I woke up to a loud scream in the night. Just another blader who didn't get enough points in time. It's quite said really. It happens all the time here in the Death Zone. But me and my best friend Ray Libra 100HF has manage to stay on this sad excuse of a rock for a good 5 years now. The really sad part of catching this desease is that when you do get it you stay the way you looked when you first caught it. I sat to watch sun rise from my Tree house i was able to make. It's more as a hugh fort in a tree then a tree house.

"Hey you get down here and battle me!" said a little kid
"Not now i'm busy."
"Please i only have 6 hours left to get 30 points."
"Look here's some points, now move along."

The little boy ran off with the points i gave him. I didn't really fill like battling a little kid who had little time to stay alive. As i go into the Kitchen part of the fort i saw that i was out of food. With the many points i have collected i ca go buy some food. I setted of for the Market. As i walked a felt that i was being followed by someone. I stopped in my tracks to see what was up.

"You battle me now." a kid around my age told me.
"You look like you might put up a fight. Okay lets do this."

He pulled out a Twisted Byxis 230WD, and let out a big grin.

"3"
"2"
"1"
"Let is rip" we both said perfectly.

Our beys clashed as if our life depened on. Even though it did. Neither of our beys were giving up. We soon realized that the one that'll win this battle is the one that wants to win the most.

"Byxis special move!! Distruction Axle!!" he commanded Bxyis

His special move created a force field around his bey. At that point it seemed that he was going to when, but i thought. If you use more power then the force field itself you just might be able to break it. So i used my special move.

"Special move!!! UV Plain!" i command Libra

Libra circled around Byxis at top speed. It created a Plain with colorful rays shotting out of it. Byxis stopped in his tracks.

"Now it's time to end this Now special move! Sonic Druster Bomb!"

Libra charged at Byxis at full speed. When Libra made contact a hugh shock wave sprung from the battle, and a cloud of smoke filled the air. After the smoke cleared both beys were down for the count. I couldn't believe my eyes

As we went to retreive our beys, i notice that a scar ran through is right eye, and that eye was red and the other was green.

"What happened to you?" i asked
"Whats it to you?"
"Look you're a strong blader, and"
"And what?"
"I want you to join up with me to make a team"

He did answer me, but i could tell he would say yes. So after we got our beys i showned him where i lived. I could tell he was impressed with the work i put into the tree fort. Since i forgot to get some food wwe had to go a night with it, and it was horrible.

"So whats your name? Mine is William.but you can call me will." i asked him
"Soko Yogani"
"Well Soko glad to have you aboard"
"So when did you caught it?" asked Soko
"I was 14. I was going to visit my mother who was in the hospital. She was really sick. Well on my way their i felt a hugh pain in my chest. It felt like my heart was about to explode. I passed out. When i came to, i was at the hospital. The doctors said that i caught it and there was nothing they could do. But that's not what i really cared about. I asked them where was my mother. They told me that she died at 3:27pm the same time i caught the desease."
''I'm sorry"
"It's okay. I manage to live with it and i have ever since."

After that deep conversation Soko felt asleep, but I couldn't stop thinking about that horrible day. So i got out of bed without Soko waking up. I climbed up to the watch point of the fort. As i gazed on the night sky all i could hear were screams of pain as people passed. I wondered, how did it ever come to this. The Death Zone was like a prison, and we're the prisoners. There was no escape from the Death Zone, and that's what i fear most.
The morning sun was at the rise and me and Soko was ready to head out for food.

"You know that the closest Market is like 2 miles away from here." said Soko
"Well we better start walking if we're going to eat tonight."

if you add up all the points me and Soko have together it'll equal up to a good 25,000 points, and with that much we can by the store itself. As we get to the half way mark we had to stop for a break, but someone was waiting on us there.

Some bey hunters was blocking our way. They looked tough, but me and Soko could take them.

"200 points each if you wanna pass" said the leader of their group.
"How about you let us pass or you get a beat down." Soko told him
"Looks like we need to teach these guys a lesson or two. Come on boys let is rip!"

As we lauched are beys into battle a boy came from behind some bushes. He was pale, with black-ish, blue-ish hair, and to top it off he had goggles on top of his head. The leader of the group had a Ultimate Meteo L-Drago Assault 85XF.

"L-Drago special move! Meteor Cluster!"
"What he's using his special move now!" i said to Soko

When he called out his special move, all his followers started hitting him for no reason. Until I saw whst was going on. They were giving their power to him, so his special move would be stronger. After seeing that we knew what to do.

"I'll trap him and you be the distraction." I told Soko
"Okay lets do it."
"Special move! UV Plain!"

As i circled around the battle area, I gave Soko the signal.

"Okay now it's my turn! Special move Distruction Axle! Come get me if you can!"
"I will destroy your shouted, Now perform the special move L-Drago!"

Right before L-Drago ran into Byxis, a Storm Pegasus 85HF/S came into the battle.

As Storm Pegasus battled L-Drago me and Soko had to come up with another plan. But in my mind i wondered where did that Pegasus come from. Before we even had the time to think L-Drago was defeated. In all of my years i have never seen a strong beyblade get defeat so quickly.

"Jaden you win this one, but next time your toast." said the bey hunter's leader.

As our beys jumped back to us, we notice that Pegasus ranned of. So we ran after it. We followed Pegasus for about 30 minutes, until we came back to the tree fort. Pegasus jumped into the tree fort and then we heared so loud noice. After we got up there the boy i saw in the bushes was sitting on our couch.

"Your beys are pretty beaten up. Do you want me to analize them and fix them?" he asked.
"Who are you?" i asked him
"My name is Jaden and this is my partner in crime Storm Pegasus"
Why are you here?"
"Because i saw that you two were about to follow into your own trap."
"What are you talking about?"
"Your beys are way to beaten up. If you would have used the trap fully your Libra would have been deystroyed on impact."

As me and Soko walked up to the watch point of the fort. We had a convensation. When we returned we told Jaden that he can stay, but on one condition. He will be the team's Tech supporter. He agreed and started laughing.

"I hope you don't mind i bring 2 people with me." he asked.
"Okay the more the marrier." Soko told him.
"Azhar! Jason! Come up!"

When they came up to the fort Jaden introduced them. Azhar was a 12 year old boy who uses a Twisted Bull 85WD. He was tall for his age with brown eyes, and spikey black hair. While Jason also 12 but was at the average height. He used a Earth Eagle C145ES. He had dirty blonde hair in a buzz cut. He was acting distant from me and Soko.

"Nice to meet you two" Soko told them
"Hey and thanks for letting us stay with you." said Azhar.
"We are most grantful." said Jason.

Now that we had a working team, there was nothing we couldn't do.

So as we got use to each other I could see that there was going to be a problem. The tree fort was not big enough for all of use so I decided that we should find another place to stay. For hours we walked around the Death Zone, and nothing.

"Why couldn't we stay a the fort?" asked Azhar
"Because i made the fort to hold 3 people, not 5." I told him
"Well if we're looking for a place i know one just right."
"Where?"
"I'll show you."

We walked about 3 blocks till we got to the destination.It was a 2 story house. It looked kinda old but everything still worked. The back yard had a pool ths same shape and volume as a beystadium. It had a 6 foot fence around it.

"It's only 200 points a month." said Azhar
"Okay, but where kids. How are we going to buy a house?" Soko told him
"The Earth is different now Soko. Anyone can buy anything if they have enough points.

So we bought the house. When we got inside, it didn't look so bad. All we needed to do was get some stuff to put in the house and we were okay. But the one thing on everyone mind was the pool stadium in the back yard.

"I wanna go first!" said Azhar
"No me!" said Soko
"No way i'm going first!" said Jason
"You all are wrong it is I who will go first!" said Jaden
"No! What about we all go at once?" I asked

They all agreed with me and head out the back door, but when we got out there was saw something most horrifing. A gigantic dog stood in the way of that stadium and us. When the dog realized we where here he looked at us with his red beating eyes. He got up and ran tord us. He got faster and faster until he jumped, and landed on Jaden.

"Guys help he's, he's ,he's licking me?" jaden said in confusion.
"Look like he likes you jaden i told him.
"I'll call you Cerberus. How do you like that?" said Jaden.

The dog just made a happy sound and started licking Jaden again.

We got use to the new hideout very quickly. We finally got some food from the Market and was preparing dinner. Luck for us Soko father was a world class cheif and taught everything he knows to Soko. He even made special dog food for Cerberus. We found some common house old stuff like couches, tables, and beds that were being thrown away, so now the house looked pretty desent.

"I would like to make a toast. To Will. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't even be here." said Soko
"To will!" everyone said n haramony.

I was proud that the team made a toast in my honor. Even Cerberus licked my hand to shown his graditude. That night we ate like kings. After dinner I decided that I would clean the dishes. We had alot of dishes to wash so it took me 2 hours to finish. When i was finally done i went to the living room, where i found Cerberus sleeping on his back like a human. I didn't bother him. I just walked passed him to the door. I walked outside to lock the the gate door and while doing that i saw someone sitting on the sidewalk. He had brown hair and sunglasses on. He was reading a book, but then it started to rain.

"Hey you! Do you need a place to stay tonight?" i asked him.
"Me?" he asked.
"Yeah you. Come in before you catch a cold."

As we entered the gates i locked it after we passed through it. When we got into the house he pulled out the book he was reading. I wondered why he what he was reading.

"Thank you." he told me.
"Your welcome. I couldn't just leave you out there."
"I know it's wierd for me to ask, but may i join your team?"
"How you know i had a team?"
"Because I saw you and your team move in."

I sat there thinking of what to say until Jaden came downstairs. He overheard the convensation.

"Yeah you can join. Right Will?" Jaden asked.
"Yeah it okay with me." I told them.

So we sat there welcoming our newest member, knowing it could only get better.

So his name is CBP. He uses a Darl Leon 145WD, and he was 14. A gave him a room and i went to mine. For the first night since i can remember that i actually felt safe, and could easy drift to sleep. This night i had a pretty greet dream. It was of the team. How we all got along and we started winning alot of tournaments. But i woke up from a bang in the Kitchen. As i ran downstairs to check who is was, i checked the clock on the wall to see what time it ws. It was 6:00 in the mornig. I wondered who would be up at this time. When i got to the end of the stairs, I finally saw who it was. It was CBP cooking breakfast.

"Oh good morning Will. I was just about to go wake everyone up. I just got done cooking.' said CBP
"Oh good morning and thank you. It looks great." I told him
"Hey Will do you wanna battle?"
"Okay when you wanna battle?"
"Now."
"Okay"

After I helped CBP set the table we went into the backyard. We had to walk through really high grass to get there, but that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was how dirty the stadium was. Like years of dirt cluttered on the walls. But before we could have a battle me and CBP found a lawn mower and cleaning supplies, and got to work. Bout time we got done everyone hve woked up and ate breakfast.
While i was mowwing the lawn, I found many bey parts in the grass. there were alot of Metal Wheels, Clear Wheels, and even Launchers. After we got done, we got Jaden to check out the parts to see if he cn repair them.

"Some of these parts are really rare. So i'll see what i can do, but i'm going to need a like a base to do it. And the equitment is not cheap." Jaden told me.
"Don't we now have over 200,000 points since we combind together nd made a team?" asked Azhar.
"Yeah but if we buy the stuff it'll leave use with over 50,000 points, and that's not enough to support this team."
"Well it looks like we're going to have to battle more, because we really need this equintment. Just think how powerful our beys can get with these parts" i added.
"But we need over 100 points to stay alive, and we still need stuff for the house." said Jaden.
"It's okay we cn handle this. We just need to get those parts fixed."
"Okay Will."

So me, Jaden, and CBP headed out to the bey shop which was about a block away. After we bought the right stuff and loaded it up on the wagon, we headed back. But while we were walking back, the bey hunters from before came back and with more troops. They all launched their beys at once.

"You guys have some nice stuff right there. Mind if i take it." said the leader.
"How about you get out of our way." said CBP
"How about we battle for it?" asked the leader
"Okay lets do this. Me against all of you."
"Oaky that's a bet."
"CBP you don't have enough power to take them. Let me help you." I asked him.
"No i got this Will. Just leave it to me."

So as we went to the closest bey park all the Bey hunters and CBP were ready for battle and i could tell this was going to be bad.

"3"
"2"
"1"
"Let It Rip!"

As the bey hunters tried to protect their leader, CBP just rammed through them with no mercy. Right when the battle started CBP have already token down half of the bey hunters, but there were still alot to get pass.

"Alright boys special move. Meteor Cluster!" said the leader
"Oh no you don't! Special move!!! Dark Shadow Abyss!" said CBP

Leone started glowing black and the darkness spreaded through the stadium. No one except CBP'S bey was able to move. Leone took down every bey hunter's bey excpet the leaders. When he was done he blasted is way to L-Drago. He put some powerful hits on L-Drago, but he was taking them.

"What L-Drago should have fallen over by now." said CBP
"Don't you get it. With every strong blow you send to L-Drago, you just feeding him power. "Now i have more then enough to finish my special move, so go now L-Drago!" said the leader.

L-Drago went full speed tords Leone. When he made contact it blasted leone to the edge of the stadium. As L-Drago tried his hardest to make Leone get a stadium out, he just couldn't do it. But i saw something was happening to CBP. A black aura started forming around his body. As if some evil force was taking over him. I also saw that the bey points on his arm was getting close to going under 100.

"So you think that L-Drago of yours can stop the king of beast uh? Well your wrong. I'll show you the power of the lion!! Dark move!!! Lion Pounce Strike!" said CBP in an evil voice.
"What a dark move? Impossible!" said the leader.
"Oh it's possible and i'm about to show you!"

I was afriad to here CBP call out his dark move, but i was even afraid when i saw what it does.

As CBP was getting filled with more evil power, his points was down to 105. He wouldn't even last 3 minutes with that much points, so i ran to him and grabbed his wrist so me and his points would get combind. But when i did that the evil power trried to take over me. It was painful trying to keep it from taking over. Death would have been much easier then this.

"Don't fight it Will. Let it in, embrace it." said CBP
"No!! This is not you CBP. Don't let it take over you. Your stronger then this." I told him.

Just as i thought it was over I felt something from CBP. Something Light. As if everything dark inside him was disappearing. Then Leone started glowing. Leone have transformed into Sun Fury Leone. It's features looks much better then dark lion.

"What happened to Leone?" asked CBP
"The darkness within it is now gone." I told him.
"Okay. But all that battling the dark power has made me hungry. Why don't we go home and make lunch?"
"Let's go!"

When we got home Jaden took a look at Leone. We were suprised to see that CBP do a dark move, but we were even more suprised that he was able to over come it. After lunch and refilling our point moiter Jaden called us to the basement which is now our lab.

"Hey guys i'm done with fixing and polishing the parts ya found in the yard, and i analized Sun Fury Leone. It seems that every part on Leone was improved to a more advanced bey." said Jaden
"So your saying my bey evovled?" asked CBP
"I'm not saying, i'm telling you that it did, and with all that dark energy out of it, it changed into a whole new bey."

In the back ground Jaden's printer went off and it was a report of all of our beys.

"Cerberus may you be a good dog and go get those papers for me?" asked Jaden.
"Jaden that dog is not really going to go get those paper. He's a dog!" said Azhar.
"Don't be to sure Azhar. This morning when i woke up i heard a flushing sound from the bathroom and when the door opened, Cerberus came out. It was freaky." said Jason.

So we all looked at Cerberus to see what he would do. He got up walked to the printer grabed the papers with his teeth without getting slobber on it, and gave it to Jaden. We were confused on how he was able to understand what Jaden said, but that was going to stay a mystery.

"So guys the real reason i told ya to came down here is to show ya your new and improved beys." said Jaden

On a little tray behind us were our new beys. It was: Atomic Libra, Dagger Byxis, Steel Eagle, Gapped Bull, and my Star Light Pegasus. All of our beys were completely different now, and we could feel the power coming out of them.

"Awesome now we got new beys, so lets go practice shall we." I said in happiness.

When we got our new beys we all went out to the backyard for some practice. But while we were practicing Jason saw something up in the trees. I only got a glibs of what was up there. When i looked back a Jason he was walking to the front gate. I ran to see what was up.

"Yo Jason where you going?" i asked him
"Just getting some fresh air." he answered
"How you going to get fresh air if your already outside?"
"This air isn't that fresh you know."
"No i don't know. Now tell me what are you doing?"

I stood there for minutes waiting on him to answer, but he didn't.

"I know what you saw in the trees, and i know what you were thinking. Your right, and i'll stay up with you." I told him
"You found out too?" he said.
"Yeah, but the only way i found out was when a little boy asked me for parts. That we had some pretty nice parts. I told him no, and to ran off."
"So you think we're going to get robbed tonight?"
"No. I know we're going to get robbed tonight."

As we finished our talk we walked back to the backyard. We told everyone what was going on tonight and that two of us will have to be on watch for 2 hours then we'll switch. Lucky for us, when we were getting stuff for the house, Jaden made a specail security system around the house and yard. So we were ready for anything. I voted that i'll be on duty all night since i'm the most powerful member of the group. So now it was time to wait.
It's time to watch and we are ready for anything that comes at us. The fisrt one to watch with me is Soko. Since me and him are perfect partners, we knew it was going to be a piece of cake.

"Hey Will do you here that?" asked Soko
"Yeah it's coming from the house." i said
"Go check it out."
"Okay."

When i got into the house i saw a shadow moving from the kitchen. So i walked into there and pulled out my bey.

"I have a bey and i will hurt you!" i told the person in the kitchen.
"Put your bey down it's just me." said Jason
"Dude you almost scared me."
"Will i did scare you."
"No you didn't."
"Yes i did."
"Will we have some vistors!" shouted Soko

Now it's time to see who's going to have those parts tonight.

As three shadows walked up to the gate of the house me, Soko, and Jason wacth to see what they'll do. Two of the shadows were boys and one was a girl. They all wore a tench coat and a mask.

"Is this the house of the great William?" asked the girl, who seemed to be the leader.
"Yeah. who's asking?" i told her.
"Your worst nightmare."

They leaped over the gate and into the yard. We all pulled out our beys ready for the fight. When we saw that the tow little boys steped back we knew something big was going to happen.

"So William will you step up to me?" she asked
"I'll battle you or anyone you stands in my way?" i told here.
"Then put you bey where your mouth is."
"Will no don't battle her. Thats exactly what she wants. I'll battle her." Soko told me.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I got this."

When the girl pulled out a her bey we couldn't believe our own 2 eyes. It was a Hades Striker BD145CS. So we started having second thoughts about letting Soko go first. All we knew was that this is a battle Soko will never forget.

''3"
''2"
''1"
"Let It Rip!" the both said in harmony.

As both beys spun of their launchers they sunt out a big shock wave that woked up eveyone in the city. Right at the beging of the battle Striker did some hard hits on after the other. Sparks were shting of as high as the sky. It looked like fireworks. As the whole city gather around the house, they could see that the yard was already deystroyed from all of Strikers blows, but Byxis was still going strong.

"Byxis special move! Destruction Axle!" said Soko
"We're using our special moves now uh? Well two can play that game, special move! Underground Strike!" said the girl.
"Ayame are you sure about using your special move now?" asked the oldest boy.
"Yes Nathan. So go now Striker!" said Ayame

Everyone watched Soko use his special move, but when they turned to she Ayame's Striker was gone.

"Where is it?" asked Soko
"Right under you feet." said Ayame.
"What?"

As we felt a big rumble from inside the ground, Byxis try to move, but it was to late. Striker have already launched out of the ground, hit Byxis, and returned back to do it again. One of the times she did it, Byxis flew into one of our windows. After a hour of this both beys were still spinning.But i could se it in his eyes that something horrible was going to happen.

"Will when this battle is over. Take my bey and go to Hoski Villiage." he said to me.
"What are you saying Soko." i asked
'I'm saying that it's over for me. But you will. I join up with you because i know you have what it takes to take down the Death Zone. And with that i say good bye."
"No Soko it can't end like this."
"Find a boy name Kai. Tell him what happened and give it to him. Remember Will."
"I'm tired of all of this. Special move! Hell Flame Burst!" Ayame commanded.
"Special move! Byxis Final Dance!" said Soko

When the two beys made contact a shockwave of smoke filled the air. No one could see anything. After the smoke cleard the three kids were gone, but Soko was laying on the ground. When I went to check on him I saw that his points were down to 0. That tore me apart. Soko was the first friend I got in the Death Zone, and now he's the first to leave. So i grabed his bey. As I left his body there and let the police get him, there was only two thing on my mine. To take down them kids no matter what it takes, and to go to Hoski Villiage. And nohing was going to stop me from doing those to things.

As I was packing my stuff everyone just kept looking at me like i was crazy.

"Will you just can't leave just because Soko is gone." said Azhar.
"What are ya talking about? Ya are coming too." I told them.
"What! Where are we going?" asked Jason
"We're going to Hoski Villiage. Soko told me to go there, and not even the end of the world will stop me from going there." I said to Jason.
"Well if it's for Soko i will gladly follow you on this supper dangrous journey." said Jason.
"Count me in." said Azhar.
"For Soko." said Jaden
"I'm in." said CBP.
"Roof!" barked Cerberus.

As we gather our things, i walked into Soko room. I found a sheet folded up on his bed. I opened it up to see what it said.

"Dear Will, Since your reading this it must have really happened, and i'm sorry i couldn't tell you this before i left. But in the town a told you to go is a cave. There will be traps in that cave, but you and the others must still travle into it no matter what. At the end of the cave you will see a post. Go into the cave at night time when the full moon is in the middle of the sky. You will know what to do. Good luck on your hard journey there. And i wish you the best with you and there others life my friend. And here is where i say good bye.
Signed,
Soko Yogani"

After reading this note i couldn't help but cry. But I wasn't going to let Soko die in vain. After everyone got there gear and everything, we took the parts out of the safe and loaded it into Jadens bag, and setted of.

"Wait we don't have enough for plane tickets, so how are we gettiong there?" asked CBP
"Easy. We're walking through the Lion's Den." I told them.
"What? If we go throw that desert, we'll die too." said CBP.
"We'll i heard that they have a safe route." said Jaden.
"Guys I should have told you this before." I told them thinking of my pass.
"What Will?" asked everyone.
"When i was little my dad would take me to his home town. A villiage in the Lions Den. Now I lived in the Lions Den for 6 years. I know it well, so will you come with me?" I asked.

They all just nodded their heads, and we started walking. We all knew that this journey will be hard, but if it's for Soko, we will go to the sun and back for him.

When we got to the in of the city, we know it was to late to turn back now. Since we lived close to the edge of the city, and at the end of the city limits is the Lions Den, we had a advantage of the time and sunlight. We entered the desert with caution, knowing anything can happen here. We been walking for hours, and it seemed that no matter how far we walked, everything still looked the same we when we left.

"Why is it so hot!" said CBP.
"Because we're walking in the desert." answered Jason.
"I know, but it's so hot."
"Well you should have worn some shorts."

As the sun started going down and the tempresure was going down, we decided to stop for the night. As we setted up camp and gathered fire wood i heard something i haven't heard for a long time. It was a roar from a lion. I knew that sound quite well.

"Will don't scream but there's a lion behind you." said Azhar.
"I know." i answered.
"Aren't you scared?"
"No, because that's Karuo."
"Who's Karuo?"
"My Granpa's pet lion. He found him as a cub. Don't be scare. He's just a little kitty."

As me and Azhar brought back some fire wood, everyone was frighten by Karuo. As I explained what was happening everyone comed down. When Karuo notice that Cerberus was travling with us, him and Cerberus were enemies.

"Wait if you grandpa's pet cat is here then he is not that far away." said Jaden
"My grandpa died years ago and we released Karuo to the wild, but he always stayed by the hut my grandpa lived in. So that must not be far. Karuo can you show us the way to the hut?" I asked him.

He just put me on his back and started walking. When we got to the hut, it looked abanded for 100's of years, when it was only 20 years. We explored the huge hut to see if there's any food, water, or anything that can help us. When i found my grandpa's room i looked around to find something that could help us. After i found nothing and sat on his bed, i felt something vibrating under the bed. When i looked under there i found a wierd Ipad looking thing. It had a message on it.

"Dear Will, I know you will come back here and find Karuo, but i'll have to make this quick. Do you remember the bey i used? Grand Leone? Well while I was practicing beyblade with Leone, a strom came. I didn't leave because i thought it was nothing. Well a yellowish Orange striked Leone and from the creater Karuo cam out as a baby. I know it sounds weird but Karuo is not a lion, he's a bey, and i want you to have him. Find a way to turn him back into a bey. Your the only that can do this Will. You alone."

As the message shuted off, I wonder what he have told me was really true, but i never know my grandpa to lie. So aa I told everyone what happened, we all just sat down to processe it. And we came up with a answer. To find out what's going on and fast.

As we looked through the hut more, we couldn't find and clue on what to do. So we called it a night, hopefully we might find a clue in the mornning. As i was asleep i heard a bull, but when i looked out the window there was nothing out there, but Karuo. I heard it again, but this time i heard a boy laughing with it.

"So i see you have forgoten the Pride of the Wild uh Willy Boy?" said the mysterious boy.

I haven't heard someone talk about the Pride of the Wild in years. But to hear it again means that someone must know of my grandps and my father.

"So i see you forgot about me too? Well the Spirits to me you would come back, but i never knew you'll come back this quickly. Come out side, so we can have a decent reunion." said the boy.

As i got up from my grandpa's bed and walked out of the hut, Karuo woke up and came to me, as if he was a common household cat.

"Okay i'm outside. So who are you, and why you speak of the Pride of the Wild?" I asked him.
"Because, I'm your bestfriend, and we studied the Pride of the Wild together." he answered.
"Wait, it can't be, Marcus?"
"Well who did you expect? The President?"

As we got closer, I saw that Marcus was enfected with the deases. As we caught up with each other he shown me his bey. Burn Bull 90EWD. We talked for hours on end, about when we got in trouble because we use to scare off the animals our father's was hunting, and how we'll ride the lion's backs for fun. We were crazy, but that was before the deases sprung over the earth and chaos toke over.

"So where is the tribe members? I can't wait to see them again." i asked him.
"Your looking at the whole tribe." Narcus replied.
"Wait what about lilly, Huro, KT and the gang? What happened to them?"
"When the deases hit the tribe, we didn't have enough points to keep everyone okay, so the villiage went into choas and it was survival of the fitest. So many of the tribal members turned on each other and battle each other to see who lives or die. I was one of the lucky ones who didn't spend their points, but saved them for a moment like this. Soon almost everyone were gone, until me and lilly were the last ones. But when it came down to who will live between us, she went mad and tried to take all the points for herself, but i did what i had to do." he said with a sad attitdue.
"Well your safe nnow and you can join us. We have lots of points. Enough to last us a good 3 years. So what you say?"
"Well by the way my point meter looks, I'll be dead in a few days, so i don't have much of a choice do i?

As way started back talking about the good old days, I taught was bothering me in my head. What was going to happen next?

So after everyone woke up and ate breakfast, we walked outside to where the stadium was. I remembered when i was a little kid. Me and Marcus use to battle in it. Now since we're older and everyone we knew is gone, we couldn't even battle.

"Okay so the way i see it. Everything about this is like a puzzle. We have the hut and Karuo, so lets say we have 2 pieces of the puzzle." said Jaden.
"But where do we find the other pieces of the puzzle?" asked Marcus.
"We'll that's what we want you and Will to find out." he replied.
"That makes since." I added.
"Can someone place tell me whats going on? PLEASE!!!!!!!" said Marcus.
"It's like this. Me and you grew up in this desert, and we know it up and down. So it'll be better if we go find some clues on whats going on." I told him
"Okay. Then let's get to it."

As me and Marcus got everything ready and setted off. I wonder where to look first.

"I think we should start off at tge Villiage." said Marcus.
"Why there?" I asked.
"Because if anyone have left a clue or something. they'll leave it there."

As we walked to the villiage it started to get dark. So we had to camp in a hut there. Lucky for us, we bought 20 walkie talkies before we left. Jaden thought we needed to make sure we had enough of everything.

"You guys read me?" asked jaden through the walkie talkie.
"Loud and clear home Base." I replied.
"Very funny Will. Are you guys alright?"
"Yeah we just settled into a hut for the night."
"Okay call us if something happen, over and out."

As me and Jaden got offline, Marcus walked in. We got ready to sleep, but before we could we heard a noice. It was coming from one of the other huts. When we peeked our heads throught the window, one of the huts had a light on. So we went to investigate. Who we saw in the hut completely scared us to death.

As we creeped into the hut, we saw lilly. She had a bunch of Points in her meter, but we couldn't understand what was going on.

"Lilly? Is that you?" I asked her.
"Willy?" she said.
"Lilly I thought you were..."
"Dead? I was almost, till some man named the Dark Keeper came and rescued me. After Marcus left me for dead."
"I did not leave you for dead. You went crazy and tried to steal the points for yourself." screamed Marcus.

As them two were going at it, I had a vision. I was on top of a building during a Lightning storm. I was battling a man who had a very dark force from him. He had red eyes and used a bey that was never seen before, but my bey was even weirder. It wasn't Libra. The vision ended when a strike of lightning hit the stadium and a evil laugh was shouted out. I passed out after the vision, and that made them two stop arguing. They toke me back to the hut, after gathering everything up. I was half up and have sleep. The last thing I heard was Jaden telling everyon that I had a really bad fever, and I won't be better for a while. After that i blacked out.

I was completely shocked to see Will passed out, but i was even more shocked about the girl who came back with them. I seen her before back in the city. She worked with the Dark Keeper.

"Why are you here?" I told her.
"I'm sorry but are you speaking to me?" she replied.
"Yeah i'm talking to you. Why are you here Dark Follower?"
"I'm not a Dark Follower."
"Oh your not uh. Then why i saw you in the city taking kids points until there were no more?"
"I don't know what your talking about."
"Jaden this is Lilly. Me and Will are her friends. If she say she isn't a Dark Follower then i believe her." said Marcus.
"Well she can say what ever she wants but I know what I saw you do to those kids. So don't try anything, or you find yourself on a one way trip to.."
"It's okay Jaden." said Azhar.

As I went to the back to tend to the food i was preparing Lilly walked back there too. As I put some dog food in Cerberus's bowl and some wired cat food i found in the back in Karuo's bowl. She sat down and pulled out her bey. It was a Poison Virgo. It was really out of shape.

"Jaden I know all the things you saw me do was horrible, and i thought about them everyday, but i'm not a Dark Follower anymore. Can you find it to forgive me?" she asked.
"I will allow you to stay and i'll fix your Virgo, but i will never forget what you did." I replied.
"What did I do?"
"Do you remember the boy who had a Storm Pegasus. He stood up for the kids you beaten. He was my older brother. He toke care of me since our parents deied, but you toke him away from me. The last person in the world i had left was gone. Now that i have a new family i won't let you take them away, so i'll keep a watch on your. If you try anything I will finsh you."

After saying that i fixed all the setted the table and fixed the plates. As I toke Virgo to go fix it, Azhar asked me whats up, but i didn't answer.

"Yo Jaden what's up?" asked Azhar and Jason.
"Nothing guys. Why?" I answered back.
"Don't try to pull that "Nothing is wrong" act. We know you Jaden, now what's wrong."
"It happened many years ago. Before any of us have met. In the Downtown part of the city was where i lived. Me and my brother lived in a old apartment complex. My brother name was Micheal. Micheal was a great blader. He taught me everyting i know. He's the one wh gave my Pegasus. We would go help kids in need and bring them back to the apartments. We were doing great, almost half of the apartments were filled with kids. But one day while me and Micheal were scouting around for more bladers, she was there." I told them
"Who was there?"
"Lilly. She was beating one blader after another taking all of their points with no mercy. Micheal barged in and tod her to stop, but she continued to take other bladers points. Then he pulled out Pegasus, and that's when the battle started. She pulled out this Virgo. Before we knew it they have already started the battle. It was scary to watch. Virgo started to inject her poison into Pegasus, but that wasn't enough to stop pegasus. The battle went on for hours on end and both beys were still spinning. Until they used their special moves. Lilly's special move made Virgo spin at top speed ad making crash of the walls, so you never knew where she was coming from. And Pegasus special move made Pegasus Run around the stadium in speeds that couldn't be possible. When the two beys final clashed it sunt out a huge shockwave and smoke filled the air. After it cleared they were still spinning strongly."
"What I didn't know Pegasus had that much power with it." said Jason.
"Go Libra.... kick some bey!" said Will, who was still passed out from the fever.
"So what else happened?" asked Azhar.

I put Virgo into the analization chamber and turned back to them.

"They keep on crashing into each outher, until..." I told them
"Until what?" said Jason
"Until Lilly command Virgo to cut through all the metal beams of the stadium we were in. It had a parvillian over it. Virgo went flying out of the stadium and crushing all of the beams and quickly going into her hands. She ran from the battle knowing what would happen next. As the parvillian feel down, my brother got Pegasus and told me to ran back home. So i ran as fast as i could. When i got home i still didn't see Micheal, until i saw Pegasus run to me. He jumped into my hands and then i knew what have happened. So that's what's wrong me." I told them.

They didn't say nothing but I could tell they wanted to battle Lilly for me. But I didn't want them to fight a battle for me. When time comes Pegasus and Virgo will once again clash and, when that time comes i'll be ready.

"What happened? Where am I?" What's going on!" I screamed when i woke up.
"Jaden it's okay. you just fell asleep while fixing Virgo. Looks like finished it." said Lilly.
"Oh yeah she's done."
"I made breakfas. Want some?"
"Um alright."

As I walk into the kitchen I see that there's nothing cooked. As I turn around I see Lilly run other the door. I ran after her to she what she was up to. We ran for at least 2 miles till she stopped. We ended up at an old stadium.

"Why did your bring me to this place?" I asked her.
"I heard you talking to Azhar ad Jason last night, and I feel like we should battle."
"So you think that if we battle i'll just forgive yo for what you did? If so your wrong. I will crush you!"
"Then let's see what you got."
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Let It Rip!!!"

As Pegasus and Virgo entered the stadium, we alredy knew this was a death battle.

"Don't think this is the same Pegasus from before. He has evolved into Star Light Pegasus and he is ready for revenge." I said to Lilly.
"I won't matter what bey you use i'll win this!" she answered.

As both beys clashed sparks went everywhere. Either of us could when now.

Both beys keep on clashing but something started to happen to pegasus. He was starting to spin in a wired way. As if he was injected with poison.

"Pegasus what's wrong, keep spinning." I told pegasus.
"It doesn't matter what you do now. Virgo hs alreadt injected her deadly poison into Pegasus, and no it's taking effect."she told me
"What!"

As I started to see little peices of Pegasus fall, I couldn't think of anything. All I could do is stand there and watch Pegasus get deystroyed.

"Jaden pick your head up!" said a mysterious voice.

It cam from nowhere, but i knew who i was. It was my brother Micheal. Then his spirit jumped from out of Pegasus and next to me.

"Jaden no atter how tigt te spot is. Hold yor head up and kepp going. Listen to th words i speak brother." said the spirit of Micheal.
"Brother I hear you, but how can I win. I'm to weak, i don't deserve to use Pegasus. I answered him.
"There you go dauting yourself like always. The reason Pegasus ran to you is because, Your the only on that is now able to use it. I knew that it was growing farther from me and cloaser to you. Soget up and beat her!"
"I will brother with the power Pegasus and my blader spirit theres nothing I can't do! Ah!!!!! Crystal move, Pegasus Star Attack Streader!"

As we watched Pegasus fly into the air, Micheal told me something.

"Jaden let go of the pass, because all that dosen't matter anymore. Just let go." said Micheal.
"But she broke ourfamily. She toke you away from me." I told him.
"I've always been with you. I've been in here." Micheal said, while pointing at my heart.
"Goodbye brother."
"Goodbye Jaden, remember i'm always with you in your heart"

As Micheal spirit left, I was bad a Lilly anymore. I just let go of the past, and whe i did Pegasus stated glowing even more and flew pss it's limits.

"What how are you going so high?" asked Lilly.
"I let go of the pass, so i forgive you Lilly. But now it's time for me and Pegasus to fly into the future, so Pegasus go now!" I told her.

As Pegasus returned back to the stadium a shockwave covered it. Then it started to catch on fire.

"Pegasus time to sore to our future!" I told Pegasus
"No!" said Lilly.

When Pegasus hit Virgo, it tried to with stand Pegasus's power. Sparks went eveywhere, bu we knew that Virgo couldn't keep this up, but Pegasus in the other hand had enough power to last for days.

"Virgo you can do this! Just a little more!" screamed Lilly.
"Pegasus you can do this, do it for me buddy!" I screamed.

Pegasus started to spinning faaster and faster. It was to much for Virgo to take,and while they were at it, we heard Virgo's Track crack.

"No! Virgo!" screamed Lilly.

After Virgo's track was broken, a cloud of smoke flew from the stadium. After the smoke cleared Virgo stopped sinning, and Pegasus was nowhere to be seen..

"Look likes it's a tie." said Lilly.
"I wouldn't say that just yet." I told her.

As Pegasus flew from the skys and the stadium I walked over to Lilly.

"I forgive you." I said with a smile.
"Thanks." she answered,

"What where am i? i asked.

After waking up, I quickly walked around to see where I am. I wasn't in the hut anymore. It looked like i was in a world where the spirits of beyblades romed freely. I walked around some more to get a better veiw of this strange world, until a great bat came towards me. I couldn't run, knowing that the huge bat will catch me. As he landed, I that he was desinged like Libra.

"Hello William. Finally you have came. I waited ages for you to come nd now your here." said the strang bat.
"Who are you?" I asked
"Funny. I been your partner mny years, and still don't reconize me."

As I thought about it I reached into my pockests. Libra wasn't in either of them.

"Libra?" I asked.
"Bout time William. I was tired of waiting for you to know me." Libra said.
"Is this a dream?"
"More of a vision."
"Then where am I?"
"Your in my home. The Great world of BeyMania."

"So this is your home uh? Well looks way better then the Death Zone." I told Libra as we walked a colorful stone path.
"This is the light part of Beymania. This is where all of the light soul beys come." said Libra.
"So where do all the dark soul beys go?"
"To the Dark Iblis below."

As i looked down dark purple fire and monsters roaming the land. It was horrible to see that many beys used for evil, and it looks as if more and more were being added. So as we walked father downthe path I here a voice of someone who i thought i'll never be able to see again.

"Long time no see Will. And you just can't see hey." said Soko
"No it can't be. But your dead. No way." I said with a meteor shower of tears rolling down my eyes.
"It me buddy. In my spirit form, and i brought someone with me."
"Who?"

As i looked around to see who it was, a woman hand was on my sholder.

"Mommy's here sweet heart, and i'll make all your pains go far far away." said my mother.
"Mother?" I said falling into her arms.
"Shush William. Remember what i taught you? No matter how much you wanna cry, just stand tall and grow strong."
"Mother!" I cried in her arms.

After that soft moment that's when we got to business.

"So if you two are dead, and Libra's a spirit that means....." I said in confusion.
"Yes Will you are here by legaly dead." said Soko.
"I can't be dead. How did I die?"
"Honey it's a long story." said my mother.

"It's like this sweet heart. Do you remember why i died?" asked my mother.
"I think about it every day. It's because of a certain function in your body that no oter person on the Earth has." I replied.
"Well that's not fully true. See the function that i had was a type of antideases that'll fight of the big dease known as QH70. Well as I aged the antideases started wearing off, cause my body to shut down. When you were born the antideases passed down to you, but something amazing happened. As it was in your blood it turn your blood into the most cleanest blood on Earth."
"But I caught the deases. Shouldn't I have it?"
"Well you do, but you don't need points to stay alive. Just look at your arm."

As I took a look at my wrist. I saw something amazing. My points were still at 350BP.

"How is this possible?" I asked.
"I know. Your very lucky Will." said Soko.
"Wait but this don't explain why i'm dead?"
"It's like this Will. Due to your gift there had to be a side effect. And that side effect is death."
"I still don't follow."
"There's moments when the QH70 tries to take over, but the antistuff stops it. Whenthat happens you legally die for a while."

As Soko kept talking i felt myself dissapring.

"What's happening?" I asked.
"You comeing back to life my son. I'll see you soon." said my mother.

As i completely dissapread I wake up to everyone around me saying "Will come back to us.

"Buddy what happened?" asked Jaden.
"I was Legally dead." I replied.
"I know that but how?"
"It's a long story." I said with a smile.

As me and Jaden walked, he told me aboutthe amazing battle him and Lilly had.

"So while I was laying dead flat face, you and Lilly were having an epic battle?" I asked, trying to make a joke.
"Yeah you can put it look ." He answered.
"So ya found anything that'll help us?"
"So far no."
"I been dead for like three days. How can't yahave found a clue yet?"

Right after I finishing that sentence I tripped of something shiny. As I picked it up I notice somthing really weird about it. It was a orange looking daimond.

"Dude I think I just found a clue." I told Jaden, Who kept walking while i fell.
"I doubt that it's a cue Will. You just got lucky and found an Orange Stone. Now come on we need to look for real clues." said Jaden.

As I put it in my pocket next to Libra it started to shake all around. When i took it out of my pocket, it was glowing and so were Libra. They started to heat up, so i had to drop them both. The sky turn orange with yellow lightning flashes everywhere. Then the stone flew into the air, and so went Libra. After geting half way in te sky a lightning bolt it them, and a flash felled the entire sky. After it all cleared, the rest of the gang came running to us.

"Are you okay?" ased Azhar.
"Yeah something weird happened. As useral." said Jaden.

As we looked around, we couldn't see where Libra went. Until a fying shadow came clashing into the Earth. After it cleared out a shadowy firgure walked out from the smoke. He looked just like Jason.

"Who are you?" asked Jason
"I am Nosaj, and I belive you Jason?" Replied Nosaj
"Who ever you are it's time for yo to go!"
"Lets."

As they got to the stadium, we all were thinking. Whats going on?

"Who are you really?" asked Jason
"I told you. I am Nosaj. I am basiclly your evil twin. I was formed from the darkness of your heart, and soon the whole team will come."said Nosaj.
"What ever you do i'll top you."
"Is that so? Well show me what you got Jason."

As they pulled out their beys we all notice something. Nosaj owned a Eagle Earth CS125EWD. Not only Nosaj is the oppisit of Jason, but Earth Eagle as well.

"3"
"2"
"1"
"Let It Rip!" They said in harmony.

As both beys clashed in the stadium, both Jason and Nosaj was giving there all. Eagle Earth preformed oppisit of Earth Eagle. Eagle was preforming gracefully, while Earth was going on a rampage.

"Get ready to fell my true power." said Nosaj.
"What? That's my line!" said Jason.
"What ever. Go Earth!"

As Jason prepared to use his special move, Eart came clashing into Eagle with ovr powering strength.

"What? No one is able to hit Eagle while he is preforming Gacefully. How are you able to do it?" asked Jason.
"It's pretty obvius." said Nosaj.

As Earth slammed more into Eagle, all we could do is watch. Unble to help our friend in need. But Azhar couldn't hold it anymore. He just burst with anger.

"Stop!" screamed Azhar, launching his bey.
"No Azhar!" I screamed to him, but Jaden held me rom getting him.
"Will you can not interfer. These two are like brothers. If Azhar let Nosaj hurt Jason any longer, it would have gotten much worse. So leave this to him." said Jaden.

So i stepped back to where I was standing, but as I did another Shadowy figure came from the skay and it looked just like Azhar.

"Nosaj are you okay my frined?" asked the other figure.
"Yes Rahza, but it looks like someone stepped out of his place." said Nosaj.
"Oh so this is why I was called here. Well let me propurly introduce myself. I am Rahza, Rahza the Dark. And this is....." said Rahza getting interupted by Azhar.
"We know who he, so are you going to battle with me or not?" asked Azhar.
"Well if you wanna get destroyed so badly then by all means. Me and my Bull Twisted 230WD will profill your wish." said Rahza.

So as they walked to where Jason and Nosaj were battling, Eagle
manage to fly ino the sky.

"Now Azhar, Lets show them what we got." said Jason.
"Okay!" said Azhar.
