Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Ronins Together Again ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6

As the teenagers settle on the floor, Kayra and the Warlords move off to the side of the room. Rubbing his face, Ryo glances to the other Ronins.

“I guess I'll start,” says Ryo.

“Only fair, since you were the first on scene,” replies Kento with a shrug.

“It all started around 21 years ago when the Dynasty, a empire from another dimension, came into our world,” says Ryo.

“Another dimension?” asks Makoto.

Nodding his head, Ryo continues, “Your fathers and I were apart of a team called the Ronin Warriors, destined to save the world. We were to stop the Dynasty and save humanity.”

“`Wildfire and the other'?” asks Kira, glancing at her father.

“Our armors had names,” explains Sage. “Wildfire, Torrent, Strata, Hardrock, and Halo.” As he calls off the armor, Sage points out to the children who had which armor.

“Back then there had been four Warlords, though only these three have survived,” continues Ryo. “They served Tulpa, the master of the Dynasty.”

“Doesn't sound like fair odds,” says Hoshi, shaking his head.

“Well, we weren't alone. In the beginning, we had the Ancient One. He guided us along the path toward defeating the Dynasty,” explains Cye.

“Until Tulpa killed him,” adds Kento.

“His death wasn't in vain. By dying, he allowed us to gain entry into the castle,” says Ryo. “Though before his death, he did turn Anubis to our side.”

“Now I am totally confused,” says Nami, shaking her head.

“The short of it is, we battled Tulpa and thought we had defeated him, but he had survived the encounter,” says Sage. “There was a short time of peace, followed by a couple more battles before we even knew he was still alive.”

“Not long after finding out Tulpa was alive, three of us were kidnapped,” explains Cye. “Rowen and Ryo were the only two that remained free. Free to save us.”

“Though that wasn't the plan,” says Dais, from where he standing.

“Poor baby,” replies Kento, glancing at Dais.

“Anyway, Rowen and I saved the guys and Tulpa was finally defeated,” says Ryo, trying to move on before the situation exploded.

“So they were the bad guys,” says Makoto pointing at the Warlords and then he points in the direction of Lady Kayra. “But who is she?”

“Lady Kayra is decent of the Ancient One's line, but Tulpa had stolen her when she was a small child. Tulpa trained her to be a warrior, but in the end, Anubis was able to save her from Tulpa,” explains Rowen.

“What it sounds like is when your former master's ship was sinking, you all bailed,” says Makoto looking at the Warlords. “I guess loyalty wasn't your strong suit.”

“No, more like Anubis',” replies Cale.

“What?” asks Makoto.

“Never mind, son,” replies Cye, shaking his head. “The point is, they realized that they were on the wrong side. Tulpa did not care for their lives, only for the armor that they wielded.”

“Why didn't you tell us this all before now?” asks Nami, looking up at her father. “Why did you wait till we had been attacked?”

“Well, to be honest, we thought that life was over. We had defeated the Dynasty. We thought that we could live normal lives,” explains Cye.

“`Normal' was never meant for us,” says Sage, glancing at Cale. “We should have realized that the moment each of us had received our armors.”
