"Magma!" Ryo yelled as he raced toward Magma and Rowen. It had been a day since they were separated and the appearance of Kento.
    "Ryo, are you okay?" Magma asked as he ran up to them.
    "I'm fine, but what about you?" Ryo asked looking at them both, but mainly at Magma.
    "I'm fine. My wounds have healed." Magma replied blushing a little. Ryo realized what he was doing and also blushed.
    "Have you seen the others any?" Rowen asked breaking the silence that had fallen.
    "Unfortunately, no." Tsukai answered as he joined them.
    "We need to head this way." Rowen said pointing to the north.
    "How do you know?" Magma asked standing just beside Ryo.
    "I have a feeling... I think Sage might be that way." Rowen stated.
    "Yea, I feel it too. Let's get moving." Ryo confirmed. They continued on their way through the forest.

    "Sage-san, we must keep going!" Kashikoi said as he jumped over a fallen log.
    "We have to slow down." Sage said turning to look in the direction they were coming from.
    "But if we slow down, the soldiers might find us." Kashikoi tried to reason.
    "And if we don't the others won't be able to find us either. Listen, I know they're behind us. We need to wait on them.
    "I will trust your jugement, Sage-san." Kashikoi said looking behind him nervoulsy.

    "What happened here?" Katie asked as she and Cye walked into a deserted village.
    "I don't know.  Looks like a fire, maybe." Cye replied walking into a nearby hut.
    "Look over there, that looks like the center of the fire." Katie said walking into said hut.
    "Becarful, you don't know how stable it is." Cye warned but Katie went into it anyways.  Inside was lined with tables burned and on their sides.  Broken glass was everywhere.
    "It looks like this was some sort of lab." Katie said picking up part of a beaker that was still intact.
    "But why would a kingdome like this have sience? They seemed to be powered by magic."  Cye commented.
    "We are." A voice spoke from the entrance. Cye and Katie spun around to find Sage and Kashikoi standing in the doorway.
    "Oh, jeeze, we thought you were them." Katie said putting her hand over her chest, "Don't scare us like that."
    "Kashikoi, why is this place filled with chemicals and things concerning sience, when this is a kingdom made of magic?" Sage asked taking the flask from Katie.
    "Sience was forbidden.  It seemed that everytime something was found to have a reason of exsistance other then magic, some of the kindoms magic dissapeared.  At one point in our history there was little magic left.  Then the current queen's forfather's brought magic back to the land and the happyness it created." Kashikoi explained.
    "So you do knew about anger?" Katie asked
    "Yes, even before this all happened we knew about anger and how dangerous it was."
    "Dangerous? How is it dangerous?" Cye asked.
    "I'm guessing that now, since the kingdom was a very happy place there wasn't any anger." Katie guessed looking at Kashikoi for an affermation.
    "Yes, and if anybody got angry the anger spread.  Tsukai and I did want to beleive that's what had happened, but now we do.  Anger started somewhere and then sperad to the point where it couldn't be controled, and it even took over the queen."
    "Hmm.. that doesn't make anything easy does it?" Katie said thinking.
    "So, we need to get the queen to realize it was the anger contrling her?" Cye asked
    "How do we do that?" Sage asked turning to Kashikoi.
    "My guess would be the same way we get Cye to unrepress." Ryo said from the door to the hut with Magma at his side, and Rowen and Tsukai behind them.
    "You made it back, Great!" Sage said hugging his cousin.
    "You had doubts?" Magma grinned back.
    "With you around, not really." Sage grinned back.
    "What do you mean getting me to unrepress?" Cye asked shocked by what Ryo had said.
    "Cye, you can't hide it.  We know your upset about Kento, but you force your self not to show it.  It's called repression." Sage explained.
    "I don't repress... do I?" Cye asked turning to Katie for an answer.
    "Afraid so, I do it too, so your not alone." Katie said giggling.
    "Ya know, maybe this is where the anger started." Rowen suggested looking at the remains of the hut.
    "It's possible.  This is the farthest village in the kingdom.  We cannot go anyfarther without risking danger from unknown land." Tsuyoi pointed out.
    "So, we have to head back toward the castle." Rowen commented.
    "And Kento." Katie added and looked to Cye who, for a second, had a depressed look etched on his face, "Don't worry Cye, we'll get him back." Cye forced a smile onto his face and nodded.
    "I know we will,"
    "Well, shall we go? I'm sure the troops will be on us any time now." Sage said looking outside of the hut.
    "Right, and right now, this is not a good place to hide." Ryo agreed.  The group of reunited warriors headed back to the woods and dissapeared into it's depths just as the soldier tore out  of them from the other side of the village.

    "Search all the huts.  Leave nothing as it was."  The commander shouted.  The soulders did just that and dystoyed what was left of the village.  The Ronin's and company headed back toward the castle, hoping to avoice the calvery close behind them.

    The queen sat on her throne, a veiwing portal on the wall beside her.  She laughed a bit at the picture she was seeing,
    "They think they can accopish something by comming back her, can they?  We'll see about that. Kento, darling," The queen called.  Kento who was standing next to her in the shadow's walked out and kneeled before her, "Get ready.  You will welcome them back." The queen laughed as Kento bowed and left the room.

    "The castle's right up ahead." Kashikoi informed them as they emerged from the caves.
    "How did we get back her so fast when it took a couple of days to get to wher we were?" Sage asked looking around.
    "Because the caves are laced with magic.  As we were walking we walked through several gateways." Tsuyoi explained, "Unfortunatlly that alerted them that we were comming."
    "We didn't have a chance.  It's now or nothing, and we've got to get Kento and your queen back.  Getting either would mean a victory." Rowen reasoned.
    "But if we do go against Kento, we can't fight him! Not with our armor's.  What if he get's hurt??!" Cye opposed.
    "Then we'll treat him.  We won't kill him. That's the last thing any of us would do." Katie said trying to look him in the eye, but he would allow no such contact.
    "Shin, all of us, we would agree that if we could not turn Kento without killing him and if there was no way to the Queen, we would die here." Ryo said softly.
    "Please tell me your joking!! If you do not kill him, we will." Kashikoi exclaimed, frightened by what he was hearing.
    "Kashikoi, I understand what they are saying.  If this had happened to me, would you have the will to kill me?" Tsuyoi asked trying to calm Kashikoi down.
    "I... I guess not." Kashikoi admitted hanging his head, "But I don't want to see this world given up on."
    "Neither do we, that's why we'll try everything in out power to save it." Katie explained.
    "Aww, what a touching speech.  Too bad it will never come true." Everyone looked up to see Kento perched on a nerby cliff looking down at the group, "I've been sent to welcome you back to the capital. And to make sure you never see it or your home again!"
    "Kento, what are you doing!! You have to think!!" Cye pleaded inching his way forward.
    "Cye, please be carful!" Katie yelled at him and started to go forward, but Sage held her back,
    "Let him try.  He may be able to get through to him."
    "Kento, why are you doing this? What has made you so angry?" Cye asked.
    "Cause, you have never been my friends.  You only act that way cause I wear the armor, but in reality you hate every cell in my body!" Kento exclaimed as he jumped down in front of Cye.
    "That's not true!  Kento, your my best friend." Cye countered looking right into Kento's eyes.
    "That's not true!! You hate me cause i'm Not Japaneses, cause I'm Chinese.  You hate it that I bug you in the kitchen, and snatch samplings of your foods!!  You hate me soo much, that you didnt' even help when I was in trouble!!" Kento shot back
    "THAT'S A LIE!! Kento, It's true that you are annoying when I'm trying to cook, but your the best taste tester I've ever had! You never hesitate to try anything, unlike other people I know!" Shin responed looking over his shoulder at the guys, "You've been there when ever any of us have needed you! And we helped you get out of that mess with the police in China Town, remeber!? Me and Katie did the detective work! But that doesn't matter.  All that matters now is that you come back to us.  Become the old Kento you were when we first came here."  Cye pleaded tears streaming down his face.  The cloud in Kento's eyes sarted to fad away as he realized what had happened to him, a tear falling down his face.

    The queen was watching everything on her viewer and didn't like a thing she saw.
    "Kento! Come back to me at once!! You are as weak as the ones that were foolish enought to stand up to me!! I will not let them get you!!" The queen roward as she teleported Kento back to the castle.
    "KENTO!!!" Cye yelled.
    "Cye, it's okay. You got through to him! It's what we wanted." Katie reasured him.
    "Now there's nothing blocking us from getting to the castle and the queen." Ryo added as they looked off into the distance at the castle.
