CHAPTER 24:
RAYGEN'S SURPRISE
BETRAYAL


Some hours after the invasion, everyone else arrived to Skyridia; and they soon learned about what just happened. The reactions where as expected.

"I can't believe this!! One thing is keeping the fights, rivalries and destructions to the battle camps, but going all the way to invade a place where no battle is going on, just fo the destruction, is very low" said MercuryPenny. "And don't forget there where kids here!! And acording to the note, it seems like Raygen knew about this. Guess he just lied about being a honest villian" said Bartley.
People continued talking about it for a while. However, Ralph was thinking throughly. He had other idea about that, but he wasn't sure.

Soon, everyone noticed Cid hadn't said anything at all. He was just standing there, looking at the floor. Tina, who was there as well, aproached him. "Ae you alright, sweetie?" she asked. Suddenly, Cid turned around violently, making her backtrack scared. "Raygen is a bastard!! He has decided to attack MY family. And for that, he will suffer!!" he said, with a very enraged face. Tina looked at him a bit scared, but still said: "Cid... please calm down. What happened was aweful, and I don't know what I would've done if something bad had happened to them, but they are alright. Please... you are scaring me." Cid took a deep breath and calmed down. "Ok... I'll think it more clear. But I'm making him pay, regardles..." he said. And then, Ralph finally said something: "I don't want to defend Raygen, and I'm angry at what happened to. But this definetly doesn't hear like something he would do. We have seen him respecting who are not related to this war, and besides... why would they be caring a piece of paper with those instructions. Is better to say directly the orders." "I really don't care how he made the order. I care about what he did. I will find why was that, and if it was actiually his doing, I will make him pay. And you don't dare to stop me. Any of you!!" said Cid. "Fair enough" said Kiro.

After that discussion, suddenly Nazz arrived. "Guys, I think we might have a big problem up to occur. I felt something strange, and I checked on certain place you where before: The Temple of the Fallen. I can't believe this, but it was open. It was supposed to be impossible to open, but it is now. This is worrying me a lot now" she said, then added. "and ironically, Raygen is there. And no one else." "Ja!! Told you we where going to return there eventually!!" said Pikachu proudly. "Good, I will fall two birds in one shot" said Cid. "Cid... you are worrying me. You are not acting like yourself, and I understand why. But I'll go with you. I won't let you alone in all this. And you need someone seeing you" said Sherry. "Alright. It's better if I don't go alone. Who else wants to come? Keep it few, though" answered Cid. "I'll go with you. We really need to serve the justice" said Kiro. "And I'll go as well. I need to know why he changed so sudden" said Rafael. "Ok, I think that's enough people. Don't want to cause a fuss with lot's of people" said Cid. "Yay!! Original team back together. I miss Alcid, though" said Sherry. And with further adding, they left.

They appeared just outside the temple, and saw surprised how the open was just plain opened. Not bombarded, or destroyed. Opened like any door would be opened. They got inside. While walking, Ralph looked at the hieroglyphics all over the place. He couldn't understand at all, but some of the dragons where interesting. One was huge, with no wings, and a lot of spikes. One was like usual dragons, but with more than four legs, one that looked too much like Rayquaza, and one big dragon with several heads. That one particularly made him uneasy. They kept walking for a while, and suddenly, Sherry fell to her knees. "What's wrong?" said Kiro. "I don't know... I suddenly felt something odd in my belly. It was a weird small pain. It's over now. But it's weird... maybe I ate something?" she said.

After passing by some corridors, and getting lost several times, they soon arrived to a bigg hall. And on it, on top of a plataform in the middle of the room, was Raygen. He was giving them the back, so he didn't saw them. Instead, he was looking at an artifact. Cid shouted: "RAYGEN!!!" He turned around surprised. "You?! What are you doing here? HOw do you keep managing to know where me or my team are?" he said. "That's not of your business. We came here to make you pay!!" said Kiro. "I think that's still too early. Phase two hasn't started yet. But sonce you seem so eager to fight, guess I should fulfill your wishes" he added, as he summoned his dark blade. He then levitated towards them. Kiro ran at him swinged his Crystalix. Raygen blocked it. Then both of them clashed several times with their blades. He then pushed Kiro away. Sherry throwed her Shield at him. Raygen deflected it and shot dark energy at her. She rolled to dodge in the direction of her shield, grabbing it and attempting to bash Raygen. He dodged moving to a side with ease, and kicked her in the back. Suddenly, he saw upwards and saw Ralph attempting to fall over him. Raygen turned into bats and avoided that attack. Rafaels' attack was going to be a strong one; his trident got stuck in the floor. But once he materialized again, he was hitted by a lightning ray from Cid. He saw him quite angry at him. Raygen shot several streams of energy at him, to waht Cid reacted by making a light shield with the Sun Gauntlet. He then charged and released a powerful light beam from it. Raygen made a similar wave with dark energy, and the attacks clashed.

While the clash was going, Raygen said: "I feel hostility in all of you. More than what it should be. Can I sak why?" "You should know!! After all, it's because of you" said Cid. Raygen got confused, and decided to read everyones mind. And what he saw scared him. He saw what happened in Skyridia, what Maxwell was about to do, and how they found a piece of paper making him guilty. Raygen stopped attacking and resisted the light beam from Cid. "I see... you think I intended to do something to your kids" he said, with what it seemed a sad voice. "Exactly. How in the world you know about his kids?" said Kiro. "I have powers to read minds. I can kind of control people with it as well, as some other things. But I never do that. It's not fair. But I did read your minds as strategical info. And for that, I keep sending my group in few, to let it be fair" he added. "Yeah, ok. You keep trying to be fair. But what you did doesn't reflect that at all" said Sherry. "I saw the paepr you found, saying I send them to do that. But I would never do it. And I didn't. I don't know at all what is the meaning of all this, and why would someone do something like that. But I swear, I had nothing to do with it. Please, believe me" he said as well.

Everyone looked at the man. And for how he said that, and the expression on his face, they really felt he was saying the truth. They didn't felt another mind on them, so they where sure he didn't tricked them. And also, he looked as worried with it as them. "We... we believe you" said Cid. "I'm truly sorry about all this. The plans should never have this part. I only can assume someone from my group did it. And I will find out. And to keep things even, my attacks will stop for some days. Until then, take a good rest" he said. And he leaved in a black portal, carrying the artifact. "Well, he seems legit with that" said Kiro. "Yeah, and now I have two worries. What was that thing he took? And who made all this plan? This just feels like something aweful is about to happen..." said Rafael.

Raygen arrived to his castle. Everyone of his team was there. Blash aproached him and said: "So you where succesfull in bringing it?" Raygen took him from the troath and said angrily: "You got too far this time, Blash. I found your little plan below mine!!" Blash shocking, said: "Read my mind. It wasn't me." Raygen left him down. "It wasn't you. So who it was? WHO DARED TO DO SOMETHING AS LOW AS WHAT HAPPENED AND MADE ME LOOK AS THE ONE WHO PLANNED IT!!" he roared. Scorpox said: "Well, you can see by yourself, but we will tell you. We all knew about the plan, and decided to tag along. But none planned it." "Then who it was?" said Raygen. "Come on, genious. If it wasn't either of us or you, who could've done it?" said Titaria. Raygen got both surprised and worried. "You mean he did it? Why would he do me such a thing. I thought we had a deal!!" he said. "Looks like he wanted to give you a lesson. And to tell you what where you doing wrong" said Maxwell. Raygen lowered his head. Suddenly, he talked again, but his voice sounded different now. Like if it was somebody else. "I gave my word. No more attacks for the rest of this week. And when we come back, the ritual shall begin. We will finish this as fast as we can, at all costs. As soon as we finish, the better. I don't want to see you again after it" he said in his new deep voice. He then moved his hand and said: "And you are forgetting those kids." He erased them that, and he left the room, still looking down. Everyone else smiled as he leaved. Fraint and Leena, however, looked worried. "So the plan worked, uh? we gave a lesson to that idiot" said Blash. "Yay!! It was fun, right?" said Nancy, high fiving with Blash. "And he has learned a lesson. Do not trust anyone. Not even your team" said Scorpox.
