Are you guys ready for another chapter of Destruction? Kodanova, be ready. Your OC enters this chapter! Enjoy!
So, we've found part of our power. But still, it is not enough quite yet. A few more need to be awakened, but the Destruction is being held at bay for now. Hopefully it's distracted enough to give us the time we need.
Powers locked away inside
Step up to give the gift of divine
There is no knowing what we face
But we know it to be unsafe
The time now to find
Our guiding light
And save everything that is known
To protect our home
Spectra and Bill were before the being, awaiting orders. "Spectra, I believe there is something that needs to be done." Said the being.
"And that is?" Asked Spectra.
"We need your Helios to evolve. But in order to do that, we need a suitable energy source. Do either of you have any ideas as to what we could use?"
"There's only one thing I know of that's powerful enough for that." Said Bill. "Given what I know about Bakugan, that is. It's called a Time Wish. Basically it allows for one to alter history paradox free!"
"I'm assuming it was from your home Reality." Said Spectra. "So how would we get one?"
"That is true." Said the being. "You would have to beat Globnar to obtain one."
"Glob what?" Asked Spectra.
"I'll explain it to you later, kid." Said Bill. "Anyways, it shouldn't be that hard. I destroyed Time Baby, so their defenses are probably weak. We could just waltz in there and"
"Time Baby was never destroyed." Said the being. "He is the Timeline Guardian of Gravity Falls. He was able to see your plan and sent holograms in his place. Thus, we cannot just waltz in there and take one."
"You mean Time Baby was never defeated?" Asked Bill. He turned red with anger. "I hate that overgrown flesh bag! I hate him just as much as I hate that know it all Axolotl!"
"And you will be able to take them out soon." Said the being. "Just be patient and wait for the right time."
"If I may." Said Spectra. The other two beings looked at him. "Perhaps it would be possible for me to win this Globnar. It can't be too terribly difficult." Bill started laughing.
"Are you kidding, kid? There have been so many that failed in Globnar that I can't even count them all! And you think you can just win it? Just like that?"
"Silence." Said the being. Bill and Spectra returned their attention to him. "Spectra brings up a good point. He should be capable of winning Globnar. After all, he does have the ability to copy his opponents and use them as his own. However, Bill makes a good point. Globnar is not something to be trifled with. The losers are typically destroyed, so if you fail at any point you would be gone. Are you sure you are up to the task?"
"Of course, sire. There is nothing that can hold me back from this mission."
"Very well Spectra. You may undertake this task."
"I will not fail you, sire."
"I just thought of something else that can grant the power needed, but it's riskier." Said Bill. "An Infinity Sided Die could give the outcome wanted, but it has infinite other possibilities for what can happen."
"I believe I can swing the odds in our favor." Said the being. "Change of plans, Spectra. You are to go into the Gravity Falls Reality and obtain an infinity die. Understood?"
"Yes sire."
So, what's the plan?" Asked Marucho. "I mean, we don't know what we're walking into."
"I'm not sure." Said Henry. "But whatever it is, we'll come up with it."
"It could be worse!" Said Julie. "After all, we never really had a plan in the past!"
"She's right." Said Kenta. "We've never had a plan in the past against the Devas or the D-Reaper."
"Eh, we don't need a plan. We just need these!" Said Stan, holding up his fists.
"But we had a plan to take out Bill!" Argued McGucket. "And it was a good plan!"
"Yeah, but it failed." Said Wendy. "I still get freaked out when I think about having been a banner in Bill's throne room."
"You think you get freaked out?" Asked Gideon. "Try thinking about the others that got turned into banners! You're symbol is ice, meaning you're cool even when under pressure! It was traumatizing for the rest of us!"
"Ugh, will you please stop arguing? You're giving me a headache." Said Pacifica.
"I must admit, you are quite annoying." Said Keith.
"Hold up, I think there's something up ahead." Said Lopmon. The group slowed, and Lopmon went ahead. She pushed away a few branches, revealing something not too wanted. Wendy got the idea first.
"That smell." She said. She looked through the branches. "The stupid blinding light! No way am I going back in there!"
"In where?" Asked Kenta.
"Yeah, you're not making much sense right now." Said Julie.
"It's Mabeland." Said Wendy. "It was a prison bubble that was created by Bill to keep Mabel contained. It's an evil place!"
"Why is it evil?" Asked Alice.
"It was designed to give anybody within it whatever they want. That's how it keeps them trapped. Having everything you could possibly want, right at your fingertips. Who would want to leave?" Wendy sighed. "If this is a test, then I don't want to take it." Wendy turned to leave when a barrier suddenly came up behind the group. "What the?"
"So, I'm guessing that wasn't supposed to happen." Said Kenta. Writing appeared on the barrier. Then it began to speak.
"A will of Titanium is what you seek, for otherwise your future is bleak. Fight your way through this perilous realm or become truly overwhelm. This is your test for the day, so hold your greatest wants at bay." The writing vanished, but the barrier didn't fall.
"So," started Marucho, "who's going first?" The group was silent.
"Why do we have to do this?" Asked Preyas. "I don't think I want to do this!"
"Oh, relax." Said Renas. "It could be worse."
"Yeah Preyas, he's right." Said Slight. "It could definitely be worse!"
"We should still proceed with caution." Said Alice. "There's no telling what's in there."
"Let's go!" Said Suzie. "I'm getting bored of standing here!" Henry sighed.
"Okay, let's go." He said. He and Suzie walked past the branches.
"Well, let's follow them." Said Julie. "No point is getting separated!" The group nodded in agreement and followed Henry and Suzie into Mabeland, except Wendy.
"I really, really hate this place!" She turned to the barrier. "But I guess I have no choice." She didn't notice the drone above her. Cassie and the others were watching.
"Mabeland was a horrendous place." Said Cassie. "I don't blame her for to wanting to go back in."
"But what choice do they have?" Asked Azion. "It's not like there's another path for them to take!" Chaos looked back to the screen.
"Are we sure about that? Take a look at the screen." Tom looked and noticed that Wendy was glowing.
"Uh, what's happening?" Asked Wendy. The other two looked at the screen.
"You seem to have rejected this trial." Said a voice. "Why?" Cassie recognized it immediately.
"It's Mabeland. The last place I want to be is a trap created by Bill, especially knowing that he's still alive!"
"There are two other choices, but they are far more difficult, especially since you will have no assistance."
"Whatever it is, I'll take it over Mabeland!" Said Wendy.
"Very well then. The two choices will appear before you. One of Bakugan, the other Digimon. It is from the memories of your companions, so choose wisely. But, keep in mind this; you will have no help with their memories, and as such, they don't have your help. This Mabeland was contrived from your memory. You are the only one in your group that faced it once before. Are you prepared to let your friends face it alone?" Wendy looked back at Mabeland, and thought a little. She growled.
"This isn't exactly a fair choice, you know."
"That is the point. Which do you choose?"
Wendy sighed. "If I go with my friends, I will be given the same things I was given before in Mabeland, and I'm not sure I could resist. But, if I don't go with them, then I'm betraying them. They won't have my help."
"And such is the dilemma of Shifters. Oneself or the group. Which do you choose?" Wendy looked to Mabeland again and sighed.
"I have to go with my friends. They'll never get out if I'm not there."
"And that is why you are a Shifter." Said the voice. "You are prepared to make sacrifices for the greater good. So, I grant you this gift." Wendy's hand glowed, and on it shone a six fingered hand. "Now go. Help them." The voice fell silent and Wendy turned to Mabeland.
"Here I go." She said. She ran into Mabeland, but didn't see her companions. "Hello?" She called.
"Over here!" Called Marucho. Wendy looked at one of the buildings to see Marucho inside. She ran over and opened the door.
"What were you doing in there?" She asked.
"As soon as we went in, someone, or more rather something, convinced the rest of the group to follow him. I was almost tricked too, but I remembered that you said about this place. That thing told us of a way to defeat the Destruction without fighting. But, it said we had to follow him to learn about it." Wendy gasped.
"This is bad." She said. "But that still doesn't answer the question about why you're in here."
"I pretended to be tricked, but then ran into here to hide from him. Otherwise, the rest of the group would've brought me with." Marucho looked in the direction they went. "It tricked everybody. Even the Bakugan. We're helpless here."
"Why are we helpless?" Asked Wendy.
"Because they can't break free!" Said Marucho. "When I tried to persuade them out of it, they told me they were following along just to see. They didn't realize the hold already on them! And what's worse, when I reminded them of what you said, they asked me who you were! They're going to lose their minds!" Marucho's eyes began watering.
"Whoa, whoa, easy there buddy." Said Wendy. Marucho looked at her. "I can understand the feeling, I've been where you are right now. But you know what?"
"What?"
"I've always pushed through it in the end. Now, are we going to save them or sit in our own self pity?" Marucho got up and cleared his eyes.
"We're going to save them!" He said. "But how do we do that?"
Suzie was following the being in front of them. "This is so much fun!" She said, looking around at everything Mabeland had to offer.
"She is right." Said Kenta. "This place does seem kinda cool."
"Something feels slightly off, though." Said Lopmon. "Does anybody else feel it?"
"Yeah, I feel it too." Said Terriermon. "But I wonder what's wrong."
"Where are we going anyway?" Asked McGucket. "We've been walking for, oh, why can't I remember?"
"Relax, we're almost there." Said the being.
"But why are you helping us?" Asked Julie. "I mean, not that we don't appreciate it."
"I'm helping you because I can. That's the entire thing behind Mabeland!"
"Well, whatever your reason, I'm glad that we finally have some help." Said Alice. The being smiled mischievously.
"Alice, I don't think we should listen to him." Whispered Hydranoid.
"I know, but if he can deliver, why not at least look?" Whispered Alice.
"When we first entered, I thought the light was blinding." Said Pacifica. "But now, it seems to have dimmed. And this place is interesting, to say the least."
"Yeah, it's a child's dream." Said Gideon. "But why do I feel something off?"
"I'm feeling jumpy." Said Preyas. "And where's Marucho?"
"Who?" Asked Kenta.
"I still don't like this place." Said Stand. "It's too bright."
"Why did he forget Marucho?" Wondered Preyas. "It's like this place is changing us!"
"You look worried, Preyas." Said Renas. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Said Slight. "Relax a little. Everything is fine!"
"If that's true, then where's Marucho?"
"Who's Marucho?" Asked Slight.
"See! I knew something was wrong!" Said Preyas. "I'm going to go find Marucho! He'll know how to save you all!" Preyas began floating off when he was suddenly blocked off. The barrier preventing him from moving extended around the others, blocking them in.
"Hey! What gives?" Asked Kenta.
"I knew this place was evil!" Said Stan. He punched the barrier and to grab his hand in pain. "What's that thing made of?"
"Solidified rainbows." Said the being. "Now, as for all of you. The true reason I was taking you was because I am going to give all of you your deepest desires. That is the spirit of Mabeland, to give people what they want before they want it!"
"Yeah right." Said Julie. "As if you could actually give us what we want!" Wendy and Marucho peeked around a corner to see this transpire.
"Oh no! They're caught." Said Wendy.
"What do we do?" Asked Marucho.
"I don't know." Said Wendy.
"Go ahead and try us." Said Henry. "I doubt you'll be able to give even one of us what we"
"A puppy!" Said Suzie. There was indeed a puppy on her, licking her face.
"My goal is to give you all things that are irresistible." Said the being. "And one of you is already done. Now, as for the rest."
"We need to make our move." Said Wendy. She stepped around the corner. "Hey! You! I got a few words for you!" The being looked at her, then appeared right before her.
"If you've got something to say, then say it." Said the being. Something honked behind her. "Or would you rather hang out with them?" Wendy looked back to see the group.
"Come on Wendy! Let's go blow up the school again!"
"And stick two plungers on the principal's head!" Wendy looked back and forth between the two, her 'friends' and the being. Marucho continued to watch.
"Oh man. This is bad!" He thought. "At this rate, I'll be the only one left, and then it's only a matter of time before I'm caught up in it too!" Wendy sighed, then steeled her resolve. She looked at the being.
"If you think I'm going to fall for that trick again, you're dead wrong!" She tackled the being, and the group behind her vanished.
"You shouldn't have done that." Said the being. "Guards, seize her!" Two giant waffles with arms appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Wendy. Marucho gasped as everybody else watched on. "Take her to the highest point, lock the door and recycle the key!"
"Yes sir. Taking her to Her room." The two waffles began walking Wendy away.
"No!" Said Wendy. "I will not go quietly!" She broke one hand free and punched the face out of one of the waffles. Then, she turned to the other one and punched it too. She ran at the being, but then froze in place.
"Time for me to make my deepest desire come true." He said. "Mine is to make your companions in their prison to turn against you and ally with me!" A soft glow overcame everybody excluding Marucho and Wendy.
"No!" Shouted Wendy. The glow faded, and the barrier fell. Everybody within it looked at the being.
"What should we do with her?" Asked Henry.
"Destroy her." Said the being. "She has no place in Mabeland."
"On it." Said Terriermon. He ran at her and slapped her with his ears by turning in the air.
"Guys, stop! It's me!" Said Wendy.
"Me who?" Asked Kenta. MarineAngemon blew some heart shaped bubbles at Wendy, catching her in one. Wendy grabbed a weapon she always had on her, a hunting knife.
"You guys might think you have the upper hand, but my friends know that I'm part of a family that lives to survive in the wild!" Wendy popped the bubbled using the knife, and charged. Preyas watched.
"Oh man! This isn't good! Wendy can't hold off everybody!" Then he thought of something. "Wait, why wasn't I affected?" He noticed Marucho. Knowing that being quiet was a good thing, he slowly floated over to him. Marucho looked at him.
"Preyas! I'm so glad to see you again!" Said Marucho.
"Same here, Marucho buddy! But we've got bigger problems to worry about! Wendy won't be able to hold her own forever!"
"I know, but I don't know what I can do to help." A roar resounded around the entire place.
"What was that?" Asked Keith.
"I don't know." Said the being. Another roar sounded, and a building toppled. Some creatures flowed out of it, trying to get away.
"Freedom!" Said the thing that toppled the building. "Freedom to do what I want!" Another building toppled, revealing Vexos Dragonomon.
"What is that thing?" Asked Wendy.
"It looks like a Bakugan!" Said Alice.
"Then let's stop that thing before it wrecks all of Mabeland!" Said Alice. "Bakugan, Brawl! Hydranoid, Stand!"
"As you call!" Said Hydranoid.
"Ability Activate! Trident of Doom!" Hydranoid fired at the Vexos Dragonomon, but his attack did nothing.
"What?" Asked Hydranoid. Vexos Dragonomon punched him, sending him flying into another building. He crashed to the ground.
"Hydranoid!"
"That power!" Said Julie. She turned to face Vexos Dragonomon. "Big meanie! Bakugan, Brawl! Gorem, Stand!" Gorem rose to an equal height and prepared his hammer.
"You're not going to like this!" He said.
"Ability Activate!" Said Julie. "Grand Impact!" Gorem launched his hammer at Vexos Dragonomon, but he caught it with ease.
"But how?" Asked Gorem. Vexos Dragonomon threw the hammer back at twice the original power, slamming Gorem into Hydranoid. Both returned to ball form.
"No!" Yelled the being. "You are ruining my plans! Be gone!" The being willed for Vexos Dragonomon to vanish, but nothing happened. "Why isn't Mabeland responding to my wishes?"
"More power!" Yelled Vexos Dragonomon. It hit itself in the chest and roared. Its size went up a bit.
"Why does it look familiar?" Asked Keith. Marucho ran into the open.
"I don't know much about this place, but I don't think it take that guy rampaging!" He said. "You need to release them so that we can come up with a plan!"
"Never!" Said the being. "I will never break my control over" he got squished by Vexos Dragonomon. When he lifted his foot, all that was left was black smoke. The spell left everybody.
"What just happened?" Asked Henry.
"And where did the puppy go?" Asked Suzie.
"It was never real." Said Lopmon. "We've been tricked!"
"And now we have that guy up there!" Said Wendy. The group looked up to see Vexos Dragonomon.
"When did he get here?" Asked Kenta.
"You know him?" Asked Julie.
"Yeah. It's a long story, but basically Vexos Dragonomon is the opposite of Fusion Dragonomon. An evil version." Something clicked in Keith's head.
"An evil version." He said. "All too similar to Drago when I had him all that time ago."
"You can't mean" started Julie.
"Yes. Vexos Dragonoid." Said Keith. "I remember it all too well, and that thing is just awakening memories that should've stayed buried!"
"Let's show him what we've got!" Said Helios.
"Hold on!" Said Marucho. "We can't fight him, not with Bakugan!"
"Why not?" Asked Helios.
"If you recall, Bakugan and Digimon can't fight one another." Said Renas. "I'm the only one here capable of fighting both." Helios growled.
"Are you saying that I am incapable? Are you!?" He turned to Keith. "Let's prove them wrong!" Gideon noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"Who's that?" He asked. The group looked to see someone running up to Vexos Dragonomon.
"I'll show you to invade!" She said. She approached Vexos Dragonomon. "All I need to do is hit the exact spot!" Cassie's drone watched.
"No no no!" Said Azion. "If she hits him is a weak spot, he'll just get more powerful!"
"More powerful?" Asked Cassie. "What do you mean?"
"In my trial, every time I hit him in a weak spot, he grew more powerful. And she's going to make the same mistake I did!" The girl hit Vexos Dragonomon in the foot, but nothing happened.
"What?" She asked. "But that's not possible! He should've toppled from that!" The Vexos Dragonomon roared again. "I guess I'll have to work harder to protect this home of mine!"
"Home?" Asked Wendy. "Who could live in this place?"
"Whoever she is, she better move!" Said Marucho. He grabbed Renas. "Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Rise Aquos Renas!" Renas rose up, ready for battle.
"Time for me to finish you!" He said. "Diamond Rain!" Small projectiles flew at Vexos Dragonomon, and a few hit him in the chest, a weak spot. He roared again.
"This isn't working!" Said Marucho.
"No duh!" Said Henry. He looked at Terriermon.
"Hey! Who are you to fire like that?" Asked the girl.
"You ready for this? We haven't done it in a while."
"Always ready!" Said Terriermon. Henry gripped his D-Power.
"Alright!" He said. His Digivice glowed as the Biomerge began. He and Terriermon combined into MegaGargomon and they stood as tall as Vexos Dragonomon.
"A Bio-Merge?" Asked the girl.
"Let's do this!"
"Ready!" Said Terriermon. Their weapon ports opened up, and began firing. Large amounts of dust kicked up. When it settled, Vexos Dragonomon was larger. He roared again.
"More power! I want more!"
"This is all too similar to that time." Said Keith. "And now, because of what I am these days, I know what it was that I did. And there is only one thing that I know stopped me." He grabbed a yellow card from his pocket, one that Atom dropped when he vanished for his trial. "This card was one of the few things capable of harming Drago and Leo when I had them. It's time for it to be used again." He went up to Marucho. "Marucho, I think you need to use this card."
"What card?" Asked Marucho. Keith handed him the Unitris Ability. "Wait, an Unitris Ability? Can't these only be used when a Forbidden Card is in play?" Vexos Dragonomon roared again.
"More power!" Yelled Vexos Dragonomon. "Dianos Cocos!" Purple chains wrapped around him, and were absorbed. He grew slightly larger.
"I guess that's close enough." Said Marucho. The girl looked at the beings fighting.
"I know that he will fall if I hit him in the right spot! Everybody has a weak point!" The girl dashed in again.
"Don't do it!" Yelled Julie. The girl hit Dragonomon in the foot again, sending more power through him. She stood there stunned.
"Why isn't this working?" Vexos Dragonomon raised his foot.
"Get out of there!" Yelled Keith. The girl didn't move.
"DigiAbility Activate!" Yelled Marucho. "Unitris Trap!" Renas generated a small cage in his hand.
"Take this!" He yelled. He threw the cage at Vexos Dragonomon and it grew to his size. It slammed down around him. Vexos Dragonomon grabbed the bars and began shaking them, to no effect. The girl was just on the edge of the cage, eyes wide. She was breathing heavily. Alice noticed her and ran over.
"You've got to move!" She yelled. "Go! Get away from him!" The girl looked at her, then slowly got up. Instead of running away from Vexos Dragonomon, she ran towards him.
"What are you doing?" Asked McGucket. "Even I'm not insane enough to go after him!"
"We can't even help!" Said Gideon. "I feel less than useless." The cage vibrated.
"I'll topple you!" Yelled the girl. She hit Vexos Dragonomon in the foot again, only to make him more powerful.
"More." He said. "More!" He grabbed the cage and his eyes began to glow. "I will have my freedom!" He began shaking the bars again, and they began to warp and bend. Then, they broke. Marucho took a step back in fear.
"This, this can't be!" He said. Vexos Dragonomon hit Renas, sending her backwards, defeated. Then he turned his attention to MegaGargomon, hitting them and separating them. Henry hit the ground first, then Terriermon landed on him.
"He's too powerful!" Said Terriermon.
"There has to be a weak spot!" Yelled the girl.
"Okay, that's enough!" Said Keith. He ran towards her and grabbed her.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"Stopping you." Said Keith. "The more you hit his weak spots, the stronger he gets!" The girl gasped.
"That's not possible! You're lying!"
"If you don't get out of there, you're going to be attacked!" Warned Alice.
"Let go of me!" Said the girl. Wendy ran up.
"No, it's time for you to stop!" She said. She began pulling the girl away.
"You're lying! He can't be getting stronger from me hitting his weak spots! It's just not possible!" She continued thrashing as Wendy dragged her away. Keith looked up to see Vexos Dragonomon about to stomp on him. He jumped out of the way at the last second, barely getting away.
"This is insanity! Now I know what Atom felt like when I had Drago and Leo!"
"I think we need to step it up a bit!" Said Wendy. "I can't keep her held down forever!" Wendy had her in a headlock, but she was trying to slip out. Cassie's drone watched from above.
"They've got some serious problems!" Said Azion. "There's nothing they can do against that thing!"
"They'll think of something." Said Chaos. "They always have in the past."
"Well they better do it quick!" Said Tom.
"So, this is where you all are hiding out, eh?" Asked something. The four present looked back to see a being cloaked in shadow. "I suppose I must thank you for leading me to something of this power. For that, I shall spare your lives. However, your friends are doomed."
"Hey, who are you?" Asked Cassie.
"Me?" Asked the being. "I'll spare you my life story. Just know this: I'm the last thing you want to ever meet."
"The Destruction." Said Azion.
"Quite right. And now, I'll be taking the prize you created." The being vanished, leaving them alone. Cassie looked back at the screen fearfully. The being materialized in front of everybody else.
"Who are you?" Asked Marucho.
"It's him!" Said Keith. "The one who forced me to be Spectra!"
"Indeed." Said the Destruction. "Now, I'll take my prize." He looked at the Vexos Dragonomon. "I summon thee to assist me! You will gain power unrivaled, and defeat those who tried to seal you away!" The Vexos Dragonomon looked at him.
"What must I do for Freedom?"
"Join me in destroying all Realities!" The Vexos Dragonomon roared.
"Freedom!" He yelled. He grabbed the Destruction. "Do it! Do it now!"
"Very well." The Destruction snapped his fingers, and the two vanished. Everybody watched it happen. The girl gasped.
"What the heck just happened?" Everybody looked at her as Wendy let her go.
"Well, I think these two are probably best to explain it." Said Keith, signifying Henry and Kenta.
"To be honest, I don't really know." Said Henry. "But I do know this. You were being incredibly foolish!"
"How so?" Asked the girl.
"Every time you hit him in a 'weak spot'," started Kenta, "he got more powerful! You should've stopped when we told you to!"
"I don't listen to others." Said the girl.
"Well, maybe it's time for you too!" Said Suzie. "I'm Suzie! Who are you?"
"Cindy." Said Cindy. She sighed. "Why am I doing this again?"
"To get you to open up a little!" Said Suzie.
"I lost that ability months ago." Said Cindy. "It was the only way to keep Mabeland from taking me."
"How long have you been here?" Asked Wendy.
"I've been here for about two years."
"Two years?" Asked Wendy. "We didn't even last an hour before we were entrapped!"
"By cutting yourself off from everybody, it is possible to hide your innermost desires." Said Cindy.
"So, how did you get here?" Asked Julie.
"I was walking home one day when I saw a strange, white stone on the ground. I picked it up and it turned red. Then I was transported here." She sighed. "I miss my family." Someone watched from nearby.
"I believe you have done enough, Cindy." Said the second shifter. "I give you half of my power. Use it wisely." An orb appeared in front of the second Shifter, slowly growing and gaining power. "May you have success where I failed in this mission. The more you open up, the more power you will unlock." The orb compressed into a tiny space, then flew off towards Cindy. It entered her chest. "May you find the key hidden within." The second Shifter looked in the distance. "Three remain. May you all unlock your powers." Something shook in Cindy's pocket.
"What's the stone doing now?" She asked. She took it out of her pocket to see gold lines appear on it. It shook again, then opened.
"Where am I?" Asked the tiny being. Cindy yelped.
"What the? A talking rock!" The tiny being looked around.
"Who are all of you? My memory is so foggy, I can't remember anything. The only thing I know is my name, Magnaliger."
"Yet another Bakugan we've never heard of." Said Keith.
"What's a Bakugan?" Asked Cindy. Magnaliger glowed, and then Cindy's wrist did. A Pyrus Bakumeter appeared on it. "And what's this?"
"It seems that there's more to this story than we thought." Said Henry. A Digi-Port opened above Cindy, and something fell on her.
"What the heck is it now?" She asked.
"I don't know." Said the being that just fell on her. It looked like a smaller version of a crocodile. "Who are you? Why am I here?"
"Who are you?" Asked Kenta.
"Crocolomon." Said Crocolomon. "And I'm not sure why I'm here, but something's happening." Cindy's pocket glowed, and she pulled out a diamond shaped D-Power and a card, showing a Pyrus symbol.
"What are these?" Asked Cindy.
"It's a D-Power and a Pyrus card." Said Henry. "Crocolomon must be able to change into a Pyrus Bakugan!" The area began to glow.
"What's going on?" Asked Stan.
"I wish I knew!" Said McGucket.
"This light is even worse than Mabeland's!" Said Pacifica. All of them vanished, then Mabeland did. Cassie's drone was all that was left.
"They vanished, just like the others." Said Azion. "But why?"
"Who knows?" Asked Cassie. She directed the drone to fly up, then noticed something. "Hold on, what's that?" She angled the drone to see three more glowing points.
"Looks like their trials are far from over." Said Chaos. "Let's hope they're up to the task."
Okay, so we've reappeared where we started. And if that wasn't weird enough, each group brought an additional person with them, and they don't seem to like each other. They might have a history together, but I certainly hope not! But then a voice shows us their past, and gives an ultimatum. Either they get along, or everything is destroyed. We have to repair a friendship!
