Small Lady Princess Serena II, Rena, as she preferred whimpers softly as she tries to stand up. She didn't know why her mother used her as a punching bag, or a concubine, but she was getting out. She shakes out her long light blue hair, which she inherited from her father and puts it up in a braid, with a white ribbon interwoven. Then she packs up a bag with a change of clothes, and a few other things, she shoved a lot of stuff in her subspace pocket, changes into her most common clothes, takes along several pairs of shoes in subspace, and leaves behind her scout gear, save for her crystal, which her grandma had taught her how to block anyone from tracking or using.
She sighs and slips out, vowing to use the special paper to send her grandma a letter explaining why she had to leave. She was even leaving her kitten behind. As she races off four others breathe sighs of relief, their princess was going to be safe.
Chapter One
Rena, now known as Rena Morigawa, flinches as several blades are launched at her. These people weren't bey bladers, " Hey, leave her alone. "
" Oh, look, it's Gingka Hagane, the nomadic blader. "
" She's not even a blader and you're harassing her, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. " Gingka says.
Rena takes in his appearance, spiky red hair, black pants, blue short sleeved blazer, blue fingerless gloves, orange sleeveless shirt, red bey belt, and golden brown eyes, along with his white scarf. " She can't pay the toll for coming into town. "
" I thought I had settled that. " Gingka says and Rena can see a light blue glow surround him.
" Right, sorry, Gingka. " the leader says and they all scram.
" Are you all right? "
" Yeah, I am, thank you. " Rena says.
" As you might have learned, I'm Gingka Hagane. "
" Rena Morigawa. "
" We need to get you a blade, or you'll never survive. "
" I don't know the first thing about battling. "
" I can teach you, Rena. " Gingka says.
" You'd really do that? " Rena asks.
" Of course I would. " Gingka says.
Rena finds herself having fun for the first time in years as Gingka teaches her. With his teaching her she started gaining points easily and winning her battles. Gingka observes his student, she wasn't ready to be on her own, she still needed someone who could teach the bullies a lesson, but at blading parks she'd be fine, as long as he was there to back her up. She was also soon able to customize her blade and she made sure to maintain her blade as well. Her blade was Moonlight Pegasus and his was Storm Pegasus.
Normally Gingka travelled alone, but until his student was ready to be on her own he couldn't leave her, " Rena, where are you from? " Gingka asks as he watches her brush out her hair.
" Crystal Tokyo. " Rena answers, locking eyes with his golden brown ones.
" Wait, you're the runaway princess. Why'd you leave? "
" Because my mom's an abusive bitch. " Rena says.
" Can't you report her? "
" She's the queen, what can I do? She makes the laws. " Rena says.
Gingka sighs, " You're right, that is a no win situation, no one will find out from me. "
" Thank you, Gingka. " Rena says.
" Hey, let me brush that hair of yours. " Gingka says.
Gingka smiles as he runs the brush and his fingers through her long pale blue hair before he deftly puts it up, ribbon included, " Where did you learn how to do that? " Rena asks.
" I stayed around these orphans for a time and by taking care of them I learned how to braid hair and I just never unlearned the skill. " Gingka says.
For the first time Rena ended up sleeping in Gingka's arms and he wasn't about to wake her up just so he could move. He got himself comfortable instead and settled in for the night. He'd heard her suffering from nightmares the previous nights, and to think that her mother was probably starring in most of them.
Three Years Later:
" Gingka, what do you think of Gangan Galaxy's chances this year? " Kenta asks.
" I think we're gonna do it again. " Gingka says and then he pauses, he could have sworn that he had felt Rena's bey spirit. He starts to walk towards Madoka's place again when he feels it once more, it was flickering on and off. Gingka doesn't even have to think twice, he took off in the direction he felt her bey spirit in and his eyes widen when he finds her.
" Rena! "
Her green eyes, colored with contacts, flicker his way, " Go, Pegasus, Star Dust Driver! "
Gingka's eyes widen as she takes in his bey spirit and uses it to fight back. Her foe is vanquished and takes off, like a coward before either Gingka can get a look at her. Rena turns to Gingka, " I finally caught up with you. "
She pitches forward and Gingka manages to catch her, barely, " What happened to you since we parted ways, Rena? " Gingka murmurs just as Kenta catches up.
" Gingka, who's that? "
" Rena Morigawa, Kenta, take her blade to Madoka, and tell Madoka once she's done with it that she secures it as best as she can, or that she gives it to Masamune. " Gingka says.
" Gingka, Madoka's on that trip with her dad, remember. " Kenta says.
" All right, follow me, we're going to the WBBA, at least there her bey can get the maintenance it needs. " Gingka says, swinging Rena up into his arms.
" Right, Gingka. " Kenta says and follows Gingka to the WBBA.
" Gingka, who's this? " Ryo Hagane, the director of the WBBA and Gingka's father asks.
" Rena Morigawa, she was just in an intense bey battle, she needs a place to crash and her bey needs some serious maintenance and once her bey is done, bring it to me, okay, and Dad, don't let anything happen to that bey, got it. " Gingka says, and heads for one of the guest rooms where traveling bladers could stay.
Ryo nods, the girl and the bey must be important to his son, " Hikaru, I need you to take this bey in for maintenance and stay with it until said maintenance is done. I don't even want to guess what Gingka will do if we let anything happen to this particular bey. "
" Right. " Hikaru says, she'd seen the way Gingka held the owner of the bey, him already having a girlfriend would explain why he hadn't looked at any girl, she had started to think he was gay.
In the guest room Gingka sighs as he cleans Rena up the best he could without undressing her, " Gingka, how do you know her? " Kenta asks.
" I saved her from some punks three years ago and then taught her how to blade, we travelled together until I felt she could handle herself, she finally tracked me down again. " Gingka answers, though deep down he was worried, a bey battle alone shouldn't have put his Rena into such a state.
" Just how strong is she? " Kenta asks.
Gingka grabs her point counter and looks for himself, " She must have traded in some points for a new part, last I knew she was close to a hundred thousand. "
Kenta blinks as he looks at the point counter for himself, " Forty-five thousand seven hundred points, she's like you. "
" Well, I did teach her everything she knows about blading. " Gingka reminds Kenta.
" Still, she could have just been a mediocre blader, she's a prodigy, like you are. " Kenta says.
" True, she did take to blading like a fish to water. " Gingka says, letting his hand rest on her forehead, and not a moment too soon either, he could feel her glamour fail, and knew her sigil was now showing.
Whatever had happened to her she'd been through the ringer, that was certain, " Kenta, I need you to see if you can figure out what happened to her before she got here, have Tsubasa, Yu, and Benkei help you. "
" What about Masamune? " Kenta asks.
" Have him come here, okay. " Gingka says.
" On it, Gingka. " Kenta says
Gingka looks up twenty minutes later as his father and Masamune enter the room, " Close the door, what I'm about to tell you two does not under any circumstances leave this room, understood. "
Ryo and Masamune look at him, they'd never seen Gingka look so serious before, " Sure, not a problem. " Masamune says.
" You have my word, Gingka. " Ryo says.
Gingka lets his bey spirit flood the room and then he removes his hand from Rena's forehead, Rena had taught him how to activate the Silence Wall with his bey spirit, that way they could talk and not risk being overheard, she had to be very careful about how much power she used if she didn't want to be found by her mother, " Oh my, is that, is she…. ? " Masamune stammers.
" Yes, that is the sigil of the Lunar Royal Family, yes, she is the princess that ran away, but she had her reasons. " Gingka says.
" What were those reasons, Gingka? " Ryo asks.
" Her mother used her as a punching bag, she got fed up and left. " Gingka says, giving the short version, the version Rena normally gave, he knew the truth though, her mother didn't just physically abuse her, she was also sexually abused, which Gingka wasn't about to reveal, Rena didn't care if people knew she was physically abused, she'd trusted him with her secrets and he would not break that trust, ever.
Ryo sighs, " There's only one way we can protect her, and that's to make sure no one finds out who she is. "
" She legally changed her name and destroyed all documents saying that the princess existed. She's legally Rena Morigawa now, but I'm hoping that will change to Rena Hagane soon. " Gingka says.
Ryo looks at his son, " You're serious about that, aren't you, Gingka? "
" I am, Dad. Because of who her father is we can stay in touch via our dreams, even though this is the first time I've seen her in person in three years, we've never really been apart, Dad. " Gingka says.
" Gingka? "
Gingka's attention snaps to the teen in the bed, " I'm here, Rena. "
" Where am I? "
" WBBA HQ in Japan. " Gingka says, sitting on the bed so he can look at her.
" Good, I was afraid I'd been taken back. " Rena murmurs.
" Why? " Gingka asks.
" The asteroid scouts, they came after me. " Rena says.
" How'd you get away? "
" Just because I'm a blader, it doesn't mean that I can't fight as a scout. Grandma and Grandpa trained me. Sailor Moon III made her appearance and kicked some serious ass. Of course, I've been taught how to hide my power signature and that sort of stuff, they didn't track me down until a month ago, which means they still don't know about your connection to me, Gingka. " Rena states.
Gingka holds her back as she tries to sit up while Ryo checks on the status of her bey, " Gingka, I'll be back, the maintenance on her bey is done. "
" See you in a bit, Dad. " Gingka says.
Masamune looks at the pair before him, he could see the strength of the bond between them, " Gingka, once she's able why don't we head for Koma Village, you're old enough to get married there, right? "
Rena blinks, " That would be one way to keep her from sinking her hooks back into me. "
" Masamune, I have to do this right. " Gingka complains.
" Sorry, dude, but it is the best option. " Masamune says.
Gingka looks down at Rena, loving adoration in his eyes, " Well, Rena, it's completely up to you. Will you marry me? "
Rena smiles at this, " Of course I will, now come here, you. "
Gingka allows himself to be pulled down into a kiss, which was very much welcomed. Gingka kept things light, though he so very much just wanted to dive right in. " I love you, my Rena. " Gingka murmurs, pulling back.
Rena grins, " Which do you love more, blading or me? "
Gingka blinks, " Ah, no fair, I love you and blading equally, you know that, but nothing will keep me from being there when you need me, if it's within my power. "
Masamune blinks, he knew Gingka would be fiercely loyal and protective to whomever won his heart, it seemed as though Gingka had already found his girl before they'd even met. " Miss Morigawa, here is your bey, good as new. "
" So, you're Gingka's dad. I can see where he gets his personality and looks from. " Rena says.
" You're too kind to me. " Ryo says as Rena takes her bey.
Her sigil is hidden once again and Gingka sighs in relief, " I hate it when you have to be separated from Moonlight Pegasus. "
" So do I, but I couldn't do the maintenance myself and we both know that you suck at maintaining your bey. " Rena says.
" Why do you two hate it so much for Rena to be separated from her bey? " Masamune asks.
" Because Moonlight Pegasus is her star seed, her life force. " Gingka answers.
" Which is why such meticulous care is taken of her bey, right? " Ryo asks.
" Yes, that's right, Dad. " Gingka says.
" Oh, wow, that means whenever she battles she has to be careful or she could die. " Masamune says.
" It's not that big of a deal. I fight with a bey instead of as a Sailor Scout. Though at least when I fight as a scout my star seed is safe. " Rena says.
" In other words, don't worry too much and just live life. " Gingka says.
Rena smiles, " I'm glad I met you when I did, Gingka. "
" You need to rest. " Gingka says.
" I'll recover faster with food and you know it. " Rena says.
" Dad can go get you some food, because I'm not leaving, at least not now. " Gingka says.
" Any preferences to food? " Ryo asks.
Rena smiles at this, " Yeah, the hottest chili you can make. "
Ryo blinks, " Are you serious? "
" I inherited my grandfather's taste buds and my grandmother's appetite. Grandpa always eats hot, though I do have grandma's love of sweets as well. " Rena says.
" All right, I'll be right back. " Ryo says.
" Masamune, I need you to make sure no one has guessed who she is. " Gingka says.
" Gotcha, Gingka. " Masamune says, heading out the door, he could see why Gingka had wanted him to come to him.
Gingka helps her sit up, " I hate this, Rena. Hate the fact that we constantly have to look over our shoulders just to make sure you're safe. "
" I don't like it any better than you do, Gingka. You think I like the fact that I have to be scared of my own mother, that I had to cut myself off from my family that I still love and want to see? "
" I know, this is hard on you too, I just wish there was some way to get you out of all of this, permanently. "
Rena sighs at this, " Well, unless my immortal grandparents get busy and have another kid then I will have to take the throne eventually. "
" Which means I will be the King of Crystal Tokyo when I only want to be a blader, if it means I get to keep you then I'll do it. " Gingka says.
" Hey, what's with the atmosphere in here. " Ryo asks.
" Oh, just thinking about the future. " Gingka says.
" Yeah, about the fact I'll eventually be Queen of Crystal Tokyo unless my immortal grandparents decide to have more kids. Though I do have an uncle whom could easily have a kid that could take the throne, because I really don't want it. I never want to go back to Crystal Tokyo ever again. " Rena says as Gingka takes the bowl and starts to feed her. Normally she hated being waited on, but with Gingka she knew he did it because he wanted to.
Rena savors the taste on her tongue, " Not bad, but definitely not a Wildfire Special. "
Ryo blinks, " You eat that chili, my god, you are Sanada's granddaughter, aren't you? "
" Heard of my grandpa, huh? " Rena asks.
" He's like the best pro soccer player out there. " Ryo Hagane says.
" Yeah, he can play again now that mom is running Crystal Tokyo, most people don't even connect Neo King Ryo and Ryo Sanada together, how do you know? " Rena asks.
" He told me our families would be one, one day as he was passing through Koma Village, I didn't think he was serious. " Ryo admits.
Gingka smiles, " So I'd have her grandpa's approval? "
" Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, Gingka. " Ryo says to his son.
" Oh, Dad, once she's recovered we're heading to Koma Village to get married. " Gingka says.
Ryo sighs, he should have seen this coming, if they'd been staying in touch through their dreams then they'd basically been dating for three years. " All right, I'll make sure I'm there, and your friends will be coming, right, Gingka? "
" Of course, it wouldn't be the same without them, though once we get Rena's situation settled we'll have a bigger wedding. " Gingka says.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Beyblade: Metal Fusion or Metal Masters. I do own Rena Morigawa and any other grandchildren of the scouts. I also don't own Ronin Warriors or any other various anime that will crop up.
Author's Note: I do not hate Rini, but I don't think I've ever seen a story like this and just thought I'd do it. It is different because I have Ryo and Serena married, and the scouts married to different Ronins. Mars/Halo, Venus/Torrent, Jupiter/Hardrock, Saturn/Strata, Moon/Wildfire.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto had children through in vitro, and Mercury's granddaughter Adriana, called Dria, is Kale's daughter. Jupiter's grandchildren are Jaden Yuki and his little sister Jada Yuki, eleven years younger than Jaden. Venus' granddaughter is Catrina Kaiba, making her Seto Kaiba's granddaughter as well, called Trina. Mars' granddaughter is Reina Date, though only because her father died before her parents could get married.
Jada, Trina, Reina, and Dria will definitely appear in this story and other anime characters may be mentioned.
