Alana did something Allen would consider stupid by using pulse head to throttle up Prometheus to a even more dangerous power level. But before Allen could voice his complaint, Alana whisperer her plan into his ear. All he could do at that point was smile." If thats how you want to do it, im game." Allen flicked out three abilities this time, ready to commence with the craziness." Now heres where i get serious. Tripple ability activate. Kinesis barrier, reflector and advanced fusion Kinesis Dominator. Hope you like eating hammer."
Gorem brandished his hammer for the first two abilities. But rather than use barrier, as that might waste too much time, he skipped straight to reflector. Waiting until the flames got in swinging distance, Gorem collided the hammer head with the wave, cancelling it out. The hammer broke, but that was just fine, because Dominator was now active. Gorem now forged the energy hammer, then gave it one mighty swing. The weapon collided with Prometheus, causing hopefully more than minor damage.

Prometheus keeps getting hit by all these attacks. In all that mess Gorem did some serious damage, but there is a problem with that. Thanks to the Switch Code Prometheus keeps getting healed- at slow pace, but fast enough to be considered a dangerous factor. And damage that Gorem should normally have done was drastically reduced thanks to the combination he wields. "Heh... is that all?" Prometheus mocks Gorem who put quite a lot of strength into that mess that would turn a normal Bakugan into a stew. "Feel free to keep hitting, rock-pile. With two modes activated simultaneously I can endure this for long enough to destroy you." He insults Gorem. His statement on endurance is correct there- with those two modes active it will not be so simple to do damage that will flip the tables.
Energy begins to fill Prometheus's body all of a sudden. Golden streams of energy begin to form around Prometheus's body and his power level begins to increase very quickly. Golden marks Dante's electricity element represented through Haos attribute. Out of all three modes, Valiant Strive is the one with highest defensive and supportive capability, so this will increase Prometheus's survivability even more and potentially allow him to inflict debuffs and ailments on enemies. Also, Valiant Strive's primary attacks are sword-based, so Prometheus can effortlessly do massive damage such as penetrating Gorem's armor and defenses. "About time to activate..." Prometheus growls while his Valiant Strive is beginning with its activation. More and more power begins to mass inside his body and only seconds separate him from the power that will be unstoppable. |

Alana needed to put her plan into action now. She got what she wanted, so now she needed to deliver her end of the bargain. There wasn't a second to lose.
"Ha! You thought!" Hydranoid laughed. The Pulse Head ability kicked in just in time. Prometheus experienced a sudden - but incredibly drastic - decrease in power that made him feel very weak. Maintaining the Switch Code and the Third Layer with a body that was made frail put a lot of stress on his body, but that wasn't all. Hydranoid did this a total of three times to get a couple of reps on him before he wasn't able to maintain the level of endurance and healing factor those two forms brought to him.
This was Alana's deadly plan.
She understood that Prometheus was a hot-head from the beginning of his appearance, so it was obvious that he would have an issue seeing a move like this coming. By throttling his power level, Alana manipulated his ego enough to make him believe that he was all high and mighty. Too bad that he's no longer that way. With this amount of stress on his body, he'd be hard-pressed to get into the Valiant Strive mode in time before Gorem wrecks his face.
"Awwww. I'm so sorry. Was I supposed to let you finish that sentence?" Alana mockingly asked. "Your biggest weakness is that you have Helios in your DNA. If you just kept Drago and Dante, you'd have turned out just fine. I guess that's not your fault. Kyuki's a bigger idiot than you are for thinking you were going to get us with that."
Alana then smiled at Allen as she was ready for him to take out the trash. "He's all yours, buddy," she chimed.

Allen let out a whistle, surprised at the effect that pulse head had on prometheus. A once almost unbeatable bakugan was now probably as weak as a wormquake." Thanks for the assist. Ive got it from here." Allen assured the complete sucsses of thier master plan. He pulled out the ability that would be the end of Prometheus." Now i know exactly what to do with you. Ability activate, Tremor Lariat. Break him good Gorem."
"Roger that compadre." Gorem responded to his partners request. He then extended his arm, readying the attack. The one difference between this version and the non powered up one is that it had a dense energy surrounding the attacking arm. This was all it needed though, because it was like getting his by a grenade, rather than a rock. To sum it up, this version was way more devastating, and thats why it was the finisher. Gorem was intent on colliding with the artificial bakugan, ripping it in half with the force.
" since im feeling nice, ill tell you where you screwed up." Allen gave his opponent this one consolation. It was the least he could do for the giant pain in the butt." Pulse head lets hydranoid over there freely manipulate a power level to extreme highs or lows. Now we couldnt just lower your power, as you would valiant strive it back up and we would be at square one. But if Alana did it while strive was activating, you would be screwed. And so..."
"... you lose."

Sudden impact against Prometheus comes as an unpleasant surprise. His body is sent flying across the room and he drops Alex in the process. He does two front flips before colliding with a wall. Power of all three modes has vanished from his body and there is no chance he could activate them. And, apparently, it does not look like Prometheus will be doing ANY more attacks. His wings and left arm were torn of like a piece of paper and he is barely able to support himself with right arm. Even with that effort he cannot stand up.
"Grrr..." He growls in pain as he looks forward. He stares in disgust at two Resistor brawlers- ashamed that 'lower' forms of life have bested him.
Then suddenly he notices Dante and Alex stand near him and watch him with an obvious intent. He was not expecting anything less- after all, he would have done it to them if it was the other way around.
Before he is about to get his final punishment he turns to Dante and begins to speak. "Knight..." He speaks now with a different tone that seems to catch Dante's attention. "It's been such a long time... wish we could have met under different circumstances." Prometheus speaks now with a completely different tone and his color goes completely red... not like before where it was dark-purple. His tone is not so disturbingly evil like before. "I'm sorry... I tried to protect everyone, but... he got me... he defeated me... and turned me into his madness. Sealed my memories, forced me to kill..." Prometheus grieves remembering all the bad memories that say of what unfortunate past he had and what he was turned into.
"...Atlas... Nightwalker... all of them..." Prometheus continues.
"I desire no pity from you... just fulfill me one last wish."
He then gives Dante a serious and dark gaze. "You must not let any creation of his live..." He then lowers his head and gazes into the floor for a few seconds. "For our families' sake. For me." Prometheus mumbles.
"Please..."
"...kill... me..." |

Once Kyuki summoned three prototypes Dante knew what was up. It took him a while to recognize two other prototypes named Nightwalker and Atlas because of their body composition, but he immediately recognized Pyrus Rize Helios... Bakugan who holds name 'Prometheus'. With that he immediately realized that Nightwalker was Darkus Wraith Paladin and Atlas was Maximus Gorem. What these Bakugans and their original names represent carries a lot of weight in Vestroia and, especially, to those like Dante. After the Ancient War in Vestroia there were multiple sides fighting for what they desired- Dante and named Bakugans belonged to the side known as Valus Empire. An empire that was weakened by the war, but even then it urged to protect the innocent and weak caught up in all of that.
Dante was one of fifteen Guardians who were king's personal bodyguards. Among them were Rize Helios, Wraith Paladin and Maximus Gorem. Only Rize Helios could have called himself Dante's friend while other two were allies, but they respected one another very much and were loyal allies. It is a long story on what their lives were like, so that can be skipped. Dante and 4 other Guardians were called to escort the king to a decisive battle (another long story). Meanwhile, Rize Helios and several other Bakugans including these two were sent to protect the places that entire population of Valus called 'home', including Dante. Helios made a promise to Dante that he and other two would protect their home with their lives... and so they did.
Demoness Lillith got the best of the king and give of his followers. Considering Dante the weakest she did not even bother fighting him, but threw him into a dimensional portal trapping him in an ice prison for centuries. And towns those Bakugans swore to protect? They protected them even after king's death, for centuries. And then the 'Man in the Coat' took it all away... guardians have fallen- and with this... only Dante is left.
Dante gives a deep sigh... His home is gone after all. It was to be expected, but to believe Kyuki had such power... to defeat the Guardians... "Yes, this was a hell of a meeting..." Dante replies silently knowing what is about to come. "I failed the king... and yet I was allowed to live. Shameful loss- would have been better if Lillith killed me. You were fighting courageously to protect all we had left..." Dante says recalling the moments. He hoped he could have returned to his home in Vestroia one day to visit it, but it is probably all a ruin and everyone is probably dead. They were the last and they were turned into monsters. So much hope and memories... it is all gone. Dante recalls how he got the hold of it... Chaos Takeover... Lillith's demonic power. Another painful memory.
"You have suffered for far longer than I ever have..." Dante says.
Valiant Strive disappears and Dante is revealed standing in his base form without lance and shield. "You held your promise, Helios." Dante says and his body produces beams of blue light that surround Prometheus (Helios). "I swear... I shall keep mine." He says. Blue lights surround Prometheus until he becomes completely covered in them. Lights disappear and reveal him once more. He peacefully lies on the ground and with that this is where another great hero's story comes to an end.
"..." Alex says nothing to this. It is probably for the best if he does not.
He turns towards two Resistors. "Hey... good job, kids." "For a moment I thought it was over without my regular team, but you proved me wrong... Thanks for help and, again,... good job." He commends glad to see that it worked out. He did not expect it to be this way without his team, but it turned out well.
"I'm buying you a drink later. Hell, we'll take whole barrels." He says.
"Do not forget your sister- she is wounded." Dante reminds Alex of Lydia who has been suspiciously silent for this whole time. |

Neither of the three Bakugans appear to sense her presence. With the aid of three Generals, she had cleaned the streets and all areas around the Headquarters of the abominable infestation of Stigma, but missions is not over yet. While the creators of this utterly disgusting mayhem draw breath there is no safety for this or any world- for that sake the core of the problem must be removed as soon as opportunity arises. This is why she had come here- to spread the information to every breathing survivor inside the Headquarters and also to pay her dear subordinate a visit and give a few words on her behavior.
"Greetings." Her voice echoes through the silent abomination this room has become.
Her voice and tone are quite like a melody, but known to create discomfort to those who hear it. Admiral and strongest woman of Silver Knights, Asuka Izumo, descends along her long-year partner, (Iota Epsilon) Ares. What is an appropriate description for Ares? A giant knight clad in golden armor, wielding a lance and a scepter. On his back there is a circular sheath with 6 long swords inside it- each one representing one Attribute. On his head is a helmet reminding of dragon's head. Ares is a living armory among Bakugans- ability to spawn legendary and mythical equipment at will and use any class known in existence. Passive ability 'Unworldly' makes other Bakugans unable to feel his presence or power level since he 'does not exist'.
"Our orders have been disobeyed. Perhaps it is for the best..." Admiral speaks. She sees dead prototypes and realizes the situation.
"BT System is active." She informs coldly.
"Follow the Pyrus Resistor and my colleague. For your own good, do not disobey." She says with her melodic, but frightening tone.
Ares 'floats' across the ruins of the room scanning the environment. If there are more unwanted creatures inside the Headquarters he will know about it soon. Asuka remains on his shoulder during the process. After all this bloodshed she remains with the straight and careless face- as if none of this is happening at all. She reaches for her left pocket and shows a miniature tablet. After pressing the screen several times gauntlets of three brawlers blink release holographic projection of a red arrow. "Directions are uploaded to you with abilities. There are two abilities for each. If it comes to it- use them. Whether you think it is humiliating or not for your own power does not matter- lives are at stake." She informs with her cold and strict melodic tone. Abilities she provided are copies of Six Lost General's abilities and are not as strong- otherwise users would most-likely die.
Ares comes across Lydia. Girl is barely alive. Virus can inflict wounds that cannot be healed. At least not by standard norm. "Paradise Mercy." Asuka calls out. Ares rises his scepter on top of which golden and crimson flames form. They rise and surround the girl and her Bakugan. Fire burns her alive, but it does not ache or hurt- her body overrides the prevention and is returned to healthy state. "I cannot order a member of Eden on her mission- perhaps a favor in exchange for saving your life- Follow and aid them." Asuka says. It does sound like an order- after this she cannot decline. One time finally she returns her attention to everyone in the room and speaks: "Remind miss Zenovia to pay me a visit after this is over. Due to current circumstances and Triad altars being awakened I may not lend more aid than this. May the God be with you." She says as if it was some sort of apology. Cult of Triad began with their ridiculous activities again- this time all three altars are active. All they require is their key to be active. Kyuki attempted to destroy the Thantanos altar, but it was too late. Now it is Asuka's turn. |

As previously mentioned, Dante is back into his base form. Using Valiant Strive uses up energy as well, so it is best to save it for critical moments that are about to come and every minute of VS wasted will start showing consequences during the next usage. Unlike his father, Alex never really learned how to properly control Valiant Strive- he saw his father use it back in the day and he learned to use it the hard way. Even after four years of practice mastering Valiant Strive appears to be impossible for Alex- he sees it now in battle. Aside from that pile of useless information now going back to more important events. Upon seeing miss Izumo, Alex turns towards her and salutes the superior. He does not act so formally around Maria where he needs to salute her and talk formally in front of her- with Asuka it is completely different- her presence is gracious and terrifying at the same time and she does not take easy-going attitude of other people when it comes to serious situations. That is why Alex forces this formal behavior in front of her. As for Ares, Dante could not feel his presence- that creature, Bakugan or not, has some sort of power that makes it 'half-existent' and 'half-non-existent' at the same time.
"Will this day ever end...?" Alex complains in his head knowing outcome would not be good for him if that was said out loud. "Well, at least she cleaned the streets... one job less here." He tries to be optimistic. "...and she healed Lydia? Thought Virus prevented that."
Alex checks his gauntlet and sees the red arrow. Is that pointing towards Noland's current direction? He is probably going for the BT System as they speak. Along with the red arrow he notices 2 new card names on his gauntlet- something he has not seen before. There is a Subterra ability- Unchained Spirit and then a Haos Ability- Angelic Crystal. On first it says 'use upon transformation', on second it says 'use during team's critical state'. Probably more of those dangerous cards, but it would be cool to try them out. Even though it is weird to receive Subterra for Dante.
"Yes and thank you. I will get onto it right away." Alex replies agreeing to his superior's command. "While we do that I take it you will handle the summoning thing? I have faith in your success- we simply can't let them go through with it." Alex says referring to the Cult of Triad. If they awaken the Triad then... it's all over. Legendary Soldiers know how to stop the BT System- it will take effort, but they know something. However, Triad apparently existed far before Legendary Soldiers making it really hard to find good tactics and a way to seal them away as it was done before with the God's Tear. "If you got anything else you need from here be quick about it. Kid is strong, but he might need a little help this time." Alex refers to Noland. |

Hydranoid gasped when he saw those abilities uploaded to Alana's BrawlX. He was more disgusted at this than he was at Brian Black's Hydranoid. This was a whole new low.
"How dare you," he said. "You insult me with those!? You couldn't just let me recover from the embarrassment of having to use those things to bring Zero Hydranoid down. Now you've done it to me again... Oh, the shame!"
"Well...no one used it when Misfortune 13 came out," Alana cheerfully said to boost Hydranoid's mood.
"Doesn't matter," he barked. "I'll show you all. I'll tear that wig off of Dasia's head, and then you're going to give me the respect I deserve. I'm the terror of the world, not a child who needs help from them!"
"Let's go then, or we'll be erased before you ever get it," Alana urged. She looked at the gentlemen and nodded, showing that her and Hydranoid were ready to go.

Allen simply nodded after looking over the abilities given to him. Unlike Alana, whos pride would likely cause her to go rogue in a situation like this, he didnt care. Allen knew that if a silver knights admiral was asking them to help Noland, there had to be a good reason. And no better reason existed than the BT system, the device the admiral spoke of. A power capable of eliminating at least all bakugan on a planet if used at the right time.
"So let me get this straight. We have a psychopath who can control a hive of mindless soldiers in control of a possibly apocalyptic power. And the worlds only hope is 7 to 9 children and thier giant monster friends." Allen used some of his signature wit to unpack the situation. After he mulled it over for a second, all he could do was smile. A gleam of purpose entered his eyes. It was show up or go home time. And he had no intention to go home." Sounds like another tuesday night for us, eh Gorem?"
Gorem pounded his fists together, stepping forward until he was right behind Allen." Oh yeah. We gonna go beat some hurrian behind. Hope Noland doesnt get depressed that we came to back him up."
" not a chance. He's probably already expecting us and wondering where the hell we are. So without further adoo, lets go."

The noose tightens for planet Earth with every moment spent in squander instead of work. As bloody combat with Hurranians draws near there is yet another enemy at Earth's doorstep which requires attention of the organization. Unfortunately, aside from Silver Knights no one else alive can be asked to deal with disorder that Cult of the Triad left and with it brought a terrible curse upon the planet. Disarray caused by Hurranians, Chrono Elite and Kyuki allowed two sides to get hold of weapons of mass-destruction; Dasia with Bakugan Termination system and Cult of the Triad with the Three Altars of Triad. If situation was favorable Asuka would have divided Silver Knights to fight both threats simultaneously, but that is not the case hence one threat has to be dealt with with more priority than the other while other shall remain in hands of those who are able to handle it in their own way thanks to the assistance of Six Legendary Soldiers. Knights with powers irrelevant for fighting the cult are also assigned to assist in stopping Bakugan Termination System- Alex being one of those Knights.
In this anguished situation Asuka prioritizes joining forces for stopping the cult rather than targeting Hurranians. At the end of the day Bakugan Termination System has power known to many and many have knowledge on how to stop it- Dasia is yet not aware of how over her head she is thinking she can control such power and yet be quick enough to deal with so many powerful enemies that are coming her way. All calculations point towards her defeat. If Bakugan Termination System is fired Silver Knights aim to start emergency protocol to teleport Arch Priestess Kuzuha at the target point and open the Gate of Heavens. Meanwhile, three opponents that are soon to be summoned in Amazona, Sahara and Mariana Trench are three ancient creatures that embody one demonic whole- one evil god. Their existence reaches out to the ages far before existence of Six Legendary Soldiers and Bakugan Termination System hence there is no reliable knowledge on how three should be stopped and it is believed that Thantanos's abilities would allow three opponents to easily survive BT System's blast. This is the reason of prioritizing them as main targets.
"I can give you respect you deserve right now, mongrel." Ares speaks up to Hydranoid.
Golden translucent bubble surrounds Hydranoid like a cage. Holy lance, that lies in Ares's right hand, glows in golden color before it is replaced with a hammer. One aggressive swing towards the bubble sends the bubble and Hydranoid inside it through one of the holes on HQ's roof and far far away until Hydranoid comes out of their sight. It is presumably a direction where BT System should be along with Master Blaze and Six Legendary Soldiers. With that said Ares turns around and his lance comes back. He levitates again and puts Asuka on his right shoulder.
"That would be all. Best of luck." Asuka says like nothing happened with Hydranoid, salutes everyone politely and then she disappears along with Ares deeper into the building searching for survivors or potential threats before she takes route towards Sahara or Amazon. |

Two dimensional portals opened up on the surface, just above the hidden base's location. Two Bakugan came leaping out of it with haste. Hades and Apollonir were carrying their respective brawlers, but now they needed to add the world's population on their shoulders, because everyone was about to get assimilated.
Andrew looked at the sky above him. He could feel a bleak wind, almost as if he could predict how the Earth would look and feel once this is all over. The feeling of fear tried to run its way past Andrew's hair, but it went ignored. There was nothing to fear. Once the BT System fires, it won't matter what he's afraid of anymore. All he can do is to feel hope, even if it was little of it left.
"Vince, this might be your last opportunity," Andrew started off. "You could reverse the firing mechanism and eradicate them all right here, and right now. I can include Vestal in the line of fire at the cost of Hades. That's if...you have a better idea on how to deal with an outbreak this heavy."

Apollonir was automatically looking in the direction where Dasia and Diablo were. Andrew's comments didn't cause him to turn away. He was growling fiercely. Now he was absolutely ready to cause mayhem on Earth.
"...Tempting offer..." Apollonir spoke of Andrew's plea.
All Vince could do was stay silent. He didn't know what to think from that point. Was Andrew right in this situation? Was being a martyr the only way to stop these Hurranians once and for all?
"With that key and the BT System...Dasia is the most powerful being in our current times..." Apollonir admitted. "I don't care how we do it. We need to get those two items away from her NOW."
"With that being said, is it possible for us to combat her directly? Just the four of us," Vince inquired.
"To a limited extent," Apollonir began explaining. He began moving in the BT System's direction on foot, not caring if Andrew and Hades followed along. He expected them to do so. "I have a 10% chance of surviving if I engage that machine in battle by myself. Let me show you why."
Apollonir was seeing something that no one else was seeing. To confirm his suspicions, he was going to ask Andrew for a favor. "Use your 'skills' to locate Dasia. Hit her with a dimensional punch to slow her down. She's almost where she wants to be."

Andrew glared at Apollonir when he made this suggestion. It was a suggestion, because he's not going to start taking orders from him.
"Let it be known that I'm not going to ignore you just because we're all about to die," Andrew made clear before he walked right into a trap. He knew it had to be. There was a reason why Apollonir's request was made so soon after he was going to show how he can't reliably combat Dasia at this point.
"Ability activate! Spatial Transmission!" Hades opened a dimensional portal over his right arm. The other opening was behind where Dasia and the BT System were located. Hades delivered a very hard punch just to see what all the fuss was about.

The previous time where she was almost reached by Maria and her annoyingly overpowered Hydranoid, Dasia had cloaked herself, Diablo, and the BT System so they could avoid detection. Unfortunately, some people could still find out where she was. She could tell that a dimensional punch was on its way to colliding with the masterpiece she was riding, and the masterpiece that is none other than her beautiful face.
"Oh yeah. There you are. I thought you had gotten lost," Dasia commented on the arrival of Vince and Andrew to the battlefield. She did nothing against the punch, because she didn't have to. A burst of rainbow energy shot out from the impact Hades' fist made against some form of barrier. The particular arm that did it was disintegrated.
"Hm...I'm guessing that was a test to see if they could hit me," Dasia said out loud. "Oh well... I wish it was someone like that red-haired Admiral that touched the field... She's be the next one I'd be concerned about after the Legendary Soldiers and Drago. I'll get her later since she doesn't seem to want anything to do with me right now."
A tsunami of fire had erupted from the ground and was about to swallow a large portion of the city whole, in addition to Apollonir and Hades.
"It does seem awfully lonely up here. I wish Xavier was up here to share this with me...but then he'd push me away like he always does. Maybe the head scientist...yeah...hell to the no," Dasia continued to rant to herself.
