11. Assault on the Dynasty
11. (Cast Down The Evil Magic Gate)
    Talpa has created four large red  "gates" around Shinjuku that allow him to draw power from his own dimension. These gates are also the only entrance into the Dynasty so he is protecting these gates well. The Ronins are still shocked by the discovery that the Warlords are human and not spirits possessing armor. Also, they are confused about the Warlords's armor and how it connects to their own Ronin armors.
    When they return to Shinjuku, they find themselves in a deserted city shrouded by a thick fog. They all know it was created by Talpa to confuse them. They wander around looking for a way into the Dynasty until they confront a wall made out of black fog. Kento laughs and says the wall couldn't keep a mouse out, let alone the mighty Ronin Warriors. He starts to run through but is stopped  by the others. Cye pushes a mini van and Kento gets in. The van rolls in, with kento inside. Kento sits there, wondering if anything will happen when suddenly he is under attack by "strands" of wind energy. He is thrown out by the strands and is trapped under the van and is saved by his teammates. The strands fly out from the wall of fog and attack everyone and the gang makes a run for it.
    Talpa senses their attempted entrance and sends Dais to stall the Ronins. The Ronins, Mia, and Yuli are waiting when a strong wind suddenly appears and it that blows away the thick fog, revealing to their startled eyes the presence of the four gates that Talpa has created. As they look at the gates from a rooftop, the five decide that it will be too dangerous to allow Mia and Yuli to follow them through the gates. The five agree that Ryo should be the one to tell Mia and Yuli.
    Kento pushes opens one gate and  Ryo tells Yuli and Mia to stay behind. Yuli doesn't want to and he grabs Ryo's hand, trying to convince Ryo that he won't be a nuisance. *Yeah, right...*  Ryo actually slaps Yuli and tells him he can't. Yuli runs away and is chased after by Mia. Ryo sends White Blaze to watch after Mia and Yuli. The Ronins walk through the gates and Kento closes them.
    They hear Dais's laughter and his voice, taunting them. They go after him, only to find themselves immediately under attack by more mystic winds. The winds are created by the Nether Spirits playing their flutes. Dais taunts them and tell them to bring forth their mystical armor and the Ronins comply. They call their armors but their armors won't come to them. They are all in shock and Dais continues laughing. The Ronins realize the flute music from the Nether Spirits are blocking their armors. Dais then attacks and manages to catch all the Ronins with his web.
    Outside the gates, Mia find Yuli by her Jeep and they talk. Yuli realizes that Ryo didn't mean to hurt them. Suddenly, White Blaze senses the Ronins' danger so they all run back to the gate. From as distance, we see a large spider web with the Ronin Warriors all cocooned like flies. Dais is hanging upside and he is laughing at the Ronins's helplessness. Mia and Yuli run though the gate but the Nether Spirits push them back out. Suddenly, a light appears and the Ancient's staff floats down and Mia catches it. Mia, carrying the staff, walks through the gates again but this time, the staff protects them from the Nether spirits.
    Dais sees the intruders and throws his morningstar at them. Mia thrusts up the staff and it chimes, reflecting the morningstar and driving away the Nether Spirits. The Ronins are able to call up their armor. Ryo uses his sure kill and the power of his Flare Up Now!  penetrates the floor of talpa's throne room and it blows away Dais in the process.
    Talpa curses the success of the Ronins and that they made it inside the Dynasty. Ryo apologizes to Yuli, who accepts with a smile.

12. Shallow Darkness
12. Seiji! Darkness of the Life and Death Struggle!
    The Ronins, Mia, and Yuli are walking down the street when Yuli sees a shop selling skateboards and remembers his parents. He fights tears and runs ahead of the team, saying that they need to rescue his parents. Mia runs after him as  White Blaze growls, indicating danger. The Ronins become alert and  several Dynasty soldiers burst through windows in the stores around them.
    Sage and Ryo scream for Mia when they realize the two are unprotected and away from them. Mia and Yuli are facing the the danger, too. White Blaze defends them and they all run down into the subway, seeking safety. More soldiers chase them and they realize that the soldiers are everywhere. Rowen manages to save them again with the other Ronins following. Inside an underground parking lot, the Dynasty activates the cars and trucks in to try and run them all down. Ryo, Cye, and Kento  smash up some cars, then Ryo takes Mia and Yuli and runs while Cye and Kento finish the job.
    Ryo is ambushed and he tells the other two to run for it while he covers them. Mia and Yuli run, leaving Ryo behind and they cross train tracks when a train comes tearing down the rails, after them They escape the first one themselves, but they fall onto the second track and a second train comes. They look and scream and suddenly, Sage appears and scoops them p and they all hang from a beam. Sage thinks to himself that Talpa used Mia and Yuli to split the five Ronins up. he also can't fight if he has to protect Mia and Yuli.  After the train is gone, they find an airduct to crawl down but when they try to come up to street level find themselves surrounded by the enemy once more.
    Elsewhere, the other Ronin Warriors are in full armor and are battling Dynasty soldiers. They also wonder where the others are but they don't dwell on it for more soldiers appear. Sage decides it's time to call up his own armor and fights but a nearby building collapses on them. They barely escape being crushed by falling debris and they all run into the subway again. But they are not safe when the menacing voice of the Warlord of Corruption, Cale is heard. cale is  Sage counterpart since Cale is the Warrior of Darkness while Sage is the Warrior of Light.
    Cale laughs at them and challenges Sage to combat. Mia and Yuli take cover as the two  go at it. Cale fights well and  Sage finds himself losing the battle. His sword of Halo is losing power as cale's sword sucks up the light in the surrounding area. Sage can't use his sure kill because he can't see in the darkness and he might hit Mia and Yuli if he misaimed. Cale is taking advantage of his dark powers and beating the crap out of Sage. Cale uses his sure kill, "Black Lightning Slash" twice and paralyzes Sage.
   Yuli picks up the staff that Mia has dropped and throws it at Cale in a desperate attempt to help his friend. The staff's power disperses the warlord's power. Cale is mad at Yuli's foolish attempt and he strikes at Yuli. Sage gets mad and finds the power in is armor restored and he defeats Cale. Sage thanks Yuli and Mia and they wonder about the others and their safety.

13. Fate of the Ronin Armor
13. Mystic Armor's True Nature
    Kento is wandering around, alone and hungry, when he hears footsteps approaching. he tenses up and we see Rowen of Strata. Kento is relieved but then he gets suspicious if Rowen was real and not an enemy. *smart thinking. Finally catching on to Dais's tricks* Rowen answers he doesn't know but Rowen knows Kento is real because he could hear his stomach growling a mile away. Kento smiles and says it wasn't his fault.
    Talpa is having another meeting with the Dark Warlords and sends Dais to trick Kento of Hardrock. Dais is to manipulate and cause doubt in Kento of Hardrock's mind and  Dais leaves, happily, to carry out his orders. Below, Kento and Rowen face killer subway trains racing towards them on both tracks and they jump upward to escape. Kento lands on top of one train, but Rowen leaps up high enough to grab a pipe in the ceiling. Rowen wonders why he wasn't attack and then it dawns onto him that the Dynasty was after Kento.
    The train carries Kento away from Rowen and Kento discovers that the whole train is filled with Dynasty soldiers. The soldiers start punching and slicing the roof trying to hit Kento when Kento gets inside and beats them all up. He was busy fighting the soldiers to notice the the train runs full speed into a bunch of rubble blocking the tracks. Kento is thrown forward from the roof when he seems to disappear from our world and time, and finds himself in a hot, parched landscape where two samurai-led armies are fighting each other. Kento believes he's been thrown back in time for a moment. He hears talpa's voice and then sees an army approaching, then the four forms of the four Dark Warlords rise out from the ground before him.
    Talpa claims that the Ronin armors all belonged to him originally and that the Ancient One has stolen it from him. Talpa then tells Kento to join the Dynasty since the origins of his Hardrock armor were evil. Then the forms of the other four Ronins rise out of the ground as well.  Kento refuses after hearing enough. Then the forms of the Ronins attack, and will not stop despite Hardrock's yelling. Kento is forced to fight and he strike them all them. As he bends over the Wildfire armor, wanting to know if Ryo is all right, the form turns in Dais, Warlord of Illusion.
    Dais attacks Kento and messes with his mind as Dais projects an image of Kento as a Dark Warlord leading one of Talpa's armies. Dais shows more illusions, emphasizing that the Ronin armors were evil and that they would be glorious if they work for the Dynasty. Dais attacks and Kento of Hardrock fights back, causing Dais to retreat. Kento is now experiencing a massive amount of self-doubt and is uncertain of himself. Kento is haunted by the vision of himself as a Warlord as Talpa's voice taunts him, telling him that even when fighting against Talpa, the destruction his anger has been Talpa's favor. His doubts about himself block the armor from himself. Dais is very pleased with himself.
    Talpa decides that Anubis will be the next to face the Ronins and Dais is enraged when he did such a good job. As the episode ends, a vision of Anubis in the lava pits in the lowest level of the castle, screaming in pain as the Nether spirits float above him and send waves of energy and lava at him.

14. Armor of Life
14. Shuten, Spirit Torn by Inner Strife
    Deep inside the Talpa's castle, Anubis, Warlord of Cruelty is being tortured by the Nether Spirts under Talpa's supervision.  The Nehter Spirits intensify their energy and something inside Anubis snaps and he absorbs the energy and blows away lava and Nether spirits's. Talpa's plan ahs been successful for now Anubis is charged with power.
    Sage, Mia, and Yuli have found a desert amusement park and sudden;lly the rides start up oon their own. Dynasty soldiers have come to attack them. Ryo and Cye arive to help fight but they are forced into the subways once more. Rowen and Kento are already inside. Kento is acting strange and is very quiet. Dais's games with him have made him doubt himself, and his reasons for being a Ronin Warrior. He is afraid he may give in to Talpa and his offer of being a warlord.
    Then they hear distant metallic footsteps approaching and it is Anubis, the warlord of Cruelty. Anubis is somewhat insane from all the torment Talpa has put him through. The other Ronins see that Anubis is human and that is isn't a spirit. This doesn't help as Kento starts to doubt himself even more. When the other Ronins armor up, Kento doesn't and when the others tell him to, it doesn't come to him. Anubis starts pounding everyone but distantly ignoring Kento. Kento feels like giving up while Anubis pounds his friends.As Sh'ten prepares to dispatch Ryo, Yuli tries to help save Ryo by mounting White Blaze and attacking Anubis but is backhanded and sent flying.
   Yuli is ok but Kentosees how brave Yuli ws and he is just a normal little kid. Kento realizes twhat he must do and what he must fight for, humanity.And if he just gives up, he will have given himself over to Talpa without a fight. Confidence within himself estored, Shu calls his armor and takes on Anubis. Anubis tries to absorb more energy but he is already too full so he kinda overloads and he is knocked unconscious. The Ronin Warriors rise and wonder about what to do with their fallen enemy. Then Arago grabs Anubis and prepares to haul him back to his castle for more punishment but the Ancient One uses his staff to  intercept Talpa and he frees Anubis's unconscious body from Talpa and brings Anubis to him as Talpa curses his enemy.

15. The Ancient's Battle
15. Kaos -- Life or Death Decision
    In a park, the Ancient One has laid Anubis on the ground as he talks to the Ronin Warriors. Mia and Yuli recognizes the staff from previous encounters. The Ancient One commen the Ronins for their efforts and the Ronins ask him what he plans to do with Anubis. He tells them that the armor Anubis wears is a Ronin armor, just like the five wear. The armor that Anubis wears was suppose to be for good and like them and this information shocks the Ronins for they have seeen the destruction the Cruelty armor causes. Anubis begins to wake up, all five draw their weapons and point them at the dazed warlord. The Ancient stops them with a gesture and sends them away so he talk to Anubis.
    He tells the Warlord that he wears a Ronin armor and that he was destined to be a Ronin Warrior. Sh'ten demands why and how can he be a Ronin Warrior.  The staff lights up andAnubis forehead glows. Anubis looks into a pool of water and he sees  the kanji for "Chu"  or Loyalty shining between his eyes.
    Back in talpa's castle, Talpa is very pissed off and when Dais says that Anubis is too much trouble and they should just forget him, Talpa punishes all three and sends them after to recover Anubis. Anubis is still thinking about the Ancient's words when the other three Warlords appear. The Dark Warlords tell Anubis to come with them and Anubis tells them he won't go. The three loyal Warlords attack and Anubis fights back but he is weak from the previous battles so he loses against the might of the three warlords.
    Then the Ronin Warriors respond by fighting with Anubis against the three Warlords. The Ancient tells Anubis that the Ronins fight for him and Anubis is amazed that they would do such a thing for him when he tried to kill them a short while ago. Then Talpa useshis power to drag the warlords and Anubis back to the castle. The Ronins want to rescue Anubis but they can't get into the castle. Talpa is punishing Anubis in his throne room and Anubis still defies him. He also tries to convince the other warlords that Talpa is wrong and that they should join him but the others remain loyal to Talpa. Anubis is dragged away from Talpa and Talpa feels like he must deal with the meddling Ancient.
    The Ronin Warriors are discussing their attack. They want to rescue Anubis who seeems to be good now and they must get inside Talpa's castle o have a chance of winning. So long as they fight him on the ground, they can't defeat their enemy.
    The Ancient One waits and Talpa appears. The two fight in deadly combat and the Ancient sees what must be done. He waves and he creates a huge towering pillar of energy that reaches toward the clouds to Talpa's castle. He has sacrified his life to create a bridge to Talpa for the Ronin Warriors.
    The Ronins see the brigde and run to it. They realize what the Ancient One has done for them. They now have access to Talpa but now Talpa has home court advantage and that the Ancient One is gone.

16. Raid on Talpa's Castle
16. Plunge into Arago's Heart
    Using the energy bridge that the Ancient One has created by sacrifing his own life, The Ronin Warriors ascend towards Talpa's castle. White Blaze is left behind to protect Mia and Yuli.  Tapla attacks the energy bridge with his Nether Spirits but the energy repells the spirits. Talpa gets his follwers ready and prepares.
    Meanwhile, the three other Warlords are  tortured like Anubis. The torture they are enduring is actually power and energy that is being driven into their bodies. Quite a painful process. The Ronins are doing well and are disposing of Dynasty soldiers easily. .The Ronins suddenly hear Talpa and he says he has prepared a welcoming ceremony. Then the three Warlords appear, glowing with power.
    Each Warlord demonstrates how strong he has become by using their sure kills. They taunt them telling them to proceed inside. The Ronins wonder how the Warlords became so powerful. Then each Warlord teleport away. The Ronins fight their way to the main door. Kento pushes it open, having more diffulty than the one outside, and they step through. They are immediatley sucked into a whirlpool of starts and they disappear.
    Sage awakens and  faces a figure dressed in Kabuki *demon* costume armed with a huge but familiar looking sword sword. The voice of the figure is Cale's and Sage tells Cale give it up and he uses his Halo sword to slash throught the mask. cale discards the costume and they battle. Cale uses his supercharged Black Lightning Slah which connects with Halo. They fight, Cale on the offense and Sage barely defending.
    Cye and Ryo wake up and stand. They look up and see a large statue and are immediately attacked by Sekhmet.Sekhmet's poison fills the area and  is like quicksand and the two are trapped by it. The two are sinking and the poison is burning through. Cye uses his Super Wave Smasher and it blows Ryo out of the battlezone with a water spout, and tells Ryo to go on without him after Talpa. Then he faces the Poison Demon General himself. Cye is nearly overwhelmed by Sekhmet's Snake Fang Strike and battles alone.
    Rowen and kento hear Dais' laughter and Dais is projecting images of himself all around them. Kento is falling for it and Dais uses his Web of Deception to attack them. Rowen distracts dais by firing his arrows, wand Kento grabs the Warlord of Illusion and they both disappear. Before Kento disappears, he tells Rowen to go get Talpa. Rowen thanks his disapeearing friend and goes on.
    Ryo of Wildfireis fighting Talpa and is joined by Rowen of Strata. Rowen asks Talpa why he was here and Talpa laughs and shows the people of the city below,being drained of life energy to power him, his demon army, and Nether Spirits. Ryo tells Talpa that he pledged to the Ancient that he'll stop Talpa and his evil and Talpa only laughs. Talpa blasts Rowen away and Ryo screams Rowen's name and he attacks Talpa. The other Ronins are winning their battles against the warlords by using their sure kills and blowing themselves and their opponents through the castle walls.
    Below, Anubis is imprisoned in the lava pit by magical bonds, is still able to "sense" the presence of the Ronins. He tells the Ronins to hang on and he tells himself thsat talpa's evil will dominate his heart no more.
    on the ground, Mia and Yuli watches the sky.

17. The Legend of the Armor
17. Tale of Mystic Armor -- Years Past
    The Ronin Warriors have been blown outside Talpa's castle and Ryo runs on the roofs heading towards Talpa.. He is no more successful this time than when he faced him with Rowen. Talpa knocks him  unconscious and he  lands hard on the tiled roof.
    On the ground, White Blaze senses his master's danger. Yuli is worried and yells at Mia for ignoring him. Mia has been thinking and she thinks they better go insde Talpa's castle to help. Yuli agrees and they ride White Blaze up the energy bridge. They are met by Dynasty soldiers who start throwing spears at them. White Blaze dodges all the spears and Yuli makes fun and goes , You missed us!"
    The Ronin warrios are still fighting the Dark Warlords and Talpa watches carefully. He laughs at how strong the Nether Spirits have made the Warlords.. The Ronins are fighting are holding on. They need Ryo so they all run after him. Their armors glow and combined powers prove effective against the Dark Warlords. They get by the Dark warlords and the warlords give chase but Talpa stops them. he tells that teh Ronins are too strong for them and for them to give him their armor. The warlords are confused but they obey and Talpa absorbs the three Dark warlord's armor.
        As he does, his gigantic helmet becomes solid, and he becomes more solid and creates solid armored hands. Elsewhere, Mia, Yuli, and White Blaze have discovered the unconscious Ryo and revive him. Ryo tells Mia and Yuli to get out because it is too dangerous. They are surrounded by Dynasty soldiers but luckily they are joined by the other Ronins. All five begin to link thier minds and armors for maximum power, their armors and forehead kanjis glowing.
    Anubis is also responding to the call, his armor and forehead kanji is also responding to the link and glowing. Knowing his new comrades are in trouble, and that he is indeed now a Ronin Warrior, Anubis reaches deep into himself to find the power to escape. He is now one of the Ronin warriors. The ronins's power is knocking the Dynasty soldiers down and Talpa apeears.
    Talpa tells tehm that their armor belongs to him and the Ancient One tried to steal it from him. His armored hand snatches Ryo up and it beats him. Cye uses his yari to free Ryo and Ryo's armor suddenly sparks and leaves him. Sage rescues him as the other three find Talpa a most formidable foe.
    Mia and Yuli are running but have been suroundded by the Dynasty soldiers.
    Talpa's giant hand is busy smashing the Ronins and  it flattens Rowen of Strata and Cye of Torrent. Defeated, Rowen and Cye are absorbed by Talpa and he gains a torso. Kento swears revenge and uses his Iron Rock Crusher which is subdued by Talpa and it reflects back on himself. Kento is down and he is absorb as well by Talpa. Talpa's armor is almost complete as he gains legs. *If you didn't know by now, Talpa was a really big floating ghost head and when he absorbs the armors, he becomes more complete and solid.* Ryo is down and is being carried by Sage of Halo. Ryo's armor then heals Ryo of his wounds and Halo goes fight Talpa and he is knocked off the roof and is absorbed.
    Ryo screams Sage's name as his freind disappears into Talpa. He calls his armor, "Armor of Wildfire, Tao Jin!" Mia and Yuli are rescued just in time by the arrival of Anubis. Ryo feels that the Ancient's power is coming from Anubis and Anubis kanji glows "Loyalty" and so does Ryo's virtue of "Virtue" *um..yeah..His virtue is virtue so it's not a typo*  The two fight side by side and seem to be holding their own for a short while. Yuli is delighted, and Mia emembers the Ancient's words that it would take a team effort to defeat Talpa. Unfortunately, talpa grabs Anubis and he is aborbed as well. Only his jin baori (the cloak he wears over the armor) is left, to be blown by the wind past the horrified Ryo.

18. Talpa's Triumph
18. Fear of Evil Magic Ruler
    Ryo now faces Talpa all by himself since all his companions having all been absorbed by Talpa . Talpa is a giant, his height is like 50 feet? He towers over Ryo of Wildfire and laughs.  Ryo struggles against his foe, but even his strongest blows have no effect. Mia feels hopless now that the Ronin Wariros have been absorbed. She tells Yuli that the Ronin warriors were the only things protecting the mortal realm from Ralpa and now that they are gone, Talpa will rule. Yuli won't believe this and he yells at Ryo to hang on.
    Ryo is grabbed by Talpa's giant hand and is being squeezed by him. Suddenly, the other Ronins's power emerged briefly to allow Ryo to esape Talpa's grasp. Talpa regains his control over the Ronins and he faces Ryo again.  "How am I to fight this?" Ryo wonders. "And my friends -- they're part of him now!" Ryo doesn't want hurt his friends.
    White Blaze is busy protecting Mia and Yuli from the Dynasty Soldiers.
    Ryo wonders how is he suppose to kill Talpa without killing his freinds inside. Talpa tells him to give up and he will be reunited with his feinds. Ryo says that all of Talpa's words are a lie. Suddenly, the absorbed Ronin Warriors's power is being manipulated by Talpa and it kncks Ryo back. Dark clouds now cover the city of Tokyo and Talpa stands tall over the fallen Ronin. Ryo realizes that Talpa is feeding off the hate and fear of the people and that the people are still alive. Yuli is very happy to hear this because now he knows his parents are definitely alive.
    Ryo falls off the roof  but manages to find a handhold. Talpa is stilla bove him and he wants his armor. He tells Ryo to surrender but Ryo replies, "I can't die until I kill you first!" Talpa swings his sword at Ryo but White Blaze manages to save him. It is only the tiger's great speed now that keeps Talpa's sword from killing them.
    Then Talpa demonstrates that  he can manifest in form and weapon as any of Ryo's friends because they have been absorbed. Suddenly, the appearrance of Rowen f Strata using his sure kill "Arrow Shock Wave!", and then Sage of Halo using his "Thunderbolt Cut!". Ryo is knock down by his friend's power. Cye of Torrent and his "Super wave Smasher" kncoks Ryo and he slides on the floor. White Blaze comes over to back up his master. By the time of Kento of Hardrock's attack of "Iron Rock Crusher", Ryo is exhuasted. He is on the ground and can't get up. Talpa' huge figure stands over him, laughing.
    Mia and Yuli watch and Yuli thinks Ryo will lose. Yuli tries to run and help but Mia grabs him. Yuli wants to help even though Talpa might kill him, Ryo is still on the ground as Talpa walks closer.
    Ryo is dispirited and he thinks on his past efforts and how it came to be. he says sory to his freinds for not being able to save them and will be with them soon. Sudden'y, his forehead kanji "virtue" glows and his power and strength isr estored. He hears the voices of his freinds and they tell him to kill Talpa and they don't care if they die. He summons up what power he has left to attack Arago, but discovers he cannot. Ryo cannot complete his attack despite their pleas. He was in Flare Up Now! stance but he breaks it, all his strength gone. Gloating, Arago encases his opponent in an energy ball and brings the disheartened Ryo up to eye-level, preparing to turn him into energy and absorb him with Mia and Yuli screaming "No!"

19. Wildfire's Fight Against Fate
19. Decisive Battle! Brave Fire Against Arago
    Talpa is gloating over his victory while Mia and Yuli scream at Ryo, trying to wake him up. Ryo is absorbed and he falls slowly once inside *his spiritual form? since he was energy...*. But once "inside" Talpa, Ryo senses that part of the Ancient's spirit is there, too and he shows him how Talpa nearly won during his last attack over the mortal world.
    talpa is shown riding a demon hose and he is much smaller, man sized. Armies of samurais fight Talpa and they lose. Talpa kills them all with his energy and only the intervention of the warrior mage that the Ancient was then stopped Talpa from succeeding. They fought and White Blaze was there on the Ancient's side and the tiger killed Talpa's horse. Talpa is defeated by being slashed in the back by the Ancient's sword. Talpa's armor remains in the mortal world even though talpa died. His spirit ws sent back to his world. This enabled humanity to escape Arago's rule.
    Since talpa's armor couldn't be destroyed, it could only be re-formed. The Ancient used his magic to make nine suits of mystically powered armor, imbedding one of the five Confusian or one of the four bushido virtues in each one. The five Ronin Warriors were the strongest links to the human heart and its purity with the jins (Virtues) of virtue, wisdom, life, trust, and justice.The essence of human spirit also runs through the other fours armors but during the time of turbulence, they were corrupted by Talpa and thus forming the evil warlord armors.
    The armors are indeed a part of Talpa but this is a weakness for Talpa as well as the Ronins because if the bond between the Ronin warriors was strong enough, they could reach each other and defeat Talpa. But if they weren't, Talpa can control them like he did with the warlords.  As the leader of the ronin Warriors, it is Ryo who must join them together and find the strength to defeat Talpa. Ryo's spirit falls and it sees his friends and they are floating as if they are peacefully asleep.  Ryo  joins them in slumber by giving up, but hears Ancient's words once more. He tells them that they can do no more and that Talpa has won. Ryo says no and says that he can't give up.
    During these lectures the Ancient's voice becomes Talpa's and he tells Ryo to give it all up and join his four friends. talpa laughs and tells them he betrayed them by giving in to talpa and Ryo then hears his fellow Ronins telling him to fight back. Ryo swears he won't give up and cries to the Ancient and his four friends for power and he finds the willpower to refuse Talpa. *so touching.*
    He frees himself from Talpa and a red light bursts through Talpa. Ryo stands on a tower, defying Talpa. *Really thin tower. Good balance!* He calls the life energy of his companions to him, and as all four join within him, his armor disappears which is  replaced by new, white-colored armor. YST, Talpa, shocked, recognizes the armor as the Kikotei or Sun yoroi, and can't figure out where it came from. RW, Talpa is shocked at the new armor but doesn't reconize it and they fight. Ryo jumps up and uses his Flare Up Now! and a white beam of light blasts Talpa away.
    As things crumble around them, Mia and Yuli ride White Blaze back down the pillar. Ryo's armor returns to normal, and Ryo faints from the overload of power. His four friends materialize around him, and the five slowly float toward the ground, the protective shields created by their armor keeping them safe. Ryo wakes briefly to see his friends around him. He smiles and closes his eyes. The five are safe and Mia andYuli races toward them with smiles. The city is freed.
    Watching from a rooftop, the Ronin Warriors see Talpa's dark storm clouds dissipating.  The narrator tells us, however, that they have only won a battle, not the war and the world is safe..for now.

20. Ronin vs. Sarenbou
20. Fresh Conflict
    Ryo in his Wildfire armor is battling against warriors of Talpa's army. Then a more man sized Talpa shows up and Ryo is no match for him. He is pinned against a boulder and Talpa is driving a huge sword towards his head. Ryo wakes up screaming his his nightmare.
    He sees the small crystal ball *his kanji orb that he uses to transform into armor but I never seen it appear. So what's the origin? My bro says the Ancient gave it to the RW but I never seen it happen. Someone tell me!!* on the bedstead next to him, his own kanji of virtue glowing inside. He gets up and goes  and opens a window, and he sees Kento and Cye below having fun or praticing flips? RW, They say even though talpa is dead, the Dynasty still exists and it presents a huge danger. Ryo thinks back to his battle with Talpa. YST, they tell him he's been asleep for over a week since Talpa's defeat. Dressing, he wanders elsewhere in the house, realizing that it once belonged to Mia's grandfather and thus now belongs to her.
    In Shinjuku, Rowen and Sage are enjoying a quiet day on the town, now once more crowded with people. Apparently, no one remembers the events the day talpa appeared and things are back to normal. Somewhere above them, one of Talpa's gates fades into existence, a giant form in demonic armor standing before it, muttering about Talpa and the Ronin Warriors. This new voice talks about foolish talpa was and how talpa wants the Ronins to join him but he will take the armors.
    Back to Ryo, he finds Mia, who tells him he should still be in bed. She has been doing research trying to discover where the white armor came from. Mia is checking all of her grandfather's data. The legend of the Inferno armor was a remnant of Mia's grandfather's research.
    Rowen and Sage are standing somewhere high, I think a skyscraper under construction. Like on those structural beams. And they talk about how strong Ryo and his new white armor was and how close they were to losing to Talpa. Rowen and Sage are taking a break on the drive home when they are shocked by the appearance of Talpa's gate. The armored figure from before comes out of the doors and introduces himself as Sarenbou, one of Talpa's demon warriors. He claims he is stronger than talpa and that he will have the white armor. He asks which one of the Ronin Warrior have the white armor but Rowen and Sage keep their mouths shut. When Rowen and  Sage fight, they are too slow as Sarenbou beat the crap out of the two of them. Sarenbou then catches them in some energy and it reveals to him that neither Ronin Warriors controls the white armor.
    . They arrive home rather battered and report their experience to their companions. Kento is shocked that the Dynasty is still "alive and kicking." They agree they must face this new opponent  but they won't tell Ryo what is going on because he is still too weak from fighting Talpa. Mia tells them the fight won't be easy without ryo and they must protect him and the identity of the bearer of the white armor. All four go out to the roadside where Sarenbou first appeared and challenge Sarenbou.
    Sarenbou sees their attempt to trap him but he appears anyway. He tells them to face him and Rowen tries his Arrow Shock Wave as Sage calls forth his armor of Halo and he uses his Thunderbolt Cut. Both sure kills have absolutely no effect on Sarenbou and he laughs. Sarenbou then traps them in his energy and he learns none of the four Ronin warriors have the white armor. Sarenbou senses there is one more Ronin Warrior and he will find him.
    Back at Mia's house, Ryo is sleeping with White Blaze beside him. White Blaze gets up and growls at the window. Sarenbou sends an image to challenge Ryo, telling him his companions will die if he does not respond. Ryo of Wildfire comes to the rescue of his friends. Ryo in full armor ride White Blaze to his friends with Sarenbou flying along him. The other four are trapped in the energy. Sarenbou tells Ryo to give up because if he uses his armor, it'll kill  him for he is too weak. Sarenbou starts to beat Ryo against the cliff. Seeing Ryo in pain, his four friends tell him to stop and then their armors give power to Ryo and Ryo, in pain, calls forth the white armor. We see the full White Inferno armor transformation sequence. His red armor break away and his red and white subarmor turns blue as the four spirits of his friends surrounds him. Then the arm and leg pieces strike and bond and then he hugs himself as fire rushes all around him and the armor forms. And then a rainbow appears behind him, symbolizing the five Ronin Warrior armors. *so cool. White Inferno is the best!!*
    With the increased power now available to him, Ryo defeats Sarenbou with a Flare Up Now! Above, the real Sarenbou watches the tremendous power display. He now has an idea of what causes the white armor to appear, the true reason for his activities. He returns then to Talpa's dimension to report his findings. As Ryo finishes his attack, the white armor is replaced by the red Wildfire armor, and Ryo once more faints from power overload. Mia arrives just in time to see the transformation. The other four Ronin Warriors are also hurt and unconscoius, lie by him.
