Rosalina hummed silently to herself as she watched Madoka finish up the final repairs on Artemis like she had requested for. Cerberus was also sitting in the table waiting for its turn, though it had more damage and would take a bit longer. John was beside Rosalina on the sofa, watching with less interest than the redhead beside him. This wasn't exactly his preferred way to spend his time. "Madoka?" Rosalina asked, earning a hum in return. "Do you have any idea where Yu might be?" Madoka placed Artemis down, finished with the minor repairs.
"The last time I saw Yu was...hm, not long after Ginga's father and Hikaru left." John perked up slightly at the mention of Hikaru and the director. "I'm not sure why, but he and Tsubasa left. They were likely training and found it better not to come back at the time." Rosalina sighed, leaning back in her seat somewhat disappointed. She had hoped Madoka would've at least had an idea where they went.
John had gotten up to approach Madoka and ask her more about Hikaru and Ryo. Rosalina was left feeling frustrated. This wasn't fair. This wasn't fair at all. Why couldn't she know where her friends and family were? Why couldn't she off fought to free Dynamis? Why couldn't he be here right now to reassure her?
"Why did Hikaru and Mr, Hagane run off?" She heard John ask.
Madoka frowned, apologising. "Ginga doesn't even know why The Director left like that, he just woke up and he was gone."
"Madoka?" Rosalina spoke again. "Madoka Dynamis had been with Doji that night, are you sure if anyone knows where he is?" John, who was in the middle of asking another question, silenced himself to hear Rosalina.
"Huh? I didn't know Dynamis was with Doji?"
"He was. That were after Ginga and whoever else they could take from- you didn't know?"
"I haven't spoken to anyone besides Benkei and Ryuga lately. Come to think of it they haven't been around since the earthquake either." Madoka stood up to hand Artemis to Rosalina. "I didn't realise it, but while I'm here I'm totally cut off from everyone else."
"Let's go see Ginga then" John said. "So you both can get your answers and I'm pretty curious myself now."
Rosalina grinned, "yes I would love that. I have so many questions I've just-" She calmed herself. "Lets just go now, if that's okay Madoka?" The redhead looked over to the mechanic, observing her expression. "I know you still have work to do on John's bey…"
"I do, but-" Madoka moved to grab her bag, placing most of her tools inside and taking hold of Cerberus. "I think I'll just finish up there okay? I'm sure Ginga will be glad to see you.
Ginga had been in his father's office when Kenta barged in. The redhead had been observing an old photo of a younger Ryo and himself in Koma village, Hyoma timidly smiling next to them. Hyoma… he thought I wonder what's happened to him now… His honey eyes gazed absentmindedly down at the photograph. Kenta stood in the doorway watching for a second before loudly clearing his throat to get the attention he wanted. "Kenta?" He was a bit taken off guard. "Do you need something?"
"We need to talk." He started, walking towards Ginga. "it's about Nemesis." Ginga sighed, shoulders slumping down as he mumbled how he knew that was what he was going to say. "You've been avoiding those two." He spoke about Kyoya and Dashan's want to plan something with Ginga, only being brushed off. "When are we making a move on these guys Ginga?" Ginga was silent. Kenta moved to his friends side. "Ginga..?" Kenta watched the worried expression on Ginga's face.
"We're not..ready Kenta." He spoke with a small sigh. "We may feel like it, but were not-we can't right now."
"Then when will we be ready?" Kenta asked quickly, "are we supposed to wait for everyone to come back? Are we supposed to wait for Nemesis to just disappear on its own? Neither of those will happen Ginga, I think we both know that."
"I know that!" He spoke a bit more aggressively than he intended to. "I can't take Ninel and everyone else to fight a fight I know we'll lose, bot now."
"We can't just keep sitting around!"
"And we won't, just for now-"
"You saw Dynamis yourself, they will send more to take us out and eventually Pluto and Nemesis will just come and…" Kenta stopped, taking note of the expression in Ginga's face before continuing. "Listen I won't pester you about it, but I hope you can come up with something soon."
"Don't worry Kenta I will." Ginga gave a reassuring smile, though Kenta didn't smile back. He spoke seriously, "then tell Ryuga that, he's-" Kenta was cut off by Benkei's loud voice call from down the hall.
"Hey you two! Madoka's here and she brought friends!" Both friends shared a curious glance to one another before exiting down the hall to see what was happening.
Back down stairs everyone was standing around talking. Benkei spoke enthusiastically with Madoka and a somewhat familiar redheaded girl. Because the girls was an unfamiliar male standing silently observing the dim room. Nile was awake, sitting up and watching everyone silently, his arm bandaged tightly and hung up in the sling. Dynamis wasn't in sight. Kenta hung back by Nile as Ginga approached the group.
"Whats going on?"
"Ginga!" Madoka happily gave a quick hug to the redhead. "You remember Rosalina right?" Ginga blinked somewhat cluelessly, she looked familiar, but his mind blanked on him.
"Err…"
"Rosalina Tendo" she introduced herself. "We've only met once briefly over video chat with Yu, so it's not a surprise you don't remember me."
"Right! Yu's older sister. Its nice to see you again! You're probably here for Yu...I don't where he is." Rosalina noded.
"I know, I was wondering about Dynamis actually. I know he was heading for you to battle like Doji told him too. Did he-"
"He's here now!" Ginag grinned, "where is he Benkei?"
"He's…?"
"He went off outside." Rosalina grinned, turning without another word to head out. Madoka smiled also, noticing John's presence again and introducing him.
"Ginga this is John. He took care of Doji that night."
"He did?" He looked up to the other male. "Well, nice to meet you!"
Dynamis was silent as he say under the shade of the tree he was under. His back was pressed against the bark and he appeared deep in thought. He wondered, why had Nemesis won? The stars had told him of the duty he and the others held as Legendary Bladers, about how Nemesis had to be resealed once again by their power. Yeh starts he observed so much that they would win or lose, but he had been confident of the evildoers downfall- why had the heavens allowed this? Are we being punished? But for what? Were we meant to lose, is it time Nemesis had control? No...that can't be right...the heavens wouldn't allow such an evil force to rule- would they? Doubt was clear in his thoughts, he hadn't been able to gaze up to the stars in so long...he was absent of answers, answered he desperately wanted. He looked up at the blue sky, not a cloud in sight, but a humid feeling of rain coming. Odd. He would have to wait for the stars to come out another few hours. He didn't want to wait as he patience grew thin.
Rushed footsteps broke through the silence of the area causing the Jupiter blader to look up, caught off guard by the shadow looming over him. Azure eyes looked down at him, almost tear filled. "Rosa-" his visible eye widened as the French girl dove down to catch him in a hug.
"You're okay. They freed you."
"Yes Ginga did. Rosalina I didn't know you were here in Japan?"
"I came for Yu and you of course." She pulled back from her childhood friend, looking over his battered appearance before breaking out in a grin. "It feels so much better knowing where you are how, safer from them." Dynamis reached to catch a little tear bubble in the corner of her eye before it fell.
"It's good to see you." He gave a warm smile before lulling her into his own hug. "We have so much to talk about."
Damian had finished off Tithi by now, leaving that brat in the village as he continued on towards the city. After hearing of Kyoya's trouble causing at the the camp, which he'd come across the ashed remains, he knew he had to go straight to the city where he knew Kyoya would be. He wouldn't bother with checking in with Pluto. He didn't care about whatever information his "boss" might've needed, he was in it to get Kyoya and Ginga, that was all. He didn't care much about Nemesis's revival, Doji had promised revenge, so revenge he would get.
Damian stopped in his tracks, storm eyes widening as he felt his foot sink into something. Disgusted he looked down to see his boot enveloped in mud, sticky and almost wanting to hold him down. He bit down with his teeth and pulled free, going on to try and shake the icky substance from his body, with not much of a favored result. He went on walking with a permanent scowl, trying to regain his train of thought. My revenge will rain down upon Kyoya as he begs not to be sent to the depths of Hades! Damian grinned, enchanted by his vengeful thoughts. "Thats right beg!" images of Ginga and Kyoya flashed in his mind, both locked in the chains of Hades as Kerbecs devoured Leone and Pegasus. Revenge fantasies truly made him happy.
The American boy traveled farther in silence as he approached a forested area. Grass began appearing more as it poked from the dry ground. Trees popped up randomly before thickening and drawing closer together to become the edge of a head tilted slightly as his ears picked up the voices of two males in the distance as the sound of earth crunching beneath shoes also came. Damian silently moved forward into the woods, his eyes darting around to spot the potential bladers. Their voices grew louder.
"You don't know what your talking about Ryutaro." A gruff voice spoke. "Now just help me pick these berries or go back to the camp!"
"I know what I'm talking about!" He replied sharply. A groan camp in response. Damian eagerly tore through the branches and bushes shielding the boys from sight. He grinned, beyblade gear in clear sight as he pulled out Kerbecs in excitement.
"Hey boys" he called. "Care to help me out with something?" He stepped into view. "I think there's something wrong with my bey, why don't you help me out." A dark grin stretched across his features. Ryutaro had his bey out instantly, sensing the danger in this guys voice.
Tobio also had his Capricorn put and ready to launch, "get out of here. I don't want any trouble!"
"Too bad that I do." He grinned again as a golden light illuminated around him and three beys flew into the air.
Finally done! Its past one in the morning where I am and I'm really tired! I read through for mistakes, but I apologise as I always end up missing down mistakes. Next chapter we're going to get back to Ninel and the others and maybe some Takumi and Ryuga. Hope you enjoyed.
