A/N: I got bored with waiting for this so I'm uploading this. But man did I have a huge debate on what to put in this chapter.
The biggest issue I think D&D is going to have is we're going to have a lot of stories going on at the same time, we're going to be focusing on Jet and Sky, then we're going to switch to Meredith in Wardington with her Bakugan Defenders, then we're going to be with Mike and Tyler, or Aidan and eventually Creedence, or Dan and Masquerade, overall its going to get messy. So bear with me as I try to figure out what will be the best way to write this.
Anyways I am pleased to release the first chapter of D&D I hope you all enjoy, and also I don't own bakugan.
On with the show!
Chapter 1
It was a quiet day in Wardington City, it was almost like the city was holding its breath, bracing itself for something bad to happen today as well. There were few children outside, and the few adults who ventured out on foot always moved urgently, some more antsy ones glancing around at their surroundings every now and then as they moved about.
Meredith Raynet quietly observed this from the window of Joe's apartment. Behind her she could hear the click of the keys on Joe's laptop as the boy busied himself on his computer, Billy bouncing a base ball off the hardwood floor, and Jenny and Jewls-who Meredith had picked up before they'd left the hospital-chatted quietly about nothing to each other.
"The city's quiet." Meredith said aloud the background noises stopping, everyone's attention focusing on the black haired girl. "It's almost like it's holding its breath, bracing itself for something worse to come."
Jenny and Jewls exchanged uncertain looks with each other before glancing at the other two people in the room. Joe didn't look up from his computer screen, and Billy glared at a point on the wall his hand gripping the baseball shaking slightly from the force.
"Well…" Jenny said slowly. "Considering all that's happened, doesn't it make sense that everyone would be a lot more wary? I mean they're reporting the hospital bombing and the pier being set ablaze as terrorist attacks, that's reason enough to make everyone want to seek shelter and safety in their homes."
Meredith turned around Superior popping open on her shoulder. "I'm not saying anything's wrong with it, you're right that they need to be concerned because things are going to get worse." She said moving away from the window and plopping down in a plush chair that was across from the couch the JJ dolls and Billy were sitting on and the other plush chair that Joe was in.
Jewls gulped paling slightly. "You mean, it gets worse?" Beside her Jenny reached over and grabbed Jewls hand squeezing it tightly.
Meredith clasped her hands together. "It's fated to." Meredith said simply.
"In a few days from now, a portal will open in the middle of the ocean, and Naga will emerge from it. He'll bring an army, and he'll be gunning for the infinity core." Superior said. "At the moment our strongest line of defense against Naga, the Bakugan Battle Brawlers are lost to us, we have to plan accordingly so we can repel Naga's attacks, and keep the infinity core secure."
"Then we need to get the brawlers back!" Billy said squeezing the ball even tighter. "You said yourself they're our best line of defense, the sooner we get them back the better."
Meredith nodded. "I can't argue with that logic, but there's the small problem that they've been sent to the Doom Dimension."
"And those aliens from that other world Mike mentioned to us before he was banished might also have some of our brawlers. That makes things a bit more complicated." Superior said.
Billy hurled his baseball at the ground hard the ball bouncing up and hitting the ceiling. "Then what are we supposed to do?!" He snarled rising to his feet. "Sit around and hope they come back?! We need to do something!" He took off his hat and ran a hand through his hair. "Julie, and all the others they're stuck there! There's no water, no food, they'll die if we don't do something!"
"And done," Joe said sitting back and looking at Meredith completely nonplussed by Billy's outburst, "I followed your suggestion, and now its just a matter of them getting back to me." Wayvern shifted on his shoulder and peered at the glowing screen.
Billy blinked and turned to Joe looking at him then back at Meredith. "Huh, what suggestion?"
"Once we got in, Meredith suggested I try to reach out to all of Masquerade's old minions, she figured that at least one of them might know of a way to get in and out of the doom dimension." Joe said calmly nodding to his laptop. "So I sent them a private message, and now it's a matter of waiting for them to get back to me."
"However, there's no gurantee it will work, and even if we make it to the Doom Dimension and retrieve the other brawlers we will be missing Dan at least." Meredith said and a grimace crossed her face. "And I'm going to be frank, without Dan and Drago we lose the one person that I know can handle Masquerade."
Billy opened his mouth. "That isn't to say we will not stop trying despite this," Superior said quickly silencing Billy. "If we can get to the Doom Dimension and retrieve the trapped brawlers, we'll stand a much better chance than we would if we tried to fight without them. However…" He bowed his head. "We must hope for the best but prepare for the worst."
"Which is why I also asked Joe to send out a call to Masquerade's former minions," Meredith said unclasping her hands. "Naga's going to be coming with an army, so we've got no choice but to start amassing an army of our own."
"And how do we do that? Post a message on the internet 'Calling all brawlers! Join us to stop a crazy white dragon from destroying the world with his bakugan army!'?" Jewls asked, waving her free hand in the air. "They'd all freak, heck I'm freaked! I'm freaked and I-I know what they're capable of." A hand reached to rub at the bandages at her neck that extended over the majority of her back. "I just, they're just kids." She swallowed tears in her eyes as she looked around the room. "We're just kids."
Meredith sighed as she rose from her chair. "You want to know the truth, I'm not like Jet, or Viki, or any of the other kids from my world who have come here. They had a basic idea of what was supposed to happen, but now everythings changed, they're flying blind. I on the other hand know what happens." Meredith said.
"You do?" Wayvern said. "How?"
"Take a look at my Superior." Meredith said holding out her hand Superior landing in her open palm, the dragon spreading his toy wings out as far as they could go and lifting his head up. "He's not like any normal bakugan, he's a machine, the likes of which won't be seen for several years to come. At least in your world."
"So… he's from the future?" Jenny ventured.
Meredith nodded. "Yes, and the reason I have him is because I traveled to the future as well… Well… the future of this world. In about 2 years from now, I'll end up standing outside of Marucho's house with a party going on, and that'll be the first time I'll have ever set foot in this world. And that was when I was 14, I'm 16 now."
"Wait wait wait," Jewls said frowning. "So you're saying… 2 years ago in your world you got sent to 2 years in the future of our world? How?"
Meredith shrugged. "An ancient diety summoned and me told me that the bakugan world needed my help, got me hooked up with Superior and sent me off to help the brawlers deal with a future threat." She waved her hand dismissively. "It's not all that important. But anyways my point is! I know what the future holds, and it's a bright future. But here right now, we've gotta step up and get ready to fight to ensure it happens." She turned to look at each of them. "I know you're scared, Masquerade has taken a turn for the worst, Spectra is a sly bastard, and they've got Alica, Viki and Gus all too eager to do their bidding, but if we unite now. We can stop them. Now are you with me?" She asked.
Billy clenched his fists. "I'm in! I'll fight for that future! I'll fight for Julie and the others to come back safe and sound!"
"Me too!" Jewls said jumping up and punching the air her eyes alight with fire. "Like let's show these guys what happens when you mess with our homeworld!"
"Count me in as well!" Jenny said jumping up as well.
"I'll help however I can." Joe said nodding to Meredith, Wayvern floating up so she was eye level with Meredith and Superior.
"I will help as well." Wayvern said.
Meredith nodded. "Glad to have your support." She said. "Now lets focus on what we're going to do while we wait for a response." She turned to Jenny and Jewls. "You two, go home and gather whatever you think you'll need."
Jewls looked worried but Jenny squeezed her hand again. "We can do that, come on Jewls." She said turning to the turquoise haired girl who hesitated before nodding in acceptance and rose up from where they were seated.
"Okay." Jewls said slowly before turning to Meredith.
Meredith smiled reassuringly. "Superior and I will be keeping an eye on your guys bakupods, if we think somethings wrong we'll drop what we're doing and come right over."
Jewls expression smoothed slightly, the worried lines fading away, a look of determination taking their place. She nodded. "All right."
Jenny kept a firm grip on Jewls hand as they made their way to the door. Jenny was opening the door to leave when she paused and glanced back at Meredith. "We'll be back soon. See you guys later."
Meredith nodded as the two popstars stepped out and the door to the Brown's apartment clicked closed behind them. With that taken care of she turned to Billy.
"Billy," The blond haired boy straightened up and put his cap back on his head. "I want you to go to the brawling park and find some kids who you think who'll be good to recruit. Don't tell them anything, but just observe them, try to gauge who would be a good person to add to our army should the need arise."
Billy blinked but then he nodded and gave her a thumbs up. "Yeah I can do that." He said heading out.
"I'm guessing you want me to stay here and wait for the response of the rest of Masquerade's former minions?" Joe said his gaze returning to his computer.
"I'd appreciate that." Meredith said heading back over to where her silver sweater had been thrown over the chair near the window. "If you could also do a sweep through the ranks of brawlers and see who you think might be a good addition to an army while you wait that'd be a huge help."
Joe nodded. "I'll get on it." He began to type before he paused and raised his head to look at Meredith who was beginning to put her sweater on. "What about you what will you be doing?"
Meredith paused in shoving her arm through one of the sleeves of her sweater. She was quiet glancing away. "There's something I need to do, I shouldn't be long." Meredith assured him as she finished pulling on her sweater, fixing it just slightly so it looked nice.
Joe nodded. "All right," He said. "Be careful."
"I will." Meredith said heading over to the door, and opening it. She paused for a moment, an image of Masquerade teleporting in and killing Joe while she was gone popped into her head. But she shook her head. She was fairly certain that even if the bad guys had confirmed that they hadn't killed Joe and trapped Wayvern in the rubble, they wouldn't be that quick to try again. At least… She hoped they wouldn't.
"Joe," She said, the boy looking up his computer. "Be alert, they might try to come after you again."
Joe nodded. "Right, I will." He said smiling slightly trying to look assuring, but Meredith could tell it was slightly strained.
Meredith hesitated just a moment more before she nodded again, more to herself than anyone else and then she was out the door.
The black haired girl decided to forgo the elevator, taking the stairs and making her way slowly down them.
"That went surprisingly well." Superior said quietly. "But I don't know if telling them you've seen the future was a good idea."
"I needed to get them motivated, if they didn't believe that there was hope. They'd fall apart." Meredith said narrowing her eyes as she kept her gaze on the concrete steps and white brick walls surrounding her.
"I'm surprised you mentioned the party." Superior murmured.
"Hmm?"
"I mean, in that context it almost sounds like it was a joyous occasion." Superior said.
"It was. I saw the brawlers and friends having a blast and I stopped an assassination attempt at that party." Meredith said pulling her gaze away from the steps for a moment to glance at Superior.
"I was talking more about the reasoning behind said party. You know as well as I do, it was a celebration in honor of the lives that were lost during this very time." Superior said his voice gaining a bit of an edge. "Meredith, when people start dying, what will you do then? They'll go to you asking why you didn't tell them this was going to happen, and you'll be in a real pickle then."
Meredith halted. "then what was I supposed to say!" She said turning to Superior. "You sure as hell didn't try to step in and stop me! Besides, all I told them was it was a bright future and it was!" She worked her jaw swallowing back the lump that was starting to form in her throat. "If this doesn't happen, if we don't hold Naga back long enough for the others to get through the Doom Dimension and Docorrus, we're sunk; because if Naga gets Earth while the brawlers are away this planet will have no future!"
Silence fell upon her outburst, her words echoing off the cinderblock walls surrounding the small stairwell. Superior lowered his head and then lifted it again. "I know. I just want to make sure you understand that your decision will have consequences, and they will be hard to bear. But I respect your decision, and as always I shall stand by you faithfully."
Meredith's expression softened and she smiled slightly. "Thank you Supers, always good to know I have your support." She said as she continued to make her way down the stairs.
"So what exactly are we going to do?" Superior asked.
"There's someone I want to check up on before all this starts." Meredith said as her foot hit the landing of the first floor and she made her way to the door at the end of the stairwell. It opened with a loud clang and she shoved it open and began to make her way down the hall to the main entrance.
"Who?" Superior asked rocking to the side slightly.
"You'll see." She said as she exited the apartment complex and made her way down the street.

While Meredith was winding herself up and preparing for the battle that lay before her, across the galaxy, on Docorrus, another woman was winding down.
Vanessa sighed as she relaxed in the back seat of the hovercraft, Victor up front piloting the craft back home. Vanessa tugged down the zipper of her leather jacket a bit and fanned herself.
"Phew, glad that mission's finally done," She said as she glanced out the window watching as they whizzed past several large decrepit buildings, where hordes of men labored at dressed in rags forced to slave away as women dressed in shiny silver and black uniforms patrolled around making sure work was being done.
Vanessa smirked slightly red eyes flashing with mirth as she watched a man collapse and immediately feel the wrath of the angry officers rain down on him in the form of whips and strikes from a baton. Always so satisfying to watch.
Turning away from the window for a moment Vanessa grabbed her chin and her hand and looked down the road thoughtfully. It had been a while since she'd come down this way, the last time had been when she'd tried to pawn off those two idiots a month ago, what were their names? Rich and Jack? Rick and Jake? Eh, it didn't matter, all that mattered was they were stupid swine who had grown arrogant after being handled by one of the officers at the factory.
Vanessa curled her lip, one of the main reason Vanessa detested allowing men to be in charge of other men was it was a boon in power they didn't deserve, it made them arrogant, violent and more prone to be even more cruel to the other males. In fact she'd learned after purchasing the two for what she'd thought as a steal at 200 Gald each that both were incompetent and violent. She'd had to break up many many fights with the two boys and the other men that she had serving her in her home. They nearly even killed the sweet little boy who did the laundry in the house when they decided to beat him for 'not being quick enough with the laundry'.
Vanessa had been furious with them and had wanted to kill them right then and there, but Pierce came in with a most brilliant way to off them.
"Place an impossible task in front of them and watch them fall apart." Pierce had advised. "Then when they fail as you predicted, you can kill them as painfully as possible."
His suggestion had worked beautifully, she'd sent the two incompetent oafs after Masquerade, knowing full well they didn't stand a ghost of a chance. She believed Hal-G's words about Masquerade's strength, (and eventually confirmed it for herself) and he was more than capable of pummeling the two buffoons and sending them running back to her, and to their well deserved deaths. It had been all to easy to convince Victor to leave Trent's pet Gargonoid's hungry enough that when the two fled in terror they were made into mincemeat by the vicious beasts. An excruciating and fitting death for the two annoying pains.
She chuckled at the memory, turning her attention back to her window. Her lips curved up into a smile as a very familiar gothic styled black castle surrounded by tall black fencing. The hovercraft moved alongside the fence and Vanessa took in the sight of her estate.
As a member of the Elite of Docorrus, Vanessa enjoyed a grand estate and a great deal of wealth, that she'd earned through her service for Docorrus as a huntress. She smiled slightly at the thought previous hunts flashing through her mind before stopping on the one that she was returning from.
She had to admit, Masquerade had been an interesting enemy, and although she was slightly disappointed that in the end she hadn't been the one to take him down. She could approve of the methods used by Hal-G and company to catch the target. Then giving her their worst enemy, Dan Kuso, in exchange for her services was ingenious as well. Overall in spite of all the trouble she ran into for it, she would have to say that all things considering that this hunt had been very successful.
Victor turned into the estate the gate at the front sliding open as the hovercraft drew near, letting it through and into the circle drive surrounding a lovely black fountain with a lovely marble dark bird crafted at the top with its wings spread. Felanoid had questioned why Vanessa had chosen to have the dark bird crafted atop the fountain rather than say a cat like Felanoid, and Vanessa had shrugged it off, saying she liked the bird. 'It reminds me of a phoenix' She had said. 'That no matter what should befall you, you can still manage to rise from the ashes of your mistakes and return better and stronger.' Felanoid was still disgruntled about it, but she'd let it slide.
The hovercraft came to a halt at the front to the castle it bobbed up and down for a moment before it sank down to the ground. Once it had landed the engines shut off and a man dressed in an immaculate suit rushed over from where he was standing in front of the castle and opened the door for her.
"Welcome home Lady Vanessa." The man said bowing low to the ground, taking care to keep his head down as Vanessa disembarked from the craft and stepped out.
Then it happened. She'd gone so long without an episode that she thought she was past them.
But as she stepped out and began to straighten up, her vision went white and suddenly she couldn't see her castle or her doting servants around her.
Instead she was standing on something red at her feet and all she could see were flashes, flashes of light everywhere, everywhere she turned her head she was met with a flash of light. She threw up her arms trying to block out the light but even with her eyes blocked the lights followed her. To make things worse a loud cacophony of voices joined the flashes, the sound too loud, and from too many sources for her to understand.
She took a step back her back meeting something solid behind her. Then a very familiar voice was spoken in her ear.
"Easy Milady, just relax," Her shoulder slumped with relief, Pierce. Strong arms wrapped around her body and she was swept off her feet and carried bridal style into the castle. Although Vanessa couldn't see anything as the flashes remained in her line of sight, obscuring her vision.
Vanessa gripped his arm hissing slightly as she reached her free hand up to her head rubbing at her temple trying to force these images away with her will.
She was set down on what she presumed to be her couch, and Vanessa could hear Pierce bark a few orders to her servants as she shivered, the flashes were fading away to blackness.
She knew what was coming next. A sharp shrill sound rang through her head, and in the distance she could see a beam of light slicing through the darkness her mind's eye was perceiving. The sound came again growing louder as a loud ominous rumbling noise could be heard. The beam of light getting bigger and bigger as its source, a looming dark shape rushing towards her drew nearer and nearer.
Vanessa had gone on hunts searching out this monstrosity in hopes of destroying it and getting her peace, but it had been for naught; thus here she was once again facing it down as her servants around her in a panic.
She tried to square her shoulders unsheathe her claws and face it with a snarl on her face and ready to fight. But she was rooted to the spot, unable to do anything but watch as it rushed at her, with nothing to do but close her eyes and brace for it to slam into her.
Something jabbed into her arm and Vanessa took a deep breath eyes snapping open the dark shape inches away before the image faded away leaving her staring up at Pierce, her butler and several of her other servants. Vanessa shuddered and turned her head slightly towards where she felt something jab her in the arm and she could see an empty syringe that Pierce was carefully pulling out of her arm.
"P-Pierce." Vanessa said shakily, her eyes darted to the other servants and butler who were watching the shaken Vanessa with interest. She gritted her teeth and glared at them despite the shivers that wracked her frame.
Pierce caught on quickly, the man took the syringe and turned to look at the servants. "Leave us now." He ordered flatly.
"Yeah come on you lot." Victor's voice came from near the doorway, the teen's arms were crossed as he glared at each of the servants. "You all have work you should be doing, so get to it before me and Trent start giving you more." He said icily.
The servants hastily made a quick exit and were out of the room before another word could be said. Once they were all out Victor stepped out and grabbed the door handle.
"I'll keep the servants are in line." Victor said simply before he closed the door behind him and his footsteps sounded signifying that he was walking away.
Vanessa flopped back against the plush cushions of the red couch in her parlor that she was lying on. She looked blankly up at the white ceiling above her head. Pierce moved away from her side taking the syringe and discarding it in a marked waste basket hidden in a locked cupboard at the corner of the room. Once the syringe had been discarded Pierce closed the cupboard and locked it with a small key. Then he went up to the drawer above the cupboard and locked that as well.
While he was doing that Vanessa studied her surroundings trying to calm her racing heart. It had been a solid year since her last episode, and she'd been so sure she was getting over these stupid impairing nightmares.
"Damn it." Vanessa growled slamming her fist against the cushions.
Pierce walked over to Vanessa and looked down at her. "Are you all right Lady Vanessa?" He asked his one eye running over her examining her for any signs she was in any distress.
"Fine." Vanessa hissed. "Except for the fact that I can't seem to rid myself of these stupid episodes, I thought I was done! My last one was a whole year ago!" She sighed and ran her hand down her face. "Worse I had to have it right in front of the whole damn household!"
"I can have a silencer placed on all those who saw it." Pierce offered, then he bowed his head. "I shouldn't have allowed for you to have an audience during that. For that I apologize and will humbly accept any punishment."
Vanessa groaned. "Fuck punishment, just find me a cure and you'll be good." She grumbled.
Pierce was silent. "I would search the entire galaxy for a cure if you wish it milady." He said straightening up.
"Fuck no, I need you here." Vanessa growled then sighed. "Pft, strongest of the Elites brought down by stupid visions in her head." She grumbled. "If word got out I'd be the laughing stock of them all."
Pierce nodded. "Which is why I shall personally ensure by any means necessary that word will not get out. I am well acquainted with how to handle it after last time." He assured her.
Vanessa grumbled. "Great, now go tell Laur in the kitchen to make me some tea or something, and make it quick. The guy sits around enough all day might as well be useful." She muttered.
Pierce nodded bowing once more. "As you wish milady, I will be back soon with your tea." He said before he stepped out of the double doors and his heavy footsteps sounded heading away from the parlor.
Vanessa growled as she threw an arm over her eyes. This problem of hers would be the end of her, it was always the same, some weird vision, being assaulted with flashes of light, being hemmed in by a large group of people by a box, and then the sound of laughing children with no view at all being an example of some of her episodes. All of which eventually faded away to the huge dark shape rushing at her with its rumbling and piercing shriek heralding its arrival.
Vanessa scowled as she shook her head, the action making her feel sick initially but she forced it off. She got to her feet and went over to a large mirror and stopped in front of it.
She glared at her reflection, she looked pale almost ashen, but her eyes looked a bit off. Rather than being their normal bright crimson like they normally were, they looked… almost magenta. Scowling she turned away from the mirror and unsheathed her claws.
"I am Vanessa Dark." She said firmly clenching and unclenching her clawed hands. "I am the best of the Elites and I will not allow some visions to beat me!" She whipped around to face the mirror. "This is who I am and who I am meant to be! And nothing will keep me from that! Not even you!" She growled glaring at her reflection jabbing a claw at it, the sharp bladed appendage piercing the mirror creating a spiderweb of cracks along the surface, affectively breaking apart Vanessa's reflection.
/-/
Skylord flew towards the glowing beacon in the doom dimension her red eyes narrowed as she flapped her wings harder and harder trying to get there as fast as she physically could.
She spared a glance back at her partner. Jet was still gripping Skylord's neck, her legs and arms encircling as much of Sky's neck as she physically could. Although her grip was strong the girl looked pale and a bit sickly, she'd already gone a day with no food or water and very little sleep. It made Skylord fear for how much longer her partner could last.
"Are we there yet?" Jet croaked, her voice sounding ragged dehydration doing it no favors.
Skylord nodded. "We're almost there! Just a little further! Ha!" With one powerful downstroke of her wings Skylord flew into the beacon the white light bathing her gray underbelly and undersides of her wings silver, and her black body with light.
"Whoa! It's bright!" Skylord said raising a claw to shield her eyes.
"Ah! IT's getting brighter!" Jet cried putting on her shades, the light growing brighter and brighter until it washed out the gloomy and sparse scenery of the doom dimension with white light. It got to the point that even with her shades on Jet had to throw up an arm to cover her eyes to prevent the light from blinding her.
Then just as quickly as it had come, it passed. Skylord found herself standing on smooth ground rather than flapping in midair above a beacon.
Skylord waited a moment before she slowly lowered her arm, Jet doing the same. The two blinked as they looked around in awe of their new surroundings.
They were inside a large room with white columns that reached up to a white marble domed ceiling, a lovely mosaic depicting an obsidian dragon and a white dragon circling the image of a circle of what resembled a planet on the far wall. Across from the mosaic was a hallway with more columns that disappeared into white light. In the center of the room there was a small pool built of brightly colored tiles.
But what took Jet and Skylord's breath away was the was the set of 12 golden statues, with the painting and hallway splitting them into 6 on either side. Some were as tall as Skylord.
"What is this place?" Jet asked sliding off Skylord's back
"I have no idea… Jet! Those statues!" Skylord pointed a claw to the ones on the right side of where they were standing. "They're of the brawlers bakugan and Hydranoid!"
Jet turned and squinted at the statues studying them critically, and sure enough the statues were of Skyress, Tigrerra, Preyas and Gorem in their base forms, and then on the ends were Delta Dragonoid and Dual Hydranoid.
"Wha- but how? Who made them into statues?!" Jet said rushing forwards and looking up at the bakugan. "Did we get sent forwards in time?! Have the Vexos turned them all into statues?!"
Skylord tipped her head feeling completely lost. "What's a vexos?" She asked raising an eye ridge.
Jet frowned. "Wait hold on… This can't be the work of the Vexos…" She said stepping back and studying them more critically. "Yeah no, none of these guys are in their right form for that. They look like they haven't evolved yet."
"Huh." Skylord muttered still not understanding where her partners latest train of thought was carrying her but she merely nodded and turned her attention over to the other side and gaped. "Holy crap that's a statue of me!"
Sure enough on the opposite side the statue across from Dual Hydranoid resembled Skylord, her four wings spread her head held high and her claws out at her sides ready looking fierce and ready to attack. Beside the Skylord statue was a statue of Carniverus, Hydrogator, Strike Lenorence, Chiveria and Fireblick, each in a battle stance looking ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"What is this place?" Jet asked taking a step back and trying to take it all in.
A shadow emerged from behind the Drago statue. "This is the Silent Sanctuary of Vestroia." As the shadow stepped out into the light, Jet and Skylord drew back. Skylord's gem flashing as she prepared to attack, Jet raising an arm defensively in front of her chest tensed up ready to fight or flee.
The entity that had emerged was a lovely obsidian dragoness, she had piercing red eyes, and slight horns on the edge of her head, her large leathery wings were folded at her side, she stood on all fours and her long tail swayed lazily from side to side.
"Relax I mean you no harm," The dragoness said moving to stand in front of the painting. "In fact I've been waiting a long time for you to get here, Jessica Raynet, and Darkus Skylord."
Jet and Skylord exchanged bewildered glances, "You have?" Jet asked.
The dragoness nodded. "Indeed, because I need your help."
"Help?" Skylord echoed eyes narrowed as she wrapped her tail slightly around Jet protectively.
"Vestroia is in grave danger, and things have fallen apart, I need you to get things in motion to fix them." The dragoness said simply.
"And how are we going to do that?" Jet asked tilting her head.
The dragoness took a step forwards, red eyes flashing as water began to rise from the pool until it formed a reflective surface in front of Skylord and Jet. The two eyeing the surface as it shone brightly and an image of a purpleish planet appeared in the surface.
"I need you to go to Docorrus." The dragoness said.

Preview for Chapter 2:
Hey Brawlers, long time no see! Dan here and boy things have taken a turn for the worse. Turns out that Naga betrayed Masquerade, selling him out to Docorrus. Now we're stuck in a cell together, but luckily for me I finally get to find out what's really been going on. While Masquerade's telling me his side of the story, Shun teams up with Mike and Tyler to try and get out of the Doom Dimension. Man, what I wouldn't give to see that. Bakugan Brawl! Catch you later guys!
A/N:
Okay so this chapter primarily focuses on Meredith, Vanessa and Jet. You're all probably wondering 'what's going on with Vanessa' but well it'll all be revealed in time.
Figuring out how to start this off was REALLY hard, and I admit Doom and Docorrus isn't mapped out completely. I'm going to be changing and shifting things as I go, but hopefully I can make it just as awesome as the first part of the Dual Dimensions's series.
So tell me what you think so far, and my goal for when I get the next chapter up will be April 6th, which is my Birthday.
Initially I wanted ot post on April 6th, but I realized I'd much rather get it up now than wait.
Plus I wonder how many of you guys will think it's an April Fools joke.
On Another Note I have another question for you guys. On my profile I'm going to post a poll that will ask you guys which of my stories that I haven't updated in ages would you guys want me to bring back, or in the case of say Places Switched, Double Dare and Temptation make a sequel to?
Until next time!
