Ryu: LET IT RIP!!!

Ryu launched Dracian at full strength but in right rotation.

Ryu: Ok, that was launch 500.

Dracian: Ryu... are you really ok?

Ryu: Heck no! The other Forbidden Beys are back cause of me being careless! I gotta get stronger so I can make this right!

Dracian: Thats not exactly what I meant by if you were alright.

Ryu: What did you mean?

Dracian: You haven't put me in counter clockwise spin ever since that night.

Ryu: It's to risky the way I am now. Wether I like it or not I'm not strong enough to keep the Dark Power from running wild. I've been relying on it way to much as it is. I have to make sure that I'm at my best in both rotations.

He called back Dracian and started walking away.

Ryu: That's it for the day.

Dracian: Good call.

Ryu made his way back to he B-Pit and walked inside to see Kyoya and Benkei there as well.

Ryu: I'm back guys.

They all turned to him with Madoka and Kenta having saddened expressions.

Ryu: Whats wrong-

Ryu then looked around not seeing a certain Ginger Headed Blader.

Ryu: Wait, where's Gingka?

Madoka: He left! It's all in this letter.

Madoka gander Ryu the letter as he read it and realized why Gingka left.

Ryu: Your kidding. After one lose he's just gone? That ridiculous!

Kenta: Loosing doesn't have anything to do with it! You know about his father and what this meant to him!

Ryu: Kenta, did he ever let you know about how I ever got involved with this?

Madoka: Huh?

Ryu: Well let me enlighten you all.

Time Skip!

Ryu: And that's the whole story.

Kenta and Madoka were shocked to hear how similar the two Bladers stories were.

Kenta: Well if that's the case then why are you so mad at Gingka?

Ryu: Because it's because Gingka isn't the one who reawakened two of the greatest evils known to man! Because of my hotheadedness that L-Drago and Stallion are back and stronger than ever!

Madoka: But-

Kyoya: He's not wrong. Ryu still stayed despite him acknowledging that they were revived by him. Gingka left because of him loosing to Ryuga and thinking that he failed his father. He's feeling even worse than Gingka is right now but is still staying with us. He has the entire rite to be mad.

Ryu: Now I don't need to explain that part. The fact that he didn't even try to ask for help is what ticks me off the most.

Madoka: Well we still need to find him!

Ryu: Oh we're gonna find him. And when we do, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind.

Benkei: But there's still one problem.

Ryu: Hm?

Benkei: Where in the world are we gonna look?!

Ryu slightly deadpanned as he realized the obvious question.

Ryu: Oh... Well Koma Village is a good place to start.

Kyoya: Koma village?

Ryu: Oh right only Kenta and Madoka heard his side. Well I'll tell you on the way there.

Time Skip!

The three were walking through the forest as Ryu finished explaining Gingka's story to Kyoya and Benkei.

Ryu: Thats pretty much it.

Benkei: BU-BU-BULL THOSE STORIES ARE THE SAME!

Kyoya: It's weird how you two went through the exact same kind of experience.

Ryu: I thought it was weird too.

Ryu saw Madoka struggle to carry a big suitcase as he rolled his eyes.

Ryu: I got it.

He stopped Madoka and picked it up himself. He slung it over his back as the kept walking.

Madoka: No it's ok!

Ryu: It fine. I missed one half of my arm workout today. Carrying this should make up for it. Speaking of, what the heck did you put in here?

Madoka: You know some essentials! Some food, simple Bey cleaning parts.

Ryu: 'Bey cleaning parts?'

Dracian: We need maintenance too remember?

Ryu: 'You can't be damaged.'

Dracian: Still feels nice.

They kept walking as Kyoya and Ryu stopped at the top of a hill.

Kenta: Did Gingka *Pant* really have to go *Pant * to the tallest mountain in the country?

Benkei: Yeah no kidding.

Ryu: I walked all the way up here with Madoka's luggage, you-

Ryu stopped and looked at a bush. Kyoya looked at the bush as well.

Benkei: Whats the matter Kyoya?

Kyoya: It's nothing. Just my imagination.

They kept walking as Ryu talked to Kyoya.

Ryu: You felt it too right?

Kyoya: Yeah.

They kept walking until they stopped at a small pond. Madoka stuck her feet in the water while Kenta was splashing his face.

Kenta: Ah I feel alive again!

Kyoya picked up Kenta's bag while Ryu got Madoka's suitcase.

Ryu: Lets go. It'll be night soon if we don't get going.

Kenta: Already?!

Madoka: Just a few more minutes!

Kenta took a step and immediately fell down.

Madoka: Kenta, what's wrong?!

Ryu: A foot cramp right?

Kenta: Yeah! Just a little one though!

Kenta comically had years going down his face as Ryu deadpanned.

Ryu: Guess growing up in the city made you two soft.

Benkei: Thats just great. Even more baggage to carry.

Madoka and Kenta were offended by the comment as Ryu looked stoically at Benkei.

Ryu: Benkei, you haven't carried a single one of these bags since we left. I was doing most of that if you didn't realize.

Benkei: Hey that was just cold!

Kyoya: You deserved that one cause he's right.

Benkei: Why am I the bad guy all of a sudden?!

Ryu looked at his watch catching the curiosity of Kyoya.

Kyoya: I don't think it's gonna be Dark anytime soon so we should be good on time.

Ryu: No I'm just seeing how long it is until Benkei makes a decision he's gonna REALLY regret. Should be about now.

And right on cue, Benkei kicked a stick that hit a beehive. Immediately they heard bussing and bee's came out and chased Benkei.

Kyoya: Looks like you were right.

Ryu: Told ya.

Kenta and Madoka hopped around cheerily.

Kenta&Madoka: That's what you get for bugging the Bee's!!

They both stopped when the felt pain in their foots.

Madoka&Kenta: FOOT CRAMP!

They both fell to the ground in unison making Ryu face palmed. After 5 minutes of them recovering Madoka brought out sandwiches she made.

Benkei: Ooh boy oh boy, those sure look good.

Madoka: Ok then, let's eat.

Benkei: Alright! Here I go!

Ryu unseen took 3 hams and a veggie sandwich for himself before walking away. He walked next to Kyoya who had also nabbed a ham sandwich.

Ryu: So, *Bite* what exactly was it like in Wolf Canyon?

Kyoya: Well I almost got eaten, so there was that.

Ryu: I mean I traveled across the world for a pretty long time so it happened to me a few times.

Kyoya: Really?

Ryu: Yeah, *Crunch* happened at least twice a month.

Ryu turned to see that Kenta Madoka and Benkei were arguing about Benkei eating the rest of the ham sandwiches.

Ryu: Sheesh, petty much?

Kyoya: You do have 3 hams. You could give them one or two.

Ryu: Kyoya, there's a long list of things I'll do for my friends. Sharing food is not one of them. By the way guys, Monkey has the rest of the sandwiches.

Ryu pointed out the monkey that had the sandwiches in its arms. They all panicked and Ryu sighed.

Ryu: Good grief.

Kyoya: You saw it going over to them didn't you?

Ryu: Yup.

They shared a small fist bump before Ryu heard something else move in the tree. He picked up a tiny pebble and threw it into the tree. It went through the other side making it seem like no one was there.

Kyoya: You see something?

Ryu: I thought I did but looks like nothing was there. I'm gonna test something fast.

Kyoya: And what's that?

Ryu: You'll see.

Ryu immediately jumped up onto a flat surface up on the mountain.

Ryu: Guys, I'm gonna branch of for a little bit to see if I can find a route to the village. You all do the same. If we don't find anywhere we meet back here in one hour.

At first Kyoya was confused before he realized what Ryu was doing.

Kyoya: 'Clever. Splitting up to see if anyone is really following us. And if they are, they'll take the bait like a mouse to cheese.'

Ryu started scaling up the side of the mountain not bothered by some of the unstable foot holds.

Ryu: Huh. All of that adventuring really was good for something.

Dracian: Mountain scaling is way to easy for you.

Ryu stopped when he jumped for about 5 minutes.

Dracian: By the way, how can you jump so inhumanly high?

Ryu: I dunno, I just do.

He looked around for any signs of human life around but didn't see anything.

Ryu: Shoot. And no sign of that stalker either.

Dracian: Thats really the whole point of this isn't it?

Ryu: Pretty much, but I was looking for a village too.

He began jumping down as he stepped on each safe foothold until he made it to the bottom in half the time it took to get up.

Dracian: Ok now who to go after.

Ryu: If I were a betting man, I'd take my chances with Benkei and Kyoya. But knowing them, Kenta and Madoka are gonna be in trouble.

Dracian: So just in case you should go after them.

Ryu: Yeah.

Ryu immediately started running in the direction the two went.

Elsewhere

In a Dark Nebula Facility, Azure and Ryuga stood in the middle of 64 Bladers.

Doji: Attack! Defense! Stamina! Balance!Divided into Bey types they have been trained until their specialties have reached it's peak. The Dark Nebula Elite Squad of Bladers.

They all launched their Beys at the two making them smirk. They grabbed their Bey's L-Drago and Stallion launching them.

Ryuga: That's no problem for my L-Drago!

Azure: These chumps couldn't even count as a snack for Stallion!!

They crashed into all the Beys making them fly into the air. Soon enough a storm was conjured knocking the so called "Elite" Bladers into the air. They called their Bey's back as Stallion glowed in its Aura.

Stallion: Those weaklings couldn't't even count as appetizer. I must have the taste of a POWERFUL opponent!

Azure: Doji! Bring us stronger opponents! These so called Elites aren't up to the challenge!

Back to Ryu!

Ryu continued walking through the forest and found the tracks of Madoka and Kenta.

Ryu: These tracks were recently made. They must've gone down this path.

He continued walking until he found a sleep edge that had two pieces broken off. He started sweating once we saw there were no footprints further down

Dracian: Umm, Ryu?

Ryu: Don't say it. There's a chance that-

Dracian: L-Look down.

He looked down to see a giant boulder making him sweat even more.

Ryu: Wait! There's no blood down there! If they were crushed then it would be plastered everywhere!

Dracian: Oh right! Yeah!

He dropped down to a closer edge not fully doing down before dropping from that ledge onto the ground. After that the looked at the rock before launching Dracian at it. When she hit the boulder it was destroyed revealing that it was only what looked like Madoka's suitcase.

Ryu: Okay good.

Ryu searched around to see if he could find any tracks and saw that there was one set.

Ryu: These are bugger than either Madoka's or Kenta's. Whoever it was must've saved them.

Ryu continued following the tracks until he heard the crackling of flames. He came from behind the push seeing that a dim fire was there.

Ryu: This was just recently put out, so its safe to say that they already moved from this place.

Ryu turned to see footprints, this time them being the right ones.

Ryu: Honestly, these guys are making me go around in circles just to know if their okay.

He continued following their footprints noticing the trails began to look more new to him.

Ryu: These are the freshest these tracks have been. they're definitely close.

With more walking he stopped when he heard Kenta and Madoka's voices in the distance.

Kenta&Madoka: HIIIIIIII!!!

Ryu: They must have caught up with Benkei and Kyoya.

He ran ahead soon seeing them all with someone new.

Ryu: Well you guys sure are a handful.

They turned around to see Ryu.

Madoka: Ryu!

Ryu: Going on and edge that unstable wasn't your brightest move, but I'm glad the two of you are safe. So who's this guy?

He gestured to the white haired individual standing near Kyoya and Benkei.

Kenta: Oh! His name is Hyoma.

Hyoma: Nice to meet you.

Ryu: Well assuming that you're the one who saved them from that fall, thanks for that.

Benkei: He even says he knows a safe route to Koma Village!

Hearing this made Ryu raise and eyebrow.

Ryu: That so?

Hyoma: Well let's get going then.

They all started walking. While they did Ryu walked next to Kyoya.

Ryu: Somethings weird here.

Kyoya: Yeah.He said he didn't see anyone when we met him.

Ryu: And how exactly would he know about Koma Village? What's this guys game here?

OK Now I'll say it now, Updates are gonna be SLOW cause I'm about to be a Freshman in High School. I/ll trying update this story soon! So Enjoy!
