Chapter 7: Monster X vs Drago
(Play Bakugan battle Brawlers opening theme remixed with Godzilla orchestra theme)
"What are you gonna do?
(Dan and Shirō stand across from each other in a battlefield, gate cards in their hands.)
The odds are stacked against you
(The two look at each other as they yell and throw down their cards and Bakugan orbs.)
Back against the wall. Gotta give it your all (Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)
(The bakugan spheres as Drago emerged and roared before the king of monsters himself, Godzilla rose and bellowed as the dimension shook under his power.)
This is the final stand (Ah ah ah ah ahhhh)
(There's an image of several Bakugan, a reaper, robotallion, and seige, as well as several Kaiju, Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, And so many others.)
The powers in your hand
(Darkness flowed as Masquerade and a boy with a mask on his right eyes rose as both bared dark grins)
Two worlds Collide, on the inside
(A battle scene between Drago, teamed with Tigrerra and Godzilla plays out as they charge on two gate cards.)
You gotta fight for what's right
(Godzilla faces Space Godzilla, Destroyah and a skeletal humanoid monster as he bellows while his body exploded red.)
Before it's gone, gone, gone
(Shiro and dan yell as they raise their ability cards in their hands and slam them down on the ground.)
This is Bakugan!
(The title appears as a Godzilla roar shakes the title until the scene goes black)
The matches went by and finally it was time for the one on one matches against Marduk and Dan. The two got to their places and the battle started.
"Bakugan, Field open!" They both yelled as the desert styled Subterra field appeared. The sand storm whipped around them and stung their eyes. Clearly this was a higher difficulty level.
"Gate card, set!" The two yelled as they set their cards and then they took their first bakugan out.
"Time to start my warm up!" Dan grinned.
Marduk did a backflip and waved. "I will completely destroy you!" He declared.
The announcer called for the match to start, and it began. Marduk went first, taking out another gate card. "Gate card set!" The card grew to its big size and one of the Kaiju floated up towards him.
"Send me in, Marduk. I hunger for a fight." Destroyah growled.
"And your wish will be granted." Marduk told him as he took the bakugan and gripped it. "Bakugan Brawl!" He yelled as he threw Destroyah at the card he just put down. "Bakugan Stand! Go Pyrus-Ventus Destroyah!"
The monster rose in its strongest form, its face shaped like a giant battle ax and its armor like that of the plated armor of the samurai. In terms of size it seemed to be just as big if not bigger than that of Gorem or Godzilla, and its power level was even more absurd.
"Pyrus-Ventus Destroyah enters battle at 470Gs, no other data available." Their bakupods buzzed.
"Whoa! That thing is huge!" Dan gasped in shock.
Destroyah leered down at the young brawler, hissing. "Bring your bakugan out, child, so I may pulverize it." She demanded.
"Uh…" Dan said before shaking his head and grabbing his first bakugan. "Bakugan Brawl!" He made sure to go around the field and pick up as many pick ups as possible before landing on the card with his Pyrus Robotallion. "Bakugan stand!"
The large robotic bakugan stood up with a robotic roar. "Pyrus Robotallion enters battle at 420 Gs." The bakupods buzzed. Next Dan upped the ante by throwing down an ability card.
"Ability Card Activate! Robotallion Enforcement!" Dan yelled as flames engulfed the bakugan.
"Sudden power increase! Robotallion power level now at 470 Gs!" Buzzed the machines.
Marduk only grinned. "Scrap 'em."
Destroyah screeched before swinging her tail. The jagged ends penetrated deep within Robotallion's gut and shot out from its back.
But luckily the bakugan was able to catch the blow and then it started to slowly lift and swing the creature around like a top.
Destroyah was actually caught off guard by this, and because of that, Robotallion was able to capitalize on it. It kept swinging until it hurled the living Oxygen Destroyer into the side of the stadium with a loud thud that shook the entire arena.
"Oooooooh! That's gotta hurt!" The announcer called. "Despite an injury, Robotallion still stands! Question is, did Destroyah survive!?"
The answer was Destroyah getting up with a growl and turned to face her opponent. "Marduk, Ability Card, now!" She hissed at her brawler.
The dark brawler grinned before pulling a card out. "Ability card activate… Laser horn." He flicked the card at her as it was absorbed into her body. Destroya screeched loudly as the horn on her head glowed orange as energy shot out and extended to an energy like sword.
"Power increase detected! Destroyah now at 570 Gs!" The bakupod beeped.
"Oh no!" Dan yelped as the energy sword collided with Robotallion and it was sent flying back towards him as it bounced to his feet.
Marduk retrieved his bakugan with a smirk. "Next!" He called.
Dan growled. 'He's not giving me any openings…!' He thought before pulling a card out. "Gate card, set!" He tossed it as it formed a new platform.
"Marduk…" purred Biollante. "I wanna turn~!" She whined from his right shoulder.
Marduk chuckled. "Very well, my dear." He grasped Biolatte and tossd her. "Bakugan brawl!" the sphere rolled before landing on Dan's gate card. "Bakugan stand! Rise from the earth, Subterra-Aquos Biollante!"
The plant Kaiju squealed as it rose to its full size, seemingly just as big as Godzilla, if not bigger.
"New bakugan Recognized. Subterra-Aquos Biollante enters battle at 460 Gs." The pods mentioned.
"Shoot, not good…" Dan said.
"Calm down Daniel, just slow down and think first." Drago told him, Naganoid and Draconid chirping and chittering in agreement.
"Come on child." Biolatte spoke in her sultry tone. "Bring out an opponent I can find enjoyment in."
Dan pulled out his next bakugan. "Alright Ravenoid, it's up to you." He then threw the bakugan. "Bakugan Brawl!" After picking up several pickups, it landed. "Bakugan stand! Let's go, Ravenoid!"
"New bakugan recognized. Pyrus Ravenoid at 500 Gs." The bakupods buzzed.
"Gate Card, Open!" Dan called as the gate opened. "Ravenoid Character Card!" Dan yelled as the bird's power soared.
"Ravenoid power increases to 1000 Gs!" The pods spoke.
"What?!" Biolante cried in shock. "Marduk do something! Quick!"
"Ability Card activate! Kaiju spore!" Marduk said as Biolante started releasing spores that caused Ravenoid's power level to decrease. "And that should even the field."
"Ravenoid power decreases to 600 Gs." The machines noted.
"It's not enough!" Dan grinned. "Ravenoid, finish it!"
Ravenoid flew towards Biolante and clashed with her, sending her back to Marduk, who seemed rather surprised at this. It seemed that the Kaiju weren't so invincible after all.
"Ha! I'm da man!" Dan laughed as the two baby bakugan on his shoulders chirped and chatted in praise and glee.
Marduk pocketed Biolante. "Hmm, impressive, but you won't be so cocky later." He pulled a gate card out and set it on the field before tossing Destroyah again.
"Go Ravenoid!" Dan called as he performed a sphere attack on Destroyah and it's power level went down in response.
"Sphere attack. Destroyah power level at 370 Gs! Ravenoid at 380 Gs!" The machines said.
The bakugan was summoned as Destroyah snarled and shook her head. "You little brat…!"
"Ability Card activate! Brave Fire!" Dan yelled as he tossed a card at Ravenoid as its wings were engulfed in fire.
"Ravenoid power increase of 480 Gs!" The pods buzzed.
"Gate Card Open!" Marduk said as the gate card opened. "Ground Pressure! This gate card forcibly decreases the power level of any bakugan who's level is over four hundred!"
"Ravenoid power decrease to 320Gs!" Both bakupods announced as Ravenoid's ability card was nullified and the bird bakugan was sent crashing to the ground.
"Not good! Not good at all!" Dan muttered as he tried to figure out how to salvage this.
"Too late." Destroyah sneered as she swung her tail down on Ravenoid and defeated it with one blow. Going back to Marduk, who was smiling smugly at his near victory over the leader of the brawlers.
"There's no shame in admitting defeat, Dan. Why don't we call the match off and save what's left of you and your bakugan's dignity?" The Phantom of the Opera masked boy asked.
"You think I'll just roll over for you? No way!" Dan scoffed.
"Alright, your funeral." Marduk shrugged before sending out Destroyah again. Dan took a deep breath and then turned to Drago.
"Okay Drago, I think I gotta plan." He told his partner.
"I'm listening." The Pyrus dragon replied as he listened intently.
"That gate card Destroyah is on, it's a card I borrowed from Shiro called Level Down. Apparently it has the ability to forcibly cut the G power of any bakugan who landed on it first in half once it goes over four hundred, so if we can bait Marduk into making her power go over four hundred…" Dan explained in a hushed voice.
"Then it would leave Destroyah a sitting duck! Good thinking." The dragon bakugan said in realization.
"Let's do this." Dan grinned as he threw Drago onto the battlefield. As the Dragonoid roared to life, Marduk gave an arrogant smirk as he held out a card.
"I'll end this quickly. Ability card activate, Correlation between Ventus and Pyrus!" He said, causing Destroyah to glow green. "This card allows a Ventus bakugan like Destroyah to increase its power level by a hundred Gs against a pyrus bakugan like yours!"
"Destroyah power level increased to 520Gs!" The machines buzzed. Dan looked at it and smirked.
'This is gonna be over and done with sooner than I thought.' He mused internally. He then looked back at Destroyah and grinned.
"What are you grinning at? Even you wouldn't grin at your own defeat." Marduk frowned in confusion.
"I just wanted to thank you for making this easier for me. Gate Card open: Level Down!" He called out as the card in question opened. "Level Down forcibly cuts the power level of any bakugan that entered the field first by half, making them sitting ducks!" The Pyrus brawler explained with a smirk.
Destroyah screeched in pain as she felt the effects leave her. "Destroyah power decrease to 260Gs. Dragonoid power advantage of 380 Gs." All bakupods buzzed.
"Alright! Nice move Dano!" Shiro cheered.
"Ha! So he actually used his head for once in his life!" Runo laughed.
"This should be fun to watch." Marucho grinned as he pushed his glasses back into place.
Drago flew into the air as Destroyah fell to a knee, and then kicked her, then drop-slammed his tail into her head, causing her to crash into the ground and turn back into her orb form before falling at Marduk's feet. Said white and red haired boy growled in aggravation.
"What in the dimensions was that?! That should've been an easy victory for us!" He growled.
"He simply outsmarted you." Monster X told him. "Send me in next, I will put that boy and his overgrown pet lizard in their places."
"Then by all means, do so." Marduk nodded.
Dan picked out his last gate card. "My character card?" Drago asked.
"Yeah, I have a bad feeling that he may have a trick up his sleeve like Dimension Four or something. So I wanna be ready." The boy explained.
"Very well then." Drago nodded as Dan threw in his gate card.
"Bakugan Brawl!" Dan yelled as he threw Drago at the field to get some pickups. Once he had got all that he could, Drago landed on the character card. "Bakugan Stand! Come on out, Drago!" The boy yelled as his partner emerged.
"Pyrus Dragonoid enters battle at a power level of 570Gs." The bakupods buzzed.
"Hmph, you won't leave this arena in victory. Bakugan Brawl!" Marduk scoffed before throwing Monster X onto the battlefield. "Bakugan stand! Arise, Monster X!" He yelled as the Kaiju in question rose up and roared to the air.
Monster X was a giant humanoid dragon with black skin, red eyes, and white bone-like armor all over his body and a large horn on his head similar to Drago, but smaller. Additionally, he also seemed to have a split section around his neck where two pseudo 'heads' rested on his shoulders, and his long, black and whip-like tail was split down into two at the very end. Lastly he seemed to be levitating.
"Darkus-Haos Monster X enters battle at 600Gs, no other data available." Informed the bakupods.
"Okay, looks like we're gonna have to really work for this." Dan muttered as he looked at the information available with a bead of sweat going down his brow.
"That power level is absurd!" Marucho said in shock.
"Just how is Monster X that strong?!" Shun asked in an uncharacteristically shaken tone.
"Be careful, Dan." Runo prayed as she looked at Monster X's G-level with a concerned look on her face.
"Alright Drago, Ability card activate!" Dan yelled as he slammed a card forward.
"Boosted Dragon!" Drago roared as a fireball formed in his mouth and launched it at the floating Kaiju.
"Dragonoid Power increases to 620Gs!" The machine's buzzed. The fireball collided with Monster X, who staggered back from the impact and shook his head to clear it.
"You'll pay for that, worthless lizard!" He growled. "Marduk!"
"Ability card activate! Graviton Shotgun!" Marduk yelled as he activated said card.
"Monster X power increase to 650 Gs!" The machine's buzzed.
"Alright, let's see if I can keep up with this." Dan said to himself as he brought out an ability card. "Fusion Ability activate: Boosted Dragon Melt Flare!"
"Dragonoid Power increase 650Gs!" Buzzed the machines.
"And Gate card open! Dragonoid character card!" Dan yelled.
"Power level double! 1300Gs!" All Bakupods informed.
As the two attacks collided, Marduk glared at Dan before he pulled out a card of his own. "Fusion Ability activate! Doom Aura!" He called.
"Character card boost nullified. Power boost transferred. Monster X power level 1300Gs." Came the buzz from the machines.
"What?! Are you kidding me?!" Dan gaped in alarm.
"Oh no, this won't end well…!" Marucho noted in worry. Drago roared in pain as he felt the power leave him. It felt excruciating, almost as if...
"Painful, isn't it?" Monster X asked with an evil grin. "It should be, this is the power I gained after my last remaining pieces were sent to what you bakugan call the doom dimension. There I bided my time until a portal opened and crafted myself a new body, out of the souls and negative emotions of the bakugan left to rot there. And now you will feel the pain I felt in the process!"
"So that's how he's still alive!" Godzilla growled from Shiro's shoulder as he glared at Monster X with anger.
"Now… DIE!" Monster X roared as he blasted the weakened Drago with his Graviton Shotgun attack, which sent Drago flying to Dan's feet, signaling that Marduk had won. The two baby bakugan were immediately by his side, feeling worried sick about their father.
"I win." Marduk grinned smugly.
Dan slowly picked up Drago. "Drago. Are you alright, pal?" He asked his partner.
"Ngh… I'll live…" Drago groaned, causing his two children to nuzzle him to make him feel better.
Meanwhile with the others, everyone was shocked at what they just saw. Monster X had the ability to use the Doom Dimension's power sapping properties at will? This was bad, really bad.
"This is not good. Being in the Doom Dimension is bad enough, but an enemy with the ability to use its energy at will is even worse. How are we going to plan around this?" Runo asked the group in worry.
"For once, I have absolutely no idea." Marucho said, shaking his head.
Shiro growled as he clenched his fists, his elongated Kaiju claws digging into his skin. 'Marduk, I swear I'll make you pay for what you just did.' He thought angrily.
Elsewhere, Masquerade was watching from a personal observation deck and saw what had just unfolded. "Well then, it seems we may need to bring our new friends Monster X and Marduk to Lord Naga, wouldn't you say so? Hydranoid?" The blonde asked the bakugan on his shoulder.
"Yes. Power like that is definitely worthy of his attention." The Darkus bakugan nodded in agreement.
"Well then, let's extend an invitation, shall we?" The masked brawler said as he started to chuckle, before it escalated into a fit of maniacal laughter.
