The following weeks flew by. Every free moment that people weren't preparing for the World Tournaments, they were talking about it or going about daily routines. Those of the WBBA, those privy to the information at least, were still tracking down every lead about Nyx that they could.
But Jenna has been invited to go to Battle Island and battle other Bladers. She soon came to the front deck of the ship and looked at the horizon curiously when she heard some people nearby. She turned to look at the front deck with a curious smile when she saw the Legendary Bladers and their friends talking. But she smirked when she saw that Masamune and King had started arguing like brothers and started listening in from the shadows.
"-Call me when you get one Big Mouth!" King argued.
"Takes one to know one Big Mouth!" Masamune and King were shaking with their Blader's Spirits were about to be set aflame.
"What?!" exclaimed King with gritted teeth as the two boys faced each other and started shaking with their spirits on the rise.
As they continued bickering, Jenna chuckled softly at their friends' exaggeration. Some of them looked annoyed or amused, a couple facepalmed, or sweat-dropped at the duo's bickering. Though, Jenna felt somewhat amused by this and looked to see that they were arriving to the Battle Island.
She unnoticeably shifted into her Second Sight and her eyes started glowing bright golden as she looked at the Legendary Bladers: Gingka's aura is bright sky-blue. Kyoya's aura is bright green. Chris' aura is deep magenta. Kenta's aura is bright yellow. Yuki's aura is indigo. King's aura is bright red. Aguma's aura is deep purple. Dynamis' aura is violet. Lastly, Tithi's aura is yellow.
Jenna shifted out of her Second Sight and she could see many auras from the other Bladers, but not as powerful as the Legendary Bladers and the rare Fire Bladers that she had came across. But she frowned as she remembered that Hinote was injured in the arm. Jenna wanted to battle him, but she always felt uncomfortable when battling injured rivals. He's probably going to watch in the crowd with the spectators.
She shook her head and took out her beyblade with a warm smile. "Looks like we're finally here. Right, Tempest?" Her beyblade gleamed up at her and Jenna smiled at her partner.

Jenna walked out of the shadowed path that had a rocky archway over the entrance that leads to the clearing on top of the mountain. She was in a tournament battle that's known as the Tournament of Heroes that was found by the Roman Warriors of the Sun over a thousand years ago. She looked down and looked at the lush island below her. The island marched all the way up to the water, which glittered about a mile in the distance. Between here and there, Jenna simply couldn't process everything she was seeing. The island was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Roman architecture that probably has bey-stadiums, their marble columns gleaming in the faint firelight that reminded Irma of fireflies in the depths of the forest.
Jenna soon had back towards the mountaintop and found a large, spacious area that looks like a bey-stadium with some seats that reminded her of the ones in the Bey Arenas surrounding the area from a distance. But there's a few Roman statues surrounding the beystadium in a fair distance. Jenna could another archway that comes from the light. She sat down in the shadow of the statue of a lioness and started polishing her beyblade with her white cleaning rag with a smile.
Jenna looked up to see two boys on the other side of the beystadium after she was done polishing her partner and chuckled softly as she slipped her beyblade into her pocket as she looked back at the new arrivals. But Jenna recognized him immediately; The eldest one was Tsubasa Otori, the Eagle's Eye.
"Am I the first one here?" Tsubasa asked.
"Not exactly." Jenna stepped out of the shadows and looked at the wary boy in wary curiosity.
"What's your name?" asked Tsubasa warily. "I like to see who I am facing."
"Fair enough." She took her hood off her head and revealed herself to them. "I'm Jenna."
"The Tournament of Heroes has come to this! Out of all the many, many participants, two Bladers have actually made it to the summit, at this, the final battle!" Japan DJ announced from an helicopter and Jenna flinched as the spotlights blindsided her slightly. "The first Blader, who got past all the checkpoints and made it to the peak first in with the strength of the eagle, the Beautiful Eagle is... Tsubasa Otori!" He seemed calm in the spotlight. "And this is where things get interesting folks! His opponent is none other than... the adventurous and yet the mysterious Blader, Jenna!" She uncovered her face from the lights and eyed the area warily. "Jenna has gained a record of stellar performances in solo tournaments across the world. But she never participated in any world tournaments or team battles."
As the audience filled the steps to watch the battle, the two Bladers did a small talk with each other from across the bey-stadium. But Bao was curious to see Jenna talking to Tsubasa.
Bao looked at Jenna with wary curiosity and his expression was confused, but a faint glimmer of recognition entered his piercing golden-brown eyes at the sight of her. While his teammates and friends looked at him in concern.
They both loaded their partners into their launchers. "You ready?" She and Tsubasa raised their launchers over the beystadium.
"Three!" Jenna's eyes shone bright blue. "Two!" Tsubasa observed her and was ready. "One! Let it rip!" Jenna released her bey into the stadium in a fierce blue light and Tsubasa released his bey in a strong purple light.
Jenna watched as Tempest zoomed around the stadium with a bright blue light shining behind it. She smiled at the astonishing speed that Tempest is performing and the agility she's showing as Tempest bounced against the stadium. She felt sweat coming down from her brow as if she was having a ten miled run, it felt as if she's one with Tempest and was zooming around in the stadium.
But it wasn't long till Tempest made contact with Eagle and sent it flying, which startled pretty much everyone and Jenna smirked at that.
Tsubasa winced slightly and said to himself, "What... what incredible power. What if... she's a Legendary Blader?" Tsubasa looked over at her.
Jenna stared at him in confusion. "A Legendary Blader?" She tilted her head in curiosity and confusion. "What do you mean?" She looked back at her beyblade with a puzzled expression, but she looked back at her beyblade with a determined smile and shook off her confusion.
She waved her right arm in front of her as she silently called out to Tempest. Her bey stopped attacking Eagle and came back to spin at the edge of the bey stadium in front of her. "Whatever you were talking about, doesn't mean I won't give it my all, Legendary Blader or not!" Jenna felt her bey's spirit ignite deep inside of her and noticed that she was glowing along with her beyblade. "Go, Tempest! Attack Eagle with all of your might!" A beautiful white tigress had rose up from the bey and stared down at Tsubasa with her fierce blue eyes. "Special Move: Roar of the Storm!" She could see and feel the thunderstorm that spread above the bey stadium, the smoke appeared over the bey stadium as the tigress roared to the sky.
"Don't give up Eagle!" A determined purple eagle rose up from the bey and charged towards Tempest. "Special Move: Metal Wing Smash!" Jenna could see that Eagle had glided on the wind which causes it to glow on a bright purple aura which represented the strength it had gathered.
Tempest and Eagle charged at each other with full strength and crashed it into the side of the stadium with a massive explosion that shook the entire arena. The purple eagle of Eagle rose from its bey and flew towards Tempest, but it wasn't quick enough. Tempest hit Eagle again and pinned the eagle to the side of the stadium with its claws and fangs.
Jenna felt something deep within her soul set on fire and felt its warmth spread throughout her body. She couldn't see it, but a bright blue aura started glowing brightly behind her. Tsubasa was giving her a run for her money and she wanted nothing more than to beat him.
She chuckled and said, "You, you think I can't take a little wind?" Jenna smirked at Tsubasa playfully. "Many wildcats are known to live in all sorts of climates. They can live in forests, mountains, grasslands, and even deserts. So, a little fire doesn't scare me. Tempest!" She flashed a sly smile at Tsubasa and felt a little victorious when Tempest stopped running from Eagle's attacks and stood its ground at the bottom of the stadium. Eagle aimed another attack at Tempest and hit the tiger bey, but had no effect. Tempest took the hit and kept spinning, unfazed. If anything, it was absorbing each attack from Eagle.
In the next moment, everything changed. Tempest started glowing brighter and brighter until a flash of blue light had occurred from the beystadium. The blue light shone up towards the night sky, causing the tiger constellation to be aligned. Jenna saw her bey transform right in front of her eyes and was stunned by the light from the tiger constellation.
"Tempest!?" Jenna watched as it changed from an average-looking beyblade into something that looked much more amazing and powerful. Her eyes shone bright blue and her hair glowed bright blue as her resonance soon revealed itself from her. Her aura is burning bright blue from behind the girl. She felt it burn strong and bright like the ocean, but the strength and power of it has yet to be touched by the girl. "What's happening?" Tsubasa glanced at the girl across the bey stadium in amazement and looked at her beyblade that's still spinning in the bey stadium with the same amount of power. So, he was right about her and her beyblade after all. The star fragment did choose her too.
From what Jenna could see initially, her tiger beyblade transformed completely. The once-solid blue energy ring was now blue with thin white streaks like lightning bolts and the fusion wheel looked like it had a blue and white layers. However, the facebolt still has a tiger's face on it and the tip is more powerful than before. But to Jenna, her beyblade looked more beautiful and stronger than before.
"Now Tempest!" At her command, the tigress spirit of Tempest - who now has silver ornate armor - had pushed through, which sent Eagle flying out of the bey-stadium. Tempest and Jenna had clearly won the battle.
"And the winner is Tempesr and Jenna is the winner!" announced the Japan DJ.
"Alright!" Jenna caught Tempest with a bright smile. "Good job out there Tempest." She gently rubbed her partner's new layers. "Even though I have no idea what just happened. I'm glad it did." Tempest gleamed up at her and Sasha smiled at her partner, but she glanced at the crowd curiously.
She saw Team Dungeon Gym and Team GanGan Galaxy in the mix of the crowd. She had never met them before and only saw them on TV during the World Championships till now.
After Jenna had collected her medal, she took off into the forest when she was stopped by a short boy Blader with bright green hair and worried brown eyes. But Jenna recognized him immediately; he's Kenta Yumiya, the Legendary Blader of Summer.
"Jenna!" She looked over at Kenta warily and looked over her shoulder at him. "My friend, Gingka is also a Legendary Blader like you. There are thirteen Legendary Bladers in total. One blader is in the hands of the enemy, the person who will control the Black Sun that'll try to destroy the world again: Nyx. The twelve others are the Bladers chosen by the star fragment, whose duty it is to all band together to stop Nyx's revival and save the world!" Kenta's eyes filled with desperation as he pleaded. "Jenna, as a Legendary Blader with a piece of the star fragment inside your bey, you must lend your power and help the Legendary Bladers save the world! I beg of you!"
Jenna bowed her head and closed her eyes thoughtfully. Jenna ran a hand through her hair as she processed the information she just received. Thirteen Legendary Bladers, Nyx, a star fragment... it all sounded larger than life and too complicated to actually be true, but why would Kenta make all of this up? Even for a young kid, his imagination couldn't have come up with something this detailed. Even the Crazy Cat Guy called her a Legendary Blader a few months ago... and if he knew of this then it had to be true.
This star fragment, this power, chose her for a reason and entrusted her with a task and responsibility that was crucial. She was chosen to save the world. Who was she to go against the stars and the universe? Everything happened for a reason and she believed that if given an opportunity, she should use her strength and power to help others. Her choice was obvious: she would go and help his friends.
"I shall give you my aid," said Jenna with calm determination.
"Great!" Kenta exclaimed with a bright smile.
"But first, introduce me to your friends."
