*After the Phoenix Grand Prix, in a large city* ...... **<Chrome City>**,

There are 5 city. Each city in each directions (East, South, West
 & North) and 1 in the center. One day, \*All the ruins that in
Chrome City are sending out strange sounds and statues/elements in it
are shining strangely.\*

???? (Male): **"This sound? Is the Guardian Elements? Looks like the time**
has come. The time just like the meteor that falling down the sky. The
tale of the 10 superior dragons will be continued and their king, Golden
 Dragon <Dragold> who has passed away. It seems the only left 10
dragons will guide the new path to our future but ......"

Also at the WBMA, "Mr.Takakura we have detected a strange power source
coming from somewhere and it is very strong." a staff said, "What?"
replied a old man that no less than Mr.Takakura, "Where is it coming
from?" asked a girl who stand beside Mr.Takakura, is Rory. "Is coming
from .... Chrome City?!" the staff said.

"Ah?!?" both of them are shocked about the result. "Grandfather,
if I didn't mistake Chrome City is one of the place that we doesn't
contact with, isn't it?" said Rory, Mr.Takakura nodded and said "Is a
city full with mysteries, we only know the city is main popular place in global."

"So that's why is now or never." said someone coming from behind of
them, is Mr.Gennosuke Shigami, an archeologer and Samuru Shigami's
father. Mr.Takakura nodded and agreed.

**Riki's POV :**

**~In flashback~**

"**WHAT?! A EXHIBITION TOURNAMENT**?!" me and all my friends (include eS's)
shouted except for Samuru, Novu, Basara, Ken and Bakuga. "Y...Yes." said
 Rory.

"But where will the tournament held in?" asked Yuki, "The
tournament will be held in a large city, Chrome City. Is a city that we
haven't contact with. " replied Rory. "Chrome City? Is there a city like
 that?" I said, "What? Riki you don't know Chrome City?" said Kaito. I
saked my head, leaving everyone surprise.

"Um..hum! Chrome City is one of the popular place in global and the
place of entertainments." "But why so suddenly?" asked Kamon. "Well
that's hard to say but not need to know it and just show everyone your
best shots." said Rory and everyone agree.

"I can't believe Riki don't know. Huh~ But Riki do you know Queen Aika?"
 asked Kaito. Wait Queen Aika?! "Wait?! You mean that Queen Aika is that
 Queen Aika?!?!" I screamed out with excitement and everyone surprise,
and Dracyan asked me "Riki, do you know who is this Queen Aika?" "What
are saying about? Of course I know! Queen Aika is the most popular, most
 wonderful idol! I heard all of her songs, but I like the most is
"Vitalization !"

"Looks like Riki know Queen Aika things, well that enough for it." said
Kaito with everyone agreed. "Hai? Why?" I asked and Rory answered it
"Because Queen Aika is from Chrome City, after she took the title
<Queen of Music> she bought glory and honor to Chrome City but it
was too bad that Queen Aika had died for 6 years ago." with a sad face
on her. Then Rory spoke again "What matter now is please all of you give
 them your best shots in the Exhibition Tournament." and we all raised
our hand and agreed "OH!!!"

**~End of the flashback~**

But..... "WHAT'S WITH THE CROWDS?!" I shouted when seeing Chrome City was filled with people. "Whoa~" said me, Kaito, Simon and Grizz.
"It sure is big here." said Yuki and we nodded. "Now then let's go to
the arena where is it?"asked Sumi,

"I remember that Ms.Rory said, the arena is in a large building
that own by a company named <Symphony Company>. Is an company who
ruled over Chrome City. The entertainments show are the main subject
matter of the company but I didn't know that the company also the one
who administering crossfire" said Novu. Leaving everyone in surprise, "and-----where's that gonna be?" asked Sumi and we all sweatdropped
except for Novu, Samuru and Basara.

"Well we shouldn't go with Kamon them together because Rory is
with them." said Sumi. Oh yeah we (only characters of Crossfire) went on
 another helicopter before Rory them because of the number of the seats.
 We all sigh except for those three again."By the way where are we?!?!" I
 shouted again. We are lost in a huge city, don't even say the arena we
even don't know where are we?

"Ah! What should we do?!" I freaked out, "Riki! Hey, get your
whole of yourself!" said my friends who are trying to calm me down.
"Sorry guys, I kinda freak out but still..." I said and looked the
surrounding, it seems we are in a park with a festival held in it. "This
 bad." said Yuki, "If we don't find where we are and the arena quick,"
said Kaito and continue by Reggie "we might not able to enter the
Exhibition Tournament in time."

We started to worry, then I heard an unfamiliar voice "**Are you**
lost, Mr.Riki Ryugasaki?**" "Huh?", I looked around and someone appears in**
 front of me. We saw a someone in front of us, is a----girl? that quite
pretty with long blue hair. "Humm... ano" when I can finish my sentence,

"**Are you Mr.Riki Ryugasaki?**" the girl asked "Emm..." I kinda
space out that time until my b-daman, Rising Dracyan who is in my hand
brings me back "Riki!", Dracyan shouted out. "Oh..Yeah, that's me" I
said and nodded at the same time. Then she stares at us or me,
"Emm...ano--" when I can finish it I was interrupted again by the girl,
this time she asked "**Are you a b-shot what they called?**" Well when I
heard what the girl just asked it seems that she's maybe new to b-daman.
 "Hm...." she smiled and waiting for my replied.

And there's go me, I zone out again and this time is my friends'
turn, "RIKI!" "Ohhh!~ Yes, I am." It was kinda embarrassed that I've
zone out and it is the second time, "And who ar ....." when I can finish
 it again I was still interrupted by the girl again. "**If you are, may I**
guide you to the Arena**?" she asked. "Emm..wait! " I was trying to**
stopped her and asked her but still "Over here, please" she said.
"Em..wait" She's gone.

"Mystery" I said. We looked each other and have no choice so we
follow her. We follow her through the crowds and stalks. "Where it she's
 taking us to, Riki" asked Dracyan, "Dunno" I replied but still then
Yuki suddenly said "She sure is pretty, isn't she?" Well they made us
sweatdroped and we went behind the stage that is in the park. The girl
stopped and said, "We here, please"

"Oh", "Well I never known that there was a path behind the
stage." said Yuki, "Me either" said Reggie and Kaito said "Wait could
this be a secret pathway?" "No" said the girl, "Oh", "Well You did say
you will guide us to the arena right?" I said. "First you need to get
out of the park, please and I will tell you. The exit over there." the
girl said and point to a direction, we saw a gate to the street at the
direction that the girl points out. Finally, we all relieved we was able
 to make it on time. It was a T-intersection.

And the girl said "Now, did you see the building with a statue
below at the sidewalk that right in front of you?" We all looked in
front of us, there's really a large building with a statue over there
but quite far. "That's the building that the Exhibition Tournament held
in, there still have 5 minutes and 42 seconds left so you better hurry."
 "So that's the building that the tournament will held be, hoo~ but
kinda overdoing it." Yuki said, "Yeah" agree by Kaito, Grizz and the
other.

"Mystery~" I said and smiled. Then when I was gonna to thank the
girl, the girl just disappears. "Aleh? Where did the girl goes?" Novu
asked. "She was there just a minute ago, I think." said Gunner and
sratch his head. "Mystery" said me. "But she sure kinda cute doesn't
she" said Kaito with Grizz, Yuki agree by his side. "We better hurry,
she already said it, only 5 minutes left." said Samuru who starts to run
 along with the other. "Riki, we'll go aheah first!" shouted Kaito,
"Adios!" said Gunner.

"Hurry up! Riki" yelled Simon. "Riki, hurry we won't able
participant the tournament if you still stand here!" shouted Dracyan.
"Yeah!" I replied. "RIKI!" my friends shouted, "Hey wait! For me!"

**~Meanwhile at the building where the exhibition tournament held in~**

"Vroom! Vroom!! What on earth, that keeping Riki them so long!?" said a
boy with amber colored and spiky hair, that's Misuru who often argues
with Simon.

"Its already been so long since we got here." said Aona, who's
Kamon's sister. "I wonder if Riki them are lost in the city." wondered
Ken, "Well, that's not possible." said Garuburn. "Huh?" Kamon said,
"Looks at this city is very big, also hard to find them in this city."
said Garuburn. "KAMON! EVERYONE!!" , is Riki and his friends.

(now start continuing Riki's POV)

Riki's POV :

"You all finally made it on time." said Bakuga who holding his
b-daman, Kreis Raydra and "That's a good luck to y'all!" said Jenta who
just standing besides him and holding his b-daman, Dashing Tankshell.
"Hehe" I said it, while sratch my head and holding dracyan with another
hand. "Now then let's go to the arena." said Rory.

"YEAH!" We went into the building, there's a vast room that
resemble a Crossfire stadium it could be the battle arena. Is a very
large room and the middle of the room there's 8 battle field around a
empty field where the references stand and the battle fields consist
different feature battles. " Oh! Now then let's begin the Exhibition
Tournament! This is a friendly tournament of WBMA and Chrome City, so
let's cross fire!"

**"<Comparators> Oh!"**

**"<Rory> Now then let's start the Exhibition Tournament,**
Number Roulette starts!**" As Rory said, there's numbers are shown on our**
phones, I get 5 and my friend (start with number 1) Kamon gets 1, Yuki
gets 2, Basara gets 3, Derek gets 4, Samuru gets 6, Ryudo gets 7, Misuru
 gets 8, Bakuga gets 9, Novu gets 10, Gunner gets 11, Ken gets 12,
Reggie gets 13, Grizz gets 14, Simon gets 15, Sumi gets 16, Kaito gets
17, Hugo gets 18, Jenta gets 19 and Asuka gets 20.

**"<Rory> Please all of the comparators stand by."**

"ALRIGHT!" we all get fired up. " Alright, is everyone ready?"
"<Rory> Ok, let's start the tournament. Ready? Aim? Fireblast!"
"I'm not gonna lose to you again, Kamon", said Yuki while battling with
Kamon. "Me either!" replied Kamon. "Roar~! Tiger Crash!" said Derek that
 jumping from his skateboard and miss landed (or just crash) onto field
and reborn said "Tiger-Reborn!". Derek made a blink that made us
sweatdroped that include Basara too and even some of the audiences
laughs. "That Derek-" said Novu who made sweatdroped, I think he kinda embarrassed because Derek is his partner after all, eh..mm or a
underlings?

**" Comparator Ryugasaki please stand by."** "Yes", when I went up
the stair to the field that I supposed to fight Samuru then I heard **"\*Giggles\*"**

I heard someone giggles with a familar voice, then I looks toward
 to audiences and I saw the girl that we just met before. She was
standing near the exit then Rory called me.

**"<Rory> Comparator Ryugasaki is there anything wrong?"** Rory
 and Samuru looked act me if there's anything wrong. "No Nothing at
all!" I replied in a panic tone. Then I looked back the girl suposed to
stand, but when I looked back the girl disappear. "I wonder if I just
seeing things or something?", "Riki, now not the time to think something
 else. Concentrate on the battle." said Dracyan who is in my hand.
"Dracyan-", I nodded and stand on the place where I should. The feature
battle that we will battle is DX Break Bomber 7. I wait for Rory gives
the signal.

**'"<Rory>Ready? Aim? Fireblast!"** "Let's do this Dracyan!" I
said it to Dracyan, I saw Samuru nodded and said "Dravise!", and Dravise
 replied "Um! We won't lose too!" "AHHA!~" " **Whoa! Whoa! What a intense battle we have here and there. Everyone are fire-up isn't it Ms.Rory?"**

**"<Rory> Yes, because everyone is enjoying Cross Fire after all."** Just
 like what Rory said, we all are enjoying cross fire. Everyone is
happily enjoying playing b-daman. While I'm battling with Samuru, I
looked at my friends who also battling. "Cick-cich, you won't beat me
and Triples" said Ryudo and Misuru said "Vroom! Vroom! That's my line!
The one who gonna win is me!" "Cick-Cich No, is me!", "Vroom! Vroom! No
is me!" , "Is me!" X3

Both of them are arguing in the middle of the battle which makes
 the audiences laughs. Is very hilarious! On the other sides, Bakuga and
 Novu are battling each other. They both smart and have Control type
b-damans. "Looks like you have improved, Novu last time we battle." said
 Bakuga and Novu replied "Hm! I think your the one who has improved."
"Raydra, both as control type b-daman we..." said Dragren that in Novu's
 hand and Raydra continues his line with Dragren, "Um, let's give our
best shot!" in Bakuga's hands.

Then, "Hey Wolf-Boy! You sure are good!" said Gunner who raised
one of his eyebrows and Ken said "Thanks for your praise but we...",
then Detonate Wolg continue Ken's speech "Won't lose too!" "We too!"
said Gunner's b-daman, Bison and they both smile. On the other sides,
Reggie and Grizz are putting a fierce fight. "AHHA!"

But on the other sides "I won't lose, right? Rabbit" shouted Sumi
 and Simon, who's her opponent. "Kisha! Ki-Kisah!!!" Simon shouted in a
panic tone which made th audiences laugh too. Poor Simon. Then,
"<Kaito> DOT! DOT!" , "<Hugo> Roar~!! Me and Lion won't
lose!", "<Jenta> Hah! Give them what we have Tankshell!" and
"<Asuka> Show me your beauty! Driff Jaku" That's right! Cross Fire
 is fun and it will end like that way.

**"<Riki> Emblem Charge!" "Ultimate Rising Overdrive!" "The overflowing Azure, Ultimate Rising Dracyan!"**

**"<Samuru> Emblem Charge!" "Sonic Revolution Attack!" "Bring out the storm! Sonic Dravise!"**

**"HAH!"** The shots are equal power, but until now. Dracyan's shot just push back the green block to Samuru's side and **"<Rory>That's end of the battle, winner is comperator Riki Ryugasaki!"** I
 barely make it out, but Samuru's improving than before. "Nice fight,
Samuru." I said to Samuru and Samuru nodded and replied strangely "Riki,
 is there's anything in your mind?" "Huh?", "Don't play dumb on me, I
know you thinking something, what is it?" asked Samuru.

To be worthy of Samuru, no one can't hide from him. "What is it?"
 he asked again, "y-Yeah, it maybe just my imagination but I think I
just saw the blue-haired girl that we met before." I told and Samuru
looks surprise eventhough is the same face as usual. "Really?" he asked,
 I nodded and I pointed out the direction where the girl supposed to
stand and say

"She stands right over there just before the battle, but when
looked back she's gone." "A suspicious girl, isn't she, Samuru?" asked
Dravise, Samuru replied "Yeah..." in a low tone. "Mystery," then Dracyan
 said "Riki, I know what you thinking now but now concentrate on your
next battle." When I heard Dracyan's word I gives him a nod.

*~After thirty minutes~*

**"<B-shot RYU> Now the battle finally comes to the end,**
Comparator Day and Comparator Ryugasaki each have 3 points of DX Break
Bomber 7 now last green bomber who will win it? It will be the Cross
Fight Champion or the Grand B-Master?"

**"It will be me and Dracyan!!" "Ummu!" , "No! It will be us!!" , "Dracyan I won't lose too."**

Both of us give each other a nod and **"Emblem Charge!!" X2**
"Ultimate Rising Overdrive!" "The Overflowing Azure, Ultimate Rising
Dracyan!" "Ultimate God Drive!" "Light the blaze, Ultimate Drive
Garuburn!"

**"HAH!"** Both of Dracyan and Garuburn's shots are equal
power but when Garuburn's shot was gonna overpower us there's a bell
ring. That's means the time is over, and means.....

**"<Rory> It's a draw!" , "Oh!!"** as the crowds go
wild, what's a relieve if the bell doesn't ring at that time it I
already lose but even though I lose it won't effect our friendship. I
looked at Kamon as he's also looked at me at the same time. Then we
shaked our hand and I said "It was a good fight! Kamon." and Kamon
replied "Yeah! I thought I will never able to fight you again Riki."

"What's are you saying?" said Samuru who cut in with the others.
"Eventhough, we not able to see each other but doesn't mean forever.
Well, we can go visit y'all in Crestland isn't is?" said Yuki."If you
host a tournament." said Yuki. We all froze for a second then we laugh
like we're crazy. **"AHAHAHAAHAHAHAH~"**

After the Exhibition Tournament was finished we all walked out
from the building seeing there's a few limos just beside the sidewalks.
Those are WBMA's they are picking us back home. When we all were
chatting and walking towards them, then I heard....

**"\*Giggles\* That's was a amazing battle, Riki Ryugasaki and Kamon Day."** I knew it, I know that familar voice. It's belong to that mysteries girl but I looked around but no trace of that girl. **"Riki?" said Kamon. "Nothing, le-let's go!"** I
 said without letting them worry but still ....I still wondering about
that mysteries and pretty girl I just met before, "Mystery~"

Behind one the pillars of the entrace of the buiding, where the
mysteries girl just standing to hide from the b-shots, and she giggles
and said **"\*Giggles\* Dra--gon huh? I hoped you all dragon wielders have prepared to the tasks that will happened next in the future. We**
shall meet again."

**Preview:**

**Riki: Hey! Dracyan isn't it great to able to fight Kamon and Garuburn?!**

**Dracyan: Umm! They sure put on a good fight!**

**Riki: Yeah but Mystery~! That girl we met today kinda mystery-**

**Dracyan: Huh? Hey Riki is that-?**

**Riki: Mystery~!**

**Together : Next Time Emblem Charge! B-Fight!**
