Beyblade: A Metal Fanfiction

Chapter 19

"No way, y-you're actually kidding-"

"I'm not kidding!" he flailed his arms, "I heard it myself! Gingka lost all his points!"

"Do you not have anything better to do or are you just going to stare at me like that?"

Ryuga's stern tone snapped Zukira out of her trance, a soft 'huh?' escaping her lips. She shook her head and lowered her head for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly in embarrassment, "My bad. I'll get going now."

Just when she was about to walk away, he placed a hand on her shoulder. She could feel his strong grip keeping her in place, "When you're done, meet me at the rooftop," he removed his hand from her shoulder and walked away.

She turned around and watched as he disappeared, "Whatever," Zukira muttered under her breath and took long steps, heading towards the laboratory. Upon entering, she immediately marched towards her designated station and got to work.

She took out the beys from her pocket and assembled them on the counter in a contiguous manner. She removed her mask and placed it on the seat next to her. She then picked up a bey and examined it before placing it down on the scanner. She looked at the small laptop on her right, studying the bey's individual parts displayed on the screen: it needed a bit of cleaning. She detached the bey from the scanner and opened up the bey, keeping the parts separated from one another and began to clean the bey carefully.

She followed the same procedure for the remaining beys. While some of them needed cleaning, others actually needed some repairs. These people don't even know how to take care of their beys. So annoying. Zukira tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and continued working. Thankfully, Earth Eagle and Flame Libra were in good conditions, so Zukira didn't spend as much time on them. She then reached Dark Gasher and picked it up, an image of Tetsuya flashing in her mind.

I forgot this guy existed for a moment. She rolled her eyes. I can't believe he tried to steal Pegasus while under some wacky disguise! She shook her head and continued working on the bey as she recalled that specific memory.

Zukira hid behind the tree, making sure that she wasn't seen by the two figures in front of her. It was daytime, so she had to make sure not to get seen. She had overheard Tetsuya's wacky plan to steal Gingka's Pegasus and being the paranoid soul she is, she decided to spy on him.

She noticed Gingka and Madoka standing by a bench which had a bunch of stuff on it. She was so focused on the bags placed on the ground that when caught a glimpse of Tetsuya's wacky disguise, she felt her soul leave her body.

"My name is Nigel uh- crab cakes, I'm a world famous research of tops, baby!"

Zukira facepalm and shook her head. She already knew that he...wasn't gonna be successful in his attempts to steal Pegasus.

"I can't believe he's actually going to try stealing Gingka's bey so that he doesn't participate in Battle Bladers. What a freaking idiot," Zukira muttered to herself, leaning slightly forward to her the conversation better.

She watched as Tetsuya babbles on about traditional Japanese tops combined with Beyblades, then switched over to launchers and asked Gingka the amount of points he had. All Zukira could do was watch in absolute misery as Tetsuya made a fool of himself until...
