(Davis) Our fight with the Dark Stars continue and we were finally able to figure out that they plan to revive a bakugan that was sealed away and could bring chaos if he is released. That's why Drago gave us extra power and it caused our bakugan to evolve. Our battle with them continues, but we're not going to give up without a fight.

Now that Flint has joined the Brawlers, the tables have turned. Though, he isn't easily welcomed by the others except for Davis.

"So what do you think so far?" Davis said as he and Flint were walking among the city.

"I've actually felt something I haven't felt in a long time, relaxed." Flint said.

"You can say that again. I can't remember the last time we just relaxed and didn't do anything." Phoenixian said.

"You deserved it. You must have been battling so hard." Leonidas said.

"However, I'm afraid your friends aren't welcoming me so easily into your group." Flint said.

"Don't worry about that. They just need some time to come around." Davis said. "You just need to show them that you can be trusted."

"A way to show them I can be trusted?" Flint said as he tried to think of how that can be.

"We better get going. We have to meet up with the others." Leonidas said.

The Brawlers

Davis and Flint went to Yolei's apartment and the others were already there. They heard Davis and Flint come into the room.

"Davis, just in time. Why don't you wait outside, Flint?" John said.

"It is a little crowded in here." Yolei said.

"Yeah. Bye Flint." John said.

"Come on, he's a member of our team now. He's not with the Dark Stars anymore." Davis said.

"You don't know that for sure. He could just be deceiving us." John said. "Just because he says something, doesn't mean it's true. He could be sending information he gathers to them right now."

"Just give him a chance." Davis said.

"Enough. I know you guys might not trust me, but things are different." Flint said.

"You expect us to believe that? You took Leonidas and nearly killed him." John said.

"John's right. You can't be trusted." Ben said.

"What if I told you that you can trust me by giving you something?" Flint said and held up his wrist. "I can give your bakugan battle gear."

"Battle gear?" Keith said.

"Why don't you tell us what the Dark Stars ultimate goal is?" John said. "What do they plan on doing with this sealed away bakugan?"

"I can't because I don't know exactly." Flint said. "I just focused on my pursuit for power. I didn't give a care for much of anything else except that he uses the S.E.R.s."

"What are those?" Ben said.

"Surveillance and Energy Retrivers." Flint said. "They're small insect like robots that watched our battles and gather energy from bakugan battles. I'm guessing he'll use that energy to free that bakugan when he has enough. Diego is a devious man so giving you guys battle gear will make your bakugan stronger and put up more of a fight so that we can stop them."

"But doesn't Diego and the Dark Stars have the same technology?" Yolei said.

"No. I developed this myself." Flint said. "Before I left them, I transferred all the data here and deleted it all on the computer I used. Only I hold the data, but you can use it too."

"I'm not so sure." Glidor said.

"We bakugan don't usually use mechanics." Sorcerin said.

"But it wouldn't be same as mechanics." Phoenixian said. "Battle gear connects with the genetic code of a bakugan. It would be like adding an additional part to your body or like putting on some armor."

"Are you sure?" Poseidoid said.

"Phoenixian actually has had some experience. He would know how this works." Leonidas said. "I've also seen what it can do. This battle gear might actually help us in our battle."

"If you allow me to use your computer, I can create the data that will allow you to activate it." Flint said.

"What do you say guys?" Davis said.

"If it will give us an edge on the Dark Stars, I say we try it. Let's give Flint a chance." T.K. said. "Yolei, you can even keep an eye on him and learn how it all works."

"I would love to see how the battle gear works." Yolei said. "I'll give you a shot, Flint. Show me the battle gear data." Flint hooked up the small computer and a scanner to Yolei's computer.

"First, let's run a scan of each of the bakugan." Flint said. "We need their generic and genetic code. That way we can find a battle gear that works for them and the battle gear will respond to them. After that, we need to create a program for each one that will give them their own abilities." They scanned the bakugan and were getting the data they needed.

"This is very interesting, but how do we get this in a physical form?" Yolei said.

"I'm on it." Flint said as he took out miniature computer components and started to put all of them together. "I can give each of you a computer that will fit around your wrist. These will allow you to bring out the battle gear after you put in the right code."

"This is going to be awesome." Davis said. It took some time, but Flint was able to get it done with Yolei's help and each of them had one of the devices around their wrists.

"It's done. The only thing left to do is test them. However, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to test them out in the open." Flint said.

"Not to worry, we have another way." Yolei said as she put in a program and took out a small device that she hooked up to her computer. It activate and created a light "Just step over it." All of them stepped over the device and was digitized. When they all became solid, they were in a virtual room with an arena.

"What is this place?" Keith said.

"Is this the digital world we heard about?" Sorcerin said.

"No. This place is known as the Interspace." Yolei said. "We were able to create this thanks to our friend, Marucho. We can use this area to practice our battling."

"This is so awesome." Keith said.

"This is perfect. Diego won't be able to track us here and we can practice the battle gear." Flint said. "For the battle gear to work, we need to be in battle. Who wants to step up?"

"I'm in." Davis said.

"I'll battle too." T.K. said.

"Alright, just remember that this is a test." Flint said.

"Let's get started." T.K. said. "Gate Card Set! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Ventus Sky Glidor!"

"Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Pyrus Star Leonidas!" Davis said. Both of the bakugan rolled out and rose on the field.

"Now bring out the battle gear. Input the codes." Flint said.

"Wait. How does this work?" Davis said as he fiddled around with the keyboard, but he was able to get it right and a rectangular like piece was made. T.K. did the same thing and formed a triangular like battle gear.

"Ready Tanklot."

"Ready Airsault"

"Now what?" T.K. said.

"Throw them at your bakugan." Flint said.

"Battle Gear Boost!" T.K. and Davis threw the battle gear and attached them to Leonidas and Glidor. Leonidas had a missile launcher attached to his back and wings and Glidor's glider became mechanic with three cannons on it. Glidor was starting to fly around like crazy.

"How do you steer this thing?" Glidor said.

"How does it feel?" Davis said.

"A little weird." Leonidas said.

"I'm all set." Phoenixian said.

"No. You've been battling pretty hard lately and this is just a test." Flint said. "I think a couple average bakugan will be just fine. Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Pyrus Falconeer! Pyrus Gargonoid!" The falcon like and gargoyle like bakugan flew into the air. "Let's do this. Ability Activate!" Falconeer had its nails grow out and slashed against Leonidas. "Ability Activate!" Gargonoid powered up an energy blast and shot it at Glidor.

"Are you two alright?" T.K. said.

"That was nothing. Now let's see what this can do" Leonidas said. He tried to use the battle gear, but it ended up shocking him. The same thing happened to Glidor.

"What's the matter with them?" Ben said.

"Glidor and Leonidas never used anything like the battle gear before. I don't know if it's connected to their bodies or how it works, but it seems like its trouble." Waro said.

"Hang in there you two." Davis said.

"Ability Activate!" Flint said. Gargonoid's claws glowed red and he slashed against Glidor. "Ability Activate!" Falconeer was surrounded by fire and rammed against Leonidas. Both of them tried to use the battle gear, but both of them were getting shocked and it was becoming painful.

"Flint isn't holding back." Keith said.

"He's trying to push them without doing so much damage." Sorcerin said.

"Ability Activate!" Flint said and Falconeer fired red energy daggers from its wings. "Ability Activate!" A spiral of fire shot out of Gargonoid and blasted both of them and had Leonidas and Glidor crashed into each other. The onslaught and the backfire of the battle gears were making it difficult for them to fight back.

"Come on you two. Don't let the power control you." Phoenixian said.

"This isn't looking good." T.K. said.

"Maybe we should stop." Davis said.

"No. We need to keep going." Glidor said.

"Glidor's right. Diego and the Dark Stars could strike at any moment and we need to stop them." Leonidas said as he was fighting through the pain. "We won't let these things control us." Both of them were able to fight the pain and gain control of the battle gear.

"Now's the time. Use the battle gear you two." Flint said.

"Right." Both of them said.

"Battle Gear Ability Activate, Airsault Gamma!" T.K. said. Glidor flew up and powered up his three cannons and fired them as he took out Gargonoid.

"Battle Gear Ability Activate, Tanklot Barrage!" Davis said and Leonidas took aim.

"Fire!" Leonidas shouted and launched energy beams from the launcher on his back and blasted Falconeer out of the battle.

"I say the test was a success." Flint said.

"This is awesome!" Ben said.

"You said it. I can't wait to try mine." Keith said.

"Not bad. They gave them advice and gave them powerful weapons to help them. Maybe those two can be trusted." John said. Flint gave them a boost in power and has earned their trust. They've gained a step closer to beating the Dark Stars.

(Keith) It's great that I'm a brawler, but now my brother comes and sees it. Just like always, he has to put me down for it. He doesn't seem to get how much brawling means to me and he doesn't see how important it is. Maybe he can get a better understanding when he sees me take on Henry and Tyrone.
