(A Few Days Later in Brazil, at Night)

"I thought we were heading back to Metal City." Yukihana said as she walked beside Zero.

"Remember what that Afro guy told us before we left the mountain?" Zero asked as he pushed his way through the crowd of people.

"Something about a Night Falcon." Yukihana said not really remembering their conversation.

"I've heard that if that bey ends up in the wrong hands it can be really dangerous. A guy I know here has information on a lot of legendary beys; I just want to make sure this bey isn't one of those dangerous ones." Zero said as he looked around for a certain building.

"Open! Eyes of Medusa!" Julian shouted as his bey increased the gravity around Pegasus.

"Spin faster Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as his bey began to spin faster and faster.

"Keep him in one place." Julian said as Gravity Destroyer increased the gravity around Pegasus.

"Pegasus Star Booster Attack!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus began to move a little.

"Black Excalibur!" Julian shouted as Gravity Destroyer appeared and slammed its sword down on Pegasus.

"Ugh, Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as he watched Pegasus land outside of the bey stadium.

"That's enough training for now." Julian said as he caught his bey.

"Damn. I still need a lot more training." Gingka said as he picked up Pegasus.

"It's going to take a while before you become stronger. It took me a few months of training before I noticed anything." Julian said as he put Gravity Destroyer in its case. "Did Kyoya really become stronger than you?"

"Yeah, I don't know how he did but he became a lot stronger than me." Gingka said as the battle they had went through his mind. "He thinks he's the best now."

"Haven't you lost to other people before?" Julian asked as he walked over to the dining room with Gingka.

"Yeah, but Kyoya's only goal was to beat me." Gingka said as he put Cosmic Pegasus in his pocket.

"I say someone should kick his ass and remind him that he isn't the best." Julian said as the two teens sat down to eat dinner.

"I know someone that could do it but he's in Brazil right now." Gingka said with a sad look on his face.

"Cheer up. You'll be able to battle Kyoya again soon."

Music was playing loudly as Yukihana and Zero entered the Maisonnette 9.

Jump up, jump up, jump up YEAH! Come on! Everyone thumbs up! Jump up, jump up, jump up!

"I don't really like this place." Yukihana said as she shielded her eyes from the flashing lights.

Hey ladies let's get naughty, get drunk off this hypnotic!

"Neither do I." Zero replied as he pushed a few people out of his way. Colorful lights flashed around the club while Yukihana and Zero tried to find Zero's friend.

"Jump up! Jump up! Jump up!" A teen sang loudly with the music. The teen began break dancing as he sang along with the music.

"He's really annoying." Yukihana said as she looked at the teen. He was wearing a white hoodie with green cargo pants and a gold medallion.

"That's would be my friend." Zero said as he looked at Yukihana.

Waving her hands back and forth Yukihana tried to cover he last sentence. "A-A-And by annoying I mean-"

"It's okay; he can be kind of annoying." Zero laughed a bit as he was kicked in the back by his friend's break dancing.

"Sorry man." The teen said as he finished doing a front flip.

"Raymondo, next time you do that you'd better be ready for a punch to the gut." Zero said as he turned to face his friend.

"Well helloooo beautiful." Raymondo said as he pushed Zero out of the way and held Yukihana's hand. "Where have you been all of my life? Dinner and a movie?"

"Err, umm."

"Hang on their cowboy; I have a few questions to ask you. When I have my answers then you can flirt with her." Zero said as Yukihana began scolding him. "I m-m-mean she's with me."

"Oh, sorry." Raymondo said as he let go of Yukihana's hand. "The offer is still available."

"If you try to flirt with her again, I'm going to hurt you." Zero threatened.

"Sheesh take a joke. Alright what is it you wanted to ask me?" Raymondo asked as a few people bumped into him.

"Do you mind if we talk in private?" Zero asked as he looked around at all of the people that were in the club.

"Eh sure." Raymondo said as he began walking to the exit.

"So I'm guessing life in Brazil is treating you well." Zero said as Raymondo opened up the door that led to the alley way.

"I made great decision to move back here." Raymondo said as he closed the door behind him. "So what info do you need?"

"What do you know about a bey called Night Falcon?" Zero asked as he leaned against the back door of the club.

"Hmm the Night Falcon," Raymondo began to say as he scratched his chin, "Well for starters you really don't want to mess with that bey. In fact I would stay the hell away from it."

"It's that powerful?" Zero and Yukihana asked in unison.

"You better believe it is. Supposedly it turned on its last owner and absorbed him." Raymondo began scratching the back of his head as he tried to remember what else the bey could do. "One thing that I know for sure is that it can summon an army of shadow bladers to defend to owner."

"I'm starting to think we should find this bey and make sure no one gets they're hands on it." Yukihana said as she thought about the Night Falcon.

"How strong are the shadow bladers?" Zero asked turning his attention back to Raymondo.

"They are supposed to be about half as strong as the wielder," Raymondo responded as he sat on a nearby trash can," The person that had it last was said to be the strongest blader in the world. At least that's what I've heard."

"Where can we the Night Falcon?" Zero asked as he pulled out a map of the world.

"Hmm," Raymondo hummed as he looked at the map," I think it's somewhere in the Vinewood mountains."

"We just came from there," Yukihana chimed in as she looked at the map, "We were on the south part of the mountain."

"You guys wouldn't have found on that side. I should be located on the west side of the mountain." Raymondo said as he pulled out a map of the Vinewood Mountains.

"Are we going to train again?" Nile asked as he walked into the B-pit with Kyoya.

"Not today, my battle with Gingka took a lot out of me." Kyoya said as he sat down next to Madoka.

"Egh, well then I guess I don't have a training partner." Nile complained while he looked through the new bey parts.

"The one time we don't have anyone here to battle." Madoka laughed at the irony. "Crystal do you have your bey on you?"

"No." Crystal replied as she top inventory.

"Where are all of those guys that usually hang out here?" Nile asked thinking of the usual teams that were hanging out at the B-pit.

"Zero and Yukihana are in Brazil. Akito and Misaki are back in there home city. Zeth and Ev are back in there city checking out some new Ex Tracks. Disk, Kujo, and Kuja are somewhere in the mountains training with Frost." Madoka replied as she thought about everyone else.

"Sucks to be them." Kyoya said laughing a bit.

"Arrow and Hunter are busy finishing some new Ex Tracks for Metal City. Dagger and Wolf are helping Hunter with the locations of new Ex Tracks." Madoka said as she finished fixing someone's bey.

"Are there any good places to train here?" Nile asked as he watched Madoka work on another person's bey.

"There's a forest nearby." Kyoya said as he examined Fang Leone.

"Why not." Nile said as he left the B-pit.

"It's a little late to be training." Madoka and Crystal said in unison.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Finally." George sighed as he finished cleaning off Night Falcon. "Catch."

"You can feel the power surging from the bey." Gwen said as she connected the bey to her launcher.

"Give it a try." George said as he watched Gwen aim the bey at a stalactite.

"Let it rip!" Gwen shouted as she launched the bey into the air.

"I just realized that launching the bey at a stalactite might not be a good idea." George said in a panicked tone as he looked up and saw the bey create an explosion.

"What's the worst that could happen?" Gwen asked as the cave began to collapse.

"You did not, just ask that." George said as he began running for the cave's entrance.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"This is where you can find the bey," Raymondo said as he took out a red pen and circled a small area on the Vinewood map, "You two should be careful. This bey has a habit of keeping unwanted people away."

"Thanks for the information." Zero said as he folded up the map and slid it into his pocket.

"If you guys don't mind," Raymondo began speaking as he tossed Zero a set of keys, "I'm going to go back into the club and party! You guys can stay at my place, it's up the road."

"Thanks!" Yukihana said as she began walking towards Raymond's house.

"Nice catch." Raymondo said with a smirk on his face.

Kick Raymondo in the stomach Zero began walking away, "Shut up. We're not like that."

"Heh, heh, heh same old Zero." Raymondo thought to himself as he walked back into the Maisonnette 9.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"This place isn't half bad." Yukihana said as she looked around the small apartment.

"Raymondo loves to impress the girls he flirts with, his apartment has to be nice." Zero replied as he began laughing a bit.

"Who gets the couch and who gets the bed?" Yukihana asked as she turned on the lights in the guest room.

"I don't really care where I sleep." Zero said as he sat down on the couch.

"I guess I'm taking the bed then." Yukihana said as she closed the door to the guest room.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

(A Few Hours Later)

"WOO! That was one awesome party!" Raymondo shouted as he walked into his apartment.

"Keep it down," Zero said quietly as he put his hand over Raymondo's mouth, "Yukihana is sleeping in the guest room."

"Sorry, I forget that I have guests." Raymondo said as Zero moved his hand away from his mouth. "How's it going, it's only been like forever since we've seen each other."

"You're right it has been a while," Zero began as he thought about what had happened since he last saw Raymondo, "Well after I traveled to Metal City I met a few strong bladers. They challenged me to a two verses one battle which-"

"Which you won right?" Raymondo asked as he went into the kitchen to get himself something to drink.

"Of course," Zero said with a laugh, "I helped train of the bladers so she could kick the crap out of a few people that I didn't have the time for. After words I met this really strong guy named Gingka who really lives up to his reputation. We battled, I won, and then his father adopted me."

"Awesome." Raymondo commented as he tossed Zero a soda.

"Then I got into this whole fiasco with this guy named Tsubasa who was being controlled by some dark power and well, the usual stuff." Zero said as he opened his soda can.

"Why does all the crazy stuff happen to us?" Raymondo asked thinking of all the trouble they had gotten into as kids.

"I've been wondering that same thing," Zero said as he continued on with his story, "After a big fight with the evil version of Tsubasa I left the group and went back to Metal City. Which turned out to be a good thing because I met-"

"Arrow and Hunter, the two members that would help you form Team Hurricane," Raymondo commented as he drank some soda, "You guys became really popular."

"After winning a few tournaments we ran into these guys that used fire type beys. We decided to try and put a stop to them but it didn't go so well for us, that's when the world's best bladers showed up and kicked their butts!" Zero continued as he tried to remember what happened next. "The world champion decided to challenge me to a battle and it just happened to be one of those rare occasions where-"

"You totally kicked her ass and took the title for yourself!" Raymondo shouted has Zero punched him in the gut. "Erg."

"I told you to keep it down," Zero said in a calm down as he scolded Raymondo, "No actually I lost the battle. I did ruin her bey though, which was a total accident. Charlotte told me about this tournament that would allow me a chance to battle her again so I decided to enter."

"That's when you went in there all vigilantly style and kicked the crap out of people right?" Raymondo interrupted as he listened to Zero.

(Akashi's P.O.V)

Screeching metal echoed throughout the Junk Yard as giant wrecking balls with spikes sticking out of them passed over the Ex Track.

"Welcome to Hell." I thought to myself as I looked at all the cars and giant compactors that were scattered throughout the Junk Yard. "Hard to believe a place like this actually exists."

"Why did you bring us here?" A female voiced asked me.

"I told you not to follow me." I say to the girl as I turn around to see Scarlet staring at me.

"You told me not to but I did anyway." Scarlet said to me as she looked at the giant junk pillars that were spinning the wrecking balls around. "Why do you guys not like this place?"

"The Junk Yard is a place that most people go to when they want to die, or when they've lost all hope." I say to the girl as I sit down on an old rusted car.

"This place does give off the feeling of death and despair." Scarlet said to me as she sat down next to me. "Why did you come here?"

"Akito and I share one thing in common," I explain to Scarlet as I turn my head to look at her, "We both want to end our rivalry here."

"Why here, why not some place peaceful?" Scarlet asked me with the look in her eyes that said she didn't understand.

"That's just how we do things. Odds are only one of us will make it out of here." I explain to her as I stand up and grab my Ex Gear. "Come on, Akito and Misaki have closed the exit off yet."

(End of P.O.V)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Akito and Zeth sound like awesome people to know." Raymondo said as he finished his soda.

"They can be a handful sometimes but when you need them to help you kick someone's ass. You can count on them." Zero said as he finished his soda.

"Well since Yukihana is a free agent I think I'll try and make her my girlfriend." Raymondo said full of confidence.

"Good luck." Zero said as he laughed slightly.

"What? You don't think I can impress her with these moves?" The Brazilian teen asked as he began break dancing.

"If she is impressed then I'll call her a stupid person for falling for that." Zero said as he through his soda can away.

"That's cold man. I-I-I'm hurt that would call my future girlfriend stupid." Raymondo teased as he finished break dancing.

"I said good luck didn't I?" Zero remarked as he sat down on the couch.

"Yeah and?" Raymondo asked as he got another soda can.

"Well that's the only positive thing I'm going to say to you." Zero said as the two teens began laughing.

"What about that Scarlet chick? Is she hot?" Raymondo asked trying to keep his options open.

"Ugh, good luck." Zero replied as he began to laugh.

"Don't doubt my awesomeness." Raymondo said as he finished his second soda can.

"You're going to need a lot of luck if you're going to impress those two." Zero said as he leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Just watch, I'll make one of those two girls my girlfriend." Raymondo replied with all of his confidence.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Ugh, Enough of this. Mystic ZONE!" Nile shouted as his bey created a wall of yellow light.

"Leone!" Kyoya shouted as Leone was knocked out of the bey stadium.

"If you guys break one of my windows you're going to pay for it!" A mad female voice was heard from the other room.

"I'm done for the day." Kyoya said as he caught his bey.

"That means I win." Nile said with a smirk on his face.

"No it doesn't." Kyoya said as his eye twitched.

"Yeah it does, you quite so I win." Nile said as he caught his bey.

"You're asking for a beating." Kyoya said as he walked off to find Madoka.

"I could always get someone stronger than Kyoya to beat you and your bey up." Crystal said jokingly.

"I could beat them, Kyoya and I trained to our limits and beyond." Nile said as he put his bey in his pocket.

"I don't think you could beat the world champion." Crystal said with a smirk on her face.

"I don't think he could either." A female voice could be heard as a girl entered the B-pit.

"Well I think I could." Nile said as he turned to face Charlotte.

"And just who the hell is this? I think it's a guy who's way too confident in his own abilities." Charlotte said as she looked at Nile with fire in her eyes.

"This isn't going to end well for me." Nile thought to himself as he tried to take back what he said.

Note: Never make Misaki or Charlotte mad. You're going to regret it.

Does anyone else want to see people battling in the Junk Yard? Cause I do!
