Chapter 1

"Are you sure it was Pitch?" Jack Frost said to North, horrified. "We should've defeated him by now!" North shook his head. "Jack, there will always be fear, no matter what. We just have to stop it." "For exactly how many times?" Jack yelled back. Bunny nodded. "Y'know, he's got a point." He agreed with Jack. "We can't just charge in and fight Pitch every time he shows up. He might have a different tactic, mate." North froze. He had totally forgotten about that. "Like what?" He asked sheepishly. Tooth zipped over to Jack's side. "Pitch could find lots of ways to get back at us." She suggested, her mini Teeth flying alongside her, chattering worriedly.

Suddenly, a golden shape floated in between Jack and North. "Sandy! There you are!" North cried. "Where have you been?" Sandy made a sand image which looked like Pitch appear over his head. "You…saw Pitch?" North guessed. Sandy nodded. Jack's eyes got wide. "Where?" Sandy shrugged, and another sand image appeared over his head. It looked like a cylinder with something lumpy stuffed inside. The guardians all stared at the image. North scratched his head. "Uhh… " Bunnymund peered at the image to see it clearer. Suddenly, Tooth said, "Wait...I think…is that…sushi?" Sandy grinned and did the thumbs up. "Sushi?" Jack scoffed disbelievingly. "What does sushi have to do with Pitch unless he's eating it?" "Don't you know which country first invented sushi?" Tooth snapped. Then, it hit him. He turned to the globe to stare at one country where hundreds of lights were struggling to shine. Some were flickering out. "Japan." He whispered.

In Japan

"Gosh, what's happening?!" Miku Kitsuma screamed, as she directed her Beyblade Aqua Neptune to hit Doji's Dark Wolf in the side. The Beyblade battling out in the streets was going more and more out of control. And worse, Doji and Ryuga seemed to be getting some help. A huge, scary black bear was rampaging the streets, making people run for their homes and also destroying everything in sight. Hyoma had to dodge fast just before the bear could swipe at him. "What in the world is this?" He yelled. "Things have been going weird today, you know!" Kyoya called back, launching Leone's special move, King Lion Tearing Blast at L-Drago, as Ryuga, standing on a building, laughed maniacally. "GO, L-DRAGO!" Lightning split the sky, making children scream in fright. "FIRST GINGKA IS KNOCKED DOWN BY A CAR LAST WEEK, AND NOW DOJI'S BACK?!" Yu shrieked, desperately trying to dodge falling debris that the bear was knocking, as Libra wobbled. "I can't Stand this any longer, and neither can Libra!"

"We have to try!" yelled a voice. Standing on top of an overturned car was Kyoya's cousin, Kairi. Her blue eyes were ablaze. "No matter what, we can't let them ruin our blader's spirit!" Suddenly, something dark shot past her. Kairi gasped. A black horse galloped past her, neighing threateningly at the other bladers. Both Kenta and Yu screamed in fright and hid behind Hyoma and Tsubasa, who gaped at the sight. "What is that?"

"Blader's spirit, how quaint!" Laughed a voice. Some grey looking guy with a black costume came into view. His voice didn't sound like Ryuga's but it sent chill's up everyone's spines. "It'll be snuffed out before you know it, bladers." He said with a sneer. Then, more horses joined the first. Kyoya, Tsubasa, and the rest of the bladers were surrounded. They were shocked. "As long as you have fear, you're finished." He said simply. Then, the dark horses charged forward like a thick, black wave.

But suddenly, the air grew cold.
