Chapter 7 "The Fourth Piece"

  Mia, still weakened from everything that happened, feels her bracelet vibrating with a force she has never felt before. The light isn't normal it's a cold, violet glow, almost threatening.

  Mia (thinking):

  "This isn't a normal cal... something is pulling me."

  She arrives in Centopia, where Yuko, Mo, and Onchao are already waiting.

  Mo:

  "Mia... your bracelet detected something. An ancient energy. Older than the other pieces." Yuko:

  "The fourth piece... it's hidden in the Ruins of the Nordic Gods."

  Onchao touches the ground with his hoof a hologram appears, showing a colossal ruin surrounded by storms.

  Mia:

  "Then we go. No more wasting time."

  The ruins are massive, wrapped in lightning and winds that feel alive. On a stone pedestal, in the center of a circle of ancient pillars, lies the fourth piece violet crystal pulsing like a heartbeat. Yuko:

  "It's too quiet.. I don't like this.!" A thunderclap echoes.

  From the shadows emerge Xeanon and Zeanon, the demon twins, each wearing distinct armor.

  Xeanon (smirking):

  "Well, wel.. the little hero squad.!" Zeanon:

  "Sire Drake sent us to make sure this piece doesn't end up in your hands."

  Mia steps forward.

  Mia:

  "You don't scare me anymore. I've survived Worse than you."

  Xeanon:

  "Then show us how much you've grown, little goddess,"

  The twins split >Xeanon charges at Mo and Onchao, while Zeanon challenges Mia directly.

  Zeanon activates his magic a violet aura that distorts the air around him. Zeanon:

  don't want to kill you, Mia. just want to see if the legend is real.!"

  Mia draws her sword, still trembling from her trauma with Drake.

  Mia:

  "l'm not a legend. I'm just someone trying to protect her friends"

  Their duel begins.

  Zeanon is fast and brutal, but Mia uses the techniques she learned from Raynor and Ono. Her lightning clashes with Zeanon's demonic magic, creating small explosions in the air. Zeanon (laughing):

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Yes! Show me your true power!"

  Mia remembers Raynor's words: "Sword magic isn't just strength. It's balance." She combines lightning with sword magic a pink-electric blade.

  Mia:

  "Technique... Electric Lotus!" The strike hits Zeanon's armor, forcing him to his knees.

  Zeanon (breathing hard):

  "You're... stronger than I thought."

  While Mia fights Zeanon, Mo and Onchao face Xeanon in a fierce battle. Xeanon uses fire and earth magic, mixed with demonic techniques.

  Xeanon:

  You two... are just the warm-up!"

  Onchao stomps the ground, sending a shockwave.

  Mo leaps with his sword, attacking from above. Xeanon is pushed back but refuses to fall. Xeanon:

  "You won't stop me. Not today!"

  In the middle of the chaos, the violet crystal begins to pulse violently. The ruins tremble.

  Mia:

  "The piece... it's reacting to our magic!" The crystal rises into the air, drawn toward Mia. Zeanon watches in disbelief.

  Zeanon:

  "It chose her.. the piece chose her." Xeanon freezes, equally shocked. Xeanon:

  "No... impossible."

  The crystal lands gently in Mia's hand, and the ruins light up.

  Zeanon clutches his chest, still feeling the impact of Mia's strike.

  Zeanon:

  "Sire Drake... must hear about this." Xeanon grabs him.

  Xeanon:

  "This isn't the place to die. Retreat!" The twins vanish in a cloud of violet smoke.

  Mia stares at the violet piece, still trembling. Mia:

  "The fourth piece... but at what cost?" Yuko places a hand on her shoulder. Yuko:

  "You're not alone. Whatever comes next.. we face it together."

  Mo and Onchao nod.

  The camera rises toward the stormy sky. Thunder echoes.

  Drake (voice off, cold): "Four pieces... four steps toward my wish."

  The episode ends.
