Hi guys, it's been...a while, since I wrote anything on Fanfiction for a good while. I've been missing in action but I decided to start things experimenting on writing an OC character. This is the first time I'm writing an OC so there are bound to be problems along the way. I will try to correct them as I go on.

Summary: Ling was another one of Doji's pawn for his organisation. When he brought Ryuga in, he was the wheel that sets her life in motion. Watch as her story unfolds into something she wouldn't have expected.

Disclaimer: I do not own Metal Fight Beyblade, Adachi Takafumi does. I just write stories for fun.

Chapter 1: Departure, Arrival, Revelation

"M-mama, papa, w-why do I have to leave? D-did I do something bad?"

The teary eyed girl named Ling, was close to crying as she clutches her mother's dress. She looked about 8 years old, with long midnight black hair and eyes. Wearing a plain baby blue shirt with brown pants and white shoes. Few strains of her bangs covering her face as she tries to hide her eyes from her parents. As she peeks around her bangs she could see her stern mother frowning at her behaviour.

The little girl was startled by the sound of the doorbell, tightening her tiny fingers not wanting to let go. As she sees her father walked towards the front door, she felt like she was suffocating. She felt afraid.

Afraid to leave.

Soon the door creaked open and standing there was her uncle. She made a soundless gasp and her eyes widened. She turn to look at her mother pleading silently at her. She didn't want to go with him. He was not a nice man, at least with to her. She didn't know much about her uncle, but she knew well enough that he didn't like her. She didn't know why, she didn't remember ever doing anything wrong. All she knows she doesn't want to be near him.

"M-mama…"

Ling couldn't hold her tears any longer, soon a tear slowly dripped down from her eyes. Her mother just stared. She couldn't tell if her mother was even sad, her expression which she couldn't read. It made her feel scared. Did she not love her anymore?

"Ah you're right on time. How was your day?"

"Hmm, it could've been better."

She could see her uncle's icy smile from the side of her father's body, devoid of any emotion. As if he knew she was staring he turned his head, eyes narrowing down at her small form. She whimpered as she tried to hide behind her mother's body. However her mother forcefully pushed her towards her uncle and she ungrasp her tiny hands from her dress.

She gasped loudly at the sudden action, even standing near her uncle made her scared. She wanted to hide, hide back in her room. She tries to grab her mother's hand but her mother kept pulling her hands away from the girl. Soon her mother started talking loudly, she didn't realise she was now wailing.

"Take her off our hands. I swear if anything happens-"

"Don't worry, as much as I…detest the idea of having to take care of her. She is of some uses to me in the future."

"And what of the money?"

"I've sent it to your account. You'll be free to do whatever you want with it."

Her wailing had soon gotten louder and louder. She didn't hear her uncle sighed and glaring at her in annoyance. Her cheeks were covered with her tears, teardrops on her shirt and snot from her nose starting spilling. It was disgraceful to look at.

Her uncle clicked his tongue under his teeth and grabbed her wrist harshly. She was screaming, struggling to get her uncle to let go of her hand. She started scratching his hand using her free hand.

Soon a resounding slap could be heard. Her screaming immediately stopped, her eyes grew wide and her mind still processing as to what had happen. She looked to who had slapped her and winced as her father glared at her.

"That is enough out from you Ling. You are leaving and that's final."

She could feel the weight of his words, her throat soon felt dry and her eyes started watering again. She felt a forceful tug away from her parents and closer to the black car. The driver outside opened the back door and her uncle shoved her inside. The driver picked up her luggage while her uncle briefly talked to her parents. Her tiny hands touching the glass window as she could see her uncle and his driver walking towards the car. Both doors shut and the engine roared alive. The girl kept staring at her parents, hoping that they would still take her back home. Her heart soon broke into despair as they just entered into the house and not bothered to look at her. Soon the car moved, she continued to stare at the house, so badly holding onto her hope. Her mind was in chaos, she barely heard what they were talking about.

"Master Doji, are we going back to the Dark Nebula Headquarters?"

"Yes please do. I want to quickly wash my hands off this filth I've just touched."

"Yes sir."

As soon as she reached the headquarters, she was immediately being dragged into her room to get changed into a teal green shirt and jacket with white stretch pants. She had cleaned her face away from tears and snot. She didn't know what was going to happen to her. She turn to look around to see only a bed, a closet, a table with a computer and an in-built bathroom. The whole place looked plain and white. Being in the room just makes her feel even lonelier.

She soon heard the door slide open and sees a stranger standing outside. She looks at him with uncertainty, unsure of what she should do.

"Ms Ling, I'm here to escort you to where Master Doji is."

The way he spoke made her flinch, it wasn't menacing or harsh, just uncomfortable. Seeing as she wasn't moving out of her room he spoke to her in a louder voice.

"If you don't follow me you'll be punished. Hurry up."

She swallowed her none existence saliva down her throat and quickly followed him. As she tried to catch up to him, she took a look around, metal, metal, metal. That's all she sees, metal. Nothing comforting or warm about this place. She could see a lot of corridors and lifts. It looked more of a maze than anything else she was used to. There were some parts of the corridor that had a transparent window showing many exercising equipment and older looking boys training inside. She could see some in the strange dish-like shaped hole on the ground. The boys were holding onto a contraption she has never seen before, a shiny triangular-like object attached to the contraption.

She held her breathe as she watches them launch the object into the hole, both yelling their moves and attacks. She sees the two objects clashing head on, for some strange reason it looked enticing. It felt like her soul was being dragged into their fight. She held her breathe as she continued to watch from behind the window.

"Hey, why did you stop?"

She jumped and turned around, looking at him guiltily. She didn't realise she had stopped walking. He walked up to her and look at what got had caught her interest. She could hear him chuckling under his breath.

"Ah I see, you are watching them beyblading eh?"

She slowly blinked her eyes at him and tilted her head to the side.

"Beyblading? What's that mister?"

His eyes widen slightly and stare at her for a few seconds. He scratched the back of his neck feeling embarrassed to be called mister.

"Beyblading is a form of sport girl. A lot of people from around the world play this. It is a competitive sport that everyone fights and see who the best amongst us. You see those things spinning in the ring? Those are called Beyblades."

Ling made and 'o' shape with her mouth as she stares at the beys. However she couldn't stay long as the stranger gave her a last warning and reluctantly followed him as they went into the lift. Once the doors open she was amazed to see a large room filled with machines. She gasped in surprise as the stranger gently pushed her out of the lift.

"Master Doji is inside, he's not that far in so you should be able to locate where he's at."

As soon as he was done the shut the lift door closed. As much as she didn't want to, she had to look for her uncle, where ever he was. She didn't have to look too long as she sees her uncle holding onto a Beyblade. As she walked closer she saw her uncle turned towards her with a frown on his face.

"Ah you finally made it. I hate people that keeps me waiting."

"I'm sorry." She apologises in a weak tone and looks down on the floor.

"Hmph, I'm a very busy man and I have other work do to. Unfortunately I do not have the time to educate you on how to use this."

She glances up and saw his outstretched hand holding onto a Beyblade. The bey's appearance look majestic in her eyes. The silver face bolt looked like it was a sabretooth tiger roaring outlined in gold, the black energy ring with orange strips making look like it has claws that could pop out. The fusion wheel had sharp-like edges that looked like claws, a spin track that had 3 triangular shape spiked edges and the black performance tip has a bit of tilt towards the tip. (A/N: My apologies I am horrible at describing objects. The only real objects here are the spin track [UW145] and performance tip [SD].)

"Well what are you waiting for, take it."

She quickly took it in her hands with her mouth open. She held onto it like it was fragile.

"This is Shadow Saber, a balanced type bey. This will be your Beyblade from now on."

She jerked her head up at him giving him her surprised expression.

"T-this is…mine?"

He sighed impatiently, "Yes this is yours."

"Thank…you…"

Her breathe was taken away, surprised as to why her uncle would give her something like this. As quickly as she smiled at him, she quickly lost it as she sees Doji smiling coldly down at her.

"Aren't you going to ask why I gave it to you?"

A shiver ran down her spine, she looked at him with fear in her eyes not knowing if she wanted to know the answer. As much as she didn't want to ask, her child-like mind wanted to know the reason.

"W-why uncle?"

His smile soon grew into a smirk. How foolish of her.

"The reason is dear girl, is that you are just my pawn. A worker bee. Whatever I want you to do, you listen to me. If I tell you to jump off the building, you'll do so."

"W-why d-do I have t-to?"

"Why you ask? Why, your parents sold you to me! I am entitled to use you however I want!"

She could feel her eyes slowly building up tears trying to hold it in. She tried to counter back at him but only ended up in sniffles as tears soon escape.

"S-sold? B-but p-papa and mama l-love me! T-they would n-never sell me away!"

"Oh really?"

Doji stalked towards her as she tries to back away to only ended up tripping on the floor. She whimpered and stared at her uncle. She couldn't look away from him, she couldn't move. She was too afraid to do anything.

"If they loved you why would they want to take you away? Why would they leave you in my hands? Why would they abandon you?"

He leans in closer to her face, smirk widening as he sees her slowly breaking. She tried covering her ears hoping to not hear what he had to say.

"S-stop! I don't want to hear it anymore!"

She could hear him cackling and he continued to speak, ignoring the poor girl's plea.

"Oh Ling, they never loved you. They never intended to have you. You were nothing but a burden to them. Oh they tried to be happy with you but they just couldn't. They don't want you anymore."

"No! No, no no!"

Ling dropped to the ground on her knees with hands still covering her ears. She cried her heart out. Soon there was a resounding loud slap and her body soon fell to the ground with a loud thud. Her eyes grew wider and more tears were spilled.

"That is enough, you are disgraceful enough as it is. Crying isn't going to get you anywhere."

That cold, cold voice. She never thought she would ever hear something so cold. Her mind soon zoned into several short burst of negative thoughts.

She tried so hard, tried to be a good girl. She did everything they wanted her to be but they, hated her? How was it possible? She saw signs of it but she ignored them hoping it was an illusion. Had her parents really hated her that much to be left with her uncle? Only to be lead to pain and suffering?

"This is Doji, bring someone here and get the girl into training immediately. I will not waste any more time with her."

She could vaguely hear her uncle talking on the phone, leaving her on the ground crying. Soon someone did come by, the stranger dragged her up by her jacket holding her bey and took her to one of the training rooms for her to be used for whatever purpose Doji wanted.

For the next few gruelling years, Ling trained to be a blader, her studies soon added into the mix to deem her fit into society by her generous uncle. She soon felt her freedom just…vanish. Almost becoming like a puppet under Doji's orders.

It wasn't until she met him…

The one egotistic male who call himself…

Ryuga.

Ok so my main goal for this first chapter is to just branch out her background before going into the whole anime sequence. It won't be too long, I'm hoping to get it done by the next chapter.

For now I'm just seeing how this story will continue, how you guys react to it and how many are interested in the story. If this doesn't get much interest I'll probably just change this into a two-shot and maybe changed the story a bit.

I know the anime has been over like years ago and there are lesser people reading it, but I would like to think there are still some fans still lingering around. Anyways thanks for reading! Do leave your reviews/thoughts on this chapter so I know what you guys think about it.
