Episode 5: Taste of Defeat

Plot:
First, it starts with Gus, Subterra Vestal member, before his transformation. He prays at a Helios altar and asks for a sign. Spectra comes and offers a position in the Vexos.
Meanwhile, Dan and Drago are relaxing on the beach, when Ace breaks everyone's bubble and orders the group to set sail for Alpha City. Meanwhile, Mira gives Dan the Scorpion trap, and explains the Resistance doesn't know much about traps yet.
Meanwhile, all the Vexos are at a secret meeting, where Gus criticizes them for failing their battles. Spectra allows Gus to attack the Resistance.
While Dan is outside, a mysterious figure (Gus) comes and asks Dan why he battles for the Resistance, leaving Dan puzzled and speechless. Gus leaves thinking that Dan is just an amateur.
The second time, Spectra sends Gus for a battle, that Dan accepts.
There's another flashback that shows when Gus passed his test into the Vexos, by actually standing up against Helios.
It's a tough match against Gus' Vulcan. Dan uses his trap, Scorpion, in a tight situation. The trap's ability to increase Drago's firepower seems handy for the battle. However, Gus sends out his own trap, Hexados, a worm equipped with lasers.
After a tough (and long) battle, Dan is defeated, but Drago is taken away. Gus, pleased that he won, walks away to tell Spectra.
Meanwhile, Dan's actually happy for the "best battle he had in his life."

Introduced Characters:
Humans- none
Vestals- Gus
Bakugan- Vulcan, Scorpion, Hexados

Episode 4: Marucho's Mission

Plot:
The episode starts with Dan and Baron in another one of their training sessions. Mira offers to participate this. Seeing this, Marucho is jealous and sad at the time.
Later, Mylene is furious at the Aquos Bakugan she racked up, calling them useless and simply disposing them. She sets off to find more Aquos Bakugan.
At night, Marucho sets off to find an Aquos Bakugan. He leaves with his own gauntlet, confident that it's going to be easy.
However, after a whole night of walking in the desert, Marucho feels depressed, until he sees a forest. Suddenly, he finds a forest and a Bakugan. When he leans in for a closer look, he springs a trap!
Dan and Ace have a fight meanwhile. Ace accuses Marucho of being a ditcher, but Dan is confident that Marucho is going to come back with an Aquos Bakugan. Mira says there are more important things currently, and orders the team to set off.
It turns out the Bakugan was Elfin. She wasn't friendly to Marucho, until she realized that he knew Preyas (who sounds different.) It turns out he was popular with all the Bakugan, and they
were all sad when he was taken away, leaving Elfin to protect the Wontu in the forest. Marucho hears this and offers to become Elfin's partner. However, Elfin isn't satisfied with Marucho, until he passes the tests, which he fails miserably.
Things are starting to get bad for Marucho until Mylene starts attacking Elfin's forest. Elfin agrees to team up with Marucho temporarily to stand against Mylene.
A battle ensues, in which Elfin defeats 3 of Mylene's Bakugan using her ability to change attributes, resulting in her life gauge to be reduced to 50. However, Mylene is confident and whips out her ace, a trap called Tripod Theta. It was an extinct Bakugan, until revived by Vestal science. She strikes out with her Stug and Clawcer, putting the game at 3 to 1. Mylene takes advantage of Tripod Theta's ability to drain the powers of Aquos, Ventus, and Darkus, and is about to take Elfin.
Elfin is about to be crushed, but Marucho, who was knocked prone, used a defense ability at the last moment. Mylene still thinks she's going to win, but is stopped by a Ventus brawler.
Mira sees a light, the sign of a battle, and follows it. She arrives just in time to see Tripod Theta being defeated by the mysterious brawler. Mylene offers him to join the Vexos, but the brawler doesn't talk. Mylene takes that as a no and leaves. The brawler says nothing and leaves like a ninja (could it be Shun?) Mira wonders if the brawler was her brother.
Marucho wakes up and looks for Elfin. He's afraid he lost her, but it turns out she was looking for water to give him. She tells him the test he took previously weren't official, and the real test was finding out if Marucho had trust in his partner, as Preyas always said that the most important thing between a brawler and his partner was trust. Elfin tells him he passes the test and she will be his partner. However, she still wants Marucho to be slightly more fit, and orders him to do 50 push-ups. With Marucho having a new partner, the group heads to Alpha City...

Bakugan Altair

To all viewers I make an earnest plea. I would love it if someone found a Bakugan Aquos Altair. If you do, please comment on this post. Thank you.

Episode 3: Get Psyched

Plot:
Dan and Marucho are trying out new Vestal uniforms. Mira gives Dan various other Bakugan to use in battle. Baron begs to become a student of "Master Dan." Dan accepts.
During training, Dan informs Baron that the most important part of the battle is getting psyched or excited about it. While he and Baron repeat it constantly to get it into their head, a Vexos spy droid spys on them.
Prince Hydron notices the Resistance, and orders Spectra to send Mylene to destroy the Resistance. However, a new member, the Darkus master, Shadow, tags along and offers to drive the hovercraft.
During training, Baron breaks down and says he's responsible for losing Tigrerra and he's not worthy to be taught by Dan. Mira tells Baron that unless he can prove himself, he should just quit the Resistance. Baron and Dan are about to complainm when the group spots a ship in the sky. It makes several spectacular loops in the air, before crashing, or better used in a situation like this, demolishing, the ground. A very confused Shadow comes out, and as punishment, Mylene forces him to do the battle.
Dan offers to fight, but Baron is forced to by Mira to prove himself. He has a tough fight with Shadow, who plays an ability card that forces him to battle. His first 2 Bakugan are defeated and his life gauge has 50 G's left. However, he refuses to play Nemus.
Dan realizes that Baron needs support, and the Resistance orders Nemus to tell Baron how he feels. Nemus tells Baron that "he can't win a battle if he doesn't battle at all." This encourages Baron to throw Nemus on the field.
Shadow sends all his Bakugan on the field, but Baron reveals his Ace, a card that shifts G's. Nemus gets all of Shadow's Bakugan's combined power level and Baron reduces Shadow's life gauge to 0, and frees 3 Bakugan in 1 battle.
After the fight, Baron has regained confidence. Meanwhile, Mira explains to Dan she saw her brother on the day she witnessed Hydranoid being tortured. She says he disappeared and she knows that he's fighting to free the Bakugan. Baron makes a joke tells the duo to hurry up, or he'll take charge, which Dan and Mira laugh at. The Resistance sets off...

Rules of Bakugan: New Vestroia

The rules for Bakugan in New Vestroia has changed dramatically.

1. There are now only ability cards, which serve as gate cards too. Two abilities can be played at once. Extremely strong Bakugan, like Neo Dragonoid, can play triple abilities.
2. A Bakugan can be anywhere in the battlefield.
3. Instead of a Doom Dimension like in the old episodes, a Bakugan is taken if it's defeated by over 500 G's.
For example: Subterra Wilda with 850 G's defeats a Haos Freezer with 300 G's. The Freezer is lost by the opponent.
4. There's now a life gauge which drains depending on how many G's you are defeated by.
For example: Aquos Elfin with 600 G's defeats a Ventus Atmos with 350 G's. The loser loses 250 G's in a life gauge.
The life gauge has approximately 500 G's.
Once the life gauge reaches 0, you lose.
5. A gauntlet must be used to play.
To activate a battle, the players yell, "Gauntlet, Power Strike!"
6. The ability cards had a makeover and are fancier.
7. Ability cards must be inserted into the gauntlet to play.
8. A trap Bakugan can be used once per game. In the show, it serves as a partner monster. In the strategy game, it changes a Bakugan's element or gives it a boost.
9. Defeated Bakugan can be reused.
10. When two Bakugans collide when thrown, the Bakugan with higher G's wins.

That's it. I'll update this as much as I can. I'm incorporating some of these rules for my own Bakugan games.

Episode 1: Invasion of the Vestals

Plot:
It starts with Dan narrating about his past glory with the other Brawlers and how the other Bakugan were released into Vestroia.
Meanwhile, some of the Bakugan were wandering along, notably Sirenoid, a prominent Bakugan in the first season. All of the sudden, machines landed on the ground, turned the Bakugan into spheres, and sucked them away.
It's later explained that a group of people named the Vestals landed on Vestroia. Some loved the Bakugan they found there, and started the Resistance. The majority started enslaving the Bakugan on the planet, and built the machines earlier. An elite organization was made called the Vexos, made up of one master for each attribute.
Dan gets a vision of Vestroia, but passes it off as nothing.
Later, Spectra, the leader of Vexos and Pyrus master, was fighting with his guardian, Helios. A resistance rookie, Baron, tried to hold him off. However, he ends up losing Blade Tigrerra, a very important Bakugan in all the former seasons. Spectra reports this to the leader of the Vestals, Prince Hydron...
Later, six legendary soldiers of Vestroia, one for each attribute, gathered around the core that kept Vestroia in balance, the Perfect Core. Drago, Dan's partner, was the core itself. However, Drago allowed the soldiers to seperate him from the core, so he could get help in the human world against the Vestals. In the process, Drago becomes a weaker form called Neo Dragonoid.
Meanwhile, Dan, Marucho, Runo, and Julie, four of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers, were gathered until interrupted by Drago falling through the sky. He informs them of the crisis on Vestroia and tries to sneak off with Dan alone into the portal to Vestroia. Marucho overhears and comes with them.
Two members of the Resistance, the leader, Mira, and the hotshot, Ace, detect Dan, Marucho, and Drago landing on Vestroia. Mira arrives to check it out and finds two of the Vexos, Lync, Ventus master, and Volt, Haos master.
Together, Mira teaches Dan the new rules of Bakugan. Dan manages to take down the Vexos and save Mira's guardian, Wilda. Mira realizes Dan and Marucho are two of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers that helped to make New Vestroia.
In the end, Mira wonders whether the Resistance will stand a chance against the Vexos with Dan with the Resistance...

Introduced Characters:
Humans- Dan, Marucho, Runo, Julie
Vestals- Mira, Ace, Baron, Prince Hydron, Spectra, Lync, Volt

Bakugan

Hi everyone! It's me Oliver. In the air of all the excitement of the Bakuneon and Bakugan: New Vestroia, which was released in Canada and rumored to air in America on May 9th 11:00 A.M., I've created a 4th blog for this purpose, with episode summaries and new releases of Bakugan.
Well, some of you may be wondering what is Bakugan. It's a show originating from Japan, which has become so popular, it's been turned into a popular game! The game involves marbles and magnetic gate cards.
For those of you who know what Bakugan is, I hope you'll be entertained reading the news I 'm posting weekly about Bakugan.
I'll see you soon!
