"Kat! Help me!" Hart stared at Kat from where he was being dangled. Kat blinked, then snarled. She raced up to Girag, then blindly grabbed at Hart. Her opponent moved quickly, jumping out of the way and bounding out of the window. Hart shrieked as Girag hit the ground, then began running away. Kat peered out and scowled.

"Get back here!" Kat yelled. She didn't expect Girag to listen, however. The girl was smarter than that. Instead, she grabbed her Pikachu backpack and dove out the window after them, extending the ears into wings and soaring off into the sky. Girag looked up from where he was, then growled. He couldn't believe how much more coordinated Kat had become.

Not like it really mattered to him, though. Kat was not fast enough to catch up to him. Right?

Wrong.

"Give me back Hart!" Kat yelled, dive-bombing Girag. He ducked, then let out a confused and startled yelp as he tripped over a tree root. Hart was sent spiraling into the air, then landed on the ground with a thud. Before Kat could react and grab him, Girag was on his feet and running away with Hart in his grasp again. Kat once again was dive-bombing at them, making very little progress.

Man, she's persistent, Girag thought, jumping over bushes and skidding under tree limbs. She might actually be able to put up a good fight after all these years.

Kat soared up high into the air. Before anyone could react, she was practically falling down to the ground, but was aiming right at Girag.

Finally, she succeeded in hitting him.

"Take this!" Kat basically screamed it as she rammed into Girag's back. He tumbled down, sending Hart flying again as the two wrestled around. Kat watched out of the corner of her eye as Hart grabbed hold of a tree limb that Girag had ducked under only moments ago, holding on for dear life as he watched them fight. Girag was throwing punches, missing either on purpose or because he was afraid of what Kat would do if she caught them, and Kat was scratching him like there was no tomorrow with her nails. Both had blood from their scratches coming from one another. Hart couldn't believe it.

They were equals in power.

"What the hell were you thinking trying to nab Hart in the middle of the day?" Kat questioned, then screeched as one of Girag's punches sent her flying. She landed in the mud, soaking herself in it and the still pouring rain. The blue and brown-haired stood up with a wobbly fashion, then watched in horror as Girag grabbed Hart from the tree. He smirked.

"I'll tell you what I was thinking. Barian World can use the remainder of his power for our own needs in obtaining the Numbers."

"But all of Hart's Barian Powers are gone. How would you pull that off?"

"They're not all gone. It just takes the right kind of powers to unlock what's left."

Kat let out a defiant growl. She balled her hands into fists, then attempted to get Hart back by throwing herself at Girag. Miss. With a thud and another splash of mud, Kat hit the ground. She groaned and sat up, then gasped. The sky had blood red lightning in it again, and Girag was in his Barian Form. Kat let her mouth go agape as she tried to stand. Girag let out a laugh, and with a defiant cry from Hart, vanished back to Barian world.

"No! No come back here!" Kat screamed it, finally breaking free of whatever grip Girag had on her and flying into the sky. She growled upon realizing there was no way to make that tactic work, then floated down to the ground. Tears slowly began to stroll down her cheeks. Kat couldn't believe she'd allowed Girag to escape with Hart! How pathetic, she thought. The blue and brown-haired girl looked up at the sound of an engine. Kite hopped off Orbital, who had been in motorcycle mode, and stared at everything.

"Where's Hart?"

"T-The Barians have him."

"What?!" Kite took a few steps towards Kat. He forced her to look up at him, then stared right into her emotional cat-green eyes. "Which Barian took him?"

"..."

"Kat. Which Barian stole my little brother?"

Kat looked up at the sky. She blinked, then spoke in an almost silent tone.

"It was Girag. My older brother."
