Chapter 3
When she came around Hope felt her head pounding, she was staring up at the sky over
head in the middle of Tomaya but then she noticed something: she was in sub armor!
*Impossible.* Hope thought to herself. "What is going on here? One moment, I'm at the
edge of the woods, and the next, I'm in the middle of Toyoma! What's going on here?!"
She muttered to herself.
Suddenly Hope noticed that Tomaya looked different, darker and in decay. "What in the
name of the mortal world?" She asked but a familiar voice. "Snake Fang Strike!" "Uncle
Seckmeht? What's he doing here?" Hope asked as she headed toward the sound of the
sure kill but she had a sick feeling to her stomach, like something was warning her from
going there.
What she saw made Hope feel horrified and sick, she saw soldiers rounding up people
and Seckmeht was attacking Cye! "Give up Ronin rodent, you can't survive long!"
Seckmeht taunted. Hope was seriously confused. *But that hasn't happened since ... the
Dynasty Wars! Have I somehow traveled back in time?* Hope wondered to herself but
made sure that she wasn't seen.
But then she saw Seckmeht use his sure kill on Cye again, the Ronin of Torrent was
throw back into a building wall and fell, stunned by the force of the attack. "Good
Seckmeht." Cale said appearing on the scene. "Pitiful, he was so easy to defeat."
Seckmeht hissed and Hope knew he would kill Cye.
*I got to help him!* Hope thought to herself. *If I can go to sub armor then maybe I can
go to full.* She thought to herself. "Armor of Cruelty!" Hope called to arm and
disappeared in a flash of light then reappeared in full battle armor. *It worked!* She
cheered mentally.
"Anubis what are you doing?" Seckmeht asked as Hope jumped in his way, getting
between him and Cye. *Anub .... the armor! They think I'm Anubis! Well maybe it will
work.* She thought and deepen her voice. "I have orders from the master to kill Torrent.
Go, both of you." Hope ordered for all the world sounding just like Anubis. "He is mine
Anubis." Seckmeht hissed. "Do you wish to explain it to our master?" 'Anubis' asked
harshly.
"No. We have no desire to disobey Master Talpa." said Cale, as he and Seckmeht left
Cye. Hope was about to sigh with relief but then .... "What's this?" An all too familiar
male voice asked, Hope turned white seeing and hearing Anubis! "Anubis?! But then
who?" Cale asked. "Cye run!" Hope ordered as she jerked Cye up to his feet.
And run the two of them did! Hope wasn't sure if the Warlords was too shocked to see
another bearer of Cruelty or what but they didn't follow her and Cye and she was grateful.
*This is getting weirder and werider!* Hope thought.
