((My first post will be a bit long. I feel its important to tell a some what happened in between Latex 1 and Latex 2.))<br/><br/>After leaving the hive with Umi, Umi flies them to a quaint town and drops off Reiku and Arkain at a beach near near a  town. After spending some time together, they find out how they truly love each other and decide to become mates. They spend the next two weeks having a honeymoon in that small town.<br/>One night 2 weeks later, Arkain comes back and finds Reiku is not in the hotel room. He finds a note written by her. She tells him that she has to go get her sword that was left inside the hive. Not too worry and she will be back soon and that she loves me. He knows how important the sword is to her. He can’t believe she went to the hive without him.  Didn’t she remember that they had to wait 30 days before attacking the hive or it will attack her. He throws the paper in the garbage. The only reason he can figure she went on her own is that she could do it faster on her own. He growls angrily knowing there was nothing he could do. He sighs and sits back in the chair and turns on the TV. He falls asleep. While he is asleep, He get physic message from the hive. <Reiku is being held captive at the hive and that you need to watch what you do.> He wakes with start. The TV screen was snowy and the sun was up. I quickly realize the message did come from the hive. He lets out a roar of anger. What can he do now. Umi. He’s got to find Umi. He runs to Umi finding him on the shoreline. He runs up to him very upset telling about what happened. Umi consoles him. He tells him that he can not attack the hive until the 30 days are up or he will be caught too. No, needs to practice on his kitsune skills so when he will be ready when they meet again at the hive at then end of the 30 day period. Then they will rescue Reiku. Arkain reluctantly agrees. He tells Umi that he will find a safe isolated spot to practice the skills. Umi nods and flies off.<br/>Arkain spends the next week training hard in his cave trying to learn the new kitsune skills. Its was not an easy task. Figuring out the skills turned out to be much tougher than he imagined. He knew if he was going to get his mate back and destroy the hive he will need more help than just Umi. He decides to put posters out looking for people who will join him in the fight to destroy the hive. He puts together a poster saying<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Looking for brave recruits to joining a battle against a great evil called the Hive. The creatures in the hive are dangerous. If they are freed, they will attack the land turning all into latex creatures. If you want to stop this evil meet on the 7th Day April in front of the old lab complex."</span><br/>During the last week Arkain moves from town to town putting up the posters and telling about the hive and practicing his skills. He finally arrives in front of the hive complex a stronger much more powerful lizard than the last time he was there. He stands in front of the door glaring at it thinking to himself.< They will  dearly regret taking his mate. This time the outcome will be quite different.> He puts his hand on the door. "Soon Reiku, we will be together very soon." He steps away from the door and sits under a tree and waits to see who is going to join him in the fight.
