Chris: The Bakugan Battle Brawlers in: Bakugan Trap Connection

Dan and Noah rushed to help the fallen officer, but he was out cold. "I don't wanna leave a cop down, but let's move before something else happens" said Noah. Dan nodded and they left the basement out the back door. They met up with Chris, Soon, Jack, Robin and Ben in the ice cream truck. "Can I drive, please?" Jack asked. "No way! I'm the oldest, so I drive!" said Ben, driving off to the Brawlers HQ. "OOOOHHHH! It's just not right! Why did they have to arrest Dan anyway?" Asked Julie. Before anyone could answer, they heard a *ding-ding* outside. Runo looked out to see an ice cream truck pull up. "Hey guys! I scream, you scream for ice cream!" Said Runo. "Oh! I LOOOOOVE ICE CREAM!" Said Maria, running out. The other Brawlers rolled their eyes and went out too. "Vanilla, please" said Maria, getting out her purse. Around this time, the others are out already. "Sure" said a voice. "Huh? Is that...?" asked Anubias, as Noah stuck out his head and handed Maria a vanilla ice cream box. "Aw... thanks" said Maria, opening the box and... "Peek-a-boo!" said Drago, popping out. "DRAGO!" said everyone else. Just then, the back door of the ice cream truck opened, revealing teams' Anubias and Sellon... and Dan! "What's up, guys?" Asked Dan.

Back inside, Dan told everyone the whole story about how Noah saved him, and that that reporter and the chief of police were under the "new evil's" spell. "He's even stronger than we thought" said Clayf. "To control someone for another realm... is incredible" said Lars Lion. "How so? I controlled Drago a few times like that" said Razenoid. "That's different, you shared a link, so it was easier" said Apollonir. Dan then told them about the intense battle between him and the police chief. "... and I couldn't have done it without Scorpio's help" said Dan, as Scorpio jumped out. "You'd better believe it" said Scorpio. "Whoa, get outta town!" Said Ace. "Did he, just talk?" Asked Mira. "That's amazing" said Marucho. "Hello! My trap can talk too" said Mike. "It's different, I evolved from an El Condor" said Triad El Condor. "What do you mean, different?" Asked Keith. "Allow me to explain" said Scorpio.

"Bakugan Traps, are just like regular Bakugan. The only difference is that natural traps can speak only after we evolve. Bakugan that evolve into traps are an exception. Bakugan Traps can only evolve if Bakugan, battler, and Bakugan Trap have a connection" Scorpio explained. "If that's true, then why can't Flash Falcon Fly speak?" Asked Ace, as Flash Falcon Fly popped out and started to move around on a table, as if trying to speak. "Because you haven't made that connection yet. Even if you and Percival use him with your Abilities, that can make him evolve, but not enough for a connection. Until you can find that connection, he'll never be able to talk. My connection with Drago started when I first saw him. I knew what he was capable off and was honored to meet him, but that wasn't enough. Our real connection happened during the battle between those Bakugan Traps. When I was able to reflect Drago's Perfect Core, that's when our connection was complete" Scorpio explained. "Man... now I feel so bad, sorry I stopped using ya buddy" said Dan. "It's ok, you didn't know" said Scorpio. "I wish I could hear what Flash Falcon Fly was saying, that would be cool" said Ace. "Ya know, there is a way to 'speed up' your connection. Have him battle me in a trap only brawl, what do ya say?" Asked Scorpio. Dan and Ace looked at each other, nodded, and went to outside. "Boys will be boys..." said Runo. Everyone went out to watch.

"Gate Card, set! Let's go... Bakugan Trap! Darkus Flash Falcon Fly!" Said Ace, as Rad Fly screeched. "Here we go! Come Bakugan Trap, Pyrus Fire Scorpion!" Said Dan, as Scorpio screeched as well. "Ability, activate! Stuka Enemy!" Said Ace. "Ability, activate! Fire Reflection!" Said Dan. Scorpio "caught" Rad Fly's attack and reflected it, damaging him "Grr... Ability, activate! Dual Buster!" Said Ace. "Ability, activate! Burner!" Said Dan. Scorpio's body became engulfed in flames, while Rad Fly's body was engulfed in Darkus aura. Both traps charged at one another. "Gate Card, open! Darkus Reactor!" Said Ace. Both traps meet at the center of the field, trying to push each other back. But their power was equal, so they defeated each other. "Nice" said Noah. "Hehehe... that was cool" said Jack. "Humph, so Ace... you still game?" Asked Dan. "Are you kidding, I'm not stopping until Rad Fly and I make our connection!" Said Ace.

Meanwhile, Professor Clay was putting the finishing touches on the newly upgraded Farbros. "Ah-ha! Yes, it worked!" Said Professor Clay. Just then, Zenoheld walked in the door. "It's about time, is the Alternative System also ready?" Asked Zenoheld. "Yes, my king. It's 87% running. It should be complete by tomorrow, maybe sooner" said Professor Clay. "Well then, I've got some business to take care of in the meantime" said Zenoheld, taking the newly upgraded Farbros and leaving.

"Ability, activate! Stuka Enemy!" Said Ace. "Ability, activate! Satellite Gunner!" Said Dan. Both traps were attacking each other, however it was another draw. "Another tie?" Asked Jake. "That was like, five in a row" said Christopher. "But it was intense" said Chris. "And it was graceful" said Soon. Thomas rolled his eyes, then got slapped in the back by Maria. "OW! That hurt!" Said Thomas. Just then, someone was clapping and walking toward them... Zenoheld. "Pssst! Santa on steroids, 12:00!" Said Ultimate Dragonoid. Dan and Zenoheld lock eyes. "You know why I'm here... Kuso" said Zenoheld. "Then bring it, ya overweight clown!" Said Dan. Zenoheld put on his Gauntlet and Ace stood by Dan. "Ace?" Asked Dan. "We're helping ya Dan" said Ace. "And there's nothing you can say or do to stop us" said Percival. "Fine, I'll destroy both of you! GAUNTLET - POWER STRIKE!" Shouted Zenoheld, as his Gauntlet poured out black and purple energy. It surrounded the area, similar to what the chief of police did and yes, it also stopped time. Only difference was they were in an outer space-like dimension.

To be continued...

Dan: I've had it! Zenoheld is going down for good this time.

Razenoid [Draco Razenoid] (Dharak): Apollo-beer, Percival, Scorpio, etc., etc. ... we're all do just fine.

Apollonir: But bring your Bakugan, we're gonna need all the help we can get. (looks at Razenoid) And it's Apollo-NIR!

Razenoid [Draco Razenoid] (Dharak): Whatever, sorry.
