Deep in the city, in the Masters chambers. The kids stood in front of the master, Makoto holding Jun, Mike holding Ami, and Erika and Seth in front of them. "What do you want with us?" Erika yelled at the dark shadow in front of her. "My arn't we spunky. I brought you here for bait. Now the wearers can't just come storming in fighting. They have to be carefull because your here." The Master replied, "Take them to the dungen." The gaurds and the kids dissapeared. "Well, it looks as though we didn't kill all of his family. But, maybe that is a good thing." The Master said and then started laughing as an evil plan started forming in his mind.

The soldiers pushed the kids into the cell causing them all to fall to the floor. "Is everybody all right?" Erika asked standing up. "Yea we're fine." Makoto answered helping Jun up. "It always amazes me how low an evil entity will go to win" A voice said coming from a dark corner in the cell next to them. "Who's there?" Seth asked standing in front of everybody. "It's all right. You needn't be afraid of me. I'm a friend." The voice replied. "How do we know that?" Mike asked. "Because I'm friends with anyone that is against the 'Master'." The voice answered. "How long have you been here?" Makoto asked. " Oh, about 76 years. May I  ask your names?" "Why not? I'm Erika. This is Seth, Makoto, Mike, Ami, and Jun." Erika said pointing to each one. "Jun?! Could it possibly be?" The voice said in shock. "What are you talking about?" Mike asked. "Come closer, Jun, let me see your face." Jun started to take a few steps forward when Erika stopped him. "Don't do it Jun, we still don't know who he is." "It's all right Erika, I can see him from here. It is true. They weren't all killed." The voice said quietly in almost a whisper. "Like I said before, What are you talking about?" Mike almost yelled. "OH, please forgive my rudeness. Jun, do you remember how your great grandfather died?" "My grandfather always told me that when he was four that his father left them to go find some old friends. He was never heard of again." "That is right. Your greatgrandfather came to the city to find his old friends, but instead I was caught and doomed to live eternity in this cell." The voice said walking from the shadows to reveile himself for the first time. "How, Your too young." Mike said in amazement. "I've remained the same age as when I was captured. I've become imortal living here." He explained. "I can't beleive it. You look just like Jun, well exept older." Seth said looking between the two. "I can't beleive how much Jun looks like me when I was his age." he said kneeling down so he was face to face with Jun, "How long I've wondered if I had any grandchildren. I bet you would love riding Byakuen." "I do. I always play with him." Jun said with a smile on his face. "You, you know Byakuen?" He asked surprised. "Yea, he usally protects us when everybody else is fighting." Erika explained. "Everybody else? who exactly is everybody else?" "Well, Katie, Matt, the Masho, and of course the Troopers." Makoto answered. "The Troopers are awake?!" "Yea, Katie found each of them. And then after she turned evil and then good again her and Matt freed everybody from the dungen." Jun explained. "A lot has happened. My guess is that everybody will be on there way here to rescue you. I will finally be able to see my Onii-chan again." "Your, Onii-chan. Who is that?" Mike asked. "I called all the Troopers Onii-chan. But I guess now I'm older then they are, arn't I." *Jun* said laughing.

In one of the desserted streets of the City the group of warriors are surrounded by a dark dence fog. "Man, how are we going to find anything in this fog" Shu complained. "Well, maybe when we get close enough they just raise it like Arago did." Ryo joked. "Um acually, I was the one that convinced him to do that. It was a trap, remember." Rajura stated. "How could we forget." Seiji said glaring at Rajura. Then as if on cue the fog lifted. "Whoa, talk about weird." Shin said looking around. In the distance, on top of a building stood Kichigai with two soldiers holding Jun. Katie started to attack when Matt held her back,"Katie, stop it has to be a trap." "He's right it's just an illusion." Rajura stated,"Look around theres more then one of them." "Are any of them real?" Shin asked. Rajura took a few minuets to study each of the figures. "No, none are real." "Then were are they?" Katie asked. "Normaly I wouldn't say this, considering what's happened in the past , but I thik we should split up." Ryo said. "Rekka's, right we can cover more ground," Nazza agreed. "I think we should just split into two groups. Any smaller we may get into trouble." Touma suggested. "All right, Shin, Shu, Anubu, Rajura, and Katie in one group. Everybody else with me." Ryo instructed,"Katie, you guys go int the subways ans see if you can find the kids. The rest of us will look up here." Everybody agreed and split up.

In the subway. "Ok, now where do we start looking?" Shu asked. "This way, all the doungens are in the center of the City" Katie responded heading down one of the tunnels.

After a while of running. "We've been running around for the past hour. When are we ging to find the doungens?" Shu complained. "Well at least that little braty kid isn't here to slow us down, or to get in trouble." Anubus added. "Hey, Jun wasn't bratty."Shin defended, "He was a good kid." "He is." Katie said as she stopped. "Katie what are you talking about?" Shin asked as everybody else stopped. "Yea, come on." Shu said growing impationt. "No, were goin the wrong way" "What, we've been running for an hour and you just now relized we were going the wrong way?" Rajura asked. "If we were going to the dungens." Katie explained," We were going the right way,but we don't want to go to the dungens." Katie finished and started running in a different direction. "Well come on. This isn't the time or place to get seperated." Shin said following Katie.

After awhile of running, "Katie what are you doing. You led us to a dead end." Anubus growled. "It's not a dead end. It just looks that way." Katie said walking toward the wall. "She's right, It's an illusion." Rajura confermed. "They did this so no one would know there were cells around here." Katie explained. "Why would they put cells away from the doungen?" Shu asked. "To hide someone who knew a lot about the yorois." Katie answered. "Who could that be? Nasuti knew the most and she's dead." Shin stated. "Quiet, there are gaurds on the other side. We have to rush in and surprise them." Katie instructed, "On the count of three. 1....2.....3!" Everybody rushed into and through the wall. They appeared in a dark hallway that contained a few cells. Shu and Anubus were able to take out the few soldiers that were gaurding the prisoners. "Katie! Your here." Erika said running to the bars. "Of course I'm here. Shu, break open the cell." "I'm right on it." Shu said walking up to the door. He took his niginata and started slamming it into the lock, after about the fourth time the door gave up and swung open. "All right everyone out." Shu instructed as he held the door open. Katie then looked to the one of the other cells, "Shu smash the lock on that cell too. "Why, nobody's in it." Shu asked. "Yea there is. You'll see." Jun said with a smile on his face. "All right if you say so." Shu opened the door the same as the other. "Now what?" Shu asked. "Now Jun can come out." Katie said smiling. "Katie what are you talking about? Jun is right there." Shin said with a confused look on his face. "She's talking about me Shin-ni-chan, Shu-ni-chan." Shin and Shu just stood there with their mouths wide open. "Jun?! Y..your still alive?" Shu stuttered. "How, you'd have to be over a hundred years old, and you don't look over 30." Shin said in amazement. " I was captured when I was 32. By staying here I've remained the same age." *Jun* replied. "Come on, you can have your reunion another time. We have to go meet with the others." Katie said motioning to the wall. Everybody took the cue and walked through it.

Back up in the city, "I wonder if they've found the kids yet?" Matt asked. "I don't know. But I wish something would happen. We've been wandering around here for at least a couple of hours." Seiji complained. Byakuen started to growl and let our a loud roar. "Byakuen, what is it?" Kayura asked looking around. From the shadows of the buildings emerged several soldiers. "Well, you got your wish, Korin" Naza said in amusment. "Byakuen protect Kayura."Ryo said as he blocked a blow from one of the soldiers. Byakuen nodded and took a protective stace in front of her. Ryo, Seiji, Naza, Touma, and Seiji were all fighting against at least eight soldiers each. Byakuen protected Kayura as much as he could, and Kayura was able to protect herself the rest of the time using the staff. Kichigai was watching the battle from the top of one of the buildings. "Hmmm, They seem to have gotten stronger. I guess that's what happens when you work as a team." He said to himself. One of the soldiers was able to sneak up behind Ryo and was about to give him a hard blow when,

"ChyouRyuu Ha"

Shin's attack dystroyed the soldier. "Thanks, Shin" Ryo yelled at his friend. "No problem. Let's finish this up." Shin yelled back. Everybody was attacking the soldiers now and they were finished out in no time. "Hey, glad you made it back." Ryo said greeting Katie and the others. "Yea, and we found an old friend too." Shu replied jestering behind him. *Jun* walked up to were everybody could see him. "J..Jun!?" Ryo stuttered. "Ryo-ni-chan, Seiji-ni-chan, Touma-ni-chan I'm glad your all right." *Jun* said walking up to the wide eyed Troopers, "Byakuen, boy have I missed you!" Byakuen ran up and jumped up onto his old friend. "Looks like you can't knock him over as easy, can ya Byakuen." Shu said patting him on the back. Byakuen just smiled and licked Jun's face. A bright flash of lightning arced across the sky, "Well isn't this sweet, Enjoy your little reunion. It won't last long." Kichigai stated and then dissapeared. "What do you think he ment by that?" Shu asked. "The final battle has begun, Shu-ni-chan, the battle has finally begun." *Jun* answered.

HIYA!

How about that for a surprise, Two Juns.

I wonder what will happen next?
