Rogue Ronin's POV CHAPTER 11
=================================================================================================
"Kento get Kaye out of here, we'll hold them off." yelled Katie. Kento turned around and saw that Kaye had that look in her eyes that he has seen before.
"Kaye don't, I know that look so just forget about it." said Kento.
"I'm sorry Kento, but I'm not going to just leave my friends behind just because some jerks want to take me to their master, forget it." replied Kaye with that determined look in her eyes. She transformed into her subarmor and got ready to fight.
"Hey guys it looks like we're staying." Kento yelled back to their friends.
"Then that makes it seven against three now." said Ryo.
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are, we'll still intend to take DreamWalker back to master Dago." replied Soto.
"Kento since Kaye is determined to stay and fight, then stay close to her." said Cye.
"I don't think that will be a problem Cye." replied Kento with a wink. Cye just shook his head and put his focus back onto Soto, Lio, and Tae.
"What's up with these guys, why haven't they made a move yet?" thought Katie.
"Well it looks like those three won't mess this up after all, but still I think that I better give them a little push into the right direction." thought Dago as he was watching the fight between his fighters, and the others. A thick fog started to encircle them, blocking their visions.
"Hey what's going on?" asked Rowen.
"It looks like master Dago has decided to make the fight a little more interesting." replied Tae.
"Remember brothers, what the main reason why we came." said Lio.
"Yes Lio we remember, but we can still have a little fun before we go." replied Tae.
"Everybody stay close, try and not get separated." yelled Sage as the fog became thicker by the minute.
"Yes stay closer, that way we can get all of you in one shot." thought Soto as he launched an attack towards them. Soto's energy attack was right on it's mark, it was heading straight for the Ronins, Kaye and Katie. It hit the ground just inches before making contact, Katie managed to put up a force field just in time.
"Nice work Katie, now if we can just focus, then we could find them and kick their sorry butts. There they are, behind those statues!" yelled Sage.
"Great it looks like they found us out, maybe we should give up and go home?" asked Lio.
The three looked at each other, "no I don't think so." replied Tae as he disappeared from where he was and reappeared next to Kaye.
"Kaye watch it, get down!" warned Kento as he delivered a punch to Tae's face. With a blink of an eye, Tae disappeared before Kento could land his punch.
"Man this guys is fast, what are we suppose to do?" asked Katie.
"I'm not sure Katie, but if we don't think of something quick, then we're in major trouble." replied Ryo.
"Here's an idea for you, why don't you just hand over DreamWalker and you'll live. If not, then well I would hate to see what would happen if you didn't hand her over." said Soto.
"Like I said before, I'm not going anywhere with you guys so you had better just forget it and fight." replied Kaye.
"It's too bad that you are going to do this the hard way, but I guess if that's the way that you want it, then that's the way it'll be." said Tae as he started to glow red.
"Guys this can't be good." replied Katie as she got into defensive position.
"When someone glows like that Katie, no it's never a good thing. I do have a suggestion though." said Sage.
"Oh yea and what is your brilliant suggetion Sage?" asked Katie.
"Take cover!" yelled Sage as he grabbed Katie and dove for the nearest tree. The others also took cover right behind them.
"I think that you missed, Tae." said Soto.
"I guess that I did, but why don't you give it a try Soto maybe you'll have better luck." replied Tae.
"Don't mind if I do." replied Soto as he got ready to launch an attack on them.
"Is everyone alright?" asked Ryo.
"I guess so, how about you Kaye?" asked Kento. Kaye didn't answer right away she was holding her right shoulder wincing in pain.
"Yea Kento I'm ok, I'm just a little ticked off." replied Kaye as she took her hand off of her shoulder. In the moonlight they could see that Kaye wasn't telling the truth, there was blood flowing down her right arm.
"Kaye you stay right here no matter what you stay here. I'm going to make them pay." said Kento as his eyes flared with pure anger.
"Kento, wait, don't!" yelled Kaye as she fell back against the tree. Kento didn't hear Kaye shout out to him, he just kept on walking towards the three fighters.
"Guys we have to stop him before he gets himself in way over his head." said Katie as she watched Kento get even closer to the three fighters.
"I do feel kind of sorry for those guys though, but Katie is right we better get to Kento before he gets into major trouble." replied Cye as he got up and went to catch up with Kento. The others followed Cye leaving Katie watching Kaye.
"Does this fool really believe that he could hurt us?" asked Lio.
"I suppose he does, well let him play the fool if he wants to it'll do him no good. Acutally this could work in our favor come to think of it." said Tae.
"What do you mean?" asked Soto.
"How is your attack coming Soto?" asked Tae.
"I see where you're going Tae, and I think it's brilliant, while I distract the Ronins, you and Lio will go and capture DreamWallker. I like it, so when does the fun begin?" asked Soto.
"Just wait a few seconds and then launch your attack, wait for it, wait for it, and now!" yelled Soto as he and Lio disappeared from where they were. Just as the others were about to catch up to Kento, Soto delivered his attack. Kento and the others dove out of the way.
"Hey is everybody ok?" asked Sage.
"Yea Sage, no problem. That guy is toast, but where did the other two go?" asked Kento. Just as he asked that question, Rowen saw them appear not too far from where Kaye and Katie were now standing in defensive positions.
"They're over there, come on guys we have to get back to them now." replied Rowen as he quickly got up and ran in Kaye's and Katie's direction. The others followed Rowen, but just as they were leaving Soto delivered another attack towards them. Luckily the attack missed the Ronins and crashed into a tree that was in front of them.
"I can't have you interfere with our master's plans now can I? Why don't you Ronin Warriors come and fight, unless of course you don't think that you can beat me that is. Oh come on now, it was a little while ago seven against three now it's five against one. Do you think that those are very fair odds?" challanged Soto. Kento, Cye and Ryo turned and faced Tae and Lio, while Sage and Rowen faced off with Soto.
"Katie we have to do something, I don't intend to just stand around and do nothing, and I know that you don't either." whispered Kaye angrily.
"You're right Kaye, but at the moment we don't have much of a choice in the matter. Your shoulder is in major pain and you're bleeding on top of it." replied Katie.
"Right now I don't care about that, I just want to help the guys. They need us Katie and you know it." said Kaye angrily.
She knew that Kaye was right, "alright Kaye we'll help them out, but be careful." replied Katie.
"You got it, ok it looks like we have to split up, Katie I'm going to need you to run a diversion while I go around and try a sneak attack from above." said Kaye as she got ready.
"Well Ronins what are you going to do now? Soon we'll be able to get what we came for and you won't be able to do a thing about it." taunted Tae.
"Guess again, you know what Tae, Kaye was right." replied Katie.
"Oh really what was DreamWalker right about?" asked Tae as Kaye took her attacking position from above the trees.
"You guys talk too much." replied Katie with a smirk. This made both Tae and Lio a little over the edge. They launched an attack towards Katie, but she had no problems avoiding them. This gave Kaye enough time to jump from the trees and land in front of Lio. As soon as she landed Kaye delivered a sweep knocking him down to the ground. Tae turned around and saw what she did, his eyes glowed red and he was about to launch an attack. But just then something else hit him from behind. While Tae had his complete concentration on his target, he forgot about the Ronins that were in back of him.
"No, you Ronins can't get the best of my fighters, there's no possible way. Unless of course why didn't I think of it before." Thought Dago as he reached his hand into the caldron. Suddenly a giant swirl of clouds began to form above their heads.
"What's going on, where did that come from?" yelled Sage.
"I don't know but whatever it is, it doesn't look good." Ryo yelled back. The large hand that was coming from the clouds started to grab for Kaye. She dodged it barely escaping, then a bolt of lightning hit the giant hand. Kaye looked back and saw that Sage delivered his thunderbolt cut.
"Kaye watch it, he's coming back again!" warned Cye. Kaye turned around and saw the giant hand moving towards her once again. The giant hand this time did get a hold of Kaye, she was struggling trying to get out of its grip. Kento and the others ran to where the giant hand was pulling Kaye into the giant swirl of clouds.
"Give her back now!" yelled Kento.
"Forget it Hardrock, you and your friends have seen the last of DreamWalker. Well I suppose that we better be going too, it was fun while it lasted, bye." taunted Tae before they disappeared from the park.
"Kaye come back, come back!" yelled Kento as he fell to his knees. The others went up to Kento, not knowing what to say.
"Kento, we'll get Kaye back. We better tell Mia what happened, they are best friends, so she has to know." said Cye as he tried to get Kento to stand up.
"Yea Cye, Mia does deserve to know." replied Kento sadly. They started to walk back to where Mia was waiting anxiously to find out what happened.
"Guys what happened, where's Kaye?" asked Mia.
"Mia they got her, we tried to stop them, I'm sorry, but know this Mia I promise that I'll help to get Kaye back." replied Katie. The ride home was deathly quiet, no one knew what to say. They got home and everyone went their separate ways to try and figure out what their next move will be. Mia noticed that Kento still hasn't came out of the car, so she walked over to him.
"Hey Kento, we'll get Kaye back and we'll teach those jerks that they can't get away with this." Mia said. Kento was still quiet, Mia decided that he had better just be left alone. She began to walk away until he spoke.
"Mia the last thing that Kaye said to me is that she trusts me. How can she trust me when I couldn't protect her?" asked Kento quietly.
"Kento, I've known Kaye for a very long time, and I've also known you and the other Ronins for a very long time too. So then I know that Kaye believes that somehow we'll all be together again." replied Mia with a small smile.
"Thanks Mia, I guess that I just needed to hear that." said Kento as he finally got out of the car and walked inside.
"Ok Cye you can come out now." said Mia as she turned around.
"How did you know that I was there?" asked Cye.
"Come on Cye give me a little credit would ya, and besides I saw a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror." replied Mia with a smile.
"Mia how are you doing, like you said Kaye is your best friend. If something like that happened to Kento I wouldn't know what to do." said Cye.
"Truthfully Cye, I have to be strong, yea it's tearing me up but I have to believe that everything will work out, I just have to." replied Mia.

Kitty's POV
=================================================================================================
Later on that night everyone came back to the house to eat dinner. Katie had called her aunt and explained to her what had happened and that she might be staying with them for a while. Her aunt had agreed that it was a good idea that she stay there and wished them all luck on getting Kaye back. Katie had said her goodbyes to her and hung up the phone. It was after dinner now and Ryo had called a meeting in the livingroom. Everyone was seated in the livingroom trying to come up with a plan to get Kaye back and not doing too good with it.
Katie leaned against the wall in the living room with her head down. "I've failed." She said in an almost unaudible voice.
Ryo looked over at her with a questionable look. "What did you say Katie?"
Katie looked up at him. "I've failed my mission."
"Mission? What mission Katie?" Cye asked as he too took interest in the conversation.
"Katie is there something that your not telling us?" Rowen asked.
Katie took in a deep breath before she answered him. "Yes, Rowen there is something that I haven't told you guys." Katie said.
"What is it?" Sage asked also now coming into the conversation.
"I'm part of a select few of guardians that the Elders pick." Katie said.
"Elders?" Cye asked.
Katie kind of laughed thinking of them. "4 grumpy old men that are immortal and have unimaginable powers."
"Are they on our side or on the other side?" Rowen asked.
"They have dedicated their lives to protecting the people of Earth and using their powers for only good." Katie replied.
"Why are you just now telling us about this?" Kento asked.
"I'm not supposed to be telling any of you at all. The only reason I am now is because I thought you all should know." Katie said starting to get a little annoyed.
"OK makes sense." Kento said.
"Katie what did you mean by "I've failed?" asked Ryo.
Katie waited before she answered. "The elders gave me the mission of protecting Kaye. I was supposed to keep her out of harm and from the enemy at all costs...I.." Lets herself slide down the wall and come to rest on the floor. "I've failed my mission. I let them get Kaye." She let silent tears fall down her face.
Sage instinctively went to her side. Pulling her into his embrace he tried to comfort her. "Katie it wasn't your fault. We all let her down not just you. It was out of our control."
"Ohh man...why didn't we stop them?!" Kento shouted as he punched the wall leaving a giant whole where his fist was.
"Kento calm down." Cye said hoping he could calm his best friend.
"Pounding the wall isn't going to bring Kaye back Kento." Mia said from where she sat on the couch. Her speaking startled everyone.
"She's right Kento, we need a plan." Ryo said as he started to think.
Meanwhile.....
"So the little guardian thinks she's failed. Well, then why not play into this. You know I think we should go and pay this Dago guy a visit." Maguyser said as he stood up from his throne.
"Does this mean we're going on a trip, lord?" Zeik asked.
"Yea, we're going to go and meet Dago." Taz said.
"Right you are Taz, now come we must go and meet Dago." Maguyser said as he and his warriors left for Dago's.
Meanwhile.......
"Ohh man where am I?" Kaye asked as she slowly came to.
"Did you have a nice sleep DreamWalker?" Dago asked Kaye.
Kaye glared at him. "So you must be this Dago guy they were talking about."
"I'm flattered that you remembered DreamWalker." Dago said.
"Well, don't be." Kaye replied.
Dago laughed some at her statement. "I must leave you now DreamWalker. I have guests to talk to."
"Guests?" Kaye asked.
"Yes, but don't worry they're not your friends. Although I'm sure they'll be after them in due time. Bye for now." Dago said as he walked off and left Kaye alone.
Dago entered his throne room to find Maguyser and his warriors all ready there and waiting for him. "So you must be Maguyser, I've been waiting to meet you." Dago said.
"Yes, I'm Maguyser and these are my warriors Taz, and Zeik." Maguyser said as he pointed to Taz and Zeik who bowed respectively. "You see Dago I came here to ask you if you wanted to join with me and take out the Ronins, Kaye, and that little Guardian Katie." He said with slight anger in his voice.
"i see you don't like this...what's her name? Katie? Very much do you?" Dago asked.
"I want revenge for what she did to me." Maguyser said as he cleched his hand into a fist.
"I see, yes well she and the Ronins could become somewhat of a problem for me. I'll join with you Maguyser, I think that would be a good idea." Dago said.
"Great! Now first things first." Maguyser said.
"Yes and what would that be?" Dago asked.
"To get rid of the Ronins and Katie." Maguyser said.
"Ohh yes, that's right. How about you send your two warriors and I'll send Tae with them. We'll, use Kaye as bait to get them here. Once here, we'll destroy them." Dago said.
"Excellent idea Dago, but I want Katie alive." Maguyser replied.
"Ohh yes, that's right. We'll capture her for you then." Dago said.
"Good, yes very good." Maguyser said.
"Alright then lets not waste any time. Tae!" Dago yelled. Tae apeared before him.
"Yes master?" Tae asked.
"I want you to go with Maguyser's warriors and trick the Ronins and Katie to follow you, once they're in I want you to capture the one called Katie and dispose of the othere's." Dago said.
Tae nodded. "Got cha. Shouldn't be too hard. Alright then lets go you two." Tae said. Tae, Taz, and Zeik all three disappear to carry out their mission.
=================================================================================================
"Kento get Kaye out of here, we'll hold them off." yelled Katie. Kento turned around and saw that Kaye had that look in her eyes that he has seen before.
"Kaye don't, I know that look so just forget about it." said Kento.
"I'm sorry Kento, but I'm not going to just leave my friends behind just because some jerks want to take me to their master, forget it." replied Kaye with that determined look in her eyes. She transformed into her subarmor and got ready to fight.

"Kento since Kaye is determined to stay and fight, then stay close to her." said Cye.
"I don't think that will be a problem Cye." replied Kento with a wink. Cye just shook his head and put his focus back onto Soto, Lio, and Tae.
"What's up with these guys, why haven't they made a move yet?" thought Katie.
"Well it looks like those three won't mess this up after all, but still I think that I better give them a little push into the right direction." thought Dago as he was watching the fight between his fighters, and the others. A thick fog started to encircle them, blocking their visions.

"Truthfully Cye, I have to be strong, yea it's tearing me up but I have to believe that everything will work out, I just have to." replied Mia.

"Ohh man...why didn't we stop them?!" Kento shouted as he punched the wall leaving a giant whole where his fist was.
"Kento calm down." Cye said hoping he could calm his best friend.
"Pounding the wall isn't going to bring Kaye back Kento." Mia said from where she sat on the couch. Her speaking startled everyone.
"She's right Kento, we need a plan." Ryo said as he started to think.
Meanwhile.....
"So the little guardian thinks she's failed. Well, then why not play into this. You know I think we should go and pay this Dago guy a visit." Maguyser said as he stood up from his throne.
"Does this mean we're going on a trip, lord?" Zeik asked.
"Yea, we're going to go and meet Dago." Taz said.
"Right you are Taz, now come we must go and meet Dago." Maguyser said as he and his warriors left for Dago's.
Meanwhile.......
"Ohh man where am I?" Kaye asked as she slowly came to.
"Did you have a nice sleep DreamWalker?" Dago asked Kaye.
Kaye glared at him. "So you must be this Dago guy they were talking about."
"I'm flattered that you remembered DreamWalker." Dago said.
"Well, don't be." Kaye replied.
Dago laughed some at her statement. "I must leave you now DreamWalker. I have guests to talk to."
"Guests?" Kaye asked.
"Yes, but don't worry they're not your friends. Although I'm sure they'll be after them in due time. Bye for now." Dago said as he walked off and left Kaye alone.
Dago entered his throne room to find Maguyser and his warriors all ready there and waiting for him. "So you must be Maguyser, I've been waiting to meet you." Dago said.
"Yes, I'm Maguyser and these are my warriors Taz, and Zeik." Maguyser said as he pointed to Taz and Zeik who bowed respectively. "You see Dago I came here to ask you if you wanted to join with me and take out the Ronins, Kaye, and that little Guardian Katie." He said with slight anger in his voice.
"i see you don't like this...what's her name? Katie? Very much do you?" Dago asked.
"I want revenge for what she did to me." Maguyser said as he cleched his hand into a fist.
"I see, yes well she and the Ronins could become somewhat of a problem for me. I'll join with you Maguyser, I think that would be a good idea." Dago said.
"Great! Now first things first." Maguyser said.
"Yes and what would that be?" Dago asked.
"To get rid of the Ronins and Katie." Maguyser said.
"Ohh yes, that's right. How about you send your two warriors and I'll send Tae with them. We'll, use Kaye as bait to get them here. Once here, we'll destroy them." Dago said.
"Excellent idea Dago, but I want Katie alive." Maguyser replied.
"Ohh yes, that's right. We'll capture her for you then." Dago said.
"Good, yes very good." Maguyser said.
"Alright then lets not waste any time. Tae!" Dago yelled. Tae apeared before him.
"Yes master?" Tae asked.
"I want you to go with Maguyser's warriors and trick the Ronins and Katie to follow you, once they're in I want you to capture the one called Katie and dispose of the othere's." Dago said.
Tae nodded. "Got cha. Shouldn't be too hard. Alright then lets go you two." Tae said. Tae, Taz, and Zeik all three disappear to carry out their mission.
