Before we start this one, just a quick shout-out to some people:
1) To Mega M: That's very true, also many Bakugan fanfic go unfinished, which is also upsetting. :(
2A) To Pyrus-Fusion-Drago020: About your PM. There's a slight problem. I already have the ending/final battle planned out (one of the first things I did before I wrote this whole thing). But that line really caught my attention and brought a chill up my spine, so I WILL try to squeeze it in :)
2B) To Pyrus-Fusion-Drago020: I'm also very honored that you mentioned my fic on your Google+, I think your the first person to ever do that outside my old site, so thanks :D
3) Bakuganfan01 and Vexos fans: The Vexos will be in this arc.
Now on with the show! And please review and vote on my poll, I'm closing it soon so don't miss your chance to speak up!
Drago [Commandix Dragonoid]: The Bakugan Battle Brawlers in: The Shadowy Truth
"Ability, activate! Pyrus Jet Attack!" Said Dan. Currently, he and Drago are training in the real world far away from the city in a desert-like area. Drago, in his new Commandix Armor, cloaked himself in flames and charged at a boulder in mid-air, sending pieces everywhere. "Ka-Bam! 5 points!" Said Scorpio, in Bakugan Form. He was tossing boulders in the air as targets. "Hmm... nah. I'd say 3, maybe 4" said Razenoid, also in Bakugan Form. "Drago, try some multiple targets" said Dragonoid Colossus, in Bakugan Form as well, whipping 5 boulders at once with his tail. "I'm gonna need some speed... Dragon Spur!" Said Drago, destroying each boulder simultaneously. Suddenly, a surprise boulder came from behind Drago. He turned around and attacked it with a blast of fire from his mouth. Looking down from the air, he saw Apollonir in Bakugan Form too. "20 point bonus for surprise attack" said Apollonir. "Hey, I'm the one keeping score here!" Said Razenoid. Just then, Dan's BakuMeter started beeping.
"Hello?" Asked Dan. "DANIEL KUSO, WHY ARE YOU NOT RESTING?!" Screamed Runo, making the TV/your computer screen vibrate. "Oh, busted" said Scorpio. "Runo, would you cut it out? I'm fine!" Assured Dan. "That's not what the doctor said, he specifically told you: no brawling for a day or two!" Said Runo. "I did, yesterday and... uh... Runo, your hair looks great! What'd you do different?" Asked Dan, stalling. "Why the mood change?" Asked Dragonoid Colossus. "Gentle-Bakugan, winner of the Nobel Excuse Prize" said Drago. "Oh, thank you Dan. I...{realizes} YOU CAN'T SEE ON A BAKUMETER! WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, JULIE?!" Said Runo. "You sure he wasn't runner-up?" Asked Razenoid. As Dan and Runo kept arguing, Joe's voice cut them off. "Uh, I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" He asked. "No, I was just hanging up" snapped Runo, hanging up. "Ok, I'll tell her later" said Joe. "Tell her what?" Asked Dan. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, just come to Bakugan Interspace right away" said Joe. "Roger that {hangs up}. Come on guys, let's roll" said Dan.
Dan entered the main control room upon his arrival. Everyone was there except for Joe, the one who called them. "Where is Joe anyway?" Asked Julie. "I'm not sure, he was here a minute ago" said Mira. "We know" said Betadron. "He told us he was going to the bathroom" said Worton. "See, I told ya! Joe-Bro had a take a leak" said Jake. "Ah professor, Betadron. Glad your feeling better" said Drago, flying over to them. Just then, everyone heard: "Joe, Joe, Joe" silently. Then it got louder, and louder, and... BAM! Joe bashed through the door with a nervous look. He was trying to close it from a group of screaming girls. "Joe, can I have your autograph?" "JOE! Will you go out with me?!" "Joe, it's been so long!" said the girls. Eventually, he managed to close the door with his hands, but the girls kept banging on it for a while. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he greeted the brawlers. "H-hey guys... phew... sorry I'm late" he said, taking a seat at his desk. "So, what'd you call us for?" Asked Shun. "It's not about how to get a girlfriend, is it?" Gunz joked. "Har, har. No Gunz, it's about that brawl with Dylan. I was looking over the security footage and found this!" Said Joe, pulling up several pictures of that brawl. A shadowy form not belonging to anyone there was present in almost each one!
'Hey, I remember that! That was when Dylan's Breezak froze Helios and Drago! The shadow protected them" said Baron. "And that's when our Reelrock Buster/Dragon NR Gear combo was almost blocked, but it took out that overgrown mole first" said Helios. "And that's when Dylan went bonkers! That shadow sliced through him! Huh? Drago, you ok?" Said Dan, noticing Drago was just staring at all the pictures. " ... That's it" said Drago. "What's it?" Asked Dan. "That's the same being that told me about the Commandix Armor! I guess he was the one who somehow put me in the battlefield too" said Drago. "But how did you see it?" Asked Ingram. "Yeah! This is the first we saw it" said Radizen. "It came to me, in a vision. I couldn't make out any details, just that it was a humanoid Bakugan with wings" said Drago. Everyone looked at Betadron and Worton. "Don't look at me, I was being controlled" said Betadron. "We don't even remember battling you, just bits and pieces" said Worton. As they were all talking, Slash came out and pointed to something on one of the pictures. "Master Shun, what's this?" Asked Slash. Shun came over to look, but he didn't know. "It looks like... a stick with a curved pencil on it!" Said Amazon. "It's called a scythe. Like the kind that Grim Reapers use" said Clayf. After all that, the brawlers still had one question: Is this shadow on our side?
