Madoka

It wasn't the best day at the B-Pit. Well, it wasn't the best week. No, it's worse than that. I haven't been happy since this war started. Every single day, people have come in and out asking me to fix their beys that have been abused. I should've just let them keep their broken beyblades. That'll teach them to destroy them for no reason. But that's not how business works.

I haven't gotten any good work done because of it. The B-Pit is officially mine and I haven't gotten to do anything! It drives me insane that I can't push this business forward. I refuse to retire with the B-Pit being the absolute same.

"Ms. Amano, we have some more beys for you." My assistant said.

"Of course you do." I sighed. "Parker, we need the day off."

"Agreed." He said.

"Are you currently seeing anyone?"

"Yeah," he laughed, "my love of beys!"

"Let's spend Saturday night together." He nodded in agreement and went on his way. I should've done that twenty years ago.

"Ms. Amano, you have visitors." The secretary said. Our phones were out so she couldn't call.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"They work for the WBBA."

I followed her out to see who it was. And when I found out, I nearly hit the floor. "Oh my... Is it really you guys?" And it was. It was Gingka, Masamune, Tsubasa, Yu, and two other boys. One looked exactly like Kyoya when he was a teenager while the other one looked like Tsubasa. "Who do we have here?"

"This is Msaka." Gingka introduced. "Kyoya's son."

"And this is Mamoru, my oldest." Tsubasa said.

"It's nice to meet you." I told them. "I'm Madoka."

Just as expected, Yu got straight to the point. "So how's Libra?"

"Parker!" I called. "Flame Libra T125ES, Tendo!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"More beys for you, Ms. Amano." The secretary told me.

"No! More beys?" I sighed. "I'm sorry, guys. I've just been so busy fixing beyblades because of this war. It's ridiculous."

Gingka nodded. "I feel like I'm letting everyone down for letting it get this bad. I'm ready to take action and end this, but I have to find everyone first."

"I'm guessing that's where I come in." I said.

"You have access to your repair records." Masamune said. "Has anyone important come by?"

"Just you guys and Kenta."

"Kenta?" They all asked.

"Where is he?" Gingka asked.

"What has he been up to?" Tsubasa asked.

"Who is he?" Msaka and Mamoru asked.

I took a step back from all of the questions. "Whoa whoa whoa! Calm down! I haven't spoken to him recently, but I do know that he's going somewhere to train."

"You don't say..." Gingka rubbed his chin. Then, he took out his tablet and started messing around. "Search: Kenta Yumiya." He said into it. "Search: Tetsuya Wataregani. Search: Hikaru Hazuma. Who else?"

"What about Kyoya?" I asked. "And Benkei?"

"Search: Benkei Hanawa." He waited for his device to respond.

"What about Zeo and Toby?" Masamune asked.

"I don't know if they'll even help us, Masamune." Gingka snapped at him. "Those two are causing so much trouble. Do you have any idea what they've done?"

Masamune shook his head and shrugged. "I think you're the only one who knows."

He sighed. "They've been pointing fingers and telling me lies about the E. U. team. And their team has been doing the same. There's been a loss of documentation so, apparently, no one is who they say they are! And in case you haven't noticed, the WBBA is now lacking authority."

"But didn't you say that the U.S. is on our side? Them and India?"

"I did. And they are."

"Then what's the problem?"

"The US is only on our side. If I tell them to get involved with the EU, then they'll rebel and come after us." Gingka started pressing and sliding on his Geo-Blade. "I can't seem to find the papers they lost. It's ridiculous. The download link keeps getting interrupted, and I suspect that someone in Africa corrupted it." He got onto his tablet and showed us the error screen.

"Maybe it was Kyoya." Masamune laughed.

"It's amazing how someone can take a document at such a fast speed." I said.

He nodded. "It's not how it was when we were kids; things just coming in on the fax machine. Now, it's even harder to keep things private."

"Excuse me..." Mamoru said. "I don't mean to interrupt, but..." Before he could actually interrupt, his father gripped his shoulder with one hand and held his back with the other. He gave a little groan. Mamoru held on to him as Tsubasa started to cave in. "Can we get a chair?"

"Yes, of course." I said. "There's one right behind you." I pointed to the wall next to us that had a row of chairs. "Please, sit."

Tsubasa slowly (very slowly) sat down with Mamoru's help. He groaned again. "Thank you."

"Tsubasa, what happened to you?" Gingka asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

"It's nothing."

"It's not." Mamoru disagreed under his breath.

"What do you mean?" Gingka asked him.

Mamoru looked at his father. Tsubasa gave a sigh and looked down at the floor. "Dad got hit in the back with someone's beyblade to protect the family, and he refuses to see a doctor." He answered for him.

We gasped. A beyblade to the back can't be good. But Tsubasa shook it off. "It's nothing. I'm fine."

"But, Tsubasa..." Gingka said. "You can't go on like this."

"I know." He said. "But I can't not go on like this. If I go to the doctor now, they'll probably keep me for a while, and I can't leave my kids alone for that long. I can't leave them alone at all."

"That's why he can't work." Mamoru said. "And with his injury, it's a lot harder. That's why I chose to do it."

"You're a good son, Mamoru." I nodded.

"Thank you."

"Search: Ryooshi Tategami." Gingka said to the device. Then he said to me "Kyoya's son is out looking for him. And their mother is very sick."

"It's that plague, isn't it?" I asked. He nodded. It wasn't an official name, but it might as well be.

"We need to get started already!" Yu huffed. "Come on! Let's get started on a plan! Forget everyone else!"

I nodded. "Let me fix you guys up first. Hand me your beys."

"Thank you, Madoka." Gingka said, handing me the bey. Pegasus was so dusty and unused. Before I could ask, Masamune gave me his as well as Mamoru and Msaka. I was a little confused as to how he got a bey with this war going on. Wasn't Tsubasa worried about him getting robbed? But then I realized that it was Earth Eagle.

"I'll have them ready in a second." I told them. "In the meantime, please make yourself at home... Well, get comfortable."
