"Masquerade, huh?" Natsu said walking with dan.
"Yeah. Apparently he goes around taking out Brawlers and somehow erasing their Bakugan whenever they lose." Dan said.
"The Doom Dimension." Drago said in his ball form.
"The wha-?" Natsu asked. "Boom Brehension?"
"No, Doom Dimension. A separate space which is a Graveyard for our kind. Many go in, but never return." Igneeloid said.
"Are you serious? You mean if I lose, you go bye bye?" Natsu shouted.
"It's best if we dont challenge this guy." Ranma said. "Speaking off, Shuji was supposed to challenge you with some Ventus guys. Who went instead of you?"
"Someone from your little group of friends. Someone named...Nico Robin?" Dan said.
Meanwhile…
"So I get a Darkus woman instead of Dan? Not sure how I feel about taking on a woman." Shuji said.
"My. A gentleman. How about...if you win, I have to do you a favor?" Robin asked.
"Yes! A date is in my future! Okay, let's do it!" Shuji said.
"Field Open!" The two said.
"Time to see what this Shadow's Edge group is made of." Shuji chuckled.
In a few minutes, he was already down to a single Bakugan as Robin giggled. "What happened to beating me? Giving up already?" Robin asked him.
"She… she hasnt even lost one Bakugan! What kinda woman is this?" Shuji said.
"Yep, he's screwed." Akira said.
"Well, Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Go Falconeer!" Shuji shouted.
"Adorable. Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Attack Laserman!" Robin said as a creature with multiple laser cannons appeared.
"Oh, no." Shuji said as a flash overtook him.
"Man, I feel sorry for him." Luffy said. He just beat his own opponent. "Now who's next?"
"I am." Said a voice in the shadows as a blonde man with a mask appeared.
"Youre that Masquerade guy! Give those kids their Bakumen back!" Luffy shouted.
"Take me on and I'll gladly do that." Masquarade said.
"Count me in!" Dan said.
"No, Daniel, wait!" Drago said.
"Field…. Open!" The three said as the field opened up with the three tossing down their gate cards.
"Doom card set." Masquerade said dropping a card into the ground as a pulse went throughout the field.
"Bakugan Brawl! Reaper, stand!" Masquerade shouted as a Grim Reaper like Bakugan appeared.
"Whoa. A lot more menacing then the reapers I'm use to." Pit said.
"And those ones just freak out." Viridi added.
"I'm still kicking that guy's ass! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Pyrus Terrorclaw!" Luffy shouted.
"Bakugan Brawl, Bakugan Stand! Go, Serpenoid!" Dan shouted.
The two bakugan landed on the same card as Reaper.
"They're on my gate card! Now, Open!" Luffy said. "Land Pre-"
"Ability card activate. Dimension 4!" Masquerade said deactivating the gate card before it could activate.
"In a split second, he turned the tables?" Dan said as Reaper defeated both of them, a dark portal opening behind them, sending them into a dark dimension.
"Urgh! Gate card set! Go, Saurus!" Dan shouted.
"Get em, Robotallion!" Luffy said as they appeared.
"If we cant use gate cards, we'll use abilities! Saurus Glow!" Dan said.
"Robotallion Enforcement!" Luffy shouted.
"Not good enough. Ability Activate, Double Dimension." Masquerade said.
"He can negate abilities too?" Dan said as Reaper sent those two right into the Doom Dimension as well.
"I've had it!" Luffy shouted tossing a Gate Card and jumping right onto it.
"Rule Violation! You cant call yourself as a Bakugan." Masquerade said.
"Aw, man!" Luffy said as he was knocked back.
"No worries Luffy, I got this! Bakugan Brawl! Drago, Stand!" Dan said as Drago appeared on the field.
"Heh. Bakugan Brawl! Reaper, stand!" Masquerade said as Reaper appeared on the same card.
"Now you go there as well, Drago." Reaper said.
"Not today. Gate card open! Firestorm!" Dan shouted activating the ability.
"This has gone on long enough! Ultimate Boost!" Drago shouted gaining an incredible amount of power and blasting away the field.
"A tie? And that Masquerade guy is gone, too." Luffy said.
"Just who was he? He had us pinned against a wall until Drago pulled off that tie." Natsu said.
"Who ever he was… I think we have a whole new problem now." Ranma said.
