Story

The lines in the poem were a clue to where each warrior was. They were revived in this order: Ryo of Wildfire, Sage of Halo, Cye of Torrent, Kento of Hardrock, Rowen of Strata. Their battles after were long and hard fought. They became stronger and they learned more about their armor's abilities as well as their own. They journeyed to Tulpa's castle in the sky, a bridge created by the Ancient one, who sacrificed his life to create the bridge.*sniffle* Once they thought they defeated Tulpa, but more Dynasty warriors came, trying to claim the powerful white Armor of Inferno, which combines the five armor powers into the armor of Wildfire and recreates into the Inferno armor. Yet each time the Ronin Warriors used the armor, it left all of them weak. Then after one battle with Sundevil, they learned that Tulpa was still alive. (And let's put it this way, they weren't to thrilled about it) After that, the Ancient appeared to each of them in a dream, telling them to go out on their own and find their spirit. As they were all apart, Tulpa found it easy to capture three of the warriors: Cye of Torrent, Sage of Halo, and Kento of Hardrock. Ryo and Rowen had to journey into the Nether Realm to rescue their friends. Along the way there were many traps and treacherous battles with a fierce warrior known as Lady Kayura, a descendent of the clan of the Ancient One who was under the control of Tulpa by a magical amulet. Many times she gave them a bad beating. Yet in the end, Ryo and Rowen finally did pull it off. Rowen was able to revive the captured three with three of his arrows of Life Force. Lady Kayura's amulet was broken by Ryo when he fought her with the armor of Inferno. Lord Badamon, of the Netherspirits, possessed her, and controlled her that way. Anubis, who the Ancient saved from Tulpa, and following in the Ancient's footsteps, freed Kayura from Badamon's control, but at the same time, gave his live in doing so. *sniffle again* Kayura became the wearer of the Armor of Cruelty, and used the magic staff of the Ancient. The Ronins and Dark Warlords had been imprisoned in nine shrines - one for each armor - making Tulpa exceedingly powerful. They broke free of the shrines and began to fight Tulpa, but he had already extended the Tower of Pain into the mortal world, bringing greed and hatred and fear, which is the source of his power. The warriors returned to the mortal world to fight him there. The Ronin Warriors created the Inferno Armor, and Ryo fought Tulpa. Tulpa said that the Inferno armor would be his once he defeated Ryo and took the armor from him. Ryo knew that he couldn't let Tulpa win the battle, otherwise he would destroy the world. Ryo, in a way, 'yielded' the Inferno armor to Tulpa. the soul of the armor, Virtue, began to pollute Tulpa's evil. Ryo screamed at the remaining Ronins to hit Tulpa while he was weakened by the trait of Virtue. The others were hesitant, because they didn't want to kill Ryo, but if they didn't attack, Tulpa would rule. Tears flying from their eyes, they attacked with all of their strength and power. The Jewel of Life (which actually played a somewhat significant role along this whole way and I just failed to mention where) struck one final blow against Tulpa, destroying him. After the attack, a white flaming light flew out of the destruction and landed, revealing Ryo in the Inferno armor, just as good as new. Now, they had finally defeated Tulpa. Kayura and the other Dark Warlords (well, I guess they're just 'warlords now, seeing as they're good) returned back to the Nether Realm to keep it safe once again. At the end, they took off their helmets, and threw them into the sky, where they burst into sakura petals, and drifted back down to the ground. The armors disappeared leaving them standing in letter jackets, with their respective colors, and the first letter of their name on it. (Actually it was the first letter of the trooper's name, seeing as Ronin Warriors was dubbed from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, see the Conversion Chart)
