-Break Line-

"Make sure he doesn't overdo it Mrs. Kuso" said the doctor.

Miyoko nodded "Of course doctor and thank you once again, come on Dan shall we?"

"It's not like I can walk…" said Dan as he crossed his around while sitting on a wheelchair. "Oh Daniel stop whining" said Drago who was sitting on Dan's right shoulder.

"Ah Drago you know how I hate doing nothing!" whined Dan while the Doctor and Miyoko laughed a bit before leaving.

"Marucho got Kato to pick us up" said Miyoko. Dan smiled "Great I can't wait to go back home – hey wait where is everyone?"

"It's a surprise" said Miyoko with a smile while Dan was pouting all the way back home. Kato landed the private jet on top of Marucho's home which Dan was a bit confused.

"Hey I thought we are going home" said Dan as his mother wheeled inside. "Oh we are but…it would seem I have forgotten something here" said Miyoko.

"You are up to something mom" murmured Dan.

Kato lead them to several doors before leading to a double door. "Right this way Mrs. Kuso."

The moment the doors opened, Dan was startled from his friends shouting 'Welcome back!'

"Hey Dan sorry if we were not there to pick you up but Alice thought it would be a better idea to make a welcome back party for you while your mother picked you up" said Marucho.

"Guys…" said Dan before smiling. "You guys are the best!"

"No you are Danny and I am so glad you are well again!" said Julie happily before running to Dan's side and hugged him.

However Runo didn't like it one bit and marched straight to Dan's left.

"Julie let go of Dan! Let him breathe!" snapped Runo before grabbing onto Dan's arm. Julie pouts before pulling Dan's right arm.

"Can it Runo! And let go of my Dan!" snapped Julie.

"Not again" murmured Shun while Marucho and Alice shook their heads. "A-A little help here guys" begged Dan who was barely hanging on.

Meanwhile in Vestroia, Apollonir and the other six legendary warriors were watching the young brawlers. "I see that young Daniel as recovered quite well" said Lars Lion.

"Yes the young Pyrus brawler is quite lucky to say the least" said Clayf.

"Don't you think it will be wise to tell young Daniel about it?" asked Exedra.

"Mm no not just yet" said Apollonir. "Let the boy rest and recover before giving him the news as it is quite overwhelming."

The other nodded before watching Shun and Marucho trying to separate Runo and Julie away from each other. Alice was wheeling Dan away from the chaos.

-Two months later-

"Bye mom, see you later!" shouted Dan as he ran out of the house. Miyoko looked up from her yoga position before shouting back to her son.

"Daniel, make sure you have Drago with you!"

"He is! Bye mom!" replied Dan before taking his bike from the garage and rode to the park. He jumped off from his bike and took a sit by his friend Marucho while Shun was sitting nearby a tree.

"So are we getting to go or what" said Dan excitedly.

"You bet" said Marucho. "We just need to wait for the girls before setting to Vestroia."

"I still can't believe that the legendary warriors made us protectors of Vestroia" said Shun as he jumped off from the tree. "I get Dan and Drago but us as well?"

"It could be for each attribute Shun" said Drago as he went to Dan's shoulder. "That could be possible Drago" said Skyress.

"I just can't wait to see how Vestroia looks like now" said Dan while Marucho nodded.

"Oh it changed big time" started Pyres as he started talking about a few places he been at.

As promised, some of the bakugan returned to earth to their partners where Dan, Shun and Marucho started making a place so they can battle in peace.

Each of them has a job to do.

Marucho was creating a data space, Dan and Shun were once again remaking the rules, Julie was going to be the announcer, Alice and Runo would make sure everything would be going smoothly.

In some breaks, Drago would go and see how Vestroia have been going. That's when Dan asked his partner if he could take along including the others.

"Hey guys sorry to keep you waiting!" shouted Julie before running towards Dan and hugging him. "Dan did you miss me?!"

Runo grit her teeth before grabbing hold of her friend. "Julie! Get your hands off of him!"

Julie pouted before holding onto Dan's arm and sticking out her tongue. "Make me!"

Dan looked over at Shun and gave him a plea for help face. Shun smirked before pulling Julie away from Dan "Can we just go to Vestroia?"

Julie and Runo pouted before agreeing. Dan laughed nervously before looking over at Drago. "Let's go Drago!"

"On it Dan" said Drago before opening a portal. Dan grin before jumping inside as his friends followed and the bakugan slowly transformed back to their original size.

"Wow" said Dan as he was sitting on Drago's head. "This is amazing! Man if Naga didn't have to nap me, my first visit here in Vestroia would have been awesome."

"Forget get it about Dan" said Shun as he was riding on Skyress. "That's all in the past and we have a job to do."

Dan nodded "Right, you guys look around while Drago and I see how Apollonir and the other are faring."

"Right Dan, let's go Pyres" said Marucho. The Aquos bakugan gave a salute before jumping to the ocean.

"Shall we?" said Runo to her Haos partner before they running towards a forest. "Hey wait for me! Let's go Gorem!" shouted Julie.

Dan, Shun and Alice laughed.

"See you in a bit Dan" said Shun. "Want to tag along with me Alice?"

The Darkus brawler smiled "Sure, let's go Hydra."

The Darkus bakugan nodded before flying with the Ventus bakugan. Dan watched before they completely disappeared.

"Come on Apollonir is waiting for us" said Dan. Drago nodded before flying up and disappearing into another portal.

Dan looked around to see that it was dark but in the middle was a circular sphere with six figures around it.

"Ah it's nice to see you two once again" said Lars Lion. "I see you are making your rounds?"

Dan nodded "Yup but so far I don't see anything wrong but I have to see what my friends have to say when we meet up again."

"So true young Daniel" said Frosch.

"I see you have gotten much stronger young Dragonoid" said Apollonir.

"Dan and I started training" replied Drago. "Well…in his own way that is."

"Well its working" said Dan before pouting a bit. "Was there something you guys wanted to tell us? All of you guys seem a bit tense."

"It's nothing to fear as of yet young Pyrus brawler" said Clayf.

"We will notify to you if it does but for now there is nothing to worry about" said Lars Lion.

Dan and Drago were not sure but nodding their heads. "Come on Drago let's go back and meet with the others, bye you guys!"

"Take care young Daniel and young Dragonoid" said Apollonir as Drago flow out. The Darkus warrior looked over at Apollonir "Why did you not told him about the Vestals?"

"Just as we said" said Apollonir. "They show they are no threat as of yet but if they do then we will tell Dan and his friends about it."

"Wise chose" said Frosch. "We must know our new…neighbors before attacking or it could lead to disaster."

"Let's just hope that Dan and Drago will be strong enough to face them when the time has come" said Apollonir. The others nodded.

-Vestroia, Brawlers Spot-

Drago took Dan to the same island the others used when they came to Vestroia to come and save him. It was there that Shun and the others made it their own spot in Vestroia.

Shun and Alice was already there. Dan smiled before jumping off from Drago's head. "Hey guys, did you find anything?"

Shun shook his head "Nothing as it should be Dan."

"The remaining bakugan are quite happy" said Alice happily.

Dan nodded before hearing his stomach growl and laughed nervously. "Um I guess I am a bit hungry."

Alice giggled while Shun shook his head. "Come on Dan there are some fruit here that you can eat" said Alice before grabbing hold to the brunette's hand.

It was not for a while until the others came as Dan jumped out of the tree and was tackled by Julie once again. Runo once again grabbed hold onto her and both started arguing again.

Dan laughed nervously before seeing Shun walking up away. He looked over at the girls and could see that Marucho and Alice had it under control before heading to Shun.

He looked around and spotted him looking over from a cliff.

"Hey Shun" said Dan as he took a sit at the cliff side. Shun nodded before looking back at the ocean.

"What's on your mind bro?" wondered Dan.

"Nothing…" said Shun before stopping himself when he saw Dan's face. "Alright…you got me."

Dan smiled "As I always do so what's up?"

"…I am having a strange feeling that something is going to happen" replied Shun. "Did the legendary warriors say anything to you?"

"Mm they did say something but Apollonir said it was nothing to worry about" said Dan. "…but I have a strange feeling there was something more…something that they are not telling me and Drago."

Shun closed his eyes "…I guess we just have to keep on coming over to Vestroia and make sure no new threat break these peace that the bakugan are enjoying."

Dan nodded "Yea…that means we have to get stronger to protect this place."

Shun smirked "It's no wonder that the legendary warriors chose you to be the guardian of New Vestroia…"

Dan frown "Aw come on man, it's bad enough that the bakugan bows to Drago and me back home but I need some space somewhere!"

"So I take it that you have not told the others about this as well" said Shun as he took a sit by Dan. The brunette nodded "They have no clue about that…it was strange that Apollonir came to my house and told us about that."

Shun nodded "It all happened about a month ago…"

-Flashback-

"What?" shouted Dan and Shun.

The two teens were sitting around at Dan's room when Apollonir came out of nowhere to bring out some unsuspected news.

"I-I…how can I be a guardian to New Vestroia?!" said Dan in shock. "I'm just 12 years old!"

"Said the 12 year old that have defended Vestroia from total destruction and being ruled by a crazy bakugan" said Shun with a smirk.

Dan glared at Shun before looking over at the Pyres soldier. "So…what do I have to do? You know being a guardian."

"Not much" said Apollonir before looking over at Drago. "I believe young Drago will help on that."

Dan and Drago at each other before Dan spoke. "Can me other friends join in to protect New Vestroia? I mean they did help out in the fight as well and…and save me from Naga when he came back."

"I see what you are coming from young Daniel" said Apollonir. "Very well, shall we inform your friends about their new states in New Vestroia?"

Dan and Shun nodded before going online to talk to their friends.

-Break Line-

"You have to tell them sometime Dan" said Shun.

Dan sighs and placed his hands under his chin. "I know but…it's the part how to explain it to them."

Shun snorted "Hey come on, it's not like you are becoming their ruler or something, right?"

"I guess" said Dan as he looked up at the sky. "We will protect the bakugan from whatever threat that is coming."

"Right" said Shun before looking down. "I have a feeling that Marucho and Alice need our help Dan."

The brunette looked down to see their friend Marucho on the ground while Alice was at the middle trying to part Runo and Julie.

"Remind me again why we have those two in the same room?" wondered Dan as he got up. Shun laughed "Because Runo and Julie have a huge crush on you."

Dan blushed before smacking his hand to his forehead. "Let's just go Shun…at least I am not hiding my feelings from a certain Darkus brawler."

Shun blushed a bit before grit his teeth. "Dan…"

Dan yelped before running over to the others and helped Alice break Julie and Runo apart.

-Break Line-

Me: 'sigh' well that is done with…for now that is

Dan: why is that?

Me: I sort of got a story request from a reader and I might soon update it very soon

Shun: how soon we are talking about?

Julie: so like you are really close – wait it is about us again?!

Me: 'wink' it is but a crossover but I will not tell you guys yet

Runo: rude

Me: 'glares' you want me to hurt you brat?!

Dan and Shun holds on to Egypt while Runo runs off.

Me: 'pout' could I at least hurt her just a bit?

Alice: can you just finish this AN Egypt, you are busy anyway

Me: 'frowns' you don't have to remind me about that…fine please leave a kind review and I want to hear from you guys if you want me to do New Vestroia in my own version

Dan: let us know in a PM or in a review

Shun: remember Egypt does not own bakugan

Alice: until then…
