LYNC: I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THIS STORY. 1. I ALWAYS LOSE! 2. YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT! 3. THAT'S A METHOD I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT YET!
MYLENE: GEEZ. CALM DOWN LYNC. YOU'RE SOMETIMES WORSE THAN HYDRON RUNNING OUT OF SHAMPOO.
HYDRON: AHHHHH! SHADOW!
SHADOW: WHAT?
HYDRON: DID YOU USE MY ROSE SILK-STRONG SHAMPOO? THE QUOTE IT SAYS ON THE BOTTLE IS: HAVE NICE HAIR, LIVE LIKE A PRINCE AND HAVE A GOOD LIFE.
GUS: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
SPECTRA: LIVING LIKE A SPOILT BRAT MORE LIKE...

SHADOW: WHAT? I COULDN'T FIND MY SHAMPOO AND THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND WAS THAT!
HYDRON: YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!
ME: ON WITH THE STORY!
It had been six months since New Vestroia was liberated from Vestal control and occupation. Things seemed to be returning to normal, when suddenly Mira came to visit thanks to Dr. Michael's Dimensional Transporter.
'Mira! It's been so long!' said Runo.
'Yeah! How have you been!' said Julie.
'Everything's been great on Vestal so far. Oh, I almost forgot!' Mira pulled out a brown and a yellow Gauntlet. 'Runo, Julie, I brought these for you from Vestal in case you ever wanted to battle again.'
Runo and Julie took the Gauntlets.
'Wow, thanks Mira!' said Runo.
'Yeah, now Gorem and I can kick some butt again.' Said Julie.
'So how's everyone else?' asked Dan.
'Now that the Bakugan are free, they must have a lot of spare time like us.' Said Marucho.
'Well, Baron's helping out his family. I think he's really enjoying his time with his brothers and sisters, but he misses all of you.'
'What about Ace and Arri?' asked Shun. It would be weird if he only asked about Arri and not Ace as well.
'To be honest, I haven't heard from them in a while.' Said Mira.
'Elfin, it's good to see you again.' Said Wilda.
'Wilda, long time no speak.'
'Hi there Wilda!' Preyas barged right in and knocked poor little Elfin over. 'My name's Preyas and thanks for saving me and for taking care of my little Elfin.' Preyas bowed in thanks to Wilda.
'What do you mean 'your little Elfin?'' Elfin got back up and began blushing. 'I'm not your little anything!' Elfin knocked Preyas over. 'And don't you know its rude to interrupt people when they're talking? Now where were we Wilda?'
'Guys, knock it off.' Said Marucho.
'He/She started it!' they both said, turning away from each other.
'So Mira, tell us what's happened after we parted way in New Vestroia.' Said Shun.
'Yeah, I've been dying to find out what happened to that creep Hydron and his Vexos goons.' Said Dan.
'Well where do I begin? When we got back to Vestal, the four of us were invited to go on the evening news and give our side of the story. Tons of rumors had started in Vestal on what was really happening while we were gone. So, we went in front of the cameras live to tell everyone the truth.'
'Tonight on a special edition of Vestal News we have here the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance, a group of kids who had been fighting to free New Vestroia from our occupation. Please tell us what really happened.' Said the host.
'King Zenoheld and Prince Hydron wanted all of you to believe that our occupation of New Vestroia was purely to alleviate our mass overpopulation. But his true intention was to conquer that world and enslave the Bakugan for pure entertainment in the form of the tournament battles. That is what the Vexos purpose was: to capture the Bakugan and brainwash them so they could only do battle in arenas for sport.' Said Mira.
'You mean the Bakugan aren't toys?' asked the host.
'They're far more than just toys.' Said Ace.
'And we've brought our partners to prove it.' Said Baron.
'Your partners? If you were fighting to free the Bakugan, why us them to your advantage in such a way? Would you not be doing exactly what you were fighting against?'
'Our partners allied with us because they, too, had the same desire. And we couldn't do it alone.' Said Mira.
'We are their friends and we fight together.' Said Wilda, opening onto the desk.
'What Mira says is true.' Said Nemus.
'Bakugan and Vestals aren't that different and we can live together in harmony.' Said Wilda.
'But justice must come to those who enslaved us.' Said Percival.
'I'm sure many of you are thinking 'Those Bakugan just spoke!' or 'That's impossible!' but I assure you it is possible. The Bakugan are living, breathing intelligent creatures and they don't deserve to be treated like slaves.' Said Mira.
'Many of you are no doubt shocked by all this information and our true nature, but only those who were willing to listen, could hear our cries.' Said Wilda.
'Of course the royal family immediately denied everything. They said the talking Bakugan was just some television trick.' Said Mira. 'Thankfully, everyone believed that we were telling the truth and they demanded that the royal family be brought to justice.'
'So what happened to them?' asked Shun.
'They disappeared one night under the cover of darkness.'
'You mean someone kidnapped them?' asked Ingram.
'I wish, they fled before they could be held accountable for their crimes. He, Hydron and the Vexos all escaped aboard the Royal Palace. By the time we realized what was going on, it was too late to stop them.'
'I can't believe Zenoheld is such a coward.' Said Marucho.
'Oh, he's no coward. He wouldn't flee just to hide. Just after he escaped, we learned that he had an even plan that would make him the ruler of everything and everyone.'
'What? That's crazy! We can't just sit back and let this happen?' cried Dan.
'Arri couldn't make it to the interview though. Her sister was having a wedding.'
'Arri? At a wedding? In a dress?!' Dan exploded laughing. They had to wait for a while before continuing their convesation.
'But how are we supposed to find him when we don't even know where he is? We'd end up wasting all our time just looking for him.' asked Shun.
'Well we aren't 100% sure. It would be a difficult task even for him to accomplish. Let's hope for our sakes that its only a rumour.'
'May I have your attention? We will be landing soon.' Said Kato over the intercom.
'Wow, is that your house Marucho?' cried Mira, seeing the large building from the plane's window.
'Yup!'
'If you think that's impressive, wait until you see what the inside is like.' Said Runo.
Marucho led everyone through his house as Mira stopped at every room, marveling at the sight of it.
'Tell me I'm not dreaming.' Said Mira.
'Don't worry, you're not. Everyone has this reaction the first time.' Said Shun.
'Well can you blame them?'
Marucho continued leading them until they reached a large dining room with tables stocked high with all sorts of food.
'I didn't what food you liked Mira, so I had my chefs prepare everything on their menu.' Said Marucho.
'This is wonderful, thank you Marucho!'
'Let's eat!' cried Julie.
'Take it easy Julie, this is Mira's party remember?' said Runo.
Everyone sat down to eat while they caught each other up on everything that had happened the past half year.
Suddenly, Drago's head shot up and his body began glowing red. 'What's happening to me?'
Wilda began glowing orange. 'I feel like I'm burning up.'
'I feel strange too! Preyas do you feel it?' asked Elfin, now glowing blue.
'No, not me.' He replied.
'Tigrerra do you feel it too?' asked Drago.
'No, I don't.' she replied.
'What's going on?' asked Dan.
'This is so strange. I've never felt anything like this before!' cried Ingram.
'Guys, Ingram doesn't look so good.' Said Shun.
A bright light emanated from the four Bakugan. Dan opened his eyes and found himself surrounded in a dark place filled with fog.
'Hey, where are we?' asked Dan.
'Dan!'
Dan looked over and saw Drago in his physical form.
Shun and Marucho quickly appeared by his side.
'Over here!' cried Marucho.
'This place is freaking us out.' Said Shun
'Us too!'
Dan looked to his right and saw Mira, along with Ace and Baron.
'Baron, Ace how did you guys get here?' asked Dan.
Before he knew it Ingram, Elfin, Wilda, Nemus and Percival appeared next to Drago.
'Someone must have brought all of us here for a reason, even Ace and Baron are here and they're on Vestal! Thought Shun.
A light shone from behind the Resistance. They turned and saw 6 faceless figures materialize.
'The 6 Ancient Warriors!' cried Drago.
'Drago, you must listen carefully.' Said Apollonir.
'We were defeated in battle against King Zenoheld.' Said Exedra.
'You fought Zenoheld?' asked Mira.
'He wanted to take our 6 attribute energies from us.' Said Frosch.
'He needed them to power to Bakugan Termination System, a device he used to wipe out all Bakugan.' Said Oberus.
'To keep them safe from Zenoheld, we are entrusting our attribute energies to you.' Said Lars Lion.
A light of the same color of their attribute flew from them to the Resistance Bakugan. When the light dimed, each Bakugan looked different.
'Look at them! It's like they've evolved!' cried Dan.
'Remember brawlers, you are our last hope.' Said Apollonir as the 6 warriors faded into the fog.
'Dan? Dan!'
Dan opened his eyes and found himself back in Marucho's house.
'Dan are you ok?' asked Runo as he sat up.
'You just fell to the floor so suddenly.' Said Julie.
'That was the most bizarre thing ever.' Said Shun, sitting up too.
'Was it real?' asked Mira.
'It was certainly real.' Said Drago. 'Just look at how we've changed!' Drago, Elfin, Wilda and Ingram opened up on the table and were obviously different looking.
'Drago's right. It was real! Then that means the stuff about Zenoheld was real too!' cried Dan.
'Then if what the Ancient Warriors said is true, then the Bakugan are in more danger than they've been in.'
'Hydron? What are you going to do now?' Asked a certain Darkus Brawler.
'Don't call me that! We have to do what father you got training to do with Mylene and Shadow?' Rin turned and stomped away and reach the training room where Mylene and Shadow ere waiting.
'Is Hydron taking it to seriously about the attribute energy or what?'
'He's dedicated to the king and so are we.' Shadow replied plainly. 'Now that those Dweebs have spilled what we did to those Bakugan, they're now demanding for justice.'
'They're not dweebs! They're my friends.'
'Rin. You need to think who's side you're on. Ours or theirs.' With that they left Rin alone in the training room with only bakugan for company.
'What do you think?' Asked Deltanoid.
'We joined the Vexos to get back at Dan and we're also avenging Morganna.'
-Flashback-
Rin ran down the corridor to the ship. Without knowing, Morganna slipped off her shoulder. They were just a kilometre away from each other.
'Rin come on or you'll die! Shouted Mylene from the door.
'I'm sorry!' Rin eyes flowed with tears as she ran down the corridor.
Once inside the ship, she dried the tears as the Vexos started gossiping.
'I thought we'd be leaving his royal ness behind.' Said Lync.
'Lync. Do you care for anyone more than yourself in the world?' Asked Volt.
'Yes.'
'Who?'
' and I!' Cackled Lync.
Rin looked outside the window to see Vest Palace blown up. She left Morganna, her bakugan, her friend behind in that mess. If only Dan and Spectra hadn't made all this mess, Morganna would still be with them. But there is always time for revenge...
Ooh Rin. A little Payback time! Next Chapter: The Call of A Sirenoid.
