Chapter 23: Virtual Insanity

Detroid: Well, back to the old drawing board for brawls. That cliffhanger we left for the readers was so much of a heavy one.

sakuraphoenix: Although some people didn't like it *puffs up my cheeks as a Cyndaquil*

Detroid: True but hey, beggars can't be choosers for people who hate and don't hate but people might be wondering, why is Phoenix using Sakura's body to get the other attribute energies?

sakuraphoenix: That's for us to know, and for you guys to find out, right my adorable Raichu?

Detroid: *blushes* That's right! LOL. Meowth moment from Team Rocket's motto from Sinnoh.

sakuraphoenix: I thought that was Kanto, Johto, the last bit of Unova, and Kalos

Detroid: You are also forgetting Hoenn and you know what I mean but point is, they will find out on why Phoenix is using Sakura's body

sakuraphoenix: Though we both know who won't be happy about that, right?

Detroid: Yeah but anywho, Disclaimer time!

sakuraphoenix: You said it!

Disclaimer: We do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or Bakugan. Just our OC's

Detroid: Before we go any further into the story. We want to point something out that might confuse people if we are going to do this chapter

sakuraphoenix: What my boyfriend said

Detroid: Since Phoenix is in Sakura's body. We will be doing her point of view a bit differently than normal

sakuraphoenix: Don't you mean in Phoenix's point of view, since… you know… we rather not incur Sakura's wrath after all

Detroid: That would only happen when she is back in control after all but since she isn't…..

sakuraphoenix: Well, we both know she might later. When that happens, run for your life!

Detroid: True but let's just do SP which is short for Phoenix being in Sakura's body point of view is… that's ok with you my cute Fennekin

sakuraphoenix: Aw *blushes* but wouldn't it be easier to just write Phoenix's point of view?

Detroid: Alright, you win. Enjoy! Also, it's starting in Phoenix's POV

sakuraphoenix: Like my boyfriend said, enjoy!

I smirked evilly as I tested out Sakura's body. I started by flexing my fingers and stretching myself, making sure that Sakura wasn't still in control. Once I had that test done and over with, I knew I had complete control over her body. But my work wasn't done. I had to find the other brawlers and take their attribute energies for the Vexos. If I didn't… I don't even wanna think about it.

"I could get used to using this face." I said

"Hopefully not to used to it." Deonidas replied

"Yeah but…" I started to say before having Sakura's voice correct and finished saying

"But enough to get the attribute energies."

"Then let's hope my brother is stupid as he looks." Deonidas said to me

"But first things first. I need to contact my friends." I told him while smirking

"Like who?" Deonidas asked

I smirked evilly as I pulled out the communicator I hid before I possessed Sakura before I established contact with the Vest Palace.

"Are they going to pick up or not?" I said in Sakura's voice to myself

And after what felt like centuries, they finally pick up! If Zenoheld was taking his royal bath or whatever, he's going to have to deal with me.

"Hello." I told my friends

"Hey! What's that lame-o brawler doing calling us, huh?!" Shadow exclaimed while pointing a finger at me

"And how did you get this frequency?!" exclaimed Mylene

"You don't know…. your own friend's voice!" I told them

I wish I had a camera to record all of this, because their reactions were priceless! I was trying very hard not to laugh.

"You mean... Phoenix?!" exclaimed Lync

"In Sakura's flesh!" I said with Sakura's own voice

"You've gotta teach me how to do that? Come on! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please." Shadow asked me in a pleading tone, like a child asking for candy

"You should thank Professor Clay actually." I replied, still in Sakura's voice

"And why say that?" asked Volt

"He told me to go to the Doom Dimension to find my partner which I did who had an ability that allowed me to possess this brawler's body." I told them while smirking with Sakura's face

"And let me tell ya, that Bakugan's gonna come in handy when it comes to stealing attribute energies." Lync said before laughing like crazy

"You got it correct actually Lync" I replied in surprise

"I'm just good at guessing, that's all." said Lync

"The brawlers won't know what will hit them since they have no idea that I'm not really Sakura at all." I pointed out evilly

Dawn's POV

I was pacing back and forth across my room. I can't believe Sakura bailed on us, again. She must be taking the Grace thing pretty seriously.

"Dawn, stop pacing, please. You're making me dizzy." said Sunrise

"What? I can't be worried about my sister?" I asked

"Must… hide…" I heard someone say

"Did you say something Sunrise?" I asked

"No." Sunrise replied

"Then who did?" I wondered out loud

"Maybe…. them?" Sunrise told me while pointing to some Bakugan that belonged to my sister

"That's… Leonidas!" I exclaimed as I ran over to Leonidas and the other Bakugan I didn't recognize

"We must hide. Now!" Leonidas yelled in panic

"Wait, it's me! Dawn!" I exclaimed

"Dawn… I….. I had no choice but to leave Sakura behind… Right sister….. Shadow Striker, Lunar and Twi?" Leonidas asked them

"Wait, what happened?" I asked them

"What happened is the right question." I heard a voice say from the doorway

Phoenix's POV

"Are you glad to see your sister?" I said

"Sakura!" exclaimed Dawn

"You're okay!" Leonidas exclaimed as he flew up to her

"Sorry I made both of you worry." I told them

"As long as you're safe, I forgive you." said Leonidas

"Thanks but let's get something to eat. I'm starving." I explained while laughing a bit about it

"You and me both." said Dawn

I followed Sakura's pathetic sister to where the Brawlers usually got their food while I smirked evilly, thinking about earlier.

*Flashback*

I had just walked from the docks to a nearby area… but I had just realized I didn't know where the Brawlers were hiding!

"What do I do to try to find the other brawlers unless….." I thought to myself before looking at Deonidas then saying:

"Can't your Devil Possess ability card allow me to access someone's memories as well for info about something as well?"

"Well, it's been a long time since anyone's tried using it, but if I had to guess, then yeah. Theoretically speaking, of course." said Deonidas

"Great because I need to know where the brawlers are hiding so I can lead Maylene and Shadow Prove to their hideout." I told Deonidas

"Well, if you're looking for them, they've picked decent outfits for Earth Casual." Deonidas said as he turned to a different direction

"What is it, Deonidas?" I asked him

"You should know. Your favorite two people are here." Deonidas said while looking at some cafe

And that's when I look towards the cafe and saw Maylene and Shadow Prove and I held three fingers behind my back for them to know where I'm at. I then saw them follow me as I made it back to the brawler's headquarters, but I made a signal to say wait a few minutes before following me even further. I didn't want the brawlers to figure out that I'm not exactly Sakura, now did I?

"Let's see… how should I have them follow me without the brawlers knowing I'm not Sakura at all." I thought to myself

After I entered back inside, I found a place where there was a blind spot to the cameras, and saw a friend of the brawlers come in. Perfect. I sent one of my little friends as a signal to Mylene and Shadow that they could come out now. Everything's going according to plan…

*End Flashback*

"What should we eat sis?" I asked Dawn

"I honestly have no idea." said Dawn

"How about a pizza from our favorite place?" I suggested

"Uh, we're hiding the Vexos, and we're going to eat breakfast. Who eats pizza for breakfast?" Dawn asked me as she walked into the dining room

"Oh… right" I said while sweat dropping before continuing:

"I could cook you your favorite breakfast if you want?"

Dawn then suddenly burst out laughing like I had made a joke. What was so funny?

"You? Cook breakfast? The only thing you can cook is dinner!" Dawn exclaimed as she kept laughing

"Alright fine! You cook!" I told her as I puffed out my cheeks

"Alright, alright. No need to get sensitive about it." Dawn said in a slightly hurt tone

"I'm sorry if I hurt you sis. I didn't try to." I replied in a sorry tone

"I know. I'm sorry if I hurt you too. I'm just a little on edge with the whole attribute energy thing." said Dawn

"Yeah, I know how you feel about that. I just don't want Twi to lose her power she holds." I sadly replied

"Same with me and Sunrise." Dawn replied to me

"Let's do our best to protect them." I told Dawn while smiling

"Yeah!" Dawn exclaimed while smiling

"So, what will you cook for us sis?" I asked

Dawn was about to reply when one of the brawlers ran into the room, and it was none other than Dan Kuso.

"Guys! You won't believe who just dropped in!" exclaimed Dan

"Who?" I asked him while thinking to myself:

Jackpot for the Pyrus attribute energy!

"Just come and take a look for yourselves!" Dan exclaimed as he dragged us to another room

"Hey!" I yelled to him

"Slow down!" Dawn yelled as we were being dragged

"Yeah! Slow down, will ya!" I added in

"No time!" exclaimed Dan

"Alright!" I said

And then Dan dragged us to what looked like some kind of living room, where I saw that brawler from earlier! I was right, the Brawlers did know him.

"So… Dan… who is this?" I said while pointing to the Subterra brawler that had a weird Bakugan that only had one eye

"Oh yeah. You guys haven't met yet." Dan replied

"Guys, I want you to meet Billy." Julie told Dawn and I

"Hello. My name is Sakura and this is my sister, Dawn." I replied while holding out a hand for a handshake

"Nice to meet you two." Billy said while accepting my handshake

"So, why are you here anyway?" I asked him

"Better question, how did he find us?" Dawn asked him

"That's a good question sis." I said

"I have my sources." Billy said as we sweat-dropped

"Okay…" I trailed off

"I don't get it. Why didn't you call ahead to let us know you were coming, Billy?" asked Julie

"You know me, Julie. I always like making a big entrance, you know what I mean?" asked Billy

"Yeah, that's true, I guess." said Julie

"Sounds like someone I know whom I'm related to." said Dawn

"One of our cousins?" I asked

"You, silly." Dawn said in a teasing tone

"Oh, right." I replied while sweat-dropping before realizing what Dawn said as I said:

"Hey!"

"It's true." Twilight spoke

"You're my partner! Back me up here!" I told Twilight

That earned a good laugh from everyone in the room, except for me. Even though I have to act like this stupid brawler, it still stings!

"Man, I heard you been traveling all over the world to train. Got some awesome stories to tell." Dan asked Billy

"Yeah, maybe a couple, but not like you. What you guys were up to in New Vestroia and Vestal is way cooler than anything I've been doing. I'd rather talk about that stuff." said Billy

"*gasp* You know about that?" asked Dan

"More sources?" asked Shun

"Actually, I ran into Klaus a while back and he gave me one of these." Billy said while pulling out a Gauntlet

"A Gauntlet?! Why would you bring that here?" asked Shun

"Why not? You never know when a Gauntlet might come in handy, right?" Billy asked Shun

"What's wrong Shun?" asked Ingram

"Something feels wrong." said Shun

The screen then lit up behind us, revealing Marucho's butler, Kato.

"Master Marucho, your chief technician wanted me to inform you that everything is ready." said Kato

"Fantastic! Tell him that we'll be right there." Marucho told Kato

"What test is he talking about?" Dan asked

"That's what I want to know as well." I added in

"Wha? Yeah. Hey, come on." said Runo

Marucho just laughed as he led us to another room in the house.

"Come on guys, follow me!" exclaimed Marucho

"Aw, man. What is this place?" asked Dan

"It's like we're inside some kind of video game." said Ace

"Actually Ace, you're not really that far off. This is the operation room for the online virtual reality system I built called Bakugan Interspace." said Marucho

"So this is where it all began." Dawn muttered under her breath, which only I could hear

"Yeah, I can hardly imagine it on it started right here." I whispered to Dawn

"I know, right?" Dawn whispered back to me

"Yeah." I replied as I whispered back before Dan exclaimed:

"What the heck is Bakugan Interspace?!"

"Well, you guys remember that when we were first introduced to our Bakugan, we thought they and the cards were just part of a game." said Marucho

"Yeah, I remember. Shun and I even made up some of the rules!" exclaimed Dan

"Is that true?" asked Mira

"We Bakugan were like helpless pawns." Drago replied

"I'm really sorry buddy. That was before we knew you were living beings just like us." said Dan

"It's not your fault." Drago replied to him

"Well, I wanted to see if I could bring back the fun elements of the game, but in a virtual form that way no Bakugan would be harmed. So I secretly started this project and been working on it in my spare time." Marucho explained

"Looks like Billy isn't the only one around here who likes surprises." said Runo

"I don't see what's so great about surprises. They're totally overrated." said Ace

"Unless you're talking about surprise birthday parties, especially when there's ice cream and cake!" exclaimed Baron

"Okay, let me understand this. Kids from all over the world can battle each other in this virtual arena anytime they want, just by logging on?" asked Mira

"Yeah. That's basically it." Marucho explained

"Big deal. It sounds more like a chat room." Shun said

"Nope! This is way cooler!" Marucho replied while pointing a finger at us

"Awww! Can you quit stalling then? Tell us about it." Preyas spoke

"Yes Master Marucho. Tell us. Tell us!" Elfin added in

"Well, after several months of research and lots of trial and error, my team of computer engineer and technicians figured out a way to convert people into data and import that data into the virtual world." Marucho explained

And everyone was ecstatic about it! I mean, could you blame them? Sakura was the same when she first heard about it.

"Well, that's the theory anyway." Marucho said while sweat dropping

"Huh?" Preyas wondered

"What do you mean theory?" Elfin asked Marucho

"So, you mean that…" Runo started

"We get to test it out?" Mira asked excitedly

"That's right! If you want to. I was going to do it myself, but since you're all here…" Marucho started

"I don't know Master Marucho. It sounds pretty risky. Are you sure?" Elfin asked

"Yeah! Elfin's right! I'm not sure if you should make yourself a test guinea pig." Preyas said in worry

"Don't worry, my staff have run every safety test. But if any of you are still unsure, I understand. Bakugan Interspace is a great way for us to practice our brawling though, while we hide out from the Vexos. So, what do you say?" Marucho replied

"He doesn't know that they have one right under their noses." I said to myself

"I say I'm in! Sign me up!" Dan exclaimed as he ran for the Interspace platform

"Yeah! I'm with Master Dan!" exclaimed Baron

"Wait for me!" Runo said

"Race you there Julie." Billy said to Julie

"Okay! I'm right behind you!" Julie replied to Billy

"So am I!" Mira added in

"Me too!" Ace spoke

"Wait for us!" Dawn exclaimed as she ran after the others

"What she said!" I exclaimed

"Awesome guys! This is going to be so much fun!" exclaimed Marucho

"You coming Shun?" Dan asked Shun

"I don't think so. Not this time, Dan." said Shun

"Come on, Shun. There's no reason to be scared." said Dan

"I'm not scared. I have something urgent I have to attend to." said Shun

"What are you being so uptight about Shun?" asked Mira

"Leave him if he doesn't want to come." said Ace

"Maybe next time. Let's get this party started! Commence testing please!" Marucho exclaimed

"I have the Darkus, Pyrus, and the last half of the Haos attribute energies standing with me." I said to myself while smirking to myself which thankfully nobody noticed

"Roger, sir. Standby for primary out link." One of Marucho's technicians said

"Commencing synchronized translation." Another one of Marucho's technicians said

"Prepare for transport in five… four… three… two… one... mark! Translation!" The first of Marucho's technicians exclaimed

*Commercial Break*

Phoenix: Twilight, let's show them your power that we have as a team!

Ace: Are you ready for some virtual excitement?

*End Commercial Break*

Looks like it worked! We were inside Bakugan Interspace! Like we were supposed to have any doubts. Looks like it's still in the beta testing stage though.

"Incredible! It actually worked!" exclaimed Marucho

"You did it!" exclaimed Dan

"So this is Bakugan Interspace?" Runo asked

"This is where we're supposed to battle?" Baron and I asked at the same time

"No. We wouldn't actually brawl in here. This is kinda like the waiting room. Follow me and I'll show you the arena options." Marucho explained

"There's more than one choice?" asked Runo

"Absolutely! We programmed several environments from which you can choose where you can have your battle. Although, right now, there's only one that is fully functional." Marucho explained before continuing:

"Welcome to… Bakugan Interspace!"

A bright light then blinded us before we found ourselves in what appeared to be an arena!

"Whoa!" exclaimed Dan

"Amazing!" Julie said

"You said it." I added in

"It's just perfect." said Runo

"So we can battle like it's for real. This is so cool man." Dan exclaimed

"And we're in no danger of losing the attribute energies to the Vexos." Drago added in

Oh Drago…. you have no idea that there is a Vexos right under your nose.

"Alright! When do we get started?" Ace asked

"Yeah. I'm ready to go!" Baron said

"Yeah, man!" exclaimed Julie

"How about it, Marucho?" asked Runo

"Uh… wait! Hold on! If we all battle at once, the system will overload and crash! So how about we all draw straws to determine the order of the brawls, okay?" asked Marucho

We all then pulled a straw out of the box before we all said in unison:

"Come on! Number one!"

And Dan was definitely number three.

"Man, Dan, I'll be facing you." I said while showing number four

"What? Number three? This stinks. I hate to be a sore loser, but I should've been number one! Who got it?!" exclaimed Dan

"Hmph. I did." said Ace

"Of course you would. Ace means 'number one'." I said while deadpanning

"Argh! You're not helping Sakura!" exclaimed Dan

"Come on, Dan. You can't always be first." said Runo

"Okay then. So who got number 2 would be battling Ace." Marucho explained

"Yeah and the one I'll be beating." Ace said in glory

"Oh yeah. Not so fast. You haven't seen my skills. Oh yeah!" Billy exclaimed

"Yeah, yeah. Big deal!" said Ace

"Ae, come on! Billy can't go up against Ace." Dan explained

"Huh?! You don't think I'm good enough!" Billy said to Dan

"Hey Billy, how about switching numbers with me? You know, ladies first?" asked Julie

"Hey! Come on! What was the point of drawing straws then?" asked Runo

"Yeah Julie. Ace and Billy got their numbers fair and square." I said while pointing it out

"Just because you like Ace doesn't mean you can butt in like that." said Mira

"What's that? You mean… she likes Ace?" asked Billy

"Ohh, don't listen to them." Julie said

"Enough, okay? I don't want to want to get between you two lovebirds, alright? So I'll take you both on. What do you say?" Ace told them

"Ace, make it a tag brawl. I'll be your partner against Julie and Billy." I asked him

"You kidding me? I can handle them on my own!" exclaimed Ace

"You're stuck with me in this brawl whether you like it or not Ace!" I yelled

"I don't need a girl helping me win!" exclaimed Ace

"Do you want to brawl against me then?!" I told Ace

"Anything to shut you up!" exclaimed Ace

"How about we both take you and Sakura on then?!" Julie exclaimed

"See, even Julie agrees with me." I said

"Fine." Ace said while sulking while I was smirking

"Okay!" Billy said

"Alright!" Julie added in

"Okay then guys. I think the system can handle a two on two battle for now. So, the first battle will be Ace and Sakura vs Julie and Billy. Time to brawl!" Marucho exclaimed

Gauntlet activated.

"Gauntlet, Power Strike!" All four of us exclaimed in unison

Ace Life Force 100 Percent

Billy Life Force 100 Percent

Julie Life Force 100 Percent

Sakura Life Force 100 Percent

"Number one goes first. Gate Card, Set! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand!" exclaimed Billy

"Oh yeah! Who's ready to rumble?!" exclaimed Cycloid

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 500

I don't know what these two are thinking! This is a Bakugan Brawl! Not a baseball game!

"I was born ready! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Go Darkus Percival!" Ace yelled

"Get ready to cry your eye out Cycloid." said Percival

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 600

"Ability Activate! Stray Thunder!" Ace said

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 900

"No big deal! Ability Activate! Boom Hammer!" Billy replied

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 600

"What?! It nullified my ability." Percival said in shock

"Ok Billy. Try this one. I think you'll like it." Ace told Billy

"Ability Card Set." Ace's gauntlet spoke

"Ability Activate! Dain Sleif!" Ace shouted

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 900

"Ability Activate! Skeet Punch!" Billy replied

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 900

"You might have dunked that punch but you might not be so lucky again." Cycloid said

"Did I hurt your dedicated fist Cycloid? Poor baby." Percival replied to Cycloid while swinging his sword

"Alright Percival. Let's keep going. Ability Activate! Geor Gunner!" Ace said while activating the ability

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 1400

"Ability Activate! Stealth Swing!" Billy quickly said

"Batter up!" Cycloid spoke

I saw that Cycloid just hit Percival's ability far, like out of the park! Argh! Now I'm the one thinking like a baseball maniac! Man, he's strong for a Cyclops.

"Am I thinking that Cycloid is playing baseball?!" I stated

"Grand Slam!" Cycloid said

"Cycloid has hit it out of the park and the fans go wild." Baron said

"Way to support your teammate there Baron." Dan told Baron

I saw that Percival's ability just hit him in the back. That's got to hurt, literally.

"With Stealth Swing, we can launch your ability right back at you." Billy explained

Subterra Cycloid G-power 900

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 400

"Are you kidding me?!" Ace said

"Billy was never this stronger of a brawler before." Julie thought to herself

"Still glad you drew number one Ace?" Dan asked

"What are you doing Ace? Tighten it up." Mira added in

"Your right. It's time to get serious here. Let's try this. Bakugan Trap! Darkus Rad Fly!" Ace shouted while throwing up his Bakugan Trap

I soon saw a bug appear on the battlefield. Man, why does he have to have a bug Bakugan trap. At least it was a Dragonfly

Darkus Flash Falcon Fly G-Power 400

"Let's go! Ability Activate! Dual Buster!" Ace said

Darkus Flash Falcon Fly G-Power 800

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 600

"Dual bust this buddy! Ability Activate! Rocky Punch!" Billy replied

"Yeah! That's it boss!" Cycloid said

That's gonna end badly for Cycloid. I can already see it in the G-Power difference.

Darkus Percival and Flash Falcon Fly G-Power 1000

"That one hurt." Cycloid said in defeat

Cycloid soon hit the floor hard after being hit by Percival.

Billy Life Force 80 percent

"Sorry Billy. That was close." Julie said

"May I have the next set, Ace?" I asked him
"Of course, after all, there's no such thing as a free pass." said Ace

"Gate Card, Set!" I yelled as I threw the gate card

"I'm number one! Bakugan, Brawl!" Ace said

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 600

"Not for long! Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand!" Billy stated

"Who wants seconds because I'm hungry for more?!" Cycloid added in

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 500

"Okay Gorem, ready to lend Billy and Cycloid a hand?" Julie asked Gorem

"You know I'll follow you anywhere Julie." Gorem replied back to her

"That's what I like to hear. Come on Gorem! Bakugan, Brawl! And, Ability Activate! Bakugan, Stand! Grand Impact!" Julie stated

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 500-700

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 400

Percival was sent flying because of it. I guess I need to get in the brawl. Time to see what this Bakugan can do since I still need to be this brawler.

"Subterra Hammer Gorem just got the drop on you!" Gorem said

"No you don't! Twilight, ready to help Percival?" I asked Twilight

"You know me well, Sakura!" exclaimed Twilight

"Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Let's go Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid!" I said as she stood

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 700

"Maybe I was wrong about Julie liking Ace? She sure is laying into him pretty heavy and showing no mercy." Mira stated

"Friends are friends but brawling is brawling." Runo replied

"Next..." Julie started to say before her and I said at the same time:

"Ability Activate!"

"Taros Hammer!" Julie stated

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 900

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 500

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 200

"Twilit Glow!" I said

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 700

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 700

I saw that Hammer Gorem brought his hammer down into the ground and…. wait? Is he hitting the ground that busted up towards up! Great! We need to turn this one around and I saw Ace with a look.

"Ability Activate! Bind Shield!" Ace said

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 500

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 400

"Ace! Hang on! Double Ability Activate! Orion's Bow plus fusion ability Merope's Wings!" I stated

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 1400

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 100

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 200

"Thanks Sakura." Ace said

"What?!" Julie and Billy said at the same time

"Talk about a combo!" Julie stated

"More than a pitcher who knows how to swing." Cycloid added in

"Is that the best you two got?" I said with a bored look on my face

"Try this! Ability Activate! Copycat!" Julie yelled

"Sakura! Watch out for that ability!" Mira exclaimed

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 700

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 1000

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 200

"Great!" I said as I saw a glowing ability in my hand before saying:

"Gate Card, open! Twilight's Shine!"

The gate card soon opened as it was shining. I hope this gate card can help me out with winning this round for Ace.

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 700

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 500

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 500

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 600

"Why did all of the Bakugan return to their base power level?!" Billy asked in shock

"Twilight's Shine is a command card that's unique to Meridian Twilight only. It returns all of the Bakugan on the field to their base power level." I explained to them

"Smart thinking Sakura." Ace said to me

"Thanks but now… Ability Activate!" I said as I placed the glowing ability in my gauntlet then saying:

"Bolt of Zeus!"

"When did I get that ability card?!" Twilight asked in shock

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 300

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 300

"How do you like that?" I asked Julie and Billy while a serious look on my face

"Big deal. Ability Activate! Right Giganti!" exclaimed Billy

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 400

The two Bakugan then returned to ball form as Twilight hit the ground with the Pokémon knocked out eyes.

"You okay Twi?" I asked her as I caught her in my hands

"Too dizzy…" Twilight trailed off as she spun around in my hands in her ball form

Billy Life Force 20 percent

Julie Life Force 20 percent

"One final round!" I said

"Gate Card, Set!" Julie exclaimed as she threw the gate card

"Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand!" All four of us said at once

"And, Bakugan trap! Rad Fly!" Ace added in

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 700

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 500

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 500

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 600

Darkus Flash Falcon Fly G-Power 400

"Ability Activate! Gorem Punch!" Julie said

"Ability Activate! Rocky Punch!" Billy added in

"I love the Rocky Punch." Cycloid said

"Hold on there, you one eye Cyclops! Ability Activate! Nebula Shield!" I shouted

Even with the abilities nullified, Percival and Twilight got sent flying. Okay, time to step it up a level in ability cards as Twilight would've wanted me to do it. Alright, here it goes.

"Yeah." Julie said as she snapped her fingers then continued:

"That's how it's done guys."

"Not so fast Julie. Ability Activate!" Ace and I said at the same time

"Stuka Enemy!" Ace said

"Orion's Bow!" I added in

Darkus Flash Falcon Fly G-Power 450

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 1000

Talk about bringing the heat!

"Ability Activate! Gigantic Hammer!" exclaimed Billy

"Ability Activate! Twilit Glow!" I exclaimed

"Ability Activate! Bind Shield!" Ace exclaimed

Subterra Cycloid G-Power 300

Subterra Hammer Gorem G-Power 300

Darkus Knight Percival G-Power 450

Haos Meridian Twilight Dragonoid G-Power 1200

"Alright. Try this! Gate Card, Open! Power Breaker!" Julie exclaimed

"What does that do?!" I asked in panic

"With this command card, any opponent Bakugan with a power level that's higher than 400 can't use their abilities. They can't even move." said Julie

"Oh no but Ace, you have your trap that has a low power level." I said while pretending to be scared

"Don't worry, it's all I'll need, though I have to give you credit for acting scared." said Ace

"What?!" exclaimed Billy

"Ability Activate! Darkus Fly Arrow!" exclaimed Ace

Flash Falcon Fly then turned into some kind of crossbow as Percival called for some Darkus lighting like he was Zeus!

"Let 'em have it Percival!" exclaimed Ace

And one shocking attack later, we just won the brawl!

Billy and Julie Life Force Zero

"Nooo!" Billy exclaimed in shock

"Aw man, that really stinks." Julie said in defeat

"Almost means nothing in battle." Billy said a bit mad

"Come on, don't feel too bad guys." Ace said as he walked up to Billy and gave him a high five before saying:

"It was a pleasure battling you Billy."

"Yeah, same here, man." said Billy

Julie then squealed before she hugged Ace like she was one of Spectra's fangirls or something before she said:

"Ace, you're such a great brawler!"

"Come on, Julie." said Ace

"Yeah but it seriously was a great brawl. If I didn't activate Nebula Shield or Bolt of Zeus, you might had defeated Ace and I." I said

A screen suddenly popped open in Bakugan Interspace revealing Shun.

"Hey, Dan." said Shun

"Hey, what's up Shun? I was about to take my turn, so they started…" started Dan

"Sorry to interrupt, but I found something you should see. You guys need to get back here." said Shun

That prompted a leave from Bakugan Interspace. If it's about the surveillance, I edited myself out of the video at the entrance so it would look like my friend followed Billy here.

"This better be good, dude. You know I've been dying for some Brawling action." Dan said

"Yeah, what he said, even though I just had my turn." I added in

"This is a printout from the security camera." said Shun

"*gasp*! Vexos!" exclaimed Dan

"But how did they find us here?" asked Baron

"It was taken this morning when Billy arrived." said Shun

"Great, you were followed." said Ace

"Aw, no. I'm really sorry." said Billy

"I think they probably tracked Billy by locking onto his Gauntlet signal.

They have no idea that I lead my friends to have them track Billy's gauntlet. Good thing I'm a good actress.

"Sorry guys. I really feel terrible." Billy said as he took off his baseball cap

"He didn't mean it, you know." said Julie

"It doesn't matter! The Vexos are onto us now, and that's bad!" exclaimed Dan

"Very bad indeed." said Marucho

"That means no more sitting around for us. We can't just wait for them to surprise us in the middle of the night!" exclaimed Elfin

"Elfin's right. We've been worried about defending ourselves. It's time we came up with a plan of attack." Drago said in a serious tone

Just like my friends and I planned. They have no idea what's coming for them.

*Preview*

Dawn: Dawn here. I can't help but think that something's off about Sakura. The others can't seem to see it, but my sister was giving off this feeling, like the Dark Signers did when I was one, the feeling of evil. While the others were worried about going all out, I decided to spy on my sister to see what was going on. The truth is never pleasant, but it's better the truth than an imposter posing as my sister! I'm going to get her back! Bakugan, Brawl! You don't wanna miss this one, brawlers!

*End Preview*

Detroid: Well, this one might surprise you with Phoenix is using Sakura to get the other attribute energies but now we have to worry about her sister? This is turning out to be one messed up story for brawling I say?

sakuraphoenix: Yeah, but Phoenix is going to have her hands full, that's for sure.

Detroid: True but not as much as Dawn when she finds out that someone was possessing her sister.

sakuraphoenix: True, so very true. In any case, please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix…

Detroid: And I'm Detroid…

sakuraphoenix: Both of us saying we heart you, signing off

Detroid: Bye!

sakuraphoenix: See ya!
