The Bakugan Wizard
By: Aubrie1234
Dear Readers, as I have said (I think) in one of my other stories, I consider Ingram a girl, and that's what I will always consider her. So, if you don't like that, then I don't care. It's just how I view her. And, also, there will be pairings between bakugan, but I already have one in mind (it isn't mentioned in this chapter). If you think of one, you can suggest it to me, if you want. Also, Billy is 18 in this story, and I'm making the others' ages based on that, if you want to guess.
He had watched Julie on the news, thanks to a friend (which he wouldn't mention), and thought she had done great. When he came back home, however, there was a letter waiting for him, and it was from the Ministry.
Dear Mr. Gilbert,
We regret to inform you, but a local wizard has seen a Hippogriff near your location. If seen, contact the Ministry immediately. But, send the Hippogriff to sleep first, please.
Signed,
Hermione Granger
Billy read over the letter, surprised. A Hippogriff, nearby? He remembered that he had kept his potion supplies and potion-making kit in his trunk upstairs, and he guessed he could make a Sleeping Draught. Now, all he needed was something the Hippogriff would eat, in case he came across it, such as a bird or a ferret. He smirked, remembering Draco when he was turned into a ferret back in his fourth year; boy, was that hilarious! Until he learned that Prof. Moody at the time was Barty Crouch Jr. That dampened everything then.
Back on the subject of Hippogriffs; he didn't want to use an animal as food for the Hippogriff, so could he make something else it would eat? He nodded to himself, thinking up a plan, and went upstairs to start on the potion and taking the letter with him.
It took most of the night to make the potion, but he soon had it ready and then started on some cupcakes. While he had been making the Sleeping Draught, he had thought about other things that might attract the Hippogriff, and the only thing he remembered that might make the Hippogriff eat the food would be Amortentia, since it made whoever smells it smell whatever they find most attractive, such as the Hippogriff's food. He had made a batch earlier in the year, since Ginny had once asked of him to make some, in case she needed it to make Harry fall in love with her, but it seems she didn't, so he had kept it. As he made the cupcakes (he wasn't making a whole batch, just three), Billy added the Sleeping Draught and the Amortentia at separate intervals, so the potions would work (if he had added them at the same time they might have canceled each other out). Soon enough, he had three vanilla cupcakes filled to the brim with a Sleeping Draught and Amortentia.
Billy wrapped them in three different small paper bags so the smell wouldn't get out, stuffed the letter in his suitcase, and he prepared for the day ahead.
Unsurprisingly, Dan, Runo, and their bakugan were the first to arrive at the park that morning. Dan set up the picnic blanket while Runo checked the food. Runo was wearing her hair in its usual ponytails, a white shirt underneath a blue waistcoat, khaki shorts, and her usual brown shoes and striped socks; Dan still had his goggles on his head in their usual place, along with a red jacket over a white and blue T-shirt, blue jeans, and his red shoes.
"I can't believe we'll finally get to see Klaus and Bella's kids for the first time!" she said, "Plus, Billy's coming with Atmos and a new pet!"
"Yes, and I hope they don't get any ideas of eating us." Drago said. He was a Fusion Dragonoid now.
"If Atmos doesn't eat you guys, who says Billy's new pet will?" Dan asked him.
"It's just a precaution." Tigrerra said, "Would you like it if you were on the menu for someone else?" Dan rolled his eyes.
"No, but still! You two are too worried about this." Soon, the other brawlers came as well. Shun came first, followed by Keith (many still called him Spectra, even after all these years, and Gus wasn't following him anymore, to his relief), Mira, and Ace, who came in a group. Shun's hair was back to the length and style it was when he was thirteen, and he wore a light green shirt under a white shirt with dark green trimming, tan-colored pants, and brown boots; Keith's hairstyle and length of his hair had barely changed, as by his sister's insistence, and he still wore his feathered red jacket (put not his mask anymore), a white sleeveless shirt underneath, tan pants, and his black boots. Mira had let her hair, however, grow out a bit, leaving it to stretch a little beyond her shoulders, and she wore her silver jacket over her blue dress-like shirt, brown pants, and her white boots; Ace hadn't changed much in his hairstyle either (also thanks to Mira) and he wore a short-sleeved purple shirt with black markings, purple pants, and his black boots.
"Nice to see you guys again!" Mira said happily, "When are the others going to get here?"
"Soon." Shun said, "All in their own time."
"Do you need any help with the picnic, Dan?" Keith asked.
"No, I can get this." As they talked, the bakugan flew up to the tree providing the shade for the picnic.
"So, do you guys think that Billy's new pet might try to eat us?" Drago voiced his concerns from earlier, along with Tigrerra's.
"Maybe, but we should at least give him a chance." Wilda said. Drago huffed.
"The last time I gave anything I didn't know about a chance almost made me drown in Dan's bathtub! And it's a long story, from back when I first evolved." he said at the other bakugan's expressions.
"Oh, I remember that." Skyress said, "You had ranted about never going near any body of water on a floating device ever again the next time you and Dan called us."
"I know most cats, like myself, hate water, but even I think that's a bit of an overreaction, Drago." Tigrerra said.
"Try saying that again after you nearly drown sometime." he said unhappily.
"On to happier topics," Helios said, "How have you all been?"
"Fine, thank you. Have any of you met any of Billy's pets yet?" Skyress asked.
"Well, Wilda, Percival, Nemus, Elfin, and I met Billy and Atmos two years ago, during the summer." Ingram said, "They were very nice, and Atmos won't eat bakugan, so we're safe from him."
"And Billy's new pet?" Percival asked.
"We're not sure on him yet, as we discussed earlier." Tigrerra said, "We only heard a little from Julie, and even then we only know it's some sort of dog and that it's a boy." Just then, more bakugan flew up to greet them: Hydranoid, Brontes, Vulcan, Altair, Elico, and Hades. Both Mechanical Bakugan had been given an upgrade by Marucho so that they were now sentient and could talk by themselves. It was a known fact to everyone except themselves that Hades and Altair were in love, but they both denied any allegations that were made. Speaking of their owners, they had just arrived.
Alice was dressed in a long, yellow blouse, a white skirt, and brown boots, and her hair was a little longer, now reaching the bottom of her back; Lync hadn't changed much in his hairstyle either, and he wore a dark green shirt, white jeans, and his old black boots; Volt hadn't changed much either and he wore a sleeveless white shirt, tight-fitting black pants, and his white boots; like their comrades, Shadow, Mylene, and Gus hadn't changed much either, except that Gus' hair was now much shorter from when he used to have it.
Shadow wore a low cut dark purple shirt under a short black jacket, purple pants (similar to Ace's), and his old silver boots; Mylene wore a long-sleeved dark blue shirt, a whitish-blue skirt, and light blue boots, similar to the ones she wore as a Vexos; finally, Gus wore a dark brown shirt underneath an orange trench coat-like jacket, dark brown pants, and light brown boots, similar to the ones he wore as a Vexos.
"Master Spectra, will there be juice in boxes during the picnic?"
"Yes, Gus..." Keith sighed exasperatedly.
"Will there be games?!" Shadow asked excitedly, along with Lync.
"Well, Julie's bringing a Frisbee, if you wanna learn how to play." Runo said.
"What's a Frisbee?" Lync asked. Runo sighed angrily and Alice thought that she should take over.
"Well, guys, a Frisbee is a disc made out of plastic that you throw into the air at another person and they try to catch it. It doesn't always go in a straight line, so you have to move to catch it, especially when the wind blows. Besides people, they can also be used to play with dogs." They nodded at her words.
"Cool! I can't wait!" Shadow said.
"What about Billy?" Volt asked.
"I think Julie said she would pick him up." Shun said, "Though, no offense, it would be just her luck to forget."
"Besides Julie, the other brawlers and Marucho are also missing." Mylene observed.
"They should be here soon." Dan said, "Just be patient, Mylene." She nodded. Like Dan said, soon, many of the others arrived, though Billy and Julie were still missing. Joe, Chan, Julio, Komba, Marucho, Baron, Klaus, and his family were there. The girls immediately fussed over Thomas and Klara, who were like the spiting image of their parents; Thomas had dark brown hair, like his mother, and looked similar to her, except for his eyes, which were bluish-green, like his father's, and he was wearing a plain white shirt and jeans, along with small blue shoes; Klara had long blue hair, like her father, and looked similar to him in many ways, except for her eyes, which were brown, like her mother's, and she wore a plain pink shirt, a small yellow skirt, and small white shoes.
As for the adults, they hadn't changed much from when they were last seen, and for the picnic, Klaus wasn't wearing any fancy clothes, as he usually did; he wore a blue jacket over a white shirt, blue jeans, and blue and white shoes. Bella, his wife, was as Julie described: she had long, dark hair, that reached the middle of her back, bright brown eyes, and she wore a yellow shirt, orange shorts, and green shoes; she had also brought some extra food and an extra Frisbee to the picnic, but she said that Shadow and Lync could play with the disc after they had eaten and everyone got there.
"You've got a strict wife there, Von Hertzon." Lync said to him.
"I know." he sighed, "But she's the best thing that could have ever happened to me."
As for the clothing of the others: Julio wore a black sleeveless shirt underneath a white jacket with yellow trimmings, white pants, and black shoes; Marucho still had his glasses and wore a light blue shirt underneath a dark blue sleeveless jacket, white shorts, and yellow and blue shoes; Komba had move his hat to the side instead of backwards, to where the girls tried to fix it repeatedly, and he wore a yellow sweatshirt under a short-sleeved green jacket, green pants, and yellow and green shoes; Chan wore a red dress-like outfit with gold markings and trimmings, similar to what she had worn when she was younger, and yellow and red shoes; Joe still had his pendant from when he was twelve around his neck and he wore a plain white T-shirt under a purplish-white short-sleeved jacket that had purple trimmings, white shorts, and purple and white shoes; and, as for Baron, he now wore his headband around his neck like someone would do with goggles and he wore a white jacket with yellow markings over a sleeveless yellow shirt, white pants, and his old blue boots. Their bakugan accompanied those already in the tree.
"Wow." Hades said as soon as he saw the two toddlers, "The likeness is uncanny."
"I know." Sirenoid nodded, "But, they can be a bit of a pain sometimes, though I would never tell Klaus."
"How so?" Fourtress asked.
"You try playing with them when they only think you're a toy to play with!" she shivered.
"That's worse than me." Drago said.
"Yeah, so note to everyone: don't go near the kids unless you want to be rough handled." Harpus summed up, to which everyone nodded.
"How have you guys been, then?" Altair asked.
"We've been fine, though Baron has been trying to help get Joe onto third base with Chan." Nemus said, "You can tell it just won't go well."
"How old is he again?" Brontes asked.
"15. He's the youngest here, besides the twins."
"No wonder he's being so immature..." Tentaclear said, observing what was going on below. Baron had just pushed Joe into Chan and, though grinning, had said it was an accident. Now the two brawlers were chasing him angrily.
"I said I was sorry, didn't?!" he asked helplessly.
"We don't need your help to be in love, Baron!" they said, continuing to chase him. Everyone else sweatdropped at the scene.
"This has been an interesting picnic so far." Elfin said, "But it won't be as fun until Julie and Billy get here with Cycloid and Gorem, not to mention Billy's pets!"
"At least we get to have a reunion!" Preyas said, "Last year it got messed up because someone had forgotten what the date was for the picnic!" He was looking pointedly at several Vestals, specifically Shadow and Lync, not to mention Baron. Suddenly, there was some slight flapping and the bakugan got out of the way as Atmos landed on their branch.
"Atmos!" Harpus said happily and loud enough for the others below to hear, "Great to see you!"
"That's Atmos?" Mylene asked, "He's quite big for an owl."
"It's because he's an Eagle Owl, and if he's here, Billy, Julie, and Billy's other pet should be here soon." Joe explained, he and Chan not chasing Baron anymore. Baron panted heavily.
"NEVER...AGAIN..." he said.
