"Put her soul back!" Kento yelled enraged as he glared at the dark entity.

"As I already told your friend. If you want me to do that, then you have to come and get it." the dark entity replied with an evil grin.

"Ryo, do it! Use the Inferno!" Kento said as he kept his eyes on it.

"Kento, I don't know what'll happen if I use it. I don't want to risk hurting Kaye while her soul is trapped inside." Ryo replied angrily.

"Ryo!" Kento said angrily.

"You haven't changed from the last time that we met. You're still as hardheaded as ever. Don't you get it? Your friend is right, if you hurt me, then you hurt your precious dream walker." the dark entity replied with a cold grin.

"No! You're lying!" Kento said with anger in his eyes.

"I see that a demonstration is in order. Very well, if that is what it's going to take to convince you, then so be it." the dark entity replied as he took out a small blade and made a cut across his open hand. From where Kaye was laying, she made a loud scream of pain as blood ran down her hand.

Cye gritted his teeth in pain, trying to keep himself from yelling out. "What's this? How come my hand is bleeding? It doesn't make sense." Cye thought as he tightened his hand onto his yari to stop the bleeding.

"Stop it! That's enough! We get your point." Rowen said angrily as he glared at it.

"Now I would suggest that you call off that armor. Unless of course, you want her to suffer more," the dark entity replied as he brought the small blade up again.

"All right you win. Ryo call it back! Call it back now!" Cye said angrily. The others looked back at Cye in confusion. Ryo nodded and then he called back the Inferno.

"Cye, what's the deal? You never lose your cool like this. So why now?" Sage asked. Cye gave no response; he just kept glaring at the dark entity in anger.

"It looks like you have at least one sensible person in your group. Now the question is, what am I going to do with you?" the dark entity wondered.

"I don't know why, but for some reason I want to help those annoying Ronins. Is it because of what that thing did to my daughter? Or because of something else? I do know one thing, the longer that I hesitate, the shorter the time my daughter will have to get her soul back." Imita thought, as she got ready to attack.

"You monster! You said that you would give me my daughter, not suck her soul into that stone!"
Imita said in extreme anger.

"Imita, I'm surprised at you. You should have realized that I had something else in mind when I made you that promise. I guess that you must be slipping." the dark entity replied as he turned around and grinned at her.

"Slipping? I'll show you who's slipping!" Imita said as she dived at the dark entity with her daggers pointed at it.

"Imita, no!" Rowen yelled as he shot a couple of arrows towards her pinning her to a nearby pillar.

"You fool! What do you think that you're doing?" Imita asked in anger.

"I was trying to save Kaye's life. Didn't you see what the dark entity did to its hand?" Rowen asked angrily.

"Of course I saw!" Imita replied as she glared at him.

"Then why did you attack him?" Sage asked in anger.

"Yes Imita, tell them. Why did you decide to attack me?" the dark entity asked coldly.

"I wasn't attacking you directly! I was trying to get at the stone that's in your chest! To get my daughter's soul back, that stone has to be destroyed." Imita replied.

"Is what she's saying true?" Cye asked as he glared at it.

"Yes, it's true. The only way to free the souls that are trapped inside of this stone is for it to be destroyed. Enough of this chit chat, it's time for me to get rid of you annoying pests," the dark entity said as it began it's attack on the Ronins.

Just then, "I won't let you hurt them!" Kaye said as she stopped him before he could attack.

The Ronins looked at the frozen body of the dark entity in complete confusion. "Kaye?" Kento asked.

"Yea. Listen, I don't know how long that I can hold him. You have to get out of here." Kaye replied.

"What! Kaye no, forget it! I'm not leaving here without you!" Kento said stubbornly.

"Dammit Kento! Go! You and the others can come back for me." Kaye replied.

"Kento, I don't want to admit it, but Kaye's right. That thing has a major advantage against us. We have to fall back." Rowen said as he firmly gripped Kento's shoulder.

"No, I'm not leaving her!" Kento replied angrily as he hit off Rowen's hand.

"I'm sorry Kento, but it's for your own good." Ryo said as he applied some kind of pressure technique so that Kento would become unconscious.

"Kaye, I promise that we'll be back for you." Ryo said as Sage and Rowen picked Kento up and started to carry him away.

"I know you will Ryo. I'll fight him as long as I can. Now go." Kaye replied as he and the others kept going. A loud scream suddenly filled the air, making Ryo stop and take a look back.

He was just about to go back, until someone grabbed him from behind. "Ryo come on!" Cye said as he pulled Ryo along with him.

Shortly, "Amazing, you still fight me even though I have your soul. You thought that you would be saving them from me. Don't worry, I know that all of you will be together," the dark entity said as he got control over himself again.

"Karasu (Raven)." Imita whispered in surprise.

"Taka (Falcon), take this traitor and get her ready for the ceremony." the dark entity said as it walked over to her.

"Of course master. But what do you want me to do with her?" Taka (Falcon) asked as he pointed over to Kaye's body.

"Don't you worry, I'll take care of that little detail myself," the dark entity replied.

"Yes my lord, but what about the Ronins?" Taka (Falcon) asked, as he was getting ready to follow his master's orders.

"They are right now of no concern to me," the dark entity said, as he got ready to take Imita's soul.

"I knew that you would turn on me someday." Imita said as she glared at the dark entity.

"Of course I was. You are no longer needed, soon you will be reunited with your daughter just like you wanted. Well maybe not exactly, but you'll still be together." the dark entity replied as he set the soul stone down and began the ceremony. A loud roar could be heard for miles, Imita's soul was now inside of the stone.

"That was definately satisfying. Go and keep watch, I'm sure that those annoying pests will come back sometime tonight." the dark entity ordered.

"Soon I'll be rid of those Ronins, and then the whole world will be mine." the dark entity thought as he gave an evil laugh.
