Kimiko woke up with a pounding headache. Her whole body ached. Every hair on her head felt bruised. What happened? She remembers her winning the showdown, and how everyone was congratulating her. Then Chase said something about her being much more than that? That was all she could recall. Her mind was so foggy. She took a moment to observe her surroundings. She was in a cage. The long, slender, silver poles were about a half an inch to an inch apart. The cage looked tall enough to stand in. So, very slowly, she rose to her feet. Even they ached. She looked around, trying to decipher where she was. She could see desks and cabinets. The room was a gloomy color, dark blue maybe? It looked like a mad scientist's laboratory. Where was she? First she was in a jungle with her friends, then she fought in a showdown with Chase, and now what? She was in a laboratory in a cage? What was going on?

"I see you've awoken." a voice called out from behind.

Kimiko whipped her neck around, which caused a lot of pain, to see the dark figure. But her pain didn't show on her face. It was too consumed with shock and fear. About twenty feet away was a doorway that led just a little ray of light into the dark room. In the doorway, stood Chase Young. His arms folded and his gaze directed on her.

"What the hell is going on here?" she shouted.

"Now now, Kimiko. No need for foul language. After all, I am not going to hurt you." his voice trying to sound soothing. However, it sounded like a shriek in Kimiko's ears.

"Then why would you lock me in a cage in a dark room if you were not planning on hurting me?" she screamed again.

"Young dragon, you just don't understand. I shot you with that beam for a reason." All of her memories came flooding back to her now. She had won the showdown and Chase shot a laser light at her. It lifted her in the air and knocked her out.

"What did that laser do to me?" she demanded more than asked.

"It was not a laser, it was a shen-gong-wu." he corrected

"There hasn't been an activated wu that does something like this." she said pointing to her bruises.

"That is because it has not been activated yet. You see, I stole it from Dashi before he had a chance to hide it like the rest of the wu."

"Will you just cut the bull shit and tell me what it does already?" she demanded.

He laughed. "Why, your a feisty one aren't you? Very well, I suppose it is only fair that I share with you your fate. You see, the Tritant of Zeus has the ability to make any person become possessed by a Greek god. At first, I selected Omi. If he would be possessed by Hades, we would rule side by side, but then I saw your power. Your fire power is quite extraordinary." he explained pacing back and forth.

"I'm not in the mood to be flattered." she snapped. "I haven't been possessed yet." she pointed out.

"I have not called upon the spirit yet. All I must do is say its name." he stated.

"I've had enough of this. Judelette Flip, Fire!" she did two front flips and then shot a blast of fire out of her hands. It reached the metal poles and shot right back at her. She crumbled the ground, clutching her stomach, which had had the biggest impact.

"Oh, did I forget to mention that the cage is fire resistance? Any kind of heat bounces right back off." he smirked evilly. Kimiko glared him with pure hatred.

"You're despicable." Kimiko spat.

"That maybe so, Pele." he grinned cynically.

Kimiko's once sky blue eyes, turned a deep shade of red. "Hello, master." her voice music to Chase's ears.

Raimundo sat in his cubicle. Ever since they had gotten back from Guatemala, he hadn't spoken to anyone. Clay passed by his door then stepped back to look at him. "Dude, why are you so mad?"

"Why do you think?" he said bitterly.

"It is not your fault Kimiko was taken." Omi popped up, taking a bite out of his apple.

"That's not why I'm mad. At least I tried to save her. You all were standing there doing nothing!" he screamed.

"We were waiting for an order." Omi stated.

"Oh, so it's my fault for not telling you all to attack?" Raimundo screamed furiously.

"Well, partner, you are our leader. You should have called us to do Wudai Orion Formation or something." Clay said.

"I don't believe this. You all are blaming me because you all were too stupid to use your heads? Obviously, if one of our teammates is being kidnapped, then I want you to attack. Not stand around like a bunch of retards." his face was blood red and his eyes were bulging. He stormed out of the room and pushed by his teammates. He ran out into the garden, underneath the cherry-blossom tree. He put his hands in his pockets and looked up to the sky. It was light blue with maybe one or two clouds. But then, it changed. The sky turned a dark purple, and black clouds swam in. The whole Earth seemed to fall into darkness. Lighting began to strike. However this lightning was unique. It was the color of fire.
