Hey peoples!!! This is my one-shot for Masquerade… hope I did well T~T.. as mentioned, this is dedicated to CloneGirl, my friend, Lady Avotil, and Inesidora, from DA ^-^ ENJOY!!!...maybe.....i did this in school... since i have nothing to do...and a certain teacher caught me (*cough* Ramie Perez Donesa *cough*)...then my friend said i should try to write stories (*cough*Lady Avotil*cough*) sooo, i gave it a try!...BTW the flashback is in that 1 episode....

Disclaimer: I, -Bakugan and Dissidia-, the one who loves Masquerade, Bakugan, and Dissidia, obviously, does not own Bakugan.... if i did Masquerade would NEVER had faded away.... although i have high hopes for season 3... i heard they're bringing Alice, Runo and Julie back...... which means there's a chance they'll bring Masquerade back ^-^...OK enough ranting... ONTO THE STORY!!!

He didn't care what kids all around the world thought about him. He didn't care about the Bakugan he sent to the Doom Dimension. He didn't care that two dimensions were going to end because of him. And he most certainly did not care that he had to share a body with a girl, and cause so much pain to the mentioned girl.

All he cared about was serving a power-crazy Dragon/Bakugan that was bent on destroying/taking over two parallel dimensions….

…. All was that until, of course, he kept his mortal enemy from being killed in Vestroia.

His decision, that one decision, changed the fate of two dimensions, whether anyone knew it or not. He must be forgiven for what he did in the past, because, without him, there wouldn't be a New Vestroia or Earth by now.

Before that, though, he was the ranked number 1 brawler, with an unbeatable winning streak. He was like the king of his own little world, a king that didn't care what his people thought about him.

When he helped his mortal enemy, the mentioned enemy offered him the chance to join their little group, to save their's and the Bakugan's world. At first he looked at his hand seriously, but he gladly accepted the offer.

~Flashback Moment~

"I already explained to you, that is not my destiny." he said

"NO!!!," a voice in his head said.

He was suddenly in a meadow with a huge tree in the background, face-to-face with Alice.

"Don't go!, We still need your help Masquerade!," Alice said, the voice…

He paused for a moment, but then he responded,

" I cannot help you, that destiny is yours alone."

"No, I can't!, not all by myself. It's just, I've only begun to learn about Bakugan!, and I feel so inexperienced!, it all just seems too much for me..." Alice said, full of worry and doubt.

There was another pause, then Masquerade said,

"You will be fine. I know you can do it!"

"But, how??" Alice asked, dumbfounded.

"Don't you know?. It's because I am you Alice!" Masquerade said, while walking over to Alice, and opening his hand to reveal his Alpha Hydranoid.

"But, Masquerade...." Alice said, worry clear in her eyes.

Masquerade found himself suddenly in Vestroia again, Dan's hand outstretched in front of him.

He thought it over for a bit, but he took and shook Dan's hand.

"And this, is our final farewell, Dan." Masquerade said, slowly.

"Masquerade…" Dan said, dumbfounded.

"I'm glad, that my last battle, was with you, Dan." Masquerade said, like before, slowly. After he said that, he slowly took off his mask.

He was there in that meadow again, Alice still dumbfounded.

Then, he slowly started to fade away, leaving behind faint glitters into the never-ending meadow that is Alice's mind.

"No, Masquerade!, wait!" Alice said, worry clear in her voice.

As he was fading away, a small smile is present on his face. Then, he completely faded, leaving behind no trace that he existed.

~Flashback End~

~Months later, nighttime, in Alice's house~

'I still can't believe that after all he did, he still left me like that.' Alice thought, before going to sleep.

~Meanwhile, very, very, deep in Alice's subconscious~

"Did you really think that I would leave you?... Heh, I think not." Masquerade said out loud, then he silently chuckled to himself…
