Waiting Period: Intense Training

Team Rage were on their plane as Erica seemed to be standing doing Shadow Launches while Ryu was doing handstand push-ups. Karma was on a laptop searching up the teams.

Azure: You know you can at least wait until we land right? You shouldn't tire yourselves out.

Erica: You aren't the one who lost back there! We shouldn't take that loss lightly!

Ryu did another handstand push-up before springing back to his feet.

Ryu: I wasn't taking that match seriously enough. I was so confident after Dracian's evolution that there wouldn't be anyone else in tournaments that could put up a fight.

Karma: That's time Erica. 162 Shadow Launches in 2 minutes.

Erica: Alright, broke my record.

She continued typing searching up Shadow Strike.

Karma: No wonder, Team Shadow Strike has been undefeated so far and has won 4 of their 8 items required to move on without a single defeat.

Azure: They're already halfway done?

Karma: It seems like they have one last Blader too. His name is Jaune Arc.

Ryu: How powerful is he?

Karma: It says he's been the teams second in command every time behind Keith. So it's likely he's the second strongest at least, and his Bey is named Raid Percival.

Erica: Raid Percival? What's it's type?

Karma: From the battles shown, it looks like it's a balance type. Both attack and defense mostly, but it's stamina isn't anything to sneeze at either.

Azure: Not bad at all.

Ryu: Well anyway we have to focus on getting stronger and getting our items too. Next place is China.

Karma seemed to keep scrolling through the sight seeing something odd.

Karma: Hold on guys, check it out.

They looked at the screen seeing something they didn't expect.

Ryu: A break?

The TV turned on as the screen revealed Ryo.

Ryo: Hello Bladers!! It is I the Immortal Ph-

Kasumi bumped him out of the way.

Kasumi: Yes but anyway for the next week all teams must stop collecting items for the tournament. Use this free time however you want. You could use it to just relax, you can even train. Just no item hunting, we'll know.

The TV turned off as they all looked at each other.

Ryu: Well then, this will be perfect. The place this plane is stopping is at China.

Karma: Wait, that's where team Wang Hu Zhong is.

Ryu: Not just them, the Beylin Temple too.

Erica: Beylin Temple?

Stallion: I think I've been there once or twice in my existence.

Ryu: It's a place where China's beat Bladers come to train and hone their skills. It's super hardcore.

Azure: And let me guess, you were able to wreck them all without even breathing hard?

Ryu: Oh yeah. But aside from that, it's a really good place to get some training done.

Azure: Well, looks like we're in luck then.

He looked outside to see they were in the mountains. Deeper in they were able to see a temple.

Ryu: Hey there it is!

Soon they landed on the ground as AGAIN they were met by Isabella.

Ryu: 'Seriously is she an antagonist of a different anime cause she's just giving off those vibes.' Alright guys it's gonna take a little bit on foot to get there.

Karma: Do they treat this as the training too?

Ryu: In a way yeah. But it's pretty simple. A fun step to add to it is speeding it up!

Ryu started running onto the wall before standing on a ledge.

Ryu: COME ON!

Azure: Ah, what up idiot!

Azure ran up after him leaving Karma and Erica.

Erica: What the- GUYS!!

Karma: We can't do that!!

TIME SKIP!!

Ryu: My GOD you guys need to run more.

Both Karma and Erica were panting as Azure seemed only slightly winded while Ryu seemed almost unaffected just having a few beads of sweat.

Karma: We're *Pant* High up in the mountains, *Pant* and YOU'RE a psychopath!!

Erica: *Pant* Shut up.

Azure: Yeah you really can't say anything about this Mr Adventure kid.

Ryu: Anyway we made it.

They looked up the flight of stairs seeing the doors.

Azure: UGHHH!!

Stallion: Just a bit further partner.

Azure: Haha- Shut up.

They climbed the last stretch before Ryu opened the doors as they walked in. Right as they did they saw many bladers training intensely.

Karma: What the-

Fenrir: Hell is this?

Dracian: This is Beylin Temple kids.

Ryu: I did say the place was super hardcore.

Trainer: Hey you! What do you think you're doing here?!

Ryu turned around facing the trainer.

Ryu: Oh hey I remember you!

The trainer looked closely at Ryu before he realized exactly who he was jumping.

Trainer: *GASP!!*

Ryu: What, still spooked from the last time I came here?

???: Is that Ryu Kaizen I see?

He looked to the side seeing a boy around his age with brown hair with yellow highlights.

Ryu: Hey there Dashan!

Dashan: I'd recognize that haircut anywhere.

They shook hands smiling.

Ryu: Guys, this is Dashan Wang. He's probably the best Blader in China.

Karma: Nice to meet you.

Soon enough Chi-Yun and Mei-Mei came from the same door.

Mei-Mei: Hey Ryu! You made it to China!

Chi-Yun: It's good to see you're here with your team.

Azure: His?

Erica: Wait a second, if I'm right there should be 4 of you. Where's the last member?

Dashan: *Sigh* He might been stopped for autographs but he'll be here.

Ryu: ... Why the hell does this sound familiar-

???: Sorry, there was a pretty big crowd today!

They all looked to see a tall and handsome teen -No Homo- walking into the temple. He and Ryu looked at each other for a moment before both of their eyes widened.

Ryu/???: CHAO-XIN/ RYU?!!!

Chao-Xin: Wha-What are you doing here?!!

Ryu: That's my line!!

Dashan: I uh, wasn't aware that you two had met before.

They remembered the first time Ryu came to China.

FLASHBACK!!

A 12 year old Ryu and a 13 year old Chao-Xin were battling on the Great Wall of China.

Chao-Xin: Hah! You aren't half bad for a sweat!!

Ryu: And you aren't half bad for a playboy!!

Surge Dracian and a Highly Customized Virgo were battling as Virgo dodged Dracian's attacks.

Chao-Xin: But that uncool attack pattern won't beat my Virgo.

Ryu: Uncool huh?! Fine then have it you're way!

Dracian sped ahead of Virgo as she shifted into full attack mode and glowed red.

Ryu: SURGE THUNDER!!!

Dracian clashed with Virgo causing an explosion with the sound of lightning striking. The wall was greatly damaged as the Bey's were still spinning but Dracian seemed to have more stamina.

Chao-Xin: Oh no, VIRGO!!

Ryu: Alright now finish it-

Officer: HEY YOU KIDS!! THAT'S MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE!!

Both Bladers jumped and looked at each other.

Chao-Xin: Truce?

Ryu: Yup. RUN FOR IT!!

They grabbed their Bey's jetting off.

FLASHBACK OVER!!

Chao-Xin: ... Yeah.

Mei-Mei: That's why the wall was damaged?!!

Chi-Yun/Karma: Only Ryu.

Ryu: ANYWAY since we were set to head to China I thought this place would be a good place to get in some needed training.

Dashan: Of course.

Chi-Yun: Just don't leave another path of destruction in your wake.

Azure: What did you DO in this country?

Ryu: What happens in the past, stays in the past :P.

Dashan: Anyway, how about we go for a battle.

He held out his Bey Rock Zurafa. In response Ryu held out Buster Dracian.

Ryu: Haha, I couldn't be happier to.

Dashan: So that is Buster Dracian. Seeing it in person is much different than on a screen.

They walked to a stadium as Ryu adjusted his launcher. Dashan took a notice of Ryu's odd stance.

Ryu: 3!!

Dashan: 2!!

Both: 1!! LET IT RIP!!

They launched their Bey's into the stadium as it seemed Dracian was in Reverse Rotation.

Dashan: So you chose Reverse Rotation!

Ryu: There isn't gonna be any running here Dashan! And if I'm right this'll be you're first time facing a Bey spinning counter clockwise.

Karma: Wait so he won while never using reverse rotation here?

Erica: That's impressive.

Dracian cut off Zurafa as the Bey's clashed.

Dashan: Quelled Ascension!!

Zurafa flew into the air shocking all of Team Rage aside from Ryu.

Zurafa: Rock Zurafa: STRONG ARM FLASH!!

Zurafa slammed into Dracian from above causing a small shockwave.

Ryu: Not bad, but it'll take more than that!

Dracian began attacking Zurafa relentlessly.

Azure: Man, Zurafa can take a beating. So many of Dracian's attacks and it's still not even damaged.

Erica: Yeah, even Lucifer would be a little shaken.

Karma: Wait a sec, rubber?

Erica: Huh?

Karma: The three wings on Zurafa's spin track a made of rubber!

Azure: That's what it is?

Ryu: Zurafa's as annoying as ever.

Dashan: Rock Zurafa: STRONG ARM BARRAGE!!

Zurafa glowed in a yellow light as it pushed back against Dracian with a barrage of hits.

Dashan: What's wrong Ryu? I thought you'd be more forceful than this.

Ryu: I see you're game. Alright let's see how you handle this!

Dracian moved in a serpent like motion before smashing into Zurafa with incredible force.

Dashan: NO WAY!!

Chao-Xin: Mei-Mei, that attack's like-

Mei-Mei: Yes, those were the same movements of the Fighting Snake Flash!

Ryu: HRAAGH!!!

Dracian raced to attack Zurafa at incredible speeds hitting it.

Chi-Yun: That looked like the Piercing Brink Strike!

Dashan: Using moves that we've seen so you don't have to reveal your own Special Move? Clever Ryu, but not clever enough!! Solid Iron Wall!!

Zurafa spun in the middle of the stadium as what looked to be the Yin and Yang symbol appeared in center. Dracian in for an attack again but this time it was repelled.

Ryu: Oh great, this move. One more time!!

Dracian started hitting Zurafa with a series of attacks but she wasn't able to make it budge.

Erica: Woah.

Karma: The Solid Iron Wall.

Azure: You know it?

Karma: It's a Super Defensive technique. The users Bey stays in the center of the stadium in a defensive position that's crazy hard to knock someone out of. It's something I tried to base my Chaos Shield off of but it was too hard for me to get right.

Dashan: How will you fight against this Ryu? My Solid Iron wall has become more refined since our last battle.

Ryu: Ha, alright I'm impressed, but if you think a wall like that can stop me you are dead wrong. DRACIAN!!

Sparks came from beneath Dracian as she spun around the stadium with blazing speeds.

Erica: There it is!

Karma: Buster Spin!!

Azure: That so called "Iron Wall" is nothing.

Stallion: It's merely a wooden door compared to us.

Ryu: Spin faster Dracian!!

Dracian spun around the stadium even faster as a draft came from the stadium. Soon the draft became a full on tornado with wind raging everywhere.

Chao-Xin: WHAT THE HELL?!!

Chi-Yun: It is as strong as a Lion Gale Force Wall!

Erica: WOAH!! THAT'S A NEW ONE!!

Karma: A TORNADO?!!

Azure: Karma, you shouldn't be surprised that Ryu can do this. He's done it before!

Karma had flashbacks of Battle Bladers and remembered the finale battle between Ryu and Azure.

Dashan: This is unreal!!

Ryu: It might not be at the Level Kyoya's is, but soon we'll in in a league of our own.

Zurafa rose into the air.

Dashan: ON NO, ZURAFA!!!

Dracian sped in to attack Zurafa as it fell. When the Bey's clashed there was direct Fusion Wheel contact making the rubber wings useless. Zurafa was hit out of the stadium and landed on the ground. Ryu grabbed Dracian smirking.

Ryu: This is my victory.

They all looked at the burns on the stadium from Dracian's circling.

Azure: Showoff. But as long as he doesn't show all of his tricks it's fine.

Mei-Mei: Wait, did you just say ALL of his tricks?

Erica: Wait, don't tell me he has another move that only you know.

Karma looked at Ryu amazed. Dashan turned and picked up Zurafa before looking at Ryu.

Dashan: That was an amazing battle Ryu. I knew there was something I had to look forward to when you came back here. But just know that I still had one trick up my sleeve.

Ryu: Yeah, but you'll have a few more chances.

Karma: I can't believe it. Just how strong have you really gotten Ryu?
