A/N: Fire Emblem isn't mine. OCs are involved. It's not angsty or anything, well, maybe not...ah, well, just read on and I'll explain their 'reason' better.

"What?" Ike asked, wondering if the guy was being sarcastic.

"Well, that's what they want. I don't really care." Kai replied. "But I can't abandon them, after all they've done for me."

"Who are you talking about?" Soren inquired.

"Can't tell. That'd be the same as betraying them." Suddenly, a laguz warrior ran inside the tent.

"S-sir! Ranulf needs some help with the other prisoner!"

"Yipee. I can't wait what kind of mess that tomboy made this time." Kai sighed.

Well, it wasn't too bad of a mess. But it was big enough. Mei was, though she was tied up, beating up a couple Gallia Soldiers with only her legs. Seriously, she jumped on one's shoulder, kneed him in the back, and stomped him in the ground. Two more Gallia soldiers came, but they weren't very much help. Had they transformed, maybe, but if they weren't, no help at all. She just beat them up, kicking. Luckily, those same soldiers were saved by Ranulf, and by saved meant he came and tackled the tomboy away from them.

"Oof!" Mei shook her head, getting even more angry. "Stupid Laguz!! Untie me NOW!!" She ordered, completely ignoring her situation.

"Mei, cut it out." Ike and the others arrived, Kai included. "We don't want to cause any more trouble."

"Trouble!? TROUBLE!? I'll show you trouble!!" Her body began to let out a red aura, causing Kai to snap his attention to her.

"Quick untie me!" Kai said, Ike giving him a look saying, what? "Hurry! Before she does something even more reckless!" Ike looked at Soren, who was thinking on it. "HURRY!" Soren nodded, and Ike untied Kai. At that moment, Kai charged at Mei, and with all his strength, headbutted her. Hard.

Mei was knocked back a few feet, feeling like a bull ran her over. "OWWWWWW!"

"Think before you do something, will you?" Kai said, almost falling over. Looks like Mei wasn't the only one in pain.

"Grah!!" Instead of rope, this time Mei was in chains. "Dammit Kai! When I'm through with you, you'll be nothing but a bloody pulp!!" She began to toss and turn, attemtping to break free of her chains. Kai was tied up, again, and sitting beside her. He leaned down to her ear, a serious look was on his face.

"Look, if you 'changed' there, do you know how bad that'd be?" He whispered. "Serene's not with us, so if you go crazy, what'll we do?" Mei actually stayed quiet. "I'd be forced to 'stop' you. Would you like that?"

"...No.." Mei whispered back.

"Good, now stay still, don't make a fuss, and let's see if they'll let us live." Kai sighed. "If they don't...then I'll let you do what you want." He glared back at her when she began to smile. "If they do, don't touch them. U N D E R S T A N D...?"

"Yeah..."

"So what's the plan with these two?" Ranulf came, looking at the two strangers. "Are they Bengions? Crimeas? Daeins?" Kai twitched at the sound of the last one, while Mei simply barked back.

"DAEINS!? Who the heck would side with those...those...!"

"Shh!" Kai made the girl stay quiet, earning a few glances from the others. "Uh, sorry. We...don't really want to talk about that."

"Well, they could be spies for all we know...I'd think dealing with them now would be the wisest choice." Soren said, seeing Ike deep in thought.

"Hmm...I don't know..." Mei was slowly sliding a dagger out from her back pocket. The fools didn't realize she had more than two daggers with her. She was ready to cut Kai's restraints, then have him do his stuff. Kai glanced at her briefly, signalling her to not do anything yet. "Hmm...is there any other way?"

"...There is one, but I'm against it." Soren replied.

"Well, you never know. Let's hear it." Soren sighed heavily, turning his back on his commander.

"...We could have them work for us, keeping one here as a hostage. The small fight they made earlier-"

"Excuse me, but it was tomboy here picking the fights, not me." Mei's leg barely missed Kai's head.

"...They seem to be experianced fighters. We'll have them fight for us, keep an eye on them, and dispose of them if they become dangerous."

"...Yeah...would give Mei a couple chances? I'm pretty sure she'll be under that 'dangerous' list no time at all." This time Mei's legs met their target, making a hitting noise echo through the camp.

"...Very well then. I'll deal with them myself if they do." Ike said, earning a sigh from Soren.

"If you say so, Commander." And he left, leaving the two strangers, Ike, and Ranulf alone.

"Well, understand?" Ike said. "We'll let you live, IF you follow our orders."

"Fol...low...your orders...?!" Mei tried as hard as she could to not snap at the words, while Kai nodded.

"Sure, but word of advice." He stared at Mei. "...It might be best if I fight while Mei here's the 'hostage'."

"...Backstabber!"

"I'm just making sure we aren't killed." Kai defended himself. "Knowing you, I bet you'd use it as a chance to 'accidently' hurt someone." He shook his head. "The bigger the mess you make, the more I'll have to clean up. Just try and behave alright?"

"Fine!" Mei turned her back on Kai, acting like a kid. Ike untied Kai.

"But...why do you guys want world destruction?"

"Sorry, can't tell you." Kai replied. "I already said too much." Kai stretched a bit, Ranulf handed Kai's weapons back. "Well, what do you want me to do?"

A/N: Kai's weapons are guns by the way. Though...I'll explain them later.
