I don't own Bakugan it belongs to TMSEntertainment and Japan Vistec. I only own Ashley.

CHAPTER 1: THE BATTLE BEGINS

"I know this is gonna sound weird but one day my whole world changed. You see cards started dropping from the sky coming down like rain. At first we didn't now know where they came from or who sent them. We only knew they were more than just ordinary playing cards. And it was happening all around the world. In the north, in the south. They landed everywhere. Together with my online friends we created a wicked new game we called bakugan. That's when the powers of the cards was revealed. Each one had it's own battling beast that came to life when you threw it down. The battles were intense and if you chose the wrong card you lost it and the beast inside. That's only half the story another even bigger battle was taking place in a parallel universe called Vestroia. My name is Dan and together with my twin sister Ashley, our friends runo, Marucho, Julie, Mr. hot shot himself Shun, and Alice we are the Bakugan battle brawlers."

Ashley POV:

"Mom, we're home" Dan said. We ran up the stairs and again mom was either doing yoga or some other kind of exercise in the living room. Dan and I split apart and went to our separate rooms. I grabbed my Serpenoid, Monarus, and Revenoid and my cards and walked back out.

"Daniel, Ashley I put your lunch in the fridge and please don't forget to wash up" Mom said.

"Okay Mom. Be down in a minute" Dan and I yelled in unison. I waited outside his door for him to decide his bakugan.

Hm let's see I'll take this, oh my saurus. Oh this one for sure. All set" Dan said.

"Jeez Dan do you have to commentate every time you pick a bakugan?" I teased.

"You my darling sister need to shut up" Dan said then playfully pushed me. I laughed.

"Daniel, Ashley your lunch is ready it's getting cold"

"Then why'd you put it in the fridge?" Dan asked. I slapped him in the back of the head.

"Don't get smart with me young man" Mom said as we ran down the stairs.

"Sorry mom," I said, "you know Dan". Dan yelled sorry and gave me a glare. I shrugged my shoulders and stuck my tongue out at him. I could hear mom asking where we were going when Dan and I ran out the door. We hopped onto our bikes on the way to meet Akira for a battle. I wasn't battling I just came with Dan to watch. I loved bakugan and to me it was more than a game it was a part of me. Anyway we skidded to a stop when we saw Akira and some other guy by a park bench.

"Sorry, I'm late" Dan said.

"And here I thought you might have chickened out" Akira said. I rolled my eyes and said "well you apparently don't know us very well do ya Akira". Dan smirked at me and asked Akira who he brought with him.

"You're battle isn't with me Danny Boy".

"Wow, I don't think that's very fair".

"You're right Dan it's not, I'm here they're outnumbered" I said smirking." Dan and I laughed. The guy starts cracking his knuckles acting like he's supposed to be scary.

"My little bro here says you think you're pretty good. Well I guess it's time to find out how good you really are".

"Yeah I'm pretty good. What about you? What's your deal?"

"Names Shuji and I'm the master of subterra space". Ah like Julie.

"You gotta be joking I've never heard of subterra before. Ah great how am I supposed to battle against a beast that doesn't exist". I face palmed. Oh Dan so so stupid. Sometimes I was embarrassed to even be his twin.

"Quit your stalling" Shuji said. Okay now he's just annoying me more.

"Okay let's do this, but I gotta warn ya I've never lost a battle before".I raised my eyebrow. Okay so the 15 times he's lost to me don't count because …? Again Dan is getting cocky and getting rid of logic.

"Are you ready or what?" Shuji asked.

"Let's go" Akira said. Says the boy not even battling. Dan scoffs. The fountain turns on and birds start flying.I grab Dan's shoulder so I can watch the battle.

"Bakugan field open". Everything starts slowing down. Then we're in the battle field.

"Gate card set". They both throw their cards onto the field. Shuji goes first.

"Ready or not here I come he throws his bakugan onto his gate card.

"Bakugan stand". A giant preying mantis pops up. Great a bug I think sarcastically.

"Wow, freaky" Dan said. Dan and I have to jump back to avoid the Mantris' leg. Dan and I turn on our bakupods so we can see the stats. The mantris had a power level of 270Gs. I could tell Dan was thinking about his next move. Which was about the only time he did think the rest of the time he was impulsive.

"You're little bug is going down" Dan says as he throws his bakugan onto Mantris' card and becomes a giant serpent.

"Really Dan you know that Serpenoid is always my choice. Get your own ideas" I tell him. He just smirks at me and turns back to the battle. Serpenoid power level was 320 Gs so it was higher, but I knew not to count my chickens before they hatched. Shuji probably had something up his sleeve. Serpenoid wrapped around mantris.

"Heh alright" Dan said. Shuji did a freaky laugh. See knew it. Shuji opened up his gate card and the ground turned to sand complete with pyramids. Dan and I looked at our baku pods and MAntris had raised to 420 Gs. "Not good" Dan said.

Dan calm down this is only round one you still have time" I told him. Mantris popped out of the ground and slashed at Serpenoid turning him back into a ball which flew back to Dan's feet. Well 1 down however Dab still had 2 bakugan left to use.

You're toast" Shuji said.

I rolled my eyes and yelled, " It's not over till it's over!". Shuji ignored me and started laughing.

"Oh man that was so easy you fell faster than a deck of cards in a tornado. Time to finish what I started" He threw down another bakugan this time onto Dan's card. It was a subterra terrorclaw.

"You think you're pretty good huh?" Dan asked. "Well you better buckle up Shuji because you're going down". He threw his next bakugan which was a ravenoid. "Gate Card open". Rings of fire went everywhere. Ravenoid flew above them flying towards terrorclaw turning him back into a ball.

"looks like it's all tied up!" I yelled.

"Not for long. Gate card set". It was saurus vs. saurus. Dan used an ability card called Saurus Glow Shuji's saurus was wiped out returning to him at his feet. Now it 2-1 with Dan winning. Shuji starts going on about how it can't be happening, how he can't be losing.

"hate to tell you bud but it looks like you're down to your subterra mantris. And if I figure right one more itsy bitsy battle should put you away for good: dan sia and I laughed.

"Yep that bug is getting squashed" I said while I was laughing.

"We'll see about that punk. Gate card set". Shuji throws at Mantris and Dan throws out falconeer. Shuji opens his gate card raising mantris to 300 Gs and uses the ability slice cutter bringing down falconeer to 280 Gs.

"Wow I'm impressed" Dan says sarcastically. "If you think you're the only one holding an ace you're wrong". Dan counters with Frame Flare nullifying Shuji's gate card leaving falconeer at 280 Gs and Mantris at 270 Gs. Mantris got hit by the fireball returning to a ball and we return to the real world.

"Well dan wins" I said. Akira looks dumbstruck by the fact that Shuji lost.

Dan looks at me, "That was easy".

"Was there ever any doubt?" I asked.

********************TIME SKIP**********************

Dan starts bragging to Runo, Julie, aice, and Marucho about his win. I was sitting on his bed looking through my cards and bakugan. Runo bursts his bubble telling him he's only ranked 121.

"Runo thank you, I love you chica" I told her. She laughs and Dan gives me the stink eye before checking his ranking. Turns out he moved to 117. Runo however tells him to hold his breath until he breaks the top 10. I however was sitting happily in the top 20's at 15. Shun and I battle as a team every now and again and we're great together and he's ranked number one, but it's starting to lose its charm for him. While I was sitting there thinking, Runo and Dan started acting like children and Julie starts flirting with Dan and when she kisses the webcam he fell out of his chair while I sit there laughing. Marucho tells him to set his sights on Shun because he's ranked number one and in a few years tells him he could surpass him.

"Actually Dan you may want to beat me first seeing as how you've lost to me 15 times" I say. He however ignores me. Talking about Shun reminds me I need to call him if he's not busy tomorrow.

The next day Dan had detention so I was home before him. I booted up my computer to see if Shun was on which he was.

"Hey shun".

"Hey Ash".

"Have any battles actually worth the time yet" I ask smiling.

He scoffs. "No, they're all a bunch of amateurs"

"Totally with you on that. The idiots here have no skill to give me any fun while battling anymore. Dan can't even give me a challenge anymore" I tell him.

He smiles. "You still coming over tomorrow?"

"Yep can't wait. You need someone to talk to that isn't your grandfather In other news have you heard about the bakugan talking on the web?"

"Yeah I have have you heard them?"

"No, but Dan swears his new bakugan was talking. I think he's in his room convinced he's lost his mind" I say laughing.

He laughs with me. He looks at the clock and says "I gotta go. See you tomorrow".

"Peace".

"Bye".

I sign off and head to bed. Right before I fall asleep I hear dan arguing with somebody but I'm too tired to figure out who with before I'm out. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
