Realm Remix

ch 13

"You'll pay for that!" Ryo yelled at Siren angrily as he kept charging. Siren backed away just as Ryo swung away at him.

As they were fighting, Cye started to barely stir. "Cye, don't you dare leave us." Kaye's voice whispered to him in his mind.

"Kaye?" Cye groaned quietly as he started to come around a little more.

"Cye, Ryo needs your help." Kaye replied as her concerned voice echoed in his head.

Cye opened his eyes slightly, and he could see that Ryo was going all out against Siren. He started to slowly roll to his side and then pushed himself up to stand while steadying himself on the nearest bolder. "Ryo...Ryo!" Cye yelled as he saw him go down.

"Say goodbye." Siren said as he brought his weapon up above his head and ready to strike down towards him.

"Super wave smasher!" Cye yelled as he delivered his sure-kill towards him.

"What! NO!" Siren yelled as he was caught totally unaware of Cye's attack. It hit him dead on, making Siren fly back into the farthest wall and falling unconscious.

"Cye!" Ryo exclaimed as he was getting up from the ground and running over to him before he fell down.

===============================================================

"Tigermoon..." Kaye whispered as she looked up towards the slightly confused and yet concerned female.

"Yea?" Tigermoon asked back as she knelt down next to her.

"I need you to do something." Kaye replied as she started to sit up.

"What is it?" Tigermoon asked as she helped her sit up fully.

"I need you to spaceshift and get Cye and Ryo, and bring them back here." Kaye replied as she looked towards her.

"What?!" as she let go of Kaye making her almost fall backwards and hitting the ground, but she quickly regained her composure and caught her.

"Please, we need them." Kaye pleaded with her.

Tigermoon looked at her a bit longer, "ok, I'll only do it because you've asked so nicely." she replied with a slight smirk, and then she disappeared.

===============================================================

"Cye, I thought that you..." Ryo started to say, but just then Tigermoon popped over in front of them.

Ryo quickly got in front of Cye, and drew his swords. "Hey, whoa there, take it easy. If you didn't want me to drop in, all you had to do was say so." Tigermoon said as she backed up a little.

"Sorry, I thought that..." Ryo replied as he seethed his swords.

"That I was one of the bad guys. Give me a break! You know what I don't have to take this. The only reason why I'm here, is because Kaye asked me nicely." Tigermoon said in slight annoyance.

"Tigermoon, is she..?" Cye asked in concern.

"She's ok, but I know that she'll feel better when we get back to the rest of them. So let's go already, they're waiting for us." Tigermoon replied as she grabbed onto their wrists and spaceshifted from their present location.

"Uhhh, I thought that I..." Siren started to say as he was slowly getting up.

"Siren, Shiree was right, you are getting soft," Cosa replied as he looked at him in disgust. "But lucky for you, we need all of the guardians that we can get."

===============================================================

"What is taking them so long?" Kaye asked as she was pacing.

"Hey we're back, and it's a good thing, now my nose can stop itching." Tigermoon replied as she, Cye and Ryo appeared.

"Ryo, Cye, hey are you two ok?" Rowen asked as they looked towards them.

"Yea we're fine Rowen, we had a small problem, but Cye took care of it." Ryo replied with a smirk.

"I would have to call that pure luck." Doste said as he appeared standing on a narrow catwalk.

"Luck! Yea right you little pain. Why don't you come down here and say that?" Kento challenged as he looked towards him.

"I thought that you would never have asked," Doste replied with a grin as he summer salted down and landed a few feet away from them. "Now, what do you say that you give me a try?"

===============================================================

"You have got to be kidding me? Is that all you got, Kayura? Pathetic." Ikari said in disgust as she stared at Kayura as she was lying on the ground.

Ikari took one last look at Kayura, and then turned and started to walk away from her. "Where do you think that you're going? This is far from over." Kayura replied as she was up on one knee and leaning onto the staff.

"I guess that you still have some fight in you after all." Ikari said with a sly grin.

"Why are you having your fight with me anyway? I thought that Talpa was your enemy?" Kayura asked as she and Ikari circled each other.

"I fight anyone that worked for Talpa." Ikari replied as she glared at her.

"But ever since the Ronins defeated Talpa, we've been living in peace. We no longer serve under Talpa." Kayura shot back.

"I don't care! Talpa took what we had and used it for his own. He never intended to restore our realm! So now we're going to do it with the armors and Hariel, so we don't need that staff any more." Ikari replied as she brought her naginata up and around, making Kayura block high with the staff.

"What do you mean?" Kayura asked as she swung away Ikari's naginata.

"Oops, I've said too much. Well, that doesn't matter, because there's nothing that you can do about it anyway. Especially

since you can't get back to them." Ikari replied with a smirk as she started to float up into the air. "Oh and Kayura, it was good to see you again."

===============================================================

"Hey red, nice suds. What do you use, head and shoulders?" Tigermoon asked in amusement.

"Why you insolent cur, you'll pay for that remark!" Doste replied angrily as he quickly wiped away the rest of the suds.

"For your information, I'm not a dog. Do you see a tail or tags on me? No? I didn't think so." Tigermoon shot back.

"Hey in case you've forgotten, we're not exactly in the best position to be bantering back and forth like this." Rowen said as he tried to get Tigermoon from edging on Doste.

"He started it, he called me a dog." Tigermoon replied as she crossed her arms.

"It doesn't matter who started it. Wait, wait a minute, why are we even having this conversation?" Sage asked as he was trying to not become confused by the bantering between Tigermoon and Doste.

"I was only trying to buy you guys some time to try and figure out a plan." Tigermoon replied as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm getting tired of waiting. Are you going to stand there and talk all day, or are we gonna fight?" Doste asked as he was starting to lose his patients.

"Relax, would ya? They'll be more than ready to kick your sorry ass in just a in a minute. Sheesh, you definitely don't have any patients, do you?" Tigermoon asked wirily.

===============================================================

"Kayura, are you sure? She actually said the name Hariel?" Mia asked in slight confusion. "But he's been dead for a very long time."

"I know, but that's what she said." Kayura replied as she was pacing the room.

"But how could that be possible?" Mia asked as she looked towards her.

"That, I'm not so sure." Kayura replied as she finally stopped pacing and sat down.

"Then there's the fact that she brought up they don't need the staff any more. Did she say how else they were going to repair their realm?" Mia asked.

Kayura wasn't sure if she should tell Mia that they were going to use the armors instead of the Ancient's staff. "If Hariel

is alive, then they won't need any of the Ronins to control the five armors. Considering that the Inferno was his armor to start off with. If that's the case, then why take the armor of the warlords, and tiger's armor?" Kayura thought as she frowned.

"Kayura, tell me something. Say that Hariel is alive, then what do you think would happen to the guys?" Mia asked as she looked over at her in concern.

"I won't lie to you Mia, the one's from the Lost Realm would probably kill them, since they won't be needed to control the Inferno." Kayura replied quietly.

"But what about the warlords, and Kaye? Why did they take them as well, if all they were after were the five armors to begin with?" Mia asked worriedly.

"I wish that I could tell you, but I don't even know why." Kayura replied as she started down at the floor.

"Oh," Mia said quietly, and then her eyes snapped open as she realized something. "Kayura, what do you think would happen if Hariel knew that the Ronins were alive? Would he still help those from the Lost Realm?"

"I don't know. From what I can understand, Ikari said that they are trying to repair their home. But if Hariel knew how they are going to go about to do it, then he might just refuse to help them." Kayura replied as she started to feel a bit of hope to rise.

"But how are we going to get in contact with Hariel? I mean he's in this Lost Realm with the others." Mia asked.

"Just leave that to me." Kayura replied with a smile. "I have an idea."
