FINALLY! WE'RE BACK!

Sorry about the long wait, everyone. I found it hard to write this, maybe its because I'm getting older or something. Regardless, it looks like a 5th season (technically a reboot) is in the works after all, titled Bakugan: Battle Planet. I'm excited about it, but we won't know or see anything about it until 2019/2020.

I really hope it's not a modern cartoon reboot, with the corny comedy and not funny jokes. Spin Master, it might be a little too late to say this, but if you can hear this, DO NOT... for the love of Bakugan fans across the globe... make us watch that. If we want to do that, we'd watch Teen Titans GO or the Powerpuff Girls reboot. You've always done stuff your own way and it worked. Bakugan was a failure in its country of origin but thanks to your amazing work, Bakugan became almost as popular as Pokemon, don't give us garbage animation or sell just for the merch. Put the same time and effort you put in for all of us in the beginning. It's more expensive sure, but it'll be worth it if you play your Ability Cards right.

Now that I'm done rambling, let's get to the story!

Serpenoid (Dan's): The Bakugan Battle Brawlersssssssss in: Trial of Innonccccccccce, Joining a Resssssssisssssstanccccccccce - Part 2

Miraculously, the Pyrus Serpenoid protected Dan from Batteaxe Saurus' strike by using his tail. "Serpenoid? What are you doing?" Asked Battleaxe Saurus. The Bakugan army surrounding them were conflicted, Dan spoke the truth and admitted to his (and by extension, the human races) mistake, but that didn't mean all was gonna be fine and dandy. Then again, Battleaxe Saurus was a little angrier than he should have been. "Didn't you hear a word he sssssssaid? Why not give him the benefit of the doubt?" Asked the Serpenoid. "Don't you worry, I heard loud and clear, he admitted his crime and..." began Battleaxe Saurus. "Then I appease the trial" said Serpenoid, confidently. The Brawlers were confused, trial? What did that mean? "That's only for when we encounter those... things, out there" said Battleaxe Saurus. "Yes, and I was the one who figured them out, didn't I?" Said the Serpenoid, still confident. Using their conversation as a distraction, Drago leaned down and picked Dan up and away from danger... Dan noticed his dragon's pained expression.

"Drago? You alright, pal?" Asked Dan. "Nrgh... I-I'm fine... just, a little tired, that's all" said Drago. Dan didn't fully believe him, but let it slide. Mira however, took out her tablet... "Serpenoid, if your wrong..." said Battleaxe Saurus. "Then I'll take any and all form of punishment. But as second-in-command of the Resistance..." Serpenoid said. "ALL-right, ALL-right... fine. Stand down, comrades" Ordered Battleaxe Saurus. The army encircled around the Brawlers backed off, really far as a manner of fact... did the axe-wielding dinosaur just drop something? "You, Dragonoid!" Spoke Battleaxe Saurus, disarming his weapon. "Since Serpenoid is insistent on your innocence, I'm giving you a chance to prove it. Trial of Innocence, activate!"

Right when those words were spoken, a Gate Card began to take shape. An enormous wall of light surrounded the edges, preventing any Bakugan from escaping. "What's going on?" Jake asked, but none had an answer for him. "This is the Gate Card, Trial of Innocence. It's unique to my species, that allows me to judge any Bakugan that I see fit. The defendant is... the Dragonoid!" Said Battleaxe Saurus. Somehow, every other Bakugan on this Gate Card except for Drago and Battleaxe Saurus were teleported outside its boundaries. "Don't bother trying to negate it. Once Trial of Innocence is activated, the only way out is when one of us are left standing... no exceptions. So... Drago, was it? Prove to me your not some spy for the Great Demon, and your free to go. If not... well, I've heard dragon bones make excellent body armor" the dino continued, pulling out his battleaxe again.

Sub-Battle:

Battleaxe Saurus: I will allow you the first strike, Dragonoid. As I always have in these trials.

Dan: Fine then, you want it, you got it! (is about to activate an ability, but notices Drago is still looking unwell) Drago? C'mon pal, why are you acting like this?

(Drago was about to answer, but Mira beat him too it.)

Mira: I can answer that, my diagnostic scan shows Drago lost a significant amount of power. It must have been the strain of Dragonoid Destroyer's hub, he's in no condition to battle now!

Current Power Levels:

Fusion Dragonoid = 300 Gs, Battleaxe Saurus = 950 Gs

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: It's a little too late for that. We've come... too far. All those... who have given up their lives for us. (begins to have flashbacks of everyone that has sacrificed themselves up until this point) I won't stop fighting... cause if I do, it'll all be in vain! And I... won't let that happen! Not when we're so close!

Dan: ... That's right. We can't back down now, we'll past Barney's test!

Runo: Were you not listening?!

Marucho: Drago's lost so much power, its too risky!

Helios [Infinity Helios]: (to Battleaxe Saurus) Why don't you have your trial with one of us?!

Battleaxe Saurus: It's too late! Once Trial of Innocence begins, there's no turning back! Are you going to fight and defend your rights, Dragonoid? Or have you finally decided to come clean?

Dan: We'll come clean, alright! Come clean on your clock! Ability, activate! Dragon Astral!

Fusion Dragonoid, +500 Gs.

Battleaxe Saurus: (the attack hits, but it didn't appear to do a thing) Is that it? That's your opening statement? Then here's mine! (glows with pyrus energy, and charges forward with his axe ready to strike. It looked very similar to Power Charge)

Dan: Ability, activate! Fusion Shield!

(Just before Battle Saurus could slice Drago in 2, the Dragonoid put up a defensive shield to block the charing dino. While this should have protected Drago, the shield completely shattered at soon as the blade of the axe came into contact with it.)

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: (falls backward a slides a little due to the force of the attack) Why... why didn't it work? I should've nullified your Power Charge.

Battleaxe Saurus: Wrong, Dragonoid. You've just faced the power of Battleaxe Charge, which instantly nullifies any type of defense.

Battleaxe Saurus, +200 Gs. Fusion Dragonoid's Ability, nullified. Current Power Levels:

Fusion Dragonoid = 800 Gs, Battleaxe Saurus = 1150 Gs

Dan: Ugh, can ya quit it with the attorney crap, we're not in Judge Judy's courthouse! Ability Activate! Dragon Expolder!

Battleaxe Saurus: Your right, human... this is MY courthouse! Pyrus Burst! (slams the pole of his axe into the ground, making a wall of fire erupt around him for a few seconds, negating Drago's attack yet again)

Dan: Are you kidding me?

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: He, ugh... keeps nullifying... every one of our moves.

Current Power Levels:

Fusion Dragonoid = 800 Gs, Battleaxe Saurus = 1350 Gs

Dan: Ok, let's try something else. Go Commandix and use Gate Crasher.

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Ok, I'm on it. (Roars as he begins to transform but just as he was glowing to initiate the change, he stops and knees down in exhaustion)

Dan: (worriedly speaks) Drago!

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Ugh, I'm... I'm ok... WOAH! (jumps away from a swinging battle axe attack)

Battleaxe Saurus: It's rude to avoid the Judge, when he AXE you a question.

Dan: Did the court reporter give you your lines? Because their getting trashier by the second... Dragon Trasher that is!

(Drago unleashes his Dragon Trasher attack. Unlike the previous times however, this attack worked. While the impact of the energy beam singed Battleaxe Saurus' armor, he wasn't in much pain.)

Battleaxe Saurus' Power Level, returned to Base Level. Fusion Dragonoid, +300 Gs. Sudden power surge, detected. Battleaxe Saurus, +200 Gs. Current Power Levels:

Fusion Dragonoid = 1100 Gs, Battleaxe Saurus = 1150 Gs

Battleaxe Saurus: (was glowing for a few seconds, most likely due to an Ability) Not bad, Dragonoid; but don't think your going out on bail just yet... its time for round 2!

This is sadly this fic is going to stop, not forever of course, I refuse to let this story die. As I've said, maybe its because I'm way too rusty at Bakugan or the fact that I'm older, or maybe because its been so long I lost some passion with this. Maybe when the reboot airs (and good lord, PLEASE be a good one!); it'll reignite the Pyrus in my heart, light up the Haos in my Darkus so I can Ventus back in the game so much, the Subterra will crumble at my feet!

Heh, see what I did there?

Before I sign off on this for a while, a heartfelt thank you for everyone would stood by me and gave me the drive to write. This story is NOT over, just on hiatus. It's becasue of people like you that kept me coming back again and again to continue this. As a special treat, I'll tell you the next thing I have planned... and no, I'm not revealing the New Evil, nice try :P. What I WILL reveal is like hinted in the history episode, New Vestroia has a resistance that formed since all the fighting Bakugan had returned to Earth. Genesis Dragonoid will also have a reappearance, but not for the reason you'd expect. Also as Serpenoid stated, he discovered something interesting about the New Evil's Bakugan, but that however will have to wait.

Until next time; peace out, I love you all. Long live Bakugan!

BAKUGAN, BRAWL!
