english translations chapter 15

"where the heck is that?" wondered Cye as he came upon a giant body of water. As Cye walked cautiously closer to the water, he began to hear voices that were singing not too far off in the distance.

"I've never heard singing like that before, it's so beautiful. For some reason, I can't seem to stop." thought Cye as he continued to walk in that direction of where the singing was coming from.

"It looks like we've caught another one with our song." said one of the sirens.

"Yes, and he's very handsome at that. But it's too bad that he has to be destroyed, don't you agree sister?" asked the second siren.

"I agree with you sister, but it has been such a very long time since we've had any visitors here. But I do suppose we have a duty to perform." replied the third siren as she took aim towards Cye. On a nearby ledge two figures were almost to the top.

"That is definately one climb that I don't ever want to do that I don't have some kind of safety harness on." said Mia as she pulled herself up to the top of the ledge, and lightning wasn't too far behind her making sure that Mia didn't fall off of the ledge.

"What a view, we can see everything from up here. Wait a second, I think that's yea it is, it's Cye! Hey Cye where are you going?" Mia yelled from the top of the ledge.

"Mia? Mia, for some reason I can't control where I'm walking." Cye yelled back.

"Why not?" yelled Mia.

"I don't know why, you tell me." Cye yelled again.

"How the heck am I suppose to know why Cye can't control where he's walking?" thought Mia as she began to look around for an answer. Lightining caught a glimpse of something that was giving off some kind of bright reflection. It was a spear, Lightning knew that there was no way for him to get Mia's attention, so he decided to get Cye himself.

Lightning appeared right in front of Cye's path surprising the heck out of him. "Lightning what?!" asked Cye just as Lightning teleported Cye and himself out of the spear's path and reappeared next to Mia onto of the ledge.

"I can't believe that you missed!" yelled the first siren.

"I wouldn't have missed if that tiger hadn't teleported..." said the second siren.

"Wait a minute, since when do tigers teleport?" asked the third siren as they looked across to see Cye, Mia and Lightining standing on the top of the far off ledge.

"Cye are you alright? What just happened?" asked Mia.

"Yea Mia I'm fine, but I'm not sure of what just happened. It was like I had no control of my own." replied Cye as he shook out the cobwebs from his head.

"Cye, when did you feel like you first lost control?" asked Mia as she looked at him in a curious manner.

"It was just about the time when I heard singing." replied Cye.

"Singing? Cye, do you remember any legends about three women that were sining, and that lured sailors to their doom with their songs?" asked Mia.

"The only thing that I remember about that type of legend are the ones that are called sirens. But they don't exist, do they." replied Cye.

On another ledge where the sirens were arguing with each other, "I thought that you three understood what was suppose to be done?" asked Hoax as he appeared next to the three sirens.

"We almost had him Hoax, but then this tiger came along and it looked like he teleported the outsider and himself out of the way." explained the second siren.

"Enough of your excuses, it looks like we have two more to take care of along with the man." Hoax pointed out as he motioned to Cye, Mia and Lighting as they were climbing down the ledge.

"We won't fail this time Hoax." said the first siren.

"You had better not, now go and finish what you started. But if you fail this time, I'll personally make sure that you won't sing another note ever again." threatened Hoax as he disappeared. The three sirens looked at each other with worry, knowing full well that Hoax will carry out his threat.

"quid faciendum? what is to be done?" asked the third siren.

"You know what has to be done, so let's not keep our guests waiting." replied the first siren as they dove into the water.

"Cye, something about this whole place doesn't feel right. It feels like we're being watch." said Mia as she stepped away from the base of the cliff.

"I know Mia, it looks like Lightning agrees with ya as well." replied Cye as he noticed that the tiger was looking towards the water.

"What do you suppose that he's looking for, could it be the sirens?" asked Mia.

"Possibly, but whatever it is I have a feeling that we're going to have one heck of a fight on our hands." replied Cye as he kept his eyes on where Lightning was looking.

Suddenly, a huge wave came out of nowhere pushing Cye, Mia and Lightning back towards the cliff. "persona non grata!" yelled the third siren.

"unwelcome person! You dare come into our territory especially without an invitation!" yelled the first siren angrilly.

"Sorry, but I think that we lost the invitations in the mail. Now if you three would excuse us, we have to find our friends and the way out of here." replied Cye as they began to leave.

"I don't think so, no one is going anywhere, unless of course we let you pass." said the third siren coldly.

Just then the sirens began to softly sing, drawing Cye to them into the water. "Cye don't listen to them, you have to fight." yelled Mia.

"Sorry Mia, but it looks like I don't really have a choice here." replied Cye as he was walking towards the water.

"Don't interfere, you can't help him, no one can!" yelled the first siren as she had a huge wave throw Mia back into the cliff.

"Mia!" yelled Cye as he tried to fight the sirens' song.

"Ok, now that does it, I'm a little more than ticked off here. No one tries to take away my friends from me, no one! Do you hear me?!" yelled Mia as looked around for some kind of weapon.

"What can you do that will harm us outsider?" taunted the second siren.

"Are you sure that you want an answer to that?" asked Cye in a mischievous way.

"What are you talking about?" asked the first siren.

"He's talking about me doing this!" yelled Mia as she threw the spear at the sirens. The spear hit the first siren which made the hold on Cye weak enough for him to break free so he can fight.

"You, how could you!? You'll pay for that!" warned the first siren as she went to tackle Mia.

"I don't think so you sea witch!" yelled Cye as he launched a kick at the first siren's stomach. She fell to the beach and started to slowly wither away.

"NO! Sisters help me!" yelled the first siren as she finally turned to dust and was blown away. The two remaining sirens looked at each other, and then looked towards the location of where Cye, Mia and Lightning were standing ready for any attack that they were going to throw at them.

"Oh boy, I think that did it." said Mia as she glanced at Cye.

"Yea, I'm going to have to agree with you there, any ideas?" asked Cye as he kept his eyes on the two remaining sirens.

"Wait a minute, that's it Cye!" exclaimed Mia.

"What's it?" asked Cye.

"Cye, since you can control any body of water, what's stopping you from controling this one?" asked Mia.

"Yea, you're right, I see where you're going with this, ok brace yourself." replied Cye as he got ready to deliver his sure-kill.

"What do you suppose that he is trying to do?" asked the second siren.

"Who cares, right now we have to avenge our sister's death so let's go already!" yelled the third siren as she went out ahead of her sister and attacked on her own.

"Wait! She has always been the impatient one. Well I suppose that I better hurry up and help her out before she gets her tail kicked." said the second siren as she went to catch up to her sister who was way ahead of her.

"Wait for it, wait for it, and now!" thought Cye as he delivered his sure-kill towards the remaining two sirens as they got into range. His attack hit them both head on and sent them back into the water. Again Cye called out his sure-kill and made a whirlpool so the two sirens could be pulled under, never to resurface again.

"Cye, you did it!" exclaimed Mia excitedly.

"Yea I did, didn't I." replied Cye with a smile.

"What do you say to go and find the others and get the heck out of this crazy maze?" asked Mia.

"Sounds like a good idea to me, let's get going. I don't want to stick around here any longer than I have to." replied Cye as they continued their search.

"Well it looks like the sirens were no match for the outsiders. I suppose that Liber would like to put his plan into action very soon. I guess that it's time for everyone to reunite in the town square." thought Hoax as he disappeared from the ledge where he was watching the fight.

"What's going on?" asked Mia as she, Cye and Lighting began to disappear from their location in the gauntlet trials.

"It looks like everyone is here, all safe and sound. You all should be very proud of what you accomplished in the gauntlet trials." said Reyes as he looked around at each of the Ronins, Kaye, Mia, Lightning and White Blaze.

"Where are we? How did we get here?" asked Sage.

"Oh come now, all of you should be honored to even survive the trials. Actually I'm very impressed, now to the questions of where you are and how did you get here. Well you're in the town square, and how to you all got here, well I'll let him answer that for you." said Reyes as he motioned to Hoax as he walked next to Reyes.

"Hoax, you're alive, but how? Liber killed you I saw him?" asked Kaye in confusion.

"You only thought that you saw Liber killed me, as a matter of fact we are working together. Isn't that right Liber?" asked Hoax as Liber appeared next to Hoax and Reyes.

"You should have seen your expression girl, it was priceless to say the least. Now hand over the amulet." said Liber.

Kaye glared at Hoax and Liber who were standing there gloating at them. Kento quickly made it to Kaye's side getting ready to attack either one of them if they made any attempt of a move towards Kaye. "No, you don't deserve the amulet, the white book and the amulet have to be put back into their rightful places inside of the tree of life, or this whole city along with everyone inside of it will disappear forever." said Kaye as she kept her eyes on Hoax and Liber.

"So true, so true. No wonder the professor gave you the amulet and the white book. Speaking of whom, professor why don't you come out." said Liber as he drew back the curtain. Professor Manlio was escorted towards Liber and Hoax, when the professor was close enough to them, Liber took a dagger out and held it to the professor's heart.

"Now will you give me the amulet, or will you forfeit the professor's life?" asked Liber as he got ready to stab the professor.

"Stop, don't do it, don't, please don't. I'll give you the amulet." replied Kaye in a defeated tone.

"Kaye, don't, don't hand it over to them. My life is over, I accept that now. Restore the city to it's rightful glory. Don't give the amulet to them, no matter what. una salus victis nullam sperare salutem the one safety for the vanquished is to abandon hope of safety knowing there is no hope can give one the courage to fight and win!" yelled professor Manlio as he grabbed the dagger and plunged it into his heart.
