A/N Alright, now we get to more of the good stuff, sorry for my seriously crappy last chapter, it didn't even reach the 2,000 word count like it should've.
Anyways, I've got some bad news. I-I may not be able to complete a set of 6 scary stories for each of my neo brawlers for halloween. I may just do a single one shot that's not as scary as the ones i was planning to write for this year, and then write the others at some later date for next year maybe ^.^
Also, since so many of you have been begging for it, I gave it to you, this chapter has Shun and Viki, rather than Masquerade and Jet in it. Also with Victor.
Victor: Not that anyone cares...
Anyways, ya know what enough with the anyways! i need someone for the disclaimer...
*crickets*
Jetravenex: Ugh, FINE, I JetravenEx, do not own bakugan.
Chapter 45
Shun growled as his Ravenoid collided with Viki's falconer the two pushing against each other in a furious clash between fire and wind, both sides refusing to yield until a shockwave shook the field the two bakugan reverting at the same time, taken out by the tie.
Viki frowned as she reached her hand up to catch her falconer scowling at Shun. "Had enough yet!" She snarled scowling at him. She hadn't wanted to fight, really she hadn't, but this lack of trust she had with the brawlers, the ninja who she had been stuck with especially was about to drive her up the wall. Why couldn't she and Jet have ended up in Bakugan New Vestroia instead? With Spectra and all the Vexos? She was now sure that if Jet had her way she could find a way to bring her stupid Masquerade back… But NOOOO! They had to end up in the first season where Masquerade, Dan and Shun ruled as the most freaking popular guys.
Shun scoffed in response to the statement completely unaware of Viki's internal rant, and could've cared less. "Hardly, Gate card set." He hurled the card out on to the field, it landing and expanding right in front of Viki. Shun pulled out a bakugan and held it up. "Bakugan Brawl! Monarus stand!" He shouted tossing his monarus onto the field. The bakugan ball soaring through the air before hitting its mark on the gate card, it popped open and in a green flash the butterfly woman was hovering in air before Viki.
Viki narrowed her eyes, recognizing his challenge. "Fine." She pulled out a red and gold ball from her pocket and tossed it up once before she hurled it out onto the field right at his monarus. "Bakugan Brawl! Serpenoid stand!" She said the bakugan popping open and erupting onto the field with a burst of bright flames.
The serpent coiled itself on the Gate Card as it hissed at Monarus, it's forked tongue slipping in and out.
On Viki's wrist her bakupod piped up. "New battle commenced. Ventus Monarus stands at 330 gs, Pyrus Serpinoid enters at 320 gs."
Shun smirked. "I don't even need to play a card, Monarus take out her Serpinoid!" He shouted the butterfly like bakugan flying at the serpent.
"Serpinoid! Flame strike!" Viki shouted lifting her ability card above her head, the card flashing bright red, along with her bakugan's eyes before it lunged forward at Monarus spewing flames from its mouth. Monarus screeched backpedaling to avoid the flames, darting around for another chance to strike.
"Serpinoid power level increase by 100 gs to 420 gs. Monarus remains stable at 330 gs."
Shun raised an eyebrow. "That's all you got? All right, guess it's my job to wrap this up. Gate Card open!" He waved his hand through the air, the card beneath the two bakugan lighting up. "Character card activate!" He shouted. The card's face changed to show Monarus's image.
Viki gritted her teeth as Monarus glowed, its power doubling from the effects of the gate card, putting it well ahead of her serpinoid.
"Monarus power level doubled to 660 gs, Serpinoid remains stable at 420 gs."
"Tell me something I don't know." Viki muttered glowering at the thing, despite its obvious usefulness in the battles, it was still a pain in the ass sometimes to hear that annoying mechanical female voice droning on about what you've already figured out. Oh well, time to try something else.
"Attack!" Shun's voice resonated throughout the multi colored plane, Monarus diving forward to heed her masters orders a dim green aura surrounding her signifying the power up from the gate card.
Viki's Serpinoid hissed defiantly, glaring at Monarus baring its fangs.
"Ability Activate! Fickle Fate!" Viki said the card she held glowing as flames erupted from it shooting out all over the field. The flames moved like a stream of fire flowing towards Serpenoid and Monarus consuming both in its blazing grasp. The two bakugan screeched in pain before there were flashes of red and green in the fire and the two bakugan returned back to the masters, the flames fading away.
Shun growled as he caught his monarus his eyebrows furrowing slightly, as far as he knew, that battle should've ended in his victory. "What was that?"
Now it was Viki's turn to smirk. "What? Oh my ability card? That was Fickle Fate, it's an ability card that takes out all bakugan on the field, irregardless of their power level. Which leaves us both with one bakugan each." She reached into her pocket pulling out Fireblick who popped open, giving a small yawn. "Thus, its going to be my Fireblick versus your Skyress, guardian vs. guardian." She said.
Shun sighed and closed his eyes, then he reopened them and looked to Skyress on his shoulder.
Skyress bobbed her head. "Put me in, it's time we put them in their place, or that they in turn earn our respect." Shun nodded his head in agreement smiling slightly, before his face melted back into his expression of calm. He grabbed Skyress and held her in his hand as he stood poised to throw her onto the field.
"Very well, Viki. I accept your challenge." The two opponents locked eyes, their bodies moving in tandem they brought their throwing arms back before hurling their bakugan forward with dual cries of-
"Skyress!"
"Fireblick"
"STAND!"
/-/
"Stupid bugs." Victor grumbled as he slapped his neck where he'd felt the pinch of another one of those rotten bloodsuckers bite. He rubbed where he'd been bit wincing at the feel of the mosquito's dead body and guts on his hand. He pulled his hand away from his neck and glared down at the disgusting sight. "Ugh, disgusting, only 5 minutes in, and already I hate this planet. I think the dull chrome blandness of Atmos was preferable, heck even the wasteland of Charr is better than here!" He grumbled grabbing a plant with large green leaves that draped over the ground and plants below, wiping the mosquito's guts off on it.
"Well this is just great, I swear this is Vanessa's way of getting revenge, I bet this place has no village! I mean who can possibly live with all these disgusting little beasts?!" He swatted at another one that tried to perch on his arm, he began to move away from the spot trying to escape the mosquito's but to no avail, as he soon found that there seemed to be no end to the beasts. "Me and my mouth, I should've just kept quiet, would've gotten to have fun going through the planet with Vanessa and Trent hunting for Masky's trail, but NOOO I had to suggest that there was the possibility that he's hiding out here, in the goddamned wilderness, where all the goddamned bloodsuckers are!" He punched a tree in frustration wincing as the bark reverberated from the blow, pain lancing through his knuckles.
"Eesh chill out!" A bakugan said popping out from his hidden pocket in his jacket that was now tied around his waist due to the choking heat of the forest. She floated up to sit on his shoulder. "Honestly, what do you expect? Vanessa wants this one bad especially since the reward's huge and he'd make a fine addition to the stock on Docorrus."
Victor winced at the statement. "I guess," A wave of sympathy shot through him for the guy, but then he shook it off. "You either stand with the ones in charge, or you become the one crushed under their feet." He mumbled under his breath looking down at his feet.
The bakugan sighed. "Oh shove the sentimental crap! We got work to do! Or you'll be crushed under Trent and chopped to pieces by Vanessa!" She said waving her little arms wildly. "We gotta work to find some kind of clue to Masquerade's whereabouts or we're-"
"Field Open!" The shout erupted somewhere ahead of where Victor and his bakugan were walking.
There was a brief flash of bright light and Victor blinked as the world begin to still around him.
"Is this?"
"Quick!" The bakugan cried. "Activate your field card!" The light began to expand from its source towards them, stilling the bugs in their dance throughout the air, freezing the wind, and stilling the tree's their branches outstretched reaching with the wind that was paused.
In the blink of an eye Victor had yanked out his field card and activated it, the card glowing a green color and the world around him to be replaced by the blank plane surrounded by the multi-colored space of the attribute energies that were generating the battle field. Victor blinked and glanced around before focusing on the two people who were standing across from each other two enlarged gate cards separating them.
"Well what do we have here?" Victor mused turning to focus on the two combatants, as the one to his left tossed out a Ventus Ravenoid and his opponent retaliated by tossing in a Pyrus Falconeer.
"Looks like a battle." His bakugan replied floating up beside his head.
"Gee, ya think?" Victor said voice dripping with sarcasm as he squinted trying to get a better idea of who the competitors were. "I can't see the competitors from this far, let alone hear anything, I'm going to try and get close enough so I can get a better idea what's going on." With that said Victor began to move closer towards the two combatants all too aware of how much he stood out against the white 'land' beneath his feet and the oddly colored 'sky' reaching above them.
As Victor drew closer he caught a few snippets of conversation thrown between each other.
"You want my trust Viki?!" The figure on the left shouted, Victor noting that it was a male despite the long hair he had that was pulled back into a ponytail. He frowned, on his planet; if any male had spoken like that to a girl it would've been grounds for punishment, 5 lashes from the whip at least. A shudder went down his back as he swallowed down a bit of envy that immediately rose within him. "Well, you'll have to earn it! Convince me you haven't been conniving with that creep Masquerade!"
Now that perked Victor up, he straightened up a little and strained his ears to hear more. But the girl across from the boy who'd spoke, 'Viki', only growled in response as the two bakugan engaged in an air battle above the two brawlers.
"Mage," Vector whispered to his bakugan. "I believe we've hit the jackpot."
/-/
Fireblick and Skyress appeared in a blaze of green and red light and immediately, as if magnetized to each other the two came together and began clawing, pecking and biting at each other. All Viki could perceive at the moment was a whirlwind of red scales and green feathers as phoenix fought with dragon.
"New Battle Commenced. Ventus Skyress at 360 gs verses Pyrus Fireblick at 350 gs."
Viki clenched her fists a little. "We have to win this. If we're going to get out of here, if we're going to rescue Jet, if we're going to return home we need to win! Go Fireblick!" She said pulling out an ability card. "Blazing Dragon!"
Fireblick roared as he pushed away from Skyress swinging his tail at her for good measure before he threw back his head opening his maw a ball of flames charging up in his mouth. With a roar he shot the stream of fire at Skyress. The phoenix jerked to the side, screeching loudly as the blast of fire grazed her side; at this the corner of Shun's lip twitched.
"Fireblick power level increase by 50 to 400 gs. Skyress decrease recognized of 100 gs. Skyress stands at 260 gs."
Shun's eyebrows furrowed a little at this. "Not bad, not bad at all," He said not looking up at Viki as Skyress straightened herself up Fireblick narrowing his eyes. "But you'll have to do better than that." He told her pulling out an ability card. "Ability activate! Green Nobility- Violent Winds!" Skyress screeched as she flapped her wings green flames began to erupt from her wings and Fireblick growled softly.
"Skyress power level doubled to 520 gs."
Viki's face morphed into triumph, chuckling slightly. Shun raised an eyebrow at this odd behavior before Viki laughed. "That was a good move Shun, I'll give you that." She said nodding her head to Skyress who flew at Fireblick screeching as she prepared to ram into him. "But, you forget that we are on my gate card!" She waved her hand through the air. "Gate Card open! Character card activate!" She called.
Fireblick roared a red aura covering him as his power level doubled as well. He spread his wings and took off flying up to meet Skyress charging up another Blazing Dragon in his maw.
"Fireblick at 800 gs, Skyress remains stable at 520 gs."
Shun folded his arms across his chest and smiled slightly as Fireblick flew up at Skyress. "This, isn't enough to prove you're completely trustworthy…" He mused silently to himself as Viki cheered on Fireblick who threw back his hand and hurled the stream of flames right into Skyress. Skyress screeched as she was hit, and there was the sound of her reverting back to ball form before the field exploded into white. "But, hopefully this'll disperse the bad blood for a bit." He finished.
A/N alright that was the first brawl after a good while *phew* sorry if it was a bit anticlimactic.
Anyways, I know there are a couple of plot holes, and things that need to be corrected in previous chapters, like making 44 an altogether better chapter than the half baked piece of crap i put in *sigh*
So what im going to do is go through and edit all of my past chapters from 1 to 44 and hopefully clean out any and all mistakes and errors and such, plus fix a few mary-sueish issues with Jet at times.
Anyways, I also should mention that a good friend of mine BREEZYFEATHER! *glomps* has drawn a very good picture featuring Jet and Masquerade, the link is posted on my profile! I highly recommend seeing it and admiring its awesomeness!
Lastly, I do want your guys opinions on my story, tell me what you think needs to get improved on, what sort of plot you'd like to see, what things you want, who you want to see more of. Etc.
Anyways, as always please review. The more reviews i get the more my inspiration soars and the better my mood gets so please, REVIEW! ^.^
