Chapter Text
How much time has passed since then? Maybe about five months? I had trouble keeping track of time. The majority of my time was spent working on strengthening myself and spending time with Ryuga. He was a big help to me during my bey training, and whenever we found out about competitions, we would enter them. We would spend the night in motels or set up camp in the woods. On one specific night, we were able to see shooting stars. Ryuga rested on a log close to the blazing fire. I joined him in his seat and gazed up at the sky.
"Wow, the stars are even more beautiful today."
He glanced over at me, then at the stars. "I suppose."
He pulls out his bey and begins polishing it. Then I notice a bunch of shooting stars.
"Omg Ryuga, look! Shooting stars!"
He appeared to be in awe when I turned to gaze at him. I drew nearer and leaned on his shoulder while gazing up at the sky.
"The fact that I get to watch this with you makes it all the more special."
"Don't be all cheesy on me right now," He scoffed, and I laughed. Then, we saw a massive, meteor-like object fly through the sky.
"What the heck was that?" The ground shook, and Ryuga gripped me tightly.
"Should we check that out?"
"We should, you're right. Let's go." We gather our belongings and move toward the area where the meteor landed.

Madoka had just completed repairing Gingka's bey. She felt the room shake and heard a deafening explosion. She didn't give it much thought and went to sleep. Upon awakening, she discovered that Gingka had taken the bey. He had gotten a strange letter from someone telling him to meet at the neighborhood shore for a battle. That day, there was a ton of smog. He was followed by Kenta and Madoka, who waited at the shore. The two clung to one another as the fear of the beach surroundings overcame them.
"This is so creepy..."
"Man, where is that person?"
They became alarmed when they heard creaking sounds. Too much fog obscured the area for anyone to be seen. The fog began to clear as the person in question approached.
"Hey, guys!" Kyoya, Nazumi, and Benkei were on a boat when the fog vanished. Benkei was rowing the boat as Kyoya stood erect and proud, a grin on his face. Nazumi sat on her knees, a huge grin on her face. She gave her sister and the others a wave.
"Oh, it's just them." Madoka and Kenta let out a sigh.
"I'm sorry for the delay, Gingka."
"Kyoya?"
"It was Kyoya? What a bummer."
"What do you mean, bummer?!" Benkei yelled and rose hastily, which caused him to tumble into the water. Nazumi shrieked and clutched the boat to keep from falling.
"I hope you haven't forgotten what happened at the world championships, Gingka!" He says, and the others look a little confused.
"Oh, yes. We may have won the tournament, but Kyoya and Gingka tied."
"And we're back to repay that favor and put an end to it," Kyoya leaps off the boat and prepares to launch his bey. As soon as Nazumi and Benkei reach the shore, they stand next to Madoka and Kenta.
"You're right; let's go!" Gingka and Kyoya launch their beys, and the others laugh.
"Looks like he hasn't changed. It seems that everything has returned to normal."
"Seems like Gingka hasn't changed much either," Nazumi comments as Gingka and Kyoya swiftly sprint after their beys, with the others following suit.
"This time you're going down, do you understand me? Lion gale force wall!" A large tornado materializes and combines with the wind in the sand dunes.
"What the?"
"Kyoya trained for days to perfect the lion gale force wall to create a new special move!" Benkei declares.
Madoka takes out her laptop and warns Gingka that the tornado is more powerful than before. Kyoya laughs, and Gingka struggles with the new knowledge. The tornado explodes, causing strong winds to blast. Pegasus is thrown into a pile of rocks, but it recovers swiftly.
"You got this, babe!" Nazumi shouts and Kyoya barks at Gingka.
"You haven't seen anything yet!" The two beys begin to clash against each other again.
"Keep it up, Kyoya buddy!" When Benkei yells, Kyoya bey starts using rocks, and the others get angry and call him names.
"That's a tacky move!"
"What a cheap move to use rocks!"
"Why don't you use your bey's power for a change?"
"Enough!" Benkei and Nazumi both yell.
"A lion stalks with ferocity. This is the wild, not some civilized stadium contest, got that? It all comes down to who can survive." Kyoya remarks as his tornado intensifies.
"Are you telling me that's why you picked this location?"
"That's correct pal. "This is how a lion fights, and this is how I fight!"
Gingka chuckles. "That's absolutely true. I can still recall our first battle together when our rivalry first formed. So now I won't lose. "I know all of your attacks. Pegasus!" Pegasus begins to race toward the middle of where Leone was.
"Oh? You assume you can break through huh? Not a chance!"
"Isn't this the wilderness? I can benefit from it as well!"
Pegasus cuts down a tree, which eventually crashes on the tornado and destroys it. Kyoya, Nazumi, and Benkei are in disbelief.
"Alright!" Kenta and Madoka yell.
"Hmm, I didn't see that coming. However....." Leone leaps out, and Gingka starts to dash through the woods.
"This way, Kyoya!"
"Gingka, come back!"
The two beys begin crashing into one another more, shattering rocks and wreaking havoc. The rest of the group follows suit.
"I think this is getting out of hand!" Says Kenta.
"I believe they ought to stop,"
"I just fixed Pegasus, too!"
"Haha, this is hilarious!" I'm so pumped Kyoya, this is a great battle."
"Say that while you can, 'cause I'm going to settle this once and for all!"
"I don't think so! I won't lose to you. Pegasus has the upper hand when it comes to attack types!"
"Oh yeah?!?"
"Go, Pegasus!" Pegasus collided with Leone, sending him flying into a tiny muddy pond. The bey was still spinning.
"Leone!"
"Special move, Pegasus star booster attack!" Leone couldn't use its special move because it was stuck. Jumping up against the treetops, Pegasus took off into the air before coming tumbling down.
"Not quite!"
Suddenly, a muddy tornado appeared and collided with Pegasus' tornado.
"This ought to settle it."
"Move Pegasus back!" The two begin fighting again until Pegasus is in the mud and Leone is flying.
"Go Kyoya, woohoo!"
"I know that's right!"
Kyoya utilizes his special move and delivers a lengthy speech about defeating Gingka. "I am the wild king of beasts!"
Following their collision, there is a tremendous explosion that leaves a sizable hole in the ground. When the smoke cleared, Pegasus and Leone had transformed, leaving the others in complete disbelief.
"What?"
"Madoka, when did you add the transform feature?"
"I didn't do anything at all! What about you sis, did you happen to do anything when you repaired Kyoya's bey?"
"Hell no, you know I'm not that kind of bey fixer. Since I'm a blader, I don't have the brainpower for that," Nazumi declares.
The two beys are even faster and stronger; they collide with rocks and trees, and the others chase them as quickly as they can. Another larger explosion occurs as the beys abruptly strike each other at an even more unfathomable speed. When the haze dispersed, the beys were still spinning and Gingka and Kyoya were both unconscious.
"Gingka!"
"Kyoya!"
"There was something wrong with the beys, but what?"
