The battlefield was set, the energy of the Bakugan Interspace crackling around them like an
electric storm waiting to explode. Zane Sheen stood on one end, his calm yet calculating gaze
fixed on his opponent. His Haos Aranaut stood at his side, gleaming in the artificial sunlight,
while Darkus Leonidas lurked just behind, an ever-watchful presence. On the other side, Jade
Fermin stretched her fingers, her sharp eyes scanning the field with precision. Her Haos
Aranaut mirrored Zane’s, standing ready, while Darkus Titanium Dragonoid loomed beside her,
radiating power.
Both brawlers had never met before, but their reputations preceded them. Zane, known for his
methodical and ruthless efficiency in battle, and Jade, a brilliant tactician with the ability to adapt
in the heat of combat. Their battle would be legendary.
“Gate Card, Set!” Zane shouted, throwing a single card onto the field. It pulsed with energy as it
activated.
“Bakugan Brawl!” Zane launched his first Bakugan, Haos Aranaut, onto the field. The sleek
warrior Bakugan unfolded in a flash of golden light, landing with precision.
Jade smirked. “Not bad, but let’s see how you handle this! Bakugan Brawl!” She threw her own
Haos Aranaut, the identical warrior materializing in a surge of radiant energy. The two Aranauts
locked eyes, their mutual experience forming an unspoken acknowledgment before they
charged at each other.
“Ability Activate! Lightning Shield!” Zane called, his Aranaut forming a glowing barrier to repel
Jade’s first attack. Her Aranaut skidded back but recovered swiftly.
“Ability Activate! Radiant Slash!” Jade countered, her Aranaut slicing through the air, its blade
infused with energy. The strike shattered the shield and sent Zane’s Aranaut tumbling back.
Zane’s eyes narrowed. He had calculated this move but anticipated a different ability. “Not bad,
but you’re predictable. Ability Activate! Counter Impact!” His Aranaut rebounded instantly,
delivering a powerful counterstrike that knocked Jade’s Bakugan off balance.
Jade grinned. “You’re good. But I wonder… how will you handle this?” She raised her hand.
“Bakugan Brawl! Darkus Titanium Dragonoid, Stand!”
A vortex of dark energy swirled as the mighty Dragonoid landed on the battlefield, roaring with
intensity. Its crimson eyes locked onto Zane’s Bakugan.
Zane remained composed. “Darkus Leonidas, Stand!”
Leonidas erupted onto the field, his wings outstretched, his form an embodiment of raw,
untamed power. His gaze met Titanium Dragonoid’s, and a silent challenge passed between them.
Jade wasted no time. “Ability Activate! Shadow Burst!” Titanium Dragonoid surged forward, dark
energy crackling around him as he slammed into Leonidas. The force sent shockwaves through
the field.
Zane’s smirk barely twitched. “You underestimated me. Ability Activate! Chaos Impact!”
Leonidas roared, absorbing the attack before launching an explosive counterstrike. Darkness
and light intertwined as the battlefield turned into a storm of destruction, neither side willing to
yield.
Jade’s mind raced. Zane wasn’t just powerful; he was a strategist. Every move she made, he
predicted—but that meant she could use that against him.
“Gate Card Open! Omega Field!”
A surge of energy engulfed the battlefield, altering the rules. Now, power levels shifted
unpredictably, forcing both brawlers to adapt on the fly.
Zane’s eyes glinted. “Clever. But not clever enough. Double Ability Activate! Haos Illumination
and Shadow Rend!”
Leonidas and Aranaut moved in unison, one channeling radiant light while the other absorbed
the shadows. The combined attack tore through the battlefield, forcing Jade onto the defensive.
But she wasn’t done. “I see what you’re doing, and it won’t work. Ability Activate! Eclipse
Guard!” Titanium Dragonoid unleashed a protective barrier, neutralizing the attack and resetting
the field to her advantage.
The battle raged on, each brawler countering, adapting, testing the limits of the other’s skills.
Every move, every reaction, every strategy spoke volumes about who they were. Zane’s
ruthless efficiency, Jade’s relentless adaptability—it was a clash of equals.
Finally, after an exchange of devastating blows, both brawlers stood with their final Bakugan
remaining: Darkus Leonidas and Darkus Titanium Dragonoid, both battered but unbroken.
Jade took a deep breath. “Let’s finish this. Final Ability Activate! Oblivion Wrath!”
Titanium Dragonoid unleashed a catastrophic burst of energy, threatening to consume the
battlefield entirely. But Zane was ready.
“Final Ability Activate! Dragon’s Vengeance!”
Leonidas roared as his energy condensed into a single, devastating strike. The two attacks
collided, shaking the entire battlefield in a cataclysmic explosion of power.
As the dust settled, both Bakugan fell to their knees, the energy spent. The battle had ended in
a draw.
For a moment, there was silence. Then, Zane chuckled softly. “You’re better than I expected.”
Jade smirked, brushing dust off her shoulder. “Same to you. I haven’t had a battle that intense in
a long time.”
Leonidas, still recovering, slowly approached Jade and looked at her curiously. A moment
passed before the powerful Bakugan gave a low rumbling sound, as if acknowledging her skill
and presence. To Zane’s surprise, Leonidas stepped closer to Jade and nudged her hand
gently.
Jade raised an eyebrow but smiled, resting her hand on Leonidas’s head. “Huh, guess he likes
me.”
Zane folded his arms, smirking. “Looks like you earned his respect.”
Leonidas lingered for a moment, then turned back to Zane, giving a final growl of approval. For
the first time, Zane saw his partner momentarily accept another, a sign of trust between
warriors.
Their Bakugan returned to their hands, their mutual respect cemented. Though they had started
as strangers, by the end of the battle, they had become something more—rivals, perhaps, but
also allies.
Zane extended a hand. “Next time, I won’t hold back.”
Jade shook it firmly. “Neither will I.”
And with that, a new friendship was forged in the heat of battle.
Jade barely had time to process the battle’s aftermath before exhaustion settled in. The
adrenaline from the fight with Zane still hummed in her veins, but now, as she walked up to her
house under the dim streetlights, she longed for rest.
The sky had turned a deep, inky blue, the artificial glow of Bakugan Interspace long behind her.
Her steps slowed as she neared her front door, something prickling at the edge of her
senses—a strange unease, a tension in the air that hadn't been there before.
Her fingers wrapped around the doorknob, twisting it open.
Then she froze.
A chilling sight greeted her: her mother, eyes wide with terror, a thick gloved hand clamped
tightly over her mouth. Behind her stood a man, tall and lean, clad in a sleek black coat. His
green hair cast eerie shadows under the porch light, and his sharp, piercing eyes locked onto
Jade with unsettling intensity.
Gus Grav.
“Welcome home, Jade,” he said smoothly, his voice as calm as it was menacing.
Jade’s pulse spiked. Her fingers instinctively tightened around the Bakugan in her
pocket—Leonidas.
Gus pressed a knife just below her mother’s chin, not enough to cut, but enough to make the
threat clear. She whimpered, struggling in his grip, but he held her effortlessly in place.
“Let her go!” Jade snarled, stepping forward, her body taut with rage.
“That depends,” Gus said coolly, tilting his head. “You have something I want. And I suggest you
listen very carefully because I’m not a patient man.”
Jade clenched her fists. “Leonidas.”
A slow smirk curled on Gus’s lips. “Smart girl.” His grip on her mother tightened. “Hand him over.
Now.”
Jade’s breath came sharp and shallow. Her mind whirled, calculating. Could she attack him?
No—too risky. Her mother was in his grasp, and any reckless move could cost her everything.
Her heart pounded.
But then, Gus chuckled, his grip loosening just slightly. “Actually, I have a better idea.”
Jade’s eyes narrowed. “What?”
“You want your mother safe? Fine. But I want something in return. A battle.”
She stiffened. “What?”
“Tomorrow,” Gus continued, his voice smooth as ever. “You’ll face Spectra in a brawl. And to
make things more interesting, Dan and Drago will fight alongside you.”
Jade’s lips parted in shock. Spectra. One of the most dangerous brawlers she had ever faced.
And Gus wanted her to fight him?
“If you win,” Gus went on, “Leonidas stays with you. But if you lose... well, you already know
how this ends.”
Jade’s stomach twisted, but her resolve solidified. If it meant keeping Leonidas, if it meant
keeping her mother safe—she had no choice.
“Fine,” she spat. “I’ll do it.”
Gus smirked. “Good answer.”
With a flick of his wrist, he shoved Jade’s mother forward. She stumbled into Jade’s arms, her
body trembling as she clung to her daughter.
Jade held her tight, relief and rage battling within her.
By the time she looked up, Gus was already stepping into the shadows.
“Get some rest,” he called over his shoulder. “You’ll need it.”
And just like that, he was gone, leaving behind only the suffocating weight of his challenge—and
the fire burning in Jade’s heart.
Tomorrow, she will fight.
And she would win.
On the next day, Spectra was waiting in the field, Dan and Jade. Appearing slowly, they came
with a resolute face of victory, convicted to defeat Spectra once and for all.
Round 1: The Clash Begins
The battlefield ignited with an electric surge as Helios, Drago, and Leonidas took their positions.
The energy between them crackled, sending waves of power through the air. The crowd stood
frozen, witnessing the long-awaited battle unfold. Spectra watched from the shadows, his eyes
gleaming with interest.
"Bakugan brawl!" Helios roared, launching his formidable beast onto the field.
Drago and Leonidas countered in unison. "Bakugan stand!" Their bodies materialized from their
ball forms, fire and energy erupting from their cores.
Helios wasted no time. "Ability activate: Hyper Destruction!" A dark, crackling aura engulfed
Helios, sending shockwaves that forced Drago and Leonidas back. His claws extended,
slashing the air as the ground beneath them quaked.
Drago retaliated. "Ability activate: Inferno Burst!" A torrent of fire spiraled toward Helios, colliding
with his dark energy. The explosion sent embers scattering into the air, forming a fiery vortex.
Leonidas took advantage of the distraction. "Ability activate: Thunderous Strike!" He surged
forward with lightning-wrapped fists, delivering a powerful punch to Helios’s chest. The impact
sent him skidding across the battlefield, but he quickly regained his footing.
"Tch! You think that’s enough?" Helios sneered, his eyes burning with determination.
The battle raged on as energy flared in every direction, neither side willing to yield.
Round 2: Unleashing Power
The intensity escalated as the combatants unleashed devastating abilities. Helios leaped into
the air, dark flames swirling around him. "Double Ability activate! Shadow Vortex and Phantom
Fury!"
The battlefield darkened as tendrils of black energy shot forth, ensnaring Drago and Leonidas.
Helios dived down, smashing into them with the force of a meteor.
Drago gritted his teeth. "Not this time! Ability activate: Crimson Meteor!" He burst into the air, his
body engulfed in a sphere of pure fire. He rocketed toward Helios, slamming into him with a fiery
explosion.
Leonidas followed. "Lightning Devastation!" He unleashed a blinding storm of electricity, striking
Helios from multiple directions. The dark Bakugan roared, struggling against the combined
assault.
But then, Helios smirked. "You’re strong... but not strong enough!" He raised a glowing card.
"Prepare to witness true power!"
Round 3: The Prohibited Card
A surge of power erupted as Helios activated the forbidden card. The moment it touched the
battlefield, an unnatural force rippled through the air. Helios’s body glowed, then wrapped itself
in a pulsating energy. It started feeding power into him, causing him to grow bigger.
His muscles bulged, veins pulsing with energy. His eyes widened, glowing with a fierce crimson
hue. A deep, resounding heartbeat echoed through the battlefield. "Yes... YES!" he roared, his
voice layered with power.
Drago and Leonidas recoiled, sensing an overwhelming force. "What... what is this?!" Leonidas
gasped.
Helios let out a guttural laugh. "This is the power of the forbidden!"
He lunged at them with terrifying speed. Drago barely managed to react. "Fusion Shield!" A
barrier formed, but Helios shattered it with a single punch. Drago and Leonidas were sent flying.
Spectra smirked. "Perfect." He raised his gauntlet, activating a hidden mechanism.
Dark chains shot from the ground, wrapping around Drago and Leonidas. The two Bakugan
struggled, but the energy restraints were too powerful.
"What’s happening?!" Drago roared.
"You’re coming with me," Spectra said, stepping forward. "Your power belongs to me now."
Helios, still pulsing with energy, turned to Spectra. "You planned this?!"
Spectra chuckled. "Of course. Why do you think I let you use that card?"
Helios growled, his body trembling as the energy overtook him. Drago and Leonidas fought
against the chains, but with one final pulse of dark energy, they vanished—taken by Spectra’s
will.
The battlefield fell silent.
Helios stood in the aftermath, his body still throbbing with power. He clenched his fists, realizing
too late that he had played right into Spectra’s hands.
The battle was over, but the war was far from finished.
Spectra stepped forward, his mask reflecting the devastation around him. With a smirk, he
called back Helios and turned to Dan and Jade.
"If you want your Bakugan back," Spectra declared, his voice cool and commanding, "meet me
at the pier in two days."
Dan clenched his fists, his teeth gritted as he stared at Spectra. "You won’t get away with this!
We’ll get them back!"
Jade's eyes burned with determination as she stepped forward beside Dan. "Drago! Leonidas!
We promise—we’ll come back for you! Just hold on!"
The defeated Bakugan, still in Spectra’s grasp, let out weak but resolute cries, their bond with
their partners unbroken despite their capture. Spectra only chuckled before turning away,
disappearing into the night, leaving Dan and Jade standing amidst the ruins of their battle, their
resolve stronger than ever.
Two days later, at the pier:
POV of Jade:
Apollonir opened, and revealed himself. "Ok, you want Drago?" Asked Spectra. "Bakugan,
brawl! Stand Pyrus Drago!” The red and black Bakugan began to spin, and opened into a
tornado of fire. When it subsided, it revealed Vexos Dragonoid.
"Oh no!” Said Dan. "That's Drago? What have they done to you?" He looked over Drago. Mira
and Baron looked him over as well, particularly the gem in his chest, which was black instead of
blue.
"Are we too late?" Asked Runo. Drago roared.
"Drago!" Said Dan. Drago growled.
"Not the Drago I know!" Said Julie. Drago then ran into Apollonir, forcing him back, and all of us
to get out of the way. Drago made Apollonir go through the wall,
"Drago, stop! Listen to me!" Yelled Dan. "It's Dan, your partner!" Apollonir and Drago hand their
hands close together, trying to fight.
"Incredible! Even Drago could not resist the power of the Vexos!"
"It doesn't matter. Drago is still Drago. No matter what happens, he and I will always be
connected, I know it!" Dan was clenching his hand, then released it and looked at Drago.
"You hear me Drago? I'm not going to give up!" Drago stopped struggling as much against
Apollonir, and looked at Dan. "He hears me!" Then Drago roared and whipped at us with his tail.
Baron walked up to Dan.
"Master Dan, watch out!" Drago then roared at us.
"Drago attacked me?" Asked Dan. Drago then roared again, and Apollonir tackled him. They
then fought a little, and Drago shoved Apollonir to the ground. Spectra laughed.
"Bakugan are no more than beasts! I am Drago's master now, he is under my complete control.
Talk all you want, he can't hear you anymore!" He laughed again.
"Yeah, that's what you think!" Yelled Dan. "Come on Spectra. Go ahead, laugh it up!” Spectra
kept smiling. "
hear me?"
I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face. And after I tear you apart, I'm gonna change Drago back
to himself! You
"That is a promise.” Said Apollonir.
"You're welcome to try, but you and the fossil Bakugan don't stand a chance.”
"Bakugan, Brawl!" I yelled. "Erebus, Stand!" He stood next to Apollonir.
“Then it is time for me to throw in Leonidas. Bakugan, Brawl!" He threw a silver colored
Bakugan. "Stand Leonidas!" Leonidas opened in a tornado of light, and revealed himself as
Vexos Leonidas.
"You have used Chaos Ability X on him as well?" I asked
"Yes, and now, you and those fossil Bakugan don't stand a chance against the Perfect Core
combined with Chaos Ability X. Ability, Activate! Diano Coccus X!" He threw a card, which
wrapped itself around both Drago and
Leonidas. It disappeared as a large heartbeat could be heard, then Drago and Leonidas roared.
Their power levels went to 700 and 750 respectively.
Drago at 700 Gs. Apollonir at 500 Gs. Leonidas at 750 Gs. Erebus at 550 Gs.
"Keep it together Drago, we're going to save you!" Said Dan.
"You too Leo!" I yelled.
"Ability Activate!" Yelled Dan. "Maximum Nova!" Apollonir grew in power.
"Nice try, but my move isn't finished yet. Have you forgotten what the Forbidden card does so
soon? It pushes Bakugan past their limits to the extreme!” Drago and Leonidas's cores began to
glow, and they gained a purplish
aura. "Of course, they pay a price for infinite power." They roared a little.
"No way! Master Drago and Master Leonidas's power went up even more!" Said Baron.
"Bonus. And thanks to the Diano Coccus X ability, their power levels will always be 200 more
than their opponent's level. Your move.”
"How are Dan and Leonidas supposed to beat that move? Spectra's cornered them!" Said Runo
“This battle's going downhill fast! Just how many abilities does that card have anyway?"
“That's too much for one Bakugan, Spectra. You're overloading them!" Said Dan
"What's the point of power if you're afraid to use
Drago charged up their attacks.
" Asked Spectra. "That's why you'll never beat me! Let's go Drago! Leonidas!" He set two
abilities. "Double ability Activate! NeoBlast plus Burning Dragon!" Leonidas and
"Oh no! Watch out Dan, Leonidas!" Yelled Julie.
“They can't raise their power levels. They're through!" Said Baron.
"Maybe not, I've still got cards to play!" Said Dan as he loaded one. "Ability Activate! Neo Valute!
"Same here! Ability Activate! Rewind!" Drago launched his attack at Apollonir, who's shield
blocked it and reduced Drago's power, while Leonidas launched his attack, which went back to
him and reduced his power as well.
Leonidas and Drago were both behind Apollonir and Erebus by 200 each.
"You forgot that the ability Neo Valute brings your opponent's power level back to Apollonir's
base level. That makes Diano Coccus X kinda useless, huh?" Drago lost his purplish Aura, and
roared.
"Rewind in an ability that reverses the ability played by the opponent, and causes them to lose
that many Gs instead." I said. Leonidas lost his purple aura as well.
“Top this poser.” Said Dan as he held up an ability. "It'l take Drago and Leonidas's power down
to zero!" He set the ability. "Ability Activate! Saiam Low!" Apollonir spread his wings, and started
to glow.
"Come Drago and Leonidas, it is time to return to your friends.” Apollonir's eyes glowed, and
small orbs of energy came out of Drago and Leonidas. This caused their power levels to drop
quickly.
“Their power levels are dropping!" Said Julie. "Dan's found a way to beat them without hurting
their best friends!"
"Awesome move Dan!" Said Runo. Drago and Leonidas were both below 100 Gs at this point.
"Enough of this. Ability Activate!” Spectra threw another ability. "Diano Durance X!" Another
Forbidden card wrapped itself around them, then shot out to grab Apollonir and Erebus. This
stopped the energy drain from
Drago and Leonidas, and began to drain Apollonir and Erebus's power.
"What is this?" Asked Apollonir.
"It's bad news." Said Erebus.
"Can't you tell?" Asked Spectra. "Drago and Leonidas are stealing your power level, and any
chance you had at defeating us!" He smirked. "Relax, it'll be over in a minute."
"Well, you got that right!" Yelled Dan. "Ability Activate! Dispel Roa!" Apollonir began to glow very
brightly, and the Forbidden ability card vanished
"We're back to square one! I don't believe it!" Said Spectra.
"You better believe it!" I said as all the G powers went back to base level
"Dispel Roa returns all Bakugan power levels to their base level. And that means that we're
gonna leave Drago and Leonidas in the dust!" Apollonir grabbed Drago, while Erebus grabbed
Leonidas.
"We'll shake some sense into you!" Yelled Apollonir during the struggle. Drago and Leonidas
attempted to fight back, but were swiftly defeated.
"Most impressive, but futile.” Said Spectra. "You can't win them back, unless your power levels
are at least 500 more than theirs."
Helios floated up to Spectra. "That's the best the Dragonoids can do?" He turned to Spectra.
"Spectra, let me finish the old one. I will demolish him!"
"You want to battle?" Asked Spectra. "Don't be so anxious Helios. Why don't you just sit back
and enjoy the carnage." He smirked.
"Gate Card, set!" He set up a Pyrus Reactor. "You'll never take Drago or Leonidas! Bakugan,
Brawl!”
He threw them both. "Stand Drago. Stand Leonidas.” They roared.
"I know you're in there, Drago. And I'm never going to give up until I win you back!” Dan yelled.
"Bakugan, Brawl! Apollonir, Stand!"
"Leo, I will never give up on you! We are always connected! Bakugan, Brawl! Erebus!" Our
Bakugan opened up, and transformed.
"So full of hope. But how will you feel after you see what this Forbidden card does?" Asked
Spectra as he held up another card. "Ability Activate! Vestroia X!" The card wrapped itself
around our partners.
"He's using another Forbidden Card!" Exclaimed Mira. Then, Drago and Leonidas's cores began
to glow, and their bodies began to grow as power was fed into them
"Oh no." Said Jul
"Drago!" Said Dan.
"Leo!" I yelled. Their muscles bulged, and their cores gained large veins around them. They
grew slightly bigger. Once they were done gaining power, they roared. They had each gained
100 Gs.
"Can it be? He's forced them to summon the power of the Perfect Core! But how?" Asked
Apollonir.
"We may need some help." Said Erebus
"With one of these you old fool.” Said Spectra. "Fusion Ability, Activate! Darkus X" Their cores
seemed to pulsate, and their bodies gradually changed colors to a Darkus scheme. They both
growled as power was fed into
them. Then, once they had fully changed colors, they attacked using Darkus. The attacks
slammed into Apollonir and Erebus, causing them to groan in surprise. Both their power levels
went down by 200.
"No! Drago used a Darkus ability!" Yelled Dan.
“They're full of surprises now.” Said Spectra. "Fusion ability Activate! Ventus X!" Their bodies
changed again, this time to a Ventus color scheme, but much faster. They roared again, but
much more powerfully.
Impossible!" Said Exedra, while watching from the Perfect Core.
Drago and Leonidas were cloaked in green flames, and they rammed right into Apollonir and
Erebus, causing them to decrease another 100 Gs each.
"It's Spectra.” Said Apollonir.
"He's forcing Drago and Leonidas to access the Perfect Core within their bodies, so they can
use the powers of all six attributes.” Finished Erebus.
"All six?" Asked Dan. "Aw snap!"
Spectra laughed. "Now you get it. Drago and Leonidas are perfect! The other Bakugan we
experimented on couldn't handle so much power!” He pointed his upraised fist in our direction.
"As long as I have Drago, Leonidas
and the Forbidden cards, we are unstoppable!” Drago and Leonidas then roared very powerfully.
While they were doing so, the other five ancient warriors were watching from the Perfect Core.
"The Perfect Core does have unlimited powers." Said Lars Lion.
"If Drago were still the Perfect Dragonoid, or if Leonidas was still Ultra Leonidas, they would be
able to access all six attributes with ease." Said Oberus.
"But they're not anymore." Said Clayf. "We gave them temporary bodies, and split the Perfect
Core's power between them, and New Vestroia."
“They should not be able to use all those abilities right now. How is this possible?" Asked Frosh.
"It's the Forbidden Card. It forces Drago and Leonidas to absorb more and more power. If
Apollonir and Erebus cannot stop it, their bodies will burn out, and the Perfect Core may be lost,
forever.”
"Or it's the end of New Vestroia." Finished Oberus.
Spectra pointed at Apollonir and Erebus. "Destroy them Drago, Leonidas!" He threw another
card. "Fusion ability Activate! Subterra X!" The card seemed to slice through Drago's neck, then
boomeranged around to slice
Leonidas's. They grunted in pain, but then roared powerfully. Their bodies changed to a
Subterra color. The ends of their tails became silver in color, and they folded in on themselves.
Then, they attacked Apollonir and
Erebus, while gaining 200 Gs.
"Leo! Please, listen!”
Spectra held another card. "Fusion Ability Activate! Aquos X!" Their bodies became blue in
color, and they surrounded Apollonir and Chronog
at 1000 each. Then the torados dispersed, and our Bakugan fell to the ground, losing 100 Gs
each.
water tornados. This caused them each to gain another 200 Gs, putting them
“This is so intense!" Said Baron. "Apollonir and Erebus are getting slammed:"
Drago and Leonidas were visibly shaking. "Then I'll put them out of their misery.” Said Spectra.
"Fusion Ability Activate!" He threw two cards. "Haos X. Pyrus X." Drago gained a white color,
while Leonidas gained a red color.
They seemed to have trouble lowering their arms after they gained the 300 Gs from the abilities.
Drago charged up a few rings on his horn, and Leonidas charged up a large fireball. They
launched the attacks
multaneously, and they hit Apollonir and Erebus, causing them to fall down.
"Drago." Said Dan.
"Leo." Then we heard a plaintive wail from each of them. They each had tears in their eyes, and
they were starting to cry tears of suffering.
"What the? Drago’s crying!" Said Dan. "Drago. You're tearing him apart. Drago!"
"The same is happening to Leo!"
"The power of the forbidden cards and Perfect Core are too great." Said Apollonir.
“Their combined energy is burning out their new bodies. We don't have much time." Said Erebus
"What?" Asked Dan.
“The new bodies we gave them weren't meant to contain so much might. I'm afraid Drago and
Leonidas could" Started Apollonir.
“They could die!" Finished Wilda. Mira and Baron gasped.
"Oh not" Said Julie.
"Wh-what can I do?" Asked Dan. Drago and Leonidas groaned in pain. "Drago!"
"Leo!"
"Are you serious? Drago could die?"
"Unfortunately, they are." I said.
"He can't!” Said Dan. "No way!" He shook his head. "No no no! Apollonir, we have to do
something!"
There may be a way. If I transmute myself back into pure energy, I may be able to enter Drago's
body, and absorb the extra power." Said Apollonir.
"I have a similar plan." Said Erebus
"How do we make that happen?" Asked Dan.
"We have to use Dragon Proudia, but."
"But what?" Asked Dan. "Come on man! I'll do anything to save Drago!"
"For one thing, once Dragon Proudia is active, and I become pure energy, I will not be able to
attack or defend at all."
"And then?"
“Then it'll be up to you, to throw me into Drago. But you'll only get one shot." Said Apollonir.
"You must hit the Perfect Core in his chest, dead center. There is no room for error. Dan, do you
understand?"
"You can count on me. The only thing that matters is saving Drago and Leonidas! Right
Leonidas?"
"He hasn't said the drawbacks yet." I replied.
"Dan, listen to me. This is not a game." Said Apollonir. “If you miss, you may make his condition
worse. You could end up taking Drago's life yourself!"
Dan gasped. "But I can't risk that!"
"If we lose Drago or Leonidas, this world will be thrown into chaos. The Perfect Core will not be
able to keep the planet together!" Said Lars Lion. The Perfect Core was crackling a little bit.
"And the collapse of New Vestroia will be upon us once again.” Concluded Oberus.
"Well Dan?" Asked Runo.
"He's thinking." Said Juli
"What about Leonidas?"
“Just look at them, Master Spectra.” Said Gus. "They're so scared, they don't even know what to
do!"
"Don't be a fool, Gus." Said Spectra. "They're just weighing their options. They don't want to
harm their precious friends." He laughed. "Drago and Leonidas will happily tear them apart!
Nothing will be the same from here
on!" He held up a card. "Ability Activate!" He threw the card. "Neo Legend X!" The card turned
into a purple light, and spit in two. Each one entered Drago and Leonidas, which caused their
cores to pulsate. Then, the veins
around their bodies began to grow even more, as they glowed in a rainbow of colors. We all
watched on, then the power ered. They had each gained 1800 Gs.
"Snap! That's too much power for one Bakugan!" Yelled Dan.
“The power of all six attributes and the Perfect Core is pouring into them!" Said Nemus,
Drago and Leonidas's bodies were becoming even bigger, their chests were pushing out, and
their horns grew longer. Their cores began to glow even more powerfully.
"Neo Legend X combines all six attributes into on
only watch on in horror.
wincible, bone crushing ability.” Drago and Leonidas exhaled large clouds of breath. "So the
question is Dan Kuso and Leonidas, what are you going to do now?" Mira could
"Keith, what has happened to you? Why are you doing this? Why?" She thought.
The Perfect Core was shooting large amounts of lightning in between the remaining five of the
six ancient soldiers.
Their cores were sending out more power to their bodies. They were roaring very powerfully
from the struggle of keeping all the power in. "Spectra, no!" Yelled Dan. "Can't you see? All this
power is destroying them!"
Spectra laughed. "If the Dragonoids don't survive, then it just means that they weren't worthy.
Then, Ill just have to find another Bakugan who
"Worthy?" Asked Dan. "You monster! That's it!" Drago and Leonidas doubled over, thei
cores crackling with power. "We have to make our move, Apollonir!"
"Are you sure? There's no turning back once we begin.”
"Drago is suffering. Even if I have only a one percent chance, I've got to take it! He's my battle
partner and best friend! End of story!" Then he looked Drago in the eyes. "Drago, help in on the
way!" Drago simply groaned.
"Leonidas, are you with me?"
"Leonidas, we need to save them! Come on, let's do th
"Dan, wait. Something I just thought of. Horridian has probably told Spectra what will happen,
and he probably has a plan on how to deal with your move. We need to think this through!"
"I'm not waiting! We need to help them, now!" He grabbed the ability card. "Apollonir, are you
ready?"
"Very well then."
"Let's do this!" Dan set the ability card. "Ability Activate! Dragon Proudiat" Apollonir began to
glow, then he shrank down. He became the shape of a pitch fork.
"What are they doing?" Asked Spectra
"It's nothing I've ever seen!” Said Helios. Dan caught Apollonir.
"Like it or not, I'm taking back Drago!" He yelled as he ran towards Drago.
"Wha?" Asked Runo.
"Is that a fork?" Asked Julie. Dan was still yelling as he ran towards Drago.
"He's gone nuts!" Said Baron.
"No way!" Said Mira as Dan continued to run towards Drago.
"The fool. What does he think he can do against my greatest weapon?" Asked Spectra
"It's now or never!” Yelled Dan. Drago roared. "Listen up Spectra, Drago's not your slave, not
now, not ever!"
"What?"
"He and I have a bond that you could never break, a bond that will last until the end!" Drago
roared again. Dan continued to dodge rocks and lightning arcs. "Together, Drago and I will save
New Vestroia!" He changed his
grip from two handed to one handed.
"Yes Dan." Said Runo to herself. "You can do it!" She yelled
"Oh yeah!" Said Julie. "Show them what you're made oft"
"Go Dan!" Yelled Mira.
"Get Psyched Master Dan!" Yelled Baron.
Dan continued to run towards Drago, even as Drago roared threateningly at Dan. "Drago!" Dan
shouted.
"Drago, what are you doing?" Asked Spectra. "I order you to eliminate that fool, immediately!"
Drago roared with no control, as his body became even larger, cracking the ground beneath his
feet. Leonidas roared as well,
getting bigger at the same time. Drago whipped his tail at Dan, who grabbed onto it, and hoisted
himself up. He then began to run along Drago's tail
"Drago!" Yelled Dan as he readjusted his grip. He continued to run along Drago's tail, even as it
waved up and down to try and get him off. Dan tripped at one point, but got up quickly and
continued running. He soon came
ro Drago's main body, and jumped up very high. He approached Drago's core. "Almost, almost!”
Dan yelled. "Drago!" He launched the fork, to everybody's surprise, and started falling.
"Drago, grab it!" Yelled Spectra. Drago complied, and grabbed Apollonir before he could hit his
core. Dan was surprised as he fell, then he fell onto some crates and laid, unmoving, on the
ground. "Thank you, Dan Kuso."
Said Spectra. "Drago, hit yourself with the fork!" Yelled Spectra. Drago again complied, poking
himself in the arm. "Now do it to Leonidas!" Drago poked Leonidas as he began to glow.
Leonidas began to glow as well.
"No!" Yelled Apollonir to himself. Then, power began to flow into the two Dragonoids again,
more power than they could have expected. However, Spectra just stood there grinning. Thei
grew bigger still. The ground beneath them was cracking even more now.
bodies began to pulsate, and they
Drago and Leonidas power level multiplied by 100.
"No!" I yelled. They were continuing to grow larger.
"It doesn't matter how many people you invite!" Said Spectra. "Our sheer power is too great for
you!" To this, Drago and Leonidas roared, each gaining more power. "Drago, you know what to
do!" Drago
again poked himself and Leonidas with Apollonir. This caused their Gs to go up even more.
They pulsated greatly, and began to get even bigger. Soon, the ground was giving way beneath
them, and they fell
a few feet.
“At this rate, they're going to destroy the planet!” I said. "With how massive they're getting, it's
going to happen soon. If they go up much more though, I'm not sure that their bodies will be
able to handle
it." I looked behind us. "Mira, go get Dan, and get out of here. This could be very dangerous to
anybody not in the brawl.” Mira nodded, and went over to get Dan. Before she could get there,
though,
Leonidas whipped his tail at her. He gouged a very large divot in the ground from the strike, and
made it impossible for her to get to Dan.
‘I can't get to him!" She yelled. Then Leonidas grew even more, destroying more of the ground.
He seemed to be having a hard time moving now.
“Then forget it! Get out of here!" I yelled. Mira and the others fled. I turned back to the battle.
"Spectra, if you don't reduce their power, then they will destroy this planet!”
"Not if I beat you first! Feel our power! Drago, get them!" Drago roared, and grew even larger.
He then used his tail to grab Erebus. Erebus struggled to get free, and Drago continued to gain
power.
"Admit it! You cannot win!"
“Never tell us the odds!" I countered. "Me and Leonidas are connected, just like Dan and Drago!
I will not fail my friend!" Then, Erebus managed to get free from Drago's tail, and his power went
up.
Erebus at 200 Gs.
"What? He didn't even activate an ability!" Said Gus.
“That's because he didn't have to! Leonidas has a connection deeper than any other to the
Bakugan! He is capable of drawing out their power beyond what you can do! We will win this
day!”
"Yeah, right!" Yelled Spectra. "You can't do anything against us!"
Erebus at 300 Gs.
"Drago, do it again!” Drago was about to comply, when Erebus got in the way. He swiftly
grabbed onto Apollonir, and attempted to get him away from Drago. This ended in futility due to
how much
stronger Drago was. Drago simply used his other hand to swipe at Erebus, who had to let go to
get away safely. Then, Drago poked himself and Leonidas for a fourth time. Their power grew,
their bodies
got larger, and their cores got even brighter.
"Let's see what you do against us now!" Yelled Spectra. I simply held up an ability.
"Ability Activate!” I said. "Unitris Blade!” I threw the card at Erebus, which then grew into a
transparent blade. Erebus then used it to slice at Drago's hand, causing him to drop Apollonir.
Unfortunately, Leonidas grabbed him as he fell, so they were still in possession of him.
“Ability Activate!" He said. "Spinning Fury!" Aquafibian spun very quickly in the air, and then
rammed into Leonidas's hand. This caused Leonidas to drop Apollonir as well, and he clattered
to the floor. Both
Drago and Leonidas were too busy with Erebus and Aquafibian to notice Apollon, so I quickly
dashed towards him. I grabbed him, and got back to where the others were. Dan was just
beginning to
come to.
A huge ball of water formed around Leonidas and Drago. Then, it exploded, causing Drago and
Leonidas to become more enraged.
"This isn't working!" I said.
"Of course.” Said Gus. "It's because you can't win!" Horridian growled. Gus looked at him. "Do
you wish to say something?" Horridian remained quiet. "Oh, so now you're speechless? Don't
you have anything to say?
About what will happen?”
"I don't, because this never happened! However, Leonidas was the one who questioned what
would happen. Why don't you ask him?" Snapped Horridian. Gus recoiled a little.
"Stay calm, Horridian. We will win this shortly." Said Spectra. “I must thank you. When you told
me of what was to happen on this day, I didn't believe you. But now this has happened!" Spectra
laughed.
"Well guess what. I told you because I didn't think you would mess around this much. It's time
for me to show you who I really am!" Yelled Horridian. Then he activated his Gauntlet, and
started walking over to
us.
“Horridian, what are you doing?" Asked Gus. "How dare you betray Master Spectra?"
'I dare, because he is going to not only destroy Earth, but also New Vestroia at this rate!”
"What?" Asked Spectra.
"That's right. Drago and Leonidas are still connected to the core! And all this power you're giving
them is going to destroy them!” He was halfway across right now. "So, not only are you going to
destroy at
LEAST two worlds, you're also going to destroy one of my favorite Bakugan, and Leonidas’s
favorite! T am done sitting back, and watching you play this dangerous game!" He was almost to
us.
"Very well then. Drago, Leonidas, destroy that foolt" Said Spectra. Drago and Leonidas roared,
and their power grew even more, while their bodies became even bigger. The ground beneath
was starting to
become unstable, as their bodies started to form a sinkhole. Then, both Drago and Leonidas
whipped their tails at Horridian.
“Horridian!" I yelled. He looked to his left right before they struck. He was launched backwards,
into some crates, and Drago and Leonidas's tails got intertwined, and began to crackle and
spark. Then, they
began to glow again. From being intertwined, they fused their powers.
"Leo!" I said. Then Dan awoke, with his back aching. He saw Drago and Leonidas, with how
their bodies were pulsating, on the verge of gaining too much power. He also saw the glow from
each of them.
"Drago!" He croaked out. Then he tried to sit up, but failed to.
"I'm afraid it's bad news. When you threw Apollonir, according to Leonidas, Drago grabbed him,
then Spectra ordered him to hit himself and Leonidas with Apollonir. This caused their power to
be multiplied by
Apollonir's power. Soon after, he told them to do it again, and again. They did it four times
before we were able to get Apollonir away from them, so they gained many more times the
power than they had
before. And now, they're gaining power every time they move due to how unstable they are.”
"We've got to help them!” Said Dan.
“No, you need to rest right now. If you use Apollonir again, and they stop you again, not only
would you get seriously hurt, but they would just use Apollonir again. Then, they would have the
ability to
potentially destroy Earth, and then they would die, destroying New Vestroia. You need to stay
here, while we deal with this.” With that, Jade set Dan down, and then ran back towards us.
Drago and Leonidas
were still glowing by the time he got back. Spectra was smiling.
“This is Perfect!” He yelled, as the glow died down. Then, they began to grow even more, their
bodies becoming far more powerful. The veins near their eyes were almost connecting, and the
veins around
their cores were almost touching the ones on their legs, arms, and were travelling up their
necks. Their growth was causing the ground to buckle underneath them, which caused me to
drop Apollonir. Then,
he began to move towards them, almost as if he were magnetized. Then, he flew into their tails,
hitting them both at the same time. Then, their veins grew even more, causing the veins on their
bodies to
connect, between their legs, arms, and torsos. The veins around their eyes then connected.
Their bodies began to pulsate even more with the new influx of power. Then, Drago reached
down, and grabbed
Apollonir again. Then Spectra laughed even more. "You cannot stop them! Give it up already!"
They then began to roar, even louder than before.
"You're welcome to try as well! The more the merrier!” Said Spectra. "In fact, let's bring out
another Bakugan!" He readied Helios. "Bakugan, Brawl! Stand Helios!" Helios opened up next
to the massive
Drago and Leonidas, ready to brawl.
"Spectra, T am ready!" He roared.
"Very well, Helios." Said Spectra as he held up a card. "Ability Activate!" He threw the card.
“Nova Blazer X!" It wrapped around Helios, and powered him up. Then, all of our Bakugan
returned to base power
level, including Apollonir. "Now, gate card, open!” The Pyrus Reactor opened, and gave all
Pyrus Bakugan 500 Gs. This also included Apollonir. Then Spectra gave the command. "Drago!
Hit Helios with
Apollonir!" Drago attempted to comply, but had little control over his arms. He ended up
dropping Apollonir, who was then picked up by Helios.
“I'l do this myselft" He roared. He then hit himself in the arm with Apollonir, and roared with
power. His power level got multiplied by 1000, due to Apollonir's power level being that high.
Drago and Leonidas around 1000000000000000 Gs. Helios at 1800000 Gs. Slight at 550 Gs.
Apollonir at 1000 Gs. Erebus at 550 Gs. Aquafibian at 750 Gs. Pyreon at 550 Gs.
Helios was beginning to grow, as the ground began to fracture even more. Then he hit himself
again, and grew even faster.
Helios at 1800000000 Gs.
"Helios, be wary." Warned Spectra. "Your body may not be able to handle this much power."
‘I know it can!” Said Helios, as he hit himself a third time.
Helios at 1800000000000 Gs.
Helios was beginning to close the gap between him, Drago and Leonidas. Then his body began
to pulsate as well. The veins around his body were already touching. "Helios, be careful.” Said
Spectra.
"Don't worry about me!" Said Helios. "I'm doing just fine!" He laughed. Then, just as he was
about to hit himself again, Drago grabbed Apollonir. "Hey! What are you doing?" Drago just
roared.
“This is bad." I said. "Drago and Leonidas are very unstable. If they get hit again, I'm not sure
their bodies will be able to take it." Then, Leonidas attempted to grab Apollonir from Drago. He
resisted
Leonidas's attempts, but they both dropped Apollonir. The next part seemed to happen in slow
motion. I could only watch as Apollonir hit Helios. Not only did he hit Helios on the head, but
also on his arm.
Then, as Helios tried to grab Apollonir, he hit himself on his hand. Then, as a reaction, Helios
flipped his arm, which caused Apollonir to hit him in the chest, and then Apollonir fell and hit
Helios on his foot.
Helios was glowing very brightly, and then his power level blasted upwards.
Helios power level multiplied by 1000. The Gauntlet said that five times. Then, Helios's body
began to bulge even bigger, as he caught up to Drago and Leonidas. Then he surpassed them,
and kept on getting
bigger.
“This is getting out of hand!" I yelled. Then Helios's body stopped getting larger, but the ground
under him continued to break. He was still getting more massive, but he wasn't getting any
bigger. His body
was pulsating, and cracks were starting to form on him. Light seeped through these as if the
power was trying to escape. "How could anything else go wrong?" 1 asked. As soon as I did, I
slammed a hand
over my mouth. The ground underneath Helios collapsed, which launched Apollonir up. Drago
caught him, and hit himself and Leonidas again. They began to gain more power, and caught up
to Helios.
"Drago, one more round for everybody!" Yelled Spectra. Drago proceeded to hit himself,
Leonidas and Helios again, and again, and a third time. The cracks around their bodies grew
even more, as they grew
bigger, without restraint. "That's enough, Drago." Drago didn't listen, and continued to hit them.
Erebus turned to me.
I loaded it into my Gauntlet, just as Drago hit himself and Leonidas again. The cracks on their
bodies grew larger. "I hope this works! Ability Activate! Time Flow!" My Gauntlet glowed,
changing color every
few seconds. Above us, I saw Helios losing power, and shrinking down. Then, he returned to
ball form, as if he had never been played. The Gate Card closed, and Drago and Leonidas
began to shrink as well,
back to the point before Dan used Dragon Proudia. Apollonir was ripped from their grip, and he
returned to Bakugan form. Pyreon reverted to ball form, and Horridian got up. He walked
backwards towards
Spectra and Gus as he caught Pyreon. Aquafibian and Slight returned to ball form, and returned
to their respective partners. Mira, Baron, Runo and Julie came back to the brawl. Then, Dan
seemed to be
flying up into the air, then he fell down the same way he jumped, and ran backwards to us. His
Gauntlet stopped glowing, and the card came out. The ground seemed to repair itself. Then,
time resumed.
"Are you sure?" Asked Apollonir. "There's no turning back once we begin.”
"Drago is suffering. Even if I only have a one percent chance, I've got to do it! He's my battle
partner and best friend!" Yelled Dan. "Drago, help is on the way!" Drago just growled.
"Very well then." Said Apollonir.
"Dan, wait!" I yelled,
"What is it Horridian?" Asked Dan.
"Dan, we've already been down this path. You use Dragon Proudia, and not only do you get
hurt, but Drago and Leonidas use him as a way to gain more power!"
"Wait, what?" Asked Dan.
"Just don't use Drago Proudia!” I said. "Spectra has been told by Horridian what will happen! If
you use that card, Spectra will just have Drago stop the attack! We need another plan."
"He is right, you know." Said Jade. "We have all seen it."
“Later, right now we need to focus on Drago and Leonidas." I said.
"Did all that really happen?" Wondered Horridian. "If it did, then I must help them now, before it
is too late!" Horridian seemed to be ready to move, but Gus grabbed his hand. "What are you
doing, Gus?" Asked Horridian.
"I have a plan guys." I said. "Apollonir has the Ability Drago Proudia, doesn't he? So, what if
Erebus had an ability similar to it?"
"Leonidas, what are you suggesting?" Asked Dan. "That we follow the same path, but without
you?"
“No, I'm saying that we use both, but we also involve the Bakugan. If we keep on moving, then
Drago and Leonidas will not be able to target us. From there, we can strike them, and remove
the extra
power!"
"Then we're in agreement." I said.
"Hole on, who even says that Erebus has an ability like that?" Asked Dan.
"I do.” Said Erebus. "Do not worry about that."
"Then we are in agreement.” Said Dan. He set the ability card. I set mine.
"Ability Activate!” We both yelled.
"Dragon Proudiat”
"Timeline Saviour!” Both of our Bakugan began to shrink down, each one into a specific shape.
Apollonir became a pitch fork like object, while Erebus became a spear.
"What are they doing?" Asked Spectra.
"It's like nothing I've ever seen!” Said Helios.
Me and Dan each caught our respective Bakugan. "Like it or not, we're taking back Drago and
Leonidas!" We both yelled. And then were ran towards our Bakugan.
"Wha?" Asked Runo.
"Is that a fork and a spear?” Asked Julie.
"They've gone nuts!" Said Baron.
"The fools. What do they think they can do against my greatest weapons?" Asked Spectra to
himself.
"It's now," Started Dan.
"Or never!” I concluded. Drago and Leonidas roared.
"Listen up Spectra, Drago and Leonidas aren't your slaves, not now, not ever!” Yelled Dan
"What?" Asked Spectra.
"We share a special bond that you can never break, a bond that will last until the end!” I yelled.
Leonidas and Drago roared.
"Together, we are going to save New Vestroial" We yelled together.
"Yes Dan." Said Runo. "You can do it!" She yelled.
"Go Dan, Leonidas!" Yelled Mira.
"Drago!"
"Leo!"
"Drago, Leonidas, what are you doing? I order to to eliminate those fools, immediately!” Both
Drago and Leonidas roared, as their bodies got slightly bigger. Then, they whipped at us with
their tails. From
behind us, Slight and Pyreon were coming. Just before they tried to hit us, Slight and Pyreon
grabbed us, and got us out of the way.
"What the?" Asked Gus.
“This is only the start!” I yelled. Then, Pyreon dropped me, and Aquafibian caught me. Then he
began to run around Leonidas. "Let's do this!"
"We are no longer under your command." Said Pyreon. "We follow our friends now!" He then
picked up Dan off of Slight.
Slight then rammed into Leonidas. "We will always fight for what is right!" Leonidas fell over, and
knocked into Drago, who also fell over. Then, Aquafibian threw me right at Leonidas's core,
while Dan was
thrown by Pyreon at Drago's core. We were falling at nearly the same speed, and we
approached the cores. Drago and Leonidas looked at us, and attempted to grab us, but were
unable to. Then, he hit their
cores forcefully with our Bakugan, and fell to the ground. We landed on our feet, but Dan then
fell to his knees from the impact. Our Bakugan were lodged in the center of our partner's cores.
They were
roaring in pain, and energy was traveling all over them.
“Don't fight me, Drago." Thought Apollonir as he was absorbed into Drago's body.
“Leonidas, it is time to return.” Thought Erebus as he was absorbed into Leonidas's body. Then,
the extra power transferred to Apollonir and Erebus, and they began to shrink. Their veins
disappeared, their muscles returned to normal, and they returned to normal size. They then
blinked, and we could see their irises. Then they fell over, completely drained of energy, and
reverted to ball form.
Apollonir had beaten Drago with more than 500 Gs, and Erebus did the same to Leonidas. Their
ball forms quickly fell to us instead of Spectra, as his life guage fell to zero. Then, they glowed a
little, and
returned to their regular forms.
