Why hell everyone? I am your host, The 3rd Dragneel, coming to ya with another amazing chapter of Bakugan The Dragon Slayer Saga. I'm am SO glad you guys liked the Brawl from last chapter, especially with the plot twist involving Cybertros' true identity. Trust me, I'll give the Vexos and the rest of the Spectres more screen time so we can see how they fight(I know a few of you want to see Vali in action lol.) But anyways, I'm gonna be honest, it is gonna be tough for me to move on from here since I got so many things planned during and after the GMG, but hopefully I get a sense of what will happen and who will be paired with who. If you got the time, please check out my stories Legend of the Digi Fairy, Rise of Darth Vindicus and Natsu and his Demonic Harem, just saying lol.
Neo Infinity: Thanks man, sorry for the wait.
Dragneel Vanquisher: Hahaha, yeah I know right?
25NaMi: Thanks!
Antex-The Legendary Zoroark: Wow, I'm glad I didn't screw it up badly.
Docron: I hope it's up there with the lightning flame dragon mode and the beatdown or Spectra.
Omni warrior: Hell yeah, I had to have an awesome voice like him to do Cybertros.
Guest-Questioner: Well…..there IS one more character I'm gonna add after the GMG arc, and HE'LL be a surprise;)
Ak-Jaidyn: eehhh…..I don't know man, sorry.
Kuro yaksha: Thank you.
Blizzazord: I know right? Lucky guy. And yeah, I'm glad you were shocked with Cybertros speaking.
Now to recap: Natsu and the others were enjoying another 'normal' day in Fairy Tail, not knowing of a certain visitor coming to challenge their strongest Brawler. In order to get Natsu's attention, Damus reluctantly took Sona hostage while beating Jet and Droy, forcing Levy to tell her friends. Angered by this, Natsu, the Brawlers and a few others went to confront him and much to their shock, he allowed Sona to go back so Natsu could fight him at full power. The Brawl was tough, with both sides not holding back. It not only impressed Damus, but also his half mechanical Bakugan Cybertros, who acknowledge Leonidas' strength. Just as Natsu was about to defeat him with Dragon Bond, Damus used Self Destruct, forcing the battle to come to a halt. How will our heroes handle this new threat? Time to find out, along with the brand new opening!
What are ya gonna do?
Natsu throws in Leonidas with a smile as the red dragon appeared on the field in a torrent of flames.
The odds are stacked against you.
Both he and Damus activate their Gauntlets before throwing in their Bakugan.
Back against the wall,
Cybertros backflips to dodge several purple energy beams.
You gotta give it your a-a-a-a-a-all,
Tsubaki, Mira, Kallen, Vali, Volt, Lync and Alister throw in their Bakugan. A large shadows crashes on the field. Ventus Altair flies in the sky while Vladitor slashes his axe.
This is the final stand, a-a, a-a, a-ah
Maxus Leonidas and Helios crash into each other. The Vexos appear from the left while the Spectres appear from the right, then Spectra and Gus appear in the middle.
The powers in you hand!
Shadow Prov and Roxie grin before throwing their partners.
Two worlds collide,
Six swords fall from the heavens, each representing an Attribute.
On the inside
Six warriors appeared in front of everyone, extending a hand. Albion flews high in the air while spreading his wings, Wilda crashes through a wall, a massive mechanical Bakugan roars in the sky, the Spectres ship fires on Crocus and a portal pulls Natsu and Damus inside.
You gotta fight for what's right,
Natsu and Leonidas scream as Dragon Bond is formed.
Before it's gone, gone, gone!
Leonidas fires a Lightning Flame Dragon Roar while Cybertros uses Rygon cannon. Both attacks collide, causing a massive explosion.
This is Bakugan!
'The Calamity, two hours later'
*Crackle*
The sound of fire hitting metal echoed through the repair center of the Calamity. Several engineers began replacing the damaged armor of Cybertros, said Bakugan simply stood there, not even flinching from his skin being pulled. Damus stood on the scaffolding, which helped engineers reach the upper levels of Cybertros' body. "Tell me, what's the damage report?" Damus asked the lead engineer, not even looking at him.
"According to the readings, his armor had been damaged by 65%." The lead engineer said before looking at Damus. "But if you don't mind me asking, how powerful was the opponent you fought? No ordinary Bakugan could damage Titanus 10 to this degree." Damus put his hands behind his back before smirking.
"Someone…...unique." The engineer was confused, but judging by the smirk on his face, Damus enjoyed fighting this person. "Tell me Cybertros, how did it feel to fight a powerful opponent?" The silver Bakugan raised his head, his glowing red eye stared down at his Brawler.
"It was an…..interesting feeling to have after all this time." Cybertros started. "Despite my outer appearance and weaponry, I still possess the heart of a true Bakugan, and I crave the thirst of battle." If one could look in Damus' eyes, they could see a hint of sadness flash in them before disappearing. "Tell me, how long will it take for me to return to the battlefield?"
"Well, because we have some spare parts in storage, plus the fact we have to remove your current armor, I'd say at least two days." Under the faceplate, Cybertros grumbled quietly to himself, but nodded regardless. Damus' Gauntlet began to beep red, indicating that someone was attempting to call him.
"Yes?"
"His Assness is calling us again." Roxas said through the Gauntlet, and it was clear that she was annoyed. He couldn't blame her: the rest of the Spectres were rather annoyed at the behavior of the Vexos, but they would have to endure it for now. Sighing to himself, Damus pressed on his Gauntlet to speak.
"Thank you, I'll be there shortly." Cutting the connection, Damus glanced at the Engineer. "Call me when Cybertros is fully repaired."
"You got it." Damus gave Cybertros one last look before walking away to deal with his 'allies.'
'Fairy Tail guildhall'
It was one of the few moments the Fairy Tail guildhall was quiet. No one dared say a word as they sat in silence, taking in all the information given to them from the battle between Natsu and Damus. To think, what sounded like a simple game could turn out to be an all-out brawl between two huge monsters. Not to mention how much damage they caused in the forest(good thing no property was destroyed, am I right?) All they could do was stay silent as the Brawlers were in Makarov's office, wanting some privacy to talk amongst themselves. "So….what are gonna do now guys?" Baron asked his friends worriedly.
"From what we saw, that Cybertros wasn't a Vexos made Bakugan." Mira said.
"That's true, I mean did you see how fast that thing was?" Kallen said, remembering how fluidly Cybertros moved compared to Altair, Hades and even Helios. It was unlike any Bakugan they had fought. "And what about the Spectres he talked about?"
"It seems like there are more Brawlers from other planets than we thought." Tsubaki said with a concerned expression.
"And considering how powerful Cybertros was, we can't let down our guard." Sona said while fixing her glasses. As for Natsu, he was sitting down on a chair, his eyes closed with his arms crossed.
"All of you made too fast of an assumption."
"DON'T speak like you understand our experience."
"We will see each other soon Dragneel, that is a promise."
An annoyed expression appeared on Natsu's face as he kept thinking about his fight with Damus, how the guy was so cocky and had the power to back it up. He was….like Spectra, except possibly even worse. "Natsu?" A hand was placed on his shoulder, making him jump slightly as he saw Alice looking at him with pure concern. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, sorry." Natsu said while scratching his head. "I was just thinking about that guy, Mamus or whatever."
"And I thought you couldn't be dumber." Ace said while rolling his eyes. "He calls himself Damus, and we can't underestimate him, especially since he and his group are working with the Vexos."
"Guys, focus." Mira pinched the bridge of her nose. "If these Spectres came to this world and they're working with the Vexos, it'll be a matter of time before they come back." It was true: the Vexos were not afraid of conquering a planet, as evident from their invasion of Vestroia.
"So, what should we do?" Wilda asked out loud.
"I wouldn't worry about it guys." Everyone turned towards Natsu, who stood up with a grin. "Anyone who tries to take this world, especially the Vexos, are gonna have to fight Fiore's #1 guild. Plus we beat them last time, so we'll do it again."
"But Partner, that was before we learned of their allegiance." Leonidas added, worried about Fairy Tail's safety.
"Don't worry pal, Fairy Tail's handled worse." Natsu clenched his fist with a nostalgic smile, thinking about Fairy Tail's fights with Phantom Lord, Oracion Seis and even Hades and his Seven Kin of Purgatory. The only fight they couldn't win was against HIM, and that was because they still hadn't unlocked their full potential. Next time I see that bastard, I'll take him down. "Trust me, with all of us here, we'll take down the Vexos, Damus, even Spectra." The look of pure determination in Natsu's eyes was enough to wash away everyone's worries, if only a little. "Oh, and you guys don't need to keep listening in."
"What?" Nemus asked before the sound of tripping was heard from the door, getting everyone but Natsu to sweatdrop. So much for privacy, am I right?
"Were they-"
"Spying on us? Yeah they were, but they forgot…." Natsu pointed at his nose. "I can pick up their scent, plus they weren't that quiet." As much as Natsu loved Fairy Tail, they were still prone to listening in on private conversations, something that somewhat annoyed him. "Come on, we might as well go out there." Nodding in response, the Battle Brawlers walked out of the office, where they could see some of the members of Fairy Tail, more specifically Team Natsu, looking away sheepishly. "How much did you hear?"
"Ummmm…...maybe all of it?" Lucy said while scratching her cheek.
"Please forgive our intrution." Erza said before bowing her head. "If you wish, you may strike me."
"She…...she's not serious, is she?" Gurin asked, hoping it was just some lame joke.
"Nope, once Erza made up her mind, she'll stick with it." Mirajane said with an innocent giggle, making the Brawlers and Bakugan sweatdrop again. They could see why Natsu said there was never a dull moment in Fairy Tail.
"So, you mentioned how these guys were different from the Vexos. Mind telling us how?" Gray asked with his arms crossed. The Brawlers looked at each other before nodding, with Mira taking out her holopad, showing a video of their brawls in Vestroia.
"There are six members of the Vexos, each representing one Attribute." She first showed an image of Volt. "First is Volt Luster, Haos Brawler. He's a prideful and strong Brawler." Changing the screen, she showed an image of Mylene. "This is Mylene Farrow, the Aquos Brawler and the only female amongst them. She is fierce and will do anything to win."
"A looker that can kill: not bad." Cana muttered while drinking from her mug.
"Next is Lync Volan. He may look small, but he's very deceitful." She switched images to Shadow Prov, who was laughing like a maniac.
"Mommy, who's the crazy man?" Asuka asked innocently, getting a few snickers from Natsu, Kallen, hell even Ace smirked a bit.
"This is Shadow Prov, the Darkus Brawler. He is very hard to predict and can be ruthless in the battlefield." Typing on the pad, she changed the image to a smirking Gus. "This is Gus Grav, Subterra Brawler and a tricky weasel." Reluctantly, Mira changed the image and showed the image of a certain Pyrus Brawler. "And finally, Spectra Phantom, the leader of the Vexos…...and my brother."
"EH?!" Okay, that was something no one expected, especially from Mira.
"He's your brother?!" Happy shouted in shock.
"That's right. He, along with my father, worked with the Vexos to conquer Vestroia. They used to use normal Bakugan…...but King Zenoheld thought Bakugan were a waste of time, so my father created Mechanical Bakugan. Hydranoid was used as a test subject."
"Yes?it was/beyond horrible." Hydranoid said with a deep snarl. Okay, now Fairy Tail could see why they hated the Vexos so much.
"However, a few months ago…..Prince Hydron, the one who created the Vexos, betrayed Spectra and Gus, trying to take both them and Natsu out in an explosion."
"They'd even get rid of their own people? That's low." Lisanna said with a pout.
"Yeah, that's not manly!" Elfman shouted.
"Do you know where these Vexos are?" Makarov asked calmly.
"Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find them." Sona said with her arms crossed. "They're able to travel through space."
"And it's only a matter of time before they come here." Baron added.
"But who cares? We're the #1 guild, so we can take anyone on!" Natsu put his foot on a chair with his fist clenched.
"Ummmm….yeah about that…." Max said while scratching the back of his head. Much to Natsu's confusion, the rest of the guild looked away.
"Guys, what's up?"
"We….aren't the #1 guild…..anymore." Wakaba said regrettable.
"HUH?!" Natsu gasped as he suddenly lost his balance, falling face first on the floor. "What do you mean we aren't #1?!"
"Natsu, you've been gone for seven years." Macao started, his eyes holding sadness as those who weren't on Tenrou looked down in regret. "It was a hard time for us, and because we lost Master and the others, most of the guild left. We couldn't hold our number 1 position, and if you hadn't noticed, we couldn't even keep the old guildhall." A pang of guilt entered Natsu's heart. He had completely forgotten how they were forced to change, and how there weren't as many members. There had to be a way to help them get back on top. Romeo looked at his idol before an idea came up. "Hey! With Natsu and the others back, why don't we compete in the Games this time?!"
"Games?"
"Romeo, I told you already that we aren't entering the games again!" Macao shouted at his son.
"You aren't the Master anymore dad!"
"Well neither are you, you little rugrat! We're never gonna get involved with that thing again, ya hear?!"
"There's no way we're gonna lose with them at our side!"
"Haven't you seen how Gray, Gajeel and Erza were beaten by Natsu? And he's been training for months in another world." Warren said before a look of fear struck is heart, seeing how all three glared at him. "Ummm, n-no offense."
"Okay…..so what the hell are you guys even talking about doing….or not doing."
"Well while you've been in another world and the others have been on Tenrou, a tournament was made to determine Fiore's #1 guild."
"A tournament?" Wendy asked with a tilt of her head.
"Hmmm, it reminds me of the tournament in Alpha City." Ingram said.
"Ahh yeah, that was fun." Gurin said with a sigh.
"But not for all of us." Percival said with a sweatdrop, remembering how he and Ace lost in the first match against some kid. Even if it WAS for the mission, it was still embarrassing as hell.
"Sounds like a lot of fun to me." Natsu punched his fists together. "Why don't we enter it?"
"Guilds from all over the country face off against each other in magical events. It's called…." Romeo pointed his finger up. "THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES!"
"That sounds amazing." Alice said with a bright smile.
"Well, while we're here, we could watch it." Mira said, though inwardly, she was also excited to see more magic.
"So it's like some kind of festival? How interesting." Nemus said with a nod.
"Sabertooth is known as the #1 guild in Fiore because they had won the last tournament. Well, we'll have to change that." Erza said with a slight smirk.
"But if we can beat them, then we'll be #1 again!"
"That would be nice." Makarov started while rubbing his chin. "But I'm not convinced given our current state of disarray, even with Natsu training for as long as he did."
"Yeah, but if we win, the guild will get 30 million jewel in prize money."
"30 million?!" Kallen exclaimed in pure shock. With that kind of cash, they could by a whole mansion, servants AND a massive pool for like….forever! Even Sona was shocked at the amount, despite coming from a rather wealthy family. Hearing this, Makarov closed his eyes before opening them faster than the speed of light.
"Then we're entering!"
"Are you serious?!"
"But Master, it's gonna be hard." Droy said.
"There's tons of powerful guilds that compete each year." Warren added.
"And don't forget we've come in dead freaking last every time we've entered." Jet said bitterly with his arms crossed.
"What's wrong with you guys?!" Everyone turned to Natsu, who had his arms crossed with a stern face. "I remember when Fairy Tail was strong and proud, not whiny and scared."
"But you don't get it!"
"No, you don't get it. Even when we fought Phantom, we wanted to quit, but we didn't. No one's unbeatable, and we'll show everyone in Fiore we still got. Know why?"
"Cause we're Fairy Tail?"
"What?"
"Cause we're Fairy Tail." The members who weren't on Tenrou spoke a bit louder.
"What?!"
"Cause we're Fairy Tail."
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"Cause we're Fairy Tail!" Now everyone else aside from the Brawlers joined in.
"And what are we gonna do?!"
"WIN!"
"OH YEAH!" Out of pure excitement, Natsu launched a stream of fire upwards…...blowing a hole on the roof.
"NATSU!" Thinking fast, Juvia used some of her water magic and doused the flames. Everyone sighed before glaring at Natsu, who rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Hehe, sorry. I guess now we REALLY do need to win, huh? So when does this thing go down?" Romeo smiled, loving the fire of hope Natsu spread in their hearts before answering.
"It starts up in four months." Grinning, Natsu ignited his fist.
"That's plenty of time to train and kick some ass. Then...we'll beat Sabertooth and be the #1 guild again!" One by one, each person in the guild smiled at the determined words of Natsu Dragneel, one of the many reasons they were glad he was with them.
"Now the final decision has been made, there's no need for all this moaning and groaning. So let's get to work. Let's win that 30 million jewel and the title of Fiore's #1 guild. Fairy Tail is entering the Grand Magic Games and aiming for the top!"
"YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
'The Calamity, sometime later'
Damus, along with the Spectres, were currently waiting in the teleportation chamber, the same one they used to infiltrate Zenoheld's palace. However, instead of teleporting themselves, they were waiting for their 'allies' the Vexos to show up, but due to the distance between there and Earthland, it would be a while. "Seriously when the hell are they getting here?" Grant complained with an annoyed expression. He could be training right now, but instead he was forced to wait….and wait…..and wait.
"For once, I agree with Grant, this shouldn't be taking so long." Alister said with a slightly annoyed, but calm tone.
"Be patient. It is likely due to how inferior their technology is compared to ours." Talia said, turning the page of her book.
"How much longer will we have to wait?" Vali asked one of the engineers, who was looking at the terminal near the pad.
"According to this, they should be here just…...about….now!" Just like he said, four figures could be seen materializing on the telepad.
"Geez, why'd it take so long?!" Judging by the whineness of the voice, it was obvious it was Shadow Prov, who arrived onboard the Calamity with Mylene, Lync and Volt. "I mean come on! We could've been here in seconds, but it felt like months!"
"Who knows, maybe their tech isn't as good as we thought." Lync thought out loud.
"You know they could hear us, right?" Volt said, pointing out how their allies were waiting for them. Mylene was the first to walk off the telepad and stand in front of Damus with narrowed eyes.
"You failed to beat any of the Bakugan Brawlers, haven't you?" Mylene said rhetorically, though surprisingly Damus stayed calm.
"And what proof do you have that would say that?" He asked with a raised brow. Being an inch taller than her was a good benefit since it showed she was still inferior to him.
"Don't play games with me. If you did beat any of the Brawlers, then their Attribute Energies would've returned to the palace" A smirk crept on her face as she stared into Damus' red eyes. "I guess you aren't as strong as we thought."
"Perhaps, but which one of us is working for a fool? If you were so superior, then why have you lost to the Brawlers more times than I could count?" Damus stepped forward with a cold glare. "Don't talk like you're above me, because in the end…..you're just a pawn in Zenoheld's game."
"Damn, he got you good flat board." Roxie said with a snicker. Mylene simply ignored her and she and Damus just kept looking at each other, daring the other to move. And then…...Mylene chuckled.
"You aren't a coward outside of the battlefield, I respect that. Now, have you battled Dragneel yet?" The Spectres and Vexos began to exit the teleportation room and through the chrome hallways of the huge battleship.
"I have and I will say this: he is a powerful opponent. To be able to be on par with Cybertros, as well as forcing him back to ball form is rare. And this Dragon Bond….." A slight smirk crept on Damus' face. "I look forward to defeating him."
"Oh please." Shadow pointed a long fingernail at Damus. "Get in line pal! I'm going to take down that pink haired bastard after what he did to Hades. And if you have a problem with it, then let's fight!" Shadow threw a mock punch at the leader of the Spectres, expecting him to flinch. However, his plan backfired as Damus grabbed his wrist, twisting it as he fell on his knee.
"Say that again, and I'll personally feed you to our hounds."
"OKAY OKAY, I'LL STOP!" Glaring at him for a few more seconds, Damus let go of his wrist as he held it in pain. "Geez, can't you take a joke?"
"Well, he is talking to you." Vali simply shrugged as he walked towards a door, which had the symbol of a wolf on it. "If you want to see what he means, step forward." Typing on the terminal on the right, the automatic doors opened. Both groups entered a rather dark room, with only a row of green lights on the floor.
"So, what kind of dogs you got down her, chihuahuas?" Lync joked, though no one bothered to laugh.
"It smells like a dirt mine." Volt, being the prideful Brawler he was, powered through the smell, but even he needed to comment on how bad it smelled here.
"I bet they aren't even here." Smirking, Shadow knocked on the cells to the right. "Hey, you stupid mutts! Come out you bunch of chi-"
*Smack*
However, before he could finish, a bone was spat from the shadows, hitting him on the forehead. "OWWW!" This got a few snickers from Grant, Roxie and even Lync. "Alright, who's the wise guy, huh?!" A low growl was heard from the shadows as the Darkus Brawler leaned forward.
*RRRRROOOOAAAARRRRR*
From the shadows, a large mechanical wolf pounced forward, slamming against the cell as Shadow Prov fell on his butt. Its skin was pure silver, its claws were as sharp as steel, a long blue tail wagged from the back, but the thing that scared the crap out of Prov…..were its glowing purple eyes, looking down at him like he was its next meal. "W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
"Like I said, if you said that again, I would feed you to our hounds." Walking forward, Damus reached out and stroked the snout of the cyberwolf, who calmed down as its master was standing in front of him. "Fang, as well as his pack were the unfortunately victims of raw Titanius 10."
"Raw?" To clarify, Talia pulled out a small card, which showed a hologram of Titanius 10.
"You see, Titanius 10 in its solid form can create many things. However, it is extremely dangerous when it is liquified. On the planet the Titanius we found crashed, it spread through a large amount of land, covering anyone and anything with it. The result being cybernetic creatures who have lost all sense of their former selves. Now they're mindless creatures that would kill anything in their way."
"And you were able to tame these creatures?" Mylene was rather impressed with the hidden weapons these Spectres had. Maybe she should find this planet so the Vexos could be an even deadlier force. Noticing her look, Alister spoke up.
"Don't even think about it. They'd rip your Bakugan in pieces by the time you even tried to fight back. The only way to tame them…...is to kill the pack leader."
"And how do you know WHO'S the pack leader?" Alister smirked as he gestured towards Damus.
"Since Cybertros and Damus were the ones who killed the pack leader, they are now the leader. But if I were you, I wouldn't do anything I'd regret, especially in front of them." The cybernetic Bakugan growled at the Vexos, as if daring them to attack their leader.
"That's enough Alister, let's not scare our allies. We still have much to discuss." Damus gestured everyone to follow him out of the room and into the bridge of the Calamity.
"So aside from losing to Dragneel, have you learned about anything that we could use against the Brawlers?" Ignoring her slight taunt, Damus typed on his Gauntlet before bringing up a video of his brawl with Natsu, more specifically the people that had been watching.
"Gotta say, for an idiot, Natsu's got some hot friends." Lync's eyes fell on a certain blonde, as well as a certain redhead and bartender.
"It seems like Natsu Dragneel is part of a much bigger group, one that uses abilities that we did not expect."
"Magic." The Spectres, as well as the crew on the bridge, turned to Volt, who had his arms crossed. "Professor Clay mentioned that Dragneel used a kind of magic, similar to my former Bakugan, but completely different."
"Magic." As Vali thought of what Volt said, Grant began to laugh loudly.
"Hahaha, oh come on! No one would never believe in that crap!"
"Grant." Damus spoke up, giving his comrade a serious glare. "Stand down."
"You can't seriously believe-"
"I've seen it with my own eyes." His mind went back to when Natsu used this 'Dragon Bond' with his Bakugan, giving him more power. "That must be the energy being emitted from the planet. There may be a chance we could use it to our advantage."
"Yes….." Mylene smirked as she stared at the strange people. "And maybe we could use these people to lure the Brawlers out."
*SMACK*
The room went silent as Damus slammed his fist on the table, a dissatisfied expression clear on his face. "We will not involve innocent people in our conflict with the Brawlers. That isn't what we agreed to."
"Are you serious?" Mylene stepped forward, her own glare matching his own. "It would make things easier for the both of us."
"Those people have done nothing to us. Involving them in the battle would make us seem like monsters."
"So keeping an image they won't remember is more important than finishing the mission? I can see why you're wasting all this technology."
"Involving the innocent is crossing the line."
"Maybe that line needs to be crossed."
"Then maybe I should do that now." As Damus stepped forward, Mylene placed a hand on right hip, more specifically her whip. No one dared to say anything, much less speak. Some because they knew it wasn't their fight while others because they were curious about the outcome. Red eyes glared at blue ones as the two leaders of their respective groups stood in silence. It wasn't until Mylene let out a tired sigh.
"Fine. We'll do it your way." Taking her hand off her whip, she stared back into his eyes with an annoyed expression. "But you'd better keep your word about helping us defeat the Brawlers, or-"
"We get it." Taking his eyes off Mylene for a second, Damus looked at two guards. "Take our guests to their quarters, they must be tired from the long trip." Nodding, the two guards motioned the Vexos to follow.
"Awww man, I wanted to see them fight!" Shadow Prov puffed his cheeks like a child.
"What can I say? Sometimes words are better than fighting." Lync shrugged. Even if he wanted to see a good fight, he was also pretty tired from teleporting all the way here. Volt and Mylene said nothing as they walked with their comrades, the doors closing behind them. It was at this point, Talia stepped forward, putting down her book.
"You don't believe them, do you?"
"Of course I don't." A deep scowl grew on Damus' face as he let out a sigh. "I want eyes watching them at all times. Something tells me they'll try something foolish."
'With Fairy Tail, later that day'
"Seriously Flame Brain, where the hell are you taking us?" Gray asked, clearly annoyed as he, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, Carla, Baron, Kallen and Tsubaki were currently walking through the forest of Magnolia, with the fire Dragon Slayer taking the lead.
"And mind telling us why you asked us to come?" Kallen asked her boyfriend with some irk in her voice. After the guild decided to enter the Grand Magic Games, everyone began to talk about where they would train and when they would leave. However, much to their surprise, Natsu dragged them out of the guild, though Mira, Sona and Alice decided to stay back and help with anything Mirajane needed.
"Well, we got some time until the Games, so I thought we should try to get some new magic." Natsu answered like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"And where do you think we'll find that?" Lucy asked curiously. A grin appeared on Natsu's face as he jumped over a large root.
"From Porlyusica!" As soon as Natsu said this, the members of team Natsu stopped in their tracks.
"Hey, is there something wrong?" Baron asked with mild concern.
"From the looks on their faces, this Porlyusica is a frightening person." Nemus observed.
"Are you serious Natsu?! You know she doesn't like people!" Happy said while pulling on Natsu's face. "She even hates cats, CATS!"
"You know you don't need to YELL right?" Pulling Happy off his face, Natsu began giving his feline friend a noogie, much to his dismay.
"Owowowowowow!" Rubbing her forehead in annoyance, Kallen grabbed Natsu by the ear before pulling it.
"Ow, knock it off!"
"Mind telling us WHO you're talking about?" Realising his ear, Kallen simply waited for her answer as Natsu rubbed his ear.
"She's our doctor and a friend of Gramps. Since she's almost as old as he is, I thought we should go to her to see if she has some secret magic we can use, or a pill that'll give us more magic."
"And you honestly believe she'll help?" Carla asked with a raised brow.
"I-I don't think it's nice to just ask someone to make you strong Natsu." Wendy said meekly.
"Come on guys. I know Gray's already weak since I kicked his ass without trying."
"SCREW YOU!"
"But if we're gonna fight in the games, then we need to get stronger fast. You guys trust, right?" There was no question about it. Of course they trusted the pink haired Dragon Slayer! After all he's done for each of them, the least they could do was trust him. Who knows? Maybe Porlyusica DOES have some kind of magic drug to help them. Looking at each other, the Fairy Tail team gave him a nod, making him smile as they continued to walk.
"Partner, can you tells us about this Porlyusica?" Leonidas asked his Brawler.
"She's….kinda crazy." The others gave him an 'are you serious' look. "But she's always helped us whenever we needed it, like when I got a fever and she treated me for days."
"But why does she live out here?" Ingram asked.
"Well….she kinda hates people, for some reason." The Fairy Tail team sweatdropped since it was VERY true. It wasn't long before the team reached a house that was connected to a large tree. "Here we are." Being the first to step forward, Natsu began knocking on the door. "Hey, it's Fairy Tail. Open up!"
"Are you sure we should be disturbing her?" Tsubaki asked with pure concern.
"She doesn't do much, so she should be here." Natsu then began knocking on the door again. "I can smell you inside, so just open th-"
*WHACK*
However, just as Natsu was about to knock on the door again, it suddenly opened…...only for a broom to fly out and smack Natsu on the forehead, sending him crashing onto the ground. Everyone could only stare in shock as a slim and tall elderly woman with pink hair, tied in a bun on the back of her head by two large pins with crescent moon-shaped edges, and with two bangs of hair left framing her face. She has reddish eyes, and a beauty mark located below her mouth, on the left side of her face. Her attire consists of a dark green blouse with a tie around the collar, paired with a long matching skirt and simple shoes. Over this, she sports a crimson-colored cape, with a wide collar decorated by massive Dragon horn-like decorations protruding outwards, and edges adorned by white, arch-like motifs. "I could hear you human. Hasn't Makarov taught you anything about patience?" The elderly woman said with clear irritation in her voice, her right hand holding the same broom that just whacked Natsu.
"Sorry, but why the hell did you hit me?!" He could take explosions in his face, ear pulling from his girlfriends, hell even sword swings from Erza. But Natsu was still weak against a simply broom, wielded by the woman in front of him.
"Simple: because you were bothering my afternoon." Just as Natsu was about to speak up, Tsubaki stepped forward, bowing her head respectfully.
"I'm sorry we bothered you miss." The older woman raised a brow at the new girl before turning back to the group.
"At least one of you shows some kind of respect. Now what are you doing here?"
"Well, we were wondering if you had something that could make us stronger. Our guild is entering the Grand Magic Games, so we need to get stronger soon." Porlyusica simply stared at Lucy, then everyone else…
*SLAM*
Then, faster than a speeding bullet….Porlyusica closed her door. "GET LOST!"
"Geez, and I thought dealing with crappy customers was bad." Kallen muttered with a sigh.
"I knew she didn't like humans, but that was harsh." Gurin said with a sweatdrop. As everyone thought of what to do, Carla looked at her Dragon Slayer, who was looking down with a small frown.
"Is everything alright child? You seem upset." Wendy just gave a small shake of her head, not convincing her friend.
"Come on! We just need some help." Hearing Natsu's call, Porlyusica opened the door…..only to widen her eyes as she saw a certain creature on his shoulder. Gritting her teeth, she once again grabbed her broom.
"You know I hate people, get lost. SHU, SHU!" Seeing her wave the broom like it was some kind of weapon, the gang was forced to run away.
"Geez, just cause you and Gramps dated doesn't mean you should hate us!" Unfortunately for Natsu, he was hit with a random frying pan, courtesy of Porlyusica. "OWWW!"
"We never dated you idiot!" For some reason, hearing her voice made Wendy turn to her, as if it was…..familiar. As soon as the humans left, Porlyusica frowned, not out of anger but rather…..out of thought.
"Man, I thought my grandma was cranky." Baron sat on one of the large roots, panting heavily. "Is it true that Master Makarov dated her?"
"Gramps mentioned in once, but he never talked about it again." Gray said with his hands in his pockets. "Probably cause they had a big break up."
"So what's the plan now hotshot?" Kallen asked Natsu, who scratched the back of his head. Shaking her head, Ingram turned to the others…...only to gasp at what she saw.
"Wendy?" Everyone turned towards the youngest of the group….only to widen their eyes as they saw Wendy actually cry, her head hung down.
"Hey, Wendy what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Being the oldest of her siblings, Tsubaki knew just how to comfort them whenever they got hurt. Sitting next to the Sky Maiden, she began to rub her back smoothly in order to ease her pain.
"She made Wendy cry?" Natsu growled under his breath as he stood up. "She's gonna pay!" To his surprise, Wendy shook her head while trying to wipe away her tears.
"It's not like that. She's…...just so familiar." Okay, now everyone was confused. As far as they knew, this was officially the first time those two had ever met. Carla stepped forward with a worried expression.
"Have you two met before?"
"I don't know how to explain it, but…..her voice, and her scent. They're so much like Grandeeney."
"HUH?!" The Fairy Tail members gasped in shock while the Brawlers and Bakugan tilted their heads.
"Grandeeney? Who is that?" Nemus asked.
"Well, you guys know how Natsu was raised by Igneel, right?" Lucy asked, getting nods from the others. "Gajeel and Wendy went through the same thing he did. Their Dragons…..left them in X777." The others widened their eyes. It was one thing that Natsu and Gajeel were left behind, but someone as young as Wendy…..that was beyond heartbreaking.
"My condolences Wendy." Leonidas said while lowering his head.
"So you're saying SHE'S Grandeeney?"
"There's no way a person could smell and sound like a dragon."
"Are you sure Wendy?"
"I don't know. But…..she smells and sounds like my mother, Grandeeney the Sky Dragon." Nodding, Natsu stood up and made his way towards Porlyusica's house.
"Then It's about time we get some answers."
"Wait partner, be reasonable. If Porlyusica is the human equivalent to Grandeeney, then there are many questions that should be asked."
"There could be a chance she's a kind of reincarnation of Grandeeney, but magic as strong as that shouldn't exist."
"Man, this is really hurting my brain." Baron and Happy rubbed their heads to try and understand everything.
"You know, now that you mention it, it doesn't make any sense at all." Wendy's eyes softened as she continued. "Besides the way she smells and her voice, they're two completely different people."
"From what you've told me, your dragon was quite kind to others."
"I can't really picture a nice dragon, considering Acnologia." A loud cough was heard by Natsu, who gave Lucy a blank face as he gestured towards Leonidas. "Oh, I-I mean besides you Leonidas, sorry."
"None taken."
"I'm sorry if my attitude offenses you." Everyone jumped as Porlyusica suddenly appeared from behind them with a blank face.
"Miss Porlyusica!"
"Geez, you could've said something earlier." Wendy began to walk up to the older woman with a curious look. She simply looked at the group, noticing several more strange creatures on Kallen, Baron and Tsubaki's shoulders before speaking.
"There's really no point in hiding it much longer, so I might as well tell you my big secret. I know it's not what you want to hear, but I'm not the Dragon you seek. I'm just a human being, same as you."
"But why do you hate people so much?" Baron asked innocently as Porlyusica sighed.
"Because….they ask too many stupid questions." This got a sweatdrop from everyone. "I'm afraid I can't tell you where your dragon is, I simply don't know."
"Then how come you two are the same?"
"Are you familiar with the alternate world known as Edolas, yes? Rumor has it you've been there before."
"How do you know about Edolas?" Gray asked in shock.
"Because…...I'm from Edolas."
"WHAT?!" She simply waited as everyone calmed down before continuing.
"Every living being in Earthland has a counterpart, so in a way, I'm the Grandeeney of Edolas. I'm not from this world, but I came here several decades ago." Porlyusica then explained how confused she was about this new world, how she met Makarov and how she had been living there ever since. To say everyone was overwhelmed would be an understatement.
"So that means Igneel and metalicana have human versions in Edolas too? Maybe they came here too, like you did!"
"I don't know. I've never encountered them. However, I did have the chance to talk the Sky Dragon, though we spoke through telepathy." Her eyes then shifted towards Wendy. "You came to me in order to seek more power, but I am only able to help Wendy." Reaching into her cloak, Porlyusica pulled out several papers, handing it to the blunette. "The Sky Dragon dicated these spells to me. It has the spells Milky Way and Shattering Light: Sky Drill. Two Dragon Slayer Secret Arts she never got a chance to teach you." Wendy took the papers and looked at them in shock.
"I…...I don't know what to say. Grandeeney really did this?"
"She asked me to give it to you, should you ever come to visit. Those are powerful spells, extremely dangerous…." Porlyusica then turned around and began to walk away. "Make sure you take extreme caution." A big smile crept on Wendy's face before she gave Porlyusica a bow.
"Thank you so much Grand-I mean miss Porlyusica!" No one could see the small smile grow on Porlyusica. A hand was placed on Wendy's head, revealing a smirking Kallen.
"Good one kid." Not being able to hold in her happiness, Wendy gave Kallen a big hug, much to her slight surprise. Dammit. Unbeknownst to most, Kallen had a soft spot for kids, and the amount of cuteness coming from Wendy was a bit much. Letting out a deep sigh, Kallen just patted Wendy on the head, not even bothering to hide the smile on her face. The others smiled at the scene, though Kallen did mouth 'don't even say anything' so they wouldn't tell anyone else.
"So we couldn't get anything new. Who cares." Natsu clenched his fist before throwing it in the air. "We can still beat Sabertooth, the Vexos and anyone else as long as we keep training!"
"RIGHT!" Little did anyone know, Porlyusica was in deep thought as she opened the door to her house. A serious expression appeared on her face as she walked up to her bookshelf, taking out one on the left.
I knew I saw those creatures before. Placing the book on her table, she blew some air on it, getting rid of all the dust that it had been collecting. Those children don't know how serious a role those creatures have. Looking down, Porlyusica was staying at a red book…...which had the six attributes of the Perfect Core on the cover.
'The Calamity, later that night'
Though they were still in orbit, the crew of the Calamity began to prepare for a well deserved night of slumber. As Damus instructed, the Vexos were under constant surveillance thanks to the hidden cameras in their room. Speaking of Damus, he entered his own personal quarters, letting out a deep sigh as the doors closed behind him. Today was…..just annoying. Yeah he had the thrill of battle thanks to Natsu Dragneel, with his 'allies' were just irritating: from Mylene's constant glares to Lync's bad jokes to Shadow Prov's lack of manners. The only one he was okay with was Volt, who simply kept to himself. THAT was something he was grateful for.
*Beep, Beep*
However, the peace and quiet was interrupted when his Gauntlet began to beep, expect in flashed a yellow light. With one more sigh, he typed on it as a hologram appeared in the room. "You've had a long day, haven't you?" The hologram spoke as Damus took a seat on his chair.
"I don't understand how you were able to deal with them for over a year." A chuckle escaped the hologram as Damus smirked slightly. "But your intel on Dragneel and the Vexos was on point, so thank you."
"You will still help me rule New Vestroia, right?"
"Only if you will help us find the remaining swords."
"Is it true that together, they have the power that could rival that of the Perfect Core?" Damus narrowed his eyes at the hologram.
"That is for me to know. Have you received the parts for your partner?"
"While I admit your tech is….harder to install, it has shown impressive results? How was your battle with Natsu Dragneel?"
"He was….impressive. But I know how much you want to battle him? I'll send you the coordinates of his home."
"Good, I'll stay in touch."
"Hopefully we will meet again…...Spectra." The hologram, revealing it to be Spectra Phantom, smirked before the call was cut.
WWWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTTTT?! Yeah, that's what I ask myself everytime I look in the mirror, lol. No but seriously, I hope you guys liked this chapter. Sorry if it was a 'filler,' but I have to build events up for future battles, ya know? For ratings…..oh balls, this is Fanfiction, lol. But still, I wanted everyone to react to the GMG, as well as show a small, no-to-subtle hint that the Bakugan were on Earthland before. Were they friends, or foes? Will the Vexos try to do something to one up the Spectres? How does Spectra fit into this? And who else should I add for my Total Drama cartoon crossover since I got six out of eighteen characters from cartoons?
Also…..HOLY SHIT, THE INFINITY WAR TRAILER WAS SO BADASS!. Ahem…
