The Kings Bowl
"The kings bowl!" Gingka screamed as everyone, sans Ryusei and Hooza, gathered around a big round table. "Everyone knows how to play it? Well, to save time, Im gonna explain it anyway for the ones who doesn't know!
"Everyone sits so they can see eachother, preferebly in a circle. Then we write on a piece of paper a number from 1-x number of people who are participating minus one. On one piece of paper, the word 'KING' will be written. Let's see, we are 1,2... 18 people! Ok, so we are gonna have 17 with numbers from 1-17 on and one with 'KING' on it," Gingka explained as he prepared the pieces of paper.
"Then, we are all gonna pick one piece of paper, and the one who picks the paper with 'king' may order any of the other participants to do whatever he or she wants, for exampel; I want number 3 and number 4 to buy me a burger!"
"...That's a rather lame example," Mizu pointed out.
"Also," Gingka continued, ignoring Mizu, "there are some other rules. The most important one; the kings orders are ABSOLUTE. You can't refuse, or quit if you don't wanna execute the order, you HAVE to do whatever the king tells you to do!" Gingka said, causing some to shiver in fear while some others grinned.
"However, we have put some restrictions: 1, the order can't be M-rated, since we have kids over here," Gingka said as he and some others looked at Yuu and Tenbin. "2, don't be a dick! Be nice and no cruel orders. With all of that out of the way, let's get started!" he said as he placed the bowl in the middle of the table,which everyone took a piece of paper off.
"Now, WHO IS THE KING!?" he chanted as everyone revealed their piece.
Gingka:4
Tenma:King
Madoka:1
Hikaru:11
Mizugameza:15
Tsubasa:13
Yuu:12
Washiza:10
Tenbin:18
Kyoya:16
Benkei:9
Nile:6
Demure:8
Shishiza:3
Ushiza:5
Haroeris:2
Kenta:14
Ite:7
"Alright!" Tenma cheered as she waved her 'king' note. "So now I can order anybody, right?"
"Yes."
"Without having to suffer any consequences?" she asked with big sparkly eyes.
"...yes," Gingka answered with some hesitation.
"Alright, in that case, number 4..."
After a moment, Gingka was now dressed in a maid costume with frills and ribbons in his hair, and was now feeding Tenma ice cream.
"...I should have put a restriction for someting like this..." Gingka muttered looking at his dress.
"Hmhmhm~! This feels nice..." Tenma smiled as Gingka feed her another spoon of vanilla ice.
"Anyway, lets move on," Madoka took over as she signaled everyone to take a piece of paper. This time the king was...
"Yay!" Shishiza cheered as she waved her piece of paper. "Alright, as king I order Ky-... number 9 to..."
Kyoya, who was to busy snickering at Gingka, gulped when he heard his name, and sighed as he prepared for the worst. Surprisingly, she was sitting there quietly, blushing and smiling while rubbing her knees together.
"I want you... to... to..."
Everyone stared in disbelief at the usually cheerfull and loud/cold and ruthless Shishiza sitting there embaressed and shy.
"I... want you, to hold... my hand..."
Surprised and at a loss for words, Kyoya just shrugged his shoulders. "Sure."
He then reached out for her hand, and held it, noticing how soft it is.
"...you can hold it tighter," she said somewhat emberresed. Kyoya wordlessly complied, and held her hand a bit tighter. Shishiza was glowing red, but smiled with content.
"Hihi, you're embarresed over holding hands? What are you, a kid?" Yuu taunted until Shishiza stared at him with malice, silencing him, which Kyoya didn't notice.
"Alright, next round!" Madoka said as everyone put their pieces back in the bowl, and then took new pieces. This time, the king was...
"NOOOOOOO!" Hikaru screamed in fear as she saw Mizugameza wave the 'king' note with a mischievous grin.
"Alright, im the king, and I can do whatever I want," Mizu laughed evily, as the girls shivered in fear. Mizu took his time and looked at his 'subjects', thinking about what he could do. "Alright, I have decided! Number 6 (Hikaru) and number 14 (Madoka), I command you too..."
At this moment, the mentioned girls were sweating in fear of what they were gonna be forced to do.
"...kiss each other."
"...oh, just kiss each other?" Hikaru asked somewhat relieved.
"We can do that," Madoka said only blushing slightly less than before. "We can do it on the cheeck, right?"
Upon hearing that, Mizu began to laugh hystericly.
"HAHAHAHHAHAHA, HAHAHAHHAHAHA, HAHAHHA, HAHAHA, HAHAHHAHAHHAHA!- no," he said now with a serious face, but still with a mishivous smile. "Mout to mouth. 10 seconds."
Hearing this made not only Hikaru and Madoka blush extremly, but it made all the other guys eyes bulge out and their blood pump faster
"W-we can't do that," Madka stuttered. "That's just..."
"The kings orders are absolute," Mizugameza remarked. "Then again, If you dont wanna I could always order you to dance in front of us with just your underwear... Im being generous right now."
"...fine, we will do it," Hikaru said as she walked over to a very nervous Madoka. She then put her hands on Madoka cheecks and pulled her face so they were only a few centimeters away. Upon this, Washiza, Tsubasa and Shishiza covered the eyes of Yuu, Tenbin and Kyoya (much to Kyoya's dismay), while all the others stared intensly.
"I-Im sorry about this," Hikaru apoligized, her heart racing like crazy.
"Its ok, don't worry..." Madoka answered, feeling hot from her nervousness.
After taking a deep breath, Hikaru closed her eyes and longed her lips against Madokas, who had also closed her eyes, and they were both glowing red, feeling the others soft lips against theirs.
This sight made most guys eyes almost pop out, and some even had a nosebleed from this sight.
After 12 seconds, they split apart, both breathing heavily with crimsonred faces. "Satisfied?" Hikaru asked Mizu, to exhausted to be angry at him.
"That almost made me hard," Mizu joked as he chuckled when Hikaru and Madoka stared angrily at him.
"...alright, next round!" Gingka said as he wiped his bloody nose, while gathering all the paper pieces,preparing the next round. This time, the king was Tsubasa.
"Great, if Tsubasa is the king, nothing bad will happen to me!" Gingka thought.
""Great, if Tsubasa is the king, nothing bad will happen to me!", is probably what he is thinking," Tsubasa thought as he looked at the relieved Gingka. Thinking this was the only time he could have the chance to do this to his friend, Tsubasa thought of something. When he thought up something, he surprised everyone by grinning mischivously.
"Alright," Tsubasa spoke up, "I order number 9 (Gingka) to wear number 3's (Madoka) old clothes!"
Shocked, Gingka couldn't find any words to resist, and Madoka became embarresed over the fact that Gingka was gonna wear HER clothes.
"But, Im already wearing this maid costume!" Gingka persisted.
"So? Just change," Tsubasa said stoicly.
"B-but," Gingka tried to resist.
"Gingka, the kings orders are...?"
"...absolute," Gingka sighed as he walked away. "Madoka, Im gonna need your clothes."
When Maoka went with Gingka, another idea struck Tsubasa's mind. "While we are at it, why dont we put Madoka in Gingka's clothes to?"
This made Madoka blush a bit, but not nearly as much as she already did.
After a few minutes, Gingka and Madoka came back. Madoka wore Gingka clothes which were a few sizes bigger than her, so it looked saggy on her, but also made her look cute somewhat, as Gingka's headband was loose on one side mking it fall down in front of her eye. Gingka wore Madoka's older clothes, which was a small white shirt with 'B-Pit' written in blue letters, as well with a small pink sleeveless hoodie, and a small indigo mini-skirt.
"Man, how are girls able to walk in skirts this small?" Gingka asked as he was tryng to pull the skirt own so his underwear wouldn' be shown.
"Oh, you'll get used to it," Madoka said as she secretly snuggeled in Gingka clothes, enjoying how larger they were and how they felt. "One more round then!" she said as she prepared the final round. "Who is the king!"
This time, the one who ended up with the 'king' was Kyoya.
"Heh heh, oh Gingka how I have awaited this," Kyoya snickered while Gingka began to sweat as he began to regret suggesting to play this game. "Ok, number 1 (Gingka), I require a drink and a sandwich; go out and buy me some."
"...um, can I change first?" Gingka asked, not wanting to go out in public in girl's clothes.
"You have 5 minutes!" Kyoya added as he held out his and flat as to show how many minutes ha had, and as he had a rather dark face, Gingka hurried out to buy a sandwhich and a drink.
Outside, everyone out there were giving him strange looks, while some kids snickered at the older boy dressed in girls clothes. In the store, when he bought the required sandwhich, the cashier was looking at him like if he had some weird markings on his face. After getting the stuff he needed, he ran back as quickly as possible, embarresed, not noticing that he was flashing his boxers.
"This is the worst idea ever!" he screamed, crying from embarresment.
Hope you enjoyed that!
It has now been a year since I started writting Starbright Smile.
When I was trying to come up with a good name for this story, I was at the time a big fan of Yugioh 5D's, and my favorite card at the time was Stardust Dragon. So naturally, I wanted this story which was about constellations to have the word 'star' in it. However, saying the name out loud now, one year later, makes me wanna punch my past self. But, I digress.
I remember when I was younger and watched saturday morning cartoons. If Pokemon wasn't on the channel, I would switch to Duel Masters, Sonic X or Beyblade. Altough I wasn't a big fan of it, I still liked that catchy guitar solo that always played in the opening.
Unlike most series, I don't remember watching the last episode of G-Revolution. I still remember the last episode of Duel Masters, and Sonic X in my country ended at the end of the Adventure 2 saga. So I didn't get a very satisfactory ending to Beyblade, and as I grew older, Beylade fell into the memory.
It wasn't until maybe 2010-11, when I was scrolling down anime openings that I found the opening for Beyblade Metal Fight Explosion. "What, they made a new series of Beyblade?" was what I thought. So I clicked the window. The opening was the promotional opening for the Beyblade movie which I at the time did not know about, but I digress. The song was very good and catchy, and it seemed like a really cool cast (especially Ryutaro seemed mysterious and awesome, and while I was confused whatever Tsubasa was a guy or girl, I still thought he looked badass.). Plus, there was that one very cute girl in the opening which made me consider watch the entire series. I searched for more openings, and I bgan to find the series very intriguing (especially Ryuga which I thought was russian for some reason, and the second opening with Julian and the greek setting was interesting), and I saw more of that cute girl.
...admittedly, Madoka was mostly the reason I watched the series to begin with, seeing as I began from episode 2 of the anime. However, as I continued watching, I gradually and eventually began to like the series. While it is your typical kids anime, I find it very enjoyable and very entertaining. I liked season 1 becaue of its huge and varied cast, and season 2 reminded me of the good old classic days. Heck, I liked it so much that I began writting I fanfic about it.
Other reasons I got into Beyblade was because of how colourfull and pretty the beyblades themselves glossy transperent energy rings was what I think made the Beyblades desirable. Also, I liked that the beyblades were based on constellations, which made them more interesting and, I dont know, more cooler than If they were based on anything else. Sadly, not everyone is based on a constellation, which in my opinion decreases their coolness factor TREMENDOUSLY. (I do also like the pictures that are included when you buy a bey which features the owners from the anime, something which Im sad they abandoned in season 2 onwards)
What I liked bout the anime was that the majority of the characters had a good backstory. Tetsuya's was somewhat sad and Gingka's was downright tragic. It surprised me that a family member actually dies, which is sorta surpising for a kids anime. I also want to note that the english version is surprisingly good in terms of keeping the original japanese dialogue... for the most part. While I perfectly understand the need of changing Gashers original japanese name, or that changing Ryuseis name so he wouldn't be confused with the then current Yugioh protaganist Yusei (though this is only speculations), I do not for the life of me understand why they changed Perseus name to Destroyer, or why they Changed Phoenix to Fireblaze, or WHY they even changed some characters names, like Julius to Julian, Daidoji to Doji, and so on.
However, back on the topic.
A few days ago, I wrote that this anniversery was going to be celebrated with a Q&A session. That said, I got only one set of questions from you, which made me somewhat sad:'( However, to make this a good anniversery, I decided to writethe story you just read, and I decided to write my personal experience with the beyblade fanchise and anime. Hopefully by now, you aren't bored with reading my personal history and opinion and is hopefully reading this righ now. With that said, let the (short) Q&A session begin!
This quiestions are from SkylarkOfTheMoon
1. Are more spirits gonna come in? Like say, the world championships teams and
the legendary bladers?
Yes, however WHEN they make an appearence is another question. Sometime in the future, but not very soon. The upcoming chapters are mostly gonna be focused on the season 1 characters (which are my personal favorites). If you were asking if there is gonna be new spirits, then I can tell you that every chapter will introduce a new spirit.
2. Will Ryuga and L-Drago make an appearance? (As you can tell I'm a HUGE
Ryuga fangirl)
Not really an appearence per se, but there will have a chapter centered around them. Or mostly a chapter centered on L-Drago and Tenma. In fact, the next chapter will feature L-Drago, so look forward to that!
3. If you aren't the writer of this story, would you choose MadokaXGingka or
TenmaXGingka?
If I weren't the author of this story, I would choose... GingkaXTenma (*getting ready for the hate mails). Mostly because they share a lot of moments together, and since Gingka has a strong relationship with his bey. But from all the time I watched the show, I generally prefer GingkaXMadoka, so you couldsay Im a supporter of both.
(Plus, If I weren't the author of this, or never wrote this, I doubt anyone else would get the idea to write this story)
4. Is there gonna be more characterxtheirspirit?
Well, that we will have to see in the future ^^
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed this, and sorry if you thought the story was... underwhelming.
Writing this story made me glad that this isn't just a dead concept I once came up with and then later forget in time. Im glad I wrote it down, and Im glad that you all like this bizarre concept, which motivates me to become a better writter.
As to end this anniversery, here is a sneak peak at the next chapter!
In the far galaxy, a star is travelig through the cosmos, not knowing where it will end up. It doesn't know for how long it have traveled, nor does it know when it's travels will end. All it can do is to watch the shining glimmering stars, and the other wonders of space that sponatenously happen.
"I dont remember where I come from... neither do I know why Im traveling through the galaxy like this... or where Im gonna end up...
...
...
...
...but that doesn't matter.
As long as I can still see thos beautiful stars... Im satisfied...
...
...
...those stars... they look like they are so close...
...yet, in reality, they are so far apart..."
Years passed as he gazed upon the stars, and a few more years passed during his seemly endless and pointless journey. And a few more years. And more. And more...
...until at one point, the star came across another star, who was traveling with it's speed in it's direction. Curious about this new star, the star asked the other star for its name. Giggling, the new star took on the appearence of a young human girl, and introduced herself. "My name is Tenma! May I ask for your name?"
NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT AND IS THUS NOT 100% PART OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT
Like and review.
Hope you guys have a good time, see you next time!
