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

Chapter 23: Separated We Fall part 1

Villains' Thoughts and Reunion at the Mother Palace

---

Setting: Mother Palace, Vestal
The grand throne room of the Mother Palace is dimly lit, a stark contrast to the grandeur it once represented. Zenoheld sits on his high-tech throne, the remains of Farbros visible on a massive monitor. The Vexos-Lync, Shadow, Mylene, Volt, and Gus-stand in a tense line before him, each processing their failure differently. The atmosphere is thick with frustration, fear, and determination.

Zenoheld's Thoughts

Zenoheld is livid but composed, already calculating his next move.

"Those meddlesome Brawlers... they've become a greater nuisance than I anticipated. But no matter-their victory was temporary. Farbros may have retreated, but it's far from defeated."

He reflects on the surprising coordination between the Earth Brawlers and Resistance, realizing they're a more significant threat together.

His pride stings; he underestimated their strength. However, he takes solace in the fact that he forced them to struggle.

Determined to retaliate, Zenoheld starts devising a more aggressive plan, possibly involving advanced technology or an upgraded Farbros.

Vexos' Thoughts

1. Lync:

Frustrated but hiding it behind his usual bravado.

"We had them! If it weren't for that last-minute reinforcement... Ugh, I won't let this happen again."

Secretly worried about Zenoheld's wrath, Lync is already thinking about how to redeem himself.

2. Shadow:

Less bothered by the loss, seeing it as an opportunity for chaos.

"They were tougher than I thought. But the bigger they are, the harder they'll fall next time!"

Shadow relishes the idea of a more destructive rematch.

3. Mylene:

Furious and bitter about the failure, she blames everyone but herself.

"Incompetent fools. If they hadn't intervened, I could've handled this myself."

Mylene begins plotting ways to take more control in future missions, possibly undermining others.

4. Volt:

Quietly reflective, but his loyalty to Zenoheld keeps him steady.

"This was a setback, but we'll bounce back. Zenoheld always has a plan."

Determined to improve, Volt focuses on honing his own skills.

5. Gus's Thoughts

Gus is a loyal and disciplined member of the Vexos, fully committed to Zenoheld's ambitions. Despite the failure, his focus is on how to improve their strategies and learn from the Brawlers' strength.

"The Brawlers are formidable opponents, but they are not invincible. If we analyze their teamwork and tactics, we can dismantle their unity piece by piece."

Gus is pragmatic, seeing the defeat as a temporary setback. He respects Zenoheld's vision and intends to prove his worth through action rather than excuses.

********

Zenoheld stands imposingly on his throne, his piercing gaze sweeping over the Vexos.

Zenoheld: "You were given the finest resources, the might of Farbros, and a fleet capable of destroying nations. Yet you return to me in failure. Explain yourselves."
