The dark cosmic storm cloud high above crackled with the energy that Armagedoid had. The landscape was a gradual dark purple ground that didn't have any life in it. If it did, it would have vaporized instantly from the pressure that was being given off by the combined might of the Bakugan that opposed him. The dragon floated in a steadfast fashion above the silhouettes that had rainbow veins and crackling energy around their frames.

Standing at the front with Luke, his energy blade was held up in front of Abis. However, he looked drastically different. While he still had his maw and head armor, the neon blue gills and diamond shines on the body had turned rainbow. Instead of two fins on the back arching back, it was a giant wave-like fin that went back in wavy ridges with a bright blue glow. Shining blue anglers strung from the sides of the headpiece. His twin tails grew back, with rainbow sharp fins at the ends. However, the shark fin-like scales at the ends were gone, instead having massive gill-like protrusions that were a cosmic midnight blue like his whole underside with diamond patterns. However, what was striking different from last time, was that he had a massive, curved, bright blue glowing horn that reminisced of a blade.

Esther's eyes gradually opened with her spear's edging as rainbow as the accents on Atchibee. Her form didn't change too drastically, but her wing pattern most definitely had a new change. It had a pattern reminiscent of space, with sparkling stars and large accents that shined purple. Her antennae that lengthened to arch overhead backwards. The eye on the forehead moved towards the abdomen, with a rainbow ovular eye. The forehead had a rainbow gem. Her scythes glowed bright purple, along with the fur around her mane. Her eyes were also rainbow. Her claws, as well as her stinger, were also a bright, glistening purple. The Darkus accent on her back was no longer there. Instead, it had the attributed markings with a rainbow core.

Verias' overall humanoid gorilla structure hasn't changed either. He adorned golden armor all over his entire body, with accents flowing with bright yellow energy. The gems that glowed were now rainbow-colored. His pectorals especially had gems that were sideways diamonds. His long fur coat was now replaced by a bright yellow cape with a rainbow pattern similar to Atchibee, with a similar pattern on his staff's top, with a bright yellow bisento blade on the opposite end. The staff itself was a solid bar of crystalized yellow energy than actual material itself. The Haos emblem became a core on the necklace he wore, with a new crown that shined bright yellow with rainbow accents in the embroidery, and eyes. Around his face, more accents were woven that shines brightly.

Shuji stood with fists balled so tightly that rock could break within his grasp. Fly Beetle's overall structure hadn't changed too much either, but the horn primarily had taken on a new shape. It curbed upwards with the edging similar to an axe, though it had an alcove, so it was clear there was a break. The edging of said bladed horn was completely bright orange. The accents on his body were all rainbow, and the tusks on his face were all bright orange energy. Hardened rainbow energy were on the arms and legs, on the ends of the huge, much firmer, gauntlets and shins. Like Atchibee as well, he sported a similar pattern on the back of his thorax with rainbow accents running through the back. The underside looked like a bright brown cosmos. The silver wing set was now two instead of 1, making 4 wings to support his bulk. His shoulder diamonds turned to rainbow diamonds, along with his center.

Maggie stood with a readied look in her eyes. Behind her, Jelldon stared ahead with six eyes again. However, they were all of the main body's top, three rainbow eyes surrounding a rainbow core. The antennae eyes had become much longer, and branched backwards to make more slick antennae. The ends of the main antennae were rainbow gems, and the other 4 had become bright red bulbs. The dark red mantle had lost the orange spotting and had rainbow accents that flowed into gel sacs that were rainbow, leading to a bright red core. The thick red half underneath was no more. Instead, it became a bright red, cosmic skirt that had a neon-colored container with bright red, open spots. It connected with neon-rainbow tendrils that were all jumbled to look like a long, noddle-like mesh of a tail. Six neon tendrils with neon red dots near the ends had tint fibers that fanned bright reed energy into five corners like leaf folium into the rainbow edging.

Jase prodded his glasses once more as he stood in front of Atmos. The avian had rainbow eyes, just like the rest of his peers. The green diamond on the front became a rainbow jewel that was at the center of the silver V, which was now like a crown with another pointed end going slightly backwards. The dark green armor along the back of the head didn't change much, but bright green gems embedded around the dark green vest with a rainbow core. The red accents underneath the eyes turned bright green as well. A rainbow diamond was on the front, surrounded by a bright green energy that flowed from the gems. The back had green and dark green feathers with a cosmic reflection in them. The dark green wings turned full-on rainbow feathers with bright neon green spikes running along the joints. The talon claws were rainbow, with dark green guards on the legs with rainbow spikes on them. The tail became a V, in which rainbow energy stemmed the ends.

All six Bakugan blinked once before flaring their similar eyes and cores with rainbow static as they glared at Armagedoid altogether. A strong pulse emitted from their forms that gave the hue around them a neon shade.

"They…evolved using my power!" Armagedoid realized, still morally stunned beyond words.

"Gaia Fly Beetle." Shuji recited, with Fly Beetle's eyes glinting at the response.

"Imperial Verias." Shawn declared, hence Verias' gems shimmering.

"Celestial Jelldon." Maggie said, with Jelldon's eyes shimmering intensely.

"Arcana Atmos." Jase stated. Atmos' rainbow feathers shimmered brightly.

"Galaxia Atchibee." Esther pronounced, with Atchibee's eyes brightening.

"Excalibur Abis Omega." Luke declared, with the gills and accents shining brightly on his Abis Omega.

"And together…we're gonna beat you!" All 12 combatants declared.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 10,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 10,000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 10,000/Imperial Verias: 10,000/Arcana Atmos: 10,000 = 60,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 50,000

Armagedoid's glare intensified. 'Their earlier tolerance to the power of these forbidden effects, their bodies were fully able to embrace them. They also no longer possess the standard attribute. Still…'

"You are welcome…but I will ask one more time. Are you absolutely certain that this is what you want? There's no shame in turning the other way. I'll support you."

"I can make my own destiny. And I choose that my destiny is to help my Father and myself take what we have lost and have at the same time – nothing. I want to be someone, and you want to be remembered. This is my will now. My destiny."

'This is my destiny. This is what I want.' Armagedoid faced his enemies and ascended higher than before. The rainbow all across the body shined brighter than before. "THIS IS MY WILL! AND I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH…NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!" He raised his arm up high, summoning rainbow lightning from the skies above to circulate around a singular point over everyone's head. The energy storm shook everything apart, even the literal dimension itself. Rocks from beneath everyone's feet loosened considerably and broke apart, allowing gravity to defy logic and make it all rise up over their heads.

Everyone looked up at Armagedoid's flashy display, steadfast looks on their shining faces. This was the power they were dealing with. The power they have the disposal of.

"So…Armagedoid stopped holding back, huh?" Shuji chimed, taking a fighting pose. "Figures."

"What do you think is going to happen to us after this?" Maggie questioned, her tone neutral to the aspects of it all.

"Who knows. There's no way of telling whether this will backfire on us later on." Jase explained. "…but, to be fair, I think it's safe to say that if we do succeed, we will have an entirely new responsibility to take care of."

"He's right. We've come such a long way from New Vestroia." Esther stated. "We won't allow such a fear of the future overtake us."

"If anyone can change it, it's us." Shawn said. "Right, Luke?"

"There's no doubt in my mind…we have to. We didn't have a choice before." Luke stated. "We're all here now…all of us."

For a moment, they all looked up at their Bakugan respectively. Underneath the wake of this monstrous storm, the Bakugan were all looking forward with sheer determination and drive that brought them together with their partners in the first place.

"Then let's show him what real experience means. You'll put some real shock into that bully, I just know it."

The memories of the past few months enflamed Jelldon. He's come such a very long ways. His tendrils balled tightly, making rainbow fiery plasma erupt.

"We Subterra Bakugan hold our ground and prove our strengths! Now, let's prove our strength to this guy, what do you say?"

Shuji and Fly Beetle's fists balled tightly that orange energy crackled within the latter's clutches.

"What I meant was dwelling on a pointless past. But please, by all means, allow us to show you…just how wrong we can be!"

Atmos' wings flapped, giving them a rainbow fiery blaze.

"Verias, I trust you too. Thanks for being by my side…now are you ready?"

Verias' grip on his staff tightened considerably, so much that bright yellow energy flourished.

"It's my turn to show my worth! I refuse to run from the cause any longer!"

Remembering Esther's feelings from being liberated from the chapel, Atchibee's scythes enchanted with growing dark purple energy.

"If we die, then so be it. But no matter what, if anything happens to us, we know what's at stake…and now we're gonna fight to make that change. We'll save as many lives as possible from here on. The lives of Earth. The Bakugan. Even the Interacians. I owe it to all of them to make their lives have meaning through my actions. If I can save just one person in the end, then that proves something. And even after, I'll fight on until this matter is settled once and for all."

Luke tightened his grip once more, and the energy coursed into blue energy around Abis' sword horn with resolve.

The 12 beings glared harder than before. Their bodies had a thicker aura around them as they gleamed at the skies above slowly coming down onto them.

Armagedoid raised both of his hands high, the gems in the palms shining brightly with his resolve. "COSMIC STAR BOLT!"

Shuji's fists balled tighter as he glared forward. "We're standing our ground!" Fly Beetle mimicked his motion with his body causing a tremor that made rocks defy gravity.

"And we're to…" Shawn swiped his rapier, the same time Verias brought his staff back as earth depressed beneath him as well. "Save the ones closest to us!"

Together, Verias and Fly Beetle stepped up before anyone else. They looked at each other knowingly as the sky thundered and erupted with rainbow lightning. It discharged madly, until Armagedoid let loose a terrifying shriek and swung both arms down, directing dozens of thick lightning bolts with draconic heads at the ends soaring down onto everyone.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Galaxia Atchibee: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Imperial Verias: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Arcana Atmos: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000 = 30,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 50,000 (+30,000) = 80,000

"Interacia…will start a new beginning!"

Shawn held up his Bakumeter first. "Ability, activate…" He swung his rapier backwards and then up, directing into the sky above. "Heaven Enforcer!"

Verias twirled his staff as rainbow light circulated around its perimeter. Ince enough energy was charged up, he lifted his staff, and his cape flared the shining accents on the back. The staff reciprocated with the rainbow energy becoming a dome that concealed everyone just before the draconic lightning bolts shot down. They created a brilliant lightshow as they collided with the barrier, but they were stopped cold.

Armagedoid's gems dulled some with his emotions. "My ability was stopped…?"

"Shuji~!" Shawn roared.

"Fly Beetle, you heard him! Let's go!" Shuji activated the next ability. "Ability, activate…" He reeled his fist back and started for an uppercut at the same time the insect charged up a small energy hemisphere within the alcove of his horn. "Gaia…IMPACT~!"

Fly Beetle let out a groundbreaking roar as the earth depressed beneath him. A rainbow energy beam exploded into the skies from his horn, piercing through Verias' barrier and continuing skywards. They ate clean through all the lightning bolts and barreled higher into the swirling sky. Several rainbow explosions went off as the cloud coverage was starting to follow the reverse flow of the direction it was supposed to take. Fly Beetle grunted heavily as he pushed harder skywards, similar to Shuji giving his uppercut. They let out even louder screams as the energy erupted into a monstrous pressure that Fly Beetle projected into the sky.

After several flickers above, the spatial storm had started to lose it momentum and turned into a colorful star, which exploded outwards over the dimension and into the boundless distance. The clouds fully parted, revealing a bright, star-like light that radiated down on all the Bakugan that stood unaffected.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 5000 (+5000 +6000) = 16,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 5000 (+5000 +6000) = 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 5000 (+5000 +6000) = 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 5000 (+5000 +6000 +6000) = 22,000/Imperial Verias: 5000 (+5000 +6000) = 16,000/Arcana Atmos: 5000 (+5000 +6000) = 16,000 = 102,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 80,000 (-30,000) = 50,000

Armagedoid looked up to the distorted dimensional wake the combined attack made. If he had eyes, they would have been wide with sheer astonishment. No words could ever hope to come to mind. Starlight dazzled down on the entire plain.

"Impossible…" He slowly looked down at the opponents before him. "They couldn't have…"

The others stood right beside Fly Beetle and Verias, both of them opening their eyes and glaring rainbow daggers full of energy. The rainbow aura engulfing them seemed to have gotten brighter as their power arose tremendously.

Armagedoid immediately felt the imposing threat and the dark magenta aura on the back of his head exploded with power. "I won't lose…not when we're so close!"

"Now that we have his power, we can successfully nullify his abilities." Shawn stated.

"Then let's get to work." Luke declared.

Shuji sneered. "You took the words right out of my mouth!" At the last moment, Fly Beetle and the other Bakugan picked up their parents and speed in colorful rainbow lightning bolts across the earth, speeding after Armagedoid.

"Chrome Hydra!" Armagedoid let out a notorious shriek as his three streamer tails arched overhead and suddenly diverged into six crystalized hydra heads streaming after them.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 16,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 22,000 (-6000) = 16,000/Imperial Verias: 16,000/Arcana Atmos: 16,000 = 96,000

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

The hydra heads beelined through the atmosphere for all the Bakugan, but the nimble ones like Abis and Atmos were able to maneuver about swiftly. Fly Beetle used his impenetrable bulk to grip the hydra head heading his head and stop it cold, allowing Verias to fly overhead and slam his staff to smash its head. With his cape, he flew over the hydra head as another lined up for him, but at the last second, Jelldon used his tendrils to lace it and make it direct for Atmos.

"Ability activate…Aeroflame!"

Jase held on firmly as his taser lance ignited with rainbow static as Atmos was surrounded in a rainbow fire. He spiraled to make a tornado drill of green starlight veil him as he soared down at lightspeed, his power bolting towards 22,000 as he smashed clean through the hydra head, causing a massive explosion of green and rainbow flames to engulf the area. Armagedoid scouted the rainbow smoke as it suddenly flared up and exploded into a pillar of energy.

"Ability, activate! Titan Pillar!" Shuji shouted. The pillar of hardened rainbow energy continued its course towards Armagedoid through linear pulses, tearing through the hydra heads and closing in on Armagedoid.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 16,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 16,000 (+6000) = 22,000/Imperial Verias: 16,000/Arcana Atmos: 22,000 = 108,000

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

The pillar closed in, but Armagedoid withstood his momentum and reached his arm out. "Euphoria Shield!" The rainbow pillars kept charging until they slammed into an invisible rainbow screen, blocking them off, along with Atmos' rainbow-green infernos.

High above as a dark rainbow light, Atchibee dove in with her cosmic purple scythes. "Ability, activate!" Esther stuck out her rainbow spear. "Phantom Eraser!"

Atchibee hissed as her cosmic blades gleamed a brighter shade of purple and crossed all four. She drifted inwards through the pillar, phasing through it like a ghost and slashed all her blades as she shattered through Armagedoid's attack. Even Esther sliced through the shield, and together they rushed into Armagedoid and past him, making a ghastly explosion of dark rainbow as they seared his side.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 16,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 16,000 (+6000) = 22,000/Imperial Verias: 16,000/Arcana Atmos: 16,000 (+6000) = 22,000 = 108,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 56,000 (-6000 -5000) = 45,000

As Atchibee sailed along, Armagedoid was momentarily stunned with the damage before he looked ahead at the shattered barrier, revealing Luke and Abis Omega streaming through the atmosphere for them.

"Ability, activate…" Luke's Bakumeter also shined a rainbow ability. "Cosmic Hydro!"

Abis' rainbow eyes glinted for a moment before he careened his head back and expelled a violent roar. He lurched forward, firing a multicolored energy beam that looked like water at Armagedoid. His power accelerated towards 22,000 while the attack streamed its course.

Just before the attack was about to hit Armagedoid, the dragon's wings flashed brightly before he opened his maw brightly. "Saturn Extinction!" He unleashed his own, more concentrated multicolored blast of energy that collided with Abis' attack, resulting a jumble of stars split-seconds before an explosion of rainbow smoke erupted like another wall that beamed through the sky. His power arose towards 51,000 as a result.

The smoke suddenly dispersed as hundreds of red-rainbow energy erupted into a bolstering away of energy beams coming from Jelldon high in the atmosphere. "Ability, activate!" Maggie cried out. "Meteor Inferno!"

Jelldon's eyes blazed immensely as he showered down hundreds of cosmic tendrils from his underside. They moved as fast as stars and pierced the ground, causing hundreds of fiery explosions that made their way towards Armagedoid.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 22,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 22,000/Imperial Verias: 16,000/Arcana Atmos: 22,000 = 114,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 51,000 (-6000) = 45,000

Armagedoid saw the hundreds of energy beams coming down for him, but his tail soared skywards to impede that. "Chrome Hydra!" The tails split into six crystalized heads once more that soared up and chomped down on some of the meteors that were coming down directly. The fangs snapped on them, causing bright, fiery explosion to ignite as Armagedoid's power returned to 51,000, while Jelldon reduced to 10,000.

Time momentarily slowed down as Armagedoid was trying to get a hold of his surroundings, but his eyes widened when the flames had a giant hole tear open, with Shawn and Verias coming straight down with a staff and rapier, both shining bright rainbow.

"Ultimate Siba!"

Faster than what Armagedoid would have realized, Verias came down with the staff's bisento end in a glowing rainbow stream. He roared madly as he slashed into him harshly, making a bright rainbow gash that exploded, then pivot and got above him, hammering the staff's celestial end into his head, sundering him painfully into the ground, having yet another explosion of rainbow engulfing him.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 22,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 22,000/Imperial Verias: 16,000 (+5000) = 21,000/Arcana Atmos: 22,000 = 113,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 51,000 (-5000) = 46,000

Armagedoid went sailing back in a blaze of rainbow before he was able to get momentum back into the air. However, Atmos had already closed the gap with Abis not too far behind him. The falcon unleashed a kick into the arm blade, while Abis used his sword-like horn to impede the other one. Armagedoid easily swatted them both away and pivoted, swinging his blades and tails about. They would have hit of it wasn't for Fly Beetle suddenly taking the hit for them. But even then, he didn't budge. He gripped Armagedoid's tails, and with raw, enhanced power, reeled him in and landed a powerful punch that caused an explosion. It sent him drifting across the ground, where Verias drifted from the side after him.

Once his momentum came back, Armagedoid turned around with his arm stuck out. "Saber Nebula!" He fired a pressurized energy beam with cutting precision directly into Verias.

"Ability, activate!" Maggie countered. "Cosmic Distortion!"

As the beam, drew closer, Jelldon suddenly appeared and his body took the piercing attack. However, the gems on his body glowed brightly, and instead of taking the attack, it deflected off his body, darting in a searing comet into Verias' trajectory as he jumped overhead. The energy beam struck him instead, but rather than damage, t gave his power an empowering glow.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 22,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 22,000/Imperial Verias: 21,000 (+15,000) = 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 22,000 = 128,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 46,000

In midair, Verias raised his staff high, with Shawn activating an ability. "Ability activate, Bright Fallout!"

Verias' staff shined bright, causing the entire atmosphere in the sky to brighten before bright cosmic beams came shooting down at speeds equal to that of meteors. They all fell past Verias as he directed all of them into Armagedoid, who just watched as the entire sky was engulfed in spearing light asteroids heading his way and sundered his power by 6000, putting him towards 40,000.

As the meteors closed in, Armagedoid looked aggressively at the downward attack incoming. A bright flight started erupting from his body that expelled in all directions. "Luminous Zero!" The flash engulfed everything, erasing all of the meteors and bringing everyone to a momentary standstill. When the flash faded, it showed Armagedoid a fair distance from everyone below him.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 22,000 (-12,000) = 10,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 16,000 (-6000) = 10,000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 22,000 (-12,000) = 10,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000 (-24,000) = 10,000/Arcana Atmos: 22,000 (-12,000) = 10,000 = 60,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 40,000 (+10,000) = 50,000

"He nullified our abilities and brought our levels to base level." Maggie realized.

"Here he comes!" Jelldon shouted.

Armagedoid raised his arm high, summoning a dark light high above everyone's heads. "Ryu Meteor!" The dark light above manifested into hundreds of black lights that seared down with explosive power. The wake of the attack closed in one everyone as they stood their ground.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 10,000 (-6000) = 4000/Galaxia Atchibee: 10,000 (-6000) = 4000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000 (-6000) = 4000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 10,000 (-6000) = 4000/Imperial Verias: 10,000 (-6000) = 4000/Arcana Atmos: 10,000 (-6000) = 4000 = 24,000

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

Maggie raised her Bakumeter, instigating another ability with a rainbow glimmer. "Ability, activate! Spectral Petroleum!"

All the rainbow gel sacs across Jelldon's body shined brightly before he spread his arms out, creating a gel-like rainbow energy shield. The meteors came crashing down, but they were instantly absorbed into Jelldon's shield. The impact of each strike made ripples that vibrated outwards.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 4000 (+6000) = 10,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 4000 (+6000) = 10,000/Celestial Jelldon: 4000 (+6000) = 10,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 4000 (+6000) = 10,000/Imperial Verias: 4000 (+6000) = 10,000/Arcana Atmos: 4000 (+6000) = 10,000 = 60,000

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

"Ability, activate!" Luke cried out for an immediate counterattack. "Stellar Hydrair!"

The gel-like rainbow energy began shifting energy until its entire mass erupted into a brilliant tornado of energy that had a liquefied rainbow gloss around it. Abis was at the center, his anglers spread out as he conducted the attack with all his wrath.

"Ability, activate! Alpha Typhoon!" Jase followed up.

Atmos generated a similar beaming tornado of a celestial whirlwind that encompassed him. The two cyclones spiraled closely around each other until the momentum of the two tornadoes caused them to combine, becoming a massive beaming hurricane that caused all the spatial energy in the sky to tear apart around the epicenter. It ascended to where it tore a hole open in space, allowing a clear visual of stars and the planets that were of universal content. The hurricane spiraled onto a fixed point.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 10,000 (+5000) = 15,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 10,000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 10,000/Imperial Verias: 10,000/Arcana Atmos: 10,000 (+5000) = 15,000 = 70,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 50,000 (-5000 -5000) = 40,000

Armagedoid's star-like embroidery shined brightly as he charged up more cosmic energy into his maw. At the same time, his tails swayed madly. "Saturn Extinction!" He fired a beam into the sky. "Chrome Hydra!" The beam was followed by even more crystalized hydra heads snaking around to follow up his attack.

Esther's eyes flashed blue as she held up an ability. "Ability, activate! Morrigan!"

As the hydra heads and interstellar beam blazed skywards towards the massive hurricane the Bakugan were creating, Atchibee got in between as her wings spread out. They glistened with dark stars with a brightened indigo background in the wings before the attacks were all drawn into her. She took it all in, sucking it all up like a black hole in space. Her power escalated drastically towards 22,000 while the energy dissipated within the celestial hurricane that swirled around her, closing in on Armagedoid.

The dragon looked massively stunned, but levity wasn't on his side as the energy crashed down. The ground reduced the shrapnel as it shrank for a moment before exploding outwards into a monstrous hurricane that ate everything in its wake. Armagedoid's screams were put on mute as he tried to fight it, but he found it difficult and was whirled around, feeling his body getting shredded by the water pressure and winds.

Once he realized where to get his momentum, he straightened up within the hurricane and crossed his blades.

"Photon Render!"

With a swift sweep of the blades, he spiraled in the opposite direction of the destructive hurricane. The attack immediately dispelled it and cut clean through the atmosphere. The blade's shockwaves rushed Atmos and Abis away, back into his allies, where Jelldon and Atchibee respectively caught them.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 15,000 (-5000) = 10,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Celestial Jelldon: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Imperial Verias: 10,000 (-5000) = 5000/Arcana Atmos: 15,000 (-5000) = 10,000 = 40,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 40,000

Armagedoid's body gradually shined and resonated into a searing bright rainbow color. His wings suddenly exploded outwards into bright flares as he twirled his entire frame into circles. "Deracination!" A cyclone of pure cosmic energy surrounded Armagedoid as he ascended higher within the dimension. Magenta lightning crackled inside that his body expelled. He expelled a violent roar outwards as he could feel the power surfacing towards extreme measures. The glow from his body made him look like an exact replica of Eve's light, if not seemingly darker and stronger.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 10,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 5000/Celestial Jelldon: 5000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 5000/Imperial Verias: 5000/Arcana Atmos: 10,000 = 40,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 40,000 (+10,000 +66,000 +125,000) = 241,000

The tornado of pure energy twisted and turned madly with a furious force surrounding it. Its wake was so extreme that it sent pulses skywards once more and traced fissures of pure rainbow energy beneath everyone's feet. The ground's debris subtly defied gravity and blew up rocks that vaporized in midair…but none of them were deterred by this. Instead, they glared up at the overwhelming size of the hurricane of spatial energy that transcended the dimension, causing the likes of the attributed background to crackle with unstable force.

Armagedoid let out a bolstering cry as he flexed his wings out farther, causing the energy to become brighter as it twisted and expanded slowly across the area towards them.

Shawn held up an ability and readied himself. "Ability, activate! Purity Ultimatum!"

Verias' eyes shined brightly as he twirled his staff overhead and his cape flared with a yellow cosmic energy. He brought the highest point down and slammed the ground around his allies, causing a rainbow aura to envelop them all. The shock of the attack was also enough to blow away enough of the fissures to provide spacing room.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 10,000 (+17,000) = 27,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 5000 (+23,000) = 28,000/Celestial Jelldon: 5000 (+11,000) = 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 5000 (+23,000) = 28,000/Imperial Verias: 5000 (+29,000) = 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 10,000 (+17,000) = 27,000 = 160,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 241,000

"It will never…be enough!" Armagedoid raised his hands high. Bringing all the momentum within his hurricane afoot down onto everyone. The massive storm of pure energy would be enough to completely disembowel anything in an instant.

"Everyone, bear with me for this!" Jase shouted, holding up another rainbow ability. "Ability, activate! Supreme Avianna!" Atmos' wings fanned and he spread them out, causing a rainbow, cosmic storm of energy to surround everyone. Each of the Bakugan had their own individual outline of rainbow energy that caused all the gems on their bodies to shine heavenly.

"Atchibee!" Atmos shouted.

"I am always ready!" the moth declared.

With the extra boost that they needed, Esther calmly held up her arm as an ability shined brightly. "Ability, activate! Endgame Shield!"

The cosmic pattern on Atchibee's body gradually glistened and shined bright energy that exploded into a streaming, dark rainbow veil that encompassed her and her allies. It became its own counterclockwise force that met the downward tornado in the center. The weather itself turned into instant lightning as the two counteractive forces became too much for the other, until the center between broke away into a powerful eruption of energy that sent ripples outwards. The ground that seemed to have went on endlessly went silent for a few moments before the ripples passed overhead; eventually making an immense eruption that pushed everything away. The ground reduced to shattered splinters that were picked up and scattered into the distorted borders if the dimension.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 27,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 28,000 (+191,000 +6000 +2000) = 227,000/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 28,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 27,000 = 387,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 241,000

Magenta and rainbow lightning constantly flashed around Armagedoid as he pushed down and out with his tornado. He screamed mightily, but no matter how harshly it spun, it wasn't breaking the dark rainbow and indigo turbulence shield that Atchibee was surrounded in. Her body was glistening with a glowing dark purple energy and crackling voltage surrounded her.

"Your power will become ours, Armagedoid!" Atchibee declared.

With the opening, Luke held up his next ability. "Double ability, activate!" Two holographic abilities revealed themselves and shined rainbow energy. "Power Tide, plus Submerge Shield!"

Abis coiled up as time slowed down drastically. Everything seemed like a blur as rainbow tides suddenly engulfed him and Luke. They gradually gained momentum until he finally exploded with deep blue energy, which transcended into the tides that exploded into a monstrous monsoon skywards.

The shield that Atchibee created was shredded clean through, eviscerating the hurricane looming over them and churning straight into Armagedoid. The dragon looked shocked before the cyclone struck him, followed by an immensely powerful, expanding force that seemed to be a deep blue dome. The dome pushed the tide outwards, creating an omnidirectional tsunami blast that flattened the debris around the surroundings.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 27,000 (+247,000 +193,000) = 467,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 227,000/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 28,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 27,000 = 799,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 241,000

The hydro-energy shockwave stirred Armagedoid into a frenzy. Some of his light wings were misaligned and his tail streamers blew about in a frenzy – one snapping in his face and cracking the guard. He grunted in pain as was pressed against the shield. The pressure against the shield became too much that he was unable to break through. Once the momentum was back on his side, he was able to correct himself and beeline out of the rainbow tide.

"Ability, activate!" Esther followed by jutting her blade out. "Star Scale!"

The starlight twinkling in Atchibee's wings glistened brighter than before. The scales glistened brighter with dark purple arrays gathering. Once she flapped her wings, the scales shot into Armagedoid's direction. They looked like dark purple asteroids that blitzed into his body. Even as he swiped furiously with his blades, Armagedoid's cutting precision only got so far in until the countless beams bombarded him, pushing him back further into the atmosphere.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 467,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 227,000 (+120,500) = 347,500/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 28,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 27,000 = 919,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 241,000 (-120,500) = 125,000

Armagedoid screeched in agonizing pain as he resembled a dark rainbow star that whistled down into the distance. He crashed into the ground, creating a mushroom cloud of earth that sent shockwaves everywhere. Everything was leveled within the area and fanned out hastily beyond everyone's reaches as they glared harshly forward.

The dust wave cleared away, revealing radiant wings slicing through the cloud of dust. Armagedoid arose with a vengeful snarl, but he seemed momentarily out of it. His body had a few cracks and bruises, but he was going on strong. He raised his arm high and swung it down.

"Cosmic Star Bolt!"

The dimensional open skies suddenly flashed brightly. From the opening in the storm clouds, crackling rainbow lightning manifested into draconic bolts that streamed down for everyone beneath. As they drew closer, the gale that Atmos created before suddenly appeared again, blocking off the lightning bolts from any approximate contact.

Armagedoid's cracked helmet flared with angst. 'Their power levels aren't dropping. It must be the effects of the one ability!'

Excalibur Abis Omega: 467,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 347,500/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 28,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 27,000 = 919,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 125,000 (+30,000) = 155,000

The lightning bolts kept beaming down, but no matter what, Armagedoid's attack wasn't getting all the way through. When his core brightened, he added even more force to make his voltage intensify. This in turn caused a little more pressure the curbed the attack inwards, making the bolts close in gradually on everyone below.

Fly Beetle stepped up, using his superb bulk to brace for impact. Once the dome caved in enough, a hole tore open that exposed him to the lightning barrage that e took head-on without any relent. He grunted heavily as he dug his heels in and steeled himself.

Latched on his shoulder, Shuji had no doubt in his mind what had to be done next. "Ability, activate…!"

The edging on his horn shined bright rainbow, and upon impact, the lightning started melting into globs that were all being lowly melted towards oblivion. It took several moments, but the expanding force from his horn's mass that piercing an explosive distortion that he and Shuji forced together.

"INFINITY HORN BUSTER!"

Fly Beetle manifested the energy, and with every pulsating force that was within his being, he unleashed what could have been the most destructive and atomic-level blast wave of orange-rainbow energy that kept going. The imperial wake of the attack flickered before even more eruptions destroyed the earth. The ever-expanding wake traveled beneath the ground, beaming skywards, before even more explosions went outwards, flattening those eruptions. From the bare core of that explosion, a monstrous beam of energy was streaming clean through the dirt and matter, vaporizing everything that stood in the way of it and Armagedoid.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 467,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 347,500/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 28,000 (+6000 +2000) = 36,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000/Arcana Atmos: 27,000 = 921,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 155,000 (-30,000 -6000 -2000) = 117,000

Armagedoid's face – if it were ever possible, showed genuine shock as he reached his arms out. "Euphoria Shield!" He made another forcefield, but this one looked far bigger than before from the shimmering energy beaming from his body. The glow of his wall countered and blocked off the explosion beam for a split second…before it flashed again and created a pillar of orange-rainbow energy that beamed into space again. The skies tore open as the shockwaves tore open earth and blew everything away.

The shockwaves induced so much recoil that all the energy that the shield was able to block off caused Fly Beetle to be blown away. Shuji held on limply as they seemingly were cast aside, until a green-rainbow hole tore open the dust in an instant. Jase and Atmos grabbed Shuji and Fly Beetle, gave them momentum before allowing Jelldon to catch him, and continued on as literal green lightning that seemed to make up his body. He looked like an energy falcon that seared everything in his path.

"Double ability, activate! Spatial Spiral, plus…Meteor Nimbus!"

Atmos let out an earsplitting shriek as his entire body started spinning like a drill. Feathers that were fluttering off his body became energy flames that joined his momentum as he beamed for the shield at speeds no one has ever seen before.

"Ability, activate!" Shawn shouted. "Starlight Arrow!"

Verias' staff exerted a prominent glow – a rainbow one. The staff glowed to be as bright as the sun, until it exerted a powerful arrow that had a stardust-like spiral going around it. The energy arrow flared intensely into a spiraling cosmos that Verias threw down the trail that Fly Beetle's explosive beam created. The arrow soared across the sky like a comet with stardust on its tail. It beamed alongside Atmos' trajectory.

As the arrow sailed with Atmos' spiraling missile, the two energies began mixing, forming a piercing arrow toe burning angelic, feathery wings that broke the speeds of meteors. The ditch that Atmos and Jase traced deepened into trenches until they reached Armagedoid's barrier.

At the exact moment of impact, a rainbow glint beamed everywhere across the dimension, destroying everything, including the massive shield by the Spatial Spiral's force bending its space. The shattered fragments were blown away as Atmos pierced Armagedoid, with Jase sticking his taser lance out. The rainbow static ignited the point of impact, discharging the voltage directly into Armagedoid's core. Time slowed down for a split-second…before the arrow with lightning passed through with an explosion.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 467,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 347,500/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 28,000 (+6000 +2000) = 36,000/Imperial Verias: 34,000 (+5000 +2000) = 41,000/Arcana Atmos: 27,000 (+6000 +2000) = 35,000 = 932,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 155,000 (-30,000 -8000 -6000 -2000) = 109,000

Atmos beelined into a 90 Degrees climb with Jase into the atmosphere, with a dirt trail being a stunned Armagedoid limply sailing backwards. Jase's taser lance surprisingly paralyzed him, long enough that he couldn't rebound when he fell backwards and tumbled across the ground until he crashed onto his back.

Everyone needed a moment to recuperate. They all reconvened with each other as they glared down Armagedoid with energy auras enveloping all of their bodies. The dragon erupted into a skywards blitz back to their elevation with all the rainbow on his body and tail shining intensely. All the stars on his helmet signed bright rainbow, while the head's gen shined the brightest out of all the gemstones on his frame, even outshining the light wings on his body.

"We are ending this now!" He crossed his arms, and all his shining wings flared brightly for a moment. Once the light dimmed, the ten wings jutted out of place and got into a similar formation like Oracle Cannon. The tips concentrated dark light into ten small hemispheres. The hemispheres stayed attached to the wings as they started moving in a clockwise formation. They gained momentum until they moved so fast that it looked like a funnel of light that Armagedoid glared through.

Matter concentrated into a singular point. Once it compressed deep enough, the dark matter gave off crackling electricity that concentrated it all into a single point at the mouth of the funnel. It looked like a black hole with starlight inside of it the mass intensified until finally, it created an unstable molecular distortion around Armagedoid. The dragon gave off a vile roar as the beam was at full power.

"ASTRAL CANNON!"

In several blinks in a second, the black hole suddenly expanded and exploded into a monstrous beam that was the size of Armagedoid himself, if not more. It bolted across the terrain in an instant, reducing the earth to oblivion. The atmosphere roared with the palpitations of an earthquake as it jettisoned towards the crowded Bakugan at lightspeed.

Everyone braced themselves as the beam closed in on them. They watched as the trench itself literally split apart, with dark matter spewing from the wake of the beam from either side.

'An ability that can neither be nullified nor absorbed. It is pure dark matter!'

Luke exchanged looks with Abis, who exchanged them with everyone else. They all seemed ti be in agreement and they shot in a rainbow jet into the oncoming beam. They glared at it head-on without any hesitation.

"Think back on it. Against those kinds of abilities, you need to nullify or better yet reflect that power back at the sender."

That memory from New Vestroia against Shawn sparked something inside of Luke. He remembered vividly what to do. He thrusted out his rainbow sword, another rainbow ability revealing itself on the blue Bakumeter. "Ability, activate! Mercury Mirror!"

Abis' rainbow eyes flashed brightly before he opened his maw wide. The anglers on his body projected four rainbow-shaded mercury shields that morphed together to created one singular shield, one large enough to rival the size of the attack heading his way. The Astral Cannon struck the mercury barrier, but instead of eviscerating, it was absorbed into it and mixed with the mercury. Luke swung his sword out and yelled loudly. The mercury liquified the dark matter completely and was sent back through the mirror with dampened energy.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 467,000 (+6000 +5000 +2000) = 480,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 347,500/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 36,000/Imperial Verias: 41,000/Arcana Atmos: 35,000 = 948,000

Eternal Armagedoid: 109,000 (-59,000 -6000 -5000 -2000) = 37,000

The beam blitzed across the terrain into Armagedoid, who looked morally stunned with what he was seeing. His attack – which couldn't be nullified nor absorbed, was heading right back at him. He was going to move or defend, but his body ached from the stress that the others inflicted upon him. He was engulfed in his own attack mixed with mercury, causing a geyser of dark matter to explode outwards.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAH~!" Armagedoid was losing his momentum as the beam pushed him back further. Dark mercury coated his wings and left two of his wings visibly broken. Waves of debris were pushing him further and further away from his opponents that he couldn't seem to reach.

"Yeah. If Interacia can be saved in some way, then I think I wanna be here to help others with that skill. And Neathia and Gundalia will need help repairing themselves after the destruction caused. Someone needs to help rebuild, and Verias and I wouldn't have anything better to do. Plus, maybe a little bit of chrome buildings will brighten up Gundalia and Earth."

Reciting the dream that he told Shuji, Shawn's rapier shined brightly as he directed it towards his friends. 'We will carry you guys…because that's what friends do!' He revealed his final ability. "Ability, activate!" He raised his arm high and the light permeated the staff. "War Seith!"

Verias let out a massive battle cry as he raised his staff just like Shawn did with his weapon. A rainbow aura engulfed all his allies as well as himself. The pressure suddenly exploded and the atmosphere lost all visible storm clouds in an instant. Clear, atmospheric stars revealed themselves as they flashed brightly. Everyone screamed with bright energy from their former attributes making them look like ethereal energy beings.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 480,000 (x3) = 1,440,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 347,500 (x3) = 1,042,500/Celestial Jelldon: 16,000 (x3) = 48,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 36,000 (x3) = 108,000/Imperial Verias: 41,000 (x3) = 123,000/Arcana Atmos: 35,000 (x3) = 105,000 = 2,866,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 37,000

As Armagedoid was still flying backwards, Atmos blitzed across the dimension's skies, beaming with a flaming, rainbow-green aura that resembled fire.

"…I've been thinking about creating programs to spread the technological influences between our worlds. To share what knowledge we all have kept from us to help us better grow and understand one another. After this catastrophe passes over, Atmos and I would like to help rebuild the broken worlds with the shared technology each one has."

"Aeroflame!" He shot down at lightspeed, passing Armagedoid in nanoseconds with explodicve burning feathers and a taser lance slashed across the neck. The shockwaves whipped up a violent typhoon that eradicated more of the earth that he was unable to get a grasp on.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 1,440,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 1,042,500/Celestial Jelldon: 48,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 108,000/Imperial Verias: 123,000/Arcana Atmos: 105,000 (+6000 +2000) = 113,000 = 2,874,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 37,000

As the flames simmered away, Armagedoid blacked out for a moment, one of his wings shattering like glass. He composed himself enough to see another energy bolt that looked as hard as diamonds with Fly Beetle's carapace outlining it.

"If you're looking for something to do, I'm sure you and Fly Beetle can help level down disaster areas. It would help build new foundations for everyone."

"You sure drive a hard bargain. Heh…guess it wouldn't hurt to try. Fly Beetle and I will think about it, but it beats going back to our old lives."

"Exo-Delta!" With his carapace hardened with the cosmic energy, his brown-rainbow silhouette bolted across the earth at the force of a meteor.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 1,440,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 1,042,500/Celestial Jelldon: 48,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 108,000 (x2) = 216,000/Imperial Verias: 123,000/Arcana Atmos: 113,000 = 2,982,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 37,000

Armagedoid looked on, mortally horrified before bringing up his hands. "Euphoria Shield!"

The shield was summoned once again, but Fly Beetle smashed through it no problem. The shield didn't even slow him down at all! His axe-like horn went straight into Armagedoid's chest, carving into the core and causing him pain.

Fly Beetle suddenly grabbed hold of Armagedoid, still pinning him to his body. The dragon had no leeway as an erosion of what looked like a supernova was eroding his direction. He looked on stupefied, while Maggie and Jelldon stood in the center of the growing fiery rainbow.

"Yeah, I know. But just as you have Atmos, I have Jelldon. He can help beat up the bad guys, and I can heal the injured. I wanna travel between all these worlds and help tend to those who need help. I wanna study up on all the Vestal and Gundalian medicine too. It's like you said, using different technologies can benefit a lot of lives, and I wanna save as many lives who were hurt by Riaan and natural disasters possible. That goes for the Interacians, too. So Jase, I'm counting on you to make your goal happen as soon as I start hitting those books!"

Maggie's eyes flashed intensely as she reached out. "Supernova!"

Jelldon let out a monstrous cry as his entire body erupted with a pillar of spatial fire skywards. With all of his tentacles reaching out for Armagedoid, he sent the explosion wave across the dimension, burning everything in its path to nothing.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 1,440,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 1,042,500/Celestial Jelldon: 48,000 (+49,000) = 97,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 216,000/Imperial Verias: 123,000/Arcana Atmos: 113,000 = 3,029,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 37,000

The inferno shockwave rushed into Armagedoid and Fly Beetle, but the latter didn't seem at all bothered by it. With the energy around him basking in something like an eternal armor, he allowed the inferno to engulf him. Armagedoid, on the other hand, was far from lucky as the plasmatic heat burnt away much of his draconic skin. Char spots grew across the body and the ethereal blades. He went to lift them, but he was caught stunned when they visibly melted through the nova.

With no weapons on his arms, Fly Beetle let go, allowing the supernova to fully engulf the dragon. His screams were muted out by the explosion's ever-existent flames that seared through the light of his wings. The corners were quick to steam up before reducing to crisps. Two more wings, one from each side, weren't so fortunate as they reduced to molten slabs that were blown into the wake.

The blaze eventually found its end, allowing Armagedoid some levity…only for it to become something much worse. The grizzly visage of dark matter shaped into a ring by the connected scythes of Atchibee. They didn't even look like scythes anymore. No…they looked a lot more like twin blades that were crystalized into the dark nebula she manipulated.

Esther stood on her head, her eyes closed and hair shifting madly through the winds generated by the sheer pressure her Bakugan possessed. But even if she was supposed to feel crushed or lacking of breath, she felt livid.

"I haven't decided. It'd probably do some good to maybe write about everything we've been through. If everyone heard of Riaan's tale, then even after his defeat, the many lives will be scarred with a painful truth they will have to live with for the rest of their lives." She hugged her knees tighter as she turned further towards Luke. "But they should also know, about the tales of those who were willing to accept those faults, and did everything in their power to rise to the challenge."

With her thoughts of what she wanted to do, her blue eyes flashed open once more. "Ability, activate-!" She gave off a dazzling twirl of her spear before finally directing into Armagedoid. "Chaos Merge Riser!"

Atchibee's rainbow eyes flashed brightly. She used her crystalized energy blades and directed the ring of dark matter at the suspended dragon's crippled frame. If he had any layers of skin, he would have paled at the ring surrounding him. The area that it took up gradually shrank down to a bare minimum, confining Armagedoid's burnt limbs and scales tightly like a squeeze. Surprisingly, the ring felt more inversed than the supernova. Rather than a burning sensation, it left him feeling a slight chill. It made him feel alleviated for a still moment…before the ring completely turned pitch-black.

Armagedoid's mind to oblivion when the ring expelled a dark nebula in all directions. Space distorted into several dozen smaller ripples that would have reduced the standard Bakugan to bits, similarly to black holes sucking in all matters of light from existence; Armagedoid's wings were completely turned pitch-black and were sucked away into the nebula that pressured him into a confined spot. He felt his spine nearly snap, and his armor cracked to where the rainbow tubes and lubricants snapped completely. Rainbow energy gushed out like blood into the darkness pushing him in various direction. There was no gravity in this wake of darkness that he could escape to find some measure of ground. He felt like he was in an eternal freefall.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 1,440,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 1,042,500 (+227,000 +2000) = 1,271,500 /Celestial Jelldon: 97,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 216,000/Imperial Verias: 123,000/Arcana Atmos: 113,000 = 3,029,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 37,000 (-36,500) = 500

The dragon's rainbow luster was quick to fade into pitch-black. He could feel everything, and yet, at the same time…nothing. He limply looked down at his arms to see them looking like they were dipped in lava; burnt and torn up. He couldn't even feel them if he wanted to. The detached nails even were no longer there. He only caught a glimpse of a nail that seemed to drift into the dark matter away from his disempowered frame.

With no wings to hold him up, he only relied on the freefall effects of the explosion to keep himself upright. He was so dazed that he didn't process a pressure change. The crushing feeling he's been having was loosened some as the nebula receded. Finally basking in solar light above, he looked skywards as the darkness faded away, revealing all the Bakugan that were his banded foes fly in with Abis and Luke taking the lead.

For a moment, his dulling eyes could see the fierce look in their eyes. The sheer determination for their goals, no matter how diverse they may have seemed. He was left momentarily baffled, but with everything racing around him, all he could do…was just watch it unfold.

"Nothing. It's just…thanks."

"For what?"

"For everything. For being my friend. It's strange. Even though my heart's racing…I'm not nervous. I'm really happy right now. In fact, this is probably the happiest I've ever been. I have actual friends…and Abis…and you…I can actually think for myself because of everyone here. We've been on a really insane adventure…I kinda wish this moment could last a little while longer…" He looked up at the sky. "But this is just fine. I'm happy like this."

The feeling that Luke had when he was talking to Esther before…the sheer memory of it all was flourishing into a massive rush of energy that entered his blood stream. As he gripped his blade tighter, the rainbow outline of it shimmered even brighter than before. The blade horn on Abis' head shined bright rainbow energy that nearly doubled the blade's size. It had a cosmic, sparkling sheen that mystified the area around him. His allies felt it, giving them even more vibrant auras that gave the impressions of six comets that sped down for him.

'This is it…this must be it! No…this will be it! The final one! With this…we'll make the future…one for everyone!' Luke brought his blade back as he and Abis streamed faster than everyone else. "Ability, activate-!"

Armagedoid looked on in earnest shock. He could see the energy blade give off a layer of dense, rainbow water that streamed around every sharp edge. It erupted into a voluminous liquid mass the coated Abis, making all the diamonds on his body shine brighter than ever. The core that everyone had on their bodies shined in unison as they bolted after him.

Luke brought his blade forward, as did Abis when his head came down.

"SEA SOUL KARBIA!"

Faster than the eye could blink, the duo bulleted through Armagedoid's entire frame. A blue-rainbow stream flowed through the impaled core that had a trench-like tear through it. And there was a rainbow gash that was by the smaller blade present. The momentary suspense that Armagedoid had to process didn't happen, as everyone else followed in speeding bolts of comets into his two arms, his legs, and finally, his head. The limbs were struck so hard that their structure completely fell apart. The helmet and the gemstone were fractured so much that they shattered.

Excalibur Abis Omega: 1,440,000 (+6000 +2000) = 1,448,000/Galaxia Atchibee: 1,271,500 (+5000 +2000) = 1,278,500/Celestial Jelldon: 97,000 (+5000 +2000) = 104,000/Gaia Fly Beetle: 216,000 (+5000 +2000) = 223,000/Imperial Verias: 123,000 (+5000 +2000) = 130,000/Arcana Atmos: 113,000 (+5000 +2000) = 120,000 = 3,072,500

Eternal Armagedoid: 500 (-6000) = 0

Time slowed down to where everything felt like it stopped completely. Luke and Abis followed through as the energy blades that both had slowly faded away. The bright energy that shrouded every last of their forms had engulfed them so much that they looked like a unison rainbow flare that flashed beneath Armagedoid.

The dragon was unable to let out a prominent cry as his life flashed before his eyes. He could feel his entire being coming back when he was first born. That memory of meeting Riaan…was something had him feel warm inside.

'Master…'

The memories he's been sharing over the past few months after being born…were one of most intriguing ones that any newborn Bakugan, let alone entity, could ever have. He could have been born to deliberately obey Riaan in the first place, but instead he was given the capabilities to feel and understand. Granted, that took a lot of effort, but effort as something that he knew came by extremely hard these days. Perhaps in another time it could have been different, but in the time that he was born, to where he was now, feeling his spirit fading away…it seemed to feel liberating, for a lack of better word.

After being born, Riaan – his father – explained everything. He took care of him, helped him answer his questions, and best of all…he allowed him to make his own choices. Though even if he didn't like it, knowing that it's come to this, this felt so liberating; to feel that his goals that he's decided for himself made such an impact. This was what Riaan talked about. Even inside, he could feel his master have these same feelings.

'Thank you…for letting me live this kind of life. It felt so…fulfilling.'

The others looked back as Armagedoid's draconic frame gave off a rainbow glow, one that burnt away the dimension, as well as the open stars that burnt above them. All that was left…was a blank space that faded to black.


The spatial energy surrounding the small hemisphere was swirling nonstop. The others were starting to get worried. Ren stepped up to get closer. "We can't just sit around and do nothing! We need to help them!"

At the last second, Nurzak grabbed his shoulder. "Don't Ren. That rift is pure distorted space. Getting close to that may very well tear you apart."

"What?! Then how are we supposed to-?!" Julie blinked. "Hm?"

"What is it?" Mira looked ahead, seeing a spark from the hemisphere. "Wait a minute…what's…?!"

The hemisphere that starting to give off various forms of magnitudes. The light began to distort in and out, fading back and forth until the magnitude was enough to evolve into an earthquake. The Empyrean's blue networks were flickering endlessly.

"What's happening?!" Shun shouted.

"I don't know! But…did those guys fail?!" Gunz panicked.

The rumbling of the Empyrean began to intensify. Massive bolts of lightning came from the spatial portal, making everyone scream as they covered up. The hemisphere condensed, before exploding into a massive light that engulfed all of them.

"Gaaaaaah!"

The light beamed everywhere, spreading into a shockwave that rippled across Interacia's sky, and throughout the dimension. It engulfed everything, including the planets that were affected. Everything was swallowed by this light's embrace. And yet, while it was so harsh…it wasn't vaporizing. No…it felt warm.

As the bright light faded away, it took several moments for it all to process until everyone realized that it was gone. Dan gradually opened his eyes, which widened at the scene that unwrapped before him. "Huh-?! What the-?!"

Everyone looked up and could have sworn they must be seeing something out of a dream. The winds howled in the atmosphere Asian as Luke was back. And not just him. Mounted on all of their Bakugan, they all looked ahead at where Riaan's sword was still piercing the ground. Above it, they could see an extremely dim, dark rainbow hue light with a magenta star right beside it. They looked to be fading in and out…but at the same time, they seemed…warm.

There was a short silence that followed as everyone looked between the six Bakugan and the two stars that were symbiotically linked. They didn't know what was going on, let alone what to feel. Words alone weren't nearly enough to explain the shock on all of their faces.

"…" The dull light flashed weakly at them. "…congratulations, to you all…"

"…" The twelve didn't say anything. They all looked at Riaan and Armagedoid's fading lights with empathy.

"Using my very power against me…the power, to take life…and make it anew. I believe you are now aware of the responsibilities that you all have to endure from here on."

Esther spoke up. "Yes, we know very well."

"When one has power, others will seek to have it for themselves. You may have earned this victory, but never forget, young ones…in the coming ages, not everyone will see your power as a gift as you do." The light gradually faded away. "I…we leave Interacia…the fate of Bakugan itself…to you all. This will be your ultimate reward…prosper…and live…to make a bright future that you see."

"Master…" Armagedoid's small form lulled. "Did I…did I do well…?"

The light turned towards the smaller one, chuckling. "Armagedoid…you were extraordinary. You did your best…and that's what it takes to prove that you are your own, real Bakugan."

"Master…"

Riaan was silent for a moment. "Come…my son. I think it's time that we try we make amends with your Mother, what do you say?"

"…I would like that…Father."

Both lights kept flickering in unison in front of everyone…until finally, they began dimming away, for good. They gradually faded out of existence, leaving dark rainbow and magenta sparkles to flutter down onto the ground.

Beneath, the sparkles touched Riaan's sword. It cracked apart along the hilt, until it finally snapped off. The blade was stuck into the ground, but the hilt hit the ground with a few tumbles before landing in front of Luke and the others.

The Empyrean's blue networks began losing their luster. They faded away, as if decommissioning for the last time.

A strong wind howled with a chilling sensation in it, yet nobody felt it. They all just looked on completely baffled, if not perplexed with how to take the situation. It took almost a whole minute before anyone could register what just happened.

Julie blinked several times. "Um…what just happened?"

"I think that…" Marucho trailed off.

"Riaan and Armagedoid were…defeated for good!" Shun gasped.

"You really think so?" Gunz quipped.

"Unreal…" Dan looked up. "But…I don't sense this creepy feeling going up my back anymore. I don't feel cold at all…it's like some kind of dream."

Drago opened his ball form. "Yes, I can sense it, too. I don't feel Code Eve or Riaan's presence anymore…they're gone."

"So then…that must really mean…" Mira's eyes shrunk with a gasp, the realization dawning upon her.

Spectra and Gus looked up to the sky in realization. It didn't take long before they also realized what this meant. Alice looked at Hydranoid and felt no negative energy. The Neathians, and the Gundalians; they all looked at each other with realization and started to smile wide.

Jesse closed his theater book. "It seems…that this show is finally over."

"Riaan and Armagedoid are really dead…that means…" Fabia stood straight up. "We…we've won!"

"Rubanoid…we've survived." Linus rasped.

Rubanoid opened his ball form. "Yes, Linus…it most certainly looks like it."

Julie was shuddering. Not out of fear, but out of joy. Her body trembled and she curled up before letting out a massive cheer in front of the camera. "OH YEEEEAAAH! WE DID IT! RIAAN AND ARMAGEDOID ARE TOAST! DID YOU ALL SEE THAT?! IT'S OVER! IT'S FINALLY OVER!"

Keegan looked down at the ground, letting out a long, exhausted sigh.

"We did it, eh big guy?" Ace chimed, knocking knuckles with Baron.

"We did it." He smiled.

Back home, outside, the magenta energy that was seeing through all the cracks in the open fissures started to fade away. The energy gradually faded away, turning to nothing that left dense layers of rock with molten lava coming from the lower mantle.

Onscreen, Luke's family saw the broadcast and looked morally stunned. "They did it…" Claire gasped. "Augustine…our son, he…!"

Augustine said nothing. He looked out the window and saw that while the disasters have stopped, he couldn't help but shake the feeling that something was going to happen.

"Yeah, take that Riaan!" Akira cheered. "That's my big bro for ya!"

Nene looked shocked, but crossed her arms and huffed. "Well…I guess he did."

Michelle was watching with a tentative look. While her soldiers and cadets were cheering outside in the main corridor, she was in her office, bowing her head with a morose sigh.

"My baby…she's really okay!" Maggie's mother cried, wiping her nose with a tissue. "My little girl…she's all grown up."

Runo clasped her hands together, genuinely happy and teary-eyed to see that Dan and her friends were still able to get out okay.

Serena sat in the throne, sighing heavily out of relief.

"Yeah, we did it!" Dan smiled proudly as he talked with the others about the victory. They all looked so relieved to be done with Riaan and Armagedoid for good.

They were so happy for the victory, that while they were in the middle of feeling relief and congratulating each other, the six got off their Bakugan and looked down at the ground. Abis and the others all glowed rainbow colors as they reverted to their new ball forms. They all caught them hollowly, and for a good reason as well.

The winds kept howling around them as they were all gathered around Riaan's broken blade. They know that they should be happy for stopping the destruction of their planets, but they also know that this wouldn't be a two-sided victory. They knew very well of Riaan's ways and what he tried to change. Hearing them all cheer like this in the background was just insult to injury.

"You've only brought prosperity to five planets, and how did you accomplish that? Didn't you have to do the same thing that I am doing, in order to achieve that specific goal? You had to fight someone, too. And in the end, didn't they end up paying the piper? You talk about peace like everyone should be happy at the end, but did they get the happy endings they wanted?" he squinted hard, sending a chill down all their spines. "As I have said, you're nothing but hypocrites. There's nothing different from between what you've done that I am doing right now. What everyone has to do in order to make their dreams come true. Fight."

He took one more pause, reaffirming his position against everyone as his magenta eyes glowed briefly. "Peace cannot exist without violence. The battle, never ends! Just because you've stopped violence in your time, doesn't guarantee that in the future, or elsewhere on another world, there'll be rebels or others like me. You've overestimated your beliefs, and now it's time for you all to wake up!"

Even though they won, they what Riaan said all the way back on Neathia was true. The battle never ended, and not everything is over when it seems to be. At the same time, they knew not to pity for the dead. If they defended Riaan's ordeals, it would shame what they were fighting for as well. To everyone behind them: Making sure that their lives on their homes were salvaged.

Luke looked down at Riaan's broken hilt, frowning mournfully for his master turned enemy's defeat. He's taught him so much…even after becoming the biggest nemesis to ever stand in his way. He instilled knowledge that would be within him and his peers for a long time.

"…Master Riaan! Thank you for everything!" Luke shouted towards the sky.

There was a silence that followed them as they kept gazing forward at the empty summit. The others were still talking when the Empyrean started to quake lightly.

"What's going on?" Maggie gasped.

"This isn't good. Now that Riaan is defeated, that means his core is no more." Jase deduced.

"Which means…" Shawn's eyes widened. "…Interacia is going to collapse and fade from existence!"


All across Interacia, the entire planet was shaking with the force of an earthquake. The tremors violently eroded unstable plates beneath everyone's feet. The folks within their homes watching the broadcast were feeling the ground beneath them violently rupture.

"Hm? What's that?!" A soldier in Troposphere panicked. He looked down at his Bakumeter with shock. "Milord has been defeated! With no ruler to guide, we must…!"

Suddenly, a spark came from his body. He barely noticed the few energy specks that resonated from his frame. He looked stupefied to say the least. "Wha…n-no…why do I feel so light all of a sudden…?"

Farther out from Troposphere inland, fissures were opening wider within the beautiful landscape. Pieces were starting to fall into the empty black void, including gemstones and large trees. The lush green plains were starting to deteriorate gradually, until large quantities the size of cities were piling into sinkholes.

In Solaris, Cole was holding his stomach as he sat in front of the television. "Mom…I don't feel so good…"

"Let me see, sweetie." His mother hurried towards his side and looked at his stomach. She saw a speckle drift into the air with her own eyes. "C-Cole?!"

"Mommy…that man…maybe…he really did save us…" Cole cringed as he clutched his aching form. Specks were coming off him as was his mother. 'My body…feels so heavy…'

Along the broken mountains to Outback Isle, everything was crumbling and falling into fissures. Trees were coming down with rivers and minerals into the darkness. The isles were crumbling away gradually, eating apart everything that came into contact with the ground. The ocean waters were making tides that crashed into the shores that tore up even more rock.


Keegan stood with the group, when suddenly his body felt a searing pain. He fell to a knee with a gag and clutched his abdomen. "Gnah!" he coughed.

"Woah, Keegan!" Ace gasped. "You okay?!"

"He just suddenly collapsed!" Baron panicked.

The group looked towards Keegan as he was panting heavily. The Empyrean was already lagging in stability, but now everyone was feeling the unstable ground. On top of that, Keegan looked like he was about to throw up.

"Oh dear, he doesn't look too good…" Alice watched as a speck drift up from Keegan's frame. She gasped. "Keegan…are you…?"

As in pain as he was, he managed his usual cocky expression. "Heh…looks like that Riaan wasn't bluffing after all…gnnnngh!" He grunted harder than before. He labored heavily from the massive levels of pain he was feeling. 'I guess…is this really…my time?'

"Keegan, hang in there!" Gus snapped, turning towards Spectra. "Master Spectra, what should we do?!"

Spectra looked down at Keegan with a serious frown. He could see more speckles erode from him as his body was starting to look too heavy for his mind to take. 'If all Interacian life is indeed connected to Riaan, then without him…this entire planet's stability would in fact go erratic. It won't be long before the lack of a core causes the entire structure to deteriorate…and implode onto itself.' He looked at Gus. "Gus, we need to get out of here."

"Yessir!" He looked down at Keegan, with Baron picking him up from his other shoulder. "Hey, stay with us, alright?"

"Interacia is breaking apart?! Then we've gotta book it!" Dan shouted. He turned towards the rest of the group. "You guys hear that?! We need to get moving, pronto! That goes for you guys, too!"

"Yeah, we hear ya!" Shuji shouted. "We need to hurry guys, otherwise we're gonna end up dead, too."

Everyone nodded in agreement…all except for Luke. He kept looking down at Riaan's broken blade. "…" He was silent as he was thinking back to what Riaan said before, and more importantly, what it correlated to what he said about saving everyone.

"I…we leave Interacia…the fate of Bakugan itself…to you all. This will be your ultimate reward…prosper…and live…to make a bright future that you see."

"You talk about peace like everyone should be happy at the end, but did they get the happy endings they wanted?"

Luke was silent as he thought about what everyone has been through…what he's been through. They defeated Riaan, and as a reward, they were now part of the six most powerful Bakugan that have ever lived. They have power…now it was time to give back what he owed.

He looked towards Abis, who looked at him intently. Both knew very well what must be done. "Everyone, get going now!" Luke turned around to gaze at his cohorts knowingly. "Abis and I will stay here and fix the planet."

Esther stepped forward. "Luke!"

"You heard what Master Riaan said. This is our responsibility now. We swore that we would try and save as many lives as we could…this is something we have to do."

His friends frowned heavily at what this could potentially mean. They weren't stupid. They knew the consequences of Luke and Abis making such an act happen. They didn't like it, not one bit…but they understood what he was going through. And with what was happening, this was for the best.

Amongst the crestfallen group, Jase stepped up to Luke. He reached his right hand out, but remembered that he was left-handed and retracted it for that same hand.

Luke looked down at the hand with mild surprise. "Jase…"

Jase offered a soft smile. "Luke, how you've changed."

Luke chuckled as he moved his sword to his right hand to shake hands. "Yeah, I was pretty awful, wasn't I?"

"But remember, no matter what actions that you take from here, not all of what you have done will be forgotten or forgiven so easily. Regarding that, you must…no, I hope that you come back to us."

Luke only offered a smile. "Don't ask for the impossible, Jase."

Jase pitifully frowned. "I'm sorry."

He walked away, leaving Shawn to come out and give Luke a light punch on the shoulder. "I'll be waiting, you knucklehead. It's going to be lonely if I don't show up at your mansion and you're not there." He teased with a serious look.

"Hey, you don't have any obligation to visit the manor because you want to watch over me."

Shawn put his hands to his hips. "True, but it's an obligation as one of my best friends. Not your caretaker."

"Do I still look 5 to you?"

"No…but I still want to make memories for as long as I can with you, Luke, if possible. So come back alive. I'll never forgive you if you just disappear for everyone's sake. I won't accept that excuse."

Shawn moved out of the way in time for Maggie to leap for Luke's stomach. "Luke~!" She chimed happily.

Luke stammered from the sudden tackling hug. "Woah, Maggie!"

Maggie looked up at Luke, smiling endearingly. "God, you're so easy to read, you know that? You know, it'd be a problem for me I you didn't come back to us."

"Why's that…?"

Maggie pulled away. "Because, silly, I need someone there to help be my little test buddy. You always do stupid stuff, and stupid stuff leads to you getting hurt." She wagged her finger. "So in order for me to tend to my patient, he has to be there, okay?"

"Maggie…" Luke wasn't sure what to say, but kept it short for her sake. "…okay."

Maggie giggled cutely before stepping away. Making room and stepping in front, Shuji got up and punched Luke in the shoulder, a lot harder than Shawn did. "You're still the biggest jerk and moron that I've ever known, alright?!" he yelled to his face. "And that's something that will never change! No matter how much I wanna beat you to a pulp!"

"Shuji…!"

"So…" He looked pained in his annoyed expression. "So…just don't forget about me, alright?!"

Luke smiled softly at his friend. "I won't, I promise."

"Good!" He turned away, sniffling some before looking back one more time. He begrudgingly turned away, muttering how much of an idiot he was. Luke simply smiled at how he cared for him.

Footsteps tapped hastily before they stopped a few feet away. Luke looked over, and a short silence fell as he made eye contact with Esther. The two were silent for the longest time, but eventually, they knew the time had come.

Esther looked away, heavily saddened. "…promise me you'll come home." She muttered.

"E-Esther…"

She looked at him more openly, putting a hand to her chest. "Absolutely! No matter what! I'll be waiting for you! Always…and forever…" Her eyes softened to where she looked like she was going to cry.

Luke could only offer a bright smile for his beloved friend. "Alright. Without fail. I promise, I'll come home for you."

"Abis…"

Abis Omega heard the voice and turned around. Floating in midair steadily instead of bobbing like what other Bakugan did, Abis looked at his five fellow Bakugan's ball forms as they all closed in around him.

"Abis Omega…like with Jase to Luke, I hope to see you come back once more. You are…an exceptional ally to us…to me." Atmos said.

"Atmos…" Abis paused. "Thank you, my feathered friend."

"Abis…" Verias shifted closer. "I'm really glad to consider you as my friend, too. The bond that Shawn and Luke have…it's the same that I have with you. I'd rather you didn't go back on that now. So please, be wise."

"I will, Verias. I will."

"Geeeeeeeaaahh!" Jelldon's ball form jugged Abis as well, much to his chagrin. "You *sniffle* you better come home soon! If not…I won't have anyone to roll around in jelly with! And I wouldn't be able to help Maggie, too! So…so don't disappoint, alright?!" He whimpered.

"Jelldon…okay. I'll miss you, too."

Jelldon moved away, sniffling while Fly Beetle moved up. "Take it easy, alright?"

"I will. Heh, that's rather punctual, wouldn't you say?"

"Perhaps…but words only mean so much. That's what both our partners do, right? Why not follow example and back them up with bigger action."

The two Bakugan shared a light chuckle before Abis turned towards the last Bakugan that floated up to his side. He made eye contact with Atchibee as they were a foot away from each other.

"Atchibee…"

"Abis Omega. Do you remember when we first git acquainted in the woods on New vestroia with our new friends? Well…I have a special request. I would like to see you there again. I want to share the memories with you from those times that we battled together, just once more, up to now. So please…return there, when you and Luke are ready."

There was no doubt in his mind. Abis knew the answer easily. "On my life, Atchibee. I'll return for you…all of you. My friends, my friends for life."

The Bakugan accepted the proposal and shifted away. Everyone started back for the nearest exit where they would glide all the way back down towards the Vestal Destroyer stationed at the very bottom. Amongst them, Esther came to a stop and lowered her head. She closed her eyes, muttering very lowly so that only she and Atchibee could hear what she had to say.

"Luke…I love you."


Once everyone evacuated the summit, the Empyrean continued to shake and rumble. It quaked so badly that it looked like it was going to collapse from the stratosphere at any given second.

Luke stood at the pinnacle, standing completely still and readying himself for what he knew had to be done. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to concentrate. Once he was ready, he opened his eyes and looked straight out across the nighttime horizon.

'This is it…time to hold up my end of the deal. I swore I would try to save as many people as I could…even if it risked my life.' He clutched Abis tightly and glared forward. "Okay Abis, let's make this right! Bakugan, brawl!"

He threw Excalibur Abis Omega out onto the Empyrean summit. In a rainbow light, the titan-evolved Abis Omega arose with a loud roar that rattled the Empyrean even more. It only quelled when the shout settled down.

Luke watched as his partner lowered his head to allow him passage to ride. He stepped on, and together they looked at the sea below.

"Okay…let's do this!"

"I'm right beside you, Luke! Let's go!" Abis roar mightily. He slunk his brilliant frame off the Empyrean's top and slithered about in coils skywards. He shot up several hundred feet in a split second, taking a moment to look down at the world and the Empyrean. Without hesitation, Luke tightened his grip on his partner and they went diving in a rainbow comet straight down into the water.

As everyone drifted down on their aerial Bakugan, including Verias – who was able to fly now – they all watched in silence as Abis Omega's frame turned into a streaming aquatic rainbow jet that protected him and Luke. They beamed down as fast as a meteor, fading across the horizon into the dark waters.

Esther watched on, her face falling into a slight depression. "Luke…"

Once they've reached the water far below, Abis and Luke took the plunge – literally. A simple splash as the shot into the depths with the rainbow veil concealing Luke from lack of oxygen and water pressure. It was like he could breathe underwater within this water. He held onto Abis as they swam further into the cold, dark depths of the planet. Keeping deeper, and deeper, until they were getting to where pitch-black had taken over.

Luke closed his eyes, focusing the best he could. He could feel it, the very center of what his being was telling him. He was starting to recall what Code Eve was reciting before.

In tales that lie in stone, there lies a tale that follows its entities. Those entities that dare to take the path of righteousness out of all odds shall cometh of six worlds. Six worlds that intertwine into what shall spark the dawn of a revolution. Numbers though small, their hearts follow in valor behind a man and the rising dragon. The two souls that have been blinded by darkness once shall forever make a stand, and bring forth a world in which all shall be undone. The reset by these brave souls shall start with the visit of one world, where those souls shall meet and forever be destined to change all that has been written. From then on, the man of darkness shall see the light and carry his brethren to the end of diversity. A soul of cindering red shall be quelled by scales of deep blue, edging into the bond between man and Bakugan for eternity.

'What Code Eve said, it doesn't have to be in stone. And Master Riaan, his will doesn't have to be the end of others either of their futures. Abis Omega and I…we can bring those two together!'

In a spur, Abis' rainbow comet vanished. When he reappeared, he was in the center of what looked like a very tint glint of a magenta core. It had very faint energy around it. It was well beneath the mantle, and the core of the ground. And yet, it felt so familiar.

'This must be it. This is the core of Interacia. Now that we have Riaan's powers, we don't have to burrow any further without wasting time. Okay…time to fix what's been broken for a long time.'

Abis drifted closer towards the core as it seemingly faded away in the distance. But even so, just enough of it was there so that he and Luke could track it.

"Hey, Luke."

"Yeah, Abis?"

"Looks like we were able to keep our promise to each other after all. The one we've made on our lives."

"Yeah, we sure did. And you know…I'm glad that we were able to keep it. If it were any other Bakugan, then it wouldn't be taken seriously…but look how far we've come from just a stupid human and a regular Abis Omega."

"Yeah. Heh…you know, for what it's worth for what you said…we did alright. Don't you think?"

"Abis…" Luke smiled. "Yeah…we sure did."

Luke stood up and watched as they drew closer towards their goal. As Abis was swimming their way towards their final destination, Luke held a steadfast look on his face as he was thinking back to the long journey that he shared with all of his friends that he made along the way. All the enemies he's made in Luka and Rogue Zero, turning to valued allies that gave their lives for making a future that they wanted. They all meant so much to him. They entrusted the future of Interacia and their lives onto him. He had to do everything to ensure that no matter what, he lived to see that his wishes were fulfilled as much as theirs were.

At the end of it all, Luke was able to muster a smile.

"Hey…"

Calmly looking towards his right, he saw what looked like Luka's silhouette in a faint light drifting right by his side. "Luka…"

His silhouette smiled softly at him. He looked ahead, alongside Luke, as they faced forward. Even after his life had come to an end, the blade's grip tightened. The rainbow shine of its end was still there, causing Luka's spirit to shine brighter as he guided Luke and Abis along the path towards the core.

"You know what to do…" With that, Luka's spirit faded away, allowing Luke and Abis to phase through and continue their way.

"We know…thank you."

The two continued their course, heading further into the darkness and fading into its core. It went silent for the shortest time, before what looked like an explosion of rainbow energy blossomed everywhere.


On the Vestal Destroyer, everyone got inside as it disembarked from the Empyrean's island it sat on. Even the island was crumbling away to shrapnel. With the tower losing a base, the entire structure was cracking and breaking apart without any signs of regeneration. All while the huge spacecraft left the domain.

As it drifted lower into the atmosphere, inside, Keegan's body was kneeling before his peers. The speckles on his body continued growing as more of his body was getting translucent.

"Keegan, no." Gus frowned.

Keegan panted heavily, looking up at everyone. "Hey…what the hell you all looking at…?" he panted. "It's like you're seeing a ghost or something. Hehe…"

"Is this really the end for all Interacian life?" Zenet worried.

Lena put a finger to her glasses. "I'm afraid so, Zenet. We may have won the war, but this the price that we must also pay for our enemies."

Keegan cringed. "Hey, who're you calling an enemy?!" He got up, but the light intensified around him to an even thicker extent. He was unable to move, and worse, he was feeling lighter. "Well…at least I had a pretty good run. That's something to take out of this…"

From the windows, a light was seen coming from the crumbling Empyrean above. Ace was the first to recognize it. "What's that?"

Nurzak looked up, his expression looking shocked. "It's the Empyrean…!"

The Empyrean was showing rainbow energy networks that were channeling through, dimly growing, before brightening up. Everyone could see the rainbow energy channel all the way up towards the summit. The erupting magnitude in the air intensified more as the Empyrean suddenly glowed so much rainbow that it gave off a very powerful glow that beamed in all directions.

"Don't look!" Fabia warned. Everyone did as instructed and shielded their eyes once more. They all looked away as the light beamed like a supernova across the atmosphere.

The Empyrean exploded into a shockwave of rainbow that vaporized itself on the spot. In turn, the rainbow energy pillar shot into space, beaming through the distorted dimensional sea above. When it reached a certain point, the sea rippled rom the impact and expanded the effects of rainbow energy across the cosmos. Even then, the beam kept going, burrowing across the dimensions until it ascended into the norms of space.

When it reached a certain point within the depths of space, the beam fanned out into five different beams. They all diverged, fanning through more dimensions in nanoseconds until they closed in on Earth, New vestroia, Gundalia, and finally Neathia.

When each of these beams made impact with the oceans or lands of these disastrous planets, they unleashed a rainbow shockwave that fanned out into a ripple effect across the globes. People and Bakugan that were still alive were looking at this lightspeed shockwave that they had no chance of outrunning. With speeds above Mach 8, it blossomed across the numerous worlds in five rippling globes.

"Claire, look!" Augustine pointed outside.

Claire hurried over towards the outside. She looked out and gasped as she watched the rainbow ripples spread across her lawn. They didn't blow anything away or level down the mansion. No, instead, these shockwaves did something that she never would have guessed before. The dead grass that was directly beneath along with the bushes…were immediately restored. The lush, green leaves produced were returning in an instant, with the murky waters of the huge pool in the backyard returning to a crystal blue.

It wasn't just their place returning to normal. However, while cities were left terribly destroyed, the national landscape formations like the mountains and the canyons of North America were being repaired by these ripples. Mountains that were now loose gravel started eroding and solidifying back to normal. Swaying tidal waves across the coasts have started calming down, and storms were disappearing. Tornadoes started fading away, allowing clear views of the nighttime starry sky – a normal starry sky.

Back inside the Vestal Destroyer, everyone was left stupefied by what they were seeing. Once their vision was coming back, the first to react was Mason as he saw the fading ripples across the atmosphere. "…okay, I'll bite. What the heck was that just now?!"

"The Empyrean…it…it faded away…" Ren muttered. "But why…?"

A light got everyone else' attention back towards Keegan. As he was gradually fading, his body shined a rainbow aura that lifted him back to his feet. Everyone looked wide-eyed as the aura gradually faded, leaving them shocked.

"W-what's happening to me…?" Keegan muttered.

Around Interacia, similar rainbow ripples were traveling across the oceans and skies. It immediately quelled the tides and the land. And in a similar effect, the broken land and the fissures started fixing themselves. Slowly, but ever-so gradually, the energy that transmitted the power throughout the land was bringing back plant life.

On New Vestroia, Amazon suddenly burst out of the waterfall, landing on a rock. He looked up at the sky with deep shock. "Sensei!"

Preyas stepped out, and he could see the changes almost instantly. His red eyes looked up in earnest shock as he could see clear skies and lush, green plant life returning to the isle they were hiding out on. Broken rocks were reduced to sediment, and the dark, foul ocean's color returned to its purity.

As Cole was starting to fade away while holding onto his mother, there was a rainbow aura that filled his body. He looked down frightened. "M-Mom! What's happening?!"

"I don't know, sweetie!"

Keegan was still glowing along with the landscape, with everyone still watching with shock and confusion. Once the light faded, Keegan was back on his feet, solid once again. He looked left and right, momentarily dazed with what happened.

"What…the hell did I just feel just now…?" he mumbled.

"It can't be…" Gus muttered, before stepping up. "Keegan…you didn't disappear!"

"I…was disappearing?" His eyes snapped wide with shock. He remembered now. "Wait…you mean that I'm…still alive?!"

"It's a miracle…" Zenet mumbled.

"What caused all of this? Was it the Empyrean?" Elright wondered.

The Vestal Destroyer was getting signals that brought up the alarms. They all shined brightly, causing Spectra to hum lightly and look down at the messages. "Hm? What's this?" He started tapping on key components, and when enough were typed, he also looked surprised. "This can't be!"

"What is it, brother?" Mira asked.

"Take a look at this, everyone!" Spectra pressed another button, showing holographic panels of various locations and images that were from the five planets.

Everyone saw it. The light that the Empyrean gave off was still rippling, encompassing the globe of each planet until the lush life in the natural landscapes were starting to return. Fabia's eyes shrank as she saw Neathia's pure skies return, and the wasteland far out return to being rock instead of snow that faded away. Ren and Nurzak watched Gundalia becoming an entirely fresh landscape.

"Neathia…"

"Gundalia…"

"Huh? Wait…that doesn't look like Gundalia, what's going on?" Zenet questioned.

Nurzak observed the broadcast with suspicion. "I think this might be a hunch…but I believe that the energy that is being used is reverted all of our planets back to their richest states. That includes Gundalia."

"You mean…before the Dark Bakugan Wars?" Linehalt gasped, turning back towards the refreshed landscape that was supposed to be Gundalia. "Our home…the light is returning."

"Vestal's waters and clean air are coming back, too." Baron smiled joyfully.

"New Vestroia's life…is returning!" Wilda gasped.

"I cannot believe it…but the change has begun!" Hydranoid realized.

Alice clasped her hands together. "Then…then that means Luke and Abis Omega really did it. They've really restored our homes!"

"That guy did all of this?" Dan breathed. "Man…"

Keegan looked just as surprised, but that surprised was quickly mounted when he felt a rumbling inside of his pocket. He reached in and pulled out Andro Elico. Like him, Elico was also shining rainbow that faded away. "What the…Elico?"

Elico's ball form suddenly shuddered before popping open. The head moved slightly. "Ggnnnngh…where…where am I…?!"

Keegan flinched. "What the-?! Hold on! You're talking?!"

Elico lifted his head, staring at his partner. "Hello, Keegan."

Keegan nervously gazed at Elico back. "Um…hello…?" He looked at the other skeptically. "Uh, mind telling me why my Bakugan started talking all of a sudden?"

"I thought the Interacian genomes were fixed so that Bakugan were cloned and replicated to their fixed clones." Mira said, before her eyes narrowed. "Wait…could it be? Did that light…did Luke and Abis Omega, really just overwrite the Bakugan genome to allow adaptations to fixed genetics?"

"It would appear so." Spectra smirked. "How very…credible, wouldn't you say?"

"Interacia still lives…but Earth and the other planets have also been restored…" Dan looked at the skies of Interacia. They were back to normal, much to his surprise. "That's awesome…the air here is so pure."

"Wait, if that's possible, then…we don't have to worry about our planets dying?" Ace questioned.

"It looks like it." Shun smiled. "What's more, it seems that Luke was adamant about allowing Interacians to have their own lives. He must have written their genomes so that they are all individualized, just like Keegan and his Elico." He looked over at the mentioned pair, who seemed to be in a round of questions with each other, mainly Keegan.

Dan smiled at the scene. "I guess in the end…it looks like we and Riaan got our wishes. Everyone is able to live individually again…!" His eyes widened. "Wait a minute! If that's what happened, did Luke and Abis Omega really just…"

Everyone looked towards the five humans and Bakugan that were looking out at the sky. The rainbow ripples that their friend gave off had faded away. Jase stood tall with Shawn and Shuji sitting down with crossed arms. Maggie looked maturely upwards at the scene.

However, amongst them, Esther frowned heavily as she knew what happened. She lowered her head, silently praying for the best for what Luke and Abis Omega have done.


In another light plain, everything felt pure and sincere. Even as a hemisphere of pure energy, Riaan and Armagedoid were drifting along, aimlessly as father and son.

"So Father…do you really believe that I am welcomed to where we are going?" Armagedoid asked.

"Trust me, my son…I know so. You especially deserve it." The light turned towards the side. "But…before we venture there…how about we try starting over, shall we?"

Behind Riaan and Armagedoid's light, there was a third. Drifting along, following close by, they recognized the third light joining them for the adventure.

"Eve…" Riaan hummed.

"Riaan…" Eve lulled. "Listen, I know that…I was indeed an unfair mother and a terrible partner."

Riaan chuckled. "It's alright, Eve…I'm to blame as well. I supposed that maybe I was clung a little too much to those hopes you've given me."

"Riaan…it's alright. If anything, you were right all along. I supposed that in the end, both our dreams have come to an understanding. And we have your little protégé to thank for that."

"Luke? Hahaha…yeah…he's grown up just fine. I'm proud of him." He paused. "Would you…like to properly meet your son?"

Eve's light turned towards the magenta star. "…yes. I think it's best if we can all enjoy this next adventure together."

Welcomed by both figments, Armagedoid drifted closer towards Eve. "Hello…Mother."

"Hello to you as well…my son. I am your Mother, Code Eve."

"Mother…Father…"

Riaan chuckled, his light glimmering heavily. "Come, Eve, Armagedoid…we have plenty to catch up on."

All three lights shined brightly. The two big lights had Armagedoid's magenta star in between them, like a child holding onto his parents' hands. The three drifted happily skywards into the lights of what awaited them on the other side.
