Chapter 1: A New Brawler

Hey everyone I'm here with a new story, I've always loved Bakugan and I've been trying to figure out a way to write my own story and I'm pleased to say I finally figured one out. By using elements from the game and anime I present to you my newest story. Please Review and Enjoy.

Everything changed one day when all these random cards started raining down everywhere on every corner of the world.

Interested in this new discovery many kids online worked together to create a new game called Bakugan.

That's when the powers of the cards came to life, each card had a beast inside that came to life when you threw it down.

But little did anyone know it would lead to something bigger than they could ever imagine.

As a moving van was driving through the city it comes to a stop in front of a house.

Stepping out of the van was a boy with spiky short spiky blue hair with black highlights, green eyes, black Pants with a chain on the side, a red leather jacket, black finger gloves, red boots and a sweet pair of red Sunglasses with Orange Glass hanging on his head. This was Kane Yamamoto.

"So, this is my new home?" Kane said to himself before letting out a sigh. 'Why did my dad have to open shop here?' He thought.

Reaching to his belt Kane picked up a red ball like object and rolls it in his hand when he suddenly got a text. Opening it up he got a message. "Shop's Open, come check it out." He read aloud.

Closing his phone Kane walks down the street passing by a boy his age with brown hair, a red jacket, red pants and a yellow t-shirt under. This was Dan Kuso.

"Hmm, who's that guy?" Dan asks himself.

Meanwhile in a dark and desolate location filled with statues of old Bakugan. This was the Doom Dimension, a place where all Bakugan go to die. However, from the old Bakugan small orbs of light made their way into the sky creating a large red orb in the sky.

As more orbs floated into it the more the orb expanded before lightning crackled and the orb exploded and from it a large dragon shaped shadow shot into the sky and disappeared.

Making his way into town Kane looks around for his dad's shop until he finds a shop with a Bakugan on it called "Get your Brawl On!"

"Not a bad name." Kane said walking in to see a man with short blue hair at the counter. This was Steve Yamamoto, Kane's father. "Hey dad." Kane said getting his attention.

"Hey Kane, so, what do you think of the new Bakugan Shop?" Steve asks gesturing to everything.

"It's pretty cool dad. How many customers have you gotten?" Kane asks.

Steve opens his mouth to say something but closes it. "None, I thought kids liked Bakugan. What am I doing wrong?"

"Don't worry dad, once other brawlers find out there's a Baku Shop here you'll be overflowing with customers." Kane assured him.

"Oh, speaking of which." Steve reaches below the counter and pulls out a Bakupod. "So, you can carry yours around if you ever want to brawl."

"Thanks Dad." Clipping it to his pants Kane walks to the door. "I'll see if I can find any customers."

"How about you try finding some friends first?" His dad smirks.

"Dad, we just moved into town I doubt I'm gonna meet anyone on my first day." Kane said.

"What about that Pen Pal of yours from China? How is she?" Steve asks.

"Chan Lee's already made her way into the top 10 while I'm still in the 90's." Kane sighs.

"Well you gotta give the girl credit, she's determined." Steve shrugs as Kane walks out.

In the park Kane was sitting on a bench near the fountain.

'Man, why is it so hard to find any Brawlers in this town?' Kane thought when Dan passed by and saw him.

'Hey it's that kid again.' Dan thought.

"What are you looking at Dan?" A voice from his pocket calls out.

Looking down Dan saw a red Bakugan open up on his shoulder.

"I don't know Drago, just something about him that I—" Dan pauses when he sees two boys making their way towards Kane. One was a short kid with a hat and red hair, the other was a large overweight kid with a brown vest and black hair. These were Shuji and Akira. "Uh oh, looks like he's got trouble."

"Hey you." Shuji said getting Kane's attention. "You're not from around, here are you?"

"Uh nope, just moved here today." Kane said.

"Well let me give you the low down. Here I rule this park and anyone who wants to be here has to answer to me." Shuji said pointing to himself for emphasis.

"Is that right?" Kane narrows his eyes.

"Let me show you how a real Bakugan Brawler battles." Shuji said cracking his knuckles.

"Yeah, show him who's boss." Akira grins.

"Hey Shuji, didn't anyone teach you it's rude to gang up on someone?"

The three of them turn around to see Dan standing behind them.

'Whoa, that's Dan from the Bakugan Battle Brawlers.' Kane thought impressed.

"Get lost Kuso, this one is all mine." Shuji said.

"Not if I have—"

"No it's fine." Kane said surprising Dan.

"Huh?" Dan and Akira look at Kane with surprised looks.

"This guy wants to battle me? Fine, I'm ready for one." Kane said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a black card.

Shuji grins as he pulls out a black card of his own. "This is gonna be fun."

Reaching into his pocket Dan also pulls out a card.

"Field open!" The three of them said as time temporarily froze and the three of them were transported to the Bakugan battle arena.

As Kane and Shuji stood on opposite sides of each other Dan stood in the middle as an observer.

"Gate Card Set!" Shuji and Kane said throwing down a gate card.

"Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" Shuji throws as brown Bakugan onto his gate card and it opens up. "Rise Subterra Mantris!" From the light a large brown insect creature appeared.

Subterra Mantris: 270G

"Hmm not bad, but I got just the guy for the job. Bakugan Brawl!" Kane throws a Bakugan onto the same card as Mantris. "Bakugan Stand! Go Pyrus Juggernoid!" From the light a large red turtle creature appears.

Pyrus Juggernoid: 280G

Subterra Mantris: 270G

"Pretty basic move." Drago said.

"Yeah, I hope he knows what he's getting into." Dan said.

"Gate Card Open!" Shuji said as the field around the turned to earth

Subterra Mantris: 370G

Pyrus Juggernoid: 280G

"Oh yeah, you fell for that one easy!" Shuji mocks.

"Did I?" Kane smirks holding up a card. "Ability Activate! Shadow Scratch!" Kane throws a card which pierces Mantris's shadow.

Subterra Mantris: 270G

Pyrus Juggernoid: 280G

"My Gate Card?!" Shuji gasps.

"You're mine now! Go Juggernoid!" Kane said as Juggernoid tackles Mantris knocking him back into ball form.

Shuji: 2 Bakugan

"What? But how did you?" Shuji asks stunned.

"Shadow Scratch is an ability card that nullifies any power boost given to my opponent's Bakugan." Kane explains.

"Whoa, that was a good move." Dan said impressed.

"Grr, gate card set!" Shuji said throwing down another gate card. "Bakugan Brawl!" Shuji throws the Bakugan onto his Gate card. "Bakugan Stand! Go Terrorclaw!"

On the card a large brown crab like creature appeared.

Subterra Terrorclaw: 300G

"My turn. Bakugan Brawl!" Kane throws his Bakugan over Terrorclaw and lands on his gate card. "Bakugan Stand! Go Pyrus Mantris!" On the field a red version of Shuji's Mantris appeared.

Pyrus Mantris: 320G

Subterra Terroclaw: 300G

"Ability activate! Marionette! This card lets me pull one of your Bakugan onto any gate card I choose." Kane said.

"What?!" Shuji gasps as Mantris releases red beams pulling Terrorclaw onto his gate card. "Gate Card open!" Kane said as flames surrounded them.

Pyrus Mantris: 420G

Subterra Terrorclaw: 300G

Swinging his arms Mantris slashes Terrorclaw turning him back into a ball.

Shuji: 1 Bakugan

"No way…I lost again?" Shuji said in shock.

"Amazing, that's two great ability cards and each one has given him victory." Dan said.

"His use of tactics is very impressive indeed." Drago nods.

"Grr! You're really annoying me!" Shuji growls.

"Well maybe you should try focusing on the match instead of trying to humiliate me." Kane said causing Shuji to roar in anger.

"Oh I'll show you who's gonna get humiliated! Bakugan Brawl!" Shuji threw his last Bakugan onto his card. "Saurus Stand!" From the light a large dinosaur shaped warrior appeared.

"Subterra Saurus: 290G

"Alright, I'm done. Bakugan Brawl! Pyrus Siege, stand!" Appearing in front of Saurus was a red armored warrior with a lance in his hand surprising both Shuji and Dan.

"A Pyrus Siege? How'd you get such a rare Bakugan like that?!" Shuji asks.

Pyrus Siege: 350G

"Gate Card Open!" Shuji said as the terrain changed to earth again.

Subterra Saurus: 390G

Pyrus Siege: 350G

Saurus charges at Siege who blocks his punches with his lance, but the force of the punches push him backwards.

"Ability activate! Fire Saber!" Kane said as his Siege's lance burst into flames as he slashes Saurus sending it crashing to the ground.

As time continues Akira looks to see Shuji and all his Bakugan on the ground.

"I lost. I can't believe he beat me so easily." Shuji groans.

"Later." Kane said turning around to leave.

"I'll get you next time! I swear!" Shuji declares.

"If you say so." Kane shrugs it off when Dan walks up to him.

"Dude that was amazing, how'd you do it?" Dan asks.

"It's uh not a big deal." Kane shrugs.

"He used strategy Dan, something you have yet to master." Drago said causing Dan to growl.

"Watch it mister or I'll toss you in the river again." Dan growls.

'Whoa, a talking Bakugan?' Kane thought surprised. "Uh are you two alight?" Kane asks snapping them out of it.

"Uh yeah sorry about that, so where did you get all those cool ability cards and that Siege?" Dan asks.

"Oh, well my dad owns a Bakugan shop and I get all my stuff from him." Kane said causing stars to form in Dan's eyes.

"Your own Bakugan Shop?! Dude you have to show me!" Dan said excited.

"Okay okay calm down. Look the shop will be open tomorrow, meet me here and I'll take you there." Kane said.

"Ah sweet! Hey by the way I never got your name." Dan said.

"My name's Kane Yamamoto."

"Well Kane, my name's Dan. You just might be the second most amazing Pyrus Brawler I've ever met." Dan said.

"Second? Who's the first?" Kane raises an eyebrow.

"Me of course." Dan smirks. "Nobody can beat me and Drago."

"Oh boy there he goes again." Dragon groans causing Kane to chuckle.

'I like this guy.' Kane thought.

As the sun was setting Kane was making his way back to his house thinking about Dan and Dragon.

"Someday…I'll be a great Brawler, maybe even a Battle Brawler." Kane said when suddenly a bright light shined in front of him. "What the?!" Kane gasps as the light got brighter knocking him to the ground.

As the light dies down a red Bakugan lands at his feet.

"A Bakugan?" Kane picks it up and inspects it. "I've never seen this one before."

As Kane picks it up the Bakugan opens surprising him.

"Wh-Where am I?" It asks.

"Uh planet Earth." Kane said surprised.

"Not in Vestroia?" It asks.

"Wh-Who are you?" Kane asks.

"My name is Leonidas."

"Leonidas…hey how would you like to be my battle partner?" Kane asks getting the Bakugan's interest.

"Battle? Are you saying that if I come with you, I can battle other Bakugan?" Leonidas asks.

"Yeah we'll beat them all." Kane said.

"I sense in this world I will only release my true power in these Bakugan battles." Leonidas said.

"So is that a yes?" Kane asks.

"Of course it is." Leonidas said causing Kane to cheer, but little did he know this encounter would lead to something bigger than both the brawler and the Bakugan could ever imagine.
