Storyteller222: Don't mention it.
Chapter 29
The gate cards were set, the field was even, three on three, neither side having the advantage of having a complete attribute triangle.
Masquerade, Julio and Klaus, allies of Naga versus Marucho and Dan, the Brawlers and their "ally" Jet.
Silence had fallen on the field as both sides remained tense waiting for someone to make a move.
"I'll start!" Marucho said as he loaded a bakugan into his bakugan launcher. "Alright Bakugan Brawl!" He cried as he launched the bakugan at the gate cards. His bakugan bounced once before coming to a stop onto Marucho's gate card on the upper left corner of the field from the brawler's position. "Aquos Limulus stand!"
The bakugan popped open on the gate card and in a flash of blue light a crab like bakugan popped open brandishing its massive claws and its sharp tail making a soft thud as it came to rest on the gate card.
Jet narrowed her eyes, and she glanced down at her new bakupod she had received from the JJ dolls.
"Aquos Limulus recognized power level of 350 g's, no further data available." The mechanical female voice announced. Jet frowned.
"Hmm, not a bad choice," jet thought as she looked to size up their competition. "But unfortunately I know that some of these guys are packing bakugan that can easily trump that one."
"All right I'm ready! Show me what you got!" Marucho called.
"Yeah what's taking so long?" Dan added sneering at the villains. "We don't have all day you know."
None of their opponents replied, Masquerade merely folded his arms across his chest and smirked.
"Klaus?" He said calmly, turning his head slightly to acknowledge the Aquos brawler.
"All right, try this one for size." Klaus said as he aimed and shot a bakugan onto the field. "Bakugan Brawl!" The bakugan landed on Marucho's gate card right in front of Limulus. "Stand Aquos Stinglash!"
In another flash of blue light a blue and red scorpion appeared on the battle field in front of Limulus, it's tail swung slowly from side to side while it lifted its head and snarled at Limulus.
"Aquos Stinglash enters battle at 330 g's, Limulus has a lead of 20 g's." The bakupod's announced.
"Ha!" Marucho said a look of triumph on his face as he looked up from his bakupod. "My Limulus has the advantage."
Klaus snorted as he held up an ability card. "Ability card activate, Abyss Ruler!" Stinglash began to glow a deep blue as its power level began to increase.
"Stinglash power level increase to 430 g's, Limulus remains stable at 350 g's."
Marucho's eyebrows furrowed in anger. "I won't lose again," he waved his hand at his gate card. "Gate card open! Aqua Light!" The card flashed blue beneath the two battling bakugan.
"Ability activate," Masquerade suddenly called holding up an ability card. "Shadow stopper."
"Gate card nullified." Jet frowned at this and looked towards Marucho. The Aquos brawler looked shocked.
"Haha, with your gate card taken out I can do this," Klaus said with an evil smile. "Stinglash attack!" The scorpion scuttled forward and jabbed at the crablike bakugan with its tail. It pierced the bakugan's shell and threw it into the air. The bakugan let out a shriek before a portal appeared above it and the bakugan was carried into the doom dimension.
"No! Limulus!" Marucho wailed hands reaching helplessly towards the bakugan. Dan looked towards Marucho and then he whipped around to glare at Masquerade, who was once again standing smug and proud with his arms folded across his chest.
"Hey, that's not fair! You can't-"
"Actually Dan." Masquerade said cutting him off. "I can, shadow stopper is an ability card that allows me to cancel out all of the effects of my opponents gate card, even if my own bakugan isn't the one on the battle field." He laughed. "Quite the useful tool don't you think?" Klaus and Julio merely chuckled while the two brawler's ground their teeth in anger.
Jet's gaze rested thoughtfully on the trio across from them. "The doom card is what worries me the most. But," her lips curved up into a wry smile. "I think I've got an idea."
"Well, you're going to pay," dan shouted moving to load his bakugan, when Jet grabbed his wrist. He whipped around to glare at her.
"I'm going next." Jet said simply her icy blue eyes meeting his calmly. "I have an idea that could benefit us all in the long run."
Dan frowned and furrowed his eyebrows. "But-"
"Trust me this one time, Dan." Jet said quietly, stepping forward. Louder she said. "This one's for you Masquerade, that is if you're man enough!" She looked to Skylord. "You ready to brawl?"
Skylord turned to her in surprise, and Jet was sure that if she could've she would've blanched right then.
"Am I ever!" Skylord said hopping into Jet's hand. "Let's rock and roll." She popped closed in Jet's hand.
"Kay, here we go." Jet's grip tightened around her partner and friend. "Let's rock and roll, Bakugan brawl!" jet shouted throwing Skylord with all her might. Her bakugan flew through the air, bounced once before stopping on Jet's gate card. Jet smiled as she cast her hand over the field. "Darkus, Skylord, take the stage!" The darkus bakugan popped open and her red eyes flashed once. Then, in a flash of purple light the darkus four winged dragoness rose onto the gate card. She opened her wings and jumped into the air floating a few feet off the gate card. She smirked.
"Come on boys." She said gesturing with her claw. "Let's brawl!" She roared, Julio and Klaus seemed to flinch at the sight of her, the memory of what had happened last time with Darkus bakugan still fresh in their minds. Only Masquerade remained impassive.
"Your best bakugan, already? Do you have a death wish?" Masquerade asked studying Skylord.
"No, I'm just sending you an advanced invitation to party." Jet replied a sneer plastered on her face. "That is, unless you're too chicken of course." She mocked sticking out her tongue at Masquerade. Reaper floated up beside Jet.
"Jet are you sure this is wise?" Jet glanced at the darkus bakugan out of the corner of her eye. "After all, Masquerade could pull something and you'll lose your Skylord early on in the brawl. Then what?" Jet rolled her eyes.
"Gosh, Reaper I had no idea you cared." Jet said glancing at him then back at Skylord, she smiled. "Chillax Reaper." She said calmly. "We've got this one."
"Darkus Skylord enters battle at 460 g's no further data available."
Dan turned to stare at Jet, with an expression that clearly read, "Are you freaking crazy?"
Jet looked at him out of the corner of her eyes. "I asked you to trust me, didn't I? So just trust me please."
"But you just," Dan's mouth opened and shut as he struggled to come up with the words to say why this was so wrong and insane.
"Dan," Drago spoke up from where he floated beside Dan. Dan turned to him. "What do we have to lose? Let's put our trust in her and see what she does."
Dan sighed scratching his head slightly. "Fine, just be careful."
"Pfft." Jet snorted turning away from him focusing on the masked blond. "Balls in your court Masquerade!" jet shouted.
"So what're you going to do?" Skylord asked.
Hydranoid floated up beside Masquerade. "Master? It is obvious she is planning a trap of some sort."
Masquerade looked at Jet; her eyes were clear and focused entirely on the battle in front of her.. He had a sneaking suspicion that she did have something interesting up her sleeve.
"Why don't we find out?" He said reaching his hand out and letting Hydranoid drop into it. He loaded him into his shooter. "Very well Jet, allow me to show you why it is unwise to challenge! Bakugan brawl!" He shouted shooting Hydranoid at Skylord. "Hydranoid stand!" The darkus bakugan landed in front of Skylord and popped open. His red eyes flashed once and the darkus bakugan rose up.
"How nice to see you again Skylord, hopefully for the last time." Hydranoid hissed baring his teeth at her.
Skylord snorted. "Hah! You wish!" She said sneering at him.
"Hydranoid enters battle at 450 g's Skylord leads with 460 g's no further data available."
"This will be interesting." Marucho said from his spot on the other side of Dan. The pyrus brawler turned to look at him. "Both Jet and masquerade possess two of the most powerful bakugan, and Masquerade is ranked #1 I wonder what Jet has planned."
"Well it better be something good because I'm not too fond of those odds if you ask me." Preyas said nervously. "But go get him Sky!"
Skylord froze and turned her head slowly to glare at Preyas who flinched under her intense gaze.
"I told you." She said her voice slow and cold as ice. "TO NEVER CALL ME THAT!" She whipped back around to face Hydranoid her tail flashing with a whip missing his cheek by inches. "Come on jet let's get this over with!"
"Hydranoid!" Masquerade called pulling out a card.. "Ground Skylord once and for all, ability activate!" he shouted as he threw the card into the air. "Chaos of the darkness!" he said.
Dark lightning shot down from the heavens and energized Hydranoid. Hydranoid roared as the energy flowed through his body.
"Prepare yourself for your demise Sky!" He growled as he charged up his signature attack.
"SKY! YOU DO NOT CALL ME SKY! EVER!" Skylord bellowed her body starting to glow purple as rage filled her.
"Hydranoid power increase by 100 g's Hydranoid now stands at 550 g's, Skylord power increase of 50 g's power stands at 510 g's"
"Uh oh…" jet said. "This wasn't in the plan." Then she shrugged. "Whatever, ability card activate Chaos dragon!"
"Skylord power level increase of 100 g's power raised to 610 g's advantage Skylord."
Skylord's gem flashed and Jet's eyes glowed bright red. She looked evilly at Hydranoid. "I'm going to crush you!" She roared as she opened her maw and charged up her own signature attack.
"Fusion ability activate!" The two opposing brawlers shouted at almost the exact same time." Their allies looking from one to the other as they both held a card over their head.
"Dark ferocity!" Jet shouted as her card began to glow a dark purple.
"Auragano revenge!" Masquerade shouted throwing the card at Hydranoid.
Skylord and Hydranoid fired their attacks at the same time. The blast of purple energy met the beam of energy and they exploded on contact.
"Ugh!" Masquerade grunted the force of the explosion pushing him back. The other battlers lifted their arms to shield their faces from the light.
Smoke covered the battle field as the battlers struggled to recover.
"Whoa who won?" Marucho asked as the smoke slowly began to clear.
To everyone's great surprise both bakugan were left standing on the gate card. Hydranoid stood crouching on the gate card glaring at Skylord who was resting on the ground her wings folded behind her back, both of them panting from the exertion.
"But how?" Masquerade said angrily waving his hand in annoyance. "Auragano revenge should've wiped out Skylord!" He clenched his fists and glared at Jet who had fallen onto her backside from the force of the explosion "How?"
"Simple." the darkus brawler said as she got back onto her feet and dusted off imaginary dust from her pants. "I activated Dark Ferocity at the same time you activated Auragano revenge, thus they both took effect."
"Well, what happened?" Dan asked. "Why is neither of them down?" he said scratching his head.
Jet shrugged. "Beats me, sheer stubborn will maybe? Anyways from what I know Auragano revenge takes 100 g's from every bakugan on the field and transfers it to Hydranoid."
"So that would drop Skylord to 510 g's."
"But I canceled it out."
"Huh?" Dan and Marucho said looking confused at her.
"Read the stats you dummies!"
Everyone consulted their bakupods or in Masquerade's case studied the field.
"Skylord stands at 510 g's Hydranoid stands at 450 g's Skylord has the advantage."
"What!" Masquerade shouted sounding outraged. "Why is Hydranoid down 100 g's instead of up 100?" He took a deep breath to steady himself, before he considered the field.
"Oh yeah, well ya see, Dark ferocity takes out 100 g's from my opponent, plus it enables Skylord to evade the worst of an attack. Thus you did cut me down 100 g's. You just didn't get it added on." Jet smiled evilly as she rested her hands on her hips. Then she and the others had the rare pleasure of seeing Masquerade honestly shocked. "But I'm not finished. Gate card open now!"
"Oh no." Klaus and Julio murmured at the same time. Masquerade gritted his teeth.
"Mind ghost!" jet shouted causing everyone to turn and stare at her like 'WTF'.
"Wait, Jet you can't be serious!" Skylord wailed. She craned her neck to look at Jet. But the female darkus brawler's gaze was locked with Masquerade's.
"Boom." Jet said with a smirk and the gate card exploded. Hydranoid and Skylord cried out in shock as they were thrown into the air, a tear appearing above them eager to suck them into the doom dimension.
"Hydranoid!" Masquerade shouted. He turned to Jet. "You'd sacrifice your own bakugan?"
Jet looked at him steadily. "Who threw down the doom card?" She asked her voice as cold as ice.
Dan and Marucho looked back and forth between the two of them not understanding where this was going at all.
"Master!" Hydranoid wailed as he and Skylord fought against the gravity of the portal he had grasped onto Skylord's tail as she labored to fight against the drag.
"NO not again!" Skylord shouted.
Masquerade turned his head away and growled almost too quiet to hear. "Doom card out."
Everyone's head snapped to Masquerade in shock as the doom card flew out from the ground and into Masquerade's hand.
Instantly the portal snapped shut and the two bakugan flew to the master's still landing on the ground in defeat.
Silence hung over the field. Everyone was shocked beyond words at both Jet and masquerade's actions.
Jet grinned broadly. "Oh and I'm not done!" Everyone turned to her, Masquerade who had crouched down to pick up Hydranoid looked at her, his lips a grim slash. She held an ability card over her head. "AFTERSHOCK!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
Masquerade's mouth dropped at the sound of the name. A memory of the last time she'd used that card. "No, its not possible, she didn't."
But just as he said this, two other doom cards resurfaced from the field and flew back to their shocked owners.
Another shocked silence fell upon the field, Dan and Marucho along with their bakugan looked from the doom brawlers to Jet and then back again, their jaws going slack with shock.
"That's that's." Dan said rubbing his eyes and blinking a few times to make sure that he was actually seeing their three adversaries standing shocked with their retracted doom cards in hand.
"A-amazing!" Marucho said adjusting his glasses. "That ability card must somehow.."
"Repeat the effects of whatever had just occurred on a much larger scale." Masquerade finished rising back to his feet, a calm smirk back on his face. "Impressive, Jet you forced my hand, to enable you to remove the doom card from play."
Now it was Jet's turn to be surprised, she blinked once in surprise. "Wha?"
"However, this brawl is far from over." He shot a glare (or at least what seemed to be a glare) at Dan. "And it's your move Kuso."
Dan was still staring blankly at the field when Jet moved in front of him and snapped her fingers in front of his face, effectively snapping him out of his stupor.
"Uh, er right!" He loaded his bakugan into his shooter as jet stepped back to allow him to aim. "Bakugan brawl!" He cried as he shot his bakugan onto the field.
