Ginga came running out of a burger store, holding a bag in excitement. He got in some random kid with an ice cream cone's face.
"I got it! The triple beef burger! You don't know me, but I bet you'd like to because of the triple beef burger I'm carrying!" He started walking away, doing a little dance as he did. "It's the last one! Beef burger, beef burger, beef burger! Kenta and Madoka are gonna have serious beef envy, and Ai's gonna wish she liked burgers more than fancy food!" The little kid had a sweat drop on his forehead.
Benkei was extremely frustrated, making sounds to show how he felt as he practiced with his Bey. He loaded Heat Leone into its Launcher, launching it in frustration. He couldn't stop thinking about Kyoya's battle with Ginga.
"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.
"But that's…impossible!"
Benkei growled as he went to grab his barely spinning Bey.
"Ginga! HAGANE!" He reached down to grab his Bey. He growled as he imagined Ginga in front of him, and launched his Bey directly at him. Of course, he wasn't actually there, so Benkei just launched his Heat Leone at a wall. His Bey bounced behind him as he kept growling. Suddenly, the mystery man's laugh cut through. Benkei, still growling, turned towards it "Y-y-you again?!" The mystery man's frown turned into a malicious smirk. Benkei took a few steps towards him. "What've you done with Kyoya?!" The mystery man's face didn't change.
"Well as you may remember, he lost, so he's keeping up his end of the deal." He thought about where Kyoya was training. "In my special training center, he is learning how to maximize his power. When I deem him ready, he shall return. Then, I shall have him defeat Ginga Hagane." Benkei was getting mad.
"He's not a lab rat!" The mystery man kept smirking.
"Is that so?" He started reaching into his pocket. "Regardless, if you want your little friend back sooner," he pulled his hand out, enclosed over something, "just defeat Ginga Hagane yourself with this." He opened up his hand to reveal a Bey.
"B-b-but that's Dark Bull! That has a rare WBBA standard Fusion Wheel not made by BP Inc, unlike almost every other Fusion Wheel! And that Spin Track, I've never seen it before! How did you get that Spin Track?!" The mystery man gave a simple nod.
"That's correct. The ferocious rampaging bovine Dark Bull is a Beyblade that specializes in Upper Attacks, and, as you said, it has a rare Fusion Wheel not made by the usual company, BP Inc. They thought it was too powerful, but another company managed to make it and push it through the WBBA approval process. However, it wasn't sold in any stores due to them all thinking the same thing as what BP Inc said. As for the Spin Track, it is made by BP Inc, and as for how I got it, let's just say I have my ways." Benkei was in shock.
"And, you're giving it to me?!" The mystery man had an evil, ominous smile on his face.
"Yes." He chuckled. Benkei hesitated, moving his arm back and forth several times until he actually grabbed the Bey. He looked extremely unsure, but then smiled evilly once he had it.
"With this Beyblade, Ginga will be-" the mystery man cut him off.
"Ginga? Who said anything about you battling Ginga first thing?" Benkei looked extremely confused.
"But you just said I should defeat him myself!" The mystery man nodded.
"Yes, that that's only after you defeat a certain heiress. Should you defeat her, then you should be able to defeat Ginga with only a little more training, but be warned. This girl knows any Bey like the back of her hand, even the non-standard parts. She can read its abilities just by looking at it." Benkei raised an eyebrow.
"Um, okay, who is this heiress I'm looking for?" The mystery man smirked evilly.
"The next head of the Minamoto family and the successor to BP Inc," he whispered the name into Benkei's ear. He smirked at the name he heard.
"Is that who she really is? Well then, with Dark Bull, both of them will be history! They will both learn the taste of defeat just as I did!" He thought back to when he had first lost.
Benkei, plus two of the Face Hunters (by nicknames Blue Shirt and Hat Guy), were under a train bridge, and Benkei was holding Kyoya by his coat. Benkei was pissed.
"What'd you just say?! I dare you to say that again! I double dare ya!" Kyoya was smirking.
"I'll say it as many times as I want. It's not my habit to battle weak opponents, alright?" Benkei growled, but one Blue Shirt backed up Benkei.
"There's no way you can win against Benkei!" Hat Guy nodded.
"You're really cruisin' for a Beyblade brusin'!" Kyoya just chuckled. Benkei let go and they got ready for a battle. Kyoya still looked confident in his victory.
"This is your last chance to run buddy!" Benkei looked mad.
"Bite Beyblade bean pole!" He launched his Bey, and Kyoya did the same.
"Benkei, let it rip!" The two Beys clashed fiercely. Blue Shirt and Hat Guy cheered.
"Yeah! You rock Benkei!" He started laughing.
"Not so smug now, eh pal?!" Kyoya had a pleasantly surprised smirk on his face.
"You do have power, but that's all!" Benkei growled.
"We'll see!" Kyoya threw out his arm.
"Attack Leone!" Leone started collecting winds around itself and attacked Benkei's Heat Leone, sending it flying and making it stop spinning. Benkei was in shock.
"My Bey! It was repelled?!" Kyoya smirked and held up his Rock Leone. Then, he turned around.
"See ya."
"Wait!" Curious, he turned around and looked at Benkei. "One, one more time!" Benkei launched his Bey, but Leone beat it in one hit. Benkei's Bey went right past him and cut his coat. He kept battling Kyoya, and ended up with 7 cuts on his jacket from losing to Kyoya. Benkei fell over from exhaustion as Kyoya chuckled to himself. Benkei was still determined. "Not done! I'm not done yet!" Kyoya smirked.
"No matter how many times he falls, he just keeps getting back up!" He held out his Launcher and Bey. "It's like fighting a bull!" Benkei smirked.
"Thanks! I am like a bull!" He put his hand on the ripcord. "And here are my horns!" He launched and kept battling over and over again.
It was sunset, and he still hadn't managed to beat Kyoya once. Benkei was lying down on the ground, his arms spread out. Blue Shirt and Hat Guy spoke in unison.
"That's one tired bull, I mean Benkei." Benkei started getting up into a sitting position. He grabbed his launching arm, which was in pain.
"Ouchie!" Kyoya looked at him straight in the eyes.
"You fought well, very well." Benkei was fully standing.
"One more time!" He got out his Launcher. "One more time!" He got out his Bey. "One more time!" He fell to his knees, his face on the ground. Blue Shirt ran up to him.
"Benkei!" Hat Guy came up to him as well.
"Are you okay?" Benkei burst into laughter, confusing Hat Guy and Blue Shirt.
"You're the first person ever to stop my Beyblade's charge." He looked at Kyoya. "What'd ya know? I-I-I lost. But it feels good!" He looked up at Kyoya, nearly hysterical. "Why does it feel good?! Tell me why!" He was laughing, and Kyoya looked at him like he was an alien.
"What a strange dude." Benkei started getting up.
"I am now your biggest fan! I'm going with ya, even if you say no! I'm gonna follow you!" Kyoya smirked, his eyes closed as he walked away.
"Do whatever you want." Benkei started following him.
"Thanks! Your permission is important!" Benkei was laughing as he followed Kyoya. "I've never met a Blader like you Kyoya! You could teach me so much!"
Benkei was back in reality.
"Please hold on Kyoya!" He held out his Launcher. "Let's go Dark Bull!" He shouted as he launched the red Bey. It started going crazy before it stopped spinning. "Huh? It's like I'm the one being spun around by the Beyblade!" He smiled. "Interesting." He imagined himself fighting a bull, grabbing it by the horns and riding on its back. "Will I be able to master you, or will you throw me off? Let's find out!"
"LET IT RIP!" Kenta was battling Akira, smiling. Madoka was standing right by him.
"This should be good. My Bey is a Stamina Type, and Akira's is an Attack Type." Akira looked excited.
"GO! Keep attacking!" Madoka smiled.
"Hm. Interesting analysis." Kenta smiled, seeing Akira Bey being almost completely drained.
"Alright! Now!" Sagittario attacked Raven several times before knocking it out of the stadium. Akira was disappointed.
"Aw! I lost again!" He put his hand on his face, similar to a face palm. Madoka looked pretty proud.
"Kenta, you're really starting to understand the unique powers of Beyblades!" Kenta laughed a little, but Akira looked extremely confused.
"Unique powers of Beyblades?" Madoka nodded.
"Yeah. It's really important to understand your own Bey. If you do that, you may even be able to win against Ginga." Kenta nodded.
"Yeah! That's why I was able to have a good battle with Ginga before!" Ai came in, holding a shopping bag.
"Hey Madoka, I got you a really cute dress!" She held up a pink dress with a black belt and blue stars on the belt. "Since I know we're the same size, I just tried it on myself, and it fit perfectly, so it should totally fit you too!" She realized Madoka wasn't responding and smiled. "Beyblade talk, huh?" Then, Ginga ran in.
"Listen up everyone! I GOT IT! The triple beef burger!" He was confused on why no one was reacting. "Excuse me?" Ai laughed.
"No one cares about your burger! They're talking Beys right now! Bey beats burgers, hands down." Ginga turned to her.
"But it's the triple beef burger!" She narrowed her eyes at him, but playfully and jokingly.
"So, Ginga, does that mean you think burgers are better than Beys?" He looked shocked, his face blue.
"N-no, I'm just hungry, yeah, that's it!" Everyone else was completely ignoring them. Osamu was asking a question.
"So, there are four types of Beys?" Madoka nodded.
"That's correct! There are! Beyblades have-" Kenta cut her off.
"Let me! There are 4 types, Attack, Balance, Defense, and Stamina." Madoka pulled out her laptop.
"Correct again. An Attack Type Bey focuses on Attack Strength of course, like Ginga's Pegasis, and then there's Balance Types, which have equal in two or more areas, like Ai's Andromeda, which means it doesn't have many weak points, but it also doesn't have any strong points. A Balance Type usually is equal in Attack and Defense, but it can be equal in Attack and Stamina, or Defense and Stamina, or it can be equal in Attack, Defense, and Stamina." Ginga looked in his bag and looked really mad.
"Huh?! A hot dog?! NO!" Ai laughed.
"You didn't even bother checking the bag! That is so like you!" Madoka kept talking.
"Defense Type Beys are really able to withstand an attack. You catch my drift?" Ginga had the hotdog in his mouth.
"The guy at the counter must've mad a mistake!" Ai was still laughing.
"You just figured that out?" He looked at her, still mad.
"Yeah, so what?!" He looked back at the bag and got even madder. "He forgot the fries too!" Ai was rolling on the floor in laughter.
"Oh my goodness! I can't breathe! This is too funny! You forgot to check to make sure you had the right order, and you didn't even get your fries!" Madoka was still talking.
"Lastly, there's Stamina Type. This Bey sustains power, so it can spin all day and night and reach the whole stadium." Kenta nodded and held up his Bey.
"Like my Sagittario!" Madoka nodded.
"That's right." People were looking at their Beys and saying what their types were. Ai slowly stopped laughing as they kept saying things, and Ginga ate his hotdog. Both of them were smiling. Ai looked at Ginga.
"Remember when we were that young and that enthusiastic about Beyblade?" He smirked and put his fist on his chest.
"What'd ya mean? I'm still that enthusiastic! I'll shout it from the rooftops, 'I love Beyblade, I love Beyblade'!" A sweat drop appeared on her forehead.
"You're apparently that childish too." Akira started talking.
"So, mine is an Attack Type. It has attack power, but not stamina, so that means Kenta's Stamina time waited without attacking for my stamina to wear out!" Kenta laughed a little.
"Yep, that's right!" Ginga popped up by them.
"True that!" Ai popped up by them as well.
"Can't do anything in Beyblade without a basic understanding about Beyblades themselves." Ginga nodded, closing his eyes and putting his hand on his heart.
"But, even more important than that is learning about the core of a Beyblade." Ai nodded, mimicking Ginga's position.
"You can't do anything without using heart." Madoka nodded.
"And you can't forget good maintenance." Ginga nodded.
"That's right, but a having heart that loves Beyblading makes a Beyblader stronger." Ai nodded.
"And loving your Beyblade itself makes you and your Bey even stronger!" She held up Andromeda. "I love my Beyblade, Andromeda, more than anything else in the world! We're an amazing duo, right Andromeda?" They looked at Ginga and Ai in amazement. They then all started getting excited.
Benkei had his Beyblade ready with 10 of the Face Hunters ready. They all launched their Beys.
"LET IT RIP!" Benkei launched Dark Bull.
"LET IT RIP!" It started going at the Beys, attacking them one by one. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!" He cheered, imagining himself as a cowboy who had just tamed a bull. "Yes! I've mastered it!" One of the Face Hunters looked really scared.
"Benkei, enough." One of the others nodded.
"Yeah, you've mastered it. That's enough." Benkei was getting really scary.
"I'll say when it's enough, and it's not enough! Did you hear me?! It's not enough! In order for me to win against her, I need all the training I can get! She knows Beys like the back of her hand from the instant she sees them, and it goes along with being the future CEO of BP Inc, understand me! You can do better than that! My bull block won't stop! Ba-bull block! Bull block! Bull block! Bull block!" He imagined attacking Ginga. "Bull block! BULL UPPERCUT!" Ginga disappeared, and Dark Bull put a hole through the wall in the shape of a bullhead. He started walking towards it. "Bull! Bull! Bull! BA-BA-BA-BA-BULL!"
Madoka was sitting on a park bench, wearing that new dress that Ai had found for her (she had been forced to wear it). Her hair was also brushed back, and a she had a black headband with blue stars on it in her hair. She looked quite fashionable as she happily typed about something. Osamu, Takashi, and Akira were battling with Kenta in a small stadium. Takashi looked excited.
"One day, I wanna become Blader, like Ginga or Ai!" Osamu smirked.
"Good luck! Better start practicing…a lot!" Akira tried to act like Ginga.
"Having a heart that loves Beyblading makes a Beyblader stronger!" Takashi laughed a little.
"Is that your Ginga?" Osamu smiled.
"Not even close! Maybe you should try Ai!" He made his voice high. "Loving your Beyblade itself makes you and your Bey even stronger!" Akira shook his head, smiling.
"You're worse than me!" They all laughed. Kenta smiled and held up his Sagittario.
"Beyblading is the best."
"BA-BA-BA-BULL!" They were all scared as Benkei stomped on the ground. He had Blue Shirt, Hat Guy, Dew Rag, and Short Dude with him.
"Benkei!" Kenta tried to be brave as he walked up to them.
"Wh-what do you want from us?" It was extremely obvious that he was still scared. He was shaking. Benkei smirked.
"Do you need to go to the bathroom kid?" Kenta kept trying to be brave.
"So what if I do?"
"BULL!" Kenta screamed a little and flinched. "My business ain't with you kid!" Kenta looked confused.
"Huh? It isn't?" Benkei was still smirking.
"Come with your friends to the Old Warehouse District. Don't go to the new one, and don't bring those guys," he said, pointing at Osamu, Takashi, and Akira, "but your strong friends!"
Madoka (who had taken the time to change into her normal outfit), Kenta, Ai, and Ginga were all in the graffiti littered Warehouse District. Madoka was scared.
"My advice, we turn around and don't have anything more to do with those guys." Kenta nodded.
"I agree. It's not like they have anything over our heads to force us to be here anyway!" Ginga shook his head.
"If we didn't show up, then they'd come looking for us. They mean business." Madoka nodded.
"That's true, but-" Ai cut her off.
"They might take Sagittario again!" Ginga nodded.
"And then they might come after you next Madoka." Madoka freaked out.
"WHAT?!" Ginga smiled.
"Relax, I'm just kidding!" Madoka calmed down.
"Yeah, but I'm not laughing." Kenta noticed something and pointed at it.
"Hey, look at that!" They looked at a crate high up on a stack with a bullhead shaped hole it in. Bananas fell out and they scared Madoka, but when she noticed what they were, she calmed down. Ginga just looked at the weirdly.
"They're bananas." Ai looked at the hole.
"But look at the hole they came from." Kenta nodded.
"That's what I meant!" They looked at it. Madoka decided to state the obvious.
"That's…a big hole." Ginga looked suspiciously at it, but Ai was analyzing it with her eyes. They kept walking, and holes like it were everywhere. Kenta noticed.
"There's another one!" Madoka nodded.
"What is going on with all these holes?!" Ai was thinking to herself.
"There's only one Spin Track that can do this, but it hasn't even been released! As far as I know, it's still in development and all of its abilities aren't known yet! Who could get a hold of such an advanced Spin Track?!" Benkei saw them coming.
"I'll defeat you, then I'll defeat Ginga and get Kyoya back! Come on!" Suddenly, Ai and Ginga stopped. Madoka looked concerned.
"What is it?" Kenta looked up at them.
"Uh, Ginga?" Ginga looked towards Ai.
"Do you hear that?" She nodded.
"Yeah, I hear it." They both thought the same thing in their heads.
"The cry of a Beyblade." Suddenly, a Bey came out of a wall, leaving a bullhead shaped hole. It landed in front of them. Madoka was amazed.
"What power!" Ai's eyes widened and then narrowed angrily as she looked at the Bey.
"I knew it! It's the new Spin Track! But, it has the rejected Dark Fusion Wheel! Who has the ability to get those parts?!" Ginga just looked at the hole.
"That hole! So it's true! It was made by a Beyblade! Talk about an awesome force!" It hopped around and then sped off somewhere. Ginga and Ai started going after it. Madoka called after them.
"Guys, don't go!" Kenta called after them.
"Hey, wait up!" They started calling after them. Ginga and Ai followed it into an empty warehouse. Ginga opened the door and they both went in. Ginga looked around, and so did Ai, but Ginga looked at Ai after a little bit.
"I saw a reaction on your face. It wasn't how you normally react to Beyblades. What's wrong with the one you saw?" She kept looking around for the mystery Bey.
"That Bey was a Dark BullH145SD, but the Dark Fusion Wheel was originally made by BP Inc. It was too powerful, so the idea and the Fusion Wheel designs were thrown away. The H145 Spin Track is still under development. And hasn't been released yet because it's unpredictable, and it can go out of control. Beta Testers for that Spin Track have gotten hurt by their own Beys. Even I don't know everything it can do just yet." Madoka and Kenta came in closely behind them. Suddenly, they heard Benkei chuckling. They Bey returned to his hand.
"Very good. You understand your situation. But, that kind of information is expected from the heiress and future CEO of Beyblade Parts Incorporated, aren't you Ai Minasan?" He stepped out of the shadows, chuckling darkly. "Or, should I call you Ai Minamoto? That is your real name after all, isn't it?" Madoka and Kenta were in shock. Madoka looked at Ai.
"You're the daughter of Hiroto Minamoto, the CEO of BP Inc?" Ai glared at him.
"How did you find out? And who gave you those parts?! The Dark Fusion Wheel is too powerful for competitive use, and that Spin Track is still in development, and therefore, it's illegal to use!" Benkei laughed.
"A little birdie told me, and that same little birdie gave me this new Bey, including these parts." Kenta looked at her.
"Why didn't you tell us?" She didn't stop looking at Benkei as she answered his question.
"It's hard sometimes to tell if people are friend because of me or who my father is, so I don't tell people my real last name. I'm sorry for lying, but that's the truth. I'm not Ai Minasan." She took a step forward, standing proudly. "I'm Ai Minamoto, the heiress to BP Inc, and the proud only child of Aiko and Hiroto Minamoto! On behalf of my father's company, I will defeat you Benkei Hanawa!" Madoka figured it out.
"That's why you're always shopping! You love clothes, and you don't really need to worry about money because you're rich!" Kenta looked at Ginga.
"Did you know about this?" He nodded, looking at Kenta.
"Well, yeah, we've known each other since we were kids. I really don't blame her for what she does though. It's not like people haven't pretended to be her friend before." Benkei started getting mad.
"I'M RIGHT HERE!" The all turned towards him. Madoka and Kenta freaked out, hiding behind Ginga and Ai. Ginga started glaring at him.
"Right. Back on subject. So, you made the bull shaped holes!" Benkei smirked, stepping forward.
"That's right! They were made while training to defeat my opponent!" He looked towards Ai. "Ai Minamoto, no matter what, you're going down!" She looked excited.
"Really? Me? You want to battle me? You don't want to battle Ginga?!" Benkei had a sweat drop on his forehead.
"Um, yeah." She jumped up and down in excitement.
"Alright!" Ginga pouted.
"But this looks like an awesome battle! Are you sure I can't battle instead?!" Ai was still happy.
"Nope, you heard him! He wants to battle me, not you!" Benkei's sweat drop got bigger.
"These are the guys who beat 100 Face Hunters, and Ginga actually managed to beat Kyoya like this? This has got to be a joke." He shouted. "HEY, STOP IT! I WANT TO BATTLE NOW!" Ginga kept pouting, but Ai got serious.
"Alright then! I accept your challenge! Let's battle!" She got out her Launcher, her Launcher Grip, her Bey Pointer, and Heart Andromeda. Benkei put his Dark Bull into its Launcher. When Ginga saw it was getting serious, he put his hands on Madoka and Kenta's shoulder.
"We should take shelter. This looks like it'll be a serious battle." They nodded and went in between some crates.
"3-! 2-! 1-! LET IT RIP!" They both launched their Beys. They started chasing each other in a circle.
"GO ANDROMEDA!"
"HIT HER HARD DARK BULL!" Madoka pulled out her laptop. Kenta looked amazed.
"I've never seen this Beyblade before!"
"Dark Bull. It appears to be a Balance Type Beyblade. Fascinating." Kenta looked worried.
"But Andromeda is a Balance Type too!" Ginga nodded.
"That means that they're well suited to battle each other." Andromeda and Bull were attacking each other. They were both staying in the same place, until Andromeda started getting pushed back by Dark Bull. Kenta was shocked.
"Andromeda is getting pushed back?!" Madoka nodded.
"Look at this. Benkei has a larger mass than Ai, and so, when he launches, he puts far more initial power behind his Bey than Ai can!" Ginga nodded.
"I see." Kenta was still shocked.
"But, but-!" Kenta thought of earlier, when Ai had talked about Beyblade.
"Loving your Beyblade itself makes you and your Bey even stronger!" She held up Andromeda. "I love my Beyblade, Andromeda, more than anything else in the world!"
He smiled.
"Ai, she can't lose!" Ginga smiled and nodded.
"That's right!" Ai smirked.
"Okay, let's do this! GO ANDROMEDA!" It was as if the symbol of Andromeda's Face bolt pulsed behind her. Andromeda started pushing Dark Bull back. Benkei was shocked, but he smirked.
"Not too bad!" Ai smiled.
"You either!" She became serious. "But, as the daughter of Hiroto Minasan, I have to ask you, where did you get those parts?! The Bull Face Bolt, the Bull Energy Ring, and the Semi Defense Performance Tip are all standard parts made by BP Inc, and approved by the WBBA. The Dark Fusion Wheel, however, was thrown out by BP Inc, and the Horn 145 Spin Track is still under development, and it hasn't been approved by the WBBA yet for street or competitive use!" Benkei smirked.
"Let's make a deal. I win, you use your resources to help me with a little problem that I'll elaborate on after I win. If you somehow manage to win, then I'll spill the beans on the parts." Ai smiled seriously.
"Sounds like a good deal. I'll take it. GO ANDROMEDA!" Andromeda attacked Bull and sent it flying onto an overhanging support beam. Andromeda jumped up and attacked Bull again. Ai smiled. "Doing good Andromeda!" Benkei smirked.
"Don't be impatient. There will be a chance." Ai was still smirking, but she was frowning in her mind.
"The Horn 145 Spin Track is still under development, so all of its abilities aren't known yet. For the most part, I can tell that it's really good for attacking, but what kind of attacks? And how should I fight to beat Benkei? With a bull, you don't use strategy to fight, but brute force, so that's what I'll do, in order to determine the practical use abilities of the Spin Track!" Bull fell off of the beam. Andromeda followed it down. Benkei smirked.
"Now, a chance to win!" He shouted out. "Strike! BULL UPPERCUT!" Dark Bull tilted so that its Spin Track was exposed enough to attack Andromeda. They fiercely clashed, but it was obvious that Andromeda was taking all the damage. Ai was in shock.
"What?! Andromeda, RUN!" Andromeda managed to jump over the attacking Dark Bull, which went into a wall, creating another bull shaped hole and breaking a support beam. Bull came out of the hole and went back at Andromeda, still attacking her. "So, that's the power of the H145 Spin Track!" Kenta looked at Madoka.
"What's she talking about?!" Madoka analyzed it.
"The Spin Track has a very peculiar shape. See?" Ginga and Kenta both looked at it. Kenta was shocked.
"It looks like a bull's horns!" Ginga nodded.
"Yeah, it does!" Madoka nodded.
"But not just any bull, a raging bull, and because of the shape, it makes for a great Upper Attack, which is really hard to do. Benkei lured Ai into a place where it would be possible." Kenta looked confused.
"Why are Upper Attacks harder to do?" Madoka showed a simulation.
"For the most part, Beys are generally level with each other. With an Upper Attack, one Bey is higher than the other Bey. The lower Beyblade then attack while the higher Beyblade is still above it." Kenta nodded.
"Oh, I see!" Ginga looked troubled.
"So, if Ai makes the mistake of going above Bull again, she'll be in a lot of trouble." Madoka nodded.
"That's right." Bull flung Andromeda behind itself. Benkei laughed.
"Just what I expected of you Ai Minamoto! You're not gonna allow me to win that easily!" Ai nodded.
"I'm going to win, and I'm going to find out where you got these parts from! GO ANDROMEDA!" Andromeda went up a wall, onto a support beam, and then came back down. Kenta was wide eyed.
"She knows what'll happen!" Madoka nodded.
"Why is she doing that again?!"
"Calm down Kenta, Madoka." They looked in shock at Ginga. "She knows what she's doing." Benkei smirked.
"You're good! That's why defeating you is gonna be all the more sweet! My blood, sweat, and tears are about to pay off big time!" Ai looked confident in her strategy.
"ATTACK WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT ANDROMEDA!"
"BATTLE DARK BULL!" Dark Bull created a glowing red energy disk that clashed with a pink streak of light. It caused a whirlwind that swirled the crates around. Ginga a crate coming at them. He grabbed onto Kenta and Madoka, putting them under himself so that he would be crushed by the crate instead of them. Ai saw that and acted.
"SAVE THEM ANDROMEDA!" Andromeda went away from Dark Bull and circled around them, making the crate float above them. "GINGA!" He realized they weren't dead and then stood up. He got out Pegasis.
"PEGASIS!" He launched his Bey directly at the crate, crushing it into tiny bits and pieces. Andromeda came back over, and Ginga sighed in relief. "That was too close." He called Pegasis back to his hand. Kenta looked around.
"We're okay!" Madoka was blushing from what Ginga did. She looked up at him, thinking about how he had put himself in danger to save them. Kenta saw the support beam that had been hit earlier was collapsing. He screamed. Madoka saw that and screamed too. Giant pieces of concrete were heading directly for Ai.
"Ai, look out!" Kenta shouted to her as well.
"AI!" Ginga started loading Pegasis in the Launcher again, but then Benkei lunged at a very confused Ai and pushed her out of the way. Benkei was on top of her, and she saw how she would've become an Ai pancake if it weren't for Benkei. Kenta looked confused.
"Benkei." Madoka looked equally confused.
"Why did he…?" Ginga simply smiled, understanding what had just happened. Benkei looked really embarrassed, but then Ai gave him a questioning glance.
"Benkei?" Benkei then not only realized that he just saved his opponent, but that he was on top of his opponent, who was also a girl. He jumped up, blushing a little.
"I was, um." Ai stood up, looking at him.
"Benkei…you…saved-" Benkei cut her off.
"No! No I didn't! You just never mind! Keep battling AI!" Dark Bull started charging at her. She smiled.
"Alright then! GO ANDROMEDA!" They clashed, releasing a lot of power. Benkei sent Andromeda flying.
"BULL UPPERCUT!" He cheered. "That's it! I win sucka!" Madoka and Kenta were shocked.
"Ai…"
"Lost?" Ginga smiled.
"Don't be so sure." They looked at him.
"Huh?" Ai smirked.
"This is it! SPECIAL MOVE!" Benkei was shocked.
"What?! You have a Special Move?!" Ai smirked.
"That's right! GO ANDROMEDA SPIRAL CHAIN ASSAULT!" Andromeda spiraled down, landing directly on the top of Dark Bull, spinning both like a Bey, but spinning around in a circle above Bull, creating a huge crater. Bull stopped spinning as Ai called Andromeda back to her hand. Benkei was in shock.
"Bull!" he sank to his knees, looking in the hole that contained his Bey. Madoka got her laptop and analyzed it.
"I see! The bumps on the Heart Fusion Wheel are like chains, so when it spins like that, with normal rotation, plus the spinning around in the way it is, adds friction, and more attack power, and therefore, it causes a lot of damage!" Ai smirked.
"I've been waiting for a chance to use that attack." She frowned, looking at Benkei, who was on his knees. "Now talk. Who gave you those parts?" Benkei looked up at them.
"I don't know his name. It was some guy in a suit. He gave me the entire Bey. He had dark hair and purple eyes." Ai sighed.
"That could be anyone in BP Inc. I can think of at least 10 guys who fit that description, and those are only the guys who work directly with my dad." She smiled at Benkei. "But that battle was a lot of fun!" Benkei was shocked.
"Huh? Was fun?" Madoka and Kenta looked at her like she was an alien, but Ginga smiled. Ai walked towards him.
"That battle was the most fun! Your technique was amazing! The Bull Uppercut was so powerful, if I had received it full on, I would've lost for sure!" She grabbed Bull out of the hole and brought it over to Benkei. She smiled at him. "You should keep practicing with Dark Bull. You have a great connection with him. I can feel it." Benkei looked confused.
"A great connection with Dark Bull?" She nodded.
"Yes. I can tell that over time, you'll come to truly love this Bey, and only this Bey! It's best to have one, and especially to have one that fits you well, and Dark bull fits you like a glove. You're gonna really love him one day!" Benkei swiped it out of her hands.
"I don't love my Bey! I use it to battle!" Ai still smiled.
"That's fine." She held out her hand for a handshake. "Why don't we battle some other time, for fun?" Benkei was still in shock. He looked like he was gonna take that hand.
"With you, never!" He grabbed his arm with his other hand and started walking away. She looked confused.
"Bizarre."
"Alright, I took the wrong bag earlier. All hail the triple beef burger!" They were all enjoying meals, well, short of Ai. She looked at her burger like it was an alien. Ginga was still happy. "I had to beg them to make me a new one, but it's worth it!" He took a big bite. "Yum! Hot dogs are for losers! Burgers are for winners! This is the best!" He took another big bite. "Funny how battling a bull makes you hungry for beef." Ai looked scared of her food.
"Not me. How can you eat this? Isn't there any sushi or something here?" Kenta shook his head.
"No, it's a burger place." Ai shoved her burger at Ginga, who had finished chowing down on his triple beef burger.
"You can have mine. I'll just order room service when I get back to the hotel." Ginga cheered.
"Alright!" He started chowing down on Ai's, and then noticed Madoka. She had her straw in her mouth, but she wasn't drinking. She was just absent-mindedly messing with it. "Madoka, is something wrong?" She looked at him.
"Huh? No, I was just that it was kind of weird." Ginga took a bite of Ai's burger.
"Weird? Well, what is it?"
"Well, it's Benkei. I'm thinking why a Face Hunter like him, who'll do whatever it takes to win, would save Ai." She thought about how he had pushed Ai out of the way. Kenta looked up from his food.
"Yeah Madoka, that is weird!" Ai calmly smiled.
"What do you mean? I don't thinks it's weird at all, not in the slightest." Madoka and Kenta gave Ai confused looks, but Ginga had a similar smile on his face.
"I agree with Ai. You can tell that he had trained really hard to be able to battle her, and he wanted to win honestly." Ai nodded, getting out Andromeda.
"He trained really hard with his new Bey. Even though it's not standard, it's an amazing Bey, and I think it fits him perfectly. With all of that, it made him really want to win fair and square. Plus, they may be cold hearted, but that could've killed me! They have hearts somewhere, and no one's heart would be able to stand by and see that happen." Not far from them, Benkei was chowing down on a humongous pile of burgers, thinking to himself.
"Ba-ba-ba-bull! Next time, I definitely won't lose! Why did I save that stupid Ai back there anyway?! She's so annoying, with her talk about loving your Bey! What was I thinking?" He unwrapped a burger and shoved the whole thing in his mouth, including his hands, which he then bit. He shouted and pulled his hands out of his mouth. They had bite marks on them and they were pulsing red. Tears were streaming down his face.
