GP: Whelp, here we are again. Sorry to anyone who's been following this… or reading it at all… Sooo… ya. Enjoy.
Dan: Hey! What about us?
GP: I honestly don't like you Dan….
Dan: I'm hurt…. T.T
Marucho: Can't you just say the disclaimer already Dan? I mean, you don't want Runo to go all day in that closet? Or do you?
Dan: I'm offended Marucho! How could you think like that! Runo's my friend!
Julie: Then say the disclaimer so we can get on with the story!
Dan: But-
GP: Know what Dan? Never mind… Yo! Karly, can you do the disclaimer?
Karly: Not a part of this big bro. I told you to keep me out of these things….
GP: Fine… Shun?
Dan: But I said I'll do it!
Shun: GoldenPiggy does not own Bakugan in any type of form. He does however own the plot of this story and his OC Marcus. His sister only owns the character 'Shun' in this Bakugan sto- Wait WHAT!?
Karly: Ehehehe
GP: *Sweatdrop* I thought you didn't wanna be a part of this?
Karly: Shut up! Oh and just for that, I'm not letting you help me write that Naruto story…
GP: But-
Dan: Hello? Can we get on with the story now?
GP: This isn't over Karly!

Ch 3- A Brawl for Freedom
Slowly she began to wake up. Runo sat in a dark room tied to a crate. Her blue hair was messed up and her eyes were blocked from view by a cloth. She couldn't see anything. As soon as se regained enough feeling in her body she began to thrash about in the room, until she heard footsteps.
Runo sat on the floor silent. The footsteps were getting louder, and soon they stopped outside the door. She heard the door slide open, and soon the cloth that had obscured her vision was gone.
"Mrmarghfm." She tried saying, realizing the cloth that gagged her was still there.
"My my," She turned her head to see a tall figure dressed in a purple-black shirt and black slacks. On his shoulders were pads to keep his cape in place. A helmet on his head blocked everything from above the mouth out of view.
"Well, you're Runo Misaki. Ahh you look a mess darling." Seeing as she couldn't talk, Runo glared at the man in front of her. "Oh, what's that? You want to say something? I'll be happy to help you." He untied the cloth around Runo's mouth. "Truly sorry about that. But I couldn't have you screaming if you woke up on the way here."
"How do you know I won't scream now?" She muttered.
"Well, one, you haven't yet, and two, this is a soundproof room."
Runo glared. "I. Hate. You." She seethed out.
"I love you to."
"Go to h-"
"Heaven? I'm sorry Runo, but I can't leave yet. I have very important business here."
"Go die in a ditch."
"Bitter are we? I'd have thought my guest would've been happy to be here."
"I would've been happy if I came here willingly."
"So, what I'm hearing is you want to leave." He frowned.
"No, Really? I love your company soooo much." She replied sarcastically.
A silence filled the room until the man snapped his fingers. "Ahh, I know. We shall play a game. If you win, you are free to go. If I win, you stay. Sound fair?"
Runo nodded. "What game?" She asked curiously.
"You're a Bakugan Brawler, No?"
"Yes."
"Then we shall brawl."
"I'm… fine with that… except I don't have my Bakugan with me."
"That'll be dealt with. For now, I have a present for you." He grabbed a remote out of his pocket and clicked something on it. A TV appeared, and on it were live video feed of Dan at his house.
"W-what is this?"
"Ah, my new toy I've been working with. You see, the concept of cloning something isn't that hard. It's getting them to do what you want that's the hard part."
Runo looked shocked. "W-what am I here for?" She quietly demanded.
"All in due time. Oh look at the time! Our brawl will begin shortly. Can you get up?"
Runo muttered something.
"What was that?" He asked.
"No…"
He sighed. "Fine." She grabbed her hand in a vice-like grip and pulled her up. Untying her, he pulled her into another room. He picked something off one of the tables in that room, and handed it to her.
"Here," He started. "It's your Bakugan selection matrix. I don't trust you to not take Tigrera and run, so you'll have to make do with this." Runo grumbled, but started picking her Bakugan on the BSM.
"Done." She stated.
"Alright then. Stay on this side of the field."
"…?"
"My tech is high-tech. I found a way to warp the Bakugan Dimension Field into a normal Earth field without causing damage to it. Now then, Field, OPEN!"
The room the two were standing in glowed. Once the light dimmed down, a screen showed in front of Runo. On the screen were the three Bakugan she'd chosen. She pushed one of their images. The screen disappeared and in her hand was the Bakugan shed chosen.
"Alright, Gatecard set. Bakugan brawl." Her opponent cried.
"Bakugan Brawl!" She screeched.
"Aquas Dezonoid, Stand!"
"Haos Glowvus, stand!"
A blue frog-like creature appeared on the field with a white ball that had five tendrils seeping out of it.
Aquas Dezonoid at 770 Gs. Haos Glowvus at 740 Gs. Battle begin.
"Ability activate!" Runo cried. "Absorbing Light!"
Two of the white tendrils shot away from the ball, heading straight for Dezonoid. They reached him and latched onto him, draining his power.
Aquas Dezonoid minus 100 Gs. Haos Glowvus plus 50 Gs. Aquas Dezonoid at 670 Gs. Haos Glowvus at 790 Gs.
"Heh, good move, but not so fast! Ability activate! Water veil!" He countered.
Dezonoid was suddenly cloaked in a cloud of mist. The cloak was clearly frying off the two tendrils that were attached to Dezonoid.
Haos Glowvus minus 50 Gs. Haos Glowvus minus 100 Gs. Aquas Dezonoid plus 200 Gs. Haos Glowvus at 640 Gs. Aquas Dezonoid at 870 Gs.
Runo gasped. How could a single ability put him at such an advantage?
He laughed. "Oh, and I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself have i? No? I shall not tell you my real name, but you may call me Michael."
Runo growled. She couldn't afford to lose this brawl. "Ability activate! Power swap!"
Power Swap ability recognized. Power Swap- Haos Glowvus at 870 Gs. Aquas Dezonoid at 640 Gs.
"How'd ya like that?"
"Impressive, but, you still lost. Gatecard Open!"
Gatecard Aquas destruction activated.
"Aquas destruction?" Runo wondered aloud. "What does it do?" She asked.
"Aquas destruction is a Gatecard that takes all Aquas Bakugan on the field and reduces their power to 10 Gs."
"B-but why would you do that?"
Dezonoid at 10 Gs.
"To do this. Ability Activate! Power Swap!"
Runo gasped. There was nothing she could do, she realized. She'd fallen into Michael's trap.
Power Swap ability recognized. Power Swap- Aquas Dezonoid at 870 Gs. Haos Glowvus at 10 Gs.
"Aha! See. Now Dezonoid! Finish her off!" Michael yelled as Dezonoid attacked.
A bright light encased the room, and when it dimmed, Runo was knocked out cold. Michael walked up to her, jerked her unconscious body up onto his back, and took her to another room. Once in said room, he set her up onto a chair, strapped her in, and placed a helmet on her.
The helmet had several wires running from the back of it, hooking up to a computer.
Michael grinned. All was going according to plan. He punched in a code on the computer, and waited.
The Brawlers would be there soon. And when they came, there'd be a big surprise awaiting them.
Xx Ending A/N xX
GP: I know I'm ending it off on a cliffhanger. Don't hate me! Please.
Dan: You suck!
GP: Live with it! Be lucky I didn't send you to my 'Pit of Poisonous Spikes and Pain' yet.
Shun: You're lucky Dan… I once asked to go down there to train… I wasn't out of the hospital for weeks…
GP: And that is why I like Naruto…. Well… Of course Karly likes it more than me….
Karly: Sorry Shun! You may be my favorite Bakugan character, But Naruto is so awesome, and I can't decide between Neji and Shikamaru. Oh well…
GP: Speaking of which, you're NOT posting a story on this account… Understand?
Karly: You're no fun… I'm still doing it…
GP: I'm helping you write it…
Marucho: Has anyone seen Runo yet?
GP: Oh yeah, everyone who's reading this; the rest of the gang don't know what has happened to Runo. So, basically, they can't read this chapter.
Julie: I GOTZ COOKIES!
Karly: Oh yeah… I kind of forgot that you said not to give Julie cookies… Sooo… Good luck….
GP: *Sigh*
Whelp, that's that. Meh, short-ish(?) chapter… *Yawns* So tired… bye… and top anyone who wants to know why I would want flames, it's not because I'm desperate for reviews. I could care less… but, flames make fire… I'm freezing… Duh :P
