Bakugan New Vestroia: Mira in New Vestroia (a Bakugan Fanfic)

Chapter 18: Hydron's Return

---

Park – Earth Brawlers.

The sun shone brightly over the park as the Earth Brawlers reunited after their return from New Vestroia. Dan stood at the center, Drago resting on his shoulder in ball form, while the others formed a circle around him.

Dan: "Alright, guys. We've been through a lot in New Vestroia, but Zenoheld isn’t done with us yet. If we’re gonna stand a chance against whatever he's got planned, we need to step it up."

Runo: crossing her arms, Tigrerra perched on her palm "I don’t know, Dan. We just barely caught our breath. Maybe Bright was right about taking it easy for a bit."

Bright: leaning against a nearby tree, flipping Leonidas in his hand "Rest is one thing, but being rusty when the next fight comes? That’s a no-go for me. Besides, Leonidas is itching for action."

Leonidas: speaking from ball form "Only if there’s someone worthy to face."

Marucho: adjusting his glasses, Preyas in his pocket "Well, perhaps we can work on team strategies today. It's been a while since we’ve coordinated against real opponents."

Julie: enthusiastically clapping her hands, Gorem standing nearby in his ball form "Sounds good! We can start with some light matches to warm up. Right, Gorem?"

Gorem: calmly "If that is what you wish, Julie."

Shun: coolly observing, Skyress resting on his arm "Light matches won’t prepare us for Zenoheld’s mechanical Bakugan. We need precision and discipline."

Skyress: nodding "Shun is right. We must treat each sparring match as though it were the real thing."

Dan rolled his eyes but smirked, clapping his hands together.

Dan: "Alright, alright, no pressure. Let’s just start with—"

A sharp, electric hum interrupted him. A swirling vortex of purple and black energy tore open in the air a few feet away, sending a gust of wind rippling through the park. The Brawlers tensed as a figure emerged from the portal, descending gracefully onto the grass.

Hydron: smirking arrogantly "So this is where the Earth Brawlers hide away? How quaint."

Dan stepped forward instinctively, narrowing his eyes.

Dan: "Hydron... Figures Zenoheld would send his lapdog to do his dirty work."

Hydron: chuckling, his Bakugan ball gleaming in his hand "I’m here to prove that Earth’s so-called ‘heroes’ are nothing more than a joke. Zenoheld sends his regards, Brawlers. Who will be the first to fall?"

Drago unfurled himself into his larger battle-ready form, his wings flexing as he floated beside Dan.

Drago: growling "We’ll show you just how strong Earth’s heroes are."

Dan smirked, his confidence shining through.

Dan: "You want a fight, Hydron? You got it. Let’s brawl!"

Hydron: snarling "Very well. But don’t cry when you realize just how outmatched you are."

The air crackled with energy as the field was set. Dan and Hydron took their positions, ready to engage in a fierce battle that would set the tone for the Earth Brawlers’ next challenge.

Scene: Outside the Town – The Resistance vs. the Vexos

The sun hung low over New Vestroia, casting a golden glow across the rocky terrain surrounding the town. Mira, Ace, Baron, and Keith stood together at the outskirts, their Bakugan in ball form, sensing an ominous presence nearby.
