At the end of the previous episode, Preyas got sent to the doom dimension. When Klaus leaves through a gate card, Marucho and Runo follow him as well, leaving the four others behind. Dan is worried about what’s happened to them and can’t reach them on his communicator. Drago tells Dan to calm down but Dan takes off searching through the castle. Shun, Julie, and Alice follow him. Julie is freaked out by a large painting of some old man.

Marucho and Runo are asleep on a bed when Tigrerra jumps out of Runo’s pocket and wakes her up. She wakes up Marucho and they both try to figure out where they are. Marucho remembers that he lost Preyas and Runo tries to contact Dan. She actually gets through briefly but the connection is quite bad (and loud!). Dan is annoyed at Runo and vice versa; Drago tells him to just give up on the argument.

Marucho thinks they are actually in a different castle: Runo points out that everything looks a little different. She wants to leave, but Marucho wants to save Preyas and convinces her that they have to search the castle for clues. As they leave their room, we see Masquerade and his five henchmen watching them on a security camera.

s01_e18The first room Runo goes into is completely empty. They reach what appears to be a dead end in a hallway (although it really looks like a mirror). Marucho finds a secreat passage and almost falls down to the basement (dungeon) but luckily Runo grabs a hold of him first. They both head down the stairs as Masquerade watches them. They find a door with a desk and computer inside and Marucho turns it on the entire fall falls away except for where they’re standing and we see a huge map of the world.

They see the rankings and power levels of all the Bakugan players in the world. They are amazed to see ones with power levels of 410 and 420 Gs. Dan doesn’t understand how that’s possible and Drago says that the Bakugan have evolved through battling in the human world. They discover that Drago and Tigrerra will evolve as they continue to fight. However, some Bakugan can absorb too much without knowing and then they are destroyed.

Dan realises that both Hydranoid and Masquerade said the same thing earlier and Drago tells them that someone will have to stop this evolution revolution, otherwise the ultimate Bakugan will exist. Marucho checks the computer and although the ultimate Bakugan doesn’t exist yet, the closest one is Hydranoid.

Masquerade appears, hovering in mid-air above Marucho and Runo and tells them that Hydranoid is indeed the strongest. Marucho challenges him to a battle but Julio shows up instead to fight. Runo really doesn’t like him and battles instead of Marucho. Dan tries to stop them and somehow ends up in the battle with Runo and Marucho.

Julio sets the doom card and the battle begins. All three (Julio, Dan, and Runo) set their gate cards and Runo opens with Siege. Julio plays Fear Ripper and Dan throws in Robotallion (320). Julio responds with Tentaclear (370) with the Flare Blinder ability card.  Dan tries to open his gate card, but it’s been nullified. Robotallion gets sent to the doom dimension.

Julio starts back with Tentaclear again and plays the Mega Flare Blinder ability card, adding sending Siegeto the doom dimension. Dan is waiting for Julio to play his last ability card before he beats him.

Julio opens with Centipoid this time and Runo responds with Griffon. Julio brings Tentaclear back again and activates Haos Stasis adding 100 Gs to Tentaclear’s power level and gives him back his two used ability cards. Tentaclear is now at 570 and Griffon at 420, so Griffon gets sent to the doom dimension.

s01_e18_2Dan’s finally ready to play and beings with Ravenoid and the Shatterscratch ability card. Fear Ripper drops to 280 and Ravenoid is at 330, expecting to win. Julio opens his Final Judgement gate card and drops Ravenoid to almost nothing when Runo plays her ability card and throw Tigrerra (340) into the battle. Unfortunately it’s too late and Ravenoid is sent to the doom dimension. She easily defeats Fear Ripper.

Julio plays Tentaclear again; Runo plays Tigrerra again; Julio opens the Reloaded gate card and steals 100 Gs of power from Tentaclear for Centipoid (440). Runo activates her ability card and brings Drago into the battle raising the pair to 720 Gs. They easily beat Centipoid. The battle is finally tied.

Dan plays Drago and Julio plays the Energy Merge gate card, which starts dropping Drago’s power immediately and increasing Tentaclear’s. Drago ends up at 280 but then starts to somehow increase power. However they both start increasing. Runo activates her ability card and brings Tigrerra into the battle. Julio plays Mega Fear Blinder again and it seems Tentaclear will win. Drago starts to evolve then and there and Dan activates the Boosted Dragon ability card – Drago easily beats Tentaclear and the Brawlers win the battle.

The fight ends and the three of them end up back in the original mansion where Julie and Shun were waiting. Back on the plane they tell Alice what’s happened and the group decides they still have to stop Masquerade before he finds the Infinity Core. Dan and Shun are pretty confident they can get one of their Bakugan to be the ultimate one before Masquerade.
