Beyblade Metal Fury: Fight of the Night (Under Editing)

Chapter One: Another Ancient Threat

"There they are. Dynamis! Tithi!" Tsubasa Ootori raised his hand into the air, waving to catch the two Legendary Bladers' attention. Tithi noticed them first, cheering and weaving through the crowd towards the trio standing on the curb.
"Tithi!" Yuu Tendo bounced up and down, meeting his friend in a hug, "It's good to see you, buddy!"
"It's good to see you too, Yuu! I'm so excited to be back here! Do you think we can battle later?" Tithi, Legendary Blader of Venus, was practically vibrating in excitement.
"Oh, you know it!" Yuu grinned.
A groan caught the two young teens' attention, and they turned in sync to see a weary and annoyed Kyoya Tategami rubbing his temples. Tithi yelped and scrambled to put Yu between him and the fierce Leone Blader.
"Seriously? It's too early in the morning for this." Kyoya glared at them wearily.
"Kyoya..." Tsubasa sighed, exasperated. "It's been a while since they've seen each other. They're entitled to be a little loud."
"It's not even nine in the morning yet, though!" complained Kyoya. "Kakeru's not this loud and he's one of the most energetic people I know!"
"Oh, pipe down, Yo-Yo." Yu frowned. "You aren't exactly the best person to be around with on a Saturday morning, either."
"What?! You little runt, take that back—" Kyoya gave a sharp glare to Yu.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Dynamis said, amused, as he finally joined the group. He adjusted the bag over his shoulder. "Tithi, how many times do I have to tell you not to run off without telling me where you're going?"
"Sorry, Dynamis. I got excited!" Tithi smiled up at his new guardian. Dynamis rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Then I guess, it's understandable, this time," Dynamis mused.
"It's good to see you again, Dynamis," Tsubasa said, holding his hand out. Dynamis shook it, smiling a little.
"I wish, it were under better circumstances." Dynamis sighed. "It seems, every time we see each other, it's because of a competition or, in this case, another potentially world ending catastrophe."
"You were pretty vague in the video call." Kyoya pushed aside his annoyance to the two younger teens for a moment, stepping up join the conversation. "Pretty much all you said was that you were getting on the next flight here to Japan and you needed to talk to Gingka and Ryo as soon as possible."
"Indeed." Dynamis nodded. He glanced around, warily. "So, if it's not too much trouble, perhaps we could get going? I promise, I'll explain everything to you once I'm sure we're away from where anyone could possible listen in."
Tsubasa and Kyoya shared a look, before Kyoya pulled a set of keys from his pocket. "Best we get going then. Director's waiting on us, after all."
Tsubasa nodded, and turned. "Yu. Tithi. Come on now, you two can chat while we head back to the WBBA."

"Dynamis!" Gingka Hagane exclaimed, the redhead's ever present smile on his face when he noticed his fellow Legendary Bladers enter the office. "And Tithi too!"
"Gingkie!" Tithi squealed, and rushed forward to hug the Pegasus Blader.
"Oof, you've gotten big Tithi! And strong too! Has it really been that long?" Gingka chuckled softly at the younger Legendary Blader.
"Almost a year, Gingka," Madoka Amano stated dryly.
"Gingka, can we battle?" Tithi looked up, puppy eyes in play.
"Uh... Maybe later, Tithi." Gingka laughed. "Right now, uh, the adults kind of need to talk."
Tithi pouted. "But Gingkie...!"
"It's okay." Gingka gently ruffled his hair playfully. "You two can meet up with Kenta. He's in the gym room."
Both Yu and Tithi let out twin cheers, and rushed out the door. They were soon followed by an amused Sora. He laughed and followed them. "I'll call if they get to be too much. But come on guys, let them be kids before they become too aware of the next potential world ending disaster."
Once the door was shut, the mood in the office shifted from the light-hearted one it was, to a more serious one. Dynamis took the time to survey the people gathered: Ryo and Gingka Hagane, Hikaru Hisama, Madoka Amano, Yuki Mizusawa, Chris Cadelle, Kyoya Tategami, and finally Tsubasa Ootori.
"I'm sorry for gathering you all on short notice," Dynamis said sorrowfully. "But as soon as I realized the stars were aligning, I knew I had to tell you about this."
"Hey, what's another world ending catastrophe? We've handled how many now?" Kyoya asked sarcastically. "Two? Three if we count Ryuga and the Dark Power?"
"Now, because you said this would be another global thing," Ryo spoke up, and turned to the computer screen behind him. He clicked a button, and several tabs appeared, each one an open video feed with most members of the Legendary Bladers, and a few of the World Championship Bladers. "Thank you all for waiting, and I apologize if some of you are sacrificing your sleep schedules for this."
"No trouble at all," Da Xiang Wong of Wang Hu Zhong spoke. Next to him was Aguma Ji and the team of Wang Hu Zhong.
"What's sleep?" Zeo Abyss asked, dryly. The rest of Team Dungeon was with him, including King. Zeo cracked a grin. "Nah, you're fine. It's just after eight here."
"Oh, mood," Nile Storm muttered. "Mum is gonna kill me when she discovers me being up this late." Kyoya snorted.
"Time is an illusion," Julian Konzern sighed. "Now, what's this about another global threat?"
Dynamis cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Yes, well, I'll put it simply... another deity of evil is set to rise within the next four months. This one... is Nyx, goddess of the night. Where as Nemesis set out to cause destruction and raise the Black Sun, Nyx is different. If history repeats itself, she'll set out to cause a never ending night over the world."
"Never ending night... that sounds significantly better than the world falling into chaos," Aguma mused.
Next to him, Bao shook his head. "Think again, Aguma. Never ending night means no sun. No sun means nothing can grow. You're talking about famine and death coming in within weeks."
Yuki nodded. "Mr Wildheart is right. Also, a never-ending night implies the moon will be brought into the equation. The moon controls the ocean's high tides. If a never-ending night does in fact come into fruition, we're talking about rising water levels and floods globally as well."
"Not to mention the change in gravity," Julian commented. At the looks he received. "Hey, I can control gravity with just a few words, don't look at me like that. Going off of what Yuki said, the gravitational pull of the moon with the ocean tides will also change the gravity on Earth as well. Instead of being focused on one point, it'll pull harder on the entire Earth's surface itself."
"Okay, so how do we prevent this from happening?" King asked. "Is this another Legendary Blader deal?"
"Not just a Legendary Blader situation, I'm afraid." Dynamis shook his head with a sigh. "But the Elemental Four."
There was a beat of silence.
"Care to elaborate?" Nile asked tiredly. "Who are the Elemental Four?"
"A set of warriors that originally defeated Nyx, back when she first made herself known," Dynamis explained. "Four Bladers, each of them with the power of a certain element on their side: Lightning, Wind, Fire, Water, and Darkness."
"That's five," Kyoya pointed out.
"Darkness was the fraction of power that went to Nyx's guardian herself, so I can expect the same for this situation," Dynamis told him.
"Like what happened with King Hades and Nemesis," Chris commented, thoughtfully. "How do we find these Bladers, now?"
"An upcoming meteor shower, within the next week. It's called Perseids Shower," Dynamis said. "At the max peak of this shower, the Seven's elements will reveal themselves. A comet will fly over the chosen warrior, but unfortunately, it will not be a star fragment like it was for we of the Legendary Bladers. The comets themselves will have a specific color to them show off the element, and I can't say there will be any 'evolutions' to the Bey itself, only an increase in power."
"Any idea what the colors will be? So, we have a way to narrow down the element we're looking for in each country?" Julian questioned.
"I'm afraid not." Dynamis sighed. "But, considering we're on a shorter time crunch to find these Bladers than we were for the Legendary Bladers, we should figure out a way to find them faster and train them so they are prepared. After all, some of us only had a couple of weeks between when the star fragment awakened and when we battled Nemesis to get where we needed to be."
A few glances towards Chris where given. Chris glared at everyone in the room. "Don't be giving me that look. How was I supposed to know I was the Winter Blader?!"
"How about... Orion?" Zeo asked him, with a touch of sarcasm.
"Not to mention, our less than stellar... teamwork," Dynamis said. This time, look towards Aguma, Kyoya, and Chris were given. Kyoya glared, Chris sighed in defeat, and Aguma had the decency to look ashamed.
"But we should stay on the look out for abnormal, or brighter than usual, colors in the comet shower as it passes over the globe," Yuki commented. "And tell everyone who isn't present here currently about it, as well."
"I'll call Ryuto." Tsubasa gazed on calmly.
"I'll be sure to tell Aleksi and the Russian team." Madoka nodded.
"And I'll pass the message on to the rest of Excalibur," Julian said.
"Quick question." Kyoya raised a finger. "Is there going to be another Hades Curse situation?"
"The Curse of Death," Dynamis answered. "The user of the element of Death may feel a pull to join Nyx, only because his or her element is something that Nyx could use to her advantage. Whoever the element of Death ends up being, we should keep a close eye on for any changes in personality or who their associates may or may not be."
"But how are we going to track them down?" Chris asked. "They could be scattered across the world."
"That's when the satellite will come to help us Mr. Chris," said Yuki. "Me and the Russian team might be able to locate these meteorites on the map."
"I have put up World Tournaments on some of the islands to encourage Bladers to battle again," admitted Ryo, silencing everyone. "It could help us locate these four Legendary Bladers." Ryo glanced at each of the respective teams, both in person and on screen. "Small teams of Bladers will participate in it, so they can track down these four."
"An interesting set up," Julian mused. "But I see the reasoning behind this."
"Like I said, tell no one of this unless you trust them to keep it to themselves. The official announcement doesn't come for another two weeks, and these competitions start in three." Ryo crossed his arms. "Am I clear?" Ryo got various forms of affirmation, before he nodded. He turned to Dynamis. "Is there anything else you need to share with us?"
"Only that when the meteor shower happens, to be on the look out for meteors that stand out." Dynamis sighed. "Let's hope that we have better luck with defeating Nyx than we did with Nemesis, my friends."
"There's a big difference in between the Nemesis situation, and the Nyx situation," Gingka said, smiling.
"And what's that, Gingka?" Kyoya asked.
Gingka smiled at Kyoya, both of them thinks as each other's brothers through their battles. "At least this time, we know about her and can prepare for her."
No one argued his statement, and with that, Ryo ended the conference call.
