Chapter 20: Darkness Overwhelms

Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know, I'm late with the update. Hey, I just got through some of my midterms. I gotta tell ya though, being a music major is hard. Maybe I should consider changing my major. I'll worry about it later. It's disclaimer time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan or Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. I also do not own Grace or her Bakugan partners L-Drago and Moonlight Shadow. They belong to my boyfriend Detroid434. Finally, Jack Vense, AKA, Dark Mask doesn't belong to me either. He belongs to my good friend Storyteller222.

Enjoy!

I was stuck watching a monster movie with the boys. I hated these kinds of movies! And there was a good reason for that. Every time I saw a movie with the boys, they'd always argue who was the better duelist. I swear, one of these days, they're just gonna give me a headache. Thankfully, the movie ended with the dragon turning the metal robot dragon thing into scrap metal.

"Dino K.O! Yeah! Dude, this movie is awesome on the big screen! Hey Drago, how about those monster moves, huh?" asked Dan

"Hmph. Movies always exaggerate. I could do better." Said Drago

"I don't know Drago. That monster's pretty tough." Said Marucho

"Whatever. It's just a stupid movie, but if he were real, Percival could take him." Said Ace

"Yeah! And Nemus would take him too." Said Baron

"But not as fast as Ingram could." Said Shun

"What? You guys got popcorn for brains?" asked Dan

"This is why I hate watching monster movies with these guys. It always ends in an argument!" exclaimed Runo

"Ugh. Plus is leaves me with a headache." Said Julie

"I feel your pain you two. This is why I prefer to watch movies alone." I said

"It's really not their fault. They're just extra wound up because they're stuck in here. Boys get frustrated when they can't battle." Said Mira

"Man, after seeing that, I'm just itching to brawl with those Vexos goons!" exclaimed Dan

"Me too! This hiding out stuff is for suckers! I say we look for some Vexos to throw down! Sorry, I know it's not lady like to say so, but I'm just so frustrated by all this sitting around! I'm no scaredy cat! I'm fierce like a tiger! Let's just see one of those Vexos try to take me down! I don't care who it is! Prince Hydron, Mylene, Shadow Prove, Lync. It doesn't matter! I'll knock them down like a bunch of bowling pins!" exclaimed Elfin

"Stop it!" exclaimed Preyas

"What's wrong Preyas?" asked Marucho

"She's talking craziness, that's what! None of us are afraid of the Vexos, but that doesn't mean we can be irresponsible and go around picking fights! As keeper of the Aquos Attribute Energy, Elfin needs to be more responsible." Said Preyas

"Are you calling me irresponsible?!" exclaimed Elfin

"Hotheaded is more like it! Who do you think you are Elfin? Just because you've evolved, doesn't mean you're indestructible. You young ones are so cocky." Said Preyas

"Cocky?! Just because we're not afraid to fight like you old folks? You've got some nerve Preyas." Said Elfin

"I might be older than you, but that doesn't mean I still can't brawl circles around ya!" exclaimed Preyas

"Ugh, I can't take much more of this." I groaned

"Where are you going? Resident Evil's next on the screen." Said Dawn

"Pass. I hate zombie movies." I said before I walked out of the cinema

I walked back into my room and lied down on my bed. Just as I did, Leonidas, Lunar, and Twilight popped out.

"You seriously hate zombie movies?" asked Leonidas

"Yeah, especially if they have 'Resident Evil' in their name. The last time I watched it, I had nightmares for a week." I said

"Why did you watch it in the first place?" asked Lunar

"Biology assignment. We had to watch a movie with something related to some kind of biological technology, like cloning, creating bio-weapons, you name it. Everyone else chose Jurassic Park, Splice, Planet of the Apes, and some other movie I can't remember the name of, but I do know that it had Matt Smith in it. The only movie that was left was Resident Evil, because no one chose that one. I read the summary, so I was like 'I'll watch it to get it over with' and when I did; I had nightmares until I turned in that paper. I never watched a movie with zombies again." I said

"You saw Warm Bodies." Twilight reminded me

"That was more romantic, less 'I'm gonna eat your brain' stuff. Plus, Matt was the one who convinced me to see it." I said before lying down on the bed

I must've fallen asleep, because when I woke up, it was sunset. I looked outside the window, and I saw Grace walking out of the house! But why?

"What's Grace doing?" asked Leonidas

"I don't know, and I sure as hell don't like it. Come on, we better follow her!" I exclaimed

Grace's P.O.V.

I found myself at the docks after Sakura sent me that message, but why would she want to meet me here?

"I see you've received my message." A male voice behind me said

I quickly turned around to see some guy in red, wearing a mask. Who the heck is this guy?

"Who are you?!" I exclaimed

"My name is Spectra, and you have something I want." Said Spectra

"Wait, you mean… you're with the Vexos! And you want L-Drago's Dark Power!" I exclaimed

"Yes and no. Yes, I do want the power your Darkus L-Drago possesses, but I do not work for the Vexos." Said Spectra

"Well, well. Lookie what we found? And after we already got the Aquos Attribute Energy." A childish voice from behind me said

I turned around to see a guy with white hair and red eyes. With him was a guy with pale green hair and purple eyes, but like Mira, Ace, and Baron, they looked human, but the only thing that gave them away was their eyes. They're Vexos! Just before I could do anything, Sakura's Flamvell Grunika appeared, and socked them into the water, shocking me, and possibly Spectra as well.

"Grace!" Sakura exclaimed as she ran up to me

"Sakura? What are you doing here?" I asked

"I could ask the same thing! I saw you exit from you-know-where, so I followed you!" exclaimed Sakura

"Yeah. I thought you sent me a message, so I came here, only to find out that he was the one who sent it." I said as I pointed to Spectra

"Spectra!" exclaimed Sakura

"You know him?" I asked

"I wish I didn't." said Sakura

"Well, if it isn't a surprise." Said Spectra

"Back off loser! I'm going to brawl them, not you!" exclaimed Shadow

"Look, how about this to cool your jets? We fight, three against two, unless you and Prince Brat are too afraid to brawl." Sakura said with a smirk on her face

"What?! Okay, that does it!" Shadow exclaimed as he strapped on his gauntlet

"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" All five of us exclaimed in unison

*Commercial Break*

Sakura: Stay tuned brawlers! You don't wanna miss this one!

Grace: Welcome back! Bakugan, Brawl!

As time resumed around us, Grace suddenly fainted.

"Grace!" I exclaimed

"Looks like we couldn't get the dark power, or the power source." Said Hydron

"What did you do to Grace?!" I exclaimed furious

"You'll find out soon." Hydron said as he and Shadow teleported away

Spectra seemed to be gone as well, but Grace was waking up. At least she's gonna be okay.

"What happened?" Grace asked as she held her head

"You fainted just now. You okay Grace?" I asked

"Grace? Who's that? And who are you?" asked Grace

I had a face of shock when I realized the worst. Grace had amnesia, and whatever Hydron did, I'm going to cook him like a Thanksgiving dinner the next time I see him!
