Sage glanced to his left at Ryo and nodded. Ryo looked to his left at Kento and nodded. Kento , not in the mood to just nod shouted ,

"hell yes"!

Anubis had just asked if they we're ready to go. Having received his answer he walked to Ryo and stood 3 feet in front of him forming a triangle shape he lifted the staff high as the rings danced and clanged together for a moment , before a soft blue light engulfed them. The color maybe Kento's hands tighten into fist of fury .
(lol, sounds like a fatal fury movie)
The color reminded him of Cye. God help him if something had happened to him... Kento shook his head for once not having to be told to not let angry blind him. He smiled. He could always kill Tulpa's little wanna be's AFTER Cye was safe and among friends.

Sage kept his face solemn not willing to have blind fury control him. He knew that Rowen was in bad shape and needed help now. If they played around with Tulpa's guards to long it might be to late to save Rowen- Sage's eyes darkened the fierce violet gaze locked forward . His eyes had once been compared to a falcon or hawk. or some other raptor. There was no way Rowen would stop fighting he and Rowen had been best friends sense this war started. Sage couldn't remember once , that he had given up. He knew he just knew Rowen would give Tulpa the satisfaction of seeing him die.

..."hang in there guys we're coming"...

Ryo's Words jerked both Kento and Sage out of the fury filled wonderings. Anubis was not floating a few feet off the ground holding the staff high above his head. The portal was open.

Ryo glanced back at them.

"Lets Rock N' Role Ronins!" Ryo shouted

"Lets make things right" Sage said in a mellow tone .

Yet his eyes flashed he was just as ready to kill them as his allies, he just kept a better lid on things.

"Lets kick some dynasty scum butt!" Kento yelled.

The all ran into the portal at the same time filling it begin to lift them up.

Mia looked on from the house.

"Good luck you guys.. come back safe..."

Ja-ne

Rowen Lay on the floor of his cell. He wore practically nothing which helped and hurt all at the same time. It helped him cool off with his fever constantly growing. Yet it also didn't protect him from shock or the numbers of sores on his back, and the back of his legs from not being able to move and laying the same way for god knows how long. His cuts were infected and his gashes if at all possible worse. His eyes where open in tiny slits un able to open them further he just pretended to be out cold . yet time after time his tears gave him away. Then One Warlord or the other would ask him again if he wanted to join and each time it took more and more strength to say no and even more to survive the beating he got each time. He was having trouble breathing now. From the fever, from the countless broken ribs he was certain he had. From the fact his tongue had swollen so bad it almost blocked his air way. Rowen closed his eyes his nose was broken so he couldn't breath though his nose . He had bee beaten before. He'd been hit with strong attacks numerously but never NEVER had he felt such a pain. Ever once of him was scream in agony pleading to be let free from the pain. But Rowen just kept re playing Sage's voice in his head over and over forcing him self to believe That his allies would save him. Every time though he be came weaker and each time closer to complying and going with the warlords. with that thought his mind drifted to Cye hoping and praying he was being treated better then him self. He closed his eyes un able to speak for it took to much oxygen. the tears that stained his face clearing a path between the dried blood, the sweat, the tears, and the fresh blood as they trailed down his face.

Cye whole body tensed as for a few moments he saw , Kento and Ryo and Sage fighting at the boarder of the dynasty. He forced him self into a sitting position leaning against the wall watching with a smile as ten cans raced around like chickens with they're heads cut off it was nice to see them fearing for there lives instead he slid back agent the wall hoping to be forgotten in the excitement.

"they made it" He whispered and focused mind not willing to just sit back while his friends fought to save his life. once he was concentrating at his max point he shouted in his head ,which hurt like hell I might add. To the Ronins.


"I'm in the dungeon ! I don't know where Rowen's at! I don't know if you can hear me! but if you can! Thank you for saving us! I'm not there in form but I'm here for you guys please don't let me down!"

Cye nearly passed out from his headache after that catching him self on the floor and closing his eyes as he leaned agent the wall . Tears fell down his face in waves. tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of fear , tears of relief.

'please hurry guys'

Chapt 12.


Ryo was furious as he continued to battle against a never-ending hordes of Dynasty soldiers. He could hear Cye crying out to him, and it fueled his anger even more as he slashed away. Near him, Sage was swinging his sword in a high arc, spinning as he did so. Sparks and pieces of metal flew everywhere, and the sound of battle cries was high in the air. They could still hear Cye's voice in their minds. It was full of sorrow, pain, distress, and yet even hope. And that only gave them more energy.
Images of Rowen flashed through Sage's mind as he flipped a soldier over his head, then swiped its head off with one swing of his sword. A solder charged from behind him, it's scythe raised up high to slam into his skull. Sage's sword was behind him in an instant right through the soldier's neck. The soldier dropped lifeless to the ground, the familiar smoky substance pouring out of it and vanishing into the air.
Kento slammed his tebesetso left and right, taking out even more soldiers as he did so. He was getting impatient. He wanted to go in for Cye and Rowen right now. No telling what Talpa was going to do his friends if they didn't hurry soon.
"Ryo! We should go in!" Kento called to him as his weapon went over and behind his head, cracking through the helmet of a soldier, then crushing it at one time.
Ryo kicked a soldier away from him, then swung his swords in opposite directions, destroying two soldiers at the same time. He looked toward Kento and nodded. "Right."
Sage was more than ready, and he was already racing for the castle, vanquishing soldiers on the way as he ran forward. Nothing was going to keep him from rescuing Rowen, or Cye.
Nothing.

Rowen cracked an eye open as he shivered. He had just awoken from being unconscious and for once in his life he wished he'd go back to being unconscious as the pain was far too great for him to handle. He curled up into a fetal position and moaned, the sound of his moan echoing off the walls of his cell. But beyond all the despair that plagued his soul there was a trace of hope. He had dreamt that Sage was on his way, along with Ryo and Kento. They were here. He could sense their presences and that gave him hope and courage.
"Hurry guys," he whispered painfully as the painful throbbing increased in his head. "Please hurry." The blackness soon took him over and he slumped to the floor again.
From outside his cell, hidden in the darkness, Cale smirked evilly. "Keep hoping, Strata. That hope will soon diminish, and you will become a lifeless corpse in that cell. You will soon learn that no one disobeys Master Talpa."
His laughter echoed through the halls as he vanished.

Talpa was laughing hard, his voice bouncing off the walls as he did so. He had just gotten word that the Ronins were on their way and were about to break into the castle. "So, they think they can rescue their friends do they? Ha! They are sadly mistaken! Torrent will be mine, Strata will soon submit to my will. Instead of seeing their friends again, they will see new enemies! Cale! Sekhmet! Dais!"
The three warlords appeared before him and bowed low before him.
"Yes, Master Talpa," Dais asked, lifting on eye to meet Talpa's.
"What is your bidding?" Cale asked.
"We are ready to do your bidding," Sekhmet added.
Talpa grinned evilly. "The Ronin Warriors, Wildfire, Halo, and Hardrock are on their way into the castle." An image appeared before them, showing them that the three Ronins were in the east, heading for the east wing of the castle, soldiers being destroyed left and right, in front, and from behind. "Go to them, my Dark Warlords, and destroy them! Bring their armors to me!"
The Warlords vanished into the air as Talpa continued to laugh.

Ok, ppl. I had writer's block on this, but I finally got through it. More will come later. Again, Crimson Flames and I don't own the Ronins. So please don't sue us. We are only borrowing them for entertainment. Thanks. Firestorm
