Chapter 2: Leone's Roar
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter, sorry about the wait. It took me a while to come up with a good plan for this and the rest of the season. Trust me it's gonna get much more exciting. Please Review and Enjoy.
At the Bey Park, everyone was watching Roxas and Gingka battle against other bladers.
"Come on Pegasus!"
"Go Driger!"
The two beys charged in and sent the others flying with ease.
"Yo Kenta, Max where'd you find these guys?" Osamu asks.
"They're amazing." Takeshi said.
"Yeah Roxas took out three Face Hunters with one move." Max said.
"If you think that's amazing, just wait because Gingka is strong enough to take on all the Face Hunters at once." Kenta brags.
"All of them?" Akira asks in shock as all the bladers in the room surrounded Gingka asking for him to help.
"Whoa easy I'm only one blader." Gingka said as Roxas chuckles.
"Don't worry Roxas. I still think you're an amazing Blader." Max said.
"Thanks Max." Roxas smiles.
Little did they know a girl with brown hair was looking at Roxas and Gingka with interest.
Meanwhile in the warehouses, Kyoya was battling against the Face Hunters.
"Next! Next! What's the problem? Why are you stopping? I must fight now!" Kyoya demanded.
"Come on Kyoya, we've been battling all night." A Face Hunter groans.
"Ow! My Carpal tunnel is acting up." Benkei groans.
"Yeah his arm is just hanging there, it's gross."
"Prepare to battle. I'm not pumped enough yet." Kyoya said.
"Let it Rip!" Benkei and the Face Hunters said launching their beys.
"Unleash Rock Leone!" Kyoya said launching his bey and the wind gathered around them. "This is so awesome it has been way too long since an opponent worthy of my skills has shown up. Perk up ladies! We're just getting started!"
Suddenly a powerful tornado blew away all the beys around Leone sending them flying along with their bladers.
"Heads Gingka Hagane, I Kyoya Tatagame will crush you like the little bug that you are. With this Leone that is." Kyoya laughs.
Later by the water, Roxas, Gingka, Max and Kenta were on the hill relaxing.
"Now that was fun." Kenta said.
"I gotta admit that was better than dealing with those Face Hunters." Roxas said.
"Yeah it was good to be battling again just for fun." Gingka said.
"Yeah there are way more bladers than just those Face Hunters around here." Max said.
"This town isn't so bad after all." Gingka said.
"So does that mean?" Kenta asks.
"Yeah I've decided to stick around for awhile." Gingka said.
"Me too." Roxas said.
"Really? Awesome." Kenta said.
"Besides I found a really strong opponent." Gingka said.
"You mean that Kyoya guy?" Roxas asks as Gingka nods.
"Gingka, do you think that you should?" Kenta asks.
"Should what?" He asks.
"Fight Kyoya? He's the leader of the Face Hunters and the strongest blader they have." Kenta said.
"And once his Leone starts spinning it doesn't stop until an opponent is completely destroyed." Max said.
"They say his Leone is like a wild animal enjoying the hunt. If something were to happen while you were against Kyoya." Kenta said.
"Kenta I'm traveling around so I can meet bladers like that. Plus as long as I've got my Pegasus I like my chances." Gingka said taking out his bey.
"Pegasus? The poor thing." The girl from the shop said appearing in front of them surprising them.
"Whoa! Don't do that!" Roxas said surprised.
"The poor thing? Who are you talking about?" Max asks as she took out a small computer and explaining
"Look all the wear and scratches on Pegasus. You cannot get these by battling just one or two opponents. How many have you battled?" She asks.
"You can tell all that?" Kenta asks.
"Again, how many has he battled?" She asks.
"Well he did just battle 100 bladers." Roxas said.
"The poor thing. I have to treat it. Until then no more battling, okay?"
"Okay…who are you anyway?" Gingka sweatdrops.
In the end they followed her to a shop called B-Pit.
"We're here, come on in." She said.
"Wow, awesome. Look at all the Beys." Kenta said.
"These are top of the line." Max said.
"This part is my dad's shop. I use the basement as my Beyblade Workshop area." She said leading them down.
"So are you a Blader, too?" Roxas asks.
"Hmm…how should I explain? I don't really battle that often. I guess I just like fixing Beys and doing battle simulations. Does that make sense?" She asks.
"Sure thing, it's all good." Kenta said.
"Now take a seat. I'm going to examine Pegasus." She said holding out her hand but Gingka was hesitant. "Come on I'm not debating you. There may be only minor damage, but if you don't deal with it now it could be very serious. This is for Pegasus' own good."
"For Pegasus?" Gingka said before admitting she may be right. "Alright but be gentle uh…"
"Madoka, Madoka Amano." She smiles taking his bey to a machine.
"Wow I never knew Beys needed to be treated." Roxas said taking out Driger. 'Does that mean I'm gonna have to have you looked at?'
"Most bladers focus so much on the battles that they don't think about their own Beys." Madoka said examining Pegasus. "Wow this is serious. I'm gonna need to keep Pegasus overnight to look at it."
"What?!" Gingka said.
"Is that a problem?" Madoka asks.
"What? No, it's not like we're married or anything. We can spend one night apart." Gingka said.
"You heard him, let's do this." Madoka said as Gingka walked over to the couch and laid down.
"Alright then, go ahead. Married or not Pegasus is my partner. If he's staying overnight, I am sleeping here too." Gingka said.
"Okay, I guess it doesn't really matter." Madoka said.
"Hey Madoka you think you can have a look at my Driger?" Roxas asks.
"Driger? I've never heard of a Beyblade with that name before." Madoka said looking at his bey. "Whoa this definitely a unique looking bey. After I finish Pegasus can I have a look?"
"Sure I guess." Roxas shrugs.
"And after that you can have a look at my Sagittario." Kenta said.
"Yeah no problem." Madoka said.
"So Roxas, where are you off to?" Max asks.
"Uh I'm not sure." Roxas said.
"What do you mean? Don't you have a place to stay?" Max asks.
"Not really…I kinda came here from a faraway place." Roxas said.
"Well what if you stayed with me and my mom?" Max suggests.
"Huh?" Roxas said confused.
That night Roxas was at Max's house as Judy was sitting down dinner for them at the table.
"Listen I really don't want to be any trouble for you both." Roxas said uncomfortably.
"Of course not. We wouldn't leave someone who helped us out on the street. Stay as long as you need." Judy said.
"Not that I'm not grateful but why are you being so nice to me?" Roxas asks.
"Because we're friends, right?" Max asks.
Roxas looks at Max and smiles softly. "Yeah I guess we are."
Walking to Max's room they saw it was filled with posters of Beyblades and a set of bunk beds.
"Hope you don't if I have the top bunk." Max said climbing up.
"No, go for it." Roxas said sitting down on his bed.
"Hey Roxas, how long do you think you'll be here for?" Max asks.
"I'm not sure. Could be awhile." Roxas said.
"Awesome. Maybe with you and Gingka we can finally beat those Face Hunters." Max said.
"Yeah maybe." Roxas said laying down.
The next morning, Roxas was walking down to the B-Pit to see if Gingka was still there when he saw Kenta running ahead of him.
"Wow, Kenta sure looks excited." Roxas said when a foot stuck out tripping Kenta causing him to drop his bey.
"This guy really is a klutz." Benkei said grabbing Sagittario.
"Hey what are you doing? Give me back my Sagittario." Kenta said.
"And who's gonna stop us?" Benkei asks.
"How about me?" Turning around they saw Roxas standing behind them.
"Roxas." Kenta smiles.
"Give Kenta back his bey right now." Roxas glares.
"Relax, we're not here for you. If you want it back just go and bring Gingka to Metal Tower." Benkei said.
"You couldn't just ask him yourself?" Kenta asks.
"If you don't bring him you can say bye-bye to your Bey Bey." Benkei mocks as they ran off.
"No way!" Roxas said about to stop them when Benkei elbows him out of the way.
"Give me back my Sagittario! Sagittario!" Kenta yells as he tripped and fell.
At the B-Pit, Roxas and Kenta explained everything to Gingka and Madoka.
"They took Sagittario? Those Face Hunters are really starting to bug me." Gingka said.
"What are we gonna do?" Kenta asks.
"I'll tell you what I'm not doing. Hiding. You coming Roxas?" Gingka asks.
"You bet." Roxas nods as Gingka grabs Pegasus.
"Hold on! I still haven't finished Pegasus' maintenance yet. We still have to fine tune its balance." Madoka said.
"Madoka we don't have time for that. Let's go Roxas, Kenta." Gingka said as they ran out.
"Argh boys!" Madoka said running after them.
At Metal Tower, the three of them make it to the top floor and strong gust of wind almost blows them away.
"What a pleasant surprise Gingka Hagane." Benkei said as they looked up to see them on a platform nearby.
"Face Hunters." Roxas growls.
"Give me back my Sagittario!" Kenta said.
"Sure just as long as he beats Kyoya in a battle. No problem, right?" Benkei asks holding out Sagittario.
"Any day of the week, buddy. Where's he hiding? Behind your skirt?" Gingka asks.
"Yo Gingka! Your worst nightmare is right here." Kyoya said walking out. "I can handle you all by myself, but can you handle it?"
"Wait!" Madoka said running out behind them. "Pegasus hasn't fully recovered yet. What if something bad happens to him?"
"Madoka, we realize that but if Gingka something even worse can happen to Sagittario." Roxas said.
"Gingka! Look over there." Kyoya said as they look to the edge to see Benkei holding Sagittario over the edge of the building.
"If you don't fight I'll drop the bey. Say bye-bye to your bey bey." Benkei mocks.
"Come on don't do it!" Kenta said with tears in his eyes. "What's wrong with you? Stop it!"
"Roxas can't you battle Kyoya instead?" Madoka asks.
"As much I want to I don't near enough experience to do this. I just started a few days ago. Face it Madoka, Gingka has to battle." Roxas said.
"But." Madoka said.
"No he's right. Besides the spirit of my bey is shouting fight him." Gingka said.
"What's the spirit of the bey gonna say when I crush you into little pieces? It won't be shouting then, will it?" Kyoya asks.
"May I remind you that Pegasus is still not at 100%?" Madoka asks.
"Just give it up you're not gonna stop him." Roxas said as they made their way to the Bey arena.

LET IT RIP!
Both beys flew into the arena and as Pegasus circled the arena Leone made its way to the center and stayed there.
"Hmm why isn't Leone attacking Pegasus?" Kenta asks.
"Yeah I thought with the way he was talking he would be more aggressive." Roxas said.
"Let me see." Madoka said taking out her small computer. "The performance tip is a wide ball, defensive power is 800, centrifugal force 300. It seems that bey is an ideal defense type. He's got confidence in its repelling capability."
"A Defense type?" Roxas asks.
"Yes Beyblades are categorized into 4 types: attack, defense, balance and stamina types. Pegasus is an attack type, Leone is a defense type and Sagittario is a stamina type." Madoka explains.
'Wow, with all these types these Beyblades are sounding more and more like my keyblades.' Roxas thought.
"But you can't win without attacking right?" Kenta asks.
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Madoka said.
"What's a matter Gingka?" Kyoya asks.
"Go Pegasus!" Pegasus charges in but before he could even land a hit he was repelled. "What the?"
"What was that?" Kenta asks.
"Let's try this again!" Pegasus came in again but just like last time he was repelled. "What just happened?"
"You ain't seen nothing yet. Roar Leone!" Creating a powerful gust of wind Leone blew Pegasus around the arena.
"How did Pegasus get blown away so easily? Is it because the maintenance wasn't complete?" Kenta asks.
"It's not just that, it's the wind." Madoka said.
"The wind?" Kenta asks.
"Look at this." Madoka said showing them both an image on her computer.
"I get it, Leone is using the strong winds on the top of this humungous tower." Kenta realized.
"When Leone spins, it swirls up wind creating an invisible wall." Madoka said.
"So this was a trap. That's why they wanted us to come here." Roxas realized.
"What a stinker." Kenta said as Kyoya laughs.
"Wise up Gingka. You should know what it takes to win a battle: the blader's skills, the bey's ability and how well you choose a battle location to fit your purpose. Thinking of ridiculous things like: helping a friend and your bey's spirit while forgetting the basics that's your big mistake." Kyoya mocks.
"Ridiculous huh?" Gingka asks.
"Not that, it's going to help you now, sorry about that. This is Leone's Special Move: Lion Gale Force Wall!" Kyoya said as the wind pulled Pegasus in.
'This wind is almost as fierce as Xaldin's.' Roxas thought.
"Hold on. Hang in there Pegasus. But if I attack Pegasus could end up losing in a stadium out and if I don't attack Pegasus will be the one who stops spinning first. There must be another way." Gingka said.
"Take all day the answer's still the same, you're toast!" Kyoya said as the strong winds blew Gingka's scarf off him and into the air.
"Wow some weather we're having." Benkei said.
"Yeah, high winds and 100% chance of losing." A Face Hunter said.
"Gotta hang on." Gingka said when he noticed his scarf floating just above Leone and it suddenly hit him.
"What's a matter? Cat got your tongue, because I've got your Beyblade." Kyoya said.
"Not yet you don't!" Gingka said surprising everyone.
"What was that?" Kyoya asks.
"Battle's not over until the last Beyblade spins and the last time I checked Pegasus was still spinning!" Gingka said as blue energy surrounded Pegasus as it charged in.
"Ha! You fool! You attack now and it's over! Finish it, Leone!" Kyoya said as Leone knocks Pegasus into the air.
"No!" Roxas, Madoka and Kenta gasp while the Face Hunters laugh.
"Looks like Mister Tough Guy gets defeated in the end by a stadium out, so lame." Kyoya mocks.
"I'm so sorry Gingka, because of me your Pegasus was…" Kenta sobs.
"What are you talking about Kenta?" Gingka asks getting their attention. "My Pegasus hasn't been beaten yet."
"Huh? You're dreaming, your bey just got sent flying." Kyoya said.
Roxas looks up and notices a gleam in the sky. "I think you should look up."
"Huh? It can't be! It's Pegasus!" Kyoya said as Pegasus dives towards Leone.
"Pegasus Star Blast Attack!" Gingka said as Pegasus slams into Leone from above knocking him out of the arena shocking everyone.
"Alright! Gingka won!" Kenta cheers.
"Okay that was cool." Roxas smiles.
"That is impossible. My plan was flawless, it was a lock unless…you planned this from the beginning?" Kyoya asks.
"No matter how strong the hurricane is, it's always weak at the eye of the storm." Gingka said.
"I get it. Gingka let his attack fail so he could be launched into the air and land an attack at Leone's one weak point. Not bad Gingka." Madoka said.
"Did you just see what happened?"
"Either Kyoya lost or I need glasses." Benkei said dropping Saggitario in shock allowing Gingka to pick it up.
"Thanks." Gingka said as the four of them left the tower.
"That was awesome Gingka! I can't believe you beat Kyoya and got back my Sagittario." Kenta smiles.
"Don't thank me, thank Pegasus." Gingka said.
"Well it's fine as long as you won, but you were being so reckless. What would you have done if something happened to Pegasus?" Madoka asks.
"Yeah but nothing did." Gingka said.
"Luckily, say sorry to Pegasus." Madoka orders.
"Huh?" Gingka looks at Madoka and saw she was serious. "Uh I'm sorry." Gingka said to Pegasus.
"See, was that so hard?" Madoka smiles.
'Special moves? Hmm I wonder if Driger has one.' Roxas thought as they walked away.
At the Face Hunter's base, Kyoya was furious.
"Impossible! Unbelievable! I actually lost!" Kyoya said kicking down some crates. "Next time I'll definitely—"
"Do you want to win against Gingka Hagane?" A voice said getting their attention.
"What was that?" Kyoya asks as a figure walked in.
"Do you want to win? Do you want to become even stronger?" The figure asks.
"And who the heck are you?" Benkei asks.
"How about I grant that wish for you?" The figure asks.
"What did you say?" Kyoya asks.
From the door we saw a man with brown hair, a purple suit and glasses who had an evil grin on his face.
