And so it begins. Fallen metal wings starts off now and I hope you enjoy it. I will be (probably) be updating every Saturday but as the summer holidays are approaching, it could be more often. With that out of the way...

Enjoy!

I looked up from my book at the sound of metal crashing. The gym was fairly crowded today, all wanting to quench their thirst for a bey battle. My Name is Alexander Abyss. I live with my brother Zeo Abyss with our Aunt but we rarely see her as he job requires her to spend most of her time there. We do manage but it is tough on us. We are only ten at this point. My brother was standing by the bey stadium, encouraging his bey to attack and for the eighteenth time this morning, Evil Aries was knocked out of the stadium. And for the nineteenth time, he was challenged by someone else. Whether it was because he sucked or he was loved by his peers, he was always battling and always losing. I did have faith in him though. I always saw the passion he had when it came to anything he put his mind to. In short, he was an inspiration to those around him. Especially me and Toby. Toby was mine and Zeo's best friend and we always looked out for each other. When I saw Zeo panicking about his battle, I got up from my seat, folded the corner of the page I was on and walked up the stadium's steps. As soon as Zeo's opponent saw me, he started to panic as well. I was naturally gifted in reading a bey, it's user and the flow of the battle. I looked at the beys encircling each other and instantly spotted the problem when Aries was hit. The other bey was a balance type that edged towards attack but lacked stamina and Zeo just continued to absorb the attacks. It was a good strategy theoretically but it lacked finesse. If it kept going, the defence type Aries would end up in a sleep out.

"Zeo, wait for the next attack and gauge it's weaknesses as it does." He needed to know what was wrong himself but a push in the right direction never hurt anyone.

"Are you sure Alex?" His brow furrowed, his voice confused.

"Have I ever been wrong before?" I was slightly big headed but I always kept a cool head.

As the next attack hit, I noticed a flaw in the bey. It's attacking leaned towards the left every time. I looked over and Zeo's eyes lit up as he understood what to do. Or so I thought.

"Aries! Go straight for it!" As the beys connected, the opponent staggered and wobbled as it struggled to get it's balance back. Then I knew what to do. As the bey went for Aries again, I yelled:

"Go right!" Luckily Aries dodged it. "Zeo, do the same but attack it straight away okay?"

"Sure thing bro." A few seconds later, the match ended with a terrific clash of metal as the opponent's bey went flying out of the stadium.

The audience cheered Zeo as it was him who landed the blow. I wasn't upset that I didn't get the credit as I never was the type to relish in the limelight. I only wanted to help Zeo when he needed it. Suddenly, the door slowly opened and a head poked through the gap. It was a boy who was about the same age as Zeo and I with black hair with white highlights around the edge and a red strand of hair that looked like a horn, hid eyes gleaming with a certain type of happiness. However, knowing the boldness of Zeo, he and two others confronted him. Meanwhile, I continued with my book. A few seconds later, I heard the starting call of a battle and a crowd of people inhaling as a bey hit the floor. I only heard on hit. Could it be that the new guy beat Zeo in one hit? I looked up sharply an my suspicions were confirmed. He had been bested in one fell swoop. Soon, Toby was speaking the new guy whose name was Masamune Kadoya. A Japanese name? I walked over and joining the conversation.

"Care to introduce me guys?" I asked, curious if his personality matched it fighting style.

"Oh yeah, Masamune this is my brother Alexander Abyss." Zeo said, his smile widening. We were always close as we rarely had anyone else.

"Charmed." I said, my personality showing.

"He seems...polite." Masamune said cautiously. Nice guy so far.

"He's not, just very snobbish." Zeo said in the most nonchalant way possible.

"No I'm not, just articulate." I retorted, not helping myself much.

"And he has a weird hairstyle." Toby interjected

"All because of you two!" I yelled. My hair was weird but all because I lost a bet with Zeo and Toby which we do not speak of. My hair was the same height as Zeo's but mine was a beige colour and I had two small, horn-like things on either side of my for head and a larger one in the middle. Basically, I looked like a blond triceratops. But in the end I got used to it.. I also had green eyes, unlike Zeo's blue. But apart from that we were exactly the same. Same, face shape, same height, same build, same everything really. You would be able to tell we were twins

"Anyway, well done on beating Zeo. But in fairness he is the weakest here."

"Why do you always bring it up Alex?" He whined while Masamune, Toby and I chuckled.

"So Alex, do you have a bey as well?"

"Does he? He's the best here Masamune, you have to fight him!" Toby replied.

"Dull it down a bit, your a lot better than I am." It was true, we beat each other equally while Zeo struggled to catch up.

"Where's that famous bigheadedness that you always have Alex?" Zeo said smugly. I chuckled.

"Please spare me. I know when someone is better than me Zeo. You just can't keep up." I joked.

"Oh come on guys, I'll be number 1 someday, I swear it!" He vowed.

"Zeo you don't have to tell us that. Alex and I have full faith in you." Toby said.

"I agree. Just because you are a bit behind doesn't mean you'll never beat us." I said, hoping that it was a subtle enough apology for him. I never did mean that he was bad. Just unrefined.

As the day came to a close, Masamune had joined the Dungeon Gym, Zeo and Toby spent the day shadow launching and I finished my book. No one challenged me because even Coach Steel had lost numerous times to me and my bey, which had become the topic of discussion.

"So what do you use Alex?" Masamune asked, his mouth half full with jelly beans we had brought from the vendor near the gym.

"Well, you'll see tomorrow as I'm battling Coach again." I said blankly.

"Your battling the coach. Awesome! But can you at least show me?" He pleaded.

"Why not?" I pulled out the bey, noticing how giddy Zeo was. He always admired my bey. As Masamune laid eyes on it, he exhaled slowly, astonished by the bey. The fusion wheel had seven small blades around the edge, only allowing small gaps in between. Each blade had three unevenly shaped notches. The energy ring was radiant white, a perfect circle and a pattern all the way round that looked like scales. Finally, the face bolt was white with a black face depicting a chameleon. It only showed one eye which was facing downwards and to the right, like a chameleon's eye always was, it also had all three horns visible and a malicious grin with pointed teeth. If people said it looked as if it was insane, they would be correct.

"Masamune, my bey is Insanity Pumilum CH120LF. Also known as the Screaming Lizard."

"You mean your that guy!"

"He sure is! My brother won the NYC bey tournament last year. He's famous." Zeo said, jumping up and down in glee.

"However I don't talk about it much. It's just where I really bonded with Pumilum." I smile, remembering the feeling of holding the trophy up with the battle of me, Toby and Zeo in the final round.

As we walked back, I remembered those fond memories of the fun time we had. Memories were special to me and Zeo for more reasons that one.
