Inferno's End

Narrator:  Sai defeated the Warlord of Ice, but was that the last that they'll see of the Dynasty?

   At the Date Dojo:  Sage and Ryo are wearing kimonos and are barefoot.  Sage has a light purple top with a green bottom.  Ryo's is completely white.  They both have black wrist bands on (I think that they're weights).  Sage has one sword and Ryo has two.  They are sword fighting.  Then Sage knocks one of Ryo's blades out of his hand.  They continue fighting.  Ryo brought down the sword at Sage but he moved out of it's way, slid around behind Ryo and put his sword to his neck. 

    "Ryo, you have to anticipate my moves better," Sage told him.   Sage walked over to a closet, put his sword inside and pulled two rolled up towels off of the shelf. "Here," Sage threw a towel to Ryo and the both began to whipe the sweat from their faces and necks.

   "I did figure out your move, a little too late though," Ryo said. 

    "Ryo, do you really think that the Dynasty is gone?" Sage asked. 

   "Of course they are.  Don't worry, if they're not gone, we'll just crush them with inferno!" Ryo said with his left hand in a fist.   Sage half smiled. 

    "You mean you'll crush them with inferno," Sage said, smiling.  He began putting away Ryo's swords.

   "Oh, come on!" 

    "What, it's true!   You do need our powers to pull it off, but once you have our powers, we're useless.  We just stand back and watch.  We can't do a thing."

    "What are you talking about?"

    "I know that everyone else feels the same way, but they would never admit it."

    "Hmm."

    Sage's grandfather walked into the dojo, "Sage, phone."

    "Oh, Ryo, excuse me for a minute?" Sage asked.

   "Yeah, sure," Ryo said.  As soon as Sage left the dojo, he said, "That guy's a little too proper sometimes." 

    Sage walked back in after a second, "That was Rowen, he said to meet him at Mia's, and to bring luggage."

    Ryo's eyes got wide with excitement, "Your moving back in!" 

    At Mia's house:  Rowen, Sai and Kento are sitting in the living room.  Rowen is wearing his blue shirt with the green collar and white jeans.  Sai is wearing a light blue t-shirt and white jeans.  Kento is wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt with white jeans.  Just then Sage and Ryo walk in the door.  They are stil wearing their kimonos, but now they are also wearing (Japanese style) sandals and socks.

   "Great, your here," Rowen said.

    "What's this all about?" Ryo asked. 

   "Sage proposed to me last night that maybe we should move in together again due to the last Dynasty encounter.  I told him that I thought it was dumb, but not anymore," Rowen said. 

    "What changed your mind?" Ryo asked. 

   "I felt like I was being watched this morning.  When I turned around, I heard a noise, like they were trying to hide, but I didn't see anyone.  I was in the middle of a field, there was no way someone could have hid," Sai said. 

   "Unless they were a Dynasty flunky.  They could have just beamed themselves somewhere else," Rowen added.  "You were right, Sage.  The Dynasty's getting smarter."

    "Well, he could be wrong, couldn't he?" Ryo asked.

   "That's always a possibility, but, just to be safe," Rowen said.  Sai and Kento nodded in agreement.

    In the Dynasty:  Katie is standing in full armor in the castle.  She has her eyes closed, looking calm.

    Short, chopped clip of episode 6:  Yoja, Warlord of ice attacks and so does Sai, with his Super Wave Smasher.  Yoja is defeated.

    Katie opened her eyes. "Yoja lost, Sai got stronger, the ronins moved back into Mia Koji's house, WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG!!!  That's the LAST time I rely on other people!  I had a PERFECT PLAN!"   Katie went back to looking calm. "That's ok. The plan has changed," Katie said, smiling evily.

    "So, what's the new plan?" Warlady Sarah said, she had just entered the room that Katie was in. 

    "You'll see."

    At Mia's house: Kento is at Mia's table, eating of course.  Eating chips, a sandwich, milk, chocolate bars, pickles and CEREAL (very odd combination)!  Sai is sitting across the table from him with his head on the table, he appears to be sleeping.  Rowen is in the living room on the sofa, reading.  Ryo is sitting on the floor, leaning against the sofa, writing something.  Ryo is now wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans.  

    "Where's Mia?" Ryo asked.

    "Shopping," Rowen said. 

    "Oh."

    Sage walked into the room.   He's now wearing a light blue t'shirt and white jeans.  He's carrying a plate of cookies and puts it on the table in front of Rowen and Ryo.

    "Here, I saved these from Kento."  Sage looks up suddenly.  

   "Thanks," Rowen said as he picked up a cookie, not even looking up from his book.  Sage walks over to the window.  Suddenly, the window brakes with blue fire behind it.  It slams into Sage.  As he's being pushed back from the force, his shirt shreds and burns.  Glass is flying everywhere.   Sage hits the wall and causes a crack in it.  Then he slides down to the floor.

    Kento and Sai run into the room, looking confused.  Ryo and Rowen are still sitting, but are staring at Sage, shaking.  Sage groans a little.  He has a bunch of cuts that are bleading from the glass and one big cut. 

   "Oh, man, what happened?!" Kento asked. 

    Rowen and Ryo were still wide-eyed.  Rowen's mouth was moving, but no sound was coming out.  Just then blue fire came through another window, a few feet from Kento. 

    Kento looked out a window, "Man!  The DYNASTY!" 

    The four of them nodded and put their first armor on as they ran out the door.  Ryo jumped through a blasted out window.  Then blue fire slams them against the front of the house.  Empress Katie is in the front yard, and she looks very mad and focused.  White Blaze jumped at her, but she quickly moved out of the way and lunged at Ryo with her swords.  Ryo ducked and one of Katie's swords slammed into the side of the house.  Ryo started running down the street.  Katie immedietly followed.  Since Katie's much faster, she jumped over his head an landed right in front of him.  He barely kept from running into her.  Katie kicked him and he fell back to where he had started running from.  

    "Man, she is juiced-" Ryo barely finished saying before being bashed with her fire.  Ryo put his arms in front of his face as a sword was coming at him.  He rolled away a little.  Kento ran towards Katie.  Katie turned towards him.  His expresion hardened.  Katie jumped at him throwing her swords down.  He tried to dodge her but he didn't move far enough over.  She grabbed on to his arm and threw him over her head.  He fell onto the balcony of the house.  

    Sai jumped at Katie, but she ducked and he flipped over her head.  Rowen tried to kick Katie in the back of the knee, but she flipped over his head.  Ryo jumped at Katie next...

   In Mia's house:  Sage is still on the floor with his eyes closed. 

   Back outside, the four guys are armored up. "FLARE UP NOW!!!" Ryo threw the attack at Katie.  She jumped out of it's way.  Rowen began shooting arrows super speed.  Katie dodged them all, except for the last one which she caught and threw back at him.  He moved his head out of the way.  

    In Mia's house:  Sage's head is facing the floor.  His eyes open halfway.  "Ronins," Sage said weakly.  His virtue appeared on his forehead.  "Wisdom."

    Back outside, Ryo is on the ground.  One of his swords is stuck in the ground and the other is still in his hand.  Kento is next to him, also on the ground.  White Blaze is standing next to Rowen.  Rowen looks awful and Sai is semi beat.  "What are we going to do?" Rowen asked.  

    "I don't know.  Huh, what's this?!" Sai said.  The four armors started to glow.   "Trust."

    "What?!   Life."

    "Justice."

    "What's happpening.   I'm being healed!  Virtue."

    On the balcony:  Sage is standing with his back facing the battle, in his undergear with his Halo sword in hand.  His sword is glowing.  He turns his head toward Katie.  All of the Ronins begin standing up.  

    "Did he do that!  How, he shouldn't even be fighting," Katie said to herself. 

    Sage turns completely around.  His sword disappears and he calls his armor, "ARMOR OF HALO!! TOU CHI!!"  When his armor is on completely, he jumps down to the other guys.   He lunges at Katie.  They lock swords and he flips over her.  A green ball of energy forms around him. 

   "It's inferno time!!" Rowen yells as he gives up his energy. "It's the only way!   She's so strong."

    Everyone's energy went into Ryo. "ARMOR OF INFERNO!!!"  White Blaze jumped over him and Ryo took the swords out.  "It's over Katie!" Ryo said.  Katie smiled evily.  "RAGE OF INFERNO!!" 

    "FIERY SCREAM OF DEATH!!!" Katie attacked too.  Their powers smashed together.  The force was so strong that her tiara flew off of her head, and the ribbon flew out of her hair.  Katie and Ryo both looked like they were pushing their limits, but, Katie yelled a little and her power went right through Ryo's.  The fire in Katie's attack hit Ryo and the inferno armor blasted into bits, leaving Ryo in the wildfire armor.   Ryo's eyes went wide as the inferno was broken. 

   "What!?  Why, how!! NO!" Ryo yelled.  He fell to his knees and picked up a piece of inferno.  

   All of the ronins were wide eyed.  Katie fell to her knees, breathing hard.  The ronin's powers returned to them from the bits of inferno.  "She destroyed the armor?" Sage asked. 

    "Yeah, there's no doubt about it," Rowen said.  Sage gripped his sword hard in his hand.   The pieces of inferno disappeared.

    Sage lunged at Katie.  She looked up and seemed to hold her breath.  He brought his sword up above his head.  As he was bringing it down at her, he suddenly stopped.  The view closes up on Katie's eyes.   She looked very frightened.  Sage sees a few choppy memories:

    The first memory (there is absolutely no sound in these memories) is in the Date Dojo:  Sage is handing Katie a bamboo sword, and she looks at it like it's the coolest thing she's ever seen, and her mouth moves but you can't hear what she's saying. 

    The second memory is still in the Date Dojo: Katie and Sage are sword fighting, and it's obvious that he's going very easy on her.  Sage starts laughing a little at her.

    The third memory is in the United States, in Albany, NY:  Sage is about 5 years old.  He's holding his mom's hand and she's talking to someone, who is holding Katie's hand (she is four years old).

    Sage stood up straight and brought his sword to his side.  He looked confused, yet sure, at the same time.  Katie fell on her side as she passed out, and then she was surounded by a pink light and disappeared. 

    "Sage, why'd you stop!!" Kento yelled. 

    "I remember her."

    "Yeah, we've fought her before, remember!  Are you going CRAZY?!!!" Kento said. 

   Narrator:  More questions are left unanswered.  Was the armor of inferno really destroyed, or was it just a trick?  And were Sage of Halo's memories also a trick?  Find out on the next episode of Ronin Warriors.
