Rogue Ronin's POV

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

Kaye looked around to try and see what was going on. There was no one

around just complete silence, "guys, Katie, Lightning? Is anyone here?"

yelled Kaye. Minutes passed and still no reply, Kaye knew that this wasn't

good.

"Great just great, this is all that I need. I'm alone and I don't have the

slightest clue of where I am or the others are for that matter. Well

instead of just standing around, I guess that I better find a way out of

here." thought Kaye as she began to walk in no particular direction. Just

then in the distance, there was a silver glow. Kaye began to walk

cautiously towards it. For some reason she felt that there was some type of

connection between her and this light. Kaye continued to walk towards it,

until she heard someone calling out to her.

"DreamWalker, we finally meet." said the voice.

Kaye suddenly stopped, "Who are you and how do you know about me?" asked

Kaye.

"My name is Silver Tiger, I'm the spirit of your armor." replied Silver

Tiger.

"But how can this be? I thought that Lightning was my connection to my

armor?" asked Kaye in confusion.

"Actually we both are, but that is a story for another time. Right now we

have more pressing matters at hand." replied Silver Tiger.

"Ok sure, alright then you more in likely know that we were forcefully

separated from each other, and if we don't get reunited soon, then we both

will perish." explained Kaye.

"Yes, I know." replied Silver Tiger.

"Then how do I get you back?" asked Kaye.

"I'm sorry I can not tell you. You are going to have to figure out that on

your own." replied Silver Tiger.

"Some help you are." said Kaye sarcastically.

"Don't despair, the one that you call Kento of Hardrock will help you find

your way." replied Silver Tiger as he began to fade.

"Kaye, come on, Kaye, open your eyes, wake up!" yelled Kento as he was holding

her. Kaye began to slowly open her eyes and found herself looking straight

into Kento's grey-blue eyes.

"Kento." said Kaye as she raised her hand to his face. He then grabbed her

hand and smiled.

"Kaye, what happened?" asked Cye as he looked at the two.

Kaye turned her attention from Kento and looked at Cye as she was getting up

from the floor. "I'm not sure, Cye, one minute we were talking, and the next

Katie changed. Katie, oh my god, where is she, Katie!" yelled Kaye as she

looked around, then she saw Katie in a different armor and standing off

against Maguyser. Kaye started to run into the room where the battle was

going on, then someone grabbed onto her arm stopping her from going any

further. Kaye looked back to see that it was Rowen.

"Rowen, let go, Katie needs our help can't you see that?!" asked Kaye as she

glared at Rowen.

"Kaye, in case that you've forgotten, you're not exactly in the best

condition to help anybody right at the moment." said Sage.

"Then what do you suggest that we do, Sage, just sit back and watch? No I

refuse to do that, I know that you and Ryo feel the same way as I do, admit

it." replied Kaye in anger.

"Kaye, yea, alright I admit it, I want to be out there just as much as you

do, but we have to get your armor back. So until then you can't afford to

get hurt any more or worse." Ryo yelled back.

By now Kaye was way past angry, "In case you've forgotten, Ryo, I will end up

for the worse if I don't get my armor back soon." Kaye yelled.

"Kaye, this is one time that I wish that you would stop being so stubborn!"

said Kento as he got in front of her. As Kaye lowered her head, Rowen let

go of her arm, she knew that they were right in what they said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean...." said Kaye quietly.

"It's alright, Kaye, we know that you didn't mean it. You've been through a

lot, trust me everything will work out. You just need to have faith."

replied Cye as he walked up to her.

"Yea, you're right, Cye thanks, I have something to tell you guys that may

seem well kind of weird." said Kaye.

"What is it, did something happen to you when you were out cold?" asked

Kento with concern.

"Kind of, for some reason my armor talked to me. I don't understand why it

chose now, but it actually talked to me." replied Kaye.

"Well what did it say? Did it tell you how to get your armor back or what?"

asked Ryo.

"No not quite, first of all the armor's name is Silver Tiger and he said

that he was my connection to my armor. Second, he said that I would have to

figure out on my own on how to get it back, but also that Kento would some

how help me find my way." explained Kaye. The guys looked more than a

little confused by Kaye's explanation.

"Hold up, I thought that Lightning was your connection to your armor not

this Silver Tiger?" asked Sage.

"That's what I asked him, but he said that they both are, but he wouldn't

tell me how." replied Kaye.

"Ok then I have a question, how am I suppose to help you find your way?"

asked Kento.

"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that we're going to find out soon

enough." replied Kaye as she motioned to the battle that has just then

intensified.

"Guys, I know that you're thinking that you're doing the right thing by

sheltering me here, but you're wrong. Because every time that Maguyser and

Dago launch an attack and hurt someone, they are using my armor. It's my

fault, it's all my fault, and I won't allow it to go on any longer." said

Kaye as she looked onto the battle between Katie and Maguyser.

"Well then Kaye since you're all set on stopping them, at least stay close

alright." replied Kento. Kaye nodded her head to show that she understood,

and then they all got ready to face the fight that laid ahead.

Meanwhile....

"Man Maguyser is really juiced! I suppose that stealing power from Kaye's

armor doesn't hurt either." thought Katie as she got out of the way.

"Hold still, guardian, how am I suppose to get a clear shot at you if you

keep on jumping out of the way?" asked Maguyser as he was getting a little

annoyed.

"I see that even with stealing the power from Kaye's armor still isn't

enough for you. It doesn't matter either way, you are going to pay for all

of the pain that you've caused!" warned Katie as she struck out with her

sais.

"Where are your friends now guardian? Especially when you know that you

will soon perish." taunted Maguyser as he launched an electric attack at her.

It hit right on target throwing Katie back a few feet. Maguyser turned

his back on her for a minute to show the others how powerful he was. Katie

was slowly getting up from the floor with anger showing in her eyes.

"Ok that's it, I've had enough, now you are going to get it! Silent Wings

of Death!" yelled Katie as she delivered her sure-kill towards Maguyser.

The attack hit Maguyser right in the middle of his back and he fell straight

to the ground.

"What, I don't believe this, she actually hurt me with that!" thought

Maguyser angrily as he turned to face Katie.

"If you want some more, then come on I have plenty where that came from?"

taunted Katie as she got ready to launch it again. Maguyser slowly got up

from the floor keeping his eyes on Katie the whole time. Little known to

Katie, Dago was going to attack her from behind.

"Katie, watch it! Lightning, come!" yelled Kaye as she took off to intercept

Dago's attack. The guys tried to stop Kaye, but she got out of there before

they could even get a hold of her.

"Kaye, dammit! Come on guys we better hurry up or we're going to miss all

of the fun." said Kento as he started to take off after her. The others

shook their head and ran after him, they were just about to reach Kaye when

Tae, Lio, Soto, Taz and Zeik appeared in front of them.

"Sorry Ronins, but don't worry about missing out on all of the fun. We're

going to have our own kind of fun right here." said Tae as he and the others

faced off against the Ronins. This is how the battle ground stood, Katie

fighting Maguyser, Kaye and Lightning against Dago, Kento facing off with

Tae. Cye against Taz, Sage fighting Zeik, Ryo against Soto, and Rowen

fighting Lio.

"DreamWalker, you've came out of hiding. It's about time, now we can get

down to business." taunted Dago.

"Get real, I am going to get my armor back and when I do, you will pay for

everything that you've done." warned Kaye as she and Lightning got ready to

fight.

"What makes you believe that you even have enough strength to fight me?"

asked Dago.

"What makes you believe that I don't?" Kaye asked back as she was ready to

strike.

'Kaye, I'm with you all the way.' said Lightning as he stood next to her

ready for anything.

'Thanks, I'm definitely going to need you to back me up my friend.' replied

Kaye as she kept her eyes on Dago.

"Well, Hardrock, round two, maybe when I'm done mopping the floor with you,

I'll make sure to tell your DreamWalker how easily you were beaten. Then

after that we'll continue where we left off from before. You know what, you

don't know how lucky you were to find such a one like her. It's too bad

that you won't get to say goodbye." taunted Tae as he attacked Kento.

"That was your last mistake, pal, now I will personally make sure that you

will pay for what you have done! You will never touch her again!" yelled

Kento as he blocked the attack and delivered one of his own. Kento's attack

made Tae fly across the room and right into the wall where he was

unconscious.

"Wow, Kento, nice move but I think that Kaye and Lightning are going to need

some back up." said Cye as he defined against Taz.

"Are you guys going to be ok?" asked Kento before he started to take off in

their direction.

"We'll be fine, just go. We can take care of these turkeys." replied Ryo as

he attacked Soto. Kento nodded and ran towards Kaye and Lightning.

"I'm coming, Kaye, hang on." thought Kento as he ran up next to Kaye and

Lightning.

"Kento, shouldn't you be helping out the others, and what happened with

Tae?" asked Kaye as she got out of the way from Dago's attack.

"Let's just say that he won't be getting up for a while, and besides the

guys can take care of themselves. We still need to get your armor back

right, so then let's do it." said Kento as he got ready to attack Dago.

Maguyser had to get out of the way from Tae's body that was flying in his

general direction. Katie quickly glanced back to where Tae's body came from

and smiled. "Note to self, don't ever piss off Kento."

"How could he do that, it's not possible!" yelled Maguyser.

"Anything is possible, now it's your turn. Silent Wings of Death!" yelled

Katie again as she delivered her sure-kill.

Dago launched an attack towards Kaye, Kento and Lightning, they jumped out

out the way, but just barely missing the attack. "Ok now that was too

close, Kento are you alright?" asked Kaye as she looked at him.

"Yea I'm ok how about you?" Kento replied.

"Yea just great." replied Kaye as she grinned.

'Lightning, are you all right, Lightning?' asked Kaye as she looked around.

"Kaye, what's wrong?" asked Kento with concern.

"I can't find Lightning, I called out to him, but he didn't answer.

Lightning!" said Kaye as she spotted him laying on the floor not too far

away. Kaye quickly got up and ran to him with Kento not too far behind.

'Kaye, I'm all right. That jerk just got me off guard that's all.' replied

Lightning as he got up.

"Ok now that is the absolute last straw, I have had it. You took away my

armor, fine. Your fighter Tae violated me, ok he paid for that. But now

you've done it, you hurt Lightning and no one gets away with that!" said

Kaye in a dangerous voice as her kanji on her forehead and on her chain

flared up.

"What do you plan to do about it, DreamWalker? You don't have an armor

remember?" taunted Dago.

"It's not a problem, I just realized on how I can get my armor back, and by

the way, Dago, one more thing." said Kaye as she got ready to attack.

"Yea, what's that?" asked Dago as he was ready take whatever Kaye was

planning to do.

"Get ready for a one way trip, because you're never coming back!" said Kaye

as she tackled Dago and disappeared.

"KAYE!" yelled Kento. Everyone turned to where Dago and Kaye use to be

standing.

"Kento, what happened?" asked Cye as he and the others finished their fights.

Even Maguyser and Katie stopped their fight to see what happened.

"Dago, attacked, we jumped out of the way, Lightning got hit, Kaye got

really, really mad and tackled Dago and then they both disappeared."

explained Kento.

"The foolish girl, I didn't really think that she would do it, but she did."

taunted Maguyser as he was laughing evilly.

"What do you mean, you didn't think that she would do it? What are you

talking about? Where did they go?" asked Katie as she brought up her sais

for another attack.

"They disappeared into the void, it's where the DreamWalker's armor is being

stored. Now if she can get it back from there and get out alive, then that

would be something to see." said Maguyser.

"Just wait and see, pal, Kaye will come back alive and with her armor."

replied Cye.

"Well then let's just wait and see shall we? In the meantime, let us

continue our dance shall we?" asked Maguyser.

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

Kitty's POV

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

Katie twirled her sais' expertly as she glared dangerously at Maguyser.

"I've been waiting a long time to get you back for what you did to Tensu."

Katie said.

"Oh, are you still upset over that little fool." Maguyser laughed as he

spoke. "Get over it. Soon it won't matter though because I'm going to get

you back. Your going to be my warrior once again. With you by my side

nothing will stand in my way." He said and laughed evilly.

Katie smirked evilly at him. Then it hit her. All her memories of her past.

The poor samurai's she killed without a second thought. The massacres and

tortures. Tensu's last words to her. She held her hands on her head and fell

to her knees. Not wanting to remember anything.

Sage and Ryo looked over at her. "KATIE!" They both yelled to her. She

didn't respond to them. They tried to run over to her, but was stopped by an

invisible force field.

"Not this time Ronins. You won't stop me from reclaiming what's mine. I will

have my warrior back. I don't think you'll like her after she's be

reawakened though." Maguyser said and erupted in a fit of evil laughter.

"No! You can't have her! I won't let you!" Ryo shouted angrily at him as his

temper started to flare. Sage looked helplessly over at Katie. He didn't

know what to do to help her. He didn't want to lose her, but he also didn't

know what to do.

"Temper, temper little Ronin." Maguyser taunted as he shook his finger at

him.

"I'll give you a temper." Ryo said through clenched teeth. He put his

katanas together and leaped into the air. "Flare Up Now!!" He shouted and

aimed his sure-kill at the invisible force field in front of him. The

sure-kill hit it and channeled the energy to Katie, shocking her. Katie

screamed in pain as she wrapped her arms around herself. Ryo and Sage

watched in horror as Katie was shocked by her own brother's sure-kill.

"No." Ryo whispered.

"What have you done, Ryo?" Sage asked quietly.

"I don't know." Ryo replied.

The shocking stopped and Katie fell forward, collapsed on the floor.

Maguyser laughed and walked over to her. Ryo and Sage both glared as they

watched him; helpless to do anything. He walked over to her and with a wave

of his hand floated her up in the air in front of him. He smiled evilly as

he looked at her.

'Now my warrior, its time for you to be reawakened." He said as his eyes

glowed red and Katie began to glow with a bright light. Her eyes were closed

and Ryo and Sage couldn't tell if she was breathing or not.

The new events had got the attention of the rest of them and they all now

stood and watched. Zeik and Taz smirked as they knew what was happening. For

some reason Rowen, Kento and Cye got the feeling they weren't going to like

what was about to happen.

Katie continued to glow brighter and brighter until there was a flash of

light and when everyone looked back Katie was standing next to Maguyser. Her

outfit was the same only it looked, brighter then it had before. Maguyser

smirked at them and looked over at his now reawakened warrior of Death

Angel.

"Awaken my warrior and meet your knew enemies." Maguyser commanded.

Katie did as she was commanded. She snapped her eyes open to reveal dark

blue eyes void of emotions or feelings. She sneered at the Ronins. "Master

Maguyser these cannot be my enemies. They are nothing but weaklings in

armor." She said.

Maguyser smiled evilly at hearing her call him 'Master Maguyser' again.

"Yes, Katie of Death Angel, these are your enemies. Now dispose of them." He

commanded. Katie nodded and walked towards them. All five Ronins stood wide

eyed at what they had just heard.

"Hey, Katie, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?" Kento asked sounding

confused.

"He's the enemy, not us." Cye added.

Katie stopped walking and stood in front of the Ronins. She lowered her head

and laughed some. "You silly little fools." She said as she raised her head

to look at them. "You all are my enemy. Master Maguyser wants you all dead

and so I think it’s time to say good bye." She said as she crossed her arms

in front of her face. Her two sais' appeared in her hands. She twirled them

and then held them at her sides. Rowen looked at her sais' and noticed

something different about them.

Instead of them just being plain they had Japanese writing on them. He knew

she meant what she said when he saw that. "Guys, it’s not Katie." He said.

They all looked at him like he was crazy. "What do you mean, Rowen?" Ryo

asked him.

"She's not the Katie we know. She's Katie of the Death Angel, Maguyser's

warrior." Rowen stated.

"What are you talking about Rowen? Of course that's Katie! It has to be."

Sage replied sounding confused and worried at the same time.

Katie smirked and clapped some. "Bravo Strata, you really are a genius. I

mean you figured out I was the mysterious warrior and now you figured out

I'm not who you all think I am." She said, every word dripping with sarcasm.

Cye blinked and Ryo lowered his head. He knew the person standing in front

of him wasn't his sister, but an emotionless demon; a warrior who didn't

care if they lived or died. He looked over at Sage and could see that he was

taking this hard. The warrior of light had his head lowered and he could see

he was crying some. He felt bad for him, he knew how much Katie meant to

him.

Katie yawned impatiently. "Well, are you all just going to sit around and

chat all day or are we gonna fight?"

Ryo tightened the grip on his katanas and stared at the emotionless warrior

in front of him. "No, we're not. You'd better get ready for the fight of

your life."

Katie smiled evilly. "Bring it on."

Meanwhile.......

Kaye and Dago were duking it out in the void they had been thrown into. Kaye

was loosing and she knew it. She had to get her armor back and soon. A

silver light started to glow in front of the two warriors. They both stopped

fighting and looked at it. The light began to change shape, it started to

change into Kaye's full body armor except it was different.

The armor was still black, with silver etchings of tigers on both arms and

legs, but this time the new additions were on her front and back, these two

etchings had a dragon on the left side, a tiger on the right side that were

both encompassed inside a circle and divided by a wavery line down the

middle. Dago stood in shock and wonderment at what he saw.

"Hello, Kaye, we meet again." Silver Tiger said.

"Silver Tiger, it’s you." Kaye said sounding confused.

"Yes, Kaye, it is I. We must be rejoined right now. You know what to do."

Silver Tiger said.

Kaye nodded and her Kanji on her forehead and the kanji around her neck

started to glow. Silver Tiger turned into a ball of light and incased Kaye

in a bright silver light. Dago growled in angry.

“No, I won't let you take the armor away from me!" He shouted as he lounged

at Kaye. A bright silver light shot from her and hit Dago, sending him

flying back. The silver light formed the Tiger Armor and when the light

faded Kaye stood in her full armor once again.

Meanwhile......

"Give up, Wildfire, you cannot beat me!" Katie shouted at him as she swung at

him left and right with her sais'. Ryo counter attacked her attacks with his

katanas and kept fighting her.

"I won't give up. I'm going to keep fighting you. Katie's depending on me."

He said with determination. Katie back hand sprung away form him and landed

a little ways away, she smirked.

"Don't you get it. Your sister's gone Wildfire." She said to him.

"No, she's not. She's somewhere in there counting on me to help her. I won't

let her down, I'm going to get her back just you watch me!" Ryo shouted at

her and lounged at her.

The four Ronins, Zeik and Taz stood by and watched the fight. Ryo had told

them not to get in involved and they had done so. Watching form the

sidelines as their leader fought the person who fifteen minutes ago was

Katie of the Crystal. Now she was some heartless warrior they didn't know.

Kento lowered his head and noticed that his kanji was glowing. He knew what

he had to do. He concentrated on his Kanji and on Kaye. "Come on, Kaye,

please make it back alright." He thought. Just then a void opened up and

Kaye stepped out of it wearing her new Tiger Armor.

"Kaye!" Kento shouted to her.

Kaye smiled and walked over to them. She then looked over at the fight that

was going on and frowned. "What happened? Who's Ryo fighting?" She asked.

Everyone lowered their heads or looked away.

"He's fighting Katie." Cye finally said.

"He's what?! Why?" Kaye stammered.

"Maguyser got a hold of her. We couldn't stop him..." Rowen said, but

stopped when Kaye started to walk towards the two fighters.

"Hey, Kaye, where are you going?" Kento asked.

"To stop something and finish something." Kaye answered without looking

back. She kept walking towards the battle with one thing on her mind. Saving

Katie and stopping Maguyser.

The battle between Katie and Ryo intensified as Maguyser stood by and

watched. Pleased with his warrior. Just then Katie jumped back away form him

and smirked. "It’s all over now Wildfire, good bye." She said as she threw

her sais' in the air. White feathers flew up from all around her, she held

her right hand in the air and shouted Silent Wings of Death. She brought her

hand down and pointed it at Ryo. Her sais' and feathers flew towards Ryo.

She smiled to herself thinking she had won. "So much for him." She said as

she caught her sais' when they came back to her and turned from the fight.

"Not so fast." A voice called out.

"Huh?!" Katie shouted as she spun around to find Kaye standing in front of

Ryo, protecting him. He stood in amazement and unharmed.

"So you’re Katie of Death Angel? I've heard so much about you." She said.

"Really? Well, that's good, at least I don't have to introduce myself."

Katie said sarcastically.

"Cute, but I think it’s time you gave up and let Katie go." Kaye said.

"I don't think so, you see I am Katie or at least her dark side. I've been

imprisoned in a void of darkness for far too long and now that I'm back...."

She started and then smiled evilly. "I don't wanna go back."

"Then I guess I'll have to make you go back then." Kaye said in a dangerous

voice.

"Let’s see if you can. I need a bit of a work out anyway." Katie said and

lunged at Kaye. The fight between Kaye and Katie started with everyone

wondering what would happen.
