"How much longer will it take for them to find the way out of that room? Maybe I didn't make the exit as obvious as I thought. What's this that I sense? Some kind of power level I've never felt before. It can't be coming from any of the Ronins, then is it coming from the girl?" wondered Maji as he was watching the room.
"Rowen are you crazy? Why would you have Kaye take such a risk? Didn't you hear what Kaye said about how she wasn't sure on how her ability would work in here?" asked Kento in annoyance.
"Kento calm down. I'll be alright don't worry, as soon as I'm out of this room I'll find a way to get the rest of you out as well." replied Kaye as she began to get into her trance.
"Well here goes nothing." thought Kaye as she was now glowing silver. As Kaye was getting closer to the door, the silver glow became so bright that the guys had to cover their eyes so they wouldn't be blinded. When the light was gone, they opened their eyes and they noticed that Kaye wasn't anywhere to be found.
"Do you think that it worked?" asked Cye as he looked around at the others.
"I hope so Cye, I hope so." replied Kento quietly.
Just outside of the room, "Whoa, it worked, it actually worked! Yes! Ok, ok calm down Kaye, now you have to figure out how to get the guys out. There has to be a door around here somewhere, I mean that it couldn't of just disappeared. Then again I wouldn't be surprised of anything that deals with this place." thought Kaye as she was looking for the door.
"She actually got out, I'm impressed." said Maji as he noticed what Kaye was doing.
"You shouldn't be, she is a ronin after all. Besides, weren't you the one that said something about making their exit obvious?" replied the Tiger armor.
"Who gave you the authority to read my mind, let alone the fact that you didn't tell me that you have that particular ability." said Maji as he kept his eyes on Kaye.
"You never asked." replied the Tiger armor.
"Well it doesn't matter now, what do you say that we give her a hand?" asked Maji as he began to glow red.
"Do whatever you like, you have so far." replied the Tiger armor as it disappeared.
"Come on, come on, where's the stupid door already?" thought Kaye in frustration. Just as she was about to punch on the wall, she noticed that there was a red glow not too far from where she was standing. Kaye began to slowly, and cautiously walk towards the red glow.
"Yes that's it, keep going. Just a little further, you're almost there." thought Maji as his own red glow began to become brighter.
"Is this the door? It has to be, I mean it has the same red glow as the exit that was on the inside. Well I don't exactly have much time to debate on this, there's only one way to find out. Now how do I get it open?" thought Kaye as she began to look around for something to help her to open the door.
After a quick look around, Kaye found nothing. So she did the only thing that she could think of, she backed up a few feet and charged at the door.
WHAM! "What the heck was that?" asked Rowen as he and the others quickly turned around to see what could have possibly made that sound.
WHAM! "Hey, check this out. It looks like there's a small crack here." said Sage as motioned the guys over.
"You guys know what this means?" asked Kento with his eyes glowing with excitement.
"Yea, it means that it worked, and that Kaye is trying to break down the door." replied Ryo with a smirk.
WHAM! "Oh man, this is one tough door. I can't give up, the guys are counting on me. Come on Kaye one more time." thought Kaye as he kanji of determination flared.
Kaye backed up and gave one more charge towards the door, and then a final WHAM! Kaye flew through the door and landed on the floor. "Kaye are you alright? That was one heck of an entrance that you've made, what you couldn't find a key?" asked Rowen with a smirk.
"Ha, ha Rowen very funny. Yea I'll be alright, just a little sore that's all. I think that next time though, I'll let Kento break the doors down instead of me." replied Kaye as she was getting up.
"Unless you guys want to stay here, I would suggest that we find Maji, get our orbs back and try to figure out how to get back home." said Cye as he was checking to see if the coast was clear.
"No arguments here Cye, so let's get going already." replied Sage as he and the others got out of the room.
"Ok were out, now which way do we go? Kaye, you've been here before, any ideas?" asked Ryo.
"Sorry Ryo, but the last time that I was here, I didn't exactly plan on taking a tour." replied Kaye sarcastically.
"Bravo, bravo, I'm impressed with how you got out of that room. Not many people from before would thought of what you just did. But I'm surprised that it took you so long to get out of there in the first place." said Maji as he approached them while clapping.
"Maji, give us back our orbs, and while you're at it show us the way out so we can go home." said Ryo as he glared at him.
"I would love to give back your orbs, and send you home, but you see it doesn't work that way. You still have to pass the test to see if you are worthy of even having your armors." replied Maji coldly.
"Hey pal, we don't have to prove anything to you, or anyone else for that matter. For the last time, hand them over, and then we'll find our own way out." said Rowen.
"It never ceases to amaze me, ever since the test was created, it seems like the wearers of the armors still want to do things the hard way. Well who am I to argue? If a fight is what they want, then a fight they will get. Armors come to me!" ordered Maji as he called each of the armors to stand in front of each respected wearer.
"No way, he has to be putting us on, right?" asked Kento as he was staring at his armor of Hardrock.
"It looks like he means it, oh great just great, and how do you propose that we fight against our own armors? They have the sure-kills and we don't. If we're not careful, then I'm not sure if we can survive." replied Kaye as she got into defensive position.
"I have an idea, but it's a long shot." said Sage as they made a circle with their backs to each other.
"Sage, would you stop keeping us in suspense and tell us already. We're running out of time." replied Cye as he kept his eyes on his armor of Torrent.
"Ok, we each know the strengths and weaknesses of our armors right?" said Sage as he kept his eyes on his armor of Halo.
"Yea, so? Get to the point already." replied Kento as he was getting a little annoyed.
"So. We use each of the armors' weaknesses to our advantage. Now do you see where I'm going with this?" asked Sage as he got into a defensive position.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's stop talking and start fighting." replied Ryo as he got ready to attack.
"That's an interesting theory, I'm rather curious to see if that will actually work or not. Armors, attack." said Maji coldly as he watched the fight between the armors, Kaye and the ronins begin.
Meanwhile back at the Koji mansion, "Where is it? I know that the information is here somewhere. Come on already." thought Mia as she was looking through her grandfather's disks. Twenty more minutes passed by and Mia still hasn't found anything that dealt with the nexus.
"I don't believe this, all of the information that my grandfather has collected about the Dynasty, and anything else that would be related to it is coming up empty. This is hopeless, how am I suppose to find a way for them to get out of there if I don't have any of the information?" thought Mia in frustration as she pushed back from her desk and began to pace the room.
'Mia.' a voice called out.
'Who's there? Lightning is that you?' asked Mia in confusion.
'Yes it's me.' replied Lightning.
'Where are you? Do you know what's happening with Kaye and the guys? Are they alright?' asked Mia in concern.
'Mia listen to me, there's not much time. I can't explain where I am, but I can tell you that they are alright so far, but that might change if you don't work fast.' replied Lightning.
'What do you mean? What's happening in the nexus?' asked Mia.
'It looks like they are fighting their armors, and the armors are winning.' replied Lightning.
'No, it can't be happening! Lightning can't you do something?' asked Mia in alarm.
'I'm sorry Mia, but I'm prohibited by the rules from interferring. There's nothing that I can do.' replied Lightning sadly.
'No, I won't believe that, there has to be something that can be done to help them, there has to be.' said Mia in disbelief.
"Rowen are you crazy? Why would you have Kaye take such a risk? Didn't you hear what Kaye said about how she wasn't sure on how her ability would work in here?" asked Kento in annoyance.
