Chapter 32: Battle for Earth pt 4

(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 siege, 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)

-Wardington shipping district-

Workers let out terrified screams as King Caesar stomped toward the district, letting out a roar as he did. Every human was scrambling for safety, all except Christopher–a friend of Alice's–who was moving to stop him in spite of everyone telling him he's going the wrong way.

"Pathetic creatures!" The Kaiju roared as he kept moving.

"Hey!" Christopher called, getting his attention.

"Is this a joke? The adults run in fear yet a child is brave enough to fight me?" Caesar asked, almost amused.

"Say that again when I stop you!" The boy shot back as Alice ran up next to him.

"Christopher? What're you doing here?" The ginger questioned as she ran up to him.

"Alice! Oh thank goodness, I was worried when you disappeared and I couldn't find you at the Bakugan Store." Christopher sighed in relief.

"It's all hands on deck for this, so I'll be fighting Naga's Kaiju on the front lines." The gingerette replied.

"Yeah! Nobody who's able to fight is sitting this one out!" Nillious exclaimed.

"We will crush you." One of Hydranoid's heads nodded.

"For good!" Another added.

"Yeah! You tell 'em, boys!" Rabeeder said, still in ball form like the others.

"Hmph, this will be a mere trifle." Ichi huffed, causing Christopher to look at him on Alice's shoulder next to Rabeeder.

"Um, wasn't Ghidorah a villain?" The child asked with minor nervousness.

"Not anymore, kid. This world is pretty much our home, now, and we won't let it get destroyed." Ni told him.

"Insolent little snake! I'll destroy you myself!" Caesar roared.

"Bring it on! Let's go, guys!" San exclaimed.

"Yeah! Let's do this!" Chrisopher's Juggernoid exclaimed in agreement.

"Bakugan Brawl!" The two Brawlers yelled as they threw their partners in. "Juggernoid/Hydranoid, Nillious, Ghidorah, Rabeeder, stand!" They added as the creatures took to battle.

"You ready to do this, guys?" Juggernoid exclaimed.

"Yes, let's do this." Hydranoid nodded.

"Yeah!" Nillious exclaimed.

"Hmph." Ghidorah grunted.

"Let's cave his skull in!" Rabeeder exclaimed, pounding the right hand of her lower half into the left one.

"You treacherous bitch! How dare you turn your back on Lord Naga?!" Caesar roared angrily, to which the half human Bakugan female scoffed.

"Cry me a river, idiot! Naga threw me and my poor little sister Tricloid out like we were trash! So I got nothing for him! No-thing!" She retorted sassily, large and little hands on her hips.

"Let's do this! Ability Card Activate! Depth Tornado!" Christopher called as he held up his card, allowing Juggernoid to start spinning rapidly in his shell, creating a giant water tornado and bashing into Caesar's head-on.

"Agh!" The Kaiju grunted as he staggered back.

"How's this feel?!" Rabeeder shouted as she fired two Haos beams from her giant hands at the enemy Kaiju, stunning him further.

"Ability Activate! Frenzy of Destruction!" Alice called as Hydranoid shot out his tethers and tied the canine Kaiju down.

"Unhand me, you unruly beast!" Caesar roared as he struggled against the bonds–before Hydranoid blasted him with three orbs of Dark energy.

"Now, Ability Activate! Chimera Shade and Gravity Trident!" The girl continued as Caesar struggled to get up.

Ghidorah then fired his Gravity beams at the Kaiju and allowed Nillious to rush him and bash with a Darkus ram onto Christopher's Gate Card.

"Now, Gate Card open!" The boy called as the card opened. "Power Activation!" He added, causing Juggernoid's power level to spike as he roared.

"Now, Darkus Spice!" Alice called as a card circled Caesar and surrounded him in Darkus energy.

"Gah, this smells putrid!" The dog growled. "Third Spire!" He yelled as he shot a Haos energy beam from the Open Eye gem on his forehead, which he aimed at Hydranoid.

"Oh no you don't! Diamond Reflect!" Rabeeder exclaimed as she got between the attack and her ally before coating herself in Diamond and sending it back at him… only for his reflective eyes to absorb the attack and send it at Nillious instead!

"Gah!" The Kaiju-Bakugan hybrid roared as he was blown backwards.

"Oh no! Nillious!" Alice gasped.

"You'll pay for that! Super Shard!" Christopher called as Juggernoid fired Aquos crystals at Caesar.

"Tch." The Kaiju scoffed as he braced himself, and was obscured from sight moments later as the attack hit.. "Diamond Reflect." He said as the clouds cleared, showing that he copied Rabeeder's ability!

"He's copying us!" Ni exclaimed in frustration.

"His powers are reflection based, so I'm not surprised that he'd do that." Ichi scowled as his tails rattled, still towering over Caesar considerably.

"This can't be good." Christopher exclaimed.

"We need a way to catch him off guard. Any ideas?" Hydranoid asked the group.

"Peekaboo." Caesar chuckled as he suddenly appeared beside Hydranoid, and slammed into him, causing him to get sent crashing into Nillious–before delivering a solid punch to Juggernoid, causing him to crash into a wall. The act left a sizable dent.

"Oh no! Juggernoid!" Christopher gasped as everyone jumped back.

"Gate Card Open!" Alice called as Ghidorah took her two Guardians' places.

"Now you face us!" Ichi growled, wings unfurled in an intimidating display as darkness surrounded them.

"Hmph." Caesar growled as he shook himself. "Darkus Destroyer!" He howled as light radiated from his fur and scales, destroying the gate card and causing Ghidorah's Darkus powers to fail, but luckily his Haos powers kept him from being too weakened.

"Ngh. Okay, that stings." San remarked with a hiss as he and his brothers felt their strength get diminished.

"Why you! I got him!" Rabeeder exclaimed with a growl, blasting forward.

"No, Rabeeder, wait!" Alice called, trying to warn her.

"Petrification!" The Haos-Subterra Bakugan yelled as she fired three beams at the canine Subterra-Haos Kaijugan… which he reflected back at them–hitting Hydranoid, Nillious and Ghidorah!

"Oh no!" Alice gasped in alarm as the three afflicted targets began turning into statues.

"Oh crap!" Rabeeder gasped, realizing what she'd just done.

"I gotta save Juggernoid from that before he gets hit, but how?!" Christopher asked himself.

"Use Dive Mirage!" A voice called in the distance.

"That's it! Ability Card Activate! Dive Mirage!" The boy called, allowing his Juggernoid to vanish in a splash of water mere moments before the beam could hit him while Rabeeder dodged via flying. He then realized something. "Wait, who said that, anyway?" He wondered.

"I did." The voice said again as the two turned towards none other than Klaus von Hertzan who was leaning against a nearby wall.

"Who dares disturb my battle?!" Caesar snarled as Ghidorah, Hydranoid and Nillious continued to turn to stone.

"I am Klaus von Hertzan, and I refuse to allow you to rampage through this city." The young man replied as he walked up to Alice and Christopher. "I was going to fight you one day, Alice, but I think that's going to have to wait given the circumstances." He told her.

"Thank you, Klaus." Alice smiled. .Rabeeder regarded Klaus for a moment before shrugging.

"You're certainly cute, but not as cute as Shiro." She remarked. "No offense." She added.

"None taken." The Aquos gentleman replied with a nod.

"Wait, Klaus von Hertzan? As in the highest ranked Aquos Brawler after Marucho?! Somebody pinch me!" Christopher gasped gleefully

"Yes. And I take it from your knowledge that you're an Aquos Brawler too." He nodded. "Now, allow me to show you how to engage in a proper Aquos battle." He added before taking out a card. "You see, it's all in the wrist!" He exclaimed as he threw down a card.

"You do not scare me, human. I'll squash you like an insignificant bug." The canine growled as he stomped the ground. "Subterra Tremor!" He howled as the ground began to shake with the force of his howls.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Klaus said as Juggernoid reappeared and shielded his petrified friends from the attack. "You better look down." He added.

"What?!" Caesar roared as a wind chime ring and a water ripple effect preceded Sirenoid as she came out from the gate card and started dragging the canid Kaiju down into the depths. "Release me this instant!" The dog-like Kaiju roared as he was dragged deeper into the water with Juggernoid, Christopher and Klaus following.

"I'll drown!" The younger boy exclaimed as he covered his mouth.

"Don't worry. This is all just an illusion generated by the ability." The gentleman assured him.

"Oh! It's like I can breathe under water!" The boy gasped.

"I'm gonna go after them, you three hang in there!" Rabeeder exclaimed as she dove in.

"Not like we have much choice!" The three barked back.

Back with the others, Juggernoid and Sirenoid were bashing King Caesar around in the watery depths of the deep sea dive ability, causing the lupine Kaiju to growl angrily.

"Damn it! I only have Subterra and Haos abilities, I can't handle this thrashing!" He gasped from the impacts.

"Bringing an opponent into a situation that is advantageous for oneself is a common sense tactic." Klaus said. "Now, Gate Card Open! Aqua Merge!" He added as his card opened and Caesar's yellow areas started to turn blue.

"You little mongrel! How dare you do this to me!" King Caesar roared angrily as his Haos power vanished, leaving him with Subterra power only. And given the conditions he was in, he would be hard pressed to turn this around unless he thought of something fast.

"Oh quit your whining!" Rabeeder yelled, her own Haos abilities being traded for Aquos. "I've had just about enough of this stray dog routine! Terra Crunch!" She yelled as she glowed orange and started attacking Caesar with her giant claws.

"GAH! YOU BI– AAAAGGH!" The enemy Kaiju roared in pain. When he found a break in Rabeeder's attack chain, he shoved her away and channeled his Subterra power. "Canyon Fissure!" He intoned, as stone raised them up and everyone was suddenly back on dry land. "Oh lovely, my fur is ruined." He said flatly, looking at his fur coat.

"That won't matter when we're done with you!" Klaus countered.

"Wave Blast!" Sirenoid yelled as she sent a blast of water at Caesar, sending him backwards.

"And now my turn!" Christopher chimed in.

"Depth Tornado!" Juggernoid exclaimed as he spun and slammed into Caesar again.

"Let's see you copy this!" Rabeeder cried out before she started multiplying, and soon, there were eighteen clones of her. "Try me now, you stupid mutt!" The half human Bakugan snarled, still feeling a desire for revenge for what Naga did to her and Tricloid.

"Hmph. Fine, then." King Caesar smirked. "Desert Mirage!" He yelled before he created eighteen versions of himself to match Rabeeder's own. Alice, meanwhile, had an idea and brought out a card.

"Ability Card activate! Trident of Doom!" She called out, and Hydranoid fired out three energy orbs… But all three missed their marks, which caused the Kaiju and his duplicates to laugh.

"So close, yet so far!" They all laughed as Hydranoid, Nillious and Ghidorah all turned into statues. "Ha! You couldn't hit fish in a barrel!" He barked in laughter.

Boy, would those words bite King Caesar in the ass.

When the three energy blasts Hydranoid fired reached their peaks, they each split into six, eighteen total, and targeted the Kaiju and his mini army, taking him by surprise before he cried out as he found himself on the ground looking worse for wear. This also had the bonus of Hydranoid, Nillious and Ghidorah being set free.

"Finally!" Ghidorah sighed as he stretched his wings. "Now." The beast started as his body cracked in gold and storm clouds gathered overhead–causing the winds to start blowing really hard.

"It's my turn." His other two heads added.

"Here it comes…!" Alice grinned as she, Christopher and Klaus watched, clutching onto their Bakugan for dear life as the wind became hurricane level.

"Kaiju Mega Storm!" The three headed terror bellowed over as he spread his wings and lightning shot out of them into the storm and gathered at its eye–before it struck down on Caesar with the same amount of power as Sasuke Uchiha's Kirin jutsu… Multiplied to Kaiju levels.

After that, the wind let up and there wasn't anything left of the canine-like Kaiju.

"... That was…" The younger boy tried to say, but his shock couldn't help him find the words to describe the display of power he just witnessed.

Ghidorah then let out a sigh as he flew atop the tallest building, before stretching his wings out and letting out an Alpha call-like roar that echoed for miles around. The message was clear…

Naga's defeat is inevitable.

(Elsewhere)

Back with the others, Kaido had just informed the others that Hedora, Gorogumo and Kamakuras were heading their way towards Wardington.

"I'll go and stop Hedora." Shun said before turning to Hairadee, Mothra and Rodan. "You three up for helping me take out the trash?" He questioned.

"You know it! Let's go!" Hairidee exclaimed, eager to pay Naga back for discarding him and the others.

"Of course." Mothra nodded.

"This'll be easy." Rodan added.

"Let's do this, Shun." Skyress nodded.

"Guess that leaves us to deal with Gorogumo and Kamakuras." Shiro nodded as he turned to Runo, Battra, Tigrerra, Druman and Centorior. "You guys ready?" He asked.

"You bet!" Runo nodded with a smile. The other's gave varying replies of agreement.

"Alright, let's go!" The hybrid exclaimed. But before they set out to stop the encroaching Kaiju, Shiro turned to Dan. "Dan, take Junior with you." He told his friend, tossing him the Kaiju.

"Good idea, in case Naga tries anything sneaky." The brown haired boy nodded as they left.

It was then that they heard Ghidorah's alpha call, which shook the tower a bit, right as Tommy called in.

"Hey guys! I'm just about a minute out from Wardington tower! My Daikaiju and I can help keep Waivern safe if you need backup!" The formerly masked boy offered.

"That'd be appreciated, Tommy. Thanks." Dan nodded. "Just get here as fast as possible."

"You got it!" Tommy nodded as he hung up.

It wouldn't be long now…

Dragon Emperor0: And that's part 4 down. That leaves the last parts in this "Battle for Earth" arc, parts 5 and 6 for the next two chapters. Which will then transition into the two part story finale: "The Brawl of Fate" parts 1&2. The cu de gras of the entire story.

ThermalsniperN7: The title is supposed to indicate that this brawl will be what makes or brakes Gaia in the end. The climax of the whole thing is getting closer.

Dragon Emperor0: And on top of that, we're thinking of pulling something straight out of Greek Mythology for when Drago becomes Infinity Dragonoid. I won't say what because it'll spoil the twist.

ThermalsniperN7: But we think you guys'll like it. Anyway, see you all next time!
