Chapter 6
Viki glared at jet and folded her arms across her chest. "Jeez do you have to turn everything into a big joke?"
Jet shrugged her shoulders and held up her hands in a helpless gesture. "Sorry, I can't help it." Her lips turned up into a sly grin. "It's part of my oh-so incredible personality."
Viki groaned and punched her friend in the shoulder. "Come on smart one. Lets see if anyone around here can tell us where we are." Jet frowned slightly, before breaking into a huge grin. She started to giggle. Viki turned around so that she was fully facing Jet.
"Now what's so funny?" Jet stopped giggling and gave Viki a half crazed smile.
"Well, I mean do we really have to? I already have one guess about where we are." Viki rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips.
"And that would be?"
"Hmm, black cards that have the attribute hexagram on the front and randomly transport people to unknown places, and a big fountain in the middle of a park with a whole load of pigeons around it. Sound familiar?"
Viki sighed and threw up her hands in exasperation. "I know where you're going with this Jet and I'm telling you, you have absolutely no proof that this place is what you think it is." Jet cocked her head, the corners of her lips turning down to form a frown.
"But, Viki it's painfully obvious that we're in the bakugan world, I mean…" Jet began to search around the park for something she could use to help her argument. Then her head turned to the fountain and she pointed at. "Is that not the fountain where the brawlers battle in the TV show?" Viki folded her arms across her chest.
"Yes, but for all you know there could be a fountain very much like that one in our dimension."
"Maybe, but have you ever seen one like it in our dimension?" Jet asked one of her eyebrows raising questioningly.
"Well, no… But that doesn't mean that there isn't! There could be one somewhere we've never been! I mean, I highly doubt that you've seen every inch of the world!"
"I wouldn't have to! If someone else happened to see a fountain in a park that looked exactly like the one in the bakugan series, then there would have been pictures of it on the Internet, now wouldn't there!" Jet retorted thrusting a finger in Viki's direction.
Viki didn't answer, only remained standing there, with her arms folded across her chest meeting Jet's glare evenly.
"Well, wouldn't there?" When Viki again remained silent, Jet stomped her foot in frustration. "Damn it Viki, you just won't admit that you're wrong." Viki snorted in response. Jet huffed. "Well, fine then!" She turned on her heel and began to stomp away. "I'm leaving."
"Viki sighed in aggravation, closing her eyes and counting to ten in an attempt to calm herself down.
Jet on the other hand continued to stomp away, not at all paying attention to where she was going, when she collided head on with someone else. Jet stumbled backwards, falling down onto her backside. Jet winced as the pain from her backside seared up her spine. "Watch it!" She hissed.
"Why don't you watch it!" An angry male voice retorted, Jet squinted her eyes to glare up at the tall brown haired teenage boy that stood above her. "Rookie brawlers like you, ought to pay some respect to champion brawlers like me." Jet snorted.
"Hmph! Champion? Don't make me laugh jerk! I could school you faster, than you could blink!" Jet started to rise to her feet, her fists clenching and unclenching.
"Dude, are you gonna take that?" Jet turned her head at the sound of heavy footsteps approaching them from the right. Another large, teenage boy that seemed to be in pretty good physical shape was walking over to them. No doubt "Champion's" friend.
The boy scoffed. "Of course not! I eat rookies like her for breakfast!" He reached into the card holder on his belt and pulled out a card. He glanced over at his friend. "Wanna have some fun?"
His friend smirked and pulled out a card as well, "Sure, just make sure you save some of her for me." Jet narrowed her eyes, sizing up the guys.
"Two on one? Kinda cowardly considering that you guys are so called 'champions'." Inwardly however jet was feeling overwhelmed. By the way those guys were holding their cards, they were no doubt going to use them to open the field. Something, jet wasn't 100% sure the cards she had were even capable of doing! But there was no way in hell, Jet was about to let these jerks know it. "Besides how can you even call yourself champions if A. you're not in the top 10 and B. I don't even know your names."
The guys merely laughed. "Oh, don't worry, once, we're done, we'll make sure you remember the names Jacob Howards and Ricky Herald."
"I don't care if your names are Bob the tomato or Larry the cucumber!" A voice from behind Jet, made them all jump. They all turned to see Viki approaching them. She walked over to them and stood beside Jet, a cocky mirk on her face and her hands on her hips. "But, if you're determined to fight together, me and jet here will gladly team up and school your sorry butts. Then it will be you who will be remembering the names Viki Long and Jet Raynet." She reached into her belt and pulled out the card on top. She turned to her head and glanced over at Jet. She smiled encouragingly. Jet's lips turned back up into a smirk and she gave her friend a slight nod.
"Alrighty boys," Her hand flew to the case on her belt and like Viki had done before yanked out the first card with a flourish. Jet held it so it hid her right eye from the boys. "You ready to throw down?"
"I think it's time to make some girls cry." Ricky declared.
"Feelin's mutual brother." Jacob responded.
They all flipped over their cards to reveal the attribute hexagram on it's face.
"Field Open!" They shouted in unison.
