The Show

As Dan and Shun walked into the center, they were greeted by Melanie.

"There you two are!" She called. "The show's going to start soon, so you two better hurry up and change."

The two of them nodded and headed towards the dressing room. As they entered the room, thy took out their bakugan and put them on the counter. Then they changed into their new clothes befroe grabbing their equipment and bakugan once more.

"You ready?" Dan asked Shun.

Shin nodded. "Yes. I am."

Dan smiled. "Great! This is gonna be one of the best shows yet!" He said excitedly as the two walked up to the catwalk. Meanie smiled as she saw Dan and Shun coming.

"Are you two ready?" She asked. They nodded. "Good. I'll go tell the announcers you're ready." Melanie walked away in a brisk pace.

"Good luck, man." Dan said, turning towards Shun.

"Right," Shun replied.

And the show began.


The show was running smoothly, and they were coming upon the highlihgt of the show. Dan and Shun were wearing clothes that were made for battleing, as they had planned earlier. THe two stuck to the color of their bakugan's attribute. Dan was in a black sleeveless t-shirt with a red streak going down it. He wore complete black pants with fingereless black gloves. He was wearing red and black shoes. He had a red cloak that went down to his ankle. Shun pretty much wore the same thing, except the streak down his shirt was green, his shoes black and green, and his cloak green.

These outfits were originally Melanie's idea. She knew they were into bakugan (though that's all she knew) and decided it would be nice to let them wear that style. She was clueless as to what was about to happen.

Since Shun was the first one to go, he hid his gear in his cloak, and called over his shoulder ot Dan, "See you on the battlefield."

Dan smirked. "You're on." He waited for Shun to go to the end of the catwalk before he made his entrance. There were cheers as he entered the show once more.

At about halfway, Dan looked at the crowd and found Runo. He nodded to her, which was a signal to tell them the battle was oging to start. Runo passed this along, and all the brawlers got their gate cards ready.

As Shun walked back, and Dan moved forwards, they stopped when they were a few feet away from each other. This confised the non-brawler spectators, and they had no idea what was going on.

"All right!" Dan cried out, and there were cheers from the brawlers. Dan and Shun pushed thier cloaks out of the way to revela their. Their gauntlets were already on.

"Gauntlet Power Strike!" Dan and Shun called together. "Gate card open!" They held out their gate cards, as well as the other brawlers. There was a falsh of light, and they went to the battle zone.

There were gasps all around; Dan and Shun looked around to see that everyone, including the non-brawlers, had been transported to the battle zone.

"It seems that, due to the ampount of gate cards being opneed, that everyone at the show was transported here." Shun said. "It'll be dangerous for the non-brawlers."

"Are you saying that we should postpone our match, Shun?" Dan asked.

"No way, Dan." Shun retorted. "I've been waiting for a chance to kick your butt."

There were reporters and cameramen recording what was going on, though the two brawlers weren't paying attnetion.

Dan snorted. "Shun, do you really think you can beat me, the best in tha nation?"

"We'll find out soon enough." Shun replied.

Dan smirked. "Alright then." Dan looked around for Marucho, who was already coming towards them.

"Alright!" Marucho called, grabbing everyone's attention. "Tonight's battle is between The Ace Of Brawlers, Shun Kazami!" There were loud cheers and applaud. "And he'll be versing the champion, also known as the Prince, Dan Kuso!" There were loud cheers as well for Dan.

Dna smirked; he loved to brawl. I didn't amtter who he was up against, he always had a ball.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Dan shouted. Dan threw down a gate card.

"Bakugan Brawl!" Shun called, throwing. "Skyrus, stand!" And Skyrus came out elegantly, soaring into the air.

"Hmm, not bad, Shun." Dan said. He could hear the reporters and cameramen flipping out. He even heard one of them say roll the camera.

"You ready, Drago?" He asked his partenr.

"Of course, Dan. I'm ready to go." Drago replied earnestly.

"Sweet." Dan said. "Bakugan Brawl!" He shoted, throwing Drago out to the field. "Drago, stand!" And out Drago came, his fire tornado spinning rapidly and intensely. The crowd was cheering loud. Drago flew out into the air to match Skyrus' height.

The match had begun.
