Ky lead his friends through the seemingly never ending caves. Maya stayed on her toes, trying to pin point where the Kiaru would be. Boomer was following his friends with an unconscious anthro on his back. they had all been walking for what they could assume was hours but was only 30 minutes in reality. they continued to walk on before Vintaque began to stir. She gave a long painful groan before her eyes opened slowly but then closed once again. She opened then only slightly before taking her full environment.

"W...what..?" She spoke in dazed and slightly hurt voice. Boomer set her gently against the rock wall and held her up and steady but still gently. She looked around in a slight daze till her eyes focused on the three teens in front of her. She smiled gratefully and closed her eyes.

"Thank you..." She spoke just barely above a whisper. Ky and Boomer smiled back fully in a wide smile, Maya smiled a small grateful smile. Vintaque opened one eye then looked around the cave.

"We are close to the Artifact that you seek.." She spoke out softly then she forced herself to stand and hide all the pain. She stretched slightly and grinned when a familiar little bird perched itself upon her head.

"Why Hello Cookie...Nice to see you here.." The bird chirped back and nestled down on her head. Vintaque walked forward then turned to Team Redakai.

"Follow me.." She smiled then turned back and continued walking deeper into the cave. Ky and Boomer were smiling and followed her. Maya looked to the anthro as she walked and watched as her friends followed her without a second thought. She sighed and hesitantly followed the Eteen.


Zane was leading his team carefully through the cave that was believed to hold the Kairu energy. Zair had complained a few about how the earth environment while Techris remained silent through the entire walk. He was tuning out his little sisters remarks about the blue planet and started thinking.

That Anthro...She knows where the Kairu is...She is able to ban a kairu challenge...She too is not human yet she protects this planet and it's inhabitants...foolish girl...Once Master Lokar takes over the universe this planet will be nothing more then a spec of dust...All the things that she finds great and beautiful will be gone...I would love to see her face when she is told so...Maybe if I tell this girl of this she will be hired by Master Lokar and she will forget this filthy planet...Wait...why would I want to or even think of telling her and suggesting Master Lokar Higher her?...These cave conditions must be getting to me...

Zane shook his head then snapped his head to his sister.

"Zair will you please for the love of all things just shut up!" He hissed at her. She pouted and glared at him before crossing her arms and walking ahead of him. Techris walked next to him then tapped his shoulder.

"Thank you.." He almost whined out, seems that Zane wasn't the only one tired of his sister's yammering. Zane nodded before walking off in the direction his sister went with Tehris following behind him.


Master Boaddai was meditating when he felt a shift in the Kairu energy.

"Hmm..?" He looked around him and saw nothing but knew something was wrong. Very wrong. He raised from his meditating position and walked back to the temple and looked within it. He walked for sometime before a thud sounded down the hall. He stopped in his tracks and waited. When nothing happened he walked to where the thud had sounded. He reached a large wooden door and opened it.

Inside the door was a barely lit room and in the corner of the room was a book that had fallen off its shelf. Master Boaddai walked over and picked up the book then placed it back on the shelf. He was about to exit the room when suddenly the very same book fell to the ground only it seemed to be have thrown clear across the room with such a force. He stopped at the door and looked into the room. Something was in here. And it wanted his attention.


Mookee was sitting or more sleeping in the hover ship when he was awoken by the alarms going off.

"Oh What The!" He didn't have anytime to yell out for help when he was suddenly grabbed an thrown into a bag. He struggled for sometime until something hit him up his head and knocked him out. He was then dragged out of the Hover ship.


Vintaque led the team through the base when she suddenly gaped loudly and held her chest.

"Vintaque! What's wrong?" Ky asked worriedly. Vintaque had no clue what had just happened but she felt like the air was knocked right out of her. She looked around herself before dropping to her knees and leaning against the cave wall she gave shallow breathes with her eyes wide open.

Ky and Boomer looked to the anthro in worry and confusion. They had no clue what was going on. The heard a loud gasp from behind then and when they turned around they saw Maya in the same position as Vintaque. Boomer went over to Maya while Ky went over Vintaque. Both were now gasping for air and their eyes were rolling back. They were gasping for air that seemed to be non-existent to them. Vintaque felt as if she was going to draw her last breath while Maya was flooded by the amount of Kairu energy that had washed over her.


Well I hope this makes up for the short previous chapter! X3 Again Sorry about that and even making you wait for so long! DX

I only own Vintaque.
