Why hhhhhheeeeeellllllllllooooooo! The 3rd Dragneel, here with yet another chapter of my Bakugan x Fairy Tail crossover. Like I said before, since I'm in summer vacation, I can do chapters a bit faster, though remember I do have like one million stories to do(why do I do this to myself?), but still, I'm happy to write this down. Also, I might, just might, make Omakes for this, and my other stories, if you guys believe I should do this.
NinjaFang1331: haha, thanks my man:)
Docron: Yup, and I have been asked to add Alice into the team/harem, so I think this would be the best time for her to appear. Also, I am giving her a Bakugan, though it won't be too original.
GodX: Thanks, while I do have one summer class, it won't really stop me since it'll be from monday to wednesday in the morning. I will do my best to keep writing for you guys;)
Kival737101: I'm so sorry man, but there has to be some shock factor in this story, and it will only grow during the second arc.
25NaMi: Thank you, and I think the way you put the girls is actually good, I may do that as a kind of timeskip.
Antex-The Legendary Zoroark: Yup, and don't worry, I have a Bakugan ready for her to use when they go to Gamma city.
HaremLover: Hmmm, while killing Spectra is in my mind, I don't feel like Natsu should be the one to end him, though he will feel guilty about it.
So to recap last time: After the fight with Spectra, the gang learned that New Vestroia was still being controlled by the Vexos and they decided to go back, with Dan, Runo and Julie going with them. Later that night, Mira was caught contacting someone, which caused her great guilt until Natsu came in and comforted her, much to her joy. Alice was offered to go with them, though she made the mistake of bringing along Lync, who tricked her into going back with Spectra and Gus. The group was then ambushed by the three Vexos and Mira revealed her connection to Spectra and left the team, breaking Natsu's heart. With his energy low, Drago was only able to open the portal to Vestroia for a few seconds, to which Dan and his friends decided to stay on Earth, though Alice did want to go with the Resistance. After saying their goodbyes and a promise to battle when they meet, Natsu and the others entered the portal. What kind of things are in store for our heroes? Let's find out…
'New Vestroia'
A white portal opened up in the middle of the wasteland, which still had the night sky above it. Natsu and Baron jumped out of the portal and landed softly on the ground….
"AAHHH!"
Yyyyeeeeaaahhhhh, Baron kinda screwed up and landed on his butt. At least Natsu was able to jump softly. "Huh, good thing I was able to get here without falling." Natsu said proudly with a big gr-
"LOOK OUT!"
"Huh?"
*BAM*
Kinda spoke too soon as Kallen and Alice went through the portal….and landed on our favorite dragon slayer. Talk about deja vu. "Wow, you really are a good landing pad." Kallen teased while smirking at him.
"Can you guys get off?!"
"Sorry Natsu." Alice said before she and the redhead got off him as she helped Natsu stand up. She couldn't help but blush a bit as his hand was so….warm. Getting that thought out of her head, she looked around and noticed they were in the same area as before. "Drago, thank you for, Drago?" The group finally noticed the dragonoid was missing.
"It seems Drago returned to the Perfect Core." Gurin pointed out.
"That does seem logical. It wouldn't be right to leave him open for capture." Nemus added. Baron nodded before he glanced at Natsu, who was looking at the distance with a solemn expression.
"Master Natsu, are you okay?" He asked worryingly as Natsu sighed.
"Not really, just got a lot in my mind." He confessed. The memory or Mira jumping into the portal with Spectra was still in his mind, but her tears were something he was focused on. Based on that, he could tell she didn't want to do it. An angry frown crept on his face as he clenched his fists. "I'm gonna make that bastard Spectra pay for making Mira cry."
"We will in time Partner, but first we need to focus on our mission." Leonidas reminded Natsu, getting him to nod.
"First, we need to find the trailer. If this is where we were when that gate opened, then it should be nearby." With that, the group began to walk north, as that was where the trailer was last seen, hopefully. As they walked, Natsu noticed the crescent expression on Alice's admittedly beautiful face(You have to admit, she was pretty attractive, I'd even rate her number one with Mira a close second).
"Alice, you okay?"
"It's just…..I let Lync come with us, and because of that, we were distracted." Her head lowered a bit. "I should've trusted my gut, but I naively believed his lies, and because of that….." She let out a gasp as two hands were placed on her shoulders, turning her towards Natsu.
"Don't do that. Don't blame yourself for what happened. You didn't know what happened would happen." He soon gave her a smile. "Plus the fact that you gave him a chance shows just how good of a person you are. He was just too dumb to see your generosity. I think you're really awesome!" If Alice wasn't blushing before, she sure as hell was now. The tone of his voice, the seriousness of his eyes, the warmth of his body, it made the orange haired beauty's heart skip a beat. He genuinely forgave what she did and didn't fault her for what happened a few moments ago. A small smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you Natsu."
"No problem." Natsu released her shoulders, but he couldn't, for whatever reason look away from Alice's warm brown eyes. They reminded him of a certain blonde and knight.
"Hey lovebirds! You gonna keep the rest of us waiting?" Kallen's words snapped the two out of their trance as they looked away with light blushes. It wasn't long until the four found the Resistance trailer, but to their surprise, it was completely empty. "Where the hell is everyone?"
"*sniff* *sniff* I can barely smell their scent, so they must've been gone for a while." Natsu had a bad feeling about this(what? He just saw Star Wars, so you can't really blame him!) Meanwhile, Baron walked up to the driver's seat before turning the trailer on. Typing on the main console, Baron pulled up a green holomap. "So where are we?"
"According to this, the trailer is pretty close to Beat city. I wonder if Ace and the others got there already."
"But it still doesn't explain why they left it here." Nemus' words rang through everyone's head. What happened while they were in Earth? Were their friends alright? Many thoughts ran in their minds.
"Then let's get the job done." Natsu spoke up with a determined expression. "We've been gone for too long, the others would want us to keep fighting to free the Bakugan."
"I couldn't have said it better myself."
"Yeah, I'm with you Master Natsu!"
"Seriously, one minute you're a fight-hungry idiot, the next you're a damn good speaker." Despite her teasing, Kallen gave Natsu a smirk.
"I don't know if I can help, but I will." Alice wasn't going to stand around and let them do the fighting without her. She wanted, no NEEDED to help.
'Beta city'
Just a few miles from where the Resistance was stood a large fish-like dome, floating in the middle of a large and seemingly peaceful lake. Several smaller versions of the dome were scattered around it and on the top of the dome was a kind of observation deck, which we are going to focus on. An automated door opened in the deck, revealing it to be Spectra and Gus, who entered the room containing their Vexo 'friends', Mylene, Volt and Shadow Prov. The Aquos brawler turned towards them with a frown. "Spectra. You decided to grace us with your presence." Mylene said sarcastically.
"Ha, that's right, though we did have a little help from the Perfect Dragonid." Gus said with a smirk, much to their shock.
"You actually saw the Pyrus Dragonoid and didn't choose to bring him?!" Volt shouted in disbelief.
"We did battle him and as you would expect, he was more powerful." Spectra said, more amused than angry.
"Too bad you didn't stay on that stupid planet forever." Shadow said with his usual crackle.
"Nice to see you guys too." Lync said, walking behind his 'companies' who also went to Earth.
"Has there been any news Mylene?" Mylene growled in annoyance at Spectra's high and mighty attitude. Why did he of all people have to be their leader? She was more qualified than him! Her eyes widened as she noticed a certain Subterra brawler behind Spectra with a guilty frown.
"What is SHE doing here?!" Both Volt and Shadow got ready to battle Mira, only for Spectra to speak on her behalf.
"Mira here has joined the Vexos. Accept it or else." She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Mira, the leader of the Resistance, was actually switching sides! "Isn't that right, Mira?" Taking a small breath, Mira decided to speak.
"He's right." All I want to to find out what Keith and the Vexos are doing. Hopefully I can find out and tell the others.
"That was a smart move Ferman." Mira gasped as Shadow appeared in front of her. "Take it from me, the Resistance is through!" A holoscreen appeared in the room, and what it showed horrified Mira. It was Ace, Sona and Tsubaki, all unconscious inside a bubble. She knew they were gone for a while, but did this really happen?! She was so shocked, she didn't even flinch when Shadow grabbed her shoulders and laughed like a madman. "Not so tough are they? That girl with the ponytail did give me trouble, but in the end, she was no match for me. And when the others get here, this'll be them too!"
N-no, how could this happen? I'm…..I'm so sorry. Spectra noticed the conflicted expression in his sister's face. There was a….feeling of sorrow for her. Outside of the room, Lync was talking with a certain prince.
"It's good to have you back Lync. How was Spectra?" Hydron asked.
"He doesn't suspect anything. Just up to his old tricks, bossing everyone around and stuff." He heard the prince chuckle in amusement.
"Excellent. Then I will have him battle for me….just a bit longer. You know I'm counting on you, right?" The communication was cut, just before Lync let out a chuckle. Count of him he says, what a fool. The Ventus brawler turned towards Spectra and Gus, who each had a smirk on their face.
'The next day'
"So that's Beta city." kallen muttered while using binoculars Baron was able to get her from storage. It took a while for them to get their, but it was well worth the trip.
"Geez, another fish bowl? Man, these guys might as well be eating fish all day." Natsu said while shaking his head. This reminded him about Happy, who was practically in LOVE with fish that he would gladly die in a sea of it.
"I...don't really swim too good." Baron said nervously. Hell, one time he tried going to a pool and….let's just say he got his first kiss at the age of 13.
"Hmmmm, I have to admit, they were wise to put Beta city in the middle of the sea to prevent infiltration in multiple directions." Leo said.
"Should we really swim?" Alice asked. She….didn't plan on going to the beach, less get herself wet in the lake, hence why she didn't have a swimsuit. However, what they didn't expect was the sensors in Beta city detecting them.
"Well, I guess we should start swimming." Natsu was about to jump in the water...when his and the others' bodies began to glow. "What the hell?!" It was then that they were teleported into a dark arena.
"They were expecting us." Gurin said cautiously.
"So, you come back?" A voice called from the top. The lights soon turned on, revealing a large balcony with Spectra, Gus, Lync and Volt standing inside.
"You…." Natsu was glaring at the leader of the Vexos with slitted eyes. He was the reason Mira was looking tirelessly for him, yet he used her against him.
"Thought you would've learned by now Dragneel: should've stayed on Earth and not bothered coming back."
"There's no way we're letting you hurt the Bakugan any longer you bastard!" Two spotlights appeared in front of them, revealing Mylene and Shadow Prov.
"If you have anything to say, say it to us human." Mylene said with her arms crossed.
"We're here to stamp out your little Resistance into dusk." Shadow said, again laughing like a creep.
"How do we play this?" Kallen whispered to her friends. As much as she wanted to beat these assholes, the Dimension Controller was important for their mission.
"Hmmm, alright Kallen, you and I handle them while Baron and Aice, you guys try to find the controls."
"Are you sure Master Natsu? I can stay and help." Natsu smiled before ruffling the younger brawler's hair.
"I know you wanna fight, but breaking the controller is more important. I'm counting on you buddy."
"Baron, I think we should listen to him." Nemus advised before the purple haired male sighed.
"Okay…...but make sure you beat them Master!" Natsu stuck out his fist before Baron hit it with his own.
"Promise. Good luck guys." The two nodded before running to the nearest exit.
"Hey! Who said you would-"
"Just let them go Shadow, we have our opponents right here." Mylene looked at Natsu with a smirk. "It's about time I got revenge for that little stunt you pulled in our last encounter."
"You going down, just like Gray when I fight him."
"Who?"
"Forget what he said, let's do this." Both Natsu and Kallen put on their Gauntlets as the Vexos did the same.
"Gauntlet. Powerstrike!" The entire arena glowed for a brief moment, signifying the beginning of a double battle. Spectra hummed a bit before walking away. He had somewhere else to be anyways and he was damn sure Dragneel wouldn't lose.
"So, which one of you twerps wants to get their butts kicked first?!"
"I'll kick your ass fi-" Before Natsu could speak, Kallen grabbed his shoulder.
"Hang on, we need to think of a strategy while Baron and Alice take the Controller out."
"That won't be a problem Kallen. Since the Controller is above us and takes all brawling energy, if we draw out the fight long enough, then it should blow up!" Gurin said, making Natsu grin.
"I'll do more than that. I'm gonna make them pay for what they did." He then looked at Leonidas, still grinning. "Ready Leo?"
"More than ever partner." Leo said before going to ball form.
"Coming up with a strategy kiddies? You're playing with the big boys now!"
"Calm down."
"No way! I've been waiting to crush some losers all day, and I'm not gonna waste my chance!"
"Fine then, gate card set!" Natsu quickly threw in a gate card to get the first round started. "Bakugan, brawl!"
"Whatever loser, Bakugan brawl!"
"Don't forget me, Bakugan brawl!" Shadow and the two Resistance brawlers threw their Bakugan in the arena, to which Leonidas and the Vexo's strange Bakugan clashed. That is….until Gurin pushed the Pyrus Bakugan forward, forcing Shadow's Bakugan to fall back.
"Leo, stand!"
"Gurin, stand!"
"Hades, stand!" Leonidas and Gurin appeared in the battlefield in a blaze of fire. Unlike the two, Hades opened and bounced back before appearing. The four widened their eyes as the new Bakugan was a massive three-headed mechanical dragon-like machine with a grey color scheme, dark purple wings and three tails. The machine roared as it fell on its back, crashing into the stands. "No! You'll pay for that!"
"What is Vestroia's name…."
"They created another mechanical Bakugan while we were away."
"Shit, this is gonna be tougher than I thought." Kallen knew just how tough mechanical Bakugan were from her double battle with Volt and Lync. If this one was like Altair, then this was gonna be a battle.
"Hmmm, that wasn't bad for a couple of fools." Volt 'complimented' nonchalantly.
"They 'burned' Shadow good." Lync joked, though he was the only one who laughed.
"I'm gonna melt that thing!" Natsu quickly took an ability card before putting it in his Gauntlet. "Ability card, activate! Alpha Blaster Pyrus!" Leo opened his mouth, charging his fire breath attack.
"Hahaha, not so fast loser! Ability, activate! Phaser Trident!" All three of Hades' mouths opened, firing three beam of purple energy until they fused together.
"Ability, activate! Burning Wall!" Gurin slammed his right claw on the ground as a wall of fire in front of Leo, intercepting the purple beam. Leo unleashed a stream of fire that pierced through the wall, striking Hades on the chest as it fell back.
"Hades, get up!"
Hades: 600-400
Leonidas & Gurin: 550-950
"Get out of the way you idiot!" Sighing a bit, Mylene took out her own Bakugan. "Bakugan, brawl! Aquos Elico, stand!" A tornado of water shot out of the air before disappearing, revealing a bipedal human/fish hybrid with different shades of blue, six tentacle-like appendages, Wolverine-like claws on both hands and an orange gem on his chest.
"I….am ready to brawl!" Elico said while taking out his palm.
"Ability, activate! Screw Blow!" Elico pulled his arms back as water began to spin around it. He roared as he thrusted them forward, shooting two spirals of water. Both Pyrus Bakugan screamed in pain as the water engulfed them.
Elico & Hades: 800-1000
Leonidas & Gurin: 950-750
"Not bad, but we can get over it! Gate card, open! Pyrus Reactor!" Fire erupted onto the field, vaporizing the water on both Bakugan and giving them strength.
Leonidas & Gurin: 750-1050
"Thanks, now let me repay you. Ability, activate! Seven Flame Restriction!" Gurin clapped his hands together as seven pillars of fire surrounded Elico and Hades.
"Ugh, that ability." Volt still remembered how she and Tsubaki beat them with that card.
"And now ability, activate!"
"Heavy Meteor!" Leonidas reeled his head back before launched a large fireball at his opponents, who screamed in pain.
Leonidas & Gurin: 1050-1250
Hades & Elico: 1000-900
They both reverted back to ball form as they bounced in front of their brawlers, draining three and a half bars from their life gauge. "No way, Hades!" Rainbow colored energy entered the Dimensional Controller, though to Natsu and Kallen's shock, it was still fine.
"Hang on, I thought it was supposed to blow. I was sure we put in a lot of power in that last fight." Natsu said in slight anger, which only grew as Mylene chuckled.
"Do you idiots think we would allow you to overload the control like in Alpha?" She asked rhetorically. "I knew you would try this, so I recalibrated the containment field, which can take as much energy as you give." She then gave them a cruel smirk. "But by all means, keep doing what you're doing."
"Yeah, like Mylene said, we're gonna eat you like Lunch. HAHAHAHA!" Both Pyrus brawlers growled in anger. This was gonna be tough.
'With Baron and Alice'
We now turn to Baron and Alice, who were searching the insides of Beta city to try and find where the Controller's power source was so that they could help out their friends. But so far, they haven't found zip. "Ahh man, this is taking too long." Baron whined, though not too loudly as it would draw some….unwanted attention.
"Baron, we have to be patient. The power source won't be somewhere obvious." Nemus reminded.
"Hey, what does the power source look like?" Alice whispered as she had no clue what it looked like.
"Just find something glowing and with a green circle in the middle." She nodded before they continued to search for-
"AAAHHHHH!" A sudden yell echoed through the hallway, making the to jump in shock.
"What was that?!" They looked forward and noticed one of the many doors in the hallway was opened, a faint light could be seen under the door. Curious they slowly sneaked towards the door before looking inside.
"It seems the test subject has gotten better results." A vestal scientist said to his colleague as they watched a Bakugan getting electrocuted. Based on its color scheme, it was a Darkus Bakugan.
"Yes, unlike the others." The other scientist said while writing on his holopad. "Come, we should check on the others." With that, the two walked out the other door in the room. The electricity was shut off, allowing the Bakugan to fall inside its tank. Seeing the Bakugan injured, Alice quickly got into the room.
"Are you okay?" The Bakugan struggled to look at her with a 'glare.'
"What? You've come back to torture me even more? You damn Vestals can go to hell for all I care." He said coldly, much to her shock.
"But I'm not with the Vexos. I came with the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance to free you all." Baron and Nemus walked up to her to see who the Bakugan was. They were clearly a Darkus male, and from the look of his design, he looked like a kind of warrior.
"And why would I believe you?"
"She speaks the truth, Alice, Baron and a few others are doing their best to free our brothers and sisters." Hearing her name, he stood up.
"Wait, did you say….Alice?" The orange haired woman smiled.
"Yes, my name is Alice Gehabich(here actual last name, looked it up). These are my friends Baron and Nemus."
"You are her, you were Master Hydranoid's Bakugan brawler!" Baron and Alice's eyes widened at the mention of the Darkus Bakugan.
"Wait, you know Hydranoid?"
"Yes, I am Vladitor, Hydranoid's student. After I heard of his feat in helping defeat Naga, I begged him to train me so that I could do the same should a new threat arise." The newly dubbed 'Vladitor' lowered his head a bit. "We were doing our daily training when the Vexos came. He and I fought valiantly, but the Controller was too strong and we were forced into ball form." He then looked up at Alice. "Master would always talk about you whenever he could. Forgive me for my outburst before."
"It's okay, you didn't know who I was." Even though she was saddened at the mention of her former partner, Alice still kept your smile. "If Hydranoid trusts you enough to make you his student, then that's more than enough of a reason to get you out."
"Hang on…" Baron typed on the console a bit before the pod Vladitor opened up, allowing Vladitor to jump onto Alice's open palm.
"Master Alice, I would be honored to join you on your mission to defeat the Vexos and save Master Hydranoid." The original Darkus brawler was a bit surprised, but was also….divided on the matter. She didn't know if she could brawl like before, but should she really keep that inside her while the others are relying on her? Shaking those thoughts out of her mind, Alice smiled at Vladitor.
"The honor would be mine Vladitor, of course you can join us."
"Alright, another teammate means we'll be even stronger!" Baron cheered, but quickly put his hands on his mouth to prevent the scientists from before from hearing him. Alice couldn't help but giggle at his behavior, he was kinda like Na-
*RUMBLE*
The two stopped what they were doing as the ground suddenly began to shake. "It seems Natsu and Kallen are have the battle of the century."
"Maybe we should help them." Nodding in agreement, Baron and Alice once again ran through the hallway….
"Well well, what do we have here?" A sly voice called from the other side of the hallway. The two looked in shock as the speaker was none other than Spectra, who was giving them a cocky smirk. "Hello Baron, Alice."
"You!" Baron quickly stood in front of Alice, glaring at the leader of the Vexos.
"Come now, do you really think you could even come close to beating me? That's how you lost Tigrerra." Alice looked in shock while Baeron winced a bit, remembering how he lost one of the hero Bakugan. "But rest assured, I am not here to fight you. More like, lead you to your friends."
"And why would we ever trust you?" Nemus questioned while also glaring at Spectra, whose smirk grew slightly.
"You can't, but I just released your friends, who were in stasis pods after their defeat at the hands of Mylene, Volt and Shadow Prov. If you don't believe me, then don't go to the door at the end of the hallway to see them wake up." He slowly walked past them as they stayed their, frozen. "Oh, and tell Dragneel that I'm looking forward to our next encounter." With that, he walked away.
"Ace, Sona, Tsubaki lost? There's no way!"
"I….think he was telling the truth." Alice didn't want to admit it, but…..Spectra wasn't lying. He might have been lying like Lync, but his tone, he wasn't lying. "We should at least check." Scrunching his nose a bit, Baron reluctantly nodded as he and Alice ran to the end of the hallway. As Spectra said, the door at the end of it was open. Looking through it, they saw something they would never forget: Ace, Sona and Tsubaki, they were all on the ground, their Bakugan were next to their heads as they were unconscious.
"GUYS!" Hearing someone calling them, the three slowly began to open their eyes.
"Hmmm, Baron?" Ace mumbled groggily as he slowly pushed himself up.
"Ace, it's really you!" The Haos brawler quickly ran to his friend's side to help him up.
"Where are we?" Sona said out loud while rubbing her head.
"I do not know." Tyna admitted as she and the other Bakugan woke up. "The last thing I remember was battling Volt and that was it."
"Who are you?" Tsubaki asked Alice as she helped her up.
"Oh right, guys this is Alice, the original Darkus brawler!" The three widened their eyes in shock.
"The first Darkus brawler, it is an honor to meet you." Percival said with a bow.
"Please, the honor is mine. Natsu and the others had told me a lot about you."
"Natsu, where is he? And where's Mira?!"
*RUMBLE*
The room was once again interrupted by another shake. "What was that?!" Ingram asked in shock.
"That has to be Leonidas and Gurin. They're currently facing Mylene and Shadow Prov."
"Yeah, let's go check on them." Nodding in agreement, the group ran towards the arena.
'With Natsu and Kallen'
"Hahahaha! You chums are so done for!" Shadow Prov taunted while laughing like a maniac and putting in another ability card. "Double ability, activate! Phaser Trident plus Photon Tail!" Hades opened his three mouths and aimed them at Leo while aiming its tails at Gurin. The mouths fried three beams of energy while the tails shot purple lightning.
"AAHHHHH!" Both Pyrus Bakugan screamed in pain as the attacks successfully struck them.
"LEO/GURIN!"
Leonidas: 600-300
Gurin: 650-300
"Weak, weak, you guys are so weak!" Mylene narrowed her eyes as she took out Elico.
"This is too easy." She said and was about to throw in Elico….when Shadow spoke up.
"Woah, hold up. You'll get burned if you get in the way." He mockingly waved a card in front of her.
"Fine, then get it done."
"Shit, we aren't doing too good." Natsu said rhetorically.
"Really? Cause I thought we were doing awesome." Kallen said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
"Hahahaha, gate card open, Darkus Reactor!" Shadows began to cover the area as Hades' power increased.
Hades: 600-700
"And now, your end!" To their disgust, Shadow licked, yes LICKED his Gauntlet.
"Ah dude! That's just nasty! Ugh, and I thought metal freak eating iron was bad!" Natsu's face scrunched up a bit.
"Ability, activate! Saurer Cannon!" Hades' chest spikes suddenly opened up, allowing three long cannon barrels to pop out. They soon began to focus purple energy inside.
Hades: 700-1600
"Shit, that's a lot of power! Ability, activate! Firedrive!" Leonidas' body suddenly turned to flames, trying his best to drain Hades.
Leonidas: 300-500
Hades: 1600-1300
Hades roared in the air as it fried three beams of purple energy, towards Leo…...only for Gurin to jump in front. "GURIN?!"
"Ability, activate! Heat Pulse!" Kallen shouted as she put in an ability card. Gurin extended his arms as an intense amount of heat waves appeared in front of him, muffling the attack.
Gurin: 350-650
Hades: 1300-1000
Despite holding back the attack as much as he could, Gurin was still struck on the chest, making him scream in agony as he reverted back to ball form and draining his brawler's life gauge by three and a half bar.. Kallen crossed her arms as the force of the attack sent her flying, only for Natsu to catch her from behind. "Kallen, are you okay?" The redhead opened her eyes and saw his arms wrapped securely around her waist, making her blush slightly.
"I-I'm fine." She quickly unwrapped his arms and picked up Gurin. "Bought you some time to beat these guys, don't waste it."
"But why? You shouldn't sacrifice yourself for your friends, you keep going for them." She sighed a bit before looking him straight in the eye.
"I get you don't want me to take risks, but the reason I did that is because we know you and Leo have the power to beat them You're our best chance to win this fight and free the Bakugan. After all, even Drago trusts you."
"Wow, I can't believe you actually did that. Man, you Resistance brawlers are a bunch of fools. Get the other one Hades!"
"..."
"Hades?!" Shadow Prov looked at his Bakugan….only to see he was standing completely still, like a rock.
"You idiot! Using that ability card may have defeated one of their Bakugan, but it now has to recharge." Volt shouted with a shake of his head.
"Oh come on you hunk of junk! You're making me look bad here!"
"Enough of your foolery, Bakugan brawl!" Elico suddenly appeared on the field. "It doesn't matter how much power you have, both of you will fall. Just like…..your friends." Natsu, kallen and leonidas widened their eyes at her words.
"What did you say?"
"HAHAHAHA! She's right. You're little friends that you left here all alone are now being treated to a nice little nap, courtesy of our slumber pods!" A large screen appeared in the middle of the arena, showing Ace, Sona and Tsubaki all inside the pods. Kallen's eyes began to twitch as Natsu slowly began to shake. "I have to admit, that girl with the ponytail almost got me, but Hades was too strong for her little birdy, HAHAHAHA!"
"That fool Ace stood no chance against Elico. He was so focused on finding his sweet little Mira. Talk about pathetic."
"Percival, Ingram…..Tyna." Leonidas growled in anger, thinking about his friends.
"I-If you…...hurt them….." Natsu's bangs shadowed his expression as his body began to glow, along with Leo's.
"Awww, what's the matter? You gonna cry because all your playmates are gone and Mira left you? Don't worry pinky, you'll see them soon! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Perhaps when we win…..perhaps we will experiment with their Bakugan." Mylene gave them a dark smirk…..
*BOOM*
"RRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!" Both Natsu and Leonidas roared in pure anger as their bodies began to glow, signifying the activation of Dragon Bond.
"Ohhh, this is a surprise." Lync said with a whistle, though Gus was narrowing his eyes at this.
Dragon Bond, the technique only Dragneel and his Bakugan know. Though he had witnessed Natsu use this, something was…...different about this.
"You hurt our friends long enough! We're going to make you pay!" The flames that covered Leonidas' body began to intensify, making those in the dome sweat. But then, something incredible happened…..
(Play Fairy Tail-Lightning Flame Dragon Roaring)
*CRACK*
…...lightning began to mix in with the fire, making Natsu and Leo roar even more. Kallen, Gurin and the Vexos widened their eyes in pure shock as the very ground itself began to shake from the power being emitted. Hell, it even began to crack under his feet. No way, I still have it?!
Partner, what is this….this power? It feels amazing!
It's…..a gift, from a friend. Mentally grinning, Natsu and Leonidas both glared at Elico and Hades, the latter was astonished beyond belief.
"W-what kind of power is this?!" Elico demanded, a beat of sweat ran down his right cheek.
"How did Pinky do that?! I want it too!"
Incredible, this was what Spectra and Gus talked about when they said Natsu Dragneel was more than meets the eye. Even the normally calm Mylene was shocked by this new development.
"Natsu…..Leo…." Even though the lightning-coated flames were hot, Kallen felt a sense of….hope radiating from them.
"Don't stand there Elico, destroy them! Ability, activate! Screw Blow!" Shaking his thoughts away, Elico once again launched two spirals of water at Leonidas, whose flames quickly dissolved the water as steam covered his body. "Then ability, activate! Scramble Zwei!" Elico's body began to glow a blue aura as he charged towards the steam cloud.
"I don't care what power you have, I'll still win!" Elico raised his claw and moved in for the kill…..
…...only for Leonidas to grab his arm effortlessly. "What?!"
"Gggrrrrrrrrrr…." Elico froze as he was staring at Leonidas' red eyes, which had a killer look in it. Before he could respond, Leonidas suddenly squeezed his arm, making him scream in pain from both the fire and the lightning coursing through his body.
"THIS IS FOR PERCIVAL!" Roaring in anger, Leo threw Elico into the stands.
"Lightning Flame Dragon Talon!" Igniting his foot ablaze, Leo slammed it on Elico's chest, making him gasp in pain. Then, a suddenly bolt of lightning came from the sky, making him scream even louder.
"How is this possible?! Scramble Zwei was Elico's ultimate ability, and he's taking him down like he was nothing!" Leonidas raised Elico high in the air before throwing him in front of Hades, who was still charging up.
"Hurry up Hades, he's coming!" Hearing the name of the mechanical machine, Leonidas glared deeply at Hades.
"Time to scrap this thing." Pushing his talons on the ground, Leo lunged forward. "Lightning Flame Dragon Iron Fist!" Pulling back a lightning/flame coated claw, Leonidas slammed it onto Hades' chest, causing some cracks to appear on it.
"WARNING, DAMAGE TO BATTERY HAS BEEN DETECTED. CHARGE SYSTEM HAS HALTED." The A.I. said out loud, making Shadow gasp.
"Nononono!"
"RRRAAAAAGGGHHHHH!" Leonidas didn't stop his assault as he continued to smash his claws into Hades, breaking it off piece by piece. "Give me your face!" He grabbed its right head…...and began to pull on it.
*RIP*
Soon, he tore off its right head, showing the inside of the cranial area. "Lightning Flame Dragon Wing Attack!" Opening up his arms, he slammed two whips of lightning, flame coated energy on Hades' wings, breaking them apart. The Vexos were beyond shocked that a living Bakugan was actually breaking Hades apart, bit by bit. Too focused on the fight, they failed to notice a certain group of brawlers entering the arena.
"Woah, that's Leo!" Ace shouted in pure shock, getting Kallen's attention.
"Guys, you're alright."
"It's good to see you Kallen." Tsubaki said with a small smile as she gave her friend a hug, which she returned.
"What's going on, and why is Leo covered in lightning?" Sona question as she saw Leo claw at Hades' neck, leaving a visible mark.
"We have no idea. When Natsu saw you three in those pods, he went angry, along with Leonidas." Gurin said. Tyna looked at the dragon Bakugan with a small blush.
He was worried….about us? She thought with a warm feeling creeping in her heart.
"YOU ARE TAKING ANYONE ELSE FROM US!" Grabbing Hades' tails, Leo began to spin him around before throwing it into the stands. Taking a few breaths, Natsu and Leo began to suck in the lightning flames covering their mouths, charging up their power. "Lightning Flame Dragon….." Both brawler and Bakugan pulled their heads back with their eyes closed…..
…...until they opened them. "RRRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!" Leonidas unleashed a MASSIVE stream of fire, mixed with lightning just as Hades was done charging. The mechanical Bakugan only had a moment to look as the breath attack struck its whole upper body from the stomach down. It screamed in agony as the fire engulfed it entirely. Shadow and Mylene jump to opposite sides, avoiding any excess flames from burning them. The shockwaves from Leo's attack struck Elico, forcing him back into ball form and draining the rest of his brawler's life gauge. The breath attack didn't stop from there as it went through the wall of the battle arena.
"WOAH!" Mira did her best to stay balanced as it felt like the whole city was shaking. Natsu, is this you?
"Hmmmm…." Spectra put a hand on the wall to keep himself from falling, curious as to who was causing this.
*BOOM*
Then…..fire suddenly pierced through the hallway walls, just a few feet from the siblings. Spectra watched the fire with an unusual mixture of lighting pass through the wall in front of him, his eyes actually widened in shock. Meanwhile Mira did her best to hold on as the pressure of the fire was pushing her back. The dragon roar pierced through several building before finally pushing through the Beta city dome, shooting into the sky several dozen feet before dissipating.
(Song end)
"What the hell was that?!" Like everything around Leo, the balcony Lync, Volt and Gus were in shook greatly, some of the glass inside shattered within moments. Shadow Prov coughed in his hand as he stood up.
"Hades." The smoke slowly cleared as a shadowy figure stood. Once it disappeared, everyone could see what Hades looked like. Well, the good news was that it was standing. The bad news was….that's all that remained! Aside from its legs, Hades was completely gone, melted into nothingness. Shadow and even Mylene were shocked at what Leo just did. Speaking of Leonidas, he and Natsu were still giving them a glare that could kill, though their flames were gone.
"T-this can't be. My plan was…..perfect." Mylene muttered, actually shaking in fear.
"POWER OVERLOAD, OVERLOAD, OVERLOAD, OVERJWHUHEUFBEUFH." The Dimension Controller began to overload before the green crystal shattered into pieces. Soon, Percival, Nemus, Gurin, Tyna and Ingram returned to their true forms. Natsu and Leo smiled at each other before falling on their knees, clearly exhausted from the power.
"Natsu!" His ears perked before a pair of arms helped him up. He looked in shock as his friends, excluding Mira, were all there.
"Guys?"
"That was some battle." Sona said with a smile.
"Yes, that power was incredible." Tsubaki added, only to gasp as Natsu suddenly hugged her, Sona and Ace. "NATSU?!"
"You're alright!" The two females blushed a storm, yet felt…..safe and warm. As for Ace….
"Let go of me you idiot!" If there was one thing Ace hated, it was being hugged. He shoved Natsu off while fixing his clothes. "Anyways, what the hell was-"
"We'll explain later, we must go now!" Vladitor shouted stoically. Everyone nodded, but Leo looked at Tyna.
"It's….good to see you again Tyna."
"Thank you for destroying the Dimension Controller." Tyna said with a smile and if one looked closely, they could see Leonidas blushing. The dragon used a breath attack to make an opening for he and the others to use.
'With the Vexos'
"Dammit, I can't believe they destroyed the Controller!" Mylene said, obviously outraged by her sudden defeat. She turned towards Spectra with a deep glare. "This is all your fault Spectra!"
"No, it isn't." Mira spoke up, a bit timedly.
"Quiet you! You took the enemy in and look what happened."
"Do you really doubt me Mylene?" Spectra shot back with a calm tone.
"You know, if someone is to blame, it would be you Mylene!" Gus shouted.
"Excuse me?!"
"Of course, you were the one who lost the battle to Dragneel and that girl, yet you accuse Master Spectra?" Mylene growled in anger while Volt simply closed his eyes.
"Who cares! That pink haired monster destroyed my Hades!" Shadow Prov shouted as he grabbed the nearest chair and threw it at the wall.
"Wanna see the recording of your failure?" Lync teased with a smirk from the terminal.
"Shut it you twerp!" As they bickered amongst themselves, Mira was in deep thought.
I came here to find answers, but now I have even more questions. She then looked at her brother, thinking about what he did before.
Flashback, a few minutes ago….
As Natsu and Kallen brawled, Mira snuck into the prison cell, where her friends were still in their pods. "Ace, Sona, Tsubaki, I'm sorry for this." Mira said in regret as she went to the terminal and began typing on it. She put in some codes, but they all ended in failure. "Come on, come on."
"What are you doing in here?" Mira gasped in shock as she looked at the doorway to see her brother, who was giving an unreadable expression.
"Keith…."
"Like I said: what are you doing?" He stepped forward, still giving her a blank expression.
"I…...want to free them. They don't deserve to be locked up here. I'm sorry." She looked away, worried that he will rat her out. He walked forward…...and to the terminal. Her eyes widened as he typed on it as the pods began to drain, allowing the three brawlers to fall out.
"You are in my debt Mira, don't forget it."
"Thanks but, why Kei-"
"My name's not Keith, I am Spectra Phantom!" She flinched a bit at his tone as he walked away. Mira looked at her friends one last time before exiting the room.
Flashback end
What are you upto Keith? Mira was going to have a tough time now.
Wow, this was one of my longest chapters in this story. I made a 30 page chapter for my story Dueling Tail, but this….wow. So I hope you guys loved the introduction of the Lightning Flame Dragon mode in Dragon Bond. I always planned on this appearing, but not in the end of this arc. As you can see, it does drain Natsu and Leo, but they will eventually learn to use it without draining all their reserves. I did want some moments with Kallen and Alice, especially since next chapter Natsu will talk to the girls, as well as Ace and Baron. Also, I hope you guys like Alice's new Bakugan and if you hadn't noticed, it was the same Vladitor from the games. Have Leonidas here, might as well add him too.
So I am happy to say we are about six chapters away from the end of the Vexos arc. Things will get crazier in the future, I can assure you of that. Now that Mira has seen Keith do what he did, will she be able to change his mind. How will Shadow Prov brawl without a Bakugan, will Natsu get his first kiss soon, and when will I finally watch Wonder Woman?! Also, I wanna know: would you want to see how Mira is doing or watch Natsu interact with his friends and even tell them about Fairy Tail. Let me know in the reveiws.
