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.

I put my phone back in my pocket and leaned against a nearby railing as I waited for my friends. I can’t wait to watch Arman and the others battle. I can tell that they’ve been training so hard, and I know they’re going to give it everything they’ve got.
But more than anything, there’s one blader I’m most excited to see, Delta. He’s always been incredible, but now? Delta is on a whole other level now. He’s stronger, faster and more intense than ever. I bet he’s even stronger than the last time I saw him battle.
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 shake my head, trying to push the thoughts away, but it’s hard. Watching from the sidelines feels... wrong. My friends are out there chasing their dreams, climbing higher and higher. And me? I’m stuck on the sidelines. Beyblading is my dream too. It’s who I am. And right now? I’m not even a part of it.
“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.
