The Dark Nebula Castle stood in its usual silence. Everything was quiet except for the pattering of rain and the occasional rumble of thunder.
Clack….clack….clack
The sound of heels clacking was heard. A young girl, a brunette, was seen making her way through the long dark corridors. The manner in which she walked gave the indication that she was used to the creepy silence.
Her name was Ryllis, one of Dark Nebula's most active members and the most powerful blader around; or so she thought.
She came up to a door but before she could knock a voice called out from the inside,
"Come in Ryllis. I've been meaning to speak to you. And don't forget to close the door. There is a new assignment. Are you interested or not?"
"Well, even if I refused I wouldn't gain much from it, would I?"
Doji replied, impassive as ever, "I have recruited a new member, a Tsubasa Otori. But the interesting part is that he volunteered himself, which is quite rare owing to the fact that most of the bladers hate us. But the point is I want you to keep an eye on him."
"Do you seriously want me to follow him around like a puppy?"
"I have already assigned someone else." Doji went on completely ignoring her. "He will arrive in a minute or two."
Just as he had finished the door opened revealing a small blond boy with green eyes. Judging by his height, he must be about eight or nine. But what stood out most was his extreme cuteness; the boy was without doubt the cutest person alive.
But before she could hug him to death, another figure revealed himself from behind the shadows. He had a long silver hair tied in a loose pony-tail and a pair of striking yellow eyes.
Doji spoke up, "Ryllis, this is Yu Tendo and Tsubasa Otori, the new recruit. Yu, Tsubasa, this is Ryllis one of our most active members. She will be your other guide, Tsubasa."
Yu blurted out, "But Doji, I thought there were no girls in Dark Nebula. Heck, I thought girls were not even allowed. She is not even worth a battle. I bet Libra can defeat her with one hit."
Well, that was shocking. Ryllis was the one who trained the amateur bladers recruited by Doji. She was the one who was responsible for producing highly skilled bladers. So the comment made by Yu was unacceptable.
So she responded back, "If that is what you think then let us battle and see who wins."
However, before the fight could get worse, Doji interrupted, "Ryllis stop it. You don't know who he is. He is one of our most strongest bladers. You don't stand a chance against him. And if I am not breaking apart your fantasy world, you are considered the strongest only in the E-Section. I think it's time I introduce you to some of the bladers. Yu, Tsubasa, you two may go now."
Ryllis was shocked. She couldn't believe that she was kept apart from the stronger bladers. She thought she knew everyone in the Dark Nebula. It was only at that time she became aware that Doji thought her to be weak. In her surprise, she didn't notice Yu and Tsubasa going away.
So the rest of the day was spent in introduction, surprises and shocks. She met the twins, Dan and Reiki; the crab, Tetsuya Watarigani; Kumasuke, Kumata and Kumaji; Ryutaro Fukami; Tobio Oike and dark Nebula's No.2, Reiji Mizuchi.
The most interesting thing for Ryllis was she learnt that the rumors about the forbidden bey, L-Drago, being in Dark Nebula's possession was true; although she wasn't allowed to meet the wielder of L-Drago. She guessed Doji must have thought it too risky to allow her.
She also learnt about Dark Nebula's true intention, to unleash the power of Lighting L-Drago so that they could 'rule the world' or something.
According to Ryllis the day was not wasted. She learnt a whole bunch of things. So returning to her room, she silently thought of the next day; the day she would start her assignment.

-A/N: This is my first fanfiction. While writing it seemed so long but now it looks like though I was over-estimating myself. Please review.
