Bakugan: The Awakening
A/N: If anyone is reading this, sorry but there will not be a battle in this chapter. I'm still planning all it out, but I thought for this chapter, I would try to introduce some more characters. Don't worry, I have something planned for next chapter.
Anyways, I do not own Bakugan or any of its characters, except my OC, Cole Bravo, and his partner.
Chapter 2: A Partner Appears!
Cole woke up and stretched out his arms, yawning to help wake himself up. He was feeling good, but the feeling disappeared as he remembered that he had school today. He was about to get out of bed when a voice beside him spoke.
"Good, your awake," the voice said.
Cole turned around quickly, goosebumps making his hair stand on end while he searched for where the voice originated from.
"Who's in here with me?" he slurred, still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"I'm over here!"
Cole looked at his desk to see a bakugan there, open and waving its wings.
"Hello human," the bakugan said. "I am Darkus Palonidas. It's nice to meet you."
Cole's composure relaxed a bit, now looking at the bakugan with a face of awe.
"You're a talking bakugan?" Cole said. "This seems too good to be true. Am I still dreaming?"
"I assure you, this is no dream," Palonidas said, floating high enough so that Cole could look him in the eye.
"Oh really, then prove it," Cole said.
Palonidas gestured to the window, and Cole's eyes started to bug out.
"Where is the window!" Cole said, anger seething through his words. "That thing cost a fortune, you know!"
"I'm sorry, the landing here for me was pretty bad," Palonidas responded. "Kinda hard to control where you land when your streaking across the sky!"
"Ow, these shards hurt!" Cole said, stepping on a broken piece of the window by accident. "Okay, you proved that this is not a dream. This is so amazing, yet so painful. So, what are you doing in my room?"
"I came here to join you," Palonidas said. "I saw the battle you had with that pyrus dragonoid."
"You saw that?" Cole said happily, rubbing the back of his neck. "Were you impressed by my skills?"
"Indeed I was impressed," Palonidas said. "You managed to stalemate a guardian bakugan with a normal one, that takes skill and time. That is why I am offering to partner up with you. If we partnered up, I am certain that we could beat this guy and show him who's boss. So, what do you think?"
"I think that I would be an idiot for refusing this offer," Cole said. "It's a deal."
"Okay," Palonidas said, nodding his toy head. "So, when do we get started?"
"We start this as soon as I get dressed and fix the window you busted," Cole said
Cole rushed and got his clothes on, strapped the bakupod to his wrist, and attached his clip to his sweat pants. He then spent 15 minutes trying to fix the window, but ultimately gave up and just concealed it with the large curtains hanging to the side of the window. Looking at Palonidas, he said, "Let's do this, partner."
Cole held out his hand, which Palonidas jumped into and closed up. Cole put him in his hoodie pocket and headed out the door, grudgingly on his way to school.
Later that day…
Dan walked out of the school building, reading to head over to the park and take on his next challenge. He didn't really have anyone specific who had challenged him yet, besides that creep Masquerade. He continued walking until he heard some people making a ruckus.
"Wow, that's so amazing!"
"How are you so strong?!"
Dan was stopped by the commotion happening near the benches. Drago heard it too, and popped open in front of him.
"What's happening over there?" Drago asked.
"No idea Drago, but I will figure it out" Dan said, walking over to the crowd. He slowly got himself within the group and was a bit taken back. It was Cole, holding a bakugan that he had never seen before.
"I found this guy on my cabinet," Cole said. " He wanted to be my partner."
Cole looked at his bakugan, which opened up and said, "My name is Darkus Palonidas. It's an honor to have faced all of you."
"Wow, Cole!" Dan said, surprised. "Where did you get that new bakugan?"
"I came to him last night through the window," Palonidas explained. "That's one trip I care not to repeat."
"That's so cool!" Dan said. Drago floated off of Dan's shoulder and over to Palonidas, inspecting him.
"Greeting, I am Pyrus Dragonoid" he said formerly, bowing his head. "Pleased to meet you."
"Oh, so that's who you are," Palonidas responded. "I've been looking forward to meet you."
"You know who I am?" Drago asked waringly, eyeing the dragon-like bakugan.
"Only by appearance, not by name," Palonidas said. "I saw you with that human. You're the one who got stalemated by my partner using a normal bakugan. Of course, if I had been there, the battle would have gone much differently."
Numerous whispers and murmurs moved throughout the crowd as Palonidas had just called Drago out. Cole looked at his new partner, a bit dumbfounded, when suddenly a voice cut through all others
"Hey, I take offense to that! I did the best I could!"
Cole and Dan looked around in confusion, wondering who had said that. Then a bakugan flew out of Cole's pocket and opened up.
"Siege, is that you?" Cole asked the bakugan.
"You bet it is. Why are you letting this bakugan insult my performance!" Siege yelled.
"You got it all wrong, Siege," Cole explained. "Palonidas wasn't insulting you. He was trying to compliment you by saying you were able to face Drago head on and not lose."
"Oh, then I guess a thank-you is in order," Siege said, turning to Palonidas. "Thank you for your evaluation of my last battle."
"It's nothing special," Palonidas said cooly. "I just call it like I see it."
"Well, thanks anyways," Siege said. His conversation done, he went back in his ball form and returned to Cole's pocket.
"Woah, you got two talking bakugan?" Dan said. "That's so awesome! I can't wait to battle you?"
"You're a cocky one, are you not?" Drago said, getting all up in Palonidas' face.
"Maybe I am," Palonidas shot back. "Or maybe I'm just confident in my skills. You're not upset, are you, Drago?"
"Oh no, "Drago said challengingly. "I'm just wondering how long that confidence will last when I defeat you in front of everyone.
"Ooohhhh!..." The crowd said, some of them holding their hands in front of their mouths. They could tell that a big battle was about to happen.
"Palonidas, are you sure you can do this?" Cole asked his partner. "I mean; you just went through four consecutive battles! You really want to keep going?
"Of course I want to keep going!" Palonidas said. "A warrior should always practice his trade in order to keep in shape. Besides, I want to take a crack at this Dragonoid."
"Ha, there nothing special!" a cocky voice said in the crowd that everyone knew too well.
"Go stuff a sock in it Shuji!" Cole said. "You want to battle Dan, your going to have to wait your turn."
"Ah, no fair!" Shuji wimpered.
"Sorry, Shuji, life's not fair" Dan said bluntly.
"Whaaaaaahhh!" Shuji cried. "I want my mommy!" Shuji ran out of the park as fast as he could, tears rolling down his face.
"Man, what a crybaby," Cole said. "Anyway, where were we. Oh yeah I remember. You ready to battle, Dan!" Cole said, taking out his Gate card.
"I'm also ready to battle!" Dan said. "You ready to win, Drago?"
"I'm always ready, Dan," Drago said.
Both brawlers held out their cards and shouted, "Bakugan Field Open!"
The six attribute hexagram rotated around them, freezing time in the human world while they were transported to the battlefield.
Up on the roof of a nearby building, a mysterious person was looking down at the park. This person maintained an air of silence up there until a voice spoke from the earpiece, breaking the silence.
"Anything new to report, agent?" The voice said.
"No, nothing new has happened at the park ye- Hold on a moment," the agent said. "I see a commotion happening at the fountain in the park."
"Can you tell me who is down there?"
"Well, one of them is wearing a red jacket with a yellow shirt," The agent started. "The other one is wearing a black hoodie with a logo on the back."
"The first one you described is definitely Dan Kuso. He has a powerful Dragonoid, that much I found out from my first encounter with him. But the other one, that is someone I do not recognize."
"Don't know if this is a bad time to interrupt, but I found something interesting about the logo on the kid's jacket," The agent said.
"Continue."
"Well, the logo is a fusion of the Darkus symbol and your mask," The agent stated.
"Hmmm, very interesting. Continue to investigate the situation. If they initiate a brawl, activate your gate card, and put it in the stealth case I gave you."
"Won't I get spotted by them if I activate my gate card?" The agent asked.
"Don't worry about that, agent. The stealth case will allow you to view the battle field without being seen. In this way, you shall be like a ghost, able to see what happens but not be seen yourself."
"I understand, sir. Haos42, signing out," The agent said, turning off his earpiece.
As soon as he looked back at the fountain, he saw the two kids pull out their gate cards.
"Time to do my job now," He said quietly, pulling out his own gate card and inserting it in the special case.
"Bakugan field open!" He said.
The six attribute hexagram appeared under him, except the symbols didn't glow with their normal color. Instead, they were colorless, and appeared more transparent than normal. With a smirk, the agent was transported to the battlefield.
A/N:Cole's partner has been revealed, but he has no idea how powerful Palonidas is. Who's the guy spying on Dan and Cole? What's he planning? Who is he working forward (It's pretty obvious who he is, JetravenEX really likes this guy)? You'll have to wait to find out.
To whoever got this far; thank you for reading my work.
If you could, please review so that I can pump these chapters out faster. Thanks!
