"Kaye, isn't there anything that we can say to change your mind?" Sage asked as he and the others watched her get ready.
"No there isn't, I'm going to do this. I have to..." Kaye replied as she sat down on the floor and set the picture in front of her.
"Since we can't talk you out of this, then what can we do to help?" Cye asked.
"If you really want to help, then make sure that nothing happens to the anchor. Because if something happens to it, then I'm not sure if I can come back." Kaye replied.
Just before Kaye got into her trance, "Kaye, watch yourself all right." Mia said as she looked over to her in concern.
"Don't worry Mia, I'll be back before you know it." Kaye replied as she threw her a reassuring smile and then closed her eyes and went into her trance.
"I don't have a good feeling about this, come back soon." Mia thought in concern.
Meanwhile...
"Whoa, I can't believe that it actually worked. Ok, where the heck am I, and how do I find out where Kento is being held?" Kaye thought as she walked down the corridor. As she continued walking, she could hear voices.
"Come on sis, you said that I could." Alex wined.
"Alex, I already told you, you can torture him later. Right now leave him alone." Lieah replied in annoyance.
"Torture him! I don't think so!" Kaye thought in anger.
"Oh all right, have it your way. But I am rather curious about something." Alex wondered as he looked at her in curiosity.
"Yes?" Lieah replied as she looked at him skeptically.
"I was wondering, if you have feelings for Kento, then why would you allow me to torture him? I thought that you would do anything to prevent me from doing so?" Alex asked.
"What feelings? Besides, this is basically revenge for him hurting me." Lieah replied as she turned her back to him.
"So then why won't you let me go and have my fun?" Alex wined.
"I said no! There's something else that I have in mind." Lieah replied as she slowly turned back around.
"Oh, really, and what dear sister would that be?" Alex asked as he was now intrigued.
"I was thinking...wait!" Lieah said.
"What?" Alex asked.
"There's someone here." Lieah replied as she began to look around.
"Oh shit, it looks like I've over stayed my welcome. I better hurry up and find Kento before they find me." Kaye thought as she spotted the stairway and ran down the stairs.
"Lieah, who's here?" Alex asked in confusion.
"I'm not sure, but the presence has disappeared, except that I can still sense a hint of it."
Lieah replied as she walked out of the room and headed for the stairs. Alex shook his head, and then followed right behind her.
"It's too dark down here. How am I suppose to find him if I can't see? Wait a minute, what am I talking about? Duh, why didn't I think about this before?" Kaye thought as she closed her eyes and tried to get a fix on Kento. After a few seconds of searching for his dream patterns, it didn't take long for her to find him. Kaye appeared right next to him; she looked down onto his sleeping form and gave a small smile.
"Kento, hey Kento wake up." Kaye coaxed as she tried to wake him. Kento frowned, and then began to slowly open his eyes.
"Kaye? No, you're not here. It's just an illusion." Kento said in disbelief as he was rubbing his eyes as he sat up.
"No Kento, I'm not an illusion. I'm here, but only in the astral way of speaking." Kaye replied with a small smile.
"Astral what? How?" Kento asked in confusion. Kaye quickly looked out the cell door and then started to explain what was going on.
"Kaye are you out of your mind? What were you thinking, taking a risk like that?" Kento asked.
"You know what, that's exactly what the others said. I told them that you're worth any risk, and
I mean...any risk." Kaye replied.
"Well, well, well isn't this sweet. I said that I would come back and visit you in a few days, and here you are doing some kind of astral projection gig. Impressive, but a bit over rated. Wouldn't you say so Alex?" Lieah asked as she and her brother appeared in front of the cell door.
"Yea, I would have to agree with ya on that one. Been there, done that. You know what though sis, it's been a while since we've actually found someone that would be foolish to even attempt something that dangerous." Alex replied with a smirk.
"I know exactly what you mean. Do you remember what happened to the last person that tried to walk while in the astral form?" Lieah asked with an evil smile.
"Was he lost forever in the astral plane, or was it something else?" Alex asked.
"I believe that it was something else. Now what do you suppose happened to him? Oh wait I know, we killed him." Lieah replied as she glared dangerously over at Kaye.
"You know Lieah, it has been a while since we've fought someone that's in astral form." Alex said as he glanced over at his sister.
"You're staying away from Kaye, do you hear me?" Kento warned as he got in front of her.
Meanwhile...
"I don't like this, she's been gone way too long. She should have been back by now." Ryo said as he was pacing the room.
"Ryo relax, I'm sure that if anything happened, Kaye would have been back by now." Sage replied as he was leaning back on the wall.
"Come on Ryo, you know that Sage is right, and besides nothing has happened to the anchor. So there's no need for you to worry." Rowen said as he tried to put him at ease.
"Yea, you're probably right." Ryo replied as he finally stopped pacing.
Just then, "guys, guys!" Mia said as she was trying to get their attention.
"Mia, what the..?" Ryo asked as he and the others stared at the anchor.
"The anchor, it's floating!" Cye said as he stood up.
"Ok, that is definitely not normal." Rowen said.
"Good observation there genius. So what are we suppose to do about it?" Sage asked. Just as Rowen was about to answer; a sudden loud gasp of breath interrupted him. They looked down and saw that Kaye was now lying on the ground.
"I told you that something was wrong!" Ryo said angrily.
"Ryo, do you mind? This isn't the time for I told you so!" Sage replied as he quickly kneeled down next to her.
Just as Sage went down, the anchor quickly dropped to the floor and shattered. Sage quickly looked from the anchor and back to Kaye. He then carefully moved his hand over her face, "she's not breathing." Sage said as he quickly looked up.
"No there isn't, I'm going to do this. I have to..." Kaye replied as she sat down on the floor and set the picture in front of her.
"Since we can't talk you out of this, then what can we do to help?" Cye asked.
"If you really want to help, then make sure that nothing happens to the anchor. Because if something happens to it, then I'm not sure if I can come back." Kaye replied.
