Chapter 19: Decoy Unit
Okay, it's around that time that I'm back with a new chapter folks! Well, maybe I should just get on with it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan or Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, nor the OC that's appearing in this chapter
Enjoy!
"The Twelve Orders?" asked Dan
"Yes, they're the highest level of the Gundalian ruling class, headed, of course, by Emperor Barodious." Said Serena
"Let me introduce them to you. This is Pyrus battler Gill. He's a cold-blooded warrior who's displayed fierce obedience to Emperor Barodious. His Bakugan is Pyrus Krakix. Aquos battler Stoica, he's a madman, whose personality flips from joker to ruthless savage in a blink of an eye. You never wanna turn your backs on this one. His Bakugan is Aquos Lythirus. Ventus battler Airzel, captain of the Gundalian forces, he is a student and protégé of Gill's. He's also the scum who captured and interrogated me. His Bakugan is Ventus Strikeflyer. Subterra battler Nurzak, he's a Gundalian elder who served since the reign of the previous emperor, he's also the wisest person in Gundalia. His Bakugan is Subterra Sabator. Haos battler Kazarina, she's in charge of the Bakugan Biological Research Center. Rumors persist she's conducting cruel experiments on living Bakugan. Her own Bakugan is Haos Lumagrowl. Finally, Darkus battler and Gundalian emperor, Barodious, he may say very little, but trust me he's insanely smart and equally devious. Barodious is pure evil. His Bakugan is Darkus Dharak." Said Elright
"Hey, those are the dudes we just fought." Said Dan
"The ones that disappeared." Said Drago
"Those six battlers and their Bakugan comprise the Twelve Orders. They're leading the attack on Neathia." Said Serena
"Their forces have already breached the second defense shield." Said Aranaut
"That means the only remaining line of defense is the third security shield. If that falls then we're finished." Said Fabia
"Don't worry Queen Serena, we're not gonna let that happen. We gotta get the second shield back up right now!" exclaimed Dan
"But how do we do that guys?" asked Shun
"Shouldn't we concentrate on the third shield?" asked Marucho
"If we can make it through Sector D, and find the second shield generator, maybe we can jumpstart it. But we'll need a powerful source of energy to do that." Said Elright
"Something powerful like The Element that's inside of me?" asked Drago
"Yes, that would definitely do the trick, but unfortunately to get there, we have to pass through the front line. We'd be at a total disadvantage. I just don't know." Said Elright
"Come on dude! I thought you were the head of the Neathian Army. You've gotta have some kind of a plan in your back pocket, right? Otherwise the Gundalians are gonna cream us!" exclaimed Jake
"Chill out Jake." Said Coredom
"You've gotta relax dude." Said Matt
The defense alarms sounded, meaning trouble.
"Captain Elright, sensors are picking up signals from four Gundalian ships and two Dark Signer's transports on the move in Sector D." Said a Neathian Castle Guard
"I told you guys they were coming!" exclaimed Jake
"Okay already, we believe you." Said Jack
"Sir, we have visuals." Said the Castle Knight
"Those ships belong to Stoica, Kazarina, Gill, Roman, Misty, and Airzel." Said Fabia
"Let them come." Said Hawktor
"Yeah, we're ready for them!" exclaimed Coredom
"We won't let them tramp the third shield." Said Aranaut
"Hey, I have an idea guys." Said Marucho
"Huh?" Akiza and I wondered out loud
"While the lead ships advance, we sneak around behind and fire up the second shield and cut off their reinforcements." Said Marucho
"Huh?" wondered Fabia
"What are you talking about Maruch?" asked Jake
"The main unit of the Castle Knights will attack the four Gundalian ships and two Dark Signers mode of transportation, giving the appearance that it's our main offensive, so all of their focus will be on us. Meanwhile, a breakaway unit will get to the second shield generator then we'll jumpstart it guys!" exclaimed Marucho
"So then, we're talking about using a decoy." Said Shun
"Yep." Said Marucho
"The dimensional sensors might pick us up during the transport, so we can't risk teleporting there. The safest way for us to get there will be to walk through the jungle." Said Elright
"Guys, I should go, I know that jungle like the back of my hand." Said Fabia
"Awesome! Dan, you and Drago need to go too, since we'll need The Element to kick start the generator, got it?" asked Marucho
"Yeah! We're totally ready for a rumble in the jungle! Bring it on!" exclaimed Dan
"Let's do it!" exclaimed Drago
"I'll come too, you'll need some help, and what better way than a psychic duelist?" asked Akiza
"We'll go too." Said Shun
"Yeah, you could use the back-up." Said Hawktor
"Sounds like a good plan." Said Marucho
"It's a brilliant plan Marucho, already you have proven what a gift you are to Neathia." Said Serena
"Aw gee, it was nothing." Said Marucho
"Okay, now that we know who's doing what, pitter patter." Said Dan
"Yeah." Said Marucho
Commercial Break: Sakura: Come on guys, we can't let the third shield get destroyed!
Yusei: I hope you know what you're doing Sakura.
I decided to go solo on this one, if this guy was a Pyrus battler, then he would probably not bring any back-up, and oh boy was I wrong, because my mark flared up in pain again.
"Well, well, looks like the little Signer decided to fight alone." Mocked Kalin
"And here I thought I was doing it alone, what a shame." I sighed/ mocked
"What's that supposed to mean?" exclaimed Kalin
"Calm yourself. She's obviously trying to rile you up Kalin." Said Gill
"Well whatever the case, you two are toast. Gate Card, Set! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Arise, Haos Lunar Eclipse Dragonoid!

"Leo, Lunar, are you okay?" I asked
"They haven't defeated us yet!" exclaimed Leonidas
"They'll come back at us stronger Leonidas. We need a plan." Said Lunar Eclipse Dragonoid
"Lunar's right. One false step, one wrong move, and its game over. We need to think it through before we act. Judging from the way Ccapac Apu battles, he's 100 percent Darkus. A little Battle Audience should do the trick." I said holding up a Gate Card
I was about to throw down my Gate Card when a Gate Card went flying past me. As the Gate Card expanded, I took note that the person who threw the Gate Card is a Subterra brawler. Curiosity getting the best of me, I turned to look behind me, and I saw a person wearing a dark brown cloak. I couldn't get a good look at his face, mainly because the cloak concealed his entire face. He threw a Bakugan, and when it grew to full size, I noticed that the Bakugan looked like it was a complete machine!
"Who's that?" asked Lunar Eclipse Dragonoid
"More importantly, what's that Bakugan?" I wondered out loud
"Check your Bakumeter." Said Leonidas
"Okay. According to this, that Bakugan is Subterra Prefect Machine King, with a power level of 900 G's." I said
"Insolent worm! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Rise again, Pyrus Krakix!" exclaimed Gill

The mysterious male held up an ability card, and after checking my Bakumeter, I took note that the ability that was just activated is called Rocket Blaster, and Krakix was currently getting his butt handed to him by Prefect Machine King.

The gate card was called Capacity Booster, and all of our Bakugan had just been brought back to base, not only that, but the level two class Battlegear Abilities had just been unlocked!

Kalin Life-Force Zero
I just had a vision of Dan and Drago restarting the second shield
"*Whew* I bought them enough time." I said
"What are you talking about?" asked Kalin
"You're about to find out in 5 seconds." I said
The second shield restarted at the end of five seconds, and by the looks on Gill's and Kalin's faces, they realized that we had a decoy unit.
"We've lost this battle today Kalin, we should retreat before we're trapped." Said Gill
"You might have won today, but next time, you won't be so lucky!" exclaimed Kalin
They teleported away, and I mused to myself after they left.
"Funny, I was about to say the same thing. Anyhow, thanks for saving me. If you hadn't showed up when you did, I... W-where did he go?" I exclaimed
"He was just here a moment ago." Said Lunar Eclipse Dragonoid
"I never got the chance to say thank you though. I wonder why he left when the second shield restarted." I mused
I was about to leave when something had caught my eye. A silver ring decorated with an emerald, sapphire, ruby, diamond, and a crystal with an inscription stating 'With knowledge comes new possibilities and discoveries' was on the ground where my mysterious savior was standing not too long ago. I put it in my pocket, and made a silent reminder to myself that when I saw him again, that I would both thank him and give back the ring he left behind.
*Preview*
Jesse: After escaping from my prison, I decided to head to Neathia for two reasons. One was to woo the maiden that had captured my heart, the other was to redeem myself after today's failure. Unfortunately for me, someone else has captured my fair maiden's heart, so the only way for me to win her is if I defeat her. Come Plitheon, we have much work to do. Bakugan, Brawl! Let the curtain begin our act.
Done! Well, this took me longer than I had expected to write, and the Bakugan, Subterra Prefect Machine King, doesn't belong to me either. Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. See ya!
