HotXbun: Welcome to the semi final day of my three year anniversary extravaganza. And the fandom I am writing for is...Bakugan!
In case you haven't heard (but I'm pretty sure you have) Bakugan is getting a reboot!
But since it can be a long time before we actually get that, I have decided to write a fan fiction which is my take on it.
This will be inspired by the first series.
Each chapter will be an 'episode.' Each 'episode' will be in third person POV.
There will be 'Bakugan Extras' based on Avatar Extras from Avatar The Last Airbender. You 'should' read my Avatar The Last Airbender fan fiction 'Should Do This.' See what I did there?
At the end of chapter I will give you a challenge, but you don't have to do them.
Enough with this long author's note! On with the 'season!'
Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan or Avatar The Last Airbender.
Episode 1 The Battle Begins [Bakugan Extra: This 'episode' is named and inspired by the first episode of the original series.]
A camera turned on and in front of it was a teenage boy. [Bakugan Extra: As you see...I aged up the characters in this 'show.']
He was wearing a black vest; black jeans; black sneakers; a red, short sleeved over shirt with a black plaid pattern and a pocket on each side that was unbuttoned and red goggles with black lenses on his forehead.
"What's up", he said to the camera. "My name is Dan Kuso and I have decided to start this vlog to keep you updated on something totally cool. What is it? It is none other than this wicked game called...Bakugan!"
With that the boy (who was named Dan) took out a card and a ball shaped object.
"But before I tell you how to play this totally wicked game, I'm gonna tell you how we got it first. It happened about three months ago. At the start of summer."
Flashback
Dan was standing on his balcony when the sky got cloudy.
There was a loud clap of thunder...and then...it rained.
But it didn't rain rain. [Bakugan Extra: It didn't?]
It rained...cards. [Bakugan Extra: Cards?]
That's right! Cards!
Dan picked up one of the cards.
"What is this", he asked.
Suddenly...he was hit on the head! [Bakugan Extra: Ouch!]
"Ow", Dan said while he rubbed his head. "What was that?"
Dan saw something on the ground and picked it up.
It was a ball shaped object.
I loud clash of thunder caused Dan to drop the object onto a card.
And when he did...the object popped open.
Dan picked up the card and looked at the object...which was now magnetically stuck to it.
It now looked like a creature.
Dan pulled off the object and it turned back into a ball.
A smile creeped onto his face.
"Wicked", he stated.
End of Flashback
"And that is how we got the cards and game pieces", Dan said. "Afterwards a bunch of kids got together and used it to make a game we like to call...Bakugan. And you're looking at one of those kids! In fact...my friend and I were like the leaders when the game was being created!"
The door suddenly opened and a slightly older teenage boy walked in.
He was wearing a sleeveless, pale green, cross over kimono; black jeans; black boots and a black, ankle length, sleeveless, open jacket with a hoodie.
His long hair was tied into a ponytail.
"Speak of the devil", Dan said. "Shun, say hi to the world!"
"Hello world", the boy (named Shun) said as he sat down. "Is this the vlog you said you were going to make?"
"Yep", Dan replied. "And you're just in time to help me show my viewers how to actually play Bakugan."
"Alright then", Shun said as he took out his cards and game pieces. "I hope you're watching closely guys. 'Cause I'm about to whip Dan's butt!"
"Yeah", Dan said. "We'll see about that." [Bakugan Extra: It's about to go down!]
Dan and Shun were about to play...then this happened. [Bakugan Extra: No!]
"Daniel", a woman said as she walked into the room.
She was wearing a dark orange, short sleeved polo top that was buttoned up; dark blue jeans and white trainers.
Her hair was straight and loose.
"Mom", Dan whined (to the woman who was his mother). "I'm trying to do a vlog entry."
"What's a vlog", Dan's mom asked.
"It's a video blog", Dan replied. "Keep up with the times mom!" [Bakugan Extra: Oh no he didn't!]
Dan's mom gave him 'the look'...and turned off his computer. [Bakugan Extra: Don't tick off your parents kids. Or this will happen.]
"Mom", Dan whined.
"Don't 'mom' me young man", Dan's mom scolded. "School starts tomorrow and you need to get your sleep."
"Do I have to", Dan asked while whining.
"Yes you do", Dan's mom replied.
"Fine", Dan said giving in.
"Good boy", Dan's mom stated before kissing his forehead and leaving.
Dan turned to look at Shun.
"There's one up side to your mom being in the hospital", Dan stated. "She can't make you go to bed when you want to make a vlog."
"Yeah", Shun said. "My grandfather can do that for her."
With that Dan and Shun broke out laughing.
"How is your mom by the way", Dan asked.
Shun just shrugged.
"She says she's fine", he replied. "But I'm pretty sure she's just saying that so I won't worry. You know how she is."
Dan nodded.
"Well", Shun started as he stood up. "I'd better get home. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow", Dan greeted before Shun left.
Dan: If only we knew...that Bakugan was more than a game! And when we did discover this...things would never be the same again. [Bakugan Extra: That sounds...interesting.]
The Next Day
Dan and Shun walked up to the courtyard of their school, Wardington High.
The courtyard was made out of concrete. On the left side of the courtyard was a basketball court. On the right side was a bunch of silver, metal tables with light brown, wooden benches. By the back of the courtyard was a large, light brown, cube shaped building with many windows.
"Well", Shun started. "Let the new year begin!"
"Let's do it", Dan exclaimed.
With that Dan and Shun walked into the courtyard.
But while they were walking...Dan walked into someone.
"Hey", he said before seeing who he bumped into. "Oh. It's you Shuji." [Bakugan Extra: (Does spit take) Shuji!]
The boy (who was named Shuji) was wearing a white vest; dark blue jeans and black sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles.
"Well well well", he started. "If It isn't the twerp himself."
"And if it isn't the jerk bag himself."
"What did you call me", Shuji asked angrily.
"You heard me", Dan said boldly.
"That's it", Shuji yelled. "You. Me. Bakugan Battle."
Upon hearing this...everybody gasped.
"You're on", Dan replied.
The two were about to battle, when this happened.
"Will all students please make their way to the auditorium for a beginning of the year assembly." [Bakugan Extra: Dang it!]
"Not again", Dan yelled.
"This isn't over twerp", Shuji stated. "We'll continue this at lunch."
"I look forward to beating your butt", Dan stated.
With that Shuji glared at Dan before leaving.
"Well", Shun started. "School hasn't even started yet and you've already ticked off Shuji."
"Yep", Dan replied. "This is going to be an interesting year."
Dan: Oh it was an interesting year. Just not for the reason I expected.
The Afternoon
Shuji was waiting for Dan when a boy walked up to him.
He had shoulder length, platinum blonde hair with blood red streaks that was straight and loose; red eyes and very pale skin.
He was wearing a blood red vest; black jeans; red trainers with black markings and a dark purple, long sleeved leather jacket with a popped up collar.
"Hey", Shuji said. "Who are you?"
"The name's Marduk." [Bakugan Extra: Now you're probably asking yourself "Why is a villain from the video game here?" All shall be revealed in time.]
"That's a weird name", Shuji stated.
"Says the guy who's named sounds similar to sushi." [Bakugan Extra: Ohhhhhhhh!]
"Tushy", Shuji stated. "Anyway. What do you want?"
"For you to beat Dan", Marduk replied. "And I have something here that can help you with that." [Bakugan Extra: (gulps.)]
With that Marduk held up two cards.
"This one is called a Field Card", he revealed holding out said card. "At the beginning of the game, yell out 'Bakugan, field open!' Something cool will happen."
"What will happen", Shuji asked.
"I'll let you figure that out when you use it", Marduk replied causing Shuji to groan.
Marduk then held out another card.
"And this...is called a Doom Card. [Bakugan Extra: (gulps again) Doom Card?]
"Doom Card hey", Shuji said before grabbing said card. "What does it do?"
"Once again, I'll let you figure that out", Marduk replied. "Just make sure to play it after the Gate cards are set."
Shuji groaned again.
"And one more thing", Marduk said before putting a Bakugan into Shuji's hand.
"Thanks", Shuji said. "But I'll be using Subterra in this battle!"
"Just keep it with you", Marduk commanded. "After all, it's my good luck charm."
"Whatever you say."
What Marduk didn't know...is that he was being watched. [Bakugan Extra: Huh?]
...
A teenage boy and girl were watching Marduk on a screen.
The boy was wearing a white vest; dark blue jeans; orange sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles and an orange, short sleeved over shirt.
The girl was wearing a short sleeved, knee length dress with a white torso and red, lace layered skirt over black tights under black ankle boots with two buckles on each one and slight heels and black, wrist length, fingerless gloves.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon tied into a bow.
"Oh no", she said in dismay. "Marduk gave field and doom cards to a kid that's about to have a battle."
"We have to help his opponent", the boy stated before grabbing a Bakugan and a card. "Drago. Will you help him?" [Bakugan Extra: (does spit take) Drago?!]
Suddenly, the Bakugan popped open!
Then...it spoke!
"Don't worry", it said. "I'll help him."
With that the boy took the Bakugan to a white one.
"Wavern", he said to it. "Can you send Drago to that boy?" [Bakugan Extra: (does spit take again) Wavern?!]
Then...the white Bakugan (who was named Wavern) spoke too!
"Of course", she replied.
With that Wavern hit the Bakugan named Drago with a white light...and he disappeared!
...
Back at the school, Shuji and Dan were ready to battle.
"Ready to get pounded kid", the former asked.
"Nope", Dan replied. "I'm ready to win!"
"We'll see about that", Shuji stated.
The two were about to battle...when this happened.
"Look", a student yelled as he pointed to the sky.
Everybody looked up...and gasped.
A tiny meteor was flying through the sky...and it landed right in front of Dan!
"Dan", Shun yelled before running up to said person. "Are you okay?"
Dan didn't answer. He looked at where the meteor had landed.
It wasn't a meteor. It was a Bakugan and a card!
"Woah", Dan said as he picked up said items. "Totally freaky."
Suddenly...the Bakugan popped open by itself!
"Human", it started. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is..."
Drago didn't get to finish...because Dan threw him across the field!
"What was that", he asked Shun.
"No idea", said person replied.
With that Drago...started floating!
He floated back to Dan.
"Ahhh", Dan yelled before holding onto Shun. "It can float!"
"I'm a he", Drago stated. "And my name is Drago!"
"Drago", Dan said as he let go of Shun.
"I'll explain later", Drago said. "Right now we have a battle to win!"
"What battle", Dan asked.
"The battle against Shuji", Drago replied.
"Battle", Dan said in confusion. "Drago, it's just a game."
"Not anymore", Drago stated. "Just take the card that came with me, and say Bakugan, field open."
"Um", Dan said in confusion. "Okay. Bakugan, field open!"
When Dan said that...something strange happened.
An odd circle with weird symbols appeared on the battle field!
"Woah", Dan said in shock. "What's going on?"
Suddenly, everything was covered in a bright light!
When the light disappeared...everybody was now on a strange field.
"Woah", Dan said in awe. "What is this place?"
"This is the Bakugan playing field", Drago replied.
"Bakugan playing field", Dan asked in confusion.
"Yes", Drago replied.
"Dan", Shun yelled before pointing at his friend. "Look!"
With that Dan looked down...and gasped.
His outfit had changed!
He was now wearing a blood red, short sleeved v-neck; black jeans; black combat boots; a black, long sleeved, foot length, leather coat; black, fingerless, wrist length, leather gloves, his googles in reversed colors and a strange, blood red watch.
"Wow", Dan said in awe. "Sweet new threads. Look Shun."
With that Shun looked at himself...and gasped.
His outfit had also changed!
He was now wearing a black, long sleeved shirt under a pale green, sleeveless, zip up jacket with black pipping by the zipper and the kanji for 'wind' on the back of it; black jeans; knee length, black boots; black, fingerless gloves and the same watch as Dan just in pale green.
His ponytail had been tied into braids and he was wearing a thin headband with a pale green and white triangle pattern.
"Amazing", Shun said in awe.
Dan turned to look at Shuji...who was also wearing a new outfit.
"Woah" the latter said in awe. "What's going on?"
"A battle human."
Shuji looked to see who said that...and it was the Bakugan Marduk gave him!
"Woah", Shuji said in shock. "You can talk?"
"Yes", the Bakugan replied. "But we'll worry about that later. Right now, you have a battle to win!"
"I do" Shuji asked in confusion.
"Yes", the Bakugan replied. "Now. Get your gate card...and throw it while yelling Gate Card set."
"Okay", Shuji said before throwing a Gate Card. "Gate Card set!"
Something amazing happened when the card landed on the ground. It became massive!
"Woah", Dan said in awe. "That's one big card."
"You got that right", Shun stated.
"Now you must do the same thing human", Drago commanded.
"Oh", Dan said as he looked at Drago. "Got it! Gate Card set!"
With that Dan threw down his gate card.
"Now", Shuji's Bakugan started. "Drop the Doom Card while saying Doom card set."
"Got it", Shuji stated before dropping said card. "Doom Card set."
With that the Doom Card fell and got absorbed by the floor.
"I wonder what card Shuji just threw down", Dan asked.
"A very dangerous one", Drago stated.
"Why", Dan asked. "What does it do?"
"Let's hope you never have to find out." [Bakugan Extra: Why? What does it do?]
"Now throw your Bakugan human", Shuji's Bakugan commanded. "When you do, yell 'Bakugan brawl!' And when the Bakugan is on the card, yell Bakugan stand!"
"Got it", Shuji stated before throwing his Bakugan. "Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!"
When Shuji did this...another amazing thing happened. The Bakugan grew into a large creature.
"Woah", Dan said in shock. "What is that!"
"That human, is what a Bakugan looks like in it's true form." [Bakugan Extra: (does spit take) What?!]
"True form", Dan asked in confusion.
"I will explain later", Drago stated. "Right now we have a battle to win!"
"Got it", Dan stated before throwing a Bakugan. "Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!"
With that a Serpenoid appeared.
"Good", Drago stated. "Now use your Bakupod to see your G power."
"My Baku what", Dan asked.
"The watch you're wearing", Drago replied.
"Oh", Dan said before looking at his watch.
The screen suddenly turned on!
"Hello", a voice from the screen said. "Mantris At 270 Gs. Serpenoid at 320 Gs."
"Sweet", Dan said. "Serpenoid's stronger."
"Not for long", Shuji stated before looking at his Bakugan. "How do I get the gate card to work?"
"You must yell Gate Card open", the Bakugan replied.
"Got it", Shuji stated. "Gate Card open!"
With that the Gate Card opened and the terrain turned into a desert.
"Look at your Bakupod to see what has happened", Drago commanded before Dan did just that.
"Mantris power increase by 150 Gs."
"Now Mantris is stronger", Dan said in shock.
Mantris hit Serpenoid...and the latter was sucked into a big hole!
"Serpenoid", Dan yelled before looking at Drago. "Where'd he go?"
"To the Doom Dimension." [Bakugan Extra: The Doom Dimension?!]
"What's the Doom Dimension", Shun asked.
"Every Bakugan's worse nightmare", Drago stated. "Once you are stuck in the Doom Dimension, you can never return."
"What", Dan yelled in shock. "So Shuji just send Serpenoid to it's literal doom?"
"And there's nothing we can do about it", Shun added.
"I'm afraid so."
This made Dan angry.
"That's not right", he stated before he glared at Shuji. "You're going down!"
"We'll see about that", Shuji stated before throwing a Bakugan. "Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!"
With that a Terrorclaw appeared.
"My turn", Dan said before throwing a Bakugan. "Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!"
With that a Falconeer appeared.
"Terrrorclaw at 310 Gs. Falconeer at 280 Gs."
Shuji laughed at this.
"You think THAT can defeat me", he asked. "You're toast kid!"
With that Terrorclaw charged at Falconeer!
"Oh no you don't", Dan stated. "Gate Card open!"
With that the Gate Card opened.
"Falconeer power boost by 50 Gs. Falconeer now at 330 Gs. Terrorclaw still at 310 Gs."
"What", Shuji yelled in shock.
With that Falconeer took out Terrorclaw! [Bakugan Extra: Yes! One win Dan!]
"Yes", Dan yelled happily as Falconeer came back to him. "We did it!"
"Hey look", Shun said. "Shuji's Bakugan didn't get sent to the Doom Dimension."
"That's because the Doom Card only sends away the opponent's Bakugan", Drago revealed.
"Good", Dan stated. "I'm not as low as Shuji."
Drago looked at Dan.
Maybe he is the one. [Bakugan Extra: The one for what?]
Shuji looked angry at his lost.
"What happened", his Bakugan asked.
"Don't worry", Shuji commanded. "I'm not done yet. Gate Card set! Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!"
With that a Subterra Saurus appeared.
"A Saurus ha", Dan said. "Well then. I'm going to fight fire with fire! Or fire with earth in this case."
"Will you just throw", Shun asked annoyed.
"Fine Mr Bossy", Dan said before throwing a Bakugan. "Bakugan brawl! Pyrus Saurus stand!"
With that said Bakugan appeared.
"Subterra Saurus at 290 Gs. Pyrus Saurus at 280 Gs."
"How is his Saurus stronger than mine", Dan asked.
"No idea", Shun replied.
"This time you're mine", Shuji stated.
Suddenly, his Bakugan started charging towards Dan's!
"Quick Drago", Dan commanded. "How do I use an Ability Card?"
"Yell 'Ability Card activate' followed by the name of the ability", Drago replied.
"Got it", Dan stated. "Ability Card activate! Co relation of Subterra and Pyrus!"
"Pyrus Saurus increase of 100 Gs. Pyrus Saurus now at 380 Gs. Subterra Saurus at 290."
"Oh no", Shuji said in dismay.
With that Dan's Bakugan took out Shuji's! [Bakugan Extra: Doube yes! Two wins for Dan!]
"Alright", Dan said happily as he got his Bakugan back.
"Excellent job human", Drago praised. "Shuji only has one Bakugan left!"
"You got that right", Dan said excitedly. "Let's finish this!"
"You only have one more Bakugan human", Shuji's Bakugan said to him. "Make it count!"
"I don't plan on loosing anymore", Shuji stated. "Gate Card set! Bakugan brawl!"
With that Mantris appeared again.
"Let's Do this one more time Falconeer", Dan said. "Bakugan brawl! Falconeer stand!"
With that Falconeer appeared.
"Mantris at 270 Gs. Falconeer at 330 Gs."
"What are you doing human", Shuji's Bakugan asked him. "Your Bakugan is weaker!"
"Not for long", Shuji stated. "Gate Card open!"
With that the Gate Card opened and Mantris's power increased.
"Now for the Ability Card", Shuji said. "Ability Card activate! Slice Cutter!"
With that Slice Cutter decreased Falconeer's power!
"Mantris At 300 Gs. Falconeer at 280 Gs." [Bakugan Extra: Ahhhh!]
"Oh no", Dan yelled.
With that Mantris charged at Falconeer!
"Oh no you don't", Dan stated. "Ability Card activate! Frame Fire!"
With that Shuji's Gate Card got cancelled!
"Gate Card canceled. Mantris back at 270 Gs. Falconeer remains at 280 Gs."
"Just enough", Dan said to himself. "Finish this Falconeer!"
With that Falconeer charged at Mantris...and defeated him!
"No", Shuji yelled.
"Yes", Dan said as he hugged Shun. "We did it!"
With that the battle field disappeared and everybody was back in the school yard!
Their clothes had also returned back to normal.
"We're back", Dan said.
"Indeed we are", Shun said.
Shuji's Bakugan glared at him.
"You're useless", he stated before leaving.
Dan looked at Drago.
"Hey Drago", the former started. "I'm glad that we won and all, but can you tell me what on earth is going on?!"
"Well actually", Drago started. "What's going isn't happening on earth. It's happening in another dimension."
"What?!"
That Afternoon
Dan and Shun were in the former's room with Drago.
"Okay Drago", Dan started. "Please tell me what's going on!"
"Well you see", Drago started. "Bakugan are not toys! They are living creatures from another dimension."
"And what is this other dimension", Shun asked.
"It is known as Vestroia."
"Vestroia", Dan said in confusion. "I've never heard of it."
"No human has", Drago revealed. "It use to be a peaceful place. Until one day, when a power hungry Bakugan named Naga stole the Silent Core."
"What's the Silent Core", Shun asked.
"It is the source of all negative energy", Drago revealed. "Taking it has caused Vestroia to start collapsing. If nothing is done about it...Vestroia will be destroyed."
"That's awful", Shun stated. "How can we help?"
"We", Dan asked.
"Come on Dan", Shun pleaded. "Drago came to you for a reason."
Dan turned to face Drago.
"Why did you come to me", Dan asked.
"I originally just came to help you defeat Shuji", Drago revealed. "But after seeing you battle...I would like you to become my partner." [Bakugan Extra: (does spit take) What?!]
"Wait", Dan started. "You want me to be your partner? But why?"
"Because you battle with a fiery strength and determination", Drago stated. "And that is what I am looking for in a partner. So, what do you say?"
"Let me talk about it with my friend", Dan replied before looking at Shun. "So, what do you think?"
"It may be dangerous", Shun pointed out. "But a whole dimension of living creatures is in trouble! We have to do something!"
Dan nodded before looking at Drago.
"Okay", the former said. "I'm in." [Bakugan Extra: Yay!]
Drago looked happy at this.
"And I will help too", Shun added.
"You will", Drago asked in shock. "Why?"
"Because it's the right thing to do." [Bakugan Extra: Aww!]
Drago once again looked happy at this.
"And you know what", Dan asked. "We may just know somebody else that can help."
...
Dan here! And coming up on the next Bakugan, Protecters of the Core. Shun and I ask our friend to help us out. But when she finds out that a boy at school is holding a Bakugan tournament, and won't let girls enter, she sets out to prove him wrong. How does she do that? You're just going to have to wait and see. That's coming up on the next Bakugan, Protecters of the Core! See you there!
HotXbun: And...done! Phew! Finally! You have no idea how long it took me to write that.
Challenge: Tell me who you think Dan was talking about in the next time.
My Answer: I'll give you a hint. It's one of the original main female characters.
