It had been a few days since Miles heard from R-Dev that the US team qualifiers were going to happen soon. Miles was still thinking of all of the possibilities...
"Wow..." He thought to himself, "I can't believe it. R-Dev is right. If we do good enough, we could be able to represent the USA!"
Once he realized that he hadn't told his friends, he searched for them, and told them what R-Dev had said.
"No way!!" Devin replied, "That's great news!"
"Yeah!" Bri added, "It's also a good time to practice with Meteo L-Drago!"
"This is great!" Cloud added as well, "We better get training!!"
So after that, the four started practicing for what could be another rise for the group's popularity...

Miles was woken by a pillow thrown at his face...
"Devin! Come on, man!!" Miles said...
"Hey, you're up!" Devin replied. "Glad you're up! You remember what today is?"
It took a few seconds, but then it rang to him. Today was July 17th, the day of East Coast US's Qualifier.
Miles quickly jumped out of bed and got ready. After he did, he ran downstairs, where Bri, Cloud, and Devin were waiting.
"Ready?" Bri asked...
"Yup!" Miles said, but before they headed out the door, he stopped. "Wait!" he said, "Gotta go get Pegasis!"
He ran back upstairs and picked up his MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS. "Pegasis, looks like you and I are going to have more fun today!" He said.
Seconds later, he came back down, and the four left for the coliseum...
When they got there, there were more people than ever cheering.
"WOW!" Devin said, "So many people!!"
"Hey look! Some of our school buddies are here!"
Some of the group's friends were in the front row. Sony and Blade, Miles' classmates, were attending. Devin's brother Justin was attending, as was Bri's friend Sen, and Cloud's father, who was a championship blader back in his days...
The DJ came out and announced the start of the event.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" He started, "It is time for the Qualifier, for the East Coast USA!"
The crowd cheered and applauded.
"Here''s how it's gonna go!" DJ resumed. "Our nine competitors, will compete in a big Battle Royale! The first five eliminated go home, fourth place is the team sub-member, third and second are normal members. The Winner, however, will be the captain for the team as they travel around the world competing!"
DJ paused as the crowd let out another large wave of screams and cheers...
"Our competitors are...
Using Shinobi Orojya 90WD, Cloud Starcutter!
Using Galaxy Capricorn LW105SF, Gray Reagans!
Using Rock Escolpio H145WD, Matthew Simmins!

And lastly, Our Double Elimination tournament winner, using MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS, Miles Serge!!"
The crowd cheered as their favorite player was called...
"Alright now, everybody to the stadium!!" DJ ordered...
"Okay guys..." Miles said to his friends. "All of us need to just fight, even against each other. We're friends, but here' there's no alliances. Survival of the fittest..."
"Right..." Cloud replied...
"Absolutely, couldn't agree more..." Devin answered...
"Totally. Best of luck boys..." Bri said...
The group, along with the five others, approached the stadium and readied to launch..
"Bladers ready? Okay crowd, say it with me!!" DJ ordered...
"3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!"
"Devin! Come on, man!!" Miles said...
"Hey, you're up!" Devin replied. "Glad you're up! You remember what today is?"

All nine of the beys land in the stadium and immediately start attacking each other.
"Alright, everybody!!" DJ announced, "Our Battle Royale is underway!!"
"Go Corona!!" Devin yelled as it clashed. The clash Sent Matthew's Escolpio out of the arena, dropping the competitors to eight.
"Orojya, Special Move! Dazzling Crown!!" Orojya landed quickly on the crowd, which sent Frankie's Leone out next...
With seven bladers left, Henry's Libra KO'd Jesse's Gemios and Gray's Capricorn, leaving five left.
Bri was now in trouble, because Henry's Libra started pushing her L-Drago to the very edge...
"Oh no, I can't possibly do this!!" She thought. "Wait...this should work!!!"
She then used her L-Drago's rubber to roll around Henry's bey and KO it!!
"Yes!!" She said soon after...
"Aw, man! So close!" Henry remarked as he left...
"Alright, so we got our team, but who's each person's position?" DJ said...
The four friends charged at each other in the stadium with tremendous force.
"Orojya!"
"Corona!"
"L-Drago!"
"Pegasis!"
They all yelled as the beys clashed.
"Corona, Dazzling Crown!" Devin yelled...
His Corona landed on L-Drago first, making Bri the sub-member, then hit Orojya, making Cloud third place.
"Yeah!!!" Wait... Where's Pegasis..." Devin said...
Suddenly, a surprise attack catches him off guard. It's Pegasis...
"Pegasis, Special Move! Wing Starbreaker!!" Miles yelled...
With that, Pegasis struck Corona directly, knocking out Devin.
The crowd erupted into cheers and applaud as Miles won the match.
"There ya have it folks!!" DJ announced, " So Bri si the sub-member, Cloud and Devin are members, and Miles is the Captain!!"
After realizing his win, he fell to his knees in disbelief.
"Amazing..." he thought to himself. "I can't believe it..."
He got back up, walked over to Devin, and hugged him...
"Good match, buddy!" Devin replied... "Well deserved win for ya!"
"Let us wish our East Coast US team the best of luck on their travels to competition. They start tomorrow by going to India! Give a round of applause to our team!!"
Miles and his friends waved and bowed as they walked out to a very satisfied crowd...
When they got home, it was late, and the four friends started packing up their clothes and belongings to prepare for the travel tomorrow...
At 9:45 pm, Bri and Cloud were asleep, and Miles and Devin were laying in their beds, talking...
"So Devin, what do you think's gonna happen in India?" Miles asked...
"I don't know..." Devin replied, "I never even expected us to make it on the team!"
Devin yawned. "Well, I'm tired. We better go to bed..."
"Yeah..." Miles replied, "But one more question..."
"Yeah, Miles?"
"Do you think...R-Dev...has changed his ways?"
Devin pondered for a moment, then replied, "Some people change, Miles. Some don't, and then there are those who deceive you with their actions... Now, I'm tired. Night, Miles..."
Devin switched the light off and went to sleep...
"Devin's right..." Miles thought, "And it's definitely possible! Has R-Dev changed, or...oh god...is he tricking me, to make me put my guard down so he can murder me?"
Miles put this question in the back of his mind as he slowly drifted to sleep...
"Alright, everybody!!" DJ announced, "Our Battle Royale is underway!!"

Miles was once again woke up, this time by the turbulence of an airplane.
"What the?!" He said, stumped.
"Oh hey, Miles!" Bri said, sitting in the seat next to him. "Glad you're up!", she added as she kissed him on the cheek.
"How the hell did I get on an airplane?" Miles asked.
"I carried ya on here!" Devin chimed in from behind him. "I didn't want you to lose your beauty sleep, so I carried ya here and onto the plane, bound for India!! We've been on here for about four hours!"
Miles checked the time on his phone, and was shocked. "It's seven o'clock! You mean to tell me that since 3am I've been asleep on this plane, and didn't even notice???"
"Pretty much, yeah..." Devin replied, "You're quite the heavy sleeper, hehe..."
"Look guys!" Cloud rang in from beside the window, "Look outside!"
They looked, and saw that they were passing over India's coliseum...
"Looks cool!" Devin remarked...
"Ladies and gentleman." The pilot announced over the intercom, "We will be landing in Hyderabad, India in just a few short moments!"
The four friends got ready for touchdown.
"Wait, before we land guys, what are the rules for the battling?" Miles asked...
Bri rang in with the answer.
"Well, first off, launching. The Universal use is GO SHOOT! Secondly, the Captain picks any three members, including himself, to compete in a best out of three, with the three players the Captain chose each battling once. If you win 3-0 or 2-1, you get a win on the records. Each battle win earns a point, so those points will help tell who's seeded where in the finals.
India's one of the exceptions, however. India prefers that all eight players battle in a free-for-all, and the last team standing wins!"
With that in their mind, the plane landed, and they got off...
"Okay, so I just got a text from Iban Muhammed, the team's captain, that they will be holding up a sign that says "BeyBlade" on it." Devin replied as the four walked down the terminal. "Says they are also wearing orange clothing, too..."
As they came to the end, they spotted them, and the US team followed them outside to a limo, which both teams entered.
"Welcome USA team!" Iban said. "I am Iban Muhammed, the team's Captain, and this is my Duo Uranus 230WD." Iban introduced the others too. "This is Andre Turban and Isun Turban. They're brothers, and both use Poison Scorpio M145Q. Andre's is brown, and Isun's is black. Lastly, that is our sub-member, Babadan Shohan. He uses Thermal Bull 230WD. These guys don't speak good English..."
"Nice to meet you Iban!" Miles said, "I'm Miles Serge, and my bey, MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS!"
"Ah, you're that double elimination winner, right?" Iban asked. "I saw it on the broadcast!"
"Yep, that was me!" Miles replied, "and this is my team! Devin Collins uses MF-F Burn Corona 230D. Cloud Starcutter uses Shinobi Orojya 90WD, and our sub-member, Bri Crawford, uses MF Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD!"
"Very classy beys you have there!" Iban complimented. "Did you see our coliseum when you flew over?"
"Sure did!" Devin replied. "It's a decent size, and it's surprisingly colorful!"
"Thank you for those compliments!" Iban replied...
The limo stopped.
"We are here!!" Iban said.
Both teams exited and entered the coliseum. Many fans were in the crowd, including US fans!
The Indian DJ came out and announced the match. "Hello, everybody! Welcome to India's first match, against the East Coast team of the USA!"
The crowd applauded and cheered.
"May the two teams be ready to fight! Approach the stadium!!"
The two teams approached the stadium, attached their beys, and were ready to launch.
"Are we ready?" DJ asked...
All eight nodded.
"Alright then Let's go!"
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
"What the?!" He said, stumped.

At those words, all eight beys entered the arena and started going for each other.
Bri went for Babadan, Devin and Cloud targeted the Turban Brothers, and Miles went straight for Iban.
"Go Uranus!!" Iban commanded. He landed a direct hit on Pegasis. Pegasis slung back a little.
"Ah, what a strong hit by Iban, the captain!" The Indian DJ remarked.
The Turban Brothers then took action. "Scorpio!" Andre and Isun said together, "Special Move, Double Stinger!!!"
Devin and Cloud avoid before they attack, but Bri's L-Drago was slung into the attack, KO'ing her...
"Awww..." Bri said, hanging her head...
"Go Corona, Dazzling Crown!!" Devin commanded.
"Orojya, Special Move! Orojya Spear!!" Cloud added.
Together, the two attacked, and with a direct hit, knocked out both of the Scorpios, eliminating the Turban Brothers...
"Go Bull!" Babadan yelled. "Special Move! Uppercut!!"
Bull immediately started charging towards Corona and Orojya.
"Not on my watch!" Miles chimed in. "Pegasis, Wing Starbreaker!!"
The attack struck right on Babadan's bey, and was slung at such force, that Iban's Uranus got KO'd as well.
After that, the crowd, even the Indian fans, applauded and cheered for the US team...
"There ya have it, everybody!" the Indian DJ said, now on the stadium floow. "The East Coast US team wins!"
The DJ then approached Miles for a short interview.
"Miles, that was a great battle!" he said, "Your team won! How do you think you did today, and what did you think of the Indian team?"
It was Miles' first time on camera, but he maintained his composure when the questions were asked.
"Well..." Miles started, "I gotta say, the battle was a lot more interesting than I thought! I mean, Iban's attack was much stronger than I expected, and the Turban Brothers had a very strong Special Move. I think they did very well, and really surprised me! I hope they are able to do well. Thank you!"
The crowd applauded as Miles concluded his interview. He then walked over to his friends. He noticed Bri's head hung.
"What's wrong, Bri?" Miles asked. "Sad that you got KO'd?"
"Yeah..." she replied quietly. "I did horrible..."
"Don't say that!" Devin remarked. "You did good for your first match! I was pleasantly surprised!"
"Me too!" Cloud added, "You fought well!"
"Don't be so hard on yourself, Bri..." Miles encouraged. "Everyone has those times that they do bad. Put this behind you, and don't worry about it..."
Bri rose her head and smiled. "Okay..." she replied. "Thanks for caring guys..."
"Hey!" Iban said to the group. "You guys need a ride to the airport?"
"Uh, sure!" Miles replied, and the four friends followed the Indian team back outside.
"Congratulations to the East Coast US team!" The DJ remarked, "Let us wish them luck as they leave to go face Argentina!"
The crowd applauded as the group left...
A few minutes later, the two teams arrived at the airport.
"So, I guess this is goodbye for now, huh?" Miles said to Iban...
"Yes..." Iban replied. "I hope you guys do well in Argentina! We got to go, too. We face Russia!"
"Good luck to you guys!" Devin said. "Goodbye!"
The two teams shook hands and left for their flights...
Miles, Bri, Cloud, and Devin boarded their flight, and took off...
Well, guys...." Cloud said. "Next stop, Argentina..."
Bri went for Babadan, Devin and Cloud targeted the Turban Brothers, and Miles went straight for Iban.
"Go Uranus!!" Iban commanded. He landed a direct hit on Pegasis. Pegasis slung back a little.
"Ah, what a strong hit by Iban, the captain!" The Indian DJ remarked.

Miles and his friends were now mid-way through their flight, on their way to Argentina.
Miles and Bri were the ones awake, while Devin and Cloud were both asleep in the seats behind them.
"So..." Miles said. "Argentina, huh?"
"Yep..." Bri replied.
"I heard Argentina is a beautiful place..."
"Yeah, me too! I think it's very beautiful..."
"I can only think of one thing more beautiful..."
"Yeah? What is that?"
Miles smiled. "You..."
"Awwww..." Bri said, blushing lightly, "That's sweet!" She then gave him a kiss...
"Looks like Devin's not awake to ruin it this time, huh?" Bri said jokingly...
"Haha, yep!" Miles replied laughing.
A few hours later, around 7 pm, the four came into Argentina.
"Guys, wake up! We're almost there..." Miles said to Devin and Cloud...
However, they got woken up when the plane started shaking.
"W-What's going on??" Devin said...
The pilot then came on the intercom. "It appears that the fuel tanks have leaked, ladies and gentleman. Strap in for some turbulence. We are gonna make an emergency stop at the Buenos Aries Airport."
Everyone did so.
"I'm scared, Miles..." Bri said, worried...
"It's ok, Bri..." Miles said comfortingly, "We'll make it..."
After several agonizing seconds, the plane safely landed and rolled to a stop at the end of the airstrip...
"Phew, that was close!" Cloud remarked...
"Yeah. I'm just glad we're safe..." Miles replied...
After the four friends got off the plane, they walked down the terminal.
"It appears that Argentina is here! They must've been waiting!" Devin said, pointing...
At the end of the terminal, there were three boys and one girl, all dressed in blue jeans and light blue Argentina jerseys, waiting for the US team. They walked up to the Argentina team...
"Hola, US team!" said one of the boys. "We are the official Argentinian beyblade team!"
They shook hands with the US team...
"So, what are your names?"
"I'm Miles Serge. I'm the East Coast US Team's Captain! I use MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS! These are my teammates, Devin, Cloud, and our sub-member, Bri! Devin uses Burn Corona 230D, Cloud uses Shinobi Orojya 90WD, and Bri uses MF Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD..."
After taking a breath, Miles continued. "So, what are your names?"
"I am the Captain, Guillermo Siad! These are my teammates, Romero Gomez and Lionel Nappa, and that girl right there is our sub, Jesse Ibarra! We all use Booster Beys!!"
"Booster beys??" Devin said, confused...
"Oh yeah. It's been a while since the US had them..." Guillermo said. "Let us show you!"
They all pulled out their beys.
"I, Guillermo, use MF Sagittario 145S! Romero uses MF Wolf D125B, Lionel uses MF Pisces D125BS, and Jesse uses MF Gemios DF145FS!"
"Oh yeah, I remember those!!" Miles remarked...
"So, I heard you guys ran into trouble on the flight?" Guillermo said...
"Yep..." Cloud replied. "Gas tanks leaked..."
"Oh my! are you okay?" Jesse asked...
"Yeah, everything's fine..." Cloud answered...
"That's good!" Guillermo said. "Now, our battle is going to be tomorrow at 9am! The hotel you guys will be staying at is just a walk down the street! Now, we gotta go. It's getting late. See you guys tomorrow!"
"Bye!" Miles said as they left...
After that, the four friends walked down the street to the hotel. They checked in, and went to their room.
"This is huge!!" Devin said, looking at the size. He then spotted a room with a TV. "That room's mine!" He said.
"Not if it's mine first!" Cloud remarked... He and Devin then started arguing...
"Boys calm down!" Bri said, "There are two separate beds in there. You can both have the room!"
Devin and Cloud looked, and spotted the two beds...
"Oh yeah..." the two said simultaneously...
"Alright, you two..." Miles said, like a parent. "Go to your room and get some sleep. We got a busy day tomorrow..."
"Awww..." Devin said. "Can't we watch TV?"
"Sure, just don't be too loud. I need my sleep too, y'know?"
"Okay..." Cloud replied, and he and Devin went in and closed the door...
"Well, looks like we gotta share a bed tonight, Miles..." Bri said...
"Fine with me..." he said, climbing into the bed...
"Okay then..." Bri said, joining him...
"So, Bri, what do you think tomorrow's gonna be like?"
"I have no Idea. We've never seen how well Booster beys work.."
"Yeah, and I need to pick a line up. Hmmm..."
"Miles?"
"Yeah, Bri?"
"Do you mind if I sit this one out? I'd like to get more practice in before my next match..."
"Sure thing, Bri. I'll have Cloud take care of it..."
"Good..." Bri said, yawning...
"Tired, huh?" Miles asked...
"Mhmm..." she said...
"Well, let's get some shut-eye. We'll need it for tomorrow..." He gave her a gentle kiss on her lips. "Goodnight, Bri..."
"Goodnight, Miles..."
Snuggled up together, the couple fell asleep...
Miles and Bri were the ones awake, while Devin and Cloud were both asleep in the seats behind them.
"So..." Miles said. "Argentina, huh?"
"Yep..." Bri replied.
"I heard Argentina is a beautiful place..."
"Yeah, me too! I think it's very beautiful..."
"I can only think of one thing more beautiful..."
"Yeah? What is that?"
Miles smiled. "You..."
"Awwww..." Bri said, blushing lightly, "That's sweet!" She then gave him a kiss...
"Looks like Devin's not awake to ruin it this time, huh?" Bri said jokingly...
"Haha, yep!" Miles replied laughing.

The next morning, Miles woke up to find Bri laying in bed, awake, staring at the ceiling...
"Mornin', Bri..." Miles said, "Something wrong?"
"I don't know..." she replied...
"What's the matter?" He asked...
"About what I said to you last night..." she started, "I really want to help you guys out and win against Argentina, but I just feel like I'm not ready yet. I'm conflicted on whether to help you or to be safe and practice..."
"Bri..." Miles said, "Look at me..."
She turned to face him... "I...wanna help but, I dunno..... I can't choose!"
"Do I need to make the decision for you?"
".....I think so..." she said, covering her face in shame.
"Awww..." Miles said, hugging her. "I feel so sorry for you... Come on, no need to cover up..."
She moved her hands. "So, what do you think I should do for now, Miles?" Bri asked...
"Well..." he replied, "I think you need just a little more practice. I mean, you're fairly new, and you could use all the practice you can get... I think I'll just have Cloud fill you in, and I'll let you play the next one, okay?"
"Okay..." she replied. "Thanks, and-- OH MY GOD!!"
"What??" Miles said, startled...
"It's 8:30!!"
"Oh damn!! We gotta go!!" He said, jumping out of bed and getting dressed.
Bri ran and pounded on the other two's door. "Guys, get up! We're gonna be late!!"
At those words, Devin and Cloud got up and got ready as well. All four grabbed their beys, and ran for the coliseum downtown...
"C'mon guys!" Miles said, "At this rate, we should be there just in time!!"
Cloud had broke away from the group, running ahead of the group. Miles and Bri were next, followed by Devin, trying to keep up...
"I...can't...keep...going..." Devin said, gasping...
"Yes you can, Devin!!" Miles said, encouragingly. "Come on, you can make it!!"
"NOW I can..." Devin replied, and in no time, he caught up, and the four got there with a few minutes to spare...
The Argentinian team was waiting. "Wow, good running, guys!!" Guillermo complimented. "You made it!!"
"Can we get an automatic win for this?" Cloud said jokingly.
The team laughed. "I wish there was an effort award!" Jesse remarked...
"C'mon, let's head out!" Miles said, and the two teams headed out into the coliseum. They both received a big applause heading out...
The teams stood by their flags in the ground as the DJ entered...
"Hola, everyone!!" he said. "Welcome to the match between the US team of the East Coast and Argentina!! Here's how it works today. The captain picks two members each to play one on one matches, then we finish with the two captains facing off! Teams, do we understand?"
Both teams nodded...
"Okay then! Captains, who's sitting out this match?"
"Bri is sitting out for the US..." Miles replied. As he turned to her, she silently said "Thank you" to him, and stepped back..."
Then Guillermo answered. "Argentina will sit out...Romero Gomez". Romero nodded and stepped back, still holding his Wolf in his hands...
"Okay then!" DJ said. "It is now time for the first match! Captains, who will battle first?"
Both captains pointed to their players...
"Okay, the first match will be...Cloud VS Lionel!"
Both of them approached the stadium, ready to battle. Both attached their beys, and readied for launch.
"Alright bladers!" DJ said, "Ready? 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Cloud's Orojya and Lionel's Pisces hit the stadium.
USA East Coast VS Argentina was underway...
"Mornin', Bri..." Miles said, "Something wrong?"
"I don't know..." she replied...

Cloud's Orojya and Lionel's Pisces hit the stadium.
USA East Coast VS Argentina was underway...
Spoiler (Click to View)
Orojya and Pisces kept delivering attacks to each other back and forth, neither backing off.
"Come on, Pisces! Fend him off with all of your power!" Lionel shouted.
"Go Orojya, just keep on fighting!" Cloud commanded...
After much clashing, Lionel decided to make things interesting...
"Come on, Pisces, Special Move!! Shark Attack!!"
A shark flew out of Pisce's Face Bolt and bit down on Orojya. The attack sent Orojya across the stadium, into the barrier. A close call for Cloud.
"Hmmm..." Cloud thought to himself. "I know that one good hit will take care of him, but first, I gotta get around that shark..."
He returned his focus to the stadium. "Orojya, go for 'em!" he said.
Orojya started charging directly at Pisces...
"Go, Pisces! Shark Attack!" Lionel commanded.
As Pisces attacked, Cloud went into action.
"Dodge!" he commanded. The maneuver sent Pisces clashing into the stadium. It tried to attack again. Orojya successfully dodged the move again...
After a bit of dodging later, Pisces was wobbling, out of energy. That's when Cloud struck.
"Go Orojya, Special Move!! Orojya Spear!!" He commanded...
Orojya rose into the air. As it stated it's way down, a Spear surrounded by snakes emerged from the facebolt. Orojya struck with great force and sent Pisces in front of the DJ's chair.
The crowd applauded to the US team. Even if their teams lost, if it was a very favorited team, they'd celebrate...
"The first round goes to Cloud from the US EastSide!!" DJ announced...
Cloud picked up his Orojya and Lionel's Pisces, and walked over to Lionel. He handed Pisces back to him.
"Good match..." Cloud said, "I really liked it..." He held out his hand. Lionel gladly took Cloud's hand, and got up.
Cloud then walked over to his team. "Good job, Cloud!!" Miles said.
"Thanks, Miles..." Cloud said. "Man, that battle tired me out!"
"Okay then!" DJ announced, "Our next match is Devin VS Jesse!"
Devin and Jesse walked up to the stadium. Devin readied his Corona, while Jesse readied her Gemios.
"Bladers ready?" 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!"
Corona and Gemios hit the stadium quickly, and right off the bat, Jesse released Gemios' Special Move.
"Gemios, Flaming Ice Shard!!"
Gemios flew into the air, still spinning, and started dropping shards of ice that were on fire.
Corona got trapped in one of them, and was unable to move.
"No, Corona!!" Devin shouted.
As Gemios flew higher in the air to attack, Miles covered his eyes, terrified of the worst...
"Okay..." Devin thought quickly, "I can't move, but I've been trying something out for a while now, and haven't had to use it until now. It never worked when I practiced, but maybe this time..."
"Corona, Swift Glimmer!!"
With that move, Corona flashed red quickly, and with surprising speed, broke out of the shard and avoided the attack just in time!
"Agh, Gemios!" Jesse said, shocked by the maneuver. Gemios was now moving slower. Still fairly fast, but slow enough for Devin to land his NEW special move...
"Corona, Rainbow Gemstone!!"
A rainbow-colored trail followed Corona as it flew into the air, and as it fell, it made a beautiful rainbow appearance that amazed everyone in the stadium.
Corona clashed right on the side of Gemios, and the attack, sent Gemios sliding across the stadium, and through an opening in the stadium, KO'ing Gemios.
The crowd cheered and applauded at the play.
"What a great way to end that battle!!" the DJ said, "Devin wins with a beautiful display of his new Special Move!"
Devin picked up his bey, and walked over to Jesse. "Good battle!" Jesse said, "I really liked your new Special Move!"
"Yeah, me too..." Devin replied, "First time I tried it!"
They shook hands and walked to their teams. Devin's friends were applauding when he got there.
"Great work, Devin!" Cloud said, "Nice job..."
"Looks like you got a new arsenal, now that you have TWO new special moves!!" Miles added...
"Mhmm.." Devin replied. "I know they'll come in use..."
"Alright, now..." DJ announced. "It's time to see if Argentina will be able to prevent a clean sweep. Our last match, the Cpatain's match! Miles VS Guillermo!"
Both walked up to the stadium, and readied for launch. "Let's do this, Pegasis..." Miles said...
"Ready? 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!"
"Come on, Pisces! Fend him off with all of your power!" Lionel shouted.
"Go Orojya, just keep on fighting!" Cloud commanded...

Both walked up to the stadium, and readied for launch. "Let's do this, Pegasis..." Miles said...
"Ready? 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!"
Spoiler (Click to View)
Miles' Pegasis and Guillermo's Sagittario hit the stadium, and they met in the middle, clashing in the center of the stadium, with each hit, Sagittario was recoiled back much further than Pegasis was.
"You got some power, Miles..." Guillermo commented, "But let's see you deal with this! Sagittario, Special Move! Shower of Flaming Arrows!!"
Sagittario started hovering in the air, sending several flaming arrows onto the stadium. Pegasis was barely dodging each one. Miles knew if Pegasis was struck once, it was over...
"Now what?" He thought, "I'm not able to keep avoiding him. Pegasis is bulky, but if he hits the MF-H, it's over. I gotta find a way up there without risking the loss... Hmmmm..."
As he thought, he noticed one of the arrows just missing Pegasis, almost singing the blue paint off of the wheel...
"That was too close!" Miles thought. "I gotta think of something, NOW! .....I got it!!"
Miles returned his focus to the stadium. "Pegasis, up the ramp!"
Pegasis launched itself up the side of the stadium, flipping to reflect all of the arrows. None of them had the opportunity to get to the face bolt.
"Pegasis is up in the air!" DJ announced. "What's it gonna do?"
"Pegasis! Wing Starbreaker!"
Pegasis Struck Sagittario from under the wheel, ad Sagittario's recoil sent it flying out.
The crowd cheered as Miles won the match...
"In a clean sweep, the US EastSide is the Winning team!!" DJ announced.
Miles picked up Pegasis and shook hands with Guillermo.
"Congratulations to the US team! Let us hope they do well against their next opponent, the Middle East!!"
The four friends waved, and got in the limo to take them to the airport.
"We thank you guys for coming to Buenos Aries and battling us. Hope can visit again sometime!!" Guillermo told the group.
"Thank you, Guillermo...." Miles said. He shook his hand, and the four friends walked down the terminal to go to their flight bound for the Middle East.
During the walk, Cloud received a thought that hurt his head.
"Urrgh..." He said, in slight pain..
As Devin and Bri continued, Miles stopped. "Cloud?" he asked, "You okay?"
"Um...yeah..." Cloud replied, and they continued walking...
Cloud thought about that sight he saw. "All I saw was a Russian flag, a torn up US flag, and I heard laughing... Don't know how this affects me. No idea about the Russian flag. Because I'm part Russian maybe? Maybe it means nothing, but I better watch out, in case it does...."
Cloud kept a blank expression as he got on the plane.
"Cloud..." Miles asked again, "Are you sure you're okay?"
He stammered. "Uhhhh...um...uhhhhhhhhh...I don't..."
Cloud's face went pale, then he fainted...and lost consciousness...
"You got some power, Miles..." Guillermo commented, "But let's see you deal with this! Sagittario, Special Move! Shower of Flaming Arrows!!"

Cloud woke up in a hospital. His teammates were looking at him, worried...
"Ugh..." he said, waking up, "Wha...what happened?"
"You fell on the airplane after we took off..." Miles replied...
"Are we...in the Middle East?" Cloud asked...
"Saudi Arabia to be exact..." Devin answered. "As soon as we landed the Middle Eastern team drove us here as fast as possible... What the hell happened, man?"
"I...I don't know..." Cloud answered. "I saw a vision of something bad, now I can't even remember it now...."
"Were you dreaming about being in the Cold War?" Devin said jokingly...
"Devin, shut up!" Cloud yelled, "Just cause I'm part Russian doesn't make me Soviet, alright?"
"Okay, okay, sorry..." Devin said, frowning... "Won't do it again..."
Cloud got up and shook it off. "Well, we should go to our battle. Wasn't it supposed to start when we landed?"
"Yeah, but it's been suspended til we arrive..." Miles said. "We should probably go get in the vehicle and go to the coliseum with the Middle Eastern team..."
So the group walked out of the hospital and into the limo, where the Middle Eastern team was waiting...
"Cloud, this is the Middle East team. That's Ahmed, the captain. He uses Rock Giraffe R145WB. That's Ali and Ashid Fahar. Ali uses Storm Aries 125S, and Ashid uses Rock Aquario 125SF. Lastly, that's the sub-member, Muhammed. He uses Evil Pisces ED145WD. They don't speak good English, and they're pretty silent. Guys, this is Cloud Starcutter. He uses Shinobi Orojya 90WD..."
The Middle East team nodded. Cloud nodded back...
When they arrived, the two teams entered, and received a round of applause by the crowd when they entered...
The teams stood by their flags as the DJ, who sort of looked like a genie, entered the arena...
"Hello, everyone!!" he announced. "Welcome to the battle between the East Coast US and our Middle Eastern Team!!"
The crowd applauded, then DJ resumed..
"Let's go ahead and get this underway. Teams, discuss who's sitting out...."
The two teams circled up and talked...
"So Bri..." Miles said, "Do you still need some practice?"
"I'm not sure.." She replied, "You make the call..."
"Okay then.." he replied, turning...
"Okay..." the DJ asked, "Who's sitting out..."
Ahmed pointed to a teammate...
"Middle East will sit out sub-member Muhammed Khalir..." DJ said...
As Muhammed stepped back, DJ turned to the US team... "Who will you sit out?"
"Well..." Miles replied, "We will sit out....Cloud Starcutter!"
The crowd gasped in surprise. Cloud's eyes widened in surprise, but he stepped back, nonetheless...
"Okay then..." DJ resumed, "So, who will battle first?"
Both captains pointed once again...
"The first match will be between...Devin Collins and Ashid Fahar!"
As Devin walked to the stadium, Cloud tapped Miles on the shoulder...
"Dude, why are you sitting me out?" He whispered, "Bri isn't sure of her skills, you know that!"
"Yes I do know that..." Miles whispered back, "But I do know you're under some sort of mental stress. Besides, I'm not letting someone battle when they fainted and went unconscious just a few hours ago..."
"But... But..."
"No but's, Cloud..."
Cloud just sighed... "Maybe he's right..." He thought to himself, "That thought is startling me. I think I should be worried about it. It's ruining my focus..."
At the stadium, Devin and Ashid were ready for launch.
"Bladers, prepare for launch!" DJ said, "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
"Ugh..." he said, waking up, "Wha...what happened?"
"You fell on the airplane after we took off..." Miles replied...
"Are we...in the Middle East?" Cloud asked...
"Saudi Arabia to be exact..." Devin answered. "As soon as we landed the Middle Eastern team drove us here as fast as possible... What the hell happened, man?"
"I...I don't know..." Cloud answered. "I saw a vision of something bad, now I can't even remember it now...."

Devin's Corona and Ashid's Aquario hit the stadium and started circling...
"Looks like this battle is underway!!" The DJ announced, "Who will make the first move?"
After circling each other a few times, Devin charged and started landing several attacks on Aquario.
"The Rock wheel has very high recoil." Devin thought to himself, "If I can land a few good hits, he's outta here!"
Devin kept on attacking. However, no matter how many times he hit.
"Wow!" Devin said, "You got a pretty stable bey there Ashid!!"
Ashid nodded in reply, then he rose his hand and threw it down.
"Looks like Ashid is letting out Aquario's Special Move, Raging Hurricane!!"
The attack wiped Corona out, and left him wobbling like crazy. Aquario jumped and began charging at Corona.
"Dodge, Corona!" Devin commanded quickly...
At those words, despite being wobbly, Corona dodged, AND delivered an attack!
Ashid looked surprised but commanded for attack again. Once again Corona dodged and attacked again! After dodging a few more times, Devin made his move.
"Alright, time to finish this!" he remarked, "Special Move! Swift Glimmer!!!"
With incredible speed, Corona smashed into Aquario, and Aquario flew out of the stadium...
The crowd applauded loudly. "And the winner of the first round is Devin from the US!" Devin waved to the crowd, then turned to Ashid. Devin gave him a thumbs up, and Ashid replied with a nod.
As they walked back, DJ announced the next match. "The next match will be between Bri Crawford and Ashid's brother, Ali Fahar!!"
As Ali walked to the stadium, Miles encouraged Bri. "Alright, Bri. This is your first big one on one match. Can you do it?"
"I'm very confident..." she replied...
"Good, now go out there and show them what you got!"
With those words in mind, Bri walked up to the stadium and readied for battle.
"Alright, bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
L-Drago and Aries landed. Immediately L-Drago started dodging Aries' early attacks. Thanks to the rubber, L-Drago creeped up and took some of Aries' spin each time she dodged...
"You're doing great, Bri!!" Miles shouted, "Keep it up!!"
Ali was impressed, but then he let out his Special Move, Speed Charge. Aries jumped on top of L-Drago, several times, causing L-Drago to move erratically with each hit and causing it to come closer to the edge every time.
"Oh no, what do I do??? I can't fight him like that!!" she thought. "Maybe...my Special Move? I should at Least try..."
"L-Drago, Dragon Fire Rampage!!" Bri shouted...
L-Drago gained an orange, fiery-like aura and started speeding up. Aries couldn't keep up with the speed and fell off the top of L-Drago. L-Drago then went on a relentless attack and with one final blow, KO'd Aries...
The crowd gave Bri a standing ovation for her first one on one match.
"And the winner of the 2nd round is Bri!!"
She jumped in excitement, ran to Miles and gave him a big hug. "Thank you so much for being my motivation...." she said to him, "It really helped me..."
"No problem, my love..." he replied. "Now, I need YOU to be MY motivation. I gotta match!"
"The final match will be between Miles Serge and Ahmed Mahir!!"
The crowd applauded as the two approached the stadium.
"Let's do this, Pegasis..." Miles said, attaching his bey to his launcher...
"Alright, bladers ready?" DJ asked, "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
"Looks like this battle is underway!!" The DJ announced, "Who will make the first move?"

Pegasis and Giraffe landed in the stadium and started smashing each other quickly. It was the battle of Defense Types.
"Go, Pegasis!!" Miles commanded.
Pegasis and Giraffe kept attacking head on, never backing off for even an instant.
Ahmed slung his arm into the air, summoning Giraffe's Special Move, Strong Arm Flash. A bright yellowish-orange aura emerged from Giraffe, and Giraffe jumped and attacked, hitting Pegasis every time.
"Oh no! Hang in there, Pegasis!!" Miles shouted.
Pegasis resisted all of the attacks, but was getting closer to the edge...
"What can I do now? i gotta stop his attacking..." Miles thought. "Hmmm, maybe my new Special Move!"
"Go Pegasis, Special Move! Delta Barrier!!!"
A strong blue aura rose from Pegasis, and it didn't budge at any of Giraffe's attacks.
Giraffe then weakened and stopped attacking, trying to revive energy.
"NOW PEGASIS!" Miles shouted, "Special Move! Wing Starbreaker!!!"
Pegasis flew up and landed right on the side of Giraffe. Giraffe's recoil sent it flying right into Ahmed's hands...
The crowd cheered and applauded at the amazing battle.
"That's it!! Miles wins, and the US wins in a clean sweep!!" DJ announced.
He then hopped down from his stand and approached Miles with a microphone. "Miles that was a great job you and your team did! How did the Middle East team do, and why did you choose to sit out Cloud?"
"Well, the Middle East team did really good. We totally underestimated them! I think they use a very good strategy, and they know how to quickly, and certainly quietly, execute special moves!"
As for Cloud..."
He paused, and turned to him. Cloud was shaking his head.
Miles turned. "It was just a feeling I had..." Miles lied.
"Thank you Miles! Congrats to the US team! Good luck on your battle in the Phillipines!!"
The team waved, gave the Middle Eastern team Captain a handshake, and left. They got back into the limo, rode back to the airport, and got on a plane bound for the Phillipines...
Cloud received the same thought he saw last time. He cringed and bent over in his chair.
"Cloud?" Devin said, sitting next to him, "You okay??"
"Yeah, just had a pretty bad thought, and NO, it wasn't the Cold War!!"
"Dammit..." Devin said. "Well, maybe some rest will help you. Get some shut-eye..."
"Sure..." Cloud said, and he fell asleep...
When the flight landed in Manila, Phillipines, Devin tried to wake Cloud up...
"Hey Cloud, we landed!!" Devin shouted...
No answer...
"Dude, wake up..."
No answer again...
"Cloud?"
Once again, no answer...
Devin checked for a pulse. "Oh my god! GUYS!" he said to Bri and Miles who were asleep in the seats in front of him.
They jumped up. "What??" Miles asked.
"It's Cloud!! He won't wake up!!!"
They panicked. "OH NO! We gotta take him to the hospital!!"
Devin threw Cloud on his shoulder and the group exited the plane.
"The Phillipines captain said that they're waiting outside to carry us to the hospital. We should hurry!"
They hurried, and rushed Cloud off to the ER.
A few hours later, Cloud finally woke up. "Urrrgh...did...did I faint again?"
"You were unconscious in the seat when we landed..." Devin replied.
"Cloud, are you absolutely sure you're okay?"
"I am.......uh...n...no..." Cloud the fell into a seizure.
"OH MY GOD!!" Bri yelled, "NURSE!!!"
The nurses came in and started trying to take care of his seizure. His friends backed off.
"Something if definitely wrong with him..." Miles said, sternly.
"But what?" Bri asked.
"I don't know..." Miles replied, "But I know that it is something bad...really bad..."
"Go, Pegasis!!" Miles commanded.
Pegasis and Giraffe kept attacking head on, never backing off for even an instant.
Ahmed slung his arm into the air, summoning Giraffe's Special Move, Strong Arm Flash. A bright yellowish-orange aura emerged from Giraffe, and Giraffe jumped and attacked, hitting Pegasis every time.

About 30 minutes had elapsed since Cloud fell into a seizure, and he was sitting in his bed...
"These evil thoughts I'm getting are destroying my body..." He thought... "I have to find out what they mean, and do something about them..."
Miles, Devin and Bri walked in, concerned...
"Cloud..." Miles started, "We've been thinking, and we might have to move you to the sub-member position..."
"W-What? Why?!"
"We know that something's definitely wrong with you, and we can't have you battling with a risk of hurting yourself..."
"But I really want to battle. I get tired of just sitting..."
"But what about your condition---"
"I don't give a damn about my condition!!! LET ME BATTLE, DAMMIT!!"
Miles was silent. "No...." Miles said sternly...
Cloud got furious. He pulled out a pocket knife he had concealed, hopped out of the bed, and charged at Miles, slashing erratically.
Miles, with swift reflexes, dodged all of the slashes, heading out into the hallway, then he got backed into a wall. Cloud picked him up, and held the knife to his stomach.
"Cloud, no!!" Devin yelled, frozen in disbelief...
After a few seconds, Cloud realized what he was doing. He stared at Miles, who was obviously panicked. His eyes widened. He set Miles down, dropped the knife, and slowly stumbled over to his bed, looking down...
Devin quickly picked up the knife and disposed of it.
"You okay, Miles?" Bri asked...
"I'm fine..." he replied, regaining his composure, "I'm gonna check on Cloud..."
"After what he almost did to you?!?!?" Devin asked, shocked...
"Yes. Stay out here..."
Devin and Bri watched as Miles walked back into the room where Cloud was standing...
"Cloud..." he started...
"Miles..." Cloud replied, "I...I'm so sorry...for what I just did...I...had no idea I would go that far... You're...right...I do need a timeout. I just...overreacted...Please...forgive me..."
Cloud fell into Miles' arms, crying... Miles just held onto him and comforted him. "I forgive you, Cloud. It's alright..."
Cloud let go, and laid back down in his bed. "Cloud, you're right too..." Miles started, "about wanting to battle. You really want to, but you just can't because of all of this. I can see it. You have the urge to battle, and this stops you. Hopefully you can get out of here and battle our next opponent... So...I'm not gonna make you the sub, but you're definitely sitting out..."
"Yeah..." Cloud replied. "You guys should head to your match. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine..."
"Okay then..." Miles said, and he walked out...
Once he headed outside, he started walking towards the exit. He stopped and turned to his friends. "What are you guys standing there for? We got a battle to do!"
Devin and Bri nodded and ran after him.
They got into the limo, where the Phillipines team was waiting, and left.
"Is Cloud alright?" one of the bladers said.
"Yeah...." Miles replied. "He's working out some problems. He'll be fine, but he's definitely not battling..."
"Okay then... Well, we've seen you and your beys, now allow us to show you ours! I am Aron Dyl, the captain! I use VariAres D : D. This is Shea Kai, who uses Poison Aries AD145D. Neil Clover uses Rock Virgo 100SF, and our sub, Andrew Rae, uses Dark Wolf DF145FS. Nice to meet you..."
"So, what do we do when DJ asks about our missing member?" Devin asked..."
"Oh, don't worry..." Shea said, "I called him already saying he's not coming, and he told the crowd, too. You're fine..."
The two teams arrived and entered the coliseum. They applauded as the DJ entered...
"Welcome everyone!" he started, "This match today will be between the Phillipines and the US EastSide!"
He paused as the crowd applauded...
"Now.." he resumed, "Since Cloud from the US team is not here, he's sitting out. Phillipines, who's sitting out?"
"We sit out Andrew Rae..." Aron said, and Andrew stepped back...
"Okay, now, who's battling first?"
"Neil Clover..." Aron said, and Aron walked to the stadium...
"I pick...Bri Crawford!" Miles said, and she approached the stadium...
The two got ready, and were prepared for launch...
"Bladers, ready? 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
"These evil thoughts I'm getting are destroying my body..." He thought... "I have to find out what they mean, and do something about them..."

Bri's L-Drago and Neil's Virgo hit the stadium.
"The first battle is underway!" DJ announced.
L-Drago landed a strong attack on Virgo. Virgo scraped, then regained it's balance, now spinning slightly slower...
"That's his weakness..." She thought, "All I gotta do is make him scrape..."
Bri landed a barrage of attacks, making Neil's Virgo scrape like crazy. Virgo couldn't counter at all, and in no time, L-Drago depleted Virgo's spin and won the match.
The crowd applauded to Bri, and some gave a few good encouraging shouts.
Bri and Neil walked back to their teams. "Next up, Devin VS Shea!!" DJ announced...
Devin and Shea approached the stadium and readied for launch.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Corona and Aries landed in the stadium and charged at each other. Aries was only able to land two hit on Corona's track before Corona started dodging the rest of the attacks...
"Good strategy..." Shea complimented, "definitely a good strategy, but It's not gonna be that easy! Go Aries!!"
Aries once again charged at Corona. Corona tilted and blocked the charge...
"That's not my only trick, Shea!" Devin remarked. "I can block, too!!!"
"If so, let's see you dodge or block this!! Aries, Wind Storm Assault!!!"
Aries swirled up into the air in a tornado, and charged at Corona. After they made contact, a giant white ball of light formed from the attack, and the light engulfed both of the bladers. Nobody saw them.
"Shea!"
"Devin!"
Suddenly, a bey flew out of the white ball. It was Aries. The crowd watched in surprise as Shea walked out and fell in exhaustion.
Then the crowd was more surprised as Devin drudged out. His friends watched to see what he'd do. He rose his head to look at his teammates. Then he grinned, and rose his hand, holding Corona, the victor.
The crowd broke into a cheer as Devin walked over to his friends and celebrated.
"What a great battle there!" The DJ said "Devin survives the Attack, and wins Round 2!! Now, it's time for the last match, Miles VS Aron!"
Miles and Aron walked up to the stadium and readied their beys...
"Alright bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
VariAres and Pegasis hit each other, and a large spark flew from the clash.
"This is gonna be a big battle..." Miles thought. "What does Aron plan to do with VariAres?"
"The first battle is underway!" DJ announced.
L-Drago landed a strong attack on Virgo. Virgo scraped, then regained it's balance, now spinning slightly slower...
"That's his weakness..." She thought, "All I gotta do is make him scrape..."
Bri landed a barrage of attacks, making Neil's Virgo scrape like crazy. Virgo couldn't counter at all, and in no time, L-Drago depleted Virgo's spin and won the match.
The crowd applauded to Bri, and some gave a few good encouraging shouts.
Bri and Neil walked back to their teams. "Next up, Devin VS Shea!!" DJ announced...
Devin and Shea approached the stadium and readied for launch.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Corona and Aries landed in the stadium and charged at each other. Aries was only able to land two hit on Corona's track before Corona started dodging the rest of the attacks...
"Good strategy..." Shea complimented, "definitely a good strategy, but It's not gonna be that easy! Go Aries!!"
Aries once again charged at Corona. Corona tilted and blocked the charge...
"That's not my only trick, Shea!" Devin remarked. "I can block, too!!!"
"If so, let's see you dodge or block this!! Aries, Wind Storm Assault!!!"
Aries swirled up into the air in a tornado, and charged at Corona. After they made contact, a giant white ball of light formed from the attack, and the light engulfed both of the bladers. Nobody saw them.
"Shea!"
"Devin!"
Suddenly, a bey flew out of the white ball. It was Aries. The crowd watched in surprise as Shea walked out and fell in exhaustion.
Then the crowd was more surprised as Devin drudged out. His friends watched to see what he'd do. He rose his head to look at his teammates. Then he grinned, and rose his hand, holding Corona, the victor.
The crowd broke into a cheer as Devin walked over to his friends and celebrated.
"What a great battle there!" The DJ said "Devin survives the Attack, and wins Round 2!! Now, it's time for the last match, Miles VS Aron!"
Miles and Aron walked up to the stadium and readied their beys...
"Alright bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
VariAres and Pegasis hit each other, and a large spark flew from the clash.
"This is gonna be a big battle..." Miles thought. "What does Aron plan to do with VariAres?"

Pegasis and VariAres clash once again as the battle started heating up. VariAres was moving quickly, attacking Pegasis.
"Hang in there, Pegasis!" Miles shouted, "We can do this!!"
Then Miles saw something weird. As he hit VariAres, it jumped in the air and, instead of moving quickly like he expected, it became stable, and started withstanding the attacks.
"Huh?" Miles said. "Did you...switch modes or something?"
"Can't tell ya that..." Aron said, smirking.
Miles then watched as VariAres now gained stamina, and stayed very stable.
"How did he?" Miles said. "How do you keep changing these modes??"
"I told you, I'm not giving you the answer!" Aron replied...
Miles was frustrated. He couldn't fight Aron with all of the mode changing Aron was doing.
"I gotta find his weakest point. It's useless if I can't find that first..." Miles thought...
As VariAres attacked, Miles watched to see what happened in the clash. He then noticed that In Attack Mode, VariAres had the most recoil.
"That's it!" Miles thought, "If I hit him at the right point..."
"Go Pegasis!!" Miles shouted, "Wing Starbreaker!!!"
He landed the attack, but VariAres stayed in the stadium...
"Ha!" Aron said, "Looks like I can still stand up to ya, Hahaha!!"
"Urgh..." Miles hung his head. He couldn't believe Aron stood up to the attack, but after a few seconds, he rose his head and ignited his beyspirit.
"Alright, Pegasis!! Let's do this!! Special Move, Omega Star Nova!!!"
Pegasis gained a blue aura, and jumped into the air.
As it sped for VariAres, Aron hesitated. "Uh oh..." He said, "Vari!!!"
Pegasis smashed right on VariAres. Vari slid all the way to the edge, barely hanging on...
"Go, Pegasis! Finish him!!" Miles shouted.
Pegasis delivered one final smash to VariAres, which KO'd it, declaring Miles the winner.
The crowd erupted in a barrage of cheers and shouting.
"Thank you, Pegasis..." Miles said picking up his bey. He then walked over to Aron, who had his head hung.
"I let my country down..." Aron said.
"Don't say that..." Miles replied, "You still have several more chances. You can do it..." He held out his hand. Aron smiled and took his hand. The crowd applauded...
"Give it up for the winners, 3-0, USA EastSide!" DJ announced. "Good luck to you guys on your battle with the Czech Republic!!!"
The crowd applauded once again, and the two teams headed outside, where Cloud was waiting.
"God to see you're okay, Cloud!" Miles said.
"Yeah, I know..." he replied.
They entered the limo and headed for the airport...
"He had fun, guys..." Aron replied. "Good luck in the Czech!"
"Us too..." Miles replied, "and good luck to you guys in Russia!!"
The two teams waved good bye, and boarded their flights...
A few minutes after taking off, Miles received a phone call. It was from Iban Muhammed, the Indian team's captain. He went to the bathroom to escape the crowd.
"Hey Iban!" Miles replied, "S'up?"
"MILES!!" Iban shouted, "IT'S SCARY, SO SCARY! BE CAREFUL!!!"
"Woah, woah, woah!! Calm down, Iban, and just...tell me what happened..."
"We just had our battle with Russia!!"
"And?"
"It was a horrible sight... Babadan's in the hospital. The Russian team was vicious!!"
"Oh my god!! Is he gonna be okay??"
"Yes, he'll be fine, but I wanted to warn you. Their team is made of evil people!!"
"Wait, Iban. Was there a guy. Black eyes, had something that looked like Basalt 230CS??"
"Yes, he was the captain, but he didn't do too much to me. It was one of their other members!!"
"Who??"
"I don't know. He withheld his name, But he looked like such an evil figure. He had a purple aura, and his bey...ugh...his bey just destroyed Babadan and his bey..."
"What did the bey look like?"
"I couldn't see what all the parts were, but the metal wheel was a Diablo, and the bottom looked 4D...."
"A Diablo Bey with a 4D bottom. Okay Iban, let as many of the other teams as you can know about this. I need to know what the whole bey was..."
"I will. Man, i sure hope you guys will be able to do something when you face them--oh god..."
"What Iban?"
"Russia. They're after me!! AAAHHHHH!" Then, silence.
"Iban?? Iban what's wrong??" Miles asked. No answer...
Miles walked back outside with a shaken expression on his face...
"Miles? Miles, you okay?" Bri asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine..." He replied.
"Okay then...' she replied, and she turned to look out the window.
"A Diablo Bey with a 4D bottom..." Miles thought, "The thought of that is scary, but what bey is it, and what kind of person would use it for such a brutal, devilish thing? And R-Dev said he was on the Russian team!!! What if...no...he couldn't, he told me he changed, he wasn't going to let evil take him over again!!! Unless....no...could he have lied to me? Could it be a coincidence, or is he destroying everyone in his path to kill me and my friends??? Please don't let it be true..."
"Hang in there, Pegasis!" Miles shouted, "We can do this!!"

When the plane landed in Prague, Czech Republic, Miles was still thinking of the phone call he got from Iban.
"I can't believe this..." Miles thought, "Poor Iban. What could've happened to him? I do hope he's alive. But...who is that person who hurt Babadan. I know it might've been a Diablo wheel with a 4D bottom, but who could be wielding that??"
"MILES!!" Devin shouted, "Snap out of it!!"
Miles jolted. "What?"
"We are here..."
"Oh, okay..."
The four got off the plane and walked down the terminal. They found the Czech team in no time.
"Welcome to Prague, US team!" One of the boys said.
All four of them were wearing red shirts, and they all had white wristbands on.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Miles Serge, This is Devin Collins, Cloud Starcutter, and our sub, Bri Crawford!!"
"Nice to meet you all!! I am Jan. This is Jonas, Jasen, and our sub, Roneld. Our last names are quite hard to pronounce, heh..."
"Cool!" Miles replied, "What are your beys?"
"We usually hide ours until the battle..." Jonas replied, "It just adds some tension to both of us to know what each other's beys are when we fight!"
"I like that..." Devin replied. "Well, we should head to the coliseum. It's a night match, and we really don't wanna stay up longer than we need to..."
The Czech team laughed. "That's fine, then! Let's go to the coliseum!!"
They got into the vehicle, and within ten minutes, they arrived. "Wow, I like the checkered White and Red!" Devin said, looking at the coliseum.
"Thank you!" Jan replied, "It's really appreciated..."
The two teams walked out, and were greeted by an array of red, white and blue, the crowd cheering for both sides of this match. The DJ then came out to his podium.
"Halo, citizens and visitors!" He started. "Welcome to our very awaited match between the East Coast US and the Czech Republic!!"
He paused as the crowd cheered, then he resumed. "So captains, who's sitting out this match?"
"We sit out Bri Crawford..." Miles said, and she stepped back.
"We sit out Roneld Rashadavic..." Jan Said, and Roneld stepped back.
"I see..." DJ said. "Now, who's battling first?"
The captains pointed.
"So.." DJ announced, "The first match is...Jasen and Devin!!"
Both players walked to the stadium. "Bladers, present!" DJ commanded.
"Burn Corona 230D..." Devin said, showing it. The crowd let out a few oooh's and ahhhh's of interest.
"My bey is L-Drago Gaurdian S130MB." Jasen said, showing all of its grey and silver....
Both players attached their beys.
"Alright bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Corona and L-Drago landed in the stadium, and both started circling slowly.
"The battle has started!" the DJ announced, "So who will make the first move?"
After a few revolutions, L-Drago Charged, where Corona successfully dodged.
Corona attacked, and slightly nicked the edge of L-Drago. Then L-Drago attacked, and landed A direct hit, where Corona retaliated in a strong smash.
The battle was getting the crowd excited. "Wow! Already some good moves! Who's gonna make the move ot change it all?"
"I will!!" Jasen yelled, "Special Move, Soaring Bitestrike!!"
L-Drago then slammed a large attack into Corona. Corona flew up and started flying for the edge.
"NO!!" Devin yelled...
Corona landed on the edge, and spun back into play.
"Corona with a close save!!!" DJ yelled. "What's gonna happen next?"
"Charge L-Drago!!" Jasen yelled.
L-Drago charged at orona, but then Corona jumped, landing on the side of L-Drago and unbalancing it..
"Ah!" Jasen yelled.
"Go, Corona, Special Move! Dazzling Crown!!!" Devin yelled.
Corona jumped and landed right on L-Drago. L-Drago shook like crazy, and all of a sudden ,the bey exploded into its five parts.
The crowd cheered with excitement at the sight. "What a way to end the battle!!" DJ said, "Devin wins by Crash Out!!"
Devin shook Jasen's hand, and walked back to his team.
"So..." DJ announced, "The next match is Cloud VS Jonas!!"
Cloud and Jonas approached the stadium. "Alright..." Cloud thought, "I need to keep my calm. Put that thought behind me..."
"Bladers, Present!!" DJ announced...
"Shinobi Orojya 90WD." Cloud announced. The crowd applauded at the bey. It was the first Zero-G bey they've seen.
"Gravity Perseus AD145WD is my bey!" Jonas announced.
Both got ready for launch...
"Alright bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!"
Orojya and Perseus landed in the stadium, and quickly charged. A giant spark flew from the clash.
Cloud's battle would be very intense, and he knew it...
"I can't believe this..." Miles thought, "Poor Iban. What could've happened to him? I do hope he's alive. But...who is that person who hurt Babadan. I know it might've been a Diablo wheel with a 4D bottom, but who could be wielding that??"
"MILES!!" Devin shouted, "Snap out of it!!"

Cloud's battle would be very intense, and he knew it...
Spoiler (Click to View)
Orojya and Perseus clashed several times, sparks flying with every hit.
"Go, Orojya!!" Cloud yelled.
"Come on, Perseus!!" Jonas yelled...
The battle continued on as Cloud's friends watched.
"Um, Miles? One of the fans behind us has something to say to you..." Devin remarked...
"Uh, ok..." Miles replied, walking to the guy.
"I have some helpful things I've heard about that Jonas person there." the teenage boy said.
"Really? Like what?" Miles asked.
"Well, I've been down here a few times to see him battle. He's really quite impressive. I don't know why he's not captain!"
"What have you seen him do? Do you know some things about him?"
"I know he's competed in six tournaments, placing in all of them, winning three. He's the real deal, because of his bey. His bey has a special ability..."
"What is it?"
"Look at Perseus now..."
Miles looked and was shocked. He noticed that instead of spinning right like it was, it was now spinning left!
"What the? That's a...Dual-spin beyblade! Is that even legal? I've never seen one!"
"It's legal, alright. Aside from VariAres, it's the only dual-spin bey I know..."
"Wow... So Cloud..."
"Has his work cut out for him? Yeah..."
Well, I gotta thank you for the info..." Miles said, shaking the boy's hand, "What's your name?"
"Roderich. Roderich Edelstein..."
"Thank you, Roderich..."
"No problem... I'll be watching the matches. I know quite a bit. Lemme know if you need help with some stuff..."
Miles nodded, and turned to the match, "So, what'd I miss?"
"Cloud's almost done..." Devin said, "He's on the edge..."
Cloud was being pushed to the edge, almost getting KO'd.
"No..." Cloud thought. "I can't lose!! If I'm going down, he's coming with me!!"
"Go Orojya, Special Move! Unforgiving Bind!!"
Orojya's spirit emerged, and the snakes wrapped up Perseus, and at the same time Orojya was KO'd, Perseus was taken along, too! They both KO'd...
The crowd erupted in a large cheer of satisfaction. "Wow! What an interesting battle!!" DJ said, "The battle was well fought by both sides, and ended in a tie. What great effort by both bladers!!"
The crowd applauded as Cloud and Jonas shook hands.
"Good idea there, Cloud..." Jonas remarked. "You caught me off guard, hehe..."
"I know!" Cloud replied, "I didn't expect it to work!"
Cloud then walked back to his team, who was applauding his great effort.
"Alright, now it's time for the last match! Miles and Jan, to the stadium, please!!"
Miles approached, and so did Jan.
"Bladers, present!"
"Bandid Golem DF145BS!" Jan said.
Miles never saw this bey before, and was impressed, but he introduced his bey.
"Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS!!!" He yelled, and the crowd cheered.
Both Bladers readied their beys, and were prepared for launch.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Pegasis and Golem hit the stadium and quickly clashed.
"Now the the battle between captains is now underway!!!" DJ announced.
"Come on, Golem!" Jan shouted, "Charge at him with all your power!!"
"Go, Pegasis!!" Miles said. "Fight hard, fend him off!!"
Pegasis and Golem both fought hard, and never weakened...
"Go Golem!!!" Jan Shouted.
Golem jumped and charged quickly and repeatedly. Pegasis barely dodged every attack.
"Jeez!! How many times can he attack?!?!" Miles thought. "I Can't keep dodging!!!"
Finally, after what felt like hundreds of attacks, Golem hit the floor wrong, and was immediately destabilized.
"Ah, No! Golem!" Jan yelled..
"Let's finish this!" Miles yelled. "Special Move! Wing Starbreaker!!"
Pegasis flew up and struck right on GOlem, and Golem exploded into its five parts.
The crowd applauded and cheered. "What a great battle!" DJ announced. "Miles wins by Crash Out!!"
Miles picked up Pegasis, and shook Jan's hand.
DJ approached Miles with a microphone. "Miles that was indeed a great battle. How did the Czech team do, what are your thoughts on your next opponent, Brazil?"
"I gotta say, the Czech Republic is by far the hardest team we've faced so far! I really didn't expect that tie, and Goelm? Phew, such a head ache! Pegasis isn't made for dodging, and it had a lot of close calls.
As for Brazil, to be honest, they're probably gonna be hard, but definitely not as hard as this team was tonight. Thank you."
The crowd applauded as Miles and his friends left the stadium...
"Good luck to the East Coast US as they go to face Brazil!!"
Both teams left and went to the airport. They shook hands and the four friends departed for Brazil.
As the flight began, Miles received a call. This time, from Aron, the Phillipines Captain. He went to the bathroom and locked the door.
"Aron! You must be calling because you battled Russia! What happened?"
"Oh...my...god, Miles. So horrible. I let Neil battle, and....he's severely injured..."
"Who'd he battle?"
"A guy named Antoine Lenkun. He was brutal!!"
"Did he use a bey with a Diablo Wheel?"
"No, he used Saramanda Saramanda E230MB...
"Oh. Well, that still sounds brutal..."
"A person with Diablo did battle though. He didn't reveal his name..."
"Did you notice anything about the bey?"
"Well, I can confirm the Diablo wheel and 4D bottom. The bottom looked Bluish-purple, and was a very aggressive bottom..."
"Okay, thanks for the help. Oh, one more thing. What did the Captain do to you?"
"He didn't do much, but he won, alright. He whispered something like 'MS, I will get you..."
"Thanks for the help, Aron..."
No problem, and--Oh no, NO! GET AWAY!! AAAHHHH!!"
"Aron?!?! Aron, No!!"
Miles heard several sounds of what sounded like a knife stabbing a person, then silence...
Miles was frozen for a few seconds, then he asked. "Aron???" He said...
Then a Russian voice picked up the phone. "Don't worry about your friend Aron. He's not gonna die. We're just getting a point across..."
"Why are you doing this?!?!?"
"Ha Ha Ha, to show that we are the superior country, and that no weaklings will ever stand in our way. We will defeat every team, one, by one, and in due time, your team, Miles, will fall to us, and I'm sure somebody, would like to have a talk with you, once we win..."
"TELL ME WHO YOU ARE, NOW!!!"
"Heh, that is something for you to find out later... Enjoy your victories while they last, Miles, because it might be the end of your victories...along with one other thing you value...your life.
"Goodbye, Miles, we shall see you at the Finals...." Then the man hung up...
Miles was silent, too shocked to even think.
He walked out, and attempted to head back to his seat. Devin spotted him, and stood up to catch him.
"Woah, Miles! You okay..." He said.
"No..." Miles said, "Horrible...." He then fell to the ground. His blue eyes then turned deep gray, and he started seizing...
"Go, Orojya!!" Cloud yelled.
"Come on, Perseus!!" Jonas yelled...
The battle continued on as Cloud's friends watched.
"Um, Miles? One of the fans behind us has something to say to you..." Devin remarked...
"Uh, ok..." Miles replied, walking to the guy.
"I have some helpful things I've heard about that Jonas person there." the teenage boy said.

Well, I gotta thank you for the info..." Miles said, shaking the boy's hand, "What's your name?"
"Roderich. Roderich Edelstein..."
"Thank you, Roderich..."
"No problem... I'll be watching the matches. I know quite a bit. Lemme know if you need help with some stuff..."
Miles nodded, and turned to the match, "So, what'd I miss?"
"Cloud's almost done..." Devin said, "He's on the edge..."
Cloud was being pushed to the edge, almost getting KO'd.
"No..." Cloud thought. "I can't lose!! If I'm going down, he's coming with me!!"
"Go Orojya, Special Move! Unforgiving Bind!!"
Orojya's spirit emerged, and the snakes wrapped up Perseus, and at the same time Orojya was KO'd, Perseus was taken along, too! They both KO'd...
The crowd erupted in a large cheer of satisfaction. "Wow! What an interesting battle!!" DJ said, "The battle was well fought by both sides, and ended in a tie. What great effort by both bladers!!"
The crowd applauded as Cloud and Jonas shook hands.
"Good idea there, Cloud..." Jonas remarked. "You caught me off guard, hehe..."
"I know!" Cloud replied, "I didn't expect it to work!"
Cloud then walked back to his team, who was applauding his great effort.
"Alright, now it's time for the last match! Miles and Jan, to the stadium, please!!"
Miles approached, and so did Jan.
"Bladers, present!"
"Bandid Golem DF145BS!" Jan said.
Miles never saw this bey before, and was impressed, but he introduced his bey.
"Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS!!!" He yelled, and the crowd cheered.
Both Bladers readied their beys, and were prepared for launch.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Pegasis and Golem hit the stadium and quickly clashed.
"Now the the battle between captains is now underway!!!" DJ announced.
"Come on, Golem!" Jan shouted, "Charge at him with all your power!!"
"Go, Pegasis!!" Miles said. "Fight hard, fend him off!!"
Pegasis and Golem both fought hard, and never weakened...
"Go Golem!!!" Jan Shouted.
Golem jumped and charged quickly and repeatedly. Pegasis barely dodged every attack.
"Jeez!! How many times can he attack?!?!" Miles thought. "I Can't keep dodging!!!"
Finally, after what felt like hundreds of attacks, Golem hit the floor wrong, and was immediately destabilized.
"Ah, No! Golem!" Jan yelled..
"Let's finish this!" Miles yelled. "Special Move! Wing Starbreaker!!"
Pegasis flew up and struck right on GOlem, and Golem exploded into its five parts.
The crowd applauded and cheered. "What a great battle!" DJ announced. "Miles wins by Crash Out!!"
Miles picked up Pegasis, and shook Jan's hand.
DJ approached Miles with a microphone. "Miles that was indeed a great battle. How did the Czech team do, what are your thoughts on your next opponent, Brazil?"
"I gotta say, the Czech Republic is by far the hardest team we've faced so far! I really didn't expect that tie, and Goelm? Phew, such a head ache! Pegasis isn't made for dodging, and it had a lot of close calls.
As for Brazil, to be honest, they're probably gonna be hard, but definitely not as hard as this team was tonight. Thank you."
The crowd applauded as Miles and his friends left the stadium...
"Good luck to the East Coast US as they go to face Brazil!!"
Both teams left and went to the airport. They shook hands and the four friends departed for Brazil.
As the flight began, Miles received a call. This time, from Aron, the Phillipines Captain. He went to the bathroom and locked the door.
"Aron! You must be calling because you battled Russia! What happened?"
"Oh...my...god, Miles. So horrible. I let Neil battle, and....he's severely injured..."
"Who'd he battle?"
"A guy named Antoine Lenkun. He was brutal!!"
"Did he use a bey with a Diablo Wheel?"
"No, he used Saramanda Saramanda E230MB...
"Oh. Well, that still sounds brutal..."
"A person with Diablo did battle though. He didn't reveal his name..."
"Did you notice anything about the bey?"
"Well, I can confirm the Diablo wheel and 4D bottom. The bottom looked Bluish-purple, and was a very aggressive bottom..."
"Okay, thanks for the help. Oh, one more thing. What did the Captain do to you?"
"He didn't do much, but he won, alright. He whispered something like 'MS, I will get you..."
"Thanks for the help, Aron..."
No problem, and--Oh no, NO! GET AWAY!! AAAHHHH!!"
"Aron?!?! Aron, No!!"
Miles heard several sounds of what sounded like a knife stabbing a person, then silence...
Miles was frozen for a few seconds, then he asked. "Aron???" He said...
Then a Russian voice picked up the phone. "Don't worry about your friend Aron. He's not gonna die. We're just getting a point across..."
"Why are you doing this?!?!?"
"Ha Ha Ha, to show that we are the superior country, and that no weaklings will ever stand in our way. We will defeat every team, one, by one, and in due time, your team, Miles, will fall to us, and I'm sure somebody, would like to have a talk with you, once we win..."
"TELL ME WHO YOU ARE, NOW!!!"
"Heh, that is something for you to find out later... Enjoy your victories while they last, Miles, because it might be the end of your victories...along with one other thing you value...your life.
"Goodbye, Miles, we shall see you at the Finals...." Then the man hung up...
Miles was silent, too shocked to even think.
He walked out, and attempted to head back to his seat. Devin spotted him, and stood up to catch him.
"Woah, Miles! You okay..." He said.
"No..." Miles said, "Horrible...." He then fell to the ground. His blue eyes then turned deep gray, and he started seizing...

"Somebody give me a first aid kit, Now!!" Devin said to one of the flight attendants. She ran to get one, and came back seconds later. Devin opened it up...
"Yes, there is a shot in here..." Devin said, turning Miles on his side. "Cloud, Bri, hold him still..."
Cloud and Bri did so as Devin injected the shot into Miles' arm.
Within seconds, Miles turned over on his back, his eyes turned back to blue, and he stopped seizing...
"Ow..." Miles said, putting his hand on his head. "What the heck happened?"
"A seizure..." Devin replied...
"A seizure? Are you sure?" Miles asked.
"You were stumbling from the bathroom, then you said No when I asked if you were okay, then you fell and seized. Something wrong with you, buddy?"
Miles got up, silent, then he replied. "I...really think I should keep it to myself..."
"Really? You can tell us, it's okay..." Bri said...
"I just...feel that it's a "personal" issue..." Miles replied...
"Oh, that's fine then..." Devin said. "C'mon guys, we need to rest. We land in Brazil in the morning!!"
So the four got back in their seats and fell asleep.
That morning, around 7am, they landed in Brasilia and got off the plane.
As they walked down the terminal, they spotted the Brazilian team. All of the members were wearing Yellow Shirts with Blue jeans and Green sneakers. The two teams met up and went to the limo.
"Hi guys!" Miles said. "I'm Miles Serge, and my bey MF-H Wing Pegasis BD145CS. This is Devin, who uses Burn Corona 230D, Cloud Starcutter, who uses Shinobi Orojya 90WD, and our sub, Bri Crawford, who uses MF Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD!"
The Brazilian team admired the beys for a little before talking.
"Ola, US team! I am the captain, Pablo Macha! I use MF Leone 145D. This is Emilio Lula. He uses Rock Orso D125B. That's Juan Tsonga. He uses Rock Escolpio T125JB. Lastly, that's Guerrero Perez, and he uses Flame Libra T125ES."
Before they could continue talking, they reached the coliseum. The two teams entered, and were greeted by many Brazilian fans wearing red white and blue, along with their nations yellow and green.
Both teams stood by their flag as the Brazilian Dj came out.
"Hola! It's time for the match between East Coast US and Brazil! Captain's who is Sitting out?"
"We sit out Guerrero Perez..." Pablo said, and Guerrero stood back...
"What about you, US Captain?"
"Hmmmm..." Miles thought. "I'll sit out...Devin Collins!"
Devin stood back.
"Alright then, interesting! Who will battle first?"
The captains pointed...
"Ah, Cloud VS Juan!! Let's start it!!"
As the two approached the stadium, Miles turned to Devin. "You know why I sat you out, right?" He asked...
"Yeah..." Devin replied. "You not only wanna give them some play time, but you wanna see them prove themselves, since I've done well..."
Miles nodded and turned back. Cloud and Juan were ready for launch.
"Alright bladers, let's go! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
"Yes, there is a shot in here..." Devin said, turning Miles on his side. "Cloud, Bri, hold him still..."
Cloud and Bri did so as Devin injected the shot into Miles' arm.

Spoiler (Click to View)
Cloud's Orojya and Juan's Escolpio landed in the stadium, getting the first match underway.
"Attack, Escolpio!" Juan Commanded.
Escolpio then went into trying to attack Orojya. Orojya slid around by some of the hits, but withstood them, nonetheless... When Escolpio stopped, Orojya attacked, but Escolpio wouldn't budge a bit.
"Come on, Orojya! Shake him loose!" Cloud commanded.
Orojya started crashing on all sides. Escolpio moved with the attacks, but not as much as their other opponents...
"How is Juan's bey standing up to so many hits? He's not budging at all!" Miles thought, looking from the sidelines. "Hmmm...." Miles took a good look at Escolpio, then noticed the performance tip. "That tip is called a Jog Ball, but what's its function?" he thought. Observing the tip, he noticed the bumpy rough bottom was adding grip, and keeping it in place...
"Hehe... So, whatcha gonna do, Cloud?" Juan jokingly remarked...
"Well, that's not working..." Cloud said to himself. "Let's do this! Orojya, Air attack!"
Orojya started jumping onto the top of Orojya, but nothing was happening...
"Haha! Escolpio, Special Move! Toxic Stinger!!!" Juan commanded.
With only a little bit of space, Orojya dodged the One Hit KO Special Move. Orojya then started jumping on the sides of Escolpio, making the Rock wheel grind the ground.
"Ah!!" Juan said. "Escolpio!"
"Alright, let's do this!! Special Move, Orojya Spear!!" Cloud yelled.
Orojya jumped, the spirit assumed the spear shape, and Orojya pierced right into Escolpio, KO-ing it.
The crowd applauded and cheered at the amazing first match. "Our first round winner is Cloud! Congratulations!"
Cloud ran to his team, happy for his win...
"So..." DJ said, "Our next match is between Bri and Emilio!!"
Bri held onto L-Drago as she approached the stadium. She attached it to her launcher, while Emilio attached his Orso...
"Alright bladers, 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
L-Drago and Orso landed in the stadium. L-Drago quickly went into its special strategy. It dodged Orso's attacks, and stole its spin with each miss...
"Huh?" Emilio said, Intrigued, "How do you do that??"
"That's for me to know, and you to find out!" Bri replied...
After several misses, Orso was almost out of spin.
"Oh my, folks! Looks like Bri might have Emilio dome in!" DJ announced.
The crowd watched to see the finish. "I can't lose yet!!" Emilio yelled, "Special Move, Bear Claw Slash!!!"
Oros started charging at L-Drago, who was somehow stuck.
"Uh oh, what a change in momentum! If EMilio's Orso lands this hit, it's all over!"
"Oh no! What should I do???" Bri thought. "Hmmmm...I dunno if it'll work, but I should try!"
L-Drago then leaned, and the aggressive EWD tip slid L-Drago out of the way, causing Orso to slam into the wall. L-Drago stole the last bit of spin it had left to win the match. The crowd jumped up and down in excitement of the brilliant finish.
"Bri wins the second round by a brilliant Outspin!!" DJ announced, "Now, it's time! Miles and Pablo, to the stadium!!!
Miles smiled at Bri as he walked to the stadium. He attached his Pegasis, and Pablo attached his Leone.
"Alright bladers, let's go! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Pegasis and Leone landed in the stadium and stood still.
Who would make the first move?
"Attack, Escolpio!" Juan Commanded.
Escolpio then went into trying to attack Orojya. Orojya slid around by some of the hits, but withstood them, nonetheless... When Escolpio stopped, Orojya attacked, but Escolpio wouldn't budge a bit.

"Alright bladers, let's go! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Pegasis and Leone landed in the stadium and stood still.
Who would make the first move?
Spoiler (Click to View)
Leone was the first one to make a move. Leone quickly charged. Pegasis dodged and countered. Leone once again tried to strike, but missed and was once again countered.
"Hm..." Pablo said. "You're fast for a Defense type..."
"So are you..." Miles replied...
"Well, let's see you dodge this! Special Move! Attack in the Wild!!!" Pablo yelled.
Leone quickly started moving fast, chasing Pegasis. Pegasis tried evading and shaking Leone off, but Leone wouldn't stop chasing, and was getting closer no matter how fast Pegasis was...
"I can't let him hit me! He has too much power!!!" Miles thought quickly, "But...he's too fast. How can I possibly escape him??"
He then noticed Wing flash a light blue quickly...
"Huh? Must be a new special move!!" Miles thought. "Let's do It!!"
"Go Pegasis, Special Move, Heavenly Shield!!!" he yelled.
Pegasis stopped, and tilted, blocking Leone's attack. The clash was so strong that the stadium cracked a little. Pegasis stayed rooted, while the clash sent the feather-light Leone out of the stadium.
The crowd jumped up and down in unison to show their satisfaction. Miles waved to the crowd as they cheered.
"Miles seals it! 3-0, the US win over Brazil!!!" DJ yelled....
"Congrats, Miles..." Pablo said. "Good match. Now, Let's get you on your flight..."
The two teams shook hands and waved to the crowd as they left.
"Good luck to the East Coast US team as they leave to face the Samoans!! Our Brazilian team will face Russia!!"
The two teams got into the limo and left for the airport. They shook hands again and departed for their separate flights....
Almost done with their flight, while Bri and Devin were napping, Cloud asked Miles a question...
"Miles, I think there's something wrong. Would you be willing to tell me what made you faint on our last flight?"
"Not really. As I said, it's personal..." Miles replied...
"But I wanna help you!"
"NO!"
"Why no--"
"Dammit Cloud, I said NO..."
"Give me a reason, besides it being personal, why you shouldn't tell us..."
Miles sighed, and gave in. "Fine, you win..." he said, "but I don't wanna say it right here. Let's go to the back of the plane..."
The two went to the back, where nobody was at.
"Okay, Cloud...*gulp*...I think....I think, Russia is trying to injure and destroy all of the countries... There's this guy who's using a Diablo bey with a 4D bottom who's hurting them. I know that India and the Phillipines fell, and Brazil's next!! R-Dev's on that team, but for some reason, he's been having mercy on the captains, only to have them ambushed by the other members!! It's horrible, Cloud, horrible..."
Cloud was silent, and went into another flashback. He was standing. He saw the Diablo bey. He saw R-Dev laughing. both were sinister, but the last sight was the worst.
It was of a random team member, one they had not yet seen, holding a US flag as well, and a sillouette of a shadowy figure, and the shadowy figure had a knife, stabbing the member to death...
He then snapped out of his flashback. "Miles!" Cloud said, "I think my flashbacks and the attacking's are connected! I keep seeing Russia and death and hearing laughter...
This time...oh god...I saw...I saw another American competitor...he...got stabbed...to death... W-what do you think this means??"
Miles thought, then the horrible thought came to his mind. "I think it means...there's another US team...and if your flashback is correct, somebody on that team is not gonna be alive by the time this is all over with..."
The two stared at each other, silent, and scared of the possibilities...
"Hm..." Pablo said. "You're fast for a Defense type..."
"So are you..." Miles replied...
"Well, let's see you dodge this! Special Move! Attack in the Wild!!!" Pablo yelled.
Leone quickly started moving fast, chasing Pegasis. Pegasis tried evading and shaking Leone off, but Leone wouldn't stop chasing, and was getting closer no matter how fast Pegasis was...
"I can't let him hit me! He has too much power!!!" Miles thought quickly, "But...he's too fast. How can I possibly escape him??"

"Miles, Cloud, where are you guys???" Devin yelled. Both of them came from the back of the plane.
"There you are!" He said. "What were you guys doing?"
"Oh, um...y'know, just talking about stuff..." Miles said, hesitating...
"Hmmmm....something wrong, guys?" Devin asked
"No, not at all..." Cloud said calmly...
"Alright then..." Devin replied, "Get ready to land. We're almost in the Samoa!"
With in a few minutes, the plane landed. They got off and walked down the terminal. They spotted the Samoans in no time.
The Samoans were wearing gray sleeveless shirts, and brown, somewhat ripped up pants... The team led the four friends outside. The four friends caught a glimpse of a bright, beautiful view of the ocean right beside them...
"Wow! This place is beautiful!" Bri remarked...
"I'll say!" Miles added, "I's definitely visit again!!"
The two teams got into the vehicle and left for the coliseum.
"Thank you for saying all of that stuff about our island." One of the boys said, "It's greatly appreciated!!"
"Your very welcome!" Miles replied. "Allow us to introduce ourselves. I'm Miles Serge, and this is my Pegasis. That's Devin, and he uses Corona. That's Cloud, and he uses Orojya. Lastly, that's our sub, Bri, and she uses L-Drago."
"Nice to meet you! My first name is quite hard to say, so just call me Tambai. That's my nickname. I use MF. Libra DF145BS. That's Devonte Westbrook. He uses Basalt Aquario 230RB. That's my brother, Kumiha. He uses MF Aries 125D, and lastly that's our sub Tyshaun Marawa. He uses Poison Wolf 145FS. He's new to blading."
The two teams pulled up to the coliseum and entered. The roof was down, shining sunlight on the crowd. The Samoan crowd was holding up US flags and cheering for both sides as the teams entered. The DJ entered and was prepared to speak.
"Welcome, everyone, to our match between the East Coast US and Samoa!!! Let's this this started, shall we? Captains, who's sitting out?"
"Bri Crawford..." Miles said, and she stepped back...
"Tyshaun will sit out for us..." Tambai said, and Tyshaun stepped back...
"Alright then!" said the DJ, "Who will battle first?"
"Cloud Starcutter!" Miles said.
"Kumiha!" Tambai said.
"Alright!" DJ announced, "Our first battle is between Cloud and Kumiha!!"
Both bladers walked up to the coliseum. Cloud readied Orojya, while Kumiha readied Aries.
"Alright bladers, on my count! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Orojya and Aries hit the stadium and both started circling
"Special Move, Aries!! Stampede Tackle!!!" Kumiha immediately yelled.
Aries started charging several times towards Orojya. Orojya was able to dodge all of the attacks except one, and the one sent Orojya sliding into the barrier. Aries kept stampeding until Cloud came up with an idea.
Orojya moved to one of the gaps and stood still. Aries charged.
"NOW!" Cloud yelled.
Orojya dodged at the last second, and Aries flew up into the air.
"Let's finish him! Special Move, Orojya Spear!!!"
Orojya took its Spear form and charged upwards to Aries. A Direct hit. The shot threw Aries up into the DJ's hands.
The crowd, impressed, clapped and cheered for Cloud...
"Wow! Now that's a first for Samoa!! Cloud wins, sending the beyblade all the way up here!!" DJ yelled.
Cloud ran back to his team and high-fived all of his team mates.
"Alright, so our next Battle is Devin VS Devonte!!" DJ announced.
As he walked to the stadium, Devin thought. "Devonte's bey is similar to R-Dev's Impaler, only with an RB and a different Clear Wheel. I need to watch out. He might use similar tactics..."
With that, he attached Corona to his launcher, and readied for launch.
"Alright bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Corona and Aquario landed right into each other, and a big clash ensued.
Miles then froze. It was then that he realized that this battle might a have a similar result from the past...
"There you are!" He said. "What were you guys doing?"
"Oh, um...y'know, just talking about stuff..." Miles said, hesitating...
"Hmmmm....something wrong, guys?" Devin asked
"No, not at all..." Cloud said calmly...
"Alright then..." Devin replied, "Get ready to land. We're almost in the Samoa!"

"Your very welcome!" Miles replied. "Allow us to introduce ourselves. I'm Miles Serge, and this is my Pegasis. That's Devin, and he uses Corona. That's Cloud, and he uses Orojya. Lastly, that's our sub, Bri, and she uses L-Drago."
"Nice to meet you! My first name is quite hard to say, so just call me Tambai. That's my nickname. I use MF. Libra DF145BS. That's Devonte Westbrook. He uses Basalt Aquario 230RB. That's my brother, Kumiha. He uses MF Aries 125D, and lastly that's our sub Tyshaun Marawa. He uses Poison Wolf 145FS. He's new to blading."
The two teams pulled up to the coliseum and entered. The roof was down, shining sunlight on the crowd. The Samoan crowd was holding up US flags and cheering for both sides as the teams entered. The DJ entered and was prepared to speak.
"Welcome, everyone, to our match between the East Coast US and Samoa!!! Let's this this started, shall we? Captains, who's sitting out?"
"Bri Crawford..." Miles said, and she stepped back...
"Tyshaun will sit out for us..." Tambai said, and Tyshaun stepped back...
"Alright then!" said the DJ, "Who will battle first?"
"Cloud Starcutter!" Miles said.
"Kumiha!" Tambai said.
"Alright!" DJ announced, "Our first battle is between Cloud and Kumiha!!"
Both bladers walked up to the coliseum. Cloud readied Orojya, while Kumiha readied Aries.
"Alright bladers, on my count! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Orojya and Aries hit the stadium and both started circling
"Special Move, Aries!! Stampede Tackle!!!" Kumiha immediately yelled.
Aries started charging several times towards Orojya. Orojya was able to dodge all of the attacks except one, and the one sent Orojya sliding into the barrier. Aries kept stampeding until Cloud came up with an idea.
Orojya moved to one of the gaps and stood still. Aries charged.
"NOW!" Cloud yelled.
Orojya dodged at the last second, and Aries flew up into the air.
"Let's finish him! Special Move, Orojya Spear!!!"
Orojya took its Spear form and charged upwards to Aries. A Direct hit. The shot threw Aries up into the DJ's hands.
The crowd, impressed, clapped and cheered for Cloud...
"Wow! Now that's a first for Samoa!! Cloud wins, sending the beyblade all the way up here!!" DJ yelled.
Cloud ran back to his team and high-fived all of his team mates.
"Alright, so our next Battle is Devin VS Devonte!!" DJ announced.
As he walked to the stadium, Devin thought. "Devonte's bey is similar to R-Dev's Impaler, only with an RB and a different Clear Wheel. I need to watch out. He might use similar tactics..."
With that, he attached Corona to his launcher, and readied for launch.
"Alright bladers! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Corona and Aquario landed right into each other, and a big clash ensued.
Miles then froze. It was then that he realized that this battle might a have a similar result from the past...
Spoiler (Click to View)
Corona started circling Aquario, who was now stationary after their first clash.
"Go Corona, smash him!!" Devin exclaimed.
Corona tackled into Aquario, but Aquario held its ground...
"Just try and stay still, Aquario! We'll wear him out!" Devonte yelled.
After many more attenpts, Corona was finally wiggling Aquartio unstable...
"Dang, he shook Aquario loose..." Devonte mumbled...
"Now, let's do this!! Corona, Dazzling Crown!!!"
Corona jumped and landed a perfect hit. A dust cloud formed. Everyone was looking to spot the beys. When the dust cleared, they saw Corona spinning, and Aquario...also spinning!
"What the?" Devin said. "You stood up to that?!"
"Yep..." replied Devonte. "I've been training Aquario to do that. Now Aquario, Special Move, Tsunami Tirade!!!"
A giant wave erupted from Aquario, and engulfed Corona and Devin in the waves.
"Devin!!!" Miles yelled, watching helplessly. A tear came to his eye when he spotted Devin knocked out on the sandy floor.
"No..." Miles said to himself...
Then his hopes rose when he looked and spotted Corona still spinning as strong as it was when it started.
"It's still spinning??" Miles said, surprised, "But...but..."
Then Devin opened his eyes, pulled back, and in one swing of the body, got back to his feet...
The crowd erupted in surprise as Devin walked back up to the stadium.
"Come on, Corona, let's win this!! Special Move! Rainbow Gemstone!!!" Devin yelled...
Corona jumped and the giant rainbow formed. The crowd cheered and admired the Rainbow as Corona slammed right into Aquario and KO'ing it...
"What a marvelous comeback!!" the DJ shouted, "Devin wins the Match!!!"
Devin picked up Corona, shook Devonte's hand, and walked back to his friends. Miles gave him a big hug.
"Thank goodness, Devin..." Miles said in relief. "I thought you were done for after that wave..."
"It'll take a lot more than that to take me down, Miles..." Devin replied, "Now, go out there and show Tambai what you got!!!"
Miles nodded as he and Tambai approached the stadium for the last match. He readied Pegasis, and Tambai readied Libra.
"Alright bladers!" DJ announced. "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Pegasis and Libra landed in the stadium. Within an instant, Libra went invisible.
"WHA???" Miles yelled out in astonishment.
Libra was nowhere to be found, but the battle was still going on. What would Libra do in this tricky battle??
"Go Corona, smash him!!" Devin exclaimed.
Corona tackled into Aquario, but Aquario held its ground...
"Just try and stay still, Aquario! We'll wear him out!" Devonte yelled.
After many more attenpts, Corona was finally wiggling Aquartio unstable...
"Dang, he shook Aquario loose..." Devonte mumbled...
"Now, let's do this!! Corona, Dazzling Crown!!!"
Corona jumped and landed a perfect hit. A dust cloud formed. Everyone was looking to spot the beys. When the dust cleared, they saw Corona spinning, and Aquario...also spinning!

Pegasis and Libra landed in the stadium. Within an instant, Libra went invisible.
"WHA???" Miles yelled out in astonishment.
Libra was nowhere to be found, but the battle was still going on. What would Libra do in this tricky battle??
Spoiler (Click to View)
Everybody kept their focus on the stadium as Miles and Tambai were battling. Pegasis stood still, while Libra had landed and disappeared.
"Is Libra even in the stadium?" Miles asked.
"Oh, it's in the stadium, alright..." Tambai said. "Here's a hint!"
Then Libra came visible as it struck Pegasis, then it stood still...
"Go Pegasis!!!" Miles commanded. Pegasis did, but once again, Libra went invisible.
"I can't believe this..." Miles growled...
"But it's not cheating either..." Tambai said, 'It's just skill! Now Libra, Special Move! Quicksand Slowdown!!!"
Suddenly, the stadium turned to sand, just like the floor was, and Libra came visible. Pegasis started sinking.
"No Pegasis!" Miles yelled...
"Quite the tricky situation, huh?" said Tambai. "It's my new Special Move!"
Pegasis had to keep hopping up to stop being engulfed in the sand.
Miles was thinking to himself. "This is just unfair! Pegasis is sinking, I can barely move, and even if I can move, Libra turns invisible again. There's no way I can win!!!" Miles hung his head down in shame...
"Hey why you doing that??" Devin yelled from the sideline. "Don't hang your head, man! This battle ain't done yet!!"
"Come on, Miles! You and Pegasis have been in worse situations." Bri added, "What makes you think you can't get out of this one..."
"Pegasis. Pegasis. Pegasis..." Cloud started chanting, then Bri and Devin joined in. Then in mere moments several members of the crowd were chanting along. "Pegasis" was ringing through the coliseum. The sand started shaking, and becoming more solid...
"They're right!!" Miles thought, "I can do this!!"
Then he shouted. "I CAN WIN!!!" With those words, Pegasis bursted out of the sand, and the sandy stadium returned solid
"AH! That didn't stop you? Well, time to revert back to this!" Tambai said, and Libra went back to invisible. "Now what are you gonna do?" he asked Miles...
Miles closed his eyes. The crowd's chants quieted and everything except Pegasis disappeared from view, turning into a pitch black area. He then noticed Libra charge from the right.
"On the right!" Miles yelled, eyes still closed. Pegasis leaned to the right, and countered Libra's attack!
"Agh! How did you?" Tambai said in shock...
Libra tried to attack once again, this time from the left...
"Attack the left side!" Miles commanded, and once again, Pegasis countered Libra!
"Uh oh..." Tambai said, and Libra started running.
"Libra's running away! After him Pegasis!!!" Miles yelled, and Pegasis charged after Libra, hitting him every single time and making Libra turn visible.
Miles opened his eyes to find a destabilized Libra.
"Now Pegasis! Wing Starbreaker!!" Miles yelled.
Pegasis hopped into the air and landed a direct hit on Libra. Libra then flew out of the stadium. Miles had won.
The crowd surged into cheers and applaud at the sight of the win.
"What an amazing battle!!!" DJ announced. "Miles found a way around ALL of Tambai's move to come out on top!! USA wins, 3-0!!"
Miles picked up Pegasis, Picked up Libra and walked over to Tambai, his head hung in despair. Miles simply put Libra in Tambai's hands and whispered, "That was my favorite battle...", then he walked away.
DJ came down with a mic. "Miles, what an amazing comeback!!! You did an amazing job!! How was that battle, and is this one of the hardest teams you face so far?"
"Do doubt that it is one of the hardest, that's for sure..." Miles started, "But that battle with Tambai was just ruthless. I just couldn't believe that his bey would be able to do so many different tricks like that. He had me stumped for most of the battle!!!"
"Thank you, Miles." DJ said. "Congrats to the US team, and wish them luck as they head to Egypt!!!"
The four friends waved, and left. They got into the vehicle, drove t the airport, and got on their flight.
About halfway through the flight, Miles got a call from Pablo, the Brazilian Captain.
"Cloud..." Miles whispered. "I got one..."
Cloud and Miles both got up and snuck past Bri and Devin, who were both sleeping, to the back of the plane. Miles hesitantly answered the phone and put it on speaker, only to where he and Cloud could hear it.
"Pablo?" He started....
"Miles!! Everyone's right! Russia's bad, REALLY BAD!!! Juan's really hurt!!! He got destroyed by that Diablo guy everyone's talking about!!!"
"What did it look like?"
I didn't see it, but before Juan passed out, He said that the Clear wheel was a deep gray, almost black. And he said he looked up the 4D bottom. It's called X : D, or X-treme Drive. It can switch between XF and S. The reason it might've been moving so crazy is because it was in XF mode!"
"What about the Captain??" Miles asked. "What did he do to you???"
"Nothing actually... He won, nonetheless, but he didn't hurt me, didn't use a Special Move. He didn't even crush Leone at all! Unlike Juan's Escolpio, and--"
Miles and Cloud jolted when they heard a giant smash. it sounded like metal, and smeone falling to the floor. They shudered as a heavy breathing came onto the phone...
"Hello you two..." The Russian voice said...
"YOU!!" Miles said, "WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!?!"
"I did not do anything to any of them. I am Vladimir Tasseno, the sub for Russia..."
"Why do you guys want to be the superior country?" Cloud asked...
"The reason, is not to just dictate the world. It is so our two most powerful members, *static* and our Captain, can destroy everyone they'd like. And both of them, are targeting you two, so I'd watch what you do..."
"Why you little..." Miles growled.
"Oh, and one last thing. Cloud...visions..." Then he hung up...
"What does he mean?" Miles said...
"I don't kno--"
Then it hit Cloud. He had another vision. This time, There was Impaler, and a demonic laughing... The last sight was of the poor American blader getting stabbed again, but this time they got a sight of the murderer. The murderer had a purple aura, and was monster-like... Then Cloud snapped out of it...
"Cloud?" Miles asked. "What did you see?"
"Two things. A blader who was...inhumane..." Cloud Paused for a second. "And death...death to the world..."
"Is Libra even in the stadium?" Miles asked.
"Oh, it's in the stadium, alright..." Tambai said. "Here's a hint!"
Then Libra came visible as it struck Pegasis, then it stood still...
"Go Pegasis!!!" Miles commanded. Pegasis did, but once again, Libra went invisible.
"I can't believe this..." Miles growled...

Miles and Cloud came back to their seats, calm on the outside. On the inside however, they were terrified...
Devin was still asleep, but Bri was awake. Miles got into his seat next to her, quiet...
"Hey Miles!" She said happily. However, she went serious when she noticed him shaking just a little.
"Miles, is everything alright??" she asked...
He didn't answer.
"Aw, come on, Miles. I won't go into anything you don't want me to. Again, is everything okay?"
He hesitated, then he shook his head.
"Is it because of your "Personal" issue?"
He hesitated again, and nodded...
"Is it getting to you?"
Miles stayed still and silent.
"You can tell me, Miles. I care about you, and I want you to feel okay. It's getting to you is it?"
Miles closed his eyes, and a tear ran down his cheek as he nodded slowly.
"Awwww..." she said, frowning, and she hugged him, and he hugged back, crying a little.
After a few minutes, he let go. "Thank you, Bri..." He said quietly. "Thank you very much..."
About an hour later, around 7:30 PM, they landed in Cairo. The four friends walked off and down the terminal. They spotted the team in no time...
"Hey guys!!" Miles said. "Wait, one, two, three... Where's your fourth Member?"
"Our captain's in the hospital..." one of the boys said. "We played Russia first, and he got hurt just a little, so we're postponing our match until tomorrow morning. The Russian Captain really didn't do too much, but he got hurt for being a little too angry..."
"Oh...can we go talk to him?" Cloud asked.
"Sure!" another one of the boys said. "Let us take you there!"
When they walked out, they expected to see a lot of builldings and some sand, which, they did. What the four friends DIDN'T expect, was that it would be 112 degrees outside!
"Oh my god, it's hot!!!" Miles said, fanning himself...
Devin took his thicker shirt off for his thinner one. "I'll say!!!" he said...
" We're so sorry for the heat, guys..." one of the Egyptian boys said again. "We recently got told the forecast was heat around 110 for today... We're really sorry. Come on into the vehicle. It's cooler there..."
"Wow! How do you guys stand that?" Miles said after getting into the vehicle.
"We build a resistance to it over time. Allow us to introduce ourselves. I am member Safiro Mabara. I use Counter Scorpio 145D. This is Estuardo Tut. He uses Thermal Gemios T125SF. Lastly, that's our sub, Ahmir Lasad. He uses Thermal Lacerta WA130HF..."
"Nice to meet you!" Miles said. "I'm Miles Serge, and this is my bey, Pegasis! This is Devin Collins. He uses Corona. Cloud right there uses Orojya, and our sub Bri uses L-Drago..."
As soon as he stopped, they arrived at the hospital. They went in and went to his room.
"We're here to see Raj..." said Ahmir to one of the doctors outside the door...
"Okay then." One of them replied. "Mr. Kitzputa, some people are here for you!"
The two teams walked in...
"Hey Raj! How's it going?" Estuardo said...
"Really good, guys!" He replied. "I get out tomorrow! I'm guessing this is our opposing team?"
"Yep!" Safiro said. "This is sub member Bri, members Cloud and Devin, and the Captain, Miles. Guys, this our captain, Raj Kitzputa!"
"Nice to meet you all!" Raj said. "And this is my bey right here!"
He reached over to the counter beside him and showed his bey. "Jade Gil AD145WD..."
"Cool." Miles said. "Um, guys, can you go to the limo for a sec? Me and Cloud wanna ask Raj something private..."
Devin started. "And what would that b--"
He was interrupted by a punch to the stomach from Bri. "Sure thing, Miles..." she said, all of them except Cloud, Miles, and Raj were in the room.
"So Raj..." Miles started. "We got info about Russia, but they all got injured before they could tell anyone. Maybe you could help?"
"Yes..." Raj said..." I got defeated by someone whose name and Bey I forgot. He really wasn't aggressive like the others, but I got carried away and started yelling at him. That's how I got this..." He pointed to a large bandage on his head. "Anyways, I observed that Diablo bey you guys talked about. I know all of this: Definitely Diablo, Definitely the 4D bottom X : D, and the Clear wheel is a definite grayish-blackish mix..."
But before he could continue, disaster...
All of a sudden, there was a flash, then just as quickly, Miles was on the ground, screaming.
"MILES!" Cloud said.
"Miles, what happened?" Raj said, concerned.
Miles then replied weakly. "I...t-think I just got cut..." He turned over, and there was a bloody knife that had caught a part of the side of his leg... "It hurrrrrrts..."
"Nurse!" Raj yelled, carefully getting up. He, along with Cloud, then laid Miles on the bed. A nurse came in and started tending to the wound, while Cloud picked up the knife...
"There's a letter attached to it..." Cloud said.
"W-What's it say?" Miles asked...
"It's smeared..." He said.
"Here, I'll read it..." Raj said, taking the letter. He then read the letter:
Miles, Cloud...
We have warned you several times to count your blessings and give up. Yet even still, you and your team do not listen to us. Nine teams have fallen to us already. It is only a matter of time.
Since you aren't going to give up in trying to figure it out, I will tell you my bey...
It is Diablo Nemesis X : D. It is a defense type, just like yours...
Also, there is one member on your team I despise, I hate...
That is your fellow partner, Cloud Starcutter...
Cloud, you have been my hated enemy since we were friends in elementary school. You bladed with me for several years, then you turn your back on me and leave for the USA. How despicable....
You were my favorite Russian partner for eight years, then you quit on me, saying I became evil and wicked. How dare you...
I will make sure you are my opponent when the US faces Russia, and I will convert you back to your aggressive, insane Russian ways, no matter what it takes...
Oh, and one more thing...
Miles, Our captain you've heard of? It is. It is who you think it is. It is R-Dev, and he told me to tell you this:
Get ready to say goodbye to all your friends, because when you and I battle, I can guarantee that you're not walking away.
So I tell you again; count your blessings, and think before you make your next move...
-FiFKvERTaKLn EbFraVTgHTOPFSiDKnsEkOi
P.S., there's a clue to to my name in what I wrote, if you really want to know. Look carefully...

I know all of this: Definitely Diablo, Definitely the 4D bottom X : D, and the Clear wheel is a definite grayish-blackish mix..."
But before he could continue, disaster...
All of a sudden, there was a flash, then just as quickly, Miles was on the ground, screaming.
"MILES!" Cloud said.
"Miles, what happened?" Raj said, concerned.
Miles then replied weakly. "I...t-think I just got cut..." He turned over, and there was a bloody knife that had caught a part of the side of his leg... "It hurrrrrrts..."
"Nurse!" Raj yelled, carefully getting up. He, along with Cloud, then laid Miles on the bed. A nurse came in and started tending to the wound, while Cloud picked up the knife...
"There's a letter attached to it..." Cloud said.
"W-What's it say?" Miles asked...
"It's smeared..." He said.
"Here, I'll read it..." Raj said, taking the letter. He then read the letter:
Miles, Cloud...
We have warned you several times to count your blessings and give up. Yet even still, you and your team do not listen to us. Nine teams have fallen to us already. It is only a matter of time.
Since you aren't going to give up in trying to figure it out, I will tell you my bey...
It is Diablo Nemesis X : D. It is a defense type, just like yours...
Also, there is one member on your team I despise, I hate...
That is your fellow partner, Cloud Starcutter...
Cloud, you have been my hated enemy since we were friends in elementary school. You bladed with me for several years, then you turn your back on me and leave for the USA. How despicable....
You were my favorite Russian partner for eight years, then you quit on me, saying I became evil and wicked. How dare you...
I will make sure you are my opponent when the US faces Russia, and I will convert you back to your aggressive, insane Russian ways, no matter what it takes...
Oh, and one more thing...
Miles, Our captain you've heard of? It is. It is who you think it is. It is R-Dev, and he told me to tell you this:
Get ready to say goodbye to all your friends, because when you and I battle, I can guarantee that you're not walking away.
So I tell you again; count your blessings, and think before you make your next move...
-FiFKvERTaKLn EbFraVTgHTOPFSiDKnsEkOi
P.S., there's a clue to to my name in what I wrote, if you really want to know. Look carefully...

Raj, Cloud and Miles walked out, Raj and Cloud carrying Miles, all three thinking about the letter.
Devin Ran out to them to see if everything was okay. Miles showed the cut on his leg.
"Ouch! How did that happen?" He asked.
"I really have no idea..." Miles replied.
After all eight of them were in the car, they drove off.
"Well, since both of us are hurt a little..." Raj said. "Keep the match postponed until tomorrow?"
"Yeah..." Miles said. "Agreed..." Bri added.
"Okay then..." Raj said, "You guys can stay at a hotel we reserved for you guys just in case you needed it..."
The vehicle pulled up to the hotel. "Thanks, guys..." Miles said, and the four friends entered the hotel and went to their room...
Once they were in the room, Cloud said to Miles, "Miles, I think, we need to get it over with, and just tell them what's going on..."
"Huh???" Miles said, startled, "W-W-Why???"
"It's only a matter of time, dude..." Cloud said, "They have to find out sooner or later...."
"B-But..."
"What are you guys talking about?" Bri and Devin said in unison.
Miles sighed... "It's just.....uh...it's..."
"C'mon Miles, tell us!" Devin said. "You can tell us man, just let it out!"
Miles screamed. "ALRIGHT!!! The Russian team is trying to rule the world!! They are injuring and hurting all of the other teams to get to us!! R-Dev's evil again and he wants to desperately murder me!!! To make it worse, anther guy with a Diablo Nemesis X : D is demolishing everyone in his path and I'm terrified that maybe nothing will be able to stop them and the entire world will get enslaved by R-Dev and that I will not be able to walk away with my life!!!!!"
Devin and Bri stood quiet, shocked. They turned to Cloud, and he nodded.
Miles then fell to the floor, crying...
"Oh my god...no wonder he's been in so much pain..." Bri said...
"I can't believe what I just heard..." Devin added, "And I can understand how that's hurting him..."
"It was just too much to hold onto..." Miles said, still crying. "But I was also afraid of what you guys would say, and...I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier..."
"It's okay Miles..." Bri said, and she walked up to him and hugged him.
"It's a good thing you told us, now together we can stop them..." Devin added, putting his hand on Mile's shoulder...
"And we'll help you to the very end to defeat them..." Cloud finished
Miles stood up and gave all of his friends a big hug... "Thank you so much guys..." He said. "I feel so much better now..."
"Great..." Bri said. "Now, we better go to bed. It's getting late..."
"Yeah..." Devin replied. Come on, Cloud, let's go...", and Devin and Cloud went to their room...
Miles and Bri climbed into their bed, too...
"I'm very proud, Miles..." she said to him. "It really is a good thing you told us..."
"Thanks, Bri..." he replied back...
"So, we gotta battle tomorrow...."
"Yeah..."
"What are you thinking for that?"
"Hmmm...I'm thinking that I'll start you..."
"Really? I really don't use a special move often. What if they're able to stop my spin-stealing and beat me?"
"Don't say that, Bri. You can do it, no matter what is thrown at you..."
"You think so...?"
"I know so..."
"Thanks, Miles... You're so encouraging... Well, we better go to bed..."
"You're right. I need some rest, and so do you..."
"Oh, but one more thing, Miles..."
"Yeah, Bri?"
She hugged him. "I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you told us what was going on...."
She then gave him a kiss on the lips. He kissed back...
"Goodnight, Miles..."
"Goodnight, Bri..."
The two hugged each other and together fell into a deep sleep...
Devin Ran out to them to see if everything was okay. Miles showed the cut on his leg.

The alarm went off by their bed. Miles turned the clock off and got up. He woke to find that Bri wasn't in the bed.
"Bri?" He said, getting up, "Where are you?"
He looked over the bed to find that she fell onto the floor, and was still asleep. Miles couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Bri woke up to his laughing. "What are you laughing at?" she said...
"Look at yourself!" he replied. She noticed she was on the floor, and she began laughing as well. Miles helped her off the floor. "So, how'd that floor feel?" Miles said jokingly.
"Really good, actually!" she replied. "Anyways, we should go ahead and wake the boys up..."
"I'll take care of that..." Miles said, pulling out an air horn from his backpack that he brought with him.
"I know where this is going..." Bri said, covering her ears...
Miles walked up to the closed door and let out a short burst from the air horn. He heard a thump from the room...
"OWWWWWWWWWW!!!" Devin yelled. He opened the door, rubbing his head. Miles and Bri couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at Cloud! He's getting up as if nothing happened!" Bri said, astonished...
"Something happened, alright..." he replied.
Devin then started. "He's used to it because when he was in the barracks--"
"Don't you dare do another War reference!" Cloud said sternly...
"Okay, fine. Anyway, we better get ready..."
A few minutes later, the four friends left the hotel and raced each other to the coliseum.
"Haha, I win!" Cloud said.
"Yeah, well I was pulling weight!" Miles replied, pulling Devin in front of him, who then collapsed in fatigue.
Devin tried to catch his breath on the ground. "Cloud runs fast! Maybe that training at--"
"Dammit, Devin!" Cloud yelled.
The Egyptian team waved the team to the entrance. They walked there, and together the two teams walked out to a giant crowd, bigger than the last ones. About 7,500 fans cheered and yelled, waving Egyptian and US flags. The announcer walked out. He was an elderly man, about the age of sixty, sporting a walking stick, holding a microphone.
"Well everybody, in my thirty years of announcing events, I have never been so eager for an event! Welcome all to the beyblade match between Egypt and the US!!!"
He paused as the crowd cheered.
"Now, let us start! Captains, who will sit out?"
"Cloud will sit out on our side..." Miles replied, and Cloud stepped back.
"Okay then. How about your team, Raj?" the announcer asked.
"We sit out Ahmir Lasad and his Lacerta..." he replied, and Ahmir stepped back...
"Okay then! Who will battle first?"
The Captain's Pointed...
"I see, so Devin and Estuardo, to the stadium!"
Both approached the stadium. Devin readied his Corona, and Estu, as his friends called him, readied Gemios.
"Alright, let's get started!" the announcer said, "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Corona and Gemios landed and immediately started attacking. Gemios attacked first, but missed. Corona then tried to counter, but missed as well. Corona tried again, and landed a hit right on Gemios. Gemios then countered and delivered a return attack. The clashing continued for some time before Estu got bored.
"Go Gemios! Twin Sand Twister!!!" he yelled.
Gemios then swirled up two Sand twisters tah tstarted circling the stadium, forcing Corona to the inside, where Gemios kept combo-ing Corona with attacks.
"Hmmmm...." Devin thought. "I think I can get out of this..."
Corona then dodged Gemios' next attack, and started circling inside the stadium counter-clockwise, opposite of the tornadoes. After several spins, the tornadoes died out.
"Agh, you countered my move!" Estuardo said.
"I did! Now I'm gonna show mine! Corona, Dazzling Crown!!"
Corona flew up into the air and landed right on the edge of Gemios, KO-ing it.
The crowd applauded in satisfaction. "With that, our first winner is Devin!" the announcer said. "Now, our next battlers please!"
Bri and Safiro stepped up to the stadium, both high-fiving their partners. Bri readied L-Drago, while Safiro readied Scorpio...
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
L-Drago and Scorpio landed right in the stadium and started circling each other...
"Miles said I can do this..." Bri thought to herself. "...and he's right. It'll take a little bit of work, but I can do this..."
"Bri?" He said, getting up, "Where are you?"
He looked over the bed to find that she fell onto the floor, and was still asleep. Miles couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Miles said I can do this..." Bri thought to herself. "...and he's right. It'll take a little bit of work, but I can do this..."
Spoiler (Click to View)
Scorpio was the first to make a move as it charged towards L-Drago. L-Drago leaned and slid out of the way of the attack. Scorpio charged again, and nicked the side of L-Drago, hitting the rubber.
"Keep dodging, L-Drago!" Bri commanded.
"You can do it, Scorpio! You can land a hit!" Safiro yelled.
Scorpio kept charging and charging, but couldn't land one hit on L-Drago.
"Looks like L-Drago's doing a remarkable job at dodging!" the announcer said. "I wonder which way this battle will go..."
"This way!" Safiro yelled. "Scorpio, Special Move! Counter Sting!!!"
A yellow aura rose from Scorpio, and A Scorpion emerged. L-Drago tried to steal spin from Scorpio, but it couldn't do anything.
"Oh no! I can't steal his spin! I can't do anything..." She thought, sadly. Then her hopes rose. "Wait...Maybe if I dodge this...yeah, that'll work!!
"Go, Scorpio!!!" Safiro yelled.
"Dodge, L-Drago!!!" Bri yelled, and at just the right time, L-Drago dodged the Special Move!
"Attack, L-Drago!" Bri commanded.
L-Drago then started strongly attacking Scorpio, forcing it to the edge...
"What a turn of events, everyone!" the announcer said. "Is it all over?"
"Yes it is!" Bri chimed in. "Special Move, Dragoon Fire Rampage!!!"
An Orange, fiery aura rose from L-Drago, and the Dragon emerged and attacked, KO-ing Scorpio.
The crowd applauded in a large cheer. "What a fantastic battle! Bri is the winner!"
Bri picked up her bey and ran to her teammates. She gave Miles a hug.
"Thanks, Miles..." she said. "Now go out there and show them what you got!"
Miles nodded and headed to the center. So was Raj.
"Now, it is time for the final match!!" The announcer said. "Miles and Raj in the final round!!"
Pegasis and Gil were attached to their launchers, and the two were ready....
"Alright bladers, let's go!" the announcer said. "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Pegasis and Gil were ripped into the stadium, and both stood still.
"The battle starts with a standoff..." the announcer said. "What's gonna happen first?"
After a few more seconds, Gil charged. Pegasis dodged it just in time. Gil delivered another attack. This time it was spot on, and it slid Pegasis back a little.
"Hang in there, Pegasis..." Miles said...
"You can do it, Gil..." Raj said....
Gil then ran around the stadium once and landed a good attack on Pegasis. Pegasis was once again knocked back a bit.
"Show em what you got, Pegasis! Special Move, Wing Starbreaker!!!" Miles commanded.
Pegasis flew up and landed right on Gil, who flew into the wall, but was still spinning.
"Wow!" Miles said, shocked. "How'd you stand up to that?"
"Walls. Gotta love em..." Raj remarked. "Now, Gil, Special Move! Water's Shadow!!!"
Jade released a giant wave that drenched Pegasis, but Pegasis withstood the attack with only a little space left between Pegasis and KO.
"Charge him, Pegasis!" Miles commanded.
"Attack him head on, Gil!" Raj yelled.
Gil and Pegasis met in the middle and clashed with a lot of force. Neither was able to push the other back!
"Let's do one last Special Move, to see who's the best!!" Miles said.
"Agreed. Let's do it!" Raj replied.
"They're gonna charge at each other with all force!" the announcer yelled. "Who's going to be the strongest?"
"Pegasis, Universal Star Ringer!!!" Miles yelled.
"Gil, Water Dragon of the Jade!!!" Raj yelled.
The two beys clashed as the blue and Purple aura's swirled, and a giant explosion knocked the two bladers backward, off their feet.
The crowd looked to see who was the victor.
"Why, here they are!" the announcer said, pointing in front of his stand.
The announcer picked up both Pegasis and Gil and held them up. "The final round ends in a tie!!!"
The crowd surged into a loud cheer, obviously satisfied.
"Ever since I started judging beyblade, I have never had such a thing happen to me!" the announcer said, giving the beys back to their owners. "I am absolutely shocked by the show I have seen today. Despite the tie, the US wins 2-0, but let's congratulate both teams on a well fought battle!!!"
The crowd applauded as the two teams left the stadium.
"Good luck to the US team as they face Italy!!"
The two teams left for the airport. Both teams shook hands, and they left for their flights.
"Keep dodging, L-Drago!" Bri commanded.
"You can do it, Scorpio! You can land a hit!" Safiro yelled.
Scorpio kept charging and charging, but couldn't land one hit on L-Drago.
"Looks like L-Drago's doing a remarkable job at dodging!" the announcer said. "I wonder which way this battle will go..."
"This way!" Safiro yelled. "Scorpio, Special Move! Counter Sting!!!"

On the flight, Miles was sitting quietly, thinking.
"Hey Miles, what are you doing?" Bri asked from Beside him. "You're awfully quiet..."
"Thinking of all of the things going on right now..." he replied...
Bri leaned in and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry you have to go through all of this..." she said.
"I'm even sorry for myself..." he remarked back. "It's just...a lot for me to take..."
"You'll get through it." she said. "I know it..." She kissed him on the cheek. He blushed a little.
"Thanks Bri..." he replied.
"Attention everybody." The pilot said over the intercom. "We will be making our landing into Venice, Italy in a few moments..."
The plane rolled to a stop on the runway, and the four friends walked down the terminal.
"The Italian Captain said that they will meet us at the coliseum." Devin said. "We just have to walk the short distance there..."
When they walked out, they got a great view of the city of Venice.
"Oh my!" Bri said, in awe. "Such a beautiful place!"
"This looks like somewhere I'd live for sure!" Cloud added.
They started walking down the street.
"Hey Devin, you have some money? I wanna get some food..." Miles asked.
"Of course you do..." Devin replied, giving him the money. "We'll meet you there..."
"Okay!" Miles said, and he ran down the street and took a left, disappearing from view of his friends.
However, his run was interrupted wen someone stopped him and dragged him into a back alley between two buildings.
"When he finally was able to open his eyes, he was shocked.
"R-DEV?!" he said, in shock. He was stopped from saying more when R-Dev pinned him against the wall and held a knife to his neck.
"Stay still, and I won't make it as bad as I have to..." R-Dev replied, in the deep demonic voice he had in their last battle.
Miles didn't struggle, but he was freaking out. "R-Dev, why are you doing this to me?! Why are you so destined in killing me?!?!"
He didn't answer, but then he got a sudden connection somewhere within R-Dev. He closed his eyes, and who was before him? R-Dev's conscious, fighting to escape.
"R-Dev?" Miles said in his mind.
"Miles! You know that R-Dev out there. He's not me, you know that right?!"
"Yes, I do. Y...You're the R-Dev that befriended me, for sure!!!"
"I am, but when I went to Russia, this guy brainwashed me into evil! I've been trying to break out, but I couldn't!! Seeing all of the countries fail to bring me down...it's horrible..."
"I knew it! You couldn't possibly have lied to me! Something had to have happened, and it did!! What are your teammate's names?"
"Hang on, um....our sub's Vladimir, our member is Antoine, and the other guy...he never told any of us his name..."
Then Miles witnessed as the force in R-Dev's mind started pulling R-Dev back...
"I can't keep hanging on, Miles..." R-Dev's mind said. "I gotta stop talking..." and he disappeared...
Miles opened his eyes to see R-Dev still with the knife, still pinning him to the wall...
"You monster!!!" Miles yelled. "You evil moster, LET ME GO!!!! I want my life, a fighting chance for it! This is unfair, just let me go!!!!" Tears started rolling down his face.
R-Dev was quiet. Then he replied. "Fine, I'll spare you for now, but this doesn't mean you're getting away scratch-free..."
"Wha..." Miles said, confused.
He got the answer when R-Dev landed several brutal punches, either to the stomach or face. R-Dev stopped with one large hit to the chest, knocking the air out of Miles. R-Dev then dropped Miles and disappeared into the air. Miles tried catching his breath, and as he slipped away, he saw four blurry shadows walking towards him.
He woke up in what seemed to be an infirmary, rather than a hospital.
"Owwww...my head..." Miles said.
A boy with a blue shirt, blue scarf, short brown hair, and blue jeans walked in to find him awake.
"Guys, he's awake!" the boy said.
Three other boys, one wearing a yellow C on their shirt, walked into the room.
"W-Who are you guys?" Miles said.
"We're the Italian Team..." one of the boys said.
"You...You guys saved me?" Miles asked.
"Yep." another boy said. "We found you beaten up in an alleyway and carried you here to the infirmary in the coliseum. He knew by the attack pattern that it was definitely one of those Russian guys who did it..."
"Now..." another boy said. "We need to make sure that you know what you know. First, what is your name?"
"Um...Miles Power Serge..."
"How old are you?"
"Uh, 13, 14 on October 16th..."
"What is your Beyblade?"
"Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS..."
"Who are your three teammates?"
"Devin Collins, Cloud Starcutter, and Bri Crawford..."
"Who are your rivals?"
"Russia..."
"Okay, you're good...."
A few minutes later, Devin, Cloud, and Bri walked through the door. Cloud pointed Miles out and the three ran to him.
"What the hell happened?" Devin said.
"A Russian, most likely R-Dev, beat up Miles in a back alley." one of the boys said, "We picked him up and carried him here. He was only knocked out for about ten minutes after we got him here. He's okay now..."
"Good. You okay enough to battle, Miles?" Devin asked.
"Yeah, totally." Miles said climbing out of his bed and walking over to him...
"Oh yeah, we forgot to introduce ourselves to you guys! I am the captain, Franco Rousso! I use Gravity Perseus BD145MF. This is Xaviere Benatolli. He uses Flame Byxis 230WD. This is Benito Linguini. He uses Flame Cancer 100SF, and that's our sub, Gragory Masalini, and he uses Rock Bull WD145RF. No need to introduce yourselves. We already all know your names. Anyways, let's go on out to the arena!"
The two teams walked out to a white and blue colored crowd, cheering for both sides.
"This is by far the friendliest country we've been to..." Miles said.
The DJ then walked out and the crowd silenced.
"Welcome everyone, to the beyblade battle between the USA and Italy! Let's get it underway! Captains, who's sitting out?"
"We sit out Gregory..." Franco said, and Gregory stepped back...."
"Hmmmm...We sit out Devin Collins!" Miles replied, and Devin stepped back.
"Alrighty then, interesting choices!" DJ said. "Who's battling first?"
"I will!" Cloud replied, raising his hand.
"As will I!" Benito said, also raising his Hand.
"Okay then, so the first match is Benito and Cloud!" DJ announced.
The crowd applauded as the two got their beys ready.
"Ready!" DJ asked, and the bladers nodded... "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Orojya and Cancer landed and struck directly. "Ah, you're a short one!" Benito said. "It's gonna be harder to use my destabilizer!"
"Destabilizer?" Cloud thought. "What does he mean??"
"Hey Miles, what are you doing?" Bri asked from Beside him. "You're awfully quiet..."
"Thinking of all of the things going on right now..." he replied...
Bri leaned in and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry you have to go through all of this..." she said.
"I'm even sorry for myself..." he remarked back. "It's just...a lot for me to take..."
"You'll get through it." she said. "I know it..." She kissed him on the cheek. He blushed a little.
"Thanks Bri..." he replied.
"Attention everybody." The pilot said over the intercom. "We will be making our landing into Venice, Italy in a few moments..."
The plane rolled to a stop on the runway, and the four friends walked down the terminal.
"The Italian Captain said that they will meet us at the coliseum." Devin said. "We just have to walk the short distance there..."
When they walked out, they got a great view of the city of Venice.
"Oh my!" Bri said, in awe. "Such a beautiful place!"
"This looks like somewhere I'd live for sure!" Cloud added.
They started walking down the street.
"Hey Devin, you have some money? I wanna get some food..." Miles asked.
"Of course you do..." Devin replied, giving him the money. "We'll meet you there..."
"Okay!" Miles said, and he ran down the street and took a left, disappearing from view of his friends.
However, his run was interrupted wen someone stopped him and dragged him into a back alley between two buildings.
"When he finally was able to open his eyes, he was shocked.
"R-DEV?!" he said, in shock. He was stopped from saying more when R-Dev pinned him against the wall and held a knife to his neck.
"Stay still, and I won't make it as bad as I have to..." R-Dev replied, in the deep demonic voice he had in their last battle.
Miles didn't struggle, but he was freaking out. "R-Dev, why are you doing this to me?! Why are you so destined in killing me?!?!"
He didn't answer, but then he got a sudden connection somewhere within R-Dev. He closed his eyes, and who was before him? R-Dev's conscious, fighting to escape.
"R-Dev?" Miles said in his mind.
"Miles! You know that R-Dev out there. He's not me, you know that right?!"
"Yes, I do. Y...You're the R-Dev that befriended me, for sure!!!"
"I am, but when I went to Russia, this guy brainwashed me into evil! I've been trying to break out, but I couldn't!! Seeing all of the countries fail to bring me down...it's horrible..."
"I knew it! You couldn't possibly have lied to me! Something had to have happened, and it did!! What are your teammate's names?"
"Hang on, um....our sub's Vladimir, our member is Antoine, and the other guy...he never told any of us his name..."
Then Miles witnessed as the force in R-Dev's mind started pulling R-Dev back...
"I can't keep hanging on, Miles..." R-Dev's mind said. "I gotta stop talking..." and he disappeared...
Miles opened his eyes to see R-Dev still with the knife, still pinning him to the wall...
"You monster!!!" Miles yelled. "You evil moster, LET ME GO!!!! I want my life, a fighting chance for it! This is unfair, just let me go!!!!" Tears started rolling down his face.
R-Dev was quiet. Then he replied. "Fine, I'll spare you for now, but this doesn't mean you're getting away scratch-free..."
"Wha..." Miles said, confused.
He got the answer when R-Dev landed several brutal punches, either to the stomach or face. R-Dev stopped with one large hit to the chest, knocking the air out of Miles.

Orojya and Cancer landed and struck directly. "Ah, you're a short one!" Benito said. "It's gonna be harder to use my destabilizer!"
"Destabilizer?" Cloud thought. "What does he mean??"
Spoiler (Click to View)
Cloud's Orojya and Benito's Cancer clashed several times, neither of them budging from their spots.
"Keep attacking, Orojya!" Cloud commanded...
"Block em all, Cancer!" Benito said.
Eventually, Cloud got tired and attacked. "Orojya Spear!" He yelled, and Orojya flew up and struck right on the side of Cancer, but instead of a KO, Cancer started wobbling, hitting the underside of the 90-track beyblade. The hits started slowing Orojya down quick.
"Oh no! I'm almost out!!!" Cloud yelled.
"Go Cancer! Destibilizer Smash!" Benito yelled.
However, before Cancer got up high, Orojya jumped and the two beys slammed into the stadium...
"What the?" Benito said, shocked, and the two beys were wobbling closely. "It's gonna be down to the wire!" Dj said...
Then, Cancer stopped, with Orojya stopping one spin later. Cloud had won.
The crowd, surprised, applauded for Cloud. Cloud picked up Orojya and walked back to his team.
"Next up, Bri VS Xaviere!!" DJ announced, and the two walked to the stadium. Bri attached L-Drago, and Xaviere prepared Byxis...
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
L-Drago and Byxis landed right into the stadium. L-Drago the went into spin-stealing, but Bri noticed that Byxis lost no spin when it was touched.
"How are you not losing spin?" she said, confused.
Xaviere laughed. "Silly girl! Spin-stealing never works on 230!!"
Bri gasped. Her best and most effective strategy was useless. She had to try something different. She then used head on attacking, more effective but still didn't budge Byxis.
"Byxis, Special Move!!! Destiny Needle!!!" Xaviere yelled.
A giant compass needle took over the stadium. The needle started spinning, Chasing L-Drago.
"Oh no! It's gonna wipe me out!" Bri thought. "Maybe if..."
She then moved L-Drago to the farthest edge and avoided the giant swipe.
"Argh! Missed it!" Xaviere yelled.
"That worked! Now, how do I take it down?" Bri wondered. "Attacking head on and spin-stealing won't work...hmmmm....I got it!!" "Attack from above, L-Drago!" She yelled.
L-Drago then hopped and landed an atack on Byxis, which made it start wobbling.
"Ah! Dodge them, Byxis!" Xaviere yelled, but no matter what, L-Drago kept landing the aerial attacks.
"Now, L-Drago, Special Move! Rushing Dragon Blaze!!!" Bri shouted, and a fiery red aura formed around L-Drago. It charged with mighty force, and Byxis was simply flung out of the stadium.
The crowd cheered and clapped for Bri. "That was quite the show!!" DJ said. "Bri wins the Second Round, but who win's the final? Let's find out!! Miles and Franco, to the center!!!"
Miles and Franco walked to the center. Miles attached Pegasis, and Franco attached Perseus.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Pegasis struck Perseus right on, but unlike he was used to, Perseus did not slide back from Recoil...
"Huh?" he thought. "If that's what happens on a strike like that, who knows what'll happen in battle..."
"Keep attacking, Orojya!" Cloud commanded...
"Block em all, Cancer!" Benito said.
Eventually, Cloud got tired and attacked. "Orojya Spear!" He yelled, and Orojya flew up and struck right on the side of Cancer, but instead of a KO, Cancer started wobbling, hitting the underside of the 90-track beyblade. The hits started slowing Orojya down quick.

Pegasis struck Perseus right on, but unlike he was used to, Perseus did not slide back from Recoil...
"Huh?" he thought. "If that's what happens on a strike like that, who knows what'll happen in battle..."
Spoiler (Click to View)
Pegasis and Perseus kept Clashing, neither of them giving up.
"Keep going Pegasis!" Miles commanded.
"Push him away, Perseus!" Franco said.
Pegasus and Perseus never backed off from each other for even a second.
"Pegasis and Perseus are wearing each other down with powerful force!" DJ announced. "I wonder who's gonna make the next move!"
Observing it, Miles noticed at, unlike most attack types he saw, Perseus was lasting much longer...
"How is Perseus spinning that strong when it's an attack type?" Miles said, surprised.
"Easy..." Franco replied. "Metal Flat is one of the most Stamina-filled flat tips, so I can last forever! Now, destabilize him, Perseus!"
Perseus charged at Pegasis and, due to how un-smooth Perseus is, started landing irregular. destabilizing attacks on Pegasis.
Once Pegasis was wobbling, Franco went for the opporitunity. "Special Move, Peresus! Soldier's Training!!!"
A giant soldier emerged from the facebolt, and began firing his weapon at Pegasis. Astonished, Franco watched as Pegasis barely dodged all six of the shots. "H-How did you dodge all of those?" he asked.
Miles stayed silent, and smirked. "Skill..." Miles finally said. He rose his hand. "Pegasis, Special Move, Wing Starbreaker!!!"
Pegasis flew up and landed on the side of Perseus. Perseus tripped uncontrollably and eventually came to a stop.
The crowd clapped as Miles picked up his bey and hugged Franco. "Thank you for saving me..." Miles whispered, then they let go and walked to their teams. "Our winning team, 3-0, is the USA!!!"
The crowd cheered as the US team waved and together, the two teams walked out.
At the airport, the team were saying goodbye. "Well, great job today!" Franco said. "We need to catch our flight to England..."
"Yeah, we got to get on our flight to Africa..." Miles replied. "See you guys later!"
The two teams then walked away. The four friends boarded their flight and took off.
On their flight, Miles and Bri were the only ones awake.
"Hey Miles..." Bri started.
"Yeah, Bri?" Miles asked...
"I was wondering something...about our relationship..."
"What would that be?"
"I...have no idea how people at school are gonna take us, because we're both unpopular and, to be honest...my friends hate you..."
"That's...actually what I was going to say to you about my friends..."
"Wow. Looking at that, I'm...not sure if we should keep going together..."
"No, Bri, please... I love you, and nobody else should judge that. Yeah, maybe next school year, they'll all hate us, but hey, we love each other, and that shouldn't get in the way..."
"You're really sure about that?"
"I know it. Bri, how many boyfriends have you had?"
"Zero...?"
"And how many girlfriends have I had?"
"None?"
"Exactly. We shouldn't just let a few mean kids get in the way of our relationship. We are each other's first love. We should at least give it a better shot than this..."
"You know what...you're right. I'm looking forward too quickly. It's affecting my self-esteem..."
"Yeah, it was affecting mine too for a little bit..."
"I can't believe that thought even came into my mind. I feel so ashamed of myself..." She covered her face with her hands...
He moved them and gave her a hug. "Don't feel bad. I have that happen all the time. Let's just...try to stop being so worried about what might happen until it happens..."
"Agreed..."
"Now, we better get some rest. This African watch we have is a night match..."
"Oh boy, you're right!"
He gave her a kiss on the lips. "Sweet dreams, Bri..."
"You too, Miles..."
The two fell asleep, hand in hand...
"Keep going Pegasis!" Miles commanded.
"Push him away, Perseus!" Franco said.
Pegasus and Perseus never backed off from each other for even a second.

Miles was awaken by the rumbling of the plane landing on the airstrip. Bri was awake next to him, staring out the window.
"W...Where are we...?" Miles asked, stretching...
"We just landed in Accra, a city in Ghana..." she replied. "You woke up just in time!!"
The four got off the plane and walked down the terminal. They spotted the African team in no time.
"Welcome, US team! I am the African Captain, Kofi Shannon! And this is my bey, Counter Scorpio AD145D! This is Yaw Jey, and he uses Inferno Leone ED145WD. That's Kwabena Oshaw. He uses Thunder Aquario DF145BS. Lastly, that's our sub, my younger brother, Kwesi Shannon, and he uses Hyper Gemios D125B!"
"Nice to meet you!" Miles said. "I'm Miles Serge, and this is my Pegasis! That's Devin Collins and his Corona, Cloud Starcutter and is Orojya, and our sub, Bri Crawford and her L-Drago!"
"Very nice to meet you!" Kofi said. "Luckily for us, we got Russia out of the way..."
"How bad was it?" Cloud asked.
Kofi pointed to Kwabena, who lifted his shirt to reveal a giant scar going down his chest to his right side.
"Damn." Devin said. "Now, that's gotta hurt..."
"It did..." Kwabena replied. "Luckily, that was the only thing to happen to any of us, but yeah, that Diablo bey really hurt!"
"Now, we heard that you guys would get in late..." Kofi said. "So we reserved the match for the morning, for you guys to rest."
"Thanks!" Bri replied. "Guess we'll head there now!!!"
"Oh wait!" Kofi said quickly. "Miles, mind if I ask you something?"
"Oh, sure! You guys go ahead. I'll catch up..." Miles said.
"Okay. Race ya!" Cloud said to the other two, and they ran off for the hotel.
"Mind if we see how your Pegasis Performs? We heard about it on TV when you won the tournament, and we'd like to see it if you'd let us..."
"Okay then!" Miles replied, pulling out Pegasis. He then attached it to his launcher and let it spin.
"It's pretty stable, isn't it?" Kwesi said, intrigued.
"Yep, and it's very useful! So much defense. Come back, Pegasis!" Miles yelled, catching it in his hand.
"Thanks for showing us, Miles..." Kofi said. "You better get running. It's late, and you need the rest..."
"Yeah. Night, guys!" Miles said, and he walked off and down the street.
Then, he was caught off guard when he got pulled into the shadows of an alleyway.
It was R-Dev again, this time, not carrying his knife. He pinned Miles by his neck, and punched a few times.
Miles coughed. "R-Dev, why do you keep doing this to me?! It's just not fair! I'm not gonna give up, no matter how many times you threaten me!"
"Well then..." R-Dev said, dropping Miles, then pulling out his concealed Pistol. "Guess that means I can just finish it then..." He cocked the gun and aimed it right at Miles' forehead. Miles closed his eyes, expecting the shot.
However, he opened his eyes when R-Dev was kicked in the head from behind. R-Dev stumbled into the wall and turned to see who kicked him.
It was Cloud.
"Nobody hurts my friend!!!" Cloud yelled.
R-Dev growled and focused his aim on Cloud. Cloud dodged both shots and charged at R-Dev. He landed two punches to R-Dev's head before being pushed off. R-Dev aimed his gun again. Cloud dodged the third shot and, in a blur, picked up Miles and moved him to safety. R-Dev tried one more time to fire off a hit. This fourth shot landed. Cloud screamed in pain, but kept fighting. He slapped the gun out of R-Dev's hand and landed one final knockout blow to the jaw. R-Dev landed on the concrete, and with the rest of his energy, disappeared.
Miles got up and ran to Cloud, who had fell to his knees.
"Cloud, are you alright?" Miles asked.
"Ow...it...it hurts, Miles..." Cloud said, holding his side.
Miles called for help and an ambulance arrived in no time. Miles helped load Cloud in the ambulance and they rode to to the hospital.
"W...Where are we...?" Miles asked, stretching...
"We just landed in Accra, a city in Ghana..." she replied. "You woke up just in time!!"

"Nobody hurts my friend!!!" Cloud yelled.
R-Dev growled and focused his aim on Cloud. Cloud dodged both shots and charged at R-Dev. He landed two punches to R-Dev's head before being pushed off. R-Dev aimed his gun again. Cloud dodged the third shot and, in a blur, picked up Miles and moved him to safety. R-Dev tried one more time to fire off a hit. This fourth shot landed. Cloud screamed in pain, but kept fighting. He slapped the gun out of R-Dev's hand and landed one final knockout blow to the jaw. R-Dev landed on the concrete, and with the rest of his energy, disappeared.
Miles got up and ran to Cloud, who had fell to his knees.
"Cloud, are you alright?" Miles asked.
"Ow...it...it hurts, Miles..." Cloud said, holding his side.
Miles called for help and an ambulance arrived in no time. Miles helped load Cloud in the ambulance and they rode to to the hospital.

Miles and Cloud arrived at the hospital 5 minutes later. Miles hopped out and carried Cloud out of the bed and helped him inside, along with another one of the doctors.
Once inside, they carried Cloud to an open bad and laid him down. They first had to search for the bullet before they could patch it up. Miles willing decided to do so. He painstakingly felt around on Cloud's side, feeling for the bullet. Cloud screamed in pain.
"Come on, Cloud, just a bit longer. Hang on..." Miles said.
After a few more attempts, Miles pulled out the bullet from the wound. But before he threw it away, he observed the surprisingly clean copper casing as Cloud was patched up on his side. He looked at it for a while, then he put it in his pocket. Then he turned to Cloud.
"So, you gonna be okay, Cloud?" Miles asked.
"Yeah. It aches a bit, but hey, I'm tougher than that. It'll be fine..." Cloud replied. "I texted the others and told them what happened. I told them we were ok and that we'll just stay here and meet them at the coliseum..."
"Sounds good..." Miles replied. "Cloud..."
"Yeah, Miles?"
"What did we ever do to deserve going through all of this? The flashbacks, the betrayal, all of these attacks, seriously, what did we do?"
Cloud sat there thinking. "I don't think it was us..." He said grimmly. "I think it was everyone else..."
The doctors pulled in another extra bed for Miles, and the two fell asleep.
The next morning, Miles woke up to find Cloud missing, and a text on his phone. He answered it. It was Cloud, saying he was at the coliseum. Miles got up and ran towards the coliseum. When he got there, he found his team, as well as the African team. The two teams walked out to a crowd filled with the red and white of both countries, along with hints of blue for the US. The DJ walked out to his podium.
"I welcome everyone who came here to Accra for this beyblade match between our proud African team, and their opponents, our very loved allies, the USA!!! Why don't we get this underway, shall we?"
The crowd cheered in agreement to that.
"Alright, then! Captain's who will sit out?"
"I sit out for Africa..." Yaw Jey said, backing up.
"And I will for the USA..." Devin replied, backing up as well...
"I see, and who will battle first?" DJ asked.
"I will first!" Kwesi said, jumping up and down.
"I'll take him on!" Bri said in reply.
"Fantastic! So Bri VS Kwesi will be our first match!!"
Both approached the stadium. Bri pulled out L-Drago and attached it to her launcher, and Kwesi pulled out his Hyper Gemios D125B and attached it as well...
"Ready now?" DJ asked. "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
L-Drago and Gemios landed directly into the stadium, clashing. The sunrise's light shined on the two beys, illuminating the Gemios wheel and brightening the white on the L-Drago Wheel. It was now a beautiful sight to see the two beys clash into each other, glistening in the light.
"Keep going, L-Drago!" Bri commanded.
"Hold on, Gemios!!" Kwesi said, jumping up and down.
After several clashes, Kwesi got tired.
"Boring... Come on, Gemios, Special Move! Hyper Double Twist!!"
Two twisting vortexes emerged from Gemios and immediately charged for L-Drago.
Come on, L-Drago! Dodge!" Bri commanded.
With plenty of time left, L-Drago dodged, and Gemios' attack landed right into the ground.
"What, no fair!" Kwesi said, pouting.
"Too bad, buddy! This is how this works! Special Move, Dragon Fire Rampage!!!" Bri yelled.
L-Drago turned orange and flew up into the air. Gemios just stood as it got struck head on, and flung out of the stadium.
The crowd applauded for Bri. "And Bri Crawford wins the first round for the US!!" DJ announces.
"Aw, no fair, you moved your attack!" Kwesi whined.
"I think that's what you're supposed to do, Kwesi..." she replied.
"Really? I never do that!!" he said back... "Darn! I'm so stupid!"
As Kofi pulled his younger brother off the arena and Bri walked back to her side, DJ announced the 2nd round.
"Cloud and Kwabena, to the stadium!!!" he said.
Cloud walked up, his Orojya already attached. Kwabena approached from the other side, his Thunder Aquario also attached.
3! 2! 1! LET IT RIP!!!
Once Orojya and Aquario hit the stadium, Aquario gained a giant silver circle around it.
"Woah! What's that??" Cloud asked.
"A barrier!" Kwabena replied.
"Oh great..." Cloud thought.
Once inside, they carried Cloud to an open bad and laid him down. They first had to search for the bullet before they could patch it up. Miles willing decided to do so. He painstakingly felt around on Cloud's side, feeling for the bullet. Cloud screamed in pain.

Once Orojya and Aquario hit the stadium, Aquario gained a giant silver circle around it.
"Woah! What's that??" Cloud asked.
"A barrier!" Kwabena replied.
"Oh great..." Cloud thought.
Spoiler (Click to View)
Cloud's Orojya circled Kwabena's Thunder Aquario, surrounded by a barrier.
Orojya suddenly charged into a surge of attacks, none of them even shaking the barrier. Orojya bounced off and landed back down.
"That's just crazy!" Cloud said. "How am I supposed to get around that?!"
"That's the point!" Kwabena replied, "You're NOT supposed to!"
"Dammit..." Cloud thought. "That thing's unbreakable, and i know for sure my Orojya Spear isn't strong enough... Maybe if I sit still..."
"Now, Aquario, Special Move! Thunderous Wave!!!" Kwabena commanded.
Aquario flew into the air as a thunderbolt of water charged at Orojya...
"Wait for it..." Cloud thought.
...
"Wait for it....."
...
"NOW!!!"
Orojya slid out of the way as Aquario struck head-on into the stadium. Then, CLoud heard a crack. He saw the barrier. It was split on top. "That's it!" Cloud said. "Break the shield, Orojya!!"
Orojya jumped and attacked the wobbling Aquario's shield, and after about ten hits, it finally shattered.
"Now Orojya, Special Move! River Of Snakes!"
An aura of snakes rose from Orojya, and they tackled into Aquario, sending Aquario out of the stadium...
The crowd rose to their feet and gave Cloud a standing ovation. Cloud bowed as he picked up Orojya and walked back.
"As Cloud wins round two, we move onto our last match between Miles and Kofi!!!" DJ announced.
They walked to the stadium. Miles attached Pegasis, and Kofi attached his Counter Scorpio.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Pegasis and Scorpio clashed into the arena, and immediately Kofi sent out his special move.
"Counter Stinger!" he yelled, and the attack destabilized Pegasis.
"Great. Now, time to charge..." Kofi said to himself.
As a white aura stated charging up in Scorpio, Miles watched Pegasis as he wobbled.
"What can I do?!" he thought. "I ain't attack, and if I don't do anything, I'm done for!"
He then witnessed as Pegasis, started getting more aggressive in its motion. It started circling the stadium, still wobbly, and it started getting faster. After several revolutons around the stadium, Pegasis had more spin!
"What was that?" Kofi asked, astounded.
"I don't know..." Miles replied. "But I do know one thing! I'm back in this match!"
The crowd cheered and rose to their feet as Pegasis charged and attacked Scorpio, killing its charge. Left, Right, Under, Over, inside-out, every single way you could imagine, Pegasis hit Scorpio.
"Ready, Pegasis? Here we go! Special Move, Omega Star Nova!!" Miles yelled, and within seconds, Pegasis struck right on Scorpio, and in an instant, the match had turned around and was over.
The crowd surged into a frenzy in an array of cheers and clapping.
"That was intense!" DJ said. "It's over! 3-0, USA wins!!! Wish them luck as they go back to the USA to face North Korea in their first home match!!!"
The two teams left the coliseum and headed back to the airport.
"Well, good luck to you guys back home. Hope you win!" Kofi said.
"Same with you and England!" Miles said. "Show em what you got!"
The two teams departed, and the four friends got on their flight back home to Princeton, North Carolina.
"Man, I can't wait to get back home!" Devin said.
"Me too..." Miles said. "Honestly...I...I really missed it..." He started tearing up.
"Awwwwww...." Bri said, hugging him. "We'll be home soon..."
The four laid back and relaxed, because within hours they would arrive home for their match against North Korea...
Orojya suddenly charged into a surge of attacks, none of them even shaking the barrier. Orojya bounced off and landed back down.
"That's just crazy!" Cloud said. "How am I supposed to get around that?!"
"That's the point!" Kwabena replied, "You're NOT supposed to!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen. We will be landing in Princeton, North Carolina soon!"
Miles jolted up to those words. He couldn't wait to get back home.
"Well, Miles, looks like that's all you need to hear on a flight to be alert..." Devin said.
"Sure is!" Miles replied. "I miss home..."
"Well, it's a good thing we're almost there!" Cloud said. "I can't wait!"
Then, Bri gets a text...
"It's from the WBBA Committee..." Bri said.
"What could they be wanting to tell us?" Miles asked.
Bri read the reply. "It appears that due to the long time it is taking, along with many other issues, many of the low-ranked teams, such as India, Italy, The Middle East, and Samoa, including many others, have dropped out of the championship, and we got word from your North Korean opponents that they are dropping out too!"
"Aw man. Well, that's a shame..." Cloud said.
"That's not all it says..." Bri replied. She continued reading. "Including your team, there are now 16 teams remaining. When you land, please arrive to the coliseum, as we will be holding a single-elimination tournament to declare the winner!!! Best of Luck to you! -WBBA Committee"
"Wow. Guess they had to change plans..." Devin said. "It's unfortunate we couldn't meet all of the teams..."
"Well, looking at the roster, we got some tough opponents in this tournament!" Bri said, looking at the roster. "Of course Russia, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, England, the whole works!!"
"Well, it looks like we can finally face a tougher team!" Cloud said. "So ready!!!"
The plane landed. Miles was first to step off. He took in a deep breath of the gentle summer breeze blowing by.
"Ahhhhh...home sweet home..." He said.
Outside, the limo was waiting, and the four entered it. The limo then arrived at the coliseum. The four friends walked in.
"Welcome, guys!!!" DJ said. "The other teams are inside, meeting each other. Russia's the only one being quiet, so I wouldn't bother them, and you guys should check it out! There's a West Coast US team!!!"
Miles and Cloud both froze. They thought in their mind of that villain stabbing the poor US member to death. However, they stayed calm and simply replied, "Cool! We'll check them out!"
They walked in to see Flags. Two USA, one with an E and one with a W, England, Russia, Mexico, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Canada, Antarctica, Jamaica, Austria, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, and Ireland.
"Wow!!!" Miles said. "Look at these teams!!!"
They walked around, meeting the teams. Most of them friendly. Others, not so much... There was not a crowd, but plenty of cameras. They knew that even though they didn't have the noise, they had everyone watching...
However, Miles couldn't help but peek out of the corner of his eye to see R-Dev and the shadowy figure of the Diablo Blader staring with deathly glares. He gulped as the bracket popped up on screen:
1. RUSSIA
16: SCANDINAVIA
8. IRELAND
9. GERMANY
4. CARIBBEAN
13. GREENLAND
5. JAPAN
12. NEW ZEALAND
3. ANTARCTICA
14. FRANCE

11. CANADA
2. EC USA
15. ENGLAND
7. WC USA
10. MEXICO
"Oooh! We get England first round!!!" Devin said in excitement.
"Let us get the matches underway!!" DJ announced, and the teams met each other at their respective stadiums.
They met up with the England team, who was very polite. All of them wore white clothing all over, except for the captain. He was wearing a purple shirt, black and purple shorts, and black shoes with purple highlights... he also had short black hair...
"So, we didn't get the chance to introduce ourselves..." the captain said. "Our sub-member right there is Gary Schilling. He uses Evil Orso 130RSF. That is Casey Hewitt. He uses Evil Sagittario 130RDF. That's Darren Cullipher, and he uses Evil Leone 130MB...."
"And what is your name?" Miles asked...
"Dan. Dan Wheldon..." He slowly dropped his head.
"Oh, I see. I'm sorry..." Miles said patting his back. "Anyways, what's your bey?"
Dan rose his head and showed it. "Evil Shade 130RS..." He said...
"So basically a bunch of evil 130's?" Cloud said.
"Yep!" Dan replied. "We sometimes call ourselves that!"
DJ walked up to the two teams. "By the way guys, the format is your choice. Debate it out and do it, otherwise I choose it for you..."
"Ok then. How about a free-for-all, Dan?" Miles asked.
He thought for a moment, then grinned. "Sounds good to me!!"
All eight readied their beys for launch.
"You ready?" Miles asked.
"When you are!" Dan replied.
In unison they all shouted. "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!"
Miles jolted up to those words. He couldn't wait to get back home.
"Well, Miles, looks like that's all you need to hear on a flight to be alert..." Devin said.

Spoiler (Click to View)
All eight of the beys entered the Arena, charging for one another.
"Go Corona!" yelled Devin as he clashed into Gary's Orso.
"Come on Leone!" Darren shouted as he attacked Bri's L-Drago.
All of the clashing was going on, and nobody was budging.
Then, Gary started pushing Cloud's Orojya to the edge... "Come on, Orojya, we aren't going down alone! Special Move, Unforgiving Bind!!!"
The snakes emerged and pulled Gary's Orso along with it, KO-ing both of them. It was now 3 on 3.
"Corona, Rainbow Gemstone!!" Devin commanded.
"L-Drago, Dragon Fire Tornade!!!" Bri also commanded.
The two Special Moves KO'd Darren's Leone and Casey's Sagittario.
"3 on 1, Dan..." Miles said. "Whatcha gonna do now?"
"This..." Dan said smirking. "Shade, Special Move, Supersonic Dusk!!!"
A purple Aura rose from Shade and it released a purple supersonic wave. The shot knocked out Corona and L-Drago, and Pegasis barely avoided the KO.
"Hm..." Dan said. "1 on 1 now..."
Shade immediately charged at Pegasis and both clashed with full effort. Shade pushed Pegasis to the edge.
"This is Over!" Dan said. "Supersonic Dusk!!!"
But before the attack went off, Pegasis slid behind Shade, and as the attack went off, Pegasis struck Shade, and the supersonic changed direction, and KO'd Shade.
Miles rose his hand with one finger to say to the DJ that his team won 1-0. He picked up Shade and walked over to Dan, putting it into his hand.
"Good match..." Miles said, holding out his hand. Dan shook his hand. "You too, and good luck. I know how much you need it..."
Miles looked at the Russian team, who had already finished. "No...I don't think you do..."
The two teams walked away.
"Wow guys..." Bri said. "I had no idea how many people we know are competing!"
"What do you mean?" Miles asked.
"From the last tournament!" she replied. "CD's for France, Shad's For Mexico, Gerrard-Asela is for Ireland. I mean it's crazy!"
The four then looked at the Bracket:
1. RUSSIA
8. IRELAND
4. CARIBBEAN
5. JAPAN
3. ANTARCTICA
6. SOUTH KOREA
2. EC USA
7. WC USA
"So we face the other US team!!!" Devin said. They then walked to the other US team and met them.
"Hey, You won the World Championships last year!!" Miles said.
"Yep, and we've seen you guys do really well, and saw you win the last tournament!!!" one boy said. "I'm the captain, Shawn Faircloth, and this is my bey, Duo Eagle SW145WD!"
"I'm Alfred Jones, and this is my Phantom Byxis GB145R2F!"
"I'm Karan Brar, and my bey, Meteo L-Drago LW105LF!"
"And I'm Matthew Jones, the sub!! I use Burn Phoenix 135MS!"
"Nice to meet you all!!!" Miles replied. "I'm the captain. Miles Serge is my name, and this is my bey, Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS!!!"
"I'm Devin Collins, and I use Burn Corona 230D!!!"
"I'm Cloud Starcutter, and I use Shinobi Orojya 90WD!!"
"And I'm the sub, Bri Crawford! I use Metal Face Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD!!!"
"Cool!" Shawn said. "Why don't we start battling? Free for all again?"
"Sure! Let's do it!!!" Miles replied. Cloud started tugging on Miles' sleeve. "But wait one sec. Cloud needs to ask me something "Private..."
Miles pulled Cloud away and they whispered to each other...
"That's him, Miles..."
"Who's him?"
"Him, right there..."
"Him?"
"Yeah, him!"
"So, he is..."
"The one I saw getting stabbed to death? Yes..."
"No. It can't be him, Cloud! Surely it can't!!"
"But it is, Miles! I know it!"
"No...If...If that's the case, I...I don't know what I would do..."
"Go Corona!" yelled Devin as he clashed into Gary's Orso.
"Come on Leone!" Darren shouted as he attacked Bri's L-Drago.
All of the clashing was going on, and nobody was budging.
Then, Gary started pushing Cloud's Orojya to the edge... "Come on, Orojya, we aren't going down alone! Special Move, Unforgiving Bind!!!"
The snakes emerged and pulled Gary's Orso along with it, KO-ing both of them. It was now 3 on 3.
"Corona, Rainbow Gemstone!!" Devin commanded.
"L-Drago, Dragon Fire Tornade!!!" Bri also commanded.
The two Special Moves KO'd Darren's Leone and Casey's Sagittario.
"3 on 1, Dan..." Miles said. "Whatcha gonna do now?"
"This..." Dan said smirking. "Shade, Special Move, Supersonic Dusk!!!"
A purple Aura rose from Shade and it released a purple supersonic wave. The shot knocked out Corona and L-Drago, and Pegasis barely avoided the KO.
"Hm..." Dan said. "1 on 1 now..."
Shade immediately charged at Pegasis and both clashed with full effort. Shade pushed Pegasis to the edge.
"This is Over!" Dan said. "Supersonic Dusk!!!"
But before the attack went off, Pegasis slid behind Shade, and as the attack went off, Pegasis struck Shade, and the supersonic changed direction, and KO'd Shade.
Miles rose his hand with one finger to say to the DJ that his team won 1-0. He picked up Shade and walked over to Dan, putting it into his hand.
"Good match..." Miles said, holding out his hand. Dan shook his hand. "You too, and good luck. I know how much you need it..."
Miles looked at the Russian team, who had already finished. "No...I don't think you do..."
The two teams walked away.
"Wow guys..." Bri said. "I had no idea how many people we know are competing!"
"What do you mean?" Miles asked.
"From the last tournament!" she replied. "CD's for France, Shad's For Mexico, Gerrard-Asela is for Ireland. I mean it's crazy!"
The four then looked at the Bracket:
1. RUSSIA
8. IRELAND
4. CARIBBEAN
5. JAPAN
3. ANTARCTICA
6. SOUTH KOREA
2. EC USA
7. WC USA
"So we face the other US team!!!" Devin said. They then walked to the other US team and met them.
"Hey, You won the World Championships last year!!" Miles said.
"Yep, and we've seen you guys do really well, and saw you win the last tournament!!!" one boy said. "I'm the captain, Shawn Faircloth, and this is my bey, Duo Eagle SW145WD!"
"I'm Alfred Jones, and this is my Phantom Byxis GB145R2F!"
"I'm Karan Brar, and my bey, Meteo L-Drago LW105LF!"
"And I'm Matthew Jones, the sub!! I use Burn Phoenix 135MS!"
"Nice to meet you all!!!" Miles replied. "I'm the captain. Miles Serge is my name, and this is my bey, Metal Face-Heavy Wing Pegasis BD145CS!!!"
"I'm Devin Collins, and I use Burn Corona 230D!!!"
"I'm Cloud Starcutter, and I use Shinobi Orojya 90WD!!"
"And I'm the sub, Bri Crawford! I use Metal Face Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD!!!"
"Cool!" Shawn said. "Why don't we start battling? Free for all again?"
"Sure! Let's do it!!!" Miles replied. Cloud started tugging on Miles' sleeve. "But wait one sec. Cloud needs to ask me something "Private..."
Miles pulled Cloud away and they whispered to each other...
"That's him, Miles..."
"Who's him?"
"Him, right there..."
"Him?"
"Yeah, him!"
"So, he is..."
"The one I saw getting stabbed to death? Yes..."
"No. It can't be him, Cloud! Surely it can't!!"
"But it is, Miles! I know it!"
"No...If...If that's the case, I...I don't know what I would do..."

Miles and Cloud walked back to the group after their discussion.
"Everything alright, guys?" Shawn asked.
"Uh, yeah, or course!!!" Miles replied.
The eight got their beys ready.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
All eight landed in the arena, each person going after another...
Orojya went after Phoenix,
L-Drago went after L-Drago,
Corona went after Byxis,
and Pegasis went after Eagle!
All eight beys were colliding nonstop with each other.
"Go Pegasis, Wing Starbreaker!!!!!" Miles shouts.
"The attack lands a direct hit to Eagle, but it doesn't budge an inch.
"Nice try..." Shawn replies. "Now it's my turn! Eagle, Twin Turbo Smash!!!"
Eagle flies up and also lands a direct hit on Pegasis, but it doesn't move either!! Then, the rest of the two teams got involved.
"Corona, Rainbow Gemstone!!!"
"Orojya, Orojya Spear!!!"
"L-Drago, Dragon Fire Rampage!!!!"
The three special moves charge together towards Eagle.
"Byxis, Ultimate Destiny Destroyer!!!!"
"L-Drago, Ultimate Roaring Dragon Blast!!!"
"Phoenix, Burning Firestrike!!!"
All three of those special moves charge at Pegasis. All Land, but still, not a bit of weakness from either of the two beys. Miles and Shawn look at each other, then look to the sky. They have the same idea. Both beys jump into the air.
"EAGLE, MEGA TORNADO BLASTER!!!"
"PEGASIS, OMEGA STAR NOVA!!!"
Both beys collide in an explosion of epic proportions. The smoke and the explosion knocks all eight of the bladers off their feet. When they get up, a giant smoke cloud is in the stadium. Pegasis is on the ground beside Miles. Eagle is by Shawn's feet. Orojya and L-Drago had been slung to the bench beside them, and Phoenix and the other L-Drago were dropped from the sky...
"Wait..." Miles said. "One...two...three... Pegasis...Orojya...L-Drago... Where's Corona???"
"Same with me!" Shawn says. "Where's Byxis???"
The smoke cloud clears, and both beys are wobbling, out of energy. It would come down to which bey had more good spirit left in them.
Then, one of the beys trip and fall...
It was Byxis...
Devin falls to his knees in astonishment. "YEAH!!!" He yells to the sky, raising his fists in victory. His friends surrounded him and gave him a big group hug.
Devin then hopped up and walked over to Alfred. He held out his hand. "That was a hell of a match!!" Devin said. "Good job!"
Alfred smiled and took his hand.
"Good luck, guys..." Shawn replied. "We've been in the situation you're in before. I know you guys can do the same thing we did... We'll be in the stands, watching and cheering for you.
Then the bracket popped up on screen:
SEMIFINALS
1: RUSSIA VS 5: JAPAN
3: ANTARCTICA VS 2: EC USA
"Cool! Antarctica!!!" Bri said, and they walked over to their stadium.
"No need to introduce yourselves, guys! We know who you are!" the captain said. "I'm Kei Hollins, and my bey, MF Quetzalcoatl 90WF! That's Jeremy Yang, and he uses Meteo L-Drago DF105LRF! That's Richard Dyson, and he uses Wing Pegasis S130RB! Lastly, that's our sub, Richard's brother, Derek! He uses Jade Jupiter S130RB!"
"Cool!!" Miles said happily.
"Why don't we get another free-for all started?" Jeremy asked.
"Sure!!" Cloud replied, and all eight readied their beys.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
"Everything alright, guys?" Shawn asked.
"Uh, yeah, or course!!!" Miles replied.
The eight got their beys ready.

"No need to introduce yourselves, guys! We know who you are!" the captain said. "I'm Kei Hollins, and my bey, MF Quetzalcoatl 90WF! That's Jeremy Yang, and he uses Meteo L-Drago DF105LRF! That's Richard Dyson, and he uses Wing Pegasis S130RB! Lastly, that's our sub, Richard's brother, Derek! He uses Jade Jupiter S130RB!"

Spoiler (Click to View)
As the eight beys landed, all started circling in unison, waiting for each other to strike. After several rotations, the unison was broken.
Jupiter burst and charged after Corona. Soon enough, everyone was fighting each other.
"Come on, Quetz!!" Kei commanded. Quetzalcoatl charged right at Pegasis.
"Block it, Pegasis!!!" Miles shouted. Pegasis did block it, but was sent back several feet to the wall.
"What the?" Miles said, intrigued, "How can such a light bey do that much attacking?"
"That's a secret for me to know and for you to find out!" Kei replied.
Cloud was able to get the KO's started quickly after that phrase.
"Orojya Spear!!!" he shouted, and Orojya clashed right onto Richard's Pegasis, KO-ing it instantly.
Devin followed up in the action by dodging Jupiter's charge at the edge, causing Jupiter to self-KO.
Jeremy wouldn't let it go unanswered as he released his Special Move.
"Giga Drained Power!!!" he yelled, and the attack landed directly on Orojya and Corona, KO-ing them both.
It was now 2 VS 2, Pegasis and L-Drago, against Quetzalcoatl and L-Drago Absorb.
"Go Pegasis!!!" Miles commanded, and Pegasis charged at Quetz.
However, at the last second, he changed direction, and tackled right into L-Drago Absorb!
"Huh?" Kei said, confused.
"Go, Bri! Take him down!!!" Miles yelled.
"Okay then!!" she replied. "Special Move, L-Drago! Burning Fire Rampage!!!"
Kei had no time to prepare for the attack as he got smashed right on the facebolt, sending it flying.
"Yes!" Bri shouted in victory.
"It's not over yet, though..." Jeremy rang in.
She turned to see Pegasis has stopped spinning, and L-Drago Absorb was still spinning.
"Hmph!" she blurted out. "Let's go!"
"L-Drago, Giga Drained Power!!!" Jeremy commanded, and It charged straight for L-Drago.
"Flip!" Bri said, and with perfect timing, L-Drago flipped and changed the direction of L-Drago Absorb, sending it to a self-KO.
Bri jumped up and down in excitement. She hugged Miles...
"Great job, baby..." Miles said softly to her. "You did amazing..."
"Thank you..." she replied.
Jeremy picked up his bey and nodded. They then exited.
All four of the friends regained their seriousness and looked at the screen to see that it indeed was official:
FINALS!!!
1: RUSSIA VS 2: EC USA
"It's time, guys..." Miles said. "We need to prepare..."
The DJ gave both teams were each given eight hours to think, train, of do anything else before the finals.
As soon as they walked out the door, Miles received a call. It was from Dan Wheldon, the British Captain.
"Hello?" Miles answered.
"Miles, you and your team need to come to the hospital, NOW!!!" Several of the teams' captains have been injured, and me and the doctors need your guys' help!!!"
"Oh my god!! We're on the way there!!!" Miles hung up and the four ran for the hospital.
Once they arrived, they saw twelve different beds, all carrying a team captain and a ripped flag.
Bri and Devin ran to take care of some of the more severe cases.
"Miles, thank god you're here!!" Dan said, running to them. He was unharmed, except a small bandage on his face...
"Dan!" Miles replied. "What happened?!?!"
"Ambush..." he replied. "The other twelve captains told me they were all individually ambushed by a Russian member..."
"Was it R-Dev? The captain?" Miles urged.
"No, he was nowhere to be found after he won over Japan. It was that Diablo beyblade. I know that blader's name..."
"What is it? What is his name??" Miles asked.
"Ivan Braginski. I fought him last year for Britain the year before the US team won. He was vicious. He was defeated last year by the other US team, and he made the team again, and boy, is he pissed!!! He even ambushed me! I was able to fight him off and escape, but these captains weren't so lucky..."
He was interrupted when Kei Hollins, the Antarctic captain they had face just minutes ago, came in on a stretcher with a giant gash on his left leg as the thirteenth patient.
"There's another one!" Dan said, rolling Kei into place.
Cloud then realized. He looked at each blader, each revealing the story of what happened through a flashback.
He looked at Dark Devin, the German captain. Dark was trying to explain to Ivan about their friendship, but Ivan fired his bey and took him out with a hit to the head.
He then looked at Argo Manuel, the Caribbean captain. Argo was trying to beg his way out, but Ivan had no mercy as he turned the fight physical by punching and kicking Argo on the ground.
It was an even more shocking story when he looked at the rivals from last tournament.
CD Collins, representing France, was backing away from R-Dev, asking what had happened to him and their alliance. R-Dev slugged him across the face and stomped his chest. He walked away, leaving him...
Then Gerrard-Asela Walton, for Ireland, going insane when R-Dev punched him. He fought back, but was outsmarted and thrown into a concrete wall, injuring his arm.
He then looked at Dan, seeing he was approached by both R-Dev and Ivan. The three launched their beys. He saw Dan get the nick on his face and run away.
The thoughts were running through Cloud's mind as he heard laughing and screams of terror.
"Uh, Cloud...?" Dan said, waving his hand in front of Cloud's blank stare.
"Cloud?" Miles asked, poking him.
Cloud stumbled. His eyes rolled back, and he face-planted on the hard tile floor, as the fourteenth patient...
Jupiter burst and charged after Corona. Soon enough, everyone was fighting each other.
"Come on, Quetz!!" Kei commanded. Quetzalcoatl charged right at Pegasis.
"Block it, Pegasis!!!" Miles shouted. Pegasis did block it, but was sent back several feet to the wall.

I felt myself hit the floor. I could then feel my senses slipping away from my body. I couldn't tell if I was dying or not. I then entered A black "area" inside my mind. I was walking through it.
"How did I get here?" I asked myself. The question echoed around the blackness.
Then some purple began to rise from the blackness.
"Hello Cloud..." a voice said.
I recognized that voice from anywhere...
"Ivan!!!" I shouted. "What are you doing in here?"
He snickered. "I thought I'd give you another chance to "remember" the past..."
Thick strands of purple charged at me, planting my feet to what I believe was the floor, and constraining my arms. I looked in front of me as static appeared. I thought it looked like a TV at first, but no, it was...my memories...
"How dare you delve into my mind!?!" I shouted angrily. "These are my thoughts!!!" I tried to put them away, but they wouldn't go...
"Silly Cloud..." Ivan said, still unseen. "I have control of your mind now. If I wanted, I could even take control of your body. But...I'm going to save that for a more "fitting" time."
I then focused on the static as it cleared up. It was of me and Ivan running along the streets of Moscow. I was 7, half of my age now. Ivan was 8, and I couldn't remember how much younger he was than now...
We were playing tag, and he had caught me.
"You're it!" Ivan said, in the memory.
"Heh...heh..." I said. "Gimme a minute to catch my breath..."
"You're such a fun friend, Cloud!" Ivan said.
"You too!" I said. "I promise I'll never betray you!"
As we hugged, the memory faded.
"You and I were great friends, Cloud..." Ivan told me. "Even when we got our first beyblades."
As another memory popped up, I noticed the beys. I had my Shinobi Orojya S130MB at that time, and he had Diablo Pegasis WD145D. We were both 10 at the time. We were battling side by side in every match, and we won several tag team tournaments. The memory faded again.
"You and I were unseperable, until your 11th birthday..." Ivan said, pulling out the last memory.
"But, Cloud!!!" Ivan said in the memory. "What about us being partners, friends?!?!?!"
"I need to move on now." I had replied. "I have better things to do in life..."
"But, you promised me that you would never betray me or leave me!!!"
I had looked at the sky. "Promises are meant to be broken. This is another example..."
I had walked away. Ivan was on the ground crying, while I was on my way, going on a flight to Princeton, North Carolina in the United States of America. As the memory faded, a purple aura surrounded Ivan in the memory, and an evil growl rose as it disappeared.
Ivan then emerged from the darkness in front of me.
"Ivan!!!" I said, now struggling to get free. "Let me go!!! What do you keep asking from me?!?!?"
"I will give you another opportunity right now..." Ivan told me. "Come with me back to Russia, and leave your friends behind to join your best friend from the past..."
"NEVER!!!" I yelled. "I have friends who care about me and want be to stay by their side! I'm with them, and they're with me!! You are evil!!!" I would never go back with you, EVER!!!!"
"Fine then..." Ivan said, slowly reaching into his jacket. "If I can't have you..." He pulled out a pocket knife. "...nobody can..."
"Ivan...no! You wouldn't dare!!!" I shouted squirming to break free
Ivan pulled the knife over his head, ready to stab me.
"Don't do it, Ivan!!!" I shouted desperately. "Please, no! NOOOOOOO!!!!"
As he charged his arm forward, I jolted awake.
I was breathing heavily. I looked around. I was on a hospital bed, but, nobody else was there. None of the injured captains were in their beds, and none of the flags were there.
"H-H-Huh???" I said, confused. "Anybody...here?"
Miles, Devin, Bri, and Dan all emerged from around the corner, and all of them rushed to me in relief.
"G-Guys, is...is that really you??" I said.
"Sure is!!" Miles replied. "We're so glad you're awake!"
"After you hit the ground, me and Miles put you on the stretcher and then attended to the other patients." Dan said. "We got them all taken care of and out before you were able to wake up!"
"How...long was I out?" I asked.
"Only about an hour..." Devin said. "We still got five and a half hours before our finals match..."
"Really? Only that long?" I said, shocked. "It felt like it was longer..."
"C-O-P-Y--"
"Dammit, Devin, I'm gonna kill you!!!" I said, angered.
"Aw, I'm messin...." He replied.
"Anyways...Miles...Can I...talk to you for a sec?" I asked.
"Sure..." he replied. "Guys, if you would..." Dan, Bri, and Devin all exited.
"What is it, Cloud?" Miles asked.
"Ivan.." I started. "I think...he...was in my mind while I was passed out..."
"No way!!!" Miles said, surprised.
"I think he was..." I told him. "He was showing memories of our friendship and me leaving him. He pulled out his knife and was going to stab me. As soon as he almost hit me, I woke up...."
"Oh my god..." he said, covering his mouth...
"I don't know if it was real, or if it was a dream..." I said. "But I do know one thing..."
"Yeah?" Miles asked.
"I'm scared..." I said, hugging myself, shaking a little. Miles hugged me and comforted me, and we just sat there, holding onto each other for protection...
"How did I get here?" I asked myself. The question echoed around the blackness.
Then some purple began to rise from the blackness.
"Hello Cloud..." a voice said.
I recognized that voice from anywhere...
"Ivan!!!" I shouted. "What are you doing in here?"

I was breathing heavily. I looked around. I was on a hospital bed, but, nobody else was there. None of the injured captains were in their beds, and none of the flags were there.
"H-H-Huh???" I said, confused. "Anybody...here?"
Miles, Devin, Bri, and Dan all emerged from around the corner, and all of them rushed to me in relief.
"G-Guys, is...is that really you??" I said.
"Sure is!!" Miles replied. "We're so glad you're awake!"
"After you hit the ground, me and Miles put you on the stretcher and then attended to the other patients." Dan said. "We got them all taken care of and out before you were able to wake up!"
"How...long was I out?" I asked.
"Only about an hour..." Devin said. "We still got five and a half hours before our finals match..."
"Really? Only that long?" I said, shocked. "It felt like it was longer..."
"C-O-P-Y--"
"Dammit, Devin, I'm gonna kill you!!!" I said, angered.
"Aw, I'm messin...." He replied.
"Anyways...Miles...Can I...talk to you for a sec?" I asked.
"Sure..." he replied. "Guys, if you would..." Dan, Bri, and Devin all exited.
"What is it, Cloud?" Miles asked.
"Ivan.." I started. "I think...he...was in my mind while I was passed out..."
"No way!!!" Miles said, surprised.
"I think he was..." I told him. "He was showing memories of our friendship and me leaving him. He pulled out his knife and was going to stab me. As soon as he almost hit me, I woke up...."
"Oh my god..." he said, covering his mouth...
"I don't know if it was real, or if it was a dream..." I said. "But I do know one thing..."
"Yeah?" Miles asked.
"I'm scared..." I said, hugging myself, shaking a little. Miles hugged me and comforted me, and we just sat there, holding onto each other for protection...

Cloud just sat there with Miles for hours, thinking about what was going on. He was unsure of himself after what was supposedly a dream.
Then, Devin came around the corner. "Guys... It's time..."
Cloud, scared but eager, stood up, ready to go. The four friends, along with Dan Wheldon, went to the arena.
The Russian team was waiting. Cloud stared at Ivan's purple aura. He shook a little, but stood firm.
Meanwhile, Miles and R-Dev were also in a stare-down. Miles focused hard towards R-Dev, who was stern with his left eye illuminated in white...
Miles finally spoke. "What will we do...? Free-for-all?"
Ivan, Antoine, and Vladimir all whispered behind R-Dev. R-Dev pondered for a moment, but shook his head.
"Best of three?" Miles then offered.
This one took more thought for R-Dev. Miles watched him. He knew in there, the R-Dev he knew was fighting his evil conscious to help the American team win. After about a minute, R-Dev slowly nodded.
"Okay..." Miles said. "Who's out? We sit out Bri..."
Bri knew what Miles wanted. He wanted to make sure that even if he went down, he did not want the love of his life to go with him. She didn't argue, and stepped back...
R-Dev pondered for a second about his decision. He motioned Ivan forward, who then whispered an answer to him. R-Dev nodded and waved Antoine Lenkun forward, sitting Vladimir Tasseno out.
"Okay, lastly..." Miles said. "Who fights first?"
R-Dev made the decision first, waving Antoine forward. Devin stepped up to the challenge. He attached his Corona, while Antoine attached his monster of a bey, Saramanda Saramanda E230MB.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Corona and Saramanda landed. Saramanda went to the center, while Corona slowly circled. Both teams stayed silent as they anxiously awaited the first move.
A few minutes later, Corona charged. Saramanda didn't budge, but it did knock the disk up for a split second. Devin took note of this as he tried a few more hits. No budging, but the disk rose with every hit.
Devin pondered a strategy. "I have to be quick if I'm going to wanna weaken that giant tank..."
He kept attacking head-on to make sure. All of the attacks moved the disk up, but didn't budge Saramanda.
Devin glanced up at Antoine. He was quiet and had a blank stare.
After his several attempts, Antoine went for his chance. "SARAMANDA< SLICK SOVIET SMASH!!!!!" he commanded.
Saramanda went into the air, and charged up an orange aura.
"GO CORONA, RAINBOW GEMSTONE!!!!!" Devin yelled.
Corona's red aura, with a large trailing rainbow, charged into the fiery Saramanda. Both clashed with maximum power. A giant explosion ensued.
All of the members on both teams ducked, and as the smoke cleared, they stared into the stadium to spot the beys.
Miraculously, both Saramanda and Corona sat in the center of the stadium, stopped completely. They turned to the replay screen, and it was confirmed. The attack stopped both beys completely...
"A tie..." Devin said, out of breath. He picked up Corona and went back to his team.
Miles started talking. "So, who's ne--"
"Me and Ivan..." Cloud rang in, stepping forward, as confident as ever. R-Dev widened his eyes a little in astonishment. He turned to Ivan, who looked desperate to fight him. He turned around and nodded.
Both Ivan and Cloud walked to the arena for the second match. It was USA zero, Russia zero...
Then, Devin came around the corner. "Guys... It's time..."
Cloud, scared but eager, stood up, ready to go. The four friends, along with Dan Wheldon, went to the arena.

Cloud walked up to the stadium, and looked across to Ivan, who wasn't staring back, but was growling angrily. He attached his Diablo Nemesis X : D.
However, Cloud did not pull out the Orojya his friends kept seeing him use. It was no longer 90WD. It was now Shinobi Orojya S130MB, the same combo he had at the last tournament.
His friends, in awe, looked as he attached the bey to his launcher. Ivan growled louder as he did so.
3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!!!
Orojya and Nemesis landed, and immediately Nemesis attacked. Nemesis, despite it's brute weight, wasn't able to budge Orojya like it used to in the past. Orojya stood firm and eventually pushed Nemesis back for a second.
Nemesis once again tried to get a push on Orojya, but was once again pushed back.
"Nemesis. Special Move, Devil's Rage." Ivan said demonically. The attack landed right on the facebolt. Cloud heard a small crack.
"Orojya!!!" he yelled, and as the smoke cloud from the shot rose, he saw Orojya still spinning stable.
"Thank god. Now Orojya, Orojya Spear!!!" Cloud commanded.
A Purple Aura surrounded Orojya as it struck right on Nemesis. A crack similar to the one that Orojya had came from Nemesis' facebolt. The smoke settled, and Nemesis was still spinning.
"Since it appears you won't give up easily, I have to take desperate measures..." Ivan said deeply.
"W...What...do you mean???" Cloud said, scared.
All of a sudden, a giant gate opened, and Orojya was sucked in as Ivan and Nemesis entered. Chains reached out from the door. Cloud tried to run, but was grabbed by his ankle, and eventually wrapped by all of his limbs.
"HELLLLLLLLLP!!!!" Cloud yelled in desperation.
His friends could do nothing as They saw Cloud disappear in the darkness as the door closed and faded. Miles looked across. Antoine and Vladimir were freaking out, wondering what the hell happened. Even R-Dev looked shocked as he wandered around the stadium, seemingly trying to feel a presence.
"DA HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!?!" Devin said, astonished.
"I do not feel a presence of Ivan, Cloud, or of either beys in this stadium." R-Dev said out loud. "They have...disappeared..."
"Where could they have gone?" Miles wondered.
"Wait..." R-Dev said again. "I feel something..."
He kneeled down and put his hand on the ground. "I found them..."
"Where the hell are they?" Devin said.
"You just said it..." R-Dev replied sternly. "Hell..."
Then, a spiritual voice. It was Ivan's...
"You won't know what is going on..." it said. "But let me give you a hint, of what I expect..."
A silhouette of Cloud then appeared standing in the center of the stadium, looking down. It turned to Miles and rose its head. The silhouette of Cloud opened it's eyes. Its color and its pupils were missing. It was only white, and as the silhouette disintegrated, the eyes glowed purple.
Miles covered his mouth as he thought what horrible things could be going on down there...
"Please, Cloud." Miles thought as tears came to his eyes. "Please come through. Don't die on us. We need you..."
However, Cloud did not pull out the Orojya his friends kept seeing him use. It was no longer 90WD. It was now Shinobi Orojya S130MB, the same combo he had at the last tournament.

Cloud woke up in the dark area. He stood up, and he saw his Orojya trapped, spinning in the center of the electric cage.
"W-Where am I?" Cloud said.
"Hello, Cloud..." a voice said. "Welcome to hell..."
Ivan walked out of the shadows.
"Ivan!" Cloud said. "Why you little..."
"It seems that no matter what I do, you won't seem to give up and join my side. I guess force will just have to be the determining factor..."
Meanwhile, back at the surface, R-Dev had found a way to show the scene back at the stadium. He opened it, and all six watched.
Ivan released a purple spirit. It entered into Cloud's mind painfully. He shouted in pain.
"Cloud!!!" Miles shouted.
"He can't hear you..." R-Dev said. "Or even see you..."
Cloud weakened, and as he rose his head, his eyes illuminated purple.
"Perfect." Ivan said evilly.
"No, Cloud..." Miles said, falling to his knees and crying. Bri knelt down to him, while Devin watched and awaited the worst.
Antoine and Vladimir had evil grins on their faces, but R-Dev was emotionless, unsure whether he should be happy or concerned.
Meanwhile, in Cloud's conscious, Cloud woke up.
"Huh?" he said waking up. He looked at his vision. "Now Cloud, Pick up your bey to show your sign of joining my side..."
"Oh no. He possessed me!!" he said.
"And there's no way top escape it..." a voice similar to his responded.
Cloud turned, as a Purple aura of himself stood before him.
"You're the evil spirit!" Cloud said. "Get out of here!!"
"Now why would I do that?" the clone said. "I finally have control of your mind, your body, your life, and there's no way of getting it back..."
He made Cloud's body walk to Orojya, he started reaching out to pick up Orojya.
"NO!!!!" Cloud said. He charged and tackled the clone.
Cloud's body punched itself. Ivan shook.
"What are you waiting for? Pick it up!!!" Ivan commanded.
Once again, Cloud's body went to reach, but was once again pulled away.
"What's happening?!?" Ivan said.
Cloud's body shouted, as inside it, Cloud and his evil side were fighting for control.
On the surface, Devin called out. "Guys, look!!!" he said, pointing. Miles looked up and was shocked to see the sight... "Dan, lo-- Wait, where's Dan?" Devin asked. They looked, but didn't see him. They focused their way back to the fight...
"You can't...have my body!" Cloud said.
"I won't let you take it!!!" his clone said.
"YES. YOU. WILL!!!!!!" Cloud yelled, pulling out a concealed knife. In one fatal swing, the knife penetrated the clone's stomach. The clone fell and disintegrated.
Cloud's body let out a blood-curdling scream. Then, seconds later, Cloud regained control of his body.
Ivan started forming into his beast form out of pure anger, but Cloud did not let him get any bigger than human size as he tackled him and tried to force the knife into Ivan's head.
Ivan reversed the knife and started pushing back. "It's over!!!" Ivan said.
Then, out of nowhere, four beys tackled right into Ivan, throwing him off of Cloud.
Cloud turned to the beys.
Phoenix.
L-Drago.
Byxis.
Eagle.
"Shawn, Alfred, Karan, Matthew?" Cloud said.
he four emerged from the shades to Cloud's rescue.
"How did you guys get here?!?!" Cloud said shocked.
"Don't worry about that!" Shawn shouted. "Fight!!!!"
"Yes!" Cloud said, "But how do I escape?!?!"
Suddenly, the cage shatters, and the bey that emerges absorbs the electricity.
Evil Shade 130RS.
"W-Where am I?" Cloud said.
"Hello, Cloud..." a voice said. "Welcome to hell..."
Ivan walked out of the shadows.
"Ivan!" Cloud said. "Why you little..."

Dan emerge from the shadows as his bey spun steadily after freeing Cloud's Orojya.
"Dan..." Cloud said. "W-What are you doing here?"
"Something..." Dan replied. "Something personal..." He turned to Ivan. "Alright Ivan, let's have a talk..."
Ivan grumbled. "What kind of talk?"
"Oh, you know..." Dan started. "How about when I beat you two years ago in the World Championships?"
"How dare you bring that up!?!?" Ivan shouted angrily.
"Yeah, we swept your team 3-0 and won in 2010. I'm pretty sure you remember that... People called the most embarrassing finals for Russia ever!" Dan had a large smirk on his face.
Ivan growled.
"Dan, what are you?" Cloud asked.
"Or how about when you got the call from me earlier this year, saying I was back for another face-off? I bet even though you won, you were scared out of your mind. I was your only loss this entire tournament!"
Ivan growled louder.
"I get it!" Cloud thought. He turned to Ivan. "Or how about the worst of all? After I left, and you found out I was on the USA team? Surely you wanted your revenge, and here you are, trying in desperation for it. It's eating at your mind that you can't take me down. You're scared, just as you were with Dan..."
Ivan erupted in anger. He pulled out his knife and ran towards Cloud.
On the surface, the view that the six bladers had disappeared.
"What the?" Devin said, confused.
R-Dev as even in shock as he tried to bring the sight back. "It won't let me. We cannot see the result..." he said.
Miles worried as he wondered what could happen.
Back down in the underworld, Cloud was down, tackled by Ivan. Dan charged, and received a cut across his jaw, along with a punch that took him down to the ground.
"IVAN, NO!!!" Cloud shouted.
As Ivan pulled the knife up, Cloud was saved as he was pushed away. he closed his eyes. He heard the knife penetrating skin. Remarkably, he did not hear blood. He heard the breath of the person who saved him, but no blood.
When he opened his eyes. he turned to the West Coast team. They were all in shock.
Then to Dan, who woke up. "Oh my god..." he said, looking at the sight...
Ivan freaked. He had just killed a human whom he had never had problems with.
"No...NO! NO! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" he shouted, and purple flames surrounded him. He was not on fire, but he felt that he sure was. Ivan then disappeared, but Nemesis remained. Nemesis was open. Cloud looked at Orojya. It did not have enough energy for an Orojya Spear, but it did have enough for one other thing. Cloud took his opportunity to attack.
"OROJYA, SPECIAL MOVE!!! UNFORGIVING BIND!!!"
Orojya entangled Nemesis in snakes and gripped it, until both beys stopped spinning.
"A tie..." Cloud said. "Good enough..."
Cloud picked up the person who saved him as he walked towards the exit of the underworld.
On the surface, the door opened. The West Coast team, Dan and Cloud carrying his hero walked out of the door.
Cloud set his hero down, and hugged Miles as tears arose in their eyes.
"Oh my god, Miles. It was scary. I can't believe I made it... I'm so glad to be back..."
"It's okay, Cloud. You're back, and you're safe... That's all I want for now..." He pulled away. "So, how'd it go?"
"A tie..." Cloud replied.
"What about Ivan..." R-Dev asked.
"He...disappeared in a purple fire..."
R-Dev knew what this meant. "Ivan sacrificed himself... What did he do..."
"He stabbed him..." Cloud replied, pointing at who saved him.
R-Dev widened his eyes.
Devin and Bri checked his vitals. "He has a pulse, but I don't know if it will stay." Bri said.
"We need to get him to the hospital. Either way, if he lives or dies, he was a hero...." Devin said. "West Coast, go ahead and take him away. Let us know how he does..."
The team nodded and carried him away.
Cloud looked at the stab wound as they walked away. He was right. Not a hint of blood from it, only the mark of where it went.
Cloud smiled and thought to himself. "Thank you...thank you...Mr. Shawn Faircloth..."
"Dan..." Cloud said. "W-What are you doing here?"
"Something..." Dan replied. "Something personal..." He turned to Ivan. "Alright Ivan, let's have a talk..."

Miles received a text from Karan about Shawn. "He'll be fine. He will live..." Devin said.
With a sigh of relief, Miles turned to R-Dev. "Well, with that out of the way, it's still 0-0, and this is the last match. A winner HAS to be decided here..."
R-Dev nodded in agreement, and approached the stadium.
"Wait a second, Mr. Eager!" Miles remarked. "This stadium is too dull! We need to go somewhere good!" Miles started walking towards the hallway. R-Dev seemed confused, but followed, nonetheless.
"Where are they going?" Cloud said.
They walked to an elevator. The door opened. Both Miles and R-Dev stepped in.
"Oh god. Don't tell me..." Devin said, scared.
Miles pushed a button. AN up arrow with a red "R" next to it appeared as the door closed.
"Oh my god, they are..." Cloud said.
"I'm going after them!" Bri said and she started running up the stairs.
Cloud and Devin then decided to split up each side of the coliseum. Cloud took Miles' side, while Devin took R-Dev's side.
In the elevator, R-Dev stood still. Miles, seeing this, pressed the emergency stop button, and the elevator halted.
"Alright..." Miles said calmly. "You should know where we're headed..."
R-Dev kept his expression, but a small stream of sweat ran down the side of his face.
"Exactly." Miles continued. "Now, I know that the R-Dev I know, is somewhere in this mind of yours, and I know that this evil spirit isn't going to let him out. So it looks like you're odds are against you. A conflict inside, and outside."
R-Dev's expression grew slightly more angered.
"Now..." Miles went on, "I'd have a look at YOUR chances here, and give up while YOU have the chance..."
R-Dev was unknowingly sweating, in fear, but after about a minute, he shook his head.
"Fine then..." Miles said. "Then be prepared for an all out fight..."
He pressed the restart button on the elevator and they arrived at the top. The wind was much fiercer up here than down below.
Miles walked to the edge where he stood last time, and looked down again. Once again, no cops, no firefighters, no ambulance. Just an empty sidewalk with a few pedestrians like last time. He saw Cloud looking up at him, scared. He breathed in and kept his composure. He backed up and turned. The wind was completely against him.
Miles then looked to R-Dev. who didn't seem to be favoring this too well. He was looking down too, to see Devin, looking up carefully, ready to catch him. R-Dev looked somewhat okay on the outside, but inside, his evil conscious was freaking out, and his good conscious, still fighting back, was ready, also scared of what might happen.
"Now, enough of standing here..." R-Dev said, as calmly as possible. "Let's do this..." He attached MF-F Basalt Impaler 230CS.
"I'd say the same thing..." Miles said, attaching the infamous Wing Pegasis BD145CS.
"3..." Miles said.
"2..." R-Dev said.
"1..." they both said.
Then, with much energy, they yelled in unison, not go shoot, but the same thing as their last match.
"LET IT RIP!!!"
Impaler and Pegasis landed, and both stood still as storm clouds started rolling in and the wind picked up. Bri arrived at the top as they launched. She was horrified. As were Cloud and Devin.
What would happen; Would we have another thankful win for Miles, a sinister win for R-Dev, or will both, once again, fall to what could this time...be a fatal ending to both of their lives?
With a sigh of relief, Miles turned to R-Dev. "Well, with that out of the way, it's still 0-0, and this is the last match. A winner HAS to be decided here..."
R-Dev nodded in agreement, and approached the stadium.
"Wait a second, Mr. Eager!" Miles remarked. "This stadium is too dull! We need to go somewhere good!" Miles started walking towards the hallway. R-Dev seemed confused, but followed, nonetheless.
"Where are they going?" Cloud said.
They walked to an elevator. The door opened. Both Miles and R-Dev stepped in.
"Oh god. Don't tell me..." Devin said, scared.
Miles pushed a button. AN up arrow with a red "R" next to it appeared as the door closed.
"Oh my god, they are..." Cloud said.
"I'm going after them!" Bri said and she started running up the stairs.
Cloud and Devin then decided to split up each side of the coliseum. Cloud took Miles' side, while Devin took R-Dev's side.
In the elevator, R-Dev stood still. Miles, seeing this, pressed the emergency stop button, and the elevator halted.
"Alright..." Miles said calmly. "You should know where we're headed..."
R-Dev kept his expression, but a small stream of sweat ran down the side of his face.
"Exactly." Miles continued. "Now, I know that the R-Dev I know, is somewhere in this mind of yours, and I know that this evil spirit isn't going to let him out. So it looks like you're odds are against you. A conflict inside, and outside."

Spoiler (Click to View)
Pegasis and Impaler stood across from each other, while Miles and R-Dev stared each other down. A storm had rolled in, and was producing some lightning.
Bri had crouched down to avoid being struck. She was scared for both bladers. Either of them could get vstruck from this height.
Down below, Cloud and Devin had the same thought, but they remained standing.
Miles' blue eyes glistened as the wind picked up some more. His blond hair swirled a bit.
As another lightning flash appeared, R-Dev's left eye illuminated bright white in anger. He held onto his black cap.
Then, battle ensued...
Pegasis and Impaler charged, and both made an explosion that would immediately throw a weaker blader clean off the coliseum. Miles did not budge. Neither did R-Dev.
Bri stayed down as they continued producing these large clashes.
"Come on, Pegasis!!!" Miles shouted.
"Don't let him win, Impaler!!!" R-Dev commanded.
The weather had become severely sinister. Lightning, winds over 60 miles per hour, and now it was raining.
The rain came down lightly, but steadily.
Rain came down, onto the battle.
Miles looked up, then back to the stadium, his blue eyes a bit brighter now.
R-Dev also looked up and back, the rainwater soaking his clothes and running down his face.
But some rain wouldn't be stopping this match.
"Come on, Impaler!" R-Dev commanded. "Special Move, Apocalyptic Nightmare!!!"
The attack landed in record speed, but no budging from Pegasis.
"NOW PEGASIS!!! OMEGA STAR NOVA!!!!" Miles shouted.
Pegasis flew up, surrounded in its blue aura, and landed a perfect hit.
Not. A. Dent.
"Oh..." Miles thought... "No..."
Once again, Miles best special move didn't do a thing.
"How about I finish this for once?" R-Dev said. "Special Move, End of the World!!!"
A giant black hole emerged in the center of the stadium. Pegasis and Impaler fell into it.
"AAAHHHHHH!!" Bri screamed getting back.
Miles started getting submerged, similar to quicksand, into the black hole. "NO!!!" he yelled. "GET ME OUT!!!"
"Ahahahahahahaha!!!!" R-Dev laughed. "No chance now!!!" He jumped into the pit as well, and landed right behind Miles.
"Agh!!!" Miles let out. He tried to fight R-Dev off. R-Dev put him in a choke hold and covered his mouth.
"Miles, no!!" Bri let out, now crying.
Miles reached for her as he lost consciousness, closed his eyes, and was submerged into the black hole.
The battle was still going on, but who knew what type of chronic evil and immense horror would take place down there, wherever "there" was...

Miles woke up in darkness.
"Agh, I can't see anything! Why can't I move?!" He said, squirming.
A small light shone over him. His legs were braced to the ground, and his arms were tied from wherever the ceiling was in chains. They slowly cut his wrists as he squirmed.
"OW!" Miles yelled. He then looked over to see Pegasis, trapped in a cage.
"No, Pegasis!" Miles said, trying to go over to it. Once again, the chains and the braces restricted him.
"What kind of sick and twisted trap is this?!?!" Miles yelled. "Get me out!!!"
Then, slowly, from the darkness, R-Dev emerged, more serious then ever. Miles growled at the sight.
"Calm down, you little puppy..." R-Dev said. "No need to start that, especially in the spot you're in..."
"I would expect you to put me in a giant black hole, and to restrain Pegasis, but never put this on me!!!" Miles said. He tried to charge at R-Dev, but the chains stopped him, cutting into his wrists even more. "AAAHHH!!!" He let out in pain, as a little bit of blood trickled down the chain and down his arm.
"You're quite desperate, aren't you, Miles?" R-Dev let out with a snicker. "Patience is a virtue, Miles. Had you learned that, you wouldn't have been in this predicament so soon..."
Miles growled as R-Dev continued on. "After hearing what had went on, you just wanted this over with. You didn't care who worked with you or became friends with you. Anything to get to me faster, you would take..."
"Not true!!" Miles shouted. "I made friends because i felt that they would help me!!! I wouldn't use them as slaves! That's absolutely horrid. I made these friends because i know that they would help me and encourage me as much as possible! And not just Devin, Bri, and Cloud, every blader we met became our friends. They knew our team could make it. They knew we had the power to defeat you, and you are no exception!!!"
R-Dev's serious stare grew more angered. "Enough!!!" R-Dev yelled out. "Impaler, keep him quiet!!!"
Impaler charged from the darkness, hitting Miles right in his stomach. He let out a scream of pain. Impaler then went for the face. Miles turned his head just in time to avoid losing an eye, but he got a large cut on his cheek.
After several more hits, Miles was battered, bloody, and bruised, but still, he wasn't giving up. "I can't...l-let you win, R-Dev...I...c-can't..."
"Oh well then..." R-Dev said, shrugging. He pulled out his gun, loaded new ammo into it, set the sight, and aimed right in between Miles' eyes. "Good bye Miles..." R-Dev said angrily. "See you never again..."
As he cocked the gun, Miles closed his eyes as tears ran down his face.
Then, all of a sudden, A Purple streak knocks the gun out of R-Dev's hand. "What the?" R-Dev let out.
Then, a gray one slid by, hitting Impaler and pushing it back. Then streaks ran everywhere of all colors. One streak freed Pegasis. Four of them broke the braces and chains on Miles. Miles fell to the ground, weak and exhausted. He rose his head to find several beys.
"Bakushin Susanow? Quetzalcoatl? Sagittario? Eagle?!?! What is this...???" Miles said.
He turned over to see some of the bladers he fought with emerge from the shadows.
"Argo? Kei? Guillermo?" Miles said.
More bladers emerged.
"Pablo? Tambai? Yamata Orochi?"
Several others, too many to say, entered. Even two people Miles didn't expect.
"Dan Wheldon?!?! Shawn Faircloth!!!!!"
Sure enough, Dan and his Shade, and Shanw and his Eagle stood in front of him. They helped him up.
"It's time to finish this, Miles!" Dan told him.
"Show him what all of us do when we ignite our bey spirit!!!" Shawn told him.
"Yeah!" Miles said, and he started absorbing all of the powers from his fellow bladers. Pegasis flew into the air, gaining all of these powers. Miles started floating up, too!"
"Woah!" Miles said. SAl of his scratches and bruises disappeared as the weakened R-Dev and Impaler stood up.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" R-Dev screamed out. Miles erupted with energy.
"PEGASIS, UNIVERSAL SPECIAL MOVE!!! UNITE THE NATION!!!!!!"
Pegasis charged and clashed with Impaler. Light rose from the explosion and engulfed everyone.
"Agh, I can't see anything! Why can't I move?!" He said, squirming.
A small light shone over him. His legs were braced to the ground, and his arms were tied from wherever the ceiling was in chains. They slowly cut his wrists as he squirmed.

Miles woke up in his bed. He scratched his head and rose up.
"What the hell?" he said, confused. "Was that all a dream? Surely it couldn't have!"
He turned to find Pegasis glowing blue next to him. He picked it up and looked at it. He then looked outside. Sunny and bright. Then to the clock. 9:45 am. Then, to the calendar. August 30th, 2012, the day after he fought R-Dev in the black hole.
"Huh?" Miles got out of bed and went down the hall. Nobody was there.
"Devin, you here man?"
No answer as he went downstairs.
"Cloud, where are ya?"
No answer. Checking the stadiums.
"Bri, you here, baby?"
No answer either.
"Where the hell is everyone?!?!" Miles said, confused out of his mind.
Then, he spots a note and reads it.
"Miles,
Come to the coliseum as soon as you wake up. There's something for you."
"Signed...R-DEV!?!?" Miles said, shocked. "NO WAY!!! He doesn't write like this!!"
Nevertheless, Miles went to the coliseum, Taking Pegasis just in case.
When he entered he was amazed by all of the fans, from all around the world, chanting and cheering for Miles.
"There he is!" DJ says. "There's Miles, Captain of the West Coast USA Championship team!!!"
Miles friends ran to him and gave Miles a hug.
"What's going on?" Miles asked.
"How do you not know?!?!" Cloud said. "You helped us win the World Championships!!!"
"So...it wasn't a dream..." Miles thought to himself. "Wait, how long was I out?"
"The rest of the day, and overnight..." Bri said. "Ya passed out..."
Miles and his friends walked to the podium where All of the captains, including Dan and Shawn, were standing, applauding.
After realizing that this was true, he broke down into tears of joy.
DJ approached with a microphone. "Miles, we heard about your fight. Your friends described it to us the best they could. You fought through it and got the win. How do you feel?"
Miles tried to gain composure, but the tears kept flowing. "I...I can't believe it. I...I am just...just so overwhelmed right now. This...is unbelievable. I..want to say thanks to my friends, the other captains, mostly Dan and Shawn, who were there for me, and...can R-Dev come over here please?"
R-Dev approached Miles and took the mic calmly. He took a breath as he put an arm over Miles' shoulder.
"I...would like to take a moment, and say my condolences." R-Dev started. "It's unfortunate Ivan couldn't be here to say how sorry he is as well, so I'll say it for him."
The crowd grew quiet to hear this.
"I am sorry to all of the team captains, and your members, for all injuries you took by Ivan, and myself, during battle."
The captains nodded and accepted the apology.
"I am sorry to the crowds of all of the countries, for embarrassing you, and for scaring you out of your wits. Beyblade is a fun game to spectate, not something to fear..."
The crowd applauded in agreement.
"But most of all..." He paused. "I am sorry to Miles and his team. They fought hard and well to get through all of this, and to defeat me cleanly and fairly. I used some dirty tactics on them that I shouldn't have, and fairly say, I cheated. I apologize for that, and I promise not to do this again."
The crowd applauded in satisfaction.
"Now, Miles. I'd like to say something personal..."
"Yeah?"
"You know about our fight?"
"Yes?"
The chains and the braces?"
"Yes..."
"That...was the only time I ever used that. I don't know what was going through my mind, but I apologize for making you go through something so horrific and deadly." He looked at Cloud. "Also, to you, Cloud, sorry for what Ivan did to you. It was equally brutal and evil as mine was..."
"Now, from this day forward, I will do everything, in my power, to stop being evil, and to use by beyblading skills for fun, not pain."
R-Dev gave the mic back, and as he hugged Miles, the crowd applauded.
The DJ brought the fairly largebtrophy out to the West Coast team, and gave it to them.
"Congratulations, guys!!!" DJ said.
Miles looked at it in astonishment. "Can all of the captains come here, please?"
All of them came to Miles.
"Guys, this trophy isn't just for me. It's for all of you. You all show your pride fighting for your country and using your bey spirit to your best power. That skill and determination, gets others involved, and brings peace throughout the beyblade community."
They all nodded.
"And if we can keep doing that..." Miles rose his Pegasis into the air.
Dan lifted his. So did Devin, Cloud, and Bri. Shawn and all of the others rose theirs.
Then, in unison, they all said, "Together, we can Unite the Nation!!!!"
"What the hell?" he said, confused. "Was that all a dream? Surely it couldn't have!"
