Diamond Queen. Brawler in the Rough

Draconic Rage! Traumatic Rampage!

Lightning had spent four days at the Jenkins residence while Dia recovered. The french bulldog was a great support dog and friend. Thus when Dia was finally strong enough to go outside, the four legged brawler ran around her in merriment. He's been more happy than the time he dug up that huge bone. That Leonidas may or may not have gotten him. Afterwards the two parted ways. Lightning fully intended to visit the diamond brawler occasionally to check up on her.

Dia was relieved that she had recovered. As much as she enjoyed her uncle love, she missed being able to go outside. The others were worried about her. Though she quickly reassured them that she would be fine with a few days of rest.

SEE DAN?! A TEXT IS JUST ENOUGH TO RELIEVE WORRY! A TEXT IS ENOUGH!!

Dia was glad that she was able to go outside today of all days. Especially since it was her meeting day with Magnus aka her teacher. He was also her friend true friend who had stayed by her side through the whole framing incident. The one whotrained her to be a better brawler and partner to Leonidas and herself. The two kept in contact daily in a secret chat. Mostly due to the fact that Magnus wanted to keep their friendship a secret for now. Thinking the brawlers may view it as Magnus trying to pull Dia to the dark side. Though in Dia's eyes, Magnus was a brotherly figure that seemed to support her through thick and thin. He seemed to care for her more than Marduk at the moment.

Marduk. The mere thought of his name made Dia feel uneasy still. How could do what he did?! The events replayed in her mind still trouble her to this day. Worse part! What was the worse part is that he didn't seem to be the least bit sorry about it either!

HOW?! JUST HOW COULD HE?! AFTER KNOWING WHAT HIS LITTLE SISTER WENT THROUGH WITH "ADVENTURA", HOW DARE HE DO THE SAME TO-

Dia mind froze in realization just as she was a block away from the meeting spot. She had never truly asked Leonidas about what Marduk made him go through. He had been Marduk test subject for TWO straight years without anyone's knowledge. Leonidas had been experimented and altered against his will. He might act tough as he tries to hide his fear through anger, yet it was clear to see that he was suffering as Dia did with "Adventura".

Just how does anyone go through that? Dia at least had family to aid her through the troubles. Leonidas did not. Sure he was surrounded by Diamond Faction Bakugan, but they did nothing to really help him. They were most likely torturing him under Marduk orders. Even trying to pull him back into that scorching prison that Dia freed him from.

There were moments that Dia saw that he still held trauma from that day.

A faint recollection came to Dia. She recalled pasting a construction site after one school day, it was the early days of their partnership. Back when Leo still addressed her as "Girl" and demanded twenty to thirty brawls daily. The two had been in a deep conversation that day. Dia couldn't remember what it was about. Probably something about her struggling with throwing not one but THREE diamond faction bakucores, missing all three times. When a whirling sound had made her dragon partner freeze in mid air.

If that drill was alive and taunted him. Making the fearless dragon unable to move. As if he was in a nerve shocking pain which made his limbs lose all desire to obey him. Then before Dia had a chance to speak, Leo had let out a dormant rage within himself. Going to his true size and destroying all the eauipment in his path.Setting half the site on fire and destroy thousands of dollars in equipment. Grown men running away from the scene like frighten little school girls who seen a tiny spider. Dia had struggled to call back Leonidas before he could do any further damage.

She had thought that the drill was bothering him to the point where he wanted to shut it up LITERALLY. Now with recent events..., there was another reason why he acted that way.
