Chapter 9: Bond!
After failing to help Dan in any way that she can, Runo met up with Alice at her family's café.
"So, how was Dan?" Alice asked.
Runo became rather sad.
"You should have seen him, Alice. It was like his entire courage and love for battling was gone after the match with Drava." Runo replied.
"I wished I could do more for him…" Runo explained.
Runo began to slightly cry.
"My lady." Tigrerra said.
"Runo…" Alice said.
Then, Alice put her hand on Runo's shoulder.
Runo slightly blushed.
"It's okay. Everything is going to be alright, Runo. Believe me, I know." Alice explained.
"Alice." Runo said.
Runo and Alice hugged each other.
"Thanks for being here, Alice." Runo said.
"I'm always here for you when you needed it the most, Runo." Alice said.
Runo simply smiled.
Alice smiled back.
"I just hope it could be the same for Dan, though." Alice explained.
"Yeah…" Runo said.
Meanwhile, back at the Kuso residence, Miyoko and Shinjiro were worried about the condition of their son and Drago.
"I hope that everything is okay…" Miyoko explained.
"I hope so too…" Shinjiro said.
Dan was in his room, thinking about the very harsh reality that Drava gave him.
"That guy…He really got into me…" Dan thought.
"It's because you weren't giving it your all as a brawler." Drava said, in a flashback from earlier.
"It's like you lose your entire courage to fight…" Drava said, in another flashback from earlier.
Dan began to grip on his goggles.
Dan gritted on his teeth.
"Dan." Drago said.
Drago went onto Dan's hair.
"Drago." Dan said.
"Are you alright, my friend?" Drago asked.
Dan didn't exactly know.
"I-I really can't tell." Dan replied.
"I'm sorry, Dan. It was my fault that we had lost the match…" Drago explained.
"No…It's my fault too, pal." Dan said.
"And the worst part is, he was right." Dan explained.
"We should at the very least have a rematch with them." Drago explained.
Dan smiled.
"Agreed." Dan said.
Dan then grabbed his Baku Charger as he and Drago headed out.
Runo was secretly watching Dan, so she and Tigrerra decided to follow the duo.
"Drava! Come out, Drava!" Dan hollered.
Then, Drava appeared out.
"Man, you have such a loud voice." Drava explained.
"We want a rematch, Drava." Dan explained.
"No holding back!" Drago hollered.
"You sure about that?" Balata asked.
"You'll end up losing again." Drava explained.
Dan smirked.
"We won't know unless we try!" Dan hollered.
Dan and Drava took out their field cards.
- Field open! – Dan and Drava hollered in unison.
- Field open! – Runo hollered.
Everything began to freeze in an instant.
Dan and Drava have entered the battlefield, along with Runo.
Dan was surprised to see Runo.
"Runo?" Dan asked.
"Dan. I'm sorry that I came in without asking. But, I am worried about you." Runo replied.
"You're still hurting from before. I want to help. If there's anything that is bothering you, just tell me." Runo explained.
Dan smiled at Runo's unquestioned courage.
"Runo. Alright. I get it." Dan said.
Runo smiled.
"I know that pretty face. Is that your girlfriend?" Drava asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes. We've been dating for six years now." Runo replied.
"You didn't have to bring that up…" Dan explained.
"Anyway, let's throw down!" Dan hollered.
- Gate Card set! – Dan, Runo and Drava hollered in unison.
Therefore, the players launched their gate cards into the field.
"Drago!" Dan hollered.
"Tig!" Runo hollered.
"Right!" Drago and Tigrerra hollered in unison.
Dan and Runo clutched their partners within their fists.
- Bakugan Brawl! – Dan and Runo hollered un unison, throwing their partners.
Drago and Tigress was sent flying to the field.

Tigrerra went from ball form to her natural state.

Tigrerra roared.
- Bakugan Brawl! – Drava shouted, throwing Balata.
Balata was sent flying to the field.
- Bakugan Stand! – Drava hollered.
Balata went from ball form to his natural state.

Balata roared viciously.
- Ability Activate! – Dan hollered, activating an ability card from his hand.
- Dragon Astral! – Dan shouted.

"They mean business." Balata explained.
- Ability Activate! – Runo hollered, activating an ability card from her hand.
- Metal Fang! – Runo shouted.
400 G Power was added to Tigrerra' status.
Tigrerra then charged at Balata.
Balata managed to dodge.
Tigress gritted his teeth.
"No…" Tigerra said.
"It's alright, my friend. I'll handle this." Drago explained.
Drago charged at Balata.
Drava smirked.
- Ability Activate! – Drava hollered, activating an ability card from his hand.
- Dreaded Trestle! – Drava shouted.
600 G power was added to Balata's status.
Balata unleashed a very powerful fire storm.
Tigrerra realized that the move is heading at Drago.
"Drago!" Tigerra hollered.
Tigerra pushed Drago out of the way as he took the fall instead.
"Tig!" Runo hollered.
Tigerra was then returned to Runo.
"I'm sorry, Runo." Tigress said.
"Tig…" Runo said.
Dan then gritted his teeth.
"You're going to pay." Dan said.
"Go, Drago!" Dan hollered.
"Right!" Drago hollered.
"Balata!" Drava hollered.
"As you wish!" Balata hollered.
Drago and Balata battled each other.
After each attack, Balata was getting the upper hand on Drago.
Soon, Drago received a lot of damage.
"Drago…" Dan said.
"Balata." Drava said.
Balata attacked Drago.
Runo cover her eyes.
"Drago!" Dan hollered.
"Dan…" Drago said.
"Counterattack him!" Dan hollered.
Drago followed Dan's command.
However, Balata hit him again.
"Why do you keep on fighting?" Drava asked.
"I don't need to tell you!" Dan hollered.
"Our bond…Our bond is much stronger than you will ever know…" Dan explained.
"That's right. We have many powerful foes in the past to prove it…" Drago explained.
Drava smirked.
"Well, let's see if your bond can withstand this…" Drava said.
"Balata!" Drava hollered.
Drava began to unleash a powerful attack on Dan and Runo.
"Dan!" Drago hollered.
Drago began to covered Dan and Runo as he began to undergo a massive change.
Dan and Runo became overwhelmed.
"Drago…!" Dan hollered.
Drago has evolved again. But this time as Pyrus Exceed Dragonoid!
"I…I've evolved again…" Drago said.
"You look cooler than before, Drago!" Runo hollered.
Drago agreed with Runo's comment.
"No matter what happens, we will always fight to the end!" Dan hollered.
"Do your thing, Dan!" Drago hollered.
- Ability Activate! – Dan hollered, activating an ability card from his hand.
- Guardia EX! – Dan shouted.
700 G power was added to Drago's status.
Drago synchronized a holy fire circle at Balata.
Balata was then returned to Drava's hand.
Drago returned to Dan's hand.
"That's game." Dan said.
Dan, Runo and Drava returned to the real world.
"I won't forget this. Prepare yourself when you come to Zetovia." Drava explained.
Drava vanished.
"We did it, Drago!" Dan hollered.
"We sure did, Dan." Drago said.
"Dan!" Runo hollered, hugging her boyfriend with glee.
Then, Dan spaced out for a bit.
"Zetovia…" Dan said.
"Huh?" Runo asked.
"I've made up of my mind." Dan replied.
Runo just smiled.
"And you know that I'm coming along." Runo said.
Dan smiled.
Shun, Julie and Alice met up in Marucho's house.
"I really hope that Dan is doing alright…" Julie explained.
"Me too." Alice said.
Shun could feel Dan's pain.
Then, Dan and Runo arrived.
"Dan?" Marucho asked.
"We heard what happened. Are you okay, Dan?" Alice asked.
Dan smiled.
"I am now." Dan replied, showing the new Drago.
Everyone became shocked.
"D-Drago evolved again!" Julie hollered.
"Into Exceed Dragonoid!" Dan hollered.
"Quite a shocker?" Drago asked.
"Akai. I've made up my mind." Dan declared.
"I want to help you take on your brother." Dan explained.
"All of us." Drago said.
"Guys…" Akai said, starting to cry.
"Thank you." Akai said.
The Brawlers nodded their heads.
"We will leave in about a day from now." Akai explained.
Back in Zetovia, Drava reported his loss to Darien.
"I'm sorry, Prince Darien." Drava said.
Darien smiled in an evil manner.
"No matter. My sister is bringing him and his team to the frontlines." Darien explained.
"Daniel Kuso is going to have a taste of my fury." Darien said.
"Right, Diaglur?" Darien asked.
Darien's partner, Darkus Shadow Diaglur came onto his shoulder.
"That's right, Darien. Drago will soon meet his match as well." Diaglur replied.
"I'm sure that they will be in one heck of a surprise." Darien explained.
