Lloyd looks very angry and Kai... Well he's just worried.

Lol I like to think they don't wanna get another adventure.

But with Mia around that's basically impossible.

Bro is like "why are you making us marry I haven't even seen her for years ever since the merge.

.... That's a lie I saw her last week'

Kai groaned as Mia fastened the last laces on his formal dress, adjusting the collar with a teasing grin.

"Why do we go through this every wedding?" Kai grumbled, shifting uncomfortably in the attire.

Mia shrugged nonchalantly, a playful glint in her eyes. "It's fun watching you squirm," she teased, giving one of the laces a playful tug.

Skylar emerged from the dressing room, wearing a simple dress and leggings. Mia's eyes widened in disbelief, and she almost fainted on the spot.

"You're wearing that?!" Mia yelled, her voice echoing through the room.

Skylar blinked, looking down at her outfit with confusion. "Uh... yeah? What's wrong with it?"

Mia slapped her forehead in exasperation. "Where is the gown I gave you?"

Skylar's eyes darted to the side as she hesitated. "Uh... in my room?"

Mia pointed towards the dressing room with authority. "Go wear it!"

Skylar sighed, knowing it was useless to argue. "Fine," she mumbled, dragging herself back to the dressing room to change.

Meanwhile, Kai looked around the venue, trying to distract himself from the uncomfortable attire. The entire place was decked out in flashy lights, all of them a fiery red. Flames seemed to dance along the walls, casting a warm glow that flickered like real fire.

Even the seats had intricate fire designs embroidered onto them, making the whole venue feel like it was burning with energy. Kai couldn't help but smirk a little. "Trust Mia to make everything about fire," he thought to himself.

Mia, satisfied that Skylar was finally complying with her demands, turned her attention back to Kai, adjusting the lapels of his outfit with a critical eye.

"You look good, Kai," she said, her tone softening as she admired her handiwork.

Kai rolled his eyes but couldn't suppress a small smile. "Yeah, yeah. Just remind me why I have to do this again?"

"Because you're the best man, and you need to look the part," Mia replied matter-of-factly.

"Well, next time, let's skip the fancy dress," Kai muttered.

Mia chuckled. "Not a chance, fireboy. Now, let's get moving. The ceremony's about to start, and I want everything to be perfect."

As Skylar finally re-emerged in the gown Mia had chosen, Kai almost choked on air. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The gown was an intense shade of red, shimmering with white rhinestones that sparkled under the venue's fiery lights. A big, extravagant bow sat on the back, drawing even more attention to the already eye-catching dress. But the most startling part? Every move Skylar made was followed by a series of jingles, like tiny bells sewn into the fabric.

Skylar stood there, her face a mixture of embarrassment and resignation. "Mia, is this really necessary?" she asked, her voice almost drowned out by the constant jingling.

Mia, however, was absolutely delighted. She clapped her hands together, eyes gleaming with excitement. "It's perfect! You look like a walking firecracker—just what I wanted!"

Kai, struggling to keep a straight face, coughed awkwardly into his hand. "Mia, I think you might have gone a little overboard with the bells," he suggested gently, trying not to laugh.

Mia waved off his concern. "Nonsense! Skylar, you look amazing, and the jingles add a little something special. Trust me, you'll be the talk of the wedding!"

Skylar sighed deeply, glancing down at the gown. "Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of," she muttered, her tone laced with sarcasm.

Kai finally let out a chuckle, shaking his head. "Well, at least no one will lose you in a crowd," he teased.

Skylar shot him a look, but there was a hint of a smile on her lips. "Just try not to laugh too hard when I walk down the aisle, okay?"

"I'll do my best," Kai promised, still grinning.

Mia, oblivious to Skylar's mild discomfort, grabbed both of their hands, practically bouncing with energy. "Come on, you two! We've got a wedding to make unforgettable!"

Then, Kai wanted to go get some water. He saw Jay's face and grinned. But when Kai saw Jay's outfit, he stopped in his tracks and gasped. Jay was dressed in a flowing blue gown that looked like it was made from the finest silk, with a shimmering quality that caught the light as he moved. But what really caught Kai's attention were the accessories—Jay had a headband that sparkled with small jewels, and to top it all off, a bunch of bows were scattered all over his body, from his shoulders to his waist. Each bow was perfectly tied and somehow managed to make the entire outfit even more whimsical.

Kai blinked, trying to process the sight. "Jay... you look..."

"Ridiculous?" Jay finished for him, grinning sheepishly. "Mia insisted. She said the bows add 'flair.'"

Kai stifled a laugh, his eyes twinkling. "You definitely have flair, that's for sure."

Before Kai could fully recover from the surprise, he noticed Cole approaching. Kai's jaw nearly dropped. Cole was dressed in a full-blown hippie outfit, complete with a tie-dye shirt, fringed vest, and bell-bottom pants. A peace sign necklace hung around his neck, and he had a floral headband across his forehead, his hair slightly tousled to match the laid-back look.

Cole looked down at his outfit, then back up at Kai, raising an eyebrow. "Don't ask. This was apparently Mia's idea of 'appropriate wedding attire.'"

Kai burst out laughing, shaking his head in disbelief. "Mia really went all out, didn't she?"

Jay joined in the laughter, shrugging. "She said weddings are supposed to be memorable, so she wanted to make sure we all stood out. Mission accomplished, I'd say."

Cole rolled his eyes, but there was a smile on his face. "Yeah, well, at least we'll give people something to talk about."

As the three of them stood there, dressed in their wildly mismatched outfits, they couldn't help but laugh together. The absurdity of it all somehow made the moment even more special, a reminder that even in the most formal of events, it was the bonds of friendship and family that mattered most.

Kai finally managed to compose himself, wiping away a tear of laughter. "Well, let's get this show on the road. We've got a wedding to attend—and with these outfits, I'm sure we'll be the stars of the show."

This is how Mia looks

Yes, I made her.

And yes, I know she looks awful.

I am not much of an artist, though I do love to draw and stuff.

This is her regular days

And this is her face with her mask.

If there are people out there who wanna make Mia look better than be my guest!

As Master Wu entered the room, he was dressed in his usual robes, the embodiment of wisdom and tradition. But when his eyes landed on Cole, he immediately stopped in his tracks, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"Cole, what in the name of the First Spinjitzu Master are you wearing?!" Wu exclaimed, his voice almost a choke.

Cole looked down at his tie-dye shirt and fringed vest, then back up at Wu with a sheepish grin. "Uh, it's... fashion?"

Before Wu could respond, Mia appeared beside him, holding up a bundle of clothes with an enthusiastic smile. "Oh, good, Master Wu, you're here! I've got just the outfit for you!" She handed him the bundle, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Wu hesitantly took the clothes from Mia and unfolded them, revealing a matching hippie outfit, complete with bell-bottoms, a floral vest, and a peace sign necklace. His eyebrows shot up in alarm, and he quickly shook his head. "Mia, I am not going to dress as a hippie!" he declared, his voice firm but tinged with humor.

Mia pouted, trying her best to look persuasive. "But Master Wu, it's for the wedding! We're all supposed to look unique and memorable! Don't you want to have a little fun?"

Wu sighed, glancing around at the others in their outlandish attire. He had to admit, they all looked absolutely ridiculous, but there was a sense of camaraderie and joy in the air. He could see the light-hearted spirit behind Mia's intentions.

"Fun..." Wu muttered to himself, contemplating the idea. Then, with a resigned sigh, he handed the clothes back to Mia. "Alright, but on one condition. I'll keep my robes on underneath."

Mia's face lit up with a victorious grin. "Deal! Now let's get you changed, Master Wu. You're going to look awesome!"

As Wu reluctantly allowed Mia to guide him towards the changing area, the rest of the group exchanged amused glances. This wedding was shaping up to be more of an adventure than anyone had anticipated.

Just as Master Wu was being guided away, Nya made her entrance, struggling with a ridiculously long dress that trailed several feet behind her. The dress was a deep shade of blue with layers upon layers of fabric, making it look more like she was wearing a small mountain. As she took a few wobbly steps, it became clear that the dress was far too much for her to handle.

Nya's foot caught on the hem, and she began to stumble forward, her arms flailing as she tried to keep her balance. Before she could hit the ground, Jay rushed forward and caught her just in time.

"Whoa! Got you!" Jay exclaimed, holding her steady.

Nya sighed in relief, her face slightly flushed. "Thanks, Jay. That could've been bad."

Jay helped her stand upright, and then he stepped back to get a better look at her outfit. His eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight before him. "Nya... what are you wearing?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.

Nya glanced down at the dress and then back up at Jay, her expression a mix of embarrassment and helplessness. "It's... Mia's idea," she admitted. "She wanted something dramatic. But I didn't expect it to be this... dramatic."

Jay's gaze drifted down to her feet, and that's when he saw them—the 15-inch heels that looked more like stilts than actual shoes. His face paled, and he nearly lost his balance just imagining trying to walk in those things. "Are you serious? Fifteen-inch heels?!" he exclaimed, nearly fainting from the absurdity of it all.

Nya gave a sheepish smile, wobbling slightly as she adjusted her stance. "Yeah... I'm starting to think this wasn't the best idea."

Jay shook his head, trying to comprehend how anyone could think these outfits were a good plan. "Okay, new rule: no one gets hurt before the wedding. Let's see if we can get you out of those shoes before you break an ankle."

As Jay knelt down to help Nya out of the towering heels, the others in the room couldn't help but laugh. The wedding preparations were quickly turning into a comedy of errors, but in the midst of all the chaos, there was a warmth and togetherness that made it all worthwhile.

Mia turned to Kai with an eager expression, her energy as unstoppable as ever. "Alright, Kai, what color cake do you want? And hey, do you want a toilet emoji on it?" she asked, her tone serious despite the absurdity of the question.

Skylar, who was still adjusting to the jingling of her gown, blinked in shock. "What? A toilet emoji?!"

Mia nodded, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Yeah, apparently it's a new craze. Everyone's doing it."

Kai stared at Mia for a moment, clearly trying to process the idea. "Uh... I think I'll pass on the toilet emoji. Can we please just have a fire-themed cake? Something that actually looks, you know, fiery?"

Mia grinned and gave a quick nod. "Sure thing! I can totally do that." Without missing a beat, she whipped out her phone and started barking orders into it, her voice firm and authoritative. "Yeah, I need a chocolate cake, 19 tiers, with fire-related toppings and stuff. Make it look epic! And don't forget the flames—real ones if you can manage it!"

Skylar looked at Mia with a mixture of disbelief and admiration. "You really don't do anything halfway, do you?"

Mia winked at her. "Go big or go home, right?"

Kai, relieved that the cake was at least going to match the theme, couldn't help but smile at Mia's enthusiasm. "Thanks, Mia. Just... try not to burn down the venue with that cake."

Mia waved off his concern. "Don't worry, I've got this under control. This is going to be the best fire-themed wedding cake ever!"

As the vendors arrived, Kai peeked out the window and saw them unloading various fire-themed decorations, desserts, and props. Everything was ablaze with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, and there were even pyrotechnics being set up to enhance the fiery atmosphere.

Skylar, standing beside Kai, took it all in and said, "Wow. That's amazing. Given the fact I can also control fire for a period of time, it feels like this was made for me."

Kai nodded, impressed by the elaborate setup. "Yeah, and not just fire—other elements too. You've got quite the range."

Skylar shrugged nonchalantly, a small smile playing on her lips. "Eh, it's just what I do. But this... this is something else. Mia really outdid herself."

Kai chuckled. "She always does. If there's one thing Mia knows, it's how to make an impact."

The fiery decorations were a perfect reflection of the day's energy—vivid, intense, and full of life. As more vendors streamed in, bringing in fire-themed flowers, flaming torches, and even a fire-breathing performer, the venue started to resemble a scene straight out of a fantasy.

Skylar gave Kai a playful nudge. "Think you'll be able to keep up with all this fire?"

Kai smirked. "I think I'll manage. But let's just hope the cake doesn't actually catch fire when Mia lights those candles."

Skylar laughed, the sound blending with the lively preparations around them. "Yeah, that would be one way to really heat things up!"

---------

The grand hall was adorned with flickering flames, vibrant reds, and blazing oranges, all contributing to the fiery extravaganza Mia had planned. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as Master Wu began the ceremonial blessings, his voice echoing softly over the gathered guests.

"Today, we celebrate not only the union of two souls but the strength of their bond and their commitment to each other," Master Wu intoned, his robes shimmering under the ambient light. "May this marriage be as enduring as the flames that light our path—steadfast and unwavering."

Just as Wu was about to continue, a sudden burst of dark energy crashed through the hall. The doors flung open with a thunderous bang, and a villain emerged, cloaked in shadow and menace. His eyes gleamed with malicious intent, and a sinister grin spread across his face as he surveyed the chaos he was about to unleash.

"Looks like the party's just getting started," the villain sneered.

Skylar and Kai, reacting instantly, leaped into action. Skylar's fiery aura flared to life, her control over the flames creating a protective barrier around her and Kai. Kai's own fire powers roared in response, weaving intricate patterns of flame in an attempt to counter the threat.

But as they unleashed their combined fire, something went awry. The flames, intended to defend, surged uncontrollably. The fiery decorations, initially meant to enhance the ambiance, were now engulfed in an unrestrained blaze. The vibrant reds turned into blinding infernos, and the once beautifully adorned venue became a seething sea of flames.

Skylar's eyes widened in shock as the fire rapidly spread, the heat becoming almost unbearable. "No! The decorations!" she shouted, desperately trying to contain the blaze with her powers, but the flames only grew fiercer.

The villain, watching with satisfaction, cackled as the chaos unfolded. "Isn't this a delightful turn of events?"

Amid the pandemonium, Mia's eyes darted around the room in horror. Her meticulous planning was unraveling before her very eyes. Seeing the flames inching dangerously close, she dashed towards her room, her heart pounding with panic. She reached her door, fumbled with the lock, and finally managed to slam it shut and bolt it from the inside.

Kai, his face grim with concern, turned to Wu and the remaining guests. "Everyone, we need to get out of here! The fire's getting out of control!"

Wu nodded solemnly, his usually serene demeanor replaced with urgency. "Everyone, evacuate immediately. We need to ensure everyone's safety!"

As guests scrambled towards the exits, Kai and Skylar worked to manage the raging fire, their efforts hindered by the overwhelming intensity of the flames. Skylar's fiery blasts clashed with the villain's dark energy, creating a dazzling but dangerous spectacle. The fire's roar filled the hall, and the intense heat warped the air, making it difficult to breathe.

Kai's heart ached as he glanced towards Mia's locked room. "Mia!" he called out, but there was no response from behind the door. "We have to get her out of there!"

Skylar, her face streaked with sweat and soot, joined him. "We need to get through that door, Kai! It's not safe for her in there!"

The villain, now reveling in the destruction, made a mock bow. "Well, isn't this a lovely mess? I think my work here is done."

With that, the villain vanished into the chaos, leaving the remaining heroes to contend with the fiery disaster. Kai and Skylar's powers, though formidable, were struggling to subdue the ever-growing blaze.

Kai, determined to save his sister, looked around frantically for a way to break into Mia's room. He and Skylar quickly grabbed nearby fire extinguishers and began to douse the flames, hoping to create a safe path to the door. Their combined efforts, though valiant, were barely making a dent in the inferno.

"Mia, we're coming for you!" Kai shouted, his voice filled with desperation.

Inside the room, Mia sat huddled in a corner, trembling as the sounds of the fire and the chaos outside reached her ears. Her heart raced with fear, her breaths coming in quick, shallow gasps. She tried to calm herself, but the overwhelming noise and the searing heat from the door made it nearly impossible.

"Mia!" Kai's voice penetrated her fear, and she scrambled to her feet, her hands shaking as she tried to unlock the door. "Kai! Help me!"

With a final, powerful burst of effort, Kai and Skylar managed to break through the flames surrounding the door. The door creaked open, revealing Mia, her face streaked with tears and soot.

"Mia!" Kai pulled her into a tight embrace, his relief palpable. "Are you okay?"

Mia clung to him, her voice muffled against his shoulder. "I thought I was going to be trapped!"

Skylar quickly moved to help, using her powers to further douse the flames and clear a safe path. "We need to get out of here, now!"

Together, they made their way out of the burning venue, the heat and smoke making every step a challenge. As they emerged into the cool night air, the full scale of the damage became clear. The once-beautiful hall was now a charred, smoldering wreck.

Despite the devastation, Kai's focus remained on his sister. "Are you alright, Mia? Did you get hurt?"

Mia shook her head, still clinging to Kai. "I'm fine. Just... scared."

Kai nodded, his relief evident. "We'll get through this. You're safe now."

As the last of the guests and staff were evacuated and the fire was slowly brought under control, the reality of the evening's events sank in. The celebration had been reduced to ashes, but the most important thing was that everyone was safe.

Mia looked at the ruined venue, her heart heavy with sadness. "I'm so sorry, Kai. I wanted everything to be perfect."

Kai squeezed her hand reassuringly. "It's not your fault, Mia. We'll rebuild, and we'll do it even better next time. What matters is that we're all safe."

Skylar, who had been working tirelessly to help control the fire, finally joined them. "You did your best, Mia. We'll figure out how to move forward from this."

As they stepped outside into the cool night air, the remnants of the ruined wedding venue smoldering behind them, Mia's emotions boiled over. Her small hands clenched into fists, her face flushed with a mix of anger and frustration. She glared at the wreckage, the flames reflecting in her tear-filled eyes.

"I hate weddings!" she shouted, her voice trembling with emotion. "I'm not planning another one, ever! Never!" Without another word, Mia turned on her heel and bolted away from the group, her footsteps echoing in the quiet night as she disappeared into the darkness.

Jay watched her go, his heart sinking. He felt a heavy weight settle in his chest, guilt gnawing at him. "We messed up, didn't we?" he said quietly, his voice filled with regret. He turned to the others, his expression pained. "She was just helping, and... we pushed her away."

Cole, who had been silently watching the scene unfold, nodded slowly. His usually calm demeanor was replaced by a deep sense of remorse. "He's right," Cole said, his voice low. "Mia was helping. She put her heart and soul into this wedding, and we... we took that for granted."

Lloyd sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I didn't realize how much this meant to her. All those plans, the decorations, the cake... it was all her way of showing how much she cares. And we just... let it all fall apart."

Skylar, still catching her breath from the fire, looked down at her dress, now singed at the edges. "She just wanted everything to be perfect for us. And now she feels like it's all her fault."

Wu, standing quietly nearby, had a thoughtful look on his face. "Mia's anger comes from a place of deep care," he said, his tone measured. "She put so much effort into making this day special for everyone. But sometimes, when things don't go as planned, it's easy to lose sight of the intentions behind those efforts."

Kai, who had been feeling the weight of the evening's events, finally spoke up. "We need to find her and make this right. She's probably blaming herself for everything that went wrong, but none of this was her fault."

Cole nodded in agreement. "We owe it to her to apologize and let her know how much we appreciate everything she did."

Jay, determined, looked in the direction where Mia had run off. "Let's go. We can't let her think we don't care. She's done so much for us, and it's time we show her just how much that means."

In Dragon Rising, Jay has yellow lightning with blue. Before, only Blue.

He's very weird.

But he's my brother

I know, Mia

I know.

Back to the story.

I hate weddings.

You just told us that.

Also, I just realized their hair kinda matches their powers.

Like Kai and Jay

Other's IDK

They ran toward the shoreline where they found Mia standing alone, staring out at the calm water. The moonlight reflected off the waves, casting a soft glow on her tear-streaked face. The others approached cautiously, unsure of what to say or how to comfort her.

Jay was the first to speak, his voice gentle. "Mia..."

 " What do you want now?" she cut him off sharply, not even bothering to turn around. "Kai and Skylar burned their wedding down. Be happy. I'm not doing any more weddings anytime soon." Her tone was laced with bitterness, her usual spark dimmed by the events of the day.

Before anyone else could respond, Nelson appeared, jogging up to them with a determined look on his face. "Oh, come on, Mia! Ninja never quit!" he said, trying to inject some of his usual optimism into the situation.

Mia finally turned to face them, her expression hardened. "Nelson, there comes a time in life when you have to," she replied, her voice cold and resolute. The weight of her words hung in the air, silencing everyone around her.

Nelson, not one to back down easily, slapped his hand against his forehead in exasperation. "Come on, really? You can't be serious," he said, his frustration evident.

But Mia had reached her breaking point. Her emotions, pent up and festering, finally erupted. "So serious!"" she snapped, her voice rising with each word. Nelson, taken aback by the force of her anger, took a step back, raising his hands defensively.

"Okay, okay," he said quickly, his eyes wide. "Calm down."

Mia's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at him. "Calm down?!" she echoed, her voice trembling with the intensity of her emotions. "You think I should calm down after everything that's happened? I worked so hard to make everything perfect, and it all went up in flames—literally!"

Jay stepped forward, trying to soothe her. "Mia, we know how much effort you put into this. We're sorry we didn't appreciate it sooner, but please, don't take this all on yourself."

Mia shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. "It's not just about the wedding. It's about everything. I wanted to help, to make things special for all of you, but all I did was mess it up."

Cole moved closer, his voice soft but firm. "Mia, you didn't mess anything up. What happened wasn't your fault. We were the ones who didn't handle things right."

Skylar, still feeling guilty about the fire, spoke up as well. "Mia, I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. We should've been more careful, and we should've appreciated everything you did."

Mia looked at each of them, her anger slowly melting away into sadness. "I just... I just wanted to make you all happy," she whispered, her voice cracking.

Kai, who had been silent until now, finally stepped forward. "You did, Mia. You made us happy. We're just sorry we didn't show it the way we should have." He placed a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it gently. "We love you, and we're grateful for everything you've done."

Mia's resolve finally broke, and she let out a shaky breath, her tears spilling over. "I just wanted it to be perfect," she said softly, her voice filled with the vulnerability she had tried so hard to hide.

Jay wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a comforting hug. "It doesn't have to be perfect, Mia. We're just glad to have you with us. That's what matters most."

Mia's glare was sharp, her eyes still shimmering with unshed tears. "Says the person who told Nya I'm going extreme," she retorted, her voice tinged with both hurt and frustration.

Jay's eyes widened in surprise, guilt immediately washing over his face. "You heard that?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Mia's expression softened slightly, though her frustration remained evident. "It's the wind, Jay," she replied, her voice quieter now but still firm. "It tells me things."

Jay's shoulders slumped, and he sighed deeply, realizing the impact of his words. "Mia, I didn't mean it like that," he said earnestly. "I was just worried you were putting too much pressure on yourself. But I see now that I didn't handle it the right way."

Mia looked at him for a long moment, the weight of their bond hanging in the air between them. "I just wanted everything to be special," she said, her voice wavering slightly. "I didn't want to disappoint any of you."

Jay gently took her hand, his expression sincere. "And you didn't," he assured her. "You made everything special because you cared so much. We just got caught up in our own things and didn't realize how much you were doing."

Mia's eyes softened further, the anger slowly fading away. "I just wish... things didn't always go wrong," she admitted, her voice small.

Jay squeezed her hand. "We'll figure it out together, Mia. That's what family's for," he said with a gentle smile.

Mia finally allowed herself a small smile, feeling the warmth of her brother's reassurance. "Okay," she murmured, her voice more at ease. "But you better not say anything like that again."

Jay chuckled softly. "I promise," he said, pulling her into another hug. "No more extreme comments."

As the tension between Mia and Jay finally eased, Kai, who had been quietly observing the exchange, broke the silence with a smirk. "So... what are we going to do about the villain who trashed my wedding?" he asked, a hint of mischief in his voice.

Skylar, standing beside him with a raised eyebrow, quickly corrected, "Our wedding, Kai."

Kai gave her a sheepish grin. "Right, our wedding," he echoed, nodding in agreement.

Mia, who had been regaining her composure, suddenly pulled out a knife from her belt. With practiced ease, she began sharpening it on a whetstone, the sharp metallic sound echoing in the now-quiet surroundings. The glint in her eye was unmistakable—a mix of determination and barely restrained fury.

Jay, standing next to her, couldn't help but gulp audibly. "M-Mia, what are you doing?" he asked nervously, eyeing the knife with a mixture of concern and caution.

Mia didn't look up as she continued sharpening the blade. "What do you think, Jay?" she replied, her tone dangerously calm. "No one messes with my work—or my family—and gets away with it."

Kai exchanged a glance with Skylar, who nodded in agreement. "I'm all for taking down that villain," Skylar said, her voice firm. "But we might need a plan that doesn't involve... too much bloodshed."

Mia finally looked up, her expression serious but with a small, knowing smile. "Relax, Skylar. I'm not going to do anything too drastic." She paused, the knife glinting in the light as she finished sharpening it. "But they're going to regret ever ruining this day."

Jay shifted uncomfortably, clearly not entirely convinced but too wary to say anything more. "Well, as long as you have a plan," he said, trying to sound upbeat but failing to mask the nervousness in his voice.

Kai laughed, patting Jay on the back. "Don't worry, little brother. Mia's just making sure we're ready for whatever comes next."

Skylar added with a grin, "Besides, we can handle anything as long as we stick together."

Mia sheathed the knife, her resolve solidified. "Alright then, let's get to work. We've got a villain to catch and a wedding to salvage."

As Mia finished sheathing her knife, she suddenly bolted forward with a fierce battle cry that echoed through the air. Without hesitation, she charged in the direction where the villain had last been seen, her determination blazing as brightly as the fire that had consumed the wedding earlier.

Kai and Skylar, caught off guard by Mia's sudden outburst, instinctively covered each other's eyes, as if to shield themselves from whatever chaos Mia was about to unleash. "I think we should just let her handle this one," Skylar muttered, peeking through her fingers.

Kai nodded in agreement, his own hands still covering Skylar's eyes. "Yeah, definitely. Mia's got this."

Meanwhile, Jay and Cole stood back, watching Mia's fierce determination with a mix of awe and trepidation. They exchanged a quick glance, both silently acknowledging the sheer force of nature that Mia had become.

Cole took a step back, eyeing Mia warily as she disappeared from sight. "Your sister is dangerous," he remarked, his voice low but tinged with admiration. "Remind me never to get on her bad side."

Jay nodded, his face a mix of pride and concern. "Tell me about it. She's a force to be reckoned with, that's for sure."

As Mia's battle cry faded into the distance, the group stood there, momentarily stunned by the whirlwind of energy that had just passed through.

Cole sighed, shaking his head with a small smile. "Let's just hope the villain knows what they're up against. Because they definitely picked the wrong wedding to crash."

Jay chuckled, though his eyes remained on the path Mia had taken. "Yeah... they really did."
