Dan Kuso groans as he comes to and immediately wonders how he manages to get into situations like this all the time. Even during the three year interval from twelve to fifteen he was still helping to save the world, only at that time he had been helping Tsukino Serena, Sailor Moon and a top notch Haos brawler to fight her enemies. He had decided to swing by Juuban and see if Serena was free to come with him on his adventures as he was just going where the currents took him. She was the only one that he had kept in contact with religiously as she'd given him a communicator for those just in case instances or if there was a significant amount of distance between them.

Straining his ears he could just make out Nagebaroshi He playing in the background, one of the hits of the Three Lights. He only knew their music because of Serena. She had ended up being friends with them, close friends with Kou Seiya. Had he been around at the time he would have met Seiya but he had been helping to save New Vestroia at the time. The eighteen year old Pyrus Brawler was almost cursing himself for letting himself be caught off guard. At least Drago was still with him, as he could still sense his partner Bakugan.

Just then an unusual scent hits his nose, one he had intimate knowledge of. Serena's personal scent choice lilac, sweet pea, lavender, and peppermint. Serena was the only person he knew of that wore that particular blend of scents. Re, you with me?

Yeah, I'm here, barely. Hate to tell you this but you came upon the scouts and my parents trying to kill me. Thankfully you didn't use Drago as they know nothing of Bakugan. I just don't know how the hell we're getting out of this one.

Can you reach Shun?

Sorry, Danny, no can do, he's too far out of my range unless he starts meditating soon, but I have to be very careful as Sailor Mars can sense stuff like that. With us it's different and you know it.

Dan sighs silently at this point, hating that she was right about that. They just had to find a way out, they couldn't even open the field as Sailor Pluto would sense the time stoppage. This meant that they had to use mortal ingenuity to get out of this particular problem, Re, what's your condition?

The lengthy pause told him all he needed to know, she was in bad but not, at the moment, life threatening condition. Re, you'll let me know when I can work on getting out of my ropes, right?

Cameras, Danny, they're watching all the time.

Dan starts an internal swearing rant at this news, how the hell were they supposed to…Drago, can you take me, Serena, yourself, and Lunara to New Vestroia?

Drago remains silent as he reflects on Dan's question, Will Sailor Pluto be able to track me?

No, I've blinded her to New Vestroia, Vestal, Gundalia, and Neathia, as I had to be sure I had somewhere I could retreat to if necessary. Serena answers the fusion dragonoid.

Will she be able to sense me opening the portal?

At this question Serena has to stop and think, No precedent for this, as Plutonians never worked with Bakugan.

Well, that's just fantastic. This is the only shot we have, go for it, Drago. We'll just have to hope that we're long gone before they come in to investigate. Re, do the communicators you designed work just like a cell phone as well?

They do, Danny, so you can call Shun or maybe your parents. Serena answers.

Outside Dan and Serena's prison:

" I can't believe she actually had somebody that was willing to step in an help her. " this is said by a blonde with her hair held back by a red ribbon by the name of Aino Minako, preferred name being Mina.

" Oh, I know, how did she manage to land a hottie like that? " this is said by a teen with raven hair ending just above her rear, her name is Hino Rei, the miko for the Hikawa Shrine.

" We still have to decide what to do with him, something tells me he has people who would actually miss him and would come looking if he were to disappear without a trace. " This statement of fact is said by a teen with short blue hair by the name of Mizuno Ami.

The others all agree with this assessment of the bluenette genius, it would do them no good to have his friends and family come looking, or file a missing persons report if he failed to check in at a specific time. They could get rid of their pathetic princess though. Only two of the senshi were not party to this mutiny, Kino Makoto, Lita as she preferred, and Tomoe Hotaru, they would have been fighting them with their princess had they known what they were up to.

Back in the Room:

Both Dan and Serena pause when they can hear a window slide open, and then the muffled exclamations of surprise, " Hime, what the hell happened? "

Family and others turned on me, Hota-chan. Serena responds to her Death Senshi.

Once their binds have been removed Drago has managed to get up enough power to transport them to New Vestroia. Hotaru and Lita both look around in awe while Lunara pops up onto Serena's shoulder, " Where are we? " Lita asks.

" This is New Vestroia and I'm Kuso Dan. "

" Kino Lita and the dark haired girl is Tomoe Hotaru. "

New Vestroia is the home of Bakugan like Dan's partner Pyrus Fusion Dragonoid and mine, Haos Lumineer Lunara. Lunara is on my right shoulder, currently. Serena expands upon Dan's answer.

Hotaru whips around to face Serena and extends her powers towards her and the Saturnian Oaths start flying at an alarming rate, " Hotaru, what's wrong? " Lita asks her.

" Unless a serious miracle occurs the hime will never speak again, even with her accelerated healing. I seriously don't know how, unless Mars wanted her unable to speak. "

Lita's eyes widen and she starts cursing in Jovian, " Her throat has been burned to the point she can't speak but can she still eat and drink? "

Dan's Japanese oaths join the Jovian ones still being muttered after Lita had made that statement. Re, why didn't you say anything?

Serena sighs at this question of Dan's, I couldn't, I needed you to stay calm, Danny.

" Drago, is there any way you could help her out? "

" I don't think so, Dan, maybe Vestal will have the tech required to help her out. " Drago says.

" True, but I should call Shun to let him know what's going on. " Dan says.

Dan pulls out the communicator Serena had given him and dials up Shun Kasami, " Dan, why did you duck out on your own party? " Shun demands.

" Later, Shun, right now I'm in New Vestroia with Serena and a few of her friends. I can't say more right now but I'll probably be heading for Vestal with them soon enough. " Dan says.

" Why Vestal? "

" Join us there and you can find out, Shun, I won't say unless we're face to face. " Dan says.

Battle Tower:

Shun frowns at Dan's tone, he only took that tone when the danger was directed towards Serena. " I'll be there, Dan, just me, if we need to bring the others in then we can. Should have known you were going to head to Serena when you skipped out. "

" How will you get here? Or even to Vestal? "

" Klaus, of course. " Shun retorts.

Both Dan and Shun knew that Klaus would use discretion in this matter. That was there only choice, as Shun wanted to know what the hell was going on and he would find out. Once Dan's hung up Shun gathers his stuff up for a short trip to Vestal and places the call to Klaus Von Hertzon. Klaus agrees to transport him to Vestal and Drago ends up taking his passengers to Klaus' home as well. Baron Leltoy, the Resistance's Haos Brawler now fifteen is heading towards Klaus' when he sees the light of Drago's transportation ability.

" Baron, did you see that? " Nemus asks his partner.

" I did, Master Dan is here. " Baron says and speeds up.

Earth, Where Dan and Serena were kept prisoner:

" Shimatta, how did they escape without us seeing or hearing them! " this is said by a young woman with dusty blonde hair by the name of Tenou Haruka.

No one had an answer for her, though had they known about whom Dan really was they might not be so surprised by the fact that he and their hime escaped. If they had followed Bakugan Brawling then they would have known exactly who Dan happened to be and they might have even know that their hime brawled under the name Kuso Serena. Dan had given her permission to use his last name after talking with his parents about it.
