Chapter 1: Enter the Brawlers
My life was changed the day I got that email.
My name is Nick. I'm a Haos brawler. I was wearing my usual blue jeans, black shirt, and dark blue hoodie. I always have my white Baku-pod on my arm and a Bakuclip on my belt. I always let my black hair cover my right eye. My Bakugan are Tuskor, Fear Ripper, and Falconeer.
I was in the park brawling against Shuji. Today he was using Darkus, but when I battled him three days ago he was Ventus.
"UUUGH!" He screamed after losing. "How does this keep happening? I've tried every attribute, but none work!"
"That's why," I tried explaining. "You spend so much time on trying to find an attribute to beat me when the solution is simple; power up one attribute."
"Forget this!" He ran off.
"Whatever." I said, turning around and walking home.
I logged onto the Bakugan chat rooms to connect with my team. One-by-one they appeared on the screen; Lucy, our Pyrus brawler, Jenny, our Aquos, Jewls, (yes, both are the Jenny and Jewls from Super Sync Sound) our Subterra, and our newest member Mui (she just started and is Ventus).
"What, you started without me?" I asked, sarcastically.
"We waited as long as we could." Lucy said. She was wearing a white tank top. Her blonde hair was flowing over her shoulders.
"So, anyone else win any battles today?"
"We were recording today," said Jewls. "So we couldn't."
"Sorry." Jenny apologized.
"No biggie." I told them.
"I won my first battle today." Mui said. "And it's all thanks to my new partner."
"New partner?" Lucy asked.
She held out her hands to reveal a Ventus Monarus. "Here she is."
"Monarus." I said. "Strong Bakugan."
"It is nice to meet you all." Monarus' voice was high, but filled with wisdom.
"Nicholas!" My mom yelled from downstairs. "Your dinner's ready."
"Gotta go." I said. "I smell pasta." I logged off.
After dinner I checked my email.
"What's this?" I had a message from an unknown address.
A guy I had never seen popped up on the screen. He had a white mask with red lines where his eyebrows would be covering the right side of his face. His voice was sharp, like being cut with a knife. "I have heard you are the strongest brawler in all of New York. I am here to prove you wrong. If you are really as strong as you say you are meet me in the park closest to your house. I'll be waiting until midnight, if you are not there that will be taken as a forfeit."
The message got deleted.
"I don't know who you are, but mark my words: my Bakugan and I will beat you."
