Chapter 12: L-Drago awakens.
A/N: S'up, guys. MFB: Darkness Rises is back with a new chapter. So, hope y'all enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own MFB. Only Gingka's dark personality and Hikari. Tenma belongs to Junk Dragon.
Lightning flashes at the Dark Nebula Headquarters as Gingka faces off against his older brother, Ryuga.
"Little brother," Ryuga said as he grins, "It's good to see you again."
"Wish I could say the same, big brother," Gingka said as he glares at his older brother.
"Ha, you're not still mad at me, are you?" Ryuga asked with that grin still on his face.
"Mad? No?" Gingka said as he took out his bey, "Just want to destroy you is all."
"Too bad," Ryuga said as he took out his bey, "Because you know, little bro, you're no match for my beyblade, L-Drago." L-Drago was surrounded by a purple aura, making Gingka growl angrily.
"Gingka!" Kyoya said as he and the others ran over to him.
"Who is that guy?" Benkei said.
Ryuga laughs crazily as a purple aura begins to surround him.
"There's some kind of force around him," Madoka pointed out.
"Is that what I think it is?" Kenta asked.
"Correct," Doji said as he walked in front of them, "L-Drago. It is the forbidden bey, my friends."
"That's the forbidden bey?" Benkei asked.
Doji chuckled, "Yes, it's strange. I'm surprised Ryuga has recovered quickly enough to fully master L-Drago."
"So what if I'm not," Gingka said, "That doesn't mean I'll run away like a coward."
"So you'll still fight even though you know you're gonna lose?" Ryuga asked.
"No matter how strong an opponent, don't run away," Gingka said, "You taught me that much." A dark blue aura surrounded him as he said that. Ryuga grins as his aura begins to make contact with Gingka's.
"I see," Doji said, "So that is what happened. Gingka Hagane. The combination of his and Pegasus's power had made it possible for Ryuga to recover rather fast. How ironic is that? Well, it certainly fits in with the plans we have already made."
"I think you're getting ahead of yourself," Kyoya said.
"Your first plan should be getting by us," Benkei said.
"Though you call yourselves bladers, you don't know the first thing about beyblade," Doji said, "There is a tremendous power hidden within beys. Since ancient times, the powers of beys were known throughout history. The power of beyblades were used to change the courses of rivers and oceans. They were used to defeat many armies and create huge empires. It was also known that the power of beys were used to control the earth and being on natural disasters. That's right. Those who wield the tremendous power hidden within a bey, they will control the very world itself."
"That's impossible," Madoka said in shock, "I can't believe it."
"There's that much power inside our beys?" Kyoya asked.
"Yes, Kyoya," Doji said, "Out of all of the beys in the world, the one that hold the fiercest power the most, is that of the bey L-Drago."
"And as the one chosen by L-Drago, I am the strongest blader in the world."
"So what if you're are?" Gingka said, "I'm still not gonna run."
Doji chuckled, "Brave, but foolish. Merci."
"Oui, yes master," Merci said as something began to rise out of the water.
"What?" Gingka asked.
"Look!" Kyoya said.
"A bey stadium." Benkei said.
A panel appears in front of Gingka as Ryuga jumps over to the stadium.
"Now, little brother, show me," Ryuga said, "Show me that you can use what I taught you."
"Fine," Gingka said as he ran over to the stadium. The two brothers face off as the others watched from the side.
"I don't get it," Kenta said, "If those two are brothers then why are they fighting each other?"
"Maybe something bad happen between them," Benkei said.
"But what?" Kyoya asked.
"Now, Ryuga, even though you have awoken from a very long sleep," Doji said, "The power of L-Drago is already strong within you. Demonstrate the full extent of that power."
"Yes, big brother," Gingka said, "Show me the power of the forbidden bey."
"You sure about that?" Ryuga said as he grins evilly, "You might regret it."
"If I'm able to win against you, I want to do so while you're at full strength," Gingka said.
"How noble of you," Ryuga said as he gets ready to launch his bey, "But it's also foolish."
"3!" They both counted off.
"2!"
"1!"
"Let it rip!" They both launched their beys. Lightning flashed on the stadium as a purple dragon with red eyes appeared and roared at Gingka.
Gingka growled, "Pegasus!"
Pegasus and L-Drago raced towards each other. Pegasus had a dark blue aura surrounding it as L-Drago had a purple aura surrounding it. They clashed loudly and Pegasus was sent flying.
"Pegasus!" Kenta cried out.
"No, that could work!" Kyoya said as Pegasus landed on the slope of the stadium.
"Okay, looking good!" Benkei said, "Use the stadium's slope to increase your speed and go at him one more time!"
Pegasus raced towards L-Drago, which, to everyone surprise, raced towards Pegasus from the opposite direction and sent it flying with one hit.
"What just happened?" Kyoya asked.
"L-Drago came into Pegasus's path from the opposite direction!" Kenta said.
"But that's impossible!" Benkei said.
"Hold on a sec," Madoka said as she took out her laptop and began typing, "I knew it! check this out. Normally all beys rotate to the right and when they race around in the stadium they circle to the left. So when beys battle, they follow the same course as they chase each other. But that bey... is rotating to the left!"
"What do you mean to the left?" Benkei asked.
"I never heard of a bey doing that," Kyoya said.
"But there's no mistake," Madoka said, "It's just that it's spinning so fast to see with the naked eye."
"So, you noticed," Doji suddenly said, "Just so you'll know that the only bey that rotates to the left, is the fearsome L-Drago."
"So what?" Kyoya said angrily.
"So that is the one reason that L-Drago is known as the forbidden bey." Doji said.
"What are you saying?" Benkei asked.
"Well, why don't you think about it, my young friends," Doji said, "What would happen if a bey that rotates to the right and a bey that rotates to the left were to battle?"
"The strength and speed would increase," Madoka said, "Making its power unbelievably strong." The beys clashed again and both were sent flying back.
"And it can come at the bey it hits from the opposite direction!" Kyoya said, "Cutting off any chance of escape!" L-Drago sends Pegasus flying again.
"So it isn't a defensive type or a stamina type," Kenta said.
"No, it destroys!" Ryuga said, "Crushing opponents with its overwhelming power!" L-Drago sends Pegasus flying again, "That is the forbidden bey. L-Drago alone possesses the fierce power to rotates left." Pegasus was sent flying again and the force of the clash sent Gingka flying to the ground, grunting in pain.
"Gingka!" Kenta cried out.
"I don't get it," Kyoya said, "Pegasus is an attack type. It shouldn't lose when it comes to attack power."
"Then how come Gingka is getting his butt kicked so badly?" Benkei asked.
"Because of this," Madoka said, "The three dragons on the clear wheel, and the three blades on the metal wheel. At the moment of impact, these deliver an unbelievable barrage of attacks."
The two beys clash once again.
"Dammit," Gingka grunted in pain. L-Drago sends Pegasus and Gingka flying again.
"Such a lightweight, that Gingka." Doji said.
"Gingka!" Kenta said.
"I can't look look at this!" Benkei said as he covered his eyes.
"If you don't wanna look, go home," Gingka said, shocking everybody, "I know that there's no chance that I will win, but I don't care. I'll fight to the end."
"All right, Gingka," Kenta said as Benkei uncovered his eyes.
"You'll fight to the end, you say?" Ryuga said, "So you did learn something from me after all."
"I learned how to give in to darkness and work with it," Gingka said, "Someone like you will only be controlled by darkness."
"Controlled, you say?" Ryuga said, "Well, Let's see whose in control here." L-Drago sends Pegasus flying again.
Gingka grunted as he felt the force of that attack, "Is that all you got? I've taken worse than that."
Ryuga raised an eyebrow, "Really?" L-Drago sends Pegasus flying again.
"That's not good!" Benkei said.
"Wait, he's up to something," Kyoya said.
Ryuga grins as L-Drago begins to secretly steal power from Pegasus. However, Gingka sensed it.
Pegasus was sent flying into the air.
"Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as the bey was surrounded by a dark blue aura, "Special Move: Pegasus Dark Star Attack!" Pegasus began to race down towards L-Drago.
"Do your worst," Ryuga said as he laughed maniacally.
A purple aura surrounded L-Drago as Pegasus crashed down on it, and was repelled. A purple dragon appeared and wrapped itself around a dark blue pegasus and made it disappear by biting it.
"No!" Gingka said as Pegasus landed on the stadium, its rotation weakened.
"Gingka's special move has no affect on L-Drago," Kenta said.
"As expected," Gingka said, surprising everybody.
"Not surprised, huh?" Ryuga said.
"It would be disappointing if L-Drago was defeated by that attack," Gingka said, "However, I did sense my power being stolen. Care to explain that, brother?"
Ryuga smirks, "So, you've noticed. Guess I might as well tell you. There's one more reason that L-Drago is known as the forbidden bey. Well, little brother, at the moment of impact of with an opponent, L-Drago uses that secret dark power to absorbs the opponent's strength."
"So that means," Kenta said.
"Yes," Doji said, "Every time Pegasus did battle with L-Drago, it lost some of its own power, how unfortunate."
"Doji, that just stinks," Kenta said, "The more you fight the more power you give to your opponent."
"What should we do now," Benkei said.
"There's absolutely nothing any of you can do," Doji said as lightning flashes, "No bey can win against Lightning L-Drago."
"Not then, not now," Ryuga said as lightning flashes behind him, "And not from here on then." Lightning flashed from behind him again, "And that's the way it is, got it?"
"No, I don't," Gingka said.
"Still willing to fight, little brother?" Ryuga asked.
"To the end," Gingka said as a dark blue aura surrounded him as he transformed into his dark form.
"Interesting," Ryuga said, "Then show me what you got, little bro."
L-Drago raced towards Pegasus.
"Pegasus!" Dark Gingka said as Pegasus, surrounded in a dark blue aura, raced towards L-Drago. They clashed, creating a huge shockwave that sent both beys flying back. They clashed over and over again and each time they clash, it makes a huge shockwave that sent them both flying back. Dark Gingka and Ryuga roared as their beys clashed once again.
"This is amazing," Kenta said.
"I've never seen this kind of battle before," Benkei said.
"However," Kyoya said, "That guy is too strong. For him to last this long against Gingka in that form."
"If this keeps up," Madoka said, "No one will win."
"So this is the new power that Gingka have obtained since we last met," Doji said, "Interesting."
Dark Gingka and Ryuga panted as their beys were still spinning, their rotation never slowed.
"You're as strong as I remember," Dark Gingka commented.
"And you have improved slightly," Ryuga said, "Since this is the first time you lasted this long against me." Gingka growled angrily, "However, do you really think you can win against me with that second rate bey of yours? After all, it came from our second rate father."
Something within Dark Gingka snapped when Ryuga said that. He let out a menacing snarl.
"You dare," Dark Gingka said, his voice turning demonic and full of venom, "Insult my father and my partner?"
"What?" Ryuga said, "It's not my fault our father is so weak." Dark Gingka's eyes begin to turn completely red.
"Oh no," Hikari said as she felt Gingka's anger and tried to call out to him, "Gingka, calm down!"
"I told him not to get angry," Tenma said, "What is he doing?"
"It's the reason I left that stupid village," Ryuga said, "So I can get away from weak fools like our father. They couldn't help me get stronger. And I proved it by defeating that weak, fool of a father."
Dark Gingka let out a demonic roar as dark blue energy flared from him and Pegasus.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" He roared, "I'LL KILL YOU!" Pegasus smashed into L-Drago sending it flying, "DESTROY HIM! DESTROY HIM!"
"Gingka, calm down!" Kenta said.
"You can't win if you attack head on," Benkei said.
"Relax," Madoka said, "We can think of a plan together!"
"SHUT UP!" Dark Gingka roared, "I WANT HIM DEAD! I WANT HIM DEAD!"
"Gingka," Madoka said.
"What's wrong with him?" Benkei said.
"Something has happened to him," Kyoya said.
Pegasus smashed into L-Drago again as Dark Gingka roared demonically. Ryuga, however did not show any reaction.
"So, you have no control over that power yet, have you?" Ryuga asked himself, "But, show more rage, show more anger. The angrier you get, the more power L-Drago will gain." Lightning flashed marking everyone flinch.
"I see now," Doji said, "Of course Ryuga was able to understand this power completely."
"Doji!" Kyoya said.
"What is going on?" Benkei said.
"L-Drago steals am opponent's power and turns it into its own," Doji explained, "However, in order to use the maximum extent of that power, a massive amount of negative energy is needed. So therefore, when Ryuga first picked up L-Drago, he used all of his own power up. And had to sleep for a long time until he had recovered. But this time, my friends.
The others gasped in looked at Dark Gingka, who is still roaring in anger as Pegasus smashed into L-Drago.
"Gingka, no!" Benkei shouted.
"It can't be!" Madoka said.
"Gingka's anger is filling L-Drago with all of the power it can possibly take in." Doji finished as a windstorm started, "The forbidden bey L-Drago absorbs the negativity of anger and rage to become more powerful. It is the supreme bey!"
"That's it, little brother," Ryuga said, "Don't you want to destroy me and avenge our weakling father?"
Dark Gingka roared, "SHUT UP ALREADY!"
Merci begins to announce that Ryuga's recovering is increasing rapidly as Ryuga laugh maniacally as a purple aura is surrounding.
"He's provoking Gingka's anger on purpose," Kyoya pointed.
"But that's not fair," Kenta said as he looks at Dark Gingka and remembers all the times he had with Gingka. Even though Gingka is a cold and dark person, Kenta still thinks of him as a friend. But right now, the one that's fighting this battle is not the Gingka he knows.
"This isn't right, Gingka," Kenta said, "Stop it! Stop it!"
Dark Gingka started roaring in even more anger, until he felt two pairs of arms around him, making him stop.
"Gingka, calm down," Hikari said as she and Tenma hugged him tighter, "Don't lose yourself like this."
"I want him dead, too," Tenma said, "But this isn't the way to do it. Calm down."
Gingka's anger faded as he slowly reverted back to normal and fell on his hands and knees.
"So that's it, huh?" Ryuga said, "I'll end this now, then." The dragons on L-Drago moved, "Dark move," Purple energy appears in Ryuga's hands, "Dragon Emperor Soaring Bite Strike!" He fired the energy into the sky and lightning came down on L-Drago as three purple dragons appeared and struck Pegasus into the air. Then they came down and struck Pegasus into the ground, making a shockwave that sent Gingka flying into ground unconscious. The smoke cleared to reveal Pegasus had stopped spinning.
Ryuga retrieved his bey and grins at Gingka, "You did well, little brother. If only you had control over that power of yours."
Everyone ran over to Gingka and Kenta glared at Ryuga.
"How could you?" He asked angrily, "He's your little brother."
"Like you would understand, little boy," Ryuga said, then turned to Doji, "Doji, let's go. The time has come. Let's move on to powerful preparations for Battle Bladers."
"Yes, Ryuga," Doji said as he and Ryuga walked away.
Everyone looked at Gingka, who was unconscious.
"What do we do now?" Benkei asked.
"Let's get him out of here," Kyoya said.
A/N: Yeah, I changed some part of the battle. What are you going to do? Anyway, I finally finished this hell of a chapter. So, review! Oh, and a new MFB story is coming up. Just thought I'd let you know.
