"Well, now that I think about it," I thought for a second. "There actually is a possibility that I have run into him. I wouldn't count on being able to figure out who, but I have often been in crowds trying to get somewhere. Grimm could've snuck into them and tailed me." I looked at Alice. "It might be possible that Grimm could know nearly everything about my day-to-day life. It wouldn't surprise me if he were to stalk me to learn more. But if that's the case, then" I thought for another moment. "I have an idea. Odds are you can pick him out of a crowd, right?" I pulled another device out of my pocket, this time with a green lens. I pressed it onto my forehead. "Yes, I know this looks silly." I took off the upper layer of the device, and tossed it on the ground. A holographic screen appeared in front of us. "Let's see here." I quickly selected times and dates, and images began to play. "This device is capable of delving into someone's mind, allowing them to actually show their memories. Tell me if you see anything interesting, such as Grimm." The images continued to play.

Alice points him out without fail five times in a row. She struggled on the sixth one for Grimm hid himself well. Grimm is pale with brown hair and brown eyes. Wearing a black hoodie. "Grimm stalked his bullies before in order to figure out the best routes to avoid them. It is kinda an squired skill. He also has the advantage of you never seeing his face. Oh hey look there is one right there talking to someone." That someone looking a lot Ivan being yelled at.

"ATOM I'M HERE!" I screamed. I brushed past the bully and met with Atom. We greeted each other and he filled me in on the details of the plan. "Alright sound like a plan." I responded. I turned to Alice. "Well hello who are you?"

"Ivan, before you get introduced to her, there is something major you need to know, and it's about me." I took a deep breath. "You know how I've said I only have an Alpha Gene and an Omega Gene?" I didn't wait for a response, and grabbed a small disc from my pocket. I flipped it up, and to crashed down with a dull thud. I brought up myself on the databank, and quickly pulled up my Gene Scan. Just like before, there was a Red Gene, a Yellow Gene and a Black Gene. "This is what I needed to tell you. I believe Grimm already knows this, so I need to tell my friends before he turns the truth on its head. So, here goes. No clue how you'll react, but," I took another deep breath. "I have three Genes. One Alpha, one Omega, and one Negative. I am one third Negative Shifter."

Alice stares blankly at the statement. "One third negative shifter. Is that a bad thing." Comically speaking smoke is coming out of her ears.

Ivan stared blankly at the statement comically. "I'm guessing yeah Grimm." I said. I turned to Atom. "Is that where that "Destruction" manifestation comes from?"

"That answer is slightly more complicated. Partially, yes. The Destruction can use me as a vessel, but only if I have no will to stop him. That's why when Grimm knocked me completely out he was able to come. It also has to do with my writer's three-way split mind, where each third is me, the Destruction or himself, but that's besides the point. Anyway, now that I've gotten that out, get your introductions with Alice out of the way quickly. I need to talk with someone really quick."I took a few paces away from them, and grabbed my communicator. "Syark, you there?"
"I'm here Atom." He said. "Order Energy is nearly ready. But you'll only have about twenty minutes before it starts to peter out, and then you'll only have five minutes before we lose it and can no longer project it onto you. Is that enough time?"
"Hopefully it is." I said.

"Hi my name is Alice Hallow." Alice greats Ivan with a beautiful smile. "This is Titania and Oberon my bakugan partners" The introduce themselve. "Finally we are on a mission to get to my brother Grimm Hallow." She states with enthusiasm that rivals Ivan's.

Ivan gave her a toothy smile. "Well it's nice to meet you Alice my names Ivan uhhhhh I'm not quite sure on my last name." Ivan said child-like. Alice smiled. "Oh and well here are just a few of my bakugan." Ivan said pulling out a box full. As Alice and Ivan chatted over bakugans and which ones were the coolest Atom was wrapping up his conversation.

"Thanks for the timing." I turned off the communicator, and walked back to Ivan and Alice. "Okay guys, we've got about twenty seconds before we're on a twenty five minute timer. Ivan, keep in mind what happened a few weeks ago with the whole Chaos Poisoning stuff. I don't want to have to go through that again. You need to keep a decent timer for how long we've been in there. Alice, you know Grimm better than either me or Ivan. Your goal is to make sure we have an educated guess as to what he'll throw at us so we can all react accordingly." A light flashed above. "My job is to keep us safe from anything in there that might be hazardous to a Shifter. And that should be coming down" I was bathed in a beam of light, "now." I grabbed onto Ivan and Alice. "Remember, our only goal is to find Reginas and bring him back. Try your best to be peaceful, but if you have to use brute force. Now, let's go." I pulled them into where the rift was, and we reappeared inside Grimm's white void. In front of us was a massive tree large enough to eclipse our entire view, aside from some areas to the left and right.

"Grimm made this." Alice stares with disbelief. "When did Grimm gain so much power."

“That’s the thing.” I said. “He didn’t gain this power. Supposedly, he created this using his Chaos Seed. I have no clue if it’s true or not, but that’s what I remember him referencing when I asked him about this place. Additionally, has a power amplifier in his mask. I’m not sure where he got it from, but he has it.” I looked around a bit. “That looks like our entrance.” I pointed at a glowing hole in the tree. “Shall we?” We started heading over to the supposed entrance.

When our three heros get get near the entrance the vines along the trunk start to shift. Then a dark portal opens and a hand reaches out Grabbing Ivan and pulling him in. Then a second one appears and grabs Alice. The portal closes. Then the one that the three where heading too a third hand pops out and snatches Atom and drags him in. Ivan wakes up in a isolation room. Atom wakes up in a dark void only able to see himself. Ivan's powers work, while Atom's don't. The three heros are split up and are at different parts of the tree.

"Hello?" I called out, looking around. "Ivan? Alice? Anybody?" Nothing. No echo, no light, just me. I instinctively shivered. "Great. Why did it have to be darkness?" One of my most irrational fears, darkness itself. Unable to see anything, hear anything, do anything. Being a Haos Brawler just amplified my fear, making it so I was always cautious around any darkness. But this, this was absurd. "Okay, I'm alone in complete darkness. At least I can see myself. Maybe I can brighten this place up a bit." I reached back and grabbed my sword. "Form Change! Haos!" My sword didn't change. "Huh? Form Change! Haos!" Still nothing. "Okay, what's going on?" I sheathed my sword again, and kept trying to look around. "There's no way that he would, he couldn't, right?" I looked down at my holsters, and saw that they were empty. "No." I reached into them, hoping my vision was failing me. None of my Bakugan were in place. "No. This, no. Why?" I looked at my hands, making sure my two symbols were still there. They were, but they weren't glowing. If anything, they looked like they were just there, like a tattoo. "This should be impossible." I reached into my pocket in an attempt to grab something, and sighed in relief as I could feel everything I had put in there. "Good. At least this ability wasn't shrouded." I grabbed my notebook, and pulled it out. I began flipping through it, going past all the schematics and designs I had come up with for different utility devices, and then got to a page with words on it. Some were in hieroglyphics, others were in English. "Okay, Cassie is far more proficient with this than I am, considering her training, but I think this should work." I flipped the page once more, and read the spell. "From mortal heads to the god's eye, obscure me until I see the sky." I felt the magic wash over me, luckily it wasn't blocked by whatever this darkness was doing. Grimm had probably designed it to prevent me from using my Shifter Abilities, not my innate abilities. I felt the spell complete, and looked over myself. "Good. I'm actually surprised this Glamour spell worked." I saw a spark shoot off in front of me, and heard a few more in other directions. "Okay, that's not good." I took a deep breath, and focused on the spell. The sparks stopped shooting off. "With luck, this'll trick Grimm into thinking I'm his sister." From the outside, I indeed looked like Alice. "Here's hoping."
My Bakugan were floating outside the tree, confused as to what just happened. "Did anybody see where Atom went?" Asked Slight.
"Not a clue." Said Pyreon. "But those hands," he shivered. "Those were creepy."
"Well, if we're still out here, then that means we can go in, right?" Asked Vladitor.
"We could." Said Leo. "Let's give it a shot." From the extra order energy they had gotten from the beam, they were able to move. They quickly went inside, and began to look around.
"If I was an insane boy, where would I put a captured Bakugan?" Asked Janthide.
"We must progress with caution." Warned Lars Lion. "We know nothing about what Grimm may have put in here."
"Agreed." Said Leo. "Don't leave anybody alone, got it?"
"Understood." My Bakugan began to look around cautiously.

“AHHHH!” I shrieked comically as I woke up. “Where am I?” I asked my self.
Ivan walked around but it was pointless he couldn’t see a thing. “Oh man this totally sucks I can’t see a thing in-“ Ivan was caught off by a cry of pain as he slammed into what seemed to be an invisible barrier.
“HEY!” I screamed at it. That’s when the light came. The light appeared revealing me to be in a wide white room. It was eerily empty. “HELLO!” I screamed. There was no echo. A few moments passed.
“Okay this is getting really weird.” “Huh?” I was interrupted in thought as one wall of the room slid up. What came out was horrifiying. A giant mechanical bull-like creature with the right arm of a lobster claw. “Oh man this is’nt good at all-hey wait a mintute.” I began looking at my right arm where my shifter symbol lied. “I’m a shifter now this is nothing!” I thought. “Form Change: Ventus!” As I called this command out a column of wind surrounded me and then bursted outwards revealing my new ventus attire. It was. Along light green cloak nothing too special to it aside from my eyes now being a dark green color.
“Take this!” I shouted. “Aero Dynamics!” I clutched my hands together and a swirling vortex of wind appeared in my palms. I launched it at the bull and it expanded into a net like shape and brushed straight through the machine.
Nothing happens but I was’nt worries. I gave a small smirk and the machine exploded becoming nothing. However my victory was short lived as I turned around seeing hundreds of the exaxt same creature emerge into the room. “Woah!”
