Epilogue

"The castle was sitting right on top of a fault line and the only thing holding it stable was Fukai's power. When he summoned the Vendetta armor he drained away so much of that power that it became unstable and the volcano erupted. Apparently, he was so caught up in you guys he forgot that anything like that would happen." Mia explained.

"Good thing the Ancient was able to bring us back when he did or else we would all have ended up fried." The others murmured an agreement with Ryo's statement.

"But why did he want your guys's armors?" Yuli asked with impeccable grammar.

"I was doing some research on it," Mia replied, "And with all the nine armors he could actually upgrade his Vendetta armor to a more powerful one."

Before, they hadn't noticed Kento leave the room, now he was yelling at them from the backyard.

"Hey, guys, come 'ere quick!"

Fearing the worst, everyone jogged outside to find Kento missing.

"Kento!" Cye called.

"Over here." All three looked over and spied the Warrior of Strength brandishing… a garden hose? Before they could react all five were soaked from head to toe, all of which very unhappy now (all except for Cye, of course).

Ryo and Cye grabbed two extra hoses from the side of the house while Sage, Mia, and Rowen retreated back into the house. The water fight continued until Kento had Cye and Ryo pinned against the back fence.

At the last moment, Rowen stepped out of the house holding a giant bucket of ice water, which he proceeded to dump over Kento's head. Startled, he dropped the hose to the ground where Yuli, riding on White Blaze, promptly snatched it up.

The soaking commenced.

Sage sticking his head out the door, then bringing it back in to avoid getting himself soaked, and announcing they had visitors was the only thing to end the water fight.

Everyone dropped their hoses and proceeded inside, White Blaze bounding through the doorway after them accidentally knocking Yuli's head on the doorframe as he did so.
