We set off towards the temple... and after many hours of travel we arrive,As I approach the door it opens...
"Red ... welcome back..." Syno says as he comes up to me.
"Thank you Syno." I say. Then I start to tell him what we want to do... After explaining the stance of my army he says "I see... Well I see that this army fights for the right cause I would like to welcome you to join up with the guardians but I think it will be up to Aqua, Since you were gone she took over the responsibility as leader... If she accepts your return you will be lead again."
"What do you mean he has an army?" Aqua asked as she put the book she was reading down.
"It seems that the darkness the true darkness played us like a flute we killed a man that was confused about who was his enemy." I explained with Jen'Mode at my side.
"This doesn't make sense." Aqua replied confused.
"Where is Cin'Lone and Le'Bele?" Jen asked as she took a seat next to Aqua.
"The springs relaxing from a day from training, you still don't trust him do you Windra." Aqua said then turned to me and asked a question I couldn't anwser.
"I don't know what to do if what you say is true then he is doomed and I don't want us to be enemies." Aqua sighed as she gazed at the planets in the sky.
"I suggest we meet if Red and his team and hear him out..I mean what could it hurt? If he is our enemy then he wouldn't dare attack us here. The power of Atys, the Karavan, the Kami, and the Guardains, it would be insane to try and attack." Jen'Mode said with grin.
"Jen'Mode?" Aqua and I asked.
"I guess I still have my mother genes in me." Jen grinned even bigger.
"Excuse me..." A voice call from the doorway; we turned to see it was Syno. Red is here and he wishes to speak with you Aqua." Syno contiuned.
"Tell Red I wish to speak with him and his army in the grand hall about what has happen. I'll be there in a moments I need to get Cin'Lone and Le'Bele, also I want all the karavan and kami guardians there as well." Aqua explained in a firm voice as she placed the book in her bag and left the garden.
"As you wish Aqua." Snyo replied and left to get Red.
My mouth was wide open as was Jens as we look at eachother. We have never seen Aqua act so commandish. "Best we help her." I said as I snapped out of the shock.
"Ah aye." Jen replied and followed me out the garden door

After a bit... Syno comes back and tells us all to enter and follow him... So we do... As we are walking Lui'kin comes up next to me...
"Red... Do you think we will be able to join up with them?" he asks.
"I hope so..." I say
"If so I say we move on Kin-Daï right away since Lui'kin knows the way."Fei says.
"That may not be the best course of action." I reply.
"What why?"Fei says.
"Think about it ... when I last met him he was far to powerful for me ... and now because the guardians don't trust who I have joined with ... I am sure they don't trust me... There is no way we could win." I say.
"But we have an army with us too." Fei says.
"Yes... and he has a larger one." I say.
"Hmm... Ok I guess you're right." Fei says.
"And you are my guardian? I am so doomed." I say. Lui'kin and Syno both start laughing hard,along with Eve,Wes,Manny and DJ.
I see you are all listening in" I say as they all laugh even harder.
"Bah all of you."Fei says then starts laughing... " I was just anxious."
Everyone laughs ... Then Syno speaks up... "Here we are,Aqua will be here in a moment."
"Ok thanks Syno." I say and then lead everyone into the room...
"Red... Perhaps I should speak for the Army."Lui'kin says.
"Hmm? Why if I am leader..." I say but he cuts me off...
"Its not that, Its the feelings you have towards Aqua... They may affect your judgment a bit."Lui'kin says.
"I uhh what are you talking about." I say.
"I am Kami remember."Lui'kin says with a smile... "And I have been with the Army longer then you ... I know them better."
"Ok... You can speak for the Army... That doesn't mean I'll be quiet tho!" I say with a grin.
"I know,you want to talk to her."Lui'kin says with a grin.
"Thats... I ... Bah..." I say and everyone laughs at me... Then I hear someone enter the room...
"Good day Redslayer you and you group are wanted my Lady Aqua, follow me." A femal Karavan said as she walked up to Red.
"Please call me Red..." Red began but was cut off.
"Please follow me." The female said and began to walk through the hall. The hall was decorated with lamps and paintings of great homins. After a few moments of walking the group came to a grand Tyker table where all the guardians sat chattering amoung themselves but quickly stopped then Red appeared.
"Please have a seat." The female said again then walked off.
"Red it's been awhile." Aqua said with a warm smile.
"Yes to long, I'm sorry I left but I have good reason." Red began.
"I'm fully aware of why you left but I must say that you say has turned our views upside down. Le'Sindo has gone to Jena's Eternal Plain to speak with MoNikaCan and LaBornSo about what happened. " Aqua explained.
"Yes he started those armies to stop the real Dark ones." Red began but Le'Bele cut him off.
"Then why did he turn on us!" Le'Bele snapped.
"He went insane when LaBornSo died." Windra sighed.
"Windra is right but I want to hear from your masters Red. This is all new to me, so please explained." Aqua said.

I fell into a Holy War, but now I know the true Darkness as returned
"My name is Lui'kin... I lead MoNikaCan's army after his death... We tried to follow the path he originally wanted ... but it wasn't possible with the increased hatred for the guardians... Many decided to stay with the dark ones instead of returning to MoNikaCan's original vision... The one he had before... Before LaBornSo's death...To stay alive we had to hide amongst the dark ones... When we heard that the new fighter guardian had been found... We began planning out our way to meet with him... But Kin-daï had other plans... He knew that some of the old followers would attempt to rejoin with the fighter guardian... He didn't know I was one of them... So I was able to keep our people safe..."
"So... How did The dark ones gain control over the Kitin?" Aqua asks.
"Son-ki...A karavan... He used to lead the army with me and MoNikaCan'... He used his Karavan powers to give them control over kitins... He hated the guardians because of the death of MoNikaCan'." Lui-Kin says.
"Oh I see..." Aqua says.
"Firstly I must say that... I am sorry for fighting against the guardians in the past... If you will allow us to join forces we can begin plans to destroy Kin-Daï."Lui-kin says.
"Whether you allow it or not.. I will follow the fighter guardian to death if I need to." Wes says.
"I will follow him to any battle anywhere." Manny says.
"I too will follow him to the ends of Atys." Eve says.
"I'll follow him too... Whether you guys like it or not." DJ says.
"And ofcourse, I am by Reds side till he dies." Fei says.
"A series of unfortunate events led to us being enemies... But I guarantee you... You can look over everyone of these homins in this army, Not a single one has faced you in battle since the time of MoNikaCan." Lui-kin says.
"Aqua... Please make the choice you think is right... Don't let me effect your choice... I would never hold it against you... And Windra, I can see that you have doubt... If you should trust me or not... But Have *I* ever betrayed you? Not the previous Fighter guardians... They are not me... Have I ever given you a reason to truly not trust me? I can understand your doubt about this army... But I feel I can trust them... I know I can,No matter what happens you are all my friends... My family." I say then I walk away...
"Red where are you...." Lui-kin says but I cut him off.
"I am going to the garden ... Let me know what the decision is." I say.
As I enter the garden I hear someone say something from near the fountain...
"Red... You seem so sure of what you are doing right now." The voice says.
"Do I?" I ask.
"Yes you do... But you are not are you?"The voice says.
"No I am not really... how have you been Sen'ye?" I ask.
"I have been ok. Thank you for asking... What will you do if the guardians do not join with you and your army?"Sen'ye says.
"I don't know... If I wanted to attack them now would be perfect... I am already past the defense of the temple walls... But I wont... I'll just leave."I say.
"I see." Sen'ye says.
"Then I will wait until the Guardians move on Kin-Daï finally and I will move at the same time... And I will help them as much as I can then..."I say.
"That is a pretty good Idea... But what if when they see you coming they attack thinking you are an enemy?"Sen'ye says.
"Well ... I would wait until they were well engaged and attack from a different direction... But if they still attacked us I would ignore there attack and go for Kin-Daï." I say.
"You have learned alot Red...Are you ready to duel me again?"Sen'ye asks.
"Yes." I say.
"Ok" Sen'ye says as the garden turns dark and the door disapears..."Lets go!"Sen'ye shouts as he attacks me...
He swings... I dodge... He swings again I dodge again... Then his claws glow yellow and he launches a blast that launches me backwards... He comes behind the blast and tries to slash me but I draw my sword and deflect his attack... "Very good Red." He says.. "Thanks." I say. Then he launches another blast and ports behind be and slashes me ... But I disappear before he hits me... Then appear behind him and slash him... He jumps foreword out of the way then turns around and blast at me again...
"I know you can fight better then that." I say.
"And so can you...Do not hold back ... We cannot die here." Sen'ye says.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yes,So fight like you mean it... When one of us falls we will be back in the garden."Sen'ye says.
"Ok" I say as I transform into my guardian form... And my sword turns to the Atys blade...Sen'ye' claws glow yellow... I run at him... I swing my blade he slashes my sword and knocks it back then slashes my arm... I blast him back ... He does a back flip and lands on his feet and as soon as he touches the ground flies towards me... I raise my sword to block... He launches a blast and it explodes as it hits my blade... I jump back away from the dust... As he comes out and tries to slash me with both hands.. it leaves a X shape cut deep in the ground... He runs at me super fast and side steps quickly to the right and then darts at me with a combo of slashes... I block several of them but then as I try to slash he runs up the blade of my sword and kicks me in the face ... I stumble back and drop my sword.
"That is not so good for you Red." Sen'ye says.
"No worries." I say as I prepare to fight.
"No weapon?"Sen'ye says.
"I wont need one." I say with a grin.
"I see." Sen'ye says then runs at me...
He kicks high... I block with my left arm and hit him in the face with my elbow... He jumps back then runs at me again... He side steps quickly again... This Time I side step with him and knee him in the stomach... He flies back and hits a wall... Then I say a short chant and my hands begin to glow... One with fire the other with wind ... Sen'ye comes out of from the hole in the wall so fast he looks like a blur... He swings with his claws glowing yellow... I block with my left arm and punch him with my now flaming right hand and launch a huge blast of fire... Sen'ye lands 20 meters away on his back...
"Done?" I ask still in a defensive stance.
"Very good Red..." Sen'ye says... Then stands up and launches a huge blast of wind and ice at me...I make a shield of fire on my right arm and block the attack... Everything around me is now frozen solid... I look around at it for a second...
"Your first mistake."Sen'ye says as he slashes me.
I fall to the ground ... He jumps up and comes at me with his claws glowing bright yellow.
"Your first mistake." I say as I blast him back into the air with wind from my left hand. Then I charge up a blast of fire and wind... and aim it at the spot which he will land... "Game over" I say as I launch my blast. "Goodwork... I should not have given up my foothold..." Sen'ye says right before the blast hits him and explodes...
A moment later we appear back in the garden.
"Excellent work Red."Sen'ye says as he bows.
"Thank you." I say as I bow.
"You have learned much... But you still have much to learn. When you reach your true potential I wont be able to touch you," Sen'ye says.
Then a few moments later I hear the doors to the garden open...
The female Karavan from before came into the garden and beconed Red back to the grand hall. Red bowed to Sen'ye then followed the female to the grand hall.
"They don't trust me do they?" Red asked the woman as they walked to the grand hall.
"It's not my area to say I'm just a Karavan that helps the guardian but I won't be surpised if they don't trust you at all. " She replied keeping her gaze forward.
"I guess." Red sighed.
"Here we are Red." She said as the doors open.
"Thank you." Red said with a bow and walked back up to the table and took a seat.
"Red you're back good let's contiune this meeting, All the guardains wish to speak." Aqua began.
"Red you left us to help homins that may be our eniemies. This broke a valueable trust that is no easily earned back." Le'Bele started.
"I know and I'm fully aware of what I have done." Red replied not showing any fear.
"It's hard to believe what you say about MoNikaCan and his army since he killed his friends and in the end caused a guardian against guardian battle that destoryed a city. It was a lucky break that no one died when the city of Silan was destoryed but still. We have even looked for information about that battle and the age it took place but the cubes were lost or destory by Kittin. I some what believe you Red and you have never given me any reason to disbelive you, you even helped defend the Sacred Circles outpost." I explained.
"Red slayer you have helped Sen'chi and me greatly in the past we have helped you as well so I speak for both of us when I say we stand by you." Jen'Mode said with a warm smile as did Sen'chi .
"I also believe Red and so does Windra but we just don't fully trust you and I know Le'Bele feels the same way." Cin'Lone said with warm smile as looked from Red then to me next to her.
"Aye." Le'Bele quickly added.
"Well Red you have our trust but we know little on about the Kittin lords so please tell us what you have plan. Also let me welcome you back RedSalyer the Fight Guardain all of your allices." Aqua said with a grin and extended her hand as did the other to hand hands with their new allices.

I fell into a Holy War, but now I know the true Darkness as returned
I smile at everyone... Then I start to explane what out current plan is...
"We cannot beat Kin-Daï now,We would all die." I say but Windra cuts me off.
"How do you know Red?" Windra says.
"Because first off at the moment we don't have full trust amonst us all .. and we will need it to fight well enough to win."I say.
"Sounds right to me." Aqua says with a nod.
"Second off we need to get organized and plan the attack to a T or we will still lose... We are outnumbered... It will not be easy at all... And... It is quite possible that we will lose quite a few lives in this fight..." I say then look at Aqua... "I don't want to lose the people that mean most to me." I say.
"So you don't really have a plan at the moment?" Windra asks.
"How can we plan...When we have no idea how we will work together." I ask.
"But we have." Windra says.
"By we I mean the guardians and the army behind me." I say.
"Ah... Good point I guess." Windra says with a laugh.
"However ... Lui-Kin know the location and three entrances... We will make use of all three." I say.
"Ah so there is a plan... well sorta." Windra says.
"Yes sorta." I say as I laugh... "We will have three teams..." I say then I lay a map down on the table and start pointing out locations..."Team one will enter here and will be a mid size team... This is where they will be expecting a main force to come from... Team two will enter here... And will be the a small team... The entire range squad will be in this team,They will be mostly a destraction for team three... Which will enter here and be our main attack force... Team three will push directly towards the stronghold and Kin'Daï ... Team three will enter alittle later then team one and two... If we don't time it right there will be to much resistance for team three to effectivly reach Kin'Daï." I explane.
Everyone stares and listens ... then as I finnish Aqua says..."Wow thats a pretty good not finnished plan."
Then everyone laughs a bit...
"Well thats really about it for now..."I say.
"Ok Red."Aqua says.
"I am sorry I left you Aqua." I say then I leave the room before she can respond.
