"So, this is where the humans come to battle. Bakugan Interspace"
A blue haired girl spoke as she overlooked her surroundings
"I wonder where I can find them"
"Sid Arkale, Lena Isis. They were really strong battlers" exclaimed Marucho as he looked over their player profiles.
Him, Ren and Shun were sitting over the computer monitor in the control room of Bakugan Interspace.
"So then!"
Marucho turned to Shun, his face reading confusion at the statement
"Well, have you got any other information on other Neathian moles Ren?" he questioned Ren who had started smirking
"Oh yes. I've put together a dossier" Ren got up from his chair to pull up more profiles
"Zenet Surrow, Jesse Glenn, and Mason Brown"
He then looked to the two humans with a serious expression
"These are the three latest Neathian agents that I found"
The door to the room suddenly opened, with Jake coming through it. He was rubbing his back, his face wincing a bit as he walked.
"Where have you been Jake? And what happened to you?" asked a concerned Marucho
"Sorry I'm late guys" he apologised firstly, "I was helping my mom with some errands and lost track of the time" he explained as he sat down
"And on the way here I ran into this girl – hey don't give me that look! It was strange"
(Flash Back)
Welcome to Bakugan Interspace
"Finally, I'm here" Jake exclaimed as he started running through the halls and into the main area
Running at full speed as he turned a corner, he didn't see a bluenette green eyed girl until it was too late
"Whaaa!" – THUD!
Next thing he knew, he was lying on his back, in pain
He sat up quickly and turned around to face his attacker
"Hey what's the big deal?" he shouted at her
The bluenette quickly apologised
"I am so sorry! My reflexes just kicked in there" and she held out her hand to help him up, to which he accepted
"Ah, don't worry about it. Hey you alright? You look a little bit lost back there, anything I can help with?" Jake asked
The girl looked thoughtful for a second before replying
"Actually, maybe you could. Do you hang out here a lot?" to Jake's nod she continued
"I was wondering if you could tell me who the strongest battler in here is"
"Oh! Sure, that would be Shun" Jake pointed over to the ranking board to show her
"Shun Kazami! So that's him" Fabia turned around to see that Jake was standing in front of a gold portal
"Yep sure is. Well I better run" he said as he started entering the portal
"Wait ple-!"
He never heard the rest of what she was going to say as the gate closed behind him
(End Flashback)
"I wonder what she could have wanted with Shun" commented Ren
"She might have been a new brawler, or she could have been one of Shun's crazy fan girls that like to stalk him" Marucho brushed it off "It's not the first time they've tried to sneak in here to get to him"
…..
No one dared to make a comment over that
Quickly wanting to change the subject, Shun stood up and looked to Ren
"Ren can I ask you something" he asked
"Sure of course"
Shun continued "So how have you been tracking down these Neathian agents?"
"It was quite easily actually. The agents from Neathia have devised a way to travel from their world to Bakugan Interspace, by using their bakugan's power. They don't need to rely on access points like we do"
Jake frowned "Well that's awfully convenient"
"Basically, we have records of their battles, but no records of their arrival and departure through the access points. I just need to cross reference those two lists"
Marucho frowned
"But the number of people on those lists will easily be in the millions. Cross referencing all of that data, that should have taken at least a week"
Ren couldn't help but smirk with pride "Guess I got lucky" he said "I found all three in just one day"
Beep beep, beep beep
Everyone looked around for where that noise could be coming from.
Marucho blinked when three sets of eyes turned to him, his face went red with embarrassment when he realised it was his bakumeter going off. Turning around so his back was to the other guys, he checked to see that he received a voice message from Kato
"Master Marucho apologies for interrupting your meeting, but I have been asked by your parents to remind you to remember to eat your lunch, considering that both you and master Ren were in a rush this morning and had skipped breakfast. Have a good day sir"
It was Ren's turn to go red at the mention of his name, looking over he can see Jake trying not to laugh. Shun had his head facing down so he couldn't see his face, but he was pretty sure the ninja was smirking
Marucho typed a thank you to the butler before turning to face everyone again
"A-ah why don't we take a quick lunch break" he told them
They all agreed, with Shun and Ren going to the cafeteria to grab something for them all.
(15 Minutes Later)
"So, Jake what was that girl you mentioned like?" asked Marucho before taking a sip of his drink
"She must have been some kind of kung fu master or something, she just picked me up and threw me like a ragdoll. You wouldn't think it just by looking at her, she was a tiny bluenette with big green eyes"
Shun smirked "Sounds like someone has a crush" he said, watching Jake splutter and Marucho trying not to laugh
He noticed that Ren was quiet though, he looked kind of disquieted
"Hey Ren, what's wrong" Shun asked concernedly
Ren looked at him in thought "I'm thinking that this girl could be another Neathian agent"
…Huh!
"But what makes you think that" questioned Marucho
"Neathians are known for their stealthy hand to hand combat skills, and if she's been asking for the strongest battler, the maybe she was sent here to kidnap you and force you to fight for their side, just like Dan and Drago" he explained
All the sudden the alarm went off
There has been an access breach, trespasser on the premises
No one noticed Ren closing the profiles down from the computer. Just as he finished, someone teleported into the room
"Hey, it's you!" exclaimed Jake in surprise
"She must have followed you" said Shun
The girl raised her hands up as a sign of peace "I'm sorry" she said
"I know that I'm trespassing but it's an emergency, so I hacked into your system to gain entry, it was a risk"
She then looked towards Shun and Marucho "So I take it that you received my message then"
What message? Thought Shun
Marucho recovered from his shock of the fact that his system was hacked
"Who are you and what do you want" he demanded
Startled at the less than friendly response she received; the girl had no words to say
"You're from Neathia aren't you" shouted Jake
"So, you did receive it" exclaimed the girl
"Give it up, we're not falling for your tricks" huffed Marucho
Ren walked up to the girl; his back was facing the brawlers so that they couldn't see his face
"Hey, I'm Ren from Gundalia, I don't believe that we've met before" he told her, his expression kept blank. But his eyes conveyed a different story – victory
The girl's eyes widened Oh No! I'm too late. The Gundalians got here first
"We never got any message from you, so give it up" stated Marucho
I finally found them, but who knows what lies they've been told. Suddenly fierce determination sparked in her eyes
"If you're helping with Gundalia, then you are my enemy!" she declared
"In that case, then we can't let you leave"
"Time for a battle"
