The two groups take the time for the ronin warriors to make a full recovery. During this time the two groups begin to get to know each other better and a bond is begining to form.

Rune: So what was Cale like Sage?

Sage: Why do you want to know?

Rune: He trained us but never spoke about back then thatÕs why?

Wind: Kyra should have been back by now.

Lita: SheÕll be back once she found the last old warlord. So will Wise One and then heÕll reveal his face.

(Rune and Rose look at each other)

Kyra: That man just canÕt be found.

Rose: Your back where are the old warlords.

Kyra: TheyÕll be here soon.

Wise One: They should be right behind me.

Rita: Cale your back (Rita runs to Cale) IÕve missed you.

Cale: I told you that IÕd be back.

Rita: IÕm just glad to see you again.

Kento: I thought she doesnÕt talk unless itÕs important.

Lita: True expect for Cale. For some reason heÕs the only one that sheÕs continually talk to.

Wise One: If everyone is ready. (he lowers the hood so everyone could see his face. The whole room was silent until Ryo was the first to speak.)

Ryo: Anubis

(Rune slowly moves to Anubis and Rose just stands still in total shock. Rune reaches Anubis and lifts her hand to touch his face to make sure that he was really there while Rose starts to back up)

Rune: Is it really you?

Anubis: Of course it is Rune.

Rune: But I didnÕt get to you in time I saw you die.

Anubis: It took a while but you saved me when I woke up you were already gone. (Rose goes running out the door just as Anubis looks over to her) We must go after her she will be in great danger in this state.

Sage: Why?

Rune: Have him explain later.

Rowen: I agree because Ryo just ran after her.

In the forest Ryo is trying to keep up with Rose. Following behind them is Anubis and the others.

Anubis: Rune, Sora is one of Ling ChiÕs warlord and the first one sent here. IÕm going ahead to help Rose sheÕll need it in her condiction.

Ahead of the others Ryo is finally able to catch Rose. He grabs her arm causing her to finally stop running.

Ryo: What is up with you?

Rose (crying): If I was there he ... (Rose cries out) I should have been there for him.

Ryo: You have been blaming yourself why?

(A lighting bolt strikes and a boy RoseÕs age appears with love in his eyes. Rose doesnÕt even look in the boys direction.)

Sora: Finally I found you my love.

Rose (rollong her eyes): Not you again and I donÕt love you. (yells at the boy) Get it through your thick head we are not a couple anymore.

Sora: I get it this man is getting between us.

Ryo: He thinks weÕre together.

Rose (smirks): He has always been like this he even thought Cale and I were together at one point.

Sora: Princess please come back with me.

Rose: I have said no every single time before what makes you think IÕll say yes this time ... Armor of Volcano.

Ryo: Armor of Wildfire.

Sora: I am now the warlord of destruction a loyal warrior of your sisterÕs. I ask you one last time before I must force you to come with me.

(Anubis comes up from the trees)

Anubis: Quake with fear, (AnbisÕs attack hits Sora head on) Rose attack now.

Rose: Revenge of Volcano

Sora (as he disappears): IÕll have you one of these days.

(Anubis lands in front of Rose)

Anubis: Are you all right? (Rose falls forward and Anubis catches her just as the others reach them) We should take her back inside before more show up.
