Everyone’s eyes widen as the ball went up in the air, beginning to shine forth an extremely bright light.. Then suddenly there was an explosion in midair.

Mesu’s fists tightened in anger and he whirled around, wanting to see who had caused that. They would pay dearly for that.

“Flash!” Hana cried.

Flash stood there in the yard now, her fists tight at her sides. “No one messes with my friends while I’m around.”

Mesu’s eyes flashed. “Then I guess we’ll have to make sure you won’t be around then!” He raised his arms up and began to chant. The winds begin to pick up and a spectrum of colors rose into the air. The colors came from the Ronins’ the Lady Ronins’, and Thunder’s armors. Each of them felt as if they were held in a tight vise that they could not get out of.

“Now you will feel my fury!” Mesu shouted as he increased his powers.

All of them suddenly found themselves up in the air, held tightly by what looked like electrical cords, however they were made of a different substance, and each one affected them and brought pain according to their armor powers.

“Ahhh!” Rekino cried out as her arms suddenly stretched behind her in the most uncomfortable way.

“Mesu!” Flash shouted, her voice rising with anger.

“Hm?” Mesu suddenly gasped. The girl was still on the ground. Why wasn’t his magic working against that girl?! It couldn’t be possible!

Rowen, himself, noticed that Flash wasn’t affected by it either. But why not? It didn’t make any sense, unless.. His mind flashed back to the time when they were all captive. Now he remembered. Flash was immune to magical powers. They had no effect on her. He turned his head and looked toward Ryo. “Ryo! I think we need the Inferno!”

It was then that Ryo remembered his dream. A junction the Ancient had said. But how would they call it? He lowered his head, gritting his teeth in pain. All around him he could hear his friends, his girlfriend, all screaming in pain. How much longer could they take this?

Down below Mesu was standing before Flash, his hands held out before him. “You will die, girl. And I will see to that.”

“I don’t think so,” Flash replied. “No one is going to be dying, but you. And normally I hate killing my enemies, but with you I’ll make an exception.”

“GAH!!!” Mesu shouted in rage as he suddenly drew a large saber like sword and attacked Flash viciously.

Flash quickly brought her own sword up. Compared to the Firestarter sword, this sword was a bit smaller. Its edges were sharp and narrowed pointed, the handle of the sword made of pure of gold. The sword shone with brilliance and it seemed to sparkle a bluish and whitish color.

The two swords struck again and again, creating a shower of sparks and powers. Flash did not want to admit, but she still felt weak. She had to hold off long enough just to stop Mesu and in time for the others to get free.

Mesu dodged to the side and struck toward Flash’s hip. He was quickly parried off, and he jumped back. His sword went into a circular arch as if he was preparing to call a surekill. Instead he struck at the ground, creating a dust storm, and sending it right toward Flash’s eyes.

She had no time to dodge. In an instant her eyes were burning with pain. She dropped her sword, rubbing furiously her eyes furiously with her hands.

Mesu chuckled and raised his sword above his head.

“Flash!” Rekino shouted, trying to get free from the bindings she was in. “Look out!”

Thunder struggled as hard as he could, knowing that any moment Flash would be killed. He couldn’t let that happen. And then he closed his eyes, continuing to struggle, as his symbol suddenly flared to life on his forehead.

At the same time Cye noticed that Flash’s symbol had appeared upon her forehead. And then just as Mesu was bringing the sword down to finish her off once and for all, they all heard a snarl, and suddenly a gigantic white ball attacked Mesu knocking him down and several feet backward.

“Blaze!” Rekino cried with relief.

Mesu kicked Blaze off him, and the wolf did a backflip and quickly landed on his feet, and turned around. He bared enormous fangs that glistened. The back of his hairs along his hackles were standing up on end.

Mesu stared back at the large white wolf, holding his arms out in a challenging manner. “Does the puppy want to play?” he sneered.

Blaze snarled.

“Something tells me that wolf isn’t what he appears to be,” Rowen said.

“I’ll say,” Josephine murmured. “Just look at those teeth!”

“That’s not what I meant,” Rowen said with a shake of his head.

Mia already knew just how the wolf appeared to be. Yet, she didn’t say anything.

Mesu suddenly launched an attack at Blaze. Blaze dodged the attack and came up behind Mesu, bit him on his rear end. The Dynasty Master howled in pain, and thrashed about. He launched another attack, this one of magic and blasted Blaze away. The wolf flew back about ten feet, then quickly somersaulted up right and landed on all fours again.

“Stupid wolf!” Mesu shouted as he rubbed his butt.

Blaze growled at him. He had a piece of Mesu’s clothing between his teeth.

A snicker started here, then another, then another. Soon there was laughter everywhere. Mesu growled and whirled around to face the Ronins and Lady Guardians, and Thunder. All of them were laughing in some way. Kento and Josephine were howling with laughter, Ryo and Rekino had tears in their eyes, Hana and Amaya were laughing hard, Rowen and Sage were laughing so hard their sides hurt, Cye and Mia were laughing as the tears ran down their cheeks, and Thunder had a smirk on his face.

“What is so funny?!” Mesu demanded.

“Nice boxers, Mesu!” Ryo howled with laughter.

“What?!” Mesu demanded.

“We didn’t know you wore teddy bear boxer shorts!” Rekino cried out, then burst into laughter again.

At once Mesu went pale.

By this time Flash had managed to clear her eyes of the dust and she looked up. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. “I’ve seen some bizarre things, but that takes the cake!” Then, she too, started to crack up with laughter.

Mesu was getting angrier and angrier by the moment. How dare they insult him this way! He would show them all! He begin to build up his powers as the wind picked up and the sky turned pitch black. The winds howled, and everyone was separated from everyone else.

“Ryo!” Mia cried.

“Mia! Rekino!” Ryo shouted. He flew end over end, then grabbed onto a street lamp, holding on for dear life. One look around and everyone was hanging onto something as the winds tried to tear them apart. It was just like being in the path of a tornado.

“Ryo, call the Inferno!” Cye shouted

Ryo remembered his dream and despite the predicament they were in, he had to tell them. “You guys! I know how to defeat Mesu!”

“Now’s a fine time to tell us, Ryo!” Kento shouted.

“I didn’t have time!”

“So hurry and tell us already!” Hana cried.

Ryo then told them all what the Ancient had told him. They listened attentively as Mesu continued to build his powers and the winds howled, trying to tear them apart and send them flying in different directions.

“So we need Flash’s help?” Amaya asked as she clenched on tightly to the banister that was breaking apart little by little.

“Yes!” Ryo shouted.

“Flash, can you?!” Rekino hollered back at the girl.

Flash was clinging onto another lamppost. She nodded her head, then closed her eyes. She had to concentrate in spite of everything happening. She begin to build up her powers.

“Now Ronin Warriors!” Ryo cried with a strong voice.

At once Cye, Kento, Rowen, and Sage began to glow their respective colors. They transferred their energy over to Ryo. And the transformation of the White Inferno Armor took place.

Rekino also called upon the Lady Guardians’ armors’ energies. And she, too, transformed into the Lady Inferno Armor.

At once White Blaze was transformed into Black Blaze. He gave a mighty roar. At the same time Flash had gained enough power and she surrounded both Ryo and Rekino with an conflagration of fire, giving them strength beyond strength.

The two warriors stood ready to face Mesu. The time there would be no mercy.

"Ah, the mighty Inferno Armors. How nice of you two to summon them for me," Mesu said.

Rekino smirked, "They're about as nice as your teddy bear boxers."

"SHUT UP!"

Ryo looked at his sister and smiled. She had grown up so much, and he was proud of her. Rekino, on the other hand, thought about how much Ryo has immatured over the years. Even though he was a year older than she, Rekino was still more mature by a long shot. She still loved him though.

Ryo's mind went blank. Suddenly, he had forgotten how to junction them together. Oh shit!

"YOU WHAT?!" Rekino shouted, "YOU FORGOT HOW TO DO IT!"

"Yeah…kinda," Ryo said half heartedly, "but we can still use a double inferno on him. Whaddya say?"

Rekino let her head fall and she sweatdropped. So much for us beating Mesu. Dork can't even remember how to junction!

"Gomen nasai," Rekino said, "Okay, let's toast this Dynasty…teddy bear!"

Ryo nodded and looked back at Flash, "Can you give more power?"

Flash frowned a little, "What do I look like? The Energizer bunny?"

Kento looked over at them, "She keeps going and going and going and gong…"

Josephine hit Kento upside the head with her naginata, "Okay, we get the picture!"

Mesu was on the other side watching the Guardians, Ronins, and the two warriors arguing with one another. He frowned. They were wasting his time. He should be back home getting a bubble bath and watching his soap operas on television. Oh, how he wanted to watch General Hospital. He was hoping that Brenda and Jax would get together and screw that bitch Skye. Those Ronin bitches and bastards are about to die. At once, he screamed in rage and unleashed his full power.

Rekino and Ryo were trying their best to stand on the ground. Flash was holding out well since she was immune to most of Mesu's magic. Josephine, Kento, Amaya, and Cye had dug their weapons in the ground to keep themselves steady. Rowen and Mia had wrapped their bows onto a telephone poll and Hana and Sage were holding their no datchis into a tree. Blaze was standing next to Flash without any trouble. Thunder was trying his best not to succumb to Mesu's magic.

Mesu was laughing as the Ronins and their Guardians were trying their best to stand, but he frowned when he saw the two warriors and the damned wolf hadn't moved. His eyes glowed an evil red, and he started to increase his magic power. Just when he did though, Black Blaze jumped and bit him on his rear end. The demon howled in pain.

"Stupid beast!" Mesu yelled and started to move his hips back and forth to get him off.

"Rekino, Ryo use Inferno now!" Hana yelled.

The two siblings nodded and started to power up. They leapt high into the air while Black Blaze distracted Mesu. Ryo looked at his sister and they both exchanged glances. With a their katanas together, the two proceeded to call on the Inferno's power. Black Blaze saw it coming and moved out of the way. Mesu turned his head and his eyes widened.

"RAGE OF INFERNO!!"

"SPIRIT FURY OF INFERNO!"

A huge column of fire surrounded the demon emperor. Mesu tried to shake the power back, but with Flash backing up the two Infernos', he didn't have a chance. The demon's screams could be heard miles away. With a flash of power, he vanished into thin air.

Rekino and Ryo landed and powered out of Inferno mode. Black Blaze turned back into White Blaze and jumped on Ryo and started to lick his face. All at once, everyone was hugging each other in joy for defeating Mesu. They cried and cheered for victory. Rowen ran over and scooped Rekino into his arms and kissed her with everything he had.

"I'm glad that you're safe," Rowen said on her lips.

Rekino smiled happily and hugged him close. "So am I. Sorry about earlier today. I didn't mean to sound so rude. I was just upset and all."

Rowen silenced her with a kiss. "Don't apologize. I know."

"Well, looks like everything's back to normal," a voice said from behind him. All of the ten eyes turned to see Thunder, Flash, and Blaze standing next to them. With tears in her eyes, Rekino ran over and hugged Flash with all her might. The older girl hugged her back. At once, everyone joined in with Rekino in hugging the two warriors from America. Josephine went over and hugged Blaze and petted him.

"You're such a good wolf. Yes you are!" Josephine said and gave Blaze more attention.

While everyone was rejoicing, they didn't notice the skies getting blacker overhead with evil. A sudden crash diverted their attention and they looked up. A bolt of lightening crashed in front of them and they all jumped back. A figured appeared from it. His clothes were torn and blood poured from his wounds. Glowing red eyes could be seen and they all knew who it was.

"Mesu!" Flash screamed.

The demon lord looked ready to kill. He raised his hand and his evil voice echoed throughout the property, "I'm not done with you yet…I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!" A dark power spread amongst the twelve warriors. They all howled in pain. Mesu wasn't done yet, "You will never defeat me! I'm will become supreme ruler of this world and every dimension. YOU WILL NOT STOP ME!!!"

Ryo gritted his teeth/ "No matter where you go or where you are, we'll always be there to stop you."

"We're the Ronin Warriors and we protect this world…" Sage said.

"And every dimension…" Kento said.

"With our mystical armors…" Cye added.

"That were given to us chosen five to ensure peace within this world," Rowen replied.

Mia stood by supporting herself with her bow, "And we're the Lady Ronin Guardians…"

"Sworn and destined to protect the Ronin Warriors…" Amaya's French voice spread through the howling winds.

"And the ones we love…" Hana said with stood with her sword.

"With our mystical guardian armors that was given to us," Josephine said as her knees buckled underneath her.

Rekino stood and pointed her katana at Mesu, "We will protect this world and the next until our bodies shatter!"

Flash spoke next, "We came from America to stop your evil from polluting the Earth!"

Thunder's words were spoken with authority. "We will not stop until you are dead."

White Blaze and Blaze roared in agreement.

Mesu laughed, "Fine then, you will all die…IN THE NETHEREALM!!" His glowing red eyes grew brighter. A portal opened and started to suck everything in. All of the warriors weren't going to let him win. They were all hanging on for dear life as the portal's energy grew stronger.

"I…can't hold on for much longer guys…" Amaya said through her teeth.

"We have to try," Kento said.

Mesu increased the power of the portal, "I will never let you escape! You will die in my world!"

All at once. everything went blank. Rekino couldn't hold on to her katanas any longer. The forces of the magic made of her lose consciousness and she passed out. The portal sucked her in. Rowen screamed her name out in anger. Not long after Rekino, Mia and Amaya couldn't bear the pressure brought onto them. They too let go and were sucked in. One by one, each Ronin Warrior and Lady Guardian were lost in the portal. The only ones that were left were Flash, Thunder, Blaze and White Blaze.

"You're not going to get us that easy!" Flash yelled. Her symbol appeared on her forehead and she shot a stream of fire at Mesu. It bounced right off of him. Her eyes widened, "Impossible…"

Mesu laughed .“That's right, Firestarter, it's impossible to stop…ME!" His eyes flashed again and four of this zombie soldiers jumped up and attacked the remaining two warriors from behind and pushed them into the portal. The other two grabbed the two animals and took them as well. Mesu looked into the portal the whole time, "Now, it's time for hide and seek. Find your comrades, warriors, and then we'll see if you can defeat me once you're all joined together…or you die trying!" Mesu laughed and jumped into the portal. It closed behind him.
