I hummed happily as I purchased about 500 honey sticks. (Reference the pic above if, for some diabolical reason, you don't know about them.) The vendor smiled and handed me my honey as I took one out and popped it open by biting it sideways. I walked away and decided to head to the Temple of Ares. Or as the Romans say, Mars. I paid my respects to the great god and walked inside to see a boy with navy blue hair looking at the ancient carvings engraved along the wall.
I tilted my head and walked towards him before standing beside him," any idea what they say?"
I think I startled him because he turned suddenly to look at me before relaxing," a bit, yeah."
"Well? What do they say?"
"Something about how Mars defeated an entire legion of soldiers just by looking at them." I snort.
"Just by looking at them? I seriously doubt that. He probably would have jumped right into their ranks and killed them manually."
The boy chuckled," probably."
"HEY KING!" A loud obnoxious voice yelled out and I groaned,' him again...'
I had bumped into Masamune on the street earlier where he proceeded to challenge me to a battle. Naturally, I won, seeing as I had the amazing power of Ke Ahi Pele on my side. He wasn't exactly happy with me and stomped off, grumbling about Kenta being stronger than him or something like that. I had shrugged it off and continued on my way when the honey sticks had caught my eye. And you know the rest of the story.
At the moment, I was debating whether to just walk away before being challenged again or beat Masamune's butt to the ground again. "And (y/n) too! Ah yeah! I'll beat you this time!" 'Crap' "Fine. Lets battle outside. Its disrespectful to battle inside a temple without the god's or godess' permission." I walk out the back where a battle arena was stationed, ready for use. I stood at one end and Masamune ran to the other. We readied our beys and started the countdown. "3" I yelled uneagerly "2!" Masamune yelled the opposite "1! Let it rip!" We yelled and sent out beys to clash against each other. "Striker!" Masamune swiped his hand through the air," barrage mode!" I smirked and Pele's performance tip changed to defense. Voices echoed into my ears and kids started to gather. "Pele!" I called out and it used its tip to rotate in the center while Striker attacked repeatedly, only to bounce back.
"What? How are my attacks not working?" He yelled
"Let me explain. Pele has a unique performance tip that has attack, defense, and stamina all stacked in a onion-like pattern. The stamina tip is hidden inside the attack tip and the attack tip is hidden inside the defense tip. So I can adapt to anything you throw at me." I smirk," plus, I can switch at any given moment, seeing as I clean my bey every day."
Masamune could only watch as I switched to attack and hit him with a fury of barrage attacks, too quick for him, thanks to my cleaning habit. Soon, Striker was sent out and I caught a smoking Pele in my dominate hand. I walked off the field and was immediately surrounded by a group of kids asking for a battle. One redhead seemed SUPER pumped and really wanted to battle against me. It kinda made me nervous and I reached in my pocket for the DIY smoke-bomb I had made a few days ago. Hey, I was bored, so why not?
"C'mon! I want a battle! Please?" He tried the puppy eyes and I backed away, fingering the smoke-bomb. Another kid came up and demanded for a battle. He wouldn't stop saying 'Bull!' for some reason. He freaked me out and I threw the smoke-bomb down, slipped through the group, and hid behind a pillar. I watched as (surprisingly) my smoke-bomb actually had exploded and the smoke was starting to clear.
The kids looked around and I heard a few words tossed around. "Bull! Where'd she go?" "Aw man! I really wanted that battle..." "Crap! She's gone!"
(Guess who said what and win a bowl of Big Bertha's milk pudding!)
I watched as they separated and started looking around in confusion. I snuck away through the temple and popped another honey stick into my mouth as I escaped.

I walked down the streets of Athens as I sucked on another honey stick. I had replenished earlier and decided to take a walk before sundown to clear my thoughts. I started to remember the group who all wanted a battle after the defeat I gave to Masamune. I remember they all had weird hair: forest green, fire red, grape purple, grass green, mustard yellow, silver, and ...navy blue. Oh that hair was so bouncy, you just wanted to take it and bounce it all the tim- WHAT THE HECK (Y/N)?! WHY ARE YOU THINKING OF THAT?!
I was jolted out of my thoughts when I heard familiar voices. I turned towards the sound and my eyes widened when I saw the boys who had wanted a battle. I crossed the street towards the temple of Ares and heard," B-B-B-Bull! There's that girl again!" 'Son of a beyblade!' I thought as I sped up and raced for the temple. I rushed in, paying respects quickly and found the same navy haired boy from before, still looking at the engravings. I heard the teens behind me as the boy turned and noticed me. He motioned to me and I pointed to myself before looking behind me.
"Yes, you. Now come here." He chuckled
I obeyed and he tapped a symbol I didn't recognize. It pressed in and a pillar opened. I saw that it had just enough room to hide two people. 'Enough to prove an event' I realized.
The voice of the loud one broke me out of my thoughts and the boy grabbed my hand and pulled me in, right as the secret door closed and the entrance opened. I growled slightly as the group didn't pay their respects and the boy clamped his hand over my mouth," shush. They'll hear you. Especially Kyoya. His hearing is supernatural!"
A flash of fire caught our attention as the group outside our little compartment was surrounded by fire. A deep voice ricocheted off the walls," all trespassers must be destroyed for their disrespect to the gods!" The group gathered and readied their beys.
"Put those toys away. They will be no use against me." A column of wild fire erupted from the floor and a figure of a man clad in shining golden armor stood tall and erect. His dark brown hair was down to his shoulders and curled slightly at the ends. He wielded a sword of an unknown metal with rubies embedded in the hilt. A knife was at his side and he had a helmet with a red plume on top. He drew his sword and pointed it at the group," now you will die!"
