Gingka: I have something to say before I give the disclaimer. First, GalaxyPegasus14 is not here, she is too busy stalking You Tube for the episode I am supposed to return in, which is not official yet. Second, she would like to thank The-Silver-Butterfly1500, SkylarkOfTheMoon, and ANimEisAweSOmE4400 for being the most consistent reviewers on this whole story! You guys rock, having reviewed almost every chapter in the story so far! Also, it looks like it's just me and Anashi running this thing today, as Ryuga is off sulking because the authoress seems to have brought back a certain character who happens to have "died" twice in the anime. And now for the disclaimer!
Anashi: GalaxyPegasus14 does not own Metal Fight Beyblade. Also, if you have not yet done so, go read "Stormflight: Together We Stand", her newest (and really her favorite so far) story!
Doji: fear me!
Gingka: give me one good reason to, Doji, and I wont kick you out of the room.
King was pacing. No, seriously, he was really pacing. Zeo was having to stay out of the way as the Legend Blader stomped back and forth in the small room they had been locked in, not noticing the walls until he ran into one, then changing course.
I found a jellyfish on the shore!
Foxe, keep going.
But it tastes good!
Foxe!
Ok, ok, I'm going! Can I go taste that painting you were talking about when I get back?
Maybe, if you ever actually get there! Now scoot!
Running now!
Good, now don't stop until you reach the dungeon-
Ooh a bird! I love birds!
Foxe!
Realigning course now!
How close are you?
I'm there!
Good, now find-
TOOBYYYY!
-at the dungeon gym-
Toby suddenly found himself pinned under a ecstatic Spiral Foxe, who handed him something before sitting down and wagging his tail, obviously very pleased with himself.
"eww! Foxe! What is this?" Toby shouted, dropping the half-chewed jellyfish the blue fox had dropped into his hands.
He doesn't seem to appreciate it very much
Foxe, it wasn't something weird, I gave you a jump drive!
Oh, I gave him the jellyfish.
Foxe! I don't know why I trusted you with this…
Foxe handed Toby the jump drive, then sat down, staring as his paws in shame.
"I suppose this is what you were supposed to give me in the first place?" Toby said, looking at it
Foxe nodded, wagging his tail.
"alright, good boy! There's a fish in the fridge for you. And if you wouldn't mind getting rid of this jellyfish… Masamune! Power up the LBA website! Zeo sent us something!"
"on it!" Masamune called, running downstairs and tossing a fish to Foxe.
Toby excitedly plugged the jump drive in, only to be greeted by a set of numbers and the LBA site informing him that the jump drive was the one that activated the color change function in Zeo's suit and had all the contact information for the LBA in it.
"if he sent this to us that means something went wrong!" Masamune exclaimed. "remember what Gingka said when we first joined the LBA?"
"yes, it was 'if you ever get captured while on a mission, send this chip to the nearest safe LBA outpost using your bey' that means he either got captured or worse! We have to call HQ!" Toby said, running into his room to get his uniform on. "you call them, I'll mark down their location with Foxe's help!"
A couple of minutes later, Foxe, along with Toby and Lyra, was headed down to the beach to rescue Zeo.
Were coming now master! And I got fish!
Good, now be careful! Ares has been reporting to King, we are in the center of the building, go through Jack's Arrangement room to reach us. Report that to Lyra and Toby, ok?
Got it! Jacks arrangement, report to Lyra and Toby!
"Masamune, you there? I'm going in, is that signal amplifier plugged in? you have a connection?"
"of course it is! I'm not stupid!"
"good, tell me immediately if you start to lose connection" Toby replied, watching as Foxe told something to Lyra. (A/N: I looked it up on Beyblade wiki, and they said that Lyra's constellation involves an eagle holding a lyre, so that is what I made its beast here)
The eagle bounded over to Toby to relay the message.
Foxe says that Zeo said to go through Jacks Arrangement room and go to the center, where tey are being held
"alright, thanks Lyra" Toby replied. "you two ready?" his question was met by answering nods from the two beys, who immediately dove in and started swimming. Toby grabbed onto the strap that was holding the lyre onto his beloved eagle's back and allowed it to pull him downward.
Watch out for floating seaweed, Zeo says that's what caught us Foxe barked to Lyra, who relayed the message to Toby.
"alright you two, we go in in stealth mode then. Go around to the other side of the city. Foxe, lead the way!" he ordered.
Foxe barked and swam faster, eager to get there first.
"Masamune, can you still hear me? I'm going in, repeat, I'm going in"
"loud and clear Toby old pal! Good luck! Call me and Striker if you need anything!" he was cut off by a loud whinny from the mentioned bey.
"will do. See you!" Toby signaled to Foxe and Lyra, quieting them as the three moved in. they took a more stealthy approach then King and Zeo had, sneaking along behind rocks, debris, anything they could find to avoid detection. They made it in safely, without seeing any trace of seaweed or Kerbecs.
-meanwhile, back in Koma Village-
Gingka had returned and was taking a nap on the couch. Anashi was playing with her bey on the floor, spinning it by hand and ordering it to go around the leg of the coffee table, wondering when it would be her turn to take the world by storm with her new-found friends, who were out in the backyard training, battling against Ryo, who was greatly amusing them with his "Immortal Phoenix" act.
"I know you hold many secrets Flame, just how can I unlock them?" she muttered, getting up and going into the backyard to battle with the others.
"Anashi, you, me, battle, now." Ryo said as soon as she entered the backyard.
"Fine, stadium, bey, launcher, go." Anashi replied.
A couple of seconds later, two beys were spinning.
"which one is which? Its really hard to tell them apart!" Shinobu whispered to Zero.
"no idea, just watch which one flies when they tell it to." Zero whispered back.
"guys, think for a moment, Anashi's bey is an attack type, Mr. Hagani's is a stamina type. Fireblaze therefore is the one in the middle, with Flame circling the outside." Maru said.
"oh, ok" Zero and Shinobu said at once.
"Flame, jump!" Anashi yelled, sending her bey into action.
"follow it Fireblaze!" Ryo ordered. The flaming bird leapt off its perch on the edge of the stadium and soared up into the sky.
"Flame, do it now! Flaming Star Crush Dive!" Anashi called.
"Burning Fire Strike!" Ryo countered.
The two beys met in midair, neither giving way to the other.
"you can do it Flame! don't give up! Keep going! We can beat him this time!" suddenly, something changed in her bey. Nearly the entire back yard caught fire as Flame Pegasus suddenly overwhelmed Burn Fireblaze, knocking it to the ground.
Gingka's Pegasus quickly reacted, soaring down from where she had been lying on the roof and putting out the fire with Storm Bringer. Anashi caught her bey out of the air as it flew back to her, then began examining it. As she caught sight of the jeweled eyes that were now on her face bolt, a huge variety of horse noises greeted her ears.
"looks like you have done it Anashi! You achieved one of the greatest rewards a blader could ever gain!" Ryo said, pointing to not one, but two Pegasi seated in the middle of the yard. The already-familiar Big Bang Pegasus was greeting the newly-arrived Flame Pegasus, who was sitting down, just staring at its surroundings.
Anashi approached the orange horse nervously. "Flame?" it turned its head in her direction and nickered.
"Anashi, you have to reach out with your mind to understand it" Gingka said from the back porch.
"ok" Anashi replied
Flame?
Yes mistress? a male voice cut into her mind.
Wow, ok, that worked. Umm… how's it going?
I'm not really sure… if you don't mind me asking, where are we? And who is this other Pegasus that keeps talking to me? I feel power emanating from her every word.
We are in my hometown of Koma Village, in the backyard. The other Pegasus who keeps talking to you is the bey of my older brother, her name is Big Bang Pegasus.
The Big Bang Pegasus? Are you serious?
Yes, entirely
Gingka watched the changing expressions on Anashi and Flame Pegasus's faces, amused at the looks of surprise, awkwardness, and shock as they conversed for the first time both ways.
Can I go get something to eat?
You just ate about an hour ago Pegasus
But I'm hungry again! Pegasi have to keep their energy up you know.
Fine, just don't eat in the village,. You know the rules.
Ok!
Pegasus flew away with Flame watching her, the orange Pegasus seemed slightly awed.
Her power is seriously amazing! I knew that the Legendary Beys held enormous power, but I never really knew how it would feel to another bey.
Yeah, that's kinda the way she rolls. Hey, want me to show you around, figure out how this whole thing works?
Of course mistress, that would be delightful. Shall I carry you on my back?
Are you up to it?
Of course! I don't have wings for nothing
The winged horse stood up.
Umm… any preferences as to how I should mount?
Not in particular, except be careful with my wings please.
Alright.
Gingka watched as Anashi carefully climbed onto Flame's back, then called Pegasus back so he could follow, just to make sure that their first flight together didn't become dangerous. Anashi watched her older brother as he mounted easily, obviously having gotten very skilled at it. Suddenly she realized what Flame had meant when he spoke of the power that Gingka's Pegasus held. Compared to the powerfully built horse that Gingka was seated on, hers looked like a Shetland pony.
"ready for a flying lesson?" Gingka asked.
"flying lesson?"
"yeah, there are a few things you should know, so if you two don't mind, I will follow you on your first flight, show you the ropes of riding."
"ok, fine with me. Flame?"
Yes, that would be very much alright with me.
"alright then, lets go!" Anashi said excitedly.
Zero and the others watched, slightly jealous, as Anashi and Gingka took off.
"now we have a higher bar to reach, if a blader our age can do that, we can too!" Shinobu exclaimed.
"yeah! Can you help us please, Mr. Hagani?" Ren asked.
"of course! First, as you mentioned Gingka already explained, you must attain a full connection with your bey. I know the perfect place to go to try that out, a place both Gingka and Anashi have trained at."
"where?" Zero asked.
"the forest behind the village of course! And I, the Immortal Phoenix, would be more than happy to lead you there"
Gingka: So, there is the fifteenth chapter of The Mysterious LBA! Although, by now, it isn't really all that mysterious anymore.
Doji: FEAR ME!
Gingka: honestly, I don't, you are just getting weird and creepy now.
Ryuga: well, at least you didn't have to run an organization with him.
Gingka: you could have just fired him
Ryuga: aww man! Why didn't I think of that?
Gingka: actually, you were pretty stupid back then. Even today, you still are sometimes
Me: ooh, burn….
Ryuga: what did you just say
Gingka: nothing…
Me: anyway, before I close out this chapter, id like to give a shout-out to Chidsengan. If you have not, you should go read her story, Adýnama Tha Kerdísei:Weak Shall Win. It is simply AMAZING and she is really good at developing the plot of the story overall. Also, if you have ANY questions, feel free to ask! There is no such thing as a stupid question! That's all for now, until next time, Let it Rip!
