Blake pow:

"We do know who Weiss is, but what about the other guy?" Ravenoid asked, as our trio jumpder forward onto another rooftop and examined the confusing trio.

"The guy seems to be Shun, before we attacked Beacon, I primarly know him for emotionless fighting style and raveging White Fang bases in Vacuo. He did it so good that we had to abandin this kingdom two months after you left." Adam responded, not leaving his eyes from the duo which now looked around for us.

"They have the relic and surely can fight with us over it." I said, finally noticing that the two have noticed us. "Assuming that they did watch me recently we can go out and talk to them."

"It's worth the shot, mistress." Ravenoid responded first, while Adam only nodded.


Narrator pow:

"Ability Card activate! Spiced Assault!" Tyrian shouted upon card activation, making his Stinglash proceed to have a flash in his eyes and rush forward in a battle-ready stance.

Tuskor - 400g = 200g

Stinglash - 350g = 550g

"Really now?" Maken asked him joyously. "I think I'll show you a thing or two... Ability card activate, Ring Of Flames!" He shouted as the gauntlet cocked itself up, causing Tuskor to stand still as the flames formed a circle around him, blocking Stinglash's pincers.

Stinglash- 550g = 350g

"You know it won't work, right?" Salem asked her opponent, somewhat amused by the situation.

"Not alone, bossy girl." Maken smiled as he drew out a second card and placed in inside his gauntlet. "Fusion ability activate! Flamethrower Radiant!" He added as Tuskor proceeded to take a deep breath and spread out the flames from his trunk towards Stinglash, effectively pushing him away all the way back to the edge of the battlefield.

Stinglash - 350g = 50g

"I can already see where this is going." Cinder said, now without her smug face. "But since you're so persistant... I guess you deserve a gallant lose." She continued as she took out a small, red marble and threw it into the battle. "Pyrus Fear Ripper, stand." She added as a hhmanoidal creature with elongated claws joined the battle and covered Stinglash from the second round of incoming flames.

Cinder - 100%, Tyrian - 100%

Fear Ripper - 400g, Stinglash - 50g

"Not running away? That's new." Maken said, hiding his suprise.

"Oh, that's not all!" Tyrian laughed before pointing towards the ground. "Gate card open! Silent Land!" He shouted, activating the effect of the card and freezing Tuskor in place.

"Not a Character you say?" Maken asked himself, fully aware of the situation around him.

"And that's not all, bakugan brawl!" Mylene added on the contrary, finally joining the battle at the nod from Cinder. "Aquos Juggernoid stand!" She shouted as the big blue tortoise joined the battle with a screech.

Cinder - 100%, Tyrian - 100%, Mylene - 100%

Fear Ripper - 400g, Stinglash - 50g, Juggernoid - 300g

"Welp, now or never." Maken sighed, preparing his other bakugan for a throw. "About time your lackies showed some coehesion, Salem..."


Adam pow:

"Why did you stay around this terrorist? Why are you defending him?" Weiss asked, as our group faced hers in a middle of an empty street, resulting in a suspensed standoff which didn't helped my group in any way.

"Because he actually changed!" Blake shouted back, making them both gritt their teeth.

"How about we talk this out?" I asked the second person, who already presented himself as Shun.

"Sure, especially since they're still young... They'll figure it out." He responded, making me let out a sigh as we took few steps back from bickering girls just in case.

"So, where do we begin?" I asked Shun, since that's what I was supposed to do.

"What do you want with the relic?" Boy asked quickly, sending me a serious glare.

"Keep it away from Salem. But to be honest Maken never told me anything so I'm left guessing." I responded, making him look rather amused.

"And you?" He asked again, now making me feel conflicted.

"Nothing. I'm not into mystical stuff and the only reason I'm after them are the orders." I answered, making him crunch his face as if he bite a rock. "I mean, Maken and Blake did gave me a second chance and layed down an other way of solving the Human versus Faunus issue, so I need to give something in return, right?"

"The other way, you say?" Shun asked again, now visibly intrested. "Tell more and then I decide, unless something important is left unanswered."


Narrator pow:

"Hyah! Go out Pyrus Robotallion!" Maken shouted as he threw his backup option onto the field, where it transformed into a humanoidal robot with armor and multiple holes across his body. Afterwards he jumped in top of a Tuskor and took a powerful battle stance.

Robotallion - 600g, Tuskor - 200g

"Six hundered!? How?" Shadow asked out loud, verbalizing the effectvthis enyreamce had on the rest of the group.

"Foolish, foolish brawlers you are." Maken smiled, taking out two ability cards from his disposal. "While you were making your own moves and boasts, I just activate Robotallion Enforcement ability card!" He shouted with pride at the group of enemies, which mostly just shrugged his announcement off. "But that's not all! Ability card activate, Ability Burner!" He added, throwing his card past all bakugans instead of just putting it inside his gauntlet.

"Is that all-!" Mercury smiled, but was cut short as he heard a terrifying scream from Cinder, who now desperately tried to hold her left arm, the latter burning to ashes as the card dug deep inside of it and ignited.

"Now that I got you distracted..." Maken said in his own, pointing towards Robotallion dunking each opposing bakugan one after another back into ball forms. "... I offer you last chance to surrender to me with full respect given." He added, catching returning Robotallion, Tuskor and captured Stinglash.

Cinder - 100% = 60%, Tyrian - 100% = 0%, Mylene - 100% = 40%

"Funny that you said that." Mylene scoffed, then the look at Cinder. "Any orders?" She asked her with reserve.

"Arghhh..." Cinder growled, as she got used to having only her right arm. "Finish him... Or never come back." She said before walking away while gritting her teeth.

"Okay baddies, show me what you got." Maken smiled as he threw his gate card onto the field. "I'll go with Serpenoid so you get a chance to-!"

"Didn't you thought that you're just cocky?" Hazel asked him with sorrow but serious tone, throwing him off balance.

"Covkyness that isn't punished can't be a flaw." Maken smiled before switching his bakugan to Pyrus Gargonoid and throwing him onto the field. "Now then, give me all you got!"

"Very well." Mercury smiled as he, Mylene and Shadow three their bakugans into the battle. "I promise you we'll make you pay!"

Maken - 100%

Gargonoid - 350g

Mercury - 30%, Mylene - 40%, Shadow - 60%

Siege - 300g, Juggernoid - 300g, Warius - 350g


Blake pow:

"Wait, if that's the case then... Why Maken wanted us all to go for the relic?" I asked as me, Adam, Weiss and Shun finally came to the conclusion after a tiresome argue.

"we'll have to encounter him after we all gang up together." Shun responded first, cutting Weiss before she said anything.

"Agreed, we need to join with the others fast." Ravenoid added as Adam and me took out our scrolls and starter calling everyone else. The situation have just started to get dire in a way no one expected.


Narrator pow:

"Triple nod? You guys are not worth the effort!" Maken laughed as he prepared two ability cards for his move. "Double ability activate! Meteor Strike plus Frame Fire!" He shouted, locking both cards inside the gauntlet and allowing his Gargonoid to unleash the rocky barrage from the sky.

Gargonoid - 150g = 350g

Siege - 500g = 300g, Juggernoid - 500g = 300g, Warius - 350g = 150g

"Nananana! I don't care!" Shadow taunted him before taking a card on his own. "Ability activate! Spiced Assault!" He added as his Warius knocked the meteores on his way back at the giant bat and rushed forward amongst black mist.

Gargonoid - 350g = 150g

Warius - 150g = 350g

"Gate card open! Changed Link Force!" Maken reacted early, opening his gate card and sending Warius straight bact at his allies with a forced push from the gate card.

Gargonoid - 150g = 350g

Siege - 300g = 100g, Juggernoid - 300g = 100g, Warius - 350g = 150g

"Huh? How come!?" Shadow scowled, clenching down as the impending doom became obvious.

Mercury - 30% = 0%, Mylene - 40% = 0%, Shadow - 60% = 20%

"Funny, you caused the most damage to your group and still are standing." Maken said without hesitance as Gargonoid returned to his hand. "I do wonder why Salem haven't put you under the chopping block tho."

"You know, maybe because Runo and Watts didn't do a thing so far for this Cinder's plan that didn't existed to begin with? Who knows?" Maken continued, not changing his direction of contact.

"That was because I waited for a friend to repay me a favor." Runo responded as she came to the group alongside a boy in red pants and jacked supported by a yellow T-shirt and a messy brown hair under a pair if green googles. "But since you're so thirsty for that real challenge of yours, I will introduce you to someone..." She paused for a moment to make the new participant visible for everyone.

"Maken, meet... Dan."
