As he contemplated his actions up to where we were now with the breeze blowing through his scarf and hair gently as his partner sat beside him while doing the same, she had a sudden epiphany of sorts slowly getting up her arm was tugged back by her blader who gaze her a curious look but after seeing the look in her eyes let go, allowing her to run off back towards the village where she met up with Hyoma who smiled asking, "So he finally let you explore a bit on your own?" She bobbed her head happily while walking away from Hyoma who called, "Your friends are here, just in case you were wondering! Their making their way up the mountain path!"

Kata's smile grew wider as she charged into a full on sprint while gazing at the sights of the village, 'Today's gonna be a great day, I can feel it!!' Pausing once she reached the entryway to the village with a long path before it that stretched down towards where the train station was past all the trees, 'I have to be careful though, he'd chew out anyone who dared try to harm me after all. (Though I still don't get why 😣)' Before her foot even passed the invisible threshold in the dirt she remembered who they had run into on the way to the village and then about how she knew Hyoma would test their friends, 'Hyoma...don't do anything dumb to them.'

A sweatdrop from her next thought made her annoyed, 'Knowing him he will, though what was up with Hokuto earlier? He kept muttering things about a seal? (Weird...)' Taking a breath she steeled herself and ran out towards where the secret entrance led out surprising her friends who emerged from it with Hyoma moments later, "Sup guys! I'm glad I caught you before Gingka found me, especially because the journey for that scroll will take some time and positive thinking to block out the cold." They were confused as she explained, "I'm going to journey with Gingka up Mt. Hagane for this scroll that's said to have an answer to defeat L-Drago. Hyoma," she called to her friend who hummed in response, "Take good care of them while I'm gone."

One sweet smile later and she began walking back to her blader who grabbed her hand and journeyed up half of the snowy part of the mountain together until she changed into her bey form to endure the cold better, which proved to be better as he needed her strength a few times in order to proceed such as when she had to knock back some icy stalactites that fell after Gingka triggered a trap and when he mistakenly triggered an avalanche, both incidents of which annoyed her as she was covered in cold wet melted snow in a colder climate freezing her even after she tried to avoid such a harrowing fate. 'Gingka, you jerk! I was trying not freeze and now I'm practically frozen!!'

"Sorry, Kata. I just really need to find the answer and that scroll maybe the last resort. Now *shivers* we have to k-ke-keep going.." he shuddered out from the cold as Pegasus fell into the snow while shouting, "Get up, Gingka! I refuse to freeze to death here!" His eyes snapped open slowly he stood up launching her towards the direction he heard Ryuga's taunting voice and seeing the most amazing light above him, as he entered the door he slowly picked up the scroll and read it learning about how it was from his dad who scolded him for being a coward for trying the easy way out, as he read the rest Kata changed back still shivering in her human form as she giggled, "Same old, Ryo. He always did have a flair for dramatics before the lesson finally came in after, *snorts* he still pulled one over on me again."

"Wait, you knew about this?!" He exclaimed as she shook her head, "Nope, but he's pulled several similar stunts before when I was still his bey, no one saw it coming each time and it was quite funny once they realized it." His face was overcome with some surprise as his usually emotional hard to read partner extended her hand, "Shall we go see the others?" He nodded as she smiled and changed back into her bey form the two finding their friends and giving them a confident and reassuring look with the glow from the lesson they learned shining from them, "Sorry I made you wait guys, I had something important that I needed to learn."
