Chapter 3

"Hey Matt, up for a brawl?" Bob called out.

"What, don't want to get your butt kicked by your girlfriend?" Matt asked as he walked up to Bob.

"I wish Alice was my girlfriend…Are you changing the subject 'cause you're scared I'll beat you?" Bob asked.

Matt chuckled, "Beat me? That's impossible, I have the Magulater."

"I'm still going to beat you, no matter what, for I have this. A Lagmaster," Bob said proudly, flourishing his new bakugan.

"Lagmaster?" Matt asked in disbelief.

"I don't know, it just popped into my mind," Bob replied.

"Whatever, it's time for pwnage," Matt said confidently.

Matt took out his bakugan arena and they started the battle.

"Gatecard set, bakugan roll, Pyrus Fencer stand," Bob said. He tossed a red bakugan onto the field.

Pyrus Fencer 700Gs

"Yeah, like that's gonna help you. Gate card set, bakugan roll, Ventus Mega Nemus stand on my card," Matt said. He spun an ornate bakugan onto his card. The flashy bakugan opened up to reveal a tall creature with fold-out hands.

Mega Nemus 680Gs.

"Like my Mega Nemus? I just finished customizing it," Matt said proudly.

"It's pretty, but I doubt sharpie and colored pencil will let you win," Bob replied.

"Sure about that?"

"Gate card open, Mega Nemus Reactor: all Mega Nemuses lose 300G-Power." Bob said.

Mega Nemus 380Gs.

"Your boost is 20, mine is 400.

"I can't counter that," Matt said thinking: so what, he won one battle, I'll still beat him.

"I roll Pyrus Hyper Dragonoid onto your card," Bob said, thinking: I might just have a chance of winning. He rolled his favorite bakugan onto the card.

Pyrus Hyper Dragonoid 780Gs

"The gatecard is Meager Pyrus: your boost is 0, mine is 500," Matt said

"Ability card activate: Reroute, you and me switch boosts," Bob said.

"You win that battle," Matt said.

"Gatecard set, bakugan roll, Pyrus Lagmaster stand," Bob said proudly.

Pyrus Lagmaster 7000Gs.

"What, h-how? That's...Never mind, Darkus Magulater stand on your card" Matt said rolling a bakugan that revealed a spiky, orange ball.

Darkus Magulater 1000Gs.

"Equal Battle, we both get a boost of 100."

"Fine, if my bakugan's normal power won't do it, I'll use an ability card. Ability card activate-"

No Non-Mankis ability cards may be used in battle when a Babcid bakugan is in battle.

"Mankis?" Both brawlers asked.

"Mankis, shmankis, Lagmaster, kick his butt," Bob said.

"How did you win? And your bakugan, it had so much G-power..."

"I don't know...I really don't know," Bob replied.

As Matt walked away, Alice walked up.

"What's his problem? He looks sad," Alice asked.

"I beat him."

"How?"

"Long story, a really long story," Bob said.
