Delta's POV

“Hey Delta! Have you heard about the beyblade battle royal in France?” Valt said with a cheerful and eager look on his face.

“I heard about it. Why?”

“I heard there's something special about this tournament. There will be a new stadium! And well known bladers all around the world who battled before will come back face to face! I got invited of course! And I know you got invited too, you're the current world champion after all!” Valt said with a grin. “But really, you should watch your title Delta. Cause I know a lot of powerful bladers”, Valt said as he took a bite of his biscuit.

When I hear his statement, I take out Devolos from my pocket. “I know. I will make sure no one takes my title”, my grip on Devolos tightens as I look at my bey. Valt looks at me and decides to change the subject.

“Delta, do you have a friend who beyblades?” Valt asks me with a curious look on his face. I thought for a moment and shook my head.

“You are my only friend who beyblades so far”, I answered.

“What? How about Blint Devoy? Isn't he your friend?”

“What?” Blint Devoy? I remember him. Back then, before I became the world champion, he was one of the Risen 3, just like me. That Dusk Belkesh bladers is.. honestly, strange. He was so obsessed about finding my true self to complete his art. I don't understand how artist's minds work.

“No. Me and Blint Devoy are not friends”, I said simply.

Valt humm in response. “There's probably somebody out there who you like to be friends with. Hmm… Ohhhh I know!! I have a lot of friends that you might like to be friends with!! They are also gonna come to the battle royal too!! You will love them!!” Valt said with a happy expression on his face as he looked up. I saw a tiny spark in his eyes, perhaps thinking about his friends. Valt looks really happy talking about his friends. Well whoever they are, I hope they are good opponents.

“Sure”

Third Person’s POV

It's the day of the beginning of the battle royal. Known bladers from around the world who beyblade before come back to battle again to get the title as the world champion. A certain blader is walking towards the stadium with his little brother on his side.

“Whoaaa!! The stadium is hugee!!”, the younger one said happily to his big brother. His big brother looks at him and smiles. The older blader grabs his bey from his pocket and looks at it intently, as if the bey and it's owner have a private bond. The younger one watches his brother and decides to interrupt their bonding, because they are still outside.

Arman! We should go inside the stadium right now. You can chat with Ashindra later”, the younger blader interrupts him by giving his big brother a gentle pat on his shoulder. Arman got startled and blinked a few times. Arman finally comes back to his senses and nods.

“You're right Taka. Let’s go inside!” They walk inside the stadium and look at the stadium in awe. The stadium has big screens, a lot of seats for the audience and a new beyblade stadium. There's no audience in the stadium, only workers who manage the stadium can be seen, working before the battle starts. One of the workers led the two bladers to the waiting room where the bladers can practice, rest or chat with other bladers before the battle.

They arrive at the room and the room is quite lively. They see a few familiar faces and one of them is Valt, the legendary blader, chatting with his friends. While the two bladers are looking around the room, a familiar female voice calls for them.

“Arman! Taka!” A girl with short blond hair with 2 red stripes and light blue eyes calls for them as she approaches the two bladers.

Ichika! I don't know you are here too”, Taka said with a surprised look on his face. She answers with a grin and replies, “Of course I'm here! I’m here to beyblade too, you know?”

“Hi Ichika, it's been a while huh? You changed a lot”, Arman said as he looked at Ichika’s new features. Ichika answers with a soft chuckle and replies, “I hope it's a good change, because I don't feel any different. You, however Arman, look way stronger than the last time I saw you. I hope, in this battle royal, I can battle you”, Ichika ends her sentence with a soft smile on her lips, while Arman gives her a small nod.

“Taka! You look older and mature now”, Ichika said again as she looked at Taka’s features. Taka is getting older so of course he will look more mature. Taka answers with an awkward chuckle and rubs the back of his neck, feeling a bit shy now. Arman smiles softly, feeling really glad to meet an old friend of his. Arman misses the time when they were still the members of the Victories, so many good memories… But somebody is missing in the group…

His thoughts got interrupted by a familiar annoying male voice. “Hey guys!!! Remember me??”, a blader with short blond hair, red eyes and wearing blue-framed glasses said as he grins.

“Of course we remember you Fumiya”, Arman said simply. Then somebody sneaked up behind Arman and said, “boo!” Arman let out a surprised gasp and looked behind him. The person who scared Arman is a male with mint-green hair that curves like wings and fair skin. The person shows his mischievous grin.

“Hi Arman!” The person said.

“Ugh! Hi Pheng..” Arman groans, feeling a bit annoyed that someone scared him. Fumiya laughs so hard which makes Arman even more pissed. Ichika, however, tries to suppress her laugh. Arman only rolls his eyes while Pheng grins.

“Wow Pheng! You're here too?” Taka said, to which Pheng answered, “Of course I am Taka! Don't want to miss a big beyblade battle like this!”

Pheng looks at Arman, Ichika, Taka and Fumiya one by one. “Wow. I never knew that I would find my old friends here. It's good to see you guys again. Small world huh?”, Pheng said again with a genuine smile.

Fumiya, who never interacts with Pheng Hope, answers “Hah! Who are you? I don't recall having you as my friend”. Ichika slaps behind Fumiya’s head and says, “shut up Fumiya! Everybody here is our friend okay?!”

Fumiya winces in pain because of her slap and rolls his eyes. “Fine, fine. I guess I can consider you as my friend”. Pheng Hope only answers with a thumbs up.

Then Pheng Hope feels someone is missing, he looks around and looks at Arman.

Dante isn't here yet?” Pheng said as he tilted his head. Arman finally realized it. Dante isn't here yet, no wonder Arman felt something was missing.

“Oh right! Dante! I wonder where he is now. It's been so long since we haven't seen Dante”, Taka said as he looked around to find Dante. Dante loves beyblading, especially when the beyblade tournament has Delta battling too. Dante is the sunshine in the group, the one who makes the group more lively. They wonder where he is now. They hope that he comes to the tournament too.
