*Insert Dramatic sound effects*

⚪⚪⚪

Battle Begin

⚪⚪⚪

Previously....

"Next is the New Team El Dorado!! Lead by Vincent Roswell with Leo Tsurugi, Euan and Darwin!!!"

The moment Hayami - the announcer - call our team name. The ground start to move upward like a elevator.

Then everything became slow

Three

My heart is beating fast not because of nervousness.... Its bacause of exciteness of adrenaline rushing all over my body

Two

No one is talking. But the thick silence reign has a message

One

We're Ready

*Cheer* *Clap*

I can now see different people from afar.

And of course, I can sense the other Team eyes on us

They already know

My face bleed into a emotionless mask when I see from my peripheral vision all of my friends

I don't know what to feel but different emotions start to debating which one is to feel

But I choose none. Why?

I don't know... But it feels better

I look at the crowd - more like into the unknown.

*Crack*

Then again, another needle Pierce in my heart... This time more deeper.

Damn, Its hurt the moment you never see your friends from a long time but you are chain to stay.

Damn, its hurt when you feel the eyes from your friends... Instead of warm gaze.... Its actually the opposite

(I scoff)

Oh yeah, the moment we step here.... We're the Enemies

I am Right?

<<Day 2: Elimination Round [1/2]>>

6:55 pm

Honcho/Rantaro Pov

"Goodluck Cuza" I said while patting his shoulder

Free then give him a thumbs up

"Haha Thanks!" Cuza reply flashing a confident smile

Then he turned to Silas

"You? Not saying anything? This is the First Battle against El Dorado" Cuza then Pout while Silas look away

"Tsk You don't need to goodluck... I know you can do it" Silas said

"In short~ Your just shy to do it~" I grin when Silas shoot me a death glare

"That's enough, we need to go back" Free order and we nod

Actually we're on the waiting room - where balder's are preparing there's self - the room is just big enough like the cozy sofa, nice air conditioner and others.

We just want to goodluck to Cuza Cause... Seriously?! First Battle? The El Dorado has been show off?

(I wonder if the battle is already plan along)

*Shrug*

At exact 7:00 pm - the first Battle will start and I have a Faith Cuza.

I wonder What tricks has been hiding on their sleeves

(Then I remember something)

I will battle El Dorado too tommorow... What's that boy named again Darwin? Yeah right.

I hope my practice is payed off tomorrow.

"Here! We already reserved a seats for you guys" Kris then point the vacant seat

"Thanks" I grin and comfortably sit with Silas and Free behind me

I also let my eyes wonder. We're sitting in the VIP Seats near at the battle. We have designated seats for each team. Then my eyes spot Shu who is noticeable glancing at the El Dorado Team.

'Seriously Shu?'

I need to talk to him later.

My eyes narrow when I notice two younger kids that look likes familiar.

'Oh Yes! Their Ella and Evan. The Roswell twins.'

How did I know?

....Well Kris is super reliable in terms of informations source

Then I also know the man sitting next to twins with glasses.

'Their Bey Trainer'

Then I realized something.....

Wait! Where is their Captain?

Only Darwin and Leo is there

Deciding that I look like a stalker, I decide to stop and look in my phone - currently in air plane mode.

6:59 pm

'This is it!'

"Hello dear bladers are you guys excited!!!!!"

Everyone cheer, I can feel everybody is tired of waiting

"Ok!! I know you guys are Excited so Let's Start this!!!!"

"The first Battle in Group 1° Elimination Round will be start with Cuza from BC Sol and Euan from El Dorado!!!"

The two blader's walk in different path.

Both beys Launched and now swirling around leaving a trail of color

'I hope Cuza Win'

⚪⚪⚪

Shu

"Burst Finish! Darwin will move on to the Second Round"

Damn the 2 El Dorado Candidates move one to the second round

I was watching their battle and I was impress by how good they are.

(Of course I will not forget that they are still a threat)

Tsk

But I am wondering where is that Vincent Guy? Is he supposed to watch his teams?

I look over the Board where all the previous battle this day done

Group 1°

Cuza vs Euan = Euan

Clio vs Wakiya = Wakiya

Free vs Orochi = Free

Stan vs Daigo = Daigo

Shu vs Akira = Shu

Joshua vs Quon = Joshua

Zac vs Gabe = Zac

Katana vs Darwin = Darwin

Tomorrow I know that guy will show up.

But first of all.... I need to talk with my friends

⚪⚪⚪

Naoki Pov

(Azul: Aha a Surprisingly Pov~)

VALT AOI... What can I say about him?

First of all he's just a normal blader wannabe, clumsy, sensitive,fool, loud, and a Happy-go-lucky boy or in one word Annoying

Nothing Special to him unlike his best friend slash prodigy - Shu Kurenai

But that was I thought not until he defeat me.

Like I said, he's not that special..... But he's one of a kind

Do you still remember that time I trick him and his friends for my own benefit? Such a selfish desire I am right?

But..... He forgave me

He still smile upon me

That stupid Smiled..... I found it annoying but later on I think he suits him all.

He thinks me as a friend? After what I did to him. He still smiling at me with this toothy grin whenever he see me.

I admit... He's a great companion. And am grateful about that.

But I couldn't even say thank you to him after he passes away

I also sadden cause who thought a kind young blader like him disappear.

You might didn't see me in the funeral but... I was there outside and I witnessed of how many people Valt friends make.

I hope there is still a chance to meet him and thanks him.
And my prayers answered is surprisingly way.

.....

I was done watching the live coverage of World Tournament League in my TV that night when a mysterious message came in.

It doesn't show who sent this one but to my complete shock I think I know who sent this

" You're probably learning a lot about beyblade with all the data you're collecting. But nobody wants to feel like they're being used as a lab rat. As long your upfront about it, everyone's happy"

This message.... I the exact same message Valt Aoi Told me when he try to stop me from destroying my tablet !!!(But eventually I trip on so its destroyed)

It seemingly take me a moment to register the information. My face immediately paled, my hands are shaking while I'll holding the paper. My mind screech thinking how the impossible is this?

Valt Aoi already dead right?

But

We're the only one talking that day? He said those exact message to me!! And no one is there so its impossible... Unless

He's still Alive along with his siblings

I tried to calm my self and think rational in this situation.

I flip the paper to see there is still another message... But in numbers?

33 - 1 - 52 - 25

56 - 6 - 19

'The hell is this?! A codes?!'

I tried to look again

('What I am a detective?? I'm a Scientis-)

Wait!

I took a pen and empty paper and try to decode it...

And the Answer took me by surprise

⚪⚪⚪

Kristina Kuroda or Kris is known as the manager and owner of BC Sol. Free De la Hoya is her childhood friend too.

For the past few days, she's been busy collecting information from the so called threat the day she inform of something...

Her father is a FBI agent and assign to investigate the Roswell Company because of the suspicious of being connected to Theodore Glass.

Her father told her about this and Kris clenched her fist.

Well can you blame her? The last time that man make a move.... A lot of bladers has been manipulate.

Shu and the other mask bladers that has been caught told that they have been offered to be a great blader as long they will follow all the methods they ask

But that's not enough to make the ruthless man sent to jail.

That make Kris frustrate.

So Kris just threaten the man to not go back

(Azul: I don't remember the exact message)

"Don't go back or else this kids will stop you" - Kris

" I deem that you and Valt win this time" - Ashtem

Kris Should have known, she should've known that man despise to Lose

Kris volunteer to help her father in her Investigation but her father didn't want to endanger his daughter.

Instead.

He want Kris to give all of her support in the team to win and don't let the new Team El Dorado win which then make them confess when they already cornered and evidence has been collect.

Her father think that the perfect time to interfere is when the World Tournament League occur that make the target get their attention away. And that's seem fair enough

So she use all of her time to gather information of El Dorado from the moment they enter the battle. And she can see that they are really have a potential.

She watch carefully and try to deduct a strategize but she can also say that the enemies is really flawless but she had faith in her friends

Faith and Friends

She grab a picture where all the BC Sol members are present and in the middle is Valt holding the trophy he win when he battle Shu.

(Pang)

'Dang! Why in every time I saw Valt pics... Why it make my heart hurt? Like something is wrong'

*Shrug*

After what Shu did to his Best Friend... Valt is willing to forgive. Valt believe that his Best friend will be back. Valt put his complete faith on HIM.

"Don't say that. Please....just... don't act like we're not friends!" - Valt

Kris still remember Valt words then suddenly a idea struck in her mind

She immediately type something in her laptop.

Ah, this will be a long night

⚪⚪⚪

"Sir Glass Vincent is already here"

"Ah Yes, My boy take a seat"

"Do you have an idea why are you here"

"......"

"Not gonna answer huh?"

"I don't know?"

"Well then mind if you explain this thing"

*Gasp*
