After going back to the castle and grabbing the box containing the other crystals they went to the place where the other Ronins were lying on the ground. Ryo held out the crystals to Sakura and looked expectantly. Sakura took the crystals and threw them with force on the ground. The first crystal shattered and there was a flash of light blue light and Cye was back. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"Well, that was something new." He said.

Next was Sage, Anubis, Cale, Rowen, and so on down the line. Last was Kento.

"Whoa, what a ride." He said groggily holding his head. "You know, those crystals are a lot smaller than they look."

Everyone laughed.

"Here Sakura," Alanna said. Alanna had decided to accompany Ryo and her to see if she could help the others in any way.  She held out the box that Aria had kept the other filled crystals in.

"These are all the people that she has ever taken the soul of. You're the only other one with magic, so you have to break the crystal for them to be freed." Alanna said.

Sakura took the box and opened it.

"Those are a lot of people." Sakura said shocked.

"Well, ya better get crackin'" Kento joked. The others laughed as Sakura got to work. It took them a while, but eventually everyone had been set free of their imprisonment. The group started heading back toward the house, Ryo staying close by Sakura's side. Once back at Mia's house everyone gathered in the living room to talk about all that had happened.

"So who exactly is this Aria girl?" Cale asked.

"I can answer that." Sage broke in. "A long time ago, Ryo met a girl named Aria. She was really pretty."

Sakura folded her hands across her chest with a jealous look.

"She and Ryo had a serious thing going on for a long time. Everyone thought that they were going to get married one day, especially Aria. Then one day Ryo broke up with her. Aria threw the biggest tantrum I have ever seen. She threw a chair out the window she was so mad. She swore that she'd get revenge on Ryo for breaking her heart. Then she just disappeared one day and no one ever saw her again. Well, till now." He finished.

"So why did you break up with her Ryo?" Anubis asked.

"Well, I didn't like her the way that she liked me. I had intended to break up with her sooner, but I kept procrastinating and then she starting assuming that things were getting really serious so eventually I just told her. I couldn't take it anymore. She was just too different from me. We fought a lot of the time that we were together and I knew that I'd never be able to marry her, I just didn't love her." Ryo explained.

"Yeah, that and he was already obsessed with Sakura." Sage smirked.

Ryo blushed and put his arm around Sakura. "Can you blame me?" he asked looking at her. Sakura blushed as she leaned into his embrace.

"So how did you beat her? I mean she did have Sakura under her control and we all know she's an awesome fighter." Dais asked curious.

"Well, that's the funny thing; it was because we had the Armor of the Inferno." Sakura said.

"But how did you form the Armor of the Inferno without us being there?" Rowen questioned.

"I think it's because in a way we were there." Anubis answered.

"What?" The group questioned.

"We were trapped inside the crystals and Aria was holding the crystals in her hand so technically we were there." Anubis said.

"He's got a point." Cye agreed.

"It's because of Ryo's love." A familiar voice answered.

"Ancient!" The group said stunned at his sudden appearance.

"Yes, Ryo wanted to save Sakura so much that he inadvertently called on the power of the Armor of the Inferno to help him free her. It is because of Ryo's love for her that he was able to call the Inferno." Ancient explained.

"But I thought that there had to be at least four of us present for Ryo to use the armor." Sage said.

"But there are exceptions to every rule." Ancient said with a knowing smile before disappearing the way he always did.

"I just want you guys to know, that I am really sorry for everything that my aunt has done to you guys." Alanna said quietly. Alanna had followed them home and was sitting on the couch next to Sage who looked quite happy at the seating arrangement.

"Don't sweat it." Sage answered. "It's not your fault and we don't hold you accountable, and if you need a place to stay, you're welcome to live here with us."

"That would be wonderful." Alanna answered happily. Every one then excused themselves and headed off in different directions. Ryo grabbed Sakura's hand and led her outside.

"Ryo, where are we going?" she asked as she was tugged along.

"You'll see," he answered vaguely as he dragged her along behind him.
