Since birth, fighting has always been in my blood. Both of my parents were frontline fighters during the war, and they were very good at what they do. Lately, though, but nothing has ever happened on my home planet of Netheia. The war was finally over. Castle Knights weren't needed to go out and look terror in the eye, casualties were not a sight that people would see on a day-to-day basis, and I, Angela Arwell, went back to my duties as my parents had many years before…guarding the royal family and keeping my skills sharp.

However, tonight wasn't the multitude of peaceful nights that Netheia had grown so accustomed to. Tonight it was once again the nightmarish destruction associated with the war that had ended all of those years ago. I instinctively grabbed my uniform jumpsuit with the armor plating and ran down the stairs only to see my captain shouting commands.

"Captain Elrite, Sergeant Arwell reporting for duty, sir," I shouted, looking up at the screen.

"Good," my captain said. "But this is just a Bakugan going amuck in the streets. It's nothing that the squads can't handle on their own."

"But—"

"They can take care of it for now, Angel, and I will be with them. So for now you can go back to guarding Princess Fabia," he responded, walking by me. Maybe I should have been grateful that I had no work to do this time other than guarding the princess, but like I said, the fight was always in my blood. I didn't want to accept it, but maybe this was for the best.

"Please you have to stop me…"

Or maybe not.

A voice filled my head with the same chanting over and over again. As much as I wanted to tune it out, I just could not seem to ignore it. The voice sounded human, female, and in pain, in misery.

"Fourth company reporting! Requesting assistance, Bakugan is of unidentifiable attribute and already closing in towards the capital city!"

I growled, and knowing full well that the group needed help, I went onto the radio. "This is Sergeant Arwell. I'm sending Fifth Company right now to help you guys out,"I shouted over the radio but in reality I wasn't going to send in reinforcements—I was going out there myself, regardless of the risk. Someone was in pain out there right now, and I was going out there.

It was then that I saw the extent of the damage that was caused. Fire had engulfed most of the civilian buildings and people running about the ground trying to hide from the rampaging Bakugan. "Please, I'm not in control of my body, and whatever thing you hold dear is pulling to me!"

The voice didn't seem to belong to a human, and I had got my first look at the Bakugan that was causing all of the destruction to my homeland. It was monsterous, a two-colored Bakugan, one side with chains on its body covered in black, almost restraining it back with a wing that almost looked demonic. The other half seemed almost angelic in its essence with nothing holding the other side back and a feathery wing and shone of an angelic white, neatly and orderly without any chaos.

But whichever side you saw, you saw that this creature had no emotion except for the sheer rage that it held. "Alright," I yelled to the creature "You want me to 'save' you. How should I go about that?" And in that moment you could have written me off for the loony bin because the creature did not seem to respond to me at all and the voice in my head just kept getting louder and louder. This better be worth risking my life and rank over, I thought angrily. As soon as the creature turned around I took a running start leaping onto its massive back where I had started to slip, clawing my way to find a footing on the slick scales until I grabbed a loose chain on its body around its back.

Instinctively I grabbed it, not wanting to fall to my death. As I looked up, I saw the massive creature fighting the knights with their Bakugan. There was no time to catch the attention of Elrite. I kept climbing, beams of light whizzing past my face and explosions coming off, until finally I saw the back of the head of the massive beast. As I kept clawing my way up, I saw the path of destruction the beast had left. Fires raged across the lands, people fled from their homes, and the dwindling forces of the Castle Knights were almost eradicated from existence.

"Please whoever you are,"I thought loudly, "innocent people are being killed left and right because of you. What can I do to stop this?"

No response from the voice as it kept marching. I had to hold on for dear life, but I didn't know what to do there was nothing to indicate what to do next. Perhaps it was out of desperation…perhaps it was the only thing I could think of, but I just started hitting the beast on the head. It went through another building.

"Come on!" I shouted into empty space "You were so desperate to call for my help, but now you won't respond when I'm trying to help you! What good can I do against this!"

It was then that I had started to realize that just blindly attacking the beast was doing no good, and I just held on for the ride. "Angela! Angela, what the hell are you doing here?" I heard Elrite shout at me but didn't bother to respond.

You were the one that called me to you for a reason. You wanted me here because you think I am the one who can stop your pain. Well here I am! I am here to stop your suffering. You don't have to rampage anymore. I want to see your true form. You are not this, and I sincerely believe that.

"Angela! You have to get off now! It's getting too close to the palace and those Bakugan are equipped with Battle Gear, hurry!"

I am right here for you, and I won't leave you for anything,I thought, and then the beast let out a roar. Its arms reached for its head as light radiated from its body, causing cracks in it and shedding off what seemed to be its own skin. Slowly but surely the creature was revealing its true form before all of those present. Unfortunately, that meant the handhold that I had also dissipated as I fell all the way from the sixty feet viewpoint. But suddenly, something caught me.

"So this…is your true form, isn't it?" I asked tentatively.

When I had looked up at what caught me I saw a dragon that looked similar except she had a womanly figure with draconic elements. Hybrid Bakugan were rare, and here I was looking up directly at one who was apparently a hybrid of both Darkus and Haos. There were no chains on her dark half anymore but a scaly, spiky side of her with a true draconic wing. Her light half also retained a softer side but also had its scales and its wings were feathery as well.

Maybe I would have taken a bit more time to admire this Bakugan, but I was too dumbstruck by the fact that it saved me from falling to my death and was allowing me to walk free without a single scratch. However, I was immediately stopped by Captain Elrite and his squad
