Ronin Warriors - The Dark War
Part 8: Dark Reign Descending
By: Talpa
A short distance from New York City a figure clad in blue sub armor walked by a serene pond. He looked over the crystal waters and marveled at the beauty of the area. Above him loomed a now motionless Mecha suit, towering some 35 feet in the air. Turning around he could see the dark spiral clouds forming over New York. He could hear the thunder crack and see the lightning strike. He tried to push all of that away from him and just relax.
He was unsure of how he arrived hear. The last thing he remembered he was piloting that Mecha suit. Then the suit landed here and he disembarked.
As he gazed at the tranquil waters he head a voice cackle in the background. "HAHA! Well how 'ya doing. We need to have a little talk." He spun around to see who was there. Two men stood there, one in gray and one in brown sub armor.
The one wearing gray stepped forward. "HAHA. Let me introduce oursleves. I'm Craven Hawthorn and this is Kinjiro Osaki."
"Yes and?" he responded, weary of these two newcomers.
"You should come and take your rightful place by us serving master Talpa," Kinjiro stated.
"Why should I serve an evil power like Talpa?"
"HAHAHA!! Because Talpa made you what you are. Talpa got that Inferno Armor and that Mecha Knight Exo Armor that you have. So you owe him big. HAHA!"
"Talpa would only want me to cause death and destruction with this power. That is not in my heart. He shall not have it!"
"Pity. HAHAHA. Think of the carnage we could raise. And with you working for us we'd be invincible."
"I will not obey Talpa's evil commands."
"Then," Kinjiro interrupted, "hand over what belongs to us, the Inferno Armor and the Mecha Knight Exo Armor."
"So that Talpa can bring more suffering to this world. NO!"
"Fine then," Hawthorn shouted, "we get to take it! HAHA!"
"ARMOR OF DEVASTATION!"
"ARMOR OF STRIFE!"
Kinjiro and Hawthorn were covered with energy as their armor began to form. First the body formed around them followed by the gauntlets and leg armor. Finally the helmets formed.
"Two can play. ARMOR OF INFERNO!"
"DOW CHI!"
The gauntlets of the Inferno Armor formed around the figure followed by the body and helmet. Next the leg and foot armor formed around him. Finally the Soul Swords of Fervor appeared in his hand.
Kinjiro jumped back and drew his Datchi. "OBLIVION SWORD STRIKE!"
A beam of blinding energy shot forth from his Datchi and impacted with the wearer of the Inferno Armor sending him reeling back.
Hawthorn ran towards his opponent and called upon his weapons power. "FIRES OF ARMAGEDDON!"
The ground around the wearer of the Inferno Armor erupted with flame. The figure stood up and readied his Soul Swords.
"RAGE OF INFERNO!"
Searing how fires shot forth from the Soul Swords of Fervor and impacted Kinjiro and Hawthorn. They flew back from the force of the blast.
They got up but were weakened from the blast.
"Lets get him! HAHA!" Hawthorn shouted.
"No, he's too powerful. Besides we can always track him down later."
"Fine."
Kinjiro and Hawthorn put their weapons away and quickly phased out.
The figure looked to the distance at the massive spiral clouds forming over New York. He could sense the evil emanating from there. He ran to his Mecha Knight Exo Armor and gave the engage command. The front armor opened up revealing the pilots compartment. Still clad in the Inferno Armor he jumped in. The armor quickly sealed up once more.
The previously motionless Dark Inferno sprang to life. The rocket thrusters on its back and feet fired up and it was quickly airborne and heading towards New York.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the sky above New York City the dark clouds grew. They began to wrap around each other and form a massive vortex. Lightning crackled and the claps of thunder grew ever louder. The people were beginning to become frightened by this other worldly phenomenon.
From high in the clouds the booming roars of strange creatures could be heard. Ominous shadows began to form. Massive wings could be seen, accompanied by equally massive tails and bodies. "What are they?" people began to shout.
Suddenly one of the beasts swooped down from the clouds letting loose a thunderous roar. "I am Yin Fang Sung, ruler of the Nether Dragons, and your pitiful city shall submit to the rule of Emperor Draka or be destroyed.
As more of the Nether Dragons flew from the clouds the citizens began to panic. They ran for their lives from the great monstrosities. The Nether Dragons sensed their fear and toyed with them. The Dragons strafed the streets and used their fiery breath to incinerate anything or anyone they wanted.
From the roof top of one of the buildings the Dark Inferno stood watching the destruction. He raised his forearm canons and let loose several powerful blasts at the lead Dragon.
Yin Fang Sung turned and looked. "Who dares to oppose us?" he shouted.
"I do. I am the keeper of the Inferno Armor and I will stop your destruction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly the hoard of Dragons was engulfed in flames as missiles and rockets exploded around them. The U.S. Air Force was not about to allow their cities to be taken by Dragons.
When the smoke cleared the Dragons were hardly phased. They retaliated with their fiery breath. Burning and incinerating all the attacking fighters. Yin Fang Sung laughed as the mortal's toys were blown into slag. Nothing could stop the Nether Dragons from claiming this land for Draka.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dark Inferno let loose several more blasts from its forearm cannons. "Face me, Dragon, one on one. If you defeat me the city is yours, if I defeat you your forces must leave."
"Agreed little man."
The Dark Inferno's rocket boosters flared up as it took to the skies.
Yin Fang Sung reared back and breathed forth a massive cone of fire. The Dark Inferno was hit and thrown back, but not badly damaged.
"Tougher than I had expected, your death might actually provide me with a sense of satisfaction," The Nether Dragon bellowed.
The Dark Inferno flew back. Its shoulder, leg, and arm missile hatches opened. A fury of missiles flew forth heading strait for Yin Fang Sung.
The Dragon was startled. "Once is enough, you begin to bore me."
The Dragon extended his claws and the air in front of him cracked with energy causing the missiles to prematurely detonate.
"My turn," the Dragon yelled.
The leader of the Nether Dragons extended his claw. It began to be engulfed by radiant yellow energy. He turned and pointed towards the Dark Inferno and a massive blast of energy surged from his hand. The Dark Inferno dodged but the energy impacted and destroyed an entire city block.
The Dark Inferno's pilot's compartment opened and the wearer of the Inferno Armor leaped out and landed in the street.
"What, Hariel's armor?" the Dragon questioned.
"Hariel?" the Inferno's wearer muttered. But there was no time to think about that.
The Inferno Armor and the Dark Inferno Exo Armor simultaneously attacked the dragon.
"RAGE OF INFERNO!" the wearer of the Inferno Armor yelled as his swords shot forth a massive blast of energy. His attack was accompanied by several blasts from the Dark Inferno's forearm cannons.
The Dragon was hit and annoyed. He held up his right claw and a sphere of energy formed around it. The energy shot forth in every direction like a star burst impacting and cratering the whole city. The Inferno Armor was thrown back. The wearer of the Inferno Armor jumped up as the Dark Inferno Exo Armor flew to him. He landed in the pilots compartment which quickly sealed around him.
The Dragon, undaunted, unleashed his power of the elements. Gale force winds began to blow. Buildings shook and the Dark Inferno could hardly keep in control. The Dark Inferno landed on top of a medium sized building and let off several blasts from its forearm cannons.
The Dragon lost his concentration and the winds died down.
"You think it is that easy to defeat me!" Yin Fang Sung shouted in anger.
The Dragon raised his claw and it began to crackle with energy.
Suddenly the building which the Dark Inferno had landed on surged with power and exploded. The Dark Inferno, caught off guard fell downward, but expediently activated his flight system and hovered in mid air.
"Perfect," Yin Fang Sung said to himself as he let loose two more blasts of energy. The Dark Inferno crashed into one of the near by sky scrapers from the force of the impact.
"You will do no more harm to this mortal city, Dragon!" The Dark Inferno took off and flew strait towards the Nether Dragon. It let loose several barrages of missiles, witch caught Yin Fang Sung off guard and threw him back. The Dark Inferno also hammered the Dragon with continuous fire from his forearm cannons.
The Dragon fell to the ground in pain. "You underestimate my power. I will teach you the meaning of defeat." The Dragon stood up and with several flaps of his mighty wings took to the air.
"Now, say farewell to this world," the Dragon screamed.
The ruler of the Nether Dragons began to gather all his immense powers. He focused and channeled them with but one goal in mind, complete destruction.
The energy began to crackle and surge around the Dragon's body. The Dragon pulled his claws to his sides and then thrust them upwards.
The Dark Inferno stood gasping in awe as the ground began to rip apart. All over the city energy surged upward from the ground tearing it apart. Buildings fell killing countless innocents, fires erupted and the oceans began to overtake the city.
The Dragon laughed as the city was being ripped apart by his dark magic.
The Dark Inferno could not even conceive of a way to stop this, but he knew he must. He pulled the two massive pylons over his shoulders. Holding one with each hand, he flew upward to avoid the destruction. He called forth all the powers in the Inferno Armor and the Dark Inferno Exo Armor.
"RAGE OF THE DARK INFERNO!!!"
The two energy cannons sent forth massive blasts of energy, which set the skies a blaze. Yin Fang Sung screamed in agony as the energy hit him. The Dragon's dark magic began to subside. He turned gray as he fell to the ground. The edges of his wings began to disintegrate. Quickly his wings and limbs were turned to ash, followed by his body and head.
When the other Nether Dragon's witnessed the site of their leaders death the began to retreat. They flew back into the vortex of clouds, which then dissipated.
The Dark Inferno surveyed the battle field. Although he had defeated Yin Fang Sung the city of New York was in ruins, most of the population was dead and Draka had only lost one soldier in the battle. The wearer of the Dark Inferno looked down and said aloud, "This cannot be allowed to continue. Too many innocents die from the wars began by the Nether World. I must put a stop to this. No matter the cost."
The Dark Inferno turned and lifted off. His destination, Japan, where the evil entered this world.
To be continued......
