Tsubasa, Yu, and Gingka followed Dumon as he dashed through the streets. The bracelet he wore would glow dimmer or brighter with every turn he took. He seemed to prefer when the light was brighter coming off the red crystal of the bracelet. The strange light confused the boys as they followed a ways behind the male.

"Where are you going?!" Gingka shouted to the boy.

"To find those missing friends Star was talking about," Dumon answered as he glanced back. "If my crystal's glow is any sign, we're getting pretty close." Tsubasa was confused by what the gray-haired boy said, but didn't question it. Dumon and Star's very existence was far too confusing for words.

"Bu-bu-bu-bull! Where in the world did these two come from?!" Benkei's voice shouted. "One minute our beys are flying at each other, the next we have two more kids to blow out of them!"

"Just keep going," Kyoya's voice groaned. "Maybe they're with the two that came out of Pegasus and Anubius." Dumon seemed to pick up the pace towards the voices, the bracelet glowing ever brighter; the boys following him did the same. They met up with the owners of the voices, along with two boys that they were carrying. One of them had tan skin and dark brown hair that covered one of his eyes; he was about Kyoya's height. The other was around Benkei's size and also had tanned skin; he had a sort of spiked green mohawk. Dumon gasped, clearly recognizing them.

"Girag, Alito," he breathed, running up to them, taking Alito's limp form from Kyoya's shoulders. "I can take Alito, but Girag's way too big for any of us besides you, um..."

"Name's Benkei," the Bull blader grinned, despite having Girag leaning on his shoulders. "I can handle carrying this guy."

"So you've finally woken up," Kyoya scoffed. "Did that other girl wake up, too? I'm tired of having you people make our beys misbehave, and then pop out of them."

"Don't expect us to get too comfortable around you," Dumon glared back. "As for your beyblades, we never asked to be sealed inside magic spinning tops. But, we can save the argument for after we bring these two to safety."


Dynamis, Kenta, and Yuki followed on the ground as Star leaped from rooftop to rooftop. She was surprisingly fast, and that gave the boys following her some difficulty. Cats started running past them more and more often the more they followed the girl. A certain memory taunted Yuki, but he and the other boys pressed on.

"Why are you following me down there?" Star called down to them. "If you took the high path like me, you wouldn't be so slow!"

"We're not as fast as you are," Yuki panted. "Nor are we as agile." The girl just rolled her eyes and sped up.

Who is she after? Dynamis asked himself. Who was she even talking about? He was too focused on keeping up with the female to ask her those questions. Once she stopped on a roof, the three boys pursuing her used a ladder of a nearby building to reach her.

"Meow. I see you know this girl who suddenly came out of my Lynx," a voice purred, causing Yuki's blood to run cold. He knew the voice of the feline-fanatic blader that assaulted him when he first met Gingka and the gang. His suspicions were correct as they reached the roof, seeing Johannes as Star stared him down with powerful authority. At Johannes' feet was another girl, whose gray hair was styled like cat ears; her hairstyle and glasses made her look much like Dumon.

"Yes, quite well in fact. Hand over my friend, and you can go free like the wildcat you are," Star offered in a chilling tone. "Is that a deal?"

"Hmm, whatever. You can have the girl," the Lynx blader decided. "My bey was having issues before she came out, anyway." He seemingly vanished into thin air, and Star walked over to the unconscious girl.

"At least your okay, Cathy," she whispered, lifting the gray-haired girl to her shoulders. A dark, swirling portal appeared in front of Star as she turned back to the boys. "I'll be at the building where you left me and Dumon," she notified before both she and the cat-like girl vanished into the portal.


"So there are even more people like the ones who came out of our beys?" Kyoya inquired to Gingka's father.

"That appears to be the case," Ryo confirmed. "And it seem that the first two to come out, Star and Dumon, happen to know all these people that have been reported to have exploded from beyblades."

"But how exactly did they get into our beys in the first place?" Tsubasa asked. "I'm pretty sure Johannes and Benkei aren't Legendary Bladers, so it couldn't be the Star Fragments." The door opened as Star and Dumon entered the room.

"Cathy, Girag and Alito are alright now, but still unconscious," Dumon reported. "All we can do is find anyone else who's coming up while we wait."

"Sounds like you two are anxious to find your friends," Mr. Hagane observed. "I've already sent out a report to bring any and all people who exploded from a misbehaving beyblade as soon as they're in good enough condition to travel. WBBA helicopters will bring them here so you all can be in the same place."

"Good idea," Star nodded. "If any old enemies are out there somewhere, we'll need to know where they are so they don't bring Armageddon in a strange world that knows next-to-nothing about what they can pull off." She suddenly tensed again. "Three more are surfacing, and this time all in the same place."

"Can you make out their decks?" Dumon inquired. Star closed her eyes to concentrate.

"I can make out... Chronomaly... Gimmick Puppet, and..." Her eyes flew open, glowing through her black fringe. "... Space," she breathed. She instantly spun around and dashed out the door.

"Star, wait up!" Dumon yelled as he and the other teens ran after her.

Star rushed through the streets with the amazing speed and agility that she acquired from her personal dark times. The others found it difficult to keep up with her as she dashed through streets and back alleys. By the time she came to a temporary stop, the others found her at the old Dark Nebula headquarters. Within a few seconds of them catching up with her, Star took off inside the building, striking up yet another chase for the other teams. She weaved through the abandoned building's corridors with precise accuracy, stopping at the room where the failed bladers were thrown; where Yu once was. She walked inside, and the others looked in to see her with three boys, all in medieval-style clothing.

The youngest was dressed in bright red, and had pinkish hair; on his wrist was a cuff that had a pinkish-red jewel inside. The middle brother's clothes were cream-colored, and the jewel of his cuff was purple; he had tawny-yellow and maroon hair, as well as a cross-like scar on his face. The eldest wore deep blue, and his hair was long and silver; the jewel of his cuff was sky blue, and he seemed opposite, yet identical to Star.

"Whoever had them in their beys must've thrown them in here and ran off," Star guessed, lifting the oldest boy and slinging his arm over her shoulders. "But that can wait. For now, let's get these guys to the apartment building."
