Alpha City is down, we have successfully completed that much. Now, we've got the Vexos a bit scared, and our team is now much larger. We're going to have to keep this up though!
Powers beyond reality,
Brought about by few.
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.
"According to this, Beta city is just past these mountains." Said Ace. We were travelling along in the base. "Adjust course for rough terrain."
"You got it Ace." Said Baron, as he typed something. Marucho walked in carrying a platter of cups.
"I thought you guys might be thirsty." Said Marucho.
"Thnks buddy." Said Dan. He grabbed one, and turned. "Next stop, Beta City and its dimension controller!" I grabbed one, thanked Marucho then held my cup up as well.
"Expect the unexpected Dan, something is coming." I said. Then, Dan took a drink of the hot water. He spit it out.
"Hey!" Said Mira. "Watch the console, it doesn't need a bath!"
"Sorry." Said Dan sheepishly. I merely smirked and took a sip of mine. Then Dan went over to Shun. "Hey Shun, have you ever noticed that Mira sounds just like Runo?"
"Kinda." He replied.
"Check it out Runo!" Said Julie as she rolled in. "I just got another postcard from Billy!" Then she looked at the postcard. "Hmm, it says. Wow! Billy's moved onto Africa! He's building schools and digging wells." Then she gasped and turned. "Are you even listening Runo?" Runo stood up.
"That's it!" She yelled. Julie gasped again. "I'm going to New Vestroia to find Dan!"
"I have had enough of this, Spectra!" Said Prince Hydron, looking at a video feed of Alpha City. "First of all, you still have not delivered the Dragonoids to me!"
Spectra materialised on a screen. "Sire, there have been difficulties."
"And now a Dimension Controller has been destroyed!" Said Hydron as he twirled his hair. "It's all because of those humans, Dan and Atom, and the Resistance." Then he stopped twirling his hair, and closed his eyes. "It's so simple. Get rid of the Humans and the Dragonoids will be mine." Then he looked up. "Get it done, Spectra."
"How long have you been thinking about this?" Asked Julie. They were in the foyer of Marucho's house.
"Since forever! Okay?"
"Ok! How come you didn't want to talk to me about it?" Asked Julie. Runo just growled. Julie turned to Runo. "You're not really serious about going, are you?"
"Yes, I am!"
"But, how will you get there?"
"Stop asking questions!" Yelled Runo. Then Kato came in. "Just let me do the talking, ok?"
Kato walked over to them. "Well well well, this is an unexpected surprise. Is there something I can do for you young ladies?"
"Yes Kato." Said Runo. "You can take us to Dr. Michael's lab in Moscow."
"Moscow?" They quickly get set up, and were soon taking off.
"Thanks you so much Kato!" Yelled Runo.
"My pleasure, Miss Runo." Said Kato on the screen. "Anything for a friend of Master Marucho. I will connect you now with Miss Alice in Moscow." Kato disappeared from the screen, only to be replaced by Alice.
"Alice!" Said Runo. "It's so good to see you!"
"Julie! Runo! What a surprise!" Said Alice. "Are Dan and the rest of the team with you guys too?"
"No, it's just us." Said Runo. "And we really need Dr. Michael's help."
"My grandfather?" Asked Alice.
"You see, Dan, Atom and Marucho went to New Vestroia with Drago."
"Finally! I have finished the repairs to the dimensions transporter." Said Dr. Michael. "Now to test it, and see if it works."
"Grandfather!" Said Alice as the she walked in.
"What is it my child?"
"It's Dan and Atom. Dan, Atom and Marucho have gone to New Vestroia to help Drago. There's some kind of trouble there!"
"When did this happen Alice?"
"I'm not sure, Grandfather. But Runo said that Drago told them that aliens have captured all the Bakugan."
Dr. Michael turned. "Aliens. So that's what happened."
Alice gasped. "What grandfather?"
"The dimension gate between our world and New Vestroia wasn't supposed to open again. But I've noticed recently that it's become very unstable. An alien invasion would explain that. Let's just hope I managed to fix the transporter." Dr. Michael went to get it ready for testing.
"I hope Dan, Atom, Marucho, and the Bakugan are going to be alright." Said Alice.
"First, we'll test it with this doll." Said Dr. Michael. He placed a small doll inside. "Alice, I'll need your help." Alice turned and ran to the console. Dr. Michael had just put some goggles on, and handed her a pair. He typed a few things onto the console, and the giant doors of the transporter system closed. An image of the doll appeared on the screen. Then, a gate opened behind it.
"Set Co-ordinates." Said Dr. Michael. Then he turned to the transporter, and it began to glow. It powered up, and made a loud, high pitched noise. It then became blindingly bright. In New Vestroia, the dimensional barrier cracked. "The gate should be opening. It should be opening right now." Said Dr. Michael. Then, the glow died down. The crack in Vestroia burst, and cards fell from the gap. Alice and Dr. Michael walked up to the transporter, and looked inside. The doll was still there. "Still not working." Then a helicopter could be heard.
Alice gapsed. "They're here." Marucho's family plane landed, and the hatch opened. Alice was waiting outside. "Runo! Julie!"
"Alice!" They both said. They all ran to each other, and hugged.
Cards were raining down around the Vestal Destroyer. Spectra walked out, and grabbed one from midair. The green glow stopped, and it revealed itself to be an Earth gate card. "A gate card?"
"So you see? I've got to get to New Vestroia!" Said Runo. They were all inside the Lab.
"It isn't safe." Said Dr. Michael. "The Transporter isn't fixed yet." He held up the testing doll. "If it wasn't powerful enough to transport this doll, it certainly won't be powerful enough to for you."
"Oh please?" Asked Julie. "This is so important! Can we give it a try?"
"My dear, with the dimension gate so unstable, if Runo were to get caught between dimensions, I'm not sure I could bring her home again. Then, she would be lost, for eternity."
"But." Said Runo. She held her head down. "I'd be willing to take that risk."
"Oh Runo." Said Alice. "Don't be silly. Let's have dinner, and catch up. Then get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning we'll figure something out, I promise."
Runo smiled. "Sure. Sounds good."
"Interesting." Said Professor Clay. "I've never seen this gate card before. You say it fell from the sky?"
"Yes, and there were others." Said Gus.
"Here comes the realization." Said Azion.
"Just as I suspected." Said Professor Clay.
"What is happening?" Asked Gus.
"This card probably came from the human world." Said Professor Clay.
"But why are they here?" Asked Spectra.
"On Earth, energy can transform into gate cards. Someone from the human world must be trying to pass through the gate to New Vestroia."
"Then we'll welcome them." Said Spectra. "And surprise Dan Kuso while we're at it." He thought.
"So Julie, now you're working at Runo's family cafe?" Asked Alice.
"Yeah! Runo's dad says that business has increased 50 percent since I started!" Then she stood. "It must be my sparkling personality!"
"Right!" Yelled Runo. "Dream on Julie!" Then the group laughed. Soon, Runo stopped laughing. Alice stopped laughing as well, and noticed Runo. "Oh Runo." She thought. Soon, dinner was done. Julie went to sleep on the couch, and Runo and Alice did the dishes.
"You know Runo, this reminds me of the time when I used to work in your Cafe."
"Oh yeah?" Asked Runo. Alice turned to face her.
"Don't worry about Dan. He'll be fine."
"I'm not worried about Dan! Everything is perfectly fine. Couldn't be better." She closed her eyes, then soon cried.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Said Alice. "I know this is hard for you." Julie was awake, listening to the conversation.
We were eating outside the trailer. Dan and Baron were scarfing down the food, while the rest of us ate a little more calmly. "Guys." Said Mira. "Do you really have to make so much noise when you eat?"
"Runo used to say that too." Said Dan.
"Who's Runo?" Asked Mira.
"I know that name!" Said Baron. "Runo was one of the original seven bakugan brawlers. Am I right Master Dan?" He quickly put his face in Dan's.
"Baron never gets old with his love for the original." I said to Tom.
"Yeah, he never does."
"Right." Said Dan.
"You miss her?" Asked Mira as Dan was drinking some water. He spit out the water very quickly.
"You sound jealous." Said Ace.
"I just like to know where I stand." Then Mira turned back to Dan. "She's your girlfriend?"
"No she's not!" Said Dan.
"That's not what I heard from Runo!" Said Marucho.
"Marucho!" Then Drago flew onto the table.
"She's not?" He asked.
"No she's not!" Yelled Dan. "I don't know where you guys get these ideas! Right Shun?"
Shun calmly lowered his glass. "She's not?" Dan fell over.
"Atom! A little help please?" He asked.
"I can't argue it because it's true." I replied with a laugh.
"Runo, this is nuts!" Said Julie. They were walking outside of the Lab, while Alice and Dr. Michael slept. "How are we going to get into the Lab?"
"Easy." They had stopped in front of a window. "I unlocked the window yesterday before we left." She lifted the glass. They soon were inside.
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Said Julie. "Dr. Michael said that the transporter is still broken! What if we can't get it to work?"
"It'll work." Argued Runo.
"But Dr. Michael said!"
"Forget what Dr. Michael said!" Yelled Runo. "I'm going. I've made up my mind, Julie. I can't just wait around for them to come back! That's why you're going to zap me to New Vestroia, got it?" Julie quickly ran over to the console, while Runo walked into the transporter. "Let's crank this baby up." She said. "New Vestroia, here I come."
"Ok, ok! Hang on a sec. I'm trying to figure out how this thing works." Said Julie. She looked over the massive number of buttons on the console, looked at the instruction book, then looked back to the transporter, and looked back to the Console. She tentatively pressed a green button. "You look like an 'on' button." The doors closed, trapping Runo inside the transporter. Then her image came up on screen. "Ok, step two. Activate the blue thing a ma bob." The transporter then began to power up. "Then we turn this doohickey, and press the thingy." The transporter continued to power up. "And then I press the transporter button. But," Julie hesitated.
"Go! Punch it!" Yelled Runo.
Rainbow colors were all over the place inside the trailer. I was awake, with Tom. I quickly ran to Dan and Marucho's room when I heard Runo's voice.
"Come on Julie!" Yelled Runo.
"Quiet Runo." Mumbled Dan. Then he bolted awake. "All right already, I'm up." I entered the room.
"What's with all the noise Dan?" Asked Marucho. "It's the middle of the night."
"You might want to get up." I said. Down the hall, Shun exited his room. Tom ran into him.
"Runo, I don't think this is safe!" Said Julie.
"Julie?" Asked Shun.
"Yes, it is." Said Tom.
"I'll take that risk!" Yelled Runo as the four of us ran out of the trailer. Tom went to wake Ace, Mira and Baron. "Just hit the switch!"
"It's coming from everywhere!" Said Shun.
"Is that Runo?" Asked Dan.
"It's about to get worse." I said.
"But, what if I read the instructions wrong?" Asked Julie. "You could get hurt!"
"That's Julie's voice!" Said Marucho. "This is too creepy." Then the other four ran out.
"What, what's going on?" Asked Mira.
"I thought I was dreaming, but it's real!" Said Dan.
"Stop talking, let's have lift off! I could've been there already!" Yelled Runo.
"What is that voice?" Asked Spectra.
"Perhaps it's an effect of the weakening dimensional barrier." Said Professor Clay. "Like the gate cards earlier. The wall between New Vestroia and Earth is Damaged. We're hearing voices from the human world."
"And that Voice is Runo from the original seven." Said Azion.
"I don't know. Maybe we should stop this while we still can, Runo." Said Julie.
"That is one annoying voice." Said Shadow, as he and Mylene flew over Beta City.
"Don't bail on my Julie!" Said Runo. Volt and Lync heard her.
"Dan needs my help!" She finished as Prince Hydron leaned forwards.
"Friends of that human?" He asked.
"Julie!" Yelled Runo on the screen.
"But Runo!" Argued Julie. Alice and Dr. Michael ran in.
"Julie! Stop!" Said Dr. Michael. "Have you girls lost your minds?"
"It's now or never!" Said Runo.
"Julie, you mustn't!" Said Alice as she lunged towards Julie.
"Julie! I need to help Dan!" Said Runo, as she looked down. Alice stopped running. "Please!"
"Okay Runo!" Yelled Julie. Then, she pressed the Red transport button. The glow from the transporter grew, and Runo screamed. Then, as the glow died, so did the scream. When Julie looked back to the screen, Runo was no longer there.
"Runo!" Said Alice.
"She's gone, Alice." Said Julie.
"You mean, it worked?" Asked Dr. Michael.
"Am I going crazy guys?" Asked Dan.
"Dan!" Said Runo. Dan turned quickly and saw her, but she didn't look quite right.
"Runo!" Exclaimed Dan. The rest of us turned.
"No way!" Said Marucho.
"That's Runo?" Asked Mira.
"Runo, you never give up, do you?" Asked Dan.
"That's an understatement." I said.
"You doofus!" Said Runo. "Why did you ditch us?" Then she ran forward to hug Dan, and went right through him.
"Julie, you remember the coordinates you used?" Then Dr. Michael looked up. "No. The transport is incomplete." Alice gasped.
"Are you sure?" Asked Julie. "I saw her disappear!"
Dr. Michael turned. "According to these readings, Runo was transported. But, she's trapped between here and New Vestroia."
The colors were going again around us. "We have to find a way to save her before it's too late." Continued Dr. Michael.
"Once the dimensional gateway closes completely," He continued. Spectra, Gus, Azion and Professor Clay were listening in.
"I'm afraid she'll be lost between worlds" Shadow was grinning.
"Forever." Lync and Volt we listening.
"I think it would be best, if we made sure that this friend of Dan Kuso stayed trapped in the dimensional gap for good." Said Prince Hydron. Then, he typed in a few keys onto the arm of his chair. "Who is the closest to the gate's location?" Asked Hydron.
Shadow showed up on screen. "I am, oh great and powerful majesty." Laughed Shadow.
"Shadow, keep the brawlers away from the girl and I may forgive your disrespect."
"Well, at least I finally got to see you Dan." Said Runo. They tried to grab each others hands.
"We're not giving up!" Yelled Dan.
"That's right." I said. "Dr. Michael, I assume you have an idea?"
"Dr. Michael! Can you hear me? How do we save her?" The rainbow lights started again.
"Dan? Is that you?" Asked Dr. Michael
"It's me, Doc. I'm here!"
"I'm sending you coordinates! Bring Runo there immediately!"
"You got it!" Said Dan. then he faced Runo. "Come on, Runo."
"Right."
"We need to hurry." I said.
"Destiny awaits." Said Spectra.
"Yes sir." Said Both Azion and Gus.
Lync watched as Spectra, Gus and Azion left in one of the air crafts. "Spectra, Gus and Azion left too. My lord Hydron." He whispered.
"The gate is due west of that mountain." Said Dan. Then he saw a bright light. "That's it!"
"Then let's go." Said Shun. Dan turned. "Before the gate closes."
"Okay then." Said Dan, then he turned to Runo. "Let's do this." He ran off, with Runo following him. She stopped in front of Shun.
"How did you get to New Vestroia? I mean, in one piece." She looked down, then back up. "Sorry. I'm glad you're here with him."
"Me too Runo." Then Runo ran off following Dan.
"You ready?" I asked Tom.
"You bet." I ran off after them. The three of us were soon running towards the gate.
"Step on it Runo, we can make it!"
"I'm hurrying!" Replied Runo. "I'm sorry Dan. I came to help, but I just made everything worse!"
"No worries Runo." Said Dan as he looked behind himself. "Me and Atom shouldn't have ditched you guys in the first place. It's all our fault." Drago levitated up, and opened. Leonidas did the same.
"No, we told them to leave you behind." Said Drago.
"Our apologies." Agreed Leonidas.
"We all hugged. Happily ever after, not!" Said Shadow as he jumped down in front of the gate. "Sorry kiddies, this ride is closed!"
"Shadow Prove, get out of my way!" Said Dan.
Shadow laughed. "Who's going to make me move, scrawny?" Then he equipped his gauntlet.
"Shows what you know." I said. Dan seemed ready to attack.
"Dan! Wait!" Said Marucho. Dan turned, and saw the rest of the group come through. "Just get to the gate, I'll take care of Shadow Prove!" Then he turned to face Dan. "You don't have time to waste on a guy in fur and tights."
"You're the best pal." Said Dan.
"I know, now go!" Dan and Runo quickly ran towards the gate, with me trailing behind a little.
"Marucho, I wish there was a way I could help, but this is all you." I said. Dan and Runo ran past Shadow, while he and Marucho held up activation cards.
"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" They both yelled.
"Gate Card, Set!" Said Prove. "Bakugan Brawl! Darkus Silfee!" It opened, and roared.
"You ready to roll, Elfin?" Asked Marucho.
"You better believe it, Marucho!" She replied.
"Bakugan, Brawl! Elfin Stand!" Yelled Marucho.
"Sun, wind, and rain combined! Let Aquos Elfin appear! You're in trouble now." She leaned forwards. "Hey! Where are you going? I'm talking to you!" Silfee was diving after Dan and Runo. Dan and Runo dove to the left to avoid the Bakugan.
"Get down!" Said Dan.
Shadow laughed. "How do you like that? Silfee can attack anything within the battlefield, including Dan and the whiny girl!"
"That's cheating!" Said Marucho. "Bakugan aren't supposed to be used against human brawlers!"
"Powering up the gauntlets returned all our Bakugan to ball form." Complained Ace. "They're helpless! That's pretty clever, who knew Shadow Prove had a brain underneath all that hair gel?"
"Hurts to lose, doesn't it?" Asked Shadow. "Silfee, let's turn up the heat!" Silfee launched a large, purple fireball at Dan and Runo, it passed through Runo, and caused an explosion. Dan was knocked backwards. Runo emerged from the dust unharmed, but Dan was on the ground, back up. Runo went over to him.
"Dan? Dan?" She asked.
"Elfin, we've got to protect Runo and Dan." Said Marucho.
"You got it! I'm ready to pulverise! I can't believe those cheaters totally ignored me!" Elfin ran towards Silfee.
"Count me in." Said Ace. "First of all!"
"Hold it Ace." Said Shun, as he placed a hand on Ace's shoulder. "Summoning another Bakugan might be dangerous."
"What do you mean?"
"What he means is that if you launch another Bakugan in, it could destabilise the Gate, and close it." Said Tom.
Ace growled. "This bites." The group looked at the gate, as it was making strange noises.
"I've dreamed of the world beyond that gate, Nemus." Said Baron. Nemus opened on his shoulder.
"Reality seldom matches our dreams."
"Take it from me." Said Tom.
"I guess you're right. Just thinking." Said Baron.
Dan was getting up, and Runo was still over him. "Are you Ok, Dan?" She asked.
"Don't worry about me! Get to the gate!" Said Dan. He pointed. It was beginning to shrink. "Hurry! It's starting to close!"
"I'll find you again." Said Runo as she ran towards the gate.
Spectra, Gus and Azion were hiding behind a rock. "Prince Hydron is afraid of Earth, but I'm intrigued." Then Spectra turned to Gus and Azion. "There's no guarantee that we'll be able to return. You don't have to come with me, you know."
"Oh, I'm going too. Where you go, I go, master Spectra." Said Gus.
"That goes double for me." Said Azion.
Runo had gotten to the gate, and she turned around. "Dan?"
Dan turned to Runo. "Go on! Just go!" He said. Runo nodded, then jumped through the Gate. Then, Spectra, Gus and Azion ran up to the gate. Lync walked in front of them.
"Lync?" Asked Spectra.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Prince Hydron commanding us to go to the human world, great Spectra."
"Which begs the question why are you here?" Countered Spectra.
"Who knows what kind of trouble you'd get into if I left the three of you alone."
"Do what you like, we're going through." Said Spectra. Then he, Gus, and Azion jumped into the gate. Lync ran in after them.
"Gotta stop them!" Said Dan, as he got up. "Let's go!" He began to run towards the gate, and I kept pace with him. He looked at me funnily.
"Azion went through. Who knows what he would do."
"Right." Baron was looking on, then he turned to Nemus.
"Looks like we're going on a trip, Nemus." Said Baron. Nemus closed, and Baron grabbed him. He then began to run towards the gate as well.
"I'm coming Runo!" Said Dan as he jumped in.
"Azion, don't do anything stupid!" I said as I jumped in.
"This is a bad idea!" Said Mira as she jumped through.
"Wait for me!" Said Baron. He jumped in after us. Then, the gate closed behind us.
Well, we've gone through. We meet up with Runo, Alice, Julie and Dr. Michael on the other side, but trouble comes in soon after. Spectra grabs Runo, and we all go on a hunt for him. When we find him, he tries to convert us. However, Dan is far too stubborn to fall for it. We manage to get Spectra, Gus and Azion into the transport system, but Lync is left behind. What's worse, we can't even go back now! Looks like we're stuck here for a while.
