Author's review response section:

StrategicChamp: Thank you for pointing out, now I have to write the response in subsections again. (No offense please):

1 - Salem affecting the ability cards? Great concept but I'll pass. For as much as I know from the show Salem indeed can take over humans with Grimm (More accuratly: cover them with it and control as theoretically more powerful Grimm) and in this fic, also the bakugans. But then again, in RWBY people controlled by Grimm are just... Grimm. Stronger, bigger, faster, etc., but still a Grimm. And so are bakugans. Therefore the changes to ability cards won't happen because Grimm doesn't have them in the first place. (You can't change the nothingness.)

2 - Mistakes in writing. (I assume you mean this one.) I guess you have a point, I had to rush last chapter because I still faul at time management plus school. But now I will put more care into writing and tilt the "Quality : Quantity" ratio to favor the first one, just don't expect new chapters every one and half week of two. (Good writing takes time, you know?)

P.S. - I did minor adjustments to previous chapter, so it should be little bit better quality-wise now.

Guest: Tanks mate! Glad you like it.

And now, the new chapter.


Narrator pow:

- Now that we're finished with standing still and approving our next steps, any thoughts afterwards? - Maken asked Blake as they had a pleasant walk on the sunny streets of Kuo Kuana, enjoying the specific feeling of peace and eachother's company.

- Hmm... Actually, I have one. - Blake responded, correcting her coat. - I never thought I'd say it, but I need to learn about... Rulership, especially since now you made me an actual princess. - She added, looking forward at the crowded streets, usual sight for every big town in a rush hour.

- You want to be a good ruler? In that case I'll help you. - Maken smiled, patting her on the back in supportive manner. - I did my homework and now I'll give you my notes, sounds fair? - He asked her, cheeky smile painted on his face.

- Fine by me. - Blake replied, nodding in acknowledgement.

- In that case let's begin. - Maken smiled, looking around and seeing some intrested faces within the crowd, because come on, people obviously are intrested in life of royal family when there is such in their country. - The first thing to know about being a ruler is that you aren't immortal or objectively the best to do so. You won't be a ruler forever and you can be replaced if things go in a bad direction for too long in at least one small department. Therefore, it is important to not only avoid situation where you are irreplacable but also to keep people under you rule happy. Or at least not less happier then three people that ruled before you. - He explained, striking a quick 'V' with his fingers to random press reporter on the left.

- You made up the thing with three rulers, did you? - Blake aksed him, somewhat confused at this part.

- No. He estimated it. - Griffon responded, him and Ravenoid listening to the lecture from shoulders of their respective brawlers.

- This leads me to the second point. Which is that you cannot do everything on your own. - Maken smiled firmly, using the ocassion to present his point. - Ruling over the country demands more and more people you trust in some intangable way to ensure your orders and will in places you can't be yourself, the number of those increasing as the country gets larger and it's population grows. - He continued his part, waving his hand to random camera operator in top of somebody's chalet.

- You already taught me this, so I won't mind. - Blake responded, learning towards Maken and hugging his arm.

- Glad to hear it. And since we're at it, let me tell the third point. - He responded, moving his own arm to embrace her around the waist. - Also, remember to balance all of your emotions, feelings and traits to be as much of a leader as you can. Common folk who gets payed below national average loves it and will stay behind you against all odds in return.

- So I need to avoid daydreaming, have trusted people where I need them and look for compromise when necessary? - Blake asked, trying to get his formula memorized.

- In a nutshell, yes. But that's just basics upon which more things will be added over time, you'll get used to it. - Maken responded, looking forward towards the beach, behind whom water began to take a weirdly dark colour. - And I think we have a duty to do right now. - He added grabbing Griffon from his shoulder and clenching his hand with him into fist.

- Agreed, let's go there. - Blake said, doing similar thing with her Ravenoid before they run towards theit point of intrest.


Shun pow:

- Mhm, I'm ready. - I told to myself as I checked all needed things and jumped from the cliff towards the city, planning to head towards Haven Academy next.

- You sure you won't inform the others? That's bold even for you. - Skyress asked him, sitting in his pocket while he manouverd between streets and tight alleways to avoid unnecessary notice.

- Doing it alone helps me with avoiding recognition, making too much of a noise with group assault won't work in a middle of a city. Headmaster Lionheart might be on the bad side of the conflict, but he still has high position within Mistral's political system. - I opposed, bringing in my logic agrumentation. - This means that he can call Cinder's crew and local authorities alike. And with house rented to our group by Lionheart himself, doing it loudly has no chance of success in the mid-term. Silent steal is just safer option. - I added, returning to the point I made in the beginning.

- Seems legitimate, let us proceed then. - Skyress responded after a while, to which I nod in response before speeding up to have some time for scouting the outsides of the building.


Narrator pow:

- Oh, new enemies! I was just about to run out of those! - Maken laughed as she stood on top of Griffon's back, busy with repedeately reloading and shooting his modified dumpster-orginated rocket launcher at hordes of Sea Grimm, turning them into a black slush on the water surface.

- Yup, he's done with a warm-up. - Ravenoid commented, breaking the spine of random Lancer with a precisely aimed knee.

- Sounds good. - Blake responded, taking her Gambol Shroud and opening fire at other Lancers who took their sights at them. - But we need-! - She was about to continue, but was interrupted by shout from below her.

- Ability card activate! Fire Tornado! - Maken shouted, activating his ability as the vacuum of fire appeared around Griffon, burning the Grimm and forcing it to gain distance. - Blake! Double Diagonal Relation ability please! - He added, calling his teammate above him for the support.

- On it! - She quickly responded, taking the requested ability card and loading it into her gauntlet.

- Ability card activate! Diagonal correkation of Pyrus and Darkus! - Both Maken and Blake shouted in unision, activating their cards in the same moment, causing their bakugans to skyrocket in terms of power.

- Why so serious? This still can be their scouts. - Griffon asked, suspicious about the approach of his brawler.

- That's the point pal! If they see what our duo can do, they'll be less keen to attack us for enough time to have us prepared for our own attack. - Maken responded to his guardian, looking upwards to see Ravenoid smashing his opponents one after another while Blake allowed herself to get a target practise. - Now let's go and use our power down below. - He added, pointing towards the water surface where a group of Sea Feilongs decided to make joint approach against them.

- Roger that! - Griffon responded joyously, accumulating all his power at the front in a form resembling a shockwave before flying down to fight his new enemies.


Emerald pow:

- Remember the plan Lync, no fighting unless they go first. - I reminded to Lync our directives as we had a flight on our bakugans towards south. - Since we proclaimed ourselves as kingdom all other political constructs have went into disarray...

-... And claimed their current elits too weak to defend Faunus rights in any way. - Lync eneded my thought, petting his Falconeer. - I do understand that we're given the task of inspecting central midwest of this island, but I don't know the deeper purpouse. I mean, there isn't anyone in here so... - He paused, propably feeling my doubtful face expression.

- The deserts of Menagerie are supposingly filled with resources. It's just that we are the team assisted to location that is... Here. - I responded, pointing towards the Bear-vertical cave that looked like a leftover hole from extensive drilling.

- Hmm... The hole is surely big... We're checking if there is something valuable? - Lync asked me again, carefully looking over the surface of this obscure and natural place.

- More or less, but we still do it in a best way we can. - Fly Beetle responded, giving his own part to the conversation.

- Fair enough, now let's get down there. - Lync agreed, diving head-on into the Cave with Emerald following right after him.


Volt pow:

- So this is the ship you're building? - Adam asked me, as our duo plus Velvet, Sebastian and Chan looked from the nearby hill at the dockside in which a leading safetu project was taking place.

- Yes, yes it is. - I responded, looking down below at the ship's hull, to which worker were going back and forth with equipment and ammunition. - But is it really? Only time will tell...


Author pow:

Hi guys! I'm here to inform you that next chapter arrives on 25th June. No later, no earlier.

I mean, I have a bit of a burnout on the RWBY and Bakugan fics as a whole and need to move up with other projects.

Cheers and all other generic good words!
