Exedra: The Bakugan Battle Brawlers in: A Royal Butt-Kicking, Part 1

The next day at the Brawlers HQ, they were eating lunch. Dan, Baron and Jake were eating like 3 overweight hogs. "Can't you 3 eat without making a mess?" Said Maria. "They always eat like that" said Runo. "I never understood people with food" said Razenoid. "I've been around it time and time again, but still... nothing" said Drago. "I thought Dan would eat the way he brawls, nicely" said Apollonir. "April Fools" said Frosch. The Bakugan all laughed, except: Thomas', Chris' and Mike's Bakugan. Just then, an explosion was seen outside. The Brawlers were about to get up, but Alice stopped them. "It's okay, Thomas and the others are practicing" said Alice. While no-one was looking, Dan snuck out. Drago, Apollonir and Razenoid followed him.

"Ability, activate! Meta Reflector!" Said Christopher. Meta Dragonoid, in Bakugan Form, created a shield that reflected the incoming attack back to the user. However, Ultimate Dragonoid dodged it. "Double Ability, activate! Ultimate Dragon + Fusion Ability, Exceed!" Said Thomas. "Grr... Meta Dragonoid! Attribute Change!" Said Christopher, as Meta Dragonoid changed. "Got it boss! Attribute Change... Pyrus!" Said Meta Dragonoid. "Pyrus Ability, activate! Plasma Meteor!" Said Christopher. "Double Ability, activate! Dragonic Ogre + Boosted Ultima!" Said Thomas. Ultimate Dragonoid defeated Meta Dragonoid. As Thomas was about to shake hands with Christopher, someone was clapping behind them. "Not bad you two, not bad" said Dan. "Ah, Dan! Good thing your here, you saved me a trip" said Thomas. "Huh? You wanna battle?" Asked Dan. "Duh! But this time, I wanna fight Drago" said Thomas. Both Brawlers took a place and began. Unknown to them, the other Brawlers that were eating were watching from a window. "Just what we like, a big meal and a big show" said Gunz.

Back in another dimension, Professor Clay is upgrading Farbros inside the tuck. "Um... master? Are you out there?" Said Professor Clay, seeming to talk to no-one. "What do you want, professor?" Asked a deep voice, like it was coming from the walls. "For this more powerful upgrade, I need a portion of your powers, if that's acceptable" said Professor Clay. "Why should I give you my powers? You know that if I keep giving away my energy willy-nilly, I'll never be reborn" said the deep voice. "I understand master, but this upgrade is the most my brilliant mind has to offer. Because I also know that the more fights that happen in the real world, the more energy you get. Because any Bakugan in any battle generates power. And after all this time, you've been absorbing it bit-by-bit. But if I can... download... a small part of your powers into Farbros and all our equipment we have with him, they will be... unstoppable" said Professor Clay. "... You make a good speech, and it seems you've done your homework. Very well, I will give you some of my powers, but only 15%... and this is the last time. If you fail... I promise you, that being defeated by the Brawlers... will be the least of your worries. Do I make myself clear?" Said the deep voice, even deeper and scarier than before. "... Yes, understood... master" said Professor Clay. "Good, step outside" said the voice. Meanwhile, in another location of the truck, Zenoheld is preparing to send a robot Bee. "Send to... Spectra Phantom, also known as... Keith Clay" said Zenoheld, as the robot Bee zoomed out a window and into space.

"Ability, activate! Ultimate Dragonoid!" Said Thomas, as Ultimate Dragonoid blasted Drago. "Grr... that'll sting later. Your skills have improved. I'll admit, I wasn't that strong when I was that young" said Drago. "Thanks, but don't think that nice comment will make me go easy on ya" said Ultimate Dragonoid. "Wasn't thinking it" said Drago. "Ability, activate! Dragon Over Cannon!" Said Dan. The brawl kept going until 9:30pm, it ended in a tie. As everyone was going inside, Helios noticed a flash of light land in some bushes. "Spectra, over here" said Helios. As they both walked over to it, a bee flew out. Spectra fell over and landed on his back. "Ha,ha,ha. Very funny, Helios" said Keith, getting up and brushing himself off. "No, I meant that" said Helios, as a robot Bee hovered and projected an image of Zenoheld. "Good evening, Spectra Phantom. I have a proposition for you. My master has asked me to contact you and ask you to join us, since you were a faithful servant of his" said Zenoheld's image. "How about this, you go away!" Said Keith, throwing a rock at the Bee and knocking it into the bushes. He and Helios turned to leave, but then... another Bee appeared. "I figured you'd do that, so I sent another" said Zenoheld's image. "Good, it's my turn!" Said Helios, ramming into the second Bee and it landed in some hedges. They both turned again, but another Bee was there. "As they say: Third time's the charm!" Said Zenoheld's image. "Ugh... I'm not joining you. I'd rather become evil again and steal Drago's Perfect Core than team up with you!" Said Keith. "Well then, I challenge you to a brawl. If you win, I'll leave you alone. But if I win... you will be my masters servant. Deal?" Said Zenoheld's image. Keith didn't answer right away. "You wanna brawl? Fine! We accept your challenge!" Said Keith. "This worthless planet is your home... you pick the time and place" said Zenoheld's image. After telling him where and when to meet, the Bee flew off and Keith returned inside, but someone was watching them in the shadows...

The other Brawlers were asleep, except for Keith and Helios. Kieth had his hands folded behind his head and stared at the ceiling, then looked at the time... 11:50pm. Keith got up and put on his BakuMeter. But before he could touch his mask, Helios floated in front of him. "Spectra, are you sure this is a good idea?" Asked Helios. "... I don't know Helios. But we've got to stop Zenoheld here and now" Said Keith, picking up his mask and putting it on. "Spectra! Er... Keith, I'm dead serious. We knew what we were up against in the past, but now we and the others have no idea! How did we know this isn't a trap, or if we'll... even come back in one piece?" Asked Helios. "... Your right, Helios. But it's a trap we'll have to trigger!" Said Spectra, leaving his room. "Wait for me, your not going anywhere with out me" said Exedra. "Of course not" said Spectra, going outside and leaving... but the same person in the shadows was watching them.

As Spectra and Helios arrived 300 yards away from the city, Zenoheld arrived as well. "Why you wanted to drag this out here is beyond me" said Zenoheld. "So we could have some alone time, and so no-one gets hurt, except for you old man!" Said Spectra. "Humph... what happened to you Spectra? You used to be so loyal, then you betrayed the Vexos and now, you and your lapdog Gus join the Battle Brawlers" Said Zenoheld. "Because I had my own reasons, but Dan freed me of my darkness" Said Spectra. "You mean: our darkness" said a voice. "Huh? Gus?" Asked Spectra. "Speak of the devil. No matter, I'll take both of you!" Said Zenoheld, activating his Gauntlet. As the wind blew... both sides stared each other down.

Back in another dimension, Professor Clay stepped outside of the truck. In front of him was an aura of dark energy in the shape of a sphere. Professor Clay put gloves on and carried it inside to finish Farbros' upgrade.

To be continued...

Gus: Zenoheld just doesn't give up. Doesn't matter though, cause me and master Spectra will make sure he does.

Exedra: However during the battle, he seems confident about the Assail System. Sure it beat me and the other Ancients before...
