"Takumi? Ginga spoke up from the spot he was laying. Takumi was leaning against the wall reading a book he had found and Ryuga was lying on the other side of the room with his back turned to them. Takumi answered Ginga with a slight hum. "I didn't get to ask earlier, but I wanted to know if you were looking for someone? You know family or friends?"

Takumi was silent for a moment. "I know where my parents are and I don't want anything to do with them right now...not after what happened the last time we met."

"What happened?" Ginga sat up and looked at the boy with a confused look.

Takumi shook his head. "It's nothing Ginga." Ginga nodded, forgetting the questions he had for his new friend. Ginga didn't understand why Takumi wouldn't want to be with his family, especially at a time like now. Ginga shook it off as none of his business and looked back at the sky, spotting several familiar constellations. "Do you really think you'll be able to find all of the legendary blader and your friends?"

After a moment of silence Ginga answered. "No." He sighed. "In fact, I know it will be awhile until I see some of them again. King and Chris, they're in America as far as I know. King made Chris go along with him to see Toby, Zeo and Masamune. I have no idea how I would get to him. Dynamis and Aguma are locked away, how can I get to them? I'll be captured and then who will-" Ginga took a deep breath. "My point is that even though I may not be able to get them all back, I have to at least try." Takumi didn't say anything as he traced his finger over the book's cover.

It was a few minutes later when Takumi spike again. "So, have you put any thought into what Ryuga said?" Ginga nodded with a thoughtful expression.

"I can't stay here." A small huff came from Ryuga, who was now sitting up with a sleepy expression. Ginga seemed to sense his annoyance. Ever since Ginga refused Ryuga's plan earlier he had been in bad mood. Ryuga had suggested that Ginga stay in Metal City Instead of going out to find his friends. Ryuga's reasoning has been simple; let the bladers come to him. Basically Ryuga suspected that if Ginga were to stay and try to get his message out to the world (or what was left of It.) the legendary bladers and his other friends would return. Though his plan did have flaws, Takumi even thought could work, to Ginga's disappointment.

Ginga had his mind set on finding Kenta and Madoka and whoever else he found leads to. He didn't want to wait around in the rundown WBBA headquarters while Ryuga did all he could to fix communications. The fact that Ryuga hadn't shown much sympathy for Ginga's emotions made Ginga even angrier, sadder also. Just a few hours ago Ginga's relief of news in his father was crushed by the knowledge of not knowing what his father could be facing while locked away. And in top of that he also worried for Dynamis and Aguma.

"Listen Ginga if you-" Ryuga was interrupted when Takumi got up to silence him.

"Let's just go look around or something, Ginga needs time to think for himself…" Takumi spared one more glance at the redhead, who sat with his head down now, deep in thought. Ryuga wanted to protest while being guided out of the building, but Takumi muttered "he's upset, be kind for once" and disappeared outside with the L-Drago blader.

Nile had been talking with Kenta and Madoka when it happened. The three of them had been talking about their plan to leave. They had to wait another day before they could actually leave. It was nearing nightfall and the boys were getting ready to leave when the door was thrown open and a man stormed in. "Kenta Yumiya you are to come with us now!" Nile jumped up.

"What do you want with Kenta?" Kenta got up to stand next to him.

"It's none of your concern, now come on." The guy turned, motioning for Kenta to come. Nile followed them leaving Madoka to call after him. Madoka got up to look out the window; Nile and Kenta were led into a truck and were soon gone, driven out of the camp. Madoka stepped away from the window. What now? She questioned what should I do? What if they don't come back? Madoka sighed, telling herself not to worry. After all what could possibly happen? Madoka went back to her bed, pulling on of her bags from under her bead and taking out some of her tools. When she left she had taken some of her basic bey fixing tools. She hadn't done much repairing though. But Nile's bey needed some attention; it looked worn down and scratched up. When Nile got it back (she had no idea he managed to) it had been in worse condition than when it was taken. She took it upon herself to fix it up a bit, since she knew they would encounter some kind of danger while out there. She thought back to Kenta and how he had lost Sagittario the day the left together. He had been so upset…she sighed wondering if he would ever get his bey back.

An hour or so passed before anything more happened. As she finished up on Horuseus she heard a crash from outside followed by some screams. She brushed it off as one of the small structures falling again, it happened a lot actually. She began to put her tools away along with Horuseus; she stood up and noticed an orangey glow reflecting on the windows. Her blue eyes widened in shock, outside orangey red flames burned, setting building ablaze with flames. With a small yelp she grabbed the bag that held her tools and other important things and turned to run out the door.

The doors handle had been hot, burning her hand as she pushed it open. She cried holding her hurting hand to her chest and she dashed towards the exit. Only a few other people remained, most everyone had left by now. Fortunately for Madoka the fire seemed to have started on the other side of the camp, allowing her more time to get away. Though she wasn't able to head straight out, flames blocked her path and she had to turn to find another way out. She ran alongside the fencing, he legs beginning to grow tired and the scent or soot in the air made her feel sick and the smoke from the flames made it harder to breath and caused her throat to burn. She hoped to see a tear or hole in the fence that would aid her escape, she hoped the way up ahead wasn't blocked off either.

"Over here!" A voice called to her, she turned unable to make out the guys face in the dark, but listened to him and ran up to him. He was on the other side of the fence; he was kneeling down and holding the bottom of the gate up. The opening he had created was small, but if Madoka tried she was sure she could get through. And she did with some effort and help from the stranger when he grabbed her forearm and pulled her as she crawled.

"Thank you…" She panted, trying to catch her breath. She tried to make out his features but couldn't, her eyes burned and watered from the smoke in the air, she felt light headed. The boy didn't say anything as she fell forward, unconscious.

Nile now sat in the back of the truck, two female guards in front of him and Kenta up front with the third one. The silver moon shone down onto them and the wind caused Nile to shiver. Nile watched them carefully; there was something wrong with this whole thing. Taking Kenta and driving them out and far from the camp just wasn't right. "What did you need Kenta for?" He spoke calmly. The golden eyed girl in front of him looked up, her dark green bangs framing her eyes.

"It's nothing really." She didn't carry a weapon, but did have a beyblade and equipment on her belt. "Our boss just wanted to see him." Boss? Nile questioned. This woman was lying, he could feel it. The woman looked back down at the papering she held, he had no idea how she could read with all the wind. Nile felt a tap on his shoulder, the younger looking girl had moved next to him. Nile's gaze followed to where she was pointing. Behind him and towards the ground racing below them she motioned for him to take a look, he did, to his dismay. Nile felt a boot on his back, pushing him out of the vehicle and causing him to tumble to the side of the dirt road. He groaned in pain, his head was beginning to hurt and he couldn't find the energy to sit up and see what was happening now. The car had stopped and now he head Kenta shouting and what sounded like a fight. Nile moaned in pain again, but tried to ignore it and instead looked up at the sky.

Ninel hadn't thought that she'd end up here; pushing a boy out of a moving truck, wearing a guards uniform, and rolling around with some nemesis freak. The other guard had been easy to take out, with help from Kenta. Though she had been shot at, the bullet barley grazed her arm. This girl was strong; Ninel had to give her that. But she didn't have time for this. She had a ride to catch. A helicopter was waiting for her, this was her last chance to get to China and the things she went through to get this chance wasn't going to be for nothing.

It wasn't long until the Eurasian girl was back on her feet again and looking at Kenta, who stood gawking at her in shook. "Ninel?" He questioned. Her goldenrod eyes looked down at him with a friendly glint.

"I didn't think that you'd remember me." She smiled. She had given Ryuga and Kenta shelter one night when she found them wondering near the village she had been staying in at the time. That had been before the Nemesis battle and Kenta had told her of his efforts to get Ryuga to join the other legendary bladers.

Kenta didn't smile back, instead his eyes drifted from her, to Nile, then back at her. "You just…you just pushed Nile out of a moving truck!" He exclaimed, dashing over to Niles side.

"Oh my, your right!" She exclaimed, following Kenta to kneel by Nile.

"Why!?"

"It was part of my plan…the plan didn't go as planned…" She poked at Nile in worry, already checking his pulse just to be sure.

Nile groaned opening his eyes back up. "I'm fine, just everything hurts, but I'll be fine…" Nile sat up slowly.

"I'm so sorry!" Ninel placed a hand on his shoulder, "You're sure you're really okay?" Nile nodded slowly.

Kyoya sat with his head upturned to gaze at the stars. Benkei was off doing whatever he did with his time, leaving Kyoya at the tracks. After Benkei found Kyoya that morning he immediately brought him back to his camp and gave him everything he needed. Benkei's camp consisted of some blankets and spare food and water stored inside an abandoned train car on the tracks. The car sat alone on the tracks, left behind and forgotten. After Benkei wondered off Kyoya climbed up to sit on top of it to look at the darkening sky. At that moment the Leone blader felt relaxed and almost at peace, at least before Benkei's loud voice called for his pal. "Kyoya pal, I've got you some more water!" He called out him.

Kyoya felt a sick feeling wash over him. Earlier he had drunk so much water that he had gotten sick not long after. "I'm fine." He hopped down and offered to take some of the items from Benkei. Both dropped the supplies near Benkei's pack and moved to sit near the camp fire.

"How your arm?" Benkei questioned, his eyes drifting to the bandages he had wrapped Kyoya shoulder with earlier.

"I'll be fine as long as I don't get an infection." Kyoya spoke up. Kyoya could feel Benkei's eyes on him as he gave a big smile. Kyoya didn't bother with telling him to stop, Benkei was happy to have a friend back. He spoke up, "Nile will be meeting up with me in the city soon." Benkei nodded, already aware of Kyoya's plans.

"Kyoya look!" Benkei pointed to the sky, both could barely make out the smoke pooling into it. Kyoya's eyes widened slightly. He turned back to the fire.

"Nile will be here soon." He repeated, "Hopefully."
