Hey everyone! It's me sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know, I suck with updating, but hey, at least I am! Anyhow, disclaimer time.

Enjoy!
We were sitting in the stands in the arena. Good thing we managed to get inside.
"Welcome Brawlers to today's Bakugan Battle Tournament! We're counting down the seconds to the first throw. Who's ready to beat the heat, and who will be smacked down in cold defeat?" asked the announcer
"Go Pyrus Verias!" exclaimed a boy
This one looked like the Monkey King to me.
"Ability Activate! Verias Siba!" exclaimed the boy
"Extinguish Flame! Ability Activate! Darkus Driver!" exclaimed Ace
That sent the monkey packing.
"Bakugan, Brawl! Subterra Fly Beetle, Stand!" exclaimed another boy
This was one big beetle.
"Ability Activate! Wind Power – Soaring Strike Shot!" exclaimed Shun
That sent the overgrown beetle packing.
"Hey! No fair!" exclaimed the second boy
"Ooh, burn! That's the way the Bakugan brawl. These mysterious masked players pack a serious punch! They're the team on everyone's lips, the Bakugan Brawlers!" exclaimed the announcer
"If they're the Bakugan Brawlers, what were you guys Dan?" I asked
"Very funny, but seriously, this is killing me. I should be out there battling. I can't even bear to watch this." Said Dan
"Stay focused Dan. You're important to the plan." Said Drago
"Why do they get all the fun?" asked Dan
"Uh, Master Dan, look." Said Baron
He was pointing at the dimension controller.
"Unbelievable." Said Dan
"The dimension controller." Said Baron
"The key to our mission." Said Mira
*Flashback*
"I stole these diagrams the last time I snuck into the city. According to this, the power generated from the Bakugan Battles is absorbed inside the arena, then transmitted through the outside world through a controller." Said Shun
"So, what's the point of that?" asked Dan
"There's an awful lot of power generated by Bakugan Battles." Said Mira
"And if that power isn't released, the controller would get overloaded." Said Baron
"So, if the Bakugan Battle still feed power into the controller…" started Ace
"Exactly, and if we can block the transmission, right here, the power will back up building and building…" started Shun
"Until we get to my favorite part, the boom. In other words, we have scrap metal from the controller." I said
"Then we must take advantage of the upcoming tournaments." Said Drago
"Really? That's now." Said Dan
As if on cue, some screens appeared.
'The Battle of the Bakugan is about to begin. Will all competitors please register? Don't miss your chance to brawl with the best!'
The screens disappeared
"Okay everyone, we need to move fast. We'll have break up into two teams. Two people will battle together in the tournament, and rest of us will sneak inside and find the controller." Said Mira
"I call the battle! Drago and I will fight for the resistance!" exclaimed Dan
"No fair! I wanna fight! You always get the battles Master Dan." Said Baron
"But I called it first." Said Dan
Everyone began to argue, and I had it.
"That's enough!" I exclaimed
I then pulled out seven Speed Spells and two Synchro Monsters, more specifically Flamvell Uruquizas and Ancient Flamvell Deity, and then I scrambled them up.
"Okay, look we'll draw cards. Whoever gets the Speed Spell isn't brawling." I said
Everyone drew their cards, and Dan must've drawn a speed spell, because he screamed in agony.
*End Flashback*
"You're right, I lost the draw. But those two are one odd match-up." Said Dan
"I agree." Said Drago
"Ability Activate! Darkus Driver!" exclaimed Ace
"That's it, now I'll block you with Darkus Anti-Ability." Said the boy
"Continuous Dance – Phoenix Position!" exclaimed Shun
"As you wish!" exclaimed Ingram
That got the Freezer, but Percival lost control of his ability.
"Percival!" exclaimed Ace
Looks like those two were brawling each other instead of the other team.
"Bakugan, Brawl! Pyrus Jelldon, Stand!" exclaimed the boy
"Bakugan, Brawl! Subterra Rafflesian, Stand!" exclaimed another boy
"Go!" the boys exclaimed in unison
"Ability Activate. Tri-Gunner." Said Ace
"Ability Activate! Wind Power – Soaring Strike Shot!" exclaimed Shun
And they won this round.
"Once again the battle goes to the Bakugan Brawlers!' exclaimed the announcer
And it looks like they were squabbling again
"Those two guys, they're making me nervous." Said Mira
"Shun and Ace are like fire and ice, you know? Their fighting styles are different." Said Baron
"ARGH! This is driving me completely crazy! Let me trade places with them. They can destroy the controller." Said Dan
"I think you need to control yourself." I said as I activated the card Enemy Controller
He was surprised when he saw the controller in my hand and the wiring in his back.
"Hey! What's this?-! Whatever it is, I'm going!" exclaimed Dan
I pressed a button, and he punched himself in the face.
"What the heck?" asked Dan
"This is Enemy Controller. If used in a duel, you can control your opponent's monster, or switch their position. Right now, I'm thinking about putting you out of commission. Besides, get a grip, everyone's gonna know about the plan at this rate." I said
"Good, Marucho is up next." Said Mira
"Moving onto the singles division, let's welcome another newcomer to the tournament! The Masked Brawler!" exclaimed the announcer
Looks like his opponent is a Darkus Brawler.
"Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Darkus Goblinball!" exclaimed Marucho's opponent
"I'm counting on you. Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Aquos Wontu!" exclaimed Marucho
"This tournament has taken a turn for the terminally adorable!" exclaimed the announcer
Wontu looked scared when it saw Goblinball, and then made the puppy-dog eyes. Oh, the puppy dog eyes.
"Whoa! Goblin is moved to tears. He can't bring himself to attack, and who can blame him? That Wontu is so cute! I bet that Goblin wants to pick him up and give him a big hug." Said the announcer
Yeah, check your eyes first. Wontu's carrying eye drops.
"Ability Activate! Rapid Balloon!" exclaimed Marucho
Man, Wontu's getting big.
"Whoa! That is one big baby! There's just more of him to love!" exclaimed the announcer
"Okay Wontu! Time to do your stuff!" exclaimed Marucho
Looks like Wontu was about to attack, but… when it fell onto its back, it looked like that wasn't part of the plan.
"Unfortunately, the Masked Brawler is disqualified for losing control of his Bakugan." Said the announcer
Apparently Marucho wasn't too happy. I know how that feels. That happened to me once or twice when I first started.
"Aw, that's gotta hurt!" exclaimed Dan
"You can say that again." Baron and I said in unison
Pretty soon we got inside the arena, and let me tell you, this wasn't going to be a cakewalk. Marucho opened the door for us, thankfully.
"Coast is clear everybody." Said Marucho
"Thanks. Good work Marucho." Said Mira
"Yeah, good work indeed." Said Dawn
"That was an amazing performance in the arena earlier Marucho." Said Dan
"Yeah. Thanks for getting us inside Baron." Said Jack
"Yeah, we totally owe ya one for that one." I said
"I hacked into their systems and downloaded their floor plans. Ah, oops." Said Baron
"We must stay focused." Said Drago
We then heard cheering from above. Guess someone won their battle.
"Let's get going." Said Dan
We eventually headed into an area that was more guarded than Jack's dressing room, and yes, I mean Jack-ass Atlas. Maybe it's because the Vexos were here.
"There are more guards than we expected." Said Drago
"Whenever the Vexos show up, security is super tight." Said Baron
"Should we turn back?" asked Elfin
"No! We can't stop now." Said Marucho
"This is our chance." Said Dan
"Hey, what are you doing here?" asked a male voice
We looked behind us, and saw some guards.
"How did you guys get in here?" asked guard one
"Authorized personal only. Show us your ID cards." Said guard number two
An idea hit me, and I was gonna regret it. Time to go Jack Atlas fangirl mode.
"We… lost our ID cards." Said Baron
"We left them in our other pants." Said Marucho
It was clear that Dan, Baron, Marucho, Jack, and Dawn were beginning to panic as the guards stared us down.
"Tee-hee-hee. Oh please! Tell the Vexos that their number one fans are here!" I exclaimed
"Oh my gosh guys! They're really here, aren't they? Maybe they can give us some autographs, or maybe they'll sign my jacket. The Vexos totally rock!" exclaimed Mira as she began to drag Dan and Baron away
"Or maybe even better, they'll give us some brawling tips! The Vexos are so cool!" I exclaimed as I dragged Dawn and Jack away
Marucho was following us, and when we were out of sight, we all gave a sigh of relief.
"Wow. That was quick thinking Sakura." Said Baron
"Believe me, every time I go into fangirl mode, I feel like I want to vomit afterwards. 'Ooh, the Vexos totally rock'. Blech!" I exclaimed
"You can say that again." Said Dawn
"Please, every time I go fangirl mode, I think back to Jack-Ass Atlas." I said
"You met Jack Atlas?" asked Dan
"Met and know. Can't say I like it." I said
"That's so cool!" exclaimed Dan
"Get real. Jack's nothing but a rotten lowlife double-crosser who will even put his friend in danger just to get what he wants." I said
"What do you mean?" asked Marucho
"Jack was my friend. He's from the Satellite Sector, but when he came to the city, he stole a prototype duel runner from my friend who's still there, and his best card. I haven't forgiven him ever since." I said
"Wow, sounds like you two go deep." Said Baron
"Yeah, and he's the best turbo duelist in Japan!" exclaimed Dan
"Second best. I can turbo duel circles around his deck." I said
"Is that true?" asked Jack
"Yep. But I don't want some title to show how good of a duelist I am. I don't need that." I said
We then heard a door open and some voices. Soon we saw Mylene and Shadow pass us.
"The Vexos." Said Dan
"Stay cool Dan." Said Mira
"Do you have anything to report?" asked Gus
"Nothing unusual. Few of your fans snuck backstage though." Said guard number one
"Really, what fans?" asked Spectra
"Should I check on it?" asked Gus
"Don't bother, it's nothing." Said Spectra
"So Spectra's here? I can't pass up that opportunity. I'm gonna challenge him!" exclaimed Dan
"Not on my watch! Now come on, they probably heard you." I said as I covered Dan's mouth and dragged him away
Soon after that fiasco, we were running top speed to the controller.
"Way to go Dan." Said Baron
"Keep it together! If we get caught now, it's over, and I for one do not want to get caught!" exclaimed Marucho
"Okay! I'm sorry!" exclaimed Dan
After a while, we heard some cheering from our end.
"I hope that's good cheering." Said Dan
Marucho got out his communicator.
"Look." Said Marucho
"Huh? I'd say it's bad cheering." Said Baron
"What are those guys doing out there?" asked Dan
We then heard more cheering.
"Stop stalling and start brawling." Said Dan
Baron and Marucho were watching the brawl on his communicator. Meanwhile I was trying to detect if there were any guards in our proximity.
"Shadow Echo reduces an opponent's power level by 200 a piece. It's a special ability only Ingram can use." Said Marucho
"This match isn't over yet!" exclaimed Baron
Nothing, nothing, nothing. I looked back at the screen just in time to see Ace and Shun win.
"I knew they could do it!" exclaimed Dan
"And now it's our turn." Said Mira
"Right." Said Dan
We all began running to get to the controller. I swear, these hallways go on forever! We soon hit a three-way road.
"Aw snap! Which way is it to the controller?" asked Dan
"Let me check." Said Baron
He brought up his communicator device.
"I think it's this way." Said Baron
"We got to hurry. Shun and Ace's battle will be starting any minute now." Said Dan
He then started running off
"Dan!" exclaimed Mira
"Hey, wait for me!" exclaimed Baron
"Hey! Don't leave us behind!" I exclaimed
"What she said!" exclaimed Dawn
"Hey! What's the rush?-!" exclaimed Jack
After a while, we finally noticed that someone was missing.
"Hey, where's Marucho?" asked Mira
"Should I go back for him?" asked Baron
"Nah, he was never any good at marathons. We'll get him on the way back." Said Dan
We entered another room, and we saw a bunch of Bakugan in their sphere form! The worse thing was, they were in some kind of stasis tube.
"Bakugan?" wondered Dan
"What are they doing in there?" wondered Baron
"They've been put into a state of suspension." Said Mira
"It's worse than I expected." Said Drago
"No! The Bakugan must be free right now! Wake up! Wake up everybody!" exclaimed Dan
"Dan, it's no use." Said Drago
"He's right. We won't be able to free them until we've destroyed the dimension controller." Said Mira
"Fine. Then let's go. I can't stand watching this." Said Dan
The lights suddenly turned on.
"Huh?" wondered Dan
Guards then entered the room
"You! Freeze!" exclaimed a guard
"This is a restricted area." Said a second guard
"What are you kids doing here?" asked the third guard
It looked like they were holding some kind of rod that I had a bad feeling would hurt, bad. They soon took us to another room.
"Kids or no kids, you intruders are traitors, and will be treated that way." Said guard number one
"So why don't you just confess?" asked guard number two
"To what? Trying to free the Bakugan and give them back their home?" asked Mira
"Enough!" the second guard exclaimed while holding the rod in front of Mira
There was the sound of cheering and we all turned to see the screens.
"Looks like this battle is over before it's even started. The Vexos have slammed the Bakugan Brawlers right out of the game." Said the announcer
I gritted my teeth in annoyance.
"Well, there's a big surprise, right kids? There's no one who can beat the Vexos." Said the first guard
"We're gonna prove you wrong!" exclaimed Dan
"Oh?" asked guard number two
"And we're gonna tell you this. Everything that you believe in is a lie." I said
Twilight then jumped onto my shoulder.
"Open your eyes fools!" exclaimed Twilight
The guards were shocked.
"New Vestroia belongs to the Bakugan." Said Drago
"We're fighting to free them." Said Sunrise
"And their land." Said Red Eyes
"Talking Bakugan?" wondered the first guard
"That's impossible." Said the second guard
"No it isn't." said Nemus
"We're living evidence." Said Wilda
"Wake up. You can't deny this anymore." Said Dawn
"Do what's right." Said Baron
"Help us free the Bakugan." Said Jack
The guards looked unsure, but then there was a bang, and Marucho, quite literally, dropped in, onto the guards!
"Oh boy, that's gotta hurt." Said Elfin
She then flew over to Marucho.
"Did I survive? Sorry guys got a bit lost." Said Marucho
"Good work Marucho!" exclaimed Dan
"Now get us out of here!" I exclaimed
Marucho untied the ropes around my wrists first, and I rubbed them to get the blood flowing again. After circulation was restored, I returned my duel disk to normal size, and cut the ropes off Dawn, Jack, and Mira. Marucho had already untied Baron and Dan.
"We're running out of time! Ace and Shun won't be able to keep the battle going much longer!" exclaimed Dan
We ran for a while, and uh-oh, more guards.
"There they are." Said one guard
"Stop them!" exclaimed another
I then noticed a cart right next to me. I may not be good in physics, but I do know that weight plus velocity equals crash.
"Excuse me! Coming through!" I exclaimed
They fell over like a bunch of bowling pins.
"Let go! Let go of my foot!" a Vestal guard with Marucho on his leg exclaimed
"Let me go!" Another Vestal Guard exclaimed with Baron holding onto him
"Dan, Dawn, go ahead, we'll hold them back." I said
"Here are the plans! Now go!" exclaimed Baron
"Leave this to us!" exclaimed Jack
"Dawn, don't worry, I'm counting on you." I said
"It's all up…" Dawn started
"To us!" exclaimed Dan
They both started running down the hallway. We're counting on you. Both of you.
Commercial Break: Dawn: Hang tight, we'll be back in a flash!
Sunrise: Welcome back Brawlers!
Dawn's P.O.V.
Dan and I had to sneak past some rooms with guards inside, but it wasn't so bad, I mean, they were too busy watching the Vexos lose.
"Are we going the right way?" asked Drago
"How should we know?" asked Dan
We finally entered another room, and my Spider senses were tingling. Yes, I'm a dork; I can't help it if I like something.
"I think we found it." Said Dan
He then turned on the holo-map.
"It checks out." I said
"This is gonna be easy! What'd I tell ya?" asked Dan
"Now, let's think. If I were a reverse power switch, I'd be… over there!" I exclaimed pointing to the switch
"There it is." Said Drago
"It can't be this easy." Said Sunrise
"Sure it can!" exclaimed Dan
He ran up to the dimensional controller, but stopped when he saw a bunch of lasers, and what's worse; they cut right through Baron's communicator!
"A security system, pretty impressive too. We'll have to find a way through, somehow. This is gonna take a while." Said Dawn
"We can't turn back now. The others are counting on us." Said Drago
I pulled out my communicator and scanned the security system in front of me. I had to project a course so a small object could pass through safely. I had just finished the calculations when we heard someone banging on the door.
"Open up or we'll bust the door down!" exclaimed a Vestal guard
"What do we do now Drago?" asked Dan
"You two can't get through but Sunrise and I can." Said Drago
"Wait, you mean we throw you guys in? I may have the calculations done, but what if our trajectories are off?" I asked with worry in my voice
"You two won't miss. We trust you." Said Drago
"Then let's do this, for the Bakugan." I said
"This is where all the practice pays off." Said Dan
"Right!" Drago and Sunrise exclaimed in unison
The door then opened. It's now or never.
"Last chance!" Dan exclaimed while throwing Drago
"Let's do this!" I exclaimed
We threw them at the dimension controller switch, and they did it! We did it!
"Score!" I exclaimed
"Perfect shot!" exclaimed Dan
We then watched as the dimension controller was beginning to short circuit.
Sakura's P.O.V.
I had hanged back to fight a few Vestal guards, when Leonidas, Lunar, and Twilight all managed to get out of their ball forms.
"Pick on someone your own size." Leonidas said in a menacing voice
"Leo, Lunar, get moving. We can't let the others see your forms in this time period." I said
"Got it. Let's go Leonidas." Said Lunar
"You said it." Said Leonidas
They flew off, and Dawn and the others came. I bet this was time for our big entrance as the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance. There was pandemonium in the stadium, and people were trying to run away.
"Wait. You have nothing to be afraid of. The Bakugan are living intelligent beings." Said Mira
"She speaks the truth." Said Drago
The Vestals were confused with the fact that Drago just spoke.
"The Bakugan deserve their freedom. They are our friends." Said Dan
It seemed like the Vestals were really listening to what we were saying. Then the dimension controller short circuited, and a part of the ceiling was falling. Thankfully, a Haos Anchorsaur and a Haos Hammersaur saved them.
"Is everyone alright?" asked Hammersaur
It appeared that they were. Later, after all of the Vestals were informed of the situation of the Bakugan, we were all outside of Alpha City. I saw Leonidas and Lunar in the distance. They were okay.
"Thank you all for freeing us." Said a Haos Verias
"Don't thank us. We're all in this together. There's still a lot more Bakugan to free." Said Mira
"Then we wish to join the Bakugan Brawler Resistance." Said a Ventus Atmos
"We want to help New Vestroia." Said a Subterra Hynoid
"Yes, we want to fight too." Said Haos Anchorsaur
"Me too." Said Haos Verias
"Too awesome! Our team's getting bigger every day." Said Baron
"Then it's settled. We stand or fall united." Said Drago
"The Vexos don't have a chance against us!" exclaimed Marucho
"We're still pretty badly outnumbered though." Said Ace
"Just the way we like it, right?" asked Percival
"Mm-hmm." Said Shun
"Alright!" exclaimed Dan
"I am seriously stoked!" exclaimed Jack
"Yeah, we're gonna start a new Bakugan Revolution!" I exclaimed
*Preview*
Dawn: Hey there, it's Dawn again. Things are looking up here in New Vestroia, seeing that we just destroyed the Alpha City controller. However, we get a surprise visit from Runo Misaki, which brings more trouble to New Vestroia. Will we be able to hold off long enough to make sure she gets back to Earth safely? Find out next time brawlers. Bakugan, Brawl! See ya there.
Done and done! I know, I'm lame with the updating, but hey, at least I'm done! Please review, check out my poll, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off. Kan dao ni!
