"So, the other's said we needed all six attributes. We dont know any Darkus players, but…" Runo said.

"Dont say it." Dan said. "I know who you guys are gonna suggest, but I will not go for it."

"Get that Shun guy on the team?" Jibanyan said.

"How do you know about Shun?" Dan asked.

"I heard your mom talking about about how you and him were good friends once while I was sneaking some of your pudding." Jibanyan said.

"Yeah, we did a test run of the whole thing, made the rules. But then he had to leave for ninja training with his grandpa." Dan said.

"Komasan knows where he is. He found that dojo by accident." Jibanyan said.

"If Dan won't go confront Shun, we'll just go to him." Runo said.

"Hey, I'm telling you, hes… and they're gone." Jibanyan said.

It was late in night when Komasan lead the two to a large dojo. "Here it is, Y'all. A dojo for those ninja types." He said.

"And we know where he is thanks to the others. We'll just go straight to him." Marucho said.

Along the way, they saw Naruto.

"You guys need a third? Figured since this is Ninja stuff, you need an actual ninja." Naruto said.

They soon met shun on the field where he was.

"So, you need my help? Get out of here. I'm retired from Bakugan." Shun said.

"Shun, remember what I said." Said a voice as a bakugan appeared.

"Whoa, that must be his partner, Skyress." Naruto said.

"You must stop running away from what's in your heart." Skyress said.

"Fine. Here's what's gonna happen. A battle. Lose, you leave my house. Win, I might consider coming back." Shun said.

"Heh. Yeah, that's the spirit!" Naruto said.

"Field Open!" The four said as the field opened up.

"Gate Card set!" They said setting the four cards.

"I'm going first! Bakugan Brawl!" Marucho said. "Terrorclaw Stand!" Terrorclaw then appeared on the field.

"Bakugan Brawl!" Shun shouted. "Ravenoid Stand!" Ravenoid then appeared on the field, flying in the sky.

"Gate Card Open! Aquos Normal!" Marucho said.

"Not so fast! Ability Activate! Tornado Pandemonium!" Shun said nullifying the gate card as Ravenoid quickly defeated Terrorclaw.

"He's good! He took out Marucho in one move!" Komasan said. "Oh my swirls he is amazing!"

"I can beat him. Bakugan Brawl!" Naruto said. "Falconeer stand!" Falconeer then appeared on the field.

"Bakugan Brawl! Ravenoid Stand!" Shun said as Ravenoid appeared. "Ability Activate! Relation between Ventus and Pyrus!" Ravenoid's power quickly increased as it quickly took out Falconeer.

"Okay, maybe not." Naruto said.

"Gate card set! Bakugan Brawl! Saurus Stand!" Runo said as Saurus appeared.

"Bakugan Brawl! Falconeer Stand!" Shun said as Falconeer appeared on the field.

"Even if I use Saurus's character, we need a strategy. Marucho, call that Limulus." Runo said.

"Right. Bakugan Brawl! Limulus Stand!" Marucho said as a trilobyte like creature appeared on the field. "Ability Activate! Hologram Drive!" Marucho said as his power equaled Falconeer.

"Bakugan Brawl! Ravenoid Stand!" Shun said calling out Ravenoid once more.

"Gate Card set! Bakugan Brawl! Tigrerra Stand!" Runo said calling out Tigrerra.

"And now, Bakugan Brawl!" Naruto said. "Pyrus Serpenoid stand!" Serpenoid then taking the field.

"Sorry, but those Bakugan won't help you." Shun said. "Bakugan Brawl! Skyress Stand!"

A blast of green flames jetted up into the sky as a bird creature with bladed feathers descended.

"Oh, no. We're in deep trouble, y'all." Komasan said.

"Ability Activate! Winds of Fury!" Shun said as every non wind Bakugan decreased by 50Gs. Skyress taking out all of them on the field with the attack.

"In...in just one move, that single bakugan…" Naruto said.

"No wonder he was ranked Number 1 before he retired." Komason said. "He's down right good."

"Now, do you still wanna continue, or will you leave me in peace?" Shun asked.

"Runo still has her Griffon, and Marucho has Preyas. And I got a Ravenoid of my own!" Naruto said.

"Then let's keep going then." Shun said as Marucho launched Preyas at Falconeer. "Gate Card Open! Positive Delta!"

"Nice try, ninja boy! Change of Attribute, Darkus!" Preyas said becoming a Darkus beast.

"Good job, Marucho!" Naruto said as Preyas took out Falconeer.

"My turn! Bakugan Brawl! Griffon Stand!" Runo said making Griffon appear against Ravenoid. "Ability Activate! Venomous Beast Torrent Attack!" Runo said swapping Griffon with Tigrerra allowing her to defeat Ravenoid.

"Yes! He only has Skyress left. We might be able to win this." Naruto said.

The three then launched their remaining Bakugan onto the field: Tigrerra, Preyas and Ravenoid.

"Ability Activate! Correlation between Aquos and Ventus!" Marucho said powering them up.

"Ability activate! Savage End!" Runo said as Tigrerra went for Skyress.

"Gate card open!" Shun shouted as Skyress's character card activated. "Ability activate! Fire Storm!" Shun said as Skyress's power increased for every Bakugan on the field. Skyress attacked all three Bakugan on the field, knocking them all out.

"Game Over! Winner: Shun Kazami!" The voice said.

"We lost." Naruto said.

"But… all of you did put up a good fight. You had me down to Skyress, and that never has happened. But, I will never return to Bakugan." Shun said as the field vanished. "Now get out of my house."

Back at the Star Speeder….

"Was I wrong to say Shun would kick your ass?" Hope said to Naruto.

"No. I knew how strong Shun was even before we battled. I felt so overwhelmed." Naruto said.

"Even with you there, this event had to go this way. Otherwise, we risk seriously altering the timeline." Jexi said.

"Now, one of us has to go help Dan when Masquarade goes to get Shun." Hope said.

"Count me in." Natsu said stepping up. "I want a piece of that masked freak. I'm all fired up for it."

"No, natsu. It would be unbalanced. Wendy, Grandeenoid hasnt had her chance, you go." Hope said before not seeing the girl.

"Uh, no one's seen Wendy or her Bakugan all day." Lucy pointed out.

"You dont think…" Jexi said before a familiar face appeared on the screen. "Hello, Dimensional Losers! Guess who's here! You're favorite villain!" Flux said.

"You stole Wendy!" Natsu said.

"That Sky weakling? Havent seen her on my ship. Oh wait, I know why. Maybe its because I've already handed her over to Masquerade to use as a soldier." Flux grinned.

"Now we cant go. Otherwise we have to battle Wendy." Hope said.

"I'll still do it." Natsu said. "Wendy is family of Fairy Tail. Its the job of the members of the family to get their wayward members back."

"Go. We're counting on you." Hope said.

"Oh, Hopeless. So predictable of you to use a balance." Flux said. "Have fun with the fun Masquerade has in store tomorrow." He said before the screen cut out.

Meanwhile….

"So, you wont help me get shun on my side?" Masquarade said.

"No. I'm not some kid like when Oracion Seis tricked me." Wendy said.

"It seems some more drastic measures are required." Said a new voice as a man with green skin and pointed ears appeared out of the wall. "Hal-G!"

"Ah! A creepy goblin man!" Wendy screamed. "Sky dragons Veil!"

A curtain of wind then enveloped Wendy, and she was gone.

"Urgh, sneaky little rat. No matter. She has no way of getting out of our fortress or anyway back to her friends. She's like a mouse in a maze, constantly running about." Hal G said.

"I'll just go and Get shun, with or with out her." Masquerade said teleporting.
