Gingka and his friends, Madoka, Masamune, Tsubasa, Yu, and Kenta were walking over to the bey park from the WBBA after talking with Gingka's dad and Hikaru for a little training.
"Hey, Gingka! Let me battle you first, ok?" asked Masamune.
"I don't see why not. Okay then! I'm battling you first Masamune!" Gingka replied, smiling.
"Hey, Tsubasa, wanna battle with me?" asked Yu, tugging at his friend's sleeve.
"Okay. But I'm facing Kenta right after," replied Tsubasa.
They all entered the bey park, only to find that someone was already battling. It was a girl about Gingka's age. Her opponent was…Kyoya!?
"KYOYA BUDDY! DON'T LOSE TO A SHRIMP LIKE HER!" Benkei, a friend of Gingka's, yelled from the stands.
"BENBEN!" Yu said excitedly, running over to his friend.
Gingka and Co. walked over to Benkei and sat down. They watched intently as the battle raged on.
"So, Benkei, do you know the person that Kyoya is battling?" Madoka asked.
"No. She never introduced herself, but she seemed like she knew Kyoya. Maybe he knows her, or something," Benkei replied, shrugging.
"You're pretty good for someone who just walked into town. What's your name, kid?" Kyoya asked.
"One, I'm the same age as you. Two, we're in the middle of a fight. And three, HOW DO YOU EVEN FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?" the girl yelled at Kyoya, obviously angry at him for some reason.
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! TELL ME!" Kyoya roared.
The two beys clashed, sending sparks flying throughout the stadium. Leone, Kyoya's bey, spun faster and faster.
"Alright! LEONE, SPECIAL MOVE! LION GALE FORCE WALL!" Kyoya yelled.
A wall of wind rose out of the bey. The girl's bey began inching closer and closer to the twister.
"Avoid it. It's not like it could cause you any damage anyway," the girl said, brushing off Kyoya's attack like it was nothing.
"Why you! CHASE IT, LEONE!" Kyoya yelled furiously.
"End this, Pegasus. I don't want to be in this fight any longer. I have better things to do than continue a fight with a boy who doesn't even remember who I am. It's just a waste of my time," the girl said, quite disdainfully, "Pegasus, use Lightwing Burst and finish this meaningless fight."
All of a sudden, the girl's bey began to radiate a brilliant white aura. Gingka and Co. had to look away from the blinding light. When the light subsided, Leone had stopped spinning and was lying at Kyoya's feet.
"What!? How could you beat me!? I'm the king of the wild, the lone lion, the one and only Kyoya Tategami!" Kyoya protested.
"One, I'm a better blader than you, always have been, always will be. Two, you already gave me that speech. And three, you completely forgot about me. That's pathetic, Kyo," the girl said, recalling her bey and shaking her head in disappointment.
She looked around, her eyes finally resting on Gingka. Her face turned red as she stared at the redheaded blader. He looked back at her, tilting his head in slight confusion. She turned away and Gingka could see a fairly large scar down her right eye.
That scar, Gingka thought, I know that scar. I know her. I can't believe it! I thought she died back then. How is she here!?
"Hey, Gingky. I'm so sorry that I never called. It's not that I didn't want to, it's just that I couldn't. I'm sorry," the girl said, not looking Gingka in the eye.
"I…I…" Gingka stuttered, blushing slightly. He walked towards the girl.
"What?" the girl asked, not even bothering to turn around to face Gingka.
"I just want you to know-" Gingka started.
"I WANT A REMATCH! BATTLE ME ONE MORE TIME!" interrupted Kyoya.
"Well, that was just rude, Yo-yo," Yu said, glancing at Kyoya.
"DON'T CALL ME YO-YO! MY NAME IS KYOYA! KYOYA!" Kyoya yelled at Yu.
"I won't fight anyone who hasn't figured out who they truly are. Unlike Gingky," the girl said, turning around to face Kyoya and glancing at Gingka briefly before continuing, "Gingky knows what he's doing and who is as a person and a blader. As does Ry, or as you know him, Ryuga. You, Kyo, still have not. So get to it."
The girl turned back around and walked out of the bey park. "HEY, WAIT!" Gingka yelled, chasing after the girl.
She turned. "What? Oh, it's you. What do you want?"
"Um… Well…" Gingka stuttered, blushing.
"Oh, just spit it out already. I don't have all day."
"I… Um… I… How should I say this? Um… uh…"
"GEEZ, GINGKY! JUST SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!"
"Wanna have a battle with me? We could go for a burger afterwards. I just wanted you back, Alexa. I thought you died back when-"
Alexa looked up and into Gingka's eyes. She smiled. "Of course, you idiot. Why wouldn't I?"
Gingka blushed even more. "It's just that… You were acting a little harsh to Kyoya and I back there. I thought that you were mad at me, or that you didn't remember me, or you wanted revenge for what happened, or that you didn't forgive me for what I did, or-"
Gingka was cut off because Alexa enveloped him in a hug, tears streaming down her face. Shocked at first, he slowly wrapped his arms around her, burying his face into her white-ish blond hair. A lone tear rolled down his cheek as he listened to her hushed sobs. As the two bladers embraced, Gingka whispered in her ear,
"I'll never leave you ever again."
