Put a candle in the window
'cause I feel I gotta move.
Thought I'm goin' goin'

It was over, for all of them. The war with Talpa, the whole thing with the sorcerer capturing Sage and trying to use his armor for evil purposes, the blank Inferno armor. It was all done. After the black Inferno their armors had vanished and they had begun to think that now they where truly free. Free of the pain, free of the fighting, and free of everything thing that came from the armor. And so they had begun to drift apart from one another, but that was to be expected, after all they reminded each other of the war.
Now they all knew it would never be over. Rowen had been the first to fall to her, then one by one the others. They had all hoped that somehow Ryo would ovoid having his armor imprison him, just so the Inferno wouldn't form. However Ryo let her put the armor on him, much to everyone's horror. Then the Inferno formed and they where freed from the armor for a short time. After watching a scene they where once again forced into the armor and their worst nightmares where realized, they had no control over where the armors went at all.
Pack my bag and let's get moving
'cause I'm bound to drift a while.
When I'm gone gone
you don't have to worry
long as I can see the light.
While the armors kept them together, they couldn't do as they please. Slowly one by one they began to fall into depression. The only escape from these new armors appeared to be death, and that was a step none of them where ready to take yet.
Guess I've got that travelin' bone
'cause this feeling won't leave alone.
But I won't won't
be losin' my way
long as I can see the light.
One day, as the armors had them separated, Cye snapped. He couldn't take it anymore. Breaking the control the armor had over him for a few minutes he was able to kill himself. As he lay dying he began to feel truly free.
The others felt as soon as Cye died. Amazingly their next meeting no tears where shed, each of them realized that in order to be free they would need to do the same.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Oh Yeah,
Put a Candle in the window
'cause I feel I gotta move.
Thought I'm goin' goin'
I'll be comin home soon
long as I can see the light.
As a group they broke control of the armors for a few seconds and each plunged their weapons into their chests. They all collapsed and as a group gave their last breath, and died.
Waking up as one, even Cye, they found themselves free of the armors. They all knew where they where, Warrior's Heaven.
