Beyblade Metal Fusion (Fanfiction)

Chapter 7: Merci's Trap! Kyoya's Return!

The mysterious individual, shrouded in darkness, meticulously observed the data on Storm Pegasis 105RF displayed on his large screen.

"Pegasis has indeed grown more powerful," he muttered to himself.

Simultaneously, his eyes shifted to another screen displaying Spiral Phoenix D125CS.

"And Phoenix... it has endured many battles, significantly increasing its power as well."

He then turned his attention to a hologram battle where Kyoya Tategami was pitted against a simulated Gingka.

Kyoya's Beyblade, Rock Leone, clashed fiercely with the holographic Pegasis.

With a final, powerful strike, Leone obliterated the hologram.

The mysterious individual smirked, "Excellent, Kyoya. Thanks to you, we are three days ahead of schedule." He pressed a button on his console. "Merci, commence collecting Gingka's data."

A robotic voice responded, "Understood Master. Data collection initiated."

At the B-pit Madoka and Kenta were busy repairing Benkei's Beyblade, Dark Bull, giving it a much-needed tune-up, which beneki was opposed to but ultimately agreed on.

"There you go, Benkei. All set," Madoka said, handing the Beyblade back to him.

Benkei, who had been hanging around the B-pit since being kicked out of the Face Hunters, took it and grumbled,
"Thanks. But remember, we're still enemies. I'll defeat Gingka and Haruka once and for all."

Madoka, trying to lighten the mood, handed him a steak. "Oh then you probably won’t want this."

Benkei looked on eyes gleaming, as Madoka questioned, "What? You don't like steak." She asked teasing.

Benkei's eyes widened, "My favorite... but—"

At that moment, Gingka and Haruka walked in.

Gingka grinned, "Well, it's no point—"

"—in letting it get cold now, is it?" Haruka finished, each twin grabbing a fork and diving into the steak.

Benkei stood there in shock, anime-style tears forming in his eyes. "My steak..."

The twins savored the steak, smiling.
"Yummy~"

Haruka turned to Benkei, "So, Benkei, why are you so intent on beating us?"

Gingka added, "Yeah, you're not even a Face Hunter anymore."

Benkei was about to retort, "Don't rub it in."

Haruka asked, "Kyoya's orders, I assume?"

Benkei frowned, "No, it's not! Kyoya isn't in town right now."

Haruka raised an eyebrow, "No?"

Benkei sighed, "He lost a battle to a weird guy who then took him away."

Gingka and Haruka perked up.

Gingka asked, "What weird guy?"

Benkei explained, "The guy told me if I wanted to save Kyoya, I have to defeat you two."

Gingka frowned, "Defeat us?"

Haruka asked, "Why'd he do that?"

Suddenly, Kenta’s friend arrive learning about Kenta’s training and new special move as they request Benkei to train them as well with anime style sparkling eyes.

As Kenta and Madoka urge him to Benkei embarrassed and hesitant, but still agreed.

Gingka and Haruka stood silent through the whole ordeal, only exchanging glances wondering about the mysterious man Benkei mentioned, wondering who he might be.
