I don't own anyone from the bakugan battle brawlers apart from Xenia Grounds even though I wish I could!
I'm not gonna write the full details of the bakugan brawls
Enjoy
Chapter Five:Tensions Rise,Hatred Grows
Billy quit Masquerade's brawling group after realising what he was doing to Julie and the bakugan,he told us that Masquerade had gathered the top brawlers from the world and the power of the silent core had corrupted him to do all those things to Julie and the bakugan when we landed at bakugan valley,Julie walked Billy home.
"That creep Masuqerade is really getting under my skin."Dan said.
"What's the matter?"Runo asked.
"I'll tell you,remember those battles we had against Klaus and Chan well lets face it,they're just puppets being used by Masquerade we have to stop him from brainwashing everyone."Dan replied.
"Whoa,easier said than done,Dan."I said.
"But it has to be done."Dan replied.
"All,I said was--."I said beginning to explain.
"Take it down a notch!We don't where these battlers are so we can't do a darn thing and don't forget we still haven't found the infinity core!"Runo screamed.
"I know we haven't found it yet but I'm sick and tired of Masquerade's little game and I wanna nail that jerk so bad,I can taste it."Dan shouted.
"So does everybody else but we aren't freaking out about it!"Runo argued.
One day without hearing them fight would be nice.
"Stop it!I hate to see such good friends fight like this!"Alice said.
"Who said we were friends?"Dan asked.
"But I thought...you guys were..."Alice replied.
"Where are you going,Shun?"Dan asked as Shun began to walk out the door."Wait up!You can't just walk away without telling anyone what the heck you're doing!Is there something,Shun?"
"I don't care what happened to the others,I look out for myself."Shun answered.
"Oh,gimme a break!You cannot be serious,we have to work as a team to beat that get off your highhorse and listen to me!"Dan shouted.
"And just who elected you captain?Man,with your temper you couldn't beat a child,in fact I could take you down with my eyes closed."Shun had offically quit the bakugan battle brawlers when he gave Dan his shooter.
"I'm sick of pretending we're friends."Shun said walking off.
"Shun,wait!Go ahead and leave and who needs you!"Dan shouted.
"Daniel!"Drago said in shock.
"Don't leave."I whispered then went outside."Way to go,Kuso!"
"What?"Dan asked like he didn't know."Where are you going?"
"To convince Shun to come back,someone has to."I answered."Shun,wait!"
It took me the rest of the day to catch up with him but I did it.
"Shun,come on!You know we need you we're a team."I said.
"Please Shun,your mission is the same as them,to unmask Masquerade."Skyress tried.
"Dan didn't mean what he said."I replied."We're all counting on you and you know that!"
"I'm afraid Shun feels that with the way everyone has been acting none of you could ever beat Masquerade."Skyress explained."That is why he has left,he feels that is now up to him to rescue all the bakugan."
"I get why you think that,I really do but you need to come back."I said.
"It's the only way to win and if I cannot beat him,all is lost."Shun answered.
I remember what had happened to Preyas then I really saw why.
"I see."I replied.
"For some reason,I feel this is my destiny to take Masquerade down alone."Shun answered.
Yeah,you would say that,you're a loner!
"Shun,no!"Skyress replied.
"That's crazy,you can't do this on your own,you need your friends."I said.
"I work alone."Shun said.
What are you,Batman?Besides didn't you practically kiss me yesterday?
"Well,if isn't mister tough guy himself."Komba answered standing on top of the statue."I heard everything."
"Oh,why you."I said."Do you ever go away?"
"So you really think you can beat Masquerade,you're a regular one thing you've gotta beat me first."Komba said laughing.
"That shouldn't be too hard then."I replied with no worry in my voice.
"You're not facing me so shut up!"Komba shouted.
"Don't need Shun,you're done for."I answered with COMPLETE confidence.
"You only won that battle because you got lucky.I want revenge for that day and I can only get that if we battle."Komba said.
"Why don't you just get lost,kid?"Shun answered.
"Please do."I whispered.
"What you think I'm some weakling."Komba replied.
Yeah,we do!
"Well,I only lost because I was partnered with Billy and he's completely useless."Komba said."I don't need anyone!"
"So you don't need anyone,you can do this all by yourself."Shun answered."Hmm...sounds intresting."
Says the person who was about to do the same thing!Anyway as it turns out I was completely right,Shun didn't even need to break a sweat through the entire match but seeing that made me notice something along with why Shun used to by ranked number one in the world.I only really got excited around the end of the battle when both Harpess and Skyress were in the battle.
"Ta da!Looks like my turn to 's Skyress,looking good girlfriend but not for long!"Harpess said in that really annoying voice.
"Ability activate!Feather Storm."Komba said raising Harpress's power 370 G but Shun just used a counter card to literally blow her away.
"So,how have you been?"Skyress asked.
"Don't play cute with me it only happened to me once and it won't happen again."Harpess shouted attacking Skyress's head.
"I've had enough of you,Harpess."Skyress said attempting to attack Harpess,I can't blame you!
"You may have a fight left in you,but you're no spring chicken."Harpess replied avoiding the attacks.
"Too bad,seems like to me like you've used all your ability cards and with no power to add to your monsters,I guess there's only one last thing to say.I just whooped your butt,Shun!"Komba shouted proudly.
"Guess again,Komba."Shun replied."If you're wondering why I don't waste time in battle,it's because I'm not willing to lose my bakugan it's nothing personal."
"Man,you are one crazy dude."Komba said.
"Shun still has one more gate card left."I answered.
With that gate card,Shun managed to increase Skyress's power to 570 G letting him win the battle and with hardly any effort because Komba couldn't even get an opening to attack during the entire match.
"I can't believe it!It must be a dream.I want a rematch,Shun."Komba said unwilling to accept defeat.
"What a sore loser."I sighed.
"Not to be forward but how about you let me sit out the next battle."Harpess replied.
"Why you little--this is all your fault!"Komba blamed raising his arm but Shun stopped him.
"Let me give a little advise,practice!And maybe stop running your mouth before you start another battle."Shun answered.
We both realised that too well!
"I messed up bad."Komba noticed.
"You can always count on friends,that's real important."Shun replied.
I'm not being funny,but what have I been trying to tell you for the last few minutes!?
"It's something I forgot about myself."Shun said.
I realised that,a lot(!)
"You mean,your friends?"Komba asked.
"I never realised before but there was one friend in were both so passionate about bakugan."Shun explained."But I lost my friend."
"I noticed something,why is winning so important to you?"I asked.
"His passion becomes aware when he battles."Skyress replied."It makes him feel alive."
"Watching you trying to be so tough made me realise something you can't do it by yourself,you gotta count on your friends to help."Shun answered.
"That was awesome!There you are."Dan said running towards us.
"Dan!"I said.
"Hey, in the world have you been,hiding."Dan explained.
"Well,not really."I answered.
"I believe young Daniel has something to say to you,Shun."Drago replied.
"Hey,I know!I'm sorry for saying we didn't need you,in fact you're the one we probably the one we need the most.I don't know if I have ever told you this but you're the best friend I've ever had,Shun.I really mean it,bud!"Dan admitted with Shun's shooter in his hand.
He's rehearsed this more than a marriage proposal!
"Touching."I said.
"Come back,Shun."Dan begged."Please,Shun."
"I told you Shun,go on."I replied.
"Man,this is too much.I can't take the suspense come on,Shun do the right thing!"Komba cried.
"It would be my honour."Shun answered taking back the shooter.
"Great."I said.
"You're the man,Shun."Komba cried literally grabbing onto him.
"Hey!What do you think you're doing!"Shun shouted.
"I know I've been a real pain and you probably think I'm some creepy kid but I wanna be your student and I'll never leave your side."Komba said.
"Is this kid joking!?He wants to learn from you,that's completely crazy!"Dan shouted in disbelief."Mind explaining what happened here,I must have missed something."
"Well,it is kinda weird."I said.
"That's putting it mildly."Skyress replied.
"I'm dead serious,you've gotta teach me everything you know!"Komba begged.
"He wants you to be his teacher."Dan said laughing then all of us started to but I don't think Shun nor Komba found it funny at all.
"Hey,cut it out guys this no laughing matter."Komba replied.
"Could somebody please explain to me how I ever got into this mess!"Shun complained.
I feel for you,Shun but still it's funny!
