** Shoutout to NiniilVioleta and the Random Person that keeps reviewing! :D Let's play the review game, guys! /shot. And like I said in chapter seven, I SUCK AT DESCRIBING BATTLES. Hint hint. **
*~ Let's leave together. ~*
The battle with Lync and Alice was in a tight squeeze. Just when Lync thought he could finish the Darkus Brawler in one move, she opened her Gate Card, and the surprise waiting for him and Aluze was yet to come.
"Gate Card, Open!" the girl commanded, causing a rectangular barrier to envelope them. Darkness oozed out, like vines crawling down the lengths of a tree, or a snake coiling around its prey. "Darkus Reflector!"
The dark substance wrapped around Aluze, until the mecha was glowing a dark purple. Lync, out of worry, checked his gauntlet, and was awestricken. "Our powers levels are matched at 500?" he wondered aloud quietly, "what the hell happened?"
Alice laughed, Alpha Hydranoid sharing triumphant noise –jeering with her. "Don't you see? Darkus Reflector switches the effect of ability cards! I lose points then it will reverse it so you lose points!" She called out. It might have been hard to hear, considering the darkness made low humming, gurgling noises.
Apparently Lync didn't hear it, after all. He set two ability cards in his Gauntlet just to prove it. Ability Cards, Set. The Gauntlet glowed green as he held it up, hastening a command. "Double Ability Activate! Blaster Bind plus Air Lance!"
Aluze screeched as its lasers built up power, and shot full throttle at Hydranoid. Then, it leapt forward, flying at a dangerous pace, then striking the dragon. The energy of both attacks were absorbed by the Gate Card, and Lync was in dismay at the power stat levels currently.
Alpha Hydranoid: 700 G's.
Ventus Aluze: 300 G's.
"How is that possible?" he wondered. Sadly, he failed to see past the gatecard's trap. He had very few ability cards left, and decided to play a fusion ability, moreso his only fusion ability.
"Fusion Ability Activate! Aero Aegis!"
Aluze screeched again, sending out nostalgic sonic waves, that surrounded Hydranoid and Alice. Alice looked around, then looked at the Gate Card that was still in play. It sucked up the waves, and the ability was nullified.
"Lync, I can't believe you can't see what this Gate Card is doing!" Alice scolded. The pinket snarled, not amused by the playful expression on the ginger girl's face. In that instant, he played one of his last two ability cards. "Ability, Activate! Drive Storm!"
Aluze began flapping its metallic wings, causing gales of wind to blow, destroying the Gate Card. Then, both of the Bakugan reverted to their original power levels, but in that instant, Alpha Hydranoid lost 300 quantitives of the power level!
"Oh no!" Alice cried out, seeing that if Aluze hit too hard, she would lose.
"Yes! Go Aluze, attack!"
"I don't think so! Hydranoid, hang in there! Ability Activate!" Alice's second to last card was now being played, "Final Demolition!"
The three-headed beast roared as it glowed, raising its G Level up by a mere 100, but it was enough to stay in this thing. It collided with Aluze, but it was Hydranoid that rebounded, and roared as it reverted back into ball form. Alice was a bit dejected, her eyes sad as her life gauge went down rapidly.
Alice Life Force at 20%.
She was down, at a worse rate than Lync. Watching Aluze return to Lync, they both locked eyes fiercely, both determined to win.
They were both down to their last ability card.
"Gate Card, Set!" Alice cried out, not even waiting a second. The card dissolved into their battle arena, sunk into the frozen grass. Both Brawlers had their Gauntlets poised, and their Bakugan in hand. In a fluid, symmetrical motion, they both tossed their Bakugan onto the field. "Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Bakugan, Stand!" they both beckoned. The Mechanical Aluze screeched the loudest battle cry yet, while Hydranoid growled fiercely.
"We're winning, right here, right now!"
It was a countdown. No more than three seconds of loading their cards into the Gauntlet, both Brawlers cried out their last ability. "Ability Card, Activate!"
"Lash and Blast Extreme!"
"Sky Impact!"
Aluze glowed a cyan green, and shot up into the sky, spiraling as it positioned to swoop down upon Hydranoid. Alpha Hydranoid glowed black, roaring as it strengthed itself up, ready to uppercut Aluze. Simultaneously, the two creatures shot forward, ready to attack. In that instant, Alice cried out, "Gate Card, Open! Elemental Equilizer!"
No one honestly payed attention to the Gate Card, although its effect would soon be evident. They were only lengths away from hitting each other, with their Brawlers watching in anticipation to see which one would fall out first. Chronic screams and harmonized roars battled each other, both wanting to outwit each other. Time was almost at a stand still, when both Bakugan finally collided. There was an explosion, which caused sonic gales and booms to spread. Lync's jacket flew behind him, and Alice's skirt was ruffled violently; both results of the collision. Once the smoke cleared, they saw, to their dismay, both of their Bakugan in ball form on the ground.
"Aluze!"
"Hydranoid!"
The Darkus and Ventus Brawler both retrieved their Bakugan, and checked their Gauntlets to see who won.
Alice and Lync Life Force at 0%. Draw.
"A draw?!" both trainers cried out, not expecting that at all. Surely one of them should have won. But that wasn't so, they both lost, and no clear winner was decided. Lync looked up at Alice, and time resumed again.
"Nice Battle, Alice."
"You too, Lync, I guess I underestimated you." She smiled coyly, then opening her arms. "Consolation hug."
Lync hesitated slightly, but gave into that feeling, and reached forward to wrap his lanky arms around Alice. She was soft and warm, and he smiled, loving that about her.
"There's just one problem." Alice muttered quietly, softly letting go of the pinket.
"And what would that be?"
"What will the townsfolk think when they see half of these trees have been destroyed?!"
