What's up everyone! The 3rd Dragneel with yet another chapter for you. A lot of you guys really, and I mean REALLY loved the last chapter, which I honestly am glad for because that means the next few chapters will make you go crazy like a girl at a Justin Bieber concert(Trust me, those people are insane!)
Dragneel Vanquisher: Thanks my man(I assume you are one. If not, then I apologize.)
Antex-The Legendary Zoroark: I'm glad you liked it, and trust me, Spectra will get payback for all the things he did.
Oro03910: Look, Mira just wants her brother back, but I do agree she's going at it the wrong way. Believe me, Spectra will get what's coming to him soon;)
Earth Dragon Arnighte: Well then don't read this story if you don't like it, I'm not forcing you to do it.
NinjaFang1331: Hey, you said more than two words! Jk, thanks.
NatsuSparda09828: Who said I was even going to make Maxus Leo? (I told am;)
Docron: I know, had to make the chapter as epic as I can before the next ones come out.
GodX: I'm glad your prediction was correct, even though I didn't ask you guys what would happen in the future. Well they won't fight in the NEXT chapter, they will fight at the end of this arc.
25NaMi: Thanks, but the lemon might be a bit farther since I do wanna build the the relationship.
Guest: Hahaha, I'm glad you got to see Spectra lose, but soon, he will get more than he expected. Hopefully you'll like it.
So to recap what happened before: The battle between Natsu and Spectra made a shocking turn as it was revealed that Leonidas was in a kind of dark form, making him more aggressive to the point of drawing blood. Despite not wanting to hurt his friend, Natsu and Drago did their best to hold off Leo, only for Spectra to use a strange virus to force Leo to use the Dragon Bond. Having enough of his friend's suffering, Natsu bonded his own magic with Leo, snapping him out of his trance enough for Drago to beat him. Meanwhile in New Vestroia, Clay and the remaining Vexos decided to bring the strange sword back to the labs to see if they can harness its power. What will the group do next? Let's find out….
"Alright! Leo's back!" Baron cheered as he and the others gathered around Natsu, who was still smiling at Leo.
"Drago, thank you for saving me from Spectra's clutches." Leo said with a respectful bow. "I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way."
"The honor is mine Leonidas." Drago said with his own bow. "However, there is another reason I came here."
"Another reason, Drago is there something wrong?" Dan asked in concern.
"Natsu Dragneel, you and your friends must return to New vestroia at once." Everyone widened their eyes.
"Did something happen?" Kallen asked in a serious tone.
"It would seem that the Vexos have increased the power of their Dimension Controllers to extend even farther. Our world is falling closer and closer to a deep hole."
"No…..dammit!" Natsu punched his hand in frustration.
"But we took down the Controller in Alpha!"
"Yes, but as the range of the Controllers increase, it will only be a matter of time before the Alpha city controller is rebuilt."
"Wait Drago, have you or the Legendary Warriors heard about our allies in New Vestroia?" Mira asked urgently, only for her fears to grow as Drago lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, but I do not know about the rest of your team." The members of the Resistance stayed silent, wondering if their friends are even okay.
"Well then, that just means we all have to get to New Vestroia ASAP!" Everyone turned towards Dan, who had a determined grin plastered on his face. "If you guys think you're going back to New Vestroia without us, then you have another thing coming."
"Totally! I've always wanted to go to Vestroia and teach those Vexos a lesson!" Julie added.
"Plus someone has to make sure Dan doesn't get in trouble." Runo said with a teasing smirk.
"Hey! I don't get in trouble."
"Mmmhmmmm." Dan simply looked away with his arms crossed as everyone laughed.
"Alright, then let's go back to Vestroia right away!" Natsu declared while pointing dramatically before realization crossed his mind. "Soooooo, does anyone know how to get there?"
"I can create a portal to teleport use all there. However, I don't believe we should go yet."
"But why not Drago?"
"Your parents Daniel. They will be worried if you leave without telling them." The original brawlers had to agree with their friend. Last time they went, their parents were devastated. It would see unfair to not tell them.
"Hey don't worry guys, we can wait until you tell your parents!" Natsu didn't see a problem with his friends getting ready, since in a lot of the jobs he took before, his team needed time to get everything ready(though Erza usually just gets that huge ass wagon wherever she goes.)
"Hang on guys, what are we going to do about Spectra?" Mira didn't want to just let her brother just hang around Earth, causing trouble with innocent people. Natsu lost his grin and frowned deeply, thinking about that bastard.
"I guess it is a problem letting him stay here."
"But wouldn't it be weird if we brought him?" Baron asked, a bit reluctant to let the leader of the Vexos come with them.
"I can just knock his ass out, along with Gus and Lync."
"Perhaps we should think more strategically." Nemus spoke up.
"I agree, if he stays here with the others while we go to New Vestroia, then we would only need to deal with Volt, Mylene and Shadow Prov." Gurin said, getting a nod from the others, though Natsu did pout since he wanted to punch some assholes.
"And after we do so, then we can deal with Spectra." Wilda finished, liking the plan.
"Fine, but I call shots on Spectra! That bastard's got to pay for what he did." Mira felt guilty for not telling them the truth, at least not until she was ready.
"Okay, tomorrow we'll head back to New Vestroia at the highest tower, kay?"
"Right!"
"Very well, one night's rest wouldn't be too much of a problem." Drago truly missed being with Dan, especially since he loved baths.
"Yeah, it'd be just like old times." With that, the plan was in motion.
'With Spectra and Gus'
While you would think a loss like the one Spectra just had would make him angry, he was surprisingly calm as he and Gus walked around Wardington. "Losing the battle has changed our plans." He said to Gus calmly. "Things may be more….difficult now that Leonidas is back with Dragneel. However, we don't need him anymore." he raised his Gauntlet as it showed several images and graphs of Leo. "From that battle, I was able to analyze his powers. However, I won't be able to use it here."
"Then we'll need to get back to New Vestroia." Gus suggested as they walked through a large crowd. He did notice a smirk crept on his Master's face.
"Don't worry Gus, I have a plan."
"I will follow you wherever you go Master. But what about that weasel Lync?"
"While I am tempted to leave him here to rot, he may still be useful to us."
"He's Prince Hydron's spy, maybe we can use that to our advantage."
"You read my mind Gus."
'Kozuki residence, a few hours later…'
"So you'll be leaving again?" Aura asked with a slightly saddened tone. The group decided to go back home to prepare for tomorrow and Kallen had to tell her mother about what they were planning.
"Sorry to drop it on you like this mom." Kallen said with a small frown. She didn't want to do this to her mom, especially since her father and brother were away. To her and everyone else's surprise, Aura laughed.
"It is always like you to go on adventures dear. Remember when you begged us to go to Disneyland in Florida to meet Mickey?" The redhead blushed a bit as her friends looked confused. Who the hell was Mickey? "I know I can't stop from doing something you're passionate about, so I'll support you anyway I can." She then looked at Gurin. "Gurin, can I trust you to protect me daughter?"
"I would gladly risk my life to protect Kallen miss Kozuki." Gurin said with a determined tone, getting the older woman to smile.
"I look out for Baron, might as well watch your daughter to." Nemus added.
"Nemus! I'm not a little kid anymore. I'm almost 16 you know." Baron countered.
"Hey, relax Baron, we all know you're strong." Natsu said while patting his friend's shoulder, making him smile.
"Thank you all, now who's hungry?"
"I am!" Natsu and Baron raised their hands in unison, getting her to giggle as she brought in an assortment of food, from rice to noodles to chicken. The males began to drool at the sight of the glorious food before taking as much of it in their plates as they can and scarfing it down like it's their last day alive.
"Those two are a handful." Kallen glanced to the right and noticed how quiet Mira was. Her hair shadowed her expression as she just looked down. "Mira?" Said person flinched a bit before giving her a smile.
"Yes? Did you call?" Mira asked in a fake happy tone.
"You're pretty quiet Mira, something up?" Wilda looked at Mira, knowing what was up. Natsu himself was worried about her, but he wouldn't pry on it until she needed to.
'Sometime later….'
*SPLASH*
"AAAHHHHH~" Natsu poked his head out of the bath water with a content sigh. Not many people knew this, but the dragon slayer actually enjoyed taking baths, which is why he at one time went in Lucy's bath while she was in. Let's just say he was sore….down there….for a few days…..she nutted him. "Man, it's been awhile since I took a bath."
"Yes, this does seem relaxing." Leonidas said as he was floating on a small soap box boat. The steam from the bath felt nice. "Partner, will we have enough strength to win?"
"What are you talking about Leo? Of course we will. We're a team, and a team always wins if they work together!" Natsu's positive attitude always brought a smile to the Bakugan, as well as everyone around him. "Hey Leo, can I ask you something?"
"Of course, what is it?" He noticed Natsu frown a bit.
"Well….did you see how sad Mira looked at the table? I think something's wrong with her, and I don't know what." Natsu always hated to see his friends unhappy and he would even ride a train for a month(if he had his motion sickness back) to keep they happy. Leonidas hummed in thought. He did noticed Mira's fake tone, yet he thought it might not be anything.
"Perhaps we should ask her when we have the chance." Natsu nodded in agreement before an idea came up.
"Leo, have you ever taken a bath before?"
"Well…..no I haven't." To his surprise, Natsu suddenly lifted him up with a grin.
"Then there's a first time for everything!" With that, Natsu let Leo go, allowing him to fall in the water.
"AAHHHH…...Natsu…...can't…..swim…." Leo tried to float on the water, but he failed and slowly sunk down.
"Come on Leo, it's not that deep." Natsu just looked at where Leo sunk as a few small bubbles came out. "Leo?" No response came. Realizing Leo wasn't going to get out, Natsu quickly pulled the Bakugan out of the water as he choked. "Oh shit, I'm sorry Leo. I forgot you can't really swim in ball form."
"Just….please don't do that again." Leonidas was not ready to die today, especially by such a dumb way like drowning.
'Kuso residence, the same time…'
"Come on, please answer." Dan said as he was on face chat, waiting for someone to pick up. As he and the others prepared for New Vestroia, he forgot to ask a certain someone to come along for the ride.
"Perhaps she's already asleep Dan." Drago said while on his brawler's desk. The room hadn't changed one bit in the last few years.
"Yeah, I guess you're-"
*DING*
Dan was cut off when the facecam notification ding, allowing Alice's face to appear.
"Hi Dan." Alice said with a smile.
"Hey Alice, sorry for calling you late."
"Hello Alice." The orange-haired beauty's eyes widened as she saw a familiar red Bakugan on his desk.
"Drago?!"
"Yup, he's really here. Trust me, we needed his help." Alice looked at Dan in confusion before he went over what happened the past few days, from the Amusement Park to their hang out at the arcade to the battle with Spectra, which forced Drago to come.
"Oh my, is Natsu alright?"
"Yeah, he got Leo back, because of Drago. But that's not why I'm calling." Alice raised a brow as Dan grinned. "Well since we're planning to go to New Vestroia with Natsu and the others, I was gonna ask if you wanna come with us?" Alice gasped in surprise. Her, go to New Vestroia? Sure she wanted to help Hydranoid, but could she really go back?
"Do you mean it?"
"Of course I'm sure. You gotta be worried about Hydranoid, right?"
"I am but….how am I going to get there?"
"Don't you still have that transporter card? Just use that." Her eyes widened a bit before she smiled.
"You're right dan! Okay, I'll see you all tomorrow."
"Okay, meet us at 6 at the Batoro Tower. See you there." With that, Alice signed off. "It'll be like old times."
"Yes, though I wish Shun and Marucho would come as well." Dan agreed, he did miss his little buddy and best friend, but they had their own lives to live. He then proceeded to go pack whatever he could for tomorrow.
'Kozuki residence, later that night…'
"I swear, you really are a lazyass." Kallen said with a sigh as she rubbed Conner's stomach while he laid on her bed. She loved her dog a lot, but he really can be lazy most of the time. All the dog did was lick her hand, getting her to smile. "Kiss up." Giving him a kiss on the head, the redhead began to make her way to the bathroom when she noticed something outside. "The hell?" Looking through her window, Kallen spotted Mira, standing next to the light post with some kind of device in her hand. Narrowing her eyes, she quickly made her way to the window. Mira simply looked at the device. Her hair shadowed her expression as she looked at the device. "Mira?"
"Huh?" She quickly turned off the device and looked up at Kallen. "Oh, hey Kallen. I was just...talking to Julie about stuff."
"Like what?" To her surprise, Mira glared at her.
"It's none of your business."
"Look, I just wanna know what's up, you don't have to snap at me." Realizing her rather rude words, Mira softened her glare.
"I'I'm sorry, I didn't mean too…."
"It's fine, just come in and get some sleep. There's a lot of weirdos out there at night." Nodding in agreement, Mira entered the household. Mira, what the hell is going on with you? Speaking of Mira, she entered her own room, the same frown from before was still evident. Walking, or rather dragging her feet, she went to her bed before sitting down. Reaching into her small jacket, she pulled out Wilda, who looked at her in worry
"I had to do it Wilda…."
"Sometimes we have to make the hardest decisions, just know I'll always be with you." Wilda reassured, getting her to smile
"Thanks….Wilda." Mira's smile quickly disappeared as she began to cry. She wanted to say something to her friends, she really did, but….would they look at her the same, especially a certain pink haired boy? Just thinking about him turning his back on her made her heart break.
"Mira?" She let out a gasp as at her door was Natsu, who was only wearing a tank top and shorts, but the thing she focused on the most was his expression. He looked at her in pure concern.
"Natsu…."
"You okay? I heard you crying." Realizing what he meant, she quickly looked down and wiped her tears.
"No, I'm fine. You should….just go to bed." Mira heard the door close and thought he left….only to feel the bed move a bit. She looked to the right and saw him sitting right next to her, not losing his frown.
"Mira, I saw you cry, tell me what's wrong. I don't wanna see my friends cry." The memory of Erza crying after Simon's death and Wendy after seeing Calt Shelter was fake appeared in his mind. The Vestal native knew there was no chance of lying to Natsu since he genuinely cared about her, so she had to improvise.
"I just…..I don't know what to do." She looked at her pal while clenching her fists. "It feels like this fight won't ever end, that my people will always torture the Bakugan, and my father will keep experimenting on them. Even finding Keith is just too hard to do." She let out a few tears before continuing. "I just feel so alone." Silence took over the room, only Mira's tears could be heard falling on her lap. Lying to him even as she spoke hurt her, Natsu always made her smile and give hope, no matter what the situation was. Then...she felt a warm hand on her left shoulder, prompting her to turn and see Natsu smiling.
"You idiot." He reached out and lightly bopped her head, making her widened her eyes.
"W-what?" Shaking his head, he used his thumb to wipe away her tears, making her blush as his warm hands caressed her cheeks. "You aren't alone in all this. You got me, Leo, Wilda, Baron, Dan, every one of your friends are behind you. As for your dad, I know he may be an ass, but I know we can change his mind about all this. Besides, I told you I would help you find Keith, and a Fairy tail wizard never breaks a promise." His smile grew as he raised his right hand, sticking out his thumb and index finger. "Whenever you feel this way, just do this. Even if I can't see you...no matter how far away you may be...I will always be watching you." He lowered his hand while giving a toothy grin. "So don't worry about being alone, cause you're never without friends!"
*Sniffle*
Natsu's eyes widened as Mira continued to cry and before he could say anything...she lunged forward and hugged him as hard as she could. All the frustration she had was released in one go and Natsu for his part didn't know what to do. His words, his damn words opened the floodgates of her heart. Then, she felt natsu wrap his arms around her while rubbing her back, trying to comfort her. "Hey, I'm here Mira. There's no need to cry." Mira let herself cry for a few minutes before her eyes were finally dry, but she couldn't-didn't want to let go. He was just so warm and it made her feel….safe. "You okay now?"
"*Sniff* y-yes, I am." She reluctantly pulled herself away from Natsu's chest while giving him a genuine smile. "Thank you for saying that Natsu, I really appreciate it."
"Hehe, that's what friends are for." He patted her leg before standing up. "I'm gonna let you sleep, night." He was about to walk towards the door….when Mira suddenly grabbed his wrist. He turned towards her as she had a visible blush on her face.
"Actually, there's….something...I wanted to ask." He gave her a raised brow before sho spoke. "C-can you….stay with me….for the night?"
"Ehh?" He was honestly shocked. Usually whenever he slept in Lucy's bed, she would give him a hard Lucy kick to the nuts, but Mira, she wanted him to stay. It sounded so weird, yet nice at the same time. He gave her a smile before sitting next to her.
"Sure Mira." Gulping nervously, Mira pulled the sheets back and scooted back, allowing room for Natsu to lay on. Putting the cover over their bodies, the two just looked at each other in silence. "Well…..goodnight Mira." He slowly closed his eyes before succumbing to sleep. Mira simply watched as he snored a little with a small smile on her face. Despite being really strong and reckless, Natsu had moments when he was just really cute. Biting her lip, she reached out and stroked his cheek, making him purr like a cat. She couldn't help but giggle a bit at his cute noise before closer her eyes. However, her body unconsciously moved a bit to pressed her head on Natsu's chest. Said person wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her close like a teddy bear. That night, Mira had the best sleep she had in a long time, all thanks to….him.
'The next morning, Russia'
"That damn human, who does she think she is?" Lync muttered to himself as he stormed into the snowy forest. He asked Michael how much long before the Dimension Portal by threatening him, only for that girl Alice to slap him hard on the cheek. All he wanted was to go back home, but these humans were taking way too long and to say he was getting annoyed would be an understatement. "How long am I gonna be stuck her in this ice cube?" Just then, something small and fast passed his right shoulder, much to his shock. Looking forward, he spotted a mechanical insect looking at him. "Where did you come from?" To his shock, the device projected an image of Spectra, causing Lync to fall back.
"Well well, look what we have here?" Spectra questioned with a smirk.
"You? What do you want Spectra?"
"I have a little deal for you. Listen up…"
"Okay…..I'm listening."
"Soon Gus and I will be returning to Vestroia…" Lync widened his eyes in shock.
"What?! That's impossible! That damn human doctor said the Dimension Transporter isn;t working yet."
"We've found another way back and you can join us...if you work for me. Unless you're willing to wait for the Transporter to work. By the time you return, New Vestroia will be all mine, and the pathetic prince you work for will be gone." The Ventus brawler of the Vexos growled in anger, but did he really want to say longer than he wanted to? Meanwhile inside the laboratory, Doctor Michael and Alice were talking with one another.
"Please child, do be careful over there. I don't want what happened before to occur again." Michael said with a worried tone.
"I promise Grandfather, I'll be fine. Dan and the others will be there." And Natsu. Alice told her grandfather with a smile.
"You should tell Lync you're visiting friends so he won't follow." While he would like nothing more than to move Lync somewhere else, he was much too worried about Alice than his own comfort.
"I will, good bye grandfather." Giving the older man a quick hug, she ran out the door to use her transport card. However, as she walked outside, she looked in surprise to see Lync standing in front of her.
"Alice." He simply said with a fake smile. "I would like to apologize for what happened earlier." She widened her eyes a bit before looking at him with a calm expression.
"It's fine." She walked past him, wanting to get away from him so he wouldn't follow.
"No...it isn't. What I did was extremely uncalled for."
"Yes, but...I'm sorry for my temper as well." His fake smile grew a bit.
"Apology, accepted. Maybe….you knocked some sense into me.' She looked at him fully, wondering what he meant. "I've…..decided to leave the Vexos. I don't believe in what they do!"She gasped in surprise as he continued. "I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"I….I want to meet pink-I mean Natsu, because I have some info he might need." Her eyes narrowed as she stepped back.
"No way, that's not happening. You're trying to trick me."
"You know, there was a time no one trusted you either, but where would the Resistance be without your help? I wanna help too!" Alice was truly conflicted: on one hand he could be spouting bullshit to hitch a ride, but on the other, he might really want to help them beat the Vexos. This was one of the times she wished her friend's were here. Suddenly, Lync grabbed her shoulders so she could look him in the eye. "Please Alice, I have to talk to Natsu right away." She just stared into his eyes, trying to find any deceit, yet found none. After a few moments, she sighed.
"Don't try anything Lync, or you'll pay." He smiled before pulling away.
"Thank you Alice." Nodding, she reached into her bag and pulled out a gate card.
"Then let's go. Hang on tight Lync." He grabbed her shoulder before the card began to glow, transporting them away.
'Batoro Tower, 6 AM'
"Hmmm, where is she?" Dan muttered as he and everyone else was currently waiting at the entrance of Batoro tower, waiting for Alice to arrive.
"I still can't believe you got Alice to come with us. It'll be like old times!" Julie cheered with a big smile.
"Wow, I wish we could've gone up this thing." Natsu said, looking at Batoro Tower in wonder. Yeah he went on the Tower of Heaven, Phantom Lord guild hall, etc, but this looked more….peaceful.
"If you come back again, maybe we'll go here." Kallen teased with a smirk.
"It's strange, Alice is more dependable than this. She would never be this late." Drago said in worry. He didn't want to leave Alice behind, it would beyond rude. Baron squinted his eyes as a figure could be seen in the distance.
"Hey guys, I think I see someone." He said while pointing at the distance.
"Look, it's her!" Runo said with a smile as the person running was none other than Alice.
"You're late Alice."
"Yo!" Natsu walked forward and grinned at Alice, getting her to smile.
"Hello Natsu, how are you?"
"Great! This place is awesome! Just wished you could've had fun with us."
"Check it out, Natsu's hitting on Alice."
"I ssssooooooo ship them!" The redhead sweatdropped at the gossip the original brawlers.
"Me and Lync were getting here, but now he's gone." Baron and Natsu's eyes widened in shock.
"You brought Lync with you?!"
"He's very deceptive. Fitting for a traitor." Nemus said.
"If he knows we're here, then Spectra might know too." Wilda added. Natsu growled as he started to look around with his fists lite ablaze.
"Did you lose your marbles Alice?! Lync is Vexos, which means he can't be trusted!"
"But he said he'd quit-"
"I can smell him close by."
"If we're going to go, it needs to be now." Drago looked away from the group to focus his energy. Allowing his body to glow, Drago fired a small beam of red energy, causing a black and white portal to appear. "We must go now."
"No way! I'm gonna kick Lync's ass for tricking Alice."
"Partner, we need to go back to New vestroia to stop the Vexos there. Then we can come back and deal with Spectra and Lync." Leonidas proposed.
"You aren't going anywhere!" An all too familiar voice called from above. The group looked up as Gus landed in front of the portal before throwing a small device over them, allowing it to shoot a next around them.
"YOU!" Natsu tried to grab the net….only for it to shock him. "What the hell?!"
"Sorry Dragneel, but there's no way we're letting you get out." Soon, Spectra and Lync stood behind Gus, each with their own smirk.
"Hehe, thanks for the ride Alice." Lync said with a smirk.
"You! You lied to me."
"Yeah, that's kinda my thing" Natsu growled even more as Alice glared at Lync.
"Alright you midget, you better let us out or-"
*VROOM*
Everyone stopped what they were doing as they turned around...and saw Mira was outside of the net. "I-I'm sorry." She said solemnly.
"Mira, what's-" Natsu froze as Mira….just walked past him, next to Spectra.
"Mira?"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"Don't do this." The only one not speaking was Natsu, who just turned towards her with a mixture of confusion….and hurt. His expression broke her heart into pieces.
"I….have no choice. My place is….with my brother, Spectra."
Spectra….Spectra….my brother Spectra…. Those words echoed through Natsu's mind. He tried his best ignore it, but….it wouldn't go away. Deep down, he knew, sadly, she was telling the truth. Her brother Keith...was also Spectra. "No…..you can't…..you can't be….." Natsu felt his heart stop as he took a few breathes. Mira couldn't bear to look at Natsu, it pained her too much.
"Come on Mira, we must return to Vestroia." With that, Spectra jumped in the portal after Gus and Lync. She slowly turned her back towards her friends while walking towards the portal.
"Mira don't! Please…" he stood up just in time to see her cry.
"I'm…..sorry…." He watched in horror as Mira jumped into the portal. Mira, the same girl who almost killed him on her motorbike, the same girl he promised to help find her brother, the same girl….he slept with the night before.
"NNNNOOOOOO!" Having enough, Natsu unleashed one of his strongest Fire dragon's Roar in the sky, hitting the device. Everyone looked in pure shock as the heat was unlike any they had ever felt. Though the flames easily burned the machine, it went high in the sky, allowing those in Wardington to see. The net quickly dissolved and he didn't waste any time in running towards the portal. "MIRA!" he reached his hand and just as he did…..the portal closed. Natsu fell on his knees before punching the ground with enough force to leave a sizeable crack. He looked to the sky and let out a roar, but it wasn't his magic attack or even an angry roar. It….was one of sorrow. The group felt their hearts drop, hearing him yell so...sadly. Finishing his roar, Natsu looked at the ground. "Why?"
"Natsu, we have to stay strong." Though Leo was also upset, he knew the mission had to come first.
"He's….he's right man. We need to get to New Vestroia now." Dan looked towards Drago. "Drago, opened up another portal so we can chase them."
"I...I don't know if I can. I'm still too exhausted from the battle with Leonidas yesterday. Perhaps I can open it for just a few seconds at best." Drago wished he had more energy in his body to do this, but he had to use what he had.
"If that's the case, then only a few of us should go, to keep the pressure off Drago." Dan, Runo and Julie looked at each other for a brief second before nodding.
"I think it's best if you guys go back to New Vestroia." The goggle-wearing brawler said, much to their surprise.
"Really? But Master Dan-"
"Yeah, my dad didn't really take it well when i told him I was leaving."
"Plus I know a lot of boys will get upset if I'm not there."
"You guys did good on your own, it's only right that you finish it." The three Resistance Brawlers were honestly touched by his words. Three of the Battle Brawlers were telling them to finish this fight. Natsu and Baron grinned while Kallen smirked.
"Alright, you can count on us!"
"Yeah, we'll make you proud Master Dan!"
"Plus there'll be more Vexo ass for me to kick." The three smiled, though Alice stepped forward with a determined expression.
"I want to go with you guys."
"EH?!" Did they just hear her right?"
"It was my fault for trusting Lync. If I didn't do that, then we would've been in New Vestroia by now." She looked down and tightened her hands. "Hydranoid, Tigrerra, everyone is suffering, and I want to help." She heard footsteps in front of her before a hand grasped her shoulder, revealing it to be a grinning Natsu.
"Well then let's go! It'll be awesome for you to help." The orange haired beauty gave him a smile before Drago began to focus his energy once more.
"Alright, once it's opened, we have to go inside, no delay!"
"Right!" Just then, a thought came up in the dragon slayer's head as he walked up to Dan.
"Dan…..thanks for everything man. You're the best." Natsu stuck out his hand with a grin, which Dan returned as he gave him a firm handshake.
"Hey, what are friends for?" The two laughed a bit before Dan had a challenging grin. "Say, if you ever come back with Drago, let's have a brawl, me and you." Natsu blinked a bit before he returned his smirk.
"That's a promise."
"RRAAAGGHHHH!" Using what little power he had left, Drago opened a medium sized portal. "We have to go now!"
"Right, seeya guys!"
"Bye, take care!"
"Call us soon!"
"Natsu, make sure you kick Spectra's ass for what he did." Natsu gave Dan a thumbs up before jumping inside the portal with Baron, Kallen and Alice behind him We're coming Mira.
"Goodbye Daniel, everyone." Drago gave Dan one last look before he entered the portal.
"Bye…..partner."
Wow, I just posted three chapters in one day. That…..is rarely ever done by me as I wanna post as soon as possible. Man, I feel like I can take over the world! HAHAHAHAHA! Jk, I can'tXD. So, I hope you guys liked this chapter as I really am looking forward to the return to New Vestroia mini arc I guess you can call it. Okay, please don't hate me for what I did with Natsu and Mira, I really do ship these two, but also wanted to follow the story. Believe me, she won't really betray them as there was a deal she made with Spectra the night before. I also hope you're happy about Alice going with them. Someone asked her to go to New vestroia and this time, she is! Will she get a new Bakugan? Will Natsu forgive Mira for what she did?(probably) and how long is it until we go back to Earthland?!
