Episode 7: Welcome Back, "Iron Juggernaut"

[Akane Huomoto]

"Torahu!" Akane shouts, as the pyrus tiger nods and launches herself at the earth chunk as Abbadon went charging up to Shatter Gorem for another attack, but without the feline this time.

Once on her paws, Torahu launches her fire at the chunk to hold it steady and headbutts it, and it breaks apart into smaller chunks of earth. It may seem like a small defense move, but really it took up quite a bit of power for Torahu, breathing heavily, though she wouldn't let her opponents see, for showing your enemies you're weak isn't too much of a good thing.

Abbadon had leaped into the air and curled up into a ball, something like a hedgehog but more deadly of course. With the odd looking spikes on the back of it's head facing the opponent, and twirling in the air like a whirlwind, it had used that to harm the Subterra bakugan a few times before stopping in midair and clamping its teeth into his armor, hopefully dealing some more damage to Shatter Gorem.

Torahu and Abbadon's tag team was strong enough to put Allen and Shatter Gorem on the defensive. Although it would seem like it would be enough to consider it a turnaround, it was still to Gorem's advantage anyway since both Torahu and Abbadon were unable to cause the Subterra Bakugan substantial harm, further displaying the prowess of the "Iron Juggernaut". While Allen was completely aware of the threat Akane posed, he couldn't help but enjoy himself a little in the battle since he never knew if this would be the only opportunity he could get. Unfortunately for his opponent, Allen was prepared to end the battle and defeat the Terrorist.

Abbadon and Torahu combined their power, leaped, and linked together to shape themselves into a flame-covered ball that was threatening to run Gorem over. Upon analyzing the attack, both Allen and Gorem realized that this attack had identical power to what they remembered of their eternal rival, Noland. This prompted Allen to not waste any time at defeating them by activating the ability card Tremor Lariat. Gorem charged an energy into his right arm, which caused the ground beneath him to shatter. He then rushed towards Abbadon and Torahu's attack while performing a lariat. The attack hit both of his enemies while they were in their ball-shaped attack, and briefly clashed with it. Gorem eventually prevailed and sent his two enemies backwards, slamming them into the wall as they returned back to ball form. This sent Akane's life gauge to 0, making Allen the winner.

Allen was not willing to let his opponent go free and attempted to subdue her. He nearly succeeded until she screamed for help on purpose to draw the attention of the building's security. When they arrived, they observed Allen approaching her with his Bakugan still deployed after he had already won, which made them think he was about to attack her. The security stopped and apprehended him to question him, which gave Akane more than enough time to slip away undetected. Allen refused to allow that to happen and chased her throughout the building until they got outside; this is where he lost track of her. The security came outside with the intention of disciplining him due to this resistance, which caused Gorem to stand over them and demand for them to watch the recorded footage of the battle and realize what they just prevented them from doing before walking away.
