Chapter 20 is here! Last chapter, the teens encountered a girl with magic powers, including being a legionator. The girl revealed that Dina's Warped Reality move was causing portals to appear, releasing demons and reviving some of Dina's enemies. In the end, Dina's power was disabled by the girl and they all decided to find and fight the demons. This takes place where that left off. On with the chapter!

Chapter 20: The Demon's Secret

*Dina's POV*

Fighting will be difficult without my new powers, but at least I can't make the problem worse now.

The girl revealed that the portals that she knew of were only located on the islands, so that made the search much easier, but the Caliosteo Fossil Park was still a big place.

"We don't have much time." She explained. "We need to close the portals first, or the demons will just escape again."

"Do you know where they are?" I asked.

"I can use my powers like a tracker to find them, but I can't close them all on my own." She said.

"Let's get started then." Argis said. "Kira, can you fly or teleport?"

"No." she said. "But I have an idea." She turned to Banette and Selena. "You two have powers that allow you to fly, right?" she asked. The others nodded.

"But mine are supernatural, so you might accidentally negate them." Selena said.

"I can try to fly you around, but I'll probably need breaks every now and then." Banette suggested.

"Sounds good." Kira said. "Let's go."

The girl had used her magic to modify our sonars to pick up the portals and display them as blue dots. She also extended the range to display almost the entire dig site at once, and so the arrow indicating our location would move instead of the entire sonar, basically turning it into a GPS tracker for magic portals. She explained that the portals wouldn't always be open, but they would still leave magical traces that the sonars would pick up. She also warned us that getting too close to a closed portal would trigger a blast of magic flames like the one Kira was hit by, but an open portal or one that shot flames like that are vulnerable to being destroyed by demon magic or Kira's power.

After everything was explained, we set off to find the portals. The others came with us to help fight off any demons we encountered.

The three who could destroy the portals decided to split up, taking part of the rest of the group with each of them. Rupert and I went with the mystery girl, Todd and Pauleen went with Argis, and Selena and Banette went with Kira. Each of us decided to take one of the islands and help the other groups if needed. Each of us had a communicator for this purpose.

The mystery girl's group went to Ribular Town, Argis' group took Cranial Isle, and Kira's group took Ilium Isle.

*At Treasure Lake*

I clicked the button on my sonar. It displayed a map of the dig site and several blue dots. Nine, to be exact. There was also a moving white dot in the pay-to-dig area.

"A moving white dot?" I said curiously. "What does that mean?"

"A revived soul." The girl explained. "And if you see an orange dot, that's a demon."

"Got it." I said. "Should we take the revived soul out now, or should we close some of the portals first?"

"I would suggest closing a few portals, first." She said. "Either way, I can use my demon magic to seal them in a different realm until all the portals are sealed, though."

"Do you know who it is?" I asked.

"I can't tell who it is for sure, but I can tell you who killed them." She said.

"I'm guessing it's me?" I said.

"Actually, no." she said. "This one was killed by Argis before she joined you."

"Why are they coming from hell, then?" I asked.

"Her magic may have sent them there if they were a good person, but I don't know for sure." She said.

"I'm going to see who it is." I said.

"Wait." She said. "I'm going with you. I want to be there in case it is a bad person."

"I'll go, as well." Rupert said.

"Then let's…" she started. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind us. A portal appeared at the base of a tree. A blast of energy shot out at us, but I summoned my Arrogance legions just in time to shield us from the blast. The attack broke the crest, but the attack stopped just as it did.

"I've enchanted my legions to deal damage to magic objects in addition to enemies." The girl said. She waved her arm out, summoning Malice, who shot the portal and broke the magic circle that had shot the blast at us. She then disbanded them and put one of her arms out in front of her. Her palm had runic marks on them that started glowing. The portal slowly closed up.

"One down, a hell of a lot more to go." She said.

We turned around to go find the other portals, but we stopped when I heard a noise like a sword being pulled out of a sheath, followed by a loud cracking noise. I turned around. A tree was falling towards us, and I noticed a Dinomaton standing next to it.

I summoned my Hatred legion for a counter-attack. It caught the tree and threw it aside, hitting the Dinomaton in the process and defeating it. I looked at my sonar and saw another white dot moving towards us at high speed. I looked up to see an all-too-familiar creature running at us. Just as they were about to hit me, I summoned an electrified katana and swung it. The creature blocked the sword with its lower arm and jumped back. A Ptera appeared above them and flew forward. The Ptera made a U-turn and flew at me from behind. Rupert jumped up and used a lightning dash to fly right through the Ptera's wing, knocking it out of the sky.

"You've improved from last time." The creature said. "I see you have some new powers, as well."

"That just means defeating you will be even easier this time, Saige!" I shouted.

She looked past me. "I see you've teamed up with that demonic freak over there."

"I have a name, you know." The girl said.

"Then why don't you tell everyone?" Saige asked.

"Fine." She said. "My name..." She raised her sword in front of her. "Is Jennifer Johnson!"

"Wha-?" I exclaimed.

"And Dina, it's not a coincidence that my last name is the same as yours." The girl said. "I am your sister, but I was born with demonic powers, so I left for the magic realms to train with them and erased everyone's memories of me."

"I'm related to a demon?!" I shouted.

"No one in your family was human." Jennifer said. "We all had magic powers, and the survivors had divine abilities. Healing magic, in your case. Kira's 'Magic Buster' can also be considered divine, even though it can cancel synthetic and divine powers from both sides of the magic realms."

"Wow…" I said.

"Look out!" Rupert shouted. I snapped out of my trance and saw Saige with a glowing sword slashing at me. I lifted my sword to counter it, but I was too slow. The sword sliced my neck and everything went black.

Chapter 20 is done! Saige is back, Jennifer is Dina's sister, and Dina's not really a human! But Dina's been attacked again! What will happen next? Keep reading and reviewing to find out!
