Ch. 38
KEITH POV
Shun and I were keeping Mag-Mel at bay while Dan was getting ready to attack. All of us were waiting for a time they needed us to jump in. Suddenly, Mag-Mel sent a wave of purple toward Dan and Drago, ensnaring them both. They couldn't move at all.
"Can't you ever fight fair?" Dan said growling.
"Quiet, you insolent brat!" he bellowed.
It had been only moments after we confirmed that we were completely alone that Mag-Mel had shown up in front of us. Sellon was lagging behind, looking almost hesitantly at the scene before her, all of her grace and poise gone. She had been glancing at Shun in regular intervals, not moving an inch from her spot behind her master.
Everyone was hitting Mag-Mel's bakugan the hardest we could, in quick succession and in an almost flawless manner. It wasn't doing anything. He stood there, unfazed. Occasionally, we'd progress in the fact that we pushed him back, but we seemed to be almost powerless. Every time we managed to get the attack to affect him, he would respond just as hard.
"Spectra!" Shun shouted, calling my attention back towards the battle. I watched as he quickly shot down Taylean and Helios, taking me and Shun with them. Mira and Alice ran up to us. I was fine, but Shun's injury kept him down longer. He sat up, disregarding the wound completely. Alice was sitting next to him, trying to convince him to stay seated.
He's just as stubborn as Dan, if not more.
"You're still hurt Shun."
"This isn't safe for you," Runo commented as she jumped back to stand next to them.
"Dan and I need to know something, okay?" Shun stated, not leaving room for an argument. I looked to see that his gaze was focused on one person: Sellon.
I'm not even surprised anymore.
BARON POV
Master Dan wasn't even paying attention to the fact that he was tied up anymore. Instead, he was shouting at Sellon, telling her to help.
"Sellon! Help us! Is this what you want? Did Mag-Mel ever help you out at all?" he asked. I knew my face must have looked confused, but everyone's seemed to mirror that feeling. Everyone but Master Shun's.
All Master Shun did was watch as Dan kept repeating what he said to Sellon. She looked more and more confused, and her expression changed several times.
Ace looked at Master Dan was crazy, which he actually did seem to be. "Why is he asking her?" he shouted, looking to all of us for an answer. Master Shun glanced at Sellon and then at Master Dan, but he didn't say anything.
I sighed. After this battle, Master Shun and Master Dan had a lot of things to tell us. This time, I was really curious to see what they were hiding.
Nemus got thrown back in my little zoning out time, and I struggled to get a grip again. He pushed up just in time to avoid another attack, nearly hitting Mira and Marucho in the process. We were all scattered everywhere, and it was getting hard to avoid each other.
I really hoped that Tristar and the others got through to Drago and Master Dan soon. We would need them to defeat Mag-Mel.
I took a chance and peeked over at Sellon, who was still behind Mag-Mel, not moving at all. She blinked, so I knew she was alive, but she didn't so much else. Dan would still occasionally shout in her direction, but his words were lost in the loud explosions around us.
Finally, after what seemed forever, Elfin and Preyas managed to get the coils off, at least loosening them. We all watched as Drago ripped the rest off in his haste to finish this. Master Dan looked exactly the same, the purple strands sliding down to his the concrete and fade.
Now, it was all up to him. Nemus came back and let me up onto his shoulder. We were all watching. Master Dan would win, I was sure. "Nemus?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"Just how strong is he?"
"Relatively so. But, no worries, Dan and Drago will have no problem winning."
Instead of answering, I turned my head to look at the rest of the group. Everyone was silently cheering Master Dan on, even Anubias' and Sellon's friends. We all wanted this to be over.
Master Dan and Drago were pushing all their power into this battle, going beyond anything any of us had seen. None of us were even close to this range, besides maybe Shun or Spectra. But, Mag-Mel wanted it just as bad. He seemed furious that Drago was able to match his bakugan's strength.
But without a doubt, Master Dan and Drago pulled forward. Master Dan looked back at us, his eyes landing on Shun, who only nodded. That seemed to help Master Dan, thought I wasn't sure how, but it did.
"It's over Magmel. You messed with the wrong people. And you messed with my best friend's family. You were dead from the start."
Hey guys, it's Jazz. who else would it be? It's been a long week. A lots gone on, not bad stuff, just irritating, with school and everything. But, something huge did happen.
I would like everyone reading this to take a minute to be completely silent in honor of those who died in the Connecticut shooting. It's unfair that life is taken like that, even more so when they're so young.
...
Thank you. Please, everyone, remember, life is important. It's a beautiful thing. Don't take it for granted. Though depressing, I'll leave you with a little uprise in mood. We're coming down to the last two chapters of the story. I have a little surprise: I've decided to update the last two chapters within the same week, so Chapter 39 will be out Tuesday or Wednesday.
