Madoka sat quietly fanning herself on her bed. She was currently sitting in a considerably large room that was filed with nothing more than bunks. The walls were a white color and the floors an oak color. There were few windows letting the sun shine in through the curtains. Madoka was currently at one of the safe havens a few miles away from Metals Cities neighborh cities. It was early morning and most of the others were at breakfast, Madoka wasn't hungry through. Besides she knew she wouldn't get much food. Rations had been cut smaller again and she'd rather it go to someone else. It wasn't just that though, the past few days she hadn't been feeling too well the past few days. It was probably just a flu or something she was around hundreds of people everyday so she knew she was bound to get sick at some point. The events that had happened a few days ago also contributed to her unwillingness to leave the bunk area. Recently the guards that patrolled the place had gotten too agressive. They didn't allow anyone in and no one was allowed to leave. They even were given orders to use force on anyone suspicious of acting in nemesis's favor. They made it clear they didn't care who was involved a few days ago when they shot at Kyoya.

"Kyoya get back into bed right now!" Madoka's voice rose over the Leone bladers mumbles of protest. Kenta watched as Nile pushed himself up and out of bed, obviously still not fully healed. The two friends had came to the safe camp a few weeks ago. Both had been starving, dehydrated and injured. So they were brought in fed, healed and taken care of by the best people around. But when they found out that they weren't allowed to leave, well, that didn't sit right with Kyoya.

"Let go! I won't let them keep me here like a caged animal."

"Kyoya you'll get hurt even worse if you-Nile what are you doing!?" Nile grabbed Madoka's arm and pulled her out of Kyoya's way. Kyoya took this opportunity and excited the small room.

"Just let him do this" Nile gentle pushed her back onto his bed. "I need to help him now." Kenta sat down next to her, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Relax Madoka, Kyoya is a strong guy. He'll take care of himself and make sure he gets where he's going."

"I know that, it's just that in times like these we should be sticking together not running around blindly in the wastelands."

Meanwhile Kyoya watched as Nile drew the two guards away while talking and pointing into the distance. Kyoya waited another moment before taking off to come face to face with the eight inch fence that stood in his way. He smirked this, this was to easy compared to some of h9s previous training. He began climbing as quickly as he could. Kyoya had gotten to the top when a voice called out at him.

"Get down from there!" bothe the guards turned away from Nile. The first man raised his gun and the second one followed. "Were ordered to take out anyone who could a threat or follower of Nemesis. This is your last warning!"

Kyoya continued his descend down the chain link fence. Stopping half way down he called to Nile, "you know what to do after I leave Nile!" Nile nodded, fully aware of Kyoya's plan that would begin over the next few days. Another warning followed from the guards then came two gunshots.

"What are you doing!?" Nile shouted in shock. He hadn't expected them to actually shoot at his friend. A shout from Kyoya was heard as he fell down to the ground. Nile grabbed at the first guards shoulder, only to feel the butt of the man's gun fly back into his lip. After stumbling back Nile felt a new sting of pain in his right eye. "Do you even know who he is?" Nile asked, holding his face in pain.

"We're simply following the orders given to us!" One of them called over their shoulder as they both ran after Kyoya.

That had been a few days ago and there had been no sign of Kyoya since, leading for the three to assume he got to where he wanted. Nile had since been more carefull around the guards and stuck with Madoka and Kenta most of the time. If someone tried to take food or any other supplies from Madoka he was there to make sure that didn't happen. And if someone was picking to Kenta then he would be there to challenge them, since Kenta had lost his bey.

Though Madoka wasn't fond of the orders the guards have been following lately, it had to be better than living in the ruins of Metal City or anywhere else. Just one thing was always in the back of her mind; Ginga. She missed her redheaded friend and thoughts of the troubles he may be going through kept her up some nights.

"We're leaving." Nile and Kenta walked in, Nile has been the one to speak. "Tomorrow night, I think I have a safe way out of here." Kenta sat down next to Madoka.

"We're meeting up with Kyoya back at the city." kenta smiled. "Kyoya has a plan!" He exclaimed happily.

"What is it?"

"I'll explain once we're out of here. There's been rumors that followers of Nemesis are inside the camp, we can't have anyone overhear the plan" Nile sat across from the two. Madoka noticed something missing.

"Nile, where's your bey?"

"There's a new rule being enforced" Kenta spoke up, "all beyblades are being confiscated."

"Why would they-"

"They think a blader isn't to be trusted anymore. So they took Horuseus from me." Nile wasn't too happy about it. "That's why we have leave, before things get worse and trust me they will. The people here don't care about us, why do you think they so much more than us. They're follow orders to keep us alive, but casualties are no big deal."

Madoka looked at Niles fading black eye and cut lip, "what will happen if we get caught leaving?" she wondered aloud.

"A punishment is likely, but I won't let anything happen to you and Kenta." Nile reassured the hesitant girl. "Come on Kenta, curfews coming up soon. Madoka, we'll meet you outside of the supply room tomorrow night." Madoka nodded her head in agreement.

The next day Ginga had woken up at dawn. He wasted no time in collecting his things and began to leave. He'd only gotten to the doorway when he stopped. Looking down he realized that he had stepped on a picture frame. After bending over to pick it up Ginga brushed the dirt and dust off. His heart sank a bit in sadness. It was several small photos taped together, all of his friends from around the world's. Most were teams from the world championships, Hyoma, Sora and some others. There was even a picture of all the legendary bladers together in there; Ryuga included. The pictures brought happy memories for Ginga, but it also caused him to realise something. How would he make sure his international friends were okay? With Masamune all the way in America with Toby and Zeo, he couldn't possible get to America. China and a few other areas around the world were a different story. Unlike America Ginga was able to get through, but all he ever got was a static screen and muffled voices he couldn't make out.

Ginga continued to walk out of his father's office and WBBA, he didn't have time to worry about that right now. After meeting up with some of his friends he knew were still around then he could worry and create a plan. For now Ginga tracked along the streets looking for any needed supplies, also any clues as to where the nearby safe havens were.

An hour or so passed when Ginga stopped his searching and sat down on a large rock near the park. He had found some much needed supplies for his trip out of the city. He had also been in the B-Pit for the first time since he'd been on his own. Besides old memories Ginga had found some spare parts and basic bey maintenance tools. He figured Madoka would be happy to see her old tools again, that and he hoped she could fix Pegasus up a bit. Ginga was also happy when he found a list of locations of the many safe places around the world, some were scribbled off though, but the closest one was an hour or so on foot outside of the city. That gave Ginga his first place to stop, also more motivation to get going.

In fact Ginga jumped right up, feeling more pumped than ever. He was so ready to leave that he began to run down the street, he ignored the soreness in his ankle. He made it to the outskirts of the city in only a few minutes, but Ginga suddenly halted to a stop. For the first time in days he heard another person's voice.

"Ginga." A rough but weak voice was heard. Ginga turned quickly with pegasus out and ready to be launched. Pegasus was quickly put away though, because the face in front of him was all too familiar.

"Ryuga?" Ginga looked at the L-Drago blader in shook. Ryuga wasn't looking too good with the gashes and injuries all over his body and torn clothing, his signature white jacket was tattered towards them end and his golden headpiece now missing. "Ryuga!" The once great dragon emperor took a final step before collapsing into the dirt in exhaustion. Ginga rushed to his side, concern written at over his face. Who could do such a thing to Ryuga? Ryuga was one of the strongest out there, who could've attacked Ryuga, won and injured him so badly? Ginga growled slightly in anger, sure, Ryuga hadn't always been the nicest guy, but when it came down to fighting Nemesis he had joined them. "Don't worry Ryuga I'll help you." Ginga took one last look around, he hoped whoever did this wasn't still hanging around.

I'm surprised I finished chapter two so quickly! I hope you guys liked it. I mentioned that Ryuga joined Ginga and the others in the final battle with Nemesis, in this version Kenta managed to convince him to lend his power. Anyways you can expect an OC to make a brief appearance in the next chapter, also we'll find out what happened to Ryuga and some locations of three legendary bladers will be discussed. So keep an eye out for it!
