Branded Ronin - What is Feared is Lost - Part II [Fiction]


Branded Ronin

What is Feared is Lost

Part II

Many warriors are left behind in the desolate burning sun. Their bodies, twisted with bereavement by their families left behind and reeking with the smell of death silently lay there, no longer slaves to the world and the hollow regimes within this hollowed and bedraggled land.

From all four corners of the world, men, women and children old enough to fight for freedom and able to carry a weapon travel long distances to meet the branded Ronin who stepped up out of their sacred hiding places and sought the root of all evil – the greed makers and lust seekers of the tyrannical regimes that control the world today.

No matter where they go, the word is out these branded Ronin warriors are out to seek justice for those oppressed and kept inside deep dungeons and prisons in ball and chains and solid white uniforms marking them to be slaves and free laborers for those who hold the key to the newly created international labor force of slavery. Since the fierce fighting had begun, they have fought hard to stop the tide of darkness and stepped up their game to meet the enemy head on in the light.

They show no fear. They know that if fear rules them, then all is lost before the fight has even begun. They refuse to fail, they refuse to surrender and they know that if they don’t take on the opposition on their terms and position, then all is lost as the might and greed of these warped humans encroach on life and justice in a manner unacceptable by all rules of mankind and humanity.

In some instances, the power of the greedy ones is too great or too much but through perseverance, faith and hope, they struggle hard to come back and win a battle or two, taking out those key to plan to further this human destruction of the rights of man. Their efforts are spread world-wide through social media that is hot and wireless from land to sea and from desert to mountainous terrain wherever the signal may travel.

There is no great wall to block these pleas to join the fight. There are no great divides that stops the movement to cut into the corruption and power of the darkened regimes around them. There is fear but the fear is on the greedy side and not those warriors who never retreat under fire and keep on coming even when their chances are annihilation is in favor of the New Order of nations.

Day by day, these battles begin to take the toll of slow destruction as the warriors sense victory is not too far away. Their forces grow as free men and women gather near their hidden places to become a member of the branded Ronin warriors who have successfully defended their own sanctuaries with blood, sweat and tears that will eventually bring them the victory desired in the coming years.

There are no individual conquerors – there are no superheroes or special supermen or women in this fight. All contribute evenly and sometimes, when their resources dwindle, they draw upon the sword to carry them through the fight as they follow their leaders into battle side by side and facing the fear of death each time they cross those endless boundaries of enemy territories, whether on land or water.

Momentum builds confidence as the branded ones are gaining strength in numbers and their inner self is building into a sculptured block of ice trained to meet the enemy head on and stave off any defeat or surrender. Ronin warriors never quit – their strength is in their ability to fight until the end and conquering the fear is only a part of their challenges.

They don’t have the elaborate resources of the enemy; they do not own the planes, tanks ships and vehicles that ferry these troops via land, sea or air unlike the Ronin warriors and their supplements who ride, walk, run or crawl towards their destination as fast as their feet can carry them. What sparse resources they have they captured from their enemy.

What sophisticated weaponry they possess has been captured in battle and turned into defensive weapons rather than the purpose intended by the munitions manufacturers and each role of such special weapons designed. Thus far, the calls for the end of this war has been ignored by those in power and peacemakers paid to find a solution to meet somewhere in the middle and stop the killing.  

No battles have been halted or removed from the battle plan. In the meantime, more manpower has been created as the news of successful battles travels quickly. Strangers have turned from wandering desolate souls to battle seasoned fighters as they follow the branded Ronin warriors into the abyss of conflict and war.

Instead of being a group of scrounging men and women carrying guns and explosives, they have formed into a force to be reckoned with as time is on their side and as more flock to their side and cause, the war is taking a turn that the greedy must heed and notice that all that is feared, is lost.

A legion is forming and the tide is turning. Ronin warriors, freelance and mercenary fighters all gather to face their wrathful opponents and hand them the double edged sword of justice as they move slowly across the land, sea and air, taking back what was seemed to be forever lost and for a moment, even the darkness has shown some light in their plotting to win this war, peeking curiosity of the tyrants who are slowly shifting their forces to meet the daily losses that appear to be giving them more of a fight than ever anticipated or planned.

The world war is barely beginning. These Ronin warriors, branded as traitors, rogues or hired killers for the free world, are making a stand in the sand which has added a new meaning to patriotism and liberty. This is no longer a fight for one country one regime or one existence. This battle, conflict or war is about international rule by the greedy and how these free men and women are fighting to free those enslaved and imprisoned for profit or control and take back what was once the best things in life called the pursuit of happiness or heavenly bliss.
