The entire cosmos literally spiraled over everyone's head. The liquified mass that was space was slowly turning on its axis, centering high above its origin point. If astronomy could figure out any scientific point to all of this, they would know no amount of science compared to the likes of what was manipulating this cosmic disruption. Floating several meters above the Empyrean, light distorted around the very large, humanoid dragon creature that looked anything but normal. The rainbow fillings inside his body were glowing so bright that they reminisced of suns. The ten shining wings that floated on his sides detached from the entire body. The force was so mighty that no one could looked directly at him without their eyes slightly stinging from the light around his body.

"What…is that thing?" Ren strained, struggling to look directly at its radiance.

"Did it just say…Eternal Armagedoid?" Mason grunted.

The majestic dragon in question raised his head high, the rainbow colors inside his body flaring brightly as he expelled a roar skywards. Sonic shockwaves rippled high up as all of Interacia shuddered. The atmosphere sizzled with stars that flickered around the Empyrean. Everyone covered their ears at high massive the roar was that pushed them all backs a few feet. The smaller folks like Marucho doubled over onto his back.

"Marucho!" Alice fret.

'Just what kind of crazy power is this this anyway?' Shun thought as he shielded with his forearm.

The roar gradually settled down to allow everyone a short reprieve, but many of their eardrums still rung from the last shockwave. It was painful, and many of them were already dazed enough from before. But this overwhelming, cosmic pressure was bringing them to quivering knees. They didn't have the words.

The colorful crystalline maw closed and the head peered down at them. The three shining stars on the sides of the helm twinkled brightly, as though peering down at them.

"Stay back, we don't even know what this thing's become now!" Elright cried out.

Lena looked down at her Bakumeter, though slightly cracked it was. Her eyes shrunk to the horrors that she was seeing with her own eyes.

Eternal Armagedoid: 50,000

"A power level…of 50,000?!" Paige rasped. If she wasn't out of breath before, she most certainly was now.

"How is that even possible?! No Bakugan should ever hope for a level like that all on their own!" Rafe shouted.

Jase pushed his glasses up. "It seems, that infusing himself with Riaan and Eve's essence has given Armagedoid an even greater surge than we anticipated. It's enormous indeed!"

"Hwah?! Then what do we do?!" Zenet quipped.

"Well for starters, how about staying alive?" Mason sarcastically sniped.

"For once, I can agree." Avior said.

"Everyone, stand firmly! This might be the very last chance that we have to defend our homes!" Nurzak shouted. "If we fail here now, our worlds shall be doomed to crumble at the hands of this beast!"

"He's right! We can't fall back! We didn't come all this way to shrivel in fear!" Fabia persisted, thinking for a moment about how she was helpless on the first steps of the attack on Neathia. "This carnage has gone on long enough. We have to prepare ourselves, for we have little time left!"

"Fabia…" Watching this from Neathia, Serena was standing in front of the projection. She took a moment to look out at the broken castle's opening within her chrome room to peer out at the outside world. Snowflakes were still frozen on midair over the freezing landscape as the sky continued demonstrating various shows of churning cosmic.

"Big bro…" Akira muttered anxiously at the screen with Nene and their mother.

Across Earth, various elements of tornadoes and fissures have frozen in place for the time being while the remaining populace of planet were all trying to find safe haven. Those who still had homes and were hidden away inside were looking at the broadcast through the cracked lens of the camera. Alice's grandfather, Runo, Michelle, even Luke's folks were all looking intensely at the available screens to witness the beholding of them up against such a monster.

People that were also on Vestal like Klaus and Baron's siblings were staring intensely while trying to keep shelter from the frozen, acidic rainstorm that was happening outside. Visible plants that were on the ground that haven't died yet were still in the processing of steaming and corroding away.

The very few Bakugan on New Vestroia that were still able to hold out hidden away, Preyas and Amazon looked at the waterfall that concealed them to see that it had frozen in place. They looked down at the small glowing pool of water that relayed the screening.

They all watched the many battlers stand up to Eternal Armagedoid as the dragon glowered down onto them. He floated above the ground, seeing many people that stood before him with anxious looks on their faces. His star-like points on the sides of his helm twinkled again.

"You all insist on challenging me now?" A voice rung. It sounded like a double-layered tone, with Armagedoid's speech, mixed with a mature tone.

"Huh? Hold up a second. That doesn't like just Armagedoid. Did I imagine that just now?" Radizen chimed.

Roxtor replied in gibberish.

"You heard it, too? Then I guess I'm not crazy."

"That voice that I heard just now, that's Armagedoid alright. But this presence…if feels like-" Jaakor was cut off.

"Riaan." Shun finished. "But how?"

Armagedoid glared down at everyone. "Master has used the Infinity Chaos Ability-X. It was designed as an absolute last resort, where in the events that either of us might be in fatal peril, I would absorb and infuse with his life essence." He looked down at his palm, slowly clutching it. "I can feel it…Master's power and mine…synergistically flowing inside this body. Our power, with Mother's own essence…merged into one. With their force as my blood. We will…no, I shall succeed!" He careened his head towards the sky and expelled another distorted roar. It echoed skywards, shaking the entire atmosphere once more. Everyone below tried keeping themselves from falling over again.

Fly Beetle hunkered down to keep himself from falling over, but even that was tough. Atmos, Abis, Atchibee, and Jelldon covered up, and Verias anchored his staff into the ground. They stood in front of the humans to help bunker them against this astronomical force. It took Fly Beetle everything he had so he wouldn't fall on his back.

'Just his roar alone is enough to bring Fly Beetle to a standstill?' Shuji thought grimacingly.

"Hang in there, Jelldon!" Maggie encouraged.

Atchibee fluttered over Abis. "Abis…"

"Yeah, I know. He's so powerful." He looked at Armagedoid intensely. "It's like he's a completely different Bakugan now. But, still…"

"No need to say anymore, Abis." Verias prodded himself up. "We understand. And we're behind you 110%."

"Yeah, make that 200% for me!" Jelldon reaffirmed himself, his stature completely unwavering at this point. "We've got lives at stake here! If he's got such a nerve as to mess with my friends' sake. I swear, I'm gonna…!"

"Not as I would like to have that honor, Jelldon. We've come too far to be swayed to surrender. I'd much rather-no, we will surpass this!"

Fly Beetle's hands gripped the ground to anchor him. "Heh…guess we're all on the same page then. That's good. Then that means we know what we've gotta do, huh? Then…" He stood firmly back up. "Guess we've got a lot more work ahead of us."

Armagedoid looked down at the six Bakugan that opposed him before. "I will concede to this fact. Before this instance, I would not have held my own to you six. But, that all ends now. Even with your indomitable reliance on one another, that will not be enough for you this time!"

"That's what you think, buddy!" Dan outlashed as he stepped up. "That's why they're not alone! We're here! You think it's just about them just because they actually beat you? If what you say is true, then that's why we're here then. This is our fight!"

"Dan…" Runo looked up at the monitor back home, staring at it with shock as much as admiration.

Armagedoid raised his head. "If you say such claims, then does this mean you can battle once more? If so, then prove it!"

"You asked for it!" He looked down at Drago. "Drago, I'm counting on you. Ready?"

"Yeah, Dan…I think I'm ready. That last battle wore me out, but I'm feeling much better. Let's go."

Spectra observed Helios' ball form, feeling him stir. "It seems that the essence of Eve was able to revitalize our own Bakugan as well." He looked at everyone around him. "Gus, is everyone all recharged, I take it?"

"Yes, sir. Rex Vulcan is back up with the others." He replied, holding up Vulcan's ball form. "Ready and raring to go!"

Gus smirked. "I expected no less of an answer. Very well then, let us pave the future with our own hands, shall we?!"

"Yeah!" Everyone else cheered. "Bakugan…brawl!"

Everyone threw in their Bakugan. Various attributed lights exploded up from behind Abis and his friends, including the Baku Sky Raiders as they shot up in various elements high overhead and landed in front of them. They all stood reenergized and raring to go against Armagedoid. All their partners mounted their shoulders and heads ready for a fight.

"Don't hold anything back, guys!" Dan encouraged.

"We won't fail!" Drago assured.

"Hydranoid!" Alice insisted.

"Say no more, Alice. I'm here to the bitter end."

Keegan glanced at Andro Elico, not expecting an answer, but still one no less. "…what they said. You cool with that?" The Bakugan's response was a seemingly intelligible grunt. "I'll take that as a yes then."

"This guy is going to pay for what he did to Gundalia and Neathia!" Rubanoid declared.

"That goes double for me!" Aranaut declared.

"You're both absolutely right. This battle isn't over as long as we still stand!" Fabia declared. "Time to step it up!" She pressed on her Bakumeter, getting a number of sequences activated until the others started following. "Now-!"

"Battlegear, boost!" Fabia and the Neathian and Gundalians mounted their Bakugan with Battlegear. Ren and Linehalt lead with Boomix, standing in front of the Neathians, with Aranaut and Rubanoid with their Battlegear standing right beside them.

"BakuNano! Slingpike, destroy!"

"BakuNano! Lanzato, destroy!"

"BakuNano! Bombaplode, destroy!"

Paige, Rafe, and Spectra launched their BakuNano, mounting their individual Bakugan.

"Time for the heavy artillery! Bakugan Trap, Darkus Flash Falcon Fly!" Ace threw up Flash Falcon Fly, which turned into his full form and drifted down to where Percival could mount him.

"Good idea! Bakugan Trap, Haos Piercian!" Baron threw up Piercian, who came down with a big thud next to Nemus.

"Fine by me, let's go! Bakugan Trap, Subterra Baliton!" Mira threw up a ball that had numerous spikes on it. When it opened, it transformed into a rhinoceros-like Bakugan Trap with large spikes on his back and tail. He touched down besides Wilda as he stood with Mira on his shoulder.

"Oh yeah, now we're talking!" Nemus held up his staff in readiness.

"You ready guys?" Dan asked his team. They all nodded and faced their Bakugan. "Drago! Reptak!"

"We're on it!" Drago linked forearms with Reptak as a rainbow light engulfed the two of them. "Bakugan, unite!"

Jaakor let out a loud grunt as a green aura infused with his body, along with Skytruss and Orbeum. "Bakugan, unite!" Skytruss and Orbeum shot into Jaakor's glowing body as energy arrows and infused into a bright light.

"Our turn!" Radizen jumped alongside Roxtor, the two hugging each other as their attributed lights engulfed their bodies and began mixing. "Bakugan, fuse!"

The three energy atmospheres burst open, showing Aeroblitz, Magmafury, and Betakor all touching down and glaring at Eternal Armagedoid readily along with their allies.

Abis slung into the air with Luke on his forehead and let out a battle-ready roar. He stood with his friends as their partners were allowed on their heads and shoulders. They stood united against the one creature that remained stationed in the air like nothing was going to happen.

Armagedoid eyes every last enemy, new and old. With the help of the Empyrean's sensory from before, he could detect what kinds of potential and powers they all had. And with Luke's group, he was very much familiar with. But he was better to get cocky because of familiar grounds. Riaan taught him to not get overconfident.

"Now guys, hit him all at once! Let's see what how he likes it!" Dan shouted.

"What?" Luke insisted. "Hold on a second-!"

"Ability, activate!" Dan started. "Harvey Cannon – Impact Torrent!" Aeroblitz hovered above and aimed his shoulder cannon at Armagedoid. Super-heated light projectiles expelled in vicious volleys like fire streams that blitzed into the target.

"Terra Blue!" Betakor raised his hands high and summoned aquatic, blue energy that amassed into a large bubble of water with a brown outline. He stepped forward and threw it with all his might.

"Supreme – Thunder!" Magmafury raised his knuckles and the multiple gears churned, making dark purple lightning crackle before erupting into energy blasts that went sailing.

"Helios, fire!" Spectra ordered. Helios' Bombaplode fired a massive round of dark purple energy blasts that blitzed through the atmosphere after Armagedoid/

"Heatblast Cannon!" Vulcan's hands transformed into cannons, unleashing bright orange, superheated energy beams.

"Darkus Fly Arrow!" Flash Falcon Fly transformed into his energized stun gun form and compressed Darkus energy for Percival to aim and unleash a powerful crackling energy blast.

"Hyper Earth Ball, plus Apollon Head!" Wilda manifested a heated ball of earth overhead with a hemisphere around it and fired it with a spiraling orange helix behind its wake. Baliton fired his back spikes that were connected with some rope right behind the attack.

"Sparkly Arrow, plus Tank Bunker!" Nemus raised his staff high as an orb of light energy manifested into a single point. Piercian's shields on his arms turned into giant circular mirrors that reflected the light and magnified it into twin beams that followed the orb.

"Boomix Lock!" Linehalt fired a glossy purple energy blast from Boomix that jettisoned through the air.

"Chompixx Land Breaker!" Sabator's Battlegear vibrated immensely before he plunged the tips into the ground, sending shockwaves tearing through the earth in a straight line at Armagedoid.

"Vilantor Gear Cyclatron!" Plitheon's Battlegear jutted out multiple projectiles that fired green energy beams.

"Spartablaster Sol!" Contestir ascended higher and projected bright rays of energy that radiated after Armagedoid.

"Lashor Heavy Striker!" Avior ascended and the spiked turbines fired bright orange energy beams.

"Terrorcrest Stigma!" Phosphos' armored claws slung harsh blue energy beams.

"Battlecrusher Duke!" Aranaut's cannon fired a bright yellow beam that seared through the sky.

"Destrakon Gear Vickers!" Rubanoid's multi-headed gear opened all their maws and fired bright red energy blasts that beamed straight ahead.

"You're going down!" Wolfurio jabbed Lanzato forward, the lance firing a bright yellow energy blast.

"That goes double for me!" Boulderon fired his spiked wrecking ball attached to the metal chain.

The multitude of attacks surged across the atmosphere over and around Luke and his friends' Bakugan. It looked like a one-way lightshow with a large number of multiple colors of the rainbow and various elements mixing together along the way to create a massive, rainbow energy blitz that rattled the air. Rather than defend against it, Armagedoid stood there and watched as the attack drew closer, until it seemingly engulfed him in a bolstering beam that enflamed the cosmic skies. The light of the attack seemingly traversed past him as he held his position in midair.

Encompassed within the roaring attack's combined might, Armagedoid's figment seemingly vanished within the attack's monstrous wake. It fluxed in and out, pulsating immense pressure that rattled throughout the sky.

It took several minutes for it to clear away, leaving the sky to bloom with a thin line of light that diminished within a large dust cloud.

Luke uncovered his arm and peered ahead to see what happened. He wasn't that stupid as to attack knowing what would happen. He already learned from that first mistake back on Gundalia. He and the others watched as the dust clear out to show their target's condition.

Ace unshielded himself and looked ahead. "…did it work?"

The cloud of dust swirled around a focal point, in which it started gaining momentum and suddenly compressed. Spirals of dust and rainbow energy glimmered between before a massive shockwave erupted and broke it all apart. Armagedoid let out another glistering roar that shook the air and pushed back all the dust and energy at everyone else. They all hunkered down and grunted as the shockwaves nearly pushed them down.

Dan straightened up and looked morally surprised. "It didn't work?!"

"Seriously?! That much power combined should have done some serious damage!" Drago shouted. "Just what kind of strength does this guy have…?"

"You getting all of this?!" Julie yelled at the cameraman, to which he nervously nodded. "The combined allied force attack launch was just blown away in an instant! It took all that power without even trying! What kind of Bakugan did this thing become?!"

The blast wave gradually settled down, allowing everyone feel at ease for a brief moment. But Armagedoid hardly looked fazed. There wasn't a single scratch on him.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Elright snapped. "Not even a dent in that armor!"

"Did it really just nullify all those abilities at once?" Mira grimaced.

"I doubt it. Didn't look like he was using any abilities." Keegan noted. 'Somehow I have a bad feeling about this.'

"What do we do now?!" Gunz shouted.

"Hang on, let me thing!" Shun insisted.

Alice looked up, grimacing as she looked on at something. "Hold on, look!"

Everyone watched what she meant and saw Eternal Armagedoid raise his head, unfazed by the attacks that hit him all at once. His magenta eyes gleamed brightly. "So tell me…was that your best plan? To attack me head-on thinking I could just be overpowered by sheer force? You should have paid more attention to your superior allies. If they brought me to my knees once before, why did you get so arrogant thinking it'd be best to follow your strategy."

Dan gritted his teeth. "We're just getting started! United Ability, activate! Flame Harvey Cannon!"

Aeroblitz readied his shoulder cannon and powered up an intense force of flames. "We won't go down without a fight!" He fired a bolstering yellow and red energy blast from the shoulder cannon at him. It made impact straight into the face, but it streamed around him, vaporizing all else wheel he floated in the air, unmoved, let alone even close to fazed by the attack. Drago eventually let up and was taken back that nothing worked. "What?"

"…" Armagedoid just glared ahead, not looking anywhere nearly as amused as anyone would have wanted.

"It didn't do anything?" Rubanoid wondered.

"Let's see if this tough guy likes a little stargazing then! Jesse!" Plitheon quipped.

Jesse sneered. "Very well then. Let us find this menace's plot within this tail. Ability, activate! Life Eater!"

Plitheon ascended high into the sky, spreading his arms out. "Here comes a gift from above!" He sneered. His body expelled green pellets that dropped down around Armagedoid. The ground around him erupted, but as they struck Armagedoid, he didn't look troubled. In fact, he seemed just fine.

Jesse looked at his power gauge on his Bakumeter. Even now, it still read 50,000 for Armagedoid. 'His power level didn't decline?'

"Jesse! Watch out!" Ren screamed.

Armagedoid looked up and spotted Plitheon sailing with his Vilantor Gear's turbines pushing him in a circle around. He eyed him carefully as he reached out with his pals facing his trajectory, revealing a rainbow gem shimmering intensely gathering up dark rainbow energy. Once it was fully charged, he timed it just right before his eyes glimmered intensely.

"Saber Nebula!"

The gemstone gleamed in numerous variables in a split second before a compressed beam of piercing light exploded outwards with rainbow shock ripples. It sped so fast that Plitheon was too shocked to even react to it in time.

Speeding in faster than the speed pf sound, Atmos grabbed Plitheon by his talons. "Incoming!" He yanked Plitheon out of the way at the split-second before impact and veered away. It was so close that the Vilantor Gear broke apart by the stress of the shockwaves. Atmos glided Plitheon out of range of the ongoing beam that seared into the sky, seemingly vanishing far into the distant stars. A moment passed before a literal hole in space was torn open by the piercing concentrated light.

Everyone below looked on in shock and horror to what they were seeing. They have never seen anything like this in their lives. Even those at home watching this through the broadcast were left gaping at the power of the attack.

"Hold on! Did it…did it just cut through space?!" Julie gaped in horror. "THAT'S TOTALLY INSANE!"

"Impossible!" Dan yelled.

"Did his powers evolve to where it can even split apart the fabric of space?!" Shun pondered.

Atmos continued sailing while holding onto Plitheon. Jase looked back and saw the lightsaber was coming down onto them still. It was following Armagedoid's swipe to cut through them. Doing an evasive maneuver, he let go of Plitheon for Jelldon to grab hold of and yanked him away in time for both to evade the saber beam. It arched over everyone's heads and sliced through the atmosphere. The shockwaves generated by the cutting edge ruptured beneath a lot of Bakugan, especially the lighter ones.

"Gyah!" Contestir barely ducked beneath the saber, but the wake was so close that it shredded his Battlegear off his back.

"Contestir!" Zenet panicked. Just as she was worrying about how painful the landing was going to be, Andro Elico swooped on and caught Contestir, supporting him until they touched the ground. "Thanks!"

The saber's sweep went just below Avior, causing him to jerk up a few feet to avoid his toes from getting sliced off. "Woah, easy there!" Mason yelped. "That was too close for comfort!"

The lightsaber thinned out within the gem palm, allowing some measure of levity. However, nobody was anywhere nearly as fast as two of their allies were dazed from that attack. Plitheon and Contestir grunted as they stood up thanks to Jelldon and Andro Elico supporting them.

"Let's shut down his abilities then!" Lena reached out her arm to direct Phosphos. "Ability, activate! Tri Viper!"

Phosphos' tree main maws opened wide and fired blue energy-like venom that sped into Armagedoid. The Bakugan made no attempt to move as he allowed the venom to hit him. However, upon impact, the venom blast sizzled and steamed along the skin. It faded away, until nothing of it was left.

Lena's eyes widened in superb disbelief. "Impossible…the venom had no effect?"

"Gnnnngh! Let's try this one then!" Zenet held up an ability. "Time to get back at them! Ability, activate! Bleach Out!" Contestir held out a palm and generated a yellow mass of crackling energy. He fired it at Armagedoid, but like Phosphos, it made impact, yet no effect happened. He just floated there, unfazed by even a single gust of wind.

Contestir stepped back out of precaution. "How is he doing that?"

Armagedoid raised an arm and gave a firm swipe across, sending a shockwave that crashed into both Bakugan. Both Lena and Zenet were unable to hang on and fell off their partners.

"Lena! Zenet!" Ren screamed. Linehalt hurried and caught the two women before they hit the ground hard.

Armagedoid raised his single tail with three giant rainbow streamers on the ends and swatted the ground with them, sending three linear shockwave of rainbow energy that spliced through the Empyrean ground into Phosphos and Contestir's dazed states. Both Bakugan cried out in pain as they immediately reverted to ball form.

"With just from swinging it's limbs?!" Luke grunted, covering up on Abis' forehead.

"You're gonna pay for that!" Avior flew through the shockwave's dust and dove right for Armagedoid.

The dragon looked on as he saw the oncoming fellow dragon with machinery.

"Ability, activate!" Mason shouted. "Long Aercules!" Avior opened his maw wide and fired a streaming, orange energy blast that darted for Armagedoid.

The dragon looked on and used his forearm to block the beam, and ended up backhanding the entire ability's force off to the side. The beam dispelled and the shockwaves created pushed Avior back through the air. Mason grunted as he tried hanging on for dear life. As Avior was sent flying back, Percival flew atop of Flash Flacon Fly with Dain Slief while Nemus took the support.

"You're gonna pay!" Percival slashed with all his might, sending a bright purple slash wave at Armagedoid.

"That goes double for me!" Nemus threw another Sparkly Arrow with the slash wave.

Both attacks closed in at the same time, but Armagedoid floated in place and used his streamers to pierce through the attacks and streamline for Percival and Nemus, completely throwing off their momentum. Nemus and Percival were able to veer away. However, Flash Falcon Fly wasn't so lucky.

As Percival was forced to jump, Flash Falcon Fly's slower maneuverability through the air made him vulnerable to the attack. The streamer tail shot like a rainbow spear, piercing clean through his body and causing an immense cry of pain from the Bakugan himself.

"Flash Falcon Fly, NOOOOO~!" Ace cried, reaching pout for him helplessly.

Flash Falcon Fly let out another shrilled cry as his body went limp. His body gradually faded into bright purple particles that dissipated through the air right before everyone's eyes.

Percival and Nemus glided slowly towards the ground, but the two remaining streamer tails made sudden U-turns back at them. Percival was still too great in shock, and as Nemus, to detect and react in time to the tail heading their way.

"Ability, activate! Minion Deluder!"

Suddenly, red electricity struck their bodies, causing them to become momentarily paralyzed in thought and reaction. Their bodies suddenly moved on their own at high speed out of the range. When they were safe, the electricity dissuaded to reveal Maggie and Jelldon.

"Are you guys alright?!" Maggie shouted.

"Maggie?!" Baron gasped. "You saved us! Thanks!"

"Yeah…" Ace looked back, crestfallen beyond words. "But Flash Falcon Fly…" His grief turned into growing rage. "This guy~! He's gonna pay!"

"Save the loathing for later! We have to find this monster's weak point at once!" Nurzak insisted. "If it is brushing off our abilities, then it must mean it's an effect of some kind."

"Okay, well if that isn't a start then I don't know what is." Mason grunted as Avior touched down beside them.

Avior breathed in and out slowly. "I'm getting too old for this…"

Linehalt touched down in front of them with Ren on his shoulder. "It's definitely strong, but it's not invulnerable. We just gotta wear it down to where we can find a weak spot!"

"Incoming! He's going to attack!" Linehalt warned.

Armagedoid opened his maw as the rainbow energy inside his body shined brighter than before. Particles within the atmosphere gradually compressed into a singular point and took in some matters of light.

"Quickly, we need a blockade at once!" Mira shouted.

"No problem! I got this!" Baron held up an ability. "Ability, activate! Eternal Cocoon!" Piercian's entire body transformed into a huge wall that fit between his four shields, which dropped in front of everyone.

Baron smirked. "Nothing can get through Piercian when he used Eternal Cocoon. This should buy us some room."

"Look alive!" Shawn warned.

Armagedoid finished larging up his attack, which compressed even further into an energy hemisphere that was the size of a marble at the base of his mouth. With everyone grouped together behind Piercian, it was the perfect shot that Armagedoid needed to wipe them all out.

"Saturn Extinction!"

A dark hued, rainbow blast of monstrous energy suddenly erupted and vaporized air particles at an atomic level. The beam ruptured the air as it rushed out of the maw and expanded to the size of Armagedoid himself as it raced at lightspeed across the ground towards the others. The atmosphere shuddered as the beam barreled towards Piercian.

Eternal Armagedoid: 50,000 (+6000) = 56,000

The beam's volume was about as big as the wall, if not slightly larger. The impact almost immediately cracked the wall, but otherwise it shuddered violently. Everyone on the other side grew steadily anxious as they watched more cracks appear along the wall until it looked like it was ready to burst.

Baron stepped back in horror. "P-Piercian?!"

"Baron, get back!" Nemus shouted.

"Guys, watch out!" Dan shouted.

"Ability, activate!" Esther shouted, holding up her Bakumeter. "Black Hole!"

The blockade that Piercian provided was unable to sustain itself any longer. To Baron's horror, Piercian's visage as his shield shattered away, allowing the beaming attack to continue on its path towards destroying them. They all looked horrified until two clear wings brimming with bright accents spread in front. Atchibee hissed as a black hole portal appeared before her and enabled her to draw in the attack entirely. The air violently shuddered as she absorbed the ability from harming her allies. She and Esther grunted as some of the force was still enough to buffer her back. However, Fly Beetle wedged between her and the others to keep her from being pushed back.

"I gotcha!" he assured. He dug his heels into the ground and leaned forward to keep the momentum on their side.

Armagedoid kept up the beam, but his focus drew onto the blue missile and light arrow that whistled down onto him, catered by Depth Fire and Sagacious Arrow by Abis and Verias. He blocked by using his tail streamers to dispel them, while launching them again to deter the two Bakugan.

Eventually, the distraction was proven useful, as Armagedoid's beam had been fully absorbed by Atchibee. She hissed vividly as a dark purple aura enveloped her body. Her wings spread out as she flew above her comrades.

Esther was holding onto Atchibee tightly as she jettisoned higher. 'Even defenses cannot stop his abilities completely. He has firepower on a level above all else. At this rate, everyone will perish!'

Esther and Atchibee jettisoned across the sky, looking down on Armagedoid. He looked up and snarled at Atchibee incoming. When he met her eyes, the first thing that came to mind with her was how she was the reason his abilities were shut down to begin with. The memories of her Velvet Chain and Darkus Indignation were returning to him in kind and how he was helpless. That was a sensation he didn't want to endure again.

Luke saw the look on his face and realized what was happening. "He's focusing on Atchibee!"

"Then let's use that to our advantage!" Abis swerved through the air, hurrying towards the Darkus moth. "Luke!"

"I gotcha!" He held firmly to his position, his sword kept firmly in hand. 'It's way too powerful to slice his attacks head-on. They'll just cut through us in an instant. Which means…we need the element of surprise!' His Bakumeter showed an ability activating. "Ability, activate! Stealth Dweller!"

Abis let out a low growl as he started fading in and out of the terrain, until he faded away completely. Luke held onto seemingly thin air as he glided towards Armagedoid.

Meanwhile, Atchibee hissed as she hovered over Armagedoid. She stared a good enough distance from him to be certain that she could be out of range from his tails. Esther readied an ability to attack. "Now, Atchibee! Black Solstice!" Atchibee let out a shriek as she flapped her wings, bringing down a purple light ray that cascaded onto Armagedoid. She started scattering scales and dust down onto him to make him weaker, however, like before, it didn't work.

'Even abilities that forcibly lower power to 0 won't have any effect…'

Armagedoid gave a crude snarl. "That won't work on me this time. Chrome Hydra!"

The middle of his three streamer tails whipped out of transition and crystalized its end to mold into an ethereal draconic head with a double jaw lining with sharp shining teeth. The hydra head opened its maw wide as Armagedoid swung his tail, reeling the attack towards Atchibee. She used maneuverability and slung about through the air, constantly dodging the attack as it kept snapping at her. She veered her scythes away as the hydra head bit down, and broke into a twirling dive and curbed up as it traced after her. Through it all, it was right on her tail.

'Its movements are like Abis Omega's. We can keep dodging.' Esther realized. 'But…it's still moving fast.'

Eternal Armagedoid: 56,000 (+6000) = 62,000 Eclipse Atchibee: 6,900 (-6000) = 900

The hydra head circled around and whipped up after Atchibee straight from below. The moth realized this and stopped midflight just so it would continue its path skywards.

"Esther, behind you!" Luke warned.

Esther looked down and realized that another gaping ethereal jaw was closing in on her from below.

"Crash Coil!"

The hydra head roared as it closed in on Atchibee, but at the last possible second, it seemingly stopped and started spiraling around a singular spiral point below Atchibee. The energy whirlpool funneled about in place until the energy finally went spiraling back at Armagedoid.

The dragon's gemstones glimmered as the attack drew closer. It spiraled so fast that it reversed onto him and engulfed him in an eruption of dark rainbow energy. The eruptive wake of the attack was strong enough to rattle the top of the Empyrean without proper contact.

With the explosion as cover, Abis gradually revealed himself and glanced back at Esther and Atchibee. "You both alright?"

"Yes, Abis. That was close. Thanks." Atchibee thanked.

Esther glared down at the explosion. "Our defensive moves aren't having much of any effect. And when we go on offense, his power level doesn't decrease the way it's supposed to." She getting an idea of what this might mean. 'This mustn't be the work of an ability, just like Nurzak said. There's an entirely different factor here in the works.'

"Huh?" Jelldon's antennae eyes looked into the smoke cloud to see something beginning to stir. "Guys, below you!"

Abis and Atchibee heard his warning and veered away as a shockwave of the energy explosion pulsed outwards. The two Bakugan realized they weren't going to outmaneuver it and Abis wrapped Atchibee into his coils at the last second to become a makeshift shield. The shockwave pushed them higher, with Abis grunting painfully as some of his scaled chipped off. Had it not been for Fly Beetle catching them when he did, they could have been pushed into space with no oxygen.

The shockwaves kept going, making everyone cover up once more. Some of the grounded battlers slid back, while some found it opting to stay hidden behind their partners because of their bulk.

When the shockwaves came to an end. Armagedoid was shown to be in midair still, with a rainbow invisible, circular shield that faded away. He didn't have a single scratch on him, as her usual. He glared forward, unfazed with what happened. "Euphoria Shield."

"Darn it! Even reflected attacks didn't work!" Dan grimaced.

"Maybe his abilities are restricted to an attribute." Gunz advised.

"Only one way to find out." Maggie readied herself. 'We need to push out all his variables into the open.' She lifted her Bakumeter up. "Ability, activate! Cell Matter!"

Jelldon's tip of his tendril flashed bright rainbow energy, as did the rings and core on his body. With a heavy grunt, he raised it and slung it across at high speeds into Armagedoid. However, before an impact would have been made, the shield flashed again, blocking off Jelldon's attack.

"My ability was stopped!" he gasped.

"Then it must make him immune to abilities." Maggie deduced.

"Then leave this to us. Verias!" Shawn declared.

"Right!" Verias sped closer towards the shield with a vindictive raise of his staff. Shawn already had two abilities in line.

"Siba Strider, plus Icarus!" Verias raised his staff as he burst through midair. The light beaming from his staff was enough to make for a streamline that burst into the surface of the shield. Once he made contact, he firmly held his ground and tensed his muscles. He snorted out, exerting a bright yellow surface energy that dissolved the wall and waved back towards all his allies. Including Fly Beetle as he brought down Abis and Atchibee.

Plitheon, while dazed earlier, came around and clutched his claws tightly. "Huh? Hey, I feel much better!"

"My power is growing!" Boulderon declared.

Shawn looked back at Maggie. "Now, Maggie!"

The young girl nodded. "Right! Go, Jelldon! Cell Matter!" Jelldon again whipped his tendril and snaked it through the opening given by Verias. The wise ape sidestepped so Armagedoid could take a look and see the oncoming tendril.

"HRAH! GOTCHA!" Jelldon jabbed Armagedoid's center with pinpointed accurate precision. The rainbow piercing stuck to the core as it shined through. He awaited as he wanted to change Armagedoid's attribute to Aquos.

However, as a few moments went by…nothing happened. Armagedoid looked far from amused as he snarled.

"His attribute didn't change?!" Maggie gasped.

"What's this energy that he's made of?" Fly Beetle pondered. "It's like I feel something familiar, but at the same time…it isn't."

"Foolish." Armagedoid slowly lifted one of his arms and clutched Jelldon's tendril. With strength unrivaled, he yanked Jelldon off the ground and sent him in a roundabout wailing in a panic until he went full circle. He dragged him skywards overhead and arched him down over Percival.

Percival arched his head up and looked mortified at the oncoming jellyfish that fell too hastily for his liking. "Not again…!" The next instance, a loud rupture came at the sounds of Jelldon's heavy, gelatinous figure smashing down hard on Percival's entire figure, flooring him so hard that the ground trembled beneath him. From the cloud of dust, Percival's ball form retreated to Ace's feet, much to his horror.

"No…" He dropped to his knees, grunting in utter dismay.

The dust gradually settled, revealing Jelldon still active, but it seemed that he was winded. He opened a few of his eyes and was able to react in time to avoid another energy saber beam that came downwards. Armagedoid dismissed it after that one attempt.

"I have the purest powers gifted to me by Master, as well as Mother. I do not possess such attributed power needed to be turned against me." He raised one of his arms and moved it into a slashing motion, sending another powerful shockwave across the summit. It caused Bakugan like Rubanoid and Aranaut to floor instantly, reverting Rubanoid to ball form.

"He has no attribute? Did I hear that right?" Betakor repeated.

"I didn't think that would even be a possibility." Magmafury stated.

Aeroblitz used his aero mobility to ascend out of the shockwave; Drago's half glanced back down at Armagedoid to see that he had no base attribute. Even on the Bakumeter Dan had, it didn't register him as Darkus. Just a dark rainbow core with a magenta center.

"If he doesn't have an attribute, then…is he even a Bakugan?" Zenet worried. Before she had the time to worry, one of Armagedoid's streamer tail whipped at Contestir, immediately flooring him and reverting him to ball form. The shock of the attack caused Zenet to floor instantly.

"No! Zenet!" Ren screamed. He looked back at Armagedoid with growing rage. "Battlegear Ability, activate! Boomix Dimension!" Linehalt locked his Boomix onto Armagedoid in midair and fired another round of glossy energy that sailed across the atmosphere into his opponent.

As Armagedoid awaited for the attack, as soon as it drew close enough, it suddenly disappeared into a hole and vanished for a moment. An instant later, another hole opened up overhead to reveal the beam coming down on him.

"Let's try a simultaneous assault, shall we? Ability, activate!" Spectra reached his arm out to direct Helios as his abdominal cannon charged up. "Ability, activate! Ragnarok Buster!" Helios fired his energy charge with a loud grunt. The beam rushed out of his body into the opponent, while Linehalt's beam drew closer.

Just as both attack were reaching Armagedoid, the dragon crossed his detached nails and spread his arms out, creating a shockwave wall that tore apart both attacks on the spot. They dispersed before they even made impact.

"Seriously?!" Linehalt grimaced.

"Now I'm really mad!" Helios snarled.

"What the heck do we do against this thing?!" Linus panicked.

Elright grunted in annoyance. "I…don't know. But we need to hurry! If we don't stop him, then we're all going too…"

"We need a distraction at once!" Jase shouted. "We need a border to slow him down!"

"On it!" Shuji said. "Ability, activate! Rupture Shield!" Fly Beetle balled his fists tightly and punched the ground beneath him.

Armagedoid made no hasty movements, even after the summit beneath him vibrated to an enormous degree. When he looked down, rock boulders eroded from out of nowhere and started covering over him like a dome. His visage vanished underneath the boulders completely as the huge dome overtook the terrain itself.

"We need higher ground, stat!" Mira shouted. "Ability, activate! Land Minder!" Wilda lifted his arms up high, causing the ground beneath him to rumble extraordinarily until the summit began cracking. Out of the blue, a large-scale island burst from below, picking up everyone and bringing up along a slanted slope.

"Nice one, Mira!" Dan gave her a thumbs up.

"Let's pick up the pace, Nemus!" Baron shouted. "Ability, activate! Saint Sky High!"

"On it, Baron!" Nemus raised his staff up high. "This one is for Piercian!" His staff expelled a bright light before scattering golden energy sparkles that illuminated everyone there. They all glowed their respective attributed lights as the ability infused them with invigorating power.

"Yeah, now we can fight back! Let me at him!" Paige grunted.

"We're not done yet!" Shawn shouted. "Verias! Haos Savior!"

Verias twirled his staff around, making a loud clang when it made contact with the ground. Once again, another bright glow from him transcended into the others as all their power doubled. Attributed aura ignited everyone as they felt power levels unlike anything they've all felt before.

"I feel…so incredible!" Wolfurio gasped.

"Now we go for the attack!" Rafe shouted.

Boulderon looked over at Baliton, getting an idea. "Hey, mind if I use you for a sec?" Baliton's response was an inaudible snarl. "I'll take that as a yes! Paige!"

"Got it!" She glanced at Mira. "Hey, we good?"

"Yeah, I'm reading your mail!" She held up her Bakumeter. "Ability, activate! Heavy Assail!" Baliton's entire body glowed brightly as he morphed his entire body into a metal spiked wrecking ball with a glossy armored sheen on it.

Boulderon started swinging around his Slingpike's wrecking ball to gather much-needed momentum. "Oh yeah, now we're talking!" He got enough force to hit Baliton, sending the Ankylosaur-Bakugan Trap flying at the Rupture Shield with great speed.

The beast snarled as it closed in, and the closer it got, the more time seemingly slowed down. Everyone watched with anticipating to see the massive impact that would hopefully catch Armagedoid by surprise. Marucho was already calculating the next move after to follow up on. However, the momentum of their short-lived relief was completely ripped apart – literally - when a rainbow outline went horizontally from opposite ends of the dome. It carved through the rock and seemingly through Baliton incoming…

Seconds later, rock flickered before it diced into shrapnel around Armagedoid, revealing the detached energy blades around his frame ignited with a slightly longer sheen towards them. The blade not only cut through the rock, but through Baliton as well as a rainbow gash went clean through his metallic ball form.

Everyone's eyes gradually widened in shock and disbelief at what they saw. Right before their eyes, even sturdy armor was completely broken. The most horrified had to be Wilda and Mira as they saw their comrade get sliced into clean through.

"No…" Mira breathlessly gasped. "Baliton!"

Baliton's form groaned weakly as he glowed his attributed light. He remained in midair before turning into sparkles of brown energy before his comrades. Armagedoid stood unfazed by the enemy's loss of another asset.

"Photon Render!"

Elright looked ahead before stepping back. "He's not finished?!"

Armagedoid didn't give them time to grieve as he slashed his right arm across, dragging the massive energy blade into a crescent-shape shockwave that phased through the island that they all stood on. Faster than what anyone could react, the crescent grazed through the deep rock until rainbow outlines appeared everywhere. The island suddenly glowed bright rainbow before the rock literally reduced to shreds/ Everyone that was standing on it, including the Bakugan, all panicked and screamed as they floored and hit the ground hard, along with the buried rubble of the attack.

"Guys!" Luke shouted.

"He shredded that entire island with just one arm?!" Drago's half of Aeroblitz exasperated.

"Oh no~!" Julie panicked.

Everything was black for a moment. Everyone was extremely dazed, and worse, in pain. Much of them had just blacked out from that fall, but thankfully they were all coming around and stirring within the rubble.

"Gnnnngh…owww…" Marucho rubbed his head tiredly.

"Marucho…are you good over there?" Shun asked.

"Y-yeah, somehow…" He looked over at the reason why he wasn't buried alive. His eyes widened in shock to find Betakor overhead, carrying a huge boulder on his back. "Huh?! You guys!"

Betakor grunted as he struggled to shake off the giant boulder, but he was able to manage and threw it off to his side. "That…was a close one." He hunched over, sighing heavily. "Phew! Give me a break, would ya?"

"Knock it off, Radizen." Jaakor's half of Magmafury stated. "That attack was too close for comfort. We need a better plan to approach this behemoth."

Betakor gave a stern brow. "Heh? You don't think that I know that, smart guy? Well then how do you suggest we take this guy on? Our abilities don't help, and I feel like mush!"

"Plus he doesn't have an attribute." Gus pointed out. "I hate to say it, but I think that we're in over our heads here.

Vulcan perked up and looked ahead. "Incoming!" He got in front of Gus and used both arms to block one of the streamer tails that made impact. It was so intense that his gauntlets shattered upon impact, leaving his bare arms exposed as he careened backwards. "Gaaaaah~!"

"Vulcan!" Gus panicked as he watched his partner revert to ball form. He dropped into his hands and looked down at the sudden defeat. "Vulcan…"

Spectra saw this and gave a stern glare at Armagedoid. "Helios!"

Helios stepped forward, energy cannons for his Bombaplode charging up. "You're gonna pay for that one! Take this!" He lurched forward as he expelled a wild roar. His Bombaplode expelled glistening beams from all five cannons. They barreled across the ground towards Armagedoid, but he simply glanced over and saw it come his way.

With a fiendish snarl, he raised one of his blades and swiped across like a backhand. A rainbow slicing shockwave pierced clean through the atmosphere, cutting into the Bombaplode beams and slicing up the cannons. Helios fell backwards as spikes on his body were sliced off and armor cracked and gashed heavily. He fell backwards, thudding so hard that Spectra fell onto his back as well.

"Spectra!" Dan gasped.

"Even Helios' cybernetic enhancements were enough?" Alice worried.

"Alice!" Hydranoid shouted. "We need to hold him still! We need a clear shot!"

"Count me in on that!" Keegan declared. "I'm not going down without some ding-dang fight! Andro Elico, on my mark!" Andro Elico braced himself as to where Keegan turned towards Alice. "Alright, give us an opening!"

Alice nodded. "Alright then." She raised her Darkus Bakumeter. "Hydranoid, ability, activate! Extreme Chaos Leap Sting!"

Hydranoid roared out at Armagedoid and flexed his wings. They folded outwards to expel tendrils with demonic fangs and teeth bared. The six tendrils went blazing outwards and slung into Armagedoid. They tied around his neck, his limbs, legs, and his stomach. Hydranoid stood his ground as he had his movements limited.

"He's immobilized. Now's your chance!" Alice shouted.

"On it! Quickly, Elico! Ability, activate!" He raised his Bakumeter high to signal his ability. "FARBAS Delta!"

Andro Elico grunted as he glared at Eternal Armagedoid. With Hydranoid holding him down, he was able to get a scan going with the cybernetic enhancements. A blue light engulfed his body. "Analyzing opponent, registered: Eternal Armagedoid. Damage sustained from Photon Render at 37% repaired. Increasing power level to base level." A computerized tone said. "Increasing power level by 49,300 Gs."

'Alright, with this, we'll match Armagedoid in no time.' Keegan thought.

Elico was standing completely still as his power level was gradually climbing. A blue aura thickened with each second that passed. The power was so great that it sounded like there was a buzz inside his system. He started tensing up and grunting as he kept locked on meeting Armagedoid's power level. But the higher it got, the more tensed he physically looked.

Keegan looked shocked to say the least. "What the…?"

"Warning: System parameters overload. Repeat: System parameters overload. Main body stamina decreasing. 78%...65%...49%..."

Spectra frowned heavily. "The FARBAS system is being pushed to its limits for Andro Elico. Armagedoid's power is too high. It wasn't designed to tolerate such stress."

"Just a little longer! Hold on, Hydranoid!" Alice encouraged.

"Elico, just a little more!" Keegan shouted. "Just hold out and we can reach him!"

Elico grunted as his body was crackling with electricity. He looked to be shriveling, but before he could stumble over, he pinned a mechanical gauntlet to the ground as a cane and held himself upright. He grunted so loudly that it felt more like a roar instead.

Armagedoid eyed his adversaries with indifference, but he knew very well what was going on. "Nice try." His ten shining diamond wings gathered large masses of light to make them look almost blinding. "Luminous Zero!"

A harsh expulsion of light raced around the entirety of the domain. Everyone grunted and covered their eyes to avoid being blinded by these harsh rays. "GAH! What's going on?!" Mason grunted. "It's even brighter than the last time!"

"What's this light?! I can't see anything!" Baron shouted.

The light gradually dissipated, allowing a clear visage of what was happening for everyone to see. They saw that Armagedoid was freed from the tendrils as Hydranoid forcibly retracted them. He grunted, and along with Andro Elico, who looked a little more worn out for wear. He panted in and out as the sudden lack of stress when reaching critical mass had caught up to him.

Keegan looked at his Bakugan with shock. "Elico's FARBAS system, it was nullified…?!"

Alice looked down at her Bakumeter. Her eyes widened when she saw that everyone's power levels, regardless of them being lower, had returned to base. That included Hydranoid and Elico. 'Our power levels all returned to normal. All that extra power we add was wiped out in a flash.' She looked at Andro Elico grunting. 'And the strain on Keegan's Elico is slowing him down. This is bad.'

"Futile!" Armagedoid raised his three streamer tails and pivoted, sending a harsh whack into Elico, which slammed him not Hydranoid. The two Bakugan crashed into the ground with harsh thuds and grunted heavily. They weren't given levity when Armagedoid suddenly brought another burning light tail down and crushed the two Bakugan atop one another.

"GAAH!" Hydranoid's three heads gagged from the burning pressure, just before his body forcibly returned to ball form with Elico.

"Hydranoid!" Alice fret.

"Damnit, that dragon bastard shut us down!" Keegan grimaced.

Verias looked over, seeing another tail sweep coming around. "WATCH OUT!"

Much of everyone looked over unprepared; some of them didn't even have a chance to gaze when the tail swept across with such force. Verias was evasive enough and jumped in midair for Atmos to grip onto and arch back up, and Luke's friends copied the same motion just before the tail sweep sent a shockwave that caused everyone to scream and fly away. They all spiraled out of control, as did their Bakugan as the rest of them lost their Battlegear and reverted to ball form.

"OH NO!" Dan cried out atop of Aeroblitz, along with Gunz.

The shockwaves of Armagedoid's attack gradually diminished. When they subsided, it showed the rubble of Wilda's attack had receded and reduced to dust. Various people were sprawled over the ground, and they were all either looking damaged or broken. Odds were some of them had broken bones, especially Elright and Fabia, who suffered incredulously from the Solaris incident.

Amongst those who were knocked out, Spectra was grunting heavily as he was trying to stir up. His mask was cracked, but he didn't care. He looked over, seeing Gus sprawled on his side, very much unconscious. "Gus…" He looked over at Mira, seeing she was no different. "Mira…"

Helios, who was able to hold on by a nail, gradually got to his feet and glared ahead angrily. "You swine…you're gonna pay!"

Aeroblitz hovered down next to him, fists balled with a fury. "That goes double for me as well! You want a fight, then take us on!"

Armagedoid didn't look in the least bit interested. "You do not have the power nor the skills to stop me, Dragonoid. Mother's descendent may have the Ultimate Warrior Gene, but you don't know how to use it like I do!"

"Grrrr…! This guy's really ticking me off!" Betakor scoffed. "Marucho, what's the plan?"

"We have to keep trying! We have too! We can't fall here!" he shouted. "If we do, no one is going to live to see tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, Marucho! We will succeed!" Shun declared. "Now!"

With the grace of a ninja, Magmafury suddenly teleported behind Armagedoid. His speed was uncanny as he had his huge gauntlets lined up and ready to fire. "LIGHTS OUT, EVILDOER!" He fired a pointblank blast that engulfed the entire area. Energy pulses ran wild with an explosion that clouded around Armagedoid.

"Now!" Shun shouted.

"Destroy him, Helios!" Spectra shouted.

"Go, guys!" Marucho shouted.

"Get him!" Dan directed.

Helios runted as he gathered up energy and roared violently, unleashing a Mauser Impact. It pulsed across the scenery, tearing apart the landscape beneath while Betakor threw another Terra Blue, and Aeroblitz expelled another Flame Harvey Cannon. The three attacks rushed through the area and zeroed in on Armagedoid in one go.

A bright flash was followed by a large eruption of energy that ripped apart everything around the atmosphere. Everyone who was still conscious, including Luke's allies' Bakugan, all veered away as pulsing winds rushed around.

"Gyaaaaah!" Julie panicked, but she managed to open an eye and looked ahead at the simmering smoke. "D-did that work…?"

Aeroblitz floated alongside his fellow Bakugan as Magmafury touched down beside them. They all glared ahead as the simmering smoke gave way, but much to their horror and dismay, their combined attacks did very little to nothing. Armagedoid didn't even seem fazed by the combined firepower.

"Are you kidding me?!" Shun exasperated. "Just how much power can this guy take?!"

"We've even combined before and it still wasn't anywhere nearly enough!" Dan's patience was running thin. They needed to figure out something, and fast. They could try the Battle Suits, but they'd have no effect as well. "Abilities don't work, and even combined we're getting hammered…is this seriously the Ultimate Bakugan?"

Armagedoid let out a massive cry as he swayed his tails around, forming Chrome Hydra heads at the base of the tails. They served about and followed the main tail's head, snapping down onto Aeroblitz, and the other Bakugan before they could even think of dodging. Dan and the remaining Battle Brawlers cried out as they fell off their partners as the heads dragged them around the atmosphere. They arched up and then down onto Dan and the others to crush them.

Suddenly, a green glint sped in and bolted to pick them all up. In his talons and beak, Atmos suddenly escaped before the Bakugan came crashing down harshly, making powerful shockwaves that erupted in the atmosphere. Once again, everyone who was still conscious cried out.

Drago, Helios, and the other Bakugan gagged as they felt their bodies being crushed by the sheer force of the energy. They all separated, reverting back to their original forms and then to ball form, save for Drago as he laid on the ground, visibly half-awake.

Atmos glided the battlers to a safe distance and managed to have them wither roll or fall on their stomachs. Dan shook his head and rubbed at where he landed. "Owww…huh?" He saw Atmos gliding overhead and follow his trajectory. "Jase?! Guys?! You can't do this alone!"

"Gnnnngh…!" Shun grunted, still barely dazed by that attack.

Dan looked around once more, but he realized that even Drago was down. He looked completely dumbfounded. "No way…went down so easily…"

Armagedoid's eyes flashed brightly. "That just leaves…"

Suddenly, plasmatic tendrils blitzed with electric ions coating them. From the opposite side, glowing scythes with excessive dark afterimages slashed harsh waves at Armagedoid. The dragon shot out both arms and blocked both attacks by making rainbow shields projected from the palms. As the smoke cleared, a mixture of shredding winds followed by a light arrow and spiraling blue projectiles came straight down. Below Armagedoid, harsh stones prodded upwards, creating a massive hurricane of energy that imploded from the mixed elements generated by the six Bakugan that crashed down far ahead of their peers.

Dan gasped. "You guys!"

Before him and everyone else, Luke and the others on their Bakugan as they glared down Armagedoid readily. Albeit shaken up some and feeling sore from all the indirect wakes taken, they were still good to keep going.

"You guys better stay low if you can't keep continuing." Shuji instructed.

"He's right. Keep everyone as far back as possible!" Luke insisted, before leaning forward. "Let's go, Abis!"

"You took the words out of my mouth, Luke!" Abis careened his head back and roared. Luke held on firmly as Abis went flying skywards towards Armagedoid. The other Bakugan rushed with him to engage in Armagedoid.

Dan looked on, visibly shocked at what he was seeing. He was left completely speechless at what to even do in this situation where he can't even fight back. Once again, he watched as they went to work…and that made him ball his fist and bang it hard on the ground in vivid frustration.

"Darn it!"

Abis lead everyone closer towards Armagedoid. They all shared the same vindictive glare in their eyes. They were not going to allow this monster to tarnish them nor how hard they worked to get where they are now. Their human partners were no different. They all glared ahead readily, knowing what had to be done. One way or another, Armagedoid will go down. But they needed to be perfect.

The cyclone of energy dissipated, giving Armagedoid a clear view of the six enemies that stopped him before. "…you." He sniped at Abis specifically. "You all will not get in my way another time! I will end you and your planets' hope yet!"

"Look alive, everyone! Here he comes!" Atchibee warned.

Everyone braced themselves as they saw Armagedoid expelling another roar as his three tails whipped around and shot at them. They all hastily maneuvered throughout the air, with Verias showing agility on the ground as he flipped over an oncoming tail. He swept about on his heels and continued the charge. The tails seemed more like whip beams that grazes everything in its path. Atchibee did a full barrel roll while Esther hung on, keeping her spear out as to cut into the light.

Armagedoid growled at them aggressively.

Luke spoke into his Bakumeter as Abis kept swerving around the tails. 'We can't get close if it keeps lashing out like this. We need to slow it down.' He hastily pressed his Bakumeter, getting a signal for the others dodging. "Guys, listen up!"

"Yeah, Luke. We're still here!" Maggie shouted atop of Jelldon.

"We can't get close. Did you figure out a way?" Shuji asked.

Luke brought it closer to his face. "No, but I think I'm catching onto something. Let's try this!" As Abis did a funnel downwards, Luke pulled a Gate Card and threw it to the ground, making a dark blue ripple fade into the ground. "Abis, let's go!"

"Right!" With a hefty grunt, Abis let out a roar as he snaked through the air past the three tails. When an opening presented itself, Luke readied an ability.

"Ability, activate! Flood Quasar!" Abis opened his maw and charged up energy inside. With a low grunt, he expelled a dense blue energy beam that collided with Armagedoid's face, making it stream around the armor as nothing happened.

'This won't do anything offensive-wise. We just need to make him attack!'

As Abis kept firing his blue beam, Armagedoid grunted and made energy collect into his right palm. He reached up past the blue beam, aiming for Abis as the charge compressed into another Saber Nebula. A dense, hyper-compressed, rainbow saber beam tore clean through the attack.

'NOW!' Luke reached down towards the ground. "Gate Card, open! Chain Link Force!"

The Gate Card shined brightly beneath everyone was the beam drew closer towards Luke and Abis. A few meters before impact, the rumbling air suddenly distorted and twisted upon itself back towards the enemy. As soon as the beam struck it, it went barreling through itself and back at Armagedoid.

Using his free left hand, Armagedoid spread the palm and expelled a dense Euphoria Shield. It dissipated the energy beam into thin rays around the shield until it fully dissipated.

'I think that I figured it out.' Luke tapped his Bakumeter once again. "Guys, did you see that?"

"Yeah, looks like it can take our abilities just fine." Shawn replied. "But when it comes to its own power used against him, doesn't seem like he's completely invulnerable if he puts up a shield."

"Then, if our abilities can't decrease its power, then there's only one way we can beat him!" Maggie realized.

Esther narrowed her eyes as she voiced her observation. "The only way…is to increase our power beyond Armagedoid's without taking any of his abilities."

"Then let's act fast. It'll be pointless to use abilities that transfer power." Jase stated. He and Atmos did a barrel roll and glided across, Jase went with an ability first. 'We'll need as much power as we can.' "Ability, activate! Anemoi Wings!"

Atmos' eyes glowed bright yellow before he cawed loudly. His wings sparked emerald energy that he unleashed into a tornado that encompassed him for a few seconds. Once enough momentum was gathered, he flexed his glossy wings, spreading the shockwaves into his allies, giving them all an emerald, glossy outline around their bodies.

Armagedoid snarled as he let out a blistering cry. "I won't let you get the better of me!" He raised his arm and swatted it, sending another shockwave at them. Everyone braced themselves before they all ascended and fanned out with each other.

Esther and Shawn showed two abilities activating. "Ability, activate-!"

"Solaris Moondance!"

"Icarus!"

Atchibee glided past the shockwave and gave out another banshee shriek. She expelled a large cloud of purple cosmic dust that engulfed the surroundings, including her allies. While inside, Verias raised his staff high and made a large dome of light that helped encompass that energy and contain it. The cosmic stardust and light added onto it, followed by emerald sparkles from Atmos' ability caused them to become engulfed in energy auras of pure power.

Armagedoid opened his maw and exhausted particles into a singular point. "Saturn Extinction!"

Shawn looked through the empowering mist with astonishment. 'If that was as destructive as before, we need to save ourselves a step!'

But before he could enact an ability, Armagedoid had finished a massive energy charge in a few seconds. He opened his maw wide, unleashing a broad and destructive energy blast of cosmic, glittering energy. The atmosphere flashed spontaneously as it drew closer. The immense mass soared into the Icarus dome, only being held for a split-second before busting through. It dug its way into the cloud towards the others that were still in shock.

"Fly Beetle, now!" Shuji shouted.

"Right!" Fly Beetle crossed his arms in front, his entire body hardening to immense levels. "Armored Ultima!"

"KRROOOOOOAAAAH!" Armagedoid opened his maw wider as the attack expanded, giving it a harsher pulse just before it would make contact with Fly Beetle. The impact was instantaneous in a nutshell. The entire beam severed and erupted into hundreds of other beams that pushed against Fly Beetle. The Bakugan stood his ground while holding off this indominable force.

"Gnnnnnngh…! GNNNNNNGH!" Fly Beetle felt so much strain from the attack. He grunted so heavily while he stood before his allies, shielding them, while all the while his impenetrable body armor was denting inwards, cracking up to enormous portions, especially along the arms and horns.

"Fly Beetle!" Abis shouted.

"It's even strong enough to break through his armor?! That's never happened before!" Jelldon gasped.

"Hang on, tough guy! Don't you dare give up on me now!" Shuji warned.

Fly Beetle grunted back a little harder. "Hell like I'd…ever…!" Chunks of armor chipped off as he slid back a few meters. The summit ground made a dense trail from his claws. "Verias, do it…!"

Eager to help save his friend, Verias reached his staff out at the beam. "Right! Sagacity Gem!"

The gem on the end of his staff shined a bright light, causing the beam to go around Fly Beetle and lighten the stress on his ironclad stature. The air vibrated like an earthquake as Verias absorbed the entire ability, and then some. However, the shock was so great for him that he stepped back some from the strain of it all. He gritted his teeth has his veins all over hos body showed.

Abis slithered on over and coiled up his lower half to hunker down a base for Verias to push against as he kept absorbing the attack. Shawn looked up towards Luke, who gave an expectant look. Shawn reciprocated with a small grin and faced back, just as the absorption was complete.

The entire area sizzled, especially Fly Beetle's entire front. It was cracked badly, with multiple chunks missing. The Subterra insectoid's upper right tusk was chipped off even, with the remaining others chipped badly. He dropped to a knee and grunted heavily.

"Are you alright?" Maggie fret. "It looks bad."

"I-it's fine…I can hold out." Fly Beetle grunted. "We need all our supporters intact, don't we?" He looked back at Shuji for confirmation, to which he nodded.

Shuji then turned to Luke. "Luke, you got that trick set up while they were distracted?"

"Yeah, I got it!" He looked down at the ground, signaling everyone that he was ready. 'Now!' He reached down and swiped his arm. "Now! Gate Card, open! Capacity Overdrive!"

The ground again erupted into a large Gate Card that spilled light around the perimeter. Armagedoid floated above on the opposite end and looked down at the field trap played by their enemies.

'They set up a Gate Card while Fly Beetle and Verias were distracting me…'

"Shawn, we're ready!" Luke insisted.

"NOW!" Abis insisted.

Shawn narrowed his eyes, looking readily ahead. "Okay then. We have no choice. If this will get us above Armagedoid, then let's hit it!" He shot his Bakumeter outwards. "Double ability, activate! Haos Savior, plus Fusion Ability, Holy Destruction!"

Verias raised his staff high, letting out a loud grunt that bordered a cry. The staff grew so bright that it was like a star. With all his might, he plunged the end into the ground, causing several elemental gleams to engulf all their Bakugan before ripple expelled over a large area. A sudden explosion of elemental energy surged uncontrollably skywards centering all of the Bakugan in the area. They all let out undeniably large cries of pain at the giant surge of power that their bodies were taking in.

The shockwaves produced felt like explosions going off. Spiraling energy streams were running amok in the high atmosphere into a giant swirling rainbow storm overhead. The same storm that swirled over them when their power collected to exceeding masses the last time they did this. The ions in the stratosphere crackled and thundered as the rainbow storm blew everything about crazily.

"What's this?" Armagedoid looked up, genuinely surprised at their power increase.

Everyone behind were barely conscious in the wake. The very few that were, they started coming around and looked up in front of them. Paige was one of those few, who saw the Bakugan engulfed in dense auras with violent cries of agony. "What in the world…?!"

"Their…their power levels are getting super high again…" Rafe muttered. "How are they getting this high anyway?"

Still conscious herself, Alice was trying to make sense of what she was seeing. 'Capacity Overdrive is a Gate Card that doubles the effects of the next ability played by each Bakugan on their side. If Haos Savior doubles the current power level, and Capacity Overdrive doubles that…then add Holy Destruction's doubling effects…' A gasp escaped her lips as her eyes shrunk. 'You mean…in one move they were able to increase all of their power levels by 8 times the original effect?!'

A crackling storm of energy engulfed all of the Bakugan as massive surges of energy engulfed them. Elements that encompassed all over their attributes have started surfacing around the air of each individual. Fly Beetle clutched the ground tightly as energy streamed out of the cracks that he sustained. Verias' body was prodding with light veins showing. Jelldon's entire body was surrounded by burning plasma that caused sears along his soft body. Atchibee grunted as sheer darkness was erupting in a cyclone, next to the hurricane and water tornado that engulfed Atmos and Abis. All six Bakugan could feel their eyes shrink with bloodshot cracks running along the edges. The pressure was causing so much strain that it was almost impossible to keep it all contained.

The battlers unearthed themselves and saw the many flashes in the sky. Esther looked up as the rainbow cyclone storm happening overhead that centered around their Bakugan. "This is the highest power level we've ever reached with them. We won't have long if it's kept this high. We need to finish him before he attacks!"

"Right, let's go!" Maggie shouted.

Armagedoid looked at everyone aggressively and his mask shined brighter. Getting aggressive, he let out a large roar and shot his three tails out overhead as crystalized hydra head, via Chrome Hydra. The three heads opened their maws wide as they darted for Jelldon.

Maggie readied an ability. "Ability activate, Plasmorphis!"

The hydra heads roared mightily as they closed in one Jelldon, but just before they would make impact, Jelldon suddenly became plasma and faded to another area. The hydra head kept sailing upwards, right into a streaming air current that Jase's Atmos made. The current dragged the hydra head behind the falcon's wake as he jettisoned for Armagedoid.

Jase revealed that he was using an ability. "Aerial Stream!" he shouted.

Atmos let out of a caw as he closed in on Armagedoid, before making a sudden sharp turn off to the side while the hydra head followed the current into Armagedoid. He lifted both arms and generated another Euphoria Shield to stop his own tail's momentum. The result was a massive rainbow explosion that engulfed Armagedoid's grunt.

The force of the shockwaves generated against him caused Armagedoid to feel a strong wake against himself. His sharp teeth gnashed as he felt his shield having extra momentum from the elemental pulse.

Suddenly, a red blitz came in from behind, revealing Drago and Dan. Armagedoid glanced back with shock at what he saw.

"Dragon Eternal Force!" Drago's core glowed as he rapid-charged an energy blast in his maw. Once it was all charged, he let out a bolstering cry as he fired a crimson flame jet into Armagedoid's back.

"You are of no concern!" Armagedoid's two remaining tails lashed out at the attack. They easily burrowed clean through and continued towards Drago, who dodged them with his speed.

"Now!" Drago shouted.

"One more big boost…let's make this count!" Luke and everyone held up the same ability for themselves.

"ABILITY, ACTIVATE~!"

"Pyrus, Aquos, Haos Triple Node!"

"Ventus, Subterra, Darkus Triple Node!"

An even greater elemental surge exploded from everyone as they let out pained grunts. Their bodes looked like rainbow suns that were in the center of the hurricane of energy erupting thunder above. The added fuel caused the elements around their bodies to thicken.

"Let's kick this bastard into the ground with everything we've got!" Shuji cried. "GO!"

Jelldon's entire body exploded with a rainbow cyclone with red, enflamed irons looking like explosions. His eyes were shrunk and seemingly exploded outwards as he projected outwards. "ELEMENT STORM~!" He and Maggie cried out. A hurricane-sized cyclone of the energy he had exploded into Armagedoid's direction at the pace of a meteor.

Verias gripped his staff intensely tight as light exploded every split-second. The brightness around him crystalized into energy that he pounded into the ground with his and Shawn call. "POLARIS HAMMER~!" A dense shockwave raced through the ground at lightspeed.

Fly Beetle got on all fours and charged up energy into the tip of his horn. Several flickers resulted into a gargantuan explosion of energy that made him into a silhouette for an instant. "HORN GAIA~!" He gripped the ground so tight that it depressed when he unleashed all the energy into a massive explosion outwards.

Green, hurricane-sized energy sharpened into blades that Atmos spun around his frame and swatted with a wing. "HURRIBLADE~!" He unleashed the cyclone of energy into Armagedoid.

Atchibee divided her blades into four, shaping them into a moon. She condensed dark matter into a singular point as the excessive darkness swelling around her entire body was infused into the attack. "VIOLET PULSAR~!" She flapped her wings, sending the concentrated dark beam blitzing after the target.

Abis' entire body outlined in bright blue water that condensed around his maw. The gemstones and gills shined like sapphires as all the pressure built into an energy mass that he gaped at. "HYDRIAS IMPACT~!" A dark blue, oceanic blue beam energy blast erupted into a monstrous wake that tore through the atmosphere.

Realizing that he was distracted but for a split-second, Armagedoid felt a large-scale energy wake heading his way and turned around. Faster than what he could react to, he peered into the attacks that met his body. A bright flash went blank before a full-scale, atomic-level explosion of elements erupted everywhere, spreading far out beyond anyone's imagination. The attacks even went into the stratosphere, causing distortion waves to make the liquefied dimension ripple.

The ripple effect literally happened, causing much of the skies above all the dimensions to distort. They all looked up in mild shock at what they were witnessing, at least the inhabitants that were still alive. They looked as shocked and horrified as what the broadcast was showing.

The actual sight was a nonstop blast wave that pushed everyone away, the unconscious and the conscious. Everyone screamed at the power unleashed by the Bakugan beaming not only across Interacia's entire atmosphere, but through the dimensional rift he made.

As the shockwaves were starting to settle down, Luke and those who had weapons plunged them into the ground to keep themselves from being blown away. Maggie held behind Luke's back, while Shuji obliged with Shawn. They all hung in therewith heavy grunts until it settled to where it was tolerable to stand.

Their Bakugan all had energy cracks on their bodies as they reconvened with each other in front of the wall of rainbow explosions and elements blaring. They all panted heavily out of the exhaustion and the strain that their bodies had taken. But they were still alive at least. The cracks peering through them all, however, seemed to have gotten larger every so often. Yet they persevered.

Alice opened an eye and tossed a lock blocking her view. She looked on with suspense shown. "Did that…did that really just work?"

"Seriously, that's some killer power…" Shun realized. He kept watching the explosion simmer, but he couldn't stop this severe heart race that he had. 'This is a lot more destructive than anything we've ever done. If that didn't kill him, I don't know what will.'

The shockwaves of the attack finally stopped, revealing the atmosphere gradually dissolving to atoms. A large wake of elemental flames enveloped something that was in the depths of it.

"Hm? Hey, I see something…" Maggie uncovered herself.

Everyone loosened their guards for a moment and looked on as they watched the flames dissipate. They could make out something that shifted within the center. With one swing of looked life two rainbow blades, everyone's eyes widened in utter shock and disbelief when the flames were cut down, revealing Armagedoid's massive energy blades glistening on his sides. His head was down as he looked more or less annoyed with what he was hit with.

Rago's eyes shrank as his mouth gaped wide open. "Seriously?!"

"No way!" Dan screamed.

"Y-You mean to tell us…that thing actually survived…?" Julie was so scared for a second that she realized that the camera roll was still live.

"It can't possibly be…" Gus exasperated.

Keegan shaking eyes narrowed as he gnashed his teeth.

Armagedoid gradually raised his head, facing the other Bakugan as their guards went up again. However, unlike him, they flinched rom the severe strain that their bodies were taking. Energy crackled around them as they were trying to stay conscious, let alone alive. While he was bright down to touch the ground with his feet.

"…okay. I admit it. You all are very impressive." He grunted, yet above, the liquid cosmos was blackening. "However…you have yet to see the extents of what powers that I still have!" The jewel on his helmet shined brightly.

The sound of thunder boomed over everyone's heads. They all came to their senses and looked up at the cosmos. Over their heads in the stratosphere, it looked like a gargantuan storm clouds with rainbow lightning gathering into the center. The storm clouds looked so large that it seemingly consumed the entire atmosphere.

Luke's shock made him backpedal. "That's-!"

Armagedoid's shining wings fanned out as he reached his arms up. The lightning gathered faster towards the swirling center as he cried out.

"Cosmic Star Bolt!"

Shawn gasped and realized what was going to happen. "GET BACK! DO IT, NOW!"

The portal of rainbow lightning suddenly shot down, sending rainbow lightning bolts the size of huge buildings beaming down at lightspeeds, faster than the speed of sounds. Six bolts with the shape of dragon heads with glowing eyes opened wide as they sped down onto Abis and the other Bakugan.

The moment of impact that the flashiest and most gruesome thing anyone has ever seen. The six Bakugan unleashed a monstrous cry altogether in sheer pain and agony as extraterrestrial lightning fried all of their already broken bodies. "GRAAAAAAAAAAAH~!" Abis and Atchibee cried out together. The lightning chomped away at Jelldon and Atmos even, causing them immense agony. Even more snapped down and electrocuted Atmos and Verias as they gaped in sheer horror.

The blast wave had yet again blown everyone away. Luke and the others that were fighting back found their momentum broken and blown onto their backs.

"GUYS~!" Dan reached out for them, but Drago covered him and flew away from the discharge. He turned his back to help shield everyone who was unconscious from debris flying their way.

The massive discharge of energy gradually simmered down, leaving only a few stray bolts and a dust of dust in the view of the camera that was still going. Everyone else was already down, but the six that were still fighting were on their backs, grunting painfully at what could have been the most ear aching experience they've ever felt.

As they laid on the ground, their Bakugan were all in a deep crater, their statures completely broken as rainbow static crackled around their bodies. They all shakily tried getting up, but they were so winded that they could see straight. Even Atchibee and Fly Beetle's multi-cellular vision felt hazy.

Luke gradually got up, using his sword as a cane so as not to fall again. 'What…what was that? It's like the universe just threw the biggest lightning bolt down on us…'

'What power…' Esther started getting up, managing a knee. 'This is the power of the Ultimate Bakugan's evolution…'

Armagedoid gradually levitated off the ground and looked down at the stirring Bakugan. "You've all grown so much. I recall very much of the planet you all spawned from being of New Vestroia, is that right?"

Abis lifted his head, keeping one eye open. 'What is he saying?'

"Master praised you highly, because you proved that Bakugan can continuously evolve if pushed in an environment that surpasses their breaking points. So much so, that it can perhaps overpower the likes of Mother's foolish powers. And sure enough, he was indeed correct. To hold out this long with such a power level…even I am impressed. But still, you have your limits. And they are nowhere near where mine are." He ascended even higher.

"Now what?!" Fly Beetle grimaced.

Armagedoid sailed skywards until he reached a high enough point. He looked down at the summit and the magenta stars and jewels on his body glowed brightly.

"Deracination!"

He twisted his body in midair, summoning enough momentum to create a large tornado of cosmic energy that twirled around in front of the ither Bakugan. The tornado went skywards into the cosmic storm clouds created by the earlier attack. It was narrow, but it was huge in size and dazzled with various particles that made of space clouds.

"A tornado!" Shuji exasperated

"He can even do weather attack from outside the stratosphere…" Jase stated.

The tornado crackled with magenta lightning as it picked up debris from the earlier attacks and expanded outwards towards Abis and the other Bakugan. As they were fully conscious, their bodies were too slow to act when they were blown off the ground and whirled about within the maelstrom. They all screamed as their worlds went for a hectic spin within the crackling cyclone.

"GUYS!" Shawn shouted.

Esther gasped in horrified shock. "It's coming! Everyone, brace yourselves!"

No sooner than when she said that, the maelstrom expanded further and engulfed all of them. All their screams went hoarse as they were struck by strong energy winds that whirled them around. They could feel their own bodies being pushed by tearing winds that undoubtedly felt massive.

Dan was covering up in Drago's hands a safe distance away as he looked at the tornado engulfing his comrades in their plight. "No! Drago, we need to do something!"

"We can't get any closer, Dan! If we do, we'll be the ones sucked in, too!" he shouted.

All their teeth gnashed as the tempest threw them about haphazardly, rotating their bodies endlessly with no gravity to straighten them out. What's worse, it was insufferable to even breathe. With them being so high up, their oxygen was already scarce, forcing them to take deep breaths. But now, they couldn't even breathe while inside the vacuum.

"Luke!" As he was whirling around, Abis saw his partner and managed to reach him.

"Shuji!" Fly Beetle grabbed Shuji in his thick claws.

"Maggie!" Jelldon grabbed Maggie in his tendrils and held onto her tightly.

"Shawn!" Verias grabbed him in a hand.

"Jase!" Atmos grabbed his partner in his talons.

"Esther!" Atchibee flew in and saved her partner as well.

All six Bakugan whirled around in the cyclone of energy uncontrollably while magenta lightning crashed down on random surfaces across Interacia. The surge of catastrophic energy caused weather to breach into a huge storm that shrouded the entire world, Even in Troposphere and Solaris, everyone like Cole looked up shocked as lightning in the shape of leaf folium crackled and surge towards one point. As shocked as they were about the broadcast, they were more stunned about the entire world seemingly defying gravity from this monster's power.

As the magenta lightning flashes into space, the spatial distortion windows were breached, allowing spatial bolts to crash down and randomly strike various places in a multitude of worlds. New Vestroia's earth reduced to fissures when magenta lightning crashed down so hard to do this. Earth's Appalachian Mountains were struck harshly by continuous bolts, turning the large tops into craters. The lightning just didn't stop; across the seas, into huge buildings…everywhere. Gundalia and Neathia had magenta lightning blasts that crashed down, even within the Capital. Buildings were struck and immediately brought down to rubble in an instant.

Serena looked out the destroyed balcony, watching fires and lightning storms above break out that was beyond her control. She had no words, just pure horror painted on her face.

The chaotic storm gradually simmered down on Interacia, where the magenta cosmic tornado gradually thinned out and dissipated. The sounds of thunder boomed high over the stratosphere as everyone looked on in deep mortification. They all watched in horror as the six Bakugan fell to the summit ground once more, laying like ragdolls while Armagedoid descended gently.

Luke grunted heavily as he held onto Abis' head fin the entire time. Everyone did, yet the landing buffered them so much that their second wind left their bodies. Their attires were anything but pretty. Holes were in them, as well as small tears in their shirts and uniforms. It was still a miracle that after all that Jase's glasses were still maintained on his face.

They all stirred again with their partners. They were all trying to keep themselves conscious, but that alone was taking all their mental power to do so.

'I…I still can't move. My body won't listen to me…' Abis grunted.

Fly Beetle grunted weakly as he looked like he was about to break. 'So this is what it feels like to have your insides feel like mush. I can't even see straight…'

Atmos' wings were shipped and dented, enough to leave him ground. Jase held firmly to his partner before glaring back at Armagedoid's imperial stature. 'So, this is his power…'

'What are we going to do?' Maggie grunted. 'If we don't fight back…'

"It's no use. You possess an immense tolerance to the forbidden ability catalyst, but you do not have that same power to best me." Armagedoid sternly declared. "You will not survive anymore than what your kind will receive."

Jelldon stirred weakly. "That's what you think-!" He was blown back by a shockwave made by Armagedoid swiping his arm.

"Mother was a fool!" He swatted again, bringing a rising Atmos down in an instant. "She truly believed that she was in the right, to believe that imprisonment will help change a person, when only it does nothing more than close them off from the help that they need. But because of Master's logic…" He slammed his three tails into the ground, sending a rainbow shockwave that blew back the Bakugan and humans clinging on for dear life. "…I was able to make my own choices. You can say that my actions are wrong, and I agree, but…" He jutted out both hands, morphing his three streamer tails into six hydra heads this time. They all lunged with gaping maws and crunched down on the Bakugan, driving them into the earth. "Everyone has their flaws! And we all have to live with them! I have just as much at stake as you. I will not allow my home to be lost to the likes of you!" He raised his hand high, commanding all six heads to arch up and collide overhead, pinning the Bakugan in their maws against each other. "Master and my own dream…will be created by my hands!"

The six crystalized hydra heads pinned the Bakugan a little tighter, causing each of them to grunt heavily at the immense pain that enflamed their insides. Elemental cracks engulfed their bodies as they felt the maws of the makeshift attacks crush them. Even Abis' scales were no match for this force.

"Gnnnngh…" Abis grunted. "I can't…move…!"

"I…can't feel my wings!" Atchibee hissed.

"Atchibee!" Esther fret.

As Armagedoid was focusing on his adversaries, his senses picked up as he saw flaming lances streaming his maw. He swiped his arm and dispelled them, allowing a visual of Drago diving in to attack. "Leave them alone, Armagedoid! Fight me instead!"

"Yeah, we're the ones that you should be fighting!" Dan encouraged.

"And why's that?" he countered. He swiped his arm again, sending a shockwave into Drago's path that stopped him cold. "Because you feel so entitled to that position. I told you, you may have the Ultimate Warrior Gene, but you never took to the responsibility of honing it for what you believed in."

Drago managed to dive in through the shockwave with a draconic roar. His fist made impact with Armagedoid's helmet gem. However, nothing happened. Instead, it was the perfect chance for Armagedoid to demonstrate his physical strength and grab Drago by the throat, making him gag before throwing him down with all his might, creating a crater that he laid in.

"Gah! Gahhhh!" Drago was left stunned. He couldn't even move himself. He laid there, gagging with a gaping maw and eyes rolling to the back of his head.

"DRAGO, NO!" Dan shouted.

Shun shakily raised his head, barely awake from everything that's happened. 'Even Drago is down…this is bad!'

"I WILL CREATE THE NEW BEGINNING FOR ALL BAKUGAN, AND I WON'T ALLOW ANY OF YOU TO BE PART OF IT!" Armagedoid bellowed menacingly. The six hydra heads subconsciously gnashed down harder on Abis and the Bakugan, putting them under even more stress.

'Think! C'mon, what can I do in this situation we're in?' Luke's mind was racing a thousand miles an hour. He tried to rationalize their options, but nothing seemed to be of valid use. 'We can't move under this strain…and if we take anymore…we won't survive!'

"Luke…" Esther weakly murmured, still holding onto Atchibee.

"Atmos…" Jase looked down at his partner, clinging on for dear life as he looked limp like a rubber chicken in the crushing maws of this ethereal attack.

Fly Beetle, Verias, and Jelldon were all grunting heavily out of pure pain. Verias was barely gripping onto his staff, even though it was already shattered and broken. They were all pinned down and feeling their bodies crack too much from pressure.

'Damnit! C'mon Shuji, you're better than this! Gotta think!' Shuji gnashed his teeth to come to a solution, but couldn't.

'We can't…just die here! I still…' Maggie clutched Jelldon tighter. 'I still want to save people!' She thought back to what she wanted to do. So many people were hurt right now. And if that doesn't change, everyone is going to die.

'We have to win!' Shawn gnashed. 'We have no other choice!'

Everyone around them was already down for the count. Drago was pinned down against Armagedoid, and all the other Bakugan were defeated, and their partners unconscious. Disasters were happening in the form of lightning and tornadoes that were destroying the other planets. It would only be a matter of minutes before they would all collapse upon their infected cores.

'Think…what do we do?!' Luke closed his eyes, feeling as though their chances were depleting faster with every second. 'Is this…really how it's going to be?'

"Everyone! Hear my plea!"

At that instant, all the Bakugan in pain went quiet and they and the humans went wide-eyed. They could have sworn they just heard a voice inside of their heads calling out to them.

'Wait, that voice…I didn't just imagine that.' Luke was certain about that. "Abis…did you hear that just now?"

"I did, Luke…" Abis rasped.

"I…I heard it as well." Atchibee exasperated in the fangs.

"This presence…it's inside of all of us." Atmos quipped. "It feels like…"

"Listen, I'm terribly sorry…but please, I implore you fellow Bakugan…stop Armagedoid."

"Anybody else going crazy?" Fly Beetle grunted. "Because I think I'm hearing Code Eve speak."

"I…I hear it, too." Jelldon murmured.

"Yeah, same here." Maggie replied.

"Is Eve…actually trying to speak to us through telepathy?" Shawn grunted.

"I've made…a terrible mistake. With what strength that I have…please, I beg you…you need to stop Riaan. This universe-no, your worlds, are depending on you…"

"Even if that's the case, I don't suppose that you have any suggestions." Jase chimed in.

"Somehow…you have to…take his power. Take it…and prove everyone that wronged you…that there is a hope…please, forgive me…!"

Luke's eyes widened. "Eve, wait…!"

A silence fell. It was like the last bit of the warm feeling they had of her had dissipated. They were left along in the maws od the abilities.

'That voice just now…was that the last of Eve's will trying to tell us to win?' Luke pondered about it for a few moments, momentarily forgetting about the pain and dazed state he was in. '…no, I'm sure that's what it was. She said that if we're going to win, we have to take Armagedoid's power.'

"Luke…"

Luke looked down at his Bakugan, seeing him just as transfixed as he was. 'Abis…' The leviathan was clinging on to the few fragments of life he possibly could. He felt extreme amounts of pain, but he looked at Luke knowingly before facing his sword.

"We're…gonna leave the rest…up to you guys." Luka coughed again. "Don't cause too much trouble…you'll have to bail yourselves out somehow."

'Luka…that's right.' Luke's grip tightened on his blade. 'We swore we'd win for him…'

"Well, unless you wanna really be ghost, better not take what you have for granted. You've still have a lot of fun to throw into others' faces~!"

Luka lowered his head. "What he said…I guess." He eyed Luke softly. "Don't ever forget. It's still a long road yet. There's a big bump in your way, are you just going to lose speed and roll back down?"

Luke paused for a moment. He had to realize this was all going inside his head. This had to be their final remnants of energy that Luka passed over by the blade. No wonder it was so bright. "…no, I wasn't forgetting. My light just got dim for a moment there."

Luka scoffed. "I'll believe it when I see it." He smirked nonchalantly. "Better make whatever life you got count…Luke."

The more he thought about it, the more the epiphany sank into his skin. His eyes were shallow green, the bangs shading them from everyone as he was stirring up an idea. He didn't come all this way just to die this badly. No. Even though they may have asked for it, they couldn't allow such a pitiful excuse of them 'not being strong enough' to be some kind of pass. No, they didn't work this hard for nothing. They had to step it up. That's what they have always done to get to now.

Gripping his sword tighter, Luke found his resolve. "Abis…"

"…?" The really long dragon glanced up at Luke. "Yeah…?"

"I've got a crazy idea…it might be…our only way."

Abis' eyes gradually widened at what Luke might be referring to. They were already out of options, and remembering what Esther said, they had to reach Armagedoid's power level if they were to at least match him. But they didn't have much to do that, except…

Shawn, noticing the vague expression on Luke's face, gnashed his teeth. "You idiot…what are you thinking now?!"

"Trust me…I think this way, we can take some of his power." Luke muttered. "Abis…you ready for one final push?"

The serpent's expression seemed tightly enticed mixed with severe pai. His gaze lowered at the chances of their plan succeeding, but there was no other choice. He looked up at Luke, his orange eyes meeting his green eyes. They read all that he wanted to say. "…let's do it."

Luke nodded. "Okay, then this is it!" He turned towards everyone. "Everyone, bear with me on this one!"

"Luke!" Shawn shouted.

"You moron!" Shuji exclaimed.

Esther's eyes shook. "…LUKE!"

His Bakumeter showed one more ability. It shined blue with energy. 'This is it…this is how we'll contain him. Let's make this count…'

His eyes dilated brightly, along with Abis as they called out their ability together.

"ABILITY, ACTIVATE! PRESSURE SHIELD!"

A dense, blue light erupted from Abis that nearly blinded all his teammates and friends. Everyone felt an extremely dense pressure that felt like crushing them, even though they weren't near it. The pressure was so intense that it caused all the hydra heads holding onto the Bakugan to jerk away and dissipate, freeing them of their clutches. They all were thrown around a bit before getting themselves together. But the force pushed them back so far that they found themselves a football field's worth away from them. They all rebounded and managed to get a clear view of what was going on ahead, much to even their own surprise.

"Hm? What's this…?" Armagedoid grunted.

"Esther, look!" Atchibee shouted.

Esther grunted and uncovered her face. She and Atchibee looked ahead, peering with a slight gasp at the blue forcefield encompassing the glowing silhouette that was Abis Omega and Luke. With Luke inside, the shield had a dense mass of glistening water with cracks searing around Abis. They looked forward, unwilling to hesitate at the risks that their bodies were taking in.

"They're using Pressure Shield now?!" Maggie snapped.

"Pressure Shield increases Abis Omega's power level equal to that of the opponent's!" Shawn exasperated. "If it's already this high, then…"

Jase prodded his glasses with two fingers. "I see…so that's your plan."

"Guys, wait for an opening, alright? When that happens, be ready." Luke insisted. "Abis and I are not doing this alone. This time…we're all doing this together!" No sooner than when he said that, Abis let out a loud shriek as he jettisoned within his aquatic globe towards his opponent.

"YOU BASTARD!" Shuji yelled out.

"That idiot…!" Shawn gnashed his teeth.

Esther watched Luke and Abis take off, heading right for their adversary with a fury. Her eyes shrunk as she reached out for them. "LUKE~!"

Luke and Abis didn't listen. Instead they kept barreling with all their might after Armagedoid in their hemisphere. They cried out with all their might as they beelined in a blue, abysmal beam with a bulbous center, similar to a blue meteor crashing down.

Armagedoid cried out in retort. He reached his hands out with the detached nails and caught the bkue hemisphere, which exploded into an even greater forcefield upon impact. The shockwaves of the attack erupted so harshly that Drago was picked off the ground, sent flying back towards Dan and the others with a cry of his own.

"Drago!" Dan shouted. He watched as Drago reverted to his ball form and caught him hurriedly. He looked down at his partner with shock. "Are you okay-?!" He suddenly was blown off his feet by a dense, cold shockwave generated by the impact, sliding on his back painfully.

"Dan!" Shun shouted, but he was also blown onto his back.

Everyone who was grounded and unable to continue yelped out and covered up as the shockwaves generate linear tsunami waves that spread past them. Dense, thin, pressurized waves of water split across the Empyrean grounds all the way towards the ends, where they became giant arches as they flooded down the sides like waterfalls. The air spiraled with a mixture of spiraling cosmic energy and deep blue seawater. They rushed in opposite directions and circulated into the deep blue forcefield containing cosmic, dark rainbow energy/ The entire spatial atmosphere itself was crackling and flashing lightning in all directions, fanning even into the depths of space above. It was an out-of-control mess, and in the dead center of it all, there were two figments that were shining brightly like stars.

Alice opened an eye, trying to see what was going on. "What are they doing?!"

"re they trying to contain Armagedoid within their perimeters?! That's a suicide!" Elright exasperated.

Another pulse raced in the form of a ripple, immediately blowing everyone over. Verias crossed his arms and slid back on his heels, but he almost lost footing in the process. "Heh?" He looked back ahead with Shawn, both showing deep concern with what they were marveling at.

The blonde's eyes shuddered as passive shock spread all over. "That idiot!"


It was a hurricane of cosmic stardust and water distorting around Abis and Armagedoid. Both their heads were in contact with one another, trying to overpower the other. The interstellar dragon snarled as Abis was trying to push back with all his might, but even he could barely hold on. He was quick to lose momentum, even though his power was causing water pressure to turn cosmic around him.

Armagedoid clutched Abis by the throat, the nails digging into his skin. He gagged loudly as he felt the insufferable hold getting the better of him. "You are no match for me! You are a very tenacious contender, that I admit…but that ends now." He lifted one of his tails overhead, poising to impale Abis by the head. "This will end now!"

Suddenly, the hemisphere bolted with a discharge of lightning that crackled like a storm. Everyone once again covered up as said discharge expelled violently all around, pushing ions away as well as destroying them.

Across the other worlds, magenta fissured were connecting across the globes. The populace everywhere was screaming and crying out as natural disasters were discharging magenta and rainbow lightning that set fires everywhere, and buildings kept coming down haphazardly. Their lives were all quickly coming to their ends.

Armagedoid opened his maw, expelling a loud roar of triumph into Abis' face. The serpent made no claims to back up his stature. He was beyond his limits, but with what conscience and stability he had, he gave a low mutter.

"Luke…now!"

Armagedoid gasped. "What?"

Suddenly, jumping off Abis' head, Luke held his blade up high. "HRRAAAAAAAH~!" He went falling down onto Armagedoid's arm, racing along it, much to the dragon's surprise.

'He got close on purpose just for his partner to get at me!'

Luke cried out as he poised his blade and aimed for the core that was roughly his size. He could see that it was thick with a rainbow hue around it. He closed the gap quickly, but Armagedoid knew better than to allow the haste get better of himself.

At the last second, Armagedoid let go of Abis and jerked his arm away, causing Luke to lose balance and start falling off towards the side. His momentum was completely shattered as he had no ground or leverage to get closer. And when they were so close!

"I gotcha!" With a flick of his numb tail, Abis pushed one of his two tails forward, with Luke using it as a springboard and lunging forward a split-second before Armagedoid's streamer tail smacked down, burning off Abis' numbed tail to leave the singular one left.

With momentum on their side, Luke cried out at the top of his lungs as he brought back his sword. His green eyes reflected the rainbow around the dark core.

Time slowed down as his blade was pulled back for a full swing. With every heartbeat between him and the core, there was a swift memory. From meeting Abis Omega and Atchibee on New Vestroia, to meeting Esther. 'For my friends…'

Another heartbeat made him think of the hundreds of lives he stole from Thermosphere.

'For everyone that suffered…'

A beat brought him to Rogue Zero.

'To those who helped us become who we are today…'

Another thump made him think of Luka and Brontes, both smiling for the last time as they entrusted Luke with the sword. His eyes shrank with a fury as he gripped the hilt so tight that it almost cracked.

"HRAAAAAAHHH~!" He raised his blade high and blue energy crossed around it. With no room to react, Armagedoid looked on in shock as Luke violently swung and stabbed his core with the sheer tip, causing a small crack to appear.

CRACK!

The crack expanded slightly around the blade. They got bigger, and bigger, until Armagedoid's helmet glinted with a bright shock. Abis sneered as the plan worked.

BOOOOOM!

An explosive leakage of dark cosmic energy erupted outwards, engulfing Armagedoid and Abis together. The shockwave sent everyone on their backs as it continued to spread across the atmosphere, then Interacia, and then finally it spread into the stellar system itself. The shockwave had a ripple effect as it went through each dimension, causing everyone to freeze on the spot.

As buildings were collapsing and people were screaming, they all slowed down and came to a gradual standstill. Time froze up completely across every single planet, to which the magenta energy had also frozen up on the spot.

Everything that was outside the expanded shield's perimeter had frozen up on Interacia as well. Dan, Julie, the cameraman, everyone there came to a standstill outside the swirling maelstrom dome of dark cosmic energy.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Luke and Abis cried out madly as they dropped to the ground, taking in all the energy that was surrounding them leaking from Armagedoid. The dragon levitated backwards as he looked around, seeing some of his leaked core energy circulating into an energy drome.

"What is this?"

Luke cried out as rainbow veins were encompassing his fists, which were connected to the sword that was stained in the energy. While he was aching in pain, Abis had rainbow cracks from being exposed to the raw power that his power was already taking. Their cries alone were causing the landscape to shudder.

Armagedoid snarled. "Are they seriously trying to absorb my power by themselves? That will destroy them…"

The veins and cracks rain all over the pained duo as they were trying to hold on. But it felt like they were starting to break apart. Luke's could feel his knees felt like collapsing, ne, exploding. Yet still, he kept standing on the ground while Abis slunk behind him, trying to endure it.

"L…uke…!" a voiced called out through the storm behind them.

Armagedoid snarled at the voice. "Hm?"

Two silhouettes were making way through the cosmic storm. Luke and Abis gradually turned around, seeing the two figments getting closer. They looked blankly with their hazy vision as Esther was trudging closer.

"LUKE!" she cried out.

"Esther…"

Abis saw the silhouette flying in, being Atchibee. "Atchibee…"

"Abis! Stay with us! You are not alone in this battle anymore!" the moth declared. "It's our turn to be there to help you now!"

Both of them were completely speechless. They didn't know what else to say, let alone do. But subconsciously, they looked at their allies and felt compelled by them. Esther was reaching out for Luke…and he knew that deep down this wasn't any time to be pushing anyone away.

"Esther…" As she reached out for him, his veiny rainbow hand lifted up and took hers in return; the same time, Abis' remaining tail touched one of Atchibee's claws.

Immediately, a pulse went through both of them. "AAAAAHHH~!" They screamed mightily. The rainbow light encompassed them as well. The veins that were spreading along Abis and Luke started infecting Esther and Atchibee. But they accepted the incredibly harsh pain to their bodies.

"…" Armagedoid watched with mild expectance. He was more than a little surprised with what he was seeing before his eyes.

Off to Luke's left, two more silhouettes were trudging through the storm. As torn up as they were, Shawn and Verias were able to get close enough to Abis' other side. They grunted heavily as they closed in on their friends in need.

"Luke…Abis…" Shawn grunted.

"We're here for you." Verias muttered.

Together, they took a deep breath, and touched their shoulder and fin respectively. Instantly, another pulse stiffened their bodies as the rainbow veins spread into them al well. "AAAAAAH~!" They let out short but powerful screams as they felt the foreign power.

On either side, Esther and Shawn stood with Luke as he gripped his sword tightly. They were holding their weapons as well as they were also infected with the energy coursing through them.

Appearing besides Shawn, Shuji breathed heavily as he closed in to help them as well. His teeth gnashed as the only thing he could think of was trying to help his family back home, and those who loved him here. 'You guys…'

Fly Beetle's barely stable figure walked up with Shuji, barely standing but still managed to get through. Together, they grabbed Shawn and Verias' shoulders, taking on another pulse and a violent scream as the energy infected them as well. "GNNNNNGH…!" The veins quickly through their bodies, engulfing them in a bright rainbow light.

On Esther's side, two more silhouettes were making way through. Barely intact as they were Atmos and Jase made it up towards them.

"Everyone…" Atmos undoubtedly knew what he had to do. He didn't spare Jase a glance as the ex-Colonel raised his hand and gripped Esther's shoulder. The falcon's talons gripped onto Atchibee's scythe.

Another pulse stiffened their bodies as well, causing them all to expel loud, violent grunts. "GAAH!" The pain they felt was tremendous, but they allowed the rainbow veins to engulf them as well.

Finally, the last to reach up to Shuji's hand was Maggie. "Let's…do it." She muttered. She and Jelldon hesitated at first, but they chose to not ignore the link that was going on. Together, both hand and tendril touched Shuji and Fly Beetle.

"GAAAAAH~!" Another pulse with a rainbow aura overtook them. They stiffened for a moment as they were taking in the power everyone was sharing as well.

All of their shouts and screaming gradually settled down into pained grunts. Everyone last one of their bodies felt like they were on fire, but they were still standing. The veins gradually settled into their bodies, much to their chagrin. They all stood completely still like linked statues. Holding onto each other like they depended on each other. In this case, they were.

Esther's smiled softened as she nodded. "Alright then. I'll stand by you, and I promise that I'll be watching you from here on."

"Thank you. We appreciate it."

Abis Omega looked at Atchibee. "Atchibee, what Esther and Luke said. It implies to you. If I mess up in any way, do as you must."

Atchibee nodded. "Thank you, Abis. And also…thank you, to you and Luke…for saving our lives."

"It's a consequence we'd do a hundred times over."

"A consequence…that we'll bear with…" Luke muttered.

"One…a hundred times over…" Abis grunted.

"So Shawn…I trust you. And I always will for pieces that fall from my mistakes. And I'll stand here and watch, and see this through to the end with you…so matter what happens, I'll be there to see you, because we can't win without trust in each other."

"I…trust you all, too…" Shawn grimaced.

"We're not going anywhere…not while we stand together!" Verias encouraged.

"…it's fine. You were the one who brought me back into the light. There's no point in relying on anyone who isn't there for you if they don't mean it."

"Even in darkness…there is always a brightness to lead you the way…" Esther opened her eyes weakly.

"We've all been through so much since meeting in New Vestroia. It'd never feel the same if we weren't together. We may have taken our lives and everyone for granted in the past, Luke, we're different now. We care about each other, right?"

"We love you guys…that's something…that will keep us going." Maggie muttered.

"With every…fiber of our being." Jelldon followed.

"Honestly…" he glanced at the others. "So you guys really wanted me then, huh? Heh, guess I should be flattered then."

Shawn smiled. "I'd be too if I were you. Glad you're back with us."

"I've got…a responsibility to take care of for my friends." Shuji sneered.

"We…will stand that ground, whatever the cost!" Fly Beetle enforced.

"Suppose we don't have to watch over them anymore." Atmos whispered to Jase.

Jase quietly grinned. He finally looked down, closing his eyes with his arms crossed to rest. "Never had to…I stopped watching them…a long time ago."

"We don't stand as rankings…we stand…united…!" Jase grunted.

"We watch…each other…no matter where we are!" Atmos declared.

The storm circulating around them crackled around everyone. They started drawing naturally towards them and into their centers. The diamond and round cores they had were glowing brightly with rainbow colors glinting. The funnel of energy was getting out of control, but nobody made any claims of backing down as their bodies held the other tightly. It wasn't just Abis bearing such pain. It was also his dear friends who stuck by him this whole time. Their grunts were all simmering down as rainbow outlines began enveloping them.

"What are you…doing?!" Armagedoid gasped. 'My power is infused with negative energy and forbidden power…no, their bodies…! Their evolutions have developed a tolerance, which is a catalyst!'

"To make every life worth its meaning…" Luke muttered.

"To lead the way…from one's stray path…" Esther grunted.

"…to find people…that make you happy…" Maggie declared.

"To stand…for what you believe in." Shuji said.

"To be there…for those who need you as much as you do." Shawn said.

"To make your own path to the future." Jase chimed.

At the same time, all their grips tightened with their Bakugan. "That's why we…FIGHT!"

Armagedoid let out a loud, exasperated roar as the light from his dark core expelled outwards. The rainbow light enveloping everyone highlighted the vein networks that they all shared. Abis let out a loud roar of his own as a rainbow explosion engulfed everything, meeting the blast wave of cosmic energy. Everything went from a sundering mess to a full-scale blinding rainbow sun that expanded everywhere.


As the light diminished, time started moving back into place again. Dan was the first to react and uncover himself from the sudden flash in his eyes. "Gnnngh…what…what just happened?"

All around them, the cosmos was still a spiraling state of destruction. Space had lightning and contorted distortions that looked like whirlpools. Nebulas seemed inverse as every fabric of space looked to be unstable. But that wasn't the most shocking part.

"Huh…?" Drago regained his consciousness, looking ahead. "Dan, look there!"

Dan faced forward, his eyes widening in surprise. "Wha…what is that…?"

As everyone was getting to their feet, they saw something. There was a giant spatial outline around a condensed field of energy. It had a rainbow sheen towards it, so nobody could see what was happening.

"What…is that?" Ren muttered.

Nurzak looked just as shocked. "It looks as though…there was an energy feedback, and now it looks like it's become so much that it condensed into a controlled mass."

"It's just floating there…weirdly." Zenet squinted.

Keegan looked around, realizing something was off. "Huh? Hey, where the heck are those other guys?" He came to an idea. "Don't tell me…"

They all looked at the spatial hemisphere with shock. It swirled in front of them nonstop with an ominous aura coming from it. Whatever happened just a few moments ago, it was kept contained in an entirely different realm beyond their ideals.


The cosmic skies churned heavily. It looked like a gargantuan typhoon was happening high above. Rainbow lightning crackled around the swirling center. It discharged in and out, continuing to pulse energy.

The blank space was a purple ground landscape with different attributed elements merging in the skies. They looked like all the attributes of Bakugan, but they were all mixed about.

Floating above this new landscape, Armagedoid uncovered himself. He took a moment to process what just happened and looked around with shock spilled on his face. "What…what is the meaning of this?" He turned his head once more. "Did…did our powers combined so much that space warped around us to make a separate dimension?"

There was a cloud of dust that was had a bright rainbow glare coming from it. Armagedoid turned his head and saw the silhouettes that were laying on the ground. He leered aggressively. "What is this…?"

Amongst the smaller silhouettes, a blonde stood up. "So after this…what do you think is going to happen?"

"I don't know…" a redhead stated calmly. "But I know…this is something that Code Eve meant, to take the power that Riaan used to give Armagedoid the strength he needed. Now…" He balled his fist tight, holding onto his sword tightly. "We have to use it, to help shape the world that we can make."

A light brown-haired female lowered her head. "Yes…that is our desire. To do that, we will do what must be done."

Armagedoid looked ahead, the gems shining brightly. "What have they done…?"

All the large silhouettes had thick veins on their bodies. They were all rainbow-shaded, glistening brightly. Those who had weapons, their shades were much different. A rapier had rainbow gloss, as did gloves from the brawn one. A taser lance had rainbow static charged. The spear that was contained with a glowing rainbow hilt. And the last weapon held…was a sword with a rainbow energy on the outside of it.

"Okay…" Luke held the sword up, feeling alive once more. "Let's end this! Here and now!"

The Bakugan all had rainbow outlines around their eyes and ornaments as they stood like titans over their battle partners. The last line of defense, and they faced off against a stunned Armagedoid.


Alright. 11 days to wrap up this story. Let's see what I can do! Hope you guys liked this tiny cliffhanger of the very last part of the battle coming up!
