While Kaye was falling, at the same time in the Koji mansion Kento's kanji on his forhead and chain also flared. His eyes went wide with shock, while he dropped his glass that he was holding. Mia ran into the kitchen when she heard the loud crash. "Kento what's wrong?!" Mia asked as she ran over to him.
"Mia, something happened in the nexus. I heard Kaye's voice in my head, and then for a split second I could see her, it looked like she was falling. AAAHHHH!" Kento replied as he clutched his head from the pain. Mia quickly took Kento to a nearby chair and sat him down.
In the nexus, "She trusted me, how could I of let her down like that?" Rowen thought.
"Instead of beating yourself up over what happened, why don't we just go down after her." replied the armor of Strata. Rowen gave a quick look back at his friends and jumped in with his armor.
"Rowen!" Sage yelled as he and the others watched him and his armor dive over the side.
"Rowen are you out of your mind?" Kaye yelled as she spotted Rowen and his armor diving towards her.
"Kaye hold on, we're coming." Rowen yelled as they were getting closer.
"What do you think that you're doing?" Kaye yelled back.
"We're going to get you back up there! Kaye you have to try and grab for my hand!" Rowen yelled as he reached for her. Kaye started to reach for his hand, but he was barely out of reach.
"You're too far! I can't reach you!" Kaye yelled.
"Keep trying, come on!" Rowen yelled as he tried to grab her hand.
"There has to be another way. Wait a minute, that's it why didn't I think of this before." thought the armor of Strata.
"Hey! What the?" Kaye said as she felt something fly by her.
"Kaye what is it?" Rowen asked.
"I felt something fly by me, Rowen I think that it was your armor. But what is it going to do?" Kaye asked as she looked at him.
"I think that I know, Kaye you have to stay in line with it, trust me. Everything will be alright." Rowen replied.
Kaye nodded, "I hope that this works." Rowen thought.
Meanwhile on top of the bridge, "can anybody see them?" Cye asked as he and the others were trying to get a fix on them.
"No, I can't see anything. Wait a minute, I think that I see something." Ryo said as he looked down further. A bright dark blue light flared for about a minute, and then it went dark again.
"What was that?" Cye asked.
"I think that I know, and you won't believe what I'm seeing now." Sage replied with a grin as he spotted Rowen and Kaye in one of his energy fields. The two floated down to where the others were, and the energy field disappeared.
In the kitchen of the Koji mansion, Kento slowly opened his eyes and looked up at a very concerned Mia.
"Kento, are you alright?" Mia asked.
"Yea Mia, I'm fine." Kento replied as he laid back in his chair.
At the bridge in the nexus, "Rowen, Kaye you're both alright!" Ryo said in excitement.
"Yea, man that was definately an E-ticket ride. Remind me never to do that ever again ok." Kaye replied with a small smile.
"Ok, now are you going to tell us why you pulled a disappearing act on us or what?" Ryo asked as he glared at the armors.
"We were forbidden to interfere with that part of the test. If we did, then the outcome would have been much worse." replied the armor of Wildfire.
"Worse? How could it of been any worse than what just happened? On second thought, don't tell me I don't want to know." Kaye replied.
"Hey guys, it looks like it's my turn to leave." Rowen said as his armor began to glow and he began to fade.
"Rowen thanks for the save, I owe you one!" Kaye said as she and the others watched him go back home. Back at the kitchen, a bright dark blue light flashed blinding Mia and Kento for a few seconds, and then it calmed down.
"Rowen, is that you?" Kento asked as he and Mia took down their hands from their eyes.
"Well yea, who else would it be?" Rowen asked as he called back his armor.
"Rowen, what's been going on in the nexus? Is everyone alright?" Mia asked as he sat down at the table.
"It's a long story, but yea everyone is just fine." Rowen replied as he got them up to speed.
"Good, I'm glad that everyone is ok." Kento replied as he got up and grabbed his jacket.
"Kento, where are you going?" Mia asked as he opened the door.
"I'm just going to be outside for a while, don't worry I'll be back soon." Kento replied as he shut the door behind him.
"Mia, what's with him?" Rowen asked as he looked over at her curiously.
"I think that he somehow had some kind of vision." Mia replied.
"What kind of vision?" Rowen asked.
"He said that he heard Kaye in his head, and then for a split second he saw her falling from somewhere. Then he yelled while clutching his head in pain. Just before you came back, he seemed like he was ok again." Mia explained.
"I see." Rowen said as he got up from his chair and grabbed for his jacket.
"Rowen now where are you going?" Mia asked as he also went to the door.
"I think that Kento and I need to talk." Rowen replied as he went after Kento.
Back in the nexus, 'How did you like the show? I hope that it was suspenseful enough for you.' Maji taunted.
'You will pay for that, and I will make sure of it personally.' Lightning warned as he was about to take a swipe at him.
'I wouldn't if I were you, my old friend unless if you want something else to happen to her. Besides you're in no position to be making threats. Now unless you let me do the tests my way, nothing more too tragic will happen. But if you interfere, let's just say that I don't think that I'll be able to guarantee her safety. Are we clear?' Maji asked.
'Yes I understand.' Lightning replied as he backed away from him.
'Now that's a good tiger. Don't you think that you should get back to the other elders and continue to watch the test?' Maji asked.
Just as Lightning was about to leave, he turned around and faced him again. 'Maji don't forget about what I said. Somehow, I will make you pay for what you've done.' Lightning warned as he left Maji's chaimber.
"That tiger! How dare he threaten me! Who does he think he is anyway? Doesn't he see that I'm in total control? As long as I keep the Dream Walker here in the nexus, then he can't touch me." Maji said as he kicked something out of the way.
"What's this? I haven't seen one of these in an extremely long time. It could provide to be useful later. I think that it's time for me to put in another appearance." Maji thought as he put the object into his pocket and then disappeared.
"It looks like those things suddenly stopped. But why?" Ryo asked as he looked back towards the bridge.
"Ryo, I think that he's your answer to why." Sage replied as he saw that Maji appeared.
"Well done, I was wondering on who was going to be the next one to pass the test. It's too bad that my creatures didn't serve their purpose, well I suppose that they no longer deserve to live." Maji said as he blew up the bridge that the creatures were standing on.
"How could you do that? They were alive, how can you just take their lives away just like they were nothing?" Kaye asked as she charged at him.
"Kaye, don't!" Cye said as he got a hold of her.
"Easy, but I'm surprised that you, you of all people, would show compassion towards those creatures that threw you over the bridge and into the abyss." Maji replied coldly.
"Maji! You will pay for everything that you've done!" Kaye warned as she looked at him angrily.
"Interesting, that's almost the exact words that a particular tiger said to me not too long ago." Maji replied with a smirk.
"Lightning? What did you do? Tell me, what did you do?!" Kaye said as she glared at him.
"He's fine, I didn't lay a hand on the tiger. For some reason, he seems to be quite concerned about you my dear. Why is that I wonder. Oh I know, maybe it's because I've told him to stay out of my way, or else something unfortunate might happen to you." Maji taunted with a laugh.
"Hey pal, that's enough! You can just back off right there! Because if you don't I'll make sure that you'll never be able to leave here ever again!" Cye said as his eyes blazed with anger.
"This isn't like you Cye of the Torrent. Even though I find your outburst rather amusing. Anyway, I believe that the next test is going to begin soon, so I would suggest that you figure out how to pass this one before it's too late." Maji said as he disappeared.
"Coward!" Ryo yelled nowhere in particular.
"Cye, you can let go now." Kaye said.
"Oh, yea sorry." Cye replied as he had a slight blush.
"It's ok, um Cye, mind if I ask ya something?" Kaye asked as they started to walk in no particular direction.
"I guess not, what did you want to know?" Cye asked curiously.
"Ever since I've met you guys, I've never seen you lose your cool. So I guess what I'm asking is what made you finally, please don't take this the wrong way, but to finally snap?" Kaye asked as the stopped.
Cye started to chuckle at her question, "what's so funny?" Kaye asked as she gave him a curious look.
"Your question." Cye replied.
"What do you mean?" Kaye asked.
"Think about it for a minute. When we all met, we've became rather close right. Well, ever since Kento told me how he felt. I made him a promise that if for some reason you two would get separated, I would watch over you. Besides, you make him very happy, and if something did happen to you, then Kento would be one of the most difficult people to live with." Cye replied with a smile.
Kaye laughed a little, "ok I see your point. I promise to be careful from now on." Kaye replied with a smile.
"Now that's better, come on let's go find Ryo and Sage before anything else happens." Cye said as they went to look for them. Just as Kaye was going to respond, they heard a fight breaking out not too far away.
"It sounds like Ryo and Sage are going to need some back up." Kaye said as they took off towards the fight.
"Mia, something happened in the nexus. I heard Kaye's voice in my head, and then for a split second I could see her, it looked like she was falling. AAAHHHH!" Kento replied as he clutched his head from the pain. Mia quickly took Kento to a nearby chair and sat him down.
