Drago looked out at the doom dimension, tired. He has not seen Dan all day, which he should have expected. After all, the doom dimension was large, so the chance of finding someone by walking for a day was slim. However, it also worried Drago. If Drago saw Dan, he could tell if he was alright. Now, he would just have to trust that he was.

Dan's probably fine, Drago assured himself. Maybe he found another bakugan and became friends with him. I'll probably see him someday and be able to apologize.

However, that was not the only possibility that came to Drago's mind. What if he's in trouble? Drago wondered. He may have accidently gotten a bakugan angry at him, which could be dangerous here. He knew that Dan was impulsive, so saying something without thinking would be like him. In the doom dimension, where many of the bakugan are angry, saying the wrong thing may cause trouble.

Drago wished he hadn't gotten angry at Dan. He didn't mean to hurt anybody, and he was loyal to Drago. He should have let Dan stay with him. He acted like Dan was the worst partner in history; but actually, he was one of the best he could imagine. Sure he was impulsive, but he was also kind, courageous, and willing to do anything for a friend. Now, Drago could only hope that he would see Dan again.

Drago was just about to sleep when he saw two bakugan walking by. One was a Ventus bakugan and the other was a subterra bakugan. He did not know them, so he was just about to ignore them. However, there conversation caught Drago's interest.

"I hope that Halax does not hurt the human too badly," The Ventus bakugan said.

"If he does decide to, I doubt the human could defend himself." the subterra bakugan said. "He's so small."

Drago flew to the bakugan. "Did you say you saw a human?" Drago asked.

The two other bakugan jumped in surprise. "Who are you?" The subterra bakugan said.

"I apologize for intruding," Drago said, suddenly ashamed of how he acted. "My name is Delta Dragonoid, though I am often called Drago. My partner, who is human, followed me here and we got separated. I was wondering if you might have seen him."

"We did see a human with short brown hair and wearing mostly red," The Ventus bakugan said. "Is that your partner?"

"Yes, it sounds like him," Drago answered. "Is he safe?"

"I doubt it," The Subterra bakugan said. "He met a powerful bakugan named Halex who was pushing the other bakugan around, and told him to stop and said that he wasn't the most powerful bakugan and had no right to push other bakugan around. Halex did not like that, and usually he attacks people he does not like."

"Where is he?" Drago asked. "I have to save him."

"I'm not going back there," The subterra bakugan said. "If Halex is angry, I don't want to be near him."

"I'll take you to him," The Ventus bakugan said. "I know that if my partner followed me in here, I would do anything to keep her safe."

"Thank you," Drago said.

Drago followed the Ventus bakugan as she left the subterra bakugan.

"By the way, my name's Aves," The Ventus bakugan said.

"It's nice to meet you, Aves," Drago said, trying to be polite.

Drago could not believe what he heard about Dan. If anything happened to Dan, Drago would feel guilty about it. True, it was Dan's decision to stand up to the bakugan, but Drago still blamed himself. Dan was just trying to stand up for other bakugan, and Drago should have been there to save him. Tears welled up in his eyes. He wished that he did not say mean things about Dan. He would give anything just to tell Dan that he was sorry. Now, he may not get that chance.

Dan, please be safe, Drago pleaded to himself. I don't know what I would do without you.
