May walked slowly looking at her invitation from the Brawlers, instead of waiting for her sister to appear she had to leave immediately and head to the stadium. Sighing Mary realized that this would be the first time she had to Brawl without Ann by her side. Upon reaching the arena she entered and followed the map to the stadium that was marked on the paper. Looking in the Darkus brawler saw that there was no one in the center of the battle area, but she did see people in the stands.

Slowly she walked in shaking lightly.

"Calm down Mary." Icess said "We are here for you nightress and I."

"Thanks. but Ann and I usually battle as a team. I can't imagine being with the brawlers without my sister. She could be considered better than I am." Mary replied shaking her head "I can't do this with out Annie."

"Don't think like that May. I know you can do it Ann would say the same exact thing if she heard you say that. "

Mary's face turned pink at the compliment given to her. It wasn't that she thought she was a terrible brawler, she was one of the top rankings under the brawlers that is. It was that she was just too modest to even admit she was good. When someone tapped her on her shoulder May yelped and turned around standing there looking at her in sympathy and happiness was her twin sister.

"Sorry Mary, I did not mean to scare you. I was just trying to get your attention without screaming your name out." Ann said "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Just a little spooked. I was so nervous about not being here with my twin that... It is not your fault." she replied hugging her sister.

They sat down together and watched as three Bakugan sailed over there heads: The Aquos Bakugan Tristar upon entering from above making water splash like little rain drops on top of all the candidates, though not completely so that they were soaked. Then backflipped and landed in the center standing to the Tristar of the small stage there.

Then a Ventus Bakugan appeared performing ninja techniques and blasting wind in the faces of all the potential Battle Brawlers there, making one of them suggest that it was more of a performance than a contest to see witch one of them would join them. After performing some more moves Talion slipped into the position making it crystal clear to everyone that he was the 'Beta' in the Battle brawlers.

Lastly Drago flew into the stadium, shooting fire and going right through it, blowing flames around the stands making everyone jump back in fear of being barbequed by the dragonoid on mistake. They knew that Drago would not mean to and feel horrible after it happened but they did not want to risk the chance of Drago losing control of his powers. When he was done the Pyrus bakugan flew high up into the air and soared down landing directly in between of Shun, Marucho and their partners.

A few minutes passed and nothing was said till Drago broke the silence "Hello we are glad that those who have accepted our invitation. Now that you are here we have a few guidelines we want our candidates to follow. 1) Bravery. Now I do not mean doing incredibly stupid things to prove that you are brave. That's Dan's job." He said making the audience laugh

at Drago's partners misforchion. "Joking aside the bravery we are looking for is different."

"Now we will eliminate contestants for either breaking the rules and guidelines we give you, The only thing you care about is power, and you cheat." Shun said "And by cheat I mean buy using allergies against other contestants or giving false information out."

"We have friends watching so you will not know where or who they are. They could be former Brawlers or just people that are our friends." Marucho said

"Secondly you need to have Honor. It is an important trait in a Battle Brawler." Shunn said

"Sportsmanship is important." Talion explained

"After some battling for fun no eliminations this time.." Dan said

"If your battle gets too out of control we will take you both out of the duel." Drago said

A screen appeared and both twins crossed their fingers hoping that they would not be chosen to battle each other. Sighing in relief when they were not battling each other. But they found that each was battling Pyrus and a Subterra.

May stood facing her opponent Nightress resting on her shoulder. They saw that they were battling the Subterra brawler. He smirked looking at her thinking that she was a weak battler.

"Gate card set!" the boy yelled

"Bakugan Brawl!" they both shouted

"Rise Subterra Rocter"

"Let's go Darkus Nightress." Mary called out tossing her best friend onto the card ready to battle.

"Ability activate Terra hammer!" he called out

"Ability activate Darkus flame." Mary called out quickly watching as the flames hit her opponent before the hammer could hit her friend.

"Ability activate Quake" Nightress fell to the ground hard after getting hit by boulders

"Ability activate..."

"Ability activate Blitz crusher!" the boy called out

"Crystal shield" Mary called out quickly as a shield formed around her friend.

"Thanks Mary."

"No problem Nightress, this guy is resilient." She said

"Ability activate Earth crusher!"

"Ability activate Pyrus wave!" dan called out hitting the Subterra Bakugan to the ground. Dan was about to activate another ability when a voice stopped him.

"No! this is our fight and we intend to finish it." Mary said "Nightress lets take to the skies!" the purple bakugan jumped into the air and May hopped on.

"Double ability activate Darkus flame and moon light." Mary said as she stood on top of her partner's shoulder.

The boy laughed at the abilities she activated but gasped in surprise when the dark flame hit his partner hard and he returned to his battle partner.

"WHAT!? HOW!?" he questioned

"Moon light is Nightress' special ability that is only unique to her. When moonlight is activated her abilities doubles, in power." Mary said with a smirk as she caught her partner "Gate card set."

"You will not get the drop on me again. You just got lucky. Bakugan Brawl." the boy said "Crush her Rockter."

"We shall see." she replied "Ready for another round?"

"I'm in." the purple bakugan answered

"Bakugan brawl. Let's finish this Nightress." May called out wanting to get this battle over with without too much damage and harm to the spectators.

"Ability activate rock cannon!" Tomas called Hitting Nightress down to the ground "Ability activate Quake!"

"Ability activate crystal shield!"

"Thanks again May. Nice save."

"This guy is driving my patients." She said "Ability activate Sonic wave!" She called out and covered her ears. Just as she did a high frequency wave of sound blasted from Nightress' mouth making the Subterra Bakugan to fall to the ground covering his ears.

"Ability activate Tomb crusher!"

"Gate card open Witching hour!" Mary called out and Tomb crusher fizzled out

"WHAT?!

"Another one of Nightdress' special abilities. This ends the battle after one hit after activation no matter the power level ability activate Nights flame!" She called and ended the match.

When the dust cleared they saw the boy complaining that he lost to a rose and Mary standing tall and looking at her partner with a small smile. Dan and Drago flew down to see the damage and to talk to both of them.

Turning to the boy Dan stated "You started trouble the first day? We were not going to eliminate any of the contestants today. It was just for fun. Why did you not let her have turns to call out her abilities."

"Dan, cool it I can fight my own battles." May said shocking everyone again.

"Dan, she is right, we don't need to fight her battles she seems capable of doing just that," Drago said to his partner and turned to Mary. "Who are you and why did you refuse help?"

"This is to prove ourselves and if I can not handle someone who simply got too carried away then what goo am I to the people who would need help." She said "Oh and call me May."

"IS that short of something like Maybel, or..."

"Mary it is short of Mary." She said with a small smile,

"Well the damage is not so bad so we can finish the brawls today we have only two more to do." Dan said

After the next brawl Ann was waiting for her opponent when she showed up Ann was reminded of her sister because she, was really nervous so she called over to her to give her words of comfort "Let's just have a fun battle alright. Just like

we are playing a game how's that sound?"

The girl smile kindly and called back "S..Sounds...l-like a p-plan!"

The battle begain with Annie fighting aginst the shy Pyrus battler.

"You want to start or I?" Annie asked

"You can." She said softly

"Alright, gate card set." Ann called out "Bakugan Brawl!"

"Bakugan Brawl!"

"Let's have some fun Blitz."

"Come on Scorpion."

"Ability activate Electric sabor" Ann said

"Ability activate flame circle."

"Ability activate knight's shield" Ann called out as she watched as the circles of flames bounced off of the shield.

"Ability activate explosive." She called out with a littel more confidence.

"Blitz!" Ann called out when her partner was hit to the ground

"Good shot, I did not even see it coming." He complimented the two on the opposite side. As Blitz returned to Ann.

"Your turn." Ann said with a smile

"Gate card set!" She called out

They tossed their Bakugan and the battle began again. It lasted awhile and then it was over making Ann the winner.

When they battled again Ann turned out to win again much to the girls disappointment but Ann was kind about it telling

her that she was a good battler and gave her a smile hoping to be able to battle her again something because she was a

good battler.

When the twins exited the arena they saw Dan and Drago on his shoulder waiting for them. When dan walked over to them

the girls gave him a warm smile.

"Hey. That was some battle you two did." Dan complemented

"Thanks." they said at the same time

"So..." Dan spoke "So how are you liking Bakugan City."

"It is alright." the girls replied

"Do you two realize that you are talking as one?" Drago asked in confusion

"No" They said again "We know it happens but we have no control over it."

"Ok." Drago said "I have never met twins like you before.

"Thanks I think." Ann said raising an eyebrow

"It was a compliment." The red Bakugan said

"OK." Mary said "So what brings you here, shouldn't you get home?"

"Yeah I...we better head home. What about you two and your partners." Dan said

"Yes, it is getting late, we should be heading home. Right girls?" Blitz replied sitting on Ann's shoulder

"Well see you next time Dan." Ann said

"Bye Drago." Mary replied

The two headed off to their house, while Dan headed home the other way with Drago. Niwther of them knowing that they lived

right next door.

That night

"It was nice to find out that we were both accepted to be potential Battle Brawlers." Ann said

"Yeah." Mary said getting lost in her thoughts.

"Whats wrong sis?" Annie asked

"Well, did you noticed that the second that the boy I battled got out of hand Dan and Drago stepped in." MAry pointed out

"Well, they lost Bakugan Interspace because of chaotic brawlers and Magimel." Annie said

"I know, I know." the Darkus/Aquos Brawler said "But it was like he felt I was in trouble...or thought I was weak."

"If they thought you were weak they would not have invited you." Nightress said

"That is true, maybe they did not want to lose the arena to those types of Brawlers or have them on their team." Blitz explained "You do not know what they discussed before we were summoned."

"Hey...Where are Icess and Windchase?" Nightress asked

"They are spending time time with their old partners." Mary said and Ann nodded

"I still can not believe that you two are Double Brawlers. It has been one year since that has happened." Nightress said

"Yesh, and all the trouble we get because of it." May said with a small smile "Still I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Yeah, it is good that they still want to be in our family and they did get to chose who they wanted as a partner when the bakugan came back to Earth." Ann explained looking at the door as she waited for her other partner to come back from her visit.

Mary nodded and then jumped onto her bed. You could tell that they were twins but each one had a special style. May wore tie-dye blue and purple PJs while Ann wore green and yellow striped PJs. Annie was more of a tomboy while Mary was the opposite. They were on opposite ends of the spectrum but they still got along and that is why they are such a great team. They cover each other when needed and they have only a few things in common besides being Double Brawlers. They both were loved their battle partners so much and considered them family. They loved each other and respected that they did not like the same things.

When Icess and Windchase entered the room the girls were both sleeping, peacefully making them smile to themselves (No one really knowing that they were smiling because they were in their sphere forms.)
