*Bella stood shocked in the abandoned factory as the pieces of Beherit rested on the cold concrete floor, she had lost the first battle by a burst finish to the blader that had defeated Athena so easily a few days before*
Bella: T-That's amazing...!! Michael is so strong!!
Main: Bella Akazara.. i know for a fact that isn't all you have right?
Bella: Tch..!
Main: If that's the case then you can gladly get out of my sight!
*Athena eventually came through the doorway of the abandoned factories main room and she stared between the 2 bladers*
Athena: I'm sorry, am i interrupting something?
Bella: Athena..?!
Main: What do you want?
*Athena walked into the factory and she stood between the stadium*
Athena: You 2 are having a battle so i wanted to come watch.
*Bella looked back towards her opponent who started to grin widely*
Main: I will use this battle to get even stronger and fuel my power even further! The more i win, the more powerful i'll become! Winning is absolutely everything!!
*Bella and Athena just stared at him in bewilderment*
Bella: Beyblade is much more than just winning! It's about having fun and enjoying yourself in a fun battle! Don't you have fun when you battle?
Main: It's fun when i win! Your ideology of Beyblade is incredibly flawed...!
Bella: Flawed?
Main: In this next battle, i'll teach you what Beyblade is truly about and i'll show you the devastating reality of a loss!
*Athena just watched the confrontation take place and she began to think about the future*
Athena: Main.. how deep are you willing to go?
---
*The match was reset and the 1st battle was about to begin again and Bella started to concoct a plan in her head, one that could possibly work*
Bella: Firstly, the best thing to do is to get that Armor out of here.. if i am hit by it then its game over for me. The next thing is to wear down its stamina and then finish it with either a Spin or Over Finish, that could work.. let's go with it.
*Both bladers take their position and the battle began*
3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!
*The beys landed in the stadium and Michael took the center immediately as Beherit comes rushing in for the attack*
Bella: Yes! Now get in there!
*Beherit started to fire a barrage of attacks on Michael and started to knock it around just like it did in the 1st battle*
Main: If that's how you're playing then i'll end it all the same! Primary Dagger!!
*Michael used its armor spikes to repel Beherit and knocked it away*
Main: How's that?
*Beherit hits the wall but manages to survive and kept on going*
Bella: We're only getting started! High Shoot!!
*Beherit comes rushing in and keeps its barrage of strikes going*
Main: Is that all you got?
Bella: Now end this!
*Beherit lands another attack and Michaels Primary Armor went flying off*
---
Athena: So he's gonna use the armor... Bella, be careful...
---
*The armor fell to the stadium and Michael launches it into the wall and it was sent flying up*
Bella: What is he doing?
Main: Now go! Michael!!
*The armor comes flying back down and Michael was on approach towards Beherit*
Bella: Beherit watch out!
Main: You're too late! Primary Lord!!
---
Athena: So that's how he beat me... he used the round shape and heavy weight of the layer along with the spiked armor to launch a pincer attack on Adeona, forcing a burst no matter what! I have to admit, that's impressive!
---
*Michael and the armor slam into Beherit with full force and the stadium was filled with a light of gold and Beherit went flying up*
Main: It's over..!
*Beherit didn't burst and it landed back in the stadium perfectly fine and the Primary Armor had been launched out of the stadium*
Main: It survived?!
Bella: We've seen that move before! Don't think for 2 seconds we'll fall for that..!
Main: Well it wouldn't be interesting otherwise..
*Michael took the center of the stadium and Beherit was racing around the stadium with its stamina still holding on*
Bella: What else can i do? The armor is out of the ring but Michael still has plenty of stamina left.. i can't just keep attacking or else Beherit will run out of spin before it does and its Primary Lord already took out a good chunk of my stamina..!
---
Athena: Even if she keeps attacking, Main will find a way to endure it and counterattack.. taking the center is just preserving his stamina.
---
Main: What's wrong? Don't tell me you're stumped now? If you can't find a weakness in Michael then that's fine, i'll find one in your bey though!!
*Main began to grin like a psycho as Michael started to glow again, its golden light filling the stadium*
Bella: There's that light again..!
*Beherit comes rushing in as it tilts on its High Driver and charges straight for Michael, its golden light bursting forth as well*
Bella: I'm gonna do the one thing i can do, attack with all i got! High Shoot!!
*Beherit fired off more and more vicious attacks but Michael wasn't even close to wavering*
Bella: Don't give up! Keep pushing!!
*Beherit clashes with Michael and started to push it back, the Bearing' driver was now going off balance*
Main: Oh?
Bella: Beherit!!!
*Beherit kept on pushing Michael back and its stamina was starting to falter*
Bella: Let's go!! Origin Thunder!!
*Glowing gold even brighter, Beherit used its Plastic+Rubber+Metal bladed pattern to slash across Michael and launch it out of the stadium, the bey landing next to its armor*
Main: W-What the?!
Bella: I... I actually did it!!
---
*Athena got to her feet in amazement, Beherit had just scored a point on Michael.*
Athena: She actually did it..
---
*Main grinned and picked up his bey, facing Bella once again*
Main: I have to admit, that wasn't half bad.. That Origin Thunder move of yours is really troublesome.
*Bella grins and she held up her bey too*
Bella: It's the move that defeated Valt, Shu and Bell! And now it'll be the move that'll defeat you too!!
Main: I'm afraid that's not going to happen! I was originally going to absolutely destroy you in this battle but now you've proven to me that you are someone worth toying with.
---
Athena: Toying with.. what is he talking about?
---
Main: After this battle is over regardless of who wins, i'll mentally be with you at all times. I want to see your true darkness, i want to see that golden light that Beherit contains turn into the darkness of the abyss!
Bella: Darkness?
Main: The Origin Fragments. They're your only hope of defeating me right? With all of them, Michael won't be able to win at all.. but there is something in the legend that you were never told.
Bella: And what is that?
Main: Those fragments that you have put on Beherit are pieces that once belonged to a bey that ruled over the blading world in ancient times. However, the beys name is undisclosed but it was used by someone who wanted to use them for ill intentions.
*Athena stepped forward and placed a hand on Bellas shoulder*
Athena: Don't listen to him..
Main: You want to know why those pieces are scattered across the world? Because the bey that used them was a bey of darkness, it infected the pieces with its own darkness and slowly, you're becoming consumed by said darkness.
Athena: Those are lies!
Main: I'm afraid you're the one who is telling the lies.. You may know the legend well but did ever tell her the full story? If you did then maybe Bella would've thought more about what she is getting herself into.
Athena: Why do you care so much?!
Main: I don't care at all, but someone needs to tell her at least the rest of the truth.
Athena: And what good do you think that will do?
Main: Maybe it'll do no good at all.. But at least the truth is out.
*Main turned and walked away, not finishing the battle.*
Bella: Where are you going?!
Main: I'm done here, i'm not interested in battling you anymore.
Bella: H-Hey..!!
Athena: Just let him go.. he's not our concern for now.
Bella: What was he talking about? The Darkness of the Origin Fragments?
*Athena just looked at her sister and finally decided to tell her the truth*
Athena: Everything he said was true Bella.. i just wish you didn't have to hear it from him..
Bella: Am i going to be ok? I don't want to turn into a monster.. But why didn't you tell me about this danger before?
Athena: Because if i told you, you wouldn't take the risk.. it was better off swept under the rug but i guess that's no longer possible now.. Me and Lane know what its like to fall to darkness, i didn't want to see you go down that path either.
Bella: Athena..
Athena: I wouldn't forgive myself if i saw you fall to darkness, i would've felt like i had failed you if that happened.
Bella: Main said he was going to be in my head constantly, i think that could happen anyway..
Athena: I'm so sorry for all of this, no more lies..
*Athena took her sister by the hand and squeezed it lightly*
Athena: I promise.
Bella: Thank you, all i want is the truth. Nothing more and nothing less.
Athena: I understand.
Bella: I get you were trying to protect me but lies hurt worse than any kind of harm Main could inflict.
Athena: Well you've got a point there.. i too have been lied to a few times in the past as well.
*Bella then ran off to find Main again, she wanted to finish her battle with him*
---Later---
*Bella eventually found Main in the WBBA Beyclub Arena and he was stood at one of the stadiums there. The arena they were in was the place where battles like Rashad Goodman VS his associates Ilya Mao and Basara Suiryo, Phenomeno Payne VS Rashad and many others.*
Bella: Main!!
*Main looked up and his face wasn't exactly amused*
Main: If you're here to face me again then forget it! I already told you i wasn't interested in battling you now!
Bella: Well i'm not leaving until we've battled again!
Main: I said get out!
Bella: No!!
Main: What! Don't be stubborn and get out of my sight!
Bella: Nope! I will not leave until i have battled and finished our battle!
Main: The battle was already decided! I would've won by burst finish.
Bella: Oh really?! Did you run away because you knew i would win?
*Main just looked at the kid and simply sighed*
Main: One battle. If i win then i want you gone from this place and i don't want to see you anytime soon!
Bella: And what if i win?
Main: Well that's for you to decide. I don't much care what it is.
*Both bladers get set up at the stadium and Main just looked at the girl*
Bella: We're continuing where we left off! The score is still 0-1.
Main: Why did she come all this way just to battle me? Just why?
*The bladers took their positions and the battle started*
3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!
*The beys landed in the stadium and Michael took the center once again*
Main: Now, let's see what you have in store for me this time..!
Bella: We're going all out this time, no holding back!!
*Beherit wasted no time going on the attack as it started to fire off a barrage of vicious strikes*
Main: So you're attack has gotten a little better, not bad..
*Michael tilts on its Bearing' Driver and tilted on its side as it kept on spinning, blocking Beherits next blow*
Main: But still, Beherit will fall by my hand!
*Beherit keeps on launching its assault and was blown back*
Bella: High Shoot!!
*Beherit uses the ring on its High Driver to accelerate and pick up some incredible speed and launch a faster barrage*
Bella: Keep the attacks coming!
Main: Primary Dagger!
*Michael uses the spikes on its armor to knock back Beherit but it was no use as Beherit wasn't stopping*
Main: Is your plan to chip away all of my stamina and then finish me off with another Over Finish? You're so boring..!
*Michael counters and the recoil sent it on the move*
Bella: There has to be a way to beat its defenses!!
*Michael was starting to pick some speed as its golden light began to burst forth once again*
Bella: Beherit!
Beherit: Let's go!
Main: That won't work on us!
*Beherit clashes with Michael and its armor went flying off and it landed outside of the stadium*
Bella: Yes!
Main: Won't make a difference.. i don't even need my armor here to defeat you..!
*Michael returned to the center after its armor was blown off, its stamina still going strong*
Bella: How does it still have so much stamina left..!!
*Main began to scream as his right eye began to emit a golden stream of energy, his hair spiking upwards and his aura bursting forth*
Main: Michael!!
Bella: I got it! Michael can block attacks from the ground but can it block an aerial attack?
*Beherit started to speed up and it hit the wall and went flying up into the air*
Main: You really believe that will work?
Bella: Now! Origin Dive!!
*Beherit began to fall back down, an aura of purple and red surrounding it as it fell straight for Michael, planning to end it with this one attack*
Main: Do it! Primary Sphere!!
*A clear yellow dome completely surrounds Michael which could block any kind of attack! Beherit lands on top of the sphere and the damage it took was so astronomical that it burst on contact*
Bella: W-What?! Impossible!!
*Mains aura began to calm down and he stared down at the kid, as he started to walk away without any word*
Main: I win.
*Main left the room and Bella was left alone, stunned at what just happened*
Bella: What just... happened...
---Meanwhile---
*Athena was in the airport and she finally reunited with Lane and Rangara who had finally returned to Japan*
Athena: It's about time ya'll got here.
Lane: Where's Bella?
Athena: She battled Main today and she's off to finish the battle they started earlier.
Lane: I see..
*Athena looked over at Rangara and was rather surprised to see him*
Athena: You're here too..
Rangara: Yeah! Shu let me go early.
Lane: He still has a ways to go but Shu wanted to go ahead and let him come back to the group.
Athena: Well it's good to have you back. Bella defeated Bell so now we're heading to the Island Of Demons where Lui is at.
Lane: Actually.. i want to have a chance to battle her again with my new Bey.
*Lane Valhalla held up his newly completed Origin Bey, Harbinger Lucifer.Burn.Drift'*
Athena: So it's finally completed huh?
*Lane nods as his eyes flashed yellow! Harbinger Lucifer had a similar shape to Lucifer The End but a bit more rounder. It had super soft rubber in the layer for absorbing any oncoming attacks. It was the perfect defense type bey*
Lane: This is Harbinger Lucifer and i want my first opponent to be Bella.
Rangara: Speak of the devil, here she comes now..
*Bella was coming down the airport hallway and she came up to the group*
Bella: Lane? Rangara?! What are you guys doing here?
Athena: They've come back to the journey, they're here to stay this time.
*Lane looked at Bella and held his bey up to her*
Lane: Bella! This Harbinger Lucifer will be your next opponent before you fight Lui!
*The bey glowed in his hand and Bella was in amazement at what she was seeing*
[TBC]
Next Chapter: The Pitch-Black Sun! Harbinger Lucifer!!
Bella and Lane have a fierce rematch before they head to Lui's place. Meanwhile, Valt, with the help of his friends finishes the construction of his new Origin Bey!
