Breezyfeather- Jetravenex does not own bakugan. Like that.
Jetravenex: works.
Chapter 30
After snapping out of his stupor, (thanks to Jet) Dan loaded his next bakugan into his shooter.
"All right let's do this, Bakugan Brawl!" Dan shouted as he shot his bakugan onto his gate card. "Bakugan stand, Pyrus Griffin!"
The red and gold bakugan ball popped open and its eyes flashed. In a blaze of red light a griffin bakugan with bat like wings and a snake tail emerged on Dan's gate card.
"Pyrus Griffin stands at 390 g's." The bakupod droned.
"Heh," Julio said smirking as he drew a bakugan. "Bakugan brawl!" He shouted as he shot his bakugan onto the field. The white and yellow bakugan landed on his gate card. "Stand, Haos fear Ripper!" In a flash of yellow light a humanoid bakugan stood it's massive claws crossed across its chest as it stood crouching on the gate card.
"Haos Fear Ripper enters at 380 g's."
"Huh, so no one's making any moves yet." Jet said. Skylord finally recovered from being 'knocked out' and floated up besides Jet fuming.
"What could possibly have possessed you to use me as a sacrifice? I don't want to sit out the rest of the brawl, I wanna fight! I wanna show the masked creep who's boss! I wanna-mph!" Skylord was cut off by Jet grasping her tightly and closing her back into a ball.
"Sorry, Skylord but it was the only way. Plus, think of it this way, you got Hydranoid taken out too," Jet loosened her grip and allowed the dark dragoness to pop back open. Skylord was quiet for a moment before she nodded.
"Alright, I see your point." Then louder she said. "Ha! I beat Hydranoid!"
Said bakugan grudgingly floated alongside his master. "I am going to kill her." He growled spite dripping from his voice.
"Relax Hydranoid." Masquerade said coolly while his eyes shifted to focus on the dark dragoness floating beside Jet's head dancing around happily gloating about her 'victory'. "Be careful what you wish for Skylord." He thought, still smiling evilly
Marucho looked out at the field. He turned to Preyas. "Preyas are you ready to battle?"
The Aquos bakugan turned to look at him in surprise. "Ready, are you kidding? I'm so ready I could take all three of them on at once! Let me at them, Marucho!"
Marucho nodded and smiled "Okay." He loaded Preyas into his shooter. "Let's do this! Bakugan brawl!" He shouted as he shot Preyas out onto the field. "Preyas stand!"
The Aquos bakugan landed on the field and popped open. In a flash of blue light the chameleon like jokester rose up onto the field across from Julio's fear Ripper. "Alright I'm ready, let's get this party started."
"Hey, Marucho," Marucho turned to the Pyrus battler. "Why are you putting in Preyas in so early?" Dan asked a look of confusion plastered on his face. "Isn't that a bad idea?"
"Not necessarily Dan, Preyas will give me the edge to beat this creep," Marucho's eyes were burning like fire as he clenched his fists and looked towards their opponents. "We want to avenge our defeat and we're going to do it right here, right now!"
"Now you're talking little buddy!" Preyas said as he raised his fists. "Aquos Preyas is in the house peoples!"
Skylord, Reaper and Drago sweat dropped as Preyas let out a soft war cry. "This is not going to end well." Drago said closing one of his wings to his body, in an attempt to cover his eyes.
"Aquos Preyas enters battle at 400 g's, Haos Fear Ripper remains at 380 g's."
Julio grunted at the stats while Marucho smiled. "I'll start!" He held out up an ability card. "Ability card activate!" He said as he threw the card onto the field. "Water Refrain!"
"What?" Julio said as his card glowed blue and shattered. "What the!"
"Ha! Marucho's water Refrain disables all ability cards! Take that ya posers." Dan said clenching his hand into a fist, while Jet face palmed
"Thank you for that unnecessary explanation, I'm sure that none of them could have figured it out without your help." Dan turned his head and glared at her.
"What's your problem?" He asked turning to face her.
"You." Jet snapped. Dan took an angry step towards the female darkus brawler when Marucho finally stepped in between them.
"Guys, guys!" Marucho said trying to push the two away from each other. "Calm down, please!"
"Marucho's right." Reaper said floating up beside Jet's head Skylord staying quiet beside him.
"Our enemy is with Masquerade and his minions not each other!" Drago said looking from one battler to another. "Apologize and let's move on!"
Dan glared at Jet before he sighed. "Fine, I'm sorry."
Jet folded her arms across her chest and looked away. "I'm sorry too." She said in a tone of voice that spoke otherwise. Then quieter she muttered. "That you're an idiot."
"Ha you may have shut down my ability cards, but you can't block out my gate card!" Julio shouted jabbing a finger at his gate card. "Gate card open."
"Oh no, you don't!" Marucho said holding up a new ability card. "Ability activate! Blue stealth!"
Preyas chortled evilly as he moved his hands in front of his face. "Ha ha, now you see me." And then slowly he faded away from view. 'Now you don't." He said his voice coming from no particular point on the field anymore.
"What?" Julio said looking around wildly for the Aquos bakugan. "Where'd the punk go?"
"Gate card nullified Preyas power level increase by 100 g's, Aquos Preyas at 500 g's Haos Fear Ripper remains stable at 380 g's."
"Get him Preyas!" Marucho said.
"Okay, now it's time to say hello to my fists of fury! Hiya!" Preyas yelled as he delivered a massive punch to Fear Ripper's face becoming visible at the delivery of the blow. Fear Ripper let out a screech of pain as the blow sent him flying and in a flash of light he returned into ball form landing on the ground at Julio's feet.
"Aw yeah now that's what I'm talking about!" Preyas said putting his hands on his hips! "You just can't handle the Preyas." Then in a flash of blue light he returned into ball form and flew back to Marucho.
"Not bad Marucho,' Jet said smiling at the younger Aquos brawler.
Marucho ducked his head in embarrassment, holding Preyas in his cupped hands. "Eh it was nothing."
"Nothing? Marucho you practically blew his doors off with that move!" Dan said giving him a congratulatory slap on the back. Marucho winced and brought one hand to rub his back.
Preyas floated back up beside the other bakugan. "Yeah, but I think I'll be just as happy if I just sit out the rest, you know drink some lemonade work on my-"
"Preyas." Drago said coldly.
"Yes?" The Aquos bakugan said turning towards the Pyrus dragonoid.
"Shut up." The other three bakugan said.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Preyas yelped inching away from them.
On the other side of the field Julio grudgingly picked up his fallen bakugan. "Huh, I wasn't expecting that."
Klaus rested his chin on his hand. "Perhaps we underestimated them." He said glancing towards Masquerade who stood on his other side.
Masquerade didn't say anything his face impassive as he studied the field.
"I have a plan that will get rid of them once and for all." Masquerade said at last. He turned to them a cruel smirk on his face. "And all you have to do is crush them."
Klaus and Julio exchanged glances and shrugged, at how detached the blond was acting.
"Don't worry." Julio growled cracking his knuckles. "I intend to."
Masquerade chuckled but said nothing more.
Klaus chuckled. "I suppose it's my turn now." He took his Sirenoid off his shoulder. "Prepare yourselves." He said as he loaded her into his shooter. "Bakugan brawl and stand!" he shouted as he shot Sirenoid onto his gate card. "Aquos Sirenoid, stand!"
In a flash of blue the mermaid like bakugan rose onto the field playing the harp on the end of her staff, her body half submerged in the gate card.
"Now which one of you shall fall to me first?" She asked laughing slightly.
"Aquos Sirenoid enters battle at 400 g's."
"Ha, now which one you will be foolish enough to challenge me?' Klaus called to the brawlers, his eyes sweeping over them before resting on Jet. "How about you Miss Jet? Without your Skylord you are facing sure defeat."
Jet gritted her teeth. "I'm not afraid of you, you-you prince-wannabe!"
Skylord shook her head. "Jet, insult equals fail." She said
"Whatever, the fact still remains; it's your move Jet." Masquerade said to the female Darkus brawler.
Jet studied the field. "I don't like the fact that Klaus has his Sirenoid on the field. But I guess there's not much I can do about that. Facing him on his own gate card would be suicide so who should I counter with? Hydra has equal gs but is she the right choice-"
"Miss Jet put me in." The voice made Jet jump as she turned her head to see Reaper floating beside her head. Jet blinked in surprise. "Please, let me show you, prove to you that my loyalty is to you now and you alone. Please, I beg of you."
Jet frowned and sized up Sirenoid before looking back at the darkus bakugan. "You sure Reaper?"
"Positive, Jet." He said his voice icy cold and calm.
Jet smiled at the bakugan now sitting on her shoulder "All right if it's what you want then count me in, but first things first." She pulled out a new card from her case. "Gate card set!" She shouted as she threw it onto the field in the exact same spot as her last card had been. It expanded in a flash of purple right in front of Masquerade. Then she held out her hand and allowed reaper to jump down into her palm.
"You won't be sorry Miss Jet." He assured her before closing up into a ball.
"Let's go, bakugan brawl! The stage is yours, Rise Darkus Reaper!" She shouted as she hurled him onto her new gate card. He landed on her card and popped open. Ina flash of dark purple light he rose onto her gate card, dark energy surrounding him before fading away as he stretched his wings.
"Ahh it feels good to be free again!" he said as he spun his sickle over his head once, before holding it calmly at his side poised and ready for a fight. He glared down at his former master who stood in front of him. "I am going to enjoy this." He growled.
Masquerade smirked as he folded his arms across his chest.. "Not as much as I will."
"Darkus Reaper enters battle at 370 g's."
Klaus smirked at this and held up an ability card. "Dive Mirage!" He said. Ripples flowed across the gate card his Sirenoid was submerged in. Sirenoid laughed as she dove into the gate card and swam over to the one that Jet's reaper was standing on. Jet frowned while Klaus smiled evilly. "As you should know Dive Mirage is an ability card-"
"That allows you to move over to any gate card and nullify it. Blah blah blah." She held up an ability card in front of her face. "If I cared I would've said so."
"Agreed, I had no trouble facing you last time." Reaper said raising his sickle in preparation for attack. "I see no reason to think this time will be any different."
"Battle commenced Darkus Reaper at 370 g's against Aquos Sirenoid at 400 g's, Sirenoid ahead by 30 g's." Jet furrowed her eyebrows at her bakupod in annoyance.
"Huh, I always though Reaper had 400 g's, oh well." She thought to herself. "Merely a small roadblock we can overcome with ease." She held up an ability card, "Ability activate, Grim Fury!"
Reaper was covered by shadows and his yellow eyes flashed with malice. "You will regret the instant you set foot on my gate card!" He snarled as he lifted his sickle over his head as he absorbed the power.
"Reaper power level increase of 100 g's, Sirenoid decrease of 50 g's reaper stands now at 470 g's with Sirenoid at 350 g's, Reaper has the advantage." The bakupod announced, jet glanced down at it before looking up at Klaus.
"How do you like them apples?" jet said closing her hand into a fist and sneering at Klaus. She jabbed her finger at Sirenoid. "Go show her what you've got Reaper!"
"Whatever, it will not matter, for this battle was mine from the beginning." He held up an ability card and it glowed blue. "Ability Activate, Anthemusa." Sirenoid spun her lyre around once before she began to play it, the gate card becoming a massive whirlpool. Reaper drew back in surprise before the power of the music began to take hold of Reaper and he staggered towards her and the center of the whirlpool.
"This battle is mine," Klaus said resting one hand on his hip while he laughed evilly."
"That's your ace in the hole?" Jet's scoff made him stop laughing and stare at her. She was grinning evilly.
"Are you crazy Jet? That's the same trick that cost me my Preyas!" Marucho said grabbing onto her jacket his eyes wide and fearful like he was reliving a past nightmare over again.
"I understand, and watch, as I shatter it!" Jet held up an ability card. "Eat this! Dimension 4!" She shouted as she threw it down and there was a flash of purple light. The whirlpool calmed immediately and Reaper snapped out of it.
"Power levels remain stable, Reaper at 470 g's and Sirenoid at 350 g's."
Jet gaveKlaus a thumbs down. "Never trust one of those cards that say 'victory assured if you use me' they usually end up failing you in more ways then one." Then she waved her hand dramatically. "Go Reaper, finish his Sirenoid and remind these fools just how powerful you really are!"
Reaper leapt into the air his sickle poised over his head. "Good night Sirenoid!"
Sirenoid screamed as she was hit by his sickle, she was sent flying off the card and in a flash of blue light she returned into ball form. Klaus gasped as she landed on the ground behind him and bounced away.
"Sirenoid!" he gasped running to go grab her. He shot a glare at the triumphant Reaper.
"Ha!" Reaper said raising his sickle in triumph. He glared down at Masquerade and pointed his sickle at him. "You are a fool Masquerade, and you are about to pay dearly for it." At the end of this statement he shrank back into a ball in a flash of purple light and flew back to Jet's waiting hand.
"Good job," Jet said smiling down at him the darkus bakugan popped open.
"Anything for you Miss Jet." He said, shifting backward in embarrassment. "I just hope you will allow me the chance to-"
"Take on Masquerade?" It's in the agenda, no worries." Skylord sulked on Jet's shoulder, and didn't move when Reaper joined her.
"You did well too; you removed the threat of the doom dimension that alone should please you." Reaper told her. "I am however looking forward to "teaming up" with you later on."
Skylord visibly brightened at this as she flapped her wings. "Alright! Now that, I am looking forward to!"
Reaper and Jet chuckled. And Jet jumped in surprise when a hand clapped her on the back.
"Nice job." Jet turned to see Dan there with a sincere smile on his face. "Maybe you're not so bad after all."
Jet frowned at this and furrowed her eyebrows. "You thought I was bad? Dude, why would I A. take out the doom card or B even side with you guys in the first place? Sometimes I wonder what-"
"Bakugan Brawl!" Masquerade shouted cutting off Jet's response making her jerk her head in his direction as he shot his bakugan onto his card. "Darkus Laserman stand!"
In a flash of light the robot like darkus bakugan with the large laser cannons on its shoulders rose on its gate card. The robot's green "face" had small bits of data scrolling across it before they disappeared.
"Darkus Laserman enters battle at 370 g's."
"Dude, don't you know it's rude to interrupt?" Dan growled glaring at Masquerade
"I think you'll find you have much more to worry about than me interrupting you." Masquerade said coldly as he held up an ability card. "Ability card activate, Chaos Leap Sting!"
"Darkus Laserman power level increase by 50 g's now standing at 420 g's." Jet frowned and then groaned. She knew all too well where this was going.
"Wait, but there's no…oh, oh no!" Dan shouted realizing with horror what Masquerade had planned.
"Oh yes," Masquerade said a wicked grin emerging on his face, "Laserman attack!" The darkus bakugan's upper body turned towards the Pyrus bakugan. Darkus Laserman's cannons locked onto Griffin and it began to open fire upon the bakugan.
"Griffin no!" Dan shouted as he futilely reached for his bakugan, griffin turned to face the attack, and roared in pain and defiance as it was taken out. In a blaze of red light it turned back into a ball.
"Oh and I'm not done." Masquerade said, holding up another ability card. "Dark destroyer." He threw it onto the field and Dan's jaw dropped as his card turned purple before shattering into a million pieces.
Dan glared at Masquerade as Laserman turned back into a ball and flew back to Masquerade. "Hey! You just-!"
"Took out your gate card?" Masquerade said with a smirk as he caught his Laserman. "Of course, no point in making allowances for you."
Dan jabbed a finger at Masquerade his mouth opening and closing as he struggled to find the words to express his anger and rage at the masked blond.
"That was a dirty trick Masquerade!" Marucho said stepping forward his eyebrows furrowed and his blue eyes flashing.
Masquerade shrugged, "Your point, did you come here to whine about my every move, or are you going to stand up and brawl?"
Jet didn't say anything, just folded her arms across her chest and stood beside Dan calmly.
Marucho clenched his fists and glared at Masquerade but didn't say anything more.
"Fine, that's how you want to play?" Dan said standing up straight. "I can live with that and I'll still cream you."
"Ha," Julio said stepping forward. "Keep dreaming, it won't make it any more of a reality."
"You're all talk, no action!" Dan retorted, he snatched a gate card from his case. "Gate card set!" he shouted as he threw it down to replace his lost one. "Take this!" he said as he loaded a bakugan into his shooter. "Bakugan Brawl!" He shouted as he shot his bakugan onto the field. "Bakugan stand! Go get 'em Pyrus Serpenoid!" He said as his bakugan came to a stop on his gate card and popped open to reveal the red and yellow snake; it lifted its head and hissed at its opponents its tongue flitting in and out.
"Pyrus Serpenoid enters battle at 320 g's, awaiting opponent."
"Pathetic. Try this one for size. Bakugan Brawl!" Julio said as he shot his bakugan at Dan's Serpenoid. "Rise Haos Centipoid!" The white and yellow ball came to a stop before the fire snake. It popped open and in a flash of yellow light a centipede like bakugan with sharp pincers rose in front of Serpenoid. "Ha, trump that!"
"Haos Centipoid faces off against Pyrus Serpenoid, Centipoid at 400 g's Serpenoid at 320 g's."
"I don't even need an ability card to trounce yours! Centipoid get him!" Julio said a sneer on his face, the bakugan let out a shriek as it leapt a Serpenoid. The snake easily slithered away from the attack and coiled itself around Centipoid its tongue flicking in and out as the Haos bakugan thrashed in its grip.
"That works fine for me, because I don't need an ability card either!" Dan pointed at his gate card. "Gate card open! Character card activate!"
In a flash of red light the gate card opened revealing a picture of Serpenoid on its face. The Pyrus bakugan opened its mouth and hissed loudly as it began to glow.
"Serpenoid power level doubled now stands at 640 g's Centipoid remains stable at 400 g's."
Dan laughed as Serpenoid squeezed Centipoid until the bakugan burst in a flash of yellow light and flew back to Julio in defeat. Serpenoid erupted into a flash of red and shrank into a ball as well, flying back to Dan's waiting hand. Dan smirked at Julio.
"You were saying?" He asked with a sneer. Julio fumed at the Pyrus battler while Drago floated up beside Dan's head.
"Be careful Dan, just because we seem to have the lead does not mean we can afford to be cocky."
Dan turned to look at Drago, his face surprised. "Are you kidding Drago? Masquerade's Hydranoid is out, Klaus's Sirenoid is out and Julio is down two bakugan!" He closed his hand into a fist. "We've got this in the bag!"
Drago sighed lowering his head slightly. "Well I suppose…"
"Are you guys going to stand there talking all day or are you actually going to brawl?" Julio called his voice tight with irritation.
"Keep your shirt on." Jet said running a hand through her hair. "We're coming." She looked towards Marucho. "Stage is yours Marucho." She said as she gestured to the field.
Marucho's jaw dropped as Jet winked at him and his cheeks flushed a little. Then he shook his head rapidly.
"I know this won't seem like much help, but I think she's way out of your-Mph!" Preyas was quickly cut off by Marucho grabbing him and shoving him into his pocket before he could say anything else. Marucho closed his eyes and took a deep breath to steady himself, then he reopened his eyes a look of determination in them.
"Alright here goes, Bakugan brawl!" Marucho shouted as he shot his bakugan onto Klaus's gate card. "Aquos Robotallion stand!" The blue bakugan landed on the gate card and popped open, its eyes flashed and the robot like bakugan rose onto the field.
"Aquos Robotallian enters battle at 300 g's." The bakupod stated, showing the stats on its screen.
"Hmm, I suppose I should take this as a challenge." Klaus said lifting his hand to his chin as he studied the field thoughtfully. "Very well," He pulled out a new card with a flourish. "I accept, gate card set!" He called as he threw down a new card in front of him. "Bakugan brawl!" he cried as he shot a new bakugan onto the field. The bakugan bounced twice before coming to a stop in front of Marucho's. "Rise, Aquos Terrorclaw!"
The bakugan popped open and a crab like bakugan with large pincers and six legs rose onto the gate card before the robot.
"Battle commenced Aquos Terrorclaw at 310 g's versus Aquos Robotallion at 300 g's."
"I'll start things off with this; this ought to be a blast from the past Water Refrain!"
"What!" Marucho gasped as Klaus threw down the card and it was absorbed into the field casting blue ripples through the field.
"Aww that's cheap man, real cheap!" Preyas fumed bouncing up and down on Marucho's shoulder after he'd managed to break out of Marucho's pocket.
"And without your ability cards to aide you, this duel is mine," With a wave of his hand Klaus's Terrorclaw charged at Robotallion. It grasped Robotallion in its claws and threw him off the battle field causing it to disappear in a flash of blue light, and land at Marucho's feet in defeat.
"Aw I can't believe I lost, I miscalculated," He sank to his knees reaching for his bakugan his face tight with disappointment.
"That's it? One move and you're down and out? Come on Marucho we still got this," Marucho blinked and looked towards Jet, who was surveying the field.
"Huh what makes you so sure Jet?" Dan asked one eyebrow raised in question. Jet smiled.
"Think about, it, two out of three of them are down their guardian bakugan, and Reaper is like my second guardian, so we're still in pretty good shape."
Marucho smiled and got back to his teeth both of his fists closed and his eyes relit once more.
"You're right!"
Dan smiled and punched the air. "Let's finish this you guys."
"My turn," Jet said as she grabbed a new gate card from her case. "Gate card set!" She shouted as she threw it down beside Masquerade's old gate card. The card expanded. "Alright, ready to go again Reaper?" She asked looking towards the bakugan perched on her shoulder.
"Of course Miss Jet," he said leaping down into her hand.
"Let's go," Jet said taking a stance like a pitcher. "Bakugan brawl!" She shouted as she threw him onto the gate card. "Darkus Reaper stand!"
Reaper landed on the card and popped open, in a flash of light he emerged; he let his sickle rest on the ground as the aura around him dissipated.
"Are you ready, to face me master, or are you going to continue to hide behind your minions?" Reaper taunted, pointing at Masquerade. "I'm ready and waiting for you."
"Darkus reaper enters at 370 g's."
"Huh, you're hardly worth my time," Masquerade said with a snort, looking at Reaper's stats, and then he held up a gate card. "Gate card set." He said as he coolly tossed it where Jet's gate card had once been. "Bakugan brawl," He said as he shot his bakugan onto the field. "Darkus Laserman stand!"
His bakugan landed on Reaper's gate card, and in a flash of purple light Darkus Laserman rose onto Jet's gate card.
"Darkus Laserman enters battle, both bakugan tied at 370 g's."
"Any last words before I send your pathetic reject packing?" Masquerade asked lifting a card, a cruel smirk on his lips.
"Just three," jet replied stiffly. "Bring. It. ON!"
"Very well, don't come crying to me when I pound him into submission. Ability activate!" He shouted as he threw his card onto the field. "Spiced Slayer."
Dark shadows surrounded Laserman before reaching over and grasping Reaper.
"Gah!" Reaper cried as he thrashed struggling to get free as his power was slowly drained into Laserman.
"G power transfer of 100 g's from Darkus Reaper to Darkus Laserman, Darkus Laserman now standing at 470 g's Darkus reaper standing at 270 g's." The bakupod announced.
"Okay," Jet said her heart beginning to thud a little louder in her chest. "I did not see that one coming."
Skylord floated up beside Jet. "Maybe its time to being out the ace in the hole?" She suggested flapping her wings furiously.
Jet turned and nodded and with a wave of her hand she announced. "Gate card open!" Jet shouted and the card beneath Reaper and Laserman glowed. "Character card activate!"
"What! When did you?" Masquerade gritted his teeth and watched as reaper's power level doubled.
"Reaper power level now at 540 g's Laserman remains stable at 470 g's."
"Here, we've got a little present for you!" jet shouted as Reaper leapt into the air and raised his sickle over his head.
"Take this!" Reaper shouted bringing his sickle down on Laserman. Laserman let out a robotic cry as Reaper sliced through it and it reverted back into a ball and landing at Masquerade's feet.
Jet grinned as Reaper returned to ball form and flew back to her. She caught him in her right hand and smirked at Masquerade.
"One word: powned." Jet said sticking out her tongue at Masquerade. "You must enjoy getting your ass whooped by a girl or something cuz you're doing it often." Masquerade gritted his teeth and frowned then he smirked.
"Oh that's mature," Julio growled looking away from the only girl among them. He then looked towards Masquerade who mouthed something to him. He looked surprised but then he nodded. "That's brilliant!"
Jet drew back to join Dan and Marucho. "What do you think Masquerade told him?" Her expression concerned.
Dan shrugged. "Doesn't matter," He said pulling out a new card and stepping past Jet to take center stage. "Gate card set!" he shouted as he threw down a new gate card. "Serpenoid stand!" He shouted as he shot Serpenoid onto the new gate card.
Serpenoid landed on the gate card and popped open to reveal the fire snake; it coiled itself up and hissed at its opponents its tongue flicking in and out.
"Serpenoid enters at 320 g's."
"Now you guys going to stands there staring all day or is one of you going to come and get what's coming to them?" Dan asked resting his hands on his hips standing up straight all proud of himself.
"Ha! This one is going to lead me to victory for sure! Go Haos Tentaclear!" Julio shouted as he shot his guardian onto the field. It landed on the gate card and in a flash of light the floating eye with six tentacles branching out from it.
"New battle commenced Haos Tentaclear enters at 370 g's Serpenoid remains at 320 g's."
"Ew and I thought Hydranoid was bad." Skylord muttered to Drago and Preyas. They merely nodded in agreement before focusing on the brawl.
"I'm still very worried about what Masquerade told Julio," Jet thought her eyes darting from side to side. "What kind of strategy could masquerade devise with Julio?" She closed her eyes and pictured the attribute hexagram. "I mean Haos takes power from Darkus, you'd think he'd plan something with Klaus…" She frowned troubled. "I really don't know."
"Ha! You think a floating eyeball will stop me!" Dan said, he pointed at his gate card. "Gate card open! Energy Merge!"
Serpenoid hissed as Tentaclear began to glow with a yellow aura and it began to flow into Serpenoid.
"100 g's transfer from Tentaclear to Serpenoid, Serpenoid power level increase to 420 g's, Haos Tentaclear power level decrease to 270 g's."
"Oh yeah, how do you like that!"
Julio didn't say anything however, his lips turned up from a frown to a smirk
"Uh oh," Jet said as suddenly she remembered something more from episode 18, specifically Runo and Dan's brawl against this Haos brawler. She quickly reached up for her sunglasses and pulled them down over her eyes. "Is this what Masquerade had planned? Using Julio's Tentaclear to demoralize us and then beat us down?" She wondered
"Ability activate! Flare blinder!" Julio shouted holding up an ability card over his head. It began to glow yellow.
"Here it comes." Jet thought through gritted teeth.
Tentaclear closed its eye and then it slowly reopened it catching them all in a blazing bright light that made their eyes water and forced them to look away.
"Agh! I can't see!" Marucho cried as he covered his eyes with his hands and looked away.
"The light it burns!" Skylord whined as she and Reaper ducked behind Jet to hide from the light.
"Urgh!" Dan said as he held one arm in front of his face as he struggled to see Serpenoid. He heard his bakugan cry out in pain and then there was a flash of red, and the next thing they saw was Serpenoid flying back to Dan landing on the ground behind him. Tentaclear's light had turned off apparently as it was now hovering triumphantly on the battle field.
Jet groaned and rubbed her eyes, even beneath her shades the bright light had managed to hurt her eyes terribly and through it all she'd been able to just make out Masquerade's cruel smirk. Marucho still had his hands covering his eyes while Dan had already recovered and was glaring angrily at Julio.
"You guys just can't help but resort to dirty tricks, can you?" Dan growled jabbing a finger in their direction.
They all looked at each other, Masquerade grinning maniacally. And Julio had a dark look on his face.
"If you thought that was bad Dan Kuso than how about I show you something." Dan frowned his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"You see, it's simply not right to have the finale without all the actors." Jet raised an eyebrow at this and Masquerade smirked at Jet. "Still stumped Jet? Then perhaps this might help, Julio?" He said looking towards the Haos brawler.
The Haos brawler grinned as he held up an ability card. "Ability card activate. Pure Light!" Jet's eyes widened.
"All the actors…" He'd said that in episode 27 when he'd been telling Dan to bring Drago to the brawl already… "Oh oh no, surely he doesn't." Jet moaned at the realization and was cut off by a startled squeak from her partner, causing Jet to whip her head around to look at her, Reaper also floating towards Skylord in concern.
"What the?" Skylord gasped as she suddenly started to glow with white light. "Wah! I'm glowing…" Then Skylord was forced closed and she flew towards the doom brawlers.
"No!" Jet shouted as she tried in vain to grasp Skylord. But she slipped out of her grasp and flew towards Masquerade. Jet watched in horror as Skylord was left hovering above the doom brawlers and then in a flash of light she emerged behind them in a shadow of her full form.
Shadows slipped out and covered the dark dragoness and then as soon as they'd come they dissipated leaving Skylord standing.
Her normally red eyes had been turned into a menacing glowing purple, her body was now completely back and the gem no longer shone with warm purple energy, for it too had turned murky and dark. The darkus bakugan spotted the brawlers across from her and she opened her jaws and let out a piercing roar. Jet gaped at the sight and sank to her knees, while Marucho and Dan exchanged horrified glances. Masquerade sneered at them, Julio and Klaus too stood proud and erect.
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to know your friend's back in the game?" Masquerade asked before he burst out into maniacal laughter, leaving the brawlers dumbstruck.
A/N that was LONG *falls over*
Breezyfeather- oh so that's what you meant.
Jetravenex: yeah you hit it right on the nose. Now I am going to go eat and then go to the mall with my friend. later peoples.
Skylord: send us good reviews okay or we won't update understand?
Masquerade: *smirks*
