Tyler and Sakura met in the school gym after class, smiling at each other.

"Say, Sakura… we're the new generation of Beigoma Academy's Beyclub. Shouldn't we find other bladers to join us?" Tyler asked. Sakura nodded.

"I believe we should. So far, membership consists of only us. We need more bladers to train with." Sakura responded. "Now how should we advertise the beyclub?"

"I'm going to ask around, see if anyone would like to join the beyclub. The school's always got bladers." Tyler spoke with an air of confidence in his voice. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"I think that would be inefficient and an unnecessary burning of energy. I suggest we make flyers and put them up around the school." Sakura suggested.

"Sounds nice, but are you sure Principal Shinoda would approve? He's complained about hallway posters before." Tyler asked. Sakura nodded.

"I promise you, Tyler. If I was not confident in my idea, I would not try it." Sakura responded. Tyler dug into his backpack and pulled out a sheet of construction paper.

"I've got paper for you, Sakura. I'll let you draw up your flyer and photocopy it. I'll ask around for members." Tyler handed Sakura the paper and a set of writing materials before taking off. Sakura sighed.

"Goodness, he never listens…" Sakura sighed as she began working on her advertisement. Tyler wandered through the halls, looking for eager bladers. His eyesight led him to find Brandon wandering the halls.

"Hey, Brandon! Interested in joining the beyclub with me and Sakura?" Tyler asked. Brandon turned around and shot a sharp glare into his eyes.

"I prefer to train by myself. I don't need friends. Now get out of my sight." Brandon responded before turning and walking away. Tyler was left in shock.

"Okay… I thought he'd love having strong opponents to train with." Tyler quietly mused as he walked down the hallway. He saw another blader, a taller boy with short black hair and blue eyes.

"Excuse me, sir. Are you interested in joining the Beigoma Academy Beyclub? We've got strong bladers to train with!" Tyler pitched his offer.

"Sorry, dude. I'm already on the baseball team. I have no time." The boy responded as he walked away. Tyler's eyes were at half mast.

"Seriously…?" Tyler groaned as he walked away. He ran into another blader, this one a younger girl with curly white hair and black eyes.

"Hey! Wanna join the Beigoma Academy Beyclub? We've got strong bladers to train with!" Tyler spoke kindly.

"I can't. I'd just lose to everybody." The girl whimpered as she walked away. Tyler sighed as he walked forwards. While he was doing that, Sakura finished her flyer. She was holding it in her hand as she walked to the office, meeting the assistant principal.

"Good afternoon, Miss Miyamoto. What would you like?" The assistant principal asked.

"I would like to photocopy this flyer. I want to advertise the Beigoma Academy Beyclub." Sakura showed the flyer. It depicted Scarlet Talthea and Stalk Shikomi battling in a stadium, with the club details above the stadium, written in bold red print.

"I will happily photocopy your flyer. Those will look great on our new club advertisement boards." The assistant principal took the paper from Sakura and put it right into the photocopier. Once five copies have been made, the assistant principal gave them to Sakura, along with a set of thumb tacks.

"Thank you, Mrs. Shimomura." Sakura thanked the assistant principal before systematically hanging up the flyers. Once she hung up the last one, she made her way back to the gym. Meanwhile, Tyler advanced to the upper floor, still looking for bladers. He looked up, down, and all around. He even looked on the rooftop battlefield. Unfortunately, nobody except Brandon turned up. Brandon was training by himself, so Tyler left him alone. While Tyler was making his way back to the gym, Sakura got into the gym already. To her surprise, a blader had come in to train with her bey. She had long, bright cyan hair. She wore a white labcoat and blue tights. She launched her bey into the stadium, and the bey generated a lot of downwards airflow, giving it low friction.

"G-Greetings, miss." Sakura tried her best to greet the sudden guest. The girl turned around, revealing her beautiful pink eyes and matching pink glasses.

"Hi there! Are you the person running the Beigoma Academy Beyclub?" The girl asked.

"N-No, that would be my friend, Tyler. What's your name?" Sakura asked. The girl smirked as she picked up her bey.

"I'm Nora Cross. Gifted scientist and blader." Nora then showed off her bey, a blue stamina type bey with five smooth blades and holes for airflow. The storm chip had a silvery blue mermaid design. "This is my bey. Opretta Nymph!" Nora spoke with certainty and confidence.

"I am Sakura Miyamoto. Here is my bey, Stalk Shikomi." Sakura revealed Shikomi to Nora, whose eyes sparkled as she took out her tablet.

"Your bey looks like a defense type, with its round shape. Is my assessment accurate?" Nora asked. Sakura nodded.

"You are correct. Since you're here, would you like to join the Beyclub?" Sakura asked. Nora nodded.

"That's exactly why I came here. I'm interested in joining the beyclub. Nymph needs other thunderstorm beys to battle!" Nora took out her cyan launcher and attached Nymph.

"I would like to test your sills, Nora. This is not required for club entry, but I think it would be fun." Sakura took out her launcher and attached Shikomi.

"Three!" Sakura stood perfectly straight with her legs together. Nora turned away from the stadium, looking behind her and smiling.

"Two!" Sakura moved her right arm behind her. Nora moved her right leg in front of her, away from the stadium.

"One!" Sakura moved her right hand to the string handle on her launcher. Nora began twirling to the right.

"LET IT RIP!" Sakura and Nora launched simultaneously. Shikomi landed and circled the outer ring. Nymph landed softly, using the holes in the thunder point and driver to generate downwards airflow and reduce friction. Nymph went straight to the center, spinning on its free-spinning sharp tip.

"A stamina type… this will be a difficult battle to win." Sakura noted.

"You catch on quickly. Just try beating our Aqua Survivor!" Nora pushed up her glasses as Nymph stayed in the center, spinning as if it hadn't lost any stamina at all. Shikomi came in from the iner ring to ram into Nymph, but it did little damage. Tyler arrived in the gym, only to see Sakura and Nora duking it out. Like Sakura, he was quite surprised to see a new member, but he chose to keep quiet. He wanted to watch the battle play out.

"Attacks like that won't beat Nymph. You will simply waste stamina." Nora wagged her finger and smirked.

"I would rather go down fighting than just give up. So I won't quit." Sakura boldly proclaimed as Shikomi ran to the top of the stadium slope before barrelling down and slamming into Nymph, knocking it backwards and allowing Shikomi to claim the center.

"Oh! That's an interesting development…" Nora mused as Nymph circled the inner ring, waiting for her opening. Sakura put her hands on her hips and smiled.

"Now it's your turn. Try to knock me out of the center." Sakura spoke proudly.

"I'll try it! Go, Nymph!" Nora called out to her bey. Nymph charged at Shikomi and stuck to it, but Shikomi repelled the attack. Tyler smirked as he watched the battle. He was quiteproud of Sakura for turning the tides. Nymph retreated to the upper edge, still with quite a bit of spin. It raced down the edge and rammed into Shikomi. Nymph was knocked backwards, but Shikomi barely budged. Sakura smiled.

"Looks like I'm pulling ahead." Sakura put her finger on her chin. Nora furrowed her eyebrows as her cyan and pink resonance began to glow. She did up the top button of her labcoat and undid the rest before pulling her arms in, making the labcoat flow like a cape.
"I've still got one more shot at victory! My formula will be perfect!" Nora shouted as she thrustd both of her hands forward. Nymph's blue resonance flared up as a blue mermaid emerged, sporting long pink hair, a fish tail with shiny cyan scales, a pink mouth shield, and a five pronged cyan trident. The mermaid spun the trident over her head before holding it in front of her. Sakura's purple and black resonance surrounded her body as she put her hands together.

"No matter what your formula is, there will always be a flaw. You won't crack through my defenses today!" Sakura boldly declared victory as Shikomi's purple resonance flared up and the bey's avatar emerged. The avatar depicted a purple cloak, with a pair of glowing green eyes in the face opening, and a pair of black and gold shield designs on the sides of the cloak. Nymph was hurtling towards Shikomi as both beys glowed cyan and purple respectively.

"Nymph, let's finish this with Aqua Opera!" Nora called her strongest move. Nymph slammed into Shikomi, using the shape of its blades to try and throw Shikomi backwards.

"I won't budge an inch! Not with our Cloak Guard!" Sakura called her special move and true to her word, Shikomi didn't move an inch. It simply repelled Nymph's attack, flinging it from the stadium. Nora's irises shrunk, signifying shock. Sakura picked up her bey and smiled at Nora.

"You're a talented blader with good battle IQ. We're more than happy to welcome you to the club." Sakura spoke as she bowed.

"B-But I lost…" Nora weakly stated.

"That doesn't matter! We're still happy to welcome you!" Tyler walked towards the girls with a smile. Nora turned around and widened her eyes.
"T-Tyler Inouye?!" Nora stuttered. Tyler giggled.

"Yep. That's me! Nice to meet you!" Tyler extended his hand. Nora smiled softly and shook Tyler's hand.

"Nice to meet you too. I-I'm Nora Cross! It's a pleasure to join this beyclub!" Nora blushed a little bit as she let go of Tyler's hand.

"Now, shall we train together?" Tyler offered. The girls agreed and the beyclub had a wonderful day of training and socializing. It seems this was going to be a tight knit club.
