Plot[edit]
Alice finally returns, and her memories are all hazy as to where she has been. As Runo comforts her, Alice says she feels like she has become a different person. After all, the Brawlers withdrew Alice from their suspects list on who is leaking information to Masquerade about them. Over at Dan's House, the Brawlers are watching the news reports about all the strange weather events occurring around the world. Suddenly from out of the blue, Joe is challenged by Masquerade (again) to a battle for control of the Infinity Core. Dan's decides to take on Masquerade in Joe's place, because Drago has evolved into an Ultimate Bakugan. Meanwhile at Runo's house, when Runo's mom was checking in on Alice, she discovers that Alice has disappeared (again). Dan meets Masquerade at Dome Stadium to battle. The others realize that it will be a tough battle between the first and second ranked brawlers. When the battle begins, the Brawlers learn that Dual Hydranoid has evolved into Alpha Hydranoid and Masquerade learns that Drago has evolved into Ultimate Dragonoid. The battle wages on and neither side is giving way, but the battle arena is slowly being destroyed by the clashing powers of the two powerful Bakugan. In the end Dan and Drago win. Masquerade finally sees that you don't always have to win and Dan asks him to join the team believing that they can help in the battle against Naga. But in a final twist, just as Masquerade is about to shake Dan's hand, he stops. Lifting his hand up to his mask, Masquerade tells Dan that joining the team wouldn't work out and he pulls off his mask. As Dan and the other Brawlers look on in shock Masquerade's hair color changes from yellow to red and falls down to rest at her shoulders. Masquerade has finally been unmasked and his identity is none other than... Alice!
