"The Power of Love"

By Chibimisty1108

Part Five

      Kento sits alone at a table full of food. "All right! Time to eat!" He starts to stuff his face when a weird voice appears.

      "Hardrock, stop being so selfish."

      "What? Who's there?"

      "Your selfishness will cause you the death of one of your friends."

      "What!" Kento opens his eyes and sits up from his bed. "Wow! That wasn't normal. What was that dream all about, anyway?"

      Mia, Yuli, White Blaze, and the guys are outside playing around. Mia and Rowen sit on two chairs, while the rest of the guys play catch. Yuli chases White Blaze around the yard, and stops when he sees the food on the table. "Wait a minute, White Blaze. I'm hungry." Yuli goes over toward the plate of cookies on the table, but Kento grabs it and eats it. "Kento! That was mine! You already ate most of them!"

      "Sorry, Yuli, but I have to be ready for any attacks and I can't fight on an empty stomach."

      "You can be so selfish sometimes, Kento." Kento's eyes widen and he freezes. "Kento, are you okay?"

      "Yeah, I'm fine."

      "Hey, you guys, we gotta go shopping now if we want anything for dinner," Mia says. Everyone heads back toward the house, but Kento stays, staring at the empty plate.

      Is that dream right?

      "I can't believe that three of my best warriors were beaten! How can that be? This girl is nothing compared to them."

      "I'm so sorry, Master Dasha," Andrei said.

      "Master Dasha, leave the destruction of the girl to me." A woman with short blond hair and a black full moon on her forehead steps forward. "Unlike these poor excuses for warriors, I will destroy the girl with no problem."

      "I'm counting on you, Lao."

      "Do not worry about it, Master."

      "Is that everything Mia? I want to go home."

      "I think this is everything, Cye."

      "Then let's put these bags in the van. They weigh a ton." Ryo opens the trunk and White Blaze pops out his head. "Sorry we had to leave you here, boy." They start to put the bags away, when Mia gets a strange feeling and turns around.

      "What's up, Mia?"

      "Something is about to happen." On the other side of the building, a giant beam of light shoots up from the ground and people scream. "Told you so." They rush to the other side and see a woman in yellow armor with a long whip. She turns toward the guys.

      "I've been waiting for you guys. What took so long?"

      "We had a problem with traffic."

      "Well then, when are we gonna begin your last battle?"

      "Right now. Armor of the Spirits!"

      "Armor of Wildfire, Halo, Strata, Torrent, Hardrock!"

      "Now, let's start. Nova Blast!" Everyone jumps out of the way.

      "Yuli, stay with White Blaze and protect yourself."

      "Right, Ryo." Yuli gets on White Blaze and runs away, but Lao blocks his path. White Blaze turns around, but Lao uses her whip to get Yuli. She raises her arm and lets Yuli hang. "Let go of me right now!"

      "I don't think so, kid. Maybe Master Dasha can use you as a servant boy or something."

      "Let go of him! Iron Rock…"

      "Kento, wait!" Mia jumps in front of Kento. "You're going to hurt Yuli."

      "Perfect." Lao lets go of Yuli and strikes her whip to the ground. "Black Hole, swallow the girl and her friend." A giant hole opens beneath Kento and Mia and they fall in. The hole closes after they are swallowed.

      "Mia! Kento!"

      "You're going to pay for that."

      "Try me, Ronins."

      Kento hangs from Mia's feet. Mia hangs on to her staff, which is stuck in the wall. "Kento, are you okay?"

      "I'm fine." He looks below him and sees a hot lava pit. "We better get out of here."

      "Kento, can't you use your…" The rocks start to break and drops Mia and Kento a bit.

      "I dropped it when we fell in."

      "Then we can't get out of here. I could use my staff, but we would have no way of not dropping." More rocks start to break and lower them again. Mia starts to lose her grip on the staff. "We better think of something fast. I don't think I can hold on for much longer."

      "Don't let go, Mia. I don't want to die like this!"

      "Kento! Don't be so selfish! Stop thinking about yourself."

      That voice said that my selfishness would cause the death of one of my friends. It meant Mia.

      "I'm sorry, Kento. I didn't mean it. I'm just stressed out. I'm not used to hanging by a thread."

      "Mia, I want to thank you for everything that you've done for me."

      "Kento, what are you talking about?"

      "It doesn't make sense for both of us to die. You're more important than I am. You're the only one who can destroy Dasha. I'm worthless."

      "I said I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Kento?" Kento lets go and falls toward the pit. "Kento!" Love. Mia takes out her staff and starts to fall, but two things start to sprout from Mia's back.

      "Come on, boys. Give me your best shot." The guys look all beaten up and have a hard time standing.

      "We gotta get Mia and Kento back."

      "But how, Ryo?" All of a sudden, a huge beam of golden light breaks through the cement that blinds everyone. When the light disappears, Kento stands with weapon in hand.

      "Kento! All right, he's back!"

      "Where's the girl?"

      Kento gives a little smirk. "Look above you."

      Lao lifts her head and gets kicked in the face by Mia's boot. Mia flies upward and spins around showing off her new white angel wings. "I don't like it much when people try to kill me."

      "Whoa, Mia. How did you get those?" Mia spreads out her wings and lands next to Kento and then closes them.

      "When we were down in the pit, I let myself fall into the lava pit to save Mia, but Mia let go and came after me."

      "And the next thing I knew, I grew these." She points to her wings.

      "Well, at least you guys are back."

      "You won't be here for long! Nova Blast!" Kento jumps out of the way and Mia flies straight up into the air. She dive bombs toward Lao, but right before she hits her, Mia flies straight up and Kento comes and punches her in the stomach. "How dare you!"

      "Ready to show this witch what we're made of?"

      "Ready, Kento. Mortal Spirit Blaze!"

      "Iron Earth Quake!" Kento slams the ground and causes the ground to split and pieces of rock fly straight toward Lao. The two attacks were no match for her.

      "You'll pay for this, Ronin rats!" She disappears in a flash of light.

      "She was totally crushed."

      "Lao, you too have failed me."

      "I am sorry, Master Dasha. I wasn't expecting them to get out so easily."

      "I have an idea to defeat the girl, but I will need you and the others."
