Chapter 30
The brawlers arrived at their destination.
"What the heck happened here?"
Dan looked around, followed by the others except for Blake as she was looking at the Alternative.
"It's huge."
She said, eyes still glued to it.
Ace turned, followed by Mira.
Everyone was in shock.
"Guys, I need to ask you for something."
Blake said, looking at them in the eyes.
"Please keep your ears safe."
Blake prepared her gauntlet. Her two bakugans near it.
Everyone looked at each other, weirdly.
"Why that?"
Baron asked.
"Trust me, just do it if you want normally functioning ears."
Blake explained.
"Ok. I believe in you."
Mira said.
The brawlers put the gauntlets and threw their bakugans in the air.
Dan looked at the newly made ruins of the Mother Palace.
Spectra has now reunited with Gus and was now fighting together like before.
Currently, Vulcan and Helios were struggling against the Alternative's lasers.
"Can't those things die."
Helios dodged a couple of them, followed by Vulcan.
The brawlers put the gauntlets and threw their bakugans in the air.
"We need to get closer. From this distance, everything is useless."
Spectra said.
"Right, Master Spectra."
Gus agreed.
The two brawlers and their respective bakugans went closer.
Helios started shooting, trying to destroy the many weapons on top of the Alternative.
Helios grunted.
The Alternative then caught Vulcan and Helios.
"Say goodbye."
Zenoheld's annoying voice was heard.
Before Blake could call for Reaper's ability, Ophelia transformed into a shadow. It disappeared at supersonic speed, hitting one of the spots on the Alternative, making it glitch and giving some time for the trapped bakugans to leave its clutches.
The Resistance was on edge. It was the first time they saw a bakugan attacking their own without a brawler to initiate the command.
Spectra and Gus looked at each other.
"I didn't know Reaper was that quick."
Spectra thought and then thanked 'Reaper' in his mind.
Ophelia, offended by his thoughts, decided to enter his mind.
"How dare you compare the original with the copy?"
Ophelia spoke inside his mind leaving him with a gasp.
This wasn't expected.
Before she could let him reply, she had already vanished from his sight and went very high.
Meanwhile, Blake was quiet thinking of a strategy until she chuckled. She couldn't believe she was showing another facial expression without a mask, nonetheless.
Mira discreetly looked at her face full of slight shock. It was something within the wrap that has awakened. Mira could tell it wasn't something awakening for the first time, but more of a fully awake slumber.
At the same time, Drago attacked the Alternative from above.
Spectra chuckled lightly, showing his appreciation to Dan.
Gus was confused at first, but Spectra reassured him with a look that he'll explain later.
After that, every bakugan attacked simultaneously, destroying parts of the Alternative.
Zenoheld didn't like that one bit and put an ability card to target every present bakugan.
The next few minutes were full of defensive abilities that fortunately saved the bakugan and gave enough time for the Alternative to recover from the damage.
"Hmm."
Not only did the Alternative looked, brand new, but also equipped with thousands of mechanical bakugan as a party bonus.
"I can't believe it."
Mira said.
"This is indestructible."
Marucho said.
"Zenoheld."
Spectra screamed.
Zenoheld then started laughing like a psychopath.
There were doubts among the brawlers if they could even come closer to destroying that thing, but Dan brought the spirit to the group.
"Everything has a breaking point. We just have to find it."
Dan said to which Drago agreed.
"Now."
Without any further due, Blake revealed an ability card for Ophelia.
"Ability Activate Haunting screech."
Blake said rather loudly without realizing it due to the headphones that were about to block any Universe sound.
Some of the brawlers were confused but brushed it off.
At supersonic speed, Ophelia flew even higher, quickly revealing her actual form, still leaving some shadow trails around her. Ophelia was a humanoid bakugan that reminded of a humanoid bat in some angles, thanks to her wings. Ophelia wore a black mask around her upper face half connected to her bodysuit that reminded more of a swimsuit. Her arms and hands were covered while her shoulders were exposed. Her overall appearance gave ghostly vibes.
After that, a piercing and powerful screech formed that would make banshee ashamed and jobless.
The brawlers minus Spectra and Gus, quickly remembered the tip Blake gave them not so long ago and covered their ears.
The mighty screech destroyed nearly two-thirds of the mechanical bakugans, leaving them into millions of microscopic pieces.
The brawlers were shocked, having different expressions to show it.
Some had eyes wide as saucers while others were pretty stoic, but shocked nonetheless.
"Blake wasn't kidding. I swear I still feel my ears vibrating."
Baron stated.
"Does she look like a person to slip a casual joke that easily?"
Ace rhetorically asked.
The rest of the mechanical bakugan was quickly destroyed afterward.
After that, Spectra used the Zukanator, destroying a part of the Alternative and quickly getting inside.
Blake to extend knew what they were doing, but all she could do was wish them luck.
