Hayato, Vandrour, and Anthony appeared next to Dye, and Hayato approach her to pat her head surprising Dye a little " Hayato! " Said Dye with a surprised smile then she turns to see the two masked men behind him with doubt and says " Who are they? "

Hayato pats her head again ignoring her question, then he turns to see Wade that was now in the room with two people the Guild Master and Malack then he says to Wade " So, the knights were with them? "

Wade smiles and says " Yes, they were their escort, so nothing to get worried "

Hayato was about to say something to them but they are in a state of daze seeing the two masked men behind him ' So they can feel their energy or at least recognize them ' he turns to see Violet's group and he smiles seeing them ' It seems that they aren't the only ones '

Then Anthony that was amazed by how he and Vandrour were teleported by Hayato reacts when he saw the damaged room and says with a surprised voice " What happened here? why there is so much destruction in the throne room? " then he sees the pile of unconscious knights and continues " Those knights aren't dead, right? " All the ones who don't recognize him see him with confusion

Anthony begins to walk toward the knights and when he was halfway Violet tackles him making a huge smile as she cries with happiness " This is my Anthony! My Anthony! " Anthony falls on his back with Violet snuggling her face on his chest as she keeps repeating his name " Anthony, Anthony! " with a smiling crying face

Anthony sees Violet with surprise " Violet? what are you doing here? "

" What?! He is Anthony?! " Said Rose with a shocked expression, Alessia, Wade, Alyra, Dye, the Guild Master, and Malack were shocked too

" So it really was him " Whispered the Guild Master with surprise

" Then the masked dwarf must be Vandrour " Said Malack with a shocked expression, the Guild Master turns to see him with surprise to then inspect the masked dwarf and says " It's him there is no doubt about it, Malack this is the surprise you mentioned before? "

Malack nods with a wry smile " I guess so, that kid never told me anything "

Wade sees Anthony open-mouthed ' That guy Anthony came back to life! ' then he turns to see Hayato with a hopeful expression ' Then he can bring her back? '

Alyra sees Hayato with surprise as she thinks ' Hayato can bring back dead people? then maybe... ' Then she shakes her head and clenches her fists making a frowning expression ' No, she has to die first '

Anthony sits with Violet still hugging him tightly and says again " Violet, what are you doing here? " just to be ignored again. Violet separates from him and removes his mask quickly " Hey! hear me out will you! " Said Anthony with a surprised face but then Violet begins to kiss him intensely as she pushed him to the floor

Hayato passed beside them ignoring them and approaches Maya, the Guild Master, Malack, Dye, Rose, Alessia, and Wade smiled a little and Alyra turns a little red gazing at Hayato a couple of times

" Wow, what he said was right, he revived Anthony completely! " Said Rose with a surprised smile

Alessia nods with a serious face and says " Yes, but something is not right " Then she points at Anthony " Look at his body, he has those black lines everywhere and his eyes they look like magic eyes but they aren't, their iris are still human-like "

The Guild Master and Malack paid attention to her words and they inspected Anthony's body while he was been kissed passionately by Violet ' That's true, something is wrong with his body ' thought Malack ' He must have the same eyes too, that mask hides them very well ' the Guild Master thinks seeing Vandrour

Hayato that was standing next to the throne turns to see them nods and says carelessly " Well, they aren't completely alive after all "

" What??!! " Everyone in the room yelled with surprise, the sleeping Maya frowned a little at the yell and Hayato smiles a little seeing her

Violet separates from Anthony still grabbing his arm then she says with fear seeing his face " He is not going to turn into a zombie, right? "

Hayato shakes his head and says " No, they will keep their conscious, so don't worry, but they need to hide their faces "

" How do you revive them? I'm very curious about that " Said Malack with a curious smile

Hayato turns to see him and says calmly " I can't explain to you how my technique works but I will let Vandrour explain to you what I tell them before " Hayato turns to see the Guild Master but before he can say him something Vandrour walks in front of him and says " Guild Master can you do me a favor? "

The Guild Master frowns with doubt and says " What is it? "

" Can you bring back my son before he arrives at my home? after all, I promise the kid here that I will stay in the castle to not bring him trouble " Said Vandrour with a serious voice

The Guild Master shows a small smile and says " Alright, then I will leave now, he should be at the border of the Dwarf Guardian Empire, I have to hurry " he turns to see Malack with a smile and says " Malack you can go back to your previous job, after all, the crown prince is back " then he leaves with a flash while Malack bows at the direction were he disappeared saying with a grin " Thanks, Guild Master "

' That guy, just how powerful he is ' thought Hayato with a serious face

Violet was still seeing Anthony with concern but Anthony smiles at her wryly and puts his mask on again while he says " It's okay Violet, I feel great, now can you let me stand? "

Violet smiles and nods then she stands letting Anthony get up then he asks her " What happened here, Violet? and where is my brother? "

" ...?! " Violet opens her eyes with surprise as well Rose and Alessia while Dye and Alyra smile a little

' I want to know that too ' Thought Malack and Vandrour with wry smiles seeing the destruction all over the room

Then Hayato says with a calm face " I and your girlfriend had a little dispute "

' Little? ' thought Rose and Alessia with serious faces

Anthony opens his eyes with surprise and sees Violet who was smiling at him then he says with a solemn face " Now what did you do, Violet? " Violet shivers a little and bows her head making a pout then she points at Hayato and says complaining " I thought he was the one who caused your dead "

Anthony frows and says " You didn't know anything about what happened in the desert, why did you blame him for that? "

Violet acts nervously and then she bows her head making a pout again and whispers " He tried to kill me "

Anthony puts his right hand on his masked face and says with exasperation " You always do this, you attack everyone who is against me " then Anthony turns to see Hayato and bows his head slightly " I'm sorry for whatever she had done to you "

Hayato shakes his head and says " She didn't do anything to me, but she attacked my partners, now, I'm sorry, but I have to leave, I have a very important matter to do, remember to not leave the castle " Hayato raises Maya who was still sleeping on the throne, and Anthony noticed the scars in her face and whispers in annoyance " Violet " Making Violet hide her ashamed face on Anthony's shoulder

After Anthony saw Hayato take Maya in his arms, he starts to search for someone in the room, making Violet raise her head to see him with curiosity then she asks with doubt " What are you searching for, honey? "

Anthony frowns under his mask and says " You haven't told me where is Reid? if I died, he should be the king right now, no? so where is he? "

Violet is surprised and says pointing at Hayato " Reid was taken by him, you didn't see him where you were? "

Anthony shakes his head slowly and says " No, we... " but Hayato interrupts him saying as he walks in front of Anthony while he was carrying Maya " Can you do me a favor? I want to leave her here, she won't wake up very soon and this is the safest place for her to sleep "

Anthony nods and says " Of course, she can stay in one of the rooms of the castle " Anthony turns to see Rose and says " Rose, can you guide them to one of the rooms? "

Rose nods and walks passing beside Hayato " Fallow me " then Hayato turns to see Alyra, and Dye and says " Alyra, Dye wait at the entrance of the castle, I will meet you there after I leave Maya in the room " Dye and Alyra smile to him and walk out from the room

Wade that was in a daze finally reacts and walks beside Hayato then he whispers " My friend, you can resurrect the dead even if they died years ago? " Hayato nods and says " Yes " then Wade acts nervously as he says " Then could you revive my beautiful Veronica? "

Hayato grins a little and says " Of course, that was the plan, after we found Kara we are going to go to the Human Continent to revive her, I hope that you can wait until then "

Wade nods with a smile and whispers to himself " I will be able to see her again " and the four of them leave the room leaving Vandrour, Anthony, Alessia, Malack, and Violet in the room

Anthony waited until Hayato left to then turn to see Violet and say " Violet what really happened to Reid? "

Violet makes a serious face and says " He really was taken by him but it's obvious that he didn't want to tell you, I'm going to go to ask him again " Violet was about to run towards the room entrance when Malack puts his arm in front of her blocking her path making everyone turn to see him with doubt

" That won't be necessary Violet " Said Malack with a serious face then he says " I think that Raid was killed by him "

Anthony shivers by the surprise and stays silent for a couple of minutes Violet sees him with worry and walks back to him, then Anthony says with a sorrowful voice " I know that our relationship wasn't the best... but he was my only brother... Reid was always like that when we were little, but sometimes we played or trained like normal brothers... if he just could have been a better person maybe... maybe he would be alive now " Violet arrives next to him and hugs him tightly, and Anthony says " I suppose that my father is dead too "

Violet nods and says with a sad voice " Yes... he died a few days ago... I'm sorry "

" It seems that I'm alone after returning " Said Anthony with a gloomy voice

Violet separates from Anthony grabs his hands and says with a beautiful smile " No, you still have me "

Anthony smiles happily under his mask and says " Yes, that's true " Then he caresses her cheek softly after a couple of minutes of watching each other with love. Anthony says with a gentle voice " I need you to do something for me " Violet smiles and nods " Anything for you, dear "

Hayato and Wade walked through the castle following Rose, until Rose stops near a wooden door and opens it, she turns to see Hayato with an expressionless face and says " You can let her rest here, all the rooms in the castle are top quality " Hayato nods with a calm face and Rose says " Now if you excuse me I will leave " and she leaves

" Well, my friend, I was just watching that woman she is too aggressive, now she left I will go to the entrance, I will see you there later " Said Wade with a small smile and he leaves

Hayato nods and enters the room with Maya in his arms. The room was just as Rose said, it was a big room with a king-size bed, a couple of couches, paints, a mirror, and its own bathroom

Hayato walks towards the bed that was a little bit close to a wide window then he places Maya on the bed carefully and when he was about to release her, Maya puts her arms around his neck pulling him towards her, close enough that he can smell her sweet fragrance and feel her soft breathing

Hayato opens his eyes with surprise ' She is awake? ' he sees her face and notices that she still has her eyes closed suddenly she mumbles " Ha...yato "

Hayato smirks seeing her sleepy face ' She is just dreaming ' he tries to raise his head but Maya pulls him towards her again frowning with displeasure with her eyes still closed then she mumbles again " Don't... "

" Maya, I have to go " Whispered Hayato as he tries to remove Maya's arms from his neck after he says that Maya makes a sad face making Hayato stop his actions and see her with surprise " Please... " Muttered Maya with a sad voice

Hayato caresses her cheek with tenderness and says with a smile " You spoiled girl, I will come back for you later " Hayato approaches his face to her's to then kiss her softly on the lips for a couple of seconds, only that way Maya relaxed her grip and made a little smile

Hayato removes her hands from his neck to then puts her hands on the bed. Hayato observed Maya with a smile when he tough ' Her armor can be bothersome to her, I think I will remove it '

After Hayato removed Maya's armor leaving her with only her socks, skirt, and shirt he walks and leaves the room

Hayato arrived at the entrance of the castle there was Wade, Alyra, and Dye wearing their Akatsuki robes

Hayato nods and thinks ' Alright, Albion can you take out a kunai in your position? I want to teleport to your location '

{ ' Understood ' }

Then Hayato says " Ok, let's leave " but suddenly he sees Alyra and says " On second thought, Alyra can you stay with Maya? I need you to tell her where we went and that I will come for her and you tomorrow, I think she will be awake by then " Hayato puts his hands on Wade and Dye's shoulders as he was seeing Alyra then Alyra says with a little smile " Alright, but just be careful, ok? "

Hayato nods with a smile and says " Don't worry the Captain of the Shokan City is with us, he is pretty strong, now remember if you are in trouble you just need to make your opponents lie and they will become stone statues "

" Yes, see you all tomorrow then " Said Alyra with a nod and they disappeared

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hayato, Dye, and Wade appeared in a forest, there Hayato saw Albion using one of his clones with his Balance Breaker activated. He sees the clone with a serious face and asks him " Albion, how are things going? "

Albion shakes his head and says { ' Nothing yet, some of the clones and the Captain are searching on the ground trying to find footprints and I and the rest of the clones were searching in the sky looking for any movements but they seem to have vanished completely ' }

Hayato frowns a little then he turns to see Dye " Dye, wait here, I need to see the city lord "

" Okay " Dye nods with a small smile and Wade speaks " My friend, I think I will join the Captain, I have some experience tracking bandits, I think I can help him "

" Alright do that then " Hayato nods and disappears then Albion says to Wade { ' I will take you with him ' } they begin to run through the forest leaving Dye behind

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hayato appeared outside Shokan City and he then flies quickly towards the City Lord manor as he was laying above the city he noticed that they were still working on the reconstruction of the city walls and some small buildings nearby them. When he arrives at the City Lord manor he lands in the courtyard and thinks as he runs to the entrance of the manor ' I should leave a kunai in the manor? no, I will give the kunai to the City Lord, that will be better ' Hayato enters the manor without the knights at the entrance stopping him

Hayato arrives at the living room and there it was the City Lord standing next to a window with a worried expression " City Lord " Said Hayato with a loud voice

The City Lord turns to see him with a surprised face and says " It's you! please tell me that you find my daughter " The City Lord's face looks a little nervous

Hayato shakes his head a little and says " Not yet, but we are on it "

The City Lord makes a distressed expression as he says " Damn it, then what brings you here "

Hayato sees him with a serious face as he says " I need something that Kara used, something that could have her smell "

The City Lord makes a face of doubt " Eh? why? "

" I have a way to track her by the smell, so let's not waste time " Said Hayato with a very serious voice

" Alright, come with me quick! " The City Lord nods and he runs through the manor with Hayato behind him

After running in a hallway, the city lord stops in front of a white wooden door " This is her room " then the City Lord opens and enters the room

The room was a little bit big and it has its own bathroom. the room has 6 windows all with light blue curtains, at the left side was a dressing table with a wide mirror above it and two closets beside it and on the right side was a bed covered with light blue blankets and a few light blue pillows from different sizes

The City Lord walks towards the bed and grabs an old but clean rectangular light blue pillow " I think the only thing here that could have her smell, is this pillow, it's her favorite, she always slept hugging it, since Selene gifted it to her years ago "

" Okay, I think that this will be enough " Hayato takes the pillow with his left hand then he puts his right hand inside his robe and takes a kunai from his inventory to then take it out and throw it to the City Lord carefully

The City Lord catches the kunai and sees Hayato with doubt but before he can say something Hayato says " Take that with you alright " then he disappears surprising the City Lord

The City Lord reacts after a few seconds and he shakes his head " Damn, Kara, please be safe, help is on the way "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hayato appeared next to Dye and says " Dye, I need you to transform now "

Dye nods and she says with a small smile " Ok, Hayato but can you tell why?"

Hayato responds with a calm face " I need you to track a smell, you can track smells, right? "

Dye nods immediately and says " Yes, that way I exterminated the Goblins and Orcs in the forest of the Lyrel Kingdom, but you know, now I can track smells without transforming, just show me what smell I need to track "

Hayato smiles and says " Good now " then he shows the pillow to Dye " Try to track the smell in this pillow, please "

Dye grabs the pillow and puts her beautiful face very close to it while she has her eyes closed after a couple of seconds she gives the pillow to Hayato and she raises her head and smells the air with her eyes closed after a few seconds more she turns to see Hayato with a serious face and says " The smell is very faint but I can still smell it "

Hayato frowns as he thinks ' It must be because of the wind if we had taken longer to come, the smell could have disappeared '

Hayato sees Dye with a serious face as he asks " Can you still track it like that, Dye? "

Dye nods and smiles " Yes I can but it will be very difficult to do it, and could take a while "

Hayato makes a serious face and says her " Do your best Dye " Dye walks slowly rising her head sometimes and changing her direction a few times

Hayato watches Dye with the pillow in his right hand then he sees the pillow and thinks ' This pillow must be very beloved to Kara, I should return it after this ' then he stores the pillow in his inventory and walks near Dye following her

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The First day passed and Maya and Alyra joined Hayato and the others. Hayato the moment they saw them was surprised by seeing that the scars on Maya's face disappeared Alyra said to him that Violet was the one who healed her while she was sleeping and that was Anthony's idea and a way to apologize to her

The Second and Third days passed on that time the Captain and Wade, searched for tracks they only found a few footprints of Zeran and his companions but with the combined effort of them and Dye, who was tracking Kara's scent, they determined the direction where they escaped, that guided them to a cold mountainous region near the Ballard Empire that is one of the greatest and the only one on the top of the continent the distance between forest where they took Kara and where they went is very considerable but every time Dye could smell Kara's scent more strong that before and when they stop their search they where at the feet of a huge mountain surrounded by rocks of different sizes, Hayato let Albion scout the whole area with the help of a few clones while they follow Dye that seems to have found the last location of Kara

" Are you sure that this is the place Dye? " Asked Maya with doubt seeing left and right

Dye smells the air with her eyes closed once again and turns to see Maya saying calmly " Yes, this is the place where the smell ends and the smell is strong "

" I can't feel any presences nearby, this place only has rocks " Said the Captain as he shook his head

Dye turns to see him and says with a serious face " I'm 100% sure that is here "

Wade makes a serious face and says " They could be hiding around here let's search the place completely "

But before they move Hayato yells " Wait! " he has been watching a rock with suspicion the rock seems strange to him

Alyra sees Hayato with a face of doubt and asks him " What's wrong Hayato? "

Hayato actives his Sharingan and surprises a little then he points at a huge rock in front of them and says " That rock, that rock is emitting energy "

The Captain sees the rock with a frowning expression and says " I can't feel anything "

" Me neither, are sure? " Said Maya with doubt seeing Hayato

Hayato nods with a serious face " Yes, I can see it " to Hayato the whole rock was shining with an intense blue light

" Impossible, unless...! " The Captain walks to the huge rock and starts to touch it carefully with the tips of his fingers, he touches the rock for a few minutes until he stops, making a surprised expression " These are... Runes! they used Runes to hide the entrance! " The Runes were like very small letters, they were scattered at both sides of the rock and had a thin layer of dirt that hide them almost completely

Maya makes a surprised face as she says " Runes?! I thought that Runes could only be used by the Dwarf Guardian Race and the vanished High-Human Race of the desert "

The Captain keeps discovering the Runes and says with amazement " The one who put them here must have found a way to make them, he or she must be very smart "

" Can you remove them? " Asked Wade with a serious face

The Captain shakes his head and walks back " No, I don't know how they work "

" Then let's see if they break! " Hayato appears to giant skeletal hands and says " Move " making all of them jump backward them *BANG* he hits the rock with both hands

*TREMBLE* The rock creates waves of blue energy but it doesn't disappear

' It worked? ' thought the Captain with a surprised face then he frowns ' No, he needs to hit it harder '

" It's not enough? then let's try this " Hayato makes his Susanoo appear completely then Susanoo creates an arrow of purple energy and aims it at the rock

" Let me help you with that! " The Captain yelled with a serious face, then he aims his right hand at the rock and yells " Lightning Spear! " A thin long light blue spear covered with sparks travels from the Captain's hand to the rock at the same time as the Susanoo's purple arrow then *BOOM* a huge explosion occurred making Dye, Wade, Maya and Alyra cover their faces with their arms from the dust that the explosion raised

Blue sparks appeared where the explosion occurred and when the dust disappeared all of them saw a huge wide entrance that seems to go inside the mountain

" It worked " Said Alyra with a surprised expression

" Let's enter " Said Hayato and he runs to the entrance of the mountain

" Alright! " Yelled all of them and they followed Hayato

The cave was like a huge tunnel around 20 meters tall and wide, the tunnel has more Runes on both sides that repeat again and again

" There are Runes at both sides of this cave, they are the same Runes that the rock had " Said the Captain with a surprised face

" Maybe that's why we could feel anything from the outside and that blocked Dye too " Said Maya with a serious face

" I can see various entrances on the left and the right! all of them have the scent! " Yelled Dye with a serious voice

" I will check the first one on the left, Alyra check the first on the right, the rest check the ones that are in front of those " Said Hayato as he runs to one entrance

Alyra arrives at the entrance and she says " This chamber lets me see the inside, Hayato, but blue energy blocks me from entering "

Hayato inspects the inside of the chamber and he only saw a couple of brown bags " This one too but it looks empty, what do you see Alyra? "

" Just a few tables, she is not here " Said Alyra with a serious face

" Hey! this one is empty too! " Yelled Wade as he was seeing another entrance

They keep seeing every chamber of the cave but they never saw any signs of life on them until they arrive at what looks like the end of the cave

" This can't be the end " Said the Captain clenching his fists

" They could have hidden another entrance, just like the first one " Said Dye seeing what seems the end of the cave tunnel

" Let me see " Hayato activates his Sharingan again and thinks ' This rock is just like the first rock but if I use a powerful technique the cave could collapse I have to use one a little weaker ' Hayato activates his Demon Mark ' This will increase my power enough to destroy the rock with my Dragon Flame Jutsu '

Then Alyra asks with doubt " It's the same type of rock, Hayato? "

Hayato nods without turning to see her " Yes, now stay back " and when Alyra, Dye, Wade, and Maya move back he says " Captain let's destroy this one too "

" Alright! " Grins the Captain and raises his left hand aiming at the rock in front of him

Hayato begins to make hand seals then he yells " Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu) " and a Dragon shape flame travels towards the rock at the same time as the Captain yells " Lightning Spear! " *BOOM* they destroyed the rock in front of them. The explosion makes the tunnel tremble but suddenly a thin blue light illuminates the tunnel, the Runes shine intensely and the tunnel stops trembling. The dust they raised dissipated and from this one, they saw rock stairs going down

" I can feel someone! " Yells Maya with surprise

" Me too! this is Kara's energy! " Said the Captain with a wide smile

" Let's go! " Yelled Hayato and they run down the stone stairs
