I had returned to the Bakugan reality, along with Tom. From a previous Reality, we had made our Gauntlets, but as far as I know, only I made it to New Vestroia. Leonidas and Drago separated from the core, and had us come with them. Now, it looks like it's me, Dan and Marucho in New Vestroia.

Powers beyond reality,

Brought about by few.

Crossing time and space,

Changing the race.

Creating a whole new world.

The time to combine is now,

The time to recreate is upon.

The time now to find the power

To regain your lost time.

"We should leave before they come back with reinforcements." Said Mira. Then she grabbed her helmet. "Well, climb on."

Both Dan and Marucho said "Huh?" and looked at each other. Then they looked back at Mira.

"Yeah, as if. With the way you drive."

"Oh well, if you're scared, then you just walk. Well?"

"I don't know about you two, but walking doesn't seem very practical." I said. I then climbed onto the bike.

"Intriguing." Said Prince Hydron. "So, you're sure you found the last of the seven fighting Bakugan?"

"Yes." Said Spectra. "It seems that they have joined forces with the Bakugan battle brawlers resistance."

"That's good. I'd hate to take him down without a fight." Said Prince Hydron. Then he typed on his chair arm. The wall behind him opened. "Crush the resistance and being me the dragonoids." He then got up, and looked at the statues behind him. "I want to complete my collection." He laughed a little.

"Have no fear, Julie's here to take your order." Said Julie at Runo's family restaurant.

"How about an orange soda?" Asked someone.

"No, take my order first, Julie." Said another.

"Don't fight guys. I'll get to all of you!" She said while roller skating. She stopped at one of the tables.

"Stop playing around and take some orders!" Said Runo.

"Unlike some people, I know how to have fun and work at the same time." Replied Julie.

Runo screamed "I know how to have fun!"

"Oh yeah, you're a laugh riot." Replied Julie. Runo then get so angry that she scared most of the customers away.

"I'll fight anyone who says I'm not fun!"

Then, later that night, Runo was thanking the last customer.

"Thank you for coming. Sorry about the bruises." She sighed.

"Is it safe to come out yet?" Asked Julie. Runo looked at her. "Hey look. I just got a new postcard from Billy!"

"Really? How's he doing?"

"He's travelling the world to learn from the greatest athletes he can find. He's in spain right now!" She then began to imagine how he was at bull fighting. On the other side of the world, Billy was just starting.

"Ole!" He said. Then he was run over by a bull, his sword sent flying.

"I bet he's a great bull fighter." She said as he was run over by five more bulls.

"Awesome? Right." Said Runo.

"Oh, right. You haven't heard from Dan lately, have you?"

"Who cares about Dan?" Asked Runo. Julie looked at her. "If he wants to ditch us and go off with Drago, that's fine by me." Then she frowned a little. "Just be careful, Dan." She said.

"Don't worry. He has Atom with him! They'll be safe, I know it."

"Yeah, you're right."

Dan sneezed. "If you're going to sneeze, please don't do it on my jacket."

"Actually." Said Marucho. "It's all over both of us." I was riding behind Marucho.

Dan laughed. "Sorry guys!"

"We're fine." I said.

"Hey Mira, aren't you a vestal just like those Lync and Volt dudes?" Asked Dan

"I may be a vestal, but I'm not like them."

"Oh, so is that why you lead the Bakugan Battle Brawler Resistance?"

"Of course. She is trying to free the Bakugan. Right?"

"Right again, Atom. Sort of. It's kind of a long story, but I guess it's important for you to know exactly what happened." Then she began to tell the story. "You might not believe it, but one day, Bakugan Cards fell from the sky, as if by magic. And from them came the Bakugan themselves."

"The same thing happened in our world." Said Dan

"Yes, when Dr. Michael's Dimensional Transporter malfunctioned, it created a rift."

"Looks like you were connected to Vestroia just like we were."

"But I'm guessing you didn't have to worry about your world and Vestroia combining."

"Nope, but our planet was overpopulated. So, when our king discovered New Vestroia, he conquered it and colonized it with our overflowing population. Once the invasion was over, we build Bakugan battle arenas in our cities. We were eager to play with our powerful new 'pets'. Everyone went crazy for the thrilling Bakugan battles. Tickets sold like wildfire. You couldn't get one now if you tried.

"Hmph." Said Drago.

"You treat us like circus animals." Agreed Leonidas.

"Yes. The Bakugan were living in peace when you vestals attacked. Now they're enslaved and forced to battle for the amusement of the vestal people." Continued Drago

"How could you be so cruel?" Asked Leonidas.

"They didn't know." I countered.

"Yeah, the people haven't been told that the Bakugan are intelligent creatures." Said Mira

"So your people think the Bakugan are like pets who do tricks for them?" Asked Dan.

"Yes, and so did I until the day I discovered the Truth." Then she went into a flashback.

She drove up to a doorway. Two guards were there. "You wouldn't want to keep me out, would you?" Asked Mira. The two guards gasped.

"You're Professor Clay's daughter!" Said one. "Sorry Ma'am."

"Hold on. I'll get professor clay on the line." Said the other.

"Please don't. I want to surprise him." Said Mira. "That's ok, right?" She asked with a wink.

"Fine by us." Said one.

"She's so cool." Said the other. Mira was soon inside. She was then lead by a worker. The entire place shook suddenly.

"What was that?" Asked Mira. She then saw massive amounts of lightning in front of her. She then ran forward.

"Mira, wait!" Said her guide. Mira ran until she was at glass, then looked down. Before her was Hydranoid.

"Father, what are you doing?" She asked herself. Then her guide came up to her.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave." He said. "Come on, this way." He grabbed her arm, but she got free. "Hey!" Mira began to run around the glass. She saw Hydranoid in pain. Her father was running up to two workers at the controls.

"Can't you keep him quiet?" He asked. More lightning began to form.

"Do your worst, destroyer!" Said Hydranoid. "We will never give in!"

"That Bakugan!" Said Mira. "It spoke!" Then, her flashback went to her house.

"It's not right father. You said we were colonizing an uninhabited world, but that's not true! We're the invaders, aren't we?" Her father was silent. "Well, aren't you going to say something?" She asked.

"This is not your concern, Mira." Said her father flatly.

"Father!" She said as he walked away.

"My father didn't even care, but I did. I was alone, but someone needed to help the Bakugan."

"If I had still been in this reality, I would've helped."

"Well, you weren't. So, I got together with people who felt the same way I did. We started the Bakugan Brawler Resistance, and we've been fighting to free your Bakugan friends ever since. But the Vexos Champions are strong. Volt Luster is their top Haos Brawler."

"He won't hold a light to us!" Said Leonidas.

"Gus Grav is a weasel, but a powerful Subterra Brawler. Mylene Farrow is the leading Aquos Brawler She's devious."

"If Tom was here, she wouldn't stand a chance!" I said.

"You've already met Lync Volcan. The top Ventus Brawler. He'll do anything to win. Shadow Prove is the top Darkus Brawler. He's brutal and Cruel. And the most deadly of all, Spectra Phantom. Number one Pyrus Brawler. The six vexos are champions of all six Bakugan Attributes. They're stronger than us."

"It must be hard to fight your own people." Said Dan.

"I'm glad to hear that here is honor among some of the vestals." Said Drago.

"That means alot, coming from you." Said Mira. "We're almost there."

"I'll walk the rest of the way." I said.

"Why?" Asked Marucho.

"I want to know what has happened to Leo while I was gone."

"Sure Thing." Said Mira. She stopped, and I got off. Then, she sped off again.

"Let me guess, it wasn't to catch up with me?"

"Not entirely, no. We're going to need Tom for this." I replied. Then, I opened a gate with the attribute wheel on my hand, and stepped through.

"Straight ahead." Said Mira.

"Whoa!" Exclaimed Dan. "So Cool!" Ahead of them was the trailer.

"Welcome back!" Said Baron. Mira then pulled up close. "Look out!" He yelped. Then he fell over as Mira came to a stop.

"Hello Baron." Said Mira. Baron had stars in his eyes. "Let me introduce you to our guests." She continued. Baron jumped up so fast that he caused a small dust cloud.

"The Masters!" He said.

"Masters?" Asked Dan.

"I think he fell on his head." Agreed Marucho.

"I know exactly who you are!" Said Baron. "Dan Kuso and Marucho Marukura! Bakugan Brawling Masters!" He took a step back. "I'm Baron. At your service."

Dan laughed a little. "Uh, hi, Baron."

"Pleased to meet you I think." They reached for a handshake. Baron began to shake so hard he was moving them up and down.

"The pleasure is all mine!" He shouted. Then, he stopped and Dan and Marucho fell to the ground. Drago was floating.

"I've never seen anyone so happy." He said.

Baron jumped onto Dan and Marucho's backs. "And you must be Master Drago!" Baron slowly looked down.

"Yep, that's me." Drago said. Then Baron realised what he was standing on. He jumped off.

"I can't believe I embarrassed myself in front of one of the greatest Bakugan in the universe!"

"You'll have to excuse Baron." Said Mira. "He knows all about how you guys saved Vestroia and created New Vestroia. He even has a poster of you all on his bedroom wall."

"Sorry about that. I guess I got carried away." Apologised Baron

"Does that include us?" I asked.

"Wait? It that who I think it is?" Asked Baron. He turned around, and saw me and Tom behind him.

"Hey Atom." Said Dan. "Let me guess, you went to find Tom on Earth?"

"Yep. We're going to need him." Then Baron ran up to us.

"You must be Atom! The Reality Shifter with the ability to change his attribute!" Then he looked at Tom. "And you're Tom, one of Atom's best friends! I'm so excited!"

"Relax, Baron. You'll have a lot of time to get to know us, but right now, I think Ace has something to say."

"Wait, where is Ace?" Asked Mira.

"Up here." He called.

"Ace!" Yelled Mira.

"So sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your bragging."

"What's your problem?" Asked Dan.

"Get it together, Ace. We've got company."

"Yeah, smarten up!" Said Baron. "Do you have any idea who these people are?"

"And they can go back where they came from. We don't need their help to free the Bakugan, we can do it ourselves!"

"Ace." Argued Mira.

"You disappoint me, Mira. I thought that you were a true vestal warrior. That you were going to make a difference. Now you invite a couple of Earth Dweebs to join the resistance? You're just a star struck fangirl."

"And what's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Watch it!" Said Dan. "We won't walk away if the Bakugan need our help!"

"Well said." Said Ace. "Too bad we don't need your help to free the captured Bakugan! This is none of your business so take your friends and go home!"

"To free the Bakugan, we need all the help we can get." Argued Mira. "We don't have time for one of your ego trips!"

"He does have a lot of those." I said.

"Just humor me." Said Ace. "The humans should prove themselves. What do you say, Masters?"

"Come on!" Said Dan after Ace revealed Percival.

"Beat Percival, and you can join the Bakugan battle brawler resistance!"

"Drago, what do you say?"

"I'm in. We must save the Bakugan."

"Atom, what about you?" Asked Dan. I simply smiled. Then I looked at Ace.

"And why should we prove ourselves?" I asked.

"What?" Asked Ace.

"Just hear me out. If you tell us we cannot join, then you lose. With us, you have a chance. They will have many traps and tricks, and you will need more people than you have to be able to deal with it."

"Sure. You say that. But, I still don't believe that he will help us." Said Ace, pointing at Dan.

"Ok, Ace. We'll take you on!" Yelled Dan.

In a windy area, Dan and Ace were ready. "Why are those two fighting each other?" Asked Baron. "They're on the same side!"

"I guess they just have to get it out of their system." Replied Mira.

"Yeah, before they destroy each other!" Said Wilda.

"Now, remember this, Dan. When the resistance is battling the Vexos, we're not just playing childish games. We're fighting to free the Bakugan! In order to get the stolen Bakugan back, our power level needs to be at least 500 more than theirs."

"So that's why those Bakugan returned to me when we beat them!" Said Dan.

"So, if I win, I take your Drago. Agreed?"

"That's fine by me as long as I get your Percival when I win!" Agreed Dan. "Are you scared?"

"Dream on, there's no way that's going to happen." They then activate their Gauntlets.

Gauntlet Activated

"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" They both yelled.

"Gate Card, Set!" Shouted Ace. "Now, let's see what you got, oh great master!"

"Just don't say I didn't warn you!"

"You ready?"

"Always!" Agreed Dan.

"Bakugan, brawl!" They both said. The two Bakugan collided in the center. "Bakugan, Stand!" They both spun, and their tornados battled. Soon, Drago's was defeated, and he was thrown backwards.

"Drago!" Shouted Dan.

"Lucky Shot." Said Drago. Then Percival stopped spinning.

"This isn't going to be much of a contest. Look how high my power level is already." The two Bakugan returned to ball form, and returned to their respective partners.

"It's my turn!" Said Dan. "Gate Card, Set!"

"Bakugan, Brawl!" They both Said.

"What do they think they're doing?" Asked Mira.

"If they shoot at the same time, Drago will lose because his power level is lower!"

"Don't count Dan out yet." I said as the Bakugan neared each other. Then, Drago arced past Percival, and went around him. The others gasped.

"Bakugan, Stand!" Shouted Dan. "Drago!"

"Bakugan, Stand! Percival!"

"Did you catch that curve?" Asked Baron.

"He must've put some spin on the ball when he threw it." Agreed Mira.

"Pretty proud of yourself, huh?" Asked Ace. Dan Laughed. "Laugh it up. I'm just getting started!"

Ability Card, Set

"Ability Activate! Darkus Driver!" Percival then became a massive flying drill, aimed directly for Drago.

"Not so Fast!" Said Dan. "Ability Activate! Burning Dragon!" Dan sent his arm up and forward. Drago became enveloped in a red aura, and ran into Percival. An explosion ensued.

"What happened?" Asked Baron.

Power level increase

"Snap, His power is still higher than mine!"

"A little help Dan?" Asked Drago as he fell.

"Sure thing, buddy! Gate Card, Open! Pyrus Reactor!" Baron was Holding Marucho, and hopping from foot to foot when it opened. Drago went up by 150 Gs.

"Not finished, yet!" Said Drago as he got out of his nose dive.

"Clever, but not clever enough." Argued Percival.

"Let's go." Said Ace. "Ability, Activate!"

Ability Card Set

"Tri Gunner!" Percival crossed his arms, then reached them to his sides. Then, energy balls began to grow from his wrists and his mouth. He then brought the three together and sent the huge laser at Drago.

"Get Ready, Drago. Ability Activate! Burning Dragon!" Drago sent a fireball right at Percival. The two attacks collided, and they exploded.

"The third and final attack!" Said Marucho.

"Their powers are even." Said Ace.

"Think again." Said Dan. "Fusion Ability Activate! Pyrus Slayer!" Drago kicked up a massive tornado of fire.

"No Way!" Said Ace. "You used a combination fusion ability?"

"Never leave Dan out of a game." I said.

"I'll crush that!" Said Ace. "Ability Activate! Night Explorer!" Percival shot up his own tornado. Drago dropped by 300 Gs, but because Percival had dropped by one hundred, Drago was still ahead.

"No! It's not enough!" Said Ace as the two collided. A massive explosion occurred, and Drago was still flying. Percival was heading towards the ground, and returned to ball form.

"Now we're even." Said Drago.

"How long can they keep this up?" Asked Mira.

"They are equally matched, so it could go on for a while." I said. "Dan is one who never gives up, and I know that you guys know that Ace is the same. Neither will give up until forced to."

"They won't give up, so they could end up obliterating each other!" Said Baron.

"Gate Card, Set!" Said Ace. "Let's finish this Percival."

"Once and for all!" Agreed Percival.

"I'll show you power!" Said Ace. "Bakugan Brawl!"

"You ready to kick some Bakugan, Drago?"

"You can count me in!"

"Ok, let's do it. Bakugan, Brawl!" Percival wrapped Drago in a black sphere, and it exploded.

"Now!" Shouted Dan. Drago sent a large amount of dust in Percival's way.

"Percival!" Said Ace as the dust subsided. A large scale fight ensued.

"Drago!" Shouted Dan as the battle continued. Over time, the power levels continued to rise, and the life gauges continued to drop. After a long time, the two Bakugan collided head on, and caused a massive explosion. Dan and Ace were forced backwards by it's sheer force.

Power Levels Equal

Both Dan and Ace were at only 10% on their life Gauges. Before them was a huge crater formed by all the battling. Dan walked to the edge, breathing heavily. Ace did the same.

"How long can they keep this up?" Asked Baron.

Marucho checked his pocket watch. "Unbelieveable! Those two have been battling for over three hours!"

"What did I say. They won't back down." I said.

"This has gone too far." Said Mira.

"Come on!" Said Ace. "Bet you've had enough, haven't ya? Just give up!"

"I'm just getting started!" Replied Dan. "Ready for another rumble?"

"Let's do it." Agreed Drago.

"Let's finish them off, Percival."

"You Bet!" Agreed Percival.

"Bakugan!" They both started, then their eyes went hazy, and they stopped moving on their own.

"Dan!"

"Ace!" The two brawlers fell into the pit they had created. They were tumbling down the sides. Drago and Percival were also falling down. They hit in the center, seconds before Dan and Ace finished falling. They were both on their faces. They both groaned, then Ace began to laugh. Dan followed soon after. They then turned over.

"Man, You're off the rim." Said Ace.

"And you're not?" Asked Dan.

"You fought well, Percival." Complemented Drago.

"We'll settle this another time." Agreed Percival.

"After we get some rest." Both Dan and Ace began to laugh again. Me, Baron, Mira and Marucho slid down to them.

"Looks like we've got three new members." Said Mira.

When the sun had set, we were in the trailer. "Dimension Controllers?" Asked Dan. "What are those?"

"There are three Dimensions, Alpha, Beta, And Gamma." Said Mira. "Their power changed the Bakugan back into balls."

"So, if we were to destroy those controllers, would that change the Bakugan back to their former selves?" Asked Marucho.

"It's worth trying." Said Ace. "Battling the Vexos will only get us so far." He continued. "We need to hit them where it really hurts. That's why we've got to wipe out all three controllers!"

"We could just remove their power." I said.

"But each of the controllers is in the center of a city!" Said Baron.

"So that means that we need to hit the enemy in his lair. What do you think Dan, Atom?" Mira turned around to see Dan with his mouth full. I replied for both of us.

"We can agree that it sounds like a plan." I said.

"Well, I couldn't agree with you more." Said Mira. Dan swallowed his food, then held his hand out in a thumbs up.

"Sounds like my kind of mission!"

"Now that's the stuff." Said Mira.

"I'm in!" Said Baron.

"Gotta love a guy who doesn't over think things." Said Ace.

"Brace yourselves, everyone." Said Baron. "We're taking off." Then the entire building began to shake.

"Whoa! What's going on around here?" Asked Dan.

"Relax, the base is mobile." I said.

"Next Stop, Alpha!" Said Baron.

"No way, this building is on the move?" Asked Dan.

"The base turns into a mobile tank." Said Mira.

"This is off the chain!" Said Dan.

"I think you'll like our technology." Said Ace. "Even someone as slow as Dan can operate it."

"All Right!" Said Dan. "This just keeps on getting better and better!" Then Dan picked up Marucho.

"Put me down, Dan!" He said. "I mean it Dan, I might drool on you!"

"He means it, Dan." I said. "Put him down." Mira exited the control room, and went into the hallway.

"Dan and Marucho are always there for each other." Though Mira. "Like brothers."

We're going Vexos hunting! Or are they hunting us? I'm not entirely sure myself. All I know is that Dan is trying to teach Baron how to be better in the wrong way, getting psyched isn't always the best way. Looks like I'll need to step in before Shadow Prove gets here. I just hope it will all work out ok.
