Hello one and all to 'Amethyst Light: Axl', the second fan-fiction I've published! A little warning for this chapter: This one doesn't, I repeat, doesn't take place in the Bakugan Universe itself, but is still important. The next chapter will be in the Bakugan-verse, ok? So with that out of the way, here's 'Amethyst Light: Axl'!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bakugan in any way what-so-ever. I'm just a fan who has an overactive imagination. This story is one of the results of that. And I only own my fan characters. (It's pretty easy to tell who they are, I think.)

Started: 2/17/16-Finished: 2/24/16

...

Despite it being in the middle of the night, the shrine was glowing. There were no lamps, lanterns, or lights, instead it was as if the walls themselves were glowing, reflecting the full moon's light.

At the center of the shrine was a large, violet clouded crystal was embedded into the ground with cracks forming cracks around it. In front of the crystal stood a blonde, white clad figure who was staring at the object in front of her. She suddenly spun around, her left arm outstretched as a jewel covered sword appeared in her hand in a flash of light, the tip of it pointed at the throat of another behind her. The two stayed in this position for several moments before the second figure smirked.

"And here I thought you wouldn't notice." The sword's tip moved closer to his neck.

"Not notice what, Sai?" The girl glared. "The fact that you Reverse were destroying Soul Stones all around the dimension? You weren't really keeping a low profile as you did."

"Well we did destroy a lot before you responded like this..."

"We've been busy..." The blonde trailed off, her sword lowering an inch.

"Looking for those you'll never find." Sai finished for her. "Why won't you and your friends just accept it, Angie? You know they're never coming back." Angie looked towards the ground before returning to her previous stance.

"Why are you destroying the Soul Stones?" The Reversian just smirked as he took a step back and walked towards the crystal behind Angie, who still had her sword trained on him.

"I think the better question," Sai placed a hand on the purple gem. "Is why we haven't destroyed some of them."

Angie's eyebrows creased in thought, Sai had a point. According to Noah, small groups of Reverse have been traveling from town to town, cities to cities, and villages to villages with Soul Stones in them. But Kim and Ray, who were at separate attacks, had told her that sometimes, a Reverse would place a hand, or anything similar to a hand, on the crystal then shortly leave the area.

"I'm guessing from the look on your face that no one ever told you the importance of these crystals." Sai said, snapping Angie out of her thoughts. Her glare returned.

"Of course I was told!" She exclaimed. " The Soul Stones are the things that keep this dimension in bal-"

"I'm talking about the OTHER purpose." Sai interrupted, annoyed. Angie was about to snap at him for doing so before the purple gem started glowing, very brightly at that.

"Well," Awed Sai. "Didn't expect this to happen so soon. Could've sworn Phoenix would arrive first..." Angie, who was, ironically, trying to block out the light, turned to the surprised Reversian.

"Didn't expect what to happen?" Sai only just turned around and started for the exit.

"You'll find out..." He said without looking back. She was about to give chase when she heard a large, cracking sound coming from the crystal behind her. The blonde turned around and was greeted to a wave of shattered crystal and dust as the crystal seemed to exploded. Once the dust had settled, Angie could see two things floating above the rubble of the once Soul Stone: A light purple orb and a dark purple orb, both about the size of a tennis ball.

Angie stared at the two floating objects as they, as suddenly as they appeared, shot up and disappeared into the now early morning sky. At the exit, Sai paused a step before it. His voice echoed off the shrine's walls.

"If you really want to know," He whispered, "Ask the young Miss if you ever find her."

His body vanished into the shadows.

...

And that's the prologue to 'Amethyst Light: Axl'! If this chapter made absolutely NO sense to you (Which is most probably the case) don't worry, it'll eventually make sense as the series progresses. Hopefully... And like I said before, the next chapter will take place in the Bakugan Universe, so we'll actually have plot directly related to this story. Yay! Anyhow, any criticism is welcome, so leave a review if you want to!

On a side note, it took me literally an entire week to write this short chapter. It took me only two days to write 'Corrupted Symbol''s prologue! And they're BOTH about three pages long! Then again, I was stuck on figuring out how to start this story...

Until The Next Raid!
