Bakugan New Vestroia: Mira in New Vestroia (a Bakugan Fanfic)

Chapter 3: Baron Leltoy

Baron steps out of his house, a cozy abode that's always bustling with the energy of his siblings. The sun's rays bathe the streets in a warm glow as Baron makes his way through the vibrant Vestal City. His family home is located in a lively neighborhood, filled with various shops, people, and the occasional Bakugan battle in the open lots.

Baron walks with a purpose, a backpack slung over his shoulder, prepared to collect the groceries his family needs. He's dressed in casual attire, comfortable and practical for running errands. He's a familiar face in the neighborhood, exchanging greetings and friendly waves with the locals as he passes by. The jovial atmosphere of the area brings a smile to his face as he navigates through the familiar streets.

As he approaches the market, Baron notices the various stalls and vendors showcasing their goods, the colorful array of fresh produce catching his eye. He carefully selects the ripest fruits and vegetables, chatting amicably with the vendors as he makes his purchases. His friendly demeanor and warm personality make him a well-liked figure among the local merchants.

Baron's mind is filled with thoughts of his family, his siblings, and the upcoming meal he plans to help prepare. His role in the family is not just as a caretaker, but also as a mentor and friend to his younger brothers and sisters. He juggles the responsibility of grocery shopping with ease, thinking ahead about the delicious dishes his family will enjoy.

He finishes his shopping, bidding farewell to the vendors with a cheerful grin. With the grocery bag slung over his shoulder, Baron heads back home, ready to assist in the household chores and eagerly anticipating the joyful chaos of his family.

As he makes his way back home, he hears two voices, a male and a female one, he turned the streets towards the voices, looking for the ones who called him.

As Baron heard the voices, he instinctively turned toward them, scanning the streets in search of the source. "Hello? Who's there?" he called out, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

To his surprise, he found two Bakugan spheres lying on the ground, white with intricate golden details. His curiosity piqued, Baron approached them cautiously, picking up the orbs. Almost immediately, both spheres sprung open by themselves, causing Baron to nearly drop them in shock.

The first Bakugan, resembling a miniature priest with a staff, fixed its gaze on Baron. "Hello, young Vestal. We need your help," the male Bakugan spoke in a calm, yet urgent tone.

Beside him, the second Bakugan had a humanoid tiger-like appearance, speaking up with a more hesitant and guarded demeanor. "Nemus, we can't trust this Vestal. They're part of those who invaded our home planet and enslaved our people," the female Bakugan, Tigrerra, interjected, her voice tinged with doubt and caution.

However, Nemus, the priest-like Bakugan, countered her skepticism. "Tigrerra, hiding won't keep us safe forever. I can sense goodness in this young one's heart. He can help us," Nemus asserted, his voice exuding a sense of trust and hope.

Baron was taken aback by the revelation that these Bakugan could speak. Fear and shock coursed through him, yet a curious fascination also welled up within him.

"You... you can talk?" Baron stammered, his eyes wide with amazement. "My name is Baron. It's an honor to meet both of you, Nemus and Tigrerra," he said respectfully, bowing slightly as he regarded the two Bakugan.

Nemus nodded in acknowledgement. "The pleasure is ours, Baron," he replied warmly. On the other hand, Tigrerra seemed more reserved, her expression revealing her uncertainty and distrust.

"I am Blade Tigrerra, one of the seven Bakugan who played a role in saving and rebuilding New Vestroia from its fractured state," Tigrerra explained, her gaze meeting Baron's with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "But now, due to the circumstances, we can only take our true forms during these Bakugan battles."
