Leonidas seethed in rage that steam was vaguely visible on his face. Magnus actually suggested that Dia go get the tests done that Benton had recommended to her early on. He was about to protest that the idea was ridicules and far too dangerous!

"Diamond Justice" was a power that Dia seemed to be the sole bearer of, meaning that anyone could make her a potential weapon in the wrong hands. Benton could be one who bares a friendly face now but could easily be a sheep in wolf's clothing.

DIA WAS SPARED FROM A LIFE OF TESTS AND FEAR OF BEING MADE A TOOL FOR ONE'S BENEFIT! NO REASON TO FORCE HER INTO THAT LIFE YET AGAIN!

As of this moment, Dia was on her way to Dusk Industries after clearing it with her Uncle first. The fact that even he was hesitant about it was a warning sign.

"Dia, are you certain about this? You don't have to. Magnus may think this is best for you but it may still be too soon" Leonidas looked at her with worried eyes while he sat on her shoulder.

"I know....Though with Marduk still hunting after you..." She took a deep breath before calming herself to continue to speak. "Diamond Justice", when it failed, I felt something off. As if I was someone else for a moment. We got lucky that Dan was with us. The next time it happens then someone may take you when I'm down....." She could only have imagine how everyone was worried about her.  Worse is that Marduk probably knew this would happened but chose to flee instead.

Marduk....What are plans involving the Diamond Clan? Why are you trying to make a weapon for a cause still unknown? Her brother never did this sort of thing till the day he went missing....Could that dragon bakugan have some sort of hold over him?

Then Leonidas shared some comforting words that put her in better spirits.

"Well the moment you feel any discomfort then we leave. You are my precious and irreplaceable partner. I, Diamond Leonidas vow to protect you from now and forever. Diana Crystal Jenkins. The Diamond Queen of this bakugan warrior." Dia heart couldn't help but beat merrily to her partner's words.

Right. This time when she faced these tests and physicals, she had Leonidas by her side now.

He already made it clear that if she so much as cry then HE RIP THAT LAB TO SCRAP METAL AND PERSONALLY MAKE THOSE RESPONSIBLE PAY!!

Benton was outside to greet them. Still was in shock. from last time they were in his care. Thankifully he never seemed mad about the damage Leo caused. Must have something to do with hanging around the Awesome Ones. He wasn't alone either. Beside him was the one person that Dia wasn't ready to see yet. Not since the whole Apology Brawl.

"GRRRRR! Why is he here?" Leonidas glared at Wynton as he let out a low snarl.

HAD THIS BOY NOT HURT HER ENOUGH?!

"Hey Dia..." Wynton seemed sadden that Dia didn't want to make eye contact with him.

"I've asked Wynton to help since he seemed to understand energies from Vestoria. We believe that your new power may stem from a hidden power within Vestoria itself. We only need a blood test and a few physical scans. Nothing too overwhelming I hope" He looked nervous while recalling how Leonidas reacted when he first suggested it. Best not to anger a Bakugan.

"Alright then..." Dia already made up her mind to do these tests. Just because Wynton was there did not make her want to give up.

To be honest, Dia still had a hard time being around Wynton since his painful words still longered deep within the core of her heart. How he was forcing her to make a choice in abandoning Leo for a crime which he did not even do.... How he gave her the coldest stares in the classes which they shared. The videos he participated in that he stated for all brawlers to treat her like an outcast demon. The apology alone was not enough for her to forgove him just yet.
