Here's the next chapter, enjoy.

Lucy had no clue how to respond to Masquerade's question, why was someone who could scare her looking for Lincoln. So the young goth shook her head, unable to find any courage to speak.

Masquerade: You know, Lucy Loud. It's not nice to lie.

Masquerade smiled evilly before catching a fast ball thrown by Lynn.

Lynn: Hey, Creep! Get away from my sister!

Masquerade: Feisty. Tell me, do you happen to have any strong Bakugan?

Lynn: Those little balls of Plastic? Why would I? I'm all about real sports!

The smile on Masquerade's face vanished as he began walking toward Lynn.

Masquerade: Balls of plastic? You really know nothing, do you?

Masquerade pulled out a Darkus Bakugan.

Lynn: Ha! Are you actually gonna throw that stupid toy? You are stupider then your outfit. 

Masquerade: Bakugan....

Lynn: You don't listen that well do you-

Masquerade: Brawl!!

Masquerade threw his Bakugan and hexagon tiles form from the ground as the Bakugan approached, landing on a black tile known as a BakuCore.

Black energy swarmed as the ball grew in size before forming...

Masquerade: DARKUS REAPER!! STAND!!

Darkus Reaper

Power: 650 Gs

Lynn's eyes widened as a nearly 10 story tall Bakugan stood before anyone.

Protester: Why is there a Bakugan here?!

Masquerade looked over at the protester, some looking in fear at Reaper. Rita passing out as she to had no clue about the truth of Bakugan.

Masquerade: Ah, right. You're still here. So, "Ban Bakugan" protesters. Since you don't have any Bakugan, how will you protect yourself against someone with Bakugan who doesn't want to obey the law.

Lynn jumped off a car with her bat raised over her head as she charged at Masquerade. 

Lynn: Aim for you!

Only to get a swift elbow to the chin by said masked young man.

Masquerade dusted off his elbow as Lynn flopped hard onto the ground, her bat chattering against the ground.

Masquerade: (exhales) Woooh, those online self-defense classes Shun uploaded sure are effective. Now where was I? (looks at the protesters) Ah, yes. Reaper! Attack!

Reaper: Die!!

Reaper raised his scythe toward the protesters, some ran and some stood their ground, thinking he was bluffing, only to scream as they quickly found out he wasn't as Reaper brought his scythe down on them. 

Lincoln: Bakugan Brawl!

Reaper's scythe was blocked by a flying Subterra Bakugan. Followed quickly by a Brown-ish Orange BakuCore colliding with it.

Lincoln: Subterra Cycloid! Stand!

The Bakugan then transformed, knocking Reaper's attack away.

Subterra Cycloid

Power: 450 Gs

Masquerade and the Loud Sisters looked to see a winded Lincoln, holding several more BakuCores of Pyrus & Subterra types.

Lynn: (groaning) Stink-coln has one too...?

Lori: This is Literally the craziest thing to happen...

As Reaper regained its stance, the protesters had cleared out, only the Louds were still there.

Lincoln: Girls! Clear out! This guy is seriously dangerous!

Lola: He's a scrawny punk

Masquerade: So you've finally showed yourself.

Lincoln: (panting) Screw you... I had to run 5 BLOCKS... Just to find some Subterra BakuCores... That WEREN'T on top of a building!

Masquerade: Not that it'll help-

With a swift back-fist, Masquerade knocked out Lynn Sr. who was trying to sneak up on him with Lynn's bat.

Lynn Sr.: (dazed) Mommy, I'm Scared Of Clowns... (falls nose first)

Masquerade: Not that it'll help you against me!

Masquerade knelt down, both to avoid a wide swing from Luna with her guitar and to grab a Darkus BakuCore. After snatching Luna's guitar from her and smashing it on her head, he threw the BakuCore while Lincoln threw all but one of the Subterra BakuCores he had.

Masquerade: Reaper!

Lincoln: Cycloid!

Reaper and Cycloid roared and clashed as their power skyrocketed.

Cycloid Power: 600 Gs

Reaper Power: 700 Gs

Lincoln began to sweat as he was at a disadvantage in both Power & Brawling Skill. Cycloid and Reaper clashed, hammer to scythe, but Cycloid was quickly being over powered. Reaper began to beat on Cycloid's weapon with heavy power, his G Power dropping with each hit he could barely block.

Masquerade: Nice effort, but I think its time to end this.

Masquerade then pulled out an evil looking card with a skull emblem on the front.

Masquerade: This should get my message to-

Masquerade then swiftly elbowed both Lori & Luan in the gut before returning to his normal stance.

Masquerade: -to the Battle Brawlers clear as crystal!

Lincoln: Quit beating up my sisters!

Masquerade: Tell them to stop trying to fight me.

Masquerade threw the card down and the entire area was cloaked in darkness, the sun was quickly blocked out.

Cycloid Power: 450 Gs

Reaper Power: 850 Gs

Before Lincoln could react, the BakuCores he was holding onto dissolved in his arms.

Lincoln: What the!?

Masquerade: The Doom Card draws power from the Doom Dimension, Darkus Bakugan gains more power while negating the power of any other Faction of Bakugan. Reaper! End this!

Lincoln quickly put the last BakuCore into a card holder on his belt. Pulling out a card that was shining with the same energy.

Lincoln: Ability Card, Activate! Grand Slide!

Cycloid glowed before sliding away, Reaper attempted to follow but the ground turned into Quick Sand.

Masquerade: While you lack power, you are creative, but how long can you keep that up?

Lincoln: (thinking) I only have one other Bakugan and there are no Subterra BakuCores nearby... Grrrr...

Lincoln threw out his last Bakugan, followed by a Pyrus BakuCore.

Lincoln: Pyrus Stinglash! Stand!

When the BakuCore connected with the Bakugan, Stinglash transformed and joined the battle.

Stinglash

Power: 480 Gs

Lola: Why are these things so ugly!?

Stinglash and Cycloid's power was enough to start pushing Reaper back, Stinglash attacking with a flurry of claw and stinger attacks. Cycloid wailed on Reaper's defenses with his hammer. Both whittling down Reaper's defenses as they overpowered him together.

Cycloid & Stinglash Power: 930 Gs

Masquerade: A combined assault. While not very fair, I wasn't planning on playing by the rules either so it doesn't matter, much like how it won't change the outcome of this battle.

Masquerade walked over toward the Louds, Leni shielded her sisters with her body but Masquerade just bent down and revealed another Darkus BakuCore.

Lana: Can Lincoln and this guy just see these things?!

Lincoln looked at his family who were dragging the ones that failed to attack Masquerade.

Lincoln: WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE!?!?! RUN AWAY!!!

Lana: You got this!

Masquerade: Ability Card! Activate! Reaper of the Chaos!

Reaper: Get off of me you weaklings!!

Reaper glowed and blew back both Bakugan away with new found power.

Reaper Power: 1050 Gs

Lincoln: NO I DON'T!!!!

With one strike, Reaper finished off both Cycloid & Stinglash, then a portal of dark energy opened up behind them.

Masquerade: Your Bakugan will make decent sacrifices for the Doom Dimension!

Cycloid and Stinglash's roars faded away as they were pulled into the Doom Dimension.

Lincoln: No...

Lincoln fell to his knees as he saw his only Bakugan disappear into the portal. Reaper looming over him.

Masquerade: Come now, shouldn't you have 3 Bakugan?

Masquerade quickly turned around to look Lucy in the face, the young goth was the closest to sneaking up on him. Lucy then flopped over as she had a heart attack from the sudden and swift scare Masquerade gave her by just turning around.

Masquerade: If you don't have any more Bakugan, then you can join them in the Doom Dimension! Reaper!

Reaper dug his scythe into the ground and launched Lincoln toward the portal.

Lincoln: AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Loud Sisters: LINCOLN!!!

The Loud boy closed his eyes as he was sucked into the portal, until a three fingered claw caught him. Then from the portal, a large bipedal dragon with the colors of a Darkus Bakugan stepped out of the portal.

Masquerade: What?!

Lincoln stared up at his savior, which looked back at him.

Reaper: Hey, who are you?!

???: You. Small Human.

Lincoln: Y-Yes?

???: Where am I?

Lincoln: Planet Earth.

???: So not Vestroia...

Reaper then raised his scythe as he charged at the new Bakugan.

Reaper: Don't you ignore me!

The dragonoid Bakugan caught Reaper's scythe and stopped the attack dead in its tracks.

???: Don't you know...?

Reaper began shaking has he he couldn't move his scythe an inch.

???: It's rude for weaklings to butt-in on someone else's conversation!?

The Darkus Bakugan then shattered the blade by making a fist before punching Reaper in the face.

Reaper Power: 500 Gs

Masquerade: A single attack that cut Reapers power by more than half...

Masquerade then smiled widely, like a spoiled kid who sees something they want but it belongs to someone else.

Masquerade: Interesting! I must see more! Reaper! Attack With Everything You Have Left!

Grabbing & throwing another Darkus BakuCore, Reaper roared as his power surged again, now only armed with his fists. Leonidas weaved and punched Reaper in the gut, making him fall to one knee. Leonidas then spread his wings and took flight. 

Lincoln: WOOOOAAAAH!!!!

Looking around from the sky, the Dragon Bakugan could see BakuCores dotted around the town reappearing as the portal to the Doom Dimension shut.

???:  What are those glowing dots?

Lincoln: BakuCores. The Brawler normally throws them to the Bakugan to use abilities and boost their power.

???: I see. So I need a

Lincoln: I mean yeah... Mind if I ask a question?

???: Its only fair, as I've asked a couple already.

Lincoln: Who are you?

???: I have no name, but I will go by... Leonidas.

Lincoln: Well... You do need a Brawler to battle another Bakugan. Mind if I am that guy?

Leonidas: Fine by me, so long as we battle Bakugan. 

Lincoln: Great! Normally brawls have 3 Bakugan each, but... You probably saw mine fall through the portal when you-

Leonidas: I didn't see anything falling through the portal, most likely they were just teleported to the ground.

Leonidas: Now then...

Leonidas glanced at Reaper, who was flying up after them. 

Leonidas: Let's start the new partnership by getting rid of the trash.

Leonidas suddenly rocketed at Reaper, Lincoln clinging on to dear life.

Lincoln: FIELD OPEN!!!

A blue transparent field formed around Leonidas & Reaper as the former slammed into the skeletal Bakugan. Leonidas then rose from the rubble and threw Reaper across the street. Masquerade causally watched, his odd lenses checking Leonidas' power.

Leonidas Power: ?!?ERROR?!?

Masquerade: He's drawing nearly limitless power from the Doom Dimension. 

Leonidas grabbed Reaper by the horns and knee'd him in the face, breaking off the horns. Reaper's G-Power hit 0 and it turned back into its ball. Masquerade caught Reaper and began walking away.

Masquerade: This was very interesting, thank you Loud, I'll be in touch.

Masquerade entered a white portal doorway that opened from nothing before shutting it behind him. The field vanished as he disappeared, 

Leonidas: Wha... THAT'S IT?!?!?! I THOUGHT THERE WERE TWO MORE?!?!

Lincoln: Looks like he's playing it safe and giving up. You did just come out of the Doom Dimension, a place that from what I understand, "NO" Bakugan comes back from.

Leonidas: I was born there! How was I supposed to know that?!

Lincoln: (extra emphasis) "Doom Dimension", how people call it should be enough. 

Leonidas: RAAAAHHH!!! I WANNA FIGHT SOME MORE!!! RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!

*****

Dinner that afternoon was... Awkward... The Louds had an improper introduction to what a real Bakugan looks like. Rita was dealing with major headaches after feinting at the scene. They were less talkative. Lincoln chose to eat in the living room to avoid the stares from his sisters, not that it helped as Leonidas was rage eating... Somehow in his ball form...

Lincoln: Can you calm it down, Leonidas.

Leonidas: I came from the Doom Dimension to fight and my first battle is ruined by someone calling it quits as I arrive! I AM FURIOUS!!! 

Rita: Lincoln, can you calm your... pet down-

Rita had to duck as Leonidas threw a plate at her.

Leonidas: BUTT OUT, WOMAN!!!

Lincoln: Mom, Dad. Please treat this like a Sister Fight Protocol.

Luan, after finishing her meal, walked over to Leonidas, who was eating at the coffee table.

Luan: So should we take this little ball of anger into another room-

Leonidas suddenly leaped from the coffee table and began attacking Luan's teeth.

Luan: WAAAAHHH!!! HE'S PULLING MY BRACES!!!

Lincoln and the other Louds quickly got to work trying to dislodge Leonidas from Luan's braces.

*****

In a dark space, Masquerade was reviewing his footage of Leonidas.

Masquerade: A Bakugan born from the Doom Dimension. He shall either make a wonderful tool... or a worthy sacrifice.

Masquerade laughed madly, his voice echoing throughout the basement he was in.
