Kyoya watched the boy in front of him closely. There sat Ryuga, the boy he had heard so much about. The two were on their way to Koma Village, where they would steal L-Drago. Kyoya wondered why Ryuga was such a big deal to Doji, just who is this guy?
"Listen here." Ryuga's harsh voice broke the silence. "No matter what happens, our goal is to retrieve the bey."
"No need to tell me twice" Kyoya said with narrowed eyes. Ryuga glared back.
"Now boys no need to get at each other's throats." Doji turned from his seat in the front of the helicopter. "We're almost there and I don't need your arguing to mess up the plan." Kyoya grunted and looked away. His mind flashed back to Madoka. Oh, how he wanted to just go back home and be with her as...boyfriend and girlfriend… Kyoya felt his face warm up. When I get back with Madoka I'm going to tell her just how I feel! She will know that I have feelings for her!
"What are you getting all red about?" Kyoya heard Ryuga's teasing words and glared. "Hn, you know, from what I heard about you, you're not what I expected. You seem so weak compared to the vicious leader of the Face Hunter I heard about." Ryuga commented, leaning back with a smug smirk. Kyoya's fists tightened and he felt the urge to get up and show Ryuga just who he was messing with. And he would've if he hadn't felt the copter land. Soon he was being ushered out.
"Go now you two, the guardians of this place will be here soon. Get me L-Drago." Doji spoke, looking around. "I'll be back soon, you better be ready to leave by then." Doji warned "or I'll leave you behind. Kyoya felt as if that had been directed towards him.
Soon Kyoya found himself inside of the cave where L-Drago was being kept. Ryuga went ahead to retrieve his soon to be bey while Kyoya stood keeping watch. Why am I even here? Does this freak really need me to keep watch? Kyoya growled. There has to be another reason for why Doji wanted me, it can't just be coincidence...what about all that data he collected on me and Leone?
"Kyoya!?"
"Huh?" Kyoya's thoughts were interrupted when a familiar males voice filled the air. "Ginga!" He exclaimed.
"Kyoya what are you doing here?" Ginga seemed to demand an answer. "You're…" realization dawned across his face "you're here for the bey aren't you? Is that what you've been doing? Plotting to take L-Drago!" Ginga was soon running past the green haired boy. "I won't let you and whoever this Doji is get away!"
"No Ginga that's not it!" Kyoya called out, reaching to grab hold of the Pegasus bladers scarf. If I don't stop him now who knows what could happen. Ginga was pulled back on to the ground by Kyoya.
"Then what is going on?" Ginga shouted, getting up and facing Kyoya.
"It's nothing Ginga, just leave now before things get worse."
"Listen Kyoya" Ginga ignored him. "Whoever you're here with shouldn't get their hands on that beyblade, it won't end well!"
Kyoya balled his fists before quickly pulling his launcher and Leone out. "Ginga, you have no idea what's going on! Now ready your launcher and take aim!" Kyoya shouted. This is the only way I can distract Ginga.
"Stop right there!" Hikaru found herself facing the alleged thief. The boy had already gotten his hands on L-Drago and now he stood with a dark purple aura surrounding both his body and the legendary bey. He looked to the blue haired girl in front of him.
"What do you want?" He questioned harshly, watching as the girl stepped forward.
"Give me that bey!" She demanded, causing Ryuga to smirk.
"What if I don't?" Ryuga spoke, amused. Hikaru hummed in annoyance as she reached for her Aquario.
"Then I'll make you!" Hikaru shouted as she took aim. Ryuga couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You sure you want to do this?" a cocky smirk tugged at his lips. "Because I think we both know you're nothing compared to me."
"Shut up and fight!" Hikaru launched Aquario. Reacting quickly Ryuga grabbed his launcher and sent his new bey flying through the air and landing near Aquario. "Go on attack me."
Hikaru hesitated when she say the dark aura surrounding L-Drago. She could almost feel the dark energy filling the air. "Go Aquario!" He bey raced forward, sending several bows at her opponent.
"Your weak attempts aren't going to do anything." Ryuga smirked. "This is such a waste of time!" he growled. "My ride will be here any minute and I don't have time for pointless battles. So let's just finish this now!"
"Finish it? But the battles only just begun…" Hikaru watched as the dark aura from L-Drago formed around Ryuga, giving a more evil look.
"Finish her L-Drago!" He shouted. The dark bey raced into Aquario, giving Hikaru no time to counter attack or dodge. Fear rose inside of Hikaru's purple eyes as L-Dragos spirit appeared before her. The three dark dragons roared before blasting Aquario with immense power and sending the bey flying back and smashing into the wall behind Hikaru. Dust and wind blew against Hikaru as she watched L-Drago in horror. She was sent sliding back and soon tumbled to the ground. Ryuga smirked this bey is even more powerful than I thought! He laughed evilly as he neared the fallen Hikaru and Aquario.
"3!" Ginga called out, Pegasus ready to be launched.
"2!" Kyoya was next to ready his bey.
"1! Let it rip!" Both beys were launched, landing and racing towards each other. Sparks flew as both met in a headon collision.
"Go now Pegasus!" Pegasus broke away from Leone, zooming around its opponent and delivering attacks. Kyoya watched carefully. This time...this time I'm going to win!
"Leone!" The said bey dodged Pegasus's next attack, racing around Pegasus and smashing into it. Pegasus was pushed back a ways, nearing closer to the stone walls.
"Get away!" Ginga called to his partner. The blue bey stopped sliding back and so did Leone. Pegasus pushed against Leone, but neither moved an inch.
"Hnn, Leone push harder! Attack like the fierce lion you are!" Kyoya called out watching as bey pushed against Pegasus with a tremendous force, quickly pushing its opponent back and against the rocks.
"Pegasus!" Ginga watched in shock as Leone kept his bey pushed against the rocks. Pegasus continued to spin though. Leone began to push against Pegasus harder, causing the rock around the beys to begin to crack apart. If Pegasus doesn't get away soon I'm done for!
"Eagle!" A voice rang through the cave.
"What?" Kyoga exclaimed in shock, turning to see Tsubasa standing above him on a ledge. He looked as if he had already been battling. Tsubasa jumped, sliding down the ledge. He now stood between the rivals. "Metal Wing Smash!"
"No!" Kyoya growled as Eagle raced towards his bey. Eagle glew a bright purple color, gathering its strength and crashing into Leone. Leone was thrown back, but landed while still spinning. Pegasus jumped from its place in the stone, wobbling unsteady but still going.
"Tsubasa!" Ginga called at his friend. "Where is Hikaru?"
"She's almost to the thief. There she'll stop him." Tsubasa turned to Kyoya. "Resorting to fight for the enemy I see." He glared.
Kyoya growled, "idiots, you have no idea what you're doing!"
"Then explain! Why are you doing this, why are you helping the Dark Nebula?" Ginga questioned.
"I didn't have a choice, I couldn't risk Madoka's safety!" Kyoya shouted, growing angrier.
"What are you talking about? Madoka's not involved with any of this mess" Tsubasa watched the Leone blader carefully.
"She is! More than you know." Kyoya signaled for Leone to race towards Eagle, ignoring Pegasus for a moment. Ginga took that as his chance to end it. Pegasus raced raced around, jumping into the air and moving along side of the wall. Soon Pegasus made it up to the highest ledge. As Ginga prepared his special move Leone was standing its ground as Tsubasa's Eagle delivered blows to the bey.
"Now Ginga!" Tsubasa called for Ginga. "While Leone is distracted."
"Pegasus!" Ginga's bey jumped from the ledge and as high into the air it was able to go. ""Star Blast Attack!"
"Not so fast! Leone Lion Gale Force Wall!" Leone's spirit appeared briefly as the twister began to form. As pegasus's spirit appeared the winged horse was caught in the twister.
"You can do it Pegasus!" The beyblade shook as Pegasus attempted to keep its move and crash down in Leone, breaking through the wind and flying closer to Leone. The clash of special moves had kicked up dirt and dust, clouding around the beys and small pieces for rock even flew around. The noise of the battle was almost enough to block out the screams that drifted from the cave in front of them.
Tsubasa's eyes widened, "Hikaru!" He called out for his girlfriend and a harsh laugh was heard.
"Ryuga…" Kyoya watched as the said boy walked into view. L-Drago spun near where he stood with an unconscious Hikaru over his shoulder.
"Such a weak girl" he smirked, dropping the Aquario blader and her bey onto the ground before him. Both Ginga and Tsubasa looked at Ryuga in awe and anger.
"Get away from her!" Tsubasa signaled Eagle to go for L-Drago.
"Ha! You think your a match for me? I'll send your bey flying!" Ryuga watched as L-Drago raced quickly to smash into Eagle, sending the bey flying towards the wall. Tsubasa watched in shock of the sheer power Ryuga now held. Next Ryuga turned to Ginga and Kyoya. "Finish Ginga off quickly Kyoya! Doji doesn't like to wait." Kyoya had look of mixed emotion in his eyes. Ryuga picked up on the Leone bladers unwillingness to battle any further. Ryuga growled, sending his dark bey at Leone who, already weakened greatly by Pegasus, was sent flying back at Kyoya. The blue eyed boy was hit in his chest by his bey, taking the breath out of him and causing a stinging pain to run through his body.
"Kyoya!" Ginga called worried for his rival. He pushed aside his feelings of conflict towards Kyoya and tried to run to the injured boys side.
"Ginga look out!" Tsubasa yelled, running at the redhead to push him out of line for L-Dragos next attack. Ginga fell forward and Tsubasa took the hit.
"Tsubasa!" Ginga cried out.
"Some weak friends you have there Ginga." Ryuga walked up to him with a smirk. "I took all of them out with ease...I can't wait for our battle." Ryuga proceeded to Kyoya, picking the boy up and throwing him over his shoulder with no care.
"Get back here!" Ginga stood, watching him with anger. "I'm not going to let you hurt my friends and Kyoya like that!"
Ryuga was already leaving, but he turned to look over his shoulder. "Look on the bright side Ginga at least I haven't hurt that mechanic girl. Yet." Ryuga's cruel laughter filled the air once more before he disappeared.
It wasn't until the morning when Kyoya woke up. He awoke in a room under the covers of a bed. He looked around sleepily. He expected to be in Madoka's shop, but found he was mistaken. Why am I here...Doji...I helped, but he brought me back here… Kyoya closed his eyes, feeling a headache coming on. "Kyoya, are you awake?" He opened his blue eyes at the familiar voice.
"Madoka!" He sat up, his muscles felt sore with each movement he made. "Where is Doji?" He looked around, spotting the man sitting across the room. ""You!" He growled, trying to get up, but only to be stopped by Madoka.
"Calm down." she spoke lowly.
"We had a deal, why did you bring me back here? Why didn't you let Madoka go home?"
Doji spoke up. "You see Kyoya, Ryuga had a change of mind and so did I." Doji held back a smirk. "You see Kyoya, Ryuga doesn't want you to leave so soon. He just loves to have guests."
"Cut to the chase!" Kyoya spoke rudely. He found himself grabbing hold of Madoka's hand. She sat quietly as if she already knew what Doji was going to say.
"If you want to leave so badly then you have to do one thing for us." Doji stood, getting ready to leave. "In just a few days you will…" Doji paused, amused by Kyoya impatient expression. "Battle Ryuga. If you win then I'll let you and Madoka go and if you lose, well, you'll find out when that time comes." Doji chuckled walking out. He stopped to hear the words Kyoya spoke quietly before leaving.
"Defeat Ryuga for our freedom..." Kyoya's mind flashed to what L-Drago had done the previous night. The amount of power it held. He clenched his fists, holding Madoka's hand tighter. "I'll do it." He spoke lowly.
I UPDATED SO QUICKLY! I just couldn't wait to get this chapter out so I worked extra hard to work on it. Apparently if I really put my mind to it I update much faster. No promises that I'll keep up so well though. Anyways I worked hard on the battle scenes and I think they came out really well, especially looking back at the first battle I tried to write I think I did much better this time around. I hope to update within the next week! Until then I hope you enjoyed!
