Chapter 1: The invatation
(Ricky P. O. V.)
After the fight with gelusion, we continue our daily life. Apparently at Crestland, Ken is the new South B-Master. I really miss them.
Right now life return to back it was before. And it's starting to get boring, of course I'm still play cross fight with my friend, but I feel that something is missing and I can't get a picture of what is it.
Right now, I am sitting alone at my seat while waiting for the teacher to come. Sumi has ran of to her friend and leave me alone. I look at my left to see that the seat is empty. 'She absent again' I thought.
Just then the teacher come in and she is holding our report card. Is she finish mark in all our result? That was fast .
After we greetings our teacher, she start to checking for the attendance. After she finish, she has an announcement to make.
Teacher: Today, we will have three new students that will joining our class, I hope you can be friend with them. You three can come in.
Then three boys come in the class. They are familiar to me. They are Novu, Kamon and Samuru. It is really surprise to see them here at my school.
Teacher: Please introduce yourself
Novu: Greetings, my name is Novu Moru. I just move here from South City. I hope we can be friend.
Kamon: Hai, my name is Kamon Godai. I am from Crestland. I move here because of my father work. Nice to meet you *smile*
Samuru: Nice to meet you, my name is Samuru Shigami. I am from West City.
Teacher: You three can seat at the empty seat. Ricky, please raise up your hand.
I raise my hand as the teacher ask. The three of them is surprise to see me but they look calm and went to their design seat.
Teacher: As you all see, I have finish mark in your result. Please come to front to take it when your name is being called.
The teacher then call one by one to the front. Their expression is either happy or sad.
Ricky: So Sumi, how's your result?
Sumi: Terrible, I got a F on science and math again. I totally will gonna be scolded by my parents.
Ricky: It's okay Sumi. You can try harder next time.
Teacher: Kakeru Ryugasaki.
I stand up and walk to take my report card. When I return, I look at my report.
Sumi: So how about you Ricky.
Ricky: *read the report card* it is okay, I guess..
Sumi: Liar, give me that. *try to take Ricky's report card*
Ricky: No way *hide it from Sumi*
Suddenly, someone took my report card. I turn to see Kamon holding my report card and read it with Samuru and Novu.
Kamon: *reading Ricky's report card* Wow, amazing Ricky. You get A in all subject.
Novu*read Ricky's report card* I never knew your the type of study Ricky.
Ricky: Hey give it back.
Kamon: *ignore Ricky* look he got full mark in math.
Sumi*joining reading Ricky's report card* I know right, he may look dumb but he is one of the top student in school.
Novu: Interesting, what about you Samuru. What's your opinion?
Samuru*Reading Ricky's report card* I amazed at your result, Ricky. Even I can't get this good
Sumi: Right. But he always say 'it is just my luck'. He didn't want admit that he did well in the exam. I am so jealous.
Ricky*manage to take back his card* relax Sumi. It is just the midterm exam.
Sumi: Okay.
Kamon: That remind me.*look at Ricky*
Ricky: What?
Kamon: We want to ask you something?
Ricky: What is it?
Before Kamon even got to ask, the teacher finally finish giving all the report card.
Ricky: Let's talk about this later at recess.
She then open her book and continuing her lesson.
TIMESKIP.
It is recess. Kamon, Novu, Samuru, Sumi and I are eating our lunch at one of the table under a tree.
Ricky: So Kamon, what's it you want to ask at class *munching sandwich*
Kamon: Oh yeah, it's about your full name.
Ricky: My name?
Kamon: Yes, the teacher just say your name was Kakeru. But when you introduce yourself to us, you say your name was Ricky. So which is you real name?
Ricky: It's Kakeru. Ricky is just a nickname.
Novu: How did you get the nickname?
Ricky: A friend name it.
Samuru: really?! Who name it ?
Ricky: A girl that is sitting next to me however she is absent today.
Sumi: And that girl happen to be his best friend.
Kamon: Really *smile*
Novu: I smell gossip.*smirk*
Samuru: Who is she? * smirk*
Ricky: Her name is Sakura.
Novu: That's it?
Ricky: Well Yes..
Kamon: That's the only think you know about her?
Ricky: No, no.. I just don't know how to introduce her.
Sumi: It is okay Ricky.
Ricky: I don't mind. Anyway, Rory say she want to meet us toady, right. Do you guys know something.
Samuru: No .
Kamon: But it seems suspicious to me.
Novu:I know but we just have to wait to see for ourselves.
Then we heard the bell rings.
Ricky: Looks like recess is over. Come on let go to class, we have science after this.
Sumi: I hate science.
Kamon: you say the same thing with Math.
Sumi: I hate those subject
Novu: No wonder you fail *smirk*
Sumi: Shut up.
We laugh as we hear her comments and went back to class.
TIMESKIP
At WBMA stadium.
After school, we rush to the stadium. When we arrive, we saw the other had already arrive. Even Misuru and the other has also come.
Misuru: Vroom Vroom it's long time we saw you guys. So Kamon how was you first day at school.
Kamon: It was great. I am in the same class as Ricky. And it's turn out that Samuru and Novu are also transferring to his class as well.
Bakuga: Really?! Wow that's a big coincidence.
Kamon: I know right.
Genta: Anyway, do you guys know why we been called here?
Basara: *appear out of no way* Apparently, they have an announcement to make.
Ricky: Really?! I wonder what is it?
Just then Rory appear with Mr Takakura, Mr Genusuke and Mrs Himiko.
Rory: It is everybody here?
Reggie: Yes.
Novu: What is this about?
Rory pull out a letter from her pocket and show us it to us. The letter had a stamp that really familiar with me.
Rory: We have been invite to participate in a world class tournament.
Everyone: What?!
Novu: Who organized it?
Mr Takakura: The B-Daman Elite Group.
My head start to pain when I heard that name. Where did I heard it? Why I know about it? I just can't remember anything.
Everyone expect Ricky: The B-Daman Elite Group??
Hugo: Who are they?
Mr Genusuke: They are the top b-shot that rule all b-shot in the world.
Derek: Are they really that powerful?
Himiko: Rumors say that they are even more powerful than Dragold and Gelusion.
Ken: If they so strong, why didn't help us defeat Dragorld or Gelusion?
Mr Takakura: That we don't know yet.
Rory: We don't know the reason they send this invitation in the first place. They didn't share any of their information with us and we don't like being in the dark.
Mr Takakura: That's the reason we call you here. We want all you to compete in this tournament and investigate about this group agenda.
Everyone except Ricky: Yes.
Mr Genusuke: And one more thing *push a remote at the screen and it display someone* We have been received reports that you guys are being followed.
Rory: We can't identify anything about this mystery but we manage to identify that this mystery person is a b-shot.
Yuki: How you guys know?
Himiko: Watch closely *Genusuke zoom in the picture*
Asuka: No way
Bakuga: It's that a b-daman.
Basara: And no just any b-daman.
Novu: It is a white dragon type.
When I look at the b-daman, it make my head hurt even more. Memory coming in fast and make my head feel dizzy.
Samuru notice my action.
Samuru: Are you okay, Ricky?
Yuki: You look kinda pale.
Ricky: I am *hold his head* fine..
Simon: Are you sure?
Ricky: Positive
I try to smile to make the other not worries but it fail when I lost my balance.
Yuki: *hold Ricky* Ricky?!
Rory: Ricky, I think you should go to the medical room.
Ricky*try to stand up* What are you saying, Rory?I am fine. See
But the dizzy come back. And I can't hold up much longer. I then passed out in Yuki hands.
(Samuru P. O. V.)
I just stand as I watch Ricky lying on the bed. What is wrong with him. He just fine this morning but when he see the pictures, he start to pale. Now I think about it, Ricky face just turn pale when he heard the group name.
Why? Did he know them? Did he knew the owner of the b-daman?
I decide that I will ask about this later with Ricky and walk back to the stadium.
When I arrive, everyone looks at me with worries. They are really worry about Ricky's conditions
Yuki: How is he?
Samuru: The doctor say he is fine. He just need a rest for a while.
Kamon: What a relieve.
Then one of the WBMA work come in.
Worker: Mr Takakura, we have found new clues about the mystery person.
Mr. Takakura: Really, show it to us.
The worker nodded and show us a picture of a crest. That crest make me and my father eyes wide.
Mr. Takakura: A crest ?
Worker: We discover this crest on the person weapon.
Mr Takakura: Do you know what the crest come from?
Worker: No, We still investigate about it. Apparently, someone is trying to hide this information from being expose. We are now trying to find out what the crest means. We tell our progress later.
Mr Takakura: Thank you.
The worker leave to continue his work.
Mr Takakura: Mr Shigami, from the look of you face, I think you know what is that crest means. Will you be care to share you information with us
Mr Genusuke: *look at him* Of course, the crest that you just saw is the Shigami clan crest.
Himiko: Are you sure about it Gen-chan.
My father look at me and give a sign. I then take of my left glove and reveal a tattoo that the same as the crest in the picture.
Rory: You are right, it is the same.
Yuki: Where do you get that crest?
Samuru*wearing back his glove* my grandfather put it on me.
Sumi: That's weird, the crest is the same one as the tattoo on Ricky's left shoulder.
Samuru/Mr Genusuke: WHAT!!
Yuki: What did you mean?
Sumi: Well, I once saw that tattoo on Ricky shoulder about 2 years ago. He also has that crest on his spear.
Novu: Spear?
Sumi: Ricky had been learning martial art for years . After he master Kendo, he decide to learn to use a spear.
Kamon: Ricky is learning martial art?! Amazing!!
Yuki: Since when he learn that?
Sumi: Since he was a child himself. It is something that he adapt from his best friend.
Yuki: I see but the questions is..
Novu: How did Ricky get that crest in the first place?
Suddenly I feel a presence is watching us. I look around to find it.
Bakuga: What is it, Samuru?
Samuru: Can you feel it.
Basara: yes, Someone is watching us.
A voice: Your a smart one.
Out of no way, a cage fell on top of us.
Basara: Who's there?
A voice: My my, aren't you patient.
Then a boy walk in. He has black hair and indigo eyes. He is wearing a blue shirt underneath a long brown jacket with black belt, black slack and brown boots . On his belt attach a sword. He is holding a whale type b-daman.
Novu: Who are you?
Boy: No one, just a random stranger passing by.
Rory: How did you manage to get in without alarming the security?
Boy: You security isn't hard to break through. Even a five year old can break it. *smirk*
Asuka: What do you want us?
Boy: I don't need you guys. My master only ask me to bring someone to him. *smirk and look at Samuru* So Samuru Shigami, please follow me quietly or your friends will get hurt.
Just then my father step in front of me and glaring at the boy.
Mr Genusuke: What do you want with my son?
Boy: Oh nothing, we just want to... use him as a bait.
Misuru: A bait.
Boy: Of course, we just want to make her get out of her hiding place.
Samuru: Who are you referring to?
Before he can answer suddenly, he been attack by someone. But the boy manage to draw his sword and stop his attack.
Boy: My, my. You really didn't want them to know it. That's really you Ricky.
The attacker turn out to be Ricky who is holding a spear.
Ricky: What are you doing here?
Boy: It is none of your business.
Ricky: It is my problem, when you are involving my friend*glare dagger at him*
The boy then use his sword to push Ricky and jump back.
Boy: You are the same as ever, Kakeru. Always protecting your friend even they will betray you in the end.
Ricky: Shut up. I won't let you hurt or take them away.
Boy: Okay then, let settle it with a battle. I always want have a rematch with the former member of the B-Daman Elite Group. *smirk*
Ricky: So am I but, I won't lose to you!
