Alice grabs Ivan's arm before he goes. "Nope. Not yet. Baths first the you hear me out later. I just want us to relax. NO ulterior motives. No plans. NO gaining power. No training. No nothing. Just soaking in hot spring water and getting massages from faeries. We all need to relax. I just want to help you guys. While you guys were away I was on Atom's computer. Thank you Clate. I manage to get in contact with you friends Atom. They wish you well. Oh and I was given this alpha gene thing, and was given a link that knocked me out. I took this really strange test. I passed but still strange. You will have to explain later. But please will the both of you just stop for one moment and focus on having fun. Just for once." Besides the info dump she sounds genuine.
Later the three arrive at the bath house. They get themselves checked in and head off.
While in one of the male baths Grimm and a dragon are enjoying the baths. "Ahhhhhhh. This feels so good." Grimm goes.
"I guess I can take a break from fighting if it means more of this." Goes Darkheart. Enjoying his food.

"Im serious." Ivan stated bluntly. "Now please let me go." It was obvious she was annoyed, but she complied and released her grip. Ivan turned his back. "Now.... HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUT OF HERE!" Ivab screamed comically.
He bounced around all over the place turning over items nearby vendors ontained in hopes of triggering soke kind of secret entrance. In the process he made a couple of people angry and an entire mob was hot on his tail. (Imagine a anime mob chasing somebody). Ivan screamed oit conically causing a stir of akighter amongst Atom and Alice.
"Hey what are yall laughing at!" A man hollers. "There that guys friends!" Another adds. "GET EM!" The mob screams in unison.
Alice and Atom gave each other looks and joined Ivan as they ran away leaving a trail of smoke behind them. After what felt like forever they managed to escape the angey mob while also stimbling upon a exit of some sort.
Ivan smiled his cheeky smile. "Well would you loik at that a way out!" Alice and Atom grabbed Ivan comically. "Let me go you two!" Ivan shouted back. (Imagine a anime arguemnt scene)
Ivan annoyed puffed up his cheeks. "ENOUGH!" He bellowed unleashing a cycline of wind from his mouth. Atom shielded Alice and when peace returned they sighed. They knew there was no stopping him at this point. "See what I mean you guys aren't taking me serious!" "I have to get stronger before its too late with Malcom back we all are in danger who knows what that guy is planning."

Alice 300% done with Ivan tantrum gets an idea. "Then brawl me. Not here but at the baths. They have an arena we can use. If I win. Not only do you got to do what I say. But if you win. That just proves that you aren't weak. I will let you go on your marry way and wont stop you. So how about it Ivan." Alice knows Ivan loves a good brawl. And there is a gamble on it too. The perfect bait for the guy.
Meanwhile during the events before Grimm arrived at the bath house. Ivan's idiocy nearly costed Grimm. Yet he is unaware that it was Ivan that caused all the ruckus. Or more likely is aware and is doing everything in his power to ignore the fool and pretend like he doesn't know him.

I looked at Clate. "You gave her my computer password?" "It was either that, or have her complain and sulk around in your apartment until we got back. Besides, how the heck was I supposed to know she'd figure out how to access all the programs you've made? Aren't they all password protected?" "All except one!" I said. "The Gene testing program that I was trying to make to make things easier for myself if I needed to give anybody else Permanent Genes, the one I had in alpha form, was left unlocked." I looked at Alice. "Whatever you found on my computer doesn't give Genes, it tests the user to see what kind of Gene they'd get IF they get a Gene. Also, there's no way you were able to get in contact with my friends. My computer might be powerful, but it's nowhere near the capabilities of transrealital communications. You probably found a recording I got a while ago from the Infinity Matrix. And that test was a joke site I found a while ago that blew out my speakers, twice." I looked at Ivan. "Ivan, trust me when I say you do need to discover who you are before you can know what kind of Shifter you are. And there is no such thing as becoming a true Reality Shifter. Look at me. You think I know everything about my abilities, that I don't need to continue honing my skills? There's only one reason I battle the way I do, and that's because I fought alongside the original Battle Brawlers. Dan forced me into the fight where I met Leo, and that's where it started. I admit, you may be lacking control and strength, but you MORE than make up for that in your determination. You still need to hone your skills, but so do I! It takes a lot of concentration for me to pull off Attributic Split, Energy Twist, Reversion. It took me several days to learn the BASICS of sword fighting from Link. Don't even mention anything about using a shield. And what about me using a Negative Gene and those abilities? I had to learn them on the fly. And last, but most certainly not least, I can channel Creation itself! It took me a long time fighting against Destruction to actually learn what the heck I was doing." I made him look at me. "Remember what I've said to you? Don't talk to me about hardships. I've faced more than you could probably imagine. Believe me when I say that not knowing what you're doing is the natural process. If you think you need to prove yourself, go right ahead." I let go of him. "It's not easy, I know. But you've GOTTA look past what you don't know. It's harder for me than it should be for you, believe me. I based all of my strategies in the Original Bakugan Reality around what I knew. The moment I didn't know what was going on, I could do less than a wet noodle." I shook my head. "If you're that adamant about leaving, then focus on where you want to go and just go. But I know you. You wouldn't give up over such a silly thing."

Despite wanting to branch off seeing his friends be there for him he began to reconsider. “It’s not that I’ve given up, I just need time alone to focus to make the most out of my strength and like you said to hone it.” “I haven’t given up I never said I gave up on the fight.” Ivan said smiling. “I plan on getting stronger, because what you don’t know is Malcom... Malcom just might bring upon us all the end of the world as we know it.”
Atom and Alice gave Ivan a “You keep rambling on about this Malcom person who is he?” Kind of a look. Ivan sighed. “Right you guys have no idea who that is.” “Believe me when I tell you, he’s nothing pleasant.. not anymore.”
It grew quiet. Ivan faces Alice. “I accept your challenge.” “However if I win you have to promise to let me go.” Ivan said.

Alice tells Ivan about the arena at the bath house. That is were they will battle. When the three enter two of the tree are surprised. The air is so clean and warm. The inviting feel and look of the place is amazing. Faeries flying about handling customers. A fairy named Hielodin guides the trio to their room where they get changed and head out. Alice separates from the group telling Ivan to meet here in an hour. Relax and prepare first by resting in the waters. Hielodin guides Ivan and Atom to one of the springs. Where they see a a dragon resting and Grimm in the water nearby it. The dragons scales look like metal armor.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh this feels so good." Grimm goes.
"I feel very relaxed. I could fa a a all asleep." Yawned the dragon. Little faeries can be seen giving the dragon a massage. The two are completely unaware of Ivan and Atom.

Ivans eyes expanded with joy as he examined the new setting. He quickly threw off his garments revealing a pair of swimming trunk. He was prepared for a swim due to the information given before hand.
"CANNON BALL!" He shouted as he did he leapt into the air and plunged into the waters of the spring waking both Grimm and his dragon.
Grimm and his bakugan were upset, to say the least. They both chased Ivan around in a comically way with Atom just gazing in annoyance. He too was drenched in water as he was one step to close when Ivan dived.

"Nope, not dealing with this." I said. I backed out of the room, heading back into the hallway. "Not dealing with Grimm." I walked around a bit, trying to get an understanding of where we were. Leonidas popped open. "I'm getting a bad feeling." He said. "Reginas, do you feel anything?" "I do." He popped open too. "Something's astray here." "Best check it out. Besides, it gets me away from Grimm." I continued walking, then looked at my Energy Twist Triangle. The dark symbol began to glow brightly, and I aimed it. I followed where it seemed strongest. "Whatever's going on, I'll figure it out."

"IVAN YOU IDIOT THIS HOT WATER! Get back here so I can strangle you!" Grimm slips and slides right into Ivan then the two slide into a wall. Grimm seizing the opportunity begins to comically strangle the guy and shake him. Grimm then throws him into a wall on the opposite end. Grimm walk back into the water to try and to relax.
"Can I rip him to shreds please." ask the dragon.
"No. Show restraint." Grimm goes to the dragon. Grimm telling something no they can't kill isn't new. But Ivan should have thought Grimm was actually going to kill him. Yet he didn't. "Know what I'm done. I will you back in the room." Grimm dries of a little and heads gets his robe on. The guy look depressed to say the least. He leaves, leaving Ivan with the dragon.
"Do anything to ruin the massage again and I will will you." threatens the dragon. But a fairy floats up to Ivan and scolds him. Telling him no jumping into the hot spring waters. The little guys is soaking. The little fairy gently levitates Ivan in the relaxing water where he can feel the pain just go away.
A little bit later. Grimm isn't paying attention. Nor is the guy in heading his way. As Grimm and Atom run right into each other. "God dammit. Okay who's bright idea was it to walk around with blindfolds." Grimm looks to see who he ran into only to see Atom. "Oh. It's you." He did not sound happy. Grimm just gets up and walks off. "That makes two idiots in the witching market. Two god bloody dammit." Grimm is walking away but Atom will notice something. At first the energy symbol doesn't then after Grimm rounds the corner it changes direction straight to Grimm. As though the energy symbol is following him. But is not aimed at him.

"After everything I did to avoid him, we run into each other." I sighed. "Well, that presence I've been feeling in following him. Guess I'd better follow too." I continued tracking the presence, following my Dark Symbol's glow. "Just gotta hope I don't get caught by Grimm. I still don't want to deal with him." "I'll go on ahead." Said Clate. He appeared in front of me. "If nothing else, he'll give me a few moments to explain if I get caught." "Good luck." Clate followed down the hallway faster, catching up slowly. I continued meandering, hoping that the direction would change before I came across Grimm again.

Much too Atom's dismay. Nothing changes, but Clate did get caught. Almost immediately too. A new record for Grimm. Clate explains things a little. Grimm sighs and begins to walk off. "Clate you can come to my room. And you too Atom. You look like a stalker." Grimm continues to walk for a bit then he reaches his room. He goes in inviting Clate and Atom. The room looks nice. But there are two beds. Somebody else walks in.
"Well well we have guest. Grimm Hallow. Contract No.1 will these two be helping you." A very buff werewolf sounded so casual but it all had this sense of foreboding.
"No they aren't Drake. They will be learning about contracts now though." Grimm gets some clothes and begins goes somewhere alone to change.
"Well he didn't give me your names so take that as a good sign. Have a seat." He goes to the viewable kitchen and prepares coffee. "Contracts are important to wizards and witches and others of their ilk. Think about it as a source of power. The more contracts a wizard has. The stronger they are. The deal for a contract is free access to a location and we act as mana banks. But in exchange the contractor has to give anything the contracted wants to them. Well almost anything but that is the rules. The one contracted keeps the contract. The only way to null them is to hand them to authorities. Even better you can't force somebody to give them up. It has to be willing. Grimm want any coffee."
"A shit ton of sugar and cream." He yells out.
"This time was that I wanted a buddy to hangout at the Fairy Baths. Enjoy things with company. How do you two take your coffee?" Then an explosion is heard. The whole building shakes.

"GRIMM HALLOW!" The wall to Grimm's room explodes open and Wu slams his foot right into Grimm's gut sending him flying into the door and far down the hall. Wu notices that there are others. "Oh do you guys know Grimm. Don't lie to me now. You all are in the same room.
The werewolf dashes to check up on Grimm. Only to be stopped by a gigantic hand. Taking him out of the picture but not killing him. "No helping him is allowed after all. Grimm Hallow dies here today."

Meanwhile.... Ivan had made amends with the dragon and the two were soaking up the warm waters of the spring together. Fairies surrounded them giving them treats and junk to feast upon.
"Ahhhh, this is the life, man, I guess Alice was right I needed this." Ivan sighs. He was no longer worried about going anywhere.
That all changed when he heard the sound of something falling, something BIG. The whole place shakes causing chaos. He honed in using his enhanced senses and locked on to the source of the shouts.
"Uh-oh that doesn't sound too good." Ivan said to himself. "And that voice it sounds os familiar."
The dragon continued to relax disregarding the disruption. The fairies were worried at this point. Ivan faced the dragon bakugan.
"You stay here and protect the fairies somethings going on." He then heads off headed towards the ruckus.
The dragon ignored Ivan's command and let out another sigh of relief.
"BRING ME CANDY!" He shouts comically. The fairies let out comedic cries of fear and zip around collecting nearby treats dumping them in the dragons mouth.
Ivan began to pant a she closed in on his destination. "This can't be good." He thought to himself.

Me and Clate immediately sprang up in front of the newcomer. "So, he returns." Said Clate. "Cusillu's brawler." "So, this is the new Negative Shifter Destruction hired?" I asked. "He doesn't seem nearly as bad as what I've seen in the past." "Be wary." Said Leo. "We don't know what he's capable of." "He also doesn't know what we're capable of." Countered Reginas. I looked at the man straight in the eye. "If you want to get to Grimm, you'll have to go through us." I proclaimed. "We may not be allies, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY is killed on my watch." Both me and Clate drew our swords. "And you can forget any advantage you have with your Negative Gene. My abilities counter them easily." My Energy Twist Triangle flared to life, signaling my power. "Also, you may have defeated me before, but it's going to take more than one hit to take me down again." Said Clate. We sized up Wu and waited for his response.

"You monkeys are right. . . . Nah. Cusillu." Wu goes pulling out his bo staff and knocking away the swords. Cusillu's hand passes through the walls and floors and slam into Atom and Clate.
"Fools know your place." The bath house is in a panic.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha. Silly monkeys. You can't stop me. Hahahahahahahahaha!" Wu gets blasted from nowhere. But it came from somewhere. Grimm's smoking hand says otherwise. "Hey you are supposed to be getting ready to die."
