| - The episode starts in Earth’s orbit as Calthor is meditating while the darkness glows around his new form. Inside Calthor, Sivac cackles to himself and says my plan worked perfectly – now I’m in control of both Calthor’s mind and body and as soon as I destroy the Brawlers – I can create my own dark empire throughout the universe. Outside, Tivala says Master, what are your ordesr as Sivac says to himself you know; she has been a failure from the start. He then uses his new body to grab her by the throat, strangling her a bit as he says you have failed to deliver and destroy the Brawlers for me and for that, you should pay for your insolence. As he squeezes harder, she says I am sorry Master, not knowing Calthor isn’t in control but Sivac says however, I still require your meager assistance – you will be destroyed after your next failure. Tivala says yes, of course Master as she leaves. However, Sivac says to himself she’ll be destroyed quite soon but in the darkness, a Cheshire cat grin appears. Meanwhile, in the afterlife and more specifically, in a camp clearing – Baraxx and Firebaxx in ball form are laid out inside a makeshift cage as the mysterious figure is sharpening what looks like a wing but it shows it’s a feather pen that it is using to write on a piece of parchment. But soon, Baraxx slowly gets up as he shakes his head and wonders where he is. He looks around and says we must be in the afterlife – Zakaros wasn’t lying when he said it looked bad here but then, he notices he's in a cage. He grabs the bars and says what's going on as then he hears the sharpening sound being made. Just then, a voice says you know of the successor as both Baraxx and Firebaxx are taken back as they look behind them and see a full view Aquos Bakugan still writing on the parchment. Baraxx lowers his guard and asks who are you as the Aquos Bakugan leaps down and says I am Goon Ikarus – a Chronicler. Baraxx backs up a bit and asks are you the one who put me in this cage as the Bakugan, now known as Goon Ikarus, says yes - I did and for good reason. He then grabs the flute he was using before and plays a small tune. Baraxx says that's beautiful playing as Ikarus doesn't look amused and says it's not for your entertainment - it's a signal. Baraxx says for whom as then, out of the forested area come at least two dozen Bakugan - the same Bakugan that Baraxx killed back on BakuThia so long ago. Baraxx instantly knows who they are as he gets a bit frightened as they surround the cage as one says Ikarus, are you sure this is him; he looks different than before as Ikarus says yes, now we can get our vengeance. Baraxx says I remember all of these but not you as Ikarus jumps down and says I was a record keeper for the Bibliocore and in your rampage against these innocent Bakugan - you killed me as well in the process. He continues by saying I, as well as others, didn't derserve that privilege. One of them says I remember you now clear as the sky above me – you attacked us and killed us without provocation. Another says I’m sure you’ve come back to finish us off – we have done nothing to you. Baraxx just hangs his head down in shame and is completely silent, which surprises Goon Ikarus a bit since in his written recordings, Baraxx acted very differently than he is now. Another Bakugan says what shall we do to punish him for our deaths as they talk amongst each other, from eating him alive to boiling him to even torturing him till he feels the pain that they did. Baraxx, in the midst of all this, is completely silent as a tear rolls down his cheek as Firebaxx says Master, we can escape this if you throw me and we fight out way through. Baraxx says in a sad yet calm tone no and that's an order Firebaxx - I don't want to fight them. Firebaxx says all right, I trust you as Baraxx then raises his arms up high and then, he bows down in shame on the ground. The Bakugan stop talking and are a bit taken back as Baraxx says I beg you for your forgiveness – all of you. The Bakugan are even more taken back as Baraxx says I was not myself – I was being manipulated by another but that is no excuse for taking innocent lives. Goon Ikarus takes notes down on this saying to himself this will be remembered in the archives Baraxx says I take full responsibility for what I did and whatever you want to do with me – please do it but I must tell you, I have to warn the MasterGod immediately of an impending threat to the mortal world. He continues by saying if you will let me pass; I give my word – however little it means to you all, that I will return and except any punishments you pass upon me. The Bakugan all look at each but then, one of the Bakugan children walks forward and says Mister BakuGod – it’s okay, we know; we were just playing with you. Baraxx looks up with tears down his face and is confused; asking what do you mean. As all the Bakugan start smiling and looking happy, Goon Ikarus smiles and says we all know, as one of the Bakugan uses his tail to lift up the cage and throw it far away, that you were not fighting on your own accord. A female Bakugan says we've actually been waiting the day for you to come here so we can properly forgive you for what happened to us as an elder Bakugan says but we thought we would have some fun first. Baraxx is so taken back that he starts tearing up and says thank you, thank you so much - I can never repay you as Ikarus says now then, what's the impeding threat you need to tell the successor. Baraxx explains what happened before he was destroyed as the children are in shock at what happened and what is to come. One of the male Bakugan says this is serious; we have to tell the successor immediately but another male Bakugan asks but how can we get there - I heard of the city of Avagan is over 2 days away on foot. Ikarus says leave that to me - I may not be useful in battle but I can grant power to others and, I'm quite quick with a pen. Baraxx says I have to hurry as Ikarus says all right, get on me as he says "Change - Soar Form!" as he transforms into an eagle like Bakugan. Baraxx gets on as Ikarus says now then, use this as he hands Baraxx an ability card. Baraxx says "Ability Activate - Typhoon Boost!" as Ikarus glows and gives all the Bakugan present a major boost in speed. Ikarus says onward, to Avagan, as they all start running in the direction of Avagan as Baraxx says I have a new sense of purpose in myself now - I'll be there soon Zakaros. Meanwhile, the scene shifts to another part of the afterlife as Daedathron, Zakaros and the other members of Daedathron's team are flying on their way to where the humans are as then, a voice says hey Zakaros, wait up. Zakaros looks behind him and sees Atrion, Blakai, Sid, Torin, Hydron, Volt, Lync and Masquerade following. Zakaros says you should be back at the base; we're going to need to coordinate new living areas but Sid says yeah right, even with that giant T-rex with you - your little rescue party isn't designed for combat; we have to come along. Torin says I agree with Sid; we can stay hidden if needed and provide back up support. Atrion says and just in case you would say no, I've already sent my Bakugan over to keep the area on watch so in case we see any DarkGods or HighGods. Lync chuckles and says face it; you ain't getting rid of us as Zakaros says all right but don't cause any fights unnecessarily as they all catch up to where the humans are. The humans and New Vestroian Bakugan are still recovering from what the heck just happened. Miyoko looks around and wonders where they are as she says dear, I don't think we are in Bayview anymore as however, Shijiro is concerned with the pudding he has with him. A male human wonders what the heck is going on; I've got an appointment in 10 minutes as a Haos Anchorsaur says hey, look up there. Everybody looks and they happen to see Lava Cerebrus laying down on a nearby rock formation just keeping an eye out. A Darkus Hammersaur then notices Golem, Aldophino, Sky Manta and Gladitor in different positions around them and says we're surrounded. He activates Crush Hurricane and fires it at Sky Manta but Sky Manta just absorbs the attack, saying weak attacks like that won't have any effect on me but I'm not here to fight. The Bakugan stay on the defensive as then, Daedathron and the others arrive as the humans get a bit scared and the New Vestroia Bakugan say everyone group together; we'll protect you as the humans gather in a circle with the Bakugan forming a circular barrier. Shun's Grandfather, however, says move - an old man needs to have his space and eyesight. Torin turns into his human form and says don't worry; we're friends as some of the humans say likely story since one of those freaks destroyed Earth as they point to the BakuGods and Zakaros. Blakai then says but we aren't bad at all - we're not with him as the humans continue to be stubborn. Volt then says looks like we may have to fight them to make them believe as Hydron says but we shouldn't fight them unless necessary but then, a loud voice says VOLT!. Volt looks up in surprise and sees Brontes running towards him as he yells out BRONTES! They both jump in a stand still scene (twinkle stars) and soon, they reunite as Volt say I never thought I would see you again as Brontes says me too, haha - we got a lot of catching up to you. Just then, Miyoko sees Zakaros' human form and walks out of the protective area with a few humans saying hey, get back here lady - they can wipe you out like that other one did. She walks up to Zakaros and says I recognize you; you were with Dan and his friends right as Zakaros says that's right - you're Dan's Mom. Miyoko says yes, it's good to see familiar faces as Marucho's parents come forward as Shuuko Marukura says yes, I remember you as well - our medical staff treated you and my son thinks highly of you. As they start talking, the other humans start to relax and actually open up a bit about what happened before Earth's destruction. After the story, Zakaros says well, we know that he destroyed Earth and he's probably heading for the galaxy's core now - I just hope the others are okay. Runo's Mom is busy making coffee and serving it to everybody as then, a BakuGod scouts says Lord Daedathron, we have an incoming sighting of the HighGod army as Aldolphio says I can sense them as well. Daedathron says I didn't think they were coming this way - we have to get the people to safety. Daedathron then calls out loudly, listen all of you - I know you have many questions but we need to get you all to safety so please, follow me and the rest of us as some of the humans are, of course, objecting. However, a kid Brawler says everybody - there's a really big army coming this way as the objecting humans say on second thought; women and children first as they all start running, human and Bakugan alike. Daedathron then notices Zakaros is staying behind with the others in his group and says come on Zakaros but Zakaros says you go on ahead; I need to scout out the situation as Miyoko says be careful. Zakaros says I will and I'm truly sorry for everything that has happened to you. As he leaves to a nearby hill with plenty of cover, Masquerade says hey, wait up - not all of us are hares. Those who have Bakugan out recall them and head with Zakaros as Daedathron just watches but says all right but be careful as he leads the Earth people in. Zakaros and his group then crawl up the hill and can get a perfect view of the coming fight as he sees the HighGods almost here and then, in the far distance, he sees Barodius' Mechtogan allies - indicating the DarkGods are almost there as well. Hydron says well, this certainly changes things as Zakaros says with those Mechtogan on Neotaro's side - the HighGods will have a difficult time combating the DarkGods. But then, Atrion says I don't think that will be a problem - look as everybody looks at a part in the HighGods lines. In those lines are about half a dozen Mechtogan as well being pulled by Bakugan with chains as part of their bodies. Blakai says hey, those look almost like the Mechtogan we saw in Mechtros Zakaros as Zakaros says yes, they are and that means, this battle they are going to have is going to be more dangerous now. Sid says what's the plan fearless leader as Zakaros says I have no choice now; I have to make a move now or I'll never get another chance to stop the War before it is too late. Meanwhile, back in space, Sivac is looking at his army and how the number has diminished due to the Brawlers interference and Calthor's own disregard for his army However, he smiles and says I like it but we can always do more - he holds his arms out and suddenly, he creates several hundred Bakugan at will - different shapes, sizes, colors, forms - althought, a lot of them are really mismatched because of Sivac's inexperience with actually creating Bakugan. The others are completely amazed but Tivala looks on and says this doesn't appear to be like him - he is very refined and skilled with this creations; these look more like the designs of a youngster. However, Florida, Jin, Shiori and Professor Clay are amused and honored Sivac/Calthor for his many creations. Sivac then says now that we have all Bakugan on our side - Professor Clay, destroy the Mechtogan now. Everybody is a bit shock, even Tivala who knows the Mechtogan have been one of their strongest forces of powers. Professor Clay says Master, the Mechtogan have served us well, even Mag Mel's Mechtogan but Sivac grabs him by the throat and says you dare question me. Clay struggles and says no, not at all but then, Mag Mel's Mechtogan say but we do as they crowd around Sivac. Sivac looks at them, lets go of Clay and says you dare to challenge me as Deezall says we're served you as repayment for releasing us from captivity and you think you can destroy us so easily. Sivac says yes, I can or at the very least - send you back to the icy prison you were stuck in. He continues by saying or maybe, I can send you to the Doom Dimension and you can turn to stone and rot. Miserak says thanks but no thanks as he opens up and fires and the other Mechtogan do the same. Clay says Master, hold on as he reprograms the artifical Mechtogan and they open fire on the sentient Mechtogan. However, Sivac pushes them back and says stay out of this Clay or you'll be next as he uses his staff and takes out a card. Braxion asks what is that as Sivac says this happens to be a Doom Card, really old if you ask me, but I think with a little charge of dark energy - I think I'll go with option 3 and send you all to eternal prison. He transfers some of his power into the staff and in turn, into the card and makes it work. He then throws it down and it opens a large dark portal to the Doom Dimension. Sivac then says Vortex Pull and causes the portal to pull the Mechtogan in. They try to fly away but they can't as one by one - they all enter the Doom Dimension for eternity. Venexus is the last one and as he resists, he says we will not rot and turn to stone - we will find you and destroy you as he gets pulled in. Sivac says I seriously doubt that as he picks up the Doom Card and the portal begins to close. However, he throws the card into the portal and it ends up in the Doom Dimension as well, saying it is now powerless - no point in keeping a dead weight as the portal disappears. The others are in complete shock at what transpired and Sivac says you as he points to Shiori who stutteringly says yes sir. Sivac says get these forces moving and but then, he hears a laughing in his head and stops. Tivala asks what is wrong Master as Sivac doesn't answer but inside his mind, Sivac is looking around. He yells out who's there - show yourself as then, Calthor appears in his new form and looking quite good. Calthor says honestly, I wouldn't have done that yet but for style, I certainly am impressed. Sivac says no, you can't be here - I took over your mind and your body; there's no way you can be living - impossible. Calthor says did you really think that I didn't know what you were doing - ever since you started implanting your so called thoughts and suggestions in my head as he taps his head with his finger, I knew you were planning to take me over. He continues by saying however, I didn't stop you because I knew you could channel darkness a lot more efficiently than me so I let you change my body to make me stronger and in the end, my goal was complete. He then says however, that does not excuse what you are doing as Sivac says but you got nervous, you became stressed with the mistakes you made - that should have weakened your mind. Calthor says you are correct, I did make a couple mistakes but do you really believe I was that distraught - you really are a fool but there is a mistake I did make that unlike your previous master, I intend to correct as he comes forward with a very stern look. Sivac says you know you can't lie to me and I've had no other master as Calthor says are you sure you aren't talking about yourself, which causes Sivac to get a little bit more uneasy. Calthor then gets a really stern look on his face and says while you claimed to be controlling me - I scanned your mind from within; I must say, you certainly look mighty young for a Bakugan belonging to the legendary Scimizak; that surprised me. Sivac says it shouldn't but I don't serve that fool anymore or you; I serve myself and myself alone as he charges. Calthor says how wrong you are as he fires a blast of attribute energy lightning and shocks Sivac, causing him pain. Outside, Sivac is showing the lightning effects as everybody wonders what is going on but then, they see a dark orb coming out of Calthor. They realize that it's Sivac, who is now frightening and is trying to run away but then, he gets grabbed by Calthor, back in control of his own body and mind. Sivac struggles and says please, give me another opportunity - I won't be betray you again. But Calthor says by your own admission - you said you serve no one so in other words, you're fair game as he squeezes hard and Sivac oblierates into a million pieces of darkness while screaming no. Tivala says Master, what happened as Calthor says Sivac betrayed me as I thought and I let him do so - as much as a Darkus Bakugan is a loss to me, I can absorb his essence and no longer need a Darkus Bakugan. He does so as Well Galow says you know, I never really trusted him as Calthor says don't worry; you five have proven your loyalty to me so you are spared. He also says I do apologize for those actions; it is a shame that sentient Mechtogan are gone but even so, Sivac's numerous Bakugan army will serve me. He then says now that I've recovered, onward we go as they start flying towards the galaxy's core with one less bad guy on the list. The scene now shifts back to Avagan, where Daedathron has just arrived back in the city where the humans and Bakugan are beginning to see where they are. Maki Masaki says well, this certainly is a nice place as Shinjiro says yes it is - wonder if there is pudding anywhere. Miyoko however, is worried about what Zakaros and the others are doing and even more about Dan and Drago. Miyoko walks up to Daedathron and says you are going to go back there soon aren't you as Daedathron says he should be back soon so I trust him. Miyoko however, doesn't look so confident as she asks you know, you have millions of people here - you could probably take those armies down easily; why don't you. Daedathron stops and says my people have caused all these mortals so much pain - what we are doing is making sure that we don't put you at risk again. Miyoko says there's a thing we have on Earth - it's called patriotism; fighting for our friends and family - we could help you. Daedathron doesn't answer as he walks to the command center with Miyoko looking on but you can tell she's thinking of a plan. In the command center, Tsurambo, the Attribute Masters, Marnitac, Zarodius and the others are viewing the battle from afar. Daedathron says what's the situation as just then, Sanzu flies up and says not good at all. Daedathron is taken back but asks what is he doing out of his cage as Zarodius says I let him out - he agreed to provide us information on the War in exchange for leeway as Sanzu says now you're talking. Sanzu goes back to looking at the map and says back to the situation; you need to be prepared for what is coming. Zarodius says tell us what we need to know as Sanzu says all right, all right as he begins by saying you know that Neotaro has those Mechtogan under his command but the HighGods have a secret weapon – they captured some Mechtogan of their own and are using special BakuChain Bakugan to keep them restrained. Daedathron is shocked and says BakuChain Bakugan; I’ve never heard of them and our spies never found any such thing and plus, I never saw them at the recovery site. Sanzu says that’s a good question and here's a good answer; because only Maxoric knows of their existence; he created the BakuChain Bakugan himself and are quite powerful with their abilities. Marnitac says does this present a problem - it means that the battle won't be one-sided as we previously expected. Daedathron says yes, it means more devastation to the land than expected. Just then, a flute is sounded as then, the Bakugan Baraxx is travelling with arrival in Avagan and start crashing into things due to the speed not stopping. Baraxx falls on a food cart with a pumpkin on his head and says ow, that one hurt as Ikarus now you see why I was never used in battle. Everybody is in shock as Tsurambo says Baraxx, is that really you as Baraxx says yes, it's me but I don't have time to chit-chat or sight see - where is Zakaros. Daedathron says Zakaros isn't here as Tsurambo says what do you mean, he isn't here. Daedathron says he is back at where we picked up the humans, which causes Tsurambo, Carta, Wistorn and the Attribute Masters to get a bit frightened as Tsurambo says you fool, why did you leave there. Daedathron says he just merely wanted to scout and see what was going as Tsurambo says do you realize what he could do or cause - we have to get to him now before it's too late. Baraxx says hey Ikarus, think you can get us there as Ikarus slowly gets up and says yes, but first - I must write this down as he takes out a parchment and writes everything in a second. He then says done, let's go as everybody hurries with Tsurambo says come with me, Daedathron - you're going to help us stop him as Daedathron says from what as Tsurambo says from destroying himself as they fly as fast as they can. Meanwhile, back at their safe zone, Zakaros and his friends continue to look over the horizon as they see the two sides getting closer and closer, almost preparing to meet for the upcoming final battle. Atrion looks over at Zakaros and says we're gone what you're going to do - I say it's risky as Masquerade says my kind of mission. Blakai asks are you sure you want to do it this way as Zakaros puts the completed Master’s Amulet around his neck and says was there ever any doubt as he spreads his wings and flies towards the field. The others start moving closer and closer to the battlefield on foot so they can help if need. The scene now shifts back to the battle field as the DarkGods and HighGods then meet up and are at a standstill. Both sides jeer and jest at each other as Neotaro takes his place at the top of his battle machine. However, he then throws Trianic and Gravi Norm and gets on him, saying this is the only war machine I need as Trianic says yes, thank you sir. On the other side, Maxoric does the same with Tornador and Dagger Odos as he says soon, we both will wipe out the enemies of the HighGods as Tornador pumps her fist into her palm and says gladly. On the DarkGod side, Barodius and his forces appear with their Mechtogan as he says we are ready to strike at them, partner. Neotaro sneers but says get ready as both sides lock in place. Then, the HighGod horn announces and Maxoric yells out release the Mechtogan and CHARGE! and both sides start to run towards each other with the BakuChain Bakugan releasing their prisoners and directing them toward the DarkGods. But just before they get into striking distance, a roar is let out that everybody hears and makes them stop dead in their tracks. Neotaro looks around and says why did you stop but then, some of the soldiers point up. He looks up in the sky as then, he sees Zakaros flying down at full speed. Zakaros then yells out loudly ENOUGH! and slams down on the ground hard, causing the ground to shake like an earthquake and a shockwave to push everybody back. He then uses his staff and attacks both sides with different elemental strikes and facts, from quicksand traps to small waterspouts. Tornador and Trianic both exclaim hidden excitement upon this sudden arrival as Neotaro says no, no, no – not you as Barodius also show utter displeasure at this turn of events. Maxoric says finally, my day has come as back at Zakaros, he brings out his arm shield, spreads his wings wide and says this War is coming to an end! The scene now shifts back to the Vestal Interceptor, where repair crews are struggling to get the ship back in working order, partly because of low spirit and morale. Gus says come on everybody - we won't get to the galaxy's core at this rate as some workers says what's the point anymore - there aren't any planets left to defend as Gus is left speechless. Back on the bridge, everybody is down but Marucho says come on guys - we can still put this out as he attempts to fix the communication system. But Shun is even almost giving up as he says give it a rest - we might as well go out in a flash of light. Suddenly, he gets slapped by Julie and says I can't believe you would say something like that as Shun finally gets angry and says well, it's true - we just lost our home like everybody else and soon, we'll lose the galaxy's core but then, a voice says over the loudspeaker not if I can help it, ninja. Everybody perks up as Marucho comes out looking messy and says I got in touch with Korborn. Spectra says reading you, Korborn as Korborn says I'm here at the galaxy's core setting up a defense - I'm sending coordinates now. They get sent as Korborn I know things are hard but we have a final battle ahead. (End of episode)
