Despite all odds, I've come here to write up an awesome Bakugan fanfic! Bakugan: Battle Brawlers was practically the whole reason I planned to write this, but if anyone can disagree with me on this, New Vestroia was practically the last of the whole show's awesomeness, and the rest were quite... Well, I can't really say crap because I'd probably get beaten up by a lot of negative reviews, so I'd just say not as awesome as the first two, although I actually enjoyed them. So, without further ado, I give you(heh, that rhymes! It's a joke. Some people just don't get a good joke)... Bakugan Battle Brawlers: Radiant Destiny!
Chapter 1: The Battle Begins
Theodore sat in his medium sized room, watching the current Bakugan battle on his laptop screen. It was a must for him to watch Bakugan battles on a Saturday afternoon, but it was also a must to keep his room as messy as possible, something his Mother couldn't live with. He had messy chestnut hair that spiked to the left with emerald green eyes. He wore his occasional blue leather jacket, a plain black t-shirt, white slightly skinny jeans and a pair of blue sneakers with white streaks on the side. A pair of red ringed goggles hung around his neck. Slotting his headphones into his ears, he listened to the never-ending sound of the announcer babbling on about the battlers before the battle took off. Apparently, today's battle was between some raven haired girl named Dianne and some hotshot beginner name Sebastian. From the information he'd gained from the announcer, Dianne was a Pyrus brawler and Sebastian was a Subterra brawler.
"And the battle takes off, with Dianne throwing in her Pyrus Griffon while Sebastian start's off strong with his guardian bakugan Subterra Alphus!"
Subterra Alphus was a gigantic golem similar to Subterra Gorem, except his armor was more modern, the shield was more square shaped and the hammer was replaced with a gigantic greatsword, that rested by his side. His arms were much bulkier and was about three-quarters of Gorem's size.
Griffon: 550 Alphus: 700
'Hmm, I wonder why she's even using a Griffon against a guardian bakugan' Theodore thought as he watched the battle. 'If there's anything I've learnt about going up against guardian bakugan with ordinary bakugan, it's that you will lose unless you're very skilled. Maybe it's her tactic or something similar.'
Griffon took off from the ground and circled around Alphus from the air. "Ability Activate! Fire Tornado!" shouted Dianne. Slowly, flames began to consume Griffon, before it's whole body was covered in flames that formed a tornado round it. Griffon then dived down towards Alphus at full speed.
Griffon: 650 Alphus: 600
"You think that a difference of 50Gs is going to stop me and Alphus?" Sebastian said, pulling out an ability card. "Ability Activate! Boulder Bash!" Alphus was surrounded by a light brown aura that acted as a shield as Griffon dived down, easily cancelling out it's attack.
"Now that's what I'm taking about. There's no way you're going to defeat me that easily!" Alphus roared.
Griffon: 600 Alphus: 700
"And you think a 100G difference is going to stop me and Griffon? Ability Activate! Wing Burst!" Tendrils of fire emerged from Griffon's wings, before raining down on Alphus. Unable to dodge the attacks, Alphus tried to use his shield to block the attacks, all to no avail.
Griffon: 700 Alphus: 600
"And now for the finishing touch. Double Ability Activate, Wing Burst plus Fire Tornado!" Griffon was engulfed in a fire tornado, and tendrils were forming out of his wings, but instead of shooting down at Alphus, they formed round Griffon as he dived down at Alphus.
"A double ability already? It seems as though this battle has already been decided" the announcer's voice boomed out of the speakers.
Sebastian smiled. "Just because you're using a double ability doesn't mean that you're going to win. I've been waiting for this moment." Sebastian pulled out an ability card and slotted it into his gauntlet. "Ability Activate! Sonic Slash!"
"Finally! Now we're talking" Alphus said, pulling out his sword which was now covered in a fierce light brown aura. The fire that was shielding Griffon slowly began to fade away, until there was nothing left.
Griffon: 500 Alphus: 900
"What the what? How is that even possible?!" Dianne asked, unaware of the strange ability card.
"Let me explain. Sonic Slash is an ability that adds 300Gs to Alphus and depletes the same amount of Gs from you bakugan" Sebastian said matter-of-factly. "In the process, it also nullifies your ability. And now for the finish touch... Ability Activate! Elemental Undergound!" Alphus leapt off the ground, pulling his sword behind him as he readied himself for the final blow.
Griffon: 500 Alphus: 1100
"Damn it! I have to do something or else I'll end up losing my Griffon. Ability Activate..." Dianne began to say, but was cut off as Alphus drove his sword into Griffon's chest. Griffon began to glow red, before returning into it's ball form and landing at Sebastian's feet.
Griffon: 500(K.O.) Alphus: 1100
'Dianne life force 0 percent. Winner, Sebastian' the gauntlet sounded.
Alphus let out a mighty roar before glowing brown and returning to it's ball form and returning to Sebastian. "It's all over! After a stunning display of creativeness and strategy, Sebastian has emerged victorious from the battle, along with taking Dianne's Griffon" the announcer spoke. "If Sebastian continues his victorious run, he and Alphus are going to make it to the top ten rankings in no time!"
"Beginner's luck" Theodore said as he finished the battle. Obviously, Dianne's tactics hadn't gone as planned. He'd watched a few of her battles some weeks ago, and from what he'd discovered, she used weaker bakugan to study his opponent before sending out her guardian bakugan, Pyrus Starlight. Theodore used the same tactic, except his bakugan were never defeated, and he didn't exactly have a guardian bakugan. Having nothing better to do, he scrolled down the rankings until he reached his name. Ranking #137. Although he'd been battling for a few years now and was a skilled brawler, he was surprised how he still had such a low ranking. Probably because he fought most of his battles outside Bakugan Interspace.
He heard something budge behind him, and heard the occasional sound of his door trying to be opened. Luckily, it was being blocked by a bomb of dirty clothes, which were kept there if his Mother ever found his room messy and he needed to escape. He stared at the rest of his room, which was in a much wore state that yesterday, with dirty clothes practically making a carpet round his whole floor with empty packets of noodles lying around.
'Crap! If my mom finds my room in this state, I'm dead. Time for Plan B' he thought, grabbing his bag off the ground and stuffing his laptop inside. He grabbed his bakugan off the desk, and using swift procedures he'd made up incase he was ever to find himself in this situation, he jumped out of the window and rushed as far away from the house as possible. He didn't know how, but in the next few minutes, he found himself at the park. Sitting on a wooden bench, he watched as a few kids traded ability cards somewhere in the middle of the park. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, letting all his troubles away. He felt like he was finally at peace, that is, until he felt a hand nudge his shoulder. Opening up his eyes, a familiar figure entered his field of vision.
"Hey, aren't you Sebastian, the hotshot beginner who beat that Dianne girl earlier today?" Theodore asked.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you would like a battle" Sebastian said, nervously scratching the back of his head. "There aren't that many people around here that could give me a challenge, and I thought you might want to battle the next #1 ranked brawler."
Theodore smiled. Obviously, Sebastian didn't know who he was talking to. "Fine, I'll battle you. That is, if you can keep up." Theodore pulled out his green and white gauntlet along with a black card which had different attribute signs on it. Sebastian did the same, placing his brown and black gauntlet onto his arm and pulling out a card similar to Theodore's.
"Gauntlet Power Strike!" they both yelled as they placed their power cards into their gauntlet. Time around them began to slow down until it was completely frozen.
"OK, I'll start first. Gate card set!" Sebastian said, throwing a faced down Subterra gate card onto the ground. "Bakugan brawl! Go Subterra Alphus!" Subterra Alphus entered the battle with his signature roar.
"Starting strong already, huh? Well, I guess it's what to expect from a beginner with no skill" Theodore muttered under his breath before pulling out a light green bakugan with dark green accents. "Bakugan brawl! Go Ventus Ravenoid!"
Alphus: 700 Ravenoid: 580
"Heh, this is going to be so easy" Alphus laughed.
"Alphus, stay focused. We don't want to lose this battle" Sebastian said, not wanting Alphus to get carried away. "Gate card Open! Subterra Terrain!" The battle field around them began to change as huge rock-like mountains began to appear and the cold concrete beneath them turned into a desert-like wasteland.
Alphus: 900 Ravenoid: 380
"Don't think you're going to win that easily" Theodore said, slotting in a green ability card into his gauntlet. "Ability Activate! Tornado Pandemonium! A gigantic tornado emerged from the ability card, shattering the gate card instantly. "Just because you're strong doesn't mean you're going to win every battle."
Alphus: 700 Ravenoid: 580
"Destroying my gate card with one move? Nice, but we both know who's going to come out victorious" Sebastian smiled. "Ability Activate! Sonic Slash!" Alphus' sword began to glow bright orange as he charged towards Theodore's Ravenoid.
"The battle ends here!" Alphus roared as he swung his sword at Ravenoid.
Alphus: 1000 Ravenoid: 580
"Not on my watch it is. Ability Activate! Immobile!" Ravenoid made duplicates of itself, leaving Alphus wandering around trying to find the real Ravenoid. He had finally defeated all the clones, but the real Ravenoid.
Alphus: 800 Ravenoid: 780
"Hey, where did you go? Come and fight you coward!" Alphus said angrily as he looked around.
"Right behind you! Ability Activate! Wind Resistance!" Ravenoid was concealed in a light green aura, and began striking Alphus in all directions while moving at unimaginable speed. Alphus' G-Power slowly began to decrease my 50Gs.
Alphus: 600 Ravenoid: 980
"Don't think you're going to defeat me that easily" Sebastian yelled angrily. "Ability Activate! Boulder Bash!" Sebastian shouted, but the ability didn't seem to be working, Alphus still taking massive amounts of damage. "What the hell? How come my ability doesn't seem to be working?!"
"Wind Resistance is an ability that not only adds 200Gs to Ravenoid and decreases the same amount to your bakugan, but also stops you from using any of your ability cards for the next two rounds" Theodore smirked. "And now for the finishing touch. Ability Activate! Piercing Storm!" The whole battlefield was engulfed in large tornados, and Ravenoid was covered in a fiery green aura. Letting out a loud cry, it charged forward and struck Alphus in the chest. Alphus, unable to dodge, returned to it's ball form and fell at Sebastian's feet.
Alphus: 600(K.O.) Ravenoid: 1350
Sebastian life force 40 percent.
"Are you ready to give up yet, or are you ready to brawl?" Theodore said, a small smile forming on his lips.
"There's no way I'm going to lose to to chump like you! Let's get this battle started already!" Sebastian said, gritting his teeth as he fidgeted with Alphus in his hands.
"Good. There'll be no point if your heart's not into it. Gate card set!" Theodore threw a face down Ventus gate card onto the floor. "Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand! Go Ventus Ravenoid!" Ravenoid let out a high pitched cry as it entered the battle.
"We better not lose this one, Alphus. Bakugan brawl! Make this one count Subterra Alphus!" Alphus let out a mighty roar, glaring at Ravenoid as it entered the battlefield.
Alphus: 700 Ravenoid: 580
"I'm not going to lose this next one! Mark my words, you'll pay for defeating me" Alphus said as Sebastian pulled out an ability card and slotted it into his gauntlet.
"Ability Activate! Sonic Slash!" Alphus charged forward, aiming his glowing sword at Ravenoid.
Alphus: 1000 Ravenoid: 280
"I thought you might do that, so I had a little plan formulated just incase. Gate card open! Ventus Barrier!" A green glass-like barrier formed around Ravenoid just before Alphus' attacked had hit. But what suprised Sebastian the most was that the barrier hadn't shattered into a million pieces and won them the battle.
"What?! I was sure that would secure our victory. No matter, we'll just have to use more power if we want to break down that barrier. Alphus, continue attacking." Alphus kept attacking the barrier, hoping to get a few cracks on it, all to no avail.
"Are you done yet, because I'm pretty sure you're going to lose your bakugan if you keep attacking my barrier" Theodore said, getting bored of Sebastian futile attempts to break the barrier.
"What do you mean lose my bakugan? Alphus has a way higher G-Power than your Ravenoid" Sebastian said, saying Ravenoid with disgust.
"Check again."
Sebastian looked down as his gauntlet and was surprised at the result.
Alphus: 450 Ravenoid: 900
"What the hell is going on?! How come Alphus has a lower G-Power than Ravenoid when your bakugan has been doing nothing but hide in that barrier of yours?!"
"The Gate card Ventus Barrier is a special gate card for my Ventus Bakugan. It creates a glass-like barrier that absorbs the power of any attack that is placed onto it and transports all that power into the bakugan inside the barrier." Theodore then pulled out two ability cards and slotted them into his gauntlet. "And now to finish you off for good. Double Ability Activate! Wind Resistance plus Piercing Storm!" Larger tornados appeared on the battlefield as Ravenoid began to glow bright green, but the aura was much fiercer than the first time. Moving at speeds Alphus was unable to dodge against, Ravenoid grabbed Alphus and pulled him up into the air before diving down towards the ground, spinning wildly in an attempt to strength the force of the impact. Once they were nearer to the ground, Ravenoid let go and let Alphus hit the ground with such immense force that it left a crater in the floor.
Alphus: 250(K.O.) Ravenoid: 1170
Alphus glowed brown and moved towards Theodore, easily catching the Subterra bakugan in his hands. Soon after, Ravenoid let out a high pitched victory cry before returning to its ball form and back to Theodore.
Sebastian life force 0 percent. Winner, Theodore.
Time slowly returned to normal around them. Sebastian fell to his knees, wondering how he'd lost his guardian bakugan to a normal bakugan. He was just about to break out into tears when he felt something roll up next to his hand. Opening his eyes, he turned to see Alphus rolled up next to him. Filled with satisfaction, he turned up to face Theodore.
"W-wait a second. You're not going to t-take my bakugan?" Sebastian asked, curious.
"I'm not that type of guy. And besides, I'm a Ventus brawler. If I took your Subterra bakugan, I'm more likely to give it to some random Subterra brawler" Theodore said to him, his back facing Sebastian. "Furthermore, you need Alphus by your side if you want to become a stronger brawler. You'll never find another guardian bakugan like him." Before Sebastian had any time to congratulate him, Theodore began to walk away towards him home, thoughts about how he was going to be in so much trouble blocking his mind. He almost didn't notice himself walking into his room and falling onto his bed. Unfortunately for him though, he didn't noticed his mom standing behind his bedroom door.
"And just where have you been young man?" she said sternly, knocking him out of his thoughts. "I've been waiting for you for three hours! And didn't I tell you to clean up your room yesterday?!"
"I've been out battling brawlers, mom, like every other normal teenager here in Bakugan City" he said, putting for emphasis on 'Bakugan' to get his point across. "Besides, I'll clean up my room later, right after I get some dinner and a good night's sleep."
"Not in my house you won't. Until I see this room cleaned and spotless, you are not leaving this room. Understand?"
"But mom..."
"Understand?" she said more sternly.
"Fine" Theodore grumbled. He knew very well there was no point in arguing with his mom since she'd win every argument, so he began to clean his room. Although with the state it was currently in, it took him more than planned to clean up his room. By the time he was finished, it was already 11: 35 PM. Not bothering to change into his pajamas, he slumped onto his bed and closed his eyes, letting the toll of sleep overtake him.
Before he even had a few minutes of sleep, he heard the sound of glass cracking from his window. Shooting out from his bed, he looked at the small hole in his window where the glass was broken. It wasn't big enough for a thief to break in. Two options flooded Theodore's mind: either 1) a trained hitman/assassin was trying to kill him, or 2) someone had harshly thrown a bakugan threw his window while trying to win a bet or something similar. Seeing as the first option was less likely to happen, he wildly guessed that it was the second option. He followed the trail of broken glass from his window and traced it towards the middle of his room. He gasped in shock.
Standing right in the middle of the room...
Was a green and black...
Bakugan!
OK, so first things first. How much do you like this fanfic? Review your opinions since this is the first time I have ever written a Bakugan fanfic. Obviously, I had given Ravenoid a few ability cards to make him stronger and upped his G-Power, but that was for a certain reason that will be explained to you or come to you if you carefully read the chapter carefully. Stay tuned, and stay here for Chapter 2 of Bakugan Battle Brawlers: Radiant Destiny!
