Wraith: This is a tangential series were the Swords of Inferno could not make up its “mind” and did something unexpected. This happens at the final meeting with SaberStrike and shows him to a better light than the series.

Warlord Of Wildfire

The two warriors sized up each other as their sword clashed. Both knew that only one would walk away from this battle. Ryo had to kill SaberStrike for what he had done. He also knows that his world depended on it. Saberstrike on the other hand had to kill this boy, who by chance has in his possession Hariel's Armor. He had to save his world from Tulpa's folly. They prepared to use their most powerful attacks.

Ryo : Rage Of Inferno!

SaberStrike : Winged Angel of Death!

At that point where their attacks meet a bolt of lightning hit both Soul Swords of Fevor. The resulting light show made the other Ronin Warriors cover their eyes. In the end we see the back of SaberStrike's armor holding the Twin Swords of Fevor. He turns around revealing Ryo wearing SaberStrike's armor.

Ryo??? : The swords cannot be separated for long.

Sage approaches Ryo, not really understanding what came to pass. Mia and Yuli tend to White Blaze's wounds. Then their attention shifts to the end of the battle.

Sage : Ryo? what happened

Ryo??? : He is gone.

Cye (under his breath) : No (he stares helplessly into Ryo’s blue demonic eyes)

Kento : Free our friend (clenches his fists) or else SaberStrike!

SaberStrike then realizes he had only obtained the Armor of Wildfire. He then looks at the remaining Ronin Warriors. Then they start to stand and Yuli stayed with Mia looking at what was happening. They were in his way, but this was necessary.

SaberStrike : Flare Up Now!!

The explosion resulting from the destruction engulfed the surrounding area.

SEVERAL YEARS Later

A Temple Compound, Dark illuminated by candles

A old man was lighting incense to lost friends and comrades. He was the last one. It was forgotten but it seems to haunt him every day. It was his defeat, the one part of his life that remained like a nagging housewife. They had failed and worse it made his friend a empty shell, another used --he shuddered and he didn’t want to think about it. Somehow the ordeal had made him more attuned as it were, instead of one great demon horde, there is multitudes of smaller lesser demons. They were kept at bay by Tulpa, but his death freed them. The bargain they had made with SaberStrike seemed to be useless in defending the Mortal Realm. He sighed and took the lesser staff preparing to do battle. Sage Date, a monk, started to make his rounds sending demons back were they belonged.

The Neatherealm

A male figure is seated on a throne, in front of him is a fire blazing a dark blue, a woman with a kimono and a naginata (spear) stood opposite of him. A large black tiger is beside his throne, he is petting it slowly. In the other hand he had the Blade of Binding, a strange, useless, looking weapon. It looked like a scepter. He was weary with fighting recently the bearer of the Dark Inferno Armor. He had claimed that armor for his own along with the Demonic armor of Hannaya. It was almost comical what his problem is.

SaberStrike : The lesser demons are controlled here, but as they enter the Mortal Realm my power over them is useless. This is intolerable, but I am bound by honor never to return to the Mortal Realm. It cannot remain this way Mia.

Mia : I have come to a solution my Lord Sanada, (she bows humbly before him, SaberStrike seems to not to be angered at her) but I need Sage’s Halo Armor and Cale’s Armor of Darkness

SaberStrike points the spear to her, then both armors, in a sitting position, opposite each other, appear. Mia starts a long incantation as the armors stand and strike each other with their swords. Then a purple suit of armor appears, which look similar to Halo Armor and the Armor of Jackal, is there with two claw-like extensions (think Legend of the Curse of the Undead Yoama’s ninja claws). Along with the claws, the purple armor is armed with a large curved No-dachi sword.

Mia : (staring at SaberStrike with reverence) The Armor of Shade and Wrath my Lord Sanada.

Lord Sanada/SaberStrike : So you want to create a new group of Demon Generals. I give you permission, but chose well, for the armor and their bearers must remain under my firm control. Do not fail me Mia.

Mia : My Lord I plan only one bearer, the demons escaping though may overrun the Mortal World, they are no match for even one of the armors. I will not fail you my Lord, a few more spells and the amalgamated armor will be complete. Then I and it shall find a suitable bearer. If you need more warriors, I shall make 3 new armors.

Lord Sanada/SaberStrike : Good, after you are finished, you shall go to my bedchamber. (He stares at Mia) I shall expect you to be there, Mia.

Mia : I shall be there my lord.

He then stands and starts to go presumably to his bedchambers. Mia starts finishing the armor, her arcane magic make sparks of lightning and light. She was protecting the Mortal World her own way. Maybe Sage understands that by now.
