"Ok, now that that's over." Yami said as they appeared on the beach. The black-haired author threw a water balloon into Mitsuko's face. "Catch me if you can! Yahoo!" He shouted, riding off on a hoverboard.
"Oh, it is ON!" Mitsuko yelled, snapping her fingers and creating hundreds of water balloon missiles, which flew at Yami rapidly.
"Oh yeah?" Yami snapped his fingers and twice the amount of water balloons appeared and started flying at Mitsuko, some hitting her. Gingka, meanwhile, smacked water balloons on Kaminari and Hakaihime's heads, then threw one at Evil Gingka. Evil Gingka ducked, grabbed Gingka in a headlock, and slammed a water balloon in his face, while Hakaihime slammed water balloons on both the Gingkas' heads. Kaminari tossed a ton of water balloons into the air and threw her feather kunai at them, popping them all and soaking everyone. Gingka soon grabbed the hose and started attacking Evil Gingka with it. Mitsuko snapped her fingers and created a tsunami that hit everyone. In retaliation, Yami created a water balloon the size of a planet and hovered it over everyone's' heads.
"Uh Oh." Evil Gingka and Hakaihime said.
Gingka turned pale. "We're in trouble…" he muttered as Kaminari started flying around giant water balloon, trying to get above it.
"Time to get wetter than we are!" Mitsuko exclaimed, putting on a raincoat, then diving gear, then making a submarine and opening the top door. "Okay Yami, let it rip!"
"BANZAI!" Yami shouted, smashing the water balloon on everyone.
"Whoa!" Evil Gingka and Hakaihime yelled as they were washed away.
Gingka soon emerged from the water, coughing. "Great, thanks, now I got a bunch of water in my lungs."
Kaminari, who had been forced out of the air by the flood, climbed out of it. "Great, you waterlogged my wings and half-drowned my blader." the redhaired ninja female created a huge thunderstorm. "How dare you?"
"That looks more like something Hakaihime would do…" Mitsuko commented, helping Gingka get out of the flood. The redhead laid on his back, panting and coughing up water.
"Nah, she's the level headed one of the group. Where is she, anyway?" Yami asked, floating above the flood. The black-haired author soon found himself tacked into the water by Evil Gingka and Hakaihime.
"Apparently right there." Mitsuko laughed.
"Calm down Kaminari!" Gingka called, getting up.
Kaminari grinned and stopped her thunderstorm. "Fine, looks like Hakaihime and Evil you got the job done." she said as Mitsuko climbed into her submarine and closed the top, then emptied the water out of it.
"Whatever." Yami reappeared out of the water, then snapped his fingers, causing all of the water to disappear and drying everyone off. "I would find Doji at this point, but I bet he's still recovering from that kick I gave him."
"What're you talking about? You didn't kick him that hard." Evil Gingka asked.
"Aww man! i really wanted to use this thing! Oh well…" Mitsuko exclaimed, popping out of her submarine, then snapping her fingers and causing it to disappear. "I think he did kick him pretty hard though... "
"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, what are we going to do next?" Gingka asked.
"Well, we could have a flying race between me and Hakaihime around the city, or we could go do something else." Kaminari suggested.
"Like ride in my submarine?" Mitsuko asked.
"Why not?" Yami said.
"We might find something cool in the ocean." Evil Gingka spoke up.
"Hang on then!" Mitsuko snapped her fingers and the group was teleported to a submarine on the coast of the Pacific.
"You know, i really prefer riding Kaminari at high speed to teleporting." Gingka muttered.
"So do I on Hakaihime." Evil Gingka said.
"You two can be so alike, sometimes." Hakaihime said.
"Lovebird alert!" Mitsuko teased. Gingka and Kaminari turned beet red, and Evil Gingka and Hakaihime rolled their eyes.
"Can we go now?" Yami asked, back flipping into the submarine
"Sure!" Mitsuko exclaimed, following Yami, along with the Gingkas and their beys.
"So, who's driving this thing?" Yami asked.
"I am of course!" Mitsuko replied, taking the submarine controls.
"We're doomed…" Gingka muttered.
"Big time." Evil Gingka agreed.
Hakaihime rolled her eyes. "You two are wimps."
"Well, they aren't exactly practically invincible and stunningly beautiful creatures who can fly, change forms at will, and control huge amounts of energy with their minds like we are, so i say we should give them a little slack here." Kaminari said.
"Wha- Kaminari!" Gingka yelled. Kaminari merely laughed in response.
"Whatever. They're still wimps." Hakaihime giggled.
"Okay, we can make fun of the Gingkas later. We're on a maiden voyage here." Yami laughed.
"Yahoo! Let's go then!" Mitsuko said, shoving a few levers forward and causing the submarine to dive straight down.
"Whoa!" Gingka yelled, grabbing onto the nearest stable object and clinging to it.
"Hang on!" Evil Gingka called.
"Funny. That's what I'm doing right now." Hakaihime replied.
"Whee!" Kaminari exclaimed as she flew into the front window.
"Maniac." Hakaihime shook her head at her counterpart.
"Aww, come on Hakaihime!" Kaminari grabbed her counterpart's hand and pulled her along a crash course with several walls.
"Would you two stop doing that? I'm trying to drive here!" Mitsuko shouted at the two beys.
"Yeah, and I'm just trying to not fly back into the back wall! Can we slow down, please?" Gingka wailed.
"Don't blame me if I start throwing up in here." Evil Gingka said suddenly.
"Do that and I will kill you." Hakaihime glared at her blader as she and Kaminari crashed into another wall.
"Calm down, Hakaihime. He hasn't thrown up yet." Yami said.
"Mitsuko slow down before Evil me loses his lunch!" Gingka wailed,.
"What?" Mitsuko slammed on a lever and the submarine stopped suddenly, throwing everyone, including her, into the front window.
'Ughh…" Gingka moaned, getting up with one hand on his forehead. "That hurt…"
"Yahoo! Let's do that again!" Kaminari cheered.
"Okay!" Mitsuko reached for the lever again, but Yami grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"Unless you want Evil Gingka to lose his lunch in here, don't pull that lever." he threatened.
Evil Gingka and Hakaihime groaned as they sat up.
"Right, sorry." Mitsuko apologized, looking at the rest of the group. Kaminari grinned at the authoress under her mask.
"We'll just take this a bit slower then." Mitsuko eased the lever forwards carefully and the submarine began smoothly sliding along through the water.
"Does anyone have an icepack or something?" Gingka moaned, sitting down in a chair.
"Nope." Evil Gingka replied.
"Nuh uh." Hakaihime said as Yami handed Gingka an ice pack.
"Thanks." Gingka said, holding the icepack against his forehead as Kaminari calmly walked over and wrapped her arms around her blader from behind.
"What is that?" Mitsuko asked suddenly, pointing at a dark shape ahead.
"I don't know but it's heading straight for us!" Yami exclaimed as the submarine got rammed.
"What was that?" Evil Gingka asked.
"That was Doji in a submarine." Hakaihime replied, looking out the window.
"How did he get out? Didn't we put him in a cage? Ughh, where is he, I'll deal with him!" Mitsuko exclaimed, poising her fingers to snap. "Next time he shows his pink hair, his submarine is gone!" the authoress stumbled forwards as the submarine was rammed into again.
"Too late for that!" Yami replied.
Doji laughed crazily from his submarine. "Take that, you stupid lunatics!" he said as he rammed into Mitsuko's submarine again.
"Okay, that's it!" Mitsuko exclaimed, snapping her fingers and causing radar and sonar devices to appear. "If i know where he is, i can hit him with my powers! Yami, can you watch one of these?"
"I'll just leave you to that then." Gingka muttered, nearly losing his balance as the submarine was rammed again.
"If only this thing had some weapons." Evil Gingka muttered.
"Yeah, sure." Yami agreed, looking over the screens in front of him, but seeing nothing. "I don't get it. The sonar and radar are not getting anything, but Doji is ramming us like a race car."
"Is there a way to get out of here without flooding the whole thing?" Kaminari asked.
"Uhm, yeah, there is, why?" Mitsuko replied
"Me and Hakaihime could go out there and find him, report to our bladers through our mind link, and then we could get him!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Good idea. Yami, if you want to create weaponry for this thing, go ahead!" Mitsuko called.
"Already on it!" Yami exclaimed as missiles and torpedoes appeared on the submarine. "Hurry up, you two! We don't know how many hits this thing can take!"
"We're on it." Hakaihime said.
"Got it! Let's go, Hakaihime!" Kaminari exclaimed, flying out the door to the back of the submarine with Hakaihime close behind.
"Alright, here they go!" Mitsuko exclaimed, pressing a button to release the two beys into the water. Gingka and Evil Gingka closed their eyes and concentrated as the submarine got rammed again.
"They better hurry! This submarine can't take much more of this!" Yami exclaimed.
"Do you see him anywhere?" Hakaihime asked.
Kaminari narrowed her eyes, peering through the water "There!" the redhaired bey pointed.
"Over here!" Gingka exclaimed, opening his eyes and running to the side of the submarine to point.
"No, wait, over- how is there more than one?" Kaminari was baffled as Gingka reported the new information to the group inside the sub.
"Looks like we're in trouble." Mitsuko said.
"Big time." Yami agreed.
"Hakaihime, do you know which sub Doji is in?" Evil Gingka's voice broke into his bey's mind.
"I wish." Hakaihime replied, turning to Kaminari. "Do you have any idea which sub Doji is in?"
Kaminari shook her head. "No, but we can just hit all of them, since they're all ramming us!" she replied.
"How many subs are there?" Evil Gingka asked.
"There are at least ten of them." Hakaihime replied as Kaminari started indicating to Gingka where all of the submarines were. The redhead ran around the sub, pointing out the positions of the other subs.
"All right! Fire torpedoes!" Yami exclaimed, pressing a button and firing torpedoes that soon destroyed two of the enemy subs.
"Hakaihime, you two can come back now." Evil Gingka said.
Kaminari swam back for the sub after Gingka relayed the same message.
"Hit 'em!" Mitsuko shouted, hitting more subs.
"Five more left!" Yami fired more missiles that hit two more of the subs.
"Do you think that Doji could be in the last sub that's left standing?" Evil Gingka asked. Hakaihime flew into the remaining enemy sub in response, and Kaminari quickly followed, attacking the door with one of her kunai and funneling an electric shock through it that disabled the sub.
"Care to go ahead?" the ninja bey asked. Gingka chuckled.
"Be right back!" Yami teleported to the other sub.
"No, No! Why isn't my sub working?" Doji wailed.
"Because i disabled it by overloading the circuits with my lightning power." Kaminari replied as Yami appeared.
"Remember me, Doji?" Yami smirked.
"You! I will get my revenge for what you did to me!" Doji snarled.
"It was just a kick between the legs, Doji, get over it." Hakaihime sighed.
"Uhm, Hakaihime, i don't think a kick like that is exactly something a guy can just 'get over'…" Kaminari muttered.
Gingka shuddered. "It's not, Kaminari, i promise you that much." he said through their mind link.
"Whatever." Yami snapped his fingers and tied up Doji, then teleported everyone back to their sub. "Feel free to blow that sub up, Mitsuko."
"Okay!" Mitsuko exclaimed, firing all of their remaining missiles at Doji's sub.
Gingka stepped up behind Kaminari and hugged her. "Good job." he whispered into her ear.
"You too, Hakaihime." Evil Gingka said.
"Thanks." Hakaihime replied, looking evilly at Doji. "Now, what to do with you?"
"Stay back! Back, I say!" Doji ordered.
"Oh, okay, i can stay back and do plenty of damage anyway." Kaminari taunted, throwing a kunai that struck the wall less than an inch away from Doji's neck.
"I say we feed him to the sharks." Hakaihime suggested.
"Good idea! Anybody got a fishing pole?" Yami asked.
"No! Nooooo!" Doji wailed.
"Do we need a fishing pole? There's a shark right there, just teleport him in front of it!" Mitsuko pointed out the front of the submarine.
"Fine, spoilsport." Yami teleported Doji in front of the shark. "I bet he's going back from that. Anyway, let's resurface. I need some fresh air."
"Me too." Evil Gingka said.
"Got it." Mitsuko reached for the lever.
"Hold on a sec!" Gingka exclaimed, sitting down and strapping himself into a seat. "Okay, I'm good!"
Mitsuko shoved the lever forwards and the sub took off for the surface.
As soon as they reached the beach again, Yami hopped out of the sub.
"Hey, look!" he exclaimed, pointing to the sky, which was covered in dark purple clouds. A purple dragon flew out of the clouds and roared.
"Can that be?" Evil Gingka asked.
"It is." Hakaihime replied.
Gingka gasped. "That's... But i defeated that!" he exclaimed.
Kaminari looked at Mitsuko and Yami questioningly, and Mitsuko pointed at Yami. As the purple dragon flew towards them.
"Looks like she decided to pay us a visit." Hakaihime said.
"Yep! Hey, down here!" Yami called. The purple dragon landed right in front of the group.
Gingka and Kaminari instantly went on the defensive as Mitsuko raised an eyebrow at Yami.
"So what was with the flashy entrance?" Yami asked a girl who was seated on the dragon's head. She had long white hair with a red patch on the side, and golden eyes, and was wearing a black tank top and pants, with a white jacket and brown combat boots.
"Don't blame me. It was Ryuhime's idea." she said in reply to Yami's question.
Evil Gingka rolled his eyes. "Good to see you, Ryoko." he said.
Ryoko jumped off of the dragon's head. "You, too, Gingka." she smirked.
"Okay, now i'm confused. Who are these people, Evil Me?" Gingka asked. Kaminari had her swords raised, still on the defensive side.
"Friends of ours." Evil Gingka replied.
"Hey, Ryuhime. Turn to your human form so Kaminari will stop being so tense." Hakaihime said.
The dragon snorted before changing into her human form. She looked exactly like Hakaihime, only her purple hair was shoulder-length, with black streaks in it, and her kimono had dragons on it instead of feathers.
"Not my fault I look so intimidating in that form." Ryuhime said, stretching her arms.
"Well, i believe that you are the human form of the bey known as Lightning L-Drago, correct? If so, then it was my predecessor who defeated you before all of this craziness with the Fanfiction authors began." Kaminari spoke up, sheathing her swords, but keeping her hands near her belt where her kunai were.
"And you are?" Gingka asked, looking at Ryoko.
"Ryoko. And who are you? Gingka's twin or something?" Ryoko replied.
"More like my counterpart, actually." Evil Gingka said.
"Well, technically i'm the original, but whatever." Gingka muttered.
"And i guess you could call me Hakaihime's counterpart." Kaminari said.
"It's a long story." Hakaihime said.
"Not really, it isn't." Yami spoke up.
"I don't care. It's just good to see my friends again." Ryoko said.
"Where's Ryuga? I would love to see his face if he saw Ryoko." Mitsuko grinned.
"Probably somewhere training. Whatever, we just got through an underwater battle with Doji and I'm hungry. So I'm going to get something to eat. You coming, Ryoko?" Yami asked.
"Sure." the white-haired female blader replied.
Ryuhime transformed back into dragon form as Yami and Ryoko hopped on.
"At least I don't have to transform. I'm too tired." Hakaihime said, hopping onto Ryuhime's back as well, along with Evil Gingka.
"You coming?" the red-and-purple-haired blader asked.
"Eating means food, of course i'm coming!" Gingka exclaimed. Kaminari laughed and shifted to her Pegasus form.
"Alright then, let's go!" she whinnied as Gingka mounted and gripped onto the ridge of her armor with a smirk on his face.
"Ehh, teleporting after you guys works for me, or…" Mitsuko snapped her fingers, causing the spirit of her own bey to appear.
"Race ya!" Ryuhime called, taking off.
"A race?" Kaminari grinned.
"Uhoh…" Gingka muttered, gripping onto his bey tighter.
"Here we go!" Kaminari whinnied, taking off after Ryuhime at high speed.
-A few minutes later-
"So, let me this straight. You," Ryuhime pointed at Evil Gingka, "are an evil version of him." she pointed at Gingka as she took a bite of her burger.
Evil Gingka nodded in reply as he took a bite out of his own burger.
"Hakaihime is Kaminari's counterpart." Ryoko said.
"Uh huh." Hakaihime replied.
"And I'm a girl version of a guy who, in my opinion, is a complete butt hole." Ryoko finished.
Yami snickered. "Yep."
"Cool." Ryoko grinned.
"Judging by your hair, i think i know who. Ryuga probably wouldn't be very happy with you if he heard that, just saying." Gingka commented.
"Yeah, don't let Torahime hear you say that either, she would be very mad." Kaminari said.
"Yeah, probably." Mitsuko replied.
"Don't care." Ryoko muttered.
"You would if you met him." Yami chuckled.
"Yeah, you would. Look, can we change the subject? Beys have very sharp ears and-" Gingka was cut off by Kaminari.
"Hey Tora! Catch!" the redhaired bey stood and threw a feather kunai at a figure with hair similar to Ryoko's, only with a streak of red fire in it. She figure was wearing a ninja outfit exactly the same as Kaminari's, only dark red and gold instead of black and blue. She also had a red dragon's tail.
"Kaminari, if it isn't my least favorite rival." Torahime said, walking over.
"Last time i checked, Katsutoshi was your least favorite rival. Where's your blader?" Kaminari asked.
"Around." Torahime replied.
"Is that him over there glaring at me?" Ryoko asked, pointing at a familiar figure across the room.
"Yup, if he heard you-know-what, you're in trouble." Gingka replied.
"Huh?" Torahime was confused.
"Nothing important." Kaminari said quickly as Ryuga walked over.
"Long time no see, Hagane." the Dragon Emperor smirked.
Gingka pretended to be surprised. "Really? I thought five years was not very long!" he said sarcastically.
"So, this is my counterpart?" Ryoko said, looking Ryuga over.
"Yeah. So what do you think of him?" Evil Gingka asked.
Ryoko shrugged nonchalantly, then kept eating.
"Counterpart? What in the world are you talking about?" Ryuga asked.
"Like an alternate version of you, Ryuga. That guy," Gingka pointed at Evil Gingka, "is my counterpart, and Ryoko here is yours. Ryuhime is Tora's counterpart and Hakaihime is Kaminari's."
Ryuga studied Ryoko intently for a few seconds then shrugged. "She doesn't look like much." he muttered.
"Yet her power probably equals yours, Ryuga. The Gingkas cant beat each other." Mitsuko spoke up.
"You don't either. But then again, I don't care what you think." Ryoko retorted.
"But, he is your counterpart." Yami said.
"Still don't care." Ryoko replied.
"That's just like you, Ryoko. Don't have a care in the world." Ryuhime chuckled.
"Whatever, see you fools later. Oh, and you," Ryuga turned and looked at Ryoko, "if you think you can really be a true member of dragon royalty, you better think again."
Torahime let out a growl to punctuate her blader's sentence as the two turned to leave.
"As if I want to be part of your 'dragon royalty' anyway, butt hole." Ryoko said.
Yami fell over laughing.
"You haven't changed a bit, Ryoko." Hakaihime laughed.
Ryuga stopped in his tracks and turned around slowly, his eyes on the verge of glowing red. "What did you just call me?" he growled
Torahime pulled out a fang shaped kunai and moved into a battle stance.
"Uh-oh, not good!" Gingka exclaimed.
"I don't feel like repeating myself. Besides, why are you getting angry at what I said? I thought I was nothing to you. You could've just ignored me and kept on walking." Ryoko retorted.
"And she was only telling the truth." Ryuhime added.
"Really not good." Evil Gingka said.
Ryuga growled even louder as his eyes turned red, while Torahime's started glowing the same color.
Gingka sprang up and grabbed Ryuga's arms before he could spring at Ryoko. "Ryoko, this really isn't a good time to make Ryuga mad." he said.
"Let go of me, Hagane!" Ryuga snarled.
"Kaminari!" Gingka called.
Kaminari pinned Ryuga to the wall with several kunai while Gingka held him back, then she proceeded to hold Torahime back.
"If he gets mad because I was telling the truth, then he's not my problem nor is he worth my time." Ryoko replied, getting up and walking away.
"Your friend needs to work on controlling his temper." Ryuhime said, following her blader.
"Those two are going to be the death of us." Evil Gingka muttered
"Yep." Hakaihime agreed.
"No kidding, but more like these four." Gingka said, releasing Ryuga as Kaminari collected her kunai.
"When i find those two…" Ryuga muttered, trailing off as he stormed out the door with Torahime. The white-haired blader paused once her reached the door and looked over his shoulder at Gingka. "And Hagane, if you ever dare to interfere again, it will not end well." he snarled.
Gingka rolled his eyes. "Well, an idle threat from Ryuga is better than him blowing up a building."
"No kidding." Kaminari said.
"Whatever." Evil Gingka muttered.
"Does anybody know what team we're facing next?" Hakaihime asked.
"Umm, its either Excalibur or Dungeon... Could be Lovushka." Mitsuko said.
"Let me check." Yami took out a laptop and checked the team placings. "Turns out we're facing Excalibur. And whoever wins that battle faces Dungeon."
"So, that means Dungeon has already won their previous battle? Good for them! Masamune and King need a reminder that they aren't the true number one bladers, even if they are close." Gingka said.
"Then we'll remind them, after we beat Excalibur. I am going to assume that Sophie and Wales will want a tag-team battle?" Mitsuko guessed.
"Pretty much." Yami replied.
"So does that mean me and Gingka will fight them?" Evil Gingka asked.
"Well, we have tag-teamed the whole tournament so far, and, no offense to you, Evil me, but i think i want to take a battle on my own for a bit. I'd like to see Mitsuko and Yami team up, see what they can do. Or maybe you and i can just take the first two battles and avoid doing a tag-team at all." Gingka said.
"We'll see when we face them." Evil Gingka said.
"Yeah, I guess so. So, who wants to go tour Europe for a few days before the tournament?" Yami asked.
"Been there, done that, but sure!" Gingka replied.
"I'm in!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Why not?" Evil Gingka asked.
"Sure." Hakaihime said.
Ok, then. Off to Europe!" Yami exclaimed, snapping his fingers and teleporting the entire group to Europe.
