Disclaimer: I don't own Bakugan


It was well past midnight, and in Judai's house all three kids were asleep. However Alice was tossing and turning in her bed, sweat poured down her forehead.

'Mommy that hurt!' a young girl's voice called out in Alice's head, the red head began to hyperventilate as she was recalling the events of when she lived with her mother.


(dream)

A younger Alice hit the floor, while holding her face. Her mom had just slapped her. Alisa's eyes were narrow at her. "I told you never to talk about them." Alisa said.

"But momma, I just want to see Wolf and grandfather. I haven't seen them since daddy died." Young Alice said with tears in her eyes.

"Ali, they are no longer our family." Alisa said in anger. "Forget about them, it's just you and me now, go to your room and I'll make dinner."

Young Alice cried confused and scared, wondering why her mother would hit her and would not want her to see Wolf and her grandfather.

Alisa then tenderly held Alice by her chin and forcefully kissed her, shocking and startling Alice who began resisting her.

"M-Mom!" Alice whimpered into the kiss as she finally pulled away. "Why are you doing this mom?"

Alisa didn't answer as she started to lick her daughter's neck causing Alice to shiver in fear while Alisa moved her fingers over her core and began fingering her.


Alice eventually woke up from her nightmare panting and sweating, she hugged herself tightly as she began to shake. 'It was just a nightmare.' Alice thought to herself, it been at least 2 days since her mother had returned and for those days Alice refused to leave the house unless Judai or Wolf and her friends were with her, in fear of her mother jumping her, and now she being haunted by her past when her mother had assaulted her when she was younger.

She was also thinking about what her mother had told her, not to trust Wolf. she still wondered what she meant, has her whole family been lying to her all her life? She had asked her aunt and she told her the same thing about her father dying in the car crash.

Alice shook her head. 'She is trying to tear me and Wolf apart, I can't trust her.' she thought, but her heart said otherwise, telling her to look further into her father's supposed death. She then sighed and decided she would worry about that in the morning before she fell back to sleep hoping she would not have another nightmare.


The next day, Judai made breakfast since Alice had been having a horrible week. She had been constantly on guard since Alisa came back into her life. Judai placed eggs and sausage in front of her and Eva.

"You ok Alice?" Judai asked.

"No I haven't." Alice said. "Ever since my mother returned, I've been having nightmares."

Eva placed a hand on Alice's shoulder. "It's ok Alice, she can't hurt you. All of us and Your brother Wolf are here for you."

"You can't keep hiding in this house." Nillious said. "You need to go out sooner or later."

"And risk her assaulting me again?" Alice said. "No, until she leaves I'm not leaving here without you all with me."

"Alice, how do you know she'll leave?" Judai questioned. "One of her companies is based here so she won't be leaving anytime soon."

"He's right and besides, your mother would probably prefer to assault you in private or when you're alone." Nillious added

Alice began to shake, before running upstairs.

"Real smooth Nillious." Eva said in a disappointed tone.

"What? She's a famous public figure, I don't think she'll want to ruin her reputation and company by assaulting her own daughter in broad daylight." Nillious asked

"Nillious, Alisa's company is one of most influential companies in the world, even more than Marucho's Family." Judai said. "Which means she can make news and evidence disappear before the deed is done, so Alisa has no fear of losing reputation."

Nillious began to get worried and now understood the danger and problem they were in. "Oh shit really?" Nillious asked.

"Yeah, and you're telling Alice that stuff wasn't good, cause she knows what her mother is capable of." Eva added.

"I'm sorry." Nillious apologized.


Later during dinner, the three children were eating steamed rice and grilled fish for dinner.

"So Alice, are you feeling better?" Judai asked.

Alice, who was eating her rice, didn't answer as she was still shaken up.

"Judai, maybe it's best if we drop it for now and enjoy dinner." Eva suggested.

"Okay." Judai said as he continued eating dinner.


It was sunrise on an unfinished skyscraper-like building and on the top was a Bakugan called Aquos Preyas.

"Woah." Preyas said, liking the view. "A penthouse with a nice view, too bad the commute is a real killer."

A bird then flew up and Preyas decided to hop on its back, hitching a ride on the bird. "Hello Taxi, to the flower bed below and step on it." Preyas said as the bird flew further up into the air.


Meanwhile in Judai's house, both Dan and Runo were visiting and were in Judai's room and Runo was on Judai's computer while both Judai and Dan were reading a magazine.

"Yeah, they're certainly taking their time." Runo said, talking to Julie on the screen. "But after 6 months of construction and 2 months of coffee break we still don't know what it is." Runo said, annoyed. "What in the world could take so long to build?" Runo asked herself. "A government office?" she said sarcastically

"Maybe a dance studio?" Alice said she had recovered a little bit enough to talk to her friends.

"Oh maybe a fitness center or a spa?" Julie said.

"I think you all are building something out of nothing." Dan spoke up.

"I agree, something like this shouldn't really bother you all that much." Judai added.

"It does bother me." Runo remarked, turning to them. "An oversized mall or a coffee shop could have a disastrous effect on my parents' restaurant." Runo then activated her bakupad and began to calculate. "Which, according to my market research."

"Market Research?" Dan said with a smile. "You barely have customers, let alone a market."

"It's true, besides us, you barely have any customers at all." Judai added, Julie and Alice gasped while Eva who was sitting near Buster just facepalmed herself all knowing where this was going..

"Oh you!" Runo grumbled before she yelled. "Ahhh!"

Drago, Nillious, Leonidas and Tigrerra all opened up in response while Eenoch didn't.

"Dan just let this one go." Drago said.

"You as well Judai." Nillious said.

"This is one battle neither of you won't win." Tigrerra said

"Well it would be fun to watch at least." Leonidas said much to the other Bakugan's dismay

"Why you freeloading ungrateful bastards!" Runo said in rage.

"Uh, it was just a joke, right Dan." Judai said.

"Uh, yeah. Don't freeze us out of the snack package, we're your best customers," Dan stated but Runo just glared at them.

Suddenly Marucho appeared on the computer screen, next to Julie. "Hey guys I just solved the skyscraper mystery." gaining everyone's attention. Marucho coughed before speaking. "Turns out it's my brand new house."

A few seconds passed before everyone's anime fell.

"Yeah I know I was shocked as well when my parents told me where we were moving, I kept it a secret so I could tell you in person and see the looks on your faces. So we're throwing a party and you're all invited." Marucho said


Meanwhile in a forest, up in a tree in a bird's nest, Preyas woke up and opened up and while stretching in ball form, all the eggs in the nest started hatching much to his shock.

"Oh no." Preyas said, startled.

One by one the new born birds hatched totaling 5 chicks in all and they were chirping loudly.

"Silence, silence." Preyas asked. "Evil 5-headed monster."

The baby birds started to come closer to Preyas and lifted him into the air and pushed out of the nest and started bouncing down the hill before landing at a passing by truck filled with a bouquet of flowers, landing in one of the flower bouquets.

The truck then continued its way to the city.


(Marucho's house)

"Wow this is Marucho's house?" Judai asked.

"Wicked, when he said that he was full of it, I didn't realize he meant cash." Runo said.

"I'm surprised you didn't know." Eva said.

"It must be awesome to have so much money with the parties, the cars, the computers and the clothes, the clothes." Runo said as she continued much to both Dan's and Judai's annoyance

"I agree with you on the clothes, also new shoes." Alice added.

"And the Jewelry." Eva smiled. "I could also buy a Komodo Dragon."

"Yeah and the lineups to get into those parties." Judai asked. "While the food and the computers sounded enticing, no thanks." Judai said until he spotted someone familiar in the line. "Hey Dan." Judai said, getting his attention. "Isn't that your mother on the line?" Judai asked.

"Oh this is so not good." Dan said.

Just then Marucho walked up to them. "Hey everyone, I'm glad you could make it." Marucho said.

"Oh hey, Marucho." Dan greeted me.

"It's nice to see you in person." Judai said.

"What's poppin?" Runo asked.

"Hey Marucho." Alice said.

"How ya doin Marucho?" Eva asked.

"It's great to finally meet you all." Marucho said with a bow. "Like the new clothes?"

"Yeah they kinda look like the ones you always wear, but you look good." Runo said.

"Marucho." a voice said from behind as a brunette man and a blonde woman walking towards them, these two were Marucho parents Kyosuke and Shouko. "So these are your cyber friends. It's nice to meet you."

"We are Marucho's parents, my name is Shouko." Shouko said. "And my loving husband Kyosuke."

"Oh my name is Dan and welcome to the hood." Dan said with him and other's bowing. "These are my friends, Runo, Alice, Judai and Eva."

"It's nice to meet you,'' they all said.

Shouko looked at Alice. "Excuse me not to be rude, but you look familiar."

"Huh?" Alice uttered in confusion.

"You're right Shouko, Young Alice does look familiar." Kyosuke said they both knew she looked like someone they've seen before but they couldn't put their fingers on it.

"Kyosuke, and Shouko." a familiar voice called out making Alice freeze in fear, everyone turned to see Alisa in a nice formal dress along with Juri.

"Oh Alisa, it's great that you made it." Kyosuke greeted. "You too Juri."

"Why thank you Mr. Kyosuke." Juri bowed.

"Oh, we wouldn't have missed it for the world." Alisa smiled before turning to Alice. "I see you met my lovely daughter."

"Daughter?" Shouko said before turning to Alice. "Oh, that's why she looked familiar, she's beautiful Alisa."

"She gets it from my side." Alisa said with pride.

"Hmm, dad do you mind if I show them around the mansion, I'll do a primary security check?" Marucho asked.

"Sure, knock yourself out, while me and your mother greet the guests." Kyosuke said.

The kids wasted no time before they walked towards the entrance while Alice kept her sight on Alisa who just smirked at her, before they entered the building.

"We never knew you had a daughter Alisa." Shouko said.

"This is our first reunion in a few years." Alisa smirked while watching Alice leave.

"Then we wish you both well on getting reconnected." Kyosuke said before he and Shouko left to greet the guests.


"Now this is the entrance to the mansion." Marucho said as the entrance opened up and everyone went inside.

The inside of the mansion was very nice and roomy. With the guests wandering around and chatting with each other

"The place is so huge, we're talking about major bling here." Runo said.

"Our whole house could fit in here." Eva said in amazement.

"Yeah, this is pretty huge." Judai said in awe

"Are you enjoying the sight?" a familiar voice called, they turned to see Wolf in a nice suit with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Brother." Alice said as she hugged Wolf, causing him to nearly spill his drink.

"Jeez, Ali you almost made me spill wine on my suit." Wolf complained. "Is something wrong?"

"She's here, Wolf." Alice said. "We ran into her outside."

Wolf sighed, ever since his mother arrived things have not been good for Alice, lately he had been spending most of his time watching over her, he knew his mother's resources and what she was capable of doing. "It's ok Alice, just ignore her and go with your friends. I'll keep her in my sights."

"Thanks brother." Alice said, now feeling safe that Wolf was here.

As the group walked by the flower bouquets, Preyas popped out of one of them. "Ha, time for Operation Stealth Spy." Preyas told himself before slipping and falling before being kicked forward by a passing by guest, Preyas was than kicked back and forth by the guests as they walked around the room


(Hallway)

"So why did you move to this neighborhood Marucho?" Judai asked

"Since I'm one of the brawlers, I thought I should meet you all in person." Marucho answered. "So when I told dad about it he suggested to move closer."

"You serious?" Dan asked.

"You even had this building made." Runo added

"I wanted to surprise all of you so I kept quiet about it the whole time." Marucho said.

"I don't think I'll ever understand rich people." Dan said.

"I agree." Judai added

Dan ran up to a door and was amazed at the size of the room. "Woah, nice so this is your room."

"No, Dan my room is down the hall that's the bathroom." Marucho explained as he, Runo and Alice walked by while Eva and Judai looked at the room in surprise, especially at the toilet. "Even the toilet is tricked out."

"Yeah, but save a lot on plumbing." Eva stated.

"If this is the bathroom, I wonder what the bedrooms are like?" Judai questioned.

The gang walked past a glass wall, they looked into it and were surprised to see all kinds of sea animals, Judai and Eva recognized a lot of them as endangered species.

"Wow, Judai, it's beautiful." Eva smiled.

"Yeah, it is." Judai smirked.

"My mom likes to collect things like figurines and endangered species." Marucho said.

A few minutes later they were in another habitat, with lush trees.

"Ooh, look at the Giraffes they're in love." Runo cooed.

One giraffe walked towards them, bringing it's head to Eva who was nervous at first however she began to pet it. "Aww aren't you precious."

"You must have a way with animals, they are usually shy around new people." Marucho said.

"With the exception of birds and cats." Judai smirked.

"Shut up Judai!" Eva yelled.

Marucho then showed them the art room, which had dozens of paintings with some statues.

"Mom and Dad would be having a field day here." Judai stated.

"Yeah, especially mom with the thinker." Eva added.

Finally they all entered a huge room with a desk in the center and a giant monitor across the room.

"This room is certainly colossal." Alice said.

"Yes it's big, but it's a hassle to get a drink of water at night." Marucho stated.

"I can tell." Judai said.

"Your plasma tv looks like a jumbotron from here." Runo said.

Marucho walked up to the desk and began to type. "That's because it is." he said before the screen turned on which showed Julie and for some reason Chan Lee.

"Hey guys, nice trick fitting onto one screen technology really is something." Julie said.

"Chan Lee? What are you doing here?" Judai asked, surprised to see her.

"I was just checking some videos when I got a video chat message." Chan Lee answered.

"Wait, you both know the 3rd best battler in the world?" Dan asked in shock.

"Actually Dan, this is the first time I'm meeting Chan Lee." Marucho answered. "My parents do business with Alice's mom and they know Jur Lee, so it wasn't hard to make the connection and since Alisa is Alice's mother which meant Alice knew Chan personally so I decided to contact her."

"Well it's nice to meet you." Chan Lee said with a bow. "Are you feeling better Alice, and I'm sorry my mom hurt Wolf."

"It's ok, Chan." Alice said. "Wolf doesn't blame you or to an extent Juri, she was only doing her job."

"And that she's here is not great either." Eva stated to which Judai just subtly jab his shoulder into her. "Ow!"

"Anyway, how are you Chan?" Judai asked.

"Besides dealing with Lao, I've been great. I also got an invitation to some sorta gathering in a few months so I'll be out of contact for a while." Chan Lee answered.

"Okay, Hope to see you soon." Judai said. "How is your mother by the way besides, well you know?" Judai asked.

"I kinda yelled at her for it." Chan Lee said arms crossed. "But besides that pretty decent, she even sent me some new kimonos, but I wish she would come home ever since she started working for Alisa, she barely ever leaves her side and I barely see her."

"I'm sorry Chan." Alice said.

"Again it's fine Ali." Chan Lee smiled. "Anyway, I have to go. I'm meeting Linh and Saki soon. Have a nice day." the screen closed which left only Julie.

"Back to the subject, where are you guys?" Julie asked.

"Uh, we're at Marucho's house." Dan answered.

"And you conveniently forgot to invite me?!" Julie said in anger. "Wasn't picking up the phone and calling your job Runo?"

"Oh jeez I'm sorry." Runo said with a slight blush of embarrassment. "I totally forgot about it."

"Yeah, she's having trouble connecting the dots these days." Dan said.

"That's for sure." Judai added. "Like Eva."

Runo and Eva growled, before Runo slapped Dan across the face, while Eva punched Judai in the gut, making him fall to his knees.

"Oww." Both Dan and Judai shouted in pain.

"What was that for? For calling you a scatterbrain?" Dan asked.

"Yeah, why'd you do it?" Judai asked.

"We don't remember." both girls said with their backs turned.

Alice just facepalm. 'These two are just digging their graves at this point.'


Meanwhile in the dining area, Wolf was mingling with some guests while keeping an eye on his mother who was now talking to Dan's mom Miyako. He could see 'interest' in her eye and that was not a good thing.

"So what's it like running a corporation like AAAnimus?" Miyako asked. "It must be hard."

"Hmm, it's not that bad once you get used to it." Alisa smiled. "I have to say you look lovely."

"Oh, I'm not wearing anything special. I kinda stick out like a sore thumb among you all." Miyako said in a sheepish tone.

Alisa smirked. "A woman's true beauty comes from her personality, and not from her looks. You are both beautiful on the inside and outside Miyako." Miyako blushed in embarrassment. "Are you looking for work?"

Wolf glared at that question, as he continued to observe.

"Well not really, we have been falling behind on a few bills this month and I've been thinking about getting a job." Miyako said with her hand on her chin. "But I don't really have any special skills that could help your business."

"We have been looking for a new receptionist since the last one 'checked out." Alisa said, Juri reached into her jacket and pulled out a business card, and gave it to Miyako. "Whenever you are free you should come down, and I'll interview you."

Miyako looked at the card and smirked. "Ok, how's tomorrow sound?"

"Sounds great, I'll see you at 2:00 then." Alisa said, Miyako walked away. Alisa smiled. "Nice figure, good smile, she's a good catch don't you agree Juri?"

"Yes, Ms. Alisa." Juri agreed.

Just then Wolf approached them with three glasses of wine. "Greetings mother, Juri." Wolf smiled.

Alisa snarled. "Wolf, you have some nerve to refer to me as your mother after what you pulled." Alisa said.

"What did I pull?" Wolf questioned. "If I remember correctly, you almost molested Alice when she was a little girl, and you kept her from seeing us."

"And if I recall correctly, you, my sister, and my dead bastard of a father never told Alice the truth about her father's death." Alisa smirked. "Good riddance too to my father, it's almost like karma."

"He's not dead, me and Alice know it." Wolf said. "I'm warning you to stay away from Alice, she's already having a hard time with you around, and stay away from her friends and their families too."

Alisa chuckled. "Oh my little Wolf Pup, sooner or later Ali will return to me of her own will, and I'll make sure you never get between us again." She and Juri took the wine glass from Wolf and left with Wolf glaring at Alisa.


At that time Preyas was getting kicked around by the guests, before Wolf who was walking by accidentally kicked him into the air.

"Ohhhh! Make it stop!" Preyas yelled before he landed into a fanny pack, which turned out to belong to Miyako who was grabbing a plate of food. "Deviled eggs. deviled eggs and freshly cut pork rinds, international cuisine is just so exotic."


Not long after, Miyako was regretting eating too much food, and was now searching for the bathroom but to now avail.

"Oh, I should have stopped at 12 or 16." Miyako said as she continued to search for the bathroom, she came to a door and opened it, which she was shocked to see so much beautiful jewelry, which Preyas peeked out of the fanny pack to see. "Are these real?" Miyako asked herself.

Miyako then placed one of the necklaces on her neck. "Ah gorgeous." Miyako said.

"Oh that looks delicious on you." a voice said behind Miyako as she turned around seeing Shouko Marukura at the door. "It's our Chewy Jewelry Line." Shouko said.

"Chewy Jewelry Line?" Miyako questioned. "Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't be helping myself after I ate lunch." Miyako said frantically trying to take the necklace off.

"Wait." Shouko said. "Go ahead and keep it, I have lots more. In fact you can keep all of them."

Miyako was shocked before speaking. "Oh, then can I get a security box to go to?"

Shouko smiled and nodded, unknown to them Preyas was sneaking away with a few rings sneaking the jewelry away. "Don't mind me and my Bakugan friends, we'll be leaving now."


Back with the gang, who had gotten off the call with Julie were now watching tv, to put it more specifically Jenny and Jewels concert.

"Hi, and welcome back." The concert host said. "We bring you the famous Idols, Jenny and Jewels, also known as JJ Dolls."

The camera then shifted to Jenny and Jewels.

"Woah it's Jenny and Jewels." Dan said.

"Yeah." Eva added, she could tell that Dan was a fan of pop Idols like her. 'Won't he be Jealous to hear that not only have they visited my home but I have an autograph by them.' Eva thought.

"Hello! How is everyone? I'm the sweet and dreamy Jenny." Jenny said

"Hello there, I'm the brilliant Jewels." Jewels.

"And together we're JJ Dolls." Both Jenny and Jewels said.

"Jenny is so hot, her singing and dancing is what brought the group to life." Dan said in a dreamy tone.

"Jewel's, her name speaks of true beauty, and her voice is enough to sweep anyone off their feet." Maucho stated with a smile.

"Are you nuts?! The group would be nothing without Jenny, she's like the main attraction in the group!" Dan said.

"Nonsense! Jewels stands out more than Jenny, and her voice and looks outshine hers by a mile!" Marucho exclaimed.

Both boy's growled at each other while the others with the exception of Eva and Leonidas sighed.

"This'll be a while." Runo said.

'Are all Jenny and Jewels fans like this?' Judai wondered how they would react if they found out the pop group had visited his family's store a few days ago.

"I guess, both of them are fans of the JJ Dolls?" Eva commented before smirking and glancing at Judai who noticed her glance.

Alice also stared at Judai, remembering when both Jenny and Jewels hugged him after he helped them at the shop and just gave him a deadpan stare.

"Don't you say anything you two." Judai growled out as he knew what they were staring at him for.

"What's wrong?" Runo asked.

"Nothing, it's just my brother has never heard of them before?" Eva smirked.

Judai gave Alice a glance hoping that she wouldn't rat him out, basically giving her a look that says 'please don't tell them'.

"We won't." Alice whispered so low Runo didn't hear, while Eva nodded.

{So please tell me, what truly motivates you both?} the concert host asked.

{Bakugan!} Both Jenny and Jewels replied at the same time.

{Bakugan?} she questioned.

{Yeah it's like the most popular game of all time.} Jewels said.

{Yeah huh, Bakugan is the coolest, why is it all over the news.} Jenny smiled.

{Oh, um I knew that.} the concert host said with anime sweat on her forehead.

"Woah, they play bakugan, they must be like the best." Dan said in surprise.

"Yeah, the best of the girl players." Marucho added.

Suddenly they both got hit in the head and shouted in pain, they turned to see Eva and Runo who was engulfed in golden aura glaring at them.

"You don't know them, but you are calling them the best?!" Runo growled

"As much as I love them, they aren't the best." Eva stated. "They are currently in the 200's. So they aren't the best of the girl players.`` Both Dan and Marucho backed away from the two enraged females in fear of being hurt worse, while Judai shook his head in annoyance.

Suddenly the door opened, revealing it to be Marucho's family butler Kato. "Excuse, refreshment for your overheated friends sir?"

"Um, I need to use the restroom." Alice said with a blush of embarrassment.

"You sure you'll be fine with her here?" Judai asked.

Alice nodded. "Yes, Wolf should be keeping an eye on my mother."

"Kato, do you mind showing Alice to the restroom please?" Marucho asked.

Kato bowed. "As you wish master Marucho, right this way miss Alice." Kato gestured as he left the room with Alice following behind.


(hallway)

As the group excluding Alice was following Marucho down the hallway to have some refreshments.

"Just floor me, there's a full spread if you feel up for it." Marucho said.

"Great, I'm starving." Judai said.

"No kidding, my stomach's ready to rumble." Dan commented

As they were walking down the hallway, Marucho noticed Preyas moving on the floor with a bunch of diamond rings.

"Must keep moving, Must stay focused." Preyas told himself as he repeated himself as the entire gang noticed Preyas while Preyas still hadn't noticed them..

Eventually, Preyas stopped walking. "Must rest for exhaustion." Preyas said before he felt something. "I have the strangest sensation that I'm being watched." he said as he turned and noticed the group, startling him before went into closed ball form "Abort mission."

While in closed ball form, Preyas began talking to himself. "Maybe they didn't see you, yeah that's it, remain in the stealth position." Preyas told himself but after a while his nerves gave in. "Hmm, maybe I should take a peek." Preyas said as he turned to face them while still close, "Okay just act casually." He said while whistling

"Is that bakugan whistling?" Runo asked.

"Yep." Dan said.

"Why on earth or Vestroia would a Bakugan want with diamond rings?" Eva questioned.

"Oh no, I've been spotted." Preyas cried out.

"I don't know, but it looks like last year's line." Marucho said.

"Since we're on the subject can I have them?" Eva asked, looking at the jewelry.

"Eva not now." Judai said as he stared at this Bakugan.

"Fine, take me to your leader." Preyas said as he opened up.

"Our leader?" the gang questioned.

"Yes, your leader, and I'm willing to negotiate for I'm Aquos Preyas." Preyas said as he introduced himself.

'This Bakugan is not the brightest tool in the shed is he?' Judai thought.


(Hallway)

Kato had left not long ago after showing her the bathroom, but for some reason Alice walked away from the door and began to walk down the hall.

At that time Alisa and Juri were also walking down the hall to meet Shouko for a 'talk'.

"It's been a while since we've seen Shouko, a private talk between old friends sounds great." Alisa smiled. "Are you going to join us, Juri?"

"If you don't mind mistress." Juri said with a slight blush.

Alisa chuckled until she saw Alice walking down a corner. "Well, well, well. Looks like Alice is alone, maybe me and her should chat a bit."

"I'll keep a look out for Wolf mistress." Juri bowed.

Alisa and Juri followed far enough, to not be heard or spotted, just then Alice stopped.

'What are you doing my little Ali?' Alisa thought.

Alice's eyes were as if she was in a hypnotic state as she took out a mask and put it on her face, her reddish-orange hair spiked upward and turned yellow and her clothing changed as she gained a white coat as well as a blue shirt underneath, red fingerless gloves with black highlights on her hands, multiple belts on her waist, purple pants as well as heeled boots. Alisa knew who it was, this was the number 1 ranked brawler in the world, Masquerade. Masquerade than vanished from the building as he was a man on a mission.

"The h-hell?!" Alisa whispered in shock. "My Ali turned into a boy, she's Masquerade?!"

"Miss Alisa, are you ok?" Juri asked in concern.

Alisa didn't answer but smirked. "No, just interested, this is the perfect blackmail." Alisa smiled as she glanced at Juri. "Juri, tell me did you get that?" she asked.

Juri took out a smartphone and brought up a program called CLC which was short for CONTACT LENSE CAMERA. Juri was wearing state-of-the-art contact lenses that were also cameras/microphones developed by Alisa's company, for highly trained bodyguards and spies. Juri clicked the screen and it showed Alice's transformation.

"Excellent." Alisa smirked. "Although I'm still surprised to see my little girl take on that form, I wonder if my father had something to do with this?"

"Shall I look into it?" Juri asked.

"No, not now." Alisa said with a smile. "We have more pressing and pleasurable matters to attend to." Juri nodded before leaving for Shouko's room.


(Downtown)

JJ dolls were currently being driven to their next concert by limo by their manager.

"Oh, I'm tired, I want to play Bakugan." Jenny whined. "I'm bored of work."

"Yeah, Let's ditch all of this and go play Bakugan." Jewels agreed

"Look, I don't want to hear anymore about Bakugan." their manager said, she had brunette hair with black eyes and was wearing a black business suit. "So until you two clowns are paid for it, zip it."

"Fine." Jenny and Jewels whined.

The limo came to a stop, where a huge crowd had gathered, lots were holding up signs while others waved and cheered, security guards held back the crowd while the JJ Dolls Manager got out the limo and rushed to open the door, Jenny and Jewels exited and waved to their fans.

"Hey everyone." Jenny said.

"Heyyy!" Jewels stated.

"Come on, move then back!" their Manager ordered, as the staff tried to control the crowd.

"Jenny and Jewels, I am Masquerade." a voice called out, both girls looked around. "To your right."

After a minute of looking they spotted Masquerade in the crowd.

"Would you ladies care for a little bakugan battle?" Masquerade questioned. "Just battle the two combatants I selected for you and you'll be paid handsomely."

"Huh, but our manager won't let us play." Jenny said.

"What she doesn't know won't hurt us." Jewels said. "Plus, he did say pay. So our manager will have nothing to complain about."

"Oh, great thinking Jewels, you're so smart." Jenny said. "She never turns down money."

Masquerade just smirked, pleased that the JJ Dolls agreed to battle.


(Marucho's room)

Meanwhile back in Marucho's room, Preyas was getting to know the other Bakugan.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in, Dragon On, Hydra-Boy, Demon-Head, Tiger Puss and whatever you're supposed to be." Preyas said

"Dragon ON?" Drago said.

"Hydra-Boy?" Nillious deadpanned.

"Don't ever call me Tiger Puss." Tigrerra said.

"Demon-Head?" Eenoch growled, not liking the name.

"Grr, my name is Leonidas you annoying fool!" Leonidas growled.

"You never heard of him either huh?" Judai asked as he ate some food, he wondered where Alice was. She had been gone a while and that's what scared him, since Alisa was in the building.

"Nope, never seen or heard of a Leonidas." Preyas answered.

'Hmm.' Nillious thought he was trying to figure out where the mysterious bakugan came from.

Eva wasn't paying attention, she was admiring the diamond ring Marucho allowed her to keep, she gave one to Runo and there were three left and she was planning to give them to Alice, Chan and her mother. "This really goes well with my eyes."

Dan and Runo were also enjoying the refreshments in the room.

"This food is great." Dan said as he ate more.

"Yeah, it's great." Runo commented. "But what's a Bakugan crashing your party?" Runo asked.

Preyas then started to become nervous. "Oh I was just surveying stuff, yeah that's it." Preyas said. "And I thought I'll crash in, You don't mind Matachao." he asked Marucho.

"It's Marucho." Marucho corrected.

"You don't talk like the other Bakugan." Eva said.

"Well, i'm no stranger to town, I've been here for 6 months now, so i've been around the block." Preyas said. "Well I won't bore you with the details, w-well there was this one with creatures with claws and they had me in a tree and-"

"Forgive me for interrupting your fascinating story." Kato apologized. "But you have further guests to attend to."

"More guests for me?" Marucho questioned.

Everyone was surprised to see Jenny and Jewels walking in alongside Alice, who they could tell was equally surprised to see the JJ Dolls here.

"Hey boys, we're here to say, we want to brawl with just you today." Jenny said.

"So get ready cause we're here to play." Jewels said.

"We're Jenny and Jewels super sing sound!" both said.

"Woah Jenny and Jewels in the flesh." Dan said in astoundment.

"Wow! Real live girls are at my party." Marucho added.

Runo and Eva growled while Alice just pinched the bridge of her nose. 'It's almost like they want to make Runo and Eva kill them.'

"Alice what are they doing here?" Judai asked.

"I don't know, I was on my way back and I ran into Kato who was guiding them." Alice answered.

"Oh, Judai, it's nice to see you again. How's it hanging boy?" Jenny asked.

"You too Eva, and it was nice to see you Alice." Jewel said.

Dan, Marucho and Runo looked at them, and both Dan and Marucho grabbed Judai.

"You knew Jenny and Jewels and never told us!" Dan yelled.

"Judai, how long were you going to keep this from us?" Marucho added.

"To my grave." Judai said. "Now get off me!"

"That's nothing, I got an autograph from when they visited our store." Eva smiled, adding fuel to the fire.

"You're kidding?" Dan said in disbelief.

"Yeah, you're lying Eva." Marucho added.

"Um, guys can't focus on why they are here?" Judai suggested and hoped Eva wouldn't say anything about them hugging him or these two would be the death of him with Judai glancing at both Eva and Alice giving them the message that says 'Please don't tell them that they hug me'.

Eva and Alice winked translating to 'we won't tell them.

Judai having finally got Dan and Marucho off him, he turned to Jenny and Jewels. "So you two are here to battle huh?"

Dan smiled before taking out two Bakugan. "I am one of the best battlers, my name is Dan and I take no prisoners." Judai just rolled his eyes while Marucho glared at him.

"If you're trying to look cool, you're not doing a good job Dan." Eva commented.

"Aw, man I didn't think I had to battle today and I left my other Bakugan at home!" Runo complained.

"Tis unfortunate Madam." Tigrerra said.

"Oh, we won't battle unless Judai is one of the opponents." Jewels said.

Judai was surprised to hear that, why would they specifically want him as one of the opponents but he would worry about that later. "Alright, I accept your challenge, you ready Marucho?"

"Yeah." Marucho smiled.

"Aw Man, I want to battle." Dan complained.

'He's not the only one.' Eva thought, jealous that Judai was going to battle the JJ Dolls.


(rooftop)

Later the gang was on the roof, with the exception of Marucho who said he needed to get something before the battle.

Judai showed no emotion as Jenny and Jewels stared each other down, wind blowing through their hair in anticipation.

'What's taking Marucho so long?' Judai questioned

"I'm coming, i'm coming!" Marucho yelled as he ran towards the group carrying something."Sorry I took so long, but I got these from my Dad's factory." Marucho said as he Gave Judai a launcher.

"Nice." Judai said as he strapped the launcher on while inspecting the launcher on his arm. "Great fit."

"Enough showboating Judai." Eva said.

"Man they're lucky." Dan complained.

"Don't worry Eva, Dan we launchers for you two and Runo." Marucho said.

"You two sure you two will need those?" Alice asked. "I mean it doesn't seem fair."

"Don't worry about us girl." Jenny said, wagging her finger. "Hey Jewels!"

"Oh, look we brought our own too." Jewels added before they both showed a weird type of gauntlet.

"Well it looks like we're even now," Judai commented.

"Well boys." Jenny said before showing them the doom card. "Ready for a friendly game of cards."

"The doom card!" Dan exclaimed.

"So that means Masquerade is behind this?" Marucho questioned.

"No doubt about it." Eva remarked.

"Why yes, he did give his cards." Jenny answered.

"He told us to defeat Judai, along with one of you brawlers." Jewels added. "No hard feelings Judie bear."

"Judie Bear." Eva chuckled, while Judai glared at her.

"How can you two allow yourselves to work for Masquerade? he's using you." Judai said.

"Being used? No way this is a mutual business transaction." Jewels stated. "We're being paid to beat you."

"How about a deal though, if we win you give us a discount at your store Judai?" Jenny said with a wink, which Dan growled in Jealousy.

"Sorry, but it's not happening." Judai said. "And I won't lose."

"Me neither." Marucho added.

"Field Open!" all four called, as time began to slow around birds stopped everyone was sent to another dimension.


All the battlers plus Alice, Dan, Runo and Eva as spectators were sent to the battling field

"Doom Card Set!" Both Jenny and Jewels shouted as they both threw the Doom cards.

"Gate Cards Set!" All the battlers shouted as they threw down their Gate Cards

Judai-3 Bakugan

Marucho-3 Bakugan

Jenny-3 Bakugan

Jewels-3 Bakugan

"Alright let's start brawling." Jewels said. "Bakugan Brawl! She shouted as she launched her Bakugan onto her own Gate Card "Perfect Bullseye."

The Bakugan that Jewels launched was a Subterra Stinglash who in a flash of Light rose up, awaiting its opponent.

"A Stinglash?" Judai told himself as he checked his Bakupod to check its data.

[Subterra Stinglash, Power Level 290gs, no other Data available.]

"That's above average for a Stinglash." Judai said.

"Ok, power level 300gs, let's give Preyas a spin." Marucho said, as Preyas opened up.

"Ahh, is my nap over already?" Preyas asked.

"So the opponent's attribute is subterra, then i'll use-" Marucho was then cut off by Preyas.

"Woah Muchacho, we don't need an ability card." Preyas said. "I got some tricks of my own."

"So you have a plan?" Marucho asked.

"Of course I do, I plan on winging it." Preyas said.

"Winging it?" Marucho said in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Like a charm, trust me." Preyas said. "Just stand back and watch the magic."

"Is Preyas crazy, he's going to wing it without an ability card?" Runo asked.

Nillious then popped out. "He'll be fine, just watch." Nillious said.

Judai nodded, as they watched, Marucho loaded Preyas into the launcher.

"Bakugan Brawl!" Marucho shouted as he launched Preyas onto Jewels' gate card, in a pillar of water Preyas appeared with his arms crossed, appearing as a humanoid chameleon.

"Aquos Preyas has arrived." Preyas stated.

"Whoa, wicked cool." Dan said.

"Woah wee." Marucho added.

"He looks strong." Eva said.

"Get ready kiddies, cause it's showtime!" Preyas proclaimed while striking a ridiculous pose with his frill above his head.

"What's he doing?" Alice asked in confusion.

"He's an idiot." Judai said he usually doesn't insult that much but Preyas was acting like a clown.

"Go ahead, pick any card, I love surprises." Preyas stated as he continued to make a fool of himself.

"Nice clown act, when he dropped the ball on my card." Jewels said. "Here I come." she said as she activated her gate card which began glowing.

Preyas turned around. "Good, we have a volunteer." he said "Now if you excuse me, I'll think i'll change into something more comfortable." Preyas said as he changed attributes from Aquos to subterra, shocking the gang as well as Jenny and Jewels except Drago and Nillious.

"W-What? He changed his attribute into Subterra." Marucho said in shock.

"Impossible." Dan shouted.

"It's not unheard of, but I've never seen it before." Drago said.

"He's right, the Preyas species are among the few species of Bakugan capable of changing their attributes." Nillious confirmed.

"Now that's cool. Runo said.

"Yeah, I need to find one." Eva said.

"Oh that feels much better." Preyas said.

"What's going on?!" Jewels exclaimed. "How can it go from Aquos to Subterra, this clown is some sort of tricked-out chameleon."

Just then the gate card activated, suddenly the area turned into a desert.

Both Jenny and Jewels checked their bakupod and saw that both Stinglash and Preyas got an equal power boost.

[Power Increased on Both sides by 150gs] (Stinglash 290gs-440gs, Preyas 300gs-450gs)

"Oh no, how can his power level also be increasing?" Jenny questioned in worry while Jewels gritted her teeth.

Preyas than rushed at Stinglash and slammed him, causing Stinglash to revert back to ball form in defeat

As Stinglash was rolling to Jewels, she was gritting her teeth

Judai-3 Bakugan

Marucho-3 Bakugan

Jenny-3 Bakugan

Jewels-2 Bakugan

"Thank you for your time ladies, until next time." Preyas smiled before converting back to ball form and returning to Marucho.

"Preyas you were great." Marucho said.

"Great? Pffft, I was awesome!" Preyas said with pride.

"Alright, the show is over. Time to get back to business right Judai?" Jenny asked.

"Oh yeah." Judai smirked.


(Shouko's room)

Meanwhile in Shouko's room, although time had halted, Alisa, Juri and Shouko were not affected, thanks to a device called the TIME RESTORATOR that Alisa's company invented to prevent it, she was planning to reveal it later on so no one would be frozen in time while a bakugan battle took place.

All the three women were naked. Alisa and Juri were kissing while Shouko was on her knees between Alisa's legs, licking at her clit.

"Ahh, yeah that's a good girl." Alisa moaned as she pet Shouko on the head while she wagged her ass like a dog. Unknown to many, Alisa had made Shouko and many other women submit under her whim but no men, for there was only one man she would allow to touch her body, it gave her control over not only them but other companies Marucho and her husband were unaware that she had control of most of their stocks thanks to her pet. "It seems like your son is in the middle of a battle with the JJ Dolls, hmm good-looking girls."

Shouko didn't answer as she continued to lick Alisa's pussy.

"Will you be using the extra-large one today?" Juri asked.

"Oh yeah, I've been waiting to use this on her." Alisa said as she pulled on Shouko's hair which the blonde knew meant that she was to stop. Alisa stood up and reached into her dress and pulled out a large 10-inch purple vibrating dildo she had used on Juri and countless other girls, and Shouko was one of them with Miyako soon to follow.

"Juri, spread her." Alisa ordered.

Juri did as told, she got behind Shouko and spread her legs, the blonde woman laid her head back into Juri's soft breasts. Shouko then spread her waiting pussy ready to be fucked by her master.

"Please mistress Alisa, do me." Shouko begged.

Alisa licked her lips and turned on the vibrater, then grabbed a firm hold on Shouko's legs and with no hesitation she plowed into the blondes womanhood, earning a lustful moan that echoed through the halls.


(back to the battle.)

Judai-3 Bakugan

Marucho-3 Bakugan

Jenny-3 Bakugan

Jewels-2 Bakugan

"Alright Judai, let's go." Jenny said.

"Bring it." Judai said.

"Bakugan Brawl." Jenny said as she launched her Bakugan at her own Gate Card."Ready to battle Judai?" she asked as Judai blushed "Aquos Fear Ripper Stand!"

In a Flash of Light, Aquos Fear Ripper appeared, flexing its claws, awaiting its opponent.

Judai checked his Bakubod "Her Fear Ripper's at 300gs and if i'm right that card could help her either increase her power level or have Jewels aid her." Judai told himself.

"Hey, are you going to battle or what?" Jenny called out.

"Hold your horses, one of the main virtues of brawling is patience." Judai said.

"He's right, if you rush things you might end up losing faster." Eva added.

"Bakugan Brawl." Judai shouted as he launched his Bakugan at his own Gate Card. "Stand Pyrus Robotallion!" Judai called out.

In a flash of light, an advanced robotic-like Bakugan appeared and flexed its arms awaiting its opponent

[Robotallion enters Battle at 300gs]

"Is that really your best move?" Jenny asked.

"You've seen nothing yet." Judai smirked.

"Hey, it's your funeral." Jenny called.

"I think he's playing you Jenny." Jewels stated.

"Well, I like to see you do better." Jenny countered.

"They won't know that they hit them." Jewels said with a smile. "Bakugan Brawl!" She launched a bakugan onto Judai's card. "Saurus stand!"

[Saurus Enters Battle at 320gs]

"Here we go!" Judai called out. "Gate Card Open Ring of Fire!"

[Robotallion Power Level Increase 300gs-400gs]

"Not so fast! Ability Card Activate! Aquos and Subterra combo!" Jewels called out as both Saurus and Fear Ripper began to glow.

"What's happening?" Judai questioned.

[Saurus's Power Level 320gs-420gs]

"No!" Judai shouted

Saurus then charged at Robotallion, striking him with his shoulder, a rift to the doom dimension appeared and Robotallion was sent through it as Saurus returned to Jewels in victory.

Judai-2 Bakugan

Marucho-3 Bakugan

Jenny-3 Bakugan

Jewels-2 Bakugan

"Damn it! My Robotallion is gone!" Judai said in anger more at himself than anything for falling for that so easily.

"Oh too bad, Judai, it must be frustrating being beaten by a girl." Jewels mocked which Judai growled.

"Judai, what are you doing? You should have known they would use that combo." Eva called out.

"She right, you let your guard down Judai." Nillious pointed out.

"What do you mean Eva?" Runo asked.

"I know what she means. By diagonally combining the attributes of their Aquos and Subterra bakugan they were able to not only overpower you, but also cancel out your gate card." Marucho explained.

"And not just that, they are a tag team so they mostly focus on teamwork." Alice added.

"I got careless." Judai said, clenching his fists.

"Hey, why don't you calm down." Preyas said.

"There is a solution, Preyas can change his attribute." Nillious said.

"That's right, if Preyas changes to Subterra he'll be in a diagonal combination with me." Marucho said.

"And if he changes to Darkus like Nillious he'll be diagonal with Leonidas." Judai added.

"That's right." Preyas said.

"Enough talk, let's battle!" Leonidas said.

"This isn't over, we can still do this." Marucho said. "Bakugan Brawl!" Marucho launched a Bakugan onto his card. "Juggernoid stand." Suddenly a giant shell appeared on the card, and out the shell came a turtle.

"Ability Activate! Water Refrain!" Marucho called out as he threw the card.

Juggernoid started to send out blue waves of energy thanks to the ability card throughout the battlefield.

"According to my calculations no one should be able to use ability cards at this point." Marucho said.

"We'll see about that." Jenny said. "Gate Card set." she threw a gate card down. "Bakugan Brawl, Gargonoid stand. As a blue Gargoyle appeared on the gate card.

"Judai!" Nillious exclaimed.

"I know, there are Aquos Bakugan lined with each other." Judai said. "Their planning for a tsunami attack, and if they use the Aquos Siege I gave them, we'll be wiped out."

"Thanks again for the advice Judai." Jenny winked.

"You told them how to do the tsunami maneuver?" Marucho questioned.

"Y-Y-Yeah." Judai admitted. "But in my defense I didn't expect them to work with Masquerade."

"Forget about it, we have to stop them before they call on Aquos Siege." Leonidas said.

"Indeed." Nillious. "We have to secure our position before they unleash Siege."

"I know, but you and Leo are my only Bakugan at this moment, if I send either of you out." Judai said in worry. "I can't risk either of you being sent to the Doom Dimension."

Leonidas flew in front of him. "You trust me right Judai?"

"Of course." Judai nodded.

"Then send me out there and trust me." Leonidas said.

"Alright, Gate Card set!." Judai exclaimed, throwing down a gate card he loaded Leonidas into the launcher. "Bakugan Brawl! Leonidas stands!"

[Leonidas enters battle at 370gs]

"Now it's time I show you what I can do." Leonidas said.

"I hope they know what they are doing." Alice said in worry.

"Yeah, one mess and Leonidas is gone." Eva added.

"Oh, he's scary girlfriend." Jenny said.

"Totally." Jewels said

"Preyas isn't the only one who can do it." Leonidas said, confusing everyone before he shocked them all by changing into Ventus.

"No way! He can change attributes as well?" Dan exclaimed in shock.

"Judai did you know he could?" Eva said.

"No I didn't." Judai said just as shocked.

"I'm not scared of him, Gate Card set!" Jewels said as she placed a gate card down. "Bakugan Brawl! Saurus stand!" Saurus appeared ready to do battle.

"Judai, this could work in our favor." Marucho smirked. "Since he's Ventus we could use the Power Triangle, by combine, Leonidas as Ventus, Nillious as Darkus and Preyas changes to Subterra the Power Triangle will be complete."

"And as a backup, If Leonidas is Pyrus, along with your Aquos Bakugan and If Preyas could Change his attribute to Haos then we have a greater chance of success." Judai explained.

"Exactly." Marucho smiled.

"Incredible they have all the bases covered, don't screw up big bro." Eva said.

"If anyone is going to screw up, I'll place bets on Preyas." Eenoch spoke up, surprising everyone as he rarely speaks unless it's something important or someone irritated him.

"Wait, you don't expect me to just go out there, and risk a one-way ticket to the doom dimension don't you?" Preyas questioned.

"Yes." both Judai and Marucho said happily as if nothing was wrong.

"Just do it Preyas, we'll back you up." Nillious added

"Why doesn't that make me feel safer?" Preyas asked.

"We need you Preyas." Marucho said.

"Oh. oh fine." Preyas said not having a choice in the matter.

Marucho grabbed Preyas and Loaded him into the Launcher, fired him onto the gate card where Saurus was. He appeared with an Umbrella in his hands.

"Mind if I play?" Preyas said.

"Be serious!" Marucho yelled.

"You mind, this is my party." Preyas counted as he changed attributes but it was to Darkus. "What do you think?"

"That's the wrong attribute!" Marucho yelled.

"He's so stupid, now they won't be able to use power triangle." Runo said.

"Can't I do anything right?" Preyas said.

"Hmm, not the brightest Bakugan." Jewels said as she watched Preyas antics.

"She's actually right." Eenoch agrees

"Hey I heard that." Preyas said as he faced Jewels before glancing at Eenoch. "And you as well Demon-Head." he told Eenoch to which Eenoch growled at

"Well you are stupid you idiot!" Judai yelled "our chance to win is at risk!"

"Gate Card Open right now!" Jewels yelled, before the field turned into the desert.

[Saurus Power increase 320gs-390gs]

Preyas screamed as he ran away from Saurus. "Someone call 911, help!"

Marucho checked his Bakupod and found out that Water Refrain's effect has vanished, meaning that he could now use abilities.

"Leo, you need to change back to Pyrus!" Judai called out.

"I have to do everything around here." Leonidas growled as he changed attributes back from Ventus to Pyrus.

"Quick Marucho." Judai shouted.

"Right," Marucho said. "Ability Activate! Pyrus and Darkus Combo!"

Both Leonidas and Preyas began glowing, powering up.

[Preyas 300gs-400gs]

Preyas's muscles than bulked out a little before he flashed his teeth before he rushed at Saurus and delivered a barrage of punches before sending him flying with a punch, Saurus reverted back to ball form in defeat. While Preyas returned back to Marucho in victory

Judai-2 Bakugan

Marucho-3 Bakugan

Jenny-3 Bakugan

Jewels-1 Bakugan

"The hell, he didn't go down." Jenny said.

"Oh, that was too close, good thing Leonidas changed back to Pyrus at the last minute." Marucho said.

"Indeed, that was very close." Judai said.

"No need to worry, I had everything under control." Preyas said.

Both Judai and Marucho were irritated and furious with Preyas. "Why you ungrateful little Bakugan." they both shouted.

"That was a very careless display." Nillious scolded

"Get off my case, I did win." Preyas countered.

"Judai, Leonidas is still out!" Alice called out.

"That's right, he's vulnerable." Judai said. "Preyas if Leo is sent to the Doomed Dimension, I personally send you there!"

"It's time for us to make a splash! Gate Card set!" Jenny exclaimed. "Bakugan Brawl! Aquos Siege stand!" out of a water spot a blue night with a lance appeared onto the gate card.

[Siege enters Battle at 390gs]

"Oh no!" Judai said, while Marucho was panicking.

"He needs to do something fast." Dan said.

"I love this game." Jenny smiled.

"It's time to make waves girl." Jewels said.

"Ability Activate! Tsunami Wave!" Jenny called out, Aquos Siege summoned a giant wave which was heading for not only Leonidas and Juggernoid but his own team.

"Judai!" Eva and Alice yelled.

"Leo changes to Haos quickly!" Judai yelled.

Wasting no time Leonidas changed into Haos.

"Now ability Activated! Energy Shield!" Judai called out. "Not only does this shield him but it also rises his G-power by 80 for the rest of the game"

[Leonidas Power Level detected 370gs-450gs]

Leonidas then created an orb of light that had protected him from the wave, but Juggernoid and the others weren't so lucky and they were swept into the doom dimension.

Judai-2 Bakugan

Marucho-2 Bakugan

Jenny-1 Bakugan

Jewels-1 Bakugan

"Phew, that was close." Judai sighed in relief as Leonidas returned to him. "You alright partner?"

"Yeah, no thanks to that idiot over there!" Leonidas said glaring at Preyas. "It's also because of you, Juggernoid has been lost."

"Look, i'm sorry ok." Preyas apologize.

"That doesn't cut it you fool." Nillious said.

"Grr, take a break, Leo." Judai said. "Nillious it's time we end this."

"Yeah, I'm with you Judai." Nillious announced.


(Shouko's room)

Alisa smirked at that last play as she continued to pound Juri from behind while Shouko had passed out from the pleasure earlier with her love juices covering the sheets. "That was an excellent play, wasn't it Juri?" Alisa asked while Juri continued to moan in pleasure.

"Y-Yes Mistress!" Juri exclaimed in pleasure as she came again.

"I can see why Alice likes Judai." Alisa smirked. "Strong, Smart and caring. Just like my husband." Alisa lowered her head to Juri's ear and whispered. "You want to give Chan a little sister, Juri?"

"Yes, mistress. I've been waiting to give birth to another one of our children." Juri said with a smile.

Unknown to Alice and Chan, they were half-sisters, Alisa had used cutting-edge technology which Alisa used her DNA with Juri to make her pregnant with Chan.

"Sooner or later we'll have to tell them the truth about it." Alisa then looked at Shouko then thought back to Miyako, thinking she might do the same thing to them. "And of course they will have more half-siblings on the way if things work out."

"Mistress please fuck me more." Juri begged.

Alisa smiled before turning the vibrater up to max, Juri gritted her teeth and groaned, saliva pouring out both sides of her mouth, in an unexpected move she raised Juri off the bed by her legs and continued to fuck her, in which the female bodyguard howled in pleasure as her body torqued with each thrust and before long, she then came, her essence shooting out all over the bed and on to the still unconscious Shouko who moaned from feeling Juri's juice flowing all over her. Alisa then pulled out of Juri, and lowered her on the bed. The bodyguard's chest was spasming, her mind almost going blank from the last orgasm.

Alisa pouted playfully. "You know, I claimed her first?" she whispered into Juri's ear. "And you're trying to mark my property, you're a bad girl Juri, and bad girls need to be punished more."

Juri gave her a smile. "Yes, mistress, I'm a bad girl and I need to be punished." Alisa smirked as she prepared for another round. All the while thinking about having another child or children with Juri, the thought of both Shouko and Miyako also having her kids would be a bonus, plus they were also have having them under her control would also control the Brawlers, she didn't just hire Miyako for just sex, she hired her to keep an eye and leash on Dan and his Partner, same with Shouko with Marucho, and soon she would target Shun as well, the former ranked 1 battler in the world and she knew the reason why he had stop battling, so she would offer him the one thing he wants more then anything else, his mother Shiori out of her coma, and she had the means of doing so. which would not only secure a favor from Shun, but also another possible lover in the future as well. So it's a win-win for everyone. Everybody's happy but most of all me.


(Battlefield)

Judai-2 Bakugan

Marucho-2 Bakugan

Jenny-1 Bakugan

Jewels-1 Bakugan

"Damn it! That's cheating!" Dan roared.

"No it's not." Eva said. "It's a clever move, for a clean sweep."

"Sorry our bad." Jenny and Jewels said.

"Nillious you're up!" Judai growled.

"Right." Nillious said.

Judai wasted no time and set down a gate card, before he loaded Nillious into the Launcher. "Bakugan Brawl! Nillious stand!"

[Nillious enters battle at 380gs]

"Judai, I'm sure you'll recognize this guy, Bakugan Brawl!" Jewels said as she launched a Bakugan onto Judai's card. "Centipoid stand!"

"Oh no…." Eva and Alice said at the same time.

[Centipoid enters battle at 340gs.]

"Another Bakugan you gave them?" Runo called out.

"Can you guys cut me a break?" Judai yelled at Runo. "Gate Card Open! Dark World, this will increase your power level by 150gs." as a void of darkness appeared surrounding the Bakugan

[Nillious's power level increase detected 380gs-530gs]

"That should be enough to crush that centipede." Judai called out to Nillious.

"Yeah." Nillious roared.

"Ability Activate! Aquos and Subterra Combo!" Jewels called out as both Centipoid and Siege glowed with both of their power levels rising

[Siege's Power level increase detected 390gs-490gs, Centipoid's power level increase detected 340gs-440gs]

Judai checked his bakupod and smirked. "Alright, Centipoid's power level is only 440gs, he';s still weaker than Nillious."

"Don't count us out yet Judie, after all, you told us about this trick" Jenny said.

Judai growled, understanding what she meant.

"Ability Activate! Attractor!" Jewels called out.

"Attractor?" Runo questioned.

"That's not good, thanks to that ability Centipoid can call over an ally to assist in battle." Eva answered.

"That's impossible, it's two against one now." Dan said.

"Judai." Alice muttered in worry.

A road cut through the darkness, which made a path for Aquos Siege to enter the battle; it was now two on one.

"Thanks for the advice Judai." Jenny and Jewels smiled.

[Siege/Centipoid combined power level 930gs, Nillious at 530gs]

"A combined power level of 930gs, that's some serious firepower." Dan said.

"Damn it!" Judai said, knowing he was in deep trouble.

"Judai, use the Pyrus and Darkus combo." Leonidas said.

"That's right, if I link Darkus to Pyrus, I can send you out there." Judai smirked. "Counter Ability activated! Darkus and Pryus reverse combo!" Leondias began to glow before he flowed onto the BattleField and assumed his true form.

[Siege/Centipoid combined power level 930gs]

"Well, it could have been worse." Nillious said. "It could have been Preyas, he's been wearing on my nerves lately."

"Too true, but I doubt it, cause bakugan like him are only limited to three attributes." Leonidas added. "I have no such limit."

"Hey, since when can Leonidas crash the party I want to launch an official protest!" Jenny complained.

"According to the rules, they can use a diagonal move to counterattack." Jewels said, looking over the rules on her bakupod.

"Oh no!" Jenny gasped.

Just then both Bakugan began to glow purple and red as the effects of the Darkus and Pyrus combo kicked in.

[Sensing Power level surge Nillious/Leonidas combined power level 1180gs]

"Ahhh!" Jenny and Jewels screamed in fear.

"Time to end this, consecutive Abilities Activate!" Judai shouted.

"Shadow Breath!" Nillious roared.

"Alpha Blaster!": Leondias roared.

[Nillious/Leonidas combined power level 1380gs]

"Ahhh this is worse than a bad hair day!" Jewels screamed.

Nillious launched two blasts of dark energy from both jaws while at the same time, Leonidas flew into the air and fired a stream of energy from his maw.

Both attacks hit Siege and Centipoid as they reverted back to ball form and rolled to Jenny and Jewels feet in defeat while Leonidas and Nillious reverted back to ball form and returned to Judai in victory

Judai-2 Bakugan

Marucho-2 Bakugan

Jenny-0 Bakugan

Jewels-0 Bakugan

"We did it!" Marucho said as he hugged Judai who was slightly uncomfortable about smiling.

"Yeah we did." Judai smirked.

"At least we're still popular." Jenny and Jewels sighed.


Not long after they all return to their home dimension.

"Great job, guys." Dan said.

"You did awesome." Runo stated.

"You had me worried there Judai, but you and Marucho pulled through." Alice smiled.

"Jeez, Judai don't scare me like that, I thought you were going to lose Leo and Nillious there." Eva said.

Marucho smiled and turned to both Jenny and Jewels. "I know you both love Bakugan, but siding with Masquerade will only land you in trouble, but you two ever want to hang out?"

"Who cares about him, you both, especially you Judai are awesome." Jewels said, which Marucho glared at Judai because Jewels was paying attention to him.

"Yo yo yo, girl we need to split, we have a show to do." Jenny reminded Jewels.

"Oh that's right, but before we go." Jewels said as she pulled out backstage passes and she gave them to Judai. "You all are invited to our show tonight, so don't be late." Jewels winked at Judai, and before long the two pop stars left.

"I can't believe it, Jenny and Jewels gave you backstage passes?!" Dan said in shock.

"I-I-I I can explain this alright." Judai said, Before glancing at Alice. "Right Alice?"

"You're on your own Judai." Alice smirked.

"It would be bad if they knew that Jenny and Jewels hugged you." Eva said before she clapped her hands over her mouth. "Uh oh!"

"They did what!" Dan and Marucho yelled before they tackled Judai to the ground, while Runo, Eva and Alice tried to pull them off him.


(Outside Marucho house)

After getting Dan and Marucho off Judai, every guest left.

"Guess the party's over?" Judai stated.

"Yeah it is." Wolf said, walking up to them. "I've just seen the update, that was some battle you both pulled off."

"Yeah, we did great and we scored backstage passes to the Jenny and Jewels concert." Marucho said.

"Have you seen her Wolf?" Alice asked, referring to their mother.

"I lost sight of her earlier, but she left not too long ago." Wolf said, which Alice sighed in relief. "Oh yeah, Dan you should watch out with your mother, I saw Alisa talking to her earlier about a job."

"Why was Alice's mother talking to my mother about a job?" Dan asked.

"Because she's a sexual predator." Alice said, not able to hold back the harshness in her tone. "Ever since my dad died, she has never looked at any men and only targets women, and you can guess Juri is one of them."

"Wait, she can't do that, Dan's mom is married!" Runo exclaimed.

Wolf just scoffed at that. "Like she cares."

"It's what I told Nillious, she has no fear of losing face because she can make evidence and proof disappear before she even does anything." Judai said.

"I would check on your mom, kid I have a feeling she wouldn't pass up this opportunity." Wolf told Marucho.

"Y-yes." Marucho said in an uneasy tone, after that everyone returned home, with the thought of both Masquerade and Alisa etched into their minds.


Meanwhile, as Juri was driving Alisa back to one of AAAnimus's branches, Alisa was thinking back to when she still saw her daughter changed into Masquerade and when Wolf told her that her father wasn't dead just missing.

"Juri, go out and get Alice, you get along with her so please invite her over so that we may have a private conversation." Alisa asked Juri.

"And if she refuses or Wolf or her friends interferes?" Juri questioned.

"Then they are welcome to come as well." Alisa said. "Make sure to get Alice tomorrow, Judai and his sister have school and Wolf will be meeting with his workmates so she'll be completely alone."

"As you wish, mistress." Juri said.

Alisa then pulled out a tablet, which showed the Project she had been working on for the last few months and smirked. 'Soon, project UBT will be a go.' UBT and among other projects she had made to further advance the game of Bakugan, but UBT would be where all of them would be used and where she and her partner would be the ultimate batters.

In fact, mass production of the devices were already in motion and Alisa gave these Bakugan-Controlling devices to a couple of battlers both adults as well as adolescents, including those who specifically work for her company.

"Alisa, have you figured out Leonidas' origins?" Darkus Helios asked, appearing on her shoulder.

"Oh, yea, I was surprised to find out that he was born from the doom dimension, he is a wild card in the upcoming war, along with Vladitor, but soon they'll fall before our knees Hahahaha!" Alisa's laugh echoed through the streets.


The next day, while Wolf was at work and Judai, Eva, Runo and Dan were at school, Alive was currently manning the shop.

"Thanks again, please come back soon." Alice told a customer as she left. "That website Eva made is working like a charm, people are coming in not just for the Bakugan but for the artifacts too."

Buster howled in delight.

"Yeah it was a great idea, Buster." Alice smiled.

At that point the front door rang, alerting Alice. "Welcome to Yamato Anti-" Alice's eyes widened at the sight of Juri, Alice instantly thought her mother was here and Judai and Wolf weren't here to save her.

"Juri, I don't want trouble, tell my mother to leave." Alice said.

Juri bowed. "Alice, Miss Alisa has requested an audience with you, non-negotiable."

Buster growled ready to attack at any moment.

Juri glanced at Buster before turning her head blushing, secretly Juri loves animals, being an animal lover, with wolves being her favorite.

"Juri, tell my mother I refuse." Alice said firmly.

"Mistress Alice, please be reasonable." Juri pleaded.

"Reasonable? she wasn't very reasonable before nearly raped me years ago." Alice said backing away, she knew she couldn't beat Juri in a fight. And she could take out Buster in a matter of seconds if she wanted.

"Then I guess I have to take you by force, forgive me." Juri said as she walked forward.

Buster growled as he leaped at Juri, but Juri just sidestepped and grabbed him from behind and lightly touched his temple causing him to become sleepy. "Sleep you adorable wolf." Juri whispered.

Buster closed his eyes and was asleep leaving Alice at the mercy of Juri.

"Now, Mistress Alice, will you accept or will I have to drag you?" Juri questioned.

"You can try." Alice said as she ran fast as she could to the back door however Juri had caught her in no time flat, Alice struggled against Juri's grasp, before she felt her shoulder being squeezed Alice then fell limp in Juri's embrace.

"Alisa was right, you are cute when you sleep Mistress Alice." Juri said as she carried Alice outside in bridal position and placed her in the back of the limo, before driving, leaving a sleeping Buster all alone in the shop.


(AAAnimus Building)

Alice began to wake up, and she found herself in an office that was decorated with art and statues, and it also had a koi pond built into it too.

"Hello, Alice." a familiar voice called out.

Alice turned to face her mother sitting at the desk with an amused smile. "We have a lot to talk about."

At that point, Alisa's partner Bakugan appeared and popped open. "So this is your daughter….I could see the resemblance." Darkus Helios commented.

"Of course, after all her looks come from me." Alisa smirked.

"You have a bakugan partner?" Alice questioned. "Never mind that, what am I doing here? If you try to touch me."

"Oh, let's just say I learned something interesting yesterday." Alisa said. "Tell me, have you heard of the battler Masquerade?"

Alice was confused but answered. "Yes, Judai and Dan have had encounters with him, but what does that have to do with kidnapping me?"

Alisa just looked at her. "You don't know? Or are you playing dumb?"

"What are you talking about? You're not making any sense." Alice said not wanting to be around her mother any longer.

"Well, maybe this will jog your memory." Alisa said as she pushed a button which opened a hatch in the ceiling revealing a tv screen, Alice was shocked to see her putting on a Mask and became Masquerade.

Alice shook her head and glared at her mother. "You're lying! I'm not him that's fucking crazy, you made this to mess with my head like aways!"

"Say what you will, but this footage was caught through technology on state-of-the-art contact lenses worn by Juri." Alisa smirked much to Alice's shock. "And you know how she's always truthful."

Alice glared at her mother before she gasped and her eyes dulled, Alisa raised an eyebrow. Alice then took out the mask and placed it on, and became Masquerade.

"Nice to meet you in person, should I call you son?" Alisa smirked.

"Hmph, Alice has no idea of the existence of a second personality, and you know too much." Masquerade said.

"Hmmph, you think that you could take me on?" Darkus Helios asked.

"Now hold on Helios, I have a proposal that benefits both of us." Alisa told Helios before turning to Masquerade. "If I have to guess your current form is the result of my daughter absorbing too much negative energy correct?" Alisa guessed

Masquerade said nothing but nodded.

"Then that means my father is still alive and I assume that you're working for him." Alisa guessed. "However he also absorbed too much negative energy as well."

"Get to the point, woman?" Masquerade said impatiently, it could be from Alice's hatred towards her that is making him less patient.

"An alliance between AAAnimus and if I'm correct, my father is working for Naga, correct?" Alisa said, smirking.

"Hmph. And what is it you want out of this alliance?" Masquerade questioned.

"I haven't decided yet, but here's something from me to you as the start of our new alliance." Alisa said as she pressed a button, contacting Juri. "Juri, bring in that Bakugan please."

Moments later Juri walked in with a Bakugan in hand before she handed it to Alisa.

"I recently found this bakugan while on a trip to a potential branch site of my company. I was planning for it to battle for me, but take it as a sign of my good faith." Alisa smiled.

Masquerade took hold of the Bakugan and could feel the power coming through it and smiled.

"His name is Hydranoid, and his power level is even higher than your Reaper and equal to that of Vladitor and still has the potential to grow stronger, after Darkus Helios, Hydranoid might be the strongest Darkus Bakugan on the planet." Alisa said.

Masquerade remember the battle with Vladitor, he barely won against Marduk but now he would be unstoppable. "Very well, I'll talk to my master about this agreement.

"Okay, I expect an audience with them soon." Alisa smirked. "One more thing, when I arrive I will show them the UBT Project, with it you'll be able to fight the strongest opponents."

"Very well, my time is up and Alice won't remember a thing." Masquerade said as he took off the mask and Alice returned to normal before she fell to the floor.

"Mistress Alisa, what should I do?" Juri asked

"As much as I would like to tell her about her father, I think it's best we send her home for now." Alisa smirked. "Her friends should be back soon, do you mind Juri?"

"I don't mind at all." Juri said.

"That reminds me, I never told them my warning back when I first met them." Alisa smiled as she picked up Alice and bridal carry her and began following Juri to the limo.


(Judai's house)

When Judai and Eva got back home they were shocked to see the door wide open.

"Robbers?" Eva questioned.

Judai ran in and found Buster sleeping on the floor and Alice missing. "I don't think so, everything accounted for, except that Buster is sleeping and Alice is missing, must have gone out to get groceries?" Judai said

"Judai, if that's the case why is the door wide open and unlocked? Alice wouldn't have left the house like this." Eva said.

Judai then went to his phone and called Dan, Runo and Wolf, hoping they'd seen Alice.

"No, she's not here, man." Dan said.

"I have seen her at the restaurant." Runo stated.

"She's not here with." Wolf said in worry. "Judai, I have a bad feeling about this, stay there i'm on my way."

"Right." Judai said as he hung up. "Damn it! I have a feeling I know why she's not here."

"Alisa must have come here and taken Alice, while we were all busy today." Eva said.

"That's right! Fuck! I hate that woman why must she continue to torture Alice?" Judai said in anger.

"Now that's not nice, Judai, didn't Shin or your mother teach you better than that?" Alisa said. Judai and Eva turned to see Alisa and Juri who was holding Alice in the bridal position.

"What did you do to her?!" Judai demanded.

"Just wanted to talk to her." Alisa said, smiling as if nothing was wrong. "I'm famished, can I fix myself some tea?"

Eva growled, she wasn't a maid, but there was nothing they could do until Wolf got here. "Black or herbal tea?"

"Herbal is fine." Alisa smiled.

"Eva…" Judai muttered.

"Look, we can't beat them ok. Our best bet is to play nice and wait for Wolf and others." Eva said as she left to make some tea for everyone.

Judai glared at Alisa with rage, but he swallowed it. "Let's sit down and talk." he then gestured for them to follow him to the living room while Eva made tea.

Minutes later Wolf and the others arrived, Wolf glared at his mother who drank her tea like she had no care in the world.

"Wolf, so glad that you and the others could come." Alisa smiled as she drank her tea.

"Cut the nice and proper act! You kidnapped Alice, if you hurt her!" Wolf growled.

"I told Juri to invite her over to talk to me and if necessary invite her friends over, she resisted, what happened was her own fault." Alisa calmly said.

"Jeez and I wonder why she resisted?" Eva remarked.

"Well anyway, now that all of you are here, you children will be the first to hear about the UBT project." Alisa smile

"UBT Project?" Judai questioned.

"UBT Ultimate Battle Tournament, the world's first-ever Bakugan Tournament!" Alisa said, catching everyone except Juri off guard. "In this tournament Battlers from all over the world will be put to the test to decide that age-old question, who deserves the title ultimate batter and Bakugan?"

"A tournament!" Dan said with excitement.

"I've heard rumors from my parents about this project." Marucho said. "And you even found a way to prevent time from stopping right?"

"That's right." Alisa confirmed. "What good is having a tournament if the audience is frozen in time?"

"Sounds like bullshit to me." Wolf said with his arms crossed.

"Oh Wolf Pup, you hurt me, remember you get your intelligence from both sides of our family so you shouldn't underestimate me or my company which is much better then Dusks." Alisa said.

"What does this have to do with you taking Alice, what did you two talk about?" Runo questioned.

"Why don't you ask Wolf?" Alisa smirked at her son. "You still haven't told Ali or her friends, that goes to show you can't be trusted and I can tell that Ali is starting to mistrust you."

"Tch!" Wolf scoffed, not giving her the satisfaction.

Alisa and Juri finished their tea.

"Thanks for the tea, I'll be leaving now, oh yeah I never said this to you the first time we met but soon all of your Bakugan will be in my possession." Alisa smirked.

"In your dreams!" Judai and Dan said.

Alisa scoffed but smiled. "We'll see after all, at the UBT, my partner will prove once and for all that he is the strongest, isn't that right Helios." Alisa smirked.

Darkus Helios floated by Alisa's head and popped open "You should just give up now, none of you are a match for me." Helios snarled.

"We'll see about that Helios!" Leonidas growled at him.

"Oh the famous bakugan Leonidas, I can't wait to battle you." Alisa smirked. "However I'll save that for the UBT, it will be held in 6 months time, so I suggest you all best start training, not that it'll help."

Alisa laughed like a mad woman as she and Juri left the store.

"That lady really makes me angry!" Runo growled.

"Join the club." Wolf added.

Alice groaned as she began to stir, she saw everyone which she immediately hugged Wolf. "Wolf!" Alice cried.

"It's ok, it's ok." Wolf said, comforting her. "Did she hurt you?"

"She never touched me, all she did was play mind games with me like always." Alice frowned. "I'm not safe anywhere, and you can't always be around me."

"Alice, it's been a long day, let's eat dinner and worry about it later." Judai said, placing a hand on Alice's shoulder, which she nodded.


(Alice's Room)

Not long after dinner Alice found a letter most likely from her mother, she opened it and was confused by what it said.

"Still chasing the truth about your dad Ali? If Wolf and Big sis won't tell you then I will, here's a clue, they say follow your heart back to the start of your life, a building where your heart is away welcomed, a place it would stay."

Alice was confused by the riddle to her, but then thought about it. 'Follow your heart back to the start of your life, a building where your heart is always welcome. I'm starting to think she's really going nuts. Wait! That's it, Heart building where it is always welcomed, home is the heart, which means She wants me to return home.' the truth to her father's death being back home. "I need to get to the Villa, sorry Wolf but I need to find out about father."


(AAAnimus)

Alisa smirked, unknown to Alice and the others, before Juri left with Alice in tow, she secretly placed a hidden camera in her room along with a speaker.

"Excellent, I knew Ali would figure it out." Alisa smirked. "Juri, have you contacted our German branch?"

"Yes, they are instructed to place the clue only when Mistress Alice arrives." Juri said.

"Excellent, soon the whole world will be mine along with my loving daughters, both Chan Lee and Alice will rule by my side." Alisa laughed. "Now commence phase 2."

Juri nodded before leaving the room. While Alisa looked at the photo of her and Alice smiling along with her husband, with Wolf's picture cut out of it, there was no turning back now.
