I'm so sorry! I've been extremely busy with school and life, plus soccer 6 days a week, and I haven't had time to write! Well, I think you'll be satisfied by the longer chapter, but I just realized that I've rated it K and the content seems a bit too scary for 5-year olds. I'll change the rating.

This is basically the pivotal point of the story, and you'll see why after you read it. New characters, plot twist, and cliff-hanger! What else could you ask for? A happy ending? Well, maybe...

I also realized that I've forgotten to include Wakiya. There's no mention of him at all! So I'm planning on making a sequel to this once it's over, which might be a while. But It's going to be called Beyblade Burst Arc-God since it will follow the story of Beyblade Burst God/Evolution.

I'm rambling now, so just enjoy the story! And don't forget to review! CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM NEEDED!


Olympia laughed menacingly as Rantaro stomped up to the BeyStadium. "Alright, time's up, Olympia! I'll be the one to take you down!" He yelled as Valt moved Yuya's limp body with tears in his eyes. Daina was looking at the broken Odd-Eyes in shock.

Olympia looked at the three with a smile. "Who said you had to?"

This caught all three of them off guard. "Huh?"

Olympia took out a playing card. At the top it read, "Astrograph Magician," and it showed a picture of a mysterious person cloaked in stars. It was orange and green in the background, aside from the text.

"I won't be facing you. My servant will!" Olympia cackled as she raised the card to the sky.

"OLYMPIA!"

A man stormed into the room. He was bald and dark-skinned, and you could see his veins on his scalp. Part of his skull was covered by a metal plate. He wore a purple suit similar to the one Yuri wore, except his was more dignified. He had a black belt with a gold insignia on it, black gloves, and black and white boots. He was robed in such a way that the only skin shown was on his head and neck.

Olympia squeaked. "Professor!" The purple soul in her palm twitched slightly.

Everyone was confused as they looked at the man seething with anger. "What have you done!? I only told you to bring back the Zarcarnations back to the Fusion dimension!"

Zarcarnations? What were those?

Olympia's mouth rounded, and she decided that she'd better explain what was happening. "You see, your friend, Yuya is a demon."

That was all she said before some new guests stormed into the room.

First, leading the procession, was a young man with a navy blue sweater and white jeans wearing a flowing red scarf and glasses that shone in the light, hiding his eyes. Behind him came a young girl with short pink twin-tails wearing a blue and white sleeveless shirt with a tie and a periwinkle skirt. She has light pink bangs. Behind her was a girl with long purple hair wearing a formal white jacket and a skirt, paired with some boots. Next came in a girl with short, wavy sea-green hair with a white, blue, and pink sports jacket and pink shorts. After her, a girl with dark blue hair in a ponytail entered with a red jacket similar to Yuri's purple one and a white skirt.

What was really surprising was the last familiar boy that entered the room.

Valt's eyes lit up, as did Rantaro's and Daina's. "SHU!"

He ran up to Shu, latched on to him and pushed him to the ground, sobbing the whole time in happiness. Shu also got teary-eyed and hugged Valt back. Rantaro and Daina couldn't help but cry a little as they ran up to Shu.

The mood was very different in the other half of the room. The leader of the prisoners glared at the Professor as the four girls looked around in confusion.

"Father," The grey-haired teen said.

"Reiji," The burly Professor answered.

Olympia looked on with a hint of a smile on her face. "Oh, reunions! Aren't they just heartwarming?"

To which the Professor and Reiji glared at her.

"Where are we?" The pinkette voiced. "I thought Yuya was going to be here."

"Yeah, where's Yuto?" The purple-haired girl asked.

"Wasn't Yugo supposed to be here too?" The greenette aksed.

"I was told Yuri would be here. Where is he?" The bluenette questioned.

Shu looked confused. "I know Yuya, but who are Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri?" He asked. "And why do you four have the same face?"

"Let me explain," Olympia cleared her throat. "Pinky here is Yuzu. Grape goes by Ruri. Sea kelp is called Rin. And Blueberry's name is Serena."

Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, and Serena each waved when their name was called.

"And now about the boys," Olympia started and then sneered. "I already defeated them!"

There were shocked gasps from all the newcomers.

"Yuya was defeated!?"

"Yuya couldn't've been defeated. He was one of the strongest duelists in Miami City!"

"Yugo didn't lose. You're lying!"

"Yuto lost? But he said...No!"

"There's no way duelists in Yuri's caliber were defeated!"

Only Reiji stayed silent.

Olympia laughed. "But they were! And they weren't dueling, they were Blading! I have proof; their bodies are lying right there!"

They looked at the pile of bodies in the corner and gasped. Even Reiji was surprised. Ruri downright broke down. Serena and Shu were fighting hard to keep the tears from coming. Yuzu and Rin held hands tightly as a few tears squeezed through. Valt, Rantaro, and Daina could only watch with sorrowful faces. They had cried enough already.

"Storytime!" Olympia randomly called out. Everyone glared at her as the Professor stepped in front of her.

"No, Olympia. They mustn't know!"

"Why shouldn't they?"

"Because if they do then-"

"I don't care, okay? I'm not your servant anymore!"

Olympia raised her hand and a blast of wind sent the Professor flying. Rin's bracelet glowed and she gasped.

"Now on with my story," Olympia continued from where she left off. "Once upon a time, there was a perfect world. Everyone lived in peace and was happy. Instead of Beyblade, they played a game called Duel Monsters. It was a card game, and with the invention of Duel Disks, anyone could verse anyone, anyplace, any time. They had much more advanced technology than we could ever dream of. Duel Disks created holograms of the cards you placed on the field, allowing you to see the duels. The games were very exciting, just like your Beyblade Battles. Many scientists worked on the science of Dueling to improve Dueling for everyone. One of those scientists was Leo Akaba."

Reiji gasped and the Professor groaned in pain.

"Leo was studying a card hologram one day when he realized that the hologram reacted to everything he did. Although it couldn't move from it's sitting position, it was breathing and its eyes followed Leo around the room. This led Leo to a theory that Duel Monster cards had souls. It was the most astounding scientific discovery to this date. Although legendary duelists in the past such as Yugi Muto and Judai Yuki claimed that the cards had souls, there was no scientific proof. And then suddenly, there was. Akaba Leo used this knowledge to create holograms with mass and free will. This revolutionized Dueling. A new duel, called the Action Duel, was born. In it, the duelists ran and jumped around the Action field with their monsters while dueling. New duelists, called entertainment duelists, started to make their debut. They dazzled the crowd with their combos and lit up the field like a showman. They quickly became popular. Speaking of Action Duels, I believe Yuzu knows the standard chant recited before an Action Duel. Can you share?"

Yuzu, a bit flustered, said, "Of course!" Under her breath, she muttered "Stupid teacher…" Which caused Ruri and Rin to giggle.

Yuzu took a deep breath and chanted, "Duelists locked in battle! Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through this field! Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling! ACTION DUEL!"

Everyone applauded.

"Nice," Olympia commented. "I'll go on now. One very famous entertainment duelist quickly got the favor of the crowd. He dueled as if the monsters were a part of him, as if he could talk to them, as if they were his friends. His style quickly got hold of the crowd's attention. His duels grew more spectacular every day. He wielded four beautiful dragons that dazzled the crowd. But one day, there was an accident. One of his monsters, I believe it was Starve Venom-"

"STARVE VENOM!?" Serena interrupted.

Olympia frowned. "Yes, Starve Venom. Now I'll continue. Please don't interrupt again," She requested Serena, who was sweating and shaking.

"Alright. So Starve Venom's tail hit the opposing monster which slammed into his opponent. Poor guy broke his collarbone. The entertainment duelist was shocked and disgusted at first. So was the crowd. But they soon started cheering. They wanted more violent duels from the entertainer. So he obliged. But with each passing duel, his light and carefree personality transformed into a darker persona who was a sadistic maniac." Olympia's face darkened. "I got so bad that one day, after winning a duel, he used Astrograph Magician's power to fuse himself with his four dragons. He became a mutated dragon-human. Do you know what his name is?" Olympia whispered.

No one spoke.

After a few moments of silence, Olympia whispered, "It was Zarc." Then she shouted, "It was Zarc! His four dragons were Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, and Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!"

"NO!" Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, and Serena shouted at once, recognizing their friend's ace cards.

Shu was thunderstruck. "Odd-Eyes was Yuya's Bey," He reasoned. "So that means…"

"Zarc could have ruled forever!" Olympia screamed. "The world would have been perfect! But then Leo Akaba had to step in!"

"If I didn't then the world would be gone!" Professor retorted. Everyone gasped.

"You're Leo Akaba!?"

Olympia continued as if nothing had happened. "He created four cards that harnessed the power of nature. He was going to use them and sacrifice himself to save the world, but his daughter, Ray Akaba, did it instead!"

"You had a daughter!?" Now it was Reiji's turn to be surprised. "I always thought that I was an only child!"

"So you have a long-lost sister!?" Valt exclaimed. "That's cool!"

"A long-lost sister who will never be regained!" Olympia confirmed. "When she used those cards, Everything was split into four! There were now four dimensions, four incarnations of Zarc, and four incarnations of Ray! And they are all here!"

"No!" The Professor tried to get up but Olympia blasted him back down.

"This can't be happening…" Shu muttered. "If what I'm hearing is true then…"

"You're right!" Olympia had gone berserk now. "Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are the four incarnations of Zarc! Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, and Serena are the four incarnations of Ray!"

A cry of shock went up from around the room.

"So what are you going to do now?" Shu asked through clenched teeth, inching closer to the sleeping form of Yuya.

"Why, what do you think would happen if I mixed the four Yu-boys' souls together?" Olympia grinned evilly as she held up the four multicolored souls.

"NO!" Everybody screamed and rushed towards Olympia to be blown back by a massive amount of power. Olympia's eyes glowed white. A blue of blue streaked past everyone, but they didn't notice.

"Oh, Astrograph Magician!" She laughed as Astrograph Magician appeared in the air. "Sorcerer who controls space-time! I superimpose my wish with your profound power!"

Dark miasma surrounded Olympia as Astrograph Magician raised his staff. A colorful explosion filled the room, not disturbing anything, as Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri were dragged in it, along with their Beys.

Nobody but Shu noticed the fifth shadow who was caught in the ball of light.

"VALT!"
