This has nothing to do with my other fanfiction. I received inspiration from a dream to write this. There are going to be no hints about this story, and no (other) headers or footers.
All non-bakugan characters are based off real people, but their names have been changed.
Please enjoy!
Ren looked at the other members of his team. Every single one of them felt it too; a powerful pull, tugging at what felt like their very souls.
"It is truly a mysterious sensation," Jesse commented, one hand over his heart. Zenet rolled her eyes.
"Weird and creepy is more like it."
Ren suddenly heard a voice. It was something like his own, but it felt far away. The words were garbled, and accompanied by an image of a human girl walking in circles around a dirty bedroom, talking avidly to someone he couldn't see.
"What are all of you doing here?"
Ren looked to see Nurzak watching them. He immediately snapped to attention, as did everyone else. Nurzak told them to be at ease.
"Something unusual has been happening, sir," Lena explained. "All of us have been having visions of a human girl and hearing someone speaking for the past few days. We have no explanation."
"Oh, so you've been hearing that too?" Stoica asked, seeming to materialize. "I thought I'd just finally lost it."
Ren stiffened to attention again, his mind going a million miles a second. Not only him and his team, but the Twelve Orders too?
A transmission came in on his earpiece, and Ren pressed it to turn it on. Everyone in the ten foot radius of him did the same.
"Everyone report to my Bakugan Biology laboratory," Kazarina said, her voice tinny with static. "Emperor Barodius wishes your presence."
"Understood," Ren answered out loud. He-along with his team, Stoica, and Nurzak-walked down the dimly lit hallway.
In the lab, Kazarina was preparing one of her many machines. The Emperor stood nearby and watched them approach. Ren knelt before Barodius and waited until he was instructed to stand. Kazarina stopped calibrating her machine, and crossed her arms, beginning her explanation.
"Not even twelve hours ago, I became aware of a powerful force pulling a few members of the Twelve Orders. After thorough examination, I discovered that the unknown force was interdimensional and emanated from a different, parallel universe. Not only that, the source was a single Human female."
A video of the mysterious Human from his visions formed on the large wall screen. She was talking and walking around the same room as before. However, she was talking to absolutely no one. Her hand and arm gestures were getting increasingly dramatic, and her voice grew loud enough for Ren to hear his own name mentioned, as well as Jesse's.
"We are unsure about the Human in question," Kazarina continued, "but she appears aware of our observations."
Right on cue, the girl stopped talking, turned to-apparently-look directly at them. She threw her arms open in a dramatic gesture and said loudly: "What is the cause? What is the crime?"
It was not lost on Ren that she was speaking in the same accent Jesse used.
"After much consideration," Barodius interjected. "I have decided to send you and your team, Ren, to bring this strange Human to Gundalia. Stoica will go with you."
Stoica was not discouraged that he was the babysitter. In fact, he was very excited to find this Human. Who knew what else she could do?
"How are we to proceed?" Ren asked. Barodius looked at Kazarina for her to explain. She straightened immidiately.
"We will open a portal with Stoia's ship to her home planet. You will teleport to the coordinates of what I have identified to be her school. Do whatever is necessary to bring her back to Gundalia, short of physical force. Bring anyone else if necessary; we can send them back once we have her here."
"As you wish," Ren replied, bowing at the waist.
