Hey guys! So this is the second of the Forced Love.

Well, eight years past instead of seven. And there were extremely long. For no one really wanted to do anything.

Year after year they would think about the old times. The fun times. Not knowing the real reason why Gingka left really got to them, even though he explained. They understood how he felt. He had the weight of the world on his shoulder yet again. And he did admit that he was scared of failing. So that's why they didn't take it too personal.

But Kyoya, was a different matter. He know why Gingka left.

He know why he left without telling them or saying goodbye. It was his fault. Because he didn't control his feelings and forced himself on Gingka.

His work was good, he was the director of battles. He would decide who would battle who, and organize the stadium. He didn't really like his job, though. He only worked to get his mind off of things.

They were two directors for the battles, Kyoya and another person. But two weren't needed, but Tsubasa thought he'd be nice and offer Kyoya the job.

The battles were intense. For the Neon battles were being held every single day. The winner at the end will be claimed the strongest blader in Bey City.

Zero was one of the top two. He would be battling Kira, a DNA blader which has a huge amount of strength. They both were in the finals meaning one of them would be claimed the Champion of Neon battles. The battle would be held at the evening the next day.

Zero was excited, nervous and freaking out. This will be the battle that would claim the number one blader in Bey City. He was training with Benkay at the moment and was slowly getting worn out. But he didn't give up, he wanted to prove to a certain somebody that giving him the bey wasn't a mistake. He wanted to make him proud.

His mentor, Gingka Hugane. The one who gave him his bey. When they first met, they both were young.

Zero's P.O.V

When I first met Gingka, I thought I was dreaming.

I always dreamed of meeting him. I always hear stories about how amazing he was and still is.

They said he was kind, humble, loved by all people. I mean come on, who doesn't love him?

When I walked up the street when I arrived in Bey City I herd some girls probably his age, talking about him. Every single girl wants to be in bed with him, and that's just wrong. Of course, they are talking about when he was thirteen. No one knows what he looks like now, so they can only wonder and dream.

Sometimes I feel sorry for him even though I only met him once, for the way people talk about him, they all have a fantasy of being in bed with him.

They say when he was thirteen, he was cute, adorable and had a nice body and all that. But, he deserves respect, and to me that is just being rude.

And what I noticed, is even guys talk about how cute he was.

It makes me shudder and freak out. I can't help but overhear them talk about what they are going to do with him if they ever get their hands on him. I feel weird talking about him like this, and I'm really embarrassed of eavesdropping on these, (clears throat) perverts.

Well, my battle is tomorrow. And I really really really hope he shows up. His appearance would mean a lot to me and would definitely increase my power.

End Zero's P.O.V

Time skip

Today was the battle. Everybody was excited about it. Who wouldn't be excited and nervous when you have a strong blader from the DNA battling? And who wouldn't be excited when Gingka's apprentice is battling against him?

"Zero, you got this! Just believe in your self and you'll win this thing!"

Said Benkay while pulling Zero under his shoulder and ruffling his hair causing Zero to squirm for release.

"Okay...okay I get it, geez!" He yelled after getting his head out.

Everybody shared a laugh at the younger blader.

"Now Zero, no matter what happens, you have to not give up, that's what Gingka used to tell us" said Kenta.

Yes, Kenta was here along with Dynamis, Tithi, Aguma, Chris, Masumane, and king. They herd of Zero being Gingka's apprentice and wanted to meet him personally.

"Gignka never gave up, as long as I've known him, he never said that he can't do it, it was always 'I will do it' and he actually did " said Masumane.

"Thanks guys, I feel pumped up about this battle, but it would be nice if I could hear it from Gingka himself" said Zero sadly at the end.

"Well, no one knows where is he, no one even knows what he looks like, he just left us suddenly. He told us he was stressed out from the battle of nemesis. But don't worry, I'm sure he's alright" said king.

Everyone sighed at this and went to the stands above from where Zero is supposed to battle. Zero however, stepped in the hallway where he's supposed to wait until the battle begins.

"You know, the kid's right. It would be nice if Gingka would come and see his battle" complemented Aguma.

"no one really knows what happened to Gingka before he left, we all know Gingka just wont leave out of the blue" replied Madoka.

They all nodded their agreement.

"well, lets hope nothing happened to him and enjoy this battle" suggested Dynamis.

Everyone nodded and turned their gays to blader DJ.

"Hello and welcome to the most exciting battle of the year! Here we have most of the legendary with us to celebrate with the champion of the Neon battle! I was really looking forward to see Gingka himself come, but he didn't! As we all should know by now, that Zero is Gingka's apprentice so we expect a lot of him in this battle! So with no further ado! We have Zero Kerogane! Please give the warmest welcome you can give!" Said Blader DJ.

After Zero heard his name, he stepped up and went to the stadium waving to all the people who were cheering him on.

"And now we have Kira! The strongest blader from the DNA!"

Kira then stepped out from the hallway and walked calmly to his side of the stadium. He smirked at Zero and said:

"I don't really care if you're Gingka's apprentice or not, I will crush you like I crush everyone else"

Zero looked at him and said clearly not afraid of him and said: "well its your own fault for not caring, to me its an honor for having Gingka as my mentor! And I will show what a true bey battle is like right now!"

This kept on going back and forth for at least 15 minutes until everyone said:

"just get on with it, leave your bickering after the battle!"

So the battle began and they both launched. (Note: I really don't like writing the battle because its just too long and I don't know what half of the moves are called, so just role with) they both dodged and attacked until Kira called his special move.

"Efrit! Get out of there!" Zero yelled to his bey as Kira's bey was hitting it from the all sides.

"Zero, I thought you were supposed to be strong like your mentor, I can't believe what he saw in you that made him want to give you the bey" yelled Kira making fun of Zero.

Zero gritted his teeth as Kira kept on repeating the same attack over and over.

"You're not going to win Zero, face it! You barely know how to dodge! Do you know why Gingka isn't here? He probably doesn't care about you! If he really did then he'd be in the stands cheering you on!" Said Kira with a smirk.

Zero now didn't know what to do. Kira wasn't giving him any chance to call a special move.

"I can't believe it! Here I thought that you'd give me a real bey battle! And all I see is you dodging! You have the worst mentor! He didn't even train you and you call yourself his apprentice" laughed Kira.

Zero then growled and finally was able to make an attack. He called his special move and actually surprised Kira with his power.

"I don't just dodge! Here! Here is my real power!" Zero yelled than calling another special move.

"Don't you ever in your life! Say what you just said! He is the best person I know! He's caring and he's kind! Even if he isn't here cheering me on, I still feel he's near me! He made this bey with his own fingers! His touches are still there! And I will defend him from your words! You Hear Me!"

Yelled Zero causing everyone in the stadium to gasp at his words.

Silence turned to whispers, whispers turned to words and words turned to cheering. They screamed their hearts out cheering him on and wanting him to win.

Zero smiled and Efrit charged at bahamoot causing it to fly out of the stadium with a thud. Kira gasped and looked at his bey. He looked back at Zero seeing him panting.

Zero retrieved his bey and caught it. The whole crowd was cheering and yelling his name. Zero looked back at the legends and noticed them doing the same thing.

He waved to the crowd and was suddenly hugged by his friends. He laughed as they threw him up in the air.

By the time he was back on the ground, Kira was walking away with the rest of the DNA.

Masumane nudged him in the shoulder and said: "now that's what I'm talking about! You reminded me of when we won"

he then hugged him and whispered to Zero: "Gingka will be proud of you" Zero nodded and hugged back.

Soon the rest of the legendary were next to the now World Champion.

"We are so proud of you!" Said King nudging Zero in the arm.

Then suddenly a voice was heard saying: "3...2...1...let it rip" followed by a bey launching.

The bey was so fast that it was hardly seen. The bey landed in front of Zero's group. The whole crowd including Zero's looked at the bey then a heard a soft voice calling to the group:

"now if that didn't catch your attention, I don't know what will"

So what did you think? Who do you think asked the question at the end?

Please review, they mean a lot to me and encourage me to write more and post faster

Bye guys! See you soon
