"Gate card set" we threw our gate cards down "Shun which one of us are you going to use?" Skyress asked, I knew I was going to use her, Drago would want to fight masquerade himself for taking his partner, "you Skyress Drago's going to fight masquerade." I told her before she jumped into my hand. "Come on Shun I haven't got all day." Komba sighed impatiently. "Ready Skyress" she nodded "bakugan brawl!" we yelled throwing our bakugan head on towards each other I knew Skyress was 10g's weaker than Harpus so she had to stand first if we were going to win as easily as I wanted "bakugan stand!" I called. She stood before Harpus and Harpus's ball bounced off Skyress's wing which she used to cover her stomach. "Bakugan stand!" Komba commanded, Harpus stood holding her hands above her head in the style of a pirouette her wings spread out to her sides "hey it's Skyress long time no see girl." Harpus greeted her "you're looking good Granma." She taunted "Harpus it's been awhile I wish I could say it's a pleasure." "Let's make this short and sweet Skyress we've got no time to waste" she nodded "ability activate feather storm!" Harpus's power went from up 100g's and once she sent the attack she went head first towards Skyress to attack her "ability activate green nobility sore violent winds" I commanded holding my ability card out. Skyress's power doubled and she went head on towards Harpus, Harpus realising that she couldn't beat Skyress's power stopped and hugged herself "I'm in trouble." Skyress hit her and she was instantly returned to her ball "what? We didn't even get a chance to battle." Komba complained. When the time freeze ended Marucho continued running and I had to stop him before he ran into Komba "that was so unfair you cheated." Komba whined before running of to tell masquerade that he lost. "Let's keep moving we've lost enough time as it is." I told Marucho before we carried on in the direction Komba ran off in.
Dan's POV
I had woken up about 15 minutes ago but I was still disorientated so I couldn't really understand what masquerade was saying so far I had gathered was that there were intruders about 4 of them and they were closing in on masquerade's observation room, where I was being held, I tried to talk but I was so out of it that I couldn't all I could do was hope that the intruders were my friends and they were here to save me. If they were my friends I hoped that Shun was there as well I really needed to apologise again see if he was ready to forgive me being kidnapped gives you a lot of time to think and I know that Shun was the best friend I ever had and I will beg him to forgive me and won't stop till he does no matter how long it takes. I groaned the restraints that were holding my arms behind my back were rubbing against my wrists and were starting to cause rope burn "well look whose awake I admit I'm impressed that you're conscious." Chan lee praised but there was an undertone of sarcasm. I swallowed and took a deep breath "don't make me tell Joe that you're here." I mocked Chan liked Joe and I knew that if I got her mad enough she would become irrational and I could trick her into letting me go "shut up I'm not going to fall for your trick's Dan" she spat out my name as if it were poison. She was about to say something else when masquerade came back in tailed by Julio and Klaus who were hanging their heads in what I presumed to be shame. He was mumbling about how embarrassing it was to have two failures work for him and that they weren't even fit to be called servants. They sat down next to me and were scowling at masquerade "trouble in paradise." I joked earning a glare from them all "be quite Dan this doesn't involve you, well not directly at least we still have at a good 20 minutes or so till they get here." He muttered that last part under his breath but I still caught it and relief flooded me when I realised that it was my friends that had infiltrated his hideout. There was a loud bang and my gaze was directed at the door I saw a panting kid looking at masquerade "I'm so sorry but Shun beat me and I had to run back here before he could capture me" I recognised his voice when he spoke but I couldn't place it I was still far to groggy to fully focus I was so bad that I didn't even register the fact that he said Shun until they were in the midst of an argument.
Shuns POV
We managed to track Komba all the way to a set of huge double doors that towered over us I could hear some talking behind the door but it was all muffled. Suddenly there was a loud slam like something or someone had been hit and Marucho jumped and rather humiliating for him grabbed my leg, when the shock of the slam faded he laughed his nervous laugh and stepped back, always nice to add a bit of hummer to a serious situation, I thought a small smile passed over my face but I quickly erased it and pushed the doors open.
"Morning masquerade fancy seeing you here but since you are how about a battle? Winner gets Dan." I asked smugly I was sure I would win "why of cause Shun what do you think 1 on 1?" he asked me back I nodded and pulled my field card out I glanced at Marucho and asked him "do you want to watch the battle?" he nodded furiously and stepped beside me. "Field open!" we yelled and the swirl of light that came every battle returned I had been so consumed with beating Komba during my last battle that I hadn't taken the time to enjoy it.
sorry it took so long to get this chapter up I've been so busy with school that I haven't had the time
