Dan: The Bakugan Battler Brawlers in: You can't teach an old Dragonoid new tricks!

200 miles away from Bakugan City, Dan and Drago are sailing away after wining the Battle City Tournament. However, Drago had something on his mind. "Dan, are you sure we could just leave them?" Asked Drago. "They'll be fine, Drago. Besides, we'll only be gone for a while" said Dan. "Ok Dan, I guess your right. After what we've been through, they can take care of things" said Drago. "Exactly Drago ol' buddy. So let's just sit back and relax for a change" said Dan, as he leaned back and folded his arms behind his head. *Hmm... but I can't help but think, that something might happen* Drago thought. Just then, a Dimension Tunnel opened up... sucking in Dan and Drago's boat! "Hmm? Dan... DAN, LOOK!" Said Drago. "Huh, what the heck...?" Said Dan, but he couldn't finish his sentence. So as they were falling into, wherever it was they were going, all they could say was: "Whhhhhoooooooooooooooaaaaaaaa...!"

After that, Dan and Drago wake up... in a weird, twisted, and unfamiliar dimension. "Well, I guess this is what 'Land Hoo' means. Where are we anyway?" Asked Drago, but instead of Dan, they heard another voice. "You are both in our part of the Doom Dimension, Drago and Dan Kuso" said the voice. "What? That voice... it can't be!" Said Drago, surprised. "This is nuts. It's... it's..." said Dan, as a Dragonoid appeared from the darkness. And it was none other than... Apollonir!

"Apollonir... your alive, but how?" Asked Drago. "That's not important now, Drago... what's important is that we must brawl, NOW!" Commanded Apollonir. As he said that, a mirage of Dan (Bakugan: New Vestroia) appeared. "Huh? But why?" Asked Drago, but Apollonir ignored him. Apollonir returned to Ball Form, landing in the mirage Dan's hand. "Guess we ask questions' later pal" said Dan. Drago returned to Ball Form as well in Dan's hand.

Dan: What's wrong, Drago?

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: I can't fight Apollonir, not like this.

Apollonir: You must! Drago, I don't want to fight either, but we have too!

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: I said NO! I'm not going to fight you!

Apollonir: Very well, if that's how you feel... (to Mirage Dan) NOW, DAN!

Mirage Dan: Gate Card, open! Double Battle!

Dan: Hey! No fair!

Fusion Dragonoid has entered battle, due to Mirage Dan's Gate Card, at 1200 Gs

"I'm sorry, Dan" said Drago. "Humph... so this is the thanks I get, for giving you my power?" Said Apollonir, disappointed. "Huh?" Said Dan and Drago. "Yes, I thought I've chosen the Ultimate Bakugan to save the universe. Clearly, I was wrong, otherwise you wouldn't have held back the way you did" Said Apollonir. "Apollonir... tell me, why must we battle you?" Asked Drago. "The answer will come to you in time. For now, you must battle me with all your strength!" Said Apollonir. "Ok, let's try this again Drago!" Said Dan.

Apollonir: I brought you here to test you.

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: But why now? Why not before if you were all here this whole time?

Frosch: Because you and Dan were not ready.

Dan: Ready for what?

Lars Lion: To save the universe.

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: But we already did.

Dan: Thousands of times.

Clayf: Your missing the point.

Oberus: The universe hasn't been completely saved.

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Then tell us, who or what is threatening the universe this time?

Dan: Drago! (runs toward where Drago fell) Are you alright?

Drago (Fusion Dragonoid): I'm... I'm ok (stands back up).

Dan: It's so weird. It's like Apollonir just gained infinite power or something...

Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Infinite... OF COURSE! That's how he's using those Abilities, because there from the Infinity Core!

Dan: That's crazy talk, Drago. You have the Perfect Core, so how could... wait a minute! Apollonir is linked to the Perfect Core, but still...

Apollonir: Actually, you've just figured it out.

Dan and Drago [Fusion Dragonoid]: Huh?

Exedra: Unlike the rest of us, Apollonir is the only one who is linked to the Perfect Core.

Clayf: Which is how is able to use Infinity Core Abilities, as you just witnessed.

Lars Lion: He's had it since we defeated the army of Gargonoids' long ago.

Apollonir: But even though it's just a small fragment of the Infinity Core itself, I can still access the Core at will, just like you can access the Perfect Core. But now, it's time to end this! Ancient Warriors, lend me your power!

Current Power Levels:

Apollonir = 4300 Gs, Fusion Dragonoid = 6700 Gs

Apollonir: NO! IMPOSSIBLE! GAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Apollonir was defeated. Winner = Pyrus Fusion Dragonoid and Dan Kuso.

"Aww, yea! We did it!" Said Dan. "Well done, Dan and Drago. Now, any questions?" Said Apollonir. "No, but I get why you brought us here. It was because to not only see if we were ready, but because you wanted to make sure we still had what it takes, and that we should return home" said Drago. "You are correct Drago, but you forgot one thing. Even though with great power comes great responsibility, it also means with great responsibility comes great power" said Apollonir. With that, a bright flash of light appeared.

After Dan and Drago opened their eyes, they where back on earth in the sailboat (Drago is back in Ball Form). "In case your wondering, that wasn't a dream" said a voice. Dan looked down and saw... Apollonir and the other Ancient Warriors in Ball Form! "Guys, but why are you here?" Asked Dan. "Didn't you read the Power Levels? You won by more than 500, meaning we're at your command" said Apollonir. "Alright! That's awesome!" Said Dan. "Right now I don't think it's the best time for celebrating, look at Bakugan City!" Said Drago. "Aw no!" Said Dan.

To be continued...

Dan: Hey Brawlers, trouble has started not even 7 seconds since we got back from the Doom Dimension after freeing the Ancient Warriors. Some Bakugan were attacking Bakugan City, but luckily Drago and I are coming back to help. The others need our help, so tune in next time. You ready: Drago, Apollonir? Bakugan, Brawl! See ya then.

So? Anyone like it? If i get at least 3rd reviews, I'll post next chapter.
