Lyra is Orpheus' constellation. He's the mythological musician who walks down in the Underworld, charming Cerbere, and makes a deal with Hades to bring back Eurydice with him. However, he fails and looses her forever, and from this moment, he's haunted by what he saw in the Underworld. After his death, the muses places his lyre in the sky to create the constellation honoring him.

In Metal Masters, Toby makes a deal with Ziggurat (though he's unaware of it) to be able to Beyblade again. As Faust, he teams up with Damian, Kerbecs' owner. He's strong enough to use a Beyblade but he can't enjoy it the way he used to. Faust is only a shadow of who Toby used to be.

Toby breaks free of Faust, and is able to beyblade again, but his hair stay white, an evidence of what his walk in the Underworld.

The fox constellation is in the summer sky, bordering the lyre, like Zeo who never leaves Toby's side.

The constellations of Byxis and Tempo were discovered by the same astronomer, Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille, during the eighteenth century.

Some beys are quite ironic. I’m thinking in particular about two beys from Metal Masters :

Byxis (a compass), owned by Zeo, who was quite lost.

Tempo (a clock), owned by Toby, who had an incurable illness.
