So... if I had continued the Bakugan storyline, after Deborah and Pheonician are defeated by Jennifer and Auru, history would've been altered shortly after. The entire attribute that is Subterra and Subterra Bakugan, including Azalea's Angelic Manion, would be gone. Azalea, who after defeating Jennifer with her new partner, Pharoll, would go to investigate this while Jenny dealt with the plot. Intel would lead her to Ebony, a mob queen in the Bakugan world. Azalea would challenge and defeat Ebony, leading to this image.

HOWEVER, since Azalea mentions Manion and not Pharoll, that isn't the real context. Truthfully, I had been doing Bakugan stuff with furries throughout highschool. So when I saw the reboot had an actual dog playing Bakugan, I felt conflicted. Even more so when I saw Ebony.

I'm fairly certain I didn't inspire Lightning or Ebony, as my stories and place in most communities is usually pretty bottom of the barrel, but I feel responsible. And I would imagine Ebony trying to challenge Azalea and Manion, only to get thoroughly thrashed because Manion is pretty OP.

Regardless, enjoy this cute cat in pamps because she lost a battle she could never win.
