The Ronins and Flash continued to sneak their way down the hall. The Ronins had discovered that their orbs were missing and they had to get them back. They also had to rescue White Blaze and Blaze.

"I swear if Kayura hurts White Blaze, I'll kill her!" Ryo promised as they went up the stairs.

"If I know Blaze he's already figured a way out," Flash said.

Cye looked at her. "What do you mean?" he asked her just as several shadows could be seen. All of them pressed themselves against the walls of the stairs, their bodies tense and ready.

The first soldier appeared. Ryo leapt into the air and knocked it down with a kick to the face. He ran over top of it, with the others right behind him.

"What was your question, Cye?" Flash asked.

"I asked what you meant when you said that Blaze already figured a way out."

"Well, you see Blaze has very strong teeth," Flash said, as they continued to run, "but that's not all. He has a power. I can't tell you where he gets this power from because they might be listening."

Cye nodded. More Dynasty soldiers appeared. This time about thirty of them.

"Uh oh!" Rowen said.

"We can't fight all of them!" Cye cried.

Kento picked up a metal pipe and began bashing the soldiers with it. Flash leapt into action. She frontsnapped kicked one soldier right in the face, sending it flying backward. It knocked three soldiers down putting them all out of commission.

Ryo, Rowen, Sage, and Cye joined in, knowing they could not let their friends fight by themselves. Cye managed to grab a soldier's spear and used it to fight against the soldiers.

Sage used his Kendo experience to take out more soldiers. He threw a soldier over his shoulder and backed kicked another one behind him.

Ryo elbowed a soldier as hard as he could. He was going to have a bruise later. He grabbed another soldier and slammed it very hard against the wall, and then smirked when it crumbled.

Rowen grabbed a swinging chain from one soldier and jerked as hard as he could, causing the soldier to fly around his head. Several soldiers were wiped out in the process.

Ryo suddenly ducked from the swinging chain. "Hey, watch it!"

"Ooops! Sorry!" Rowen apologized.

"Fore!" Kento suddenly called as he sent another soldier flying through the air.

"Ryo, we have got to get our orbs back," Sage said as he sent another soldier flying. "I'm getting tired."

"I know, Sage. Me too."

Flash frowned. She could see that her friends were getting tired and knew she had to do something. She called on her armor. "Armor of the Warrior! Now come!"

Instantly she was surrounded by that blue and white light. When it was gone she was dressed in her armor and holding her sword.

"You can still call on your armor?!" Rowen asked in shock. He and the others could hardly believe their eyes.

"Yeah. It's a part of me," she said with a shrug. Her sword suddenly moved out to the side, and right through a soldier's face. It crumbled to the ground.

Kento bashed another soldier with his pipe, while Cye thrust his spear through the chest of another. OK, OK, so it wasn't his spear.

Ryo slammed his feet against another soldier causing it to fall on its friends. He jumped and landed on the soldier's face and smashed his feet right through. The broken pieces caused the soldiers beneath to be destroyed.

Flash decided that she had enough. She shed her armor, and her power went into action. The Ronins felt the heat, and Cye, Kento, Rowen, and Sage backed away.

The soldiers realized what the child was going to do. They tried to escape, but it was no good. They were suddenly pieces of smoking ashes.

Flash let her power go, and her hair went down, and that flame in her forehead vanished from sight.

"Let's go!" Ryo said.

And all of them headed off down the hall again.

Sekhmet, Dais, Cale, and Kayura were all in the Dynasty's recroom, watching TV and eating popcorn. Suddenly Talpa's voice boomed over them. "The Ronins, the girl, and those two wretched beasts have escaped! Find them and recapture them!"

No one moved, until Talpa sent an energy bolt at them. "NOW!" he yelled.

"Yes, master!"

All four of them headed off, lightly smoking from the energy bolt.

They were still running down the hall. Ryo would be glad to get out of this horrible place. He knew that Mia and Yulie would be awake and very worried about them.

Kento's stomach was growling. When we get out of here, first place I'm heading to is the kitchen, he thought, smiling as visions of food popped in his head.

They raced past a room. Flash suddenly stopped. "Hello, what's this?"

They stopped and looked back at her as she entered the room. Flash looked around. "Oh, cool! Superglue gun, feather pillows, a mini fan. Alright!"

"What's alright?" Kento asked.

Flash grabbed superglue gun and the mini fan after testing to make sure it worked. She grabbed the feathered pillow.

"Let's go!" she said.

They ran down the hall again.

"What's with all that stuff?" Rowen asked.

"You'll see," Flash said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"And just where do you think you are going?"

They stopped running to see Kayura and several soldiers standing a few feet before them.

"Out of here!" Ryo snapped.

Kayura laughed. "I don't think so, Ryo of Wildfire!"

Just then there was a ferocious roar and growl. Two large animals leapt over the Ronins and Flash.

"White Blaze!" Ryo cried in relief.

"Blaze!" Flash said happily.

The others were relieved to see them too, but were still wondering how they had managed to escape.

White Blaze was taking down several soldiers. Blaze had knocked Kayura. She struggled and kicked, trying to get the beast off her.

Blaze growled angrily, then suddenly ripped her amulet off her neck. With one bite the amulet was destroyed.

Kayura blinked as the large wolf got off her. "Where am I?"

Blaze had moved to help White Blaze take out the rest of the soldiers, while Ryo, Kento, Rowen, Sage, Cye and Flash were all staring strangely at Kayura.

"What she talking about?" Flash asked.

Kayura looked up and noticed them. "Ryo? Rowen? Sage? Cye? Kento?" She looked toward Flash, her eyebrows raising curiously. "Who are you?"

"Whoa! Did she just go down Amnesia Lane or something?" Flash asked.

"She's been freed," Rowen said.

"Freed?"

"When Kayura was wearing that amulet it was controlling her. When Blaze ripped it off her, she was freed," Rowen explained.

"Ooooookaaaay."

The soldiers were finally gone. After getting the story from the Ronins, Kayura felt very bad. She apologized to them, and to Flash, and promised she would help them get their orbs and escape.

"Hey, I've got an idea!" Rowen said.

Everyone looked back at him and gathered around him.

Dais let out an impatient sigh. He had been searching through every hall and still he had seen no sight of the Ronins or that girl. Come to think of it, he wasn't sure he wanted to face the girl.

He ran into Cale. "Any luck?" he asked.

"No," The Warlord of Corruption mumbled. "I searched every place I could think of, and there's no sign of them. I say we go to the throne room, and let Master Talpa know they've escaped."

Dais nodded. "Yes, better to get punished now rather than later. Let's go."

The Ronins had just explained everything to Lady Kayura. Once she had heard the whole story, she apologized to the Ronins and to Flash, and promised to help them get their orbs back and escape.

"Wait a minute!" Rowen called. "I've got an idea!"

They gathered around him.

Sekhmet sighed impatiently. "This is just great!" he muttered. "I've been searching through these stupid halls for an hour now, and still haven't found those whelps!"

He decided to go back to the throne room. Perhaps Talpa had information on their whereabouts, or maybe the others already recaptured them.

"Knowing our luck, the pests probably escaped!" He headed for throne room. Once inside, he could see that Dais and Cale were kneeling on the stone floor with their heads bowed. Talpa was yelling at them.

"You unconfident bakas! Those pests probably already escaped by now and are heading this way!"

"Master, why should we worry?" Sekhmet asked. Talpa looked up at him and glared. Sekhmet quickly lowered his eyes, but dared to speak.

"We have the Ronin Warrior orbs. Without them they can't transform."

"Yes, I know that!" Talpa said impatiently. "But that girl has her power, and Badamon has been meditating for over four hours now, trying to figure out how to keep that girl from using it against us.

"Master, please tell us where they are," Dais implored. "I know we can capture them!"

"That won't be necessary."

All four of them looked toward the entrance. Lady Kayura was leading five chained Ronin Warriors, and carrying an unconscious Flash.

Talpa began to laugh, very pleased, while his three warlords just stared.

"How did you capture them?" Cale demanded.

Kayura chuckled. "Once you put the girl out, the others are very easy to catch."

Kayura lowered Flash to the floor and stepped back a little. Talpa rose up from his throne. "Now to get a better look at this girl."

He headed over toward her, grinning triumphantly. He came to her side and bent down to take a closer look at her.

Flash's eyes shot open suddenly. She pulled the superglue gun out of her pocket and shot Talpa with it. Talpa screamed angrily and staggered back, just as Flash leapt to her feet and grabbed the feather pillow she had been hiding. She ripped it open, and brought out the minivan.

"Hey, Talpa!" she called. He looked back at her, glaring with anger. "You know what would look good on you?" She smirked. "Feathers!"

She clicked on the fan, and all the feathers were blown into Talpa's direction. Before he knew it, he was covered with hundreds of feathers.

"Arrrrrgggghhh!" he bellowed angrily. "Wretched girl!"

Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet raced for her. At the same time all five Ronin Warriors snapped their chains like snapping a pencil.

"How did they break those chains?!" Cale demanded when they had realized it.

Blaze and White Blaze were by Talpa's throne. They had found the orbs, and quickly tossed them to the Ronin Warriors.

All five caught them, and geared up.

"That's for us to know, and you to find out," Ryo said coldly. "And you're going to get it big time! Armor of Wildfire! Dao Jin!"

The others followed suit, all armoring up as Talpa tried to rid himself of the annoying feathers and while Kayura and Flash laughed at him.

The Warlords had armored up as well, and were battling against the Ronins. There were a thousand soldiers in the throne room, fighting as well. Sage and Cale were battling very fiercely, while Rowen shot down several soldiers with his arrows. Cye was fighting against Sekhmet, constantly leaping to avoid the venom from his blades. Ryo attacked Sekhmet from behind, causing the angry Warlord to whirl around and strike at him. Ryo expertly leapt away with the Warlord in pursuit.

"Super Wave Smasher!" Cye suddenly called. Sekhmet tried to dodge but the blast of the water sent him flying into the far wall.

"Way to go, Cye!" Ryo called.

Cye twirled his Yari and smiled in triumph.

Kento was getting impatient. Dais had been attacking him with illusions, and if it hadn't been for White Blaze and Blaze he would fallen prey to them.

"You scum!" Kento snarled as he twirled his naginata between his fingers. "I'll make you pay for your deceptions!"

"Oh? And how do you plan on doing that, Hardrock?"

"Iron Rock Crusher!"

The floor shook very hard, and Dais was thrown back several feet. Cale leapt out of the way, to avoid being taken down by the flying Warlord.

"Thunder Bolt Cut!"

Cale turned his head just in time to be slammed into the opposite wall by Sage's surekill.

"Three down!" Kento said happily.

"And several more to go," Rowen said. "Arrow Shock Wave!"
