This is gonna sound stupid, but one day all these cards started falling from the sky, like rain. It reminded me of those stories about frogs falling from the sky. I mean seriously, what's up with that? At first we only knew that they were no ordinary trading cards, since they weren't any brand I knew. But this was even WEIRDER than frogs. It was happening all over the world; in the north...in the south...at the equator...they landed everywhere, literally. It even slid under peoples' beds.
Together with my friends on an awesome Twilight forum, we created a FAR-OUT game called Bakugan, and that's when the power of the cards was revealed! Each card came with a weird plastic marble battling beast, and the beast inside would come out when you throw it down. The battles were INTENSE, and if you use the wrong cards you lost it AND the beast inside!
That's only half the story! While we were playing around with our real-life Pokemon marble children's card game, something BIGGER was going on! A parallel universe called Vestroia!
My name's Dan. Together with my friends Runo, Marucho, Julie, Mr. Hotshot himself Shun, and Alice, we are...the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!
A, a-a, a-a, TWO worlds COL-LIDE! On the inside! Gone, gone, gone, this is Bakugan!
Episode One
Bakugan: The Battle Begins
It was another day in the city. The sun shone brightly over the many trees, and one REALLY tall tower overlooked everything.
The door opened. "Mom! I'm home!"
VROOM! a car said in response.
Turning his iPod up full-blast, some kid ran up the stairs to his bedroom. His yoga-practicing mother cried, "Daniel? I put your lunch in the fridge, and don't forget to wash up! Turn off that iPod, I hate funky beats! Idiot kid..."
Dan tossed his mostly-empty backpack onto the bed. "Thanks, Mom. I'll be down in a minute."
"You're lying! Kids are never down in a minute!"
"I'm checking the clock, okay?" He took what looked like a lunchbox out of a drawer by his bed. "Now to check out my 'stache. Let's see..." Inside were a bunch of identical, red-and-orange marbles. "Let's see...I'll take this one, this one, oh, my other one! THIS one for SURE!" They all looked exactly the same, so there was virtually no point in choosing certain ones. He wiped his nose like a true anime boy and said, "All set!"
"Daniel," his mother cried, doing a very retarded-looking yoga pose, "you have thirty seconds left to get down here and your lunch is getting cold!"
"That's because it's in the fridge! You torment me on purpose, Mom!"
"Oh yeah. Sorry~! Ow!" She fell over onto her back. "Ow, I can't move...my spine..."
"You're just trying to get me downstairs sooner, aren't you?"
"No! I'm serious! Get down here now!"
"Fine, I'm going downstairs." The typical dressed-in-red brown-haired goggle-wearin' anime boy ran through the family room and out the front door.
"H-hey, where do you think YOU'RE going!?"
"Later! AAAhahaha!" Dan laughed maniacally as he bicycled down the street.
"When he comes back I'll kill him...OW!!" She snapped her back and fell unconscious.
"YAHOOOOO!" he yelled, missing the turn on the bridge and flying over the railing. He crashed into a bench, in front of which a buck-toothed kid was standing. Dan walked out with several cuts and bruises, though he should have had broken bones. "Sorry I'm late!"
"And here I thought you CHICKENED out," the buck-toothed kid taunted. "And it looks like you're gonna die before we even start the game, huh?"
"That's not gonna happen, Akira! And who's that fat guy sitting on that chair?" In the middle of the cobblestone path sat a fat guy in overalls. "Is that your backup? Because you're gonna need it!"
"Of course he's fighting you! I mean, I'm just a buck-toothed kid, remember? Buck-toothed kids never stand a chance."
The fat kid stood up and punched his palm...HARD. "Think you're pretty tough, huh? Just 'cuz you leaped off a bridge and into a bunch o' splinters doesn't mean you're gonna last through THIS one."
"Actually, it does. What's your deal?"
"I'm Suchi, and MY deal is...Sub-Terra."
"N-no way! Sub-Terra!? That's not a fist-fighting technique! That's a crazy Bakugan name! I can't fight in anything with such a STUPID name that it can't even exist!"
"Like YOURS has a SMARTER name!"
"Hmm, good point. Let's do this! I've gotta warn you, I've NEVER lost before."
Back at home.....
"Honey, I'm home!" A yellow punch buggy parked outside. A typical father figure, black hair and tie and glasses and all, stepped in. His wife was in a retarded yoga position, knocked unconscious. He laughed. "Well, keep up that yoga. Silence is golden, right?"
Father Figure smiled and looked in the fridge. "Ah, pudding. My favorite. Thanks, honey!"
Back with Dan...
"Are you READ-EE or WHAT?" Suchi growled.
"Let's go!" idiot Dan insisted.
The fountain in the background seemed to spray everywhere, and a bunch of scary CGI pigeons flew by from out of nowhere. The two boys each took out a gauntlet-like thing and took out a black card. "Bakugan Battle, Open!"
Six weird, glowing circles floated around them. Each one apparently symbolized an element. The pigeons started flying in super-slow motion, for some strange reason. Maybe it was the funky techno music emanating from Dan's iPod.
At the very same moment, Father Figure tripped whilst carrying his flan on a silver platter! "Nnnnoooooo! My pudddinnnnggg!" he cried as the flan slid off, vibrating like the CGI-animated figure it was. His wife was regaining consciousness, but couldn't move her mouth to tell him it was flan, not pudding...
The cobblestone battlefield glowed with awesome power, surrounding everyone and everything. The kids were suddenly in a weird, colorful world, ready to fight...?
"Hua hueh! Huaa!" The kids threw their cards onto the blue ground, which floated comedically and harmlessly down. Then they started glowing for no apparent reason! They grew into a huge rectangular battlefield! The two kids landed delicately on their feet.
"Ready or not, here my marble COMES!!" Suchi the Fat Wonder tossed a brown-and-orange marble onto the field.
It hit Dan on the forehead before bouncing onto the field! "Ow!"
The thing opened up to reveal its true form: a giraffe mantis-thing which looked laughably round. Then it glowed and transformed to reveal its TRUE true form! A rainbow surrounded it as it grew into a gigantic green-eyed mantis!
"Woah! Freaky!" was all Dan could say. With a massive clawed foot the brown mantis stepped hard on the ground, releasing a tremor that sent Dan flying onto his bottom. "Hey! Killing's not fair! That's against the rules!"
"Who says INJURING isn't?" Suchi smirked.
Dan pressed a button on his gauntlet-thing to reveal what looked like some sort of orange cell phone. On the screen, the funny-looking marble thing was shown. "BAKUGAN: GIANT BROWN MANTIS. ATTRIBUTE EARTH. POWER LEVEL 270. NO OTHER DATA AVAILABLE."
Okay, Dan thought, it's an Earth-attribute monster - I mean Bakugan - and its power level is 270. And it's named Giant Brown Mantis! I don't know what I'm dealing with! The only question is, what can I counter with?
"Your huge bug is goin' down!" He threw a marble from his marble carrying case, which opened up into a fat snake. THEN it turned into a HUGE and THIN snake with fins on the sides of its head for no reason! It snarled. The two stood there for a while, looking expectantly at their masters.
"POWER LEVEL 320."
"Bakugan Brawl!"
"WRRYYYYYY!!" Giant Brown Mantis was easily coiled around by the nameless snake. The snake didn't go any farther than that. It just hissed in Giant Brown Mantis' face.
"All right!"
"You mean all NO! Activate!" The two humongous animals just stayed there, waiting for something. Then the mantis started glowing, the two seemingly exploded and Dan almost backed into one of the Egyptian pyramids suddenly standing behind him.
""HOly CRAP we're in Egypt," he said.
"That's why it's called Sub-Terra!"
"That makes no sense!"
The mantis slammed the snake down once the smoke cleared.
"POWER LEVEL INCREASED TO 420 G'S."
"What's a G again?" Dan asked. "Does it stand for that's not good? Because this CERTAINLY isn't good!" Somehow, Giant Brown Mantis leaped several stories into the air! He sliced the air, causing the snake to hiss and turn back into a marble again. Said marble rolled into Dan's foot. The floor turned white and glowy. "AAH with the glowing!" Dan screeched.
"You're toast!" Suchi said, sounding really stupid as he did. The mantis was sucked into a marble which was sucked into the fat guy's hand.
"GIANT BROWN MANTIS IS VICTORIOUS."
"! You fell faster than a deck of cards in a tornado!"
"What a stupid simile! You're an idiot, Suchi!"
"Like YOU aren't! Time to finish what I've started! Bakugan Stand!" He threw his Bakugan, and it stood on the playing field. it looked something like a brown-and-orange crab. It transformed into a bigger crab.
"Think you're pretty good, huh, fatty? Well, buckle up, 'cause you're about to go on a car ride of defeat! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" He threw what can only be described as something with two round wings. It glowed and was revealed to be a red bird man! He made a stock falcon cry. he made a circle of fire around the fat guy and big crab.
"H-hey! I think I'm gonna die of heatstroke in here!" Fatboy shouted. "If I die, I'll kill you!" As Birdman dive-bombed into the crab Suchi could only cry, "Waaaaa....." Before anything dangerous could happen, the marble bounced into Suchi's hand. "Huh? We didn't even see the collision!"
"Don't worry. It's all tied up!" Dan's marble bounced back into his hand.
"Grr! Bakugan Stand!" They tossed some marbles, which turned into two color-swapped rhinos. Their power levels were 320 (Suchi's) and 200 (Dan's), which doesn't make sense.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Suchi groaned as the rhinos pushed each other, neither of them winning.
An awesome gust of wind blew up Dan's body as he held up his card and shouted, "Ability Card Activate! Stars Gloat! Hyah!" He threw the card as if it were a baseball, and its path was set ablaze! The fire consumed Suchi's rhino!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Fatboy yelled, falling throughout a bunch of awesome-looking frames. His Bakugan was about to fall on him comedically before he glowed orange, turned into a marble and landed in his palm. "No. No! This can't be happening!"
"Actually, it can be. Looks like you're down to your Giant Brown Mantis!"
"GGGGGRRRRRR! You're right."
"One more itsy bitsy battle should put you up for good!"
"Rrrrrrrrr, AND YOU SAY MY SIMILES ARE TERRIBLE! Card Set! Bakugan Brawl!" He threw another marble, which was the Giant Brown Mantis.
"Bakugan Brawl!" Birdman appeared again.
"Now to play my ability card," Suchi said. "Slice Cutter!" The mantis' sickle arm-things glowed orange!
"WOW. I'm IMPRESSED. MORE GLOWING. If you think you're the only one holding an ace, you're wrong. Ability Card Activate! Brain Burst!" His ability card engulfed a wing-enveloped Birdman. Most of the flames were wasted on Birdman's fancy reveal, leaving only a bit of fire in his arm. Birdman tossed the fireball at Giant Brown Mantis, who was killed instantly in the bonfire.
"Huh?" The marble bounced in front of Suchi, and he just stared at it for a second.
"GAME SET AND MATCH: DAN."
"It looks like I win." He grinned. Apparently their game of marbles took place in slowed-down time, so the pigeons from earlier started flying again.
"Hey," some cameraguy in the distance said, "did ya see that!? Those kids just disappeared for a split second! I got it on camera!"
"That's normal around here, idiot," a random girl said.
"NOOOOO! My pudding!" The flan splooshed onto the floor. "It costs fifteen dollars at the market!" He sobbed. What an idiot.
"...............Huh?" Akuma stared, finally understanding what had happened. "Yo, Suchi, you promised me you'd clean his clock! What happened!?"
"He didn't BRING a clock!" Fatboy sobbed. "I'm sorry, master!"
Dan wiped his nose. "THAT was easy!"
Stick around! There's more Bakugan right after these messages! Yo!
Now back to Bakugan! RAWR!
It was nighttime, and every single window of their electricity-consuming household glowed. The family liked that, since it reminded them of Bakugan. "And then I let him have it with my secret weapon Brain Burst! You should've seen me! I cleaned his clocks for 'em! I was like TOTALLY WICKED out there! That battle was RADICAL, yo! I''m da BEST!"
"We get it, 90's Boy," a girl with huge blue ponytails said on his computer. She almost looked like some girl from the television show Dinosaur King but, you know, with blue hair. He wouldn't think too far into it. "You're number 121 on the world rankings, and there's not even that many players."
"That's impossible because I'm the main character and I always succeed."
"If by that you mean always SUCK-ceed."
"I've gotta check this out for myself! HA! I'm at 117."
"That's still pretty bad, Daniel."
"Hey! I HATE being called Daniel! Don't call me that!"
"Save your breath for when you're actually GOOD, "Main Character"."
"Yeah, right. Like there's an anime with YOU as the star."
"Like there's one with YOU in it."
"As a matter of fact, there is! And besides, they'd never give a tsundere like YOU your own show! Only a jerk like me! Besides, you're ranked higher than - wait...uh...PFFUUUUU!!" He stuck out his tongue and spat.
"YEAH, like THAT'S real mature."
Another girl's chat box thing suddenly enlarged onscreen. "Aah!" At the sight of her huge eyes Dan leaped out of his chair. The girl had white hair and a ponytail on the side of her head, for some reason. She looked a lot like she would be a Winx Club character.
"Ohh, Dan, you are so STUPID!" she swooned, wiggling around crazily. "And I so LOVE that in a guy! 117? That's DOWN a few spots in one DAY because they changed the rating system!"
"Wha?"
"DEFINITELY worthy of a BIG KISS from JULIE! omgLOL!" With a lol she kissed the screen.
"EWWWWW! Gross! A rabid fangirl is kissing her monitor as a sign of affection! How STUPID! I'm too young for this, anyways. Girls are icky! EW! Cooties! How dumb!" He fell onto the ground, for fear of contracting cooties through a fast internet connection.
"Glad you like it! LOL!!"
"My nose is runny," Dan said, wiping his nose again. "Anyways, I'm a battle brawler, I'm not your boyfriend."
"You can be BOTH! omgLOL!!!!!"
"This is so idiotic," Ms. Tsundere said, turning her head slightly.
"DANNY I LUV U!!!!! lol im ur biggest fan!!!!!"
A blonde short glasses-wearing guy who looked suspiciously androgynous spoke up. His annoying, blond-haired, short status reminded others of Manta from Shaman King. "Now that she has gone into hyper chatspeak mode, we should ignore her. Perhaps now that you are researching a way to the top rank, might I suggest setting your sights on Shun, rank number 592, in FIFTEEN YEARS!?"
"Uh? Fifteen years? Why that long? That's DUM."
"There HAS to be SOME way you can battle him BEFORE then," some bland girl who looked a lot like a bunch of other orange-haired anime girls said, named Alice.
"Huh," Dan said, leaning back in his chair. "Well, since I'm the main character and all, and I really mean to brag, but he stands no chance against ME because I have an English name in Japan. And no one's EVER come close to CHALLENGING me. Except that fat kid Suchi...and that kid Yusuke...and the Snail Bunch and -- anyways, look out, Shun, 'cause I'm gonna take you down."
"He can't hear you," Marucho said.
"You've got a point."
Later that night...
In a more feudal-looking Japan, some guy named Shun stared up at a full moon. It glowed. That reminded him of Bakugan. He liked that.
HA! the purple-clad guy thought. I had no trouble beating those four-year-olds. They're just AMATEURS. I need a SERIOUS challenger, one who UNDERSTANDS the VESTROIA dimension.
That's because they're toddlers! replied a weird imaginary hamster by his side.
H-Hammy the Hamster!? YOU only appear when WEIRD CRAP'S about to happen...
Yeah! Watch out for weird crap soon!
A scary voice came from out of somewhere. Apparently whoever wrote the script for this program put this and Shun's thoughts so close together that this part might as well have been in his imagination and in reality at the same time. If only Dan knew Bakugan was more than just extreme marbles, but another universe entirely! IF ONLY HE KNEW!!! If only the boy knew of...VESTROIA!!!!! Powered by six other universes for some stupid reason, each powered by their own AWESOMELY named element!
The Earth element, Terry!
The Light element, Chaos! FWOOM SHING! RAWR!
The Dark element, Marcus! SHWOOP!
Aquis, or as you puny humans you call it, Wet Ones.
The Wind element, Air Vent. RAAAH
And the Fire element, Pirate. NO, NAGA! WWWAAAAIIIITTTTT!
Two dragons were flying around within the most fiery chili pepper in existence. One was red and orange while the other was white.
"Out of my way, Endymio!" the white one, Naga, said. He only opened his mouth once while speaking in an Indian accent, which was weird.
"Why must you have all this power, Naga?" Endymio said, also opening his mouth only once.
"SILENCE!!" Naga was revealed to be an ultra cyborg dragon thing! "You know NOTHING about us unfeeling cyborgs! You know NOTHING of my homeland!" Endymio could only stare with a funny face as he spoke. "I need to know about that kid Michael!"
"The one who died that summer?"
"AhahaNO!!" In his long claws he held...a flimsy trading card. "Do you know what THIS is?"
"A flimsy trading card?"
"AhahaNO!!"
Endymio squinted.
Slowly, Naga tossed the flimsy trading card. It spun around, turned silver, grew, and stopped slightly to the side of them. "IT IS A PORTAL, YOU IDIOT!! And it leads to the source of the power! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHA -" Endymio shoved him in. "BUT I WAS NOT DONE LAUGHING.....HA. Dimension of Vestroiaaaa......"
"No! If I weren't so annoyed by that evil laugh I could have easily restrained him...!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
We, the viewers, then fly out of the Pirate universe, out of the holy card game trinity, out of the awesome vortex and into Shun's head again.
Huh? I just imagined all of that?
No, not really. Like I said, weeeeeeiiirrrrrdddd crap! Hammy winked.
The next sunset...
Everything was all orangey and glowy. It reminded Dan of Bakugan. Today was especially Bakugan-y. TOO Bakugan-y.
Suchi and Akuma, who was looking dumber than ever, were standing there at Cobblestone Fountain. "I wanna rematch ya, PUNK!" Fatboy grunted. "You'd better have a clock, because I'm gonna clean it!"
"You LIKE being an idiot?"
"And I'm sure YOU like it, TOO!"
They took out some cards and shouted "Bakugan Field! Umber!" or something. A nearby car stopped to emphasize the AWESOME timestop teleportation effect. Now they were in Some Place.
"I'm gonna win 'cause I have MARCUS!" Suchi took out - *gasp* - a black-and-purple marble! Lines wiggled wildly to emphasize the change. "Bakugan Brawl! Unnh!" The marble opened to reveal a crocodile coming out of a capsule. It then glowed purple and transformed into a giant turtle. It yawned.
"Yikes!" was all Dan could say. He also made some anime sweat bubble things around his head. "How'd you get ahold of that Marcus guy!?"
"Let's just say...I have money, unlike YOU! Might as well call me...MONEYMAN! AAAH haaa!"
"If I'm gonna call you anything, it'll be...Suchi!"
"HEY!" He sniffled. "Don't call me that. Call me Fatboy."
"No way, Suchi! Now, what should I counter with...something weak or something strong..." He snapped his fingers. "I've got it! Bakugan Brawl!" He threw a marble down Marc Gamera's back. It opened to become...Palette Swap Rhinotron, otherwise known as Rhinozoid.
"You've gotta be kidding me! Rhinozoid!? He's a dummy. A big fat dummy!"
"Hey! Didn't anybody tell you the amount of Gs a Bakugan has is a key factor in the game!?"
"Exactly my point! Now for your funeral...FUNERAL IN BAKUGAN, THAT IS!! Bakugan Brawl!" He tossed a crab with a tail. It transformed into a man-headed scorpion! "Marcus HeadMantis!"
"That's not a mantis, Suchi! You're an idiot. You will SO not clean my CLOCKS! I can do that myself, thank you very much."
"You'll beat yourself up?"
"...No." He took a second glance at the thing. "Aah!"
"MARCUS HEADMANTIS POWER LEVEL 330. RHINOZOID POWER LEVEL SUCK."
Marcus HeadMantis kept jabbing his stinger at Rhinozoid, always missing horribly. When he DIDN'T miss horribly Rhinozoid easily tossed the stinger back. It continued in a neverending loop...or DID it? "Looks like I need a POWER BOOST!" Dan said. "Like Gatorade or something. Hey, do I have that card? Uh...no, but I CAN say...Gate Card, Open!" Suddenly the field was engulfed in flames. It didn't hurt the Marcus Bakugan guys at all, but somehow it made Rhinozoid GAIN power.
"POWER LEVEL INCREASED TO 310 G'S."
"Ha! You still suck!"
Marcus HeadMantis stood there for a second, then frowned. He belched. Then he poked Rhinozoid in the tummy. Rhinozoid glowed red, turned into a marble, and bounced back to Dan's side of the field.
"Man, things aren't looking good for me. If I could have boosted his G's by 20 or more..."
"How's it feel to have your clocks cleaned?" Fatboy taunted.
Looking kind of funny, Dan countered, "Good. Now I can tell time."
"HUH!?!? You're an idiot."
Back with Shun...
Shun was sitting outside, looking at the sunset. Hammy the Hamster appeared by his side! WEIRDCRAP! he said telepathically. Then, another weird thought came to him! It was about Vestroia again...
Naga flew out from the other side of the portal. He was exiting a huge chili pepper, the Pirate galaxy. He flew a ways away and found...two huge orbs, one red, one blue. "At LAST, I have FOUND the CENTER of the UNIVERSE! And it was so impossibly easy as well! There they are, the two conflicting energies, Infinity and Silence! Wait, those do not conflict at all! You can have infinite silence! They can work together in harmony! And why are they spherical? That...makes even less sense than the Pirate universe! But anyways, if I can absorb these two awesome energies, I can CONQUER Earth AND Vestroia! And Pluto. Pluto is awesome. Yes! FEEL the POWER, my tummy!" Two orbs of ultra-glowy powah landed in his mouth and went down his throat like lozenges. "Infinite...POWER! INFINITE POWER! INFINITE...POWER! INFINITE POWER!! INfinite...POWer! INFINITE POWER!!! Infinite...power...infinitePOWER!!!!! Infinite...POWER...INFINITE POWER! INFINITE power...infinite POWAH!!!!!!!!!!"
He could hear voices in his tummy saying...You've got the power! Nintendo power! Segata Satan, SHIRO!! The voices only got louder as the power swirled within. YOU'VE GOT THE POWER!! NINTENDO POWER!! SEGATA SATAN, SHIRO!!! Then he felt a rumbly in his tummy. The energy orbs really WERE conflicting!
"No... O....." The red ball exploded and the blue ball flew into a portal.
All of the stupid galaxies started dancing. Endymio said blandly, "What's...happening?"
"Earthquake, idiot!" a random fiery bat shouted, flying away.
"Naga...it must be Naga's doing...!!"
The wall of the chili pepper disintegrated, and a giant fighting robot flew past him. Something in the background echoed, "TRANSFORMERS, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE." He stopped in midvacuumofspace and turned around.
"What's a MARCUS Bakugan doing in PIRATESPACE!?"
"I FLEW HERE, ****IT!" The Marcus Transformer, feeling insulted, lunged at him with his claws.
Even Dan felt the pulse of this battle between Nintendo and Sega-like entities. Suddenly the pyramids in the background were on fire. Suddenly EVERYTHING was on fire! Suddenly Dan was levitating! "Waaah! This is even weirder than the crap that went down the night when cards rained down from the - ACK!" One of the most awesome battles in the universe just pushed past him. "A dragon and a Transformer! I've GOTTA watch THIS! Wait, that's my Bakugan! Woah! Awesome! All I care about are my marble card games! Mom can suck it!" A cool vortex appeared and sucked him in. "!!!!!"
He was back in the Bakugan game. "Wow, that was...totally stupid. Hey, when did I send out Snakerake? And who won that awesome battle?"
"Uhh...shut up!" Suchi "Fatboy" Janken shouted. "Bakugan Brawl!" Snakerake easily coiled around Marcus HeadMantis. "WHAAAAA!?!?"
"Whatever happened to your talk about cleanin' clocks, SOOCHY?"
"Aah! Don't call me that!" His tummy jiggled as he sobbed.
"Command Card! Quartet Kettle, activate! Now!"
At the same time he used that card, Endymio and Marcscream were still fighting...and then they disappeared! "RAA-" Endymio began to yell, fading away.
Dan's card was glowing! "WhawhaWHAAAA!?!?" The card transformed into...Endymio! "Darnit! My rare card just transformed into something slightly less useful. I'm not gonna use THAT one." Just as he said that, a plastic marble came out of his card and rolled onto the field. "Uh. Well, THAT sucks. At least it's a Dragonoid, not just a dumb old DRAGON."
"Wh-WHHHOOOAAAAAHHHH!" Suchi fell onto his bottom as his card did almost the exact same thing. The two marbles forced themselves onto the field and transformed into...Marcscream and Endymio! They continued brawling in exactly the same fashion as they had been doing before.
"-AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaauuuuuuh. Uh." Endymio and Marcscream looked around for a second. "Stop looking at us when we're brawlin'!" They continued their slapfight.
"Hey! YOU must be the two guys having an AWESOME FIGHT! Let's watch, Fatboy!"
"Don't call me - hey, thanks."
"Don't mention it."
"COME to your SENSES, lad!" Endymio shouted telepathically, opening his mouth for no apparent reason. "Naga has taken away your SENSE of REASON, I guess!"
"PUT UP YER DUKES."
"Now he's up for a fistfight! His power is BUILDING!!"
"Doth mine eyes deceive me..." Suchi said, dazed-sounding. He'd seen cards fall from the sky, stopped time, gone to a sub-universe or something and he thought THIS was unusual.
"Boost Tiger! Poh!" Endymio spat a boom bubble at Marcscream, who was vaporized for some reason. Dan won, apparently.
They went back to the real world. A car fell off the bridge and onto the broken bench, which was being repaired. There were two casualties and fifteen injuries, nine fatal. "I lost again, haaaaa," Suchi laughed. He should have been crying, really.
"That was so weird," Dan said. "
Later that night...
Only a few windows were glowing in Dan's World. "TALK, MR. MARBLE!!" he yelled, throwing the Endymio game piece on the floor. It did nothing. Dan picked it up again and laid on his bed. "No biggie, dawg. I'm gonna call you DRAGO 'cause you're a DRAGOnoid. I'm brilliant."
Endymio - I mean, DRAGO - sobbed. NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -
"Good night, inanimate object!" he said, putting it on the desk next to his Keroro Gunsou action figures. "You too, Keroro and Tamama! I'd let you take over the world any day! Now to hook up to da Net!" He went to his computer, which immediately turned on. The chat box chums appeared.
"Hey. You're BACK," Marucho greeted.
"The weirdest thing happened today!"
"Weirder than cards raining!?" Runo gasped.
"No. A dragon and a Transformer fought on the battlefield."
"That's not weird. That happens on Worldwide Bakugan Day. It's annual," Marucho stated. "Only this one included slapfighting, and I concur, that is a bit odd..."
"Log on to the website, idiot!" Julie grinned. "What, you don't browse the internet and spend all your time playing with marbles and talking to US?"
He looked at the chatroom and was met by annoying pop-ups featuring long nose hairs. "AAAHH! They're talking about NOSE HAIR, you liar! I hate you, Julie!"
"SQUEEE!"
It DID talk! Maybe the Bakugan world has more to it than we thought!
Coming up on Bakugan Battle Brawlers!
I try to get Drago to talk in front of all of my peers, for some stupid reason. The teacher is too old to understand all this Bakugan "nonsense"! guess her mind's too filled with STUPID stuff to hold anything else! And to make matters worse, some guy called Mask the Money shows up and eats everyone's Bakugan! Watch what happens when I battle him and aim for the tummy! BAKUGAN BRAWL! *wipes nose* Let's battle!
We leave our audience today with...the Bakugan dance.
Dooby da doo DEE dooby da doo DEE, dooby dooby doob DEE dooby dooby doob DEE, dooby da dooby doo dee!
[NOTE: His name was Akira, not Akuma. Who cares, anyways?]
