Yoh and Jordan quickly ran into the woods as wu long and the others continued to fight the elemental warriors.

Yoh and Jordan continued to run until Jordan couldn't run anymore.

"I can't go any further," Jordan said as she fell to her knees.

Yoh looked back towards the village.

"Doesn't look like anyone's following us," he said.

Yoh sat down on a tree stump to catch his breath.

"Thanks for getting me out of there" Jordan told yoh.

"No problem" yoh replied.

"So what do we do now?" Jordan asked.

"We need to track down whoever's got Anna" yoh replied.

Yoh turned to Jordan.

"Did you see who grabbed Anna?" he asked.

Jordan shook her head.

"I'd just taken Anna a drink and left the room. Next thing I know I heard the window smash and heard Anna scream.

Jordan explained.

"Then I ran into the room and found that she had been kidnapped" Jordan continued.

"Your sure you didn't see anything" yoh added.

"Nothing the room was empty" Jordan replied.

Jordan turned away.

"It's all my fault yoh" Jordan added.

"What are you talking about" yoh asked.

Jordan turned back to him and yoh could see tears in her eyes.

"I told wu long to wait down stairs so he didn't disturb Anna" Jordan replied

Tears began to fall from Jordan eyes.

"It's my fault there was no one there to protect her," Jordan said as she began to cry.

Yoh went over to her and Jordan grabbed him.

"I'm so sorry yoh," Jordan sobbed.

"It's not your fault Jordan" yoh said as he held her.

Jordan smiled to her self she couldn't believe how easy it was to trick yoh.

Meanwhile wu long and the others had been defeated by the elemental warriors and were taken to a large castle. Wu long eddy and lee were lead down to the cells and found the rest of the Foxly gang were being held there. All 3 were put into an empty cell and found that celvin and coal were in the cell next to them.

"I see were not the only ones that got caught" eddy said.

"Yeah we were heading though the forest with pyro when these guys jumped us" coal explained.

"Let me guess the elemental warriors" wu long added.

"You got it in one" celvin replied.

"So what happened to pyro" wu long asked.

"He was rescued by his mistress"

Everyone turned to see the sorceress walking down the stairs with pyro close behind.

"Nice to see you again wu long" the sorceress added.

"Can't say I feel the same way" wu long replied.

The sorceress and pyro walked up to wu long's cell

"I should have guessed the elemental warriors were your men" wu long continued.

"Oh they're not my mine they're a group of bounty hunters keyran hired to capture you" The sorceress replied.

"So once again you're getting other people to do your dirty work for you" wu long added.

"If it gets the job done quicker who cares," The sorceress replied.

The sorceress smiled at wu long.

"Why have you brought us all here" wu long demanded.

"Oh you'll find out soon enough," the sorceress said as she turned to leave with pyro.

The sorceress and pyro headed towards the door and could see some guards walking towards them holding three people.

"Looks like you've got some more company," the sorceress said as she left.

The guards came into the room and put Wesley Mariah and spike who was still out cold into a cell.

"Wesley Mariah" lee said.

"Hey lee" Wesley replied.

"Where's Kyle" lee asked.

"He's still in a bad way so they've taken him to a medical room" Mariah replied.

Alex ran up to his cell door.

"What happened to my brother?" the boy demanded.

"He was badly injured when he saved spikes life," Mariah explained.

"Will he be ok" Alex added.

Mariah lowered her head.

"I don't know. All we can do is hope" she replied.

Jordan and yoh had now been walking though the forest for what seemed like hours.

"This is getting us nowhere" Jordan said as she stopped.

"We have to keep looking" yoh told her.

"But Anna could be anywhere by now" Jordan added.

Jordan walked up to yoh.

"I think we might have to accept the fact were not going to find here," Jordan continued.

"No I will not give up on her. She wouldn't give up on me" yoh replied.

"You sound pretty sure about that" a voice called out of the darkness.

Yoh could believe his ears.

"No it can't be" yoh said.

"I'm afraid it is my brother"

Hao asukra came out of the darkness of the forest.

"Aren't you pleased to see me brother" hao asked.

"Where is she" yoh replied.

"Where's who. Oh Anna she's fine weather she stays that way is up to you" hao added.

"If you lay a single hand on her," yoh warned.

"You'll do what" hao asked.

Hao walked up to his twin.

"There's nothing you can do" hao continued

"I've beaten you before" yoh added.

"Yes but since then I've learned some new tricks" hao replied.

Hao clapped his hands and a man appeared with Anna holding a sword to her neck.

"I call this one surrender or the girl dies" hao added.

"Don't say I didn't warn you" yoh continued.

Before hao could say another word yoh grabbed him pulled out his sword and held to hao's neck.

"Your not the only one who's learned some new tricks. I call this one let her go or you'll lose your head" yoh snapped.

Hao smiled to himself.

"Nice move but I still have the advantage" hao told his twin.

Jordan suddenly came up behind yoh and hit him over the head with a stick. Yoh fell to the ground and hao picked up his sword.

"You see Jordan is one of my spies" hao explained.

Yoh turned to hao and Jordan.

"All this time you've been one of them" yoh said.

"Yes. It's thanks to me master hao was able to kidnap Anna" Jordan replied.

"I'm going to make you pay for this" yoh yelled.

Yoh jumped up and turned to Jordan but hao grabbed him.

"Stop right their yoh. You wouldn't what Anna to get hurt now would you" hao said.

"No" yoh said quietly.

"Then surrender and she will remain unharmed" hao continued.

Yoh knew he would never forgive himself if anything happened to Anna. There was only one thing he could do.

"Alright hao you win. I surrender" yoh said.

"Wise choice" hao added.

Hao clapped his hands and two guards appeared and grabbed yoh.

"When we get back to the castle put him with his other friends" hao told the guards.

"Please master May I have him" Jordan asked.

Hao turned to her.

"You like him do you" hao replied.

Jordan nodded.

"Yes master" she added.

Hao smiled at Jordan

"Very well" he told the girl.

"Thank you master" Jordan replied.

"What about Anna" yoh demanded.

Hao walked over to Anna.

"She will be taken to my private chamber I have plans for my beautiful Anna" hao said as he stroked Anna's face.

"Dam you hao" yoh yelled as the two guards dragged him away.

"Looks like it's just you and me Anna" hao continued.

"Get away from me you creep" Anna told him.

"Now Anna that's just rude looks like I'm going to have to teach you some manners when we get back to the castle" hao added.

Hao and the others soon arrived back at the castle and hao headed into the main hall to find the sorceress pyro and keyran waiting for him.

"Well isn't this nice everyone's here to welcome me home" hao said as he entered the room.

"What do you think your playing at hao?" the sorceress snapped.

"Me" hao said giving a fake look of surprise.

"Don't give me that. Why did you go with elemental warriors to capture asukra and the others?" the sorceress demanded.

"I was board so I thought I'd go to where the action was " hao told her.

"Then may be you can explain why one of your spies just happened to be with asukra and his friends" pyro added.

"I thought it would help having someone on the inside" hao explained.

"Really did you think it would also help by snatching the girl?" the sorceress asked.

"If I hadn't yoh would still been out there" hao replied.

"Dam it hao this was my operation I don't need you interfering" the sorceress told him.

"Well someone has to make sure your plans don't fail" hao continued.

"How dare you," the sorceress yelled.

"Oh I love it when your angry" hao said with a grin.

"Back off hao" pyro snapped.

"I see you need your rent boy to fight your battle's" hao mocked.

"Oh that's it" pyro added.

A ball of fire appeared in pyro's hand.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson once and for all" pyro told him.

Hao pulled out his sword.

"Give me your best shot" hao replied.

"That's enough you two," a voice shouted.

Everyone turned to see a cloaked figure. Hao quickly put his sword away and the ball of fire disappeared from pyro's hand.

"I'm sorry master" hao told the figure.

The cloaked figure turned to the sorceress pyro and keyran.

"Leave us," the figure said.

The sorceress nodded and left with pyro and keyran.

"You caused quite a stir my boy" the figure told the boy.

Hao remained silent as the figure walked up to him.

"No matter we still have everyone we wanted" the figure continued.

"Yes sir" hao replied.

"Now we can into the last part of our plan into action. And with your brother and his friends out of the way nothing can stop us" the figure added.

To be continued.

Who is the cloaked figure what is his plan. And what have hao and Jordan got planed for Anna and yoh. Find out in the next chapter of island of heroes.
