   Chapters 3 & 4!!!
After tallying all of the votes, the results are in. The group will fight Kage. Chapter 4 is more for comic relief than anything else...

Chapter 3

“We’re attacking her, no matter what!” James replied. “Why not? You can’t be all that tough. You can’t even catch a stupid snake...” James shuddered at the thought of a snake. Kage was clearly mad now. James...why did you have to make her so mad? Xiana sighed. “Yeah, we’ll make you wish you hadn’t gotten in our way!“ Rogue was getting excited at the thought of his first battle with Genis’ sword. It was a marvelous blade, but it did need a little sharpening. Xiana took out her Meivo, preparing to battle. “Indeed. She won’t win.” Rogue and Xiana rushed towards Kage. James was doing all he could in self-defense. Everyone was low on health from lack of food. Xiana began casting First Aid. Rogue ran straight towards Kage, who was bombarding James, and used Sonic Swirl. Kage was knocked back a ways, and James received some time to recover. James began casting Fireball, just as Xiana finished casting First Aid on James. Meanwhile, Rogue kept walloping on Kage. “Fierce Demon Fang! Light Spear! Victory Light Spear! Super Lightning Blade!” Xiana was amazed that Rogue could use so many attacks in a combo. James cast Fireball, then Aqua Edge, then Wind Blade. Xiana soon picked up that he was trying to find a weakness. She tried it, too. “Photon!” Kage took some major damage from that hit. So, her weakness is light, interesting...Rogue was starting to lose TP, Xiana noticed. “Rogue! Pull out! You don’t have much TP left!” “What are you talking about?” Rogue amazingly said through mouthfuls of special moves. “Demon Fang! Sonic Thrust! I’ve got plenty left! Light Spear Cannon! Double Demon Fang! Don’t worry about me! Lightning Blade!” Rogue kept on saying his attacks, but no attacks came. He was completely out of TP. Xiana sighed. Rogue never took into account how much TP his attacks used. “What the? I said LIGHTNING BLADE! Come on! Super Sonic Thrust! Work!” Rogue kept on trying, until Kage regained enough strength to begin attacking him again. “James, why didn’t you pack Orange Gels?” Xiana asked in exasperation. James hung his head. “I said I was sorry...” “Never mind. See if you can draw her attention towards you.” Xiana told him. James gave her a look of complete dismay. “Me?!?! M-Me? Why?” “Do you want Rogue to die? Now, hurry!” Xiana began casting Charge and James threw his spear at Kage. Kage suffered a direct hit, and Rogue escaped. Xiana cast Charge, and Rogue once again began using special attacks one after another. Xiana began casting Holy Lance. “Super Sonic Swirl! What the---Guardian!” Rogue was hit by an attack Xiana had never seen before. “Dark.....Synthesis!” Kage cast the spell at the same time Xiana finished casting Holy Lance. “Holy Lance!!!” Kage was wounded too much to continue battling. She staggered away. Meanwhile, the effects of Dark Synthesis had made our heroes lose HP at a constant rate. That last attack...I’ve never witnessed anything like it before... Xiana thought. Unfortunately, none of them had any strength left to make it to Mizuho. They all collapsed of exhaustion right there and then.

Chapter 4

Kage was confused. How could I lose? Kage thought, I am undefeatable, there’s no way I could lose...I sensed something about them the moment I met them...They WILL find that snake for me.... She decided to leave them be...for now. She needed to regain her strength, and train much more. Where had the group said they were going? Mizuho, wasn’t it? Well, in that case, she would just have to follow them, until the day that she had enough power to defeat them. Yes, that would work. And so, she went to her den and slept. In the morning, she smelled something. Wait... it’s a...CAT. I will make that cat start begging for death, Kage thought. With that last comforting thought to cheer her, Kage ran off towards the scent of the cat. But what she found wasn’t a cat. It was a girl, with cat ears. One red ear, one white ear. After getting over the initial shock of seeing a cat-girl, Kage followed her. Eventually, she jumped out in front of the cat-girl, who didn’t seem to notice Kage until she ran into her. “Ah!” the girl exclaimed, and fell down into the mud. “AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!” The strange girl began screaming and yelling and running all over the place. Kage now began to wish her wolf instincts hadn’t brought her to this girl. The girl then started to stand in one place, hissing at Kage. Kage to this day doesn’t understand what on earth was going on in that girl’s mind, but she didn’t like it. Suddenly, the girl stopped hissing. “Excuse me for not introducing myself. I’m Tama. Who are you?” Kage was now scared of this girl, and started to back away slowly. “I asked you for your name! Give it to me!” the girl sounded menacing. Kage broke into a flat out run. “Don’t you dare run away from me!” she shouted after Kage. The girl ran after Kage. She was much faster, and caught up to her in no time. “Hi!!” she said, “Why are we running?” Kage was so confused that she passed out. “Okay, you can take a nap! I like naps! Naps are fun!” the girl informed Kage as she continued on her way. Kage woke up a few hours later with a throbbing headache. She headed for Mizuho, not realizing the immediate danger she would be in when she arrived there.
