"Are you sure this is safe?" Kenta asked, shivering as he and the other legendary bladers made their way through a misty forest. He jumped as Aguma patted his shoulder.

"C'mon, Kenta!" King said, laughing. "What's there to be afraid of? Ghosts?!" He faked fear and jumped.

"Shut up, King," Kyoya said.

"Kyoya's right," Dynamis said, his rather piercing gaze staring at King, who laughed.

They walked in silence, Yuki trailing behind Gingka in the back. Tithi walked next to Dynamis, holding Chris' hand.

Sudden rustling in the trees ended the silence, sending Tithi and Kenta behind Aguma, who grabbed his launcher.

A feathery, scaly tail hung from the trees ahead. If you followed the scarred white scales across boughs, it lead to a large, feathered ruff and scaly head. It shifted, revealing one green eye and a red one. Opening its mouth to yawn, it revealed sharp, reddened fangs, and a forked tongue.

It looked over at the group and ruffled its feathers in its ruff, hissing. It quickly jumped to another tree, then a scream came from the back.

"Yuki!"Gingka called, grabbing his friend's pale hand from the sharp fangs. The creature leapt over the group, landing in a cobra like pose. It hissed and let out shrill shriek. From the green eye spurted metal, which began forming a helmet of metal. Gingka launched Pegasus, but it barely left a scratch on the shiny metal of the mask.

"Run!" Kenta said, launching Saggitario. The creature hissed as the bey hit its single bat wing, the feathered one holding onto a tree with sharp claws. Everyone ran, but Gingka, while he was running with the others, looked back to see Kenta being coiled in the snake-like creature's body. And the last thing Kenta did when he began passing out was mouth "sorry".
