(Davis) The Dictators and Negoes succeeded in brainwashing Dan and the original Battle Brawlers, but they weren't expecting us. However, they're after Leonidas. We're doing what we can, but it's not enough. So we're teaming up with former members of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. We all might come from different worlds, but we're willing to fight together to save our friends.

"How could you let this happen?" Negoes said. Cassandra dropped to the ground as she looked battered and bruised. "You let one of the Battle Brawlers escaped."

"I'm sorry, Master Negoes." Cassandra said. "I wasn't expecting Mira Fermin to join in the battle. I also wasn't aware that the mind control would have been broken by taking the bakugan."

"Regardless, I'm getting sick of all these failures." Phantablo said. "Negoes, I thought these subordinates of yours could get the job done. Instead, we're dealing with setbacks."

"Yes. Our enemy has proven to be more of a challenge than I anticipated." Negoes said. "Things better change around here." Meanwhile, Josin was hiding in the back.

"Sounds like Cassandra is really having it." Lynxer said.

"Yeah. It also seems those Brawlers are starting to get the better of us." Josin said, but had a sneaky smile on his face.

"What are you grinning about?" Lynxer asked.

"I think it's our time to shine." Josin said as he looked down the hall and saw someone was coming. "There's our little helper." The person that stepped forward was Runo.

"Runo? Why are we using her?" Lynxer said.

"She and I both use haos bakugan that are cat-like." Josin said. "I can't think of a better partner than her that will put those Brawlers in their place."

"I see." Lynxer said. "Josin, you're sneaky and conniving. Just what I like in my partner."

Shibuya

"Yummy!" Julie said as she was enjoying a meal in the park with all the Brawlers. With the help of Mira, Julie was free from the Dictators. "This has got to be the best burger ever."

"I've got to say that it is delicious." Mira said.

"Glad you guys like them. After all Julie and Gorem went through, they deserve it." Yolei said. The Brawlers were finally able to enjoy themselves with one saved, but they still needed to figure out a plan to save the others.

"So Julie, we still need a plan. Do you really not remember much of anything when you were being controlled?" Koji asked.

"No. Sorry. It's all a blur." Julie said.

"Don't worry too much about it." Davis said.

"Yeah. At least we have something. We just need to win the bakugan in a battle and the mind control is busted." Nikki said.

"Well…we don't know if that's entirely the case." Yolei said. "I mean, Marucho and Shun have more than one bakugan partner. We don't know if we have to beat one or beat them all."

"It's also easier said than done if we have to go against Dan and Drago." Leonidas said. "Drago is considered one of most powerful bakugan ever. How are we going to beat him?"

"We also don't have a clue as to what the Dictators are up to." T.K. said. "We would also need to do something to make sure we don't end up in this mess again."

"Man. This is getting more and more of a nuisance." Serpix said.

"Come on. We're all thinking too hard about this." Davis said. "Just be glad we got Julie back and Mira is here to help us. At least we have an idea on what we should do."

"Davis, do you not get what's going on?" Koji said.

"Of course I do. I've been here the entire time." Davis said. "All I'm saying is that now that we know what we can do, it's a start after all the stress we went through to get some plan on getting them back."

"Oh forget it." Koji said as he just walked off.

"Koji, wait for me." Speedrose said as he went after him.

"What's his problem?" Mira asked.

"He's just got a touch of doom and gloom. People should really start seeing on the bright side of situations." Julie said. "Especially when you use haos bakugan."

Koji

Koji walked further into the park and came across the park's fountain. He stopped for a moment as he had a look around the scenery. Seeing it almost makes a person forget the troubles they're in.

"Koji, is there something wrong?" Speedrose said. "I figure you would be happy since we finally managed to get one up against the Dictators."

"It's just so agonizing." Koji said. "This struggle with the Dictators is becoming stressful and we're barely making any difference. This isn't what a signed up for."

"So what are you saying? Are you saying you want to quit?" Koji said.

"No." Koji said as he sighed. "I just wish that there was a simpler solution."

"Koji, I know this is tough, but we have to do this." Speedrose said. "From what Davis and the others have told us, battling today in this world is possible thanks to this Dan and the original Battle Brawlers." Koji understood all that, but he's getting fed up with this struggle.

"What's the matter? You don't want to battle anymore?" Koji looked ahead and he saw Josin with Runo.

"Not you again." Koji said.

"So you want all the struggle and suffering to end?" Josin said. "I can do that for you after one more battle and you suffer a humiliating loss."

"Good idea. Speedrose and I never did get to settle our last battle." Lynxer said.

"We also have Runo and Tigrerra on our side." Josin said. "We've got twice the cat power. So what do you say? Are you in?"

"Get lost, kitty cat." Koji said and Josin nearly fell over from his comment.

"Excuse me? What do you mean?" Josin said.

"You're no match for me to begin with. I will battle the girl now that I know how to save her." Koji said.

"No chance. You going to battle both of us. That is of course you're a coward." Josin said.

"A coward?" Koji said as he sounded insulted. He reached for his gloves and tighten them up. "Alright, cat. I accept your challenge."

"Let's do this, Koji. I'm with you." Speedrose said.

"Gate Card Set!" Josin said as he tossed the card in. "Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Go, Haos Lynxer!"

"This time, I will defeat you, Speedrose!" Lynxer claimed.

"Runo, care to join in?" Josin said.

"Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Haos Blade Tigrerra!" Runo said as Tigrerra joined the field with a mighty roar.

"Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Rise, Haos Speedrose!" Koji said as Speedrose came on the field. "Ability Activate, Shooting Star Malestrom!" Speedrose started running circles around both his opponents and forming the cyclone.

"Ability Activate, Hyper Velocity Fang!" Runo said. Tigrerra slashed against the ability and had it stop with Speedrose's power dropping to 600.

"Ability Activate, Frenzy Saber!" Josin said. Lynxer grew his claws out and his power rising to 1200. Lynxer tried slashing at Speedrose, but he was doing his best to block them.

"Ability Activate, Metal Fang!" Runo said. Tigrerra grew out her claws and her power rose to 1300. She charged right in for the battle and Speedrose couldn't handle both of them.

"Ability Activate, Defensive Speeder!" Koji said. Speedrose formed his shield and was able to block them both. His power rose to 900 and the two cats had their power drop to 1100 and 1000. "Ability Activate, Voltage Thrust!" Speedrose shot out a blast of electricity and blasted Lynxer with Speedrose's power rising to 1200.

"You'll have to do better than that. Ability Activate, Savage Spire!" Josin said.

"Ability Activate, Spiral Lightning!" Koji said. Both of them used their best attacks as their power rose by 500, but Speedrose was stronger with it being 1700 to 1500. His attack pushed through and took Lynxer out.

"Josin's life gage 60%"

"No way! I'm actually losing to him?!" Josin said.

"Now for Tigrerra." Speedrose said as he turned to face her, but he couldn't see her. "Where is she?"

"Behind you!" Koji called out. Speedrose turned around and saw her.

"Ability Activate, Saber Glowcer!" Runo said. Tigrerra unleashed her energy slashes and blasted Speedrose. His power dropped to 1300 and Tigrerra's rose to 1500. Speedrose couldn't holdo n as he returned to ball form.

"Koji's life gage 60%"

"Speedrose, are you alright?" Koji asked.

"I'll be fine. We have to keep the battle going." Speedrose said and Koji agreed.

"Gate Card Set!" Koji said. "Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!"

"Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand!" Josin and Runo said as both of their bakugan came on the field. Speedrose stood and faced off against both of them. Both of them were tough, but Speedrose had to win.

"Bring it." Speedrose said.

"Hold it!" All of them looked to the fountain and saw a girl with blue hair standing on it.

"Who are you?" Koji said.

"My name is Fabia Sheen. I am queen of Neathia."

"Neathia? Never heard of it. Could you come back later? We're in the middle of something." Koji said.

"I can see that and I came to help. I got a message saying Dan and the Battle Brawlers were in trouble." Fabia said.

"So you're a member of the Battle Brawlers?" Koji questioned.

"That's right. I came all this way with my old partner to save them. Let's talk later after we win this battle." Fabia said. "Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Let's go, Haos Aranaut!"

"In the name of the castle knights, we shall defeat you and save our comrades!" Aranaut claim as he joined the battle with a power level of 900.

"Someone sounds sure of himself." Lynxer said.

"We'll beat him too." Josin said.

"If we're on the same side, I appreciate the help. Ability Activate, Acceleration Raise!" Koji said.

"Ability Activate, Mirage Up!" Fabia said. Both of them were surrounded by a bright aura and both of their power levels went up to 1200.

"Let's do this, Aranaut." Speedrose said.

"I'm with you." Aranaut said. Both of them moved incredible fast as they both beat around their opponents.

"They're so fast! I can't keep up with them." Josin said. They got a few more hits in as they both came to a stop.

"Aranaut, we have to get the power level difference over 500. It's the only way to free Tigrerra and her partner from the mind control they're under." Speedrose informed.

"Understood." Aranaut said. "I won't stop fighting until we save our comrades from these scoundrels."

"Geez, you take over a few minds. What a whiner." Josin said. "Ability Activate, Frightening Slinger!" Lynxer positioned his back and shot energy needles. His power rose to 1200 while Speedrose's dropped to 900.

"Ability Activate, Light Wave!" Fabia said. Aranaut formed a screen and was able to block the attack as their power levels switched back. "Ability Activate, Spiral Glowdown!" Aranaut jumped up with his power going up to 1500.

"Ability Activate, Hyper Velocity Fang!" Runo said. Tigrerra's blades grew out and she went to meet the attack. Aranaut spun down to kick Tigrerra. The two of them moved past each other, but Aranaut was the one dropping down as his power dropped to 900.

"It's going to take more than that to keep me down." Aranaut said.

"How about this? Ability Activate, Fazer Whisk!" Josin said. Lynxer shot out tendrils of light and they blasted Speedrose and his power was dropping to 800. "I have you now."

"Think again. Gate Card Open!" Koji said. "Reversal Energy! This command card switches the power level of all bakugan. Since three of them are the same, there only leaves one." Speedrose's and Lynxer's power levels switched around. "Ability Activate, Rev Flush!" Speedrose emitted a bright light that blinded Tigrerra and Lynxer while at the same time it increased Speedrose's and Aranaut's power to 1100.

"You're mine!" Aranaut said as he gave Lynxer a strong kick and took him out.

"Josin's life gage 0."

"No!" Josin said.

"Now to save Tigrerra and Runo." Koji said.

"I've got it. Ability Activate, Aurora Impact!" Fabia said. Aranaut unleashed a rainbow light that dropped Tigrerra's power to 500.

"You better counter that." Josin said.

"I don't think so. Ability Activate, Speed Trapper!" Koji said. Speedrose shot laser from his thrusters and Tigrerra found herself unable to move. "That ability stops you from using your other abilities. Finish this! Ability Activate, Spiral Lightning!" Speedrose's power rose to 1600 and shot out blasts of light. Tigrerra got blasted and was taken out and she went over to Koji with him catching her.

"Oh no!" Josin said. Runo screamed and dropped to her knees. "Time to go." He said as he made a run for it.

"Koji!" Koji and Fabia looked over and saw all the others arrived. Runo was beginning to regain herself and looked confused.

"What? What happened to me?" Runo said.

"Runo!" Julie called out as she ran straight to her.

"Julie?" Runo questioned as she wondered what was going on.

"We heard the battle. Are you alright?" Takuya asked. Koji nodded his head and Takuya noticed Fabia. "Who's she?"

"Meet Fabia. She comes from some place called Neathia." Koji said.

"You must be the Fabia Dan told me about." Mira said.

"That's right." Fabia said. "You must be Mira Fermin. When I received your message, I got here as soon as I could."

"So you're one of Dan's friends. Thanks for coming to help us." T.K. said.

"This is awesome! It looks like we got Runo back." Davis said. "That's two down and only four to go."

"That might be true, but our troubles aren't over." Yolei said. "We might be able to save Alice, but we don't know what we're going to do about the boys. We're far from over." The struggle continues and so does the agony. Who will make a real difference?

(Koichi) I'm tired of sitting by and do nothing, but there isn't anything I can do. All I can do is watch as Nikki tries her best to take on two opponents at once and she gets into deep trouble. I wish there was something I can do, but how without a bakugan? Bakugan Brawl! Is that how you say it?
