Alright! I am back in action with some new material! Actually its an old story idea i've have for like 5 years, but never really had time to work on it and then I forgot about it. But I found it again and decided to develop it into something real so here you go! I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Ok you all know by now that this would have happened if I owned the show.

Failed efforts

Jake could here Dan's voice and he finally broke free. Kazarina was shocked when Jake suddenly yelled and shoved her to the ground. And then to make matters worse the stupid princess had to storm in right then as well.

Grrrrr" she growled and then explained to her partner why cordon had broken free as well. Jake ran over to secure Dan, Kazarina took this opportunity to retrieve the counsel. "Your not getting Dan back from me!" But Aronot soon took care of that counsel by destroying it, and she narrowly escaped the blast. Then she tried distracting Fabia and her partner by mentioning painful memories about his old partner, but apparently it ended up only strengthening their bond instead of breaking it. ARURHHRHR this is just not my day! No matter, I will salvage at least one thing from it all.

Jake was shaking Dan trying to wake him up, but the whole building suddenly shook again and knocked everyone, even the bakugan, off their feet.

After Kazarina regained her footing she took quick action and grabbed Dan while he was still half unconscious, jumped on her partner and then ran as fast as they could, leaving the Fabia and Jake angry and desperately trying to catch her. But she knew this castle better then them, and she managed to slip away in a secret passage.

Dan was groaning a little bit but she kept her hand over his mouth to keep him quite. He was still not fully out of his trance yet which was good for her, it meant she didn't have to worry about him fighting her for at least a few more minutes. Unfortunately she didn't have time to grab Drago, which Emperor Borodius will not be pleased with, but she could still make use of Dan.

She had underestimated Jake's will. She suspected it was because she was pushing it to the limit with making him destroy his own friend, though she suspected Dan was somehow behind it too. I knew I sensed something in him when I had first connected with his mind earlier, but I ignored it. Now that I am with him again I still sense it, a humming power linked to the phycological part of the brain. Maybe Dan has some hidden abilities no one knows about yet. None the less, I can explore it later.

She suddenly had an idea. She decided it would be better to replace Jake with Dan, except it will be different. She will keep Dan away from his friends and make a new life for him here. That way he will be connected to her and Gundalia and not able to break free from his new way of thinking so easily. Plus it would give her plenty of time to figure out this mysterious power he seems to have, one that she doubts he even knows about himself. She had a lot of work ahead of her with this, but first she needed to keep him under her control.

She sat him up against a wall and grabbed his chin to get his eyes in line with hers. His eyes were already close to normal, which startled her. He was coming back quicker then she thought. She could tell he was trying to focus on her, not realizing who he was looking at yet. That was perfect. She lit up her eyes and forced him into a plain obedient state, one where he would just listen to orders like a zombie, this way she wouldn't have to carry him everywhere. When her power connected them and Dan's eyes also glowed he tensed at first, but then relaxed into the control, not being aware enough to realize he had to fight it. His eyes became half lidded but kept the yellowing, as his body came to stand up on its own and wait for orders.

Kazarina smiled evilly, this was truly perfect. Dan Kuso was under her command. His friends may have gotten there buddy back and Drago (though since Dan was still under her control Drago would be useless to them), but they certainly weren't going to be feeling too cheeky because they still lost their leader in the process. That would sting their ego's hard, knowing they failed to protect their precious leader, twice non the less. MHHHH, these are the kind of things that help me sleep at night.

Alrighty! So what did you all think? Was it too cheesy? Was it in character for Kazarina? Did it feel too rushed? Should I keep going or just leave it as a one shot kinda deal? Let me know!
