Ronin Warriors - The Dark War
Part 1: Revival
By: Talpa
In the dark corridors of the Osaki Manufacturing Company a man in green and black sub armor was running for his life. He was Dais, the Warlord of the Illusion, former Dark Warlord under Tulpa. Now he serves the forces of light and lends his hand to help the mortal world. Hoping that he had eluded those Dynasty soldiers, Dais looked around cautiously.
He was lost somewhere in the inner sanctums of the vast network of pipes and conduits. He could easily jump to the top of the wall of the machinery and pipes but then he would risk being seen by the Dynasty's soldiers. Better to keep moving on foot and lay low.
An arrow grazed Dais's head as several other arrows flew by him barely missing their mark. Dais turned to see a mass of Dynasty troopers. "You are beginning to anger me," stated Dais. The troopers charged him. Running at full speed the troopers attempted to impale him on their spears. Dais jumped over the line of running troopers and called upon the power of his mystical armor.
"ARMOR OF ILLUSION! DOW CHI!"
Suddenly he was engulfed by the energy of his mystical armor forming around his sub armor. First
the gauntlets, which carried his nun-chucks and his morning star formed around his hands and lower arms. Then the chest plate and back plates of his maroon armor formed. Followed quickly up by the boots and leg armor. Next his helmet formed, adorned by the two horns which decorated it. Finally the six extensor blades formed on his back. Now Dais was ready for the fight.
Dais, still in the air, pulled the morning star off his right gauntlet. He swung the spiked ball outward toward the troopers. The spiked ball of the morning star did its job well, it ripped through the back armor of the attacking troopers. The troopers armor suddenly became lifeless and fell to the ground. Greenish gray mist arose slowly from the fallen armors.
Dais looked at his handy work quite pleased with himself. Now he must return and in form Kayrah of the Dynasty's presence here.
Feeling a sudden impact of intense energy on his back Dais was thrown forward. He crashed into several small steam pipes. He got up quickly and looked back to see what hit him. He could make out an armored warrior of some kind. This new warrior wore armor reminiscent of the traditional Samurai armor of Japan. He starred at Dais with a cold and unforgiving look.
"Who are you?" Dais asked the mysterious soldier.
"That is not you concern, Ronin." replied the warrior.
"Never the less you serve the Dynasty and for that you must be defeated."
"Unlike your little playmates I am no Dynasty servant," he stated pointing at the pile of soulless armors Dais had so recently dispatched, "You however, must still be eliminated."
With that closing statement the warrior raised up his hand and invoked the power of his armor. "DARK NETHER FLAME!" screamed the warrior as he extended his hand. His gauntlet was suddenly encompassed by a blue black flame which soon left the gauntlet and slammed into Dais.
Once again Dais was thrown into the steam conduits. "You'll pay dearly for that," stated Dais as he pulled the extensor blades from his back. "WEB OF DECEPTION!" The extensor blades shot forth and where ever they impacted fine white threads of energy erupted forth. Soon the mysterious warrior was ensnared in the web of energy.
"This is pathetic," commented the warrior. "SPHERE OF ANNIHILATION!"
Now a great energy field formed around the warrior and then grew encompassing more and more space. Dais jumped out of the way of the ever expanding sphere of reddish black energy. Dais, knowing that this opponent was too strong for him tapped his armor's power and used it to camouflage him self in the shadows of the pipe work.
As the sphere of energy dissipated, the warrior surveyed what he had accomplished. He was upset, his sphere of energy had destroyed everything in a thirty foot radius, but there was no sign of his adversary.
"Draka will not be pleased that I let him escape," the warrior stated before he vanished.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside a peaceful temple Kayrah, Sekhmet, and Kale waited for Dais to arrive from his mission.
"He should be back by now," Kale stated.
"Unless he ran into trouble," replied Kayrah.
"Trouble is an understatement," interrupted Dais who was returning from his mission.
"What did you find?" inquired Kayrah.
"Dynasty soldiers, and some strange Warlord."
"Another one."
"Yes, but he wasn't a Dynasty servant."
"Warlords not from the Dynasty? How is that possible?"
"I don't know."
"We must alert the Ronin Warriors."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a cool spring day. The birds were chirping and the flowers were in full bloom. White Blaze was out and about, enjoying the day. Ryo, Rowan, and Sage were practicing, Kento was enjoying a hamburger and Sai was watching some television. Mia Coji was working on her computer trying to decipher yet another ancient puzzle.
Suddenly the air shimmered and Kayrah, Sekhmet, Kale, and Dais appeared. The latter three were in their sub armor and Kayrah was wearing her original outfit.
"Hey what are you guys doing here?" Kento asked as he saw them appear.
"We fear that the Dynasty or some other evil has surfaced. We will require your help to stop it." Replied Kayrah.
"Hey, no problem the Ronin Warriors can handle anything that the Dynasty can dish out." Kento quickly called for his companions. "Hey Ryo, get the guys in here we got some problems. Sai, you better come too."
All of the Ronin warriors and the former Warlords met and began to discuss the situation.
"Now from what Dais has reported it appears that more than one enemy may actually be at work here. The Dynasty and some other dark power. We only have one name to work with currently, Draka. The question is who is this Draka and how is he connected with those Dynasty soldiers that Dais fought." Kayrah began.
"No the question is what will they --"
"Look I have seen those before!" interrupted Dais pointing to the news broadcast on television.
The news broadcast was going into detail about a wealthy businessman named Kinjiro Osaki man who was the owner of the Osaki Manufacturing Company. He was using part of his money to pay for the erection of several large monoliths which would surround the city of Toyama. Each monolith was a pillar with ancient ruins inscribed on it and adorned with a large golden crystal on top.
"Those monoliths. They belong to Tulpa."
"How do you know, Dais?" Rowan questioned.
"Because I helped him move them to this world 200 years ago."
"Any idea what they do?"
"No but Tulpa demanded that they be kept secret from the rest of the Dynasty."
"Then we have got to figure out what they are," Ryo interjected.
The Ronin and the Warlords ran out of the house to investigate these monoliths.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the darkest recesses of the Nether World sat a castle. Larger than Tulpa's ever was. It towered over a great city filled with soldiers and those others who served Lord Draka. In Draka's throne room the emperor was being briefed on the situation.
"Hail Draka," stated, Hikaro, the mysterious armored warrior who had fought Dais.
"Proceed."
"Tulpa lives, I am sure of that now."
"Interesting, explain."
"When he was vanquished by the power of the White Armor his spirit found refuge in a mortal body. In the body of Kinjiro Osaki. Kinjiro must have been a willing host, for Tulpa was far too weak to posses him forcibly."
"Intriguing. This should not hinder my plans, however it appears that we must alter them slightly."
"How so, my Lord?"
"You must begin searching for the Dark Saber, now. Hikaro, take whatever troops and Warlords you need and find the Dark Saber."
"Yes my Lord," Hikaro replied and exited to begin his search.
"The Ronin Warriors and Tulpa must be dealt with immediately before they have a chance to stop me. Yin Fang Sung come forth."
A gigantic creature entered the room. At least 100 feet long with a tail of equal length as well. His massive wings which cast a shadow over the room. The dragon lowered his head as a sign of reverence.
"Your orders, Lord Draka."
"Find the Ronin Warriors and Tulpa. Then destroy them all."
"As you wish."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the many monoliths stood on a flat plane outside of the city of Toyama. Around the monolith was gathered a prominent businessman, and several television reporters packing up after a great report. However off on the horizon appeared 9 warriors. They rushed forward to confront Kinjiro Osaki.
"Hey where did you find these Monoliths?" shouted Ryo.
"HAHAHA! So you have caught on to my little scheme Ronin Warriors, but you are too late to stop Tulpa," replied Kinjiro with his voice shifting to that of Tulpa's.
"TULPA, you're going to pay for this."
Suddenly the crystals that adorned the monoliths began to glow. In the city of Toyama the populace was beginning to feel weak and faint. The citizens were falling over unconcious, their very life essences and energy being drained away.
A greenish gray mist flowed form Kinjiro's body and formed into a vaguely humanoid shape. The mist was then engulfed by golden energy. That energy formed into armor that was the same shape and styling as Tulpa's original armor but it was golden in color. " AHAHAHAH! I have the power once more. It feels quite good to be imbued with the raw life energy of mortals. I am now stronger than ever and you Ronin will be the first to suffer at my hands. And as for you my wayward Warlords, prepare to pay the price for betrayal. I will destroy you all and then claim your armor for my own."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tulpa stepped forward ready to engage the Ronin Warriors and his former Dark Warlords in a battle to the death.
"Ronin Warriors to arms!" Shouted Ryo.
"ARMOR OF WILDFIRE!"
"ARMOR OF TORRENT!"
"ARMOR OF STRATA!"
"ARMOR OF HARD ROCK!"
"ARMOR OF HALO!"
"ARMOR OF VENOM!"
"ARMOR OF ILLUSION!"
"ARMOR OF CORRUPTION!"
"DOW CHI!!!"
Lady Kayrah simply drew her jitte and gave the mental command for the central blades to elongate forming the Star Light Swords.
Tulpa stepped forward, his massive foot making an indentation in the ground. The sky darkened and a great shadow was cast over the warriors. The nine Ronin Warriors and Tulpa looked up to see what could have caused this and behold a gigantic dragon circling overhead......
To be continued....
