Wendy ran through the complex but then found herself cornered by a robot.

"Target found. Sorry kid. But no one gets away from Grenade Man! Normally, I blow my targets to smithereens, but the boss wants you alive." Grenade Man said.

Suddenly a shadow was seen.

"Dont fear, wendy! I'm here to help!" Said a voice as Natsu appeared.

"Natsu? How did you?" Wendy said.

"White Swan Arabesque!" Natsu said kicking at Grenade Man.

"Wait a minute. Checking database. Match for move found. Heh. So you got out of the experimentation cell huh? Course with your abilities, I ain't surprised….Mr. 2" Grenade Man said.

"No way…. It cant be…" Wendy said.

"It can, Wendy! The White Swan has returned after a long stay at Impel Down!" Natsu said before becoming Mr. 2.

"You were suppose to be scheduled for a special surgery today. Guess I gotta do it for them." Grenade Man said aiming a grenade launcher at him.

"Wendy!" Mr. 2 said.

"Sky Dragon's….Roar!" Wendy shouted blowing the robot back.

"Nice. Now, we need to get out of here. I may have ticked off a lot of the guards." Mr. 2 said as shouting was heard further down the hall.

"Bon, how did you get out of Impel Down? When we saw you in Luffy's memories, we though you were dead at Magellan's hands." Wendy said.

"Well, I was barely able to escape and make my way back to Level 5.5. I'm the Newkama Queen there. Anyway, Flux knew about my abilities, wormed his way into Level 5.5 and captured me and hid me as he was released." Mr. 2 said. "After all this is over, I might just go back there."

"RIght now, we have to get to Dan and Natsu. I think if we see where Masquarade is before they open the field, i can get there too."

"I'm afraid you are too late! Hal G!" Hal G said coming out of the wall. "You can't get Masquerade, because he's already left to recruit Shun, just as how I will recruit the two of you."

Far away, Wendy heard the 2 on 2 battle almost begin.

"Shun, dont tell me Masquarade already got to you?" Wendy said.

"Hey now! Don't tell me you're doubting ninja boy. He's a friend right! You gotta put more faith in him!" Mr. 2 said.

"Right! I need wait until… Now! Field Open!" Wendy said as the two found themselves on a field.

"Gate card set!" They heard the four said before setting their gate cards.

"Natsu! Gate gard set!" Wendy said only to get an error noise.

"Sorry, brat. Battle's already begun. But you get to watch me destroy them. Bakugan Brawl!" Masquerade said. "Laser Man Stand!"

Laser man then appeared.

"I'm glad Wendy's okay, but Bon too? Never mind, Bakugan Brawl! Pyrus Serpenoid stand!" Natsu said launching it onto a different card.

"Ha! Ability Activate! Leap Sting!" Masquerade said as Laser Man fired at Serpenoid, sending it into the doom Dimension. "See, Laser Man, can attack from anywhere on the field." Masuerade said.

"Bakugan Brawl! Stinglash Stand!" Dan said as stinglash appeared behind Laserman as well.

"Hmph. Leap Sting again!" Masquerade said sending Stinglash to the Doom Dimension.

"Not good. He's walking all over them!" Bon said.

"Bakugan Brawl! Monarus Stand!" Shun said as Monarus appeared.

"Bakugan Brawl! Reaper Stand!" Masquerade said as Reaper appeared on the field.

"That's the last time you ever come outta that ball, Drago!" Reaper said.

"Says you! Gate Card set!" Dan said. "Bakugan Brawl! Gargonoid Stand!" Gargonoid then appeared on the field.

"Ability activate! Air Battle!" Shun said as Monarus began flying outside of the card zone until flying to Gargonoid and defeating it.

"That's it! Time for a Dragon Double team!" Natsu said.

"Gotcha." Dan said.

"Bakugan Brawl!" Both said launching at Reaper.

"Drago Stand!" Dan said.

"Igneeloid Stand!" Natsu said.

"Ha! You feel for the trap! Gate card open! Third Judgement!" Masquerade said. "Time for the introduction of our star! Bakugan Brawl! Hydranoid Stand!" Masquerade said as a purple lizard like creature appeared on the field.

"Whoa, so that's Masquarade's partner in crime." Natsu said.

"And his starting Gs are 450? I've never seen such a powerful Bakugan." Dan said.

"Indeed human. I am...the strongest Bakugan of them all! I feed off the powers of the weaklings I send to the Doom Dimension!" Hydranoid said.

"This is not good. Natsu and Dan are in real trouble." Wendy said.

"Ability Activate! Boosted Dragon!" Dan said powering up Drago, with it being 10Gs weaker than Hydranoid.

"I can't let it be this way. Ability Activate! Scarlet Twister!" Shun said as Drago and Igneeloid were swept over to Monarus's card with both dragon's defeating it before returning.

"That was lucky for them. In that case…" Masquarade said as Hydranoid struck Reaper.

"What the hell are you doing? He's your friend, isn't he?" Natsu shouted.

"Friend? He's nothing but a tool. One who's services are no longer required." Masquerade said.

"You will pay for this, Masquerade!" Reaper said as he fell into the Doom Dimension.

The two dragon users then launched their dragons back onto the field.

"Bakugan Brawl! Falconeer stand!" Shun said launching Falconeer on a different card.

"Gate card open! Triple Battle!" Dan said as Shun's Skyress was thrown into battle.

"What? Shun?" Masquerade said.

"Masquerade! I will not join with you. All you do is use people...and steal their Bakugan! I don't want anything to do with you!" Shun shouted.

"Does this mean….?" Wendy said.

"You'll get my answer, as soon as Masquerade and the battle are over with." Shun said.

"Heh. Ability Activate! Chaos of the Darkness!" Masquerade said as Hydranoid gained a power boost and fired at the three.

"Ability activate! Firewall!" Dan said raising Drago's power.

"Its not working!" Hydranoid yelled as he glowed purple with Masquerade's card vanishing. Hydranoid then began firing randomly with a shot hitting Falconeer, sending it into the Doom Dimension.

"Heh. Hydranoid….is evolving." Masquerade grinned.

"I wont let him get his Dual form! Abiiity activate! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu said as Igneeloid gained a power boost just as Hydranoid sent Laser Man to the Doom Dimension.

"This shall stop you for now!" Igneeloid said delivering a punch to Hydranoid's mouth, sending it back to Masquerade.

"Hmm. You got lucky this time. But the time for change is coming very soon." Masquerade said teleporting away.

Wendy quickly Grabbed Natsu's hand as the field closed, as did Bon.

Back at the ship….

"BON!" Luffy said.

"Well, I figured before I left this town and went into hiding, I figured I could visit first." Bon said.

"Man, we all thought you were dead." Naruto said.

"Nope. I survived and I hope that once everything is tied away with, to go back and resume my post as Newkama Queen of Level 5.5!" Bon declared.

"We got trouble, guys!" Indigo said.

"What is it?" Hope said.

"Masquerade has led the battlers from 10th to 2nd into some mansion." Indigo said.

"This is just like in the journal. Masquerade recruits five of the top ten battlers onto his side to defeat the Brawlers." Jexi said.

"Billy, Subterra brawler and 10th place. We already met him." Gajeel said.

"Then there's Komb O'Charlee. Ventus Brawler and ranked 5th." Sonic said.

"Next is Julio Santana, a Haos Brawler. Ranked 4th place." Rise said.

"Then comes Chan Lee. Pyrus Brawler and 3rd ranking." Ranma said.

"Finally, there's Klaus Von Herzen. An Aquos Brawler from Europe. 2nd Place." Juvia said.

"And all of them have their own special bakugan partners. Cycloid, Harpus, Tentaclear, Fortress and Sirenoid." Sugarcoat said.

"Our only option now is to follow the brawlers as the head to Bakugan Valley to search for the missing infinity core." Hope said.

"I'll have to agree. Flux already tried to interfere once by kidnapping Wendy. He's gonna do it again." Jexi said.

"And we'll be ready. Franky, set course for Bakugan Valley, ahead full!" Hope said.

"But this is a boat, not a plane." Usopp said.

"Heh. Actually, I've made a few mods to the ship just for occasions like this! Engaging Special Dock 1!" Franky said as wings popped out of the side of the SUnny. "Welcome to Air Sunny, one of the four special dockings I installed to help us out." Franky said.

"Cool! Can this really fly like a rocket?" USApyon asked.

"Only one way to see. This is the first test flight." Franky said.

"What?!" they all said in shock as the ship rocketed into the sky like a cannonball.
