Return of the Dark Warlords

Narrator:  The Ronin Warriors have been failing time after time against the evil Dynasty.  The lost the great power of Hariel's White armor of inferno in a battle against the evil empress.  Now they have also lost Kento of Hardrock to the Dynasty.  Could he still be alive, and do the Ronin Warriors stand a chance of winning this battle?

    The four remaining ronins still stood looking at the sky, but now in their undergear.  White blaze was laying in the grass with his eyes closed. "What next?" Ryo asked sadly and defeated.

    "We have no choice, but to keep going," Rowen answered. 

    Sai turned toward him, looking angry, "What do you mean!  Keep going!  They probably have another trap set up for us!  And you want to walk into it!!"  Sai looked like he was trying to keep from crying.   He knelt on the ground and put his head down so that they couldn't see his face.  

    "Sai.." Sage started, but Sai began to sob.  Ryo ran over to him, angrily, grabbed him by the shoulders and began to shake him. 

    "Shut up, Sai!!  Shut up!" 

    "I can't.. do.. it.  I..*sniff* can't!   I hate..fi-..fighting.  I ha..hate it.  No more." Sai cried.

    "SAI!  SHUT UP!  SHUT UP SAI!!!" Ryo continued to yell and shake Sai.

    Sage yanked Ryo away from Sai.  "Ryo!   Stop it!  Get a hold of yourself!  Ryo?"

    Ryo went limp in Sage's arms.  Sage put him on the ground, sitting and Sage sat next to him.

    Ryo also began to cry, heavily.  "It's all MY fault!  I could have stopped them, I could have saved him!  Now, ... because of me, it's.. it's all over!" 

    "Ryo, Sai, listen..." Sage told them.   They both started to calm down a little.  They paused for a little while.  

    "What?" Ryo asked, waiting for Sage to continue, but he didn't.

    "Sage?" Sai asked.  The wind blows all of their hair a little.

    "Listen to the silence.  At first it seems so dead, but, if you really listen, a whole new world opens up to you.  A world that it's alive.  Drink in it's energy, it's power," Sage told them in his meditation voice. 

    Ryo and Sai had stopped crying and their tears began drying to on their cheeks.  They were both staring at Sage, puzzled.  They both began to giggle a little.  "Sage, hahaha!" Ryo laughed.   "You're so funny when you say stuff like that."

    "Hilarious!  Oh, hahaha!  You sound like a yoga teacher!  Alright sensei Sage. Haha!" Sai laughed. 

    Sage looks at them out of the corner of his eye and half smiles.  He stands up.  "Alright guys.  Ready to go?"   Sai and Ryo both nod.  Sage bends over and puts out his arms to help them up.   They each grabbed hold and stood up.  "Don't worry, we'll get Kento back if we stick together." 

    "Speaking of missing persons, where's Rowen?" Sai asked. 

    "He's already in the motor home," Sage answered.  Rowen was sitting shotgun with his feet up on the dashboard, reading a map, and looking impatient.  Whiteblaze was laying down next to the trailer.

    At the place where Rowen's armor power is:   "Finally!  We're here!"  Rowen jumped out of the trailer and ran into the water, smiling. 

    "He seems like a little kid here," Sai said. 

    "Lets just make sure that we don't take our eyes off each other, ok?" Sage said. 

    "Yep," Ryo agreed. 

        Later:  The water was swirling around Rowen, who was fully armored.  "Arrow Shock WAVE!!!"   He shot the arrow in the sky.  Water rushed over him (a lot like in the episode where Kayura showed up for the first time).  His face looked angry. 

    "That's the fifth time he's done that!" Sai complained. 

    "Go easy on him, I didn't gain any power in the magma layer, so maybe he won't either," Ryo told him. 

    Rowen shot another arrow shock wave into the sky.  This time, he threw his bow into the water, took off his helmet and threw that in the water too, and walked onto the beach.  His second armor disappeared.  He walked angrily to the motor home and got in.  "Stupid armor..."

        Later:  "The pinnacles," Ryo said as they pulled over at the side of the road. 

        Even Later:  Sage was standing, fully armored at the mouth of the caves.  "Why don't you want to come?  We can't split up," Sage said to Rowen. 

    "I don't like caves," Rowen said with his arms crossed and eyes closed. 

    "It's alright, Sage.  You'll be fine in there and we'll watch each other right here," Ryo assured him. 

    "You're sure?" Sage said more than asked. 

    "Oh-yeah, don't worry.  I'm sure we'll be fine," Sai said. 

    "Alright."  Sage walked into the caves. 

        In the Dynasty:   Katie and Sarah were sitting in front of a glowing orb.  The girls were watching the final battle with the Ronin Warriors against Talpa.  It was at the part where Ryo was wearing the Inferno armor.  Both Talpa and Ryo were running, watching each other.  Then they jumped at each other. 

    "Hmm, is it time to go?" Katie asked.   She turned around to look at Sarah.  Sarah was sitting on the floor in front of Kento.  Kento was sitting on a chair and wasn't moving. 

    "Yep.  Lets go.  See you later, Kento!" Sarah said as she and Katie walked out. 

    "Yeah, whatever!" Kento said. 

        At the pinnacles:   Sage was meditating in the caves.  Water was dripping.  "I must draw my energy together," he thought to himself. 

        At the mouth of the caves, Sai was watching Ryo, Rowen and Whiteblaze.  They had their eyes closed.  Sai sighed loudly and there was suddenly thunder and dark clouds covered the sky. 

    "Uh, guys?  WAKE UP!!"  Rowen and Ryo opened their eyes, startled by Sai's voice.  "The
Dynasty!"

    "SAGE!!!!!" Ryo yelled into the caves.   Sage opened his eyes to a faint noise outside that was echoing through the caves.   "Dang!!  I don't think that he can hear me." 

    "Don't bother, Ryo.  Katie was way worn out earlier.  They won't stand much of a chance against us," Rowen said.   He thought to himself, "They're too serious and gloomy sometimes.  Ha.  Gotta lighten the mood."

    "Rowen, how can you seriously say that?" Sai asked.

    Suddenly, Katie and Sarah appeared.   "Well, lets get to work, shall we?" Katie asked. 

    "You bet!" Sarah said.  Her bubble wand appeared in her hand. 

    "You think that you air heads stand a chance against us?  Think again!  ARMOR OF TORRENT!  TOU SHIN!!!"

    "ARMOR OF WILDFIRE!  TOU GIN!!!"

    "ARMOR OF STRATA!  TOU INOCHI!!!"

    They put on their full armor.  "I will never allow you to win this battle!" Ryo yelled. 

    "Too bad you don't have a say in it," Katie answered.

    "Yeah, your time's up.  It's time to meet your destiny ronin runt!" Sarah stated. 

    "Think again!" Ryo yelled as he jumped at Sarah.  A bubble came out of her wand and Ryo barely dodged it.   "Yeah-aaahhhh!"  The wand disappeared leaving the staff at its normal size.  They began to fight, Ryo with two swords and Sarah with her staff.  Rowen jumped at Katie and they began to fight.  Rowen was using his bow and Katie was using her identical swords.  Sai and White blaze looked at each other and ran in opposite directions.  The tiger began helping Ryo.  Sai helped Rowen, but that was very difficult to do.  Rowen was really working up a sweat.  He was moving very fast and almost hit Sai a few times by accident.   Sage walked out of the caves, prepared for battle.  Ryo, Whiteblaze and Sarah were locked in their positions, but watching Rowen and Katie battle it out. White blaze was biting Sarah's staff and pulling at it.  Ryo was pushing Sarah's staff at her with his swords on either side of White Blaze.

    Sage was just watching the battle to see where he could join in.  Rowen pushed Katie hard with his bow.  Katie almost fell into Sai due to the force.  Sai moved to the side and began backing up toward Sage.   Rowen punched Katie in the face and her lip started to bleed.  Then Rowen punched upward into her stomach.  Katie spit blood and fell into his hand.  He kneeled down from her weight, and turned his fist palm down.  Then he punched her into the air.  She fell right in front of Sage and Sai.  Sage and Sai just look down at her. 

    "Man, I'm glad I'm not fighting Rowen right now," Sage said. 

    "Yeah, I agree," Sai said. 

    Rowen jumped at Katie who was still on the ground.   She smiled and put her hand out in front of her and shot fire out at him.   Rowen was surrounded by the flames and screaming in pain.  He got shot in the back with one of Sarah's fireballs.  He slammed into the ground.  Sai and Sage were about to run into battle when they were suddenly caught in Dais' Web of Deception, the sticky kind (like the way it was in the series' episode when Mia was given the Ancient's staff).  They tried to break free when they were smashed with Sekmet's .......................... and Cale's .............................. 

    Sai and Sage yelled out in pain.   "What's this?" Sai said painfully. 

    Sage painfully asked, "The dark warlords?" 

    "Very perceptive Sage of Halo," a voice said. 

    "Cale!" Sage yelled.  The three dark warlords appeared in front of Sage and Sai.

    "What?" Sai said.

Narrator: In a strange turn of events, the three Dark Warlords of the Dynasty have arrived to fight the Ronin Warriors, along with Sarah and Katie.  Who will come out victor in all of this confusion? And why can't the warriors gain power where their armor was made?
