Me: Hey guys, hope you had a great Christmas and a happy new year!
Sorry for the late update. I was once again admitted in the hospital cause of an incurable infection they found in my system…like they did last year. I practically stayed at the hospital for about two weeks and went home with a picc line and IV antibiotics treatment for twelve days. I'm somewhat alright now, but I'm still recovering from lose of using my arm since I couldn't move it much with the picc line even though I was doing some exercises, but for some odd reason, when I had the picc line, it hurt like hell…as for the liver masses, it wasn't cancer so that's some good news, right?
Anyway, hope you had a wonderful year of 2018 and all you have an excellent year of 2019. To those who reviewed: Tom the Dragon1987, Frwt and guest – I thank you. Enjoy the new update!
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!"
Shun gritted his teeth before pushing Dan over to Michael. "Get him out of here, now! We will handle him!"
"Shun," started Dan as Michael agreed. The brunette winced, "I'm…not letting you deal with Naga alone, man!"
"Sorry Dan, but we cannot let Naga get a hold of you," said Marucho, seriously.
"That's right. Besides, you're in no state to brawl right now Dan," said Runo.
Dan was about to protest before getting lightheaded and dizzy. He had to lean onto Michael's shoulder in order to stop the dizziness. The brunette gritted his teeth, knowing what his friends were saying as true.
"Daniel…"
Dan slowly looked up to see Drago in front of his face.
"You have to go. I cannot bear to see you in such pain again…please partner."
Dan bit his lip, "…alright."
Naga roared, "He's not going anywhere! Not until I get the Perfect core! Chaos Shockwave!"
Shun, Michael, Marucho and Kai activated this partner's shield ability, increasing the barrier to endure the massive dark energy.
"Toga, take Dan and get out of here!" ordered Michael. "Tartai lead them out of the mountain while we deal with Naga."
"On it boss!" said the teen girls.
"Keep an eye on Dan girls," said Shun, not taking his eyes from Naga.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure nothing happens to my Danny," said Julie, getting near the brunette but Runo pulled her away when she saw that Dan was getting uncomfortable.
"Can we just go!" snapped Runo before the small group was leaving. That's when Alice noticed someone was not with them. She turned around to see Sarafina glaring at Naga, angrily.
"Are you coming Sarafina?" asked Alice.
Sarafina shook her head, "Go. I need to have a 'lovely' chat with that white bastard."
Alice nodded before running after with the others.
Naga glared at the remaining teens, "You? Deal with me?! Ha! Fine, I will finish you all off before dealing with Kuso…to think that boy had a piece of the Perfect core all this time…"
"That is not going to happen, Naga!" snapped Drago as he changed back to his normal form. "You have to go through me, first!"
"Then I'll grant you your death wish Drago," Naga sneered, "Once I destroy you, I'll go after the boy and take the last fragment of the Perfect core – then I'll be the ultimate ruler for humans and bakugan!"
"We'll see about that – Kai!" said Leo.
"On it – Mega Blast!" said Kai.
Leo led out a massive purple fireball towards Naga while the others used their own attacks. Preyas and Seren, on the other hand, were standing nearby the teens in case they had to use any of their shields to protect them.
Naga smirked, "You're just wasting your time – Chaos Barrier!"
A dark energy surrounded Naga and it absorbed all of the attack that was thrown at him. Naga chuckled, "Is that all you've got? Then allow me to show you what true power really is – Sanata of the End!"
Suddenly, multiple dark energy tentacles came out from the ground and grabbed hold onto Drago and the others before shocking them with dark energy.
"Cruentus – Shadow Daze!" Sarafina said quickly.
While being shocked, Cruentus' shadow headed towards Naga before surrounding him. The darkness blinded Naga, causing him to stop his attack and released the others from his hold.
"Drago, are you alright?" said Shun as Skyress jumped onto his shoulder.
"I'm fine," Drago winced as he was getting up, slowly.
"I never seen Naga used that attack," said Marucho.
"He was going to before losing control on Dan and I," said Sarafina before frowning, "But the one you should be careful is his new fusion ability. I'm not sure what it does when it's used outside of brawl, but in brawl, it can absorb all of his opponent's G-Power and destroys all gate cards on the field."
Shun narrowed his eyes, "Then we have to make sure he doesn't use it."
"We have to beat him quick," said Michael. "A sneak attack might work, but we need someone to distract him in order to do so."
Jakul smirked, "Distraction? You need one? Then you got one – Sara, if you would."
"Oh, of course – Cruentus, Hell's Gate!" said Sarafina.
"Waves of Flames!" said Jakul.
Underneath Naga, there was darkness forming around before getting a hold onto the white bakugan while a form of waves of fire surrounded him.
Naga roared, angrily, "You think this is going to stop me! None of your attacks cannot hurt me! Now – get out of my way! Attribute Drain!"
Both Cruentus and Edan felt weak and collapse onto their knees.
"I always hate that ability," murmured Edan as Cruentus agreed.
"You really think you can beat me with those pathetic attacks girl," said Naga as he extinguish the fire and break away from the darkness hold. "I am the darkness true master and your future ruler – obey me if you want to live somewhat decent."
"Like I take orders from a bastard like you – Hell Drain Cruentus!" shouted Sarafina.
"The same goes with me! Edan get as close as you can and use Prison Fang!" said Jakul.
As Cruentus was gathering his strength back, the Pyrus Nova Lion dashed over towards Naga. Edan tried to bite the white bakugan, but Naga dodged and used his tail to lift him up and throw him across the mountain top.
"Edan!" shouted Jakul, running over to his fallen partner.
Sarafina gritted his teeth, "Now Cruentus, Dark Underworld!"
Cruentus' eyes glowed bright red as underneath the ground started to shake and multiple of dark energy surrounded the darkus dragonoid. Cruentus let out a roar and the dark energy piled up into his mouth before releasing it as a massive dark fireball which headed towards Naga.
Naga smirked, "That attack…is nothing to me!"
The white bakugan simply dodged out of the way, but as he was about to unleash his attack, he winced as he felt one of Drago's attacks. He turned around to see Drago with the others behind him. Naga glared, "A sneak attack? How un-noble of you, Drago…but you think that you can beat me with just one attack of yours!"
Suddenly, Naga felt his feet cold. He looked down to see that his feet were freeze.
"Cold feet?" said Eddie. "Now, Seren – Torrential Whip!"
The Aquos Serpenoid unleashed a series of water whips that wrapped around Naga, pulling him down closer to the ground. "Now everyone!" Seren shouted.
"Dragon Clash!" shouted Drago.
"Tornado Storm!" shouted Skyress.
"Silent Night!" shouted Leo.
"Mist Aquos!" shouted Preyas.
"Radiant Tornado!" shouted Aura.
"Giant Waves!" shouted Seren.
"Dark Underworld!" shouted Cruentus.
"Cataclysmic Overheat!" shouted Edan.
Meanwhile, the girls while Toga was carrying Dan over her shoulders were leaving the base when they saw a white blur being smashed into the ground nearby. Quickly, Gorem and Lance used their bodies to protect the girls and Dan from the debris.
"What in the world?" said Julie.
"Was that…Naga?" asked Alice.
"I think so," said Tartai.
Runo smirked, "Looks like he got beaten up pretty good – serves him right!"
"Whatever. Let's just get out of here!" snapped Toga.
The girls used the sand as a cover in order to bypass Naga who was slowly getting up from the ground. The white bakugan gritted his teeth but as he was about to take flight, he spotted a few faint figures among the sand.
Naga narrowed his eyes as he sensed the power of the core among the figures. He smirked, "Do you really think you can hide from me, boy!" He unleashed one of his attacks towards the girls.
"Look out!" shouted Tigrerra.
Tartai and Julie turned around and quickly activated their partners shield ability, but Naga's attack was slight stronger and destroyed it with ease.
"Okay…that hurt," murmured Runo.
"Ah, look what he did to my hair! That creep is going to pay!" snapped Julie.
"Julie, forget about your hair! Where's Dan?" said Alice.
Tartai looked around for her sister and the brunette before spotting them not too far. She was about to run over to her sister's side when Naga appeared in front of them.
"And where to you think you are going?"
Tartai gritted her teeth, "Like I'm going to answer to you – Lance, Earth Power!"
"Pathetic," murmured Naga as the ground started to shake underneath him. He smirked, "Chaos Barrier!" He was soon surrounded by dark energy and was unharmed from the Wormquake's attack. "You call that an attack! Let me show you power girl – Silent Demise!"
The attack not only hit Lance but Tigrerra and Gorem while the girls were sent flying from the blast.
Slowly, Dan opened his eyes to see his friends and Tartai hurt on the ground. The brunette silently cursed and tried to get up but something got a hold of him. He was yanked from his feet and within seconds he was facing Naga face to face.
"How dare you hide something from me, Daniel?!" said Naga, darkly, "Something that I deserve, boy! But if you willingly hand it to me, I'll spare you. You're far more a better fighter than my previous partner…I can see why some bakugan are kin to find their partners…and I think I just found mine."
Dan gritted his teeth, "I'll never be your partner, you creep! And I'll never hand over the Perfect core to the likes of you! I'll protect it until my last breath!"
Naga sighed, "Just like my foolish sister. I didn't want to kill her, but she too kept the Infinity core from me and the only way for me to get it without killing her, if she willingly handed it to me…I hoped that you would…"
Dan widened his eyes with a slight fear in them.
"It looks like I have to get rid of you just like I did with my foolish sister," said Naga, tightening his hold onto Dan. He narrowed his eyes, "I'm going to enjoy seeing your life faint away boy."
Dan winced as he felt the tail crushing his bones. He hold his tongue as he didn't want to scream in front of Naga, but the brunette soon felt that one of his ribs was cracked.
"Dan!" shouted Tartai after recovering from the blast. She woke up the moment when Dan started to scream in pain. Tartai gritted her teeth, "Kiyo – Phoenix Cry!"
The Haos Phoenix transform to her true form before letting out a loud screech. Naga let out a painful roar as the screech was hurting his ears. Unknowingly, he let go of Dan and Tartai caught him.
"Why you – ah!" started Naga before getting hit from behind. He turned to see Drago and the others heading towards him. "No! I must get Daniel's fragment in order to finish you all off!"
Tartai widened her eyes before using her body to protect Dan. She closed her eyes, "Kiyo, Heaven's Barrier!"
The Haos bakugan got in front of them and created a shield around them. Naga smashed into the shield, determine to break the shield and get the core from the brunette.
"Oh, no you don't," said Drago. He slammed his body into Naga, causing the two of them to clash into a mountain wall.
Shun and the others dashed over to Tartai.
"Is Dan alright?" asked Marucho.
Tartai looked down to see the sides of the brunette's arms were slightly bruised and his breathing was a bit shallow. She frowned before lifting up his shirt to see that there was some bruising forming around his rib area. "He might have some cracked bones, but it looks like he's fine for now," she replied.
"He needs to get some help," said Kai, looking over at the bruised ribs. "There is a possibly that one of his ribs is broken or cracked and if it is, it can puncture his lung."
"…take him," said Shun.
"What?" said Kai.
"You said that your partner can create small portals when we first met, correct?" said Shun as Kai nodded, slowly. "Then take Dan to a hospital! We'll hold off Naga until you get back!"
Kai nodded but as he was about to pick up Dan, Runo stopped him. "Wait, shouldn't one of us go with Dan?"
"Runo does have a point. If it's alright, Runo and I can go with Dan," said Alice.
Shun and the others nodded as Kai told Leo to activate a portal since he did evolved, the portal should be more stable. Leo was able to create a portal to Alice's grandfather's lab where Alice can get help from her grandfather to call the ambulance.
With Dan save in harm's way and Alice and Runo with him, the others were now focus to beat Naga once and for all. Meanwhile, the moment Alice was in her grandfather's place, she dashed to find him while Runo was by Dan's side.
After an hour, a helicopter was heard and a group of paramedics came rushing into the lab. Alice and Runo stood next to Michael while the paramedics were placing Dan onto a gurney and place him into the helicopter.
Michael, Alice and Runo went with the paramedics.
At the hospital, Michael used the phone to call Dan's parents to let them know that their son was found while Runo and Alice waited at the waiting room.
"Do you think that the boys have beaten Naga?" asked Alice.
"I wouldn't worry girl. I know that they will beat that nasty creep," assured Runo then she crossed her arms, "But…everything will be different now."
"What do you mean?" asked Alice.
"Well, now that we know that Dan has a fragment of the Prefect core, what are the legendary warriors going to do?" asked Runo. "Will Dan have to live in New Vestroia or…"
Alice frowned, "…good question."
