Okay. So, a New and Interesting Adventure is done. Now, I can work on this one. I think I'll call it... Dan and Runo's Legend. So, waddaya think of that? Argh. Stupid spell check. Okay, so on with the intro!
"So, this is the new story, huh," Runo asks, leaning over Breezyfeather's shoulder to look at the screen. She nods. (Okay, I started the fan-fiction before as Silverwing, and then I found that the name was already taken, and I forgot to go back and change it, so Silverwing is the same-sadistic- person as Breezyfeather) "Is it the sequel to the other one?"
"Yup. You and Dan are the main characters again, and then the others are all sub characters," she explained.
"You seem much more mellow today. What did you do, take anger management classes or something," Dan asked.
"No. I just happen to be in a good mood," Breezyfeather says.
"Okay then," Shun says. "No more chaining me to the ceiling! You did that often enough in the last story!"
"Okay, Shun. I'll just chain you to... hm... who does he hate the most?"
"Lync. And Gus. And maybe Volt. Ooh, chain him to Komba!"
"On it," Breezyfeather says, grabbing a pair of shackles.
"Seriously, why are you always picking on him, Breezyfeather," Lync asks, watching as Shun dodges one of the sharpened stick traps and Breezyfeather's shackles.
"Because he's fun to antagonize... I think," Breezyfeather says. "Or at least, that's what my sister tells me whenever she drives me crazy."
"You have a sister- oh right, the one that is always bugging you to play that stupid video game, right," Dan asks.
"Yeah. Okay, before you people get too involved in my personal life, here's some of the sequel! By the way, it takes place right before Mira and the others show up on Earth in episode 27. If you are not familiar with that, I suggest you look it up. Not trying to sound mean, but still."
"Okay, try to shoot the target," Marucho said. Dan pointed the staff at the target, which was about three hundred yards away, and squinted at the screen that popped up over the tip of the staff. He adjusted his aim just a little, and then braced himself.
"Pyrus Flame," he shouted. A line of fire shot out of the tip of the staff, followed by a huge rush of flames. It made the target incinerate immediately and then the net behind it caught fire again. The firefighters quickly controlled the blaze. Julie roller bladed in with a tray and set it down on a table.
"Lunch, guys," she said with a wink, blading away. Dan dove for the hot dog on the tray( Tee hee) and wolfed it down. Runo sighed.
"Must you make you make so much noise when you eat," she asked. Dan grinned, grabbing the glass of soda.
"Okay, Runo, your turn," Marucho said. Runo flicked her tail and pointed her baton at her target.
"Dawn Star, Light Breaker," she shouted. Several blades of light shot out of the baton and her free hand toward the target, slashing it to smithereens. Marucho and the others gaped while Dan blinked.
"That's a new one," he commented.
"That's your only comment? You can be such an idiot sometimes," Shun said. Dan shot him a glare and pointed the staff at him. Shun didn't seem fazed and jumped toward him. "You can't use that thing for close combat," he said.
"Watch me," Dan replied, smacking Shun's head with it. He groaned in pain and spread his wings, jumping into the air. Runo sighed. Then, the Pyrus emblem on the staff compacted to a diamond somehow and a blade shot out of the tip, curving to the right. Runo gasped as the staff shorted so that it was the size of her baton. He stopped attacking Shun, who flew away, and landed next to Runo.
"Well, that's interesting," he said, surveying the weapon and turning it over in his hands.
"You can now do close combat and I can now do long range combat. That's cool," she exclaimed. She held up her baton and the ring around the Haos symbol vanished. The Haos symbol's points sharpened and became like mini swords, attached to the little shape in the middle. She grinned and it sparkled. Dan jumped into the air and she spun around with it, causing a circle of golden light to spark to life around her. She laughed as she spun, making sparkles appear in the air around her. Then, she stopped but the circle of light around her kept spinning. She lifted her baton and the light formed a cone up to it, making all of the others shield their eyes. The sparkles' glow intensified, making them all turn away, still shielding their eyes.
The cone vanished into the baton and she swung it around, pointing at the target. "Shooting Haos," she shouted. The glow on the baton grew to a point that would blind a normal human, but Runo and Tigrerra both were able to withstand it. A thin line of light shot out of the baton. Despite its frail appearance, it delivered quite an effect on the target and all of the people in the room. The light was so intense that even Tigrerra had to close her eyes and turn away, shielding them with her hands. Only Runo could look at it without casualties. The target exploded and then caught fire, but the people on the sidelines couldn't put it out because they couldn't see the blaze. Runo held up a hand and the light was sucked in, letting everyone to see again.
The firefighters sprang into action and the blaze was out in seconds, no damage done to the walls or the floor because they were outside. "That was impressive, Runo," someone said. They all whirled around and Marucho's face lit up.
"Mira," Dan shouted.
"Hey stranger. Miss me?" she asked.
"How did you get here," Shun asked, landing near her.
"Alice's grandfather opened the gate and called Kato to come and pick me up," Mira explained. "I asked first that he keep it a secret so that I could surprise all of you! Oh, by the way, Alice is here, too!"
"No way! Alice," Runo cried as Alice came up behind Mira. He dropped her baton to give her friend from Russia a hug. Julie joined in, and then Mira was also being hugged by the three girl, who were giggling.
"It's been a while, Mira, Alice," Dan said, walking over. Mira grinned at him and the two shook hands. After the reunion, Kato called Marucho and told him that he was waiting with a surprise in the ballroom. Marucho led them there where they were greeted by a huge feast.
"This is in honor of Mira's visit, sir," Kato said. "Since she is such a good friend of yours, I decided to surprise you with this little party."
"Thank you very much, Kato," Marucho said with a grin.
"You're welcome, Master Marucho," Kato replied with a smile and bow.
"Well, in honor of Mira's visit, I formally propose a toast," Marucho said, picking up a glass of orange soda and lifting it. The others grabbed glasses, too, and also lifted them.
"To friendship," they all said(yes, I know that I am including parts of the actual episode, so, just to be safe, I do not own Bakugan or it's characters in any way. The only character that I made up is Jenny, the violent one who is currently residing with Klaus on Vestal).
When the Banquet was finished, Marucho led Mira to the room that she would be staying in for the time being. They all then joined each other in the room with the giant TV screen.
"So tell us Mira, why the sudden visit to Earth. And how did you get here in the first place," Shun asked.
"Do you know what happened after we ditched the Vexos in outer space," Runo asked.
"Sorry, I don't know about that part. But I can explain about what happened right after we returned to Vestal," Mira said. She explained and a few minutes later, Dan was biting his lip and Alice and Julie were glancing at each other worriedly.
"So we're gonna get called in again, huh," Dan said finally.
"It looks that way. But, like I said before, you won't be alone," Mira told him. "We're still the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance, and the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. We're a team, and we won't just let you and Runo go it alone."
"Thanks, Mira," Dan murmured with a grin. Runo smiled, too.
"Those Vexos are going down," she said. Then, Drago's diamond began to glow through his shirt.
"What's happening," he gasped. Wilda felt the burning sensation next and gasped. Next, Elfin and then Ingram.
"Guys, what's going on," Tigrerra asked, clutching her stomach as her diamond began to glow. Dan, Runo, and Shun all grimaced and fell to the floor with identical groans, as did Mira and Marucho.
They all found themselves in the center of a foggy place, which Dan, Runo, and Shun all immediately recognized.
"Are we in the center of New Vestroia," Dan asked.
"Yes, Dan," Masquerade said, walking forward through the mist.
"Masquerade! Hey, it's been awhile," Dan exclaimed. Masquerade looked grim and then the Six Ancients appeared behind him. Quickly, they explained that they had been defeated in battle by Kind Zenoheld. Mira and the others gasped, then noticed Barron and Ace standing a few feet away.
"Barron! Ace," Marucho said.
Then, the Six Ancients released a ray of light each, Apollonier's and Lars Lion's splitting in half and shooting toward Dan and Runo. They gasped in pain and then began to flash red and yellow. Then, cocoons formed around their bodies. The others gasped at them. New clothes appeared on both kids and then the cocoons broke, releasing them. Runo wore a white skirt that had armor curving up to her chest and another belly shirt with armor on the shoulders. On one shoulder the armor curved up and on the other it curved down. Her boots had wings made of light on them and her pigtails had a swirl of light curling around them.
On her head she had a golden tiara similar to Azula's from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Her belly hisrt was made of metal to give her the best protection in battle, and she also had a forearm guard on her right forearm.
Dan wore an outfit similar to Lync's, but red. The armor on his shoulders simply curved down, a cape secured by them. Below his neck was a metal attachment similar to the one that Mylene wore. His shoes were now made of metal and there were metal plates covering his knees. All around him, black ribbon like strands wove around, like around his arms and chest, as well as his legs. On his right forearm, a metal guard was gleaming. The two looked at themselves in shock, then turned their attention to Nemus, Percival, Elfin, Ingram, Drago, and Wilda. All of them had evolved!
"Whoa," Barron exclaimed.
"Remember brawlers, only you stand a chance against Zenoheld and the BT system," Exedra said.
"We're counting on you," Lars Lion whispered as the Ancients all disappeared into the fog. Masquerade remained.
"Dan," someone shouted. Dan gasped and his eyes opened.
"Oh man, it feels like I got hit by a truck," Dan muttered, sitting up. Runo whimpered sitting up also. Dan caught sight of her and gasped then looked down at himself. The outfits remained. He shot to his feet, catching sight of Marucho, Shun, and Mira all waking up around.
"That wasn't a dream," Runo exclaimed, looking up at Julie and Alice, who both looked startled as Masquerade's sudden appearance.
"Right. Just look at how we've changed," Drago said, popping out of his ball. Their eyes widened and then Tigrerra popped out of her ball, revealing a shape similar to a tiger, but now she had blades sticking up on her shoulders and her tail was a spiked ball on the tip. Wilda, Elfin and Ingram all popped out of their balls, too, revealing their evolved selves. Their eyes widened further and Dan turned.
"Some freaks never get the message. Looks like we're gonna be going out to fight sometime soon," Dan declared.
"Time to fight, huh? So I guess that means more training sessions, huh, Dan," Runo asked with a grin.
"You got that right, Runo. That goes for us as well as the rest of you. Marucho, do you think that you can organize training sessions," Dan asked.
"I think so, Dan. But, this is going to get risky. The Vexos already know our location because they transported themselves here before. They will just retrace their tracks from before," he said, pushing his glassed up his nose.
"Oh, I know how to erase their tracks," Alice spoke up. "But, I need special technology that Grandfather only has back at the lab. I'm not sure if you have it, so I'll be right back." Masquerade handed her the card and she vanished.
"Okay gang. Hopefully, after she comes back with the materials, we can cloak ourselves. Maybe I'll even be able to finish Bakugan Interspace," he whispered excitedly.
"What's that," Chan asked, coming around the corner.
"Nothing," Marucho said quickly.
"Julie, Shun, how about you guys go practice with the others for now? Marucho, you might wanna leave, too, because Runo and I are gonna try using some majorly destructive abilities," Dan said. "Tigrerra, Drago, you guys can stay. Besides, I wanna talk to you." They nodded while the others exchanged glances and shrugged, leaving.
"Okay guys. It looks like we're gonna be called out soon," Dan said. "We have to practice wide range attacks and shields. All of us."
"Okay," Runo replied, not caring for a moment that Dan was ordering her around.
"Hey, Runo, we're gonna fight our hardest, right," he asked, taking her hands. "We have to. We have to protect Earth, Vestroia, and Vestal. That's the prophecy, right?"
"Yes," she responded, blushing slightly.
"Alright then Runo, put up your long distance shield and go over by the helipad. I'll aim for you using the Pyrus Maneuver," Dan told her. "You have to maintain the shield over time. Tigrerra, can you help her out a little?"
"Of course," she said, changing into a semi-human. She gasped when she realized that now, what looked like blades coming from her shoulders were actually blade-shaped wings. She grinned and jumped up. They lifted her easily and she laughed. Runo smiled and jumped up after picking up her baton. The wings on her shoes enabled her to shoot upward quickly, joining Tigrerra above the helipad. She pointed her baton toward Dan and a bright shield appeared. It was slightly see through, enough so that Runo could see Dan point his staff at her. The shield was circular in shape and about twelve feet in diameter.
"Pyrus Flame, Burning Dragon," Dan and Drago shouted.
"Haos Protection," Runo and Tigrerra both shouted. The attack slammed into the shield with a loud clang, making Runo and Tigrerra gasped. Runo held the baton so tight that her knuckles were white and sweat was breaking out on her face from keeping the shield up.
"Valkyrie Barrier," Tigrerra shouted, lifting her hands, but it didn't do any good.
"Ventus Gale," Shun shouted, appearing behind them. Run gasped and let the shield down, dodging Shun's attack. Tigrerra shot up while she dove down, landing on the helipad. She pointed her staff at his grinning face.
"Dawn Star Light Breaker," Runo shouted. The small blades shot toward Shun, who had difficulty avoiding them to say the least. She smirked and took off toward him while Tigrerra dropped on him from behind. "Haos Flare Blinder," she shouted, pointing at his eyes. He yelled and covered his eyes with his hands while an insane light grew from the baton. Dan and Drago below were forced to shield their eyes also while Runo let the ball of light float there. She used the opportunity to fly away and dive into one of Marucho's open windows. Then, she held up a hand and the light returned to her. Tigrerra smiled at her and the two dashed to the door, yanked it open, and became face to face with a smirking Lync.
Runo screamed in shock, then pointed her weapon at him. Tigrerra growled and he smirked wider. Spectra and Gus stepped out from behind him and Runo did a double take. All of the Vexos were in the room with her! "Oh, shoot, dang it," Runo muttered, turning in a circle with the baton held in her hands. The two Baku-humans stood back to back in the center of a circle made of the Vexos. Runo bit her lip. This was by no means good.
And a cliffhanger. Evil me. Tee hee! No, BWAHAHAHAHA!
"Nice one, Breezyfeather," Mira praises. "I must admit that I like that chapter better than the first in the other story. Although both of them end in cliffhangers."
"That's so that people will want to read more. Plus, I kinda have to go to sleep now," Breezyfeather yawns.
"CAN YOU GIVE US ANY DARN DETAILS ABOUT THIS," Shun shouts.
"No, for the last time, you ninja moron," Breezyfeather yells back. Runo points her staff at him. He shuts up.
"Thank you. Now, if you'll give me a minute, I have to post this thing," Breezyfeather says. She scrolls down a page with her touch pad. "Oh yeah, you guys can go now," she says, pointing at the door which unlocks. Everyone rushes toward it, but then Dan and Shun are caught in chains again.
"Hey, I said no chaining me to the ceiling," Shun yells.
"Yeah, well I'm not chaining to you the ceiling! I'm chaining Dan to the ceiling. I'm chaining you to my wrist."
"Aw, come on! Why are you my eternal punishment? What did I do wrong?"
