A New Beginning Part II

Narrator: The Ronin Warriors have been separated for an end-all-battle with Katie and Sarah.  Things aren't looking good for our heroes.  Will the Ronin Warriors be able to defeat their mortal enemies, or will this challenge prove to be too great?

    Katie finished spinning and the flames stuck around her body.  The flames covered all of her and only her glowing eyes were visible.  Ryo started to shift, and Katie turned to face him.  Ryo immediately laid flat.  The view closed up on Katie, the flames transparent, showing her sly smile.  Katie suddenly turned around, flames even more transparent, and she saw Kento half carrying Sai to their battlefield.  "What?!"

    Sarah appeared next to her.  "So that's where they went off too.  Don't worry, I'll take care of them; now!"  Sarah's body shot up in flames like Katie's.  She held her burning arms out in front of her, arched her body, and shot huge fireballs out at them.  They dropped to the ground and dodged.  Sarah shot another round at them.  She set the grass on fire, and sent them flying backwards.  Sarah disappeared.

    Rowen exclaimed, "That was Sai and Kento here!"

    Sage added, "So, they know where we are.  Hopefully they can make it back, and then we can beat the sisters together."

    "You won't be 'beating' anyone, ronin!" Katie yelled as she attacked Sage.  He lunged at her but she floated over his head and grabbed the spikes on his helmet.  She lifted it off his head, spun, and whacked him in the back of the head with it.  He fell to the ground. 

   "Sage!!" Rowen shot arrows at her and one shot her through the right arm.  It immediately began to drip with blood.

    "Ow," Katie said without emotion.  She dropped to one knee and ripped the arrow out of her arm.   She licked some of the blood off it, and flung it back at Rowen.  The arrow was washed clean of Katie's blood from the wind pressure of the throw.  It stuck into the edge of Rowen's left thigh.  He fell on his knees, and closed one eye.

    "I don't care who you are...ancient, demon or human...it doesn't matter.  I will kill you.  No matter what.  You don't deserve life.  Even if we were to 'save your soul' you would still need to pay for all you've done."  Rowen lifted his bow.  Sage turned his head, with his left cheek in the dirt.  He looked at Rowen with a thin line of blood dripping down his face.  He tried to speak, but found the effort a waste.  Rowen held an arrow to his bow.  Katie's eyes flashed.  "Your payment begins today..."

    Rowen shot the arrow with incredible speed.   Katie began to jump somewhat to the side.  The arrow pierced through where the previous arrow had been in her right arm.  She flew over Rowen and grabbed his helmet's point.  She lifted it at an angle, therefore lifting Rowen as well.  "And here's your payment!"  She slammed his body to the dirt, then spun around and flung him out of sight.  She flew after him and pounded him down to the ground. 

    Katie floated down beside him and raised her clasped hands out at him.  A ball of blue light began to form, and a large fireball shot out from her hands at him.  She walked around his smoking armor and took off his helmet.  She tossed it around to face her.  Rowen started to move his head and she stomped her foot on it.  She tossed his helmet to the side and smiled down at him.

    Sarah pushed Kento down, grabbed the handle on the back of his foot.  She swung him into a nearby tree.  The bark split and dead leaves fell.  Kento dropped.  Sarah stepped up on his back and punched the inside of her palm.  She looked down at him and began to float.  Sarah rubbed her hands together and they sparked as she created a fireball.

    "Super Wave Smasher!!!" Sai's attack was dodged by Sarah and she threw the fireball at him.  Sai continued his water attack against the fire and Sarah's attack was sizzled out.

    "What?!  No way!" Sarah exclaimed. "That can't have just happened!"

    "You shouldn't be surprised that your power was put out by a Ronin Warrior.  Because we will win against you!"

    "Give up the anti-pep-talk.  It won't make me weak, just give me time to power up for another round," Sarah said.  

    Sarah threw another fireball at him and he gracefully dodged it and rushed at her.  The view turned black and white with slow motion.  "Wait a minute...that wasn't normal.  Sai seems different.  More confident and-he has it!" Sarah thought to herself and the view returned to normal.  She crouched down and awaited Sai's attack.

    Sai's expression flashed as he saw the slightest smile cross Sarah's face.  "She knows..." he thought with a blast of panic.  He quickly changed direction and used a tree to kick off of to send him flying toward Kento instead.  Kento was beginning to get up when Sai rushed by him, dragging him behind.  Sarah followed.

    Katie shoved Sage away from her and blasted him with three fireballs.  Katie began to attack Rowen with her sword.  He tried to fight back with his bow.  Ryo dove into Katie's side.  Katie grabbed his wrist as she fell and propelled him into Sage, who was just about to attack.  Katie stood back and wiped sweat from her forehead.  Her vision blurred and crossed, then went back to normal.  She shook her head.  "I'm going to ask you one more time, where's the jewel of life?  Which of you has it?  Or...does Mia have it?  How 'bout Yuli?"

    "You leave them alone!" Ryo stood defiantly. 

    "Save your breath Wildfire.  You...you..."  Katie thought, "Why do I feel so strange?"  Katie was ripped back to the reality of her surroundings by arrows flying at her. She barely dodged, just as Kento and Sai ran into sight.

   "Flare up now!!!!!" Ryo attacked and succeeded in hitting Katie with it.  Katie got up slowly, yet steadily.

   "Man, these girls just don't lose their juice!" Kento exclaimed.

   "No, something happened," Rowen said, limping forward.  "Almost makes me think we might win this fight."

    "Almost," Sage said.

    Sarah appeared next to Katie and whispered something in her ear.  Sai gulped with nervous anticipation.  "What's the matter Sai?" Kento asked.  Katie and Sarah glared at Sai.

    "Act normal, normal!" Sai thought to himself.  "Act like your not hiding anything."

    Sage stared at Ryo.  Ryo began to walk toward the sisters.  He stuck his swords together at the ends.  He twirled it behind him and lunged at the girls.

    Sage said to Sai, "They know you have the jewel.  Quick, give it to me."

    "What if they keep attacking me to get it...?"

    Rowen answered, "Give him the jewel, Sai.  We can take care of it.  Don't worry."   Rowen's blue bubble formed around him and he began to float, with the arrow still stuck through his thigh.  Sai handed it over as Ryo was taken down by Katie and Sarah. 

    Sarah half whispered, "Sage..."   The girls both turned toward him.

    Sage said, "Here we go!" He began to run and Katie and Sarah followed.  They were gaining ground when Sage threw the jewel in the air.  Rowen caught it and flew.  Once again, the girls followed.

    Ryo, "Ok, we need a plan, before Rowen runs out of steam."

    Sai said, "If we can use the jewel against them, don't you think now would be a good time!?"

    Sage replied, "You would think it would have acted on it's own."

   "Yeah, that's what it's always done in the past," Kento added.

    Sage said, "Well if it only does what your heart wants, Rowen's the last person who should be holding it." Rowen swooped down and threw the jewel to Sai.  Katie and Sarah both lunged down at him.  Sai threw it to Sage, and they flew to him as he threw it back to Rowen.   Katie took him down with a hard thud.  She scrambled to get it from him, but he threw it to Ryo.

    Katie drew her sword and pointed it close to Rowen's neck.  "Don't move," she said with a sly smile.  She drew her sword back and Rowen panicked.  Katie cut a thin line on the side of his neck as she pushed her sword into the ground next to his neck.  "I told you not to move, idiot."  She did the same thing on the opposite side with her other sword so that he was trapped on the ground, unable to get up.  "I'll be back for you." Katie flew off after Ryo.

    Sarah was already close behind and Ryo quickly threw it toward Sai.  It spiraled toward him and he caught it in the air.   "I'm getting sick of this game!" Sarah yelled as she lunged at Sai.   She pushed Kento out of her way and landed on Sai.  The jewel fell out of his hand and just out of his reach.  Sarah tried to grab it but Sai held her back. "Let go!  Urghh!"  Kento was laying next to them, passed out.

    Katie flew to help her sister but was forced to stop.

    "Flare up now!!!!!!!!!"

    "Super wave smasher!!!!!!!!!"  The two attacks smashed into her and she was unable to move forward.  Sage pulled the swords that were holding Rowen away.  Sage helped him to stand.

   "Let's go for it," Rowen said, drawing an arrow. "Arrow Shock Wave!!!!!!!"

    "Ahhhh!  Thunder bolt cut!!!!!!!"

    Ryo was quickly growing tired from using his attack nonstop.  He fell to his knees, "Anubis!!  We need you!!!  Ah!"  Katie began to push through the attacks.  Anubis appeared behind Ryo and tried to lend his help. "No!  The... the jewel."

    Kento woke up and his vision began to clear.  He saw Sai and Sarah struggling nearby and he saw the jewel.  He slowly scrambled to get it.  He crawled franticly.  Sarah saw him coming closer, "Oh, no you don't!  That's mine!!!" Sarah shoved hard against Sai and reached out to the jewel.  Kento covered it with his hand just before Sarah got to it.  The background color flashed orange.

        Quick clips: Sage's hand holding the jewel with the background in green.  Rowen's hand holding the jewel with the background in dark blue.  Sai's hand holding the jewel with the background in light blue.  Ryo's hand holding the jewel with the background in red.  Kento's hand holding the jewel with the background in orange.

    The five ronin colors cover the screen and swirl together into the jewel of life.  There was an explosion that sent Katie and Sarah backwards.  They sat on the ground in shock.  There was a glowing crack in both of their armors.  (Background music=Ancient-Ascension second half-at the drum roll-starts playing)  Light grew to surround them from the bottom of the screen.  The light covered them and dissolved their evil armors.  The sisters were lifted into the air and spun around dramatically.  Their normal clothes appeared slowly on them and they were slowly let back to the ground.  The light faded and the girls were asleep. (music dies away)

    The ronin warriors all stood, staring down at the girls, who looked so normal, each wearing casual clothing, Katie with a backpack and Sarah with a gym bag. 

    Narrator: (As Kento carried Katie and Ryo carried Sarah back to Mia's house with the rest of the guys following behind.)  The Ronin Warriors have succeeded in defeating Katie and Sarah and breaking them away from the Dynasty's clutches.  Will they prove to be allies to our heroes?  Or will they take a different path?
