"Come on Lee, where are you? Give me some kind of sign would ya." Kaye thought as she ran. A loud scream of pain could be heard not too far away.
"Lee!" Kaye said as she ran where the scream came from. Just as she turned the corner, Kaye saw that Lee was trying to fight off against someone.
"Come on lady, haven't you heard of a fair fight?" Lee asked as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Lieah! Cye, Ryo come in!" Kaye said urgently.
"Kaye, where are you? Did you find Lee?" Cye asked.
"Yea I found him, you two better get over here and fast." Kaye replied.
"Why? What's going on?" Ryo asked.
"Lee's fighting with Lieah, and it looks like..." Kaye replied as their communication was cut off.
"Kaye! Kaye come in! Dammit! You just had to suggest that we split up, didn't you Ryo." Cye said as they quickly changed directions.
Meanwhile...
"Well, look who dropped in for a visit. It's good to see you again." Lieah said as she approached Kaye.
"It's too bad that I can't say the same thing. Now let the boy go, he has nothing to do with this." Kaye replied as she kept her eyes on her.
"I don't think so. You have two options, one you could fight me, or two you could just give up." Lieah said as she stopped a few feet away.
"Dammit, that's not much of a choice. I can't take the chance to transform into my armor, especially since Lee's here. She knew what she was doing this entire time, it was just a trick. Oh great, I should have listened to Cye when he warned me. But did I? No, I had to be stubborn about it." Kaye thought angrily.
"Well, we don't have all day. What is your decision, or better yet I'll make it for you." Lieah said as she took aim at Lee.
"No, don't! you win." Kaye said in defeat.
"You hero types are all the same. So predictable, I knew that you would give yourself up to me. All I needed was the right motivation. Now, get over there by the boy." Lieah replied with an evil grin.
Kaye glared at her while she was walking over to Lee. "Hey, are you all right?" Kaye asked as she finally got to him.
"Yea I'm fine. You actually came out here to find me?" Lee replied as he glanced at her.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Kaye asked as she glanced back.
"Kaye, I'm sorry about this." Lee said as he began to back away from her.
"Sorry about what?" Kaye asked in confusion.
"I'm surprised Kaye, I didn't think that you would be so easy to fool." Lee replied as he began to glow.
"Lee, What are you talking about?" Kaye asked.
"I'm not Lee." Alex replied as he changed back to his true form.
"The phone call, the two people waiting at the center. The fight that was the two of you?" Kaye asked wide-eyed.
"You got it! I just wanted to get you alone so we can talk." Lieah said as she looked at her.
"Talk? Yea right, Kento and the others warned me about you." Kaye replied as she glared at them.
"Oh really, and what did they have to say?" Lieah asked mockingly.
"They said that you'd do anything to get what you want. No matter what it takes? What do you want?" Kaye replied.
"What do I want? Are you serious? You know exactly what I want. I want Kento back, he's was mine and he always will be." Lieah said.
"Kento wasn't yours then, and he will never be yours now or ever! Armor of the Tiger..." Kaye replied as she tried to transform into her armor, but before she could fully transform, she was struck from behind.
"Well done Alex. I didn't think that you still had it in you." Lieah said as she stepped over Kaye's body.
"What did you expect? We better get out of here, I sense that the other two are close by." Alex replied.
"You're right, but not before I do one final thing." Lieah said as she snapped her fingers and then the building caught on fire.
"Ryo!" Cye said as they rounded the corner, and saw that Lieah and Alex were disappearing from the burning building.
"I don't see Kaye anywhere, she must still be inside. Cye, I'm gonna need you to stay out here and try to put out the fire, while I go inside and see if she's in there." Ryo said as they transformed into their armors. As Cye was doing damage control, Ryo charged into the burning building and started his search.
"Kaye, where are you?" Ryo yelled.
"Ryo? Ryo!" Kaye yelled back as she was coughing from the smoke.
"Kaye, hold on I'm coming." Ryo yelled as he made his way to her.
"Hurry!" Kaye yelled back. Ryo finally got to where she was laying on the ground.
"Can you move?" Ryo asked.
"No, I think that my legs are pinned." Kaye replied.
"It looks like you're going to need some help with that." Cye said as he suddenly appeared next to him.
"Cye, I thought that I told you to try and put out the fire?" Ryo asked.
"I did the best that I could, now unless you want to be buried alive in a burning building. I would suggest that you stop arguing and help me get this off of her. Ryo looked over at Cye in shock, but then he quickly got over it and helped him lift the beam. Just as Kaye was cleared from under it, they let go, picked her up and quickly got out of the burning building just before it caved in.
"Sirens, I think that we better get out of our armors before they show up." Ryo said as he and Cye called them back.
"Kaye, are you all right? Kaye? Ryo, she's not responding!" Cye said in concern.
Before Ryo could speak, fire trucks and an ambulance pulled up. "Did you two see who started this fire?" the fire chief asked as the other fire fighters were trying to put it out.
Ryo and Cye looked at each other, and then back to the fire chief and nodded their heads. They knew if they said whom, then they might have been locked away in a loony bin. "We need a medic over here!" the fire chief yelled towards the ambulance. The medics quickly ran over to where Ryo and Cye were holding Kaye. They motioned them to lay her down onto the stretcher. Then the medics started CPR.
"We got a pulse. Ok get her into the ambulance!" the medic said as they lifted her up and put her inside.
"We're coming with you." Cye said with a determined look.
"We only have room enough for one of you. But the other one can follow us to the hospital." the medic said as he was about to leave.
"I'll go with them, Cye you take Kaye's car. Call the others and have them meet us there." Ryo said as he climbed into the back. Cye ran quickly to her car, started it up and followed them. While he was driving, he made a call to the mansion.
"Come on pick up!" Cye thought as he was driving.
"Hello..?" Rowen said as he answered the phone.
"Rowen, there's been an accident. Get the others and meet us at the hospital." Cye said before he hung up the phone.
"Rowen, what's wrong?" Sage asked when he noticed the look on his face.
"Cye just called, there was an accident. They're on the way to the hospital. He wants us to meet them there." Rowen replied as he hung up the phone.
"An accident! Who's hurt, is it Kaye?" Kento asked urgently.
"He didn't say." Rowen replied.
"Then why are we still here? Let's go already!" Kento said as he was almost out the door.
"Kaye, please be all right." Kento thought as they were on their way.
About twenty minutes later...
"Cye, where are Ryo and Kaye?" Mia asked as they ran into the waiting room.
"Kaye's in recovery, I think that Ryo is with her." Cye replied.
"Recovery? Cye what happened?" Kento asked in concern. Cye looked around, and then he motioned them to follow him.
"Get inside, then we'll tell you everything." Cye replied as he opened the door. They walked into the room, and saw that Ryo was holding onto Kaye's hand and talking quietly under his breath.
"Ryo, what happened? Why is she in a hospital bed? Did Lieah do this?" Sage asked.
"I think so." Ryo replied as he kept his head down.
"You think so? Is that all you can say Ryo? You and Cye were supposed to watch over her! How could you let this happen?" Kento asked angrily as he picked up Ryo by the shirt collar and held him against the wall.
"Kento...put him down." Kaye said quietly as she slowly turned her head towards them.
Kento slowly lowered Ryo down from the wall and let him go. "All right, everybody just calm down, especially you Kento, and listen to what we have to say." Cye said as he explained what happened.
Just as Cye was done explaining, one of the doctors came in. "Oh, I didn't know that the patient has more visitors. And it looks like she's finally awake, that's a good sign. Well, since you're all here, then I suppose that I can tell you the good news. It looks like that your friend here can go home. The amount of smoke that was taken in didn't do that much damage. Also, she's very lucky that she doesn't have broken legs, she's just going to be sore and bruised for a while, considering how much weight that beam was putting on her." the doctor said as he looked over her chart and then left the room.
Kento looked over at her with relief, and then his expression quickly changed. Kaye knew what this meant. "Don't say it Kento." Kaye said sternly.
"But Kaye..." Kento replied.
"No." Kaye said.
"We, I told...warned you about Lieah. You shouldn't have..." Kento replied.
"Kento, this isn't the time or place to get into it again. Please." Kaye said as she grabbed onto his hand.
"Kaye, do you have any idea of what went through my mind when Rowen got Cye's phone call? Do you have any idea how I felt?" Kento asked as he grabbed onto her hands.
"I know, and I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do. There was only one thing on my mind at the time. I had to find Lee, but after I found out that it was all a set up, I..." Kaye replied as she shut her eyes and turned away.
Kento let go of her hands and stood up. "What? She wouldn't, not here." Kento thought as he left the room.
"Kento, where are you going?" Ryo asked as he ran after him.
"It's Lieah, she's here." Kento replied as he quickly walked through the halls.
"Are you sure? Maybe we should..." Ryo said as he was trying to keep up with him.
"I'm sure, and no we don't have time to get the others. She might try to attack Kaye again, we have to stop her from trying. Besides, Kaye is safer with the others in her room." Kento replied as they finally made it outside.
"Hello lover, I was wondering what it would take to get your attention." Lieah said as she was standing by a tree.
"You bitch! You're gonna pay for what you did, and another thing stop calling me lover! I never have been and I never will be." Kento replied angrily.
"Funny, that's pretty much what she said, just before her accident." Lieah said with an evil grin.
In Kaye's room, "I don't like it, they've been gone for way too long." Rowen said as he was leaning back against the wall.
"Then what are we doing waiting here? Let's go and look for them." Kaye replied as she came out of the bathroom with a new change of clothes.
"Whoa Kaye, you're not going anywhere. We'll go and look around, you're staying here." Sage said sternly.
"The doc said that I'm fine. So there's no reason why I can't help you find them. Besides, if you leave me here, then I'm just going to sneak out and find them on my own. You know that I will." Kaye replied with that determined look of hers.
"All right, you win but make sure that you stay close ok." Cye said as they left the room.
"No problem Cye." Kaye replied with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Lee!" Kaye said as she ran where the scream came from. Just as she turned the corner, Kaye saw that Lee was trying to fight off against someone.
"Come on lady, haven't you heard of a fair fight?" Lee asked as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Lieah! Cye, Ryo come in!" Kaye said urgently.
