One day, all these cards started falling from the sky, like rain, or frogs. Together with my friends on an awesome Twilight forum, we created a FAR-OUT game, and for a while it seemed like harmless nonsensical fun. But on National Bakugan Day when the beasts within started slapfighting, we knew they weren't harmless.
My name's Dan. Together with my friends Runo, Marucho, Julie, not to mention Mr. Coolshot himself Shun, and Alice, we are...the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!
Bakugan! One goal, two worlds!
A, a-a, a-a, TWO worlds COL-LIDE! On the inside! Gone, gone, gone, this is Bakugan!
Episode Twelve
Bakugan Stall
Today we look back on Huaraz, Peru, a city which now looks nearly totally unremarkable thanks to the intense urbanization and mostly-sameness. A bunch of people stared into the MewMew Brawlers Little White Rabbit cafe, mostly perverted men.
"I'll be right with you..." a shy, shy, so very shy voice mumbled.
"Aaaaahhh," crowds of grown men swooned.
Alice, dressed in a skimpy maid outfit, struggled to keep up with the customers. "One low-fat espresso for you boys," she said in a hard-to-hear voice.
"Espresso, right!" some fat boy said, taking a lil' cup and drinking some. Then he fainted on the table.
"Hey, do you hear the fire alarm?" another minor cried.
"No, why?"
"'Cuz yer smokin'!"
"Smokin' HOT!" the others chimed in.
"Aah!" Alice tiptoed away.
This was the perfect time to think, I wonder if I told Runo that Grandfather Michael is also Hal G. Boy, what a tale! No, think shy thoughts! Oh, I wish I could tell someone...
At the counter, some glasses-wearing guy said to real coffee-making Fabio, "Hey, that waitress of yours sure is good fer business! Makes up for the food, ya know!"
"If-a you mean business by sex, you're-a right-a!" Fabio replied with a hearty laugh. "But-a seriously-a, don't-a tell my dear Runo-a. The skimpy clothing-a doesn't-a seem-a to be-a working as much-a as it used to-a, if-a you know what I mean-a."
At the sink not far away, Runo was washing dishes...and she looked so darn giddy! She washed dishes way too quickly, and with real style, too!
"Runo, might I ask what is wrong?" Halo Tiger asked from her pocket. "You seem a little too...cheery."
"It's just that I'm so excited, because oh my GAAAAAWD Shun's joining our team! He might be a little weird, but hey, Shun!"
"Where was I when all of this happened?"
"Hey, Runo--"
One of her cups broke as it hit the ground.
"...Hey, just...wanted to talk about...something," Alice said. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, nothing! It's just oh my GAAAAAWD something AWESOME is gonna happen on the chatroom tonight! Better keep it a secret so that you can find out right when it happens because it's just so...oh my GAWD this is so SWEET!"
"Can we talk about something?"
"Oh my GAW -- yeah, we can talk."
At Shun's cool house...
Waaamp wooooomp WEEEEEEMP wooooooomp
The worst flute in the shape of a leaf you've ever heard played. Shun was playing it, sitting on the pointy roof somehow, looking at the ever-full moon as usual. He was wearing a purple coat-type thing over a black shirt tonight. He felt tempted to break the thing in half. "Man, I'll NEVER get good at playing this thing!" he groaned.
"Hey, Shun! Even more weird crap, coming soon!" It was Hammy the Hamster, sitting on his shoulder. "Hey, what's wrong? You haven't spoken to the brawlers yet. Why?"
"I don't have their IP address, so even if I wanted to..."
"Oh, that's too bad. Try to find it somewhere!" Hammy chirped.
"Good idea."
At Dan's house...
"DAN RANKED AT NUMBER 532."
Dan scanned the Bakugan leaderboards, which were mysteriously tracked by who-knows-what. "How'd Runo get up here so fast?" he wondered aloud. "And at number one is a big jerk! Named Mask the Money! And Shun, you're really lettin' yourself go, at 613th place! What the heeeeeck?"
"So Shun used to be number one?" Drago said from the table.
"Yeah...until he DROPPED HIS MARBLES and never bothered to pick 'em back up again. I heard a rumor he's quitting Bakugan."
"WHAT!?"
And then we flashbacked.
"I remember the first time I met Shun. It was on the Internet! I found some guy when Bakugans started falling down from the sky. We laid down the rules! And everyone followed them! EVERYONE!"
"How about for the Air Vent attribute, we invent a Backdraft ability which does thus and so, and then a Triple Kettle ability which does thus and so, and then a blah ba blah ba blah?" Shun said over a private chat.
Dan gave a thumbs-up.
"And then they were the rules, because we said they were! But then, RIGHT in the middle of a jam session, he logged off...FOREVER."
"What cards ya got today, Shun?"
"Sorry, I'm...too COOL for this." Shun logged off. FOREVER.
"It's like he changed when his mom went into the hospital. Why would that ever happen to anybody? Personality changes after trauma? Ha!"
"Dan, you're stupid."
Back on Shun's pointy roof...
"Shun, stop beating yourself up!" Skyress demanded. "And stop talking to Hammy the Hamster! He doesn't exist! He's giving me the creeps! And nobody gives ME the creeps!"
"Quiet, I'm deep in thought."
"F-f-f-fine! But don't take this as an act of inferiority! Hmph!" The Bakugan rolled away.
Beep...beep...beep...beep...went the steady beat of the machine.
Shun sat alone with his mother in a hospital room.
"Shun...you...came..." she said weakly. Once a powerful and strong woman, his mother had since fallen into weakness, sickness and, soon, death.
"Mother...is there anything you want me to do for you?" Shun said.
"Oh...yes...there is...something."
"What is it, mother?"
"It's...in my...purse," she choked out. "I...think...you'll like it."
"But...mother, you know I don't want anything. I don't need it. I'm too cool for that."
"I...know that. That's always your excuse. Too cool for this...too cool for...that..." his mother said wistfully. "But sometimes a mother gives her children things...because she...wants to. She just...wants to make them...happy. You are...not...too cool for this." She struggled to smile. "Now...go home and...open my purse, and...with luck you'll...come back in time to see my smile then."
"Don't think like that!"
"Oh, you shouldn't say that. I'll...be done in a few days at best, you and the doctors...know that full and well."
"...Okay, mother." Shun and his mother exchanged a hug, perhaps their last.
I wish mother would stop not caring for herself and...care for herself instead of me! She KNOWS I'm cool enough to last on my own out in the world!
A single flower petal blew onto the table.
Shun used to live with his divorced mother in a cheap apartment. Things were hard, but they were good enough. Now things were uncertain.
"Shun!" a familiar voice boomed, hurting the boy's ears. His grandfather was on the television/phone screen. "Your house is about to me under MY control now! SO watch out, because I'm MEEEEEEEEEAN!!"
"Nobody's the boss of me! Not even my mom, because I'm too cool for that!" He burst through the door, forgot to lock it behind him, and headed straight for the elevator.
Floor eight...seven...six...the broken elevator went back up to nine...
Shun slammed his hands against the cheap wooden doors, almost breaking them.
I'M TOO COOL FOR THIS, ****IT!! I CAN LIVE ON MY OWN, ****IT!! AND IF ANYONE'S GOING TO STOP ME, I'LL BE ****ED, ****IT!!
Out the door to the hospital he went.
Beep...beep...beep...beep...
His mother was wearing an oxygen mask now. An army of doctors and nurses looked over her.
"It looks like...she's stabilized," a nurse said.
"...Shun..." she said in her sleep.
The only thing between me and my mother, Shun thought, standing at the crosswalk, is this 'DON'T WALK' sign! And she's gonna LIVE, ****it!
The people walked.
All except for Shun.
Because Dan was there, too.
"Hey, Shun!" Dan grabbed a starting-to-walk Shun by the arm.
"What!?" he snapped.
"Hey, don't get so snappy! Where've you been? Mom's in the hospital? What a bummer! Oh well, no time for that now! Let's get in the roof of Momo and start a brawl up there, because never have I had the pleasure of brawling you IN PERSON!' Without hesitation, Dan pulled him toward the tallest tower in all of Your Town.
"Wait! Urgh! I'll say this once, and I'll say this many times more! I'M TOO COOL FOR THIS!!"
"Don't worry, Shun! Battles don't add time, remember?"
"Oh, phew. Fine, I'll battle."
"But the elevator ride's gonna be long, so sit tight!"
"Wait! I want out!"
"Whoops, too late!"
Within moments they were on the top of Momo Inc.'s headquarters of Your Town, Japan. Apparently, they were both ready to brawl.
"Field, open!"
They appeared in another dimension. Shun hoped not for long. Why did he bring his Bakugan here again? Who knows? Kids bring them around everywhere these days.
"Gate card, set!"
NYEEEEOWWWWWWW SHWOO-OO-OOP!
They both landed from twenty feet in the air without injury, as usual. "Look what I have here!" Dan began a stupid taunt. "It's your name, "Shun", but it's spelled out "Loser"! That works so much better in other languages, just trust me on that one!"
"It's times like this when I hate your attitude!"
"Too bad! Hwuh!"
NYEEEEOWWWWWWW SHWOO-OO-OOP! went another gate card.
"Bakugan Brawl! Rhinozoid, stand!" An unremarkable rhino I'm sure you all know by now, now stood there waiting for something to do. "Take THIS on for size. Heh heh!"
"Bakugan Brawl! Falcon...er, Raven...er, wh-wh-whatever your name is, just get out here and brawl."
Moldy Raven emerged, a green man-bird, and gave him a harsh glance.
"Al talk and no show again, Shun?" Dan taunted again. "Well, too bad, because I'm-a comin' with reinforcements! Warrius, stand!" He tossed his marble into the fray. Out of it emerged an orange-and-red ogre with a double-sided spiked club! How was Shun going to get himself out of THIS one!?
"Roar!" Warrius spun his club around and bared his shiny square teeth.
"WARRIUS 290 G'S, SKY - RAVEN- FALCON - WH-WH-WHATEVER 310 G'S."
"Ability card, activate! Ring. Of. Fire!" I was tempted to sing as a ring. of. fire surrounded Warrius. Moldy Raven, a guy in an eyeless and stupid costume, shielded his eyes! Maybe that part of his suit was as thin as a tissue?
"MOLDY RAVEN'S POWER DECREASED TO 260 G'S."
Dan pumped a fist half-heartedly. "Ha! Just taught you a lesson in ultimate kung-fu moves back there! Just watch this uppercut!" Soundlessly, he held one arm at a right angle.
"That is NOT kung-fu...s-so watch out! Gate card, activate!"
The area around Warrius grew cold and frigid...frigidly so! The fire went out, and Moldy Raven flew around some, just 'cause.
"MOLDY RAVEN POWER LEVEL UP TO 360 G'S.
"WHAT!?!?"
"Don't you remember, Dan? I MADE UP that card! You're even MORE of an amateur than I once THOUGHT!"
The really cold waters wiggled around some. Then Moldy Raven thought "screw it let's kick him" and shoved a foot full o' pain into Warrius' mouth.
"Keep rollin', Hotshot!" Dan cheered...or...taunted?
There was a long, unwelcome pause between them.
With deep breaths and a lost temper Shun said, "You...have just...crossed the line. You can take my patience...and you can take me to the top of Momo Your Town Tower...but never again will you call me a hotshot."
"....."
"Because I'm a COOLSHOT, ****it! Gate card, set!"
NYEEEEOWWWWWWW SHWOO-OO-OOP!
"Bakugan Brawl! Moldy Birdman, stand!"
"Ew, he's gross!" Even Dan had to hide his eyes from THIS moldy customer, even though he hadn't before.
"...End turn...****it."
"And again, no first strike!? Wow, this is getting complicated! 'S rackin' my brain, man! What is this, CHESS!?" Dan clutched his forehead. "Oh well! Let's throw strategy out the window! Bakugan Brawl! Panja, stand!"
It seemed as though Panja the White Lion Demon had a grudge against Moldy Birdman, perhaps for shaking mold all over his luscious mane. But we digress. Anyways, Panja flew in front of Moldy Birdman, still in a standing position somehow.
"MOLDY BIRDMAN POWER LEVEL 290 G'S, PANJA POWER LEVEL 300 G'S."
"Let's --"
"Let's --"
They looked at each other uncomfortably.
"Let's ba--"
"Let's ba---"
They hesitated.
"You speak first, Dan."
"No way! You're the COOLshot, right!?"
"Hm, you're right. I AM the coolshot, ****it! Let's battle!"
The two enemies swirled around each other, not unlike they might in a western-style shootout. Only in this battle they shot themselves out at each other, resulting in a tackle where Panja was obviously a bit stronger.
"Gate card, open!" Shun commanded. Wind spiraled up from the depths of a gate card and gave Moldy Birdman the strength he needed to prevail!
"MOLDY BIRDMAN POWER UP 100 G'S."
"I don't like AMATEURS," Shun said snootily.
"YOU'RE the amateur! Ability card, activate! Flameying Wing!"
Instantly, Panja's wings caught on fire. He was obviously in pain, and obviously it was impossible for flight, but SOMEHOW he was still airborne. He backed up for no discernible reason, then proceeded to attempt to slam the daylights out of 'im! He succeeded, and then rubbed all the fire and pain of his wings onto the man-bird hybrid! The pain made Moldy Birdman become a marble once more.
"...Ba--"
"Ba--"
They hesitated again.
"Ball's in your court, COOLshot."
"**** RIGHT it is! Gate card, set!" Shun replaced the destroyed field...again. "Bakugan Brawl! Moldy Raven - that's the name, right? Oh, good - stand!" On that same not-near-Rhinozoid field, Moldy Raven stood and waited, hungry for more.
"Come on, quit stallin'!" Dan yelled, agitated. "What, does Mr. Coolshot not have any game left after Dan Da Man battled it out of him? After one little battle where he lost? Poor Coolshot!" He rubbed his eyes tauntingly.
"I've got game, g******it! Just make your move already before I taunt YOU."
"Okay, alright, fine! I'll go along with your NOT-game!" Dans nickered to himself. "Bakugan Brawl! Panja, stand again!" Panja moaned at the proposition.
Panja had 100 less gogos than Moldy Raven.
Still, they got ready to square off.
"Let's just brawl already!" they said together, no hesitation this time.
The two square danced in the air. They continued to square dance. Yep, just...square dancing, is all.
"Hey, Shun! Just wipe the floor with me already! Stop square dancing!"
"You're right. This ain't a rodeo. You do something, because I'm not causing anything like this."
"Okay, fine...because I'VE got ACTUAL game, unlike YOU, a certain COOLshot. Ability card, activate! Flameying Wing!"
"Gate card, open!"
"D'aw, not again!"
"You...really should have seen this coming, Dan. God, you're so much more of an amateur than I thought."
As Panja flew in pain, Moldy Birdman braced himself for impact...heartily.
"MOLDY BIRDMAN POWER LEVEL APPROACHING 520 G'S. NOW IT IS, INDEED, 520 G'S."
As Panja flew forth, Moldy Raven took him down in a big suplex maneuver!
Without moving a jaw Dan said, "Still slacking off, huh, Coolshot?"
"Of course not! Didn't you see that big suplex maneuver I just pulled off? Feh! You're so stupid, Dan!"
"And you're one to talk!"
More Bakugan stuff comin' up! Ka-SHING!
Let the REAL games begin! Coolshot coming through! RAAAH
"Come on, Shun! Let's brawl!" Dan beckoned.
"We HAVE been!"
"Let's brawl, for real this time, no gate cards or anything! You wanna show me you got game, huh, Shuncoolshot, huh? Well, Mr. Coolshot, just prove it to me!"
"Very well, then. Bakugan Brawl!" Shun threw a marble over near the bored Rhinozoid. It opened up and, in a flurry of sparkles, a magical butterfly princess appeared!
"...Whatever the heck THAT is, why should I, Dan Da Man, care?"
"Because of THIS! Ability card, activate!" Rhinozoid got pierced through the heart and flew away.
Then, Dan remembered something Shun told him...and he flashed back. Ominous Latin chanting started up.
"How about for the Air Vent attribute, we invent a Backdraft ability which does thus and so, and then a Triple Kettle ability which does thus and so, and then a blah ba blah ba blah?" Shun said over a private chat.
Dan gave a thumbs-up.
Dan GAVE IT A THUMBS-UP.
How could I!!? he asked himself, fearing perhaps he had gone mad. This is the worst kind of irony! I gave a thumbs-up to the card that would be Rhinozoid's bane! This stinks!
"That's right. This is the new ability card Backdraft, and ****it I made it!"
"Is MAKING DUMB MOVES ALSO one of the things you made?"
"No...but it's something YOU made."
Darn, he's good! Dan started to worry. "W-w-well, Rhinozoid is done goofin' aROUND! Rhinozoid, stand!" And so Rhinozoid reappeared. He wasn't killed by the card, which was kind of good, I guess.
"Ability card, activate! Backdraft!" Shun sent his magical butterfly princess back to his hand.
"Double-you tee aych, man?" Dan did another half-hearted uppercut. "Is this some sort of fake out? Or something you push into a BEST FRIEND'S face when you DON'T WANNA SEE 'IM any more?"
"Eh. Little of both. Just keep playing."
"Why? Because you love pushing stuff into your friend's face SO MUCH!?"
"...Kind of...but I'd rather be fighting my rival than having a heartwarming moment with my dying mother in the hospital, APPARENTLY. Also this makes me feel like I'm going to turn 20 faster. But that's none of your business...****it."
"Hey, can't we talk about this right now? Or, hey, what about AFTER the brawl when we're outside of the time-stopping dimension?"
"This is why I don't log on any more. Moldy Raven, stand!"
"Gate card, activate!" Dan summoned a bunch of fire and black rocks.
"Y-y-you don't have any game, you hear me, Dan? You have no game!!"
Rhinozoid rammed into Moldy Raven, thus killing him.
"Hey! This isn't a real game, Shun! You're not even stretchin' it out! Come on, show me you got game!"
"****it, Dan! Just finish this so I can go meet my DYING MOTHER in the HOSPITAL! The sooner I can get out of here, the faster it gets out of my cool life. Can I just forfeit -"
"NO!! Show me you got GAME, Shun! Come on, you can do this! It should be like a habit to you now! Get out there again, Rhinozoid!"
Rhinozoid sighed.

Father Figure was busy driving around in his peach-colored buggy advertising weird and creepy car company J-VIS TAC. His wife was in there, right next to him and laying on his shoulder. "Now, THIS is what I call a joyride!" Father Figure exclaimed.
"I thought we were searching for a parking space," Dan's Mom said.
"Oh."
Her face began to redden as she discovered they had been wandering around the parking deck aimlessly for two hours. "FaaaaTHERRRRR...FIIIGURRRRRRE...you are in deep trouble when we get home from this Take Your Beloved to Work Day thing, you got that?"
"Yes, Dan's Mom."
"And when we get home you'll --"
"Hey, Mo-om! Da-ad!" Dan and Shun ran in front of their car, waving their arms around!
"...Wait, is that Dan and one of his little friends? Hey, hey, hey, wait! Stop the car! Stop it! HIT THE BRAKE!"
He didn't hit the brake fast enough.
Beep...beep...beep...beep...
"Shun...Shun..."
"Don't worry, ma'am. Shun's here."
"Shun....."
They wheeled a boy in, not the shining figure of health he once was but a character with a broken right arm and left leg, sitting in a wheelchair. "Mother!" he shouted.
"Shun!" She woke up immediately, seeming to have gained energy from his very appearance. "Come...over...here.....let...me...feel your...unbroken hand...before I...go...un...der..."
"Mother..." They held hands. "You're not going to die here." He bit back tears. "Really."
"You know I will."
"Don't think like that!" He held her tighter. "I'll stay here with you. The doctors here will let you live."
"Bardus disease...they...say it...cannot...be...cured..."
"They have treatments. They might even find a cure someday. I know you can live a while longer, come on and stay with me." Tears came out. "Stay with me!"
"No! I won't! I...can't! Bardus is just...too...much.....take...this as...my parting...gift...to you.....now go...have...fun."
He took his hand away for a moment. Within it was a Bakugan.
"That's what it is? Your parting gift to me is a Bakugan? That's it!? Your parting gift to me, your only son, is a ****ing Bakugan!? Is this all I inherit, is this all I ****ing get!?"
"Call security!" one nurse, pulling Shun's wheelchair away from the scene, hollered.
He still latched on to a railing."I can buy three of these from the store dirt cheap, and you don't even know the first **** thing about Bakugan, so how do I know if it's even good at all!? Think about how I'd feel if I found out your ****ing parting gift to me was a Bakugan that's not worth ****!!"
"It's...the...only thing...you're...good...at.....and...it's...special."
"And it's gonna be special right up your **** dying *** if you don't --"
Shun was safely sped away by an army of security guards.
"...And then she gave you me, the end. Oh, come on, Shun, that can't posibly be the end of the story! There's so many plotholes! That was the worst story ever! I could make a HUNDRED better stories than that piece of crap! I feel INSULTED!"
"There's a bit more. Mom died. Following the incident, I bailed myself out of jail for five hundred dollars and, thanks to my cool regeneration skills, got out of my wheelchair in about a week. I became a great brawler and was able to afford all of this stuff. And then Hammy the Hamster came and gave me a hard lesson on life. Now my brain functions normally. The end."
"...Well, what about your stupid grandpa?"
"I stayed with him for about a week in our ninja house."
"But wasn't that your summer house?"
"It is now. First it was a house house, then it was a summer house, and now it just belongs to some hoboes on the street."
"OH. Where's your grandpa now?"
"He...went missing." Shun looked awfully suspicious of something.
"Oh, that answers everything. It's a bit of a better story now, but still, I could think of a THOUSAND better ones. And in excess of that!"
"Don't treat that like a fairy tale, Skyress. Those are my personal memories."
"Oh. Longest flashback ever!"
At Dan's house...
"That is unfortunate, Dan."
"I KNOW, right? And I think he might have beaten me up once or twice, Drago! Rumor has it he even locked up his ninja warrior grandpa in a secluded room of his summer ninja house! And rumor has it now a bunch of bums off the streets of Tokyo are living in it! Well, one thing's for sure...the Bakugan brawling world won't miss a no-show coolshot has-been like HIM..."
"Maybe not...wait, what was that about coolshots?"
At Mask the Money's ever-changing hideout...
Mask the Money stood before a world map. A bunch of number all over -51 appeared on the screen, worldwide.
"Brilliant. More brawlers are fighting daily. All of these Bakugan are strong...except for Skulltronoid with -50 and Big Tongue with 0...actually, everyone's weak compared to my Hydranoid. Mu hu hu hu..."
"Haaaaaaaal Geeeeeeeee." A weirdface popped out of Luxembourg. "How's everything going? Everything according to plan?"
"Yes, very much so. We must have the most perfectly-evolved Bakugan in order to bust into the Infinity Core. Hydranoid shall be that Bakugan."
"Excellent! Now we shall begin the evil laugh! Mu-"
"And then we give all that power to someone else."
"...WHAT!?!?"
"Yep. Everybody knows what I look like. Now they're starting to just avoid me and any pairs of twins I happen to find holding Doom cards. I don't want to change my radical sense of style, so..."
"Give it to that guy across the street, Bob! He's never brawled before, and he's so normal he practically blends into the surroundings! Perfect! MU-"
"Not him. Dan."
"...Wh-wh-why Dan?"
"Dan's cocky, arrogant...arrogant...last name is CRAP...nobody'll suspect him. With that red-and-yellow hero boy outfit, he'll blend in even better."
"...Absolutely correct! MU-"
"Nah, never mind. Let's give it to someone they'll never suspect..." He moved the computer's cursor onto Shun.
"...Shun? Why Shu- OHHHH. Because nobody suspects number six! The sixth ranger is never evil! Everybody expects him to be evil, but then they all say "oh, that's too typical" and just right-out stop thinking that, y'know? And then BOOM! he RIGHT then becomes evil! The perfect plan!"
"And now may we partake in the daily evil laugh, Hal G."
"Mu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu ha ha ha ha haaaaa."
This is Dan, fillin' you up with the milky nutritious info YOU need for what's coming up! Is Shun my best friend again? Or is he a card-carryin' villain for Mask the Money!? Well, he did play a friendly game of checkers with Runo and Marucho, and he did join the gang...SUPPOSEDLY! Or maybe this is all a big fat TRAP! Whatever! I'm NOT falling into it! Anyways, watch! *wipes nose* I always win, anyways!
We leave our audience today with...the Bakugan dance.
Dooby da doo DEE dooby da doo DEE, dooby dooby doob DEE dooby dooby doob DEE, dooby da dooby doo dee!
