Chapter 2
A/N: Second chapter guys! I hope you like this one. A big thank you to those who reviewed the last chapter! That really meant a lot. Anyway, I don't wanna bore you with this so once again, let's get going with the story!
Everyone settled down in the living room and Mira rushed to the kitchen to get them their drinks. After coming back and handing everyone a glass of lemonade, she took her seat next to Ace who wrapped an arm around her.
"It's good to see you again Drago." Helios said as he landed on the table.
Drago turned to look at the now darkus bakugan as he landed next to him. "Good to see you to Helios. I see you're a darkus bakugan now."
Helios nodded. "A bakugan may need to change its attribute in order to get stronger."
That made Drago chuckle and shake his head. "I see you haven't changed one bit my old friend."
Dan took a loud slurp from his drink and grinned at everyone. "So, mind introducing us to your new friend?"
Mira snapped out of her thoughts and turned her attention to the brunette. "Oh, sorry guys, this is Jade, a good friend of Gus. She's vestal's ex archery champion."She grinned at the brawlers and nodded. "Nice to finally meet you guys."
Dan shot her a smile. "Archery? Now that's cool! It's good to meet you too."
Julie looked from Gus to Jade, and then back to Gus. "So, you two are a couple?"
Gus gave her a look as Jade almost choked on her drink. Patting her back, he turned to look at the silver haired Australian. "No, we're good friends, but nothing more. Why?"
Julie blinked. "What, your girlfriend is someone else?"
Gus shook his head. "No…"
"You mean…"
"I don't have a girlfriend."
"You're into guys?"
Gus's eyes widened.
"Shut up!" Runo elbowed her in the side which made her wince. "What? Just asking!"
Ace laughed and wiped an imaginary tear from his eye with a finger. "Yow, guys, chill out! Julie, Gus is not a homo. Believe me, everyone on vestal knows that. He's just… not exactly after this kind of stuff."
"Oh."
Julie dropped her head. "Sorry Gus. Just got a little curious that's all."
"It's…ok I guess…" He said, still recovering from the embarrassment.
Mira pressed her hands together in front of her chest. "Ok guys, let's drop it. So Keith, mind telling us exactly why we're here?"
The blonde took a look around at everyone. Seeing that everybody was waiting for his response, he sighed. He took out a small silver cube from his pocket and pressed the dark blue button on it. A hologram appeared from the opening at the top and he held the device in a way so that everyone could clearly see it.
"Well, a few days ago, I received a video from an unknown source."
They all focused their eyes on the hologram. Seeing what the video was about, their eyes widened. Bakugan were everywhere, roaming the place and destroying whatever stood in their path. Few citizens were seen on the streets, but they were all clearly running to get away from the invaders. You could make out some figures on the shoulders of each bakugan which Dan and the others assumed were their brawlers, but from where the video was taken, it was impossible to tell who or what the attackers were.
"As you can all see, it looks like there's another war in which Bakugan are used as weaponry, but from my researches, there' no place like this on Vestal, earth, Gundalia, Nethia or new Vestroia."
He was right. The scenery was nothing that could be found on any of the planets or dimensions that they knew. Of course the architecture was something that every vestal was very familiar to. Giant skyscrapers, Buildings made from steel and the blue reflexive windows… everything was as if the video was taken from somewhere on the planet where the brawlers were currently on. There was one big difference though, the green sky. Yes, Vestal's sky was multicolored, but a plain green sky was something no vestal had ever seen on their planet.
Drago groaned as Dan clenched his fists. "Can't a couple of years just pass with bakugan not being in trouble?"
Marucho slid his glasses up further on his nose and shifted so he was facing the older blonde. "Any idea as to where this place may be?"
Spectra didn't take his eyes off the hologram but he shook his head. "Unfortunately, I haven't been able to track down the source of this yet. However, that's not the only reason I called you guys."
Alice had a puzzled expression on her face. "Huh?"
"Well, the other reason is this." Alice looked back to the hologram and everyone followed suit. The camera shifted to reveal a gray skinned man with pointy ears and purple hair. He had something that was very much akin to a golden crown on his head and his irises were like small green slits. That earned a gasp from Shun, Dan and Marucho. Spectra raised an eyebrow at the three. "You know this guy?"
Dan gritted his teeth and Shun's hands curled into fists as he closed his eyes. Marucho only froze in his place gaping. The brunette lowered his head to look at the floor not believing what he just saw. "But…that's Barodius!" Baron looked at the three clearly lost. "Um, who?" Shun frowned. "Gundalia's ex-ruler. But we saw him die as he flew to the sacred orb in Nethia! This is just impossible!"Drago answered from his spot. Everyone's eyes widened. But… how?
