The Mysterious Outcasts
Chapter 7 - Reasons
By Kiela Stargaze
"Sigonia! You have failed me! One simple task, and you deliberately failed me!" Talpa's eyes flashed red with anger! "Because of those incompetent beasts you had, my plan was ruined."
"Master, I am sorry, pl-please forgive me," Sigonia showed fear through her deep dark green eyes as she bowed down lower to her master.
"Just for being so incompetent you are to report to the Nether Moat, there you shall be forgiven in time." Talpa let out a deep chuckle as creatures of the night took Sigonia's screaming figure to the Nether moat.
"I now have to make up a better plan to get those pathetic excuse of Ronins and their mistresses." Talpa laughed, "And I know just how to get it." evil laughter penetrated from the silence as the candles burned out of their plight to stay afloat.
"Man I feel like just sleeping for a decade." Kento complained as Cye and he went look for Ryo and the others. As Kento went on complaining, Cye noticed a figure lying on its back. He gasped as he realized who it was.
"Oh my gosh, Renée?" Cye said as he ran up to the body. Kento finally stopped complaining to himself and ran along Cye to Renée's body.
"Poor thing, must have been terrible, but where is Ryo, Ja'Dee and the others."
"I don't know Kento, but we need to head back to the house and get her some medical attention."
"Right, Cye," agreed Kento as he gently picked Renée up and followed Cye to the mansion.
Elsewhere, Ryo and Rowen watched as Sage started to heal Ja'Dee's wound. They had already detransformed to their regular clothes. As they were watching, Ryo's mind began to have all kind of questions enter his mind to why the dynasty was back. Did that mean Talpa was back? But who was that person who attacked them and what did they want with Ja'Dee and Renée? All these thought ran through his mind as Sage finished healing Ja'Dee
"Will she be alright?" Rowen asked with a concerned expression.
"The wound was very deep so I don't know," answered Sage, "I've done that best I can. For now, it's up to her to survive. We better get on to the house before she gets any worse."
"You're right," Ryo said as he bent down and gently picked her up. "Let's go."
They went got back to the house about twenty minutes later, careful not to damage Ja'Dee anymore than she was.
Sage opened the door to the house, Ryo and Rowen following behind.
"Ryo!" Mia yelled as she ran up to him, "Oh no, not her too! What happened?"
"What do you mean her too?" Rowen asked.
"Kento and Cye are in the other room with Renée." Mia answered, getting more questionable looks from the three tired-looking guys. "I'll answer questions later after we get Ja'Dee some medical treatment." Mia led the guys toward the upstairs and told them to put Ja'Dee in Ryo's room. Ryo didn't hesitate a moment and placed Ja'Dee on his bed. He saw that Cye and Kento had came into the room after hearing the commotion from downstairs.
"Is Ja'Dee alright?" Kento asked a bit worried.
"She was hurt pretty badly," Sage responded, "that nasty looking creature had clawed her in the shoulder, and she passed out. I healed the wound, but it was a little too deep for it to heal completely. She'll probably be in bed for about a week at the most."
"Yeah, that was a nasty wound," Rowen uttered, "What happened to Renée?"
"We don't know," Cye said, with a concerned look set upon his face.
"We found her on the ground somewhere in the forest. We were trying to look for you guys when we stumbled across her." Kento voiced.
"Where is she at now?" Ryo asked as he leaned on the doorframe.
"She's in the guestroom with bandages. She had second degree burns on parts of her body and her clothes were ripped. It looks pretty bad, but she'll pull through." Mia answered, "Just like Sage said, she might be like Ja'Dee, bedridden for about a week at the most."
"In the meantime, we need to figure out what is going on here? Like in questioning, why did that girl, Sigonia I think her name is, and creatures attack Ja'Dee and Renée like that? And is it the work of Talpa." Ryo inquired.
"But we destroyed Talpa three years ago," Kento said, "How could he be back after all this time."
"Kento does have a point." Cye agreed looking overwhelmed at them. "I mean, after all these years, why would he come back?"
"I guess because he has another plan up his sleeves. That's all I can conjure up." Sage said leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.
"All I can say is that, if they attack again, we'll be ready for them." Kento said with a smile on his face as he balled his fist and punched it in his other hand.
"I agree with Kento, we need to train. Why don't all of you come to the dojo to train starting tomorrow and when Ja'Dee and Renée are feeling up to it, we can train them to protect themselves if we're not around to help them." Sage said.
"Right," Mia said, "And as you all train, I'll look up something on this Sigonia and to see if Talpa is a possible threat again."
"Oh and Mia," Ryo asked, as Mia was about to walk out of the room to the computer room.
"Yeah?" Mia turned and asked.
"Could you see if there is anything on other magical beings with blondish brown hair, much like Renée's hair."
"Uh, sure." Mia said with a smile as she went to the computer room.
"Hey Ryo, what's up man? Why'd you ask if she could look up on magical beings with blondish brown hair?" Kento asked.
"Because it was someone I saw who destroyed the creature that had hurt Ja'Dee. And Sage said that she also was about to battle that woman that sent those creatures, but Sigonia had backed down." Ryo answered with a frown, "And you know the weird part, I feel like I've felt that energy before."
"You mean a foreboding energy?" Rowen asked.
"No, like an aura of good and virtue, much like mine."
All the guys took this in when they felt another presence in the room. They all looked at the windowpane and saw someone very familiar.
"Sigonia! You have failed me! One simple task, and you deliberately failed me!" Talpa's eyes flashed red with anger! "Because of those incompetent beasts you had, my plan was ruined."
"Master, I am sorry, pl-please forgive me," Sigonia showed fear through her deep dark green eyes as she bowed down lower to her master.
