Chapter 8: Behind the mask {Part 1}
Previously on 'A Haos' Light'
The brawlers aren't getting along with Runo. With Naga alive and is by Runo's side, they have started to doubt Runo. Is she planning to betray them? Is she controlled by this Bakugan? Or is it something else...
Well, whatever it is, her bond with her friends is slowly breaking...
Now, they have entered a ruin were, by a mysterious fellow named Kai, said that someone inside will help them reveal a mystery about their enemy. Surprisingly, they have encountered one of their former foes, Masquerade. It seems that Masquerade is in tabs with this place; also, it looks like he's friends with Kai.
Once they went inside the ruin, they saw a giant white tiger. Its neck and paws are cuffed to the wall. It lies on the centre of a floating magic circle.
"My name is Tyos..."
~Present time...
"Pfft, so this is the Bakugan Battle Brawlers?" the tiger began "what a sad bunch. I have changed my mind, I will never tell these children that valuable information" Tyos turned his back on them
"WHAT? WAIT A MINUTE!" Dan shouted "Who you callin' kids? I'm 16 and a half!"
Everyone sweat dropped
"How come you changed your mind?" Shun retorted "We are THE Bakugan Battle Brawlers! We have saved Bakugan for countless times!"
"It's not that you have saved Vestroia, Neathia, Gundalia, or any world," he turned his head "None of you would last a second on this one"
"WHAT THE?"
"Please Sir Tyos, please tell us" Alice pleaded, "Please don't make our journey go to waste"
"No"
"But-"
"No"
"GRR! HEY MAN! WHAT'S WITH YOU? DAMMIT!" Shadow is now fired up, he took out his Bakugan "I'm not gonna leave this place empty handed! I'm gonna battle you!"
"So am I"
"Me too"
"I'm not gonna let you guys have the fun" Lync, Volt, Anubias and Keith joined in
"Bakugan Br-" just when they were about to throw their Bakugan, a face of a woman suddenly appeared before them
"Boo"
"WAHH!" the boys turned cold, even their Bakugan and yes, even Keith
"HAHAHAHAHHA! You should've seen your faces! It was priceless!" the woman cried laughing
"Rina, you shouldn't have done that," Kai plainly said
"Heehee, how about you Kai? I wanna see what you look like when you're scared"
"Don't even think about it, none of your tricks works anyway"
"Aww... you're always so serious, you're no fun," she pouted
"W-Who might you be?" asked a frightened Mira. Who wouldn't be scared? A girl with blonde hair, a little lighter than Kai's, wearing a kimono is standi- oops sorry, is floating right in front of you! And I mean it, floating, she has nothing but a whisp of white smoke as her lower body!
"My name is Rina" she introduced herself
"What are you doing here Rina?" asked Masquerade
"I was bored and when I heard that the brawlers are here, well, I might find-" she was trailed off when she took a glance at the boy with white hair and darkish skin. Her aura suddenly changed
"KYAHH!" she squealed "I FOUND HIM!"
"W-w-what are you talking about, Rina?" Anubias asked
"TOTALLY MY TYPE!" she suddenly hugged Ren by the neck, an aura of flowers and hearts were surrounding them
"WHAAT?" Everyone exclaimed, the others sweatdropped
Ren, just couldn't believe it, sure, Rina's a little cute, but just look at her. She's a ghost for crying out loud! Or maybe that's what they think. He's dead speechless. Masquerade started laughing his heart out, Kai just let out a chuckle and Tyos... well, he's just not interested in this
"Well, at least you guys coming here wasn't a waste after all" Masquerade wiped a tear from his eye "I wanna thank you guys for entertaining Rina"
"DON'T MAKE OUR JOURNEY RELATE WITH THIS SITUATION!" Fabia shouted
"Well, whatever, you may all go now" Tyos said
"Please sir Tyos" Runo was the one who spoke "We really need your help-"
"I am not going to repeat myself again!" Tyos is getting mad "Leave now!"
"WHY?" Runo can't keep up with her innocent side, no, this is the only way she can do this "You were the one who came to me in the first place! We risked our lives just to get to this damn place! And now you're gonna say that we should leave like nothing even happened?"
"Runo, that's-" Shun tried to stop her but it was no use, no one can stop Runo when she's like this
"A friend once told me... that every effort you make means something, if you think that nothing will happen in the end, then that is like forgetting that you're even alive! We all have goals in our lives and we do everything to achieve it! We Bakugan Brawlers, our goal is to defeat those bastards and bring peace once again! Why can't you understand that?"
'every effort you make means something, if you think that nothing will happen in the end, then that is like forgetting that you're even alive'
Those words echoed in Tyos' head. 'Those words came from me... and only she knows...'
"Who's you're friend?" he asked
"What?"
"Who told you that?"
"M-my friend, no, my sister, Tigrerra" she said proudly
"Tig...re..rra" Tyos mumbled. Kai obviously noticed, if his guess is right, then this 'Tigrerra' would have some kind of connection with Tyos.
Tyos closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Finally, with a deep sigh, he said...
"Very well, I may perhaps reconsider"
"What?" Dan said, not fully understanding
"Rina!" Tyos called out
"Yes, sir Tyos?"
"Show these children to their rooms," he turned to the brawlers "it's getting late, you may all stay here for the night and tomorrow... we may discuss more about your foe"
"So that means..."
"You're finally gonna tell us?" he just nodded
"ALRIGHT!" they all cheered
"Thank you so much for convincing him Runo" Marucho was the one who boldly said it to Runo
"Me? No, I-I didn't even... your welcome" giving up already? The others soon followed, thanking Runo. Except for a few, namely, Drago and Fabia
After all that chit-chat, the others followed Rina, who was trying to get as much closer as she can to Ren, to their rooms. By nightfall, after eating their dinner, they soon fell to sleep.
Runo's sleep was disturbed when a ray of light flashed on her eyes. The door was open, she took a peek outside and there it is again. It looks like a floating ball of light. She followed it and it soon led her to a garden. There, the boy with blonde hair was relaxing on the edge of the fountain
"Shouldn't you be sleeping?"
"Well, uhh... I, I thought that I might want to get some fresh air" she lied, obviously, she was hiding behind a pillar until he exposed her
"Yeah, right"
"Uhh.. hehe, right"
"Sarcasm is a foreign language to you, huh?" he smirked. Runo just pouted
"Come on, I'll escort you back to your room. You can get lost in this place" he approached her
"Thanks" she mumbled. Kai approached her until...
BOOM!
When the smoke cleared, it revealed a huge darkus Bakugan, it looks like Percival, only bigger and more lizard-like. It's eyes were deep black, something's obviously wrong with this Bakugan. It lashed it's tail and was about to hit Runo, until Kai let his senses guide him and received the blow instead
"KAI!" Runo exclaimed, Kai was sent flying to the bushes. She ran to him, only meeting clear amethyst eyes. Her eyes were like saucers, Kai's face was exposed and her first impression of him was...
"H-H-Hydron?"
