Leone and L-Drago clashed together as both beys were launched. Both held their ground as the landed. Sparks flew as they continued the collision. At first both appeared to be matched in power as both beys pushed each other around. Leone held its ground as L-Drago continued its line of attacks. Soon both beys broke apart from each other and distanced themselves from each other.
Kyoya watched Ryuga and L-Drago carefully, remembering what Madoka said about being careful. "Leone" Kyoya's eyes followed as he bey moved towards the center of the stadium to take up a defensive stance.
"Just going to sit there and do nothing?" Ryuga remarked rudely. "That's fine, just watch as I take you down." the dark bey raced forward, hitting it's opponent with a line of attacks. Leone held its ground.
"You're going to have to do a lot more to get Leone." The green haired boy watched with a somewhat smug smile, happy with the way Leone was holding up against Ryuga.
"Fine then, watch this!" Ryuga rough voice spoke and L-Drago slammed back into Leone.
"Leone!" Kyoya shouted as he watched his bey be sent back a few feet, landing steadily on the ground. Ryuga signaled for L-Drago to attack Leone again. Kyoya called for Leone move forward to meet with L-Drago. Leone pushed L-Drago back slowly before moving to zoom around and turn to attack from behind. Ryuga growled as he watched Leone attacking. Next Leone moved away from its opponent, only to shoot forward again to attack. L-Drago swiftly dodged and approached Leone to attack with a burst of power. Leone was hit causing the bey to slide back with L-Drago pushing against it.
Kyoya clenched his fist for a moment, but calmed down soon after. "Go Leone!" He called as he signaled for Leone to race forward at L-Drago, hitting the dark bey with an uppercut move. The dragon was sent upward into the air for a moment before landing back on to the ground; ready to defend against Leone almost instantly. "Lion Gale Force Wall!" Leone began to focus the air pressure under its ball tip, using its rotation to form it into a twister to attack L-Drago.
Ryuga's golden eyes widened in shock as his bey was effected by Kyoya's special move. The dark bey seemed to begin to loose spin speed as it was pulled towards Leones twister. "L-Drago!" He exclaimed in shock and anger towards his opponent. Leones attack soon died down and L-Drago was met with a powerful blow. Kyoya smirked in victory as Ryuga's bey was shoved towards the edge of the stadium, almost sent flying as Leone held it there.
"NO! L-Drago!" Ryuga shouted in disbelief that he might actually lose to the Leone blader.
"It's over Ryuga!" Kyoya called for Leone to break away from L-Drago and deliver another strong attack. "Finish him Leone!"
"No! It's not over, I won't lose to you!" Ryuga scream was heard after that statement as a dark aura surrounded both his body and L-Drago.
"It's not over, in fact, I'm just beginning." A menacing voice hissed as the darkness disappeared and Ryuga's new more devilish form was made visible. A darker dragon appeared around him, releasing a loud roar.
The group of friends worked to catch their breath. Ginga amd Tsubasa stopped their running, causing Yu and Hikaru to stop. "Do you hear that?" Tsubasa looked to Ginga, who noded.
"It sounds like screaming…"Hikaru looked up at the Dark Nebula building in attempt to make anything out through the dark sky and clouds.
"That, but it also sounds like someone battling over there" Ginga directed their attention forward so they could make out a few figures in the distance. A flash of light appeared and a boys call for his special move was heard. The four rushed forward ready to take on the enemy.
As they arrived they watched as a familiar face recalled his bey and turned to face them. "Nile?" Ginga asked, a bit surprised to see him. Nile noded, acknowledging them. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for Kyoya and Madoka. Did you really think you were the only ones looking for them?" Nile cocked an eyebrow. "Kyoya is my best friend and I enjoy Madoka's company."
"But how did you- nevermind we don't have time." Ginga began to run towards the building's entrance with the others, Nile followed.
"Be ready for a fight." Nile warned, "Doji has guys everywhere waiting for us." Gina noded and pulled Pegasus out at the sight of bladers waiting ahead of them. The group launcher they beyblades, beginning the fairly easy battle. Ginga and Tsubasa took out most of the generic beys easily, leaving Hikaru, Yu and Nile to take care of the rest.
They made it into the building pretty easy since there wasn't much security waiting for them at the entrance. Which Tsubasa found very odd. "Ginga, don't you think it was a little too easy to get in here?"
"I guess, but let's just keep going. Something's going on up at the top, whatevers going on up there is giving me a bad feeling." Tsubasa noded and continued through the building.
They hadn't gotten very far when they came to a pair standing in their path. The boys were obviously twins and stood waiting for their challenger. Yu stopped and spoke up, "you guys go on a head. I'll take care of Dan and Reiki!" The younger confidently took his launch stance.
"Are you sure Yu? I'm not sure splitting up is the best idea, especially since we don't know what's going on…" Hikaru stayed back to talk to the Libra blader.
"It's okay! I'll catch up, I'll defeat this guy with no problem."
"Okay, just be carefull." Hikari tossed Yu one more look over her shoulder as she ran to catch up with the others. She Continued further down the halls and stairways. She was almost to the top when she caught sight of Ginga and Nile. "Wait up!" She called catching up to him.
"Took you long enough" Ginga teased playfully.
She rolled her eyes, "now's not the time." Hikaru spotted Tsubasa preparing to battle another boy.
"Okay let's do this Ryutaro!" The Eagle blader shouted, raising his launcher as Tobio did.
"I thought you'd never ask!" The boy smirked.
"Come on, Tsubasa will be fine." Hikaru felt Ginga nudge her ahead.
"Sir, it seems we have intruders in the building." Doji listened as a woman's voice spoke. One of his workers stood in front of him. "Most of them have engaged in battle with our members, but Ginga and two others are making their way to Kyoya and Ryuga."
Doji smirked as he leaned forward a bit to get a better look at the screens in front of him. They showed him how the battle between Kyoya and Ryuga was going. "Everything is going as planned." He watched with content as Ryuga turned the battle around quickly.
"One more thing sir."
"What is it?"
"The girl, she's left her room." Doji let out a sigh of annoyance.
"Where is she?"
"...we're not sure sir, but we've given Reiji the task to find her."
"Good." The man stood up, "if anything else comes up I'll be heading to the battle. I want to see what's about to happen. I have a feeling this will be big."
Kyoya watched in horror as L-Drago pushed Leone around. The lion bey was tossed into the air, landing and being smashed into again. Kyoya called for Leone to try and get away, but L-Drago seemed to always know where Leone was heading and was there to attack. Kyoya couldn't tell, but he was sure Leone was taking a lot of damage. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to hold out much longer. He squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to think of something, anything, to help him turn the tables back in his favor.
"Kyoya!" A voice called out to him. "Kyoya you can do it!" Kyoya's eyes snapped open and he turned to look the doors behind Ryuga.
"Madoka?" He asked, "what are you doing up here!?" The said girl stood with her back pressed against the door, trying to keep whoever was on the other side in.
"Kyoya, I'm sorry, but I could just sit there and wait!" She said. "Don't let Ryuga push you around like that! Cone one I know you can still fight!"
"Madoka…"
The changed Ryuga turned to face her and growled. "Get out of here!" He roared, L-Drago's spirit appearing before her and rushing at her, though the dragon only dissolved as it passed through and around her it was enough the throw her off.
"Leave her alone!" Kyoya growled, signaling for Leone to take its chance to attack. Leone raced forward as beat it could to slam into L-Drago, causing to Dark Bey be pushed back a bit. Ryuga's attention turned back to the battle, ignoring Madoka for now.
Madoka had momentarily forgotten about holding the door closed when L-Drago appeared. This allowed for the doors to be swung open and the mechanic to fall forward and onto her knees. Reiji now stood over her with a angry look.
"Didn't we tell you to stay in your room?" He hissed and lent down to grab hold of her upper arm.
"Let go!" She shouted while grabbing hold of his wrist and trying to pull his grip away.
"Madoka?" Once again Kyoya's focus was drawn to the girl. "Hey!"
"Kyoya pay attention to L-Drago!" The girl demanded. "I've got this. Just finish him, I know you can!" Kyoya balled his fists and called leone over to him. The Beyblade spun somewhat wobbly awaiting its owners command. Kyoya looked at his bey with determination.
"Come one Leone I know you can do this!" Leone responding almost immediately. "Lion Gale Force Wall!" Leone once again began to form its twister, but it appeared not to be as powerful as like usual; probably due to the damage it's taken already.
"Ha! You're too weak to take me on now!" Ryuga laughed and sent L-Drago towards Leone. "Dark move, Dragon Emperor Soaring Destruction!" L-Drago appeared as the two special moves collided, sending smoke and debris everywhere.
"Kyoya!" Madoka called, unable to see either of the boys.a chuckle was heard beside her. Doji had arrived.
"I think we both know whos won." The man smirked looking down at her.
"Kyoya…"
The smoke slowly cleared and Ryuga's body was visible first. He stood still in the evil form he had taken on, a dark purple aura around him. Next you could see the two beys. L-Drago continued to spin proudly, damaged, but still going. Leone had been knocked out of the stadium and was now lying abandoned far from Kyoya. The green bey was was severely damaged, tiny pieces of the fusion wheel slowly chipping off. Soon Madoka caught sight of Kyoya…
A mix between shock and horror crossed her features at the sight. Kyoya stood, eyes wide like he was in pain and a dark purple beam through his body. Madoka began trying to pull free from Reiji, wanting to run up to the boy, wrap her arms around him and just stay like that. She was so afraid of what was happening, she has no idea what is going on. "What's going on? What is that?" she broke away from Reiji finally, but was only able to run up to Ryuga before being grabbed again by him.
Ryuga looked down at her with an angry glint in his eyes. "Stay away from me" He growled lowly. His grip felt like iron against her wrist.
"I…" Madoka tried to avoid his hateful gaze. "I…" Suddenly she felt a small boost of confidence and raised her hand to slap the monstrous was released and pushed back slightly by him. He raised his hand to hold his stinging cheek.
"You!" He glared, but wasn't able to do much more before the doors closest to Kyoya opened. "Madoka!" Hikaru's voice was heard as she ran towards the two. "Get away from him!"
"Ryuga!" Ginga and Nile approached Kyoya, who had fallen to his knees then to the ground moments before. Nile kneeled down to his friend while Ginga stood facing Ryuga. Ginga's eyes scanned over Ryuga's odd appearance, to Reiji and Doji, then to Madoka Madoka's frightened form. Lastly he looked down at Kyoya's injured body. "You monster…" He looked back to Ryuga's face.
He laughed evilly. "Now you notice? Ha!"
"It's not funny! I won't let you hurt my friends anymore!" Ginga pulled Pegasus out, launching so that the blue bey landing opposite of L-Drago.
The boy howled with crazy laughter, "go ahead and try to defeat me! You'll end up just like your friends!" The wind picked up as the two stood facing off. Small droplets of rain fell from the black sky. They both waited to see who would make the first move.
Nile had pulled Kyoya aside by now, trying his best to get him propped against the wall in a somewhat comfortable position. "It'll be okay buddy." He spoke quietly. Hikaru was now facing Reiji, both their beys spinning and clashing with each other in battle."stay away from me and Madoka" she spoke in a threatening tone.
Reiji smirked, "we'll see." Madoka was now backing away and trying to avoid Doji, who was now keen on capturing her and taking her away once again.
"Pegasus!" Ginga cried as his bey zoomed around the stadium, attacking L-Drago fiercely with its power. L-Drago was actually being pushed around fairly easy, likely due to its damage from Leone. Ryuga was beginning to look more and more ticked off as it became clear Ginga would be the winner.
"L-Drago!" The dark bey was covered in a dark aura once again and threw itself recklessly at Pegasus with all the power it could muster up. Pegasus was pushed around and soon sent up in the air with an uppercut move. "Dark move! Soaring Bite Strike!" Ryuga called his special move quickly as Pegasus fell. He laughed, sure of his victory as L-Drago met with Pegasus. A loud explosion was heard, enough to stop Doji for a moment so he could catch a glimpse of the battle. The man grew pale, realization dawning over his features as the smoke cleared to show L-Drago almost spinning to a stop and Pegasus still spinning.
"Wha-what!?" The boy stepped back in shock. "Pegasus is still spinning...how can this be? I'm the strongest! Me! Only me!" The reckless boy cried with a death glare towards Ginga.
"Face it Ryuga, you have lost. You've gotten what was coming to you." Ginga spoke, ready to recall Pegasus without another strike against L-Drago.
"No! I'll show you! Dark move, Dragon Emperor Soaring Destruction!" Ginga was shocked to see the wobbling Dragon bey activate the move.
"Ryuga, stop! Can't you see L-Drago's done for? You can't possibly do that to him!" Ginga watched as Pegasis was thrown back into the sky. The winds caused both beys to shake. The rain had picked up. Ginga clenched his fists, "Starblast Attack!" Pegasus slowly steadied itself as it soared in the air. Pegasus's spirit appeared as L-Drago's did, both collided with each other with a bang and smoke filled the air.
By now Doji had abandoned is efforts to catch Madoka and left the rooftop. He raced down the stairwells, wanting to get away from the scene. Reiji followed after his boss, leaving Hikaru mid battle and chasing after him. "Get back here you cowards! Not even going yo face what you've done!" Hikaru frowned. Nile left Kyoya's side and approached Madoka, who was standing shakily to the side.
"Madoka, he's asking for you." He spoke calmly. "He can talk too much, but he wants you by his side." Madoka noded slowly, letting the events that just went down process in her head.
"Okay…" she spoke quietly, quickly moving to the green haired boys side. "Kyoya" She said quietly to not wanting to wake him, not that the battle wasn't going to wake him. She sat close to him with a worried expression. She brushed his bangs out off his face and laid her head on his shoulder.
Meanwhile the smoke cleared to reveal Pegasus spinning shakily in the center of the stadium. L-Drago had stopped spinning as soon as Pegasus and it made contact. The dark bey lay damaged on the ground.
"No...I lost…" Ryuga grabbed his head in pain as the dark aura came back, slowly he began to revert back to his usual human look. The boy groaned and clenched his teeth, falling to his knees. The L-Drago blader seemed to slowly fall unconscious, eventually falling back onto the ground.
"We did it…" Ginga watched with wide eyes. He looked around to see Tsubasa and Yu joining in the doorway. He noticed Madoka huddled next to an unconscious Kyoya. Hikaru and Nile joined him by his side.
"Are you okay?" Nole asked, "you look worn out." Hikaru noded in agreement.
"I'm fine, just…" Ginga looked down, "let's just go home."
