Game Gunner Gossip

[Ren Nakamura]

Ren Nakamura had just finished brawling his new boss and had managed to defeat him with his currently limited cards. Ren sighed to himself in realif and smiled towards him. "Hey, what I tell ya?! We are the strongest team ever!" Dharak shouted out making Ren shoove him in a pocket. "You really have an ego problem" Ren commented, shaking his head, he would have to try and iron that out. Hydranoid though meanwhile, was just silent on Ren's shoulder. "Hey, Hydranoid, you good?" Ren asked as he looked at him. "Hm? Oh, yeah. I'm just thinking over what we need to work on and have more off." Hydranoid responded, he knew they needed far more cards and more strategies if they wanted to be anywhere close to how strong ren used to be.  "Yeah, we are still a long way off from where I used to be. Still a shame I couldn't keep Diablo at least.." Ren commented, he still missed Diablo, he wondered who he was, if he was still around, if his power was stripped. Hydranoid sighed, he knew no one could replace Diablo, corrupted or not they were teammates for a long time and that bond stays with you. "We will get him back one day, when we show how great we are without your old powers, Grimm will have no choice but to allow you some stuff back" Hydranoid said, hoping to make Ren feel a it better. "I kinda doubt that"

Vail

[Vail]

Vail walks out and nods with Ren. "You do have a long way to go. But only having four ability cards is very limiting. You do get discounts while working here. That said. We have an hour. The shop is closed now. What do you want to do?" Then Crobalt speaks.

"You can talk to little miss Alice Hallow. She is right over there. Locked inside." Vail looks and sighs annoyed. At least its Alice he thinks. She's been a repeat costumer.

Alice: "hello. . . Oh. Its you." She looks a little grumpy. "You've been avoiding me for long enough! How to do you intend on apologizing for that time you knocked me out?" Vail slides out of that conversation. Right off the bat. Not his problem. Crobalt starts to tease Ren a little before Abis drags him away.

[Ren Nakamura]

Ren nodded to Vail as he responded but before he could respond about what to do for the next hour, he saw Alice. He sighed and mentally screamed oh no to himself. "Look, I am sorry, okay? What I did was wrong, I was corrupted by mu own power I was born with and I did things I may forgive myself for. I have been stripped of everything I had by your brother and now beaten up near-daily by random people wanting revenge. I have nothing other than the new Bakugan and cards I have on me. All I can do is sorry, try and prove to you I have changed, and hope that is enough and one day, your brother may forgive me too." Ren responded to Alice, his voice a bit shaky, this was awkward for him and he was a bit scared.

"Hey, ren! I got an idea! Kiss her and go on a date!" Dharak called out, making Ren grab him and throw him towards Vail. "Now is NOT the time Dharak for your jokes!" Ren shouted as he threw him, he swore that the dragon was going to get him killed one day. "Sorry about him, he has no off button," Ren stated, some leftover bruising and not fully healed cuts now visible thanks to his hair moving out the way.

[Vail]

Vail Catches said bakugan and adds him to a box. He also adds Crobalt to the box. . . We all give our best wishes to Dharak. That said. Vail is watching to see if he needs to add more commands to the mind control. Just in case. He needs to protect a client/ employee. Knowing Alice tends to be more of a pushover by personality standards. He sits back, and just Relaxes. He looks at the box he put the bakugan in and decides. To just knock it down like a cat. Then he see's Alice lecture Ren about safety and avoiding fights. Even the revenge kind and just gets to healing him. Blushing uncontrollably because of Dharak's comment.

[Grimm(Admin)]

"You need to take better care of yourself. Despite your reality, your status is still on their level. Affiliated with SHIELD or not."

"My lady. He's turning red. Maybe that Dharaknoid's comment was accurate."

"Oberon. Control your. . . Oooooooooh. My lady. Let him take you out on a "Date." It would be a way for him to make it up to you personally."

"Guys no please. Stop."

Two Ventus Bakugan float up to Ren. "You know us as Titania and Oberon. "We wish to take that Dharaknoid's suggestion seriously. Worry not about the fees. You can bill everything to Grimm. When Alice is involved. He will literally pay for anything. Her collage is free thanks to him."

"Titania!" Vail actually chuckles. Looks like everyone deals with their own version of Crobalt.

[Ren Nakamura]

Ren was blushing from cheek to cheek from Dharak's comment and then Alice Bakugan's own comments. He wanted to resist the heal and heal on his own but he gave up on that. However, when he heard a comment about his status being on his level, he couldn't help but scoff. "Their level? Yeah right, I'm the pillar of destruction, too scared to use the only power Grimm left him in case he corrupted again and doesn't even have a pillar Bakugan. It doesn't take a genius to know that if I faced another pillar right now, I would be dead. They have fully evolved Bakugan that are their Pillar Bakugan. And all I have is two Base Bakugan that I have only known for about a month and 4 cards." Ren practically shouted, this wasn't the same guy that Alice had been attacked by all those months ago. This was the shell of a guy who was stressing themselves, mentally punishing themselves for what they did, knowing how close to death they are at ANY wrong move.

"Ren, you did it again" Hydranoid stated, knowing ren doesn't mean to have his little outbursts, but then again, meeting grimm's little sister is very stressful. "I know...sorry...forget what I said," Ren said, more quietly as he looked down the ground. Then there was the talk about actually doing the date. "I am pretty sure from what I have heard of Grimm, he'd kill Ren if he found out he took his sister on a date" Hydranoid commented, hoping something or someone would help his brawler get over this and fully move on. 

[Grimm(Admin)]

Hearing this, Alice shows on how similar she can be to her brother sometimes. She call's Grimm. "Gregory. I'm taking Ren into my care. I will contact Blaze later. You are not allowed to touch him, or hurt him. AND you cannot reverse this. I'm pulling the sister card and that favor you owe me. Thank you." Grimm attempts to protest. But "I don't care. My main job is to heal, and I see my next patient. Get over it." She hangs up on him. "And like that. You are under my watch. Now be honest with yourself. What do you want to do. Now that you have more freedom?"

"Lady Alice. Kind as always. That's why we partnered with her."

"Lady Alice has such a beautiful heart."

[Ren Nakamura]

Ren falls silent for a bit, thinking it over hard and carefully. "I-...I want to become powerful again. But not corrupt with power, be the one in control, I want to be confident again, I want my original partner back, he could teach Hydranoid and Dharak a lot. I want to show there is another way to destruction than Gaia's way. And most of all, I don't ever want to see Gaia use destruction or be in my head ever again. I want to be the me I should have been without the corruption. But even trying to be confident, fully knowing everything you did and everyone you hurt...is hard." Ren responded with a sigh, he had a big dream, but a part of him was telling him, he wouldn't achieve all that, not for years anyway.

"Ren, don't forget I am here for you. I will protect you until the end, no matter what you did in the past. The past is over, this is the future, and we write how it goes." Hydranoid stated, hoping it would help his brawler. He didn't like Ren like this. He wished he could see that confidence he pretends to have in public for real.

[Grimm(Admin)]

"Good. Also since you are under me. You will also be getting paid from me. Work at here hard now. I like cake, and soup." She finished healing up Ren. There isn't even a scar left on his body. Well recent scars. Vail lets her out. The guy clearly smells business opportunity.

Vail: "Ren. Good business is good business. Maintain that." He walks to the back. While silent. The now upside down box is shaking. Dharaknoid was unable to stop Crobalt from chatting.

[Ren Nakamura]

Ren just simply nodded to Vail when he spoke. Once Vail had gone to the back Ren sat in his spot he liked to stay during work times. He has a little cry to himself, he normally wouldn't allow himself, but he felt this once wouldn't hurt. "You guys are nicer than I likely deserve, thank you...All of you..." Ren thought aloud out quietly to himself. He then wiped his tears away after a while and got back to what he should be doing right now. He had a job now, after all, and can't afford to lose it. "Now the question is, how long until Grimm comes to see me himself," Ren thought aloud again, shivering a bit, not liking that idea. "Hopefully not any month soon, but Gregory, huh..what a name"

[Vail]

Vail then calls out. "REN! We got stock in!"

He gets the box cutter out. Then Crobalt speaks before Ren can get in ear shot. "For someone who appears silent and cruel. Your kindness shines like that Alice girl." Vail smirks. "And this is why we are partners."

(Sorry this one is short.)

[Ren Nakamura]

"Hm? Coming!" Ren called out, making sure Dharak could eventually come out, he still needed that idiot after all. He headed over to the back and walked over to Vail. "So then, I think we both know that I will need to start using my power, one day I will have to use it, and when that comes, I need to wield it with 100% accuracy. So to train me with this power, how long do you think it will take? Cause I figure, that considering all this help I am getting, it is time to try and stop being scared of getting corrupted again. If that will work is another thing, but I guess, for now, baby steps." Ren said aloud, with a small smile. He felt a little better and knowing the pillar of chaos can't hurt you was a big weight off the shoulders.


"Hey don't forget getting me stronger and getting us more cards! I want to show everyone you don't need your psy to create a super strong partner!" Hydranoid stated, wings out, chest forward, trying to look strong. Ren chuckled and patted Hydranoid on the head. "Cheers buddy"


Meanwhile over in a box, Dharak was getting fed up of the box and so had began hitting the box. "HEYYYYY! LET MEEEE OUUUUTT! I'M CLAUSTROPHOBIC!" He shouted out, he didn't like the box, the box scared him. "REEEEN! I'M SORRY! I WON'T JOKE AGAIN! JUST PLEASE LET ME OUUUT!" After multiple shouts and nothing the poor Dharak lays down in the box, bunched up, waiting for light to graise his presence.
