A/N: Man after seeing the slow start The Mighty Fall is getting, it seems I've forgotten what its like to post a new story and be waiting impatiently for people to recognize it.

But I'm so glad that people have reviewed it, favorited it, and are following it. You guys are great. *hugs*

Anyways Answering review time!

Lightus: Yes its my story. But when I write… I get into the zone of sorts. And so although I may have a plan in mind for where I want to go it's a very bare bones plan and is often deviated from as the chapter's are written. For example in the last chapter Jet, Jenny and Jewls were attacked in their house whereas the initial plan I'd made was for them to be attacked on the way to the hospital. But as for what's going on with Masky. Oh yeah I know. I know what's up with him. And its so genius and insane its going to make you all go nuts when I reveal what's up with him either at the end of this Arc or near the beginning of Doom and Docorrus.

Antex: Overexposure to the core, well that is a theory… But what about someone intentionally altering Masky to get like this? Either way I love your theories!

S1erra107: No promises. But you'll see how everything comes together once we get into Doom and Docorrus.

FanFicNerdFanatic: Greetings new person! And glad to hear that you've got lots of thoughts on last chapter. Though I bet this chapter'll stir some of em up a bit. So be sure to indulge yourself by going into detail with your thoughts. I'd love to hear what you think!

Breezy: Glad to have your support for the spin off story Breezy!

Brightcloud:you and me both my friend. *grabs some popcorn and sits down to read*

Anyways this is Chapter 69….

Tyler: *snickers* 69

JetravenEx: *smacks him* As I was getting to before Tyler interrupted, things are going to get very dark and many of my fellow JetxMasky supporters. *sniff* brace yourselves. This may hurt.

Jewls: Leave not behind your handkerchief.

Jenny: It will serve you well.

Jewls: As will the Disclaimer

Jenny: Which explains that JetravenEx has no claim to bakugan whatsoever. She only owns the story, half of the OC cast, with Viki Long belonging to Toontail and Alica Turner belonging to one Terradoll.

JJ dolls: Now on with the show!

Chapter 69

Jet stared at Masquerade her heart sinking down beyond her stomach until it dropped to her feet. She felt like she was gonna be sick, the feeling so strong it was a wonder she was still standing despite the nausea piling into her stomach.

"Aren't you going to shower with your undying adoration dear?" Masquerade said forcing Jet's chin higher making the girl wince in pain. Masquerade smirked slightly. "Or are you too distressed that your attempts to change me failed?" He asked chuckling as he forced Jet's head up and down like she was nodding. "I'll take that as a yes." He said grinning.

Jet swallowed her adams apple bobbing with the movement as she struggled to get her tongue to work. In the background she could hear Jenny and Jewls moving around on the couch undoubtedly trying to get up and attack Masquerade. Jet's eyes strained to see what the two popstars were doing. She hoped they were running but considering what she'd seen the two do already she had her doubts. Both in the show and in this world their self preservation seemed sorely limited.

Unfortunately her straining to see the popstars drew Masquerade's attention to the two. The masked blond turned his head to look at the two. Jenny was reaching for the phone that was sitting on the table beside the couch while Jewls was crouching on the cushions looking ready to jump on Masquerade.

Masquerade tilted his head and smirked. "Oh please don't get up on my behalf." He said letting go of Jet's shirt and making a grand gesture of raising his free hand high up above his head. Jenny was lifting the phone up and Jewls was pouncing just as Masquerade sighed shaking his head and snapped his fingers the two freezing up as if time had been stopped for a brawl. With Jewls several inches off the couches paused in the lunging motion her body stretched forwards towards Masquerade, Jenny was paused with her mouth open the receiver being held in her hand just a few inches from her mouth.

Masquerade released Jet pushing her back so she fell on her butt the baggy black shorts doing little to protect the rest of her legs and Jet cried out as bits of glass scratched at her legs drawing blood, making her pale legs gain a good bit of red.

"Ah much better." Masquerade said as he walked by Jewls poking her in the side. The girls eyes the only part of her body that she could actually move which were presently locked on the evil entity at her side. Jewls tried to say something but all that came out was incoherent noises as her voice box produced sounds but without her tongue able to move she wasn't able to speak. Masquerade laughed as he walked away from her moving towards Jenny. "No annoying shrill voices," He grabbed the phone from Jenny making a point of throwing it to the ground and crushing it underfoot. "No one coming to interfere." He spun around his coat flaring out as he stalked towards Jet. "Nothing to distract us." He said smirking darkly at Jet who was slowly picking herself up from the glass strewn floor.

Jet frowned as she picked out the glass shards from her legs wincing at the blood that trickled out from the wounds once the shards were removed. "Masquerade, what's gotten into you! This, this, this isn't like you." She said, to which Masquerade snorted.

"I got my priorities straightened out." Masquerade said simply folding his arms across his chest as he walked up to her so that he was looming over her with Jet looking up at him her expression wary. "I realized that in order to be the best I have to remind everyone of their place." He said tilting his chin his mask glinting brightly making Jet wince as the light hit her eyes harshly.

"And is that what you did to Billy?" Jet said incredulously eyes widening as she lifted a hand to block out some of the light. "You did that to 'put him in his place'?! That makes no sense!" She added with a wave of her hand.

"Actually," Masquerade said reaching out a hand to grab her shirt he dragged her closer to him so that she was pressing up against him. His other hand grabbed her chin forcing her head up so that she was looking at him. "It makes perfect sense. Billy threatened my authority, he thought he could escape my wrath, so I decided I had to rectify it." He chuckled. "It also brought with it the nice bonus of breaking Dan."

Jet swallowed as she looked up at him feeling her heart clench. This didn't make sense. How could this have happened? What could've caused him to go from the Masquerade that she'd been in love with, the one who'd been conflicted and a bit devious, but not… Not this insanely evil and cruel villain she was faced with. "Oh Masquerade, what's happened to you? Why are you doing this?" She asked tears starting to prick her eyes. "What happened to the Masquerade I loved?" She sniffed.

Masquerade looked at her tilting his head as he gripped her chin even tighter making Jet wince. He snickered. "Aww, are you going to cry? Am I breaking your poor poor heart." He mocked sneering at her. "Too bad, see it turns out that silly idiotic things like 'love' or 'friendship' only hinder my goals. I need not have these distractions from my brawling and my serving Naga."

Jet's eyes widened. "Your brawling and your serving Naga?!" She echoed in shock as a theory began to form in her mind. Masquerade had never been so vocal about his servitude to Naga, or so accepting of it that it would be on par with his concerns of being the best. She was beginning to get a sneaking suspicion of what had happened and it made her mad. Though at who she hadn't quite decided yet.

"Yes, idiot. Must you be so-" SLAP! Jet cut him off with a vicious slap across the face that made Masquerade stagger back, releasing her in favor of reaching up to keep his mask from falling off.

"Naga's done this to you hasn't he!" Jet shouted clenching her fists. "He disapproved of your choices and so he decided to correct you!"

Masquerade looked at her gritting his teeth as he glared at her. "You will regret that Jet," He snarled moving towards her whipping out his field card. "I was going to let you off easy, I was going to take you with me, keep you around for some company… and fun," Jet blanched as Masquerade continued. "But instead it seems I need to teach you a lesson about your place. I'll start with throwing your precious bakugan into the doom dimension."

Jet spluttered in agitation as she reached around for her stuff. "I don't have my stuff with me!" She said gesturing to her running outfit. "Running shorts don't have freaking pockets!"

Masquerade scowled. "You have 30 seconds, or I'll treat your two friends to the same make over I gave Billy." He said then snorted as he started counting. "1,"

Jet scowled gritting her teeth as she tore out of the room stumbling as she tripped over one of the stairs but managed to keep her balance as she ran to the second floor and grabbed for her stuff. Thinking for a moment she tossed off her shorts and threw on a pair of black sweats, the shorts were just too short, and with how weird Masky was… yeah pants were preferable.

Jumping around a bit as she yanked on the pants she snatched up her stuff and raced down the stairs yanking out the first card she could get a grip on without dropping them all.

As she neared the first floor she heard Masquerade finish counting. "30, all right ladies who want to go first?'

"Stop!" Jet cried hurling herself into the living room nearly falling over from the rush. Masquerade turned his head slightly to her as he held Jenny up by her shirt.

"Hmm, still too slow." He said as he whipped out a blade, Jenny's eyes widening at the sight of it. Masquerade grinned as he moved the blade towards the girls cheek, Jenny's eyes straining to focus on the glinting silver blade.

"Don't you dare." Jet growled clenching her fists. This was getting out of hand, and very quickly to boot.

Masquerade tilted his head at her as he pressed the blunt side of the blade against the magenta haired girls cheek, Jenny's chest rising and falling rapidly as she began to hyperventilate. "Or you'll do what, Jet?"

Jet narrowed her eyes. "This!" She shouted dropping the card she held and grabbing for a bakugan ball whipping it at Masquerade's head.

Masquerade snorted as he drew back from Jenny and reaching up with his free hand to catch the bakugan ball. He turned his hand so he could see it. "Mantris." He muttered before he dropped it on the floor. Then making a point of raising his foot he stamped down on the bakugan ball, crushing it under his foot Jet's eyes widening in shock as she could hear the plastic and metal crunch.

"You monster!" She shouted as Skylord and Reaper jumped to Jet's shoulder.

"You will pay for that!" Skylord roared. "How dare you!"

Masquerade snorted as he shrugged his shoulders. "You should be thanking me, I spared it from having to suffer in the doom dimension."

Jet gritted her teeth. "You're going to regret that." She spat picking up her card from where she dropped it. "I'll snap you out of whatever spell Naga's got you under and smack some sense into you."

"And we will do it as painfully as possible." Skylord growled her wings flaring out in ball form.

"Very painfully." Reaper agreed.

Masquerade snorted as he sneered at them. "Big words from the one who I had to let win the first time, you don't stand a chance now that I've upped my game and my Hydra's evolved. The only thing that's going to be painful is how quick this is going to be." He said as he drew up his field card.

Jet growled but didn't say anything more as she flipped her field card. "Field Open!" She shouted as loud as she could.

Masquerade chuckled as he did the same. "Field Open."

The multicolored lights appeared as the attribute circle appeared at their fight freezing time and whiting out the world around them until the battle space formed around them.

"Gate card set!" Jet and Masquerade shouted hurling their gate cards out onto the field both expanding with a flash of purple.

Masquerade grinned as he drew out a card making a point of flipping it over to show her the doom symbol on the front. "This time nothing you do will keep you from ending up in the doom dimension for good." He held it out to the side letting it shift in between his fingers. "Doom card set." He said as it dropped to the ground and sank into the ground dark purple pulsing out from it and across the field.

Jet didn't waver if anything her glare just intensified as she grabbed Skylord. "Shut up and brawl." She said as she drew her hand back.

"BAKUGAN BRAWL!" She cried hurling Skylord out.

/-/

A/N ending it here so I can get an update out. Plus I know from experience brawl chapters go for a very long time so to keep this one short and get an update out. The brawl will be next chapter.

Masquerade seems to have really gone off the deep end! Will Jet be able to snap Masky out of whatever madness has befallen him or will she fail and be trapped in the Doom for all eternity?!

Find out in the next chapter!
