This takes place a year before Beyblade Burst Fusion.
Standalone Chapter 1: Rising From It’s Ashes!
The boy rolled his head to the side, bored. His white hair fell over his eyes, one red and the other blue. Another boy walked into the room. He had crazier hair with pink edges. “How are you holding up, bro? It seems to be your birthday! How are you going to celebrate this big occasion?”
The boy in the red robe looked at him. “I don’t know Hearts, I don’t know! Everybody expects this stupid birthday thing to be amazing! Hoorah, you’re a full year closer to dying! Yay, you’re older, and you get more expectations!Life is tougher! You have to abandon all of your kid-like hobbies! Everything about a birthday is wrong, wrong, wrong!”
Hearts stepped back. “Man, Phi, that’s dark! Why can’t you just celebrate like a normal person?”
Phi sighed as his head lolled back to the side. “148.” He muttered.
Hearts arched an eyebrow. “What?”
“That’s how many of these stupid birthdays have passed since we came to this Hellish land called Earth!” Phi closed his eyes as though going to sleep.
“Well, I brought you a present anyways. If you don’t want it...” Hearts began to leave, and Phi noticed a small box wrapped in red and gold.
Phi sighed, pretending his curiosity wasn’t piqued.
Eventually, he was too curious. “Fine, bring it here.”
Hearts laughed at Phi as he set the present on the table and left.
Phi tore it open very precisely, ripping each seam apart perfectly. Under the wrapping was a small cardboard box. Phi, noticing how flimsy it was, put his fist through it and then tore it apart. Inside was a small red and gold object with a dark black outer rim. Under it was a note.
hey Phi, it seems you’ve opened my present. ta-da! ain’t it so underwhelming! i took your Phoenix for a little bit and got it an ‘upgrade’, whatever that means! meet Ashes Phoenix!
~Hearts~
Phi shook his head at his brother’s insanity and picked up his new Phoenix. It was rather hefty, and the outer ring came off like with his old Phoenix. However, other rings came in the box for different modes and different battle strategies.
Phi gave a rare smile as he studied the different rings. The rings were labeled as Ashes Mode
Blaze Mode
Armor Mode
Dead Mode
Heavy Mode
Revive Mode
Force Wall Mode (For Emergencies and Strong Opponents Only!!!!). The Ashes Mode was missing, so Phi assumed it was the one on the layer.
Phi tiredly called “thanks!” to Hearts, masking his excitement at his present. He was totally and finally alone in that big room, and he could stop masking his emotions.
Everything was bland and boring, leading them. It was like being the Ringleader of an endless parade; it sounds fun until you try it. Finally, he was alone, and he could have a little fun using his new bey. Phi stealthily grabbed a stadium and dragged it into the room. “Three. Two. One. Let it...
Rip.” He whispered as he sent Phoenix into the stadium. Phoenix took the center quickly. Phi looked around and realized Hearts had left Hades in the room too, so he walked to it, grabbed it, and then launched it into the stadium so he could practice. “Ash Armor, go!” Its outer ring glowed black as it began to parry Hades’ attacks.
Hearts, sensing his bey was battling, stormed in. “Nobody launches my bey except me! Grim Impulse!” Hades used it’s outer weight to deliver a powerful attack, sending the Ashes ring off. “Wait, he’s gonna attack! Hades, dodge the ring with our Grim Trap!” Hades shot around Phoenix in a circle, it’s trail glowing a dark purple.
A wide circle formed around Phoenix from Hades’ trail. Tendrils of Black shot from the inside, turning the circle a dark purple and black color that trapped Phoenix in the middle. “Phoenix, break free! Ashes Press!” The ring from Phoenix shot towards Hades, slamming into it. Hades’ speed allowed it to knock the ring away.
Hades’ circle slowly shrank onwards towards Phoenix until it was rapidly striking Phoenix. “Attack! Double Ashes Press!” Phoenix’s ring, which was still bouncing around, slammed into Hades, so Hades was being hit from both sides simultaneously. Hades was unable to take the double attack and burst. Phi smiled. “Thanks for the Present! It’s very strong!”
Hearts grinned. “The Great Phi has shown emotion! What a rare event!”
Phi tossed Hearts a small black object. “Haha, very funny. Now put this on. We have an organization to take over.” Hearts sighed.
“Okay, Phi.”
