When they got home Mia ran out the door, "What happened? Your all soaked through the skin."

Sage let Anubis take Cye upstairs to help him change, "It's ok Mia. The Dynasty just tried to get us again."

Mia gave a worried look, "Is everyone one ok?"

"Yes Mia everyone is fine. We're just a little tired that's all." Sage could tell Mia wasn't going to buy all of what he just said. Cye probably wasn't ok. He most likely had a cold now.

Mia nodded reluctantly, "I'll take that answer right now. But after dinner you and me are going to talk. Now go get into some dry clothes and I'll start dinner. All of you now mush."

Upstairs Anubis walked out of Cye and Kento's room closing the door quietly.

He saw the others coming up the stairs and hushed them, "Torrent's asleep. So don't wake him."

Then he went down and helped Mia.

Kento opened the door quietly and tip toed in to grab a dry t-shirt and some dry jeans.

He heard Cye's music. "All you need is love. Love is all you need…"

Kento laughed. It was the Beatles. He went over and turned it down so only Cye could hear it.

As he got dressed his mind kept bringing back pictures of Cye hurt in their last battles. Why they kept beating on little Cye he would never know.

He heard a groan. Kento looked over to Cye's bed. "Cye?"

The youngest Ronin kept turning from side to side.

Kento moved closer, "Cye wake up buddy."

Nothing Happened. Cye's arms and legs were flying every which way.

Kento ran into the hall, "Sage Rowen, Ryo get in 'ere Cye is going mad."

"Cye you're not needed honey. Come back home young one." A voice echoed.

A woman appeared that looked just like Cye. Cye's eyes widened, "Mum?"

The woman nodded, "Yes honey it's me."

Cye fell into his mom's arms letting her hold him tight.

Out in the real world.

"What did you do Kento?" asked Anubis.

Kento shook his head and shrugged, "I don't know. He just started going wild."

In the Dream World.

"Stay with me baby. They don't need you."

Cye wasn't too sure what his mother was talking about. He let go of her and backed away. "How do you know about the Ronin Warriors. You and Dad died before I got my armor."

Suddenly his mother changed into a very ugly woman with a ghostly face, "How very smart of you Torrent."

The scenery changed. He was now standing in a deserted wasteland, dead bodies were everywhere.

"I am Calu, The Warlordess of Death." She moved forward and pulled him with her in a vise like grip.

Out in the Real World.

Cye's body had stopped moving all together. It glowed as his sub-armor appeared.

"Hey what's goin' on?" Rowen got closer worried.

The others did to. Then as if on instinct all of them touched him and they disappeared in a bright blinding light.

They all reappeared in sub-armor in a waste land.

A faint scream was heard off into the distance.

"Hey that's Cye!! Come on we've gotta go after him." Kento started running the others following close behind.

When they got there they saw Cye being drained of his energy and life force.

"AHHH…S..stop it…pl..please.." Tears were streaming down Cye's cheks. His body felt like it was going to explode.

"Help Me!! Someone…it hurts…Oh God someone help me." Cye's voice was hoarse from screaming so that it came over very coarse.

"Stop it you're killing him!" shouted Ryo.

Calu stopped, Cye falling to the ground. "Yes, Wildfire I know. That was the point."

Cye crawled over weakly and fell into Sage's embrace.

Calu smiled then changed her looks she now looked like Cye's father, "Cye come here. You've been a bad boy."

Cye didn't obey he couldn't even if he wanted too. He was too weak as it was. He decided to let the others deal with her, "He's not my dad…" He mumered hoarsely hugging Sage a bit tighter.

"Cye Micheal Mouri don't you even recognize your own father? I thought I raised you better than that." Calu smiled her little trick looked like it was starting to work.

Cye looked up weakly, "No one knows my full name except my parents."

Kento shook his head standing in front of Cye and Sage, "Don' listen to him..er..I mean her She's lying Cye don't listen."

Sage held Cye closer, "Don't you touch him."

Calu frowned changing back into her original form. "I don't have to touch him to finish my job." She closed her eyes and Cye started glowing. His screams pierced the silence.

Finally his sub-armor left him in his holey jeans and Beatles shirt. He fell back into Sage panting trying to catch breath.

"Sage…..Ma..Make her stop…please.." sobbed Cye.

Sage didn't know what to do, "Ryo how do we stop her without hurting Cye?"

Ryo didn't get to answer for Calu had started draining his life too.

"Ryo,,man..this is not good." Kento turned around when he heard Sage start screaming. "Not Sage too."

Sage knew why Cye had been crying his body was burning and it really hurt bad.

He held Cye close to him trying not to scream. "Hang..in there…Cye.."

Kento kept looking to his friends in pain then to Calu. ::Why didn't that hurt me? I wonder if my new armor would help any. Maybe if I destroy her, their energy and life force will come back.::

"ARMOR OF EARTH QUAKE DAO CHIN!" Kento shouted calling on his armor.

"Time to rock and roll baby. Hey ya old hag mess with someone your own size."

Calu stopped draining the other Ronins energy and turned around, "Did you just call me an old hag?"

Kento nodded grinning, "I don't see any other old ladies around here with wrinkling skin and ugly hair, so I guess so."

"Why you ignorant little brat." Calu lounged at him.

Kento was too quick and jumped out of the way, "I'm ignorant yes. Little…um unfortunately no. And I guess I could be a brat but you see that's Cye's job."

That response just got Calu even madder, "Get back here. I want to give you a piece of my mind." She shot a blast of fire nearly singeing Kento's butt.

Kento dodged the hot fire, "You and everyone else."

Ryo woke up just in time to see Kento dodge the fire. "Kento?"

Kento smiled at Ryo as he landed, "Hey man 'bout time you woke up."

"Sorry. I had to get my beauty sleep." Ryo called on the wildfire armor.

"Kento power down to your regular armor so we can hoefully form the inferno."

"Ryo no beauty sleep can help you now man." Kento laughed as he powered down.

Ryo raised an eye brow, "At least I don't get women mad dude. She looks like the evil type. Why did you marry her?"

Calu froze watching them joke back and forth.

Kento shrugged, "Hey I was bored. Besides I thought you wanted a mother."

Ryo glared, "I'm not that desperate." He knelt beside Rowen, "Hey dude wake up."

Rowen groaned and sat up, "What do you want Ryo?"

"The only way to get rid of Calu is to form the inferno."

"But can Cye handle it? I don't feel like risking anything." Rowen stood up calling on his armor.

Sage sat up his arms still around Cye, "Ryo we're too weak to form the inferno."

"We've got to try Sage. Now try to wake up Cye." Ryo urged. ::I know we're too weak to form the inferno but we have to try.::

Calu smiled, "Go ahead Ronins show me this wonderful inferno armor. I'm ready for ya."

"I've got Cye awake now lets try." Sage closed his eyes concentrating hard. His power left him. Cye's did too making him go limp.

Kento sent his and Rowen followed.

The power hit Ryo hard, "ARMOR OF INFERNO!!"

Calu stepped back, "Nice armor wildfire. But how good does it do in battle?"

Ryo put the inferno swords together and put his arms over his head and brought them down fast, "RAGE OF INFERNO!"



Fire cam out and hit Calu pulling her body apart.

"Nooooooo this wasn't suppose to happen. You will pay Ronin Warriors!"

Then she disappeared.

The ground started shaking things came crashing down.

"What's going on?" asked Kento dodging some rocks.

"The dream world is destroying it's self." Exclaimed Sage.

They all got knocked unconscious from the falling debri.
