Chapter 11- 4 Down, 4 To Go

Rannu waited anxiously as the minutes ticked by, he was expecting someone back by now, where were they?

At this time the door to the lobby opened and Logan, Beat, and Snow walked through, but they had company, Hyozanryu and Ryo decided to stay and help after they heard the story of Rannu. "So this is light Rannu?" Ryo asked, "Yes, I am." Rannu said, "Where's everyone else?" Snow asked, "I'm not very sure, they should be back." Rannu said, then Vahn, Ton, Dale and Elly walked through the door, "Hey everyone! We beat the Wind Sage! And she gave me this!" Dale said twirling the impressive staff, Rannu took one look at the staff, gasped, and took a step back. "What?" Dale asked, "T-T-that's the Vengeance baton? But how can you..." Rannu said, but he realised what the answer was, "Cool! I have a Vengeance weapon! Wait till Mini Bert hears about this!" Dale yelled, then the door swung open again, "You'll have to wait to tell him, He took a hard hit from Dinensi." Cloud said walking into the lobby. "And Kinami took an even harder hit.." Cloud said, "What? Without Mini Bert's Vengeance Blade you can't kill Dark Rannu!" Rannu said.

They talked for awhile, then Duraku and DarkMagician came in with Giga Bert, Giga was still holding his arm, and there was still a gaping hole. "What happened?" Logan asked Giga, "Did you kill the sage?" Dale asked, "We didn't have to, someone else did, but the same someone did this." Giga explained taking his hand off the wound, "Oh, I almost forgot, Courteon said that only a sacred weapon or someone of special descent can truly kill a sage, is that true?" Vahn asked, "Yes. It is, so I need to know who killed all of the sages. "Mini Bert." Said Cloud, "Dale." Said Ton, "Hyozanryu and Ryo." Said Logan, "Someone who had a very large silver chain." Giga said, "Someone with a large silver chain?" Rannu said in suprise, "Hyozanryu, Ryo, what are your weapons?" Rannu asked, Hyozanryu pulled out his agito, and Ryo pulled out his yamigarasu, "Aaah, yes the yamigarasu, that would have been what killed Magnus." Rannu said.

"So, the weapons do affect the battle?" Logan asked, "Yes. But there's no time to chat, after hearing your stories, I'm going to change it to two teams.

1st Team: Logan, Vahn, Elly, Snow, Dale, Cloud 2nd Team: Beat, Ton, Duraku, DarkMagician, Ryo, Hyozanryu

Now when you encounter the sage, Dale or Ryo must deliver the final blow." Rannu explained.

They all split into their groups, "Ok, 1st team, you'll go after the Water Sage, Marine, Who is hiding in the wet caves. 2nd team, you'll go after Geon Iris, who is hiding in the ruins, directly opposite of where Adameon was." Rannu explained, "What about me?" Giga asked, "You're staying here. You can't take another hit, and it's clear someone doesn't want you around." Rannu said, "Go to the repair shop, you need it." Rannu finished.

The teams walked out of the lobby, one by one, Vahn was at the end of the line, he stopped in front of the door and turned to Rannu, "Courteon said that if we found the jouranl of the Vengeance Blades creator, everything would be made clear, do you know who that is?" Vahn asked, "Sadly. I have not been able to find that journal, nor do I know the creator, the only thing we can do is get rid of the sages." Rannu said, Vahn nodded, turned and left.

"I wish I knew who created it. Then we could ask him to make more."
