Chapter 15: Liberation of New Vestroia
Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know that it's been a while, but hey, I've been as busy as heck for a long time, okay? Anyway, before I find myself ranting, I'll just move onto the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or Bakugan. I also do not own Jack Vense. He belongs to Storyteller222.
Enjoy!
We all rode our Bakugan up to the palace while Leo and Lunar were guarding the tank. I really didn't want to risk changing the timeline, period.
"Prince Hydron thinks he's safe in his sky palace." Said Ace
"But he's not as long as Tigerra and the others are his prisoners." Said Baron
"I've seen them. They've been turned into bronze statues in his throne room." Said Mira
"That's horrible. We've got to free them!" exclaimed Marucho
"We will Marucho! We'll free them all!" exclaimed Shun
"They're really gonna regret messing with us, big time!" I exclaimed
"No one messes with our friends and think they can get away with it." Said Dawn
"Especially if your friends are part of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers." Said Jack
"Hang on guys, we're coming! And this time, nothing's gonna stop us!" exclaimed Dan
Just as we were about to reach the palace, our Bakugan turned back into spheres! If it wasn't for Shun's quick thinking and my own, Marucho, Mira, Dawn, and Jack would've hit the ground hard.
"You two got us, but who's got them?" asked Marucho
"That's an answer I really want to find out." I said
"But that was weird. How did you guys suddenly turn back into spheres?" asked Jack
"Yeah. Didn't we destroy all the dimension controllers?" asked Elfin
"Well it looks like the prince kept one in reserve." Said Shun
"It seems the young prince is trickier than we thought." Said Ingram
"I just hope the others are okay." Said Mira
"They're okay. Drago won't let them down." Said Wilda
"I guess so." Said Mira
"Wilda's right." Said Jack
"Ya think?" asked Mira
"Dan's been in worse spots than this." Said Jack
More so in the future.
"Right now, we need to continue with the mission." I said
*Commercial Break*
Sakura: The battle's just begun.
Dawn: Let's hope we can do this. Let's free the Bakugan!
*End Commercial Break*
After a long elevator ride, we finally made it.
"So this is Prince Hydron's throne room?" asked Dawn
"We'll have to be careful. He could show up at any moment." Said Shun
Mira then walked up to the throne.
"One of these buttons should do it." Said Mira
She entered a code, and we saw Preyas, Skyress, Tigerra, Gorem, and Hydranoid all as statues!
"Preyas!" exclaimed Marucho
"Skyress!" exclaimed Shun
"Like them? I already know how Mira feels about them." The boy who just appeared said
"Prince Hydron!" exclaimed Mira
"That's Hydron?!" exclaimed Dawn
"I imagined him creepier looking, not as a kid." I said
He was obviously ticked off at my comment.
"Haven't you humans ever heard of knocking? I would've expected better manners, especially from Professor Clay's daughter. Now get out, before I decide to punish you for trespassing on my collection." Said Hydron
"On your collection?" asked Jack
"That's right. These five warrior Bakugan are one of a kind, and I only need one more to complete the set, but you fools keep interfering with my plans! You won't stop me from taking the Dragonoid." Said Hydron
"You're a monster." Said Marucho
"What's that?" asked Hydron
"You took Preyas, the best friend I ever had and you treated him like a thing." Said Marucho
"Even worse than a thing." Said Elfin
"That's right." Said Mira
"And I'm… going to make you pay for that!" Marucho exclaimed as he ran for Hydron
"Marucho!" exclaimed Mira
"Nice tantrum." Said Hydron
Before he reached Hydron, he was about to be attacked by some kind of energy whip. I pulled out Lightsworn Barrier to protect him, no thanks to Mylene.
"Mylene." Said Shun
"No one attacks a Vestal prince of the realm." Said Mylene
"I don't need help." Said Hydron
"Come with me your highness." Said Mylene
"What did you say? You can't tell me what to do!" exclaimed Hydron
"Come back here coward!" exclaimed Marucho
"Calm down. This is for your own good." Said Mylene
Talk about getting away. I then deactivated my duel disk.
"Hmph, those two deserve each other." Said Elfin
"Don't even think about them. The time has come, to free our friends, the Bakugan!" exclaimed Shun
"That's right. This is what we've been fighting for." Said Mira
"It's all worth it." Said Marucho
Mira and I then worked on finding the reverse switch, or at least finding the switch to find the reverse switch.
"What do you think? Will we be able to free Preyas and the others?" asked Marucho
"We'll see." Said Mira
We finally managed to find it.
"Nice job." Said Shun
"Yeah, but do you have any idea how to work this thing?" asked Marucho
"I think we have to activate the biological maintenance system to reverse the process that turned the Bakugan into bronze statues." Said Mira
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's boot this baby up!" exclaimed Marucho
"Yeah, one problem with that, it's not that simple. We need a passcode, or in other terms, the right sequence of keys in order to activate it." I said
"There are a lot of keys. Oh boy." Said Marucho
"Look at all that data. The combinations are endless." Said Ingram
"You've gotta be kidding. Ugh, we'll never be able to figure this out. It's impossible." Said Elfin
I then noticed that Marucho was crying, and that one of his tears hit Elfin on the head.
"*Gasp*! What was that? Huh?" wondered Elfin
"I thought… I finally found you Preyas, and now you're gone. I'm sorry I was too late." Said Marucho
"Argh! That's it! I can't stand to see you cry Marucho. You're gonna short out the console!" exclaimed Elfin
"What are you doing?" asked Marucho
"What does it look like? I'm trying every combination of numbers on this board. If you wanna see Preyas, help me push the buttons!" exclaimed Elfin
"Thank you Elfin. You're gonna make me cry again. Make room. I'm getting in there." Said Marucho
"Better yet, get the number one hacker of New Domino City." Said Dawn
"And who might that be?" asked Shun
"Me. I once cracked into Industrial Illusion's computer and lead them to an internet café and they never caught me." I said
"Whoa! You probably had to get past a lot of firewalls." Said Marucho
"20 of them to be precise, and a bunch of fake firewalls. If I hit one of those, I would've had to destroy my computer." I said
I hooked the computer up to my gauntlet, and began to work.
"Come on everybody! We can do this!" exclaimed Wilda
"Skyress, Preyas, Hydra, Tigerra, and Gorem. Hang on you guys, we're coming." Said Shun
"Come on! Faster!" exclaimed Ingram
The Bakugan were helping me out by getting parts of the code, but I still didn't have the complete combination.
"I know this is a great aerobic workout and all, but… maybe hitting random buttons isn't the best way to do this." Said Elfin
"We can't give up now." Said Ingram
"Who's giving up?" asked Elfin
"And I've almost got the code. I'm gonna need another two minutes before I can get it." I said
A shaking and the sound of battle caught me off guard, causing me to look behind myself, and that's when I saw Drago and Helios!
"Drago!" exclaimed Mira
"Look out!" exclaimed Elfin
"They're heading for the palace." Said Marucho
"Hurry it up Sakura!" exclaimed Jack
"I'm the best hacker in New Domino City, not the world! Almost there." I said
A sudden shaking threw me off my feet.
"Get me off this ride!" exclaimed Elfin
"No way! Elfin, you did it!" I exclaimed
"I'm so brilliant!" exclaimed Elfin
"Yes you are!" exclaimed Ingram
"Victory! Well done!" exclaimed Wilda
"Finally. Our lucky break." Said Shun
"You'll be back to normal soon Preyas." Said Marucho
The palace then had another shake rock the place before some red lights began to flash.
"Auto self-destruct system activated. Please evacuate immediately." Said an automated voice
"We can't leave! The conversation isn't done!" exclaimed Elfin
"What's taking so long?" asked Wilda
"We have to get the brawlers out of here." Said Ingram
"We're not leaving." Said Mira
"Yeah, but…" started Jack
"No ifs, ands, or buts! We can't leave them behind!" I exclaimed
"We're running out of time. We have to get out of here." Said Mira
"No way! Not without me, I'm not leaving. No." said Marucho
"Marucho!" exclaimed Elfin
"I need to free Preyas and the others!" exclaimed Marucho
Dawn, Jack, Mira and I had to jump out of the way of some incoming debris.
"Mira! Jack! Dawn! Sakura!" exclaimed Shun
"Mira, are you okay?" asked Wilda
"I think so." Said Mira
"You guys go on ahead. Don't worry, we'll finish up here." Said Shun
Then the system began to short circuit. This wasn't looking good.
"The system is breaking apart Ingram. Skyress!" exclaimed Shun
The bronze was cracking apart.
"You can do it Preyas! Finish the transformation on your own!" exclaimed Marucho
This place was falling apart like my uncle's bad cooking! Marucho almost fell down until he was saved by… Aquos Preyas?! They did it!
"Hey, nice of you to drop in pal." Said Preyas
"Preyas, it's you!" exclaimed Marucho
"Hey Skyress!" exclaimed Shun
"Shun! I knew you'd come!" exclaimed Skyress
"This means one thing." Said Twilight
"The final dimension controller must've been destroyed." Said Sunrise
"Right." I said
"I didn't think I'd ever see you again Shun." Said Skyress
"Yeah, me too." Said Shun
"Auto self-destruct system activated. Countdown to detonation commencing. Please evacuate immediately." Said an automated voice
"Yipes! We almost forgot about that!" I exclaimed
"Ah! Can we do the reunion thing later?!" exclaimed Preyas
"This palace is collapsing." Said Gorem
"We all have to leave right now." Said Tigerra
"I will carry those who can't fly." Said Hydranoid
"Then let's hurry and make a break for it." I said
We then rode on our respective Bakugan and flew toward Ace and Baron. Looks like they got the message.
"Hey there." Said Elfin
"Not so fast!" Preyas exclaimed while grabbing onto Hydranoid's tail
"Mira!" exclaimed Ace
"Hi Ace!" exclaimed Mira
"Looks like everybody made it out okay." Said Nemus
"Tigerra, Gorem, Hydranoid, Skyress, Preyas! I think I'm gonna cry." Said Baron
He was about to burst into tears until he almost fell off Nemus.
"I said hang on." Said Nemus
That earned a good laugh, until I realized something.
"Hold it! Where's Dan?" asked Mira
"He's not here?" asked Marucho
"He must be still battling." Said Shun
"Oh no." said Mira
We then watched the palace explode, with Dan still left behind with Drago! Not good.
"Dan!" exclaimed Mira
"Mira." Said Wilda
"Look!" exclaimed Preyas
"It's Drago." Said Gorem
"Yeah! Way to go Draggy baby!" exclaimed Preyas
"Dan!" Mira exclaimed as she jumped onto Drago in order to hug Dan
The sun was setting here in New Vestroia. All the Bakugan seemed to be happy now that they weren't restrained to ball form anymore.
"Now this is more like it." Said Dan
"Sure is." Said Mira
"I still can't believe we actually did it." Said Dawn
"This is what we fought for guys, peace in New Vestroia." Said Dan
"Yes, but the battle's not over yet. We have to go back home to Vestal." Said Mira
"But if everyone knows that the Bakugan are intelligent now, can't the Vestals stay?" asked Dan
"Yes, as long as we respect each other and abide by the rules, the Bakugan and the Vestals can live together in peace." Said Drago
"Thank you Drago, but I don't think it's as easy as all that." Said Mira
"Prince Hydron and the Vexos might have gone back, but won't be gone for long. They'll wanna take back New Vestroia." said Ace
"That's why we're heading back to Vestal to spread the word and stop the Vexos cold." said Baron
"We'll bring them to justice for enslaving the Bakugan and taking the planet, but we can't do it without Wilda and the others. Can they come with us Drago?" asked Mira
"Of course, if that is what they wish." said Drago
"I will go with you Mira. Anywhere." said Wilda
"And someone has to keep Baron out of trouble." said Nemus
"I'll go too Drago. It has been an honor." said Percival
"The honor is mine." said Drago
"We never did settle the question of which of us is mightier. Until we meet again then." said Percival
"I'll be waiting Percival." said Drago
It looked like Alpha City was gaining lift upwards, like a hot air balloon.
"Check it out." said Marucho
"Alpha City, New Vestroia must be heading home, so we should get going too." said Mira
Ace and Shun then shook hands.
"See you soon Shun." said Ace
"Catch you later." said Shun
"Master Marucho, Master Jack, I'm gonna miss you two." said Baron
"Yeah, we're gonna miss you too." said Marucho
"Yeah." said Jack
"Same to you Dan. I will never forget brawling at your side." said Mira
"Me too Mira. Good luck." said Dan
"Say hi to Runo." Mira said while winking
Looks like Beta City is about to gain liftoff.
"Looks like your ride's taking off." said Dan
"Okay, time to go! Bye everyone! Take care!" exclaimed Mira
"Master Dan, don't forget me!" exclaimed Baron
"Fly safe!" exclaimed Elfin
"Does Vestal have e-mail?" asked Marucho
"Well, that's that. Guess it's time to make ourselves scarce too. Hey Drago, can the Bakugan come back with us?" asked Dan
"Of course they can." said Drago
"Yeah! That means Marucho and I can party on Planet Earth!" exclaimed Elfin
"As if! Marucho and I are best buds!" exclaimed Preyas
"That's old news. Marucho's outgrown you." said Elfin
"You're jealous 'coz I'm Marucho's official Bakugan partner. Look it up on Snickerpedia. You're just a temporary substitute Elfin. Got it?" asked Preyas
"That is so not true! I'm Marucho's partner! Deal with it fish breath!" exclaimed Elfin
"Why don't you just deal with it big ears!" exclaimed Preyas
"I'm Marucho's partner now!" exclaimed Elfin
"No, I'm Marucho's partner!" exclaimed Preyas
"Hey! Come on you two!" exclaimed Marucho
"Huh?" wondered Preyas
"Can't we all just get along? You can both be my partner." said Marucho
"Runo was very worried about you. You should go to her Tigerra." said Drago
"I am eager to see Julie." said Gorem
"I could see..." started Hydranoid's first head
"Alice." said Hydranoid's second head
"Again." finished Hydranoid's third head
"Great! It looks like the whole gang is going back to Earth! Right Shun? Huh?" wondered Dan
"You're not coming Skyress?" asked Shun
"Oh Shun, I am part of your past. Ingram is part of your future." said Skyress
"Skyress..." started Shun
"You have grown so much. I can't leave my home again. Ingram, take care of my Shun." said Skyress
"I will Skyress." said Ingram
"You'll be fine without me Shun. I will always be watching over you in my heart, but it's time to say good-bye, and thank you!" exclaimed Skyress
"Wait Skyress!" exclaimed Shun
"Okay, almost all of us are going back then." said Dan
"I guess you're right." said Marucho
"Alright Drago? We're leaving. Bye buddy." said Dan
"Give my regards to Runo and the others." said Drago
"I don't understand. Aren't you coming with us Drago?" asked Marucho
"I'm sorry, but he can't leave New Vestroia." I said solemnly
"What do you mean?!" exclaimed Jack
"Drago's a part of the Perfect Core of New Vestroia, which is what keeps New Vestroia stable." said Dawn
"Dawn is right. I'm afraid I can never leave New Vestroia again Marucho, Jack." said Drago
"That's not entirely correct Drago." said Apollonir
"Apollonir?!" exclaimed Drago
We looked to the sky, and saw the six ancient warriors of New Vestroia.
"The six ancient warrior Bakugan." said Drago
"Drago, a Bakugan evolves through battle. You have become even more strong than before, strong enough to separate yourself from the Perfect Core at last." said Apollonir
"Separate? But how?" asked Drago
"The Perfect Core would stay here and you would keep only a spark with you to maintain your link. You have become nearly as powerful as the perfect core itself Drago, powerful enough to do almost anything." said Apollonir
"Then, I could go to Earth with Dan?" asked Drago
"Yes Drago. It would make no sense to keep you in New Vestroia. You have earned the right to live wherever you wish." said Apollonir
"Ha! Awesome! Drago, we're going home!" exclaimed Dan
"You bet partner." said Drago
"You can travel between worlds whenever you want. You now have the power to open the dimensional gate yourself Drago." said Apollonir
"Really? Alright then. Let's go home." Said Drago
"That is seriously cool Drago!" exclaimed Jack
"Let's ride!" exclaimed Dan
We entered through the portal first, but I saw that Leo and Lunar made it through, just in time. We all got back to Earth, but we decided to give Runo and Dan some privacy first before we entered.
"Shun! Jack! Marucho! Sakura! Dawn!" exclaimed Runo
"The Battle Brawlers are back together!" exclaimed Marucho
"Good to see you Runo." Said Shun
"Hey Runo! Gorem's back! Okay… so everyone's back. Well… in that case, oh yeah!" exclaimed Julie
"Good to have the old team back together Dan!" exclaimed Drago
"You got it. Friends forever Drago." Said Dan
"Bakugan, Brawl!" Everyone, including us, exclaimed in unison
"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Dan
*Preview*
Sakura: Hey there, Sakura here.
Dawn: And Dawn as well. We finally got a break after we saved New Vestroia
Sakura: But this is only the calm before the storm. Jack's gone missing, and Dawn and I both know why. He's about to become our enemy, Dark Mask.
Dawn: I still can't believe he'd go to the Vexos. If that wasn't crazy enough, King Zenoheld, the leader of the Vestals wants revenge for what we did.
Sakura: Plus, he wants the attribute energies from the Six Ancient Warriors of New Vestroia and some more, like Crimson Dragon more! Can we handle this new enemy and this new threat of the Bakugan Termination System? Let's find out.
Sakura and Dawn: Bakugan, Brawl!
Dawn: See you soon Brawlers
*End Preview*
Done and done! Whew, this one really took me a while, but I finally finished! Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
