School is in Session

"Wha... where am I?" Conren was confused. He was surrounded by a ghostly fog. "Am I dead? I... didn't feel pain... it must of been quick..." The fog began lifting and Conren could see something in front of it. He couldn't tell what it was. The fog lifted more and it became apparent that it was a person. The fog lifted more and Conren could make out that there were two people in front of him. The fog lifted enough for it to become clear. Sarruee was in front of him holding Mat's fist in his two hands. He had blocked Mat's earlier attack. Sarruee pushed Mat to a far distance. "Who are you?" asked Conren.
"They call me, Sarruee Blade."
"So you're Sarruee, well it's nice to meet you Mr. Blade."
"I assume you're a friend of Ravenne."
"That's right, and Kairu too."
"Take a break then, I'll take it from here."
"Sure thing, but Mat is strong."
"So am I." Conren went to pick up Ravenne then he went to sit down next to Tasu.
"So who's that?" asked Tasu.
"That's Kairu's and Ravenne's master, I think." said Conren.
"Interesting... how did he find us?"
"Who knows, lets just hope he can match up to Mat."
Mat and Sarruee both made and attack stands and stared each other down. "You'll see why they call me Sarruee Blade." said Sarruee.
"And you'll see why they call me He Who Knows Kung Fu." Mat gave a wide roundhouse kick towards Sarruee's head, but he blocked it with his arm. Mat then began throwing multiple punches but Sarruee blocked every one of them. Mat then gave a dragon palm hit. Sarruee grabbed Mat's wrist and threw him across the room, right into the wall. Sarruee then slide the air with his hand and created a blue crescent shaped energy blade. Mat barely dodged the blade as it cut right through the wall. Mat stood up and began to glow in golden energy. He put his hand back, then struck forward releasing a large beam of energy. Sarruee just stood there, then he blocked the beam with just one hand. "Are you just going to stand there?!" asked Mat. "Won't you put some effort?!"
"If you insist." said Sarruee. Sarruee struck the ground with his palm which created a shock wave along the ground that lifted Mat for a moment. Sarruee then ran up to Mat, jumped in the air, and did an elbow thrust on Mat's stomach which sent him back to the ground. Sarruee then picked up Mat by the ankle and slammed him into the ground several times before launching him through the same hole in the ceiling that Mat made earlier. Mat flew in an incredible distance.
"That was incredible!" said Tasu.
"How did you know where to find us?" asked Conren.
"There will be time for that later. Right now I see that Ravenne needs nourishment." said Sarruee.
"Oh yeah that's right. She lost her blood pack at the castle."
"Zesphere!" Zesphere appeared at the hole of the ceiling.
"Yes Sarruee?"
"Bring me the extra blood pack."
"Right away." Zesphere went off and after a moment came back with a medically sealed bag of blood. Zesphere threw it at Sarruee. Sarruee opened it and dripped the blood into Ravenne's mouth. Ravenne woke up during the feed.
"Huh? Master?" asked Ravenne.
"Relax and feed." said Sarruee. After finishing the blood pack, Ravenne stood up with renewed strength and received her color back.
"How did you find us?"
"We found Kairu laying on the snow. When we picked him up he woke long enough to tell me where you were. Then when we came to this area I saw the gap in the ground so I went to investigate. That is when I saw Mat getting ready to kill Conren."
"Wait who's Mat? How long was I out? And is Kairu Okay?"
"Kairu is fine. He's just sleeping in the helicopter."
"Did you see anyone else in the area that you found Kairu?"
"No, there was no one."
"Are you sure that he is our Kairu?"
"What do you mean our Kairu? Is there another one?"
"Never mind. I'm guessing you're here to discipline us right?"
"There'll be plenty of time for that later. Why don't you tell me what's going on here?"
"The short story, Wolfess is trapped somewhere in this base."
"Looks like I missed a lot." Tasu then got up.
"Enough with the reunion." said Tasu. "I'm going to keep moving. If you want to follow me Sarruee you're free to do so."
"You can get up?" asked Conren. "But you could have a broken bone, or even internal bleeding."
"I'm not stopping. Not so long as I can still walk."
"I guess I can't stop either. I'm in too deep."
"I'm going too." said Ravenne.
"This isn't your fight, leave this to Tasu." said Sarruee.
"This is everyone's fight. Tech Org threatens everyone." Sarruee and Ravenne stared at each other for a moment.
"Alright, let's go."
"Really?"
"Yes, let's go. You'll need my help." Sarruee looked up at the hole in the ceiling. "Zesphere, look after Kairu."
"No problem." answered Zesphere. The group of four went into the next room on a platform. The room had a large gap in the middle with a bridge over it that connected two platforms. The middle of the bridge was wide and round. On the other platform a door opened and out came a man with dark skin, red spiky hair, yellow sunglasses, demon horns, and a demon tail.
"Ah, Sarruee. It's been a long time." said the man.
"It's only been a few years Makihara." said Sarruee.
"How do you two know each other?" asked Ravenne.
"It's a long story." said Sarruee. "All of you better leave this to me, Makihara is dangerous."
"Sure thing Mr. Blade." said Conren.
"Whatever, but if you fail I'm next." said Tasu. Sarruee and Makihara began walking towards the middle of the bridge. When they arrived at the round center the bridge began to rotate and the two narrow parts of the bridge folded down.
"Like my arena design?" asked Makihara.
"I suppose it's alright. Now shall we begin?" Sarruee shot an energy blade at Makihara. Makihara grew demon wings and flew into the air. Makihara flew towards Sarruee with a fist held forward, but Sarruee caught the fist with his hand. Then with his other hand, Sarruee gave an uppercut to Makihara's stomach. Sarruee then kicked Makihara all the way to the side wall. Makihara then came back to the bridge and transformed. He retracted his demon features and his eyes became white with dark outline. He donned on a black cape and hat. He also pulled out a sword. Makihara then did multiple swings with his sword and Sarruee dodged them one by one. Makihara then did a powerful thrust, but Sarruee stopped the blade by grabbing each side with his palms. Then he removed the blade from Makihara's hands and equipped it himself. The blade that Sarruee held began to glow blue. Sarruee then fired multiple energy blades at Makihara. Makihara pulled out two swords and deflected each shot. Makihara and Sarruee fought with their blades for a while, clashing in quick strikes like thunder. With each strike Sarruee kept pushing Makihara towards the edge of the bridge. Makihara then pressed his watch and many panels on the walls of the room opened up and autoguns came out of every one of them. All the autoguns began shooting at Sarruee as he blocked the shots with his blade. Sarruee then jumped high up in the air and began spinning wildly. As he spun he launched multiple energy blades right on each of the autoguns, destroying them. "Is that all you have Makihara?" asked Sarruee.
"Ha, I've still got tricks up my sleeve." said Makihara. Makihara transformed again, this time putting on armor and a glass dome helmet. His head became the shape of a skull and he had a laser arm rifle. Sarruee launched an energy blade, but it shattered against Makihara's armor. Makihara then shot a laser at Sarruee's chest, knocking him off the bridge. Ravenne quickly flew down and grabbed Sarruee before he fell to his doom. Ravenne then brought Sarruee back to their side of the room.
"Master are you okay?" asked Ravenne.
"Looks like I won't be able to finish this battle." said Sarruee.
"I guess Tasu's up next." said Conren. "Hey wait a minute, where is Tasu?"
Ravenne looked around the room. "There, a door." Ravenne spotted an opened door at the edge of the platform.
"What?! He found the secret passage?!" yelled Makihara.
"That's right." Tasu appeared at the doorway where Makihara entered the room along with Wolfess and a blond guy wearing a red suit. "While you were busy with Sarruee I decided to save my sister and Lord Bryan. As intelligent as you are I knew you would have a way of getting across this room in case the bridge didn't work."
"It's just too bad you won't make it out alive." said Makihara.
"You're little plot is coming to an end." said Bryan.
"Ha, and I suppose Tasu will stop me? Ha!"
"Actually, I was thinking my sister could take it from here." said Tasu.
"You've got to be kidding me, a princess is going to stop me?"
"Don't underestimate me." said Wolfess. Wolfess flew onto the bridge and held her parasol tightly.
"So be it, I'll just make an example out of you!" Makihara pointed his arm rifle forward and shot a laser. Wolfess opened her parasol and stopped the laser cold.
"Allow me to show you my trick." Wolfess' parasol glowed red and shot the same laser back at Makihara's chest, piercing his armor. Makihara was left severely wounded.
"Grrr. You used my own attack against me."
"That's right, I have the ability to reflect energy attacks."
"Interesting technique, I'll remember that next time we meet." A shuttle came crashing through the ceiling and took Makihara away.
"Dam he left!" said Tasu. Tasu then flew towards the others while carrying Bryan.
"Your wings are healed Tasu." said Ravenne.
"That's thanks to me." said Bryan.
"Bryan has healing abilities." said Tasu. Bryan cam up to Sarruee and place his hand on Sarruee's chest. A white light glowed between Bryan's hand and Sarruee's chest and the wound was healed.
"Anyone else need healing?" asked Bryan.
"I suffered a few injuries." said Conren. Bryan waved his hand around Conren and healed him.
"That’s impressive." said Sarruee.
"So what now?" asked Conren.
"The mission is over." said Tasu. "My sister and Bryan are rescued, and since there is nothing to do at the castle, the robots should be ordered to leave."
"Wow so that's it... see you on Monday Tasu, and Wolfess."
"Seeya."
"Goodbye Tasu." said Ravenne.
"Yeah, goodbye..." Tasu, Wolfess, and Bryan left on the snowmobile while Sarruee, Conren, and Ravenne left on the helicopter. As they were headed back to Gaia Kairu woke up.
"How are you feeling Kairu?" asked Ravenne.
"Not so good, my hair's messed up." answered Kairu.
"I'm guessing the match went well?" asked Conren.
"Har, har, very funny. It was a tie... I think."
"Hey what's that in your scarf?" asked Ravenne.
"Let's see." Kairu pulled out a note from his scarf.

That was very tricky Kairu, using my
own attack against me. Since our battle
ended in a tie, I'm not obligated to tell
you about me. The next time we meet, I
won't make the same mistake as last time.

"That's scary Kairu." said Ravenne. "Are you really going to fight him again?"
"I can't wait." said Kairu. "I'm going to train hard."
"I'm glad you're so eager to train." said Sarruee. "Because as soon as we get back we're doing some extra training to make up for your absence these past two days."
"He, he... I think I would rather face fake Kairu than Sarruee's extra training..." said Kairu.
