A/N: Here's Chapter 3! I know I said I wouldn't have it up till Friday but I had some unexpected time to work on it. :) Thanks for all the reviews last chapter. Warning, this may contain the worst battle scene you've ever read.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bakugan.

"Master Spectra? Master Spectra?" Gus called as he led Runo, Julie, Alice, and pseudonym into the throne room.

"Hello, care for a brawl?" a man called from beside the throne.

"What are you doing here, I thought it was made clear that your kind is not welcome here. Where's Master Spectra?" yelled Gus clenching his fists.

The man smirked and gestured to the others behind Gus, "Come now, friend, don't ruin my fun. I haven't had a decent opponent to battle for ages!"

Gus turned to the girls and pseudonym and whispered, "When I count to three run. There's another exit down the side hall after two lefts. I don't know if he has reinforcements guarding the main exit, so it's best to not take chances.

Runo scoffed, "What's so scary about him? I could take him with my hands tied behind my back and blindfolded."

"You don't understand. They've got superior brawling technology to yours, mobile assault vehicles and who knows what else. They're even a match for me. The only one with a hope of beating them is Spectra and he's not here." Gus tried to talk Runo out of it. Though he did so in vain, Runo had made up her mind.

"I'll battle you!" Runo yelled stepping forward and taking out Tigrerra and her first gate card.

Two shouts of "Gate card set! Bakugan brawl!" sounded in perfect unison as Runo and her opponent set their gate cards. Time stopped throughout the rest of the palace. Runo threw Tigrerra, "Haos Blade Tigrerra stand!"

The man threw a subterra bakugan that Runo hadn't ever seen before.

"Subterra Avior stand!"

"Cut N' Saber! Go Tigrerra go!" Runo yelled.

"Is that the best you can do?" hissed Avior only stumbling back a step after Tigrerra had finished slashing at him with her claws.

"It barely fazed him!" Runo exclaimed in shock.

"Finish her off Avior. This battle is boring me already." the guy said then played his own ability that bowled Tigrerra right over, sending her back to Runo.

"I'd say I told you so, but I think you've already figured out I was right." Gus said, "Mason Brown of the Gundalians is not to be taken as a joke. He's a strong battler, one of the best besides Master Spectra and your friend Daniel Kuso."

Runo didn't pay attention to Gus's lecture and threw Tigrerra back out with renewed fury, "Haos reactor! Now Light blitz delta!" Avior cried out and transformed back into a ball at Mason's feet once he was hit with the powerful ability that Runo and Tigrerra had unleashed on him.

Gus's mouth hung open, "How did you beat him when I lost to him….? No fair I want a rematch!"

"Avior! How could you lose like that!" Mason scolded his bakugan, picking him up and waving goodbye as he disappeared in a shaft of light, "See you around, Runo." and then he was gone.

Alice congratulated her, "Good job, Runo!"

"Yeah those Gundalians are no match for you!" Julie squealed, "Now when do me and Gorem get to kick some Gundalian butt?"

Gus snapped at them, "Come on now. We must find Master Spectra, there's no time for a victory party."

They walked through the maze of hallways in search of Spectra and after an hour everyone was irritated with Gus.

"Who designed this stupid place? We've probably been walking in circles!" Runo complained.

"Actually it would be squares." commented Gorem.

"If we were going in circles-" Gus started to say.

"Squares." Gorem corrected Gus.

"Whatever! Squares we would have found my glove that I dropped while we were walking."

"Isn't that your glove over there?" Pseudonym smirked pointing it out.

Gus paled, "I am not lost!" he yelled sounding like he was trying to convince himself too.

Meanwhile somewhere else in the palace….

"How'd it go, Mason?"

Mason didn't answer and walked past her, scowling.

"That bad huh? You want me to go destroy 'em? Me and Lyriconoid are pumped and ready to go!"

"Why don't you go make yourself useful and find Becky, that girl is always running off to sight-see and what not. The sooner we conquer this stupid planet the better. And we will succeed in taking over this planet and we won't fail miserably like those 12 orders are with Neathia." Mason snapped pointing at the exit.

She transported herself from the room, happy to be out of their hideout. It was so small and cramped but in the perfect position to be able to spy on those pesky vestal brawlers that lived in the palace. She talked to her guardian bakugan as she walked, "Okay we'll go find Becky then we'll deal with those brawlers! It'll be fun! So where do you think Becky is?"

A/N: Review please! :)
