As Dan was heading out to go do some brawling for the day, he was surprised to see Jibanyan cuddling up to his mom.
"Uh, what's with the cat, mom?" Dan asked.
"Oh, I found this adorable little cutie out in our yard, so I took him in as a pet. Now, have fun out there." His mother said as Dan went out the door. "And I'll get you more chocolate bars. You really seem to like those."
As she left, Jibanyan noticed the other three cats looking in on him. He quickly hurried to the window shade. "I've outgrown you." He whispered before shutting the blinds.
"That cat is dead the moment he gets out here." Pantherlily said.
Meanwhile with Dan, healong with Luffy, Pit and Natsu were hanging out in the park. "So,Drago's working well with you now? Seems pretty strange to me." Pit said.
"Yeah. No one changes that quickly." Luffy said.
"Whatever. We just click together, thats all. Destiny brought us together." Dan said. "But Luffy, I'm wondering, why did you jump into the battle like that?"
"I didn't want anymore of my new friends to go away, so I was willing to fight for them." Luffy said. "That's all there is to it. I could have beat that stupid mask guy if they didn't say it was against the rules."
"Okay. You're a weird guy so I'm just gonna ignore it for now." Dan said.
As Dan headed for the bridge, he spotted Lucy being confronted by a boy with spiky red hair.
"Look, will you just let me go? I have things to do today." Lucy said.
"No way. You're friends with Dan Kuso and I need to battle him or my name isn't Rikimaru!" He said.
"Hey, you looking for me?" Dan asked as he approached the two. "Cause if its a brawl you want, I'll give it." Dan said.
"I was hoping you'd show. Cause I got a couple of cards picked out special for you." Rikimaru said showing two cards, one of which happened to be the Doom Card itself.
"The Doom Card!" Drago said.
"Where does a poser like you get a Doom Card from?" Dan asked.
"I got my connections." Rikimaru said strapping on a familiar launcher.
"No way! You're working for Masquerade?" Dan said.
"Do what you want, I'm opening the field." Rikimaru said as the field opened up for the three.
"Gate card set!" All three said placing their gate cards.
"Gate Card set!" Rikimaru said tossing another one. "Bakugan Brawl! Robotallion Stand!" He said as a Robotallion appeared.
"He's using an Aquos Bakugan! Lets think our next move through first." Drago said.
"No time for that. Gate Card Set! Bakugan Brawl! Falconeer stand!" Dan shouted as Falconeer appeared on the new gate card.
"Hmm. Gate Card set!" Rikimaru said throwing another one.
"Why isn't he attacking? Is he setting something up?" Lucy wondered.
"Bakugan Brawl! Juggernoid Stand!" Rikimaru shouted as Juggernoid appeared on the new gate card.
"Oh, yeah! I'll beat your numbers with my numbers! Bakugan Brawl! Griffon Stand!" Dan shouted as a lion with wings and a serpent tail appeared.
"Gotcha. Bakugan Brawl! Stand, Aquos Siege!" Rikimaru shouted as a creature in royal like clothing appeared on the field. "Ability Activate! Tsunami Wave!" He shouted as Siege summoned a large wave that sent every single Bakugan on the field into the Doom Dimension.
"Clever. He set a trap so he could do a full sweep. Good thing I didn't send any Bakugan out." Lucy said.
"Now its your turn, girlie! Bakugan Brawl! Seige, stand!" Rikimaru said.
"Gonna need something to help. I know! Bakugan Brawl! Scorpio, Stand!" Lucy said
Scorpio then appeared.
"What the?! What Kinda Bakugan is that?!" Rikimaru said.
"The wicked kind, obviously!" Scorpio said posing.
"Never mind, he's dead! Ability activate! Aquos Javalien!" Rikimaru said.
"Counter ability activate! Sand Buster!" Lucy said.
"All right! Time for a real desert storm!" Scorpio said firing sand from his tail and knocking the Javelin out of Siege's hands. Scorpio the attacked Siege and the battle was done.
"I dont believe it! She beat a super-rare Bakugan using a weird new Bakugan I never even heard of. He said...this would be a sure thing." Rikimaru said.
"Now's the time to finish this! Bakugan Brawl! Drago, Stand!" Dan said tossing Drago out.
"Me too! Go, Taurus!" Lucy said.
Taurus then appeared. "Hey, miss Lucy. If I beat this guy, you gonna give me a smooch?" Taurus asked.
"We can talk about it after beating Siege." Lucy said.
"Mooo! I'm so over it than!" Taurus said.
"Boosted Dragon!" Dan said activating the ability but neither Drago nor Taurus moved.
"It has to be a trap, doesent it?" Taurus asked Drago. "I got this bad feeling we be walking into a trap."
"Yes, beating him seems almost too easy." Drago said.
"Pyrus… activate!" Rikimaru said. "This Gate card switches the power level of any Pyrus Bakugan who's on it."
" I knew it! If Dan had used my support card, he wouldve won." Drago said.
"And he is gonna win. Lucy!" Taurus said.
"Ability Activate! Rampage!" Lucy shouted.
"Moo! Gate Card goes bye bye!" Taurus said swinging his axe down on the card, breaking it and nullifying it.
"No! Impossible!" Rikimaru said in shock.
"You should have thought twice before picking a fight with my wizard." Taurus said raising his axe and landing the finishing blow on Juggernoid.
"That was too close." Lucy said. "Is charging in and shooting stuff and asking questions later all you do, Dan? I thought you'd be more mature than this."
"Look. We won, what's the big deal?" Dan said.
"The big deal is that if you had waited like I told you, you would have known something was up and took care of the first Aquos Bakugan before going for the other." Drago said. "Because of that mistake, two of my comrades are gone to the Doom Dimension!"
"If that's how you really feel…" Dan said. "Then i guess this deal is done!" He said tossing Drago right into the river.
"Goodbye, Drago." Dan said walking off as Lucy looked down at the river.
