Her heart was thumping wildly in her chest,her number of breaths were starting to get quicker as the match she was having continued.

Manuki Sumiye was having the battle of her lifetime,it was one she feared for a long time and luck that day wasn't on her side. She had to fight against the Lord Of Destruction,Also known as Phi.

Fubuki Sumiye,her older and twin brother crossed his arms,his face showing a look of worry and concern.

"Chillax bro! She's gonna be fine."Ranjiro commented,patting Fubuki's shoulder to calm him down.

But Fubuki didn't and he continued staring at the battle,Cross Minerva was currently speeding around Revive Phoenix who was in the centre.

Aiger looked towards Fubuki,understanding his concern since he himself was an older brother but he also perfectly knew the situation that Manuki was in.

~Flashback~

"I really want to battle you."Manuki said before turning her head towards Aiger,her mouth crack into a smile as she took out her bey.

"Could you raise your hand?"

Aiger looked towards the blonde female with confusion in his head but he still listened and raised his hand. The red eyed female than spun her partner,Cross Minerva onto his hand.

A few seconds later,she picked it up.

"Looks like I finally got a good look of you."she commented,smiling as she held her bey.

"I don't get it,don't you see me everyday with Fubuki?"Aiger asked,an eyebrow raised. He then realised something amiss in her eyes when he compared it to her brother's.

"Are you completely blind?"he asked,hoping that what he thought wasn't true.

Manuki raised her head,her face still having the soft gentle look on her face before slightly nodding.

"You guessed it right."

He stared at his friend,shock present in his eyes as he compute the new information into his mind. He always thought her actions were weird and bizarre at times but he didn't think it was because of her condition.

His eyes than widened at the thought where he remembered yelling at her when she was patting his head. At the memory,he looked at his feet thinking about his outburst then.

"Don't worry,I'm not upset about what happened then."Manuki said,making Aiger's head shoot up. "After all its not every day you see a blind person."

"Your incredible."Aiger simply stated,turning his head to look up towards the sky to avoid staring at his friend."You beybattle despite being blind,how do you do it?"he asked

"I'm not that incredible,like any normal human being,I can see,but not like you."she fiddled with her bey.

To her,her partner and bey,Cross Minerva was her only shining light in the world of darkness around her,hey bey was her eyes and her guide to the world around her

If it were to break,that's when the kind blonde haired female will truly go blind.

He looked back towards Manuki to see her face having a delicate smile,one that most wouldn't bare to break and he wanted that smile to never go

End of flashback...
Aiger snapped out from his trip down memory lane as he heard the critical horrible sound of a bey breaking.

His eyes widened as he looked towards the stadium to see that the match was over and that the pieces of Cross Minerva were scattered all around the stadium's ground.

Manuki dropped to her knees as tears ran down her face while Fubuki quickly ran to her side.

Aiger,Xavier,Renjiro and the others all went down to check on the only female competitor in the competition to see how she was.

"Fubuki,could you please help me pick Minerva up,I can't see where she is."Manuki commented,her voice cracking as more droplets of tears continued running down her face.

That statement immediately cracked the hearts of several of the bladers,over the span of the competition,they knew Manuki as a kind,gentle and independent female.

Seeing her like this was just upsetting.

"Lets go sis."Fubuki said,helping his sister stand as she held his arm,he than guided her to the place where Minerva's pieces were and guided her hand to pick them up.

"Fubuki,I can still battle,right?"Manuki asked,her voice asked with concern,to the blind girl,beyblading was her way to see the world and she couldn't bare to leave it.

Aiger raised his hand wanting to say something but stopped himself to the fear that he might blurt something wrong out and Fubuki was the first to notice but he decided to push it aside.

"I don't know sis."

With that done,the pair than left the arena and headed back to Manuki's room,being silent throughout the walk.

"Please stay by my side big bro,I got one else but you..."

The blind was once again blind

The gentle soul is now harden

But the drive to keep fighting still remains

Even In the eclipse of the darkness...
