Realm Remix
Ch 11
"What the heck is that!?" Cye asked as something with a pale complexion that wore a long pale green jacket with black pants.
"This," Shiree asked back with a grin. "This is Siren, he's what's left of the few of the elite guardians for this so called realm."
"What would you like me to do with them, mistress?" Siren asked as he looked at them.
"Do whatever your heart desires, Siren, but make sure to bring me their armors when you're done." Shiree replied as she gave a cold grin and then disappeared.
"You know, it's been a very long time since I've actually had someone to fight. Let's see how good the two of you really are." Siren said as he tipped his head to both sides, making his neck crack.
"Flare up now!" Ryo said as he called upon his sure-kill and directed it right towards Siren.
"Super wave smasher!" Cye replied as he followed suit.
Just as both sure-kill were about to strike, Siren phased into a gaseous state, making both attacks go right through him, and then he solidified back again. "Is that all you've got?
Because if it is, then this will be a very short fight." Siren said as he started to approach them.

"Out of all the people, I had to be stuck here with you." Cale said in disgust as he glanced over at Sage.
"Yea, well, I'm not too thrilled about this either, Cale." Sage replied hotly.
"So, do you have any ideas of how to get out of here, Halo?" Cale asked in annoyance.
"Not at the moment." Sage replied as he crossed his arm.
"Oh that's just great, and I suppose that you can't call upon your armor." Cale said as he rolled his eyes.
"Actually, no I can't. And I'm guessing that neither can you." Sage replied.
"No, Cosa took mine before he got yours." Cale grumbled as he crossed his arms.
"This is just great, neither of us has our armor, and we don't even know where the heck we are." Sage said in annoyance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mmmnnn, what happened?" Kento asked groggily as he was starting to come around.
"It's about time that you woke up." Sekhmet replied as he watched Kento try to sit up.
"On second thought, don't tell me, I remember. AAhh." Kento hissed as he grabbed onto his side.
"I can't believe that I'm going to say this, but if you want, I can heal you." Sekhmet offered.
"No way, you'll try and poison me or something," Kento replied as he glared at him. "Besides, I'm sure that neither of us has our armor, and how can you heal without that?"
"I'm not like your friend, Halo, I don't need my armor in order to heal someone," Sekhmet said as he crossed his arms. "So then I take it that you don't want my help."
"I'll manage," Kento replied as he found an old cloth and tied it around his side. "Do you know where we are?"
"I've heard stories of this place, people called it the lost realm." Sekhmet replied as he uncrossed his arms.
"What else did they say about this lost realm?" Kento asked as he stole a glance towards him.
"Since when were you ever interested in legends?" Sekhmet asked back.
"Since I know that neither of us are going anywhere any time soon. So start talking." Kento replied. Sekhmet gave a nod and then he started to fill Kento in about the lost realm.

"Hey blue, blue?" Tigermoon asked as she was trying to get his attention.
"My name isn't blue, it's Rowen." Rowen replied as he looked over to her.
"Sorry, ok Rowen." Tigermoon said as she held up her hands in protest.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you, it's just..." Rowen replied as he winced a little bit.
"Your rib still hurts, you know what, if you want, I can take a look at it for you." Tigermoon said as she looked back at him.
"No, you don't have to do that." Rowen replied quickly.
"Will you stop playing the role of Mr. macho, and let me help you?" Tigermoon asked as she was starting to get just a little annoyed.
"If anyone is playing, it's you." Rowen replied as he looked towards her.
"Playing, playing what? I don't see any games around do you, and in case you didn't notice, blue, this is no game." Tigermoon shot back.
"Don't you think that I know that? And what's with this crazy mentality of yours?" Rowen asked in a slightly harsh way.
"Crazy mentality! Of all the...look, how do you think that you'd turn out if you were trapped in the Dynasty for a couple of hundred of years? Huh, would you have been able to keep it together, especially when you're constantly being watched? Do you have any idea of what it's like day in and day out, trying to figure out what real freedom is? I was free for a while before Badamon and his nether spirits decided to capture me. For what reason, heck, I don't know. Now think about that, and then tell me about crazy mentality." Tigermoon shot back angrily.
Rowen was starting to feel a little guilty about what he said to Tigermoon. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone off on you like that." Rowen said.
"And?" Tigermoon coaxed.
"And, I'm sorry that you had such a rough life, I shouldn't have judged you so quickly. I'm not usually like that." Rowen replied as he looked apologetically towards her.
"I suppose that I could let it slide, but on one condition." Tigermoon said as she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Oh yea, and what is that?" Rowen asked.
"You stop being so stubborn, and let me bandage up your rib." Tigermoon replied.
"Deal," Rowen said as Tigermoon started to wrap Rowen's rib. "I am curious about one more thing."
"Yea, and what's that?" Tigermoon asked as she tied off Rowen's bandage.
"That space shift thing that you do, are you able to do it now?" Rowen asked with a small smile.
"Let's find out" Tigermoon replied as she returned a smile.

"Dais, I thought that you said that you were good at this type of thing?" Kaye asked as Dais was trying to pick the lock to their cell.
"Hey, don't rush me, it's been a while since I've had to do this. Besides, it would be much faster if you just dawned your armor and blasted our way out of here." Dais replied as he took a quick look back.
"That'll draw too much attention to us, and that's one thing that we don't need right now." Kaye said as she started to get just a little annoyed.
"Fine, then don't rush me. I've just about...got it!" Dais replied as the door to their cell came open.
"Dais, I'm impressed. Come on let's get a move on, I don't know about you, but I don't want to be around when Cosa comes back and finds out that were gone." Kaye said as she was about to help Dais to walk.
"No need for you to help me, I can walk just fine." Dais replied as he started to walk away from their cell.
"So I see, well then, what are we doing standing around here? Let's go and see if we can find the others." Kaye said as they began to walk down the dark corridor.
"Watch your step, the ground around here isn't very stable." Dais warned.
"How can you see the ground, it's too dark, I can't see a thing?" Kaye replied as she squinted her eyes to see.
"Why don't I bring things into the light, so to speak?" Cosa said as a bright light filled the room.
"AAHH, my eyes! I can't see!" Kaye exclaimed as she was rubbing her eyes.
"Quick, change into your armor!" Dais replied.
"What!? You expect me to fight! How the heck am I suppose to fight when I can't see?" Kaye shot back.
"I'll be your eyes, trust me, now transform!" Dais replied as he stood close to her.
"I guess that I don't have a choice, Armor of the Tiger, come forth!" Kaye said as she called forth her armor.
"Now will you hand over your armor, or will I be forced to take it from you?" Cosa asked, as he looked straight at Kaye.
"Are you kidding? There's no way that I would ever just hand over my armor!" Kaye replied angrily as she was trying to get a feel of where he was.
"I thought that you would say something like that." Cosa said with a smirk, as he was about to come in for an attack.
"Kaye, watch out! Jump back, now!" Dais said as he saw Cosa coming in towards her.
"Whoa, ok Dais, if you wouldn't mind, tell me a little sooner next time. That was just a little too close." Kaye replied as she tried to get a feel for Cosa again.
"Hey, just be grateful that I told you in the first place. High block, then kick," Dais said as Kaye did exactly what he told her. Kaye kicked Cosa hard enough to make him fly back a few feet, and land on the ground face down. "Nice kick."
"Thanks, hey, I think that I'm starting to get my vision back." Kaye replied as her vision went from black to blurry.
"Unfortunately, tigress, it's not soon enough." Cosa said as his eyes glowed a bright golden-green, causing ora of the same color to glow around Kaye's armor.
"What's, what's happening?" Kaye asked as she started to slowly rise into the air.
"Since you won't give me your armor willingly, then I have no choice but to take it from you." Cosa replied as he made the ora glow even brighter. Kaye could feel her armor tearing away from her soul.
"Cosa, stop it! You have all of the armors, so why are you taking hers?" Dais asked as he glared at Cosa.
"There's where you're wrong, Dais, hers and two other armors are all that are left for me to collect. Now, if you feel like you want to live, then I would suggest that you don't interfere." Cosa warned. With one more shot of power, Kaye screamed in extreme pain as her armor was finally taken away from her. Then as soon as Cosa got her armor, Kaye fell to the ground unconscious.
"Why you," Dais said as he was about to attack Cosa.
"I wouldn't advise you to do that, Dais, but if you want to, then you're more than welcome to try." Cosa taunted with a smirk.
"No, I can't attack Cosa that's exactly what he would want me to do." Dais thought as he glared at him, and then stood down from attacking.
"I thought that you would see it my way," Cosa gloated. "Pick her up and follow me."
"Where are you taking us?" Dais asked as he scooped Kaye up and carried her.
"You'll find out soon enough." Cosa replied as he started to walk towards the other cells.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clicking sound of an old-rustic lock made the two occupants of the cell turn their attention towards the creaking opening of the steel door. "Get in there, and don't let me hear any of you try anything stupid." Cosa said as he pushed Dais inside and then slammed the door shut.
"Dais, what?" Cale asked as he saw that he was holding the unconscious female.
"Kaye! Dais put her down over here." Sage said as he quickly made room.
"Dais, you didn't answer my question." Cale said as he looked over at him as he laid her down next to Sage.
"What does it look like, we got out of our cell, thanks to me. Then we started to try and find the rest of you to let you out, and then Cosa shows up, they fought, and in the end he got her armor." Dais replied as he went over to Cale and sat down.
"And what did you do, Dais, just stand there and let him take it?" Sage asked angrily.
"Hey, out of the two of us, she was the only one that still had an armor at the time. So I didn't really have a choice." Dais shot back.
"Why you..," Sage replied as he was going to attack Dais. But then a groan made Sage stop and then he turned around and kneeled over by Kaye's side. "Kaye, are you all right?"
"Sage?" Kaye asked in a groggy voice.
"Yea it's me, can you sit up?" Sage asked as he helped her.
"I'm sorry Sage, Cosa got my armor." Kaye replied.
"I know, everything is going to be alright. Don't you worry, we'll get Cosa back for this." Sage said as he sat down next to her.
"Dais, did Cosa say why he wanted the armors?" Cale asked as he looked over to him.
"He said something about piecing back together this realm that Talpa destroyed." Dais replied as he looked back.
"What else did Cosa say?" Cale asked.
"He said that since he doesn't have the Ancient's staff that our armors will be enough to do the job. He also said that there were two more armors that he needed to get yet." Dais replied.
"Two more? Which ones would those be?" Cale asked.
"If I would guess, I would have to say, Ryo and Cye." Sage replied as he finally spoke up.
"Then we still have a chance to get out of here, wherever here is, and then we can get our armors back and stop Cosa." Kaye said as she looked over at him.
"Optimistic, aren't ya?" Cale asked skeptically.
"You better believe it." Kaye replied with a smirk.
