"Well Yvone, you ready?" I asked my friend when the army was less than a fourth of a mile away.

"When I am never?" The ten year old blonde grinned, whipping her Bey and launcher out, snapping them together. In our ears, I heard the other three teams counting down, Nefertiti starting.

"3..." Nefertiti's voice was calm, despite the obvious fear that was behind it.

"2..." Jigoku growled, his teeth clenching together as a background noise.

"1..." Came Julia's voice, tense and angry.

"LET IT RIP!" I finished as I launched my Thundering Falcon.

"Here we go guys!" Jigoku's voice yelled, making me cringe slightly, "Hey Nemesis! If you can hear me, take a look at this! Neptune! Crashing Tsunami!"

"I see red blinking dots." Yvone muttered, "Cameras. They'll read the power."

"That or-" I cut off as a sudden explosion rocked the ground. Yvone screamed in terror as the ground underneath her fell out.

"Yvone!" I yelled, my arm shooting out and grabbing her wrist.

"Get me up, get me up, get me up!" Yvone shouted at me in fear, "Don't let me die Washi!"

"Not on my watch." I growled, and pulled hard, bringing Yvone up next to me.

"Th- Thanks." Yvone stuttered, "I was scared there for a second."

I nodded, my eyes narrowing before I shouted out, "THUNDERING FALCON! SPECIAL MOVE, LIGHTNING WING!"

Yvone yelped, "Are you crazy!? They'll read your power!"

"Don't care! They tried to kill you! And I don't think Yuu would particularly forgive me if I let them!"

Suddenly, Kakeru's voice filled my ear, "Everyone retreat! Helicopters are at ready!"

"Uh, gonna be kinda hard to get Washi away from the battle now." Yvone sweat dropped, "He's kinda on a rampage..."

"Fine, I'll drop a rope. After this... WASHI QUIT YOUR ATTACKING AND FUCKING GET READY TO RETREAT!"

"You'll have to drag me away Tategami! Shut up!" I snarled back.

Kakeru growled, "Okay then, you asked for it..."

Suddenly, a helicopter was above us, and a gas rained down, making me cough and blinding me. I heard Yvone doing the same. The next thing I knew I was airborne and inside a helicopter, Bao himself handing me and Yvone our Beys.

Bao glared at me, "You could've gotten yourself killed dude. Don't defy direct orders again."

His tone was cold enough to turn even Medusa to stone.
