Whad up faithful readers? Went to see HP 7 yesterday...OMFG it was soooo amazingly fan tucking tastic! it totally makes up for 6 being so crappy. i mean, wow. totally awesome
Anyhoo, i thought i'd update because i love you all and most of you kinda begged me to update lol XD i'm so conceited.
So last time, Marucho showed the Bakugan Interspace, Ayden secretly took in Brontes and Shun tells everyone that they've been found out. What will happen next? I'm just kidding, you guys know what happens.
I was originally going to skip Dan's battle with Spectra, you know with the convenient time freeze, but i decided to try writing in Dan's POV. Tell me what you guys think.
I don't own Bakugan, only Ayden, Azreal and Maelstrom.
"Man this is bad! The Vexos know where we are now! They could be here any minute!"
"Calm down Dan, we knew that we could not hide forever." Said Drago.
"But we don't have a defense plan for something like this!"
"Then maybe, we should switch our tactics and go on the attack instead." Said Shun.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Marucho.
"When I saw the BT System in New Vestroia, it looked like it was being controlled by remote. It would make sense if Zenoheld was operating it from the Mother Palace."
"I think Shun's right. We've spent this long hiding and it hasn't really gotten us anywhere. If we got rid of the BT System, then we wouldn't have to worry about the safety of the attribute energies anymore." Said Ayden.
"So instead of protecting the attribute energies, we storm the Mother Palace and destroy the BT System!" cried Dan. "I love it! Let's go pound that thing into a pile of rubble!"
"Yeah! That way we can keep the Bakugan in New Vestroia free!" cried Baron.
"Just make sure you don't leave us behind this time." Said Runo.
"Yeah count me in!" cried Julie.
"I want to help too!" cried Billy.
"All right, we can all go together!"
"I hate to spoil the mood, but how exactly do we get there?" asked Ace.
"What do you mean?" asked Dan.
"It's not like we have a road map to the Palace. Since it left Vestal, nobody knows where it is." Said Ace.
"Not to mention Dr. Michael's Dimensional Transporter hasn't been repaired." Said Marucho.
"And even if it was working we have no way of finding the Mother Palace without exact coordinates. How are we supposed to find something when we don't even know where it could be?" asked Mira.
"Then we find someone who does know where it is!" shouted Dan.
"But who? Only the Vexos know the location of the palace." Said Runo. "And I don't think they'll want to tell us that."
"There has to be a way." Dan suddenly smiled. "There is someone who knows and he hates the Vexos just as much as we do! We just need to convince him that he needs to help us!"
"You're not suggesting?" asked Drago.
"The ex-leader of the Vexos, Spectra!"
"WHAT?" cried Drago.
"Haha, that's funny Dan. I thought you were serious just now." Said Marucho.
"You can't be serious Dan, after everything he's done to us?" said Runo.
"Ok I think all this lack of battling has gotten to you Dan. Have you lost it?" Said Ace.
"Now hold on, just look at it my way. The Vexos are the greatest threat we're facing now so it wouldn't be crazy to ask Spectra for help. It's our best choice."
"Our best choice?"
"Not to mention Spectra isn't exactly friends with us. What reason would he have to help us?" asked Azreal.
"And like the Vexos, Spectra's in hiding. How are we supposed to find him?" asked Shun.
"I don't know! But I don't see anyone else shooting out ideas!" shouted Dan.
"There's no point. Spectra wouldn't trust any of us. Even if he is my brother…or at least, he used to be." Said Mira sadly.
"I really think you should reconsider this Dan, why would Spectra cooperate with us?" asked Drago.
"Well under normal circumstances, he wouldn't. But I have to find a way to convince him that it's the best choice. Otherwise, we're finished." Dan began staring at the ceiling. "He and I've got a lot in common."
"That is true. You're both strong brawlers and live your lives to a similar code. But there will be a day when one of you doesn't walk away from a battle."
"Yeah…"
The door opened and Runo entered. "Hey you two, what are you doing by yourselves? Come and eat with us!"
"That's a great idea Runo! I am kinda starving and a full stomach always helps me think better."
"You and me both, Dan." Said Drago, jumping onto Dan's shoulder.
All of a sudden, Dan began fading away.
"What's happening?"
"DAN!" cried Runo, but he was completely gone.
Runo ran back to the others. "Guys! It's Dan, he's disappeared!"
"We know, we saw it on the monitor." Said Mira.
Runo looked at the monitor and saw a giant ship hovering over Marucho's house. "Is that what I think it is?" she asked.
"That's Spectra's ship, but what's it doing here?" asked Ace.
"Who cares? At least he saved us the trouble of finding him!" said Ayden.
"She's right. Just when we needed Spectra the most, he shows up on a silver platter. I bet he wants to battle Dan again." Said Shun.
Everyone headed for the rooftop of Marucho's house.
"You mean Dan's in that big spaceship there?" asked Julie.
"We have to get to him!" cried Baron.
"Let's find a way onto the ship." Said Ace.
"I'm in!" cried Billy.
"You guys, wait!" cried Mira.
Dan's POV
Just as Runo and Marucho's house disappeared , a large room took their place. Only then did I realize that I was the one who disappeared, not them.
I looked around frantically for any sign of my friends. "Where am I?"
"Don't I even get a hello? How rude, Dan."
I turned once I heard that familiar voice and saw Spectra and Gus walking towards me.
"I expected better manners from the leader of the Brawlers. Sorry about the kidnapping but I didn't think you'd come here willingly." He said.
"I trust the transportation was painless, I did my best to make you comfortable." Said Gus.
"Gus! Spectra" I cried.
"You've got some nerve taking us against our will, what do you want?" asked Drago.
"Silence! How dare you speak like that to Master Spectra-huh?"
Spectra stuck out his arm to quiet down Gus. "Now now, Gus, it's all right. We need not be concerned about their mannerisms. We should be concentrating on why they're really here: the Perfect Core energy that Drago possess."
Helios flew up in front of Spectra. "He means the Perfect Core that's about to be mine!"
"Just try, Helios." Said Drago.
I laughed. "It's actually kinda funny that we should meet like this. We were all just talking about you guys."
Spectra smirked. "Oh?"
"We want you to show us where the Mother Palace is! Take us there and we can fight Zenoheld together!" I knew Spectra didn't like Zenoheld, maybe I could appeal to that. Besides, like they always say, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' so I guess that meant that Spectra and I should be friends.
"Us? Work with you? Are you crazy?" cried Gus.
"They're just stalling because they're afraid to fight us!" shouted Helios.
"Be quiet Helios! Dan wasn't addressing you." Wow, Drago sure had a tongue. Maybe I should let him to the trash talking a little more.
"What did you say?"
"In case you haven't noticed Dan, but I don't exactly play well with others. The Brawlers would be the last people I'd work with, despite our common enemy." I should've known it wouldn't work. Spectra wasn't one to listen to reason.
"Mira told me about you, Spectra! I know you want to destroy Zenoheld!"
I figured it would be a long shot, you know, bringing up Mira and wanting to destroy Zenoheld. But I knew, despite our differences and previous encounters, Keith would make a great ally.
"Did she now? Well, I'm afraid it's a little more complicated that my dear sister thinks."
"Huh?" What did he mean then?
"My one true goal is to create one ultimate living organism unlike anything the world has ever seen! My dream, my mission is to create the ultimate Bakugan!"
"What?" Ultimate Bakugan? Is that why he wants the Perfect Core: to power up Helios?
"Yes, the ultimate Bakugan will be the most powerful, the most glorious being the world has ever seen! I will become the Ultimate Bakugan and the world will bow down to me! All I need is Drago's Perfect Core." declared Helios.
"There you have it, my real goal." Said Spectra.
I couldn't believe it. I knew Spectra was a little power hungry, but I didn't think he'd plan something like this! Creating the Ultimate Bakugan…It's like Spectra wants to be King of the universe or something…
"Could a Bakugan that mighty even exist? Do you think that's even possible Drago?"
"I don't know. But I do know that messing with the natural order of things never ends well. Spectra's actions will have consequences."
"Just hang on Drago." I whispered to him. I turned to Spectra. "This ultimate creation of yours that you've been talking about…at the end of the day, it's still just a Bakugan right? If that's true, then when the BT System goes off, it'll be just as vulnerable to it as all the other Bakugan."
I knew I had made a good point when I heard Spectra lightly gasp, knowing that what I said was true.
"Come on! We can't just stand by and let it happen…it would be horrible." I cast my eyes down, imaging the BT System wiping out all the Bakugan on New Vestroia. "Come on, Spectra! Help us! Together we can stop them!"
"You may have a valid point, Dan. But I'm not going to just roll over and bend to your will. We both have something the other wants, so why not put it to a duel?"
"A duel?" He means a battle? Of course…
Spectra put on his Gauntlet. "Helios vs. Drago. If we lose, I will take you and your team to the Palace without any delay."
Was he serious? It wasn't like Spectra to make a wager…
"For real?"
"Of course, but if I win, then you must surrender the Perfect Core energy to me." He said, pointing at Drago.
"You serious?"
"What's wrong? Afraid you'll lose Drago?" taunted Helios.
"So what do you say, Dan?"
I smirked. Spectra knew I could never resist a challenge. I put on my Gauntlet. "I say let's get it done!"
"You're going down Helios!"
"Gate card set! Helios stand!"
I saw Gus set down the canister holding the traps that made Maxus Helios.
Helios turned to Gus. "We won't be needing those. I'll rip Drago to pieces all by myself!"
"Don't be crazy!" cried Gus.
"Stay out of this Gus! This victory will be mine alone!"
"Cross Dragonoid stand!" I threw Drago onto the field.
Helios immediately began punching Drago. It was as if Helios wanted to make sure that Drago wouldn't get up after this battle. Well, I wasn't going to let that happen to my best friend.
"What's the matter? Tired?" Helios picked Drago up by his neck and punched him again.
I looked over at Spectra who seemed to be just as shocked as I was about Helios' attitude.
"Man, he's so powerful." I picked up an ability card to give Drago a power boost.
"No, Dan. Just wait." Drago regained his balance. Helios punched him again but Drago grabbed his fist. I guess he wanted to settle this without any help too.
"Don't you realize what Dan said earlier? If the BT System goes off, you will be just as dead as the rest of us. How can you just sit back and continue to fight me when you know the only way to save our species is to work together?" asked Drago.
Personally I think I would've had a better chance persuading Spectra. Helios isn't exactly much of a talker. At least Spectra can be reasoned with…occasionally.
"That has nothing to do with me!"
"What?"
"All I care about right now, is destroying you!" Helios pushed Drago back. "I won't rest until I've defeated you!" he yelled as he punched Drago again. "Now Spectra!"
Spectra nodded. "Ragnarok Cannon!"
Helios' chest opened and fired a laser at Drago.
"Superior Shield!" A red shield appeared around Drago and stopped the laser.
"He blocked it!" cried Spectra.
"You may think you've got me, but you're wrong!" shouted Helios.
"Gate card open! Flat Power!"
"What's going on? Why is my power decreasing?" asked Drago.
"This gate cared returns all Bakugan to their base power level. Go get him Helios!"
Helios and Drago charged at each other and engaged in another fist fight.
"They're too evenly matched!" cried Gus.
I saw Spectra just standing there, as if he was deep in thought. "Interesting…" I barely heard him mutter.
"Shooting Dragon!" Drago fired a fireball at Helios, causing a large explosion. Drago landed back in my hand as Helios fell to Spectra's feet.
Spectra picked up Helios. "Drago! I'm not done with you yet! Spectra put me back in there!"
"I don't know Helios…what if you lose again?"
"I won't! I altered my biology in such a way that I would never lose!"
"That is true…"
I've had it with their chit chat. I threw down a gate card and put Drago on the field.
Spectra followed and put Helios in. Helios let out a powerful cry. I could almost feel his power from it.
"This ends right here right now, Drago. Prepare to be annihilated!"
"Blackout Cannon!" Helios fired a beam at the ceiling, which split into multiple beams that rained down like minivan sized hail.
"There are no words to describe how much I will enjoy defeating you, just as how there will be no words to describe the pain you will feel!"
"Dragon Shield!" Drago formed a shield to deflect the beams.
"Chaos Boost Cannon!"
"Say good night, Drago!" Helios fired another beam and broke through Drago's shield, causing a huge explosion.
"Drago!" I cried, putting my arm up to shield myself from the explosion.
"Now do you see how powerful I am? I am the Ultimate Bakugan!" laughed Helios.
"Once again, you speak too soon."
"Drago!" I cried.
When the dust cleared, Drago appeared inside a spiral of flames, walking towards Helios.
"You are far from ultimate! You say that others will bow to you for your infinite power, but why would they when you only fight for yourself?" Drago punched Helios with intense force. "You are not the one! I not only fight for myself but for all Bakugan! That is why I will do anything to protect New Vestroia."
Drago punched Helios one more time causing him to falter back a bit. "I don't understand. I was supposed to be the ultimate."
"Dan?" Drago winked at me and I knew exactly what he meant.
"You got it! Maximum Maxus Dragon!" Drago's Perfect Core crystal began glowing as a rainbow aura surrounded his body. Drago attacked Helios with a final punch, sending him flying into the air before he reverted back to a ball.
"I can't believe it! Helios lost!" cried Gus.
Drago returned to ball form in my hand. "Yeah Drago! We did it!"
I ran over to Spectra. "A deal is a deal Spectra. Now pay up!"
Normal POV
Marucho suddenly tripped and fell on the ground. "Ow, that really hurt."
All of a sudden Mira, Ace, Baron, Marucho, Ayden and Shun began disappearing.
"What's happening?" cried Baron.
"Oh no." said Mira.
"Shun, what's going on?" asked Ayden.
"We're being transported!" he replied.
"Huh? They disappeared!" cried Billy.
"But I don't understand why we didn't go." Said Julie.
"Why? Because they left us behind again, that's why!" shouted Runo.
Mira, Ace, Baron, Marucho, Shun and Ayden found themselves in a large empty room.
"Where are we?" asked Mira.
"Hey guys!"
"Dan!" cried Marucho.
Dan pointed behind him and everyone saw Spectra and Gus.
"Spectra! What does he want!" cried Ace.
"You can relax, Ace. I've invited only those who liberated New Vestroia from Hydron and the Vexos. Gus, prepare the dimensional transporter. We're going to the Mother Palace." Said Spectra.
"Really? You're actually helping us?" asked Mira.
"I can't believe you did it, Dan!" cried Elfin.
"Hey, I played a part too, you know." Said Drago.
"I thank you for showing me the way, Dan Kuso." Said Spectra.
"Huh?"
Spectra began walking away. "I owe it all to you, my friend."
"What is he talking about?" asked Percival.
"And why did he call you his friend?" asked Azreal.
"To be honest I have no idea, but that's not important now, what's important is destroying that BT System!"
Spectra's POV
I stood, Gus by my side, in the command centre of my ship watching as it moved through the dimensional gate to the Mother Palace.
'It seems that Bakugan are able to evolve in response to the need to be better, faster and stronger, much like how organisms evolve over time to keep up with their changing environment.' I thought.
Drago is able to use the Perfect Core energy at will now, something he was unable to do before his evolution. I remember just before his friend Shun showed up and in Beta City, Drago experienced a major surge of power, caused by learning of his friends being in trouble. All that anger must have allowed him to tap into his Perfect Core energy, but now, he can do it whenever he wants. So, in order for Helios to even stand a chance against him, we must exceed his rate of evolution.
"Master Spectra, are you sure we should be doing this?" asked Gus.
"A deal is a deal, Gus. Dan won the battle fair and square and I must honor what the battle has decided."
"Spectra, please, do whatever you can to make me stronger, and I will do whatever you ask of me!" cried Helios.
"Very well Helios. If that is what you wish. I think it's about time we all look at this." I snapped my fingers and an image of a DNA strand appeared on the screen.
"Master Spectra, what is this?" asked Gus.
"This is information on Bakugan DNA that I received from an anonymous source earlier today. It revealed to me that I could unlock hidden powers within Bakugan using their DNA Codes."
"New powers?" asked Helios.
"Yes, it is with this Phantom Data that we will make you stronger, Helios."
So what did you think? Should I keep writing in some other characters' POV, like Dan and Spectra. Personally I kinda liked writing in Spectra's POV, well because Spectra's mind is the shit! Right? haha
Oh and I just wanted to clear something up. Azreal is a Dragonoid. Dragonoid is the name of the species and Azreal is his name. In Drago's case, Drago is his nickname, Dragonoid is his speices and Salamander is his real name.
As usual, please review!
