A/N:
Jet: Breezy. Freaking. FEATHER. GET OFF.
Breezy: Nooooo...
OC Jet: You do realize that you're in a really bad position, right?
Breezy: *Pouting* You do realize I love hugs, right?
OC Jet: *deadpanning* If that was supposed to be some sort of intimidating comment, you failed miserably. *beat* And sticking your tongue out isn't helping your case.
Breezy: Awww... *lets go of Jet*
Jet: Finally! Just say the disclaimer already!
Breezy: Fine...JetravenEx does not own Bakugan. If she did, apparently it would be a lot more violent...
Jet: *glaring at Breezy* Excuse me?!
Breezy: *looking hurt* What? You just had Jet get stabbed by Billy, had Julie traumatized by nearly getting RAPED by Billy, gave at least two characters concussions, have four characters in a hospital, have a psycho Darkus lady with a whip getting ready to murder half of her lackies (Jet: how is that any different from Kazarina?), have Dan ready to use the main antagonist as bait, have Spectra become a womanizer-
Jet: Okay, I get your point. But all of your stories have at least one person getting kidnapped and, in your most recent one, let's not forget, YOU'RE TORTURING DAN.
Breezy: *backtracking* That's different!
Jet: Is it? *smirking* I beg to differ.
Breezy: *puppy dog eyes* Heeeeey, be nice to the person who just drew four things for you...
Jet: Oh yeah. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU. *glomps Breezy*
Breezy: *nervously laughing* You're welcome! Uh...I didn't mean to have this happen...
OC Jet: Just get used to her weirdness...Honestly, you'd think you would be used to it by now.
Breezy: Heheh...Yeah... *sweatdropping* But, uh, I think Jet wants to get on with the story now...
Jet: Oh yeah. Yes, I do. GET MOVING, PEOPLE!
OC's and Brawlers: Yeah, yeah...
Chapter 60
After getting Jet and Julie checked out of the hospital, the brawlers parted ways with the JJ dolls.
"We'd totally like to help you guys more, but we have to make this upcoming show or our manager's gonna like have a heart attack or something." Jewls had said
Jenny forced a weak smile. "But as soon as we can we'll be there to help you for sure!" She said nodding to Jet and Mike. "But uh, best of luck!" She said before she and Jewls headed out of the hospital and towards one of the two limos that were parked outside.
"Wonder who the other limo is for," Mike remarked to Jet as Marucho walked out past him.
"I have a guess." Jet said smiling slightly as she turned her head watching as Marucho went over to the limo, the window rolling down and Marucho exchanging a few words with the driver.
Mike's eyes widened. "No, no way." He said shaking his head in disbelief as Marucho turned to them and gave them all a thumbs up.
"Guys our ride is here!" The shorter Aquos brawler called.
"You were saying?" Jet asked as she headed towards the limo.
Mike laughed and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Well I'll be damned." He said as he followed Jet to the limo.
Marucho smiling brightly as the other brawlers piled in before he got in as well. "Back to the house Kayo!" He called up to the driver as he shut the door behind him.
"Of course Master Marucho." Kayo called from the front as they pulled away from the curve and began to make their way to Marucho's humongous home.
/-/
It hadn't taken the remaining brawlers to get to Marucho's house and for them all to settle into couches surrounding the coffee table where the bakugan happily hopped onto.
While the other brawlers seated themselves Dan remained standing his hands in his pockets and his eyes shadowed by his bangs. Once everyone was settled did he raise his head and address them.
"So, our situation leaves us with Shun still in a coma in the hospital, and his attacker disappearing into thin air after Mike," Dan nodded to the brunette who was sitting on one of the couches next to Jet and Julie . "And Jenny chased them away from Masquerade." He finished his expression darkening as he uttered his enemy's name. "We had hoped to use Masquerade; who had been injured after the encounter with Shun's attacker and friends; as bait to lure them back to us so we could make them undo whatever they did to Shun." Dan said his fists clenched. Then he leaned over and slammed his palms on the table making everyone seated around the table flinch. Everyone except Spectra, who merely rested his chin on his hand and watched Dan impassively, expression giving nothing away in regards to his innermost thoughts.
"Only Masquerade escaped!" Dan snarled. "Apparently he swapped his broken DT for Jet's working one, and now we have no way of tracking him down." He said. "And Shun…" He clenched his fists on the table his hands shaking slightly with barely controlled emotions.
Jet and Mike exchanged worried glances. Runo crossed her arms and looked away. Marucho and Alice looked downcast, while Julie wrung her hands looking about to see if any of the
"That's not quite true though is it?" Spectra spoke up from where he sat next to Viki, and Gus on the other end of the couch. Dan whipped around to look at the masked brawler.
"What do you mean?" Dan said eyebrows furrowing.
Spectra smirked slightly before he rose to his feet his coat swishing slightly with his movements. "If you have Jet give me the broken DT I can use my gauntlet." He lifted his arm to show them all the red device that was attached to his limb. "To enable it to work, and to trace the location of its owner." He lowered his arm. "And with my all powerful Pyrus Helios. Defeating Masquerade will be all too easy." He said with a sinister chuckle that made all the brawlers shift uneasily.
Jet gulped and shot a look at Viki who responded with a helpless look and a slight shrug of her shoulders. Jet opened her mouth to protest when Dan beat her to it.
"No." Dan said.
Spectra immediately stopped chuckling and seemed to blink straightening up slightly. "What?"
Dan shook his head as he straightened up rubbing his knuckles slightly. "I can't ask you to do that for us, we don't know anything about you and I can't afford to send someone I just met to go do my job for me." He glanced around.
"He's right," Drago said moving closer to Helios. "And as powerful as you may be, Hydranoid and Masquerade are no ordinary opponents." He said
"Especially when he's armed with the doom card." Dan said nodding. "I wouldn't want you to lose your Helios."
Helios snorted as Spectra merely looked at Dan his lips curving upwards with barely restrained mirth before he shook his head chuckling slightly.
"Very well Dan, I understand." He reached down and plucked Helios up off the table before turning around and holding his hand out to Viki. "I think we've heard enough don't you think my dear Viki?" Spectra asked tilting his head.
Viki edged backwards from his hand looking taken aback. "Er well."
"Hey this meeting isn't over yet!" Jet called from where she sat her eyes narrowed at Spectra.
Spectra tilted his head and glanced at Jet. "I see no point in remaining when you've foolishly declined my offer to deliver to you Masquerade on a silver platter."
Jet's eyes narrowed. "You wouldn't be able to handle Masquerade birdbrain." She said rising from her seat. "He's more powerful than you, and more skilled at the game than you could dream to be."
Spectra frowned moving towards her, single mechanical eye glinting dangerously. "What did you just call me?" He said his voice dropping to a barely audible hiss.
Jet tilted her head upwards and met his single eye with a fierce glare of her own. "Birdbrain, you've got the beak and the feathers to match." She remarked icily.
Spectra scowled and was about to move towards her when Viki jumped up and grabbed his hand.
"You know what you're right Spectra, I'm so done with being cooped up inside, lets go." She said quickly before flashing Jet a look that clearly read 'Back off!'.
Jet merely raised an eyebrow at her friend, and its partner rose to join it when Spectra relented and stepped away from her.
Spectra chuckled and turned to Viki smiling slightly. "Then let us take our leave of these fools then." He said offering her his arm.
Viki blinked before she flushed giggling slightly as she took it smiling shyly up at Spectra who smirked back at her.
"We'll be going then." Spectra said heading for the door smirking broadly knowing he had all eyes on him, "Oh and if you actually say something of interest Gus will inform us of it." He said waving his free hand flippantly.
Viki cast a look back at her two friends, Jet who looked shocked, and Mike who looked confused scratching his head frowning as he watched her go. She forced a smile at them, which Jet just responded with crossing her arms across her chest and shaking her head averting her eyes from Viki's. Viki's eyes widened before she frowned and looked down at her feet turning her head away from them as Spectra opened the door and walked out with Viki in tow.
Jet's face fell as she flopped back onto the couch besides Mike.
"I really hate that guy," Jet growled. "I've known him for all of five minutes and I tell you, I hate his guts."
/-/
"Spectra?" Viki ventured as she sat across from Spectra at some rather high end restaurant.
"Yes my dear?" Spectra said glancing at her from above his menu.
Viki flushed. "Don't you think this dress is a bit… Much?" She said gesturing with her free hand to her new outfit.
After she and Spectra had walked out of the brawler's meeting, Spectra had declared that it was time for him to take her on the date of her life as he'd promised. However before they could go to the place he'd chosen she needed to be appropriately dressed.
The dress Spectra had picked out for her was beautiful of that there was little doubt. It was a strapless dress with bright orange at the top and then going into a high low skirt with orange and yellow done in such a way it looked like fire had been captured within the skirt and was rippling about her legs everytime she moved. Add that to the black boa around her neck and the silver heels on her feet, Viki felt like she was dressed for the ball rather than a simple date.
Spectra smirked as he looked her up and down, Viki flushing an even deeper red when she caught him licking his lips, before the pyrus masked brawler leaned in. "You look perfect, that dress is fit for a queen." He reached across the table grasping her arm and drew her in closer making Viki jump slightly. Then he lowered his head and brushed his lips by her ear as he whispered. "My queen."
Viki went beet red and edged away slightly. "Er Spectra… That's a bit… Too…"
"Too much?" Spectra heaved a sigh as he pulled back shaking his head. "My apologies, though I have to say you humans take these things much too slowly though." He said as he picked up his menu.
Viki shifted uncomfortably. "I-I'm sorry." She said picking up her menu to try and distract herself away from her cartoon crush.
"Bonjour monsier, mademoiselle." The waiter said as he walked up to their table. "What can I get you two this evening?"
Spectra opened his mouth but Viki hastily jumped in.
"Water!" She said, a bit more forcefully than she'd intended since both the waiter and Spectra looked at her oddly. Flushing she ducked her head and more quietly she said. "Just water please."
"Of course mademoiselle." The waiter said before turning to look at Spectra. "Anything else?"
Spectra shook his head smirking as he looked at Viki. "No that's fine for now."
The waiter nodded. "I'll get that for you right away." He said before he bowed and walked away.
Alone with Spectra once again Viki hastily picked up the menu and focused hard on it, doing her best to ignore the man across from her. It was steadily becoming too much Spectra's flirting, his possessive claims, just.. everything! IT was becoming too much.
"Viki…" Spectra said reaching a hand up and pushing her menu down making the girl jump back. "What ever is the matter?" He inquired tilting his head at her, he frowned. "Do you-"
Viki pushed her chair back and jumped to her feet. "I-I- I needtogotothebathroom!" She said rapidly before she turned and fled in the direction of the restrooms.
Spectra tilted his head and watched her go frowning thoughtfully.
"Your drinks, oh where's the mademoiselle go?" The waiter asked as he set down the two waters.
"Oh to the bathroom." Spectra said leaning back in his chair waving his hand dismissively. "Needed to fix her hair or something." He said with a chuckle.
"Ah," The waiter chuckled as well. "All right then, I'll come back when your date finishing priming herself up." He said before he walked away.
Spectra chuckled. "That won't be necessary." He mused to himself as he snagged the water that had been placed closest to Viki's seat. He raised his hand over the glass and began to run his fingers over the rim like he was thinking, as he dropped an almost unseeably fine powder into her glass. Then once he'd finished he picked up the glass and swirled the liquid around to allow the powder to dissolve further into the water.
After he couldn't see anything noticeably wrong with the water he returned it to its spot in front of Viki's seat. Smirking to himself he picked up his own drink and took a sip.
A few minutes later Viki returned looking no less ruffled then she'd gone in.
"Ah, I'm back, did you order something?" Viki asked as she picked up her water glass.
Spectra smirked, "No, I wanted to wait until you returned to pick something."
Viki frowned as she lifted her water glass up to her mouth. "Well, you shouldn't have." She paused and lowered it frowning at Spectra. "What do you like to eat anyways?"
Spectra frowned though he quickly schooled his features, he didn't want to give anything away. He smiled slightly. "Oh I don't know much about Earth cuisine." He admitted taking a sip from his own drink. "I was hoping you'd choose something and then I'd just have the same.
"I see." Viki said as she lifted her glass and took a drink.
"Ugh!" Viki dropped the glass as something red erupted in front of her eyes. She could hear the glass hit the table and the sound of water splashing out of it onto the floor. But Viki ignored it as she grasped her head. All of the sudden her head was pounding, her senses going crazy. Everything had lost its color making it looks like she was trapped in a black and white film with the sound screwed up. Screwing her eyes shut Viki grit her teeth. 'What's going on?' She thought though immediately tried to stop, thinking hurt something awful too.
"Mademoiselle," A staticy voice erupted from near her and Viki yelped as the man reached out and tapped her shoulder, pain blossoming from the spot.
"Its okay." Spectra's voice, clear and crisp not staticy or like he was talking through a towel like all the other voices, and when she opened her eyes he was the only one in color. "She's having one of her episodes, I'll just take her home." He said as he scooped her up bridal style. Unlike when the waiter touched her there was no pain instead she felt warmth, like a warm blanket had been wrapped around the areas he touched.
"Wha-What?" Viki croaked out turning her head this way and that trying to get a grasp of what was going on but her senses were so screwed up and her head pounding so hard she couldn't wrap her mind around anything, much less what was causing her world to suddenly go all crazy.
Spectra said nothing as he carried her out of the restaurant and down the street ignoring the glances he received. He kept walking with Viki in his arms until they reached the park where the kids came to brawl. But the place was dark and there wasn't a person in sight.
Spectra glanced around before he burst out laughing.
"Spectra?" Viki rasped confused at the strange sound her drugged brain was barely registering, that couldn't be Spectra laughing, could it?
Spectra chuckled as he peered down at her his once comforting 'smile' morphing into a full on sneer. "Oh my dear Viki you are too easy." He said with a laugh. "Did you really think I was infatuated with you? That I liked you?" He said leaning in smirking in her face his mechanical eye gleaming.
Viki's mouth opened and closed as she tried to command her tongue to move, to shout out the words of shock, to scream for help, for Jet who had clearly sensed something was wrong! Oh why had she allowed herself to get so caught up in it all.
Fireblick! Blicky would save her! He'd have seen everything that-
"When they suggested I seduce you into my trap I thought they were crazy. For surely no sane human would fall for such obvious tricks!" Spectra roared with laughter as he dropped her onto the ground.
Viki grunted as her body impacted the grassy ground with a thump.
"Though I suppose I didn't give you a whole lot of time to see them," Spectra conceded with a wave of his hand. "But oh this is just so perfect." He said with a laugh.
"What?" Viki rasped out again.
Spectra snorted and looked down at her. "Must I spell it out for you? My boss gave me the order, weaken the other worldly brawlers, make them one of us." He said. "And you made it all too easy, you fell for my charms, you left your bakugan behind for our date, you let me choose your admittedly very sexy outfit for our date, and then you left your drink alone." He grinned as Viki's eyes widened. "Ah finally starting to connect the dots are we?" He said as he knelt down next to her and cupped her chin.
"You…drugged…me!" Viki forced out trying to jerk her head free from his grasp.
"Well, more or less." Spectra said shifting his shoulders up in a shrug. "It's a very special drug that only exists on a far off world. According to my boss whoever ingests the drug, becomes completely devoted to the one who seals them within its power."
Viki's eyes widened as she threw up her arms and weakly kicked out at him as Spectra slowly moved so that he lowered himself on top of her straddling her hips.
Lowering his head so that their noses were just a mere inch away from touching.
"Do you want to know what seals the deal?" Spectra asked smirking at her his mechanical eye glowing brightly.
Viki gritted her teeth and shook her head tears beginning to prick her eyes. "No, please no." She begged.
"A kiss. To seal the deal." Spectra purred tilting his head to the side and moving in.
"No-mph!" Viki was cut off as Spectra pressed his lips against hers. Viki's eyes opened wide as her world seemed to implode, the black and white of her surroundings rushing in before exploding outwards into a blaze of orange leaving nothing but her and Spectra and the feel of the lips of the person who now lay at the center of her universe.
Spectra pulled back and stroked her cheek smiling as Viki smiled back.
"My queen." He purred.

"Its you!" Hydranoid shouted lifting his head glaring defiantly as a shadow loomed over him. "You're the one who sent those-those monsters after Master!"
The battle everyone's been waiting for since Spectra burst onto the DD scene
"Viki are you okay?" Jet asked tilting her head as she studied her friend's face.
"I must be going Jet." Viki said. "Move aside." She said as she pushed her friend out of the way Jet crying out in shock.
"Viki?! What's gotten into you!" Jet shouted after her.
Viki whirled around to face Jet scowling "My dear Spectra asked me to do something for him." She said flatly. "I do not have time for you go away."
Jet watched in shock as she walked away.
Friendships are ripped apart
"You can't do this." Aidan sobbed as he lowered his head a dark aura surrounding him.
Images flash showing Aidan picking up the Dino toy, and him jumping off the Sears Tower.
Alica snorted as she looked down at him with distaste. "I will do whatever I like until I take back what Jet stole from me!" She said clenching her fists.
As the two greatest villains…
Alice walked down a hallway humming softly to herself not noticing the dark shadow looming up behind her.
"Huh?" Alice whirled around and her eyes widened "AH-" A hand clamped over her mouth cutting off her cries.
Spectra smirked at her. "Got you Masquerade." He said with a laugh as he dragged Alice away.
Come together.
"You need to pull yourself together Master." Hydranoid said in his usual hiss of a voice as he looked up at Masquerade who was sitting up in his bed.
"I know Hydranoid." The masked brawler said pinching the bridge of his nose
"Perhaps crushing your former… allies will make you feel better." The darkus bakugan said with a snort.
Masquerade paused before he turned to Hydranoid and smirked slightly. "Actually that would help.
In the greatest brawl
"Are you ready to lose Masquerade?" Spectra asked as he sneered at the younger masked brawler.
Masquerade snorted as he glared at Spectra whipping out his field card. "I'll show you why I am the number one brawler!"
In Bakugan history!
"Bakugan Brawl!"
"Hydranoid!"
"Helios!"
"STAND!"
Bakugan BRAWL!
It's coming.

So review, and I'm going to post a new poll on my profile and I want you to tell me who you think's going to win!
