Bakugan Battle Brawlers begins with Danma Kuusou, a boy who invented the game Bakugan with his friend Shun Kazami after mysterious and seemingly random cards fell out of the sky.
If there were such thing as an impossible task, Ren was sure he was doing it.
He had been wandering around the only undamaged part of Gundalia for hours, searching for Jesse. Why he was searching for the slightly annoying philosopher that happened to confuse everyone he met was beginning to bother him, since the poetic Gundalian seemed no where to be found.
Nurzak had requested that Ren find all the Minor Twelve Orders and gather them in his secret hideout about a half hour ago, and Ren had found Lena, Zenet, and Mason with little problem. Zenet and Lena had been using their Bakugan to move big piles of ruble, while Mason and Avior were having an argument again. After directing them to the secret lair, he had set out in search of Jesse. Lena told him that Jesse had gone to find Paige, a young Gundalian soldier who would soon be drafted to Earth to learn from the Brawlers. That had given Ren a slight lead, but not by much. He was still for the most part in the dark about Jesse's location.
'Ren,' Linehalt said softly. Ren blinked, glancing at his shoulder, where Linehalt rested.
'Yes?' Ren asked, slowing to a stop in the hallway. Linehalt jumped off of Ren's shoulder, floating in front of his face. He bobbed up and down peaceably, disguising the destructive and powerful force that he held within himself.
'Perhaps wandering aimlessly is not the best way to approach this situation,' the Darkus Bakugan suggested. Ren blinked, then sighed, running a hand through his silver hair.
'I know, Linehalt,' he yawned, his eyes drooping from lack of sleep. 'But we don't have a lead on where Jesse is.'
'You can't call him on his Baku-Meter?' Linehalt asked. Ren shook his head.
'We only have our Baku-Meters in human form, unless we're in a Castle Knight uniform,' Ren told his Bakugan. 'Jesse and the others changed back into their Gundalian forms, re-' He was cut off by a voice that cut through the dim light of the hallway.
'Ren?' He blinked, lifting his arm. The purple crystal of his Castle Knight uniform met his gaze. 'Ren?' The voice came again. Ren narrowed the golden orbs of his eyes at the purple crystal, confused. 'Ren, come in, can you hear me?'
'Marucho...?' Ren asked slowly. Linehalt floated closer to the crystal, trying to hear better.
'Ren! Thank goodness,' Marucho exclaimed. 'I'm so glad I got a hold of you.'
'Marucho! Not that I'm not glad to talk to you, but, how-?' Ren was cut off a moment later.
'No time for explanations, Ren,' Marucho interrupted. 'Sorry to cut in, but I need you to make it to the edge of Dalia's Valley. It's very important!'
'What? Marucho, please, what's going on?' Ren asked. Marucho seemed in a hurry, and a voice sounded in the background. It was feminine, and sounded a little scared but that was all that Ren could make out. She was just too far away from the speaker.
'Huh? What the-,' Marucho cried. His voice sounded as though he had turned his head, slightly muffled. 'Uh, Ren? Please, bring your teammates if you have to, but we really need you to come. It's really, really important that we bring the news we have to Nurzak!'
Then came another feminine voice, and Marucho gave a small gasp of surprise. Ren stiffened. He and Linehalt exchanged glances, Ren's perplexed and nervous, while Linehalt's was rather hard to read. He was a Bakugan, after all. They communicated in silence for a moment. As they had grown up in the dark together, naturally, they had come up with their own form of communication when the silence seemed to fragile to break. Their secret language was hard to explain, using eye movements and other small, otherwise undetectable gestures to communicate. They were only able to communicate thanks to the little light that reached their dismal sanctuary, as it had been just enough to cast the shadows that revealed the secret messages. They relied on that secret language now once again, relaying messages in the dark.
What do you think is going on? Ren asked.
I'm not sure, but it must be something important, Linehalt responded by floating in different dirrections. They requested an urgent meeting with Master Nurzak. Something must be seriously wrong.
You don't think Earth is under attack, do you? Ren asked.
No, I don't believe that is the case. If it were, they would have sent an SOS message, don't you think? Not a personalized message like the one we have just recieved, Linehalt pointed out. Not only that, but I think that Marucho would have told us outright if that were the case.
...You're right. We should go meet them, Ren nodded.
'Ren?' Marucho asked. 'Are you still there? Oh, please-'

'Yeah,' Ren said into the Baku-Meter of his Castle Knight uniform. 'I'm on it. I'll meet you at the edge of Dalia's Valley and escort you back to the Capital.'
'Thank you Ren!' Marucho cried. 'Hurr-' and then the connection was closed. Ren's eyes widened and he glanced at Linehalt, then nodded, a movement that was mimicked on a much smaller scale by the Darkus Bakugan. Without another word, they started to sprint down the hallway, heading for the exit of the feebly lighted corridor maze. However, before they could get very far, another voice cut through the gloom.
'Ah, here he is!' The voice was surprisingly deep and raspy, almost as if its owner had smoked cigarettes for the majority of its life. Or at least, from what Marucho had told Ren about cigarettes, that's what he could discern.
'It would appear you are correct, milady,' a slightly accented voice chimed in. 'Consider yourself lucky, Ren,' he quipped as Ren turned, 'for good luck seldom comes in pairs, but bad luck never walks alone!' (Chinese proverb).
'Jesse, Paige,' Ren exclaimed, impressed that he had finally found them. 'We've been looking for you.'
'Well it looks like you found us,' Paige smirked, crossing her arms across her camoflage top. Ren's eyebrows creased in confusion at her clothes, and her pale, peach colored skin.
'More like we found them,' Mason commented, coming around the corner. Ren stared at him, his mouth dropping open slightly when he saw Zenet with him, as well as Lena. They all were smirking, and Mason had taken on a slightly more feminine pose with a hand on his waist, his thumb hooked on his belt. Lena sported her sleeveless trench-coat like blue jacket, and Zenet her belly shirt, white skirt and blue pants. Jesse, Ren realized, was also in his human form, as was Paige. He blinked, curious.
'Why are you all in your human bodies?' he asked, looking them up and down. Paige stretched her arms by locking her hands behind her head, at the base of her head, and smirked at him.
'They were teaching me, since Master Nurzak told me that I'd be teaming up with Rafe from Nethia to go to Earth in a little while,' she told him.
'Huh?' Ren blurted, glancing at Mason and Jesse. 'What's she talking about?'
'Marucho sent us an SOS message just a little while after you left to go find Jesse,' Mason told him, starting to walk toward Ren, whose eyes were wide.
'We were told that an envoy would be transported to Gundalia within the hour,' Zenet explained excitedly as she darted over to Ren, still sounding slightly congested. 'So we figured we had to come find you! I mean, you get along best with the Brawlers anyway!' Ren's surprised look softened, and his head tilted downward. His eyes flicked toward his Baku-Meter, which glinted slightly when he curled his fingers into a fist. Zenet blinked at him.
'What's wrong, Ren?' Lena asked, noticing the agitated movement.
'We aren't getting in your hair, are we, Ren?' Jesse asked, flipping through his ever-present book. Ren shot him a confused look.
'He means we're not bothering you, are we?' Plitheon translated. Ren shook his head.
'No, not at all,' he assured them. 'It's just... I just got a message from Marucho on my Baku-Meter.' Eyes all around darted to meet others, obviously impressed and confused when Ren held the purple crystal up for them to see. 'He told me to meet him up at the edge of Dalia's Valley. He said it was very important.' They were silent for a brief moment, exchanging glances. When Mason stepped past Ren, all eyes flicked to him.
'Well, I guess we'd better get going then,' he grinned. 'Don't want the Brawlers to get lost, now do we? Not when things are this important, right?' Ren stared at him, then smiled.
'Right! Come on, let's go,' he said, taking off down the hall. Mason started right after him, and then Paige eagerly followed. Lena nodded at Zenet and Jesse, then they began their chase.
Paige matched Ren's pace easily while Mason fell behind, and Ren was impressed with the stamina of the Sub-Terra Brawler in training. She wasn't even panting badly, unlike Mason behind him. He grinned wryly, but then turned his gaze ahead again, not that he needed to pay the way ahead any heed. He knew these halls like the back of his hand.
It was mere moments before they had reached the outside of the castle and were able to breathe the fresh yet slightly musty, cool, underground air. Ren was used to this, as were his comrades, but all of them, with the exception of Paige, wrinkled their noses slightly. Even though this smelled like home to all of them, it was little comparison to Nethia's clear and warm evening air.
Ren turned his head in the direction of Dalia's Valley, which was actually rather far off. It had to be at least a mile away, and that was the edge of it that was closest to the capital. The edge that Marucho had been talking about was the far edge of Dalia's Valley, the one that was just about impossible to reach on foot. Ren squinted in that direction, thinking he could see a small blur of blue, but he wasn't completely sure.
'We're not gonna walk that whole way, are we?' Avior asked. In response, Ren grabbed Linehalt out of the air, then jumped up.
'Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!' Linehalt rose up out of his ball while Ren landed on his feet on the ground after doing a flip.
'Impressive,' Lena smirked at Ren, adjusting her glasses. Ren grinned at her, then turned to Jesse.
'You and PlitheonPlitheon can fly Lena and Zenet, right?' he asked. Jesse glanced at the floating green ball beside his head, who started bouncing up and down.
'Of course we can!' A bright green glow grew from PlitheonPlitheon's body, making everyone grimace and look away. Plitheon emerged from his all almost soundlessly, letting out a hawk-like screech that echoed thanks to the nearby valley.
It only took about thirty seconds for everyone to get situated. Lena and Zenet climbed on Plitheon's right shoulder while Jesse sat on Plitheon's left one. Paige, Ren, and Mason were lifted to Linehalt's left shoulder, and Ren rested one knee on Linehalt's shoulder while bracing a hand against the Darkus Bakugan's neck. Paige and Mason stood but leaned on Linehalt's neck nervously, and Ren squinted at the blur of blue on the horizon. Had it moved?
'Linehalt, can you see that little bit of blue over there?' Ren asked, pointing in the relative direction of the color blurb.
'Yes,' Linehalt said in his gentle voice. Ren grinned.
'Does it look like anything worth checking out?'
'Huh? I thought we were looking for two humans,' Paige protested. Ren glanced at her.
'Marucho battles with an Aquos Bakugan name Akwimos,' Ren explained. 'I was thinking that he might have been freed from his ball form upon arrival at Gundalia, and that Marucho and his friend are riding on him.'
'But Ren, didn't Marucho return Akwimos to Princess Fabia?' Zenet called. Ren's brow creased in confusion, then he sighed, rubbing his temple.
'Yeah... he did... he told me in a message sent through Interspace.' Ren was silent for a brief moment, then spoke again. 'But he might have gotten a new partner.'
'In just forty eight hours time?' Lena disagreed. 'It seems highly unlikely.'
'Why are we sitting around playing guessing games? We could have been there by now!' Avior complained from Mason's shoulder.
'Pipe down,' Mason grumbled, irritated as usual, but the blue haired boy turned his gaze to Ren. Ren didn't notice, as he was looking at his Baku-Meter again.
'Marucho?' he said to it. 'Marucho, are you there?' A moment of silence ensued, but then a voice responded.
'Ren?' It sounded fearful and timid.
'Marucho, we're heading to your location right now. Linehalt and Plitheon are leading the way, so when you see them, wave and tell me,' Ren told him. The line was silent for a moment, and then Marucho sniffed.
'R-Ren, please, hurry!'
'Marucho? What's wrong?' Ren demanded, attracting the attention of all the others.
'Ren?' Linehalt asked softly.
'Hurry, let's go, something's wrong,' Ren gasped, pointing toward the blue blur in the brown underworld. Linehalt jumped into the air, flapping his wings as he headed toward the edge of Dalia's Valley. Plitheon followed, and all six teens gripped the necks of the Bakugan transporting them tightly, hoping to avoid falling.
'Marucho?' Ren yelled into the crystal again, hoping that he would get a response. He thought he could hear a few yells and cries in the background, but that might have just been the wind whistling in his ears. 'Marucho, come on, answer me,' he growled, nervous as he lifted his gaze. 'Marucho!'
'Ren...' Marucho whispered into the crystal. 'Ren, we need...' The end of his sentence was lost in the wind, and Ren narrowed his eyes at the crystal. 'We need help!' the boy repeated, anguished.
'Marucho, tell us where you are!' Ren cried, scanning the horizon, agonized with fear for his friend.
'Marucho! Come on, you gotta pull it together, buddy,' a voice filtered through the Baku-Meter, not feminine or Marucho's.
'Ability activate! Sh-shield cyclone! Hurry Ren!' That was Marucho.
'Linehalt, come on, we've gotta find them!' Ren shouted.
'Ren!' Ren turned his gaze toward Jesse, who was pointing in front of Plitheon. 'There! As I always say, X marks the spot!' Ren hastened to follow Jesse's gesture, his eyes scanning the horizon eagerly. The blue blur that Ren had spotted from the Capital had more than doubled in size, and was starting to take on a humanoid shape. Multicolored lights were flashing near him, and small pops and hisses were reaching Ren's ears now. And just as Jesse had said, the lights seemed to form small X's in the air.
'Linehalt!' Ren ordered.
'Hold on tight,' Linehalt warned, putting on more speed as he hurried toward the battle taking place a little over two miles away.
'Plitheon! Keep on them!' Jesse recited, pointing at Linehalt's speeding form.
'Don't worry, I see them!' Plitheon reassured, picking up speed. The Gundalians all latched onto some raised ledge on their respective 'rides', trying not to be thrown into the air.
'Marucho!' Ren shouted as he spotted a small, white and blue clad boy on the ground. The boy didn't seem to hear him. He was kneeling next to a dark skinned girl, whose leg was bent out at an awkward angle and was lying still. Ren's eyes widened when he noticed the dirt crusted on Marucho's white uniform, and how his hair was plastered to his face. The same was the case for the silver haired girl on the ground, who looked slightly familiar to Ren. Marucho's glasses were glinting in the light of the battle, and an ability card was glowing in his hand.
'Julie?' Zenet muttered, confused. 'Yeah, that's her name, right? Julie?' Suddenly, a beam of light shot forward from the Bakugan Marucho was battling. Everyone yelped, and Marucho gasped, looking up at the Aquos Bakugan in front of him. The Bakugan let out a cry of pain as the blast collided with his front, and Marucho cried out in anguish.
'Tristar!'
'Heh. If this is what we were tasked to keep away from Linehalt, I don't see why the Master was even bothered,' a deep, feminine voice with a trace of an English accent smirked. Ren frowned, confused. Ren and the others were now within earshot, but a thick cover of flying dust masked their presence from the enemy. The dust cloud covered only her part of the battlefield, and Ren was blind to what he was up against. Her comment bothered him, but he forced it from his mind. Marucho and his friend were his top priority right now.
'Paige, Mason, you guys go and see if Marucho needs any help,' he said softly. 'Throw down your Bakugan on defense, but wait for my signal before doing anything.'
'Got it,' Mason nodded.
'Leave it to me!' Paige grinned. Ren didn't acknowledge their replies.
'Jesse, Lena, Zenet,' he called as quietly as possible. The three heads were already turned toward him. 'I need you three to back me up. Stay between Avior and Boulderon, and Linehalt and I. I'll take on this lady.'
'Ren, you're gonna need-' Zenet started, but Ren shook his head.
'Don't worry about me, Zenet. If I'm getting beaten badly, I'll give you a signal, and then you can step in. But until then, I'm gonna take her on. I'll be fine.'
'If you say so...' Zenet shrugged. Ren nodded at Mason and Paige, then at Lena and Zenet. The four of them grinned, dashing to the edge of the shoulders of their Bakugan rides and jumping off.
'Bakugan brawl!' they shouted in unison. 'Bakugan stand!'
Marucho looked up in shock, as did Tristar. 'Huh?' Tristar exclaimed. 'Who's attacking us now?'
'Not attack, help!' Marucho cried, a wide smile spreading over his face as Phosphos, Contestir, Avior and Boulderon all rose from their balls. They all caught their brawlers easily, and then lowered them to the ground near Marucho and the unconscious girl with him.
'Lena! Zenet! Mason! Jesse!' Marucho cried happily, taking off his glasses and wiping his eyes. 'Thank you so much!'
'Yeah well, we kinda owed you,' Mason muttered. Paige rolled her eyes.
'Hey, you were just as excited to find him as the rest of us,' she pointed out. Mason glared at her and looked up at Avior, who was standing on the left side of Tristar. Marucho blinked up at Paige, adjusting his glasses so that he could see her better. There was dirt on them, though, so his visibility was greatly diminished. 'I'm Paige, a Gundalian Soldier.'
'Nice to meet you, Paige, I'm Marucho Marakura,' Marucho nodded, but then he noticed that her Bakugan was a Sub-Terra. His eyes widened, and he whirled around. 'Julie!' he cried, running toward the Vetran Sub-Terra brawler. Paige and Mason watched with interest, whereas Zenet and Lena had started to run behind their Bakugan should Ren need their help.
'Julie,' Marucho whispered, kneeling down next to his friend. 'Julie, come on, wake up!'
'Julie,' Gorem was saying softly, worried as he floated over her head.
'Whoa, what happened?' Mason asked, taking in the unconscious, limp form of the Sub-Terra brawler. Marucho glanced at him, his eyes clouded with worry.
'We came out of the Gate a little while ago, and since I knew where we were, I called Ren,' he said softly. 'But while we were talking, this Nethian lady showed up over there.' Marucho pointed toward where the smoke cloud covered everything. 'She just threw down three Bakugan and then attacked us, without even giving us a chance to throw down ours. A few flying rocks hit Julie, and I think they hit her on the head and maybe her leg... But she doesn't have a Bakugan that would have been strong enough to save her, so she was virtually defenseless anyway. I threw down Tristar, but even though he has a power lever of one thousand two hundred, we didn't stand a chance!'
'A Nethian?' Mason questioned. 'Are you sure?' Marucho nodded, looking upset.
'But that makes no sense at all!' Paige protested. 'Nethians are really peaceful and kind, and, and... Rafe is nothing like that!'
'Well, we'll just have to find out what her motivation is, now won't we, Plitheon?' Jesse smirked.
'Whatever, as long as I get to kick some butt!' Plitheon growled. 'Jesse! Let's clear things up a bit!'
'Ability activate! Drake twister!' Jesse pulled a card out of his book, and it glowed. Plitheon let loose a huge blast of wind, right into the heart of the dust cloud. Within seconds, the area was clear, and three Bakugan were clearly visible: Haos Krowll, Sub-Terra Vertexx, and Ventus Spyron.
Ren and Linehalt glanced around, identifying their targets. The three Bakugan were easy enough, Ren was sure, but as he looked around, his eyes fell upon a small, dark clad Nethian woman. His eyes narrowed. That didn't make sense. The Gundalians had just made peace with the Nethians, and not only that, the Nethians were peaceful in nature. They would never pick a fight. Ren knew that from Fabia, and it seemed odd that this woman wore black, of all colors. All of the Nethians Ren had seen on Nethia had worn white. And yet, this woman clearly had the angular Nethian facial features, and the same eyes that were absent of pupils. Her black hair was tied up above her head, but at the end of the strands, it merged together like webbing. Ren made a face as the hair moved on its own, almost as though it were a hand or something. It floated up behind her, and a wicked grin graced her features.
'Well, it looks as though the famous Ren Krawler and I finally have the pleasure of meeting in person,' the lady smirked.
'Who are you?' Ren demanded, glaring at her. Her knowledge of his name made him a little uneasy, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle. 'Why did you attack Marucho?' She was silent for a moment, flashing her knowing smirk in his direction. She and the others were silent for quite some time, and when they did speak again, Ren was angered by her words.
'I hate to cut this little encounter of ours short, but I do believe it is high time I return to my master,' the lady bowed formally, holding her right hand out in front of her. 'I do believe, however...' The three Bakugan under her control glowed, and then swirled back into their ball forms. They shot toward her hand, and she caught them easily. She straightened up, still smirking. '...That we will be meeting again very soon. Farewell, Ren Krawler!' And then, her form vanished from sight, leaving behind a small trail of sparkles.
Ren glared at the spot she had been standing for a moment, confused and angered, then turned back toward Marucho. 'Marucho!' he cried, and Linehalt turned to face Tristar. Tristar was kneeling next to Marucho, who was forcing a smile up at him. Julie laid next to him, still unconscious, and another Bakugan had joined Tristar. He was a large, no, huge, Sub-Terra Bakugan, and he reminded Ren of a mythical creature on Earth known as a golem. Ren blinked at it, and it's deep, slow voice reached his ears.
'Julie, wake up,' he was saying, sounding worried. Linehalt and the others landed nearby the humans and their Bakugan, and Ren jumped down from Linehalt's shoulder. He landed easily on his feet, and he dashed toward the small Aquos brawler.
'Marucho!' Marucho looked up, startled, but once he realized that it was his friend that had called his name, a smile took over.
'Hey Ren! Thanks for coming,' he said, but then his face fell again and he turned back to Julie.
'It was nothing, you would have done the same thing for me, I'm sure of it,' Ren told his friend. He extended a hand toward the boy, and Marucho took it, smiling thankfully as he was pulled to his feet.
'We need to get her some help, Ren,' Lena warned him, taking a look at Julie's leg. 'That leg can't alright if its bent at that angle.' Ren nodded, and turned to Marucho.
'You can explain why you came when we get to the capital, right?' he asked, and Marucho hesitated.
'Something bad happened, and we needed to get help,' he began. Everybody stared at him, hungry for knowledge. Marucho looked down at Julie. 'Runo and Alice, two friends of ours, went to a planet called Vestal to find a few of our former allies to help us. Jake and Shun went to Nethia to go get Princess Fabia and Linus to help us, and I came here with Julie to get some help from you guys.'
'But what do you need help with?' Zenet asked bluntly, sounding very curious.
'Well, Dan just disappeared this morning, and none of us have any idea where he is,' Marucho told them, meeting Mason's gaze. The Gundalians stared at him.
'Well, how do you know he just didn't run away for a little while, or go in vacation?' Paige asked after a moment. Marucho shook his head and opened his mouth to answer, but Ren beat him to the punch.
'He's not the kind of person that would run away. I know that, because if he were, he wouldn't have helped out Nethia in the war.' Paige was silent, and Ren glanced at Marucho.
'He's definately not on vacation,' the small boy said softly. 'His mother was the one that found that he was missing, and he didn't even take Drago.' That caught everyone's attention, and eyes widened around the circle.
'He didn't bring his Bakugan?' Linehalt asked.
'But that doesn't make sense at all,' Contestir protested. Marucho sighed.
'Exactly. The thing is, this morning, when Drago woke up, Dan wasn't in his bed, and the bed sheets were ripped. But in the hamper in the bathroom-'
'The what in the bathroom?' Paige interrupted.
'Paige!' Ren said sharply, slightly irritated.
'Sorry Sir,' Paige stammered.
'A hamper is a place where you put dirty clothes,' Marucho told her. 'In the hamper, though, the police found his nightclothes, all soaked in sweat.' Confused glances darted throughout the circle. 'And on top of that, his Castle Knight uniform had disappeared.'
'But that makes no sense,' Lena adjusted her glasses, looking baffled. Marucho nodded.
'Exactly. None of us could figure out what happened, and the police are no help because, well, I don't think this is a normal case,' he said.
'Marucho thinks that Dan was kidnapped by one of the Brawler's previous enemies,' Tristar muttered, sounding skeptical. 'But listen! It's not likely, since all of the enemies of the Brawlers are dead.' Ren glanced at Jesse and Mason, while Paige was still looking at Marucho. Zenet looked confused and Lena was clearly lost in thought. Marucho sighed.
'I know it seems unlikely Tristar, but I can't think of anyone else that has a bigger grudge against Dan or Drago! And besides, it doesn't look like he ran away, or he would have taken Drago or some food. He's not stupid. And because Drago was left there, it seems like he was kidnapped.'
'Then explain why he took a shower before he got spirited away!' Tristar asked him. Marucho sighed.
'I don't know! It makes no sense!'
'Let's all calm down,' Jesse piped up. The gazes turned to him, where he was sitting, cross legged, on the ground, flipping through his book. 'Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act, Of the imperial theme'(William Shakespeare, Macbeth). Everyone stared at him.
'Huh?' Ren muttered. Marucho blinked, confused. Lena and Mason just shook their heads and sighed, while Zenet and Plitheon seemed to be the only two that understood him, But Paige didn't give them a chance to explain.
'Look, I don't know what you just said, but I think it's more important to get the injured girl here to where she can be helped,' she growled. 'Boulderon.' She held out a hand, and her large Sub-Terra Bakugan glowed, swirling back into his ball. He flew into her hand, and she closed her fingers around him easily. She glared around at everyone, stalking over to Linehalt. Ren stared at her and sighed, then nodded at Linehalt.
'Marucho, I think you'll have to explain again in front of Master Nurzak,' he said, looking at Marucho out of the corner of his eye. 'Linehalt will carry Julie, and you can stay next to her if you want.' Marucho smiled at Ren.
'Thanks Ren,' he said. Tristar shrugged, glowing. Marucho glanced at him and opened his hand. Tristar reverted back into ball form within seconds, and then he landed gently in Marucho's hand. He jumped up and floated on Marucho's shoulder while Gorem joined Julie in ball form. Linehalt's gentle hands scooped the two humans up from the ground, cupping them gently. Plitheon was taking care of Lena, Zenet, Mason and Jesse now, and with that assurance, the two winged Bakugan jumped up, taking to the air with ease.
Marucho held Julie's hand gently, hoping to comfort the poor girl should she wake up on their journey. He looked at her slightly pale face worriedly, but then lifted his gaze to the earthen ceiling. He glared up at it, half expecting to see that mysterious Nethian that had attacked him. What exactly had she wanted with him? And who was she?
Sorry if that sounded choppy... I think I added a bit more than I wanted to... Hm.
Anyway, thank you all for your reviews!
