As the gang filled Kenta in on the mysterious floating girl, he had a lot of questions.
"What's her name? Who is she? What type of bey was that? She jumps off cliffs? Is she aware that jumping off of cliffs is dangerous? She really jumped off? How? Tell me!" he wanted to know.
Those questions sound strikingly familiar, thought Madoka.
"Aw, man! Did you see that?" Gingka was bouncing all around, excited about the match he had just seen.
"The competition is stiff this year! I hope I can battle her," Masamune said, polishing his bey.
Yu was right, she wasn't battling with all her strength that day against me, Tsubasa was deep in thought. Is this her true strength?
Yu just licked his ice cream, running in his head the probability of going against Kayla.
Kayla, on the other side of the gigantic stadium, was having mixed feelings. She liked the feeling of battling again. It fit like a glove, giving much more freedom than jumping off cliffs. But, should she ever be pushed so far in a battle as to use that move... She preferred not to think about that.
"Ice cream to drown your sorrows?" Ryutaro knew his friend well.
Kayla immediately perked up. "Do you have any?"
"There's a stand over in section 3," he pointed. Ryutaro went back to his rituals, fanning incense and muttering words.
She jumped up, "You want anything?"
He didn't even look up, "Milky Way Swirl."
"Are you sure they'll even have a freaky flavor like that?" Milky Way Swirl was a combination of chocolate and chocolate chip cookie dough, with a mountain of chocolate syrup on top. She rolled her eyes when he didn't answer.
"Section 3, here I come!"
"And ANOTHER THING, boys are just so irritating, you know?" Kayla's ability to strike up a conversation with anyone about anything was superb. So when the line was long at the ice cream stand, she talked to the girl behind her. Her name was Rin, and she fidgeted in line while Kayla just blabbed on and on.
Rin was twisting her dark brown hair, while staring at her black and white sneakers. She shifted her weight side to side, a little intimidated by the girl ahead.
Kayla didn't notice, of course.
"I mean, I'm the one who needs ice cream, and now Ryutaro wants some Milky Way Swirl. Why do I have to get it? Oh, that makes me sound conceited, sorry, forget everything I just said-"
"Milky Way Swirl is my favorite." Rin said. It was one of the few things she had said in their entire exchange other than, "My name is Rin."
Kayla turned.
"You know what? You're pretty cool. If anything, you're a great listener. Unlike some people, for example-"Kayla rattled on.
Rin heard some kid crying out in the distance.
"Is that just me, or is there a kid yelling for help…" Rin turned to see Kayla already launching her bey. It immediately lifted her up into the air.
"You coming, Rin?" Kayla asked.
She didn't wait for a reply. Kayla was already racing towards the shouts.
"Oh, it's the Burly Five! Hey, guys, long time no see!" Kayla called. The five were circled around Yu, holding Flame Libra above his head.
"Give it back, you meanies!" Yu kicked their legs.
The Burly Five just laughed, tossing around his bey, and taunting him.
"It's over here."
"Nope, I got it."
"You want it, little dude?"
"Come get it!"
Kayla was surrounded by a white aura, and then…
"Hey, where'd she go?" asked Burly Henchmen #1.
A flash of white light, and she was standing on his head.
"Don't you know the honorable way to fight, you big dummies?" Kayla prodded, a smirk appearing on her face.
Meanwhile, Rin was running towards Madoka as fast as she could. She got to her friend, and in one swift breath:
"!"
(She said, "I was standing in line for ice cream and this girl with a camouflage bandana was really friendly and then she flew off to save Yu from these huge scary guys and I had to run all the way here to get you to help!")
Rin looked like she was going to pass out. Especially when everyone just stared at her blankly.
Luckily, Ryutaro, who was wondering why it was taking Kayla so long to get ice cream, had overheard the, "girl with a camouflage bandana was really friendly and then she flew off," part.
"Kayla?" he asked.
Rin nodded, happy to have someone understand.
The beys were all launching at Kayla. The Burly Five figured if she could bend the rules and defy gravity, they could bend the rules a little, too.
By the time Ryutaro and Rin had gotten there with the gang trailing behind, Kayla was curled up in a tight ball, her white aura surrounding her like a shield. The Burly Five's beys were aimed not at Kayla's bey, but at Kayla herself.
They're all coming at me at once! Once one of them is repelled back, another one comes at me. I hate to admit it, but this strategy is working, she thought. Her force field of protection was getting smaller and smaller.
"Whoa," Masamune said, "this girl's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve."
If only I could take them all out with one blow, but I can't do that and keep up the shield, she thought, scared. Then, it occurred to her.
"Oh, no! No, no, NO! I am NOT using that move!" she cried.
"Just use it!" called Tsubasa, "What's the worst that could happen?"
"The whole WORLD could explode!" she exclaimed. By now, the Burly Five's beys were making contact with her skin, brushing past. One would have hit her eye had she not put up her arm to protect herself.
The Burly Five were guffawing like crazy.
"Sure, a little squirt like you could have a move that powerful!"
Kayla changed. She let go of the force field altogether. She straightened up, no longer in a ball. The aura went from white to purple. Her eyes glowed, as a winged unicorn flew high into the sky from her bey.
"Oh, Celestial Alicorn, how nice of you to join me," she said calmly.
The Alicorn nuzzled Kayla's head.
Ryutaro stared, already knowing what was coming next.
"Supernova Black Hole Blitz," she said.
And with that, the Alicorn burst into a million pieces.
Didja like Rin? Didja like the Blitz? How do you feel about the Burly Five? Tell me!
