Nightmares
Peter fell to his knees, fainted. "Peter!" I exclaim. My father runs over. Feliks helps me pick him up. "Call Mr. Alfred!" I say to my father. "I'm already on it." He walks away with his phone. Lilly comes over. "Is he ok?" She asks. "We don't know." Feliks responds. Roderich walks over. "You need any other assistance?" He asks. "No." I respond. I put my hand up to him. Then suddenly, a vision flashes through my mind.
I stand there, watching a little boy fight with Roderich. They look just alike. "I hate you!" The little boy shouts. Roderich looks dazed. "You're the worst dad ever!" He continues shouting. "V-Vash..." Roderich says and starts walking up to the boy. The boy, who I assume is Vash, takes out the rifle he had on his back. He points it right at Roderich. "Take one more step." He says. His eyes turn red. "YOU CAN EAT BEYBLADE!" The little boy shouts and pulls the trigger. That's all I see.
I come back to reality. I start to open my eyes. The first thing I see are Feliks and Lilly's concerned faces. I sit up and hit Feliks' head with mine. "GAH!" Feliks exclaims. "Sorry!" I say. "It's cool..." He says and holds the red spot that was on his forehead. "What happened to you?" He asks. "You just fell down. We got worried." "Oh it was nothing. I just saw-" I look to Roderich. "Nothing. It was nothing." The suddenly, another vision is sent through my head. "Z!" I hear Feliks shout.
I stand there, watching two little boys mess around. "You're pretty cool, Toris!" Says one of the boys. He looks like a younger version of Feliks. The other boy laughs. "We'll be best friends forever!" The other boy, who I assume to be Toris, says. "Yeah!" Younger Feliks says and high fives him. Then suddenly, I get sent to another world. I see Feliks and Toris again, but this time, a little older.
They were playing outside with their beys. "Go Golem!" Feliks shouts. "Akuma!" Toris exclaims as his bey is blasted out of the stadium. It gets sent over a big wall. "I'll get it!" Toris exclaims and climbs the wall. Feliks catches Golem. He sits there for five minutes. "Toris?" He asks. No response. "Toris!" He yells. Still no response. Tears fill his eyes. He climbs to the top of the wall. I walk over and climb it, too. I look over the top. Toris is nowhere to be seen. "TORIS!" Feliks yells. No response. He starts crying and I am sent back to reality.
A shock of pain goes through my body. I let out a scream in pain. I can't hear anything. I can only see Feliks, who is sitting in front of me. I can just barely tell what he is yelling. "Z!" He yells. I feel dizzy. I look beside me. Peter is still out cold. Everything is happening so fast, I can't tell what's going on around me. I feel sleepy. I start falling backwards. Feliks catches me. The last thing I see is him yelling my name.
I fall into a world of darkness. "Where am I?!" I exclaim. All I see is darkness. But then, four figures appear. I can't tell who they are. A teenage boy appears. It's Vash. Then a teenage girl, who I've never seen before, appears. Then another boy, who looks around 19, appears. Then the last person appears. A little boy about my age. It's Toris. They say nothing. Then, a flash of blue light appears. It sends me flying back. Another person appears. He's about 15 or 16. He lets out an evil laugh and some Beyblade's beast appears. It heads right for me. I scream.
"HELP!" I shout as I open my eyes. I'm sitting in a hospital bed. I start panting. I feel sweat dropping from my forehead. I didn't notice it, but my father, Feliks, Alfred, and Peter were in the room. "Z!" Feliks exclaims and runs to my side. Peter follows. So do my father and Alfred. "What happened?!" My dad asks. I continue breathing heavily. "Z?" My dad asks. "I-I don't k-know." I manage to say. I look up. Peter looks concerned. I point at him. "I'm ok." He says. "I just was just dehydrated." I nod.
"What happened to you?" Feliks asks. I shake my head. I feel some kind of energy in me. "I need to talk to Peter and Feliks. Alone." I say, suddenly. My dad and Alfred nod and walk out of the room, closing the door. "What is it?" Peter asks. I grit my teeth. "Well?" Feliks asks. "Marvo Astron has been unleashed." I say.

Memories
They looked shocked. "But I thought it was just a legend..." Feliks says, letting his voice trail off. "Same. But I know I saw it." I respond. I then proceed to tell them about the visions. "T-Toris..." Feliks says. I then tell them about the one with Vash. "So you know about my big brother..." A familiar voice says. We look up to see Lilly standing at the door. She walks over. "It happened when I was just a baby..." She says. "He went insane... We don't know what happened." I see tears in her eyes. I look up to see Roderich standing by the door with a grim look on his face. "We wanted to forget it..." She says. "But we couldn't."
I look to Feliks. Tears were streaming down his cheeks, too. "Toris was my best friend..." He said. "He was abducted when I was 10... That's why I gave up everything and left that hell I called home. I left Poland completely because I couldn't take the pain anymore." I look to Peter. "You weren't dehydrated, were you." Peter's expression changes. His eyes dart to the left. "I was dehydrated!" He says. "I can tell you're lying, Peter. We've been friends for a long time. Just tell us the truth."
He looks at the ground. "You remember what happened to my mom, right?" He asks. I nod. "It just kept flashing through my head... I couldn't take it... She was shot over and over again... I just gave in to the pain." "What does it mean though..." I say. "We all saw things we wanted to forget... That's it!" I exclaim. "Huh?" They all ask.
"We all have memories we want to get rid of. We must be connected somehow." I say. "I wonder what this means..." I think. I look up. "Hey Z," Feliks starts. I look to him. "Do you have a memory you want to forget?" I stare down at the bed. "No. Not yet, at least." "Lucky." Feliks says. It gets quiet. Then we hear it.
"Z!!!!" A female voice is shouting. I jump out of bed. I'm not the only person who hears it. We walk outside the room. There's Fan and Yao Wang running towards us. "Fan!" I exclaim. She smiles and runs faster. She stops right in front of me. Yao's behind her, bent over, gasping for air. "I'm not... As fast... As I used to be..." He manages to say. "Sorry!" Fan says and laughs. She turns to me.
She takes out Phoenic. "You ready to battle?" She asks. "Heck yeah!" I respond and take out Tempus. Yao steps up next to Fan. He takes out his bey. "How about a tag-team?" He asks and shows me his Sol Blaze. My father steps up next to me. "We'd be honored to battle with you." He says and takes out Eagle. "Bring it on!" I exclaim.

The Exciting Tag Battle
"Follow me." I say and start running in the opposite direction. My father and Yao followed. Everyone else followed, too. "You healed quickly!" Fan exclaims as we run past nurses and doctors. I speed up. We get to the last floor. I find to door to the roof. We walk on. "We'll battle there." I say and point to a helicopter pad. Fan nods. "Now we have to wait for those old geezers to get here." I say and laugh. Fan doesn't respond. "Fan?" I look over. She's looking over the edge. I walk over. "It's so much better than Beijing..." She says. "I really love it here."
"Yeah." I respond. I feel weird. Not with the energy power, but like, something else. I can't describe it. I have this weird feeling in my chest and stomach. "Ha!" Someone exclaims. "I beat you, aru!" I turn to see Yao and my dad slap fighting. "Watch this." I say to Fan. I walk over with a smug look. "Ladies, ladies. Calm down." I say. They realize they're fighting and laugh. "You ready to battle?" My dad asks. I nod and run over to the helicopter pad. "Over here!" I say.
They run over. Fan comes back. We ready our beys. The rest of the group is just now getting here. "Alright! 3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!" We all shout and launch our beys. The collide in the middle of the huge H. "Eagle!" My father shouts. "Blaze!" Yao shouts. They collide causing a little explosion. "Tempus!" I exclaim. "Phoenic!" Fan exclaims. Our beys collide. "Go!" I yell as Tempus lets out a series of barrage attacks. "Alright! Now!" Fan exclaims. "Special Move! Flaming Destroyer!" Phoenic set on fire.
Fan took a fighting stance. So did Yao. "Special Move!" Yao shouted. "Inferno Sun Flare!" Blaze sets on fire. "Heaven and Earth formation, aru!" Yao says to Fan. Fan nods and Phoenic starts circling around Blaze. "NOW!" They exclaim at the same time. "DOUBLE SPECIAL MOVE! ULTIMATE INFERNO FIRE!" Phoenic circles around faster and eventually creates a fire tornado. "Tempus!" I exclaim. "Eagle!" My father exclaims. I look to him and he nods. Eagle is surrounded by wind.
Eagle goes towards Tempus. Eagle jumps on top of Tempus and Tempus throws him into the air. "SPECIAL MOVE!" My father shouts. "CROSS WIND DESTROYER!" Eagle comes down. He makes contact with the fire, but needs more power. "TEMPUS!" I exclaim. Tempus is surrounded by a white aura. "TIME DISTORTER BLAST!" Tempus sends out a blast of energy. It hits one of the two beys. The fire gets put out as one goes flying. It's Blaze. "Blaze!" Yao exclaims as Blaze is knocked out. Blaze lands on the top of itself and stops spinning. "Yeah!" I exclaim.
But then I notice. My father's Eagle is also not spinning. "Oops." I say. "It's ok." My father responds. "Now show her Tempus's power!" I nod and turn back to the battle. "Go!!!" We both shout and our beys start going for each other. Then suddenly, a high pitches noise is sent through my ears. I cover my ears. Fan does, too. So do Peter, Feliks, and Lilly. We fall to our knees. "GAH!" We all exclaim. I get sent into another vision.
There, standing in front of me is the 15 year old. He has silvery-white hair and purple eyes. He had on a deep blue Russian military uniform with black shoes. He also was carrying a faucet pipe. He looked like someone my father talked about. I looked beside me to see Peter. In front of him was Vash. Them Fan was beside Peter with that girl in front of her. Feliks had Toris in front of him. And Lilly had that older boy in front of her.
We were sent back into the real world. I fell to my knees. Both of our beys were knocked out. My father runs over to me. "Z!" He exclaims. "Are you ok?" I nod. "I just... Saw... The user of... Marvo Astron." I say and look to him. Peter runs over. It's true. I saw him, too. Lilly and Feliks both nod. Fan is trembling in fear. Yao is hugging her. "It's ok.." He says. She can't stop shivering. My father closes his eyes. I see an image of a younger Yao, out cold, and trembling in fear. "GAH!" I exclaim. "Huh?" My dad mumbles. "Are you ok!?" He asks. "I fear we are being targeted." I respond. "So... no."

The Terror in Austria
After getting checked out at the hospital, we all talked in the park. We talked about things that were going on, played games, and discussed beyblade-related things. "I really like the E230 on you Phoenic, Fan." Peter said. "Why thanks." Fan responded. "I like your Orojya. It's a rare sight in China." Peter nods. "Do you guys have Zero G stadiums?" I ask Fan. She shakes her head. "To tightly packed. Not enough room." She reponds. "That sucks." Feliks chimes in. He continues messing with Golem. After all the playing we had a picnic.
"Hey," Roderich starts. We all look up. "Why don't you guys come to back to Austria with us! We have a private jet." My friends and I fall backwards. Lilly laughs. "Y-You really mean it?" My father asks. Roderich nods. "We're leaving tomorrow." My dad gets up. "We better get packing." He says. Everyone laughs. "We'll be at the airport around 3 in the afternoon." Elizabeta says. "That should give you enough time." We all nod and run off.
The Next Day
"This is gonna be AWESOME!" Peter exclaims as we walk down the airport terminal. "I know right!" I respond. "Another country I get to see!" Fan says. Our fathers laugh. "Wait up!" Someone shouts. We turn to see Feliks running towards us. "There you are!" I say. "We thought you were staying behind!" "And... Miss... A chance... Like this?" The out of breath Feliks says. "No... Way!" We all laugh as he stretches. "Over here guys!" A familiar voice shouts. We turn to see Lilly and her family.
We walk over. "The plane is ready!" She says. We all board the plane. I walk on. "This is... AWESOME!" I shout. It's the most expensive thing I've ever seen. I take a seat near the back of the plane. Peter, Fan, and Feliks sit with me. Lilly sits with her parents. "Man she really does like her paren- OH MY GOD. A MASSAGE BUTTON." Feliks exclaims. He presses the button and we all laugh as he proceeds to make funny noises. I hear a giggle. I look up to see Lilly looking over her seat.
She hides her face when I look to her. I make a hand gesture for her to come back here. She looks at Roderich and then back to me with a frown. I frown. Everyone looks up and makes hand gestures. She puts one finger up as if to say "Hold on". I nod. She sits back in her seat, and so do we. The plane takes off.
As soon as the light for us being able to move around comes on, she jumps her seat. "Lilly!" Roderich exclaims. She runs back to us. "Let the girl have her fun, Roderich." My father says. "Oh ok." Roderich responds. "Welcome to the party!" I say. She laughs. She sits in Fan's lap. Fan tells us stories about China. Feliks told us Polish folk tales. Lilly told us German and Austrian fairy tales.
Hours Later
A message comes over the intercom and says: "Prepare to land." We all buckle out seat belts and Lilly goes back to her parents. "Look!" Peter says and points out the window. We look outside. The scenery is so beautiful. "Whoa..." We all say in awe. Peter presses his face against the window. "I shink I can shee Shlovakia!" He says. It was hard to understand with his face against the window.
The plane lands in Vienna, Austria. We walk through the airport. "This looks nothing like that movie we watched in music class." Peter says. "You mean that move, The Sound of Music?" Roderich asks. Peter nods. "It's been a long time. Plus is was filmed up in the mountains. Europe is a lot more technologically advanced than you think."
"Oh." Peter responds. "I knew that." He has a cheeky grin on his face. We laugh. We get our bags and are walking towards the exit of the airport. Feliks is telling us more Polish folk tales. He's acting them out, too. People are giving us funny looks, but when they see Roderich, they act like they just saw God. He waves to all the fan girls. Elizabeta holds on to his arm. We walk out the exit.
The suddenly, a beyblade comes out of nowhere and smacks Roderich and Elizabeta away. "Watch it-" Roderich says but goes mute. We run over to them. "Are you ok?" My father asks. He's still silent. He staring at something. Elizabeta has tears coming down her cheeks. We look up to see a boy standing in front of us. It's Vash. He takes out a rifle and points it to Roderich's head. He then looks to me. "Come with me or Mr. Fancy Pants here gets it." He says. Roderich turns to me. "Run." He mouths. I nod and take off. The last thing I hear is the sound of a gunshot.

The Return of Ivan Braginski
"Run." Roderich mouthed to me. I frown. "Just go!" He mouths. I nod and run. I hear a gunshot. I can't help but stop and look back. Then suddenly, a beyblade comes out of nowhere. It smashes into the bullet, tearing it to pieces. "Damn it!" Vash exclaims and runs away. I run back over. "Who's bey is that?!" Feliks exclaims. "I've never seen a bey like it before..." Peter says, letting his voice trail off. The bey's clear wheel was deep gray, almost black, in color. It had a thick wheel and a 4D bottom.
"It's my bey." A voice says. "No way." My father says and smiles. A man walks out from behind a tree nearby. He has white hair and purple eyes. He was wearing a black Russian military uniform. He resembled the boy I saw in my visions. "Well if it isn't Ivan Braginski." Roderich says. The man smiled. "It's been awhile, my friends." He says. He helps Roderich and Elizabeta up. "Thanks for saving me." Roderich says. "No problem." Ivan responds. I walk up to him.
"Hey." I say and pull at his sleeve. He looks at me then to my father. "This your son?" He asks. My father nods. "His name is Zeit, but people call him Z." He looks back down to me. I feel scared. He is towering above me. I want to confront him about the boy I saw. "Nice to meet you Z." He says and puts his hand out for me to shake. I kindly shake it. "I'll ask him later." I think.
"Why are you in Austria?" Roderich asks. "I was planning to go to Poland to take on the strongest blader there, but the plane stopped in Austria first. I figured I'd come and say hi to you and Elizabeta. Good thing I came, too." He responds. Feliks lets out a whimper. Ivan looks to Feliks. "Something wrong?" He asks. Feliks gulps. "I-I'm the n-number one b-blader in P-Poland." He manages to say. Ivan's facial expression goes blank. "Ha! He has a poker face!" Peter says. I punch him in the arm.
"But you're just a kid!" Ivan exclaims. Feliks nods. "I bet you haven't even had a taste of vodka yet!" He says. "I haven't, but that doesn't mean I can't be a strong blader." Ivan laughs. They get in each other's faces. I step in the middle of them. "Stop fighting!" I say. I look to Ivan. "I need to talk to you. In private." Ivan nods. My father looks concerned, but nods. The others walk away.
I take Ivan to an ally near the airport. "What is it?" He asks. I look around to make sure no one followed us. I then look to him. "Do you by any chance have a son?" I ask. His expression goes blank. "D-Da." He responds. "His name is Vladimir Braginski... But he went missing a while back..." He hides his face. I see a tear fall from his face. "Well..." I start. "I believe I've found him."

The Vampire
"I believe I've found him." I say to Ivan. He looks up with a shocked expression. "Y-You have?!" He manages to say. I nod. "He uses the bey Marvo Astron." Ivan gasps. "T-The forbidden bey?!" He asks. I nod. "He's been sending me visions." I say. Ivan stares at the ground. "This is bad..." He says. "We should go catch up with the others." I say. Ivan doesn't respond. "You okay?" I ask. "Da." He says and looks up. "Let's get going." He smiles slightly, as if nothing happened. We then go and catch up with the others.
"Wait up!" I exclaim when I see them. They're walking to a bey park. My father turns around. "Come one!" He says. Ivan and I run to catch up. "I thought I'd show them how we battle in Austria!" Roderich says. I smile. "Sounds like a plan!" I exclaim. We go inside the park. "Look!" Someone shouts. "Roderich!" Another person shouts. Everyone looks up. Roderich laughs nervously. All the bladers run over.
"I wanna battle you!" One blader said. "Please!" Another blader says. We laugh. "Go have your fun." Roderich says to us. We run to different stadiums. Peter and I went to a regular stadium. "Let's go!" I exclaim and ready Tempus. "Bring it!" Peter exclaims and readies Orojya. "3! 2! 1! GO SHOO-" We get cut off by an explosion and a scream from a Zero G stadium near by. The scream belongs to Lilly. She stumbles back and falls off the lift. "Lilly!" Peter exclaims and runs over.
He jumps onto the lift and catches her. He lands on the ground, unharmed. Fan, Feliks, and I run over. Lilly's out cold. "Go get Roderich!" I say to Fan and Feliks. They nod and run off. "Ha!" Someone exclaims. I look up as the smoke clears. There stands a girl about the same age as Vash. "Who are you?!" I ask. She catches her bey and disappears. "What the?!" Peter exclaims. She appears in front of us.
"I am Anca Stephan." She says. I could just tell what she said. She had a scarf over her mouth and a weird accent. Almost like Ivan's, but she's not Russian. "Number one blader in Romania. And this is my bey Blood Vulpimancer LT160LWF." She take out her bey and puts it up to my face. I've never seen that bey before. It had a vampire on the face bolt. Anca had shaggy strawberry blond hair, red eyes, a small pearl-like earring on her left ear. She was wearing a black trench coat, black trousers, black top hat, white scarf, and black boots. Just then, Roderich and Elizabeta get there.
Elizabeta takes Lilly in her arms. Roderich turns to Anca. "Who are you!?" He asks. She rolls her eyes. "I have to introduce myself again? This blows." She says and sighs. "My name is Anca Stephan. I am the number one blader in Romania and my partner is Blood Vulpimancer LT160LWF, blah blah blah." Roderich glares at her. "It's rude to talk with something over your mouth." He says. She rolls her eyes, again. "I ain't taking the scarf off."
I walk over. "Let me battle you." I say. "Fine." She responds and disappears. She reappears on the opposite lift. I jump to the top of my lift. We ready our beys. "3! 2! 1! GO SHOOT!" We both exclaim and launch our beys. They collide in the center of the stadium. Tempus blows Vulpimancer away as the stadium starts moving. She hisses. "Did she just hiss?" I think. "Let's end this now." She says. "VULPIMANCER! SPECIAL MOVE! VAMPIRE'S RAGE!" Vulpimancer is surrounded by a bright red aura.
Vulpimancer starts spinning around Tempus at high speed. It starts draining my spin. "It's like a vampire sucking someone's blood!" I exclaim. Anca laughs. "TEMPUS!" I exclaim. Tempus is surrounded by a white aura. "SPECIAL MOVE! TIME DISTORTER BLAST!" Tempus powers up and lets out it's blast of energy. It causes an explosion.
I see Anca's scarf fly into the air. The smoke clears and both beys are still spinning strong. I look to Anca who is hiding her face. She looks up, revealing two small fangs on each side of her mouth. She hisses again. "She's a vampire..." I mumble to myself. "So you've figured me out?" She asks. "That means you've ticked me off. Time for you to die!" She laughs and disappears. "I'm dead." I think.
