Mia is still trembling after the fourth piece chose her.

  Yuko holds her arm, while Mo watches in silence.

  Onchao lifts his head the violet clouds above them move unnaturally.

  Mo:

  "Something's coming... something stronger than before.!"

  Yuko:

  "Mia... your bracelet is glowing again." Mia looks down.

  The light is different not violet, but gold mixed with shadow.

  Raynor calls them into the secret chamber of the palace.

  A crystal wall lights up, revealing a magical map.

  Raynor:

  "The fifth piece... is not just a fragment. It is The Stone of Balance.

  It decides who can truly wield Joseph's sword!" Mia:

  "Where is it?"

  Raynor:

  "In the Cave of Time, where Centopia's past and future collide."

  As the team approaches the cave, a burst of violet smoke blocks their path. Xeanon and Zeanon appear darker and more intense than before.

  Xeanon:

  "The fourth piece chose you, Mia. But the fifth.. belongs to us." Zeanon:

  "If you take it, you'll break the balance. And Drake will not forgive that."

  Mia, Mo, and Yuko prepare for combat. Onchao forms a shield of light. The cave opens the fifth piece floats in the center, surrounded by broken clocks and ancient runes.

  Zeanon:

  want it. Not for Drake... for myself" Xeanon:

  "Then let's see who deserves it.!" The battle begins.

  Mia vs. Zeanon: lightning + sword magic Mo & Onchao vs. Xeanon: fire, earth, and water magic

  Yuko protects the piece with unicorn shield magic

  Mia remembers Ono's words: "Balance isn't won through strength. It's won through heart."

  She fuses her sword magic with the light of her bracelet.

  Mia:

  "Technique... Lotus of Time!"

  A wave of energy strikes Zeanon, forcing him to his knees.

  Zeanon:

  "You're... stronger than the legends say."

  The fifth piece rises into the air. Xeanon and Zeanon freeze. The light splits into two one part toward Mia, one toward Mo.

  The Stone:

  "Balance is built by two."

  The fragment divides Mia and Mo each receive half..

  In the Supreme Palace, Drake watches through his crystal.

  Drake:

  "The fifth piece... has split. And Mia... is no longer alone."

  He turns toward Alexandra.

  Drake:

  "Prepare yourself.

  The next piece... will decide everything."
