Back inside of the mansion...
"I don't like this; they've been gone way too long." Sage said as he was going for the back door.
"Sage, where are you going?" Mia asked as she looked over at him.
"Where does it look like? I'm going out to look for them." Sage replied as he took a quick look back.
"Sage wait, we'll come with you." Ryo said as he and Rowen stood up and joined him.
Back at the lake...
"What is she talking about? What energy merges? I did feel someone's presence when I was in my astral form. Could she be right, was it...Cye?" Kaye wondered as she glanced over to him.
"Well, what's your answer? I don't have all day you know." Lieah asked, as she was getting impatient. "Are you two going to merge your energies or not?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I still don't know what you're talking about. So I would suggest that you leave." Cye warned, as he got ready to go on the offensive.
"This is rich! You think that you'll be able to fight me, especially when I'm not really there?
All you'll be doing is striking at my image, but if you think that it'll do you any good to
fight, then by all means, go ahead and try." Lieah taunted as she laughed.
That right there, pretty much sent Cye over the edge. So he charged at the water full speed with his yari ready to strike. "CYE!" Kaye yelled as he dived into the water while going through her image.
"Wha..?" Rowen asked in surprise as he suddenly stopped.
"Rowen what is it?" Ryo asked as he looked back.
"Didn't you hear something just now? Like someone yelling?" Rowen replied.
"You don't think..." Sage said as he looked at them in concern.
"Yea I do, come on we don't have any time to waste!" Ryo said as they took off in a dead sprint towards the lake. As they came closer, they could see that someone in black and silver sub armor was fighting off some soldiers, while someone else in light blue armor was fighting beneath the lake.
"Kaye, move! Arrow shock wave!" Rowen yelled as he released his sure-kill. Hearing Rowen's warning, Kaye quickly jumped up to the nearest tree branch, and pulled herself out of the way of his arrow before it struck dead center of one of the soldiers.
"Hey, it's about time that you guys showed up. What took ya?" Kaye asked as she stayed up in the tree.
"We, actually Sage had a feeling that something was wrong, so he wanted to come out and look for you two." Ryo replied with a smirk.
"Aw, Sage was actually worried for once. I'm impressed." Kaye teased.
"Humph whatever, as fun as this is, I think that Cye is going to need a hand." Sage replied, as he got ready to dive in.
Just as he was going to dive in, "Super wave smasher!" Cye yelled out when he rode his sure-kill back up to the surface.
"Cye, are you all right?" Ryo asked as they ran up to him.
"Yea I'm fine Ryo; they didn't even stand a chance against me." Cye replied with a grin.
"Hey Cye, that looked like a sweet ride, mind if I go with ya the next time you decide to do that?" Kaye asked as she jumped down from the tree.
"You two mind telling us what just happened?" Rowen asked as he looked at the two for an explanation.
"Well after the 'relieving the pent up stress moment,' I came out starting to just want to calm down and get my thoughts together. But then I saw Cye over here, and then we started talking for
a little while. Then suddenly Lieah's image appeared in the water." Kaye started to explain.
"Lieah! What did she want?" Ryo asked with a hint of anger.
"She said that she wanted to talk about me." Cye replied as he looked at him.
"You? What does she want with you, Cye?" Sage asked in confusion. Cye gave a quick glance over to Kaye; she gave a nod, telling him to go ahead. As Cye and Kaye took turns explaining what happened, the others were getting mix feelings of anger and confusion.
"And then you guys came." Kaye finished. "But that leaves me with a question, what did Lieah mean by tomorrow is the anniversary of her being imprisoned? She seemed kind of surprised when I asked her what she was talking about. So who's going to fill me in on the whole story?"
"Kaye, we thought that since Lieah was imprisoned that she would never return, and then..." Rowen said as he looked over to her with concern.
"And then what Rowen? Then I wouldn't have to find out about her, is that what you meant? I can't believe that you guys would keep something like this from me!" Kaye replied as she was trying to keep her temper in check.
"It's not that simple." Ryo said with a frown.
"Ryo, nothing is ever that simple. I'm surprised at you guys. How long have we known each other, a few years, and it never once, not once crossed your mind to talk to me about this?
Especially since Kento and I are together." Kaye replied as she clutched her hands into fists.
"Kaye..." Cye said as he looked at her in concern.
"Cye, please, don't." Kaye replied quietly.
"Where are they? They know that I worry about them when they rush out like that." Mia thought as she was searching.
"There you are! Is everyone all right?" Mia asked as she ran up to them.
"Yea Mia we're fine. Listen, I'm going inside to wash up and then I'll help ya with dinner ok."
Kaye replied as she started towards the mansion.
Meanwhile...
"Kaye..." Kento said quietly as he felt his heart sink.
"Aw is your poor precious one heart broken?" Lieah teased as she laughed.
"Shut up!" Kento yelled at her as he turned around and looked at her with pure anger in his eyes.
"Don't you worry lover, you'll be reunited with her and your friends soon enough." Lieah replied with an evil grin.
"Lieah, Lieah!" Alex yelled as he ran down the stairs looking for his sister.
"What is it Alex, can't you see that I'm busy?" Lieah asked in annoyance.
"Sorry, but you told me to come and get you when it's ready." Alex replied as he held up his hands in defense.
"When what's ready? What's that psycho brother of yours talking about?" Kento wondered out loud.
"Unfortunately, that's not for you to know just yet." Lieah replied as she turned and faced him.
Back at the mansion...
"Ok now that I've had some time to think, I guess that they did know what they were doing by not telling me about her. But still, it wasn't right for them to do that. I can't let my anger control my actions, if that happens then I'm so screwed. Well, I suppose that I better hurry and get downstairs and help Mia like I said I would." Kaye thought as she was making her way downstairs.
"What do you think that Lieah will have planned when she and her brother come tomorrow?" Cye asked as he looked around at them.
"Anything is possible, especially with those two." Sage replied as he leaned back against the wall.
"Yea, I suppose you're right. But do you think that she will keep her word, and bring Kento with them?" Cye asked as he looked back to Sage.
"She'll keep her word; she will bring Kento here when they come tomorrow." Kaye replied as she finally made it to the main floor.
"Kaye..." Ryo said as they quickly stood up.
"About what happened at the lake..." Rowen started to say.
Kaye shook her head, "I had time to think about what you guys said, and I understand why you guys didn't tell me, but that's not the issue, right now we have to figure out what those two have planned." Kaye replied with a determined look in her eyes that they knew all too well.
"Are you sure that everything is set for tomorrow, Alex?" Lieah asked as she glanced over at her brother.
"Yea, everything is ready. I don't see why you're being cautious all of the sudden. I mean it's not like everything is just going to blow up in our faces." Alex replied as he rolled his eyes.
"It's very important that everything goes as clock work. Otherwise, if it doesn't I won't be the only one that'll pay the ultimate price. If you know what I mean." Lieah shot back as she hit him on the back of the head.
"I know what you mean. Sheesh, relax already, nothing is going to go wrong." Alex replied as he was rubbing the back of his head.
"You better hope not. Now leave me, I have a few more things to do before tomorrow's arrival."
Lieah said as she turned her back on him.
"You better hope not...bitch." Alex replied under his breath.
"What was that?" Lieah asked in an icy tone.
"Nothing." Alex replied as he left the room.
"It's too bad that my so called little brother doesn't realize that after tomorrow's affairs are
taken care of. That he will play out his very last role, ever." Lieah said as she started to laugh, not noticing that Alex wasn't too far away.
"Last role ever huh. We'll see about that!" Alex said angrily as he vanished.
"I don't like this; they've been gone way too long." Sage said as he was going for the back door.
"Sage, where are you going?" Mia asked as she looked over at him.
"Where does it look like? I'm going out to look for them." Sage replied as he took a quick look back.
