Innocence

Hey Raindrops is back! I feel proud of myself that some people actually enjoy reading my story even though very few people bother to read it. Guest: I really happy you like my story so here's the chapter you've been waiting for. Funny thing is I was actually writing this chapter when I got informed that you reviewed. I know because I write my story in my phone and it always informs me when I get new messages. I find this easier to write than my other fanfic for some reason. I was gonna wait a few days to check if I got any reviews. So far only Guest reviewed my second chapter but I already finished so why not. I'm gonna let you enjoy reading my story now. Enjoy!

Oh and I forgot to do this on the last chapter. I do not own Bakugan. If I did why on earth would I even make this fanfiction?

Quince's POV

I'm now in a huge walk-in closet full of vestal clothes. All of them seem to be for girls and are all dark clothing, obviously for Darkus brawlers. Why am I in a closet? Well, after I agreed to be a Vexos, Spectra told Mylene to get me dressed in Vestal attire. Of course I didn't question it, what kind of girl wouldn't want to get free clothes, right? So then Mylene took me to this closet and then left. I guess she couldn't even bother to stay and actually get me the clothes, but I guess I shouldn't expect more from her. Besides that means I get the freedom to choose. I just hope I can find my way back.

Now what do I choose? There's so many clothes to choose from. I kept trying on clothes and looking at the full length mirror (yes there's a mirror in the closet) to see how I look in it. After like 20 to 30 minutes of trying different clothes, I finally chose what I am going to wear.

I wore a long sleeveless top made of a silk like material. The top half of it looks black but has a tinge of violet. There's a black waist belt separating the top and bottom half of the shirt. The bottom half of it is royal purple and are somewhat ruffles, but its simple not overly ruffled. It reaches my thighs and covers a part of my butt. I am wearing jet black shorts that covers a quarter of my thighs, half or it is covered by the ruffles of my top. My footwear are black, leather lace up boots that goes up to about three quarters up my shin and purple socks, the same shade as the bottom half of my shirt, that goes up to just below my knees. I also wore black fingerless gloves which ends at my wrist, only covering the palm of my hands. Apparently, I have to wear a cloak, cape thing because its sorta like their signature attire so all Vexos have to wear them. I chose one that looks more like a sleeveless winter coat. Like what Prince Hydron is going to be wearing. The outside of the cloak is purple (the same shade as Ace's shirt) and the inside is like Mylene's, a white fur like material. The cloak goes up to my knees. It doesn't have a belt thing hanging on like Hydron's though.

I found my way back to the place where the Vexos were. I'm just gonna call the room 'Vexos Hang out' or something. I took a few wrong turns but I did find my way back. I'm going to consider that an accomplishment since this place is so huge. I found that all the Vexos are here except for Mylene. None of them noticed me coming in so I decided to make them realize my presence. "Hey guys! What do you think?" I said cheerfully and smiled a bright smile showing them my new attire. All heads turned to me. Lync and Shadow seemed shocked when they looked at me, like they've seen a ghost. What, is there something on my face, do you think I look ugly in this outfit or something?!

I decided to ignore it. "Lync show her to her room, I have businesses to attend to." Spectra said then him and Gus left the room.

I turned to Lync. He shrugged his shoulders and he started walking so I followed him. Now that we're walking side by side, I realize that he's taller than me, like, half a head taller than me. "So, um, what now?"

"We're just going to stay here for the night then we'll leave for Alpha City. There's going to be a tournament there and the Vexos need to be there."

"Even me?"

"I'm not sure if we should let anyone know your a part of the Vexos yet. Regardless you still have to be there. We're here." I looked at the door where my room is in. Well temporary room anyway.

I turned the knob. I stepped to go inside but I turned around to face Lync before I went in "Thank you."

He must have thought I was thanking him about showing me to my temporary room because he just shrugged it off and said "No problem."

I smiled "No, I mean thank you, all of you, for...you know, taking me in."

I couldn't help but giggle at his bewildered state. "Even though you tried to ditch me and you guys were kinda mean to me at first, you still took me in and I'm grateful for that."

Lync's POV

What in the world is she talking about? Grateful for what, Spectra just decided to make her join the Vexos because she has some brawling skills. Those are Spectra's words not mine. I'm better than her. I know I am. Sure she beat Shadow, but she didn't beat me. I should challenge her, she'd be a better opponent than those noobs at the tournament. Maybe after the actual tournament though. Why is she's acting like a completely different person? Earlier she was fierce and cocky. Now she's acting like...like a sweet and innocent little girl!

As if reading my mind she said "I only act like the way I did earlier is either when I'm really angry or annoyed or when I'm competing for something." Then she flashed me a smile. "But you've probably figured out my over competitiveness by now."

She slowly closed the door so I started walking. I'm not sure but I think I heard her say 'good night' before her door closed completely. Ugh! I've only known her for one day and she's already left me so confused. What is up with that girl? Eh, whatever. It doesn't really matter. She's just a girl who's now a Vexos. Well, technically she's not a part of the Vexos yet. She hasn't met Prince Hydron and he hasn't approved of her yet. I don't get why anyone has to get approval from him anyway. All he does is bark orders at us. He doesn't actually do anything besides sitting in his 'throne chair'.

I walked to my room, went to bed and fell asleep.

Quince's POV

I woke up in my very soft and comfortable, queen sized bed. I guess that was all just a dream. When my eyes fully focused I realized I wasn't in my room, and I wasn't on my bed. So this isn't a dream. The bed is just as big and soft as my bed though.

I decided to go and take bath( there is a bathroom in my room). I stripped out of the pajamas I was provided with, which I found in this room, and went in the warm water of the bath. After I finished, I put on my vestal attire from before. Then I dried and brushed my hair. I saw a makeup kit in the bathroom in front of the bathroom mirror. How did that get there? Oh well. The only thing different between vestals and humans appearance wise are they're eyes. Good thing I was thought everything about putting makeup on. By the time I was done, the shape of my eyes looked more like vestals and I added silver eyeshadow on.

Someone knocked on the door. "It's open." I said softly.

Spectra came in. He told me I had to go see the prince. So when we got there he introduced me, told him what I can do, blah blah now I'm officially a Vexos...I wasn't paying much attention. Anyway, now I'm in the very same ship thing from before, Volt's carrier (I just figured out its called a carrier). We're flying to Alpha City.

I just stared outside the window, all I see is sand, sand, sand. If we're just going to have a tournament in Alpha City and the that means I came here in between episode 6 and 7 since if it was already episode 7 then Lync should have already been in Alpha City but we're still only going there "Hey are you coming out or not?" Lync's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, yeah!" I hopped out of the vehicle. Then we went into the Battle Arena. Some brawlers were, well brawling. Probably to get ready for the tournament.

Lync, Volt and I went into a room which kinda looked familiar. I guess this is the place where Lync and Volt stay during the tournament. There are a lot of buttons and things but I'm not that dense to just go on and press a button, no matter how tempting it is considering how bored I am in here. There's not much to do, for me anyway. I stood up from my chair "I'm gonna go out for a bit." I said and I took off my cape, cloak thing and placed in on the chair I was just sitting on.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Lync asked in...wary? Confusion? I'm gonna go with confusion.

I turned around to face him "I said I'm going out. As in I'm going for a walk. And didn't you guys say that the uh, cloak is like, the signature Vexos attire, so I figured I probably shouldn't come out with it."

"You know you might get lost. You might want someone to come with you."

I ignored his mocking tone "No it's fine. This Arena is a huge semi sphere building with walls made of glass and has a crystal thingy on top of it. It's hard to miss. And if I somehow do get lost I'll just ask someone." I smiled at him. "But, uh, can you lend me some money. Please." I dragged out the last word and pressed my hands together in front of my chest as if begging. I guess I sorta am, well not really at least I don't think so.

"No way am I giving you money."

"Oh come on, please."

"Here." Said a gruff voice. I turned my head to see Volt holding what I assume to be vestal money. I almost forgot he was there, that's weird. How can I forget someone's presence? Meh, who knows my brain is mush right now. Hey maybe I'd get to see Dan and the Resistance when I go out. Anyway, I took the money, thanked Volt and went out.

"Wow, it seems like I just traveled to a city in a foreign country and not a different planet. The vestals look and act sorta like humans. The city looks like cities on Earth too, the only difference is that its more high tech and vestals dress differently."

"They all look so peaceful too." Leo said. He was on my right shoulder.

"Yeah, even more peaceful than earth." I said kinda sad. I wish Earth could be peaceful like here. Some people there can say it is but they're all just naive. I can say otherwise.

Nobody looked at me weirdly although some vestals look at me every now and then but everyone glances at random people they don't know while strolling. Nobody seemed to notice Leo on my shoulder. That's a good thing I guess, it means I look just like a vestal. Then again Dan and Marucho weren't looked at weirdly either.

I looked at the stores and restaurants in the city. All the vestal food looks appetizing but I wasn't really hungry, I'll buy food later. I just kept roaming around but making sure I don't go too far from the arena. I went in a jewelry store which caught my eye. I looked around until I found a pair of silver dangly earrings. They are disc shaped and are about 2 inches in diameter. I picked it up from the earring holder and held it below my ear lobe to see how I look in it on a nearby mirror. I was about to ask Leo what he thought but someone spoke to me before I even opened my mouth.

"That looks nice on you. Would you like to buy it?" Said the kind, at least she seems kind, lady working In the store. I checked the price.

"Yes, and I'd also like to by this please." I placed the earrings on the counter along with a silver bangle, then flashed a smile. I payed for the jewelry and she gave me my change. I put the earrings on and the bangle on my right wrist. I glanced at my reflection. I don't really like complementing myself (unless I'm on my competitive state when I'm overly cocky) but I do look pretty. I like the way I look. And being in anime form makes me look even cuter!

I skipped, yes skipped out of the store with a bright smile on my face. I stopped skipping at some point and started walking again. I still have some money left I can still buy some food.

Before I could even take one more step, someone bumped into me. This caused me to stumble backwards. Leo dropped from my shoulder and my gauntlet fell out. Yeah I was carrying my gauntlet so what? "I'm sorry. Are you ok?" said a familiar voice.

Dan's POV

We just got out of the secret passage thingy Shun showed us. I ran so I wouldn't get hit by a car but then I bumped into someone. I quickly apologized. She looked up and I was momentarily dazed. She's...beautiful.

"I'm ok. It's alright." She gave me a reassuring smile. Then she bent down to pick something up. I looked down and saw her pick up a Bakugan. I saw a purple gauntlet and picked it up.

"Your a brawler?" I said handing her her gauntlet.

"Yes, I am." She said cheerfully. "Well, I kinda have to go somewhere, see ya!" she went to go somewhere. She looks so innocent. She's a brawler and she doesn't realize what she's really doing to the Bakugan. I guess vestals really don't know that what they're doing is wrong.

Well I got nothing to say but REVIEW!
