"So let's take a break now since there is a big damaged on the stadium but no problem fans!" he ended his sentenced and the crowd cheered in excitement.

In the Waiting Room

Everyone was waiting patiently for news about Hikaru. Madoka and Momoka came in frowning as the rest looked up to see her.

"How's Hikaru? Is she okay?" Ginga asked worriedly as Madoka nodded.

"The tournament orginiser are looking after her. So she should be fine." Madoka informed. "All we need to do now is wait." Momoka ended her sentenced and sighs.

Everyone looked down as their minds were on Ryuuga and Reiji. Madoka snaps out of it and tried to cheered them up. "Hey, you guys, why do you need to mop around for when the battle hasn't started yet. Come on Benkei, cheered up and say that 'Bull!' like you always do!"

"I'm not even sure that would help." Said Benkei and Ginga smiled.

"Don't worry about us Madoka. We know from the start that we will be facing a very strong opponent. That's why we trained so hard." Ginga said and Kyouya sat up.

"We're not giving up now." He said an Kenta agreed.

"They better watch out because Benkei is coming to beat Ryuuga up. Eh- er I mean that is after Kyouya." He said nervously.

"Yeah- he's as good as fired." He replied bluntly as the rest laughs.

Somewhere at the hallways

"You wanted to know why I care for him, right?" Phicra asked as she looked at Hoshiko. Hoshiko nodded and Phicra's eyes soften and sighs.

"Okay then. Hoshi do you remember when I said I was looking for someone?" she asked and Hoshiko nodded again. Her eyes widened as she take a step back.

"I was looking for my dear friend, Ryuu." She started and looked up. "I guess it's been years since we've meet. I thought he'd change…. Well I seem to be right… but I didn't expected to be…. This."

"I'm sorry Phicra…" the brunette started as she looked down. "If I had known that… I would've help you stop him before he took L-Draco." Phicra looked at her almost shock.

"Y-You already met him?"

"Yeah, He was the one who killed my father…."

In the Dark Nebula Headquarters.

Doji was at his seat when Yuu and Teito stepped inside looking around for someone.

"Huh? No one's here either?" Yuu asked and sighs. "I can't even find my sister." Teito whined quietly. Doji stared at them as they still continued to looked around from the door.

"What is it that you want?"

"Oh nothing much." Both of the young boys said as they stepped inside the office. "We were looking for someone to battle with and can't find anyone here. This place is completely deserted! Man, I'm so desperate I would've battle that crab guy." Yuu said as he crossed his arms.

"Even if you lost in the first round. You seemed to be in a pretty good mood." Doji stated it to Yuu, which made them confuse.

"So what? That stuff always happen sometime. I don't even see the big deal." Yuu said and Teito stepped forward to Doji. "You better leave us alone." He growled quietly enough for Yuu to not hear. He turned and grab Yuu's hand.

"Come on Yuu. Let's find somewhere else." Teito suggested and walk to the door. As they were about to leave Doji stooped them.

"The tournament is over for you, so, why bothering to battle?" he question at Yuu. He looked shocked at this and turned around to meet the elder man's gaze. "Because Beyblade is fun!"

"Did you say fun?" Doji questioned almost threatenly as he narrowed his eyes. Yuu giggled as he started to talked about his match and doesn't care that he lose. Because of this Doji brought them both to a training facility. Pushing Yuu to the ground by Mizuchi as he chuckles.

"What's the big idea? That really hurt!" Yuu said angrily and stooped as he hears some bladers yelling. Both Yuu and Teito looked over to see Ryuuga fighting with the other Members. They were shocked as L-Draco destroyed the beys and the bladers were flying across the room. Ryuuga laughs maniacally. Tobio and Tetsuya was shaking at the corner with fear.

"W-What's going on here?!" Yuu asked as Teito looked down feeling guilty. "Huh? Teito, I don't get it." Yuu said as Doji chuckles.

"It is the fate of those who had been defeated." Doji stated as Yuu look at the facility one more time. Over at the wall were Dan and Reiki slammed and unconscious. From Below Ryoutaru and Keiko was looking above them.

"Why are you doing this to us? We pledge our loyalties to you and you're just treating us badly." Ryoutaru said. Doji just smiled wickedly.

"Naturally, the one who lose are put in good use for Ryuuga. You don't expect to lie here while reading comic books." Doji said, which made Keiko angry.

"You lied! You said you want to make this world a better place!"

"Oh, that… I'm sure you're brother can tell you that, right, Teito?" Doji said as he looked down to Teito. The little boy just kept quite and walk away leaving Yuu.

"Ah! Teito!" Yuu yelled and was about to run after him.

"Don't come near me!" Yuu halt, shock from what he had heard. "Those who lose, shouldn't be deserved to be my friend or at least touched me. They only deserve to be food for L-Draco." Teito said and looked at him coldly before leaving.

"F-Food?" Yuu said and gulp. He looked over again to see Tobio and Tetsuya had already been deafeted by none other than Ryuuga. Ryoutaru and Keiko looked at him with fear.

"T-That was awful!" He said as Doji called him.

"You're lucky to survive the first round. How will you fare of the results in the second round?" he asked as Ryoutaru became even more freaked out. "You don't want to end up like them. Then… you better keep winning."

"Even if I did win, what will happen if I battle with Ryuuga?" Doji put his hand on his chin and smiled. "Hmmm… let me see. Oh yes." Doji started and Ryoutaru finally got the idea.

"Y-You! You planned to use us all along!"

Yuu and Keiko freaked out a bit as they looked at Doji. "Not me right?" Yuu asked hopefully that Doji could spare him. "Ryuuga would never betray me! Never! It doesn't make any sense! He's my friend!" he yelled as both Doji and Mizuchi looked at him.

"Oh I don't think that's the case at all. It doesn't matter and the same goes for you." Doji said as he lift his glasse back into placed.

"B-B-But.." Yuu started and Rieji cut him off. "But before that, I need you to help me with my warm up." He said as Yuu take a step back. "Warm up?... Just forget it I don't wanna help you!" Yuu yelled but in the end he got no other choice.

Both of the bladers readied their beys and got into a stances.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Let it Rip!" the yelled as they launched their beys.

"Libra, Sonic Buster!" Yuu said as the stadium turned into sand but it didn't have any effect on Serpent. Much to his surprised. Serpent was about to charge at Libra but it dodge in time. "H-How did he do that?!" he asked to himself as he heard Doji laughs evilly.

"Libra!" Libra clashed into Serpent, making it bounced back. Yuu regained confidence and told himself that he could win. "If this is only the power that you have then…it's my turn." He said happily and attack Serpent again. Sparks fly as both metal clashed into each other.

"That's the way, Libra!" he yells again as Reiji smiled wickedly. Libra was about to charge at Serpent again but it started to wobble. Yuu was surprised as Reiji laughs.

Back At the Stadium

Ginga and the rest were eating at the stadium's cafeteria. Ginga, Benkei and Hiro were eating a lot of burgers and they consumed it in a short amount of time. Madoka giggled as Phicra and Kiyoshi sigh.

"You guys sure you have enough burgers over there?" Madoka asked as Momoka was happily munching on her French fries.

"I have to store energy to battle Kenta you know." Benkei said happily as Hiro nodded. "Yeah and also I have to beat your sister bacuase she beat me once. My sister's counting on it!"

"Oh yeah, your battle is between them." Madoka said suddenly remember.

"Let's do it!" Kenta and Momoka said and the other blader stood up. "Yeah, let's battle to our fullest!" Hiro said excitedly. Phicra looked around to find a certain brunette but no avail. Sighing she looked up to them. "Have you seen Hoshiko?" Phicra asked, catching Kiyoshi's attention from dazing.

"Yeah, where is she?" Ginga asked confusedly.

Outside of the Stadium.

"Itadakimasu~" Hoshiko said as she eats her Udon in a stall just near the stadium. As she was busy eating her udon a person sat next to her. She looked and almost choked on her food. "What are you doing here, traitor!" she half-yelled at Takeshi.

"Calm down, I'm not here to kill you." He said as he put his hands in front of him. Hoshiko eyed on him suspiciously and continued eating her food. There was a moment silence and Takeshi decided to speak first.

"Um… How's my sister?" Takeshi asked making Hoshiko looked up to him. She shrugs and continued back to finish her udon.

"Do you know what's the purpose for you to join B.A.N.?" he asked, hopefully she will replied but failed as she shook her head. "I see."

"Do you know there are four types of people in the world?"

"Yeah, one who holds light, another holds the darkness, one who hold both of those and normal beings." She replied bluntly, making Takeshi to sigh.

"You got kicked out from the game and back in again, partnering up with my sister." He said then he looked down, smiling disappointedly. "Wish, you colud've been my partner." He said to himself though Hoshiko could hear it. She stood up, shocking him and glared at him.

"What the Heck is wrong with you?!" she snapped. " First you said you wanted to kill me, then not wanting to kill me. What the heck?! Is this some kind of joke? Thinking that I could trust you again since that time?! You think that you could fool me?! Then think again Yamishi!" she yelled angrily, receiving looks from the owner and the other customers, and left the place, stomping.

Takeshi closed his eyes and open it again. His eyes has change from blue to brown. "Ceh, Bastard." He spat and continued looking at her retreating form.

"Stupid blader, who does he think he is?" she said and punched to the nearest tree to relive her anger. She then sighs and sit on a bench nearby. She didn't bother to look up when someone sat next to her, instead she immediately punch the intruder.

"Ow! What did you do that for, Brownie!" Kyouya said as he groans in pain.

"Wha-? Oh, hey, Litte Lion King." She said, almost mumbled depressingly.

Kyouya looked at her confusedly before he sighs. "Okay, the heck is wrong with you. Everytime I came, there has to be something that's bringing you down." Hoshiko shook her head, then smiled.

"I-Oh, yeah! What does 143 means?" she said as Kyouya's eyes widened. "Y-You don't know?!" he said almost yelling as she shook her head. He scratch his cheek and looked around. "Um…. It's a song?" he said almost like a question.

"A song? The only song I heard with number tittles is 524*. And room 13943*" she said and Kyouya mentally slaps himself for saying that.

"Well, it means…." He started his cheeks felt warm as Hoshiko looked at him, waiting for an answer. "It's… I'll tell you after I win the match for tomorrow." He said and turned away. He clearly thinks the blush is visible and walks away.

"Huh?! Fine then!" she yelled. Hoshiko sat back down and sighs.

"How did I end up, making people go away?" Hoshiko mumbled to herself as she suddenly heard a mocking laugh and looked around. She was really shock as she looks herself at her reflection on the window. The girl smiled in a wicked way.

"Do you think you can trust that guy?" she asked. Hoshiko take a step back and nods. She laughs again before looking at her.

"Please, like that Yamishi kid. He lied and he will do it to. He'll leave you alone, just like everybody else!"

"He won't! And I'm not alone! I've got friends who got my back!" Hoshiko said angrily. The girl continue to mock and laughs, till Hoshiko felt really mad. She punch the window till it crack making her knuckle bleed.

Her hand was bleeding but she didn't care. She left the place hoping to find Undertaker, asking him what's going on.

Back At Dark Nebula

"Libra, sonic wave!" Yuu shouted as Libra shot out a beam towards serpent but It just past through it. "Uwah! Libra's shock blast has no effect at all?!"

Serpent attack Libra, which made Yuu surprised. "W-Why, didn't Libra move?!"

"I've already told you,, Libra had already been effected by Serpent's poison!" Reiji aid as Yuu refused to believe it. "Stop talking nonsense! Libra Inferno Blast!" Yuu said as Libra make it's move but failed.

"Wha-? Libra one more time!"

Libra failed to make it's special move, causing Reiji to laugh and Yuu panicking. "Don't you see what're does down there? They're fragments of Libra's parts." Reiji asked as he points something small in the bey dish.

"How could that happen?!" Yuu yelled in confuse as Serpent attack Libra again.

"Dark Move: Serpent, Venom Strike!" he said as Serpent attack Libra mercilessly. Yuu dropped onto his knees, crying as he knew there was nothing he could do. Yuu looked to his side to see Ryuuga and Teito watching him from the stands. He tried to reach out for them but to his disappointment Ryuuga left without looking back and Teito looking at him coldly.

"I've had it. This isn't the beyblade that Ginga taught me about!" Yuu said as he cried.

"It's over!" Reiji said as Serpent was charging towards Libra but to be interrupted by two beys. Surprised, everyone turn to see Keiko and a man with a hood covering his face at the corridor, behind Yuu.

"Keiko!" Yuu said as he stood up. Teito eyes widened as he looked at his sister and Undertaker. "K-Keiko! What are you doing?!" he yelled as his sister ignored him.

"Yuu! Come on!" she yelled as Undertaker's bey produced and exploding amount of light, blinding everyone for a few second. When the light dided down, the three of the bladers were gone.

"He disappeared?!" Reiji shouted angrily as Doji still looked at the entrance to where Keiko and Undertaker was.

'That man…. Wasn't he the leader of B.A.N?' Doji thought to himself.
