I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN OR PROFIT FROM THIS.
Tragic Loss
Fabia and Mira walked hand in hand leading the new comers through the castle. "So I guess she never mentioned that she was dating a beautiful alien princess who's home world was in the middle of a war?" Hydron asked glancing at Ace. "No. She never mentioned it at all. It's kinda important so why wouldn't she." Ace replied trying to warp his mind around the situation. "Maybe it's because it's her personal life. She has the right to tell who she wants to know. It's like she has to tell everyone." Mylene answered them cruelly. The two shivered from the cold glare she gave them. "Oh and what about you. You seem rather calm about this." Hydron remarked trying to look smug. "I'm in a relationship with her brother. I would have found out sooner or later She let me know. Anything else?" Mylene said ending the conversation with a glare. The rest of the walk was silent and they came to the throne room to find the Neathian queen Serena and captain Elright waiting for them.
Serena smiled as she saw Mira walk in with her sister. They are finally together. Serena stood from the throne and walked over to the happy couple and gave them a warm hug. "I'm so happy for you." She said making the two blush from affection they had received in front of people even though they have done much more than a hug a minute ago. Serena looked at the new comers and back to Mira. "Where is your brother? I assumed he'd come with you upon your return here." She said wanting to know of his location. "He stayed to fight off the enemy outside." Mira said sadly knowing she left him all alone. Serena and Fabia looked at Mira in surprise. "So he's the brawler of that black dragon?" They asked looking to the screen showing the ever growing battle outside.
Krakix and Helios locked hands as they collide with each other sending powerful shockwaves out with red and purple lightning. Krakix's horns glow red sending out lightning as Helios breath his dark flames at close proximity. The attacks collide and sent the elements shooting everywhere. Gill created lightning in his hand and sent it towards Spectra who extend the laser blade in his gauntlet to block the assault. Gill and Krakix poured more power into their attacks and started to push the Vestal and Vestroyen bakugan back or so they thought. 'Just a little more.' Spectra thought as the two Gundalians poured more and more power into their attacks letting down their guard. Spectra smirked as he looked to Helios who has the all knowing gaze in his eyes.
"Now Helios!" He shouted and the green glass on his stomach opened and Helios fired a powerful laser out striking the unprepared Gundalian in the gut staggering his brawler. The two were sent down dragged on the beam and borrowing into planet. Krakix began to block the beam with his armored covered arms redirected it to the side scaring the landscape. "We must make him pay that Krakix." Gill said and his bakugan roared in agreement. They took off flying at full speed towards the enemy delivering a powerful punch to the face and knee to the gut. Helios removed his hand and knee from there targets and the wounds healed almost instantly. [DAMAGE REPAIR COMPLETE. SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY 100%.] A animatronic voice reported. "This new FARBROS system is working well." Spectra said inspecting place on Helios's face that was hit.
'He's completely healed and he fired a laser from his stomach before. Just who the hell are these two?' Gill said sweating wondering how he is going to defeat his opponent. Gill noticed the number of ships decreasing by the second and knew his time was up. "We will finish this on a later date." Be said then ordered Krakix to fallback. The two retreated to the ship remaining as Keith and Helios watch the final ship disappear into the sky. "That was a disappointment. They were on a deadline." Helios said annoyed that was unable to finish their battle. "Yes but with this war going on we'll definitely meet theme again but for now let's head to the castle." Spectra said removing his mask.
Back in the castle Serena and Fabia along with many of the nights were shocked to see a beam emerge from Helios's stomach and his wounds heal with a animatronic voice announce his healed injures. "Mira what is that?" Fabia asked tightening her grip on the Vestals hand. Mira sighed on looked on at the screen seeing Helios and her brother heading towards the castle. "That is Darkus Infinity Helios, a android bakugan created when Helios volunteered to for mechanical implants and replacements merely to increase his power. To him this is a form of evolution. This is his third form. His attribute apparently changed from pyrus to darkus in the process." Mira said sad remembering the first time she saw Helios after his transformation. "How can this happen? Why would this happen?" Fabia said as her eyes vanished behind the bangs of her hair.
"Because it is a improvement. Bakugan are so weak and pathetic on their own so we gave cybertronic implants to improve them. Sadly Helios is the specimen to have had this improvement. I still think mechanical bakugan is even better." Hydron said before Ravenoid rolled into a complete ball and smacked him in the head while Monarus just looked down in shame. "Just who are you?" Serena said not liking his tone or his answer. "This is the former Vestal prince Hydron. He's here merely because he was curious as to where I was going." Mira said pinching the bridge of her nose. "He should have been imprisoned or banished but Mira was kind enough to give home a second because of his actions during the resistance uprising. Oh I am Ace Grit, darkus brawler of the resistance." Ace said bowing as he introduced himself to the royals. Mira looked to the queen and smiled. "Do you mind if we lend a hand in this war?" Ace and Hydron groaned at her announcement now knowing the second reason Mira made this trip. Keith and Helios came in and noticed the former prince and the resistance second in command send quite gloomy.
"What's wrong with them?" Keith asked Mylene then looked to the gloomy two. "They found out why we're here." She said simply as she leaned into Keith making him smirk while she leaned into him blushing a bit.
In the Gundalian royal castle the emperor Barodius sat upon his throne watching the recorded battle between Krakix and Helios. He smiled as he watched the intense might of the two bakugan clash. A woman clad in a white robe with yellow streaks and pale blue hair walked in and sat on the arm rest of the throne. "What do you think Kazarina? Such savagery and raw power the bakugan welds and collected composure his brawler has to control his power. I think they will make a powerful addition to our army." Barodius said looking to the woman beside him. "Yes the two seem quite powerful however with the bakugan's strong will and the brawler's in strong mind I don't think they will fall for simple or even strong hypnosis." Kazarina said looking at the images on the monitor.
"Well then if their so strong then they will simple have to be destroyed." He said as he pulled the woman into his lap. "Yes then you will be another step closer to obtaining your ultimate goal." Kazarina said as she closed the distance between their lips. A sudden sharp agonizing pain shoot through her head snapping her away before they kissed. She clutched her head felling intense pain coursing through her mind. Barodius stared at her watching her writhe in from her headache. "Is everything alright?" She heard him say and nodded getting up from his lap and walking to the door. "Yes I'm fine. I just need to rest a bit. All these late night experiments are starting getting to me." She said leaving the room entirely to retire to her quarters to rest. Barodius narrowed his eyes in her former direction before he summoned Gill. "Yes sir." He said kneeling before the Gundalian emperor.
"I will be preparing to to head to Neathia myself. I want you to conduct the 'process' again while I'm gone." He said getting and walking past his second in command. "As you wish sir." He heard before exiting the throne room and down the hall. "I suppose you are leaving for Neathia." Said a older man in his late fifties. "What do you want Nurzak?" He said the old man standing in his to the ship hanger. "I must warn you not to go any further in this war or I feel you won't make it through alive." The old man warned the young emperor. "On please you have been doing this ever since my father was emperor. Hedging me renounce my plan for the sacred orb the Neathians hold so dear. You may no longer fight as a general however as member of my Twelve Orders and as a citizen of Gundalia you will do as I command. Now out of my way." He commanded.
Nurzak merely closed his eyes in disappointment and moved aside letting the young emperor pass. Barodius entered the ship hanger with a army of Gundalian troops waiting for him however one in particular caught his eye. A young Gundalian most likely in his mid teens with short spiky white hair. "Ren. It is strange to see you ready to depart with me without being ordered to." "I just want to end this senseless bloodshed as quickly as possible." He replied not making eye contact. "It would be best for you to watch your tone. After all it was the emperor that claimed you and your companions from the darkness." Said Barodius's partner bakugan who had hoped onto his shoulder. "And what you Linehalt? Do you have anything to say?" He said referring to the bakugan on Ren's shoulder who remained silent. "Alright if you have nothing to say THEN GET ON THE SHIP NOW! WE ARE HEADING TO NEATHIA!" Barodius ordered making all the soldiers March onboard. He entered the ship himself closing the door behind him as the engines started up.
The ship floated off the ground and speed off to Neathia.
At the same time on Neathia Mira and her group were being showed to their rooms by captain Elright. "Hey Elright where's Jin? The Neathian you were with that lead our ship to the castle a year ago. I haven't seen him around." Mira asked making Elright stop in his tracks. "Jin is dead. He was killed in battle by a enemy general named Kazarina. That battle happened about a week after you left." He informed shocking Mira. "What?" "I think you should know that the princess has taken his loss harshly. He was like a brother to her in the years they grow up. She may not look or act like it but she is suffering inside." He said walking after showing them their rooms. "Obviously after looking through room the first thing she did was look for Fabia. She found the princess sitting in the royal guarden in front of a tombstone with Jin's name on it. Fabia turned to see Mira behind her with teary eyes surprised that she was here. "Elright told me what happened when I asked where Jin was." She said not sure what to say. Fabia got and walked towards her silently.
The next second Fabia throw herself at her warping her arms around the Vestal and clinging to her like her life depended on it. She cried and cried and continued to do so letting all her sorrow flow. When she finally stopped they were sitting in a patch of flowers with her girlfriend hold gently. "Thank you." Fabia said whipping her tears away. "It's ok." Mira expression changed to a sad one knowing what she is about to ask will bring up bad memories. "Just who is this Kazarina?" Fabia's eyes became enraged at the sound of the name. "She is a evil bitch who did this. I swear with every fiber of my being I will kill her." This made Mira shrink in fear. She had never seen such hatred in the princess's eyes before. Their moment together was interrupted by Aranaut who had informed them that a Gundalian ship has been spotted.
Everyone was in the throne looking at the monitor that had the Gundalian in sight that was on the other side of the third shield. Mira turned to the queen and bowed before her. "Please let us try to handle this." "Yes please be careful." Serena gave her permission and wished them good luck. Mira stood and walked towards the exit until she was stopped by her brother who was leaning against the wall. "Mind if we tag along? Helios never did get his fill sense our last opponent left early." He said as Helios released growl. "Not at all. Just don't push yourself." Mira said smiling. "Yeah and just watch and see how the ladies handle business." Wilda spoke with confidence. With that they headed out to the front of the castle.
On board the Gundalian ship Barodius was preparing to head out when Ren stopped him. "Let me handle this." Barodius raised a brow at Ten and smirked. "Now you even ask to take the lead assault on Neathia. Are you finally showing the Gundalian spirit?" He asked which Ren did not answer. He only head out to the battle about to be waged. When they out of the and the Neathian soil did Linehalt finally speak. "I can't stand him." "Neither can I but if we don't do this then things will get out of hand fast." He said glancing back at the ship. "Then we must take care of this fast." Linehalt said as he glow and shifted into his true form and held his hand down for his brawler. Ren climbed into is hand and was lifted up to his shoulder where he got off. Linehalt spread his wings and flow out to the shield.
Upon their bakugan Mira and Keith watched as the shadowy figure approached. Keith put his mask on preparing for battle but wound up catching Mira's eyes. "You still have that? And let alone you brought it with you?" Mira asked causing him to glance at her. "Yes I kept it. I like the way it looks and to be honest I do look quite stylish." He said making his sister sigh and look back to the incoming bakugan with a army behind it. The dark knight with large dragon wings landed in front of them with his army changing behind. As Wilda, Mira, Helios, and Spectra prepared for battle Ren gave the sign and Linehalt raised his hand and stopped his army from advancing shocking both those on the battlefield and the spectators watching. Confused and unsure of what is happening they merely watched as Ren spoke. "My name is Ren Krawler. I have not come here to do battle if I can avoid it so I must ask you to please surrender." This shocked them even more. "My name is Mira Fermin (AN: I just remembered that their last name is Fermin actually. I feel kinda stupid now.) and this is my Keith. I'm sorry but as long as Gundalia chooses to invade Neathia then we will not stand down." Mira said glaring at Ren. "I can respect your decision however if you do not surrender I'm afraid things will get out of hand real fast." "If I may would you mind if I ask you a question?" Spectra intervened in the failing conversation between his sister and the solider. "What is it?" "Why exactly are you trying to get us to surrender now. What are you trying to avoid?" He asked causing Ren to glance back to the Gundalian as his only answer. "I see so you are trying to end this before whoever is on that ship takes charge. Am I correct?" Ren nodded confirming Spectra's suspension. "Well I am sorry to say this but I must agree with my dear sister. We will stand and fight. I'm sorry that won't end in the way you wished it could."
"No I'm sorry." Was that Ren said as Linehalt gave the order to advance on the Neathian forces. Helios and Wilda took action and attacked Linehalt in a heartbeat. The dark knight easily avoided their attacks and elbowing them in the back sending them hurtling behind him. Linehalt created a dark trident in his hand as he walked towards them as the two got to their feet. "I can already see the false in you two. The dragoniod regardless of your slim and quick stature you prefer to use raw power in your fighting style only occasionally using your speed when you have to and the subterranean your body is big bulky and slow so the only thing you can do is really on defense and power rather than fight smart like you most want to. I can easily defeat you." Spectra smiled and in a instant he and Helios vanished and appeared behind him hitting him hard and sliding across the ground. Helios was faster than he looked.
Linehalt charged forward with his spear only to be stopped with his feet encased in rock by Wilda. Linehalt used his dark power to shatter the stone and fly into the sky avoiding a punch from Helios. The black dragon turned and shoot fire from his mouth that the dark knight blocked blocked with his wings. With a strong flap he dispensed the flames and kicked up a blizzard with chunks ice with dark power inside to fall smashing down on his opponents. Wilda endured the hit and leaped into the air slamming dead on with Linehalt and pulling him down to the ground. The impact caused their brawlers to fall off. The three green gems on Linehalt's chest glow and released dark lightning nailing the subterranean and sending bolts everywhere. Spectra jumped off Helios's shoulder to avoid a stray bolt that zoomed past the dragons head. He rushed to his sister's side and extended the blade in his gauntlet and held at Ren's throat.
Back in the ship Barodius sat watching the fight unfold and quickly became bored. "This is disappointing. I expected Ren to have defeated that subterranean bakugan by now." He said as he saw Linehalt engaging the two opponents. "I have had enough of this weak display. Come Dharak it's time to end this." He said getting up from his throne and walking out the door.
Back on the battlefield Ren was held a sword point by Spectra and was unable to move. He glanced at the ship and what he saw made him have a look of horror. Mira and Spectra looked back at he was looking at and they a man in his early twenties standing on the nose of the Gundalian ship with a evil grin on his face. "No I'm to late." Ren said gazing upon his emperor.
Inside the castle Fabia, Serena, and Elright were all shocked to see this. "Just who is that?" Hydron asked twirling a strand of hair as he looked and rest of Mira's group watched in awe. "That's Barodius the Gundalian emperor. In this year of waring he has never taken the charge before. GET THEM OUT OF THERE NOW!" Elright yelled at some of the guards in the room but his was to late as the emperor made his move.
On the battlefield Barodius held his hand to the side dropping his bakugan on the ship. A purple light flashed and Dharka appeared on the he ship with his brawler standing on his back as lightning from his summons forced dark clouds to form over the battlefield. "Now Dharka! Destroy all the shields at once!" Barodius commanded holding his hand out towards the protective barriers around Neathian royal city. "My pleasure!" Dharak replied as he gathered a dark electrifying orb of flames in his mouth. With a thunderous roar he fired sending the beam of power hurtling towards the shields. "Wilda!" "Helios!" The siblings warned and the two bakugan flow as fast as they could to intercept the assault. "Linehalt!" Ren yelled and his bakugan flow out to the two at surprising speed. "No stop! You will die!" He said holding his hands out in hopes they will heed his words.
"Out of our way!" Helios demanded punching the knight in the face casting him aside. Helios and Wilda took their positions in front of the shield and put up barriers of their own. The impact the beam made with them was so intense that it forced them to collide with the shield themselves. The two put as much strength into their shields as possible to prevent the barriers from being destroyed but it was still to much. The shield cracked behind them and was weakened enough that it could give way any second. However the that was the worst to come. "AHHHHHHH!" Helios and Wilda roared trying to keep up their efforts to last as long as possible. The shield Wilda had up began to crack and crack some more and she knew what was to come. "I'm sorry Mira!" She screamed as her shield shattered and she caught in the blast. Her body glow a bright brown before bursting into particles shocking everyone.
Maria's eyes widened at the sight. She dropped to her knees unable to take her eyes off the particles that disappeared one by one into nothingness. "Wilda!" Mira screamed in horror at the sight of her partners death right in front of her. Helios's shield cracked as well but was still holding strong however Barodius created lightning in his hand and fired it at Dharak's beam applying its power. Now with the enhanced power on Helios the first barrier shattered behind him causing him to be dragged on the beam and slamming into the second shield. The second shield began to crack as Helios lost hold of his barrier and was hit with the full force of the attack. His body held up a little but soon be flashed purple and reverted into ball form as the beam ended. Helios returned to Spectra who dropped him after. Spectra looked at Helios and saw his ball form was smoking. Ren watched as Mira desperately grasped at the fading particles of her deceased friend. He glared back up Barodius who was laughing at this triumph. 'How could he?' He thought as he called Linehalt over to him. The knight went to his brawler and lifted him up to his shoulder before flying to the ship in silence.
On the nose of the ship Dharak was preparing another assault when Barodius told him not to. The emperor looked at the chaos he and his partner caused and smiled. "That will be all for today. Seeing this I have had my fill. Let us return to Gundalia." He said jumping off Dharak's back and walking into the ship with dark dragon following. The army below returned to the ship and the ship speed off back to their home world. Spectra watched them heading home as he took off his mask. Keith turned to his sister who was in morning. A soldier came up to him telling him that the barrier generators were destroyed along with the shield and that second was permanently damaged. 'This was Mira's first battle. How could things have gone so wrong?" He thought as he helped his depressed sister up and into the castle.
