Dan and I were brawling. I had my strategy custom tailored to be able to always lose to him, yet I still had almost won. This was due to me new partner, Haos Leonidas. The reward for the battle was information for Dan. Let's hope he can understand.


Powers beyond reality,

Brought about by one.

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.


"But now, it's time for me to fess up. About who I am, and what I am doing here."

"Then start explaining already! I know you have the heart of a brawler, yet you never battle. It's been driving me crazy since the beginning!"

"Calm down and I'll tell you." Dan was reluctant at first, but he then agreed to sit down and relax. "Ok, so first thing first. You know where the bakugan come from, correct?"

"Of course! Vestroia."

"Well, Vestroia is another dimension. A world parallel to Earth. What I do is related to something completely different."

Then Leonidas interrupted. "When am I going to get to battle again?"

"Aren't you a bit aggressive right now? Just relax a little longer."

"Hmph." He closed.

"Anyways, where was I?"

"You were saying that what you do is different."

"Right. What I do is I cross realities."

"What does that mean?"

"It means I am not from here. I came from the first reality, the basic one. The reality all other realities are from."

Dan simply stared. I had thought I broke his mind, until he looked at me and asked something.

"So, why are you not in your reality?"

"It is blocked to me. I cannot access it because I ventured too far."

Dan nodded his head. "So, why are you in this Reality?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that I cannot access the timelines to switch realities here. Until I figure out how to, I am struck."

"Well, how do you figure it out?"

"By sitting and watching the timeline go. I am stressing it right now just telling you about it."

"So, why don't you brawl?"

"Because, if I did, and I started ascending ranks, I would disrupt the time stream. For example, if I were to beat you, you would not ascend to the top ten like you are supposed to. I would take over, and the reality would shatter."

Then, an echoey voice came out of nowhere. "So, what would happen if you were to beat me?" Then, a familiar white cloak came out of the air, seemingly like the warp card Masquerade had. Then he was there: Masquerade himself. "Would that disrupt the time stream as well?"

"As long as I don't ascend the ranks, no."

"Well then, how about a battle? If you win, you will go up to the top 100. If I win, however…"

"My bakugan will go to the Doom Dimension. I know that. It's due to the Doom Card in your possession. However, I cannot accept the battle. If I did, the time stream would destabilize. Not only would reality itself change, but so would everybody else."

Then Leonidas whispered in my ear. "I want to battle. Give me that right!"

"I can't. If I do, it will cause ripples that will affect all other realities."

"So, Atom. If you wish for me to not send Daniel's bakugan to the Doom Dimension, you will battle!"

Dan looked at me. "I don't know about you, but I never say no to a battle. But, if I battle him, I will lose."

I sighed. Either I change reality myself, or Dan does it. I at least have a chance to save the reality if it destabilizes.

"Very well Masquerade. I accept your challenge." We stood apart from each other. He lifted a card at the same time as me.

"Field, open." His glowed purple, and mine glowed yellow. The attribute wheel circled under us, and I felt the one on my hand itch. Soon, we were in the battle field. I felt a hand on me, and turned. I saw Dan with his hand on my shoulder. I knew he would come, but it still surprised me.

"So, Atom, Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Very well then. Doom Card, Set."

The purple ripples were sent out, and I knew that I had to win or lose everything.

Then Leonidas spoke. "Don't worry, just send me out first." I looked at him in shock, and Dan the turned my head so I was focused on the field. Masquerade had already sent out a Darkus Laserman, onto my Gate card nonetheless. This was my chance to bring out my power. Laserman was a ranged Bakugan, but useless in close quarters. But, just as I went to grab my Siege, Leonidas flew out and landed on the card. He rose, and I saw Masquerade smirk. I then saw Leonidas run and punch the Laserman. He held his hand in pain. Then, Masquerade held up a card.

"Ability activate, Darkus Shift." Laserman phased off of my card and reappeared on Masquerade's, and he was ready to fire. Leonidas was soon trying to dodge lasers, but failing to.

Calculating G power Levels. Haos Leonidas at 450 Gs, Darkus Laserman at 440 Gs.

-At least Leonidas is still at a higher G level.- Laserman kept firing, but he wasn't dealing any damage, other than annoyance.

"Atom, lemme at him!"

"Sure thing. Ability Activate. Haos switch!"

The gate card Leonidas was on and Leonidas were phasing out of existence, as was Masquerade's card. Suddenly, the two switched, and Laserman and Leonidas were on my Card where Masquerade's was.

"Not bad, but useless!"

"Not useless."

Battle Started. Calculating G power Levels. Haos Leonidas at 540 Gs, Darkus Laserman at 440 Gs.

"What the! How?"

"Let me explain. The Haos Switch Card is a card that allows me to swap the position of any number of things on the battlefield. This includes gate cards, and Bakugan, among other things." Masquerade growled at his Laserman was defeated. Leonidas came back to me, and Masquerade was down a Bakugan.

"It's my move now. Bakugan Brawl! Rise Darkus Siege!"

Masquerade was playing in his court now. I had to follow him or face Reaper. I threw Leonidas onto his gate card.

"Finally, back into the battle!"

"Not for long. Gate Card, open. Triple Battle!" Masquerade had another bakugan brought out, and it was Reaper.

"So, puny Human, we finally meet." I was instantly scared. I knew it was Reaper's own ability, but it still felt real.

Then Masquerade started Speaking. "Just to make things more interesting. Ability Activate! Darkus Landmine!" The gate card shimmered. In its place was another gate card, this one unopened. "Gate card open! Haos Drain!"

Calculating G power change. Leonidas decreasing, decreasing, decreasing.

Leonidas was in some serious trouble, and I couldn't do anything about it. If I did, the time stream would be messed up.

"Atom." It was Leonidas. "We need to do something!"

"I know, but the time stream!"

"Forget the time stream! You are in a different reality from what you think it is! You need to wake up, see the differences, and figure out what to do!"

I suddenly had a vision. I was looking at what I knew, and what I had seen. There were differences! There was nothing the same between them. The layouts, the collectibles, the people. Nothing was the same! Then I saw a Bakugan I had no name for.

"Human, you have learned much in your time. But you still question what should be done. You are in a new reality, one that you wished for. You have the power to stop his gate card. You must do so to save your partner."

"But, the time stream…"

"There is no reason to be concerned about the time stream. You are in a reality apart from what you know. Things will not flow the same, and require something to happen outside the normal. You need to do what needs to be done, not worry about the timeline. That's my job." The vision began to vanish. I again saw Leonidas barely holding on. His G power was still decreasing.

"I need to do something, but all Haos abilities are blocked. What do I do, what do I do?" As I was trying to think, I saw the attribute wheel on my hand.

"You have the power to stop the gate card." Said a voice in my head.

"I have the power to stop the gate card!" I focused on the attributic wheel. I thought of which attribute would be most helpful against Darkus. Then I remembered the goal of each season. Dan, a Pyrus brawler, was against a Darkus brawler. I focused on the power of Pyrus, the power of fire, and I felt something. I looked at my hand and saw that Pyrus was lit up on it. Power coursed through my arm, and was travelling through my body. Leonidas was also starting to glow. I had an urge to call out something. "Form Change!" The power raced across my body, filling me with fire. I began to glow and my clothing changed to be more similar to Dan's. Leonidas also changed. His color went from white to red, and grey to dark red. My ability cards changed to be of the Pyrus variety, and Leonidas roared. His G power shot back up, and continued on for a bit. His power level stabilized at 520 Gs, 70 Gs higher than his base.

"I am Pyrus Leonidas!" He Roared. Masquerade stumbled backwards a little, clearly agitated.

Calculating G power Levels. Pyrus Leonidas at 520 Gs, Darkus Siege at 300 Gs, Darkus Reaper at 340 Gs.

So, Leonidas was 120 Gs behind. Nothing I can't handle.

"Ability Activate! Fire Wall!" Leonidas became encased in a tornado of fire.

Leonidas G power boost by 50 Gs.

"Not enough, Atom. Ability Activate! Darkus Enhancement!"

All Darkus bakugan G power boost by 150 Gs. Pyrus Leonidas at 570 Gs. Darkus team at 940 Gs.

"Just what I was waiting for! Ability Activate! Nova Split!"

Leonidas then duplicated himself. The copy was Haos, with his base power level.

Recalculating. Leonidas team at 1020 Gs. Darkus team at 940 Gs.

"Perfect. And since you used all three of your abilities, you cannot raise their power anymore. Thus, the G difference stays in effect and Leonidas wins!" Leonidas rammed into the two Bakugan, and the field started to close around us. Masquerade sneered, and vanished in a pane. It seemed that he was down, but not out. I then realized that I was in my normal clothing again, and Leonidas was once again Haos.

"That was awesome!" I looked at Dan. He seemed to be very impressed. I was too, in fact. I never thought that would happen. I looked down at Leonidas and began to laugh.

Hey guys. Julie Here! Listen, we finally get to meet Dan's house guest! Apparently Atom has a messed up history when it comes to the Bakugan, and he doesn't even know how to get back to his home. Sooo sad. Anyways, Runo wants to battle him, Haos against Haos. You's have to tune in to find out who wins!
