Chapter 4: Doom Card Temptation! Meeting Dan and Drago!

The next day the girls and their doom dimension bakugan went to the park again. A bully was talking big to another familiar face. They recognized the Bully as Shuji.

"Ak it's that pig..." Mila muttered to Regulus. "You know this pig?" "He's such a big bully and such a sucky brawler." She explained. Leaf snickered at her talkative friend's comments. She recognized the other kid as Dan Kuso. "Hey look it's Dan...wonder if he has Drago yet." She muttered to her friend.

"Let's go find out!" Mila suggested. Mila's hand moved to her pocket. The doom card she got yesterday was still in there. She saw her friend move to the two bickering boys. So she followed.

"I want to fight this guy. He seems weak and pathetic!" Leonidas growled to his silver haired partner. Leaf sighed. "I'm not sure if it's worth it Leo." She said under her breath.

The dragon bakugan huffed. "Still wanna beat the living shi-" Leaf caught her bakugan in a closed fist. "Shut up Leo." She growled. "And no swearing." The Pyrus bakugan muttered a few choice words. Before going quite. The two reached Dan and the big bully.

"Oi! Pig go pick on someone your own size!" Leaf yelled at Shuji. Said boy fumed. "What did you call me!?" "He's deaf too!" Mila chided in cheerfully. She strolled besides her Attribute Opposite. "What do you girls want? Huh?" He asked. "You to jump of a cliff!" Mila said making hand gestures.

Dan chuckled slightly. "Just go home Shuji, I already beat you." Dan said. Leaf pouted slightly, she wanted to see Drago in action...then an idea popped in her head. Dan then turned to the girls. "Um who are you two?" "I'm Mila!" "The name's Leaf." "We're brawlers like you guys!" Mila said gesturing to their bakugan. While looking at Drago who was in Dan's Bakuclip.

Regulus sat comfortably in Mila's fur lined hoodie. Leonidas was on his partner's shoulder now, he didn't like being confined in her Bakuclip. Leaf looked to Shuji. Her eyes narrowed at his comment. "Little girls can't brawl."

Something inside her snapped slightly. A small growl escaped her throat. "What was that pig?" Her eye twitched slightly as she uttered those words.

"Oh snap!" Dan said backing up, he knew just how enraged girls could get. "Shuji you better take back those words." Dan said. Being the idiot he was. He didn't. He kept by that statement. "Hey Leaf, do you wanna beat this punk's butt down to the ground?" Leonidas asked. Her eye was still twitching. "Yes." Came her reply.

"Pig I challenge you to a brawl! I'll show you just how a girl brawls!" She snarled. She was taken aback by her own aggressiveness...lately she's been feeling short tempered and angry at everything. It was weird but used this rage to her advantage, by getting others to behave or back off or to pacify Mila when she gets a bit out of hand. She chucked it up as a phase. Hopefully one that would pass soon. She didn't like this side of her. But she guessed it was a necessary evil.

Shuji just laughed. "I'll beat you easily!" He boasted puffing his chest. She narrowed her eyes again. "I'll make you choke on those words. Ready to teach this guy a lesson Leonidas?" She asked the red sphere on her shoulder. "Always!" He growled, his tone matched her aggressiveness.

Dan was slightly taken aback. Another talking bakugan! And this girl's bakugan talked back! Unlike Drago, his grumpy Dragoniod who ignored Dan completely.

Mila saw the two get their gate cards out. She wanted to watch too so she pulled out her gate card.

"Field open!" They called out in union. Time slowed again and the familiar battleground formed.

"I'll show you just how good we girls are!" She declared. They each threw down a gate card. Leaf looked at her bakuclip and took out Monarus. Monarus was 260 gs her bakugan were more powerful than Mila's. She realized that quickly. She decided on Monarus. "Bakugan brawl!" She just had to spin before she threw her bakugan.

The red sphere bounced and landed on the gate card she wanted. Shuji laughed. "It's a giant Butterfly!" "Well this butterfly will burn you!" Leaf said. Shuji rolled his eyes and threw in Subterra Terrorclaw on her card non the less. 'The idiot.' Mila thought. She knew Leaf had a character card down.

The Terrorclaw was 250gs. A respectable sum of gs for now. Leaf grinned and flourished her hand. "Burn now! Gate card open! Character!" Monarus's g power doubled. Before Shuji had a chance to react. Monarus flared her wings and attacked the giant brown crab. It went down quickly. The bakugan rolled to it's owner's feet.

Leaf smiled sweetly as she caught her butterfly bakugan. "You were saying?" "Beginners luck!" He barked out with a growl. He threw a gate card down. "Gate card set! Bakugan brawl!" He threw in Subterra Saurus. It was 180. A lot weaker than Terrorclaw. Leaf decided to use Pyrus Seige for this one. She threw in Seige. "Go Pyrus Seige!" She called out.

The bakugan stood. Leonidas watched impatiently. Shuji activated an ability. It somewhat equaled the g gap. Somewhere in the back of Leaf's mind came a nagging feeling. It was telling her to use the doom card. She shook her head, she would not go that far. She didn't want that, but a part of her wanted to.

She watched as Seige brought Saurus down. She noticed the raged look on Shuji's face and smirked slightly. The bully was getting what he deserved. "Ooh that's it! This time I will take you out!"

She grabbed Leonidas. "Time to shine Leonidas!" She exclaimed. The nagging feeling returned slightly stronger this time around. She shook it off and set a gate card. "Bakugan brawl!" She threw Leonidas onto a card.

Leonidas stood. He erupted from a vortex of flames. He had three gold horns two over his ears and one in the middle of his muzzle. He had three toes on each foot. He had three fingers on each hand. His tail was long and ended in an arrow. He also had three stripes on his shins. He gave a mighty roar. His Gs was 350 just like Regulus.

He glared down at Shuji. He snarled. Shuji gulped slightly but threw in his last Bakugan Subterra Matris. Mantris' gs were 200. It was modest but paled compared to Leonidas. To add insult to injury."Gate card open! Fire fields!" Leonidas' gs rose by 50, then she activated an ability card. "Eraser blaster!" It added 100 gs to his total making him 500gs now. "Brawl!" She initiated the fight. The poor mantris didn't stand a chance. As Leonidas charged up his attack.

He released his attack. It hit Mantris dead on. The poor insect exploded then converted back into ball form. It rolled to Shuji's feet. The shock on his face was priceless. Mila had to laugh at his defeat.

The world returned to normal. Leaf had released a good amount of her rage and felt better now. "You should really watch what you say Shuji." Leaf said. He grumbled something and ran off.

Dan stood there, then smiled. "Wow you sent him packing! good job! I'm Dan Kuso by the way!" He said. Leaf smiled slightly. "As I said I'm Leaf and this is Mila." She said. "Hi again!" Said girl waved at Dan. "You're pretty good, say we should have a brawl someday!"

"You bet." She said. "Well see you later I guess!" She said running off. Mila grinned and followed her friend. Maybe this world was where they belonged. It certainly felt like so.
