Sorry this chapter's a little short, but I'm planning on updating my other story tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'll have time to update this Friday. I'll try to update again though on Saturday or Sunday. Anyways, this chapter has some poor attempts at humor, but I think I failed. And sorry if Zeo, Toby and Hikaru (and anyone else) are OOC, but I was tired when I wrote this.
Chained Princess- Don't worry, a review can never be too long. Happy Halloween to you too! It's past 12 where I am (and I have school, you guys are so lucky I like you guys!) so it is Halloween. Halloween is my favorite occasion too, it lets you break two rules. Don't talk to strangers and don't take stuff from strangers. And I do love a good scare.
Actually, I really don't have that much of a life. The only thing really going on in my life is Drama... literally. I'm in a Drama program after school until 5:30, so I don't get home until a little after that so that's why when I update it's so late (or early, depending on how you look at it). And thank you, I've read a lot of suspenseful books in my short lifetime to know how to build suspense (that and my best friend describes in great detail the latest Stephen King book she read).
Lol, Uncle. Call him whatever you want. He will be included more, I'm just not sure how. Flashbacks maybe? Who knows, maybe he will enter Wonderland. And yes, King of Heartbreaks. I SO want to tell you who it is, but nobody likes spoilers, and I'm sure not everyone has figured it out yet. But it will be a while until he's introduced, so sorry to keep you waiting. But let me tell you, the bad guy isn't who you think it is, in fact, I'm not even sure who it is yet. I've narrowed down my choices, but now I must choose which one it shall be.
I don't want Madoka to always be the damsel in distress, so in this fic she's going to kick butt once or twice (maybe even more, depending on what you guys think. See, that's why I'm not writing ahead. I would, but I want to include what you guys think, what you guys want to see.
And yes, it is done, you are now on my favorite author's list. Congratulations. You are the first. I think your stories are wonderful, but I have a lot of catching up to do. And don't worry, KyoMado's catching up. Personally, I want ZeoMado to win, since I haven't read one where they were paired up yet. But I'm hoping KyoMado for second. Actually, I don't care what it is, but it'd be cool to see something a little less common.
So far it's one for KyoKaru and one for RyuKaru. So keep voting people! Glad you liked the Tsubasa scene by the way. It was very fun to write. Nobody gives Eagle enough credit either, it's a very smart bird (forgive me, but is Eagle a he or a she, I couldn't find out). Yes, I hope Jack and Damian will make you laugh with their constant arguing in this chapter. This is how I thought they should have interacted in the anime, powerful apart, but together and... hahahahahaha! They make me laugh, they amuse me so! Ahem, enough of that odd talk, why do I even start talking like that?
I'll give you a hint, that is not why they're after Madoka. I haven't thought of it all the way through, but I'll tell you this. Remember what was on the card, it's very important later on.
Yeah, I was going to do that, but then I figured... wouldn't it be more entertaining if this happened instead? Please tell me what you thought of this chapter, personally I think it could have been a lot better. And I'm very glad you like cliffhangers. There is a few small ones in this chapter, but not nearly as big as last chapter.
Happy Halloween!
Angelfromheaven2012- Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Benkei's basically an open book, so it was very easy writing him. I hate math so much! I got my grade back, I got a D- on my test :( but I got an A+ on my Spanish test :) which I'm surprisingly getting a worse grade in than math.
Gasp! No Halloween celebration! I'm so sorry T_T Thank you though, and for caring about my Grandma!
StarlightAngel3748- Nope! It's not Ziggurate, but good guess though. And although the King of Heartbreaks is a bad dude, he's not the villain in this story, the villain is...
BlackNekoCat999- No Halloween, T_T I'm sorry! I love Halloween, so I cannot imagine life without it! Yay, I think you figured it out! Haha, well, no more cliffhangers. It will (for the most part) be answered here!
A.B.D.Y.Z.-Thank you, I couldn't decide which, so I just decided both. And thank you, I'm glad to know people care about my grandmother. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on adding OCs in this fic, but creating a new one for people to put OCs in, but I'm too busy right now, but I'm going to try it some other time. Haha, gotta love sweets.
And that's all there is! Anyways, I'm tired, so here's the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own MFB or Stephen King (who was mentioned earlier)
The beys all landed in a large crater in the ground, which was probably created in the earlier attack, as over half of the town was in ruins. As the beys landed, they circled around, awaiting for someone to call out an attack. It was Damian who was the first too speak.
"Since we're in a hurry, I'll finish this quickly. Kerbecs, Hades Drive!" He called out, and Kerbecs started moving towards the outer part of the circle, going so fast a red trail was following it like it was a comet, getting brighter by every passing second. Kyouya had remembered this move from their last encounter, so he shouted to Tsubasa.
"Stay away from the edge and watch out!" Tsubasa did as he was told and ordered Aquila to go towards the middle of the makeshift stadium. "Leone, Gale Force Wall!" He instructed, and a small tornado like funnel formed around his bey. Tsubasa, to avoid being thrown around, made Aquila jump into it and spin with it. It seemed Tsubasa wasn't the only one who had that idea, as Jack made his bey do the same thing. But Damian was too caught up in his move to avoid it, and Leone's attack ended up canceling out his move.
"You really thought that trick would work?!" Kyouya mocked. "If it didn't work then why would it work now?!" While Damian was distracted by Kyouya, Tsubasa took this moment to strike.
"Eagle!" He called to his bey, which started charging at Kerbecs, only to be stopped by Jack's bey, Befall, ramming into it.
"Oh no you don't, my dear Tsubasa!" Jack warned. "It was a brilliant plan, but you both are going to become part of my flawless masterpiece! Now, to start it! Befall the Ripper!" Jack's bey spirit, a large peacock, came out and showed its brilliant feathers. A bunch of feather-like objects appeared besides it and started flying towards the ground. Fortunately, Tsubasa already saw what he was planning, and started dodging them, Kyouya following in suit. "Yes, my art is starting to take shape quite nicely, but it's not what I thought it would look like." He saw, his art starting to look like a flower, but not very detailed yet.
"Jack, quit worrying about your art! It's not going to matter when I send them both to Hades!" Damian shouted at him. Jack just turned to look at him in disbelief.
"You can't send them to Hades! They're destiny is to become part of my next masterpiece!" He argued, he sent his bey at Hades, who quickly dodged it. Tsubasa and Kyouya just sweatdropped. Jack and Damian were so eager to fight them, now they're fighting each other on how to fight them. One wanted to turn them into art, while the others wanted to send them to Hades. Tsubasa knew he should probably attack now, but he could let them go just a few more minutes to give Eagle and Madoka a little more time.
"My name is Madoka Amano!" Madoka quickly explained, not wanting to look back and see who was there. Normally she wouldn't be so scared, but she was only a couple inches tall and if she made whoever it was who was behind her mad, he could easily crush her. "I was told to come here to tell Hatter that the White Rabbit sent me! The Underground was under attack, and he said that he'll be back by the full moon, and if he isn't then he's been captured!"
"What? T-that's impossible! How could the Underground be attacked?! Y-you're lying!" He accused.
"What would she have to gain, Zeo?" Another voice said, trying to calm the first voice, Zeo, down. "You know how much Tsubasa loves Eagle, he wouldn't just send some stranger with his beloved friend here without so much a reason as great as that."
"Y-you're right, Toby. I'm sorry, Madoka, right? I just didn't want to believe it… that my friends could be in danger."
"I understand, don't worry about it!" Madoka said assuring Zeo. Tsubasa seemed strong, and if his friends were as half as strong as him, then she was sure they could take care of themselves. Madoka decided that she should probably turn around, so she could put a face to their names.
She looked where the sound of the second one came from, since it was in the first direction she looked when she turned to face them. It was a short, scrawny boy standing there, smiling lightly at her, as if to tell her it was going to be okay. He had shoulder length grey hair (did everyone in Wonderland have odd colored hair?) and messily cut bangs, parted so both sides stayed out of his eyes for the most part. He was wearing a black button up shirt with a light brown jacket over it and black dress pants, with light brown dress shoes.
Madoka then looked at the other boy. He was a tall, skinny boy with long, spiky auburn hair with beige highlights in it, pulled back in a short ponytail. She then noticed the red top hat on his head, which matched his red suit (with the exception of the black dress shirt underneath it and the black dress shoes) rather well.
"Are you Hatter?" Madoka spoke the question that made its way into her mind out loud.
"Yeah, but that's just a code name. You can call me Zeo." He said, as he pointed to his friend. "And his code name's Caterpillar, but you can just call him Toby." Toby gave a nod in her direction.
"Hey, Zeo? Do we have any of the growing cake left? I don't think she wants to stay that small forever and it's dangerous to be that size. Especially when Benkei's around." Zeo reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small piece of bread wrapped in plastic wrap. It looked to be vanilla flavored, but since this is Wonderland, you never know. He quickly unwrapped it and then ripped off a smaller piece to give to the mini-Madoka. "Here, eat this." Madoka was about to take a bite, but remembered something and lightly blushed.
"No!" Both boys looked a bit startled by this, so Madoka explained, still rather embarrassed. "Well, when I shrunk my close didn't shrink with me, so I assume that when I grow, I'll outgrow my 'clothing' and then I'll be…" Madoka trailed off, not wanting to go into further detail, but both boys seemed to get it because they were both blushing like mad at what had almost happened.
"Where do we?" Toby started asking Zeo, who just shrugged his shoulders, they both thought for a moment, and then an idea came to them.
"HIKARU!" They both yelled loudly. A few moments later a girl, also around Madoka's age, came in looking at the boy's annoyed. She lightly pushed her short, messily layered cool blue hair out of her face a little as she looked at the boys with a piercing glare from her bluish-purple eyes.
"If you guys got in trouble for another one of your antics, I am not getting involved again." She then noticed Eagle sitting there, holding a pair of goggles and a small girl sitting in the lens. She then looked at them strictly yet questioningly. "What did you do?"
"It's actually not our faults this time!" Zeo defended as Toby explained.
"It seems that the Underground has been attacked, and Tsubasa has, for some reason, sent this girl, Madoka, here. Apparently, if he's not back by the full moon then he's been captured by whoever invaded the Underground." Hikaru looked shocked.
"But the Underground…" She looked at Madoka. "How did this happen?"
"I'm not sure! We were just waiting at a beypark for his friends so he could show me what beyblading is!"
"You don't know what beyblading is!" Zeo asked shocked, even Toby and Hikaru looked taken by surprise.
"That would explain why Tsubasa sent you here, instead of keeping you there to fight. But how do you now know what beyblading is?" Toby questioned.
"It's a long story…" Zeo, Toby and Hikaru looked were looking at her intently, waiting for her to start. Madoka sighed. "Well…"
Tsubasa and Kyouya watched as Jack and Damian basically tore each other apart. It seems as though they had forgotten all about Kyouya and Tsubasa being their enemy and now they were just focused on tearing each other apart. Kyouya was getting sick of sitting still, and after Tsubasa figured enough time has passed, he nodded at Kyouya, who smiled evilly.
"I've had just about enough of this! King Lion Reverse Wind Strike!" Leone flew high in the air, and turned upside down. A huge funnel came under it and a large twister came out of the bey. Aquila managed to stay standing, since it had been hardly damaged at all, but since Befall and Kerbecs put all their energy into destroying each other, they were weak and were easily thrown out of the 'stadium'. Jack and Damian just looked at them.
"You've disrupted my masterpiece! This is your entire fault!" Jack accused Damian, who just got madder.
"My fault! It's your fault! If you weren't so obsessed with art then I could have sent them both to Hades!"
"No! If you weren't so obsessed with banishing them to Hades, they would have created a splendid masterpiece- hey! Where'd they go?!" Jack questioned when he realized that Tsubasa and Kyouya were no longer standing there. They both had seized the opportunity while those two were distracted to escape.
How was that? Anyways, please Review and Vote (if you haven't already)!
What bey do you think Madoka should use?
