I finished it.

I finally finished it.

This is the first story I've finished on Wattpad.

Oh my god. I can not explain my feelings right now.

Every vote meant the world to me, the comments even more- I love every last one of you that's reading this- and yeah, you too. Yup. You.

I started this... uh, June 9th, 2015, I think. Maybe June 8th,  and technically finished this on August 18th, 5:01 PM (that's when I'm typing this).

I.. can't even speak. I'm speechless.

Thank you. Thank every last one of you. Each comment and vote made me work harder towards my goal to finish this book. And we've even reached 5K!

Sure, it was cringe-worthy as hell, and I want to go back and change so many things, such as Tess' name.

Um... questions, right now, I guess?

1. Will there be a second book?

Yes, there will! And possibly a third! As of right now, Tess' relationship with Kyoya is just starting! :) It's called Lion's Blood, and it takes place during Metal Masters. The third book is titled Lion's Darkness, and it's during Metal Fury.

2. Where did you get the plot for this?

Uh, well, I guess Eagle_Aquario (she's left that account, but enjoy the MFB oneshots that she's written) pushed it along, but I don't plot. I remember watching episodes with apt attention... yeah, I really don't know.

3. Who is your favorite person to write?

OC or canon character? As for OC's, it's Eagle from Chapter 26. As for canon characters, it's Dan & Reiki Sodo (or Sudo), Tsubasa Otori, or Kyoya Tategami.

4. Why Kyoya?

Kyoya's my second favorite MFB character, and Una got Tsubasa, soooooo...

5. What chapter was your favorite?

I enjoyed writing the last chapter (chapter 45), as well as Chapter 26.

5. Will any of the OCs you wrote in here come back?

Mhm. Let's just say you'll be seeing Kimi again, I think, Grayson and Kato you'll be seeing. Shaun... well, duh.

6. Anything else you want to say?

The fact that I put my own spin on Tobio, Dan, Reiki, and Ryutaro after them splitting from the Dark Nebula. Dan and Reiki have been at the Dark Nebula ever since episode... Four? At least that's what we know. I put my own spin on everyone's personalities and slipped my own headcanons in there (Dan being an insomniac, Tobio being a perfectionist, Ryutaro's mom in the hospital, Reiki being more of the teasing type then Dan). These four hardly appear after Metal Fusion (Dan and Reiki don't appear at all).

Feel free to ask me other questions! :)

Now, I have some questions for you, dear reader! Yes, you. You. YOU.

1. Is there any way I could improve?

2. Did anyone seem OOC [out-of-character]?

3. Were there any events in here that you really liked?

4. Was anyone a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu [perfect, flawless]?

5. Who was your favorite character that I created [Grayson, Kimi, Jayden, Timon, Tess, Eagle...]?

And anything else you'll like to state about this book!

:)

That being said, I will close this book with the possible summary of Lion's Blood!

'Tess Rixen is still trying her best to heal from the scarring memories she obtained at the Dark Nebula. However, her attempts fall flat, for even the mere mention of 'Dark' or 'Nebula' can freeze time for her, sending Tess away in a flashback of a nightmare.

Along with the stress of burdening a betrayal, a new fear of the dark, Eagle's refusal to obey her commands, and an increased phobia of enclosed spaces, Tess now has to deal with the World-Wide Beyblade Tournament, where both new and old faces challenge her.

Along with the haunting memory of the Dark Nebula above her, the disappearance of her friends, Dan and Reiki Sodo does anything to help her power through.'

Thank you for reading this book! :D

This is Rio, PokemonRio, closing this book.
