Benton ran every possible test on Dia. Tracing a powerful energy radiating from her body. As if that energy been with her all her life, as far back as infant. He wanted to get a sample of blood to get a better analysis of the energy. Leonidas then snarled at the man. HOW DARE HE SUGGEST THAT!! He then grabbed Dia. Taking her away before letting this man turn his precious partner into a lab rat. Not how he had spend for two long years in the hands of Marduk. He rather be destroyed before he ever allowed Dia to suffer a similar fate!

NO ONE SHALL DO THAT TO EITHER OF THEM! NEVER WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE!!

Surprising Dan and Benton with his human disguise, looking entirely like a human being except the small version of his wings that popped out of his back. Taking Dia into his arms before taking her back home. Dia thrashed a few times in his arms. Her face riddled with fear while sweat drenched her face. A strange energy could be felt pulsing through her being. A dark surge of what seemed like "Diamond Justice" but darker.

Leo knew that expression all too well. One that tells of past traumas which the brain allows to slip out in sleep. Harmful illusions that fool the mind as a "dream". He tried to coax her awake but to no avail. This was worrisome since he could always wake her up.

Even that time when Dia was exchausted from three days without sleep. Just a whisper in the ear, and the girl jolt up like she had had been struck by lightning.

"Is this because of "Diamond Justice"? Please Dia be strong...." Leonidas brought Dia close to his heart. "Do not all "Them" to win! You are no longer alone. You have me to shoulder your pains that you store deep into your heart. Marduk may have hurt me, but you are NOT him! Dia, my dear "Diamond Queen" please wake up" Leo pleaded. Flying straight to Jasper's.

Jasper may be able to help her. He knows her much longer since she was his niece. Humans were so much frailer than Bakugan. They had a lower pain tolerance than Bakugan. Thus they had ways to handle pains such as this. At least he hoped so.

This got the attention of someone nearby. Seeing the flying human carrying Dia caused them to worry. Tracking their scent, Lightning ran after the two as quickly as his legs could carry him.

Leo gave Jasper a detailed explanation which he excluded Marduk from it. It was already heartbreaking for Dia. He never shall her tremble with sorrow and betrayal like that. Her eyes filled with such hatred and uncertainties that could have conflicted with the brawl if she allow them too. How she didn't allow them to cloud her brawling was a strong sense of her character. Though those walls can only hold back the pain for so long. Her brother being the sole culprit in her suffering, Leonidas's tormentor for two years. He could at least spare the man who welcomed him into his family. What mattered most right now was Diana safety.

"I'll keep watch over her" Leo told Jasper who made Dia comfortable in her room. He looked the most worried than the dragon Bakugan ever saw him.

Leo claws dugged deep into his arms as he looked like he witnessed something that fifty sessions of therapy wouldn't fix.

"Call me the moment she wakes up please" Jasper left to prepare a fresh pot of coffee. They would need about five of them.

While in the kitchen, Jasper heard a scratching sound at the front door. Odd since it was far too late for any kids to be out. He went over to check who could be up at such a late hour. He was certainly surprised to see a french bulldog in front of him, whimpering in worry. He recalled that Dia mentioning that one of the Awesome Ones members was a dog. He never expected a tiny dog like this.

His owner must be worried. Wait did he have an owner? Should he call the Awesome Ones? He should ask Dia about this once she wakes up.

"You're Lightning huh? Isn't it a bit late for you to be wondering this late?" Jasper patted the dog's head.
