'Father! I will not be used as recon for us to take over another planet. It is not right,'
'You will do as King Zenoheld decrees,'
'I shall not! Him nor Prince Hydron are fit to rule Vestal, I shall not follow them! It is not right to doom another planet inhabitants for ours to prosper.'
'You ungrateful child! You shall do as I wish,' then I feel a slap across my cheek
I shoot up and look around me and I see I am in the park… "How did I get here?" I ask myself remembering I made it home last night, after going to Dan's home. I get off the ground, begin to walk home… 'Zenoheld? Hydron? What is going on,' I think to myself. "Dan Kuso!" I hear a voice call, 'Dan? I start to look around and see Dan and a red haired boy facing one another.
"Yeah, what's it to ya," Dan says to the boy. "Names Rikimaru," he says and holds out a Gate Card… 'That's a Doom Card,' I say to myself and I begin to run over to them. "Masquerade sent me," he tells Dan. "Why would you work with someone like Masquerade?" Dan asks… well more of demands. "Why else? Power, now let's brawl," he tells him. Dan nods and takes out his Gate Card. "Dan!" I yell out hopping he hears me.
"Bray?" Dan says turning and looking at me, "What are you doing here?" he asks me. I finally make it to him, "I was walking home from the park... and I heard him call your name," I answer him pointing at the red haired boy. "Cut the romance!" Rikimaru yells out, "I am looking for a brawl! Not your date!"
"This is my Brawl, if you wanna watch you can," Dan tells me and I nod grabbing his arm. "Field Open!" they both yell out.
Field Open
"Now let's do this," Rikimaru says throwing the Doom Card to the field, "Doom Card… set!" As I glare at him.
Doom Card Set
"It's fine Bray," Dan says looking at me, "I'll take him out, and make him regret working for that scum," he declares to me and I nod. Believing that he will beat Rikimaru. "You need to let go of my arm for me to do that though," he tells me and I see I am still holding onto him. I let go and look the other way feeling my cheeks heat up.
"Gate Card… set!" they both yell out throwing them onto the field

He look at me confused, "What's wrong Bray?" he asks me. I look at the field, "Aquos Bakugan, specifically Aquos Siege has an ability that-" I get interrupted. "You must be the smart on in this relationship… that's cute," Rikimaru laughs out as I glare at him, "Bakugan Brawl!"
"Aquos Siege… Stand!" he declares and my eyes widen. 'Tsunami Wave… this isn't going to- Wait it'll send his Bakugan to the Doom Dimension too."
Rikimaru's Aquos Siege lands on his Second Gate Card
Aquos Siege: 360 Gs
He gets ready to throw his Bakugan… so I yell out, "If you use that card… it'll send both your Juggernoid and Robotallion to the Doom Dimension along with Dan's Bakugan," I tell him and he smiles. "They are just game pieces, you have to sacrifice a few pawns to become stronger, Ability Activate! Tsunami Wave!" he says.

"This is what you do for power?" I demand, "You are worse then scum."

'How did he know?' I ask myself as Siege gets sent back to Rikimaru by a fireball from Drago. The field vanishes and the world returns to normal. "How did you release your Bakugan from its ability?" Rikimaru asks and no one answers, he leaves shortly after.
"Drago what was that!" Dan yells and I look back at him. "Dan, you would-" I start, "Stay out of this Braylon," he snaps at me. "If I done what you wanted… I would be in the Doom Dimension," Drago says. 'What the hell is going on?' I ask myself and see Dan throw Drago over the bridge, "What the hell is wrong with you!" I yell, "you know what! I'll handle Masquerade and Naga on my own. Stay out of my way!" I yell at him before stomping away.
"Who needs them," I hear Dan say… 'Screw you.' I think and head straight for my home.
"Who does he think he is? He would've lost if Drago didn't do what he did," I say to myself… when I get home it's dark… that is when I realize Drago is still left in the water. I turn back and start walking to the bridge…
"I have been watching you!" I hear a voice say and I start to look around. Not seeing anyone, "Whose here?" I ask and get no answer, I stop and decide it is safer to head home and get Drago tomorrow. I turn back around, "Braylon Fermin," the voice says again. 'Why the hell does everyone know my name?' I ask myself and turn around again.
That is when I see a Haos Bakugan sitting on a lamp post, "Are you talking to me?" I ask it. "Who else is named Braylon Fermin?" it asks which is fair. I walk towards it, "Are you here to help me save Vestroia?" I ask him and he makes a grunting noise, "I do not care! I want to become stronger and beat other Bakugan," he declares.
"Why do you not care about your home world?" I almost spit out, "Shouldn't you care what happens to your home?" I ask him. He flies down to me, "I was created when a man named Hal-G tried to replicate the Silent Core," he tells me and my eyes widen.
"Why would he- for Naga," I answer my own question I was about to ask. "If I assist you in your endeavors will you assist me in mine?" he asks me and I think. 'I will not be like Rikimaru,' I tell myself.
"I will not sacrifice my other Bakugan for you to become stronger. If you want me to help you… know that I will not let my other Bakugan perish for you to prosper," I say to him and then I remember my dream, 'It is not right to doom another planet inhabitants for ours to prosper.'
"I shall agree to your terms," he tells me and I open my hand, "My name is Haos Leonidas." I nod and start to head home, 'I will take down them all,' I promise myself.
