"Saber Strike!" shouted Kento.
"Yes, and he is on our side now," responded Ryo.
"What, how, huh."
"He even helped me escape from Talpa on the Isle of Mists."
"Well, the way I see it," interrupted Mia, "is that provided that he is really on our side, he would make a valuable ally."

Its a hot day in New York city. A police squad is surrounding a building. "Hawthorn. Come out with your hands up," shouted the Lieutenant. Several bullets shot forth from the top floor of the building. The police moved back. "Move in!" ordered the Lieutenant. Two officers had approached unseen from the side and were making their way into the building.
In a small room of the building the criminally insane Hawthorn looked out hoping to kill some police officers. He was wanted in 17 States for acts too horrific to describe. He didn't care that he was surrounded, he would just break out of prison again if they caught him.
The air in the room changed. It shimmered and glowed. Hawthorn looked to see a massive figure standing before him.
Hawthorn pulled his gun and let off several shots. They bounced off of the figures armor.
The armored figure stepped into the light. Hawthorn could see the six battle swords on its back and the daggers on its shins. "I am Talpa. Master of the Evil Dynasty. And I have come to make you an offer."
"It talks," Hawthorn was able to blurt out as two officers kicked down his door. "Freeze! What the..." Talpa pointed his hand at the startled officers and shot forth a force blast knocking them unconscious. "Now Hawthorn, where were we."
"I don't know what you are, but I like your style. HAHA."
"Hawthorn I have come to see if you will wear my Armor of Devastation. With it you will become immensely more powerful."
"Do I still get to inflict pain and suffering. HAHAHA."
"Most assuredly. Now accept the armor or stop wasting my time."
"How?"
"Call upon it."
"ARMOR OF DEVASTATION!"
Swirling energy engulfed him as the armor began to form. The black chest and back plates formed around Hawthorn. Then the energy coalesced into the gauntlets and shin guards. Finally the helmet formed. Hawthorn stood now wearing the full black and gold gear of the Armor of Devastation.
"Now, I have a small task for you to complete. You should find it most enjoyable."

A mile below Geneva sits the headquarters of the top secret United Nations Security Council. Currently proceedings are being held to determine what to do about the recent invasions by other worldly creatures.
Professor Nobanaga continued his speech, "You must listen to me, they are the least of your problems. I have evidence showing that --"
"Enough of your ranting professor," interrupted the chairman. "now General would you please inform us of the current military knowledge of this so called Dynasty.
Stepping up to the platform the General begins his speech. He outlines in detail the Dynasty's first assault on Toyama, their final assault where they attempted to bridge the Human and Nether Worlds. He then continued talking about the recent Dynasty attacks, their alliance with the major military weapons supplier Osaki Manufacturing Company. He also spoke about new discoveries that would provide immunities to the Dynasty's magic.
A battle hardened soldier Major Jonathan Wolfe rose and began to speak, "Since we now have the capabilities of fighting Talpa and his Dynasty, I would like permission to assemble an elite strike force to fight them back before they can gain a bigger foothold on this world."
"Granted." replied the Chairman.

In Mia's house the Ronins, former Warlords, and Saber Strike were discussing the problems at hand while the television played softly in the background.
"What are we suppose to do if we can't call upon our armors' power because they are stuck inside of the Inferno Armor?"
"I'm not sure, but perhaps --" stated Mia as she was interrupted by Sai.
"Look at this." Sai shouted pointing at the TV.
It was an emergency news announcement showing an armored warrior rampaging through downtown Tokyo. The reported continued to speak, "...the identity of this person has been confirmed as a criminal madman from the United States known as Craven Hawthorn. He is currently using some sort of super armor to go on a killing spree in Tokyo. Already 100 people are presumed injured or dead. It does not appear that the police are having any luck containing him."
"We have got to stop him!" shouted Ryo.
"But we can't without our armor," corrected Rowan.
"Could you and the Warlords stop him, Kayura?"
"No our armor still needs time to recharge after our battle with Mayu."
"Then we are going to have to get our armor back and stop him."
"Perhaps I can help," responded Kayura.
"How?"
"When I first fought you while I was controlled by Talpa, Anubis used the Ancient's staff to substitute for the powers of three of the Ronin armors. Thus allowing Ryo to form the Inferno Armor. I could try to use the Ancient's staff to reenergize your armors."
"Lets go for it."
The Ronin Warriors stood in a circle as Kayura prepared the staff. She slammed the base of the staff into the ground. The golden sphere on top of the magic staff glowed and sent out five beams of light. Each one impacting a different Ronin Warrior. When the ritual was over Kayura announced, "It is done. Try to call upon your armors."
"ARMOR OF WILDFIRE!"
"ARMOR OF HALO!"
"ARMOR OF TORRENT!"
"ARMOR OF HARD ROCK!"
"ARMOR OF STRATA!"
"DOW CHI!"
Kayura's ritual worked. The Ronin armors began to form. In a flash of light the chest and back armor formed. Quickly followed by the gauntlets. Then the leg and shin armor formed. Finally the helmets formed.
"Now, lets go and stop that madman."

On the Isle of Mists soldiers were already at work building Talpa a new palace. In the inner chambers Talpa spoke to Kinjiro.
"My Nether Spirits are unable to corrupt the Inferno Armor. The essence of good still flows within it.
"I have an idea, after doing some research I have discovered a way to dampen the human emotions that the Ancient put into the armors.
"Then by all means purge the Inferno of the pitiful essences so I may claim it."
"That would not be advisable, my lord. The Inferno Armor could possibly overcome my dampening fields which would be very harmful to you."
"Then what do you suggest?"
"I propose encasing the Inferno Armor in a Mecha Knight exo suit, which would house my dampening devices. Then if I may use the three Jewels of Power, the Inferno's power will be increased exponentially. As an added protection your Nether Spirits would infuse as much evil power into the armor as possible."
"An excellent plan Kinjiro, the Ronin Warriors will be crushed at the hands of my Dark Inferno. And then I will crush Draka. MUHAHAHA!!!"

In the desolated streets of Tokyo Hawthorn was still on his rampage. Destroying everything in his path.
As Hawthorn Raised the Sword of Devastation for a swipe at an old lady, several golden arrows slammed into the ground in front of him.
Hawthorn jumped back, and looked to see his attacker. "So you finally got around to droping in on me for a visit, Ronin Warriors."
The five Ronin Warriors jumped into the fray to face Hawthorn.
"FLARE UP NOW!" shouted Ryo, wasting no time in calling upon his armor's special move. Hawthorn braced himself and blocked Ryo's attack.
"Is that the best you pathetic Ronin Warriors can do. Here, let me show you how to fight. HAHA!"
Hawthorn leaped towards the Ronin, sword in hand. Kento jumped out of his way. Ryo swung his twin katanas, but Hawthorn blocked with his gauntlet. He swung his massive sword at Ryo knocking him twenty feet back.
Kento stepped back and began to call upon the power of his armor as Sai hit Hawthorn in the back with his spear. Hawthorn grabbed Sai's spear and used it to hurl Sai into a nearby car. Rowan and Sage jumped back to relative safety.
"IRON ROCK CRUSHER!" The street began to crack and split. Pieces of it as well as Hawthorn were thrown up. Hawthorn crashed into the ground but quickly picked himself up.
"My turn!" shouted Hawthorn.
"FIRES OF ARMAGEDDON!"
The ground erupted with fire as Hawthorn stood there laughing. The Ronin were knocked back and beginning to feel the effects of this battle.
On the roof top of a building Kayura, Saber Strike, and the other former Warlords looked at the ensuing battle.
"We have to help them whether our armor is at full power or not," stated Dais.
"To Arms!" Shouted Kale.
The Warlords jumped from the building to the street. While they were in mid air they called upon their armor.
"ARMOR OF ILLUSION!"
"ARMOR OF VENOM!"
"ARMOR OF CORRUPTION!"
Kayura stayed in her usual outfit and drew her Starlight Swords. Lord Saber Strike in full armor gear pulled his Swords of Light from their sheaths on his back.
"HAHAHA! Welcome to the slaughter boys and girls. Who's first? HAHAHA!" Screamed Hawthorn as he noticed the descending Warlords.
"This ends now!" shouted Kayura leaping at him with her swords.
Hawthorn blocked and knocked Kayura back with a powerful punch.
"SNAKE FANG STRIKE!"
Hawthorn braced himself and blocked the attack. "Oh, please. He muttered."
"Hit him hard! Now! STAR SWORD SCREAM!" shouted Kayura.
"SNAKE FANG STRIKE!"
"WINGED ANGEL OF DEATH!"
"BLACK LIGHTNING SLASH!"
"WEB OF DECEPTION!"
The combined power from the Warlords attacks left Hawthorn weak. He struggled to get up. "You haven't beaten me yet," he mumbled weakly, falling unconscious to the ground.
The Warlords rushed to the aid of the fallen Ronin. When everyone's wounds were attended to they looked at the destruction and suffering caused by Hawthorn. Blocks and blocks of Tokyo were decimated.
The air grew cold.....
To be continued....
