Skye-Yue: So! This is my first Bakugan fic! I got completely re-absorbed into the series recently, (the ORIGINAL, not this new Mecha-ultra-shit.) This will have an OC, Skyler. As of now, he's the ONLY OC. It all depends on how this story goes. This takes place during the "Battle Brawlers" arc, when Masquerade's identity was still unknown.

Warnings: OC, strong language, plot mostly taken from the Bakugan: Battle Brawlers DS game, but also goes into 'what happens after'.

Just a note. For this first chapter, I'm not typing out the battle between Dan, Skyler, Shuji, and Akira. It's a bit late at night, and if I write a battle, I want it to be when I'm at the peak of my story muse. I'm currently working on this, and an AP US History project, so yeah. :o

The blue-eyed teen sighed. Things had been boring for a while now... He sat at a fountain in the middle of the park in the town he lived in, rolling in his palm a sphere, one colored black with purple spotting at various points. A frigid wind blew, something unusual for a summer day in Wardington, where the boy lived. His black hair was pushed to the side, covering his eyes. Instantly, his hands went up, trying to fix the frenzied follicles before they irritated him any longer, only in doing so, the ball dropped from his hands, making a 'clank, clank' as it fell to the concrete walkway below him.

"Oh, man! Sarge!" The teen shot up and dashed to his fallen orb, picking it up tenderly. Using the right palm of his black fingerless glove, he cleaned it, making sure there were no nicks or scratches on his Bakugan.

Bakugan. Heh, what a fine word it was. It rolled off the tip of the teen's tongue when he spoke the word, like he was meant for it. He looked over the Darkus Siege, eyeing it one final time before letting it rest in his left palm. "You ok, Sarge?" He knew the Bakugan wouldn't speak back to him. Inanimate objects had no life in them. "Man, I'm really sorry!" An awkward smile washed over his face as he scratched the back of his head with his right hand.

"Dude..." Came a voice. "Are you... talking to your Bakugan?"

The teen turned around, only to see a hefty boy about his age, with brown eyes, and equally as brown hair. Beside him, he had a smaller boy with a white cap, and red hair.

The black haired teen's eyes widened, and his closed his left hand, putting his Bakugan behind his back. "Ha, what? N-No! That's silly! Bakugan can't talk!"

"Shuji, this guy's an idiot!" Said the smaller boy, folding his arms against his green shirt.

"Damn straight he is, Akira!" Replied Shuji. "What kind of moron talks to Bakugan?"

The black-haired teen's face turned dark red. "I... I-I wasn't talking to him!"

"Him?" Akira asked. "Bakugan don't have genders!"

The teen gave a light growl. "Sh-Shut it!"

"Just admit it, punk!" Shuji sneered. "What the hell's you're problem, anyway?"

"Nothing...!" The teen said, shrinking back a bit. "I just like Bakugan..."

Shuji's sneer turned into a smirk. "Oh, really? Well, it just so happens that I do too!" In a flash, he pulled out a gate card, holding it between his thumb, index, and middle fingers. Akira soon followed suit. "Let me show you how it's played..."

Bringing the hand he held his Darkus Siege to his front, the teen shook his head a bit. "But... But I'm new at Bakugan... I can't take on two people at once!"

Shuji's smirk widened. "Well, You're about to learn! The HARD WAY!"

"Back off, Shuji!" Came a voice from close by. All three teens turned their heads to see a boy with red eyes donning green goggles in his brown hair. He had a Pyrus Bakugan hovering beside him.

"Huh?"Shuji took a step back. "Dan!" An enclosed fist made its way to in front of Shuji, and he shook it. "This is none of YOUR business! Get lost!"

The teen stood in awe. Dan? Surely this wasn't Dan Kuso!

"Hey, kid!" Dan's voice cleared the teen's thoughts. "What's going on?"

The teen looked to him. "No way!" His blue eyes widened in awe. "You're Dan Kuso! From the Bakugan Battle Brawlers! You're all over the net!"

Dan chuckled slightly. "That's my name, don't wear it out!" A hand went to his hip. "So, you need any help?"

"Are you kidding!" The teen's face broke out into a smile, and he seemed amazed. "That would be awesome!"

"No problem." The Pyrus Bakugan that was floating alongside Dan flew into his hand, and Dan closed his hand into a fist. "I'll show ya some of my old tricks! If you're lucky, I won't even charge ya!" Dan pulled out a gate card, then nodded to the teen. "You ready?

The teen nodded, pulling out a gate card. "You bet!"

All four stood, Shuji by Akira, and Dan by the Black haired teen. "Field, OPEN!"

Time slowed, then came to a pause, leaving only the four teens conscious as they did battle.

Slowly, almost achingly, time began to resume, until its motion was in full swing. Akira was on the ground, pounding at the dirt. "No, no, NO! We lost!"

Shuji bared his teeth at the winning duo, then looked away in shame. "This isn't finished, kid!" He looked to the teen, and pointed a finger. "Just wait until the tournament! You'll be sorry!" He then looked to his panicking little brother. "And he didn't beat us, Akira! I let him win..." The duo then ran from sight.

Dan snickered, rubbing the half top of his finger against the lower half of his nose. "Sure showed them!" He then turned to the teen, and smirked. "Dude, you rocked!" He turned to face the boy, his hands on his hips. "A little more practice, and who knows? We could end up partners at the tournament Shuji was talking about!"

"That'd be awesome!" The teen said. "...But... I'm just a beginner. To enter the tournament, and have any chance, I'd need a wicked sweet Bakugan..." He looked over to Drago, who was sitting on Dan's shoulder. "Like how you have Drago."

"Hmmm..." Dan put a hand to his face. "I see what you mean. It's real important to have a tight relationship with your Bakugan."

The teen smiled, and waved a hand in dismissal. "Don't worry, I'll figure my way through it. Anyway, thanks Dan."

Dan smirked, and turned to walk away. "No prob! Gotta roll. Catch ya later, and good luck, buddy!" He then walked off, talking to the Dragonoid on his shoulder.

As the teen watched Dan walk away, he sat back on the edge of the fountain, looking over his 2 Bakugan he always kept with him: An Aquos Siege and Darkus Siege. To him, they were the closest thing he had to a 'partner' Bakugan. He called them Siege and Sarge, respectively. He felt that calling them both Siege, or by their attributes would be too mainstream, too common. He wanted something to set his Bakugan apart from all the rest. "I'll be a battle brawler... someday..."

He sighed, and moped a bit, daydreaming about being the number one ranked player in all of Bakugan, when it happened.

A flash of light distracted him, and he blinked, sitting to attention. "...? What was that?"

More flashes came, almost in a pulsating manner. "What's happening? Is anyone there?" He let out a yell as a blinding light filled his sight, and he put up a hand, as though to block anything oncoming to him.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked around, though... nothing was different. He didn't what to expect, really. "Weird..." He shook his head. "Maybe I'm just starting to see thin-..." He looked to where he was sitting, to see a Darkus Bakugan where he once was, completely in ball form, not moving, not saying anything. "...? A... A Bakugan?" After looking over it carefully, he smiled. "Wow, I don't think I've ever seen this one before!" He reached out to grab it when it popped open. The teen nearly jumped out of his skin, not expecting the Bakugan to open on its own.

A deep, slightly raspy voice came from no where, talking to no one in particular. "...Where am I...?" The Bakugan turned to the teen, and only then did the teen see what the Bakugan really looked like. He was draconian in appearance, two horns coming up from aside his head, green eyes framing his black face.

"Er..." The teen stood on edge, not really knowing what to say. "Um... Planet Earth..?"

The Darkus Bakugan grunted. "Hmph... Not Vestroia then."

The teen gulped. Wasn't there talk of evil Bakugan on the net? Oh god, if only he'd paid more attention. "Who... Who are you?"

The Bakugan grunted once more, turning ever so slightly. "My name is Leonidas."

Leonidas? He'd never heard of that Bakugan before. Well, it's now or never. "Hey! You wanna be my partner! I bet we could beat anyone!"

At this, Leonidas turned fully to the teen. "..." He was quiet, then spoke is a clear baritone voice. "If I battle with you, I'll have the chance to defeat other Bakugan?"

"Yeah!" The teen said, smiling happily. "We'll beat them all!"

Leonidas stayed motionless for a few seconds, before replying with a curt nod. "Very well, Human. I will battle alongside you." He gave a light 'hmmm' before speaking once more. "I sense that in this world, I will only be able to release my true power in battle."

"Was that a yes?" The teen asked cheerfully. "Awesome! Great to meet ya, ... erm... partner?" He gave an unsure smile, looking down at Leonidas.

Leonidas nodded once more. "Yes. Partner."

The teen reached out his hand, extending his palm to the Darkus attributed Bakugan. "Let's go!"

Leonidas hesitated, not knowing what to do. "Human... What are you doing?"

The teen blinked. "Waiting for you to hop on board, Leo."

"Leo?" Leonidas had an obvious tone of distaste. "Hmph. My name is Leonidas, Human." He glanced at the teen's hand, then flew onto his hand slowly. "And you'd best not forget it."

The teen blinked. "Well, my name's not 'Human'." He brought his palm up to his face, so that he and the Bakugan were eye to eye.

"Then tell me your name, Human, and I might reconsider calling you by it."

His blue eyes shone as he smirked. "My name is Skyler! Skyler Kimura."

"Skyler..." Leonidas thought about it for a second. "... I still prefer Human." With that, he closed back into a ball, refusing to speak any more.

"Hey! Get back out here! I'm not done talking to you!" Skyler lightly prodded the Bakugan ball with his pointer finger, only to sigh after he failed to receive any sort of response. "But I guess you're done talking to me..." With that, Skyler lightly placed Leonidas into his chest pocket. "This is going to be the start of a rough partnership..." Skyler gave another sigh, before looking up to the clouds. "You see this, Dad? You see the things I get into?" He smirked lightly, then walked out the park, only to stop at the sudden realization of what had happened. "Wait... I met Dan Kuso! I gotta tell my friends!"

With that, Skyler ran home, with his new Bakugan partner in tow, ready to start training for the upcoming tournament. Little did he know, that the Bakugan he took to be his partner would cause him alot of trouble...

Skye-Yue: There we go! Short chapter one, but a chapter one none the less!
