"What are you doing here?" Sage asked as they stopped and got into defensive positions.
"My business here is none of your concern." Imita replied coldly.
"Too bad lady, 'cause we're making it our business. So unless you state why you're here, I suggest that you take your leave." Rowen said as he glared at her.
"Very well, if you're going to be that way about it, then I'll tell you. Karasu (Raven), I deliver to you an ultimatum. Either you come with me willingly, or someone that you care about very much will pay the price." Imita replied as she glared dangerously at Kaye.
"Kaye's not going anywhere with you, so you can just forget it!" Cye said as a hint of anger rose in his voice.
"Karasu (Raven), how can you stay with them, they are not your family, I am. So how can you choose them over me?" Imita asked angrily.
"Easy, they've been right by my side ever since we've met. They've never abandoned me, and they know that I wouldn't abandon them either. Unlike you, you were the one that made me believe that you were dead! You were the one that abandoned me when I needed you! A real mother, if she honestly cared, wouldn't put her own child through what you did to me! As far as I'm concerned, Imita, you will never be my mother! You are, back then as of now, and forever, dead to me!" Kaye replied angrily as she glared at Imita while she was trying hard to hold back her tears. Imita gave Kaye a look of great shock, and then her eyes turned cold and unforgiving.
"Then so be it, it still doesn't matter, you'll still be coming with me one way or the other." Imita replied coldly. The guys couldn't believe what Kaye just said. They were torn between
feelings of confusion and pride for what she just did. They knew that it wasn't easy for her, then they quickly formed a circle around Kaye and got ready for whatever Imita was going to throw at them. Imita motioned for the soldiers to attack, while she hovered about and watched for her opportunity to strike.
"Man, these tin cans seem to be stronger than the ones that Talpa had back in the Dynasty." Kento said as he blocked an attack.
"No kidding, alright it looks like we are going to have to kick it up. Ronin Warriors, to Arms!" Ryo said as she called for them to armor up. After they transformed into their armors, the battle intensified even more.
"Whoa, these guys are juiced! Where are they getting all of their power from?" Sage asked as he delivered an attack.
"I'm not sure, Sage, but no matter what, we can't stop fighting until they are all gone." Kaye said while she swept out the feet of her opponent and then brought down her bo-staff upon its chest.
"It looks like it's time to put my plan into effect. Now where's my target? Ah there it is." Imita replied as she disappeared.
"Hey, where did Imita go?" Cye asked as he delivered an attack.
"She's over there! Hey, Kento, watch out!" Rowen warned as he spotted Imita behind him.
"What! Whoa! Hey lady watch it with those katanas, you could really hurt someone with those things." Kento said as he barely ducked out of the way.
"That's the idea, you fool!" Imita replied as she attacked Kento fiercely.
"Guys, we have to get to him!" Kaye said as she barely got out of the way of an attack.
"We're trying to, but they're too many of them! Kaye, you're closer than we are, maybe you can get to him, I'll cover ya the best that I can." Rowen said as he shot off a few of his arrows.
"I'm gone!" Kaye replied as she started to run towards the fight between Kento and Imita. Imita noticed that Kaye was getting closer and closer by the minute. Just as she was getting a few feet closer, Imita gave an evil grin.
"What are you grinning about?" Kento asked as he noticed that she has something up her
sleeve.
"Just waiting until she gets a little closer, and then you'll see what I'm grinning about soon enough." Imita replied coldly. It didn't take long for Kento to understand who Imita was talking about.
"Kaye, watch out!" Kento warned.
"Firewall!" Imita called upon as Kaye was close enough to the battle. Kento's warning came too late, for the fact that Imita's firewall was all around her. No matter where she tried to go, the firewall kept on closing in. Kento quickly looked towards Kaye and then back to Imita, anger erupted in his eyes.
"Let her out of there now!" Kento yelled at her.
Imita just stood there laughing, "Who are you to order me around little man? I'm the one that has complete control in this fight. Since Karasu (Raven) refuses to come with me willingly, then I have no other choice. Karasu (Raven), now you'll stand there helpless, while I take the one that means the most to you right before your eyes." Imita said as she glared at Kaye. Imita started to chant some kind of ancient phrase, and just then a thick fog started to form around them. Then in a blink of an eye they were gone, and the firewall disappeared.
"Kento...Kento! No!" Kaye yelled as she fell to her knees. The soldiers disappeared and then the rest of the Ronins ran over to where Kaye was kneeling.
"I don't believe it! He's...he's gone." Cye said in disbelief.
"And it's my fault, it's all my fault. She wouldn't have taken him if I went with her. I could of prevented this from happening, but all I could do was watch." Kaye whispered angrily.
"Kaye, what could you have done? You were in a firewall for crying out loud!" Ryo said as he tried to reason with her.
"Ryo." Cye said as he slowly shook his head.
Meanwhile...
In Taka's (Falcon's) chambers, Imita was waiting for her lords arrival, along with a very annoyed Kento. "If Kaye is hurt in any way, I'll..." Kento warned as he glared at her.
"I wouldn't be worrying about her right at the moment, if I were you, I would be more worried about yourself." Taka (Falcon) said as he walked into his chambers. Imita bowed respectfully as he entered, she then noticed that Kento wasn't bowing,
"You insolent dog! You will give the proper respect, and bow to the lord of the assassins!" Imita said angrily as she then forcefully made him fall onto his knees.
"I bow to no one! I choose who I give my allegiance to, and no one can say otherwise!" Kento said angrily.
"Why you!" Imita replied angrily as she was about to strike Kento across the face. He knew what her intentions were, so he braced himself.
"Imita, that's not called for. He's a guest while he's here with us. So show the proper manners, and let him stand on his own two feet." Taka (Falcon) said as he came closer to them.
"If this is how you treat your guests, then I would hate to see how you treat everyone else." Kento said as he glared at Taka (Falcon). Taka (Falcon) ignored Kento's comment for the moment, and then walked over to his assassin.
"Imita, I'm impressed with what you've planned. Now explain to me how you're going to have your daughter find us, especially since you didn't bother to tell her where we are." Taka (Falcon) said in an angry whisper.
"Don't worry my lord, I wanted to stash him here before I went back and delivered my message. I was just about to leave, when you came over here." Imita whispered back.
"Then be quick about it!" Taka (Falcon) said as he glared at her. Imita bowed and then disappeared, then Taka (Falcon) turned and walked over to where Kento was standing.
"Where did she go?" Kento asked angrily.
"That's not any of your concern. If you must know, Imita is delivering a message to your Dream Walker as we speak." said a dark and cold voice that was coming from the shadows.
Kento quickly turned around and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "It can't be, there's no way that you could have survived." Kento said in surprise.
"You two know each other, my dark entity?" Taka (Falcon) asked as the dark entity floated away from the corner of Taka's (Falcon's) chambers.
"Yes, we've met. It was a long time ago, you see I once had possession of the Dream Walker, in body and soul, but for some reason she and this one here some how freed her from me. To this day, I've been planning my revenge, and soon I'll have it." the dark entity replied as it came closer to Kento.
"You better get away from me, if you know what's good for you?" Kento warned angrily.
"Don't worry, Kento of Hardrock, it's not you that I'm after. You see, Taka (Falcon) and Imita needed someone to help them get her daughter back. Who was I to prevent the family reunion, so I told them that I would give them unimaginable powers. But in turn, they would agree to only obey me." the dark entity replied coldly.
"So what shall we do with him?" Taka (Falcon) asked as he looked over Kento.
"Do with him as you see fit, but then throw him into the tower, and then we'll wait for the Dream Walker to come and save him." the dark entity replied as it disappeared. Taka (Falcon) approached Kento slowly, knowing full well that Kento was a worthy adversary. Kento took a defensive position right away, trying to keep his eyes on Taka (Falcon).
Back at the Koji mansion, Kaye was still standing outside in her sub-armor, and looking towards the sky. "Kento, I swear, I'll get you back. She'll pay for what she did, I promise you." Kaye thought.
"Guys, she's been standing out there for the last two hours. Why doesn't someone try and get her to come inside, or at least go out and talk to her?" Mia asked as she looked from the window and to the guys.
"Don't you think that we've tried to Mia? But every time that one of us goes out there, she goes all non-responsive. Why don't you go out there and see if you can do any better?" Rowen asked.
"Alright I'll do just that!" Mia said as she grabbed her coat and went outside to talk with her best friend.
"Mia." Kaye said as she kept her gaze on the sky.
"How did you know that it was me, and not one of the guys?" Mia asked as she walked up beside Kaye.
"Easy, how can a girl not know her best friend? Besides, I could hear the yelling between you and Rowen." Kaye replied as she finally looked at Mia.
"Kaye, the guys and I are just concerned about you. So why don't you talk to them? You know that it's not going to help anything if you keep it all to yourself." Mia said.
"Yea, Mia, I know that, but it's my fault that Kento was taken. I should of went with her, because if I did then Kento would be here..." Kaye said as she was becoming sad again.
"And you would be there, with them. How would you think that Kento would feel if you went with her huh? You know what happened wasn't your fault. What would Kento say if he was here? He wouldn't want you to keep blaming yourself over this, and you know it." Mia said sternly. Kaye looked at Mia and gave her a small smile.
"Thanks, Mia." Kaye replied.
"Anytime, now how about we both go inside before we freeze." Mia said as she started to walk over to the door.
"Would ya give me a few minutes Mia?" Kaye asked. Mia nodded and went inside, Kaye looked at the sky one more time, and then started to walk towards the door. But just before she opened it, she felt a familiar presence.
"Imita! Come on out and face me!" Kaye said as she took a defensive
position.
"Temper, temper, now I don't think that you got that from me." Imita taunted.
"Where's, Kento, if you hurt him in any way I'll..." Kaye said angrily.
"Now that's interesting, he said close to the same thing. You two must really care about each other to say something like that to me." Imita taunted again.
"Enough! Are you here to tell me where I can find Kento or not?" Kaye asked as she glared at her.
"What are you doing here?" Sage asked as they stopped and got into defensive positions.
"My business here is none of your concern." Imita replied coldly.
"Too bad lady, 'cause we're making it our business. So unless you state why you're here, I suggest that you take your leave." Rowen said as he glared at her.

"Kaye's not going anywhere with you, so you can just forget it!" Cye said as a hint of anger rose in his voice.
"Karasu (Raven), how can you stay with them, they are not your family, I am. So how can you choose them over me?" Imita asked angrily.
