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 Six:Influence

When we dropped Komba off at Kenya,we were confronted by Chan-Lee,Klaus and Julio wanting a rematch against Dan,Runo and Marucho but during the middle of the battle Preyas came back as Klaus's bakugan but Runo managed to return Preyas back to Marucho again and eventually those three got over their differences to beat the others and they finally got free of Masquerade's influence.

We invitied them to join but they declined and Chan told us where we could find Joe at long last but she didn't tell us if he was working for Masquerade so I guess the bakugan brawlers have to find out for themselves!

We arrived at the hospital that Joe was staying at the next day,it turns out he's quite a sick kid!

"Well,here we are,gang."Dan said.

"And this is the hospital Chan told us about."Runo said.

"According to Chan,he should be here."Dan said.

"Do you really Joe might be one of Masquerade's minions?"Marucho asked.

"That's what we wanna find out."Julie replied.

"And we will."I said.

"If he is,he'll have to face the wrath of Preyas."Preyas said.

"Well,I say it's time to find out the deal with this creep."Dan we did arrive at the hospital,it's still a big place to looking around for someone cluelessly so we just asked the receptionist.

"Yes,he's here in room 501,that's the east wing that's to your left."She said.

To your left,shouldn't that be right?

"Thanks,lady."Dan said rushing towards the elevator but didn't get in but Drago did.

"Where is that Drago hiding?"Julie asked.

"I say we should continue finding Joe."Preyas said.

"Maybe we're in the wrong wing of the hospital."Alice replied."We should try the west wing."

"No Alice,the receptionist said the east wing,it's here."Runo said.

"What if Dan led us to the wrong one?"Marucho asked.

"It wouldn't be that surprising."I replied.

"Oh,you're right!He's such an idiot!"Runo sighed.

"I suggest we look for Joe on our own."Shun answered.

"That would make things a whole lot easier."I said.

We decided to try the west wing(sounds like beauty and the beast.)and we found Joe's room but he wasn't in there but his Mum was which made leaving more hard.

"Is this Joe's room?"Runo asked.

"Yes,are you friends of Joe?"She asked.

"Well,kind of."Runo said.

"Joe's just out for a few minutes with his doctor."She replied.

"Oh,I see."Runo said sounding disappointed."We'll come back later!"

"No,please stay he'll be back any minute,please make yourselves at home."Joe's mum answered.

She wasn't kidding,she served us cookies and everything but I wasn't in the mood to eat so I didn't have any.

"Why is Joe here?"I asked.

"Oh,he's just here for some tests his doctor just said he needs a little rest,I must say my Joe is one tough little trooper."Joe's mum said.

Whilst we were doing small talk with Joe's mum,Dan actually found him and challenged him to a brawl he's a Haos brawler like me and Runo,but he hasn't actually played bakugan before but he did well apprantly until he passed out during the match and had to be brought to emergency room.

"How bad is it?"Dan asked.

"Just a fainting spell."Marucho said."Low blood sugar is what the doctor said."

"His mother said he wasn't supposed to do anything too stressful."Alice replied.

"You were there, exactly happened he collapsed?"Runo asked.

"We were right in the middle of a brawl and the next thing I know,he's down."Dan explained."Oh,man."

Later we were all in Joe's room kind of comtiplating the incident that happened right in front of us but I was just seeing the view from the window.

"This is all my fault,if I knew the guy was gonna keel over.I never would have challenged him."Dan said."I just hope he's okay."

"Hey,don't blame yourself it isn't your fault,Dan."Runo replied.

When Marucho got into Joe's computer,it turns out Joe sent a message to all of the top bakugan brawlers around the world warning them not to face Masquerade in a bakugan brawl so we all knew Joe was on our side then but the subject changed when Alice came into the room.

"How is he?"Runo asked.

"They should know better in the morning."Alice said.

"I wanna know right now!I'm gonna ask the doctor myself!"Dan shouted but Runo grabbed him.

"You're not going anywhere,you're gonna wait like the rest of us."Runo replied.

We had to wait until the next day but Joe was completely fine which made us all feel a lot better we saw him back in his hospital room again.

"It's good to see you up and about,we were worried about you."Dan said.

"Oh,it's really no big deal.I'm ready to brawl again,I wanna feel the way I felt when I battled you see this city hasn't got top ranked players but when you came to see me it was the best feeling ever."Joe explained.

"If you wanted to battle me,you should have just said you didn't have to pretend you were working for Masquerade."Dan replied.

"Sorry about that."Joe said laughing a little.

"Actually,I should be apologising for ever thinking something like that."Dan answered.

"Oh,yeah.I found the infinity core."Joe mentioned.

Now that's something you don't hear in your everyday conversation but it did grab my interest.

"Yeah,I found it in one of my dreams."Joe explained the whole story of Wavern and the infinity core to us.

"Whoa,some story."Dan replied.

"Wavern is Naga's twin sister."Drago mentioned.

"Intresting but not surprising."Tigrerra said.

"So where did this Wavern disappear to?"Dan asked.

"Sorry,but she just disappeared."Joe replied.

"Intresting,that means we don't have to look for the infinity core anymore."Shun answered."As long as it stays inside Wavern,it's another level of protection against Naga."

"I guess so."I said.

"And that means there's only one thing all of us have to do."Runo replied.

"Our bakugan have to evolve into their ultimate forms before Hydranoid."Marucho said.

"To stop Naga from taking the infinity core."Alice said.

"Boy,I sure wish I could go with you guys but I'm stuck here for the next couple of days."Joe answered.

"Don't sweat it!From now on,you're a part of the brawlers!"Dan decleared.

"I showed everyone your message you posted on your website."Marucho said.

"And you're forgetting we really need you to track down Wavern and the infinity core."Runo replied.

"I told you,you were part of the team forever."Dan said.

"I-I don't what to say,but thanks."Joe answered.

We all dropped off back home again even though it would be great to see my sister again I decided to stay at Runo's for a while though this adventure was over...I just realised that if Joe wasn't the spy,it has to be one of the brawlers...but who?
