Song Of Hope: Part 2 everyone. Sorry for the mid episode interruption. Just pretend it was a commercial. Anyways, I reread my story, and found a contradiction. I'll fix it.

Colored smoke clouds and fireworks were popping out for the Challenge match.

"Buckle up folks, the challenge match for 10,000 Bey Points begins now!" The dome started opening up, revealing four stadiums down below. "Let the first round begin. Let's start with a bang! I think you all know our first competitors!" Ginga was raised up on a platform in one of the stadiums.

"I've been excited to get started since I got here! Let's get the Beyblades spinning you guys!" We were cheering him on in the stands. (AN: Everyone is where they were in the episode, only Kyoya's a seat over so that Ai is sitting there)

"Come on! Let 'em have it Ginga!"

"Alright, show them how it's done in Beyblade!"

"You can do it Ginga!" My bag stated moving around. "Artemis, stay still, or we'll be kicked out. Animals aren't allowed in the stadiums."

In a Private Box

Tsubasa and Hakuchoo were sitting down in a private box for their use, while Yuu was standing up and had his nose pressed up against the window.

"I'm surprised they have Ginga up first." Yuu turned around.

"The crowd sure seems to think it's a good idea."

"I'd rather get the boring battles out of the way so that you can enjoy the good ones, but I guess that's just me." Then she noticed something. "Hey, Ai's in the crowd. Maybe I should go say hi." She started to get up, but Tsubasa grabbed her arm.

"We're here for a reason, not for a social call." She looked really sad, but she nodded.

"Right. Sorry." She sat back down. "I'll talk to her later."

Back in the Arena

"First off, here's the Blader with the highest points unqualified for Battle Bladers, it's G-G-G-G-GINGA! And his opponent, who has claimed magician as his profession on his application, using Thermal Pisces, it's RUUTARO." We all took a collective slight gasp.

"Isn't that?"

"It's you?" Ruutaro laughed.

"Battling a star like Ginga in this stadium is the ultimate honor, and I accept the honor humbly." He flicked his wrist and made his fan come out.

"Who would've guessed that you'd be my opponent?"

"I would have guessed that. I've known that we would be battling for a long time! It's why I came to this town."

"How did you know that?"

"With a wave of my fan, I can see the future Ginga. Do not forget that as you enter battle with me." Ginga was speechless.

"No way, I've never heard of a Blader who is a magician before."

"It's just unscientific."

"He must be pulling us on!"

"But you saw it too Benkei! Remember when he sent that Bey flying without even touching it."

"I refuse to believe it. I've met magicians, and they use tricks that anyone could figure out if they pay close enough attention. I bet if Madoka analyzes the battle, a perfectly scientific reason will show up." Madoka got a 'why-didn't-I-think-of-that' look on her face.

"Why didn't I think of that." She got her laptop out and was ready to analyze the battle once it started.

"I agree. It's nothing but parlor tricks."

"Even so, he'd still better watch his step today."

"This is tense! Who is going to walk away the winner? Will it be Ginga or the newbie Ruutaro? Let's find out! Let the Challenge Match for 10,000 points begin." Then, the whole stadium started the count down.

"3-!"

"2-!"

"1-!"

"Let it rip!" They launched their Beys.

"GO PEGASIS! Attack him now and send a message!" Pegasis went in for an attack, but it went right through Pisces. We all got shocked while Benkei said 'Wow, smooth move.'

"I'm just getting started!" Pegasis turned around and went in for another attack. Ruutaro started making a pentagram design with his fan.

"Good luck come my way, good luck come my way, good luck come my way." Then, he did what he did earlier, and put his hand with the fan on the ground. Pisces started flinging Pegasis around, while I got a massive headache, and this time my ears rang. I held my head.

"No way!"

"He did it again." Pegasis was sent flying out of the stadium.

"Amazing! Pegasis was sent flying, even though it was never even touched."

"I've seen that move before! PEGASIS!" Pegasis changed it's direction and landed just barely in the stadium.

"It's back on folks!"

"I don't know if it's magic, but that same move won't work on me."

"Then how about you try this one on for size." He started doing a weird little dance of some sort. "Rise into the sky Pisces." Pisces started floating in mid air.

"Z-Z-Z-Zoinks! Pisces is floating in mid air. Have you ever seen anything like it?" Ruutaro started laughing a bit. Pegasis couldn't attack because of the fact that it was freaking floating!

"What's going on here?"

"How do you make a Bey float like that?"

"Maybe it really is magic."

"That isn't it Benkei! There has to be a reason!"

"I do not enjoy your sadness. Ginga, you should just give up right now. You know that you will not win against my magic."

"Fat chance pal!"

"I said you cannot win against my magic."

"You're gonna need to pull a few more rabbits out of your fan. PEGASIS!" Pegasis jumped up.

"You're being foolish I'm afraid. I will show you more power." He started doing that weird little dance again. "Special Move. DISTORTION DRIVE!" Pegasis went right through Pisces. Everyone gasp (including those not with us in the Private Box, this I did not find out until later).

"Did it miss?"

"I'm not finished."

"What gives? I feel all dizzy." Suddenly, I started getting a headache again. Kyoya saw me holding my head.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just a headache."

"Now you'll see a move that only Pisces can produce. The Distortion Drive has created, well, a Special Space." His eyes shot open.

"A Special Space, what are you talking about?" Then he noticed what he meant. There was no more floor underneath him. "Whoa! Where are we?" Ruutaro started laughing.

"This is a Special Space that was created by Pisces! Absolutely no one can escape from here Ginga!"

"So says you! PEGASIS!" Pegasis started charging at Pisces.

"In this space, challenging Pisces is a total waste of time. Now accept your fate!" He placed his hand on the ground again, and both Ginga' and my headache got worse.

"OW MY HEAD! THAT REALLY HURTS ME!" I got an even worse headache.

"It's like knives in my head! It won't stop!" Kyoya gave me a comforting hug.

"It'll be alright Ai. It's just a headache, nothing too big."

"What's happening here?"

"Something's wrong here! Ginga looks confused, and Ai is howling in pain."

"Look at this!" She showed them her laptop. "Pisces is shaking!"

"I noticed Ginga started attacking strangely when Pisces began shaking, and that's when Ai's headache started." Ginga was struggling with the pain.

"I won't lose. Pegasis, send Pisces flying through this weird space." Pegasis started charging towards Pisces.

"Oh, stop being to ridiculous." Pegasis missed again.

"What's wrong Pegasis?" Pegasis kept going around Pisces.

"This space is controlled by me and Pisces. Pegasis cannot even touch Pisces here! Quite the puzzle, isn't it my friend?"

"What is going on? Pegasis is unable to attack Pisces. It seems as if Pegasis is swerving on its own."

"With all this fortune telling and magic, this isn't even a fight."

"Give your head a shake! There's no such thing as magic Kenta, or at least this isn't it. Beyblade works strictly on science!"

"But this guy has got some freaky Bey that can float in the air! Not to mention, it's doing something to Ai as well! Can't you see that?" He pointed at me while I was holding my head.

"But there has to be a reason. After all, planes can fly through the sky, right?"

"To be perfectly honest Madoka, I've never really understood that either."

"Listen to me then! Planes are designed to have the power of flight based on their aerodynamics." She realized something. "That's it!"

"What's it?"

"The air! Check it out. The secret is in the shaped of the Fusion Wheel! The Fusion Wheel that Pisces has acts like the wings on a plane. It can change the flow of the air around it."

"Well, that's how the Bey floated then!"

"So it wasn't magic after all."

"No, it was science Benkei. It also explains why Pegasis cannot attack Pisces." They were a bit shocked, even Madoka. "It's the same as Leone. Pisces changes the air flow, and creates an invisible wall of air around it."

"I get it!"

"If the Lion Gale Force Wall is a wall of wind that repels it's opponent away, then Pisces has a wall that repels its opponent by making it ride on the air flow. Pisces is a Bey that can freely change the airflow around it. Ya following me?" Ginga was going 'ow' about his head.

"But why does Ginga seem to be in so much pain? And Ai's being affected by it too. Is that because of the air too?"

"I don't get my headache either. Plain air doesn't give headaches."

"Sure it does." We all had a collective group "What?" at Hyoma. "There must be a change in air pressure. If you climb up somewhere really high, your ears ring and your head hurts, am I right? If someone isn't used to the sudden change of air pressure, that's what happens. Ginga was used to the low air pressure of the mountains, but since he hasn't been in mountains for six years, he's not as used to it. And to keep that move up, the air pressure must be really high in the stadium, but a lot lower anywhere else nearby, which is why Ai over here is feeling the effects. We should be too, but I'm beating most of us have trained in the mountains."

"Well, I went to the mountains to play games with Osamu, Takashi, and Akira."

"And I go hiking with my parents as a family trip every year."

"Exactly. Ai, have you been in the mountains?"

"Well, not really. I'm not a big fan of hiking or rock climbing."

"So that's it. He's using the air pressure and airflow to his advantage."

Yuu was discussing this topic with Tsubasa and Hakuchoo.

"It's not only the airflow, but the air pressure that Pisces can control."

"He's making Ginga dizzy and giving him a headache."

"He's making it so Ginga can't fight as well as he can. That's just cowardly."

"Or ingenious. He's not cheating. He's working to his advantage. Those parts can be found in any store. If anyone were ever cheating, it would be Ai, since she made her own parts."

"She is not cheating. Using outside influences is cheating. Ai uses her Bey and nothing else."

"And so is this guy. He's using only his Bey."

"I never said anyone was cheating. I just said that he's acting cowardly."

"Cowardly or not, he's pretty good. Looks like Ginga will be eliminated in the very first round."

"If he is, then we'll know that Ginga is no threat to us."

"Let's just hope that if that happens, we can get this guy on our side. Cowardly or not, he seems to bring results." Yuu started laughing.

"You know Ginga, I can see the future, and the future is telling me that you and Pegasis are going to lose this battle."

"Did I hear you say losing?"

"No matter how hard you try, the future cannot be changed. You should gracefully give up." I didn't agree with this guy. The future isn't set in stone, and I guess Ginga felt the same way as I did. As long as there's fight, we can keep on fighting.

"No way, I'll never ever give up. Pegasis is still spinning!"

"Is it?"

"My Pegasis is still trying to battle, so I will too! I absolutely refuse to quit! So GO PEGASIS!" Pegasis charged right at Pisces.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"You say it's my fate to be defeated, I say I'll change it! Pegasis, full power!" Pegasis started circling around Pisces extremely fast. Pegasis then made a ring of blue fire. As Pegasis did that, my headache started going away.

"This is amazing! Pegasis is f-f-f-f-firing up!"

"What's happening?"

"It's heat from friction. By spinning faster than should be possible, Pegasis is creating high heat."

"W-w-w-what is this?" Pegasis started creating a vortex from the rapid spinning. Now, my headache was completely gone.

"Burn Pegasis!"

"G-Ginga, what are you, what are you planning to do?"

"I don't know, I just don't want to lose! I just don't want to give up!" Then, the space made by Pisces disappeared and was replaced by a blue space.

"W-what? Who are you?"

"Me. I'm just a Blader." Now, they were in a space in outer space. "I will make my own future! That is the Blader's Spirit!" Pegasis launched into the sky.

"It can't be!" Pegasis landed right on Pisces and sent it right out of the stadium.

"What a great battle that was!" Ginga called Pegasis back to his hand. "Pegasis crushes Pisces, and wins the first round!" Ruutaro crumples to his knees.

"I can't believe it. My Distortion Drive was broken." We were all cheering for Ginga's victory.

"But how did he win this one?"

"Pegasis's heat and circling produced a strong updraft. That created a vacuum for a split second."

"The air was sucked away, so then there was no way to control it."

"Well, that's Ginga for ya, he's the real deal."

"Yeah." Tsubasa smiled in a devious way. "He's getting stronger and stronger."

"Tsubasa?" He was snapped out of his thoughts.

"Hm?"

"You zoned out or something? You alright?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine."

"He refused to accept his fate, and changed the future. Ginga, huh? Now there's a real Blader." Ginga's victory gave me a new hope, a new hope for freedom.

Song Of Hope: Sorry about the whole interruption thing. Anyways, keep reviewing.
