Chapter Six

In the castle, Talpa approached Cye who was still chained to the wall. Cye was very concerned about Ayame since she had taken a direct punch in the stomach. He just hoped the baby was okay.

"It's time to see how touch you really are Torrent," Talpa said. "Badamon!"

Cye watched as the ghost appeared and hovered over to Talpa. The chains holding Cye disappeared and he fell to the ground.

"You know what to do!" Talpa ordered the ghost.

Cye started backing up as Badamon started chanting. The next thing he knew he was being lifted in the air with electrical current coursing through his body. He tried his hardest not to scream, but soon he couldn't help it. In the dungeons, Ayame was pushed into the cell and the door locked. Her stomach still hurt where Marik had punched her. She just hoped that nothing happened to the baby or Mako would have his way with Marik. On the castle grounds, Ryo suddenly found himself away from the others. When he turned around, he came face to face with Sekhmet and the other Warlords.

"So you guys want to fight uh?" Ryo said taking his swords from his back.

Sekhmet and the others got their weapons out and surrounded him. Dais leapt forward to hit him but was blocked by Ryo's swords. Sekhmet saw his chance and struck catching Ryo in the arm with one sword and his side with the other sword. Ryo screamed in pain and went down. Cale stepped forward and hit Ryo over the head with his weapon and Ryo dropped to the ground, unconscious.

"That was too easy," Sekhmet said. "Let's go."

Dais and Cale picked Ryo up and they disappeared back to the castle. In the throne room, Badamon finished what he was doing. Cye dropped to the ground, unconscious.

"Good job Badamon," Talpa said coming forward. "The Warlords should be back soon with another toy."

Just then, the Warlords appeared with Ryo and Talpa grinned.

"Leave him and take Torrent back to the dungeons," Talpa said as they dropped Ryo on the ground.

Meanwhile, Rowen had turned to ask Ryo something and found him missing.

"Have you guys seen Ryo?" he asked the others. When they shook their heads, he yelled, "Ryo! Where are you?"

The next thing they knew Dynasty Soldiers appeared and they had their hands full. In the dungeons, Ayame looked up as Satori brought Cye back to the dungeons and tossed him onto the floor, then left the room, locking the door once again.

"Can you hear me Cye?" she asked crawling over to where Cye laid, but he didn't respond.

In the throne room, Talpa took the bucket of ice water from Sekhmet and tossed it on top of Ryo, who jerked awake, leaping to his feet, but regretted it when the pain from his injuries hit him and he almost collapsed once again.

"Hold him," Talpa ordered.

Dais and Sekhmet jerked him to his feet and held his arms behind his back.

"Where's Cye and Ayame?" Ryo ordered.

"You'll find out sooner or later," Talpa said, stepping up to him. "Badamon!"

Rowen dusted two Dynasty Soldiers but three more filled their spots. Kento was battling not far from him and he wasn't having any luck at all. Sage was protecting Yami and his friends.

"Get back guys," Kei yelled over the fighting. "My sure-kill will take care of these guys. SUNBEAM BLAST!"

Everybody was able to get out of the way as Kei's attack sliced through all of the soldiers destroying them immediately.

"Good job, Kei," Kento said as the others joined them. "Let's go find Ryo, Cye and Ayame."

They started running toward the castle where they knew their friends were.
