Chapter 3: Wolf's Ambition and Tiger's Claw

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Sorry about the wait but I just needed to figure out some details that'll make this story great. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

Flying through the air in a helicopter, Kyoya and the Face Hunters were waiting to land.

"It's pretty small in here." Benkei said before turning towards Kyoya. "Kyoya where are we going?"

"Relax Benkei, we'll be there soon." Kyoya said when the helicopter shook.

"Kyoya what's going on?"

Kyoya looks out the window and saw they were about to land. "Where are we?"

Walking out of the helicopter the man looks to them. "Did you enjoy your flight?"

"Look man what's the deal dragging us out here?" Kyoya asks.

"My name's not man it's Doji and I thought you were tired of losing?" Doji asks.

"What was that?" Kyoya growls.

"Everything you need and everything that will make you stronger will be provided for you." Doji said.

"And what's in it for you?" Kyoya asks.

"I get a strong new blader, one strong enough to even beat Ginga Hagane." Doji said getting his attention.

Back in Metal Bey City, Ginga was watching Madoka finish her tune-up of Pegasus.

"Okay and done. You're good to go." Madoka said.

"Oh yeah!" Ginga smiles picking up Pegasus. "Thanks Madoka, you're the best."

"You know if you hadn't battled back there the tune-up would have been much quicker." Madoka said as they walked up to see Roxas sitting in the shop. "Hey Roxas."

"Hey Madoka, hey Ginga." Roxas said.

"Roxas what's going on buddy?" Ginga asks.

"Can you and I talk somewhere?" Roxas asks confusing him.

"Uh sure." Ginga said confused.

After they walked out Kenta and his friends ran in.

"Hey Madoka where's Ginga?" Kenta asks.

"Sorry guys, Ginga left a little while ago with Roxas." Madoka said causing them to groan.

"What?!" Takashi groans.

"Man Roxas beat us to it!" Akira whines.

"And I was gonna ask Ginga to help me with my beyblading." Kenta pouts.

"Guess it's first come first serve." Osamu sighs.

Back with the Face Hunters, on the windy mountain.

"Ginga Hagane you say? Why are you after him?" Kyoya asks.

"None of your concern, let's just say I'm not a fan of him either." Doji said.

"And why is that?" Kyoya asks.

"That is privilege information. However, if you work with us you might get the whole story." Doji offers.

"Sounds to me like you're wasting my time." Kyoya huffs.

"Of course, run away just like did when you lost against Ginga." Doji mocks.

"I didn't run away!" Kyoya snaps.

"Yes, you did or you wouldn't be here. You're a decent blader, but with my help you could even beat Ginga." Doji declares.

"You must be able to spin a pretty good bey to be able to talk to someone like that." Kyoya said.

"As a matter of fact I do. I figured it might come to this." Doji said.

"Then battle with me." Kyoya said taking out Leone. "If you win I'll listen to whatever it is you're talking about."

"Don't forget those words." Doji grins taking out his bey when Benkei and the others ran in front of Kyoya.

"Here's a little warmup." Benkei said as they launched their beys.

"Eat Beyblade!" Doji launches his bey and with two strikes knocked them all to the ground with scratch marks.

"Hey man that's not fair." A Face Hunter whines as Doji caught his Beyblade revealing a black bey with a wolf in the middle.

"That's Dark Wolf!" Benkei gasps.

"What's that?" Another Face Hunter asks.

"It's got equal Attack, Defense and Stamina making it the ultimate Balance type." Benkei explains.

"It's nice to see someone's done his homework." Doji smirks.

"No matter, no Beyblade is a match for my Rock Leone." Kyoya said grabbing his launcher before looking up at the sky. 'Not to mention the weather condition is perfect.'

LET IT RIP!

Doji and Kyoya launched their beys at each other and clashed.

Meanwhile by the river, Roxas and Ginga were sitting down.

"So Roxas, what's up? You've been quiet for some time" Ginga asks.

"Sorry, it's just. Lately for all the big battles, you've been taking the lead and I've been sitting on the sidelines." Roxas said.

"What do you mean? You've helped." Ginga said.

"What about when we had to take on 100 Face Hunters or Kyoya? You told me to step back while you took care of everything." Roxas said.

"Wow, I'm sorry Roxas I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I was just trying to help." Ginga said.

"Look you're a great blader Ginga but I don't want to be constantly standing behind you. I wanna be by your side helping." Roxas said causing Ginga to smile.

"Roxas, I can totally respect that. So what do you say you and I get in some practice?" Ginga asks taking out Pegasus. "Let's battle."

Roxas looks to Ginga and nods taking out his launcher.

"Ready Roxas?"

"Oh yeah."

"LET IT RIP!"

Both Pegasus and Driger raced towards each other and met head on.

Back at the battle between Kyoya and Doji, Leone was on the attack as Dark Wolf seemed to be taking all the hits.

"Go Kyoya!" Benkei calls out.

"Strike him down Leone!" Kyoya said as Leone knocked Dark Wolf onto the top of some rocks. "So this is the power of the Balance Type? Obviously, a Balance type has no weak points to take advantage of, but that also means it can't have a strong attack power like Ginga's Pegasus. Speaking of attack powers. I'll finish this with one blow! Go Leone"

Leone rushes at full speed and destroys the rock smashing it to pieces before creating his Lion Gale Force Wall causing the Face Hunters to cheer.

"Yes! Kyoya's special move!" Benkei smiles.

"Lion Gale Force Wall." Kyoya declared.

"Twisting up surrounding wind to make a whirlwind wall? It should be an impressive defense technique, but when I see it all I see is a pitiful lion trapped in a cage." Doji mocks.

"What was that?" Kyoya growls.

"How do you plan on beating me without even declaring an attack?" Doji asks.

"Don't think Leone only has defensive powers. Howl Leone! Lion 100 Fang Fury!" Kyoya roars as Leone uses the tornado to fire rocks at Dark Wolf.

"Impressive, using the rocky terrain to boost your attack. You might be a little better than I thought." Doji said.

"Your first mistake was bringing me here, the second was underestimating me and Leone." Kyoya smirks.

"Oh really? I just want to know one thing, is that all you got?" Doji asks as Dark Wolf dodges all the rocks.

"Give me a break! You're the one in trouble!" Kyoya said.

"You really don't get it? I chose this place to give myself a slight disadvantage. It was the least I could do for a weaker opponent." Doji states.

"What was that?" Kyoya asks shocked.

"It's sad that you thought you could win with a move like that. Time to put you out of your misery. I'm about to show you the true power of the Wolf!" Doji declares as Dark Wolf charged.

"Perfect! Roar Leone!" Kyoya said as the tornado grew in size and Leone rammed into Dark Wolf knocking it back.

Leone charged in for another attack, but Dark Wolf turns around and runs.

"What are you running from?" Kyoya asks.

"The enemy can't attack inside that Gale Force Wall."

"He talks a big talk but I guess he can't walk the walk."

"Zip it." Benkei said shutting the Face Hunters up. "Something's not right. It's not running away. It's using the wind from Leone's attack to increase the speed of its own rotation."

"What?" Kyoya gasps.

"Even if you noticed now its too late. This is Dark Wolf's Special Move. Darkness Howling Blazer!" Doji declares as Dark Wolf ripped through the tornado and knocked Leone out.

"That is so twisted." Kyoya said in shock as Doji caught his Beyblade.

"That was quite a battle." Doji smirks.

"But if you have this much power why not battle Ginga yourself?" Kyoya asks.

"I'll be sure you keep your side of the promise." Doji said.

At Roxas and Ginga's battle, Pegasus was on the offensive smashing into Driger again and again.

"That's it Pegasus!" Ginga said.

"Come on Driger! Knock him back!" Roxas said as Pegasus charged but Drigger moved to the side and rammed Pegasus from another angle.

"Whoa! That bey is fast." Ginga said surprised.

"Now!" Roxas said as Driger moved in and attacked knocking Pegasus back before continuing its attack.

'What kinda bey is this Driger? For a Balance Type it's got a lot of power. Using its defense, it took all of Pegasus's attacks before striking back. It fights like a real tiger.' Ginga thought impressed.

"No more watching from the back! Driger!" Roxas said as Driger hits Pegasus sending it flying back.

"Wow, Roxas you're quite the fighter." Ginga said.

"Oh yeah." Roxas smirks.

"But so are we. Pegasus!" Ginga said as Pegasus got back on the attack and clashed with Driger causing sparks to fly.

As Pegasus started to push Driger back Roxas started to cringe.

"I knew going against Ginga wouldn't be easy but he's wiping the floor with us. I gotta stop him before he uses that special move of his." Roxas growls when Driger suddenly started to glow in response to Roxas and knocks Pegasus away.

"Where did that come from?" Ginga asks.

Roxas looks down to Driger and heard a roar like the first time he battled with him. "You wanna win too." Roxas smiles. "Let's do this!"

On the top part of Driger's fusion wheel he started to glow white with light while the bottom started to glow black with darkness.

"Driger let's hit him with everything we got! Special Move: Twilight Slash!" Roxas roars as Driger smashes into Pegasus sending him flying into the air. "Yes!"

Ginga looks up before turning to Roxas.

"Well Roxas, I gotta say I'm impressed. It's clear you and your Bey are a force to be reckoned with, but so are me and Pegasus." Ginga grins.

"What?" Roxas looks up to see Pegasus glow blue. "Oh no." Roxas gulps seeing what was coming.

"Pegasus Star Blast attack!" Ginga said as Pegasus divebombs smashing into Driger causing him to run out of energy.

"I gave everything I had…but it wasn't enough." Roxas groans when Ginga walks up to Roxas.

"That was tough Roxas, I didn't expect you to have your own special move as well." Ginga said.

"I'm not really sure what happened. I just didn't wanna be useless and it's like Driger responded to me." Roxas said picking up his Beyblade.

"That's what can happen if you develop a strong connection with you bey. With a little more practice and training you might even beat me and Pegasus someday." Ginga smiles.

"Seriously?" Roxas asks.

"Truth is you're right. Pegasus and I can't do all the fighting. I need someone who can watch my back and help me out when things get tough, so what do you say Roxas? Partners?" Ginga asks holding out his hand.

"Partners." Roxas smiles shaking his hand as the two bladers officially became a team.

That night at the Face Hunter's warehouse, Benkei and the others walked back after a crushing defeat from Doji.

"Talk about a losing streak. I can't believe Kyoya lost to that guy too." Benkei sighs sitting down.

"And who knows where Kyoya is at this point now." A Face Hunter said.

"What are we supposed to do now Benkei?" Another asks.

"There's nothing to do, Kyoya lost the battle so he had no choice but to listen to that guy. We just have to wait for him to contact us." Benkei said.

"I guess so." One sighs.

'But I'd still like to know where he took Kyoya.' Benkei thought.

Laying in his bed, Roxas was holding Driger as if he was trying to find something.

'How did you do that? I needed a way to fight back and you gave me a special move.' Roxas thought when some moonlight shined off Driger so Roxas could see the face bolt. 'I guess you're a little like me. In a fight, neither of us wants to back down.'

Putting his Beyblade down, Roxas goes to sleep ready to finally step up as a beyblader.
