**[Opening Ends]**

A boy was walking down the street, where the weather was looking a little gloomy due to a little rain. His untidy hair was matted with rainwater, along with his black sweatshirt. Even his dark jeans were a little wet from the rain.

The boy walked slowly as his eyes showed no light on it. It's as if... he lost hope in his life.

**Boy** - ...

He remained silent, as if he had forgotten how to talk, before he looked up at the dark sky.

**Boy** - ...Why...?

The boy breathed out silently before he closed his eyes, still standing. He wanted everything to end... every painful times to end. The times of his loss... and the times when he had no one to rely on.

Just before he was about to lose his remaining hope, he felt light shining down on him, startling him before he covered his face with his arms to prevent himself from being blinded. Slowly opening his eyes, he noticed something large.

**Boy (surprised)** - ...!

The large figure that was approaching him looked like a black dragon, whose eyes looked fierce and full of hate and anger.

**Boy (frightened)** - Who... are you...?

The dragon doesn't respond but roars instead, causing the boy's surroundings to tremble and crack at the power as the boy looked around in shock and disbelief.

**Boy (frightened)** - Ah... Ah...

The ground the boy was standing on began to crack, causing the boy to feel more frightened before tears welled up in his eyes. But before he could make a sound of fear, the ground gave way, causing the boy to fall deep into a dark space.

**Boy (frightened)** - AHHHHHH!

**Boy (startled)** - AH!

Panting and widening his eyes, the boy looked around to see himself in his bedroom. He sighed in relief, before shaking his head.

**Boy (relieved)** - It was... just a dream. But... this isn't the first time it happened.

Getting out of bed, the boy headed to the bathroom to check himself with the mirror. His untidy black hair was the same, along with his black pupils in his eyes. His face looked clear, with no damage on him.

**Boy (unsure)** - Why is it when I sleep, I always have that dream? Or a nightmare, maybe? I just... don't know anymore.

He looks out the window to see the moon shining bright in the sky, before he looked to his left, where his desk was. On t of the desk was where a small basket was, having dark balls in it, which were known to be... Bakugan.

**Boy (unsure)** - Could it be related to Bakugan...? That dragon I keep dreaming looked like it suffered through something. And it's not some ordinary dragon, too...

He picks up a black Bakugan that was a Darkus Attribute. Playing it with his palm and fingers, the boy sighs before he places it back in the basket where all the other Darkus Bakugan were.

**Boy (thinking)** - *It's only been a while since I've started playing Bakugan, yet I still don't know the basics of it. If only there was someone that could teach me, like one of the Battle Brawlers, maybe things would be much easier...*

He sighs before lying back on his back, trying to go back to sleep to try and forget.

**Boy (unsure)** - I just wish... I knew who that black dragon was... Maybe then I'd be finally able to withstand the nightmares I'm given.

With those final words, the boy finally fall asleep, not knowing that tomorrow would be the day when his true time as a Brawler would begin.

**Meanwhile, at an Unknown Hyperspace...**

A loud roar was heard, before a giant dragon was revealed trapped inside some sort of core. It began to give energy to something small before a dark figure sneered before he retrieved the energy that was given by the dragon that was trapped.

**Evil Man (malicious)** - Finally! The Infinity Core of the Doom Dimension is Freed! Now, all Bakugan will bow down... to ME! HA HA HA HA HA!

**Meanwhile, at the Doom Dimension...**

In the dark dimension where many Bakugan were banished, it was all quiet and dark. That is... until a certain ball of light appeared, before rising up. As soon as that ball of light rose up, so did many others.

The balls of light seemed to be coming from the Bakugan that had fallen as they all began to merge together, creating an even bigger ball of energy! By the time all the balls of light merged together, something was born.

A shadowy figure of a dragon appeared out of the energy before it roared. It soar through to the high heights, heading to where a portal suddenly opened. The dragon made its way out of the dark dimension, to head where it felt like it's supposed to go.

**Back at Earth...**

**Boy (bewildered)** - No way! I never made fun of you guys!

**Bully (arrogant)** - Admit it, punk! You were making fun of the way I battle! Right, Akira?

**Akira (cocky)** - That's what I heard! What's your problem, kid?

**Boy (bewildered)** - Nothing! I just like Bakugan!

When morning arose, the boy was trying to search for someone to have a battle with, so he could learn the basics on how to play Bakugan. Unfortunately, he had ran into a bully named Shuji and his little brother Akira.

Understanding the reputation Shuji had as a battler, the boy concluded that Shuji wasn't part of the Battle Brawlers as he tried to find someone else that was friends with them. However, it insulted Shuji as he assumed the boy was making fun of his skills.

So right now, the boy is finding himself cornered by the two bullies as they immediately began to gang up on him because of their premature assumptions. And he wasn't liking this at all.

**Shuji (arrogant)** - Well, so do I! And now, I'm gonna show you on how it's played!

**Boy (hesitant)** - B-But... But I'm new at Bakugan! I don't even know all the rules yet!

**Shuji (arrogant)** - Well, you're about to learn! The hard way!

**Akira (cocky)** - Teach him a lesson, Shuji!

Shuji cracked his knuckles at those words, amming the boy gulp as he took another step back while trying to keep his face all calm and collected. However, he couldn't hide the fact that he was scared of what he was about to experience.

But just as Shuji was about to force the boy into battling, someone else interfered with the issue, someone that the boy knew of from online.

**Familiar Voice** - Back off, Shuji!

The three brawlers turned to see Dan standing behind them with a small smile on his face! His Guardian Bakugan, **Drago**, was sitting on his left shoulder when the Pyrus Brawler appeared.

**Shuji (annoyed)** - Wha!? Dan!? This is none of your business! Get lost!

Smirking, the Pyrus Brawler ignores Shuji's threat before he turns to the boy with a question.

**Dan** - Hey, kid! What's going on here?

**Boy (amazed)** - Whoa! Dan from the Bakugan Brawlers!? You're all over the net!

**Dan** - So? You need any help?

**Boy (amazed)** - Are you serious? That would be awesome!

With those words, Dan pulled out his card to activate the field, with Shuji and Akira pulling out theirs. The boy followed the three as they began to activate the battlefield.

**Dan (confident)** - No problem! I'll show you some of my old tricks! And if you're lucky, I won't even charge ya! Ha ha!

The boy sweat dropped at those confident words before he shook his head, as he turned to face Shuji and Akira, as the bully was ready to brawl.

**Shuji (annoyed)** - Enough talking, twerps! It's time for some battle!

**Dan, Boy, Shuji, and Akira** - Field, Open!

The Attribute Hexagon revealed itself as time began to slow down before it stopped. Time wasn't going to continue on unless the battle was over.

**Shuji VS Unknown Boy**

With the field opening, the boy looked around to see himself in the Bakugan battlefield, with Dan and Drago next to him. Shuji and Akira stood at the opposite side, as Dan offered some advice for the new battler.

**Dan** - Hey, this is your first time in a real Bakugan Battle, right?

**Boy (hesitant)** - Well, yeah... All I know is how to start, like throwing the Gate Cards and stuff like that. Then, when two Bakugan stand on the same card, the battle begins.

**Dan (amazed)** - Huh... So you know the basics of battle. Alright! Throw one of your Gate Cards and see which is best for you to use!

The boy nodded as Shuji took out a Gate Card impatiently.

**Shuji (impatient)** - Quit stalling! Gate Card, set!

**Boy** - Gate Card, set!

The two Gate Cards flew past each other before they each landed on the field. They glowed for a bit before enlarging to bigger sizes so that the Bakugan battles could begin.

**01T**

**Shuji (cocky)** - I'll start! Bakugan, brawl!

The arrogant Brawler threw out a Subterra Bakugan on his Gate Card, before calling it.

**Shuji** - Bakugan, stand!

The Bakugan that Shuji called out was a Subterra **Saurus**, who roared at being sent out onto the Gate Card. Widening his eyes in surprise, the boy checked his Baku-Pod where it calculated all the Bakugan's Power Levels.

**Baku-Pod** - *Battle begins. Opponent's Saurus recognized, at 290 G's.*

**Dan** - So Shuji sent out a Subterra Saurus! Okay, kid! Now, it's your turn to choose a Bakugan to send out!

**Boy (hesitant)** - Uh, right...

**02T**

Remembering the three Bakugan he had with him right now, the new Brawler made his choice before he sent out his Bakugan out to battle.

**Boy** - Okay, here goes! Bakugan, brawl! Bakugan, stand!

The Bakugan rolled up onto Shuji's Card, revealing itself to be... Darkus **Juggernoid**! A turtle-like Bakugan that came out of its shell to face the dinosaur-like Bakugan.

**Baku-Pod** - *Bakugan recognized. Darkus Juggernoid's Power Level at 280 G's.*

**Boy** - 280? Looks like I made a mistake by sending Juggernoid out...

**Dan (calm)** - Don't jump into conclusions just yet, kid! The battle really starts now, since both Bakugan are at the same card!

**Shuji** - And this is also where I get to crush you in the first round! Gate Card, open!

Both Dan and the boy turned to see Shuji opening the Subterra Reactor Gate Card, allowing his Saurus' Power Level to boost up!

**Baku-Pod** - *Saurus' Power Level increases to 390 G's.*

**Boy (surprised)** - This is bad! If this keeps up...!

**Dan** - Don't panic, kid! You still have an Ability Card you can use, right? Use one of your Ability Cards to counter Shuji's attack!

At the mention of Ability Cards, the boy looked at the cards he brought with him before he activated one of them to counter the attack from Subterra Saurus!

**Boy (hesitant)** - I hope this works... Ability Card, activate! **Spice Slayer**!

Using the Ability Card he just played, Saurus began to roar in losing power while Juggernoid on the other hand, drained that power boost from the Subterra Bakugan!

**Baku-Pod** - *Adjusting Power Level. Saurus' Power Level decreases to 290 G's. Juggernoid's Power Level rises up to 380 G's.*

**Dan (ecstatic)** - Aw, sweet! That Ability Card just now drained the power boost from Shuji's Subterra Saurus, making the kid's Juggernoid even more stronger!

**Shuji (shocked)** - What!? How did you do that!?

Akira just watched in shock to see his brother's Bakugan get defeated by the Darkus Bakugan, as Saurus returned to its ball form in defeat, leaving his brother with only two Bakugan allowed in battle now.

**Juggernoid** on the other hand, returned to the boy's hand in its ball form as he had won the first match

**Shuji: 2 Bakugan**

**03T**

**Akira (shocked)** - How... did that happen!? I thought you said you had this kid, big bro!

**Shuji (annoyed)** - I know! He just got lucky from that battle! This won't be the same! Bakugan, brawl! Bakugan, stand!

Understanding with how his little brother was frustrated from that one loss, Shuji threw out another Bakugan for the boy to face as the Bakugan revealed itself to be... Subterra **Serpenoid**! The snake-like Bakugan hissed, awaiting its opponent.

**04T**

**Dan** - Well, kid... Looks like this Bakugan has 300 G's, thanks to my Baku-Pod! I think you know how to deal with this!

**Boy (unsure)** - I'm not sure... It's even stronger than when Saurus was out...

As he spoke, he wondered whether to send Juggernoid out again until he came up with another thought.

**Boy** - Right... Here goes! Bakugan, brawl! Hah!

The Bakugan was thrown, landing on the card that belonged to the beginner. The ball opened up, revealing itself to be... a Darkus Serpenoid!

**Shuji (annoyed)** - Oh great... A snake against a snake. Except my snake should be stronger than yours! Ability Card, activate! **Earth Power**!

The Ability Card Shuji has activated made the Subterra serpent Bakugan stronger, as it hissed with the new power given.

**Baku-Pod** - *Subterra Serpenoid's Power Level increases to 350 G's.*

**Boy (surprised)** - Another power boost? And it's not from a Gate Card this time, but from an Ability Card!

**Dan** - Right. That's because Ability Cards have the ability to boost a Bakugan's Power, negate a Gate Card's effect, or drain energy from the opponent's Bakugan, just like how you did with Juggernoid in the last battle.

**Boy** - I see... So if he used that Ability Card to boost his power... Gate Card, open! **Additional Task**!

The Command Gate Card was activated, forcing the Subterra Serpenoid to return to Shuji's hand, much to the arrogant Brawler's disbelief and confusion.

**Shuji (confused)** - Huh!? What just happened!? We were right in the middle of a battle!

**Dan (amused)** - Whoa... I didn't expect the kid to have that card.

**Drago (curious)** - What did he just do? It forced Shuji's Bakugan to return to his hand.

**Dan** - That's because the Command Card, **Additional Task**, forces the opponent's Bakugan to return to their hand! And because of that, Shuji's Subterra Serpenoid lost the power boost it got from his Ability Card! Smart move, kid!

**Boy** - Yeah...

**05T**

**Shuji (annoyed)** - Lucky move, kid! But luck doesn't get you anywhere all the time! Bakugan, brawl! **Juggernoid**, stand!

The Subterra turtle-like Bakugan revealed itself, facing the dark serpent Bakugan, who hissed at a new opponent coming out to play against itself.

**Baku-Pod** - *Bakugan recognized. Juggernoid's Power Level is at 320 G's. Serpenoid's Power Level is at 300 G's.*

**Boy (unsure)** - Another Bakugan with a higher Power Level? Hasn't this guy had enough of sending in stronger Bakugan before battle?

**Shuji (annoyed)** - Less stalling and more battling, kid! Ability Card, activate! **Desert** **Thunder**!

The new Ability Card boosted his Bakugan's Power again, only for it to be a 100 point boost instead of 50! And with the new power, Shuji's Juggernoid's Power Level rose up to 420 G's.

Juggernoid charged at Serpenoid, ready to make a triumphant strike, until the new Brawler played another card to counter his opponent's strike attack.

**Boy** - I-I won't let you! Ability Card, activate! **Spice Slayer**!

**Shuji (shocked)** - What!? That Ability again!

The arrogant Brawler watched as his Juggernoid began to lose the energy boost it got from the **Desert Thunder** Ability Card! Serpenoid, on the other hand gained the energy it stole from the Subterra Bakugan.

**Baku-Pod** - *100 G's transferred from Juggernoid to Serpenoid.*

**Boy** - Do it, Serpenoid!

At the order, the snake-like Bakugan hissed before it lunged onto Juggernoid, biting one of its legs before throwing it high into the air! The turtle-like Bakugan roared in pain before it transformed back into its ball form.

**Shuji: 1 Bakugan**

**06T**

**Akira (disbelief)** - Huh!? Bro, what are you doing!? You're losing to a beginner!?

**Shuji (annoyed)** - Hey! It's not like I'm trying to lose on purpose! Don't make me look like the loser here, Akira!

While the two brothers were arguing with each other, both Dan and the boy watched with sweat drops as Drago sighed with a shake of his head.

**Drago (annoyed)** - Those two... Don't they realize that the battle is still going on? I'll never understand humans like those two...

**Dan** - So much for planning to rough you up. You're up, kid!

**Boy (hesitant)** - R-Right... Gate Card, set!

The boy threw out another Gate Card to set on the battlefield, catching both brothers' attention as the boy threw out another Bakugan to use.

**Boy** - Here goes! Bakugan, brawl! Bakugan, stand!

The Bakugan was thrown, revealing itself to be Darkus **Saurus**! Shuji clenched his fists, as he was prepared to try and make a comeback move against the beginner that managed to outplay him, despite of Dan's little assistance.

**07T**

**Shuji (angry)**- I won't be losing this match! The real battle starts here and now! Bakugan, brawl! Bakugan, stand!

The Subterra **Serpenoid** revealed itself, hissing at the dark dinosaur-like Bakugan before the battle began.

**Shuji / Boy** - Battle begin!

Saurus roared as it charged onto Serpenoid, who wrapped its coils around it. The snake-like Bakugan began to squeeze the dinosaur-like Bakugan, causing Saurus to roar in pain. The boy watched as Shuji prepared to finish the battle up with an Ability Card.

**Shuji (cocky)** - You're toast, kid! Ability Card, activate! **Wall Burst**!

The Ability Card that was thrown made the power of Saurus grow weaker as it roared in pain from the more painful grip it felt from the squeeze by Serpenoid. With the effect of Wall Burst, Saurus' Power Level dropped down to 190 G's.

**Dan (alarmed)** - Heads up, kid!

**Boy (surprised)** - R-Right! Gate Card, open! **Character**!

**Shuji (surprised)** - Did he say, Character Card!? The Gate Card that doubles a Bakugan's Power Level!?

Shuji's worst fears came true when the Gate Card opened, causing the Saurus Character Card to be able to double the power of Saurus' Power Level!

**Baku-Pod** - *Saurus' Power Level doubles to 380 G's.*

With Saurus' power doubling, the dinosaur-like Bakugan roared before it freed itself from Serpenoid's coils, before it punched the snake-like Bakugan into the air! Defeated by the power difference, Serpenoid returned to its ball form, defeated.

The bully could only watch in disbelief as his Bakugan returned to him, causing him to lose the entire battle.

**Shuji (stunned)** - Huh...?

**Dan (ecstatic)** - Alright! The kid won!

At hearing that he had won the battle, the new Brawler sighed in relief before he scratched the back of his head with a small chuckle.

**WIN: Boy**

**Akira (disbelief)** - H-How? How did you beat my brother!?

With the Field closing, Shuji was on his knees while his little brother was in disbelief. His big brother, lost to the new player who never played Bakugan before! Shuji gritted his teeth in frustration before he pointed at the boy angrily.

**Shuji (angry)** - This isn't finished, kid! Just wait until I battle you again! You'll be sorry for sure!

At those words, Shuji and Akira ran off, leaving the boy and Dan behind.

**Shuji (arrogant)** - And he didn't beat me, Akira! I... I let him win!

The boy sighed in relief, as he was happy for winning the battle, but also relieved to see that he wouldn't be bothered again for a while. Just as he was about to feel joy in his victory, he felt something punching onto his left shoulder, only for it to be a playful punch!

**Dan (impressed)** - Nice job! You rot!

**Boy (unsure)** - Um... thanks? You did teach me on how to handle battles, after all.

**Drago** - Actually, kid... Daniel here only warned you on how a battle really begins and how Gate Cards and Ability Cards are used. You, on the other hand, seemed to know how to counter your opponent's powers pretty well.

**Dan (surprised)** - Aw, come on, Drago! Do you have to say things like that? He would've been in trouble if we weren't here for him!

**Drago** - Ha! You're one to talk, Dan. You still have a long way to go if you want to be the best, or even defeat Masquerade, for that matter.

Those words stung Dan a little before he glared at his Guardian Bakugan.

**Dan (irritated)** - Ah, whatever! You sure have a funny way of saying things to me especially since we became partners, for real! Especially since you started treating me like I was your servant, calling me 'human this' and 'human that'!

**Drago (annoyed)** - That's only because you were treating me and your other Bakugan like toys! I already told you this, Daniel, but Bakugan is more than just a game! You even threw me into a river because of that argument of ours before which included your Bakugan!

The boy watched as the Pyrus Brawler and his Guardian Bakugan argue with each other before a small smile rose up to his face. Seeing them argue back and forth, it was too much for the boy to bear as he gave a small chuckle at the two.

That caught their attention as they ceased their argument to stare at the boy in confusion.

**Dan (confused)** - Huh? Is something funny, kid?

**Boy (chuckling)** - Sorry, sorry... You two just, I don't know, reminds me of how best friends get along with each other...

Both Dan and Drago look at each other before the Pyrus Brawler regained his smile before he chuckled. Even Drago found this a little funny as he gave a small chuckle, too.

**Dan (chuckling)** - Best friends, huh? I guess you can put it that way. Anyways... a little more practice and who knows? You might be able to reach up to the Top 50 or Top 20 if you keep this up!

**Boy (unsure)** - Well, that would be awesome, but... I'm just a beginner. To end up in a higher rank and become stronger myself with my Bakugan... I need a wicked Bakugan! Something like Drago, for example...

At those words, the Pyrus Brawler looked back at his Guardian Bakugan while Drago looked at his human partner back before they knew what the boy meant. Dan just smiled, before understanding how the new Brawler felt for a good partner.

**Dan (understanding)** - Hm... I see what you mean. It's real important to have a tight relationship with your Bakugan! Of course, that's something what Drago taught me when Bakugan were more than just fun and games...

**Drago** - Hmph...

**Boy** - I see... Anyways, thanks, Dan!

**Dan** - Gotta roll! Catch ya later, buddy! And good luck!

The boy nodded to Dan, who began to walk off until Drago reminded Dan of something.

**Drago** - Hold it, Dan... Aren't you going to ask him for his name?

That stops the Pyrus Brawler as he freezes up before coming to a realization.

**Dan (startled)** - Aw, snap! You're right! Hey, kid! Mind if I catch your... name?

Just as Dan turned to see where the boy was, the new Brawler was nowhere in sight, catching the Pyrus Brawler by surprise as he looked around. The boy he helped was nowhere in sight as he scratched the back of his head.

**Dan (confused)** - Huh? Where did he go? He was here just a few seconds ago...

**Drago (irritated)** - Ugh...

Without knowing where the boy went, the Pyrus Brawler shook his head and continued exiting out of the park, not knowing that the boy was actually headed down to where his home was.

**Later...**

Dropping onto his bed, the boy sighed, understanding what he's been through today.

**Boy (amazed)** - I can't believe that I met Dan, one of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers... I only wonder if he would accept me into the Battle Brawlers if I work hard enough...

Looking at the ceiling, he took out his three Bakugan that he used today against Shuji, before placing them on the bed.

**Boy (grateful)** - Thanks, you three... You may not hear or know what I'm saying, but... I'm glad that you three were the ones that helped me win that battle today, along with Dan's help...

His three Darkus Bakugan doesn't respond to his thanks, causing the boy to sigh before he shook his head.

**Boy (knowing)** - Figured they wouldn't respond... Now I wish that I had a talking Bakugan to talk to, just like how Dan has Drago or when Runo has Tigrerra...

With the sun setting, the boy made dinner for himself before he washed up and lied on his bed. Looking at the stars out his window, the boy frowned before he let his sleep take over him. What he didn't know, was that tomorrow would give him the chance to become the strongest.

**The next morning...**

The boy was walking into the park, hoping to encounter someone there only to see no one around. He looked around to see if there was anyone to battle against, only to find no one. He sighed, before he held the back of his head with a frown.

**Boy (serious)** - Oh... I'll be a Battle Brawler... someday.

But just as he said those words, a bright light shone right in front of him, catching the new Brawler by surprise. Eventually, the light started getting even brighter, surprising the boy!

**Boy (surprised)** - Huh? What's going on... WHOA!

As the boy covers his eyes to prevent himself from being blinded, it began to die down with purple sparkles of light showering down a little slowly. Looking around, the boy kept the surprised look on his face before he felt something tap onto his left foot.

Looking down, the boy blinked to see an unknown Darkus Bakugan right at his left foot, causing him to lower down and pick it up, before inspecting the new Bakugan with his curious eyes.

**Boy (curious)** - A...A Bakugan? Wow! I've never seen this one before!

Just as the boy took the Bakugan into his right hand, the Bakugan opened up, catching him by surprise! But just as he was about to exclaim his surprise, his surprise only became higher when the Bakugan in his hand spoke.

**Darkus Bakugan (curious)** - W-Where am I?

**Boy (bewildered)** - Uh... Planet Earth?

The Darkus Bakugan lowered its head a little and huffed, like he sounded disappointed or something.

**Darkus Bakugan (disappointed)** - Not in Vestroia, then?

Widening his eyes to hear the Bakugan's universe from the new Bakugan's voice, the boy frowned at the new Bakugan. This was clearly no ordinary Bakugan, since it can talk and it sounded like he was a strong battler of some sort.

**Boy (curious)** - W-Who are you?

**Darkus Bakugan** - My name is **Leonidas**.

At Leonidas introducing himself, the boy felt surprised. The tone of this Bakugan didn't sound friendly, but he didn't sound like an enemy Bakugan, either. That was when something came to his mind before he made an offer to the new Darkus Bakugan.

**Boy (unsure)** - Huh... Um, hey... You want to team up with me? I bet we could beat anyone!

At those words, the boy felt determination rising up to his chest as his timid expression turned serious as he felt determined to become the strongest Brawler, which seemed to have caught Leonidas' attention.

**Leonidas (curious)** - You mean if I battle with you, I'll have the chance to beat the other Bakugan?

**Boy (assuring)** - Yeah! We can beat them all, that is... If you want to!

The new Bakugan began to think for a while before he slolwy made his decision. Looking up at the boy, he spoke his words while coming to a decision.

**Leonidas (serious)** - Hm... I sense that in this world that I will only release my true power in these Bakugan battles.

At those words, the boy frowned, before realizing what the Darkus Bakugan meant by releasing his true power.

**Boy (unsure)** - Releasing your true power? Does that mean... You accept to be my partner?

**Leonidas (serious)** - That's exactly what I mean, kid. Of course I accept your offer!

**Boy (grateful)** - That's... awesome! It's great to meet you... partner.

The boy spoke the partner word silently until the Bakugan made a demand or a request for the human boy.

**Leonidas** - Hold it, kid... Before we start as actual partners, you're gonna have to tell me your name too since I told you mine! I can't keep calling you kid, just so you know...

**Boy (unsure)** - Oh... Right. My name... My name is Grey. Grey Ikenami. But just Grey will be fine.

**Leonidas** - Grey, huh... Nice name, for a human that is, I think...

**Grey (unsure)** - Um... Thanks?

"N-Never mind... Anyways! You ready to lose or you think you're ready to win?" Dan asked, as he got ready to battle. Runo and Marucho took their Field Cards out as well, causing Sora to take out his.

"Oh, I'm game. The question is, Dan... Are you ready for me?" Grey asked confidently, as the four Brawlers activated the card to open the battlefield.

"FIELD, OPEN!"

The Attribute Hexagram revealed itself and rotated around the four Brawlers as the Bakugan battlefield opened to begin the battle.

**Grey VS Dan**

"Gate Card, set!"

Both Brawlers sent out their Gate Cards to begin the battle. Once the two cards enlarged themselves, the Pyrus Brawler took the first move to make the play start a bit more interesting.

**01T**

"And another card... set!" Dan called out, as he threw the Gate Card next to where Grey's first Gate Card was, on the Pyrus Brawler's right.

"Bakugan, brawl! Pyrus **Griffon**, stand!" Dan called out, summoning the griffin-like Bakugan to appear onto his second Gate Card. The Pyrus Bakugan roared at being summoned to the field as Sora got ready.

**02T**

"In that case... Gate Card, set!" Grey called out, sending another Gate Card to enlarge itself next to Dan's first Gate Card on his right.

"Bakugan, brawl! Darkus **Griffon**, stand!" Grey shouted out, summoning forth the Darkus Griffon onto Grey's second Gate Card, catching the Pyrus Brawler by surprise as he checked his Baku-Pod.

*"Battle commencing. Pyrus Griffon's Power Level at 350 G's. Darkus Griffon's Power Level at 320 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, as Dan smirked.

**03T**

"So we're playing careful, huh? Fine, then! I'll start! Bakugan, brawl! Pyrus **Robotallian**, stand!" Dan called out, as the robot-like Bakugan faced Darkus Griffon, who roared at facing its new opponent in battle.

"Battle begin!" Both Brawlers called out as the two Bakugan clashed with one another, until Dan made the first move.

"Try this on for size, kid! Ability Card, activate! **Fire Tornado**!" Dan called out, causing Robotallian to be surrounded by a fiery tornado, while causing Griffon to back off and be cautious upon the upcoming attack.

*"G's transferred from Griffon to Robotallian. Griffon's Power Level at 220 G's. Robotallian's Power Level at 410 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, until the Darkus Brawler countered with his Gate Card.

"Not so fast, Dan! Gate Card, open! **Super Pyrus**!" Sora called out, causing the Command Card to be active.

"Say what!?" Dan gasped as he checked his Baku-Pod.

*"Super Pyrus activated. G's transferred. Griffon at 410 G's. Robotallian at 220 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed. The Pyrus Brawler could only watch as Robotallian was knocked out of the battle by Griffon's assault, ending it as his first loss.

**Dan: 2 Bakugan**

The defeated Bakugan rolled over to Dan's foot, causing the Pyrus Brawler to smile in amusement.

"That was one sweet move... By using the Super Pyrus Command Card, he was able to switch my Bakugan's power with his!" Dan smirked, as Drago floated over to him in reminder.

"This is no time to be impressed, Daniel. Grey's move is coming next. Brace yourself." Drago reminded, earning a nod from his human partner.

"I got ya, Drago!" Dan stated as the Darkus Brawler continued the battle with his next move.

**04T**

"Let's do this again... Bakugan, brawl! Griffon, stand!" Grey called out, as he sent Griffon to face Dan's Griffon, who was ready to face his Darkus counterpart.

"He's using Griffon again and not any of his other Bakugan? What's the kid thinking?" Runo asked, causing Wynton to think it over.

"Maybe he's planning to use his other Bakugan and Leonidas for later, so that in case if Dan finds a way to counter his moves, it would be much more easier for Wynton to counter back and gain a big win." Wynton theorized as Dan was ready.

"You're asking for it, kid! Gate Card, open! **Energy Merge**!" Dan called out, allowing the Command Card to open and steal power from Darkus Griffon, so that Pyrus Griffon would have the advantage.

*"G's transferred. Pyrus Griffon at 450 G's. Darkus Griffon at 220 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, causing the Darkus Brawler to blink before he tried to counter.

"Not if I can help it...! Ability Card, activate! **Rapid Darkus**!" Grey called out, as the Ability Card forced another Bakugan of Grey's to go out and face Dan's Griffon, making it a two against one battle!

"What!? Aw, not two against one!" Dan gasped as he watched Darkus Robotallian team up with Darkus Griffon, combining their Power Level to 550 G's. It was at that moment when the two Darkus Bakugan combined their powers to defeat their Pyrus opponent!

Pyrus Griffon roared in defeat, before returning to its ball form and rolling to where Dan's foot was, as it shared the same fate as Pyrus Robotallian.

**Dan: 1 Bakugan**

"No way... He countered by Gate Card with his Rapid Darkus Ability Card..." Dan breathed out, causing Wynton to realize what the effect was.

"I see... The Rapid Darkus Ability Card allows the Bakugan player to send out another Bakugan to join the Darkus Bakugan that's already in battle. That way, their combined power would be enough to defeat a strong opponent..." Wynton pointed out.

"That was pretty impressive, to be honest... And with that being done, Dan is only left with one Bakugan, which is Drago." Runo pointed out as Dan smirked.

**05T**

"Man, oh man... You're pretty good, kid! And to think you were just a newbie Bakugan player when we first met...!" Dan praised, causing Grey to smile back.

"Let's just say I'm trying to improve during Bakugan battles... And this is one of those battles where I try to improve, so that I can get even stronger with my Bakugan..." Grey explained, causing Dan to smile back.

"Well, you seem pretty strong enough already! But can you beat Drago?" Dan asked as he got ready to send out his Guardian Bakugan to the field.

"Bakugan, brawl! Drago, stand!" Dan called out, as he sent Drago onto his first Gate Card, causing the Pyrus Dragonoid to appear in battle with a loud roar. At Drago appearing, the Darkus Brawler narrowed his eyes.

**06T**

"Just as what I'd expect from Dan... Of course he would use Drago in battle... Bakugan, brawl!" Grey breathed out before he sent out Robotallian to face Drago! At that moment, Dan was ready.

"Gate Card, open!" Dan called out, activating the Pyrus Reactor Gate Card. With the flames surrounding the two Bakugan, Drago roared at gaining some new strength to fight back.

*"Drago's Power Level increases to 440 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, until Grey countered with his Ability Card.

"That won't save Drago that easily! Ability Card, activate! **Spice Slayer**!" Grey called out, causing the Darkus Ability Card to counter the power boost.

*"Drago's Power Level decreases to 340 G's. Robotallian's Power Level increases to 430 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, until Dan used his second Ability Card to counter back!

"Don't think that'll stop us, kid! Ability Card, activate! **Boosted Dragon**!" Dan shot back, causing Drago to roar and take the lead again by 10 G's! The Pyrus Bakugan blasted Robotallian away, ending it in its defeat!

"No way!" Grey gasped as he watched his defeated Bakugan roll up to him in its ball form.

**Grey: 2 Bakugan**

**07T**

As Drago returned to Dan, the Pyrus Brawler was ready to send him out again.

"Come on! Let's keep going, Drago! You ready?" Dan asked, earning an affirmative response from his Guardian Bakugan.

"I'm ready when you are, Dan! Let's go!" Drago called out, as he turned into a ball to let Dan throw him out onto the game once again.

"Okay then! Bakugan, brawl! Drago, stand!" Dan shouted out, allowing Drago to take the field once more, with his power being boosted to 440 G's, thanks to Boosted Dragon still remaining in effect.

**09T**

"They're both equal now! Dan has Drago left while Sora has Leonidas left!" Marucho pointed out, with Runo frowning.

"This next battle will determine everything..." Runo pointed out as the two Guardian Bakugan watched to see the final battle begin, with Dan making the initiative move, by throwing his final Gate Card out.

"Here goes! Gate Card, set! Bakugan, brawl! Drago, stand!" Dan called out as he sent out Drago once more to face his final opponent for this battle.

"Leonidas... It's now or never. You ready?" Sora asked, causing the Darkus Bakugan to open up in response.

"As ready as ever, Sora. Now, let's go! We have one more battle to win to claim our victory!" Leonidas called out before he returned to his ball form, earning a nod from the Darkus Brawler as he got ready.

**10T**

"Okay... This is it! Bakugan, brawl! Leonidas, stand!" Grey Ikenami shouted out, as he sent his Guardian Bakugan to face Dan's Guardian Bakugan out onto the Pyrus Brawler's Gate Card.

Once the dark dragon appeared to face the fire dragon, both Bakugan roared to begin the battle as the boys were ready to begin.

"Bakugan, brawl!" Both Dan and Grey Ikenami called out as their Guardian Bakugan clashed with one another. There was a punch... a smack from the tail... and some slashes from the claws. Both Bakugan weren't giving each other an opening, as their moves were big and intense!

"WHOA! This is starting to get hot and intense, baby!" Preyas commented in shock, as he felt on how much heat was coming out from the battlefield.

"But the true question is, on who will be the victor? Will it Drago? Or will it be Leonidas?" Tigrerra asked, causing Runo and Marucho to be silent. Neither of the two knew what the answer can be, since both Brawlers had similar skills.

And the same went for their Guardian Bakugan, as they were both giving it their all to defeat each other. But while they seemed to be equal, Drago's Power Level was a different story.

"Get ready, Grey! Gate Card, open!" Dan called out, as he activated the second Pyrus Reactor Gate Card, boosting his Guardian Bakugan's power.

*"Drago's Power Level increases to 540 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, causing the Darkus Brawler to immediately counter the Pyrus Brawler's move.

"That won't stop us, Dan! Ready, Leonidas!? Ability Card, activate! **Alpha Blaster**!" Grey called out, allowing his Guardian Bakugan to gain more power from his own signature Ability.

*"Leonidas' Power Level increases to 600 G's."* The Baku-Pod buzzed, much to Runo and Marucho's surprise.

"That goes above even Drago's Power Level!" Marucho pointed out in shock, with the Haos Brawler realizing what this meant.

"They just might win against Dan...?" Runo breathed out in shock as Leonidas got ready to make the finishing blow.

"This is the end, Drago! It seems the one who is victorious in this battle for today is Sora and me!" Leonidas roared as he flew, ready to shoot his attack. Sora smiled, pumping his fist in the air.

"Go get 'em, Leo!" Sora shouted out, as Leonidas blasted his energy stream to where Drago was! Just when it looked like the battle would go to Sora and Leonidas' side, though...

Dan grinned, and held up his final Ability Card to use during the battle.

"That's some sweet counter move, Sora! But the battle isn't over yet until we say it's over! Ability Card, activate! **Melt Flare**!" Dan shouted out, as the Ability Card was sent to Drago, allowing him to use Boosted Dragon!

But as Drago shot his attack, the flames from the Boosted Dragon grew even larger, much to Grey and Leonidas' shock.

"N-No way! He boosted the Boosted Dragon with another Ability Card!? No! Leonidas!" Grey gasped as he watched Leonidas struggle against Drago's Ability. The two Bakugan struggled to overpower one another, until the evolved Boosted Dragon began to overpower the Alpha Blaster.

"Try This Dan, Fusion Ability Card Activate Shadow well. Grey say as Leonidas blasted his energy stream to where Drago was! Just when it looked like the battle would go to Grey and Leonidas' side, When Grey Activates his Fusion Ability as The two Bakugan struggled to overpower one another, until the evolved Alpha Blaster began to overpower the Evolved Boosted Dragon.

Dan called out as Drago continued to struggle, until...

**BOOM!**

"No... No way..." Dan breathed out as he watched Drago start to fall down, until he returned to his ball form in defeat. The defeated Pyrus Bakugan bounced on the ground, before stopping right in front of the Pyrus Brawler's feet.

Falling to his knees, the Pyrus Brawler bit his lips, accepting of what happened just now.

"So it's all over then... We lost."Dan breathed out in defeat.

**Dan: 0 Bakugan**

**WIN: Grey**

With the battle over, the field closed, allowing everyone and the Bakugan to return to the real world.

"We lost... I'm sorry, Drago... We lost because I couldn't predict their actions..." Dan apologized, as Drago slowly opened up, before looking up at his upset Reploid partner.

"What's done is done, Dan... There's nothing we can do much about it now." Drago grunted, catching the Pyrus Brawler by surprise.

"You're... not mad?" Drago asked, earning a scoff from the Pyrus Bakugan.

"Of course I'm mad! I'm mad about us losing! But I knew... that the blame of the loss doesn't just belong to you. It belongs to me as well, since I was also too confident with the fact that we might be able to win." Drago confessed.

"Huh? But... I Won. Doesn't that mean I passe this test of yours?" Grey asked, causing him to earn a grin from the Pyrus Brawler.

"No, no! To pass the test, it wasn't just to win a battle against me, it was a test to see how your relationship with your Bakugan is! And by the looks of it and the way you battled, you just proved that you love Bakugan more than anything!" Dan confessed, much to Grey's surprise.

"What...? So that means the kid didn't have to win, then?" Runo asked, causing her Guardian Bakugan to chuckle in amusement.

"It would seem so..." Tigrerra chuckled as Marucho smiled in understanding.

"Either way, I have to say... It was a great battle to see, especially since it was Drago fighting against Leonidas!" Wynton admitted, as he couldn't help but feel the excitement of what he had seen earlier during the battle.

The Darkus Brawler on the other hand, remained surprised until he was offered a hand by the Pyrus Brawler, who smiled down at him.

"Welcome to the Battle Brawlers, Grey. Welcome to the team!" Dan called out, with Drago remaining on his shoulder. Blinking in surprise, the Darkus Brawler soon had his face soften before he accepted the Pyrus Brawler's hand.

Lifting himself up with the thanks of Dan, the Darkus Brawler gave a smile and a chuckle.

"It's an honor to fight alongside with you guys." Grey said with a smile on his face. The two boys shook hands as an acceptance to their partnership as a team to work together... Of course, the moment was going well, until...

\*growl\*

Sweat dropping, Dan gave a sheepish grin while Runo and Wynton gave the Pyrus Brawler deadpanned expressions. Even Grey was surprised as the Haos Brawler snapped at the Pyrus Brawler for ruining the nice moment they had together.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! YOUR STOMACH HAD TO GO AND JUST RUIN THIS GOOD MOMENT!" Runo snapped as she glared at Dan, who glared back with a retort.

"Hey! It's not like I can help it! I can't control my stomach making that weird noise when I'm hungry!" Dan retorted back.

"Well, you better control it or that stupid stomach of yours is going to ruin every nice moment it can, just like it did now!" Runo shouted back, creating another argument between herself and the Pyrus Brawler.

Marucho smiled sheepishly at the scene, as the three Guardian Bakugan just watched in bewilderment. Even the Darkus Brawler was bewildered of what he was seeing right now.

*"Oh boy... So these are the Battle Brawlers I'll be working with. When it comes to serious situations like fighting Masquerade and his goons, it's serious... But when it's time to relax and have fun, I guess every moments go like this..."* Grey thought sheepishly.

He didn't hear Leonidas turning his head away from the childish argument as the Darkus Bakugan gave a small unimpressed scoff.

"Humans..." Leonidas mumbled under his breath.
