Sorry for the short absence. Now let's go to this chapter.

Now chapter nine.

Spectra's old friend

They were training for the Tournament nonstop from the day Masquarade arrived.

They created tactics and some new Ability Cards for their bakugans in no time.

'Now let's test them.' said Blake with excitement.

'Sure.'

'Gountlet Power Strike.' they both screamed and time stopped.

'Gate card set.' and the ground started to glow purple.

'Bakugan Brawl. Bakugan Stand. Go Hybrid Druman.'

'Bakugan Brawl. Bakugan stand. Go Darkus Serpent.'

'Let's do this.' said both bakugan.

'Ability Activate: Vortex Dark Flame.'

'Good one. Counter Ability Activate: Reflector.'

And the Vortex Dark Flame flied to Druman and he returned back to his ball form.

'Not bad. We'll do this again, but this time with bakugan trap.' explained Masquarade.

'Now bakugan brawl. Bakugan stand.'

And both of their bakugan stood.

'Go Darkus Spider X trap.'

And big not proportional spider appeared. He had X shaped head with a small body and eight gigantic legs which ended with spikes.

'Abillity Activate: Darkus Armour.'

The traps body now became Serpents armour in front and his legs became his wings.

'Pretty good.' said Masquarade.

'Before we finish our training battle I will tell you why I told you to remove your mask. The reason is simple. Your mask is the power source that balances Doom Dimension and when you leave the balance is lost. So in order for you to come here you had to throw the mask away.'

'Seems legit.' said Masquarade.

And they continued to train for the Tournament.
