Chapter 6: Battle Royale. Dan's predicament.
The next day, things were pretty intensive for Dan, after last night of his mothers constant moans in masterbation, he barely got any sleep. He needed some caffeine.
He walked to Runo's cafe while his eyes drooped with bags under his eyes.
"Welcome and good morning si-Whoa Dan, you look terrible." Runo said in shock as she saw him walk in.
"You don't know the half of it." He groaned before sitting at a table. His face planted to the table before pulling out a couple dollars. "Get me a cappuccino, make it a double please."
"Right, want anything to eat with that?" Runo asked.
"Throw in a scone while you're at it." He replied with a tired yawn.
After a few minutes she came back. "Here you go." Then she sat down in front of him. "Okay so what exactly happened?"
Dan took a large gulp of his drink before sighing while clicking the cup down. "You'd call me crazy if I told you."
"Have you seen my parents?" The bluenette asked, jabbing her thumb over her shoulder towards the wall of pictures of her that her dad had. "I live with crazy Dan."
The young man glanced to runo with a blank expression. "Try living with your parents that moan all night long."
"Sorry, what?" She asked in confusion.
"Gah." Dan groaned and decided to get to the point. "My mother was masterbating all night long and moaning like crazy."
"Were you watching?" Runo said, trying not to get sick.
"Yes, I mean no, grrr, it was the heat of the moment runo. I didn't know what my mom was doing before the moment I saw the door unlocked. It was like she wanted me to see her." The boy stated.
"That's really weird." She said. "Don't she and your dad still well, ya know."
Dan sighed. "My dad is always out of town on his trips, so it's just me and my mom."
"So she doesn't have anyone to help her get release." Runo noted. "Yeah that sounds like a good reason to masturbate alright."
"I literally don't know how to handle this Runo, and this morning she was giving me these grins." Dan spoke while taking another sip of his cappuccino.
"Oh god, don't tell me your mom has a taboo fetish?" The girl whispered.
Dan nearly spat his drink out before swallowing with a cough. "You really think that Runo? She's my mother for god's sake, she knows better than that."
"Her current situation is almost exactly like all those moms who do their step sons or daughters. Sure seems possible." Runo whispered.
"How the hell am I supposed to deal with this Runo?" Dan asked his friend.
"How should I know?" She told him.
"Cause you're the only person I can trust to tell you about this." her friend stated before ruffling his hair. "I don't know anything about mom and son relationships."
"Neither do I, If you ask me you should ask Shiro." She told him. "He seems pretty into that sorta thing, maybe, I honestly don't know."
'Yeah...maybe shiro can help me with this. I just hope he can.' Dan thought before gulping the last of his drink down. "Okay, so later I'll take to Shiro about this mess."
"Good thinking." Runo nodded. Then one of the customers called her for a refill. "I gotta get back to work, I'll talk to you later."
"Right." He nodded and watched her go. He sighed softly while rubbing his tired eyes. 'I just hope this doesn't lead to even more worse cases such as this.'
"Daniel, If I may interject…" Drago said from his pocket.
"What is it drago?" Dan asked his bakugan partner.
"While I'm not entirely sure about what Human mating customs intail, perhaps your mother may just want to get closer to you?" The dragonoid stated.
"I could understand that, but it's illegal for families to mate eachother." Dan explained.
The Bakugan looked at him. "Illegal? What does that word mean?"
"Illegal means that something cannot be done, it's part of our society. If you do something illegal, you'll be facing consequences, such as being sent to prison or facing charges." dan explained.
"Oh." Drago nodded. Human culture certainly was confusing.
(Meanwhile with Shiro)
Shiro was in the middle of setting up His music set and webcam for the music video shoot, there was an early release of a song from a new Godzilla movie and he wanted to do a cover of it to commiserate the event.
"Why exactly are you doing this again, Human?" Gojira asked.
"Cause I do covers of the music from your games and movies, my fans on youtube like this stuff." Shiro explained. "Besides, the new Godzilla movie that came out has been reaching a ton of hits, making it a new world wide favorite about you and the other kaiju."
"I saw the concept art for me. I look bad ass!" Rodan laughed.
"I have to say the humans really captured my form well." Mothra added.
"I honestly can't believe they made me almost lose to a parasite." Gojira growled.
"Aw lighten up big guy." Shiro chuckled. "At least they captured your title as king of the monsters well in the movie."
As he finished setting up he started strumming on his guitar, then the music started before he started shredding.
Gojira!
Gojira!
Sore! Sore! Sore! Sore!
Go! Go! Go!
Gojira!
Gojira!
Gojira!
Go! Go! Go!
Gojira!
Grasping his microphone, the green haired boy started to shred and sing. "With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down!"
Sor Sor!
"Helpless people on subway trains, Scream bug-eyed, as he looks in on them!" Came the boy spun and swung his guitar.
(Gojira! Mosura!)
"He picks up a bus and he throws it back down, As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town!" Shiro sang. "Oh, no, they say he's got to go! Go, go, Godzilla! (Ooh)! Oh, no, there goes Tokyo! Go, go, Godzilla!"
Gojira!
Gojira!
Sore! Sore! Sore! Sore!
Go! Go! Go!
Gojira!
Gojira!
Gojira!
Sore! Sore! Sore! Sore!
Go! Go! Go!
Gojira!
"Oh, no, they say he's got to go! Go, go, Godzilla! Oh, no, there goes Tokyo! Go, go, Godzilla!" The boy yelled, as he pointed at the camera with a finger gun. "History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man! GODZILLA!"
(Sore! Sore! Sore! Sore!)
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man! GODZILLA!" Shiro repeated.
(Gojira!)
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man!" Repeated again. "GODZILLA! GODZILLA! GODZILLA!"
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man!"
Sore! Sore! Sore! Sore!
Go! Go! Go!
Gojira!
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man!"
Sore! Sore! Sore! Sore!
Go! Go! Go!
Gojira
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man!" Shiro sang one last time. "GODZILLA!" He yelled before jumping while splitting in the air while doing one last strum on his guitar.
(Godzilla's roar in the end)
Shiro panted as he was in a kneeling split after the end of the song. "Hell Yeah."
"That...was...Awesome!" Junior yelled while bouncing around.
"I'm not sure what just happened, but bravo." Anguirus said.
"Very Good Mr. Shiro." The Timujin said, clapping.
"Who knew humans know so highly of you Gojira." Mothra spoke to the king of monsters.
"Heh." The king huffed.
(A couple days later, at Marucho's private airlift.)
A few days have passed with the brawlers, they soon got word from the tournament sponsors that the next match of the tournament will be in Australia, in which the match will be a battle royal.
"Isn't Australia where the Subterra Brawler Julie lives?" Zina asked the Brawlers.
"Yep, she'll be expecting us when we get there." Dan nodded.
"Sure Do hope it's not gonna be as hot as I hear it is down there." Shiro said, adjusting his collar.
"Don't worry, I'll be sure to cool you down when I can." The young woman grinned while hugging his arm into her breasts.
"Not exactly what I meant, but okay." The boy smiled. "In any case we can't leave until Marucho gets here with his airship, where is he anyway? It's not like him to be late."
"Your guess is as good as ours." Runo replied while shrugging.
Then there was a loud roar of a jet engine. "Speak of the Devil." Dan smirked as said airship started to fly towards them.
The airship landed before a door opened up as the young boy waved to them. "Hey guys! Sorry for the wait!"
"About Time ya got here shorty!" Shiro called, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
The group boarded the plane before it took off as marucho got them settled into the ship for the ride.
"So where's Shun?" Alice asked, noticing the raven haired loner was missing.
"Wasn't he with us when we were at the airport?" Dan asked.
"He couldn't make it in time, so he asked if we could swing by his house." Marucho explained. "Here it comes now."
True to form the ventus Brawler was on the roof of his Japanese styled house and had a bag slung over his shoulder, and a grappling hook in hand. When the plane flew over him, he tossed the hook upward and it latched on, and he rode the rope as it took him away.
"Show off." Shiro scoffed.
"Man He is such a show off!" Dan groaned.
"Took The Words right outta my mouth." Zina nodded.
While they knew the trip will be a while, Dan decided to take this chance with Shiro. "Hey Shiro, mind if i talk to you in private?"
"Sure." The green haired boy nodded, placing his Bakugan on the table. They went to a different room and sat down, as well as the two fairies. "Stay here ladies. Okay, what's up?"
Dan took a breath and explained. "Something has been up with my mom recently. She seemed a bit more closer to me than usual when my dad out of town...and just last night she was masterbating and moaning like crazy, and even this morning she was giving me these grins." He explained. "Shiro...I don't know if this is true, but I think my mom knows."
Shiro sighed and shook his head. "Dan, Dan, Dan, I told you already, just let it be, if things happen they happen, there's no need to go fearing the inevitable."
Dan sat up, he was right, Shiro had told him that before, Why was he even talking to him about this in the first place? He's the one who started it all.
"I don't know Shiro...I'm just nervous about this. This is all new to me." The pyrus brawler spoke.
Said boy sat back and crossed his arms behind his head. "Trust me Dan, worrying just makes things worse. Just relax, in fact, try using this tournament to take your mind off of things."
Dan breathed. "Yeah...you're right." He thought. 'Maybe this will give me time to think over about this.'
(A little while later, just outside of Sydney Australia.)
Marucho's airship soon touched down in the outback just outside of Sydney Australia, where Julie was eagerly waiting. The group touched down and the hatch opened as they saw the girl.
"Hey guys!" Julie waved.
"Yo Julie!" Dan smiled, waving back.
"Danny!" Julie squealed, jumping to him and wrapping her arms around his neck as they spun around.
"Hey! Julie don't go slobbering all over him!" Runo yelled, face red in aggravation.
Zina grinned before whispering to Shiro. "I smell a catfight."
"Really?" Shiro asked, looking at the situation. "Isn't that how they always act?"
"Humans, when will they ever learn?" Ghidora yawned in his primary voice. "Acting subtle towards your rivals wastes precious time and energy." Added the more high pitched and raspy voice of his third head.
"I'm so happy to see you all, especially you danny." Julie giggled while nuzzling his neck.
"Uh...thanks, I guess?" Dan said sheepishly.
Julie giggled before kissing him on the cheek. This one action caused Runo to blow sky high, as her ears shot out steam and she grabbed Julie by the collar of her pink crop top jacket and pulled her away from Dan and dragged her away as her boot heels made tracks in the orange dirt.
"Well...that escalated quickly." Shiro blinked.
"Uh, what just happened?" Dan asked, confused.
Shun shrugged, Alice giggled, and Marucho pushed up His glasses in intrigue. "Dunno/Well.../I haven't the foggiest idea." They all said.
"So...should we head to the tournament?" The kaiju boy asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine." The team's leader replied. "Alright gang, let's start making our way to the Sydney Bakugan Opera House Arena!"
(A little later, in the stadium.)
The others made it in time as the other remaining brawlers were gathered at the stadium.
"So this tournament, will it be in an attribute specific field like last time?" Shiro asked.
"Oh yeah, it's gonna be a Subterra field." Julie chirped.
"Welcome fellow brawlers!" The announcer spoke. "You have made it to the next round, today you will be facing off against each other in a battle royal on the subterra battlefield!"
The field appeared on the screen, it was a sandy desert with quicksand traps, cup ramps, floating platforms, and huge stone statues of what looked like gorem, who slammed the ground causing an earthquake every so often. Pickups were all over the place as well.
"You all will be able to control your bakugan when you throw them. Collect as many power ups and upgrades to give you an edge in battle." The announcer spoke.
"So this will be like the aquos field, Okay and apparently Subterra Bakugan will have an edge." Shiro said. "Sounds like your territory, Anguirus."
"I'll bury them six feet under." The ankylosaur kaiju grinned.
"Now, let us begin the roulette!" The announcer spoke as four wheels spun.
The roulette spun until it slowly ground to a halt, showing the first round. It was Shiro, Shun, a guy named Julio, and some chick named Chan Lee.
'So I get to face shun.' Shiro thought as his kaiju energy pulsed. 'Perfect, time for some payback.'
As they all entered the blank room where the field would appear, everyone took their places, and spectators sat in seats kind of like the ones in an opera house, Hell they even had binoculars like the ones there too.
"Brawlers ready? Begin!" The announcer called.
"Bakugan, field open!" The four called and showed their cards.
The four brawlers emerged into the subterra arena.
"We got this!" Shiro smirked.
"Let's Battle now!" Julio growled, flexing his huge arms.
Chan lee did some Kung fu moves before taunting the boys. "Are you scared?"
Shun simply crossed his arms. "Are you ready? Let's go!"
Next they all threw their gate cards. "Gate card set!"
Shiro then went first. "Bakugan Brawl!" He threw his chosen orb as it went towards the stone ramps near the pick ups. Like instructed, he collected some of the items around the arena before rolling his bakugan to one of the gate cards. "Bakugan stand!"
Anguirus rose on the Gate card and let out a shriek. "I liiiiiiivvvveee!" He yelled, which oddly enough, made his voice sound like Eddie Murphy. A mist barrier covering him
"Bakugan recognized. Subterra-Pyrus Anguris, enters battle at 580Gs, no other data available. Barrier pick up card also in effect." All bakupods said.
"WIth Barrier, it'll protect Angurius from any sphere attacks." Shiro grinned as he went kaiju mode.
"And the first Bakugan enters the field, and it's one of the fabled kaijugan too! Wonder what it'll do?" The announcer asked.
It was Shun's turn next. "Bakugan Brawl!" he tossed his orb through the field before it rolled to collect a few items before he had his bakugan land on his card. "Bakugan stand!"
There rose a butterfly girl, she was a ventus Bakugan, fragile, but also seemed strong.
"Ventus Monarus enters battle at 425Gs." The bakupods said.
"So his Bakugan of choice is a butterfly? Okay." The green haired boy said.
Chan lee was next, doing more poses before tossing her bakugan. "Bakugan Brawl!" Her sphere flew through the sandy grounds, picking a few power ups until landing. "Griffon stand!"
Said Bakugan rose on her own card with a roar, the lion half of its body, digging its claws in the card's surface.
"That doesn't look like a griffin...looks more like a chimera." Shiro said.
"Pyrus Griffon enters battle at 570Gs." All bakupods buzzed.
"Now i'm up!" Julio called as he tossed his. "Bakugan brawl!" His sped through the ring before landing on his card. "Falconeer stand!"
As the bakupods updated their users, Shiro tried to see what to do next. "Okay, Let's see...Alright. Ghidora, you're up." He pulled out the tyrant of terror and aimed right at Pyrus Griffon's forehead. "Bakugan Brawl!"
The bakugan landed on Chan lees card before rising up with his traditional bell-like screech.
"Bakugan Ghidorah enters battle at 580 Gs." The pods buzzed.
Ghidora's spiny tails rattled like a rattlesnake as his heads all examined the Bakugan before them with varying degrees of intrigue, as he towered over it, his wings helping him up like a dragon would with its wings.
Chan lee trembled a bit, having her first opponent to be one of the legendary enemies of Gojira himself. "G-Gate card open! Pyrus field!" The card opened as fire burned around the two.
"Griffon power increase of 90 Gs. power now at 660 Gs." The pods spoke.
The second head of Ghidorah chuckled, the middle scoffed, while the third trembled. The middle head bit the trembling one to make it buck up as gold lightning crackled around it's body and it's spread its wings, lightning shooting out of the tips.
"We are not afraid of you!" Ghidorah roared. Storm clouds forming over the stadium as strong winds started to gather.
Shiro looked down at his ability card as it glowed and rewrote itself. "Ability card activate! Titanic Dark Lightning Hurricane!"
Ghidorah screeched as the lightning surge stronger around him as the darkness blasted his body, thus mixing purple lightning around his body. It shot from every part of his body as it dug into the surface of the card, destroying it and putting out the fire, gale force winds blowing at the Pyrus Bakugan as it tried to stay put.
"Gate card bonus nullified. Griffon back to 570 Gs. Ghidorah power increase of 150 Gs, boosted to 830 Gs." The pods buzzed.
Ghidorah blasted his gravity bolts at Griffin as it exploded, causing it to fly and turn into a sphere, landing at Chan Lee's feet.
"What a strong start, Shiro has mopped the floor with Chan Lee's Griffon like it was just a kitty!" The announcer called.
"Ha! Better luck next time." Shiro smiled as he caught the Bakugan.
Julio went next, he tried to avoid a direct fight with Anguris by going to his own card with his next Bakugan, awarding him a double stand. "Alright!" He grinned.
Shun tossed another card to the field before tossing his next bakugan. "Bakugan brawl!" Tossing it, it skid around the field before summoning his falconeer on his next gate card.
"Falconeer enters battle at 430 Gs." The pods announced.
Chan Lee was also being cautious, she then decided to set another card and put her own Bakugan there for a possible double stand. "Bakugan stand! Rise Pyrus Warrius!" She yelled.
"Warrius enters battle at 470 Gs." The pods buzzed.
Angurius meanwhile growled. "This is getting annoying! Shiro! How about you use my ability card to have them hear my challenge loud and clear!?"
"Alright, If you say so." Shiro shrugging, throwing the card in the air. "Ability card activate! Kaiju Sonic War Cry!"
Angurius inhaled his breath before releasing a massive soundwave, hitting Falconeer, Ventus Monaris, and Pyrus Warrius, the three bakugan hearing his call before a path formed, allowing them to approach him.
Falconeer was the one to take up the challenge as it walked to the Kaiju as it's barrier disappeared and the pathway sealed itself. With his opponent finally in range, the mutated ankylosaur growled as it hit the ground with his tail in challenge.
Shun acted quickly, knowing his bakugan won't stand a chance. "Ability card activate! Monaris wind carry!" The butterfly bakugan took off to the skies and flew around. "This should even the odds!" The second ventus bakugan landed next to falconeer.
"Falconeer and Monaris join forces, combined power level of 855 Gs." The pods noticed.
"Damn…" Shiro thought, then realized that he had an ace in the hole. "Oh yeah! Gate card open, Quicksand freeze!" the gate card opened up before sand covered the ventus bakugan up while Angurius stood over it like it was stone.
"Sudden power decrease to 400 Gs!" The bakupods said.
Said kaiju turned around and raised his tail, then slammed it down on the two Bakugan, causing a huge explosion of sand going up like a geyser. The two Ventus Bakugan returned to their Brawler and Shun growled in aggravation.
"Shun has lost both of his bakugans to Shiro as well! This kid is unstoppable!" The announcer called.
In the private domes, marduk grinned. "I can sense such hatred from Shiro to Shun."
"Guess Shunny boy's gonna get clobbered from digging into private info about him." Masquerade smirked.
"Heh heh, that it would seem, oh ally mine. That it would seem." Marduk nodded.
Shiro tossed his next gate card down before tossing Anguirus again. "Bakugan brawl! Angurius, Rise again!" The ankylosaurus emerged again and roared.
"Skyress." Shun said to his partner.
"There's no need to ask, Shun, send me in." She told him.
Shun nodded before grasping her. "Bakugan Brawl!" He yelled and tossed his ace in. "Skyress, stand!" The wind phoenix rose and screeched, facing Anguirus.
"Ventus Skyress enters battle at 520 Gs." The pods announced.
"Finally decided to throw in your ace huh?" Shiro smirked. "I'm gonna enjoy every moment of this."
"Go skyress!" Shun yelled as his bakugan lunged.
"Ah Ah Ah, not so fast! Gate card open!" Shiro grinned wagging his finger. "Triple Battle!"
A rainbow lightning cage divider stopped Skyress from advancing. "Mosura, your turn." Shiro said. The sphere rose before rushing into the fight, emerging as the next kaiju rose next to Angurius as she chirped with a screech.
"Haos-Ventus Mothra enters battle at 420Gs, combined power equal to 840Gs!" Both bakupods buzzed.
"So, we finally meet, face to face, Ventus Skyress." Mothra chirped.
"You're the infamous Mothra, guardian of earth." Skyress spoke back.
"And by proxy, Queen of monsters, yes." She nodded. "You should be grateful. For you are about to meet your match."
"Time to get some payback!" Shiro yelled as he drew his final card. "Ultimate ability activate! Rage mode!" Rings of energy formed around the two kaiju as both screeched and roared while they glowed red.
"Power surge detected. Both bakugan power boost of 300 Gs, combined to 1,240Gs!" All bakupods buzzed.
"Skyress! Ability card activate! Typhoon green Phoenix storm!" Shun yelled, throwing his card towards her.
Skyress screeched while glowing green while energy spun around her.
"Skyress power increase of 200 Gs, total to 720 Gs." The pods announced.
The red and green beast shaped energy flames charged at each other as they collided, with the following explosion all three Bakugan were sent back, Skyress was smoking and dusty as she landed at Shun's feet, while the other two were glowing red and hot to the touch. The victor was Shiro.
"Ow Ow Ow! Hot Bakugan, hot Bakugan! Yow!" Shiro yelped, tossing them around.
"With Shun's last bakugan defeated, he is now eliminated from the competition!" The announcer spoke. "And with three wins, Shiro is now moving on to the next round!"
Shiro stepped out while the other two duke it out while holding the three up. "Good job you three, we got that battle in the bag."
"It was a waste of time." Ghidorah growled.
"That certainly was fun." Mothra giggled.
"Borrring!" Anguris groaned.
"You did well mistress Mosura." The fairies said from inside Shiro's shirt pocket.
Shiro chuckled before joining the others at the stands. "Hey Shiro! Good job out there!" Dan spoke.
"Thanks Dan." Shiro smiled.
"Poor Skyress though, I hope she's okay." Runo said in concern.
"Yeah." Julie nodded.
"Well Shun certainly got what he deserved for what he did to me." Shiro scoffed while crossing his arms.
"Still, don't you think you went a little overboard? Couldn't you have taken your anger out on someone else?" Alice asked.
"I concur, We needed Shun to help with masquerade and Marduk, now he's out of the competition." Marucho nodded. "Now we are at a serious disadvantage."
"Well, if HE didn't hack into my life and told me about the truth about who I was and my father, maybe he wouldn't have gotten into this mess in the first place. It was his fault from the start this happened and he got what was coming to him." The kaiju boy stated firmly.
The Brawlers all seemed a little shocked at how mad he got and backed away, almost out of fear. Shiro seeing this blinked slowly. "You kidding me? You all really scared of me?"
"It's not that Shiro." Alice told him. "It's just your temper is a little...unnerving, is all."
"You all think that? You think I might go crazy cause my power is growing stronger? You all think I might go savage on you all?" The boy asked while his eyes flashed.
Runo looked the most scared. Dan noticed that and decided to try and calm them both. "No, that's not it at all dude." Dan told him.
"Yes, Dan is right. It's natural to be cautious around something that you don't understand." Drago nodded.
"This coming from a bakugan who doesn't understand about kaiju or humans." A dark voice spoke before a sphere hovered over and popped open, revealing to be Monster X.
"Monster X!" Godzilla growled.
"Little brother." Ghidorah hissed.
"It's been a while you two." Monster X spoke before turning to Shiro. "And you're Shiro, I've heard much about you."
"Oh really?" The boy asked.
"You hold an amazing gift of the Kaiju, yet your friends don't understand how great you truly are." The monster explained.
"Shiro, Don't listen to him, I know Monster X, he lives to manipulate others to do his bidding by turning them on each other." Godzilla whispered.
"He's right human, my little brother is a crafty one." Ghidorah nodded.
"This coming from my big brother who can't even defeat an overgrown lizard." Monster X mocked.
"Last I checked, you didn't either, 'Little' Brother." Ghidorah hissed.
Monster X chuckled. "True, but I have grown stronger than ever, not even you or Godzilla can beat me." He turned to Shiro again. "Think it over Shiro, You are holding back your gift, and Me and my Master, can unlock your full potential." He laughed before vanishing in orange sparks.
Silence fell, everyone didn't move or speak, until Zina spoke. "Shiro….Master?" She asked, putting a hand on his shoulder.
He was silent for a moment. "...he's lying."
Dan breathed in relief. "Glad you think so man."
"I may think so, but that doesn't let you off the hook, I don't appreciate being held in distrust by the ones I consider my friends." He told the Brawler. The others glanced at each other with concern, knowing they have a lot to make up for.
Meanwhile, orange sparks spurted as Monster X appeared before landing in marduk's palm. "He refused to join us, but I sensed a mislead in his mind."
"We shall see if things plan out, o Monster Mine, but do not become complacent." Marduk told him.
"Of course, 'Master'." Monster X grinned as a purple flash waved over Marduk's visible eye.
