Episode 26: Gaining Control

[Noland Hardy]

Noland and Drago were struggling to match Nero in power since the hit from Fusion Cutter. The Pack was so coordinated in their attacks that Noland found it difficult to hit just one member without having to worry about being shot from the side or in the back. Fortunately, Noland sneaked a gate card onto the field and activated it right when Nero started to become overzealous. The card was called Armored Enforcement, a new gate card he gained from Drago's evolution that encased the dragonoid in golden armor that could withstand a variety of attacks. It also had identical properties to a Gorem's shield that can take power away from his attackers when they make contact. Once the armor was equipped, Drago immediately regained control of the battle and cancelled all of the Pack's abilities as they hit him. He then engaged the three of them in close quarters, repelling all of their swipes and bites and pummeling them to oblivion. Drago yanked Abbadon to his side and swung him in the direction of a blast fired by Belphenoid. After allowing the Pyrus fiend to take the full force of the blast, Drago then hit Asmodeus in the head with Abbadon's body as he was approaching him, sending him flying directly towards Belphenoid. Abbadon was then launched towards them, and as he crashed into his brothers, they each hissed at Drago with extreme disgust and pain.

With all three members of the Pack stunned, Noland was prepared to end this fight so he could get to another, making Hydranoid's defeat his next priority once Nero was finished. "You were talking to me earlier as if you were the strongest brawler alive. What do you have to say to me now, Nero? I guess your dogs didn't have the same amount of power as the threats you've made against Drago and I. And you actually had the audacity to ever say that you take innocent lives to save others...you've got be kidding me." Noland valiantly held up his arm in front of him and said, "Ability activate! Rage Fire!" Drago ignited his right fist with a fierce, volcanic flame and punched the ground, causing the ground beneath the Pack to crumble and reveal a large, fiery pillar that would incinerate them quickly upon making substantial contact. "There's no escape route for you this time, Nero. It's over!" Noland exclaimed.

[Karen Valentine]

Just as Nero was about to be shamed by Noland and his Dragonoid, a voice came from the nearby walkway that kept it quick and simple by saying, "Dive Mirage." Pools of water appeared below the Pack to transport them a few yards back from the impact site. The ability's caster became more clear as Karen appeared out of the said walkway and stood next to Nero. "Thanks for waiting for me, dunderhead, Karen angrily stated to the villain. "Your entire plan would have been ruined in an instant had that attack actually hit them. You underestimate your opponents too much. I would hope your only reason for adopting me wasn't to think for you." Karen then turned her attention to her ex-boyfriend, and by the look on his face, he wasn't happy to see her; fortunately for him, neither was she. She then looked at who Nero held as prisoner, and once she saw Daniel chained and injured considerably, she couldn't hold back a smile seeing the most annoying boy she ever met being treated in this manner."It sucks when it happens to you, doesn't it, Daniel? Serves you right." She then swiftly kicked him in his groin in atonement for attacking her months ago.

She then turned her attention to the angered Noland and stated, "Do you hate me even more now, Noland? Am I even more of a disappointment to you now than I was before? Will you hurt me again even after the numerous times you've said you would always be there to protect me?" Karen then activated an ability on her BrawlX that allowed Elico to tap into his Haos powers and heal the Pack of their injuries just by touching them with his tentacles. "It's funny how love can turn into hate that fast... Karen said while holding the heart-shaped necklace she got from Noland for Christmas. "Even though I was actually helping you by keeping Kenny's condition in check, you still treated me that way. The words 'I love you' immediately turned into 'I hate you', and you tried to destroy me. That's really worthy of being a so-called 'hero'. Despite you feeling that way, I won't be giving up. If you can fight against me, I'll fight back."

[Daniel Andersen]

Even though Daniel was seriously hoping of seeing a fierce battle which was not very surprising taking his nature into the consideration, but this time he really had high hopes of seeing Nero dead and covered in blood. What bugged him the most was that if Noland was actually capable of winning the battle now that Hydranoid became much more powerful. If it was not enough for that nasty evolution of his, now Karen appeared as well seeking to annihilate Noland who apparently hurt her. But none of that mattered to Daniel who already had million things on his mind considering the tough situation he and his teammates were dealing with.
Even though Karen kicked him he didn't react since he didn't care about pain anymore; what was on his mind was just the death wish for Nero regardless of who delivered it.
When he heard Karen commenting Noland's behavior towards her he simply interrupted her.
"You claim you loved him and yet you attempt to kill him like he never meant anything to you. You don't ask him why he did what he did? You don't ask for a reason? It is very simple to conclude you never loved him, Karen. You are not capable of loving anyone because no one ever loved you; you are a human copy of Hydranoid. Your only purpose in the society is to be a toy; tool of destruction which obeys Nero like a little dog. Of all humans, you are the one I feel sorry for. You try to hide your pain, but you are just a damaged soul."
Kuzuha was still in a state of paralysis due to something that Nero did to her.
Still, she was able to observe the battlefield with curiosity. She didn't actually care much about Daniel's talk to Karen since the topic was not particularly interesting for her to listen. She was just waiting for a golden opportunity of escape, but her energy was not allowing her to do that at that moment. She just kept on staring at the battlefield and simply whispered to herself with an obvious irritation in her sigh: "...Humans..."

[Noland Hardy]

While disappointed that Elico averted the Pack's demise, Drago decided to voice his input on the matter despite originally not wanting to get involved in their bitter quarrel. "I never thought I would ever say this, but I completely agree with what he just said. You need some serious help," Drago stated to Karen about Daniel's comments. "The only thing you've done was play the victim in this entire situation. I'm not saying attacking you in that manner wasn't the wrong thing to do. It was never the right thing to do; however, you've committed a greater sin by holding your so-called 'boyfriend's' little brother hostage and would expect for him to just comply with it after nearly being killed by the kidnapper. If you were truly a sensible human being, your immediate reaction would have been to try and correct your mistakes, but you completely allied yourself with a Terrorist instead. You are an even greater villain than Nero is right now, and that's a tragic shame." Drago then analyzed his foe's ability closely after the technique was cast and snorted angrily at the girl for even allowing it to happen. "You'll regret what you just did sooner than you think, little girl. Those three have enough power to start an apocalypse, and you just revived them. It seems like there are more problems with you than just 'having your heart broken'."

Noland silently agreed with what Daniel and Drago were saying about her, but chose not to get too involved in that discussion since they already said what needed to be said. He shook his head in disbelief that any of this actually happened only to find out that what he should have known before was punching him in the face. "Karen...despite what you felt from my actions and heard from my words...I don't hate you. I'm just disappointed..." Noland began. "I'm disappointed that someone I spent so much time with would turn into something you said you'd never be. You set yourself up for failure the moment you even thought about me on a level higher than friendship. If you would have been honest with yourself and informed me that you were intending to use me for intel, then you would have been better off. If you're going to side with him and fight me, then do so. Don't waste any more of my time dwelling on that. It's done and over with. Nothing you say to me will change my mind about what I'm fighting for."

[Nero Bullock]

Nero gave Karen a sinister look as she appeared on the battlefield, and the look on his face gave the impression that he did not believe that she just spoke to him that way. "When parents decide to take away children's electronic devices, they act like they didn't do anything. I'll remember what you just said the next time you want something from me," Nero stated to Karen. He then patiently listened to the three teenagers discuss their usual problems that they have while being young and ignorant. This would mark the first time Karen would openly imply that she had feelings for Noland. He was actually happy to hear the frustration that was in her tone considering it was building up her bad girl image, which was something he wanted to maintain since the beginning due to the necessary antagonism needed for this assignment. After hearing Noland's clear disgust for the situation, he agreed with him in the event that this discussion needed to come to an end. "If you're done talking about your feelings, I have some news for all of you. There was no mistake in me almost being defeated just now. There's a reason why I held back; although, I thought Karen would get here sooner. I had to keep my nemesis occupied while the bulk of the dirty work is being done by Hydranoid elsewhere. Do you want to see something cool?"

Nero inputted a certain code on his BrawlX as the Pack regained the energy to stand. Their bodies began to vibrate violently as multiple copies of them started to step out of them and gain a physical form. This process continued until there were at least twenty clones of all three of them, which equaled sixty clones being created in a matter of seconds. "It turns out Drago was right. They do have the power to begin an apocalypse, Nero said jokingly. "Scatter." Upon Nero's command, the Pack spread out across Washington until the original three were left standing in front of Drago. "Would it scare you even more if I told you that the clones were capable of doing the same thing you just saw the originals do?" Nero asked his young rival. "I guess it's safe to say that there is no escape route for you, Noland. YOU are the one that's finished." The Pack then started to approach the Dragonoid in formation once again in preparation for their most important strategic victory yet.

[Daniel Andersen]

"Can your race be more weird than it already is? We're in the middle of a civil war and you are acting like a member of a comedy show. Humans can't even take war seriously?" Kuzuha yelled as she couldn't listen to Nero and Karen arguing like it was some family intervention. 
Daniel knew that he was on thin ice just by letting Kuzuha yowl like that, but he couldn't keep his amusement shut despite the tough situation on the battlefield.
"Did I hear him wrong, Kuzuha? Mostly, I see people threatening their subordinates to take their lives away if they don't obey, but I guess Nero made a new step; he will not buy Karen new phone or clothes anymore. Well, I guess that is worse than death to teenagers..."
Noland was in a tough situation. Thanks to something that Nero activated Pack was recovered to the last bit and if it was not worse enough it also cloned the whole pack making a nasty horde.
Daniel was ignoring that and said to himself: "Fascinating...Simple kid like Hardy is can be more serious in a battle than a grown-up like Nero. To Nero and Karen this is just a ride in the fun-park. They don't even take war seriously. Hmph...Humans actually might not be evil, but just brainless..."
"We might never understand." Kuzuha simply replied to Daniel as she observed Drago and the Pack waiting for the next round of their bloody death-match.

[Seiki Maki]

"Kuso."

Seiki's location was being swarmed by the three demons she had come to hate, seeing how one of them took away her second family. She was hiding behind one of the few buildings there were. They would conceal her location for now, hopefully long enough for her to think of some comeback to the pack's move.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT'S THE PACK APOCALYPSE! RUN FOR THE HILLS!"
"Urusai Ahio!"

The ventus attributed girl growls, catching her partner in one quick swoop to prevent her from flying off in panic. Seiki gave a sigh, "Keep it down. You're going to lure them over here and I won't have any time to think stuff through. Besides, we're the resistors in this problem. Backing down isn't really an option right now."

The said bakugan huffs in a somewhat childish manner, "Fine. But we're in some big... TROUBLE!" She screeches once again, this time popping out of that toy form oh hers and into her actual form.

Seiki had seen what her partner was screeching at and quickly hopped onto her back before taking off into the sky, but not too far from the ground. "That was a close one..." The bakugan chirps, keeping an eye on the pack clones from above, making sure that they weren't too close to be a major threat. Not like they were already are or anything.

"Very close. See, this is why you don't go screaming on a battlefield. The enemy will know of out location and use the surprise element against us." Seiki says grumpily, crossing her arms as she continued to talk. "Now I need to think of something else. Something that won't involve so much destruction, yet effective against our opponents."

With one hand, she holds onto Ahio's feathers. With the other, she was pulling out the cards so she could get an idea on what to do. "Lets see how much effort we need to place in to this fight." She murmurs, looking at the bird who nods, knowing what her partner ment. "Ability activate, Senbonzakura."

"Hai!" And with that said, Ahio sends down an uncountable amount of feather shaped blades down towards the pack, being careful not to destroy the surrounding area too much. When it comes to fighting in places with buildings and all, it's quite hard to avoid bombing anything at all.

"Even if they are clones, they still are pretty strong... There has to be a way to being them down!" She growls, narrowing her eyes at the sight pf the clouds that had kicked up from the storm of feather-knives.

[Nero Bullock]

Upon Nero's order, the Pack began to spread themselves out across the remainder of Washington D.C. and were making the necessary preparations before they would have to multiply again. In order to do so, they had to eliminate all of the remaining Bakugan in the area before they had the energy to allow them to do so. All that could be heard was the constant movement across buildings and the occasional stomping on the ground where either a brawler or a Bakugan was sighted. While they were taking care of their assigned duty, they became too distracted and allowed a Ventus Bakugan to bombard them with a surprise attack. As a result, a few members were suddenly dispatched without warning. A Belphenoid had recently traveled across the location, so when the attack began eliminating his brothers, he turned around without any hesitation to deal with the problem. "There you are, Ventus Resistor. We've all been very patient to finally see you again," Belphenoid stated in a creepy tone. "Between you and I, we could totally fit more people onto our meal plan now that there are so many of us. Great, insensitive inside joke, isn't it?"

Belphenoid howled briefly to summon another copy of each member of the Pack, making the amount of Bakugan in that specific area climb to six. The Belphenoid simultaneously attacked Ahio through saying, "Blizzard!" A darkus variation of a blizzard was launched from their mouths towards Ahio, which stunned the bird and made the flying conditions less manageable. At the same time, the Asmodeus wished to launch an anti-air attack. "Infernal Echo!" they screeched. They jumped high into the air above the stunned Ahio and unleashed a painfully loud screech towards the Ventus Bakugan that contained enough force to cause a powerful wave to be sent across their line of sights, shattering every breakable object in its path and forcing everything under its mercy into a state of agony that could only wish Asmodeus would shut his mouth. It was also powerful enough to push its intended targets back a considerable distance; in this case, they began pushing Ahio downwards into Abbadon's attack, which was declared through them saying, "Dragon Breath!" They coated the entire area with their continuous stream of fire that set the ground on fire. All it was waiting for was for the little girl and her Bakugan to be sent into their fiery graves.

[Seiki Maki]

She had highly underestimated the clones. Worst part was that they spoke of the incident and made more meal jokes. Belphenoid's Blizzard attack had stunned Ahio, along with Seiki who hugged her brawling partner in attempts to keep herself warm. Being in the cold air above was one thing, having snowballs chucked in your face was another.

Asmodeus' attack didn't make things any better. Instinctively, she slips on her headphones to save her hearing, for Ahio it was a different story. She was now completely paralyzed and now plummeting to the ground.

Wait, it wasn't a ground anymore. More like the type of flooring you would see when you fly over an active volcano, expect ten times worse. 'I'll need something to withstand the fire, and put an end to this.' Seiki says to herself mentally, sorting out everything she would do in the next few seconds. 'I wish it didn't have to come to this...'

"Quick Ahio! Ability Activate! Yobanashi Deceive!" Seiki shouts hastily, drawing the card out of her bag. "Abbadon!" Ahio was engulfed in a green light which switched to a red color. The two fell into the hungry flames, Ahio still covered in the light and Seiki's hand in her bag, ready for her next set of moves and praying that the said ability would help Ahio last a bit longer, just enough to stop the cloned pack members.

By the looks of it nothing had survived the devastating flames... Except for a faint voice, "Ability Activate, Blindfold Code."

What looks like another Abbadon clone comes running out of the flames with a battered up Seiki on its back, and then disappears in midair. "Ahio, we only have 5 minutes to do that. Asmodeus' Infernal Echo should have done the trick."

"Phhht, 5 minutes is plenty." The Abbadon says quietly, not wanting to give of her location. "Being Abbadon really helps. The fires didn't effect me as much, I have more strength than I did before, and I feel re-energized. Although I feel a bit heavy..."

"Then lets get a move on before they catch on." Seiki whispers as Ahio-Abbadon charges for one of the buildings which was unstable due to the Infernal Echo breaking apart most of the surroundings. "To the other one, quickly! We need to get out ASAP!"

Ahio cawed, hearing what she said loud and clear as she rams into the other nearby building. After that was done, Ahio makes a mad dash to get out of the collapsing buildings' way. "We need to get you to a doctor. I don't think that snow was too good for you... Or that fire. You might catch something."

"I'm fine Ahio, you managed to get me out of there in time. Maybe after the whole fight if you are that worried about a bit of snow and flame inhalation." Seiki says, brushing off the soot from her clothes and doing a rushed wipe to get most of it off of her face. "Right now, I have a feeling Noland is going to need some help. The clones were bad, imagine the originals," She says with a slight shiver.

"Aye!" Ahio turned back into her original form and took off for the skies, Seiki on her back clinging onto her feathers coughing slightly.

It didn't take long for Ahio to fly over to Noland's location. She landed swiftly and Seiki hops off, nothing too rash. The ventus resistor felt like she would break out into a coughing fit if she pushed herself a bit too much. "This is going to be fun... How have you been holding up Noland?"

[Tracy White]

Tracy's battle was just starting to come to a close with the Bakugan she healed rapidly cleaning up the remainder of the first wave until disaster struck. Out of nowhere, the Pack rushed across her area of control in a stampede. Tracy was literally dumbstruck at the idea of the three Bakugan that started this disaster becoming an entire army. Dealing with the original three was already too much of a hassle from past encounters; an entire multitude of them being taken on at once nearly made her consider the battle to be virtually impossible to win. "Noland...what is going on....?" Tracy murmured in a state of worry. She figured Noland's situation was very grim if the Pack were allowed to multiply in front of him. She hasn't heard from him in a long time either, making her even more worried. Just to make things worse, a loud boom was heard coming from a considerable distance away where two buildings collapsed. "This isn't good...there's so many of them..."

Skystar was very attentive to what the Pack was getting ready to do when they arrived. The demons did not give Tracy any opportunity to brainstorm any ideas for a possible counterattack and unleashed a storm of their best attacks. Fortunately for their entire fighting force, Tracy had already placed a gate card underneath them before the Pack's arrival. "Brace yourselves, everyone! Gate card, open! Redemption!" The card opened and covered Skystar and all of the revived Bakugan in a bright light. Due to the card's ability, the benefits from Divine Protection, a previously used ability, came back and blessed them with a continuous shield and healing agent from a phoenix avatar above their heads. It also allowed her to increase Skystar's power by every Bakugan's power level within range of the gate card. Because of this, she decided to draw inspiration of what Noland used during the first few days she was getting to know him. "I'm sure he won't mind if I borrow his technique," Tracy jokingly said with a smirk.

The energies of all of the Bakugan around her started to make their way towards Skystar, increasing the protectiveness and size of the shield and transforming the phoenix avatar into gargantuan size. Once this was done, Tracy placed an ability on her gauntlet to deal with as many members of the Pack as she could. "Ability activate! Starlight Breaker!" Skystar's staff transformed into a mace upon activation. The giant avatar suddenly infused itself onto the top portion of the weapon. Skystar's own Haos energy gathered there soon after, creating a very radiant mace crackling with a lot of energy. "You've had this one coming for a long time, Belphenoid!" Skystar yelled as she swiftly rushed forward and slammed her mace into the skulls of the Pack she encountered, causing a giant explosion to occur every time she hit them. To finish the attack, she reeled back and swung at the ground, which had enough force to knock all of the Pack off of their feet and send a few portions of the ground high into the air to at least cut the demons on their way back down.

"Quick, Sky! Noland might be in trouble. He might not be able to handle those three by himself!" Tracy shouted with explosions still being seen from a distant location. With that said, Skystar turned around to pick up Tracy, and then did her best to follow the strong force that was being emitted from their battle by flying high into the air using her boosters. She was high enough to not be detected by Asmodeus, who was eager to find any airborne targets to shoot down with his sound and lightning-based abilities. She then hovered over a location plentiful with overwhelming power going back and forth, and it was there that she knew she was at the right place. She descended only to find Dual Hydranoid standing his ground against Tank, Allen, and Markus. Noticing she was at the wrong location despite wanting to help them, she quickly left without being seen due to Noland not receiving adequate help in his situation. "Just so we're on the same page, Tank will never know that we were there," Tracy said to Skystar. She then found another place that was plentiful in conflict, and descended onto them. This time, it was the right location with Noland and Seiki in a fierce battle with both Nero and Karen. "Karen looks pretty upset...Noland, what did you do?"

[Noland Hardy]

Noland was locked in a stalemate against Nero and Karen after the fission was completed. Elico allowed the Pack to do all of the offensive attacks while he provided their defense. For this reason, Elico shifted between his Haos and Darkus forms to continuously aid them in both health and power. Noland quickly caught on to what Karen was doing and began going after Elico first, but Nero made sure he didn't succeed by abusing the Pack's incredible mobility to intercept every move. Noland was quickly being pushed into a corner until Seiki arrived. Her appearance actually relieved Noland a lot since he didn't know who was going to be targeted by the new horde. When she asked him how he was holding up, Noland's curious nature got the better of him after taking a good look at her. "Seiki...you don't look so good. What happened?" As soon as Noland said that, Drago decided to embarrass Noland a little by saying, "That's not how you said she looked when we were at Union Station." Noland blushed in embarrassment and tried to change the topic as fast as he could by saying, "So what's happening right now is Karen acting as a cleric for the Pack. Ahio is a very elusive Bakugan, so I need her to separate the Pack from Elico so I can take him out. As long as Elico is standing, we can't win."

This is exactly what they did. Seiki used abilities to forcefully separate the Pack from Elico so Drago can maximize his damage output. This appeared to go very well as they were successfully beginning to pressure Nero and Karen. Karen refused to allow their battle strategy to work and reverted back to Aquos to combine his power with Asmodeus. This caused a violent storm to erupt in that area that made it nearly impossible for both Ahio and Drago to be in the air, which allowed the Pack to exploit the Resistor's lack of sufficient mobility on the ground to regain control of the battle. The storm subsided shortly before Tracy touched down on the ground. When she asked Noland what happened to make Karen so upset, he gave an answer that was fitting for their current relationship status. "I think it's that time of the month again for her."

[Karen Valentine]

"Noland!!!" Karen shrieked as she started to become really angry and embarrassed at the same time. Elico then had a question pop up in his head after Noland made the comment since he heard about this sort of thing before. "That makes a lot of sense. I guess that's why you were complaining about Nero misplacing the heating pad on Sunday. I think that was the angriest you've ever been since I was around," Elico said while slightly amused. Karen's temper then flared up that her personal business was being exposed by her own Bakugan. She really wanted to step on Elico's tentacles just to pay him back for what he said and thinking it was funny, but she decided to calm herself down a bit only because he was needed in the battle. "I love you all. I really do," she lied, which was very noticeable in the false smile she had on her face. "The men always love to talk about it, but they never want to hear about it."

She then placed a very powerful ability on her BrawlX the moment she said that in order to bring the battle to a close. "Since we obviously have reached an impasse, Noland, I'll do you a quick favor and get out of your way, okay? Ability activate! Trick World!" Elico's tentacles swiftly injected the Resistor's Bakugan with a certain fluid that, when fully immersed into their bodies, distorts their vision greatly. It gets to the point where the victim will begin to see their surroundings in a different way as what was supposed to be the ground has just become the sky, and the sky had just become the ground. This process completely numbs the body and makes the victim incapable of performing attacks due to their worldview being completely different from reality. It also lowers their power to a really low number automatically, leaving them open to a vicious attack. "Belphenoid, he's all yours," Karen signaled.

[Nero Bullock]

"Great. Now I'm being brought into your childish banter? You think I have the ability to read her mind and know when it's coming? She acts like it's on all the time," Nero stated to Elico. Despite being slightly annoyed by Elico's comments, he was very impressed with how effective Trick World was in immobilizing the three Resistors. He was not aware of Elico possessing an ability that did this aside from the lethal toxins available to his Darkus form, so this was a nice surprise to catch his opponent's off guard for a clean hit. "I don't even know what else to say after going through an entire battle hearing them go back and forth with each other. I don't even remember Kristen and I having those type of arguments all the way up until...well..." Nero stopped himself from finishing the last sentence abruptly and decided to just finish the battle without looking back.

"Double ability activate! Gorgon's Gaze plus Wrath Reaper Laser!" Belphenoid, Asmodeus, and Abbadon's eyes shined with a dark purple color as they looked into the eyes of the incapacitated Bakugan. Once they did, they each began to turn to stone. As the process was beginning to freeze them up to their legs, Belphenoid then did a collaboration attack with his fellow brothers. He charged an energy blast using all three of their combined energy and then released it in a volley of laser blasts that traveled in all directions, destroying everything in the surrounding area and intending to severely injure the soon-to-be petrified Bakugan. "The Pack have spread their influence throughout the area and will soon be covering Maryland within the next fifteen minutes. Hydranoid has evolved and is whooping your other three friends without breaking a sweat. It's time to come to terms with your death warrants, Noland. You cannot stop the plague."

[Noland Hardy]

Noland was utterly shocked at the new ability Karen activated since he was not aware of Elico having access to a dangerous technique on that level. "I know this is a bad time to mention this, but...that was pretty cool," Noland commended. Of course, that was Noland's way of saying to his teammates that they were effectively screwed. To make it even worse, he was unaware of what the ability had actually done to Drago, Ahio, and Skystar, and they were completely dazed. Nero decided to worsen the blow by using an ability he hasn't seen since his first encounter with Belphenoid. All three of their Bakugan were turning into stone progressively due to their ability, then the Pack launched a laser attack that was destroying everything in sight. He hastily got down and pulled both Seiki and Tracy with him to avoid being shot.

"This is a really sad day for America..." Noland lamented as he uploaded an ability on his BrawlX. "Ability activate! Infernal Bind!" While in a constant state of confusion and transformation, Drago fired numerous lightning bolts from his wings towards the enemies and their blasts; however, that did not go completely well. Due to the Trick World, Drago's mind was completely out of whack and caused him to aim slightly incorrectly. While a bulk of the shots did hit their intended target, some went off-target and began doing what he wasn't supposed to do, which was destroying numerous buildings that were on the horizon. Unfortunately for Noland, a portion of the blast struck the shackles that were binding the Terrorists and blew the power, setting all three of them free. "I'm never going to live that one down if the others find out about this..." Noland regretted.

[Daniel Andersen]

Thanks to Drago's unfortunate blind attack several clones of the pack were turned to ashes and some were squashed by big rocks from the buildings. Thanks to that confusion ability Karen used on Resistors Drago accidentally released Terrorists from Nero. They quickly grabbed their Bakugans and ran behind debris of a near building which was once a market, but now only debris. 
They tried to figure out on how to get out of the area since running in open space or ruins was not an option without their Bakugans at full power. As they were trying to figure out the plan situaton was getting worse and they were running out of time and options for escape.
Daniel didn't want to waste any more of the time they didn't even have so he immediately started with action.
"Kuzuha, we don't have any more time. I need you to go to your monster form right this instant"
Kuzuha was already exhausted thanks to Nero's tricks, so the last thing she wanted to hear was that what Daniel just said. "I can't battle in this condition, Daniel, there is no way" she replied in fear of what might happen if she obeys or not. Daniel didn't immediately reply, but pointed at the dead body of one Belphenoid clone in the near which was probably killed by Drago's blind attack. "That's our ticket out of this place. You're not battling anyone, so move it this instant!" Daniel yelled at Kuzuha who finally decided to act after short hesitation. She jumped of Daniel's hand and transformd into monster form. Daniel then prepared to put an ability card in his gauntlet when he looked at the battlefeld and noticed that Resistors were in a hopeless situation with Nero and Karen. Daniel stopped there for a second and he quickly replaced that ability card with another one saying: "Well, the least we can do is to return the favor. Ability activate! Violet Heart!"
Kuzuha's last bits of power were united through that abilty and transferred to her Monk Wand. She then pointed her wand towards Drago who was still in his drunk state and yelled: "Don't say later that we left you here to die, Drago"
Violet energy stream formed into an arrow and flew towards Drago. It hit Drago and where it hit him a mystcal mark appeared making Drago glow in violet color and two streams from his body were released to hit Ahio and Skystar creating violet glow around them as well. A few seconds later Elico's poison was erased and it allowed Resistors' Bakugans to return to normal. "And now...Ability activated!
