Sorry for the SUPER late update! I just started school in the beginning of October and I'm a film major so a lot of work had to be done. Hope this makes up for it.

I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT FOR THE NEW ONES I MADE UP!

Chapter 3

A brunette is walking through what looks like a rain forest. She hears the cries of animals that live within the forest. The brunette looks to her shoulder to see a Pyrus bakugan. They continue to walk through until they see the end of the forest. She starts to run faster. When she gets out she sees a beautiful spiral crystal castle on a hilltop. The brunette is in awe. Eyes travel up to the top of the castle where they see a bright techni colored sphere hovering over the tip of the castle. She stares at the sphere in a haze. She is mesmerized by it and some how its like the sphere is calling her.

"Sami? Sami!"

HUH!

Sami wakes up in surprise. She looks around and sees that she is in her bedroom. Her grandmother is at her door.

Wow. What a weird dream. Different than the ones I have had before.

"SAMI!" yelled Grandma Cusso. "Sweetheart, its 11:30 pm. I know its Saturday, but I think you've slept in long enough. I need you to run some errands for me. Okay?"

Sami sat up and stretched her arms. She looked at her grandmother and smiles.

"Ya grandma. Don't worry about it. I'll get ready now."

Her grandmother smiles back and close the door behind her. Once the click was heard a sphere of red floated on her night stand.

"Your grandmother is a very loveable women isn't she?" said the sphere.

A warm feeling entered Sami's body. Just like when she first met him.

"She practically raised me. I better start getting ready. By the way, you have been staying with me for three days, and you haven't explained anything about this whole bonding energy thing yet. Where you serous? Or were you just looking for a place to crash?"

After Pyrus Leonidous came to stay with her, he barely spoke a word after that. He just stayed in sphere form.

"It's not like that. I was just observing your home life. I wanted to see what kind of person you were before I told you. After these three days, I think your ready to know more information. You don't have school so I'll accompany you on your errands."

He is so formal. He kind of reminds me of Tigera. Whatever. I have to focus. These dreams I have been having have been getting more confusing and I need answers.

"All right. Give me a few more minutes and then we will be off."

A few hours later, Sami and Leonidous already were done with the errands that her grandmother had sent her off to do. Grandma Kuso didn't see Leonidous when they walked out because he was hiding in her jacket. How am I going to tell her?

They walk to a park and find a nice private tree to sit down under. Sami realizes this is the best place to have their little conversation. Sami looks at Leonidous a little awkwardly. Its weird for her to be around someone so quiet.

Leonidous.

"Leonidous, huh?"

The sphere swirls towards Sami, who is smiling at him.

"Yes that's my name."

"Its kind of a mouth full. Really long. Mind if I shorten it a little. Hm? How about Leo?"

"Um. I guess that fine." Leo swirls around a little. Seems a bit uncomfortable.

"So tell me about my dreams. They have become more vivid and real recently. And you said you were an Exel bakugan. What does that mean? I have never heard of a different kind of bakugan. And that warm feeling I have been having every time I'm near you, what is that?"

"Slow down. I will answer all your questions. Let me start from where I am from. I am from a planet called Pandora. It's in a different dimension. We are a peaceful planet that is protected by an energy called the Infinite Spirit. This energy is contained in a sphere that hovers over Pandora's crystal castle. It is said this is energy gave life to Pandora. In order to protect the planet, the Infinite Spirit gave life to 6-guardian bakugan of 6 different attributes called Excel bakugan. We hold special powers that help protect the planet. For millenniums, me and my brothers and sisters have fought off evil and kept balance to our planet. We serve under the king and queen of Pandora."

"We? So I'm assuming you're the Pyrus guardian. Right?"

"I am." Leo said it with confidence and no hesitation. Sami looked at him in shock.

The fact that he is telling me all of this means he must really trust me. If he is this important, he wouldn't just tell anyone. But it still doesn't make sense.

"If your from Pandora, why are you on Earth? And you still haven't explain this warm feeling I get from you." Sami is starting to get impatient. One thing is for sure though. That castle that he was describing was the castle from her dreams.

" Patience child, I'm getting to that. Not to long ago an evil sorcery master named Hades brought an army to try and take the Infinite Spirit. My family, along with the kings army and me fought them off. We defeated them, but at a price. We lost half of our soldiers that day. We know Hades will come back much stronger. Not long after the battle our king called us and told us about a prophecy that states the 6 guardians will form a bond with a partner and once they become synced they will be a powerful team."

Sami eyes are widened. All of this is starting to make sense but its not clicking.

"Sami. My brothers and sisters separated so that we can find out partners. We don't pick our partners; they were already decided. Sami, that warm feeling that you have when we are near is the Pyrus attribute bond from the IS sphere. You and I were born to meet and be partners. You must help me and save Pandora."

Sami's head is spinning and hurting from all this information. Just a few days ago she was a normal middle school kid. Now she is some guardian soldier meant to save the an entire planet. It doesn't sound like her.

"Leo. I think you got the wrong person. You see, I'm not like my family ok. I'm sure you have heard of my father Dan Kuso and Pyrus Dragoniod. They are saviors. They are hero's. I'm just the disappointment in the family. I cant even win a battle. I gave up battling a long time ago."

Sami is looking down at the grass. She has always been an outsider of her family. To the point where her entire family and friends left for Bakugan city and left her behind. Sami was trying to push back tears.

"Sami, I am not wrong. I have been watching you these last three days. You say your not special but I saw differently. You have a pure heart, and strong disposition. All you don't have is confidence. You say you can't brawl, maybe because you haven't met the right partner to help you in battle. Your smart so I know you can do it. We will work together to get better. We will train. Sami, I'm not asking for you to pack your bags up and go running to Pandora. I came here knowing I would have to work together to create a bond. Sami, I wont just be your partner, I will be your guardian, your friend. Its all up to you. Are you going to stay in the dark, or are you going to step in the light and find out who you truly are?"

Sami just stared at Leo. This was the first time someone had ever had so much confidence in her ever. After hearing that she knew that it would be wrong to give up. Sami stood up and looked up at the sky.

I wonder if this is what dad felt, before facing his destiny.

Sami smiled and looked at Leo.

"All right. Then why don't we get started."

WOW. Hopefully this made up for a the long absent. So I know that was a lot to take in, but so much more is going to happen. Maybe another Excel bakugan and its partner? Maybe!
