Hey guys! I'm finally updating the story:) I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry that I was unable to update earlier:( I was so busy with school and sports and stuff. And plus I had such major writer's block like halfway through writing this Chapter. Ugh! So I decided to restart the whole chapter because my ideas weren't flowing and stuff :/
Now winter track is starting up for me, so I won't have much time again…but the good news is that I'll try to update much quicker then I have been…like I'll make sure I update AT LEAST every 2 weeks! …If not earlier:3 But anyway, I really want to dedicate chapter 20 to my good friend Cutie-girl2. She's been waiting for me so patiently and giving me awesome support :D she even drew me a pretty picture of my OC:)
So, without further to do, the chapter that you have waited for like 2 months for!
…
Chapter 20
The day of the big brawl came at the brawlers too fast. Spectra would meet them at their trailer. Ace sat on the steps just waiting for his rival to arrive. Shun meditated in his room. Alice came in and sat down in front of him, interrupting him unexpectedly. He opened one eye.
"Yes?"
Alice went blank. Just the sound of his voice made her blush and the look in his eye made her heart flutter.
"Oh, uh Shun, do you have time to talk?" she asked in the sweet little voice she was too good at. Shun closed his eye again and put his head down.
"Sorry Alice. I'm…thinking right now. After the brawl you can talk to me all you want."
Alice was a little disappointed. "Oh…Ohkayyy…" She left without another word.
…
The moment they had all been waiting for finally arrived. Spectra came, only a half minute late. He took his jacket off and threw it to the ground in a very dramatic fashion.
"Ooooh! Mr. Hotshot." Runo said mockingly. Ace walked up boldly to…Mr. Hotshot.
"I wanted to brawl Julie, or Shun." Spectra said demandingly.
"Beggars aren't choosers. If you want to battle Shun, then WooHoo! You get to battle me too."
"Ha ha! I'll have no trouble with beating you both. First I'll take your Bakugan, and then I'll take your precious Julie too and you'll fall to your knees begging for me to give them back."
Shun's eyes narrowed. There was no way they would lose this battle. It was 2 on 1, and not to mention the "2 side" had 2 of the toughest brawlers around. They backed away from each other and prepared for the battle to commence.
"You're going DOWN dirtbag!" Runo yelled out.
Mira gave Ace a pat on the back and wished him the best of luck. Shun and Julie exchanged glances. Julie had a look of worry. Shun countered that with a smile and a little confidence. Julie was reassured and relaxed a bit, smiling back at him. Too bad they couldn't do much more because of the presence of the other brawlers.
"Let's begin!" Spectra yelled.
The battle began.
Spectra wasted no time getting ahead. He struck first with a double ability. "Double ability AVTIVATE! General Quasar and Burst Core!"
"Crap!" Ace muttered under his breath. The fireballs came straight at him.
"Go Ingram! Go! Ability activate! Shadow Split!"
This ability protected Percival. Ace glanced Shun's way and Shun looked back at him.
"Thanks Shun." He whispered, just loud enough for Shun, and only Shun to hear him. "Ability activate! Misty Shadow!"
While Percival attacked with Misty Shadow from the front, Ingram would take him from behind.
"Boost Ingram, ACTIVATE!"
They both hit Helios at the same time with incredible strength and an incredible explosion. Ace and Shun high-fived each other as Heliou returned to ball-form and Spectra's life gauge dropped to 75%.
This didn't faze Spectra one bit though. He smirked and laughed to himself.
"Maybe I underestimated the two a little. They make a powerful team. Helios, this time around we're holding nothing back. BAKUGAN BRAWL! HELIOS STAND! Ability activate, Maximum Quasar!" At this point, Ace lost his cool and acted as fast as he could in panic to defend Percival.
"Darkus Driver!"
This ability would have been much better if used another time. It had no effect on Helios or the balls of flames that came at him. They hit him hard and he fell down and landed with a thud. Ace's life gauge dropped to 40%. Shun had to be careful so Ingram wouldn't get hurt now too.
"Ability activate! Shadow Echo!"
Ingram sunk into the ground and disappeared. Helios looked around in bewilderment.
"Double ability activate! Continuous Dance- Phoenix Position!"
With that, Ingram came back into sight out of hiding, right in front of Helios's face and began to beat the living lights out of him. Another thing the abilities did was make it so Helios couldn't use another ability, no matter how hard he tried.
Helios soon couldn't take the beating anymore and he fell, defeated, and he returned to ball form. Spectra's life gauge was now at 40%. Alice squealed with joy for Shun. "You can finish him now Shun:D!"
Dan was a little upset and jealous that he wasn't able to battle against Spectra with Shun and Ace, but he was happy for Shun, his best friend. "Nice job buddy! Now go finish him up!" Shun smiled back.
"So are we gonna get on with this thing or what?" Spectra yelled across the battlefield to the brawlers. "Enough celebrating! You haven't even won yet!"
"Ace, let's do this."
"Bakugan BRAWL!" Shun and Ace commanded simultaneously.
"Helios! Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!"
Julie stared at Spectra, and under his mask, he stared back at her. Julie felt a chill go down her spine. She didn't like Spectra. She didn't like him one bit. The power-hungry monster creeped her out. She wanted Shun and Ace to beat him so bad. Then, surely, he would lose his cocky attitude towards them.
Percival acted first.
"Ability Activate! Black Out!"
Everything became dark and nothing could be seen. Then out of nowhere they heard Spectra's evil laugh and then the light returned. Of course he was always smirking. But this time it was not different. This was a look that meant serious trouble. He let out another laugh and then pissed off Ace.
"What so funny?" ace yelled out frustrated.
"Oh…I was just thinking about the looks on your pitiful faces when I take your precious Bakugan and you fall to the ground begging to have them back!"
"Why, you little-! Don't talk to my friends like that!" Dan said, angry that Spectra was underestimating them. Shun stopped him from saying any more. Sectra had something up his sleeve and Shun knew it.
Spectra pulled some purple cards out of his pocket and laughed some more. He held them up so the brawlers could see. "See these? You know what they are?"
Shun squinted his eyes to see them a little better…they can't be…Doom Cards…can they?
Doom Cards were Special Ability cards that were created a long time ago by Naga. When the Doom Cards were played, it would send defeated bakugan to the Doom Dimension, an alternate dimension where no bakugan could ever return from. The bakugan were only recovered from the Doom Dimension when the 6 brawlers passed the tests given to them by the Six Legendary Soldiers.
Were the cards that Spectra held in his filthy hands the Doom Cards?
"Are those the Doom Cards?" Shun asked himself, loud enough for the brawlers on his side to hear him. All the brawlers reacted in shock.
"Oh no. They couldn't be…" Runo said, astounded.
"Not the Doom Cards!" Marucho said.
"Spectra! Are those the Doom Cards?" Dan asked.
Spectra laughed for like a minute, irritating the anxious brawlers. When his laughing ceased, he looked and them sharply.
"You only wish they were the Doom Cards!"
Shun and the others were confused. Why on Earth would we want that? We gave everything we had to get rid of them!
"Spectra. What are you talking about? That's complete NONSENSE! Why would anyone want that?"
"Silly Shun!" Spectra said, mocking Shun. "These cards in my hand are FAR worse and far more DANGEROUS than any Doom Card. These cards can make your worst nightmares come true. You two will wish that you never joined this brawl. Let's just say that once I defeat you with these ability cards, your poor bakugan will be all mine. First they make your bakugan turn against you and join me. Then it boosts their power to an incredible new level; a level only accessible to the most excellent bakugan. They will be pushed beyond their limits and their power will exceed the max. The only downside is that any bakugan that can't handle the pressure will be annihilated, so if you ever want to see your precious bakugan again, even if they're not fighting with you, you should hope that they are ready to take on the new power. If they're not, they'll DIE! Only the fittest bakugan will survive to gain absolute power! This way, only the most capable bakugan are kept and they will be unbreakable! They will have all the power I can give them with these cards. These are the Forbidden Ability Cards." *lightning bolt/Thunder/dramatic evil laugh and stuff*
Shun and Ace stood in disbelief. Oh. My. Gosh. What have we gotten ourselves into?
"You can't just do that!" Dan yelled out alarmed.
"Oh but I can!" Spectra taunted back.
"That's just plain heartless!" Marucho yelled with his voice cracking several times.
"You can't just hurt the poor bakugan like that!" Alice yelled innocently.
Runo was furious. To think that anyone could ever have the guts to do something as horrible and heartless as that to her friends sickened her. She bubbled with rage inside.
"Ace! Be careful!" Mira yelled.
"Shun…" Julie said quietly to herself. What if Spectra takes Ingram? Shun will be so hurt!
…
Ace and Shun looked at each other. They decided that they would play defense until Spectra ran out of Forbidden Abilities. Good plan, right? …Right…That is, unless something unexpectedly went wrong, but nothing was expected to be wrong.
"Ability activate! Forbidden Depths X"
The first of the Forbidden Abilities was activated. Shun acted fast with good defense.
"Ability ACTIVATE! Ventus Defense!" this protected both Ingram and Percival.
Ace threw out one of his trap bakugan to help out. One of the main things it was good at deflecting opponents' abilities, so it played a key role in their plan. Shun boosted the power of all their bakugan with an ability so they could withstand more. Spectra attacked again. This time, Percival blocked the attack.
Shun and Ace looked at each other. They really did make a good team. Their plan was working to perfection. Julie smiled and gave Shun a pat on the back. Shun smiled at this, and Alice noticed. This made her a little jealous that Julie made "her man" smile so she stepped up next to Shun and also patted him on the back.
Knowing that he had the support of his friends gave him the courage and confidence boost he needed to assure himself that he had a good chance at defeating Spectra Phantom.
Spectra made his next move. "Ability activate! Darkness Diablos X!" This attack headed straight for Ace's trap bakugan in the form a huge ray of purple and red energy. Ace made use of his trap's giant mirrors and reflected the ray. Unfortunately, the angle of the mirrors was slightly off and the ray of darkness was headed directly for Percival.
"PERCIVAAALLLLLLLLL!" Ace screamed desperately.
The bakugan reacted just in time and Percival ungracefully dodged the ray of doom. The only problem was that now the attack was heading straight for the brawlers, more specifically Shun and Alice.
Now, in New Vestroia, the battles were a little more realistic and dangerous than the battles on Earth. Anything from the bakugan playing field could come at them and actually harm them. Usually this didn't present a problem, but right now, "usually" didn't cut it. There was a giant ray of evil energy coming at them, and as much as probability said it was unlikely, it was definitely happening to them right then. Only the legendary soldiers knew what could happen to Alice and Shun when they were hit by this unfortunate beam.
Alice screamed in horror and Shun put his arms around her to try and protect her. Though he knew that hugging her tight probably wouldn't do anything for her, he did it so Alice would know that at least he cared about her.
Right at the last possible millisecond, Shun and Alice were jolted violently and they fell to the ground hard. They were safe. Safe.
Safe.
Alice hit her head on a rock and cried in pain. Shun also screamed out, not in pain, but in horror.
After her heroic rescue, Julie couldn't get out of the way in time. She screamed out as the ray blasted her with full strength. Shun's eyes widened in terror.
"JULLIIEEEEE!"
He got up to run over and try to save her, but Ace grabbed him by the arm and wouldn't allow him to go anywhere near Julie.
"It's DANGEROUS Shun!"
Shun struggled to break free from Ace's strong grip. All of the other brawlers stood back, not willing to risk their lives by going into the red and purple mess.
Helios's attack finally ceased and when the ray was gone, there was a huge cloud of dust.
"Juliee!" Runo yelled out.
Shun finally freed himself from Ace's grasp and rushed over to the cloud. Shun waved over to Dan, Marucho, and Mira to go help Alice, who could possibly have a concussion. Runo, Shun and Ace waited for the dust cloud to lift, and when it did, they didn't like what they saw.
"J-Julie?" Runo stuttered. "What's going on? Where'd she go?"
Shun's eyes went blank and he fell to his knees. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Julie…"
She was gone.
Disappeared.
No traces left.
