Chapter 18: Graceful Arrival
Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know, I've been AWOL since my last update, but don't fret, I'll be updating more often while I still have the chance! School starts in less than two weeks for me, but more time will be on my hands thanks to my schedule. Anyways, disclaimer time.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or Bakugan. I also do not own Jack Vense. He belongs to Storyteller222. Finally, I do not own Grace or the Bakugan she uses. They belong to my boyfriend Detroid434.
Enjoy!
Baron and Ace wanted to check out this girl group that was supposedly the top thing on Vestal when the screen went all static, and Spectra was on the screen!
"Greeting citizens. I am Spectra. I'm sure many of you remember me as the leader of the Vexos. It's true. I was the leader of the Vexos, but that is no longer so. Like you, I was deceived by the royal family. King Zenoheld and Prince Hydron are planning to conquer all nations across every dimension. When I learned of their plan to build a new, evil empire, I could no longer be part of the Vexos. They branded me a traitor, but I don't care." Said Spectra
"Ha! Can you believe the nerve of this guy taking over the air waves with his lies?" asked Ace
"Spectra's putting on a good performance, but I just know he's up to something rotten." Said Dan
"Keith, why?" asked Mira
"Vestal is in danger, from the evil King Zenoheld!" exclaimed Spectra
Man, talk about a walking headache. I hope Klaus brought some tea to calm down the one that's forming in my head.
"I remember something Keith said to me. He said 'once I create my ultimate Bakugan warrior, I will overthrow the royal family and take Vestal. Anyone in my way will be destroyed'." Said Mira
"Yeah, but that was before we had the powers of the six ancients." Said Dan
"We beat them once. It sounds like he's turning his attention to overthrowing Zenoheld and the Vexos now." Said Ace
"Maybe, but we can't be sure it all isn't part of his larger plan. In the beginning, my brother infiltrated the royal family because he suspected that Zenoheld was lying to the people of Vestal. Once Keith learned the truth about the Bakugan, something inside of him changed. He became obsessed with capturing the perfect core energy to be used to create his ultimate Bakugan, and then rule the world. With that, Spectra was born." Said Mira
"So now we must be on guard for attacks from two enemies! Zenoheld and the Vexos, who are after the Pyrus energy attribute, and now Spectra, who wants the perfect core energy." Said Drago
"Gee Drago, you sure are Mr. Popular!" exclaimed Elfin
"There's no humor in this Elfin." Said Drago
"Doesn't matter. Anyone who challenges us is the enemy. No matter what they're after, they're gonna have to fight us to get it. Bad news for them is, they're gonna lose." Said Dan
"Uh, Klaus, I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but do you have a gym in this palace of yours?" I asked
"Yeah, why?" asked Klaus
"I need to vent some steam." I said
"Very well. Go down this hall, make a right, then to the end of that hall, make a left, and it'll be the third door on the right." Said Klaus
"Thanks." I said
I found my way into the gym, and set up some equipment that I would need, meaning a punching bag and some boxing gloves. I began punching the bag, while thinking about what's happened lately, but mainly, I was worried about Twilight, and losing the power she was entrusted with. Can I really brawl now?
"Brawlers! I need you in the transmission room!" exclaimed Klaus
And that was enough for the punching bag to punch me. This was gonna hurt in the morning. I hurried to the transmission room after I threw off the gloves and put on my top after I pulled off the tank top I was wearing.
"Someone's sending a message from Marucho's house." Said Klaus
"But there isn't anyone at my house right now." Said Marucho
"Maybe it's an intruder." Said Elfin
Klaus told us to be quiet as Alice appeared on the screen. Phew, that's a close one.
"Marucho, I'm so sorry to barge in like this, but I have no choice. Something horrible has happened, and I need warn you." Said Alice
"Calm down Alice. Tell us what happened." Said Dan
"Just now, the Vexos attacked Hydranoid and I." said Alice
"What?! Why would the Vexos attack Earth?!" exclaimed Dan
"This is bad." Said Drago
"It makes no sense. Why would Zenoheld send someone there to brawl when we're all here on Vestal with the attribute energies they want?" asked Ace
"Has anyone heard from Shun on New Vestroia yet?" asked Baron
"Maybe this is another trap." Said Mira
"Another?" asked Dan
"First New Vestroia, then Earth. Zenoheld is trying to lure us." Said Mira
"Or, they had no choice. What if they couldn't get to Vestal? If a soldier can't take a battle to the battlefield, they'd go to another location that would work to their advantage, right?" I asked
"I think you're both right." Said Klaus
"The Vexos will be back. I just know it. Runo and Julie could be in danger." Said Alice
"Oh… stinkin' Vexos!" exclaimed Dan
"They got us running around like a bunch of headless chickens!" exclaimed Ace
"Always one step ahead." Said Baron
"That was so wrong to attack Alice when they know she doesn't brawl anymore. Those creeps need to be taught some manners.
"I agree with you Marucho. They're nothing more than swine whom need to be corralled back into their pen." Said Klaus
"We've gotta go back to Earth! Trap or no trap, we can't leave Runo and Julie hanging like that!" exclaimed Dan
"Yeah." Said Ace
"We're right behind you!" exclaimed Baron
"You're kidding me! You mean there's no way we can transport ourselves back to Earth?!" exclaimed Dan
"Alice said Dr. Michael's laboratory was mostly destroyed in her battle with Shadow Prove." Said Mira
"Oh man." Said Marucho
"Can't believe it. What are we gonna do now?" asked Dan
"Calm down Dan. For every problem, there is a solution." Said Drago
"Drago's right. There has to be a way we can figure this out." Said Ace
I just sat there thinking. For every problem, there is a solution, but what can we do? I can't teleport us all to Earth. I tried that for a trip from Gundalia to Neathia after teaming up with Lumagrowl, and learned the hard way that I could only teleport to places in the same dimension, plus if I tried, I'd probably end up killing myself from all the stress my brain would be going through.
"What's this? Why is no one eating their afternoon snack? You're gonna need it for strength for all the brawling ahead." Said Klaus
"Sorry Klaus, but none of us really have much of an appetite right now." Said Baron
"How can you expect us to even think about food after what Alice just told us?!" exclaimed Dan
"For once we agree Dan." I said
"You worry too much Dan." Said Klaus
"Master Klaus was concerned, but he didn't want you, his guests to be concerned. He prepared this meal for you, so you could relax while he made arrangements for your journey home." Said Sirenoid
"Huh?!" We all exclaimed in unison
"Dr. Michael isn't the only one with a dimension transporter system. I've got one of my own here in the castle." Said Klaus
"Why didn't you say so?! We've been sitting here, like, freaking out the whole time!" exclaimed Dan
"Sorry." Said Klaus
"I'm impressed. Even I don't have one of those." Said Marucho
"Well, it's been lovely having you in my home, but I suppose it's time for you to be on your way back now." Said Klaus
"Uh-huh." Said Marucho
"You said it." I said
"I agree." Said Dawn
"Yep! How 'bout you Mira? You comin' with us?" asked Dan
"Did you think I'd sit this one out?" asked Mira
"Ace, my man?" asked Ace
"You bet Dan! I've got a score to settle with that Vexos witch who jumped me outside. Thanks again Klaus." Said Ace
"My pleasure Ace." Said Klaus
"What about you Baron? You in?" asked Dan
"Sorry Master Dan. I can't come with you. I got some things at home that I have to take care of. Catch you later." Said Baron
"Really? You're not coming with us?" asked Dan
"It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't leave without saying good-bye to my brothers and sisters." Said Baron
"You're right Baron. You can't break their hearts like that. Do what you need to do, and we'll make sure to save a couple of Vexos creeps for you." Said Ace
"Thanks Ace. I'm really glad you understand." Said Baron
"Baron! Don't worry man, we won't leave until you're ready." Said Dan
"Huh?" wondered Baron
"We're a team, and a team sticks together, whether or not they're a duelist or a brawler." I said while everyone else nodded in agreement
"Cool!" exclaimed Baron
I then heard what sounded like a telephone.
"Huh? Whoa, the alarm." Said Klaus
"No time to chat. Time I'd show you guys something. Teleport! Get us out of here!" I exclaimed
Klaus nodded his head while we all teleported out of his house, just in time. Baron, Ace, and Mira all looked shocked
"How did you do that?" asked Baron
"I'm a psychic duelist. I mentioned this to Dan, Marucho, and Mira, and I can essentially bring my deck to life if I wish it. The spell card I just used was called 'teleport', but I teleported us to a place directly underneath us, of course I took the liberty of using a secluded area to teleport us to." I said
"Hey, we're in the park! My house is close by!" Baron exclaimed while running off
"Well, I call that bonus points." I said before we all ran after him
Eventually we made it to his place when a voice called out:
"Baron! You're back!"
"Of course I am. I told you I would be." Said Baron
Man, Baron's got quite the family. I don't think I've seen so many brothers and sisters in my life!
"Sorry, bad news, I have to head out with Dan and the others for a while." Said Baron
"Aw." All of Baron's siblings complained
"You just got back from your last trip." Said his little sister
"Ba-ban. Stay!" exclaimed his baby sister
"Sorry guys, but a good friend is in trouble on Earth. I have to go and help her. You understand, right? It's important." Said Baron
"Sorry little dudes. I promise we'll have your big bro back soon." Said Dan
"He's a really important part of our team." Said Marucho
"Don't worry. We understand. You're a hero Baron, and that means sometimes you have to be away from your family, right?" Baron's little sister asked
The rest of his siblings nodded.
"You guys are the greatest brothers and sisters a guy could ever ask for. Be good to mom while I'm gone." Said Baron
"Bye-bye." Baron's baby sister said
"Bye Baron." All of his siblings said in unison
After we were in a safe place, I used the teleport card again, and we all found ourselves in Klaus' mansion.
"Man, nice save with your psychic powers Sakura." Said Dan
"If you didn't use them, I would've never been able to say good-bye to my family!" exclaimed Baron
"I sense you have many battles ahead of you, brawlers. Sirenoid and I will keep our fingers crossed that you'll be victorious against the Vexos." Said Klaus
"Please be careful and take care of one another." Said Sirenoid
"Don't worry Sirenoid, we will. Come on guys, let's hit it!" exclaimed Dan
"Yeah!" we all exclaimed in unison
We all headed through the dimensional transporter, but I had no idea where I was! I mean, it looked like Earth, but where the heck am I? This isn't Marucho's house!
"Finally. You made it. It took a while for me to track you down." Said a female voice
A girl with purple hair with pink streaks that was shoulder length and coffee black eyes showed up. She was wearing a red shirt with black shorts and red high heels. I haven't see you in a long time.
"Long time no see, Grace." I said
*Commercial Break*
Sakura: Time to kick it into gear. Bakugan, Brawl!
Grace: Show me what you've got Sakura!
"So tell me, how did you track me down?" I asked
"I have my ways." Said Grace
"Suspicious if you ask me. Diverting the path from the Dimensional Transporter. I'm impressed." I said
"Yeah, but I'm not here to chit-chat. You do know what this is, right?" Grace asked while tossing a Darkus Bakugan into the air
"A Bakugan? Wait. Hit the pause button here. You wanna brawl?" I asked
"Yeah. So, are you game, or are you scared?" asked Grace
"Ha! Scared? You're talking to me here Grace. I'm never scared." I said while strapping on my gauntlet
Grace strapped on a gauntlet of her own. I wonder how she got it.
"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" Grace and I exclaimed in unison
"Gate Card, Set! You'll be the first to see the new and improved Twilight! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid, take to the skies!" I exclaimed
"I'm ready!" exclaimed Twilight

"Nice one Grace." I said
"Thanks, but I'm just getting started. Gate Card, Set! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Let's do this again L-Drago!

"Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Hit them hard Twilight!" I exclaimed

"Gate Card, Open! Dark Reactor: Dark Power! This will give L-Drago an extra 600 G's." said Grace

"This is where is ends Sakura. Double Ability Activate! Dark Power plus Fusion Ability Dark Power Overdrive! Dark Power negates all future abilities while Overdrive gives L-Drago 1000 G's for every Darkus Bakugan on the field, including itself." Said Grace
Darkus L-Drago G-Power 1800
Sakura Life-force Zero
I fell onto the ground as I lost. At least we didn't lose the Crimson Dragon's power.
"Whew, man, you had me on the ropes there Sakura." Said Grace
"I did?" I asked
"Yeah." Said Grace
"That battle kept me on my toes. You are a worthy opponent Meridian Twilight Dragonoid." Said L-Drago
"Please, call me Twilight. You are a worthy adversary as well L-Drago." Said Twilight
"Stop it. You're making me blush." L-Drago said while looking away.
"In any case, Sakura, I have something to ask you." Said Grace
"What is it?" I asked
"Have you heard of a group called the Vexos?" Grace asked with a serious look on her face
*Preview*
Sakura: Hey, it's me, Sakura. After seeing Grace after such a long time, the last thing I expected to hear from her was that she met the Vexos, but the question is why go after her? They didn't even know that I know her. How can I explain myself when I already have so many questions? Let's go Twilight! Bakugan, Brawl! See you later, brawlers!
*End Preview*
Done and done! Man, this one took me a while, but hey, I finally finished! Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
