Chapter 21 is here! Sorry for taking so long! I recently graduated from high school, and I decided that I needed a break for a while. Anyways, last chapter, Jonathan woke up and found Dina to be unconscious from healing him. He healed her using his own life energy, which cost him his life. Dina was unable to revive him, so she placed him in the medal world. Afterwards, the three remaining teens went to Dina's house for the night, but Dina was too upset over Jonathan's death to sleep much. This takes place the next morning. On with the chapter!

Chapter 21: Mysterious Enemies

*Dina's POV*

I woke up the next morning. I looked at my alarm clock. It was 5 AM. I had slept for about an hour all night. Jonathan's death upset me too much to sleep. I decided to just get up for the day. I got out of my bed and got dressed. I looked over to Jonathan's bed.

He wasn't there.

I gasped in surprise. "Where is he?!" I shouted. I looked around the room, but I couldn't find him. After giving up, I left the medal world.

Jonathan was standing there in the middle of the room, waiting for me.

"You're alive!" I shouted. I ran over and hugged him.

"Whoa!" he exclaimed as I knocked him down. "Good to see you, too, Dina." he said after a moment.

"I thought you were dead!" I shouted as I stood up.

"Yeah, well, legionators can absorb life energy from their surroundings to heal, but only if they use their own energy to heal others or if they're still alive." He said as he stood up. "Sorry for not telling you."

"It's okay." I said. "I'm just glad you're okay."

After a few minutes, we went downstairs to eat breakfast. When the others saw Jonathan, they almost freaked out. After everything was explained, we sat down and ate breakfast.

"So what are we going to do?" Kira asked.

"There's not much we can do without the risk of being attacked by Argis." Jonathan said. "We'll have to resume our normal activities and be ready in case she attacks."

"So where should we go?" Todd asked.

"It doesn't matter." Kira said. "No matter where we go, there's a high chance of us being ambushed."

"True, but we should go somewhere where there aren't many places to hide." I said. "That pretty much eliminates Ribular Town and Cranial Isle's dig sites, so the only remotely safe place is Icegrip Plateau." When I said this, Kelli shuddered a bit. I quickly remembered that she was attacked and killed there.

"Then let's go." Kira said.

After a while, we headed to the helipad for a ride to Ilium Village. After a while, the helicopter finally arrived, so we got on and told the pilot where to go. When we landed, we got off and headed to Icegrip Plateau.

When we arrived at our destination, I immediately had a bad feeling that something was about to happen.

Unfortunately, I was right.

After about thirty seconds of being there, someone jumped out of the odd well. They had energy blades extending from both of their fists and both feet, and they were wearing a similar outfit to the ones that Saige's soldiers wore.

Another person jumped out wearing strange orange and black armor that seemed to glow. Their hair had the same orange glow, and they were wielding a glowing orange sword. There was a flame symbol on their forehead.

Then another person jumped out. They had a similar outfit to the previous person, but theirs was a translucent blue, along with their hair and the crossbows that they were wielding. They had a snowflake symbol on their forehead.

One more person jumped out, but I knew who this one was. Strangely, everyone except for the person with the energy blades looked the same except for their outfits and hair color.

"Argis." I said.

"I see you're all still alive." Argis said. "But you won't be for long."

"Who are your friends?" Jonathan asked. Argis chuckled at this.

"You don't recognize these two?" she asked, motioning to the other two girls with the strange armor.

"Actually, I do." Kira said. "But who's the masked assassin?"

"Show them." she said as she turned to the mystery person. The person jumped over the rest of them and landed safely. They released the blades and removed the hood that they were wearing. I gasped when I saw who it was.

"Holy... Crap…" Jonathan said in shock.

"No…" I said.

"Who's that?" Kira and Kelli both asked.

"He's Rupert, my ex-boyfriend." I said.

That's chapter 21! Rupert's on Argis' side now! And who are these mysterious people? Find out next time! If you've read "A Second Chance," you already know, so don't post the answer in the reviews. Keep reading and reviewing!
