Chapter 12: The contorl ends here

The Ronins looked at Mona as she tries to contorl her temper. "I'm not Anubis." She repeated herself, her voice showing her strain aganist letting them have it. "Well your attiude reminds us of Anubis." retorted Kento. "Stop comparing me to him! He is dead! I'm not him and I can never be him!" Mona snapped.

"Then why do you keep getting so upset when his name is mentioned?" asked Sage. Mona stopped, why was she so upset? She shook her head. "That doesn't matter." She retorted. "It DOES matter!" Snapped Ryo. "Anubis was a person who we respected, and when someone starts acting like him, we get curious." He stated, Mona looked at Ryo with fire in his eyes. "I never knew Anubis so how can I act like him?" She hissed.

"You may never have know him, but you sure do act like him babe, heck you even look like him in a way!" said Kento, giving her a quick look. "For the love of the mortal world! I'm not Anubis! I just bear his armor!" Mona shouted but then suddenly she felt like someone punched her hard in the stomach frocing her to one knee as the air was knocked out of her and pain ripped right thourgh her. "Mona?" Dais asked seeing Mona go to one knee fast. "What is it?" He asked.

Mona just groaned in pain, something was wrong, very wrong. It was like something was trying to tear at her from the inside, from her very soul. Soul, my soul is loyalty. The armor! Mona thought. "The armor." She said to the others. "What?" Kento asked. "The armor, it is doing something to her, trying to contorl her!" Kayura said realizing what Mona meant.

"Mona, remember who you are. Don't let the armor control you!" Rowen said. "Easy said then done and you aren't helping in the matter." Mona snapped but she was already trying to contorl her breathing, she had to calm down to think clearly and stop what was going on or she was going to hyperventelate and pass out. "Might I suggest that you try to sit down, and meditate. That might make things easier to handle." said Sage, as he carefully moved toward her.

Mona nodded giving her premission, Sage helped calm her breathing and begin the meditation. As she did so, Mona could feel the pain starting to ease, she contreced on her breathing and felt something, like a sixth sense wraning her to not move as the pain left her competly and she knew the armor's contorl was over.

"The armor is stuble in it's contorl, but knowing who you are helps breaks it's contorl." Mona kept her eyes closed, she wasn't sure if the voice she heard was her imagation or real but she questioned it. "Why did the armor not affect Kayura Anubis? Because she is of the Ancient clan?" She asked qiuetly to the first bearer of the Cruelty armor but the others also heard her.
"Then perhaps Mona too is of the Ancient's lineage." Suggested Rowen, as he powered down to his street colthes.

"No, something else. There was a reason the armor was contorling me. That why I kept paincing each time you meation Anubis and why I would act like him at times. The armor was contorling me. It was stuble contorl since he aad I share some chararistes but there still was contorl from the armor." Mona said to him coming out of the meditated trance.

"Then perhaps she is related somehow to Anubis." suggested Cye. "But there is no way she can be related." Dais said. "Why?" Kento asked. "The last person that was related to Anubis was named Hope. She died before the Dynasty Wars." Mona gasped softly, her face showing shock. "What is it?" Ryo asked. "Ryo, Hope is my real name. I'm Hope Shigwatsu." Mona said. Cale, Dais and Seckmeht all looked at her at the same times, their faces showing shock and disbelief.
