Bakuverse: Chapter 2
Leonidas returned to ball form about a mile outside of the city. On the way I messaged my friends with my gauntlet. Argus, Duke, and Sayuri were still at school. Our other friends, Mizu and Kaze, were at home with the flu.
"What do we do now?" Leo asked as we walked through the forest we landed in.
"We need to lay low for a bit," I replied, "We need a plan."
"What about a frontal assault?"
I shook my head, "They have hundreds of bakugan. We haven't practiced enough to beat them, even with Dark Infinity."
When we made it to a tree near a river I kicked it. A hole appeared near the tree and I walked into it.
"What is this place?" Leo asked.
"This is our secret bunker," I said, turning on the lights, "My friends and I built this a few years ago to get away from our parents. I'm actually surprised the power still works."
I opened up a part of the wall and revealed a fridge. After grabbing a soda I activated the holocomputer.
"What are you doing?" Leo asked as I pulled up a map of the city.
"Chris said that there were other signals from the Doom Dimension," I replied after a drink, "Maybe we can get them to our side. So I'm looking for where they appeared."
"Why don't you use your gauntlet?"
"All the gauntlets are connected to satellites. If I used it, there would be a security force here in seconds."
Leo obviously didn't want to talk about security so we stopped talking. I looked at the spots where the signals came from in hopes of finding a pattern of where they appeared.
A few hours later I heard voices coming from the entrance. I grabbed Leo just as Argus, Duke and Saryuri came in.
"How did you guys get here?" I asked, "I never told you where I was going."
"This is the only place you would hide," Argus said as he got a soda from the fridge, "So what's up?"
"There are more bakugan coming from the Doom Dimension and the security goons wanted me to send them back."
"How in the world could they do that?"
I pulled out the Doom Card that Chris showed me. I had swiped it but didn't want to examine it, "This thing is supposed to send a losing bakugan there."
Duke took the card from my hand and looked at it, "This looks creepy. We should test it."
The rest of just stared at him.
"I knew that guy had a screw loose," I heard Saryuri mutter.
"Why would you want to test that?" I asked, agreeing with Saryuri, "If it worked one of us would lose our bakugan"
"Look," Duke defended, "I just want to have a rematch."
"Why didn't you just ask?" I pulled out my gauntlet's activation card.
"But you said we can't use gauntlets," Leo argued.
"But the activation cards can open their own field."
Duke raised a card, "I like this idea."
We all raised cards, "Field open!"
We were transported to a large area. The ground was white and the sky was rainbow colored.
"Where are we?" Leo asked.
"Before the gauntlets this is where people battled," I replied.
"Right you are," a voice behind us said.
We all turned to see a man in a white cloak. He raised a hand and I saw a Doom Card, "I challenge Mr. Shadows to a brawl."
"I'll brawl if you tell me who you are and how you got here," I said, grasping Leo.
"My name isn't important. But Doom Cards allow the user to go anywhere. Doom Card, set!"
The stranger threw the card at the ground, where it sunk.
"Gate Card set. Bakugan Brawl. Stand Haos Razenoid!"
Razenoid G-Power: 900
"Ready Leo?" I asked.
"Ready as ever," he replied.
"Bakugan Brawl! Stand Darkus Omega Leonidas!"
Leonidas G-Power: 850
Razenoid began to lunge at Leo when I made the first move, "Ability Activate, Alpha Buster."
Leonidas G-Power: 1050
Leo swiped Razenoid and he flew back. The figure raised an arm, "Gate Card Open! Lightforce Shadow!"
Razenoid G-Power: 1200
He continued, "Double Ability Activate, Light Cannon plus Moon Cannon!"
Razenoid G-Power: 1750
Razenoid shot a beam of light at Leo, hitting him in the chest. Leo tried to stand up to the blast but fell.
"Use the move!" Leo cried.
I raised the card, "Fusion Ability Activate, Dark Infinity!"
Leonidas G-Power: 2100
The stranger began to laugh as Razenoid was blasted to the ground, "You fell right into my trap. Ability Activate, Negative Light!"
Razenoid G-Power: 1550
"Why did he do that?" Argus asked.
"So I can activate this. Fusion Ability Activate, Light Infinity!"
"What?" we all called out.
How does he have that?
Razenoid began to charge a ball of light. As it got larger, it became more unstable. As it began to shoot lightning, the stranger said, "How could this be? This card was supposed to be safe!"
The ball exploded, causing my vision to become filled with white. When my vision cleared, we were back in the bunker. I looked around, but couldn't find Leo.
"Leo! Where are you?" I cried.
I heard some grumbling from under me. I stood up and found Leo. I pulled him close and said, "I'm so glad you didn't get sent to the Doom Dimension!"
"I'm glad too," Leo gasped, "But I don't like hugs."
I let go of Leo and said, "Sorry man."
Saryuri sat up and asked, "How the Doom Dimension did that guy get that card?"
I shook my head, I was wondering that myself.
