Dante's POV
Phew, I made it. I glance at the clock on my phone, my chest rising and falling as I catch my breath. Just in time. The bey battle's about to start, and I wasn’t going to miss this for the world!! I step into the bey stadium, Just in time before the bey battle starts. I look around me. There’s already so many people but no sight of Arman and the others. I open the group chat and start typing.
***
The Gen Rise Squad!! 😎🔥
Dante : @everyone where r u guysss??
Arman : we’re in the waiting room
Taka : yeaa

I chuckle softly and tuck my phone back into my pocket, leaning against the rail nearby. My heart’s still pounding. I can’t wait to see the battles. I know Arman and the others have been training like crazy. They’re gonna crush it out there. But more than that…
I’m excited to see Delta.
He’s stronger now. I’ve seen the clips. The fierce look in his eyes, the unstoppable force of his launches. He’s intense, calculated, powerful. He’s not the same Delta from before… and honestly, watching him now?
It kinda blows me away.
But..
It feels a bit weird to just watch, though. My bey… Dragon. I glance down at my empty hands then at my bag, where Dragon is rested. It’s been 2 years since he broke during that battle. Two long years without Dragon, without my partner that carried me through so many victories, challenges, and adventures.
I try to smile, but it’s hard. Being on the sidelines, it’s not where I belong. Beyblading isn’t just a hobby. It’s not just something I did for fun. It’s who I am.
“Dante!” Arman’s voice snaps me out of it. I look up, and there he is, weaving through the crowd with Taka, Pheng, and Ichika trailing behind him.
“Hey!” I call out, forcing a grin as I wave them over.
“You look like you’ve been lost in thought,” Ichika says, raising an eyebrow as they approach.
“Me? You’re just seeing things,” I say, rubbing the back of my head. “Just pumped for the battles.”
Taka smirks. “Good, cause we’re gonna crush it out there. You better be ready to cheer your lungs out.”
“Totally!” I reply, my voice steady, even though the ache in my chest hasn’t gone away.
“So.. where are we gonna sit?” Arman asks.
“Front row, duh,” Taka says. “Gotta see the action up close.”
“Front row is the only way to watch a battle!” Pheng adds with a big grin.
