Sorry this took very long, but most of this got erased by accident with my cousins. Lesson learned: playful 6 year old girl + rough housing 13 year old boy = me dropping my laptop, it breaking and the delete button being pressed. Despite that, I think this episode turned out better because of it, so a round of thanks to my six and thirteen year old cousins... they better not do it again!
Zenthon: The Bakugan Battle Brawlers in... Break Out, Mechtogan Style! Part 2
"Zenthon? But... how?" Asked Drago, still in disbelief. "I may have lost my body in our last battle... but my spirit remains intact" said Zenthon. "Our bodies are physical manifestations, nothing more, nothing less" Said a body, forming behind Zenthon. It, like Zenthon, was also mechanical, but much larger. "Zenthon Titan? Your here too?" Asked Dan. Before they answered, the 2 metal beasts locked their eyes on Razenoid. "Uh... no hard feelings, right?" He asked nervously. There was a long pause before either robot answered. "... oil under the bridge" said Zenthon Titan. "We've seen how much you've changed, so no" said Zenthon, making Razenoid sigh in relief. "How did you survive anyhow?" asked Marucho. "Dan was very specific, you both just vanished before his eyes" said Shun. "Maybe if we all explain..." said a third voice. "It would be much easier for you to comprehend" said a fourth. Two more beings manifested, one a dragon, and the other a combat robot. The combat robot was red, unlike the last time he was seen. The dragon looked worse for wear; dents and scratches covered his hide, 2 Battle Gears on his back were damaged almost beyond recognition, 12 of his 20 claws were missing, his left giant wing was missing a small wing, his horn was cut in half (the spiked part of it gone) and one of his eyes were colorless.
"Dragonoid Destroyer! Dragonoid Colossus! You guys are ok... uh mostly" said Dan, taking note of Dragonoid Colossus' injuries. "And wasn't Dragonoid Destroyer golden before?" Asked Julie. "Hang on, this is too much, too fast! Dragonoid Destroyer is Genesis..." Drago was saying. "I'm going to stop you there, Drago. Though he spoke through me, he was not me at all. I am the first Mechtogan Destroyer, plain and simple" said Dragonoid Destroyer. "Whoa! If your the first, then the story Dragonoid Colossus told us..." Dan was saying. "Was referring to a Mechtogan you thought you created, but in reality... the very same being me and Chance Dragonoid tried to forge so long ago" said Dragonoid Colossus. "Time out! Ok, some parts of your story from the last Arc didn't make any sense either. How could there be Mechtogan if there were only Bakugan and no partners, and if your the Mechtogan Dragonoid Colossus tried to summon, how did we summon you?" Asked Dan. "I realize that some of the information was vague, so listen closely" said Dragonoid Colossus. "For this..." said Zenthon. "Is the true story..." said Zenthon Titan. "Of the history... of the Mechtogan... and the world" said Dragonoid Destroyer.
"Mechtogan as you are all aware, are physical manifestations of the bonds, both good and bad, between a Bakugan and his/her battler. Your probably wondering, how would this be possible back then? I cannot go into too much detail, but you humans' are familiar with Pangaea, correct? If you would have gone further, you would have discovered that not only was it a supercontinent, but a super DIMENSIONAL continent. All worlds; Earth, Vestal, Neathia, Gundalia, Vestroia... were once one" said Dragonoid Destroyer, shocking the Brawlers. No wonder they got along with Bakugan so well, because they were once inhabiting the same place! "Monsters inhabited this planet in water and land, and evolved into dinosaurs millions of years later. However, some became more intelligent than normal and as time passed, they took different forms and evolved into Bakugan we know today. The dinosaurs became extinct, either by meteor showers or volcanic eruptions even Code Eve isn't sure, but some of the Bakugan survived. Whatever the case, the world was turned into a block of ice for some reason. After it thawed, another race started to appear and many more years later, they changed as well. From Australopithecus to Homo Sapiens, though there were more drastic changes. Some Homo Sapiens natural beauty would skyrocket (shows a human transforming into a Neathian), others skin would harden and become reptilian (shows a human transforming into a Gundalian), and a few invented things that would otherwise be impossible (shows a human transforming into a Vestal). These were known to the Bakugan as the mortal races, while the Bakugan were considered monsters by them" said Dragonoid Colossus. This made a bit of sense to the Brawlers', for what they heard from Dragonoid Destroyer seemed to fit, though they were more than surprised to learn that the "aliens" they knew were human to an extent and vice-versa.
"So... us Vestals were once human?" Asked Mira. "In a small way, yes. You were all the same species, some of you just evolved differently" said Zenthon Titan. "Ok so Bakugan met us, we met them and we lived happily ever after and got along! AAAAAAND created Mechtogan, the end" Said Dan proudly. "Not exactly" said Zenthon. "You must understand, both mortals and Bakugan were still a young species. Despite Bakugan being a few million years older, both sides had much to learn" said Dragonoid Destroyer. "The mortals and Bakugan, were like a cavemen and a saber-toothed tigers..." started Dragonoid Destroyer, but was cut off. "Ewww, you mean we killed Bakugan for clothing and food?!" Exclaimed Runo. (You got that irony joke, right?) "Attempted, yes. But the Bakugan proved too powerful to be hunted, so to keep others from throwing their lives away, Bakugan fell under the "hunt at your own risk" category. Basically a Bakugan thought a human was nothing more than a tiny pest, like a fly to a human. But there was a group of Bakugan that were interested in these small creatures, as well as a group of mortals that were fascinated by the Bakugan. They met one another and for the first time, Bakugan and mortal communicated, eventually becoming the first band of Brawlers. The twelve of them even stopped an army of Gargonoids, led by a Darkus Alpha Gargonoid who... uh... wasn't a real social Monarus to put lightly, from overrunning the planet" said Dragonoid Destroyer. He didn't need to say anything else after that, it was pretty obvious he was referring to the six evolved ancient Bakugan they were with, but they were still surprised to learn that even the Legendary Soldiers had human/mortal battling partners before. Amazon then cut in, in shock. "Wait so the Ancients are THAT ancient! But then [counts on his fingers]... wow, and I gave Drago a hard time" he said. "Guess that means I'm not gramps anymore, huh?" Asked Drago "Nah, your still an old man, gramps. Just not as old as I thought" said Amazon. "Well, a Dragonoid can dream, can't he?" Drago shrugged, talking to the audience. "Yes I remember that day well, that day lead up to the war" said Apollonir. "The war? But that happened BEFORE other Bakugan were born, right?" Asked Drago, somewhat confused. "No Drago, not the war between Bakugan... the war between Bakugan... and humans!" Said Apollonir.
If the world could shatter like glass; the world the Brawlers knew would have into teeny, tiny pieces. War between Bakugan and humans?! That's like saying you can run a car on milk! Sure a war between Bakugan WITH aliens/humans partnered with them was entirely plausible, but a war between Bakugan AND humans?! No way, it couldn't be true... could it? Of course, there was that one time when the army got involved when Naga and his minions invaded earth in search of the Infinity Core, but that was only when they thought the Bakugan were aliens that came to do harm. Dan breaks the silence with a nervous laugh. "Hahahaha, that's weird. For a second, it sounded like you said there was a war between Bakugan and humans" he said. With no response, he went into immediate denial. "Seriously?! No way, man. No, no, no! I refuse to believe that! Bakugan are our friends!" He exclaimed. "Its the truth" said Apollonir. This bombshell shocked the Brawlers to their cores... Bakugan and humans... in a bloody warfare? It went against everything they thought they knew. "Well, why? Why would Bakugan and us go to war out of the blue?" Asked Julie. "Even though she's an airhead, I'm with Julie on this one. It doesn't make a lick of damn sense!" Said Gunz. "And as a Bakugan, it also doesn't add up. Why did we go to war at all?" Asked Drago. "Grrrrr... Dragonoid Colossus, you know this stuff better than anyone else. Come on man, please tell me Apollonir got his dates wrong" said Dan. Dragonoid Colossus didn't answer right away. When he did, there was a hint of sadness. "I'm sorry Dan... but its true."
If you tried gluing those glass shards, they'd shatter again at the lightest touch. So it was true, Bakugan and humans did go to war, confirmed by the oldest one here. The real question is, why? Why in the bloody hell would Bakugan and humans suddenly fight? What would make them distrust each other so quickly? Surely the Gargonoid invasion wasn't the only reason, there had to be something else, something more. "But how?" Asked Alice. "And why?" Asked Hydranoid. "Isn't it obvious?" responded Exedra. "The reason..." said Clayf. "Is standing before us" said Frosch, using his staff to point... at the robots. It hit the Brawlers like a ton of bricks... Mechtogan. Mechtogan was the reason that the war started, but why? What could the Mechtogan possibly do to make mortals and Bakugan stop trusting each other and go to war? After all, Mechtogan symbolized the bond they shared in a physical form. So what were the Brawlers missing? Pondering about it, they all remembered the story Dragonoid Colossus left behind when Shadow Prove and Mylene were revived by the New Evil.
"Your tantrum, eh? That's all it took?" Asked Razenoid. "But that wasn't even your fault! It was an accident" said Mira. "Perhaps, but an accident that will haunt me forever" said Dragonoid Colossus. "Your biological TimeClocks' aren't synchronizing, Drago just said that war happened WAY before any of us were conceived" said Radizen. If Dragonoid Colossus could smirk, he would have. "Really? I don't remember giving Drago a time card. I only spoke of the genesis of the Bakugan" he said. Drago was about to talk back, but realized he was right. Thinking back to his first meeting of him before he was entrusted with the Sacred Orbs power (Lumino Dragonoid), he confirmed that Dragonoid Colossus did not say anything about the war at all. Going down memory lane again; he also remembered just before he and Dharak (now Razenoid, of course) fought for Code Eve's powers, while she did say there was a battle between the two originals, she gave them little to no information about an actual war, much less a time frame. "Ugh. When your right, your right. So enlighten us, how on Vestroia or Earth or Pangaeaor wherever! Could Mechtogan cause the war" said Drago. Apollonir resumed where he left off . "Its like it was only yesterday. That was the day... everything changed..."
To be continued...
Preyas: Whoa. When Drago told me it was complicated, I didn't think it was THAT complicated.
Amazon: You said it, sensei. Both Genesis and his bro lived in castle divided in 2! Eh, its good to be the king.
Zenthon Titan: Could you overgrown chameleons' just shut up! Your ruining it for the viewers.
Zenthon: They do deserve to know, yes. But not until part two.
Dragonoid Colossus: Even with one eye, I can see your wrong. Look up.
Zenthon: (Looks up at the title) ... Ah. My bad, part THREE.
Dan: Quick question, how do we get out after this school day?
Bakuganman: Relax, I got it covered. Trust me, it'll be a blast!
