Just a Double Feature wasn't enough, I thought today, the 25th of May. I decided to make it a triple, and add another chapter. And I'm sorry to those of you who really like Gus's battles, but in this fanfic, I focus on the main characters, both the regular ones and the ones I add. With that out of the way, enjoy!
Going on the offensive is a good idea in some cases, but maybe not this one. Heading to the Mother Palace is going to end us, and have us lose the rest of the energies. Hopefully we can pull through!
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.
We transported down to the Mother Palace, and we looked around. "So, this is the place, Spectra?" Asked Dan.
"Incredible! We're actually inside the Vexos nerve center. So cool!" Said Ace.
"I've heard stories about how big it is, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, oh man!" Said Baron.
"Whoa, this place is heavily fortified." Said Mira.
"It's too quiet." Said Drago. "I don't like it."
"We better start looking for the Bakugan Termination System, before the Vexos realize we're here." Said Shun.
Volt, Mylene, Hydron and Lync bowed before Zenoheld, while Shadow sat down. "You called, sire?" Asked Mylene. "Your message sounded urgent."
Zenoheld nodded. "Look behind you." The Vexos did so, only to see video surveillance of the brawlers.
"Brawlers?" Asked Volt.
"But how did they find this place?" Asked Mylene.
"That weasel Spectra, no doubt." Said Hydron.
"What a wonderful surprise he's brought us." Said Zenoheld.
"Oh boy, this should be awful interesting." Said Lync.
"Someone's about to go down real hard!" Said Shadow.
"All right, guys. Pitter patter, the clock is ticking!" Said Dan.
"Dan, this place is massive. How do we even know where to start?" Asked Mira. Dan turned to Spectra.
"Hey Spectra, how about a little help? Taking down Zenoheld is a good thing for both of us!"
"The bet we made was to show you the location of the Palace, Dan. Not do your dirty work."
"What?"
"Come on, Spectra, you in a bad mood? What's with all the attitude, huh?" Asked Marucho.
"It appears that you think we're partners, but let me assure you, we're not."
"Master Spectra has honored his part of the bargain, now get lost! We owe you nothing more."
"Huh? I don't understand you guys, we should be united on this." Said Dan.
"Dan, just back down." I said. "You're never going to win this argument."
"You're a fool to think we could ever be united on anything." Said Spectra. "Let's go, Gus."
"Yes, Master Spectra." The Duo turned, and teleported away.
"Man, those guys are a couple of real jerks." Said Baron.
"For sure." Agreed Ace.
"Yep."
"Are you guys really that surprised?" Asked Mira. "Come on, we need to start our search."
"Yeah!" Said Dan. We all nodded in agreement. "So, any ideas of where it is?"
Gus and Spectra teleported into the throne room. The Vexos backed away from them. "Come now, is that any way to treat your former leader? Oh, that's right. You left me for dead."
"Yeah, well, it should've stayed that way, traitor." Said Mylene. Gus glared at her.
"It's been a long time. Welcome home, Spectra." Said Zenoheld.
"This wretched place could never be home to me, Zenoheld."
"Hey, watch your mouth, Spectra." Said Hydron.
"Enough Hydron. I don't understand why you're so hostile, Spectra, after bringing me the wonderful gift of the brawlers."
"Bringing them here was a gift to them, not you. They are here to destroy your precious BT system."
"What's that?" Asked Volt.
"Yeah! And I bet you came along to help them, didn't you!" Said Shadow. Gus growled.
"Let's all calm down." Said Mylene.
"Mylene is right, Gus." Said Spectra.
"Yes, Master Spectra." Hydron turned to Zenoheld.
"Father, let me go! I'll capture the brawlers!"
"No need to panic, Hydron. The brawlers pose no real threat to the BT system or our plans."
Spectra laughed. "Are you sure about that, Zenoheld? Enough to bet your future on it?"
"Worry not, Spectra." Said Zenoheld.
We were walking, but getting nowhere. "Oh man, it's gotta be around here somewhere." Said Dan.
"Dan, we can't just keep wandering aimlessly like this." Said Drago.
"We're too exposed out here." Said Ace. "We could be caught by the Vexos."
"Yeah, Drago and Ace are right, Dan." Said Mira.
"Perhaps we could devise a better plan for our search pattern." Said Marucho.
"If we were Zenoheld, where would we hide the BT system?" Asked Shun.
"I don't know the exact location, but I do know the tower it's in." Said Azion. He pointed to a giant, golden tower.
"Up there, probably." Guessed Dan.
"Where it's really hard to get at." Agreed Baron. Mira looked behind her.
"Quick, let's hop in that." We walked over to the happy cab, and Mira pressed a hidden button, opening it. We piled in.
"Input destination please."
"Take us to the BT system!" Said Dan.
"Sorry, you do not have the correct authorization for that destination."
"No, of course not." Said Dan.
"Here, let me try something." said Mira. She pressed a few buttons, but got nothing.
"It didn't work." Said Ace.
"I got it." Said Tom. He began pressing buttons.
"How do you how to hack this thing?" Asked Azion.
"I took classes." Tom finished pressing buttons. "Done."
"What did you do?" Asked Dan.
"I disabled the security system."
"Works for me! Okay, to the BT system and step on it." The robot's eyes squinted, then glowed red.
"Buckle up, 'cause here we go!" The cab lifted up, and took off. It wound it's way up the building.
"Now then, Spectra, I'm sure you wouldn't have come all this way unless you wanted something. What is it?" Asked Zenoheld.
"How dare you sit here so smugly after you falsely accused Master Spectra and framed him?" Thought Gus, angrily. "I'm gonna make you pay!"
"Come on now, out with it." Said Zenoheld, impatiently.
"All right, since you asked so nicely. I want you to leave the brawlers alone."
"What's that? My boy, you've got to be kidding me!"
"I promise you I am very serious, but if you do this we can start again. I will wipe the slate clean and forget that you ever falsely accused me."
"Falsely accused you?" Asked Mylene.
"What's this trash you're talking traitor?" Asked Shadow. "Huh?"
"Enough!" Said Hydron. "I'm not going to listen to any more of this nonsense!"
"It seems you've gotten things backwards here, Spectra. It is you who is hurling the false accusations. What is clear, however, is your undeniable betrayal of the Vexos. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Hydron fiddled with his hair. "Let's hear you lie your way out of this one."
"Silence! I will not allow you to mark Master Spectra any further!"
"Gus, what did I say?" Asked Spectra.
"But sir!"
"No buts! We are here to negotiate, we don't have time for this childish bickering."
"I'm sorry, Master Spectra."
"I'll say it again. I want you to leave the brawlers alone. If you know what's good for you, you'll listen to me."
"I see time has done nothing to lessen your arrogance." Said Zenoheld. "I think it's time you were on your way, Spectra."
"You heard him!" Said Hydron, walking up. "You're luck my father, King Zenoheld, has forgiven your insolence and betrayal. You better leave while you still can!" He pointed at the door. Gus growled at him.
"Very well then. Good luck on your road to ruin." Spectra turned to walk away. "Time to go, Gus.
"Okay." Gus followed Spectra, but was still fuming internally.
We were soaring up higher and higher. "Oh yeah! Look at this baby go, go, go!" Said Dan.
"Yeah, Man! We're gonna be there in no time at all!" Said Baron.
"Let's hope the computer system hasn't detected our hacking." Said Ingram.
"Yes." Agreed Drago.
"Don't worry, the hacking I did will take another two or three hours before it's discovered." Said Tom.
The Vexos were sitting, eating. "I've never seen a California roll this big! I could eat this all day!" Said Shadow, as he shoved more food in his mouth.
"Seriously, do you have to eat with your mouth open?" Asked Mylene, as someone with blue hair came to refill their water.
"You two remind me of my grandparents, the way you're always arguing with each other." Said Lync.
"Mind your own business, Lync!" Said Mylene. The person put down the jug of water near Zenoheld, as the napkin fell off of his arm, revealing a Gauntlet. It extended a small blade as Gus moved behind Zenoheld.
"Stay back!"
"Father!"
"Who are you?" Asked Zenoheld. Gus took off his disguise.
"It's you!" Said Hydron.
"Well, if it isn't Spectra's lapdog." Said Mylene. Gus forced Zenoheld to stand.
"You're going to pay for tarnishing Master Spectra's Reputation!" He moved Zenoheld backwards. The Vexos stood.
"Wait a minute!" Gus didn't listen, and instead opened the door behind him and walked through.
We were continuing to ascend higher and higher, and the main part of the tower loomed closer and closer. "Ok, not much further." Said Dan.
"I can't wait to smash the BT system." Said Ace.
"You and me both!" Agreed Baron.
"This is odd." Said Drago.
"Huh?" Asked Dan.
"It's too quiet." Agreed Shun.
"It's true. We've been zooming around for a while, and we haven't even a hint of the Vexos anywhere." Said Mira. The cab went around a corner, and Mira gasped. "Oh no!" Before us was a few rows a guards.
"That's why we haven't seen anyone!" Exclaimed Shun.
"It's an ambush!" Yelled Dan.
"No duh!" I said. The doors opened.
"We have to bail before they see us!" Said Ace. "Get ready to jump!"
"At this speed? Are you out of your mind? At this speed, we'll be the ones smashed to smithereens!" Argued Marucho. "There's got to be a better way! Come on, guys, think!"
"Calm down, dude!" Said Dan. Ace grabbed Marucho.
"It's the only way! Hang on!" Ace jumped, and they rolled on the ground below.
Come on!" Shun pulled Baron out after him.
"I was gonna!" Baron didn't have time to finish as he hit the ground. "Ow, my spine!"
"No time like the present!" Said Tom. He jumped, and Azion followed. Mira looked forwards.
"They've seen us." She went to grab the controls. "Come on, we have to give the others a head start!" Dan crouched down next to her.
"Mira, what are you doing?"
"I'm gonna plow the car straight into those creeps. You two have to jump for it while you still can!"
"And leave you behind?" Asked Dan.
"I'll be fine." Said Mira.
"It doesn't matter if you'll be fine or not." I said. "We're going with you!"
"We're in this together!" Agreed Dan. The car continued onward as the guards dispersed. It flipped over and began to skid on the ground above. Dan held onto Mira while I braced myself and pressed a button on my shirt. We crashed into a wall.
"Oh no!" Said Baron.
"Mira!" Yelled Ace.
"Dan?" Asked Marucho.
"They're all fine, guys." Said Azion.
"Ow, are you guys okay?" Asked Dan. The two disentangled themselves. "Next time, I drive."
"You three, halt!" Said a voice. Mira looked to the side.
"Come on, we've gotta hurry!" She said as she climbed out. Dan watched her exit, and saw the legion of guards coming.
"What the?" He climbed out, and I followed him. The guards followed us. "Mira, run!" He yelled as we went through a door. The guards chased us, in formation.
The group ran inside to try and find us. They saw the crushed car. "Dan!" Said Marucho.
"Mira!" Said Ace.
"Talk to us, guys!" Said Baron as the three crouched down to look inside.
"They're not here!" Said Marucho. "Maybe they were thrown from the car!"
"Alright, let's go. We've got to hurry and find the BT system now that they're onto us!" Said Shun. Ace stood up.
"We can't just leave them!" Shun looked at him. "I'm going to find Mira, Dan and Atom!"
"Hey, wait up, I'll go with you!" Said Marucho.
"Fine then, I'll catch up with you later." Shun ran off. Baron looked at him, then back to the group.
"Um. Hang on, Shun! I'm coming with you!"
"Azion, let's go!" Said Tom.
"Right!" The two of then ran off.
"Let's go, Marucho."
"Right behind you!"
"You three, halt!" Dan risked a glance behind us.
"Pick it up!" We turned around a corner, and then turned down another one.
"Dan, Atom, quick, this way!" Said Mira. We followed her in, and waited. The guards ran past us.
"Where did they go?"
"The must've gone this way! Hurry!" The guards continued to run, and soon the river of them stopped flowing.
"Looks like the coast is clear." Said Mira.
"Man, that was close." Said Dan.
"You're telling me." I said, breathing heavily. "I've told you before, I'm not an endurance runner."
A door opened up, and Zenoheld walked in. "Did you not hear the alarms?" The Vexos stood at attention.
"Your highness?" Asked Mylene.
"Why are you all standing around?"
"Why waste energy?" Asked Hydron. "Father, there's no point running around after the battle brawlers when your guards are on the case." Zenoheld looked at the screen, only to see us exit from our hiding place.
"I'm glad you're so confident that things are under control, Hydron, otherwise I might think that you were getting lazy." His eyes wandered to Shun and Baron, then Ace and Marucho, and finally Azion and Tom.
"What's wrong, father? Nervous your guards aren't up to the task?"
"Look at them go! Like rats in a maze!" Said Shadow.
"This is taking too long. Why haven't they been caught?" Asked Lync.
"If you're so impatient, why don't you run along and do the job yourself, instead of sitting here and complaining?" Asked Hydron.
"Sure, I could have a little brawler stomping action right about now." Said Shadow.
"So quit talking and start doing!" Said Hydron. "Are you happy now, father?" Zenoheld just stared, and everybody but Shadow and Hydron shied away a little. "Run along now, Shadow Prove, you've got our orders."
"Yeah, you sure talk tough when you're in front of an audience." He stood up. "You coming Lync?" He walked past Lync.
"You bet." He said as he followed Shadow. The two exited in search of the brawlers.
"I'm here if you need me, your highness." Said Mylene.
"I don't want any mistakes, Hydron." Said Zenoheld. Mylene and Volt turned to leave.
"Oh just relax, even for those two imbeciles this will be a piece of cake." Hydron turned to a screen showing Professor Clay.
"I mean it, increase power!"
We were still running, and Mira and Dan looked behind us. "I think we lost them." She said. "Finally."
"Okay!" Said Dan. "Time to get back to the business of destroying the BT system." In front of us, a door closed, blocking off the rest of the corridor. "Oh man, are you kidding me?" Asked Dan as he stopped.
"Be ready." I panted.
"Dan, this way!" Said Mira, as she went down another hallway.
"Great, more running." I said.
"At least it's better than that cab." Said Leonidas.
"Hey, since when does she lead the charge?" Asked Dan. He ran after her, and I followed suit.
Shun and Baron were lifted up into an arena like area. "What is this?" Asked Shun.
"This looks like some kind of battle arena!" Said Baron.
"How right you are, brawler." Said Volt. He and Mylene rose out of the floor as the brawlers looked at them in surprise. "Looks like you guys took a wrong turn."
"Now cooperate and hand over the Ventus energy." Said Mylene.
Ace and Marucho ran into a door, and it closed behind them. Ace looked at it in anger. "I've had it with this place!"
"Hello? Dan, Mira, Atom? Can you hear us?" Asked Marucho.
"Yeah, I can hear you!" Said Shadow in a high-pitched voice. "Woohoo!" He jumped down. "I guess my Mira impersonation needs some work!" He laughed. Lync jumped down.
"Sorry, guess this is the end of the line for you two."
"Out of our way, Vexos." Said Ace.
"Oh yeah, or else what, tough guy?" Asked Shadow.
"You'll see!" Said Ace.
"This place is so big!" Said Azion. "Now I know why I could never fully map it."
"Any idea where we are?" Asked Tom. Then, the door in front of them closed.
"Not where we want to be!" Azion turned, only to see the door behind them close as well. "Perfect." He sighed.
"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" Said Shun, Baron, Volt and Mylene.
"Gate Card, Set!" Said Mylene. "Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Come on, Ventus Master Ingram! Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Go, Haos Boriates!"
"We have to protect the Ventus Energy, Nemus! Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Bakugan, Stand!" Said all four.
"Bakugan, Brawl!" Said Shun. "Bakugan, Stand! Ventus Shadow Wing, rise!" Ingram and Shadow wing went up, and combined.
"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" Said Shadow, Lync, Marucho and Ace.
"Gate Card, Set!" Said Shadow. "Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Bring it, Percival! Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Let's go, Ventus Aluze!"
"All right, Elfin, our turn! Bakugan, Brawl!"
"Bakugan, Stand!" Said all four.
"Yo, once again, to brighten your day with sweetness and light. Back for a repeat performance here at the Mother Palace, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Aquos Minx Elfin!" She paused for a second. "Silly me, I came dressed in the wrong attribute. Oh well, nothing a quick change won't fix. Excuse me while I step through this circle of light, and slip into something a little more Ventus!" She changed. "I forgot how much I rock the Ventus look! All right Aluze, let's rock!"
Clay was watching the battles from his workshop. "So, it has begun. They have no idea what they're in store for."
"Time for a rematch, Shun." Said Volt as he set an ability card. "Ability Activate! Prometheus Cannon!" Two cannons sprouted on Boriates's arm, and they fired at Ingram.
"Ability Activate! Twin Fangs - Great Divine Wind!" Ingram blew away the blast, and then dived down towards the Mechanical bakugan, dodging another blast from Boriates. He took a swipe at them, causing an explosion of dust to appear.
"Nice one!" Said Baron. Then, the ground began to glow, and power transferred from Ingram to Macubass.
"Oh man! Ingram's power level just went way down!"
"Um, yeah, and it looks like their power levels are rising instead." Said Baron. The smoke cleared, and revealed the Mechanical Bakugan glowing a little as it dissipated.
Clay was again watching the battle, and saw that his trap field had worked perfectly. He chuckled.
"Ability Activate!" Said Lync. "Dora Cannon!" Aluze fired several shots from the cannons on it's back. Elfin continuously dodged them.
"Watch it! Hey!"
"Ability Activate!" Said Marucho. "Sky Hearty!" Elfin's wand began to spin.
"This is where I break out my Ventus moves!" Laughed Elfin. She flew up, and scattered glowing dust everywhere she went. "Don't worry, I haven't gotten too rusty!" The blasts returned to Aluze, and damaged it.
"Ability Activate! Spider Net!" Said Shadow. MAC Spider shot a web at Percival, entangling him.
"Percival! Ability Activate! Dain Sleif!" Percival's sword appeared above him, and sliced through the restraints. "Fusion Ability, Activate! Death Carbia!" Lightning crackled, and Percival's sword changed to be more like a cutlass. He sliced at Spider, causing it to short circuit a bit.
"That's the way to do it, guys!" Said Marucho. "Ability Activate! Wing Harrier!" Elfin's wings extended, and she fluttered off.
"Oh yeah!" Said Elfin, as she sliced through Aluze.
"We really hit him with that card!" Said Marucho.
"How'd you like that?" Asked Ace. The ground flashed, and drew energy away from Percival and Elfin, and it flowed into Spider and Aluze. "What the?" Asked Ace.
"Huh?" Asked Marucho as he looked at his Gauntlet. "Elfin and Percival's power levels went back to their base levels again!"
"Oh, what gives?" Asked Elfin as she sank to her knees.
Lync chuckled. "Ability Activate! Mega Bind!" Aluze shot two lasers at Elfin, defeating her.
"Elfin, you okay?" Asked Marucho.
"Why didn't we win that one?" Asked Preyas. "We should have!"
"Yeah? You wish you won! Too bad for you!" Said Shadow. "Ability Activate! Blaster Needle!" Spider opened it's mouth, and shot lots of small projectiles out of it. They all hit Percival, defeating him.
"Percival!" Said Ace. He growled. "What's going on around here?" Both their life gauges fell to 100 Gs.
Another door closed in front of us. "Oh, not again!" Said Dan. He and Mira stopped running, while I tried to catch up a little.
"Dan, over here!" Said Mira.
"Huh?" The door closed.
"Oh no!" I finally caught up to them.
"Can we please slow down a little?" I asked, huffing and puffing.
"It's like someone's trying to herd us in that direction over there!" Said Mira.
"Looks like we don't have a choice at this point." Said Dan. "Just be on your toes, okay Drago buddy?"
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
"Okay then, let's go!" Said Mira, as she and Dan went off again. I groaned, as I followed them.
"Gate Card, Open!" Said Mylene. "Phantasm!" Light crept up Nemus and Ingram to their knees.
"What's happening?" Asked Nemus. Their lower legs changed to stone.
"Huh? Nemus!"
"Ingram!"
"The Gate Card Phantasm not only lowers the opponent's power level by 100, but it also turns them into stone so they can't move. Okay, Volt, now!"
"I'm really going to enjoy this, Shun. Here it comes. Fusion Ability, Activate! Buster Mega Barrel!" Boriates fired at Ingram, defeating him.
"And onto the next, Ability Activate!" Said Mylene. "Radiant Claw!" Macubass's claws extended, and it struck Nemus.
"Baron, I'm sorry!"
"Nemus!" Shun and Baron's life gauges fell to half and 100 Gs respectively. "How are those guys able to do all that stuff?" Asked Baron.
"I don't know, but we better find out quick!" Said Shun. "Gate Card, Set!"
"Haven't you guys had enough by now?" Asked Mylene.
"Bakugan, Brawl!" Said all four. "Bakugan, Stand!"
"Ability Activate! Glimmering Shadow Slash!" Said Shun.
"Ability Activate!" Said Baron. "Sparkly Arrow!" Ingram flew through Macubass as Nemus fired at Boriates.
"Big deal." Said Mylene, despite the explosions. The ground again glowed, as power was transferred.
"What? Not again!" Said Shun.
"Why do our power levels go down every time we attack?" Asked Baron.
Clay laughed in his lab.
"Why does this section appear so familiar?" Asked Azion. Then, he realized something. "I know where we are! And because of that, I know about this little secret!" He pressed a hidden button on a wall, and opened up a secret passage that forked. "Just like I thought!"
"What did you find?" Asked Tom.
"Our ticket to the others. Quickly, you take the left path while I take the right path!"
"Got it." The two separated, and followed their respective paths.
"Gate Card, Open! Silent Land!" Said Marucho. "The command card Silent Land stops the movement of the opponent, and makes it impossible for them to activate any abilities!"
"Yeah! This one's definitely in the bag!" Said Ace.
"Don't be so sure, Ace." Said Lync as Shadow laughed.
"Ability Activate! Geor Gunner!" Percival charged up three orbs, and fired a huge laser at Spider. However, the ground glowed again, and nothing happened. Percival and Elfin collapsed.
"It feels like all the energy is being drained from my body!" Said Percival.
"I know what you mean, I've got nothing left either, Percival." Said Elfin.
"I demand to know what's happening!" Said Ace.
Shadow laughed. "You mean you still don't know? Boy, you guys are dumb!"
"Do you guys even understand where you are right now?" Asked Lync.
"Of course we do. We're in the Mother Palace, of course!" Said Marucho. They gasped.
"Oh, did you really think we wouldn't have a back-up plan in case you guys came calling?" Asked Lync. "We fixed it, so as long as we're battling inside the Mother Palace"
"No matter how much an opponent tries to decrease the power level of a mechanical Bakugan it's energy level will refuel automatically." Said Mylene, while on screen in Clay's lab. "And it's power level will return to its original base level. If they try to increase the power level of a living Bakugan, the trap field will absorb that power and its power level will revert to its base level."
"What? Are you serious?" Asked Baron.
"Then the field itself was a trap!" Said Shun.
"The only thing that's going to decide the battles in here are the Bakugan's original base power levels." Said Volt. "Which means"
"That since our Bakugan have lower power levels, we will always lose." Said Tom. Marucho and Ace looked at him in shock.
"That's right, there's no way you can win! Kick it, MAC Spider!" Said Shadow.
"Aluze!" Aluze attacked Elfin, while Spider did the same to Percival, relieving him of the Darkus energy. It shot up, and a small part diverged.
"No!" Shouted Ace. He fell to his knees. "Percival."
"I think it's time for my finishing move." Said Volt. "Double Ability, Activate! Element Flow Plus Bolt Shooter!" Azion rose out of the floor behind Shun and Baron.
"Oh no, we're too late!" Boriates fired two blasts, one at Nemus and one at Ingram, defeating them and relieving Ingram of the Ventus energy. It too shot up, and a small part of it diverged.
"Ha. If you play with fire, you get burned, Brawlers." Said Mylene. "Well, you were foolish to ever think that you could take us down in our own home." She and Volt began to teleport.
"You can't!" Shouted Shun as they teleported. The BT system got two blasts of energy, and two more lights glowed.
"And then there was two." Said Zenoheld.
Shun, Baron and Azion ran down a corridor, trying to find Volt and Mylene. "Man, where'd those guys disappear to?" Asked Baron.
"Sorry." Said Ingram. "I failed to protect the attribute energy that was entrusted to me by the seven ancient warriors."
"Don't worry, Ingram. We're not finished yet!" Said Nemus. "We still have the Darkus and Pyrus energies, not to mention the last timeline energy!"
"Yeah, the BT system is still three powers away from being fully functional!" Said Baron. "And we'll have to keep it that way." Shun nodded.
"Which is why we need to destroy the BT system immediately!"
"That's not fully true." Said Azion.
"Shun, Baron, Azion." Said Ace. The group looked at him.
"Hey guys, we've got some bad news." Said Baron.
"Unfortunately, so do we." Said Marucho. "They took the Darkus energy from us, Baron."
"I'm guessing, by the look on your face, they took the Ventus energy from you as well." Said Ace. "Am I right?"
"Oh, that's terrible." Said Baron.
"Yeah, Baron. That means the only ones left are Drago's Pyrus energy and Leonidas's Timeline energy." Said Shun.
"We've gotta find Dan, Mira and Atom now!" Said Marucho.
"Yeah!" Said Baron.
"Follow us!" Said Azion, as he and Tom took off.
"Where the heck does this hall lead to, anyway?" Asked Dan.
"We could probably ask Atom, if he wasn't so tired." Said Drago. Behind them, they couldn't see Leonidas glowing. First purple, then green.
"Dan, look there!" Said Mira. In front of us was an elevator.
"Looks like a way out to me! Come on!" We entered the Elevator, and it rose. I was finally able to catch my breath. We rose out of the floor, only to hear Hydron laughing.
"Let me guess, you saved the best for last!"
"Hydron." Said Mira.
"What do you want?" Asked Dan. "Tell us."
Hydron twirled his hair. "Now that you've asked, the Pyrus and Timeline energies would be nice!"
"Forget it, creep!" Said Dan, as he held up Drago.
"Dan," I started, but he ignored me.
Clay was watching us through a screen. He laughed. "Trap field, on standby!" The ground glowed. "This is the end!"
"The end, huh?" Clay turned, and saw Spectra. "Sorry to startle you, professor."
"Spectra!"
"Listen closely, I've got a proposition for you."
"Dan, where are you?" Shouted Shun, as the group of six ran.
"You can't battle the mechanical Bakugan inside the Palace!" Shouted Marucho.
"You'll lose, just like we did!" Said Elfin.
"Mira!" Shouted Ace.
"We're coming!" Said Baron.
"Atom, you need to warn them!" Said Tom.
Hydron stared at us, and readied his Gauntlet. Dan put his on, and Mira did the same. I reluctantly put mine on. "This is going to be bad." I thought.
It's going to be hard, it's going to be a heck of a battle, and no matter what we do, we are going to lose the energies. The timeline will not allow us to win. But, when Leonidas's ability kicks into effect, will we have a chance at victory?
