Alice came into view of a hero. One of the Mountain Conquerors, Zoro himself, as he waited outside for her to arrive.

"Zoro, are you sure you should just wait there instead of going to the gate?" Said Jexi over the comm.

"I'll be fine. It's just a little bit of wind." Zoro said.

"At least he didnt get lost. But why him today?" Hope asked.

"Well, there was a battle reported in the journal before it was erased. Zoro's our strongest so he should handle it with ease." Jexi said.

"And this is the place to be. I'll just wait here until both parties show." Zoro said standing there as a plane flew over his head.

A few minutes later, Runo and Marucho with Alice, as well as two other boys and a girl.

"Finally. I was getting bored." Zoro said his hands on his swords.

"Zoro, you have to use your bakugan, remember?" Hope said.

"Oh, right. I've got em. And thank Sunset for providing me three of them." Zoro said.

He then jumped down to the others.

"Zoro?" The three said.

"Don't get in my way. They've just been marked by me." Zoro said.

"You work with them. Marucho's an Aquos, and those two in front are Pyrus and darkus." Alice said.

"I don't need to be informed. I just need to know how deep to cut them." Zoro said taking out a card.

"This guy's kinda scaring me, Takashi." Said one of the boys.

"Don't fall for it, Kosuke. It's just a scare tactic to hide how weak he really is." Takashi said.

"Oh, I don't bluff kid." Zoro said.

"Well we aren't backing down. If we win, Miu's brother Makoto will return to her. We won't lose to someone like you!" Takashi said.

"Then bring it." Zoro said.

"Field Open!" He said with the four, getting Miu and Alice in.

"Doom Card, set!" The two said.

"Gate card set!" All five shouted.

"Mind if I get the first throw?" Zoro asked the two brawlers behind him.

"Sure. Go for it." Marucho said.

"Heh. Bakugan Brawl!" Zoro shouted. "Snee, Stand!" Zoro said as a creature in ragged clothing, wielding a blue sword and a straw hat appeared. "Snee."

"Another talking, unique Bakugan?! Incredible!" Marucho said.

"Thanks Sunset. What they don't know is that the three Bakugan in my party are actually a trio of sword fighting Yo-kai that Sunset had take on the form of Bakugan just to help me." Zoro thought to himself.

"Me next! Bakugan Brawl!" Marucho said. "Robotallion, Stand!" Robotallion then took to the field.

"An Aquos Robotallion?" Kosuke said. "I'll try this. Bakugan Brawl! Darkus Robotallion Stand!" Another Robotallion then stood against Marucho's Robotallion.

"Gate Card Open! Character Card!" Marucho said as both Robotallions powered up.

"Thanks for the power boost. Now, Ability Activate! Combination of Aquos and Darkus!" Kosuke said.

"Crap! That gives his robotallion an extra boost because those attributes are adjacent to each other." Zoro said as Marucho's Robotallion is sent to the Doom Dimension. "But, it give me a chance. Ability Activate! Fallen Comrades Revenge!" Zoro said.

"A new ability card? What does that do?" Takashi asked.

"I can only use this ability when Snee is out and when a teammates Bakugan is defeated. Once I use it, Snee and the victor have to go against each other, with Snee gaining an additional power boost equal to that of the defeated Bakugan." Zoro said.

"But Snee is 300 and Robotallion had 620 Gs. That means…" Kosuke said.

"Your buddy's on a one way trip to hell." Zoro said as Darkus Robotallion faced against Snee, only to be sliced in half and defeated.

"Poor Bakugan's!" Miu said.

"Time to get back for Marucho, Bakugan Brawl!" Runo siad. "Saurus Stand!" Saurus then appeared on the field.

"Gate Card Set!" Takashi said. "Bakugan Brawl! Pyrus Serpenoid Stand!" Serpenoid then appeared on the field.

"Okay, now i-" Marucho started.

"Wait!" Alice said. "Both players are Pyrus and Darkus, which means they can use a diagonal relation with each other."

"Bakugan Brawl! Fear Ripper Stand!" Kosuke said as Fear Ripper appeared on Saurus's card. "Ability activate! Diagonal relation between Pyrus and Darkus!" He added as Fear Ripper increased in power, defeating Saurus and sending it into the Doom Dimension.

"Gate card set! Bakugan Brawl!" Runo said. "Griffon stand!"

"Gate card set! Bakugan Brawl!" Marucho said. "Terrorclaw Stand!"

Both Terrorclaw and Griffon appeared on the respective thrown cards.

"Bakugan Brawl! Gargonoid Stand!" Takashi said. "Ability Activate! Rapid Fire!" He added as Kosuke threw in a Darkus Juggernoid into the mix.

"Not good Marucho, if you have something planned-" Runo said.

"I do! Gate Card open! Trade off!" Marucho said as both Juggernoid and Gargonoid are defeated in one fell swoop.

"Trade off is a command card that takes out any Bakugan with a power level over 400gs." Alice said.

Marucho sent out Terrorclaw again, but Takashi and Kosuke used a battle sham to send it right to the doom dimension.

"Dang. This is getting tricky. I gotta start pulling my own weight." Zoro said. "Bakugan Brawl! Sheen Stand!" A swords man in a blue scarf with an orange sword and straw hat then appeared on the field. "Sheen!"

"Wait, Snee, Sheen, who's the last one?" Marucho asked.

"Gleam. They're my ultimate Subterra Swordsman trio." Zoro said.

"Let's keep it up! Bakugan Brawl! Tigrerra Stand!" Runo said as Tigrerra appeared next to Sheen.

"That doenst scare me! I'll just go after Griffon, Bakugan Brawl! Falconer, Stand!" Takashi said as Falconeer appeared in front of Griffon.

"Ability Activate! Cut in Sabre!" Runo shouted as Tigrerra leapt over to Griffon to defend it. "And now, Gate Card open! Quartet Battle!"

Preyas, Robotallion and Gleam all joined into battle. They saw a golden creature with a golden sword, red scarf and a golden straw hat. "Gleam!"

"Brother Gleam, Let's do that!" Sheen said.

"Agreed. Zoro!"

"Ability Activate! Brotherhood of Samurai!" Zoro said. "When I have two of my three swordsmen out on the field, they can double team and take out all enemy Bakugan on the field."

"Now let's end them!" Tigrerra said as all of them charged, taking out the opponent.

"Takashi, dont go any further!" Miu said. "Please. Just stop." She said crying.

"Did you two ever consider….that she might not have wanted to fight like this?" Gleam asked them. "When I was still alive, I would see these faces all the time. You must not always be hasty but instead focus on the wants of others first and not jump into harsh action yourself."

"Yeah. We werent thinking straight. Doom Card, out!" They said as the doom cards were pulled out of the ground.

"We didnt finish the battle but… I can see how that goes. When I first met luffy, he had this look on his face. I swear he was the son of the Devil himself. Its that determination that makes me proud to follow him." Zoro said.

"You guys have great pasts." Alice said.

"You guys do too. You can trust me on that." Zoro said as the field returned to normal.
