"Kento are you sure that it was your armor that you saw attacking Kaye?" asked Rowen in confusion.
"Unless you know someone else that says Iron Rock Crusher, then yea it was my armor." replied Kento as he stayed with Kaye.
"That's impossible, there's no way that Kento's armor could do that on its own. Can it?" asked Ryo.
"It could be possible, just like when Talpa and the Nether Spirits took control over your armors, Maji somehow took control over the armor of Hardrock." explained Mia.
"Then it's my fault. I'm the one that hurt Kaye, I'm the one that helped Maji get her orb." whispered Kento in anger.
"Kento you're talking crazy, this isn't your fault. You have to believe that." said Cye as he tried to comfort him.
"He's right Kento." whispered Kaye as she began to slowly wake up.
"Kaye, you're awake! I'm so sorry Kaye, it's my fault that Maji got your orb." replied Kento.
"No Kento it's not your fault. I shouldn't have ran off like I did, so it was my fault for going out alone, not yours. I should of had someone with me." whispered Kaye.
"The only one to blame here is Maji. We know that he won't stop until he has all of our kanji orbs." said Sage.
"Sage is right you guys, but what does he plan to do with them once he has all of the orbs? How does he plan to use them with the test?" asked Rowen.
"Well there is one way to find out." said Ryo.
"Oh really, and how do ya plan to do that Ryo, go up and just ask him?" asked Kento in anger.
"Actually Kento, yea that's exactly what we're going to do." replied Ryo with a smirk.
"No Ryo, you can't do that, he'll take your orbs too." said Kaye as she tried to get up.
"Kaye, lay back down! You're still injured, so don't even try to get up. You need your rest." said Kento as he stopped her from sitting up.
"You know what, I think that I've heard someone say something close to those same words not too long ago." said Mia with a smirk.
"Very funny Mia." replied Kaye as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"I think that we better let Kaye get her rest." said Rowen.
"I don't think that you'll get an argument from anyone here Rowen." replied Sage as everyone else nodded in agreement. So Mia and the guys left Kaye's room, leaving Kento to watch over her.
"Kento, I thought that you would be going with them?" asked Kaye.
"Actually I thought that I would stay here with you. To make sure that you'll be ok. Besides, turn about is fair play, right." replied Kento with a grin.
"Yea I guess that you're right." replied Kaye with a tired grin as she finally fell asleep.
"I swear Kaye, with or without my armor I'll make Maji pay for what he has done. I promise." whispered Kento as he watched over Kaye as she slept.
In the livingroom the Ronins and Mia are having a discussion on what to do next. "Alright guys, any ideas?" asked Mia as she looked at them.
"This guy is going to be a lot harder to take down than I originally thought. Since he's already got Kento's and Kaye's orbs, it'll be only a matter of time before Maji gets ours as well." said Rowen.
"So what are you saying Rowen? Are you saying that we should just hand over our orbs without some kind of fight?" asked Ryo in disbelief.
"No Ryo that's not what I'm saying at all." replied Rowen as he looked at him.
"Then Rowen what are you saying?" asked Sage.
"I'm just saying that we need to figure out a different kind of strategy to fight this guy." explained Rowen.
"Well then what do you propose that we do?" asked Cye.
"Maybe we should go with what Ryo said earlier." said Rowen.
"What! You mean about just going up to Maji, and asking him how he intends to use them for this so called test? Ok Rowen, I think that you and Ryo both got some screws loose." replied Cye in disbelief.
"Whoa wait a minute Cye, you're not hearing me out on this." said Rowen as he tries to get control of the conversation.
"Ok then, convince me that this plan that you two have just came up with will work." replied Cye skeptically.
"It's like what Maji said, he's collecting the orbs only one at a time right. Well what if we..." said Rowen as he began to explain his plan. Just as Rowen was about to continue, Maji appeared in the backyard.
"Ronin warriors come out and hand over your kanji orbs. As you know, I already have two of them, if you come out now I'll be merciful." yelled Maji as he stood outside waiting for them.
"Hey what's going on down there?" asked Kento as he ran out of Kaye's room.
"It's Maji, he's here." replied Cye as he looked up towards Kento.
"What! Alright let me at him!" said Kento angrily as he ran downstairs.
"Kento no! Someone has to stay here and watch over Kaye and Mia. Besides you don't have your armor any more remember." said Sage as he got in front of Kento to prevent him from fighting Maji.
"Sage I don't care, armor or no armor. I'm going to make this jerk pay for what he did!" said Kento angrily.
"I'm growing impatient Ronin warriors, either you come out here, or I'm coming in. What's it going to be?" asked Maji as he began to get angry.
"Guys you don't have time to argue about this. So what's the decision?" asked Mia sternly.
"Guys, you know that he's going to go out there and fight Maji anyway. Besides you're going to need all the help you can get." said Kaye as she was trying to support herself on the railing.
"Kaye, you shouldn't be up. You are suppose to be in bed getting your strength back." replied Rowen as he and the others watched her come downstairs to join them.
"Yea well, Kento's not suppose to go out and fight Maji either, but he's going to anyway if ya want him to or not." said Kaye as she looked at them.
"Fine then, Kento at least you still have your sub-armor, so that should give you some kind of protection. But still watch your back while you're out there." replied Rowen.
"I'll be fine guys, I'm not the one he's after any more in case you've forgotten." said Kento.
"This is my final warning Ronin warriors, come out now!" yelled Maji.
"Then what about Kaye and Mia, they won't be protected?" asked Rowen in concern.
"We'll be fine Rowen, White Blaze can stay with us." replied Mia.
"Ok now that's settled, let's get this guy!" said Kento as he called upon his sub-armor.
"Guys be careful." said Kaye as she, Mia and White Blaze watch them take off to fight Maji.
"It's about time that you showed up, I was beginning to wonder if you were going to put in an appearance. Now I can collect the remaining kanji orbs, and then the second phase of the test shall begin." said Maji as he got ready for the fight.
"We're not going to give them up without a fight Maji!" warned Cye angrily.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. Now armor of the Tiger, armor of Hardrock come forth!" commanded Maji as he threw the two kanji orbs into the air. The orbs transformed into the two armors and landed on either side of Maji standing ready to fight.
"What! No way that can't be possible, he can't have complete control over the armors already?" said Sage in disbelief.
"What's the matter Ronins? Is the fact that you'll be soon fighting the Tiger armor and the armor of Hardrock too much for you to handle?" taunted Maji with an evil grin.
"Man, this definately doesn't look good." thought Ryo as he kept his eyes on Maji and the two armors that stood ready to fight.
"Well what are you waiting for, an invitation?" asked the armor of Hardrock.
"Come now, hand over your orbs. Don't make this more difficult that it has to be." said the Tiger armor.
"Kento, stay close to the mansion, we'll take on Maji and the two armors." said Ryo as he glanced back at Kento seeing that he was more than ready to kick some major butt.
"Ryo, are you crazy? There's no way that I'm just going to stand back and let you guys have all of the fun. Besides, I made a vow that I would make Maji pay for what he has done." replied Kento as he was getting angry.
"No Kento, Ryo's right. You have to make sure that Maji and the armors don't get into the mansion. You're our ace in the whole." replied Cye as he was trying to convince him to stand down from the fight.
"Aaah! Fine! I'll stand down, but don't think that I'm just going to stand by for very long." said Kento in annoyance.
"Hopefully they don't get into the mansion, otherwise Kaye and Mia will be in major trouble." replied Rowen as he and the others got ready to confront Maji and the two armors.
"Well come on, come on I don't have all night. Do you plan to fight or what?" asked Maji in annoyance.
"You want an answer, well I'll be more than happy to give it to you. Flare up now!" yelled Ryo as he began the attack on Maji and the two armors. Maji saw the attack coming straight at him, and put up some kind of barrier while the two armors jumped out of the way.
"No way! This is going to be tougher than we thought guys. I think that we better split up if we're going to stand a chance of getting those orbs back." said Sage as he and the others watched them.
"That's it, yes split up that way it'll be easier to collect your orbs from you." thought Maji with an evil grin.
"You two know what to do." said Maji. The two armors nodded showing that they understood as they got ready to fight, and with a blink of an eye the fight began. Cye was fighting against the armor of Hardrock, Rowen was against the Tiger armor, while Sage and Ryo went to face off with Maji.
"Man, this feels totally weird." said Cye as he blocked the attack from the armor of Hardrock.
"I know what you mean Cye, but we have to do it this way or Kento and Kaye won't get their orbs back." replied Rowen as he blocked an attack from the Tiger armor.
"Well, it looks like your friends are having difficulties with fighting the two armors. What makes the two of you think that you even have a chance against me?" taunted Maji as he began to glow red.
"Hey, don't count us out yet. You only have those two armors because you took them by surprise that's all." replied Sage as he attacked Maji.
"Yea and we're not going to let you take our orbs either. So hand over the orbs that you stole, and maybe just maybe we'll go easy on you." said Ryo as he attacked Maji.
"That's rich, me give back the orbs. You are all fools to believe that I would do such a thing. Besides what makes you think that I don't have you right where I want you." taunted Maji as he laughed evilly.
"What are you talking about?" asked Sage angrily.
"You'll see. Armor of Hardrock, Tiger armor are you ready?" asked Maji as he continued to glow red. The two armors nodded and jumped into position. The guys stepped back in surprise, while keeping their eyes on the them to see what they were going to do next.
Inside the mansion, "No, he can't! Mia we have to stop him!" said Kaye as she realized what Maji had planned.
"Kaye what are you talking about?" asked Mia.
"Maji's going to collect the rest of the kanji orbs, and he's going to use my and Kento's armor to help him." replied Kaye as she ran out the door.
"Kento!" yelled Kaye as she was running towards him.
"Kaye what are you doing out here? Don't you know how dangerous it is? Now get back inside!" said Kento as he turned around to face her.
"There's no time Kento, Maji's going to get the rest of the orbs. We have to stop him!" said Kaye in alarm.
"Mia, what's Kaye talking about? How does he plan to get the orbs?" asked Kento in confusion.
"Look how Maji has everyone set up of where he wants them to be. The guys on the inside while Maji, your armor and Kaye's armor are surrounding them. It looks like he's going to some how get what he came for after all." replied Mia in alarm.
"What! Guys get out of there!" yelled Kento as he turned around and tried to warn them.
"Kento, what are you talking about?" asked Cye as he glanced over at him.
"He's talking about the trap that we have snared you into. Now your orbs will be mine, and soon the second phase of the test will begin." replied Maji as he shot a red energy wave up into the sky. The other two armors followed his lead, then the three red energy waves met and came down upon the four Ronins hittiing them dead on. The guys began to yell from the intense pain of the attack. Then, four black energy balls started forming around them and entrapped each one inside.
"No! Stop it, no more!" yelled Kaye as she, Kento and Mia watched in horror as the remaining orbs were floating towards Maji's opened hand. As soon as Maji closed his hands with the orbs now in his possession, he finally made the black energy balls disappear, leaving the others laying on the ground in their sub-armors.
"Now all of the orbs are in my possession, to show that I'm not a total barbarian, I'll give you a few days to recover before the second phase of the test begins. This shall provide to be most amusing, now we'll see if you and your friends are worthy of the armors." said Maji as he and now all of the armors disappeared.
"Unless you know someone else that says Iron Rock Crusher, then yea it was my armor." replied Kento as he stayed with Kaye.
"That's impossible, there's no way that Kento's armor could do that on its own. Can it?" asked Ryo.
"It could be possible, just like when Talpa and the Nether Spirits took control over your armors, Maji somehow took control over the armor of Hardrock." explained Mia.
