It was approaching evening, but the stars were so bright and clear like distant diamonds on the dark velvet. As the sun started to set, it had caught the colors of a fading ember as it seemingly set into the west. The stars sparkled like distant diamonds in the sky, while the sky is like deep sapphire blue velvet that sparkled with the beautiful constellations overhead. As the clouds cleared, a silver circle of the full moon had also appeared in the night sky and had casted its soft silvery beams of light over the land.
A good deal of people were either heading home or doing late chores. But there was movement of a person that ran swiftly as the wind as the person ran between the trees before jumping onto the branches of a nearby tree. The shadows of the forest and the cloudy moon covered the unknown person's features, but one could see that the person is a girl named Freya Grace.
As Freya was looking up at the night sky, the dark clouds had started clearing away from the night sky. The stunningly beautiful aura of stars can be seen in the dark blue night sky. Freya admired the beauty of the stars that sparkled in a rainbow of colors like distant diamonds in the night sky. It wasn't long till the full circle of the silvery moon had revealed itself from the parting, dark clouds.
But when Freya looked up, she soon saw beauty in the approaching night sky from the tree she was in. It was a late evening, while the stars are so bright and clear like distant diamonds on the dark blue velvet of the night sky. As the moon had started to slowly reveal itself, Freya's thoughts wondered through the night. The stars sparkled like distant diamonds in the sky, while the sky is like deep sapphire blue velvet that sparkled with the beautiful constellations overhead. As the clouds cleared, a silver circle of the full moon had also appeared in the night sky and had casted its soft silvery beams of light over the land.
As the moon shone down its gentle silvery light onto the clearing, it revealed Erika's features in the silvery moonlight: Freya's a tall and slim teenage girl with light skin and long, wavy blonde hair that reaches her shoulders. Her sharp cerulean blue eyes sparkled with calm passion and held a quiet, but intense light of a deadly predator, but she has a scar marked over her right eye from a past accident. She's wearing a brown cloak with a light blue t-shirt underneath it and has a pair of blue pants that's tied by her brown belt. She has brown fingerless gloves on her hands and a pair of brown hiking boots.
Freya smiled at the sight of the fireflies as they started to appear in the waving grass and started glowing bright yellow like scattered, fallen stars. She started running in circles around the clearing and the fireflies started fluttering around her like alit golden stars. She ran through the long grass again and laughed as a trail of fireflies had started glowing a trail behind as she ran and grinned to see the stars sparkling above her head. It almost felt like she was dancing with the stars, it made her feel at peace as she continued running through the clearing. Freya smiled in awe at the stunning sight of the glowing fireflies overhead as she jumped into the center of the clearing and causing more fireflies to float up from the once-dark clearing, like floating yellow stars.
But something unique had caught her eye from the evening sky and looked towards it. Freya saw a shooting star falling from the heavens when it was suddenly divided into glowing pieces of the shooting star. She counted about a dozen pieces of the star had landed in different parts of the world and the balls of energy are in the colors of sparkling bright white, but she thought she saw a dark star fragment heading towards the west and ignored it. Freya's full attention, however, was on a dazzling white ball of light that was heading towards the eastern forest.
A star fragment, Freya thought quietly.
Despite her curiosity, Freya felt as if she was being summoned by the ball of light and started following it eagerly. She broke into a run through the shadowy forest again. Not pushing hard at first, but gaining rhythm and speed as she ran across the grass. She focused on each bound, straightening her back and reached out with her feet a little farther before they touched the grass. She pushed harder with every stride until she was aware of nothing, but the steady thrumming of her feet and the way her breath fell in time with her pace. She was suddenly moving with ease, as though the wind was carrying her while the grass slid beneath her like air beneath a moth's wings. She occasionally jumped from hills and tree trunks without too much trouble as she continued her run through the forest.
The villagers had called it the Shadow Forest due to it's hidden nature and thick shrubbery, figured Freya as she walked calmly into the forest. As well as its name applies, the forest casts huge shadows all over the place — even in the daytime — at the moment, it was casting long glows from the white glow of the ball of light above. The forest is covered with all sorts of trees and has some of the undergrowth was covered in small patches of grass, thorn bushes, and brambles.
She soon slowed down to a stop when she saw the ball of light had disappeared and stepped into the clearing when she saw an ancient-looking archway that seems to be attached by a pair of stone walls with a stream underneath the bridge. Freya saw some clear and blue waterfalls as she carefully stepped through the archway, while she saw some ancient and coppery ruins covered by some moss and vines. Freya looked around curiously, wondering who'd use to live in these ruins. A noble family, maybe?
But she caught sight of something behind a smaller waterfall with a pond. She narrowed her eyes at the pond when she saw some well-hidden steppingstones in the pale light. Her curiosity had gotten the best of her and Freya had started jumping from stone to stone through the pond, slightly enjoying the cool water and kept pushing forward as she headed towards the hidden cave.
She was in a partly lit cave that has some unlit torches hanging from the cave walls. Freya had put one of the torches aflame and started held it as she walked into the cave. There was many carvings and paintings on the cave walls from the unknown elders. On the ground was many pieces of humankind supplies: jugs, weapons, cloths, and much more all over the place. As Freya went deeper into the cave, there was towering stone pillars entwined with more carved tigers rose to support the cave's ceiling in the darkness, casting long shadows through the fiery golden-amber glow from her torch that filled the place. But she doesn't know what those round, twinkling objects that has been placed into the cave walls around her. Different versions of beys maybe? Freya shrugged and continued walking by herself.
It wasn't long till she had reached the very back of the cave, she could see a carving of a tiger and wasn't sure what it was about. Freya had almost stepped back in surprise when she saw something glowing light blue in the fog within the cave. She narrowed her eyes into a stare and watched as the fog in the cave has begun to clear. She gasped of what she saw shining at her in one of the carved tiger's eyes. It was a fossil of a beyblade in the eye of the carved tiger.
Erika walked towards the tiger carving, determination and curiosity filling her to the core. Something about the beyblade had reassured her and unsettled her at the same time. She carefully placed her hand onto the beyblade and closed her eyes, unaware of the fierce blue aura surrounding her from the beyblade.
"My friend, I don't know what await us," Freya said to the beyblade. "But please tell me who you are."
That's when the beyblade started sparkling in a blue light and it started reflecting into her eyes, which made her eyes widened at the sight. It was like entering an awakening dream of a sort. Surrounding her were the colors of the universe and the stars of the cosmos. It felt so unreal and magical at the same time, Freya was surrounded by some misty clouds came and a majestic creature was standing in front of her.
It is a beautiful tigress.
The tigress was big and strong, twice the size of a male lion, with a beautiful, shining pelt in the stunning mix of shimmering white and silver, but she has dark blue stripes. She's extremely well-muscled as her muscles churned underneath her pelt and her quiet grace is extremely exquisite. The tigress's eyes are bright blue, like a pair of blue flames shining through the mist. Freya found it rather impressive that such a predator would look at her with so much respect and care. Behind these blue eyes seemed to hide more wisdom and intelligence than Freya thought. The tigress' claws are sharp and curved like knives, while the tigress's fangs are gleaming white.
"Greetings my child." A strong, warm voice was soon heard echoing from the tigress, in which reminded Freya of the sea. The voice is clearly a female and sounded human, but inhuman at the same time. "My name is Storm Cansu."
"Are you the one who'd summoned me?" Freya asked softly.
"Indeed I did." Cansu's blue gleamed through the mist. "I felt a bond with you for quite a while now. I want to be your partner."
"Me too," said Freya eagerly. "Let's see what we can do together."
Cansu placed her head onto Freya's chest and Freya hugged her new partner with a warm smile. Freya soon came back to reality as she carefully took the beyblade out of the tiger carving and she stared at in awe. The beyblade is round, but it seems extremely powerful too as the brown rock has faded. It has a deep blue energy ring has thin blue streaks and the white fusion wheel has deep blue blades. However, the facebolt has the face of a white, dark blue-striped and blue-eyed tiger on it.
It was perfect, perfect in every way. It gleamed as though it has been polished. It was free from any scratches or damages that would of been marked by any beybattle. It felt warm and smooth in Freya's hand. Her feelings rolled around inside of Freya like a wildfire. She don't know whether to feel amazed or awe or joyful or curiosity. But Freya immediately knew that the beyblade wanted to battle... much like Freya.
Her eyes shone bright blue, much like a tiger's eyes and her inner fire has begun to roar. Her blue aura soon revealed itself from behind her and the figure of Cansu stood behind Freya to reveal their bond with each other. Her aura is radiating ocean blue from behind Freya and Cansu. She felt it burn strong and bright like a fierce wildfire, but the strength and power of it has yet to be touched by Freya.
The cracks around the tiger carving had started glowing bright blue and the blue light shone up towards the night sky, causing the tiger constellation to be aligned in the night sky and the spirit of the lost tigress roared into the sky.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
In the woods, the six Battlers (Sho, Jin, Leon, Ricky, Armas, and Task) with Rachel and Jimmy were walking through the woods together. They suddenly saw the tiger constellation being magically aligned in the night sky. The eight of them looked at each other with confusion evident on their faces before looking back at the night sky.
"What's that?" Sho asked out loud curiously.
"Not a clue," said Task as he eyed the balls of light. "I've never seen anything like that before."
"Well, whatever it is... IT'S COMING TOWARDS US!!!" At Leon's alarmed yell, the five Battlers and their two guides had started running away from the six balls of light.
But the only one who was lagging behind was Sho Tenma, who had accidentally tripped over a loose tiger pit and fell down as the six balls of light had started heading towards him and his friends.
"SHO!!!" His friends realized that Sho had gotten himself stuck and was left behind the from his sudden trip. Jin ran towards Sho and helped one of his best friends from the uncalled trap. Jin held onto his best friend protectively, trying to keep the ball of light hitting one of his best friends.
But it was no good, one by one, the glowing balls of light had landed where the Battlers were each standing. In the next moment, everything changed. The Battlers' beyraiders had started glowing brighter and brighter until flashes of light had occurred. Once the blinding lights had cleared out, one could see everyone has been knocked out by the shockwaves.
But it wasn't long till Sho had slowly started wake up and was surprised see a slowly awakening Jin laying down besides him with a protective arm over his shoulders. Leon, Ricky, Armes, and Task had all woken up next to a wide-awake Jimmy and a startled Rachel when the four boys had protected the black-haired siblings from the bright lights.
"Ugh, what happened?" Sho gingerly rubbed his head, but he smiled gratefully to Jin. "Thanks Jin."
"You're welcome," said Jin with a relieved smile and gave his friend a sidelong hug.
"Are you guys okay?" Leon asked, concerned.
"I think so." Sho looked back at Jin worriedly. "Are you okay, Jin?"
"I'm fine," said Jin as he helped Sho up to his feet and stepped away from the hole as they reunited their friends.
"What happened to our partners?" The boys took out their beys were stunned to see what happened their partners. Their fusion beyblades are all round and covered in small blades, but the beyblades were radiating with power too. Each of their beyblades were perfect, perfect in every way. Their beyblades gleamed as though it has been polished. It was free from any scratches or damages that would of been marked by any beybattle. It felt warm and smooth in each of the new Bladers' hands. Their feelings rolled around inside of the boys like a fierce and determined wildfire.
Sho immediately knew that his beyblade wanted to battle... much like himself. But by the looks of it, Sho could tell that his friends want to battle each other with their partners. When he took out his evolved partner, he was surprised to see his new partner and his old partner mixed together into Samurai Pegasus. When Jin took out his bey, he was amazed to see both of his partners have been mixed together into Ronin Drago. Leon was stunned to see both of his partners has been mixed together and transformed into Berserker Leone. But Ricky, Armes, and Task's beys has been transformed into powerful fusion beyblades too.
"Those bright lights might have something to do with our beys," said Task thoughtfully.
"No kidding," Leone muttered, but he smiled at his transformed bey partner.
"But I think there were more," said Jin. "I saw seven lights heading towards the piece of our world and one light heading to the east."
"We must find the other Bladers and keep them safe from harm." Sho stood in front of everyone, his blue eyes shone with powerful determination.
