"The Power of Love"
Part Six
"I think we all deserve a vacation after what we've been through lately," Rowen says, entering the hotel room.
"I'm just glad Mia decided to come to the conference, or we wouldn't have had this time off."
"Thanks for inviting me to Tokyo with you, Mia."
"No problem, Yuli. Your parents wanted a vacation too." Mia takes out her laptop and places it on the table.
"Mia, you didn't bring work, did you?"
"I want to see if I can find any information on Dasha or my armor."
"It's impossible to separate Mia and her laptop," Ryo said.
"You called for us, Master Dasha?"
"Yes, Loess. I have a plan to finally get rid of the girl, but it will only work if you want to defeat her."
"I think all of us want revenge," Lao said.
"She made a total fool out of us," Mayas commented.
"Good. Then we will get started right away. Those symbols on your head are more than just decorations. When the time is right, you have the ability to combine all your strengths into one huge power. That time is now. Are you ready?"
"We will do whatever you command," Loess says.
"We are at your every wish," Andrei says.
"We will not let you down," Lao says.
"Powers of darkness and evil, let the black shine its power to these four servants and give them the power needed to destroy the good of the world!" Black lightning strikes the girls on their foreheads and slowly covers them in a black light.
Mia sits in her bedroom on her laptop. She starts to type, but nothing shows up. "There has to be something here that can be helpful." She continues to punch in some keys and then a bright light comes from the computer. Once it disappears, there is some writing on the screen. "Ryo! Rowen! Sage! Cye! Kento! Get over here now!" Everyone rushes down.
"What's wrong, Mia?"
"Nothing, Ryo, but I found something that might be helpful." Everyone stares at the poem on the screen.
The end of all life will come to us soon,
Just as our hearts are consumed by blackness,
The devil will appear from its cocoon,
And across the land will spread its darkness.
When darkness slowly swallows ev'ry light,
And the planets form into a straight line,
Be prepared for a long and costly war,
'cause war will start that you cannot deny.
When the darkness has finally been burned,
Then will become strong the bonds of true love.
It is then when the light will be returned,
For everyone to see up and above.
When it seems like the end will come to all,
Only love will completely stop the fall.
"Okay, so what is this all about?"
"I think it's how to destroy Dasha, Kento."
"In the poem, it says that only love will destroy the evil." Sage points to the screen. "See, Mia, that probably means you. Your sign is love."
"The second part probably talks about when the real battle will start. We just have to figure out when."
"Hey, you guys, I heard some really freaky news."
"Not now, Yuli. Can you tell us later?"
"I guess so."
"I guess we know what we're up against now. I'm going to get something to eat."
"Count me in too." Everyone starts to leave, except Mia.
"Hey, Mia, coming?" Ryo asked.
"I'm going to stay here and do some more research."
"Okay. Um, Mia?"
"Yeah, Ryo?
"Um, good job." He blushes and leaves.
"I can't believe you think those boys actually care about you, Mia."
"Huh? Who said that?"
"I'm you, Mia." A figure appears in front of her. It's a replica of herself in her subarmor. "I'm your true self."
"The boys do care about me. That's why they protect me."
"They don't care about you. They protect you because you are the only one who can destroy Dasha. If you die, they die. Don't you realize they always make you do the fighting?"
"I don't believe you."
"Why not? I am you. I know everything about you and your life. Why don't you go into the kitchen and see for yourself, then you'll see the truth." Mia gets up and walks toward the kitchen.
"All right, so far, Mia has found four of her five parts of her armor," Sage says.
"Maybe if we continue to train her, she'll find the other part," Kento says.
"If she doesn't find that armor, then we are all doomed," Cye replies.
"Haven't you noticed that all the jerks we've fought lately are women?" Rowen commented.
"I know. Who would send women to fight against us?" Kento replied.
"I can't believe it." Mia drops to her knees. Her replica puts her arms around Mia's neck, gently hugging her.
"You see that, Mia," the replica says into Mia's ear. "They don't think women can fight and they just want you to get your armor so they won't die."
"This can't be. I thought they cared for me. I need to think." Mia gets up and runs out the door.
"Did you guys hear something?"
"Must be you, Ryo."
"Hey, Ryo, have confessed your undying love for Mia yet?" Kento says.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He starts to blush slightly.
"Don't hide it, Ryo. We know."
"Well, I don't want anything to get in Mia's way right now. She has to concentrate on fighting so she won't get herself killed."
Mia walks down the road and stops at Tokyo Tower. She stares up and looks at the top. "Do the guys really only want my armor, or do they really care for me?"
"I know the answer to that." Mia turns around and sees someone in her armor that looks exactly like her.
"What? It's you! Why are you wearing my armor?"
"Because I'm you, of course. Come on, girl. Get ready to fight."
"Armor of the Spirits!"
"Mortal Spirit Blaze!" The attack hits Mia.
Ryo looks out the window and sees a column of light. "What was that?"
"Has anyone seen Mia? She's not in her room."
"That light! It was Mia!" Ryo runs out the door and everyone follows.
Mia gets kicked in the face and the stomach and lays on the floor. "Come on, girl, where's your real power?" The guys run up to the battle in their armor ready to fight, but stop at the sight of the two look-alikes.
"Hey, which one is Mia?" The look-alike comes toward Mia, but White Blaze jumps in front of Mia and blocks the attack. He pounces and attacks the look-alike.
"That must be Mia, but her armor doesn't look right," Rowen says.
"Her armor is gray, instead of silver. Something must be wrong." They run over to Mia on her knees with her hands on the ground supporting her and her staff next to her. Ryo puts his hand on Mia's shoulder. "Are you okay, Mia?"
Mia slaps Ryo's hand off. "Get off of me."
"Mia? What's wrong?"
"You should know, Sage. You don't care about me. You just care about my armor." She sulks her head and lets her long hair cover her face filled with tears.
"Where did you get that idea?"
"She got it from me."
They turn around and look at the look-alike. "Who are you?"
"Actually, 'who are we'? Don't you remember us, Ronins?" The figure turns into each of the women one by one.
"It's you guys! Why did you lie to Mia like that?"
"It was the only way we could get rid of Mia. Take away her love and no more power."
"Mia, you gotta get those ideas out of your head."
"I don't think that will be possible."
"Armor of Inferno! Rage of Inferno!"
"Arrow Star Shock!"
"Super Tsunami Smasher!"
"Thunder Scream Crash!"
"Iron Earth Quake!" The attacks hit the look-alike, but don't leave a scratch.
"That may have hurt us when we were alone, but together, we're invincible. Let us show you real power. Mortal Spirit Blaze!" The attack scatters all the guys.
"Mia, get up!" Yuli runs over toward Mia. "Mia, that person is lying to you. Don't believe her."
"There's no use trying to change her mind. She's ours now. It's time to get rid of her."
"I don't think so, witch." Ryo gets up and goes in front of Mia. "I won't let anyone hurt Mia. I love her with all my heart and I'd rather die then let anyone hurt her." Virtue.
Mia lifts her head and tears start to fill her eyes. "Ryo." One by one, the guys get up and surround Mia.
"Mia has always been there for us and we trust her with everything, because we know she is a true friend." Trust.
"Mia is always there to show us what's right and what's wrong." Justice.
"Mia has always protected us from everything. It's our turn to repay the favor." Life.
"Mia has always shown us the right way and gives us the advice we need to win. Wisdom.
"We won't let anything happen to her," they say in unison.
"You guys." Mia starts to cry.
"What a nice speech, but it won't save you. Mortal Spirit Blaze!" The guys use their armor's shields to protect Mia from the attack.
"I can't believe they're doing this for me. They do care for me. It was all a trick to turn me against them. They will pay for playing with my feelings." Love. More tears stream down her cheeks and hit the ground. "I won't, I won't let anyone hurt my friends! Mystic Barrier!" Mia's barrier protects the guys from the attack. Mia flies off the ground with her armor glowing in a bright silver and lands in front of Ryo. "No one messes around with me and especially not my friends. You better say your last goodbyes."
"But, how? How did you regain your power? Nevermind. Get ready to die." They both open their wings and fly into the air. They start to battle and Mia's armor starts to glow.
"Time to finish this off." Mia flies up to the top of Tokyo Tower and lands on the point. She spreads out her wings and her whole body starts to glow, including the wings, a bright silver. The guys stare at the bright light. "Mortal Spirit Blaze!" All the light surrounding Mia concentrates into the spirit orb and goes straight for the look alike.
"Mortal Spirit Blaze!" The look-alike's attack becomes overpowered and she's driven straight to the ground and destroyed in a blaze of light. The giant beam of light goes straight up toward the sky as Mia lands on the ground.
"What's this?"
"Maybe it's the planets." Yuli opens his book bag and takes out a newspaper article.
"What are you talking about, Yuli?" Kento asks.
"I was going to tell you that today all the planets are supposed to be in perfect alignment. It hardly ever happens." He points at the article.
"The poem, it mentioned something about the planets being in a straight line."
"Then it's time to go. The finally battle is soon. If you guys still want to come I mean. After what I did…"
"It wasn't your fault, Mia. Anyway, we gotta stick in this together."
"I'll see you guys when you come back. Good luck."
"Where are you going, Yuli? You're coming with us."
"Are you sure, Mia?"
"I'm sure Sage. I think I'm going to need Yuli on this journey just as much as you guys."
"Thanks, Mia." He hugs Mia. Mia, Yuli, White Blaze, and the guys walk toward the light. Ryo grabs Mia's wrist before she enters.
"Um, Mia, about earlier."
"Not now, Ryo. I have more important things to think about." She pulls away and enters the beam. Everyone else enters and they float up to the sky, with the beam of light disappearing behind them.
