Ch. 37
SELLON POV
I watched as Master Mag-Mel withdrew from the dimension that he had been held captive in for so long. He looked even more grandeur than I had expected. A small tingling in the back of my brain told me that I shouldn't be so happy that any of this was occurring, but for the lifeo f me, I couldn't understand why.
Until, that is, the memories began to assault me once more. I could see fuzzy images of a black haired boy and a younger brown haired one. Every ounce of me told me that they were the people I should be fighting for, not Master.
Before either of us could say anything, however, Master turned to Anubias. He looked him over once before, suddenly, my partner was being sucked away. ""You were useful. But now, you are nothing but a pawn that has decided to do unneeded things. Useless. Goodbye."
I watched as Anubias disappeared. A part of me was glad, that imbecile had deserved such a fate as that. Another part was shrieking in absolute terror at the thought of that happening to me. However, he simply turned to me, "Is everything prepared, Sellon?"
"Of course Master."
He looked away, and I took the chance to look over the roof. I could see groups of people maintaining the grounds, running and helping to attack Master's army of bakugan. I saw…Soon, and Chris helping. They looked worse for wear, and Soon had red eyes.
Wait, why do I care for these meager humans? I shouldn't!...But, I do… the thoughts did nothing to help my confused state. I decided to look towards any other direction, and I found myself skimming for two very familiar faces.
Running out of a building were Shun and Dan. Dan looked like he'd just woken up, and next to him, Shun was scratched up, but his eyes were hardened. As if he felt someone glancing at him, his head swiveled to gaze in my direction.
I mumbled to myself, "Just what is going on…?"
RUNO POV
I saw Dan and Shun coming out of the building. Neither of them looked particularly happy, but then again, we were battling. There could have been so many reasons. For Dan, for all we knew, it could just mean he was upset that he lost battle time.
Shun nodded at me, and I returned Tig to my hand. We all ran back to the center point where we promised to meet. Looking up, I saw a very startling scene. It was Dylan, perched on the fountain, just like the day we'd first met him.
"Dylan?" Marucho asked, "Where have you been?"
"Out and about my friend."
I was suspicious of this guy. He always turned up when things weren't going too great. "What do you want Dylan?" I asked. I wasn't going to waste time.
"Nothing. Just wanted front row seats to the show!" he cackled. He was seriously creepy. We all watched, completely dismayed, as Interspace began to crumble. Our entire group, as well as all the brawlers who had gotten stuck with us were here.
Marucho's watch started beeping incessantly. He looked at it confusedly before his eyes widened. Looking at Dylan, his jaw dropped, "You're not human."
"What are you talking about?" Ren asked, moving to grab Marucho's wrist.
Dylan cackled once more, "Be nice Marucho. I'm your way outta this mess."
What is he talking about? I thought. How was this weirdo going to help us get out of Interspace when even its creator had no clue how to? Then again, stranger things have happened.
Dylan began to digitalize. As in, he began to become transparent and all grid-like. His voice let out one last laugh, before every single one of us felt the same happening to us. As if by magic, we were all back on Earth, completely intact. Our group of thirteen, as well as the other six stood there, silent.
We looked at each other oddly, "What just happened?" Dan asked.
Our group looked to Marucho, "Dylan, he wasn't human. He was an extra program that Interspace created by itself. He was the failsafe that I never knew about."
Jake looked around, "Um, guys, isn't it, like, a little too quiet?"
At that, we all took a minute to take a peek at our surroundings. We were just outside the Interspace dome, at a park across the street, but not a single soul could be seen.
We were alone.
Within minutes, if not seconds, every one of us that had flying bakugan were getting ready to check out other places to see if it was the same. It was. Not a single person remained.
It was just us, and we had to find a way to get everyone else back. We were going to win this war, that much was for sure. I did not wait for weeks to hear Dan's voice again, only to end up that we were going to lose.
Dan had his signature smile on his face. He wasn't going to back down, none of us were. When I looked around, I could see that all of us felt the same way.
A part of me was still worried for Shun, who was clearly still not healed from that horrible battle against Sellon. I put that part away for now. Shun could take care of himself, and if he didn't, I could give him a slap upside the head later.
I smiled, realizing that these thoughts were so stupid to be thinking right now, but they helped a little. We were going to win. That much, I was sure of.
"Looks like it's up to us. Ready guys?" Dan asked, turning back our group.
Our cheers faded quickly in the utter silence, but we weren't backing down. Mag-Mel wouldn't know what hit him.
Well, whaddya all think? Tell me! I have to go, but don't forget to drop me a line :) See you all in a week!
