Rogue Ronin's POV

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

"If the master saw what just happened, you know what he would of done to

us." said Tae. The other two nodded knowing full well of what their master

would do to them if he found out about this. So the three walked in silence

until they came upon two large doors that has ancient inscriptions embedded

on them. Soto opened the door and they walked inside to report to their

master of what took place at the tournament.

"Well, my loyal fighters, how did things work out at the tournament, did

everything go as planned?" asked the master.

The three looked at each other nervously before answering. "You see, oh

powerful one, the one that you are searching for was at the tournament. She

stopped me from completing my job." Tae reported.

"You encountered the DreamWalker so soon, and after I told you to make sure

that she doesn't interfere in the first phase. You know that we wouldn't be

ready for her until the full moon which is tomorrow night." said Dago

angrily.

"We are sorry, master Dago, we'll make sure that we won't make another

mistake like that again." replied Soto.

"You have better make sure that you don't, now since you've already made

yourselves known to the DreamWalker, does she suspect what the true purpose

to you being at the tournament?" asked Dago.

"No, master Dago, I don't believe she knows, but I do believe that she does

suspect something is going on." replied Lio.

"Well then we are just going to have to step up our plans a bit." mused

Dago.

"Master Dago, we don't think that the DreamWalker is working alone." said

Soto.

"What do you mean by not working alone?" asked Dago.

"You see, master Dago, it seems that the Ronin Warriors are somehow connected

with DreamWalker." said Lio.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Dago.

"It looks like they are acting something like a family, but the one that is

called Hardrock acts differently towards the DreamWalker." said Lio.

"Explain this to me." replied Dago.

"It kind of looks like Hardrock and the DreamWalker show the same feelings

toward each other. Kind of like they care deeply for one another." said

Soto.

"Interesting, this could play in our favor somehow. What else happened at

the tournament? I know something else happened, I sensed another presence

there now tell me." ordered Dago.

"Yes, of course, master Dago, well while we were standing by the weapons

display getting ready to put phase two into action, something happened.

There was an explosion and it blew a whole right in the stadium wall. It

was then that we noticed some new players in the game. Two men and a girl

with an armor like the Ronin Warriors. The two men didn't seem like they

were too worried about the DreamWalker or the Ronins, their only concern was

the girl with the armor." explained Tae.

"They could be a problem, for now just stand back and stay on the plan for

now. If they get in the way you'll know what to do when the time comes.

Our main priority is the DreamWalker, we have to get her or everything is

lost. Do you understand me, is phase two still in play?" said Dago.

"Yes, of course, master Dago, everything is ready for the second part of the

tournament." replied Tae.

"Good, now onto more important matters." said Dago as he began to fill in

his three warriors on what he had in mind.

~~--~~

Everyone was in the living room discussing what went on during that day, but

Kaye didn't exactly feel like being very social at the moment. So she

decided to turn her head to the window and watch the rain fall. "Man what a

day, I thought that for a short while things would be peaceful for once.

Yea right what was I thinking?" thought Kaye.

Cye noticed that Kaye wasn't exactly her usual self, so he decided to do

something about it. So he elbowed Kento and motioned him to see if they

could see what's on her mind to have her so distant. "Kaye, earth to Kaye

hey are you there?" asked Kento.

"Huh, oh Kento, sorry, did you say something?" asked Kaye as she snapped out

of her daze.

"Yea, actually Cye and I were wondering, if you would like to go with us and

pick up some desert for everybody." replied Kento.

"Kento, are you two crazy, it's raining outside in case you didn't notice."

said Kaye.

"Yea so what, let's just go already. The sooner we get going the sooner

we'll get back." said Kento eagerly.

"Kaye, you know once Kento gets this way it's hard to get him to calm down."

replied Cye.

"I know, alright fine, let's go if we're going but we are going to take my

car alright." said Kaye in a defeated tone.

"You got it, so let's go come on, Kaye, hurry it up would ya." said Kento.

"Settle down, Kento, I'm coming, I'm coming." replied Kaye as she grabbed her

keys from the counter. While Kento was pulling Kaye to her car, Cye turned

back to the others giving a sign that everything will be taken care of, then

he went out the door and joined Kaye and Kento. Kaye turned the ignition

and drove out of the driveway towards town in the rain.

"Only a complete fool would actually want to go to town in the pouring rain

to get desert, oh well." thought Kaye as she continued driving.

Surprisingly it didn't take long to get into town. She knew where exactly to

go in order to get the best desert in town. It was a little coffee shop

that was on the corner. Kaye made a full stop and shut off her car, Kento

got out of the and opened up the driver's side door for Kaye. She was a

little surprised by this. Cye just shook his head and waited for the two by

the coffee shop's door. Then they went in and placed their order, it didn't

take very long for them to get it since they were pretty much regulars

anyway.

Then on the way out Kento got another idea. "Kaye, why don't you and Cye

wait for me in the car, I'll be right back." said Kento as he ran around the

corner.

"Kento, what, Cye, do you know what Kento is up to? Come on you must have

some kind of an idea?" asked Kaye.

"Sorry, Kaye, I don't have a clue, I guess that we'll both see when he gets

back. It looks like it finally stopped raining." said Cye as he diverted

Kaye's attention away from the corner so Kento could sneak back to the car.

"What is taking him so long?" asked Kaye as she started to get annoyed.

"Why don't you turn around and look behind you?" said Kento. Kaye nearly

jumped when Kento spoke.

"Kento, I really wish that you would stop doing that." said Kaye as she was

trying to catch her breath.

"Sorry about that, Kaye, but I had to get something before we went back

home." replied Kento.

"Cye, would you please tell him to stop being so evasive already?" asked

Kaye.

"Sorry, Kaye, I'm staying out of this one." replied Cye with a smirk.

"Thanks a lot, Cye, remind me to do you a favor sometime. Alright, Kento

what's that behind your back, and if you don't tell me soon, you'll be

walking home." said Kaye.

"Well if you really want to know, but first you have to close your eyes."

replied Kento.

"Alright fine, I'll play along." said Kaye as she closed her eyes.

"Now hold out your hands." said Kento. Kaye just frowned at him with her

eyes still closed. Then she finally decided to just go with the flow.

Kento took the object behind his back and placed it into her hands.

"Alright, Kaye you can open your eyes now." said Kento with a grin. Kaye

slowly opened up her eyes, and noticed a single rose in her hands. She

looked at Kento and gave him a big hug. Kaye then looked at Cye, he gave

her a quick wink to show that he knew all the time what was Kento's intent.

"Thank you, Kento, and you too, Cye, I feel much better now. So what do you

say that we finally get back home, I'm sure the others are wondering what's

taking us so long." replied Kaye with a smile.

"Now that's the Kaye that we know, yea we better get home before Kento eats

all of the desert." said Cye. Kaye started the car and they were on their

way back home. It didn't take long for them to get back. Kaye pulled into

the driveway and shut off her car. Kento opened up Kaye's door again and

then they went inside where everyone was waiting patiently for their return.

"Hey what took you guys so long?" asked Katie.

"Sorry about that, something came up and it had to be taken care of right

away." answered Cye as he motioned to where Kaye was trying to keep Kento

from eating all of the desert.

"Oh I see, and did it work?" asked Mia.

"See for yourself." replied Cye just as Kaye and Kento came into the

living room. They noticed that Kaye still had the rose that Kento gave her

earlier.

"Kaye, are you feeling any better about what happened today at the

tournament?" asked Katie.

"Yea actually I am, and you know what, I think that the other competitors

had better watch out. Because I'm more than ready to show them that even a

fall from a catwalk won't faze me." declared Kaye.

"It's confirmed people, Kaye is definitely back to normal." said Rowen with

a smirk.

"Oh yea how can you tell?" asked Katie.

"Simple, it's because ever since we've known Kaye she always had this strong

determination about her. It's like no matter what happens Kaye knows that

she will do anything in her power to set things right, no matter what."

replied Sage with a smile.

"It's getting late, I think that I better get going. My aunt will more in

likely worry about me if I'm not home soon." said Katie as she was making

her way to the front door.

"Hey, Katie, wait a minute and I'll walk you to your car." replied Sage. It

didn't take Sage long to come back inside.

"What happened, Sage, did she turn you down already?" asked Ryo.

"For your information, Ryo, no she didn't. Actually Katie gave me her phone

number." replied Sage with a smirk.

Kaye rolled her eyes and got up from where she was sitting and walked

towards the stairs. "Goodnight, everybody, I think that Katie has the right

idea, I'm going to bed." said Kaye from the top of the stairs. Kaye shut

the door to her room, still holding onto her rose that she got from Kento,

looked at it for a little while longer and placed it in a small vase that

was next to her nightstand. When Kaye was getting ready for bed, she

decided to check out her right shoulder to see if that red gash was still

there from when she woke up that morning. She noticed that it was still

there, but what she didn't notice that it began to have a small red glow.

"It was a good thing that the medics didn't notice that gash on my shoulder.

I still wonder though who caught me when I was falling. I know that it was

an energy ball of some kind. Well I guess I better get some sleep if I'm

going to do well in the tourney tomorrow." thought Kaye as she climbed into

bed. Kaye looked at the rose one more time before she drifted off into a

peaceful slumber, that was what she thought anyway.

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

Kitty's POV

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

Katie smiled as she drove home. Remembering Sage walking her to her car and

then asking her for her phone number. She had gladly given him her number

and then got in her car and drove off. "Gods what was I thinking giving him

my number? He's probably going to be calling me everyday now." She laughed

as she thought about that. Then her smile faded into a frown.

"I think Kaye's on to me. She knows that someone slowed her fall, she even

thinks it was some sort of energy that slowed her down." Katie thought as

she drove.

"I'm going to have to be careful around her and try not to use my powers as

much as possible."

She pulled into her drive way and parked her car. Turning it off and getting

out she headed for her front door. She didn't even get the chance to open it

when her aunt threw the door open and embraced her in a huge hug.

"Oh, my sweet little niece is home." her aunt said as she hugged her.

"Ahh....aunty mom, can you let me go? You’re squeezing too hard." She said. Her

aunt let her go immediately and ushered her inside.

"Oh, I'm so sorry sweetie, "I'm just so glad to see you home." Her aunt said

as she helped a now coughing and wheezing Katie sit down on the couch.

Katie waved it off. "It’s ok." She said as she smiled. Her smile then once

again turned to a frown. Her aunt saw the frown and sat down next to her on

the couch.

"What happened?" she asked as she looked at her niece.

Katie sighed and turned to face her aunt. "2 guys showed up at the

tournament and tried to kill me, then Kaye fell off the catwalk and I had to

help her by creating an invisible energy field around her. Big mistake cuz

now she's trying to figure out what slowed her down." She sighed again. "I

think an enemy of Kaye's is after her and is trying to sabotage the tourney.

I don't know who these guys are that keep coming after me, but I have a

feeling the elders know."

She frowned at the thought of her niece having to fight again. The first

battle was tough enough, now she has to try and defeat this new enemy and

keep her identity a secret from the others. "I say you go and pay them a

visit. They might know something." Her aunt said as she smiled at her

worried niece.

Katie nodded and then smiled again at her aunt. "What happened? Let me guess

you got a new boyfriend?" her aunt said as she peered curiously at her.

Katie blushed and looked at the floor. "Yea, Sage asked me for my phone

number and I gave him it." She said as she kept her gaze at the floor. she

smiled brightly at her.

"My little girl got a new boyfriend." She said as she got up and walked

towards the kitchen. "This calls for a celebration. Pizza and a movie!" her

aunt said as she walked towards the phone in the kitchen.

Katie just shook her head. "Sorry, aunty mom, but I have to get a good nights

sleep and talk to the elders. We can't celebrate tonight."

Her aunt frowned and hung the phone up. "Oh ok, I understand." she said as

she watched her niece walk up the stairs and go into her room, shutting the

door behind her. She shook her head.

"I feel so bad for her." Was all she said as she sat down to watch According

to Jim on the TV.

Katie stood in her room. She sighed and got ready to teleport to the elders.

"Well, here goes nothing." And with that she snapped her fingers and was

immediately transported out of her room. Katie appeared in front of what

appeared to be a temple. She walked inside the temple and was greeted by

swords blocking her way.

"It’s me, Katie, now let me through," she said. As soon as she announced who

she was the swords were removed and she walked past them.

She entered a large room that looked like a thrown room. Sitting in front of

her were the 4 elders or the 4 grumpy old men as she liked to call them. The

were dressed in white robes and sat on thrones. She bowed politely at them.

"I've come to ask for your help. Recently 2 guys attacked me when I was at

the tournament today and I don't know who they are." The elders all nodded

there heads in what she said.

"We saw what happened. We know who they are." The elder on the far right

said. "The 2 guys who attacked you are Zeik and Taz."

"Zeik and Taz?" Katie asked.

"Yes, and there's more. Your old enemy Maguyser is back." The elder on the

far left spoke. Katie gasped remembering him.

"He cannot hurt you now though." The elder second from the elder in the

middle on the right said.

"He is still weak from your last battle and needs to regain his strength."

Katie nodded. "Zeik and Taz huh? I don't remember them from the last battle"

The elder second from the middle on the right nodded.

"Right you are. They are new followers of Maguyser, poor souls that were

corrupted by evil."

"So then that means I can turn them back right?" Katie asked as she looked

from elder to elder.

Finally the eldest elder spoke. "Yes you can, but beware. I sense a new evil

also forming. They're after a young girl." "Kaye?" He nodded. "I believe

her name is Kaye. She is a DreamWalker. I have a mission for you, Katie. I

want you to keep an eye on her and also take care of Maguyser before he

gains full strength again."

Katie nodded excepting her mission. "Good, we will be watching out for you.

If we find anything else out we'll let you know." The eldest spoke.

Katie nodded. "Alright. I'll see ya around." And with that she bowed and

turned to walk out of the temple. Once outside she snapped her fingers again

and was instantly teleported back to her room.

"They want me to watch out for Kaye huh? I'll see if I can. From what Sage

told me she's very determined. This'll be hard." She thought aloud. Thinking

of Sage she smiled. While she was thinking the same bright lavender and pink

light started to glow and pulsate again.

"Yea, I know crystal...Maguyser's back." She turned around and looked at the

'marble' on her dresser. "We're gonna get him this time." Saying this the

'marble' stopped glowing and became dormant again. Katie smiled and fell back

on her bed. Closing her eyes she quickly feel fast asleep wishing that

tomorrow was already here.
