CHAPTER NINE

Today was the tournament.

Today.

I was signed up and ready to go. All I was doing now was wait. The ready room to go and compete. Zeo and Masamune were staring at me with concerned looks. "Look, Zeo, Masamune, it will be okay. This Tempo is my new bey."

"But Toby...." Zeo replied.

"Don't worry you guys!" I reassuringly closed my eyes. Little did they know that tears were filling them.

"BLOCK B COMPETITORS ARE UP. BLOCK B COMPETITORS."

I turned to my friends. "That's us."

Together, we got in a circle formation. Raising our pointer fingers to the sky, we chanted. "Number one!"

Today was another Destroyer Dome tournament. This time, I planned to be number one. "Number one, Celeste."

As we all raised to the inside of the dome, the DJ announced the contestants. When he was finished, we were all ready.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Let it rip!"

When I launched tempo, she flew down fast. The bey gracefully hit the glass, but caused it to crack. "T-tempo! Control yourself!"

"What's this?" the DJ announced. "Toby is using Tempo? Where did he find this bey again?"

Tempo could not control herself. "Toby, let me open the black hole, please! This is a big tournament! I have to show your strength. We have to be number one!"

"Tempo! No!"

Tempo circled the dome, causing burn marks on the stadium. I heard the voice of Celeste in my head. "Tempo...No!"

"Celestial Dimension!"

Instantly, a black hole surrounded the stadium.

"Toby! Control your bey!" Zeo screamed.

"What are you doing?" Masamune yelled. "Are you trying to get us killed?!"

I couldn't. I had lost control of my bey. All I could do was stand there and watch everything unfold.

Every single bey in the dome was sucked into the hole. When the hole disappeared, every bey was gone except for one.

Celestial Tempo.

The bey's aura appeared. It was Celete's. She was was laying on the ground, crying. "I-I'm sorry Toby. I just destroyed every bey in this dome."

"The- the bey left spinning is T-Tempo!" the DJ announced. Silence filled the stadium. I looked around to find people flabbergasted and dumbfounded at the sights of no bey to be seen.

"Striker!" Masamune cried.

"Toby!" Masamune screamed. "Why did you do this to us? Do you think you can just come back with a super powerful bey and use it like nothing wrong will ever happen? That's not okay!"

Zeo was on his knees. "My Byxis...Toby, how could you do this?"

I watched as my Tempo's aura got up and fell down, disappearing. Celeste forced herself to stop spinning in a sleep-out. I took the ladder and grabbed tempo close to me. "Zeo, Masamune, and everyone else...I'm so sorry."

I quietly and quickly exited the entire stadium. Everybody glared at me as I exited. "I have to go somewhere where no one will criticize me."

I quickly ran home and locked myself in my room.
