Okay, here is my newest creation! Enjoy this craziness!
I do not and never will, sadly, own anything Beyblade!
Well, this couldn't get any worse.
Gingka Hagane, the strongest blader in the world and Legendary Blader of Autumn, was trapped.
To be honest, he wished that he'd just ignored the weird patch of grass in the middle of the dirt path, but he wasn't that fortunate. Instead, the oddly placed grass was just a covering for a deep hole in the ground, the sides and floor of it being covered with smooth metal. He had absolutely no way out and his fall into the pit had definitely done something to his shoulder. Just looking at how his upper arm protruded at an odd angle proved his theory that something was wrong with it.
Groaning, Gingka smacked his head against the steel coated wall. Launching Pegasus was impossible with his arm being the way it was, though his bey wouldn't do him any good down here.
After several more minutes of just standing there, reveling in the coolness of the metal as it seeped into his forehead, Gingka suddenly heard voices above him. As he was about to call out for help, a small pellet fell into the pit. Taking a cautious step towards the object, the blader was going to ask whoever was above him what it was before the thing started spewing gas.
Coughing and gasping for air, Gingka caught a glimpse of a silhouette above him just before he passed out.
"Hagane," a distant voice called. Ignoring whoever it was, the redhead went back to sleep. "Hagane!" the voice yelled louder than before. Again, Gingka ignored the owner of the voice. "Hagane!" came the shrill scream seconds later directly into Gingka's ear.
Bolting into an upright position, he yelped as he clutched his ringing ears, "I'm up, I'm up! Just stop the yelling! My poor ears can only take so much!" After getting over his initial shock of being suddenly and rudely awakened, Gingka looked around himself. There, standing directly in front of him, was a glaring Kyoya and Ryuga.
"About time you woke up," Ryuga huffed.
Gingka growled, "Grr, Ryuga, that wasn't funny!" He raised his hand to his forehead and groaned, pulling it away only to find a few light traces of blood on his fingers.
In response, Kyoya smirked at his rival as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Yes it was," the Leone blader retorted.
Gingka rolled his eyes as he stood up and brushed the dust off of his shirt while glancing around the dark room. "Mind telling me where you two brought me?" he asked, shooting a glare at the two who promptly ignored the heated look.
"How should we know? We're just as stuck in here as you," Kyoya growled, his eyes flicking around the room.
"Well, do you know how we got here or who brought us here in the first place?" Gingka asked, walking towards one of the walls to try and find a way to escape.
Ryuga ticked irritably. "Some pathetic scum who didn't have anything better to do. He obviously didn't know who he was messing with!" Ryuga snarled as he whipped out his bey and launcher. "L-Drago!" he yelled as he launched. The Dragon Emperor was shocked when his bey made no dent in the steel walls around them. Gritting his teeth, Ryuga commanded his bey to attack the same spot again and again, but the only thing that was happening was the loss of L-Drago's spin strength. Calling his bey back to his hand and reattached it to his launcher, the Summer blader whirled on the other two. "Well don't just stand there! Launch and get us out of here!"
With a grunt, Kyoya pulled out his bey, but when Gingka moved to grab his, he gripped his elbow tightly, not daring to touch the actual injury itself as he mentally screamed in pain. His two rivals, who had taken aim at the section of metal L-Drago had previously been trying to obliterate, turned towards him when they didn't hear the familiar sounds of Gingka preparing to launch.
Seeing the flash of pain on his rival's face, Kyoya arched a brow. "What happened to you?" he asked sharply, though with an underlying tone of concern.
Gritting his teeth, Gingka shook his head. "I'm fine," he grunted before moving to grab Pegasus with his good arm, clenching his injured one close to his body.
Kyoya suddenly grabbed the wrist of of Gingka's right arm, pulling it away from Pegasus' carrying case. "No, you're not," he replied shortly, glancing behind himself to see the nearly completely masked worry on Ryuga's face. Knowing exactly what Ryuga was thinking, Kyoya shuddered: If Gingka was hurt so much that he couldn't even get Pegasus out of its case, then their chances of escaping had just dwindled considerably.
"Where again did Aguma say that Gingka was last spotted?" Madoka asked Maru as the group trekked through the thick woods, following Maru as she led them towards the coordinated set on her computer.
"Aguma said that this was where he was last seen, Chief, but I'm not sure where that is," Maru replied, showing Madoka her screen.
Sighing, the bey mechanic glanced over at Zero who was rigid, his fist tightly clenched and his teeth grinding together as he held back his anger. The call from Aguma had upset them all greatly, but Zero was furious.
~FLASHBACK~
"We have reason to believe that they've been captured," Aguma said gruffly through the speakers in Tsubasa's office.
"Who's been captured?" Zero asked as he and Shinobu, Ren, and Maru walked into the director's office.
Benkei turned at the sound of Zero's voice and replied angrily, "Three Legendary Bladers!"
The group of young bladers turned to Madoka, knowing that they could get a much better explanation from her. "Ryuga, Kyoya, and Gingka are all missing," she murmured softly.
The group gasped as Tsubasa nodded in confirmation. "B-but how?" Shinobu stuttered.
"We're not sure. That's why I called you: to ask if you could help by searching the area around where Gingka was last seen," Aguma replied.
"Why not Ryuga or Kyoya? Wouldn't it make sense to search where each of them were last seen instead of just one?" Madoka asked.
Aguma practically snarled out, "Because those two have stayed hidden for the past four months! They haven't told any of the other Legendary Bladers where they were and we only found out that they were kidnapped by this creepy masked guy who supposedly kidnapped them!" The Saturn Blader then sighed as if a huge weight had just been lifted from his shoulders. "Sorry, but they both know they're supposed to check in with us every week, not every four months."
Tsubasa nodded in understanding. "So, they've been off the charts for that long, meaning they could have been captured before or after Ginka and you have no idea, right?"
Aguma nodded. "Pretty much. I'll send you guys the coordinates just as soon as Yuki shows me how to work this thing," he stated, glancing over his shoulder to glare at an unknown person who was laughing. "It's not funny!"
"Yes it is," Yuki chuckled as he came into view. "Hi guys!"
The adults grinned at their friend. "Hi Yuki!" they called in unison.
After waving to them, the Mercury Blader gave Aguma a few quick instructions before stepping away at the Kronos blader typed a few things on a tablet. A few moments later, Maru's computer beeped, proclaiming it had received the coordinates. Smiling triumphantly, Aguma nodded. "Good luck."
~END FLASHBACK~
Gingka was important to anyone who valued beyblade in any way, but to Zero he was that much more. Having received Ifraid from the legend himself, Zero already had high respects for Gingka. Now that someone had kidnapped him, the Ifraid blader was almost livid with anger. How dare someone take the World Champion?
Zero's fist tightened and stomped forward, nearly falling into a pit that was in the middle of the path they had just come to. Losing his balance for a second, Zero's arms flailed wildly before Shinobu and Ren were able to pull him back to safety. Sighing, he nodded in gratitude to them before peering down into the hole along with the others.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. "Who leaves a perfectly good hole lying around in the middle of the road?" Zero asked. His anger was nearly forgotten before he saw it. Without a moment's hesitation, the blader leapt into the fifteen foot deep pit, much to everyone else's surprise.
Straightening from his crouched position upon landing, Zero walked towards the object that had caught his attention. Reaching for the blue fabric that was caught on a rock, he sucked in a sharp breath. The white emblem of Pegasus proudly stood in the center of the piece of fabric. A deep crimson stained a section of the fabric just to the left of the white emblem.
Zero lightly ran his thumb over one of the wings as two hot tears fell from his eyes, his hands shaking as he squeezed the world famous headband.
Turning sharply towards the side of the pit he had jumped down from, Zero's eyes had become hard as flint. "Someone has hurt Gingka," he growled as he climbed out with the help of his friends.
No one said a word, but no words were needed: whoever had done this was going to pay dearly for it.
Dun dun dun... Just kidding. This is only the first chapter, but I need encouragement to continue writing it! Don't let me stop! Oh and this idea originally came from Galaxypegasus14. So thank you Galaxy for letting me thief your idea! XD
