Song Of Hope: So far, people have been pretty nice and supportive of me rewriting Ai Minasan, and I'm really glad for that. I thank everyone who has supported Ai Minasan the entire way through. In fact, I put up a chapter on it showing my thanks. Go read it. And read this too, while you're at it. R&R
"3-! 2-! 1-! Let it rip!"
"Come on Pegasis!"
"Go Andromeda!" Ai and Ginga were fighting in two separate stadiums, both against three Beys each. They easily knocked them out of the stadiums, with the other Bladers amazed. Pegasis and Andromeda returned easily to their owners hands'. One of the Bladers behind Ginga was amazed.
"Wow, awesome!" Another one behind Ai nodded.
"So sweet!" One of them, the large boy that had been with Kenta at the tournament the other day, turned towards Kenta.
"Yo Kenta, where did you meet such amazing Bladers?" The tall boy who had been with Kenta the other day nodded.
"They're so skilled, they just sent three Beys flying at the same time each!" Kenta smiled.
"If you think that was wicked, just wait, because Ginga and Ai are strong enough to beat all the Face Hunters at once!" The large boy was very surprised.
"Whoa, what, are you serious?!" And average sized boy was equally as shocked.
"You've gotta be kidding!" They crowded around the two.
"You guy took on all the Face Hunters?"
"Please, teach me!"
"I wanna know!" Ginga was trying to keep them from maiming him, but Ai was freaking out and breathing heavily. She was also sweating, and her heart was pounding in her head very fast.
"Too…cramped…can't…breathe!" Ginga heard that and got loud enough so everyone could hear him and actually listen to him.
"Hey guys, back off! You're making her uncomfortable! She's claustrophobic!" Everybody started backing up from her. She sighed in relief and looked towards Ginga.
"Thanks." She smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. I usually try to avoid these situations, but I didn't want to disappoint anyone." She smiled confidently. "Now, the first and most important thing about Beyblade is having fun." They all got really excited and crowded around her again, talking about how they wanted to have fun. Ginga shouted.
"Hey! Back off! She can't breathe when people are like that!" From not far away, a young girl with brown hair, and aqua eyes was watching. She wore a short pink jacket with yellow buttons over a white shirt with a blue "B" on it, a brown belt that is around it with gold buttons and a pink and gold pouch, orange fingerless gloves, a short dark blue skirt with long white socks that reached up to her thigh with a pink trim, and pink boots with golden buttons.
From outside, the sounds of battle could be heard. Kyoya' voice seemed maniacal.
"Next! Next! What's the problem? Why are you stopping?" He started getting mad. "I must fight now!" The other Face Hunters looked exhausted.
"But Kyoya, we need a break! We've been battling all night!" Benkei nodded.
"Ow! Aw man, my carpal tunnel's acting up!" The Face Hunter next to him nodded.
"Yeah, his wrist is just hanging there. It's gross." Kyoya just laughed.
"Prepare to battle! I'm not pumped enough yet." They all got their Beys and their Launchers. They launched their Beys. Kyoya got excited.
"Unleash Rock Leone! Let it rip!" He pulled on his drawstring Launcher and sent out his Leone. Winds surrounded it, blowing everything around. He laughed. "This is so awesome! It's been way too long since an opponent worthy of my skills, other than Naga, has shown up! Perk up ladies! We're just getting started!" His Bey blew away all the other Beys, and the Face hunters he was battling. "Heads up Ginga Hagane! I, Kyoya Tategami, am going to crush you like the little bug that you are," he summoned his Leone back to his hand, "with this Leone that is." He looked at his Bey as he laughed.
Kenta sighed in contentment.
"That was fun!" Ginga nodded.
"Now that's Beyblading! It was great to be battling again just for fun!" Ai nodded.
"Yeah. The last town I was in, all I did was battle bullies. I managed to get them to see the true meaning of Beyblade, though. But today was a lot of fun." She sighed. "As long as people weren't crowding around me." Kenta smiled.
"That's good. I'm just really glad that you guys got to see Bey Park." Ginga nodded.
"For sure." Ai nodded.
"Me too. Thanks!" Kenta was still smiling.
"So, do you get it now guys? Now you know there aren't only Face Hunters and Energy Amazons around here. There are good guys like me and my friends." Ginga nodded.
"Yeah, I have to say, this town isn't so bad after all." Ai nodded.
"It's actually pretty nice here, if you ignore the big bullies." Kenta sat up in surprise.
"Huh? So you mean that-?" Ginga sat up.
"Yep! I've decided to stick around here for a little while." Ai smiled and sat up as well.
"Me too. It'd be nice to stay here for a little bit longer." Kenta was really excited.
"You both have?! Great!" Ginga nodded.
"Yeah. I've also found a really strong opponent here was well." Kenta was a bit shocked, while Ai looked at the ground, a bit disappointed. They all remembered meeting Kyoya, and his direct challenge to Ginga, as well as his statements about Ai. Kenta, though, looked worried.
"Ginga, uh, do you think that you should?" Ginga looked confused.
"Should what?" Kenta stood up in shock.
"Uh, fight Kyoya?! He's the leader of the Face Hunters, and the strongest Blader they have! But once his Leone starts spinning, he doesn't stop until an opponent is completely destroyed!" Kenta thought about all the horrible things he had heard about Kyoya. "They say Kyoya's Leone is like a wild animal enjoying the hunt!" Kenta thought about Leone. "If something bad were to happen while you fought Kyoya, I don't…" Kenta could even finish. Ginga smiled at him.
"Look Kenta, I'm traveling so that I can find opponents like that. I really need the challenge."
"But-" Ginga pulled out his Pegasis.
"It's okay. No matter who I battle, as long as I've got Pegasis, I like my chances. Right Pegasis?" Ai smiled and nodded, pulling out Andromeda.
"I feel the same about me and Andromeda." Ai stopped smiling and looked at her Bey. "But why did Kyoya single out Ginga? He's always been just a tiny bit stronger than me, but has his strength really grown that much faster than mine? Or does he just have more heart than me, and a bigger spirit?" She sighed. "Well Andromeda, let's show this town what we're made of! Okay Andromeda?" Suddenly, that girl popped up.
"Pegasis and Andromeda, the poor things!" They all freaked out. Kenta was mildly shocked.
"Don't, don't do that!" The girl had a sad look on her face.
"The poor things." They were all confused.
"Poor things?" She pulled a small laptop out of a bag she had.
"I'll check them out." A red light lit up on the back of the screen. On the front of the screen, it showed all three, but then it cut out Kenta and showed just Ginga and Ai, before showing only their skeletons and their Beys. Then, it went to just their Beys. "Mm hm, just as I thought! For Pegasis, several joints are showing some wear, you following me? This will cause a slight calculation error in its overall balance, ya following?" They all went behind the mystery girl to look at the screen. "Its resistance to strong attacks is reduced by .7%, still with me? With Andromeda, there's even more wear, and its resistance to strong attacks has been dropped by a whole 1%, still following?" Ginga nodded.
"Yeah, I guess so." Ai nodded.
"I think I've got it." Mystery girl kept talking.
"Also, look here. You can't see it with the naked eye, but the surface of both of their Fusion Wheels are covered in so many scratches! There's twice as many on Andromeda's than there are on Pegasis's! It would be a crime just to leave them like this! You see?" Kenta was surprised.
"Whoa! She's right!" Ginga held up his Bey.
"So by 'poor things' you were talking about Pegasis and Andromeda?" Ai was surprised.
"Is Andromeda really that damaged?" Mystery girl nodded.
"Yeah! It's the same on the old and new parts! Recently, you guys haven't been battling just one or two opponents, have you? Just how many opponents have you been battling at once?" Ginga looked lost.
"Um, I didn't count." Ai rolled her eyes.
"Ginga, it was called a 100 Bey Battle. Obviously, we both battled 100 Beys at the same time." She realized her mistake at saying that all too late. The girl looked really mad.
"What?! You've been putting your Bey at that much risk by battling 100 Beys at the same time?!" She calmed down slightly, but was still passionate about it. "You can't ignore all this just because they're shallow scratches! Have I lost ya? When the scratches meet with wind resistance, it can't retain its original rotation or speed! Therefore, I will treat their injuries." She smiled. "Until then, no battling, okay?" Ginga and Ai looked bewildered. Ginga spoke up first.
"Okay, who are you anyway?" Ai nodded.
"Ye-yeah."
They all walked into a store called the B-Pit.
"We're here, come on in!" Kenta was amazed at all of the Beys.
"Wow, awesome! Look at the Beys! These are top of the line!" The mystery girl smiled.
"This part is my dad's store." Ai smiled as she looked at the Beys.
"Nice. I thought that the Cyclone Fusion Wheel wasn't coming out for another two months!" The mystery girl was a bit surprised.
"Yeah, but my dad is friends with someone high up in the BP Inc. How would you know about it." Ai smiled mischievously.
"Oh, a girl has her ways." They went downstairs.
"Well, okay then, I use the basement as my Beyblade workshop area." Kenta sounded curious.
"So, does that mean you're a Blader too?" She smiled.
"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?" Kenta nodded.
"Sure thing. It's all good." The mystery girl smiled.
"Alright then. Just take a seat, because I am going to thoroughly exam Pegasis and Andromeda." She held out both of her hands to the two Bladers. "Ah hem!" Ginga looked at her hand.
"Huh?" He started blathering incoherently. She frowned at him.
"Come on! I'm not debating with you! There might be only minor damage now, but if you don't deal with it, it could be very serious! This is for Pegasis' own good," she looked towards Ai, "and Andromeda's as well!"
"For Pegasis?" Ginga thought about that. "I guess, if I think about it, Pegasis has been through a lot lately. It's been battle after battle. I mean, she may be right." At the same time, something else was going through Ai's head.
"This girl said herself that Andromeda was far more damaged than Pegasis. Maybe that's why Ginga's gotten so much better than me. Not to mention, Andromeda has been through a lot. I mean, there was that thing in Kyoto where I had to face over 200 Bladers! It wasn't fun, and that could've severely hurt her. And even though heart is how you win, you can exactly go against science, and if science is what's making Andromeda weaker, then science can fix that problem." Both of them dropped their packs. Ginga handed over Pegasis.
"I agree. But be gentle, uh, um," she smiled.
"Madoka. Madoka Amano." She looked over at Ai. "And how about you?" Ai smiled and pulled out Heart Andromeda.
"Same here. Andromeda needs help." She handed over Andromeda. Madoka put Pegasis in a machine first. It scanned the Bey with a blue light. The Bey showed up on a computer screen, showing all of the damage. Madoka was surprised.
"It's more serious than I thought." Ginga looked concerned.
"Good serious or bad serious?" She took out Pegasis and replaced it with Andromeda.
"Just serious. It's not just the cracks! There's a lot of debris stuck inside! Now, let's look at Andromeda." She scanned Andromeda. "Looks like with debris, it's not as bad. There doesn't seem to be any debris stuck anywhere but in the Performance Tip. In fact, in that retrospect, I'd say Pegasis is the more damaged one, since debris causes far more problems than scratches." Ai's heart dropped into her stomach. The darkness of her shock was all around her.
"Wh-what?" Madoka nodded.
"Yeah. Because of that, I'll treat Pegasis first." Ai nodded, still looking depressed.
"Yeah, go on ahead." Madoka took Pegasis apart.
"Looks like you've been going around, are you following me?" A machine came towards Madoka from the ceiling. Kenta and Ginga were amazed as Madoka took out a small tool with a chord attached to it. She used it to blow air through it that took out the debris.
"But how can debris be worse than scratches?" Ai nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, yeah, how is that possible?!"
"With sand, dust, cloth, and fibers, the weight and quality differs, so the balance declines, get it? Scratches only slow it down, but debris makes it wobble faster, and wobbling itself will cause slowing down, so sowing down plus wobbling means a faster loss." Ai got depressed again.
"I get it." Kenta looked confused.
"I don't think I do."
"If water were to get into a tiny crack and then freeze, it would expand and damage the frame." She put the tool back and grabbed another one that looked like a sander. "If sand enters a joint, then every time it spins, it rubs against and scratches the Bey's insides, like when you swallow a toothpick whole, savvy?" Ginga nodded.
"Yeah, savvy."
"You guys, everyone always focuses so much on the battle, they forget to stop and think about their own precious Beyblade." Ginga nodded.
"Right." She put that tool back.
"When I see something like that, I just can't leave it alone." She turned towards them. "This is gonna take longer than I thought. Pegasis and Andromeda are gonna have to stay here night." Ginga and Ai were shocked. Ai was so shocked that she snapped out of her depression.
"WHAT?!" Madoka raised an eyebrow.
"Is that a problem?" Ginga got embarrassed.
"No, no, of course not! It's not like we're married, or anything like that! We can spend one night apart." Ai nodded, also embarrassed.
"Yeah, that's right! And it's not like we're joined at the hip!" Madoka smiled.
"You heard them both! Let's do this!" Ginga nodded.
"Alright then. Go ahead." He settled himself on the couch. Madoka looked a bit confused.
"Huh?" Ginga looked at her, still smiling.
"Okay, married or not, Pegasis is my partner, and where Pegasis goes, I go." Ai shook her head, smiling with her hands on her hips.
"That's just like you. Then again, that's just like me, but not tonight." She stopped shaking her head, but was still smiling. "I'd love to spend the night, but my dad, who's been super supportive of me traveling around the country, booked a hotel room for me when I got here. He was pretty mad that I didn't use it the other night, so I've gotta go so he doesn't waste his money for another night, since the hotel he booked was non-refundable. But Ginga, I'm not surprised that he's staying here. But," she got serious and scary, "if I find out you did anything bad to Andromeda, staying up late will be the least of your worries." Ginga and Kenta got pretty freaked, but Madoka just smiled.
"Okay then. I guess it really doesn't matter." Ai nodded. She took out a slip of paper and a pen.
"Here's my cell number. Don't misuse it." She left the paper on the desk and walked out. Kenta turned to Madoka.
"Hey, Madoka, when you finish working on Ginga's Pegasis and Ai's Andromeda," he held up his Bey, "will you look at my Sagittario?" Madoka smiled.
"Yeah, no problem." Kenta cheered.
"Yeah! That's great, right Sagittario?!" Ginga noticed something glinting on the desk, and got up, walking towards it. As he got closer, he saw that there were three people in the photograph. Madoka when she was 10, a girl that was about 12 with brown hair and hazel eyes, and a boy with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. They were all giving each other bunny ears and laughing.
"Hey Madoka, who're those people." Madoka freaked and slammed down the frame.
"None of your business! We've only just met! Besides, they're no one important anyway." She turned towards Kenta. "You should be getting home. It's getting late. And you," she said, turning towards Ginga, "should learn how to mind your own business!" She glared at him, and Ginga looked a bit scared.
"Man, you can be really scary!"
Madoka was still working on Pegasis and Andromeda. She was doing repairs simultaneously, using the tools for certain jobs on both of them before moving onto the next job. Ginga was watching Madoka continually fixing the Beys.
"I can't believe she's staying up this late for Pegasis and Andromeda. Yep, being a Blader isn't just about battling. It's more than that. Madoka is also a great Blader." Suddenly, Madoka freaked out.
"What?! Is that a booger?! Aw, gross!" Suddenly, she heard Ginga snoring. She turned towards him and smiled. He was talking about Pegasis in his sleep.
Madoka was yawning.
"Alright, maintenance complete, at least for Andromeda. Now, as for Pegasis, I just have to adjust the balance *yawn* and I'll be done." She yawned and then laid her head down on the desk.
Kenta was running towards the B-Pit eagerly and excitedly. He was holding Sagittario in his hand.
"I wonder if Madoka's done fixing up Pegasis and Andromeda yet," he looked at his Bey, "cause next it's your turn Sagittario!" He was giggling in excitement until someone stuck out their foot, making Kenta let go of Sagittario and fall on his face. Benkei caught Sagittario. Beside him were two other face hunters, the same two that were by Benkei's side when Kenta first met him. Benkei laughed.
"Ha, this guy really is a klutz!" Kenta stood up and turned around.
"Wh-what are you doing?!" He charged towards Benkei. "Give me back my Sagittario you Bey stealing monster!" Benkei held out his hand and kept Kenta from going any further.
"If you want it back, go and bring Ginga to Metal Tower, got it?!" He pushed Kenta away.
"Couldn't you just ask?!" The Face hunter to Benkei's left sniggered.
"If you don't bring him-" Benkei finished.
"You can say Bye-Bye to your Bey-Bey!" They ran off. Kenta ran after them.
"Wait, that's mine! Give me back my Sagittario!" He tripped and fell on his chin and knee. He couldn't get up. "SAGITTARIO!"
"Are you serious?! They took Sagittario?! Those Face Hunters, they're really starting to bug me!" Kenta was talking about it to Madoka and Ginga. Madoka was patching him up, because he had scraped his chin and his knee.
"So, what am I gonna do Ginga? Ow!" Madoka frowned at him.
"Hold still while I put on the bandage!" He stopped moving. Madoka put a bandage on his chin. "There, all better." He looked down at the ground.
"Not without Sagittario." Ginga saw how upset Kenta was and made up his mind.
"That's it! I'm not hiding! Where is this Metal Tower?" Kenta perked up, knowing that Ginga could win.
"I'm coming with you! This way!" He started running. Ginga grabbed Pegasis off the desk and started following Kenta, but Madoka protested.
"Hold on!" They both stopped. Ginga turned around to face her.
"Wha?"
"I still haven't finished Pegasis's maintenance yet, kay? We still have to fine tune its balance." She grabbed the slip of paper. "I'll call Ai. Andromeda's completely repaired, so she can go and-"
"No! We can't send Ai. It's not because she isn't strong enough, but if she goes in my place, then we'll be putting Kenta's Sagittario in danger, and I can't do that. You can call her, but I'm still going!" He turned towards Kenta. "Mount up Kenta." Kenta nodded.
"Right!" They both ran out before Madoka could say another word. She got mad and grabbed a blue phone, dialing Ai's number while running after them.
"Oh, boys!"
Ai's phone started ringing. It was on a nightstand next to her bed. She was staying in either a four or five star hotel sweet. Her hair didn't have the bow, and two very long pieces of hair were by her ears. She partially woke up, but was still have asleep as she grouped around the nightstand, looking for the phone. When she grabbed it, she answered, but still looked very tired.
"Hello?'
"Ai, are you half asleep?" She weakly nodded. "You've gotta wake up!" Madoka explained the situation, and Ai shot up, the blanket falling down and revealing her white spaghetti strapped shirt.
"WHAT?! I'm on my way! Wait, you left Andromeda at the B-Pit? No, it's fine, don't turn around! I'll grab her myself! Just keep Ginga from doing something stupid and make sure nothing happens to Sagittario!"
They entered from a set of double doors. The wind was blowing very hard, and they shielded their eyes.
"What a pleasant surprise Ginga Hagane!" Benkei was there with all the other Face hunters. Ginga growled.
"Face Hunters!" Kenta was still upset.
"Give me back my Sagittario!" Benkei held it out.
"Sure, just as soon as he beats Kyoya in a battle! No big deal, right?" Ginga was getting mad.
"Any day of the week buddy, no problem! Where's he hiding, behind your skirt?!"
"Yo Ginga, your worst nightmare is right here!" The Face Hunters separated, and Kyoya walked forward. "I can handle someone like you easily. But can you handle it?" he held out his Rock Leone. "Let's do this right now!" Ginga got out Pegasis, but Madoka came through the doors.
"Wait! You can't!" They looked at her. "Pegasis still isn't battle ready yet! If you battle now, he may never recover! What do you plan to do if something bad happens to Pegasis?! I called Ai, and she should be here soon! She can battle instead! Andromeda's completely fixed, and doesn't run the risk of permanent damage! Let her do it!" Kyoya heard this and was angered.
"I don't want to battle Ai! I want to battle the strongest opponents that come my way, and that's Ginga and his Pegasis!" He pointed towards the edge of the building. "I will only fight Ginga, and no one else!" Benkei was holding Sagittario off the edge of the building.
"Yoo hoo!" He started laughing. "If you don't fight, I'll drop the Bey! Say Bye-Bye to your Bey-Bey!" Kenta had tears in his eyes.
"Come on! Don't do it!" In Kenta's mind, he imagined Benkei dropping his Sagittario, and it shattering to pieces. He ran over towards Benkei without getting onto the elevated platform. "What's wrong with you?! STOP IT!" Kyoya smirked.
"So then, what'll you do? Will you back down and have someone else fight in your place, or will you face me like a man?" Ginga looked at his Bey.
"I'm sorry Pegasis! Please do your best, just for this one battle!" Madoka took a step towards him.
"Ginga!" He looked at her.
"Pegasis is everything to me, and Sagittario is everything to Kenta. I have to save it! And besides," he looked at Kyoya, "there's just no way I can run away from a challenge to a one on one battle, or let someone else do it for me! The spirit of my Bey is shouting "FIGHT HIM"!" Kyoya sniggered at that.
"What's the spirit of the Bey gonna say when I crush you into little pieces? It won't be shouting then, will it?" Ginga growled at him. Madoka shook her head.
"For the record, I advise you that Pegasis is still not at 100% but Andromeda is! Oh, never mind!" They all stepped up onto the stadium platform, with Benkei still holding Sagittario over the edge. Ginga and Kyoya were both in positions ready to fight. Kyoya put Leone in its Launcher.
"Okay, 3-!" Ginga put Pegasis in its Launcher.
"2-!"
"1-!"
"LET IT RIP!" They both launched their Beys. Leone went straight to the middle while Pegasis circled around it. Madoka looked around.
"Oh, where is Ai?!"
Ai was running, trying to tie her bow in her hair and eat a muffin and the same time, while constantly lifting up her knee because she hadn't tightened her belt all the way because she was in such a rush.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!"
Kenta was looking at the battle.
"Hm, Leone isn't attacking Pegasis! What's he got up his sleeve?" Madoka got out her computer.
"Let me check it out Kenta. The Performance Tip is a Wide Ball, Defensive Power 800, Centrifugal Force 300. It seems that Bey is an ideal Defense Type Kenta. He's got confidence in its repelling capability, follow? Kenta nodded.
"Yeah, but you can't win if you don't ever attack then, right?" Madoka gave a concerned look to the battle.
"Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this." Kyoya smirked at Ginga.
"Well, what's wrong Ginga? Come on then!" Ginga looked down at the battle, thinking of his strategy.
"Not yet. Gotta speed up rotation!" Suddenly, he acted. "NOW! GO PEGASIS!" Pegasis headed straight for Leone. Kyoya smirked, as if putting Ginga in a trap.
"That's right, come to Papa." Pegasis was directly repelled.
"Huh? Repelled?" Pegasis just barely landed back in the stadium. Kenta was shocked.
"Ginga's attack had no affect!" Ginga shouted down to his Bey.
"Come on Pegasis, once more!" Pegasis went back in for an attack, but was once again repelled. "What just happened?" Kyoya laughed evilly.
"You ain't seen nothing yet! ROAR LEONE!" The wind suddenly grew much stronger in the stadium, nearly sending Pegasis out of the stadium, but he just barely landed back in.
"Made it! What was that?" Kenta looked very confused and concerned for his friend.
"What's happening? How can Pegasis get blown away so easily?" He looked towards Madoka. "Is it because the maintenance wasn't complete?" Madoka analyzed it and was shocked at the results.
"It's not just that. It's the wind!" Kenta's eyes widened in shock and confusion.
"The wind?" Madoka showed him her laptop.
"Yeah, look at this!" The laptop showed a blue screen, simulating the stadium, and white arrows, showing the wind, which was coming in directly towards the stadium and swirling in the center. Then, it showed another diagram from the side in blue with a digital Bey, with white arrows going to the ground and then back up around the Bey, forming what looked like a wall. Kenta understood.
"Oh, I see! Leone is using the strong winds on the top of this humongous tower!" Madoka nodded.
"When Leone spins, it swirls up the wind, creating an invisible wall. See?" Kenta nodded.
"Twisted! He led Ginga into a trap! He picked a location that works to his advantage! He's such a stinker!" Ginga glared at him.
"Why you!" Kyoya laughed.
"Wise up Ginga! 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 fight your purpose! Thinking of ridiculous things like helping a friend and your Bey spirit while forgetting the basics, that's your big mistake!" Ginga was getting mad.
"Ridiculous, huh?" Kyoya sneered.
"Not that that information is going to help you now. Sorry about that." Leone's winds were getting fiercer. "This is Leone's Special Move. LION GALE FORCE WALL!" Suddenly, the winds became much, much stronger. Kenta was freaking out.
"Oh no! Pegasis is being swallowed up by the wind!" Ginga was trying not to get blown away.
"Just hold on! Please hang in there Pegasis! But if I attack, Pegasis could end up losing in a Stadium Out, and if I don't attack, Pegasis will be the one who stops spinning first! There must be another way!" Kyoya started laughing.
"Think all day. The answer's still the same. You're toast!" The wind increased, nearly knocking over Ginga, blowing his scarf off of his neck. Benkei started laughing, still on the edge.
"Some weather we're having. I might not be able to keep a good hold on this Bey!" Ginga kept looking on at the battle.
"I've gotta hang on!" Suddenly, it came to him as he saw his scarf calmly floating in the center, but then when it floated out of the center, it was violently blown far away. Kyoya sneered.
"What's the matter Ginga? Cat got your tongue, cause I've got your Beyblade!"
"Not yet you don't!" Kyoya's eyes widened.
"What was that?!" Madoka and Kenta were shocked. Ginga was still determined.
"It's not over til the last Beyblade spins, and the last time I checked, Pegasus was still spinning!" Pegasis went straight towards Leone. Kyoya laughed.
"You fool! You attack now, then it's over! Now, FINISH IT LEONE!" Pegasis managed to actually hit Leone, but was repelled straight up into the air. Kenta and Madoka cried out.
"NO!" Kyoya started laughing.
"Mister Tough Guy gets defeated in the end by a Stadium Out. So lame!" Kenta started crying.
"I'm so sorry Ginga! Because of me, now your precious Pegasis and my Sagittario, they're, they're-" Ginga just smiled.
"What are you talking about Kenta?" Madoka and Kenta looked confused. "My Pegasis hasn't been beaten yet buddy!" Kyoya looked confused.
"Huh? You're dreaming! Your Bey just got sent flying." Suddenly, he noticed a glimmer in the air. "What?! It can't be! It's Pegasis!" Pegasis came shooting down through the air, heading straight for Leone, surrounded by a blue aura. Ginga was getting fierce.
"GO! PEGASIS STAR BLAST ATTACK!" Pegasis landed right on top of Leone and knocked him out of the stadium. Leone landed behind Kyoya. Ginga smiled and held out his hand, calling back Pegasis. Madoka and Kenta cheered. Kyoya dropped to his knees.
"That is…impossible!" He pounded his fists on the ground. "My plan, flawless, it was a lock! Why?!" It hit him. "Unless, don't tell me, you planned this from the beginning?!" Ginga smiled at him with confidence from a battle well fought and won. "No matter how big a hurricane, the wind is always weak at the eye of the storm." Madoka's eyes widened with realization.
"I get it! It's like this! Ginga let Pegasis get hit into the wind once on purpose so that it could aim itself at Leone's one weak spot from up in the sky." She smiled at him. "Not bad Ginga! Not bad!" The Face hunters were all in shock.
"Did I just see that?" Benkei was in shock.
"No, no way." In his shock, he slowly released Sagittario, until it was falling. Kenta shrieked.
"NO! SAGITTARIO!" Ginga put Pegasis in its Launcher, but a pink light went by his head. Benkei ducked so he wouldn't get hit.
"GO ANDROMEDA!" The pink light went directly for Sagittario. It landed perfectly on the light before return to its owner, which was Ai, who was standing right behind Madoka and Kenta. She was holding the two Beys in one hand, and a white scarf in the other. She smirked at Benkei. "So glad you decided to do the right thing and return this." Ai turned to Ginga and smirked. "Looks like you really did need me. I just leave you alone, can I Ginga?" He smiled and laughed a little with his hand on the back of his neck.
They were all walking back. Kenta was praising them.
"Awesome! That was awesome Ginga! I can't believe you defeated Kyoya in such an epic battle! And Ai, that move of yours was amazing! It saved Sagittario! Thanks to you guys, I was able to get my Sagittario back safely! Thanks so much!" Both of them smiled, although Ginga's was much more goofy.
"Don't thank me, thank Pegasis!" Ai nodded.
"And Andromeda." Madoka glared at Ginga.
"Well, it's fine as along as you won, but you were being so reckless! What would you have done if something had happened to Pegasis?"
"Yeah, but nothing did." Madoka got directly in front of him.
"Luckily! Say you're sorry to Pegasis!"
"Huh?!" She glared at him and gave him a weird growl.
"Hnnnnnnnnnn!" He hurriedly got out Pegasis.
"I-I'm sorry." Madoka smiled.
"Was that so hard? You following me?" Ginga and Kenta looked at each other and laughed. Madoka looked confused. "What's so funny?" Ai sighed and put her hand on Madoka's shoulder.
"They're boys, that's what. Come on, let's get something to eat! All I've eaten is a muffin!"
Kyoya was taking his anger and frustration out on boxes and barrels.
"Impossible! Unbelievable! How could I have actually lost?!" He kicked over a rather large crate. He saw everyone staring at him. "What are you looking at?! Well, what are you looking at?!" He couldn't believe it was his fault, so he started blaming them. "It's all your fault! Next time I'll definitely-"
"Do you want to win against Ginga Hagane?" They were all shocked and confused as they turned towards an open door. Kyoya looked suspicious.
"What's that?" A man started walking towards them, the light washing out his actual appearance.
"Do you want to win? Do you want to become even stronger?" Benkei glared at him.
"And who the heck are you?!"
"How about I grant that wish for you?" Kyoya looked at him, still looking angry.
"What did you say?" The man just started laughing evilly.
Song Of Hope: Well, there's chapter 2! Sorry about the comedic bit in the middle of a serious part, but I thought that it could use a little lightening up right there. Well, R&R
