A/N: So finally we've gotten to Earth! Yay, now we get into the storyline of Mechtanium Surge or I would actually call it an AU for the most part. So soon you will be meeting the cast with some more OCs, and I'll spill it right now I was unhappy with the Spectra appearance so I have my OC for that. Expect bios of all my OCs to be published very soon.
Before going on in the story, let me tell what it's actually like to go between dimensions. It's not like what you may see on TV where you're essentially just going through a tunnel of light and emerging on the other side. No, you are, for all intents and purposes, broken down into little particles across the dimensions and reconstructed on the other side.
Now, if you are a Netheian like myself, the natives of that planet may not take too kindly to a girl with blue skin and big eyes with no pupils. That is why all Castle Knights are implanted with chips to cloak us into a version of the intelligent species on that world. In the case of Earth, I looked and dressed like a normal human girl when I had finally came to. Gone was the armored suit I wore, gone was the helmet I wore that was hopefully still on Netheia.
All that was left was my decidedly human clothing: a white t-shirt with black jeans and the dog-tags that were in my family, dating all the way back to great-grandfather. My Baku-watch was destroyed, probably from the transportation, and as for Anaya, she was shaking in my pants pocket.
"Are you okay, Miss Angela?"
Dimensional transportation was not easy Anaya. The entry into a different dimension had caused her to be sealed into this ball form of her's, but she seemed to be in better shape than I was because, unlike me, she wasn't unconscious for a couple hours at the time.
"Yeah, I'm okay, Anaya but..." I looked down to my broken watch, which needed repairs, but it seemed like on Earth technology had improved far enough. "…without my watch, any chances of trying to train you go down the drain unless someone who is capable to make the repairs." As I said this, I saw some kids wearing what looked like watches that were similar to mine walking down the street towards a red-dome like structure.
"It couldn't hurt Miss Angela. They seem to be wearing the same or a similar watch to what you're wearing." She was right, so we went towards that dome-like structure, strolling inside its doors to see a crowded place with kids chattering about Bakugan like game pieces. "Miss, I'm not exactly comfortable with the idea of my people being used as playthings. Why are they being forced to battle for entertainment anyway?"
"Well, from what I can see, it's for one of two reasons. One, they're acting on feral instinct or two they're not really Bakugan. Possibly, and this is only my speculation, they're probably clones of existing Bakugan," I replied, having the same uneasy feeling as Anaya till a voice came over the monitors.
"Welcome to Bakugan Interspace. We have rebuilt and reopened with better features all waiting for you! If you are unfamiliar with Interspace we can get you all signed to enjoy all the action that we can provide for you! If you aren't new then go ahead and dive in to enjoy all the battling action that is happening right now!"
After what seemed like a couple of hours trying to orient our way around this "game," we were transported once more (which to me still wasn't very comfortable) into a virtual space extensively created for these kids to resemble a city like the one outside. Exploring the space would have been nice but my focus had to be Anaya. Her powers still perplexed me, and we haven't had anytime to calm down, at least, until now.
With a glass of water and my limited knowledge of Earth food in front of me, I was comfortable enough to talk to Anaya without fear of being listened to by outside forces. There were so many questions I could have asked her, but for now the only one of relevancy was…
"How did you come into these powers in the first place Anaya?" I asked placing Anaya on the table gently while she was chuckling.
"It's kind of funny that you should ask that, Miss Angela, because these powers aren't my own at all. They were actually given to me because of my own emergency."
"Emergency?"
Anaya shook her head or, at least, as best as a ball could do.
"It all started around the time your enemies were getting desperate and had staged one last attack. To put it simply, I was nothing more than just a vagabond, perfectly content with exploring the worlds Gundalia, Netheia, New Vestroia. My dream was to see them all and to make friends with all of natives of each planet. At the time, Netheia was the one place that I spent the most time in. The Bakugan and all of the outlying villages were so nice to me, most of them even helped with trying to get off your planet. I was just about to leave for my next destination but I was careless, as I had ended up in a major zone of fighting.
Two stray pieces of metal had ended up hitting me in the back hard. The first had ripped a hole in one of my wings rendering me flightless. The second had missed my spine luckily, but severed an artery making me bleed profusely as a result. Both of these had brought me down and the pain was immense, but I couldn't afford to stay exposed anymore, so I hid in cave trying to regain my energy so I could at least walk. After about three days, I thought I was at least strong enough to afford a walk down to a nearby stream for a drink, but my old injuries hit me hard. I collapsed in pain yelling for help, knowing it wouldn't come. My vision went blurry, but someone did save me. I never know how they did it, but my wing was repaired and my bleeding had all but stopped.
Miss Angela, whoever that was gave me back my life and so I thought maybe by helping as much as I can but…"
"You were corrupted, weren't you? Turned into that massive beast and our forces found you before I did," I said, finishing the very memory that led up to our situation right now. I sighed, my head in my hands, frustrated with our situation, "At the very least I have an understanding of how your powers came to be, but we still need to figure the other points. Why are you now a dual-attributed Bakugan? Why do we have this telepathic link? It's all very confusing, and I feel our questions could only be answered if you try and identify your benefactor," I said, sighing only to see a large man alongside what seemed to be a smaller kid with blond hair.
Gesturing to have Anaya jump in my pocket, I kept her away from those two who were clear to make steps toward me. I just kept eating to maintain some sense of normality and to hide the fact that I saw both of them.
"Well…well look who we have, Jack! Man, these noobs seem to just appear all over the place."
The younger one spoke right after him. "Yeah, and it seems like it's up to us to put them in their place, starting with this one right here, this girl. Oh wait, she's not really here to battle. She's like all of the girl battlers, waiting for their team so they all go off and play together…" On and on these insults went and as much as I wanted to punch them in the face I couldn't until finally I snapped.
"Okay, for the record, I don't know who you two think you are, but would you both stop and shut up! The two of you are getting on my nerves!" I yelled, leaving my table behind. That alone only got a laugh from the smaller of the two boys.
"Heh…look at her walking away like some kind of coward. I guess she's doesn't have what it takes to stand up to us."
Miss Angela, it's not worth it. You're already in enough trouble as it is. The last thing we need is a way for the Castle Knights to find us!
I didn't listen; maybe it was my pride but what came out of my mouth next was suppressed by a passer-by. "Alright you two, you know the rules! No battling newcomers until their twenty-four hour grace period is over." At first, I could not put the voice to a face that I had remembered... but the navy hair...my eyes widened as I saw those grey eyes.
"Kian?" The two guys finally left and I had finally got my first smile since my running from Netheia.
A/N: So interesting enough for you guys now. Angela and her pride is very much reminiscent like Marty McFly in Back to the Future. Obscure movie reference aside make sure you guys review I would really love to hear from you guys.
