"What the? Rowen, Kento!" Mia yelled from outside.
"Mia, what is it?" Kento asked as they ran to her.
"That's not, it is they're back!" Rowen replied as they appeared. Ryo was carrying Cye and Sage was holding Kaye, both of them were barely moving.
"Ryo, hurry up and lay him on the ground. They don't have much time!" Sage said as he laid Kaye down.
"You're right Sage of Halo they don't have much time, and neither do you." Maji replied as he appeared before them.
"Maji!" Kento replied angrily.
"He must have followed us back here!" Ryo said as he glared at him.
"It's time for you take your last stand. With only four of you, it should be quite easy for me. Too bad, I was actually looking forward to a challenge." Maji replied as he was powering up.
"He's right, how are we going to fight him?" Ryo asked as he and the others stood in front of Cye and Kaye shielding them from Maji.
"Ryo, listen." Kaye whispered.
"Kaye, don't talk save your strength, you're going to need it." Ryo replied as he glanced back.
"Ryo, call the Inferno." Cye whispered.
"Cye, are you crazy? You don't have enough strength to lend me to call it. Besides, I don't know what kind of effect it'll have on Kaye." Ryo replied as he was starting to get angry.
"Dammit Ryo, just do it. Whatever happens happens you have to defeat Maji. Otherwise he'll..." Kaye whispered before she passed out.
"Well, I don't have all day. Are you going to fight me or not?" Maji asked as he began to get impatient.
"No, I can't risk their lives on a chance, but I can't let Maji win either. What can I do, please Ancient help me." Ryo thought as he struggled with his decision.
"Ryo..." Cye whispered as he finally passed out.
As soon as Ryo heard Cye's voice, his eyes snapped open; he knew what he had to do. "Rowen, Kento I need the two of you to stay back and watch over Cye and Kaye. Sage you're with me. I'm gonna need you to watch my back, I'm going to call upon the Inferno." Ryo said.
"Ryo, are you sure that's what you want to do?" Sage asked as he glanced over at him.
"It's the only thing that I can do." Ryo replied as he and Sage started towards Maji.
"It's about time, but only two of you are going to fight me? I thought that I would be fighting all four of you. Oh well it doesn't matter, all of you will die anyway." Maji said, as he got ready to fight.
"You're wrong Maji, you won't be fighting two of us. You'll be fighting all of us! Armor of Inferno!" Ryo yelled as he called upon it.
"What it's not possible! How can he form the Inferno?" Maji thought as he began to slowly back away.
"Rage of Inferno!" Ryo yelled as he delivered his sure-kill hitting Maji directly making him totally disappear for good.
"It worked, it actually worked! Ryo, you did it!" Rowen said as Ryo called off the armor.
"Cye, Kaye? Sage get over here! They're not breathing!" Kento said in alarm. Sage ran over and started to heal them.
"Don't you two dare leave us! Come on, you have to fight!" Mia thought in a panic. A loud gasp came from both Cye and Kaye as they began to slowly come around.
"Hey, are you two all right?" Rowen asked in concern.
"Is it over?" Kaye asked quietly.
"Yea it's over, it's finally over." Rowen replied with a small smile.
"Good. Because I for one, don't what to ever go through something like that ever again." Cye said quietly.
A few days later, after everyone was pretty much healed from their ordeal, except for Cye and Kaye who were still sore but over all fine. "Hey Cye, have you seen where Kento went to?" Kaye asked as she was helping him in the kitchen.
"Actually now that I think about it, I haven't seen Ryo or Sage around either. I wonder where..?" Cye replied.
Just before Kaye could ask another question, there was yelling that was coming from out back. "Cye and Kaye almost died because you two couldn't protect them!" Kento yelled angrily.
"Kento what did you expect us to do? We were lucky that we found them at all!" Ryo replied angrily.
"That's no excuse Ryo! You and Sage should of protected them...I should have protected them." Kento said as a mix of guilt and anger shown in his eyes.
"That's enough Kento!" Sage replied angrily.
"No it's not Sage! You two don't seem to understand, they could of died!" Kento yelled as a tear was forming in the corner of his eyes.
"But we didn't die Kento, we're right here. Everything is ok, please don't fight any more." Kaye said as she and Cye decided to try and break up the fight.
"Kento they did the best that they could." Cye replied as he and Kaye walked to either side of him.
"I'm sorry Cye, I shouldn't have made you make that promise to watch over Kaye if we ever got separated. Maybe if I wouldn't have gotten my armor back, then I would have prevented..." Kento said as he looked down.
Cye and Kaye looked at each other in concern as they realized what he was actually doing. "Kento it's no one's fault. Not Ryo's, not Sage's, and definitely not yours. Kento, you have to realize that. Look into your heart and understand what I'm saying." Kaye replied quietly.
"Kento, when I came back, and told you what happened at the bridge. You were the one that told me everything was all right. That I shouldn't blame myself, because I did everything that I could. Now what do I hear? I hear the exact opposite of what you told me. Why can't you get it through your thick head?" Rowen asked sternly.
"That's completely different Rowen." Kento replied as he lifted his head and looked at him.
"How Kento? How is the time with the bridge different from the last battle with those creatures and Maji?" Kaye asked.
"Because, I wasn't there, I let you both down! I should have been there, if I was there then what happened might have not taken place." Kento replied as he faced her.
"Dammit Kento, I don't know who's more on the guilt trips you or Ryo? Should have, and if's that's all you've been saying ever since this stupid fight started. You didn't let us down! If you didn't get your armor back, how do you think that I would have felt? How do you think that they would have felt? Did that ever cross your mind? Dammit!" Kaye said as she ran off.
"Kento you big dummy!" Cye said as he punched him in the arm.
"Cye what was that for?" Kento asked as he rubbed his arm.
"Haven't you heard a single word that we've been saying?" Cye asked as he stared at him.
"Of course I heard what you've been saying." Kento replied.
"Then why are you still standing around here for? Go after her." Rowen said.
"Before I do, Ryo, Sage I'm sorry. I guess that I..." Kento said as he looked over at them.
"No harm done Kento, it's already forgotten. Besides Rowen's right for once, if you don't go after her, then you're going to be kicking yourself even more." Ryo replied with a smirk.
Kento nodded and took off after her. "Ryo what was all of that about? What do you mean that I was right for once? Just because I'm the brains of the group, doesn't mean that I don't know anything about people's feelings." Rowen asked with a mock hurt expression.
"Relax Rowen, Ryo didn't mean anything by it. It's just that he was kinda surprised that you're a romantic." Sage replied with a smirk.
"Don't be, there's a lot more to a person that meets the eye, and you'll be wise to remember that." Rowen said as he went inside. The others looked at each other in confusion, then they shook their heads and followed him inside.
Kaye ran as far as she could, and then she fell to the ground on her hands and knees. "What was I possibly thinking? Why did I say those things?" Kaye asked as she was drying her tears.
"Rowen's right, I do have a thick head." Kento replied with a smile as he caught up to her and extended his hand for her to grab.
"Kento." Kaye replied as she reached for his hand.
"I understand now what you and the others were saying. It's just that, well I tend to listen more to my heart than my head. Maybe I should change, so maybe I should listen more to my head and less to my heart." Kento said as he pulled her up.
"Don't you dare!" Kaye replied sternly.
"I'm kidding. Relax ok." Kento said as he was laughing.
"Ok I'll relax, but please don't ever joke about something like that ever again." Kaye replied as she pulled herself closer to him.
"I promise, now what do you say that we get back, I'm sure that they're waiting for us." Kento said with a smile.
"Um no I don't think so, let's make them wait a bit longer." Kaye replied as she gave a mischievous grin.
"What are you scheming?" Kento asked.
"Scheming, me? Why Kento I would never." Kaye replied with a grin as they kissed under the setting sun.
From inside the mansion, "Rowen what were you doing just now?" Mia asked as she spotted the camera that he was holding.
"It's nothing Mia, let's just say that someone out there just paid me her favor." Rowen replied with a smirk. Mia just shook her head and left him by the window.
Rowen turned around and stared out the window again, "Now Kaye, we're even." Rowen thought as he grinned.
"Mia, what is it?" Kento asked as they ran to her.
"That's not, it is they're back!" Rowen replied as they appeared. Ryo was carrying Cye and Sage was holding Kaye, both of them were barely moving.
"Ryo, hurry up and lay him on the ground. They don't have much time!" Sage said as he laid Kaye down.
"You're right Sage of Halo they don't have much time, and neither do you." Maji replied as he appeared before them.
"Maji!" Kento replied angrily.
"He must have followed us back here!" Ryo said as he glared at him.
"It's time for you take your last stand. With only four of you, it should be quite easy for me. Too bad, I was actually looking forward to a challenge." Maji replied as he was powering up.
"He's right, how are we going to fight him?" Ryo asked as he and the others stood in front of Cye and Kaye shielding them from Maji.
