Shogun Steel Chapter 4: Zyro vs. Kira
Communications Log: The final battles of Neo Battle Bladers has begun.
The announcement of the eight lucky bladers who racked up enough points to continue to the finals had been announced. Kira, not surprisingly one of those bladers. Because Kira instructed Angel it was his job to go to the finals Angel had to take a backseat at this tournament and leaned against one of the far walls with her arms folded. 'Doesn't really matter. Wouldn't be my place to make a mess of things today. I'm not sure winning this tournament would have gotten me what I want anyway.' She thought. Why not leave the dirty work to someone else Kira was pretty set on destroying anyone he faces now.
Kira looked pleased with himself while tracking down the other blader he had brought here today. "Congratulations Master Kira. I knew you'd make the top eight." Angel said from her spot. "Was there every any doubt? I am the best!" He bragged. Like most of them led into the clutches of the DNA they had all been manipulated into believing different things and that their dreams were an arms length away. "Don't look like that Ayame." Kira reached out grabbing Angel's face which her reply was to casually move his hand away. "Once I win this tournament I'll show them all how powerful I really am. Then it's only a matter of time before I get to take over the BeyBlade world." "Hm." Angel did not look impressed. "What's this?" Kira turned an accusing eye at his partner in crime. "That's just fine for you but I believe I was promised a piece of glory once that plan happens." Angel said placing her hands on her hips. "How silly of me," Kira said in a mocking tone. "You want Director Tsubasa don't you? When this is settled you can do whatever you like with him the director will be all yours." This time Angel smiled. "I look forward to that day. I don't think it can come soon enough."
From the stands Angel sat and watched one heated bey battle after another. It was fun watching the young bladers compete against one another with their clashing of spirits hoping to make it to the final round all until Kira stepped on the stage. Angel was aware of how prideful and arrogant Kira was after spending some time at his side but when it came to his battle with Shinobu, Angel got to witness first hand how nasty Kira could really be. All those horrid things he said were just too much. Sure Angel joined the DNA for her own reasons like the rest of the DNA bladers most of which thought they'd become much stronger and become better than the rest but in her heart Angel knew this was no way to have a bey battle. She did fight along side the Legendary Bladers, become friends with them and had even turned the tower of Spiral Force into something that helped others.
While there was some time in between Kira's battles Angel left her place in the stands briefly to go see him. "Was that really necessary? I don't think you had to be so hard on Shinobu. You're trying to win the final battle not destroy everyone you come across." Kira didn't like it when anyone talked to him this way he was too use to doing things his way. "I think you're starting to forget your place Ayame. I own you, remember?" Kira place a hand to his chest for emphasis. "And have you already forgotten what you're here for? I thought it was your goal to destroy Director Tsubasa. I don't know what your deal with him is and I'm not going to question it so don't you question my motives." Kira put his hand against the wall pinning Angel in place. "I'd hate for you to start getting in my way after I told you not to. Do I make myself clear?" Angel kind of smirked at Kira. She wasn't afraid of him like some bladers would be and in a way she kind of craved that close attention. "Yes, Master Kira. Perfectly." "Good. Now I have a tournament to win. And don't forget if you do as I say everything will go according to plan." That's right, Angel did forget for a moment she needed this to happen just as much as Kira did.
Kira never said anything about sitting still he just mentioned for Angel to do as he said and he hadn't given any order other than that. So while Kira was busy trash talking his next opponent Angel decided it would be more fun to slip away for a while and check things out. 'It's been a long time since I've roamed the halls of a WBBA building. In fact this one has been completely reconstructed. I kind of miss being in this territory…' Angel had a suspicion that she couldn't get very far before someone would stand in her way but she wanted to find something, anything of importance. Unfortunately the director was in his office so that was a no-go. 'I wonder if he ever leaves his office?' Angel thought peering around a corner. To this point Angel hadn't seen Tsubasa so she didn't know the promise he broke.
Mighty explosion! And another cyclone bey stadium was destroyed sending both bladers flying harshly to the floor. "Master Kira!" Angel was the first one rushing to his side. She had seen Kira hit the stadium floor pretty hard and didn't look so good. "Oh Master Kira will you be aright?" Angel offered to help him up. For once Kira actually accepted her help instead of brushing assistance off. Once Kira was back on his feet Zyro came walking up to the defeated blader. "That was an incredibly intense battle." Zyro laughed. "I really hope I can battle you again sometime Kira." Kira and Angel looked at Zyro. "You want to battle me again?" Kira questioned. "Yeah! You can never have too many strong rivals." Zyro said. Kira felt that had nothing to do with him and turned away to leave. "Master Kira?" Angel said looking after him. "Come on Ayame, let's get out of here." Kira instructed. Before following Kira's orders Angel looked back at Zyro. "This is only the beginning. Bladers of DNA don't give up until we get what we want." With that said Angel ran after Kira. "I wonder what that means? Who cares! I had a great time battling!" Zyro was too happy about winning his match and fighting a difficult battle to care about something that seemed minor at the time.
