Who would've thunk I'd make it this far? Season Two, Arc Two. It's been a long time coming, that's for sure. Just so you all know, I am planning on going until the end of season four, and I have a plan for all but the subterra brawler. So, if you want to apply, fell free to. For now, though, have a good read!
It's been six months since we freed New Vestroia and stopped the Vexos. We've all been on Earth, just hanging out with our Bakugan, not a care in the world. The events on New Vestroia were so long ago, they seemed like a distant memory. That is, until some familiar faces showed up.
Powers beyond reality,
Brought about by few.
Crossing time and space,
Changing the race.
Creating a whole new world.
The time to combine is now,
The time to recreate is upon.
The time now to find the power
To regain your lost time.
Professor Clay appeared in front of Zenoheld. "King Zenoheld, I have a status report for you." Zenoheld nodded at Clay. "The Bakugan termination system is finally complete. Our preliminary tests show that it is fully functional and ready to go online. Once activated, the BT system will destroy any Bakugan caught in a six thousand kilometer radius. The only thing left to do is gather Pyrus, Subterra, Haos, Darkus, Aquos, and Ventus. The six superpower attributes needed to charge the system."
"Sounds like things are right on schedule. Please continue with your work."
"As you wish, sire. But there is one more thing I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"If we were to obtain the Timeline energy from Chronogian, it would be possible to make the machine even more powerful, allowing it to destroy all Bakugan across dimensions, as long as the planets they are on are in the same relative area."
"That's excellent news, Clay. Now, return to your work."
"Yes, Sire." Clay's screen vanished. Zenoheld stood up.
"They may have forced me to leave Vestal, but with the BT system I'll have vengeance against the Bakugan who disgraced me."
We are flying back to Marucho's house in his jet. Mira and Azion were with us. "Runo, Julie, you look great!" Said Mira.
"Oh, thanks Mira!" Said Julie.
"You look great too."
"Thanks for noticing." She then whispered to Runo. "Actually, I'm hoping Dan notices too."
"I'm sure he will."
"Azion, how's it been on Vestal?" Asked Tom.
"It's been fairly easy, except for the fact that Baron's family took me in. The place is very crowded."
"We all know that." I said. "But it is great to see you again."
"Agreed." Said Azion.
"What's with all the whispering?" Asked Dan. He looked at Mira. "Hey Mira, what's up with Baron and Ace? How are they doing?"
"Oh you know." Said Mira as she sat down. "Settling back into Normal life."
"Now that the Bakugan are free, they must have a lot of spare time, like us!" Said Marucho.
"Baron's busy helping out with his brothers and sisters at home. Azion is helping out there as well because Baron's family took him in. Ace I haven't heard from in awhile." Wilda turned around.
"Elfin. What a lovely surprise!"
"Wilda! Long time no speak!" Preyas shoved her out of the way.
"Hi there Wilda! My name's Preyas! Pleased to meet you! I really have to thank you for taking care of my little Eflin here." Elfin jumped back up.
"What do you mean your little Elfin?" She asked with a blush. "I'm not your little anything!" Preyas fell over. "Don't you know it's rude to interrupt people when they're talking?" She turned to Wilda. "Now, where were we?" Preyas got up.
"Me? Rude? I'm not the one invading people's personal space!" He waddled closer to Elfin, and they began to argue. Marucho stepped in.
"Break it up!" Said Marucho. They each said that the other started it.
"Greetings Wilda." Said Tigrerra. Wilda turned around. "I am Tigrerra. Thank you for rescuing me after I was captured by the Vexos. I will return the favor."
"I am Gorem. We've heard so much about you, it's an honor to meet you."
"Please, the honor is mine." Said Wilda. "I'm very happy to be here."
"So, Mira, tell us what's been happening on Vestal, since we parted ways back in New Vestroia." Said Shun.
"Yeah, I've been dying to know what happened to that creep Prince Hydron and his Vexos goons." Said Dan.
"Well, where do I start?" Asked Mira. "As soon as we returned to Vestal, we were invited to go on the evening news in order to tell our story. While we were gone, several rumors have been circulating about what was really happening in New Vestroia. We went in front of the cameras live to tell the people of Vestal the truth."
"In all honesty, Mira was the one who did most of the talking." Said Azion. "But, as I was once a member of the Vexos, and since I agreed with her, it was more readily accepted."
"Of course, the royal family immediately denied everything. They said that the talking Bakugan were some kind of television trick done with sound effects. Luckily for us, the people believed we were the ones telling the truth, and they all banded together to rise up and fight."
"So then?" Asked Shun.
"Huh?"
"What happened to King Zenoheld and Prince Hydron?"
"The disappeared one night under the cover of Darkness." Said Mira.
"You mean someone kidnapped them?" Asked Ingram.
"No, they fled before they could be captured and held accountable for their crimes!" Said Mira. "King Zenoheld, Prince Hydron and the Vexos all escaped inside the royal palace."
"Before anybody realized what was happening, it was too late to stop them." Said Azion.
"I can't believe King Zenoheld is such a chicken!" Said Marucho.
"King Zenoheld is no coward. He wasn't running away to hide out in some dark corner of the galaxy. Just after his escape, the resistance learned that he was preparing to hatch an even bigger plan, that would make him the ruler of everything and everyone!"
"That's crazy!" Yelled Dan. "There's no way we could sit back and let it happen!"
"But how are we supposed to stop him if we don't even know where he is?" Countered Shun. "He could be anywhere!"
"Well, we aren't 100% certain that it's true. It would be a difficult task to accomplish, even for Zenoheld. Let's hope for our sakes it's just a rumor." Said Mira.
"Well, why don't we just ask them?" Asked Dan, gesturing to us. "After all, they have seen this before."
"We would, Dan, but this is different from what we know, and as such, we can't be certain. And don't even ask us about the location, because it was never revealed." I said.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Said Kato. Everybody looked at the screen. "I'd like to thank you for your patience. We'll be preparing to land shortly." With that, the plane began to go down. The girls were looking out the window.
"Wow, Earth is so beautiful from up here!" Said Mira. Then, we landed on Marucho's roof. "Marucho and his family have this entire place to themselves?"
"You think this is impressive? Just wait until you see the inside!" Said Runo. We disembarked from the plane, and went inside.
"In honor of Mira and Azion's visit, it only seems natural that we celebrate. I've had a little snack prepared for us in the ballroom. I wasn't sure what you liked, so my chef prepared everything."
"Thanks Marucho!" Said Mira.
"I thank you as well, but in a less formal way than that. I don't quite have the same way with words as Atom."
"No problem." Said Marucho. Mira was looking everywhere. She saw a fish tank embedded in the wall. She turned to where the group was.
"Um, guys, did you just see, hey wait up!" She ran after us. We went past several different habitats, with many different species. We also walked into an art exhibit. Mira turned to Shun. "Tell me I'm not dreaming!"
"You're not dreaming." He replied. "Everyone has this reaction the first time."
"Can you blame them?" Asked Mira. We continued on. We soon walked past another door, and Mira opened it, and gasped. "Is this the ballroom Marucho?" She looked at the ceiling and the walls. "Oh my goodness, it's absolutely gorgeous!"
"You're hilarious, Mira. How many ballrooms would have a toilet in the center of the room?" Mira looked, and saw a toilet. "This is the bathroom, silly. The ballroom is this way." Mira simply shrugged, and followed Marucho. We soon entered the ballroom, and saw many different types of food. Everyone except Shun and use Shifters gasped. Julie ran over to grab some food.
"Wow! This all looks so fabulous!" She was ready to dig in when Runo interrupted.
"Take it easy, Julie. Where are your manners? This is Mira and Azion's party."
"Oh, right, sorry!" We all grabbed a glass of juice, and met in the center of the room. We clinked them all together.
"To friendship!" We all said.
"Welcome back Mira!" Said Julie.
"Thank you, guys. Oh, I almost forgot! Julie, Runo, I brought gifts for you!" The two girls mentioned looked at each other. Mira grabbed two things from her bag. "Here."
"Are those what I think they are?" Asked Runo.
Julie gasped. "Gauntlets? Awesome!" The two girls put them on. "Can you say coolest?"
"Thank you Mira!" Said Runo.
"Based on the information gathered by our technicians, we've calculated what we believe to be the 7 correct frequencies to reach the intended targets." Said Professor Clay.
"You had better hope that this works." Said Zenoheld.
"Attention, begin transmission!"
"Beginning transmission, sir." A crystal went up out of the mobile lab, and began to emit signals.
"Are you receiving the same message that I am?" Asked Apollonir. "It would appear that King Zenoheld is challenging us to a battle."
"I hear it too." Said Exedra. "He is demanding that we surrender our attribute energies to him."
"He is also saying that if we refuse, he will destroy all of the Bakugan." Said Frosch.
"Hmmmm. Surely he is mad." Said Clayf. "I say we ignore him."
"But Clayf, what if his threat is real?" Asked Oberus.
"It's possible that he is lying, and that this is some kind of trap. But still, we cannot let a threat against the lives of the Bakugan go unanswered." Decided Apollonir.
The signal was still transmitting, as a dark vortex appeared before the lab. From it can the six ancient warriors. Zenoheld rose up to the top of the lab. "The six ancient warriors. You've accepted my invitation. I was worried that perhaps you wouldn't show and that I'd be forced to come and find you." He jumped down, and laughed.
"You are sadly mistaken, my foolish man." Said Frosch.
"We are not agreeing to your invitation. Agreed Lars Lion.
"We came only to address the threat that you made against the Bakugan." Finished Apollonir. His eyes flashed, and he saw into the past a little. "This BT system of yours."
"The one you designed to destroy Bakugan." Said Lars Lion.
"Why would we ever allow you to have our six attribute energies to power such a device?" Asked Exedra.
"Well, I must confess I knew. I knew you wouldn't give them up without a fight. Luckily for me, I have never been one to shy away from battle, no matter who my opponents may be. However, we cannot start until the last of you show up."
"What do you mean the last of us?" Asked Apollonir. "You couldn't possibly be referring to" A strange gate opened up nearby, and Chronogian came through. "Chronogian!"
"Zenoheld, why must you summon us here?" Asked Chronogian. "We will not lose to the likes of you!"
"Why don't you prove it? Luckily for you, I am also a reasonable man, and because of that, I am offering you this one last chance to surrender your attribute and timeline energies to me peacefully."
"Do you really believe that you are strong enough to take on the seven of us by yourself?" Asked Apollonir.
"I have no doubt." Responded Zenoheld, as he activated his Gauntlet."Gauntlet, Power Strike! You may think that as ancients, you have the advantage over me, but I will show you that you are wrong and that nothing can match the strength stealth and speed of Vestal technology! Gate Card, Set!" He loaded the card into his Gauntlet, and launched the card. "Pyrus Farbros, Bakugan Brawl!" He launched Farbros, and the systems came on in the lab.
"Bakugan Stand complete. Farbros has been deployed, sir."
"Systems check, so everything's in working order, sir."
"After studying all the data collected each of the Bakugan we threw in New Vestroia, we have finally created the ultimate weapon." Said Clay. "The mechanical Farbros. It is a name that will be known, feared throughout the realms.
"I'll remind everyone that if we lose this battle, it means not only the loss of our Attribute energies, but also the extinction of the Bakugan race." Said Clayf.
"Then losing isn't an option." Said Frosch. The humanoid forms of the warriors glowed, and transformed into balls. They landed and opened. Chronogian floated above them.
"King Zenoheld, Farbros's battle balance program hasn't finished yet, so his response time is functioning at 90%. I think you should be aware of this."
"I'm not concerned. The only true measure of Farbros's abilities will come in battle. Alright, you ancient fools, Ability Activate! Twin Horn Pulsar!" The claws on Farbros's shoulders turned to face the warriors, and fired.
"Atomic Brave!" Said Clayf. The lasers went into the mirror on his staff. "This isn't working. It's no good!"
"Now it's my turn to have a go. Aquos Cyclone!" Said Frosch. He shot a lot of water at Farbros.
"You think you're so clever. Double ability, activate! Fire Spartan, Plus Super Cell!" Farbros shot fire from it's legs, and copied Frosch's attack.
"Somebody help here!" Said Frosch.
"Valkyrie Barrier!" Said Lars Lios. A large shield of light appeared around them all, and blocked Farbros's attack.
"Thanks, Lars Lion, just in time!" Said Frosch.
"Nebulous Hammer." Said Exedra. Dark clouds formed over Farbros, and light crackled. A giant form of metal fell through.
"What the?" Asked Zenoheld. Farbros barely got out of the way in time, and lots of wind was generated. "You'll pay for this!"
"You were foolish to think that a mechanical beast was any match for a living, breathing creature with a heart and soul!" Said Apollonir. "You're tremendous Arrogance will be your downfall."
"We'll see." Said Zenoheld. "Gate Card, Open!" The card opened, and the six warriors were paralyzed.
"He blindsided us with that move!" Said Apollonir.
"I, can't, move!" Said Oberus.
"Let me try something else!" Said Frosch. "Aquos"
"Too late! Ability, Activate! Garland Claw!"
"Look out!" Said Oberus, as she went in front of Farbros's claws, only to get grabbed by them along with Frosch. Electricity was then sent through them to attack the two.
Zenoheld laughed. "This is easier than I thought. Perhaps I'll start my collection with the Ventus and Aquos energies."
"Now so fast!" Said Apollonir. Zenoheld looked up. "Maximum Pyrus!" Apollonir shot a massive amount of fire from his mouth to attack Farbros.
"Uncertainty Principle!" Yelled Chronogian, adding more of a distraction to Farbros.
"Sagittarius Arrow!" Said Lars Lion. She shot an arrow up, which created another large amount of light, which rained down, and restored Frosch and Oberus. They stood up.
"What's happening?" Asked Zenoheld. "My gate card should have paralyzed you! Why didn't it work?"
"Ha. Frosch was just a little bit faster than you." Said Oberus. Frosch laughed, then flashed back to the attack. He used the ability Aquos Ripple to negate the Gate Card, just before Zenoheld activated his ability.
"By being just a split second faster than you, I was able to nullify your gate card."
"So, you were able to resurrect any fallen Bakugan, my friends. Perhaps you deserve more credit than I've given you. But I am not going to let you win." He looked at the lab. "I think that's enough for the systems test, professor."
"As you wish, sir." Said Clay.
"The assail system is ready, sir."
"Just give us the word."
"I trust you overheard that good news, sir."
"Farbros, assail formation." Said Zenoheld. A bright light appeared above, and one piece of Assail Farbros came down. The other piece was coming on the ground. Farbros's eyes glowed.
"Lock in on dock sensor! Farbros, take off!" Farbros took off, and it combined with the pieces. Zenoheld entered farbros's body, and screen started lighting up.
"Assail Farbros, is complete." Farbros's power level went up drastically.
"They've combined!" Said Apollonir in disbelief.
"And his power level has far exceeded ours!" Said Oberus.
"No, we can't let this happen!" Yelled Lars Lion. "Valkyrie Barrier!" She created another shield.
"Blast storm!" Said Oberus."
"Aquos Cyclone!"
"Great Axe!" Said Clayf. The three attacks hit Farbros, but to no effect.
"How pathetic. Is that the extent of the ancient warrior superpower attribute energies?" Apollonir flew up.
"Everyone, we must combine strength!"
"Apollonir,"
"Together"
"We give"
"Our strength"
"To you." The gem in Apollonir's chest began to glow.
"Infinity Waiver!" Energy was being focused on Appolonir's gem. "You wanted our energy? Here it is!" The attack hit, causing several malfunctions all across Farbros's systems.
"Battle unit 70% damaged. Activate Recovery System. Battle unit"
"Ok." Said Zenoheld. An ability appeared on the screen. "Ability Activate. F.A.R.B.U.S. XM."
"Recovery system, activated. Repairing Damage done by Valkyrie Barrier, Aquos Cyclone, Great Axe." Farbros's power went up.
"Graviton Wizard!" Said Exedra.
"Maximum Revolution!" Yelled Apollonir. He began to glow.
"Ability Activate!" Said Zenoheld. "Hellion Breath!" Farbros fired 4 lasers at them, reducing their power level. "Farewell, Relics. Ability Activate! Shiny Oricalcum!" Farbros began to glow, and sent out waves of energy. It bombarded the warriors.
"This might be the end!" Said Frosch.
"But, if he defeats us" Started Oberus.
"Our six attribute energies will be taken, and the Bakugan destroyed."
"No, we mustn't give up!" Said Apollonir.
"We can't!" Agreed Chronogian. "Not yet!" Then, the power change registered, and the warriors glowed. They vanished.
"What! They've disappeared!" Yelled Zenoheld.
Dan was talking to Runo when Drago began to glow. "What's happening to me?"
"What's going on?" Asked Leonidas.
"I feel strange too." Said Wilda. "Like I'm burning up!"
"Now it's got me." Said Elfin. "Preyas, do you feel it?"
"Huh, me? No, I feel fine."
"What's wrong?" Asked Marucho.
"Huh?" Asked Shun.
"Azion, something big is coming!"
"Same here Tom!"
"Tigrerra, do you feel it?" Asked Drago.
"No, I don't feel a thing."
"This is the strangest thing." Said Ingram. Dan picked up Drago.
"You ok, Drago buddy?"
"Guys, Ingram doesn't look so good."
"Elfin."
"Wilda!"
"This could be bad." I said. Tom and Azion picked up Pyreon and Slight. Then, our vision went white. Dan opened his eyes first.
"Where the heck are we?"
"Dan!" Said Drago. Dan looked behind him to see Drago behind him, in Bakugan form.
"Drago!"
I became visible in the mist. "Dan, this is bad!" Then Marucho and Shun became visible.
"Over here!" Said Marucho.
"Dan!"
Dan turned to them. "I don't want to panic, but this is freaking me out!" The Vestal brawlers became visible.
"Us too!" Said Mira. Dan turned to see them.
"Baron! Ace! How did you get here?" Azion and Tom became visible.
"Oh boy. Zenoheld took down the warriors!" Said Azion.
"The BT system must be ready." Then the Bakugan appeared. Behind us, seven lights began to glow. They transformed into the ancient warriors and Chronogian.
"Who are those guys?" Asked Dan.
"It is the six ancient warriors." Said Drago.
"And Chronogian." Said Leonidas.
"Drago, you and your friends must listen carefully." Said Apollonir.
"We were defeated in battle by King Zenoheld." Continued Exedra.
"You fought Zenoheld?" Asked Mira.
"What he desired from us was to take our attribute energies." Said Frosch.
"He needed them to power the Bakugan Termination System, a device he created to destroy all Bakugan." Said Oberus.
"To keep them free from Zenoheld's clutches, we are entrusting you with our Attribute energies." Said Lars Lion.
"And my timeline energy." Said Chronogian. The seven bakugan began to glow, and they went up. Chronogian's light split into three as it came down, and all of the light went into a different Bakugan. Drago got the red one, Elfin the blue. Nemus got yellow, Wilda got brown, Percival got purple, and Ingram got green. The three lights Chronogian made went into Leonidas, Pyreon and Slight. Then, each of the Bakugan began to glow.
"What's happening to us?" Asked Elfin.
"This feels weird!" Yelled Pyreon. Then, Drago roared, and all the Bakugan present glowed even brighter. Then, all the Bakugan that got attribute energy evolved, and their light died down. Before us was Magma Wilda, Saint Nemus, Knight Percival, Minx Elfin, Master Ingram, and Cross Dragonoid.
"This is some craziness I wasn't expecting!" Said Marucho. Then, the light from the other three died down, revealing new forms of Leonidas, Pyreon and Slight.
"Guys, look at them!" Said Dan. "It's like they all evolved!" Then the warriors began to fade.
"Remember brawlers, you and your Bakugan are our last hope against Zenoheld." Said Clayf.
"Only you can stop him and his weapon of mass Bakugan destruction. Good luck, we're counting on you." Said Apollonir.
"Atom, Tom, Azion, I am counting on you to protect the timeline." Said Chronogian. "Keep it from falling apart." The scene vanished, and the others were trying to wake us up.
"Dan, Marucho!" Said Runo. Dan woke up first, then me. Dan sat up.
"Oh man. I feel like I got hit by a truck!" He said. Shun woke up, and sat up.
"All of you suddenly fell to the floor and fell unconscious!" Said Julie.
"That was the most bizarre thing ever!" Said Shun. Marucho and Mira sat up.
"Was it a dream?" Asked Mira.
"I wish it was." I said. I sat up, and then Tom and Azion sat up.
"That was no dream." Said Drago. We all looked at him as he opened. "Just look at how we've changed!" The others began to open up.
"Drago's right! It was all real!" Said Dan. "It's not a rumor, that stuff about King Zenoheld is true! And it's up to us to put an end to his plan!"
Zenoheld is actually planning to destroy all the Bakugan! This is insane! How are we going to stop him, especially after he collects an energy? We're going to have to work hard for this, to try and keep the rest safe.
