It's come to my attention that I've made quite a few mistakes in my last chapters. For one the language of the Hylan people isn't Hylish its Hylan and the people aren't Hyrulian they're Hylans, go figure. We'll nobody ever told me this so thank you very much Great divide. As for the bold thing, okay here's the thing I always, always type in bold. Now when I first started uploading my story it put it up in bold but then it stopped doing it and then it started once again. Finally it just stopped uploading in bold altogether, so that's the deal with that. Thank you great –divide again constructive criticism is always welcomed and you did help but I still don't know if you liked the story, so tell me will ya. Oh and thank you Inu's first mate I finally got your review. Okay here I go.

Chapter 17: Cracks in the Glass

Alone in the dark room the worried man tried to suppress his inner demons. They sensed the pieces, the pieces of soul edge not to far off. No matter what he tried the whispers got louder echoing in his enraged mind. The man was strong but the demon was stronger and it would not be denied the shards. With one final cry and attempt at freedom the man gave in and Nightmare was again reborn.

"We have some interesting news for you all." Mitsurugi announced "Mina and I went into town looking for information on soul edge." Mina looked sick like she was gonna throw up.

"What's wrong Mina?" Yunsung asked

"Well you see we have a lead the shard is in Korea. And out of all the people…"

"Who…" Xianghua asked with raised eyebrow thinking about Voldo or maybe Cervantes having the shard

"Hwang… he found the shard and … and he brought it back to the dojo, now you know what that means Yunsung we're going back home and … and if my dad knows that I found you by now he's gonna try to keep me there."

"That never seemed to stop you before." Yunsung said shrugging his shoulders "we'll just run away again."

"But I'm sure they've beefed up security especially with the shard in they're possession."

"Sure but Mina we're the best besides Hwang and look at all the back up we have, it's no problem… the problem would be getting Mitsurugi and Taki inside."

"Hey I didn't even think about that it's true. There's no way we can fake their ethnicity they know of Mitsurugi the 'one man army' and Taki has the markings of the fu-ma clan, they take every precaution when it comes to security. Wait how did you think of that?"

"I'm not dumb Mina."

"Could have fooled me." He just looked at her and didn't say anything

"Well this doesn't solve our problem." Lyric said

"We'll just stay on the boat." Taki said

"No, they'll check it and then they'll fight and I don't want any fatalities. We're going to take a gamble… you'll come off with us. I have a proposal and I need you all to trust me, I'm not going to tell you guys now because I don't want anyone stopping me."

"I hope it works because we might have a fight on our hands."

Siegfried finally came out on deck.

"Hey it took you long enough. We were just talking about our next destination. Looks like were going to Korea." Maxi said

"Hmmm… sounds interesting. A lead so soon"

"Yeah but we have a problem what to do with Mitsurugi and Taki."

"I said I have it." Mina yelled

"Well look I'm sorry okay, but their might be another way."

"Look Maxi who died and made you leader, you always have to have things your way, you're not the boss of us. I can make good decisions on my own."

"Damn mina he didn't even say anything like that there's no need to be so snippy." Xianghua said

"Shut up you whiny bitch, why don't you let him speak for himself, he's a man he can handle it?" Xianghua got up and smacked the shit out of Mina. Kilik grabbed her before a real fight started

"What is wrong with you Mina?" He asked trying to hold back Xianghua

"I'm tired of people deciding things for me. I'm a grown woman I do what I want, when I want and I don't need anyone to tell me what to do. I said I have a plan and you know what I'm extremely stressed and I don't need anyone stepping on my toes."

"They're just trying to help Mina; I mean we have a big problem ahead of us." Taki said

"Look Taki just leave mina alone she only gets worst when you say you're trying to help. She has a problem with dependence and well we've been dependent on each other for a good six… seven months now."

"Just shut up all off you. You no nothing absolutely nothing"

"You have such an attitude problem." Talim said quietly

"Talim why don't you leave this to the adults" Raphael said mocking her

"Hey leave her alone." Link yelled

"Oh yeah and no freaks either."

"I thought we had settled this but I still think I have to teach you a lesson," Lyric said walking up to the three "what do you got against us"

"Look I'll try to talk slowly so you can understand me..." she smacked him so hard the arguing going on everywhere stopped

'They're making this too easy. Divide and conquer' whispered the demonic presence inside Siegfried.

"Look I'm going to go set sail so we can be on our way, go ahead and continue fighting like a bunch of wild animals." Maxi said leaving the group."

They started sailing towards Korea and still they continued their arguing. They had only gotten all little ways out when a huge vessel came to the side of the boat.

Lyric's eye went wide "Cervantes" she whispered "We'll finish this later, right now we have bigger problems"
