Well, it's been a while but I'm back. I won't waste any space with pointless words so here is chapter 4.
I don't own Bakugan. Sam, Didy, Samson, Darkus Shadow Raider, and V are mine.
Chapter 4 - Trust
After demolishing Shuji, Sam returns to the control center. As he enters everyone looks at him and the room becomes silent.
"You all look like you have something to say." Sam says to the group.
Marucho looks at the screen on the desk.
"Well, we all watched the end of your brawl with Shuji and..."
"It's caused us to question the quality of your character." Fabia interjects.
"So what if he couldn't handle my power." Sam responds.
"That's not it. Frankly, we think you're a little too dangerous in battle." Shun adds.
Sam walks up to Shun.
"Wanna test your theory?"
Just then an alarm sounds. Marucho taps some keys on the keyboard and an image of Ren and some others comes on screen.
"Ren!" Marucho exclaims.
Ren holds out his hand and some kids dissapear from in front of him.
"What just...?" Dan asks.
"He's taking children back to Gundalia with him to fight!" Fabia answers.
"He's toast!" Dan replies.
The Brawlers confront Ren and his group.
"Knock it off Ren!" Dan yells.
"Heh, look who showed up." says the tall, blond, brutish looking man.
"You got some nerve showing your face around here Ren! You got no business here! Do ya hear me you creep?" Dan continues to yell.
"Actually you're wrong Dan, very wrong." Ren replies.
He turns to his group.
"Let's go."
"Wait a minute!" Dan calls out.
Two brawlers in battle outfits drop in front of Dan. A blond girl in blue and a blue haired guy in light green.
"Actually, you'll be battling with us!"
"I recognize you two. You guys are Casey and Taylor!" Marucho says.
"You know them?" Dan asks.
"Yeah, they're two of our top brawlers." Marucho answers.
Sam notices as Fabia sneaks away from the group. Sam backs up slowly and sneaks around a corner then takes off running.
Just then two more brawlers step out behind the group. A girl with long green hair in a tank top and shorts, and a boy with short brown hair in a zipped up blue hoodie and jeans.
"Who are you?" Didy asks.
"I'm Jordan and she's Carrie. We'll be taking you to see Master Barodius." the boy replies.
"Not without a fight you're not!" Samson shouts.
"You said it!" Didy adds.
V floats up between Didy and Samson.
"Aww yeah! Bring it on! We're gonna whup you so bad you won't know what happened! We're gonna kick your sorry butts all the way from here to Gundalia, through Neathia, back to Earth and..."
"V! Shut up!" Didy interrupts.
"Okay! Okay!"
Elsewhere after Sam snuck off, he comes across something on the ground.
Sam's POV
Hmm? What's this? It looks like a bakugan...but it's all grayed out. Who would leave it in an alley? It doesn't look like it belongs to anyone and I don't have the time to find it's owner, so I'll hold on to it for now.
End Sam's POV
Sam continues running, all the while trying to figure out where Ren could be. As Sam runs around a corner he almost collides with Fabia but finds himself in the air, flipped by her. Reacting quickly, Sam rolls and plants his feet when he hits the ground.
"Just what are you doing?" Sam says.
"Sorry...I thought you were a Gundalian." Fabia answers.
"...Whatever, since were both here let's just look for Ren." Sam responds.
"Why should I go anywhere with you?"
There's a brief moment of silence.
"You don't have to...I don't even expect you to." Sam answers.
"Huh?" Fabia exclaims as she blinks in confusion.
"I know that you and the rest of them don't trust me...to be honestly I don't trust you either. But logically thinking, we bothe have a common goal for the moment..." Sam finishes as he takes off running.
After a few seconds Fabia catches up to Sam.
"Alright, let's find Ren."
Sam nods in reply.
Back in the battle arena Samson and Didy are about to begin their brawl against Jordan and Carrie.
"Bakugan Field Open!"
"Gate card Set!" Didy shouts as he throws down a gate card.
"Bakugan Brawl! V stand!" 650g
"Bakugan Brawl! Aquos Luxtor stand!" 700g
Jordan shouts as a blue bakugan that looks like a cross between a slug and a caterpillar with three eyes in a triangle.
"Bakugan Brawl! Subterra Jetro stand!" 720g
Carrie shouts as a brown four-legged creature with an almost bug-like head with two fin-like attatchments on its head fanning out to the sides.
"Time to try this guy out. Bakugan Brawl!" Samson says as he throws out his new pyrus bakugan.
A large reddish-brown dragonoid bakugan with a long tail, powerful legs and a beast-like air about it standing hunched over emerges. 1000g
"Who calls upon the power of Pyrus Quake Dragonoid?" the bakugan roars.
"Whoa! He's big!" exclaims Samson.
"And strong!" adds Didy.
Quake Dragonoid looks at Samson and his eyes widen.
"What? My first fight in years and I'm called into battle by a mere child?" he roars in disbelief.
"Uhh..." is all Samson can respond with.
"Let's go V! Ability Activate! Staff Crush!"
V's power increases to 700g
"Ya-yaaa!" V shouts as he jumps at Luxtor, staff glowing.
"Ha! Bad choice! Ability Activate! Metal Breakthrough!" shouts Jordan.
V's power returns to base level and he strike Luxtor, who is now encased in a coat of metal.
"Whoa! That didn't work!" V says while vibrating.
"My turn! Ability Activate! Flash Storm!" Carrie calls out.
V's power decreases to 250g and Jetro fires a brown light blast at him.
"Look out V!" Didy shouts..
"Hey!" yells V as he dodges the blast.
"Lets try to out speed them. Ability Activate! Flame Accelerator!" Samson calls out.
Quake glows red for a few seconds but then the aura shatters.
"What? Why are you rejecting the ability?" Samson asks Quake Dragonoid.
"I listen to no human. Especially not a child." Quake Dragonoid replies.
Then he charges at the enemies.
"How do you expect to win if your bakugan won't even listen to you? Ability Activate! Eye-ray Hammer!" Jordan shouts.
Luxtor's power increases to 900g. Its eye glows, shooting a heavy blast at Quake Dragonoid who does not even flinch.
"What!" Jordan exclaims.
Quake Dragonoid spins around and swings his tail, hitting both Luxtor and Jetro. Both bakugan return to ball form.
'Carrie and Jordan life force 60%'
"Come on!" growls Carrie.
"Whoa! He's strong!" Samson states in pure amazement.
"Alright, that won't happen again! Gate card set!" Jordan yells.
"Bakugan Brawl!"
All combatants throw their bakugan into battle.
"Lets try this again" Samson says to himself.
"Let's focus an the big one. Ability Activate! Flash Storm!" yells Carrie.
Quake Dragonoid's power decreases to 600g and Jetro fires at him.
Samson reddies an ability card.
"Okay then. Ability Act-"
"Save your breath puny one!" Quake Dragonoid interupts.
He charges at his opponents.
"Ha! Not gonna happen! Gate card open! Land Pressure!" yells Jordan.
Quake Dragonoid and V are immobilized by the increased gravity on the field.
"Let's get 'em! Ability Activate! Max Quake!" Carrie calls out.
Jetro's power increases to 920g and it easily defeats V.
"Ability Activate! Eye-ray Hammer!" shouts Jordan.
Its power increases to 900g and it blasts Quake Dragonoid back into ball form.
'Didy life force 50%, Samson life force 60%'
"Dang it! Okay, V, time to go on the offensive." Didy says to his partner bakugan.
"Straight up!" V replies.
"Gate card set!" shouts Samson.
"Bakugan Brawl!"
All throw their bakugan in.
"Ability Activate! Gale Blow" Didy yells.
V's power increases to 750g and he fires a tornado blast at Luxtor lowering its power to 650g.
"Ability Activate! Staff Crush" Didy calls out.
"Eat this!" V yells.
V's power increases to 800g and he jumps at Luxtor.
"Gotcha! Ability Activate! Metal Breakthrough!" Jordan shouts.
Luxtor: 700g
Verias: 650g
Luxtor rams V.
"Bullocks!" V yells as he returns to ball mode.
'Didy life force zero'
"Man! Its all up to you now Samson" Didy says.
"I'll make you pay for beating me, worms." Quake Dragonoid roars as he starts charging.
"Hold it!" Samson shouts.
"Hmm?" Quake Dragonoid stops and glares back at Samson
"Listen up. We lost last round because you wouldn't listen to me. Now I know you don't like to listen to anyone for some reason but I don't care. We're in a battle right now. You're a bakugan and I'm your brawler, so its time you acted accordingly!" Samson says with a look of sheer determination on his face.
Quake Dragonoid growls quietly.
"Very well...let's see what you can do." he says.
A card starts glowing in Samson's hand. He looks at it and grins.
"Alright Quake, let's go! Gate card open! Element Merge!" he calls out.
Quake's power increases to 1200g while Jetro decreases to 600g and Luxtor to 620g.
"Special Ability Activate! Dragonoid Earthquake! Samson yells.
Quake increases to 1400g and he stomps the ground creating fissures that catch the opposing bakugan and return them to ball form.
'Carrie and Jordan life force zero'
Quake returns to Samson's hand.
"That was awesome!" Samson exclaims.
"You are a bit better than I thought. It seems I underestimated you. Just maybe, you could be worthy enough. I think I'll stick around to find out...for now." Quake says to Samson.
Meanwhile Sam and Fabia are running side by side trying to figure out where Ren is.
Suddenly something clicks is Sam's mind and he makes an unexpected turn onto a different path.
After a few seconds Fabia catches up to him.
"Where are you going?" she asks.
"Think about it. This Ren guy helped Marucho make this place right? So where would someone with that much knowledge of how the Interspace operates go?" Sam replies.
"The control room!"
"Exactly. I have a feeling he's gonna try to kick us out."
Just then, Sam and Fabia are transported out of Bakugan Interspace allong with the rest of the Battle Brawlers. When Sam and Didy materialize in the transporter room they notice that Dan and Jake are there as well
"What's going on man?" Jake asks.
"I have no clue." Dan replies.
At that moment Ren appears on all the Brawlers bakumeters.
"Allow me to explain. Bakugan Interspace is now under my sole control."
Please read and review, I want any feedback you cand give me. I went back and edited/cleaned up all previous chapters, so feel free to go back and reread the old material with the new changes. Also I have chapters 5-8 ready to be typed up so stay tuned for Chapter 5 - Rising Shadows.
