Bakugan Battle Brawlers

Season 1 Dan's life changes one day when strange cards fall out of the sky and he grabs one, which he and his childhood best friend Shun use to invent a game they call "Bakugan." They form a group called the "Bakugan Battle Brawlers" with their friends and are dragged into fighting for the fate of Vestroia, the Bakugans' home dimension. Vestroia loses its natural balance and merges with Earth and many other worlds. Naga, a rogue Bakugan, seeks the power of the Infinity and Silent Cores, which together formed the Perfect Core that balanced Vestroia, for himself. However, Naga has absorbed too much negative energy and been trapped within the Silent Core, destabilizing Vestroia. Naga now seeks the mighty Infinity Core so that he can complete the all-powerful Perfect Core and have absolute control over Earth and Vestroia. Season 2: Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia Three years have passed since the Brawlers defeated Naga and bid farewell to the Bakugan. Drago sacrificed his physical body to become the new Perfect Core, uniting the Bakugan's fractured homeworld and forming New Vestroia. However, aliens known as the Vestals arrive on New Vestroia and begin colonizing it, unaware that the Bakugan are intelligent beings. The Bakugan are returned to their primitive ball forms. Upon the defeat of Tigrerra, the last of the Fighting Bakugan of the Battle Brawlers, Drago is freed from his role as the Core of Vestroia. He is given a weaker, temporary body by the six Ancient Warrior Bakugan and once again seeks the help of Dan to help save his homeworld. However, he chooses to leave behind the Battle Brawlers, except for Alice and Shun, out of concern for their safety. Despite this, Marucho leaves Runo and Julie behind to follow after him. Upon arriving at New Vestroia, Dan and Marucho encounter Mira, Ace, and Baron, Vestals who are members of the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance. Along the way, the brawlers reunite with Shun, who also joins the Resistance. While battling against the evil Vexos, Vestal's top brawlers and servants of the Vestal royal family, the Resistance destroy the three Dimension Controllers that keep the Bakugan in their ball form, liberating New Vestroia. The Brawlers return to Earth, with the rest of the resistance returning home to Vestal. They reassemble six months later upon learning that King Zenoheld of Vestal attacked the Six Ancient Warriors in an attempt to steal their Attribute Energies. The Six Ancient Warriors engaged in battle with Zenoheld, but were unable to defeat his Mechanical Bakugan, Farbros. In desperation, the Ancient Warriors give the Resistance Bakugan their attribute energies to protect them from Zenoheld. Zenoheld reveals the Bakugan Termination System, a machine built to wipe out all Bakugan that requires the Attribute Energies now held by the Resistance's Bakugan to power it. These energies result in the six Bakugan evolving. After losing half the energies, the Brawlers decide to attack instead, entering a temporary alliance with Spectra Phantom, the former leader of the Vexos, and his sidekick Gus Grav. However, the remaining energies are taken as the result of a trap field, and the Brawlers head to New Vestroia to evacuate the Bakugan. Drago, refusing to give up, manages to destroy the BT System by absorbing the six Attribute Energies, evolving again into Helix Dragonoid. Spectra resurfaces to battle Dan; upon losing, he concedes that Drago is the strongest Bakugan and joins the Brawlers, returning to his original self, Keith Fermin. Keith reveals that Zenoheld is working on a powerful weapon called the Alternative System and helps construct Battle Gear for Drago. Meanwhile, the Vexos begin crumbling from within as Volt and Lync revolt after feeling that Zenoheld has crossed the line, but are disposed of by Prince Hydron. In the final battle, the Brawlers, Spectra, and Gus manage to destroy the Alternative System, ending Zenoheld for good. With the Alternative crisis over, Dan, Shun, and Marucho bid farewell to the Resistance and return to Earth. Weeks later, the trio is greeted by Ren Krawler, a Darkus Brawler from Gundalia. Season 3: Gundalian Invaders After defeating Zenoheld, the Brawlers return to Earth and, with the help of the newcomer Ren, restore Bakugan Interspace. However, Ren is not what he seems, and he reveals that he is a Gundalian whose home planet, Gundalia, is under attack by Neathia. Shun is not convinced and discovers that Ren is lying once Princess Fabia proves his story wrong. It is revealed that Neathia is under attack by Gundalians under the command of Barodius, their tyrannical emperor who seeks to harness the power of the Sacred Orb, the source of all Bakugan DNA. The Brawlers agree to help Fabia and head to Neathia to help fight off the Gundalians. Meanwhile, Ren begins showing signs of distrust for Barodius and eventually defects to rejoin the Brawlers. Jake is captured by Kazarina, Gundalia's leading Bakugan scientist, and brainwashed, so the Brawlers head to Gundalia to rescue him. They are aided by Ren's teammates, who were imprisoned for failure, Nurzak, a former advisor to Barodius who turned against him after seeing that he would lead Gundalia to ruin, and Mason Brown, a teammate who had escaped imprisonment and also sided with Neathia. The Twelve Orders mount a final attack on Neathia, and the Brawlers return in time to defend the planet while Dan and Barodius engage in a final battle. Ren and Mason's teammates, Jesse Glenn, Lena Isis, and Zenet Surrow are freed from brainwashing after Kazarina's demise at the hands of Gill. Linehalt uses his Forbidden Powers to restore the war-torn Neathia, while Barodius and Dharak are destroyed by an overload of vast energy and power from the Sacred Orb. This grants Drago new strength and abilities, allowing him to evolve into Titanium Dragonoid and granting him the status of rule over all Bakugan. Season 4: Mechtanium Surge Part 1 The Brawlers' reign as number one in Bakugan Interspace is ended by two new powerful teams: Team Anubias and Team Sellon. Dan and Drago suffer from visions sent to them by Mag Mel and Razenoid, causing them to lose fans when Drago loses control in battle several times, threatening the lives of Interspace's citizens. Shun and Marucho find themselves unable to help as Dan is keeping everything to himself. When Dan loses control once again and nearly kills Anubias in battle, his fans abandon him and he leaves for New Vestroia to train. In Dan's absence, Shun becomes leader of the Battle Brawlers and tasks himself with returning the Brawlers to their former glory, but Paige and Rafe find the brawlers in disarray after attempting to learn from them. Dan becomes more uncaring and brushes off all opinions but his own while Marucho and Shun try to help him be a better leader. Eventually, Dan and Drago return, now able to control Drago's powers, as Marucho and Shun reunite and join up with Paige and Rafe. When the Chaos Bakugan start destroying Interspace, Spectra, who has changed his attribute from Pyrus to Darkus, appears to aid the Brawlers and destroys many of the Chaos Bakugan. Afterwards, Dan returns, but is out of sync and accidentally defeats his fellow brawlers with Zenthon. He tells them about Mag Mel, but Spectra left beforehand, disappointed in Dan having changed, while Shun leaves and dismisses Taylean's words. Dan later has a vision about Gundalia being attacked by a now freed Mag Mel and tells them about Gundalia, which Paige confirms. The Brawlers dismiss Dan and refuse to let him leave, but, after he insists that he is an original brawler and is not going to be cut from this fight, they let him come along to save Gundalia. They face Mag Mel and discover Interspace being destroyed, and so return to Earth to save it; however, they are trapped and must figure out a way to save the gate, the key, the battlers, and Interspace. Anubias and Sellon reveal themselves as artificial lifeforms created by Mag Mel to assure his resurrection and succeed in taking Dan's Key. In a new battle, Dan learns that Mag Mel is actually Barodius, who survived his last encounter on Neathia after being transported to the dark reversed dimension created by Code Eve. He now plans to destroy Earth, Gundalia, Neathia, Vestal, and New Vestroia by sending all civilizations to the dark reversed dimension. In he and Dan's final battle against Mag Mel and Razenoid, Drago evolves one more time into the legendary Fusion Dragonoid. They win, but, before "disappearing", Mag Mel says that his final demise will cause another disaster to befall Dan and Drago. Part 2 Several months later, humans and Bakugan from New Vestroia now coexist, as humans in Bakugan City managed to commune with them. However, four Mechtogan led by Coredegon, who have broken free from their Bakugan, start terrorizing the city, and a new enemy, Wiseman, emerges along with ancient Bakugan called the Nonets. Wiseman has the appearance of Gunz Lazar, a new Haos Brawler who disappeared after the four Mechtogan attacked Bakugan City. It is later revealed that Wiseman is actually Coredegon in disguise, while the real Gunz was put in a coma so his negative energy was absorbed. After Coredegon, in his combined form as a Mechtogan Destroyer, and his friends send the Brawlers to the Doom Dimension, he destroys Earth and New Vestroia. With Gunz back to normal, the brawlers travel through time in order to stop Mechtavius Destroyer from killing humanity and Bakugan. In the final battle, Dragonoid Destroyer, Drago's last Mechtogan, acquires an infinite power that comes from the bond between Bakugan and humans all over the world, allowing them to defeat the Nonet Mechtogan and send them back between dimensions. Dan's friends throw him a party before he decides to depart on another adventure with Drago, having had enough time in the spotlight and wanting other Brawlers to have the opportunity to rise to his rank. Shun sees Dan and Drago sailing off using a boat borrowed from Kato. == Media ==
