Yoh sat outside the burnt out hotel with Anna in his arms. He was waiting for Kyle with the others.
"I hope he's alright," Mariah said.
"Don't worry Mariah Kyle can look after himself" yoh replied.
"There he is" Jordan said.
Kyle came up to the others and Mariah went up to him.
"Kyle your alright" Mariah said.
Kyle didn't reply.
"Lee and Wesley" Mariah asked.
Kyle shook his head.
"I'm sorry Mariah pyro and keyran have got them," Kyle answered.
"Oh no" Mariah added.
"Wu long too" yoh asked.
"Yeah I'm afraid it's just us now" Kyle replied.
"So what are we going to do" Jordan asked.
"We need to find somewhere safe to stay while Anna recovers" Kyle told everyone.
"But where, pyro's gonna have men all over town looking for us" yoh said.
"Were going to have to leave town and I know just the place to go not even keyran knows where it is" Kyle explained.
"Running away"
Kyle and the others turned to see spike.
"Spike what are you doing here" Kyle demanded.
"I just thought I'd see how you guys were doing. Not too good it seems" spike said.
Kyle suddenly grabbed spike and pushed him against a wall.
"Wow looks like I hit a nerve" spike mocked.
"No more games spike where is everyone" Kyle yelled.
"I'm afraid I don't know and even if I did do you think I would tell you" spike replied.
"They've got lee and Wesley" Mariah told him.
"They have" spike said.
"Yeah and if you know where they are you better tell us" Kyle added.
"I told you I don't know I'm not exactly in the loop anymore" spike told his brother.
"Then what do you know" yoh asked.
"Why should I tell you" spike replied.
"Please spike for me," Mariah said.
"Oh all right but not until Kyle gets his hands of me" spike added.
Kyle let spike go and stood back. Spike shook his coat.
"That's better do you know how much this coat cost" spike said.
"Just tell us what you know spike" Kyle demanded.
"All I know is that there's someone controlling things from behind the scenes. Claw the tournament me keyran this persons been behind it all" spike explained.
"The sorceress" Kyle asked.
Spike shook his head.
"She too is following orders from someone else" spike replied.
"So what does this person want" yoh asked.
"You and your friends but I don't know anything else" spike continued.
Spike turned to leave.
"Now you guys best get out of town before keyran comes after you" spike added.
"Where are you going" Kyle asked.
"To find lee and Wesley," spike answered.
"What about the others" yoh said.
"There not my problem if lee and Wesley are with them then I'll know where they are if not there on there own" spike replied.
Spike then disappeared into the night.
"So there's someone else behind everything," Kyle said.
"Why do you think there after us" yoh asked.
"I don't know but I bet we'll find out sooner or later. Now we best get going as spike said it won't be long before they come after us" Kyle replied.
As Kyle and the others left none of them saw a masked man watching them from a rooftop. The man pulled a radio out of his pocket.
"Sir I've found them" the man said.
Kyle and the others walked a few miles before they came to a bridge.
"Can we rest a minute?" Jordan asked.
"Sorry Jordan we got to keep going as soon as we get into the woods we can rest" Kyle said.
"I'm afraid you're not going to make it"
Kyle and the others turned to see keyran and about 10 masked men.
"End of the line my friends" keyran said.
The men charged at Kyle and the others. Yoh Kyle and Mariah begin to fight as Jordan looked after Anna.
"Look out Kyle" Mariah yelled.
Kyle turned to see keyran heading for him.
"This time your going down Kyle" keyran said.
Keyran kicked Kyle in the stomach Kyle staged back.
"You're going to have to do better than that keyran," Kyle said.
"As you wish" keyran added.
Keyran swung for Kyle but Kyle dodged his attack.
"Keyran you have to relies your being controlled" Kyle said.
"What are you talking about" keyran replied.
"The sorceress is controlling your mind you have to fight it" Kyle said.
Keyran kicked Kyle in the face sending him to the ground.
"Nice try Kyle" keyran told him.
Kyle got back up and turned to keyran.
"Your nothing but a puppet keyran" Kyle said.
"Really" keyran replied.
Keyran went for Kyle again but Kyle blocked the attack and held his hand.
"I know some part of the keyran I know is still in there," Kyle said.
"Your wasting your time Kyle your tricks not gonna work. Only my tricks work" keyran repaired.
Without any waning 4 masked men appeared and grabbed Kyle
"Kyle" Mariah shouted.
Mariah headed over to Kyle and didn't see one of the masked men behind her.
"Mariah get down" yoh yelled.
Mariah did as yoh said and yoh kicked the man knocking him down. But then two other men appeared and grabbed yoh.
"Yoh" Mariah said.
One of the masked men then grabbed Mariah.
"Get off me" Mariah yelled.
Mariah stamped on the masked man's foot the man yelled and let Mariah go.
"Why you" the man said.
The man pulled out a sword and went for Mariah. As the man was about to finish Mariah off someone else knocked the man down it was celvin.
"I'm glad were not too late" celvin said.
Two of the masked men ran at celvin but he soon took then down.
"Get him" keyran yelled.
Some more of the masked men were about to charge at when coal appeared and stopped them yoh punched one of the man holding him and knocked down the other one more masked men arrived then eddy appeared and took them down yoh and Mariah took the men down holding Kyle and everyone soon took down all the masked men leaving only keyran.
"Your move keyran" Kyle said.
