"If you want it to know so badly, you know where to find me, I'll be waiting." replied Phoenix as she disappeared laughing.
"Man, I don't believe this, I thought since we saved each other's lives during the fight with Kesi that she would be gone. We would be even, why is she playing these mind games on me?" said Kaye angrily.
"Kaye it's alright, everything will work out. We'll get her and we'll also find out what your visions mean, trust me." said Cye.
"Thanks Cye, you're right of course. Well let's get going, we have a long way to go." replied Kaye.
"Kaye, you said we right, we as in all of us?" asked Kento.
"Yea Kento I said we, I have a feeling that this is going to be one heck of a ride. So if we are going to find Phoenix then we better get going." replied Kaye.
"Kaye how are we going to find Phoenix, we can't exactly look her up in the phone book?" asked Kento.
'Lightning, hey Lightning I need your help old friend.' said Kaye. Lightning heard Kaye's call and teleported himself and White Blaze to their location.
'Thanks for coming Lightning, we need to find Phoenix, can you get a trace on her?' asked Kaye. Lightning nodded and began to find Phoenix's energy trail, it didn't take long for him to find it.
'Kaye I have a lock on Phoenix, if we don't go now there may be a chance that I'll lose it.' replied Lightning.
"Ok everyone, Lighting told me that he has a lock on Phoenix's energy trail." said Kaye.
"Well then let's go already." replied Kento. Kaye smiled at Kento and then turned back to Lightning.
'Ok my friend it's your show now.' said Kaye. Lightning once again nodded to show that he understood, Lightning still barely had a fix on Phoenix's energy trail, so then he transported everyone to Phoenix's location.
"I can't let them find us that easily, this looks like a good place to lose them." thought Phoenix. A ball of Phoenix's energy was placed in a nearby location to where she was hovering.
"That should throw them off, that way we'll have enough time to make our next strategy." thought Phoenix.
"Phoenix, what took you so long to get back here? Did you bring the key that could free me from this place?" asked the voice.
"I ran into some intereference while I was there. Your key to your freedom shall be here soon enough." replied Phoenix.
"It looks like that they have made it here with no problems. What do you say that we have some fun with them?" asked the voice.
"That sounds like a good idea, what do you have in mind?" asked Phoenix.
"Just sit back and enjoy the show Phoenix, I'm sure that you'll get great satisfaction from it." replied the voice.
It didn't take long for Lightning to teleport everyone to where Phoenix placed an energy ball. 'Lightning, are you sure that this is where Phoenix's energy trail leads?' asked Kaye.
'I'm positive Kaye, but there is something wrong, I can only sense her energy trail that she left here. I can't pick up her new one, it's like she just up and disappeared.' replied Lightning.
"Kaye what's the deal, can Lightning pick up Phoenix's trail or what?" asked Ryo.
"No he can't, Lightning says that it's like she up and disappeared just like that." answered Kaye.
"Well where do we go from here? We don't know this area at all, Kaye does this place look familiar to you?" asked Sage.
"I'm sorry Sage, but this place doesn't look familiar to me at all. But the really weird thing is that this place feels familiar, maybe it has to do with my dreams somehow." replied Kaye slightly confused.
"Kaye don't worry about it, I'm sure that it'll come to ya. In the meantime, I think that we better figure out where to go from here." said Rowen.
"Well since Lightning is a little weak from the teleporting, I think that we should rest before we go anywhere, then maybe we can figure out where to go and what is our next move." replied Mia.
"Sounds like a good idea Mia, it looks like Lightning..." Kaye started to say.
"Kaye what's wrong, hey Kaye why won't you answer. Guys something's wrong, Kaye isn't responding to me." said Mia. The Ronins ran to where Kaye and Mia were, Kaye was in a type of a trance, she couldn't move even if she wanted to.
"Mia what happened?" asked Ryo.
"I'm not sure Ryo, one minute we were talking, and the next Kaye just froze there." replied Mia.
"Does it strike any of you, that the state Kaye is in right now was the same one when we all were in the dream realm?" wondered Rowen.
"Rowen what the heck are you talking about? Kaye isn't moving at all, and the only thing that you are doing is remembering what happened to her in the dream realm instead of right now!" replied Kento angrily.
"Kento calm down, Rowen is just as concerned as the rest of us." said Sage while holding Kento back.
"It's alright Sage, the main thing to do now is to figure out how to get Kaye back to normal." replied Rowen.
"What's going on, where am I? I can't be dreaming, one moment I was talking with Mia, and the next thing I know I'm here in this strange place with some kind of fog surrounding me. Hey that's the same gateway that I've been seeing in my dreams too." thought Kaye as she looked around.
"Hello Kaye, I'm glad that you have come to pay me a visit. It's been a long time since I've had any visitors." said the voice.
"Who are you, what's going on here, how do you know about me?" asked Kaye.
"Well I guess that introductions are in order. Yes I do know you, and I know about the visions that you've been having. I'm known only as the Gatekeepker, I'm the guardian of the Ancient Gate." explained Gatekeeper.
"That's all well and good, but you still didn't explain what this has to do with me." replied Kaye.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what your role is just yet." said Gatekeeper.
"Then why keep me in suspense? I also have a feeling that you know where Phoenix is, don't you?" reasoned Kaye.
"You are correct, but our time is short, so I will leave you now. But we will meet again, so long for now." said Gatekeeper as he vanished from Kaye's sight.
"Hey come back here you jerk!" Kaye yelled. She began to slowly get her mobility back.
"Guys it's Kaye, she's coming to. Hey there Kaye, you gave us quiet a scare are you alright?" asked Mia.
"I will be just as soon as Kento lets me down. Come on Kento I'm having a little of a hard time breathing right now." answered Kaye.
"Sorry about that Kaye." replied Kento as he put Kaye down.
"Alright Kaye maybe now you can tell us what happened just now." said Cye.
"It was so weird, one minute I was talking with Mia and then the next thing I know I'm surrounded by some kind of fog, as well as the Ancient Gate that I've been seeing in my visions. Then I heard someone talking to me, he knew who I was. He knew why I've been having these visions, he knows about Phoenix." replied Kaye quietly.
"Kaye, did he happen to tell you his name, or why you've been having these visions?" asked Sage.
"He introduced himself as Gatekeeper the guardian of the Ancient Gate. Yes it's the same one that has been occuring in my visions. No, he didn't tell me anything else about my visions or about Phoenix." answered Kaye.
"Kaye I have an idea that might help out with the situation, but you're not going to like it." said Sage.
"What's your idea Sage, wait a minute you're not thinking about dream walking yourself are you?" asked Kaye.
"Yes I am Kaye, it's the only way to figure out what your visions mean. Anyway I'm the best one suited to pull it off, I mean besides you of course." replied Sage.
"Sage that is absolutely the craziest plan that I have ever heard. No way am I going to let you put yourself through that kind of danger." said Kaye with a hint of anger.
"I'm sorry Kaye, but I don't see any other alternative here, unless you or anyone else has a better plan, then I suggest that we go with mine." argued Sage.
"Kaye you know that Sage is right on this. Remember we've all done it, but Sage was the one that has the closest ability to do this out of us here." said Cye.
"Alright, fine then I'll let Sage do it, but only on one condition." stated Kaye.
"What's the condition?" asked Sage.
"That you don't let your guard down for one second. I'm not sure of what would happen to you if you interfere with the dream cycle once it's in play." said Kaye.
"It's a deal Kaye, no matter what happens I'll stay out of it, I promise. I'm ready to begin when you are." replied Sage.
"Fine then, I'm holding you to your promise Sage, now let us begin with the dream walk." said Kaye as she and Sage got ready to enter Kaye's dream realm.
In Kaye's dream, Sage looked around his surroundings. At first he could only see a thick fog, but then a bright golden light got his attention, his eyes finally adjusted to the light that was giving off. He couldn't see Kaye anywhere, so Sage decided to go and search for her. "What the heck was that? Whatever it was, I better hurry up and find Kaye." thought Sage as he ran towards the golden light.
"I can feel the key close by, come to me key to my eternal prison, come to me." taunted a voice. The voice kept on chanting the same statement over and over again. Sage kept on walking towards the voice, but as soon as he thought that he was close to the source it stopped.
"Who are you, what key are you talking about? Answer me!" shouted Sage. The voice started the statement again, but this time it was in a different direction. So Sage started out to the new source, but just as he was walking, a ball of light was coming at him. It was coming in really fast, he just avoided being hit, Sage was about to see where the attack came from until another one was coming at him faster than the first one. Sage did the only thing that was possible, he braced himself for the compact but it never came. Sage found himself out of Kaye's dream and back with his friends.
"Man, I don't believe this, I thought since we saved each other's lives during the fight with Kesi that she would be gone. We would be even, why is she playing these mind games on me?" said Kaye angrily.
"Kaye it's alright, everything will work out. We'll get her and we'll also find out what your visions mean, trust me." said Cye.
