"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MY SISTER VANISHED!?"

Heath and Bonnie flinched, wishing they didn't have to do this. They were currently in Twilight's home, her family staring at them in absolute shock. Her brother, Shining Armor, did not look happy. Meanwhile, Twilight's parents and Shining's wife Cadance looked just as upset.

"She tried to open a portal to Vestroia," Bonnie explained. "But something went wrong."

"Vestroia?" Cadance asked. "That place those Bakugan are from?" They nodded. "Why would she try and do that?"

"The Bakugan are in trouble," Heath replied. "Something's attacking their world and they needed help. Flash went to help and when Twilight learned about this, she couldn't just sit back and watch. She had to do something to help."

"Twilight," her mother looked close to tears whilst her father spoke up.

"Do you know what happened to her?"

"Well," Bonnie scratched the back of her head, "we're not sure. We're hoping she somehow made it to Vestroia. She managed to open a portal there, but her equipment couldn't handle keeping it stable."

"So she might not have been sent to that world?" Shining asked. "For all we know, she was blown somewhere else entirely. She could be in a world made of fire, for all we know. And that's if she's even alive to begin with."

"We're sorry," Heath sighed. "We tried to convince her to stop, but she was desperate to get there. She had to try and help the Bakugan. And Flash." The family didn't seem to take comfort in this.

"So what do we do?" Cadance asked.

"There's nothing we can do," Twilight's father announced in frustration. "We don't know anything about any of this dimensional travel stuff. Heck, scientists are still stumped about what happened last year. All we can do is sit around and hope Twilight comes back."

Those words didn't sit well with anyone, as Shining moved over to a picture with him and his sister in it. "Flash better be taking care of her. And if he comes back without her, I'm gonna make him sorry." He didn't hate Flash, but Twilight had been put in a lot of danger since meeting him. Shining could only hope Flash was keeping her safe at that moment.

Flash, Twilight and Leonidas were still shocked by what they were looking at.

The city they had found themselves in was like nothing any of them had ever seen before. A technological marvel, with Bakugan absolutely everywhere. They were flying around, either with people or on their own. Some were heading somewhere, whilst others appeared to just be relaxing and talking with one another.

And as the three made their way through the city, they noticed some of the people weren't actually people at all.

A man suddenly walked around a corner and looked nothing like an ordinary human, instead having grayish skin and brown hair. But the most noticeable thing about him was the crown he was wearing, which looked like it was made out of yellow bone and appeared to be actually growing out of his head. it went around the front of his head, over his eyes and forehead, whilst wrapping around the back before curving around his ears and sticking out behind them like a pair of horns.

The two tried not to look at him, as he passed them by. And as they did, two other humanoids stepped around. They weren't human either, though their differences weren't as obvious. the tops of their heads were further forward than the rest of their head, making it look like their forehead and nose were larger. And their eyes didn't have pupils and irises, instead being entirely green or blue.

Again, Flash and Twilight did their best not to draw attention to themselves. But as they passed by more ordinary humans, they realised this would be difficult. From how it looked, skin tone choices were much less numerous there. So Flash's bright yellow orange and Twilight's purple skin stuck out like a sore thumb.

"Geez, what is this place?" Twilight asked, as she spotted some kind of notice board that was actually a screen.

Having an idea, she stepped up to it and gently pressed the screen. And sure enough, it was a touchpad one. "Welcome," a voice replied. "How are you in need?" It showed a bunch of different tabs, offering directions, history lessons, how contact to authorities, bus schedules and other items.

Twilight hit the history section and the screen changed to show an aerial view of the city.

"Bakugan City. After the destruction of Bakugan Interspace, the legendary Bakugan Battle Brawlers worked to build somewhere where humans and Bakugan could live in harmony. Built for humans and Bakugan, by humans and Bakugan, the city is the symbol of unity between the two races. And after the defeat of Mechtavius Destroyer, the city also became the place where the Bakugan Alliance was formed. Now it sits as the central hub of the five worlds. And when Vestroia became inaccessible, it grew into the number one location Bakugan call home."

"What does any of that mean?" Flash asked, but Leonidas appeared to be understanding.

"I think I know." The two turned to him. "Remember what Dragonia told us once. About how your world wasn't the first one to come in contact with Vestroia. There was another world that also became linked to it. Where humans and Bakugan learned to live with one another."

"Oh yeah," Flash nodded. "I remember her talking about that. The great devastation that caused most of the original Bakugan on Vestroia to vanish was actually them coming to that world, only for Vestroia to somehow get cut off from it. Then the new generation of Bakugan were all born from the few that were left."

"Exactly," Leonidas nodded. "I think this is that world. The original world that connected to Vestroia and got cut off. Somehow, we ended up falling into this world."

"I see," Twilight looked around and saw a few more of those born horned individuals and the strange eyed people with elf ears. "But what about those people?"

"Didn't the board just say this world is one of five that are part of some kind of alliance?" Flash asked, with Twilight nodding back. "If Vestroia is one of those worlds, then that means there are three others out there connected to this one. They must be from those worlds."

"It's possible," Twilight agreed. "But what do we do now? We're in a world we know nothing about, with no idea how to get back to ours. And whilst we're here, Vestroia is still in danger."

"Yeah," Flash nodded. "This isn't the best situation. I just hope Lyra and the others are okay."

In Vestroia, Azalea and Lyra's battle continued with Zugaidos attempting to ram Amazon down.

"Take him out!" Azalea screamed, as Amazon narrowly dodged the dino's attack. "Ability, Activate!" Zugaidos leapt into the air. "Super Quake!" The Bakugan slammed down onto the ground, causing it to shake once again and make Amazon lose his balance.

Amazon: 400Gs
Zugaidos: 560Gs

"Not good!" Amazon cried, as he struggled to stay on his feet. Zugaidos then charged forward and rammed its head into him, knocking him backwards. "Ahhh!" He hit the ground, but managed to use his tail to push him up and back flip back to his feet. "Lyra!"

"Double Ability, Activate!" Amazon brought his hands together and formed a large sphere of water. "Aquos Bomber, plus Tornado Ocean!"

"Oh yeah!" He thrust the sphere forward and it exploded into a tornado jet stream, which slammed into Zugaidos and knocked it backwards.

Amazon: 600Gs
Zugaidos: 410Gs

The Subterra Bakugan crashed into the ground, roaring as it rolled along the ground. And as it did, Soarin and Braeburn ran over to where Flash and the others had been. "They were right here!" Braeburn cried, "what happened ta them?"

"I don't know," Soarin checked his Baku-Bracer. "Twilight. Please tell me you have a lock on them."

"I'm sorry," Twilight told them. "But we've lost their signal. There was a massive surge of energy, that forced our systems to reboot. And when it finally did, their signals were gone." Soarin frowned, but couldn't think about it due to Zugaidos getting up.

"Ability, Activate!" The dino ran forward, "Wild Rush!"

Amazon: 600Gs
Zugaidos: 610Gs

As it charged towards Amazon, the lizard side-stepped its attack as Lyra swiped two cards. "Double Ability, Activate!" Amazon created a ball of mist, which he thrust forward in order to unleash a massive cloud. "Misty Barrier, plus Ice Slicer!"

Zugaidos looked around, unable to see a thing as it felt its power beginning to drop. Then, Amazon charged forward. "I gotcha now!" His arm fins froze over and he slashed at the Subterra Bakugan.

Amazon: 750Gs
Zugaidos: 260Gs

The ice blades slashed against Zugaidos and knocked it staggering back, roaring in pain as it did so. Amazon smirked and chased after it, spinning several times to slash at it again and again to do more damage. But eventually, Zugaidos dodged an attack as Azalea swiped a pair of cards.

"Double Ability, Activate!" The spikes on Zugaidos' body glowed, along with its helmet. "Spike Stringers, plus Hyper Head Smash!" The light on the spikes flew off and shot towards Amazon, who tried to use his ice blades to deflect them. But three managed to get past and hit him, making him flinch as he was knocked back.

Amazon: 500Gs
Zugaidos: 510Gs

Zugaidos than exploded forward, attempting to ram into him. But Lyra was ready.

"Ability, Activate!" Amazon's body was surrounded by a veil of water, "Re-Hydrate!" He thrust his hands out and caught the dinos' head, getting pushed backwards for a few feet but regaining his strength as he did.

Amazon: 750Gs
Zugaidos: 510Gs

As he slid to a stop, Lyra then pointed to the ground. "Gate Card, Open!" The ground began to glow, as the light flew into Amazon. "Double Gap. This card increases the G Power of a Bakugan with the highest power level, doubling the difference between it and the weakest Bakugan.

Amazon: 990Gs
Zugaidos: 510Gs

"RAAAH!" Amazon overpowered Zugaidos and threw it away from him, as Azalea swiped her card.

"Ability, Activate!" Zugaidos' helmet glowed again, "Iron Skull!" It charged, as its power rose.

Amazon: 990Gs
Zugaidos: 760Gs

The beast tried to ram into Amazon, but he dodged the head and spun around to deal a kick to its chest. This knocked it backwards, as Amazon struck a pose and the gem on his chest glowed. "Am...A...ZON!" The light spread around his body, "Attribute Change! Pyrus!" The light faded and revealed his red and yellow form.

And as Zugaidos regained its balance, Lyra swiped a card. "Ability, Activate!" His fins burst into flames, as he rushed forward. "Heat Striker!" With a single swipe, he slashed at Zugaidos and knocked it off balance again.

Amazon: 990Gs
Zugaidos: 610Gs

Azalea gasped and tried to swipe a card. But before she could, Zugaidos slammed into the ground and shook it. This caused her to lose her balance and the card in her hand slipped out. "NO!" She cried, trying to grab it but staggering around out of control.

And as she almost fell to the ground, Lyra took this moment to take out another card and swipe it. "Ability, Activate!" As Zugaidos tried to push it up, Amazon leapt into the air as a ball of steam appeared in his hands. "Steam Bomber!"

Amazon: 1390Gs
Zugaidos: 610Gs

As Azalea stood up, Amazon thrust his attack downwards. "OH YEAH!" He cried, as the ball exploded into a steam blast and slammed into Zugaidos. The dinosaur roared in agony, as it was knocked backwards and glowed.

"NO!" Azalea cried, as the Bakugan reverted back to ball form and flew over to Lyra.

Lyra: 100% (Winner)
Azalea: 0%

As Lyra caught the Bakugan, she smirked as Azalea stood there. "Game over. Give up!" Amazon returned to her, as Soarin and Braeburn prepared to attack. Azalea glared at them, then called upon her transport.

The ship flew down and she leapt up onto it, as the three ran after her. "This isn't over!" She told them. "You'll pay for this. I promise you!" With that, she flew off whilst the others watched her leave.

Lyra sighed, as she turned to where the portal had been. "Flash...Twilight. What happened to them?"

"I don't know," Soarin sighed. "Hopefully, they all got sent back to our world. And if they did, they might be able to get back. But if not..." Everyone remained quiet, fearing the worst.

"Let's not think like that," Valkyria told them. "Right now, we have to focus on keeping Equestria safe. Now that it's only the three of us, there's no telling how much damage the Rugenga can create."

Everyone frowned, but knew she was right. Even though the Rugenga were also down three members, that didn't make them any less dangerous. It would be up to them to protect Equestria from their evil ways. "Flash," Lyra sighed, "Twilight. Please be careful."

Up on her transport, Azalea had contacted Beck and Kiyrah.

"What the heck happened!" She cried, the other two frowning. "The portal exploded and they all vanished. I need explanations, with lots of pictures to help me understand!" Beck sighed, as he was trying to figure it out himself.

"Cursor activated his Baku-Bracer, which caused the portal to become unstable. The energy surge that resulted, seemed to suck everyone in. It's possible they've all been thrown into another dimension. Or become trapped between dimensions."

"Oh no," Kiyrah gasped. "What do we do?"

"There's nothing we can do," Hydread stated. "We have no way of searching for them. Which means they either have to find a way back themselves, or we complete this mission ourselves." The Rugenga clearly didn't like that idea, but knew they didn't have a choice.

Azalea sighed, as she checked the energy she had been able to collect during the battle. And when she did, she seemed to notice something.

She placed the colourless Bakugan onto the Baku-Bracer's scanner section and watched as the energy flowed into it. And when it did, the Bakugan glowed orange. "YES!" She cried, seeing the Bakugan come to life. "My little Goliath is awake!"

The light died down and the Subterra Bakugan was left in the colourless one's place, the Bakugan popping open and looking around. "Where am I?" It spoke in a deep male voice.

Azalea smiled. "You're with me, in Vestroia. Welcome to the land of the living, Goliath." She laughed, happy to finally have her partner with her. With this, the Defenders wouldn't stand a chance.

Back in the other world, two other individuals were feeling very out of place.

Sunset Shimmer and Moondancer, their Bakugan there beside them, gulped as they made their way through the city full of Bakugan. Despite being surrounded by four different races, they were feeling very self conscious about being there. But they had bigger problems at the moment, as Sunset tried to get in contact with Equestria.

"Hello?" Sunset cried, trying to get a signal on her Baku-Bracer. "Come on. What's wrong with this thing? Why won't it connect?" She tried everything she knew to get a signal, but there was nothing. "This doesn't make any sense. It can connect to Equestria when we're in Vestroia, so why won't it connect whilst we're here?"

"Maybe because there's a connection between Vestroia and Equestria," Flarenix suggested. "We came here from Vestroia, so there's nothing connecting this world directly to yours. So there must not be a way the signal can connect to Equestria."

Sunset sighed, realising he might be right. "Great. Now what do we do?"

"Ahhhhhhh!" Moondancer cried in frustration. "I can't believe this is happening! We were finally starting to win against the Rugenga and now this. What do we do? What do we do?!"

"Just relax," Sunset told Moondancer. "We'll figure out where we are and how to get back to Equestria."

"How?" Moondancer asked. "We don't even know how we got here in the first place." Sorcerell leapt onto her shoulder.

"Moondancer, you need to stay calm. Nothing bad is going to-"

"Hey!" The pair jumped and looked around, as they saw a man walking towards them. He appeared to be in his early twenties, with light peach skin and brown hair. He was wearing a white leather jacket over an orange shirt and blue pants. "Sorry, but you were looking a little lost. Are you okay?"

"We're...new here," Sunset explained. "We don't really know where we are."

"Well you're in Bakugan City," the man replied. "Birthplace of the Bakugan Alliance. The Name's Joe. I don't think I've seen people of your race before. Sorry if that sounded rude. So where are you from? Neathia? Vestal? You don't look like you'd be from Gundalia." They had no idea what any of that meant.

"We're from a place called Equestria," Sunset replied. "And we're just trying to get home."

"Equestria?" Joe frowned. "I don't think I've heard of that place before." He then noticed the Bakugan currently riding on the pair's shoulder. "Huh. Never seen those Bakugan before."

"My name's Flarenix," the Pyrus Bakugan replied. "Sunset's Bakugan Partner."

"And I'm Sorcerell," the Darkus Bakugan continued. "Partner to Moondancer and protector of all." Joe stared at them in amazement, clearly wondering where they came from.

"I'm sorry," Sunset told him. "We really need to get going. We need to find a way home and standing around talking isn't going to help with that." She began to walk off, Moondancer going with her. But Joe then followed.

"If you need help getting home, I might be of assistance. I work with the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. I might not know where this Equestria is, but I'm sure I can find it for you and our dimensional transporters can get you there." This made Sunset freeze, the unicorn slowly turning towards him.

"You have a dimensional transporter?"

"That's right," Joe nodded. "Honestly, there are a bunch of them in this world. It's how we get between the four worlds. So does this Equestria place have a dimensional transporter. Is that how you got here?" However, before either of them could reply, the one named Joe seemed to finally notice something on the girl's wrist. "Wait, where did you get those?"

The girls held up their Baku-Bracers, as Joe frowned. "These. We made them. Or, someone else made them. But we got the designs from a group that's been attacking our world."

"What?" Joe frowned. "That's impossible. There's only one group that has those things and there's no way they'd attack anyone." He stepped forward, looking certain about something. "You'd better start talking. Who are the people who have those devices?" The girls frowned, wondering what they had gotten themselves into.

In another part of the city, two individuals were standing atop a building.

Cursor and Thalia were both there, their Bakugan floating besides them as they looked out at the city. "What a nice looking place," Thalia stated. "The memories I have of it, don't compare to seeing the real thing with my own eyes."

"Indeed," Cursor nodded. "But we're not here to sight see."

Draken nodded. "We have to find a way to return to Vestroia. If we can't get back, we won't be able to absorb more energy."

"He's right," Cursor nodded. "Our best bet is to get to a dimensional transporter and warp back there."

"That might be easier said than done," Thalia stated. She was using her Baku-Bracer, attempting to locate something with little success. "I can't seem to connect to Vestroia. Whatever that explosion was, it scrambled the dimensional beacon circuits. I can't get a signal to Vestroia."

"Which means finding its dimensional coordinates will be next to impossible," Tigress stated. "So what do we do now?"

Cursor thought for a moment. "If we were pulled through, it's likely everyone else that was near the portal suffered the same treatment. That means Hayate is likely here as well"

"Along with those three Defenders," Draken agreed. "This might work out in our favour. If we can get back and leave those three here, that'll mean three less obstacles stopping us from taking over Equestria and claiming the Bakugan."

Cursor nodded. "For now, let's focus on finding Hayate. He's bound to be around here somewhere." They all nodded and started searching for a way down. As they did, Cursor was almost excited for the chance to battle in this new world. With all the different brawlers there, it would be the perfect place to grow stronger.

In Equestria, the remaining Defenders had returned to the castle and all looked worried as they watched the ponies at the control console work.

"Please tell me you've found something," Lyra asked. But Rosemary shook her head.

"I'm sorry. But we can't lock onto their Baku-Bracers. Wherever they are, it's somewhere we can't get a signal to." The Defenders all sighed, as Celestia and Luna both frowned. Twilight was also working on the console, Spike standing besides her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get a lock on them.

"Isn't there anything we can do?" Soarin asked, only for the Guardians to float down.

"I may be able to find them." They all turned to Dragonia, shocked by this sudden revelation. "Don't forget, Leonidas and I are connected. I was the one who gave him my power to help create his body. That created a connection between us and even when he's in another world, I should be able to locate him. But it'll take time."

"Alright then," Celestia nodded. "Then until she's able to find him, we have to keep Equestria safe." Everyone nodded, though they were all curious where Flash and the others had ended up. And if they were safe there.

Back with Joe and the Equestrian, the girls had finished explaining everything to him.

To say Joe was shocked by their story was an understatement. "So let me get this straight. You girls come from another world, where the Bakugan from Vestroia escaped to, after their world was attacked by a group called the Rugenga." They nodded. "And another friend, from another Earth, tried to get to Vestroia but got stuck halfway through. And when you tried to help her, the portal blew and you all got sent here?"

"That's pretty much the gist of it," Sorcerell stated.

"Huh," Joe seemed to be having a hard time deciding if he should believe them or not. "That's an interesting story."

"So you don't believe us?" Sunset asked.

"I didn't say that," Joe replied. "After everything I've seen, your story's totally plausible. But..." The girls groaned, thinking they weren't going to be believed. However. "Alright, I'll trust you." The girls blinked, having not expected that. "Until you say or do something that'll make me doubt you, I'll believe what you're saying. And if you are telling the truth, it means Vestroia is in danger."

"So what do we do?" Moondancer asked.

"First, I'll take you to the Battle Brawler's HQ. I don't know if we can find the location of Equestria, but if it's possible we'll find it." The girls smiled, as they began to follow him. However, before they could even leave the street, something happen that drew their attention.

A huge explosion, coming from several streets away.

The three spun around and saw part of a building blowing up, as several Bakugan were sent flying and forced back into Ball Form. "What's going on?" Moondancer asked, Sunset unsure. But then they heard a familiar squawking sound and from out of the smoke, Skyreign flew into the air.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Sunset rushed towards the battle, with Joe and Moondancer right behind her.

In an unknown location, two individuals had just been alerted to the attack that had just happened.

One of those figures, the shorter of the two, stepped towards a computer and brought up footage of the attack. And when they saw the Bakugan responsible, they were shocked. "What?" They spoke with a female voice, "is that who I think it is?" The other figure stepped forward and took a look.

"It appears so. But there's something different about it."

"Who cares how different it is." A Darkus Bakugan flew up, its voice rather deep and gravely. "It's attacking the city. We have to stop it." The two figures nodded, only for someone else to appear on the screen. Sunset and Moondancer.

"Hello," the figure zoomed in on them and noticed their horns and hooves. "That's new." He then noticed who was with them. "Joe. What's he doing with them?"

As Skyreign flew overhead, Hayate chuckled seeing all the Bakugan that were forced into ball form.

There was one Bakugan that wasn't in ball form, this one being an Aquos Bakugan that looked like a large blue walrus. And as Skyreign dove down, the walrus tried to blast her with water. But she fought through it and slammed into the beast to send it flying.

"Raaah!" He cried, getting reverted back to ball form.

Several humans were also there, each of them trying to get to one of the Bakugan that had been knocked down. "Leave them!" Hayate stated. "Those Bakugan are now the property of the Rugenga!"

"What are you talking about?" A young woman stated in fear. "Bakugan don't belong to anybody." But Skyreign unleashed a burst of wind, that knocked her flying backwards.

"They do now!"

"HAYATE!" He looked around and saw Sunset and Moondancer running towards him, the Rugenga growling.

"So you annoying pests got sent here as well. No matter." Skyreign flew down, but Moondancer threw Sorcerell and the Bakugan appeared before creating a magic barrier that blocked the wind. "Interesting place, isn't it. Projectors all over the city, are creating a constant dimensional field, allowing Bakugan to enter their true forms whenever they want."

"It's impressive," Moondancer stated. "Too bad it lets people like you cause problems."

Hayate chuckled. "Not my fault the Bakugan here don't have a spine." Skyreign flew down behind him, as Sorcerell prepared to protect the girls. "How about you and I show these losers what a real brawl looks like?" He held up his Baku-Bracer, Moondancer doing the same.

"I'm down for that." She turned to Sunset and Joe, who nodded and prepared to move so that they could help those Hayate had attacked. "Bring it on!" They activated their Bracers, which caused their Bakugan to revert to ball form. And as the power-ups started to appear, Joe and Sunset ran past Hayate towards the others.

"Hurry," Sunset picked up some of the Bakugan, "let's get out of here."

The people noticed her horn, but didn't seem to give it a second look as they started running away. As they left the street, the Bracers finished booting up and their life gauges began to fill up. "LET'S BRAWL!"

Hayate: 100%
Moondancer: 100%

Moondancer quickly took out a card and threw it. "Gate Card...SET!" As soon as it hit the ground, it exploded in a burst of purple light whilst the pair leapt into the air. "Bakugan...BRAWL!" They threw their partners, both hitting power-ups before they landed on the ground. "Bakugan, STAND!" The two popped open and in a burst of wind and purple light, the Bakugan took their true forms.

Sorcerell stood tall, as Skyreign took to the air and let out a squawk. Both Bakugan stared up at each other, ready to fight it out as their G Power rose.

Skyreign: 700Gs
Sorcerell: 720Gs

"Gate Card!" Moondancer cried, "OPEN!" The ground began to glow and out of it, a bunch of purple clouds flew out and swirled around Sorcerell. "Darkus Reactor!"

Skyreign: 700Gs
Sorcerell: 920Gs

Sorcerell breathed in the mist, as magical circles formed in front of her hands. And as she thrust them forward, purple lightning exploded out of them and almost struck Skyreign. But the giant bird was able to avoid them, shooting through the air as the lightning struck the buildings instead.

In another part of the city, Flash and Twilight were making their way through the town whilst still trying to figure out what to do.

But as they passed through a park, they noticed a lamppost with a TV on it. And whilst this wouldn't usually catch their attention before a simple glance, the pair suddenly stopped when they heard a woman's voice coming from it. "This just in. An unsanctioned Bakugan Battle has just begun in the upper west side of Bakugan City."

The screen changed to show a familiar Bakugan, Flash's eyes going wide when he saw Skyreign. It then changed to show Sorcerell, Flash realising Moondancer had to be there.

"We need to get there, now."

"How?" Leonidas asked. "We don't know where the battle's taking place." But as he said that, Twilight spotted another notice board and moved over to it.

"Welcome," the screen came online, "how are you in need?"

Twilight pressed the tab stating map, which caused the screen to show the entire layout of the city along with a red circle stating that was where they were. "Okay." She pressed another tab that showed a direction arrow and when a touch keypad appeared, she typed in upper west side.

Soon, a red line appeared from the park and made its way through the city to eventually stop and reveal the location designated as the upper west side.

"Nice," Twilight memorised the directions before turning to Flash. "This way!" He nodded and followed, the pair racing out of the park and hoping they got there in time

Back in the battle, Sorcerell continued to blast lightning at Skyreign. But the bird managed to avoid every shot, as Hayate swiped a card.

"Ability, Activate!" Skyreign began to spin, wind swirling around her. "Raging Tyrannical Tailwind!" Skyreign dived down and tried to hit Sorcerell, who launched several lightning bolts. But she dodged them all before beating her wings and sending the wind flying down towards Sorcerell.

"GYAH!" She cried, as they slammed into her and knocked her staggering back.

Skyreign: 850Gs
Sorcerell: 720Gs

"Sorcerell!" Moondancer cried, as her Bakugan pushed against the building and staggered forward again.

"We're not going down that easy!" Sorcerell stated, with Moondancer nodding as Skyreign flew back up to a safe distance. "Moondancer. Show him why they shouldn't mess with us." Her partner nodded before taking out a card and swiping it.

"Ability, Activate!" Sorcerell swung her arms around again, her hands creating a bunch of different shapes. And as she did, light came out of her hands and formed a bunch of symbols. "Magic Circle, Level One!" The symbols were soon sealed within a circle of light and once complete, she thrust her hands forwards and the circle flew up towards Skyreign.

The bird tried to dodge, but wasn't fast enough and the magic circle slammed into her before exploding. Doing so caused the magic within the circle to fly into the Bakugan and shock her. "GYAH!" She squawked in pain, almost falling towards the ground.

Skyreign: 550Gs
Sorcerell: 720Gs

Sorcerell used this opening to try and blast her with another round of purple lightning, but Skyreign recovered at the last moment and managed to pull herself away from the lightning's path.

"Ability, Activate!" Her body burst into flames. "Deadly Whirlwind Firestorm!" Skyreign dove down and picked up speed, the green embers flying off her as she did. And before Sorcerell could escape, she smashed into her and an explosion followed.

Skyreign: 550Gs
Sorcerell: 420Gs

"AUGH!" Sorcerell was sent flying and crashed into the ground, as Skyreign flew back up and prepared to attack again.

Moondancer gasped, as Skyreign dove down to attack again. But before she could, Moondancer took out a card. "Ability, Activate!" Sorcerell forced herself back to her feet and started creating symbols in the air. "Magic Barrier, Level One!" The symbols were soon placed inside a magic circle, which solidified as Skyreign slammed into it.

As soon as she did, the remaining flames flew off her body and into the circle. Those flames were then changed into energy, which flew into Sorcerell and powered her back up.

Skyreign: 550Gs
Sorcerell: 720Gs

As Skyreign was pushed backwards, Sorcerell unleashed another blast of lightning that struck her and made her cry out in pain. "That's the way!" Moondancer cheered, as Hayate growled before taking something out.

"Come, Bakugan Trap!" He threw the object into the air, "Ventus Insectra!" The Bakugan popped open and in a burst of green light, transformed into its true form. That form that shot towards Sorcerell and slammed into her, knocking her away before she could attack Skyreign again.

Skyreign+Insectra: 850Gs
Sorcerell: 720Gs

As Sorcerell regained her balance, Skyreign recovered whilst Hayate swiped his cards. "Double Ability, Activate!" Insectra's tail stinger glowed, as green wind and flames swirled around Skyreign. "Aero Stinger, plus Aero Style Destruction Dance!"

Insectra fired the attacks, which slammed into Sorcerell and made her cry out as her power dropped.

Skyreign+Insectra: 1050Gs
Sorcerell: 570Gs

Skyreign then charged towards Sorcerell, attempting to attack her head on. But Moondancer was ready. "Double Ability, Activate!" She swiped the cards and Sorcerell glowed.

"Dual Casting! This Ability lets me reuse the effect of an Ability I've already used. Like Magic Circle, Level One!" Sorcerell once again formed a magic circle, which she launched at Skyreign and hit her dead on.

"Augh!" She cried, feeling her power lower. But that wasn't all that happened.

"Plus, Spell of Enlightenment. This lets me gain the same power increase given to you by your last Ability Card!" Sorcerell's glow increased, as her power rose whilst Skyreign's dropped.

Skyreign+Insectra: 750Gs
Sorcerell: 770Gs

Sorcerell launched several lightning bolts, which struck the area all around the Ventus Bakugan. And as it did, Moondancer took something out. "And now. Come, Bakugan Trap!" She threw it into the air and it was revealed to be a cylinder-shaped Bakugan that was pointing horizontally. "Darkus Kyubinx!"

The Bakugan popped open, creating the shape of a canine Bakugan sitting on its hind legs with nine leaf-shapes coming out the back. And as it flew up, it glowed before transforming into a bright purple light.

That light shot down and landed in front of Sorcerell, taking the form of a quadrupedal fox with nine tails. It was mostly purple, with black fur around its chest, on its feet and the tips of its tails. Around its neck was some kind of metal pole, with had been bent and wrapped around it to for a metal bow that was a combo of black and yellow strips. The ends of this pole had purple bell-like objects on them. On its forehead was a ying-yang symbol, with the same symbol on each of its hind legs.

As soon as the Bakugan appeared, the power of Darkus Reactor flew into its body and powered it up.

Skyreign+Insectra: 750Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1200Gs

The sudden power up allowed Sorcerell to unleash a powerful blast of lightning, which almost hit the two Ventus Bakugan as they flew around.

Hayate then took out a pair of cards and swiped them. "Double Ability, Activate!" Wind swirled around Insectra, whilst Skyreign's wings glowed. "Whirlwind Rage, plus Serrated Feather Bombardment!" The two's power rose, as Skyreign launched her glowing feather darts down towards the pair.

They tried to avoid them, but both Bakugan found themselves getting hit several times and losing a lot of their combined power.

Skyreign+Insectra: 850Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 800Gs

But Moondancer wasn't giving up so easily. "Ability, Activate!" Kyubinx stood still and spread her nine tails, as the tips of them each caught fire and glowed a strange dark blue flame. "Fox Tail, Dark Flame!" The fireballs blasted off the tails and flew up towards the two, all nine fireballs then exploding into several others that moved even faster

The two Bakugan flew around, attempting to avoid the attacks. But one managed to hit Insectra and exploded, making it hiss as its power dropped.

Skyreign+Insectra: 720Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 800Gs

More of the fireballs then slammed into them, exploding and causing them to roar in pain as more and more of their power was lost.

Skyreign+Insectra: 670Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 800Gs

Hayate frowned, as he took out a pair of cards and swiped them. "Double Ability, Activate!" Skyreign beat her wings and created a powerful gust of wind, whilst a sphere of air swirled around Insectra's tail. "Crashing Cyclone Fortress, plus Tailwind Cannon!"

Skyreign's wind swirled around them, creating a barrier that blocked the remaining fireballs and extinguished them. At the same time, Insectra fired the sphere on its tail.

Skyreign+Insectra: 1100Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 800Gs

As the sphere shot towards them, Moondancer took out two cards. At the same time, Sorcerell leapt onto Kyubinx's and held onto the metal bow around its neck. The fox started leaping around, dodging the wind sphere that struck the ground and exploded.

"Double Ability, Activate!" Sorcerell leapt off Kyubinx, her hands glowing as she started chanting something. "Mystic Enchantment..."

"Ellora Van Garonok!" The light exploded off of her hands and hit Skyreign, making her squawk in pain as her power was being drained.

Skyreign+Insectra: 900Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1000Gs

"Plus, Magic Flame Aura!" Kyubinx's entire body was suddenly surrounded by a blue flaming veil, the Bakugan looking up towards Insectra before letting out a howl. As she did, a stream of blue and black flames shot out of her mouth and flew towards the Trap Bakugan.

Skyreign+Insectra: 900Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1150Gs

The flamethrower slammed into the insect, making it cry out as it was knocked backwards and crashed into a building. Moments later, it reverted back to ball form and fell to the ground. "What?" Hayate cried, as his Life Gauge dropped.

Hayate: 70%
Moondancer: 100%

As Hayate rushed over to pick up his Trap Bakugan, Skyreign kept a safe distance from the other Bakugan due to her loss of power.

Skyreign: 600Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1150Gs

Hayate growled, "this isn't over yet!" He took out a card and swiped it, as Skyreign's body burst into flames. "Fusion Ability, Activate!" Skyreign's blazing body shot forward, a powerful gust of wind blowing behind her. "Eternal Blades of Flaming Gale Force!"

Skyreign: 1100Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1150Gs

The flames flew down, but Sorcerell and Kyubinx were able to withstand them as they were pushed back a foot or two. Moondancer also protected herself, as she took out a pair of cards. "This is over, thanks to Magic Flame Aura." Hayate wondered what she meant, until he realised Kyubinx was still surrounded by the flaming veil. "Thanks to that Ability, Kyubinx has gained the Pyrus Attribute on top of her Darkus Attribute."

"So?" As he asked that, Flash and Twilight suddenly appeared down the street. They both spotted the battle, as Moondancer took a step forward.

"So, I can do this! Double Ability, Activate!" She swiped the card, as Kyubinx's body burst into blue and black flames. "Astral Flame..." From out of the fire, a ghostly fire fox appeared and flew through the air towards Skyreign.

She tried to avoid it, but the fox was too fast and slammed into her. She hissed, as the fiery ghost passed through her body and out of her back. It then returned to Kyubinx, giving her some of the power it had stolen from Skyreign.

Skyreign: 1000Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1200Gs

"Plus, Diagonal Correlation!" Hayate's eyes went wide, as h realised what a Darkus and Pyrus Bakugan together truly meant.

Kyubinx howled again, as a stream of energy flowed between the pair. Sorcerell felt a great wellspring of power flow within her. "Fire and darkness. Unite and unleash the great power of the cosmos!" Sorcerell created a magic circle, as Skyreign tried to escape. "Give me the strength to vanquish this evildoer!"

Skyreign: 1000Gs
Sorcerell+Kyubinx: 1400Gs

It was at this moment that Joe and Sunset had returned and saw what was happening. "GOOO!" Sorcerell cried, as she thrust the magic circle forward. In doing so, it unleashed an extra powerful burst of purple lightning that shot towards the avian Bakugan.

Skyreign tried to avoid it, but the lightning seemed to be tracking her. And eventually, it slammed into her and she squawked in agony. "GYAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"SKYREIGN!" Hayate yelled, as his Bakugan was forced back into Ball Form. He looked absolutely shocked, as his life gauge dropped all the way to nothing.

Hayate: 0%
Moondancer: 100% (Winner)

He rushed over to grab his Bakugan, shocked by what had happened. "I was defeated so easily." He growled at Moondancer, as her Bakugan returned to her. Sunset moved over and patted her on the shoulder, smiling as Flash and Twilight headed towards them.

"Guys!" Flash yelled catching their attention.

"Flash," Sunset gasped, "Twilight. You're okay." The pair nodded, as they all turned to Hayate. "It's over." Hayate glared at them, but another voice spoke up.

"Not yet, it isn't." Everyone looked up and saw Cursor and Thalia, both of which stationed atop a lamppost that had survived the battle. "You may have beaten him, but you'll find the two of us won't go down so easily." He and Thalia prepared their Baku-Bracers, Flash and Sunset doing the same.

However, something happened that suddenly stopped their oncoming brawl.

Out of nowhere, their Baku-Bracers all deactivated. "What?" Flash asked, trying to get his to work. "What's going on?"

"I've shut them down, along with the Bakugan Dimensional Areas in this part of the city." Everyone looked around and saw a pair of figures standing atop one of the buildings.

It was a man and woman pair, the man being a blonde wearing dark clothing. He also wore a mask over his eyes, with only one of them not being hidden behind his large mop of blonde hair. The other was a slightly shorter woman, with orange hair wearing white and blue clothing.

The pair leapt off the building, landing on a lamppost before jumping off it onto the ground.

"Keith!" Joe smiled, "Mira!"

Cursor didn't look happy. "Who do you think you are?"

The blonde man chuckled, as he stepped forward. "I am Spectra Phantom. And whilst my friends are away, I am the protector of Bakugan City. Which means you are all in trouble."

The other two Rugenga leapt down, the three glaring at them all before Cursor turned to Hayate and nodded. The Ventus Brawler quickly reached into his jacket and took something out, throwing it to the ground with an explosion of smoke filling the street.

Everyone coughed, as the smoke filled the area and blinded them.

They tried to blow it away, but it was just too strong. And eventually, the smoke faded but the Rugenga were all gone. "Ahh!" Flash cried, "they got away." But the girls were more focused on the new arrivals, as Spectra and the woman named Mira moved towards them.

"Who are you?" The woman inquired, noticing the hooves and horns Sunset and Moondancer had. "You're clearly not from this world. Or any other world we know of. So start talking."

"We can explain," Sunset stated. "Kind of. It's a long story."

"Please," Twilight spoke up, "we're trapped in this world. We didn't mean to come here. It was an accident."

"Accident, you say?" Spectra stated, only to then notice Leonidas on Flash's shoulder. This along with Sorcerell and Flarenix, made him raise an eyebrow. "If you're from another world, how is it you came into possession of Bakugan?"

"It's a long story," Leonidas replied. "By any chance, do you people know a brawler by the name of Dan." Their eyes widened, "and his partner Drago." Now the pair were really shocked. "And what about a Bakugan named Amazon."

"We know them," the woman stated. "But how do you know of them?" The group shared a look, all wondering how they were going to explain this to them.

Author's Note

Boom. The Defenders meet some of the Battle Brawlers. Well...I think Keith and Mira count as a Battle Brawler. Joe does. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

For those wondering about Kyubinx. Look up Youkomon and make its white parts black.
