*Kuso's residence*

*Evening*

*Y/n's pov*

Today was going by fine, my girlfriend /best friend runo came over to my place again and hung out, relaxing on my bed with my bakugan gang, who could ask for more. Except an annoying giant construction that's taking practically half a damn year!

Runo: Yeah, they're definitely taking their time, and after 6 months of construction and 6 months of coffee break, we still don't know what is.

Y/n: *sitting near runo, reading a manga* Whatever their building is definitely not a normal looking building. Maybe some kind of government office.

Alice: *through the computer, smile* If you asked me, I think it's a dance studio.

Julie: *through a computer, smile* I think it's one of those fitness teams or a spa!

Dan: *puts away comic book, slightly annoyed* I think you guys are making a big deal out of nothing.

Y/n: *puts down manga, sarcastic* Gee little brother, a giant building that can make the eiffel tower look like a twig is nothing.

Stinglash: *sitting on the desk* Is that one of those sarcasms you mention boss?

Runo: *looks at dan* Y/n's right dan. If it's a new mall with a brand new coffee shop, it could take out my family's restaurant!

Y/n: *still reading manga, while rubbing runo's head* Also means I won't be able to hang out with a certain lovable tomboy.

Runo: *blushing while cutely pouting a bit* I'm not a tomboy. *leans into my hand*

Tigrerra: *sitting on the desk, pops open and sees runo's reaction, happy tone* It's a grand day seeing you truly happy my lady.

Julie: *seeing the event, pouting in jealousy* 'I know I agreed to miss kuso's plan, but I want y/n's head pats, too! *determined* I have to get my own talking bakugan soon!'

Alice: *seeing the event, eyes slightly darken* 'Soon my rytsar.'

Dan: *clueless* I still don't get a big deal, who cares if there's a new coffee shop, you still get customers runo.

Runo: *gets out of love trance and immediately gets up the chair* That is, the big deal you idiot! *turns on bakupod* According to my market calculations...

Dan: *laughs a bit* Research? You barely have any customers, nevermind a market.
.
.
.
.
Y/n: *slaps himself in the face* You idiot.

Runo: *twitch mark, angry* WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!

Leonidas: *pops open to see me holding an angry runo back from a terrified dan, looks at drago, teasing tone* So drago, how does it feel to have an idiot for a brawler?

Drago: *pops open, sigh tone* Exhausting. 'Now I understand daniel's brother's pain.'

Marucho: *joins the chat room, smile* Hey guys, I just solved the skyscraper mystery!

Y/n: *let's go off runo, and looks at marucho* So what is it?

Marucho: *fake cough* Ahem. *smile* It turns out it's my brand new house!

Y/R/D/A/J: *shocked* A HOUSE!?!?! *anime fall*

(Replace dan with y/n)

Marucho: *smile* Yeah I know, I was told first when we were going to move, and I kept a secret so I could tell you in person and see the look on your faces!

Y/n: *gets up, annoyed* 'The little guy might be my friend, but he's going to get the wedgie of a lifetime when I get my hands on him!'

Marucho: *courteous smile* But next sunday my father wants to welcome our new neighbors with a big move-in party. So y/n, you, your brother, and runo are invited. Hope to see you guys there. *logs out*

Y/n: *looks at julie and alice* Well I better get going, no doubt my mom heard about this, so I better get some shut eye. I'll talk to you two later.

Julie: *from the computer, loving smile* I'll see you again darling! *logs out*

Alice: *kind smile* You have a good evening y/n. *logs out*

After I turned off the computer, I helped runo and dan up.

Y/n: *somewhat teasing smile at runo* Looks like your lovely restaurant will see the light of day again, my dear tomboy.

Runo: *blushes slightly while pouting* Stop that you idiot! *immediately pulls me into a hugs* See you at marucho's house?

Y/n: *rubs runo's head affectionately, smile* Of course.

Before letting go of the hug, runo gave me a kiss which I returned.

Dan: *weirded out* You two are gross!

Nillious: *jumps out my bakugan box, pops open* The boss clearly has skills of understanding females, you're just kneeling to his greatness.

Dan: *angry* I so, to know about understanding girls you jerk!

Y/n: *finishes kissing runo, holds her close while looking at dan* Oh really? Should I remind you of last year's valentine day, little brother?

Leonidas: *laughing tone* Hahahaha! I still remember that! So many punches, it's still hilarious!

Dan: *hearing my other bakugans laugh, blushes in embarrassment and grumbles in annoyance while going to bed* Bunch of assholes.

Y/n: *looks at runo, loving smile* I'll see you on sunday, run.

Runo: *loving smile* And you better make sure you show up as well n/n.

After one more kiss, runo left with her mom and I went to bed.

Y/n: 'Hoping I'm not jinxing myself, but hopefully it's just a party with some good shrimps and hoping that masquerade doesn't send any goons after me. *shrugs shoulders* Eh, I'm probably overthinking it.'

*Small timeskip*

*Sunday*

*Morning*

It was sunday morning and the day of that welcoming party, after taking leonidas and two other of my bakugans, dan and I went with mom to marucho's "house".

Leonidas: *on my right shoulder* Got to say boss, getting to go to a very luxurious building, is still something to get a good kick out of.

Y/n: *nods a bit* Yeah, maybe.

Falconeer: *on my left shoulder, a bit chirpy* I say it beats a boring day for you bossman , and free food to boot.

Y/n: Okay that does sound good.

???: *inside my right breast pocket, a bit grouchy tone* Why did you bring me along as well boss, I was enjoying a nice nap.

Y/n: *looks at my right breast pocket, small smile* I thought you might enjoy a different scenery lagoon, you have been acting like something's been annoying you.

Falconeer: *a bit chirpy tone* More so than you're usually grouchy.

Lagoon: *sighing tone* Nothing gets by you, boss. *annoyed tone* I don't know why, but I feel something annoying is coming and I will not be a happy bakugan.

Y/n: *slightly rubs lagoon, smile* Well, hopefully going to an over-expensive "house" and getting free food will calm you down, lagoon.

Dan: *confused* How the heck can you be able to talk with all your bakugan y/n?

Y/n: *shrugs shoulder* Guess my personality.

Falconeer: *a bit chirpy* Which can terrify, about anyone who crosses you bossman!

Y/n: ...-_-...Thank you falconeer.

Leonidas: *looks at dan, mocking tone* And I bet aside from mister scaly stickler, no other bakugan wants to talk with that annoying ego of yours!

Dan: *angry* What did you say, asshole?!

Drago: *glows red in anger, not amused tone* Leonidas, I rather you knock it off with calling me a stickler!

Falconeer: *chirpy tone* Only a stickler says that!

Lagoon: *a bit grouchy tone* I agree.

While laughing a bit at my brother and his partner being annoyed, we made it to marucho's new "house". And dang it was definitely not a normal house.

Dan: *in awe* That's what marucho calls a house!? It looks like a luxury hotel!

Y/n: *in awe* That I can agree with little brother.

Mom: *smile* Now dan I want you to be on your best behavior.

Dan: *annoyed* WHY AM I SINGLED OUT?!?!

Mom and y/n: ...-_-...You know why.

Runo: Hey y/n!

We then turned to see runo coming with her mom, and she immediately launched at me and caught her in a hug.

Y/n: *loving smile* Glad you could make it my adorable tomboy.

Runo: *loving smile* Same here. *looks at dan, annoyed* Though I wish you didn't had to bring your blue balling idiot brother of yours.

Dan: *angry* I heard that!

Y/n and runo: *smile* Good.

After separating, runo got a good look at marucho's "house" too.

Runo: *in awe* I heard of marucho's family being rich, but I didn't think they were that rich.

Y/n: If I was that rich, I would just go for a normal house.

Dan: *slightly drooling* If I was that rich, I would get all the grilled meat I want!

Y/n and runo: *sighs in unison* Of course you would.

Mom: *looks at us* Now kids, saki and I will be going to the all adult party that the marukura's are hosting.

Runo's mom: *looks at runo, smile* And runo make sure to have a good time.

Runo: *smile* Yeah, yeah I know mo-

Runo's mom: *teasing smile* And don't forget to make special memories with your boyfriend as well! I want to make sure to tell my future grandchildren's their parents' day outs!

Y/n and runo: *extremely blushing in embarrassment*  MRS.MISAKI/MOM!!!!!

Our mom's then went off while giggling their way out, while my face and runo's were tomatoes.

Dan: *teasing smirk* At least I'm not the one being embarrassed.

Y/n and runo: *still blushing, annoyed* Shut up dan!

Marucho: *smile* Y/n, runo, dan!

We turned to see marucho in the flesh, and I thought he was short on the video chats, but he was even shorter than all three of us. He was wearing a white and blue mini shirt and shoes along with wearing navy blue shorts, and had a blue bakupod as well. He also wore red framed-half moon glasses.

Dan: *smile* Hey marucho.

Runo: *smile* How's it going?

Y/n: *finger salute* Yo.

Marucho: *smile* It's such an honor to finally meet you all in flesh for the first time!

Runo: *laughs a bit, smile* You look just like when we video talk, but you still have a good style, little buddy.

Y/n: *puts hands in pocket* Yeah, it suits you.

Marucho's dad: *smile* You must be my son's virtual friends, welcome and thank you for coming.

We then looked to see two adults come by, and they definitely had an aura of being rich on them.

Marucho's mom: *smile* We're marucho's parents, we've heard so much about you.

Y/n: Hopefully good things.

Marucho's dad: *smile* We moved here because my son wanted to be in the same town as you two. The price of this neighborhood was pretty affordable. *does a small laugh*

Y/n: *sweatdrop* 'Talk about modesty.'

Marucho: *looks at his father, smile* Father, do you mind if I give my friends a tour of the mansion and my room?

Marucho's dad: *nods with a small smile* Of course, you childrens have fun.

We then entered marucho's mansion, and scratched that, instead of a luxury hotel, it was a 5-star luxury hotel!

Dan: *in awe* This is awesome!

Runo: *stunned* It really is. This is like major bling!

Marucho: *smile* This is the entrance and where the closest is.

Y/n: *sweatdrop* Wonder how large is this closet?

Leonidas: *whisper tone* Probably enough to hide a year worth of mangas, boss.

Marucho: *sighs* Even with all of this, this party has been boring.

Y/n: 'Boring? Really?'

*3rd pov*

The brawlers continued onward , however they didn't notice a blue bakugan rolled onto the floor and started to get kicked around by the guests.

Blue bakugan: *getting kicked around* Hey take it easy! Ow! Watch it! *gets kicked again* Oh that was my shins!

*Y/n's pov*

Lagoon: *pops open slightly, annoyed groan*

Y/n: *looks at lagoon, worried* You alright lagoon?

Lagoon: *annoyed whisper tone* I'm, fine boss, but the damn annoying feeling is back, and I can't sleep properly because of it!

Falconeer: *inside left breast pocket, chirpy whisper tone* Take it easy mr.grouch, don't you reptiles find sleep anywhere?

Lagoon: *annoyed whisper tone* I'm a sea serpent you parakeet! Not a normal lizard!

Falconeer: *angry whisper tone* Parakeet!? I'm a proud falcon, jerk!

Y/n: *sighs* 'Good grief. Though at least it lasted longer than a second.' *looks at the two* Listen guys, deal with this fight at home, I really don't need mom to give me an earful of this. That's dan's job.

Leonidas *inside right breast pocket with lagoon, pops open* And if you do that, boss and I will put in a good word for miss kuso and allow you two to enjoy being on her shoulders.

Falconeer: *glows pink, excited chirpy tone* Deal! *closes up*

Lagoon: *glows slightly pink, less annoyed tone* I find that...acceptable. *closes up*

Y/n: *looks at leonidas* ...-_-...Really leo?

Leonidas: What? Your mother has a good charm on her. *teasing tone* But we already know that, don't we boss.

Y/n: *blushes slightly in embarrassment, annoyed* Shut up leo.

Leonidas: *chuckling tone* Though I have to admit, I'm proud of you for getting a girlfriend, boss. And a good one to boot. *teasing tone* Bet you'll get more girlfriends in your life with that charm of yours.

Y/n: *annoyed* I highly doubt that leo. 'Getting more girlfriends. That sounds like one of those harem anime I watched with dan.'

Marucho: *looks at me* You okay y/n?

Y/n: *gets out of thought* I'm fine. So what your dad said. Is that true?

Marucho: *smile* Yes. Ever since I met you guys, I always thought about meeting you in person. *looks at me with excited eyes* Especially getting to be neighbors with the legendary fiery yakuza!

Runo: *giggles* Guess now you have a fan n/n.

Dan: *teasing smile* Bet you're going to get a fan club now, bro.

Y/n: *rolls eyes* Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up.

Marucho: *smile* So when I told my father about it, he suggested we move closer.

Y/n: *sweatdrop* 'Determined ain't he?'

Dan: *surprised* For real?

Runo: So that's why you made this giant mansion, marucho?

Marucho: *smile* Yep!

I then came across a nearby door, and grabbed the door handle.

Y/n: *smile* Bet this is your room. *opens door*

When I opened the door, instead of a room, there were decorative walls and lights, and a....toilet?

Marucho: *smile* Actually my room is further down, that's the bathroom.

Y/n: *sweatdrop and shocked* 'Why does a bathroom have to look like a freaking vip room?!'

While getting to marucho's room we came across a giant aquarium, a zoo room, and an art collection room. I hope this giant mansion has a map booth somewhere around here. After a bit more walking we came to two large doors.

Marucho: *smile* Now this is my room. *doors slide open*

When the doors opened, marucho's room was insanely large with a giant chandelier, and in the middle of it was a luxury green chair and solid brown desk.

Marucho: Though in the middle of the night, it's hard to get water.

Dan: *in awe* Wow! This is way cool my friend!

Runo: *see's giant flat screen* Your plasma t.v looks like a jumbotron from her! Did you really chat with us in a room like this?

Marucho: *nods* That's right. *smile* Take a look at this!

Marucho then led us to his desk and then sat on his chair and started typing on what I assume was his keyboard. And soon immediately julie popped up on the giant screen.

Julie: *smile* Hi darling! I see that you guys are fitting through one little screen and not the multi screen. Technology is really awesome!

Y/n: *slightly sweatdrop* Well actually julie, we're at marucho's house.

Dan: *smile* And it's a giant mansion too! There's a whole a lot of stuff here!

Julie: *shocked* WHAT?!?! *looks at runo, angry* And why didn't you tell me about this runo! You could've picked up the phone and called me!

Runo: *immediately holds my arm and brought it close to her chest, victorious smirk* Because I was busy enjoying spending time together with my y/n, and I just accidentally forgot to tell you, my bad. *flicks her tongue out mockingly*

Julie: *jealous, and angry* 'Grr, just you wait runo, when I finally reveal my feelings to darling, you won't be able to hog him all to yourself anymore!'

I could swear that their was lightning sparking between the two and I had a chilling feeling that I was in the center of it.

Leonidas: *slightly opens to see the drama, pity whisper tone* I'll say it again boss, I'm so glad I'm not you right now.

Y/n: *annoyed, whisper* Not now leo!

*Somewhere in wardington*

*3rd pov*

Somewhere in wardington city, a limousine was driving by and inside was the famous duo, jj dolls.

Jewls: *sigh*

Jenny: *looks at jewls* You alright jewls?

Jewls: It's nothing but, *frown* I want to see my hero again.

Jenny: *realizes* Oh, y/n. *frowns a bit* Yeah, I miss my special dragon too. It wouldn't hurt to see him again, spend time with or even play bakugan with him.

Manager: *driving, annoyed* Look, I don't want to hear anymore about this y/n or bakugan, don't talk about this in our next broadcast meeting, got it?

Jenny and jewls: *depressed* Yes ma'am.

*Back with y/n and others*

*Y/n's pov*

After finally getting julie to calm down, though runo still held onto my arm, marucho switched the video to a performance show of jj dolls.

Y/n: 'Still can't believe I actually encountered both of them.'

Dan: *dreamy smile* That jenny, she's so cute, that she makes listening to them bearable.

Marucho: *dreamy smile* Ah jewls, no voice is quite as beautiful as yours~.
.
.
.
.
Dan and marucho: *realizes* Wait a sec!

Dan: *looks at marucho, angry* What are you talking about marucho, the group is nothing without jenny!

Marucho: *looks at dan, angry* You're crazy! Jewls is the one that leads the duo with her melodic voice!

The two were practically smashing their head against each other.

Y/n: *sighs* Good grief, but at least I have another person to deal with my idiot brother.

Marucho: *looks away from dan and starts typing* Aside from knowing who's the better member, apparently I have a rival for my beloved jewls heart!

Y/n: *sarcastic* 'Wonder who can outshine a small genius?' Who's this rival, marucho?

Marucho: *fire in his eyes* From jewls fanbase site, apparently she posted that she was saved by a guy and declared to be madly in love with him and even worst, she calls him her hero!

Y/n: *shocked* 'Crap! *slightly sweating* Calm down y/n, don't let anyone find out. No one figures it out, and my life will be saved.'

Dan: *crosses arms, serious* Now that you mention marucho, on jenny's fanbase site, she posted that she found a special guy too. Calls him her "special dragon".

Y/n: *screaming in his thoughts* 'WHY?!?! WHY ME, WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!?! *hears leonidas and falconeer snickering* For my sake, you two better shut up and not say a DAMN WORD!!!'

I suddenly felt runo's grip on my arm tightened, and she was giving me a look that felt like she was searching through my very soul.

Runo: *seething glare* Y/n.

Y/n: *sweating bullets, nervous smile* Y-yes runo? My precious one, my one and only.

Runo: *seething glare* You wouldn't be hiding another secret from me, *holds my arm tighter* are you?

Before I could say anything, the doors to marucho's room opened and an old man with round glasses and a gray bushy mustache wearing a suit came in.

???: Excuse me, young master. The preparations are finished.

Marucho: *smile* Thank you kato.

Y/n: *sighs in relief* 'Thank you merciful god!' *looks at the others* Come on guys, free food!

Runo: *still glaring at me* We're not finished yet, y/n.

Y/n: *depressed* 'Dammit.'

We then got out of marucho's room, and started following the little guy to the food.

Marucho: *smile* I asked for some spare food, so I hope you guys are up for it.

Dan: *excited smile* If it's free, I ain't complaining!

Y/n: 'Hopefully it will lessen runo's anger.'

While walking we took notice of something that was dragging some jewelry. If I didn't know any better, it was a bakugan!

Blue bakugan: *exhausted tone* Hoo boy, I'm beat. *feeling being watched by us and looks at us, shocked tone* Aahh, abort mission! *closes up* 'Maybe they didn't see me.'

Lagoon: *pops open* Boss I just heard a very annoying voice and I almost thought-*looks at blue bakugan, shocked tone* Oh no. No, no, no! Out of any bakugan that came to earth, it had to be YOU?!?!

Blue bakugan: *pops open* That voice? *looks at lagoon* Lagoon, is that you?

Lagoon: *annoyed tone* What the hell are you doing here?!

Blue bakugan: *somehow crying comical tears* It is you! *jumping up and down in joy* I missed you so much buddy!

Lagoon: *angry tone* I'm not your buddy!

Runo: *confused* What's that bakugan doing with those jewelry?

Marucho: *confused* I don't know, but those are from last season.*realizes* Wait, did that bakugan talk?!

Y/n: *looks at lagoon* Lagoon, you know this guy?

Lagoon: *annoyed tone* Unfortunately.

Preyas: *happy tone* Well it seems like it can't be helped, I am aquos preyas, and I'll be countin' on one of ya!

Y/R/D/M: *shocked* WHAT?!?!

*Back with jj dolls*

*3rd pov*

The singing duo limo stopped at a dance studio and after getting out, many fans tried to meet them, but the staff security and their manager was keeping them back.

Jenny: *looks at a downed jewls, comfort smile* Hey cheer up jewls, the sooner we can finish this gig, maybe we can try and find y/n. Then we can hang out with him and maybe we can play bakugan with him.

Jewls: *smiles* Hey you're right, jenny! And maybe we get coffee with y/n!

Masquerade: Jenny and jewls, my name is masquerade. And I can help you meet with y/n kuso and play bakugan.

The singing duo tried to find where they heard masquerade's voice until they noticed her in the crowd.

Jewls: *surprise* You're serious? You can help us find my hero.

Jenny: *worried* I know I want to meet y/n again too, but our manager will get mad.

Jewls: *smile* She can understand when we need a break and will make sure to come back, *points at their manager dealing with the crowd* and it's not like she's free at the moment.

Jenny: *smile* You're so smart, jewls! Alright let's do this!

The duo saw, masquerade get through the crowd with ease and went to a nearby alley, the duo sneaked away from their manager and met up with, masquerade.

Jenny: *slightly serious* Alright, now tell us how you'll help us get to y/n.

Jewls: *disgusted* Yeah and can we hurry up, this alley doesn't look like it had a good makeup for awhile.

Masquerade: *clenching fist in jealousy behind her back, calm smile* 'These two air headed fools aren't worthy of y/n's attention, but they'll be good pawns to see more of his skills.' Of course. *pulls out a doom card* But first.

Jenny: *confused* What is that?

Masquerade: *doom card starts to glow, dark smile* Something to get the jitters out of you.

Suddenly there was a bright purple light and the singing duo  were caught in it.

*Back with y/n and others*

*Y/n's pov*

We took preyas to marucho's room along with the food being brought in, and let our bakugans chat while enjoying the food a bit.

Preyas: *looks at drago and tigrerra* Well look at what the cat dragged in. Draginon and tigerpuss.

Drago: *annoyed* Draginon?!

Tigrerra: *unpleased tone* Don't ever call me tigerpuss.

Leonidas: *holding back laughter tone* Draginon?! I got to remember that!

Drago: *looks at leonidas, angry tone* Don't you dare!

Y/n: *looks at lagoon* So lagoon, how do you know preyas?

Preyas: Since you're a good friend of lagoon, I'll regale you on our precious friendship. *dramatic tone* You see back in aquos space I was the handsomest bakugan known to-

Lagoon: *annoyed tone* What that idiot won't mention how he is more terrible with women than even your baby brother, boss. Along with always bringing trouble to himself!

Dan: *offended* HEY!!!

Preyas: *offended tone* What do you mean I'm terrible with women?! I get kisses from them, all the time!

Lagoon: When you mean kisses, you mean the many slaps to the face you receive, or getting chased by their boyfriends and asking to bail you out.

Preyas: *shocked* W-well...I...um, shut up!

Falconeer: And if we're talking about attracting females. *hops onto my head, chirpy tone* Bossman here can attract any female he wants, bakugan or human!

Runo: *slightly blushing* 'Well he isn't wrong. *looks lovingly at me*'

Preyas: *shocked* What?! *looks at me, jealous tone* You lucky bastard! You can't hog all the female bakugans to yourself! Give some love to the lonely male bakugans here!

Y/n: *annoyed* Not like I ask that to happen, you idiot! 'Great, another annoying baby brother to deal with, I thought dan was enough.'

Runo: *eats some of the food* The foods, great! *looks at preyas* But why are you crashing a party, preyas?

Preyas: *sweatdrop* Well...I was surveying the place!

Lagoon: Or maybe you just came here by chance.

Preyas: *looks at marucho* I gave back the jewels, and apologized. You're fine with me being here, right muchacho?

Marucho: It's marucho.

Dan: *eating some food* You sound like you practically have our language down pat.

Lagoon: Excluding leonidas. It took most of us in, boss's gang to understand the human language.

Preyas: I'm no stranger around these parts, it's been around half a year since I came here. So I've been travelin' around to so many places!

Lagoon: *sarcastic tone* And yet you haven't been eaten by a wild animal, I'm impressed.

Preyas: *shocked tone* Why does it sound like you expected me to be eaten?!

Falconeer: *jumps down from my head and looks at leonidas, chirpy tone* I'm not the only one who sees this being similar to another pair of siblings.

Leonidas: Yep.

Kato: *comes in* I apologize for interrupting in the middle of your business, young master but there are some guests looking for y/n kuso.

Y/n: Me?

Jenny: It's so good to see you again y/n! I hope you're ready for another brawl today!

Jewls: Yeah, and we're here to have fun with you my hero!

Jenny and jewls: *smile* So let's brawl y/n!

Dan: *excited smile* It's jenny and jewls! And there brawlers too!

Marucho: *excited smile* JJ dolls are actually at my house!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Dan: *realizes* Wait, did you two say you're here for my brother.

Marucho: *realizes* And did jewls said "my hero" to y/n.

Y/n: *annoyed sigh* 'Goddammit.'

Dan and marucho: *looks at me, jealous and angry* YOU MET JENNY AND JEWLS!?!?!?!

Y/n: *raises hands in defeat, annoyed* It literally just happened! If you want to blame someone, blame a clothing shop or just wanting to enjoy being in a park!

Runo: *dark smile* And how long were you going to keep this from me? Your girlfriend?

Y/n: *sighs* Didn't think it would pop up, especially them showing up here. *sees runo still angry* But I'll make it up to you, run.

Leonidas: *jumps onto my right shoulder, serious whisper* Hey boss, while I sometimes enjoy teasing the shit out of you-

Y/n: *annoyed* You do it constantly!

Leonidas: *serious whisper* But you and I can both tell there's something definitely not right with those two.

I understood what leonidas meant and saw jenny and jewls, but more specifically I saw their eyes. When I first met them separately, their eyes were vibrant with their respective eye colors, but seeing them now even if they have a pretty smile on their face, their eyes weren't vibrant. They were empty...hollow.

(Imagine jenny and jewls having blank eyes)

Jenny: *pulls out a bakugan, hollow smile* So are you up for it y/n?

Jewls: *pulls out a bakugan, hollow smile* You can even have a partner, so we can have a bakugan block party!

Runo: *annoyed* Damn it I only brought tig with me! *more annoyed in thought, while chibi self was grinding her teeth together* 'Especially to wipe those bitches to the floor and make them stay away from y/n!'

Tigrerra: It is unfortunate my lady.

Dan: *shaking me* Come on bro pick me! I'm up for any brawl, any time, any place I'm ready to roll!

Marucho: *shaking my arm* Please pick me y/n, this is my chance to show jewls my skills!

Y/n: *annoyed* Both of you stop shaking me! *annoyed sigh* And I'll take marucho.

Marucho: *excited* All right!

Dan: *shocked* Why him?!

Y/n: *shrugs shoulders* I don't know, because we're in his house and we got free food. So I'm trying to be a good guest like mom asked.

Dan: *angry* But I'm your brother!

Y/n: *tilts head a bit while crossing his arms* Your point?

*Marucho's mansion rooftop*

JJ dolls and I went to the roof of marucho's mansion which had a heli port which we're using for the battle. Seriously, how loaded is that little guy's parents?

Y/n: *crosses arms, annoyed* 'What's taking marucho so long?'

Marucho: *running* Sorry for the wait! I got these from my dad's factory.

I then turned my head to see marucho coming, and along with carrying two contraptions with him. I got a good look at them and they looked like launchers. They were triangle in shape along with being white and with respective attribute color.

Y/n: A launcher?

Marucho: *nods with a smile* I asked my father to make some after seeing the one masquerade use, so that you guys could have an equal footing against her. *tries to hand one to me* Here's yours y/n.

Y/n: Sorry little guy, but I'm not interested.

Marucho: *surprised* Are you sure y/n? I did the calculations, you'll have a higher win ratio with the baku-launcher.

Y/n: *crosses arms* My gang and I didn't reach where we got too by relying on gimmick alone.

Leonidas: *on my right shoulder, pops open and looks at marucho* That's right kid, skills can surpass whatever little gimmick anyone brings into the battle.

Y/n: *points at dan behind me* But give the launcher to dan, I imagine he'll get a good kick out of it. *takes the launcher and throws it at dan*

Dan: *starry eyes at baku-launcher, excited smile* This is so sweet! *puts on launcher, and does several poses*

Runo: *crosses arms, serious* Just make sure to take down those broads n/n!

Y/n: *sweatdrop* 'She's definitely still mad, but at least she's not angry at me anymore...I hope.'

Marucho: *strapping his baku-launcher, looks at jj dolls* Wait, isn't this a bit unfair. JJ dolls don't have a shooter.

Jenny: *waves a finger, hollow smile* Don't count us out yet fellas, it's fine. Hey jewls!

Jewls: *hollow smile* We brought ours too.

While not extremely surprised in my case, the others were shocked to see jenny and jewls's launchers are the same ones that a certain mask brawler uses.

Dan: *shocked* Those launchers?!

Jenny: *hollow smile* And that's not all. *shows a doom card*

Runo: *shocked* A doom card?!

Dan: *shocked* So that means-

Y/n: *serious* You two are working for masquerade.

Jenny: *nods with a hollow smile* That's right my special dragon, we work for the mistress.

Runo: *angry* You're just a bunch of sellouts!

Marucho: *confused* Why...why?! Why would someone as great as you jewls work for someone like her?!

Dan: *confused* Yeah, why jenny?!

Jewls: *hollow smile* The mistress told us that if we beat y/n and whoever he teamed up with, we can get anything we want.

Jenny: *looks at me, sultry hollow smile* Anything~. *licks her lips a bit*

Runo: *angry* 'That mask bitch is going to PAY!!!!'

Leonidas: *looks at me* Boss, I don't need to say that masquerade is definitely behind your future girlfriends acting weird?

Y/n: One, shut up leo. Two, that's pretty much made clear and, good chance will have to beat the sense into them. *sighs a bit* So we know what to do gentlemen.

Leonidas: *smirking tone* Pummeling some ass into the ground.

Falconeer: *chirping tone* Earning another victory for you, bossman!

Lagoon: *slightly moody tone* And not get ourselves sent to the damn doom dimension, won't that be swell.

Y/n: *pulls out gate card and looks at marucho, serious* Ready marucho?

Marucho: *pulls out gate card, nods seriously* Yeah!

Y/M/J/J: *gate card glows* Field open!

*Battlefield*

*3rd pov*

Jenny and jewls: *throws out doom cards, in unison* Doom card set!

After the purple wave of energy finished spreading, all brawlers set down a gate card and were ready to brawl.

Jewls: *hollow smirk* I'll go first. *shoots bakugan* Bakugan brawl! *lands on a gate card and pops open* Stinglash stand!

Stinglash: 290 G

Jewls: *does a cute wink at me, hollow smile* What do you think of my perfect shot y/n~?

Marucho: *blushes a bit* 'She's so cute. *annoyed* Why did she have to be attracted to y/n?!'

Y/n: *sighs* It was a decent form.

Marucho: *looks at bakupod, curious* What's up with stinglash? *brings out preyas* Well then I'll bring you out preyas, I checked your data and you have a power level of 300Gs.

Preyas: *pops open* Is my nap over, already?

Marucho: Since I'm facing off against subterra, so the ability I should use-

Preyas: Woah! Hold on there muchacho, we don't need any ability. I got a special power that'll knock that bakugan off his feet.

Lagoon: *sarcastic tone* The only thing that makes you in any way likable and useful.

Preyas: *somehow crying tears of joy* Then, you do see me as a pal lagoon!

Lagoon: *annoyed tone* I was being sarcastic, you idiot!

Marucho: *slightly worried* Will you be alright, preyas?

Preyas: *confident tone* Hey, hey don't get all worried machacho, just sit back and watch the magic happen. *closes up*

Marucho: *serious* Alright, let's do this, preyas! *places preyas inside his baku-launcher* Bakugan brawl! *shoots at the same gate card where stinglash is and pops open* Preyas stand!

Preyas took the form of a humanoid chameleon with fish-like qualities along with having a strong black-colored head plate with his red eyes peering from it.

Preyas: 300 G

Preyas: *crosses arms* Aquos preyas has arrived~.

Y/n: *sweatdrop* So this is preyas, huh?

Lagoon: *annoyed tone* He always has a thing for being theatrical.

Leonidas: *looks at preyas* Hopefully he knows how to throw a good punch.

Falconeer: *chirpy tone* At least he'll be a good punching bag!

Marucho: *excited smile* You really look awesome preyas!

Preyas: *laughs a bit* Get ready kitties, because it's show time! *does a pose*

Marucho: *sweatdrop a bit* Maybe I spoke too soon...?

Lagoon: *looks at marucho, pity tone* 'Prepare to be bombarded with stunts from the most annoying thing in the world, little one.'

Jewls: *hollow smirk* Nice clown act, but dropping in my gate card will be a fatal act for you. Gate card open! Attribute! *gate card glows orange*

Jewls gate card begins to activate and turn the battlefield into a desert.

Preyas: *gives marucho a side glance and gives a victory sign, smile* And we have a winner! Now watch this, my tiny buddy, and excuse me!

Preyas then performs a jump and his body starts to glow prismatically.

Preyas: I'll just chaaaannnngggeee!!!

The glow turned orange and reveled preyas instead of his usual blue skin, it was now changed into brown and orange.

Preyas: Ta-dah! *lands while doing a theatrical gesture* Subterra preyas has arrived!

Marucho: *shocked* He changed his attribute to subterra?!

Y/n: *slightly surprised* Huh, neat. 'Now this will make it my second time seeing an attribute changing bakugan.'

Leonidas: *annoyed tone* 'Great. Now I lost the bet to pyravian! *slightly nervous tone* Wonder what she'll make me do?'

Lagoon: It's a rare ability that only a small few bakugans can be born with, but the annoying showman in front of you is good at changing his attribute.

Jenny: *looks at bakupod, hollow shocked* Jewls, check your bakupod!

Stinglash: 440 G

Preyas: 450 G

Jewls: *hollow annoyed* How is this happening?!

Preyas then performs a high knee attack at stinglash causing the scorpion bakugan to roar in pain and be taken out of the battle.

Preyas: *two finger salute, grin* Sorry, but this sure beats going to the doom dimension, and now I say adieu! *reverts back into ball form and goes back to marucho*

Marucho: *smiles at preyas* You did great, preyas!

Preyas: *pops open* Great? I think I did spectacularly!

Lagoon: *annoyed tone* Which is rare for you.

Jenny: *hollow smirk at y/n* Hey y/n I think it's time we continue where we left off.

Y/n: *serious* Then bring it on jenny. 'I promise, I'll get you and jewls back to normal, believe it!'

End.

Y/n kuso has gotten to meet one of his virtual friends in real life and enjoy the rich life, but now he got to meet up with jenny and jewls again, however they're under masquerade's control. How will he break them out of her grip? And why wasn't he shocked at preyas trick? Stay tuned.

I hope you all enjoy the chapter and all you ladies and gents have a grand epic day!
