Earth: Toyama, Japan.
Faye and Audi were on the couch. Audi was trying to reasure her step- sister. Faye kept on staring into space but at least she wasn't trembling any more. Audi softly whispered comforting words to her as she rubbed her back. The others sadly watched the two while sitting in the living room. Faye clutched Audi close to her as though she was afraid she would leave.
"It's okay Faye. Nothing can make me go over to the dark side." Audi said. Faye nodded and Audi sighed in relief. "What happened? What made you rush out of the house so fast?"
"Donovon whispered to me that you had turned." she replied. The warlords looked at her surprised. "I hate him Audi! I do! I wish he never was born!" she covered her face with her hands.
"I know, if it weren't for him though. We would never have become sisters. We would never had known." Audi said. Faye shook her head.
"Our parents didn't have to have him! They could have been happy with us, but no, they had to have someone with BOTH their genes." she stood up and ran to through the door.
"Faye!" Audi ran after her. Anubis stopped her though. "What are you doing Allon! She needs me!" he shook his head.
"She's hurting right now. Give her some time. She was really scared about you, Audi. Let her have some time alone." he said softly. Audi paused as she looked at him.
"Why did all this happen? Why couldn't I be the one who got those visions? I'm stronger than she is." Audi said. Anubis shook his head and pulled her to the stairs.
"Go get some rest. I'll ask Kayra to watch over Faye." he said. Audi went upstairs to her and Faye's room.
Faye ran blindly through the woods. She stopped when she came to a clearing with a stream in it. She went to the stream and collapsed. She could feel Audi's pain for her even though she was well over half a mile from the house. No one knew what she knew. She was gaining her memories much faster than Audi was. Her long white hair hung in her face and she pulled it into a bun.
"No one understands me, do they?" she whispered to the stream. It didn't answer the question, someone else did.
"No one understands what you are feeling. Except me." a masculine voice said behind her. She whirled around to see no one there. Someone tapped her shoulder and she spun. No one was there either. Except for a boot print. The shape of a subarmored foot. Her eyes widened and she backed away. Something, or someone, landed behind her and she whirled around again. Blaine stood there, his eyes glittering as he walked towards her.
"Blaine, I should have known." she hissed. He smirked and stepped closer. She moved back, trying to stay away from him.
"I'm surprised you remembered my name. Audi is with us. The one who had just comforted you was a fake. I am the only one who understands you." he said. She glared at him with all the pain, confusion, and hate she had at that moment. Which was alot. He hesitated for a second.
"Stay away from me." she growled. His smirk widened into a smile.
"I don't think so, my master, Donovon wishes to see you again." he said.
"Tell Donovon that I think he should go rot in hell for all I care. You guys can go and rot in hell as well!" she shouted. She kicked him in the chest and he flew back. She called her subarmor and ran towards the house. Blaine suddenly appeared in front of her, forcing her to swirve to avoid collison. "Leave me alone!" she ran past him and saw the house. It was across the lake, she could see the guys looking for her. She ran out of the woods and crashed headlong into Cale. They both fell down because of the momentum.
"Faye? Are you alright?" He looked her over and sighed.
"Bla..ine, following...me...run..." she pulled him to his feet and pulled him towards the house. Audi ran towards them and stood by Faye. Then she saw another Cale. She stopped. The guys stopped as well. A Cale beside Faye, and a Cale beside Anubis.
"Am I seeing two Cales?" Kento asked.
"I think we all are." Cye said, rubbing his eyes. Faye looked at the Cale beside Anubis, then backed away from the Cale beside her. She then kicked the Cale in the chest. He flew through the air and hit the house. He suddenly became Blaine.
"Blaine!" Faye growled. He stood up and looked at her.
"I'll see you again, Faye." he blew her a kiss and vanished.
"I'm going to kill him, his stupid brother, Birkita, AND Donovon!" Faye fumed. To be tricked simply by an illusion. Then, the devil himself showed up.
"Hello dear sister, and of course the ronin warriors." Donovon said. He smiled at Faye but she frowned. "I'm glad to see you still alive, or better yet, back from the dead. Such a pity you won't be able to protect this world like you did so many years before Talpa came. I will give you one last chance to join me, or die."
"Just answer me one stupid question," Faye started. Donovon raised an eyebrow. "Why did you change sides? You have Ancient blood running through your veins yet you're still evil."
"Kayra was evil, and she had Ancient blood running through her veins, why was she evil?" he threw it back at her.
"Because Talpa..." Faye trailed off. She smiled slightly and began laughing. "Now I get it, you're not my little brother I loved so much." she whispered. Audi grabbed her hand and they locked eyes. Audi turned back to Donovon angrily.
"How dare you take the form of our brother!" she shouted. Donovon Demon frowned as they realised who he was.
"Where is Donovon!" Faye shouted. The Donovon Demon waved his hand and showed a teenaged boy in the dungeons. He looked like a blend of Faye and Audi. A much younger version of Dr.Koji.
"As you can see, he is alive and well. Try and free him, if you wish." the demon laughed and disappeared.
In the living room a few minutes later,
"Blast it. I don't get it." Rowen said. "The demon who is Dr. Koji isn't really Dr. Koji, and Dr. Koji is your step-brother. How did all this happen?" Faye frowned and Audi jumped up.
"Mia? Where's your laptop?"
"I'll get it." Mia left and came back with the laptop in her hands. Audi began typing away at it while Faye pointed out a few things.
"Click there, scroll down, down, down, there click. Type in netherrealm. There." she pointed at a strange symbol. "Double-click that symbol." Audi did as she was told. A whole ten pages of a strange language appeared.
"What's that?" Kento asked.
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with that language." Mia said. Faye got Anubis and he read the words.
"It's the common language in the NetherRealm. We know what it reads." he said after a moment.
"Audi, we're going to the library." Faye grabbed a jacket and slipped it on. Audi followed suit. Rowen rose at the word 'library'.
"Let's take my car." he said.
