Magnus set up camp near Dia's hidden cabin. A secluded place where no one would interrupt them, he knew to prepare Dia to have her powers completely mastered. For he believed that she have to face that masked brawler one day. To strengthen her skills as a brawler as well. Dia still was new to brawling as a fledgling is to flying. Another reason which Magnus kept the two hidden was to keep the two safe. Too much pain seemed to be aimed towards the two because of that video. This way Dia and Leonidas could train in peace without fear of worry.

Both have been through enough already. Right now, they need support and guidance in these troubled times such as these. Magnus was not the type to be seek comforting someone. Though after the events of the V virus and being puppeted by Tiko. Magnus completely understood how it feels when the world views you as a monster.

The best he could offer was to train her to get revenge on the one who inflicted such pain upon her. Not like a soldier but as a fellow brawler. He would make a fine brawler out of her. One that would shine brighter than any diamond in the sunlight.

Magnus trained Dia to increase her stamina. By raising her stamina, Diana would be able to use "Diamond Justice" longer in battle. Hour long runs to increase her speed to get to bakucores much faster than before. Her legs held the constant burning pain that would not cease. Lifting weights equal to Diamond bakucores left her arms like soggy noodles. Much like pumping iron twenty four seven for a year nonstop. Basic excerises such as sit ups and push ups were done fifty times to the crack of dawn. Not to mention all the brawls they had everyday for a month.

Yes. They have been training for an ENTIRE month.

The expression "Fell asleep as soon as their head hit the pillow" was true for Dia everytime she would rest. Poor girl always would pass out after training. Least she was making good progress as a result.

Nillious put Leonidas through similar training methods. Flying racesto improving his flight speed, taking multiple attacks to strengthen his defenses. Maxing out the full power of every attack in his arsenal till he fell to the point of exhaustion. No matter how his chest burned afterwards.

Leonidas would be better. HAD TO BE BETTER! Better to keep the child he was destined to safe. He fight tooth and nail before he allow harm to befall her. Even going far as to train every night as the others slept.

Today was no exception, however Dia felt like she had not made much progress in unlocking "Diamond Justice" as easily as she wished too. During a break is where she felt frustrated.

WHY?! WHY COULDN'T SHE CALL IT AGAIN?! MAGNUS WAS DOING HIS BEST TO HELPING HER AND SHE COULDN'T SHOW ANY SIGN OF PROGRESS!

Sensing her frustration, Magnus sat at the same table that Dia was at. He brought her a warm cup of hot cocoa, he added marshmellows, and cinnamon to add a comforting flavor to the already soothing beverage.

"You are making progress. Yes you still haven't unlocked "Diamond Justice". It seems there is still a hurdle that is blocking you. I believe it may have something to do with the Awesome Ones" Magnus saw the scared yet worried look on Dia's face.

"I-I..." Dia still could recall the words from their mouths.

No one bothered to at least informed her or her uncle that Dan got discharged from the hospital. WHY?! WHY HADN'T DAN CALLED HER IF HE KNEW SHE WAS INNOCENT?!

"You may have weep your sorrows , but you still have not release your anger. You can't tell me that has not been eating away at you" Magnus recalled the nights he overheard Dia crying herself to sleep. She NEEDS to confront them.

That's why he sent Benton their location. He made sure to wait a good amount of time before giving them such information. One month seemed to sufficed as Dia made such tremous progress.

Dia went out for a walk since she refused to reply to his remark. Funny since he saw a bit of Drago wing from the window.

Amazing... They truly lack the art of surprise. Let alone stealth. No wonder he always got the drop on them.

He might as well prepare popcorn for this. He looked forward to seeing the drama unfold in front of him.

"Let out your emotions, Diana Jenkins. Releasing them may finally allow you to unlock the power that is bounded only to you" Magnus watched Dia walking towards the Awesome Ones direction.

May this be a wonderful show.

Dia decided that a walk would be the best to help clear her mind. Magnus words held more truth than she like to believe. She did want to confront the brawlers who never bothered to see her side of things.

Dan may have been in the hospital but when he woke up, he never bothered to call to tell her she was okay.

She was torn between hugging him out of relief or punching out of rage. Here she thought Leo was the angry one. Now she knew why he released his raged so often. A toxic feeling that she needed to release before it harmed her more.

"Dia, it's you-" A hand went to her shoulder.

Upon instincts of fear, Dia turned around and punched the stranger the hardest she could.

"BACK OFF!!"

Dia then saw who she had hit. She looked beyond shocked with a tad of shame. She just punched Wynton Styles....SHE JUST PUNCHED WYNTON!!

She felt torn about this. Yes he kind of deserved it. On the other hand, she shouldn't punched him without checking who it was.

Things she wished she had done in her past. Oh how many of those scientists deserved it and far worse.

Her scream reached Leonidas ears. He was at her side within moments.

"WHAT. HAPPENED?" His voice held a low yet deadly snarl. Half tempted to bare his claws at the boy.

"Wynton grabbed me from behind and punched him..." Dia never felt so guulty. Helping Wynton to his feet.

"That's my girl!" Leo couldn't be prouder in her than he was in that moment.

"LEO!" Dia scolded before facing Wynton. "Why are you here? How did you find me?" Question that popped into Dia mind as she got over the shock.

"We came to apologize" Wynton rubbed his nose. Praying that it was not broken.

"W-we?" Dia saw the other Awesome Ones member coming from behind the shrubbery which Wynton stood before.

So much for her hiding out now...

Might as well brace for more yelling.

"Dia we are so sorry. We blamed you for something you didn't do. We insulted you and treated you like you were a monster. We shouldn't have accused you without fully knowing if you were the culprit. We took down the video.....small apolgize we know..." Lia eyes watered before she found enough strength to use her voice again. "We wish to make things right and try to be friends again..."

"Analyzing the video should have been the first thing we could have done before we put you up against the world" Shun looked like he been slapped in the face for all he did. He knew better than to blame one for false crimes.

His father raised him better instead of how he acted.

Lightning only whimpered. His form of apologizing due to the language barrier between them.

Dia listened to their apology carefully before the other two member spoke up.

"I should have told the others the moment I saw you in harm's way" Dan may have been a victim too, though by not seeking her out. Dan was just as guilty as his friends.

Wynton onlybrepeated the words sorry over and over again like a broken record disc.

There they turned to hear Dia answer.

"Only apologizing to me huh? What about Leo?" Dia voice was so calm yet colder than villian's.

"Well-" Just as Shun was about to answer, Dia cut him off.

"Wow. Just WOW. You all think I am the only one who was suffering? Yeah I was blacklisted from the world. Kids reposting the video you deleted. Nothing really stays gone from the web. Course I get it. Dan safety was more important than believing in a new friend. THAT STILL DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT! I CAN STILL REMEMBER EVERY THING YOU ALL CALLED ME! CALLED LEO!" Dia decided to release the toxic frustration which brew in her heart for so long.

"GIRL WHO ONLY IS A FRIEND TO BACKSTAB YOU! WILL SEND YOU TO THE ICU IF YOU LET HER GET TOO CLOSE! FOR YOUR INFORMATION,LIA. I BEEN THERE MORE TIMES THAN ANY KID SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR LIVES! THINK I REALLY WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER KID SHARE THAT PAIN?! NO!" Lia eyes widen as Dia yelled at her.

Dia had been in the ICU?....She didn't know....if she did she would have...

Next was Shun.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE ANALYZED THE FOOTAGE. BETTER YET, YOU SHOULD HAVE USED THAT BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD! LEO MAY HAVE A BRUTAL BRAWLING STYLE BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE REALLY GONE TOO FAR SINCE WE STARTED TO BRAWL? HM? NEVER WOULD HE REALLY HURT ANY BAKUGAN LET ALONE A HUMAN! THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLUE NUMBER ONE!! TWO WAS EVER THINKING I AM A DEMON! I FACE MY DEMONS EVERY NIGHT FROM THE NIGHTMARES I FACE! YOU NEVER LET MY VOICE BE HEARD SHUN! NEVER ONCE DID YOU BOTHER TO LISTEN LIKE I DID FOR YOU. JUST LABELLED ME A DEMON...." Shun shut his eyes as he felt the trembling in his legs.

Was this what he put Dia through?

Leonidas faced the balugan looking at them for a moment. All but Drago couldn't look him in the eye. Drago eyes were full of sorrow and held an apologetic gaze. Leonidas simply ignored it for now.

Shocking them all since they thought he yell at them as he always did. Could he really have changed from when they last spoke?

Dia faced Lightning with a mad look. He had tried to put on the cute charm to ease her rage, only to fail miserable.

SHE JUST RESISTED HIS FACE! HIS ADORABLE DOG FACE!

"BAD. DOG." That was all it took from Dia to make Lightning cower like a puppy who seeked protection from it's mother.

Dan was first greeted by a hug. Making him believe that he was in the clear from any yelling before Dia hit him in the shoulder hard. Not hard to hurt him. Just hard enough to make him say "OW!"

"What was that for?" Dan was on HER side. If anything she should punch Wynton again!

"YOU KNEW I WAS INNOCENT YET YOU DON'T CALL ME TO TELL ME THIS?! COMA OR NOT, YOU HAD MY NUMBER! FOR WEEKS I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU! NO NEW OR BEING ABLE TO VISIT BECAUSE I WAS LABELLED THE ONE TO HURT YOU! THOUGH YOU CLEARED MY NAME, YOU NEVER LET ME KNOW ABOUT YOUR WELL BEING OR DRAGO! EVEN IF YOU HATED ME TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART......knowing you were okay would have just been enough....." Tears ran down Dia face as her eyes flashed the glow of "Diamond Justice" for a brief second.

"Dia...I-I...." Dan stutter as he realized the point she made.

He should have informed her somehow that he was alright. Even if it was through a grape vine of fans.

Lastly she faced Wynton. The one whose words were like the bleeding dagger to her heart. She balled her fist to hit him again but what would that do? Nothing. No acts of violence would help this. Only words would let out the weeks worth of pain that she felt.

"You told me to get rid of Leo....Just like you told Troxx to find another partner right? Though you meant those words to me huh? LEO HELPED ME FINALLY FEEL FREE AFTER WHAT I BEEN THROUGH. YOUR VIDEOES GAVE ME THE HAPPINESS WHICH I THOUGHT WAS LONG LOST. YOU MADE ME LAUGH WYNTON. NEVER THOUGH YOU MAKE A FAN CRY! I NEVER TELL YOU TO GET RID OF TROX....THOUGH IT SEEM LIKE YOU WERE RIGHT. WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS....NOT AFTER ALL THIS! I AM LISTENING BY THE TERMS OF YOUR ULTIMATUM!" Dia then looked at them all. Wynton being sobbing mess now.

"So I have ONE for you Awesome Ones" Dia got Leonidas into his bakuball. "EARN MY FORGIVENESS IN A FIVE ON ONE BRAWL!! BEAT ME AND I WILL AGREE TO START OVER! LOSE THEN DON'T YOU EVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE "DEMONIC BRAWLER" AGAIN LIKE YOU VOWED TOO!"

The five friends looked in shock. Dia really challenged all of them to a brawl?

"Are you sure?" Dan asked

"Yes. Think of it as your first step in regaining my trust" She wanted to brawl them.

A force insisted on it.

It was agreed that one week from today is when the Apologize brawl would take place. If they wanted her forgiveness than they better EARN IT!
