What do you believe in? Throughout the ages, people have made formed religions based on their beliefs. Even in the era of science over superstition, people have their own views on what is right and what is fact. The base of this complex system of thought is trust. After all, how can civilizations exist without trust of values?
I had no such trust.
For as long as I could remember, I could never find anyone or anything to count on. I had some hope in a few things, but in the end they always let me down. Even my parents are below my standards. Dad is always away working and my mother is too incompetent to do anything right. It would seem to be fate that I would die all alone…
But then… one day… cards rained from the sky…
Call me crazy if you want, but that is what happened. At first I thought someone's trading cards got caught in the wind, but these cards had an unworldly essence to them. To make matters stranger, a ball had suddenly rolls by my feet. Like the cards, this was no normal ball; it also changed into a figure of a monster.
This event was obviously a sign from above. What this sign was I needed to figure out. It took a few days, but in the end I found out the peculiar items were part of a game which the ball is used for fighting and the cards are for support. I reported my research on the internet, only to be replied by insults. However… there were five people who believed in…
Runo: A hot-headed girl who longs for a soul mate.
Marucho: A wealthy boy bound by his family name.
Julie: A flirty female desperate for the approval of others.
Shun: A quiet guy that hides his feeling by becoming a ninja.
Alice: A gentle lass doomed to be used by another.
It was because their acceptance of my discovery that we all became friends. Chatting with my new-found companions, we discussed the unexplained appearances and made a theory that we are to play this new game in order to protect ourselves for an oncoming threat. With such a grim future expected to come by, we formed an alliance to spread the word and encourage others to play our game that we named 'Bakugan'. We expected resistance, but that will not cease our fighting spirits… not as long as we have each other…
My name is Dan, and I am a prophet of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!
