(English translations)

"Where am I? I can't see anything. What's going on? Why can't I move?" Kaye thought angrily.

"It would be wise if you would stop your struggling. You'll only hurt yourself more." a voice hissed.

Realizing who was talking to her, Kaye froze with fear. "Get away from me." Kaye replied as she tried to find her voice.

"Why don't we take off that blindfold so you can see better." the dark entity replied as he motioned to Imita. Imita nodded, and then walked over to Kaye, and removed the blindfold. Kaye blinked a few times so she could focus her vision.

"There, now isn't that better?" Imita asked with an evil grin as she stepped back from her.

Just as Imita stepped back, Taka (Falcon) and his guards arrived with the Ronins. "Kaye! Get her off of that thing, right now!" Kento said as his eyes flared with anger.

"No I don't think so, it's time for Karasu (Raven) to fulfill her unmei (destiny)." Taka (Falcon) replied with an evil grin.

"What unmei (destiny)? What do you mean?" Ryo asked in anger.

"Why don't you gentlemen hang around and find out for yourselves." Taka (Falcon) replied as he magically forced them onto the pillars.

"Imita it's time, bring me the soul stone." the dark entity said as he began the ceremony. Imita nodded and shortly came back with the soul stone and placed it a few feet away from Kaye.

"Soon, I'll be whole again!" the dark entity said as he got between them. Kaye tried to struggle out of her bonds, but each time that she struggled, the bonds became tighter and tighter. Then it began to glow, and the dark entity started to slowly take form.

"This can't be happening! This can't be real, but somehow I know that it is" Kaye thought as tears were flowing freely down her face. The stitches on Kaye's side flew open, as the blood flowed down her side.

"No! Dammit, we have to do something!" Kento said as he and the others watched from above.

"As long as were stuck up here, we can't do a dam thing!" Ryo replied angrily.

"Stop! That's enough!" a voice said from the shadows.

"Who's there?" the dark entity hissed, as he was halfway through his transformation.

"I'm surprised that you don't remember me. You should, especially after what you turned me into, you should of killed me when you had the chance." the voice replied as the figure stepped out of the shadows.

"Inuzumi (Lightning), I was wondering when you were going to show up." the dark entity said as it turned it's head to face him.

"Did you think that I would allow you to take my daughter's soul?" Lightning asked as he turned from a form of a tiger, to a form of a man.

"Father, he's. He's my father?" Kaye asked in confusion.

"By her confusion Inuzumi (Lightning), I take it that you didn't tell her. How interesting, I suppose the ceremony could be put on delay while I take care of you." the dark entity replied as the soul stone stopped glowing.

The dark entity turned his head from Inuzumi (Lightning) and back to Kaye. "This won't take long, after I take care of your father, then I'll finish with you." the dark entity said as he caressed her face with the back of his hand.

"Now demon, we will continue the fight that we had those many years ago." Inuzumi (Lighting) said as he faced off with the dark entity.

"I've been waiting a long time Inuzumi (Lightning). You're right I should have killed you, instead of changing you into a tiger. It would have been much easier." the dark entity replied as he began the fight with Inuzumi (Lightning).

"It looks like your himitsu (secret) is finally out Inuzumi (Lightning), and your daughter isn't taking it very well." the dark entity said as he swiped at Inuzumi's (Lightning's) side.

Lightning quickly looked over to where Kaye was strapped down to the ceremonial table. Her eyes showed a mixture of hurt, anger and sadness all at the same time. Lightning quickly adverted his eyes away from her, and then glared over at the dark entity in front of him. "Come now Inuzumi (Lightning), how long did you think that you could protect your daughter from her destiny? I will have her soul, and she'll become the most fear assassin in history. Why would you deny her that?" the dark entity asked with an evil glint in its eyes.

"As long as I live, I won't allow you to complete this ceremony! Now die demon!" Inuzumi (Lightning) replied as he lunged for the dark entity. Just as Lightning was about to go in for the kill, the dark entity was quicker and thrust his short blade into Inuzumi's (Lightning's) heart.

"Lightning...no, father!" Kaye yelled as she watched in horror as Lightning fell to the ground and changed back into a tiger. The dark entity laughed, and then started to walk over to Kaye.

'Karasu (Raven).' Lightning said weakly.

'Lightning, when were you going to tell me that you were my father?' Kaye asked.

'If I told you, were you going to believe me?' Lightning asked.

'I might of, if you would of given me the chance.' Kaye replied.

"Sorry, but I think that you've had more than enough time to say goodbye. Now if you don't mind, I think that we shall proceed with the ceremony." the dark entity said as he got back between Kaye and the soul stone.

"No! I'm the only one that controls my destiny, no one else! I won't become an assassin, I won't!" Kaye said angrily as she tried again to get out of her bonds.

"Such spirit, this is going to be a lot more enjoyable that I thought. Soul stone, hear my plea take this one's soul and transfer it to me." the dark entity said as the soul stone began to glow. Kaye's movements were starting to slow down the brighter that it glowed. Then as it reached it's peak, all was still. A loud roar erupted from the dark entity, as Kaye's soul entered its body.

"Kaye!" Kento yelled grief stricken as he and the others watched helplessly from the pillars.

"It's done! I'm whole again!" the dark entity said as he was laughing.

"Give back Kaye's soul!" Sage yelled as they were trying to get loose.

"Give it back? Are you serious? There's no way that I can just give her soul back, especially since now that I'm whole again. So you can just forget it, but if you think that you can take it back from me, then go for it." the dark entity replied as he released the Ronins from the pillars.

"You want a fight, then you got one! Armor of Inferno!" Ryo yelled.

"This should provide to be an interesting fight." the dark entity said with an evil grin.

While the fight between the Ronins and the dark entity was going on, Imita was cutting Kaye free. "This isn't how it was suppose to be. How could have I been so foolish? All I wanted was my daughter back." Imita thought as she was kneeling next to Kaye on the ground.
