I do not own anything from Danball Senki Wars.

As the days passed, Jenock was clearly getting stronger with their capture of Black Wind Canyon and Eldar City. Harness on the other hand was gaining more territory thanks to Reika's skills and Takeru's inventions.

"It is a good thing that you joined Harness when you did." Suzune remarked to Reika that Friday after school. The both of them were hanging out in Reika's room as Suzune's roommate had taken up the room with her friends and Mia had gone to visit Atsuya.

"Why so?" Reika asked lazily from her bed.

Suzune swung her legs as she sat on the chair. "To be honest, before Kaidou-sensei became our sub-commander, Harness was doing badly. Almost every day, we would lose to Arabista and many of Harness' student's were transferred to different classes. Even my old friends were transferred and the next thing I knew, they refused to have anything to do with me because I am in a different virtual country."

Reika scoffed. "If they did that, then don't bother about them! People like them are not true friends from the start. Stick to those who are willing to stick by your side no matter where or who they are!"

Suzune was slightly surprise at this but slowly nodded. "You're right! If they are going to look down on me just because we are in different virtual countries, they are not worth worrying about!"

Reika nodded with a smile. "Exactly! Just show them who's boss and they will regret messing with you."

Suzune pumped her fist in the air. "I got to improve so that I can show them that just because I am in Harness, it doesn't mean that I am weak and they can snub me."

Reika nodded and suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah, tomorrow Mia, Arata and I are suppose to help organise the opening ceremony of the Kuriko Fantasy Sports Centre. Do you want to come to the ceremony?"

Suzune's face lighted up. "You bet. I'll get Inui and Takeru to come too."

"Brilliant!" Reika clapped her hands. She dug into her bag and pulled out an envelope. "Inside are all the details of the ceremony."

Suzune took the envelope and smiled. "We'll be there. Bye." She waved and left the room just as Mia came back. "Reika, I'm back."

Reika waved at her. "Welcome back. Done making out with Atsuya?"

Mia stormed over and wacked Reika across her head. "What I do with Atsuya is not what you think!"

"Ow!" Reika rubbed her head. "Then what were you doing?"

"I was only helping him set up the decorations for the opening ceremony." Mia huffed.

Reika rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. But just don't start making out with Atsuya in front of everyone."

"Reika, I am seriously considering to chop off your head if you continue." Mia warned.

Reika gave a nervous chuckle and pretended to zip her lips.

The next morning, Arata's alarm watch went off at its usual time. Even though it was a Saturday and they did not need to wake up that early, he figured that they should wake up early to help with the last minute preparations.

As soon as he got dress, he quietly exited the building. An evil smirk formed on his lips as he thought of a way to wake Mia and Reika up.

'Mia! Reika! WAKE UP!' Arata mentally yelled into Mia and Reika's minds.

Inside Mia and Reika's room, the two girls were soundly asleep, unaware of Arata's sneaky plan to wake them up.

'Mia! Reika! WAKE UP!'

As a result, Reika fell off her bed, tangled up in her blankets while Mia shot up panting.

'Arata, what was that for?!' Reika mentally screamed back.

'Just a wakeup call.' Arata casually answered. 'It's six o'clock and we have to be there at 7.'

'Give us a moment.' Reika grumbled. Even though they had an hour to get ready and could have gotten up half an hour later, but it was typical of Arata to wake them up earlier.

"Mia, we have to get ready now or Arata would yell in our heads again." Reika informed her roommate when she noticed that Mia had not bothered to make a move to get ready. Instead, there was a distant look in her eyes like she was daydreaming about something.

"Oh! Right." Mia quickly grabbed her casual clothes from the wardrobe and went out to the bathroom. Reika frowned. It was not like Mia to daydream like that.

Arata tapped his foot on the pavement as he waited for Mia and Reika to come out. Tome-san had been slightly surprised when she saw that he was up this early and even more when he informed her that he, Mia and Reika would not be around for breakfast. Nevertheless, she gave them permission to skip breakfast with the other students.

"Arata, if you ever yell into our minds again, I will see that you will never see your fire staff again." Reika threatened as she and Mia walked over to him.

Arata only grinned. "Now you know how bad it is when you scream into my mind."

Reika pouted. "Mou, it was really bad in the way you did it. Right, Mia...Mia?" She looked at her friend questioningly when Mia did not answer and saw that she was in a daze again. "Mia?"

Mia snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "Ah...gomen."

"Mia, are you alright?" Arata asked her worriedly and looked at her carefully.

Mia nodded. "Yeah, I'm just a bit tired as I did not sleep well last night."

Reika raised an eyebrow. "That's rare. You usually sleep like a log."

Mia sighed. "I know. But for some reason, something was nagging at me the whole night."

"Maybe you should sit out of the demonstration today and let Reika take your place." Arata suggested but Mia would have none of it.

She shook her head firmly. "If you think I'm going to sit out on this just because I'm a little tired, you're wrong!"

Reika grinned. "Here's the Mia that we know."

Arata sighed. "Fine, but if you feel that you cannot handle it, tell us immediately. We cannot afford to have you sick just because you pushed yourself too hard."

"Yes mom." Mia said sarcastically.

They continued to walk to the sports centre but Mia could not shake the sinking feeling that kept on nagging her. Also, ever since she came to the island, she has been getting vision like images of what would happen soon. But it usually happens only at night and once a day; however she had received two visions already and was a bit scared of them.

'What in the world is happening to me?' Mia worriedly wondered as she lagged behind. 'I've never received these visions before...What had triggered them?'
