A/N: Once again I edited this (mostly this time for inconsistencies in the tense it was written in). But this time I'll be updating soon!

*Smiles apologetically for disappearing for months again* Read & Review Please! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own bakugan or Spectra's epic time-machine

Chapter 1

Spectra's POV

I'm walking along the halls of my ship. It's docked on Vestal for now since I no longer have a reason to use it. I make it a habit to check on it every now and then though, just in case I ever need it again.

It has been 5 months since New Vestroia and the bakugan termination system. Despite the time that has passed I still harbor a secret anger over the whole thing.

I was supposed to win. I should be King of Vestal and New Vestroia.

But I'm not.

No one can know how I feel though because I'm supposed to be a good guy.

Even though I changed sides it doesn't mean I have any less of a desire to rule. I just know when I'm beat and it was time to give up on the plan.

I'm a rather good actor. The brawlers have no idea I still despise Dan Kuso and hate the rest of them almost as intensely (with the exception of my sister, of course). Even Gus is fooled about my inclinations towards the brawlers.

"Gus, I'm leaving!" I yell since he's in the front of the ship inspecting the controls.

I kick something on my way to the door. It briefly skitters over the smooth floor and crashes into the wall.

I pick it up and it looks like a handheld game painted black and red.

I press a couple of buttons. I wonder how it got in here? I certainly never played with one and I'm almost positive Gus doesn't own one.

The screen lights up and shows an image of the former Vexos and the late Zenoheld.

It appears to be footage from the day Gus and I assisted the brawlers by taking them to the Palace to brawl. I'd also confronted Zenoheld prompting Gus to play hero and nearly get himself killed.

It's weird that someone would've been filming that day.

I look up and see I'm standing in front of a man who's supposed to be dead.

I'm reliving the past, literally.

"Yeah? Well should've stayed that way, traitor!" Mylene yells with fury.

If I'd forgotten any moment of this day I remember it now.

Everything is so real this can't be a dream. I feel the cool air (Zenoheld was always fussy about the temperature of his throne room), hear the clack sound the marble makes as I step forward.

Maybe I'm crazy or this is a realistic dream?

"What was that?" I ask aloud, to test the illusion for a response.

"You heard me! Get out of here, Spectra!" Mylene hisses and this time they must restrain her from attacking me.

It would actually be quite comical if I had a clue what was going on and the smirk I give infuriates her even more.

Zenoheld attempts to sit up straight in his throne to speak to me, but gives up halfway, "What do you want, boy? My patience grows thin."

"Well I hate to disappoint...but I think I'll just be going now," I say pressing, hopefully, the correct combination of buttons to return me to the present time so that I may better understand my situation before I test the boundaries of this.

"Gus!" I shout as soon as I'm back in the hallway of the ship, "Come here! I've got something to show you!"

"Yes, Keith!" he replies since he isn't allowed to call me Spectra anymore.

"Bring my mask too!" I add as an afterthought.

I have my suspicions as to what this is, but I need Gus to confirm them. If I've actually gone crazy instead, faithful Gus will take me to the nuthouse. Then again I've always been a bit mentally unstable...

"I've got the mask. What is it you wanted to show me?"

I grab the mask and put it on. Is it strange to say I've missed wearing it?

"This, Gus," I start and pause to show him the machine, "is the answer to everything."

"What is it?"

"It's a time-machine. With it we will correct the mistakes of the past and I shall take my rightful place as ruler. Are we clear?"

"Yes, Master Spectra. Shall we go?"

Before I can answer a female voice echoes down the hall, "Oh there you two are!"

Mira comes to a stop in front of us.

"It took me awhile to find you guys. Then someone told me I should try the ship. Anyway, I wanted to invite you both to dinner at my apartment tonight. Baron and Ace are coming too-"

"We'd love too," Gus says.

"Gus!" I hiss stomping on his foot.

"We can take over the world tomorrow, Master Spectra," Gus calls already loping down the hall after Mira.

"Well tonight's agenda: Maim Gus, then use my time-machine to rule the world. But first maim Gus." and with that I reluctantly follow them slipping the time-machine into my pocket.

A/N: Reviews make my day ;D
