I do not own anything from Danball Senki Wars.

So this chapter will look into the origins of Arata, Reika, Mia, Atsuya and Yuko's powers. Also, Jin may be a little ooc since I have a hard time portraying him in here.


The day before everyone broke up for the summer, the headmaster called for a sudden meeting with the staff.

"Headmaster, what is this meeting about?" One of the teachers asked.

The headmaster, who until now had his back to the teachers, turned around and almost everyone was shocked at his pale serious face.

"I had received really bad news from the management." The headmaster began. "Just last week, this was caught on the security cameras around the island. Meta-chan."

The robotic human, Metazawa, flicked his screen on and an image of an undistinguishable figure, but one thing that was sure is that it did not look like human. It looked like it has long nails like claws and purple skin. But the worst part about it was the blood-thirsty red eyes.

Mito-sensei's eyes narrowed in confusion. She was sure she had seen it before but could not remember exactly where. "Headmaster, what is that thing?"

"I don't know either." The headmaster shook his head. "The management has no idea what it is at all. In fact, they are asking that during the summer holidays, we upgrade our security on the school and the island in case something happens. Also, it is important that no one outside this room finds out about it. If anyone asks, say that it is a prank done by one of the students."

All the teachers nodded in agreement, and the headmaster continued to give them some instructions of what to do if they see it. No one noticed that Mito-sensei was not paying much attention as she should nor did they see her slip her CCM out and took a picture of the thing on Metazawa's screen; except Jin.


"This is the first song I ever performed on stage, which is about three years ago." Reika showed Suzune a video of her performing 'Make it Shine' on her laptop. Since they had only a day before going back, all their electronic gadgets were returned to them and Suzune had asked to see some of the videos of her performing which Reika gladly complied.

"Oh." Suzune's eyes lighted up in admiration. "It's so good."

"Mia wrote and composed the song; I sang and danced to it. So it's a combine effort actually." Reika replied with rare modesty.

"I heard some of your songs along with hers and you two are great in the music industry." Inui praised her.

"In that case, why don't we do a song to celebrate the beginning of summer?" Mia suggested with a grin as she came over.

"Can you?!" Suzune squealed.

"I don't see why not." Reika returned a grin. "Let's ask Yuko-nee and get Arata to help us."

Mia giggled and followed her to look for their mentor and friend.


"Mito-sensei, I saw you take a picture of that thing that the headmaster showed us back then." Jin said straightforwardly when he confronted her later when she was on her way to visit Yuko.

Mito-sensei flicked her eyes at him. "I don't know what you are talking about. If you would excuse me, I'm on my way to see Yuko."

"Does that thing have anything to do with her?" Jin pressed.

"I don't know." She admitted quietly. "But I have a feeling that she should know what it is."

"Why so?"

"Not everything is what it seems." Mito-sensei said calmly.

"I would like an explanation now or I'll tell the headmaster about this." Jin threatened.

Mito-sensei glared at him for a moment and sighed in defeat. "Fine, but let Yuko do the explaining because she would do a better job at it than I can."

Jin was curious at her words but decided to trust her on this.


When they came inside the main hall, Reika was performing a song to a growing crowd with Mia as back up and keyboardist and a reluctant Arata as guitarist.

Here's 2 Us (by Victoria Justice)

Oooooooh

(Reika) Here's to the Mondays
Watching all the cars on the freeway
I ain't got a thing to do
Can I sit here next to you?
And oh oh ohhh

Yeah, I kinda wish I got paid
'Cause my card got maxed out yesterday
Could you give me a shot?
And I'll work with what I got
Not a dollar in my pocket but I rock it like I ain't broke.
You know?
(Mia) Oooooooh
(Reika) Here's to us uh-oh
Here's to us
(Mia) Ooooooooooh
(Reika) Here's to us uh-oh
Here's to never winning first place
Here's to crying on your birthday
Here's to every single heartbreak
Here's to us
Here's to us

Mito-sensei and Jin slipped in unnoticed over to Yuko who was leaning on a wall at the side of the hall while bobbing her head to the music.

"We need to talk." Mito-sensei whispered to her friend.

Yuko cocked her head and one look at the dead serious look in both Mito-sensei and Jin was enough to make her worry. She gestured upstairs. "My office."


"What's wrong?" Yuko said when the door shut close behind them. Mito-sensei said nothing and showed her the picture. Yuko's eyes narrowed when she saw it and looked at her friend sharply. "When was this taken?"

"Last week according to the headmaster." Mito-sensei frowned at her. "Do you know it?"

"This is bad." Yuko said, not really hearing Mito-sensei's question. "Who else knows about it?"

"All the teachers, the headmaster and the management." Mito-sensei listed.

Yuko turned her gaze to Jin. "And him?"

"He caught me taking that picture. We're not supposed to tell anyone about it actually."

"Then get out." Yuko hissed. "You are in no position to know about this."

"I want an explanation of what is that thing or I'll get the headmaster here to hear this too." Jin said with a leveled gaze.

Yuko groaned and sank down in her chair. "Why must you always have stubborn friends Reina!?"

"Sorry." Mito-sensei sighed. "But I think he'll figure out eventually."

Yuko rubbed her temples and opened her eyes. "Alright, but first, I must warn you that you must not say anything to anyone about what I tell you."

Jin exchanged a look with Mito-sensei and nodded. "I promise that I won't."

"Good. Get comfortable because this will take a while to explain."

Jin and Mito-sensei sat down and gave her a look for her to start.

"The thing in the picture is a Night Lurker." Yuko began. "They are vicious creatures that have no heart or soul. They crave for a certain type of meat and blood."

"And that is?" Jin hesitantly asked.

"Aviane meat and Valorite or Vigilite blood." Yuko sighed. "Avianes are beings that originated from a different dimension from ours. As for Valorites and Vigilites, they are descendents of original Avianes that mated with humans in their human form several thousands of years ago."

Jin looked skeptic of her explanation. "Why should I believe a story as wild as that?"

"The picture is already proof that Night Lurkers already exist." Yuko pointed out. "Also, Valorites and Vigilites have special powers because of our heritage. We are classed as Valorites or Vigilites according to which Aviane was our ancestor."

Jin cocked his head in confusion. The story sounds hard to believe and Yuko is implying that she has those 'special powers'. As though sensing his thoughts, Yuko raised a hand which glowed purple. A book on the bookcase opposite of her instantly floated over to her waiting hand. Jin's eyes were wide as saucers at that.

"Believe me now?" Yuko said, cocking an eyebrow. "I'm classed as a Vigilite by the way because of my geokinesis."

Jin shook his head to clear it. "If what you say is true, then does this mean that there are more Valorites and Vigilites on the island?"

Yuko nodded. "Yup, Arata, Reika, Mia are Valorites while Atsuya is a Vigilite."

Jin's jaw dropped open and turned to Mito-sensei. "And you knew about this?"

"Sort of." She admitted. "I'm sorry, but I was allowed to know about this because I knew Yuko when we were little and I already knew about hers and Atsuya's powers. As for their origins, this is the first time I heard about it."

"Actually, they were the bedtime stories my mum used to tell us during our sleepovers. But I think you dismissed them as a fictional story which is why you did not know. Also, the tapestry in our old living room shows a battle between an Aviane and a Night Lurker."


After Yuko was done with her explanations, Jin and Mito-sensei left the office and went back down. Jin's mind was still reeling from the revelations in the office.

"What are you going to do now?"

Jin turned around to face Mito-sensei's tensed gaze. "I'm not going to tell anyone if you are wondering. I know altogether too well how people will react to it."

Mito-sensei let out a breath she did not know she was holding. "Thank you." She bowed and took her leave.

Jin turned his gaze over to the trio who had finished another song. He caught Mia staring at him intently. Something about her stare told him that she knows that he knows about them. She tilted her head and Jin could practically hear her voice in his head.

'How will you treat Reika from here?'

He tilted his head, wondering how he should reply but he knew exactly what he would do. 'No different from everyone else.'

Mia seemed satisfied with his answer and nodded at him. 'Thank you.'

Jin shook his head and left the building. He was not sure why the Night Lurker was on the island although he had an inkling that it was connected as to why Arata and Reika suddenly showed up in the school. The question is what are they exactly doing here.
