Sorry I haven't updated in so long! I was on vacation and stuff, I am starting school this Monday, so I may not be able to update every week, but I will try for Saturday or Sunday updates. As usual, read and review!
Anashi: and GalaxyPegasus14 only owns me and the LBA! Nothing else!
Pegasus: neiighghgh!
Me: -sweat drop- you two…..
-one hour later-
Madoka entered the LBA building. Hikaru glanced up, not surprised to see her, and walked over. After a short greeting, Hikaru directed Madoka up to the Blader's Lounge where she assumed Gingka was. A couple of minutes later, they were greeted at the door by an angry Ryuga, who stormed past, headed for his floor. L-Drago stuck her tongue out and blew a small fireball at Kyoya as she followed Ryuga out. Madoka clapped a hand over her mouth to avoid screaming at the sight of the dragon.
"don't worry, they are all like this" Hikaru whispered. "it took some time for me to get used to it."
"I can see why" Madoka replied, glancing over at the counter, where Pegasus and Quetzalcoatl were drinking milk out of a bowl. Pegasus glanced up and nickered, trotting over to Madoka and nuzzling her. Madoka's eyes grew wide and she froze, then reached out and touched Pegasus's nose. Feeling something winding through her legs, she glanced down to see Quetzalcoatl smiling up at her. Leone growled quietly and swatted a large paw at Jupiter's wings, which were in his face. Madoka gulped. Pegasus gently nudged her towards the door.
"I think she wants you to follow her" Hikaru said.
"umm, ok" Madoka replied. "see you later Hikaru."
Hikaru nodded and went back down to the lobby. Madoka followed Pegasus into the elevator, where Pegasus pressed several buttons before hitting the right one. She pressed a large red one next, and whinnied into a microphone. "you did it again?" Gingka's voice came through the speaker. Pegasus whinnied. "ok, ok, im on it" seconds later, all of the buttons except for the right one switched off. Madoka wondered how Gingka could understand what Pegasus was saying. But then, she was his bey after all. Getting off the elevator on Gingka and Pegasus's floor, Madoka followed Pegasus to her room. She stepped in and gasped. It was beautiful! She gazed at the waterfall, then looked around and noticed that Pegasus had disappeared. She walked over to the pool and looked in. satisfied that there was nothing in there, she took off her shoes and dipped her feet in. a couple of minutes and a whole aerial display later, Pegasus joined her, diving into the pool and disappearing behind the waterfall. Madoka sat quietly wondering where the winged horse had gone. Pegasus suddenly leapt out of the pool and soared into the mist above. Madoka turned as she heard the door behind her slide open. Gingka came and joined her.
"ready for that tour now?" he asked. Madoka nodded, blushing slightly as she took Gingka's hand and stood.
"where to first?"
"I was thinking my office, then go down floor by floor from there" Gingka replied.
"sounds good to me" Madoka said, blushing even more as she stared into Gingka's golden-brown eyes. Gingka turned and lead the way.
-a couple of minutes later-
Gingka was showing Madoka around his office when the phone rang. "just a second" he said, picking up the phone. "hello?….no, she isn't with me right now… ill have her come up here and call you back, ok?…. Ok, see you later, bye" he pressed a button on his keyboard, calling Anashi. "Anashi, can you come up to my office? Dad just called and I told him I would have you call him back in a second." he released the button and continued the tour. 2 floors and one Jupiter vs. Dunamis staring contest later, Gingka grabbed some dinner with Madoka in Pegasus's paradise room. After that, It was on to Leone and Kyoya's floor. Gingka entered stealthily, motioning to Madoka to be quiet and not alert Leone. Moving through the jungle, they reached a small waterfall. Gingka went behind it, and Madoka followed. Inside, Leone pounced on Gingka, catching him off guard Madoka let out a little scream. "ok, ok, you got me back from earlier, now get off!" Gingka said, shoving the lion into the river through the waterfall. "he's just a big cat" he said, dusting himself off. heading back out, they encountered Leone again, but he was stalking Kyoya, who had just gotten back from a recent assignment. Heading down another floor, they visited outer space and the constellation of Orion, who was flying around randomly and knocking stuff over. Yet another floor down, Madoka watched, surprised at Ryuga's complete change of personality as he rolled down the mountain, repeating the scene from earlier as Gingka rolled into him. Madoka took a deep breath and rolled down, knocking both Legend Bladers over on top of each other. They all got up laughing and Ryuga ran around the mountain in response to a roaring request for help from a tangled L-Drago. Later, Gingka got hit in the face with a flaming arrow, which incidentally didn't hurt as much as he thought it would. Kenta apologized for Sagittario as the centaur continued firing at all the targets on the walls. Gingka pulled Madoka out of the way as one arrow came flying at her while Kenta yelled at Sagittario to stop. The two left, and headed down another floor to visit King and Ares. Once there, they found King wrestling with Titi, who was losing, and Ares attempting to wrestle with Quetzalcoatl, who had him tied up around a pillar. Gingka jumped in to help Titi, and he and the hyperactive young blader soon had King pinned. Madoka meanwhile, was trying to figure out how to untie Quetzalcoatl, who was sitting there grinning at her sheepishly, having gotten itself into yet another knot around Ares, who had given up struggling. Gingka came to help, and Titi pushed both of them aside and had Quetzalcoatl untied in seconds. After chasing Titi and Quetz back to their floor and touring it, getting glared at by Kronos, (creepy 0.0) pranking Yuki and Anubis, and chatting with Pegasus, Madoka went home, although she still couldn't figure out how Gingka understood whatever it was that Pegasus was saying. She arrived at the B-Pit to find Mal already asleep. Madoka climbed the stairs and went to bed, quickly falling asleep and dreaming about Gingka…
-at the LBA-
Gingka and the other Legend Bladers were all in Ryuga's volcano room, sliding down the mountain. Titi was running inside Quetzalcoatl, who had managed to roll itself up into a ball and was rolling down the mountain next to Ryuga and L-Drago, racing to see who could knock over a dizzy Gingka and Pegasus first. L-Drago won, and Gingka got up and fell over again, completely dizzy from all the rolling he had been doing. Pegasus whinnied in annoyance as Quetzalcoatl barreled into her, knocking her over for a second time. Leone was dodging Sagittario's arrows as the two raced down the hill, and King was climbing up Ares's back for a better view of Dunamis and Jupiter's staring contest. Hours later, all ten bladers were lying at the bottom of the steep hill, completely dizzy. "can't the room stop spinning already?" Chris muttered. Ryuga groaned. "L-Drago, cut that out….." L-Drago looked at him confusedly, wondering what she was doing. Leone growled as Pegasus stepped on his tail accidentally, unable to walk straight. Titi was attempting to do cartwheels, but couldn't get up. Quetzalcoatl was trying to help him by flying in circles around his head as he tried to clear his head. Gingka was falling over for the 397th time (Pegasus was counting), and Kenta was mumbling something about pink kittens. Kyoya was singing some random song that he was obviously making up as he went as Hikaru walked in the room, wondering what was going on. King stared at her confusedly, still dizzy. Kenta's mumbling changed to blue kittens once he saw her, and L-Drago was staring into Ryuga's eyes. Hikaru gave out orders to the beys, and each picked up their bladers and went to bed. L-Drago rolled Ryuga back up the mountain into the cave at the top, making him even more dizzy.
-the next morning-
Gingka woke up and rolled over, wondering where he was and why he was not in his pajamas. He fell off the platform that Pegasus had put him on, and she caught him as he fell. Once they were on the ground, Gingka dismounted and went to take a shower, ready for another long day in his office.
-a couple of hours later-
Gingka was in his office, filing reports on the recent battle with Nemesis, when he received a new report from Masamune, who had gone to America after the battle. Gingka glanced over it carelessly, when something caught his eye. He turned his full attention to it, and read it thoroughly. He reached over and called King up to his office. A couple of minutes later, the still-tired blader walked into his office.
"what is it?" he asked.
"I need you to go to America and help Masamune, Toby and Zeo follow up on this report." Gingka replied, handing King the information. "can you be ready in an hour?"
"sure, I just need to get a shower and-"
"then go do it, ill have a helicopter waiting for you"
King left the room and Gingka sat back down at his desk to file more reports. Yet another caught his eye, this one from Hyoma in Koma village. "Hyoma doesn't usually ask me for help with Koma affairs" Gingka thought, opening the file. His eyes widened. "ughh, you have got to be kidding me? How is that even possible!" Gingka muttered. "this one will require me going most likely…..who can I leave in charge….. It would have to be Ryuga as he is technically the second in command…wait a second!" he called Anashi up.
"I need Ren, Zero, Mal and Shinobu here, I am sending you on a mission with them." he said. Anashi saluted and went to find her friends.
"I wonder why he wants me to find them….. I hope its not anything silly like taking out the trash….. But then, Yuki recently invented an automatic system for that…. Oh well, better head to Bey Park first." she thought
-at bey park-
"There they are! Zero! Shinobu! Ren! Mal!" Anashi called. She was quickly surrounded by a swarm of young bladers, all clamoring for a battle with her. "no, I cant battle you right now, maybe another time…no seriously, I didn't come here to battle, I came here to find those three. Why? that's classified." Anashi enjoyed using her position as an LBA agent to make excuses when she didn't want to talk. After fighting her way through the crowd, she shouted at the others to meet her at Bull Burger ASAP. Five minutes later, they all arrived.
"so, why did you pull us away from battling?" Zero asked.
"Gingka wants you guys" Anashi replied. "he said we are going on a mission together! All five of us!"
"really? No way, are you serious!" they all said at once.
Anashi nodded. "come on, lets go!" she said. Once they arrived at the LBA, Hikaru immediately directed them up to Gingka's office. Once they got there, Gingka greeted them all, and asked them if they would be willing to work for the LBA for a while. They all agreed, and he told them to go down to Yuki's floor to get their suits made. Anashi remained behind to get their mission assignment. Mal freaked out when Anubis answered the door again, and led them to Yuki's lab again. Yuki measured all four of them, then told them that their basic suits would be ready in about an hour. They hung out in Anubis's temple with the bey and chatted, laughing every time Anubis turned into a statue. An hour later, Yuki called them into his workshop and handed them their suits so they could try them on, telling them that Gingka would give them a squad assignment later. Anashi came down and handed Yuki the details of their mission, and he quickly had them outfitted with the gear they would need to get to Koma and investigate. A couple of minutes later, Gingka entered their names into his computer, and assigned them as squad 11, then told them to battle it out to decide who would be the leader of the squad. Mal stayed back while the others battled it out in an older style stadium, as the LBA had not gotten a Zero-G stadium yet. Gingka explained to her what she would get to do, as she was not a blader, but was still a part of the squad, then recommended getting a bey for protection purposes. Zero meanwhile, had won the battle, and was named squad leader. Gingka sent them off to train, and told them he wanted them to leave on their assignment tonight, Kyoya was waiting for them in the training room to help them train and teach them how to do the obstacle course.
-in the training room-
"you guys are late! I have been waiting for you for a while now! What took you so long? Get to work now! Start on the obstacle course, first obstacle, then practice dodging for an hour!" Kyoya shouted.
Zero gulped and leapt into the moat, not liking the Legend Blader's attitude. Anashi quickly got on top of one of the obstacles heads, then shouted out advice as the wooden dummy tried to buck her off. She finally fell, and dodged a punch from the victorious dummy. Ren was busy climbing out of the moat for the third time, and Zero already had a bruise forming on his arm from a punch. Shinobu was doing quite well, but was still getting hit fairly often. After a full hour, Kyoya blew a whistle and stopped the machines. "15 minute break, then the rock wall!" he called.
Zero helped Ren out of the moat, panting. Shinobu climbed out of the moat and led the group to the lounge, where Kyoya had laid out some snacks for them. 15 short minutes later, they tackled the rock wall, climbing it for a full hour before another break. After that, it was on to the bars and platforms. Kyoya made them try it until they had all flipped onto at least one platform off of a bar. Anashi flipped through all of the platforms easily. "showoff" Ren muttered under her breath.
Zero managed to flip onto a platform within an hour, Ren landing on top 5 minutes later. It took Shinobu a full two hours of trying before he made it, and by then, Zero and Ren were getting it about every other try. Mal sat and watched, practicing with a bey in the stadium. She was finally getting the hang of it, and had managed to get the bey to go in the direction she wanted it to. Looking up from the stadium, she jumped, finding herself facing a curious winged horse. Pegasus glanced over at the obstacle course, and snorted in laughter as she watched Zero, Shinobu and Ren all fall at the same time. After dinner, they met Gingka up at the top of the building and he gave them their full assignment.
"you guys are going to go to Koma Village and investigate a report I got from Hyoma. He thinks he saw a triple-headed dragon in the area. It resembled Lightning L-Drago, but I am fairly sure that it isn't possible for that to happen. Still, we are going to investigate it anyway. Your pilot will take you there and return for you in one week. If you are done investigating, you will come back here, if not, you will stay for another week. Got it?" the newly-formed Squad 11 nodded. Gingka handed Mal a bey and launcher. "here, this is for your protection. You do not have to use it, but you may need it at some point. Alright guys, one more thing. If you do somehow actually meet Lightning L-Drago, you are not to battle it. Period. If you run into it, call me immediately, understood?" they all nodded, and Anashi led the way onto the helicopter.
