Ronin Warriors - The Dark War
Part 4: The Dark Saber
By: Talpa
"Tell me what I want to know!" shouted Hikaro as he held the elderly monk by the neck.
"Never."
"Mayu, remedy this problem," Hikaro commanded as he threw the old monk at Mayu's feet.
Mayu one of Draka's human female warlords looked at the monk with contempt. She raised the palm of her hand to his forehead and chanted, "The mind broken, the will destroyed." The monk's eyes became blank an emotionless.
"Now you pathetic little creature tell me the location where I might find the Dark Saber." The monk emotionlessly stated how to find the Isle of Mists and where on the isle the Dark Saber was located.
"Time to go, Mayu," Hikaro said.
"Not so fast," shouted a voice in the distance. Lady Kayura and Talpa's former warlords ran to confront Hikaro. Each of them clad in full battle armor, weapons ready.
"DARK NETHER FLAME!" Hikaro's hand shot forth a searing blast of blue black fire. Dais was slammed into a tree by the force of the blast. Hikaro looked at Dais, "well I see you've brought you little friends to back you up."
"Nice to see you again too." Dais removed the morning star from his right gauntlet and swung it at Hikaro.
"QUAKE WITH FEAR!" yelled Lady Kayura, the weighted end of her Kursari Gama slamming into the ground. Suddenly A flurry of chains erupted from the soil ensnaring Hikaro as they anchored themselves into the nearest objects.
"Give it up we have you surrounded and ensnared." Stated Sekhmet raising his swords of venom.
"You think I am some weakling," challenged Hikaro, "SPHERE OF ANNIHILATION!" Energy surged from Hikaro's body. The ground was ripped apart by the reddish black energy. The chains that held Hikaro were disintegrated as the energy rushed outward. Kayura and the former warlords were sent hurtling back by the shock wave.
Hikaro surveyed the field where his enemy lie fallen. "Come Mayu, our work here is done," he stated, pleased with his work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An island shrouded in mystical fog lies hidden off the coast of Japan. It is here that a group of warrior monks, guard the lost relics of the Nether World. While they knew that hiding the relics would keep them from the hands of evil and thus protect the mortal world, none of them could have conceived the anguish that their actions would eventually lead to.
A massive boat hovers over the island. Hikaro and Mayu disembark accompanied by a company of Draka's finest soldiers. Hikaro surveys the Island. He points to the large central fortification, "That castle, there lies what my master seeks. Soldiers attack." With that one simple command Draka's minions begin their assault on the castle.
Hikaro and Mayu disembark and walk past the ensuing carnage. Through the main gate and into the halls of the castle. As they walk deeper and deeper into the ancient castle they notice the decorations that line the hallways. The armor of Saranbo, the armor of Sun Devil, the armor of the Sand Strikers, the armor of Dala.
"There," shouts Mayu, pointing to a sword hanging on the wall.
"The Dark Saber," states Hikaro as he moves to pick it up.
Hikaro picks up a large sword, still in its ceremonial scabbard. "Soldiers, return to the ships we have what we want, we shall leave immediately," Hikaro commands. The soldiers begin to retreat and board the ships. Hikaro and Mayu exit the castle paying no mind to the legions of fallen monks which litter their path.
A lone monk hides in the corner hoping not to be seen. He knew that he was probably the only survivor of Hikaro's invasion. He must not be killed, he was the only hope for the survival of his clan and their mission.
Hikaro and Mayu walk past the entrance way and prepare to board their air ship.
"Leaving in such a hurry!" A voice shouts.
Hikaro looks to see Kale and the other former warlords in full armor gear. "You pests again!" Hikaro shouts.
Mayu calmly walks forward to engage the warlords. The tension builds, each side waiting for the other to strike first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a deserted, ruined castle in the Nether Realm sat a warlord meditating intensely. He was surrounded by small ceremonial flames and shrouded in darkness.
"Talpa is gaining strength again," states the warlord.
"You must stop him," responds a ghostly voice.
"How?"
"You were my best student, now it is up to you to take up my quest where I left off. You will take my armor, my title, and my name. You shall go to the Isle of Mists and select a suitable weapon for yourself. The monks have agreed to grant you access. You will then find those who have defeated Talpa in the past and help them."
"Who are these people who have fought Talpa and lived?"
"The Ronin Warriors."
"That is a great honor, to fight in your name. I am ready."
"My spirit will be with you."
Energy crackled around the warlord as he rose to receive his gift. The body armor formed around him. Followed By the arm and leg armor. Finally his helmet formed.
"Arise Lord Saber Strike."

Sekhmet draws his swords of venom and attacks. Mayu dodges gracefully. "SNAKE FANG STRIKE!" Sekhmet yells as he calls upon his armors power. His arms divide into six as he charges toward Mayu. Mayu leaps over him, her black hair fluttering behind her, and lands behind the Warlord of Venom. Sekhmet spins around both swords extended, trying to strike Mayu after she dodged his first attack. Mayu, one step ahead, ducks and sweeps Sekhmet, knocking him over.
Kale leaps at Mayu, slashing at her with his clawed gauntlet. Mayu dodges by hair. Kale pulls his Dachi from its sheath and strikes at Mayu's head. Mayu pulls her sais and blocks Kale's massive sword. The two struggle to see who has greater strength as Kale tries to break Mayu's block. "Enough," yells Kale, leaping back, "BLACK LIGHTNING SLASH!" Bolts of black energy surge toward Mayu. She holds up her sais in defense. The attack hits only to be absorbed by her sais.
Sekhmet strikes at Mayu from behind. She grabs his arm and forces him to drop his sword of venom. Mayu follows up by roundhouse kicking Sekhmet in his head and then kicking him in the back.
As Mayu is preparing to attack Sekhmet again, the floor falls from under her. The air becomes black. "What is happening here," she screams, terrified to be loosing control. Blades from the darkness try to hit her from every direction. "An illusion," she thinks to herself, as she concentrates her power. Focusing her mystical energy she breaks the illusion.
Dais seizing this opportunity, hoping that Mayu will be disorientated by his illusion, uses his nun chucku to attack. Mayu's reflexes are still just as sharp and she grabs his nun chucku and pulls them too her. Dais not expecting her to use his attack to her advantage is pulled with them. Mayu grabs Dais' arm and throws him into Sekhmet.
Kayura prepares to face Mayu. She readies her Kursari Gama. "QUAKE WITH FEAR!" Kayura screams as the weighted end of the chain crashes through the ground.
"Is that suppose to hurt." responds Mayu, leaping into the air and readying her sais. "SPECTRAL ENERGY DRAIN!"
Dark blue energy erupts from the ground and strikes the former warlords. Their armor gear begins to fade and within seconds they are left wearing only their sub armor. Seconds later they are collapsing to the ground unable to move.
Mayu and Hikaro board the sky boat and leave the Isle.

High above the battle field one of Talpa's Mecha Knights observes and reports what he sees to his master.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kinjiro ready your Mecha Knights, we will take the Isle of Mists immediately." Orders Talpa.
