MESSAGE VOL. V

Ryo standing inside the telephone booth talks with Nasti on the phone.
(All 'quote are said by Ryo Sanada.) Why do you try to stop me?
There are no contact from anyone. I need to go', cried by Ryo. He needs to save them.
"Can you fight, Ryo? Maybe it was we who have made the mistake.", said by Nasti.
Ryo was silent.

Back in his room, there are 4 messages in his answer machine.

Touma: "Ryo, I just sent the play. I still can't think of anything but that everything has been predicted. The vain future that the play described was sad. But it was only the past that we had experienced already. I felt so strange that the fight which might result my own death was predicted by someone else. The story moves on, and the made-up story has no ending, too. This play talked about the human's heart, that it has no strange moving, and.... And I suffered with the heart at the end.
It's at the time that the armors were destroyed.
Did we fight to destroy the armors? No. Armors would be broken when the power hits with power. No, if we didn't change something, everything will repeat again. Ryo. I can see it. I can see it! The history that repeats over and over, into fighting.
What should I do, Ryo?
.....Sorry, I know that you'll worry about me. It is all right. Don't worry about me.
I'm waiting cheerfully for our next meeting."

Shin: "Ryo, I haven't got any message from Touma, either. But I think he'll be all right because he is Touma. I am all right, too, of course. I have settled my feelings. I just need to fight, to kill the enemy. It's simple. If I don't kill, I would be killed.
I have confidence that I do not make a mistake. I'm correct. It is just that. I can understand only things around me because that is where I live.
It seems that there is a big and deep problem about the armors. But I don't know anything. I can't do anything so big to change the world of armors. Therefore, I think selfishly. I know it is selfish, but I can only hold so much responsibility. I can't go anymore deeper.
I want to end everything quicker, if there is an ending. I think there is. It supposed to be. We have always found the end by ourselves. And we can find it this time as well.
See you then.....Ryo.....I'm sorry."

Shuu: "Ryo, are you there? I won't be able to comprehend anything if you disappear as well. At least Seiji was still all right this morning. It seems that someone tries to cleanse the world with the power of armors.
I want to show the person about it, about the fearful essence of Kikoutei. It is true that the world might be dirty. But I still believe in human beings, that human beings are still worthful.
Ryo, my hands are shaking. My hands! Am I afraid?
I'm going to fight, and going to win.
But why am I afraid? About the truth?
Ryo, what am I fighting with? There is no enemy this time. I'll fight with my old self.
We destroyed the youja, and what did we get from it? That is the question. I got nothing. There was nothing left.... It's all the same. I can't stop myself from using the power.
I can't talk all this with you directly. Thank you, Ryo.
....Sorry, my face is hot, I am. Then, see you."

Seiji: "I think it is all right to believe in our hearts, to believe in our coward selves that know about the sadness and fearfulness. And only then, we are able to love.
The armors appear in the world, affect different time in different ways. And it seems that all grief of people who were involved by the armors were recorded. The history relates with the armors so deeply that no past or future could be talked about without the armors. It is because the heart control the armors. The human's heart is so incredible. It wishes for the happiness, and praises the worries and beauty. The happening made by the armors can not be avoided by something so small such as a human. Sad heart can give birth to warmth, and human trusts himself there.
You can see the path of the heart from the feelings: The history that cannot be told without the armors, the answer that comes from the world of armors, and the hearts of human that rest in the rightousness.
Is it not the beginning of new steps?
Ryo....I feel that I will be wearing the armor when I see you next time.
I want to believe in our own hearts. And, I'll try to have the heart that others believe, too.
See you then, Ryo, in the middle of the light."

Illusions of fights of armors appear in the air around the world....the Middle East....the U.S. The World Meeting was held immediately, and Nasti attended as the representative from Japan. While the opinions favored in the direction of solving everything with power, Nasti spoke up. "Oppositions!"

Shinjuuku, where everything began. Ryo stands in front of the new city hall. Then Suzunagi appears.
I'm the last one. Rekka no Ryo. I feel that everyone is here.'
With the sounds of bell, four armors appear on the top of the city hall: Tenku, Suigo, Kongo, and Korin.
Suzunagi raises her hands, the box of armor appears, with the mark of Rekka on its cover.
"Touma realized the mistake of past. Shin admitted the fate of fighting without an ending. Seiji refused it. Refused to fight, and refused the heart to fight."
Let's ask the armors, about the answer of your and our own confusion.'
"My...confusion...?"
Suzunagi helps Ryo wearing the new armor.
Human beings will fight every time when they are attacked, and hatred is so easy to appear.', said by Ryo.
" I lost everything", It won't return'
"I cannot forget it", then don't look back'
"The injure...", is able to be healed.'
"The tears", will dry up'
"....my hatred,"
I'll break it with the armor! Watch it youself!'

Ryo calls out Samurai Troopers! Let the hearts become one!' And the four armors become four rays of light, disappear into Ryo.

Light swallows everything.

Ryo is panting. From the other side of the fog, Touma, Seiji, Shuu, and Shin appear.
The bell rings.

Suzunagi starts when she hears the sounds of the bell. The only thing she can see are the graves around her.
These are ....the history of the persons who refused the power of the armors....People who fight against the armors without arming, priests who die in the fire with the armors in order to protect them from being misused...
Byakuen appears, A red lily is held in his mouth, and he put it down in front of one of the graves. It is the grave of Suzunagi's mother.

"Mother."

Suzunagi's mother appears with the same appearance in the past. "Here is the place of the people who did not admit anything, who could not bring anything except their sad deaths. But, there is no one here who hate the human beings.", said by Suzunagi's mother, "Everyone loved people. Love gives incredible power, even changes the hatred. I feel so sad about your love."
When Suzunagi recalls her mother's love in the past, she changes into the young, the true Suzunagi's appearance. "Mother died! Father died! Nothing I loved had left!", she cries in her mother's arms.
"Gentle child. Love me once more as your heart would like.", Mother holds Suzunagi gently.

The clouds are gone. The sky is bright and shining. Touma is flying. Wisdom is the heart to understand and to judge things clearly.
Shin calls a swirl that brows off the evil. Shuu controls the power of the earth. There is no more confusion.
Seiji holds the new Sword of Korin. The armor of Korin can break the darkness and see through the evil.
And Ryo is the leader of the Samurai Troopers.
Finally, they understand the legend of armors.

"Byakuen! One day watch my grave, too.", stated by Shuu.
"From now on, it is our time.", said by Shin.
"Let's make the history that fits for the name of the Samurai
Troopers," said by Seiji.
Whenever there is love, there is the heart.', said by Ryo.

The sun rises.

"One day, I'll hear the reply from you.", Suzunagi's voice disappears in the air.


ENDING Three years after the fighting with Arago, the boy grows up. At the Japanese Martial Art building, the National Champion of Junior High School Kendo is held. The announcer: "The Forward of Sakura Hill Junior High School, Yamano Jun."
