StrategicChamp - No need to worry about sending too much reviews, I actually like when people give me their reflections on the story, regardless of them being positive or not. By the way, thanks for your permission regarding your OC, althrough I'm currently have a mini character arc going on and second story in makinh I'll make sure to give you the results sooner or later.
Anyways, let the show go on.
Narrator pow:
- All right then. - Said Maken to the group, as he rised up from his seat. - Let's start with general trust towards others. - He added, taking out dimension card.
- So you want to brawl? How will it even help me? - Askwb Blake, as she did the same.
- Simple, you just have to finally trust Ravenoid instead of going on your own whenever you feel like it. I mean, it's not like you tried that earlier from what I know. - Maken replied with a troubled face. - Anyways let's proceed. - He added, turning his card on the other side while his and Blake's partners landed on their respective shoulders.
- Field open! - They both shouted, as battlefield expanded across eyesight. - Gate card set! - They added in a instatn, throwing their cards against eachother.
- Let's see how easy can it get. - Said Makem, taking out his bakugan and throwing him on the field. - Bakugan brawl! Serpenoid stand! - He added, as the red ball stood in the middle of his gate card and changed into giant Snake with same colour.
- My lady, please wait. - Said Ravenoid to his brawler. - Maken is obviously planning something. We should be cautious on this one. - He added with solemn voice.
- I figured as much. - Coldly replied Blake, as she took out her bakugan. - Bakugan brawl! Warius stand! - She added, as ogre-like creature stood on her gate card.
- "Hmm... She does definitely tries to consult her moves with her partner, but for how long and how much?" - Thought Maken while taking out his second bakugan. - Bakugan brawl, Saurus stand! - He shouted, engaging into fight against Warius.
- New battle detected. Warius at 300g, Saurus at 320g. - Informed in advance battle system.
- Blake? - Asked Ravenoid to his lady, very unsure of what to expect.
- Gate card open, Intercept! - Shouted Blake, as Ravenoid went onto the battlefield in a split of a second and stood between two fighting bakugans, interrupting their duel.
- Warius replaced by Ravenoid with 350g. Saurus power level unchanged. - Said battle system, following the events.
- Now this is some deep thinking! - Said purpousely overemotional Maken, watching his Saurus getting kicked out of battlefield and fall under his legs back in ball form.
- Huh, so Intercept doesn't leave opponent enough time to use ability cards. - Said Blake to herself, catching her returning warriors.
- "Sweet, she didn't tried to just throw in her Stinglash, just so she could save Ravenoid for the end. But now let's go for phase two." - Maken told to himself in his mind, taking out his second gate card. - Gate card set! - He added soon after, throwing his gate card on the left of one his Serpenoid stood on. - You ready pal? - He then turned to Griffon who jumped into his hands.
- Yes I am, now let me in! - Replied his guardian, now in a rush
- Here we go then! Ba-ku-gan brawl! Griffon stand! - Shouted Maken, saying more aggresive version of classic formula spoken before every throw. - It's time to see how much you trust your pal. - He added with sheer anger and confidence, causing Blake to take a step back.
- Don't make me wait for too long. - Added impatient Griffon, currently on Maken's second gate card.
- Let's think it over, this is turn based strateg after all. - Said Ravenoid to his owner.
- Sure... - Replied slowly Blake, looking over the battlefield. - Serpenoid is a bait that will either make us lose a bakugan or force us to fight with Griffon, willingly or not. - She continued with a but quiet voice so her opponents won't hear her. - How about we attack Serpenoid with Stinglash to check? - She asked her partner.
- Better no. - Replied Ravenoid, also looking on the field. - Let's send Warius to have equal power levels and see what happens. - He added shortly after.
- Got it. - Finished discussion Blake, taking out Warius for a second time. - Bakugan brawl! Warius stand! - She shouted once more, as second battle has started.
- Hmph, gate card open, Hyper Merge. - Said Maken with unimpressed look.
- Warius down to 100g, Serpenoid up to 500g. - Added battle system.
- Blake? - Asked Ravenoid, now nervous.
- No need to worry, I got this. - She replied, taking out one of her cards. - Ability card activate! Club Defense! - She shouted, upon which Warius spun his mace a bit and blocked Serpenoid's attack with it.
-Warius up to 400g, Serpenoid down to 300g. - Followed after her battle system.
- Gate card open, Warp Gate! - Quickly reacted Maken, while Griffon teleported into prestently going on fight.
- Now Maken has 650g, your move? - Asked Ravenoid once more.
- Oh it's simple. - Said now amused (for some reason.) Blake. - Ability activate, Shadow Appearance! - She said while ghost image of Ravenoid joined the battle.
- Team Blake at 750g, team Maken 100g behind. - Informed battle system for the last time.
- Well played I guess. - Said Maken, watching his bakugans get punched out of the field into balls.
- Guess that's the win. - Said Blake, catching her Warius back in hand.
- Nice play you two make there. - Said Maken as field disappeared and time began to flow again. - So now comes final question from me. - He added as light brighten his right side of the body. - Do you trust me? - He asked with wide smile on his face and heart full of hope.
- Heh, I see it now. - Said Blake in response, letting herself get under the pressure of Maken's personality. - I trust you. - She added before laughing herself on him and hugging him.
- Heheh. No wonder I haven't give up on you. - Ended Maken before both of them fell on near bed and had some good time being close together.
- Man, and I thought that we are the complicated ones. - Said Griffon, watching his and Ravenoid's brawlers fall asleep in bed, as two bakugans watch them from the distance.
- You're telling this to me of all people... - Replied Ravenoid, unamused by the comment.
- Come on bro, she isn't bad. You're surely a match to her. - Said Griffon, trying to back off from said words.
- At least you aren't used as a help while studying. - Scowled Ravenoid, continuing the conversation.
- Then better for you to know that I am. - Added Griffon with tired voice.
- Seriously? Why I haven't seen this even once? - Asked Ravenoid.
- Because you're so focused on helping and protecting Blake that you don't Look around for too much. It's easy to miss obvious things when being focused on details. - Answered him Griffon in voice full of wisdom.
- When did you stop being funny guy? - Asked again Ravenoid.
- Fly Beetle told me once when we were at one of latest group meetings. If you weren't always within a grab range from Blake them maybe you would know that bakugans tend to talk on table's or general background, stupid. - Said Griffon, giving him a tight look.
Sebastian pow:
- Glad to see you again. - I said to Chan, as she came back from hospital.
- Oh trust me, I am too. - She replied as she was done of being greeted by Emerald. - By the way, can we talk a bit? - She suddenly changed the topic.
- Sure, lead the way. - I added as we went to the living room.
- You know what? I'm going to hit the town, so don't think I'm watching you two. - Said to us Emi, going outside and closing the door, propably thinking that something personal was about to happen.
- Well, since we are here alone. - I began to show that I'm ready for a talk. - What's bothering you all of a sudden? - I asked right after to identify the problem.
- Well... Remember this night when we were fighting with the bad guys and I was trapped? - Asked me Chan.
- Yes, what about it? - I asked, looking for more precise answer.
- Emm... Why you got so angry while defending me all of a sudden? I mean, you're usually calm and cold, but then you went all out on them. - She said with worried face.
- I guess I didn't wanted my teammate to get hurt, y'know? - I replied with fake easygoing altitude to hide the fact that in reality I didn't really knew what to do about it.
Narrator pow:
- Fourtress? - Asked Fall Hydranoid to his brother in arms and atribute.
- Yes? - Replied four-armed warrior.
- Don't you think that our humans are a bit... Dorky when they are together? I mean, they both missing something here. - She added.
- Not really, and even if they are then it's fun to watch nothenless. - Replied warrior, as he turned back to the action. - O-ohh, what just happen? - He asked himself, as how he seen both brawler in sleep, one's head on eachother.
- You know, humans. - Added Hydranoid, almost bursting in laughter.
