Synopsis
On the way to her secret headquarters, Mira tells the still-distrustful Dan, Marucho and Drago why she has chosen to fight her own people by forming the Bakugan Battle Brawler Resistance. Seeking a solution to their society s overpopulation problem, the Vestal King sent ships to colonize New Vestroia, capturing and enslaving the Bakugan in the process. The colonists developed a passion for Battle Brawling, building huge stadiums for their matches. Mira was a fan herself until the day she chose to visit her father, Professor Clay, a leading Vestal scientist. After witness her father torturing a talking Bakugan, Mira realized the Bakugan are sentient and organized the Bakugan Brawler Resistance to free them and send the Vestal invaders back home. Arriving back at HQ, Dan and Drago are challenged by Ace, Mira s top brawler. Threatened by Dan s skill and power, Ace is determined to prove the Resistance doesn t need his help. Dan and Drago are sure this will be an easy victory, but Ace and his Bakugan, Percival, prove to be worthy opponents. After a battle that rages all afternoon, Dan and Ace admit they are evenly matched and develop new respect for one another. It looks like the Bakugan Brawler Resistance has some new recruits!

Production notes
Dan and the brawlers are back with a more powerful team. Life on New Vestroia has been peaceful until the Vestal people invade, capturing and enslaving the Bakugan in ball form. Drago, who is maintaining the perfect core in New Vestroia, can do nothing but watch his friends fall. With the aid of the Six Ancient Soldiers, Drago returns to earth to find help from his old partner Dan.
