Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: The Bakugan Battle Brawlers in: Test of Darkus
"Now it's my turn, but my battles will be a little different. I will test all Darkus Brawlers: Ace Grit, Alice Gehabich, and Spectra Phantom. You will all get one turn, one round each. Let the battles begin!" Said Exedra, teleporting them to another realm.
This testing realm was almost dark as night. With dark clouds and shadows everywhere, it was like something out of a nightmare. Exedra created a mirage of Masquerade, Alice's eyes went wide. "So... who's brave enough to try to penetrate my darkness?" Asked Exedra. "Ace, let's win this for everyone" said Percival. "Alright Percival. Exedra! Me and Percival are going first, and taking you down!" Said Ace. "Well then, I expect nothing less out of you two" said Exedra.

(Percival's Geor Gunner was charging.)
Mirage Masquerade: Humph... Ability, activate... Nebulous Hammer!
Percival [Knight Percival]: (staggered due to the force of Nebulous Hammer) Gaaaahhh!
Knight Percival, decrease 400 Gs. Current Power Levels:
Knight Percival = 700 Gs, Exedra = 500 Gs
Baron: Whoa! That was some power.
Nemus [Saint Nemus]: I never seen Percival stagger that way before.
Wilda [Magma Wilda]: Not only that, it canceled his Ability.
Spectra (Keith): He's dealing with one of the Ancient Six Warriors. The one that has the most powerful, yet dangerous Darkus Abilities.
Ace: You okay, Percival?
Percival [Knight Percival]: Ugh, I'm fine... just caught me off guard.
Ace: Alright! Double Ability, activate! Dain Sleif + Fusion Ability, Vermillion!
Percival [Knight Percival]: Take this! (starts running) YYYAAAAAAAHHHH!

Current Power Levels:
Knight Percival/Flash Falcon Fly = 500 Gs, Exedra = 400 Gs... 420 Gs... 440 Gs...
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: Hold on a minute! That's impossible!
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: What is?
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: His Demon Wizard Ability, it absorbs the power of an ally Bakugan.
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: It does? So then...
Dan: Where's he getting the extra power from?
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Apollonir? Can you tell... (floated toward Apollonir on the other side of Dan's shoulder, a black aura was forming around Apollonir. Which was feeding Exedra the extra power!)
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: Hey! What do you think your doing? That's cheating!
Apollonir: You don't understand, me and the others our connected on a soulful level.
Frosch: Our bond is so powerful that we can call on each other for more energy.
Lars Lion: The same way you witnessed Apollonir using our powers against you, Drago.
Clayf: So technically, he's not cheating.
Apollonir: Since we're not in the battle, we can only give him our base powers, which is 500 each.
Current Power Levels:
Knight Percival/Flash Falcon Fly = 500 Gs, Exedra = 900 Gs
Knight Percival and Flash Falcon Fly were defeated.
Intermission #1:
"Who's next... Alice?" Asked Exedra. Alice looked a bit afraid, still staring at the mirage Masquerade that Exedra created. *Why do I feel so nervous? It's just an illusion, so why do I feel so afraid?* Alice asked herself. The mirage Masquerade then smiled. "Remember? Because I am you" said the mirage Masquerade. "Who's he talkin' too?" Asked Dan. "I think Alice, they were the same person after all" said Shun. "Remember Alice, I... AM... YOU" said the mirage Masquerade. *It's just an illusion... it's just an illusion...* Alice kept telling herself.
Battle #3, Round #2:
Mirage Masquerade: Gate Card, set! Bakugan, Brawl! Darkus Exedra, stand!
Exedra: RRROOOOOAAAAAARRR!
Exedra has entered battle, at 500 Gs
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: Don't let him get inside your head, Alice! We can do this together!
Alice: ... Your right, Hydranoid! Let's go! Bakugan... Brawl! Alpha Hydranoid, stand!
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (left head): Were goin'...
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (middle head): ... to take...
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (right head): ... you down!
Alpha Hydranoid has entered battle, at 550 Gs
Alice: Ability, activate! Indigo Nightmare!
Alpha Hydranoid, increase 300 Gs.
Mirage Masquerade: Double Ability, activate! Graviton Wizard + Nebulous Hammer! (the combination of Hydranoid's and Exedra's powerful attacks caused a thick smog) Not even Hydranoid could have survived that... hahahahaha!
Alice: (starts crying a bit) HYDRANOID, NOOOO!
(Just then, three energy beams shot out of the smog. Hydranoid had activated Alpha Incinerator. The blast was so powerful that it sent Exedra backwards, into an invisible wall.)
Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 500 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 650 Gs
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (left head): (eyes glowing from the smog) If you thought THAT, would keep me down...
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (right head): (eyes glowing from the smog) ... your sorely mistaken!
Exedra: No? Then this will... Masquerade?
Mirage Masquerade: Thought you'd never ask. Gate Card, open! Darkus Nebulous!
Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 500 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 650 Gs... 620 Gs... 590 Gs
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: (tries to fly up, but gets pulled down) RRROOOOOAAAAAARRR! I feel... my energy... being drained... Alice...
Alice: Hang on, Hydranoid. Fusion Ability, activate! Final Destruction! (the Ability activated, but Hydranoid's power was still dropping!)
Mirage Masquerade: Confused? Allow me to explain... Darkus Nebulous continuously drains your Power Level, oh... and did I mention that Hydranoid can't move? Hahahaha! And since he doesn't have an Ability that cancels a Gate Card... he's finished!
Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 500 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 550 Gs... 530 Gs... 510 Gs...
Julie: OH MY GOD!
Mira: If Alice doesn't find a way to stop that card...
Runo: Then they fail the test!
Alice: *I know someone who can help, but...*
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid]: ALICE!
Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 500 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 330 Gs... 310 Gs... 290 Gs...
Alice: *For Hydranoid... I have no choice (a mask forms in her hands), I need you... Masquerade.*
Shun: Hmm? Guys, look!
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Is that...?
Dan: His mask...
(Alice turns to the rest of the Brawlers, who look in disbelief, then puts the mask on. The transformation to Masquerade begins: her hair turns blond, her clothes change, her boobs "melt".)
Masquerade (Alice): Guess who's back.
Mirage Masquerade: What the...?
Exedra: Impossible!
Masquerade (Alice): Nothing's impossible Exedra, (pointing at Exedra) like canceling your Gate Card!
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (right head): But my Abilities can't nullify Gate Cards.
Masquerade (Alice): None of your current Abilities that is. What you and Alice didn't know is that unlike other Bakugan, you can use all of your old Abilities.
Preyas: What?! Now I know he's making stuff up.
Frosch: Yes, no Bakugan can access every one their old Abilities, maybe one or two.
Exedra: It's impossible, can't be done.
Masquerade (Alice): Wanna bet on that? Fusion Ability, activate! Destruction Impact!
(Destruction Impact's aura formed around Hydranoid's legs, and his power stopped dropping.)
Mirage Masquerade's Gate Card, nullified. Alpha Hydranoid, increase 100 Gs. Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 500 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 250 Gs
(Everyone stared in disbelief at what just happened)
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Hey, wasn't that an Ability when he was Dual Hydranoid?
Dan: Yup.
Masquerade (Alice): Need more proof? I've got plenty! Ability, activate! Merge Shield!
Alpha Hydranoid, increase 600 Gs. Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 500 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 850 Gs
Spectra (Keith): Well... that was impressive.
Helios [Infinity Helios]: Hehe, Hydranoid just absorbed all the power Exedra gained before.
Exedra: So, you think your the only one with surprises? Here's one! Demon Wizard + Final Wizard!
Exedra, increase 1100 Gs. Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 1600 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 850 Gs.
Clayf and Frosch: (black aura formed around them) Ugh...
Clayf: Not so forceful next time, Exedra.
Hydranoid [Alpha Hydranoid] (middle head): Didn't see that coming.
Masquerade (Alice): Figures... Triple Ability, activate!
Runo: Did he just say...
Mira: Triple Ability?
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Relax, guys. Knowing Hydranoid, he can do it *I hope*.
Masquerade (Alice): Chaos of Darkness + Darkus Grazer Exedra + Blinding Spice!
Alpha Hydranoid, increase 750 Gs. Exedra, decrease 650 Gs. Current Power Levels:
Exedra = 950 Gs, Alpha Hydranoid = 1600 Gs
Exedra: I... I... won't be... t-taken down... j-j-just... yet... uuuggghhh...
Exedra was defeated.
Intermission #2:
"Aw, yeah! He... er, she... um... they did it!" Said Julie. Everyone ran up to Masquerade. "Now that, was a Darkus battle" Spectra commented. "Hey Masquerade, does this mean... you changed your mind again?" Asked Dan. "... I told you three times now Dan. It won't work out. Buuuuuut... the person your seeing now is only a small part of who I was. Alice is in control of me now, so why not?" said Masquerade, grinning and holding out his hand for a handshake. "Ah, yet another happy ending" said Angelo. "I hate to break up your reunion but, your not finished yet" said Exedra. "What? But Ali... er... Masquerade beat you!" Said Dan. "So we passed!" Said Masquerade. "True... but that was one round apiece. There's still one last individual I must test..." said Exedra. Everyone turned to look at Spectra. "Hehehe, this should be fun" said Helios. "Keep your cool, Helios... and let's make this quick" said Spectra.
Battle #3, Round #3:
Spectra (Keith): We have to be careful, Helios. If Exedra has any Forbidden Cards, we'll be in a tight spot!
Helios [Infinity Helios]: No problem, I will crush him into next week.
Frosch: If you do, tell him to send me a postcard. I'd like to know if he finds out who or what the new evil is.
Diablo: Oh, ho, ho... good one!
Helios [Infinity Helios]: That wasn't funny!

Helios [Infinity Helios] (computer): *consolidating energy to all systems... booster charge complete... fire when ready.*
Helios [Infinity Helios]: Here we goooooooo! This one's gonna hurt, REEEEAAAAAALLLLL BAAAAAAAAAD! (he let's loose with Mauser Impact)
Infinity Helios, increase 1500 Gs.
Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Not even a Mechtogan Titan was able to survive that...

Current Power Levels:
Infinity Helios = 3100 Gs, Exedra = 3300 Gs
Spectra (Keith): Huh?
Helios [Infinity Helios]: No way!
Mirage Masquerade: (a Forbidden Ability Card glows on his BakuMeter) Hahaha... thank you, Dianos Cocos X.
Exedra: You fools... did you really think... that just because a Mechtogan Titan can't stand the attack... mean that I would fall... SO EASILY?! FINAL WIZARD! (a huge stream of Darkus energy speeds toward to brawlers, absorbing each of the other five Ancient Warriors power) This time, I'm using Final Wizard at full power... giving me more power. Now let's see if you can exceed it!
Current Power Levels:
Infinity Helios = 3100 Gs, Exedra = ? Gs
Everyone (minus the Ancient Warriors and Mirage Masquerade): GASP!

Mirage Masquerade: Double Ability, activate! Dianos Durance X + Graviton Wizard!
WARNING! WARNING! POWER LEVELS UNKNOWN!
(The combination of Helios', Slynix's and Exedra's attacks hit the center of the field, creating a giant explosion that blinded everyone's vision of the battle. When it cleared... Helios, Slynix, Exedra and Spectra were still standing... but barely.)

"Keith! You did it!" said Mira, running toward Spectra. They hugged tightly as Mira cried tears of joy. Everyone gathered around Keith (who took his mask off as Mira hugged him), giving high fives and such. "Now, I might be too old to many things... but brawling is not one of them. And I can say that you, as the others, earned the honor of having me at the palms of your powerful hands" said Exedra, floating to Keith.
To be continued...
Gunz: Hey Battle Brawlers. Looks like it's time for my test with Lars Lion. They don't call them Legendary for nothing, and I never had a battle against them. Well, maybe Drago counts in a way... but still, see for yourself. This'll be an intense battle. Let's go, Reptak! Bakugan, Brawl!
Gunz and Reptak: See ya, then!
