Bakugan: Planetary Crusaders

[Azazel Grantz]

Azazel glared at Houston.
"You don't know...what happened to my own country?" He said, his voice shaking with anger.
"You can save an entire galaxy or whatever, but you can't save one FREAKING COUNTRY!?"
"Calm down-"
"Shut up! Millions of people died! MILLIONS! My friends, mi familia.....gone. All because you were selfish enough to just forget about them!"
"Azazel stop it now!" Entress yelled, half frightened herself.
"You MURDERER!!!" Azazel shouted, a pillar of lava encased him and burned a hole in the ceiling. It began spreading, and harsh tremors began tearing the place apart.
"NO!!!" Entress leaped in the lava as well, trying to save her partner. His angry assault on Houston and his quarters destroyed nearly half the entire wing of the castle. Meanwhile, back in space....
"Azazel's Bakucannon signal died." Stella said.
"...Go check it out." Commander Shockz said.
"But isn't it against protocol to-"
"Stella....go." he said, suprisingly softly.
"Ok." She said, and pinpointed Houston's signal, one she made friendly after her rescuing him. She teleported herself dow ther, only to find ruin. Then she burst in tears, as she saw Azazel encased in stone.
(Azazel won't be used for awhile, so do not try to revive him or anything.)

Lye had finally gotten Kayhl to stop crying, he walked a good distance away and opened a portal to transport him to Houston's current location. Houston was on the move, as always, so he didn't end up with him as he was propelling himself up and onto the rooftops. Lye looked over and saw Stella in tears by a pillar of stone, and oddly enough, Lye could also sense life in it. "Stella, are you okay." Gen finally emerged from the shadows, "I believe Azazel went berserk and encased himself in stone." Leice remained hidden, but you would already know he was with Gen. "Alright look, I'm going to bring Azazel to Gimasio. Stella, Gen... Leice, you're all welcome to follow." Lye was a bit shaky one manipulating the earth because it was a new attribute he had picked up, but he managed to lift the pillar into the air. "Phaeton, open a portal to Houston's foyer, my hands are kinda full." Goulrok interjected for a moment, "Do you want me to carry it Lye," Lye just waved him off, "I need to get used to Earth Spirit, or I'll never be a good sage." Gen held his hand out to Stella, showing his softer side, "Come on, if you aren't feeling well then I'll guide you, okay." Phaeton opened the portal and they stepped through, ending up in the foyer of Houston Keene's palace.

(I have a great Idea for an Azazel side quest while he's in the stone pillar)

[Houston Keene]

"I'm no murderer," Houston said as Azazel became encased in stone, "I just have bad luck."

"If anyone here is responsible for the murders, it's Caesar," Sol said, trying to console Houston.

"I know that. I'm going to check the TV," Houston said, turning on the television. He flipped it over to the news. The channel 5 news network was always the best in the world. Gimnasio never really made news unless Houston did something that involved humanitarian work, catching a dangerous criminal, or saving the world or universe in general, but occasionally, it does when it's attacked. The female reporter of the station, Ginger Stiles, a very pretty, red haired, brown eyed woman in her early twenties, was in Gimnasio doing a field report, while her colleague Matthew James, a brown haired, brown eyed man in his late twenties, was in Brazil.

"Today, the Royal Air Force, or RAF, planes were stolen, and a bombing run led by terrorists ensued on two countries: the country of Brazil in South America, and the small island country of Gimnasio, off the coast of the United States' East Coast. Brazil is known for its coffee and other products, while Gimnasio is known for its bakugan related products and ways, and for its king, King Houston Keene. While Houston's bakugan is a legendary bakugan, the Universe Dragonoid, it seems like Houston arrived in Gimnasio in just the nick of time to use the technology of the country. No one in the capitol city was hurt, and most of the buildings remain untouched, and it seems like only the capitol was targeted. King Houston was in Britain at the time of the planes' launch, but was unable to stop it due to being held captive in Wind Emperor Caesar's castle in London. Travelling with Houston were his friends and colleagues, including the king of Brazil, Azazel Grantz. There have only been five casualties, with each one in the hospital recovering. Here is Matthew with more on the story in Brazil," Ginger said, giving her report.

The view then flipped to Brazil's capitol city, Brasilia. Matthew was standing in front of the capitol building, which had nearly been destroyed by bombs.

"I'm here in Brazil's capitol city Brasilia, in front of the nearly destroyed capitol building. The bombing run here hit, and it hit hard. Luckily, most people were able to move to underground bomb shelters before the bombs hit," Matthew said, his face turning a bit darker, "However, the casualty count here is a bit higher than Gimnasio's. While most people were able to get to underground shelters, a few unlucky families were not. Three families, one with six people, one with five, and one with seven, were all trapped in their apartment buildings when they collapsed. The family of five has lost their six year old daughter, and their 37 year old father and husband. Their seventeen year old son is currently in critical condition, while the 35 year old mother and fifteen year old daughter are in the Intensive Care Unit.

As for the family of six, four of the members of the family have died. The mother, age 37, the father, age 42, and two of their sons, age thirteen and twenty respectively. The last son, age seven, and their daughter, age 18, are in the Intensive Care Unit, with the son in critical condition.

The family of seven is, unfortunately, lost in the rubble at this moment. Their sixteen year old son was out of the house when the bombs fell, and is currently in the underground shelters. This has been Matthew James and Ginger Stiles with Channel 5 News."

[Azazel Grantz]

(Azazel is the son of the then mayor, now president of the country. As for the name Brazilia, that's only a English nickname he has given his country, not it's capitol. I'll be sure to look up the actual capitol later, but everything else is splendid Houston. As for you Lye, tell me about the idea in a PM please.) Stella wiped her face and looke at Lye.
"Do something for him...please. Whatever you can do..." she looked back at Houston and took a shakey breath. She walked towards him and stared at the report on T.V. once it ended, she cursed the RAF under their breath.
"Stupid Earthlings. Always ruining things...always starting wars for no good reason. Ripping families and friends apart...." she cursed again, ready to cry, but halted her tears.
"Who stole the planes?" She asked. Tigrerra and Nemus popped up on her shoulders.
"I intend on getting revenge on the fools who dare hurts a college of ours." Nemus said. Tigrerra was silent.
Meanwhile, at the Crimson Pirates HQ......
Hita was laughing wickedly and Torque had a wide grin on his face.
"Looks like our good ally, Caesar is making quite the specticle. All the while, we slowly steal military secrets...." Torque said. A grunt spoke up in the background.
"We have new developments. A member, Lye Fermin, has a home in Neathia. And, we found the Estigma Gear."
"Wonderful. Now, let's head to this Neathia. Let's pay them a visit. They could have another gear." Hita said.
"After we find the last few gears, the Assault of Dreadnought will be complete." Their leader, Zeed, said.
(No one shall know of the threat to Neathia. Also, I will be taking a break for plot developement, no longer than 2 days. It's fine if you post, but make it a temporary stoping point post. Since I don't know how, someone lock the thread)

[Deleted]

Lye's eyes widened as his paternal instinct kicked in. His first move was making a portal for Neathia, he had to get Kayhl out of danger.

Once in Neathia, he told Kieth he and Fabia needed to evacuate the city to New Vestroia. It took a while, but the ost of the inhabitants of Neathia when Hita, Torque and the others arrived. Then he noticed he was all alone in this fight. "Ugh, this bites. Least I saved Kayhl. Kanji?" Kanji popped up in ball form, "Yes?" Lye tossed her onto the ground in front of him. "Take these." Lye handed her a single set of abilities, "Lye, these look like my ability cards, what are you.." Lye held up a hand and silenced her, "Esaeler Tnatsnoc" The spell cast constant release on Kanji, "Watch over Kayhl for me if I don't come back from this." Kanji rolled her eyes, "Dude, you're a main character, you have Plot Shield." Lye gave her a blank look, "Kanji, can I ever be dramatic. Just go to New Vestroia with my son."

[Azazel Grantz]

(Was.your sdrawkcab hceeps spell inspired by DC's Zatanna? I though that was one of the more lesser known abilities, my props to you Lye.)

"Ughhh, how is this guy here?" Hita moaned.
"Quite down Hit-"
"Shut up."
"Let's just dust this brat and get it over with alright? That's all i'm-"
"Shut. Up. Gate card, set. Bakugan brawl. Go Pyrus Rex Dragonoid! Torque, get to the capitol, now! I'll hold off this brat! Ability Activate, Rex Hammer!" Dragonoid glowed with a powerful energy as electricity crackled around his body. He took one step, at least that is what could be seen, and vanished. In reality, even for his huge dino/dragon like body, he moved at speeds the naked eye could'nt percieve. He smashed into the ground infront of Lye, sending him dozens of meters away with cratering force.
"And that was my weak hand." The gravily-voiced beast boomed.

[Deleted]

"Looks like I'm gonna let my pride somewhat kill me. Goulrok, Phaeton, you can activate your own abilities, stop Torque at all costs." Phaeton and Goulrok nodded and ran off, they were both constant release bakugan. "Now, I'll show you..." Lye drew both Sage Dimensia and Dimensia Duplica from their respective sheaths, "The true power of a Dimensional Sage." Four auras flared about him, earth, though slightly weaker than the others; Haos; Darkus, his absolute strongest; and Pyrus, his second strongest. He stood from where his body was harshly slammed, "Etingi," At the spell, both blades simultaneously burst into flames as he braced himself for the next attack. "You know what they say you Drago Wannabe, the bigger they are, the harder they fall."

(I guess this will be another one of Lye's side quests, and to Azazel, I'm not really into DC, i just wouldn't remember any of the words i made up, so i reversed them completely.)

[Ryek Marachion]

Ryek walked out wearing only a grey tank top and a towel slung over his shoulders.Ryek stared at the tv." hmmm... Gimnasio, Brazil. Ceaser seems to be targeting the homes of us." ryek then sat and tried to think who's would be next. He came up with absolutly nothing. Just after that, he noticed lyre absence." where's lye?" baracudas floated up in ball form. But, in his ball form, there was patches of gold on him.

[Houston Keene]

"I don't know where Lye is, but I'm not worried. The kid can handle himself in a fight," Houston said, "As for Caesar, he's only targeting Gimnasio and Brazil because he knows that they won't retaliate. No one wants World War III. He won't target New Vestroia or any other worlds because of their variability in combat."

[Azazel Grantz]

Stella glared at Ryek, not in a mean way, but in an affectionate way. She ran over and hugged him around the neck, her pink eyes growing soft.
"Oh Ryek. It's awful. Azazel is turned into stone. Places were bombed and...what do we do?" She weeped, mostly falsely. She knew what she would do, hunt down this Caesar person and anihilate him. But her code of 'snatching Boy's' would'nt allow for such crass behavior. No, she would be the damsel in distress. Suprisingly, it worked, for those who didn't fall for a flip of her blonde hair or a batting of her eyes. Her bakugan, now called Centaur Rosa, popped out it's ball form.
"Such a hussy."
"Shut up!"
"This isn't even-" stella quickly silenced the orb.
"Anyway. Ryek, I know you and Azazel haven't known each other long, but please. On his behalf, help takedown Caesar." She said, more serious this time.

But Azazel wasn't totally lost. Less could be said for Entress, but only his body was a statue. His mind was still perfectly in tact, although an angry mess, but still intact.
"That Houston...." azazel grumbled, his astral self floating around in some soort of void.
"Ugghh, I can't believe I have such a trivial child as my conduit." A powerful voice said.
"What?"
"My manners are slipping, I've been trapped inside an insufferable brat for nearly 15 years. I'm Vulcanis,other wise known as Gaia Force, the root of all subterra energy. And you, are in desperate need of a soul searching quest." He said, before a
bright glare blinded Azazel sending him to an unknown destination.

Back on Neathia...
"Ability, Infernal Eraser!" A large dark red fire beam was shot from Rex Dragonoid's mouth to strike Lye head on. The impact caused a giant fiery explosion and the shockwaves blew powerful gusts.
"Survive that, Wizard sword boy." Hita cackled.

[Houston Keene]

(You might wanna change Vulcanis's name. Crash Terron's Crasher Mech's name is Vulcanus.)

"Caesar is the least of our problems at the moment. The flare up of Earth Magic Azazel caused might bring unwanted attention to us," Houston snapped, "Not everything is about taking down Caesar! There are other important things. Yes, Caesar caused a ton of commotion in the world recently, but without proper proof, the world's gonna pass it off as just another terrorist attack. Caesar has locked us out of Britain, and in the position of power he is currently holding, he could easily take other countries, and keep us out of there, too."

"Houston..." Sol said, trying to sooth Houston's temper, which was causing his aura to flare.

"And even if we DID manage to kill Caesar, what then? Caesar's dead, but what does that accomplish except giving you a bit of revenge? You'd be labeled an international criminal for killing a person in power. And then there is Torque, Hita, and Neo. Whoever they're working for might be in cahoots with Caesar. That would just piss them off further, and bring more unwanted attention to us."

"Houston! Calm down!" Sol commanded, the force of his words making Houston calm, subduing his aura. The faintest hint of burning gasses, the scent of a star, was left in the air.

[Ryek Marachion]

Ryek laughed and lightly pushed her off of hi." I don't think there's much I can do. I can't mess with subterra energy. I only know water magic." he then turned to Stella, a blank look in his eyes." and please don't touch us. We don't know you that well." the us he was reffering to was him and veriadon.

[Deleted]

Lye stood unphased by the attack, the flames streaming into his mouth. "For those who haven't dealt with a Sage of four elements, let my repeat myself in English: Phaeton. Pyra Dragon Slayer. Fire Absorbtion." Lye only demonstrated just some of his power that originated with the link between him and his sage bakugan. "Now part two: Noisluper FIRE" He inhaled and his exhale launched the fiery burst back at the dragonoid bakugan. Lye launched himself into the air at Rex, "You should't mess with Sages, the willingly control all six elements of nature." He twisted around like a propeller and kicked the bakugan just before he descended to the ground, falling into a portal he had lain that spat him back out feet behind Torque. "Scared yet?"

[Azazel Grantz]

Torque was halfway to the ship when Lye came out of nowhere.
"What the-Lye? How the heck did you beat...ah, a teleporter. You hightailed it out of there huh? Typical little punk. Alright, I'll play around." He said, firinng off a few energy bolts from his cannon. He sent out Megolem, the giant golem bakugan as an obsticle. Megolem fell straight ontop of Lye.

Stella turned around to Houston and grimmaced.
"Do I care about this backwater planet? Does it look like I care even a little for this stupid war bent planet? This deranged evil cesspool of anger and prejiduce and hate? I don't care if I'm outlawed from this place, it'd be a blessing! I hatte Earth and I hate Humans! Not one single person on this planet has given me a reason to think otherwise, not even you! All I want is Caesar. To be perfectly honest, I don't care for his home town, but I do care that it hurt him. I do care that he was pissed of at you and I care that....." she chocked on her last words.
"Look. I'm not the hero, I don't care to be. I work for my planets governmet that's all. All of this, is extra clock time for me. So as far as I'm concerned, Houston, Caesar IS what matters. And after we get him, I'm done here." She stormed off, her bakugan in toe. Centaur Rosa was the only one left behind.
"Hehehe, now that's her real personality. Anywho, you might as well keep us around, as much as she hates you, she does need you. As far as what to do next, I suggest we head back to Brazil. We need to get something. Go on ahead, I'll meet you there. I doubt she wants to tag along." Rosa said, floating off into a small portal.

(Azazels side quest will be done next post)

[Houston Keene]

"Just hold on a minute," Houston said, closing the portal with Creation Magic. His anger at the floozy Stella had awakened his Creation Magic ability, which was only used when Houston was really focused, "We aren't going anywhere. Not yet. Trust me on this. Caesar probably thinks we are dead, considering that we teleported to either point A, Gimnasio, or Point B, Brazil. There is also point C, which was Britain. He knows that in Britain, we are dead, and in Brazil, we are dead. Gimnasio, he knows, has high tech defenses. Unless he is playing us, he probably thinks we are dead. Now, if we go to Brazil, with all the cameras and newsteams, he will know for sure we are alive, and bomb the crap out of Brazil in an attempt to kill us. That would endanger innocent lives further."

Houston grabbed Centaur Rosa, and put her on the table.

"Sol, get Stella in here," Houston commanded. Sol opened up a portal, and Stella teleported onto the sofa.

"Alight Stella, LISTEN UP. You are NOT the most important person in the universe, and Caesar is NOT top priority right now. GET OVER IT. Also, get used to my castle, because we are going to be here for a while. Caesar thinks we are dead, since in his mind, there is a 66.6666% chance we are. The only people that know we are alive are my citizens and my staff, and they are under protocol 89B, where they act like the King is dead. Mourning ceremonies are being held all over Gimnasio to keep up the illusion. You, none of us, in fact, will not be leaving this castle. If you do, Caesar will become top priority, because he will be on my doorstep, and he won't hesitate in the slightest to kill you and steal your soul. Now, if you want to live, you will do exactly as I say, and not leave."

Houston turned to the whole group, "When we leave, which will be on the day the cameras get out of Brazil, we will travel to Brazil via portal. When we get there, we will find out the information we need, and leave. From there, we will travel to the U.S., to Los Angeles, California, to get disguises from my friend who works in costume design. We will then be issued fake passports and credentials by the CIA, who knows we are alive. From there, we will travel to Britain again, but under new aliases. For your protection, Sol will Awaken the auras of whoever has not been awakened, and teach them a simple fireball spell, so that we don't use specialty Magic unless we absolutely have to."

Houston turned back to Stella, his aura flaring a brilliant sparkling diamond like light, and with white hot fire circles forming under Stella, "And if you EVER call my planet, home, friends, or my RACE backwater, or any other sort of insult, I will not hesitate to incinerate you on the spot."
