Chapter 2: Facing Ace

Hey everyone! What's up? It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I know that I have an update problem. There, I said it! I know! But hey, when your core classes are AP U.S. History, Honors Precalculus, AP English Language and Composition, and Honors Physics, things tend to get heavy on the homework, so it's not my fault, well, completely that is. Anyhow, it's enough of the rambling, let's do the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or Bakugan. I also don't own Jack Vense. Credit goes to Storyteller222

Enjoy!

"So let me get this straight, the Bakugan Brawler Resistance has some members who are Vestals like those Mylene and Shadow characters?" I asked

"They may be Vestals, but they're nothing like them." Said Jack

"So you're saying that the Vestals were like us when we first met the Bakugan?" asked Dawn

"I suppose that's one way to put it. But it's not easy, the Vexos are stronger than you think. Volt Luster is the top Haos Brawler. Gus Grav is the top Subterra Brawler, but he's a weasel. The old lady, Mylene Farrow is the leading Aquos Brawler, but she's devious, so watch your back around her. Lync Volan is the top Ventus Brawler, and he'll do anything to win. The brat, Shadow Prove is the top Darkus Brawler, he may be brutal and cruel, but he's crazy in the head. Finally, there's Spectra Phantom, the top Pyrus Brawler. The six Vexos are champions of all six Bakugan Attributes. They are pretty strong." Said Jack

"They must have you guys on the ropes, but I handled them no sweat." I said

"Yeah, I noticed that too. Tell me, was that your first time brawling someone of their caliber?" asked Jack

"No, I've faced tougher actually. But it was my first time brawling with Twilight." I said

"It's true." Said Twilight

"I see. Hey, that's the resistance headquarters coming up." Said Jack

Dawn held onto me for dear life. I didn't blame her. Who knew that Jack was such a bad driver. When we got back to the future, I'm going to give him driving lessons. I held onto the sides of his motorbike for dear life as well, I didn't want to become road kill.

"Welcome back!" called out a guy with purple hair

He apparently didn't see that Jack was a bit of a poor driver, so he had to get out of the way before he hit the brakes.

"Hey Baron." Said Jack

"Master Jack! You're back!" exclaimed Baron

"Back up a minute. Did he just call you 'master'?" I asked

"What? You mean you've never heard of him? He's a Bakugan Brawling Master!" exclaimed Baron

"Actually, we have heard of him, but well, let's just say that my sister here was confused about what you were saying." Said Dawn

"That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Why don't we move onto the introductions. My name is Sakura, and this is my twin sister, Dawn." I said

"Pleasure to meet you." Said Dawn

"These are our guardian Bakugan, Twilight Dragonoid, and Sunrise Dragonoid." I said

"Nice to meet you." Said Twilight

"It's an honor to meet someone who fights to free the Bakugan." Said Sunrise

"Hey Jack!" exclaimed a familiar male voice

I then saw Dan and Marucho run out of their base, followed by a girl with short orange hair.

"Welcome back Jack!" exclaimed Marucho

"Great to see ya buddy!" exclaimed Dan

"Thanks guys. I'd like you to meet Sakura and Dawn. They were in the area when I saw the old lady and the brat." Said Jack

"Nice to meet you. I'm…" started Dan

"Dan Kuso, leader of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. And you're Choji Marukura, but you prefer to be called Marucho. I know all about you guys. You're the Bakugan Battle Brawlers." I said

"That's us." said Dan

"So, you guys are human I see. My name's Mira. It's nice to meet you." Said Mira

"You as well Mira." I said

"So, where's Ace?" asked Jack

"He said that he had something to take care of." Said Baron

"Up here." Said a male voice

I turned my head to look, and I saw a boy with green hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a purple outfit.

"Ace." Said Jack

"So sorry to interrupt your introductions." Ace said in a sarcastic tone

"What's your problem?" I asked

"Get it together Ace, we got company!" exclaimed Mira

"Yeah! Smarten up!" exclaimed Baron

"Well those girls can go back to where they came from. We don't need their help. We can free the Bakugan alone." Said Ace

"Ace! Listen, Sakura managed to use a Gauntlet in no time flat! She even managed to pull off a combination ability! She's…" started Jack

"Listen to yourself Jack. Just because they're humans, doesn't mean that they're something, even if Sakura managed to pull off a combination ability in her first brawl in New Vestroia." Said Ace

"Watch it you! There's nothing I hate seeing more than the Bakugan in trouble! They need all the help they can get, and I'm not going to turn a blind eye to those Bakugan in need!" I exclaimed

"Well said." Said Sunrise

"You can say that again." Said Dawn

"Too bad. We don't need any of your help to rescue all of the captured Bakugan. This is none of your business, so take your friend and go home!" exclaimed Ace

"No way Jose!" I exclaimed

"She's right. In order to free the Bakugan, we need all the help we can get. We don't have time for one of your ego trips." Said Mira

"Just humor me. The human should prove herself. What do you say girl?" asked Ace as he held up a Darkus Bakugan

So he's a Darkus Brawler. This should be interesting.

"Come on! We don't have time for this!" I exclaimed

"Beat Percival, and you can join the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance." Said Ace

"*Sigh* I can't get out of this one, can I? Twilight." I said

"I'm up for it." Said Twilight

"Okay Ace, we'll take you on!" I exclaimed

Commercial Break: Dawn: Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Sakura: It's time to prove ourselves Twilight!

We were now standing in the middle of one of the deserts on New Vestroia.

"Why are those two battling each other? They should be on the same side." Said Baron

"She's actually not the type to give up without a fight, but I know that look anywhere. Sakura looks like she's trying to solve a puzzle, and Ace is the puzzle she needs to solve." Said Dawn

"Now, remember this. When the Bakugan Brawler Resistance battle the Vexos, we're not playing a childish game." Said Ace

"Yeah, I get it. Let me guess. When the difference between G-Powers is over 500, the Bakugan which you are trying to save go over to us at the end of the battle, thus winning one battle, but not the war." I said

"How'd you know that?" asked Ace

"Just call it a women's intuition." I said

"Well, now that you get the idea, I guess that we should increase the stakes. If my power level goes over 500 G's, I get your Dragonoid." Said Ace

"Fine, but the same case scenario applies to me, then I get your Percival." I said

"Agreed." Said Ace

"But be warned, I haven't lost a single brawl in my life." I said

"You're lying." Said Ace

"I have a notebook where I calculate my brawling stats. Too bad I don't have it on me right now." I said

'Gauntlet Activated'

"Gauntlet Power Strike!" Ace and I exclaimed in unison

Ace Life-Force 100 Percent

Sakura Life-Force 100 Percent

"Ladies First. Gate Card, Set!" I exclaimed

"Now let's see what you got." Said Ace

"You asked for it." I said

"Bakugan, Brawl!" Ace and I exclaimed in unison

Our Bakugan hit each other dead-on, then gone to their separate sides of the field.

"Bakugan, Stand!" Ace and I exclaimed in unison

Percival emerged in a purple tornado while Twilight emerged in the yellow and black tornado I saw earlier. Percival was knocked to the ground

"Percival!" exclaimed Ace

"If this is going to be a contest of brute strength, then I'm not impressed. Just look at how high my G-Power level is." Said Twilight

Darkus Percival G-Power 450

Haos Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 500

Ace Life-force 90 percent

"Lucky shot. Gate Card, Set!" exclaimed Ace

"Gate Card Open! Darkus Reactor!" exclaimed Ace

"Shouldn't have done that." Said Dawn

"Twilight, quickly! Use an attribute change before the Gate Card takes effect!" I exclaimed

"I'm on it!" exclaimed Twilight

"Attribute Change! Darkus!" I exclaimed

Darkus Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 850

Darkus Percival G-Power 600

"What the?" exclaimed Percival

"Let's try this!" exclaimed Ace

Ace Life-Force 60 percent

"Ready to give up yet?" asked Twilight as she reverted back into her ball form

"As if!" exclaimed Ace

"Yeah, well, you might have to think again. You haven't even touched my life meter. This should be a piece of cake. Gate Card, Set! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Let's hit it hard Twilight!" I exclaimed

"Right!" exclaimed Twilight

"Let's finish this Percival." Said Ace

"Once and for all!" exclaimed Percival

"I'll show you power. Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" exclaimed Ace

"Percival. I… I can't believe we lost." Said Ace

"Ace. That was an awesome battle! It's been a while since someone's kept me on my toes like that. You're a great brawler." I said

"Thanks. So are you. I have to admit, it looks like you are Bakugan Brawler Resistance material." Said Ace

"Well, it looks like we have two new members." Said Mira

Later…

"Dimension controllers? What's that?" I wondered out loud

"There are three dimensions, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Their power changed the Bakugan back into balls." Said Mira

"So, maybe if we destroy the controller systems, then the Bakugan can go back to what they were." I said

"It's worth trying. Battling Vexos will only get us so far. We need to hit them where it really, really hurts. That's why we gotta wipe out all three controllers." Said Ace

"But each of the dimension controllers are in the center of a city." Said Baron

"So, that means we have to hit the enemy in his lair. What do you think Sakura?" asked Mira

"I'd say, let's do it! The Vexos won't know what hit them!" I exclaimed

"When it comes to the Bakugan, I must agree with you Sakura." Said Dawn

"Now that's the stuff." Said Mira

"I'm in!" exclaimed Baron

"Gotta love a girl who doesn't over think things." Said Ace

"What's that supposed to mean, huh?" I exclaimed

"Just saying." Said Ace

"Brace yourselves everyone, we're taking off." Said Baron

Just then, the base began to shake.

"What the? An earthquake?" exclaimed Dawn

"Next stop, Alpha!" exclaimed Baron

"Holy cow, don't tell me, this place can move?" I asked dumbfounded

"Just relax, this base turns into a tank." Said Mira

"Whoa." Said Dawn

"So cool. If only they made Duel Runners like this." I said

"Duel Runners?" asked Ace

"I think I've heard of them. They're a special kind of motorcycle on Earth that allows people called Turbo Duelists to drive while playing Duel Monsters. Sakura, you aren't by any chance a Turbo Duelist, are you?" asked Jack

"Guilty as charged." I said

"That is awesome! I've never met a Turbo Duelist before! Maybe you can show me a few pointers. I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to a deck." Said Dan

"I'll think about it." I said

"If you guys are done talking, I think you'll like our technology. Even someone as slow as Dan can operate it." Said Ace

I took a look at the controls, and I have to admit, I was impressed.

"Awesome! This just keeps getting better!" I exclaimed

But little did I know, this was only the beginning of both mine and Dawn's crazy adventure through time.

*Preview*

Sakura: After settling down a bit in New Vestroia, I still have to get used to the fact that Dawn and I are from the future, a future in which, Dan, Marucho, Jack, and Shun are a part of. Speaking of Shun, where the heck could he be? Before that was answered, Gus Grav of the Vexos showed up and challenged Dan to a brawl! I wonder what's going to happen with this. You definitely don't want to miss this one Brawlers! Bakugan, Brawl! Be there, or be square.

Done and done! Whew, it's a good thing that I have a three-day weekend this weekend, otherwise, I may not have the chance to catch up on writing these fanfics. Anyhow, please review, check out my poll, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
