-Break Line-

"Damn it!" shouted Julie. "I am positive we passed this area guys!"

"How would you know?" wondered Runo.

"Yea this place is huge and dark, you can't really see much Julie" said Marucho.

"Because" said Julie as she walked over to a walk that had a pink mark on it. "I marked this spot when we took a break about 20 minutes ago."

"That's... really smart thinking Julie" said Shun stunned by the silver hair girl's quick thinking. Runo turned around, annoyed that she had not thought of that.

"Alright then let's follow Julie's marks and see if we have missed a tunnel or two" suggested Shun. Everyone nodded before following the tunnels with no pink mark on them.

Few minutes passed when they came to a clearing inside of the tunnel. Inside there was a small pond that had a small island with a tree and on the ground was... Dan!

"Dan!" everyone shouted. They ran over to their friend but just before reaching him, the ceiling gave out and came in was Drago and Naga who were neck to neck at each other.

"You will never win Drago" said Naga. "Just give up as you can't beat me without that precious boy of ours!"

"Why you" said Drago before calling one of his attacks. "Ah I don't think you want to use your fire attacks here Drago" said Naga as he moved a bit to the side so Drago could see Dan.

"Dan!" shouted Drago in worry

The young pyrus brawler was lying unconscious, his head limp to his left with a small cut on the side, and he looked to be in pain.

Drago looked at Naga "You dare harm Daniel…you will pay dearly for that Naga!"

"All in due time Drago" said Naga before lifting Dan from the ground with his tail. "But it would seem that we have to continue this at another time."

"No I will not allow you to take Dan away from me" said Drago angrily.

"Aw is the little pyrus dragonoid missing his partner" tensed Naga as he lifts his tail and shows him Dan.

"You creep! Give back my Dan!" shouted Julie.

Naga smirked before firing multiple fire blasts at the place. Shun and the others were protected by their bakugan who came just in time to shield them from the falling rocks.

"Dan! Dan! No give him back!" shouted Runo. "T-Tigrerra let me go! Let me go!"

"I can't Runo" said Tigrerra. "Everyone we have to get out of here!"

Skyress and the others nodded before getting their partners out of the cave and landing nearby. Shun girt his teeth "We…We were so close…so close to getting him."

"No fair!" whined Julie as tears started to drop. "We-We can't stop…we have to keep going" said Marucho.

"He is right guys" said Shun as he turned to face his friends. "Dan will do the same thing for us if we were kidnapped! He would not stop at nothing to find us so we will to do the same thing as well!"

The others nodded but they heard growling. Julie blushes "Oops I guess I am bit hungry…oh man we forgot to bring food!"

"I guess we did" said Marucho before turning his head to Preyas. "Is there by any chance some food for us here?"

"Mm I believe so" said Preyas. "Drago do you know where we can find food for them?"

"…oh right, I believe there is an island that has some fruit that has the same nutrition for a human to eat" said Drago. "It's nearby as well."

"Alright let's go then" said Julie as she got up. "I can't find my Danny with an empty stomach!"

Everyone chuckled before following Drago. It took them not too long to reach to the island before Julie ran to one of the trees and started to pick some of the fruits.

"Wow hold on Julie! Let Shun get them!" said Marucho as he ran to Julie.

Drago sighs before flying on top of the cliff and looked up at the sky. "Oh Dan…" said Drago before looking down to see the brawlers.

"Just like old times" said Drago softly before seeing Skyress coming up to him "Skyress? What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking the same thing to you" said Skyress. "You are worried about Dan."

"Yes…I have failed to protect him" said Drago. Skyress shook her head "No Drago, we will save him and you know it."

"How?" wondered Drago. "We don't know where Naga is and if we do find him, how can we distract him long enough so that Shun and the others get Dan?"

Skyress looked at him "…We will find a way Drago as we always do; you just need to have faith in yourself and in Dan to hang on."

"Right" said Drago before looking down to see Runo and Julie are at each other's throats again. "I believe we may need to be need down there Skyress."

"I believe so" said the Ventus bakugan before flying down to the brawlers. Drago looked at the sky again "Just hang in there Dan…I'm coming."

Meanwhile in another island, Dan who was barely conscious was lying on the ground and was thinking about his friends.

"E-Everyone…" said Dan softly before clenching his left side of his injured rib. "D-Drago, hurry please…"

"Aw is little Daniel missing someone" said Naga as he came in. "Here let me help you not remember boy!"

Dan screamed when shock waves of electricity went through his injured body. "S-Stop! D-Drago! Ahhh!"

"By the time I am through with you, you will have no memory of Drago or any of your pathetic little friends" said Naga as he lowered his head to Dan. "You will forever sleep in eternal darkness boy."

Dan just stared at him as he was too much in pain to argue back. The young brawler watched as Naga left once again, leaving him in the dark.

"…D-Drago…" said Dan before everything turned dark.

-Forest, four days passed-

"Ah Shun can we take a breather" said Marucho. "I think Preyas is about to run out of energy soon."

"Sure…look there is a clearing up ahead" said Shun as he noticed everyone was getting tried once again.

"Ah where is that creep Naga? We have been looking like everywhere and still no sign of him at all and the worst part is that I haven't seen my Danny for like ever!" said Julie dramatically.

"Stop saying he is yours Julie!" snapped Runo as she jumped off from Tigrerra's shoulder. Julie pouts before sticking out her tongue at her.

"Oh real mature Julie…and stop acting like Dan!" said Runo angrily.

"Will you to keep quiet" said Shun.

"Shun is right" said Marucho as he adjusted his glasses. "If we ran into Naga and him finding us, the less chance that we can get to save Dan."

Julie and Runo looked guilty before looking down at the ground.

Alice shook her head before looking over to Shun. "Shall we look around while they take their break?"

"Yea, we will be back guys" said Shun before stopping. "And don't do anything stupid…mostly you Runo."

"Hey!" snapped Runo.

"Now Runo, that is no way a lady should behave" scolded Tigrerra.

Shun and the others laughed a bit before Shun and Alice left to the sky to see if they could find anything. It only passed a few minutes when Hydra felt something…familiar.

"That…feeling" said Hydra.

"What feeling?" wondered Alice as Shun listened close by.

"We remember this feeling…this feeling came from when we worked for Naga at the time" said Hydra.

"Oh…yes I am getting it as well" said Alice.

"If that is the case then Naga is here somewhere, come on let's go tell the others about this" said Shun.

Alice nodded "Let the way Shun."

-Break Line-

Naga was just returning from his flight when he had to dodge a hammer. He looked over to his right and saw Gorem.

"You – what?! Drago?!" said Naga.

"Naga you cannot escape! We will finish this once and for all!" said Drago as the others were by him.

"Oh is that so Drago…very well then – let this place be your grave Drago!" said Naga as he sent a dark blast at Drago.

"I don't think so Naga! Preyas!" said Marucho.

"Right wave shield!" said Preyas blocking the incoming attack with a water wall. "Oh yea! Come on is that all you got!"

Naga growled "Why you – Silent Doom!"

"I don't think so Naga! Gorem!" said Julie.

"Have another, Naga, taros hammer!" said Gorem as he threw his hammer at Naga. The white bakugan had to stop his attack to avoid the incoming hammer.

"Go Tigrerra!" said Runo.

"No problem, hyper velocity fang!" said Tigrerra as she ran at Naga. "Get ready for a world of pain Naga."

Naga barely had enough time to dodge. "You all are getting on my last nerve" said Naga before sending random blasts in their directions.

Drago came in front "I don't think so Naga…tornado barrier!"

"Wow they are really going at it" said Alice next to Shun.

"Yea…come on we have at least half an hour before Naga realize we are not there" said Shun as he jumped off the tree.

"Right…those dark feelings are coming from over there, by that opening" said Alice as she pointed to a hidden cave.

"Let's go then" said Shun.

The two started to run to the cave and as they entered, it was not as bad as the cave from the volcano one but it was damn and cold.

Shun grit his teeth knowing in Dan's condition, he wouldn't able to last long. "Come on, let's find Dan!"

Alice nodded as she followed Shun. They have been looking for about 20 minutes when they came to a tunnel where there was an opening on top.

"Well now we know where Naga would come in but the question is – Dan?!" said Shun before spotting his friend on the ground.

Alice gasped before both ran to their missing friend. Shun went over to his friend and placed his fingers to Dan's neck.

"He…He barely has a pulse Alice" said Shun in shock. Alice was shocked before looking over at Shun "Come on, we have to get Dan out of here."

"R-Right – help me put Dan on my back" said Shun. Alice nodded before carefully lifting Dan to Shun's back as Shun holds him steady.

They ran out of the cave just in time to see Naga coming towards the opening of the cave tunnel. Shun and Alice ran to hide when Naga came out of the opening and was growling furious.

"How was it possible you got the boy from me?!" snapped Naga.

"It's called teamwork you creep, Tigrerra!" said Runo before taking another card.

"With pleasure – lightning tornado!" said Tigrerra.

"Burning tornado!" said Drago.

"Gust of wind blow!" said Skyress.

"Chaos leap sting!" said Hydra.

"Blue whirlwind!" said Preyas.

"Gorem punch!" said Gorem.

"No this is not supposed to happen – ah!" shouted Naga as all the attacks hit him before falling to the ground.

"It's over Naga" said Drago. "You have lost!"

Naga growled "I will not be defeated once again – you hear me! Darkus Riot!"

"What?" said Drago before dodging the incoming attack.

"Oh man – Aquos guardian!" said Preyas.

"Guys!" said Shun as he and Alice ran to them. "We have to take Dan to the hospital fast!"

Drago looked down to see his best friend who was unconscious, quite pale, few cuts and bruises and looked to be in extreme pain.

"Aw man but Naga…he doesn't want to give up" said Julie.

"Well we better think of something to take Dan back to our world and quick" said Marucho as Preyas' shield was going down.

"Skyress take the brawlers away from here while the others help me beat Naga" said Drago.

"Are you sure Drago?" asked Skyress.

"Yes…Apollonir will have a portal open for you – now go!" said Drago. Skyress nodded before lowering her neck for everyone to get on.

"Good luck Tigrerra and beat that Naga for good" said Runo before jumping onto Skyress.

"I will, take good care Runo" said Tigrerra.

"Beat that nasty creep Preyas" said Marucho as his bakugan guardian placed him onto Skyress.

"Will do little buddy and watch out for Dan" said Preyas.

"Goodbye Gorem and beat that nasty Naga!" said Julie as she was tearing up.

"Aw Julie please don't cry, I will be fine and promise I will see you someday" said Gorem as he was blushing.

"Take care Hydra and bring Naga down for what he has done" said Alice.

Hydra nodded "I will Alice and you take care as well."

"Shun…" said Drago. Shun looked up as he was sitting on top of Skyress while the others were holding onto Dan.

"Don't you worry Drago, we will make sure Dan is safe" said Shun. "You just beat Naga once and for all, for Dan sake!"

"Of course" said Drago.

Shun nodded "Let's go Skyress."

The Ventus bakugan nodded before taking off just enough time to dodge an attack from Naga. "No I will not lose my only chance of getting the cores!" said Naga as he was about to take off.

"I don't think so Naga – Indigo nightmare!" said Hydra.

"I am not letting harm Dan any longer Naga – Maximum dragon!" said Drago.

Naga growled "No I will not lose – Sykuna Shield!"

Meanwhile Skyress was racing through to get to the island as Dan was getting worse by the minute. "Dan, hang in there" said Marucho.

"Hold on Marucho, can you help me lift up his shirt?" asked Alice.

"Um sure" said Marucho.

"Um Alice, what are you doing?" wondered Runo as she watched Alice lifting Dan's shirt with Marucho's help. "Dan's breathing is not right…I am guessing that Dan must have a broken rib that is hurting one of his lungs" said Alice.

"What? You don't think – oh no!" said Julie as everyone saw the dark bruise near Dan's left side of where the lung was at.

"This is not good" said Alice before looking over at the rest of Dan's body. "It looks like Dan has a broken rib and possibility a fractured waist and twisted ankle."

"Not only that – Dan might have a very high fever" said Marucho as he had his hand over Dan's forehead.

"Skyress please you have to speed it up if you can" said Shun.

"Hang on children" said Skyress before dashing to the island. Shun looked down at Dan 'Dan just hang in there…'
