Jin Ryu's new friend.

Beywheelz was always fun for Team Estralla. Everyone won and lost, learned from their battles, and of course, gained more Beywheelz spirit. But…what about behind Beywheelz? They have issues outside of Beywheelz…right? Jin wondered this as he was walking down a street. It had a pale brick ground and houses lined both sides of the street. Jin was tired and wanted to do something different for a change. …a nap. Yeah, a nice nap will do! He was mentally grinning and started jogging to his home. He stopped jogging when he heard cheering and laughter. It's probably just another Beywheelz fight. He thought. But, he walked around the corner anyway. There was a park nearby. He walked up to the park gates, where everyone was cheering excitedly. The gates were closed, preventing anyone from entering the park. Jin tilted his head. What is this for? He wondered. He walked up to the gates. He peered through the black bars. The grass was dead; the trees were a bit orange. Jin couldn't see much else. "JIN!" a voice called. It was a female's voice, sounded like someone he knew. He tried to get out of the crowd. He managed to get out, barely avoiding stepping on other's feet. He looked around, and wondered who had called him. "Jin!" the girl's voice said again. Jin looked to his right. A little far away, there was a young girl waving to him. From Jin's sight, she had blue hair with calmed, brown eyes. She wore a pink and white vertical striped shirt and a jean skirt. "Nicole?" Jin said. He ran to her. Nicole smiled. "Hey, Jin! Are you excited as everyone else?" She said. Jin tilted his head. "'Excited'? For what?" He asked. Nicole raised her right hand and gasped. "You mean, you don't know?!" "Know what?" "Well, tomorrow, the Magical Galaxy Pegasus festival is being held at the park." Nicole said. She sounded happy. "'Magical Galaxy Pegasus festival'?" Jin looked more puzzled. "Wow, Jin. It's a shame you know nothing about it. But! I am happy to tell you!" Jin sweat dropped. "The Magical Galaxy Pegasus festival is amazing. It comes every twenty years. They have amazing roller coaster rides, swings rides; teacup rides…any you can think of! And lots of food! And prize games!" Nicole's eyes sparkled as she babbled. "Um, could you tell me the reason behind this festival?" Jin asked. "Of course! We have it because of the legendary bey called 'galaxy Pegasus'. It's in legend that a young boy named 'Gingka Hagane' was the king of metal Beyblades. For some reason, that story popped up in Beywheelz in 2003!" Slow down, slow down! What is this about a legendary bey…? Jin said mentally. He was a bit confused. Nicole gave Jin a strange smile. "What is it?" Jin asked. "You know…there is a discount." Nicole said. "Discount?" Nicole nodded. "You see, there is a bey tournament inside the festival. To get inside, you have to pay fifty dollars! But…if you were to test your luck and temporarily trade your bey for a Pegasus, then DISCOUNT!" Jin rubbed his forehead. "I'll pay the fifty. Besides, I can't battle without drago." Nicole nodded. "They say Pegasus is the strongest type of bey in the universe." Jin stiffened. All this talk about Pegasus… Sho Tenma came into Jin's mind.

Sho cackled. "Oh, come now, Jin! Have you given up already?!" His voice was dark and evil. Jin was kneeling on the floor, his bey broken in two. "You don't deserve to become a bey-wheeler!" Dark flames surrounded Jin, and ghastly moans could be heard. "…stop…make it stop…" Jin mumbled. Sho laughed evilly.

Nicole snapped her fingers in Jin's face. Jin blinked back to reality. "S-sorry…yes?" He said. "I said, 'have you seen Leon?'" Jin looked down at the ground, then back at Nicole. "No…he and Jake were fighting each other earlier." He sighed and raised his head. "They are really childish." He said. Nicole laughed. "Got that right." Jin stretched. "Well…I have to get going, now…" Nicole waved. "See you tomorrow, Jin!" Jin nodded and turned around. He walked home, the sunset turning orange. He looked at the ground, eyes sad. Why am I having bad dreams about Sho? I know he's anything but evil… His thoughts were interrupted by a bonk on the head. "Oh, really nice walking there, man! EYES UP!" That voice…that annoying voice… Jin scowled a faded pink on his cheeks. He looked up, and sure enough, the young man he bumped into was Glen. His thin, brown eyes locked on Jin's. His spikey red hair blew in the wind. "Stop blocking my way!" He said. Glen pushed Jin to the ground, laughing. Jin stayed cool and silent, just staring at his 'bully'.
