Author pow:
Since I still can't see any new reviews since 3 December, (To compare, I'm writing this chapter on 8 December.) there is no review responses this time, since I don't have anything to respond to.
Also, here is new chapter:
Maken pow:
- Ehhh, I'm just glad we are already halfway through the journey. This is getting reeealy boring sometimes. - I said with a slow yawn, watching space in front of us as we were flying above the waters of endless ocean at the southern part of Remnant in orderly fashion (Me with Volt on Griffon at the front of the group, Sebastian with Chan Lee on Fall Hydranoid behin us on the right, Emerald with Lync on Fly Beetle behind us on the left.).
- I got to agree on this one, some of use are... bored... - Said to me Volt with hesitance, propably seeing something disturbing. - Why did Emerald gave Lync the Thunder Summon gate card? We were supposed to grant it to him after we landed in Menagerie. - He added in somewhat accusive voice.
- I know you have a lot of other ability cards you will give us over time as we will trust eachother even more than now. Also, Emerald is a great person and I'm sure she knows how to handle him, trust me. - I said, ensuring that tensions within my team are low. - Can't say the same about me... - I added to myself, going back to watching over the horizon with cloudless orange sky caused by Sun going down as it always does in late afternoon.
- Still disappointed about leaving Blake behind when you ran away from Beacon? - Asked me Volt, hitting me in my weak spot: Self-doubt.
- You said it. - I replied slowly, making a loud sigh. - I mean, look at this from my way. My fighting style relies on me ending battle as quickly as possible. That includes both normalna combat and brawling. When I was fighting Weiss I got too cocky and paid the price when the second girl showed up, forcing me to retreat and become fugitive. - I explained my fighting style to Haos brawler with analytical tone. - But the worst part is the fact I knew about it for a whole time and haven't done anything to change that. In other words, I failed one time too much. - I ended my speech with a sudden lowering of my tone to show how much this issue ment to me.
- So, you devaluate yourself because of the fact you couldn't defeat one or two huntsmans in training. - Said Volt, making a step to the left. - I think I get it now. - He added with warm smile, making me snicker in response.
- Hey, guys. I think we have a situatuon down there on the right side. - Interrupted us Griffon, making me look down and see lone ship being attacked bySea Feilong who seemed to be winning the fight so far.
- Hand tight Volt, ability activate! - I quickly reacted, shouting to alert everyone about my plans. - Flamethrower Breath! - I added, as Griffon closed his mouth and filled it with fire.
- ROAAAAAR! - He roared, sending stream of fire at unexoecting Grimm, burning it in instant, which maked us spotted by people onboard, clearly suprised by our arrival.
- Okay team, legs up and bakugan back in hand! - I strictly ordered my team using gained momentum to look as effective as I should while all six of us landed on the front of the boat, with me, Seb and Emerald taking our bakugans back to ball form.
- Maken? - Asked me familiar voice before me, being the closest thing near me in the moment. And when I rised my head to check who said it, I was hit hard in the feelings.
It was Blake, dressed a bit diffrent but still Blake.
- Blake? Oh my god are you allright? - I Asked her in instance, doing what most people would do if they met their friend right after they were fighting.
- Yes, I am, just a small hit in left arm, nothing that stays for long. - She replied to me, trying to keep cool face while rest of the squad came back. - Glad to see you all to. - She added with suprise, seeing rest of the squad come closer to her.
- Volt, Emerald, Lync. Go talk with locthe captain. He surely has some questions about people who stuffed Grimm into ball and use them as slaves, after that you are free. - I said to respective group with a small joke at the end. - Sebastian and Chan, for you two, go socialize with passangers and explain the same to them, after that you also have free time. - I added right after. - And Blake, can we talk a bit? - I asked the most urgent for me matter at this point. - We might have some things to tell eachother.
(Timeskip, early night, same day)
- So let me guess, you're going back home to deal with the issues you currently have right now? - I asked Blake as we were talking at the side of the ship, with rising moon on the background, comletley alone.
- Close enough. I actually wanted to sort some things out and think them over. - She added, making eye contact with me.
- And no place is better for it than your own home, Menagerie. - I added with cautious smile, trying to not offend her.
- You do know everything about me, don't you. - She added with a kind smile. - But why are you guys going the same way? - She asked after a while.
- Oh, you know. I would lie if I did it only for you. - I began to explain myself from my route towards Menagerie, looking for right way to talk over my plan with her. - You know that bakugans are not only superior to Grimm but also still a secret unknown to wider public knowledge? - I asked her right at the start.
- Yes. - She replied after short while to think about it.
- So my plan is to make bakugans a public knowledge on Menagerie and use them to fight off Grimm and make Remnant a better place to live. - I snapped and recitated while formula that I had prepared for no reason.
- ...What? - Asked Blake, comletley taken off the ground by my response.
- What. You. Heard. - I slowly said to her, giving strong accent to all three words I said. - In order to defeat the Grimm we need to end with huntsmans who more often than not have problem while dealing with single Grimm and switch onto WMD's that preety often turn out to be their user's greatest friends or family members. - I said with passion of every overglorified reformator while Blake watched me with mixed expression of passion, fear and astonishment. - Speaking of which. - I added, taking out her Ravenoid and pirple gauntlet. - You need these two my dear friend. - I switched main theme of discussion for a while, handing her over two mentioned things.
- Glad to see you again Ravenoid. - Said Blake to her partner, while mounting her gauntlet on the left arm.
- Me too my lady, me too. - Replied Ravenoid, landing on her right shoulder.
- So... - I awkwardly said, all of a sudden taking Blake in a hug. - Are we back as good friends? - I asked, making myself overprotective for a while.
- Yes we are, don't worry. - She replied to me, making her own hug on me for whatever reason she had. - And yes, I can talk positively to my dad about your plans as long as they are not stupid ot bad in my opinion. - She added, lowering her head to my chest.
Sebastian pow:
- You see these two Seb? - Chan Lee asjed me, as we were watching from the safe distance Maken and Blake have a close moment.
- Yes i do, what about it? - I asjed her in response, unintrested in other people personal lifes.
- How about we have our own? - She asked me, catching my left arm and sticking to it, face all covered in pink blush.
- Heheh, you got me there girl, you got me there. - I answered her with a "really?" face expression to her, ready for whatever was next.
Lync pow:
- Open sea during night time really is something else. - I told myself while watching the endkess water with reflection of moon on it.
- I didn't know you are into poetry. - Suddenly said to me Emerald from behind, as she came to me.
- O-ohh E-Emerald! What are you doing here? - I stutter while asking her.
- Nothing special, just watch the sea go by and maybe relax. - She said, standing near the balcony and crossing her hands on it.
- I see... So what now? - I asked, trying to make for myself way out from this situation.
- We can just chit chat if you won't mind it. - She said, propablu seeing my problem.
- Sure thing! You can go first. - I snickered a bit, now relaxed in my mind.
Volt pow:
- Hmm... Now what? - I asked myself, upon reading informations about Sun Wukong joining team CFVY because of their incompletence after peaceful deal with Vale's police. - "Seems like Velvet Scarlatina broke free and now Goes to Menagerie. I guess she got inspired by Tigrera and wants to go be independent on edge of the Remnant." But it will be someone's else job to convince her about joining us." - I thought, looking over news feeds and other informations, not always public and sometimes even restricted as secret. - "But we do are Lucky for having Emerald and Lync as a duo..."
