Rogue Ronin's POV

=================================================================================================

It was a quiet and calm afternoon for once in the Koji mansion. There has

been no attempt by anyone, Dynasty or otherwise to try and conquer the

world. So everybody decided to take in some R&R in their own way. Rowen and

Mia were playing a game of chess. Sage was off meditating in his special

place over in the forest. Cye decided to go for a long swim in the lake.

Kaye went with him, but not to go swimming. She decided to take in some

training time. Kento stayed inside and was watching tv, while Kento was

flipping through the channels, Ryo walked by and saw a martial arts

tournament taking place. "Hey Kento check it out there's a martial arts

tournament going on." said Ryo as he jumped over the couch and landed next

to Kento. The two were impressed by how well they were fighting.

"They're ok I guess, I bet that we can beat them with no problem. What do

you say, Ryo, how about it why don't we enter?" asked Kento.

"Enter what, you guys?" asked Kaye as she, Cye and Sage came in.

"A martial arts tournament, what else. I mean come on it could be a lot of

fun, and besides I'm tired of just sitting around doing nothing. We need

some kind of excitement around here." said Ryo.

"You mean the one that the two of you were just watching?" asked Cye.

"Yea that's the one, it's coming here in a few days. So why don't we sign

up for it, you know it'll be fun. Come on what are we waiting for, let's do

it already." said Kento.

"Kento, that's a national tournament, there's going to be people from all

over competing in it. What makes you think that we can just walk in and say

hi there, we're interested in competing, so where do we sign up?" asked

Kaye.

"Actually, Kaye, that's already been taken care of." said Mia as she made a

move to trap one of Rowen's knights.

"What are you talking about, Mia?" asked Rowen as he countered Mia's trap.

"I've already entered all of you in it, and besides my friend's niece is

going to be in it as well. So I thought that this is a good way for all of

you to meet her. Since I'm already going there to watch her compete, I

thought that the rest of you would be going crazy just staying here."

replied Mia as she took Rowen's king.

"Well then since that's settled, I say that we start training again, the

sooner the better. Are you coming, Rowen?" asked Sage.

"Yea I'll be there in a minute, I just have to finish this game." replied

Rowen as he moved into position to take Mia's queen.

"Actually, Rowen the game is already over, you just don't know it yet and by

the way, Rowen, checkmate." said Mia as she took Rowen's queen.

"No way, come on, Mia, you have to be kidding." replied Rowen.

"Sorry Rowen, you better hurry and catch up with the others. I'll be out

soon with the first aid kit." said Mia as she got up from her chair. Rowen

just shook his head in amazement as he went outside to join the others for a

training session.

=================================================================================================

Kitty's POV

=================================================================================================

A girl about 18 stood inside her house looking outside through the window.

She smiled to herself. "So I'm finally going to meet him. It’s been a long

time since I last saw him, I wonder if he even remembers me?" she sighed and

turned from the window. "Probably not." She stretched and walked out of her

room and down stairs.

"Well, will you look who's up?" She smiled and sat down next to her aunt.

"Hi mom." Her aunt smiled, going along with the inside joke, while she

poured her a glass of juice.

"Are you going to practice for the martial arts tournament today?" She

nodded as she drank her juice.

"Yea, I have to be ready for it, wouldn't want to get out there and then

make a fool of myself by loosing." Her aunt nodded and looked at the

newspaper in her hands.

"Are you excited that your going to meet Mia's friends?" She nodded again.

"Yea, I've been dying to meet them ever since I first heard about them." Her

aunt laughed some and went back to reading her newspaper. She finished her

juice and got up from the table.

"Bye mom, I gotta go train."

"Ok, be back in time for dinner!" She grabbed her shoes and walked out side.

"Alright I will." She put on her shoes and headed for her training spot.

=================================================================================================

Rogue Ronin's POV

=================================================================================================

"Come on you guys we have to get better than this since the tournament is

tomorrow." said Kaye as she blocked Cye's attack.

"Kaye, why don't you relax already, you know that we'll take it with no

problems." replied Kento as he delivered an attack towards Ryo.

"That maybe true, Kento, but in this tournament you can't use your armor.

These competitors are regular people with no special powers or armors." said

Mia.

"Come on Mia we don't always need our armors. Besides this tournament

should be interesting to say the least." replied Sage.

"Even though it might be a good idea to bring our orbs just in case. I

maybe a little suspicious about how quiet it's been since we've haven't had

anyone try to take over the world." said Rowen as he jumped away from Sage's

attack.

"Actually I agree with Rowen, we never know when we're going to need them."

answered Cye as he jumped back from Kaye.

"Fine then it's agreed, we'll bring our orbs to the tournament, but we don't

use them unless it's absolutely necessary." said Ryo as he blocked Kento.

Everybody decided that it was time to take a break from their training.

They all walked over to the deck and sat down. "Hey Mia since you're up on

what's happening during the tourney, what are the events that are going to

take place?" asked Sage.

"Well there's a weapon's display, single kata, team kata, single sparring,

and team sparring. The team kata has three people in it and the team

sparring has two people on each team." explained Mia.

"Now that's what I'm talking about! I don' know about the rest of you, but

I can't wait until tomorrow!" said Kento excitedly.

"Then we don't have much time to waste now do we? I guess that we better

get back to training." said Ryo as he and the others got up from the deck

and started back to their training.

=================================================================================================

Kitty's POV

=================================================================================================

Katie walked up the stairs to her porch. She had been out practicing all

morning and afternoon and thought it was time to rest and eat dinner. She

opened the door to her house and walked in. Something smelled really good

and it was coming from the kitchen. She took off her shoes and walked into

the kitchen. "Hey, mom what's for dinner?" Her aunt, who she called mom,

turned around and smiled at her.

"Well, I kinda thought we could have a taco night tonight." She then turned

back to the stove and continued cooking. "Tacos huh? Sounds good to me." She

then turned and walked out of the kitchen. She sat down on the couch in the

living room, grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

"Let’s see what's on tonight." She said as she scanned through the channels.

It soon became obvious to her that there was nothing good on and she flipped

the TV off.

"When's dinner going to be done?" She shouted to her aunt who was in the

kitchen.

"In about a half hour." Her aunt shouted back. She sighed and laid down on

the couch. The thoughts about tomorrow's tournament came back to her as she

laid on the couch. She smiled thinking about how much fun she was going to

have.

"If I'm lucky Mia's friends will be in the tournament too. I hope so,

usually there's no one who's really a challenge to me." She thought out loud

as she reached over and grabbed her Teen People magazine that was on the

coffee table next to her. She sighed and started to flip through it.

"It’s strange how I haven't sensed any kind of evil for a while." She frowned

thinking of this. "I have a bad feeling about tomorrow. I hope it’s just a

bad feeling and that it doesn't turn out to be what I think it is." She

thought to herself.

"Come on, Katie, time to eat." Her aunt said as she stood in the kitchen arch

way.

"Yea, time to eat!" She put her magazine down and headed for the kitchen.

Her aunt laughed and followed after her.

After dinner Katie helped her aunt with the dishes and then went up stairs

to her room. She opened the door, walked inside her room and then shut the

door after her, she sighed and leaned against the door. She then closed her

eyes and leaned her head back against the door. The quite, stillness of her

room was peaceful, but was interrupted by the bright glowing of a lavender

light coming from an odd looking 'marble' on her dresser. She groaned and

opened her eyes. "Now what is it?" She said aloud as she walked over to her

dresser and picked up the 'marble'.

She frowned as she looked at the 'marble' in her hand. "What is it? What are

you trying to tell me?" She asked the marble. To her surprise it started to

float out of her hand. She stared at the marble not sure what to do. It had

only did this once before and that was the night before 'he' attacked. Then

just as suddenly as it had started it quit glowing and dropped back onto her

hand. She frowned knowing what it was telling her. "Danger, something's

going to happen tomorrow at the tournament." She sighed knowing her fears

were true.

Kaye looked around and all she could see was a thick white blanket of fog

and some kind of door. She walked to the door and opened it just a little

bit so she could see what was behind it. That was a mistake, something

pulled Kaye into the room and the door shut behind her. "Oh man where am I,

where is everybody? Kento, Mia, anybody, would someone answer me?" yelled

Kaye. She waited for a few minutes before yelling out for someone again.

Then just as she was about to yell out, a voice answered her out of nowhere.

"You have finally came, I knew that you would sooner or later. Come closer

I want you to know what has become of me since you've put me here." yelled

the voice.

"What are you talking about? Look, I don't know who you think I am, but I

think that you are crazy to even think that I had anything to do with you

being wherever you are." Kaye yelled back.

"No you are wrong, DreamWalker, you are the one that I've been looking for.

You have what I need to finally be free of this place. So come to me, come

to me, I command it!" yelled the voice again.

"I don't know who you are, but you don't command me to do anything, so I'm

out of here as of right now." answered Kaye as she began to leave. Just as

she was about to walk out of the door, when something came out of nowhere

and struck Kaye across the back of her right shoulder. Kaye jumped out of

the doorway before she got another attack. Then as she was clear of the

door she woke up in her own room.

"Ok now that was one dream that I definitely don't want to have ever

again." thought Kaye as she got up out of bed. Kaye winced a little bit as

she lifted up her right arm. She walked over to the mirror and looked at

what was causing her pain. Kaye noticed that there was a long red mark

across her right shoulder blade.

"Oh man I don't believe this, great just great why did this have to happen

now of all days? There's no way that I can tell the guys and Mia about

this, it could be nothing I don't want them to worry." thought Kaye as she

was getting ready for the tournament. Suddenly, there was a knock on the

door.

"Kaye, come on sleepy head, if you don't hurry up and get a move on, we're

going to be late for the tournament." yelled Kento.

"Alright, Kento, I'm just about ready, keep your shirt on would ya." Kaye

yelled back. A few minutes later Kaye came downstairs with Kento to where

the others were waiting.

"Here I thought that Rowen was always the hardest one to get up in the

morning." said Sage. That remark got a glare from both Rowen and Kaye.

"Very funny, Sage, now since everyone is here why don't we get going

already." suggested Rowen.

"Yea it's about time, man do I feel sorry for those poor people that have to

face us." said Ryo with a mischievous grin.

"Ryo, remember those people don't have special abilities or magical armors,

so you don't have to go full out Ronin on them." said Mia.

"Aw come on Mia, it's not like we're going to use our sure-kills on them or

anything." answered Rowen.

"All I'm saying is that this tournament is suppose to be for fun and that's

all." said Mia.

"Yea don't worry, Mia, we know but don't think that we'll hold back on them,

remember Mia they are champions from their homes as well. You know that

they won't hold back either." replied Kento.

"Ok, ok you guys just watch yourselves out there, and make sure that you

have fun in the process." said Mia.

"We'll have a lot of fun don't worry about that, Mia. Kaye, you've been

pretty quiet since we took off from home, are you ok?" asked Cye with

concern. Cye's question made everyone look over towards Kaye. She noticed

that everyone was staring at her waiting for a reply.

"Yea, Cye, I'm fine, honest I'm just getting my concentration together for the

tourney that's all." answered Kaye with a smile. After that was said

everyone went back to excitedly chatting away about the tournament.

"Great just great, I can't believe that I lied to them like that. Well it's

not important now, at least the tournament will be a good thing that will

act as a distraction from that crazy dream that I had." thought Kaye as she

looked out of the car window. Just then Mia turned into the parking lot of

where the tournament was being held. Everyone was getting out of the car

except for Kaye.

"Hey, Kaye, are you coming or what, you're not getting cold feet now are ya?"

asked Kento as he moved to where Kaye was.

"No I'm not getting cold feet, Kento, I'm coming." answered Kaye as she

walked with Kento to the stadium.

=================================================================================================

Kitty's POV

=================================================================================================

Katie walked downstairs and sat on the couch in the living room as she put

on her shoes and brushed her hair. Her aunt came into the living room and

handed her a pop tart to eat on the way there. "Here, take this and eat it

on the way. You have to eat at least something." Her aunt said as she handed

her the pop tart. Katie finished tying her shoe and stood up. She grabbed

the 'marble' of the coffee table and put it in her back pocket. Her aunt

looked strangely at her. Katie shook her head at her aunt’s look.

"Just in case you-know-who shows up." Her aunt nodded understanding. She

then took the pop tart and headed for the front door. She grabbed her car

keys and opened the door.

"I'll see ya later, gotta go have some fun!"

Her aunt waved as she shook her head. "Have fun and be careful!" she yelled

after her as she shut the door and walked outside to her car. She pushed a

button on her key chain and heard the car alarm beep signaling it was off.

She opened the door to her car and got in. Starting the car she took off for

the tournament.

"This is gonna be fun. I just hope that my bad feeling is just a feeling and

that he doesn't show up." She sighed as she thought about her last fight

with 'him'. She shook her head not wanting to remember anything else and

took a bite of her pop tart.

A little while later she was pulling into the tournament parking lot and

parking her car. She turned off her car and got out, shutting the door. She

walked in front of the car and presses the little button on her key chain

and heard the beep again. She then turned and walked away from the car.

Unbeknownst to Katie a very familiar person was watching her from the

shadows. "There she is just like he said she would be. Now's my chance to

attack her." He thought as he stepped out of the shadows.

Katie stopped suddenly as she felt an evil presence. She frowned knowing who

it was. She spun around trying to see him, but couldn't see anything. Then

out of no where an attack came at her. She just barely missed it by jumping

out of the way, calling on her subarmor in the process. She stood up and

looked around for her attacker. "Who are you?! What do you want?!" She

yelled out angrily. In reply to her questions she only got the evil laughing

of her attacker.

"Foolish girl you are in for the ride of your life!" And with that he shot

another energy wave at her. She dodged it with no problem. "Ha is that all

you got?" More evil laughing could be heard from him. It seemed to come from

everywhere. She clenched her hand into a fist and spun around in a circle

looking for him.

Another attack came, this time from behind and she didn't have enough time

to react and dodge it. It hit her in the back and sent her flying forward

and hitting the pavement face first. She shakily got up and looked around.

"Ohh now your gonna pay for that!" Again he started laughing evilly. Katie

having enough of his attitude called forth her full armor.

"ARMOR OF THE CRYSTAL..... DAO LEANO KI!" Holding her arms in front of her

she was engulfed in a swirl of cherry blossoms and bright lights. When the

lights and cherry blossoms faded away Katie stood in full armor ready to

fight. "All right now let’s rock and roll!"

~~***~~

Sage was walking with Kaye and the others when he remembered that he forgot

something in the car. "You guys I forgot something in the car I'm going to

go back and get it. I'll be right back." With that he turned from the group

and headed back to the car. On his way back he saw what he thought was a

person in armor fighting someone he didn't know. Thinking she might need

some help sage called forth his subarmor and ran over to help.

"Man this guy is fast." She thought as she counter attacked one of his

attacks.

"This is gonna be tough, I'm going to have to keep my guard up." Just as she

was thinking this he shot an energy wave at her. Not having enough time to

react she braced herself for the attack. Holding her arms up in front of her

shielding her face, eyes closed she waited for the attack to hit her. When

it didn't she opened her eyes and let her arms down.

"Huh?" To her surprise she saw a guy in green subarmor standing in front of

her.

"Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size, instead of going around

picking fights with girls!" Sage said as he turned to look at Katie. "You alright?"

Katie nodded. "Yea, I'm fine. I can take care of him by myself." Stepping in

front of him. "I don't need your help!"

"Geez nice way to thank me for saving your butt from getting fried." Sage

said a hint of anger in his voice.

"I never asked you to help me, you just decided to." Katie said back not

taking her eyes off him. While they were bickering back and forth the person

who had been attacking Katie got ready for another attack. Shooting a huge

energy blast at the two before they new what happened. Katie turned her head

just in time to see it coming.

"Get down!" She shouted as she threw herself on Sage knocking him to the

ground and missing the blast. Sage stared at her as she got up and glared at

her attacker.

"Now I've had it!" She got up and taking her sais from her side again raised

her hands above her head.

"CRYSTAL STAR STRIKE!" Bringing her hands down in front of her. The attack

hit her attacker and sent him to his knees.

"Gotcha!"

Sage watched wide eyed as the attacker got up holding his side and

disappeared into thin air. He then turned his gaze back to the girl who had

saved him. Katie turned around met his gaze with hers.

"Who are you? Are you an enemy or a friend?" Sage asked her as his voice

starting to get a little loud. She only shook her head and turned from him.

"I can't tell you anything right now. Soon you will know who I am. All I can

tell you is that I'm not an enemy." She started to walk away form him.

"Ohh yea and your welcome." She said as she ran off and disappeared.

Sage stood and recalled his subarmor. "Not an enemy huh? I'd sure hope your

not. I'd better go and get the others and tell them about this." He said as

he turned and ran back to get the others.
