I don't own the Ronins or Warlords so don't sue me. Also I would appreciate

some feed back. Anything at all. Now on with part 3.

           A Slim Ray of Hope Part 3.

    "Super Wave Smasher!" Cye yells. Kayura gets hit hard.

    "Kayura!" Kale yells as he runs to her side. 

    "Iron Rock Crusher!" Kento yells. Kale looks in horror at the attack 

aimed right at him and Kayura. There was no way of dodging that. Suddenly 

Dais steps in front of them at takes the full force of the attack and is 

knocked to the ground, unconscious.

    Anubis was beyond mad so he lets loose his fury, "Quake With Fear!" He 

yells. Cye and Kento both dodge it, but then Kale decides to get them back 

for what they did to Kayura and Dais, "Black Lightning Slash!" He yells and 

this time Cye and Kento aren't so lucky, so they teleport back to the 

Dynasty. Anubis sighs as his armor and sub-armor disappear.

    "Dais, hang in here man," Kale says as he kneels beside Dais. 

    "He'll be okay after he rests," Kayura says as she comes over.

    Dais is unconscious for 3 hours after taking Kento's attack. "Ouch, this 

will teach me not to get in Kento's way when he does that," he moans as he 

sits up. the others breathe a sigh of relief as their comrade pulls himself 

to his feet.

    "This battle is going to get worse, be prepared, "Kayura says. The others 

nod.

    Ancient, I hope they have the courage and strength to defeat Talpa, she 

thinks.

    Sekhmet is leaning against a tree and suddenly senses something. He 

shivers as a cold breeze starts to blow. No, please, not him, he thinks. He 

sees Kayura and the others stiffen. 

    Suddenly it gets very dark, and a Dynasty gate appears, sending Sekhmet 

jumping back.

    "You think you have a chance against me?" Talpa asks as he steps out of 

the gate. The Ancient's staff appears in Kayura's hands. She grips it tightly.

    "Talpa, as long as you're here, we  will oppose you, " Kayura says.

    "I beat the Ronins and now I'm going to finish you traitors off," he 

snarls. He swings his fist and Sekhmet barely dodges it.

    "To arms!" Anubis calls. They waste no time in calling forth their armor.

    Suddenly Talpa hits Dais and sends him crashing painfully into the ground.

    "Dais!" Kayura yells as she runs to his side. Her eyes fill with hatred.

    "Snake Fang Strike!" Sekhmet yells, but it has no effect on Talpa, who 

sends him beside Dais. Talpa then turns his attention to Kayura who was still 

holding the Ancient's staff. He hits her hard, but she throws the staff to 

Anubis.

    "Anubis, protect the staff," She yells. She hits the ground and her eyes 

close.

    Talpa turns to get Kale, whose hand is trembling as he holds his sword. 

Talpa kicks Kale, who is sent slamming into a tree. He cries out in pain and 

gets ready for the worst.

    Talpa comes toward him, but Anubis throws the staff and Talpa leaves, but 

not before getting Sekhmet, Dais, and Kayura.

    "No!" Anubis yells, but it's to late.

    Kale sees Talpa take them and his eyes close and for a while the pain 

subsides.

    Anubis comes over and kneels beside him. Kale, hang in here, we're the 

only ones who can beat Talpa now, he thinks sadly.

    Suddenly he hears something...
