Delicious Torment
Ch 10
"Sian, we know that you want to help, but saying that you might know to get to the Dynasty..."
Ryo said as he walked over to him.
"It's true, I know how to get there! Why don't you believe me?" Sian asked with a hint of anger.
"It's not that we don't believe you, it's just that you didn't actually know that the Dynasty existed until we told you." Cye explained.
"I think that it would be wise for you to listen to them." a female voice said from behind them.
"Kayura," Rowen replied as she finally joined them. "What are you doing here?"
"Somehow Talpa has resurrected Anubis and restored his armor back to him." Kayura explained.
"Yea, well I have news for ya, you're a little too late with that bit of information." Kento said in annoyance.
"Who's the kid?" Kayura asked curiously.
"Hey, watch it lady, I'm not a kid. For your information, my name is Sian." Sian replied in a huff.
"We need to get into the Dynasty, do you think that you can help us?" Sage asked.
"Why do you need to gain access to the Dynasty?" Kayura asked back.
"For some reason, Dais took Kaye back to the Dynasty with him and the other warlords." Ryo replied.
"I see." Kayura said as she went into deep thought.
"Well, are you going to help us out or not?" Sian asked as his anger rose.
"I'll take you to the Dynasty, but that's all that my power will be able to do, but once there, you're on your own." Kayura replied.
"Figures, it's not like we haven't heard that before." Kento said, as he was still annoyed.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go already, were wasting time standing here." Sian replied anxiously.
"We are going, but you are staying here." Ryo said sternly.
"What! No way, come on uncle Ryo, I'm coming with you!" Sian replied.
"Sian, it's too dangerous for someone like you. You're not going and that's the end of it." Sage said as he stared him down.
"What do you mean, when you say, by someone like me? Just because I don't have armor like you and everyone else, then I can't go. You know that I can fight just as well as any of you, or better. Besides, I don't think that it matters if I have armor or not. Kaye has mystical armor, and look where it got her." Sian shot back.
"Sian!" Kento yelled as he stared angrily at him.
"What," Sian asked as he looked straight at Kento. Sian's expression suddenly changed as he saw the different mix of emotions that were showing in Kento's eyes. "Alright, fine, I'll stay here."
"You do understand why you have to stay here, don't you?" Cye asked.
"Yea, I understand." Sian replied in a defeated tone.
"If you're all done bickering, then I would suggest that we get going. We don't have much time." Kayura said as she was starting to get impatient.
"We're ready, alright Sian, make sure that you watch your back while were gone." Ryo said, as they were about to leave. Sian nodded, and then watched as they suddenly disappeared.
Just as Sian was about to leave, a black limo pulled out in front of him. The back window was being rolled down, and then the person in the back motioned Sian to come closer. "What do you want?" Sian asked in annoyance as he got a closer look at who was calling him over.
"Get in, Jakobe wants to talk with you." Dante replied as he moved over so Sian could get in. As soon as Sian got in, the driver took off.
They drove in silence for what seemed like twenty minutes until, "so, how long have you been there?" Sian asked in annoyance as he stared out the window.
"I have no idea what you mean." Dante replied.
"Don't play dumb with me, I know that you were there, I saw you." Sian said as he kept his gaze at the window.
"So what if I was? It doesn't change anything." Dante replied.
"Then you knew what Dais had planned, didn't you?" Sian asked as he shifted his gaze from the window and straight at Dante.
In Talpa's castle...
"Why did you bring me here?" Kaye asked, as Dais was looking her over while circling.
"Are you sure that you want an answer to that question," Dais asked back as a smile came upon his lips that made shivers go up and down Kaye's spine. "All you have to do is use your imagination, and you'll have your answer. For now, count yourself lucky, because I have an appointment to keep, but don't you worry, I'll be back soon enough."
In a different part of the Dynasty...
"Man, I feel like I've been cooked in a microwave, hot on the outside, and cold on the inside." Kento said as they finally made it.
"Stop your complaining, I got us here didn't I, like I said before, now you're on your own." Kayura replied as she started to disappear.
"Hey wait, you didn't tell us how we could get back!" Rowen said as he called out to her.
"Forget it, Rowen, she's gone," Sage replied in annoyance. "So, does anyone have a clue on how we're going to get inside Talpa's castle?"
"Maybe we can be of some assistance," someone said from behind.
"Sekhmet!" Cye replied as they turned around and found themselves facing the three warlords, and a bunch of Dynasty soldiers.
Back in Toyama...
"Jakobe, where are your two associates? They're late." Dais asked as he was starting to get impatient.
"They'll be here soon, ah here they come now." Jakobe replied as Dante and Sian were walking over to them.
"You! Why did you take Kaye to the Dynasty?" Sian asked angrily as he was about to charge at him.
"Calm down, Sian, I'm sure that lord Dais has an explanation for his recent actions. Don't you, my lord?" Jakobe asked as he glanced over at him.
"I have my reasons." Dais replied coldly.
"That's not an answer!" Sian shot back.
"Silence!" Jakobe ordered as he glared at Sian.
"How dare you try to silence me? The only reason that I've agreed to work with you is because you promised me that I could get my revenge!" Sian replied as he glared back.
"And you will my boy. You just have to be patient..." Dante said with a smug look on his face.
"Be patient? How can you sit there with that smug look on your face, and tell me to be patient?
Don't you realize that what he did, made the whole mission go down the drain?!" Sian asked in disbelief.
"Your mission is not, how you say, down the drain. I've only made it easier for you by capturing the woman. All we have to do is wait, they'll come for her sooner or later," Dais replied with a cruel smile, and then he turned around and made a portal appear out of nowhere, and looked back before entering. "Are you coming or not?"
Sian nodded his head, and then followed. As they passed through, the portal closed behind them, leaving no sign that they were even there.
Back with the Ronins…
"Where is he? Dais, you coward, come out and fight me!" Kento yelled as he elbowed a Dynasty solider in the face and got ready for the next one.
"You shouldn't be worried about Dais, you should be more concerned about us instead," Anubis replied as he jumped into the air. "Quake with fear!"
"Kento, watch out!" Ryo warned. But Ryo's warning came too late, because as soon as Anubis's sure-kill made contact, the whole ground beneath their feet shook and broke apart, making the Ronins fly off into different directions.
