Mark: Sorry to all those who Blade disappointed last chapter. Disclaimer time!
Disclaimer: WE do NOT own Bakugan battle brawlers of those special fireworks.
Try to guess where we got those things.
Chapter 4
I stared at her outside the window to keep watch of her.
To keep her safe from harm, now that a dangerous being is on loose.
Cold winds blew, but I don't mind it. Her safety is what I am thinking about.
Then, a faint grin traced from my lips as I remembered how our plan had worked earlier.
The fireworks my friend made did exactly what I wanted it to do. It spelled out our message perfectly.
Flashback
"Mark, have you created your 'special' fireworks?" I asked
"Of course I have! Are you sure?" He asked me again
"Of course I am. Let's just see what they will do for now." I calmly replied
"When will you…"
"How many times do I have to tell you?! Trust in me, please."
"Alright… He's bound to notice you, correct?"
"Of course he will. He's a trained ninja, but I'll handle that"
End Flashback
"I knew you'd notice my presence, Shun" I said as I looked up into the roof and straight into his eyes.
"And I knew that something is going on" The young ninja replied. "Why are you here, Masquerade?"
"Is that a proper greeting to an old ally?"
"Tell me why you're here!"
"Fine then, I know you all saw 'our' gift to her, right?"
Shun's eyes then widened at my statement."So it was YOU who sent that message through the fireworks!"
"No. It wasn't my message, but rather, our message."
"Then, what happens now that you greeted her?"
"I intend to protect her from harms way."
"Protect her? Bah! Why would she need your protection when she has me?"
"Because…"
Then, the sun slowly rose from the horizon.
"Well, looks like you wouldn't believe me in what I'm going to say, so tell you what. Go see the TV. A friend of ours will explain all of what you need to know." I continued
"Hmph…"
"But I vow that I will protect her at all costs."
"And what if you fail to protect her?"
"Then, why don't we make a deal? Bring her to Japan with you. I'll continue to protect her even though you're doing the same"
"Whoever fails to protect her will do what the protector wants for a whole week, right?" He asked
"Possible. So, have we got ourselves a deal?"
"I don't know what you're planning, but I'll tag along to prove that she doesn't need your help."
A cloaked figure then landed next to me and said:
"Masquerade, we should go now."
He faced Shun and politely bowed while saying
"Shun Kazami, pleasure to meet you. The name is Mark, and we'll be seeing each other often now that you know Masquerade is alive, but keep it a secret for now."
"Wait!" Shun exclaimed.
But he was too late. We already vanished into thin air.
End Chapter 4: Games (Masquerade)
Mark: Hey there! Now that I'm in charge of this fan fiction for now, I'll be seeing to it that the events why Blade chose to entitle this fic "Guardian" will be known in the succeeding chapters. And yes, that was me earlier…
PS: We needed something Masquerade and Shun to fight about… So sorry for making them OoC
What is that 'dangerous being' Masquerade said?
Who is Masquerade's 'friend'?
Would Shun heed Masquerade's warning and advice?
Answers shall be found within the next chapter, so…
