Me: ….'sigh'
Well, my kidneys are fine, but now it's my blood liver! A month back, I went to the ER where they found an unknown mass so I have been busy getting appointments with my GERD doctor to find out what it is. Also the back pain I have been getting are quite…well, it's to the point where I have to go back to the ER…once again. I have been there for almost three or four times once again…actually, I was close on to going back again last night as my pain was only on my right side but luckily I have an appointment with my prim-doc tomorrow (July 3) so hopefully she can help me…I just hope I don't end up at the ER in my birthday (July 7) as last year, I was bedridden with that blasted IV antibiotics treatment.
Anyway, I'm going to see if I can update some stories the best I could today as my internet connection is pretty good today – the past few days was horrible, that I couldn't even be online.
Now enough of my ranting, I would like to thank those who reviewed: pinkpanther6412, Frwt, BR, Guest (Jessica), Loli-sama and Roxita. Jessica, thanks for the idea…mm, I think about it and as for the Lego fanfic…sorry, I'm not much a fan with Lego movies or my friends but thanks for telling me.
Well then, enjoy the chapter guys!
After defeating Eddie and Jakul, the two teens regain control and agreed to help the brawlers to stop Naga. But there was one more controlled teen to deal with: Michael who was standing in the middle of the room and behind him was some large double doors.
"Nice of you to finally make it this far," smirked Michael. "But here is where I'm going to stop you. So, who's first?"
Shun was about to step forward when Kai stopped him.
"Shun, let me handle this guy," said Kai, looking over at Michael. "You guys have no time. I'll distract him while the rest of you go and find Naga."
"Are you sure?" asked Marucho.
Kai nodded, "Since Naga's control on the others, then his hold on Dan will be much stronger. You have to beat him before Naga's control fully takes over Dan's mind."
Shun and the others nodded before going over to the sidelines.
"There is a code that you need to open that double doors," whispered Eddie to Marucho. "I'll give it to you when Kai gives the signal to move out."
Marucho nodded.
"Payback time, Kai," said Michael.
"I – no, we've been dying to have a rematch with you Michael," said Kai.
"Brawl!"
Michael vs. Kai
Aura: 440G, 100% and Leo: 540G, 100%
"Let's go Leo! Ability card activate, Silent Night," ordered Kai. While Leo's G-power increased, Aura's decreased.
Leo: 540G + 100 = 640G and Aura: 440G – 100 = 340G
"I don't think so! Double ability, Radiant Sphere and Tornado Shine!" countered Michael.
Aura: 340G + 200 = 540G while Leo: 640G – 400 = 240G
"You really think I'm not prepared! Double ability, Devil Strike and Darkus Murder!" said Kai. The first ability absorbs Aura's last G-power boost and the other transferred a few of Aura's G-power to Leo.
Leo: 240G + 200 = 440G
And then, Aura: 540G – 140 = 400G while Leo: 440G + 140 = 580G
Leo's eyes glowed before grabbing Aura's feathered tail and throw her down to the ground. While Michael covered his eyes from the dust, Kai signaled the group to move to the double doors. Kai looked at the meter to see that he took a bit of percentage from Michael.
Aura: 80% vs. Leo: 100%
'I have to beat him…it's the only way for him to regain control, but if that happens, what will happen to Dan?' thought Kai.
"You think you have us beaten, brat!" snapped Michael. "Double ability, Windstorm and Lightning Storm! Try to dodge this!"
All around the room, sudden winds started to pick up before forming around Aura and lightning started to separate.
Leo: 540G – 200 = 340G
And then, Aura: 440G + 200 = 640G while Leo: 340G – 100 = 240G
Kai gritted his teeth, "Gate card activate, Darkus Reactor!"
The floor started to glow before forming around Leo where is G-power started to increase a bit. But sadly, it wasn't enough to stand Aura's G-power.
Leo: 240G + 300 = 540G while Aura: 640G
Aura slammed onto Leo's chest, slamming him onto the wall.
Aura: 80% vs. Leo: 90%
"Leo, are you alright?" asked Kai.
"Just peachy," said Leo as he was slowly getting up.
"Aw, how…pathetic," mocked Michael. "Let's hurry this up so I can – hey! Where's the Brawlers and the others?!"
Kai smirked, "You really think that I'm going to allow Naga slowly control Vestroia's light – I don't think so! Shun and the others are going to stop him!"
Michael gritted his teeth, "I can't believe I was fooled this easily – fusion ability, Radiant Tornado and Lightning Talon!"
'Damn, his fusion ability not just transfers some of Leo's G-power, but also doesn't allow my partner to move,' thought Kai, watching his bakugan's G-power decrease dramatically.
Leo: 540G – 400 = 140G while Aura: 440G + 400 = 840G
And then, Leo: 140G – 200 = 0G while Aura: 840G + 140G = 940G
"Let's see if you can escape from this!" shouted Michael.
Kai had his face down before looking up with a smirk on his face. "Oh, is that a challenge? Fine, I accept – ability card activate, Slave the Living! This round is a draw!"
Aura: 80% vs. Leo: 90%
"Why can't you accept defeat boy!" snapped Michael.
Kai shrugged, "I guess I'm just stubborn. Let' go – double ability, Devil and Darkus Triumph!"
Aura: 440G – 100 = 340G while Leo: 540G + 150 = 690G
"You're not going to win Kai! Double ability, Radian Sphere and Tornado Pandernonium!" ordered Michael, but it wasn't enough; just barely.
Aura: 340G + 200 = 540G + 100 = 640G and Leo: 690G
Aura: 75% vs. Leo: 90%
"You filthy – double ability, Misty Body and Lightning Storm!" said Michael. Suddenly, Aura disappeared in a mist and her g-power increased a bit while Leo's decreased.
Aura: 440G + 200 = 600G while Leo: 540G – 100 = 440G
Kai watched as his partner was hit from an unknown force before looking down to see his percentage going down quite a bit.
Aura: 75% vs. Leo: 65%
"Hey! There is no need to be a coward!" shouted Kai. He gritted his teeth, "That was low…ability card activate, Darkus Murder!"
Aura: 440G – 140 = 300G while Leo: 540G + 140 = 680G
Michael smirked, "So what? As long as I beat you, it doesn't matter what ability I use as long as I win! Ability card activate, Lightning Storm and fusion ability, Radiant Tornado!"
Aura: 300G + 200 = 500G while Leo: 680G – 100 = 580G
And then, Leo: 580G – 400 = 180G while Aura: 500G + 400 = 900G
"That's not going to stop me this time…double ability, Despair of Darkness and Devil Strike!" countered Kai. 'Even if Leo can't move, but his abilities can save him.'
Leo: 180G + (400 * 2) = 180G + 800 = 980G and Aura: 900G
Aura: 60% vs. Leo: 65%
"This is not over yet! Double ability, Radiant Sphere and Radiant Burst!" snapped Michael.
Aura: 440G + 200 + 100 = 440G + 300 = 740G
Kai sighed, "You're losing it, man…or could Naga's control is fainting away?"
"It's fainting. I can sense the negative energy slowly leaving his body," replied Leo.
"Good, then let's finish this then partner," said Kai as Leo nodded. "Let's go, double ability, Devil Sythe and Darkus Triumph!"
Aura: 740G/2 = 370G while Leo: 540G + 150 = 690G
Aura: 35% vs. Leo: 65%
"You really think I'm going to allow you to win!" said Michael as he made a creepy expression. He smirked, "You're friends is going to fail! Naga will get the Perfect Core and rule both worlds! Double ability, Tornado Shine and Windstorm!"
Kai winced a bit when the wind picked up again and a bright light surrounded Aura. He watched his partner's G-power go down dramatically again.
Leo: 540G – 400 = 140G – 200 = 0G
"This is the end, Kai!" shouted Michael.
Kai sighed, "…yea this is the end…gate card activate, Active Ghost!"
Meanwhile, Shun and the others were running to the end of the hall where it leads to a large stairway that leads to the top of the mountain. On top were Dan and Sarafina.
Beside them were Naga and Cruentus.
"You piece of crap!" snapped Jakul. "You don't go brainwashing and kidnapping people so you can fulfill your own desires!"
Naga laughed, "Like I care what you say, pathetic human. Once I beat Drago and absorb both fragment of the Perfect core and the rest from the Legendary Warriors – I will rule New Vestroia and Earth as the ultimate bakugan that ever lived!"
"That is not going to happen you creep," shouted Julie.
"That's right! We're going to defeat you before you do," shouted Alice.
"And save Dan…and Sarafina from your control," said Runo.
Sarafina smirked, "All I can say is try your best. The Danny you know is slowly fainting away."
Runo gritted her teeth and was about to step forward when Shun stopped her. She looked over to him with a confuse look, "Shun?"
"I'm going to battle him – alone! You and the others try to break Naga's hold from Dan," said Shun. He narrowed his eyes, "If that Sarafina is also controlled, we can't blame her of anything but save her as well."
"Are you sure you what to battle him on your own?" asked Tartai. With a worried look, "Even though we were being controlled, I saw everything in my trapped mind. I saw…I saw how much Naga trained with Dan…or rather…"
"The negative energy that was placed in him, correct?" said Alice as Tartai nodded. "His negative energy may be strong on Dan and Sarafina, but it gets weaken when Naga loses strength and energy."
Eddie frowned, "That means…"
"You have to beat him in a brawl in order to break his hold on Dan and Sarafina," finished Jakul. "Is there anything we can help you with?"
"No, but standby just in case I do lose," said Shun before walking towards the pair. He took out Skyress and Drago, "Are you ready you guys?"
The two bakugan nodded.
"Let's go then," Shun said determine, activating his Bakupad. "Let's go, Neo Dragonoid and Storm Skyress!"
"It's your funeral," Dan sneered. "Battle, Chaos Naga!"
"On the battlefield Cruentus!" shouted Sarafina.
Dan and Sarafina vs. Shun
Chaos Naga: 620G and Cruentus: 500G vs. Drago: 400G and Skyress: 450G
"Ability card activate, Bottom Zero," ordered Dan.
"Ability card activate, Dark Void," said Sarafina.
Naga: 620G while Drago: 400G – 300 = 100G
Cruentus: 500G while Skyress: 450G – 300 = 150G
"I don't this so – ability card activate, Storm Stinger!" countered Shun as it nullifies the abilities. "Follow by, Strike Dragon!"
Drago: 100G to 400G and Skyress: 150G to 450G
And then, Naga: 620G – 400 = 220G while Drago: 400G + 400 = 800G
Dan frowned, "Ability card activate, Darkus Riot!"
"Ability card activate, Dark Pressure!" countered Sarafina.
Naga: 220G + 500 = 720G while Drago: 800G to 400G
Cruentus: 500G + 600 = 1100G while Skyress: 450G – 300 = 150G
"Fusion abilities, Pyrus Slayer and Tornado Storm!" said Shun, gritting his teeth as he knows it wasn't enough for Skyress.
Drago: 400G + 300 = 700G while Naga: 720G – 100 = 620G
Skyress: 150G + 400 = 550G while Cruentus: 1100G – 300 = 800G
Shun watched as Drago was able to strike Naga to the ground while Skyress was hit with dark energy and was slammed onto the ground. He looked down to see that the percentage went pretty down on Skyress side, but he was able to bring down some of Naga's percentage.
Naga: 95% and Cruentus: 100% vs. Drago: 100% and Skyress: 75%
"Your friend needs to cause a lot more damage if he wants to get through Dan," stated Eddie. "Before, it's too late to save your friend."
"And he well, we know he will," Runo said determine. "We just need to find a way on how to make Dan snap out of Naga's control."
"Well, we could wait until Naga's percentage is down to 50%," suggested Alice. "Naga's hold on Dan should be weak by then."
"Alice is right. Naga will be more focus on defeating Drago that he will fail to notice the hold he has on Dan, weakening his control," said Hydra.
"Then we just have to wait," said Tartai.
"You think that will stop us Drago," said Naga. He laughed, "I have more power than you can possibly imagine! Show them boy!"
"Ability card activate, Attribute Drain," said Dan.
Drago: 400G – 400 = 0G and Skyress: 450G – 350G = 100G
Naga: 620G + 400 + 350 = 620 + 750 = 1370G
"You're not going to win Naga! Double ability, Maximum Dragon and Soar Green Destruction!" countered Shun.
Naga: 1370G – 500 = 870G while Drago: 0G + 500 = 500G
Skyress: 100G + 400 = 500G while Naga: 870G – 200 = 670G
"Not enough to stop my attack!" Naga grinned. Sarafina was about to activate an ability when Naga stopped her. "Stay out of this! This is my glory round, girl!" he snapped.
"Then do it," hissed Sarafina.
Shun covered his eyes as Naga's attack caused a gust of wind and he slammed both Drago and Skyress to the ground. Their percentage went down.
Naga: 95% and Cruentus: 100% vs. Drago: 80% and Skyress: 55%
"Are you alright, Skyress?" shouted Shun.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me Shun. Just worry about freeing Dan from Naga's control," replied Skyress, slowly getting from the ground.
"Drago?" said Shun.
"Perfectly fine," replied Drago as he let out a roar. "Naga! Nothing is going to stop me from saving Dan and stopping you from getting your hands on the Perfect core!"
Naga smirked, "Let's see you try Drago."
Shun gritted his teeth, "Double ability, Whirlwind Lightning Sword and Burning Tornado!"
Cruentus: 500G – 200 = 300G while Skyress: 450G + 200 = 650G
Naga: 620G – 200 = 420G while Drago: 400G + 200 = 600G
"Ability card activate, Chaos Barrier!" countered Dan, nullifying Drago and Skyress abilities.
Sarafina smirked, "Take down the little birdie, Cruentus – ability card activate, Hell Drain!"
Skyress: 450G – 500 = 0G while Cruentus: 500G + 500 = 1000G
Naga: 95% and Cruentus: 100% vs. Drago: 80% and Skyress: 0%
"Skyress!" shouted Shun, watching his partner return to her ball form and rolled over to him. He picked her up, "Get some rest. Drago and I will finish this…"
"Forgive me…Shun," said Skyress, tiredly.
Shun pocket Skyress into his pocket before gritting his teeth and looked over to see Dan with an evil smug look on his face. He clenched his hand, 'That's not you Dan. You're not evil. You're too good to become evil. Please, fight him Dan. Fight him! Show him you're not weak!'
"Aw, now you're all alone," mocked Sarafina before laughing. "Might as well give up boy or face the ultimate defeat."
"Say all you want," Drago glared, "But I am going to save Dan from the likes of you – Dan! If you can hear me, don't give up! Fight through the darkness partner!"
Dan's eyes turned slightly normal before turning dull again. The brunette smirked, "The partner you know is gone Dragonoid – he has no more fight in him anymore!"
Runo and the others gasp in shock.
Runo slide down to her knees, "No…No, i-it can't be true…y-you're lying! That idiot is not that type of person to give up that easily!"
"You're right."
Alice and the others turned to see Kai and Michael standing behind them.
"Michael, you're back to normal!" said Toga, happily.
"That I am," said Michael before looking over at Dan. He narrowed his eyes, "I can feel it…the negative energy slowly surrounding the remaining light that Dan has. There is still time."
"But…Shun can't face them alone," said Marucho. "He already lost Skyress. Drago can't fight Naga and Cruentus by himself."
"And who said he's going to fight alone – excuse me!" Kai smirked before jumping over to Shun's right. "Mind if I join in?"
"Go ahead. It doesn't make any difference," said Sarafina. "Both of you are going to lose, no matter what! Let's continue!"
"Show them no mercy, Naga," said Dan, darkly.
Naga smirked, "With pleasure, Daniel."
-Break Line-
Will Shun and Kai defeat Naga and save Dan? And is Dan truly lost? Fine out in the next chapter! (And I hope it doesn't take long to update)
