other ronins;
These
two boys were not ordinary boy, they were two of The five Ronin
Warriors, Guardians of Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Light, Knights of
Virtue, Justice, Trust, Life, and Wisdom. Ryo was the leader and most
powerful with the red Armor of Wildfire and the white Inferno Armor.
Kento one of their closest friends held the orange Hardrock Armor and
was the strongest. The sky blue Armor of the Torrent was controlled
by Cye another close friend as well as the cook in the team, who was
the most trustworthy and dependable. The most dangerous, Rowen the
smart one of the group, manipulated the royal blue Armor of Strata.
Sage bore the green Halo Armor, and had the most powerful spirit.
Mia, Ryo's current girlfriend and the reason they had a place to
stay for the night, had become entangled with the five because her
grandfather knew the legend of the Ronin Warriors; he sent her to
help and guide them throughout the war.
A
soft throat clear caught Ryo's attention as he turned his head
towards the door way. In the doorway stood three other boys,
"Is everything ok in here?" a British voice asked, his pronunciation perfect. The boy was tall with auburn hair, deep aqua eyes, and pale skin. He was thin but muscular; dressed in a green long-sleeved Oxford shirt and black jeans
"Yeah Cye everything's fine." Sage said smiling at his friends.
Cye Mouri was the oldest of the five boys, and held himself with an air of dignity. At age seventeen, he acted more like he was twenty-five. Cye had a quiet personality and was incredibly shy. He was the one that they looked to as a big brother, a person who could always offer sane advice on anything; yet they protected him like they would a younger brother. The ocean or any water was a place where he was happiest, next to cooking over the stove.
"Really I could have sworn I heard screaming coming from the room." A boy with messy light black hair exclaimed. He had deep purple eyes and wore a gold head wrap to keep his light black hair from falling into his vision. Kento was slightly stout with tan skin as if he had been out in the sun. His passions were eating, fighting and, and most of the time that was all that he cared about. Kento and Cye were best friends, but it was more of a brotherhood. Even though exact opposites, they brought out the best in each other. Kento was definitely outgoing, but often breached into the category of hardheaded. He was stronger physically than any of the five, and good to have in a fight. His parents ran a Chinese restaurant in little Tokyo, and he had gained his sense of independence at age fifteen when he had moved to Tokyo without them.
"And what's your excuse for being up, may I ask?" Sage questioned staring at the other figure.
"Kento practically gave me a heart-attack because he said that he though he herd Sage dying." The boy replied
Rowen
Hashiba was tall with dark blue hair, piercing blue eyes, and a
slight tan. He wore a blue head wrap to keep his bangs away, even
though one stray lock fell between his eyes. He was the youngest of
the five, but also the smartest; he was declared a genius with an IQ
of over 250. Rowen was often teased because his nose was always stuck
in some book. He and Sage were best friends, though not as close as
Cye and Kento. They were the most similar, Rowen used logic to solve
everything, and it had never failed him before. His parents had
divorced when he was twelve; his father lived outside of Tokyo and
was a scientist, while his mother, an internationally journalist, had
abandoned him and traveled the world. Rowen had an apartment on the
other side of town, but stayed with others in Mia's for now.
All
eyes turned to Kento, who just shrugged,
"Hey you try getting this guy out of bed."
"Any way what did happen Sage?" Ryo asked trying to bring everyone back to the subject.
Sage just stared at the floor.
"I'm not sure it just feels like something's not right."
Cye came over and sat next to Sage,
"Like someone just made a terrible decision that somehow effects us."
Sage looked up at his friend; he was always amazed by how his friend knew exactly what to say.
Dais appeared outside a white mansion towering in the distance. It had a red roof and red shutters on its many windows, with a paved driveway leading up to the large French front doors. A balcony on the second floor curved around much of the house, connecting with many doors and windows. He was now dressed in purple samari armor
"This is the place wear they stay, a perfect place to test your skills." He said to a young figure standing in the shadows.
Dais turned his head toward the balcony,
"Ronin warriors, show your self."
The five young men ran outside to the balcony.
"What do you want you evil scum?" Ryo yelled.
Dais laughed,
"Ronins I have a challenge for, I would like the five of you to test out our new warrior."
Ch.5 The battle
A girl with long black hair pulled in a braid, and Violet eyes one was constantly covered by her long bangs. She was dressed in silver samari armor similar to Dais'.
"And just who are you?" Kento ordered.
"I am Lady Autumn warlady of the oceans and your demise."
"What makes you so different from all the others?" Rowen demanded sounding rather brave.
"I, brave one, never fail."
"Ok guys time to teach this chick what the ronin warriors are all about." Ryo commanded
"Armor of the Torrent, tao shin!" Cye called.
"Armor of Hardrock, tao gi!" Kento ordered,
both paused a moment, transforming first into their pre-battle then waiting for the familiar swirl of mystical cherry blossoms. Their legs were surrounded by armor, and then their chests as the petals moved upward. A large cluster landed in their outstretched hands, forming their helmets. As they pulled them on, their weapons formed; a yari spear for Cye and a naginata staff that split into three parts for Kento.
"Armor of Wildfire, tao Jin!" Ryo yelled, withdrawing his power ball.
"Armor of Strata, tao inochi!" Rowen shouted.
"Armor of the Halo, tao chi!" Sage ordered.
The five transformed, their armors coming to them like second-skin. Ryo withdrew his double katana blades, preparing them for battle. Rowen readied a gold arrow in his bow; Sage placed both hands around the handle of his long no-datchi sword. Cye
"Ready?" Ryo asked.
"Yes," the other four replied.
They
all attacked at once, but Dais being the smart one did his web of
deception
and
pushed them back,
While Dais took on Ryo, Cye, Kento, and Rowen Autumn took on Sage she made sure that he would get no help from the others and led him deep in the woods. She did a backflipped into a tree and took out a long golden staff,
"What is that?" asked Sage in shock
"This," Autumn replied placing it across her armored hand "this is my ocean staff and the key to your demise."
Autumn twirled her staff around her slender body and then pointed it towards Sage and shouted,
"OCEAN HURICAN ATTACK!"
A
huge pillar of water came hurling out at sage and sent him flying
into a tree, man that attack packs a punch, Sage thought to
himself.
He
pulled himself up off the ground,
"So you can create a hurricane, but how are you against light."
Sage
took out his no-datchi and held it vertically to the ground, he
concentrated his energy on his sword and it started to glow,
"THUNDER
BLOT …"
"Don't mind if I finish that for ya Blondie?"
Sage's eye widened, "What?"
Autumn then did the same thing as Sage with her staff and shouted,
"THUNDER BOLT CUT!"
She did the exact same thing that Sage intended to do to her, and sent Sage flying off his feet with the greatest force causing him to drop his sword and land about 3 feet away. Autumn put her staff away, jumped off the tree, and walked towards Sage. She picked up his fallen no-datchi, and swung it over her head.
