One day, [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] prepares for a brawl against [[Akira]], at the park. However, he arrives only to find that [[Shuji]], Akira's older brother, is his challenger. During their second battle, a [[Pyrus#Generation 1|Pyrus]] [[Dragonoid (Generation 1)|Dragonoid]] appears. A battle ensues and during the course of the battle, Dan has a vision of the Dragonoid struggling against a [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]] [[Fear Ripper]]. The battle continues and Dan is victorious. The Dragonoid starts to explain what's behind the scenes of [[Bakugan]], and from that point onwards, the [[Battle Brawlers]] realize that Bakugan is more than just a game, and must save [[Earth]] and [[Vestroia (Generation 1)|Vestroia]] from destruction at the hands of the tyrannical [[Naga]].
