The Final Death
I felt a stinging on the side of my neck. I start to open my eyes and see Peter and Feliks standing over me. I must've fallen over. I let out a moan in pain. "He's alive." Peter says with a smile. I sit up and rub my neck. "I saved you." Someone said. I turn to see Alfred with his pistol raised in my direction. My eyes widen. "Being a cop is a good thing." He says with a smile. He then spins the gun around on his finger and puts it back in it's holder. Then it hits me. "Where's Ivan?!" I exclaim.
"Over... Here..." Someone says. I turn to my other side and see Ivan laying on the ground. I crawl over. he has a hole in his shoulder. "Aren't you in pain?" I ask. "Not really." He says. "I'm Russian. We don't feel pain." He smiles. I nod. "But why'd you do that?" I ask. "It was a part of my pla-" He gets cut off. He coughs up blood. He then closes his eyes. "Ivan?!" I shout. He says something in Russian. "Kol... Kol... Kol..."
Then, like that, he's gone. I stand up and turn to Tat. I see tears in his eyes. "He's dead, Tat." I say. "Just like everyone else." "Shut up." Tat says. I ready Tempus. "GO SHOOT!" I shout as I launch him. The stinging goes through my neck again. I wince at the pain. "GO TEMPUS!" I shout. Tempus and Astron collide.
"You've had the good life!" Tat yells at me. Tempus is pushed back a bit. "But you could have had a good life, Tat!" I yell back. Tempus pushes Astron back. They continue clashing. "I was treated as I was forsaken!" He yells. "After I found Astron..." "What was that?" I ask. He looks mad. "After I found Astron!" He responds, angrily.
"That's the forsaken bey!" I say. "No wonder!" Tat gets madder. He clenches his fists. "You don't understand..." He says. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF ASTRON!" Astron is surrounded by a black aura. A Black Knight comes out of Astron. It looks just like the beast of Tempus. The White Kinght.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY LIFE!" He screams. The knight raises his sword. "YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT ME!" Tat screams. He, too, is surrounded by a black aura. "MY FATHER AND MOTHER ARE DEAD! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" He screams. The knight brings his sword down. But, it's not heading for Tempus. It's heading for me.

Evil Turned Good
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tat screamed. The Black Knight brought his sword down. "This is the end." I thought. "Thanks everyon-" My thoughts where scattered as I heard a scream. But it wasn't any of my friends. It was in front of me. I saw sound waves blast the sword of the Knight away. The Knight vanished. Then suddenly two people appeared in front of me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Vash Edelstein. Anca Stephan. They weren't the same, although. Vash was made out of a yellow aura. Anca was made out of a blood red aura. They turned to me and smiled. "We've got your back, Z." Anca said. She then faded into dust and went inside Tempus. Vash gives me a thumbs up. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused." He said. "Just know I'm with you now." He faded into dust and went inside Tempus.
"Thank you..." I mumbled. Tat was furious. "ASTRON!" He yelled. He put his hands up and a black and blue sword appeared in them. He brought it down to his nose. He smiled and shocks of energy flew out of the sword. He ran at me.
He brought the sword back as I covered my face. He jumped up and tried to bring it down, but hit something protecting me. A black and green bubble appeared. It then faded into two more people. I still couldn't believe it. Two more people appeared.
It was Saika and Toris. Saika was formed by a black aura. Toris, with a green one. Saika turned to me. "I'm sorry for what happened to Anca." He said. He then faded into dust and went into Tempus. Toris smiled. "Thanks for saving me." He said. He then waved to Feliks and disappeared into Tempus.
A rainbow aura surrounded me. Same with Tempus. Tat was even worse. I put my hands up and a rainbow sword was formed. I brought it down. I stared at the gold trimming on it. "So this is what it's like to be a knight." I thought. I then got serious and brought it back. I ran at Tat, who ran at me. Our swords collided, and so did our beys.
We brought our swords back again, and again, clashed them together. Our beys did the same. Tat smiled. "You're gonna lose!" He said. He started to push me back. "Never!" I respond. I push him back. We bring our swords back. But suddenly, Tat hits mine out of my hand and knocks me over.
Everyone gasps. "Z!" Fan screams. Tat laughs and puts the sword to my nose. "I told you." He said. "You're going to lose. You're going to die." He brings the sword up. "I've been waiting a long time to do this!" He says with a smile and a laugh. I cover my face as he brings the sword down, preparing for the worse.

The Golden Armor
I used my arms to shield my face from what was about to happen. Tat laughed as he brought the sword down. Expecting pain, I felt nothing. Something had blocked the sword. "What the hell?!" Tat exclaimed as he jumps back from me. I open my eyes to see two golden arm protectors appear on my arms. I sit up and look down to the rest of my body. What I see is unbelievable.
I stand up as a golden armor forms on me. I feel a golden aura surround me. Something happens to Tempus, too. Tempus' chrome wheel, track, and tip change from white to gold. And his face changes to a Metal Stone Face. Tat looks scared as I call my sword back to me. I stare at the blade as words appear on it. It says:


A smile spreads across my face. The words then disappear. I take a fighting stance. I then get a better look at my armor. It's like a knights armor, only, it has a scarf flowing off of it, and the head protector is like a ninja's mask, but with a cloak's hood for the top. Tat looks scared now. But then, he gets serious.
"You think I'm done yet?!" He asks. Then, a deep blue aura forms around him. He unleashes his power and black bolts of energy shoot out from him. I jump away from them, but keep an eye on Tat. They stop and I land on one knee. Then, it happens. A black armor forms around Tat, and something happens to Astron.
Astron's chrome wheel, track, and tip change from dark blue to black. Tat's armor is like a knight's armor, too, but it's different than mine. The head gear is covering his whole face. He wears a black cloak, but it the hood down. I can see why. The top of his head armor is on fire. Only it's not fire. It's a very powerful energy.
He gets in a fighting stance. Both of our beys come to our side. "Please win, Z!" Fan shouts. I look back and nod. "I will." I say. "I swear." I then turn back to Tat. Everything goes silent. The wind blows through his cloak and my scarf. That signals it. We both charge at each other and our swords clash, sending out a very powerful shockwave. Our beys collide, too. They stay together, as we do.
"Give it up, Z!" Tat screams and pushes me back. "Never!!!" I respond and push him back. Our beys continue to give all they've got. I power up even more than I ever have before. Tat tries to compete, but can't. I throw his sword away and he falls over. I bring my sword back. He looks away as I sling it at him. But, I don't hit him. I got through the energy and my sword absorbs it.
He looks back as my sword is surrounded by golden flames. "I'll never forgive you!" I say as I bring my sword up. "NO!" Someone shouts. "Huh?!" I exclaim. I put the sword down and look behind Tat. It's Ivan. He shakes his head. "Don't kill him!" He says. I feel an anger rising in me. "Why not?!" I ask. Ivan frowns.
"Because he's my son." Ivan responds. Then it hits me. I look to my dad, who is still tied up. He shakes his head. "Don't do it." He says. I nod. "Fine." I say and look down to Tat. "Get up." I say. Tat doesn't say no as he gets up. I turn away from him. "How can I not kill him..." I think. Everything that's happened to me plays back through my head, like a movie.
From meeting Fan to Anca punching Vash in the gut. It's all there. Then I realize, I can't kill him. He's someone else's son, like me. It wouldn't be right. I turn back to him and drop my sword. The look in his eyes suggested that he was confused. I then put my hands together and an orb of fire formed in them. Everyone gasps.
"This is for your own good, Tat." I say. Tat looks scared now. "Fire?!" He exclaims. "But how?!" He says. I don't answer. He then turns and starts running from me. I raise my right hand. The fireball gets bigger. "Because." I say. "I am the Chosen One. The Master of the Elements." The fireball is now up to it's full potential. "I am the Knight of all the Elements!" I shout as I through the ball. It hits Tat dead square in the back.

The Master of All Elements
It hits Tat dead square in the back. His armor beings to shatter. Everyone gasps. Tat struggles to stand against the pain that is probably filling his body right about now. He throws his head back and screams in pain. I feel a smile spread across my face. "In just a few minutes, the battle will be ours, Tempus."
I get into a better stance as a golden aura surrounds me. "Water!" I yell. Water surrounds me. I launch it at Tat, who is in too much pain to move. It hits him in the side and his armor cracks more. Tempus smashes into Astron. I hear Astron crack. Tat howls in pain, again. He falls to his knees and shivers.
"Earth!" I shout. I stomp the ground and Tat flies into the air. This causes the armor to crack a bit more. "I'm not done yet!" I shout. I take a defensive stance, as Fan and Yao do when practicing martial arts. I move my hands in the air. Then I take a fighting stance and a tornado forms behind me.
"Take this!" The tornado shoots out at Tat. He is swallowed up by it and his armor starts to crumble. He hits the ground and shouts something in Russian. I bring my hands up and look into the air. I just noticed the helicopter filming our battle. I waved at the people filming and they waved back.
I went back to what I was doing. Two white orbs formed in my hands. I smiled and brought them down. "This is for everyone who you hurt!" I say. Tat looks back up with a crazy look on his face. He laughs. "Go ahead." He says. "Finish me off." I brought my arms back. I was about to smash the orbs together when it hit me.
They disappear. "Z?" Feliks asks. I don't respond. I walk over to Tat and pick him up. I slap him as hard as I can in the face. I then drop him and the orbs form in my hands again. "You're on crazy son of a gun." I say. He smiles. I smash the orbs together. They form a giant orb. I bring my hands back up.
"The last element." I say. "The most important element." Tempus and Astron are still clashing. Then, Tempus stays on Astron. "Time." I say and bring my hands down. The orb smashes into Tat's chest and his armor cracks and crumbles to pieces. Tempus sends Astron flying. I look up and watch Astron crack to pieces and fade into dust.
I smile, but then, the worst happens. The ground beneath us opens and we both fall into a black void of darkness. Feliks and Peter try to save me, but, it's too late. Tat and I fall into darkness. My armor fades away. We are defenseless. "Must... Fight... The darkness..." I put my hand up, as if someone will take it, but no one does. Then everything fades to black.

Turning Back Time
"Hey!" Someone called. I felt myself flinch. "Are you okay!?" The voice asked. I opened my eyes to see Tat towering above me. I felt fear surge through my body. I moved away. "Don't hurt me!" I said. He looked confused. "I won't hurt you. We're bound to die in here, anyways." He responds. Then it hit me. We're still trapped in this dark void. The one I opened. I hid my face in my hands.
Tat walked over and helped me up. "Hey." He said. I looked up. "We're going to get out of here. And I know a way." I looked confused. "How?" I ask. Tat smiles. "Turn back time. Before I got Astron. All of this mess will be over with." "But you'll forget us!" I respond. He smiles. "No I won't. You guys are hard to forget. Therefore, I'll never forget you. But... I'll forget Astron." He replies.
I look down. "Is he serious?" I think. I look back up and nod. "Good." He says. He puts out his hand. "It's been great being your enemy." He says with a smile. I smile, too, and take his hand. I power up with a white aura. "Thanks." He says. The white aura surrounds him. His eyes turn white. Then, a bright light fills the void.
I can see his memories. Him and Anca fighting. Him raging about losing Anca. Him and Anca training. Something is different. Then it hits me. Tat loves Anca. Then, more memories are shown. I watch him discover Astron. Him and some man with white hair and ice cold blue eyes. That must've been the scientist. I've seen him somewhere before. He's familiar. Then the light fades.
Tat falls to the ground. "Tat!" I exclaim and get down on my knees. He coughs. "Who's Tat..." He mumbles. He looks up to me. His eyes are a deep violet color, like Ivan's. "My name is Vladimir... They call me Vlad, Z. You should know that." I smile. "You're back..." I mumble. He smiles. "Where'd I go?" He asks with a laugh. Then suddenly, a light starts filling the void. "I'll explain later. Right now, let's get out of here." I say. He nods and we are consumed by the light.
We appear back in the BeyPark, on the ground. "Z!" Someone shouts. I look up to see my friends running to me. I get up and give Fan a giant hug. "I'm so glad you're safe..." She says. Peter, Feliks, and Lilly are standing behind her. They give me a giant group hug. "You're not the only ones who's glad he's safe." A familiar voice says. I turn to see Anca, Toris, Vash, and Saika.
I smile. "You guys are safe, too." I say. They all walk over and join the group hug. "You guys are crushing me!" I say. They all back off laughing. "I'm proud of you, Z." A voice says. I turn to see my father and Ivan standing there. "Dad!" I say. I run over and give him a hug. "I'm so sorry about what happened!" I say.
"Don't worry." He says. "I let my guard down, too." Everyone walks over. Vlad stands alone, looking sad. Ivan looks sad, too. He walks to Vlad. "I'm happy you're home safe." He says and puts his arms out. Vlad kindly hugs him. I look to Anca, who's arm went back to normal. Vash stands beside her. She has an angry look on her face.
I could tell she was angry. "Anca, Vash loves you." I say. She looks up in shock. Same with Vash. "Now just kiss and make up." I say with a smile. Anca turns to Vash. "You do... Don't you?" She asks. Vash nods and hugs her. She hesitates for a second, but hugs him back. I then turn to Fan.
I put my hand to her cheek. "Just so you know, I chose you." I say. I then kiss her, not caring who's watching. "If they keep this up, we could be in-laws." I here my dad say to Yao. They both laugh. I pull away and she hugs me. "I love you." She says. "I love you, too." I respond. We hug for a minute and Ivan and Vlad walk over.
"I'm glad this is all over." Ivan says. I look up. "Now we can be a family again." He says with a smile. I nod in response. "Same with me and Toris." Feliks says. "And me and Vash!" Lilly chimes in. "We're all just one big family!" Peter says. We all laugh. "Wait!" I say suddenly. "Where's Tempus!?"
I turn to see Tempus barely spinning. I call him back to me. I take a good look at him. He's gold with silver highlights now. "Thank you, Tempus." I say. I feel tears of joy forming in my eyes. Someone puts their hand on my back. I turn to see Vlad. "Thanks, bro." He says with a smile. "It's time for us to go home now."
I smile. "Until we meet again. My friend." I say. Then, I look up to the helicopters above us. I give them a thumbs up. Then, Tempus glows with a silver aura. Same with everyone else's beys. They put their beys in the air.
"Fire!" Fan shouts. "Water!" Peter exclaims. "Earth!" Feliks yells. "Air!" Lilly shouts. "Blood!" Anca exclaims. "Lightning!" Vash yells. "Poison!" Toris shouts. "Darkness!" Saika exclaims. I put Tempus up. "TIME!" I yell. They unleash a bright energy into the air. I turn back to my friends. "Thank you, everyone." I say with a smile.

(Told from Ivan's point of view)
Moscow, Russia. 2 Years Later
My boots crunched in the newly fallen snow. It was the best time of year. Winter. My son and daughter followed me while playing around. "Hi Mr. Ivan!" Young bladers called as they ran past me, heading for the BeyPark. Someone grabs the side of my coat and I look down to see my daughter, Sofia. I pick her up and she giggles. I put her up on my shoulders.
She's only two years old, but has shown great potential. Then I realize something. I can't hear Vlad's laughter anymore. I turned and no one is there. Then I hear it. "Dad..." Someone calls from a nearby alley. It's Vlad's voice. I run into the alley. "Vlad!" I shout. Then someone covers my mouth.
"We're here for the girl." Someone whispers in my ear. I turn to see two cloaked figures standing behind me. Sofia jumps down from my shoulders. She runs off behind me. "Brother!" She calls. I turn. "Sofia!" I shout, but she's gone. One of the figures laughs. "Forget it. She's ours." He says.
Then it hits me. I know who they are. "Go get the girl. I'll take care of him." One says. The other nods and runs off in the direction Sofia went. "No... Way..." I say and take a step back. "You're... You're..." My eyes widen. "V-" I get cut off by a gunshot and a scream. "She's ours!" The figure in front of me says. Then, everything fades to black.

(Back to Z's point of view)
Beijing, China. The same day.
I adjusted the tie I was wearing. It was a very important day. "You ready?" Someone asks. I turn to see Fan in a beautiful red dress. It had orange diamonds on the bottom of it. I smile and nod. "Yeah." I say as I walk up to her and take her hand. We walk out the door of the dressing room. We meet Yao, my father, and my friends.
I bow in front of Yao. "Congratulations on being appointed to such a high position in the Chinese government." I say with a smile. He bows and smiles back. "Why thank you, young champion, aru." He says in response. A guard walks up to us. "We're ready." He says. We nod. He escorts us to two big doors.
He pushes them open. In front of us stands a crowd of over five million people. We wave to them and then, the Chinese national anthem begins to play. I hear Fan singing along to it. She's very good. Then, a very important looking man walks out as the song ends. He stands in front of Yao and bows.
"I am very honored to meet you, President Hu." Yao says as he bows. The man then looks to me and smiles. "You must be the champion who mastered time and saved the world." He says and turns to me. I feel a cheeky grin spread across my face. "Well, I wouldn't say champion." I respond nervously. He laughs and then bows.
"I am very honored to meet you, Z." He says. He then puts his hand out. I kindly shake it. "My name is Hu Jintao. I am the president of China." He says. I smile. "I am Z Faircloth. Resident of Hope Mills, North Carolina, USA." He laughs again. I join in and soon everyone else does. He then turns back to Yao.
"Time to give you what you've come here for." He says. He takes out a medal. "It is in my honor to appoint you as Grand General of the Chinese military, Yao Wang." He puts the medal on Yao, who smiles. The crowd roars. Yao bows again. "Thank you, President Hu." We all gather for a group photo.
After the picture is taken, Yao turns to Fan. He puts his hand on her shoulder. "I'm glad you're with Z." He says. "He's a great kid. And I can tell he loves you." Fan then turns to me. I probably have a cheeky look on my face. She smiles and walks to me. She kisses me right there. The crowd roars even louder.
I'm so happy right now. She pulls away. "Thank you, Fan." I say with a smile. I look to everyone else. Peter has Lilly's hand. Vash has his arm around Anca. Toris is on Saika's shoulders and Feliks stands proudly beside him. "And thank you, everyone." I say.

Many of you have heard of Z and Shawn Faircloth, right? Well, this is the story of another blader. My name is Louis Bonnefoy. This is the tale of my twin brother, Francis Bonnefoy, and I. Along with my friends Iggy and Tino, we are Team Bey Blasters. They team representing America in the new World Championships. I plan to one day be just like Z and Shawn. At the top. And nothing will stop me. My bey, Lynx, and I will stop at nothing to defeat a new evil rising. Let's go, Lynx!
