After The Battle Between Hikaru And Kenta... Benkei Confronted The Saggitario Blader.
"So. You're Gingka Hagane, are you?" Benkei questioned.
"You dont look like him." He said to Kenta, who was on his hands and knees.
"Stand up!" He ordered. But Kenta didn't move a muscle.
"Stand up I said! Come on!" Benkei said as he grabbed Kenta by the shirt and pulled him up.
"You thought you were so smart using Gingka's name! And now you're in a big mess, aren't ya! Smart move, Einstein! What are you gonna do now?! Doesn't sound like a good plan, does it?!" He said before he dropped Kenta on the ground. Kenta landed on his back.
"So since you have no plan, lets think of one so you can finish what you started." Benkei Sighs.
"Huh?" Kenta said as he sat up.
"Feel bad about losing? Then come back here tomorrow. I'll give you some training. Okay, kid?" Benkei said.
"Huh? But-but...why would a face hunter like you help me?" Kenta asked.
"Dont ask." Benkei said before stomping his foot. "Just be here!"
Kenta looked on at Benkei for a moment. "I don't know why." He spoke.
"Benkei..." Kenta said.
"WHY AM I GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS?!" Benkei shouted. He then turned around. "I'm okay. I'm good. Just be here on time, okay? That's all." He said.
"I cant control this odd feeling. I'm actually being...nice. Why? He's just like i was in the past." Benkei thought.
He the walked away. "Get it together. Dust yourself off. Man up, Kenta." He Turned To The Boy.
"Benkei." Kenta said.
Inside Beypark, a bey battle is taking place Between Osamu And Hyper Wolf And Gingka.
"Go! Keep going, now corner him! Go, go, go!" Osamu told his bey.
"Nice try, boys. Not today." Gingka said.
Pegasus then knocked Osamu's bey out of the stadium.
"Whoa! That was so close!" Takashi said.
"You still got a ways to go, buddy." Gingka said.
"Gee, Gingka. Your Cleaning Up As Usual. said Sora.
"Thanks, Sora." Gingka said.
"Everyone is getting a lot stronger. Osamu's defensive power's up three percent. And his attack power's up by 15 percent, see?" Madoka said as she typed on her laptop. "The Same Goes For Takashi And Akira. After Their Beys Broke Against Tetsuya. They Finally Wanted An Upgrade And Got Metal Wheel Beys. Hyper Wolf, Fury Leone, And Dark Raven."
Osamu, Takashi, And Akira Showed Their Beys.
Gingka just whistled. "Man, that's some Improved power."
"Wow, that's wicked. Must be cause we're battling everyday with our new skills. Pretty soon we wont be losing to Kenta." Osamu said.
"Kenta? Forget him. We wanna get so strong to be the first to beat Gingka, Naruto OR Sakura!" Takashi said.
"I don't see that happening anytime soon." Sora Whistled.
"Sora!" Madoka scolded.
"Well I don't." Suzanne states.
"Haha! That's the spirit." Gingka said.
"Hey. Where's Kenta, anyway?" He asked as he looked around.
"And Naruto And Sakura For That Matter? They Haven't Come Back Since Their Battle With Yu... Sora What Happened? Did You Win?" Madoka Asks Him.
"I Got Absolutely Trashed." Sora Sighs Surprising Them A Bit.
"Really?" GIngka Asks.
"Yea... His Libra Is Crazy Powerful! A Stamina Type With Surprisingly Great Mobility And Attack Power. And He Only Showed Me Like 20% Of His Actual Power! He Even Blocked My Special Move. God!" Sora Grumbles.
"He Sounds Really Strong!" Gingka Smiles.
"He Left With Naruto And Sakura To Grab Food I Think..." Sora Shrugged. "Speaking Of Food, I Should Eat Lunch. See Ya!" Sora Runs Out.
"OK Then..." Gingka Nods As He And Madoka Leave Too.
Gingka And Madoka are walking on the riverbank, Looking For Kenta And The Narusaku Duo.
"Now that you mention it, Kenta hasn't been at beypark for a while." Madoka said.
"I hope nothing's happened to him." Gingka said.
"Well maybe he caught your cold, Gingka." Madoka said.
"Ah. Look there." Madoka said as she looked down at the riverbank.
"Huh?" Gingka said as They Both looked down at the riverbank with Madoka. They saw a scratched-up Kenta running.
"There he is." Gingka said.
"Yeah, but what's with all those scratches all over his body?" Madoka asked.
"Beats me." Gingka shrugged.
"Hey! Kenta!" Gingka shouted causing Kenta to stop in his tracks.
He looked up at the top of the riverbank and saw Gingka And Madoka.
"Huh? Gingka And Madoka." Kenta said.
"Where are you off to in such a big hurry?" Madoka asked.
"Nowhere special." Kenta said.
"Hmm. How'd you get all those scrapes?" Gingka asked.
"Scrapes? Uh, what scrapes? Oh these are nothing." Kenta said.
"It sure doesn't look like nothing." Gingka said. "Is there something you're not telling me?" He asked.
Kenta started to sweat.
"Oh. It your special move, isn't it? I get it." Madoka said.
"A special move?" Gingka questioned.
"Yep. Kenta said he wants to create a special move for Saggitario. Just like you have for Pegasus." Madoka said. "He must be working on that all by himself. Isn't that right, Kenta?"
"Well..." Kenta Said.
"Oh so that's what you're up to. In that case, can I give you a hand?" Gingka said.
"No, no, no! I don't need any help! It's fine. So just leave me alone, okay?" Kenta said.
"Kenta. Wait." Gingka said as he grabbed Kenta by the wrist, causing him to unknowingly drop his pointer.
"I'm telling you it's nothing! Goodbye!" Kenta said as he ran off.
"Gee, what was that all about?" Gingka asked.
He bent down and picked Up Kenta's Beypointer. It now had zero points on it.
"Kenta's points are down to zero." Gingka said.
"But i thought Kenta had over 2000 points." Madoka said.
"Hmm. Something's wrong here." Gingka said.
"Somethings differently wrong." Madoka added.
"What should we do?" Gingka asked.
"If we follow him, we'll figure it out. Well, let's go, Watson." Madoka said before running off after Kenta.
"How come you get to be Sherlock?" Gingka asked As He Meekly Follows As Tsubasa Was Perched Atop A Building Munching On Chips With A Eagle.
"So... Who's Gonna Tell Him About What Kenta Did? Will He Be Upset? I Wonder..." Tsubasa Thought As He Saw Madara Watch Them Too.
"That Guy Looks Suspicious... Could He Work With Them... No... That Robe Doesn't Look Like Something They Would Wear." Tsubasa Thought Again As Madara Observed. Tsubasa Looks Away And Commands His Feathered Friend To Fly With Him.
"Bingo." Madara Said As He Flew Over The City.
Meanwhile... The Trio Of Naruto, Sakura, And Yu Were Currently At The Park Eating As Yu Practiced By Himself.
"I Can't Believe You Were Just Left In The Desert Like That... Without Adult Supervision No Less." Sakura Said As Yu Shrugs.
"Adults Are Dumb Anyways. They Always Took Away My Candy And Toys Cause I Did Bad Stuff." Yu Said.
"What Type Of Bad Stuff?" Naruto Asks.
"Just Pranks! I Painted Their Houses, Let Out Chickens Everywhere, And Scared The People With Libra's Spirit On Halloween!" Yu Complains.
"Pranks Huh?" Naruto Chuckles To Himself. Yu Reminded Him Of His Younger Self.
It Was Amusing To Hear That Yu Was Just A Tender Soul... Yet To Be Ruined By The Possible Future Decisions He Would Make.
"You Wanted Attention Didn't You?" Sakura Said As Yu Nodded.
"Yep! Me And My Sister Were Weird According To The Other Kids. So... I Used To Go To The Desert To Hang Out And Train!" Yu Explains.
"I See. Well... No Wonder Your Strong." Naruto Nods As Yu Jumps Around.
"Then One Day. I Was Bored And Packed My Bags And Took Libra With Me. I Was Going On An Adventure! And Here I Am!" Yu Cheerfully Said As Naruto Couldn't Help But Continue To Sympathize With This Boy.
Why Were They Alike? Was This Fate Or Something? Like His Wish To Become Hokage? Was THAT Even Fate?
What Is Fate?
Naruto Was Snapped Awake By Sakura As The Latter Just Tilted Her Head In Response.
"What Is It?" Sakura Asks.
"Yu... I Just Feel Like... He's Definitely An Interesting Guy For Sure... And His Skill Is Insane. He'd Make A Good Ally." Naruto Said.
"That's For Sure." Sakura Agrees. "Hey Yu."
"Hmmmm..." Yu Tilts His Head As He Caught Libra.
"Lets Go Visit Our Friends. They Maybe... We Can Battle!" Naruto Pumps His Fist.
"Oh! Yes! I've Always Wanted To Battle You Too! That's Why I'm Growing Stronger And Stronger!" Yu Said As He Runs Up To Them.
"That's Great! Well... Keep Training And Maybe You'll Become Strong Enough To Beat Us Both!" Naruto Encourages.
Kenta Is Seen Running Across Town As He Was To Meet Benkei.
"Gingka... I just can't tell you. I foolishly battled in Your place. And I lost. You'd never understand this." He thought.
He Arrived Where Benkei is waiting inside the bey colosseum.
"Huh? You're back." He said.
"I've been having secret training sessions with Benkei everyday since then." Kenta ran inside the colosseum and ran up to Benkei.
"I thought you'd given up a long time ago, kid. Guess you're tougher then i figured. So lets start today's session." Benkei said With A Smirk.
"Yes sir." Kenta said.
"First pushups." Benkei said.
"Let's go. Yeah." Kenta said.
He and Benkei were now doing pushups.
"95. Feel the burn. 96. No pain. 97. No gain." Kenta then feel flat on his face.
"You're almost there. Only 3000 more to go." Benkei said.
He and Kenta were now running. "Next up. The 100 meter dash. 100 times." Benkei said as he and Kenta ran.
Gingka And Madoka are watching The Training from behind an opening part of the colosseum.
"It's Benkei." Madoka said. "What's he doing hanging out with Kenta?"
"Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?" Gingka questioned.
Kenta was pulling two tires tide to his waistline by a rope while Benkei rode a bike. Benkei was Then holding Kenta's legs while Kenta walked on his hands. He was later lifting a weight with both hands.
"What are they doing down there? Training?" Gingka asked.
"Yeah, Guess So." Madoka added.
Kenta was now on his hands and knees, catching his breath.
"Again! You cant shoot beyblades hard enough with those nubby knees." Benkei said.
Kenta then looked at him.
"Your biggest weakness is that you don't have enough power! If you wanna prove me wrong, stand up! Stand up and show me you're fighting spirit!" Benkei Commands.
Kenta got to his feet and charged at Benkei.
"Who's got nubby knees?! I won't lose! I won't quit!" Benkei threw Kenta on the ground.
"I wont stop until i beat Hik-ah!" Benkei threw him to the ground again.
"Become stronger! But Gingka must never know!" Kenta said as he charged at Benkei.
"I understand. The fact that you battled in Gingka's place and were defeated is your mistake. Your business. I'm no snitch." Benkei said as he held Kenta back with one hand on his head and holding one of his arms. He then threw Kenta high into the air.
"What impresses me, is how you are determined to beat Hikaru and are not giving up." Benkei said. He then charged at Kenta. "So, I'll help you. It's man to man. Promise!"
"Benkei!" Kenta said before putting his hands up.
"Hikaru? Who is that?" Madoka asked.
"I don't know. But we have to let Kenta play this one out." Gingka said.
"Huh?" Madoka said
"Whoever Hikaru is. The battle means a lot to Kenta. We can't interfere. Benkei's made a man to man promise to help Kenta out." Gingka said.
"Huh? That's a funny way to help him." Madoka sweats.
"Alright. Next we'll use our beys for the real battle training." Benkei said.
Kenta now had a metal devise strapped to his body. "Beyblade is fighting spirit!"
"If you insist." Kenta said.
"The more you put into it, the more power you will get out of it, Kenta." Benkei Continued To Chant.
"Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit!" Benkei and Kenta shouted in unison.
Meanwhile, lying at the top of the stairs was a brown cloak.
"Crabby." Said Tetsuya as he poked his head out of the brown cloak and watched Kenta and Benkei train.
"Hmm. So that's how it is, crabs. Crabby." He then laughed crazily As He Scuttled Away.
Hikaru is Seen standing at the docks That Night.
"Gingka Hagane. He wasn't as strong an opponent as I'd hoped." She thought. She then looked at her bey she held in her hand.
"So. No reason to stick around this town anymore. Hmm." Hikaru said.
"Crabdy, crab. Just where do you think you're going, girlcrab?" Said Tetsuya.
"Huh? Who's asking?" Hikaru asked as she looked behind her and saw no one. She then walked over to two huge metal crates and looked between them.
"You Didn't Defeat Gingka. I'm Sorry To Say." Tsubasa Also Spoke Up.
"Alright! Who's There!? I Won't Back Down From A Suprise Attack!" Hikaru Prepares Her Launch.
"The Opponent You Faced Yesterday Wasn't Gingka. It Was A Kid Named Kenta Yumiya. His Bey Is Flame Saggitario. Gingka's Bey Is Storm Pegasus." Tsubasa Reveals Himself.
"Wha?" Hikaru asked. "That Kid Was Kenta!? And Not Gingka!? That Burly Guy Tricked Me!" Hikaru Said In Anger.
"What He Said crab." Tetsuya said. "That Gets You Ticked Off Huh? Don't It?"
"And What About Naruto Uzumaki And Sakura Haruno? Are They Gonna Fake Me Out With A Puny Kid Too!?" Hikaru Asks.
"Likely Not... They Aren't Cowards." Tsubasa Nods. "Naruto Is Very Strong. His Bey Is A Balance Type. Nine Kurama. My Keen Eye Senses That Naruto's Bey Holds Alot Of Information. However, We Tied When We Battled. So His Skills Are Real." Tsubasa Informs Her.
"So He's A Mystery... How Hot..." Hikaru Smirks.
"If You Want A Good Opponent. Find Him. That's All." Tsubasa Flips Away.
"That's All Crab!" Tetsuya Basically Echoes As He Too Scuttles Away.
"Did he say crab?" Hikaru thought As She Turned Around And Heard A Voice.
"I'm wiped. What else is new?" Benkei said as he walked back to the face hunter's hideout.
"I don't know which one of us is getting the tougher work out. Haha! I crack myself up." He laughed. He then looked and saw Hikaru standing in front of him.
"You!" Hikaru Growled.
"Hikaru..." Benkei Trailed Off As Hikaru Stares A Hole In Him.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Hikaru yelled with her arms folded."
Tell you what? What are you talking about?" Benkei asked.
"That You Were Gonna Fake Me Out With That Kenta Kid!" Hikaru Glares At Benkei Is Shocked.
"H-How Did-" Benkei Starts.
"Don't Screw With Me! I'm Trying To Fight Serious Battles! Not Babysit 8 Year Olds!" Hikaru Snaps As She Steps Up To Benkei As He Backs Up.
"Woah Woah! Go Easy!" Benkei Said.
"If Gingka's Too Cowardly To Show Himself... Then Bring Me The Next Best Thing! Naruto Uzumaki!" Hikaru Declares. "And His Nine Kurama!"
"Naruto?" Benkei Said.
Whatever. I don't know what your game is! But my ultimate goal is to battle strong opponents to the very end. I don't waste my precious time with Amateurs." Hikaru said before holding up her bey.
"Tomorrow I'll settle this with Naruto!" Hikaru Declares.
"Tomorrow? But..." Benkei Stammers.
"No buts You Olaf! Thats the reason you brought me here, isn't it?" Hikaru said.
"Well yeah, thats true. But..." Benkei Said. Not Knowing What To Do In The Face Of Hikaru's Fury.
"Hmm. I said no buts." Hikaru Glares as she held up Aquario. "There's no problem then, right? Naruto. Tomorrow." She then walked off.
"Hmm." Benkei watched Hikaru leave.
"Tomorrow? But what about Kenta? His rematch? " Benkei Thought.
On top of a warehouse stood The Familiar Cloaked Being With His Orange Mask.
"Hikaru Hasama... You Want To Fight Naruto? Go Right On Ahead." His Sharingan Eye Flashed As He Pursued Her.
Hikaru comes walking up a street hill. Holding Her Aquario.
"Naruto. Don't Flank On Me! If What Tsubasa Said About You Is True Then... The Burning Sensation Of Battling Stronger Opponents Will Drive Me To My Goal Faster Than Ever!" Hikaru Thought. "So I WILL Battle You And WIN!"
On The Other Side Of Town, Kenta and Benkei walk up to each other.
"Are you ready, Kenta?" Benkei asked.
"Yes sir!" Kenta said.
"Hikaru should be coming to Beypark, where Gingka is. You are going to cut her off before she gets here." Benkei said. "So, do you get it, kid?"
"Got it!" Kenta answered.
"You still haven't figured out a surefire way to beat Hikaru. But no matter what it takes, win! Win and become a man, Kenta!" Benkei said.
"Yeah! I'll do it!" Kenta Cheers As He Pumps His Fist.
"Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! Fighting..." Benkei And Kenta Chant Before Coming Face To Face With...
"Hey! Kenta What's Up!?" Naruto Shouts As He, Sakura, Sora And Yu All Approach Them.
"Hi ya Kenta. So whacha doin?" Madoka Too asked Them.
"Owo said that?" Kenta asked. He then looked behind him to see Madoka, which startled him.
"Ah! Madoka!" Kenta Jumps In Suprise
Benkei was hiding behind a tree. Completely Visible To Everyone.
"Does He Know We Can See Him..." Sakura Said With A Sweatdrop.
"Probably." Naruto Sighs.
"And We Can Hear Him Too..." Sora Facepalms.
"Ben-Ben's So Silly." Yu Giggles. "He's Too Chubby To Fit There."
"So do you think you'll be coming into Beypark today?" Madoka asked as she walked up to him. She and Kenta looked at the tree Benkei was hiding behind.
"Well everyone has been asking about you, ya know." Madoka Asked.
"She's Got A Point." Sora Notes.
"Oh, well, uh...ya see, I gotta shampoo my cat today. Fluffie's filthy and..." Kenta Makes Up A Quick Excuse.
"You got a cat?" Everyone asked.
"Before you go, I've got something for you." She dug into her pink bag and pulled something out. "Here you go."
She handed the object to Kenta.
"Huh? What's this?" Kenta asked.
"It's a metal facebolt." Madoka answered.
"A metal facebolt?" Kenta questioned.
"Yes. I tried making Saggitario's facebolt out of metal. By increasing the way it's centered, a Beyblades rotation becomes more stable. Ya follow? So it's perfect for stamina type like Saggitario. Not only that, it adds weight to your attacks and makes it more balanced. So it can better repel your opponent's attacks. Now do ya get me? It's an amazing piece that compensates for many of an attack type's weaknesses." Madoka said.
"That's Interesting!" Naruto Said Aloud.
"Yep... Just One Piece Makes A Difference To A Beyblade." Sakura Said.
"That's The Beauty Of It All." Sora Nods.
"I Want One Too..." Yu Said.
"Wow. This has..." Kenta Starts.
"Test it out when you finish blow drying your cat. See ya." Madoka said before walking away.
Kenta watched Madoka go back inside Beypark.
"You Know Benkei... We Can See You." Naruto Decides To Call Out.
Benkei appeared behind Them.
"A metal facebolt? I've never seen one before." He questioned.
"This has that much power? That's amazing." Kenta said. He took out his bey, removed the old facebolt and replaced it with the new one. The new facebolt then started to glow.
"Whoa, its true! The weight of it in my hand feels completely different!" Kenta Exclaimed.
"That's Nuts!" Yu Exclaimed. "Do You Think That Madoka Would Give Me One Too!?"
"If You Ask Maybe..." Sakura Said.
"Alright. Now that you're prepared, Kenta, Lets get going!" Benkei said.
"Yeah!" Kenta said.
"To Where?" Naruto And Sakura Ask.
"I Have To Battle Someone! To Fix A Problem I Caused. I Filled In As Gingka And I Need To Face My Opponent And Win!" Kenta Declares.
"What's Your Opponent Like?" Sakura Asks.
"She Uses A Special Move That's Basically Similar To Naruto's Shadow Clones." Kenta Said As Naruto Smirks.
"Clones Huh? Well... Take It From Me. Clones Can Usually Learn A Move And Then Pass The Information On To Another Clone. But... That Might Be How Human Clones Work And Not Beyblade Clones... In Any Case... Use Your Attacks To Ram Them All Down At Once, Not Just One At A Time." Naruto Advises.
"Oh OK! I'll Remember That." Kenta Smiles. "Cmon Benkei Lets Go!"
"RIGHT!" Benkei Said As They Both Run Towards The Battle With Naruto And Sakura Following Them.
"Let Go Too!" Naruto Encourages As Yu Stays Behind.
Kenta is now running through the city. "Thank you, Madoka. I'll definitely win with the metal facebolt you gave me." He said as he The Rest ran off.
Meanwhile, Madoka Enters The B-Pit And Meet Up With Gingka.
"Do you think he's gonna be alright?" Madoka asked.
"I hope so. Whatever happens, this is Kenta's battle to fight. Its something he has to do." Gingka said.
"But I wonder just what kind of blader this opponent is. Who could make Kenta so intent and serious?" Madoka said.
"Should we go see for ourselves?" Gingka asked.
"Yeah, lets." Madoka said. The started to run.
"Hey." Came a voice. Gingka and Madoka stopped in their tracks. They looked behind them to see Sora And Yu standing at the entrance of Beypark.
"What's up?" Sora Salutes.
"Nothing much." Gingka said.
"Where are you guys headed? I Wanna Battle!" Sora Said.
"We're going to watch Kenta's battle." Gingka answered.
"Oh? Right! Mind if we tag along?" Sora asked.
"Actually..." Madoka began.
"Not at all." Gingka said.
"Awesome! I cant wait to see who Kenta's opponent is! This is so exciting!" Sora squealed. She and Gingka then ran off together to watch Kenta's battle.
"I'll Come Too, And I Wanna Try And Get A Metal Facebolt For Libra!" Yu Said As Madoka Nods.
"Sure Yu! I Can Help Your Libra!" Madoka said. She And Yu then ran off after Gingka and Sora.
"Well...somebody's jealous Kenta Got A New Facebolt." Sora said. "Aren't You Already So Strong?"
"Well I Wanna grow Stronger And Stronger! To Beat The Best! And To Fullfill My Teachers Wish Of Removing A Disease From Naruto To Help Him!"
"A Disease From Naruto?!" Everyone Was Shocked For A Moment.
"Mhm!" Yu And
"Why Didn't Naruto Tell Us About This?" Gingka Thought.
Kenta, Benkei, Naruto And Sakura Were Running Across The City To Meet Hikaru.
"I'll be a witness to your battle! Fight with everything you've got, Kenta!" Benkei said as he and Kenta ran through the city.
"You know I will! No holding back! This time I absolutely cannot lose!" Kenta said.
"Now you're talking, I love a good scrap! I'm pumped up too! Bu-bull!" Benkei said.
Benkei and Kenta are headed for a tunnel.
"Where are you two rival crabs scuddling off to so excitedly?" Came a voice.
"Huh? Where are ya?" Benkei asked as he and Kenta looked around.
Tetsuya popped his head out of the upper end of the tunnel.
"Up here, crab."
Benkei and Kenta looked up at the roof of the tunnel.
"Look! It's Tetsuya Watarigani!" Kenta said.
"Not Again..." Sakura Facepalms.
"What Do You Want!? We're Busy Here!" Naruto Asks With A Raised Brow
"Don't tell me that Gingka wannabe is trying again. So you're planning to battle with Hikaru once more, who you, yourself, scouted, crab." Tetsuya said.
"Hikaru?" Naruto And Sakura Asks.
"How do you know about our plan?!" Benkei demanded.
Tetsuya then jumped down from the roof of the tunnel.
"Cuz the crab knows all. Snap, snap." He said.
"So you're the one who told Hikaru! That was none of your business!" Benkei said.
"I only told her the truth. Crabby, crab. But siding with the enemy, the kid there, that's a real betrayal." Tetsuya said.
"So You ARE Helping Kenta." Naruto Turns To Benkei.
"Have You Turned A New Leaf Benkei?" Sakura Asked.
"Enough! I will defeat Gingka And Two Two! But only when and where I choose! Not you or anyone else! But this kid has earned the right to have a man's battle! I'm gonna make it happen!" Benkei said.
"He's Sending Mixed Messages." Naruto Thought. "He's Got Good Intentions.
"Uhu, Benkei." Kenta began.
"Ha! Ya know, I'm really not a fan of all that sappy friendship stuff. It makes seafood sauce of run through my veins." Tetsuya said. He then held his bey, Mad Gasher, between two of his fingers.
"Oh Great..." Naruto Sighs.
"I must take his bey, which has been ruined by all this corny friendship talk, till it's covered in scratches. Or I wont be able to sleep in my shell tonight." He said as he circled Benkei and Kenta and launched his bey.
Kenta put his bey in his launcher.
"No, wait!" Benkei said.
"Huh?" Everyone said.
"I'll be your opponent!" Benkei said as he launched his bey. Dark Bull hit Mad Gasher, sending it flying.
"Crabawha?" Tetsuya said.
"But Benkei." Kenta began.
"Kenta! You have an opponent you need to battle! Go now and finish what you started! Leave this to me and Bull! We'll take care of em!" Benkei said.
"Thanks Benkei!" Naruto Thumbs Up.
"Hm." Kenta nodded. "Yes! Thank you, Benkei!" He said as Kenta, Naruto, And Sakura ran through the tunnel.
"Why are you? You really wanna battle me crab?!" Tetsuya asked.
"Bu-bu-bull! Once a man has decided to battle, no one can interfere! Bu-bu-bull!" Benkei said.
The Three Of Them Were Now Headed Down The Riverbank Taking A Shortcut As They Were Planning To Sneak Attack On Hikaru.
"Fortunately... This Path Is A Secret Route I Learned Towards The Central Part Of Town." Naruto Said.
"How'd You Have Time To Learn All This?" Kenta Asks.
"We Roam Around Searching For Intel On Madara..." Sakura Informs Him.
"Wait... Who's Madara?" Kenta Asks But Is Denied.
"Forget That... Focus On The Battle Coming Up." Naruto Said As Another Figure Obstructed Their Path.
"Well This Is A Suprise." The Figure Said As Everyone Paused.
"Tsubasa..." Naruto Said As They Faced The Eagle Blader.
"Didn't Expect For You To Take This Route." He Said As Everyone Stares At Him.
"What's With People Blocking Us Today!? Yeesh! You Wanna Battle Too!?" Naruto Asks.
"Well... I Wasn't Planning On It, But If You Insist. I'd Like For Eagle To Scretch Its Wings Before An Important Battle. Perhaps We Can Battle Again To Settle Our Tie?" Tsubasa Asks Him.
"Fine! Lets Do This!" Naruto Was About To Launch When Sakura Steps Forward.
"No Naruto! Continue Guiding Kenta To Where Hikaru Is. I'll Fight You Tsubasa! Prepare For Katsuyu!" Sakura Declares.
"Sakura! Are You Sure You Can Beat Him?" Naruto Asks.
"Not Really... But... As Long As I Hold Him Off Long Enough For You Two To Move Forward, It Doesn't Matter!" Sakura Said.
"Alright Then! Good Luck! Lets Move Kenta! Quickly!" Naruto Guides Kenta Away.
"Well Then Sakura... Lets See If That Infamous Full Body Strength Of Yours Is Really All That." Tsubasa Grins. "Go Eagle!" He Launches His Bey.
"Fine By Me Eagle Boy!" Sakura Said. "LET IT RIPPP!"
Hikaru walks up the steps as Kenta arrives With Naruto Behind Him.
"Oh, you again?" She said. Kenta was catching his breath. "Get out of my way!"
"No way! Once more! Right here! Battle me one more time! Come on, please." Kenta said.
"I have no interest in weak opponents... Especially Liars! The only one I wanna battle with is You! Naruto!" Hikaru said As She Points To The Blond Knucklehead Ninja.
"Me? Well... I'm Honored, But Kenta's Been Training Unbelievably Hard For This Match... So It'd Be Quite Rude Of You To Not Accept His Challenge." Naruto Said.
"I'm Really sorry. I apologize for lying to you! But I put everything on the line battling you as Gingka! And I lost it all! All of it! But I'm not a quitter! And I need one more chance to win!" Kenta said.
"He Lost Everything Huh? Well... This Makes The Stakes Higher." Naruto Thought.
"My name is Kenta Yumiya! In place of Gingka Hagane And Naruto Uzumaki! Hikaru Hasama, I challenge you to a battle!" Kenta Declares.
"YEA! GO KENTA! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto Cheers.
"Hmm. You just don't learn, do you? But if you insist. Fine. It'll be my warm up before the real battle!" Hikaru said.
Hikaru and Kenta both had their launchers aimed As The Floating Madara Watched From A Obscure Spot.
"So She Won't Battle Naruto... Yet... However, It Still Would Be Best To Watch Over Her." Madara Thought.
"Here I go, ya faker!" Hikaru Said. "Time To Throw Down!"
"Let it Rip!" They both launched their beys and they collided with each other. They jumped in the air and Saggitario hit Aquario, sending it flying.
"Nice One!" Naruto Said.
"Your power has greatly increased since our last battle. Thats interesting." Hikaru said.
"Saggitario's stability is extraordinary." Kenta said.
"It must be thanks to the metal facebolt Madoka gave me." He thought.
"I bet I can win now!" Kenta said.
"But just because your power has slightly improved, don't think you can beat me!" Hikaru said.
Aquario's performance tip changed and it vanished.
"Huh?! It disappeared!" Kenta said.
"Teleportation?" Naruto asks.
Aquario reappeared and hit Saggitario, sending it flying. It landed on the ground, but Aquario reappeared again and sent it flying.
When Saggitario was in the air Aquario reappeared and hit it. Saggitario landed on the ground, only to be repeatedly attacked by Aquario repeatedly as it disappeared and reappeared.
"That's A Nasty Barrage Attack." Naruto Said.
"I know that movement is because of the performance tip change. If i just aim for the moment it disappears." Kenta Thought.
As the two beys span, Aquario's performance tip changed.
"There!" Naruto Said.
"Okay! Now!" Kenta ordered.
Saggitario followed Aquario up slide like cement banister and it vanished when it reached the top.
"Oh no! It won't reach it in time!" Kenta Shouted.
Saggitario hit the invisible bey and it reappeared. Both bey flew into the air and collided with each other, sending both beys flying. The beys landed on the ground next to their owners.
"What!?" Hikaru gasped.
"It's a tie?!" Kenta added.
"No Way!" Naruto Gasped.
"Just now, for a moment, it seemed like Saggitario expanded." Kenta thought.
Realization then struck.
"The claws Madoka told me about. The claws hidden outside the spin track opened up. Oh, wow!" Kenta Thought.
"The Claw Spin Track I Have... I Saw It Expand... Meaning He Could Do Something With It... If Kenta Awakens That Power... He'll Win For Sure!" Naruto Thought.
"You've improved quite a bit in a very short time." Hikaru said.
"Huh?" Kenta said.
"But I still have one special move left. Lets settle this now then. Get ready! I'm coming at cha now!" Hikaru said.
Kenta just glared at Hikaru.
"GO!" Naruto Encouraged.
During Benkei VS Tetsuya...
"Kenta! Just hang on! I promise to witness your battle! I won't let you down! I cant be wasting my time with this bottom feeder! Battle Bull Uppercut!" Benkei said.
Dark Bull charged at Gasher.
"Whats this crab?!" Tetsuya said. "Gasher!"
Dark Bull charged up at the ceiling and hit Mad Gasher. It span on the bey until it was imbedded into the ceiling.
"Oh no!" Tetsuya said.
A huge piece of the ceiling fell on Tetsuya's face and he fell on the ground.
"Oh, right in the shell. Crab."
Dark Bull returned to Benkei's hand.
"Kenta! I'm coming now!" He said as he ran past Tetsuya, causing him to spin around.
"Crab!" Tetsuya said as he span.
"That was a lucky shot, bull crab. If he thinks this crab is cooked, he's making a big mistake. Crabby, crabby, pinchy, pinchy."
During Sakura VS Tsubasa...
"There's No Way!" Sakura Gasped.
With All Katsuyu's Bursts Of Speed. Eagle Managed To Whizz Away At The Perfect Time, Almost Like He Was Teleporting Like Aquario.
"Having Trouble Finding Eagle?" Tsubasa Asks. "That's To Be Expected."
"I Know Your Battle Style From When You Fought Naruto! Don't Expect Me To Be A Pushover!" Sakura Said As Katsuyu Jumps Towards Eagle And Hits It In Midair.
"Nice Attack! But Challenging Eagle In Midair Is A Rookie Mistake!" Tsubasa Said As Eagle Pushes Katsuyu Back.
"Oh Yea!? Katsuyu! Use Chakra Spear!" Katsuyu Charged Through Eagle As It Dropped To The Floor.
"Hmmmm..." Tsubasa Thought.
"Now! Use Chakra Drain! Decrease Its Spin Rotation!" Sakura's Katsuyu Spun Around As Tsubasa's Eagle Proceeded To Teleport Away Towards The Sky And Prepares Another Attack.
"Eagle! Diving Crush!" Tsubasa's Eagle Crashes Into Katsuyu As Its Spin Drained.
"Yes! You're Within Range Now! CHA!" Sakura Shouts As Katsuyu Rams Eagle Into The Wall. "How's That!?"
"Not Bad... But... I Got Something Better! EAGLE!" Tsubasa's Eagle Dives Down And Swerves Throughout The Arena Dodging Katsuyu's Attacks And Hitting It With A Flower Pattern.
"That Movement! Its So Slick!" Sakura Was Amazed.
"Now! Smashing Claw!" Tsubasa's Eagle Lept Into Air And Struck Katsuyu. It Was Instantly Defeated.
"Ahhhh... I Knew It." Sakura Muttered.
"Yep... That Was That..." Tsubasa Said. "Now Go..."
"Go?" Sakura Asked.
"Yea... I'm Not Holding You Back... Go." Tsubasa Shrugged As He Laid Down On The Riverbank As Sakura Headed Towards The Battle As Well.
Hikaru and Kenta are staring at each other. Kenta aims his launcher.
"The special move. Something Hikaru has and I don't. But maybe..." Kenta thought. "Maybe i can create one using the metal facebolt Madoka gave me. With this more stable Saggitario. And the power I've gained using my special training with Benkei. I can use the claws hidden on the spin track to create my very own special move."
"Good Luck Kenta!" Naruto Said.
Hikaru aimed her launcher.
3!
2!
1!
"Let it Rip!" Kenta And Hikaru Launched Once Again. Saggitario was in the middle of many Aquario's.
"So She Does Make Clones!" Naruto Said Aloud. "No... Wait..."
"Those Aren't Clones... There Just Illusions." He Sighed. "But Still... To The Untrained Eye... They Would Appear Otherwise."
"There it is! It's Hikaru's special move!" Kenta Said.
"Brase yourself, kid! Aquario! Infinite assault!" Hikaru said as a huge wave of water appeared behind her! A whirlpool of water was swirling around Aquario and Saggitario.
"That's Just Like Water Style!" Naruto Exclaimed.
"Hm. And that is all she wrote. Huh?" Hikaru looks at Kenta and sees a yellow glow around him.
"Beyblade is fighting spirit. It's the feeling of wanting to win." Kenta thought.
"You can do it, Saggitario!" He shouted.
The three claws then pointed out of Saggitario, and the Aquario beys closed in on it. However, all of the beys were defeated. All the fake ones were anyway. Once all of the fake beys were gone, Saggitario hit the real Aquario, sending it flying.
"Huh?! Aquario!" Hikaru shouted.
"You Got Her! Now Keep On Attacking!" Naruto Also Shouts.
"Whoa!" Benkei said as he ran up the steps.
"That's Intense!" Sakura Adds.
In the air, Aquario reverts back like a boomerang.
"Saggaterio, go, go, go! Special Move: Saggaterio, Flame Claw!" Kenta shouted.
Saggaterio was then enveloped in a flame of fire and hit Aquario. The bey landed next to Hikaru, no longer spinning. Everyone Is shocked.
"Di-did I..." Kenta began.
"I won!" He spoke.
Saggitario returned to his hand.
"Haha! I can't believe it. My Saggitario's special move is complete!" He said.
"Great Job Kenta! You Ruled This Battle!" Naruto Cheers.
"Yes! Way To Go!" Sakura Adds.
"Whoa! Kenta!" Benkei said as he ran pass Hikaru.
"Benkei!" Kenta said.
He and Benkei ran up to each other and hugged.
"Ya did it, Kenta!" Benkei said.
"I did it, Benkei! I did it! Did you see that?!" Kenta said.
"With both eyes." Benkei said.
"I...lost? Me!? To A Kid!?" Hikaru said. She then remembered what her mother told her.
"Challenge strong opponents without giving up And Finally win, huh?" Hikaru thought with a smile.
She Saw Naruto Give Her A Thumbs Up And A Nod. Hikaru Blushes And Turns Away In Response.
"Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit!" Benkei and Kenta said.
"You did really, really well, Kenta." Gingka said as he, Madoka, Sora, And Yu walked up to him and Benkei.
"Awww... We Missed The Battle... So Stinky." Yu Sighed.
"So. Do you think that metal facebolt i made was helpful?" Madoka said.
"Gingka! Guys!" Kenta said.
"Gingka? So that's him." Hikaru said.
"It helped a lot. This victory is thanks to you all. Gingka, Madoka, Naruto, Sakura and Benkei. We all won! But how did you guys know that I was here?" Kenta said.
"It's elementary, my dear watson." Gingka And Madoka said.
"Oh brother." Said Sora.
"Where's Hikaru going?" Kenta asked as he watched Hikaru leave.
"Hikaru?" Benkei said.
"With this, it's over, Kenta. As I promised, I witnessed your battle. From here on, we are enemies again. This is the way it is, Kid." He said As He Glares At Them.
"Benkei! But-but-" Kenta Said.
"Really Benkei?" Naruto Frowned.
"Don't speak. I have a reason for needing to defeat Gingka, Naruto And Sakura. And it cannot be changed." Benkei said.
"What reason?" Gingka asked.
"Listen up, You Guys! Next time we meet, I'll defeat you All for sure." Benkei said.
"Oh yeah? Good luck. I'm over my cold. Come at me any old time." Gingka said.
"Same Here! Me And Kurama Will Trash You A Second Time." Naruto Smirks.
"Same Here With Me And Libra Ben-Ben! Especially With This New Metal Facebolt I Have! " Yu Waves.
"Don't forget those words. I sure wont." Benkei said.
He then walked away.
"But Benkei." Kenta said.
"Just let him go, Kenta. Come on. I'll bake a cake to celebrate Kenta completing his special move. How does that sound, guys?" Madoka said.
"Okay." Kenta said.
"YESSIR CAKE!" Yu said.
"Alright! Cake rocks." Gingka said as he and the others walked away.
"You can say that again." Sora added.
"Is there no end to you people with cake?" Sakura asked.
As Benkei is walking down the steps, he is greeted by three face hunters.
"So what's up, guys?" He asked.
"Don't feed us that "what's up line", Benkei!" Said a face hunter.
"What's the big idea handing around with the enemy while Kyoya's away?" Another face hunter asked.
"You're a traitor!" Said the third face hunter.
"Wait a minute! I was just..." Benkei Defends But Was Interrupted.
"Don't even try to make up an excuse." Said the first face hunter.
"Oh?" Benkei said.
"We cant trust ya anymore. Because you're a traitor." The first face hunter Glared A Hole In Him"
"Wha-what did you say?!" Benkei asked shocked.
"Crabby, crabby, crabby. Crabby, that's how it is, crabcheeks." Tetsuya said.
"Watarigani!" Benkei yelled.
"Oh, should I have kept this our little secret instead of telling your friends what you've been doing? Oops. Friendship and buddies are fragile things like shells. Crunch." Tetsuya said. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"You...rotten...CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB!" Benkei shouted as Tetsuya laughed like a crazy person.
Inside the dark room, the unseen figure is sitting at his desk, watching Kenta's battle with Hikaru on the flat screen.
"So...Hikaru lost to the Saggitario shrimp, and Benkei's days as a face hunter are over. No matter. He was never meant to be the one to defeat Gingka anyway." The unseen figure said.
He then poured himself a glass of red apple juice in his wine glass. He picked it up.
"It seems that Tetsuya can be very useful when it comes to following orders from yours's truly... Not Only That... But The Other Bladers I Keep Seeing Are Interesting Me As Well..." The unseen figure then took a sip of his apple juice.
"Soon they and those fools, Benkei And Kyoya, will join forces." He said, referring to Gingka and friends.
"Then when they least expect it...I'll strike. I will get rid of Gingka, his friends, and anyone who tries to stand in my way...forever."
It Was Nighttime And Hikaru Was Lying Down In The Riverbank, Her Aquario Clenched In Her Hand.
"Why Did I Hype Myself... To THAT Extent. Who Am I Kidding? If I Lost To Kenta... Then What Good Would It Be If I Faced Any Of The Three Expert Bladers In This Town. I'd Be Skewered." Hikaru Sighed.
"But... Its What Kenta Said... That Beyblade Is About Fighting Spirit. I Shouldn't Give Up." Hikaru Said To Herself. "I Will Win Against Kenta! I'll Have To Train Hard But I'll Win!" Hikaru Stood Up And Ran Towards The River.
"I Ask Though... Hikaru Hasama." A Voice Stops Her As She Turned Around, Looking Around.
"Wha? Who's There..." She Said. "Another Ambush!?"
"Hardly Dear Girl... But Back To My Question..." The Voice Said As Madara Descends In Front Of Her.
"Who... Are You?" She Said.
"My Name Doesn't Matter, What I Can Do Does... And I Can Make You STRONG!" Madara's Red Eye Glows Once More.
