Chapter 2
After cleaning up the kitchen Jet headed up the stairs, sparing a glance at the nasty weather outside. Then she shrugged. For school to have been cancelled, giving the students an extra week onto winter break, the weather would've had to be vicious.
It was all in her best favor though, it allowed for her to spend more time with Viki, and Mike and Tyler would be coming up soon to join them as well. Oh the fun they'd have!
Smiling to herself Jet climbed the last few stairs and made her way down the hall to her bedroom. When she reached it she paused, raising an eyebrow. Her door was closed. Frowning she reached out and grasped the handle rattling it as she tried to get it to turn. She let out a groan. Viki must've decided to help herself to Jet's now clean room, and lock Jet out. Jet sighed and was about to walk away when she heard laughter on the other side.
Eyebrows furrowing Jet paused and stilled listening hard, and yes! There was the faint sound of familiar voices conversing, along with Viki's.
Scowling Jet raised her fist and banged on her door, a little harder than necessary, while shouting. "Viki!"
"Who is it?" Viki asked in a sing-song voice. Jet could picture her friend sitting on her bed, with her laptop on her lap, talking to their brawling friends online with it, while she was stuck outside of her own room.
"Viki let me in." Jet said struggling to keep her voice calm.
"Hmm," There was a pause. "No, you called Spectra inferior."
"VIKI!" Jet shouted banging harder on the door. "hat's my room you're in! Mine! Not yours! So cut the crap and let me in!"
"Then you have to admit that Spectra is superior to Masquerade." Viki said simply.
"What! No way! I-I I challenge you to a bakugan brawl!" Jet yelled trying desperately to come up with a different way to get in then admit that Spectra was superior to Masquerade (which was so not true), a bakugan brawl seemed like the only other possible choice. No matter how freaking lame it sounded.
"Hmm… Be kind of hard to brawl, I mean since your bakugan and cards are in here as well." Jet let out a snarl of anger and slammed her fist against the door.
"Oh come on Viki! Just let me in…Please?"
"Nope, not until you admit that Masquerade's inferior and Spectra is superior." Viki replied apparently having decided to start using that oh so annoying sing-song voice again. Jet pounded on the door a couple more times before she stopped and glared at the door.
"Fine! I'll just get on the Internet by using my sister's computer." She said turning on her heel. She walked away heading towards the master bedroom at the front of the house but not before she shouted over her shoulder. "And Masquerade is still superior!"
"Master are you sure about this?" Hydranoid asked as he watched his master, whose focus was directed at the glowing computer screen in front of him. The light reflected off his mask causing it to glint in an evil way.
"Completely, this is the perfect why to keep the pests busy while we find the infinity core." Masquerade replied not turning his head away from the screen. Hydranoid shifted slightly, he was still a bit unsure of the idea.
"But, surely there are other capable battlers here that could-"
"And then the brawlers will just go on the brawling site and use the data that is listed about the battlers there to devise a strategy to defeat the battlers we throw at them." Masquerade turned to face Hydranoid. "However, if we bring battlers from another world that has great skill in brawling, the brawlers will have no idea what hit them or should I say, who hit them." He chuckled at the thought, returning to look back at the computer. Hydranoid was silent for a minute.
"But, Masquerade, how did you develop such an idea?" Masquerade smirked and turned his head to look smugly at Hydranoid.
"Well, after Naga told me that Vestroia was once a whole world, and then there was an incident that caused the cores to split apart and the world to become 6 attribute worlds. While this was the birth of the white ones, it was also a time of which many Bakugan disappeared from the 6 worlds entirely. Which brought me to the question," Masquerade turned back to the screen. "Where did the other Bakugan go?" Had Hydranoid had eyes they would've bugged out of his head.
"To other dimensions!" Hydranoid said with a gasp. Masquerade nodded in agreement.
"After coming to this conclusion I decided I'd try to use the computer to find the other dimensions." He smirked as he leaned back in his chair and gestured to the computer. "After a bit of experimentation, I found that if I slid the dimension transporter into the disk drive." He glanced sideways at Hydranoid. "Don't tell that to Hal-G, but by doing so I found that I was able to hook up to another dimension's Internet." Hydranoid gaped at his master.
"You're joking!" He said jumping up and down, while Masquerade just shook his head and gestured to the computer screen.
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself." Hydranoid waddled closer to the keyboard and craned his neck back to look at the screen.
On the screen it showed a site that seemed very similar to the brawlers site, it had a list of who was the best brawler, the newest bakugan that were now out, and a couple of chatrooms. One chatroom was locked by the members who were chatting in there.
"I-I don't believe it!" Hydranoid turned back around to face Masquerade who was leaning back in his chair, arms folded across his chest, a smug smirk plastered on his face. "So you are telling me, that-that this site is an Internet site from another dimension?" Masquerade nodded in response.
"Yes," He tilted his head slightly to the side. "Sadly, it appears that the only people who are currently chatting on this site, are in the chatroom that is locked at the moment." Hydranoid leaned forward toward the screen studying the list. He spotted another chatroom that had one occupant.
"Wait master, it says that there is someone in a different chatroom as well and it appears that this one is unlocked." Masquerade frowned slightly and scrolled down a little lower. Then he smirked as he saw that Hydranoid was right.
"Well, I guess we better go and see if they are willing to have a chat with us." Masquerade said as he opened the chatroom to reveal one lonely message on the chat.
DarkusJet - Hey! Whats the deal locking me out! I HAVE FEELINGS TOO YOU KNOW!
Hydranoid turned to Masquerade.
"It would appear that this user knows the users who are in the other chatrooms and is angry about being locked out." Beneath the mask Masquerade rolled his eyes. He turned his attention back to the computer.
"I think we ought to send our lonely friend a reply."
"I don't believe this!" Jet muttered glaring at the computer screen, Her fists clenched and she gritted her teeth in anger. "First my room, and then she locks me out of the chatroom as well! Jeez what's next-" She was cut off in the middle of her rant when a little beep sounded from her sister's computer informing Jet that her message had received a reply. Jet turned back around to glare at the screen. "Finally the jerks reply so I can-huh?"
Darkusmaster - why did ur friends lock u out?
Jet raised an eyebrow, at the reply. She was slightly taken aback that someone (besides her friends for whom the message had been intended) had replied to her message. Then she shrugged, at least it meant that she wasn't going to have to sit around bored for the rest of the day until Viki forgave her and came out of her room. She typed up a quick reply and clicked send.
DarkusJet - They're being jerks because I made fun of one of my friend's favorite characters.
Jet sat back and waited for a reply, to her surprise it came a lot quicker than she'd expected.
Darkusmaster - that seems a bit harsh.
Jet smirked, finally someone who agreed with her.
DarkusJet - It is, also she locked me out of my bedroom too and she's now using MY laptop.
After she sent it Jet wondered if maybe she shouldn't have made her message sound so angry, and that the other person, would probably not want to hear about her troubles.
"I probably chased him off." Jet muttered letting out a groan. However despite her worries a reply appeared just a few short seconds later.
Darkusmaster - do you and your friend play bakugan.
Jet rolled her eyes. 'Really?' Nonetheless she still typed out a reply.
DarkusJet - No duh, and if you ask me what attribute I am, I'll kick your ass.
Jet sighed, now if her last message hadn't chased her, him, them, (she was never sure on the goddamn internet) off this surely would. However to her fortune, another reply appeared.
Darkusmaster - are you sure about that?
Jet growled a little, was this guy challenging her? She was guessing guy; he just seemed, like such a guy. She tended to favor believing everyone she met was female versus male. She ought to try and mix it up a bit.
DarkusJet - Hmph! Of course I'm sure! If you come over here, I'd do it without breaking a sweat.
Darkusmaster - I meant in a brawl.
Jet snorted, "Who does this guy think he is? Masquerade?" She thought as she typed up her reply.
DarkusJet - Of course, I'm one of the best darkus brawlers there is!
Darkusmaster - really now. If we were to brawl, and I tossed out a Hydranoid with a power level of 400 G's what would you do?
Jet narrowed her eyes and racked her brain, was this guy testing her? Whatever she'd rise to his challenge and beat him at it.
DarkusJet - I'd counter with a Hydranoid of my own, 400G's
Jet wasn't sure what series this guy was using for a template, but she decided it would be best to have them start out tied and wait and see what he did.
Darkusmaster - If I were to activate the ability card chaos of the darkness what would you do?
Jet snorted that was so easy!
DarkusJet - I'd hit you with double dimension!
Darkusmaster - not a bad move, but we're still tied.
Jet groaned, he did have a point, and besides Hydranoid's evolutions Hydranoid was the most powerful Darkus Bakugan from season 1. Which considering the classic ability utilized, appeared to be what this guy seemed to be pulling from.
Darkusmaster - if I were to open the gate card what would you do?
DarkusJet - Look I came to chat online not to discuss battle strategies, but if you were to open the gate card, I'd activate dimension 4 and activate the fusion ability knock off.
Darkusmaster - knock off?
DarkusJet - dude where have you been for the last year, under a rock? Knock off takes out your opponent's Bakugan if their g power is equal or less than my Bakugan.
Jet felt a smirk creep onto her lips, but she had to admit this guy was good- "Wait a second!" jet thought "He never said how high his g power was raised by the effects of the ability card or gatecard….It's-It's as if he knew I was going to use double dimension and dimension 4." She narrowed her eyes. "Who is this guy?"
Darkusmaster - I see, I'm impressed; you definitely are a skilled brawler.
Jet smiled a little at the response, trying to suppress the warmth of pride gathering in her chest.
DarkusJet - eh it was nothin' but aren't you glad that I can't beat you for real? You'd be toast.
Darkusmaster - I wouldn't be so sure about that DarkusJet. But, I do hope we have the chance to talk again another time. Unfortunately I have to go.
DarkusJet – Oh, okay… BYE!
Jet leaned back in her chair and rested her arms behind her head, a goofy smile on her face. After chatting with darkusmaster her anger had been quelled, and she felt content. Someone had noticed how skilled she was, and it made her happy.
She then glanced at her watch and sighed. 7:10. "Time for dinner." She murmured. She rose from her chair clicked off the computer and walked downstairs. When she was at the bottom of the stairs she called up to the floor above.
"Viki! It's dinner time!" Jet smirked as her friend burst out of her bedroom and raced down the stairs. Viki tackled Jet and wrapped her arms around her in a bonecrushing hug.
"Oh, Jet! I'm sorry I let our argument get in the way of our friendship! Can you ever forgive me?" She let go of Jet and took a step back her face somewhat downcast. Jet smiled and wrapped an arm over her friends shoulder.
"Hey, we're BFFL remember? Sides, this being our first time meeting face to face, I don't plan on holding it against you." Viki smiled at her friend and they began to walk into the kitchen to prepare dinner for themselves. "Although, Masquerade is still superior-" Viki turned and glared at her but was surprised to see a goofy grin plastered on Jet's face. "Spectra is kinda cute, as Viki's pet birdbrain." She turned to face Viki who was trying very hard to keep a straight face. It didn't last as she ended up bursting out into laughter. This proved to be contagious as Jet soon joined her in the laughing fest and soon they were both laughing so hard, that they were rolling on the floor.
Masquerade logged off the site, just as Hal-G's face morphed out from the wall.
"Naga wants to know if you were successful in tracking new minions down." Masquerade picked up Hydranoid and placed him on his shoulder. He turned to Hal-G a smirk on his face.
"Tell Naga he has no reason to worry, the brawlers won't be a problem for long."
