After three years of peace, New Vestroia is invaded by an alien race called the Vestals (led by their King Zenoheld). The Vestals force the Bakugan back into ball form as slaves for their amusement, not knowing that Bakugan are intelligent creatures. One by one, the original Brawlers' Bakugan are defeated and captured. Now being the last hope for New Vestroia, Neo Dragonoid is separated from the Perfect Core by the six legendary warriors, and heads to Earth in his restored body to reunite with his best friend Dan Kuso, now fifteen years old. The two leave for New Vestroia, with Marucho following along after overhearing Drago's plan to not involve the other Brawlers. After arriving in New Vestroia, Dan is confronted by Lync Volan and Volt Luster, two members of the Vexos, the top six brawlers among the Vestals. Just then, a girl named Mira, part of the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance, a group who knows the truth about Bakugan and fights to free them, arrives and tells Dan of the new brawling style for Bakugan battles. Dan manages to adapt to the new method quickly and Drago defeats the two Vexos easily. Lync tells Volt who Drago is and that he is the final item needed to complete Prince Hydron's collection of the petrified statue forms of the Brawlers' Bakugan. Mira also tells Dan and Marucho that the six Bakugan Brawlers are famous for saving Earth and Vestroia. With Dan, Drago, and Marucho there, Mira thinks that maybe the Resistance do have a chance of saving New Vestroia after all. | |||||

After the battle with Lync and Volt, Dan, Drago, and Marucho go with Mira to the Resistance base. Along the way, Mira reveals that only a few people of the Vestals realize that the Bakugan are intelligent creatures, while the rest of the people have not been told. She reveals that after discovering this for herself, and becoming outraged with her father for participating in the capturing of the Bakugan, she ran off and created the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance, joining with people who thought the same as she did. Upon arriving at the base, they meet Baron, a major fan of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers and the 6 Fighting Bakugan. Shortly after, another Resistance Brawler named Ace, highly disapproves of Mira bringing humans to aid in their quest to free the Bakugan. Instead, he challenges Dan to a battle, and says that if he beats him, he and Marucho can join the Resistance in their quest to save the Bakugan. Dan gets off to a rocky start, but he and Ace are too evenly matched. With one win and one loss for each, their battle ends in a tie and they become fast best friends. | |||||

But after Lync and Volt were defeated, Spectra Phantom sends out Mylene Pharoah and Shadow Prove to ensure that the Resistance is taken care of. The next day, in the middle of his training, Baron reveals he is discouraged after losing Tigrerra to Spectra in a battle, and says he isn't worthy of the lessons. Just then Mylene and Shadow crash land and Shadow is forced by Mylene to battle Baron. Baron is discouraged and is afraid of losing Nemus the way he lost Tigrerra. But, on the brink of losing Nemus for good, Baron pulls through and wins back three of Shadow's Bakugan. | |||||

Seeing how desperately he needs a partner to help Dan and the Resistance, Marucho takes his gear and heads out, in search of a Bakugan to battle with. At the same time, Mylene also goes hunting for Bakugan, after throwing away three she claimed useless. In the morning, Marucho meets Aquos Elfin, a Bakugan who turned out to know and have what might be a crush on Preyas. She explains that after his capture, she had to watch over the forest and protect the Bakugan living there from any harm. When Marucho asks to be partners with her, she at first declines because she claims to be "waiting for the right partner". But when Marucho explains that he needs her to help free the Bakugan (as this was what Preyas would have wanted) she says that if he passes her test, she will at least think about a "temporary partnership". As the testing goes underway, with Marucho not doing so well, Mylene flies over, and in fury, Elfin and Marucho demand she and the Vexos return the stolen Bakugan. Angered at how cruel Mylene is to the Bakugan she already carries (by throwing them away like trash), Marucho and Elfin challenge her to a brawl. Mylene, however, soon begins to show her skill and may end up winning Elfin as a new Bakugan. Just when Mylene is about to seize Elfin, a hooded figure wielding Ventus Bakugan arrives and saves Marucho. Mylene states that she's tired of losing to this hooded person and offers him to join the Vexos, but he leaves without saying a word and Mylene departs. Meanwhile, Marucho slowly awakens, despaired that Elfin was gone. But as it turned out, Elfin was merely off to find him some water, and then begins explaining how she couldn't let anything happen to her "goofy partner". In the end, Elfin and Marucho are partners, able to aid the Resistance in their journey. | |||||

Meanwhile, the Resistance makes a stop en route to Alpha City, where Mira gives Dan a Bakugan Trap called Coin Scorpion to help in his battles. Not much is known about the Trap Bakugan except that they are incapable or unwilling to communicate. Excited, Dan takes off to get in some training with Scorpion. Just then, Gus shows up and starts to mess with Dan's head, asking what he will gain from saving the Bakugan, leaving Dan with this question. He returns later, asking Dan what the answer is to his earlier question, and it is revealed that he is the number two brawler among the Vexos. Feeling confident, Dan decides to take him on, but is soon overwhelmed with the power of Gus' Bakugan Subterra Primo Vulcan and loses but does not care. | |||||

Prince Hydron is furious because he still needs Drago to complete his Bakugan collection, so Gus challenges Dan to a battle in an effort to capture Drago. The Resistance is planning to attack Alpha City, but Mira wants to take a short detour to find her brother. During the ensuing argument, Ace seems and sounds like he is worried about Mira going somewhere that might be dangerous, which shows that he may have romantic feelings for her. In the midst of the argument, Dan sneaks away with Drago to fight Gus and manages to battle well until Spectra joins in and Dan starts to struggle in the fight. Out of nowhere, Shun comes to his rescue. Shun beats Gus and Dan beats Spectra when Drago displays a massive power surge due to Helios' taunts about Tigrerra. Seeing that huge amount of power, Spectra shows a hint of betrayal when he says that he won't let the magnificent Bakugan become a play thing, meaning that he won't give it to Prince Hydron if he captures it. Back at the base, Shun explains that while he was in the mountains practicing ninja moves a portal opened up right in front of him and he got sucked through to New Vestroia. This is the reason why Dan couldn't get through to him back before Drago brought him to New Vestroia. After he rescues Ingram from the Vestals, he remained in his debt and the two banded together to free the Bakugan. As they make their way closer to Alpha City and the dimension controller, Dan asks Shun why he didn't reveal himself earlier when he rescued Marucho. Shun explains that he had something important to attend to. When they approach Alpha City, Shun reveals he will break into the city and find Skyress. | |||||

Dan then notices that Drago is crying and that if he doesn't stop Spectra from giving Drago so much power, Drago could die.

Also, Dan must throw Apollonir into Drago's chest, but if he misses, Drago's condition could worsen and Dan may end up killing Drago and New Vestroia may turn back into six separate worlds. Dan successfully launches Apollonir into Drago's chest and Drago falls, defeated, returning to his normal self. Dan and Drago are happily reunited while Spectra does not seem that affected by the loss, and only insists that things will be different the next time they meet. | |||||

With Mira returned, and the Resistance reunited, Dan and the others head for Prince Hydron's sky palace to free Skyress, Tigrerra, Preyas, Gorem, and Hydranoid from captivity. But before they can even get close enough, Hydron activates another dimension controller, causing the Bakugan to turn back into ball form. Quickly thinking, Shun grabs Mira and Marucho and grapples onto the top of a rising elevator and to safety. Down below, Dan, Baron, and Ace are saved just in time by their Bakugan. But before they can think of a way to get up to the palace, Spectra and Cyber Helios challenge them to a battle. As Dan and Drago struggle to fight back against the power Helios now possesses, Shun, Marucho, and Mira have managed to sneak into Hydron's throne room and discover the bronze statues of the five other Guardian Bakugan, just before meeting face to face with Prince Hydron himself. Meanwhile, Mylene, Volt, and Shadow order Dr. Clay to give them an escape off of New Vestroia, as the energy from the battle between Cyber Helios and Drago could destroy everything around them. Dr. Clay at first refuses saying that it would be treason, when Shadow reminds him he works for the Vexos now. Gus overhears their plan, but before he can warn Spectra, Lync hits him over the head and knocks him into a room, locking Gus inside so he can't tell Spectra of their plan. Back with Dan and Drago, Spectra, having underestimated the perfect core's power, has used the mechanical Bakugan he has to make Maxus Helios, a Bakugan who has all six attributes. Dan tries to use a combination of Ability Cards that tap into the Perfect Core's power, but still can't match Maxus Helios's power. Dan realizes he has no choice but to use the Bakugan he got from his battle with Mira to make Maxus Dragonoid, just as Spectra has again used the other six mechanical Bakugan on Helios. The two Bakugan face each other, preparing for the final battle. | |||||

Meanwhile, Mira, Marucho and Shun try to activate a machine to reverse the process of Preyas, Gorem, Tigrerra, Hydranoid and Skyress's petrification but are unable to determine the numeric code. Dan and Drago take to the skies to battle Spectra and Helios but the power coming from their battle is far too much and they crash into the palace. Mylene prepares for their departure from New Vestroia but not before tossing out Elico and Brontes, believing that Bakugan with feelings are useless and imperfect fighting machines, since Dr. Clay has already created many powerful mechanical Bakugan. Out of a stroke of luck, Elfin discovers the activation code, but with the palace's self-destruction under way it may be too late. | |||||

As Dan and Spectra continue their battle, and the self destruct sequence begins counting down, the rest of the six fighting Bakugan are freed from their prisons. As Shun and Marucho are reunited with Skyress and Preyas, the Bakugan in Dan and Spectra's battle suddenly return to ball-like states, and the battle ends in a tie. But CyberHelios wants to continue fighting, even if the battle is over. Cyber Helios and Drago engage just as Ace and Baron, riding on Percival and Nemus, meet up with Shun, Marucho, Mira, and the rest of the 6 Fighting Bakugan. As Cyber Helios and Drago battle, Spectra draws a blade, and forces Dan to battle him one on one. Before either battle can reach a conclusion, the Vestal palace explodes, barely giving Dan and Drago any time to escape as Spectra and Cyber Helios retreat with Gus, Brontes, and Elico (who were thrown out of the escape craft by Mylene). Gus immediately informs Spectra that the others left New Vestroia to blame the occupation's failure entirely on Spectra's betrayal. Spectra merely states that he never really planned on returning to the Vestal home world anyway. Meanwhile, the Resistance celebrates their victory of liberating New Vestroia and freeing the Bakugan. Mira, Ace, and Baron decide to return to their world to prevent the Vexos from ever returning to New Vestroia and enslaving the Bakugan again. The others decide to return to Earth with their Bakugan and the original fighting Bakugan, but Skyress declines the offer, saying that she can't bear to leave her home again and that Shun's future lies with Ingram. Right after Skyress leaves, Drago and Dan regrettably inform Marucho and the others that Drago cannot leave New Vestroia, as the Perfect Core is a part of him. But then Apollonir and the rest of the legendary soldiers appear and grant Drago freedom to live wherever he pleases, with the ability to go back and forth between the worlds as he wishes. With that, Dan, Marucho, Shun, and the rest of the Bakugan return to Earth. Various portals open up across the world, allowing Alice and Julie to reunite with their Bakugan. Dan arrives at Runo's family's cafe and tells her New Vestroia has been saved. Just as he believes Runo is about to run to hug him, she scoops up Tigrerra, reunited with her Bakugan as well. Highly embarrassed to Runo's hug, Dan yells at Drago to never speak of this again. Marucho and Shun walk in with their respective Bakugan, and Julie joins the group shortly afterwards. The original six Bakugan Battle Brawlers are back together again. | |||||

No longer able to hide from the Vexos, the brawlers realize they must now go on the offensive. They plan to storm the Mother Palace and directly attack the Bakugan Termination System instead of protecting the Attribute Energies. But without a working Dimensional Transport system or the coordinates to the Mother Palace, it at first seems there would be no way out for the brawlers. But Dan quickly realizes that they can find the location of the Mother Palace by convincing Spectra. The brawlers are hesitant, as Spectra will not likely be cooperative, and they have no way to contact him. Mira adds that there would be no way Keith would trust any of them. Meanwhile, the Vexos discover that someone has opened a portal to Earth from an entirely different universe. As Spectra makes his way to Earth, Dan and Drago admit how similar they are in both brawling abilities and lifestyles. When Runo interrupts the two for dinner, Dan and Drago are suddenly transported to Spectra's ship now that the former Vexos had broken through to Earth. Once there, Dan learns that Spectra needs the Perfect Core from Drago in order to make Helios the ultimate Bakugan. They strike a deal: if Spectra loses, he will take the Resistance to the Mother Palace, but if Spectra wins, Dan must willingly surrender the Perfect Core to Spectra. During the battle Spectra realizes that the only way Helios can defeat Drago is by using his own natural abilities and powerful will to survive and evolve. Eventually, Spectra's doubt in himself and his previous methods to perfect Helios leads to his defeat. Dan wins the fight and Spectra agrees to the terms of the bet. Everyone except Runo, Julie and Billy are transported to Spectra's ship, since he states that he would only allow the brawlers and Bakugan originally bestowed with the Bakugan Attribute Energies to go with him. As Gus prepares the ship for the transport, Spectra thanks Dan for enlightening him, and refers to him as 'my friend'. Feeling humiliated after his defeat, Helios begs Spectra to make him even stronger. Spectra agrees, saying he will use the data he received on Bakugan evolution from an anonymous source to bring out new powers and new abilities from deep inside the Bakugan. | |||||

Keith has easily settled in as the newest member of the Resistance, with the exception of a jealous Ace. Due to the failure of the BT plan, King Zenoheld abuses his son while Mylene tries to stand up for him. However, King Zenoheld rejects her until Hydron places the blame on Professor Clay. As this is occurring, Professor Clay discovers the secrets of the DNA code as well as where the phantom data transmission originated from. Meanwhile, Marucho analyzes the same data, as well as the one Keith received anonymously and discovers they are identical. Keith then suggests constructing Battle Gear for Drago. Drago vehemently opposes at first, feeling it would be wrong being part machine, but Keith assures him that the Battle Gear will be constructed from Drago's own DNA. This fact combined with the lasting Vexos threat changes Drago's opinion, but must undergo a battle to test the virtual prototype. They enter Bakugan Interspace and Keith volunteers to use Ventus Hawktor and Subterra Coredem to battle Dan and Drago, donning his mask and Spectra identity once again. When Dan equips the gear, JetKor, Drago struggles with it as his body rejects the DNA-incompatible equipment. However, Drago continues to push forward and wins the battle, but nearly passes out due to the amount of power needed to control JetKor. Fortunately, enough data was gathered to construct Battle Gear that would not harm Drago's body. Shun and the other brawlers hope that Keith finishes Drago's battle gear before King Zenoheld and the Vexos do. The episode ends with Professor Clay telling King Zenoheld he has begun making the ultimate weapon to use against the brawlers, with King Zenoheld giving his approval. | |||||

During the battle, Hydron implies that he wishes to leave the Vexos as well but since he feels they all do not have a choice, he is infuriated that Lync would leave anyway. Despite putting up a good fight, Lync is defeated and suffers the same fate as Volt. Before being completely dragged into the warp hole, Lync throws his glove at a cackling Hydron. After finishing cooking, Alice heads to find her grandfather and sees the aftermath, finding Lync's glove with the memory card. Alice gives the chip to her grandfather who insists they must show it to Dan and the others. When Keith asks how Alice found the data, she replied that Lync must have left it for her, but sadly adds that he may not be alive. Though the data suggests the Vexos Alternative System is incomplete, Keith states they will require the Bakugan DNA and Battle Gear data that they currently have, making them target for the Vexos once more. | |||||

King Zenoheld sends Mylene and Shadow Prove to collect the Brawlers' Battle Gear and Bakugan DNA Data so with the data the Alternative could be finished faster. Having followed Billy to Marucho's house prior, Mylene and Shadow have the exact location of the hiding place. Once they arrive, they are ambushed by the Resistance, but Mylene takes Mira hostage. Keith quickly agrees to give them the data in exchange for Mira, but instead he leads them into Bakugan Interspace. Despite Mira's attempts to change Mylene and Shadow's mind, a battle quickly follows between the four. Shadow is quickly and effortlessly defeated by Keith and MAC Spider is destroyed in the process. Mira soon defeats Mylene and destroys Macubass. Keith offers Mylene a place in the Resistance but she bitterly rejects and throws one of Hydron's grenades. However, it results in a portal opening in Bakugan Interspace causing it to collapse, causing Interspace to begin to shut down with the four of them still inside. | |||||

With Bakugan Interspace beginning to collapse on itself, Mira and Keith attempt to save their Vexos opponents, despite Mylene's wish to die rather than face dishonor. Before she can change her mind, she and Shadow fall into the Death Ball's portal while Mira and Keith are extracted from Bakugan Interspace safely. Meanwhile, King Zenoheld learns of Mylene and Shadow's fall and blames their loss, as well as the Resistance obtaining the Alternative data, on his son Prince Hydron, whom he has tortured as a result. Later that night, Hydron has a dream in which Volt and Lync appear to him and tell him to take down his father and take the throne for himself. Though frightened by the dream, it motivates him to fight against his father. Meanwhile, Zenoheld's Bakugan Farbros has been repaired and synchronized with the Alternative System. Hearing this, Hydron challenges his father. Though Hydron manages to win the first round, he is no match for Zenoheld's Assail Farbos. He loses and Zenoheld admits that they were never meant to be father and son and has Hydron imprisoned. While in his cell, the apparitions of Volt and Lync reappear telling him to overthrow Zenoheld. Hydron shouts he will defeat his father, while Gus, presumed to have been killed during his battle with Zenoheld, listens from another cell and smiles. | |||||

While imprisoned, Hydron discovers Gus is still alive, much to his shock. Meanwhile, Runo, Julie and Mira prepare a cake for Keith to officially celebrate him joining the Resistance. However, Keith's mind lingers elsewhere, something that Mira notices but Keith brushes off. Dan suggests that instead of waiting for Zenoheld's attack, they storm the palace. Keith, however, is too impatient and takes his ship to the Mother Palace on his own. A battle quickly ensues and Gus senses Spectra, so he tricks Hydron into battling so their Bakugan could free them from their cells. When Zenoheld corners Spectra, Gus arrives and joins the battle, giving them the upper hand against the king. Partway through the battle, Professor Clay informs Zenoheld that the Alternative System is complete and targets Spectra and Helios for a test fire. The blast, originating from a colossal airship modeled partially after Farbros, takes a huge chunk out of a small planetoid, with Spectra and Gus just barely escaping the impact. Farbros links with the Alternative System and King Zenoheld declares his quest for intergalactic domination. | |||||

With Keith having gone to the palace and having no way to find said palace, the Resistance are stuck. Luckily Alice and Dr. Michael arrive and use the teleportation signature left behind by Shadow and Mylene to backtrack to the palace. Meanwhile, Zenoheld continues his attack, forcing Spectra and Gus to retreat and come up with a plan of counterattack. The Resistance are saddened to hear that Tigrerra and Gorem do not wish to participate on the assault of the palace, as they feel they have reached their limits and would only result in putting Runo and Julie in danger. Therefore the Resistance, minus Runo, Julie and Alice, depart on their own, arriving to see Helios and Vulcan in trouble. However, the Alternative is far more powerful than any of them could have ever imagined, resulting in the group being slowly overwhelmed. Keith realizes that because Professor Clay built the Alternative, that he must be inside and asks Mira if she wants to confront him, which she does. Keith uses a new Battle Gear, the "Zukanator", on Helios, to blow a hole in the Alternative that he and Mira use to enter the machine. | |||||

With the battle against the Alternative pressing on, Hydron shows up to lend a hand. Meanwhile, Professor Clay receives a video transmission from a faraway world just as Mira and Keith arrive to make one final appeal. Once the brawlers realize Mira and Keith are missing, they deduce that the siblings may have found a way inside, so Dan uses JetKor to blast a hole in the Alternative while Gus and Marucho stay behind to guard the rear. Gus and Vulcan are nearly defeated, but Hydron steps in and saves him as repayment for breaking them both out of prison. Shun, having memorized the blueprints of the machine, leads the Dan, Ace, and Baron through the Alternative. However, the four are all caught in a trap resembling Bakugan Interspace, where they are forced to battle against four mysterious Bakugan who are unfamiliar by Drago. While Mira pleads with her father to abandon his evil plans, Dan and the others emerge victorious and destroy the main reactor. As everyone evacuates, Professor Clay saves Mira from falling debris but is trapped on the ship with no hope of escaping. He soon returns to his computer and finds that the video he received depicts Bakugan at war. Meanwhile, Hydron captures his father, forcing them both to "go down with the ship." The Alternative explodes, killing them both, as well as Professor Clay. After the battle, the Resistance go their separate ways, with Dan, Shun, and Marucho saying goodbye to their Vestal teammates and allies. Three weeks later, Marucho has completely repaired Bakugan Interspace and prepares to uses Akwimos to test it, while Shun uses Hawktor, and Dan sticks with Drago. Just as the three are about to begin, they are approached by mysterious young man who asks them if they're the Brawlers. | |||||
