Chapter 29
Keith, now Spectra, was inside the Vestal Destroyer checking some things.
He thought if he should have brought Blake with him, but quickly brushed the thought.
"Time to blow the house down."
Spectra teleported the Vestal Destroyer near Mother Palace and activated two blades that smashed through the walls.
The Vestal Destroyer slid perfectly through the corridors destroying everything in its way until it reached Zenoheld's throne room. It was paper close to decapitating Zenoheld.
"He is a dead man."
Zenoheld said through gritted teeth.
An entrance appeared on the Vestal Destroyer, revealing Spectra.
The guards were alerted and ready to attack, but Spectra didn't care and ignored them.
"Hi there."
Spectra greets in a calm and mocking voice.
"Tell me why I shouldn't finish you on the spot."
Zenoheld angrily said.
"Do you want to know why I am here?"
Spectra quickly said.
"I don't care. All I want to do is crush you cockroach."
Zenoheld declared removing his cape and putting on his gauntlet.
"Bring it on, old man."
Spectra taunted Zenoheld.
"I will take care of you just like I did with your lapdog."
Zenoheld said.
Spectra remained calm.
"Gauntlet Power Strike."
Both said.
While a battle was going to happen between the two, on Earth, the brawlers were awake.
Mira was searching everywhere for her brother. Unfortunately, she couldn't find him and returned to the girls' room.
The noise she was making woke the other girls.
"What are you doing so early, Mira?"
Runo asked while Julie groggily opened her eyes.
"I can't find my brother. I've been looking everywhere."
Desperation and worry were written on Mira's face.
The two girls looked at each other.
"We'll help you."
Both said at the same time.
"But I told you I'd searched everywhere."
Mira protested, but honestly, she was happy her friends wanted to help.
"Don't be silly. The more people, the faster will find him."
Julie pointed out.
Mira smiled, and the three started looking for Keith.
The search party was for a short while, as even with three people, it was hard to find him.
The three girls sighed and went to the boys. They might know something.
The girls entered the guys' room.
Julie turned the lamps on.
Three loud groans were heard from the room.
"Why so early."
Dan yawned until he saw Mira next to him. Suddenly he was awake and stood up.
"Hey, Mira."
"I can't find my brother. Have you seen him by any chance?"
Mira asked.
Dan shook his head for no.
"Guys, something's up. The Vestal Destroyer is missing."
Marucho entered the room.
"Seriously?"
Baron was shocked.
"Do you think he went to the Palace himself?"
Dan said.
"It's possible."
"As we speak, he is most likely battling against Zenoheld, Hydron, or both."
A new voice joined the conversation.
"Blake."
The brawlers said at the same time.
"Morning."
Blake was standing near the doorway with two bakugans next to her. That wasn't the only new thing about her. Her hair was in a low ponytail, and she had headphones on her ears. If she was going to use Ophelia in a battle, might as well protect her ears.
"Are you sure, Blake?"
Mira went near her.
"Gut feeling. What I meant is I'm positive that's the case."
Blake said.
"Oh, ok."
Mira calmed down a little.
"Since when did you have a second bakugan?"
Dan looked at the direction of the two bakugan.
"A while ago. It's a complicated story, but the ancient bat is on our side."
Blake explained.
Ophelia was disgusted and quickly went near her face. It looked like she was scolding her, but there was no sound.
It looked comically from afar, but to Blake, it was nothing.
"I think you got your bakugan angry?"
Baron said.
"Nah, she is like that half of the time. The other time it's complete silence. But that aside, do you have any plan?"
Blake said.
The brawlers looked at each other.
After quickly changing, Marucho was typing something on his board. Everyone was looking at the holographic screen and Marucho back and forth.
"Have you found the Mother Palace yet?"
Baron asked.
"No, it's much harder than I thought."
Marucho said.
"We should have copied the coordinates from last time we were there."
Mira said.
"How are we supposed to know that we will go another time?"
Dan realized something.
"Drago, can you use your teleportation skills?"
Dan said.
"It's plausible."
Drago answered.
"But will need approximate coordinates."
Ace added.
Then Shun joined in the conversation sharing his theory that Mylene and Shadow may have left trails when they were last here.
Marucho tapped on some buttons, creating a map to the Palace.
Mira's eyes brightened.
"Now, we've got a portable map to Mother Palace."
Ace added.
Blake was quiet through the time. She could teleport herself there million times if she wanted to, but decided against it.
"It won't be that easy. We may have the map, but we need to find the exact trails."
Marucho explained.
After that, everyone tried searching for the trails.
"There is nothing."
Dan complained but continued to search for the trail.
"It's faint so that it will be harder."
Marucho explained.
As on cue, two figures appeared out of nowhere.
"We were as quick as possible."
Professor Michael said, followed with Alice's nod.
Professor Michael put some weird looking glasses and started searching for the trails.
"It might take even more than I thought."
He said.
"Alice, Marucho, come here."
Both nodded and started helping professor Michael.
The rest of the brawlers were patiently waiting in another room.
Gorem and Tigrerra, Julie's, and Runo's bakugans, announced they wouldn't participate in the battle.
That came as a surprise. At first, Drago tried to convince them not to, but the two bakugans stayed firmly behind their decisions.
After a while professor, Michael came.
"We found the trail."
Then Marucho showed the map from earlier.
"Are you ready?"
Professor Michael asked.
"More than ready, right guys."
Dan said, followed with everyone's nod.
