One day, all these cards started falling from the sky, like rain, or frogs. Together with my friends on an awesome Twilight forum, we created a FAR-OUT game, and for a while it seemed like harmless nonsensical fun. But on National Bakugan Day when the beasts within started slapfighting, we knew they weren't harmless.
My name's Dan. Together with my friends Runo, Marucho, Julie, not to mention Mr. Coolshot himself Shun, and Alice, we are...the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!
Bakugan! One goal, two worlds!
A, a-a, a-a, TWO worlds COL-LIDE! On the inside! Gone, gone, gone, this is Bakugan!
Episode Sixteen
No Game No Glory
Somewhere secret…
Three out of five people sat around a dark, creepy table. They were still wearing those darned cloaks.
"Hey, where's those other two guys?" Carlos Santana said, impatient.
"They died," Kalus said. There was a pause. "I'm kidding. They're brawling. What, nobody's laughing? Laugh, I say! Laugh or you haven't any game!"
"Heh heh heh," they laughed weakly.
"Good. Now, we must bestow a name unto our team. What shall we call it, now? I say we call it…Mask the Dynasty! Yes! Everyone, vote foh it! Vote foh it, I say!"
"Why we be should have listen to vote suggestion of you?" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee complained. "Of a beside, you not even have name of the England, so why you say one is being from the London?"
"As I was saying befouh this IMPUHTINENT little BRAT so RUDELEH INTERRUPTED meh, everyone must vote! Vote, I say, or you haven't any game!"
"Fine, okay, hombre! I'm voting for Mask the Dynasty, too!" Carlos Santana spat out.
And so it was named…
With our main cast…
Four out of six Bakugan Battle Brawlers stopped off at the MewMew Brawlers Little White Rabbit Restaurant to eat things. "Julie looked pretty sad," Runo said. "Is she always heartbroken like that?"
"I have no idea," Marucho sighed.
Shun was, today, dressed in a baggy white T-shirt and black shorts. He examined the photographs and dolls sitting around the place. "Why are we eating here?" he asked everyone.
"I work here!" Runo exclaimed. "Alice and I are the waitresses here!"
"Then who's serving us the food?"
"Dan is!"
"You mean HE works here, too?"
"He just started recently. He SHOULD be coming soon…"
As if on cue, Dan appeared before them…in a short-skirted maid uniform! He slapped four menus onto the table. "MewMew Braw- oh, it's you guys! 'Sup?"
"Oh God," Shun said, turning away.
"Espressos for everyone?" Marucho clarified.
"Sure!" everyone else said.
"Hey, can I sit here with you? I sure could have mahself an espresso!" Dan pleaded.
"Suchi and Akuma are dead, right?" Runo wondered.
"No, they're back home. But I gave them a decoy, so THAT'LL keep 'em busy!"
"…If you say so. Come back with five espressos, alright?"
I wonder how Julie's doing, Shun thought.
In Julie's bedroom…
She sat on her bed in a fetal position. Rocking back and forth, back and forth…
What's happening to Billy? What's happening to Billy!? What's happening to my Billy!?
Back at the restaurant…
…Do I really care?
A short time later, Dan was sitting with da crew, sipping some real good coffee. "Yum! This is SOME beverage!" he cried, rubbing his nose in victory.
He looked around the table. Nobody else was drinking. "What, what's wrong? Is it just the fact that Julie's gone? Why's she gone, anyways?"
"I shall tell you what happened," Marucho said, and within twenty minutes Dan had a play-by-play update of what happened.
"Wow! I suddenly might have sympathy for Julie now! Wait, she loved Billy, not me?"
"Both of you, probably."
"And what was that about game?"
"They…said they had joined Mask the Money to prove they had game."
"Wha – we've gotta meet up with Julie ASAP, dawgs!"
"To calm her down?"
"No! To tell her she's just a big wimp, and we're throwing her out!"
"WHAAAA!?!?"
"She doesn't have any game, does she? Here two respectable gentlemen with GAME come, then BOOM! there she goes, weeping like a baby, just because she has no game to call her own!"
"But," Drago interrupted, "isn't the Infinity Core our first priority? Deal with Julie later, when she calms down."
"…Good point! We'll just make that gameless Julie suffer!" He took a swig o' espresso with angry eyes.
After paying 120 nuevo sols for their drinks and such, the gang went outside. While they were busy meeting up with Dan (still dressed as a maid), Butler was busy making renovations to the flying car! Everyone thought it looked exactly the same, except for the tinted red windows. As they appeared, Butler removed his not-useful wrench from the untouched exterior and slid in through the front door.
"Come on, people!" Marucho cried, dragging them all in at once by the wrists excitedly. "It must be totally different inside now!"
"Sure," Alice mumbled.
It was! Now the inside practically looked like a hotel suite (they were even standing in a red carpet hallway)! On either side were entrances to six bedrooms, one for each Brawler and none for anyone else who might be riding in the car like, oh, say, one of Marucho's OTHER friends. Or maybe he had no other friends, seeing as each bedroom was labeled with a sign for each group member.
"The butler did this in twenty minutes?" Shun asked.
Ignoring him Marucho said, "Now we can all rest in comfort whilst the tired butler does all the work!"
"He needs a suite…" Alice murmured.
"Should we not sit down in the lobby for a time?" Marucho beckoned for them to rest on some pure gold fleece couches.
"Okay!" Dan plopped down…ON JULIE!?!? "Aah! It's an uncomfortable lump!"
"No, silly!" Julie hopped up, happy as ever (you know, before she was sobbing). "It's Julie, and Im so happy to see my dan!"
"Aah! Not your Dan!" He leaped out the window in fear! …Then he crawled painfully back in. "Hey, Julie! I just remembered to tell you something: you're fired!"
"Whaaaaat!?" Julie said, appalled. "But this isn't my job! I don't even HAVE a job!"
"Then you're…uh…not a part of this team anymore!"
"But I use the Terry Bakugans!"
"…Fair enough. But I've got my eyes on you…" He pointed to both his eyes, then Julie's, and sat with caution back on the couch.
"Wait, then…" Alice thought about this. "You're not upset anymore? About Billy?"
"Of COURSE not!" Julie posed. "You didn't think I was gonna go around moping forEVer, did you? I have to get up and go, GO!!" She bounced around some.
"Aah!" Dan backed away. "Okay, okay! Your fighting spirit scares me! You'd BETTER prove it to me that you've got enough game to last in THIS tough environment…or else…you're REALLY fired! Or, whatever."
"YES!!" Julie pointed her finger to the stars. "From now on, I'm only looking to the BRIGHT side of things!"
"She scares me," Alice whispered, hiding behind Runo's back.
"Oh, come on, Alice," Runo barked. "All SHE'S got is game and fighting spirit. Calm down, for Pete's sake!"
"Now, which room will I be staying in?" Julie asked them.
"…The one labeled Julie?" Marucho answered.
"Oh, right!" She stumbled off into her bedroom, carrying some light luggage with her.
A little while later…
Travel in the normal-looking front of the car was going smoothly, and Butler looked content.
"HEY, GUYSES!" Preyus screeched, jumping up and down. "We're approachin' a PLACE!! Which place, Shun? WHICH PLACE!?!?"
"Bloo Mini-Canyon," Shun said, reading a nearby map on a computer, which was for some reason in the lobby. "It's got some deep ruins, making it a good place to dig." He was actually pointing to Bloo Mini-Canyon 2, contrary to popular belief.
"Man, ah am so PUMPED!!" Dan said, doing a little dance.
"Whatever we do…" Alice moaned, "I just hope we don't find anything danger—"
Runo smacked her upside the head. "DON'T UPSET MURPHY'S LAW!!"
"Owwww!" But instead of reporting Runo's cruelty to the others, she shrank away and kept to herself.
"I hope not, too," Dan said, hearing her. "Mask the Money's gang keeps following us…how do they do that?"
"I've been thinking," Shun said, leaning against the wall like the rebel he apparently was, "don't you think all this is rather…strange?"
"Wh-wh-w-what do you mean?" Dan said, forgetting that he'd implied wondering about that himself.
"Just a coincidence, that's all!" Julie said…with spunk.
"You actually think that's the case? They know our every move, dam – I mean, darnit! They're tracking us! Tracking us so that they can play…marble games with us and stop us from playing, or something, I haven't gotten that far yet. Maybe they've sent out a spy."
"You mean…one of us?" Runo leaned forward in shock.
"You mean…Julie…?" Alice looked like she was about to break out into a sobbing fit, holding her hand to her cheek and whimpering.
"I don't believe it!" Dan got into a crazy thrashing dance of RAGE! "Are you saying there's a traitor in MY hand-crafted team!? I don't think that's possible, no I don't!"
"No, not here…there are only two other people who know our whereabouts. There's that butler guy…"
The driver coughed a couple of times.
"…and Webmaster Joe."
"COLLECTIVE GASP!"
"Of course! Webmaster Joe!" Dan screamed. "Oh, wait…I'm always watching, aren't I? Add me to the list!"
"Oh yeah, THAT guy!" Runo sighed with relief.
"Yeah! Webmaster Joe!" Marucho said.
"WHO IS WEBMASTER JOE!?!?" Drago shouted.
"He manages our website," Dan said solemnly. "He also keeps track of everything we do."
"Why in all that is holy would you let him do THAT!?!?"
"MmMMmm." Dan mumbled and shrugged.
"He could be a fourth-grade student," Runo said, "or a forty-year-old stalker. We don't know, since we've never even seen him!"
"Sounds KREEPY, if ya ask me!" Preyus said.
"Well, he does a REALLY good job at managing the website…" Marucho guiltily twiddled around with his hair. "But you never really hear from him in the chatrooms, so he is a REALLY mysterious entity."
"He catalogs EVERYTHING we're up to online," Shun said bluntly.
"Some heroes YOU are," Drago groaned. "You can't even save YOURSELVES! I ought to curse you out…"
"Maybe this was all a setup!" Marucho crossed his arms and pouted in dismay. "Imagine if all of this was leaked to Mask the Money!"
"COLLECTIVE GASP!!"
"Wait, is THIS why you lied about us going to Bloo Mini-Canyon?" Skyress said from Shun's pocket.
"Yep."
"COLLECTIVE GASP!!"
"Oh, come on! It's the only way to stop them from meeting us at the right place! Then we won't be swayed into brawling them as we for some strange reason keep agreeing to do!"
"But you lied!" Dan said.
"But I saved us!"
"But you lied!"
"But now you Bakugan won't get killed!"
"But you lied!"
"Quiet down, all!" Marucho pleaded. "This is just like a celebrity posting that he or she is going to Times Square when in reality she is headed to Alasksa in hopes of trying to avoid a vicious and power-hungry gang! And that's bad! Oh, wait wait…it's good? I'M SO CONFUSED!!"
Before anyone could continue speaking, Butler spoke over the intercom. "We are approaching our destination of Bloo Mini-Canyon 2. Prepare to land."
They looked out the clear window. Before them was a vast dark-blue landscape...which was right in the middle of a sea of orange and red. "This is NOTHING like Bloo Mini-Canyon!" Dan cried. "Rrrrrgh Shuuuuuuun…"
They soon started walking along a dark blue rock path until, suddenly, an evil laugh of sorts rang out! "Ha HA!!" some lady laughed, dressed in a cloak and standing on an impossibly-tall pillar. "Therefore, some of all the Brawlers have the showing up ability quality!" she said loudly, so the people below could hear it.
"See? They're tracking us!" Shun made a fist. "Next time I'll say we're moving to a farther place! Bloo Mini-Canyon's too close to its sequel, anyways!"
"You're right! I might be the spy around these parts!" Dan joined him in his fisty ways.
"You know me?" The mystery woman smirked, tore off her cloak, and leaped off the ledge! "I Jackie Chan Bruce Lee!!" She landed impossibly gracefully on the rock, jumping back to her feet. "Let show you me to the power being descended from…third the best of brawler in universe!!" She placed her palm before her, demonstrating her amazing palm prowess.
"GASP!" Marucho alone gasped. "Wow, that's not quite the best but so close to it that she might be really good!" he figured.
"Billy was tenth…" Runo said.
"Charlie was fifth…" Alice said.
"Then JCBL shouldn't be much harder!" Dan said.
"IT NOT JCBL!! And a me is surprise that you not scare to battle I."
"Hey, take a chill pill!" Julie revealed a strange medication from her nonexistent pocket. "What do you people WANT from us!?"
"My only reason the DOOM CARD!! Huah!" She now held the card in her prowess-filled palm.
"Wow, you're crappier than ME! And sometimes," Dan said, holding his own standard gate card, "crap is what crap does."
"Wait dan!!" Julie touched his shoulder. "Don't go it alone pleas!!" Everyone else revealed standard gate cards just for him.
"I said crap is what crap does!" Dan barked at them. "So let me do this alone!"
"Are you sure? We could always be cheap, you know!" Runo said.
"If I did that…y-y-you heard what I just said! That crap metaphor!"
"Yeah, but it doesn't make any sense! What'd you say it for!?"
"If I did this cheap," he said, "I would be cheap crap."
All eyes were upon him as the wind blew through his jacket.
"This challenge is mine, and mine alone…and I accept it. Anyway, I wanna test my strength, and I can't do that while I'm fighting with you guys. It's just the way I am." His fist, clutching a marble tightly, shook without control. "We'll take on Mars, Jupiter, the third best in the universe and any other brawler who challenges us in this whole wide world! Are you with me, Drago?"
"…Of course."
"Then let's do this! Mask the Money is nothing but a stepping stone!"
"Uhh, assume is good. Then we do battle!!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee was as ready as he was.
"Alright! Field, open!" The glowing cards illuminated the night.
Bakugan Battle Brawlers right back will!
And now, back to the Bakugan Battle Brawlers! Arms…ON!!
"ARE YOU READY, JACKIE CHAN BRUCE LEE!?!?"
"I AM READY, JACKIE CHAN BRUCE LEE!!"
They jumped in the air and released two red gate cards.
"And now," Dan cried, "Bakugan Brawl! Giant Red Insect, stand!" What stood was, in fact, a giant red praying mantis.
"To summon a guy first turn?" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee taunted. "Please! Do not tell Jackie Chan Bruce Lee that all moves yours shall be seen coming like so! Huah hueh, hyah! Bakugan Brawl! Man Canyon, stand!" A red Sphinxguy was, at her command, summoned in front of him.
"Talk about predictable! Gate card, open! TRIPLE Kettle!" Dan yelled, and the area around the two Pirate guys started glowing, as things usually did.
"You said 'trap'," Jackie Chan Bruce Lee said. There was an awkward pause. "Better to make right choice, friend."
"Send me in, Dan," Drago said. "I don't wanna be used at the end of EVERY game."
"Not yet! That's what I had planned! Lemme try something else first! Urghle burgle!" He threw another gate card, making a bent-over line of three. "Now, Bakugan Brawl! Pirate Seed, stand!"
A vortex of flame and treachery arose from the card, and left behind a typical pirate in its wake. "Arrrr!" he said, holding up his hook hand.
Jackie Chan Bruce Lee's eyes widened. What he thinking!? That TERRIBLE move! None best Jackie Chan Bruce Lee that dumb way! I throw in any other Bakugan, then he be of the losing! Then go to dimension of doom!
"Grr!" Dan said, gritting his teeth and biting off some grass, which he heartily chewed.
"Okay~" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee said. There was an awkward pause. "If you want to! Hueh hui huah! Bakugan Brawl! Scorpiorrior, stand!" She made her warrior in scorpion-like armor roll out onto the field! He had a double-edged spiky club, best weapon of the seven seas.
"Ability activate! Sling Blazer!" Dan activated something! With a rub of his scythes, Giant Red Insect now wielded a sling! He used this to scoop up Man Canyon and take 'im away. The creature was haphazardly thrown next to Pirate Seed.
"I not believe it! But I any path should have had the guessing of that the pirate summoned that way, my be battling there as well!"
"Right you are…I think! This ability (that only the mantises have HA) lets me take your guy away somewhere! And look, now two of your Bakugan are destroyed!"
"Huh? Wha?" Two marbles rolled over to her. "Wha! I wasn't looking! He beat…them both!"
"That's what you call Mustache Maneuver!" Dan caught his own two Bakugan. "Only the true pros know it!"
"You just right now made it up!"
"I know, right?" He loaded one Bakugan into the launcher again.
"You know, Dan," Drago said, "if you're not using me again, this most definitely will NOT be the brawl's last round."
"Don't worry, Drago! I'll TOTALLY win WITHOUT you! Giant Red Insect, stand!" The mantis stood doubtfully.
"Not once again! You only get lucky! Now watch true energy working! Huah hueh, hyah! Yah! Bakugan Brawl! Asian Deity, stand!" The mighty many-armed Bakugan stood there…and did several fist pumps YEAH.
"ASIAN DEITY POWER LEVEL 370 G'S. GIANT RED INSECT POWER LEVEL 330 G'S."
"This is going to be difficult," Drago said. "You're going to lose. Be careful, Dan."
"I'm not gonna lose, Drago!" he retorted. "So stop saying that! I'll just make 'im burnt toast with this card right here!"
"…Not quite. Activate ability! Much Grief!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee's Bakugan switched between his three faces, now looking totally bummed out!
"Woah!" Dan gaped. "Like, his face changed!"
"Boohoo!" Asian Deity sobbed, insulting people. "Woe is me! You're not gonna harm a poor defenseless religion guy, are ya? ARE YA, HUH!?!?" With that last statement, he held out his arms and activated his ability!
"This ability unallows ability that is your ability to be an ability," Jackie Chan Bruce Lee put simply.
"Ha ha!" Asian Deity laughed like a grade school bully as he pranced around stupidly.
"No way! This annoying and distracting grief-stricken dance is making me take pity on the guy!" Dan said.
"Woe is me, woe, woooeeee," the deity sobbed, spinning around on his head, "and there's nothing you can do about it! Huah!" He did a roundhouse kick on Giant Red Mantis, kicking him out of the game and into Jackie Chan Bruce Lee's mouth.
"Taste similarly that the bear meat," she remarked.
"No! Giant Red Inseeeeect…"
"Hey, Dan," Drago said, "I've got two tips for you. One is to look at his three faces. Each has a different power."
"One's happy, one's sad, and one has big sharp teeth?"
"Exactly, kind of. Second, use me next."
"You seen nuthin' as of yet! Asian Deity, now you go die so other many weaker guys summon in place of yours!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee's command forced Asian Deity to fade away and be replaced with the two dead guys from earlier in a flurry of magical activity!
"WHAAAAA!?" Dan danced around confusedly. "But you said – but I said – but I might be the – but uh –"
"Using of the Revive card on turn prior in game," Jackie Chan Bruce Lee said, "handed me advantage to top!"
"Fiddlesticks! So now I'm at a disadvantage, having lost Giant Red Insect…"
"Right you are, Dan," Drago said, feeling proud of him. "But really, use me next time."
"This game's been going on TOO LONG!! I'M COUNTING ON YOU DRAGOOOOO!" Dan threw a gate card in desperation. "Drago, stand!"
The famous dragon mascot character appeared from a bunch of flames! "FINALLY!" he cried, unfurling his wing-arms.
"Happiness because of the Drago? Good! Ha hueh BRAWL! Asian Deity, again stand!" And now, it was merely a brawl between two tough customers. It was almost like an old-style Western shootout, except not at all. "Let me tell you something. This why I escalate through fame to become third best in universe! To make it big, put all on this line!"
"I've already been doing that! Bakugan Brawl! Pirate Seed, stand!"
"ARRRRRGH, ye mateys!"
"ASIAN DEITY IS STRONGER. NO OTHER DATA AVAILABLE."
"What a piece of junk!" Dan slapped his BakuGantlet silly.
Since Dan really has no idea what his Bakugan power levels are for some stupid reason, and he just needed an excuse to pile on some unneeded dramatic tension for this battle, Pirate Seed immediately fell backward into Jackie Chan Bruce Lee's mouth, no punches or anything. "Pirate Seed!" Dan cried, reaching out toward the fallen pirate.
"Arrrr! I woulda been still with you if not fer yer horrible so-called knowledge o' power levels!"
"NNNOOOOOOOOO!!" Dan pounded his fists on the ground.
While he was sobbing momentarily, the gate cards were busy flying around by themselves and dropping into a straight line formation, doing whatever the hell they wanted. "All is in its place," Jackie Chan Bruce Lee remarked.
"Huh? The field moved?" Dan regained his composure. "What the-"
"You see, Dan, this field crafted just for Dan. It being that the place that the strongest his Bakugan share final fight with strongest mine Bakugan." She laughed a bit to herself. "I set this up!"
"Oh no! She was planning to get Drago into this kind of position all along!"
"AND YOU WERE ****ING STUPID ENOUGH TO GO ALONG WITH IT!!" Drago screamed back at him.
"Oh, come on, Drago! We can do it!" Dan said.
"I KNOW THAT PART, BUT WE COULD'VE BEEN DONE A WHILE AGO!"
"Too bad! This is a way to test my real, true, inner strength, without any help from my peers! JCBL might be tough, but she's not better than Dan Da Man!"
"Start the big finish! Huah hueh huah! Bakugan Brawl! Scorpiorrior, stand! Teach him that it JACKIE CHAN BRUCE LEE!!"
"Right on!" Scorpiorrior agreed to it. "Hey, CHUMP, it's Jackie Chan Bruce Lee!"
"Since when did EVERY Bakugan talk?" Dan wondered. He shrugged it off. "Oh well! We're gonna win this Drago! Gate card, activate!"
Fire enveloped his body as he said, "BOOSTED DRAGON!!" He then spat a boom bubble of fire at Scorpiorrior, who died without another word.
"Keep doing that, Drago, and we'll win just like that!" He struggled to snap his fingers.
"And we COULD HAVE DONE THAT EARLIER."
"Anyways, go back out there for another round!"
"Good thing I didn't really go anywhere!"
"DETECTED POWER LEVEL INCREASE TO 440 G'S."
"Boosted Dray-gun being the stronger than one myself thought," Jackie Chan Bruce Lee decided. "No worry…I know his ENTIRE deck layout…"
Dan heard what she just said and stared.
"Hueh hyaa! Bakugan Brawl!" She summoned Man Canyon! The sheer force of their pirate brotherhood must've made their power levels go up to 500 and 590 (with Drago obviously being the stronger one)!
"Hang in there, Drago!"
"Hold. Ability card, activate! Jammin' Ray!" Man Canyon glided around the field and shot laser beams everywhere with his…JAMMIN' EYES
"MAN CANYON POWER LEVEL INCREASE TO 600 G'S."
"How'd THAT happen?" Dan said, wondering about how JAMMIN' EYES worked without using a period, but not really. "OH NO DRAGO YOU'RE IN TROUBLE!!"
"I [b]KNOW[/b] THAT!!" As the jammin' eyes began burning the ground at a steadily deadly rate, Drago simply kicked the energy beams back into Man Canyon's face!
"DRAGO WINS BY A HAIR…HEH HEH…OF 10 G'S."
"What the – ugh – gah! What the hell just happened here!? That not in rules! You cannot be doing that of watch by rules! No! Cheater!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee demanded an explanation.
The marble, glowing intensely with red, landed in Dan's hand. "I don't have an explanation, yo! I DON'T!! Drago, what about you?"
"I DON'T KNOW, Dan! It's a REALLY HOT ENERGY BUILDUP!!"
"Pudding?"
"NO, JUST ENERGY!! Wait, wait, it's starting to cool down…"
"I guess yer just BURNING with PASSION AND INTENSITY!"
"Oh, Dan…"
"Bring on the heat already! Drago heated up but not being the contender!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee cried from the other side of the arena. "Brawl or else!"
"Alright, Drago! Are you ready or are you ready?"
"…YESIAM!!" (/watch?v=JtoQG2kdlYc&feature=related - go listen to it while you read) Something about the fighting spirit or passion or vigor in his voice forced a link to a song on YouTube to be linked to, and play in the background. Either that or it was next on Dan's iPod playlist. If the link doesn't work, it was Mega Man 5's Wily Stage music.
Asian Deity stood menacingly at the other side. "I shall make things very hard for you," Jackie Chan Bruce Lee said. "Ability activate, huah! Single Face of Many Rage!"
"RAAAAAH!!" He had many rage, all right. "MY BURNING RAGE OF DESTRUCTION WILL CUT YOU IN HALF AND CAUSE YOU TO FEEL THE BURNING PAIN OF YOUR OWN DEATH, AND THAT'S JUST MY STYYYYYLE." He revealed four swords, one for each hand.
"NOW ASIAN DEITY IS STRONGER BY 10 G'S. YOU CAN DO IT, DAN."
"10 G's? He needs a miracle!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee scoffed.
"BECAUSE MY SWORDS WILL CUT YOU!!" His four swords sliced at every angle, giving Drago several minor cuts and bruises until he made the smart decision to fly upward! "OH NOOOOO!!"
"Ha! I'm bending the rules and there's nothing you can do about it!" Drago said from up above.
Jackie Chan Bruce Lee gasped. "Cheater!"
"Drago? Cheating!? NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Dan ran into the battle-hiding flames, knowing only that Drago might be cheating. "Ow, I'm getting third-degree burns in here! Drago, stop cheating!"
"IT'S NOT CHEATING!"
"Drago, stop cheating!"
"IT'S NOT CHEATING!"
Dan had leaped onto Drago's spiky-crested head! "Maybe THIS'll stop you from cheating!"
"NO IT WON'T, AND HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET UP HERE!?!?"
"I dunno, I just…jumped."
"Anyways…say the word and I'll attack them!"
"Yeah! Maybe if I use this ability with Boosted Dragon, the attack power will double – no, be multiplied by ten! Let's show her a power level nobody's ever seen before!"
"No! No! Cheater! Get down from up there!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee and Asian Deity pranced around in disorientation.
"Ability fusion! Stuff Flare!" Dan dropped his collectible card into Drago's traveling fireball, making it even bigger!"
"He fuses ability!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee gasped in astonishment. "Asian Deity, use own The Power Blast!"
"THE POWER BLAST KILLS YOOOOOUUUUUU!!!" Two fire blasts collide on the inside! The blasts went back and forth in fury, and nobody knew whose was whose!
"His power level…how high will it go!?"
"UP TO 530 G'S."
"Through the roof!" Jackie Chan Bruce Lee marveled. "But I have seen very much the higher, even this brawl!"
"This is the end," Drago said with his mouth full. "BOOSTED DRAGON STUFF FLARE!!" Like the ribbon in the middle of a tug-of-war rope, the big blast of energy in the middle of their blasts fell to Asian Deity's side and exploded in a blur of burning fire.
"No! Cheater!"
They left her body to burn in the flames whilst they watched from above. "Yes! Wish I could high-five you, Drago! We totally KILLED her!"
"And we could have done it earlier…"
"But at least we did it in the end! Never underestimate Dan Da Man!"
Suddenly he fell down face first into Bloo Mini-Canyon 2 as the music, if it hadn't already, ended. "Oof! Hey, the match's over? Man, and it was such a rush, too!"
"Where's JCBL?" Shun asked.
Marucho gasped. "Don't tell me you…k-k-k-BEAT her? The third best brawler in the entire circuit?"
"Yeah, no sweat!" He gave a funny-looking grin and peace sign. "And it was so tight, too! You shoulda been there!"
"This is a big thing!" Julie said. "Let's congratulate him with a tickle fight!"
"Oh no. OHHHH no. Not after that gameless ceremony you had yesterday with—"
"TICKLTICKLETICKLE!!"
"Aah, my belly!"
Everyone else just laughed and ignored Dan's pain.
From atop another tall pillar, Jackie Chan Bruce Lee watched. "I never would assume that the Dan used a fusion combine of ability card," she said to herself. "Too bad for dim-witted Dan my secret weapon is secret. He would never guess that is…the last face of Asian Deity perhaps combined with something else. Wish I could say it not JCBL." She leaped away somewhere, displaying many kung-fu antics along the way.
After Julie stopped tickling Dan and squishing his cheeks, Shun silenced the gang. "Then we know that the most possible culprit is Webmaster Joe," he said.
"Or me!" Dan raised his hand anxiously.
Shun sighed. "No, the spy would not purposefully reveal his or her identity."
"Come on! I've got spy blood!"
"No, Dan. You don't."
"I wonder where Joe is now…" Alice pondered.
In the hospital…somewhere…
Her question was answered! …To the viewers, at least! A kid lay in a hospital bed, looking out the window.
"I wonder," he said in a nasally voice, "what the Bakugan Brawlers are up to…"
Hey, people! This is Marucho! Let's eat at the restaurant! Yaaaaay! It's a feast to celebrate Dan's winning against Jackie Chan Bruce Lee! We meet Joe face-to-face and discover he hasn't exactly been honest with us. I also fight Klaus in a Bakugan game! WHO WILL WIN!?!? Take a lucky guess! …You're right! Bakugan Brawl!
We leave our audience today with...the Bakugan dance.
Dooby da doo DEE dooby da doo DEE, dooby dooby doob DEE dooby dooby doob DEE, dooby da dooby doo dee!
