Hey y'all welcome back to my story. Last time, we found out that Masquerade and Naga ambush Klaus Von Hertzon's parents home and forced them to legally arranged a marriage between their son and Ace Grit, one of the Bakugan brawlers resistance. We don't know why. Three years pass and we are in the new Vestoria saga where Klaus tells Ace that there are going to get married, when Ace eventually believing him after doubt and present with legit accurate evidence. However for Klaus, Alice is his girlfriend and he hasn't told her about his sudden engagement. Until now. How will Alice and the rest of the gang react? Tune in to this chapter right now. Bye. :)

Chapter 2: The Reaction, The Turn Around:

Klaus had a blank expression on as he walked to where the brawlers are expected to arrive at the front door of his mansion to discuss some things about their newly emerged war with Spectra. But deep inside, he was hella nervous. Alice would be here and he knew that he would have to be truthful to her sooner or later but he is afraid of how she would react.'What if she breaks up with me and finds me unfavorable?' Klaus thought to himself. Sirenoid senses her master's distress and tries to cheer him up."It would be alright master..remember now, I will always be with you no matter what." Klaus barley smilled and gave a curt nod. As kind as Sirenoid was to try to help him, it won't exactly work.

He reaches to a nearby mirror to fix his hair as the doorbell rang. He press a button on a remote and the door automatically opens. Klaus then whisperes,"Show time." Klaus walks out to greet the guest since his hair is fine and he puts away the golden comb he has in his hand. He sees the brawlers, Alice and..oh no, Ace. But he doesn't change his smirking expression."Greetings friends, I see that everyone is here. Yes?" Ace growled at the man."Oh whatever. Yeah, yeah. Everyone is here." Klaus walked over to Alice and kisses her hand.He did the same to Runo, Julie and Mira. In which that got Ace's reaction."Hey duuude!" Klaus smirks,"He's jealous master." Sirenoid whispers ever so quietly to him. Klaus chuckles,"Oh my boy. I'm just being a gentleman. Nothing to be jealous of." Ace growls even more at him.

'So goddamn annoying.' He says in his mind."I'm..I'm not jealous." He sputters out. Klaus shooked his head but said nothing more. For he knows how Ace actually feels about what he did to Mira. He knows that he has a crush on Mira but unfortunately he's taken. Dan stands straight and called out to Klaus,"So are we gonna talk or what?" Klaus nodded his head and tells the brawlers all he knows about Spectra so far."He lives in this deserted place where I don't know about so far. But what I do know is there is a dragon that was somehow revived and he and Spectra are working together to drain all the power from everyone's Bakugan. So battle wisely and watch your opponent's every move as much as possible. I wish I could help but I have my business to take care of as usual. Alice, Ace. May I talk to you two for a second?" The brawlers looked at him suspiciously.

Before Ace could say no, Alice said yes and grabbed him softly by the hand and dragged him along, following Klaus. The three went as far away as possible from the brawlers, out of earshot."I guess you want to know why I called you two over." Says Klaus stiffly. Alice nodded her head while Ace snorted."Duh pal, we're not Dora and boots who are so clueless. But go on..I don't trust you though." Alice glared at him for the disrespect but Ace grinned and shrugged his shoulders sheepishly. Klaus still had a stone blank expression on."Alice..I love you very much and what I'm about to tell is not my fault. Even I couldn't see this coming. Unfortunately, there is nothing either I or Ace could do about it." Alice and Ace both say together 'What do you mean?' Klaus looked down at the floor.

It took him a minute to regain his composure as he then says,"Me and Ace are in a arranged engagement, soon to be an arranged marriage in a couple of months. It's because of your split personality, Masquerade." Alice looked gloomy but smilled in understanding,"It's alright Klaus..I'm not mad and I apologize for my actions since Masquerade is apart of me but since this is all new to me and confusing..we are still together in a relationship but we have to take a break and spend as less time as possible romantically. Give me some time. Love you.." Alice ran back to the gang and told them the news when they ask her what happened.

Meanwhile, Ace already crossed his arms and smirks at the surprise Klaus."Now you lovebirds are in jeopardy. Sorry bud, you shouldn't have told her.." Klaus was still surprised for a minute but then closes his eyes with his stone blank expression again."Oh well..." He whispers as he walks away to his room, with Sirenoid in tow. Alice, meanwhile, was very upset. But surprisingly, it's not at either Klaus or Ace. It was at her now detached self, Masquerade. Yes he is still apart of her because he is her, but because of her now good grandfather's help she and Masquerade are now not in one body but in two bodies.

Alice kept on sobbing as Runo and Julie tried to comfort her."I really want to give Masquerade a piece of my mind!" Julie yelled in anger. Alice doesn't deserves this. Besides, Julie doesn't even believe Klaus that he can't do anything about it or that he was involved in any of Masquerade's schemes. But Julie, Klaus is telling the truth. He doesn't even like this either, neither does Ace of course. So don't point the finger at either of them, only Masquerade and the...reborn evil dragonoid.

Two hours later...

"So, we're getting eloped in a few months?" Klaus gave a Kurt nod. Ace growled and stubbornly turned away from him, disgusted. The two were silent for a minute before Ace sighed."Whatever. How did I get into this mess?" Klaus smirked,"You could say that again my friend. To be honest, I'm not fond of this either. But, unfortunately, we can't really stop this...I wish I knew how but I can't think of anything Ace, all of this is new to me." Ace stared at him in shock. Klaus actually looked really..sad. But not bursting into tears, thank god.

Ace then turned serious again."If we're going to be forcefully married, you have to agree to these terms. I'm only gonna say one right now, we are NOT going to be like those lovebirds in the group. Nuh huh, no way. Caprende?" Klaus smilled softly and gave a curt nod."Sirenoid, give our guest here the kiss of sleep." Ace's eyes went wide as he backed away slowly,"The kiss of what now?!" Sirenoid already sneaked around and kissed his cheek and Ace fell down asleep. Klaus laughed as Sirenoid went back to him."Wonderous job my beautiful Sirenoid." She blushed at the compliment."Thank you master.." She whispered. Klaus looked down at the sleep Ace and crouched down to him, laying a black rose near his face. He stood up and walked away as he says...

"The Kiss of Sleep."

I'm finally done. Even though that was in two days, it seemed like forever. Well, how do you guys like? I hope it's good. Please read and review and exc. not only this story but for all of my stories on this acc as much as you can. Thank you so much. Next time, we will see Ace waking up and having a fit about what Klaus did to him. We will then see what the brawlers are up to and a vist to Klaus by none other, the now separate human being Masquerade himself. See you there. ;)
