Rogue Ronin's POV

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

"Somehow I have to get out of here, but first I have to figure out where

here is." thought Kaye.

"Forget it, DreamWalker, your role in this production is far from over." said

Dago.

"No way, you couldn't have known what I was thinking, unless." said Kaye as

she looked wide eyed at him.

"Yes, I can read minds, along with many other abilities. Since you are here,

why don't we try them out. You see being trapped for eternity in this void

makes me think that I've lost my touch. Let's see if I'm right shall we?"

asked Dago as he powered up. Kaye tried to move, but for some reason she

couldn't.

"What do you think that you are doing, Tae?" asked Dago as he glared in his

direction.

"I'm sorry, lord Dago, but I thought that if I held her in midair, you would

have a better shot." replied Tae with an evil grin.

"Tae, I might be older than time, but I'm more powerful than you will ever

imagine, remember that." said Dago as he fired a shot at Kaye.

"No I can't let them, I can't give them the satisfaction, I won't." thought

Kaye as she held back the screams of pain.

"The DreamWalker is a lot stronger than I anticipated, well then I think that

it's time to kick it up a notch." said Dago as he channeled more power into

his next attack. This time Kaye couldn't hold back, her screams were so

loud that they echoed throughout every hallway in Dago's realm.

"No I have to hold on, I know that they'll find me. I have to believe that

they will." thought Kaye as she passed out from the pain.

"Aw too bad, I guess the DreamWalker wasn't as strong as she thought."

replied Tae as he floated her down from midair and back into the shackles

that were hanging on the wall.

"Don't be fooled, Tae, when I attacked her with my energy attacks, I felt

some kind of power that I haven't felt in a long time. I think that I

better rest, that last attack took a lot out of me." said Dago as he left

the room. Tae looked back to where Kaye was hanging on the wall, he walked

over to her and when he got there he grabbed her throat and turned her head

one way and then another.

"When master Dago is finished with you DreamWalker, you'll be mine, all mine

to do with whatever I please. Now won't that be fun?" asked Tae as he let

Kaye's head drop back down.

Meanwhile....

"Did you guys hear what I heard? I know that was Kaye screaming, guys we

have to find her." said Kento in anger.

"We know, Kento we'll find her, don't worry." said Cye as he tried to

reassure him.

"Katie, are you sure that we are going in the right direction?" asked Mia.

"Yea I'm sure, Mia, the light is pointing in this direction." replied Katie

as she took the lead. They continued to walk for a little while longer,

until Katie noticed something moving in front of them.

"Katie, what is it, why did you stop?" asked Sage. Katie pointed to some

moving shadows that were right around the corner. Sage looked over to where

she was pointing and nodded, he motioned the others to get ready to attack

once they go around the corner. The others got ready and they began to walk

carefully down the hallway corner, until they recognized a couple of voices.

"What do think that Dago will do with the DreamWalker?" asked Taz as he was

standing by a door.

"I don't care what he has planned for her, it's too bad really, I think that

she would be a lot of fun to play around with, and anyway Tae gets to play

with her first. Besides I'm sure that the guardian and her friends will be

here soon enough." replied Zeik as he stood by the other side of the door.

Now if you thought that Kento wasn't pissed off before, you should see him

now. It's taking almost everyone to hold him back.

"What makes you say that, Zeik?" asked Taz.

"Because they are right over there!" replied Zeik as he launched an attack

towards them. As soon as the dust cleared from Zeik's attack, the Ronins,

Mia and Katie were still standing thanks to Katie's force field.

"Pretty good reaction time there, Katie, would ya mind trying to getting it a

little closer next time!" said Ryo.

"Sorry about that, hey Zeik, Taz, why don't you two losers move away from the

door and let us through." warned Katie.

"Um, no I don't think so, you are going to have to make us move." replied

Zeik with a smirk.

"Ok you asked for it." said Katie as she pulled out her sais and got ready

to deliver her sure-kill. Zeik and Taz got into defensive position,

thinking that they were ready for her attack, but when they were keeping

their eyes on Katie, they didn't notice that Rowen and Kento were sneaking

up behind them. Katie saw that they were ready and pulled back from her

attack.

"What's this, is the mighty guardian giving up already, especially when

she's so close in getting her friend back?" asked Taz.

"Not exactly, no, if I were you guys I would look behind you." replied

Katie.

"Come on, do you really think that we would fall for an old trick like that?"

asked Zeik. Taz and Zeik felt a tap on their shoulders, they turned around

and saw that they were facing Rowen and Kento.

"You should have listened to the lady." said Rowen as he knocked Taz out

cold. Kento also knocked out Zeik, both guys fell to the floor unconscious.

"Kaye, are you in there, answer me?" yelled Kento through the door. A faint

sound replied.

"Stand back, I'm going to blow this door wide open." said Kento as he

delivered his sure-kill. Everyone took cover, then when they opened their

eyes, Kento was standing there for a split second and ran inside.

"Kento, wait, it could be a trap!" Mia yelled.

"Forget it, Mia, he's already inside, we might as well go in too." replied

Ryo as he made his way inside. Everyone else made their way in, they looked

around to see if there was any sign of Kaye.

"I don’t' see Kaye anywhere, it's too dark to see anything. Kaye, if you're

here say something." yelled Cye. A few more seconds passed by, it seemed

like it was hopeless, until what sounded like muffled sounds were coming

from a few feet in front of them.

"Kaye's in here I knew it, Kaye, where are you answer me?" yelled Kento.

Again muffled sounds were still coming from a few feet in front of them.

"She's over this way!" yelled Sage as he and the others ran in the direction

of the sounds. They kept on running until they could see a glint of sliver

they knew that came from parts of Kaye's subarmor. When they came closer,

something was happening, something that Katie didn't like. She recognized

the feeling, it was the same feeling that she got the last time she fought

Maguyser.

"Guys stop, that's not Kaye!" yelled Katie as she stopped dead in her

tracks. They stopped and looked back towards Katie.

"What are you talking about, Katie, of course that's Kaye." replied Mia.

Suddenly the figure that was Kaye began to change form.

"Guys, what's going on here?" asked Mia. The form that was hanging on the

wall broke free of the chains and floated in front of them.

"Well done, guardian. I see that you’re still on top of your game." replied

the form.

"Everyone get behind me, now!" yelled Katie as she quickly put up her force

field.

"Why don't you introduce me to your friends, guardian?" asked the form.

"Katie, who is this wako?" asked Ryo.

"Guys, this wako as you put it is Maguyser." replied Katie as she kept her

eyes on him.

"Where is Kaye, where is she, you better tell me, or I'll..." warned Kento.

"Or what, Hardrock, from where I stand you can't do anything about it, so I

wouldn't be standing there and making idle threats. If I were you, guardian,

I would lower down that force field, that is if you want to see your friend

ever again." replied Maguyser. Katie slowly lowered her force field.

"Now that's better, I've waited a long time, guardian. This reunion of ours

is well overdue wouldn't you say?" asked Maguyser.

"Stow it, are you going to tell us where Kaye is or are we going to have to

beat it out of you?" asked Katie.

"If I were you I wouldn't be worried about the DreamWalker right at the

moment, I would be more worried about yourself." replied Maguyser.

"What does he mean by that?" thought Katie as she kept her eyes still on

Maguyser. Unknown to everyone else Zeik and Taz finally woke up from their

so called nap.

"I think that it's time for a little payback, wouldn't you say so, Taz?"

asked Zeik.

"As a matter of fact, Zeik, yea I do." replied Taz as they both delivered an

energy wave towards the Ronins, Mia and Katie. There was not room to dodge

the on coming attack so they were hit dead on knocking everyone unconscious.

"Well done, you two, now I suggest that we take the guardian and take our

leave." said Maguyser as he picked up Katie from the ground.

"What about them, master?" asked Taz.

"Let them be, they won't be able to find their way around here without their

guide." replied Maguyser as they disappeared. Little did they know that the

ball that was guiding them was no longer in Katie's hands, it was laying

next to Sage.

The others began to slowly wake up from the attack. "Hey where did they

go?" groaned Mia.

"I'm not sure, Mia, but guys we have a couple of other problems here."

replied Rowen.

"Oh really, Rowen, and what would they be?" asked Kento angrily.

"Well I hate to say this, but Katie is gone and we have no way in knowing

where we are or where to go from here." replied Rowen.

"Katie, Katie answer me!" yelled Sage as he slammed his fist to the ground.

Everyone lowered their heads, now two of their friends were missing and they

were lost as well. When Sage opened up his eyes, he saw something glowing

right next to his arm. Sage picked up the glowing object and slowly got up

from the ground.

"Hey guys it looks like we're not totally lost after all." said Sage as he

showed everyone the same ball of light that was guiding them from before.

"Alright! Now we can go and find them, but who is closer, guys, is it Katie

or is it Kaye?" asked Kento. Sage closed his eyes and tried to get a

picture of Dago's realm.

"It looks like Katie is the closest, I can't seem to get a signal from Kaye,

Sorry, Kento." replied Sage.

"Well then let's go and find Katie and then we'll find Kaye, because no

matter what, I'm telling you this now, I'm not leaving here without Kaye,

and if Dago and any of his so called fighters get in my way, they had better

watch out." warned Kento with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

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

Kitty's POV

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

Katie woke to find herself lying on the cold stone floor of a huge room. She

looked around the room, trying to figure out where she was and how to get

back to the guys. She sat up on her knees and looked around the large room.

Searching for any signs of Maguyser or his minions. Not finding them she

stood up.

"Where am I?" Katie thought.

"Welcome to my part of this castle of doom, Guardian."

"Where are you, Maguyser?! Show yourself!" Katie shouted angrily.

She only got evil laughter as a response. She stood in a fighting stance

waiting for someone or something to make a move. Nothing happened.

Maguyser's evil laughter could still be heard, echoing throughout the room.

Then out of nowhere a blast came at her. Not having enough time to dodge she

braced herself for it. The blast hit her dead on knocking her flat on her

back.

"What's the matter little, Guardian? Too much for ya?" Maguyser taunted.

Katie sat up wearily and glared at Maguyser. "Ha! Is that all you got? That

was pathetic!" Katie shouted to him.

Maguyser smirked. "That's not even half of my powers."

"Why don't you just cut the crap. Your powers aren't fully back and your

weaker than I am! I could easily take you down right now!" she shouted at

him as she kept an icy glare on him.

Maguyser glared dangerously at her. "So the elders told you that I'm

guessing."

"No they didn't have to. I figured it out on my own. It wasn't too hard to

figure out since when I defeated you I destroyed your powers. The only way

you could have come back is by using Zeik and Taz to sustain you in this

realm. You're pathetic!" She shouted at him as she tried to stand.

"We'll see who's pathetic." Maguyser said as he sent another blast at her.

The blast hit Katie and sent her to her knees. As she was trying to catch

her breath Maguyser walked over to where she was. Keeping a distance between

him and Katie. When she had caught her breath she looked up at him.

"When I get my hands on you I'll...." Katie said in a low and dangerous

voice.

"You'll what? I don't think your in any position to be giving out threats.

But....if you think you take me on then come and get me." Maguyser taunted.

"With pleasure." Katie said.

She lounged at him just to be thrown backwards and landing on the ground

with a loud thud. Knocking her unconscious. Maguyser laughed evilly as he

watched what happened.

Meanwhile....

"Are you sure you know where you’re going, Sage?" Ryo asked as he followed the

blonde warrior.

"Yea, I'm positive." Sage replied.

The little ball of light that they had been following before was now

floating in front of Sage. Leading them to where they think Katie is. They

where now inside Dago's castle and had no idea what to expect. Quickly and

quietly they moved through the halls following the floating ball.

"Hang on, Katie we're coming." Sage thought as he followed the ball.

"I don't like this, you guys. I've got a bad feeling about this." Cye said.

"Yea I hear, ya buddy." Kento replied.

"We can't stop now we have to find Katie and then get Kaye." Rowen said.

"Right." Ryo added.

Meanwhile.....

"Oh man, what hit me?" Kaye asked as she slowly came to.

"So you’re awake. Well, it’s about time." Tae said.

"Take a hike!" Kaye shouted to him.

"Now, now I'm only here to let you know that your little friend....what's

her name? Katie, yea that's it Katie. She's been taken care of. Yup,

Maguyser took care of her." Tae said as an evil smirk appeared on his face.

"No...you’re lying!" Kaye shot back at him.

"Whatever you say." Tae said as he turned to walk away. "Oh yea and I don't

think your other little friends are going to be alive much longer."

"I've got to find away out of here." Kaye thought as she tried to get loose.
