Ugh so I decided to make Azreal's evolution into a separate part because it doesn't really follow the main story line. Now I just want you all to know that I wrote this one a long long time ago, like when I was about half way through Two Birds One Stone so it might be a little rusty :( don't flame!
Now I based Azreal's story after Leonidas from the Bakugan game, because Leonidas is awesome. I honestly was planning on making Leonidas Ayden's guardian Bakugan. It's part of the reason why I made Azreal Haos (Leonidas' official attribute is Haos) and why his current form is Omega Azreal.
I also wanted fill in the plot hole of what happened to Volt and Lync. I mean, they turn good and get taken out! NO!
I do not own Bakugan, only Ayden, Azreal and Maelstrom.
Normal POV
'Azreal, wait! Don't go!'
'I'm sorry, but this is something I must do.'
The voices soon faded as Azreal's eyes slowly opened. He blinked a few times in order to clear his vision. Once his eyes were clear, he sighed.
"I never thought I'd find myself here again." He said to himself. Azreal slowly stood up and gazed into the barren, grey land overcast by dark purple skies.
He thought of flying, but what was the point? It wasn't like there was anything here for him to urgently get to. Azreal looked into the dark sky and let out a roar. It was not powerful like his usual battle cries; it was filled with pain and sorrow.
"What was that?"
Boriates stopped when Volt heard the cry of a dragon. He turned to the direction where he heard the roar.
"It sounded like a dragon. What do you think Boriates?" asked Volt.
Boriates nodded his head.
"We should check it out. Let's go." Boriates turned around and walked to the direction of the roar.
After walking for nearly five minutes, Volt spotted a green, white and grey Bakugan.
"Hey, that looks like…Aluze? Hurry, Boriates!" Boriates picked up his pace and set Volt on the ground when the reached the fallen Aluze.
"If Aluze is here, then Lync should be here too." Said Volt to himself. He scanned around for any sign for his pink-haired friend. "Boriates, help me find Lync."
Boriates nodded and began walking in the opposite direction of Volt.
Boriates made a sound. "You found him?" Volt ran over to Boriates and saw Lync lying on the ground.
"Lync? Lync! Wake up!" Volt shook Lync until his eyes opened.
"Huh…what? Volt? What are you doing here? Where am I?" Lync sat up and rubbed his head.
"I'm not sure where this is, but I'm glad someone I know is here."
"Volt, I'm glad to see you're ok. I was worried after Hydron came back saying he took care of you."
"Well actually I beat him and flipped out."
"Ha ha, that sounds like him. Yeah, he came after me when I tried to take data on the Alternative to this girl on Earth. She was really nice to me that time I was stuck on Earth and I didn't want her to get hurt because of us."
"Looks like neither of us belong in the Vexos anymore."
"Yeah. Oh, where's Aluze?" cried Lync in worry.
"Over there."
Lync got up and ran over to his fallen partner. He stopped at Aluze's head and lightly placed his hands on Aluze.
"Aluze, can you hear me? It's your buddy Lync. Wake up!" cried Lync in worry.
Aluze's pink lenses glimmered and began glowing, indicating that he began functioning.
A few seconds of scanning took place and Aluze immediately recognized his master, Lync. He made a cry as if to say he was all right.
"Aluze, I'm so glad you're ok! That Hydron can't keep us down can he?"
Aluze made another cry, agreeing with what Lync said. He stood up and hovered in front of his master.
"So do you have any idea what this place is?" asked Lync.
"I haven't got a clue, but I heard something off in that direction. Boriates and I were heading there when we found you."
"Then lets head over there. It might help us figure out where we are."
Boriates lifted Volt onto his shoulder while Aluze lowered his head so Lync could climb on before heading to the direction Volt spoke of.
Azreal cried out again.
"Why? Why after all of this am I to wind up back here?"
Azreal punched some rocks in rage, easily smashing them to bits.
"It was no coincidence that you would wind up here again, Great Beast King."
Azreal looked up in the sky and saw a human-like creature with cream-colored skin and purple and white clothes.
"Ancient Warrior Lars Lion, I thought you were dead, especially after you gave Nemus your Haos Attribute Energy."
"If a spirit is powerful enough, we can remain among the living, at least until our final duty is done."
"And to what do I owe this honor?"
"Such rudeness Azreal, you have not changed a bit and do not underestimate our abilities."
"Of course I have! If you haven't noticed, I am now Haos attributed and I have a partner!"
"Perhaps your outward appearance has changed but it cannot hide the beast of rage and hate that lived here."
"Why am I cursed to live here! Everywhere I go, I see barren land, no life, nothing!" A pure white dragon shouted in vain at the sky.
Time and time again he would see vision of a beautiful world filled with creatures like him. However, they were red, blue, brown, gold, green and black.
Why was he not in this world? And why was he not one of those six colors. Had he been cursed to live his life in a barren wasteland as a pale white creature?
From time to time, another creature like him would wind up in this world of death. Out of his rage, the white dragon would challenge the frightened Bakugan to a battle. The dragon would always prevail, his opponent turning to stone as a result.
Another vision portal opened in the sky, showing that beautiful world the dragon coveted to visit. Across it flew a beautiful green phoenix.
The dragon remained speechless and simply started at the emerald beauty soar by. Occasionally this vision of loveliness would appear, but still she was out of his reach.
It had been weeks since the white dragon saw the emerald phoenix. Bakugan continued falling into his world, but he started ignoring them, solely concentrating on finding a way out. If Bakugan could come here, then surely there was a way to get back out.
One day, he came across some larger Bakugan ganging up on a small gold and white griffin. They had him backed into a corner with nowhere to go. The dragon wasn't sure what came over him. He jumped in to defend the young creature and easily fought off the bullies.
He gave the griffon a look and continued on. The griffin was stunned for a moment but began following the dragon.
"Quit following me!" he shouted to the griffin. He was taken aback but once the dragon turned around to keep walking, the griffin resumed following him like a lost puppy.
The dragon turned and saw that the griffin was still trailing behind him. "Fine, do what you want."
The dragon felt the ground begin to shake.
Another vision appeared, showing the splendid world split into six separate dimensions.
The portal seemed to get larger and closer to him.
This was his chance! "Come on!" he cried to his griffin companion. "We're getting out of this place!"
Finally a way out of this hellhole! The dragon spread his large wings and soared through the portal closely followed by his young companion.
He had hoped to find himself in the green world, where his jade beauty would be, but instead he found himself in a world of light with creatures colored yellow, white and highlights of blue.
Though he tried to make his way to the green world, he could not leave this world of light, Haos, the other creatures called it.
Apparently, each color represented an element or attribute. Red was fire, Pyrus. Blue was water, Aquos. Brown was earth, Subterra. Black was darkness, Darkus. Green was wind, Ventus. And gold was light, Haos.
Over the next period of time, the dragon felt his internal structure change. Before he knew it, he too had powers of light and his body was no longer the pale color it once was. Now it shone a brilliant golden and white color with blue trimmings.
Over time he was able to break free from the Haos world and enter the Ventus land, where he finally met the phoenix, Skyress, she said her name was.
He had what he wanted, freedom from the doomed dimension he was born in. He saw the greatness of the life before him, the world he so longed to be in.
But the demons of his past, the innocent creatures he put down would haunt him forever.
The dragon felt another rift as he and many other Haos Bakugan were sucked into a portal.
He could sense that they were no longer on New Vestroia, and they were stuck in some sort of…ball form. His griffon friend was stuck in a cylinder shape. It really restricted their movements.
This new world was filled with tall buildings and people, much larger than them, but they would be puny compared to their real size. Many of the Bakugan that got sucked in with him were there too, but were soon picked up by these people.
Eventually, they were found by a young girl with green hair.
"I've changed since then! I fell in love! I made friends!" Azreal shouted at Lars Lion, only to see that she was gone. Azreal heard a noise behind him and turned, seeing a white and a green creature. "Who- you! What are you doing here?"
"Us? We should ask you the same question." Said Lync.
"Yeah, would you happen to know what this place is?" asked Volt.
"This, this place is the living nightmare of all Bakugan. It is the very underworld of all Bakugan. But I suppose that explains why yours are unaffected."
"Unaffected? What do you mean?" asked Lync.
"This place steals the very life force of Bakugan that stay too long. But since Boriates and Aluze are mechanical, I suppose that is why they are unharmed: their chemical and biological makeup is different from organic Bakugan."
"But you still haven't told us what this place is." Said Volt.
"This place…is the Doom Dimension. This is where I was born."
Yeah dun dun dun Doom Dimension, big fucking surprise. God I have no imagination! But what can I say, a Bakugan born in the Doom Dimension is kinda cool! That's why Leonidas was kinda the base for Azreal.
Part two is the conclusion so stay tuned, but of course it'll be updated by the time Azreal gets to the final battle.
Please don't flame!
