So, the rest of the day will remain heavly foggy. It is expected that you will only be able to see ten feet ahead of you the rest of the day.

Thanks for the weather. And now for our top story. The City. One Hundred years ago it was known as Tokyo, the capital of this country. Now it is a place of death and dispair. Nobody in known to live there other then the criminals themselves. After a hundred years the City started to spead its borders last night. The blackness that covers the city has started moving north. It is not known why this is now happening. Those that have gone into the City to seek answeres have not returned....

"I wonder why it isn't going south too."Mike asked. "Because we're here. Katie promised us that she would never let anything happen to us. I think she's still trying to keep it." Erika explained. "I would of thought she would of forgot about us by now. I mean it's been a year." Mike said. "Katie wouldn't forget about us!" Jun exclaimed. "Jun is right. She had to chose between what she had beleived all her life and what she had beleived for two years and that was based on a lie." Makoto said. "Yea, I guess your right." Mike agreed,"I'd probably make the same choice too."

"Odorokasu, we have now taken over Tochigi city and Utsunomiya. We'll have Nikko by tommarow and the rest of the prefecture by the next day." Kichigai reported. "Very good. I'm sure the Master will be happy." Odorokasu stated. "I still don't see why we don't streach our border south also." Kichigai stated. "That is none of your buisness. I have my reasons." Odorokasu stated,"You are dismissed." "Yes, Sir." Kichigai sneered as he left. "Katie... " "Brother, I promised that they would be safe. You know that." Katie answered before he could ask the question.

Later at the Tower. "Brother, do you have any happy memories?" "Why do you ask?" "Oh, I was just remembering the times when I was with the kids." "Well, yea. When I got you back." "No, I can't be a memory because I'm still here. Think farther back." Odorokasu stared into space as he tried to remember sometime when he was truly happy. After awhile he found something. "I remember our parents." "What?! You always said that you didn't remember them." "I guess I just tried not to for some reason." "Well, what do you remember?" " I remember being at an amusment park. We were all having the greatest time. You most of all." "Why me?" "Well, it was your first time there. We rode all the rides that we could. And mom and dad won a lot of prizes for us. Afterwards, on the way home. You had fallen asleep. It was night already. I remember headlights. They were coming towrard us. I remember mom and dad screeming..." Odorokasu trailed off. "You remember the acident. That's why you forgot about them. You wanted to forget about the acident too." Katie said. "Katie, why do you always call me brother?"Odorokasu asked trying to change the subject. "Your not Matt anymore and I don't really care for the name Odorokasu." "You know lately, I havn't cared for that name either." "Really? why?" "I don't know. Maybe I just miss being called Matt." There was a bit of silence in the room. Finally Katie spoke up. "You know, I think the world has changed since we came here." "Why do you say that?" "When I was in the orphanage. They had a rule that siblings would never be seperated. And then when I started to live with the kids, everybody was glad to help me when they could. Wether it was with money or making sure the kids had what they needed. Nobody ever gave the notion that they didn't care." "Really?" Katie nodded her head."Maybe we've been acting a little to quickly lately. I mean If the world is really like that, then maybe we should...you know." "Your joking. Really?" "If you really want to." "Yea, I'm getting tired of this place." "Me too. Ok, I'll go and free the Troopers, Masho, and Kayura. You go to the throne room and get all the crystal orbs." "Ok, please be carfull." "You too, we don't have a lot of time." Odorokasu said as they seperated.

Down in the doungen. "Ninty-nine bottles of beer on the wall, Ninty-nine bottles of beer...." "Shu! SHUT UP!! That is the third time you've sung that song." Seiji complained. "What else am I supposed to do. It's sooo boring." Shu complained. Seiji and Shu contuined their argument. Ryo walked over to Shin who was sitting in the corner by himself. "Shin, what's the matter?" " I'm starting to wish that Katie did kill us." "Why?" "She was right. Waking up every morning to face our defete is a worse fate then death." "Maybe she was right. So what. We'll pull through this. We have in the past. We will now." "Ryo, get your head out of the clouds! We're stuck here! Who's gonna save us, Bayakuen." Ryo was struck by his words. Shin had never said anything like that to him. "Maybe he will. you can't give up hope, Shin." "I know, it just get harder everday to keep a hold onto it." By then everybody had stopped what they were doing and started paying attention to the conversation in the corner of the room. "Shin, you are strong. I know you can do it." Kayura said trying to make him feel better, "The Masho and I have made it this long, so can you." "Fortunatly, he won't have a chance." came a voice from the shadows. "What do you want Odorokasu."Shu demanded. "I did not mean it in a bad way. I have come to free you." Odorokasu explained. "Free us? It has to be a trick." Touma said. "No, it is not. Katie is in the throne room right now retreiving you crystal orbs. We have realized that it was us that was wrong, not you." Odorokasu said as he opened the door to the cell. "Please hurry, we don't have much time." Nobody moved. Finally Shin stood and proceded to the door." Come on. I feel we can beleive him." "Shin, are you going crazy on us or something." Shu asked worried. "No, I just feel that we can trust him." " I agree with Suiko" Anubus added walking to the door. Finally with a couple protestes the rest followed.

In the throne room. "There they're all safe in this case. Now to meet with Brother." Katie said as she placed the last orb in the wooden case she had grabed. "Just as I thought. I knew you couldn't be trusted." a voice came from behind her. "Kichigai!" Katie said as she spun around to face him, "It..um.. it isn't what it looks like." "It looks like your trying to steal the crystal orbs." "Ok, so it's what it looks like." "Tisk, tisk. It looks like the bad little warrior has turned good. I'm glad I called the Master here." "WHat?!" "Oh, yea. I asked for him to come and check up on you two. He should be her any minuet." Just as he said that the room turned back to its shadowy darkness as the Master entered the room. 'Brother, help' Katie thought to herself.

In the subway. Odorokasu was about to teleport with the others when he had a stange feeling. "You go on without me. I have to check on Katie." "All right just be carefull." Ryo said. "You must hurry and get the orbs back to us. If we are too far away from them we may die, They will try to seperate theselfs from us. And the only way to seperate the armor from a wearer is to kill the wearer." Kayura explained. "I promise to hurry." Odorokasu said as he teleported away. "All right. Let's go." Ryo cammanded and everybody teleported out of the subway and to the house.

Back in the throne room. "Katie, why this sudden change?" The Master asked. "I've relized the truth that I've always known."Katie said as she put her armor on. "Well, that is too bad. I really did like you. Now you must die." with that he blast a jet of pure power at her. Katie braced herself for the impact. Instead one came from the side as she was pushed out of the way. "Brother!!" Katie yelled as she saw him get hit by the blast. "Oh, you to,Odorokasu. That is a shame. I think I'll be taking that armor back now." Odorokasu started to yell as his armor was torn from him. "That's it. I've had enough." Katie yelled. "Oh, are you going to teach me a lesson?" The Master asked in mock tone. He shot another blast of energy torward Katie and she was once again thrown to the side my her brother. "NOOOO!!" He was thrown to the floor. Katie ran over to him. "Brother, Brother. Please don't die. Please." Katie said as she leaned over him. Unfortunatly it was too late. Katie layed the case that contained the orbs next to him and stood up. Anger flared in her eyes like never before. She pulled the Katanas from her back and snapped the hilts together.

"Sou-En-Shin-Kuu-Gan-Tes-Rai-Kou-Chou-Ryuu-HA!!"

Katie's sure kill blast its way to the Master.

At the house. "Bayakuen, what's the matter?" Jun asked as the tiger ran out the door. The kids went outside to see what was going on. To their amazement. All the Trooper, Masho, and Kayura lay on the ground. Erika went over to Ryo. "Are, they alive." Makoto asked. "Yea, bearly." Erika replied.

A few minuets later. A figure carring something, or someone appeared out of the fog. As it came closer they could tell it was a warrior, but not just any warrior. It was Katie. She stopped about five feet away from the group. She kneeled and placed the body she was carring on the ground, his cape covering his face. She picked up a wooden box and opened it reveiling the nine crystal orbs. The orbs shot from the case into the air. They circled around and around for about a minuet creating a light show. Finally they settled above their respective wearers. The Kanji appeared on the orbs and the wearers foreheads. In a few seconds they were all waking up donned in their subarmors. "What happened." Shu asked as he sat up. Everybody looked to Katie. She had a spaced out look in her eyes. She blinked and they began to focas on the group before her. Katie looked into each of their eyes. Her eyes spaced out again."Gomen ne." Katie spoke slowly and softly, then closeing her eyes she fell forward. Her armor disapearing, leaving her in a pair of pants and a shirt. "Katie!!NOO!" Jun yelled as he ran to her. Erika stopped him and kept him away from her. Erika looked to Seth and he knew what to do. He went over to the two bodys and felt for a pulse. First on Katie then on the other body. There was none. Seth looked up and slowly shook his head. Jun hid his face in Erika's shirt. "No, it is not their time." Kayura spoke as she stood up. The shakujo appearing in her hand. The shakujo started ringing as two figures apeared in the fog. As they came closer they were recognized as Shu'ten and Kaosu. "Kayura is right. It is not yet time for them to go. They are still needed here." Kaosu spoke. Shu'ten held his hand out and in it was the crystal orb for the Chikyuu yoroi. Kayura's subarmor started to glow a yellow and the Kanji for Loyalty appeared on her head. The orb in Shu'ten's hand also started to glow. Kayura's crystal orb appeared in front of her. She pointed the staff to the second body and the orb headed to it. The Chikyuu orb headed torward Katie. Katie's body started to glow the brown as the second body glowed the yellow. The body's were lifed up by the power of the yoroi the Kanji of Honor and Loyalty glowing on their forheads. For the first time the face of the second body was shown. "Odorokasu!" Nazza yelled in surprise. "No, Nazza, he is nolonger Odorokasu. He is now Matt the barer of the Oni yoroi. And Katie now bears the Chikyuu yoroi again." Shu'ten explained. "They will need rest. But they will be fine." Kaosu said as Katie and Matt were placed back on the ground. Then Kaosu and Shu'ten dissapeared. After they were gone Kayura colasped. The kids and the Troopers ran to where Katie and Matt lay on the ground, while the Masho ran to Kayura. Katie and Matt both groaned as they woke up. "What happened?" Katie asked. Before anyone could answer Jun ran up and huged her like there was no tomarrow. "Katie, I thought that I had lost you." Jun cried. "Jun what are you talking about?" Katie asked giving him a questioning stare, "Wait, Matt! Where is he?" Katie asked as she started to remember some. "I'm over here." Matt said as he sat up. "Matt! Your alive!" Katie yelled as she hugged him as Jun had hugged her. "What are you talking about? Of course I'm alive. Why wouldn't I be." Matt asked. "The Master took away your armor and you knocked me out of the way of a blast and took it yourself. When I checked you didn't have a pulse." Katie explained. "You were both dead for awhile." Shu stated. "What?!" Katie and Matt said in astonishment. "But how?" Katie was cut off by Touma, "Kaosu and Sh'ten gave Katie back her armor and Kayura gave Matt her's." "But, That means that Kayura is..." Katie trailed off. Everybody looked toward the group of four. Anubus looked back as gave a nod telling them that she was all right. "I thought the only way for the armor to be separated from the wearer was for the wearer to die?" Matt asked. "Normaly that is the case." Kayura said walking over to the group, the Masho following," Because I gave the armor to save his life I was not killed in the process." "But, Sh'ten did the same for you." Ryo stated. "That is right Ryo. The difference was that Sh'ten was already weak from many different reasons. I'm weak now but I'll be fine." Kayura explained. "What do we do now?" Seiji asked. "I say we charge into the city and defete that master." Shu shouted. "That's the same ol Shu." Katie said as the others laughed. Shin and Shu helped Katie and Matt into the house. Everybody rested that day, in preperation for what was to come next.
