Chapter 1
Dan's POV
There it is again, why can't I explain it? Something's wrong. The something why can't a place a finger on it. I need answers but to what questions.
"Hey Dan!"
"Yeah"
"Snap out of it!"
I realised we were training but I wasn't paying attention. The guys believe that Drago's got some hidden abilities or combinations that we have discovered yet. Shun was using his old partner skyruss. She agreed in the training claiming that it would enhance our capabilities and extend our capacities to uncharted levels. I just want to battle. I mean I love to battle and it would be defo cool if Drago had hidden abilities but why am i feeling this way.
"Hey Shun!"
"Let's stop the traini..."
Shun jumped down from skyruss
"Way ahead of you... your head's not even in it." He gave a sigh.
"Let's get back to camp."
Shun's POV
Something is definitely up with Dan. He seems so distant and distracted. It's not like him at all and especially not in the middle of a battle. Is he missing Runo, not likely, even though he wouldn't admit it.
"Shun"
"Yes Skyruss,"
"I think you need to talk to him. Something must be bothering him. He's never been distracted from a battle. I am quite shocked myself. Bakugan are able to draw power from the emotions of their partners, therefore if Dan is out of focus, the whole objective of this exercise would be..."
"Say no more Skyruss. I understand."
"Hey Dan"
"Yeah"
"We need to talk."
They stopped walking. Dan looked at shun confused. He agreed but he couldn't hide the anxiety developing in heart.
"Dan, what's going on?"
In the distance, the rest of the gang were running up to them, Marucho, Mira, Ace and Baron, waving and shouting to them eagerly.
"You're out of it."
There it is again. He head had started to pound. He tried to suppress the pain.
"It not like you"
"I can't..."
"DAN!"
He was on the floor, coughing, and his mouth full of crimson blood.
"DAN HANG ON!"
"I can't"
I could not believe my eyes. My best friend's lying helplessly in my arms, unconscious. No fever, just so cold. I felt a chill down my spine. The guys eventually got up to us and helped me. Now he's just laying there in the bed. Mira said that there's nothing wrong with him and that may his body had undergone a lot of stress during our training, she smiled saying that obviously Dan would push himself to the limit, even if it had consequences on his body. I wished I could agree and accept that but I was there. With what just happened – he didn't have to.
