The 3rd match of the quarterfinals had already begun at the ring. Kyle and his team already had 3 wins and Kyle and Ricky were already well into the final match.
Kyle now had the advantage and Ricky soon found himself out of the ring.
"Kyle wins which means team lee advance to the semi finals" the fight announcer said.
Kyle and the others left the ring and headed outside. Wu long and Danny went back to the hotel while Kyle and Alex went to find the others. they both came to a seat and found Anna fast asleep on it.
"hey look it's Anna" Alex said.
"looks she didn't get much sleep last night" Kyle added.
As Kyle and Alex walked towards Anna she started to move.
"I think she's waking up" Alex said.
Anna opened her eyes and saw Kyle and Alex.
"Kyle" she said.
"hey sleepy head" Kyle replied.
Anna looked around.
"I guess I must have dozed off"
Anna turned to Kyle.
"where's everyone else" she asked.
"looking for Yoh and manta" Alex replied.
"I obviously fell asleep before they left" Anna said.
Anna wiped her eyes.
"I wish I hadn't" she added.
"well why don't we go and find them" Kyle said.
Kyle held out his hand and Anna took it and Kyle helped Anna up.
"lets go" Anna said.
Unseen by anyone Mariah watched Kyle Anna and Alex from a balcony.
"I see you still look after people Kyle" Mariah said to herself.
Mariah leaned on the balcony rails and looked at Kyle.
"oh Kyle why did you leave I cared so much about you" she said.
Mariah turned and left. She arrived back at her hotel room to find lee waiting.
"where have you been Mariah" lee asked.
"I went for a walk" Mariah answered.
"did you see anyone" lee added.
"no one important" Mariah replied.
"I see" lee said.
Mariah walked over to the window.
"when is our match" Mariah asked.
"2 o clock" lee answered.
"can you find Wesley I think we better do some last minute training" Mariah said.
"sure no problem" lee said as he got up.
Lee left the room and Mariah looked out of the window her thoughts still on Kyle.
"I wish you were still with us Kyle" she said.
Mariah began to sing a song.
You've been gone for some years now.
But it only seems like yesterday.
Since you left me.
I don't understand.
Why did you have to go.
You broke my heart the day you left.
And it's still broken today.
I don't understand.
Why did you to leave.
Why did you have to go.
Why did you leave me all alone.
I don't understand.
We used to be the best of friends.
We were always together.
Why did it all have to end.
I don't understand.
I often pass the placers.
We used to play when we were kids.
And brings it all flooding back.
I don't understand.
Where did it all go wrong.
We used to have such fun together.
And I still really miss you.
I don't understand.
Why did you to leave.
Why did you have to go.
Why did you leave me all alone.
I don't understand.
We used to be the best of friends.
We were always together.
Why did it all have to end.
I don't understand.
Mariah stopped singing and a single tear rolled down her face.
"why did you leave us Kyle" she said.
Meanwhile Kyle Anna and Alex were looking for the others.
"so where shall we start" Anna asked.
"maybe I can help you there"
all 3 turned to see Anderson the captain of team Anderson.
"if you're looking for smith I know where he is" Anderson told them.
"where is he" Kyle asked.
"I'll show you" Anderson replied.
Anderson turned to leave and Kyle Anna and Alex followed him. Everyone soon arrived at the town square and they weren't alone.
"mr Anderson"
everyone turned to see smith.
"smith" Anderson said.
The rest of smith's gang appeared and surrounded Kyle and the others.
"looks like they were excepting us" Alex said.
"now why don't you tell me why you and your friends are looking for me" smith demanded.
"because we think you kidnapped a friend of ours" Anna told him.
"the boy was a friend of your was he" smith said.
"so you do have him" Anna said.
"had. you see I was working for someone" smith replied.
"who" Kyle asked.
"I'm afraid I don't know. All I do know is that the person who picked the boy up works at the ring"
smith stepped forward.
"ok now that I know why you're looking for me. Why don't we get down to business" smith said.
Smith and his men got ready to fight.
"there's no need for us to fight we only came to talk" Kyle said.
"well your going to have to fight" smith replied.
Smith and his men charged at Kyle and the others. but before they could attack a group of men appeared and took smith and his gang down.
"wow who are these guys" Alex asked.
"there my masters men"
everyone looked up to see someone wearing a mask standing on a walkway above them.
"I guess we owe you and your master thanks" Kyle said.
"oh I didn't take smiths gang out to help you" the masked person said.
"then why" Kyle asked.
"they were in the way. You see I want you my self" the masked person told them.
The other men surrounded Kyle and the others.
"looks like things are about to get ugly" Alex said.
"attack" the masked person shouted.
To be continued.
Who is the masked person. Will Kyle and the others be able to defeat these men. And who really has manta. Find out in the next part of island of heroes.
There's another chapter for you. The song Mariah sing is another one of mine what did you think. The reason I put it in the chapter is because it explains how Mariah feels about Kyle. Sorry I'm dragging out the whose got manta story line but bare with me it will be worth it who do you think has manta please let me know.
Big thanks to yamiandanzu4ever and Chris Jericho-y2j (thanks for yet another great idea) and everyone else that have reviewed.
Many thanks
