| - The episode starts in the afterlife, where Tsurambo is sitting in his chair and watching what is taking place in Avagan and what he just witnessed Zakaros do at the Gate. He says well played Zakaros - I should have seen it from the beginning but then, he sees that Submarik and Venzana have surrendered and are being held captive by the other Masters. However, the rest of the battle is still going on with Barodius' forces. He looks and sees the DarkGod and HighGod forces are still fighting elsewhere but Neotaro and Maxoric are nowhere to be seen, due to Daedathron's quick work of them. He sighs and says perhaps it is time I took more of a role in this conflict as he gets up from his chair. He walks outside and throws a Bakugan saying I need your assistance, Ventus Rayfury as a huge dragon like Ventus Bakugan with wings appears. Rayfury says I am ready Master as they fly to Avagan. The scene now shifts back to Vestal space, where Dan and Drago just returned from the afterlife. Drago says it makes no sense – he was right there with us; has he gone bad as Dan says I don’t understand it either as then, a moving around is felt in his pocket and out pops Blan Shoult! Both of them are shocked as Shoult says what the – where am I, what’s going on. Dan says you tell us - last I checked, you were with Zakaros Shoult. Shoult says yes, I was but.. pause..........that darn Zakaros – sneaky as ever as Dan says yeah, he must have snuck you in my pocket when he pushed me into the portal. Just then, Dan remembers the battle – we have to head back to Vestal or rather what is left of it and make sure everybody is all right. He tries to get through with his BakuStrike Launcher but he can't get through to any of them as he says must be some interference. He says Drago, open a portal but Drago says I'm sorry Dan - remember; he broke the portals that I can open. Shoult then says but, his powers don't effect me; throw me and I'll get us on our way. Dan says great as he throws them both, gets on Drago and activates Shoult's Dimension Blade. Shoult says oh yes as he slices and it opens a portal with Dan saying time to jet as they fly through and it closes behind them. Back in Vestal space, everybody is still watching as Dragaon and Munikis are still fighting against Calthor and Sivac, crazy as they were before. Sivac says while blocking some of Dragaon's attacks this is not looking good at all but then, Munikis appears and makes his clawed hand go through Sivac, causing pain as he uppercut slices, defeating Sivac quickly. Calthor says Sivac but then, Dragaon appears and punches Calthor, knocking him back hard. Calthor quickly recovers and fires a series of blasts from his staff; which hit Dragaon hard and goes up in smoke. Everybody is in shock as Calthor says that was only to delay time as in the smoke, a growling and red glowing eyes are seen through the smoke as Dragaon just floats out like nothing happened. Munikis joins up with Dragaon as Calthor breathes heavily as Tivala says Master, we can assist but Calthor says no or you will be my next target. A distance behind the Brawlers, a portal opens and out come Dan, Drago and Shoult as they say good we made it but then, they see what is happening. Calthor uses his speed and tries to confuse Dragaon but Munikis just turns to the right, blocks Calthor's kick with his hand and then pushes him back with dark energy. Calthor recovers quickly but then, Munikis roars and fires some type of static from his mouth that actually paralyzes Calthor. Calthor says in shock what is this as his arms are outstretched and says I can't move. Back at Dan's location, Dan says what's up with Dragaon and Munikis as Drago says it appears they have evolved again as Shoult says but, they don't seem all right - like they are possessed. Dan says I think I know why but then, he sees Dragaon grow his tail and create a really sharp blade like weapon. Helios says what's he doing as Spectra says I have no idea. Dragaon then roars and charges as Calthor says no, I can't be defeated as he tries to move but he can only his fingers slightly. Dragaon then does a complete spin with the blade moving like a saw blade as he then slices right through Calthor's right arm. He spins for a bit and stops as then, Calthor's right arm completedly gets cut off right at the shoulder as Calthor cries out in immense pain as he regains his movement and clutches his side as Munikis breathes dark fire and burns the arm to ashes. Everybody is in complete shock as meanwhile, Drago says enemy or not - I can't allow this as Shoult says I agree; this is not what Zakaros would want of Dragaon and Munikis as Dan says time to get serious as they start flying. Back at the battle, Tivala yells out Master Calthor as Calthor is still clutching his side in pain as he sweats and says I cannot believe that this power would be this strong as Dragaon and Munikis are still floating around him, stalking him. Falco says this isn't them as Aquas says they are so consumed by their failure to protect Dan and Vestal that they only want vengeance as Mira says can't anybody stop this. At that point, Dragaon charges up an attack and prepares to strike as he charges straight at Calthor but then, he is stopped in mid flight. Everybody is in shock as they see that Drago has grabbed Dragaon's tail as Drago says sorry but about time you calmed down as he throws Dragaon the other way. Dan says yeah, all right - Shoult, you get Munikis as Munikis prepares to strike Dan now but then, Shoult appears behind him and puts him in a full nelson and says already on it. The Brawlers and Runo especially wonder if that is really Dan and Drago as on the ship, Lindsata sees Shoult and says there is no mistake - that is my Shoult as her Bakugan say but if he is here, doesn't that mean Zakaros is here too? She doesn't respond quickly but heads out to the battlefield. Drago and Dragaon are still exchanging blows while Shoult is trying to control Munikis while saying time you settled down, you wild stallion as he breathes fire on Munikis' neck - injuring him. While this is gonig on, Calthor is still clutching his side as he smiles and says perfect, the plan worked as he slowly starts to back up but Dragaon notices and shoves Drago aside, going after him. Dan yells out to Dragaon to stop, this isn't what Zakaros would want as then, Dragaon stops within an inch of Calthor's face. Calthor doesn't even flinch as Dragaon looks back and says in a growling voice "............Dan........." and he returns to ball form and to Dan. Munikis then lets go and also returns to ball form after Shoult lets him go and he floats also to Dan. They soon open up as Dragaon says Dan, is that you as Munikis says my head hurts - what happened as they notice their new forms. Dragaon says I'm so sorry but I thought you were gone as Dan says I was as then, everybody starts hurrying over to where Dan is as meanwhile, Calthor just watches, looks at himself and says an unexpected setback but one that I'm pleased worked out. The scene now shifts back to the afterlife, where a fight is still going on in Avagan as the BakuGods are slowly beating back the Mechtogan with some new BakuBlaster Bakugan - Katapultra and Triggerdon. The Mechtogan are slowly falling back as Coredegon says stand strong you idiots - we will win this but then, Zenthon appears and says I highly doubt that as he punches Coredegon in the face, knocking him down. Slycerak says you will pay for that, Mechtogan but then, a flash is seen as Sky Sprint appears and slices the others down with speed, as he then takes his shield and fires point accurate blasts at each Mechtogan, defeating them and saying Zenthon Titan, get them out of our city. Zenthon Titan says with pleasure as he grabs each one and throws them far away, eliminated that threat. Zenoheld says there goes our firepower as Hydron then appears and says and don't forget about us as he, Lync and Volt are all ready against him and Farbros. Zenoheld says you are not worth my time as he activates Hellion Breath but Aluze and Boriates take the hit as Boriates says all yours Dryoid as Dryoid says no problem as he takes his sword out. Hydron then activates Geki Dust Barrier and manages to defeat Farbros as Zenoheld is pushed back. Meanwhile, Sid and Torin are handling protecting the people while the local and BakuGod forces, including Thorius and Blakai, take on the rest of Barodius' forces and are actually winning as it now shifts to Barodius and Zarodius circling each other. Barodius smiles and says I never expected to see you but then again, I don't work with weak minded old fools. Zarodius says I should have known you would be the downfall of our people but at least I was smart enough to know what was right. Barodius says funny; you were just as responsible for the war so you are no saint. Zarodius says I may not be a saint but at least I wanted to do the right thing. Barodius says sometimes doing the right thing is the wrong idea as he charges with lightning blazing and tries to strike his father. Zarodius says you might be the Emperor as he ducks, punches his son in the stomach and uses some fight moves to paralyze him as he finishes saying but you should know - age brings experience. Barodius just looks up at his father with anger as the rest of the Twelve Orders see this and hurry over to their Emperor but still kind of nervous about approaching the former Emperor. Zarodius says take your Emperor away from here; he is no longer a member of the Gundalian people, nor are any of you for that matter as the Gundalian people watch this. Gill says Lord Zarodius, perhaps we could come to an understanding as Kazarina says we would certainly like to dicuss the matters with you but Zarodius says I make no arrangements; especially with those who helped my son usurp me from the throne. Airzel and Stoica are kind of surprised as Airzel asks what is he talking about Master Gill as Gill says I'll explain later as Barodius says call all our forces and withdraw from here - we lost our chance. Gill says yes sire as Barodius looks at his father sternly as Zarodius does as well for a second but they both go their opposite directions. Mag Mel sneers and says even he couldn't handle the pressure as he jumps on Razenoid and they leave, as well as the other forces. After they leave, the BakuGods, local soldiers and Zakaros' forces celebrate - they start rebuilding. As things are moving well, Zakaros is seen standing at the ruined Gate of Restorum as everybody starts to come around as he just looks at it. Atrion says well, you have some explaining to do as Lync says yeah, how come you didn't go with him and more importantly, why did you mislead us with thinking you were going with Dan. As Zakaros holds the Amulet, he says because it would have alerted to Calthor on how things are progressing here and whether I would be a threat to him soon. And plus, I knew of what he was doing but by doing what I did, we now have the advantage. Atrion says but that doesn't explain why you gave up your chance of returning with Dan – how will you get back now as Sid says yeah man, as we say back home, you can’t go over-budget. Zakaros then cracks a smile and says he already knows and always had a backup plan. Everybody gets a bit confused as Torin asks what do you mean as Zakaros says he knew Calthor killed Dan on purpose so he knew I would use my chance to save him and in the process, read Dan’s mind but I didn’t show Dan what I knew or what you knew as he then takes out the Master’s Amulet from his robe. Blakai says that’s right – that amulet can do things that are deemed impossible if you’re the MasterGod as Zakaros says exactly. But there is also something else as he then pulls out the Book of Wistorn and says when the Amulet is in one's possession; there are secret pages that are only visible to those wearing it - I'll show you. He puts the Amulet and returns to the new form he got but immediately cringes down in pain as everybody asks what is wrong. Zakaros says here as he shows a series of invisible pages in the book and then quickly takes the Amulet off, reverting back to his original form. Blakai says okay, is that thing cursed as Zakaros says I don't know but the book basically says once I use the Amulet on the Gate again, I can go to and from here as I please and bring as many people as needed with me - I coudn't allow Calthor to know this information. Sid says eh, smart move but still, we got to find those pieces to the Gate and figure out what that trinket is going bonkers when you put it on. Zakaros says I've been meaning to ask this - Mahisas, I assume you have an explanation on why the Amulet is doing this and another thing, it doesn't feel that I gained all the power I need to defeat Calthor. and might I say, it's being restrictive. Mahisas says yes, it's about time that I told you some more as the screen zooms out. The scene now shifts back to Vestal space, where the Brawlers are hurrying over to Dan, Drago and Shoult. Runo is out in front of everybody else as she hurries over and gives Dan a big hug, which Dan is shocked at but then, Runo hits him on the head. Runo yells at him and says how dare you make us worry like that - how could you fool us like that as Dan yells back and says well, for your information - I did die, got sent into a war torn area, dealt with all our past villains and on top of that, Zakaros doesn't even come back with me. As everybody joins up and Runo gives back Dan's goggles, which Dan says thanks, I really hoped these weren't destroyed as he puts them back on. Falco asks you mean you saw Zakaros - is he okay and where is he. Dan says he is not here as then, Lindsata appears and says that can't be - if he isn't here, how come Shoult is here as she flies up and gives him a hug and says it's good to see you back. Shoult says it is a great relief to see you well, master but as for Zakaros, he snuck me in Dan's pocket and I had no clue as Dan says we were at a Gate that could transport us back but he pushed me in, said he was going to be right behind me but then, he destroyed the Gate so nobody else could go in or get out and here I am. Dragaon says this doesn't make any sense as then, Calthor says nearby perhaps I can enlighten you, still clutching his side in pain. Dan says well, as much as I feel sad for you - Dragaon and Munikis did some work on you with Dragaon saying in shock I did that. Calthor says don't worry; these wounds will heal and let me be the first to welcome you back and ask how was your trip. Dan says dream on, I'm back now so your little plan didn't work on getting rid of me. Calthor says on the contrary - my plans worked perfectly and you fell right for it. Dan says what you are talking about as Calthor says with a raised eyebrow Zakaros didn't tell you - well then, let me have a look as his eyes glow purple and he peers into Dan's mind with Dan saying get out of my head. Calthor says don't worry - all I want is to see your memories as he sees what Dan saw but then, he is blasted by Drago with a laster palm blast. It interrupts him as Drago says I think you have done enough with that brain of yours as Calthor says you don't trust me - can't say I blame you but I saw what I needed to see and it appears I have no threats now. Spectra says you had better explain what you are blabbering about as Calthor says fine, but you will not like it as he explains that the Gate Dan is talking about is the Gate of Restorum and it can only be used once every 1,000 mortal years so when it fully charges - it causes a mad scramble for those who wish to have a 2nd life. Mira then asks how do you know about that as Calthor says I studied it extensively when I went there - fascinating piece of architecture and mystic power and it just so happened I knew exactly when it would be activated. Nurzak then thinks about it and says in a shocked tone so, you fully knew that Dan would come back as Calthor says correct and while I was surprised about some of the allies that Dan encountered - Zakaros basically gave up his only chance of ever returning to defeat me for you as he points to Dan. Everybody is shocked as Dan says I had no idea - I would have stayed there if it meant that as Calthor says Zakaros obviously believed you were needed more than him and must have the faith that you can defeat me. So, to make it simple for you all to understand - you are now the only defense against me and now that the Gate has been used, I can get rid of you all now. Dan says dream on, you may be powerful but you aren't invinceable and you are going down. Calthor says please, just because your little dragon cut my arm off doesn't mean it won't reheal and it also doesn't mean I can destroy just as easily. He then charges up an attack as everybody gets ready to defend but then, a voice over Spectra's comm says Master Spectra, you may want to move as then, the Vestal Interceptor appears behind them. Spectra says Gus and then, the Interceptor brings out a huge cannon from it's center and it starts charging. Baraxx then appears on the comm and says you should back away as Calthor fires his blast. However, the ship fires its cannon and it not only completely eliminates Calthor's blast but it hits him right down the middle and it even cracks Calthor's staff a bit. As Calthor floats backwards, Tivala and the others appear to assist as Dan says let's go as everybody hurries but then, Laura sees ANDRUS and Clawbec still floating nearby. She then says "Ability Activate - Whip Lasso!" as Aphrodite creates a whip that grabs both of them and tows them to the ship. After everybody gets on, the ship turns and uses its speed to get away. Tivala says I will immediately go after them but Calthor says no, remain here. He continues by saying that it will take time for these injuries to heal; the Brawlers may have won themselves this miniscule victory but next time, they will suffer my wrath. Back on the ship, the others head onto the bridge as Gus says Master Spectra, we have full power and even access energy to spare. Spectra says how was this possible - we didn't get enough energy from the Ragnarok Dextra. Gus says we got it from Dragaon and Munikis - one of the stray cables managed to contact with the excess energy and it filled the remaining main and excess power cells so we have more than enough to power the ship and all the systems. Dan says good, because we are going to need, whenever Calthor gets moving. Meanwhile, in private, Lindsata and Shoult are talking as Shoult says Lindsata, I do remember something but I don't' know if it was meant for me or you. Lindsata asks what was it as Shoult says everything will be all right as the ship flies on through space. The scene now shifts back to the afterlife, where Zakaros says all right Mahisas - explain. Mahisas says the Amulet has not fully accepted you - because you are not pure; it is having trouble accepting you. Part of the problem is the last one who wasn't entirely pure was Lacetornia; the first MasterGod but after that, there have not been any others - call it a sudden change in the routine. He continues by saying that because it hasn't pulled adjusted to you and is why not only is your new form only accessible while wearing the Amulet but it is draining your energy, which should not happen. When it adjusts to you, you shouldn't have these side effects and that form will become permanent - at least, I believe so. Zakaros says understandable as Mahisas but there is something else - I am not the final Guardian. Everybody says what as Mahisas says granted; there are commonly only 3 Guardians but when the last MasterGod was to come - I am supposed to reveal that there is a 4th Guardian who has the real final piece to the Amulet. Zakaros says great as he takes a seat and says all right - where do I have to go now? Mahisas says you don't find the 4th Guardian - the 4th Guardian finds you which shocks and intrigues everybody. Zakaros says great, what else could go wrong as then, Pyraxx appears and says Master Zakaros, what shall we do with them as he gestures to Submarik and Venzana, who are bound by the other Masters. Submarik and Venzana kneel at Zakaros’ feet as they both try to apologize, saying they were only doing their duty but then, a voice says unfortunately, your duty blinded you to the deception Zakaros caused. Everybody looks up and sees Tsurambo approaching from the sky on Rayfury. Everybody bows (except the citizens) as Tsurambo has a stern look on his face while he recalls Rayfury. Submarik says Master, please explain to the future successor that we were only looking out for his well-being but Tsurambo says unfortunately, it is you I must scold. Both Masters are in shock as Venzana says why, Master. Tsurambo turns to Zakaros and says what the successor did was masterful – he has set the stage for his return. He explains, like Caltor did, that the Gate can only be used once and both Zakaros and Calthor know this. Zakaros let Dan go through alone because he knew Calthor would read his mind and see what is going on – in order to lead him astray and from the true goals. Submarik says if only we knew – we would have helped but Tsurambo that was the point – it had to be real; Calthor would have suspected that it would have been an act and even your other brothers and sisters had no knowledge of Zakaros’ true intentions but they stood by the fact that they trusted his judgment, unlike you. Submarik says but his mortal friends must have known but Blakai says no, we didn't - he only told us to trust him; we didn't know what his plan was. While Submarik feels even more guilty, Venzana says please, give us another chance but Tsurambo says I am sorry but you have done the unspeakable – attacking a successor and your own kin is extremely forbidden and even Zakaros knows and respects this law; I have no choice. He then says he is stripping both of them of their ranks, powers and privileges and they are to be imprisoned to reflect on what they done. They both try to object but then reduces them to human sized versions of themselves as they are escorted to cells nearby. On the way, Venzana says to Zakaros I am sorry but Submarik says nothing as they are taken away. After they leave, Zakaros says you didn’t have to do that for me but Tsurambo says I was wrong in not trusting you but I see that judgment must be passed for those who do wrong now. The other Attribute Masters are still saddened as Hatoro says what now as Pyraxx says whatever the case, Zakaros still needs a Subterra and Ventus teacher – we can’t do all the attributes ourselves. But before Tsurambo can answer that question, a voice says perhaps we can help. They look over and they see Trianic and Tornador standing tall nearby. Everybody gets into defensive positions as Zakaros grows wings and flies up in the air. Tornador says please, we are not here to fight as Trianic says we come alone, upon my honor. Zakaros says where are your masters as Tornador says our masters are currently…..indisposed of; they have no knowledge of our whereabouts. Pyraxx asks how did they find this place as Tornador says I placed a wind tracker on the human that was flying with the Darkus scorpion with the red jacket – we didn’t know of another way to find you. Masquerade looks at Mahisas and hey, why are you looking at me as Masquerade says no, I should have known but I checked and I didn't see anything. Zakaros asks why are you both here as Trianic says for one, clarification and two, to help you. Zakaros and the others let up as Zakaros says can you turn into ball form - less conspicuous. They both agree and return to ball form and fly down to Zakaros as he then asks what do you mean clarification. Trianic says during our last fight - we saw into your mind and we both saw memories with Tornador saying including the destruction of our home. Trianic says we are also seeing things differently here but to make sure that we aren't seeing things. Tornador says also, if you need a Subterra and Ventus teacher - we can help; I was one of Venzana's best students as Trianic as was I with Submarik - we may not know all their techniques but we know much. Zakaros smiles, sits down and says let's rest and talk a bit. Meanwhile, the scene shifts to a misty and yet very tranquil place that is mostly covered in shadow like trees, shrubbery and steams. We then hear what sounds like a gong in the background and suddenly, numerous creatures appear and start flying towards what appears to be an ornate stone palace. It is soon revealed that the creatures are different attributed Bakugan that land as the screen zooms to the top of the palace entrance where a large Aquos Dragon like Bakugan (with a golden beard) is lying down and using his tail to hit the gong. After the Bakugan stop coming, the Aquos Bakugan raises his head and says students, I have seen what is happening nearby - it is time that we play our role in the MasterGods training now. All the students say yes Master Dive Fouje. The Aquos Bakugan, now known as Dive Fujoe, says Garyu, Horus - you will come with me as an Aquos and Pyrus Bakugan say yes sir as Fujoe says the rest of you, prepare the grounds for arrival. The other Bakugan say yes Master as Fujoe opens his wings and with his students, they fly onward to Avagan. (End of episode)
