Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know that it's been a while, but hey, I've been busy! Anyhow, disclaimer time!

This will start in Jack's P.O.V., and enjoy!
The gate just closed, so the others must be on earth. The better have made it alright, other we're going to have a hard time against these guys.
"The others took off, so I'll crush you instead. Ability Activate! Darkus Stream!" exclaimed Shadow
Darkus Sylfee G-Power 400
Aquos Elfin G-Power 100
Shadow Life-force 20 percent
Marucho Life-force 40 percent
"Afraid of the dark pipsqueak?" asked Shadow
"Am not! I brought my own night light. Elfin, it's time to wake up!" exclaimed Marucho
"I like the way you're thinking Marucho. Time to change attributes. Sun, wind, and rain combine! Darkus Elfin is gonna sing you a lullaby! Nighty night." Said Elfin
"Ability Activate! Moon Rainbow!" exclaimed Marucho
"I'm your worst nightmare, so say your prayers." Said Elfin
Shadow Life-force zero
"You think you're so big pee-wee!" exclaimed Shadow
"Big enough to win! Had enough goofball?" asked Marucho
"No fair." Said Shadow
"That was pretty pathetic, even for you." Said Mylene
"Huh?" wondered Shadow
"Let's go before you embarrass yourself more." Said Mylene
She brought him inside her transport via tractor beam.
"What the? Who's afraid now?" asked Marucho
"Bu-bye Shadow Prove." Said Ace
"I hope Dan and the others made it through the gate alright." I said
"We'll just have to wait. Since we can't seem to hear the voices anymore, the gate must've closed behind them. So until they're back, it's up to the four of us. Got a problem with that?" asked Shun
"Yeah, I do. We're a team, you don't just take off." Said Ace
"Aw, just give it a rest Ace. We'll destroy the dimension controller at Beta City. That should pass the time. Unless you're afraid." Said Shun
"As if! Maybe we'll free all the Bakugan by the time they get back." Said Ace
"Now you're talking!" exclaimed Marucho
Sakura's P.O.V.
After spending a whole day at the amusement park, we were now in Runo's restaurant taking a break from all the walking around, at least, most of us were. Baron on the other hand, well… let's just say I was getting a ginormous headache, which was slowly turning into a migraine.
"Does anyone know if there's an off switch on that guy?" asked Dan
"You're my favorite make believe host." Said Julie
Way to make it go extreme. Correction: It is a migraine. Runo then set down a glass of water and some painkillers in front of me. I widened my eyes in surprise.
"It's on the house. Dad can tell when someone's getting a headache or worse." Said Runo
"Thanks Runo." I said
She then noticed what Baron was doing.
"Baron! We interrupt this special report to bring you live coverage of me stuffing Baron into the nearest garbage can." Said Runo
He kinda deserved it. I quickly took the painkillers with the water, and I was feeling better by the minute.
"Whoa Baron, I'd lay low around Runo for a while." Said Dan
"Dan's learned the hard way not to tease Runo." Said Drago
"If she's anything like the Jack I know, Baron better watch out." I said
"Why's that?" asked Dan
"I've already told you I can duel circles around him." I said
"Oh yeah." Said Dan
"Dan's afraid of Runo. Sakura's afraid of Jack Atlas." Teased Julie
"That's so not true!" exclaimed Dan
"Am not!" I exclaimed
"Okay, whatever Dan, Sakura." Said Julie
"Order up, table three. It's all yours Runo." Said Runo's mom
"I got it." Said Runo
"Hey Runo, let me help you with that. I bet I'd be a totally great waiter. Watch, I'll balance this plate on my head!" exclaimed Baron
"No thanks Baron. I've… cleaned up enough of your spills today. Why don't you go outside and sweep up the sidewalk?" asked Runo's dad
"Me? Sweep your stoop? Awesome!" exclaimed Baron
Well, at least he's out of our hair for now.
"Talk later, I should've finished my break like an hour ago." Said Julie
"You mean you work here too?" asked Mira
"Yep. I've been staying with Runo and her parents for her while, so I figured the least I could do is put on an apron and help." Said Julie
"Hmm… well then, I should pitch in too, shouldn't I? May I please have one of those Julie?" asked Mira
"You want an apron?" asked Julie
"Yes please, it'll help take my mind off Keith." Said Mira
Seeing that I once worked in a restaurant myself, Mira better watch her back.
"Um, anyone need help?" asked Mira
Looks like she's the center of attention.
"Hello? I'm working too." Said Runo
"Don't be such a cranky pants Runo, you're still the third prettiest waitress." Said Julie
I wonder how the others are doing in New Vestroia.
Jack's P.O.V.
We were driving along when we brought up the map with the active Dimension Controllers, but things weren't looking good for us.
"This can't be right. The Beta and Gamma Dimension Controllers are growing more and more powerful. What's going on?" asked Marucho
"Drago is New Vestroia's Perfect Core, and his power is what keeps the planet stable. With him gone, they're getting stronger and stronger!" exclaimed Shun
"That's not good." Said Marucho
"We better get a move on then, otherwise the Beta City controller will head back into Alpha territory, leaving us back to square one." I said
"That's gonna be a big job for just the three of us." Said Ace
"The Bakugan are counting on us. We have to find a way to get into Beta City and destroy that controller. No matter what happens, Dan and Mira would want us to keep going." Said Marucho
"Mira…" started Ace
Ace hit a bump, and we all tried to stay on the ground.
"Hey, can't a Bakugan get some sleep around here?" asked Elfin
"Sorry. My bad." Said Ace
Ace saw a good place to stop, seeing we were all tired. I was just about to hit the sack when I could've sword I heard Dan's voice.
"Marucho… help me. Marucho!" exclaimed Dan
Something's fishy. I headed into the room where Shun and Marucho were in.
"Shun. Jack." Said Dan
"Dan?" asked Shun
"Jack, Shun, Marucho, I can't hold on!" exclaimed Dan
"Okay, this is really freaking me out." Said Marucho
"Have you forgotten my voice already? Get moving and help me!" exclaimed Dan
"Sorry Dan, but what happened? Where are you?" asked Marucho
"Dude, you really are slow, aren't you? I'm in between dimensions. I tried to get back to New Vestroia, but I'm stuck in the dimensional gate!" exclaimed Dan
"You're in the dimensional gate?" asked Marucho
"Over there? Don't worry Dan, hang on, I'm coming for you!" exclaimed Marucho
Shun and I grabbed Marucho before he could go any further.
"Wait Marucho." Said Shun
"But Dan is in trouble. We've got to get to him Shun, Jack. Let go of my arms." Said Marucho
"Yeah Shun, Jack, don't you two care about what happens to me? I thought you two were my friends." Said Dan
"We are. Is that really you Dan?" I asked
"Marucho, hurry!" exclaimed Dan
"Okay, I'm coming Dan!" exclaimed Marucho
"Marucho!" Shun and I exclaimed in unison
"Let's follow him." I said
"Yeah." Said Shun
When we got outside, it was really windy out. Weird, where did this wind come from?
"Marucho!" Shun and I exclaimed in unison
"I'm coming Mira!" exclaimed Ace
"Huh?" I wondered
"Hang on, I'm almost there!" exclaimed Ace
"Hurry up Ace! Don't you care?" asked Mira
"Ace!" I exclaimed
"Keep going Ace! I can't hold on. You've got to hurry. Help me Ace! I need you." Said Mira
"Marucho! You're the only one who can save me Marucho!" exclaimed Dan
Shun and I then heard something, something that didn't sound like what Dan would say. It's a trap!
"Marucho! Wait!" exclaimed Shun
"Ace! Come back!" I exclaimed
"I'm coming Dan!" exclaimed Marucho
"No! Don't go in! It's a trap Marucho!" exclaimed Shun
The two gates disappeared.
"That's just great." Said Shun
"Dang it! Most of us leave to go to earth, then Marucho and Ace disappear, and now it's just me and you Shun!" I exclaimed
"I know, but we need to press on." Said Shun
"Fine, but I'm heading towards another route, that way they can't get either of us in case we run into trouble." I said
"Okay." Said Shun
"Good luck Shun." I said
"Good luck friend." Said Shun
Sakura's P.O.V.
We were now outside of Runo's family's restaurant.
"That was so awesome. Thanks for lunch Mr. and Mrs. Misaki." Said Dan
"And thanks for the experience waitressing. Who knows, I might come back for a job." Said Mira
"Yeah, sure Mira. Anytime." Said Runo
"What Runo means to say is that you would need more training to work at the café. But, as the best waitress in town, I'd be happy to teach you everything I know." Said Julie
"Don't be so modest Julie. Tell us how you really feel." Said Mr. Misaki
"Uh, just kidding." Said Julie
Everyone laughed at that one.
"You kids are welcome anytime you're on the planet." Said Mrs. Misaki
"Thanks. You are the best." Said Baron
"Shall we get going?" asked Drago
"And now, for the moment I've been waiting for all my life! The next stop, Dan's House! You can't imagine how stoked I am! Come on!" exclaimed Baron
"Ow! Get a grip Baron! It's the other way!" exclaimed Dan
I chuckled a bit, but still, I can't help but feel a bit uneasy that something bad is going on back in New Vestroia.
"Better get going." Said Runo
"Thanks again." Said Mira
We all ran to catch up to Baron and Dan.
"Come back and work my shift anytime!" exclaimed Julie
Finally pulling Baron to his senses, we got to Dan's house. Well, more like his old house, since I'm from the future.
"Well, here we are." Said Dan
"Wow. I can't believe it! Finally, Master Dan's house! It's so awesome!" exclaimed Baron
"Can we move this tour along?" asked Drago
"You know, Baron's got a point. I haven't been home for a while. I really missed this place. My house doesn't transform into a trailer, but it's still pretty cool, I think." Said Dan
"I'm sure it is." Said Mira
"Yeah! I want the full logged in Dan Kuso experience! Bring it on! Totally!" exclaimed Baron
"I'm home!" Dan exclaimed as he opened the door
"Daniel! I'm so glad you're back. Your father and I have missed you so much." Said Dan's mom
"Oh mom." Said Dan
"Oh son." Said Dan's mom
"Oh boy, it's good to meet you." Said Baron
Cue the anime fall, in Dan's case that is.
"No way, impossible, you're even younger and prettier than I imagined Master Dan's mom." Said Baron
"You little sweetie, and… what is your name?" asked Dan's mom
"Baron." Said Baron
"Well, welcome Baron. Please make yourself at home." Said Dan's mom
"You won't even notice me!" exclaimed Baron
And here comes yet another headache. I think the painkillers Runo's dad gave me are wearing off.
"Just a little something I whipped up. Dig in everyone." Said Dan's mom
Baron was eating like he hadn't eaten in weeks!
"I didn't know you were a gourmet chef Master Dan's mother." Said Baron
Oh brother. Sometimes I wonder what I get myself into, in this case, yoga.
"Hey Mira, Sakura, can't believe mom roped you into joining her." Said Dan
"Is this some earth torture?" asked Mira
"Sort of. It's called Yoga." Said Dan's mom
"Speaking of choosing, is either Mira or Sakura your new girlfriend?" asked Dan's dad
"Dad, what are you talking about?-! We're just brawling partners!" exclaimed Dan
"That's cool." Said Dan's dad
"We're working together to free the Bakugan! That's it! End of story!" exclaimed Dan
"I won't be freeing any Bakugan if I don't get out of this pose." Said Mira
I swear the only exercise I will ever do again will be running related. I'm never doing yoga again. It was really late, so we were all getting ready for bed when Mira and I decided to look through some photos in one of Dan's photo albums. That's when I saw one photo of the original battle brawlers. It's kinda ironic. Here I am, from the future, looking into the past.
"Hey, so when was this picture taken?" I asked
"That's the Battle Brawlers. We were celebrating after saving Vestroia. Those were some pretty sweet times." Said Dan
"Whoa. The seven original brawlers!" exclaimed Baron
"Yeah, we were a pretty tight group. We fought hard and together we won." Said Dan
"The Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance is gonna hammer those Vexos too! Right Mira?" asked Baron
"Huh? Uh, right." Said Mira
"You know, this kinda reminds me of my old Enforcer days." I said
"Enforcer?" asked Dan
"I used to be part of a Duel Gang called 'The Enforcers'. We dueled to keep the Satellite Sector a safe place. But… after our leader went a little crazy with power, things changed. Kalin…" I said
"I hope we can get back to New Vestroia soon. The guys need our help against the Vexos. We're on the way Ace, Shun, Jack, and Marucho." Said Dan
Jack's P.O.V.
I was driving my bike up the mountain path when I saw some green flames in the distance. That can't be a good sign. Maybe I should go and see if Shun is okay. Just before I drove back, someone got in my way.
"I can't allow you to pass Jack." Said the hooded figure
"Who are you?-!" I exclaimed
"Someone who walks between the lines of life and death and through the ways of darkness." Said the figure
"Listen, I need to get going, so if you could just move along, I'll be on my way." I said
"If you want to help your friend, you best beat my representative in a brawl Mr. Vense." Said the figure
"I don't have time for this!" I exclaimed
I started up my bike again, but before I could get past him, a landslide blocked my way. I barely managed to stop in time to avoid it.
"I told you Jack, if you want to help Shun, then you must beat my representative in a brawl." Said the hooded figure
"Bring it on! Red Eyes, get ready!" I exclaimed as I readied my gauntlet
"Okay!" exclaimed Red Eyes
"Good, now then, come and face your opponent." Said the hooded figure
A flash a white light appeared behind him, and I had to shield my eyes. I could hear footsteps, and I squinted to see some buildings behind the person. When the light faded, I saw someone who was wearing a cloak, but had grey skin, which reminded me somewhat like a lizard's skin. I could also see that his eyes were distant, as if he didn't know what he was doing.
"Jack, meet Gan. He's an alien from a place called Gundalia. You best remember that name. Now then, time to begin." Said the hooded figure
He readied an orange and white gauntlet on his arm. Well, what do you know; he's a Subterra brawler like me.
"Gauntlet…" started Gan
"Power Strike!" Gan and I exclaimed in unison
"Gate Card, Set! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Let's finish this quickly Red Eyes!" I exclaimed
"You can say that again!" exclaimed Red Eyes
"Bakugan, Brawl. Bakugan, Stand. Destroy them Haos Los Uzib." Said Gan
Darkus Red Eyes Black Dragonoid G-Power 400
Haos Los Uzib G-Power 600
"Another Mechanical Bakugan?-!" exclaimed Red Eyes
"Grr, he must be with the Vexos!" I exclaimed
"No, I made him that one. I call it Los Uzib." Stated the hooded figure
"What is it with mad scientists and mechanical Bakugan?" wondered Red Eyes
"Ability Activate. Super Blaster." Said Gan
Darkus Red Eyes Black Dragonoid G-Power 100
"Red Eyes! That's a low blow!" I exclaimed
"Well, if you were paying attention, then you would've had the first move." Said the hooded figure
"Double Ability Activate! Pyrus Blast plus Darkus Shot!" I exclaimed in anger
"Take this you mechanical freak!" exclaimed Red Eyes
Darkus Red Eyes Black Dragonoid G-Power 600
The attack was a direct hit, but when the smoke cleared, Los Uzib was protected by some kind of grid, and Gan had activated some kind of ability.
"That was the ability D.P.U. It stands for Droid Protection Unit. It canceled out your ability, and left you open for attack." Said the hooded figure
Darkus Red Eyes Black Dragonoid G-Power 100
"Ability Activate. Ultra Cannon." Said Gan
Haos Los Uzib G-Power 1100
"Look out!" I exclaimed
Red Eyes dodged that attack, only to get punched in the face.
"That hurt." Said Red Eyes
"Oh my, we're on a tight schedule. I believe we should get going. Gan, finish this." Said the hooded figure.
"Double Ability Activate. Grand Absolute plus Darkus Slayer." Said Gan
Los Uzib's chest opened up and fired at Red Eyes from point blank range.
Jack Life-force zero.
The abilities must've been too much for Los Uzib, for he blew up. I had to shield my eyes as it exploded. When I opened them again, I saw the guy in front of me. I tried to punch him, but he caught my fist.
"Now, now Jack, there is no need for that. Stop with this violence and just relax." Said the hooded figure
There was a slight glow from under his hood, and the next thing I knew, everything turned black.
Sakura's P.O.V.
I woke up with a slight scream.
"Just a dream, or was it?" I wondered
"Sakura? Is everything okay?" asked Leonidas
"Leo. I'm not sure. I just had dream where Jack lost to his future self, Gan." I said
"Then it had to be a dream. No way that's possible, right?" asked Lunar
"Don't forget, we're from the future too. I just have a sinking feeling all of a sudden." I said
*Preview*
Sakura: While some of us are trying to figure out a way to get home, I see something that isn't good. It's Sayer, but not the one from the past, from my timeline. Now I can see why he disappeared the way he did with the scar on his face. Can I beat him in a brawl to prove to him that I will never join him? Let's go Twilight! Bakugan, Brawl! See you there Brawlers.
*End Preview*
Done and done! Whew, this took a while, but it's finally done! In any case, please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
