Why hhhhhhhhheeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooo everyone. It is I, The 3rd Dragneel, back with the beginning of our second arc, the Return the Earthland arc for Bakugan The Dragon Slayer Saga! I am so happy you guys really loved the last arc, and I promise, this arc is gonna be emotional, action packed, and romantic(keep in mind, I have never had a girlfriend, so my romantic senses are very bad lol.) If you had stuck around for the epilogue, then you would see that a third party is coming to face our heroes, and let's just say they'll make the Vexos look like child's play.
Kival737101: Hahaha, yeah I'm glad you enjoyed that fight. I wanted to make it as epic as I could, plus even with Dragon Bond, Natsu is leagues away from reaching the power of the Perfect Core. Trust me, it'll be a sweet reunion.
Antex-The Legendary Zoroark: Thanks, sorry it took a while.
NinjaFang1331: Thanks.
Dragneel Vanquisher: Thank you and trust me, this chapter will be good.
25NaMi: Thank you!
Neo Infinity: Thank you and yeah, they really did need to ask considering she was the first to kiss AND confess to Natsu.
Jerry Gabo703: Thank you my man.
Docron: Trust me, it'll be awesome.
Thethethex34: Considering he is gonna have 8 months of extra training, he will kinda be a king, believe me.
Neostardustdragon101: You said that with the reveal of the Lightning Flame Dragon Bond, lol, but yeah, thank you for that compliment. Well I did kinda rush it, but hey, there are timeskips, so screw the rules! Agreed, he can't beat the Perfect Core, even with all his power.
The Fanfiction Titan: Wow, thank you my dude. Hmmmm, I will consider that for future preference since the next group of villains are pretty intelligent.
So to recap: After their victory over the Vexos, the Resistance and their Bakugan began to relax, with the females discussing their own feelings towards Natsu. Unfortunately for them, Natsu had heard their 'confessions,' yet he admits he genuinely cares for them and he had confusing feelings towards them as well. Kallen then suggested they form a harem for the dragon slayer, much to their embarrassment. However and shockingly, Mira asked Natsu if he was willing to do this, which he agreed. Just then, the Six Ancient Warrior Bakugan arrived to congratulate the Resistance on their victory and offered to return Natsu back to Earthland, but to everyone's surprise, he refused, believing he needs more training if he would ever save his family. Accepting his answer in the condition that he would return when Fairy Sphere is gone, the three Vestal members of the Brawlers began saying their farewells as they planned to reveal the truth about the Bakugan to their people, with Mira giving Natsu one last kiss until they met again. Returning to Earth with Drago, Natsu challenged Dan to their long awaited brawl, which ended with his own defeat. Little did they know, a new threat was just above the horizon, ready to fight our heroes. So, what have our favorite Dragon Slayer and his new harem been up to? Let's find out…
'Kozuki Residence, 8:30 PM'
It's been eight whole months since New Vestroia had been freed from the Vexos and to say they've been peaceful would kinda be an understatement. Our Bakugan Brawlers have had such a good time, not having to worry about Dimension Controls and what not. Sona and her partner Tyna were sealing a deal with the Sitri family and their business partners. Tsubaki was doing helping around her house while also finishing up her Midterm(which she passed with flying colors.) Dan was being his usual self, though he and Drago were having a blast connecting again. The same could be said for Runo, Julie and their short friend Marucho. Alice decided to go back to Russia to show her Grandpa the good news, though she would sometimes come over to hang. As for Natsu….he's been getting used to Earth and everything it provided. From movies to video games(which he really liked) to even some of the sports, mainly boxing. Not only that, but he's been telling us some of the craziest stories about his home Earthland. Gotta admit, I wouldn't mind going there for a vacation. Hopefully momo will be okay with me going, though she was pretty cool with me going to New Vestroia…...again. A small sigh escaped the lips of one Kallen Kozuki, who put her pen down from continuing her journal. It was just something she thought she'd do a few months back, just for fun. The redhead couldn't really believe the kinds of stuff that went on after New Vestroia. Sure she liked her quiet life(at least in her opinion), but still, there was a part of her that missed the brawling and stuff, especially kicking some Vexos ass. The Vexos haven't done anything in eight months. I hope you guys were able to change the people's minds Mira. She thought while leaning against her desk chair.
"Something on your mind Kallen?" Gurin asked while rolling to her, a hint of concern was laced in his voice.
"Just thinking."
"You've been doing that for a while now. Mind sharing a bit?" A small chuckle came out of Kallen before she sat back up.
"I'm just a bit bored, ya know? Just wished that something interesting would happen." The red Bakugan nodded in understanding as he too was a bit bored.
*Ring, ring*
The buzzing from her ZTE Max XL phone caught Kallen's attention. Picking up the phone, she pressed answer before putting it against her ear. "Hello? Huh? Woah, slow down Alice. What are you-" Kallen's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, are you serious?! And you're sure that it's them? Okay okay, I'll let the others know. Okay, see ya in a few, bye." Kallen quickly hung up before putting her phone in her blue jeans.
"Kallen, what's going on?" The redhead quickly put on her white button shirt while picking up Gurin with a smirk.
"Something interesting."
'Several hours later'
"So Alice said she found something in the Dimensional Gate?" Dan said in shock, to which Kallen nodded. Currently, he along with Runo, Julie, Sona, Tsubaki, and Marucho were on the former's family jet to go see what the huge fuss was about.
"Yeah, and from the way she was talking, it sounds like good news." Kallen said while leaning against the couch.
"But shouldn't we have told Natsu, or brought him along?" Tsubaki asked in her usual worried tone. Kallen gathered everyone EXCEPT the one person Mira might want to see. But in her defense, Natsu was still sleeping, so it wouldn't really be polite to wake him.
"Relax, he probably just wants to sleep." Runo said with a shrug.
"Besides, imagine how much of a surprise it'll be for him to see Mira. I can see sparks flying!" Julie squealed, believing this to be like one of her romance novels.
"It'll be good to see her again." Sona admitted with a small smile.
"I agree. Seeing Wilda and the others will be good." Tyna added with her own 'smile.' The large monitor suddenly turned on, revealing Marucho's smiling face.
"Attention everyone! We're now entering Moscow. Please keep your hands and feet inside the plane as we begin our descend. And thank you for flying air Marucho!" Marucho said before the monitor turned off. The plane slowly began to fly down until it gently landed on the snowy terrain of Moscow. The back doors opened, allowing the Brawlers to exit the vehicle. "It's been awhile since I've been to Moscow."
"Yeah. Hey, maybe we can have a snowball fight later."
"Guys!" The group looked to the left and saw Alice running towards them with a big smile.
"Alice!" The orange haired beauty stopped a few feet, still smiling.
"I'm glad you guys came." Her smile was replaced with a curious expression as she noticed a lack of pink hair. "Ummm, where's Natsu?"
"He's taking a nap back at Sona's place. Plus we wouldn't wanna spoil the surprise, am I right?" Alice nodded before gesturing the group to follow her inside her grandfather's laboratory. Said person was currently typed on his computer when he heard several footsteps behind him. Turning around, a small smile appeared on his face as he recognized his guests.
"Everyone, welcome." He said in a friendly tone. "I trust everything's going well for all of you?"
"That's right Doctor Michael. Alice told us you picked up something. Is it what I think it is?" The old man nodded before activating his Dimensional Gate, revealing the white portal.
"I think you'll all recognize who it is." The Brawlers smiled as a figure could be seen walking through the gate. Stepping forward a few feet, the figure was revealed to be a smiling Mira Clay, daughter of Professor Clay and sister to Spectra Phantom.
"Hey there strangers, miss me?"
'Deep space'
Deep within the vast emptiness of space floated a large palace that resembled a crystal on the top and a yellow spire that held it up. This is the Palace of the Royal Family…...or at least it WAS the Palace of the Royal Family, until they were exiled from their homeworld of Vestal after the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance foil their plans. Inside the very top of the Palace was the throne room, and the one sitting on it was former king Zenoheld. The former king noticed his throne beeping, which indicated a transmission was sent for him. Pressing a few buttons, a screen appeared out of thin air, revealing professor Clay, who still had his bruns from his last encounter with Natsu Dragneel, a person of interest to the king. "King Zenoheld, I have a status report for you." Clay said while bowing in respect. The king grunted a bit before nodding to Clay to continue. "The Bakugan Terminator System is finally complete. Our preliminary tests indicate that it is fully functional and ready to go online. Once activated, the BT System will destroy any Bakugan caught within a six thousand kilometer radius." Clay looked up at his king with a small frown. "The only thing left is gather Pyrus, Subterra, Haos, Darkus, Aquos and Ventus, the six super powered attributes needed to charge the systems."
"It sounds like things are on schedule. Please continue with your work." Zenoheld said with a smirk as Clay bowed one last time before the transmission was cut. "Those brawlers may have forced me to leave Vestal, but with the BT System, I shall have my revenge against those who've disgraced me." Little did the former king know, his whole conversation was being eavesdropped.
"Oh my, he really is a cocky one huh?" A feminine voice said with a giggle.
"Tch, he's nothing but an arrogant old fool." A calm male voice said with a scoff. Another male turned to his right, looking at a large throne, which was currently occupied.
"Damus, when do we strike?" The figure asked his leader, who simply leaned against his throne.
"We wait. If Zenoheld is successful with the capture of the six Attributes, then we will assault his palace and take them."
"And if he fails?" A smirk appeared on Damus' face at the question.
"Then we can use him and his Vexos to find the swords."
'Back on Earth'
"It really is good to see all of you again." Mira said with a smile as she was currently sitting on the couch, Runo and Julie sitting beside her. "You look great Runo, Julie."
"Aww, thanks Mira!" Julie said with her usual upbeat attitude.
"Hey, did you do something with your hair?" Runo asked as she noticed Mira's hair was a bit longer, maybe by a few inches.
"Yeah, I'm glad you noticed."
"Let me guess, it's for a certain fire eater?" Kallen teased, smirking as she saw Mira blush a bit.
"M-maybe."
"Trust me girl, Natsu will be head over heels for you once he sees you. *Gasp* are you guys gonna go on a date?!" For the past few months, Natsu was the unfortunate victim of Julie's dating lessons, which in his opinion were like riding a train nonstop for hours. But to his credit, he hadn't really gotten a complaint from his dates with his other….girlfriends? It was still a bit weird, even if they all agreed to share him. Anyways, Mira could only blush more thinking about a date with her crush.
"Believe me, Natsu will be more than happy to see you again." Sona reassured with a smile, which Mira returned.
"Thanks. I just hope he's doing alright."
"Oh he is Mira. It took some time, but I believe Natsu is used to Earth." Tsubaki chimed with a smile, though she did recall him almost burning something…...almost everyday…..for the past few months. But hey, he's gotten….a little better at that.
"So Natsu was willing to go so far as to charge at Leonidas, even under the control of Spectra?" Marucho asked Dan, who nodded.
"Yup, as crazy as it might sound, Natsu was willing to risk himself to save his Bakugan, kinda like what I did for Drago." Dan said, recalling the time he willingly jumped into a doom portal to follow Drago. It was risky, but well worth it to save his friend. Chucking those thoughts away, Dan glanced at Mira. "So Mira, how's everything been since you left?"
"Well Baron and Ace have been getting used to being on Vestal again and well…...things have been a bit tough." She recalled almost being arrested for false accusation towards the Royal Family. "It took a while, but we were finally able to show the people of Vestal the truth about the Bakugan and as a result, the Royal Family was banished for deceiving us and using the Bakugan as weapons."
"Trust me, a lot of people were curious about the Bakugan when they found out they could talk. I mean, you can't even imagine the kinds of questions they asked me." Wilda said with a tired sigh.
"But it's good that the people have finally opened their eyes." Drago said, relieved that any other conflict with the Vestals have been averted.
"Greetings Wilda." Tigrerra called out, getting his attention. "I am Tigrerra. Thank you for saving me from the Vexos."
"I am Gorum. I've heard a lot about you. It's an honor to meet you." Gorum said in his usual strong tone.
"Please, the honor is mine."
"Attention everyone." Kayto said from the monitor. "We are about to arrive at the Sitri residence. I thank you for flying air Marucho."
"Hey, check it out!" Dan called out as everyone else gathered behind him. Mira's eyes widened as she saw which building she and the others were heading towards. It was about 8 stories high with greyish-colored walls and a large sign with the word 'Sitri' on top. On the roof, a large H-landing pad was on top, which they were slowly beginning to land on.
"A-amazing! And this is your home Sona?"
"Yes, the Sitri family specializes in technology for the future." The violet eyed beauty then looked at Marucho with a smile. "We're even collaborating with Marucho's family to help expand our horizons."
"Yup, we might have something for the Bakugan later down the road." Marucho added with his own smile. The plane landed softly on the Helipad before the backdoors opened once more, allowing the passengers to exit. Entering the elevator to go to the fifth floor, the group began walking through a long hallway, which had light blue walls, a marble floor with a red rug in the middle, as well as some stone statues and picture frames on the wall.
"Since you arrived, I had some of my cooks make us a celebration lunch in honor of your arrival."
"You didn't need to do that Sona." The black haired female shook her head, still smiling.
"It's alright. You are a guest here, so it would be rude not to celebrate."
"Umm, do you know where-"
*Crash*
"AAHHHH!" A male voice yelled from one of the doors. Everyone aside from Mira and Wilda slightly sweatdropped, knowing who exactly made that noise.
"Shouldn't we help them?" Kallen patted Mira's shoulder while holding a deadpan expression.
"Trust me, you don't have to worry about him. Come on." A bit curious, Mira followed the redhead to the doorframe, but what she saw caused her to freeze in place.
"Dammit, I thought I had it!" The male said in irritation while holding two strange black devices in a boxing manner. The male was a lean, muscular young man with tan skin and pink hair that reached his shoulders. He wore a black T-shirt with a flame logo in the middle, brown shorts, black opened toe sandals and a white scaly scarf around his neck. On his face was an Oculus Rift gaming device.
"You realize you broke another vase, right partner?" Leonidas said from the coffee table, slightly sweatdropping as Natsu swung left and right.
"Come on, I'm right here!" While the others chuckled at his antics, Mira was of a different opinion. It had been 8 months since she had been on Earth, 8 months since she last saw her friends. 8 months…...since she's seen him. Natsu Dragneel, the person who warmed her heart and helped her find love, the same guy who stopped her people, even her brother from taking over New Vestroia. She hadn't even realized she was slowly walking towards him, trying not to be detected. Leonidas let out a small gasp as he saw her, but one hush from Mira was all he needed to stay quiet. "Leo, did you say something?" A scent entered Natsu's nose. He recognized most of them, yet there was one that was…...different. He felt familiar with it, yet he couldn't put a finger on it. A pair of soft hands cupped his cheeks and before he could react, soft lips pressed against his own. Under the gaming device, his eyes widened as he instantly recognized who this was. Mira simply enjoyed the kiss she initiated, feeling his lips against hers felt magical, which kinda makes sense since he he IS a wizard. Pulling back from the kiss with a small blush, Mira smiled at Natsu's dumbstruck look before she helped remove the Oculus from his eyes. "M-Mira?"
"Hey." Her heart skipped a beat as he gave her that grin she always loved before pulling her into a hug.
"It really is you!" The Subterra brawler simply smiled while returning his embrace. It was truly a beautiful moment for those watching.
"Hehehe, man is he a ladiesman." Dan joked with a smirk. A part of him was envious about Natsu having a harem, though he would have to keep it hidden since a certain Haos brawler would kill he before he could even get another girlfriend.
"Like your surprise hotshot?" Kallen called out with her own smirk before Natsu and Mira ended their hug, though he did keep an arm around her waist.
"You guys knew she was coming, but you didn't tell me?"
"We wanted it to be a surprise Natsu. Sorry."
"But OMG, you two are sssssssooooooo cute together!" Julie cooed. "I so ship you two, after Natsu and Alice of course."
"Well, now that that's settled, we should all get to the mess hall for lunch." The male Pyrus brawlers' stomachs suddenly began to growl.
"Alright, let's it!" The others simply laughed at Natsu and Dan before they made their way towards the dining hall. Along the way, Natsu felt a hand grab his own, revealing it to be a rather embarrassed Mira.
"S-sorry." To her relief, he simply smiled at her while holding her hand as well.
"I missed you."
"Me too." It wasn't long before the group arrived at the dining hall, which was colored a beautiful amber color with velvet carpet, but the thing that caught everyone's attention was the three rows of tables, each with large portions of food, ranging from a simple appetizer to dessert. Needless to say, they were impressed.
"This looks amazing Sona." Tsubaki commented with a soft smile. Even if she and the others have had lunch here before, it still amazed her how much her friend could do.
"We should hold off on the eating. First, let's have a-"
*Crunch*
Sona was cut off when the sound of crunching could be heard. Looking at the left table, everyone sweatdropped as they saw Natsu eating a large chicken leg. "What?" He asked innocently before they all sighed.
"Natsu, we have to do a toast for Mira first."
"Oh right…...sorry hehe." He quickly put his food down before he and others got a glass of juice.
*Cling*
"Cheers! To our friendship, and our bond!"
"Man, it's good to have you back Mira."
"Thanks." Mira gasped in realization. " I almost forgot." Reaching into her small bag, the Vestal pulled out a yellow, brown and blue Gauntlet before presenting them to Runo, Julie and Marucho respectively, much to their surprise. "These are for you guys in case you wanted to brawl."
"Wow, thanks Mira!"
"This is amazing." Marucho commented while checking out his new Gauntlet. He would need to do some tinkering for future reference, especially for his and Sona's 'side project.' Little did any of them know, dark forces were coming.
'Elsewhere in space'
In a rather empty moon orbiting the planet Vestroia stood a white rover. Inside said rover was none other than Zenoheld, who was accompanied by Professor Clay and several technicians. "Based on the information gathered by our technicians, we've calculated what we believe to be the six correct frequencies to reach the intended targets." Clay said while standing next to his king.
"You had better hope this works Clay." Zenoheld said with some impatience in his voice.
"Begin transmission!"
"Beginning transmission sir." A large antennae shot out of the back of the rover before sending a large signal in all directions.
"Are you receiving the same message I am?" Apollonir asked his fellow Ancient Warriors as the signal Zenoheld was sending was being caught by them. "It would seem Zenoheld is challenging us to a battle."
"I hear it too. He's demanding us to surrender our six attribute energies." Exedra said.
"He's also saying if we refuse, he'll destroy all of the Bakugan." Frosch added before a pregnant silence took over. They all knew that this could very well be a trap, yet they couldn't risk the lives of the Bakugan. Not after their predecessors had given them this task.
"He's clearly desperate, we should just ignore him." Clayf said nonchalantly.
"And what if his threat is really?" Oberus added.
"Even if it's a trap, we cannot allow such a threat to the Bakugan go unpunished." Everyone nodded in agreement before they all opened a portal. Seconds later, they reappeared on the moon, where Zenoheld was standing on his rover with his arms crossed.
"Ahh, Ancient Warriors. It seems you've accepted my invitation." Zenoheld said somewhat arrogantly. "I thought I would have to find you if you didn't arrive." The former king then jumped off the rover while Frosch laughed.
"You're sadly mistaken my foolish man."
"We aren't agreeing to your initiation." Lars Lion said as Zenoheld raised a brow.
"We've only come to address the threat you made against the Bakugan." Apollonir's eyes began to glow before a vision of a large machine appeared in his eyes.
"Once activated, the BT System will destroy any Bakugan caught within a six thousand kilometer radius. The only thing left is to gather Pyrus, Subterra, Haos, Darkus, Aquos and Ventus, the six super powered attributes needed to charge the systems."
"This BT System of yours!"
"The one YOU designed to destroy Bakugan."
"Why would we allow you to have our Six Attribute Energies to power such a device?"
"Well, I must confess: I knew you wouldn't give them up without a fight." Zenoheld then pulled out a black and red Gauntlet with a gold front on his left arm. "Luckily for me, I've been been one to shine away from battle, no matter who my opponents may be. Luckily for you, I'm also a reasonable man and because of that, I'm offering you this one last chance to surrender your Attribute Energies to me."
"Do you truly believe you are strong enough to take on the six of us by yourself?" Apollonir questioned as Zenoheld smirked.
"I have no doubt." He then put in an ability card. "Gauntlet, powerstrike! You may think as Ancients, you have the advantage over me. But I'll show you who's wrong and that nothing can match the strength, stealth and speed of Vestal Technology!" Placing a Gate card in his Gauntlet, Zenoheld then shot it at the ground. "Gate card, set! I unleash Farbros, Bakugan brawl!" Like with his Gate Card, Zenoheld shot a red Bakugan onto the field. "Bakugan, stand!" The Bakugan opened up before a large red dragon-like machine with short arms, a green visor, cannons on each knee, a long mechanical tail and a large orange claw on each shoulder appear with a roar.
"Bakugan stand, complete. Farbros has been deployed sir." A technician said to Clay, who smirked slightly.
"After studying all the data collected from each of the Bakugan we've researched in New Vestroia, we have finally created the ultimate weapon. The mechanical Farbros. It is a name that will be known and feared throughout the realms."
"I'll remind everyone that if we not only lose our Attribute Energies, we will bring the extinction of the Bakugan race."
"Then losing isn't an option." All six warriors began to glow their respective colors before their armors fell to the sky, revealing six Bakugan within. The six flew into the sky before opening up. Frosch changed into a large blue frog with orange curled eyebrows and green eyes which Exedra changed into a purple Hydra-like creature with a closed eye on his chest. Oberus changed into a large green and pale bird-like creature with red eyes while Clayf turned into a large stone warrior wielding a equally large axe and Lars Lion changed into a pink spartan-like warrior. Finally, Apollonir turned into a large red and orange dragon with six wings and teal eyes.
Six Ancient Warriors: PL 3000
Farbros: 800
"King Zenoheld, Farbros' battle balance program isn't finished yet, so it's only functioning at 90%. I think you should be aware of this." Caly told Zenoheld through the speakers.
"I'm not concerned. The only true measure of Farbros' power is through battle." Zenoheld then put in a yellow mechanical ability card in his Gauntlet. "Alright you ancient fools, ability activate! Twin Horn Pulsar!" The claws on Farbros' arms suddenly shifted forward before firing six red beams at the warriors.
Farbros: 800-1200
Six Ancient Warriors: 3000-2600
"Atomic Blade!" The lasers were absorbed into Clayf's axe, preventing any damage from being done.
Six Ancient Warriors: 2600-3000
"Now it's my turn. Aquos Cyclone!" Frosch opened his mouth before launching a spiral of water.
Six Ancient Warriors: 3000-3200
Farbros: 1200-1100
"Tch, you think you're so clever? Double ability, activate!" Zenoheld quickly placed two cards in his Gauntlet. "Fire Spartan plus Super Cell!" Farbros' knee cannons suddenly shot their own spiral of fire, effortlessly stopping Frosch's attack. Opening its palms, Farbros shot its own stream of water(which is weird considering he's a Pyrus Bakugan.)
Farbros: 1100-1900
Six Ancient Warriors: 3200-2400
"Valkyrie Barrier!" Raising her hands in the air like she doesn't care, Lars Lion summoned a glowing barrier that blocked Farbros' water.
"Nice one Lars, just in time."
Farbros: 1900-1500
"Nebulous Hammer!" Exedra's eyes began to glow as dark clouds appeared above Farbros. It wasn't long before a large hammer(of all things) crashed several feet away from Farbros, sending a large gust of wind.
"You'll pay for this!"
Farbros: 1500-1100
"You were foolish to think a mechanical beast was a match against a living creature with a heart and soul. Your arrogance will be your downfall!" Tp Apollonir's surprise, Zenoheld smirked.
"Gate card open, Land Pressure!" The Gate card suddenly began to glow as the six Bakugan began to lose their balance.
"He blindsided us with that move!"
"I…..can't move!" Oberus said, feeling her energy being drained.
Six Ancient Warriors: 2400-1200
"Hang on, let me try something. Aquos-"
"Too late, ability activate! Garland Claw!" Aiming its large claws at the warriors, Farbros launched them forward, grabbing both Oberus and Frosch. Not wasting any time, it then shot large amounts of electricity, making them scream in pain.
Farbros: 1100-1400
Farbros then released the two Bakugan, allowing them to fall on the ground. "This is easier than I thought. Perhaps I'll start my collection with the Ventus and Aquos attributes."
"Not so fast." Looking up, Zenoheld's eyes widened as he saw both Apollonir and Lars Lion flying in the air without feeling any pain. "Maximum Pyrus!" Opening his mouth, Apollonir unleashed a large torrent of flames onto Farbros.
"Sagittarius Arrow!" Summoning a light-made bow and arrow, Lars Lion shot it at the distance before it exploded into a million sparkles. Seconds later, both Frosch and Oberus were back on their feet.
Six Ancient Warriors: 1200-2600
"What's happening" My Gate card should've paralyzed you!"
"Ha, Frosch was just a bit faster than you." The Aquos frog laughed as he recalled his fast move.
"Let me try something. Aquos-"
"To late, ability activate!"
"Ripple!" Just before the attack hit, Frosch's back shined for a quick second, deactivating the Gate card.
"I see, you were able to revive any fallen Bakugan my friends. Perhaps you deserve more credit than I gave you. But I'm not going to let you win." Zenoheld then looked over his shoulder to stare at the Rover. "I think that's enough for the system's check Professor."
"As you wish sir."
"The ASSAIL System is ready sir." One of the technicians told Clay. "Just give us the word."
"I trust you overheard that good news sir?" Clay asked rhetorically with a small smirk.
"Farbros, ASSAIL Formation!" From above the sky, a large black, orange and red ship flew towards the field while a large black and red tank flew out of the Rover and into the sky. Farbros' eyes began to glow as it analyzed the new weapons.
"Locking on dock sensor, Farbros take off!" The mechanical Bakugan flew into the air before doing something the Warriors didn't expect. The tank split into two parts while the ship opened the front compartment which resembled two arms. Folding both its legs and gliders, Farbros connected its large claws to its arms before combining its legs onto the tank pieces, forming even larger legs. The ship then connected to Farbros' back while several large cannon barrels popped out the top. Inside the new machine was none other than Zenoheld, who was sitting on his own throne like a true king.
"ASSAIL Farbros, is complete."
ASSAIL Farbros: 1400-5600
"They've combined?!" Apollonir said in shock.
"His power level has far exceeded ours!" Oberus added.
"No, we can't let this happen." Lar Lion said before raising her arms up. "Valkyrie Barrier!" Like before, a yellow barrier appeared around the Warriors just as Farbros landed on the ground.
"Blast Storm!" Whipping her wings, Oberus launched a large tornado.
"Aquos Cyclone!" Opening his mouth, Frosch launched his own spiral of water.
"Great Axe!" Calyf threw his large axe at Farbros. All three attacks hit their marks, yet Farbros didn't seem to be affected.
Six Ancient Warriors: 2600-3400
ASSAIL Farbros: 5600-4700
"Tch, how pathetic. It that the extent of the Ancient Warrior Superpowers?" Growling in anger, Apollonir flew high into the sky.
"Everyone! We must combine our strength!" Nodding in agreement, Exedra, Lars Lion, Oberus, Clayf and Frosch all gave their Attribute Energies to Apollonir, who roared as the gem on his chest began to glow a rainbowish color. "Infinity Wyvern! You wanted our energy? Here it is!" With that, Apollonir launched a powerful beam of rainbow energy at Farbros, pushing the large machine back.
"Warning, warning! Damage output over 70% and rising!"
Six Ancient Warriors: 5200
ASSAIL Farbros: 4700
"You think that'll stop me?!" Touching the green holoscreen in front of him, Zenoheld summoned an ability card before placing it at the center of the screen. "Ability, activate! FARBAS XM!"
"Recovery system, activated!" Farbros' injuries slowly, but surely began to heal as his power level ross.
ASSAIL Farbros: 4700-5600
"Graviton Wizard/Maximum Revolution!" Opening the eye on his chest, Exedra summoned an aura around Farbros while Apollonir began to glow, hoping it would give them an advantage.
Six Ancient Warriors: 5200-6400
ASSAIL Farbros: 5600-5200
"Ability, activate! Shadow Blast!" Charging up the cannons on its back, Farbros unleashed several beams of red energy onto the Six Ancient Warriors. Each screamed in pain as the beams struck their bodies.
Six Ancient Warriors: 6400-4000
"Farewell relics. Ability activate! Shiny Oricalcum!" Roaring in the sky, ASSAIL Farbros launched a powerful wave of red energy onto the Six Warriors.
"This…...might be the end."
"But if he defeats us….."
"Our six attribute energies will be taken and the Bakugan destroyed."
"No…..we mustn't give up, not yet!" Suddenly, all Six Ancient Warriors began to glow before teleporting away.
"WHAT?! THEY DISAPPEARED!" Zenoheld clenched his fist before slamming it against his throne in anger. His plans…...they were tarnished.
'Back on Earth'
"So Natsu, how've you been?" Mira asked her boyfriend curiously. She knew judging by the way he reacted to both Earth and Vestal technology that it must've taken him some time to get used to it all.
"It's been so awesome being here. Sona was able to get me a room here so I wouldn't really both Kallen or her mom." Natsu said with a big grin.
"Trust me, it was a blessing in disguise. I mean, you wouldn't believe how much food my mom had to cook just for Natsu. Not to mention some of the stuff he broke." Kallen said, sighing as she recalled how much her mom had to spend to cook them dinner…..when he said with them for a week, a SINGLE week.
"Yeah, sorry about that hehe." He scratched his head before a thought came up. "So Mira, how's Ace and Baron been?"
"Well you know how Ace is, mostly keeping to himself. And Baron's currently back home, taking care of his little brothers and sisters."
"So he has siblings. How many?" Mira put a hand under her chin while trying to come up with an answer.
"If I remember, he has…..about four brothers and four sisters."
"What?! He has that many siblings?!" Julie shouted in shock.
"Meh, that's not a lot compared to Tsubaki, am I right?"
"I suppose not." Tsubaki admitted with a nervous smile, remembering her VERY large family.
"Leo, it's good to see you again." Wilda said in a friendly tone.
"Yes, it's good to see you as well Wilda." Leonidas admitted with a 'smile.'
"So, how's Earth treating you?"
"It's a rather interesting world, but me and partner have gotten used to it. Believe me, Natsu's gotten even stronger than before."
"Oh yeah, how's the training been going man?" Dan asked as Natsu smirked.
"Well…...I can do this." Opening his right palm, Natsu focused his magic into it before a small crackle of lightning appeared, much to Mira's shock.
"Natsu….you can use lightning?"
"Not really. I mean I can use a little bit, but I need some more training if I'm ever gonna use it to fight."
"I hope it doesn't involve your last attempt to get more power." Sona said with a deadpan look, making Natsu grin sheepishly.
"What does she mean?"
"Ummmm, well a few months back….."
Flashback, 3 months ago
"Natsu, this is insane!" Sona shouted as she, Kallen, Tsubaki and their Bakugan were currently on the roof of her house….during a small storm.
"Are you sure this'll even work?!" Kallen shouted while using her umbrella to keep rain off her body.
"I've seen Laxus do it, so I might as well try." Natsu said bravely while standing near the edge of the roof, holding to eat some lightning to get an energy boost. It'll work…..maybe.
"But what if it kills you?!" Tsubaki shouted with clear concern in her voice.
"Relax, I've taken on worse-"
*BOOM*
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Unfortunately, Natsu was cut off when lightning shot out of the clouds and struck, shocking him in a cartoonish nature before he fell on his back. They swore they saw a ghost escape his mouth.
Flashback end…
"On the bright side, I got enough lightning to use this." Mira gave the same blank face Sona did. While she did love him for his childlike attitude, this sounded like it could've killed him.
"Huh?" Leonidas' eyes suddenly began to glow as he looked at the ceiling. Suddenly, his whole body began to glow. It wasn't just him: Gurin, Tyna, Wilda and Ingram were also glowing their respective colors.
"What the hell is going on?" Gurin said.
"I…..feel like I'm burning up." Wilda added.
"Do any of you feel this as well?" Ingram questioned, seeing Drago, Gorum and Tigrerra looking pretty normal.
"No, we don't feel a thing." Drago said, worried about his friends.
"This is so weird…." Gurnin commented. He was a Pyrus Bakugan, yet he felt like he was overheating.
"Leo, what's going on?" Natsu stood up and was about to check on his friend.
*Thump thump*
However, before he could move, his whole world went blank before he fell face forward. "Natsu?!"
*Thump, thump*
It didn't stop there as Mira, Kallen, Tsubaki and Sona all fainted at the same time as well. "Guys? Guys! GUYS!"
'Unknown location'
"Huh?" Natsu opened his eyes, only to find himself in a familiar foggy location. "Hang on, I know this place….."
"Mind filling us in?" A female voice called out to his left, making him turn to see Kallen, Tsubaki, Mira and Sona all standing next to him.
"Natsu, guys?!" Another pair of voices called out to the right, revealing them to be Alice, Ace and Baron.
"EVERYONE!" In front of each brawler stood their Bakugan, who were released from their ball forms. Suddenly, six glowing balls appeared not too far from the group before it was revealed to be the Six Ancient Warrior Bakugan.
"The Six Ancient Warriors?!" Leonidas said in shock.
"Leonidas, you and your friends must listen carefully." Apollonir said in a deadly serious tone.
"Hey, is everything alright? You guys don't sound okay." Everyone noticed how each warrior lowered their head slightly.
"We were….defeated in battle by King Zenoheld." The brawlers and their Bakugan gasped in horror. The Six Ancient Warrior Bakugan, who have the power to protect new Vestroia….were beaten?
"You fought King Zenoheld?!" Mira asked in astonishment.
"What he desired from us was to take our Six Attribute Energies." Frosch started.
"He needed them to power the Bakugan Termination System. A device he created to destroy all Bakugan." Oberus added, much to their shock.
"A weapon, to destroy the Bakugan?" Tsubaki asked with some fear in her voice.
"But a weapon like that should be impossible!" Ingram countered.
"Unfortunately, it's all true." Lars Lion said, stopping any more protests. "In order to keep them from Zenoheld's clutches, we are entrusting you with our six Attribute Energies." Before anyone could say anything, the six warriors transformed into different colored energy blobs before they flew in the air…..and entered the Bakugan present. However, the Pyrus and Darkus energies were split to Leonidas, Gurin, Vladitor and Percival respectively. Seconds later, the brawlers' Bakugan began to glow.
"What's happening to us?" Tyna asked, a surge of power coursing through her veins.
"This feels…..incredible." Valditor added. Leonidas roared before they all shined so bright, their brawlers were forced to shield their eyes.
"LEO!" The lights soon died out as the brawlers lowered their arms, only to widen their eyes in shock at the new look for their partners. Wilda now possessed a more metallic and bigger armor with a metal mouthguard and two large cannons on each shoulder. Nemus' armor was now round and his bladed wings have an extra layer in the middle, as well as a spinning wheel on each leg. Ingram now looked to be a cross between an eagle and ninja with a yellow mask covering her lower face, a black overcoat, gold-trimmed black shin guards on his legs and gauntlets on each arm. Tyna now had a royal silk-like dress with a seaweed-like cape and a trident in her right hand. Gurin now had four arms, each with a black gauntlet and white talons, his head nearly resembled the look of a dragon(basically, it resembles Issei's Juggernaut Drive from Highschool DXD) and his back contained a strange small box. Vladitor now clad in purple armor and cape with gleaming red eyes, his red horns and much longer, a ring of purple energy was seen on his chest and he wields a large Battle Axe.
"RRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!" However, Leonidas' appearance caught the attention on Natsu the most. He now had three large horns, one much larger going forward while two smaller ones were aiming left and right, red armor on his large wings, spikes running down his back and tail, large claws with three-fingered hands and two-toed feet, as well as a large gauntlet-like shell on each arm. To say everyone was shocked would be an understatement.
"Woah…..what happened?" Baron asked in awe.
"They evolved." Alice answered, though it didn't stop her from looking at Vladitor in shock.
"I heard of Bakugan evolving, but this is just…..awesome." Kallen muttered under her breath.
"Remember brawlers, you and your Bakugan are our last hope against Zenoheld." Exedra said. However, instead of showing any fear, Natsu grinned before punching his opened palm.
"No problem. We'll show those bastards who's boss, right Leo?"
"Right partner." The warriors smiled at the determination the duo had.
"I'm glad you feel that way Natsu, because we have some news." The dragon slayer raised a curious brow. "Fairy Sphere is over…..it's time to return you to Earthland."
'Zenoheld palace, sometime later'
"I must admit Clay, the field test proved to be very successful…...if only we had taken the Attribute Energies!" Zenoheld shouted before slamming his fist on his throne. After failing to retrieve the Attribute Energies, the former king and his crew were forced to return to their palace empty handed to to say the latter was upset would kinda be an understatement.
"I'm sorry my king, but since Farbros wasn't running at 100% percent, we couldn't finish the battle any quicker." Clay tried to reason, hoping it would calm down his king.
"Ha! Maybe you should've sent me to beat those old fossils." Shadow Prov said with a mad laugh as he and the remaining Vexos were currently in the throne room.
"Quiet you fool." Mylene scolded with a sigh before looking at her king. "My liege, what should we do now that the Attribute Energies had escaped?"
"Clay, have you tracked where the Energies could be?" The chief scientist nodded before he ordered a screen to come up, revealing the Pyrus, Aquos, Ventus and Subterra energies on Earth while the Haos and Darkus energies were on Vestal.
"Great, it looks like the warriors passed down their energies to the Bakugan Brawlers." Volt said with a slight groan, though he would be lying if he said he didn't want to battle.
"The sooner we get the job done, the sooner we can use the BT System. Easy as pie." Lync said with a simple shrug.
"I would hope it would be Lync." A voice called out from the doors. It was former prince Hydron, who now wore a white shirt over a black one, black pants, a brown trench coat with a fur collar, fingerless black gloves and a small necklace. The former prince smiled arrogantly while twirling his index finger while walking next to his father. "With my new Bakugan, the Brawlers won't know what hit them."
"Very well, I shall send you Hydron, to retrieve the Haos and Darkus energies from Vestal while the rest of you go to Earth." Zenoheld leaned against his chair with a smirk. "And once we get the energies, we'll show those old relics what happens when you cross me."
"What an interesting plan." A voice called out, making their eyes widen. "Though I doubt such a mission can be finished easily."
"Clay, explain!"
"I don't know, someone's hacked out communication systems!"
*VROOM*
Before anyone could react, a large ship suddenly appeared in front of the palace. It resembled a large shark-like monster with a large tower near the end, along with several large rows of cannons on the top and sides(it looks like the Malevolence from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.) Overall, the ship had a menacing aura around it. The center of the room suddenly began to flick before six figures appeared via teleportation.
The first was a female with light pink eyes and has some tomboyish features. She has short, slicked blue hair with a slight fringe over her right eye. She has peach white skin and over her right eye is an electric bolt shaped scar. Her attire consists of a gothic black dress with short sleeves, which are slit and run slightly past her elbows, and an upturned collar. Her dress is also partially unzipped at the front. Her dress exposes her waist and part of her thighs on both sides of her body. A red sash is worn loosely around her hips. She wears blue tabi socks and low-heel sandals. Roxie completes her outfit with a white, segmented choker and a series of green bracelets on her arms.
The second was a male with pale skin with golden-yellow eyes. His hair is a steel-blue color and is in a styled, yet slightly messy look. He wears a fancy uniform with a dark slate grey jacket, silver highlights, and two rows of gold buttons on the front. He wears a black belt and white gloves adorned with a silver, curled snake-like symbol. He also wears black, knee-high boots and a tattered, red scarf. Finally, he wears an eyepatch to cover his right eye.
The third figure was a handsome young man with dark silver hair and hazel eyes. He wears a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. He also wears burgundy jeans with a silver chain drooping down over them and black leather chaps with three bands encircling his right calf, and black shoes with black buckles
The fourth was another female with slightly tan skin, light brown eyes and marron red hair that reach her spine, though it was made in a braid. Her attire consisted of a green vest that hugged her impressive D-cup breasts, black sleeves with a large ringlet on her wrist, brown jeans, black heels, and was holding a small blue book in her right hand.
The fifth figure was another male with dark brown that reached his neck, tan skin and yellow eyes. His attire consisted of a orange coat over a light brown shirt, white pants, a chain coming out his right pocket, teal boots and black leather gloves with spikes on each hand.
The final figure was a male with pale skin, blood-red eyes and spiky dark purple hair. He wore a pitch black trench coat with a red outline, leather gloves, a white shirt under a black vest with golden buttons, gunsmoke grey pants, black military boots and a brown belt with several small black holsters on them. The male simply smirked at their shocked expressions. "King Zenoheld, I'd like to negotiate with you."
Wow, I can't believe I was able to get this out after a short time, but to be honest, I wanted to get this out to you guys and I hope you guys like this chapter. I wanted to set some things up for the next arc, as well as introduce the next villains, who just appeared right now. Hopefully the reunion of Natsu and Mira was okay, I will have more romantic scenes in the future that will include the other girls. Also, I would like to thank Antex-The Legendary Zoroark for helping me make the first two OC villains, as well as the evolved form for Gurin and Tyna.
So I'm sorry you had to witness the Ancient Warriors being defeated, but I wanted to set everything up, as well as have the big news for Natsu. Hopefully the next chapters will be filled with emotions as we will get the Fairy Tail reunion we've been waiting for after next chapter.
