Dan: When can I start talking in the story?
Me: I'm not sure yet.

"Once the transporter is fixed you are so gone," said Alice as she set a plate of food down for Lync while he sat on the floor whimpering and feeling sorry for himself.
Alice walked away to check on her grandfather, who was hard at work trying to fix the transporter. Lync turned and looked at Alice's retreating figure. He definitely thought she was cute; he could hardly believe that a girl from Earth was one of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. To Lync, she didn't look like the type of girl who would get herself involved with a group led by an annoying Earthling like Dan Kuso.
Lync shook his head violently and thought, 'What am I thinking? Me, like an Earthling girl like her; I must be nuts to think something like that.' Lync reached a piece of bread that was on his plate and took a bite. After he ate the piece of bread, he took a bite of the food Alice had made for dinner. As he took ate some of the food his eyes widened and closed as he savored the delicious food.
"Oh man that hits the spot," Lync said to himself. "This a lot better than the food back at Vess Palace."
As Lync ate he looked at the television screen and watched the news report about what was transpiring around the Earthsphere. When he saw mobile suits on the TV screen he was dumbfounded, how could mechanical Bakugan be out of their ball form and still work or fight.
'This world is really confusing,' thought Lync as he finished off his food.
Alice came back into the house and saw Lync still sitting on the floor with his eyes fixed on television screen watching the news. She noticed that Lync still had his plate on his lap but empty. Alice walked over to Lync and cautiously reached for the plate thinking he met try to hold her as a hostage like Spectra held her friend Runo as a hostage. Lync didn't even flinch for a second as Alice took the plate from his lap. Alice took the plate to the sink and rinsed it off and took a glance at Lync as he was still fixed on the television screen. She turned off the TV and Lync snapped out of his trance as he said to Alice, "I was watching that."
"I know but it can be addicting for lazy people," said Alice as readied a plate of food for her grandfather still in his lab. "Um… did you like the food?"
"It's not like the food at Vess Palace," said Lync as his face turned red from embarrassment. "Uh, I'm sorry but I don't think I should be here. Bye Alice." After that Lync bolted to the door and left hoping to run away from what he was feeling toward Alice.
Alice hung her head down in disappointment as she felt insulted by Lync's comment. Her face turned red when Lync bolted out the door. Right now like Lync she wanted to run away from she felt about Lync. Lync ran for five more minutes putting considerable desistance between him and Alice. As he crouched down to catch his breath, Spectra reappeared along with Gus.
"S-Spectra, Gus?" asked Lync in a surprised tone. "What are you doing here; no how did you get here?"
"Oh that's easy Lync," answered Spectra. "We followed your gauntlet's signal and warped here.
"Now then on to business," continued Spectra as he tossed a Bakugan to Lync.
"Huh? What's going on here?" Lync asked Spectra dumbfounded.
"We're working alongside the Brawlers now and I need you to give Darkus Hydranoid to that girl you're staying with," answered Spectra as Lync received Hydranoid. "We promised that if we retrieved the other five fighting Bakugan that the Brawlers would fight with us. You'll also be reporting to me all of the Brawler's movements. I want you to get close to that girl and get in their circle."
"I guess I can do that," said Lync.
"Good because you'll be with the Brawlers until I need you to go somewhere else," Spectra said with an evil smile.
"Um… what if I fall for her for real?" Lync asked Spectra as he was worried that Spectra might try to hurt Alice.
"As long as it doesn't stop you from doing your job," said Spectra, "then we won't have a problem."
Lync nodded and walked back to Alice's house as he looked at the Bakugan he had to give Alice. He followed the footprints in the snow that he made as he ran from the house. As he made his way back to Alice's house, Hydranoid stirred and woke up to see he was being carried by one of the Vexos who had captured him.
"What's going on here?" asked Hydranoid.
"I'm taking you back to your Brawler," Lync said to Hydranoid.
"Wait you're… taking me back… to Alice?" asked all three heads of Hydranoid.
"Yeah that's right," answered Lync.
"But why are you helping me get back to Alice?" Hydranoid asked Lync.
"Spectra wants help from the Bakugan Battle Brawlers," answered Lync, "and part of the deal that was made was that Spectra and Gus free you and the other fighting Bakugan who saved Vestroia.
"Oh no, they must've caught Drago," Hydranoid said to himself among his heads.
"You're kidding man," said Lync as he chuckled to himself. "Drago and Dan Kuso have been beating the Vexos left and right."
"Well at least there is hope," Hydranoid said to Lync before leaping up to Lync's face. "Why are you helping Alice and the Brawlers?"
"… I really don't know why I'm helping out," answered Lync.
"That's not good," said Hydranoid. "You need to find your reason for why you're helping the Brawlers.
Lync didn't say anything as he began to think about his reason for helping the Brawlers. As he began to think about his reason, he thought about Alice. Alice had already left to look for Lync; she planned to give Lync a piece of her mind when she saw Lync walking back with Hydranoid, her Bakugan. She noticed that Lync had a different look on his face.
"Huh, Hydranoid?" asked Alice as she saw her Bakugan partner.
"It's been too long Alice," said Hydranoid as he flew to Alice.
Alice smiled as Hydranoid landed in Alice's hands and she looked at Lync as she said, "Thank you Lync."
"Don't thank me Alice," said Lync. "Thank Spectra, he and Gus freed Hydranoid and the other Bakugan Hydron had captive. I'll help you and the Brawlers take down Hydron and the Vestal king."
"Why?" Alice asked confused.
"I don't know why I want to help you," answered Lync. "Maybe if I help you guys, I can find out my reason for helping you."
Alice smiled and asked Lync to follow her back to her house to stay until they could fix the portal. While Lync was gone, Alice's grandfather took his gauntlet and used it to begin working on the Dimensional Gate. As they walked back to the house, Lync apologized to Alice for the misunderstanding about the food she made. Alice smiled and forgave him; along the way she saw that Lync had no Bakugan that worked.
"We need to get you a new Bakugan," Alice said to Lync, "if you're going to join the Brawlers; then you need a Bakugan."
"I kinda like Ventis Altair," said Lync as he pulled out his own Bakugan that got totaled by Haos Shining Gundam, "but that Haos Shining Gundam did a number on him."
"Well, we'll see if Neyla can help you out," said Alice as they reached the entrance of her house.
April 6th CE 77
Neyla Kaiou
Tokyo, Japan, Republic of East Asia
I just received Alice's message that Lync wanted to join the Brawlers. 'Everything is going to my plan so far,' I thought as I staggered out of bed trying not to wake Kisa. Kisa and I shared a bed together because her parents used the other room I used as an office for her father's job as a software engineer for a defense contractor working with Morgenroete. Kisa told me the day came back to Sohma House that she became a member of the Sky Girls. I thought it was impossible and Eika-san usually tells me who joins, but this must've occurred during my time on New Vestroia. I was glad to hear that Kisa joined the Sky Girls and couldn't wait to work with her again. Anyway, back to business, I contacted the Brawlers and informed them Lync's intention to join the Brawlers. Dan, Mira, Baron, Julie and Runo were strongly against it and told me that he was probably trying to trick us.
"Well this is part of the plan to defeat the Vexos and we could use help from any defectors," I said as I made my case for allowing Lync to join the Brawlers Resistance. "Besides I have a feeling there's more to Lync's intention of joining up with us and I'm going to the Eurasian Federation and talk with Lync."
"Eh? What kind of feeling?" Dan asked me.
I looked at Mira and silently gave her my answer as she looked at me and gave me a slight nod acknowledging my answer. It's good to know that some girls have woman's intuition like I do. Dan and Baron looked at me and Mira confused and asked what we knew; I just told Dan not worry about it and revealed her plan to use Lync as a double agent get help us by passing Intel to us on the Vexos, Prince Hydron and the Vestal king. I had planned on taking down the Vestal king for trying to conquer New Vestroia. As a Gundam pilot I felt that conquerors should die for oppressing those who are innocent, but then again it's not my call to pronounce judgment on the guilty. Luckily for me and Fang, I had Fang's mobile suit body stored here in Tokyo. After finishing my conversation with the Brawlers and convincing them that letting Lync join was a good idea, Fang and I decided to fly to Alice's home but I had sneak out of Sohma House without Kisa knowing. Ha! I practically trained her how to sneak out and we know what each other is thinking after spending enough time together for a couple of years. She followed me to my private mobile suit hangar.
"Kisa?" I asked in a surprised tone. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry, but Lt. Commander Ichijo assigned me to your mission and the Queen authorized my joining your mission," answered Kisa. I sighed and motioned Kisa to follow me to the locker room and told her to change into a flight suit and be ready for takeoff as we were heading to the Eurasian Federation twenty minutes ago. Kisa nodded and quickly changed into a flight suit and hid a necklace underneath it.
"When did you get that necklace?" I asked Kisa.
"You gave it to me when you first came to live with me and my family," answered Kisa. "Don't you remember that?" I had remembered that and I also remembered that she gave me a necklace too.
I tried to get back into my professional stance but with Kisa, I couldn't do that. She was my sister even though we're not related to each biologically. We rode the elevator down to the hangar and boarded Fang Murasame. As we did that Fang shed her ball form and returned to her mobile suit body again.
"Hey Fang, how does it feel to back in your mobile suit body?" I asked Fang.
"It would be better if I wasn't in this fighter form right now," answered Fang.
"Sorry 'bout that Fang," I said as the catapult raised up from the sea. "But you have to be in fighter mode for a while until we reach the Eurasian Federation."
Fang sighed and said, "I guess I can wait until we get there."
"I promise when we get there you can get out fighter mode," I said to Fang.
"Alright I'm holding you to your word," said Fang as she launched from the catapult
Six hours later
35 miles northeast of Moscow, Russia, Eurasian Federation
"There we are," I said to Kisa as Fang began to slow down when she saw Alice's house in visual range.
Fang then came to a stop and let out her passengers before leaving her body and returning to ball form.
"Hey, how come Fang left her body?" asked Kisa.
"That's one of her abilities as a tiger spirit," I said to Kisa as she leapt down from the cockpit.
"Wow that's cool!" exclaimed Kisa. Fang then focused her own energy and created a Bakugan for Kisa to brawl with.
"Here Kisa this Bakugan is for you," Fang said as the Bakugan floated to her. "Meet Aquos Tigress Astray, like me she too is a Gundam Bakugan."
Kisa took the new Bakugan in her hands and looked at it as it opened up.
"Um hello there," Kisa said to her Bakugan.
"Hello, I am Aquos Tigress Astray, the pleasure is mine," replied Tigress Astray. "But please call me Takashi."
"Alright, I'll call you Takashi," Kisa said with a smile. "I like Takashi for a name."
"Alright come on we got a job to do," I said trying to bring focus to our job. I knocked on the door and Alice answered the door and asked, "Yes, can I help you?"
"Hey Alice, I need to talk to Lync and also I could use some help in training someone to brawl," I answered Alice as I showed her Kisa talking with Takashi. "Think you could teach Kisa, over there, about brawling?"
"Sure, I can do that," said Alice as she smiled. "But I think I should get a piece of the action."
"I brought three Darkus Gundam Bakugan you might like," I said to Alice as I pulled out three Bakugan. "Meet Darkus Legend, Darkus Deathscythe Hell and Darkus Gold Frame Amatu Mina."
"Um, hello there," Alice said nervously. "I'm Alice and this is my partner Darkus Hydranoid."
"Yo! How ya doing?" asked Deathscythe. "You're sure good looking." Deathscythe Hell defiantly had Duo Maxwell's personality and it made me cringe uneasy.
"Hello I'm Darkus Gold Frame Amatu Mina," introduced Amatu Mina as I noticed Amatu Mina had a feminine personality. "It'll be a pleasure to work with you and please call me Mina."
"I'm Darkus Legend, charmed," said Legend as he floated towards. I noticed that Legend had Rey's personality
"Are you sure you want to work with these mechanical Bakugan?" Hydranoid asked Alice.
"Well we're going to need all the help we can get," answered Alice, "and these Gundam Bakugan have proven that they can handle themselves against the Vexos."
"Well, all right then," said Hydranoid before going back into ball form.
"I understand that you don't like mechanical Bakugan," said Alice, "but these mechanical Bakugan are different from the ones that captured you."
Hydranoid didn't say anything but gave Alice a slight nod; maybe these mechanical Bakugan were worth giving a chance. Alice walked over to Kisa and began training her on Bakugan brawling and I decided to do a little training with Darkus Ragnarok and Haos Butterfly Edge. I still needed to learn control of both weapons and I usually trained to keep them under control. After training for an hour Darkus Ragnarok and Haos Butterfly Edge returned to their swords and I sheathed them as I walked toward Alice's house. When I reached the porch, Lync came out and was surprised to see me.
"Uh, did I do anything to make the Brawlers want you to get rid of me?" Lync asked nervously.
"Uh, no," I answered. "Besides Alice would be sad if I killed you. I can see it in her eyes; she likes you and believes that she can get you to change sides." Lync blushed as I mentioned Alice and the fact that she was attracted to him. I could tell that he was attracted to her too and he was willing to change sides to stay with Alice and I was going to use my bag of tricks to get another villain to turn against their organization.
"Look, why not turn on the Vexos?" I asked Lync as I began to try and bait Lync into turning on the Vexos.
"Huh? Me turn on the Vexos?" asked Lync dumbfounded.
"Yeah," I answered Lync. "I know you want to turn your back on them because of Alice. You like her; you might even love her if she feels the same. But if you do completely turn on the Vexos, you'll be working for me."
"What would I be doing for you?" asked Lync.
"Spying on the Vexos from within the group and passing Intel to either myself, Alice or Klaus von Schroder back on Vestal."
"Uh ok, but I don't have a working Bakugan to defend myself or use when I have to fight alongside the Vexos," Lync said as he pulled Ventis Altair. "Haos Burning Gundam did a number on him after I got beat by him twice."
"That's why I brought Ventis Chaos, Ventis Murasame and Ventis Zeta Gundam to replace Ventis Altair," I said to Lync. "But use them only when you need them."
"But what if the Vexos demand to know how I got them?" Lync asked me.
"Tell that you used your Vestal charm and swindled the Brawlers' top Subterra brawler out of them," I answered Lync. Lync knew what I told him and agreed with that answer. For a Vestal, he was really cute and could charm almost any girl on Vestal or that matter here on Earth. To tell you the truth I had planned on having Lync go back to the Vexos and spy on them for me. With his abilities to avoid danger and keep suspicion off of him, I knew right away that he was the perfect candidate for the job.
"But… what about Alice?" asked Lync concerned about Alice. "I don't want her to think I betrayed her and betrayed her trust."
"Ah, I see you like her," I said as I began to tease Lync. "Do you LOVE her?"
"I-I don't know," answered Lync as he lowered his head. "I wanna find out if I do."
This answer caught my attention as I stopped teasing Lync and looked into his eyes. At first I was suspicious but I could tell from his reaction that he was serious about having feelings for Alice.
"I'm not gonna get inside her mind and tell you what she's thinking," I informed Lync, "that's something only Alice can talk to you about only if she trusts you." I left Lync to think about what I told him and went to Kisa as she and Alice finished up training on Bakugan brawling.
"Okay Neyla she can hold her own in a brawl now," Alice reported to me. "But it's not up to me to decide that."
"You did all you could do; that's all I can ask you," I said to Alice. "Thanks Alice for a great job."
Alice smiled as she noticed Lync walking towards her while he was talking to his new Bakugan. Alice smiled and walked over to Lync as she hugged him. Kisa and I just watched them hug each other while Fang took this opportunity to get back in her mobile suit body.
"Ahem," I said to Lync and Alice getting them out of their lovey-dovey daze, "Kisa and I are returning; let me know if you need a lift to Tokyo."
"Um, okay," said Alice. "Just make sure she gets enough practice with the other Brawlers."
"Check," I said to Alice.
"Sorry but I take cash only," Kisa said behind me as I showed my fangs with my "what the hell?" look.
I snapped out of my upset look and motioned Kisa to board Fang so we could return to Tokyo.
3rd Person POV
After the Fang Murasame left, Lync put his arm around Alice and both of them kissed each other and stayed liked that for a minute. After the minute was up, they pulled apart, blushing and apologizing to each other. They turned their backs and thought about what just happened between them.
"Listen I'm sorry about that," Lync said sheepishly.
"That's uh… okay," said Alice as her face was turned light red from blushing. After settling down, both of them walked back to Alice's house where her grandfather was waiting her and Lync.
