"None of this is making any sense. Is Maji on our side, or is he just someone else that is trying to get our armors?" thought Sage as he was trying to figure Maji out.
"Hey Sage, earth to Sage, are ya in there?" asked Rowen as he was trying to get his attention.
"Huh, sorry Rowen, did you say something?" asked Sage as he looked over at him.
"Yea, we were wondering what has you so preoccupied." replied Rowen. Sage looked around at them before answering.
"I was trying to figure Maji's angle in all of this." said Sage.
"What's to figure out? I mean this guy has it out for us, and you're wondering who's side he's on?" asked Kento in disbelief.
"I don't think it's that simple Kento." replied Sage as he was trying to keep his cool.
"It's not that simple! Come on Sage, wake up and smell the coffee! Maji definately wants us to fail in this stupid test that he has us doing. Why can't you see that?" asked Kento as he began to get angry.
"Kento, why don't you start using your head for once, instead of always rushing into things! Come on, think about it! Why would Maji have us test us against our own armor?" replied Sage as he glared at him.
"How am I suppose to know, besides blonde, you're asking for it!" threatened Kento angrily.
"Oh really Kento, that's your answer to everything isn't it?" taunted Sage coldly.
"What is that suppose to mean?" asked Kento as he became even more angry.
"It means that you're not happy unless you're in a fight. So come on and let's do this, if you're so eager." taunted Sage as he kept his eyes on him.
"Kento, Sage, both of you stop it! Don't you see what's going on here?" said Kaye as she got inbetween them.
"Kaye move, this is between me and him, now get out of the way." replied Kento coldly as he kept his eyes on Sage.
"No Kento, I'm not going to move. You and Sage have been friends for a long time. Don't go and throw it out of the window just because of a stupid arguement." said Kaye sternly.
"Kaye, Kento's right. It's time that we settled this once and for all." stated Sage coldly as he got ready to fight Kento.
"Bring it on blonde!" taunted Kento as he was ready to fight.
"Kento, Sage don't! Please, don't do this!" pleaded Kaye.
"So what are you going to do Kento? Are you going to let your girlfriend talk to you that way, or are you going to be your own man and fight me?" taunted Sage.
"No one tells me what I can or can't do! Get ready Sage, because here I come!" warned Kento as he threw Kaye back towards the others.
"Kaye, are you alright?" asked Cye as he caught her before she fell.
"I..I think so, Cye what's going on?" asked Kaye quietly as she looked at him while trying to keep her tears from falling.
"I wish that I knew." replied Cye as he tried to comfort her.
Ryo and Rowen were having just about enough of this. They knew that what was going on between Kento and Sage wasn't normal. So just moments before they started to fight, Ryo went behind Kento and Rowen went behind Sage and restrained them.
"Kento, snap out of it! What's gotten into you?" asked Ryo as he was fighting to keep his hold on Kento.
"Sage knock it off! Have you completely took leave of your senses?" asked Rowen as he was also fighting to keep his hold on Sage. The two Ronins stopped fighting and looked at each other in confusion. As soon as Ryo and Rowen noticed that Sage and Kento were back to normal they let them go.
"Would someone tell us what the heck just happened?" asked Sage in confusion.
"You mean that neither of you remember?" asked Rowen as he looked at them.
"The last thing I remember is that my armor was shielding me and Kaye from Maji's last attack; and then when it said something about how our armors react to how we feel, that's it. Why what happened?" asked Kento in confusion.
"You and Sage were about to tear each other apart, and then Kaye stepped inbetween you two and tried to stop ya. Then you threw her back..." replied Rowen as he was trying to explain what recently took place.
"I did what!" said Kento in shock.
"You threw her back towards us, luckily I caught her before she fell." replied Cye as he and Kaye walked up to them.
"Kaye, I'm sorry, are you alright? I didn't mean.." said Kento as he went over to her.
"Yea I'm, I'm fine Kento. It's ok." replied Kaye quietly.
"I think that I know what happened, I'm surprised that none of us thought of it sooner." said Sage as he finally spoke.
"Well Sage are you going to tell us or what?" asked Ryo.
"Maji must have messed with our heads somehow." replied Sage as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Hey Sage, sorry man." said Kento as he looked at him while trying to comfort Kaye.
"I'm sorry too Kento." replied Sage as he looked back.
"Now that you two have finally buried the hatchet. We still have to find a way to get our armors back, defeat Maji, and find a way home." said Rowen as he brought them back to reality.
"We know Rowen, but until we can figure out what's real and what's not, I say that Maji and the armors have more of a handle on things than we do." replied Ryo as he looked around at them.
Back in Maji's chaimbers, Maji and the armors were having their own conversations. "What could you have been possibly thinking armor of Halo?" asked Maji angrily.
"What do you mean by that Maji?" asked the armor of Halo.
"Why did you help her?" asked Maji as he glared at the armor of Halo.
"What did you want me to do, just let her die?" asked the armor of Halo angrily. Maji didn't give a verbal response to the armor of Halo's question. Instead he walked towards the stand where his magic book was laying open, and he began to leaf through the pages.
"Hey Maji, don't even start to act like we're not here! You still didn't answer the question! Hey, I'm talking to you!" yelled the armor of Hardrock.
"What question was that? Oh I remmeber now, you mean about the one that was about letting her die?" asked Maji as he continued to leaf through the magic book.
"Yea that question! Well, are you going to answer it or what!?" asked the Tiger armor in anger.
"I suppose that I will tell you, since you are all being so insitant about having an answer. Then yes, I wanted you to just let her die. There, are you satisfied?" replied Maji as he continued to read a few spells.
"Why you cold-hearted, son of a ..." said the armor of Hardrock as it started to charge at Maji angrily.
"I would suggest that you back off if you know what's good for you. Besides you're wrong, I'm not cold-hearted, I'm just heartless. Anyway, what do you think that you were doing shielding those two?" asked Maji as he looked up with very cold eyes.
"That's not of your concern. What I do is my business, not yours or anyone elses. You got that!" replied the armor of Hardrock as it glared at Maji.
"Fair enough, now why don't you all just leave. You're making me lose my concentration." said Maji as he looked back down at the magic book. The armors looked at each other with a mixture of anger and confusion. Then they reluctantly decided to leave Maji alone in his chaimber.
"It's what I feared would come to pass. The armors are becoming harder and harder to keep under my control. If I don't do something quick, then they will be reunited with their wearers. Something will have to be done about this." thought Maji as he continued to leaf through his magic book.
In a different part of the nexus, "Who does Maji think he is, ordering us around?" asked the armor of Wildfire.
"I don't know Wildfire, but I do know that this whole test thing is getting way out of control. Something has to be done before it gets way out of hand." said the armor of Strata.
"I have news for ya Strata, it's already way out of hand." replied the armor of Hardrock.
"I agree with Hardrock, what Maji did was totally uncalled for." said the Tiger armor.
"But I thought that this was suppose to be part of the test, right?" asked the armor of Torrent.
"Since when does trying to kill one of the wearers on purpose, part of the test Torrent?" asked the armor of Halo.
"You have a point there, so now what do you propose that we do?" asked the armor of Torrent.
"The way I see it we have two choices, one we can either go along with Maji's plans. Or two, we can team up with the Ronins and Kaye and fight against Maji." suggested the Tiger armor.
"We don't even know what Maji's plans are? He'll probably turn on us in an instant." said the armor of Halo.
"So then are you saying Halo, that we team up with the Ronins and Kaye?" asked the armor of Hardrock.
"No, not team up, we join back up with them. They'll going to need their full armor in order to fight." replied the armor of Halo.
"So then what are we waiting for, let's go!" said the armor of Strata as they went to find them.
Unknown to the armors, Maji was listening in on their conversation. "I was wondering what it would take for the armors to turn against me. It looks like that it's time for me to put this new plan into action." thougth Maji before he disappeared.
"Hey Sage, earth to Sage, are ya in there?" asked Rowen as he was trying to get his attention.
"Huh, sorry Rowen, did you say something?" asked Sage as he looked over at him.
"Yea, we were wondering what has you so preoccupied." replied Rowen. Sage looked around at them before answering.
