The world is a mess, well, at least in the Null Zone. "Null Zone", that sounds pretty boring right? Well, it was, until The Eyes of Sin appeared. One minute, the Null Zone was living in peace, the next, BAM! It was as if the fabric of space and time ripped, and it was exactly in the middle of Colonial Square, the center of the planet. Then, they appeared. Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, Envy, Lust, and Pride. They minute they appeared, they vanished. From that point, the Null Zone was in the middle of an apocalypse. After about three months of hell, the owner of The Eye of Greed stepped up and claimed the world for himself. Many tried to oppose his rule, and every single one of them died. Ever since then, Beyblade has been a part of us; our lives literally depend on it.

Tsukuyomi Kisaragi was awoken by the Bell of Eternity. "Tch, I hate sunrise..." I said, as I climbed out of bed and put my clothes on. I look into the mirror after I get done. "Perfect day to become immortal" I say with a smile. I see myself in the mirror, dark eyes, black hair, white dress shirt, black jacket, black jeans, and white loafers. I grab my bey, Abyss Shinigami S130 BSF, and head downstairs.
Expecting a greeting, I remember. My parents were killed because they rebelled against Ragna. I make myself breakfast, toast, bacon, and orange juice. Once I finished my meal, I head to the park, AKA, The Reaper's Playground. "Wow", I say to myself. There were already people Beyblading. "Isn't it a little early to be gambling your life away kid?", I say to a kid that looks 10-ish. "I need it, I'll be dead in five hours if I don't get a head start!", he responds. "Suit yourself kid, but even though you battle, it doesn't mean that you'll win", I say to him as I walk away, leaving him to his demise.
I find an empty arena, and just as I was about to settle down, a teenager runs up to the arena, panting. "Battle me, now!", he exclaims. I agree, and ready my bey. "3-2-1 Go Shoot!!", we say in harmony. I see that he's running a Scythe Phoenix R145 RF. "Burning Blade!!", me opponent exclaims. "How futile, you use your special move right from the start, just because you're in a hurry." I say. "Don't underestimate me so hastily", I add. "Darkside Comet" I say. In less of a second, Shinigami tears apart my opponent's bey. "N-n-no it can't end like this", he says, panting frantically. Just as Shinigami comes back to my hand, my opponent "cracks" and starts falling apart. In what seems to be an instant, he completely disintegrates, and ceases to exist.

No one stopped battling around me. These kind of things happen so often, nobody is fazed by it anymore. "How sad" I say, "as if he really had a chance against me in the first place." I turn around, to see if there was anyone else looking for a battle. Before I could take my first step, a shadow rushed pass me and to the other side of the stadium. A teenager in a trench coat had appeared on the other side of the stadium.
"Battle me, now", the man said.
"You're not from around here, are you?", I asked.
"No, how could you tell?", he replied.
"Your accent and the fact that that machete's dangling from your waist" I say, as we both ready our beys. "3-2-1, GOOO SHOOT!" His bey moves to the middle of the stadium in the split second he lands. I circle him and see him smiling. I know that I might last, but it wont be enough to beat him at this rate.
"What's wrong, afraid you'll die?" he said. It's true, I'm honestly afraid for my life right now.
"I can't believe you're forcing my hand like this", I say in disbelief. "Go, Shinigami, Nether Grapple!", I yell. Shinigami rockets towards his bey.
"How pointless, you're only feeding my Omni Zhulong AD145WD" my opponent says. "Torch Dragon: Flaming Uproar!" he says. But it's too late. Feeding, i think to myself. I suddenly realize that it's a left spinning bey. I smile, knowing that I have this. Just as Shinigami gets Omni surrounded by shadows, I exclaim; "Lets go Shinigami, final push!", I exclaim, "Berserk Hammer!" Shinigami catches its second wind, and smashes Zhulong as he comes at me, on fire, out of the stadium. "I don't say this often, but that was a good battle", I say to him, "What's your name?"
"Xing, Xing Lee", he says, "I'd battle you again under different circumstances, but for now, lets just be friends".
"I'll take you up on that offer", I say, "And my name is Tsu". I suddenly realize, that the first friend I make, I'm also about to kill.
"Don't worry about me, I still have ten hours left", he says.
"Good, but you better get going if you want to live another night in hell"

[one week later]
"Alright, Xing, we're going to need at least one more person if we're going to go through with this", I say to Xing.
"Yes, but can we really trust one more?" Xing replied.
"We're going to have to, and soon too." I said, "We've spent a week stocking up on points, so it's now or never."
"Alright, but they need to be strong; someone with at least 36 hours to their name." Xing says.
We both set out from my apartment to town. We split, and head to different bey shops. After about a good block of walking I arrive at my destination. "Lucifer's Palace eh?" I say to myself. I enter the shop, and right from the start, I'm greeted by a room full of nothing.
"Who's there?" a voice said.
"I'm looking for the Time Thief" I say to the empty room. Suddenly, I hear a door creak ope behind the counter. Out comes a teen that looks severely depressed.
"Psh, I never really cared for that name," he says, "why are you here?".
"Because I want you to join my team. Scratch that, I need you on it" I answer.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not a fan of even the idea of being in a team" he replies.
"I don't have time for this!" I exclaim. He doesn't look like he cares, even in the slightest. "Regardless of your social life's problems are, I need you right now, we need you right now, hell, the whole 3756th dimension plane needs you right now!" I say to him.
"Really, because I think the world would do just fine without me" he says, in his normal tone.
"Fine, be that way", I pull out my bey and ready my launcher. "Battle me now! If you win, I'll leave you and this shop alone. If I win, you join my team." I say to him.
"Okay, but I'm only doing this because I don't want to die, just yet."
"3!2!1! GOO SHOOT!"
I've heard stories about his bey and strategy. His Alpha Oni A230 EWD is rumored to be unbeatable. "Attack, Shinigami!"
"Dodge it Oni"
His bey isn't moving regardless of what he said. This should be a free hit, I think to myself. Shinigami crashes into the bey, but nothing happened to it, or Shinigami. "What? How's that even possible? Neither of our beys clashed, but it was clearly a direct hit." I say in shock.
"Anything can exist in the present, but Oni can travel between the past, present, and future at impossible to see speeds." he says with a smirk.
"I see, so what I'm seeing now is its present self, but it can be either of the other two while I'm looking at it?"
"Precisely, you might as well give up now"
"Not a chance" I say with a stern look, "With death and dread as my power, Shinigami, Engulfing Void!" I exclaim. The arena is covered in black, and swirling. You can see the souls inside the eternal hole, fighting for freedom. But most importantly, Oni was getting pulled inside.
"What? But how!"
"Easy" I say, "because my void lasts until my bey stop spinning, the present and future arena are swallowed by the darkness. Since you simultaneous exist in both you're trapped in the void now and later. You would've stopped spinning by now, but my skill is only affecting you at 2/3rds the rate of a normal bey." I remark.
"I see" he says, "Then there's only one thing left to do". "Eternal Time Shift!" he says. In literally an instant, the stadium was back to normal, and my bey had completely stopped.
"W-w-what?" I say, absolutely stunned.
"Oni went back in time, and beat you before you could even think about using your move." he says. "But that was the best battle I've ever had in my entire life."
"So that's still a no then?"
"Yeah, I haven't changed my mind at all."
"Alright, but before I go, could you tell me your name?" I ask, "My name is Tsu".
"Sure, you're a worthy enough opponent, mine is Neku" he says with a smile. "But seriously though, get out of my shop."

I'm finally here, after two blocks. I arrive at the bey park on the other side of time. I immediately spot him, a guy on his laptop with blonde hair. I blurt, "Hey, Devil Tongue!" He looks up, and that's when I know it's him. "Found you," I say as I head over to him.
"Yes?" he said.
"I need you in the team with us" I say.
"What team, and what happens if I accept?" he asks.
"There's no time to explain right now, you're either with me or you're not."
"Ok, ok, I'll come along", he says with a smirk, "but on one condition."
"Alright, what is it?" I reply.
"Whatever's in it for me, I get it"
"Deal, now come with me."
We walk back to base, and neither of us say a single word to each other. For a known liar, he's surprisingly quite....
We arrive at our base, and Tsu's already waiting for us there. "Any luck with him?" I ask.
"No, and it's a shame too. He's even stronger than I am", he says in a depressing tone.
"Alright, so here's the plan. I will enter the building and launch my bey at the ground. While everyone is distracted by me, and the security swarms on me, you two will walk in, and find your way to the hallway leading to Ragna's room. On our way there we can expect traps. Be on your highest alert while walking through that corridor." I say to the group.
"Ok, being that there's only two of us, and the harsh reality is Xing might not have enough energy to join up with us in the battle between us, and Ragna. I'm sorry Xing, but you might even die; actually scratch that it's more likely that you will die than being stripped of energy. Now, even though Josh and I are really strong, Ragna has more of a chance to beat us than we do him. We absolutely cannot fight him blindly. If we do, we throw away everything we, no, even our past generation worked for. On top of that, we spell out our own death sentences. Josh, this is why we picked you to join." Tsu explains.
"Hmm interesting, but alright I'll help you guys out." he says. There it is, that smile again. With that smile, I wouldn't be surprised if he walked out and turned us over. "What's with that look Xing?" he asks, "It looks as if you don't trust me" he says with a snicker. I clench my teeth. "Disregarding your rudeness towards me, I will tell you all I know about Ragna, but more importantly, The Eye of Greed. Ragna's bey is Revizer Dragoon BD145 RDF, his special moves are Revolution Crash, where he slams into your bey at an angel where he's stealing your spin at full force, but also pushing you out with RDF. His second special move is Mammon Crave; he uses his bey's left spin power along with Greed's. The stealing of your bey's spin is intensified three-fold by this power. With this move, your bey will either stop spinning, or be crushed into pieces by the eye's power. But this power comes at a great cost. I'm sure you've all heard the stories. After Ragna committed mass genocide of the Null-Zone citizens with help of his eye, he was in a coma for two months. The power was too much for him to control, so he accidentally killed his wife and family in his thirst for power. Basically, one of us has to be the shield, and after he uses his move, the shield will be sacrificed, and he will be suffering from great pain and/or exhaustion for at least three minutes. You're brave and noble sacrifice will be known by everyone Tsu." Joshua says.
"What makes you think I'm going to willingly be the shield?!" Tsu exclaims. This argument goes on for hours on end.

I arrive at the grand hall. For something so "grand" it reeks of evil and death. There are a total of three guards stationed in the lobby. One beside the elevator, one behind me at the entrance to the hall, and one at the corridor entrance. I reach into my pocket and grab my bey. I think back to my childhood. Everything I've done has led up to this point in time. Will I survive or not, that all depends on my bey and I's power. Without a moment of hesitation I launch my bey at the floor. "CRASH!", everyone turns around and looks towards the sound, the guards advance towards me; but there, I see that my job was complete, Josh and Tsu were already making their way through the corridor. "What do you think you're doing?", said the guard.
"What I was born to do!", I scream!
"He's insane!", says the other guard.
"Go shoot!", all the guards say. Their beys are surrounding mine. There's no doubt in my mind that I have to make it quick, it's now or never!
"Go Zhulong, trap all within the area with your immortal undying flames of rage, Torch Dragon: Searing Jail!", I say with all my rage. Omni Zhulong releases flames in every direction. The lobby is now in an apocalyptic state. People are burning alive, everything is on fire, but the guards seem to have fireproof armour.
"You won't get away with this you monster!" the guard says. "I swear on my life that I will stop you!" he says.
"Hassan, stop it's pointless, look around!" the other guard says to who I assume is Hassan.
"This isn't like you David, at least, not the David I know..." Hassan says.
"Alright then I'm not going to die here, especially not without trying! Let's do this Rock Star!", David says.
Hassan smiles, "Here we go Ray Mobster!".
"Sync special move, Hell Fire Strobe Glare!" they say in harmony. Rock Star is moving at blinding speeds, setting up "lights" around the burning floor. Ray Mobster is surrounded in a vortex of flames, and shooting fire at my bey.
"You seemed to be good bladers, and for this I am truly sorry... Apocalyptic Dragon: Final Comet Rain!!!" I say, with melancholy in my voice, because I know what must happen upon this forbidden technique's use.
Omni Zhulong flies into the air and turns into a cloud of flame and pure destruction. It rains down on everything in the lobby with dimension shattering power, and planet crushing force. Everything is engulfed into my eternal flame, but unfortunately, I am no exception........

The stench, the horrible, horrible smell. I've smelt this before, but as a child. I'd recognize this horrid aroma from anywhere. The smell of burning human flesh.....
"My god, what the hell is that smell coming from?!!" Josh exclaimed.
"It looks like he did his job, and well too..." I say. Then I see it. A huge door, if you could call something as massive as this a door. It was similar to the entrance to The Forbidden City in China. I also the the two. "Guards" I sneer, "but I can't say I didn't expect them." We stop running.
"Halt, who are you two, and what is your business with the almighty ruler?", the guard on the left asks. Just as I was about to speak, Josh interrupts.
"We seek vengance for our fellow people. The many we have lost over the years by the hand of this man is a crime, only punishable by death. I ask you to join us, as not for just the sake of our justice, but the for the sake of everyone living in dimensional plane 3756!" Josh says.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but we're not too fond of Ragna either. But, the pay is unimaginable. Three hours added to our lives for each hour of duty, and 500,000 credits a mon..." he stops talking. The other guard had shoved the spear through his neck. He looks to his left and sees the other guard clutching the bloody spear. His eyes were odd to say the least. They were full of sorrow, but at the same time, thanks. The other guard took off her helmet. She had long back hair, and didn't look over 18.
"It was for his own good, he was already consumed by greed. I blame Ragna for this. Being around him for too long does that kind of stuff to you. I usually try to avoid violence, but after he finished, he was going to try and kill you anyways. My name is Mirai Kurenai, and I detest the ruler. He killed my dad, uncle, and cousins. I will go along with you, just as long as I can see him dead." she says with boldness.
"Good, my name is Tsu Kisaragi. Will you be letting us into his room?" I ask.
"Of course, lets get this started" she says. "Even if you were to kill us, you wouldn't know how to open this door," she said. She hit a panel on the door and the material around it disappeared. She entered in a key-code and the door started opening.
My first impression of the room was..... blood. It was everywhere, on the walls, floor, even the ceiling. His desk was dripping it. The chairs were practically soaked in blood, and the arena had even more blood. "What the hell is this?" I say. "Is this normal?!" I ask. But my answer was clear. Mirai was doubled over, vomiting her meals out on the floor.
"I was waiting for you guys to come." a cheerful voice said behind the huge chair. That voice, I've heard it before.
"N-n-no way, Neku is that you?" I say to the chair.
"Hahaha, right you are Tsu!" he responds. The chair turns around. I am almost one hundred percent sure that that's not the corpse of a human being. "What did you do to him!?" I ask. What was his belly was completely gone, ripped out, robbed of everything. It was just a bloody empty cavern. There were slashes all throughout the upper chest, you could barely make out any skin. The arms were just bloody flesh and exposed bone. His neck was half torn off, and he lower jay was beaten into a bloody pulp. "You monster! Did you do this?!" I yell.
"But of course! Who else would?" he replies. "He was playing God for far too long, I got bored of his rule, so I went to work. Don't worry to much though, I'm pretty sure he was dead when Oni ripped his neck apart, so he didn't feel absolutely everything."
"You're a monster!" Josh exclaims.
"Oh, but isn't this what you wanted? The reason you invited me to join your team Tsu?" he says to us.
"H-h"
"How did I know? I followed you to your HQ and eavesdropped. I thought I might as well surprise you guys with this!" he says. "And now, I'm one step closer to conquering this dimensional plane." He reaches into his pockets and pulls out two orbs. "Do you like them? The Eye of Wrath, and most recently, Greed."
