It was now the next day and Bella had to work and act fast as her battle with Shu was the day after, Bella had also received 1 out of 4 different upgrades for Beherit so she needed to work on using it to its fullest ability. Bella stood in the New York Bulls training center and trained as hard as she could while even thinking about the new Adeona.
Bella: Legacy Adeona! Rubber attack blades and a driver that has incredible speed... It's amazing but before i can face off against it, i need to go through Shu and win against him!
*Bella looked down at her Beherit which was starting to glow the same dark aura that it did before, this time the aura had grown quite a bit. Bella kept on training and eventually Lane Valhalla had stepped up to the stadium*
Bella: Lane?
*Lane held up his bey, Dark Matter Lucifer.. The bey that was responsible for the destruction of so many beys in the past. Now it was being put to better use and was no longer a weapon of destruction*
Lane: Since you will be facing Shu again tomorrow, you need to train and practice considering you have lost to him twice. I also learned that Beherit has been upgraded so i decided to take it upon myself and test it out myself.
Bella: So you wanna challenge me? Very well then, i'll show you no mercy!!
*Dark Matter Lucifers old Dropper Driver glowed with a light of purple as Its old Spark-Drive System Gimmick worked as usual. The bey was infamous for the destruction of so many beys, including Adeona*
Lane: If you believe you can beat me then hold nothing back, i can take your attacks like they're nothing.
*Both bladers step up to the stadium and both bladers take their positions*
Bella: Dark Matter Lucifer, a defense type with burst locks just like the old Adeona. If i was able to defeat it then surely this will be a walk in the park! Beherit, with your new addition, we'll blow Lucifer into the skies!
Lane: Normally i wouldn't show my power to just anyone but it does appear she would be worth challenging already before i evolve to the Origin System.. Bella Akazara, show me what you can do, i hope you can show me a battle to look forward to.
*The two bladers made final adjustments and the battle began*
3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!
*The battle started and the 2 beys landed in the stadium and Lucifer was first to take the center as Beherit charged around the outer edge! Lane noticed that Beherits spin and stability was more stable thanks to the new upgrade*
Lane: So it's more stable therefore it has better attack and stamina, interesting..
*Beherit goes charging in and begins to fire a fierce barrage of attacks on Lucifer but neither of them could do any damage.*
Bella: Go forth Beherit, shred them into pieces!!
*Beherit slams into Lucifer but was instantly repelled, its lock sliding only a tiny bit*
Lane: So that new upgrade is helping, not bad but your real challenge is even laying a scratch on Lucifer.
*Lucifer was still spinning with high speed, its spin wasn't dwindling at all. Beherit kept on firing attack after attack on it and the only thing it did was make Lucifers lock advance to the burst stoppers*
Lane: It's over now! Dark Matter Wall!
*A wall of pure energy surrounded Lucifer and blocked Beherits next attack, sending it flying*
Bella: He may have the defense but we got the power!
*Beherit climbs onto the upper deck and rides along the slope of the secondary stadium and races back towards Lucifer at full speed*
Bella: Blow them away! Origin Thunder!!
*Beherit slams into Lucifer with full force but it was knocked back instead! Bella gasped as Beherit flew out of the stadium and fell on the ground behind her. Bella was in shock as she looked behind her and saw that Beherit had flown from the stadium*
Lane: Is that all?
Bella: W-What?!
Lane: If that is all you can bring to the table then you have no hope against Shu. I didn't even need to use my true power.
*Bella looked down towards the floor as she began to get even more frustrated*
Bella: Why wouldn't you fight me at full power!
Lane: Why would i show someone my true power when you just proved that you are not worthy of being defeated in such a manner?
Bella: I'll prove to you that i'm worthy in this next battle! Just you watch!!

*Athena was watching from the balcony above, she looked at her sister with a concerned expression as she felt something was up*
Athena: Bella..
*Legacy Adeona began to glow in her hand as it glowed a purple, white and gold aura! Athena watched as the 2nd battle was about to unfold*
---
*The 2 bladers took their position once again and Bellas eyes began to glow with a purple flame. Lane stared at her as he took his position, Athena wasn't the only one who could see it..*
Lane: There is a faint hint of darkness in her eyes, something is not right here..
*The 2 bladers got ready and the battle began*
3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!
*The beys land in the stadium and Lucifer took the center once again, the ring on its Dropper Driver already starting to lower itself to the arena*
Lane: Begin! Dark Matter Dropper!!
*Beherit races onto the Upper Deck and races around in the Secondary Stadium and traveled around in there*
Bella: Lucifer has now activated its Spark-Drive System.. I need to make whatever i throw at it count!
Lane: What's wrong? Is that all you got?
Bella: I need to scout a weakness in Lucifers design, if i can find one then this victory is as good as mine!
*Lucifer spun menacingly in the center as its golden flare started to materialize around it! Bella found the weakness and decided to now make her move*
Bella: Beherit go! Aim for that weak-point!!
*Beherit races out of the Secondary Stadium and charges towards Lucifer and clashes with it at full power, pushing in one of Lucifers burst stoppers and sending it flying*
Lane: What?!
---
*Athena watched with amazement in her eyes at what Bella was trying to do*
Athena: I see now.. She aimed for Lucifers Burst Stoppers and reverse its effect, not bad at all i'll admit. Bella Akazara.. you really are interesting.
---
*Lucifer was now on the moving around the stadium and Lane made his move*
Lane: It's pointless! Lucifer!!
Bella: We're going to end this in one shot! Beherit!!
*Beherit and Lucifer clash with all their might as bursts of energy surged throughout the stadium, Beherits lock started to advance but the friction from its new upgrade slowed it down*
Lane: Looks like its new power up saved it..
*Both beys were sent flying and Beherit scraped on its High Driver and started to speed up greatly*
Bella: This is the true power of our Beherit!
*Bella smiled as her eyes began to glow with a heated flame. Lane looked at her in surprise as he yelled out her name as parts of his hair began to burn with a cyan color*
---
*Athena gasped in surprise as the battle before her was getting more heated up*
Athena: Lane...
*Athenas eye was filled with a white light as she remembered that fateful day... the day she brought Lane back*
Athena: I haven't seen him this fired up since that day... Looks like Bella lit a flame under him again..
---
*The 2 beys clashed back and forth rapidly as neither one was willing to back down so easily*
Lane: Keep on going!
Bella: We're not going to lose!
*Both beys clash once again and again, both of them were getting super close to bursting*
Lane: Dark Matter Disaster!!
Bella: Origin Thunder!!
*The beys clashed and the stadium explodes in a burst of light! The beys flew up and burst at the same time! Both bladers were in shock and confused as they didn't know who won. Athena smiled and came down the stairs*
Athena: Simultaneous Burst Finish, Draw.
Lane: What are you doing here?
Athena: Well i have nothing to do so i came to watch you two battle, you both did pretty well.
Bella: I need a strategy to beat Shu. My battle with him is tomorrow and i desperately need a plan but i can't really think of one.
*Athena kneeled down to her height and smiled*
Athena: Well knowing Shu, he goes all out no matter what. He's at his strongest when he is serious and sometimes it's kinda frightening.
Bella: Is he really that strong?
*Athena nodded and placed a hand on Bellas shoulder*
Athena: You don't have to worry, i'm sure you'll be able to win tomorrow.
Bella: Why exactly are you taking me to all these bladers anyway?
Athena: Main is a huge threat to the beyblade world now that he's after us. It may not sound serious to you but it's actually really really serious. The safety of the blading world plus our reputation is on the line. If we are to defeat him then we NEED to get stronger no matter what.
Bella: I see...
Athena: I'm glad you understand and i'm glad you're helping us, we really couldn't do this without you.
Bella: Who are we going to face after this?
Athena: Well i pulled some strings and i arranged for us to meet the Demon King, Bell Daikokuten next.
Lane: Seriously? That kid?
Athena: He's strong isn't he?
Lane: You know that kid likes to pull annoying pranks right?
Athena: Disregarding that, he is great preparation for our battle with Main.
Bella: You mean THE Bell Daikokuten?!
Athena: Yeah. Bell was the inventor of the Dynamite Battle System and he's pretty strong too.
Bella: I wonder how strong he really is.
Athena: Well i never battled him myself but i have seen most of his battles, he really is the real deal.
Lane: Bell uses an attack type bey called Belial. It specializes in using explosive attacks to defeat its opponents, we have no info on whether or not Bell has upgraded to the Origin System yet.
Bella: Well who are we facing after?
Athena: If we're able to, we're gonna pay Lui a visit. Considering you already defeated him, you two should be well acquainted by now.
Bella: That Guilty Longinus of his, it was so strong but i still managed to break through it.
Lane: Lui has always been a tough blader to defeat, it's not easy winning against a left rotating bey like Longinus. It's incredible upper attacks and metal components make it one of the strongest attack type beys in the world.
Athena: Bella, considering Shu gave you the upgrade Beherit has now, Shu will probably play it safe in Defense Mode for the 1st battle. I would play it safe too just to scout a weakness like you did with Lucifer.
Bella: Scout a weakness? In Spriggan?
Athena: Spriggan has to have a weakness in it somewhere but where it could be i have no idea.
Bella: Do you have any ideas?
Athena: Well Spriggan spins both left and right. I heard about his new move, Atlas Ember and if things get drawn out too long or things get rough then he'll probably finish the battle quickly with that move. You need to be ready for anything he can throw at you, Shu is nearly impossible to read before battle.
*Bella nodded and stared down at her bey*
Bella: What about my new upgrade?
Athena: I could see that it helped you in the battle with Lane, if you can use it to its fullest then you shouldn't have any problems with Shu or any other blader you face.
Bella: How will i be able to obtain them all? The rest of Beherits upgrades.
Athena: Well i heard rumors, rumors that 5 individual parts were scattered across the entire world. These parts were said to be legendary pieces that once belonged to a bey that held incredible power however the bey was said to be destroyed and its pieces were since scattered across the world. Nobody really knows what happened to them but i believe that now that you have a bey that is compatible with them, those pieces can be put to use again. Maybe you could even use them against Main. The name of these upgrades was "The Origin Fragments"
Bella: Origin Fragments?
Athena: I have Bell as our next visit as i heard another Origin Fragment was found there in Japan. I would never have guessed after being there so many times, there would be something this spectacular hiding under the surface.
*Shu finally came forward and spoke up*
Shu: 3 of out of the 4 that are needed to complete Beherit are in Europe. The blader who once used these upgrades was primarily stationed in Europe, BC Sol should be your next target after you leave Hell's Gate.
Athena: How did you find the Strike Level Chip?
Shu: I found it not long after i created this new Spriggan. Mesmerized by the power radiating off of it, I wanted to put it on my Spriggan but it rejected it.
Lane: Rejected it?
Shu: Yes. After that experience, i decided to bring it back to New York with me to take a closer look at it.
Bella: Didn't you say you made it?
Shu: I lied, i didn't think you were ready for the actual story behind it.
Athena: And i lied when i said it was just rumors, all of this is a true story. My mother used to tell us this story when we were little but i never understood it back then but i do now.
Shu: Bella, these upgrades will provide incredible power to Beherit but they all have their own separate bonds that you will need to form with them. If you can do that, then you will be the strongest the world has ever seen.
*Bella looked down at her Origin Beherit, still equipped with the Strike Level Chip in surprise at what could be in store for her. This was a lot to take in*
[TBC]
Next Chapter: Bella VS Shu!!
The rematch between Bella and Shu begins and Bella uses the strategy Athena suggested! Meanwhile, pieces fall into place as Main Kuromi watches the battle, his bey began to glow from the power Beherit shows.
