Ryo doubled over in pain. He had just been socked in the stomach by Viper.

"That'll teach you to talk that way to me!" Viper said, smirking at Ryo's pain.

"You didn't have to hit him so hard you bloody bastard!" Cye glared at Viper, shooting mental daggers from his eyes.

"I can do whatever I want! Now shut up or I'll beat the crap outta you as well."

Cye glared at Viper, but said nothing. Viper smirked and left the four to their cell. Rowen was still unconscious from Roanna's attack, the gash in his chest slowly dripping blood.

Kento looked over at his fallen friend. "Man!" He said. "What the hell happened to Rowen?"

"He was attacked my a chick who looked like Anubis." Cye narrowed his eyes. "She'll pay for what she did!"

"Don't go overboard yet, Cye." Ryo told his friend. "Remember, she's just a girl."

"So you say. Don't forget, Ryo, I was there, not you. She's a freakin' monster!"

Meanwhile, at the Dynasty lounge, the six kids were talking about their captives.

"Man, that Wildfire guy was easy to defeat! You should have see n him struggle!" Spider laughed at the thought of Ryo trying to shake off all the spiders.

"Well, that's all well an' good," Webby said. "but it was only easy for you because you have practically the fastest attack out of all of us."

"That and if I hadn't led that freakin' tiger away, he may never have been captured!"

"Fine." Roan said. "But who captured the other one?"

"What other one?" Roanna asked. "We only captured three of them."

Viper blinked. "But there are four in the dungeon."

The others looked at him like he was crazy. How could there be four, when they had only captured three?

From near the back of the lounge, Sterling propped his feet on one of the tables. "I can answer that." Everyone turned and looked at him.

"Yeah right!" Viper shot him a death glare. "How could you answer it when you came

back here before we even left?"

"Who says I came back here?"

"Wait, I'm confused." Webby gave Sterling a blank look. "What do you mean?"

Sterling put his feet on the ground and stood up. "I never went to the Dynasty when I left."

"But you did what I told you to!"

"Just because I left, doesn't mean I was following orders."

"Please continue." Spider said. "I wanna know how he was captured!"

"After I left, I teleported inside the house. Since Viper was going to be a baby and not let me join you, I decided to do things my way."

"You bastard!"

"Stop it Viper!" Roan pulled Viper back by a fistful of his shirt.

"Thank you, Roan. Anyway, I sneaked about the upstairs until I found the Ronin's room. Since he was still weak from fighting Webby, He was easy to capture."

"Way to go, Ster!" Roan cheered his friend. "Oh, that reminds me..."

"What is it, Roan?" Sterling gave his friend a concerned look.

"Well, when Webby, Roanna and I got into the house, we kinda ran into a problem."

"Oh please!" Viper rolled his eyes. "How could there have been a problem?"

"Easy. When I attacked this one person, I realized that it was Dad!"

"WHAT?! Why would your dad be at the enemy's?"

Roan shrugged. "I don't know, but if my dad's there, we think the others are as well."

Viper stood there with his mouth wide open. "Our dad's are traitors??"

--

"Man, this sucks!" Cale kicked a rock out of his way.

"Calm down Cale. Getting mad because we don't have a clue as to where Ryo is, is not going to help!"

"Well, we can't just stand around and do nothing, Anubis!"

Sage narrowed his eyes and growled. "Both of you shut up!" The two ex-warlords immediately shut up. "Now that it's quiet, maybe we can actually get something done!" He sighed. "Ok, here's what I'm thinking: If Rowen, Cye and Kento got captured by your replacements, the Ryo was probably captured, too."

"So what you're saying," Dais said. "is that in order to find the others, we have to go to the Dynasty?"

"Exactly."

Sekhmet nodded. "Then let's go to the Dynasty."

"Wait, Sekh." Sekhmet looked at Sage. "We still don't know who we're up against."

Cale threw his hands in the air. "Great, just great! Now what are we supposed to do?"

"Well, there is something that Cye wanted to tell you, but was persuaded against."

"And what would that be?"

"Simple, Anubis. Ryo told us that the person who attacked Kento was a young girl who looked like, you, Dais and that she said her name was Webby."

Dais blinked. Twice. "Webby? She's only fifteen. Why would she be attacking anybody?"

"You know her?"

"Yeah, she's my daughter."

Sage's eyes almost bugged out of his head. "Your daughter?!" Dais nodded. "Why didn't you tell us you had a daughter?"

"You didn't ask."

Sekhmet agreed. "Yeah we would have told you."

"What do you mean by 'we'?"

"Exactly what I said. We all have kids."

"What?!" Sage looked like he was about to have a heart attack. "So you're telling me that...Oh nevermind."

"You don't look too good Sage." Cale noted. "You should go lie down."

"No, no. I'm fine. Just a little shocked." He took a couple deep breaths. "Ok, I believe I know who we have to fight."

"Who?" Anubis asked.

"Your kids."

The four ex-warlords stared at Sage, disbelieving. They had to fight their kids? This was not what they expected.

"Ok," Cale said. "So we have to go through the kids to get the guys back. We should be able to do that." He frowned. "Right?"

Dais sighed. "Hopefully."

"Right then, let's go kick some Dynasty ass!" Sekhmet jumped in the air, then did some really interesting moves.

Anubis put his head in his hands. "Remind me never to let Sekhmet go to another football game again."

Everyone, except Anubis and Sekhmet, laughed. Then it was time to rescue their friends.
