Dietie stood watching the Koji Mansion in disgust. Her teeth clenched and her heart cold she knew she had to kill Mia, no matter what. She spun around as a large hand was placed on her shoulder. There stood the man that had attacked Mia earlier in the lab.
"Patience daughter Dietie, she is the key to getting all the keys, you must not kill her yet. Once all 7 gems are in our possession we will kill her a long with the Ronins," he said in a husky voice. He didn't look old enough to be her father, he looked like a teenager still, 19 the oldest.
"But father, I have the skills to detect them too!" Dietie complained. He glared at her silencing her.
"But you know Mia will find them faster,"
"But they already have one! If I find them myself there will be no way for them to get them," Dietie fought back.
"Yes, but if they get them and Mia is alone, we will be able to get them easily, for she is weak and does not know of her power and knowledge," he replied placing a hand on her shoulder.
"What about Brenda the Monk? She will get in the way and protect her," Deitie pouted showing her age, 10.
"Do not worry my daughter, I, King of the Dark Oracle Edwin, will take care of that small brat," Dietie nodded and they both disappeared off the cliff.

Mia sat holding an ice pack to the back of her head where she hit it twice. The aching pain of coldness stung her hand not being able to bare it any longer she stood and removed the pack from her head. She placed it back in the freezer and moved to the living room where the guys were inspecting the pendant.
"What do you think this does? Like does it have any power?" Sai thought out loud.
"Hmm, Brenda would have told us if there was, wouldn't she have?" Rowen replied to Sai's question.
"There has to be something on it," Sage said. He looked up at Mia and narrowed his eyebrows. "Mia, are you sure there's nothing in your grandfather's notes?" everyone looked at her finally acknowledging her presence.
"No," Mia said frowning, "but I'll look again." She headed up the stairs with Rowen right behind her. "I can do this on my own,"
"We can't leave you alone," Mia sighed a nodded at him and started off again to the den.
Mia logged onto her computer scanning her grandfather's files. Rowen frowned when nothing about the gems came up.
"Wait! Look," Mia pointed to a small passage talking about a new force that will come once the dynasty is gone.
"So this isn't even the dynasty?" Rowen asked amazed.
"Guess not, according to this it's called the Dark Oracle," Mia replied frowning to herself. The name sent chills down her spine. She felt like she knew something about it, but it wouldn't come to her mind.
"Mia, you okay?" Rowen asked. Mia looked at him and nodded.
"I'm fine, just thinking about what Brenda said....what if we can't get all the gems?" Rowen sighed.
"We fight, but we must'n think like that, we have to keep faith in our powers and knowledge, we'll win this Mia. Just like every other battle we've fought," Mia nodded and closed out of her files. She shut down the computer and leaned back in her chair. Rowen frowned, he knew this was taking a toll on Mia. Yeah she's been through the Dynasty wars with them, but never did the enemy WANT her more then them. "C'mon, lets go tell the guys," Mia nodded and they left the den.
Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark
Dietie stood on top of the Koji Mansion grinning evilly. A chilly wind played along the darkness moving her clock around her slender legs. She held out her hand a glowing gray-silver light appeared in it. Her eyes narrowed at the image appearing in the flame. Mia's restless face turned side to side no sleep seem to come to her.
"Perfect," she smiled and closed her eyes. When she opened them they reflected the scene from the flame.
Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark
Mia tossed and turned not being able to sleep. She was in a distant slumber, if something was to make noise she would be awake. A cold wind blew through her room ruffling the curtains from her balcony. A black cloud rolled it's way into her room moving around her head settling over her ears so nothing could disturb her.
Mia walked along a dark pathway in the chilly summer air. Her hair was pulled back by a white ribbon that matched her whole outfit. She wore snug fitting white capris with rhinestones going down the sides of her legs and around her waist. A white tank top clung onto her showing a bit of her toned stomach. She wore backless sneakers with no socks.
"Mia," came a whispery voice. Mia looked around her ponytail moving around her face.
"Who's there?" Mia called shivering with fear.
"Mia," came the voice again. She gulped, as the hedges seemed to move in towards her. They weren't of animals, cute little bunnies and flamingos but of witches, demons and gargoyles. She finally started to walk faster noticing that hedges WERE advancing on her, closing in on her.
"Come to me Mia, my sweet, sweet Mia," Mia screamed as one of the gargoyle hedges swiped at her making her duck out of the way. Each one of their eyes turned red and they started to come after her, chasing her.
"Leave me alone! Help! Ryo! Sai! Sage! Kento, Rowen! Someone!" Mia screamed again running past a set of rod-iron gates.
She tripped and fell into a large abyss. She screamed falling all the way down. Nearing the cold stone floor she clenched her eyes shut knowing she was going to die. Suddenly she felt as light as air, as if she were floating. She opened her eyes slowly she saw she WAS floating. A black bubble surrounded her setting her down on the ground.
Mia looked around and covered her mouth in shock. She found herself in a torture chamber that was covered in blood. The sent of stale blood filled her nostrils, it was so strong she could almost taste it. Dry crusted blood splattered on the walls and large blotches of blood and small rivers of dry blood covered the floor. Mia looked down as she felt a warm liquid under her hand. Recoiling with shock she looked at her red stained palm. It could only mean one thing....fresh. She looked up to see her friends chained to the wall. Each and everyone of them with their throats slit and other cuts cluttering their bodies.
"No!" Mia screamed standing up shaking. She wanted to run to them and wrap her arms around them telling them to wake up. She found her outfit was now stained with red from the pool of blood she was sitting in, the pool of blood from her friends.
"Mia...Miiiiiaaa," the voice taunted from a far behind a far away door. Of course she followed it, taking slow steps toward the large set of doors. She placed a hand on it and pushed. Stepping in she felt nothing, she was falling again. But this time she knew there was nothing she could do. Spikes reached out to her as she plunged to her death...
Mia gasped bolting up awake. The black cloud vanished and left Mia in her room with White Blaze snoozing at the side of her bed. She looked around breathing hard. Her dream had been so real! She looked at her hand almost screaming to see the same paint like red on her hand. As she looked at it, it faded into her natural skin color.
Mia swung her legs over the side of her bed and walked around her bed to her door. White Blaze's ears perked up at the sound of her creaking door. His head lifted up and Mia put her finger to her lips telling him to be quiet. He put his head down on his paws and watched her disappear into the hall. She moved to the room next to her's, Ryo's room. She inched the door open but stopped, he wasn't asleep yet. She knocked softly and he looked at her.
"Mia?" she pushed the door open all the way with a faint, yet fear filled, smile. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Ryo moved over to her pulling her gently into his room.
"I'm fine...I just had a bad dream, call me chicken but..." Mia laughed at her self shaking her head.
"You are going to come sleep in my room with me huh?" Ryo cocked his head to the side with a wide smile. They both laughed a bit and Ryo smiled at her. "Come on, I'm not really tired but you look like it, so come sleep on the other bed okay?" Mia smiled and nodded. Ryo tucked her in a kissed her forehead.
"You're too good to me Ryo," Mia said thankfully and closed her eyes as White Blaze moved into the room to see if she was there. He laid down at the foot of her bed and fell asleep with Ryo's sleeping beauty.
"I'll get them Mia, you can count on that," Ryo vowed drifting into a restless slumber.
Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark
Dietie narrowed her eyes at the image of Ryo and Mia sleeping in the same room. One side of her mouth tugged up in a grin. Her nightmare had had an effect on Mia though. She knew she would not forget the image of her friends hanging there...dead.
Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark
Mia woke up to find Ryo's tiger blue eyes starring at her. She tugged the covers over her head laughing. Ryo chuckled and pulled down the covers and smiled at her.
"How'd you sleep? Any more nightmares?" Mia shook her head snuggling down in the bed. She felt better knowing he was in the same room as her. "Good, if you ever have one again just come in a sleep here okay?" Mia nodded with a small smile.
"Thanks Ryo," he smiled and pulled off her covers.
"Time to get up though," Mia groaned and turned on her back to him.
"No," Ryo frowned and pulled her up and threw her over his shoulder. "AH! Ryo put me down!" Mia pounded on his back but he only laughed. He carried her out of his room, down the stairs and into the living room. He plopped her down on the sofa and she glared at him. "You could have got me a blanket ya know!"
"Oh touch'e! This is what I get for letting you invade my room in the middle of the night?" Mia stuck her tongue out at him and hugged her knees to her chest. Ryo laughed and moved into the kitchen as Sage and Kento walked down stairs.
"What was all the screaming about?" Kento asked rubbing the back of his neck then cracking it making Sage cringe.
"I was being tossed around like a sack of potatoes," Mia said as Ryo entered the room with two cups of coffee.
"Mia you really should go on a diet, you're getting heavy," Mia shot daggers at him accepting the mug from him.
"Her fat? Never!" Sage cried throwing his arms up in the air moving into the kitchen. The others laughed as Sai trudged down stairs.
"Good morning mates!" Sai said with a wide smile. They all smiled back and he disappeared into the kitchen. Mia gasped as a swirl of blue light started to form. Ryo and Kento got ready to fight but they calmed down when they saw it was Brenda.
"Not so early in the morning okay?" Kento whined joining the other two in the kitchen. Brenda rose and eyebrow looking at Mia. They both shrugged and Brenda turned to Ryo.
"Are you guys going to start training?" Brenda asked Ryo shrugged.
"Most likely," Sage said entering the room with toast and juice.
"I've come as a warning, Dietie has already attacked in your sleep, she will be around much sooner," Mia's eyes widened and she stood up.
"Was it...my nightmare?"
"What nightmare?" Sai asked poking his head out the door from the kitchen.
"Yes Mia, it was, do not let her images she placed in your head distract you from your true destiny," Brenda disappeared and Mia sighed. Ryo placed a hand on her shoulder and Mia smiled at him.
"I'm fine, really I am," he nodded and they both sat down to drink their coffee.
"Umm guys?" they looked at Kento, "who's going to wake Rowen?" they all laughed and shook their heads.
Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark~Dark
Rowen flipped the page of his book, they were waiting for Sage and Mia to get home from shopping. They wanted Mia to get out and get her mind off what was happening and they thought shopping was the key.
"Hey Rowen," he looked up to see Sai and Ryo standing there as if something was on their minds.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think we should ask Mia about the stairway? What if she doesn't know about it?" Sai asked doing all the talking.
"Why wouldn't see? She did have the key," Rowen said marking his spot in his book.
"But where does the key go to? What if it's nothing?" Sai protested. He didn't feel right keeping this from her, not when if she knew something that would help.
"I doubt it's nothing, but we can tell her, see what she knows," Sai and Ryo nodded as the door opened. Mia and Sage walked in laughing. Mia held two bags stuffed full of new cloths in her hand while Sage had tons of hair products.
"Have fun?" Ryo asked, Mia nodded and Sage winked at them saying everything went well.
"We want to have you look at something Mia," Rowen said as Kento entered the room.
"What is it?" Mia asked cocking her head to the side.
"It's in your room, in your closet," Mia shrugged and they walked up into Mia's room. The guys swiftly opened the passageway and Mia starred in complete shock.
"You have no idea?" Sage asked, she shook her head and they headed down the dark stairway.
"Wow," Mia breathed as she looked at the stain glass windows peeking out at her. An old wooden door that wasn't there now stood towering over them.
"Uh guys, where'd this come from?" Kento peeped almost falling over from looking up. They looked at the small keyhole and Ryo pulled out the key.
"You looked through my room!?" Mia cried looking at the key. Ryo burned up and grinned.
"I was looking at the picture and found it...that's all we did!" Ryo stammered out the words. Mia laughed and took the key from him. She placed it in the keyhole and turned. With a loud click the door was pushed open....
