The first one out was slightly tanned, bright green eyes, a 9 quilled piece mohawk with white tips, an orange sun tattoo on his check, wearing a light blue shirt, darker blue vest, yellow tie, and orange shirt.

"The blader of the Shining Sun, the strategist, Hikaru Asahi!"

"Wow. Hyuga, let's inspire all the other bladers. The Dynamite Era and everything else to come are going to have us to look up to." He looked down on his blade. "We may not be the strongest, but we'll be the blading heroes they need like Aiga was to me. He looks around and sees nothing there. Hyuga? Hyuga?!

Yu laughed. "Your hair is so ridiculous," bawling on the floor and rolling around. "They should call you Hika-rooster."

While Tsubasa asked him to act a bit more mature, Hikaru's former coach Rantaro tried really hard not to laugh.

"Coach, seriously?" Then he noticed the Supreme Five all together.

"They're all on the same team," recalling how hard it was for them to beat Lui, Free, and Shu, each with equally skilled partners. Phi's appearance completely took him for a loop. It took Aiga so many tries to beat him. Even though he had grown, Phi was one that briefly made him question whether to continue his path on being a blader, and the likes of Arthur showed Hikaru the risks of being a blader. Still he always believed he could be a blading hero like his idols and took his chance. If they defeated Lane and brought him over to the side of good, anything was possible, right?

"Stand your ground kid." Hikaru turned out to see Tyson right behind him. "We've had to deal with some crazy powerful bladers, some even strong to break holes in reality."

"Wow. Right," psyching himself up. "We'll break our limits."

Aiga joined him. "That's what I'd like to hear. Make sure you make it far so Achilles and I can settle things!"

Hikaru nodded, looking forward to it.

"The Shining Speedster, Hyuga Asahi."

Hyuga was already busy going around, only to fall asleep for training too late to his brother's charging. Though shorter, his spiky crimson hair, red eyes and jacket, orange sun tattoo similar to his brother alongside the symbol on his black shirt, and jeans underneath black sweats gave off a flashy appearance. Hikaru and Valt had to carry him over, and when he woke back up, the sight of Shu working with the other Legends as one team got him to jump off his idol.

"Wow, Valt, you're with your old team. Wait, BC Sol, a team of legends, Aiga's team, Drum's team?"

"Hikaru, Hyuga, hey," Drum approached. "We're going to have some serious awesome battles like before right?" As they agreed, Amane joined.

"These are the guys you battled with in the Legends Festival and Tag League huh."

Hyuga nodded, exaggerating his hand movements. "We went zoom zoom zoom, crash crash, kablamo, and whoosh!"

"No, you went straight in, clashed, burst, and went in super seriously!"

While Daina and Shu asked Valt if he wanted to join in, Amane and Hikaru lumped their heads over to the side.

"I'm guessing you're the brains and he's the brawn."

"You could say that," Hikaru awkwardly laughed.

Tokonatsu jumped in the combination. "Well we may not be the strongest, but it's cool that we're all the leaders of our own groups. Valt battled with you all, so hope you give his little brother a chance too."

Amane was looking forward to the challenge but Hikaru nervously looked aside.

"I'm not exactly the leader. More like the one our captain put in charge of for strategies."

Amane and Tokonatsu were curious. "Who else is on the team?"

Meanwhile, as Hyuga and Drum were talking, Lui got up in Hyuga's face.

"So you're competing too, Tag champion. Let's see if you won't be holding your brother back this time."

He growled and butted heads with him. "Lui! We'll beat you again."

Rantaro blew his fan at the two of them. "Cool off you two."

Xhaka lifted Hyuga up. The latter would have complained had Xhaka not let him rest on his shoulder.

"You've got spunk. Reminds me of Xhan. Thanks to the Tag League, you're about ready to join S-Tier from what I've heard. So," glaring with intensity, power, and that same confidence in his smile, "you ready to take us on."

Hyuga gulped and pumped his fists. "Bring it!"

"Enough," said the third person of their team who walked out.

"Whoa whoa whoa, what is this?!"

Taller than Hikaru and Hyuga, the pale skinned, yellow eyed, magenta markings, spiked up magenta hair, winter black and blue jacket and shirts with light blue edges, and red boots, the aura of the Jet Black Flame was one many of them from the Earth of that world was not too keen on seeing.

"Lane?"

"Lane Valhalla, Shu Kurenai's protege has entered with his Flare rivals, Hikaru and Hyuga!"

"Huh, this Shu guy's really popular with you all, huh," Hillary asked.

"Mhmm," Nika nodded. "Shu's the coolest!"

"What about me," Valt asked.

"You two," she defended, with Tokonatsu laughing. But even they knew Lane wasn't exactly respectful of the sport. They were glad Valt's Brave Valkyrie was never damaged but felt bad for Hikaru and Hyuga until they got their upgrades.

Most of the Legendary Bladers were surprised, amused, shocked, and concerned. Valt knew that those two could change him for the better. Despite that, Free and Sisco were a little skeptical. The latter adjusted his glasses.

"I get that he's changed and all, but he's going to give us all a headache."

Lane addressed his concerns w"Look, I get it, I've made a lot of mistakes. Blading was only a source for me to quench my thirst for strength, to finally understand my flare, to get that passion for blading. And all I saw around me were Legends who weren't up to snuff."

"But those two. They were still weak, but still were able to learn something from the Legends. Change, grow, their flare evolved. Then, when it happened," recalling their final battle at the end of the Legend Super Tag League: the excitement, the rush, the joy of letting loose, that developed genuine smiles from him. Even before, Valt and Rantaro worked together to knock him out and the intensity between Valt and Shu afterwards left him wondering what it was.

Now he had an answer. "Their flare made me find my own flare. A fri-rivals to match my own," smiling. "A new sense of battling where I can just give it my wall. If I partner with these three, I'm sure it'll happen."

Hikaru and Hyuga were touched.

He reverted to a less aloof, though more snarky persona. "Plus someone needs to make sure these idiots don't get eliminated early on. Just give me a good fight, our Flare will take all of you on."

Shu took a nod of grace for his protege's growth, only for Fubuki to encounter him.

"You trained with Shu and yet it took you that long to change your ways?"

Lane grunted. "I'm not that person anymore."

It seemed like a confrontation between Shu's students would go down until Fubuki extended a hand.

"Then I'll see what you can bring in the stadium."

Lane took his hand back with a nod and joined his teammates.

"Forneus huh. I won't underestimate them."

It sounded like a proper challenge anyone there was willing to take on.

The fourth member of the team finally arrived.

But no one from the Burst world knew who they were.

The ones from the Metal world did.

The boy in question had spiky hair that was blonde from the bottom and black on the top quill. His bright blue shirt and slash, dark blue jeans, and red scarf. His amber eyes were familiar to one of them especially. Madoka, Yu, and Tsubasa had some recollection of who he was.

"Wow, it's a bit chillier here than I thought," taking out his bag and revealing a white vest with red highlights on the top and bottom, yellow zips in the middle, and fit perfectly.

"Gingka, it's your number one apprentice!"

Hanami's reaction was the same as the audience.

"Sora Akatsuki?"

"Hold on. A team with bladers from two different worlds? Is that even allowed?"

Gingka was just as flabbergasted.

"It's been such a long while. You and Cyber Pegasus must've been training really hard. But you're entering the tournament?"

"Yeah, I came in 7th at the Japanese Selection Tournament all those years ago. After all those years, traveling with Ryuto after the Nemesis Conflict, I'm ready to get back into blading. He's busy doing some more research with Dynamis and the others, so he gave me the thumbs up to enter. Plus when the tournament's over, I want to enter the adult league."

"But how did you end up partnering with the Asahi siblings?"

"That's well...not my story to tell just yet. But Gingka, know this. Before, I mastered my own power, but as your apprentice, I haven't caught up just yet. The World Championships, helping get data and develop new blades with you all, I want to be a part of that too. If we battle, Gingka, Cyber and I are ready for you!"

Gingka nodded. "Well, you came all this way. I can't wait!"

Zero jumped in between them. "Hold on, I'm Gingka's apprentice! He gave me Samurai Ifrit, and I'm caring for his legacy."

"Oh, you're Zero. Wow, I saw your matches in Neo Battle Bladers. Protege vs Apprentice, how about it?"

Zero got fired up. "Alright, bring it! But if you're here, who's the final blader."

"Oh, he's an old friend of ours."

The final member of the team headed out in a green tie, but a white-yellow t-shirt with blue pants. The familiar green hair, amber yellow eyes, and v pose left everyone from Gingka's world but Kira in shock. Gingka, Yu, and Tsubasa spoke first.

"Kenta?"

"Kenchi!"

"You're back?"

Kira was the only one who didn't know who Kenta was. Shinobu calmly told him to be quiet and listen in the presence of another legend.

Madoka quickly brought him in. "You finished setting up other different B-Pits?"

"It was a lot of work, but I got it done. To be honest, I wasn't sure I had time to register. Figures all of you would join up. Lucky things worked out."

"You could've called. It's been so long!"

"I had to train a bit, especially with all of these guys. Gingka, Kyoya, you two won't be the only Legendary Bladers who's representing the WBBA. Plus, Sakyo!"

"Um, yes?"

"I promised a friend I would check up on you. You're not making the same mistakes."

Kyoya grew suspicious. "So Ryuga. You know if he's actually dead?"

Kenta grew hesitant. As he was about to say something, Hanami told him to join the team for the lineup.

Tsubasa shook his head while Valt was more amused, and Shu understood the situation.

"We want this tournament to reflect unity amongst bladers across the multiverse. This is a strong reflection of that."

"Will the support member please take the stage?"

Kenta adjusted his tie. "I didn't expect him to be late."

A human rampaged from the entrance hall with a grilling station around them. Gan Gan Galaxy, Bridge to the Future, Team Sirens, Free, and Sisco's reactions said it all once the purple haired, black sweatered, cargo pants adult stopped, and revealed himself.

"Benkei?"

"Ben-Ben?!"

"That's a human? He's bigger than Xhaka!"

"Interesting," Xhaka smiled.

However, Benkei's extra employees from Bull Burger went out, offering to help Chiharu with an idea Benkei was proud of: Bey Burgers.

"That sounds, interesting. Valt, sounds like a good idea?"

"Sure, seems great."

"Wonderful. Alright everyone," Benkei commanded, "let's use this to help you get some bonuses for the tournament!"

Enthusiastically, they all went to work while Benkei joined his team.

His former proteges on Bridge to the Future put two and two together. "So that was the team you were coaching?"

Benkei gave an enthusiastic slap to Kenta and Sora. "You know it! I wanted to open up more smaller chains around Japan, when Hikaru, Hyuga, and Lane jumped through the portal."

Valt and Rantaro were shocked, asking them what led them to join.

"You were busy with the Demon King around the time of the recruitment. When we heard people were allowed to travel through dimensions and time, we followed straight through."

Hikaru groaned at his brother's explanation. "More like you jumped in, Lane's flare convinced him to come in after you, and I had to make sure you too were safe."

Lane vehemently denied that was the case, claiming he only jumped in after Hyuga.

"That doesn't matter either way."

Rantaro asked the obvious question. "Why didn't you just team up with the other Bombers, or you know, call your coach?!"

"We tried," Hyuga whined. "Raika, Chuck, and Gum said we were too strong and they said they would hold us back or something! Raika said we should look for stronger bladers, but we went around and couldn't find any of the Legends."

Hikaru noted almost all of them were there. All except Gwyn.

Lane raised an eyebrow. "He's the one Drum's team had to combat with that Hell Organization? Shu considered bringing me into battle with them, but they defeated him first."

Harry came out and danced around, trying to comfort his owner.

"I'll be okay."

Drum looked up in the sky, longing for a familiar face.

"Gwyn, I wish you would've come. Hope you're watching us, wherever you are."

"Either way," Kenta explained, "when I decided to sign up, I called up Benkei to help me get back in shape. Sora had came back from Africa the night as we began to leave Metal Bey City. Then after catching up, we met those three, found out we were in need of teammates, and then we thought it was the perfect chance."

Kyoya chuckled. "So, you've got a kitbash team from nothing. Well I-"

"Quiet, Kyoya! This team is much more than you think!"

Kenta's fiery passion caught his old ally by his side. "Right Benkei?"

"Right! Kyoya, Kenta and I have been by your side for so long, and you never saw us as equals until Rago's attack and turned our backs on us. We're more than you give us credit for, and we'll prove it!"

"That's not what I meant you two. Just let me-"

Kenta raised a finger and stopped him. "The six of us have been preparing for this tournament for a long time."

"With Benkei's training, we'll zoom, crash, and kablam the whole competition."

"We're packing more sparking power that can test with the legends."

"And the strategies to break through even the toughest limits."

"Our flare will burn everyone away."

Benkei lifted up Hikaru and Hyuga onto his shoulders, Sora and Kenta posed side by side, with the team captain telling Lane to join in.

"Bull-bull-bull-bull! Team 13: Sparking Flame, is here to win!"

Hanami hyped up their revelation, which left most of the audience in awe of how weird and bizarre it was. And Lane reciprocated.

"I'm not humoring that notion."

Everyone wondered what was next. Twelve teams was enough, now thirteen. Who else would be a part of the tournament?
