Yuya woke up the next day in Shu's living room on the sofa. Shu's apartment was very clean, with a kitchen next to the entrance, and two rooms branching from the living room. Shu insisted that Yuya should sleep in his room, but Yuya claimed that he was fine with the sofa. The sofa was actually very comfortable. He sat up to see a note on the table. It read:

Yuya,

I had to go on my morning jog, so I left early. Make yourself breakfast; there're ingredients in the fridge. No matter was happens, I can't let it disrupt my training, you see. While you're home, try to come up with a name for your Bey. Every Bey needs a name. My Bey's name is Storm Spriggan. Tell me the name once I get back. We will find out the official name once we go to the Bey Mall, but for now, making up a name will help you feel closer to your Bey.

Shu Kurenai

Yuya liked the sound of that, but he decided to make breakfast first and then think about the name. Maybe it would come to him as he was making breakfast for him and Shu.

Yuya looked in the fridge to find an abundance of ingredients- including the ingredients to make his mom's famous pancakes. It might not turn out like his mom's pancakes, but he could give it a try.

As he stirred the batter, a lump in the batter would not dissolve. Instead, it was circling around the whisk. Yuya laughed. It looked like the Moon orbiting the Earth! Just then, an idea popped into Yuya's head. Why didn't he name his bey Orbital Odd-Eyes? It had a ring to it, and it resonated with Yuya, although Yuya was not sure how. It was settled then! As if on cue, the lump melted into the batter.

Yuya drizzled the pancakes with maple syrup and topped each stack of 10 with blueberries. He saved a plate for Shu and started eating. He was surprised with the taste. The pancakes tasted exactly like his mom's!

Just as he finished his fifth pancake, Shu walked in the room. He had on a sleeveless white shirt and blue shorts. Sweat was still dripping off his forehead. Yuya greeted him and showed Shu his stack of pancakes. Shu was surprised that Yuya managed to make so many. He sat down and started eating with Yuya."

"These are really good!" Shu praised.

"Thanks!" Yuya replied with a smile.

"So, did you think of a name yet?" Shu asked Yuya.

Yuya smiled. "Orbital Odd-Eyes!" He announced. As he did so, he felt pride swell up in his chest for his Beyblade, although he wasn't sure why.

Shu clapped. "That's a really nice name! Where'd you get the inspiration for it from?"

Yuya laughed and told Shu the story of the lump of batter. "Also, Odd-Eyes Dragon was my ace monster back where I came from." Yuya added.

Shu raised an eyebrow. "Where you came from…?"

Yuya realized what he just said. "No-uh, I didn-It's not what you-"

"It's fine. You don't have to tell me." Shu ended the conversation. They ate the rest of their breakfast in peace.

A thought popped into Yuya's head as he was helping Shu wash the dishes. "Hey Shu, can you teach me how to play Beyblade?" Yuya requested.

Shu thought about it for a second. "Sure, why not?" He agreed.

They went to the Bey Mall to get Yuya's Bey analyzed. "So that we know what type your Bey is and what kind of launches suit you." Shu reasoned.

The Bey Mall fascinated Yuya. There were screens everywhere showing replays of Bey Battles. Seeing the replays Yuya got an idea of how most Bey Battles play out. The idea of Bursting your opponent's Bey seemed cool to Yuya. He just hoped it didn't happen to him.

They went into a store where there were lots of Bey parts on racks everywhere. There were a few counters where store employees were answering questions for the Bladers who came to the store. Yuya noticed that the consultation was free.

Shu and Yuya went to one of those counters where a store employee greeted them. Shu asked Yuya to show his Bey, so Yuya placed Orbital Odd-Eyes on the counter.

The employee was surprised. "I've never seen this Bey before. This is supposed to be the place to get all the Bey parts ever, yet we don't have this disk, driver, or layer!"

"I know," Shu agreed. "Yuya doesn't know where he got it from. Could you analyze it for us? You could give the parts names if you want."

The employee readily agreed. As she walked to a machine, Yuya heard her muttering: "It's not every day you get to name never-before seen Bey parts!"

After a half hour of waiting, the employee came back. The employee said that the layer was called Orbital Odd-Eyes, (Just like Yuya said, Shu thought, But how did he know that that is the bey's actual name?) The disk was called Horn, and the driver was called Dichro. The employee noted that Dichro was very similar to the Driver Unite, which Shu owned, and the only difference was that the circle of rubber on Unite was plastic in Dichro. The colors were different too- Unite was red and white, while Dichro was red and blue. Based on this, the employee concluded that Orbital Odd-Eyes Horn Dichro was the newest Balance-type Bey.

After exiting the store, all of the screens in the mall showed one person sitting at the desk. He was shouting to the viewers, "Okay, boys and girls! Today is the much anticipated final match of the District Tournament! The winner will move on the Nationals, while the loser will still have a chance to make it big at the regionals to still make it to the Nationals! The two finalists are… the wonderboy, Valt Aoi! He will be facing a member of the Four Spin Emperors...Shu Kurenai! Streaming live in a half hour!" The screen went back to showing replays.

"What are the Four Spin Emperors?" Yuya asked Shu as Shu handed Yuya's Bey back to him.

"The Four Spin Emperors are the four most powerful Bladers in the country. We are also called the Supreme Four."

"Woah!" Yuya was amazed that he was with one of the country's top Bladers. Maybe he could make it that far too! That is of course if he could figure out how to play. Shu said that he would teach Yuya how to after his match.

Shu left Yuya on the bench next to the store that they just visited. He said that he would be back after the match. Yuya watched Shu leave, and then started exploring the Bey Mall. He figured that since there were so many screens everywhere, he could explore the store and watch Shu's match at the same time. He found a lot of stores about Beyblade, including one clothing store that sold equipment for Beyblade. Yuya didn't have any money at the moment, but he figured that he would need some equipment. He made a mental note to ask Shu to take him there.

While looking at a store that specializes in selling Drivers, he thought that he saw Akaba Reiji in the store. Reiji noticed Yuya too and the two looked at each other for a few seconds, looking extremely surprised. Then someone passed in front of Yuya and Reiji was gone. Yuya didn't know what to think.

After a lot of looking around, he noticed the screen and it occurred to him that he missed a whole round of Shu's match. The score was 1-0 in favor of Shu, but Shu was holding his shoulder strangely. He looked like he was in pain. Valt was looking at him in concern. Yuya could tell that Shu was trying to tell Valt that he was fine. The referee called the second battle, and Shu got into the weirdest position that Yuya had seen anyone use when launching.

Just then, a brown bag covered Yuya's line of vision. He suddenly couldn't move. Everything around him was a dark brown. As he struggled against the invisible bonds that bound him, he was lifted into the air, and from what Yuya could tell, he traveled at very high speeds after that, because he could hear the wind whistling through a tiny hole in the bag. Then he was slammed against something and everything went black.

When he woke up, He still couldn't see anything. Everything around him was black. The ground he was on was brittle. He slowly got to his feet and stumbled around in the darkness. Soon, he felt something smooth in contrast to the dry, sandy ground he was crawling on. He took another step and the ground suddenly sloped down. Yuya tumbled down it and eventually ended up in the middle of a shallow, bowl-shaped pit. A spotlight shone on Yuya's body as he lay there, trying to regain his breath.

A loud laughing was heard. It came from the edge of the pit in front of Yuya. The voice was female and very high pitched. A spotlight shone on a girl not much older than Yuya. She had black and pink hair tied in a messy bun, and a sparkly purple acrobat suit. She had one Red eye and one Blue Eye, which sent chills down Yuya's spine. She was laughing at Yuya, who immediately got to a kneeling position to look more dignified than having his legs over his head.

"Welcome to the show, Yuya Sakaki!" She sneered. How did this girl know Yuya's name? "My name is Olympia, and I will be your first opponent in this world!"

"Opponent?" Yuya started to panic. "I barely know how to play! I've never launched before!"

"Well, that's too bad!" Olympia pouted. "I was hoping that you would be a strong opponent! Well, no turning back now! You can't escape until you battle me!"

Yuya thought for a bit. If he battled her, he would get out and gain some battle experience, rather than staying in this barren world for the rest of his life. He had no choice. "Fine. I accept your challenge!" Yuya proclaimed.

Olympia's face lit up. "Yay! Let's get started! Climb up to the edge of the stadium that you fell in. I would like to call you Doofus, but that would hurt your feelings, wouldn't it?"

Yuya gritted his teeth. Olympia was seriously getting on his nerves. He climbed out of the stadium and stood at the edge opposite to Olympia. The spotlight now shone on the stadium.

Yuya fitted his Bey into his launcher just like Shu showed him when they first met. He stood in a launching pose that he saw many Bladers use when he was watching the replays, with his legs bent and his arms outstretched. Just by instinct, he angled the launcher down a little.

"Ready...Set!" Olympia started.

"3...2...1...Go Shoot!"

Odd-Eyes started circling around the Tornado Ridge. Olympia's Bey, a Bey called Odin with a disk called Armed and a driver called Claw, flew straight to the center of the stadium. Yuya deduced that this Bey was Stamina type.

Odd-Eyes started an attack, in which it went to the center, hit Odin, and went back to the Tornado Ridge to launch an attack from a different angle. It did this with amazing speed. Olympia was shocked. "What? How is this possible?"

"Go, Odd-Eyes!" Yuya called. A Red aura surrounded him. He could picture Odd-Eyes Dragon in the Battle. Orbital Odd-Eyes started circling from the Tornado Ridge in a spiral down to the center. There was no escape for Odin.

"Spiral Strike Burst!" Yuya announced his special move as Odd-Eyes collided with Odin at top speed, bursting Odin. The pieces landed in the stadium as Odd-Eyes ran out of spin and fell.

"Burst Finish to Yuya...two points...Yuya's win!?" Olympia concluded. She looked horrified. Yuya felt a wave of exhaustion come over him, as he gave it his all in the battle. In a few seconds, he passed out.

"Yuya? Yuya!"

Yuya heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes to see Shu kneeling to look at him, with concern all over his face. Behind him was Valt and another man that Yuya had never seen before. He had very red hair, was very tall, and hore a black shirt that didn't cover his midriff under a red jacket. He had brown pants and black shoes, and he was very muscular. Yuya realized that he was laying on the ground and immediately sat up.

"What happened?" Shu inquired.

Yuya wasn't sure if what happened was a dream or reality. "I think I just went to an alternate dimension and battled someone named Olympia and I won…" Yuya muttered.

Valt started laughing. "Holy moley! Have you ever heard a story as silly as that!?" He said in between laughs.

"I know it sounds silly, but I'm sure it really happened." Yuya pondered. What actually did happen to him?

Shu and the other red haired boy looked at eachother and by the looks of it had a silent conversation with each other. Yuya asked to be introduced to the red-head.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm Kaiza Shakuenzi, but you can call me Xhaka! Shu told me all about you, Yuya!" Xhaka introduced with a smile.

"Yuya, are you sure you are alright? And how did you battle without even knowing how?" Shu asked.

"I don't know." Yuya answered. "When I used my Special Move, she seemed pretty surprised. I guess she didn't expect a newbie to beat her like that!"

Yuya tried to stand, but the world was still a little wobbly, and he stumbled. Xhaka caught him. "Easy there, kid. You need some rest!"

Yuya agreed, and then remembered about Shu's match. "Shu, what happened in your match today?" Yuya inquired.

"Oh, I won, but Valt did really good too." Shu answered.

"And one more thing," Yuya added. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Shu looked surprised. "Was it that obvious?" Everyone nodded. Shu sighed. "Yes, I hurt my shoulder the other day trying to protect Nika. The doctor said that I should quit the tournament right then and there, but I decided to just to the finals and then take a rest."

"And that was a bad decision." Xhaka contradicted. "You only injured it more. You might have tore your tendon if I didn't hit that pressure point and relieve the pressure!"

"But I promised Valt that I would fight him in the finals!" Shu countered.

"Even though I told you to forfeit and that we could fight anytime we wanted?" Valt cross-examined.

Shu had no more arguments. "Fine. I'm sorry." Shu apologized.

Just then, Yuya's stomach rumbled. This made everyone remember how hungry they were. Luckily, Valt's bakery was nearby, so they happily made their way there and had a lunch of Beybread and noodles.
