We've just met the Six Legendary warriors, and we leave soon after. We have all beaten our tests.

"You have all passed your tests." Said Clayf.

"So you are all free." .Continued Frosh.

"But be warned, for many dangers approach." Continued Oberus.

"This is just the first trial of many."

"You must be prepared." Finished Apollonir.

Powers beyond reality,

Brought about by one.

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.

We streaked across the Doom Dimension, each of us in our respective attributic colors. We soon found ourselves back in the real world, albeit with a lot of soreness from the fall. We groaned as we rose.

"Is everybody back?" Asked Marucho.

"Yeah, I think so." Said Runo.

"I'm in one piece." Commented Shun.

"Has anyone seen Dan?" I asked. Then he fell from a tree.

"Wow, that hurt!" He exclaimed.

"Ok, we're all here." Said Marucho.

"Of course we are." Said Diablo. "We'll never get accidentally split up!"

"Oh, brother Dear. Please tone down." Said Angelo.

"Who asked you?" Said Diablo.

"Will you guys can it, please!" Said Preyas.

"Yeah, come on. No need to fight." Said Marucho.

"So, Preyas evolved too?" Asked Runo.

"Yep."

"So did Gorem! In he just the cutest?"

"Ah, Julie. Not in front of everybody." Said Gorem as he closed.

"Skyress is evolved too." Said Shun.

"Hey, don't forget about me!" Shouted Leonidas. "I've evolved too!"

"Yeah, Leo. We know." I turned towards Dan. "How about Drago? Did he evolve?"

Dan seemed a bit surprised. "Yeah, yeah of course. Right Drago?"

"Hrm, oh, yeah."

"Hey Drago, you don't sound that good. Are you sure you're ok?" Asked Preyas.

"It's probably just growing pains from evolving." Said Diablo.

"Right." Said Drago. Then our Bakupods beeped.

"Hey guys. You're back. I couldn't reach you!"

"What's up Joe?" asked Dan.

"Come over to my house and see!" Then a map got pulled up.

"Well, no time like the present." I said, as I rushed off.

"Quickly, we need to catch him!" Said Marucho, as the rest of the gang raced after me. We soon found ourselves at Joe's home. When we knocked, his mom answered.

"Oh, hello everybody. Joe's in the living room." We all filed in, and I thanked her for letting us in. We soon found Joe with a strange Bakugan on his shoulder.

"Hey guys!" Said Joe. "Sorry I haven't contacted you in a while, but my mom took me on a trip around the world to see the sights, and now we're living here."

"That's awesome Joe." Said Dan. "But who's the bakugan?"

"Wait, she looks familiar." Said Drago.

"And why shouldn't I Dragoruny?" Asked the Bakugan.

"Wavern, is that you?"

"Yes Drago." Said Wavern as she opened. "It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"Wavern, it is you!"

"Yeah, she has helped me more than I know." Said Joe. "She was the one who healed me."

"She did? How?" Asked Drago.

"It's the infinity core, Drago. When Naga took the Silent Core, the resulting explosion thrust the Infinity core to me. It smashed through the Dimensional Barrier and brought me with it. Now, it resides within me."

"That's amazing." Said Leonidas.

"Not really. It's the very basic thing for the Infinity Core, the ability to heal." I said. "It's the more advanced things it can do that are amazing."

"Yes, this human is right. The Infinity Core can do so much more. But how did he know?"

"Easy, I'm a reality shifter. In my Reality, this entire timeline was a TV show."

"Interesting. Joe, did you know that?"

"Yes Wavern, I did." Then Joe looked at us. "Wavern here helped me while you guys were Missing."

"How so?" Asked Dan.

"Well, she was able to defeat Masquerade by herself."

"What?" Asked Everybody but me.

"Yeah, she was able to turn the tables on Masquerade."

"It was the power of the Infinity Core. The more negative energy sent at it, the more powerful it becomes."

"Wow, now that's something I didn't expect." Said Drago.

"Something I didn't expect is you being a Delta Dragonoid, Dragoruny."

"Wait! Drago didn't evolve? Dan, you passed your test, right?"

"Well, yeah. Sort of." He sighed. "Apollonir said that I didn't learn anything, and that my test isn't over yet. I need to defeat all of the Battle Brawlers in order to get Drago to evolve."

Everybody gasped but me. "Dan, how many clowns did you see in the theater?"

"I saw a copy of Runo, Marucho, Shun, and Julie."

"Hold on Dan, I think you are forgetting one."

"Oh, yeah. There was a copy of you too, Atom."

"Well then. That's just great. Dan, you need to defeat everybody you saw."

"Wait, what?"

"You heard me. You need to defeat all of the battle brawlers that have Bakugan, and because I became part of the group, you also need to defeat me."

"You have got to be kidding me! I can assume that Leonidas has evolved."

"Yes, he has." Said Tom.

"Hold on, when did he get here?" Asked Dan.

"He came with me." I said. "My test was to reconnect with Tom, and break him of his darkness. That meant that I had to attempt to let him win."

"So, you guys are friends now?"

"We've never stopped being friends. I just let my anger to him get the better of me. It made me more susceptible to Naga's control, when the Dimensional Transporter System broke."

"Wait, you were there when the system broke?" I asked.

"Yeah. I had been there for a while, because I couldn't leave this reality. I was hoping the research would help me get back, but all it did was lead me to darkness."

I began pondering. If Tom could be consumed by his darkness, what was to stop the others from being consumed?

"Hey, Atom. Are you ok? You seem to be thinking pretty hard about something."

"What? Oh, nothing. I was just trying to figure out who Dan was going to battle first."

"Yes, that is a conundrum. Dan does need to beat all of us in order to get Drago to evolve." Marucho fiddled with his BakuPod. "And current rankings show Dan at, Wow! fourth place! It seems that Shun is in third, and Atom is in Second. Masquerade is still in first though."

"Believe me, if Dan beats all of us, then Masquerade will be knocked off his pedestal."

Everybody looked at me. "What? All I'm saying is that after Dan beats all of us, he would be in second place, right?"

"That's right. Dan would be in second, but he needs to do you guys in order. Julie would have to be first, because she is the lowest ranked." Said Joe.

"Well, Dan? I'm ready whenever you are." Said Julie.

"Now right here Julie!" said Joe. "We're still indoors!"

"Oh, fine. Let's go out back. We should be getting this done now!"

Masquerade was sitting by his computer in his basement.

"Hal-G. I have a question."

Hal-G's head formed out of the wall. "What is it Masquerade?"

"It's about the transport card you gave me. Tell me, would it work in the Doom Dimension?"

"Of course, it's what it was designed for." Hal- G disappeared. Masquerade laughed a little.

"Ready Dan?"

"Sure thing, Julie."

"Ok, this is going to be a 1 on 1 brawl. 1 Bakugan each. Do you understand the rules?" Said Joe.

"Yep. I got it."

"Same here." Said Julie.

"Field, Open!" We all said it so that we wouldn't be left out.

"Gate Card, Set!" The gates grew.

"I'll go first!" Said Julie. "Bakugan, Brawl! Let's do this Gorem!"

"I'm ready Julie. Let's do this."

"Ok, you ready buddy?" Asked Dan.

"Always." Replied Drago.

"Bakugan, Brawl! Bring the heat Drago!"

The battle ensued soon after. Gorem got Julie and put her on his shoulder, then they attacked.

"Ability, activate! Grand Impact!"

Gorem's hammer got assembled, and was thrown at Drago. He dodged it, but it hit him on the way back.

"Got you."

"Not bad, Gorem. But not good enough to take me down."

"We're just getting started. Ability, activate! Tauros Hammer!"

"Hagh!" Grunted Gorem.

"Dan, a little help please!"

"No problem. Ability, Activate. D Strike Attack! That should even the odds a bit."

"Now then, for the final." Dan started. Then he had a flash. If he used the fusion ability, then Julie would be caught in the blast as well. "I can't do it."

"Dan, what's wrong?"

"Drago, what's with Julie riding on Gorem's shoulder?"

"I see what you mean. If we attack, Julie goes down too."

"What are you waiting for Dan?" Asked Julie. "Win already!"

"I can't! If I do, you go down as well!"

"Don't worry about me Dan, just focus! You need to win!"

"But!"

"No buts mister!"

Dan scowled. "Ability Activate! D Strike, Extreme!" Dozens of Fireballs began raining down, and one hit Gorem, returning him to ball form. "Julie!" Screamed Dan, as he jumped down from Drago. He caught her before she hit the ground, and the field closed.

"Julie, Julie! Are you ok?" Julie began to wake up.

"Did you win?" She asked.

"Yes, I did."

"Good." Julie then stood up. Dan almost fell over from shock. "Alright, who's next?"

"That would be me, Julie." Said Marucho. "Are you ready Dan?"

"Of course!"

"Field Open!" Only Dan and Marucho opened the field, and it closed the moment after.

"Good job, Dan."

"Ok Shun, are you ready?" Asked Dan panting.

"Yes I am, but not today. You're tired Dan, and you need your rest. We'll do it tomorrow."

"Fine, Shun. But be ready." We all parted ways then, Julie went with Marucho, Shun went back to his house, Runo walked back to the diner, and me and Dan walked back to his house."

Hey Guys, Dan here. Listen, I know I said that I was going to go for Shun next, but Runo comes and reminds me that I need to go in order. That means that she's next. Tune in to find out what happens next! See you there!
