Me: Hey guys, sorry about the wait…and future delay…
Not too long ago, I was admitted in the hospital and I just barely got out. They found three mass in my liver and not sure it's cancer or not. I'm waiting for the results and see what the surgeon will do afterwards…but there is a slight high that there will be a surgery to remove them… In my next update, I'll let you know what the doc decision will be.
Anyway, to those who reviewed: TheGemNara, pinkpanther6412, Leafeon12, Frwt, sadist, Tom The Dragon1987, Sayu and Crazy-chan – thank you all.
All: I'm glad everyone loves the fanfic so far…shall we continue? Can Dan be saved or Naga will finally become ruler of Vestroia and Earth?
Well, enjoy the chapter guys!
Just as the brawl was about to start, the area around them froze in time. Drago looked around to see Shun and the other brawlers frozen where they stood.
"What's going on?" asked Leo.
Before Drago could reply, a white bakugan appeared in front of them. The Pyrus dragonoid widened his eyes, "W-Wavern?!"
"We don't have much time Drago," said Wavern, seriously. "My brother's dark energy has gone stronger and Dan's remaining light is losing its fight against it."
"No!" said Drago. "Please Wavern try to protect Dan as long as you can until we beat Naga!"
Wavern shook her head, "I can only protect Dan's mind from Naga's dark energy…I cannot protect the fragment of the Perfect core much longer…you have to accept it now!"
"What?!" said Drago.
"But what will happen to the boy?" asked Leo.
"Dan will be slightly weak, but just enough to fight off the negative energy," replied Wavern.
"…alright, but I'm returning the fragment back to Dan once Naga is beaten," said Drago.
"I know you will," said Wavern as a small light ball appeared before them. "Both of you touch the fragment orb. This extra boost will allow you to match up against my brother."
"Me?" said Leo.
"Yes, you may be created from the dark dimension, but I can see you are different from the others," said Wavern, softly. "Get going! Beat my brother and save New Vestroia and Dan."
Drago and Leo nodded as they reached over to the small fragment of the Prefect core. The orb started to shine brightly, engulfing them as the others started to move again.
"What….What just – Drago!" said Shun. He saw the Pyrus dragonoid was surrounded by a fireball. Shun widened his eyes, "Is…are you…"
"Leo!" shouted Kai, watching his partner being surrounded by some darkness. The two dragonoid came out, looking different than before and stronger.
Drago appearance didn't change much minus having multi-wings and has diamonds along his body that looks like it can blind the opponents.
Leo took a similar appearance to a Neo Dragonoid; he has two large horns protruding from its muzzle, one smaller than the other, while two horns just off its eyebrows. Spikes run along his back and tail. Large claws on its three-fingered hands and two-toed feet.
"Leo…you – you evolved?!" said Kai in disbelief. He grinned, happily, "Alright! This is freaking awesome! Now we can match up against Naga! Get ready you bastard!"
"Even if your bakugans have evolved, you are no match against us," Sarafina sneered. She pointed towards them, "Let's finish this battle! Crush them Cruentus!"
"Go forth, Chaos Naga!" ordered Dan.
"Let's go – Neo Dragonoid Vortex!" said Shun.
"Battle! Standby, Omega Leonidas!" said Kai.
Dan and Sarafina vs. Shun and Kai
Naga: 620G, 70% and Cruentus: 500G, 100% vs. Drago: 650G, 80% and Leo: 640G, 100%
"I'll handle Sarafina, Shun, You take down Naga!" said Kai as Shun nodded. The older teen grinned, "Right, let's start this off strong partner! Ability card activate, Boosted Omega!"
"Let's get Dan back Drago! Ability card activate, Maximum Dragon!" ordered Shun.
Leo: 640G + 700 = 1340G
Naga: 620G – 500 = 120G while Drago: 650G + 500 = 1150G
Dan narrowed his eyes, "A waste if you ask me – ability card activate, Attribute Drain!"
"You're not going to win! Ability card activate, Dark Pressure!" countered Sarafina.
Leo: 1340G – 450 = 890G; Drago: 1150G – 400 = 750G
Naga: 120G + 450 + 400 = 120G + 850 = 970G
Cruentus: 500G + 600 = 1100G while Leo: 890G – 300 = 590G
"Not this time Naga – fusion ability, Dragon Contender!" said Shun.
"And don't think I'll allow you hurt Leo! Ability card activate, Devil Strike!" said Kai.
Drago: 750G + 600 = 1350G while Naga: 970G to 620G
Leo: 590G + 600 = 1190G while Cruentus: 1100G
"What! No!" shouted Naga as Drago attacked him. The white bakugan was slammed onto the ground as his percentage went down halfway.
Naga: 50% and Cruentus: 85% vs. Drago: 80% and Leo: 100%
"Naga! Get up!" snapped Dan before wincing. His dull eyes started to flicker back to his normal crimson-brown as Naga was slightly struggling to get up.
"You're going to pay for that!" hissed Sarafina as Cruentus step in front of Naga to protect him. "Fusion ability, Dark Underworld!" she commanded. "Take down that blasted dragonoid!"
Cruentus: 500G + 500 = 1000G while Drago: 650G to 0G
"With pleasure," hissed Cruentus as his body was surrounded by some dark aura along with Drago. He flew up on the air before charging down at him.
Shun was about to counter it when Kai step in.
"Your opponent is me Sarafina! Double ability, Devil Sythe and Omega Eraser!" counted Kai as Leo dashed in front of Drago.
Leo let out a massive dark energy slash towards Cruentus that engulf him, losing some of his G-power while Leo's G-power increased dramatically.
Cruentus: 1000G – 250 = 750G while Leo: 640G + 400 = 1040G
Naga and Cruentus: 50% vs. Drago: 80% and Leo: 100%
Dan covered his eyes while Sarafina screamed from the blast of Leo.
Dan was about to counter when felt a sharp pain through his head. The brunette holds onto his head, gritting his teeth, 'Get out…Get out of me…you don't belong…you're not me! Drago!'
Drago widened his eyes before looking over at Shun. "We need to finish this – now! I heard him call my name! He's fighting all his might, Shun."
"Then let's make this the final round," murmured Shun as Kai nodded. "Let's go! Fusion ability, Pyrus Slayer!"
"Ability card activate, Mega Blast!" ordered Kai.
Drago: 650G + 300 = 950G while Naga: 620G – 100 = 520G
Leo: 640G + 300 = 940G while Cruentus: 500G – 300 = 200G
"Try all you want Drago, but you will fail," snapped Naga, once again standing up. He laughed, "Face it. The boy you know is long gone! Just face defeat! Call out my powerful ability boy!"
Wincing a bit, Dan nodded but just as he was about to activate the fusion ability, his vision blurry and his head was starting to feel light once again. The brunette continues to hold onto his head as his eyes finally got back his shine.
"You're not going to win!" snapped Sarafina, slightly feeling daze. She holds onto her head, 'What…Why does my head feel funny?'
"Wha – No! My control; it's fainting away!" said Naga.
Shun watched as both attacks hit Naga and Cruentus. Both crashed down to the ground as dust clouded around them. He and the others covered their eyes to protect them from the dust. Once the cloudy dust disappears, the ball forms of Naga and Cruentus was lying on the ground and their percentage went down to zero.
Naga and Cruentus: 0% vs. Drago: 80% and Leo: 100%
"Alright! They did it!" cheered Runo and Julie.
"But…what about Dan and Sarafina?" wondered Toga.
Runo and the others looked over where Dan and Sarafina was standing to see them lying on the ground, unconscious. Runo gasped, "Dan!"
All of them ran over to their fallen friend.
Shun went over to check on Dan while Michael checked on Sarafina. The two placed their fingers upon their necks; they have a heartbeat. Both sigh in relief.
"They're fine, but just exhausted," explained Michael before frowning, "But Dan looks a bit paler than usual."
"That's because I need to give the fragment back to Dan," replied Drago, appearing behind them.
"Fragment?" said Eddie.
"We'll explain," said Marucho.
Drago and Leo focused on the piece of fragment of the Perfect core in their body and returned it back to Dan. Luckily, they stayed in their evolve forms.
Suddenly there was small whimper.
All of them turned around to see Sarafina waking up first. They watched her get up and looked around with a slight confuse look on her face. "Um…where are we? And where is that man that promised me he was going to adopt me?"
"Adopt you?" said Tartai. "You mean you're an orphan, Sara?"
"…I am," replied Sarafina, sadly. She bit her lip, "It's been four years that I've lost my family in a car accident. I was the only survivor in the crash and I was sent to an orphanage since I had no living relatives."
Runo and the girls felt slightly sorry for the teen.
Shun was about to say something when he felt Dan move since he was holding him. He looked down to see his best friend's eyes returned back to normal. Shun grinned, "Dan, are you alright?"
"…yea, sore but I'll live," replied Dan, tiredly. Slowly getting up and with Shun's help, the brunette was sitting on the ground and holding onto his head. "Man, I feel like I was hit by a truck. What happen?"
Marucho frowned, "You don't remember?"
Dan closed his eyes and crossed his arms, "Mm…all I remember is heading back home from school when – Naga! He came! I tried to run away, but he caught me and took me through a portal…but that's all I can remember. Everything afterwards is a blur."
"That makes sense," said Alice. "I was the same when I turned to Masquerade. It's the after effects of the dark energy that Naga used to control you."
"Control?" said Dan, frowning. "I was being controlled?"
"We all were," said Sarafina, softly. Tears fall down from her checks, "And it's my fault! I unknowingly brought back Naga back to life! Then, he and I gathered some teens to make a team to form before kidnapping you."
"So you helped him from the beginning?!" snapped Runo, leaning over to her face.
"I – I didn't know it was him! His spirit must have controlled a random person in order to get me," explained Sarafina. She gritted her teeth, "You don't know what is like to stay in that horrible orphanage where I live! I wanted to get away for four years!"
Alice pulled Runo away before looking over at Sarafina. She smiled, "We understand. You were being used and controlled so don't blame yourself."
"She's right," said Dan, getting help from Shun to stand. Runo was about to protest when Dan stopped her. The brunette sighed, "Those 'fake' memories…they were real memories about you and your little brother, correct?"
Sarafina nodded.
"You also blame yourself about the crash," said Dan, softly. "But there was nothing you can do. It was not your fault. It was that other person who was driving drunk that killed your parents and little brother, not you."
Sarafina couldn't hold onto her emotions and started sobbing. She was told from the caretaker that it was her fault that her family was gone and was selfish for being the only one that survived. The only person believed her was…
"Cruentus?"
"Right here my lady," said the darkus dragonoid.
"How long do you know Cruentus?" asked Dan as Drago turned to his ball form and settled onto the brunette's shoulder like old times. The brunette gave a warm smiled to his old partner.
"Mm…when the bakugan cards started to fall from the sky," replied Sarafina. "It was about a week or two when Cruentus started to talk to me. He was my only friend in the orphanage."
"Please forgive me for not protecting you, Sara," said Cruentus.
"Oh Cruentus," said Sarafina, hugging her small partner. "What would I do without you?"
"Let's just get out of here," said Runo. "I swear I can hear Dan's stomach from here."
"Well, try having a mad bakugan controlling you and see if you don't get hungry afterwards," joked Dan as his stomach growled. The other girls giggled while Shun and Marucho smirked a bit.
As they were heading out, a sudden bright light blind them. After the light dimmed, there in front of them was Naga in his evolve form and was glaring over at them.
"This is not over! Not until I get what I deserve!"
-Break Line-
