"SEEITA!" Hilary's panicked cry echoed through the soccer field, as the others were shocked.

"W-What… happened?" Seita tried to recollect when a bright blurred flash passed by him as though a cold breeze were sent, erasing the waves and slosh of water that swept on him seconds prior to a bright radiant green engulfing the area.

"Jertrude?!" Adreous shouted the bit-beasts name that'd been seconds from crushing Seita. To the shock of everyone present, the beast was pinned to the ground by a raging vortex of flames, scorching green flames evaporating it along with the waves that'd been forming on the soccer field, a rainbow seems to form above the wyverns glow, Seita glanced to see Chaz and shouted

"CHAZ?! WHAT ARE YOU … Doing here?!" Chaz observed the number of enemies.

"Emialous decided to come this way, and you're in trouble again. Seems trouble follows you everywhere you go..." A faint smile formed on Chaz's face. "Seita"

"As if- but I won't complain, thanks for coming!" Seita adjusted his hat with a scuff that soon turned to a wide smirk as he leaned up to stand and stare at Chaz.

'Ardreous… you've made it into this realm after all, with the others it seems."

"Greetings It's been, long since we crossed paths"

"It has, how do you remember me if your memories should have faded when you fell into this planet's atmosphere?"

"I'm not… quite sure, but the other's may have gained their remembrance too" Emialous, glanced down to the small pintsized starfish.

"Maybe, you know something more than I do Archstar?"

Squishy remained silent.

Emialous returned his sights to the bit-beasts that stood behind Ardreous as orange flames erupted in the skies above the soccer stadium along with sirens ringing loudly. "Miki, grab the boy and get him to the helicopter, it's nearing" Metal beams broke, crashing into the stands as the three BABA officers took off for Seita who grew spaced out.

"Meerstar, what have you done with Meerstar Ardreous?"

Arduous laughed a tinge of disappointment in his voice.

"We had Tizara encased, until she agreed in working with us, we'll have this welcoming party now then" Ardreous whipped his hand up as a Beyblade appeared, releasing the giant Tigres onto Emialous who quickly took flight.

Side to side, the tigres attempt to ensnare Emialous in her grasp. "HHHRRRAAAGGHHH!"

Emialous flew low, whipping Tizara off of it's form.

"NNNNOOOO!" Mari couldn't believe her eyes, the enraged state Tizara was in seemed unrecognizable. It was clear Tizara was in pain leading her to take off straight for her. "Mari… I will always remain by your side." The promise replayed in the girls mind, recalling her younger childhood seated on a crumbling coral reef. The entire sequence of memories, brought back bitter memories for Mari who recalled her village the night it'd fallen.

"TIZARAAA!"

The Tigres rushed Emialous as Mari ran in with her hands extended only to get tackled aside by Chaz as Tizara tackled right into Emialous, charging into three stands only for Emialouses single wing to flap tossing Tizara backwards as the crash knocked Seita out of his spaced out state.

"Ignis has sent word to us all…"

"What is it?"

"We've successfully invaded the continent's of the other sides"

"The humans are being driven into chaos"

"See what I said, there's no reason to wait for some silly tournament when we can work in conjunction to wipe out the humans"

"But…"

"What is it now?"

"The continent known as Russia and a few others, have held on"

"Even so, it won't for long."

"Around the world now we can wipe out the old generation of humans and enslave the rest into an artificial world where their consciousness stays transfixed in that artificial world as opposed to this physical reality, the consciousness of most humans have already been entrapped in the technology we've allowed them to have with our hidden goal in mind, where they will mostly remain stuck while we have the physical reality, where we will reign with ease. It was wise to let those corrupted waves enslave the other humans, fools the slavery never left, the invaders only made it seem that way-"

"They've already been underdeveloped by those reptiles, they may have beat us to this planet over the last 6000 years but now is our time"

"What does that mean?!" Emialous shot a vortex, rushing for Ardreous who maneuvered out of the way while the two that stood by him were incinerated along with the beyblades that'd been spinning below them.

"DO YOU NOT FEEL THE TERROR?! THE CRIES RESONATING, SO MANY PANICKED! You're destroying innocent waves!"

"It makes no difference my old friend, they'd endlessly do the same to each other. They'd do the same to other organisms."

"Don't tell me you've grown accustomed to the human life? If you've gained some of your memories you should join me-" Adreous flicked his finger, combating the vortex of flames Emialous shot his way.

"Us doing this is no different than what those parasites did to the waves approximately 6000 years ago upon landing on this planet… Those parasites infiltrated those innocent waves in those mountains and directed them into genociding worldwide all for their gluttonious hunger, they've placed so much blame on innocent waves. Do you hear me Tristar? Innocent waves of all levels of development … were enslaved and subjected to unimaginable horrors. My pain, the pain I feel from this planet is far greater than the feeble cries you hear from a few million presently. I'm only doing what needs to be done. How many waves must be enslaved by those parasites? To save the ones of the future, this must be done. In respect to those ancestral waves, the kindness that was squashed by those Parasites that spread toxic thought forms ceaselessly until now, we've returned to reclaim this planet."

"This is still wrong!"

"Those ancestors kindness, they distorted the information and it worked so easily,"

Arduous laughed as Emialous dodged Tizara once more.

"None of you fools even know what side you're truly on, but I do"

"Our enemy is only as great as we allow it to be, join us now and I'll have Tizara stand down, you'll be spared in this invasion"

"NEVER! CHAZ!" Emialous glanced to Chaz who'd been struggling with Mari.

"Let me GO!" Mari continued to tussle as Chaz glanced to Emialous and shouted. "EMIALOUS!" The empowering voice triggered feathers to spiral out of Emialous as Tizara found herself frozen in a green crystallization liquid that spun around her, keeping her in place as Mari broke free and ran for the aquatic substance that she was repelled by when she tried running through.

"Those human lives are expendable, they're expendable waves! Join us in wiping out the humans so we may stop the world order that those devils among them are planning to place under Pan!"

"That cannot be the case ARDREOUS! YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND TO THE PARASITIC THOUGHTS OF IGNIS AND HIS SELFISH RULE!"

"No such thing! Our tree of life will spread its connection to this realms planet and upon us completing the sap, we can take the realm of the humans for ourselves and make use for it since the waves on this planet have been wasting it anyway, they've been listening to their corrupt bit-beasts for centuries, they've made sacrifices to those bit-beasts in exchange for pretending they're more important than other developing waves! Such sick thoughts are now erased and you must help us in that! IF NOT YOU WILL GO NOW!" Ardreous smashed his fists together, pale spikes extended out of his forearms shifting to pitch black as glowing orbs appeared and flew out as Ardreous rushed up and jumped on one, using each one as stepping boards as he engaged Emialous and struck the Wyvern into the field upon appearing beside it to the surprise of Emialous. It crashed twice, forcing itself up into the raining skies.

"EMIALOUUUUS! YOU ARE FIGHTING A FUTILE WAR YOU ARE! IN THE NAME OF A GODDESS WHOSE FORSAKEN US!"

"THAT'S WHAT THIS IS!" Ardreous swiped his palm in front of his line of sight to shoot the orbs for Emialous. The five platforms zigzagged around, forming a net of light that Emialous tried to fight against as it closed it and wrapped around Emialous who screeched in agony at the jolts of electricity that messed with it's form.

"EMIALOUS LINK TUNER!" Chaz shouted, giving Emialous a much needed boost that helped it shoot it's wings and break the beams.

Seita all the while brought his sights to Squishy who remained silent. "Pirah" Seita called out, seeing Pirah had his sister safe. "Get Hiyori to my sister over there and get as far away as you can, to a safe place"

"Ah- I'm not sure where safe is considering there's chaos everywhere"

"SEEITA!"

"GET OVER HERE NOW WITH HIYORI!" Hilary's voice, Seita remembered finding she was in the stands, three BABA Officers reached him to stop the remaining possessed officers who rushed at Seita.

The beyblades blew theirs back and three officers landed in front of Seita who had braced himself having thought he'd be attacked.

"Hello, I'm Konan, this is Kikiyo and Miki, we're of the commissary central divisions private task force, out to personally retrieve you and Mari under orders of the president"

"Please make your way to the helicopter that's neared while we hold these beasts and depart"

Konan glanced at his watch, Seita stared up at a bright white light coming from a helicopter that raged in the distance. It's light aimed around until it landed on Hillary, who struggled to keep herself in place as a strong gust blew downward but was guided to a harness.

Elsewhere, the force field around the town has already shattered, letting streams of the ocean pour down in massive tsunami swirls that Konan observed behind the stadium's sky.

"… That's where the school is"

Seita then remembers his friends, his school. Was he about to lose that life? Where were they now? Mimi, Ares, were the first in his mind, then Gronk, Clam, their friends, his teacher, Seita laughed beneath his breath noting "At least I don't have to do that sort of homework but it's been replaced by something worse"

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Get going" Miki said to the boy, who snapped out of his thoughts and walked to Squishy.

Seita knelt down and Squishy glances at Seita but says nothing,

"TIZAAARA!"

Mari cries out for Tizara, attempting to get to her, Mari calling Tizara's name causes the bit-beast's body to vibrate statically.

"NNO- GO! LEAVEEE!"

"ESCAPE F-FOR WHAT'S COMING!" Tizara continued to fight against the manipulative forces that forced her body to move earlier.

"That's not possible! I can't leave and go anywhere else, I don't have anywhere else to go if it's not at your side!"

"Our island" Mari clenched her eyes shut and brought her palms forward against the liquid, she steadily forced herself in towards Tizara as Emialouses stun attack wore off.

"I can't return without… Tizara- I have no place without you!" Mary continued to force her feet, step by step drawing closer to Tizara until the force dispersed as the once green substance shifted back into waves that washed by her. Mari fell back, only to pick herself back up and run for Tizara with a leap. "You're my only family!" The two found themselves jolted as Tizara screams in agony but begins breaking the vibrations placed on her.

Though Mari was going through extreme pain being electrocuted she wrapped her arms tightly around Tizara's neck, Seita watches with anger; Mari continued screaming "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

"LOOK AT MARI FIGHT!" Seita knelt down, shouting at Squishy. "Why have ya' gotten so quiet now of all times?!"

"My head feels like it's going to…" Seita rubbed his forehead.

"While others are doing battle… to keep our home. I can't do nothing when I have to help out too, tell me… if what that thing said earlier, then you coming here wasn't by accident? Tell me exactly where you came from and why you've come if it seems you've come to destroy my world"

"I thought we were friends"

"We are…" Squishy said below Seita's voice.

"I'm not here to destroy the world, at least not in that sense."

"What do you mean?" Seita raised a brow.

"I'm as clueless as you are partner but-" Squishy motioned for Seita's shoe.

"We aren't strong enough to prevent what's going to happen."

"There's gotta be something we can do!"

"Beat it Seita, get out of here! I don't want to see you lose everything, leave with what you can"

"Beat it now Seita, BEAT IT! WE'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH! Escape-" Squishy shouted growing more exasperated when he felt the vibrations of what was coming making the starfish concerned, moving and placing it's stubs against Seita's shoes. Squishy tried to press, urging Seita to leave.

Meanwhile the possessed officers continued to fight through but were being held back by Tizara who blasted them back with a surge of purple lightning as the corrupt bit-beast Ardreous found himself stunned by Emialous who backed over beside Chaz.

"MEERSTAR GIVE IN!" Though Ardreous shouted in an attempt to gain control of Tizara, it was too late. For Tizara to give in was now impossible as an overwhelming light surged out of her, breaking her free from the corrupt bit-beast as the beyblade that'd trapped her shattered and she found herself rushing for Mari's beyblade as the beyblade began spinning towards her, Mari picked it up and clipped it into her shooter successfully getting Tizara back but to the shock of them all, the barrier broke as water fell from the skies.

An eerie cry echoed through the skies, a Whales song echoed through the entire town, drawing the eyes of all the populous up to the arctic like lights rapidly filling their sights and the corrupt bit-beast Ardreous laughed.

"You're all ours anyway, for defying the chance I gave you'll all be swept"

From the darkness of the clouds that parted suddenly, A massive pale glowing whale was seen moving in to fall backwards onto the forcefield as Seita recalls the report Kenny had told him, of how there was the ship Tyson was on that broke in half, Seita recalls hearing the news say the ship was giant yet… thinking back to that ship and what he now saw. He understood. Sheer terror filled the boy's shoes. The whale bit-beast was three times larger than the ship easily, Seita turned over, picking up his beyblade as he got grabbed by one of the officers Miki and pushed to the helicopters that were waiting.

"NO! None of you will escape!" Ardreous raised his hands causing waves to rotate over and nearly strike the group but Konan and Kikiyo released their bit-beasts, both resembled arctic wolves that froze the waves.

"Miki- you secure everything above!" Kikiyo shouted as Miki managed to reach the helicopter, having dropped down for them to get on faster.

"We'll keep you occupied! Lavinah!" Kikiyo whipped her hand aside, causing the frozen waves to shatter sending dozens of shards that Adreous struggled to stop, noting that all the possessed officers and even the corrupted bit-beasts he'd been using were all defeated.

"YOU TWO! PLEASE COME!"

"NO MIKI! This is the only way for you all to make it safely, raise the craft!" Konan ordered the pilot who'd been waiting for the order.

Miki tearfully screamed as the rotators cut her off.

"Tell my family I died honorably-" Was the last thing she heard, lifting the back of her hand over her mouth as she watched a flood overtake the soccer field, streams of aquatic waves rushing down.

Konan glanced with a look of despair, that was the last thing she saw. Fear in his eyes as the water flooded and wiped them out of view.

"KONAN!" Despite Miki's cry it was over.

"Close the door-" Said one of the officers in the now silent aircraft. Seita found himself drenched from head to toe, distraught at having lost his home, unsure of what even happened to the rest of his family.

"NNNoooooou!" Hilary freaked out, remembering she forgot… "Momo!"

"Ah- Momo's here, I packed him in my backpack" Himari revealed just as fast as her panicked sister, slipping her bag off as Pirah observed the cat poke it's head out of the backpack, Hilary reached for Momo in tears.

Two of the officers motion for the windows, staring at the flashes of flames and darkness below. Utter chaos.

A loud sonar wave attracts the attention of everyone in the helicopter to the city the flying helicopter was leaving, "Goodness gracious…" Left one of the officers mouths.

Moving towards the window, Seita dropped to his knees.

Seita watches as the phantom-like whale breaks through in the distance above the city and massive waves continue sweeping down across the town destroying everything and filling the entire space as monstrous bit beasts are seen pouring through.

Flames engulfed large buildings but were put out by the waves washing everywhere.

Seita watches the ferocious whale bit-beast thrash, buildings being blown high up with waves washing about in a flurry, infiltrating the force field that now was filling with the raised oceans wrath.

"I swear… I'll … get" Seita clenched his fists, struggling to think anything other than a stinging sensation that overtook his chest, indescribable other than blind rage as tears swelled his eyes. He ignored the stinging sensation of salt water in his eyes. As the helicopter shifted into an aquatic ride, it continued through to a location that still had a force field, the pilot focused on the destination coordinates given to him. An area that hadn't been breached yet.

"And… that's how Kumamoto fell… It's how, my life changed"

"And started on the Crypto Mother ship, a 22,000 miles long flying continent our government had been preparing..."

"My next step is to join what I'd later learn was the FREE-Dive academy and become a bit-master so I could use the Augmented Reality Gear to destroy every last one of those corrupt bit-beast"

"I'd get my opportunity to enter the preliminaries of ARG…"

"And go against all those that played a hand in what happened-"

"First they'd taken Tyson and now they wiped out my hometown"

"I'm not even sure if my friends are dead or alive, Simon…"

Seita brought out Squishy's beyblade.

"Did this all happen because I got this Beyblade? Am… I at fault?"

"KKkkkrt- grhhh" Seita growled.

Flames burned high over dark water, washing away people who were caught in the ongoing attack on Kumamoto.

'GHHHHRAAAAAAHHHHH!'
