As they stood there the red hair lady that no one knew the name of quickly attacked Rea without another thought. As the boys went to help their comrade the dark warlords stopped them. Shiten was fighting Ryo, Naaza was against Shin; Anubis was against Seiji, while the last warlord Rajura was up against Shu. Toma was helping out any of the boys that needed help. He noticed that Rea had gotten up from the attack and started to fight the unknown female. He knew that she could take care of herself she had taken not only a self-defense class but also did martial arts.
Rea was fighting the unknown female and asked, "Who are you?"
The red head replied, "I am the dark warlady Kayia."
The two got into a deadly game that even Kayia was impressed the Phoenix girl was really good at hand and hand combat. Rea was hoping not to have to use her sure kill since she had no idea what will actually happen and she realized that with the armor she was more agile than anything which worked well with her power. She was not use to fighting with a staff that she had deemed was a walking stick with a ruby on top of it and sighed. After a few more martial art moves she knew that she would have to use her sure kill and moved her staff out in front of her and slammed it in the ground and screamed, "Shield of the Phoenix spread and protect!"
With the last word said a red light that formed a phoenix in flight and his wings were spread. It flew in front of me and what look like would protect me then started to send fire balls at Kayia while protecting me. I smiled when suddenly the dark warlords and warlady left a little bit after that.
Toma ran over to Rea with Ryo and Seiji right after him. Ryo wondered why Toma was so worried about his twin he could understand Seiji since he was their younger half brother but Toma wasn't related to them. When Rea woke up she smiled at the three men and asked, "Did we win?"
Ryo laughed and said, "Yes we won this battle but the war is far from over."
Rea nodded as she sat up with Toma's and Seiji's help.
That night Rea had fallen asleep with Jun cuddled up next to her and White Blaze as their pillow. Ryo looked at Toma and asked, "Toma what are you to my twin?"
Toma replied, "Rea is my girlfriend Ryo. We have been dating for three years now and both of our fathers are happy for the relationship. I'm telling you now Ryo, Seiji; I won't sit around and do nothing if you try to break us apart. Rea has a temper that had given her the reputation as the flaming goddess. When she gets really angry it looks like flames were coming off of her while she looks like a goddess at the same time."
Seiji nodded as he knew that women were the only thing that could scare most men to submission really easy and when it comes to a sister well you want them happy as long as possible. Ryo just said, "Toma, just don't hurt her I remember how hurt we were when mom and dad broke up. We were twins and it hurt us in the end."
Toma replied, "Don't worry Ryo I would never hurt Rea intentionally plus like I said she can be very scary when she gets angry she could kill me and no one would ever find the body."
Two days later they were back in Toyama were they had first met and were walking around wearily. Jun was holding on to Rea's hand and didn't look like he really wanted to let go. No one could explain why but ever since Rea was brought back from her sleeping place Jun wouldn't leave her side unless she was going to the bathroom or she had to fight off tin cans. Rea was having a bad feeling about Jun's parents. She was sure that they wouldn't be coming back alive and if that was the case she would fight to get custody of him. Jun felt like a son to her and she had seen enough of her dad's cases to be able to win custody if it came to that. She was glad that her dad was a lawyer and knew how to use the law to her advantage he made sure Rea knew the law in and out. She had already talked to Toma about adopting Jun if her feelings were right and he quickly agreed they already had an apartment that they had paid the rent for four months since they weren't sure when Arago was going to attack or for how long so they decided that if Arago wasn't finished off by then they would have one of them go and paid for another couple of months.
Right at that time Rea pushed Jun behind her and grabbed the spear that was thrown at her as she turned sideways to keep it from hitting her. She threw it back at the tin can and called on the armor of Phoenix. As they were all in armor Rea started to take out tin cans that came close to Nasuti and Jun, since her sure kill was more defensive then attack. All of a sudden she was thrown away from Jun and Nasuti. She looked up and noticed Kayia coming toward her. Getting up and in a fighting stance to show Kayia that her challenge had been accepted, as they started to fight Nasuti and Jun were trying to find a place to hide with White Blaze after them.
During the fight between Rea and Kayia there was only one word for it brutal. Rea was getting her ass beaten by Kayia. She glared at the red head as she once again stopped her swords with her staff; before Rea knew what position that she put herself in Kayia kicked her in the stomach, sending her into a brick wall. Rea fainted when her back hit the wall, Kayia walked over to Rea to see her passed out. She smirked as she grabbed her prey and gave the signal to the tin cans and they all disappeared with Rea.
Rea woke up chained to a wall that looked like a cell. She sighed as she tried to figure out how much room the chains gave her. It wasn't enough for her to do her idea which was to flip upside down and put her feet on the chains and put all of her weight on it. She wondered if Arago knew her too well to know that she could do it. She could tell that her feet didn't touch the ground so she wasn't sure what she could do to escape. She knew that she would have to wait and hope for the other Ronins to save her. Arago looked at the Phoenix and smirked he could use her against the ronins, since Naaza had seen her name in Nasuti grandfathers' lab with a contact number and ideas and questions on the Ronin armor meaning that she knew as much if not more info on the armors then Nasuti did. His only problem was how to make her agree to help him since she was too much of a goody two shoe.
Shiten was with Arago looking at the girl in the dungeon and was wondering what his master's plan was for the girl. He knew she was strong since he watched the battle between Kayia and Phoenix and was surprise on how the fight between those two was so fierce. He held respect for the Phoenix that was for sure she was a true warrior and fight with her true potential even if she didn't know it. He was sure that she was the strongest of the ronins.
Kayia went towards the cell and looked in she felt horrible at what it meant for the girl. She knew that the armor came from and she hated the ancient for making that armor. She had armor once it was known as Selfishness. She had fought as a spy on both sides both the dynasty and the ancient one. She didn't care who won the war since she loved to fight. But in the end after the ancient beat Arago he went up to her and defeated her and changed her armor to the phoenix armor and held the virtue of protectiveness but that came with a curse. She sigh she wish that she could save the girl from her fate and knew that she couldn't. The ancient knew that Kayia could never call back the armor as her own and if she tried to then she would have to fuse with Rea and that would start the curse but she knew that Rea couldn't use the offensive sure kill if she didn't fuse with the black hair girl. She was glad that the girl had a fighting spirit though.
The boys were standing there in shock when Kayia and the tin cans had suddenly disappeared with Rea. Toma was beyond pissed he had made a promise to always protect Rea and then this happens. He didn't want to be the one to tell Jun that Rea was kidnapped by the Dynasty the kid already lost his parents to them but to lose Rea would devastate him. Ryo looked at the group and didn't know what he should do he was the leader and he lost one comrade.
Seiji looked at Toma and said, "Toma I'll explain what happen to Jun. He needs to understand that we couldn't help what had happened and I can explain it to him easily."
Toma nodded as he tried to figure out why Arago would want Rea she may have been an unknown in this war but she wasn't all that special unless Arago knew of her connection to Nasuti's grandfather and the research of the Ronin armor.
As the five boys were on their way to find Jun and Nasuti an old man was watching them and sigh he knew that it wouldn't be long until the curse would fall on the Phoenix. Feeling pity for the girl that showed that much spirit and now would fall to prey of the one her armor came from was not going to be easy for her to tame. It was the reason he took the armor it was difficult for anyone to tame and it needed to be handled but he never expected the cruse that would be fall on the new barrier's of the armor. He didn't even truly knew what the cruse was but it was known that the armor had one if the true barrier and the new one fused together to be able to bring out the offensive sure kill.
The boys realized they would have to split up to find Jun and Nasuti and hopefully meet up with each other quickly. Each one of them met up with the two civilians and then had to hand them off again Seiji was the last one to help them and got them to safety. As they sat at the amusement park Seiji brought Jun over to one of the stands away from Nasuti.
He said, "Jun I have some bad news to tell you and the others agreed I would be the best to tell you. Rea was captured when we were in battle earlier. None of us could get to her in time and now we have to find a way to the Dynasty to save her and everyone else that Arago captured. I know how much Rea means to you so I wanted to be the one to tell you and believe me I want to save my older half sister just as much as I want to save your parents."
Jun was upset he knew that Seiji was telling him the truth since he could see it in the older man's eyes but he didn't have to be that blunt about it. Jun decided that the best thing at the moment was to take a ride on White Blaze.
In the Dynasty Arago had an evil smirk on his face he had done his research and now knew where the Phoenix came from and how to make the power come full circle all he needed to do was force Rea and Kayia together and he would have the Phoenix armor as Kayia would be the dominate owner of the armor. He just had to find a way to get Kayia to agree with the assessment and then he would be able to control the one armor that seemed to be stronger than all the others. Now he just had to wait for Kayia to arrive back with Shiten who were fighting the Ronin's again. He decided to at least get the Ronin girl prepped for the ritual he was sure that Kayia would like her armor back.
Out in the mortal world the boys were in a mist of fighting Shiten and Kayia. Kayia was taking on Shin and Shu as Shiten was taken on the other three ronins. He had been pumped energy from the neither spirits. Shu was already in a disadvantage as he couldn't call on his full armor thanks to Rajura who had him freaked out thinking that his armor was evil. As the battle progressed and they were able to get Shu to believe in his virtue justice once again and beat Shiten; Kayia had gone back to the Dynasty not being able to get close to Shiten to bring him with her.
Once back in the Dynasty Kayia was pissed the boys were good she would give them that but she was not sure if they would win the war with Arago. She was only working for Arago to get back at the ancient she may be Dynastian but she didn't believe in Arago's beliefs. She wanted the worlds to stay separate. Though she did believe that the barriers of the armor should have to give up the mortal realm and live in the Dynasty. Her only grudge was against the Ancient one and how he had back stabbed her in the first war.
When she got to the cell were Rea was staying in she was shocked to see that she wasn't there anymore. Naaza was standing by the door with a smirk on his face and said, "Kayia it's so good to see you Master Arago needs to speak to you immediately."
When she arrived in the throne room she had bowed to him when he sent the other dark warlords to get Shiten back to them. When the three dark warlords left he turned to Kayia and told her to follow him. As she was lead into a room where there was one table where she saw Phoenix strapped down to it she was in subarmor and she was trying to get out of the restraints. Kayia walked closer to Rea and noticed that her blue eyes were glowing with anger as she was unable to get out.
Kayia jumped when one of the tin cans closed the door leaving her alone with Rea and Arago. She had a bad feeling of what was about to happen here.
Arago said, "Kayia you have been faithful to me even if in the past you were a spy. You are also the only dark warlady who doesn't have armor besides Lady Kayura; so I decided to reward you since I found out that Phoenix here bares your old armor. I am allowing you to fuse with the little Phoenix here and become the dominate barrier."
Kayia laughed and replied, "You really think that is how it works Master Arago. It doesn't the one who is the dominate is based on who has the stronger will then the one that has less will only come out if the one that is dominate allows the weaker will one out or isn't capable to in a fight."
Arago not liking that Kayia wasn't doing as he had requested. He knew that there was only one way to get her to do it and started to electrocute Rea to the point where she was close to death and would only survive if Kayia fused with her. As he left and locked the two in the room Kayia was in a predicament she didn't want to fuse with Rea and start the curse, but at the same time she didn't want Rea to die. Kayia saw Rea for the woman she was now that the subarmor fell off during the electrocution. She could see that Rea was really beautiful she had curves in all the right places and had some muscles. She could see how she had Heaven's attention.
