On Equilibria... ( Equilibria) Tank and Gladion were on a grassy hill looking down at a majestic-looking castle. The dreary look of the planet's sky was enough to make Tank nauseous. It made it seem like the planet was full of edge-lords and nothing more. That's without mentioning the screeching noises that he kept hearing from inside of the castle. It was like the planet was full of demonic beings. Just before getting to where he was, Tank and Gladion spawned in a maze beneath the castle, the same one the Team Blaster of the Evoblast universe traversed. He was greeted by some shark-looking Bakugan that ended up evolving mid-battle. Of course, it goes without saying that Gladion royally kicked his ass, but he alerted the army in the process. He fought through the entirety of the Chaos Rulers to make it out of there. This is where he ended up after all of that. Now, Tyler Royerus - without knowing anything about Tank's motives - decided that he should be thrown in the deepest pit in the dungeon for what he did to the Chaos Rulers. So much for being peaceful when Xecarlos pretty much condemned his race for all of eternity. "I'm starting to feel like we take things too far sometimes..." Gladion thought. "What? THEY attacked US. That's exactly what they deserved," Tank asserted. "Yes, but... We don't know how to get out of here...""I'm sure we'll figure something out." "Like turning yourself into a woman to blend in with your surroundings?""...I thought we agreed not to talk about that!" "Hey! I heard him! He's over here!" Someone from the Equilibrian patrol squad shouted. "Get him!""Oh shit." Tank and Gladion started running in the opposite direction. Meanwhile...in outer space... The Dharaknoid and Naga have arrived to do exactly what the latter suggested: destroy Equilibria. "...What's going on down there...?" Dharak asked with some confusion. "...Hold on a minute..." Naga responded. He decided to go down to the surface to see what was going on. "Okay. I'm counting," Dharak reminded his partner. When Naga arrived on the planet, he landed right in front of the Equilibrian patrols. They all stopped in front of him to figure out who it was. Naga had to wait in awkward silence for about five seconds before someone finally realized what was going on. "Is...is that...Naga!?""He's supposed to be dead!""He's probably here to destroy us!""...Are you going to attack me...?' Naga wondered. "...We...don't know?""Are you evil?""No. I'm a very nice Bakugan.""Are you here to blow us up?""Nope. I would never do such a thing.""...""...""...Someone call the King.""Oh, come on. Do I really look that villainous?"...You really don't see it?""For fucks sake..."

Dharak was getting very impatient out in space, so he decided to land on the surface as well. When he did, he saw that the Equilibrians 'detained' Naga until the King got over there.
"Well what the hell is going on here?" Dharak asked.
"Oh no! It's him!" the patrol screamed.
"They've never seen us before. They think we're the same ones who...you know," Naga clarified.
"Please! Listen! I'm the original Dharaknoid!"
"...Really?"
"Yes! Really!"
"...Eh...I don't believe you."
"And why is that?"
"Because that's bloody impossible!"
"I dunno... I mean, Xecarlos was around for a very long time before he died..."
"Aren't you usually able to feel some power coming from Bakugan? There's nothing coming out of this Dharak...or the Naga... I don't remember anything coming from Glaxicortroid when he was still around either, and he claimed to be the third original Bakugan..."
"Which is bullshit, by the way. He was a complete waste of space and should've killed himself a long time ago."
"...I think he's telling the truth, man..."
"Come on, guys. Any Dharak that looks like this could claim he's the actual Dharaknoid."
"And how many have done that?"
"...None..."
"...Um...I'm scared..."
Tank and Gladion noticed some beings showing up from outer space, so they ran back to where they were and discovered two hulking monstrosities. Gladion immediately went into his monster form, because these two were bad news wherever they went.
"Dharak!" Gladion called in a threatening manner.
"Who's that?" Dharak turned around and noticed the Aquos Legendary Soldier being somewhere he had no business being at. "How did you get here?"
"What's it to you?"
"What else!? You're not supposed to be here!"
"Are you here to waste these guys? Because if you are, can it wait until I get out of here?"
"And you really think I'd allow that after you came up in here to speak to me like this? You can die along with the rest of them!"
"You tried to destroy us earlier! I'll talk to you however I fucking want!"
"That was years ago! How are you still holding a grudge for that!?"
"Um...Mr. Dharaknoid...did you just say we're about to die?"
"What? Oh, no, no, no. I didn't say that. I didn't come here to move your planet out of this universe to blow you up." There was complete silence from everyone in the surrounding area after he said that. "I said I wasn't..."
"...You couldn't wait to say it...could you?" Naga sighed.
"Ah well. Yes, everything you heard is right. You're all gonna die."

"But why!? We didn't do anything!"
"Xecarlos was killed! We're not like that anymore!"
"Who's that?" Tank wondered, because he had no fucking idea what they were talking about.
"Xecarlos was a madman that used to terrorize the universe...basically," Naga kept short. "Still, his death is irrelevant. You see, this planet has been universe hopping for far too long and has greatly contributed to the Collision. Additionally, there are people here trafficking your people in an attempt to harvest your latent chaos energy. They are attempting to make something far beyond the potential of Chaosmode Extreme."
"Again...what is that?"
"Did you come across some people that evolved their Bakugan mid-battle?"
"Yeah."
"That's Transformation Chaosmode."
"Ohhhhhh..."
"These motherfuckers stole it from a different Earth and then used it to weaponize their own chaos energy. Now, they're planning on developing an even more powerful variant of it so they can resume taking over the universe."
"Still think you went too far, Gladion?"
"Apparently, we didn't do enough."
"Okay, no. We didn't do anything like that!"
"Lie again."
"Okay...that's it. Wait until the king gets here! You'll all be done for then!"
"Don't think that's gonna happen, buddy."
"Why not!?"
"Two reasons. One, this human and his warrior Bakugan is stronger than your king. Tyler will only be able to compete with him with Transformation Chaosmode Extreme, but even then, that's only for Gladion's initial level of power until he gets serious. Two, your king is dead."
"...I'm sorry...what...?"
"When you snitched on Naga for being on your planet, Tyler's right hand, Lucio, became corrupted after the Worton in this universe began tampering with your chaos power. This allowed the Betadron of this universe to go back to his old ways and plan an usurpation of the throne so he could become the next Xecarlos and resume the same old game this planet has been playing for centuries. It's going on as we speak."
"So let's say all of that is true. How did you predict all of that?"
"Because we told them." This elegant-sounding voice came from Wavern who had just arrived right behind the patrol. Of course, joining her was Genesis Dragonoid himself.
"...Oh no..."
"Oh yes!" Genesis exclaimed. "How many chances did I give you guys? Huh? You had me fight my brother for this!?"
"Brother!? Oh my God...no! No, please!"
"... I've never seen him this pissed before..." Tank gulped.
"So...um...Wavern...we're here... Trying to get off this planet before you all blow it to kingdom come..." After Gladion said that, Wavern began to communicate with him and Tank telepathically so they could hear what she has to say without Dharak and Naga interfering.
"If someone were to defeat Lucio and Lara before this planet is wiped out, then Dharak and Naga will not have the authorization to outright destroy the planet."
"Are you asking me to put them out of their misery?"
"You COULD, in theory, defeat them while I could round up any other conspirators, and then they'll be the ones who are wiped out. Genesis will then be authorized to bring Tyler Royerus back from the dead since his life actually determines the direction this planet goes. This is optional though. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but I would be really grateful if you did."
"What's in it for us if we do this?"
"Well...what do you want? Didn't you already cheat to win the lottery?"
"..."
"Can you just warp all of us back to Earth? And I mean, ALL of us."
"Okay."
"Alright... I'll do it..."

While Tank was about to get in a tussle with the Equilibrians... Noland, Markus, Kendrick, and Rafe have arrived on Neathia from the portal Gargulion opened on Gundalia. ( Neathian Castle) The party arrived just outside of the Neathian capital. Before Markus could make a comment on how he spawned everyone in a safe place this time, he was distracted by the beauty of the Neathian architecture. Every object was pretty much chrome, but the lack of a difference in color and materials was made up for how beautiful it was with the sun's rays reflecting off of it. "So this is it, huh? This looks wayyyy better than Gundalia," Markus thought. "What do you do to get a place to look this nice...?"

"A lot of care and money," Rafe replied with a laugh. "Of course, Neathia's buildings always looked nice, but with the Gundalians owing us money from the war, we thought we'd treat ourselves. I have to admit, it looks a lot nicer from here than it does on the inside.
"I'd love to show you around, but... You've got people you're looking for, so I shouldn't waste your time with that. Maybe some other time...if that's okay?"
"The Princess or the Queen would be honored to meet the two of you for bringing us back here," Wolfurio assured them. "In fact...someone's coming now. Try not to make any sudden movements. She's a little antsy right now..."
"And uh...try not to get too mesmerized by her looks, alright?"

A woman came outside of a transparent and ripply barrier to greet her guests. Indeed, she was a very pretty lady. She was an attractive woman with a very well-built body, and to top it all off, she was wearing the most elegant jewelry that one could find on Neathia.
The only thing that wasn't that pristine was her clothing. She was dressed in the women's uniform for the Castle Knights. She had a long sleeve top and form fitting pants. A Haos symbol was etched on her chest to show that she was a Haos brawler, and a darn good one too.
Without saying a word, she glomped Rafe, nearly choking him to death with how much force she was unintentionally putting into the hug.
"I don't know what we would've done if we lost you..." she sighed. "I'm so glad you're okay..." She let him live by letting him go. Now she had to greet the people responsible for getting him back here. She was about to say something, but the first one she got a look at was Noland. Upon seeing him, she froze.

"Yeah...it's good to be back, Princess," Rafe said as he was coughing uncontrollably. "Oh man... I have to admit. I missed that...not in a weird way..."
Rafe saw Fabia looking at Noland in shock. Now was as good of a time to introduce these young men.
"These are the kind folk that brought me back here. Kendrick, Noland, and Markus from Earth," he introduced. "And gentlemen, this is Fabia, Neathia's princess and the General of the Castle Knights."
"She's a huge fan of your work, Noland. A HUGE fan," Wolfurio warned him.

At long last, Fabia was able to lay eyes on the person responsible for bringing that nightmarish war to an end. She really wanted to hug him nonstop for a day or two. He has no idea what his actions have done for her and everyone else on Neathia. The only thing stopping her was that they were strangers and it would be weird to do such a thing.
"...Oh my...I know this silence from me is a bit awkward. I'm so sorry. It's just... You've done so much for me and the people of Neathia. You just have no idea..." Fabia digressed. She was about to get emotional, but she kept herself in check...for now anyway.
"It's very nice to meet you all. I'm sorry if you were put through any trouble by rescuing Rafe. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Oh, wait, I remember there was someone from Earth that showed up here recently. Does the name 'Tracy' sound familiar to any of you?"

"...So you've seen her?" Markus gasped. He was obviously glad to hear that she was on the planet. The people that looked like Gundalians must have been the Neathians then. Of course, both Rafe and Fabia look like humans right now, so that was a bit iffy; however, if they know who Tracy is, then that must mean Tracy is around. She wouldn't leave the planet if she didn't know where she was or how to get back to Earth. At least...that's what Markus believes.
"Excuse me. Are there plant people on this planet?" Gargulion asked.
"Yes, there are plant people. Why?" Wolfurio wondered.
"...Nero's here too..."
"Was there anyone with a mechanical hydra here causing people trouble?"

"A mechanical hydra? I'm sure we'd remember something that odd if we saw one..." Fabia thought. "But, what I can say is that Tracy was here some time ago, but she insisted on leaving, because someone was pinging her brawling device. I'm guessing there was someone here that wanted her to find him or her. This 'Nero' person must also be from Earth then...or it could be something else."
"In case it wasn't a friendly contact, I do have someone following her to check on the situation. They are among the best on Neathia, so she's in good hands."
"The plant people in question are very territorial, so if there's anyone over there, it is very likely that something happened. If you do go over there, please don't hurt any of them. They're not warlike or anything, so there's no need to hurt or kill them over this misunderstanding."

"I'd be more worried about Nero doing that than us," Noland warned the princess. "Actually...I'm sure you all would've been aware of mass deaths from wherever they're located if Nero had actually done something, so either he's not Nero or something happened to him."
"This shouldn't take long then if they're not pissed off," Drago claimed. "Do they chase?"
"They LOVE doing that to invaders," Wolfurio answered. "And they're carnivores for some odd reason...and they're man-eaters..."
"...I'm not even going to ask why they're still here... Let's just get this over with..."

Post by Andrew Bullock on Jan 3, 2019 4:13:03 GMT -5
Andrew was strapped to a wall inside of an unknown underground structure. There were thorns on the ground near him, so if he ever wiggled out, he'd have to contend with those. And if he made it through those, the man-eating flytraps from earlier were gazing upon him near the thorny grounds of death. What a lovely situation.
There were a couple of humanoid figures who were all clad in leather clothing and were masked. All of them had pointy spears. The one in the center had blood dripping from the tip. What that means for Andrew is anyone's guess, but it was clear that these people were savage barbarians who deserved nothing less than the worst possible outcome.
"Tell us... Why have you invaded our territory?" the leader asked him.
"I didn't invade anything, you idiot. For the last fucking time, this is where I popped up after all of that shaking! I had no control over it!" Andrew stated. "You have one more time to ask me that before I jump down there and show you what an invasion feels like!"
"You speak of something that is impossible. How could a quake send you all the way here?"
"I. Don't. Know!"
"Which is exactly why it's a lie."
"You know... I have been trying REALLY HARD not to just shoot this place up... I really have... I'm getting very close to not giving a fuck anymore..."

Before Andrew could go off, a dimensional portal opened in front of him. A bident was then seen cutting off all of the restraints on Andrew, and then a hand yanked him inside to get him out. This act caused the leader and his subjects to let out a war cry. So much for them not being warlike.
The ones responsible for that was Tracy and Skystar who had reacquired Hades off of the plant people. There were dozens of them lying on the ground in unconscious states.
"THAT...was a lot easier than I expected," Skystar commented on the whole operation. "These guys are going to be really upset when they wake up... I suggest we leave..."
"Or...you could answer some more questions, Nero?" Tracy suggested with a smirk on her face.

"Tsk...if I have to hear one more sound from those bastards..." Andrew was clearly in the mindset to kill every last one of them, but now that Tracy and Skystar are here, he'd obviously be met with some opposition if he tried it.
"Wait...how long did you know I was down there? Did you let them question me just to piss me off?" It would seem like Tracy picked up some bad habits from Noland and Markus who coincidentally arrived on the planet not too long ago, not that any of them know that.
"You know what... Not gonna complain. Thank you... Now, I'd like to get out of here before I get eaten or have to kill someone. I'm supposed to be on a 'fast' according to Montai. If I kill anyone, she might leave me..."

"I heard about that... She forced you to have that kill counter on your BrawlX, because you blew up ANOTHER army base?" Tracy remembered, snickering in the process. "You and Noland are living dangerously right now. I'd stop if I were you two."
"Um..." Skystar hummed.
"Right, we need to get out of here. Skystar, take us home, please." On cue with Tracy's order, a comet burst out from underground and soared out of the jungle. Mission accomplished, right?
The only problem with that was...that all seemed too easy... Way too easy...
