Chapter 6: Revelations part 1
CRASH!
The sound of the thick, metal door, as it flew right out of the Doom Dimension's prison cell. A big man with a beard walked inside the largest room of the whole prison.
"Hello there, my old friend" it said, staring at the man through the crystal ball where he was sealed
"Pardon me if I hadn't come earlier. I had to deal with things first" he explained
"No need to apologize, now, get on with it. It's not very roomy here" the man nodded and said
"Anu sera, revolsera, expengi la merseda, malriferiis, nown" and with that, the crystal ball lifted and it shattered into a million pieces. Coming out of the ball was none other than,
"Welcome back, my old friend, Mag Mel" he said
That's right, Mag Mel, the enemy who tried to steal Code Eve from Drago. Thought that he was dead? Wrong, even with the power of the Code Eve, Drago and Dan weren't able to completely destroy him. At the last battle, Mag Mel was able to release a part of his body and escape it into space. With him, thought to be destroyed, that part roamed into the galaxy and it slowly regenerates. Eventually, the six legendary warriors noticed it and sealed him inside a crystal ball. They locked it into the very heart of the Doom Dimension, where he was kept hidden.
Well, not anymore
-0-
The noise of the crowds' cheering, banged in her ears. It was a winter's special tournament for the BakuInterLine, so the place is totally packed. 20 battles passed and the winners were...
Dan Kuso – 1st place and remained as the BakuInterLine champion
Anubias – 2nd place
Shun Kazami – 3rd place
Keith Clay – 4th place
Ace grit – 5th place
'Well, at least that's over; I can't stand this kind of noise anymore. How could they stand something like this?' Runo thought to herself as she exited the coliseum and heading to the limo
Naga chuckled a bit 'Well, I think that these people a deaf' he joked
'I guess so' she said, laughing a bit.
The whole gang went back to New Vestroia in the old 2-in-1 truck, where Mira, Ace, Shun, Baron, Marucho and Dan used to stay when they were saving New Vestroia from the Vestals (reference in Bakugan season 2, Bakugan: New Vestroia) to celebrate their success (well, it's pretty normal for Dan though). The whole party was really fun, until something unexpected happened. The whole room was lighted with blinding light, and everything/everyone vanished. Fluttering their eyes, they saw that they were inside the great council room of the six legendary warriors.
"Welcome back, my friends," said Apollonir glancing at everyone, but stared more on Runo and so is the other Legendary Warriors
"Hey Guys!" exclaimed Dan "so good to see ya, How are you guys doin'?"
There was silence for a while, until Lars Lion spoke up
"Battle Brawlers, we bring terrible news" everyone was a tad bit surprised
"What is it, Lars Lion?" asked Drago, somewhat concerned
"Mag Mel and King Zenohelm, has returned" loud gasps came out of everyone's mouths
"H-How could that be?" asked Percival
"Yeah, King Zenohelm died and Mag Mel was destroyed, right?" added Tristar
"Unfortunately, you didn't fully succeed" answered Frosch
"How did this happen?" asked Drago, his eyes were burning, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists
"Before your battle with him, he transported one of his eyes and sends it off to the galaxy, making you have the advantage and giving him a handicap. That eye has the ability to regenerate, if something bad happens to his body he can easily regenerate and be back in his original form, thus making him be reborn" started Exedra
"We noticed it and took that eye; before it could regenerate we sealed it away inside a crystal ball. However, unfortunately, King Zenohelm survived the destruction of his ship and might have known something about Mag Mel. He came here and used a reversal spell and he freed Mag Mel, and both of them escaped to an unknown galaxy" finished Oberus
"But, why didn't you guys just destroyed the eye?" asked Preyas
"Because we can't" a shining ball of light appeared behind them "No one can"
"Code Eve!" everyone exclaimed
"What do you mean by, 'no one can'?" asked Shun
"No one can destroy him" she said "Even if I lend my power to Drago, it wouldn't be enough."
"Well, what are we supposed to do? I mean, he's back and that guy Zenohelm is with him too" said Jake
"That is why we called you here" Apollonir explained, "We have found someone who knew the plans of King Zenohelm and Mag Mel"
"Really?" startled Paige "Who?"
"You may come out now" Lars Lion said, and behind them, a boy with blonde hair, with orange glasses, long cape-like brown sleeveless jacket, black long sleeved undershirt, black pants, V-cut white T-shirt with orange linings, black gloves, and a gold plate necklace came out a portal from another dimension
Everyone's eyes went saucers and their jaws hung open. As for Runo, her face was completely red as she remembered the 'thing' that just happened between them on the other night when she got lost for the second time in the forest
"About time you guys called me, I was getting bored," he said, approaching the Bakugan brawlers. He looked at Runo, she saw him stare at her and blushed madly and looked away. He just smirked
'What is he doing here? What is he-'
"You again!" Dan exclaimed pointing a finger at him and thus interrupting her thoughts
"Yeah, it's me. Got any problem with that?" he said
"Please, no arguing," Clayf began and they followed but the boys continued to give him death glares, where, he just ignored (totally unaffected) "This young man knows the plans of our current enemies, so I suggest that you all should be giving him a warm welcome."
"Also, his knowledge is very needed in this" added Apollonir "Do I make myself clear?"
No one answered for a moment
...
...
...
"I said, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Apollonir" they all said in unison (except for the blonde kid)
"Good, now, off you go" Lars Lion spoke and soon, they were transported back to the truck with the blonde kid
"Now that we are all here" began Keith "Could you please tell us that matter at hand?"
"Sure" said the blonde "The time that you guys were battling King Zenohelm was, what you were really battling was nothing but a robot. A very good look alike robot, he was just testing you guys, he wanna get information on how really strong you guys are"
"Then, how did he know about Mag Mel?" asked Dan
"Prof. Clay, found him" he said, looking at Keith and Mira Clay, then back to them "Seems that your father wasn't searching only for Bakugan. He found a text and in it was about Mag Mel. He told it to Zenohelm and instead of taking over New Vestroia he changed his plan to free Mag Mel from his prison, so that both of them would work together to do something"
"And what is that something?" asked Mira
"I don't know," he plainly said
"HEY! THE LEGENDARY WARRIORS SAID THAT YOU KNEW THEIR PLAN! SO HOW COULD JUST SAY THAT 'YOU DON'T KNOW'?" Dan yelled at him
"I said, I knew their plan, but I didn't said that I exactly knew their plan," he said, even though he was wearing thick orange glasses they could see that he just shot a death glare at Dan, and it made him froze
"Well, at least we knew one thing. That those guys are teaming up to do something, which I know that isn't very good," said Baron
"But that's still not enough, we need more information so that we could put a stop to their plan" added Lync
"That's why you'll be needing this" the blonde said and pulled out a black card with a skull symbol at the middle, from his jacket
"A DOOM CARD?" everyone exclaimed
"How'd you get that? I thought that all the doom cards were destroyed," asked Marucho, startled
"Well, I save the best for myself" he said, crossing his legs and twirling his hair. There's that habit again, now the Vexos were really suspicious
"What are we going to do with that?" asked Shun
"We're going to the Doom Dimension to go to another prison. Inside, is a Bakugan that was trapped inside for ages. He is wise and strong, and knew more than you will ever know" he explained, "So, if you wanna take on this mission then you'll be listening to me. So, what do you guys say?"
There was silence for a couple of minutes but they all just nodded their heads in agreement
"Good, everyone should be ready in five minutes and everyone should be outside the truck. I'll meet you guys there- Oh! By the way, bring all your Bakugan," he said and headed out the living room, but before he could take a step outside...
"Uhmm... Hey!" Runo stood and called out to him. He stopped and looked back to his shoulder "What's your name?"
"I told you guys before, my name doesn't concern you"
"But, we could at least... have something to call you" she said. He paused for a while and turned his head
"Kai" turning away and leaving the room, he left the brawlers who looked surprised at Runo. She actually made him to say what his name was (well, not exactly his name), which it took them like hours just to persuade him to say his name; as of her, it was just like a snap of a finger.
5 minutes passed and everyone was outside the truck with their old and new Bakugans, even their Bakugan traps. Kai took out his Doom card and threw it in front of them. A large gaping black hole was created. They all went inside, and something really surprised them. All their bakugans are now in their true form, which also made them happy. Now, they were riding on their backs, flying through the dark world. It was not long when...
'g-g-g-gah...' Naga began moaning, as if he was being stabbed by a million daggers
'Naga, what is it?' Runo thought to him, sounding very worried
'GGRRRRR-AAAHHHHHHH!' Naga roared. Runo's silver and black bracelet began glowing with blinding light and it was not long that Naga too, was turned into his original form "Oh no"
"Naga... what happened?" she said as they landed on the ground and as she slowly walks toward Naga, jumping down from Skyress' back
"I forgot to tell you guys" Kai began "In the Doom Dimension, no matter what form that Bakugan is, it will surely appear"
"N-Naga-"
"NAGA!" Drago yelled and hit Naga with a fireball, sending him to tumble down.
"Drago, what are you doing?" Dan was frantically worried at Drago for his sudden action
"Naga, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" he yelled at him again. He was about to throw another fireball at him but...
"Naga! Dodge him!" Runo shouted and Naga did what he was told
"Runo!" Dan yelled "What are you doing?"
"He's my... my... guardian Bakugan" she said, approaching Naga. Gasps were heard from the others
"So be it" said Drago "Dan, I wanna fight"
"But Drago"
"I WANNA FIGHT!" he yelled, Dan thought for a while and nodded his head.
"Battle field open!" just then, Runo's left wrist lighted and ability cards were in it
"Bakugan Brawl! Pyrus Titanium Dragonoid stand!" Pyrus Titanium Dragonoid is now in the battlefield with 1200 Gs
"Naga... I WILL AVENGE WAVERN!" he roared
"Milady Runo... you don't have to" Naga said, concerned
"No Naga, they're challenging us, and I never back down when it comes to brawling," she said, filled with determination
"As you wish" Naga said and turned into his ball form.
"Bakugan Brawl! Naga stand!" Naga spun and went into the battlefield with... 3000 Gs!
"3-3-3000 Gs? How's that possible?" stuttered Dan
"You must be Drago, I apologize, I didn't know that I have inflicted a deep wound in your heart because of my past actions," Naga said, bowing
"Shut up! I'm not gonna fall for that!" Then the battle begins, they started inflicting critical hits at one another. Even though, Drago's strong, he can't seem to reduce Naga's G power below 3000 for some reason.
"I'm really sorry, I really am! I didn't mean to have my dear sister be killed" Naga tried to reason him out, now, they're having an aerial battle
"Enough Naga! Never in a million years will I ever forgive you for what you've done!" he roared and hit Naga with laser cannons
"STOP IT DRAGO!" Runo yelled, as the sight of Naga, being thrown off to the rocky mountain "He's hurt in his heart already!"
"HE DOESN'T HAVE A HEART!" Drago was furious, Naga, who wanted to conquer the world and killed his own sister, Wavern (his love interest). Whom he defeated and believed to be dead, is now in front of him. It'll be hard for Naga to ask forgiveness with this one
"SHUT UP! You don't know him! He's deeply wounded and his heart hasn't been fully healed, I won't let you deepen that wound in his heart even further!" Runo shouted as loud as she can, now, tears are coming down from her eyes. Drago wouldn't listen and kept on attacking Naga relentlessly, how could he forgive him so easily? This time, he was out of control, he formed a blazing ball in his hands, as size as a meteor, he was about to throw it at him but lost control and that ball went to the other side. IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT RUNO!
CRASH!
"RUNO!" The others yelled, as the smoke cleared, Naga's wing wrapped Runo securely. Naga just saved her, but it left Naga a burn on his right hind leg
"Lady Runo, are you alright?" asked Naga, he was more worried about her than he was. She nodded and noticed his burned leg, it alarmed her
"Naga! Your leg!"
"No worries Milady, your safety is far more important than mine" not waiting for her to answer he turned and faced Drago, his golden eyes were burning. "You have crossed the line. I allow you to hit me with all your might for I know that I have caused you pain, but... how dare you hurt my lady Runo! Unforgivable! I will show you no mercy!"
This time, without any ability card, Naga was able to use his powers, namely the one that he could stop time. Dan and Drago tried with all their might but failed, Naga is just so strong, stronger than before, and even stronger than Mag Mel. Drago was trapped, he was pinned to the ground with Naga stepping in his head, Dan tried to use ability cards, but Naga forged a spell that can nullify any kind of ability cards. The others were alarmed, they tried to help Drago but Naga just beat them all at once. It was at that point when Naga now has the advantage to kill Drago, but Runo remembered what had happened to Tigrerra, she was killed and it was like this scene. She snapped and ran towards the two dragons. Naga opened his mouth to release his final blow, and felt a small body wrapped around his uninjured leg
"No more Naga... no more" Runo pleaded and cried. Naga followed and released Drago
"Forgive me, lady Runo. Forgive me" Naga pleaded and returned her hug by wrapping his wings around her.
Drago stood up, he was still filled with anger, so tried to tackle him but Kai leaped up and stabbed his fingers with rhythm on his head. Thus, turning Drago back to his ball form
"Man, you are guys are so dramatic. We could've been there by now," Kai said, with a sleeping Drago in his hand. Dan approached and Kai gave Dan back his Bakugan
"What did you do to him?" he asked very worried
"I put him to sleep in his ball form, isn't that obvious?" he said sarcastically. He glanced at the sobbing Runo, they may not see it, but his eyes were filled with worry. He shove it off and remained his cool composure. "It's getting late, it'll be dangerous and swarms of wild Bakugan will appear in any moment. We'll camp there," he said, pointing up the mountain.
The others approached Runo; she was ready for their million-dollar question. "You can fill them up later, but first we need shelter"
They nodded and went up the mountain; the event that just happened was too fast they didn't quite know what to say. Up the mountain was a large cave where it was big enough for all their bakugans to get inside, they were in a crystal cavern. They sat down; all eyes were on the blue haired girl who was trying to cure the silver dragon's burned leg. They began their questions and she has no choice but to answer. Surprisingly, no one made side comments. When they were done, there was silence for a few heartbeats
"I don't understand what happened to you guys but," Kai broke the silence, his arms and legs were crossed and he was sitting on a large crystal. "What I know, is that what is done, is done. You can't change the past. However, it's either you run away from it, or learn from it. Take my advice and stop looking back, and continue to walk ahead" he stood up "Get some rest, I'll be on watch"
No one spoke, but they did what they were told. They all went to sleep to clear their heads and try to make a decision.
Runo can't sleep so she slipped quietly out of Naga and walked out. Even though they called it a doom dimension, it sure is peaceful and has a lot of stars here. She felt the mood to sing
Someday, you're gonna realize
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
By then, I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere, even if I can't
I know, you don't really see my world,
You think, you're the last guy on earth,
Well, I've got news for you,
I know that I'm not that strong,
But it won't take long,
Won't take long
'cause...
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way, I wanted you to need me,
Someday, someone's gonna take your place...
One day, I'll forget about you,
You'll see, I won't even miss you,
Someday...
Someday...
As Runo sung, she didn't noticed that someone was actually watching her
Right now, I know that you can't tell,
I'm down, and I'm not doing well,
But one day these tears,
They will all, would dry
I won't have to cry,
Sweet goodbye...
'cause...
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way, I wanted you to need me,
Someday, someone's gonna take your place...
Oh ooh
One day, I'll forget about you,
You'll see, I won't even miss you,
Someday...
I know someone's gonna be there,
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way, I wanted you to need me,
Someday, someone's gonna take your place...
One day, I'll forget about you,
You'll see, I won't even miss you,
Someday...
Someday...
Aahh... yeah... yeah...
She shot open her eyes as she heard someone clapping
"What an angelic voice you have" he said, smiling
"Y-Y-Y-You're there all this time?" she said, her face heating up
"Yeah" he approached her "Can't sleep?"
She nodded and looked up at the stars "Keith..."
"hmm?"
"Do you hate me?"
"Why would I hate you?"
"Because of what happened... don't you disgust me?"
"Not even a bit" she turned to him and gave him a confused look "Hey, I was also your enemy before, right? Nevertheless, in the end, we still became friends. Your situation is no different from us"
"But... How about this, would you still say those things even if I tell you that I'm one of you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm a Vestal" his eyes were wide. She told him everything that her parents told her, except for the part about Basilisk. She pleaded to him to make it a promise that he would never tell anyone, until they, themselves find out about it. He sighed and said...
"Alright, I promise. I won't tell anyone"
"Thanks Keith" she needed comfort and he just gave it to her. So she hugged him, Keith was blushing furiously but gave in and returned the hug. After that, they went back inside and went back to sleep.
Meanwhile... someone came out from the shadows, his fists were clenching and was gritting his teeth, his amethyst eyes were burning like the flames from hell.
"I'll let you pass this time, but the next time any of you guys touch her, I'll make sure that you're in hell"
