Plot[]
Julie Makimoto and Marucho Marukura are out shopping when they see Dan Kuso buying a necklace. They assume it is for Runo Misaki. Later on Webmaster Joe Brown arrives at Runo's cafe and lets the Brawlers know that Masquerade, has been taking down the Top Ranked Brawlers, and sending their Bakugan to the Doom Dimension. The Brawlers then devise a strategy to take down Masquerade, but it backfires when he visits Dan, demanding they brawl. Against the other Brawlers' wishes, he accepts the challenge. With Delta Dragonoid on Dan's side and the newly evolved Dual Hydranoid on Masquerade's side, the brawl becomes intense. Unfortunately, Dual Hydranoid beats Drago and sent him to the Doom Dimension. Before Drago was fully sucked into the Doom Dimension, Dan ran after him and put his life in risk; all for saving his friend. Will Dan return or become trapped in the Doom Dimension forever...?
