Hello everyone and welcome back to another chapter of this story, which I have grown kinda fond of. I'm glad you guys are okay with this story having cameos from other shows. The reason I did this is simply because after the first season of Bakugan, I got EXTREMELY bored of Dan, Marucho and Shun. I have no hate for them(except for Dan's annoying voice), it's just like eating a loaf of bread without anything, bland. Not to mention I call B.S. in Mechtanium Surge since Shun LITERALLY becomes a sparring partner with his Bakugan. I get Natsu since he has his dragon slayer magic, BUT COME ON! Okay, sorry, I just like to rant about something before answering the reviews….hehe…
Kival737101: I know, since Leo does have Natsu's magic and fighting prowess, it is understandable how he fought Helios and made him look weak. Trust me, their fights are only gonna get crazier.
Docron: Thank you and you will see who the girl is. Well since they have the Dragon Bond, it only makes sense he has Natsu's admiration for family, especially since the Legendary Warriors showed how New Vestroia after the Vestals invaded.
GodX: I know, life and my other stories kept me busy. Hohohoho, you might be right~;)
Neostardustdragon101: First off, love your username. Second you are half right pal.
FanficCrossoverMaster15: This is fanfiction, anything could happen.
25NaMi: Thank you.
Natsu vi Kurosaki: Thanks I guess? And I was already going to have them go to Earth.
So last time Natsu had a heart-to-heart talk with his team and partner about why he doubted himself, all because of Acnologia. After an intense nightly training, Natsu challenged and not only defeated Gus, but also Spectra, though he got some help from an unexpected source. In this chapter, we're about to see WHO they are and why they were hiding themselves.
'A few hours later'
After Natsu's unexpected nap, the Resistance had finally arrived at Alpha city. "Woah, so this is it huh? It looks like a giant fishbowl!" Natsu exclaimed as he thought of Happy for a split second.
"While you aren't wrong Natsu, you aren't right either." Sona said with a giggle.
"That dome is what keeps the residents of Alpha city safe, and ensures they don't know about the outside world." Mira said with a slightly saddened tone. Father, can I help you open your eyes, or are you still blinded by your work?
"Our mission is to take out the Control Tower. We need to find a way inside without being detected." Ace suggested while looking around.
"Can't I just melt the glass with my fire?" Natsu raised his right hand just to prove his point. Suddenly, a bright reflection began to hit his eyes. "Guah! The hell?" He covered his face before something caught his eye. "Guys, look." Everyone turned and saw two figures in the distance using something bright to get their attention.
"Woah, who are those guys?" Baron sid out loud as the figures entered a large air duct.
"I think they're trying to lead us inside."
"It could be a trap." To Ace's surprise, Natsu began to walk towards the duct. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Those guys wouldn't get our attention unless they wanted to show us a way in."
"I don't know Natsu, it could be a trap." Mira said, only for him to grin.
"If it is, then I'll kick their asses!" With that, he ran towards the air duct with the others not too far behind. It turned out the figures let a latter for them to climb up.
"We'll have to jump at an exact moment on each of these fans." Sona said with narrowed eyes as a light bulb appeared on Natsu's head.
"You mean like a ninja?"
"I suppose you're right in a way, but I don't see how that-Natsu?!" Everyone looked in shock as Natsu wrapped his scarf over his face.
"I will jump down...like a ninja." He said while pointing his finger up, getting Ace to facepalm and the others to sweatdrop. He then jumped down, leaping from fan to fan until miraculously, he landed on the bottom without a scratch.
"Did he seriously just land while looking that stupid?"
"I…..think you're right."
"Wow, that was so cool Master Natsu!" Baron cheered. "If he can do it, so can I! Ninja jump!"
*BANG*
"OW!"
*DING*
"OMPH!"
*CRASH*
"Uuhhhh…" Unfortunately, Baron wasn't as focused as Natsu, so he pretty much landed face-first on the ground, his eyes were swirled.
"You fail as a ninja." Natsu said in his 'ninja' voice as he threw a rag over the young brawler's face.
"Here goes nothing." Unlike Baron, Ace, Mira and Sona were able to land on the ground without a scratch. "Alright, let's keep huh?" Mira raised a brow as on the wall, was a map with a flashlight under it. Taking the map, she turned it around to find a message. "Follow this map so we can meet. Not enemies, want to free the Bakugan too."
"Okay, now I KNOW this is a trap. Why would these guys help us?"
"Only one way to find out." Natsu used his magic to light the way as the others followed. The was actually really accurate as they didn't have to split up. Natsu then stopped when his ears picked something up. "We aren't alone." From the shadows, a figure could be seen walking out. It was a female with bright red hair that was kept upward, blue eyes and slightly light skin. Her attire consisted of a red striped vest-shorts combo.
"I see you finally made it. Good." She said with a hand on her hip.
"Who are you, and why lead up here?" Ace questioned.
"Relax, we aren't with those Vexos bastards."
"We?" The female nodded as she montioned the corner behind to to come out. The person she referred to was a tall, attractive and rather well-endowed young woman of japanese descent. She wore a pale yellow, sleeveless outfit with a skirt end that has a slit down the side with a bright yellow star emblazoned on the right side of her chest. She also wore a dark brown scarf and a tight dark brown stocking on her right leg starting just above the knee and white boots. She had two grey sashes wrapped around her waist twice and hangs diagonally from right to left. Her long black was tied in a ponytail and had large violet eyes. Natsu sniffed the air and widened his eyes.
"Hey, you're that ninja that helped me earlier!" The others looked shocked while the red head raised a brow.
"Yes, that was me. My name is Tsubaki Nakatsukasa and it is a pleasure to meet all of you." She said with a bow.
"And I'm Kallen Kozuki. I'm glad we were able to get your attention Bakugan Brawlers."
"Why meet us here in all places?"
"The reason is simple: so no Vestal or Vexos could hear from us. I'm sure you all know me and Tsubaki are from Earth, like you are pinky." Natsu's brow twitched at the nickname.
"Okay, first: It's Salmon. Second, I'm not from Earth, I'm from Earthland."
"Isn't that the same thing?" She asked blankly.
"No it isn't, and my name is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel. These are Mira, Baron, Sona….and Mace."
"You idiot, my name is Ace!"
"That's what I said Base!"
"Now you're just doing that on purpose!" The two then began a heated argument while the others talked.
"While I'm from Earth myself, Natsu is telling the truth." Sona said, though Kallen was skeptical.
"If he isn't from Earth, then prove it."
"Does this prove I'm right?!" Natsu lite his right hand on fire and showed it to the two females, who were more than shocked to say the least.
"So I wasn't hallucinating." Tsubaki muttered.
"T-This has to be fake. There's no way a human can-!" Natsu suddenly grabbed Kallen's wrist, much to her shock. But instead of being burned, the flames were dancing around her body as incredible warm came from the male. "H-how?"
"My flames aren't normal. I can choose what burns and what doesn't as long as I know." He then let go and gave her a serious look. "So now do you believe me?"
"Y-yeah. I definitely believe you." Though internally, she wished he would hold her a bit longer. "As I said before, we aren't with the Vexos. We want to free the Bakugan as well." A red ball suddenly bounced onto Kallen's shoulder before opening, revealing a machine-like Bakugan. "This is my partner, Pyrus Gurin."
"It's an honor to meet you all." Gurin said with a bow as Leonidas jumped onto his brawler's shoulder.
"Please, the honor is all mine Gurin." Leo said with equal respect.
"Do you know where the Dimensional Controller is Kallen?" Mira questioned.
"Yeah, the way up is right here. Come on." the group then began to walk behind Kallen while Natsu walked next to Tsubaki.
"Hey, thanks for helping us against Spectra and Gus. I could've lost." He said with a toothy grin as the female blushed a bit.
"W-well you were facing two opponents at once. I don't find any honor in a one-on-three battle." A green Bakugan landed on her shoulder.
"I couldn't agree with you more Tsubaki." The Bakugan said.
"So you helped her fight. What's your name?"
"I apologize, my name is Ventus Ingram."
"Hello Ingram, I am Pyrus Leonidas. Tell me, how do you all know this tunnel's structure."
"We've been keeping tabs on Alpha City, waiting for the right time to strike and destroy the Controller." Kallen looked down while clenching her fist. "But we could never find an opening by ourselves."
"Well it's good we're here to help." Baron said with a smile. "Hey, why don't you guys join the Resistance? We could always use more help."
"We'll see Baron." Kallen stopped in front of a metal ladder. "This should lead us into the city."
"Alright, time to rock!" Natsu eagerly went up first before pushing up the manhole. "Alright, who wants some-!"
*BEEP, BEEP*
"WHOA!" Natsu quickly went back down to avoid a car from running him over. "The hell Kallen?!"
"Just be quick or you'll be roadkill." Grumbling to himself, Natsu opened the manhole and quickly ran to the street. Soon Kallen, Mira, Ace, Sona, Tsubaki and finally Baron made it as well. "See, that wasn't so bad."
"Yeah yeah, come on. I wanna smash this controller al-"
*ROAR*
Natsu jumped back as a Bakugan suddenly appeared in front of him. "Leo!"
"Whoa Master Natsu. It's just a tv broadcast." Baron pointed out as what was in front of them was indeed a tv, showing footage of a Bakugan battle.
"Battle of the Bakugan. Many will compete, but only one will reign victorious!" The speaker said before shutting off.
"Woah, that sounds awesome! Where do I go to brawl?!"
"Partner, we have to focus on the mission." Leonidas said. Natsu looked around and was awe struck at...well everything. The technology here was way more advanced than Earthland.
"This is where I used to live. My father still works here." Mira said as the group began to walk around.
"Man, Earthland's got nothing compared to this place."
"Not even Earth is as advanced as this city." Sona added as she and Natsu were walking inside a mall.
"So if these guys are Vestals, then shouldn't this place be...more evil?"
"Battle of the Bakugan! The world's top brawlers, in the ultimate smackdown!" The group noticed some kids watching the broadcast."
"Whoa, cool!"
"It's gonna be the best! But no one can beat Spectra!"
"No way, my brother's gonna crush them all!"
"Whoa, your brother's a brawler?"
"Mhm, he's gonna win it all and become a Vexos!"
"Yeah, when I grow up, I wanna be a Vexos too." With that, the kids left.
"Man, these kids really like the Vexos huh?" Natsu muttered as he remembered how much of a fanboy Romeo was back home. Seeing these kids worship such people made him feel terrible.
"Unfortunately, these people don't know the true reason behind the Vexos." Tsubaki said in a saddened tone.
"That's why people need to know." Baron said with a serious tone, getting nods of agreement. Mira felt like an idiot for believe the lies Prince Hydron had told her and remembered how she was...with her brother Keith.
Oh man, I lost again.
Hehehe, you're not following through Mira. A boy with short light pink hair said while flicking his Bakugan like a coin. You corner your opponent, but for some reason you lose focus on the final attack.
Well I just wanna beat my big brother. So there! She said while leaning forward, but to her surprise, he poked her forehead, making her blush a bit.
Relax short stuff. She looked at him for a few seconds before bursting into laughter, which he joined.
"Mira? Mira? Hey Mira." Natsu began to poke her forehead, snapping her out of her daze.
"Yeah?"
"We were talking about destroying the Dimension Controller." Kallen answered. "It should be located in the Dome where the Bakugan brawls are located."
"Alright, let's go!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't go with you guys." Mira said with a saddened tone. "There's something I have to do.' With that, she ran off.
"Mira, wait!"
"Natsu, where are you going?!"
"I'm going with her in case she needs help. You guys focus of destroying that thing!" He shouted while looking over his shoulder.
"Man, that guy really doesn't listen to reason does he." Ace said with a sigh.
"They'll be fine, right now we need to go to the control station and shut the Controller down."
"Right."
'With Mira'
After a bit of running around, Mira was finally able to reach her apartment. Opening the door, she began to look around. It was foolish to think he would actually be here. She thought with a frown as memories of Keith and their time together resurfaced. It's just like he left it.
"Wow, this is a pretty nice place." A voice called out, making her fall over. Turning her head, Mira's eyes widened as Natsu was currently laying on Keith's bed. "And this bed….though I kinda think Luy's is more comfy, this is a close second."
"Natsu!? What are you doing here?" He looked at her with a toothy grin.
"We're a team, so I thought I should follow in case you need help."
"But-"
"And don't worry about the mission, the others are looking around." He got off the bed. "Besides, you looked like you needed to take care of something."
"I do." He noticed her low tone.
"Well, can I help?" Natsu looked over the room before noticing a frame with Mira and some boy he had never met. "Who's this guy, your boyfriend?" This of course got a smack to the back of the head.
"He's my brother you idiot!"
"How was I supposed to know?! Geez, you hit almost as hard as Erza, and that's saying A LOT!"
"Just…..relax while I look through this computer. And try not to destroy anything here." Natsu grumbled a bit, but nodded regardless. Though she was shocked, Mira couldn't help but be grateful at how caring the pink-haired idiot was. Sitting at the dining table, Mira began to look through Keith's computer, hoping to find something, ANYTHING about his whereabouts. "I know if I just keep looking…" Mira stopped when a picture of her and Keith smiling appeared on screen. "I hope he's out there, fighting to free the Bakugan to. What do you think Wilda?"
"Well I….." Wilda turned away, much to his brawler's confusion. Suddenly, the doors could be heard opening, revealing Professor Clay.
"M-Mira? You've come back." He said in slight shock before regaining his composure.
"Father."
"Well I'm glad you've come to your senses-"
"If it means enslaving the Bakugan, then I'd rather lose myself!"
"Now now, no need to get upset Mira. Why can't you enjoy your good life?"
"No way! That life depends on the misery of others!" The professor looked in shock at his daughter's words. How could she still act like this?
"Enough."
"Father, where is Keith?" Instead of answering, he turned away. "Tell me!"
"M-Mira, your brother….he's no more." He didn't bother looking at her before continuing. "Please...just forget you ever knew him." Mira couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her father, KEITH'S father, was just telling her to forget all the good times. Her father was about to walk out the door, but she grabbed onto her arm.
"Please, you have to tell me! Something happened didn't it?" Frustrated by his daughter's action, Clay pushed her on the ground, without looking guilty.
"Never come back until you've-"
"FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" The scientist was about to see what or who said that...when a flame coated fist slammed into his cheek and sent him crashing onto the table. The culprit? None other than an extremely pissed off Natsu. The young wizard walked up to Clay and pulled him up by the collar to glare at him. "You bastard, how could you say that about your own kids?!"
"Who are you, and what-" He was cut off when Natsu punched him on the cheek, breaking his glasses.
"You remind me too much of Lucy's dad, and I hate that. You apologize to Mira right now or I'm gonna burn you to a crisp." He raised his hand and set it ablaze, much to his shock.
"Pyrokinetics...pink hair….you're Natsu Dragneel aren't you?!" This got an annoyed punch to the face.
"It's salmon you ass! Now apologize to Mi-"
"Natsu, that's enough!" Mira said as she gripped his shoulder.
"Mira, he hurt-"
"I know, but this isn't the answer." She gave him a pleading look, much to his shock. "Just stop, please." As much as he hated how he treated Mira, Natsu let him go….and slugged his face, knocking him out. "Thank you."
"Don't give up."
"What?" He looked at her with a serious expression.
"About what he said, to forget him, don't. I would never forget Igneel and always try to find him." He then grabbed her shoulders and stared into her beautiful blue eyes. "I'll help you find Keith, and then you can be a family again." She couldn't believe what she was hearing: Natsu was honestly offering to help her find her brother, something Baron and even Ace wouldn't do. And his tone, he was dead serious. It made her heart pound as a feeling of warmth crept inside.
"I-I don't know what to say. Thank you Natsu, really." She leaned in and hugged him, which he returned. It was a true sign of friendship, and neither would have it any other way.
"Professor Clay, Professor Clay." The communicator suddenly rang, much to their shock. "Project Mech is near completion. Please come to the lab to see the field test."
"This is not a good sign." Leonidas said as Mira took her father's communicator.
"What should we do Mira?" Wilda asked.
"I say we smash whatever it is they're building. That should piss off the Vexos." Natsu suggested.
"Come on, I know where the lab is." With that, the group left.
'Bakugan Research Lab, a few minutes later….'
After a bit of running, the two members of the Resistance were able to make it to the research facility. In case they needed it, they contacted the others to meet them there and luckily, Kallen knew exactly where it was. "Alright, let's see what kind of toys the Vexos have been making." Ace said as they began to sneak inside the corridors.
"They must be really serious about the work if they're rushing production." Baron whispered as they saw a few scientists running in one direction.
*ROAR!*
"Huh?" Natsu's heightened hearing picked up something. "Guys, something's down there."
"How can you be so sure?" Tsubaki questioned as he began to sneak forward, to a glass window. And what the team saw shocked them. "Impossible…"
"They couldn't have.."
"What do we do against THAT?" What the group was looking at was a green and silver mechanical creature, who was screamed as electricity was surging through it's cage.
"Dammit, where is Professor Clay? We need his help to finish Project Altair." One of the scientists said in frustration.
"We can't worry about him right now, raise the power to three thousand." Another scientist said, much to his colleagues' shock.
"All at once, are you serious?"
"There are strict guidelines…"
"We're on the threshold of something great and you're worried about guidelines? Increase power!" Though they were reluctant, the two raised the power, forcing the mechanical beast to shrink. The Resistance looked in shock as it shrunk into a Bakugan.
"A-A mechanical Bakugan…"
"Those bastards! How could they create such a monstrosity?!" Leonidas said in pure anger.
*Crack*
Everyone gasped as Natsu slammed his fist into the glass, shattering it with ease. "RAGH!" He jumped down and landed in front of the scientists.
"WHO ARE-?!"
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu didn't give them time to respond as he punched all three scientists without any remorse. There was no way in hell he was gonna let something like this happen. Faust was enough with Dorma Anim, but now a Bakugan made of robotic parts?! Speaking of which, he looked at the new creation with anger. "There's no way I'm letting this thing exist!" Just as he was about to stomp on it..a cable shot from the shadows and snatched it away.
"Didn't your parents teach you not to break other people's things, Pinky?" Lync said with a smirk as he caught the new Bakugan.
"Lync, give me that thing, it doesn't deserve to be around." To his annoyance, the short brawlers chuckled.
"Hey, we just felt like living Bakugan were too overrated and weak. What's wrong with making our own Bakugan to fight you?"
"You stain the traditions all Bakugan follow with that creation!" Natsu's partner yelled.
"And another thing that's good about mechanical Bakugan, they don't talk back." Lync smirked as he took out his gauntlet. "Why not be the first person to face our new Bakugan? It's an honor for you to fall to Ventus Altair."
"Yeah yeah, I'm gonna melt that thing to a crisp." Natsu put on his own gauntlet and to his surprise, Mira did the same. "Mira?"
"Natsu, my father helped create that Bakugan, and I feel it's my responsibility to destroy it." He wanted to do this alone, but remembering what happened at her house, he sighed.
"Whatever, my Altair with take you chumps down."
"Gauntlet, power strike!" All three devices glew as the others arrived just in time.
"Gate card, set!" Natsu threw in his card as it expanded. "Let's turn that thing to ashes Leo!" Leonidas appeared on the field with a roar.
"So that's what Leonidas looks like." Kallen muttered in slight awe.
"I agree, he's amazing." Tyna said, getting her brawler to look at her.
"Tyna, do you like Leo?" Sona whispered with a smirk.
"What?! O-of course not, I'm just saying he's amazing when he appears on the field." The blush on her cheeks suggested otherwise, much to Sona's amusement.
"Let's join in too Wilda. Bakugan, Brawl!" Wilda appeared next to Leonidas.
"Alright, let's go. Bakugan, brawl! Ventus Altair stand!" The mechanical Bakugan appeared on the field while screeching.
Leonidas: PL 450
Wilda: PL 400
Altair: PL 500
"Ability, activate! Spinal Saucer!" The rings on Altair's wings suddenly shot a green ring of energy.
Altair: PL 500-700
"Ability, activate! Gun Lock!" Wila's shoulders shot two orbs of energy at Altair. However, he was struck on the chest while his opponent dodged.
Wilda: 400-600
A shadow appeared over Altair, much to Lync's shock. "What?!"
"Ability, activate! Burning Wing Attack!" Natsu shouted as Leonidas set his wings ablaze before slamming them into Altair, making it scream in pain.
Leonidas: 450-650
Altair: 700-500
"Grr, cheap shot! Double ability, activate! Mega Shield plus Thunder Fire!" A green shield appeared around Altair as its tail began charging energy.
Leonidas: 650-450
Wilda: 600-400
Altair: 500-900
"Crap! Altair has enough power to defeat them both!" Ace shouted.
"They pull through, they have too!" Baron shouted.
"Go Bakugan Trap, Subterra Baliton!" Mira threw in a spiked ball before it opened, allowing a creature similar to that of a stegosaurus, just with spikes on it's back, appeared. Altair fired a bolt of blue electricity, which Baliton's horns absorbed.
"I see, Mira's using Baliton's horns as a kind of lightning rod to charge the course of the attack. Well played Mira." Sona said with a smile.
Wilda & Baliton: PL 650-1000
"Like that'll matter! Huh?" Lync widened his eyes as Altair began to scream in pain. "What's going on? Altair!"
"It looks like Altair's energy endurance is failing." A scientist said from his station.
"That damn idiot Lync, using two abilities drains too much down." Professor Clay said as he walked in the room, getting shocked looks as he had bruises on his cheeks. "You. Increase server capacity to 30%!"
"Anyone know what's going on?!" Mira questioned.
"Who cares? Let's take it down!" Natsu shouted before placing a card in his Gauntlet. "Ability, activate! Meteor Blast!" Leonidas began to charge fire into his mouth.
Leonidas: PL 450-650
"Don't leave me out of this! Ability, activate! Apolon Head!" Baliton shot several of its horns, wrapping them around Altair.
Wilda & Baliton: 1000-1200
"Okay, no more fun! Here's another double ability!"
"Another one?! This kid's insane!"
"Professer!"
"NO! Let him do it. We need results." Clay turned back to the battle. "Do it Lync, destroy them!" Mira and Natsu looked in shock as the latter's father returned.
"Spinal Saucer plus Thunder Fire!" Two rings shot and cut Baliton's cables while charging energy into his tail.
Altair: 700-1300
Wilda & Baliton: 1200-900
"Woah, look at that power level." Baron said in shock.
"They've gotta do something or they're dead!" Kallen shouted.
"Mira, Natsu!" Altair fired….and punched a hole through the roof and past the dome.
"Huh?" Altair began to shut down before returning to ball form.
"The booster system is offline."
"Grr, fine. Shut everything done." Clay said in disappointment.
"Oh well, at least it was something." Lync said while picking up Altair. "You chumps were lucky this was a field test. Otherwise you'd be kissing my-"
*SMACK*
"AHHH!" Lync was sent flying into the wall by an angry Natsu. He then turned his head towards Clay, who actually looked scared at the glare that was being sent his way.
"Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu launched a stream of flames at the observation deck, forcing those inside to jump back.
"AHH!" Unfortunately, Professor Clay wasn't lucky as some of the flames struck the left side of his face. To say the Resistance was shocked would be an understatement. They had never seen Natsu this angry before, and to be honest, it was scary.
"I'm never letting these things go." He turned his head and growled as Lync was able to escape without him knowing. "We have to destroy the Controller. Now."
"Y-Yeah, we will Master Natsu." Baron stuttered as he saw how serious he was. Mira looked at where her father was standing with a sad expression. Maybe he was too far gone for her to save. Only the future can tell us if he will change or not.
And that's a wrap for this chapter. Man it was tough to make this chapter, what with introducing two new characters and Altair being created. If you hadn't noticed, I have made an alternate version of it as I want to make this story as fresh as possible. Additionally, I want to make OCs a thing, as well as an arc that is between the return of the Vexos and the GMG(which will be KINDA different.)
So did you guys like Kallen for Code Geass and Tsubaki from Soul Eater being here? I have two reasons for them arriving. 1. I wanted to add two brawlers for each attribute and 2. They just hot. And I hope you guys liked that NaMi (Natsu and Mira from Bakugan) moment as I have a lot more in the future, especially when they go to Earth *spoiler.*
Also, for the next chapter since it's the small tournament: who would you guys like to see enter the battle? Let me know and the highest number for a character will be allowed to represent the Resistance.
