Chapter 21: Samurai Showdown
Detroid: Detroid434 here and helping my girlfriend here bringing a new chapter to you guys!
sakuraphoenix: sorry it's taken so long for me to update. I'm pretty sure most of you guys are pretty steamed at me right now
Detroid: But let's not get to that since my cute fennekin here has to continue her other fanfics so we'll just get to the disclaimer
sakuraphoenix :and believe me when I say this, it's a bucket load. I just hope I can work on them like, idk, sometime today would be nice!
Detroid: Disclaimer: We do not own Bakugan or Yu-Gi -Oh 5DS. Sakuraphoenix and I however, do own our OC's. Dark Glass isn't our OC either. A new Bakugan makes a surprise visit in this chapter so it belongs to me, Detroid434.
sakuraphoenix: wrong OC
Detroid: I was referring to my OC for that surprise part
sakuraphoenix: I meant the 'dark glass' part. Dark Mask, aka, Jack Vense, belongs to Storyteller222
Detroid: oh *sweatdrops* point is. We don't own the other OC that appears in this chapter
I still felt terrible for what happened to Grace. It's thanks to me… and my stupidity… that her memories are a blank slate. She can't remember who she is, let alone who I am… or where she comes from. This is all my fault. I should've ended the brawl in a flash by pulling out all of the stops, but instead, I held back… and it's thanks to that that the Grace I knew is gone.
"You know that it wasn't your fault Sakura." Twilight said as she perched herself on my shoulder
"You know god damn well it was." I said while still feeling terrible over what happened
"There wasn't any way to avoid the conflict Sakura. If you went in there alone, you would've been the one to get your memories erased, and not Grace." Said Twilight
"Twilight, just leave me alone, okay?" I asked as I walked out of the aquarium in Marucho's house
"Where are you going?" asked Twilight
"I'm gonna find a place where I can chill out, without having to worry about the Vexos." I said as I picked up my Duel Disk and Gauntlet and put them in a bag
"You're not going out there! What if the Vexos ambush you?!" exclaimed Twilight
"They won't, because I'm leaving you here. If you wanna follow me, be my guest. I just wanna be alone." I said as I walked away
I went into my room, found some clothes that were more earth-friendly, so to speak, took out my contact lenses and replaced them with my transitions lenses glasses, put my hair up so it was Musa-styled when she had her long hair, and not her freakishly short pigtails, and topped the look off with a hat. I just hope that this would be enough of a disguise to hide from the Vexos, because honestly, I did not want to be fighting any one of them right now. A few hours and a lot of duels passed, but I was still bored out of my mind. At least I decided to take a lunch break at a nearby café. There's nothing a good cheeseburger with fries and a Diet Coke can't fix when it comes to my appetite.
"Fresh air, the wind blowing through my hair, and no Vexos in sight. I might just get used to this." I said to myself
I was about to take a sip of my Diet Coke, when I could've sworn I saw something in the glass reflection, and for once, it wasn't the glare of a car. It looked like… Jack?! Okay, this is the part where I pretend I didn't notice him, finish my lunch and find… aw shoot me. I almost forgot that I didn't have a Bakugan on me! Then I mentally face palmed myself as I remembered that I brought Leo and Lunar with me. Still, I can't lead him back to Marucho's house; I'd give the others away! Just as I was thinking about my predicament, something fell into my soda. Talk about a waste of a good Diet Coke. I fished whatever fell into my soda, and pulled out… a Bakugan? Well, a slightly carbonated water soaked Bakugan, I should say. Good thing I have a habit of grabbing a few napkins more than I need. A few seconds later of cleaning, the Bakugan was as clean as a whistle, and was clean enough for me to tell that it was a Haos Bakugan, just when it popped open, and nearly scared the pants, hat, and glasses off me.
"Hey! Watch it with that weapon of yours! Do you know how long it takes to dry off?!" exclaimed the Bakugan
"For starters, you fell into my drink. Secondly, try keeping it down." I said
"Keeping it down?! Well, for your information, I was minding my own business trying to find Master Ingram when some flock of birds scared me, I fell, and here I am! What do you even want with me?!" exclaimed the Bakugan
"Geez, you're stubborn, aren't ya? But to answer your question, nothing." I said
"Well you should know… wait, you don't want me to become your new brawling partner?" The Bakugan asked in a confused tone
"Well… yeah. Now, I'm only picking up bits and pieces, but if I had to guess, you were Ventus Master Ingram's student, am I right?" I asked
"Yeah, that's right." Said the Bakugan
"And you wanna see how much you've learned in your time apart, correct?" I asked
"Uh-huh." Said the Bakugan
"Well, you're in luck. I happen to know Ingram's partner, Shun. There's just one thing I gotta take care of first." I said
"And what might that be?" asked the Bakugan
"There's someone following me, and that's not a good sign because this guy is out to get me." I said
"What do we do?" asked the Bakugan
"We? I thought you wanted to find Ingram." I said
"Ugh, you love playing word games, do you?" asked the Bakugan
"Opposite actually. I hate word games, but I like messing with people all the same. Anyways, while I deal with the stalker, you never told me your name." I said
"Because you never asked for it, but since you were kind enough to save me from that weapon of yours, I'm Haos Hidden Shadow Striker." Said Shadow Striker
"Again, that's not a weapon. That was part of my lunch. Or was I should say. Anyways, that little problem I have, just hang tight while I deal with it." I said
I threw what was left of my lunch away and started walking. Whenever I had to stop, I pulled out a compact mirror and pretended to be checking on my make-up as I kept watching Jack follow me. I may not know this city as well as Bayview yet, but I do know of a place that's going to be pretty abandoned for the time being. The warehouses near the new Samurai theme park that's going to be opening tomorrow.
"I know you're following me Jack. Let's make this easy and come out before I force you to." I said
"Jack? There isn't a Jack here, there's only…" Jack started as he came out from his hiding place
Well, he has the Vexos tackiness in his outfit, included with a mask that makes him look like Masquerade while his outfit made me think of Spectra, only flauntier and had a devil-like grin on his face.
"Oh no, it's Masquerade. I'm so scared." I said in a sarcastic tone
"Well you should be brawler! The power of the Ancient Warriors will do greatly for my purposes! But then again, I think with what your Bakugan has, it'll make quite the substitute." Said Jack
"You sure you can handle my Bakugan? Last I checked, the rest of the Vexos couldn't handle themselves. Spectra and Gus included." I said
"I think you'll enjoy my creations and creatures over the ones you've seen prior. In fact, I think one of them knows you rather well." Said Jack
He opened his hand, and it was Red-Eyes! But something was different! It was like… like what happened to Helios.
"Red-Eyes! What have you done?!" I exclaimed in fury
"Well, I felt his power was ultimately insufficient to meet my requirements, so I made him better. The procedure was rather difficult to be sure. I didn't have the Darkus Attribute Energy to push him ahead, nor did I have any alternate source… until I managed to find this." Jack said while holding up a Forbidden Ability card with a psychotic grin on his face
"That ability… I thought only Spectra was crazy enough to use it, but you?! What's wrong with you Jack?!" I exclaimed
To my surprise, his evil smirk turned into a frown before saying:
"I am not Vense. I am superior to him." Said Jack
"Okay, either I'm having a bad dream from my lunch or you've been reading too many alien abduction books." I said
"Oh enough with the banter! It's time to throw down and brawl!" Jack exclaimed while at the same time, scaring some of the resident birds
"Ow, I think you busted my ear drums, but fine! If it's a brawl you want, it's a brawl you'll get!" I exclaimed
"Gauntlet…" started Jack
"Power Strike!" I exclaimed as I finished what he was about to say
An aurora of light began to shine around us before time slowed down and came to a complete halt.
"As manners show, it's best for the lady to go first." Jack said in a sing-song like voice
"Thanks. Gate Card, Set!" I exclaimed as I set down my Gate Card
Okay, what to do here? I can't risk Twilight, but then again, she's at home right now. Unless she's out and about, but if that were so, Jack wouldn't be here. So that means Twilight's safe for now. But here's the other problem. The only Bakugan I brought with me were Leonidas and Lunar, and I can't use them without the worry of my secret being discovered. In that case, I have only one option.
"Here we go! Bakugan Trap! Haos Triad Sphinx!" I exclaimed
Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 350
"A Trap, eh? Not wanting to gamble?" Jack pondered before snapping before saying:
"Fine! I'll make this interesting! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Come forth, Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid!" He exclaimed
A purple light flooded the battlefield as I saw Red-Eyes make his appearance, but I was anything but excited to see him. His body was coated in a dark metal, and his eyes were a ruby red color while always open. If Helios didn't scare me before, I do not want to see him as a Cyborg now.
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
"That's Red-Eyes?! What happened to you? Come on, don't you recognize me? It's me! Sakura! You've gotta remember me!" I exclaimed out of worry
"S-Sakura…" A familiar, yet computerized voice cried out
I looked and saw Red-Eyes' eyes glowing a bit before the glow died down.
"Red-Eyes… I'll save you. Ability Activate! Ancient Rays!" I exclaimed
Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 550
"Not enough! Okay, I'll try this! Pyrus Ability Activate! Ra's Wrath!" I exclaimed
Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 850
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 400
After the attack hit Red-Eyes, he was trying to talk to me again. Red-Eyes…
"S-Sakura. He did this. He did this to me. Can't stop. Can't disobey." Red-Eyes said in a pleading tone with his eyes lighting up every time he spoke
"Oh, too right Red-Eyes. Your devotion and loyalty are so great to hear. It's like a delicious pasta sauce." Jack said in a self-flattering tone
"You monster! Don't you see that you're hurting him?! How could you do such a thing to him?! He's your partner, not a dog on a leash!" I exclaimed in fury
"He's nothing more than a tool for me to use. And once he breaks, I'll have to fix him, and if he's ruined, then I'll just throw him away and build a new one. That is until the BT system is online." Jack said with a sneer on his face
"You're no better than Spectra." I said as I clenched my hand into a fist before continuing my thoughts by saying:
"I really didn't want to do this, but you left me with no choice. I'm bringing out the big guns! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Haos Zeus Leonidas, knock some sense into that head of his!"
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1000
"Whoa, what happened to Red-Eyes? Did he go to Helios' body shop?" Leonidas asks
"This isn't the time for jokes Leo. Whatever's possessing Jack has caused this. We can't let him get his way. Ability Activate! Delta Lightning Spear!" I exclaimed
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1400
"Who. Is. That?" Red-Eyes asked as he got shocked by Leonidas's ability
"Don't give them time to recover Leo! Keep going at it!" I exclaimed
Leo really went at it with his attacks. It was so much that there was a gigantic dust cloud in the area, but when it settled down, Red-Eyes was still standing!
"S-Sakura. It wasn't. Enough." Red-Eyes said as his eyes lit up
Okay, I got metal dents and electricity surging, Red-Eyes was covered in this Darkus aura, Jack seemed to have activated an ability, and this did not look good.
"Diagnostics complete. Main core has been stabilized and power loss has been compensated back to 100 percent. Physical damage caused by Delta Lightning Spear has been recognized as is being restored. Additional minor damage caused by Bakugan Trap abilities Ancient Rays and Ra's Wrath is also being restored. Basic systems are back online; attack systems have completed scans of enemy Bakugan and are online. All systems are online and ready." A computerized voice said from Jack's Gauntlet
The dents were fixed, the electricity stopped, and I was mad!
"Excellent. It seems that FARBAS XL is working like I thought it would." Jack said
"All that work for nothing?!" I exclaimed
"This is getting annoying. Sakura, we need to finish this now." Leonidas said
"Hmph. Leonidas has a point, so I'll do that for you. Luckily, thanks to FARBAS XL, my creation's power is back to basics." Jack said
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
"And that's not even the best part. Thanks to some notes that Spectra left behind, I managed to salvage something interesting." He continues
"Attack system pursuit protocols are now in place. Defensive response shielding is online and is increasing output by 80 percent. Detecting difference between enemy power levels and this unit's. Increasing power levels by 1550 to match." A computerized voice said
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 2250
"Uh-oh." I said in a nervous tone
"Uh-oh is right! We gotta do something!" exclaimed Leonidas
"I'm on it! Ability Activate! Iota Flash Tornado! This one's a little costly, but it's bringing all Bakugan back to base!" I exclaimed
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1000
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 350
"That won't save you. Double Ability Activate! Dragonoid Nails plus Void Eater!" Jack exclaimed
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 1700
Haos Zeus Leonidas and Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 950
"Hang in there you two! Gate Card, Open! Athena's Parthenon! This Gate Card nullifies your abilities Jack, but at the same time, it allows me to use something greater than Vestal technology." I said
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1000
Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 350
"Oh, will you stop calling me that?! I told you I'm not Vense!" He denied
"Whatever. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show." I said as I was typing in Leo's Battlegear code on my Gauntlet
Ready Delta Striker
"Hey, what is that?" Jack demanded
"Your downfall. Heads up, Leo! Battlegear Boost!" I exclaimed
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1100
"How do you like them apples?" I asked
"Sakura. Will. It. Be… enough?" Red-Eyes asked
"Hush you! I'll pick my own fruit! Ability Activate! Shade Assassin!" Jack exclaimed
And now it was a case of now you see me and now you don't.
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 900
Haos Triad Sphinx G-Power 150
"Where did he go?" asked Leonidas
"Keep your eyes and ears open Leo." I said
We looked around, and I was keeping my senses up as I saw Jack hold up two ability cards. He was about to load then when I heard a voice from behind me say:
"S-Sakura. Behind. You."
"What? Leo! He's right behind us! Let me give you a boost! Ventus Ability Activate! Windy Rays!" I exclaimed
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 500
With the knowledge of Red-Eyes' location, Leo turned around and gave him one heck of a knuckle sandwich!
"Grrr! I'll have to remove that voice of yours next time! Ability Activate! Flare Blast!" Jack exclaimed
Haos Zeus Leonidas and Triad Sphinx G-Power 650
Red-Eyes launched a Flare Blast, but Leo was still standing, just like I hoped.
"Leo's been through worse, and there's more to Athena's Parthenon. I can use Battlegear Ability Level 3! Battlegear Ability Activate! Delta Striker… Alpha! This sends the opposing Bakugan back to base, give Leonidas a power boost equal to half of his original base power, and stops you from activating abilities! And to keep things interesting, Ability Activate! Ancient Rays! And now for my personal favorite, Ability Activate! Delta Lightning Spear!" I exclaimed
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
Haos Zeus Leonidas and Triad Sphinx G-Power 1750
"What?!" exclaimed Jack
"I promised to save the Bakugan from the Vexos, and that's what I'm gonna do! Alright Leo!" I exclaimed
"Target locked." Leo called out
"Engage!" I exclaimed
"Oh no you don't!" He shouts, stating to input commands onto his gauntlet before speaking into it saying:
"This is Dark Mask! Command Prompt S! Password: Ark!"
"Recognized. Diverting power to defensive response shielding and increasing output to max. Attempting power surge." A computerized voice said
Judging by the look in his eyes, this is a sink or swim tactic. And judging from my gauntlet, he's swimming!
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 1400
"No way! His power level just doubled!" I exclaimed out of shock
As Jack breathed a sigh of relief, Leonidas and Triad Sphinx finished off Red-Eyes.
Dark Mask Life-Force 50 percent
"So close!" I exclaimed as I caught Leonidas and Triad Sphinx
"And yet no cigar." Leonidas comments
I was thinking about our next plan of attack when I heard Jack make a hiss, like he was trying to become Medusa or something, despite the fact that he sounded frustrated.
"Hey, if you're done playing with your friend Medusa, we're waiting." I said in an annoyed tone
"I thought I told you to stop with the banter! Gate Card, Set!" exclaimed Jack
"I hope you're ready for round two, because I'm gonna mop the floor with ya!" I exclaimed
"We'll see. Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Come forth! Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid!" exclaimed Jack
"Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Let's go Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid!" I exclaimed
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid G-Power 1000
"Another one?!" Jack exclaimed in outrage
"S-Sakura. How come. You have. These Bakugan? Why didn't. You use them. Back on. New Vestroia?" Red-Eyes asked me
"I… I can't say… Red-Eyes, I'm sorry, but I have a secret I have to keep. Please understand. I can't tell… because I don't have a choice. Ability Activate! Celestial Ring!" I exclaimed
Haos Celestial Dragonoid G-Power 1500
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 200
"Grr… I didn't want to use this yet, but it looks like I have no choice. Ability Activate! Machine Rollout! This ability allows me to call in some back-up! Get ready to see what else I have in store!" exclaimed Jack
With that said and done, Jack brought out two new Mechanical Bakugan. One of them looked like Prefect Machine King, but well… not as Prefect. Okay, that was a really bad joke. On the other hand, guy number two looked a lot like a mechanical wolf. This was not going to end well. Did I mention that my fear of dogs applies to wolves as well? If not, Dan's Grakas Hound and Dark Hound may have found a new playmate.
"Behold, Subterra Machine King and Bakugan Trap Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf!" exclaimed Jack
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf G-Power 500
Subterra Machine King G-Power 700
"Hey! What gives?! Red-Eyes is back at base! And a Pyrus Bakugan Trap? Who are ya, Spectra's cousin or something?!" I exclaimed
"I'm not going to dignify that question with a response." Jack grumbles before continuing:
"As for the others, an effect of Machine Rollout is that it resets the G's of all Mechanical Bakugan on the field, yet allows for strength in numbers. The reason why I didn't use it earlier was because I was sure that using Void Eater would be enough. But, time to get back to business. Speaking of which, Ability Activate! Royal Compatibility!" exclaimed Jack
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid, Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf, and Subterra Machine King G-Power 2200
"Yikes!" I exclaimed
"This is bad." Said Lunar
"No kidding! And he hasn't even thrown any punches yet!" I exclaimed
"What made you think I was?" Jack asked sarcastically before saying:
"Double Ability Activate! Predator's Gaze plus King's Melee!" exclaimed Jack
Giga-Tech Wolf then gave Lunar this intense look, which made her paralyzed, like… like she was scared out of her mind. Not only that, it was about to get worse, seeing the left hook Lunar just took from Machine King.
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid, Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf, and Subterra Machine King G-Power 2700
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid G-Power 1000
"Hang in there! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Help her out Leo!" I exclaimed
Haos Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1000
"Ability Activate! Iota Flash Tornado!" I exclaimed
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid G-Power 1000
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 700
Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf G-Power 500
Subterra Machine King G-Power 700
"I'm getting tired of that! I've had enough! Gate Card, Open! Wartime Development! This one is simple. All Mechanical Bakugan get their base power doubled." Jack explains
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 1400
Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf G-Power 1000
Subterra Machine King G-Power 1400
"Uh, yeah. Can someone call Kaiba Corp.? I think the Vexos just ripped off one of their cards. Limiter Removal has the exact same effect as that Gate Card." I said
"You said it. Let's hope the effect is the same." Leonidas said
"Not going to dignify that with a response." Jack repeats, as if it was a mantra or something before continuing:
"I'm just going to end this! Triple Ability Activate! Void Eater plus Nitro Shot plus Final Artillery!"
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 1800
Pyrus Giga-Tech Wolf G-Power 1200
Subterra Machine King G-Power 1800
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1600
"S-Sakura. I'm sorry. Can't stop." Red-Eyes said before charging up his attack
As Jack's Bakugan were charging up their attacks, I held up an ability card, and was prepared to use it. I just hoped he wouldn't see it until it was active. Thankfully, Lady Luck was on my side today.
"I'm glad I had this ability on hand Leo. The ability Doom Dragon. It's a unique ability only Leonidas can use. It draws from the power of the Doom Dimension to send your attack back at you. The only cost of this ability is that Leo can't attribute change for the rest of this brawl." I said
"But I'm fine with that!" Leonidas exclaimed
"What?!" Jack shouted, outraged
With the blast of the reflection, it really sent Jack's Bakugan packing. Giga-Tech Wolf withdrew back to Jack's side while Red-Eyes and his Machine King were barely holding on.
Dark Mask Life Force 40 percent
"Please. Try harder. I can't live. Like this." Red-Eyes said in a pleading tone
"Don't worry; I'm doing all I can to help you Red-Eyes. I promise." I reassured
"I've had enough of this!" Jack exclaimed out of frustration
"You and me both! I'm ending it now!" I exclaimed
Ready Delta Striker
Ready Celestial Hammer
"Oh no you don't! Double Ability Activate! Shade Assassin plus Kingdom Crusher!" Jack exclaimed
Unlike last time, both Machine King and Red-Eyes vanished!
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 900
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 2000
Subterra Machine King G-Power 2300
"Okay. Where did they go?" asked Leonidas
"Let's light them up. Ability Activate! Dwarf Nebula! This ability sends all non-Darkus and Haos Bakugan back to their owner without a fight and negates the last ability or consecutive ability combination activated." I said
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1600
Thanks to that handy ability, Red-Eyes reappeared like a target while Machine King was sent back to Jack. Now that was easy.
"Now that the target's up, Battlegear Boost!" I exclaimed
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1800
"Now. Double Battlegear Ability Activate! Delta Striker Omega plus Celestial Hammer Jupiter! And if that's not enough, Ability Activate! Omega Finale! This one is going to double their power, big time!" I exclaimed
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 4000
"Oh no you don't! Double Ability Activate! Metal Bounding! Plus Great Flare Blast!" Jack exclaimed, getting more desperate
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1400
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 2200
"You're not the only one with Abilities. Ability Activate! Celestial Ring!" I exclaimed
Darkus Red-Eyes Metal Dragonoid G-Power 1800
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 1200
"Not enough! Let's try this! Double Ability Activate! Lunar Cycle plus Phoenix Style: Full Moon Dance!" I exclaimed
Haos Celestial Lunar Dragonoid and Zeus Leonidas G-Power 2000
It seemed that Jack was about to play an ability that would've tried to continue the brawl, but a piece of shrapnel from Red-Eyes' metallic armor hit part of his mask, which seemed to have frozen him solid, and Red-Eyes went down. He soon was back in ball form before Jack's feet and I won the brawl.
Dark Mask Life Force Zero
"I won... barely, but we did it Lunar, Leonidas. But it wasn't enough to save Red-Eyes." I said
I was about to yell at Jack, when I noticed he was just standing there, like a frozen ice statue or something. Okay, did not mean to bring in a Frozen reference there.
"Jack? Hey, you okay?" I asked in confusion
"S-Sakura." Jack barely said
That tone… it's him. It's not the tone he used when he was brawling me.
"Jack! What happened to you? Why were you acting like a completely different person during our brawl?" I asked
"I'm… sorry, he controls me and controlled Red-Eyes. Can't stop him." Jack said with a tear falling from his left eye
"Who's controlling you? Is it Zenoheld?" I asked
"No… Zenoheld is a fool, a manipulative figurehead. He wants revenge for his late master… and I… oh god… I saw it all. I watched it happen to Red-Eyes and I was powerless to stop him." Jack said in a fearful tone
"Then… our brawl… do you remember what happened? And who's controlling you if not Zenoheld? Jack… please tell me. I can let the others know. We can help free you!" I exclaimed
"I do remember Sakura... I remember my partner's cries of pain and suffering as his body was turned into that... that thing! It's all my fault this happened. The only way for you to help is to not lose the Attribute Energies, or the BT System will be the least of your worries; compared to what he has planned." Jack said as another tear fell from his left eye as he picks up his fallen partner
"Who's he? What does he have planned? Jack, what are we up against?" I asked
"He is G, H-" Jack started but suddenly stops as his body language became tense before he said:
"I can't be here any longer. I'm so sorry."
He then extended his right hand, and he disappeared in a teleport.
"Jack!" I exclaimed
"He's gone." Leonidas said as he and Lunar emerged from my pocket
"We learned something new though. We have another enemy, one who's using both the Vexos and Jack's body, but then that means that Jack and Dark Mask aren't the same person... but it also means he's learned my little secret. I just hope he doesn't figure it out until when we meet in a year. But wait… Jack thought I was the me of my future, in my past. He also mentioned something about a 'betrayal'. So… could… could my presence here be changing the future? Or... or do I not tell them what happened here? They find out one way or another, but... what do I do? The only person I can confide in is Dawn, but even so, I'm in a crisis. Oh man... this is crazy. I don't know what to do, for once." I said
"Worry about it later. Haven't you noticed that even though the brawl is over, time hasn't resumed?" asked Lunar
"You're right. But that's impossible, unless… holy smokes! Shun! We gotta help him!" I exclaimed
*Commercial Break*
Sakura: Hang in there Shun! We're coming!
Shadow Striker: Ingram! Prepare yourself!
*End Commercial Break*
"Come Bakugan trap. Drone Spider! Drone Spider, switch to arm mode! Join with Boriates!" Volt commanded
Haos Boriates and Dynamo G-Power 1100
Ventus Master Ingram G-Power 600
"Looks like we made it in time. Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" I shouted
As the Bakugan stood, Ingram was in shock to see his former student.
"Haos Hidden Shadow Striker appears!" Shadow Striker shouted
Haos Shadow Striker G-Power 770
"You like making a flashing appearance, don't ya?" I asked her
"Yeah." Shadow replied
"No way! I knew it. It's been a long time." Ingram said to Shadow Striker
"Indeed it has, Master Ingram" Shadow Striker spoke
"Do you know this Bakugan, Ingram?" Shun asked
"I do." Ingram replied
"Quit stalling! Let's go Battle Arm Boriates." Volt yelled
"Watch out. Here it comes, Ingram." Shun said
"Ready Shun." Ingram replied
"Same to you Shadow Striker." I told her
"Okay!" Shadow Striker spoke
"Wait for me! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" Baron yelled
"I'm the evolved Haos Nemus. Guided by the glowing light." Nemus spoke
Nemus saw another Haos Bakugan on the field besides Boriates, which shocked Baron and Nemus.
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, and Saint Nemus G-Power 1970
"Nemus!" Ingram said
"That's me." Nemus replied
"Baron. What are you...?" Shun and I said in union
"We were nearby and got caught in the time freeze. When I realized it was you. I thought maybe you could use some backup." Baron replied
"You and me both." I told Baron
"Maron, you have to hide right now." Baron told Maron
"Mm-hmm." Maron replied while running to hide
"Enough talk. If all three of you want to fight then let's go. Ability Activate! Vector Phalanx!" Volt shouted
Haos Boriates and Dynamo G-Power 1900
"Hate to break it but you don't have enough G's to pass us!" I told Volt
"Maron! Come Bakugan trap! Haos Guardian!" Baron said
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 2320
"Ability Activate! Eternal Cocoon!" Baron yelled
I saw Piercian's shield had placed in front of Maron and protecting her from Volt's attack when Baron ran up to her.
"Maron!" Baron exclaimed in worry
"I'm ok." Maron replied
"Baron, is she hurt?" I asked him
"No, she's fine but Haos Guardian cannot attack while the Eternal Cocoon is activated Shun and Sakura." Baron told us
"Got it!" I replied
"No problem. Come Bakugan trap! Ventus Hylash! Come on Shadow wing! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" Shun yelled
Ventus Master Ingram, Hylash, Shadow Wing, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 3020
"Hah! That's interesting. Gate Card, open! Forcement Enemy!" Volt said
I saw that Boriates and Dynamo Spider were getting a big surge of power! What's going on with this gate card?
Haos Boriates and Dynamo G-Power 3100
"Impossible!" I yelled
"Look at their power levels." Baron told us
"Forcement Enemy is a command card that adds a power level of 100 times the number of enemy Bakugan to each Bakugan on my side. So thank you for the points even if you didn't mean it." Volt said to us
"You think you're smart! Nemus, Attribute Change!" Baron told Nemus
"And now! Light turns to Darkness! Attribute Change! Numulen oh Kula. Numulen oh Kula!" Nemus said
I saw that Shadow Striker was shocked to see Nemus transform into a different attribute. What does that mean? Can she attribute change too?
"Ability Activate! Darkus Sky!" Baron spoke
"Ingram!" Shun yelled
"Ready, launch!" Ingram replied
Ingram, Shadow Wing and Hylash jumped into the air! What is Shun thinking of activating?
"Ability Activate! Eight-Span Crow!" Shun finished
Ventus Master Ingram, Hylash, Shadow Wing, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 3820
"Boriates! Ability Activate! Vector Phalanx!" Volt shouted
"Not so fast! Sakura!" Shadow Striker told me
"Right! Ability Activate! Sun Horn!" I yelled
I saw that Shadow Striker was becoming bright, so bright that it must have been blinding Boriates since he was missing every Bakugan.
Haos Boriates and Dynamo G-Power 3900
Ventus Master Ingram, Hylash, Shadow Wing, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 4120
"What just happened? It's like they just disappeared. There not on the sensors!" Volt shouted
"Invisibility is the way of a ninja." Ingram said before disappearing
"Yeah! Nice one Master Shun." Baron said to Shun
"Now it's time we see the sun, Baron." Shun and I told him
"You got it. Ability Activate! Night Skyworks!" Baron shouted
"Who knew the night can be so bright! Open wide!" Nemus exclaimed
I saw that Volt was covering his eyes since this attack was so bright.
Ventus Master Ingram, Hylash, Shadow Wing, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 4420
"Yeah, good call." Baron said
"Kazami-style, Ninja Torpedo Slash!" Shun replied
Ventus Master Ingram, Hylash, Shadow Wing, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 5020
"Ability Activate! Light Fuse!" I shouted
Ventus Master Ingram, Hylash, Shadow Wing, Haos Hidden Shadow Striker, Saint Nemus, and Piercian G-Power 4150
I heard Boriates roaring in pain and turning back into ball form and went back to Volt as our Bakugan came back to us as I caught Shadow Striker.
Volt Life Force 40 percent
"Have you had enough Volt or do you want to keep going?" Baron asked Volt
"Ok, I'll admit it. You three are a tougher competition than I thought you'd be. But what kind of warrior wouldn't quit while their still standing. Wouldn't you agree, brawler Shun!" Volt said
"Sometimes it's good to quit while you're ahead." I replied
"I couldn't agree more Sakura." Shun told me
"Master Shun is... so cool." Maron spoke
"Let me get the party started! Gate Card, Set! Bakugan Stand!" Baron yelled
A giant Haos Gate Card disappeared beneath us as Nemus stood.
"Boriates! Take that one first! Bakugan Stand!" Volt shouted
"I'm not having you lose your partner Baron. Bakugan Stand!" I shouted
Haos Saint Nemus G-Power 600
Haos Boriates G-Power 700
Haos Hidden Shadow Striker 770
"Ability Activate! Ray of Light!" I shouted
Haos Hidden Shadow Striker G-Power 1020
"Fusion Ability Activate! Light Shriek!" I added in
I saw a Bakugan coming out of the ability and landing on the field. What just happened?
"Waylight, glad you can make it" Shadow Striker said to the Bakugan
The Bakugan bowed back to Shadow Striker but now I need answers from her about that ability.
Haos Waylight G-Power 420
Haos Hidden Shadow Striker and Waylight combined G-Power 1740
"Your turn" I told Volt
"Ability Activate! Prometheus Cannon! Fusion Ability Activate! Buster Mega Barrel!" Volt said
Haos Boriates G-Power 1200
Haos Saint Nemus G-Power 100
Haos Hidden Shadow Striker and Waylight G-Power 1240
"Oh no!" I yelled
"Enjoy brawlers!" Volt told us
Baron and I saw the attack coming towards us which we were prepared to block it.
"Nemus... Big Brother!" Maron said
I saw Shun looking towards Maron and grabbing her and took her up to a safe spot. Thank goodness.
"It's okay Maron. You'll be safe here" Shun told Maron
Shun just jumped back down to us. That's it! Nobody does that to someone's sibling and gets away with it!
"Go after my sister, will ya? Ability Activate! Sparkly Arrow!" Baron yelled
"No one hurts Maron!" Nemus spoke
Haos Saint Nemus G-Power 500
Haos Boriates G-Power 800
I saw that one of Shadow Striker's abilities was glowing and Shadow Striker nodded for me to play it. Here goes.
"Ability Activate! Dual Haos!" I shouted
Haos Hidden Shadow Striker and Waylight G-Power 2280
Haos Saint Nemus G-Power 1000
"Yeah, whatever!" Volt said
"Wwhhhhhaaaaaat!" Baron replied in shock
Baron and I saw that Nemus' attack wasn't doing anything to stop it.
"Bakugan Stand! Ability Activate! Armored Intense Mode!" Shun said quickly
Ventus Master Ingram G-Power 800
That wasn't going to help Shun at all.
"Watch me, nullify your ability" Ingram said as he got in front of Nemus, Shadow Striker and Waylight
"Hey! Not so fast there ya thunder chicken. Buster Mega Barrel can only be nullified by a Haos ability which you just don't have." Volt explained
"Try this! Ability Activate! Haos Illusion!" I shouted
Haos Hidden Shadow Striker and Waylight G-Power 2680
"Oh no!" Shun exclaimed
A big expulsion occurred as Ingram was sent back to Shun. No…..
Ventus Master Ingram G-Power 600
Shun Life Force 50 percent
"Ingram!" Shun said
"Ability Activate! Divine Light!" Baron exclaimed
I saw that the ability was used on Ingram. Of course! It allows a Bakugan to brawl once more! We could use all of the help we can get.
Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, and Waylight G-Power 3680
"Huh? What the..." Shun asked
"Divine Light is an awesome Haos only ability that resurrects any defeated Bakugan." Baron explained
"Pretty awesome indeed. Thanks Baron." Shun replied
"I have to agree" I added in
"At least I can do for saving my sister. I guess you forgot that there was a Haos battler on our side too." Baron told Volt
"Let's go Ingram. Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" Shun yelled
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, and Waylight G-Power 4280
I need to make sure Volt doesn't lose his partner unlike Shadow Prove, even though that was funny.
"Alright!" Baron said
"Game over Volt!" Shun added in
"Now that was a lucky save and it's not going to win you the battle. I'll be taking the Ventus energy now. Mechanical Trap Bakugan, Haos Carlvelt!" Volt spoke
A big creature that looks similar to Mira's trap Bakugan appeared as it looks like it was ready to help Volt.
Haos Boriates and Hexstar G-Power 1300
"Ability Activate! Defuse Light!" I yelled
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, and Waylight G-Power 1100
"Ability Activate! Orion Head!" Volt shouted
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, and Waylight G-Power 500
"And now all of your abilities have been nullified. So you may just go home." Volt finished
"Great! Just great" I said
"As if Volt. Come Haos Guardian!" Baron replied
Piercian just dropped in when Baron was activating an ability card.
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, Waylight, and Piercian G-Power 850
"Ability Activate! Soliton Keeper!" Baron finished
That ability just canceled out Volt's ability! Now to finish this!
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, Waylight, and Piercian G-Power 1450
"Ability Activate! Attribute Defender!" I yelled
"I'm feeling a bit... windy. Attribute Change! Ventus!" Shadow Striker shouted
Everyone was shocked when they saw Shadow Striker changing attributes. Once Shadow Striker finished changing, she was green as in the attribute, Ventus. I saw that all of the Haos abilities changed to Ventus ones. This will be helpful.
"Too late Baron! Ability Activate! Hyper Tachyon Glow!" Volt shouted
"This is bad... not!" I replied
Boriates started to charge up his ability! We need a plan and fast or else we'll lose our partners and most of all, the Ventus Attribute Energy!
"Let's go! Gate Card, Open! Ring Zero!" Baron said
Volt's ability was negated! We can do this!
"What?! He nullified my ability!" Volt replied
"Baron! Sakura!" Shun said
"Yep!" Baron and I replied back in union
"Ability Activate!" Shun, Baron and I said at once
"Wind Power, Light Intense Impact!" Shun said first
"Sparkly Arrow!" Baron added in
"Green Nobility – Violent Winds!" Shadow Striker and I finished in
"You're going, down!" Ingram said
Shun was shocked to see Skyress instead of Shadow Striker after all three of us combined abilities.
"That's Skyress' ability!" Shun exclaimed
I saw that Volt was in shock from the abilities before he played his own.
"What?! Triple Ability Activate! Muzzle Lancer plus Cima Booster plus Tempest Arrow! Let's go Boriates!" Volt replied
This was a big call of abilities since the power levels were getting converted for the final power level to decide the winner.
"Ingram!" Shun yelled
"Nemus!" Baron added in
"Shadow Striker!" I finished in
Haos Boriates and Hexstar G-Power 1200
Ventus Master Ingram, Haos Saint Nemus, Hidden Shadow Striker, Waylight, and Piercian G-Power 1550
Boriates and Hexstar were sent back to Volt as he just stood there.
Volt Life Force Zero
We made our way back to Marucho's house, where I was on the roof with Shadow Striker on my shoulder.
"So, what will you do now Sakura?" asked Shadow Striker
"What will you do? I'm sure you still want to find a partner who suits you." I said
"I've found that partner." Said Shadow Striker
"I see." I said
"And I'm talking to her right now." Said Shadow Striker
I looked shocked as Shadow Striker said those words. Could ya blame me?
"What will you do now Sakura?" asked Shadow Striker
"I need to check on someone." I said
"Who?" asked Shadow Striker
"A friend." I said
"May I come with you then?" asked Shadow Striker
"Of course." I said
We both walked over to Grace's room, and I knocked on the door. I just hope she remembered something, but something was off when she didn't answer. I knocked again before saying:
"Grace?"
With worry getting the best of me, I picked the lock to the door, and found that she was missing!
Preview: Phoenix here, I got my mission from my friend, King Zenoheld to take the remaining attribute energies from the brawlers but before that could happen. I meet up with a Bakugan who calls himself "Deonidas." Who is this mystery Bakugan and how is he connected to some Bakugan named Leonidas and another mysterious Bakugan named Moonlight Shadow. Find out next time! Bakugan Brawl! See you soon Brawlers!
