You couldn't believe it.

You were standing face to face with Masquerade, your seemingly enemy. But he took off his mask with a grin.

And you noticed how the blonde hair suddenly turned into long, red wavy curls. Those familiar brown eyes that used to be sad. It was your friend Alice.

— You... He should know about it...

In the blink of an eye, your world collapsed, and your gaze, filled with deep shock, reflected the fullness of this catastrophic event. You fell to your knees, as if you had lost your footing in reality. All this time, during which you enjoyed warm smiles and friendly conversations, turned out to be just an illusion. The lies that were hidden behind the facade of benevolence were exposed in all their glory.

— Masquerade... This is my alter ego. When my grandfather went too far in the experiment, he discovered another world... Vestroia... Grandfather unknowingly helped Naga escape to our planet... I'm really sorry... I...

Alice said this with sadness, as if she was trying to hold back tears. She understood everything, but still slowly put the mask back on. Her long red hair was short and blond again.

But now Masquerade wasn't grinning. That spark of battle had gone out in him. He didn't want to obey anyone anymore.

— I see you're quite shocked by this.

Masquerade approached you and got down on one knee.

— Judging by Alice's words, you can help me.

What? How can you help him?! He's a damn traitor who killed innocent Bakugans. Your world is in danger because of him. A few more mistakes and the Earth will turn into a desolate place where crazy bakugan Naga will rule.

You lowered your head, not knowing what to think about.
