Davis and the others decided to enter in a tournament in order to find the fourth Star Blader. They were outside the city where it was being held.
"Welcome all as we are about to begin the Ultra Beyblade Tournament. You can call me Blader D.J." A guy said wearing a blue bandana with a green shirt a spiral on it, red scarf, and black pants and gloves. All the bladers arrived with Davis and his friends keeping their eyes out.
"Do you see our blader Trey?" Sam said.
"It's hard to tell. I didn't get a good look at the guy." Trey said.
"We do have a clue. We just need to keep our eyes out for an emerald flash." T.K. said.
"Yeah, but that could still be anybody." Cody said. Meanwhile Yolei, Kari, Ken, Rimando, and the digimon were taking their seats in the stand.
"While the boys are battling we can gather data on everyone here to narrow our search down." Yolei said.
"Uh oh, look who's here." Rimando said. They looked through the crowd and spotted Escalon.
"Oh no." Kari said.
"We should have known he would show his face." Ken said. Escalon was keeping his eyes on the competition.
"Wow this is so cool. Thank you for choosing me as your partner." A little boy said.
"Just remember. I'll deal with all battling and you stay out of the way Tony." Escalon said.
"Now let's go over the rules." D.J. said. "This is a tag team tournament so each battle will be a two on two. If just one blader loses the team loses. Now we will begin the first part. If you all will turn to the stadium." They all looked at their battle field and it was all sand.
"It's all sand." Davis said.
"That's going to make it harder on the momentum." Ross said.
"Yes that would be a problem." They turned around facing Escalon.
"A problem for you. Sand is home to my Scorpio." Escalon said. "Once I get that blader with emerald flash I'm coming after you two."
"Ain't happening Bug Boy." Ross said and Escalon looked up.
"Looks like that's happening sooner than you think." Escalon said. They looked up and saw Escalon and Tony were up against Davis and Ross.
Already? What are the odds?" Davis said.
"Take your seats everyone! We're about to start the first round and I'm getting chills." D.J. said. The tournament started and there was one battle after another, one win with another. Meanwhile Davis and Ross were getting ready for their battle.
"Who would have thought you guys would be facing against him already." Veemon said.
"I have no doubt you guys can beat him, but the problem will be that sand. You won't be able to move like you usually do." Yolei said.
"Yeah. How are we going to handle that?" Davis said.
"Don't worry about it. I have an idea." Ross said.
"Really?" Davis said.
"Just leave everything to me." Ross said. Their battle soon came and all four approach the ring.
"Here go. The next match is between Ross and Davis vs Escalon and Tony." D.J. said.
"Now remember to stay out of the way." Escalon said.
"Yes sir." Tony said.
"Why is he partnered with a kid?" Wormmon said.
"He must only be using that kid to move in the tournament." Ken said.
"Good luck Sweetie, you can win this." Kari cheered and Davis gave her the peace sign with a smirk.
"Hey keep your eyes on the prize." Ross said.
"Oh sorry. So what is your plan?" Davis said.
"I've got it all taken care of. All you really have to do is sit back and watch." Ross said and made some kind of adjustment to Leviathan.
"You have plan? Whatever it is it won't work on me." Escalon said.
"Here we go." D.J. said.
"3…2…1! Let it rip!" Everyone in the stadium said as the four beys were launched.
"Go now my Scorpio." Escalon said as Scorpio moved easily through the sand.
"Meet the attack Leviathan." Ross said. Scorpio rammed right into Leviathan, but Leviathan was able to hold its ground.
"Look at that. Scorpio moves easily through the sand, but couldn't get Leviathan to budge." D.J. said.
"Ross?" Davis said.
"It's all okay Davis. Why don't you keep yourself busy and play with the kid?" Ross said.
"Okay I guess. Dragix get that kid." Davis said and Dragix charged.
"Move away." Tony said to his bey as it moved out of the way.
"Come back here." Davis said and soon it became a game of chase between the two.
"Don't lose this for me kid." Escalon said.
"Don't turn away from me. Now it's my turn to attack. Leviathan!" Ross shouted and Leviathan moved in so fast and manage to hit against Scorpio surprising everyone.
"No way! The sand didn't slow him down at all. How come?" Escalon said.
"Take another look. Maybe you'll see it." Ross said as Leviathan attacked Scorpio again.
"I don't get it. How come the sand isn't affecting Leviathan?" T.K. said and Yolei was doing some analyzing.
"I found it. It's the performance tip." Yolei said. "Leviathan has blades on every piece of it. The ones on the performance tip are the only ones adjustable and up until now they've been closed. Now that the blades are open it's scraping away the sand."
"But when did Ross do it?" Kari said and remembered he adjusted his bey before the battle started. "So this is what he was planning."
"Amazing. It looks like we have a real battle between Scoprio and Leviathan." D.J. said.
"Nice going Ross. You can move more easily." Davis said.
"Even if the sand isn't affecting your movement I'll still win this." Escalon said as the two clashed against each other.
"Looks like Ross can handle him." Davis said and noticed that Dragix was still chasing Tony's bey. "Now if only this kid will man up and fight."
"Sorry, but Escalon said he handle all the battling." Tony said.
"Okay I've been taking it easy on you kid, but no more because I'm getting irritated." Davis said. Dragix poured more power into its speed and manage to hit the bey as it was sent flying.
"Dragix manage to score a hit. Could this be the end with a stadium out?" D.J. said.
"Uh oh! Move quickly Scorpio." Escalon said. Scorpio raced in the stadium and launched up keeping Escalon's partner from going out and kept it going.
"Escalon thank you." Tony said.
"I told you not to mess this up for me!" Escalon scolded at him.
"I'll give you points for helping out your partner, but not much since it's for your own selfish reasons." Ross said. "Now go get him Leviathan!" Leviathan moved in and attacked Scorpio as it was being pushed back to the edge of the stadium.
"I won't give up that easily." Escalon said as Scoprio was able to break free and moved away.
"I think it's time you learned what defeat is like." Ross said.
"Say what?" Escalon said.
"You had the choice of running away, but this time you have no choice, but to stay and fight and the one time you do you will be defeated." Ross said as Leviathan started glowing blue.
"Whoa. Something tells me I better get out of the way." Davis said as Dragix moved back.
"This is mine and Leivathan's new special move that I've been working on. Special move! Delta Sword Slash!" Ross said. The blue Leviathan rose from the bey as the bey itself was surrounded by energy rings and a wave was form. Leviathan crashed into Scorpio and knocked it out.
"It's all over now." D.J. said.
"Way to go." Davis said as the two high fived. During their battle they were being watched by two men. One about their height with the brown hair with blonde highlights on his bangs, marigold shirt with a fur color around his neck, and brown pants and shoes with leather straps hanging off the side. The other one was about few feet taller and bigger in muscle. He had brown spikey hair with sideburns, a dark blue shirt with the sleeves torn off and a purple sash around his waist, black pants with the bottom torn up, and a necklace made out of shark teeth.
"He certainly has some power. I wonder how the other one is like." The big one said.
"I think we found an opponent that actually made this interesting." The small one said. The tournament continued.
"Attack Sapphire Phoenix!" Sam said.
"Go Toxic Cobra!" Trey said as they both knocked out their opponents' beys.
"That's it. Sam and Trey are now moving to the next round." D.J. said.
"So far we haven't found anyone with that flash." Rimando said.
"Maybe we were wrong and he didn't enter or he moved on without us noticing." Hawkmon said.
"It's time now for the final match." D.J. said. "We've got T.K. and Cody going against Beo and Hizoki." T.K. and Cody stepped forward with their opponents, which were the two from before.
"A pleasure. I'm Beo and the big one is Hizoki."
"Let's do this T.K." Cody said.
"Right." T.K. said as all four got ready.
"3...2…1! Let it rip!" Everyone cheered as all the beys were moving. Hizoki's bey was blue and black and Beo's bey was all green.
"Hey guys listen to this. Hizoki's bey is a balance type named Tidal Shartus and Beo's is a defense type named Emerald Genus." Yolei said as she was analyzing the two bey.
"Emerald!" Davis said.
"Let's end this right now!" Beo shouted as his bey created a bright flash that rose up to the sky and blew Cody and T.K. back.
"That's the green flash." Trey said. T.K. and Cody were knocked back with their beys already out of the ring.
"Unreal. It's over before it begun." D.J. said.
"That was just a preview. Soon Hizoki and I will stand at the very top and become champions." Beo said. The two grabbed their beys and walked away in victory.
"Looks like we found him." Ross said.
"Yeah. Now the question is what are we going to do about him?" Davis said.
