Lloyd enjoyed fighting. He enjoyed clashing weapons with the enemy. He enjoyed being able charge towards the enemy without worrying about being quiet. He was not enjoying this though. He was being forced to not only sneak around without being caught, but to also kill any lone desians quickly and quietly without being caught.

"Why can't we just charge the enemies?" Lloyd asked in a whisper as they were hiding a desian body. Kaze looked at Lloyd.

"If we were to encounter a decently sized group of enemies, they could hold us off while one of them reports us. Head to head, we could probably handle 4 desians at once, but we'd have a lot of trouble if anymore showed up. So until we reach the boss, you'll have to deal with it." Kaze explained quietly. Lloyd looked confused and Kaze had a feeling he was about to ask another question.

"Do you even know where the boss is?" Lloyd asked in a whisper. Kaze didn't respond for a while. Lloyd sighed angrily.

"It's true I don't know where the boss of this base is. So when we reach a hallway with some rooms, we'll have to look one by one. If the room has desians in it, then and only then, will we go loud. When that room is cleared however, we go back to stealthy." Kaze answered. Lloyd slightly cheered up at the answer. The body was now hidden in a small closet.

"Let's go. We have to kill that man." Kaze said as he continued down the hall. As Lloyd chased after him, he thought one thing.

'Why does this guy want to kill the man in charge of here so badly?'

Mistukai sighed as she walked to the cafeteria. She really missed Kaze. He was the only one who tolerated her annoying side, and the one that she most often worked with. Of course there was also Hoken, but he wasn't as fun. He was always training, hoping to beat Kioshi, the leader of the Elementalists. Everyone else was either on missions or getting ready to go on one.

Just as she reached the cafeteria, someone grabbed her shoulder. Mistukai turned to see a petit girl with light blue hair flowing down to her back.

"Hey Yukiko. Shouldn't you be on a mission?" Mistukai asked curiously. Yukiko shook her head.

"I just got back." She answered with a small smile.

"Good. Me and you are the only ones not doing anything." Mistukai said gleefully. Again, Yukiko shook her head.

"The commander wants to see you. Has a mission for you or something like that." Yukiko said. Mistukai sighed. Now she missed lunch, and depending how long the mission was, she might end up missing Kaze when he got back. But, the commander was boss.

"Okay then. I'll see you around." Mistukai said and just like that, she turned to the commander's office and began walking off. She was wondering what he wanted. As far as she could tell, there shouldn't have been many missions, yet all of the team was gone off somewhere. As she thought about it, she bumped into someone. She looked up to a face she didn't want to see.

"Watch where you're going, Idiot Angel. " The man sneered. She sighed as she stared up at Raidon, the only man whose attitude changed after gaining his elemental signature. Before, he was a decent guy. Now, the only person he respected was himself. He believed that he was the strongest even after losing to Kioshi several times without landing a single hit on him.

"Sorry Jackass." Mistukai replied, pulling herself up. Raidon was the only person in the world that she would insult with that kind of language. Whether he liked it or not, she didn't care, he didn't dare assault a teammate.

"Watch what you say now a days, Angel, as it could be the last thing you say. After all, you are talking to the strongest man on the team." Raidon said with a sneer and a glare directed towards her. She sighed... again.

"Raidon, you dumb thunder head, for the... 107th time, you are not the strongest member on the team. Kioshi has that title. That's the reason the commander assigned him the position of leader." Mistukai announced. Raidon glared.

"Well, our almighty leader, didn't get the job to protect the chosen now did she? I will be the one to receive that honor." Raidon announced. Mistukai grinned and was tempted to laugh in his face.

"Actually, you're not going to be the one to protect the chosen." Mistukai said with a pissed of expression on her face.

"And why's that Idiot Angel? Because you're going to?" Raidon mocked.

"No. Kaze was already assigned that job." Mistukai replied. Raidon's eyes went wide.

"What?! Why would he give Kaze of all people that mission?!" Raidon asked, obviously surprised and pissed.

"I don't know. Now if you excuse me, I have a mission briefing to attend." Mistukai said, walking by Raidon. After she was gone, Raidon thought to himself.

'I should've gotten that mission. Well, I'll make sure that Kaze doesn't survive his mission, regardless of orders anymore.' Raidon turned back to the exit.

Kaze sighed as they tried the final door. Kaze shook his head towards Lloyd.

"No good. This door is locked as well. Damn it all. This is the only path too." Kaze growled as he tried kicking down the door. Lloyd looked around.

"Maybe it has to do with that cube thingy?" Lloyd said pointing to the object in the middle. Kaze stared at it.

"Hmm.... it's called a GameCube." Kaze said staring closely at it. Around it were three spheres, red, blue and green. On the outside of those three gems, were three more of the exact same colors. He looked around again and saw three pillars flowing energy, sparks occasionally flying out. In front of those pillars were platforms with a different symbol on it. One had a circle half filled, another had a circle with a quarter of it filled, and the final one was a circle with an eighth of it filled. Kaze thought about then realized what to do.

He looked over the spheres and turned to Lloyd.

"Step on that platform," He pointed to the one with half of the circle filled in, " and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the pillar." Lloyd, while looking confused, did as he was told and watched as the outside gems moved around. Kaze nodded.

"Now step on that one," He pointed to the one with a quarter of it filled in, "and shoot at the pillar." Lloyd nodded, now knowing what was going on, and did what he was told. The red gems were now next to each other. Lloyd jumped when the room turned red. Kaze looked towards the south door.

"I was wondering why there was gems over the doors. Come on Lloyd, we might be lucky." Kaze said. They walked into the room to see a straight hallway that led to a single door at the end. Surrounding the hallway were 4 pillars.

"I guess this is the exit." Kaze said. Lloyd ran towards it, before Kaze pulled him back.

"Hold up. Remember our deal Lloyd? You help me kill the man in charge of this place, and I help you find your friends." Kaze said with a stern voice.

"But... my friends..." Lloyd paused. Kaze sighed.

"They're most likely on their way already. That friend of yours pulled a quick one and got away from the desians. He probably went for help." Kaze said casually. Lloyd looked stunned.

"Genis... stayed with me?" Lloyd asked. Kaze nodded and turned back.

"Yeah. So by helping me, I'll be helping you at the same time. Now let's go, we'll try a different door." Lloyd nodded and followed him out the door.

Mistukai looked at the commander's glaring red eyes.

"I fear that one of Magnius' scouts had found this location just a couple minutes ago. I want you to find out for me, and if my fears are true, eliminate the scout before he reaches the ranch. We cannot be found out yet." Mistukai nodded. As she turned to leave she stopped to think about how mad Raidon was outside the room. She turned around.

"Umm... commander?" She asked. The commander sighed and looked at her.

"What is it Mistukai? I'm a busy man." He said.

"I think you should keep an eye on Raidon. He's becoming more reckless, and more independent. Soon, he'll just abandon everything and go after anyone that pisses him off, whether they're ally or not." Mistukai explained. The commander closed his eyes.

"It's too late. Raidon already left with the thought of killing Kaze in his mind." The commander said calmly. Mistukai's eyes opened wide.

"Why didn't you try and stop him?!" She asked angrily. The commander sighed.

"Because, I trust that Kaze won't die to a fool like him. Kaze has a lot of potential. Do you trust him as well?" Mistukai was shocked.

"O-of course!" She stuttered out.

"Then trust that Kaze can handle this. Dismissed." The commander said. Mistukai left without another word.

'I hope you warn him in time, Hoken.' The commander said before looking over his letters.

As they unlocked the green door, Lloyd turned to Kaze.

"Why do you want to kill this guy? I mean , I want to kill all the desians, but you sound like you're willing to die in order to kill this guy. And why did you save me?" Lloyd asked. Kaze sighed.

"Both those questions can be answered easily. When I was a child, my parents were taken away by desians and I watched as a perfectly capable warrior walked by and did nothing to save them. He told me if I wanted to waste my life saving people who I don't even know, then I should go for it. I forgot about it until now. I want my revenge. And I will get it." Kaze answered.

"Now let's go." Lloyd nodded and followed Kaze into the final room. The room where a battle would be raged.

Raidon glared ahead. He smirked evilly.

"You're going to die soon Kaze. I deserved to defend the chosen. Now she can die for all I care." He whispered. Not quietly enough as it turned out.

"So, you're out to kill the Chosen One too, huh?" He turned to see a girl in purple.

"That I am."

"Care to make a truce?" Raidon grinned. This was getting better and better.

There's the chapter. I can guess that a lot of people know who Raidon was talking to. R&R!!!
