A/N: Well here is the first chapter to my newest story. I really hope you guys like this and for the time being you will be introduced to the Bakugan Calina who…well I'll let you guys read for the time being
"Why are we here, Calina? If you are going to be a bearer of the Perfect Core energy, you should be training every moment you have," the stupid spirit scolded me over and over again as I dove into the water and spiraled out, creating a tall spire of water.
Sometimes I wished I could not see this spirit because technically she was supposed to be dead. She was a white one born without an attribute, contaminated with infinity core energy when she had accidently collided into it. Now, she is the perfect core, and through circumstances I can't quite explain yet, she's a very, very annoying part of me who could not appreciate the "art" I love to make with water.
"Have you ever considered the fact that this is my training?" I asked, freezing the spire solid then slicing it down bit by bit just for the hell of it "Seriously Wayvern ever since you've chose me to carry your powers, my powers over the water have gotten better and better. Hell, I can even do this." Turning into water itself I reformed as a completely different Bakugan I've heard on a planet called Netheia with bird wings and green feathers before returning to my normal self.
Wayvern shook her head imaginary head disapprovingly, and I sighed laying back on the beach defeated, letting my wings spread across the sand. "You're limiting yourself, Calina. The Perfect Core Energy is capable of much more than amplifying the abilities that you are born with. The more proficient you are with absorbing attributes, the more ready you will become!"
"For what, Wayvern?" I shouted angrily at her. "In case you haven't noticed, New Vestroia is at peace. Everyone knows the likeliness of a catastrophic event occurring is as likely as the Bakugan fighting amongst our new human neighbors!" Now I'm done. I've officially marked myself as a complete psychopathic loner who has nothing better to do than to play with water and talk to herself. At the very least, I've shut her up and can now enjoy the beach in front of me. That was, I could, until the distinct flapping of other wings above me disturbed my peace again.
As I said, times have changed for New Vestroia, mostly for the better, as a leadership council was formed. This phoenix in front me, with her showy feathers and sea green body feathers, was named Skyress and—as annoying as Wayvern was living in my body—she ranked up there in terms of annoyance, berating me for my "art," always saying that it was destructive or it scared other Bakugan who came to this beach every single time.
"What do you want, Skyress? If it's about how my next piece of work is going to scare more Bakugan, then let them know not to come here if it scares them so much," I said with distaste and as much venom as I could muster before she would inevitably begin to lecture me on my mischief that would lead to her to be taken aback but surprisingly enough also silence her at the same time, which again made me happy.
"Well aren't you the preemptive one? But no, not this time, Calina," she began, pausing for a moment to look at me with serious eyes and a small smile "Actually the other five heads of the Council and I talked about wanting you to join us."
My eyes widened as my wings kicked up some sand but then I became wary. "Why?" was all I could muster because if you were me, you grew up in an environment where suspicion was the one constant that you had to keep up.
"You may be an annoyance to us, Calina, but we see raw talent in the way you control your powers. Even though we may seem to disapprove of your 'art,' we want to help you out at the very least and refine what you are capable of," she explained, but I could already hear Wayvern chattering in my ear to take the offer while I stayed silent "So are you willing to come along, Calina?"
I still stayed silent; being a loner was in my nature from the very beginning so to start making friends would be one of the most awkward moments I would experience. "Can you at the very least humor me by saying you'll think about it?" she pressed.
"I'll think about it. There. You happy?" And off she went, blasting sand upon her take off.
Night came and once again I got to enjoy my meal of some nearby fish and some vegetables by happily eating underneath the moonlit sky alone. I saw Wayvern sitting out on the edge of the water looking a little depressed. Maybe I should go apologize, I thought to myself walking out to her as she looked down into the water. "Look, I'm sorry about snapping at you earlier today. Can we just bury the hatchet?"
I didn't get a response from her as she stared blankly, and I sighed sitting next to her. It seemed like an eternity before she spoke, not to me but to the pristine waters that made up the beach that I lived on.
"How long?" she asked as I woke up "How long has it been since I have become a spirit? How long will it be before I experience a touch from a living being?" she inquired softly but as much as I wanted to put a hand on her shoulder to let her cry, it would only reinforce what she already knew herself to be, so I just didn't say anything until she finished the next morning.
The next day Skyress was in the air once more, and I was on the ocean once more, doing my sea acrobatics until I just couldn't stand it anymore and landed on the shore breathing heavily till I managed to look Skyress in the eye. "So Calina, have you made a decision yet? Do you want to come along and draw out your true potential hidden among your abilities?"
I first looked to Wayvern, who nodded, and then back to Skyress, who immediately took to the skies. Being an Aquos Bakugan I decided that it would be faster to follow her via the ocean as my legs fused and my wings disappeared into my back making it ideal for aquatic travel. After speeding along for what seemed like a couple of minutes, we had finally arrived at a large island in the middle of the ocean where the Council had made the place their home.
I was the first to touch on shore as I kept my wings retracted but my legs returned to their land state. Now, when you think of the Council, you think of very elite Bakugan. Bakugan that have years of experience and are very stiff and professional.
You don't think of them sucking face on a beach that was supposedly "private."
Even Skyress who was the head of their little group was embarrassed, breaking up this little make out session. "Preyas!" She shouted angrily at him tossing up sand at the couple.
"What?" he whined, pulling away from his girl, an Aquos Bakugan which happened to be Elfin, one of the most annoying girls to ever visit my beach "Oh, I see you've brought
along another Bakugan."
The Preyas species of Bakugan were generally known to be—what's the word I'm looking for? — oh yes, up there. Usually, they were known for being theatrical and outlandish and as for his little girlfriend, she was equally obnoxious. Some would confuse the Elfin species for being Ventus, and you would not be too far off, though I wonder how long it would be before we would end up seeing kids from these two.
Skyress touched her wing to her head in annoyance and possibly anger. "If you nothing better to contribute, then why don't you go off and check on the candidates?" she offered and the two scurried off for fear of her wrath before looking to me. "I'm sorry you had to see that, Calina, but why don't we keep going? There's still more of the island and more of the heads of the Council to meet."
As Skyress gave us a better tour of the island, I was impressed by what they were able to construct this island into. Each section had its own feel for each attribute as we met the
Haos head, Tigrera who was as disciplined and dangerous as her reputation had led on to be. When we found, she was training with her claws in high-speed maneuvers, slashing the trees in the forest. "Ah Skyress, it's good to see you again. Are we going to see the new candidates soon enough?" she asked in a surprisingly composed tone that did not leak out any fury.
"No, not quite yet. They're due in the next three days, though," she replied, then pushed me along in front of the intimidating white tigress clad in armor. "This is Calina."
"Ah yes, our little troublemaker who thinks her art isn't at all dangerous," Tigrerra remarked, giving me a small intimidating look. "I assume she's here to try and changeher ways."
I gulped, taking one step back. "Uh…yes ma'am." Ancient Warrior of Aquos above, please let me live through this encounter, I prayed, but as we talked she turned out to be nicer than I had thought to be. We then had to move on to meet the next head as we went to the center of the forest.
"I would allow you to meet the Darkus head Calina but he's all the way out with the Vestals and his partner. And as for the Pyrus head…" she began, looking down a little sadly. "We don't have one yet for the time being. That spot is saved for a very special friend of ours if he ever decides to return to New Vestroia. So now you met almost everyone on this beach, I'll bet you are eager to begin training, right?"
"Isn't that why I came here?" I answered, sitting on a nearby rock while Skyress sat on a self-made wooden perch.
"Well, you're not going to just yet. First you're going to need a partner…"
