The Brawlers agree that Dan should use his link with Mag Mel in order to escape. Meanwhile, Chris and Soon try to escape the Chaos Bakugan with the help of Team Anubias. Dan successfully uses his link to connect with Mag Mel and they battle. Soon, having lost the will to do anything since Sellon's abandonment, is useless in battle until Chris convinces her otherwise and they follow Shun into battle. Dan manages to smash Mag Mel's mask and sees the face of none other than Barodius! Mag Mel reveals that he once was Barodius and Razenoid was once Dharak but their contact with Code Eve caused them to be banished to another realm and encased in new forms as a prison. In the midst of the battle, Dan loses the link and reveals that Mag Mel is Barodius. Marucho manages to trick Dylan into helping him get a message to the outside world and contacts his father and Kato to help get them out.
