Zia's Time
Cover: Miya in a dress with a microphone in her hand singing.
Weekend came and Zia and Miya were in Miya's house.
Zia was on a small bed next to Miya's wearing a light red pajama shirt and blue pants.
The alarm clock went off waking Miya who was wearing a bright green pajama shirt, and pants matching pants.
Miya hit the alarm clock turning it off.
"Zia, time to wake up!" Miya said waking Zia.
Zia groan as she woke up.
"Why are we awake this early?" Zia asked.
"Tonight is the big concert," Miya reminded Zia heading into her walk in closet to change, "And I need to head to school for the final practice."
"Oh yeah, the one with the talent scouts," Zia said.
"Yep, and if I impress them enough I'll be one step closer to my dream," Miya said.
"What is your dream again?" Zia asked.
"I want to become a pop-star one day, and please people with my singing," Miya responded.
"Oh right," Zia responded.
"How do I look?" Miya asked coming out.
She was dressed in a white dress shirt with black shorts under a grey shirt that goes down to the knees.
"You look nice," Zia said, "So am I invited to this concert?"
"Of course Zia," Miya said placing her hand on Zia's forehead, "We're friends, and I want my friends to be there."
"What about Kenji and Tatch?" Zia asked.
"Them too," Miya said, "Speaking of which, you'll be staying with them until the concert."
"Okay," Zia responded.
…
Kenji was on the computer internet trying to hunt down Derek and Zaine as Tatch was sound asleep in his little bed.
"Found them," Kenji said.
"Huh?" Tatch responded waking up.
"Oh sorry Tatch did I wake you up?" Kenji asked.
"Yeah, a little," Tatch said with a yawn, "What are you doing?"
"I was looking up the man mention in the news with who could be your cousin," Kenji said, "It took me a while but after searching around I found him."
"Really?" Tatch asked getting up.
"Yep, Derek Hather, 19 years old, born in Somerset Ky, and was a foster kid since he was 2," Kenji said.
"What's a foster kid?" Tatch asked.
"It means that he moved from family to family who would take care of him for a certain amount of time for payment," Kenji said, "He's 19 years old, so he's older than me and Miya."
"So how do we contact him?" Tatch asked.
"Hold on Tatch, I think we should wait until we're sure your cousin is with him," Kenji said, "We don't want to give him the wrong idea if we send an email just find out it's the wrong guy."
"Yeah I guess," Tatch responded.
…
Kenji got off the computer and started making breakfast for 3.
"Hey Kenji, your dad isn't here, why are you making breakfast for 3?" Tatch asked.
"Remember Tatch, we're watching over Zia, while Miya goes to her practice for tonight's concert," Kenji said.
"Oh yeah," Tatch responded.
The doorbell rang at that moment.
"That's probably them right now," Kenji said.
"I'll go get it," Tatch said rushing to the door.
Tatch opened it and look to see it was Zia and Miya.
"Hey Tatch," Zia greeted.
"Hey Zia," Tatch responded.
"Where's Kenji?" Miya asked.
"He's in the kitchen," Tatch responded.
Miya headed into the kitchen and saw Kenji cooking some eggs.
"Mey Miya," Kenji greeted seeing her.
"Hey Kenji," Miya said, "Thanks for watching over Zia for me."
"No problem," Kenji said, "I know how important this concert is for you."
"Yeah, well if there's a mamodo emergency, please do call," Miya said, "Talent scouts going to a concert maybe a rare opportunity, but it'll come again one day, even if I have to wait for it. But if something happen to Zia in this battle…"
"We'll never see them again," Kenji said, "I know."
Zia over heard the conversation as Miya headed out.
"Okay Zia, be good and don't cause too much trouble," Miya said.
"I won't," Zia said.
"See you at the choir concert," Miya said leaving.
"Bye Miya!" Tatch shouted waving his hands.
"Okay you two, time for breakfast," Kenji shouted.
"Yay breakfast," Tatch shouted running into the kitchen.
Miya's words echoed in Zia's head.
"I'll just have to make sure Miya doesn't fight," Zia thought.
…
The day went by as Zia spend time with Kenji and Tatch.
Miya practice her part as well as solo part that each member get the honor of doing for the occasion.
Finally time came for the concert.
Kenji dressed in his whitish-blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers, as Tatch worn his red hoody blue pants, blue shoes with red laces, and Zia dressed in her red dress shirt, blue skirt, red shoes with blue laces.
Kenji took them to the school.
"So where is this concert being held?" Tatch asked.
"In the school auditorium of course," Kenji said, "Come on, we want to get the best seats."
Zia stopped sensing something was wrong.
"Come on Zia!" Tatch shouted.
"Oh…ah…coming," Zia said heading toward her brother's voice.
…
Amongst the crowd of parents a 13 year old mamodo with brown curly hair, black eyes, with two mamodo markings one going down from each eye to the cheek, wearing a white button down shirt with a pocket on the side, black shorts, black shoes with a man in his mid 30s with black strait hair, green eyes, wearing a black suite and tie holding a beige spellbook arrived.
"I do sense a mamodo here," the mamodo said.
"Yeah, and with this crowd, this battle should be a pleaser," the human said.
…
Kenji Tatch and Zia took seat in the second row mid section.
The auditorium was a huge room filled with seats that surrounds a center stage where bleacher-stands stood for the choir.
The room quiet down as the choir class of 20 came up and took their places on the stands.
The choir director came up to the microphone.
"Welcome to choir class of the year 3000, we would start the concert off with a group song and then we'll go by order selected by myself of individual singing that will last 3 minutes, and then finish it off with the final song," the teacher said, "Now to start the concert."
"When does Miya start?" Tatch asked Kenji.
Kenji took out a pamphlet they were given on the way in.
"She's the first one actually," Kenji said.
The choir started singing the school anthem.
Zia sensed trouble stirring.
"Uh Kenji, I need to go use the restroom," Zia said.
"Okay," Kenji said.
Zia got off her seat and left, but Tatch wasn't fooled.
…
Miya watch as Zia left wandering what was going on.
…
The mamodo and his partner were outside the backstage doors to the auditorium.
"We'll give them something to sing about," The mamodo said.
"Hey!" someone shouted.
The mamodo turned to see Zia.
"Well well, Zia Bell, I guess I wouldn't have to destroy the concert to get your attention after all," the mamodo said.
"Atsushi," Zia said.
"Oh you remember me," Atsushi responded.
"How can I forget the bully a few year higher than me that picked on those weaker than you?" Zia said, "What are you doing here?"
"What else to fight the mamodo here and become king," Atsushi explained, "And I get to fight you. Let's go Daiki!"
'Giaron' Daiki shouted.
Atsushi fired gears from his hand at Zia.
Zia dodge the attack coming at her.
…
Tatch and Kenji were listening to the rest of the song as it finish.
"Now we'll start the individual singing with Miya," the teacher said.
Tatch sense a spike in mamodo power.
"Kenji," Tatch said.
"Now?" Kenji asked, "Great."
Kenji and Tatch got up to leave as Miya came out.
Miya knew then that there was trouble.
…
Atsushi was firing Giaron at Zia as she dodge each attack.
'Zaiker' someone shouted.
Lightning fired around Zia and hit Atsushi stopping the attack.
Zia turned to see Tatch and Kenji were there.
"Tatch, I had this under control," Zia said.
"You were loosing by the look of it," Tatch said.
"Zia why did you go off on your own to fight a battle?" Kenji asked.
"I didn't want to ruin Miya's chance, she's doing so much for me, I thought I can do this much for her," Zia said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help her."
"It's okay, but remember this Zia, you're not alone," Kenji said, "You got your brother and me after all."
"We'll see how much that will work," Atsushi said getting up.
'Giaron' Daiki shouted.
Atsushi fired another round of Giaron.
'Raioshi' Kenji shouted.
Raioshi formed around Tatch Kenji and Zia from Tatch's mouth.

"Now I got you," Atsushi said.
"Zia attack," someone shouted, 'Zaisu'!
Zia swipe one hand across firing Zaisu.
Zaisu hit Atsushi shocking him.
"But how?" Zia said turning to see Miya holding the dark pink spellbook, "Miya?"
"What about your concert?" Kenji asked.
"When I saw you and Tatch leave after Zia I knew there was trouble, so I asked my teacher to hold off my singing until I return," Miya said.
"But if you miss it?" Zia responded.
"I don't care, because helping you is more important right now," Miya said placing her hand and Zia's head, "After all, that's what friends are for."
"Yeah you're right, I'm sorry," Zia said.
The dark pink spellbook started glowing.
"Miya," Kenji said.
"I know," Miya said, "We finally got our turn."
"I'll get you!" Atsushi shouted.
'Giaron' Daiki shouted.
Atsushi started firing multiple Giaron.
"The second spell!" Miya shouted flipping the pages to the next readable page, 'Zaioshi'.
Zia's hands glowed as a dark pink dome-like shield with electric charge form around her Miya Tatch and Kenji.
Giaron bounced off Zaioshi.
"It's like our Raioshi, only dark pink," Kenji said.
"Kenji Tatch, leave this guy too us," Miya said, "Zia and I have some unfinished business with him about trying to interrupt this concert."
"Okay," Kenji said.
"We'll see about that!" Atsushi shouted.
'Go Giaron' Daiki shouted.
Atsushi started firing Go Giaron from his hands.

The first Zaisu hit Daiki forcing him to let go of the spellbook and the second Zaisu hit the spellbook directly causing it to burn.
"N-No!" Atsushi shouted as the beige spellbook burned to nothing and he disappeared.
"Whoa," Tatch said.
"How did you know how to fire two Zaikers at once?" Kenji asked.
"I kind of planned it a while back," Miya said, "Had to make things work with the spells we got after all."
"Yeah," Zia responded.
"Well we better get back to the concert," Miya said.
"Yeah, time for some fun," Tatch said.
"I guess I'll be going with them," Zia said.
"Actually Zia, how about you wait backstage with me," Miya said.
"Really?" Zia asked.
"Yeah," Miya responded.
"I'm so jealous," Tatch responded.
"Give it a rest Tatch," Kenji told Tatch.

"Now for her return to finish what she started Miya," the director said.
Miya headed out to stage while Zia waited backstage.
"Sorry about the wait guys, but a friend needed my help, and friendship is something I hold dear," Miya said.
The crowd cheered as Miya started singing.
…
"She's not bad," a man sitting next to Kenji said.
"I agree," the other said, "And she has the right heart."
"Yes, she definitely has what it takes to make a carreer in singing one day," the first one said.
Kenji smiled hearing it figuring they were the talent scouts.
…
Zia was in the back listening to the song.
"From this day on I'll fight with my friend," Zia thought, "After all that's what friends are for."

At the doors to the exit a shadow figured listen with a smile on his face.
