In a different fashion than usual, we bring you to a Dark Nebula helicopter flying in a desolate wasteland. In that helicopter came Azure and Doji.

Azure: So Doji, this Powerful Opponent is out here waiting for us?

Doji: Yes. This is her usual 'Training Ground" as she calls it.

Azure: Her? This person is a girl? Better be seriously good if you let her in.

Doji: Yes, well from the destruction around you can try to gauge her strength yourself.

As they flew over the grounds Azure could see desolation around them with craters in the ground, rubble everywhere, and even more.

Azure: Eh.

As they landed thunder struck down on a spot surprising Azure.

Doji: There she is.

Doji held his hand out to a girl with with long red hair and piercing yellow eyes in the distance.

Azure That's her eh?

Stallion: I smell a worthy adversary this girls different from the others. Stronger.

Doji: Now then! Why don't you say HELLO?

The girl pulled out a launcher and attached a bey.

???: LET IT RIP!

She launched they bey as it glowed in a blazing red aura. When it collided with the ground, a massive explosion accused creating a massive crater.

Doji: What do you think? The power she possesses is pretty destructive is it not?

Azure chuckled with a blue gent coming off of his eyes.

Azure: So that's you're way of saying hello? I guess I'll be polite and return the favor!

Azure pushed a button on his bey holster bringing out stallion as he twisted in onto the launcher.

Azure: LET IT RIP! GO STALLION!!

???: Bring it.

After their return from Koma Village with Gingka, everyone came back to the city. Now with that gotten out of the way, Madoka delivers great news!

Ryu: Hold up, SURVIVAL Tournament?

Madoka: YEP!

When Madoka confirmed the words coming out of her mouth where true, a golden light shone down on Ryu. At that moment they all could have sworn they heard a quire of Angels.

Ryu: I think this might be the greatest things thats ever happened to me...

Madoka: ANWAY~ If you win this tournament, the WBBA will grant you any wish!

Benkei: I'd wish for a years supply of steak!

Madoka: Mmhm! The WBBA would even grill it for you!

Osamu: I'd wish for a new launcher!

Madoka: The WBBA would give you a state of the art one!

Ryu didn't hear what the rest had to say as he was to busy being overjoyed the it would basically be a battle of the fittest.

Ryu: 'What more could a guy like me ask for?!'

Madoka: Ryu. Ryu?

Ryu: Huh? What was that?

Madoka: What would you wish for?

Ryu: Me?

Ryu placed his hand on his chin thinking.

Ryu: I don't really know. From the start I've only ever cared about battling, so I don't have a clue.

Gingka: Really?

Ryu: Yeah, but if I had to think of something, it would be a tournament where ALL the strongest Bladers could compete one on one to see who was the greatest!

Kenta: That sounds awesome!

Gingka: Yeah! Who knows what kind of powerful Bladers would show up?! Man I'm pumped just thinking about it!

Ryu: Well then that's what I'd wish for. To be the greatest in the world would be amazing!

TIME SKIP!!

After they all arrived, at an air port as Ryu had a grin the entire time.

Gingka: Your really pumped for the Survival Battle Huh?

Ryu: Gingka, for as long as I can remember I've traveled the world and been in the wilderness sometimes too. This is something I know! It's almost like it was made for me!

Madoka: Well I sure hope people aren't unlucky enough to cross your path.

Ryu: Well guys, I'll see you in the tournament.

Madoka: Wait! You don't wanna partner up?

Ryu: PFFT! No! It's survival of the fittest! We'll battle it out at the end!

Gingka: Yeah!

The call for the Bladers had started as they all went onto the plane with Madoka being dragged in with the crowd. While going to sit down, Ryu saw a redhead pass him noticing her yellow eyes. Ryu stopped in his tracks before looking back seeing that she kept walking.

Ryu: Weird, wonder who that was.

Dracian: Ryu, I sense powerful Beys around somewhere. Two of them with power greater than even the others.

Ryu: Really? Looks like I'm gonna have some fun.

Blader DJ appeared on a tv screen.

DJ: Here's how the Survival Battle is going to go down! The remote deserted piece of land you see down bellow you is Beyblade Island! Where all the action for Survival Battle will happen!

Ryu: An Island?! Ohhh this gets better and better!!

DJ: The rules aren't simple! All the other Bladers are your enemy!

Ryu getting completely confirmation of a free for all couldn't help but yell.

Ryu: HAHAHA!!! YOU HEARD HIM! HE SAID IT NOT ME!! YOUR ALL MY WITNESSES!!!

Dracian: Well this Island is gonna be barren in the next few hours.

DJ: Survival means overcoming the toughest terrain around! The Blader who defeats all the others and is the last one standing WINS!!! But being strong doesn't necessarily mean going in alone. You can team up with another Blader to defeat a stronger opponent if you wish!

Ryu didn't hear a half of what Blader DJ said after "WINS" being overjoyed.

DJ: Now put on the backpacks under your seats!

Ryu grabbed his and put it on.

Ryu: They're planning to drop us and I love it!

DJ: Are you ready? Then let's start the countdown!

Ryu: I swear he just gave me more energy than a Jug of Red Bull.

DJ: 3! 2! 1! GO

The bottom of the planes opened as all 1500 competitors fell down screaming. All accept for Ryu who had a smug grin falling. Soon enough the backpacks were revealed to be parachutes as everyone was safe.

???: It's been a while Ryu!

Ryu turned his head towards a a girl wearing and red jacket who had light blue hair.

Ryu: Sup Hikaru! Didn't know you entered too!

Hikaru: I'm definitely gonna win. So keep your head up!

Ryu: In your dreams!

She separated from the others with everyone seeing Hyoma as well.

Ryu: Guys! You all better make it into the top ten so we can all have a great battle! Until then, see yah!!

Ryu separates from everyone with echoing laughter following him. He landed on top of a mountain throwing off his parachute.

Ryu: Now who should I hunt down first?

???: How about, all of us?!!

Ryu looked around to see somewhere around 250 Bladers around him.

Ryu: Hey this reminds me of the 200 Bey Battle I had when I first came here. Your funerals pal!

He grabbed Dracian and placed her in reverse rotation.

Ryu: 3!

Bladers: 2!

All: 1! LET IT RIP!!

They all launched their beys with Dracian being the one to go on the attack.

Ryu: Make is 250 or 1000! It doesn't matter! GO DRACIAN!!

Dracian started knocking beys around shocking everyone.

Bladers: Woah he's so strong!/How can he do this so easily?!/ He's like some kids Blading monster!

All while this went on Blader DJ struggled to keep count of the people loosing.

DJ: WOAH WHATS GOING ON?! THE NUMBER OF BLADERS ARE DROPPING LIKE MAD NOW!

Gingka: If I had to take a guess-

Kyoya: Thats definitely Ryu's handy work.

Ryu: Finish this Dracian!!

Dracian spun around creating a burst of wind that sent the last 20 Beys flying along with some of the Bladers. Ryu grabbed Dracian and smirked.

Ryu: Any Blader who wants to Battle me can just come by. I'm happy to take on a challenger.

DJ: WOAH!! In a shocking turn of events, someone just defeated 250 Bladers! That's incredible!!

Dracian: Ryu you've just been on fire lately.

Ryu: It's not just me, it's the both of us. After loosing to Azure, as much as I'd hate to admit it, I lost some of my confidence. But after that Battle with Hyoma that I was so close to thinking that I lost, I realized that a feeling worse than loosing, was not giving it my all.

Dracian: Now we're back and better than ever partner!

Ryu: Yeah! WATCH OUT AZURE! THE NEXT FIGHT WONT END IN A DRAW LIKE BEFORE! I'M GOING FOR THE WIN!

Elsewhere!

Madoka: Gingka, what are the odds of the person who defeated that 250 being Ryu?

Gingka: I'd say pretty high. Man! It's like there's no roof to how amazing he can be!

Madoka: Yeah, it's become clear to me that since that loss from Azure and Stallion he's trained hard to make up for it. He's already experienced great gains from then.

Gingka: Really?

Madoka: Yes. His launch power has increased by 40% since then. Also his form is even more refined as well.

Gingka: Well that that's the type of person Ryu is. He'll never let one loss keep him down for long.

DJ: UNBELIEVABLE! Someone just took down another 250 Bladers!

Gingka: What?!

Elsewhere!

A part of the Island was covered in burn marks and Bladers with one still standing. That Blader called back their Bey and started walking away laughing.

Elsewhere!

Ryu: Ok that wasn't me this time. Someone else on the island is that strong?

Dracian: I think it could be those other Beys I sensed. And I know it couldn't be Stallion, the Dark Power would've been too obvious.

Ryu: And about that, are you okay from last time?

Dracian: You mean from when you wen't into a rage? I'm fine.

Ryu: Never said it but sorry about that.

Dracian: It's fine. It's my power anyway. It was you I was worried about.

Ryu: Me?

Dracian: The Dark Power isn't something that can be handled lightly. From the beginning it's been used for feats such as parting see's and even winning wars. That power can corrupt someone. The fact that Stallion is freely being used by Azure amazes me.

Ryu: Then, what about L-Drago and Ryuga?

Dracian: Them I'm not sure about. While Ryuga thinks he's the master, L-Drago hides his true intent.

Ryu: So what your saying is if he starts having trouble in a battle-

Dracian: L-Drago could take over him.

Ryu: Uh oh. But if that's true, then what makes you so different?

Dracian: That's a story for another time. Right now let's focus on the tournament.

Ryu: Yeah.

Ryu started walking around and immediately was found by 3 more Bladers.

Ryu: Looks like other people heard my challenge. Let's go!

TIME SKIP!!

Ryu: Whew. 300. Bladers. Later.

Ryu looked up in the sky to see that there were only 83 Bladers left.

Ryu: Looks like the numbers have gone down quite a bit the past few hours. Not many Bladers left. Anyone who's still here are either pretty good, or REALLY lucky.

Dracian: Maybe both.

Ryu: Well, I think we can wait it out till the top 5. Using all of our energy won't be good.

Dracian: Right.

Ryu kept up to a tree branch laying down.

Elsewhere!

Benkei: KENTA! SPEAK TO ME KENTA!!

Benkei was were near the sea on a rock yelling to an unconscious Kenta. From hearing the yelling Kenta woke up and looked at Benkei.

Kenta: B-Benkei?

Kenta held his wrist in pain worrying Benkei.

Benkei: A-Are you alright Kenta?

He struggled not to cry from the pain worrying Benkei even more.

Benkei: Oh no your wrist! It might be broken from the fall!

Right when Benkei said that, he heard a voice from above.

???: Hey you two.

Benkei: Huh?!

Benkei looked up to see a girl wearing a black leather vest who had red hair and yellow eyes starting down at them.

Benkei: 'No! A Blader his the last thing me need now!'

Chapter End!
