'''Balista''' is a [[BakuFusion]] [[Bakugan]]. He can combine with [[Worton]] to form [[Volkaos]].

Balsita is a lizard-like creature that shows no mercy during battle. He is evil and enjoys watching other Bakugan suffer. However, he has a grueling respect for [[Worton]].

===[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]]===[[File:Screen Shot 2011-12-16 at 9.40.08 PM.JPG|thumb|185px]]Balista appeared in the [[Doom Dimension]] along with the other [[Nonet Bakugan|Nonets]], telling the evil [[Mechtogan]], [[Coredegon]], [[Slycerak]], [[Exostriker]], and [[Mandibor]] not to doubt Professor [[Worton]] (whom he refers to as "all-seeing" and "all-knowing").<ref>''[[Evil Arrival]]''</ref>

He and the other Nonets were freed from the Doom Dimension by [[Wiseman]]. He then fought the [[Battle Brawlers]] along with other Nonets but he barely battled since he didn't attack any of the Brawlers Bakugan. He helped summon the evil Mechtogan and was defeated alongside the other Nonets when they lost control of [[Mechtavius Destroyer]].<ref>''[[Wiseman Cometh]]''</ref>

In a few episodes, he was seen in ball form.<ref>''[[Mysterious Bond]]''</ref><ref>''[[The Prodigal Bakugan]]''</ref>

He and Worton fought against [[Radizen]] and [[Roxtor]] and fused into [[Volkaos]], but lost when Radizen and Roxtor formed [[Betakor]].<ref>''[[Combination Impossible]]''</ref>

Balista battled the Brawlers along with the other Nonets. He helped summon the evil Mechtogan and was defeated when Mechtavius Destroyer lost the battle.<ref>''[[Enemy Allies]]''</ref>

[[File:Screen Shot 2012-01-01 at 3.29.03 PM.JPG|thumb|185px|left]]He told the Nonet Bakugan that he didn't trust [[Wiseman]] and that he thought that Wiseman was using them.<ref>''[[Gunz Blazing]]''</ref>

Wiseman offered to bring him into battle with the [[Darkus]] Nonets, but he refused. This was so he could find out what Wiseman was hiding from the Nonets. After finding a secret door, he discovered [[Gunz Lazar]] tangled in vines of some sort.<ref>''[[Battle Suit Bash]]''</ref>

He battled the Brawlers along with the other Nonets. He then fused into Volkaos and battled [[Magmafury]]. He helped summon the evil Mechtogan and was later transported back to Wiseman's headquarters along with the other Nonets when Mechtavius Destroyer defeated [[Dragonoid Destroyer]].<ref>''[[Countdown to Doomsday]]''</ref>

Balista wanted to show Worton the secret room where Gunz was located. Worton then told Balista to forget what he had seen and to focus on the current situation. After saying that, he flew away and didn't see the room. Balista later battled the Brawlers along with the other Nonets and helped them summon the evil Mechtogan. He was later defeated when Mechtavius Destroyer lost the battle.<ref>''[[The Eve of Extermination]]''</ref>

He battled [[Aerogan]], [[Reptak]], and [[Fusion Dragonoid|Drago]] alongside [[Worton]]. They combined into Volkaos and won the first round, but were defeated by Aerogan and [[Dragonoid Destroyer]]'s combined attack.<ref>''[[Jump to Victory]]''</ref>

In his final appearance, he and the rest of the Nonets summoned Slycerak, Mandibor, and Exostriker. Later he tried to find out what Gunz knew about Wiseman but he was tricked by Wiseman and killed soon after Wiseman showed him his true identity, which was revealed to be Coredegon.<ref>''[[Enemy Infiltration]]''</ref>

Balista also appeared in several flashbacks.<ref>''[[Gunz Lives]]''</ref><ref>''[[Blast From the Past]]''</ref>

Coincidentally, these two moves are equivalent to each other in Pokémon. *In the anime, Balista was the first Nonet to engage at least one of the [[Battle Brawlers|Brawlers]] without help from another Bakugan.*In ''Battle Suit Bash'', he was shown to be able to see through walls with infrared vision in his ball form.*Balista, along with [[Trister]], were the only Bakugan outside of the first season who narrated the preview of the next episode.
