Rogue Ronin's POV CHAPTER 21
================================================================================================

"Katie, I know that your still in there somewhere. You have to fight this, you can't let Maguyser do this to you." said Kaye as she blocked Katie's attack.

"I'm not letting him do anything to me, I chose this so learn to live with it, or better yet just die!" yelled Katie as she jabbed her sais towards Kaye's stomach.

"Katie stop this you know that this isn't right. We're friends Katie, friends are not suppose to fight like this." said Kaye as she jumped out of the way and landed next to Ryo.

"Kaye, are you alright?" asked Ryo as he kept his eyes on Katie.

"Yea I'm ok, man Ryo she's good, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to quit. I will get your sister back, no matter what it takes, I will get her back, I promise." replied Kaye.

"Kaye what are you planning to do?" asked Ryo as he turned his head to look at Kaye.

"Ryo, Katie and I are equally matched in skills, but there are a few moves that I have left that I haven't tried yet." said Kaye.

"Are you two going to stand there and talk all day, or are we going to continue this fight?" asked Katie as she began to get impatient.

"Man, I hope this works, because if it doesn't. No I can't think like that, I promised Ryo that I would get his sister back, and that's what I'm going to do." thought Kaye as she took off for Katie.

"Ryo, what just happened between you and Kaye just now? Ryo!" asked Rowen as he and the others ran up to where Ryo was standing.

"Kaye made a promise to get Katie back." replied Ryo as he was watching them fight.

"How Ryo, how did Kaye say that she was going to get Katie back?" asked Sage.

"All that Kaye said was that she had a few moves that she hasn't tried yet." replied Ryo.

"She's crazy! Kaye just barely got her armor and now she's trying to get your sister back. Ryo I understand that, but why didn't you stop Kaye, we've could have figured out another way." said Kento in anger.

"Kento calm down, Kaye will pull it off, besides we have them to deal with anyway." said Cye as he motioned to Zeik, Taz and Maguyser.

"Cye's right, we're going to need Inferno, so let's do this." said Ryo as he got ready to transform to his Inferno armor. The other Ronins agreed and sent their powers to Ryo who was quickly transformed into the Inferno. When the transformation was done, Ryo and Sage went for Maguyser, while Cye, Kento and Rowen went towards Zeik and Taz.

"Guys what could you possibly be thinking? I should have known that they were going to do that. I should have had Lightning teleport them out of here." thought Kaye as she dodged Katie's attacks.

"It looks like your friends abandoned you Kaye, so what are you going to do now?" asked Katie as she got ready to deliver her sure-kill.

"They haven't abandoned me Katie, they're taking care of some unsettled business." replied Kaye as she braced herself for another attack.

"Think what you want, but know this Kaye here will be your resting place, so prepare to say good bye. Silent wings of Death!" yelled Katie as she delivered her sure-kill. Katie's attack made a direct hit, causing Kaye to fly back a few feet and land on the ground.

"Man, that hurt! Ok now that's it I've had it, this had better work or I'm good as gone." thought Kaye as she began to get up.

"Kaye, this isn't the time to doubt yourself, you have the ability to pull it off so just do it already." said Silver Tiger.

"You don't exactly have the greatest timing in the world, you know that." replied Kaye in annoyance.

"Well if you don't get a move on, you won't get another chance at this, if you know what I mean." said Silver Tiger.

"Ok, ok already stop harping I hear you. Are you sure that this will work?" asked Kaye.

"It'll work, trust me you just have to trust yourself." replied Silver Tiger.

"Ok here goes nothing." thought Kaye as she got ready to make her move. Katie was getting closer to where Kaye was standing and then when Katie thought that she was close enough she stopped.

"What's this, does Kaye of the Tiger actually admit defeat?" taunted Katie.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't give up that easily. Especially when it comes to the people that I care about. There's somethig that I should tell you, before we continue this." said Kaye.

"Oh really and what is that?" asked Katie with curiosity.

"Get ready to strap yourself in, because you're about to go on one heck of a ride! Tiger's Rage!" yelled Kaye as she delivered her sure-kill. Katie barely saw that one coming as she jumped out of the way.

"Where did that come from?" thought Katie as she began to land.

"Ok now that she's distracted." thought Kaye as she launched a different attack.

"Hey you almost got me with that one, impressive, but do you think that you can do it again?" asked Katie.

"Actually I have something else in mind. Dragon's song!" yelled Kaye as she delivered a different attack.

"You call that an attack, I didn't feel anything. What's happening, what did you do to me?" asked Katie as she grabbed her head and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Ok now the real test, Ryo, Sage you two better appreciate this." thought Kaye as she entered into Katie's dream realm.

"Where am I, what's going on?" asked Katie.

"Katie, over here." replied Kaye as she motioned Katie over to her.

"Kaye, you got your armor back that's great, so now would you mind telling me what's going on and where are we?" asked Katie.

"Well your dark side took you over again. It attacked Ryo, he didn't get hurt. Right now he and Sage are fighting Maguyser and Cye, Kento and Rowen are fighting Zeik and Taz. As to the question of where you are, well we're in your dream realm." explained Kaye.

"How did we get here?" asked Katie.

"After I did my Dragon's song, don't ask I'll explain it later. I had to dream walk in order to finally get to you. Now your dark side has gone back into the void where it belongs. It's up to you to go and finish what you started. The fight between you and Maguyser, he needs to be stopped. I know that you can do it Katie, you're a stronger person now then you were before. It looks like my time here is over, now go kick some major butt." said Kaye as she disappeared.

"Oh man does my head hurt. Kaye, are you alright, Kaye?" asked Katie as she went over to her.

"Katie, you're back, I'm glad that it worked. I wasn't sure if it would. Do you remember what I said in the dream realm?" asked Kaye weakly.

"Yea I remember, but I can't just leave you here." replied Katie as she tried to get Kaye to stand up.

"I'll be alright Katie, go help the guys they need you. Now go." said Kaye as she passed out from using too much of her new ability.

"Kaye, thank you for getting me back, I promise that Maguyser will pay for this, you can count on that." said Katie as she let Kaye rest. Katie looked at Kaye and smiled, then she headed towards the battle between the Ronins, Maguyser and his two fighters.

"Hey guys it looks like you could use some backup right about now." said Katie as she joined them.

"Katie, you're back, you're really back." said Rowen.

"Yea, I'm back and ready to give some major payback." replied Katie ready to fight.

"Katie where's Kaye, is she...?" asked Kento.

"For right at the moment Kaye is fine, she's just passed out from the new attack that she did. She said that she'll explain it later. NOw what do you say that we teach these guys a lesson." said Katie as she looked towards the fight between Maguyser, Ryo and Sage.

"No this can't be, I lost my best warrior again!" yelled Maguyser as he saw Katie and the others coming towards them.

"Too bad Maguyser, it looks like that you don't have any way out. So you had better just give it up and surrendor." warned Ryo.

"No I can't believe that this is happening, everything that we've worked for is gone, and it's all because of all that DreamWalker's interferrence!" yelled Maguyser as he launched an attack in Kaye's direction.

"Kaye, watch out!" yelled Cye as he tried to get Kaye to wake up. Kaye was just barely waking up when Cye was warning her.

"What! Oh shit, move girl move!" thought Kaye as she frantically began to get out of the way.

The attack was just about to hit when Lightning came and teleported Kaye out of it's path. 'Lightning, oh man it's good to see you old friend.' said Kaye.

'I'm just glad that I could get you out of there in time, are you alright?' asked Lightning.

'Yea, besides the fact that I'm really ticked off right now. What do ya say about backing the others up?' asked Kaye as she began to run towards the others.

'SOunds good to me, I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines.' replied Lightning as he was running with her. It didn't take long for Kaye and Lightning to meet up with the Ronins and Katie.

"Kaye are you alright, when we saw the attack..?" asked Kento as he met up with her.

"Yea Kento I'm fine, just ticked. If Lightning didn't come when he did, I would have been in a major world of hurt. So what do you say that we deal out some major damage to Maguyser and this place. Besides I'm so ready to get back home." replied Kaye as she placed her hands on Lightning.

"Sounds good to me, what do the rest of you guys say?" asked Kento as he looked towards the others.

=================================================================================================
Kitty's POV
=================================================================================================

"Sounds good to me, let's kick his sorry butt." Ryo said as he smirked at Maguyser and his little friends.

Her eyes were like ice as she glared at Maguyser, "No." She said to them. Everyone looked at her like she had spoken some kind of foreign language.

"Katie what do you mean, no?" asked Sage as he looked at her curiously.

"Just like I said Sage, no. This is my fight, and my fight alone." replied Katie sternly.

"Katie, you are out of your mind. Fighting Maguyser alone, you need us to back you up. We're a team Katie." said Ryo.

"Look who's talking." whispered Rowen. Ryo heard him and glared at him.

"Watch it Rowen." Ryo threatened.

"Enough! He's my enemy and I'm gonna fight him!" She said before she took off running at him.

"Katie! Dammit Ryo she's as stubborn as you!" Sage shouted at him.

"Ohh, geez I wonder why Sage?" Ryo said sarcastically.

"Stop it you guys! Katie needs help and we're just going to sit here and argue?" Kaye asked sounding annoyed. Everyone looked down and didn't say anything. Kaye looked around at them, her anger subsiding.

"What can we do? You saw how she looked." Cye asked.

"I don't know." Kaye said quietly.

meanwhile....

Katie was fighting Maguyser and getting her butt kicked. He was still strong even though Kaye had her armor back. He was draining power from Zeik and Taz to keep his strength. Every move she made he matched and returned with an even stronger attack. Katie was weak from everything that had happened and knew she needed help.

"No I don't need help. I can take him down." She thought as she attacked Maguyser.

Maguyser laughed as he blocked her attack, "Give it up little guardian, you've lost! Admit it!"

"No I haven't lost!" She shouted at him as she blocked an attack from him. "I can beat you Maguyser and that's what I'm going to do!"

"Foolish girl you cannot defeat me! Now you shall die!" He shouted as he launched a blast that would have killed her. Katie shielded her face and got ready to take the hit. When it didn't come she opened her eyes. Standing in front of her were Kaye, Ryo and Sage.

"I don't think so pal. No one's gonna hurt my lil sis you got that?" Ryo said as he stood in front of her.

"I don't let people hurt my friends." Kaye said sounding angry.

"Same goes for me. Your not laying one finger on her." Sage said as he glared at Maguyser.

"Huh? You guys?" Katie asked sounding confused.

"Hey Katie whata ya say we take this guy down?" Kaye asked as she looked back at her.

Katie smiled and nodded, "I'd say lets kick some demon butt!"
