A note from the author: this is meant as a fifth series of bakugan.

Dan Kuso, now a healthy young man of twenty two looked down at his bakugan, the recently evolved Pyrus Blaze Dragonoid. It had been a long five years of temporary exile and training but Dan had decided that it was time to return to bayview.

Dan looked down at the small speedboat that had taken him to the island that he had lived on for the past five years, smiled and thought of his mother and his friends. Shun the ninja warrior and Marucho the technical genius, he longed to be back where he belonged, the city of bayview, the city now known as Bakugan city.

"Are you alright Daniel?" Drago asked in his wise voice. Dan looked as Drago hopped onto his shoulder and said,

"I'm fine Drago, Just nervous for the journey back." Drago nodded and said,

"The others will be happy to see you again, especially your mother." Dan smiled and jumped into the boat saying,

"Well what are we waiting for, let's go back to bakugan city."

Meanwhile, Grand Bakugan master Shun sat, cross legged in front of his students. Not only was Shun a ninja warrior but he was also the teacher of many young brawlers.

"Make sure that when you attack your opponent, you always have a plan B." He said calmly,

"Yes master Shun." Said all of the students in unison and Shun beated a small hammer on a gong,

"Class dismissed." Everyone left as a short, blonde haired man came running in. It was Marucho who was now a young businessman and mayor of Bakugan city. Shun looked up at Marucho and said,

"What is it now, Phoenixia and I were meditating." He gestured to the Bakugan on his shoulder who said in a serene female voice,

"Let the man speak Shun." Marucho smiled and said,

"Well, I just got something in from the coastal services saying that a small speedboat has been spotted off the coast."

"And?" Shun asked lazily

"Dan was the one in the boat!" Shun leapt up at this almost making Phoenixia fall off of his shoulder and the two men ran out of the dojo and to the docks.

Dan tied his boat to the metal stump protruding from the ground and climbed out. It had been a long five years but now he was back in bayview. Two men were waiting for him and, even though they looked different, Dan could recognise them as Shun and Marucho. A third, slightly shorter man stood apart from them, trying not to be seen.

Dan pulled Marucho into a tight bro-hug and fist bumped Shun. Shun smiled at Dan and said,

"Man it's great to see you." Dan said,

"It's great to see you, let's go to the town hall to celebrate the return of me." Marucho agreed and began leading Dan and Shun towards the city centre when the third man stepped forward and said,

"I'm looking for a man named Dan Kuso, are any of you knowledgeable of his wearabouts?" Shun looked over at the man who looked dead on twenty and said,

"This here is Dan Kuso, but who exactly are you?"

"My name is Daniel, Daniel Star." He explained,

"But my friends call me Darkstar." Dan looked over at Darkstar and asked,

"Why exactly are you here?" Darkstar looked at Dan and said,

"Can we go somewhere a bit more private please?" Dan nodded and Shun said,

"We'll take you to my dojo." And the four men walked towards the dojo.

Darkstar sat cross legged in front of the other three and said,

"This may seem strange but I am not from this world." Dan looked at Darkstar with a look of suspicion,

"My planet, Galacticus, is part of the 'Hexagon of Bakugan wielding planets' it is an organisation including these planets: Earth, New Vestroia, Vestal, Neathia, Gundalia and Galacticus." Marucho looked at Darkstar intently as he carried on his story,

"No sooner than my planet had joined the pentagon of planets, making it a hexagon of planets, we were invaded just a week after joining, invaded by a race of beings known as the Kraytons." Dan looked at Darkstar with interest and wondered where he was going with this,

"Their Emperor, Emperor Zarthax, wants to take over all the planets in the hexagon and rule over them all." Darkstar finished his story and Dan said,

"So what do you want us to do, if you want us to fight with you we need three more brawlers." Darkstar winked and said,

"I kind of had this covered, I spoke with three brawlers from Shuns class earlier today, after I overheard that Dan was returning, I asked them to come here at 11:05 AM which is five minutes from now actually." Dan gaped at the door as three teenagers entered. A sixteen year old boy stood to one side, a seventeen year old girl stood in the middle and a seventeen year old boy stood to the other side. Shun recognised them as: Jake Celeste, Misty Starbright and Zayne Smyth. Each of them greeted Darkstar and sat down in front of the three brawlers. Darkstar leaned against the wall as the three trainee brawlers talked to the three men.

Three Bakugan rested on the shoulders of their teenage masters. These three Bakugan were, Subterra RockWolf, Haos StarLord and Darkus Razordon. Darkstar fiddled with something in the corner as they spoke and didn't pay much attention. Dan stood up and walked over to a cupboard, inside were three Bakupods, one Subterra, one Haos and one Darkus, and handed them to the new brawlers. Dan noticed some sort of gauntlet on Darkstars right arm and asked,

"What is that?" Darkstar looked down and said,

"It's my gauntlet, the galacticans use them to brawl with, I can get you guys some if you want, when we get to Galacticus." Dan nodded and said

"Alright then let's get back to Galacticus." And everyone stood up and walked from the dojo.
