My face went blank with fear. "Just what could this special skill be?" I wondered to myself. "Well it doesn't matter." I said breaking the awkward silence. "Let's do this!" I proclaimed proudly.

[Atom]

I quickly handed over most of my Bakugan. As I handed over Pyreon, he questioned me. "Atom, are you sure?" He asked.
"If this is the only way to stop half the problem, then I'm willing to do whatever it takes." I replied. I finished handing them all over. "Grimm, referee please. Ivan, are you ready?" I put my Gauntlet on my arm. "We're using Gauntlets, okay?"

[uselessloserinfinty]

"That's fine." I said placing the one I forgot to return on my arm. "ehhh you mind?" I asked. Atom nodded. "Good good, so who gets the first gate?" I asked.

[Atom]

"Let's see what you can do. You can set the first Gate." My Attribute Wheel began to glow brightly, as did Leo. "Ready when you are."

[uselessloserinfinty]

"Hmmm lets see okay okay I'll start with this one my personal favorite of your bakugan." I said picking up a green colored ball. "Gate Card set! "Bakugan Brawl!" "Bakugan Stand!" Rise Ventus Janthide!" I watched as a glow light engulfed the battlefield before janthide appeared zipping around the battlefield. "Atom whats going on?" She asked. "Let me guess your thinking of making this kid a shifter aren't you?"

[Atom]

I smiled. "You're right on the money, Janthide. And you know what that means. But Ivan, I didn't give you all of my Bakugan just so that you could use them one at a time. You're going to need more than that. But," I grabbed Leo. "Bakugan, Brawl! Bakugan, Stand! Rise Haos Leonidas!" Leo rose, in front of Janthide.
"Let's just make sure things don't get too out of hand." He said. He and Janthide took off into the air.
"Ivan, I'm serious. You're going to need more than just Janthide. Send everybody out. You're going to need it."

[uselessloserinfinty]

"Oh right right!" "Bakugan(s) Brawl!" I said awkwardly. I launched the rest of his main bakugan, Slight, Vladiator, Pyreon, Reginas, and they all arose. "Bakugan Stand!" I said proudly. The bakugan summoned were all confused and some even angry. "How dare you Atom!" Reginas boomed. "Yeah I'm not so sure about this." Slight added. "Oh come on guys, this kid here he's a hero he saved me." Pyreon chimed in. The bakugan murmured among themselves. "Oh come on for the love of I've faced almost all of you in combat you've seen what I'm capable of." I added. "That's kinda why were upset." Vladiator added comically. "Oh you shut it Lythirus took you down before!" I barked comically.

[Atom]

"Guys, calm down." I said. "Remember what I told you about making more Shifters? This is Ivan's test of Creativity." Their expressions changed from surprised and angry to understanding.
"So, that's what's going on." Said Reginas, calming down. "Understood. We're ready." The others agreed.
"Okay. Ivan, get ready. This is going to be the most intense battle you've ever been in to date." My Attribute Wheel glowed, followed by me and Leonidas. "First, we'll go into Reversion." Me and Leo changed into our Reversion Forms. I took into the air, and hovered next to Leo. "Now, for the interesting part." My Attribute Wheel glowed brighter. "Attributic" I started.
"Split!" Finished Leo. We both glowed brightly as energy raced over us. Five shadows spread from each of us. They each took form into another Attribute form of each of us.
"It's about time we're used for something besides practice!" Said Aquos Atom.
"Agreed." Said Aquos Leo.
"You two put too much stock in actual combat." Argued Subterra Leo.
"No, you guys don't put enough into it!" Said Darkus Atom. I looked at Ivan.
"This is the use of Attributic Split. It's one of my Shifter Abilities. In a nutshell, it allows me to split Leo into all six of his Attribute Forms. Usually, that's all it does. But, since we're using Reversion, it also applies to us."
"You better be ready." Warned Leo. "Ivan, this is your test of Creativity! The final trial of becoming a Reality Shifter!"

[uselessloserinfinty]

I examined the scenario with utter shock. "How the heck do I beat up I'm finished!" I rambled on comically jumping around. (Imagine how someone would in anime). The bakugan at my control sighed with frustration. "Get a grip boy!" "Do you want to be a Reality Shifter or not?!" He boomed. I snapped back and got serious quickly. "Of course despite how impossible this situation seems." I said reaching for a card. "You ready Janthide!" I called looking at her. "You've always been my favorite of Atom 's bakugan your so unique." I complimented as I threw an ability card. "Ability Activate: Chaotic Winds!" Janthide zipped around before releasing a barrage of wind gusts that smacked each of the Leonodias. The wind was so strong it even affected all of the Atom's. Janthide stopped her attack and flew to my side. "Sorry Atom no hard feelings right?" She said. "Oh don;t worry Janthide he totally understands why you;ve got to beat him up a little." "Let's see how you counter?"

[Atom]

"All of you, just go as hard as you want." I said. "Remember, in Reversion, I'm just about as tough as an actual Bakugan."
"But now, it's time for us to show some of our power." Said Leo. I inserted a card into the Gauntlet.
"Ability Activate!" I called. "Darkness Shiner!" All of the clones began charging up, followed by me and Leo.
"This is gonna be fun!" Declared Pyrus Atom.
"You said it!" Agreed Darkus Atom.
"Focus on the task at hand." Said Ventus Leo.
"Jeez, all of you are so uncivilized." Agreed Ventus Atom.
"Everybody, stop bickering." I said. "Just fire the attack." Everybody nodded, and twelve beams of light were quickly sent at my Bakugan and Ivan. "Figure out how to get around it!"

[uselessloserinfinty]

"OH CRAP!" THOSE BEAMS ARE HUGE!" I screamed comically.
"Idiot do something!" Called Reginas.
"Use-" Vladiator began before being silenced by Reginas.
"No he must do this of his own accord." Reginas boasted.
Time was running out I quickly grabbed an ability.
"Ability Card Activate: Hydro Reflector!" I shouted.
The original Atom seemed pleased but as if he knew I wasn't going to be able to stop the attack with just THAT. Slight began to spin around creating a updraft of water that transformed into a dome-like shield that clashed with the united attack. However the attack was strong and it seemed to be a tug of war between who would win.
"Get around it?" I thought to myself. "But how?" I asked. "Wait a second I know!"
"Hurry boy whatever your going to do do it and fast I can't hold on much longer!" Slight called out. "Hang on buddy!" I chimed. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate. "I need to gain control of this water and fast." I thought. I took a deep breath and began to motion my hand in a circular motion the water began to expand becoming wider causing the attacking to go back quite a bit. Unfortunately due to the heat the water semee dot be evaporating as well. "I just need to hold out for a little longer." I said to myself. Moments and before too long after a long struggle the shield and attack dispersed and water pellets soared everywhere smacking the Leo and Atom clones and the bakugan at my command as well causing a sea of water to immerse upon the field. 

"Ohhhhh man." I groaned having recovered. I was tired my body was in immense pain. 
"You guys alright?" I asked. 
"You idiot!" Vladiator screamed. 
"You should have used Janthide's wind abilities." Pyreon said seriously but not rudely. 
"How pathetic." Reginas said. 
Slight just sighed. 
"Oh come on it was that bad?" I asked. 

[Atom]

"It's a start." I said. "But, it shows something interesting that I hadn't considered before. Ivan, what you just did should've been impossible. The thing about Reversion Abilities is that they're stronger than normal abilities. In fact, they usually can't be countered except by Reversion Abilities." I placed another card in my Gauntlet. "We'll just have to see what else you're capable of." I looked to my right. "Subterra, you're up!"
"On it!" Said Subterra Atom. He flew down.
"Ability Activate! Rock Shield!" Subterra Atom landed on the ground, and formed a large ball of rock. Then, he threw it up. It exploded into six individual pieces. One fell right back onto him, encasing him. The other five encased me and the other clones. Then, Subterra Leo followed suit, and did the same for the Leonidases. "This specialized armor will prevent our overall power from being decreased. Good luck with that!" Subterra Atom cracked his knuckles.
"Been waiting to do that for a long time!" He declared. "Ivan, I've been watching you. You seem to have all the makings of a Shifter, but do you have the will to be one?" He smiled. "I guess we'll put that to the test."

[Merchant]

Grimm at this point has had enough if Ivan's foolishness. "Halt judges call. Before you guys continue any further. Ivan first mistake. Energy manipulation requires concentration and action. What I saw was just sad. Here is some advice. When trying to attempt manipulation again think along side it with an action. Use not just your head but your body." Grimm call outs. "As for Atom. You are to attempt to draw out the hidden power. Beat it out of him if you have too. You may continue."

[uselessloserinfinty]

I chuckled inside. "Little do you know Atom it felt impossible, thanks to that little defensive maneuver I'm all out of power." I thought. "Damn it he was right this is tough." "And on top of it I've got a broken arm." I looked at the bakugan at my command who awaited my orders. "Can't let them know I'm tiring have to push through besides I just thought of something that might work." I pulled two cards."Get ready Pyreon, Janthide!" "Double Ability Activate: Subterra Negator plus Cyclone Fury!" Janthide took to the skies letting off a screech that pierced the air. Her fair winds began to flutter creating a powerful cyclone that threw Pyrus atom and Leo into the air. The two let out cries of help before slamming back into the ground Leo first followed by Atom. Pyreon then went into action absorbing all of the shields protecting Subterra Atom's allies. "How's that for willpower thanks to Subterra Negator your subterra abilities are worthless." I boasted proudly. This comment seemed to tick this Atom off as he cracked his knuckles and headed my way the others Atom holding him back comically. "OH YEAH YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME CHUMP COME AT ME?" I screamed comically.

[Merchant]

"That can only end so well." Grimm said sarcastically.

"Maybe we should have done this ourselves after all." Serperios goes on.

"Yeah no. If I were to go all out Atom will die, because of those chaos eaters." Grimm yells at Atom and Ivan. "Don't yourselves killed." Then goes back to Serperios. "Ivan is going to get himself killed."

"Agreed."
