It has been literally forever since I updated this story and I am sorry about that, but, at last, here are the cutscenes for "Shifted." Enjoy!


"Yet, there is still one part I didn't tell them…" Madoka opened a drawer, her hands shaking. She pulled out a box and opened it, revealing nothing, then blinked and looked around.

"Cut! Gingka, where are you?!" Galaxy shouted as an explosion occurred outside. Madoka sweatdropped.


Madoka was picking up several boxes from the floor of the B-Pit when the front doorbell rang, indicating that someone had entered. Madoka sighed and stood.

"We're closed, didn't you- G-Gingka? I-is that… You?"

Gingka nodded quietly, a slight smile on his face. Madoka dropped the box she was holding and rushed to him.

"Why did you leave…?"she sobbed, hugging Gingka tightly.

"OTP FOR THE WIN!"

"GALAXY!"

"... Cut…"

Gingka and Madoka sweatdropped.


"Come in." Gingka called, sitting in a windowsill.

"Gingka? What are you doing?" Madoka asked.

"I was just watching the sunrise and the traffic below." Gingka replied, swinging his legs into the room and falling out the window.

"Gingka!" Madoka yelped, running over and poking her head out the window before sighing in relief as Gingka gave her a thumbs up from a giant cushion below.

"Cut!" Galaxy chuckled. "Good thing I planned on this potentially happening."


"Where are you going?" Gingka asked as Madoka walked past him.

"The stove won't light, I was going to get matches." Madoka replied.

"Okay." Gingka replied, looking in the fridge for bacon.

"Aww man! I'm out of matches!" Madoka called from just off-set.

"That's alright, I got it to light." Gingka called, pulling his head out of the fridge, his mouth full of bacon.

"Cut! Gingka, you can eat later!" Galaxy called.

"But-!"

"No buts! Start over!"


Gingka poked his head out from behind an abandoned-looking bulldozer. Zero was there, training with Ifrit.

"Go, Ifrit!" The younger blader ordered his bey to smash into a pile of debris, blowing it up.

"So far, so good." Galaxy muttered under her breath.

"Yeah, that's it! Faster Ifrit!"

Gingka stepped out of hiding and launched. "Pegasus!"

"CUT!" Galaxy animefall out of her chair and began banging her head on the nearest wall.

"... What'd I do wrong?!"

"He wasn't supposed to know it was you right away!" Galaxy exclaimed, sitting back in her chair and rubbing her reddened forehead.


"Where did he go?" Madoka asked, panting as she looked around a forest scene.

"I don't know, but let's go back. It's really dark in here." Benkei said in a nervous tone as he turned to go back the way that he and the others had come.

"But he has to be around here somewhere!" Madoka said, turning around and screaming.

"CUT! Madoka, you're supposed to keep examining the bushes until after Benkei's next line!"

"... Oh." Madoka said sheepishly.

"Roll-"

Galaxy was interrupted as Gingka, who had been temporarily turned into a dragon, fell out of a tree in a heap, landing atop Zero and his friends.

"... Well at least I didn't have the camera rolling yet." Galaxy facepalmed.


"What is it Madoka? I was sleeping."

"Benkei, there are claw marks on the tree outside the B-Pit."

"Claw marks?"

"Yes, long ones, like something climbed the tree."

"You think it was one of those… Those…" Benkei bit his lip and looked to Galaxy for help.

"Cut, darklings Benkei, darklings. And you both skipped a line. Roll camera!" Galaxy said without bothering to look up from her sketchbook.

"Riiiight."


A puff of black smoke marked the destruction of another Darkling as Gingka landed and was turned mostly back to human form.

"Now you know…" He said sadly, turning and looking at Madoka with his reptilian eyes. The brunette stood motionless, her eyes wide in fright.

"You can run back to Metal Bey City if you want to, I know that I'm a monster." Gingka turned away, staring at the ground. He winced, hearing Madoka's footsteps, before freezing and tensing as her arms wrapped around him from behind.

"No, no you're not, you're my frien-"

"OTP FOR THE WIN I'M SORRY BUT I REALLY CAN'T HOLD IT BACK NOW CUT."

Gingka and Madoka promptly animefell.


"Morning Gingka!" Madoka called, then yelped slightly as the small blue dragon slithered around her waist for a moment before landing on the ground and reverting to human form.

"Sleep well?"

"Yep." Gingka said.

Madoka facepalmed, right as Galaxy noticed Gingka's mistake.

"CUT!"

"... Right. Pun. Riiiight. I forgot." Gingka said quickly, ducking to dodge a glitter bomb that came flying at his face.


"As to armor…" Gingka pulled several sets of armor out of a sack and began handing them out. Zero quickly put his on and soon had it buckled. Gingka looked over and sat down.

"... What are you doing?" Zero asked.

"Avoiding the imminent glitter bomb that's about to be thrown at you." Gingka said.

"CUT!" Galaxy said, nailing Zero right in the forehead with a glitter explosion that knocked the young blader flat on his back.


"It's a crazy life, being a shapeshifter." Gingka said.

"That much I can tell." Madoka said. "But, you are amazing. You can do things that I can only dream of, things that I thought were myths."

"So did I, until I turned into a dragon." Gingka chuckled.

"I'll bet." Madoka laughed.

Gingka flashed a dragon-fanged smile at the brunette.

"You know, I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Madoka laughed.

A puff of smoke flew into the air from Gingka's mouth, causing him to cough slightly. "I scared myself half to death the first time I looked in the mirror. And now I feel like I'm smoking."

Galaxy animefell. "You basically are just… Not in that other way that that word typically refers to… CUT!"

"Didn't even give her a chance to shout about OTPs. Nice." Madoka laughed, high-fiving Gingka, who grinned.

Galaxy glared at the two as she climbed back into her seat. "Roll camera!"


"Madoka?!"

"Gingka! Where are we?! What's going on?!"

"Hang on, I'm coming!" Gingka, who was seated on the ground, scrambled to his feet and rushed forwards, yelping as the wall behind him was yanked forwards and fell on top of him.

"CUT! Why oh why can't I get people to make SOLID SCENERY?!" Galaxy groaned, getting up and moving to help the others get the faux stone off of Gingka.


"I found the scent of a few Darklings, about five, several human scents, Gingka's scent, another shifter in snake form's scent, and Konsui powder." Setsuna said.

"What's Konsui powder?" One of Gingka's allies said from a crowd of them that was standing behind Ryo.

"If a shifter breathes in enough it will knock them out cold. That suggests a kidnapping."

"So Gingka and his friends that were already here have been captured by the enemy?!" Ryo gasped.

"And I found this." Setsuna said worriedly, holding up a silver and blue object.

"That's... " Kenta paused. "Wasn't that bey evolved into Samurai Pegasus?"

"... CUT!"

"Not for this story, Kenta." Gingka called from the side, where he had an ice pack on his head and was recovering from the scenery falling atop him.


A blue-scaled dragon arched overhead, lightly allowing Madoka, Kyoya, Zero, and Zero's friends to drop to the ground. The dragon then dove into the ground, turning into Gingka in a flash of bright white light. Immediately, the redhead tried to perform a tuck-and-roll, only to faceplant into the ground with an 'oomf!'

"... Cut…" Galaxy groaned, facepalming.


"Seems like we've got some chattering in here." Hikaru said, coming downstairs with Madoka into a room full of fluttering, chattering shapeshifter birds.

"It's getting them to shut up that's the problem." Kyoya groaned.

Hikaru chuckled. All of the birds abruptly stopped chattering and stared.

"... What?" Hikaru asked.

"Finally!" Kyoya exclaimed, having swatted one bird into the wall.

"CUT! Kyoya, you're not supposed to actually hit one!" Galaxy exclaimed.


"Stand back!" Setsuna called as she hovered over an area around Wolf Canyon. "Don't come any closer or you'll get burnt!"

"So he did shift to a Phoenix?" Madoka called.

"Yes, and he's about to return at any moment now." Setsuna said.

"There!" Ryo pointed at the ground, then paused and blinked.

"Galaxy, isn't there supposed to be a flame?" Madoka called.

"... I forgot to cue it in….." Galaxy said slowly. Everyone animefell off the backs of the shapeshifters they were riding.


Phew! That one was fun. I'll have to get to several of my others later. I don't know when, but hopefully not more than a few weeks lol. Until next time, Galaxy out!
