When I saw the first episode of Metal Fury, I couldn't stop laughing and now you can laugh, too!

„What are you doing, Kyoya?", Benkei asked, confused to see the blader he admired shooting daggers at a mere sheet of paper.

"Isn't that obvious?", the green-haired male answered visibly annoyed. "I'm writing a letter to Ginka", he explained then, calmer. "I'm trying to come up with some cool words."

The other blader was surprised. "Ehhhh?! You're writing a letter to Ginka?", Benkei repeated his friend's words. "So you're finally admitting you're in love with him? And you're writing a love letter?! Kyoya, you're so cool!"

"Grrrr … ", the green-haired boy was barely able to suppress the thought of killing his old friend. "It's not a love letter! It's a letter of challenge! ... So can you think of anything?"

"Oh really?" Benkei was disappointed. However, the thought that Kyoya had actually asked him for help completely made up for it. "How about … ", he began enthusiastically. "Ginka, I have to tell you something important, can we meet alone?"

"I told you, I want to fight him, not confess my love!", Kyoya shouted angrily. "Never mind, I came up with something myself." His eyes sparkled. "Now, let's wait for an opportunity to convey this perfectly confession-free message."

"Say Kyoya, how long do you plan on following him?", Benkei asked after the two boys had observed Ginka for half a day.

"Be quiet, Benkei!", the other blader warned his friend. Both of them were hiding behind shrubs, watching Ginka and Kenta passing by, talking about the tournament the small boy had just won. With his dark-green hair, Kyoya was perfectly invisible but the same was not true for his rather big friend. "We have to wait for the right opportunity, I explained that before."

"In the end, we're just stalking Ginka", the big blader noticed. "I knew it was a love letter. But I like the way you're approaching this, you're a genius, Kyoya!"

"I told you, it's not! It's a letter of challenge!", Kyoya replied, completely blowing their disguise. Luckily, the redhead was absorbed into his hamburger and not watching his surroundings.

Finally, Ginka and Kenta entered the Bey Pit, giving their two followers the opportunity to come up with a plan.

"Our chance is when they're leaving", Kyoya explained. "Get the crossbow ready, Benkei!"

"Oh, that's why I was carrying it around it all day. I thought it was for shooting your love rivals..." The big blader looked critically at the object which had been the reason every passenger had stared at him. "You're brilliant, Kyoya! I have no idea where you got something this dangerous, but still, you're awesome!"

"Shhh!", the green-haired blader made. "Shoot as soon as they come out! And don't you dare to miss him!"

"Aye, aye!" Benkei, proud to execute this difficult task, tried to aim for the door of the Bey Pit. A task, easier said than done. "Say Kyoya, am I supposed to hit him? I mean Ginka might die..."

"Now!", Kyoya ordered and a second later the arrow shot towards his goal.

The green-haired blader felt victorious—until he heard a window break. "That wasn't us", he muttered face palming. Seriously, how could his friend's aim be so far off? "Luckily, I predicted your clumsiness", Kyoya explained while giving Benkei another arrow and a copy of the letter. "Make sure you hit this time."

"I will hit Ginka this time for sure!" Enthusiastically, the big blader aimed anew. "This is for you, Ginka!", he shouted as he let go of the arrow.

"No, you idiot! Don't hit Ginka or do you want to kill him?!" Kyoya hastily pushed his friend away, redirecting the weapon.

Madoka's scream was audible from far away.

"Don't worry, Benkei", Kyoya calmed down his friend. "She wasn't important, there are other mechanics in town."

"Waaaah!", Madoka shouted barely evading a random arrow hitting the wall right next to her.

"Where did that come from?", Ginka asked curiously looking at the object.

Madoka followed his view. "Look, there is a message on it."

The redhead carefully took off the letter and unfolded the paper. "Ginka, I have to tell you something important, please meet me on the island—you know, the uninhabited one, with the stones and everything. Oh, and come alone. Your stalker."

What the hell was that? He was used to all sorts of things but a message this creepy had never reached him before.

"And? What does it say?", Madoka asked curiously.

"Hehe." Ginka laughed awkwardly. "I will defeat you and Pegasus. Bring your friends and come to the island", the redhead pretended to read. The truth was too creepy. And moreover, the legendary blader was afraid to go alone.

"And when do you fight me?", Kenta asked disappointed as the group headed towards the island.

"Don't worry", Ginka smiled. "I will fight you once I have beaten that blader."

"Why is some random stranger more important than I am?", the small boy asked. "We are best friends, aren't we? Would you fight me now if I send you a letter too?"

"Well … ", Ginka began as Kenta was already getting his pen ready.

"More importantly", Madoka interfered. "Does anybody of you know where that island is?"

"Can't you ask your computer?", the redhead asked irritated as he still was occupied with explaining to Kenta why strangers were more important. "You know, you're not really the best blader and writing an anonymous letter is cowardly, but also mysterious."

"I don't know why, but I don't have internet here", the girl answered after Ginka was finished with Kenta, desperately pressing the buttons of her keyboard. "It's really strange", she muttered. "I have WiFi everywhere, in the remote mountains of China and in the deserts in Africa, so why not here?"

"Another thing", Kenta began. "Isn't that island supposed to be deserted? How do we even get there?"

"Why aren't they coming?", Kyoya asked impatiently.

"Maybe because there is no ferry to this island?", Benkei offered carefully. Realistically, there was no way Ginka and the others could safely reach the island without having to brave the rough sea.

Kyoya just grunted. He was standing on a small boat for an hour now. But the blader didn't dare to change his position in case Ginka would arrive. Being cool was all about the entrance!

"K-Kyoya, can we please go back? I think this is too dangerous", Benkei complained—a rare sight. "We really shouldn't have stolen this boat..."

But facing the rough sea, the high waves and the sharp wind in such a small boat was definitely too much for him. With all his might the big boy used the oar to maintain their position, fighting to keep the boat from sinking. However, Benkei also couldn't deny the coolness of his friend as he was able to keep his balance and remain standing despite their environment.

"By the way", he began as he realized something. "How do we know when Ginka has arrived? I mean with all the fog…."

Kyoya just gave him an annoyed look. "I don't even know where the coast is. This fog was supposed to make me look cool but now it gives us a disadvantage."

"Let's just keep looking then", Benkei suggested and put all his might into moving the boat.

Finally, the fog lifted and the two boys realised that they had been right next to the island all the time and moreover, Ginka was already waiting. His clothes were still wet from swimming to the isolated island.

Kyoya was disappointed by the fact that the redhead had brought his friends along. It wasn't fair how Ginka always had more people supporting him than the green-haired blader himself! "So you finally made it", he greeted his rival, ignoring that he had made Ginka waiting.

"The awesome Kyoya is going to challenge you, Ginka!", Benkei shouted to the group at the shore. "He has trained hard and even stalked you all day! Not to mention the friendly and creative letter he sent you!"

Busy with shouting out how awesome his friend was, Benkei lost his balance and fell out of the boat, into the cold see. Kyoya, remaining standing despite all the pitching and tossing, just looked annoyingly at his big friend. Couldn't he have paddled the boat a bit further to the shore before leaving it?

"Grrr", Kyoya tried to suppress his anger.

"Aren't you coming?", Ginka asked wondering. "Or do you plan to fight me from the boat?"

"What's wrong with you?", Benkei asked as his friend still showed no intention to leave the boat.

"I knew using superglue wasn't a good idea", the green-haired blader muttered. "But otherwise it would have been impossible to keep standing… It would have ruined my cool entrance…."

Finally, the green-haired blader managed to free himself. "Ginka, be prepared!", Kyoya shouted jumping from the boat and landing with a cool pose. However, even he couldn't jump all the way to the shore. Instead, the boy felt cold water around his feet. Great, now he had to battle with wet feet …

"Ginka, let's start!", he shouted ignoring his feet. And a moment later their Beys clashed.

Please don't hate me for this...
