Chapter Twenty-Three:Plans and Problems

Jaden's P.O.V

I used my teleporting power to bring me and Shun back to Earth safely and we met up with the others at Marucho's place.

"It doesn't make any sense."Marucho said."We know the Vexos are after the attribute energies the six ancient warriors gave us."

"It's a trap just like luring us to New Vestroia was."Shun replied.

"But why bring us all the way here when they could keep fighting us on Vestal?"Baron wondered.

"Maybe they had to change their strategy when Spectra showed up again."Mira said."It was clear when we saw Spectra and Volt that they aren't allies anymore."

"I wouldn't be surprised if Spectra had a hand in this."Ace said."I don't see the Vexos going to the trouble of dimensional transport unless they had to."

"Maybe Spectra did something that forced them to take the fight off Vestal."Marucho said.

"All that matters is that our enemies have come to Earth."Drago said.

"Drago's right! Sitting here playing guessing games isn't helping us so we have to prepare for some heavy duty battle."Dan replied.

"We shouldn't be so eager, we could lose."I said.

"They already have the Haos energy and they've close to getting a few others."Runo replied.

"Runo's right, we have to be smart about this."Mira said."If they capture all the energies..."

"Then the bakugan termination system will become fully operational."Shun said."And all the bakugan we fought so hard to free will be completely wiped out forever."

"We saw the own thing when we were on New Vestroia."I said."It might be only partly operational but it still turns the bakugan back into balls."

"Oh no."Drago said in horror.

"I can't believe it just when they were finally free."Ace said."The Vexos better run when they see me coming."

"And that goes double for me, Ace. I'm so mad!"Runo said.

"Don't worry, Runo. We'll teach those Vexos a lesson."Julie said.

"Does that mean you two plan on actually brawling?"Dan asked.

"Well, it makes perfect sense. Since me and Runo have no attribute energies to lose we should be your first line of defence."Julie said."So you guys can fight only when it's absolutely necessary."

"But the Vexos are crazy powerful not any bakugan can beat them."Baron mentioned.

"Are you saying that my Tigrerra and Gorem aren't good enough to fight along side of you?"Runo responded taking it the wrong way.

"We've fought the Vexos so we know what to expect."I said.

"Trust us, messing with them is serious business."Percival replied.

"Well messing with us is serious business too."Runo replied.

"But we all have surprior strength."Elfin mentioned.

"So you're better than me?"Preyas responded.

"I was better than you before that."Elfin answered.

"Runo may have a point."Shun agreed."Battling the Vexos is too risky right now."

"They'll be expecting us."Marucho said."Maybe it's time to switch strategies too. I say we hide out and plan a sneak attack."

"So that way we'll have the element of surprise on our side for once."Mira said.

"Sounds to me like we'll be a bunch of sitting ducks."Dan said.

"Yeah, what if the Vexos find us?"Baron asked.

"Don't worry, I think of all scenerios."Marucho answered."I managed to create a barrier shield using dimension wave technology."

"Barrier shield?"Dan said.

"Think of it as an invisbility cloak so as long as we stay in this house the Vexos won't be able to find us."Marucho replied.

"Hey, where's Aelita?"I asked noticing she wasn't here.

"We thought she was with you."Mira said.

"No now I'm worried."I replied.

"All systems are go, looks like the barrier shield is working."Marucho said.

"So now we can wait the Vexos out."Shun replied.

"So how long do we have to wait?"Dan asked.

"What's the rush?"I said."If the Vexos follow so will Spectra."

"With the Vexos and Spectra coming after you all at once, you can't leave."Marucho agreed.

"But I came here to battle not to bury my head in the sand."Dan complained.

"Just think of it as a big slumber party."Julie suggested.

"Happy thoughts will help the time pass."Gorem said.

"I suppose there are worser places to be stuck than Marucho's house."Dan said.

"So you want to go down to bowling alley with us?"Runo asked.

"There's no point in fighting them, Dan."Tigrerra noted.

"Okay, I'm in."Dan said."Hey, Mira come with us."

"These next few days are sure going to be interesting."Mira sighed.

Being forced to stay one place would prove to be a challenge for all of us but if Aelita didn't go to Vestal or Vestroia where did she go?


Aelita's P.O.V

The others must know I'm gone by now but I had to go back to Termia as they needed my help badly but let's see if I can help myself first.

"Are you sure about this?"Neos asked.

"This is something I need to do, Neos."I answered.

Basically a small island which was covered by a lake was being attacked by a large group called the Underground who had been after me for a while as they heard about my powers and abilities which had been passed onto a few people as well via experimentation had been on the run for a small while but they can't run forever.

When I was on my way there a few of those "clones." of sorts had been paralyzed by a energy coming from the Undergrounds jets and 4 of them had avoided them but they were trapped now and I managed to help them out by using my powers to stop it and end the paraylsis.

The jet flew right next to me and started to open showing the leader and his second-hand.

"You."I said glaring right at her.

"It's been a while, you look well."Juno said.

"I would leave if I were you. I assure you that my powers are much stronger since the Onyx incident."I said.

"Your increased powers come as no surprise but my techincians have forseen it and come up with a way to stop it."Juno replied.

Two machines came up and used some strong electrical power to blast me downwards.

"Well it seems my machines are worth the investments."Juno said.

"You should fear my powers most of all."I said getting up fiercely."You can't conquer me."

"Your powers may bend the will of living creatures but not machines."Juno said rather confident.

"We'll see about that."I responded.

"Activate the forcefields."Juno ordered.

It was a struggle to use my powers but I managed to blast them onto 2 rock pillars.

"Well done, Aelita."Juno commented still smug."You proved that technology has its limits...but living things have their limits too."

"Do not test the limits of my power."I warned.

"It seems that would be futile."Juno agreed."So we'll take our battle to that island."

"I'll fly over there for phase two."Scarlet said taking off on her jetpack.

"So I hear a few of your friends are on that island now we'll see how strong your loyalties are."Juno replied.

"You're unbelievable."I said digusted.

"Aelita are you going to let your little friends battle me alone?"

"I have to help them."I replied knowing it's a trap.

All the others agreed to help me.

"We must live where and how we chose."I said floating in mid-air with the others."To the island!"

We got there rather fast so we took some by surprise.

"I've been expecting you."Scarlet said.

"How about leave the island?"I said.

"Maybe that's something you should take my with my boss."Scarlet replied with the jet flying from behind me.

"So you're willing to obay my commands?"Juno asked.

"I'd rather die than do that."I responded.

"I reconsider that opinion because if you don't your little clones will be used in our experiements and will certainly die."Juno warned.

"I'll give up."I agreed.

Those machines created a blue energy ball for me to enter.

"It's not meant to destroy you just harness your abilities to suit my purposes."Juno explained.

"Yeah, I know what your purposes are."I said.

"Don't bother destroying them, we're quite capable of making new ones."Scarlet replied."But if you try to fight us your little friends will be the ones to pay the price."

She used an energy beam from a black flower to injure two of those clones and they are all like me so they have names and those two were Imogen and Ashelin and they are twins.

"I'll do what you say."I said.

"All you have to do is step into the light."Juno ordered.

I hated every step I was taking and everyone of them were warning me not to but I knew it's a wrong decision and I still stepped into that ball.

"That's a good girl and you won't run away this time."Juno said.

"You may control my body but you will never control my will."I replied.

"We'll see about that."Juno said.

The ball turned pink and started to use electricity to shock me which caused a lot of pain.

"I will not sumbit."I vowed.

"You are strong, Aelita but pain makes the body master of the will."Juno responded."Let's see how long you struggle."

It's hard to stay strong with the pain and I couldn't escape.

"This is a nice place."Juno commented."I figured they might find a place like this and it's perfect for my new base. Finally I will create an army of the most powerful bakugan and you will be at its head following my commands...together we will rule the world!"

My head went down in exhaustion while I was still fighting the pain.

Help me...
