Ch. 2: The Search Begins
Hello everyone, I'm back with the latest chapter. I will try to get the next chapters up ASAP.
"I still can't believe I already have a reviewer. Wasn't expecting on until, like, the 3rd chapter." I said happily as I sat at my computer. "So, Dan, will you please give thanks and this special virtual candy basket to my, uhhh, our, first reviewer?"
"I'd rather die." Dan replied.
"Dan, be careful what you wish for. He can make it happen…" Shun cautioned Dan. Dan now had a look of uneasiness on his face.
"Uhh, on second thought… Thank you for being our first reviewer 'purple heartz'. Make sure to pick up your candy basket here." Dan said.
"Shun, did you write him that card to read?" I asked.
"Uhh, nope?" He replied the o.o' face forming.
"Mmmhmmm… Sure… Anyways, who's going to say the disclaimer?" I ask. "How about you Runo?" I look to the chair on my left and see Runo tied up to a chair with duct tape on her mouth.
"Memrphgrm!" She yells?
"What?" I ask. Then I howl with laughter. "Marucho? Since you're in this chapter say the disclaimer por favor?" I ask him.
"Alright. GoldenPiggy unfortunately doesn't own Bakugan. He does own the story and his OC, Markus Fariu. He also owns all of Runo's hatred for him. Though he would appreciate it if the producers of Bakugan considered giving the show to him for his birthday, which is in five days." Marucho said.
"So why am I here?" Markus Fariu asks me.
"Because I need an OC! Now leave me be! I'm trying to write here." I reply.
"Well, sorry." He answers as he turns to watch TV.
"Alright that's that." Sees Dan trying to untie Runo. "DAN!"
On with the story!
Marucho's P.o.V
I sighed. Dan had run off to find Runo before we even had a chance to get out of the airport. I turned around to see a boy and girl following me. They were Shun and Julie.
Shun had amber eyes, which stood out against his raven black hair. He wore a green vest over a black T-shirt and had black jeans.
Julie had crystal blue eyes and silver hair. How she got her hair, I do not know. Her favorite color was pink, so she wore a pink top, and pink skirt.
We walked out of the airport.
"Alright guys," I began. "We have to find Dan! So, where's the one place he would rush to as soon as we landed…"
"Runo's place." Shun answered.
"Awww, tell me why I can run off like Dan? I mean, I like, miss her soooooooo much! Pleeeease Marucho?" Julie complained as she put a hand on her hip. She pouted. I hate it when she pouts like that, it makes me feel guilty.
"Ehh-"I wanted to tell her we were almost there, but I was cut off by Shun.
"Julie, were almost there anyways. You can wait a few minutes, can't you?"
"Thanks Shun." I muttered to him. His reply was a small smirk.
We were almost there. Just across the street, take a right, make a left, then another right and we'd be there.
"RRRUUUUUNNNOOOOOOOOO!"
Eh, that was Dan! I thought as Shun, Julie and I ran off. It sounded like it was coming from Runo's place! We ran and after about a minute, we saw Dan, facing the ground, hammering his slightly bloody hand into the pavement.
"Dan!" We all ran up to him. "Dan what happened?"
"Runo… She's gone… He took her!" Dan looked up at us, his face stricken with tears.
"Who took her Dan?" Shun asked.
"I-I don't know." He closed his eyes and hammered the ground again. "I could've done something! But, I wasn't fast enough!"
"Dan…" I muttered.
Drago's P.o.V
"Drago, what happened?" Shun had asked me.
"Dan and I were just leaving Mr. and Mrs. Mizaki's Café, when we heard Runo calling. Dan's eyes were closed when it happened, but mine weren't. As Dan ran up to Runo, I saw a figure wearing black robes, and a black hood, behind her. I'm not sure whether it was a boy or a girl, but whoever it was knocked Runo out. I saw Runo stagger backwards and fall into their arms as they disappeared." I tried my best to explain.
"We have to find her." Dan announced as he got to his feet.
"We know Dan, but its 10:03 pm" Shun started to say. "We'll start searching tomorrow."
"Yeah Dan! Shuns right! It's too late to search right now." Julie added. Dan sighed.
"Fine." He said as he and the others walked towards Marucho's cottage.
"Its Ok Daniel," I whispered to him. "We'll find her tomorrow. I promise"
3rd Person P.o.V.
It was 8:12 am, Friday. Daniel lay in his bed, awake, but not wanting to get up. He knew he had to get up sooner or later. He and his friends still had to go to school for the month that they were visiting.
"COME ON DAN! WAKE UP!" Julie screeched. He shot awake.
"Juuuliieee! You didn't have to scream in my ear like a harpy!" Dan replied, clutching his ears. "I'm up." Julie giggled. "Hey, what's so funny?"
"Daniel, it seems your still in your pajamas…" Drago answered. Dan looked down and saw himself in red pajamas that had little Dragonoids flying on them. Dan put on the 'o.o' face.
"JULIE, Get out! I have to change!" He screamed embarrassed. Julie ran out of the room.
"Well, Dan's awake now." She smirked satisfied.
Dan came outside his room dressed.
"I still don't see why we should be going to school! We could be searching for Runo!" Dan yelled.
"Hey, it's not our faults that our parents still want us to have an education." Replied Shun, who was wearing his old purple vest. "Plus, we could ask around the school for any clues as to why she was kidnapped."
"I know, but I feel useless! I'd be better if one of us were searching for her while the others ask around! It's just not fair!" Dan screeched. He was about to go on, but a knocking at the door stopped him.
"Can someone go get that?" Marucho yelled across the cottage.
"Sure." Dan yelled back as he walked towards the door.
He opened it and saw no one there. He was about to close it when he heard a voice.
"Down, here, Dan." Dan looked at the door mat to see what looked to be a small white marble. But he knew better. He knelt down to pick up the Haos Bakugan.
"Dan! Who's at the door?" Shun asked as he walked over. "What cha got there?" He asked. Dan opened his palm to reveal the small Haos Bakugan. As it reverted from its ball to signify who it was.
"Tigrerra!" They both shouted. Dan looked around outside to see if Runo was close by. If Tigrerra's here, Runo can't be far behind! He thought. But no one else came into view.
"Tigrerra," Dan started. "Where's Runo?"
"I managed to escape when Runo and I were captured. I managed to escape, and she told me to find you guys." Tigrerra explained.
"So you know where she is?" Dan asked.
"Yes." That was it. Tigrerra knows where Runo is! I can't just abandon her! We have to go find her! Dan thought.
"Shun, I'm going to find Runo." He said as he ran out the door. "Alright Tigrerra, just point me in her direction!"
Meanwhile with Shun and the others;
"He just ran off?" Marucho asked.
"Yes." Shun replied.
"Shun you should follow him and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble." Shun nodded and using his Ninja Skillz, disappeared. "Alright Julie, you and Gorem go ask around town for any clues, Preyas and I will ask around the school." Julie nodded
"You hear that Gorem?" She picked up the brown Sub-Terra Bakugan. "Let's go!" She exclaimed as she ran out of the house.
"Come on Preyas." Marucho said as he picked up the blue Aquos Bakugan.
"Okay Marucho! I won't let you down!" Preyas exclaimed as Marucho got his bag.
Back with Dan;
Dan was speeding through the city.
"Were almost there Dan." Tigrerra said.
Alright, the sooner I get there, the sooner Runo will be safe. He thought.
"Hey, Dan!" Dan turned to see who it was.
"SHUN!" Dan saw him smile.
"We can't have you running into danger by yourself now, can we?"
Dan smiled. Shun always has my back.
"We're here." Tigrerra exclaimed as Dan and Shun stopped. In front of them they saw what looked to be an old mansion.
"It looks abandoned." Was all he could say.
"Dan, you go ahead inside. I'll stand guard out here." Shun stated.
"Alright." He replied as he started for the door.
Don't worry Runo. I'm coming for you!
"Alright, that was a pain to write." I said.
"A pain for you? Why'd you end it there? I want to save Runo!" Dan exclaims.
"Shush." I smack Dan with a spoon.
"Was that a spoon?!"
"Yes."
"Why a spoon?!"
"Because my mallet is in my closet…"
"Will someone get me off this chair!" Runo screeches.
"Silence you Harpy!" I say as I grab the duct tape.
"Wait, before you shut me up, let me say something."
"You have 3 minutes."
"I read what you have in store for me in the next chapter, and I hate it." She said.
"How do you know what I'm going to write when I haven't even written it yet?"
"I just do. And you still write terrible."
"Quit trying to put me down or ill make sure the next chapter is a real horror." I say as I re-tape her mouth.
Second chapter. What'cha think? R&R. Again, all flames welcomed. It doesn't bother me. Constructive Criticism recommended. 'What can I do better?' Or just good reviews.
