I don't own anything just Sierra, Eric, Dark Tigris, Blizzard Falcon, and plot

Enjoy!

Tsubasa stared at Blood Aries in total shock. Hyoma was the cause of all this destruction. He was the one who knocked Chris out and made lose his memory. He was the one who put The Legendary Blader Kyoya on life support. He was the one who shot himself to make it look like someone else did it. Tsubasa felt anger build up inside him. Why would Hyoma do this? That was the question here.

Why.

Hyoma ran towards his room. He had completely forgot to get Aries, how dumb of him. He needed Aries to inflict pain and misery on these pathetic people who call themselves bladers. Hyoma felt a smile come to his lips, oh how he was going to enjoy their screams of pain and cries of mercy. Hyoma approached his hall were his room was, to find that he's door was open. Hyoma narrowed his eyes and pulled out his knife. Whoever had went in room was going to regret it big time.

He walked in his room quite quickly. Right away he looked around his closet was closed as it was everything was there. Except-

Hyoma quickly went to his bed and ripped off the pillow. The sight relived him Blood Aries was right where he left it. Hyoma picked it up admiring it. It was beautiful bey, it fitted his personality his new Aries was a bey of destruction, just like him. Hyoma put it in his brunt case on his hip. He had to make sure had everything. He crouched down next to the bed and pulled out a black duffle bag. He quickly opened and peered inside, his gun was still there and so was a few extra throwing knives. He picked up the gun which happened to be a semi-automatic handgun. Hyoma than picked up a few throwing knives he opened up his jacket. He carefully put the knives into their slots in a knife strap he had slung across his shirt. His bullet injury was still hurting but he didn't affect him too much. He closed the bag and threw it back under the bed.

Hyoma stood up and smiled "Now let's go spill some blood". With that Hyoma walked out.

Slowly Tsubasa came out of the closet he was pale. He took a shaky breath wondering what Hyoma meant by spilling blood. Tsubasa gulped as horrible thoughts flew across his mind. Tsubasa eyed the bed cautiously he walked over to it and got the bag out. He reluctantly opened it, he gasped in the bag was papers and pictures of all the bladers that were here. Pictures of all his friends. He picked up one it was Kyoya he had a red x marked on it. Another picture had Chris on it he also had an x.

He saw other pictures, Madoka, Gingka, Zeo, Toby, and countless others even Eric and Sierra were there.

This was bad, this was very bad.

Hyoma walked down the hall with a smile. He had some targets to get, but who should he get first. The Legendary bladers were his biggest concern. They were the strongest of all the people here. He needed to get rid of them, before he went after Tsubasa and the rest. Lets see he'd already took out Chris and Kyoya next was Gingka, Tithi and Dynamis. Those were the only ones left that were here at this lame conference. He turned the corner to go right. But then-

BANG!

Hyoma bumped into someone. He growled wondering you bumped into him.

"Oh sorry Hyoma I didn't see you there." A sweet teenage voice said.

"Tithi huh." Hyoma thought "She'll be my first target."

Hyoma smiled a bit creepily at Tithi. "That's alright Tithi accidents happen."

Tithi nodded then turned too walked away. Hyoma seized his chance to attack, he grabbed her arm a bit harshly. He twisted it behind her back, and slammed her into the wall. Tithi gasped when she collided with the wall. Hyoma then pressed harder on her arm, she shrieked and started to squirm. Hyoma smirked evilly.

"Now you're going to tell me where Dynamis and Gingka are." Hyoma whispered in her ear. Tithi pushed up against him trying to break free. Her face contorted in both anger and pain. But Hyoma just put more pressure on her slowly breaking arm.

"I'll ask you again, where are they?!" Hyoma firmly.

"Bastard, I'll never tell you!" Tithi said in a pain filled voice. Hyoma felt anger and annoyance building in him. Why do teenagers have be so difficult? Hyoma forcefully slammed his palm into the joint between her shoulder and arm. There was a sickening popping sound and a scream followed afterwards. Hyoma let go and Tithi fell to the ground crying. Hyoma grabbed her already throbbing arm and squeezed it hard. Tithi screamed as more tears flew from her eyes.

"The roof Dynamis is on the roof!" She cried desperately. "Please stop…please!"

"And Gingka?" Hyoma said harshly

Tithi gulped trying to get herself together. "…Gingka is training outside!

Hyoma smirked "Now was that so hard." He dropped the crying Venus blader unto the floor. Tithi immediately clutched her shoulder. Hyoma walked away towards the elevator. Tithi was out of the way she wouldn't be able to interfere with any of his plans not with a dislocated shoulder.

"Onto the next target."

Dynamis paced on the roof top. He kept glancing at the stars, hoping that he made a mistake in reading. But no the results were the same. The Ram constellation was still glowing the same red color. Dynamis cringed he will never ever would like the color of red in the heavens. Last time the heavens were red bad things happened to him and the people around. He breathed he had to tell Tsubasa. Dynamis ran to the door he came through. He opened the door and was unfortunately meet with a sadistic smirk.

"I've been looking for you." Hyoma said as he stepped forward. Dynamis scrambled back in surprise. He kept staring at Hyoma now noticing he had a gun in his hand. Hyoma grinned at him sinisterly Dynamis backed up his hands slowly going towards his launcher and bey. Hyoma saw him doing this and fired one quick shot. Dynamis's gasped when the bullet connected with his side. He felt sharp pain shoot through his entire left side it was electrifying it felt like someone was stabbing him a hundred times.

Dynamis fell to the floor his vision grew blurry. He felt blood seep through his shirt and through the gaps of his fingers. Pain flared up to his head and in the mist of all this pain one sentence flew to his mind.

Why in the hell did nobody hear that bang?

Dynamis gritted his teeth, while he looked up at Hyoma in disgust then he looked to the gun. It had one of those things that makes the gun silent therefore, nobody could've heard the gun go off. Which meant that no one will come running up here to see what's going on. Hyoma smirked at him and came closer, Dynamis recoiled at Hyoma's twisted sadistic looked.

"W….Why are... you doing... this... Hyoma?" Dynamis croaked barely having enough energy to say that one sentence. Hyoma sighed as he crouched next to guardian.

"You wouldn't understand." Hyoma said. "But lets just say I've got a job to do here and you legends aren't going to screw it up." Hyoma stood back up again, raising his boot he kicked Dynamis hard in stomach close to his wound.

Dynamis groaned his vision finally giving way into pitch darkness.

Hyoma grinned creepily at the unconscious guardian. Blood was pooling slowly from his side wound Hyoma clicked his tongue he didn't shoot a major artery. If he'd hit a mayor Dynamis would be dead right now. Hyoma up his gun back in his holster he'd spare him for now. The wound should kill him slowly and painfully given time. Hyoma turned around to go look for Gingka. When a searing pain went up his stomach. He doubled over gasping he unzipped his jacket, and quickly lifted up his shirt. His own wound wrapped in bondages began to throb. He had shot himself but not completely he'd only let the bullet grazed him. So everyone will think that someone carelessly shot him, but that still didn't mean he didn't have effects from it.

Hyoma breathed as he straightened himself up he needed to find Gingka that was the last target of the legends. He looked around to the ground below it wasn't that hard to find Gingka because a big explosion of blue energy bursted into the night sky. Hyoma quickly pinpointed the location of where it was coming from.

It came from a stadium next to the back of the WBBA.

Gingka being careless as usual. This should be easy.

Gingka panted as Pegasus returned to his palm. He had to get more training done, if he wanted to battle Kyoya when he wakes.

Gingka, personally was really pissed off. Why? Because one of his biggest rivals was in the hospital on life-support. Then another one of his rivals has memory loss, his best friend got shot by some mysterious jackass. Gingka let out an angry yell he launched Pegasus with all his might. Pegasus spun around the stadium fast. Blue light trailed along it as it raced. Pegasus gained more speed ready to obey its master's orders.

Suddenly a red streak of light bounded into the stadium. It sped towards smashing into it, sending Pegasus (surprisingly) flying. Pegasus quickly recovered through by catching itself at the edge of the stadium.

"Huh, what was that?! Whose bey is that?" Gingka asked his anger turning into confusion.

In his response, someone stepped out of the shadows. Someone very familiar.

Hyoma.

Gingka stared at his friend in shock. Then he turned his attention towards Pegasus, he was left completely bewildered Pegasus was getting pushed way back it was struggled against Hyoma's new Aries.

"Hyoma what kind of bey is that?" Gingka asked his friend.

Hyoma smiled at him. Gingka felt that the smile that Hyoma was giving him was different. This smile looked more sinister and sadistic. Gingka avoided his eyes and focused on the battle Pegasus attacks kept getting weaker as Aries grinded against it.

"To answer your question old friend" Hyoma said causally "This is Blood Aries."

"Blood Aries." Gingka said.

Somehow that name made him feel uncomfortable and a bit uneasy. Gingka narrowed his eyes at Hyoma, he seemed different. He kept on attacking Pegasus like some wild ram out of control. Unleashing his power on his Pegasus.

Pegasus barely dodged another wild attack. Its spin rotation was severely weakened now.

"Aries Special Move Blood Driver!" Hyoma yelled manically.

Aries glowed and released its spirit. Gingka gasped on how Aries looked. It looked like a nightmare now. Its fur was a blood red now, its strong defense horns were pure black with little spikes sticking out. Aries charged towards Pegasus horns aimed.

"Pegasus move!" Gingka yelled.

But Pegasus wasn't fast enough. Aries's speed was not describable it was like lighting. Aries slammed into Pegasus hard really hard.

There was a big explosion. Pain erupted through every nerve in his body. Gingka screamed as he flew back he rolled over a few times before he finally stopped. He was on his stomach grimacing, cuts covered him and everything throbbed. Gingka's eyes widened when Pegasus landed in front of him. It was covered in deep cuts. What had just happened?

Gingka weakly looked up to his opponent. Hyoma was staring at him with this manic expression. Gingka cringed as Hyoma started to walk towards him. This was not his best friend this was some twisted monster. He struggled to get up, doing anything to get away. But he was too weak and his Pegasus couldn't help him either.

Gingka suddenly cried out in pain as Hyoma kicked him in the side. Was he there before? Obviously because Hyoma kicked him again. Pain shot through in a painful way. He kept kicking him merciless not edging up a bit. And Gingka kept screaming out his voice getting raw.

"Hyoma….. Stop it!" Gingka would cry. But Hyoma would just laugh and keep kicking.

Finally after a few more kicks Hyoma stopped. Gingka was trembling on the ground he was curled in a tight ball. His arms clutching around his stomach in a subconscious attempt to stop the agony. Gingka again looked up to his so-called friend. Hyoma he had a triumph grin on as if he found victory in something.

"You Legends are so easy to take care of." Hyoma said

Gingka head spun with dizziness. He suddenly wanted to know what Hyoma did to his friends. Through he didn't want to know the answers he had to try.

"W…What …do you… mean?" Gingka gasped.

Hyoma circled him. "Well Kyoya was a bit tough to deal with."

"You did that to Kyoya!"

Yes, I had to use one of my more powerful moves to deal with him. Chris was easy, Tithi was easy as well. Dynamis was easy too. You well I was a bit disappointed with."

Hyoma suddenly grabbed Gingka's red hair roughly and pulled. Gingka yelped as he was forced to look into Hyoma's cold twisted eyes. Hyoma glared at him.

"You disappoint me Gingka, I was expecting more from you. You were supposed to be a challenge for me and my Blood Aries. But he didn't you ended up losing like the pathetic worm you are! I thought you were the almighty Gingka the strongest in the world." Hyoma snarled at the Pegasus blader.

"But why are you doing this." Gingka said weakly, his stomach churning from the furious beating it had moments ago.

Hyoma let him go and stood up. "You'll see old friend."

Gingka fell to the floor limp his vision suddenly getting spotted with black dots.

Hyoma started to walk away but he stopped and looked at Samurai Pegasus. He positioned it under his boot. (AN: Probably about to make a lot of Gingka and Pegasus fans mad) and in one swift cruel move he crushed the bey.

Gingka heard the sound of something cracking and instantly looked up. What he saw sent terror and shock to his soul. His beautiful Pegasus was completely smashed fragments of its fusion wheel laid in a pile. The spin track and performance tip was busted up. Gingka screamed and then the next thing he knew darkness surrounded him.

Hyoma walked away with a smile. That was very enjoyable it was nice seeing Gingka completely at his mercy. Now onto the next target.

His next target Tsubasa Ootori.

Me: Finished with this Chapter! Kind of feel bad doing that to Dynamis, Tithi and Gingka. Especially Gingka, jeesh I made Hyoma smash his bey. Then after that I made him step on it.

Gingka: You should guilty you tortured me :(

Me: It was for the sake of the plotline! Get over it! You readers are most likely wondering where everyone else is at. Don't worry they'll show up in the next chapter! Please Review!
