At the edge of time, the guardian Sailor Pluto - Trista Meioh - sensed something unusual. A hole between dimensions had opened. "Something is coming. Something that shouldn't be here.", she noted. Not long after, another anomaly entered the word, one which she moved to intercept. "That which should not be in our world, come to me!" With focus, she honed in on a boy and a girl, but instead of either of them, she drew out a mass of energy from the boy, which formed into the shape of a large, imposing dragon. "What -?"
"Ah, so I see you've taken notice of me, Sailor Pluto.", the large figure in front of her announced. "I always knew that you would."
"Y-you know about me?", Trista said, shocked that this creature was familiar with her.
"Of course. Your memories of our past have been sealed away following your reincarnation. Allow me to reawaken them." His eyes glowed white, as images flooded into Trista's mind. Images that were strange, yet familiar.
"Millions of years ago, the Sacred Orb brought forth two Bakugan, Dragonoid, the dragon of flame, and Dharaknoid, the dragon of darkness. The two inhabited one dimension full of Bakugan descended from either one of them, which swiftly split into two, both latching onto different universes and featuring exclusively those descended from the dragon that governed their new world. Dragonoid's world became Vestroia, latching onto a universe that possessed life on Earth and Vestal. Whereas Dharaknoid's dimension became a part of this universe, where life existed on several planets. And with them, a Sailor Scout for every species. And Dharaknoid's world split into two such planets: Gundalia and Neathia."
"Of course, I remember now.", Trista realised. "In my youth, Queen Serenity and the Sailor Scouts led us to the new worlds that had appeared in our universe one day. They had already developed their own basic civilisation, with Gundalia building a basic empire. But Neathia's civilisation accepted guidance with its fledgling civilisation. Soon, a kingdom modelled after that of the Moon was formed, ruled over by a wise and benevolent Queen. And sooner or later, the pull of the Galaxy Cauldron spread to the planet."
"Yes.", the Bakugan, Dragonoid Colossus, stated. "Your universe has a large quantity of chaos energy compared to that which Vestroia became linked to. And exposure to the energy of the Sacred Orb birthed a new creature of destruction, known as Levios. It assimilated Bakugan and brawlers alike to evolve itself into a stronger form to cause greater discussion. To thwart the beast, the Galaxy Cauldron imbued its power on the Neathian Queen's sister and the Gundalian Emperor's daughter."
A vision appeared to the two, showing two girls. One was a Neathian who shifted into a blue-haired girl in a white dress, while the other was a Gundalian, who shifted into a green-blue haired girl in a black dress. Both held up crystals, coloured green and red respectively. "Dual Planet Power, transform!"
In a flash of colourful lights, the pair had transformed, gaining their own Sailor Uniforms. While the Neathian's was similar to the Sailor Scouts of Earth's solar system, the Gundalian's was considerably more revealing, with regular shoes instead of boots and an exposed midriff. "Emissary of Light, Sailor Neathia!"
"Emissary of Darkness, Sailor Gundalia!" The two girls then leapt into battle.
"But unfortunately, the two together could not overcome Levios's power. That's when Sailor Gundalia made the ultimate sacrifice." As Trista saw in the vision, Sailor Gundalia charged up her energy attack, before leaping inside the creature to unleash it. "Gundalia Revolver!" The burst of energy caused cracks to form from within Levios' body, as light emerged, tearing the beast apart in a tremendous explosion.
"No!", Sailor Neathia called out at the sight.
"What was worse, Levios hadn't been totally destroyed by this.", Dragonoid Colossus continued. "To prevent his threat, the two species sealed it away within a void between dimensions and sealed it by encasing the Neathia Sailor Crystal in solid diamond, burying it to prevent the evil from returning, unless a certain spell was recited."
"And going by the presence of people from that dimension, I can assume that the spell has been recited.", Trista surmised.
"Not simply from Dharaknoid's dimension.", Dragonoid Colossus corrected her. "The boy - Dan Kuso - hails from another Earth, the one connected to Dragonoid's dimension of Vestroia. Effects on that dimensions have rippled back through its brother and weakened the prison holding Levios. While using the crystal will have further weakened the crystal, with the way things are, it will not break free for another 350 years."
"350 years?", Trista gasped. "No, it cannot be allowed to break free during that period. By then, the Earth and the Sailor Scouts will be frozen in wait for the rise of Crystal Tokyo. If Levios escapes at that point, the future will be destroyed." Then she had a thought. "What if we were to alter the flow of events to release him now? When the Brawlers and Scouts can destroy him?"
Dragonoid Colossus thought on this notion. "It would risk destroying both our worlds if it fails. But like you said, the alternative doesn't seem much better. Perhaps we need to create a few small changes to ensure that the seal gets broken."
And so, with Dragonoid Colossus's guidance, Trista was able to hone in on Emperor Barodius, from shortly before all this began. He was in his throne room, the recent invasion fresh on his mind. He had seen first hand the damage that Linehalt's Forbidden Power held to destroy a planet, and was thinking over whether he should still seek it in addition to the Sacred Orb. A reverie he was snapped out of when he heard a voice in his ear. "Vladimir's taking his time, isn't he?"
This spurred Barodius from his reverie, as he realised something. "Perhaps I should check in on our other recruitment project." He then stood up and left the room, ultimately making it so that Vladimir and Galloway's duplicity was discovered much earlier, as they were stealing the Gundalia Sailor Crystal from where it had ended up, creating a small ripple effect that made sure the 12 Orders sent all of their heavy hitters as opposed to a single man.
The next step was to ensure that Dan and Fabia weren't going into the fray without their Bakugan. This time, Trista's voice went to Ren as he reported on the activities of Vladimir's dig. "They don't know what they're getting into."
These words prompted Ren to announce "I have to go and stop him.", where he didn't before. Now Dan and Fabia would choose to accompany him, rather than merely volunteering themselves. And with a third member, the task of getting reinforcements did not require the pair to separate from their partners.
And for a final move on the chess board, Dragonoid Colossus's voice whispered in the ears of Amy Mizuno as she discovered the Phantom Data, encouraging her to experiment further with the Phantom Data she had received and create a data clone Bakugan. This ensured that the girls wouldn't be defenceless when the time was right for battle.
And thus, the two saw the fruit of their actions blossom, as the changes brought about led to Levios's release from its imprisonment. And as they saw the creature rebirth itself using Vladimir and his Bakugan Quakix as a base, the pair wondered if this would all turn out to be worth it.
