Episode 37: Our Flame Is Greater Than Yours

[Noland Hardy]

Noland was not very pleased that Helios was not standing down. The results were pretty clear now. There was no way Helios could fire off another ability, not after a hit like that. This was over.

Noland was so confident in the brawl being in his favor that he didn't have to say anything. Drago knew exactly what to do. He was in way better shape than Helios was at the time, so walking was a definite possibility. When Drago closed the gap, all he had to do was tap Helios to topple the unbalanced dragon over on his back. Drago got on top of him to pin him down. The rest of it was simply brutal, the only manner of defeat that Damian understands.

Drago consecutively punched Helios. Each time he did, Drago increased the power of his strikes. For all the pain that this Bakugan has put him through, Drago felt obligated to do this, even though it pales in comparison to the damage Helios has done.

Drago delivered a message to Helios on his last six hits, the most devastating blows he had ever given to a Bakugan. "Don't...you...ever...challenge...me...again!" Drago made very clear. The last hit was more than necessary; it knocked Helios out cold. Helios returned to ball form and turned gray.

[Damian Knight]

Damian was speechless at what he just witnessed. The only battle that Helios ever lost was a battle against Damian himself when his now-deceased Bakugan literally gave its life to bring this Bakugan down. Now? Noland...the Master Blaze...and his partner...Drago...just...

...They just made Damian...lose...? Impossible... Impossible, Damian would say.

Damian's life gauge just decreased to zero. How does one even cause that to happen?

The more important question was how Damian was even going to face his peers after he has been defeated, letting everyone who would receive punishments feel the full brunt of them. He was also going to be a target too...

Damian grabbed Helios' ball form and immediately took off via dimensional travel. "Ebony..." he uttered before disappearing.

[Noland Hardy]

It was typical of Damian to not want any part of the music that was going to be blasting in his ear for finally being brought down. Noland didn't care. A win was a win, and that's all there was to it.

"Whew...we did it...we fucking did it..." Noland knelt down on the ground. He closed his eyes for a brief moment and took a deep breath. He could hardly believe it himself. Damian ACTUALLY lost. It was about damn time.

Drago had his usually reveling in victory. Everyone knew what he was about to do. As soon as the referee declared Noland and Drago the victors of the battle, Drago released a loud victory roar to assert his dominance. He can now safely take his seat as the greatest attack-based Bakugan on both worlds - definitely not including Apollonir in that list - and one of the most powerful Bakugan out there.

"Drago...thank you...thank you so much for this..."

"Half of that thanks goes out to you as well. You handled yourself well," Drago commended as he turned around to face his brawler.

[Alex Andersen]

And finally, hardest battle so far for this young man has ended.
He proved himself to be superior to Damian and Helios; duo that represented a huge threat to everyone with their reckless actions.
Most believed he was going against the odds, but no. He is much stronger than he used to be; he was not going against odds- odds were with him from the very beginning.

Alex smiles at the results; it was so pleasing seeing that victory.
Like seeing a perfect piece of a puzzle perfectly fitting into its place. "Good job, kid." He says silently and raises his hands putting the thumbs up for him.
Alex is glad that Noland just saved everyone else...well, theoretically... Kyuki will not lay out any punishment for Resistors if he happened to like the performance. On the other hand, negative thoughts cross Alex's mind...

"And Spartans... God have mercy on their souls..." Alex says silently as thinks of what will happen now that Spartans are unprotected ones in this conflict. Every single Spartan who lost the fight will be targeted and punishment in the way Kyuki plans it.
There is nothing much that can be done...
Silver Knights could step in and protect them; after all, everyone's lives matter. Whether it is a Resistor, Spartan or a completely neutral person. Spartans are not terrorists, so it could be done, but... considering they serve to Dasia and Xavier those two will probably do something about it anyway.

"And now..." Dante says. "...now we wait..." Alex finishes.

[Seiki Maki]

The female was overjoyed to see victory be own against Damian in such a manner. It may have been brutal, but at least it would ensure them that the Spartan Pyrus duo wouldn't be making a comeback anytime soon, hopefully.

She should have been jumping in the air and shouting cheers of celebration like the others were doing around here, but something just didn't tickle her right. Of course, Seiki didn't know what it was, but this was such an unusual feeling that she didn't simply brush it off. Maybe, to leave that unease at rest for the time being, she could fret over it later.

Ahio looks like she understood what her partner was so quite about, despite the victory. "Talk about it later?" The bird coos, looking at Seiki from the shoulder she sat on. The said girl nods in silence, and remains in that state for a moment.

"Yeah." And then they too went joined in the festivity on the win.

[Prof.Dr.Kyuki]

Kyuki watched this battle to the very end.
It was quite uncertain of which side would emerge victorious because of them both being very similar in terms of firepower. And apparently leader of Resistors emerged victorious in this one; he knocked out Helios with the last bit of power he had.
Leader of Spartans put his tail between his legs and ran away like a little tongue-flapping bitch that he is.
Only good out of him will be for Kyuki’s development of warriors thanks to the observation and data collected by Fina during these fights.


“Oh, children know how to fight after all…” Kyuki ‘compliments’??


He sees Fina walk away from the crowd with an odd machine. Neither Daniel or Keto have noticed her which means she escaped successfully with data from the battle.
Neither Resistors or Spartans are aware of the fact that their data have been taken for Kyuki’s research.


“Now I need to think…hmm…should I keep my promises or not?” Kyuki thinks. For him it is not important whether he does all atrocities to both sides regardless of results. After all, it is foolish to trust a terrorist. He did not organize this for personal amusement.
