Casper: I'm back with chapter four! And Now it is time to here from Lync!
Lync: What?
Casper: Say something *elbows Lync*
Lync: Go away!
Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan only my OCs.
Dan, Runo and Lync…
"What are we looking for anyway?" Lync asked again.
"I told you before. We need to find a 'mate' for Devina so her father doesn't end up marrying her off to some jerk." Runo snapped at Lync.
Lync jumped back, "Ok!" he squeaked.
"Ah!" Dan yelled falling out of a tree, "I don't know how we are meant to find Devina a guy this way." He said standing up.
"You're right." Runo sighed.
Marucho, Ace and Barron…
"Hey!" Ace called to some guy, "How old are you?" he asked.
"Beat it kid!" the man said rudely and walked off.
"This is never going to work!" Barron complained.
Marucho nodded, "Yeah. Maybe we should check one of those dating websites if this doesn't work." He sighed, "I wonder how the others are doing?" he asked himself.
Gus, Keith and Devina…
Devina was getting stressed. She wasn't looking where she was going until she walked into a pole, "Ouch." She said falling backwards anime style.
"Are you ok?" Keith asked helping her up.
"That must have hurt." Gus stated the obvious.
Devina shook her head, "I'm fine." She laughed.
"You sure?" Gus asked, "You are acting a little odd." He muttered.
"I said I'm fine!" Devina snapped and slapped her mouth, Oh crap! I wonder if Adel is feeling the side effects yet. She thought to herself.
"What's wrong with you?" Keith asked pulling her arm, "I know something is wrong." He said firmly.
Devina looked away, "It's nice that you guys are helping with this. But there are some things that even you can't do anything about." She said very coldly and shrugged out of Keith's grip.
"Devina." Keith said.
Shun, Adel and Hydron…
Adel looked around, she placed her hand on her face, "Ah!" she said.
"What?" Shun asked.
"Nothing!" Adel said clenching her hand and opening it again, "Dam it hurts." She thought out loud.
'What hurts?" Hydron asked.
Shun took Adel's hand, and looked at her, "You feel like you have just been through a blizzard!" she said. Adel's whole body was freezing despite how sunny it was.
Adel started to shake a little, then a lot and fell to the ground, "Damn!" she yelled as everything began to go blurry, "Damn it." She said just before everything went blank.
Dan, Runo and Lync…
"Hello." Dan said answering his phone, "What! Ok we'll be right over." He said and hung up, "Adel collapsed." He said and the three of them ran back to Marucho's house.
Marucho, Ace and Barron…
Marucho, Ace and Barron had gotten the same news and were already at Marucho's house again.
Hey saw Devina, Keith and Gus running towards them now to.
"What happened to Adel?" Devina growled. It wasn't like Devina to growl at someone.
Barron jumped back; Devina's growl was a lot more vicious than Adel's.
"What's wrong with you?" Keith asked grabbing Devina's arm and shaking her slightly. Devina shook her head and sweat started to break out on her for head. She fell to one knee. Keith grabbed her upper arms to keep her up right, "What's wrong Devina?" he asked again.
"I-I Adel and me, w-we." But she collapsed before she could finish her sentence.
Keith picked Devina up bridal style and carried her inside.
Inside one of the spear rooms…
Adel and Devina both lay down on separate beds. Adel was freezing so they had to keep her wrapped up and warm, were as Devina was burning.
"I'll need to run some tests on their blood work to see if I can at least guess what's wrong with them." Marucho said.
"Adel wouldn't like that if she was awake." Dan said, his arms crossed.
"Was Adel acting strange in any way while you guys were looking?" Runo asked.
"She was saying that her hand was hurting, and when I grabbed it was almost like she had just been through a blizzard." Shun said looking into the room at the two unconscious girls.
"And just before we got inside Devina started acting very aggressively." Keith said looking at Marucho who was nodding.
"Ok, I'll go see if there are any illnesses that match those symptoms, but until then this whole place is under quarantine." Marucho declared.
Back in the lounge room…
"What?" Everyone complained.
"Quarantine?" Barron whined.
"If this is some sort of virus, then there is a chance that any one of us could have been infected." Gus raised his voice over all the talking.
"He's right you know." Ace muttered, "Any one of us could have been infected."
"Ok first I want to see all of those who came in direct contact with Adel or Devina." Marucho clapped his hands.
"I grabbed Adel's arm." Shun said.
"I shook her hand." Hydron sighed.
"I carried Devina into the house." Keith said.
"Ok you three first." Marucho ushered form them to follow him.
In the lab…
"Here are the blood results for the two girls." A man in white said suggesting to the computer screen.
"Thank you." Marucho said and the man left.
Marucho, Keith, Shun and Hydron looked at the screen.
"What is that?" Shun exclaimed pointing at something that looked like it was eating away at the DNA on the blood.
"I don't know I haven't seen anything like it before?" Marucho looked closely at the screen.
"Master Marucho. One of the girls are awake!" a man bust into the room panting.
Marucho, Shun, Keith and Hydron ran over to the room.
At the spear room…
Adel struggled to sit up.
Shun was the first one to run over, "You shouldn't be trying to get up." He said supporting Adel's back with one hand.
"Devina. Where?" She looked over, "crap!" she muttered.
"She collapsed just outside the house." Keith explained, "And she got really aggressive too." He said and saw the shock in Adel's face.
"Ha. Side effect I guess." Adel muttered sitting up right.
"What do mean side effect?" Marucho asked.
Adel shook her head, "You idiot! Don't you remember how I said I don't trust people, because all they want to do is run tests on us like rats?" she hissed at little.
"So you are saying…" Hydron muttered, "That this is all because someone had run tests on the two of you?"
Adel sighed, "Yeah. And I bet the same thing is happening to my sisters as well because they went through the same thing." She looked down, "My sisters Noelle and Alera." She muttered.
"Wait you have two other sisters who could be going through the same thing?" Shun asked.
Adel nodded, she didn't look up at him, "Yeah. But they are all the way in England!" she said.
"Well that's not a problem! Kato can go pick them up." Marucho said clapping his hands and shifting his glasses a little.
Adel shot up out of her bed, "I have to go then to." She said firmly.
"But you can hardly stand." Shun suggested to Adel still griping the side of the bed.
"I don't care! They are my sisters and they won't exactly go peacefully with a bunch of strangers!" Adel snapped.
"But the whole house is under quarantine." Keith said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Ha! Don't think that you can catch what we got! You would have to have the same or similar ability's as us!" Adel smirked a little.
"What really?" Hydron asked.
Adel nodded, "Let me go get them. They trust me and besides me when I say this, but my sister Noelle is a hell of a lot more aggressive than I am." She laughed at their shocked faces.
"Fine but I'm coming with you." Shun said helping Adel to stand up right. He smiled. Adel didn't show any emotion, she just gave him an empty stare.
On the plane…
Adel was sitting down next to Shun, her head was in her hands and her elbows rested on her knees. She felt like she was going to be sick, "God damn it." She muttered.
"You ok?" Shun asked putting his hand on her back.
Adel shook her head, "Dose it look like I'm ok?" she grunted.
"He was just asking you know!" Barron, who had decided to come with them, said in defiance, "Don't snap at Master Shun just because you don't feel good." He said, "Ah why don't you feel good?" he asked suddenly forgetting the whole reason she was in an even worse mood.
Adel looked at Barron through her finders, she rolled her eyes, "Oie!" she sighed letting her head droop back down.
Back at the house…
"Is there anything we can do?" Keith asked.
"She looks like her head going to pop soon." Ace said looking at Devina.
Devina had brock out into a cold sweat, her fever had risen, her breathing had become uneven and she kept switching from human to wolf every five minutes.
"I'm not sure. I have never seen this kind of thing before?" Marucho said a little painted.
Keith looked back at Devina, If she doesn't get better soon, what will happen when her father comes looking for her? He thought.
"Keith." Mia said snapping Keith's attention back into reality, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked.
Keith nodded and they walked outside, "What did you need?" he asked.
"It's not what I need it's what you need." She said, "I can tell that just seeing Devina like that, it's making you upset." She muttered.
"I'm fine. Really." Keith said back to Mira.
"No, you're not. You're my brother, I can tell when something is bothering you." She said crossing her arms over her chest, "You can't stand seeing her in pain can you?" she finally asked.
Keith paused to think, there was point in trying to argue with Mira on this, so after a while he finally said, "I guess since I've gotten to know her better she has become another friend, so yes I can't stand seeing her in pain like that." He looked away.
Back on the plane…
About an hour and a half had passed when Kato finally announced, "We're here. Welkom to England."
"Thanks!" Adel yelled as went to run off, but because of her condition she just fell face first onto the floor.
Shun quickly went to help her up, "Are you ok?" he asked.
"Ouch." She muttered, "That hurt." She rubbed her nose, "I'm fine now." She said standing back up. Adel took about five feet before she had to grab onto Shun's top to stop herself falling over again.
"You really shouldn't have come." Shun said helping Adel regain her balance, "You're gonna fall over one day and hurt yourself really badly." He said, Shun grabbed Adel's arm and put it around his neck to help support her.
"Thanks." She muttered and they walked off the plane.
Barron followed behind them closely, "Adel, what do your sisters look like?" Barron asked running up beside Adel.
Adel looked at him, "Why?" she asked.
"Well if we are going to help you find them don't you think we should know what they look like?" He smiled.
Adel nodded, she spoke as they walked, "Noelle has shoulder length grey-white hair and gold eyes, and in her wolf form her fur is grey-white and her eyes are still golden." She said taking in a deep breath as they passed a gas station, "Man I hate that smell." She coughed as they passed it, "Alera had long dark sandy red hair and light blue eyes like a bright sunny morning. So she is I guess a bit of an odd one, because she is a red wolf with blue eyes." Del smiled to herself. The first real smile she had ever made, or that Shun and Barron had ever seen.
"I guess talking about your sisters makes you happy." Shun smiled.
Adel blushed when she realised she was smiling still, "Uh, yeah." She muttered looked around and sniffing the air.
"I don't get why your sisters would be in England?" Barron asked, "There are no trees or woods to hid in." he scratched his head.
"No but there are plenty of people to his yourself. That's what Noelle says anyway."
"I still don't get it?" Barron shrugged.
Adel stopped, pulling Shun to top and making Barron look at her confused, Adel lifted her head and sniffed the air, "They're close." She whispered.
Back at the house…
Dan watched over Marucho's shoulder as he worked and Runo and Julie kept trying to explain the defence between a ham burger and a cheese burger to Lync and Hydron.
Keith passed at the end of Devina's bed, "Wake up." He muttered.
Devina turned wolf again and back again, she was getting worse be the second. Devina let out a small whimper that wasn't human or wolf, she opened her eyes and grunted a little, "Damn." She whispered.
Keith looked at her and ran over, "You're awake!" he almost yelled.
Devina rolled onto her back and looked up at him, "Yeah." She muttered.
"Do you want me to go get Marucho?" he asked.
Devina shook her head, "Just kill me." She whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks, "It hurts to much." She muttered.
Keith didn't know what to say. When he finally did find something to say Gus walked into the room and just stared at Devina.
"She is awake and I'm not dreaming this right?" he asked walking over.
"She is." Keith sat down on the bed next to Devina. She tried to sit up but Keith just grabbed her shoulders a little and gave her a little push back down.
Devina's breathing was still uneven and husky and her eyes were blood shot. She fever was so high that no one dared to put their hand on her for head anymore and she whole body tumbled, "I'm gonna die." She stated as a fact not a question, "And there is nothing you can do to stop it." She said turning to face the roof, "I want a quick death." She said more to herself than to Keith or Gus.
In England…
Shun, Adel and Barron had walked into an ally way, there was no one in sight, "Are you sure they are here?" Barron asked.
Adel nodded, "Noelle, Alera!" She called. When no one answered Adel shook her head, "I know you're there, I can smell you." She hissed.
The next thing they knew a wolf had jumped out from behind a trash can, it's eyes were light blue and it's fur was dark red.
"Alear." Adel smiled, she let go of Shun ad knelt down, patting her sister's head, "Where is Noelle" she asked.
Alera shook Adel hand away and shifted to her human form. Now, a young girl with dark red hair and light blue eyes sat where the wolf once did, she wore a dark red strapless top with black shorts and long knee high black boot's like Adel, "She's sick." She muttered in a low sweet sounding voice, the complete opposite of Adel.
"I know. So am I and Devina too, we need you and Noelle to come with us." Adel said gently stroking Alera's hair.
Shun and Barron was both surprised at how different Adel sounded when she was being kind to someone else.
Alera looked at Shun and Barron, she smiled at her sister and nodded, "C'mon." she said standing up. But before she could lead the way she ran over to Barron and Shun, "Are you Adel's friends?" she asked.
"Yeah." Barron smiled.
"I guess so." Shun said.
"That's really cool! Adel never had many friends be…" Adel had wrapped her arm around Arian's mouth.
"They don't need to know that." She snapped, no in the way she would snap at Hydron, but in a more friendly way.
"C'mon show us where Noelle is." Adel said letting her sister go.
"Ok but she not looking to good." She said.
When the got to the house where Noelle and Alera had been staying, Adel almost fainted at what she saw.
