Bakugan: The Awakening
A/N: I don't own Bakugan, except for my OC Cole Bravo and his partner :) .
Chapter 1: Introductions
My name is Cole Bravo. I am 14 years old; I've just finished my first year in middle school. Something strange happened recently that changed my life.
I was one of the people there when cards started falling from the sky. Kids around the world, especially in Wardington city, tried to collect as many as we could until our parents called us back. I, like many other kids, picked up a card and become a brawler.
We discovered that these cards appeared to be more than meets the eye. These marble-like balls started popping out of the cards. Most people just considered it a great idea to make a game using these cards and marbles. The game became known as: Bakugan.
The cards had a amazing power packed inside them; one that allowed people to be transported to another dimension. This is where Bakugan became more… interesting. The marbles, once thrown onto the cards, transformed into magnificent creatures. The battles were invigorating, and if you made one mistake, your bakugan would be defeated.
Me and many other kids on that day dedicated ourselves towards the fulfillment of one goal; to become the best brawler ever. When the rules were created, that's when my fight really began. My goal; to become the best brawler. And there will be no giving up until I achieve my goal!
Wardington city, Present
A yawn came from a boy's mouth as he was sitting in his desk, tapping on his desk, impatiently waiting for the school bell to ring so that he could get to doing more exciting stuff. He wore a black hoodie that seemed to turn dark blue at the edge of its sleeves, black sweat pants that had silver stripes on the sides, along with black and blue shoes. On his wrist was a chrome-black watch-like item, and clipped to his side was a purple clip device holding three black and purple ball securely inside.
"Cole Bravo? Cole Bravo?"
Cole Bravo perked up his head, his dark brown slightly curling hair rustling a bit. Adjusting his glasses on his nose, he blinked his brown eyes a bit before focusing them on the teacher who was trying to get his attention.
"Are you even paying attention to me right now?" Mrs. Prebyjeski asked him. "I was asking you what the answer is to this problem on the board."
Cole looked at the board for a moment, then turned his attention back to the teacher.
He started, "It's quite simple. The answer is-"
"RRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!" The school bells loudly interrupted.
Cole smiled at the teacher, then ran out of the classroom before she could call him back. He didn't even stop running till he was off campus, then he remembered what he was suppose to do after school.
"Dang it, I almost forgot what I was suppose this afternoon," Cole said. "Ah, Tae-kwon-doe can wait a little bit. I'll just go to the park to relax." He then proceeded to run to the park.
When Cole arrived at the park, he heard someone causing quite a commotion. Cole was interested, so he decided to investigate. It turns out the person who was making all this noise was a kid wearing a red jacket, standing near the grand water fountain. As he got closer, he said to everyone in the park, "Hey. I'm Dan Kuso, and I'm looking for one last person to brawl with before I have to hit the hay. Any challengers?"
"I'll take you on, Dan Kuso," Cole said confidently, slowly approaching Dan. The crowd surrounding Dan sparsed out, making room for a clear path to him. Now that Cole had a clear view of Dan, he took a closer look at him. Dan had a red jacket that had its sleeves stop midway up the arm. Underneath was a plain yellow undershirt. His pants were red with his pockets being black. Finally, he had black tennis shoes.
"So kid, what's your name?" Dan asked mockingly.
"My name is Cole Bravo, and I accept your challenge. I am a darkus brawler, so be ready for an intense battle. Are you ready to brawl, Dan?" Cole said while taking his Gate card out of his pocket.
"I accept your challenge, but be prepared to get your butt whooped!" Dan responded, pulling out his Gate card.
"Bakugan Field Open!"
The six attribute symbols shimmered and appeared around the two players, then a bright light appeared as time stopped around them, transporting the two brawlers to a battlefield."
"Gate card set!"
Cole and Dan threw their two gate cards onto the field, and they expanded in a flash of red and purple. Cole took the first move, and pulled out the second in his clip.
"Bakugan brawl" he shouted, tossing the ball onto the field. "Bakugan Stand! Rise up to fight, Darkus Robotallion!"
The robotic bakugan rose up, bracing itself as it roared a battle cry.
"Darkus Robotallion enters battle with 330 G's," Cole's bakupod said. "No further data available."
"Not a bad throw, but I can show you better," Dan said, pulling a red/gold bakugan from his clip. He wound his arm up and threw it toward Cole's Robotallion, shouting, "Bakugan Brawl!"
The bakugan he threw speed quickly torward Cole's card, and popped open.
"Bakugan Stand! Go, Pyrus Saurus!"
A red dinosaur rose up from the card, roaring loudly and flexing his muscles.
"Pyrus Saurus enters battle with 350 G's," Dan's bakupod said. "Battle commence."
"You ready, Ability Activate!" Dan said, holding a glowing card out. "Saurus Glow!"
Saurus' body started glowing with a red brightness as the ability card increased its power level.
"Saurus power level increased to 400 G's. Robotallion remains at 330 g's."
"Time to counter it, Ability card Activate!" Cole said. "Robotallion Enforcement v2!"
Robotallion roared out a battle cry as dark energy was absorbed into his armor, then fired a blast of energy from its chest.
"Robotallion's power level increased to 430 g's. Saurus remains at 400 G's."
"Ability Activate! Fire wall!"
A red twister surrounded Saurus, stopping the energy blast and nullifying the ability.
"Robotallion's power level reduced to 280 g's. Saurus' power level increased to 450 G's."
"I have more than enough power to win. Go get 'em, Saurus!" Dan shouted.
Saurus charged at Robotallion full speed, the shoulder leading the charge.
"Not on my watch Dan," Cole said. "Gate card Open! G-power exchange!"
"Say what?" Dan said.
"G-power of both bakugan being swapped. Robotallion's power now at 450 g's, while Saurus' power has been reduced to 280 g's."
"Take him to town, buddy" Cole said excitedly.
Robotallion stood up and ran straight for Saurus, who was losing speed in his charge. He got up to Saurus and gave him a powerful punch, making the dinosaur fall and return to it's ball form.
"No way! What happened?" Dan said, confusion on his face.
"Its quite simple, Dan" Cole said, explaining what just happened. "That Gate card has the unique effect of swapping the power of two bakugan battling each other."
"Well, its my turn again, so Gate card set!" Dan said, throwing his next card onto the field. He pulled another bakugan from his clip and shouted, "Bakugan Brawl!" before throwing it onto his gate card. It landed, poping open to reveal it's warrior form.
"Bakugan Stand! Go, Pyrus Mantris!"
The giant bug bakugan appeared on Dan's card, causing Cole to shudder at the sight of it.
"Dang it," Cole thought. "First its small bugs that bother me during the day, and now this thing. Ow come on, just give me a break!"
"Pyrus Mantris enters battle at 340 g's," Dan's bakupod said. "No further data available."
"First of all, gate card set!" Cole said, throwing another card onto the field. Grabbing another bakugan from his clip, he said, "Time to bring in the exterminator. Bakugan Brawl!" He threw the bakugan onto his own field.
"Bakugan stand! Rise Darkus Siege!" Cole said.
A knight in black armor stood up from the card, raising its spear and roaring a battle cry.
"Darkus Siege enters battle with 350 g's. No further data available" Cole's bakupod said.
"Hey, are you afraid to face me on my own card!" Dan said mockingly.
"No, because I know that you're just going to pull my bakugan over to your card" Cole responded
"Your right about that. Ability card activate!" Dan said as he pulled out another card. "Marrionete!"
Mantris pressed his long claws together and generated red beams which grappled onto Siege and pulled him over to his card.
"Now, Ability card Activate! Twin Machete!" Dan shouted into his bakupod."
Mantris' claws started glowing bright red, boosting its power level over Siege'.
"Mantris' power level increased to 440 G's."
"I counter with this ability card, Shadow Lancer!" Cole responded.
Purple energy swirled around Siege' spear, making it much more menacing.
"Siege's power increased to 390 g's. Mantris' power reduced to 410 g's."
"Ha, I win with this card, Gate card Open!" Dan yelled. The card flashed, suggesting that it was a pyrus normal card.
"Mantris' power increased to 510 g's. Siege remains at 390 g's."
"Take him down, Mantis!" Dan said.
"Not so fast Dan. I have a counter," Cole said, a smirk on his face."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Here it is Dan," Cole said. "Ability Card Activate! An Eye for an Eye!"
"I've never heard of that card before" Dan stated.
"This card allows me to negate all g-power boost that have happened this battle" Cole said. "However, it comes at a price. I have to move two bakugan of mine to the "lose" pile."
"That's a pretty big risk your playing" Dan said.
"Maybe it is, but this time it will pay off." Cole said
Suddenly the last bakugan Dan had in his clip popped out and sat on his shoulder. "Dan, what is this human doing with his bakugan?" It said.
"Hey Drago, what got you to come out?" Dan asked.
"Well, I noticed that you have already lost a battle against this human, and he is about to do it again."
"I can't figure out his strategy; he counters every move that I do. To top it off, he just used an ability that lets you reset the field at the cost of two bakugan," Dan said.
"Hmph. Interesting ability. Oh, and Dan, you might want to look at the field again"
"Okay, what's so important that I have to- "
"Field reset. Siege returned to base power at 350 g's. Mantris returned to base power at 340 g's.
"Exterminate this bug, Siege," Cole said with pleasure.
With a nod of approval, Siege threw his spear at Mantris, causing it to fall down and return to ball form. Siege followed suite.
"Sweet, a 2-0, I am liking these odds" Cole said triumphantly, catching his bakugan.
"Hey Drago, it looks like I'm going to need your help to win this," Dan said to his bakugan. "Are you ready?
"Let's do this partner!" Drago said, turning back into his ball form.
"Why is he talking to his bakugan?" Cole thought curiously. "Ow well. Can't think about that right now."
"Gate card Set!" Dan said as he threw down his gate card.
"Bakugan Brawl!" He said as he threw his bakugan at his new card. "Bakugan Stand! Go, pyrus Dragonoid!"
The red ball opened, summoning a great fire tornado on the card. From the tornado came a red and gold dragon.
"I am pyrus Dragonoid" He said, spreading out his wings.
"Pyrus Dragonoid enters battle at 350 g's," Dan's bakupod said. "No further data available."
"You want it, here it comes," Cole said as he took out Siege from the clip. "Bakugan Brawl!" He said as he threw it onto Dan's gate card."
"Bakugan Stand! Rise Darkus Siege!"
The black knight popped out of the card, returning in black armor, sharp spear, and a ferocious battle cry.
"Darkus Siege enters battle at 350 g's." Cole's bakupod said. "Power tied, battle commence."
"Ability Card Activate!" Dan said.
"Boosted Dragon!" Drago finished, launching a big fireball at Siege.
"Ability card Activate! Double Dimension!" Cole said, throwing the card at the fireball. The card shattered, but its remains neutralized the fireball.
"Okay, how about this, Gate card Open, Character card!" Dan said.
"Easily countered, Ability Activate, Dimension 4!" Cole replied.
"Ow come on!" Dan said as he saw both his ability card and gate card destroyed.
"Effects of Boosted Dragon and Character card have been negated. Battle still tied," Dan's bakupod said.
"Since we have both run out of ability cards to use, this match is a draw," Cole stated.
Siege and Drago let out a mighty shout and charged at each other. They both injured each other to the point where they both turned back to their ball forms. Cole and Dan both caught their respective bakugan before the field recognized that the battle was finished. It then unfroze time in the human world and transported them back.
The light died down, revealing two smiling boys.
"Darn it all, I almost beat you!" Cole said
"Heck yeah, that was amazing!" Dan said gladly. "You're not half bad."
"The battle would have turned out in my favor, were it not for the fact that you have a dragonoid!" Cole said panting.
"Who? Oh you mean Drago here," Dan said as the dragonoid floated up onto his shoulder and popped open.
"You had good tactics, but your skills are a bit lacking," Drago said, making Cole do a double take.
"Hold the phone, he can talk!" Cole said, a bit surprised.
"Yep, that's right," Dan said happily. "He came to me during my battle with Shuji few weeks ago and saved my bacon! We have been partners ever since that day."
"It is true that while we have had some disagreements with each other, our bond has stayed strong," Drago said, looking at Dan. "Don't know where we be without each other."
"Ah stop it man, your making me blush!" Dan joked, rubing the back of his head with his hand and smiling. Cole smiled and checked his bakupod.
"Mother trucker, I'm going to be late to Tae-kwon-doe!" Cole sweared, then looked at Dan. "Uh, sorry about that, but I need to go now!"
"Don't sweat it man, I'll see you another time" Dan said.
"Thanks for the battle, see you later!" Cole said, running out of the park to get to his dojo for training.
"Man, I wish I had my own talking bakugan," Cole thought to himself.
Later that night….
Cole was ready to call it a day, for he was tired and had done a two-hour class of Tae-kwon-doe. He turned off his light and dropped onto his bed, feeling a little jealous of the apparent bond between Dan and his dragonoid. He quickly drifted off into sleep, unaware that his wish for a talking bakugan would come true.
Later that night, a dimension rift was opened in the air, and a black and purple ball fell from it. It picked up speed very quickly and fell in the direction of Cole's house. However, this speed was detrimental to this bakugan's plan. For instead of stopping right in front of the window, he smashed through. He ended up coming to a stop on the desk right next to Cole's bed.
Smoking a bit, he rolled on his sides to cool off the remaining flames on his body, then opened up. He was still in ball form, but he resembled a bipedal dragon with green eyes and one forward pointing horn on it's head. It's tail was small but average length, and his wings were draconic-like.
"Well, this looks like the right place," the bakugan said, floating up in the air to look at it's surroundings.
Looking to it's side, it noticed a bunch of black bakugan in a pile.
"I wonder how he'll react to me, and the fact that I broke his window?" The bakugan said, letting out a yawn before closing up and sleeping.

Well, this is the first fan fiction that I have written. I'm trying to get a feeling to making a good story.
Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you reviewed this story. Constructive criticism is really appreciated here.
