"Now then this story is a bit different from you guy's stories because I was actually the girl in this story."

Flashback

"It was a beautiful evening and the sun was setting."

"While everyone was going to bed I had other plans...."

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

"Let it rip!"

"I was determined to keep practicing, even if I stayed up all night. Tomorrow was my first tournament and I was really nervous."

"I wasn't a well known blader at the time so I felt the need to push myself because I knew there were others better than me out there."

"Come on Thief Siren!"

The bey hit the wall but then bounced out unexpectedly.

"That night I was trying to perfect my new move but I still wasn't getting it. So I tried again, again, and again. I knew what it looked like but it was frustrating because I couldn't translate it into my bey."

"3.."

"2..."

"1..."

"Let it rip!"

The bey gracefully landed in the center of the stadium. Then it started picking up speed bouncing off the stadium walls.

"Siren Scream!"

The bey hit the side of the stadium and flipped but went out.

"Nuts!"

"The move I had been trying to perfect was Siren Scream. The way it was supposed to work was my bey would hit the side of the stadium and flip up. Instead of it going out of the stadium it would go high and then come back down like a dive."

Taylor launched again and again. Sweat covered her forehead and arms. Little by little she was losing her consciousness and joy. By the time it was dark out the lights were turning on and the stars were out. Thankfully for Taylor there was a light above that allowed her to see.

"Now the more I launched the more my arms hurt and I wanted to fall asleep. But for whatever reason I didn't want to give up."

"Hey Taylor? What are you doing out here, it's almost 10?"

Coming out of the dorms was Grant. It made sense considering his room was close to the bey stadium.

"I'm practicing a new move."

"Yeah but aren't you tired?

"Yes but I'm so close to mastering this new move!"

"Alright but don't stay out here too late."

"Fine."

Grant went back inside the dorms.

"Now at the time I was pretty tired but this is when I was starting to shut down."

"Siren Scream!"

The bey flipped into the air but went out of the stadium. Taylor angrily picked up her bey and got into her launching stance.

"Hey."

Taylor turned around face to face with Free De La Hoya.

"Oh hey Free what are you doing out here?"

"Just practicing, what about you?"

"The same *yawn* thing."

"I saw your new move, but try hitting the stadium at an angle instead next time."

Free walked off back into the direction of the forest.

"Now after what Free told me I passed out. I just remember putting my bey into my launcher and then... nothing."

Turning back around, Free saw Taylor on the ground with her bey beside her. Her breathing was slow and relaxed but she looked peaceful and satisfied.

Picking her up Free carried her to the nurse.

"Now the next thing I remember was waking up in the nurse's office. She told me I passed out from exhaustion and that I just needed sleep. But from what I heard Free carried me here. According to the nurse it was like he had superhuman strength or something. He carried me like I was nothing. But then he walked off."

"That was pretty good but I think I like Kris's story the best." commented Grant.

"I liked Delaney's the best, taking on 20 bladers that's crazy!" said Taylor.

"Thanks Tay."

"But I still don't believe your story, Delaney." said Grant

"No that's pretty much how it happened."

In front of them stood Free with Drum beside him.

"Which story?" They all asked.

"All of them."

Free left the bladers sitting there shocked as he left.

Now this when our story shifts back to Free normally.

******

The next day, deep in the forest Free was practicing. It was another beautiful morning and the birds were chirping to the sun's presence. Even other animals like Free's deer were around.

But today was anything but beautiful.

Fafnir raced around the stadium and Free watched with a blank expression. Then he felt something, turning around there was nothing there. Narrowing his eyes he turned back around face to face with Phi.

There was something off about Phi besides his clothes and the minute Free made eye contact he got a bad feeling.

"Greetings, Free De La Hoya."

"I have come here to see you." he said, narrowing his eyes."

"Are you looking for a battle?"

"Not quite, I've come here to play. Meet my Bey: Dread Phoenix."

Free narrowed his eyes while Phi held out his bey.

"With it by my side, I'm going to destroy Geist Fafnir."

"Fafnir's not going anywhere."

"Don't forget Free De La Hoya," Phi said, turning around.

Holding out his hand Phi moved his fingers making Free straighten up. Moving his other fingers Free's head leveled.

"I'm the one in control here."
