Life and Death: Circle of Fire

By Hellbound

Note: This is my first crossover using the Ronin Warriors. ^_^*, It's been a while since I seen the show but I love Ronin Warriors so I remember everything about it! ^_^.

Everything no matter what it is is connected to someone else. They share the same spirit channel. They communicate with each other through their dreams. They share their fears and hopes with each other. Only one is conscious of the fact. I'll explain later…

Princess Serenity and her Senshi climbed the high stairs of heaven. They were being lead by a young woman in her twenties. She had long light brown hair, and dark green eyes. Her glare was enough to scare Serenity out of her wits. The other Senshi were worried as well, where would they be placed, Heaven, Hell, or Limbo.

"Where's Mamo-chan?" Serenity questioned their guide.

" That bastard missed the ninth gate…he probably made a deal with the undead…just forget it. You guys are lucky to be judged not many people get judged by the counsel, usually they just send the bad ones to hell and the good ones to heaven, but you also get the chance of going to Limbo, it's for people who were in the middle, it's not such a bad place. " Their guide told them.

Serenity looked at the mysterious guide with fear, a deal with the undead? The ninth gate? What was she talking about? They finally reached the top of the stairs and were looking at several podiums. There were four. Sitting in the highest one was another woman, she had midnight black hair, and her eyes were a cold as Steel. Serenity recognized her as the master of Hell. Then the second highest podium was empty. A woman with short black hair occupied the Third podium; her eyes were a darkened blue. Then in the last podium sat a cheerful, young girl who had dark brown hair, and like Serenity had odangos on her top of her head. Serenity noticed her as the guardian of the Heaven Gate. Serenity and her Senshi lined up and awaited their judgment.

"Miko hurry up, we don't have all day!" The first one hollered.

The girl that lead them up the stairs walked forward and took her place in the second highest podium. She glared at the nine girls. Serenity flinched, at the glare she received.

"Welcome I am Veggie, I am the Master of the Dead." The first one said.

"I am Miko, The Bringer of the Dead or the Grim Reaper which ever you prefer" The next one said

" I am Sabreil, The gate keeper of hell." She said plainly.

" And I am Ginger, the Guardian of Heaven's Gate" The last one said

"Who do we have today?" The first one asked.

"We have Princess Serenity daughter of Selene, and her Senshi, Veggie" Miko announced to the one in the highest podium.

Veggie glared at Uranus.

"We will start with the tall one" She said pointing at Uranus.

Uranus stepped forward, she seemed calm and patient. Yet inside she was full of fear. Veggie looked into her eyes. She could tell Uranus was full of pride, yet very scared.

"Limbo…" Veggie announced.

Then Sabreil stood up. She was obviously angry.

"I say Hell!" She spat. "I never liked her!"

"Shut-up Sabreil" Miko said, "It doesn't matter if you like her or not, it matters about her life what she did with it. Limbo, I agree"

The last one stood up. She had sympathy for Uranus.

"Come on guys, why not heaven? She did give her life to protect another!" She said looking at Veggie and Miko.

"Ginger, you can't forget she has killed many others, including humans. That is inexcusable. Your getting soft after all these years" Miko said.

"Alright…Limbo" Ginger finally gave in.

Veggie lifted her hand, and a portal appeared under Uranus, it was not black like the time portals but a crystal color. And once Veggie, put her hand down Uranus was gone. Neptune screamed, tears falling down her face.

"Neptune…it's alright" Pluto said comforting her.

Veggie then glared at Neptune. She smiled and announced her name. And the process continued with the outer scouts. Saturn was sent to Hell, Neptune to heaven, and Pluto to Limbo. Then it was Venus's turn. She walked forward, she was nervous anyone could tell that.

"I say Hell." Miko said.

"I have to say Limbo" Sabreil commented.

"I say Limbo too." Ginger said.

"Hell…" Veggie whispered.

The four girls stared at each other. It was a tie. Minako, began to get sick. She was going to hell she knew it.

"When there is a tie, we send the person to the place not voted for, and in your case it is heaven"

Minako bowed and thanked them. Then it was Makoto's turn. She stepped up and just like Uranus had no fear on the outside. Veggie declared her to go to hell. As did the others. And like before a red portal appeared under Makoto and she disappeared. Ami went, and was declared to go to heaven. The only two left were Rei and Serenity. They were holding hands out of fear. Then it was Rei's turn. She was sent to Hell along with Makoto. Serenity cried, her friends didn't deserve to go to hell, they only did what her mother told them to. It wasn't fair. It just wasn't. Her sadness turned into fury, and she summoned her crystal. She held it out and pointed it at the four saints.

"HOW DARE YOU SEND MY FRIENDS TO HELL!" Serenity cried.

"Miko, control your baka sister" Veggie announced.

SISTER?! That evil witch was her sister?! Miko stepped down from the podium and grabbed Serenity by the arms. She held them behind Serenity's back and forced her onto the marble floor.

" For that I'm not going to send you to Heaven, Hell, or Limbo." Veggie taunted.

"What a good idea, Veggie." Miko grinned evilly.

"Come on guys your just angry, think about it clearly first!" Ginger cried.

"Come on Ginger, we haven't had this much fun in ages! Why not send her back to life without her friends!? It would be perfect punishment!" Sabreil said with a smile.

Back to Life! What are they talking about? She had died, and it is against the rules of life and death to send someone back to life! Veggie glared at her. It was like she was searching through Serenity's mind…

"Don't forget little rabbit, we created the rules of life and death and we can easily change them for the occasion." Veggie said.

Miko let go of Serenity, and walked back to her podium, and together the four chanted a spell sending Serenity into a dreamless sleep.

Ryo and White Blaze where scouting the forest. They were looking for the Dark Warlord Cale. Ryo was wearing his armor of the Wildfire. He had his twin blades ready. Then out of the darkness Cale appeared and jumped from the tree slashing Ryo in the back with his mighty sword.

"Black Lighting Slash!" Cale cried, sending the attack in Ryo's direction.

"Flare Up Now!" Ryo yelled.

The two energies clashed creating a chain reaction. The result was a massive explosion. It threw both Ryo and Cale off balance. Cale was the first to get up, he took the opportunity to call upon the other Warlords. Who were busy fighting the other warriors. They all appeared. Dais was the first to appear followed by Sehkmet. The laughed at the fallen warrior.

"Let's finish this!" Cale laughed.

"Black Lighting Slash!"

"Web of Deception!"

"Snake Fang Strike!"

"Hell's Revenge!"

The first attack only bruised Ryo, the second one burned in his skin. The third attack caused Ryo's head to bleed. The last attack hit Ryo hard piercing his armor. The three Warlords turned around to see a young woman; she had long light blue hair, and red eyes.

"Who are you?" Dais asked.

"I am Bliss, Master Talpa sent me to finish what you couldn't"

She walked up to Ryo and took her Scythe and slashed him across the neck. She watched as the blood gushed from Ryo's neck. Then from out of the darkness appeared Kento and Cye. They looked at Ryo in shock. Kento's eyes raged, he took his staff and began aimlessly trying to hit the demon. Cye ran to Ryo's side.

"Hold on Ryo, I'll get you out of here"

Ryo's armor disappeared, and Cye made his attempt to leave the forest. He met up with Sage and Rowen who were arguing over which direction to go.

"GUYS!" Cye yelled

Both Rowen and Sage looked in Cye's direction. They saw Ryo and ran up, they were all very confused and angry.

"What happened?!" Sage asked.

"The Warlords attacked Ryo!" Cye looked at Ryo's wound, "And he might not last long…"

From the distance they all heard a scream it was Kento. Sage, and Rowen ran towards the direction of the sound. Leaving Cye alone with Ryo.

"You're bleeding badly…" Cye told Ryo.

"I'm not bleeding, I'm dying…" Ryo whispered in a croak.

"Damnit!" Cye screamed.

Cye felt powerless, he had no control. He never was good at first ad but he tried his best to help his friend stop bleeding. But it was of no use. Ryo's energy began to gather above his body, a bright red light…

"Cye…yo-you must find someone…to repl-replace me…to be able to-to wear the armor of the Wildfire…the orb-it's the armor, take it and find and suitable warrior…" Ryo's eyes began to close. "Goodbye my friend"

That was it…Ryo was gone. Cye could feel that his spirit was not among the earth.

"RYO!" Cye screamed.
