A.N. I love this story ^^.. even if I don't own the Ronin warriors/Samurai
Troopers. So don't sue me ^^ I only own my characters and The Cave of
Sirens!
Ryo slammed his hands down on the table. "Where the hell could she be!!??"
"Ryo.. calm down," Cye said quietly.
"I'm sorry." Sage said quietly. They starred at him in shock. He hadn't said anything since the nether spirit left him. Ryo's eyes softened.
"Its o.k... its not your fault.."
"Can you give us a clue as to were she is?" asked Kento. Sage shook his head and got up.
"I'm going to go meditate on it." he left quietly and the rest continued to go over maps, circling the possible places with red marker. So far. the map was covered with red circles.

Sage sat on his favorite rock in the woods. The sunlight did not affect him, and he got in position. He started to reach out his soul...
~...~
"Darkness beyond Twilight. The light that flows.
Swaying waters, rocking fire to and fro.
Deep in caverns of justice and soul,
The one of searching lies in the whole.
The raging inferno seems to tell.
She lies in the pit of fiery hell.."
Sage gasped as extreme heat hit him.. but as he continued walking it was cooled by a gently mist of water. The earth was moist, and moss was everywhere, creating a spongy path.
He continued walking through the dark. Suddenly, shafts of light stung into his light deprived eyes. He waked faster. He heard a muffled scream, and quickened his pace to jog.
The path seemed to twist on forever, and soon he came in contact with vines and fogish mist. He shivered a bit. 'how can this survive when its so hot?" it was true. The heat had come again, and perspiration trickled off his brow. He paused shortly to wipe it.
An even louder scream made him jump into a jog again. Suddenly, he was forced to stop. He gapped in horror at the sight. Cloud was hanging from a ceiling. It was a type of underground warehouse. "Cloud!" she didn't hear him. He looked for the source of her pain and saw. A tall man was holding flame to her arm that looked already to be broken and disconnected form the shoulder.
Cuts, gashes, dirt, bruises, and blood covered her. She was almost unrecognizable. Her clothes were torn and she looked like she had been through hell.
He fell to his knees. It was all his fault. His fault the spirit had taken over him. His fault his hand raised of its own accord, his fault he couldn't control himself until Ryo knocked the spirit out. His fault Cloud was this bad.
A tear dripped down hi cheek as his fists clenched in the mossy earth.
Then everything went black and he starred in awe as the Ancient appeared before him. His staff was clanging wildly.
"Darkness beyond Twilight. The light that flows.

She lies in the pit of fiery hell.."
That was his chant.
"But were is that!!" sage screamed as the Ancient began to vanish. A shaft of gold light hit him and he fell back. He held his head, eyes wide. "I know were she is. she is in the Cave of Sirens."
~..~
Sage snapped awake. No longer was he in the hellish place of torment, nor the eerie black void. He was on his rock, were he had started. He jumped up. "no time to lose!" he took off towards the mansion.
**
The door opened with such clatter it made him jump. Sage was panting. 'I know were she is!"
"WHERE!!??"
"In the Cave of Sirens!"
**
The trip there was silent, and Mia drove fast, very fast. She was told to stay inside the car though while they went inside.
The journey inside was just as Sage had foreseen. It was haunting how the heat turned to misty water, and the earth was overgrown with moss.
They walked through the dark until they hit light, and then the screams. Ryo's anger flared and he took off at a dead run, his sub armor making him faster than a normal human. The same went for everyone else.
This time the vines had blood red flowers that seemed to sing of death. They seemed to mock them hissing 'Too late Too late little boys toooo late'
But they paid these flowers no heed, and instead of stopping at the entrance to the warehouse, they barged right in. Blood met their feet, and Kayo removed his blade form Cloud's wound with a sickening wet sound. He smirked and licked off the blood, his tongue not getting cut. "I thought you'd be here,"
"Cloud.." Ryo murmured. His eyes narrowed.
"Greetings wildfire, I am Kayo. welcome to my hell," he laughed cruelly. Ryo's body shook with rage, pure unaltered rage. His friends stepped back, knowing what exactly was happening. Soon Ryo was clad in armor. "You. filthy snake.." his tone was deadly, and he made no move to hide his malice as he slowly removed his twin blades. They radiated as much heat as his armor.
Yet through all this, Kayo just smirked. "Go on.. fire your sure kill and kill the girl too," Ryo's teeth clenched and he charged, locking blades with Kayo. He turned him and pushed him away. He sent his sure kill at him, sending the demon into the wall.
"Who said I was to be the one to kill you," he grinned before adding. "Welcome to MY hell." several other sure kills slammed into the demon as he screamed. But Ryo paid no attention to that. He just changed back to his sub armor. He ran up to Cloud. "Cloud?!" he asked, urgency in his voice. He was answered by a muffled sob.
"let me help you," Kento said, coming behind him, he too was clad in his sub armor.
So Ryo took Cloud gently in his arms, trying not to hurt much more while Kento quickly cut the chains, allowing Ryo to lower Cloud to the ground were he gently tore the shackles off and lowered her arm, creating another heart wrenching sob. Ryo felt tears rush to his eyes. He gently took off the duck tape, soiled by blood. Her lips were chapped. Her eyes were squeezed shut.
"Here, lets get her in the blanket," Cye said softly. He and Sage set out a blanket, and Ryo gently placed her broken body on it. She managed to open her eyes and look at Sage.
"I know you.. don't.like.me.. b-but.. we.. c-can. w-we.still b-be f-f- friends?" and she passed out.
