"Go Driger!" the minute that had passed felt like half as Rei and Ginga continued to battle; neither wanted to lose. Driger rushed at Pegasus, hitting it right on, it bounced back and nailed Driger back. "Heh," he laughed inwardly, enjoying the battle, "You're pretty good." He spoke to Ginga in Japanese, seeing as he was Japanese first.
"Hehe, thanks!"Ginga replied casually, not taking his eyes off the relentless beys, "You're not too bad yourself." Ginga was genuinely having fun, but he knew he could have more if he wasn't holding back. "Pegasus, return." His bey came back to his awaiting hand. He looked Rei and grinned, "That was a great battle," Driger returned to Rei, "and next time, let's not hold back."
Rei blinked twice as Driger returned to him. So he'd known? Rei laughed, "It's a deal." They met in the middle of the area and shook hands, showing that he'd been accepted. Rei walked back to Max as the purple headed kid once again spoke in English and Japanese.
"There are three more spots, are there any takers?" Rei placed his hand on Max's shoulder and pushed him forward. The purple haired boy noticed him come forward and pointed to him, first saying in Japanese then repeating in English, "We have another taker!"
Max went blue in the face and turned back to Rei, "What do you think you're doing?" Rei laughed and answered, "You have a battle to face."
He stood with his bey loaded, unsure of what to do. His opponent, Ginga, smirked as his gaze fell on him. "Three," he began, feeling as ready as he could.
"Two," Ginga could feel it; this would be a good battle.
The crowd resounded, "One!"
"LET IT RIP!"/ "GO, SHOOT!"
Madoka sighed as she sifted in her assigned backpack. According to the Bey Stars, she'd been summoned by her destined Bit Beast. She huffed once more and bent over with her hands resting on her jelly-like legs, breathing deeply. The distant figures of Emilia and Annabel seemed too far for them to be real. They'd all agreed to trek through the woods for a day, to see if Madoka could get her bey.
"Wait… up," she felt woozy and her vision quickly darkened as the darkness rose quickly to meet her.
XDXDXD
A cheerful "Good job, girly!" greeted her as she awoke. There was a crackling fire that illuminated each of the Gypsies faces. Zoey's head was rested on Adrian's shoulder but she was obviously awake. She saw Gwyneth on the other side of the flame with a guitar out, "You found the camp site!"
Moments of silence passed before Gwyneth let out a dreaming sigh and a bittersweet chuckle. "Whatcha thinking of, Gwyn?" Emilia shoved another mass of melted marshmallow into her mouth, swallowed, and showed Annabel.
Eager to not be defeated, Annabel shoved two more of the monstrous marshmallows into her mouth, but not before saying, "It's not like you to be…well, quiet at all." She tried swallowing, only to get it stuck in her throat.
Gwyneth looked at them with a small smile, "Just remembering when I got A." With one quick smack on the back from Adrian the marshmallows went down Annabel's throat in one gulp. She panted in a dog like manner and turned to Emilia. With a smug grin she showed her empty mouth.
"I win!" there was a collective sigh from the rest of the group as Emilia argued that it shouldn't count, after all, Adrian had helped.
Gwyneth continued, "It was a night sorta like this one." She gestured to the area they were in, "I was bey-battling with an empty bey back then. I was only seven or eight," Madoka wondered how old she was to think that was a long time ago, "I was losing miserably to a sore winner friend of mine," she laughed fondly, "He was saying 'there's no way you can win Gwyn, I'm gonna win … AGAIN!' and I was listening." She looked and saw that they'd gradually gathered around her, she continued, "I gave up all hope of winning and just yelled out. Out of the bushes there was this flash of white."
"Then what?" Heidi's mouth was securely covered by Zoey's hand.
Gwyneth continued, "We didn't know what it was, but when we looked down there it was and my friends bey had stopped spinning. I'd won. The bey fell into my hands and became mine!" She smiled and winked, "What about you guys?"
Anna stopped biting Emilia and smiled fondly, "Emilia and me got ours at the same time," she looked at Emilia, who nodded in agreement and continued,
"We were skipping school for no real reason. That's how we were back then," Madoka felt sweat drop from her head, they both were only thirteen… "These big meanies came and chased us to a corner, we couldn't do anything about It." the tone used was doused with an uncharacteristic hate.
Anna continued, holding Thunder Roc tightly, "When we thought nothing could help us," she saw Zoey wanting to know what they meant and motioned for her to cover Heidi's ears, "They were forcing us into their car," Heidi removed Zoey's hands from her ears.
"What I miss?" she demanded while glaring at her oppressor. Emilia shook her head and waved her hand innocently,
"Nothing, Anna just mumbled something unintelligent!" this was enough for the little girl as they continued, "there were two banging noise and their headlights got broken. Pretty soon everything around them either had dents or cracks." Annabel joined in happily as they continued in sync.
"They ran and didn't look back." Heidi clapped approvingly, not knowing the story wasn't over.
Annabel cleared her throat and continued, "Then we heard this whirring sound saw these two beys in alley. They charged at us and…"
"Went into our hands, they were Astrid and Roc," Emilia made sure Anna had heard that she hadn't said either Supreme or Thunder.
"It was my 'Roc'-as you put it Emilia- that saved us that day." She flicked her hair with her still red fingernails.
Emilia growled defensively, "No way Babel, it was Astrid all the way."
Max didn't notice the cameramen close in until the purple haired kid said that time was up, even then.
"GO PEGASUS!" Ginga's bey drilled towards Draciel with a vengeance. He grinned and called out in English, "PEGASUS STARBURST ATTCK!" as his bey was tossed up and out of sight by Draciel.
"C'mon Draciel!" this would decide who won and who lost, "GRAVITY CONTROL!" Pegasus came crashing into Draciel's water tower. A long while later there was a loud boom as black smoke came from the explosion.
"Huh," Draciel flew back into Max's awaiting hand. "Wow Draciel," he looked at the unmoving bey, "you're burning up."
Pegasus dashed into Ginga's hand, "Good job, Pegasus!" he cried as he rubbed it against his cheek. Ginga blinked, "HOT!"
"There you have it folks, a new threat in the making!" Ginga stopped running long enough to see an ivory haired DJ approach them with a mic in her hand. She pointed it to Max and with a practiced smile asked him, "What's your name kid?" catching him off guard.
"Me?" he stammered, "I'm Max!" she moved over to Rei, who answered similarly to Max, when she came to the purple haired kid he cried out,
"B-b-b-BULL! My name's Benkei!" The DJ grinned and went to Ginga, whose cheek had finally cooled off.
"And you, cutie?" she asked with a flirtatious tone. Ginga blinked and shrugged his shoulders, not knowing what she was talking about. She sighed, "silly me!" she repeated the question in Japanese for him.
"Ooh!" Ginga laughed, "Hagane Ginga!"
XDXDXD
Tyson growled as Kenny rubbed some stinging stuff on another of his many bruises from his recent fight with Daichi. "Little twerp!" he pouted as he turned on the TV, "the only thing that annoys me more is this stupid Show Beying!"
"But Tyson-," Kenny's voice wasn't heard as Tyson slammed the door to the bathroom. A tinkling sound came from the room. Kenny sighed and watched the Show Beying update. Secretly, he'd been following it ever since it'd started. He'd never tell Tyson though.
Hey, hey, hey Guys and Gals!
Kenny smiled with awestruck love. It was his favorite DJ (or BJ as she called herself) Tinout! She was only fifteen, but she was already a successful Beyblade DJ.
Check out the new group we got! She spun around, hopping from one foot to the other, Layin' out their moves are the Masquebey Rebelz!
Kenny lay flat on his stomach, nearing the television for a better look at this new found team that dared to oppose the reigning champs.
First off in this groovy group of guys, besting the besties at the battles, the screen switched from the peppy BJ and to a clip of a bey diving straight into a pillar of water and a boy crying out 'Pegasus Starburst Attack!', Is Ginga Hagane! It switched once more to a clip of a red haired boy removing a pure white mask with a feather pattern, revealing blazing red eyes and a challenging smirk.
Second, rockin' the one-on-one ram off with his, it cut to a large, purple haired kid screaming out; 'B-b-b-BULL!' is Benkei! The screen showed the same kid removing the purple sequined bull mask he was wearing.
Third, this sea eyed sweetie is on the front lines for the tag team turn-off! Give it up for him and his, it cut to something that shook Kenny. It was Max using Gravity Control! Max Tate! The following clip was Max removing a mask that looked like Draciel.
And finally for now, this cool cat is rockin' out the razzle-dazzle Show Bey round! Kenny hoped it wasn't who he thought it was. The clip they showed looked like it'd come from a cell phone. It was Rei using Gattling Claw against the red haired kid, Ginga. No doubt about, it's Rei Kon! Rei had a mask that looked like Driger; it covered most of his face except half his mouth area.
Oh no, Kenny fretted, tuning out the message about how they needed two more teammates, Tyson won't be happy! He grabbed his laptop and frantically ran out the door, slamming it loudly behind him, "Going out for some air Tyson!"
"Hey-!" Tyson came out from the bathroom as soon as he heard that. He looked at the TV, the Show Beying thing was still on, Remember, they're the Masquebey Rebelz! "URRGH!" Tyson switched off the TV, "Stupid Show Beying!"
Madoka was perched at the top of the cliff with her sleeping bag out. According to Gwyn, the spot was common for meeting Bit Beasts. She looked at her watch, it showed 12:30, and yawned. The top of the hill, very far from where the rest of the Gypsies slept, and been leveled and stoned; the stone had cracked enough in the spot she sat that she had a cozy bed of grass.
Soundlessly she looked to the full moon, her current companion while she sat alone. Its light bathed her and her surroundings, illuminating anything it touched. *shuffle*shuffle* Madoka heard a quiet scurrying and moved closer to the moon.
"It's okay," she assured whatever it was. She'd decided it was too quiet of scurrying to be any big creature. Maybe, if she was lucky, it was a small field mouse out for a midnight snack, "Come watch the moon with me." The animal moved closer. Little by little more of it was revealed; a small moon-bathed beak, black beady eyes and small blueish-white feathers. It looked like an owl; well, except for the 'blue' thing. It jumped onto Madoka's palm and propelled itself onto her lap.
"That's another option," she sighed as she stroked the small creatures head. The moon seemed a million times brighter. "Isn't it beautiful?" the bird chirped in response.
Much silence followed before the bird pointed to the moon with one of its wings. "Huh, you want to go there?" It nodded, "Sure." Madoka stood up, the bird in her hands and smiled.
"Be free!" It screeched out as it flew towards the illuminated moon and seemed to change into a white eagle. Thank you… A bright flash of light surrounded Madoka.
XDXDXD
"Huh?" Madoka shot up from the sleeping bag she was using. "What's going on?" she looked around; she was still at the top of the cliff. She rubbed her eyes, aware of where she was, and fluffed the pillow she'd laid on. *tink* Madoka looked at what'd dropped from her pillow. It was angular, colored similarly to the foam at the sea, and small.
GWYN!
Gwyneth shot up from her bed, "who-what-when-where-why? I paid the bills last week!" she heard childish laughter and blinked at what was in front of her. It was a bey with a siren inscription.
"I got my bey!" Madoka beamed proudly at it, "Siren."
Siren FTW! XD lovies! And thanks to those who reviewed! Veeka, I will get to faving you in a bit, and Neiji, thanks for the encouragement!
