[Prologue]
"The constellations that decorate the sky."
"There are as many beys as the constellations in the sky."
"Each battle brings its own drama."
Two mythical creature cried.
A Pegasis flaring its wings and a Phoenix flaring its wings with scorching flames.
The Pegasis flew and a blue light shimmered.
"This is the story of passionate bladers, who bet everything on beyblade!"
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
Gingka launched his beyblade.
"Go shoot!"
...

Gingka and Ayako stared right before them a high cliff. A tall male's silhouette, grinning down at them.
[Ore to omae no tetsu kizuna de]
The twins swung their arms, as their companions, Pegasis and Phoenix flew past them.
The mysterious silhouette smirked and summoned out a dark, purple dragon with beaming red eyes at the two.

Chapter Four: Rush! Bull Power!
The ferri were boarding off the docks, honks were heard all over.
Many storages warehouses were all over, as well as a very familiar local fast food restaurant.
...
Slamming the door opened from the fast food restaurant, Ayako and Gingka eagerly stomped out with a happy meal bag in their hands.
"We got it!" Ayako chirped.
"The triple beef burger!" Gingka giggled, as he and his sister showed off their bags to prove they weren't lying.
"Only, here us out," Ayako paused, as a young boy who had ice cream, stared confusedly at the twins. "For a limited time!"
Gingka nodded. "And, that's not the best part!" he and his sister held up high their orders. "They're the last ones of the 20-per-day sale!"
"Lucky~!" chanted Ayako and Gingka, and started to happily skip away from the confused boy.
"Oh! We should definitely show it to Kenta and Madoka, as well~!" Ayako jittered, imaginary sparkles surrounding her profile and beamed.
"Great idea!" Gingka eagerly agreed, and hopped around. "But I won't share my portion with them, though."
"Gosh, you might be the evil twin after all." Ayako said, giggling.
"Meh," Gingka shrugged, and grinned. "It is what is is."
"Oh boy! I can't wait to eat my triple beef burger~!" Ayako sang, skipping along the pavement.
The kid only stared, and sweatdropped at the twin's childish acts.
...
On the outskirts of the city, the Face Hunter's storage warehouse was vacant.
Almost.
The outside of the warehouse was decorated with gang-marks and spray paintings all over.
Inside, Benkei was all alone, training by himself.
Having a determined yet fierce glint in his eyes, Benkei snarled and launched his bey.
All Benkei could think of, was when Gingka battled Kyouya and used his ultimate attack, Pegasis's Shooting Star Attack.
Kyouya only watched as his bey landed behind him, and fell to his knees in defeat. "Impossible..."
Benkei clenched his teeth, tightening his fists and growling. "Hagane Gingka!"
Once his bey lost its spin, Benkei went to retrieve until he looked up.
His mind started to play tricks on him as he gazed into a wall, seeing Gingka standing there tall.
Furious and annoyed at the sight, Benkei screamed and launched his bey, as the image of Gingka disappeared and his bey smashing poorly to the wall and falling down, immobilized.
Footsteps clattering from behind, Benkei slowly turned and his eyes dilated. "Y—you're...!"
Standing before Benkei, was the same, well-dressed man that had taken Kyouya.
Nearing the man, Benkei glared. "Give Kyouya back!"
"I'm going to keep him to his promise... since he lost." the man responded, his eyes having a glint.
"If it's me, I can pull out his power to its maximum potential." as the man spoke, Kyouya was working out at a classified facility.
"And, I'll have him defeat Hagane Gingka." the man said.
Benkei scoffed, yet gasped. "Huh?"
"If you want me to give back Tategami sooner, then..." pausing his words, the man took out an item from his pocket. "... you'll have to defeat Hagane Ayako." he possessed a new bey in palm.
Eyes dilating, Benkei gawked. "T—this is Dark Bull!"
"That's right. The raging, violent bull, Dark Bull. A beyblade that specializes in upper attack."
"This— for me?"
The man chuckled.
Showing self restraint, Benkei was hesitant on taking the offering that was being given to him by the same man that had taken away Kyouya.
Finally, making up his mind, Benkei grasped Dark Bull.
The man chuckled, and grinned so sinnisterly. "You are ordered to defeat Hagane Ayako, and if do so, I might consider giving Kyouya back."
Benkei lifted his gaze from his bey and frowned at the man. "Hagane... Ayako?"
"Yes. She a blader who might be more irritating and more troublesome than Hagane Gingka."
"She's a blader too?" asked Benkei.
"Precisely." the man adjusted his glasses, smirking. "With your Dark Bull, you might even overcome her balanced type bey. Who knows, if you managed to defeat her, you might be even stronger than Kyouya."
"You— what?"
"It seems to me she has become much more powerful and more capable than Hagane Gingka. Bringing her down, by doing so, you'll have eliminated those who dare threatened you and Kyouya's goal, as well as my own personal gains."
Lips parting into a gasp, Benkei frowned and stared down at his Dark Bull.
Shivering, Benkei's lips formed into a smirk, and felt power dwelling up within him. "Then with this... they will be... I will defeat them with this!"
Imaginary fire sparked behind Benkei, as he raised his arm and the symbol of Dark Bull showed from behind.
'Kyouya...'
...
A memory was later broadcasted.
One that happened not so long ago, before the leader of the Face Hunters was found.
A train honked so loud above a bridge.
"You bastard, say that one more time!" Benkei yelled, grabbing onto Kyouya's collar.
"I'll repeat it as many times as you want. I don't battle with players that are weaker than me." Kyouya said, showing no hesitation.
"Don't get cocky! There's no way you can beat Benkei!"
"The truth is you are extremely weak, isn't it?"
Kyouya only smirked at Benkei, along with the two face hunter's backing him up.
Afterwards, Kyouya and Benkei stood on opposite sides with their launchers readied.
"You should be grateful for my sudden whims." Kyouya said.
Benkei growled. "Don't mess with me!"
"Go Shoot!"
The two launched their bey's, commencing a battle.
Immediately, both bey's collided in mid-air, before rebounding back.
"That's good, Benkei!" rooted the two face hunters.
Benkei couldn't help but to laugh. "He's just talking big!" he said as his bey tackled around Leone.
Kyouya had to comment. "You have power, that's all."
"What?" frowned Benkei.
"Go, Leone!" Kyouya called out, raising his arm.
At Kyouya's call, wind started to cast around Leone, a vortex forming like a typhoon, and with just one attack, costed Benkei's battle.
Thus, making Benkei the winner.
"My bey—" Benkei gulped, looking over his shoulder at his immobilized bey. "— was reflected..."
Having a smug scowl, Kyouya smirked at Benkei's facade. He flashed his Leone, a sparkle shimmering at the fusion wheel.
"See you then." Kyouya said, before he turned and started to walk away.
"Wait!"
Stopping in his tracks, Kyouya looked over his shoulder, quirking a brow.
"One more time!" demanded Benkei.
Kyouya didn't responded, only looked away and frowned.
But sooner or later, Benkei had readied his launcher, and Kyouya given another chance.
Only this time, Kyouya didn't need no special skills to defeat Benkei, with only one attack, the battle was decided.
Benkei's bey was sent flying back, slashing against the fabric of Benkei's sweatshirt.
"Not yet!" Benkei said, clutching to his ripped sleeve.
Kyouya had given another chance at Benkei for his own amusement.
Another battle was underway and same like before, Leone slaughtered Benkei's bey.
Again, and again, each time the attack was deflected and bounced back towards Benkei, landing a mark and slashing across his fabric.
Soon, Benkei collapsed on his back, his bey falling by his side.
Kyouya just watched, lowering his arm, until he rose a brow at Benkei. "Huh?"
Benkei started to sit up, gritting his teeth and shaking. "N—not yet!"
Impressed, Kyouya grinned in delight, raising his brows. "No matter how many times I defeat you, you still stand up." he readied his launcher. "Just like a fighting bull!"
Readying his launcher, Benkei took that as a remark. "Y—you're calling me a cow?! Heh! How rude!"
Gripping to the holder of his launcher, Benkei let out a roar, as another battle started.
Afternoon turning to evening, another express train rode above the bridge, honking.
On the ground, laying flat, Benkei was panting from exhaustion.
"Benkei..." spoke the two face hunters, concern for the big guy.
Slowly sitting up, Benkei flinched and grasp to the radius of his aching arm. "Damn it..."
"You have a nice set of eyes." Kyouya praised, inspire of Benkei's will.
Panting, finally standing up and wincing, Benkei scoffed. "S—shut up, one more... time..." before he could even readied his launcher, he collapsed to his knees, his face falling flat onto the dirt.
"Benkei!" a grunt neared him.
"Get a hold of yourself." advised another grunt.
Chuckling, soon turned to laughter, Benkei had startled not only the two face hunters, but Kyouya as well.
"To be able to stop my bey..." Benkei lifted his head up, his cheeks flushed in admiration and had a smug grin. "You're the first one to achieve that. It's my complete defeat." he admitted.
However, Benkei was feeling a thrill stir inside him, and beamed up at the face hunters and at Kyouya. "Yet, what is this giddy feeling?!" and threw his head back and laughed.
Blinking, a sharp stare, Kyouya rose a brow. "What a strange one." he murmured.
Sighing after laughing, Benkei made up his mind. "I'm hooked... I'll follow you. Even if you don't want it, I'm sticking with you."
Turning his heel and starting to walk away, Kyouya had a smirk on him. "Do as you wish."
Benkei stood up, and tailed Kyouya and grinned. "Ah, I will do that."
From then on, Benkei had fallen in love with Kyouya's overwhelmingly power, and thus, followed him around and do as Kyouya wishes.
...
Benkei stared ahead of him, a glint in his eyes.
'Just wait, Kyouya.' Benkei promised, he will win against the twins, and get him back.
"Let's go, Dark Bull!" shouted Benkei, as the spirit of the bull hovered above.
Benkei screamed and launched his bey, until the results wasn't what he concluded to be.
"I got rejected by the bey..." Benkei gaped, until a thrill shivered through him, and grinned. "Interesting, will I be the one to ride you, or will you be the one to toss me off?"
"LET'S FIGHT!"
...
"Go Shoot!"
At Bey-Park, Kenta was battling against his friends in a small friendly battle.
Madoka, for the time being, was watching along at the progression of the battle.
Kenta hinted that his Sagittario is a stamina type, while Akira's (his friend) bey is an attack type.
"Go! Keep assaulting!" shouted Akira.
"I see." Madoka finally got the hint of Kenta's strategy.
"All right, now!" Kenta called out, and with one attack, sent Akira's bey flying out of the stadium.
"I did it!" grinned Kenta, raising his arm.
"Kenta, good job in discovering the Bey's speciality." complimented Madoka, smiling.
Kenta was flattered, and chortled with a grin.
"Bey's speciality?" asked Akira.
Madoka nodded. "It's important to understand your own bey. If you do so, you might even beat Ayako and Gingka."
"Right, they battled against each other before and they're both equally strong! I would I like to have a good battle with them like that soon!" beamed Kenta, his eyes gleaming in joy.
"Eh?! Really?!" gasped many children who have gathered around in awe.
"Mhm! You should've seen Gingka's Pegasis and Ayako's Phoenix! The way air and fire fought..." Kenta sighed, giggling like a fanboy, "So cool~!"
Doors sliding opened, Ayako and Gingka barged inside Bey-Park.
"Listen to this, everyone!" announced Gingka.
The twins eagerly skipped forward and both held their meal bags they got back at the restaurant.
"Ta-da~! Triple Beef Burger~!" sang Ayako, her and her brother showing off their bags with wide grins.
However, no one bothered to bat an eye at the twins, as they were more drawn into Kenta's story about the battle between Ayako and Gingka.
Hence, ignoring the twin's announcement on their gain.
"Amazing!"
"Is that true?"
Spirit slowly dying down, Ayako and Gingka lump their heads down, gloomy lines portraying their profile. "Everyone..."
"Beys have four types?" asked a blader.
Madoka nodded, clasping her hands together. "That's right. Beyblade—"
"Attack, defense, balance and stamina type." listed Kenta all types.
"Yup." Madoka nodded, as she took out her laptop from her back pouch, prompting opened and beginning a file with all types statuses. "Attack type is a bey that has high offensive power. That's Gingka's Pegasis."
Meanwhile, Gingka had turned and started to search around in his portion of his bag until he came to a shock. "Why is it a hot dog?!" he frowned.
Ayako blinked, eyeing away from the crowd and started to laugh, pointing at her brother.
Gingka groaned, pouting and stomping the ground. "Don't laugh!"
"Defense type is able to withstand an opponent's attack." Madoka explained the second type, showing data of defense's bey's.
Opening up another file, Madoka showed the third type. "And Balance type has offense and defense in balance. Just like Ayako's Phoenix."
It was Ayako's turn to look through her bag, a wide grin on her until she pulled out... not the triple beef burger. "A hot dog?!"
Now, it was Gingka's turn to laugh and point at his sister.
"Stop!" Ayako barked, anime-like tears streaming down her face. She stared down at her hot down and jabbed it into her mouth.
Still not satisfied, Ayako's figure was engulfed with imaginary flames of fury, and stomped the ground. "Damn, the store got it wrong! I WANT MY TRIPLE BEEF BURGER!"
Startled, Gingka gulped and tried to fan away the fire from Ayako.
"Lastly is the stamina type." Madoka spoke, displaying the data of the type. "It's useful for long battles and is high endurance level bey."
"That's my Sagittario!" Kenta said, holding his bey.
"That's right." Madoka said.
One that oddly resembled to Takao from Bakuten Shoot, stared at his bey. "Mine's an attack type."
How ironic.
"So mine is a defense..."
"Mine's balance."
After her tantrum, Ayako only swallowed and chewed her hot dog completely, licking the sauce from her upper lip and smiled at the crowd.
Gingka sighed in relief, and ate his hot dog in one bite, burping afterwards.
"That's it... mine's an attack type." Akira said, looking down at his bey. "I have attack power, but no stamina. So while avoiding my attacks, Kenta waited for my stamina to run out."
Chuckling, Kenta grinned. "That's how it was."
"I see." Ayako's face popped up, startling everyone.
"Ayako! Gingka!" Kenta smiled.
"It's true that knowing a bey's type is important, but..." pausing, Gingka patted his heart, grinning. "In the end, it's here, isn't it?"
Kenta and Madoka grinned, agreeing with Gingka.
Nodding at her brother, Ayako pumped a fist, grinning. "A heart that loves beyblade makes a blader stronger."
Not only where everyone swooned by the twin's words, but the boys even blushed at the sight of Ayako, and screamed. "SO CUTE!"
Everyone gathered around Ayako, imaginary hearts all over and fanboying.
Flattered by the attention, Ayako grinned, flashing her pearly whites and had her hands on her hips.
Sweatdropping, Gingka sighed but smiled. "She's already more popular than me..."
...
Back at the Face Hunter's storage warehouse,
Out of nowhere, Benkei's attire had changed. The back of his jacket had the symbol of bull, along with his hat and even a launcher with a bull's eye.
Benkei was in the middle of training with the help of the face hunters. He launched his bey, and riled up power and started to smack away all the bey's that opposed it.
Each attack, Benkei would count;
"One,"
"Two,"
"Three,"
"Four,"
"Five,"
"Six,"
"Seven,"
"Eight,"
"Nine—"
"— Ten!"
Benkei's bey had accordingly defeated all bey's with one hit, and smirked. "All right! I'm on it!"
At long last, Benkei was able to tame the bull and ride on it without being thrown off.
"Benkei..." panted a grunt.
The Face Hunters had collapsed from exhaustion, tired from all the training Benkei was putting them up.
"Not yet!" Benkei yelled, not satisfied still. "It's not enough, it's not enough! I haven't exploded enough. My hidden blades won't stop!"
Dark Bull's spin track expanded, gaining more acceleration at its spin.
"Disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear!" Benkei continued to chant, as his mind played tricks and saw Gingka standing before him. "Bull Upper!"
Using his new Ultimate Attack, Benkei's bey crushed into the concrete of the wall, forming a hole that was shaped like a bull.
...
Down at a local park, Madoka was seated down on a bench with her laptop out.
Ayako was laying down on the bench, having a knee up and the other one dangling with her arms behind her head.
Snoozing, Ayako dreamt about yummy gum drops and a land filled with delicious meat. Such as triple beef burger.
Then, Ayako stirred in her sleep, breathing in from her mouth and out from her nostrils. She looked peaceful as a sheep.
Meanwhile, Kenta and his friends were not so far away from the two girls, discussing about Ayako, Gingka and beyblade.
"I want to become an awesome blader like Gingka one day."
"For that to happen, you need practice."
Akira smiled, and pressed his hand to his chest. "A heart that loves beyblade makes a blader stronger."
"You're just imitating Ayako."
"Not alike at all. She's way cuter~!"
Akira laughed, and soon, everyone joined in on the laugh.
Kenta stared at his bey, and smiled. 'I, too... towards Sagittario...'
"BRRRRRRR!"
"Huh?" blinking, Kenta wondered if he heard someone and looked up.
Stomping onto the ground, Benkei showed up, along with several Face Hunters behind him.
"Face Hunters?!"
"Benkei!"
"W—what do you need from us?" stuttered out Kenta, cautiously approaching the Face Hunters.
Walking forward, Benkei blinked, and smirked in amusement. "You're shivering."
"T—that's not—!"
"BRRRRRAAAAAHHHHRRR!" roared Benkei before he allowed Kenta to finish, startling the boy to his bottom in fear. "I don't need anything from you guys."
Hearing the commotion, Madoka glanced up from her laptop, and gasped silently. She looked down to her right, and quietly urged Ayako to wake up.
Stirring in her slumber, Ayako mewled and slowly fluttered her eyes opened, and rubbed her eye. "Wh—what..."
"Look." whispered Madoka, pointing over towards the Face Hunters.
"Huh?" blinking, Ayako followed Madoka's line of vision and turned her head, still laying down. Her eyes dilated slightly at the sight of the Face Hunters.
"Tell this to Hagane Gingka: Battle with me."
"That won't be necessary."
"Huh?" glancing up, Benkei scrunched his nose and his eyes widened. "You're—!"
"Ayako!" Kenta gasped in surprise.
Sitting up finally, Ayako sighed and stood up, nearing Kenta's side. "You want to battle my brother, is that right?"
"What's it to you, missy?" laughed a grunt, crossing his arms.
"I can tell Gingka personally that you want to battle against him. I'm sure he'll show up. Then again..." Ayako smirked. "He isn't the one to run away from a fight."
Glaring at first, Benkei smirked and laughed. "Good! I'll wait for him at the warehouse down by the docks!"
Turning his heal, before Benkei and the face hunters left, he looked over his shoulder. "Oh, and make sure he's prepared to be crushed in defeat."
Crossing her arms, blinking, Ayako smirked tauntingly, and nodded. "Okay.~ I'll tell him that too."
And with that, Benkei and the rest of the face hunters left.
"Ayako!" Madoka ran over to her, "What happened?"
"Are you really going to tell Gingka?" asked Kenta, concern.
Closing her eyes, humming, Ayako pursed her lips. "Hmm..." opening her eyes, her amber orbs glistened. "Come on." she started to walk forward, leaving the two clueless.
"Ayako! I don't think this is a good idea..." Kenta said, growing more worried.
"It's better not to have anything else to do with those guys." Madoka advised.
"Yeah!" agreed Kenta.
Ayako sighed. "But those guys... they keep pestering my brother and I'm tired of if. Even if we ignore them, who knows what will happen."
Madoka still had a bad feeling about this. "That's true, but..."
"Next time it might be Madoka's the one whose the target." Ayako said, sounding serious yet teasingly.
Gasping, Madoka clasped her cheeks and screeched, not liking the sound of that.
Glancing over her shoulder, Ayako giggled and grinned cheekily. "Gotcha. I was just kidding.~"
Sighing in relief, Madoka hung her arms. "Don't do that..."
Staring away from the two girls, Kenta looked all over until he spotted something very odd and pointed, "Look at that!"
The two girls followed his line of visions, spotting a weird-shaped hole on a crate.
Then, fruit started to rain down from the crate, and Madoka yelped.
"It's bananas!" gasped Ayako.
Kenta sighed, and shook his head at Ayako. "No... not the bananas."
Chuckling, Ayako got into a serious demeanor. "I know." she said, glancing up at the hole on the crate.
"What's with that hole?" questioned Madoka, growing very weary.
Finding the hole very suspicious, Ayako had her guard up, her eyes glistening.
All over the place, had holes scattered everywhere. Onto the walls, barrels, crates and even the pavement.
"Again..." Kenta said, scanning all over the area.
"What's with those holes..." Madoka was growing scared and stayed close to Ayako.
Behind a wall, where a bull-shaped hole was formed, Benkei was inside the warehouse. "I will defeat you and take back Kyouya..." he continued to remind himself. "Come, Hagane Gingka!"
Still persistent, Ayako stopped in her tracks, perking her head and furrowed her brows. "Hm?"
"What's wrong?" asked Madoka.
Kenta stared up and blinked. "Ayako?"
Ears seeking, Ayako hummed. "I can hear it." her eyes glistened, having no doubt. "The spinning of a bey."
Instantly, a loud crash was heard, and a bey spun in front of the trio.
"W—what?" gasped Madoka, hiding behind Ayako.
Ayako narrowed her eyes, a small, visible sweat on her temple and averted her gaze from where the bey emerged from, and there, the hole shaped to a bull was formed. "That hole... as I thought, it's the doing of a bey."
Swallowing, batting her long lashes, Ayako furrowed her brows. "But—... that's some power..."
The bey started to hop around in front of Ayako, slowly luring her into the warehouse.
"Ayako!" screeched Madoka, reaching her hand out but to no avail.
"Wait up!" Kenta said, following the red-haired lass.
"Ayako!"
Jogging, tailing behind the bey, Ayako stopped, and peaked her head to gaze inside the warehouse.
Mewling silently, Ayako gripped to the large door, creaking it opened and walked inside, cautious of her surroundings.
"Wait up, Ayako!" Kenta yelled, Madoka and him finally caught up to her.
"What?" Madoka gasped, as Kenta blinked.
In an instant, illuminated slashes swarmed about in front of the trip, in the dark, as Madoka and Kenta yelped and hid behind Ayako.
Stepping out of the shadows, Benkei caught his bey in his hand.
Eyes dilating, Ayako leaned forward, lips parting into a gasp. "Benkei!"
Shadow being lifted from his profile, Benkei smirked. "I've been waiting for you, Gingka— Ayako?!"
Narrowing her eyes, Ayako still had her guard up, shielding the two behind her. "I'm flattered you know my name."
"Where's Gingka?!" Benkei asked, not sounding pleasant.
Ayako frowned. "Forget him! I'll be the one you're facing! Was the bull-shaped hole your doing?"
Benkei chuckled, and walked forward, standing a few feet in front of Ayako. "That's right. It's the result of my special training to defeat Gingka... well, sorta. But you're beneficial." he smirked.
Ayako had a sharp gaze, preparing for what's about to come.
"No matter what happens, I will defeat you both! Starting with you, Hagane Ayako!" vowed Benkei, as imaginary fire burned in the background.
Madoka and Kenta squirmed back, holding onto Ayako, startled.
"A—Ayako!" gasped Kenta, swallowing and holding her arm.
Having a frown at first, Ayako grinned, a delightful glint in her eyes. "You're amazing! I'm all excited now~!" she giggled, pumping two fists.
Madoka and Kenta stared up at Ayako, surprised by her change of attitude.
Dropping his jaw, Benkei widened his eyes. "H—huh?!" shaking his head, he glared at the lass. "F—fight me!"
Returning a sharp look, Ayako narrowed her eyes. "Okay.~ I'll accept!"
That being said, Ayako flared back her long, red flowing scarf, she snatched her main part of her launcher from her pouch, attaching the analysis device, lastly, attaching the string holster and securing it.
In addition, Ayako snatched for her main key, her beyblade and readied herself, as an aura of a red violet-colored flame surrounded her persona.
Benkei did the same, as he secured his bey onto his launcher, readying himself for battle.
All while that was happening, Madoka and Kenta had hid themselves by some crates to stay away from harms way and not interfere with the battle.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Go Shoot!"
Ayako and Benkei laughed their bey's onto the ground, and since there were no stadium, the battle will be decided on who the last beyblade stands.
"Go, Phoenix!" shouted Ayako.
"Crush her, Dark Bull!"
Meanwhile, Madoka prompted her laptop opened, an Kenta noticed and took a peek.
Typing in the codes and recording the battle, Madoka adapt onto Benkei's bey and analyzed it.
"It's the first time I've seen such a bey." Kenta said.
"Dark Bull..." Madoka narrowed her eyes, taking a peek on the fusion wheel and all of it's parts. "Seems like a balance-type bey."
"If that's so, then in terms of attack, stamina and defense, it's as equal as Ayako's bey." Kenta pointed out, he shifted his gaze towards the battle and gasped.
Dark Bull was pushing Phoenix around like it was nothing.
"No way!" gawked Kenta.
Ayako had her lips parted, furrowing her brows in awe.
"Ayako's Phoenix is being pushed back!" Madoka said.
Looking back at the screen, Madoka compared the launching sequence of both bladers and came to a shocking conclusion. "That's it! Against another balance-type like Dark Bull, Ayako's power is being decreased and the attack power is dropping!"
Mewling, Ayako was shielding herself from the strong collision each attack made, sending gusts her way.
"But—... but!" Kenta clutched on to the crate, remembering Ayako's words.
Ayako pumped a fist, grinning. "A heart that loves beyblade makes a blader stronger."
Smiling at her words, Kenta was for sure Ayako would not fail. "Ayako... won't lose!"
Exhaling, Ayako grinned with excitement in her eyes. "All right! Phoenix!" flaring her red-flowing scarf, she raised her arm, the symbol of Phoenix illuminating behind.
Enduring the attacks for long enough, a sparkle shimmered on the fusion wheel, Phoenix suddenly started to push Dark Bull back.
Taken back, Benkei blinked until he smirked. "You're good."
"Same could be said for you." Ayako praised, grinning.
Both bey's escalated onto the wall before they rebounded from each other and battled onto the wooden tile on the ceiling.
"That's the way, Phoenix!"
Gritting his teeth, Benkei frowned. 'Don't be hasty. A chance will definitely come.'
Bouncing back onto the ground, Phoenix hopped and prepared to attack Dark Bull.
This was the opportunity Benkei was waiting for. "Right now! Crush her! Bull Upper!"
At first, a small gust swirled around Dark Bull, and the spin track glowed.
Tilting slightly, Dark Bull lifted Phoenix right at collision, and used its horns to stab Phoenix, blazing feathers raining.
"What?!" Ayako's eyes widened, and swung her arm onward. "Phoenix, soar!"
Phoenix did a front flip, rebounding from Dark Bull's attack, as Dark Bull crashed onto the wall, smoke encasing all over.
Cringing, Ayako mewled with a small sweatdrop on her temple. "What power..." she murmured.
Benkei scoffed. "This time you won't get away!"
"W—what was that attack just now?" asked Kenta.
"It's the track-type attack." Madoka answered, displaying bey's parts separately. "Beyblade is composed of a Face, Wheel, Track, and Bottom. There's no end to the types of parts you can get. You know that, right?"
Kenta nodded. "Yeah."
"Look at this." Madoka brought up the status of Dark Bull's track.
"It's like a cow's horn!" Kenta said.
Phoenix was enduring all the reckless attacks, and Dark Bull's spirit almost became realistic and charged for the firebird.
"Exactly. Just like a cow— no..." Madoka shook her head. "A bull! If Ayako takes a direct attack, then..."
As Phoenix endured the tackle, it was sent back into a flip, Dark Bull's horn taking the advantage.
"T—that can't be!" Kenta gasped, eyes dilating.
Ayako waved her arm, motioning for her bey to dodge each attack and gaining more agility.
Benkei smirked. "As expected of Hagane Gingka's sister. You're holding quite well. Though, you won't let me beat you that easily."
Closing an eye, wincing, Ayako raised her arm. "Go, Phoenix!"
At the cry of Ayako, Phoenix escalated onto the wall, and bounced onto the ceiling's wooden log and soar up high, descending down.
Phoenix's spirit emerged, flaring its wings as the feathers were encased with flames.
"You're good, that's what makes you worthy enough to defeat. I won't let my special training go to waste!" Benkei roared, as his bey gained more acceleration on its spin, and charging more power.
"Soar, Phoenix!"
"Charge, Dark Bull!"
Phoenix and Dark Bull collided, quirking up a force as a small gale formed.
It was a meteor making a collision against earth.
Crates were being blown away like a typhoon.
Madoka held onto Kenta to keep him safe, until the two looked up and saw a crate falling down for them, and screamed.
"Huh?" Ayako averted her eyes at her two friends, and her eyes dilated. "Crap! Phoenix!"
Hearing her plea, Phoenix rebounded away from Dark Bull, and spun over to the two children, and former a steaming gale, burning the crate into dust.
Shielding her forehead with an arm, the weight on Ayako's shoulders was lifted, as relief washed over her. "That was dangerous..." she whispered.
Raising her head, Madoka was glad for the rescue.
"We were saved..." Kenta whispered.
Then, Madoka and Kenta gasped, their eyes filled with fright.
The ceiling started to tremble, until it caved it and piles of rocks and large pieces of wood started to fall down where Ayako stood.
"Watch out!" cried Madoka, running for Ayako.
"Ayako!" Kenta screeched.
"Hm?" Ayako looked calmly over to her two frightened friends, batting her eyes.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Benkei had pushed Ayako out of harms way before the lass was crushed by the collapsed ceiling.
Flinching, Ayako mewled, feeling a pang on her head, but shook it off and looked up to find a surprise, that Benkei had shielded her with his body.
"Benkei..." whispered Kenta.
"What's going on?" Madoka asked, stunned.
"Eh?" Benkei wondered that himself and gawked, staring down at Ayako, and quickly stood up and gritted his teeth.
"Benkei..." whispered Ayako, eyes widened in shock.
"I—..." Benkei found it hard to speak, and gulped.
Raising to her feet, Ayako's eyes had softened, feeling touched, her lips parted into awe. "Benkei... you—..."
"No... I—..." snapping back to reality, Benkei glared. "Heh, you're annoying! We're continuing, Ayako!"
Dark Bull appeared behind Benkei, and spun forward, as the spirit of the raging bull showed.
Getting back into focus, Ayako threw her small fist forward, and yelled, "Go, Phoenix!"
Emerging behind Ayako, Phoenix's spirit showed, it's wings spread and soaring so beautifully.
A beam of light formed at the center of the battlefield, until a wave of force followed, and the two spirits collided for its final course.
"Bull Upper!" shouted Benkei.
Using its horns, Dark Bull threw Phoenix high up into the air.
Breaking into a grin, Benkei formed a fist. "This is it! It's my victory!"
"Not yet!"
Benkei frowned, gritting his teeth.
Long red scarf flaring back of her, Ayako raised her arm, pointing up.
"Ultimate attack!"
High above the air, Phoenix was spinning and spinning more fast, forming a rounded vortex, almost significantly resembling to the blazing sun.
"Phoenix, Spiral Fire Arrow!"
Phoenix's spirit showed, and screeched.
The beautiful mythical firebird flared its wings and the bey was encased with fire, as a beam of light descended and spiral of flames surrounded it.
A fire arrow was then followed, and clashed right at the center of Dark Bull.
"What?!" Benkei gawked, a wide-eyed glare on him.
Phoenix's flaming beak had stabbed at the head of the bull, marking a bulls eye!
A crater was formed, and under the rumble, Dark Bull was motionless as the smoke had seized, and Benkei screamed
Phoenix bounced back and spun around at the tip of Ayako's fingertip, before snatching it to her hand and showed it off, grinning. "Gotcha! You know, funny thing about bull fighting, the bull always loses."
"Ayako!" called Madoka and Kenta, running up to her.
Looking over her shoulder, Ayako smiled. "Are you both okay?"
The two nodded.
"We're okay!" assured Madoka.
Sighing in relief, Ayako was glad her friends were safe and no one got hurt.
Smashing his fist down to the crushed pavement, Benkei had startled Madoka an Kenta, as Ayako stared, tilting her head.
However, Ayako wasn't taken back of the behavior Benkei portrayed but instead, she smiled. "Hey, that was extremely fun!"
This, Benkei was surprised and stared up at the lass, blinking. "Huh? Fun?"
Madoka and Kenta stared at Ayako and wondered if the lass got her head hit during that fall or any of that sort.
Nodding her head eagerly, Ayako shrugged. "Well yeah. Beyblading isn't about winning or losing. It's about having a sweet time!" she smiled. "Your Bull Upper is an awesome attack. At first, it was a bit dangerous, I can tell you that."
"Eh?" question marks popped from Madoka and Kenta.
Nearing Benkei, Ayako offered her hand out to him, flashing a cheeky grin, and giggled.
Completely swayed by Ayako's words, and her sportsmanship of the game, Benkei was hesitant of shaking hands with her until he restrained himself and scoffed.
Growling like a bull would, Benkei clutched to his wrist, and turned away, leaving.
Ayako had her lips shaped to a small 'o', leaving her hand hanging and tilted her head cutely, confused. "Huh?"
Even Madoka and Kenta exchanged look and were confused themselves.
A small wooden plank fell onto the crater, ending the scene.
...
Evening arriving, Ayako, Madoka and Kenta had met up with Gingka at the fast food restaurant the twins were at earlier.
"Yay! As I thought, they did got the wrong order." chirped Ayako, sitting by her brother and drooling over her burger. "Triple Beef Burger~!"
Gingka giggled, nodding at his sister. "It took me all day, but I had them make us a new one!"
Squealing, Ayako grinned at her brother.
"Thank you for the food!" said Ayako and Gingka, before chowing down their burgers.
Eyes glimmering and beaming at the savoring taste of the beef, the twins grinned.
"Delicious~!" sang Ayako.
"The meat is so juicy, the best!" Gingka pointed out, before taking another bite of his burger.
Finishing off her burger in just one more bite, Ayako chewed the substance and swallowed.
Sighing, Ayako couldn't help but to groan. "It was like I got dragged along by cows the whole day..."
Gingka blew air from his mouth, whistling. "After hearing you tell me that story, I can't say you aren't lying." he patted his sister's back. "I'm proud of you though. That was real brave of you to take him on." he grinned.
Pursing her lips, Ayako's cheeks were dusted in a pink blush, and grinned cheekily. "Awe, that's very sweet!"
Chuckling, before Gingka could take another bite of his burger, he noticed Madoka staring off into space. "Madoka, what's wrong?"
"Huh?" Madoka started at Gingka, and shook her head. "I was just thinking it was bit unexpected, that's all."
Chewing down his last bite off his burger, Gingka blinked. "Unexpected? what was?"
"Benkei! He was apart of the Face Hunters that would stop at nothing to achieve their goals." Madoka said, staring over to Ayako. "But to save Ayako like that..."
"That's true." Kenta said.
Ayako smiled warmly. "Oh that guy, he didn't wanted his hard work to be for nothing." she took out her bey, staring to it. "Wanting to defeat not only my brother, but me as well... that guy must have done quite a bit of training with his bey. That's why he wanted to win fair and square."
"What ever the case, I'm just glad you're alright, sis." Gingka said, patting his sister's shoulder, smiling.
"Yeah." Ayako nodded. "Though, that was a sweet battle. I do hope I can battle again with him, he sure is something.~"
Not too far away from where the group sat, Benkei was at a table's booth, chowing down many burgers.
"Next time I definitely won't lose." vowed Benkei, squishing the burger in his hands.
"Why did I save Ayako that time?!" Benkei asked himself out of frustration, munching down the burger and unwrapping another one.
"I don't get it—!" Benkei gagged, having bitten down not only the whole burger, but his knuckles as well.
"OWWWWW!"
Benkei cried out, his hands beating red and numb, streaming anime-tears down his cheeks.
