Chapter 3
"The Dynasty! I knew it, grab her, and don't let her get away!" Kento growled as he went for her.
"Eep!" Tigermoon said as she quickly jumped up from the floor and onto the chandelier.
"Hey, get down here!" Ryo yelled up to her.
"Forget that, there's no way that you can make me get down." Tigermoon replied as she clung onto the chandelier.
"You know what, you're probably right. We won't make you come down." Rowen said with a mischievous smile.
"You, you won't?" Tigermoon asked in surprise.
"Rowen..." Sage whispered to him in confusion.
"Sage, shh...I know what I'm doing." Rowen whispered back as he backed away from the chandelier.
"Ok blue boy, what's the deal?" Tigermoon asked suspiciously.
"There's no deal, if you don't want to come down, then you don't have to. You'll just stay up there." Rowen replied as he started to leave the room. Everyone looked around with confused looks on their faces. All of them wondering pretty much the same thing, has Rowen finally lost his mind?
"Hey, are you guys coming or what?" Rowen yelled from the kitchen. They all looked at each other, and then one by one left the room.
"Hey! You're not just going to leave me here?" Tigermoon yelled in disbelief.
"You're the one that said you won't come down." Rowen replied as she stuck his head into the room.
"Yea, well I changed my mind. Now is someone going to help me down from here?" Tigermoon asked as she was starting to get annoyed.
"Nope. You got yourself up there, so then you can get yourself down." Rowen replied as he turned around and walked back to the table.
"Oyo, when I get down from here. That blue boy is so going to get it." Tigermoon mumbled under her breath as she was looking around for a place to land. "Wait a minute, why am I doing this the hard way? All I have to do is..." Tigermoon thought as a light bulb finally went off in her head.
"Space shift, and then ta da, no more high places." Tigermoon finished as she grinned.
"What took you?" Cye asked as he tapped her onto the shoulder.
"Yipe!" Tigermoon replied as she quickly turned around and faced him. "Don't do that!"
"Now would you sit down and tell us who you are, and how you got here from the Dynasty?" Kaye asked as she gestured for her to sit down on the couch.
"Her name is Tigermoon, and I would suspect that she got here the same way as us." Kayura said as she and the warlords appeared.
"Kayura, and the warlords here?" Tigermoon thought as she quickly got behind Kaye.
"Hey, what the...What's the matter with you? Get out from behind me, would ya?" Kaye asked as she tried to move from one spot to the next, but every time that she moved, Tigermoon was right there behind her.
"We've come to tell you that something is very wrong in the Dynasty." Cale said as he glanced over at Tigermoon.
"What do you mean? I thought that since Talpa was finally defeated, that everything would go back to the way they were?" Rowen asked as he looked over at Kayura.
"For a while, everything was back to normal. But recently, for some reason the rifts and tears
between the Dynasty and your world have been acting up, and portals have been popping up everywhere. And that's not the worst of it." Kayura replied as she looked back at him.
"You mean there's more?" Kento asked skeptically.
"Isn't there always?" Sage replied in annoyance.
"Go on Kayura." Mia said as she threw them a look.
Kayura nodded and then continued, "you see, there's something wrong with the Ancient's staff."
Kayura replied as she brought the staff in front of her.
"What are you talking about? When the Ancient and Anubis had the staff, nothing went wrong, but as soon as you got possession of it, what it stop working?" Ryo asked as he looked at her in a skeptical manner.
"No Wildfire, you annoying fire ant, for some reason the staff is ice cold." Kayura shot back.
"What! No way, it can't be possible! More in likely you're probably doing something wrong.
Here, let me take a look at it." Tigermoon said as she finally got out from behind Kaye.
"How would you know anything about the Ancient's staff? You're not even of his clan." Dais replied as he stepped in front of her.
"Hey spider-boy, I don't have to be from the Ancient's clan to know how it works, so just back off." Tigermoon said as she pushed him out of the way.
"Why you, little..." Dais growled as he started to lunge for her.
"Dais!" Sekhmet said as he grabbed his arm.
"But...she, she can't get away with that! I'm a warlord!" Dais replied as he looked back at him in anger.
"Correction Dais, an ex-warlord. We're not evil any more, remember." Cale said as he walked up to him.
"Whatever." Dais replied as he threw his hands up in the air, turned around and walked over to the couch and sat down in a huff.
"Now are you going to let me take a look at it, or are we going to waste time and play guess what's wrong with the Ancient staff?" Tigermoon asked in annoyance.
"All right fine, but I doubt that you'll be able to figure out why it's not working." Kayura
replied as she reluctantly handed the staff over to Tigermoon.
"Question, when was the last time you had this thing charged?" Tigermoon asked with a smirk.
"Would you stop fooling around, and find out what's wrong with it?" Kayura asked back.
"Ok, ok sheesh, Kayura you need to work on your sense of humor. But I guess you need to have one before you can work on it." Tigermoon replied.
"Why you..." Kayura said as she glared at her.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to concentrate, but I can't do that if you're still talking." Tigermoon replied as she quickly closed her eyes and started to concentrate.
"Check out Kayura, I've never seen anyone get her so riled up like that before." Kaye whispered as she was trying to keep from laughing out loud. Just then Kayura quickly snapped her attention from Tigermoon and directed it right at Kaye.
"I heard that, you better count yourself lucky that we didn't meet during the Dynasty wars.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing there now." Kayura replied angrily.
"Whatever Kayura." Kaye said as she rolled her eyes.
"No one disrespects Kayura, and gets away with it." Cale said as he started to approach Kaye.
"Don't even think about it Cale, you're not even going to come close to laying a hand on her."
Kento said as he got between them.
"Ok that's it! I won't have any fights break out in my house! If you're going to fight, then
take it outside." Mia yelled angrily as she pointed to the back door.
Tigermoon, finally frustrated with all of the fighting that was going on, decided that it was time to leave. So she slowly opened her eyes, took a quick look around and then vanished with the Ancient staff.
"Oh great, hey guys! HEY!" Cye said as he was trying to get their attention. Unfortunately, no one heard him, and then he decided to give one very loud-shrill whistle.
"Ouch! Cye what?!" Ryo asked as he was rubbing his ear.
"Take a good look around, and then tell me what or I should say whom is missing." Cye replied as he crossed his arms.
"Oh nice one! This is just great! I knew it, the minute that we turned our backs, she would have disappeared with the staff!" Kayura said in annoyance.
"No I don't think so, Tigermoon was going to finally tell us everything, and then you and your warlords had to show up and cause trouble." Kento replied hotly.
"This is a surprise, Hardrock actually thinks." Dais said with a smirk.
"Hey! Shut your mouth Dais!" Kento shot back.
"Try and make me. I know that you've been itching for a rematch." Dais said as he quickly stood up from the couch.
"Yea right, get over yourself hocus pocus, as I remember it, I was the one who kicked your butt the last time." Kento replied as he glared at him.
Cye gave another loud-shrill whistle, "all right, hold it! I think that the reason that Tigermoon left was because of the fighting. I would leave too if I couldn't concentrate in a room filled with bickering people." Cye said as he looked around at them.
"Ok then, maybe we should go out and try to find her. I don't think that she would be use to our world just yet. She might get into trouble, Kayura, is there some way that you can track down the staff from here?" Kaye asked as she looked over at her.
"Of course." Kayura replied in an arrogant tone.
"Then what are you waiting for, an invitation?" Kaye asked.
Kayura rolled her eyes, and then began to concentrate on homing in onto the Ancient staff. "I have a fix on it." Kayura replied after a few minutes passed by.
"The Dynasty! I knew it, grab her, and don't let her get away!" Kento growled as he went for her.
"Eep!" Tigermoon said as she quickly jumped up from the floor and onto the chandelier.
"Hey, get down here!" Ryo yelled up to her.
