Order of the Bear: The Moon Guardian’s Descent on Demon Rock Island
The sky over Elysium didn’t just turn black; it turned hollow.
Once, our home was a masterpiece painted by the collective subconscious of Earth. Every time a child dreamed of flying, our mountains grew taller; every time a poet fell in love, our rivers ran with liquid sapphire. It was a kingdom nurtured by hope. But that was before the Wizard of the Dark Moon Kingdom cast his shadow.
In a single night, the color was bled from the world. The sapphire rivers turned to sludge, the dream-forests became calcified bone, and the vibrant hum of life was replaced by a suffocating, rhythmic thrumming from the dark moon above.
The Gathering at the Ashen Gates
Six strangers stood amidst the gray ruins, brought together by a rift in time and space they didn't yet understand. They looked at the desolate horizon with a mix of horror and confusion.
Yusuke Urameshi, his green spirit jacket tattered at the sleeves, stepped forward. He shoved his hands into his pockets, his expression uncharacteristically grim. He looked at the group gathered behind him:
Usagi Tsukino, clutching her Moon Kaleidoscope, her eyes welling with tears at the sight of the dead garden.
Haru Glory, the Rave Master, resting his massive sword, the Ten Powers, against a jagged rock.
Sakura Avalon, her Clow Staff gripped tightly, sensing the distorted magic in the air.
Kai and Tyson, the leaders of the Blade Breakers, holding their Beyblades as if they were the only anchors left in this colorless void.
The Revelation
"Listen up," Yusuke said, his voice echoing across the wasteland. "I know you’re all wondering how a place this beautiful ended up looking like a graveyard. This is Elysium."
Usagi gasped. "Elysium? But... the legends say this is where dreams go to bloom. This looks like a nightmare."
"That’s because it is," Yusuke replied, pointing toward the obsidian tower piercing the clouds. "The Wizard of the Dark Moon didn't just attack the land; he hijacked the source. He’s been harvesting the dreams of Earth and turning them into nightmare fuel for his army. If Elysium dies, the people on Earth stop dreaming. They lose their spark. They become empty shells, just like these trees."
Haru tightened his grip on his sword. "Then we don't have much time. If the 'nurturing' has stopped, this world will eventually crumble into nothing."
"Exactly," Yusuke said, a spark of blue Spirit Reflection flickering in his eyes. "Sakura, your cards are the only thing that can track the remaining traces of light. Tyson, Kai—your spirits are pure energy; you’re going to have to create a whirlwind to clear this dark fog. Usagi, you’re the heart of this operation. Only your Silver Crystal can jumpstart the colors again."
Tyson grinned, despite the gloom, and clicked his Beyblade into his launcher. "A world without dreams sounds like a pretty boring place to live. Let's give this Wizard a wake-up call."
The Final Stand
The group looked toward the Dark Moon. The landscape was silent, but for the first time since the invasion, there was a flicker of something other than gray. A small, stubborn spark of gold began to glow at the tip of Sakura’s wand, reacting to the defiance in their hearts.
Elysium was dying, but it wasn't dead yet. As long as these six stood their ground, the dream was still alive.
