"Piercing Lance!" Ming shouted as her bey destroyed a few trees.

"You're never going to learn to trust your bey like that." Charlotte said as she watched Ming train.

"Then how do I do it?" Ming asked as she began breathing heavy.

"First off you don't need to keep training this hard. You need to connect with the bey spirit inside of your bey." Charlotte said as she watched Lance stop spinning.

"And how do I do that?" Ming asked as Charlotte handed Ming her bey.

"I can't tell you how to do everything." Charlotte said as she walked away.

"Ugh." Ming groaned as she lay down on the grass and looked at the sky.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"You didn't go to the party either." Yukihana said as she looked at Zero.

"No, I was stopped by Ming." Zero said as he stood up and got his jacket.

"She's not going to stop bothering us until she beats Charlotte." Yukihana said as she watched Zero leave the room.

(In Ming's Mind)

"It's been awhile since we've talked." Ming said as she looked at her bey spirit.

"You've been training so much we never get to talk." Lancer said as he sat next to Ming.

"Is this what Charlotte meant by trusting you, I need to talk to you." Ming said as she tried figure out what Charlotte meant.

"Talking isn't the same as trusting." Lancer said as he looked at Ming.

"My grandfather once said in order to become stronger I need to be like my bey, but being like my bey isn't enough is it." Ming said as she covered her face with her hands. "I also need a worthy opponent."

"You've found three people that are worthy enough to be your opponent." Lancer said as he tried to help Ming.

"What else is there?" Ming said as she continued to think about what Charlotte had told her.

"You always start to panic whenever you start to lose a battle." Lancer said as tried to find the right way to tell Ming what she was missing. "If you didn't panic and let me help you then you wouldn't lose against some of these people."

"So instead of just relying on my own power I should also trust that you can handle yourself during a battle." Ming said as she looked at Lancer. With a small slight Lancer disappeared.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"I need to battle someone." Ming said as she stood up and began running towards the resort.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Lightning Sword Flash!" Masamune shouted as Striker collided with Pegasus.

"Push him back Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus slammed Striker into the side of the bey stadium.

"Looks like she's back." Charlotte said as she looked up and saw Ming walking towards them.

"She looks different." Yukihana said noticing she was more calm than usual.

"Pegasus Star Bringer!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus knocked Striker out of the bey stadium.

"No." Masamune said as he caught Striker.

"That was a great battle." Gingka said as he caught his bey.

"I want to battle you again." Ming said as she got her bey ready for battle.

"You're not going to push Pegasus into the sea are you?" Gingka asked as he looked at Ming.

"No." Ming said as she looked at Gingka.

"Let it rip!" Gingka shouted as he launched Pegasus into the bey stadium.

"Let it rip!" Ming shouted as she launched her bey into the bey stadium.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"She's changed." Charlotte said with a grin on her face.

"Did she figure out how to trust her bey?" Zero asked as he looked at Charlotte.

"I think she has." Charlotte said as she watched Gingka and Ming's battle.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Pegasus Star Bringer!" Gingka shouted as his bey collided with Ming's.

"Piercing Lance!" Ming shouted as her bey knocked Pegasus out of the bey stadium.

"Pegasus Star Blast Attack!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus landed back in the bey stadium and collided with Lancer.

"Piercing Lance!" Ming shouted as her bey repelled the attack and knocked Pegasus into the side of the bey stadium.

"Pegasus Star Booster Attack!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus circled the bey stadium and collided with Lancer.

"I need to trust that Lancer can help me." Ming thought to herself as she began to calm down.

"Pegasus Star Booster Attack!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus circled the bey stadium and collided with Lancer.

"Evolve!" Ming shouted as Lancer began to transform.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"She learned to trust her bey." Charlotte said as she watched Lancer transform.

"Once you learn how to trust your bey you can achieve new abilities that can make you even stronger." Yukihana said as she watched Ming's bey collide with Pegasus.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Knock him away Lancelot." Ming said as her bey knocked Pegasus into the side of the bey stadium.

"Whoa that's a lot of power." Gingka said as Pegasus jumped into the air.

"Don't let him get away!" Ming shouted as Lancelot jumped into the air.

"Pegasus Star Blast Attack!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus skydived towards Lancelot.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as the two beys collided in midair.

"Agh, full power Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as the two beys created an explosion.

"Lancelot!" Ming shouted as the bey stadium was covered in smoke.

"Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as he tried to find Pegasus.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey got rid of the smoke.

"Pegasus Star Booster Attack!" Gingka shouted as his bey circled the bey stadium and collided with Lancelot.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey repelled the attack.

"Arg, she's gotten a lot strong." Gingka thought to himself as Pegasus moved away from Lancelot.

"Piercing Lance!" Ming shouted as Lancelot began trying to attack Pegasus.

"Keep dodging him Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus avoided the attack.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey tried to attack Pegasus.

"Dodge it Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus dodged the attack.

"There's more than one way to hit a bey." Ming said as Pegasus slammed into the wall.

"What happened?" Gingka said knowing Lancelot's attack missed Pegasus.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Ming's special move affects the air waves around her bey." Madoka said as she scanned Ming's bey. "As the attack passed Pegasus the air waves must have knocked Pegasus into the wall."

"So Pegasus can't avoid this attack unless he attacks it head on." Kyoya said as he watched Pegasus get knocked into the side of the bey stadium.

"The special move can only be avoided if Pegasus jumps in the air." Madoka said noticing the special moves weak spot.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as Pegasus dodged the attack.

"Ugh Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus got knocked into the side of the bey stadium.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as Lancelot went in for another attack.

"Stay right in front of Lancelot." Gingka said as Pegasus got in front of Lancelot's attack.

"Speed up!" Ming shouted as Lancelot tried to hit Pegasus.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"What's Gingka doing?" Kyoya asked as he watched Pegasus speed up.

"Pegasus is using the air waves in front of Lancelot to gain more speed." Madoka said as she scanned Pegasus.

"So he's using Ming's special move against her." Kyoya said as he watched Lancelot gain more speed. "How did Lancelot gain more speed?"

"Pegasus is reducing air resistance around Lancelot and that's why he's speeding up." Madoka said as she watched the two beys gain even more speed.

"Why would Gingka help increase Ming's speed?" Kyoya asked as he watched the two beys circled the bey stadium.

"The faster Pegasus goes the stronger Gingka's special move will be." Madoka said as she noticed Pegasus began leaving behind a trail of blue fire.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Pegasus Star Booster Attack!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus disappeared and reappeared behind Lancelot.

"I can't keep track of their movements." Ming thought to herself as she watched the bey stadium become engulfed in blue fire.

"Go Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus collided with Lancelot.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as the two beys created an explosion.

"Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Pegasus was knocked into the air.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey jumped into the air.

"Pegasus Stardust Driver!" Gingka shouted as the two beys collided in midair.

"Full power Lancelot!" Ming shouted as the two beys created an explosion.

"Agh Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as the bey stadium became surrounded in smoke.

"Spiraling Spear." Ming said as her bey got rid of the smoke.

"Pegasus Star Booster Attack!" Gingka shouted as his bey collided with Ming's bey.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey knocked Pegasus out of the bey stadium.

"No Pegasus!" Gingka shouted as Ming's bey stopped spinning.

"Lancelot!" Ming shouted as Gingka caught his bey.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"It's a draw." Charlotte said with a surprised look on her face.

"She's gotten better." Yukihana said as she looked at Charlotte and Zero.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"I want a rematch." Ming said as she got her bey ready for battle.

"I've had enough battles for one day." Gingka said thinking of all the battles he had been in.

"Then I want to battle him." Ming said as she pointed at Zero.

"You still need become a lot stronger." Charlotte said as she looked at Dashan. "Battle him."

"Then I'll battle you." Ming said as she looked at Dashan.

"I wish you luck." Dashan said as he walked over to the bey stadium.

"Let it rip!" Ming shouted as she launched her bey into the bey stadium.

"Let it rip!" Dashan shouted as he launched his bey into the bey stadium.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey collided with Zurafa.

"Solid Iron Wall!" Dashan shouted as his bey repelled the attack and knocked Lancelot into the side of the bey stadium.

"Piercing Lance!" Ming shouted as her bey tried to attack Zurafa.

"Crushing Blast!" Dashan shouted as Zurafa began pushing Lancelot out of the bey stadium.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey knocked Zurafa to the center of the bey stadium.

"Storm Serge!" Dashan shouted as Zurafa collided with Lancelot and knocked him into the side of the bey stadium.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey collided with Dashan's bey and knocked it into the air.

"Strong Arm Barrage!" Dashan shouted as Zurafa landed on top of Lancelot.

"Lancelot!" Ming shouted as she watched Zurafa knocked Lancelot into the side of the bey stadium.

"Crushing Blast!" Dashan shouted as Zurafa began pushing Lancelot out of the bey stadium.

"Ugh, Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey began to push Zurafa back.

"Solid Iron Wall!" Dashan shouted as his bey knocked Lancelot into the air.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey came crashing down on top of Zurafa.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey collided with Zurafa.

"Storm Serge!" Dashan shouted as his bey knocked Lancelot into the air.

"Spiraling Spear!" Ming shouted as her bey came crashing down on Zurafa.

"No Zurafa!" Dashan shouted as his bey was knocked out of the bey stadium.

"I win." Ming said as she began breathing heavy.

"You've become a lot stronger." Dashan said as he picked up his bey.

"T-thanks." Ming said as she caught her bey. "Do I still need to beat Zero?"

"No you don't but you'll still need to become stronger." Charlotte said as she watched Ming sit down. "This was the first step you needed to take in order to become a lot stronger."

"I think I need to lay down." Ming said realizing she was out of energy.

"I'll get you a room." Madoka said as she left to get Ming a room.

"Does this mean she's going to stop battling everyone?" Yukihana asked as she looked at Charlotte.

"Yeah, but she's going to want to battle me even more now." Charlotte said as she began laughing.

"At least now she'll get a lot stronger." Zero said as he looked at Charlotte.

(The Next Day)

"Come on you guys!" Madoka shouted as Gingka and Masamune ran out of their room.

"We're here." Gingka said as set his stuff by Madoka.

"Start putting everyone's stuff into the limo." Madoka said as Gingka started putting everyone's suitcases inside of the limo.

"We already put our stuff in there." Disk said as he got into the limo with Kujo and Kuja.

"So did I." Kyoya said as he got into the limo.

"Zero, Yukihana, Akito, and Misaki are already in the limo." Dashan said as he made sure everyone was putting their stuff in the limo.

"Now we can leave." Madoka said as she looked at the ocean. "I'm going to miss this place."

(Metal City)

"Everyone's back!" Crystal shouted as she saw a limo pull up next to the B-pit.

"We finally have more people to battle." Frost said as they began to laugh.

"You can take the rest of the day off Crystal." Madoka said as she entered the B-pit with Gingka and Kyoya.

"Really?" Crystal said as she looked at Madoka.

"Yeah, you deserve it." Madoka said noticing the B-pit was in great condition.

"Ramen shop!" Crystal shouted as she jumped over the counter and ran out the door.

"I'm going to get a ten layered burger." Gingka said as he left the B-pit.

"Of course." Madoka and Kyoya said as they began laughing.

"Crystal kept this place in order while you were away." Frost said as Madoka looked around.

"She did a great job I need to make sure she gets paid more." Madoka said as she sat behind the counter.

"This tea is great." Misaki said as she took a sip of her tea.

"I agree." Akito said as Misaki handed him her cup of tea.

"What should we do now?" Misaki asked as she looked at Akito.

"Walk around the city?" Akito said as he took a sip of Misaki's tea.

"It's been a long time since we've been here." Misaki said as they began walking around the city.
