The Bakugan Battle Brawlers in:
Akira's Wings

---

"WHAT!?" this was the sound of Garfield gasping as he needed to process what Atom told the group.

Atom nodded. "Your abilities aren't as powerful yet, so that's probably why I'm here. To help raise your abilities as a Shifter so that you can open a dimensional portal on your own,"

"Sweet!" Garfield said. "So let's do it!"

"We could but… I'm kind of suffering dimensional jet lag to be honest…"he said while tiredly looking around.

"If you are tired, then it would be best if we did this tomorrow then." Zavanna suggested.

Akira though seemed opposed to the idea. "Well you have enough energy to walk around. How hard could opening a dimensional portal be?"

"Not as easy as you think… plus if a shifter opens a dimensional portal in a fatigued state, there is no telling what will happen, or where they might end up."

Akira leaned against the wall and folded her arms once again.

Cera noticed the growing tension and she got everyone's attention. "Right, well since we have a plan, we should probably just call it a night."

The group agreed with Cera's suggestion, though Akira didn't voice any opinion as she stood looking out at the dark sky. Cameron saw her and he grew concerned.

"Samantha, please show Atom to one of the guest rooms."

"Multiple guest rooms?" Atom gasped. "Fancy, reminds me of Marucho's Mansion back in Wardington."

"Yes, speaking of which, I had the help of Marakura industries in constructing the new Bakugan Interspace."

"New Bakugan Interspace…? This reality really is different."

"I shall tell you more after you get your rest." Cera said. Samantha came up to Atom, holding toiletries as well as an extra blanket.

"If you will please follow me," Atom gladly walked behind Samantha.

"Thanks, for the accommodation. Goodnight everyone,"

"Night Atom!" Aisha cheerfully said. "Boy, after that battle today, I'm also pooped. I'm turning in."

"W-wait sis!" Enki exclaimed as she followed Aisha to her room in the mansion.

Garfield then had a slight smile on his face. "Okay, things are going to work out, I'm sure Atom will be able to help us get to Fabrega."

"Awesome…" Vesta said. "I'm still seeing you off, so I'm not going anywhere."

Cera shrugged. "Well then you two share a room, I don't have an infinite amount of rooms in this place." She then looked to Jayden. "Jayden, you're with Zavanna and Cameron you're with Akira… is that fine?"

Suddenly they all heard loud knocking coming from the front door of the mansion. "Hmm, are we expecting a pizza?" Jayden asked.

Cera silently walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole. "Alright, who are you?"

"My name is Kaori Haruna! I believe my daughter is here." The person on the other side sounded like a middle aged woman.

Cera quickly put the pieces and figured that she was Akira's mother and she started to unlock the door. "Um, of course come on in."

Cera opened the door and Kaori was dressed in a white, buttoned, collared shirt with beige pants and dark green flats, covering her feet. Her hear eyes were brown while she had violet hair that was tied in a ponytail; she also had green rimmed glasses. "Thank you, is my daughter here?"

"Y-yes, right this way," Cera led Kaori to the living room where Cameron, Jayden, Zavanna and Akira were waiting.

"Yo Cera, please tell me its pizza." Jayden said as he heard her footsteps from the hallway.

Though Akira's eyes shrunk drastically, almost as if she could sense the aura of her mother from the hallway,

"What kind of pizza do you think it will be Akira?" Cameron asked, but when turning to Akira. He noticed that she was gone, and that she wasn't in the room anymore.

Cera walked into the room with Kaori and everyone saw her. "Not exactly, but it looks like one of our friends has some explaining to do."

"Greetings everyone, I am looking for Akira, I am her mother…" Kaori said.

Cameron spoke up. "Well she was here, but she's gone… Maybe she went to the bathroom."

"I doubt it." Cera said. "That girl avoids confrontation like no one else. We should all spread out and find her."

"But isn't she like a ninja?" Jayden asked. "It could be hours before we find her."

Cera snapped her fingers in frustration. "You make a good point, but I know most of the potential hiding places in this place. It won't be too hard to find her. Garfield, Jayden, Zavanna, Vesta, you are all with me."

"Wait, what about me?" Cameron asked.

"You stay here and keep Miss Haruna company." The five left to look for Akira, leaving Cameron alone with Akira's mother.

"Hehe…" Cameron laughed. "Well… this is awkward…" he muttered.

Blazeon opened on his shoulder. "Boy I'll say… especially if it is the mother of your future-"

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Cameron exclaimed while blushing.

"You there, boy." Kaori said, in a slight stern tone to Cameron.

"O-oh me…?"

Kaori sweatdropped, "We are the only two in the room are we not?"

"Haha, well yeah… I guess…" he walked to her.

"So, what is your relation to my daughter?"

"O-oh well I'm a good friend of hers."

"So you two are friends? Tell me, what is your name?"

"Um… it's Cameron ma'am," She nodded after hearing his name.

"Tell me… is she playing this game called Bakugan?"

"Well yeah… we all are!" Cameron exclaimed with an excited tone.

"I thought so, she never listens to me!" she said folding her arms and closing her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Kaori gave Cameron a serious look. "I banned her from playing this game!" she revealed. "I am here to bring her home."

"B-but Bakugan is awesome. I don't get why you would ban her from it."

"Because this infernal game took one of my daughters away from me!" she exclaimed.

Cameron then gave her a serious look. "You're talking about Akane aren't you?"

Kaori's eye slightly shrank when Cameron mentioned Akane. "I don't understand. How do you know about her?"

"Akira told me." Cameron said. "I know that you're worried about Akira, but she is the best Bakugan battler I've ever seen. She's one of the best, so you shouldn't worry so much about her."

"I don't care how good she is! I don't want her playing this game, end of story. What kind of Mother would I be if I let two of my daughters go missing? Akira is coming back with me, and I do not care about what some kid has to say!"

Blazeon got mad. "Hey listen here lady-" he angrily started but Cameron covered him with his hand.

"Maybe you and Akira need to talk this out." Cameron suggested.

"There is nothing to talk about, I want her to come home, and nothing will keep me from doing it. Even if I have to drag her back while she's kicking and screaming."

Cameron sighed. "Okay… I am going to help the others find her… Why don't you stay in my room and we can talk about it tomorrow."

"If you won't help me find her, then I will look myself!" Kaori walked off and wandered through the mansion and was calling out for Akira.

Cameron sighed. "I don't want Akira's mother to worry, but at the same time I don't want Akira to leave us." Cameron said to Blazeon.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I've gotta find Akira before her mom does,"

"Do you even know where to start?"

Cameron thought to himself for a bit. "I think I know."

…

Cameron was on the top floor and he opened the door to the roof and after opening the door he saw Akira standing on the edge of the roof, she held onto the railing. The wind was blowing on her right side, and she adjusted her hair but quickly turned around when she noticed Cameron was looking at her.

"A-Akira-"

"How did you find me!?" she sternly asked.

Cameron closed the roof door behind him. "Well I thought, 'What would be the best place Akira would hide from her mom…?' and I thought the roof. I figured it would be one of the last places she'd look right?"

"You found me, do you want to tell me why you are up here?"

Cameron sighed. "Well I think you and your mother need to talk about this."

Akira gave a sarcastic chuckle. "There is no talking to that woman; it's always her way or the highway with her. Once she has her mind set on something, she'll never change her mind, even though she is wrong. She's never been the same since Akane disappeared."

"But don't you think it would be better if you two talked about it, she needs to hear your side of the story."

"You don't get it Cameron!" Akira exclaimed turning around to face him. "She isn't as carefree and friendly like your mom. She always tries to control some aspect of my life. I have to lie in order to leave the house, but she started getting suspicious."

"Akira…"

"To her, I don't have a side. She doesn't want me to disappear like Akane. So she will stop at nothing to make sure that I have little to do with Bakugan."

Cameron didn't know what to do. He didn't want Akira to leave, but he knew that if Akira's mom got her way, there would be little to stop her.

"I was hoping that if we left today, then she wouldn't be able to stop me."

"B-but then you'd just be worrying her even more. She feels responsible for losing Akane and she doesn't want to lose you too."

Akira stepped closer to him. "Alright, say I voice my opinion to my mother, then what? If she doesn't listen then it would be pointless."

Radion opened on Akira's shoulder. "But we can't just keep her in the dark like this. It isn't right, Akane kept both of you in the dark, and look what happened…"

"So you want me to just tell her everything!?"

"It's better than being so secretive around her all the time."

Akira then looked to Cameron. "If I do this… will you at least be there with me?"

"Always." Cameron replied.

Akira immediately hugged him and he hugged her back right after his slight shock.

"How touching…" they both heard an ominous voice say. A dimensional portal opened and walking out of it was the source of the voice.

He was light skinned and he wore a long purple coat that was torn at the ends, with black gloves covering his hands. The coat was open, revealing his toned chest. Below that was a pair of black jeans and he had black boots covering his feet. He had elven ears with gills on his neck. His grey hair was long and spiky and he had amber coloured eyes with a black iris rings in them.

"Nothing like a stressful family situation to bring the two of you together…"

They both let go of each other and they both glared at him. "What do you want!?" Akira screamed.

Aiden smiled. "Me? Well, seeing that I made the long journey here, I might as well tell… You humans have made me look like a fool back on my home world. So I have come here to rectify that situation."

The roof door swung open and Akira's mother was behind it. "AKIRA!" she exclaimed.

Aiden smirked. "Ah, right on time…"

"You cannot run from me this time… Who are you?" she asked looking to Aiden.

Aiden walked to her. "Oh excuse me, but my name is Aiden Atro Azreal. Pleased to meet you," he ended with a bow

"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Akira yelled.

Aiden looked to Akira and he grabbed her mother's arm. "Ahh, let go of me!" Kaori exclaimed.

"No can do, cause I'm about to make a deal! So Akira, if you want to save her, you will come to Wardington Park, and you will come alone if you know what's good for you." a dimensional portal opened up and he backed into it while he held Kaori.

"NO! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!"

"I'll decide that, see you soon Akira."

"No… NOOOO!" Akira started running to the portal and she even leaped forward to try to reach her mother, but Aiden backed into the portal and Kaori struggled to free herself from his grip. Once they were both in the portal, it closed and Akira had fallen to the floor. Once the commotion was over, it started drizzling before a rain shower started falling. Akira who had tears falling from her eyes, had clenched her fists. "They are going to pay! I'll make sure of it!" she ran back down the stairs.

"Akira, slow down!" Radion exclaimed.

Cameron stood there, completely stunned. He was still trying to process what had happened.

"Hey Cameron!" Blazeon exclaimed, getting his attention. "Snap out of it! We need to help her!"

"Right…!" Cameron followed Akira down the roof.

---

As soon as Cameron made his way to the living room, he saw that Akira already had a duffel bag on her back and was making her way out through the front door, and out into the rain.

"Akira? Where are you going?"

"This is my fight Cameron, don't interfere…" she insisted in a low tone.

She closed the door and ran through the long driveway of Cera's mansion. Cameron was silent for a moment. "I have to wake the others."

Cera then walked into the room and she yawned. "Did you find Akira?"

"Well yes… but, things happened… one of the Fabregans showed up and he kidnapped her mom. She's gone out to find him."

Cera's eyes widened. "Well why didn't she tell the rest of us!?"

"I don't know…" Cameron sadly admitted. "She has the insane thing in her head where she feels she has to do it herself."

"That girl…" Cera took a calm breath and continued to question Cameron. "Alright, so we know she left, but do know where she's going?"

"He said something about Wardington Park, but hang on. Isn't Wardington far from here, how is she going to get there in time?"

Cera thought for a second. "If she needs to get there fast, then she would have to do it by air… unless." Cera quickly figured out what Akira was going to do, but she needed to head to her room quickly.

"Um… where are you going?"

"I thought so…" Cera walked back out of her room. "My Bakugan Interspace Keycard is missing."

"She's going to use the new Bakugan Interspace to get there?"

"Yes."

"But won't it be closed? It's night now."

Lunaris opened up on the small coffee table in the room. "With the keycard in her possession, she can enter Bakugan Interspace at will, think of it as an administration pass."

"Her plan is to get to Wardington through Bakugan Interspace." Cera said.

Cameron started panicking. "She can't do this by herself! She needs our help!"

"I agree, since she will most likely be walking into an ambush… I can't say I know the Fabregans as well as the rest of you, but I can guarantee that whoever summoned her there, won't be alone."

Cameron gasped in shock.

---

Akira who was soaked was inside Bakugan Interspace and she walked out of the transporter pod and looked around. "Okay, now I just have to get to Wardington."

"Akira, you should have gone to the others, they would have helped you without question." Radion said.

"No, he made this personal the second he took my mother, I cannot rely on others to fight my battles for me, I need to do this myself."

"This is crazy! Give me one good reason why you can't ask them for help!"

"You wouldn't understand…"

"Jeez you're just like Akane!" Radion exclaimed.

Akira gasped and she froze for a second. "W-what?"

"She always felt like she needed to do things by herself, even though I wanted to go with her before she disappeared, she told me that it was something she needed to do without me. And now here you are doing the same thing… What if you disappear too?"

Akira took a deep breath and thought about what Radion told her. "Don't worry; I am not going anywhere… that I can assure you. The others would only get in my way, that's why I didn't tell them." She started to type the destination in the keyboard attached to the pod. Right after she did this, the pod activated and Akira stepped into it. "Hold on Mother, I am coming." She was transported from Bakugan interspace and was heading for Wardington.

---

The rest of the Neo Brawlers, Zavanna and Atom were awake and in the main room. "Okay, so Akira took off without saying anything?" Jayden asked.

"Yes." Cameron replied in a panicked voice.

"That sounds like something she would do…"

"That's not the point we need to find a way to get to Wardington and help her." Aisha said.

"That will be difficult… you see I only had one key-card, so the rest of us will be locked out of Bakugan Interspace, and we could fly to Wardington, but by the time we get there. It would be too late."

Atom then had a suggestion. "Then maybe we could open a dimensional portal to Wardington."

"Oh right, why didn't I think of that?" Garfield said.

"Plus it isn't light years away like that Fabrega place you were trying to get to earlier."

"Okay, so do it." Cera said.

"I could, but... Garfield should do it."

Cera glared at Atom. "This is no time for a lesson; our friend could be in danger…"

"All the more reason that Garfield, should be the one to open the portal don't you think?"

"Why you…"

"No… it's okay Cera…" Garfield said. "I have to try… Plus I've been to Wardington before, so I know what the place looks like."

Atom thought to himself for a second. "I see, that's your problem… it isn't enough just thinking about the place. You have to imagine yourself, physically being there, seeing the sights; breathing the air… you know experiencing the place as if you really are there."

"I see what you mean…" Garfield said. "I'll give it a try." Garfield closed his eyes and started to imagine the image of Wardington. Once he had the image in his head, the attribute circle on his hand started to glow.

"Whoa!" Aisha exclaimed.

"SSH." Atom shushed. "He needs his concentration."

"Okay got it." Aisha closed her mouth and 'zipped' them closed with her fingers.

Garfield started to imagine himself there, landing on the pavement and next to him he visualized the Misaki Family Coffee shop. After he visualized the image, his eyes shone bright white and suddenly an electric current was seen a distance in front of Garfield and suddenly a dimensional wormhole was opened and as it appeared, it made a small burst of air push through the room.

Garfield felt tired and Zavanna caught him before he could fall to the ground. "Well, looks like you did it." Atom said.

"Well what are we waiting for!?" Cameron said.

"But Garfield looks tired. Some of us should stay back to look after him." Aisha said.

"Agreed." Cera said. "Atom, you can open a portal for us to come back, right?"

"You bet'cha,"

"Okay, so here's the plan. Cameron, Atom and I will head to Wardington and help Akira. The rest of you will stay back and defend the mansion in-case the Fabregans get any more ideas and come back here." Cera said.

"You got it!" Aisha said.

Jayden shrugged his shoulders, which Cera took as a positive answer. "C'mon you two… we need to hurry."

"We're coming Akira." Cameron said as the trio jumped through the portal.

---

Akira was running through the streets of a rainy Wardington City. A car passed by her and it splashed water from a puddle onto her. Her clothes were soggy and she screamed in frustration.

"Akira… calm down…" Radion said.

"Radion… I…" Akira held her shoulders. "I am scared… what if I can't save her?"

"Don't go there, Akira… It's better if you don't think about it."

Akira looked down the path and saw the park in view. "We're close…" she continued her run and both she and Radion had arrived at the Wardington Park. "This is the place…" Akira walked onto the park and as soon as she did, the voice of Aiden had sounded through her ears.

"I see you made it, great… Haha."

"I came, now give my mother back to me!" she demanded.

"What, already…? But we'd miss out on all the fun."

"Fun what are you-?"

"He means wit us girl…" he saw Isolde walking out from under a tree.

"You're one of them!" Akira exclaimed.

"Yes, and so am I." this voice came from Phoenix, he wore his usual robe and he appeared next to Isolde.

"Two against one, I've beaten you in a two on one before!" Akira said.

"But not three." The final voice was Andreas and he appeared from a different tree.

Akira gasped as she faced the three Fabregans in front of her. "So this was your plan… to ambush me!"

Andreas stepped forward. "Ha, we have our reasons. As you can see our team is… well halved. That stupid human, Cameron fooled Zavanna into his way of thinking. Daro has put all of his time into other things… and you unforgiving scum killed Enki."

Akira stepped back, especially after hearing the last bit. "Enki… she isn't dead. Who is telling you all this?"

"That doesn't matter; you humans have caused a lot of trouble for us… So we are here to return the favour." The three had placed their gauntlets on their arms.

"Where is my mother!?"

"If ya want ta get t' Aiden. Ya gonna have ta get through us, all three of us." Isolde said. "If ya beat us, then ya can get to Aiden… but it's not goin t' work."

"You've got no chance." Phoenix said with a smirk.

Akira glared at them. "Hey, Akira…" Radion whispered. "Why don't you just run past them?"

"I could, but I'm sure they planned for that. They knew I would come here myself…" Akira said. She placed her gauntlet on her left wrist.

"Hey, what are you doing!?" Radion exclaimed.

"We have no choice, we have to do something! I can't let my mother get hurt. I am sure that he is watching this."

Radion sighed. "This is nuts Akira… and you know it."

"I'm sorry Radion…" she raised her gauntlet.

All four of them were going to start the battle. Akira took a deep breath. "Gauntlet…"

"POWER STRIKE!" three new voices exclaimed. Their power cards were shining red, purple and yellow.

"Hey Akira!" she turned around and saw the faces of Cameron, Cera and Atom. "Looks like we got here just in time!" Cameron confidently said.

"My friends…" she whispered. "H-how did you get here?"

"That doesn't matter!" Cera exclaimed. "Go find your mother, we will handle these guys."

Akira looked back at them. "Thank you." She mouthed before she ran right past the three Fabregans, to find Aiden and her mother.

Andreas growled as he watched her run away. "Hey, your fight is with us!" Cameron exclaimed.

Andreas smirked as soon as he saw Cameron. "You… the one who took my Zavanna away from me! I will have fun tearing you apart!" he said as his eyes were wide opened and he had a sadistic smile on his face.

"Ugh, the last two months haven't been kind to him, huh?" Blazeon said.

"He kind of looks unhinged." Atom commented. "What did you do to him?"

Blazeon looked to Atom. "Ya want the long or the short version?"

"Hey!" Cera yelled getting their attention. "How about instead we take these guys down first."

"Yeah sure." Atom said.

Phoenix had a card in his hand. "You scum have ruined our plans for the last time! Gate card set!" Phoenix threw down his ventus gate card. "Bakugan Brawl! Metal Almos Stand!" Metal Almos shot into the sky and his cyborg falcon body looked down at those on the ground.

Cera stepped forward. "He's mine. Bakugan Brawl! Lunaris stand!" Lunaris was slowly rising and her butterfly wings let off bright sparkles when they were fully extended.

Andreas glared at Cameron. "I will destroy you!" he screamed. "Bakugan Brawl! Sentinel Gleamroller stand!" The four armed bipedal lizard stood up and roared.

"We've got to keep these guys busy." Cameron said. "Let's make some noise Blazeon!"

"We'll be so loud, they hear us all the way on Fabrega!"

"Bakugan Brawl! Blazeon stand!" Blazeon shot up and he flapped his wings, blowing the generating fire off of them.

Isolde confidently grinned at Atom. "Oh look, who do we have here man, you must be another new guy, either way. You can't keep up with me." He threw his Bakugan onto the field. "Stand Omega Hydrapent!" Hydrapent slithered and all three cobra heads hissed at Atom.

"As if that has can scare me, I've fought against brawlers you wouldn't believe. But it will be my first time fighting a Fabregan. So Leo, let's not disappoint."

"I'm with you all the way." Leonidas said. He threw him in. "Bakugan Brawl! Infinity Leonidas stand!"

Leonidas was revealed and he was of the Haos attribute. He had the appearance of Fusion Dragonoid, just without the gauntlets and there was no crest on his chest, and he had the head of Omega Leonidas. His body was coloured gold, white and yellow while long, very dark blue scales ran down his midsection, to the end of his tail. Leo let out a violent roar.

Metal Almos: 900 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 900 / Omega Hydrapent: 950

Lunaris: 750 / Blazeon: 750 / Infinity Leonidas: 1000

Everyone's eyes grew when they saw Leonidas' power level.

"Leonidas… where have I heard dat name before?" Isolde asked himself. "It doesn't matter, I'll be takin it for myself anyway!" an ability card was already in his gauntlet. "Everyone, together!" he announced.

"You're not the leader here!" Andreas said as he was about to activate his ability.

"You humans are about to face judgement!" Phoenix declared.

"Ability Activate!" they all exclaimed.

Phoenix was up first. "Hailing Destruction!" Almos shot up higher into the sky and the eight floating javelin guns ejected from their wing slots on Almos' wings. All eight of them were aimed at Lunaris.

Andreas was next. "Ability Activate, Spiked Barrage!" spikes grew all over Gleamroller's body.

Finally their attack concluded with Isolde. "Ability Activate Wave Pulse!" the three snake heads each charged up large balls of water in their mouths.

The three decided to team up to take down Cameron, Cera and Atom early on.

Metal Almos: 1500 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 1600 / Omega Hydrapent: 950

Lunaris: 750 / Blazeon: 750 / Infinity Leonidas: 300

"Stand back!" Cameron exclaimed. He smirked as he had an ability card in his gauntlet. "Ability Activate! Dragon Firewall!"

Blazeon stood in front of his allies and he spread his arms and wings out which created a curved wall of fire that protected him, Lunaris and Leonidas.

Almos fired a barrage of green pulse beams from his javelin-guns. The spikes that grew on Gleamroller's body fired like missiles to the group. Finally the water that Hydrapent had generated fire three powerful jets of water.

All three attacks crashed into the barrier and there was a very large smoke cloud. When it cleared, the three Fabregans were shocked to see that Blazeon, Lunaris and Leonidas were okay. "B-but how!?" Andreas yelled.

Cameron pointed to them. "Dragon Firewall, Blazeon's strongest defensive ability. It has the power to nullify any ability that it blocks."

"You might want to check your gauntlets." Atom said. They saw that their power levels had returned to their base levels, though Blazeon was brought up to 950Gs.

Cera was next to attack. "Ability Activate Fortune's Eye." The eyes on Lunaris' wings shone red and they each fired red rings towards Almos.

Metal Almos: 950 / Lunaris: 1000

"Let's see your puny attack try and catch Almos. Ability Activate, Charge Cycle!" Almos was surrounded by green, electric bolts of energy and the sound of a turbine was heard as he was able to easily able to fly much faster than Lunaris' attack. Almos was elevated to 1550Gs.

"Cameron!" Blazeon said looking to him.

"Done, we can catch that bucket of bolts! Ability Activate, Neo Hummer!" Blazeon was covered in a red aura and took to the skies after Almos, his power rose to 1050Gs.

"Oh no you don't!" Andreas though wasn't going to let Cameron ignore him. "Ability Activate! Shock Ball!" Gleamroller created a ball of electrical energy in between two hands and he tossed it to the flying Blazeon and when he was hit, yellow electrical sparks surrounded him. Struggling to move, Blazeon shot to the ground, making a large crater.

"Blazeon!" Cameron worriedly called.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1300 / Blazeon: 1050

"You fight is with me, homewrecker!" Andreas said as his eyes grew wide in excitement. Blazeon meanwhile was covered in electric sparks as he stood up. He was paralyzed, so he was struggling to move.

Meanwhile Isolde was looking at Atom. "So you're new. D'ese children have been in our way for da longest time and we have to exterminate them."

Atom smirked. "Well then, give it your best shot!" he started. "Cause Leo and I can take it, and deliver it back twice as hard."

"Ya seem confident… "Isolde placed a card into his gauntlet. "Let's see how long it lasts! Ability Activate, Omega Storm!" suddenly the omega symbol on the central cobra head was glowing blue and storm clouds appeared and they were about to shoot thunderbolts down onto Leonidas.

Omega Hydrapent: 1350 / Infinity Leonidas: 600

Atom quickly placed a card into his gauntlet. "Ability Activate, Blazing Haos Speed!" suddenly Leonidas disappeared from the sight of Hydrapent and he was managing to avoid all of the bolts of lightning that was attempting to strike him. Leonidas was brought up to 700Gs. "Alright, lets head for the other guy, Ability Activate, Infinity Strike!" Leonidas' hand was wrapped in a bright multi-coloured light and he blitzed past Gleamroller and slashed him performing a useful distraction. Leonidas' power was brought back to 1000Gs.

"What was that!?" Andreas yelled.

This gave Cameron and Blazeon the opening they needed. "Blazeon quick, Nova Wing!" Cameron exclaimed and Blazeon's wings lit on fire and he flapped them while standing on the ground, sending two rings of fire to the distracted Gleamroller and he fell to the ground.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1100 / Blazeon: 1450

"Ha, not bad for a paralyzed opponent huh?" Cameron confidently said.

Meanwhile in the sky Lunaris was avoiding green energy bolts from the Javelin guns of Metal Almos.

"You can't avoid all of my shots forever!" he confidently yelled. "And I'll make sure, Ability Activate, Static Hurricane!"

Metal Almos: 1650 / Lunaris: 900

Almos was about to flap his wings but suddenly two dark blue beams hit Almos and he was surrounded by fading dark blue orb. The beams were coming from the eyes on Lunaris' wings. "Ability, Petrifying Gaze, now you can't activate any more of your abilities for some time," Almos' power had dropped down to 1450. "Now you are a sitting target. Double Ability Activate, Darkening Arrow, plus Fusion Ability Sunset Fortune!"Lunaris while being covered in a pink aura formed a plasma bow and shot an arrow of the same material through Almos and the cyborg Bakugan let out a pained scream.

Metal Almos: 1200 / Lunaris: 2050

Almos was covered in raging green bolts as if he was about to be defeated. "It is over, Almos." Lunaris said. Phoenix glared at her.

"Oh you wish, scum!" Phoenix told Lunaris.

---

As her friends were keeping Aiden's goons covered, she had arrived at a very large clearing and saw him with her mother tied up, sitting by a tree. "MOM!" Akira exclaimed.

Aiden was surprised. "Impossible, how did you beat Isolde, Phoenix and Andreas."

"I didn't have to. I have backup of my own." She pointed to him. "Now release my mother… or else."

Aiden chuckled. "'Or else…'? haha, you're a riot kid. You have no idea who you are dealing with."

Akira shot the most intense glare that she's ever given at Aiden. She was in no mood to mess around. "We do this now, we are done talking!" She and Aiden already had their gauntlets on.

Aiden continued to chuckle. "You are adorable…" Kaori looked at her daughter and she had never seen such a look of rage on her face before, her dark emerald eyes even looked permanently shrunken. "Though, this will be fun. Gate Card set." He calmly said throwing in his Darkus gate card. "Bakugan Brawl, Domino stand!" the built, demonic looking Bakugan stood on the field.

Radion started to cower slightly. "U-uh… are you sure we can take on… that!?"

"We can and we will!" Akira said.

Radion remembered what was on the line and she quickly shaped up. "You're right! I'm angry too, so let's put them away already."

Radion closed up and Akira gripped her. "Bakugan Brawl! Radion Stand!" Radion flew up.

"No jokes this time, you're dealing with Serious Radion today!" she exclaimed

Domino: 1200 / Radion: 700

"You power level doesn't even come close to mine." Aiden mocked. "Oh well at least I get to put you in your place… Ability Activate, Particle Shot!" two flaming energy spheres appeared on Domino's hands and he chucked them to Radion.

She was able to fly up and avoid taking the hit from his attack, but Domino's power increased to 1700Gs.

"More than one thousand points apart, surely you don't think you can beat me." Aiden mocked.

Radion hovered in the sky. "Are you just going to wait for him to do something!?" Radion exclaimed.

"Not in the slightest!" Akira placed a card into her gauntlet. "Ability Activate! Needle Fury!" Purple needles appeared in between Radion's fingers.

Radion screamed as she threw them to Domino, they sunk into his skin and Domino fell to one knee in pain. The poison from the needles were spreading through his body, halving his power level.

Domino: 850 / Radion: 700

Akira kept up the pressure to keep Aiden from thinking of a counter strategy. "Ability Activate! Tempest Shard!" Radion's arms and wings were covered in a green aura and energy shards started circling around the circumference of her. She threw her hand forward and sent the energy shards to Domino and when they crashed into him. Domino remained on his knee as he took the damage. He screamed in pain as well.

Domino: 550 / Radion: 700

Aiden looked to have had enough and he gave an angry look to Akira. "Don't think you can put me down so easily." Aiden said. He angrily placed a card into his gauntlet. "Ability Activate! Shooting Death Star!" Domino opened his mouth and a bright purple orb with a white core was generated inside. The orb fired a powerful white beam that looked like it could engulf Radion completely. Her power level dropped to a very low 100Gs.

"It won't mean anything if it doesn't hit us!" Akira exclaimed. "Double Ability Activate, Angel Accelerator…" Radion flew up as the beam narrowly missed her, her body was covered in a green aura. "…plus Nimbus Wings!" Her wings were covered in a raging multi-coloured, rainbow light as she flew to instantly counter attack.

Domino: 250 / Radion: 600

Aiden quickly put a card into his gauntlet almost as a desperation move. "Ability Activate, Looming Gate!" a barrier of purple hexagons had materialized in front of Domino and Radion crashed into the barrier, like a fly on a windshield.

Domino: 650 / Radion: 200

Radion flew back off the barrier and she was rubbing her head. Kaori watched her daughter with concern as it looked as if she was struggling. "Now I'll gladly finish you off. Ability Activate, Supernova!" Domino crossed his wrists and a very powerful purple beam with white lines inside it was speeding to Radion, it was destroying the ground as it traveled. Domino's power grew to 1250.

"Hang on Radion!" Akira exclaimed. "Ability Activate, Angelic Enforcement!" Radion was covered by a bright green, see-through sphere. The beam clashed with the sphere and Radion was trying her best to keep it together, but it was starting to crack.

"I don't think that was enough." Radion yelled.

Domino: 1250 / Radion: 500

True to Radion's words, the barrier wasn't enough as it completely shattered and Radion's eyes were wide, before she hit the ground, she was covered in a bright green light and she shrunk back to her ball form.

Akira and Kaori were shocked and Akira watched her life gauge fall to a critical 25 percent. Aiden laughed as he caught Domino after he retreated to his ball form. "Haha, you should know that Supernova is an ability that will instantly defeat any Bakugan, as long as Domino's power level is higher." Akira gasped at this. "As soon as it was activated, you were finished." Aiden started laughing and Akira only looked to the ground in shame. "So since I am superior to you, how about we make a deal?"

"Deal?" Akira questioned.

"Exactly, you mother will return to the safe haven of your home, but only if you agree to join up with me!" Akira's eyes grew wide and her skin went pale. "That reaction, I love it. Everyone rarely sees you scared but look at you now, it's almost like you're a different person."

Radion floated in front of her partner's face. "Akira, snap out of it! We're not done yet!"

"True, but even a tiny ant knows it can't beat a boot." Aiden commented.

"You shut up, little girl!" Domino said to Radion.

"So what is your choice Akira?"

---

On the other side of the park, Blazeon was still covered in electric sparks as he stood his ground against Gleamroller.

Andreas grinned at Cameron. "I've got you right where I want you, boy! Ability Activate, Spark Wheel!" Gleamroller ran and curled up into a wheel and was engulfed in bright electricity, he rolled to Blazeon in an attempt to steam roll through him.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1100 / Blazeon: 650

"Oh man!" Cameron yelled. "Ability Activate! Blaze Shield!" Blazeon tried to raise his wings but he was too slow due to the paralysis and Gleamroller crashed into him doing huge damage to him. The ability failed to activate.

"And now you will stay down!" Andreas exclaimed while Cameron gasped. "Ability Activate, Needle Punch!" Gleamroller was speeding towards Blazeon with spikes sticking out of his four fists for maximum damage.

Both Cameron and Blazeon braced themselves before the familiar figure of Lunaris stood in front of them. And she took the attack and she slid on her back.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1400 / Lunaris: 1750

"Lunaris!" Cameron and Blazeon exclaimed.

Meanwhile Leonidas was chasing after Almos. "Get back here!" Leo angrily yelled.

Isolde then smirked as he was watching Leonidas. Hydrapent was purely focused on him. "You are finished man, Ability Activate, Refrigerating Beam!" the central head of Omega Hydrapent fired a very cold beam that hit Leonidas and as soon as it hit, frost was spreading through Leonidas' body.

"What the!"

"Leo!" Atom yelled as he watched Leonidas' frozen body fall from the sky, his power fell from 1000Gs.

Metal Almos: 1200 / Omega Hydrapent: 1350

Infinity Leonidas: 500

Phoenix smirked. "Haha, that's it. The dragonoid can barely move, the butterfly was taken down and Leonidas is frozen. Face it you pathetic humans, you have lost!"

Cameron looked to Atom. "I have an idea, but it's a risky one." He said.

"It's gotta be better than letting them wipe the floor with us." Atom replied.

Andreas still had a sadistic look on his face. "Your plan won't work! Gleamroller, finish off that trashy butterfly! Ability Activate, Spiked Assault!" Spikes grew all over Gleamroller's body and he ran towards Lunaris and he spun in mid-air like a drill.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1900 / Lunaris: 1250

Cera glared at Andreas. "This will shut you up! Reversion Ability Activate! Moon Reversal!" Lunaris got up and her wings were glowing white and her eyes were engulfed by a bright white glow and everything turned to negative colours for a second and time started to rewind back to before Andreas activated Spiked Assault.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1400 / Lunaris: 1750.

Cera then ran and stood in front of Lunaris."I have had enough of this. So let's end this now!" she exclaimed and Lunaris stood tall as well.

"Let us combine our talents, Cera!" Lunaris said. And a magic circle appeared underneath both Cera and Lunaris.

"Oh no, no, no, no!" Phoenix yelled. "As if I'll let that happen! Double Ability Activate, Triple Strike plus Impaling Bullet!" Almos' turbines within his mechanical parts roared as he created two duplicates of himself and he shot down towards Cera and Lunaris, who were undergoing their Reversion transformation. The Almoses' beaks turned to metal and they closed their wings, and streamlined their bodies for higher impact damage.

Metal Almos: 1900 / Lunaris: 1050

The three of them shot down towards Cera and Lunaris, but suddenly Blazeon stood in front of Cera and Lunaris. "You're going to have to get through me first, jerk!" Cameron yelled. "Double Ability Activate! Blaze Shield, plus Reversion Ability, Fire Spirit!" glowing circuit lines were seen on Blazeon's body as he quickly wrapped his wings in front of him and the blue flames were wilder than usual thanks to the power boost.

Metal Almos: 1900 / Blazeon: 1350

Blazeon managed to block Almos' attack as his fiery wings deflected the cyborg eagles. Cameron looked to Atom. "You're next snake thing, Ability Activate! Combustion Dragon!" Blazeon charged a blue ball of fire in his mouth and he shot it out towards Hydrapent, yet shockingly it missed, and missed very badly.

"Ya should work on yer aim!" Isolde mocked.

"Who said I was aiming at Hydra!" Blazeon said with a sly voice.

"WHAT!?" he saw the Combustion Dragon fireball crash into Leonidas' frozen form and it exploded on him, instantly thawing him out.

Leonidas let out an angry roar. Blazeon's power rose to 1550 while Leonidas' fell to 300

"We're back in this Leo."

"Hardly!" Phoenix mocked. "You fools are still behind us in power!"

"Not for long." Cameron said. "Do it now, Atom!"

Atom looked to Leonidas. "Alright now, Leonidas attribute change, Aquos!" Leonidas changed into the Aquos attribute and he stood tall and let out a roar.

The energy and magic that Cera and Lunaris generated had formed a pillar and she flew out of the pillar, both of them fresh in their Reversion Forms.

"Okay Cera, are you ready for this!?" Cameron excitedly asked.

"Just try to keep up, boys. Attribute change!" Lunaris and Cera were engulfed in a bright light and they had both changed their attributes to Haos.

Metal Almos: 1900 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 1400 / Omega Hydrapent: 1350

Lunaris: 1250 / Blazeon: 1550 / Infinity Leonidas: 300

"What are they doing… what's with the attribute changes?" Phoenix asked.

"Maybe they are getting desperate." Andreas figured

But Isolde let out a gasp indicating that he knew better. "Oh no, they aren't really going to use it!" he exclaimed.

"Use what?"

"It's an old Earth Brawler trick; dey called it da Triple Node. It combines da Attribute powes of their Bakugan for a tremendous power boost."

Cera smirked. "Hmpf… they took the bait." She held up another Reversion ability card. "Here we go, Reversion Ability Activate, Soothing Wings." Cera's wings shone green and it let out a huge green pulse that healed the wounds of everyone on her side. It even managed to clear Blazeon's paralysis.

Metal Almos: 1900 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 1400 / Omega Hydrapent: 1350

Lunaris: 1550 / Blazeon: 1850 / Infinity Leonidas: 600

"Oh yeah! I feel great!" Blazeon roared.

"Then let's take them down! Double Ability Activate, Blazing Rush, plus Combustion Tornado!" Blazeon covered himself in a cyclone of blue flames and he shot towards Omega Hydrapent and he quickly crashed into the central head, but Blazeon wasn't done. He flew into the air, still covered by the flaming cyclone crashed into Hydrapent two more times, striking the other two heads. Cameron threw his fist forward. "Blazeon… End it!" the flames around Blazeon intensified and he crashed into the gut of the Hydrapent.

Omega Hydrapent: 1250 / Blazeon: 2150

Hydrapent was engulfed in a bright blue flash and he then shrunk to his ball form. Isolde's life gauge fell to 10 percent.

Phoenix smirked. "Your victory will be short lived!" he placed a Fabregan Reversion ability card into his gauntlet. Cameron and Cera gasped when they saw the unfamiliar card. "Reversion Ability Activate, Phoenix Down!" suddenly Omega Hydrapent's ball form was glowing bright yellow and he was tossed back into the field and he materialized to his normal form. The snake hissed loudly. He returned to the battle on his base level of 950.

"You're not da only ones with Reversion Abilities!" Isolde said.

Atom placed as card into his gauntlet. "I've got to do something! Ability Activate! Impact Booster!" Leonidas was covered by a bright light and he shot forward to Hydrapent.

Omega Hydrapent: 950 / Infinity Leonidas: 1000

Isolde smirked. "Come and get it!" He placed a Reversion Ability in his gauntlet. "Reversion Ability Activate! Eye of Shi!" The mechanical eye on his midsection shone blue and it shot a very powerful purplish blue beam with white streaks to Leonidas. It hit and Leonidas screamed in pain as he was sent back to his ball form.

Omega Hydrapent: 1750 / Infinity Leonidas: 1000

'Infinity Leonidas, eliminated.' Atom's gauntlet notified and he watched his life gauge fall to 25 percent.

"Sorry Leo, these guys are a lot tougher than I first thought."

Leonidas opened his ball form. "Nothing that we can't handle, we just have to make sure we take them down next time."

Cameron glared at the two. He saw that Gleamroller was open. "Get him Blazeon! Ability Activate, Dragon Edge!" Blazeon covered himself in raging blue fire and shot towards Gleamroller like a cruise missile.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1000 / Blazeon: 2550

Andreas was next to reveal his Reversion Ability. "You back off! Reversion Ability Activate, Flaxen Trap!" Gleamroller turned around so Blazeon would see his back and a bright yellow, spiked carapace grew on his back.

Blazeon crashed into it and there was a bright blue explosion and Blazeon was seen flying backwards and he slid on the ground.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 2400 / Blazeon: 2150

Andreas laughed. "Flaxen Trap makes a shell grow on Sentinel Gleamroller's back and it nullifies any abilities, while increasing his power by 1000." Blazeon slowly got back up.

"Oh yeah, but it won't count because Blazeon is still standing!" Cameron said.

Andreas smiled evilly. "My Reversion Ability has two parts…" he placed a second Reversion ability into his gauntlet. "Reversion Ability Activate! Flaxen Launch!" the spiked carapace shot off of Gleamroller's back and they all crashed into Blazeon. His power dropped to 1650. Blazon was engulfed in a bright red flash and retreated to his ball form. Cameron's life gauge fell to 25 percent.

"Blazeon!" Cameron picked up his partner. "Are you alright?"

"I really thought we had him that time… but we're not done yet, are we!?"

"You better believe it!" Cameron said. He looked to Cera who was standing on Lunaris. "It's all up to you Cera." He exclaimed.

"No pressure." Cera sarcastically said.

Phoenix grinned. "Now that it's just down to you, I can do this! Gate Card Open!" the command card had shone bright white. "Reversion Leakage!" Suddenly energy began to leak from both Cera and Lunaris.

"W-what's happening!?" Cera exclaimed as she was feeling weaker.

"Reversion Leakage is a command card which makes any Bakugan in their Reversion form, lose all that increased energy."

"N-no way…" Cera fell to her knees as both her and Lunaris were losing energy.

"On top of that, you and your Bakugan will be so fatigued, that you won't be able to activate, any abilities."

"No… Lunaris… hang on…" Cera floated to the ground and her butterfly wings disappeared and she was engulfed in a bright purple light and she emerged out of her Reversion Form. The same thing happened to Lunaris. Her power level dropped to 1350.

"There is nothing left to hang on to!" Phoenix exclaimed. "It's time to put you in your place human! Ability Activate, Static Hurricane!"

Metal Almos: 2000 Lunaris: 1250

Almos flapped his wings and an electrical cyclone formed in the middle of the field and Lunaris was being sucked into it. Once she was fully engulfed by it, she was being sliced by the static winds. She screamed out in sheer pain before she was engulfed by a dark purple light and she shrunk to her ball form.

Cera's life gauge fell to 25 percent. She looked fatigued as Lunaris rolled to her.

"Cera are you alright?"

She nodded. "But it's safe to say we won't be utilizing our Reversion form for a while." She said in pants.

"Don't over-exert yourself." Lunaris worriedly said.

Cera rose to her feet. "I can't rest now… Not when our backs are against the wall." She looked to both Cameron and Atom. "I need your strength, both of yours'…"

Cameron smiled. "Of course, I'm with ya all the way!"

Atom nodded. "Well giving up isn't an option is it? Let's give it our best."

Cera smiled. "Thank you." They had seen the Fabregan Bakugan returning to their partners and they looked extremely confident. "This is our come back, Gate Card Set!" she threw down her Darkus gate card. "Don't let your guard down! This is our last stand!" Cera exclaimed.

---

Aiden watched as Akira was starting to break down. "Well, what's it going to be?"

Akira looked at Aiden with tears streamed down the sides of her face, she sniffed before giving her response. "I-If I agree to your terms… will you let my mother go?"

Aiden nodded with a trusting smile. "I promise."

"NO!" Kaori screamed. "Please, don't do this Akira. I can't lose you too." She begged.

"I am sorry mother, but I have to do this. It is the only way to ensure your safety."

"Smart girl…" Aiden mock complimented.

Radion though wasn't having any of it. "NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!" Radion screamed.

"Radion, don't argue with me on this. It is the best opti-"

"ARE YOU COMPLETELY STUPID!?" Radion then closed her ball form and proceeded to bop Akira on the forehead. "I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE GIVING UP SO EASILY!"

"Radion listen to me-"

"NO! You listen to me Akira. I'm not going to stand here and let all this happen. I lost Akane as a partner, I'm not going to lose you too."

"But Radion-"

"No buts! If you are going to go through with this foolish plan, then consider our relationship over!"

Akira was stunned at her words. "I-I can't believe you would say that. You said on multiple occasions that we are sisters. So you're really going to leave me?"

"You know that's not what I want. But if you're going to go down the path of oblivion, I don't want to watch. It will be too painful…"

"So our partnership means nothing to you!?"

"You're not taking the high road with me! You let this jerk get into your head. So much so you don't even trust me anymore… but even worse… you don't trust yourself…"

"R-Radion… I-I…" fresh tears were starting to form.

"There will be time for crying later. We have work to do, so are you with me? Because I need you, and you need me."

Akira had taken in all that Radion had said, truth was she was giving up too easily. She couldn't trust herself to beat Aiden and save her mother, so she wanted to take the easiest, but most painful route. But after hearing Radion, she couldn't... she couldn't do that to herself, but more importantly, she couldn't allow herself to put Radion and her mother in even more pain. "O-okay Radion, you've convinced me."

"Atta girl, just remember. No matter what that jerk-hole says, never doubt yourself and never doubt me."

"I'll remember…" there was a brief silence before Akira continued. "Radion, what did I do to have such a wonderful partner?"

Radion chuckled and blushes were seen on the cheeks of her ball form. "A-Akira stooooop, you're gonna make me blush."

Aiden looked unamused. "Are you two done… because seeing you two kiss and make up was starting to make me sick."

Akira took a deep breath and gazed at Aiden instead of glaring at him like earlier. "I've seen it…" she threw a gate card onto the field. "…your defeat,"

Aiden laughed. "You actually think you can even battle at my level, let alone beat me? You're in way over your head."

"I'll just prove it… Bakugan Brawl, Radion stand!" Radion stood with her arms folded and a smirk on her face. "Alright, give me your best shot." The stretched her tongue out and pulled at her right, lower eye lid.

"You will pay for your tone little girl, Bakugan Brawl! Domino stand!"

Domino heavily stood on the battlefield and he glared at Radion. "I will thoroughly crush you."

Radion let out a single laugh in response to Domino's threat.

Domino: 1200 / Radion: 700

Aiden was first to start the proceedings. "This will finish you, right here! Ability Activate, Vortex Stream!" Domino blasted a purple cyclone from his mouth that sped to Raidon, her power dropped to 400 while Domino's rose to 1500.

"Radion, use your speed to avoid it!" Akira said.

"Aye-aye! Radion flew high into the sky and the cyclone followed her." She managed to shake off the attack and she landed back on the ground, unscathed. Radion giggled. "That all you got?"

"Keep it up Radion. Double Ability Activate, Needle Fury, plus Zephyr Dance!" Radion's naval gemstone shone blue and Radion had poison needles in between her fisted fingers. She sped to Domino she was unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks and the punches were very important because they were pricking the needles through Domino's body, allowing Needle Fury to take effect.

Domino: 750 / Radion: 800

Aiden glared at her. "Don't mess with me, Ability activate Dark Matter Sword!" Domino stretched out his right hand and a large sword with a curvy middle appeared in his right hand. "Now go, put that flying rotisserie out of her misery." Domino ran to her preparing to slash right through her.

Domino: 1250 / Radion: 300

Radion smiled. "You know what they say, misery is better with company… or something like that… anyway, now Akira."

Akira held up her gauntlet. "Ability Activate, Tempest Shard!" Radion hovered up into the sky and Domino stretched out his demonic wings so he could catch her.

As Radion flew up she shot a mass of energy shards to Domino which he had to block with his sword. But Radion kept up the assault and Domino was eventually sent back to his feet as Radion kept firing the energy shards. When she finally let up, Domino's sword had disappeared.

Aiden was getting frustrated. "These foolish tactics are not going to work! Your power level will always be lower."

"It's working so far." Akira said.

Domino: 950 / Radion: 300

"You won't be smiling after this! Ability Activate, Particle Shot!" a purple flaming energy sphere appeared on each of Domino's hands.

"BURN!" Domino exclaimed as he tossed them to Radion. His power rose to 1450.

Akira was quick to come up with a counter. "Ability Activate, Angel Accelerator!" A bright green aura surrounded Radion before she shot up into the sky. She avoided the two orbs that were thrown at her.

Domino: 1350 / Radion: 400

"I grow tired of this!" Aiden growled.

"You're right; I should have found a way to end this long ago. Come Bakugan Trap, Pearora!" Akira threw a spherical trap into the air and when it opened, a green flash shone and a humanoid bird with green wings instead of arms and talons appeared, she had a yellow and white mask-like face with short green hair. She had green emotionless eyes and a white scarf was around her neck and it stretched to her talon legs. She had three rainbow coloured tail feathers.

Radion laughed and she comically hugged Pearora and lifted her into the air. "Haha, welcome back squirt!" Pearora was simply emotionless and just accepted the hug.

"You really think a lousy Bakugan trap will make the difference?" Aiden exclaimed.

"Pearora is more than just a Bakugan Trap, but you'll soon find out."

Domino: 1350 / Radion – Pearora: 750

"Get in there, Pearora! Ability Activate, Velocity Strike!" Pearora suddenly disappeared in a flash and quickly re-appeared in front of Domino and she unleashed a mass of kicks with her talons, they were strong enough to temporarily daze Domino.

Domino: 1150 / Radion – Pearora: 950

"You're next Radion, Ability Activate, Tempest Weave!" Radion rose up and she fired a blast of energy from the growing bright energy sphere in her hands. The energy exploded on Domino and he fell to his knee.

Domino: 950 / Radion – Pearora: 1150

Aiden glared at her. "That's it, you are done for! Ability Activate! Link Shot!" Domino flew up and purple transparent magnifying plates appeared in front of him. He fired a purplish white beam from his mouth and as the beam passed through the plates it was increasing in power. Radion and Pearora's combined power level fell to 350.

Akira looked calm as she looked down. "Gate Card open, Change Link Force!" the beam was speeding towards Radion and Pearora but as soon as the command card activated, the beam split into eight smaller beams and they veered around the Ventus Bakugan before heading back to Domino.

"YOU BRAT!" Aiden screamed.

Domino: 150 / Radion – Pearora: 1150

Aiden thought fast and he activated his defensive ability. "Ability Activate Looming Gate!" a purple barrier that was made out of purple, transparent hexagons appeared and they blocked his own attack from hitting him. His power rose to 550 while Radion and Pearora's fell to 750

Akira looked up at both Radion and Pearora. "Okay you two, it's time."

"Yay!" Radion cheered. "It feels like forever since we've done this!"

Akira placed a card into her gauntlet. "Ability Activate, Haruna Style Ninja Combo!" Radion and Pearora had their backs to each other and a greenish, white spiky aura had engulfed them. An explosion of light consumed them and a single figure appeared, standing tall on the ground. It was Radion, but her eyes were coloured green, her blonde hair was as short as Pearora's hair, she had long thick bird-like talons and she had two sets of wings, one was angelic and the others were coloured dark green. She had a long white scarf around her neck that stretched close to the ground. She had three colourful tail feathers as well.

"OH YEAH! THIS IS AWESOME!" Radion screamed. "Thanks Pearora, you're a gem!"

Aiden stood there with a shocked expression. "W-what did you just do!?"

"Oh right, Radion and Pearora can fuse, that's what special about Pearora. They are both so compatible, that they can pull something like this off."

Domino: 550 / Kunoichi Radion: 950

Aiden laughed though. "Haha, you still can't beat me. Domino will always be the superior Bakugan. Ability Activate, Supernova!" Domino crossed his arms and a bright purple beam with white lines in it was speeding to Kunoichi Radion and it tore through the ground as it got closer to her. Domino's power increased to 1250.

Akira shook her head. "I've already seen your trick, it won't work! Ability Activate, Haruna Style, Hidden Blade!" Kunoichi Radion ran towards the Supernova blast and she was going so fast that she disappeared right from everyone's sight and she went so fast that a loud boom was heard to make it known that she had passed through the sound barrier. Aiden gasped as Supernova had easily missed her.

Domino: 950 / Kunoichi Radion: 1450

"Where did she go!?" Domino growled. Right after he asked this, he felt numerous slashes across his entire body and he yelled out in pain and a final green coloured slash was seen going across his midsection and he let out a loud grunt as he fell to his back. A dark purple light covered Domino and he bounced back to Aiden in defeat. Aiden's life gauge fell to 50 percent and the look on his face reflected pure shock, he did not expect to lose to her.

Radion and Pearora split and they both shot back to Akira and she smiled as she caught them. "Excellent execution." She complimented.

"Yeah, I'll say. Let's fuse again!" Radion exclaimed.

"I am not too sure if Pearora is up for it-" she saw Pearora's ball form nod to Radion, trying to tell her that she wanted to fuse again. "If you are sure, then we'll do it again. But now that he will see it coming, we have to be vigilant."

"Vigilant is my middle name!" Radion cheerily yelled.

"Don't get cocky, you lousy human. This battle is over! Gate Card Set!" he threw his gate card onto the ground. "It's over for you; I will tear that Ventus Radion from your hands. Bakugan Brawl! Domino Stand!"

Akira glared at him. "Radion belongs to no one, because she is my sister! Bakugan Brawl, Radion Stand!" Radion stood and hovered in the air. "And Bakugan Trap, Pearora!" Pearora formed in the sky as well.

Domino: 1200 / Radion – Pearora: 1050

"You know what to do! Ability Activate! Haruna Style, Ninja Combo!" Both Radion and Pearora fused together and when they became Kunoichi Radion again, their power level rose to 1250

"Now let's see how this Domino falls!" Radion quipped.

---

"Ability Activate, Meteor Scales!" scales leaked off of Lunaris' wings and she sent them towards Almos.

"Nice try you inferior scum, Ability activate, Hailing Destruction!" the javelin guns came out of their slots and they all aimed towards the scales and they fired relentlessly at the scales, completely countering Lunaris' ability.

"Not a bad move…" Lunaris said.

Metal Almos: 900 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 900 / Omega Hydrapent: 950

Lunaris: 750 / Blazeon: 750 / Infinity Leonidas: 1000

Cera turned to Atom. "Okay, you're up!"

Atom placed an ability card into his gauntlet. "Our turn Leo! Ability Activate! Opposite Burst!" suddenly a dark purple aura surrounded Lunaris and that energy then covered Leonidas. He roared and flew towards Hydrapent.

Omega Hydrapent: 950 / Infinity Leonidas: 1300

Isolde quickly responded with his own ability. "Ability Activate, Hydro Whirlwind!" three rings of water surrounded Hydrapent, and when Leonidas got close to striking him, he disappeared from his sight. Leo was surprised and Hydrapent was behind him. His power rose to 1300, tying him with Leonidas. "Take this! Ability Activate, Trinity Repeater!" his three mouths opened and he was charging. Hydrapent's power rose to 1850 and Leonidas' fell to 750.

Atom though was prepared for the fight back. "Time Surge!" Leonidas slowed Hydrapent and he ducked under the electric orbs.

Blazeon was speeding towards Sentinel Gleamroller.

"Pretty bold of you, to attack me head on," Andreas commented. "Ability Activate, Shock Ball!" Gleamroller created an electric ball with his four hands and he tossed it towards Blazeon.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1300 / Blazeon: 750

Cameron was prepared for that attack. "Not this time, kick it Blazeon!" 'Ability card set' "Ability Activate, Neo Hummer!" Blazeon was covered in a red aura and he easily avoided Gleamroller's attack. "You're not paralyzing us this time!" his power rose to 850

Andreas glared at him. Cameron saw that Leonidas was struggling with Hydrapent. Blazeon saw his concerned look and Blazeon sped towards the Aquos Bakugan. "Where do you think you're going!?"

"I'm helping out a team-mate. Ability Activate, Nova Wing!" Blazeon's wings ignited and he chucked fire rings towards Hydrapent, but he disappeared from Blazeon's sight, making the attack miss.

Omega Hydrapent: 1650 / Blazeon: 1250

Then Atom had an idea. "You may be fast, but let's see if you can deal with three Leos. Double Ability Activate! Light Split, plus Triad of Elements!" Leonidas split into three and each of them gained 500Gs. One of the copies was Pyrus and the other was Aquos.

Omega Hydrapent: 1650 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 1300

Blazeon: 1250 / Leonidas(x3): 1250

Aquos Leonidas shot straight for Hydrapent and Pyrus Leonidas shot straight for Gleamroller. Haos Leonidas looked to Blazeon. "I'm going to assist Lunaris in the sky, take care of things down here!" He shot upwards into the air and he hovered between Lunaris and Metal Almos.

"Oh you back right off!" Phoenix angrily yelled. "Ability Activate, Zephyr Javelins!" the Javelin guns quickly flipped around to their other sharp end and they all shot to Haos Leonidas.

Metal Almos: 900

Lunaris: 750 / Haos Leonidas: 700

Lunaris hovered in front of him. "Ability Activate, Solar Wall!" a curtain of light formed in front of both Lunaris and Leonidas and the javelin guns bounced off, leaving Almos momentarily with out the assistance of them.

Atom quickly placed an ability card into his gauntlet. "Ability Activate, Infinity Strike!" Leonidas' hand was wrapped in a multi-coloured light and he flew to the vulnerable Almos and he struck him quickly with that hand as it looked like he passed through him. Haos Leonidas was ascended to 1000Gs.

Cera was next to strike. "We're not letting up, Ability Activate, Darkening Arrow!" Lunaris formed a plasma bow and arrow and proceeded to shoot the arrow to Almos. Lunaris rose to 1000 while Metal Almos fell to 650.

"We're shifting gears, Almos. Ability Activate, Charge Cycle!" the sound of a raging turbine was heard and Almos was able to easily avoid the plasma arrow. Everywhere he flew, he was leaving after images.

Metal Almos: 1150

Lunaris: 1000 / Haos Leonidas: 1000

Cera turned to Atom. "I think we have to initiate our plan." Atom nodded to her request.

Cameron smiled. "Yeah, I hear ya!"

Atom pulled out an ability card. "Okay, just one more thing…"

Cera smirked. "Gate Card open! Full Moon – Haos!" The gate card opened and Lunaris had become white and yellow, highlighting her attribute change to from Darkus to Haos. "We're ready!" Cera exclaimed.

Atom then placed the ability card into his gauntlet 'Ability card set.' "Ability Activate…"

"PYRUS!" Cameron yelled, Blazeon and Pyrus Leonidas was surrounded in a growing red aura.

"AQUOS!" Atom screamed and Aquos Leonidas was covered in a blue aura.

"HAOS!" Cera exclaimed, Lunaris and Haos Lunaris was surrounded in a bright yellow aura.

"ULTRA TRIPLE NODE!" all three of them yelled. With their attributes forming the light half of the Hexagonal Attribute circle, their power levels had each increased by 600Gs.

Metal Almos: 1150 / Sentinel Gleamroller: 1300 / Omega Hydrapent: 1650

Lunaris: 1600 / Blazeon: 1850 / Pyrus Leonidas: 1850 / Aquos Leonidas: 1850 / Haos Leonidas: 1600

Isolde's eyes grew. "D'ey did it, D'ey activated da Triple Node!" he fearfully said.

"It doesn't matter; they are still weak humans in my eyes!" Andreas said. "I will destroy that Dragonoid once and for all myself! Then when I do, Zavanna will come back to me! Double Ability Activate! Spark Wheel, plus Fusion Ability Spiked Monsoon!"

Gleamroller curled up into a wheel and electric sparks were surrounding him, then yellow spikes grew out of his body, drastically increasing his damage output and power level. The Spark wheel took away 800 from Blazeon, leaving him at 1050 while the fusion Ability increased his power level by a staggering 1200Gs to bring Gleamroller to a total of 2500Gs.

Andreas was laughing. "Finally, I'll take that Dragonoid from you! And everything will go back to normal!"

Gleamroller got close to Blazeon and a very loud crash was heard and almost everyone was shocked by what happened as Blazeon had stretched his three fingered, draconian hand and stopped the momentum of Sentinel Gleamroller, despite the huge lack in power. Both he and Cameron were surrounded in a growing red aura. "For once will you… SHUT UP!" Blazeon threw Gleamroller back and he slid on the ground.

"Impossible, the difference in power is more than 1000Gs!" he said.

"Bakugan isn't simply a number's game… and neither is life." Cameron said. "You keep saying that I took Zavanna from you, but she didn't even want to marry you!"

Andreas stepped back. "N-no… you're lying… you're a liar."

Cameron and Blazeon were being surrounded by blue flames. "Believe what you want, but she was going into a marriage that she wasn't happy with. She was probably going to run away eventually."

"S-stop lying! I love Zavanna, and she loves me!"

"No… what I see from you is that you want to own her! That's not love!"

"And what would you know, you weak human!"

"Honestly… not much, but I know this much… You're lying to yourself if you think she loves you!" The blue flames intensified and they grew and both Cameron and Blazeon had changed into their Reversion Forms. "I'm going to shut you up!" Once the transformation was complete, Blazeon's power was at 1250

"Don't get cocky just because you have a Reversion Form!" Phoenix exclaimed. "I'm shutting you down! Core Blast!" the blue power core on Almos' chest was glowing and it was charging a blue beam and it was aimed for Blazeon. Metal Almos' power rose to 1650. The beam fired. Atom though was sharp and saw a way to keep the attack from hitting Blazeon.

"Not today, Ability Activate, Correlation Shield - Pyrus and Ventus!" a green transparent shield generated in front of Blazeon and it looked to absorb the beam from Almos because it was a Ventus Ability.

He then turned to Cera. "Cera, let's take out Almos."

"Fine, just make sure you back me up!" Cera placed a card into her gauntlet. "Ability Activate! Lightwing Arrow!" Cera made a bright yellow plasma bow and arrow.

"My turn, help her out Leo. Ability Activate Mythical Booster!" Leonidas aimed his hand to Lunaris and a bright yellow energy has surrounded her. "Enjoy the power boost; Lunaris' ability will be twice as strong."

Cera smirked. "Alright, we're ending this! Lunaris, do it!"

Phoenix got scared. "NO, get out of there!" suddenly Metal Almos was held in place by both Pyrus and Aquos Leonidas.

"You're not going anywhere!" They both exclaimed.

Lunaris was about to let go of the plasma arrow and the bright yellow aura around her only flared up. She released the arrow and it shot right through Almos, and there were shards of metal that fell to the ground.

Metal Almos: 450 / Lunaris: 2100

Almos screeched as he was engulfed in a green flash and he shrunk to his ball form and he shot to Cera's hand. "Sorry, but you lose… I am keeping him."

"NO!" Phoenix yelled. "YOU GIVE HIM BACK RIGHT NOW!"

Isolde was lost within his own thoughts. "Dis is very bad, I've already used my Reversion Ability, and they are so much stronger thanks to that Triple Node." "Nah way, I am getting outta here!" he placed a card into his gauntlet. "Ability Activate, Eject Button!" suddenly Omega Hydrapent was engulfed in a bright blue aura and he returned to Isolde's hand, his life gauge fell straight to zero.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Andreas yelled.

"I am simply protecting ma assets; d'ere is no way I'll let these humans get their hands on ma Omega Hydrapent."

"STAND AND FIGHT YOU COWARD!"

"Dat's da problem with some of you, there are some battles ya simply have to run from…And dis is one of them, I'm gonna find Aiden, and we're goin' ta get off of dis rock." He looked to Cameron, Cera and Atom. "I'll be seein ya around, Brawlers." He ran off.

"Hey!" Cameron angrily exclaimed.

"What a coward, he won't even stay to help his friends." Atom said.

"That's where we are different… they aren't friends… they are temporary allies… but it's clear to see, that Aquos battler will only fight if there is no risk to him." Cera noted.

Andreas was stunned by what was happening. Phoenix was defeated and he had lost Metal Almos in the process, Isolde had cut and run, leaving just him against five Bakugan, one of them in a Reversion form no less. He started laughing manically. "It doesn't matter… I'll crush them… I'll crush them all! Then… Zavanna will have to come back to me… she must…"

"He's lost it!" Atom said.

Cameron cracked his knuckles. "Oh man, I almost feel bad for taking him down… Almost." He said with a grin.

Atom was shocked while Cera narrowed her eyes at her. "You need to get a better grip on the personality of your Reversion form." Cera said.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 2500 / Blazeon: 1250

"Let's make this quick Blazeon! Double Ability Activate! Reversion Ability - Dazzling Wing Slash, plus Fusion Reversion Ability – Boosted Overdrive!"

Both Atom and Cera stepped back as the wings of Cameron and Blazeon were engulfed in mystical white flames. "Let's finish him Blazeon!" They both flew towards Sentinel Gleamroller both performing battle cries as they got closer.

Sentinel Gleamroller: 1300 / Blazeon: 2450

Andreas stepped back as he saw Blazeon speeding to him. He was fumbling over his cards and he finally put one in his gauntlet. "No, stay back! Ability Activate, Alpha Aegis!" Sentinel Gleamroller stood tall and he had a blue outline surrounding him. Andreas watched Gleamroller's power rise to 1700Gs.

"It's over!" Cameron and Blazeon yelled. They both flew up and they both diagonally slashed Gleamroller with their wings, they flew past each other in a white X formation. Gleamroller was in extreme pain and he shrunk to his ball form. After he bounced to Andreas, the Fabregan watched as his life gauge fell to 25 percent.

"N-no… that shouldn't have happened! Alpha Aegis is supposed to nullify the opponent's ability. So why did-"

Cameron chuckled. "I'm not sure, maybe only a Reversion Ability can nullify a Reversion Ability. It's a shame you used yours so early, I would have had some trouble beating you if you still had it."

"Don't patronize me, you pathetic human! I am not done yet!"

"Yes you are, I don't care how good you are. You aren't beating the three of us in a third round brawl."

Andreas started to chuckle. "So I take it that this is the part where you imprison me, or take my life. I couldn't possibly run with you in your Reversion form."

Cameron outstretched his hand. "Don't be so dramatic!" he sternly said. "So how about I offer you something else, if you help us, you can see Zavanna again."

Andreas' eyes lit up but he then glared at Cameron. "I don't need your charity!"

"Well from what I saw, you weren't getting any from the Fabregans. But I can see you really like Zavanna, so I guess can give you a chance to talk with her."

"You think she will take me back!?" he excitedly asked.

"No…" Cameron truthfully answered. "But if you feel the way you do about her, then you should hear her side of why she left…"

Andreas looked to Phoenix who looked like he was sobbing into the ground so no one could see him crying. "What about him?"

"Eh… we'll take him too I guess… probably not a good idea to leave him out here…" Cameron said. "But I'll need your gauntlets."

Andreas shakily took off his gauntlet and gave it to Cameron. He then shot a blue fireball at it, instantly turning it into soot. "Sorry, but we can't have you trying something funny behind our backs."

Cera and Atom walked up to him. "Are you sure this is a good idea. Zavanna and Enki I can understand, but these two hate our guts, and the guts of Humanity." Cera reminded.

"Yeah… but… well… if they can help us in any way, then that's good right?"

Atom shrugged his shoulders. "Your call man."

"I don't like this, we better keep eyes on them at all times if we are going to take them in." Cera said.

"Fine with me," Cameron said, but he remembered the reason why they were there. "Oh man, we forgot about Akira!"

---

Aiden glared at Akira but it turned into a grin. "What am I getting worked up for, when my victory is assured. And after my allies defeat your friends, they will help me and we will take you and/or your Bakugan to Fabrega by force." Akira chuckled. "Where's the humour in that?"

"You seem so sure of yourself that you will actually win this… not on my watch and my friends aren't as weak as you think they are, even that Atom guy. We were chosen by Draconoid for a reason."

"Tch, shut up like Draconoid means anything to the modern Fabregan. I will grind you to dust, tiny human."

"Sheesh…" Radion said. "No need to be so dramatic."

"Shut up, now we brawl!"

Akira looked to her mother. "Mother, I promise to give you a full explanation when we are done here." She nodded with a faint smile. "Okay, this is it Radion."

Domino: 1200 / Kunoichi Radion: 1250

Aiden was the first to start. "Let's get started, Ability Activate, Vortex Stream!"

"FALL!" Domino exclaimed as he generated a purple horizontal tornado from his maw and it sped to Radion.

Domino: 1500 / Kunoichi Radion: 950

"You're going to use a wind attack against a Ventus Bakugan, alright… time to counter Radion. Ability Activate, Angel Accelerator!" Radion had a green aura surrounding her and she daringly flew right through the tornado and she came out of it completely unscathed. Her power increased to 1050.

"C'mon, you've got to do better than that!" Radion mocked.

"You impudent…" Domino looked to Aiden. "I grow tired of this; I want to eliminate this whelp!"

"The only one getting eliminated is you!" Radion exclaimed.

"Double Ability Activate, Velocity Strike plus Zephry Dance!" Kunoichi Radion's naval was glowing blue and her talons had shone and she flew down to Domino.

Domino: 1300 / Kunoichi Radion: 1650

A smirk was present on Aiden's face. "Haha, you should be careful about charging in like that, Ability Activate, Looming Gate!" a barrier made of purple see-through hexagons appeared in front of Domino.

Domino: 1700 / Kunoichi Radion: 1250

Radion was about to land on the barrier. Akira though looked like she had something still to play. "If you're going to keep stacking the deck, then so shall I. Fusion Ability Activate, Dancing Firestorm!"

Radion's gemstone went from shining blue, to yellow and green fire surrounded her. "Brace yourself." Radion smugly said as her power rose to 1800.

Radion slashed right through the shield using Pearora's talons and she then unleashed fiery kicks and punches, but it was mostly kicks as she was still being boosted by Pearora's Velocity Strike."

Aiden glared at her. "You're running out of cards to use, aren't you? You need a combination of abilities to keep up with me using just one. Now I will control this battle! Gate Card Open, Atro's Revenge!" the command card opened and Domino was absorbing all the dark energy that the command card was generating, his eyes glowed yellow and suddenly his power shot up by 2000Gs, putting him at 3700Gs. Akira gasped. "Haha, my victory is assured, with this command card. Domino is at an un-catch-able power level, not to mention that no ability will be able to lower his power level and a Bakugan God created this card so nothing can break it.

Akira knew she was staring at defeat so she thought of something desperate. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A green cyclone was surrounding Akira and a much bigger variant was surrounding Kunoichi Radion.

"What is happening!?" Aiden yelled.

Radion emerged in her Reversion form, but she looked slightly different because she was still fused with Pearora, this meant that she still had the long scarf and the rainbow coloured tail-feathers, her talons were white and she had three pairs of wings as opposed to two. Pearora's dark green wings were in between the two angelic ones.

Akira came out of the cyclone in her Reversion Form; her messy white hair was glowing slightly. She also had the changes that effected Radion's appearance, due to being fused with Pearora.

Radion screamed as she could feel sheer power coursing through her. "WOW, I've never felt this powerful before."

Domino: 3700 / Kunoichi Radion: 2000

"Okay Radion lets… argh!" she held her head and so did Radion. "It's Pearora, she can't hold onto being fused with you in your Reversion Form."

"Then we've got to make this quick!" a new Reversion Ability card materialized in between Akira's fingers. "Reversion Ability Activate, Haruna Style, Forbidden Blade!" Suddenly a ninja blade made of light appeared in Kunoichi Radion's hand and it was leaking all sorts of green energy. She then flew up into the air briefly before she dove to the ground. She screamed and she impaled the light blade into the ground, and green coloured cracks were spreading across the command card. Suddenly the kanji for Wind (風) appeared before the command card exploded. Suddenly Akira had the blade of light too and she sped to Domino, she slashed him several times but he didn't feel any pain. "With your command card nullified, you're not going to be so invincible anymore!"

Domino: 1700 / Kunoichi Radion: 2000

"But that Ability… it didn't increase your power?" Aiden asked.

"The Haruna Style, Forbidden Blade can only be used when Radion, Pearora and I are one, its effect depends on the wishes of me and Radion. Radion wished for your command card to be nullified, as for me... I wish to disable your Supernova!" the wind kanji appeared on Domino and he felt a lot of pain as his Supernova ability was disabled."

"N-no… I needed that card!" Aiden exclaimed.

"Really? Too bad."

Suddenly Pearora's features on both Radion and Akira had turned to green energy and the energy had materialized on the centre of the battlefield, forming the Trap Bakugan in her real form, but she then was engulfed by a bright green flash and she sped to Akira's hand. Radion's power dropped to. 1650. She then whispered to Pearora. "You did well my friend, we'll take over from here."

Aiden started laughing. "Haha, I'm back in the lead now. So you know what that means right!? Ability Activate, Dark Matter Sword!" Domino formed the large sword and was going to slam it on Radion. His power rose to 2200 and Radion's fell to 1150

Akira then flew in front of Radion. "Laugh it up! Reversion Ability Activate, Angelic Purity!"

Domino: 2200 / Radion: 1550

A fiery halo appeared above Akira's head. A fiery green spherical barrier surrounded both her and Radion. Domino slammed the sword on both of them, creating a huge explosion. Domino stepped back and laughed.

However through the smoke, both he and Aiden saw Radion and Akira, virtually unscathed. Their flaming halos soon fizzled out. Akira smirked. "Was that supposed to hurt?"

Aiden became livid. "I'll make you pay, for showing me such disrespect! Ability Activate Link Shot!" Domino flew up and he made purple, circular transparent reflectors appear in front of him. He then fired a purplish white beam from his maw, the blast was getting bigger as it was going through the reflectors.

Domino: 2200 / Radion: 750

Akira wasn't scared as she put an ability card into her gauntlet. "Okay Radion, Reversion Ability Activate, Tempest Edge!" She extended her wings and they became crystalized. She flew right into the path of Domino's Link Shot!

When Domino saw this he started laughing. "You fool, you've just assured your defeat!"

"Did I now?" Akira replied and though the smoke that was created when Radion was hit, she flew out of the smoke and her crystalline wings dark purple and surrounded by purple electric bolts.

"N-no! That's not possible!"

"Tempest Edge has the added ability of absorbing any ranged attack and using that power against the opponent."

Domino: 2200 / Radion: 1950

"And I'm not done yet! Fusion Reversion Ability Activate! Tempest Barrage!" both Radion and Akira had tribal markings appear on their bodies before surrounded in green cyclones. Their crystalline wings became sharper, almost like razor blades. They both flew towards Domino at high speed, the cyclones then turned into wind blades that were surrounding them.

Domino: 1500 / Radion: 2650

"I will not accept this! Double Ability Activate, Dark Ultima plus Fusion Ability – Solar Storm!" bright yellow winds surrounded Domino and a whitish purple energy was seen in his hand. He punched the ground, making a giant shockwave or dark and solar energy move towards Akira and Lunaris. This brought Domino's power up to 2400 and Radion's was brought down to 1950.

When the explosion cleared Akira and Radion were both falling to the ground, they looked motionless as they headed for the surface.

"NO! AKIRA!" Kaori yelled, horrified that she saw her daughter was about to fall to her possible death. This was all Akira needed to refocus her attention. Her eyes shot opened and her wings extended to slow her decent.

She and Radion hit the ground and they engulfed by dust. When it cleared both Akira and Radion were on their right knee, almost in the exact same stance. Both were breathing heavily and glared at Aiden and Domino. Kaori took a sigh of relief. Aiden on the other hand glared at them, his eyes shrank too. "H-HOW! No one has survived the Solar Storm fusion ability."

"Really?" Radion asked. "Good thing no one told us that." She said with a smirk.

Akira looked like she was limping but she toughed it out and stood tall. "You… are… done!" Akira already had two cards in her gauntlet and activated them. "Double Reversion Ability Activate, Angel Drive, plus Haruna Style, Ninjitsu Split!" suddenly two more pairs of Radion and Akira appeared on the battlefield. And they were all covered in a green aura and their wings were leaking green sparkles.

Domino: 2400 / Radion: 2500

All six of them flew around Domino and Aiden as an attempt to confuse them.

Aiden looked confident and when he saw they were slowing down, he saw caught a glimpse of the real Akira and Radion.

"Gotcha, Ability Activate, Particle Shot!" Domino created two light purple energy spheres with flaming energy surrounding them. He tossed them to the real Radion and Akira.

They were both hit by the attack and suddenly time slowed down in their minds. Radion and Akira were shocked after they were hit and they were flying back.

Domino: 2900 / Radion: 2500

Aiden smirked as he saw his adversaries falling to the ground in defeat. However before they did, he noticed a slight smirk on Akira's lips.

When they hit the ground, they disappeared in a puff of white smoke. The same thing happened to the second pair of Radion and Akira. "WHAT!" He then heard Akira's voice but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Double Reversion Ability Activate…"

"NO!" Aiden yelled.

"Velocity Dance…" Radion shot out from out of nowhere and her gemstone turned pink and she had streaks of wind surrounding her. She threw several hard punches and kicks before she dazed him with an elbow and sent him into the sky with a powerful kick.

Domino: 2700 / Radion: 3000

But that wasn't the end of it because as Domino was heading into the sky, a bright green glint could be seen. This glint was Akira and she was speeding down towards Domino. "…plus… Supersonic Blitz!" Akira extended her arms in the air as she fell, her wings extended, her gemstone shone blue and her body was covered in a multi-coloured, rainbow aura. She shot down towards Domino at the speed of a bullet, she broke the sound barrier as she got closer and closer to her target.

"NO, NO, NO, NO!" Aiden yelled. "STOP, STOOOOOOP!"

Akira was laser focused and before she performed the final strike… "AAAHHH!" she flew right through Domino causing colossal damage, he was covered in rainbow fire and it could be seen that he had lost his right arm as Akira flew through him.

Domino: 2400 / Radion: 3550

Akira hit the ground and she had seen the bulk of Domino turned to his ball form and he fell right into Akira's palm.

Aiden's eyes were the size of peas and he couldn't believe that he lost and on top of that, he had lost Domino.

Akira got back up and she looked at the Darkus Bakugan in her possession. She glared at Aiden with a serious look in her eyes. "Get. Off. This. Planet!" she commanded. She heard a twig snap and saw Isolde running over to the pair of them.

"Sir we need ta… oh no…" Akira glared at him as well. "Aiden, get us out of here! We can't stay here fir much longer." Aiden shook his head and regained his focus and he saw Akira running to her mother. "Ya mean you lost too!? Dis is very bad."

Akira glared at the pair, she wasn't alone though as the rest of her team joined her. She noticed Cameron was in his Reversion form and Blazeon crashed into the ground beside them. "Come with me," she said to Cameron. They both faced Isolde and Aiden who were about to leave through a portal back to Fabrega. "HEY!" Akira exclaimed. "You listen to this clearly, and then spread it to every low-life Fabregan that you know!" Isolde gulped after hearing Akira's serious voice. "If you want to come after me, or my friends, fine!" she took a step forward and a green aura was growing around her. "However… the rest of our friends and families on Earth are off limits! If I hear that you've kidnapped one of our loved ones, or hurt them in anyway…" Her white hair was letting off white pulses and her wings spread out. "There will be nowhere you can hide from us! Are we clear!?"

Isolde nodded rapidly and Aiden only gave a single nod, but he avoided eye contact with her. He still hasn't accepted that he had lost so badly to her. With that they left into a dimensional portal without saying another word.

Once they were gone, Akira sighed and she fell to her knees. She glanced to her friends. "Took you long enough…"

"Maybe next time we won't come and save your butt." Cera joked while folding her arms.

"AKIRA!" Kaori kneeled down and hugged her daughter.

"Ow… a little lighter… the wings are aching a bit." Akira said.

"I-Is this permanent?" she asked.

"Oh no… give me a second." Kaori let go of her, Akira and Cameron ended their Reversion transformations and the excess energy floated off into the sky in red and green sparkles. "There… all better…"

"So did you beat him?" Cameron asked.

Akira giggled and she held out the slightly broken ball form of Domino. "Does this answer your question?"

"Whoa… you're awesome, you know that!" Cameron said while gasping. Akira tried to get up but she quickly collapsed into the arms of her mother. "Akira! Is she alright?!"

Her mother smiled as his concern. "No need for alarm… she is only asleep…"

"A battle like that is bound to take its toll on her." Radion said.

"Let's get back." Atom said. "I can make a portal for us to return."

The storm that was over Wardington had passed and dawn was slowly approaching for the start of a new day.

---

Two days had passed since the battle in Wardington. Since then, the likes of Cameron, Cera and particularly Akira could got some much needed rest. Cameron and Atom were outside the Haruna household and after knocking on the door. Kaori answered.

"Oh… um, hey… Miss Akira's mom," Cameron awkwardly greeted. "Is uh Akira home…?"

"She is in bed right now, but you can go see her."

"Thanks." Cameron said. As they walked through the house, Cameron was intrigued by something that Akira's little brother was watching on TV, he stopped for a second before Atom pulled on him. "Ow… alright I'm coming."

Akira meanwhile was looking out of her window as she was still in her black pyjamas. She heard a knock on the door. "Akira… it's me and Atom… can we come in?"

She turned to the direction of the door. "Yes you may." Both Cameron and Atom entered and Akira waved to them. "About time you decided to visit, what took you so long?"

Cameron smiled. "We had to help Cera take those two Fabregan guys to Marucho's mansion. She didn't want them at her place."

"I see, and you…?" she said looking to Atom.

Atom chuckled. "Well I just have something important that I've been keeping from you."

This got Akira's attention. "Okay… and what exactly have you been keeping from me?"

"Uh, Cameron could you give us some privacy?" Atom asked.

"Oh… okay I guess."

"No." Akira quickly said. "Anything you have to say to me, Cameron can hear it too."

"Fine, your call."

"Alright… so out with it already."

Atom gave a long sigh. "I've been travelling to different timelines and realities for a while now, and this isn't the first time I ended up in this one. The last time I was here, I met with your sister…"

Akira's eyes shrank slightly. "Y-You know Akane!?"

"Yes, we even battled together for a bit while I was here, of course she was using other Bakugan besides Radion."

"O-oh..." Akira looked down to her lap

"I know it's a lot to take in." Atom said.

"Where is she? If there is anyone who might know where she might be, it's you."

Atom sighed. "She told me she was contacted by a woman known as Venus." Both Akira and Cameron gasped. "She was told that a race on Fabrega needed their help, they were known as the Alursians if I can remember?"

"And…"

"She had no way to get there… and that's when I came in… Normally I am sent to different realities for a purpose; in this case I had to help your sister get to Fabrega. She gave me the description that Venus gave her and I did the rest."

Akira had tears streaming down the sides of her face. "So that's how she disappeared… Why didn't you stop her?"

"I didn't think it was my place to. I thought she knew what she was doing… but I probably should have said something."

"No… it's okay… I'm glad you're telling me now… So all this time, she's been on Fabrega. I assume you don't know how she is doing now?"

Atom sighed. "Sadly no, but I know that Akane was strong, so I highly doubt that she would get into big trouble."

"I see… thank you for telling me." Akira got out of the covers. "Then that only intensifies my need to get to Fabrega." She pulled her regular clothes out of the drawers. "We need to get there as soon as possible!"

"B-but Akira, what about your mother? Plus don't you need your rest?" Cameron said.

"I've rested enough… plus I told my mother everything. She was apprehensive at first, but she grew to understand the role that we are playing now. She just told me to be very careful."

"Understood, so should we head to Cera's mansion now?" Atom asked.

Akira gave a nod.

…

She walked downstairs and saw Radion watching TV with her brother. "Radion… it's time." Radion only nodded and she jumped onto Akira shoulder.

Her mother noticed and walked to them. "So you're leaving already?"

"Sorry, mother. But I can't wait for too long, we have to do what needs to be done."

"Just please come back to me, promise me that. I can't have-"

"Mother…" Akira gently cupped her mother's cheek. "I promise I will come back, okay." Her mother replied with a nod.

As they were going to the door, Akira's mother stopped Cameron. "Um, excuse me?"

"Oh me? What is it Miss Akira's mom?"

Kaori fell to her knees and grabbed Cameron's shoulders. "Please… I beg you, watch over my daughter. I'm not sure how I will sleep at night knowing that her life is in danger every time she plays that game! So please, keep her safe."

"Um… I mean of course I will. Akira's kinda special to me too, so I'll do my best to keep her safe… y-you have my word!"

"Thank you so much, and another thing. If she is hurt in anyway, you're going to hear from me! Do I make myself clear?" she said giving a menacing glare to Cameron. He could definitely see the resemblance between Kaori and Akira.

"Y-yes ma'am!" he ran over Atom and Akira.

"What did my mother say to you?" Akira asked.

"Oh… um… n-nothing…"

"It didn't sound like nothing, but whatever…"

They walked out of the door and Kaori and Akira's little brother bid their temporary goodbyes.

"See ya later sis!" her brother cheered.

"Please stay safe out there, and good luck."

Akira turned to them and she wiped a tear from her eye. "Thank you, I won't let you down."

With that the three left and were heading to Cera's mansion, but before they could get a good distance, a dimensional portal appeared. Leonidas opened his ball form and looked to Atom. "Well that looks like it's for us."

"What are you talking about?" Cameron asked.

"I'm a Reality Shifter; we don't stay in the same reality for too long." He briefly explained.

"Will the same thing happen to Garfield?" Akira asked.

"Who knows…? He's already shifted through realities once, but it's hard to tell. With that being said, give him my best regards would you?"

"We will." Cameron said.

"Thanks see ya around." Atom walked into the portal and it then disappeared.

"So should we get going?" Cameron started to walk but Akira was lagging behind. "Hey what's up?"

"Promise me that you won't tell anyone what I am about to tell you."

"Okay, I promise…"

"Cameron, this trip to Fabrega… I'm scared of what might happen… plus what if we go there and Akane is…"

"Don't say that!" Cameron exclaimed and he held her shoulders. "I know it's scary, but we're the only ones who can save Draconoid and Fabrega. And if your sister is as strong as you are, then I have no doubts that you will see her again."

Akira blushed and slightly looked away from him. "Geez, don't say things like that! But thanks… I am feeling a bit better now."

"Haha, that's the spirit!"

"Well, we shouldn't keep Cera and the others waiting." Akira walked in front of Cameron and she held out her hand.

"Uh…w-what are you…?"

"Ugh!" Tired of him not getting the point, she forcefully grabbed Cameron's hand. Her cheeks were still heating up. "D-don't tell anyone about this either."

Cameron blushed and he shook his head, before he nervously laughed. "Haha, oh of course… haha…"

Hand in hand; Cameron and Akira made their way over to Cera's mansion, where the Neo Brawlers would finally move on to their next destination: Fabrega.

A/N: Now I know why Bakugan barely did 3vs3 battles… they are a pain to write and choreograph, but I hope I pulled it off alright. Also I'd like to thank Insane Dominator for the very awesome review; it really spearheaded me into finishing this chapter. I'll see you guys in the next update.
