Author pow:

Guest - Well, thank you for pointing out.

Using the ocassion, I would like to inform you that in incoming chapters coherence of some characters is going to be thrown out the window for sake of characters development (Before you ask, having timeskip in even not fully OC-centric story is VERY heplful to avoid explanations on changes in other characters personalities which you will see in this chapter as an example.).

But hey, at least here is new chapter.

Maken pow:

- You should be free to start from here and now, Mr. Maken. I have just finished paperwork necessary for your plan to activation. - Informed me message on my scroll from Ghira, signalizing green light for first stage of my plan.

- Let's see then if we can do the same. - I told to myself before rising my head from the screen to overview people who were already gatered around me. - Architect? - I asked the crowd, making checklist of necessary items.

- Here we are. - Said in response Volt, already assisted by some local specialists near the table with multiple blueprints left open on it.

- Great. Workers? - I aknowledged his response and went towards next part.

- Here we are! - Shouted Lync alongside mass of people, all of them prepared for hard work.

- Thanks for joining guys. Materials? - I went to next step.

- Over here! - Shouted Emerald, standing near already prepared piles and open-air storages of necessary items.

- Excellent, let's do this! - I ended with joyous ending, moving forwads to Sebastian who gave me his shovel and went with me to begin the project.

Blake pow:

- "Ruby, Weiss, Yang... Maken... Adam... So much questions, so Little answers." - I let my thoughts fall aparat, having a blur image of them all in my mind asking me accusive questions. - So, the construction works have just begun? - I asked Ravenoid while staring from lying position on my bed at the Sun which was shining its noon lightning, trying to absorb myself in something else that dark thoughts.

- From what I just heard downstairs, that's True my lady. - He replied to me and sat on my lap. - But I think you might want join them on the field works, right? - He asked me right after.

- Yes. No. I mean... I guess. - I tried to reasonably manage myself out of the situation. - On one hand, as a practical princess that is haunted by a terrorist group I shouldn't just go alone. But on the other one I really want to help them. This... Everything is partially my plan and effort too. - I said to him almost sobbing.

- Why do you want to help him so much? He can manage myself, has already a lot of people. - Now it was my mum turn to speak, since she came into my room to join.

- Ehh... Maken is everything Adam was for me when I joined White Fang. He really wants to make at least Menagerie safer and better place. And that makes me feel bad about being treated as special. - I explained myself, feeling too weak to be mad about others coming in without asking.

- Oh Blake, we already know thay you're one of those people who want to be the change in the world that they feel should happen. And Maken is too for sure. - Said to me mum, taking a seat right near me. - But perhabs he doesn't want you to be in construction work? You're not the person with strenght or endurance as your strong points, you know it yourself. - She added to me, making a cautious face. - But you can help him staying safe here, spending time with family you haven't seen in long time. He sure wants you to feel happy, even if he doesn't knows that. - She added, making a wide smile.

- You're not saying... - I mumbled under my breath, processing what she ment in the last part.

- I mean, she's not wrong my lady. - Now it was Ravenoid turn to torment my emotions. - The way he behaves about you is almost as if he wanted to be your own guardian angel. - He clarified his opinion, taking me by suprise.

- Huh? - I said with visible confusion.

- Maybe you accidently filled weak spot in his heart, so now he has thoughts like: This is my chance, I won't let this happen again or something else but similar to that. - Said to me mym before standing up. - Anyways, I have to go now. Have a good day my dear! - She said before exiting my room and closing the door.

- Oh god. - I said with exhaustion, staring at ceeling above me. - There was barely a single twenty-four hours and it feels so intense. - I said, losing part of grip on reality on the last part.

- I understand princess, I surely do. - Said my partner, not helping the situation. - But seriousley, wearing a white coat in tropical region? It doesn't have much usage unless you want to do something in night, judging by local temperatures. - He added from no reason.

- Just... Please stop. No more discussions for today. - I weakly said before falling asleep.

Narrator pow:

- So Menagerie is half an hour from here huh? - Asked herstelf a rhetorical question petite girl with tall bunny ears and wavy brown hair, wearing a tight bright brown knee-lenght sleeveless dress combined with pair of white low profiled sneakers and yellow bakugan gauntlet on her left arm. - At least the weather is good. - She said to herself before turning around to look at the sea. - I'm sure It will go without interrup- - Her monolouge was cut mid-sentence by sudden shaking of the boat, which maked her fall on her back.

- Waaah! - She screamed in panic, being forcefully slammed into the wall of the ship and then falling onto the floor.

- Well, well, well. If it wasn't my lucky day. - Said Runo, standing on top of her Haos Lasermann who aimed his cannons at the ship right before him. - No wonder Cinder doesn't want water only types of Grimm to exist. - She said with triumph, looking down on practucally defenceless boat.

Velvet pow:

- Ughh... I spoke too soon. - I pouted in pain, rising up and turning my head up to see who attacked the ship. - Tigrerra. You're ready? - I asked my partner who popped up on my shoulder.

- Of courde I am my darling. That's why I'm here. - She replied in combat ready tone.

- Then how about we settle it on nearest land like all non-Aquos brawlers should? - Asked me energetic bluenette on top of giant robot.

(Timeskip, around a minute or two later.)

Narrator pow:

- Gauntlet, power strike! - Both Velvet and Runo shouted, activating their gauntlets and creating the battlefield zone with people on attacked ship in role of observers.

- Gate card set! - Shouted Runo, taking the initiative and opening the game. - Bakugan brawl! Lasermann stand! - She followed right after with her robotic bakugan landing on still expanding gate card, where he opened himself to show his real size.

- She sounds keen to do it quick. Let's approach her slowly. - Said Tigrerra, giving her suggestion to Velvet.

- Sounds good to me. - Said bunny girl in response, taking said bakugan in hand. - Bakugan brawl! Tigrerra stand! - She shouted while making a throw from pirouette.

Velvet - 100%, Tigrerra - 400g

Runo - 100%, Lasermann - 400g

- Whoa!/This is going to be so cool./What type of Grimm is that!? - This and many other comments went amongst people on the ship, who were given first class seats to watch actual bakugan battle.

- You became the very thing you swore to destroy. - Said Tigrerra with angry roar as she stood on the battlefield.

- Not a problem for me you puny lion. - Frowned Runo in intolerant way. - Ability activate, Laser Punch! - She shouted while Lasermann fired a single salvo from his four cannons.

Tigrerra - 400g = 200g

Lasermann - 400g = 600g

- Not quite rude girl. - Said Velvet with calm voice while loading her ability card into gauntlet. - Ability card activate. Lightning Shield! - She shouted her command, upon which yellow bubble appeared around Tigrerra and absorbed the attack before disappearing.

Tigrerra - 200g = 400g

Lasermann - 600g = 400g

- Trying to avoid the fight huh? No use for you. - Scoffed Runo, taking two new ability card and loading them into the gauntlet. - Double ability activate! Laser Bombardment and Bunker Formation! - She shouted as cards glow yellow and Lasermann activated all his cannons at once before assembling into almost perftctly square cube, taking out four cannons from direction his opponent was on and continued fire.

Tigrerra - 400g = 100g

Lasermann - 400g = 700g

- Velvet? - Asked Tigrerra to her partner, while barrage of shots went right around her.

- I got this, it's time for my first ace. - Said now determined Velvet, taking out her ability card. - Ability card activate! Haos Freeze! - She shouted, as shining bolts of light fired by Lasermann freezed in space alongide bakugan they originated from, leaving the crowd on the ship even more speechless than already.

- Uh-uh! You're not the only clever one here kid! - Shouted very cross Runo, moving her left hand down and pointing down. - Gate card open! Forcment Wind! - She added in pompastic tone as Lasermann began glowing yellow very intensively and slowly shaking.

Lasermann - 700g = 1100g

- Oh, and thanks for more power stupid! - She added out of pure spite to her opponent.

- Okay Tigrerra, how about our second ace? - Velvet asked her bakugan, unintrested in provocative tactics of bluenette.

- Go for it please! - Replied Tigrerra before charging at Lasermann with high speed.

- It's no use- - Runo was about to continue her shenanigans, but was interrupted by her opponent.

- Ability card activate! Holographic Charge'n Targe! - She shouted at top of her lungs, activating yellow-blue holographic shield with a small spike at the middle to cover Tigrerra from eventual attacks.

Lasermann - 1100g = 400g

Tigrerra - 100g = 400g = 700g

- No more Ms. Nice girl kiddo! Ability card activate, Haos Tornado! - Shouted Runo, now making move on her own.

The high tube of yellow and white light came straight into the battle field, moving at the direction of charging bakugan but was reflected into the air, not causing much of a diffrence.

Lasermann - 400g = 600g

- Aaaah! What's this!? Why haven't I just blow you away? - Screamed Runo, now on full panic.

- It's complicated but in the end simple. - Said Velvet, showing off to tease her while Tigrerra rammen Lasermann back into the ball form. - This ability card not only reduces opponent's power to base level but in addition it moves Tigrerra power level by adding the diffrence between her base power level and present one to newly set base power level. - She explained, catching her returning bakugan in hand. - Oh, and it cancels opponent's next attack against her. - She quickly added to furious bluenette.

Runo - 100% = 80%

- Still willing to harass innocent civilians or still eager to fight? - Asked Velvet with tough tone.

- You're no scary bunny head! Come at me - Answered her question Runo, still ready to get what she wanted.

- Fine then, gate card set! - Said faunus girl with disappointment in her voice,as she throw her card onto the field.

- Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand! - Both girls shouted, throwing her bakugan on the ground between them and starting the second round.

Tigrerra - 400g

Hynoid - 350g

- "Hold on. Did she just throwed weaker bakugan into battle? Lucky me that I still can check if it's a bait." - Little warrior from Vale thought as she moved her arms sideways. - Gate card open! Haos Reactor! - She added in hughlynpitched voice, clapping her hands to match the ground going haywire from ammount of white on it.

Tigrerra - 400g = 700g

Hynoid - 350g = 650g

- You really going out with this one? Thansk again! - Shouted Runo, being pleased with what she concidered a bad move. - Bakugan brawl! Griffon stand! - She added right after, throwing another of her pupils to the battle.

(Hynoid = 650g, Griffon - 300g = 600g) - 950g = 1250g

- Well then, it's time for destructive matters! - Said Velvet with sudden rise of engagement as she loaded in her gaunlet new ability card. - Ability activate! Cut in Slayer! - She said right after, as Tigrerra teleported behind her opponents and sliced them both, and then fastly turning back to her default starting place.

(Hynoid - 650g = 600g, Griffon - 600g = 500g) - 1250g = 1100g

Runo - 80% = 50%

- As good as down! - Roared white tiger in triumph, seeing her opponents desorientated by sudden hit and run tactic.

- Now what? - Asked Runo, slowly getting furious.

- Easy there young lady. - Said Velvet, shrugging off her arms. - It's just diffrence in direct power levels being doubled and something else than g-power being taken, what's there to be angry? - She asked, teasing her with calm expression.

- Double ability activate! Haos Boost plus Griffon Scream! - Shouted Runo, having her patience limit reach critical levels. At her command, both bakugans began glowing in white and yellow stripes while Griffon in addition fired a sound based projectile at their opponent.

(Hynoid - 600g = 800g, - Griffon - 500g = 700g = 900g) - 1100g = 1700g

- She has advantage of one thousand. - Said to herself Velvet with slightly nervous tone.

- Let's catch up to them a little and see what happens. - Suggested Tigrerra, seeing Her opponents power go skywards.

- Fine to me. - Girl replied shortly, taking two ability cards. - Double ability activate, Crystal Fang plus Solar Armor! - Proclaimed Velvet, as activate cards have results in Tirgerra's claws glowing neon white and her corpse being covered in multiple emitated textures for protection.

Tigrerra - 700g = 900g = 1300g

- Oh no. Not enough fun for you? - Asked Runo in sarcastic tone, unaware of her opponent skill. - Double ability card activate! Haos Tornado plus Flashlight Dash! - She shoutes as her bakugans were covered in spirals of light and ran forward to attack.

Tigrerra - 1300g = 1100g

(Hynoid - 800g = 1000g = 1200g, Griffon - 900g = 1100g = 1300g) - 1700g = 2500g

- Miss? - Asked in raised voice Tigrerra, taking as defensive fighting stance as Cat can do.

- Ability card activate, Last Hope Speedblast! - Shouted bunny girl, activating said card in her gauntlet.

- You're all fauled here! - Roared Tigrerra before going to the right and avoiding both attacks, then striking back at break neck velocity and jumping away again, causing confusion of observers.

Tigrerra - 1100g = 2200g

(Hynoid - 1200g = 800g, Griffon - 1300g = 900g) - 2500g = 1700g

- WHAT! How! - Screamed in panic Runo, finally out of denial towards her opponent skill level.

- This is what happens when you overextend. - Said Velvet with a confident smile, looking down at both Griffon and Hynoid being defeated and returning under Runo's feet. - This move may not allow me to take defeated bakugans in such way as any other ability, but last hope is for survivors, not robbers. - She added in mentor tone, earning wide applause from observing crowd, as she catched Tigrerra back in hand. - Now surrender yourself, you don't have anything to prove your leader. - She said to her with hands taken out, now with battlefield disappeared and time moving in normal way.

- No, thank you. - Pouted Runo, picking her bakugans from the ground. - She has already actually important work to do and you just gave me much needed warm up. - She continued, clicking few buttons on her gauntlet screen. - Thank for nothing, punk! - She shouted at the end,as she was teleported from the place to whatever she came from.

- "At leats civilians are safe." - Velvet thought as she turned around with sąd face and came back towards the ship. - "But at least I know how to handle you now, Misaki..."
