Kento slowly opened his eyes. In front of his face was wood. He lifted
himself up a bit and relized he was sitting on a branch in a tree! In the
sudden reilization of where he was he lost his balance and fell.
"Kento! Are you all right?" Katie asked running
up to him.
"Oww... yea, I'm fine I think. Could ya help me
up?" Kento asked. Katie pulled him to his feet.
"I'm sorry sir, I have not had a lot of practice
in teleporting large groups." Kashikoi said bowing respectively.
"It's all right. but please call me Kento." Kento
replied.
"Yes, sir... I mean Kento. Please follow me. the
castle is this way." Kashikoi led the group through the thick forest and
soon came upon a grand castle.
"This is bigger then even the fairy tale castels."
Katie commented.
"This way." Kashikoi said leading them to the back
of the castle. He stopped at a wall and moved a small bolder away reveling
a small opening.
"You expect us to go through there?" Kento asked
eyeing the small opeining. Kashikoi nodded and slipped through with no
problem.
"It's all right Kento, just suck it in and squeeze
through." Katie said patting Kento stomach. White Blaze was the next to
go through and he was able to after streaching out all the way and sliding
in. The others went through effortlessly. It was Kento's turn and
he looked to the small opeining.
"Come on Kento." Ryo stated.
"Aww, man. I don't know about this." Kento
whined kneeling down my the opening.
"If Blaze can do it you can." Katie said looking
at Kento through the hole. Kento sighed and started through the hole. At
first his shoulders wouldn't go through so he tried to get one arm through
first. he got about half way through when he stoped.
"Come on Kento, your almost throught." Sage said.
"I ... I can't." Kento said as he stuggled, "I'm
stuck."
"Oh, great." Sage goaned.
"Come on. let's pull." Katie said as she grabed
Kento's arm. Cye grabbed his arm by the shoulder. They both pulled as hard
as they could, but he didn't budge.
"Kento, suck in your stomach." Cye commanded. Kento
did as he was told and just as he did he slid right through.
"Ow... that hurt." Kento complained. They entered
the castel through a small side down and walked through the many halls
that were contained in the castle.
"How much longer?" Kento asked as they turned down
a hall that was just like the several they had already been in.
"Is that all you know who to do?" Magma asked as
she took in her surroundings.
"And exactly why are you here again?" Kento asked
looking at Magma.
"You didn't expect me to stay home and miss all
the fun did ya? Anyways, you never know when you'll need an extra hand."
Magma stated. Kento was about to reply to that when they all turned a corner
and ran into a small goup of warriors.
"Kashikoi, what is the meaning of this?" One of
the warriors asked.
"Ah, Sir, I'm sory." Kashikoi said as he bowed quickly,
"Hurry this way." He then led them down another direction. "We must hurry.
We have no time to spare." He said as he started running down the hall.
In the throne room, the Queen and the General were planing what to do
next, when a warrior burst into the room.
"What is the meaning of this?" The queen demanded.
"Please forgive me. I have urgent news." The warior
exclaimed.
"Well, out with it!" The General ordered.
"The enemy is inside the sastle, and they are eing
led by Kashikoi." The warrior stated
"Kashikoi? But why?" The quen asked.
"Ojoo-sama!" Kashikoi yelled as he and the others
ran into the room. THey all stoped short when they saw the warrior they
had run inot erilier. Befor they knew what was happening several guards
appeared behind them and grabbed them.
"Ojoo-sama, please listen!" Kashikoi begged.
"Kashikoi, I do not understand your actions today.
I can only hope that they've somewho have takn control of your spirit."
The Queen respnded.
"No, it's not like that!" Kashikoi screamed.
"Guards! Take them all to the doungen!" The Queen
ordered. The gurads then dragd everyone in the group out of the room. Kashikoi
gave the Genereal a pleading look, but the General refused t omake eye
contact, and they were all trown in the dongen, all their belingins taken
away, in cluding their armor orbs, and White Blaze taken somewhere eles.
"ARRRRGGGG! WHy did we listen to HIM!" Kento yelled.
"Kento, settle down!" Magma yelled back.
"Please forgive me." Kashikoi begged, "I didn't
know it had gone so far."
"It's all right, we don't blame you." Rowen said
eyeing Kento.
"Maybe you don't" Kento grumbled ans stalked to
the other side of the cell.
"Kento, what's wrong?" Katie asked as she walked
over to where he was.
"Nothing!" Kento snapped.
"Kento..." Katie started.
"Katie, come on. Let's leave him alone right now."
Cye said as she led her away from him, "You know he likes to be alone when
he's mad." Katie nodded ans followed Cye to where the others stood. The
sun set behind the sastle as the last rays of light were let into the cell.
Relizing that there was nothing they could do they slept waiting for what
would happen next.
