This story begins a long time ago

when a strange event took place on earth.

No one quite knew what it was,

but 12 years after it, we made an amazing discovery,

a discovery that introduced us to beings

we never knew existed.

the Bakugan.

You wanna have a Bakugan battle?

Right now?

Ah. Eating here.

Yeah now.

Got a newsflash for ya,

this could change the fate of the world!

Huh? What's with this dude?

Talk about being a little overdramatic.

Dan, we've been challenged to a battle.

But he's babbling on about heavy stuff like "fate"

and "the world".

What do you think his deal is, Drago?

Only one way to find out. Battle!

Ha! Good point, pal.

Let's do this, Drago!

Bakugan Battle!

Drome Up!

What's going on?

Let's go! Now!

You're on.

- Bakugan brawl! - Bakugan brawl!

Tremble before the might of the great Nillious and I!

I shouldn't be surprised that

this weird masked dude showed up,

considering all the crazy stuff that's been happening lately.

Like that night we went to make a video to expose the truth

behind the Great Collision.

We weren't exactly supposed to be there.

Yep, Pin Point Park, secure.

Hurry up guys! It's almost time!

I just can't believe your parents let you out this late.

They didn't, buddy. They don't know.

Well, they will when we post this.

No worries. By that time, we'll be legends.

Ok, whatever we do, stay calm and quiet.

I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm calm!

I'm quiet, quiet, I'm quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet.

That's not helping!

Whoa!

Wha! Ah!

Ugh!

What! Do that again!

But with more slapstick.

Meet Lia Venegas.

Our director.

Remember that name. She'll be making real movies one day.

And that's Wynton Styles.

He's my best bud and our idea man.

Super ninja boy!

Hi-yah!

Okay, when I said "idea man", I didn't say "good idea man".

That's our dog, Lightning.

Don't know why we call him that.

He's not that fast and he's not all that bright.

But we love him anyway.

Now where was I?

Oh yeah, the Great Collision.

Amazing! This is probably what it looked like 12 years ago.

How would you know that?

We weren't even alive back then.

I was born on that day.

On the very same day as the Great Collision.

That was a scary day all right,

people thought it might be the end of the world.

The Great Collision was frightening,

but no one was hurt and there wasn't any serious damage.

Nobody really knows what happened that day

and we still don't.

And that's me. Dan Kouzo.

I'm the star of the show

who makes whatever my pals dream up look good.

Filming our adventures and posting them online!

We're the coolest team around!

That's us, the Awesome Ones!

Take your places, it's almost midnight.

Tonight, we're broadcasting live from Pin Point Park!

I'm standing at the "believed" epicenter of

the Great Collision.

Before the big commemoration ceremony, we, the Awesome Ones,

are gonna blow the lid off the Great Collision!

That's right!

We're going to prove to everyone that nothing actually happened!

Whoa!

- Surprise! - Happy Birthday, Birthday Boy

Huh? Wh-- What?

Are you kidding me, this is all for my birthday?

Dude the look on your face was classic!

But what about the truth behind the Great Collision?

This was about your birthday.

What?

Lia, tell me you got all that!

In full digital glory!

Wha!

Hey? What's going on?

My camera died.

Did you remember to charge it?

Of course I remembered.

Is this one of your dumb jokes?

My jokes are way dumber than that, thanks very much.

Yep. True that.

My phone's dead too.

So is mine. What's happening?

What time is it anyway?

I dunno. My watch stopped at exactly midnight.

Guys, listen to me,

it's just like what my mom told me happened right before the--

Great Collision!

- Run! - Run!

Whoa!

Huh?

That was seriously weird!

Let's--

Bakugan.

What did you say?

I didn't say anything.

Was that Lightning?

Was that you boy?

It really sounded like someone just said--

Ba-- Ba-- Bakugan?

Hey Dan, by your feet!

Yuck!

What is it?

Hey, it's working!

I need to get a good angle on this.

I think we figured out who that voice was.

Bakugan?

You're not gonna touch it, are ya?

Oh, he's touching it!

Ugh!

Gross. Really gross.

Ugh!

Don't tell me you filmed that.

Sure did.

I bet our fans are gonna love it!

Wha? Huh?

Wh-- What is this?

Whoa!

Huh?

Ah!

Awesome, yeah!

Check it out!

Um, that goop must've got inside his brain or something.

You okay?

Uh?

Oh snap! Not good!

Stop joking, cut it out you two!

Ahem?

It's so cool.

What is it?

Is it because of this?

Hmm, I wonder if there's--

Um, what are you doing?

I'm looking for more.

Me too!

Run!

- Ah! - Run the other way!

Um, guys, don't be afraid.

It's alright. I think it's trying to say something.

You have awakened me.

I'm Dan. Dan Kouzo.

And you're a Bakugan?

Yes. The name is Dragonoid.

And I'm your partner.

My partner?

Whoa!

Found one!

My Bakugan!

Me too! It's white and cool and goopy.

There's gotta be more of these.

Let's go look!

This is the craziest birthday ever!

Whenever you're ready!

Come at me!

Let's do this, Drago!

Bakugan!

Brawl!

Bakugan!

Brawl!

So, at this point,

maybe you're wondering, "Why are these guys fighting?"

"I thought they were friends."

Well, we are.

And we're not fighting.

We're making an Awesome Ones video.

Ouch!

Stop! Hold that pose!

It's your best side.

Ah! Wynton!

Okay, everyone together.

Bakugan rule! Yeah!

Alright, back to the action!

Drago, Twisting Inferno!

You got it!

That's pretty extreme!

- Hey! - What was that?

Don't ask me. It just sort of happened

Here, Trox!

Huh?

Weird.

It's like the different colors tiles have different effects.

We gotta tell everyone about this.

And that's when we decided to put our discovery

on the internet.

Making cool Awesome Ones videos

to share with our friends online.

But...

turns out we weren't the only ones to find

Bakugan that night.

Kids all over the world started reporting finding

their own Bakugan.

Funny thing was, no adults could activate them.

These colored tiles possess energy that can charge

a Bakugan during battle.

They can do cool things like give a Bakugan more power

or special abilities.

The effects on the depends on the color of the tile.

They're so great, calling them tiles doesn't seem cool enough.

I've got an idea.

How about we call them BakuCores?

Love it.

Anyway, The Awesome Ones are discovering

more and more everyday.

We're sharing what we learn with each other,

building a community.

But it turns out

it wasn't just friends who were watching our videos.

Bakugan!

Brawl!

Let's do this, masked dude!

It's Magnus.

Trust me, it's a name you're never going to forget.

Watch closely.

This is how Drago and I Bakugan battle!

Now Drago! Tail Smash!

Nillious, Pact of Darkness!

But how?

You already showed everyone that move online.

Shadow Breath, now!

Drago, no!

Dan, I need more power.

I need a BakuCore!

Nillious, let's stop that.

Bakugan brawl!

What's this?

Bakugan brawl!

Guys!

Can't let you have all the fun, Dan!

This guy does not look very pleasant.

Hey, you there in the mask!

How old are you?

Can you tell us who you're wearing today?

Are you a Capricorn or a Leo?

Why does any of that matter?

It's just that our viewers really want to know!

Viewers? You're recording me?

Stop bothering the nice man, Lia!

- Have a nice day! - Wynton! I'm not done!

Bakugan brawl!

Webam! Fangzor! Take them down.

Trox! Sonic Uproar!

Grr!

Oopsie. Went a bit overboard.

Ah!

Look out!

Ah!

What was that, Wynton?

Nice try, clowns!

This is bad. I need to get this BakuCore to Drago.

And I will.

Dan!

You're insane.

I'll deliver this by hand! Whatever it takes!

Whoa!

Here it is!

Ow!

Okay Drago! Hit Nillious with a Twisting Inferno!

Way to go, Drago!

Yay! Pegatrix, let's finish this!

Trox, take that spider out!

Go! Drago!

On it!

Hmph!

You need me to save you now?

No, Riot, they're mine!

Take a break, Magnus.

Are you serious?

I'll crush you all.

So, who are you guys? Magnus' buddies?

Kinda. We just came to check you out.

To study us? What for?

It's our job to come out and scout brawlers

we can use in the future.

The truth is that we were sent here to see if you chuckleheads

were good enough to join our ranks.

Join you? Why would we do something like that?

Don't worry. You didn't pass.

What? What do you mean?

We beat you fair and square!

You think you've won?

Don't make me laugh.

None of you understand the power you hold in your hands.

Your very existence is a threat.

You will not disrupt fate, get it?

Consider this a warning, Awesome Ones.

Stop posting your videos and keep your mouths shut.

Or next time we'll give you a real battle.

Do your worst, okay, tough guys!

And keep an eye out for the next video from The Awesome Ones!

We didn't listen to them.

We know it's up to us,

the AO, to get the word out.

But we also learned we can't control who watches our videos.

And that the Bakugan can be as good or evil as the person

who wields it.

Dan!

I'll deliver this by hand!

Whatever i

Whoa!

Hm.
