"You can't be serious"Valt yelled.
"I am dead serious Valt,Shu happened to battle Free but lost and since then he has gone missing"Wakiya said as Valt's eyes widen.
"Shu"Valt yelled.
"Oh Valt"Sasha tried to calm him down.
"Do you have any idea about where he is?"Valt asked.
"No,but i have heard that he was last spotted in mexico"Wakiya said.
"Then we are leaving for Mexico"Valt said shocking them.
"But Valt you are not prepared to go"Kit told him.
"Yes and other than that it will take a little time for bc sol's plane to arrive"Chris said.
"You don't need to worry about that"Wakiya said and pointed towards the window at his back.Everyone's eyes widened as the big plane landed on bc sol backyard.
"I am here too"Daigo said as he showed himself
"Daigo,you too"Rantaro asked.
"Shu's our friend and we will search for him together"Daigo said as Valt,Rantaro and Wakiya nodded.
"Let's go"Valt said as they were about to leave when Rickson said "Valt let us go too"
"No Rickson i want you guys to stay here in my absence and keep bc sol safe"Valt said and turned as he,Rantaro,Daigo and Wakiya went to the plane.The members of bc sol were watching them as they left.
'Good luck,Valt' Sasha thought as she held her hand on her chest.Chris hugged her.
Then it is shown that Valt,Daigo and Rantaro are watching a video of Shu's battle which Wakiya has recorded.
"That was his last league battle,after that he disappeared"Wakiya said.
"But Shu is one of the world's best bladers.Many even consider him to be able to take on the big 5,why would he just disappear?"Daigo wondered aloud.
"I know my friend,there must be some reason for his disappearance and we are going to find it"Valt said as they nodded.The plane continued on its way to Mexico.
After landing on mexico,they began wondering around the place to find some clue when Valt and Rantaro saw a familiar face.
"Cuza"Both of them exclaimed confusing Wakiya and Daigo.
"Valt,Honchow"Cuza exclaimed as he went to them and he and Valt shaked hands.Cuza pet bird also also exclaimed Valt,Rantaro
"Who is he Valt?"Wakiya asked.
"He is Cuza Ackerman,He is one of Top Wand's members,the German representatives.And Cuza these are my friends Wakiya and Daigo"Valt said as Daigo nodded to him while Wakiya grinned at him arrogantly with him returning the favour.
"Correction,Valt i used to be Top wand's member now i am only a blader,who doesn't belong to any team"Cuza said.
"Okay"Valt replied.
"So,What are you guys doing in Mexico?"Cuza asked.Valt explained hin everything.
"I see,hey i will also help your in finding your friend.After all a friend of Valt is a friend of mine"Cuza said.
"Wait a sec-"Wakiya couldn't finish as Honchow beat him and welcomed Cuza to the team.
"Fine,You can come with us"Wakiya said groaning.Then they continued their search.
Finally,they hear about an organization named Snake-Pit,an underground training facility.
"Valt,From this data Snake Pit is in the jungles of Mexico"Wakiya told them.
"Let's go there"Valt said as the plane took off.They were searching from the sky when they noticed some masked guy standing near a beystadium.
"Land there"Wakiya referred to the grass near the place.The plane landed and Valt and his friends got out.
"Hey,Who are you?"Rantaro shouted at the blader.
"I am Red Eye and this is Legend Spryzen"Red eye said showing them the evolved spryzen.Valt thought that the red eye name seemed familiar,but he didn't remember where as he was too angry.
"Why do you have Shu's bey?"Valt lashed out at him.
"Valt Aoi,Shu Kurenai was a weakling and Spryzen deserves to be with a strong blader like me"Red eye said.
"You,Fine battle me right now"Valt challenged him.
"No,not yet.You haven't proved yourself against my soldiers.Just being number one in the world isn't enough"Red eye shocking them as first time someone dared to refuse Valt's challenge.Red eye leaves from the place as a screen appears in front of Valt and his friends.
"Valt Aoi,I am the owner of snake pit"A masked man said
"What"Valt yelled.
"Calm down,I am just going to make it clear to you.There is a gate in front of you.As you open it you will enter into snake pit where you will face the shadow bladers they have the shadow counterparts of your blades.If you defeat them,then only you shall face red eye"He finished as the screen disappeared.
"Uhh,So Valt what should we do?"Cuza asked.
"We are going to go inside,what else.We will defeat those shadows and defeat red eye.Then we will take back spryzen and ask about shu from them"Valt said as they nodded and went inside.There they saw high tech training machines and they saw that a particular boy was running too fast.
"Hey,you"Valt called out out to him as they approached the boy.The boy was shocked to see Valt Aoi.
"Valt Aoi, I-i am Boa Alcazaba"Boa said introducing himself.
"Pleasure to meet you"Valt said.
"But what are you guys doing at a such place?"Boa asked .Valt told him about that man.
"That man is our trainer and master.And if you asking about where to meet the shadow bladers then go there"Boa said pointing to a door as Valt and the others nodded and ran into it.Boa watched as Valt disappeared from his side, Valt Aoi.
Meanwhile Valt and his friends are running through a room when the lights suddenly turn on and another mysterious masked blader appears in front of them.
"Huh"They gasp as Valt and his friends stop in their way.
"I am the shadow blader,Yellow eye and this is shadow Roktavor"He said as showed the shadow counterpart of roktavor.
"i will take you on"Rantaro said as the battle began but Rantaro lost.
"Huh"Rantaro was shocked
"Weak don't deserve to be here"Yellow eye said as he disappeared.
"Honchow are you okay?"Valt asked.
"Valt Aoi,that was bad ,because of your friend now you cannot afford to lose anymore battle"The masked man's voice echoed.
"I am sorry guys"Rantaro said ashamed of himself.
"Hey,its alright next time you will defeat him"Cuza tried to cheer him up.
"Now let's go,c'mon"Valt said as they continued on their way.They meet with Black eye who battles Daigo.Though intially facing trouble,Daigo defeats him as he uses the power of his friends faith in him.Then Black eye is kicked out of snake pit Then they meet Grey eye who battles cuza but loses and is also kicked out.
"Alright we won again"Valt and Cuza cheered along with the others.
"Now,who's the next "Valt asked.
"Well done,you have managed to win your battle till now but now your final challenge is Azure eye"The man's voice echoed as Azure eye arrived with his shadow valtreyk.
" I will take him on"Valt said as azure eye smirked.
"Let it Rip"Valt and Azure eye launched their beys.Valt's eyes widened as shadow Valtreyk hit Genesis Valtreyk and threw him out of the ring in an instant.
"And I take the lead against the number one blader in the world"Azure eye spoke cockily.Valt picked up Valtreyk and smirked.
"Let it Rip"Both of them shouted as the second battle began.
"Shadow Valtreyk attack"Azure eye said as Shadow valtreyk rushed towards valtreyk.
"Now,Valtreyk full power"Valt shouted as Valtreyk's eyes flashed and its tip was pushed back.Everyone gasped.Even the masked man.
"Go"Valt shouted as a full powered Valtreyk hit shadow bursting him in an instant.Azure eye couldn't believe it as he was kicked out of snake pit.
"Alright"Valt exclaimed as his friends ran to him and hugged him.
"Well done,Valt Aoi now you can face red eye"The masked man said.They went inside the dark room and saw red eye waiting for them.
"Let's do it"Valt said as he positioned his launcher with Red eye doing the same.
"Let it Rip"Both launched their beys at full power.Their beys met head on.Though initially looking evenly matched slowly Spryzen began to overpower Valtreyk.Valt gasped.
"No i won't lose,Valtreyk"Valt shouted as Valtreyk eyes again flashed and this time its spirit came out.
"Legend spryzen"Red eye ordered as legend spryzen's spirit came out.They battled fiercely but valtreyk began to break spryzen from inside.The masked man noticed this in his data base.
"Red eye legend spryzen will break if you keep battling.Retreat and bring spryzen here we need to upgrade it"The masked man told red eye through his ear piece.
While in the battle,"Spryzen retreat"Red eye said as spryzen returned to his hand.
" Hey what are you doing?"Valt asked as Red eye jumped down.
"Later,Aoi"He said with a smirk as he disappeared .
"No wait"Valt tried to stop him but suddenly everything went dark.
"Huh,where are we?"Valt groaned as he opened his eyes.
"Huh we are out of snake pit"Wakiya yelled.
"Dang it,it must have been that masked man's plan"Valt shouted.
"Calm down Valt , let us return for now"Rantaro said as Valt nodded and they returned to their plane and it took off for Spain.
Then it is shown that Valt and Rantaro are working out as Sasha,Kit,Honey,Stan and Rickson hear their stories about the place.
"Seriously,All that happened"Kit asked as Valt nodded.
"You are terrible liar Valt how could something like that exist in a jungle"Stan said.
"I am telling the truth,i even learned a new move there."Valt said.Now they were all surprised and Kit asked Valt to Show them his new move as Valt agreed
"Let's go,Valtreyk"Valt shouted as Valtreyk's tips sent out sparks and it hit the stadium wall and flew out of it.
"Ohh man"Valt groaned.
"Hey its alright atleast we know that you were telling the truth"Kit said as Valt grinned.
"Well,i don't know about all that but surely this Red eye seems to be a strong guy"Silas said as he relaxed his back in the wall.Suddenly
Chris and Trad arrive there.
"Hey chris"Valt said.
"Hey,today i am going to introduce you to your new teammate"Chris said surprising them.They all looked anticipated as Cuza entered.
"Cuza?"Valt and Rantaro yelled.
"Yep"Cuza said as his bird carl also mimicked him.
"Welcome dude"Valt said as he and rantaro jumped on him.All three friends laughed.Silas smirked,a new rival.
"Cuza will join Valt,Rantaro and Silas as the regulars"Chris said.Stan looked at the four bladers with jealousy and ran away from there.
"Stan wait"Chris tried to stop him.
"Leave me alone"He said and ran away.Trad watched all that silently.
In chris's office
"But why Trad?"Chris shouted.
"I am sorry but this is the right desicion if i stay here then i will have to tolerate these fights between the players"Trad said.Chris just sighed"Okay" she said as she signed the resignation papers.
In the evening,Valt and the others were in the gym when Trad came running to them.
"Has anyone seen Chris?"He asked worriedly.
"No"They all replied at the same time.
"She has just disappeared all of a sudden"Trad said as they were all shocked.They began searching for her.As they arrived a little deep into the forest,Valt gasped.
"Wait i know this place"Valt said and ran into the forest.
"Wait Valt"Rantaro tried to stop him but he was gone.
Valt arrived at the secret beystadium where Chris had fallen alseep.
"Chris"Valt shouted waking her.
"Huh,oh no how did i fell alseep"Chris wondered.
"You went missing so i figured you'd be here"Valt said.
"So are you the one,who has been using the stadium?"Chris asked.
"Yeah,this was the last place where i met Free just before he left.He told me i can use it"Valt replied.
"Really,Free gave you the permission?"Chris asked surprised as Valt nodded.
'I shouldn't be surprised after all other than me Valt is the only person Free trusts' she thought.
"Wow,i didn't know there was a stadium,here"Stan said as they arrived.
"Guys this is the stadium where Free did his secret practice and now i am using it"Valt said.Stan was angry and said "That is enough i am leaving bc sol"He announced shocking everyone.
"I promise you Valt i will get stronger,even stronger than you and Free and defeat you ,The next time we meet we are rivals"Stan said as he ran away from there.
Next day after Stan and Trad left,everyone began training to their hardest.
"Valt,everyone"Chris called out as she arrived in the room.
"What's the matter,chris?"Valt said.Chris just smiled.
"Let me introduce you to our bey trainer,Raul Comas he is an old friend of my grandfather"Chris said as the same old man now revealed to be Raul came there.
"Its you"Both Valt and Kit shouted.
"You know him?"Chris asked surprised as Raul laughed
"Of course,he is one the who made Genesis Valtreyk"Kit said shocking them.
"No way,that was him"Rickson said surprised as Raul laughed.
"I've been wanting to thank you for so long"Valt said.Raul patted his back.
"Don't need to thank me,its was my duty"Raul said.Then they continued their training with chris and raul watching over them.Suddenly someone unknown guy came to them.
"Who are you?" Valt asked as they stopped their training.
"Valt Aoi,its a pleasure to meet you.I am the assistant of your fellow big 5 member Joshua Burns"The man said surprising them.
"Joshua sent you?"Valt asked excited.
"Yes master Valt i have come with an invitation"He said.
"What invitation?"Chris asked.
"He is looking for bladers to cast in his new film and he has invited your team"He said exciting all of them.
"Really?"Valt asked but noticed that chris was staring with sparks in her eyes.
"Oh really i will get to meet joshua"Chris said pumping her fist in the air but blushed as everyone gave her weird looks.
"Well if its that is the way then we accept"Valt said as he nodded and went away.Valt,Rantaro,Cuza and chris arrived at the place Joshua had called them to.
"Umm,so where do we go next?"Rantaro asked.
"I don't know"Valt said but suddenly a lady arrived there.
"Ah,Valt Aoi that means you must be bc sol"The lady said.
"Yes,i am their owner christina kuroda"chris said offering her hand as the lady took it.
"Producer"She said introducing herself.She took them with her to the vanity van where Joshua was relaxing.He got up as he noticed Valt.
"Hey Valt"Joshua called out as they noticed him.Chris was practically drooling.
"Joshua"Valt said with a grin as they went to him.He and Valt shaked hands.
"So,you accepted my invitation then let me explain your role to you"Joshua said as he told them the script.
"So cool we will be space ninjas"Rantaro exclaimed.
"Finally i will fulfil my dream of being telecast on T.V."Cuza shouted in excitement.
They dressed up as the shooting began,during the whole shoot chris was drooling over Joshua practically every moment.After the shoot was over Joshua went to his room and put out his jacket and sat on the sofa completely tired.Suddenly,Wakiya arrived there.
"Joshua Burns"Wakiya called out as Joshua looked at him.
"Who are you?"He asked plainly.
"I am Wakiya murasaki the proud owner of Sunbat united,i've come to make you an offer,i am offering you a chance to join us"Wakiya said.Joshua laughed much to his anger.
"You can't be serious"Joshua said and left from that place.
Then it is seen that Joshua battled Cuza and Rantaro and defeated both of them.
"So is that the power of a member of big 5?"Rantaro asked with wide eyes.Joshua just smirked his blading spirit clearly visible.He looked at valt who smirked at him.
"I will meet you in the world championships,Valt"He said they glared at each other.Then Valt and the other bc sol members left from there.
Meanwhile Theodore Glass convinced Joshua to join Raging bulls making him the captain.
At night in bc sol,Everyone is talking about the film,when suddenly the news comes forward "Breaking news everyone we have just now received the message that Joshua Burns has also joined raging bulls.It seems like the rivalry between raging bulls and bc sol is more heated with the number two and number four bladers being in Raging bulls and The number one himself being in bc sol"The news reporter yelled excitedly.
"No way,Joshua too"Rantaro said in shock,as Valt just stared at the news.
The next day,Raul took them to a special secret room in bc sol which even chris did not know about.There the bladers immediately got excited as they saw the new stadium with a bey spinning in the centre automatically.
"Wow,i didn't know that there was a stadium here"Chris said.
"Your grandfather and i used to practice here and i think your team also needs to do the same"Raul said as chris nodded.
"So,who wants to go first?"Chris asked.Silas came forward.
"Let's see what this old thing has got"Silas said as he launched satomb.But when Satomb hit the bey satomb burst.Silas's eyes widened.
"You lost so easily because you took this too lightly"Raul said as Silas tch'ed' and trained seriously with the others doing the same.Chris smiled looking at them while Raul just laughed.
Then it is seen that Theodore is giving Joshua a tour of raging bulls training centre
while the other bladers look at Joshua he does ignore them and asks about Free.
"Well,no one knows where he goes but he will be back soon"Theodore said.
"Okay"Joshua said as he went to his room where it is shown that he has Free's picture all over his wall.He grins looking at those pictures.
"Seriously"A girl voice says which Joshua immediately recognises as his older sister,Karina Burns.
"H-hey Sis"Joshua greeted her nervously.
"Imagine what would happen if i leak in the media that the Joshua Burns who has millions of fans across the globe is the craziest fanboy of Free de la hoya"Karina said.
"It is not that i am his fan boy"Joshua said but she smirked as he sighed.
"Fine,yeah i am his fan boy because i have been idolising him ever since i lost to him in the semi finals of the world championships.I thought he would win the final but still then he is my idol"Joshua said.
"Well,i know where he is"She said and giggled as she saw that her brother was all fan boyish now.
"Please take me to him"He said as she grabbed her hand and took him with her.
Then it is shown that Valt is practising alone at the secret beystadium in the jungle when the other members arrive there with chris and Raul but hide and watch.
"Now Valtreyk"Valt shouts as Valtreyk continuously crashes with the stadium walls.
"Hey Valt we also want to train here"Silas said as they all came out of hiding.Valtreyk went back to Valt as he nodded.Then Rantaro and Valt batled each other,when Valt suddenly remembered the talk with Free
Flashback starts
"So tell me why do you want to leave us?"Valt asked angrily.
"Listen Valt ,bc sol is very close to my heart.I love this club a lot"Free said.
"Then why are you leaving,I thought we were friends?"Valt asked.
"Yes we are but listen Valt,I sense something is wrong and you,me and the only bladers who are in our league can stop that and i am going to do my share.You are the only blader i trust you know"Free said.
"Ohh c'mon only this much"Valt shouted.
Flashback ends
"Free said that there is some danger to the world that only he and I can stop and that is why it was necessary for him to leave"Valt told them.They were all shocked,just kind of danger is that which can only be stopped by Valt and Free.
On the other side Joshua and Karina disguise themselves as they come to the place Free is hoping that no one else recognises them.
"hey free" a disguised Joshua calls out as Free looks at him.
"Who are you?"Free asked.
"Oh come on don't you recognise me"Joshua said as he momentarily forgot that there were other people who were there and removed his hat showing his hair snd complete face
"Sorry,i don't recognise you"Free said as Joshua sighed and fell anime style.Then Joshua was crowded by the fangirls who recognised him but managed to ran away with Karina.Free sighed and ran away with Joshua following him.They both reach at the raging bulls building as Theodore finally introduces Free to Josua as the former finally remembers Joshua as the guy he beat the world championships semi finals causing the latter to be temporarily depressed.Free just smiles smugly at him.
Then it is shown that Valt,Sasha,Rantaro,Cuza and Silas are watching the battle between Raging balls and some other team named the rocks.
"And a burst with that Joshua burns makes his team win with a score of 3-0,Free de Al Hoya did not even need to battle"The announcer said.Everyone was leaving when some reporters came to Free.
"Excuse me ,Free i have a question"One of them said as Free looked at her.
"Any message for your opponent teams?"She asked.Free looked at the camera.
"Only one blader is there who i want to battle,Valt i will see you in the finals"Free declared as Valt looked shocked staring at the T.V. but grinned and thought 'I will meet you there,Free for sure'
Then bc sol battled their opponent as do As Gallus,Sunbat United and the royals with the four teams winning.
Then it is seen that Xander Shakadera has forged a new bey for himself,Surge Xcalius.
""Hey,Valt"Kit called out as he woke up Valt and gave him a letter.
"It is sent by Xander Shakadera"Kit said.
"Seriously,Xander"Valt and Rantaro asked excitedly and began reading it.
We then see that,Xander reaches MC Rios training area.
"Huh"He gasps as he sees someone flying by holding the legs of an eagle.
"Eagle drop me here,i will check"He said as he jumped down and tried to attack Xander but he dodged.On recognising the guy as Ren wu ,Xander smirked.
"Its you,i remember you from the martial arts tournament"Xander said.Ren wu growled.
"Yes,today i will settle with you"Ren wu said as he tried to punch him but instead Xander also punched him.Their fist collided.
"What's happening?"A voice asks as Xander and Ren wu look at that direction and see a guy carrying a dead crocodile.
"Who's he?"Xander asked in whisper.
"He is the master"Ren wu replied as Xander got excited.The man dropped the crocodile on the ground.
"Hey,you are Banner Clay the director of SB Rios"Xander said excited.
"Don't speak until you are asked to"Ren wu shouted at him.
"I-i am sorry,master"Xander said as he bowed instantly.
"Xander Shakadera of the big 5,I have heard about you what are you doing here?"He asked
"Master,i am here to join your team,i ready to complete any challenge"Xander said.
"Even the 100 bladers challenge?"He asked interested.
"Yes,i have heard about it and i am ready"Xander replied.
"Vey well,then"Xander said a he went inside with Xander and Ren wu following him.Inside every memeber immediately recognised Xander as the member of big 5.Xander's test began with Xcalius defeating every blader.At last when Xander was completely tired after going to 78 battles.It started raining.
"Raining will make him less focused"One of the members said.
"Yes,he will definitely lose the next challenge"Ren wu replied but unsure.Then Xander still won every challenge altough he was falling down after every launch.
"He is loosing control"Banner said as Ren Wu gasped.
"Match no 98"the referee said.
"This will be your last match"Banner said.
"But wait,it is notright there are three more battles"Xander said.
"And you will battle all the three at the same time"He said as Xander was ready.But as he tried to launch his launcher broke and xcalius dropped on the ground.
"grr,oh no"Xander said.
"hmmm"Banner groaned as he threw a new launcher towards Xander.
"Use mine,now it is very powerful let's see how you control it"Banner said as Xander grinned.Ren wu gasped as Xander perfectly used the new launcher and defeated the three bladers.
"I don't believe it"The girl blader said.
"huh"Other blader gasped.
"The power of big 5"The girl muttered.Xander fell on the ground completely tired and excited.
"Xander Shakadera,welcome to Sb Rios"Banner said as Ren wu helped Xnader stand up.
Then it is shown that Valt and Rantaro have completed reading the letter and are sitting with the others to watch SB Rios's match
"Ladies and Gentlemen,Please welcome SB Rios "The announcer siad Valt and The others watched through TV.
"Led by the the no.6 blader in the world,Ren Wu Sun this team has two new members the former member of bc sol,Stan Hamburg and The other is none other that the member of big 5 Xander Shakadera"The announcer yelled.
"Looks like Stan made into a top team"Rickson said with a small smile as Valt grinned.
SB Rios defeat their opponents as the new schedule with bc sol going up against royal again.
"Not Again"Silas muttered.
That's it for this chapter.Next also might come today.
