"Mira come on! It's not like we did something wrong!"

"Yeah,Baron is right! We didn't do anything wrong!"

"Guys! Because of you two we where attacked in the midle of the night! And because of that we lost Drago,Nemus and Wilda to Slash,Vexos's most dangerous member!"

"W-Well...It's not our fault! Slash is just too powerful!"

As Mira sighed and went into her room Baron,Dan,Runo and Julie started to think.

"Come on guys,we need to find a way to get our bakugan back! There has to be a way!" shouted Dan

"Yeah...if only Seth would be here. He would have an idea already..." said Julie while looking at the floor with a sad face

"Don't remind me of that selfish asshole!"

"Dan! Like it or not Seth and Draiser were the most powerful member of the team. And you don't know why he left...I mean Shun also dissapeared and later you found him in Vestroia."

"Runa,if Seth would've been in Vestroia we would've seen him... If only Draiser would be here we would be able to beat the crap out of Vexos withouth breaking a sweat!"

"Master Dan,who is this Seth?"

"Ah...Seth was our Darkus brawler until his bakugan got all the atributes and he left us..."

Just when Runa was about to protest a robot bee when to Mira's room. Dan recognize the bee and followed it togheter with the rest of the gang. When everyone gathered around a hologram of a brown haired guy with a black mask on his eyes,a black sleveeles long jacket with fur ,a black sleveeles t-shirt,black jeans and boots appeared.

Ah,Battle Brawlers Resistance what a pleasure to see you all here,but the one I wish to speak with is Mira and only Mira...

"And why you want to speak with me?"

I have a proposal for you...so will you listen to me?

"Guys,please leave...I want to see what Slash wants..." the rest noded and left the room "So what do you want to propose me?"

You want your bakugan back right? So I want a deal...I want you to meet me in the park tomorrow morning,alone...

"And if I meet with you we will get our bakugan back? Ok,what's the trick?"

None. I might be part of Vexos but I fight fair... I want to see what is behind the leader of the resistance,it that a bad think? I promise that I won't hurt you but to assure you none of us will bring our gauntlets. So we have a deal?

"Fine...we have a deal."

Perfect...meet me at 6 o'clock. Slash smirked before the bee dissapeared,Mira sighed. Now she had to meet the most dangerous person ever... 'What is that guy after? And what does he mean with 'behind the leader of the resistence'?' she couldn't sleep that night,for some reason she was nervous. The next morning she was ready for the meeting,she exit the house in silence and run in the park. She was wearing her usual clothes and her pendant the photo of her brother and her childhood bestfriend and first crush. She looked around for the usual outfit Slash would dress but there was no sign of that black long jacket...

"What are you looking for?" she jumped as the voice speak up. She turned around to see the same black mask she hated in the past. Slash has there looking at her questioning with his head a litle turned to right,the mask was still there but he was dressed very different. The dangerous guy outfit was replaced with a red simple hooded sweatshirt,black slim jeans and red converse sneakers.

~Mira POV~

"Well...I was looking for you. But,why are you dressed um,like this?" I was amazed that such a scary man could look so casual,normal and...well a litle good...

"What? You don't like it? I didn't wanted to look like a black chicken while I was observing you so I though I should get out of Slash's outfit...Guess it didn't work out,huh?" he is so...normal! I feel bad about thinking that he will hurt me but...

"If you want to drop being Slash...what about the mask?"

"Well...give me a minute and close your eyes."

That was suspicious "Why..?"

"Please?" his voice was unusually soft and innocent... I noded and close my eyes,I hear him cursing some time and I laughed in silence. "Ok I'm done..." I opened my eyes and looked at him,his mask was in his hand. He was wearing a red snapback cap and very black sunglases. "Um... Why are you staring?" he asked nervous

"W-What? Sorry it just...now you look and talk..."

"Less like a dangerous,freaking,crazy guy who wants to destroy you? Yeah,about that... I'm not like that. I just joined Vexos because Spectra had my original Guardian and he told me that if I want him back I need to crush you in battle and take Wilda... Nemus was just a victim and Drago...Well Spectra had him but I retrieve him and how I have all three bakugan."

"So Slash is done?"

"Well...Slash is out of Vexos and would like to join you and the resistance..."

"Oh yeah? Why?" I asked him,I still don't trust him but he seem a nice guy "And that's why you wanted to meet me?"

"Yeah and no... If I would show up at Dan's house you wouldn't listen to me soo...I figured if I get you alone and spend the day showing you I'm not that bad you might think..."

"That you aren't like Spectra and the other Vexos... Well,you got want you want,I will spend the day observing you but..."

"But...?"

"At the end of the day I want to know your real name and to see how you really look."

"Deal." he smiled and we shaked hands. I spend the day laughing and pranking people. I didn't agree to it at first but it turned out very amusing. The funpark was even better,we went to every atraction and then we eat. He was not like in battle,he was just like me,we liked the same things. After we ate we went to the mall where he dragged me at a music shop and we listen to different songs. I didn't had so much fun in years but after the horror house at the funpark I started to think more about him and how much he resembled..'It can't be...' ..I smiled at that laughed untill we got in front of Dan's house.

"Ok...I think I will die! Did you see that guy's face when we scared him?! That was just priceless!" I said after I manage to hold my laughing long enough

"I know! Damn,it been so long since I was only me with no one telling me what to do... I missed this,thank you Mira."

"For what?" I asked confused

"For giving me a chance to show you I'm not just what that stupid mask made me be... To show you what I really am like..." I didn't realise that both of us were taking small steps toward eachother untill our faces were inches apart and our lips meet. He was holding my hands in his as our fingers embraced. He pulled back first ans smiled "Sorry... I don't know what got into me..."

"It's nothing..." I looked down at our hands to see that our fingers were still embraced,I smiled and look back at him.

"So..guess it's time for you to know who I am..." he let go of my hands to reach his glases and take them off to show a pair of beautiful,deep black eyes that I imitietlly fell for and... "My name is Shaw Zeinthos..." ... My world fell apart. "I'm sorry..." he whispered softly and he took a step back. I catched his hand making him stop and look at me confused "Mira?"

"I figured out it was you Shaw... I just can't believe you kissed me..." I said emberased and looked away. He cathed my chin and turned my head so my eyes could meet his.

"Mira... I know you since childhood,damn it was pretty obiously that you liked me. I just never acted like I knew because I was afraid something could go wrong and we won't be friends anymore..." he paused and kissed me again " But after all these years that I've been away from you I realised that,because I never act,I lost you..."

"Ok,enought with the confesion... You don't mention that you are Slash to the rest and you got the bakugans because you beat Slash and took them from him,ok? I don't want Dan or Ace to do something stupid." I replied before I kissed him again "Now let's go and meet the others.

Shaw smiled as I dragged him in the house. I presented him as my childhood bestfriend but Runo,Julie and Dan already knew him as Seth. I was surprised but I put that aside from now. I enjoyed every minute I spend alone with him,or to be more accured I enjoyed my new boyfriend every minute we were left him alone...
