Author's Reasons: I love the Bakugan video game(I own a DS and Wii). I think it's awesome that you get your own Bakugan and you get to choose what Attribute Leonidas should be(I find he's so awesome that not many would complain. Who doesn't like Dragons?). Not only that, you get your own Rival who has his own Darkus Bakugan called Vladitor. They kinda remind me of Shadow the Hedgehog actually... . Also, funny thing is you could make your character cosplay as Roxas from Kingdom Hearts.
Important Notes: So you're probably wondering where this is going. Story follows the main series. Specifically the first one since Leonidas and Vladitor appeared during that timeline. Also, if for some odd reason I feel like making a whole buncha of chapters of this story then I'll post it. If that happens, prepare yourselves for jokes from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Leonidas's Attribute is Haos. Because in the DS(I don't know about the Wii because I don't own a Bakugan game nor know anyone that has one), the Leonidas in Alpha Blaster and Omega Eraser is a Haos Leonidas. Besides, it fits seeing that Haos is Light and Vladitor is a Darkus, which is Dark.
Also, OC's Ability Cards are original Cards. I try not to make them over powered.
Disclaimer: Do not own Bakugan. Nor Sonic the Hedgehog. Nor anything that seems familiar to some of you which hails from other series. They belong to their respective owners.
"Great. I'm lost!" A 13 year old boy stated. He had messy and spiky black hair, with a few cowlicks defying gravity. He had purple eyes, and wore a sleeveless dark blue hoodie over a black short sleeve shirt, white baggy pants, and black and white sneakers. He wore dark blue fingerless gloves, matching his hoodie, that were long enough that they almost reach his elbows. Around his waist was a belt, with a card holder along with what seemed to be ball holders that held up two metal balls. One blue and the other black.
"Fool." Someone commented from inside the teen's hoodie. That someone was actually a small white and yellow metal ball that took the form of a toy dragon.
"I don't want to hear it from you Leonidas," the teen muttered to the ball.
"Must... keep... moving... . Must... stay... focus... ." The two heard someone say. The teen looked around, and saw only three kids about his age. The three were very familiar to him. The three were part of the Battle Brawlers, the ones who thought up the rules most kids his age played. He looked at where they were looking, only to see a small blue ball, taking the shape of a humanoid chameleon or something similar, walking while dragging some pieces of jewelry. "Must... rest before exhaustion... ." The ball stopped chanting to itself after that.
"A Bakugan... ." Leonidas stated, jumping onto the teen's shoulder.
"You are so lucky that this Bakugan can talk too, idiot." Scolded the teen. One of the rules he had put onto Leonidas that he cannot talk in front of people, especially those who play Bakugan. The three Brawlers that were mentioned before looked at his direction and spotted him talking to Leonidas. "Uh... hey." He said lamely, giving off a lame wave.
"Oh no! I've been spotted!" The blue Bakugan from before stated. "Abort mission! Abort mission!" The Bakugan chanted to itself again while transforming into it's ball form. "Wait... maybe they didn't spot me... yeah... . Maybe I could take a peak!" From the viewing hole above it's head, the Bakugan looked between the Brawlers and the teen while whistling. They all looked at him.
"Does he really think we didn't spot him?" asked the teen.
"Yup." One of the Brawlers, a boy named Dan who mainly wore red, stated.
"But what's it doing with all that jewelry?" The only girl in the group, named Runo, asked.
"I don't know... ." The smallest of the group, Marucho, said. "But I think that's last year's line... ." The teen had to sweat drop at that.
"Who cares if it's from last year... ? It's technically stealing... ." The teen stated.
"Fine... . Take me to your leader... ." The Bakugan, reverting into it's humanoid form, sulked.
"Huh? Our leader?" the four humans questioned.
"Yes, your leader! And I'm willing to negotiate! For I am Aquos Preyas!" the Bakugan declared.
"Really? I have a Darkus Preyas(1)" The teen stated.
"You do!-?" The Brawlers and Preyas asked in shock.
"Well... look what the cat dragged in! Dragging On and Tigerpuss!" Preyas mocked Dan's Bakugan, a Dragonoid named Drago, and Runo's, Tigrerra. Leonidas just calmly stood next to Preyas.
"Dragging On!-?" Drago repeated, furious.
"Don't ever call me 'Tigerpuss'." Tigrerra threatened.
"Hey man, this is wicked!" Dan told Marucho, stuffing his face with food that Marucho asked his servants to bring over. Runo was nearby, filling her plate with food and sometimes tasting one.
"Yeah! This is some really great grub!" Runo complimented, chewing on some food. "But what's a Bakugan and a Brawler doing in your party?" She asked.
"My parents dragged me here... ." Muttered the teen, sitting on the wooden table in the empty room (the only thing in it was a computer with wide monitor and a small keyboard for Marucho). "But I'm sure the adults are having a blast." The teen commented.
"Aw, don't be like that Pit(1)!" Marucho said, watching the conversation between the four Bakugan. Or rather, three as Leonidas rarely talked.
"You do realize that there are rarely any kids our age in this party, right?" Pit asked while Marucho chuckled nervously.
"You don't mind me crashing in, right Machacho?" asked Preyas, prying into the conversation.
"That's Marucho." Corrected Marucho.
"You know, Preyas doesn't seem to talk like the other Bakugans." Dan stated, seeing that Preyas knew some slang while the other Bakugans didn't.
"Well... I'm no stranger to town... ." Preyas stated. "I've been here for six months now!" This news didn't shock any of them. They all just chalked it off as Preyas being one of the earlier arrivals between the Bakugans. "So I've been around the block, hehe... quite a few times... ." At that embarrassing note Preyas used an arm to hide his face in shame. "But I won't bore you with the details. Well actually there's this one time, really funny stories with these creatures, with these claws and had me up in this tree, and then they... ." Preyas would've said more, had he not been interrupted by one of Marucho's butlers.
"Sorry sir, for interrupting your fascinating story." The butler stated, giving apologizing bow. "But you have further guests to attend do." The butler told Marucho.
"What? For me?" Marucho asked. As far as he knew the guests that he asked to attend had arrived already. As if to answer his question, two girls walked into the room. The two were very familiar, as everyone in town knew them. They were Jenny and Jewls, the two teens that made the group JJ Dolls.
"Hey boys, we're here to say; to say that we're here to Brawl with you today!" Jenny rhymed as she and Jewls leaned on each other.
"So get ready, cause we're here to play!" Jewls stated as the two began to do their iconic twirl.
"We're Jenny and Jewls; the JJ Dolls!" They said at the exact same time.
"Wow... the JJ Dolls? No way!" Dan said, not really believing the two idols were right in front of him.
"Wow... real life girls are in my party!-?" Marucho said, going lovey-dovey over Jewls.
"Uh... isn't Runo a girl... ?" Pit asked, looking at the person in question. Said person had an aura of anger over her and glared at him. "Wait... you're boy... ?" She glared even harder. "Right, girl. Angry at Dan and Marucho. Got it." Pit said quickly.
"Pathetic... ." Leonidas muttered.
"Shut it you... !" Grumbled Pit.
The JJ Dolls took out one of their Bakugans. Jewls took out a Subterra Bakugan while Jenny took out an Aquos. "Let's throw; a Bakugan Brawl Party!" Jenny cheered.
"So do you guys feel like Brawling?" asked Jewls.
"Anyplace, anytime, I'm ready to roll!" Dan said with an eager nod. He quickly took out his remaining Pryus Bakugans and struck out a lame pose. "I'll warn you now, I am one of the best!" Dan stated.
"Boo. Lame pose." Pit and Preyas said at the exact same time.
"Oh shut it! Nobody asked you two!" Dan comically yelled at Pit. "Anyway, the name's Dan! And I take no prisoners!" Dan stated, before blushing while looking at Jenny. "Well... maybe just this once... ." He said.
Runo however, let out a muffled scream of an anger. "This sucks! I only have one Brawler!" Runo stated, referring to Tigrerra.
"Tiss unfortunate madam." Tigrerra commented.
"Ready to rock Marucho?" asked Dan to the boy in question.
"Yep!" Marucho stated, determined.
"If I may Dan... ." Pit said, raising up a hand. "Mind me and Leonidas take a shot?" He asked, putting down the raised hand while putting the other one on his waist.
"What? No man, come on! It's not everyday someone gets to Brawl an idol!" Dan complained.
"Don't think I haven't seen you and Marucho going lovey-dovey over the JJ Dolls... ." Pit said, eyeing the JJ Doll who were waiting patiently by chatting with the sulking Runo and the talking Bakugans. "Next thing you know they might use their feminine charm to make you throw the match."
"Well you sure sound like you've experienced it." Marucho noted.
"I did and it almost cost me my first loss." Pit stated, causing the JJ Dolls to look at him in interest.
"You haven't loss once before?" asked Dan, folding his arms and in suspicion.
"Nope. Check the rankings if you don't believe me." stated Pit. Marucho did so and his computer opened up a screen that showed the World Bakugan Rankings. All of the Battle Brawlers, who made the rules of Bakugan were in the top 10. The only exception was a girl named Alice who didn't play Bakugan. Other names popped up, but none of them were Pit's. "Scroll down." Pit told Marucho, who did so and everyone saw that Pit was number 13.
"Wow... lucky number 13 eh?" Dan said, giving Pit a pat on the back in congratulations. "But man, zero Losses? Those fights must've been tight!" Dan stated, comparing the number of Wins and Ties Pit had gained.
"They were. But as long as nobody wins against me I don't really care if I don't get a perfect record." Pit said, remembering Masquerade's, a boy who was quickly making his way to the top Bakugan Brawlers list, perfect record of zero Losses and Ties.
"Man! I definitely like to see you Brawl now!" Dan said. They all nodded and agreed that Pit would take Dan's place in the upcoming Brawl.
"Man, what is taking Marucho so long!-?" Dan complained impatiently as he waited in the back with Runo while Pit stood in front of Jewls yet Jenny wasn't standing in front of Marucho due to the 11 year old boy being missing. They were all currently on the rooftop of Marucho's mansion, preparing to Brawl.
"I'm coming!" Marucho called out from a hallway leading to the rooftop. "Sorry I took so long, I got this from my Dad's factory!" Marucho stated, giving a black and white Bakugan Launcher to Pit while he put on a blue and white one.
"Oh man, are those Bakugan Launcher's? So cool! I'm jealous!" Dan stated, as the two activated their Launchers.
"Sorry, but I was in a hurry so I didn't have the chance to take yours." Marucho stated, giving an apologetic look to Dan and Runo.
"You didn't have to take ours either. It wouldn't be fair if we use it on people without Launchers." Pit stated, referring to the JJ Dolls.
"Yoohoo!" Jenny called out to them. "Not so fast boys!" Jenny said, waving a finger at them in a 'Tsk, Tsk' manner. "Hey Jewls!" She called out to her partner.
"Guess what!-? We brought ours too!" Jewls stated, throwing Jenny a black and blue shooter while she put on a black and yellow one.
"So boys, ready for a friendly game of Bakugan?" Jenny asked, pulling out a Bakugan Gate Card with a demonic skull on it.
"That's the Doom Card!" Dan and Runo stated.
"The Doom what?" Pit, confused.
"It sends our Bakugan to the Doom Dimensions, and they'll be gone forever!" Runo quickly explained. Leonidas quickly tensed at the name of the dimension, which Pit noted. He made a note to confront him about it later, and instead decided on persuade the JJ Dolls not to play it.
"Well you heard the lady. If you cherish your Bakugan you won't play it." Pit stated.
"What makes you think we'll lose?" Jewls asked, letting out a cocky smirk.
"It doesn't matter if you lose the match, if you lose a round your Bakugan will be banish!" Dan warned them all. "How could you be so stupid to trust Maquerade?"
"Masquerade plays the Doom Card?" Pit asked.
"He's the one who's giving them out!" Runo explained.
"Why would do this?" Marucho asked, almost heartbroken.
"It's just business. We want to play Bakugan, but our manager won't let us until we get paid. Masquerade told us to bust your moves. It's a win-win situation for us!" Jenny explained.
"Say bye bye to your Bakugan boys!" Jewls stated, as the two idols took out another Card, which had the symbols of all the Bakugan's Attributes.
"It's the other way around ladies!" Pit declared as he and Marucho took out the same Card.
"Field Open!" The four declared, flipping the Card over. Marucho's and Jenny's glowed blue, while Jewls glowed yellowish brown. Pit's was an interesting case, as his was white, showing that he didn't use one specific Attribute. The Attribute Symbols appeared below the four, circling them. Dan quickly took out his and Runo's Cards, getting some complaints from the girl, and put Runo's in her hand before dragging her into the rainbow pillar that had shot from the circle.
Unaware to them all, time around the world had quickly slowed down. The birds that were passing by began to slowly flap their wings, before stopping completely yet they were frozen in the air. Cars stopped in the middle of the road, yet none of the other cars moved. Someone had spilled tea, before stopping as well while his tea floated into the air.
As the world stopped, the group were transported into a pocket space where there were portals representing the different Bakugan Attributes a white floor of unknown substance that expanded over the horizon. "Doom Card, Set!" the JJ Dolls declared, throwing the Doom Card into the ground where they glowed purple and were absorbed into the ground, releasing three purple waves that showed the Doom Dimension was ready to capture some poor Bakugan who loses a battle.
"Gate Card, Set!" the four participants stated, throwing Cards into the ground. However, unlike the Doom Cards, they landed on their flat surface and expanded with their respective glows.
"Now... let's get Brawling!" Jewls declared. "Subterra Stinglash, Stand!" she stated as she shot one of her Subterra Bakugans. "Perfect bullseye!" Jewls commented, posing as her Bakugan began skidding onto her Card. Marucho blushed, seeing as he had a crush on the girl. Her Bakugan took on it's other form, which glowed before transforming into it's true form; a Subterra Stinglash.
"What's up with Stinglash?" Marucho asked as he and Pit checked their Bakupod which showed their profile picture along with the girls, how many Bakugan they have left, whose turn they were on, the Cards on the field and currently the G-Power of Stinglash.
"Stinglash's Current Power Level Is 290 Gs. No Other Data Available."
"Okay... . A power level of 300 Gs huh? Let's give Preyas a try!" Marucho stated, holding up the Bakugan in his palm.
"What? My nap is over already?" Preyas yawned, transforming into his Bakugan Form.
"Well... Jewls's Bakugan is Subterra... ." Marucho reconsidered.
"Make up your mind already!" Pit and Leonidas yelled from their side of the field, making Marucho flinch.
"Hey! Don't pressure the little guy!" Dan yelled at Pit and Leonidas at their impatience, with Runo agreeing fully. They just let out annoyed 'Tch.'
"Don't worry about what Attribute to play Machacho. Just play me." Preyas said in a 'Don't-worry-about-it-I-got-it-covered' tone.
"So does that mean you have a plan?" Marucho question, ignoring that Preyas got his name wrong again.
"Of course I do!" Preyas stated, sounding almost annoyed. "I'm planning on winging it!" Preyas declared quickly.
"Winging it!-?" Marucho asked in a dismayed voice while sweat dropping. "Think that will work... ?"
"Like a charm!" Preyas assured him. "Just stand back and watch the Magic!" With that, Preyas reverted back into his Ball Form.
"Alright then! Prepare yourself for battle!" Marucho declared, putting in Preyas into the Launcher. "Bakugan Brawl! Aquos Preyas, Stand!" Marucho ordered as Preyas rolled onto Jewls's Card. He turn into his Bakugan Form, eyes glowing briefly before transforming into his True Bakugan Form in a pillar of water.
"Aquos Preyas, has arrived!" Preyas declared with a smirk as he stood tall, literally.
"Wow, talk about cool!" Dan said in awe.
"Yeah!" Runo agreed fully.
"Wow Preyas, you sure look awesome!" Marucho said.
Preyas chuckled. "Get ready kiddies, cause it's show time!" Preyas declared, making a ridiculous pose while the fins on his face stood up.
Pit had to facepalm at that. "Looks like you spoke too soon... ." Pit told Marucho, who agreed.
"And he said my pose looked ridiculous... ." Dan muttered.
"He should've just stayed standing up... ." Runo said with a sigh as she buried her face in her hands.
"Pick a Card! Any Card!" Preyas began taunting, making ridiculous poses in the process. The idols had to giggle at his act.
"Nice circus act! If you want a Card, here's an Attribute Boost coming right up!" Jewls declared as her Card began opening.
"Great! We have a volunteer!" Preyas said, giving the peace sign to his buddies. "Now if you excuse me... ," Preyas stated, jumping high into the sky as he was covered in a rainbow aura. "I'll just change... ," he said as the aura intensified before fading, turning him into brown, orange and light brown. "... into something more comfortable!" Preyas declared, landing in a T-Position.
"WHAT!-? HE CHANGED HIS ATTRIBUTE INTO SUBTERRA!-?" Dan, Marucho and Runo said in shock.
"But that's impossible!" Dan cried out.
"It's not unheard of, but I've never seen it before!" Drago said in awe.
"The Preyas species are known for changing it's Attribute." Tigrerra informed.
"Kind of cheating, but it allows people to surprise their opponents since they never know what Attribute their going to use." Pit stated, shrugging the information off as he had seen the ability before hand thanks to his Darkus Preyas.
"Ah... that feels better. Much better." Preyas said darkly.
"No way! That's not fair! It can't change from Aquos to Subterra!" Jenny stated.
"You heard the Bakugan. Preyases can change their Attribute." Pit stated.
"This clown is like a tricked out chameleon!" Jewls stated, frowning as she will lose this round. The field changed into a desert, thanks to Jewls's Gate Card.
"Power Increase By 150 Gs On Both Teams."
Seeing that his G-Power was higher at the moment, Preyas quickly took the chance to knee kick Stinglash right in the face, sending the Bakugan backwards. Stinglash, defeated, quickly glowed orange and rolled back to Jewls. "Hey, I thought her Bakugan was supposed to be send to this Doom Dimension?" Questioned Pit.
"Oh yeah... . It only works on their opponents... ." Dan quickly explained.
"THEN WHY THE HECK DID YOU TELL ME THAT IT WORKED BOTH WAYS IDIOT!-?" Yelled Pit, causing Dan to cover his ears while Preyas taunted the JJ Dolls before reverting back into his blue Ball Form.
"Thanks Preyas!" Marucho thanked his Bakugan. "You were great!"
"Great? Ha! I was awesome!" Preyas stated.
"Alright! The shows over! Time to get to business!" Jenny stated with an arrogant smirk, full intent on avenging her partner.
"Alright, bring it on(3)!" Pit stated with an arrogant smirk of his own.
"Time to get busy then! Bakugan Brawl!" Jenny stated, launching a Aquos Bakugan to her Field. "Ready to battle, Pitty?" Jenny said cutely, causing Pit to blush.
"Don't call me Pitty." Pit growled.
"So mean." Jenny commented. "Aquos Fear Ripper, Stand!" A blue Bakugan with large claws appeared on her Field.
Pit checked his Bakupod, and noticed that Fear Ripper had 300 Gs. "I have just the guy to beat her... . But I bet she's got a backup plan with that Gate Card... ." Pit told Leonidas and the others.
"Hey! Are you going to stand there or are you going to Brawl!-?" Jenny asked impatiently.
"Yeah yeah. Just don't go crying to me for losing a round." Pit stated, loading Leonidas into his Launcher. "Bakugan Brawl!" Pit stated, shooting Leonidas. "Haos Leonidas, Stand!" Pit commanded as Leonidas skidded onto Jenny's Gate Card, transforming into his True Bakugan Form in a pillar of Light.
"Gate Card Open!" Jenny commanded, and the area quickly changed into an ocean. "Energy Merge!"
"Energy What?" asked Dan as something happened between Fear Ripper and Leonidas.
"Aquos Fear Ripper 300 G-Power Increase By 100 Gs. Haos Leonidas 340 G-Power Decrease By 100 Gs."
"What? No way! Now's Fear Ripper is stronger!" Dan stated, as Fear Ripper was standing with 400 Gs while Leonidas was merely standing with 240 Gs.
"That's what Ability Cards are for." Pit stated calmly, pulling one out. However, Jenny beat him to the punch.
"I don't think so! Ability Card, Activate!" Jenny stated as the gates of the card opened to reveal an Aquos Gargonoid surround in a tornado of water. "G-Power Bump! Here's the deal; it increases my Bakugan G-Power by 80 Gs. Ya dig?" Asked Jenny as Fear Ripper's G-Power increased even further as it was surrounded by a water tornado.
"Do something Pit! Or Leonidas will be sent to the Doom Dimension!" Runo stated.
"If you treasure your partner, then play that Ability Card!" Tigrerra.
"I know what I'm doing! Geez." Pit stated. "Ability Card, Activate!" The Ability Card released a purple wave. "Negative Wave. It resets the G-Power of our Bakugan, canceling any decrease or increase of G-Power." Pit explained in a bored tone.
"Aquos Fear Ripper G-Power Reset Back To 300 Gs. Haos Leonidas G-Power Reset Back To 340 Gs"
Leonidas roared as he flew into the air, before diving at Fear Ripper, clawing it's face twice and slamming it with his tail. As Fear Ripper was thrown back, it was covered by a blue aura before transforming back into Ball Form, rolling at Jenny's feat.
"Wow. They managed to take our Bakugan out just like that." Jenny stated.
"Yup." Jewls said with a nod. "Looks like we're going to have to step our game!" Jewls stated, before loading up her Bakugan into her Launcher. "Bakugan Brawl! Subterra Saurus, Stand!" She ordered as a yellow anthropomorphic triceratops in brown armor stood on Pit's Gate Card. Since she was the only one with a Bakugan on the field, she had to end her turn. But not before making Marucho blush.
"Calm yourself down Marucho. Or otherwise I'm going to have to take those divas down by myself." Pit stated.
"Hey! Don't think just you're number 13 doesn't mean you're better then us, Pitty!" Jenny stated in anger, puffing out her cheeks.
"Even the mighty have to fall!" Jewls stated.
"Sorry! Don't feel like going down just yet!" Pit stated. He then began whispering to Marucho. "Hey Marucho, think you can let an Aquos Attribute Bakugan on the field?" asked Pit.
"Uh... why?" asked Marucho, who was confused.
"Just as a backup." Pit stated ominously.
"Bakugan Brawl!" Marucho stated, Launching a Bakugan on the Field. "Aquos Juggernoid, Stand!" A blue turtle appeared on the only unoccupied Gate Card; Marucho's. "Ability Card, Activate!" Marucho stated, throwing an Ability Card and Juggernoid, causing the turtle to release a blue energy wave. "Water Refrain! According to my calculations, by using Water Refrain, no one would be able to use an Ability Card until Juggernoid gets taken out or until my Turn comes up!"
Pit facepalmed. "You should've saved it for later... ." He muttered to himself.
"Oh yeah? Well then we'll just have to go with the flow!" Jenny stated. "Gate Card, Set!" She stated, throwing down another Gate Card underneath Pit's. "Bakugan Brawl! Aquos Gargonoid, Stand!" The blue gargoyle previously mentioned by an Ability Card appeared with a roar.
"Guess I got no choice. You're up Prey." He told a to a black and purple Bakugan.
"Already?" The Bakugan questioned.
"Yup." Pit said with a nod. "Gate Card, Set!" He threw a Gate Card next to Jenny's. "Bakugan Brawl! Darkus Preyas, Stand!" A black, dark purple and dark pink Preyas stood. He yawned as if he was bored.
"And as usual, he made me stand in an empty Card. Again." He commented to himself, causing the JJ Dolls to suspect Pit was planning something.
"And as usual, you can't keep your mouth shut." Pit stated. Prey just shrugged and yawned again.
(1) When I played Bakugan Battle Brawlers on my DS, I was making changes to my Deck and then the game glitched on me and gave me a Darkus Preyas even though I already had the regular Aquos Preyas. Because I got Darkus Preyas from a glitch, it only had 10 G-Power.
(2) Hm... he has a Haos Bakugan and a Darkus as well... . Kid Icarus anyone?
(3) Sonic's quote at the beginning of a race in Sonic Riders and it's sequels. The tone of voice is the one in Sonic Free Riders, since it feels the most taunting when compared to the original/ Zero Gravity version.
*Sigh* I'm making it a habit of not finishing chapters of previews. Oh well, as long as it's near 5000 words I don't really care what you guys say.
