This story takes place two years after Cho-Z/Turbo.
“Toko! Toko! Wake up, sleepyhead!” Toko’s eyes opened slightly to see Nika shaking him. “Wake up! Raul is here!” Toko’s eyes shot open and he pushed her off his bed. Then he slid off the bed. He quickly realized he was just wearing his underwear and shirt and quickly grabbed the blanket. “Hey! Out of my room, Nika! I have to get dressed!”
Nika chuckled as she left the room. Toko sighed as he locked the door. Then he quickly changed and left the room. He was halfway out the door before he realized he forgot Screw Trident, so he spun around quickly and grabbed it. Nika was waiting outside the door.
“C’mon little bro!” Nika began running.
“Hey! I’m just as old as you! We’re twins!”
Nika shook her head as she ran.
Toko growled as he sped up and ran in front of her, going as fast as he could. Nika sighed.
“Showoff!”
Toko leapt into the air and seemed to float the rest of the way, before landing directly in front of Raul’s van.
“Ah, finally!” Raul opened the window and looked at Toko. His left eye, which was made of silver, lit up. A red light in the center appeared, like a red pupil. A thin laser shot from it and scanned Trident. “Interesting.”
He closed the window and then they could hear some shuffling around inside. When Raul opened the door, the van seemed much messier than usual. The floor was covered in wires and spare parts and there was a table in the center of the van. On the table was a large metal arm connecting a majority of the wires. The rest were connected to a computer that glowed brightly. Raul’s silver eye glowed red and shot a laser onto Trident again.
Suddenly, a blueprint of Trident appeared on the screen. Raul pulled out a stylus and began to write all over the screen. Nika burst through the door, breathing hard.
“Show, off” She panted.
Toko grinned. “What took you so long?”
Nika glared at him. “Come, on, lil, bro, be, nice!” She panted.
Toko laughed before he could help himself. Nika looked at Raul, who was watching them both. He grabbed the stylus again and added a few details to his drawing. Then he pushed a button and the mechanical arm grabbed Screw Trident and set it into a tank-like container in it’s core.
Toko looked at the arm in shock and then stepped towards Raul angrily.
“Hey, you wanted your bey evolved.” He responded. “And you, Nika! You need a bey too.”
Nika’s eyes widened. “Me?”
“Yes, you!” He quickly began sketching on the computer. He glanced sideways onto the wall, where a blackboard that they hadn’t noticed was attached to the van. Sketched on it were a few random creatures that Nika recognized as drawings of the beasts inside beyblades. Attached below each one was a small chip that contained the beast.
A pink one glowed to Nika. She pointed at it. “That is the one.” Raul chuckled. “Ah, Nyke. An attack type.” He began adding even more detail to the sketch on the computer before running to the board and grabbing the chip.
“Now go home, both of you! Go get some sleep and rest up. Tomorrow your beys will be ready!”
Toko sighed. “A whole day without Trident! Ugh!”
Raul grinned. “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait.”
Toko left and raced Nika home. Separated from Trident, Nika easily best him home.
“C’mon lil bro, what’s wrong?”
“I’M NOT YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!” He cried angrily and stormed to his room. He lay on the bed and sighed. He couldn’t stand being separated from Trident. Troubled by thoughts, he fell into a restless sleep.
“Lil bro, wake up,” Nika said in a singsong voice. Toko yawned as he opened his eyes to see Nika in his room again.
“C’mon, get outta my room, sis,” he said, tired.
“You don’t look so good, lil bro. I guess I’ll go alone to get my bey.”
Toko quickly woke up as though she had poured cold water on him. He quickly realized he was still in his normal clothes instead of a shirt and underwear and slid out of bed.
“Let’s go get Trident!” He ran out the door, leaving Nika behind. As he ran towards Raul’s van, he noticed somebody else talking to Raul, so he quickly stopped and held out his arm. Nika stopped just before slamming into him.
“Wait, is that-“
“Valt! You’re back!” Toko cried happily as he ran towards Raul’s van. Valt spun around and seemed surprised at seeing Toko and Nika.
“I thought you two always slept in late like me!” Valt teased.
Raul grinned. “Ah, my other two customers.”
“Wait, other?” Nika asked, before they both realized at the same time what was happening.
“Valtryek’s evolving!” They both said in unison.
“Speaking of evolutions, here you go!” Raul tossed a small yellow object out the window, which Toko quickly caught.
“And one for the lady,” Raul said as he tossed another bey into the air, which Nika caught.
“Your beys are part of the Fusion system! That means that they feature specialized Core drivers and Fusion layers that have the ability to combine with other beys!”
“Fusion?” Valt, Nika, and Toko all cried in unison.
Raul grinned. “Yup, give ‘em a try! Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you, Valt!” He tossed a blue bey to Valt, who caught it. “Meet Hydro Trident, Victor Nyke, and Electric Valkyrie!”
Toko looked at Trident, and then the layer slid apart into two pieces, one larger than the other. “Raul, I think my bey broke!” He said as he handed Raul the parts. Raul grinned.
“That’s the Fusion part! Nika, toss me Nyke!” Nika tossed Nyke through the window to Raul, who slid the layer apart into two pieces. Then he grabbed the smaller one of Trident’s pieces and slid it onto Nyke and slid the smaller piece of Nyke onto the larger part of Trident. “Now it is Hydro Nyke and Victor Trident!” He proceeded to remove part of each tip and swapped them. “Now they are fused! All you have to do is switch them back!” Raul fixed them and tossed them both back to their owners.
“Toko and Nika, do you want to battle me?” Valt asked.
“Of course, big bro!” Nika responded. Toko wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic and responded, “Sure.”
Raul vanished from the window and they could hear shuffling before a wide grey disc went flying out the window. Once it landed they realized it was a stadium. Raul returned to the window. “Well? What are you waiting for?”
“Three! Two! One! Let it...
Rip!” They all launched. Trident quickly glided into the center. Valkyrie and Nyke both shot around the stadium as though they were chasing each other.
“Go! Electric Rush!” Valt cried as Valkyrie began to shoot up and down the slope of the stadium, gaining speed as it began to launch a rapid series of looping attacks on Trident. Then it zoomed in for a final blow that burst Trident almost effortlessly.
Toko and Nika gasped in unison. “Now, attack Nyke!” Valkyrie zoomed around the stadium ridge and then struck Nyke from behind, flinging it into the air. Nika reached out to catch Nyke, but it burst midair and she only caught the disc.
Valt grinned at the victory. “Sorry, guys.”
Toko frowned. “Man, I was hoping for a win.” Then he smiled and gained a twinkle to his eyes. “But I’ll win next time!”
Nika smiled. “No, I will!”
