*Bell sat alone in the Gates Of Hell thinking on what he should do to improve his skills, for once, he knew that Perfect Gear wasn't going to help at all.*

Bell: Belial..

*Bell was pulled into the Avatar World and Belial stood over him*

Belial: What's wrong, Bell?

Bell: Well we lost against Valt again and we lost against that new girl and that Savior Perseus, i still don't know how we managed to lose against both of them!

Belial: You still have not mastered our new power yet. A win against Valt won't come that easily until you've completely mastered everything about my new Evolution.

Bell: What about the Evolution Gears?

Belial: Unfortunately no, that'll take even more time to master.

Bell: What if i made new Evolution gears?

Belial: You've made Evolution Gears based on Valkyrie, Fafnir, Spriggan and Longinus! What other beys could possibly be a template for a new Gear? Even with Perfect Gear, there would be no other place to fit a new Gear.

Bell: I can just replace a gear for the new one, every gear is replaceable with something.

Belial: Still, i think it's a very unsafe idea at the moment. We can't use Evolution Gears until we've completely mastered our new power, that goes for the both of us.

*Bell just looked down as Belial continued to stare down at him*

Bell: I understand.

Belial: There seems to be something else on your mind, Bell..

Bell: It's just that.. i never did fully understand the whole thing behind this Star Fragment thing. Why did it choose us of all bladers?

Belial: The comet split and had to have chosen 4 other bladers, the answer as to why you were chosen and what the purpose is, but i do know that we can't back down and give up just yet!

*Bell just nodded and the avatar world disappeared, Bell jumped to his feet and he went off to find Chiyoh*

---Later---

*Bell had arrived at the Sparking Arena Training Center but he was surprised to see Chiyoh already set up at the stadium with Rashad Goodman*

Bell: Rashad..?

*The 2 bladers were talking as the battle between the 2 was about to begin*

Rashad: So you decided to come here after all.

Chiyoh: You know me, always aiming to be stronger.

Rashad: Savior Perseus.. it definitely sounds like a challenge to me.

Chiyoh: Heh and it'll be the bey that crushes Greatest Raphael!

*Chiyoh held up her Savior Perseus as it began to glow again, Rashad began to observe the bey as its light was getting even brighter*

Chiyoh: If you think you can keep up with us then i'd like to see you try!

Rashad: In that case, i won't hold back! I heard about your victory against Bell so you must be pretty strong now if you were able to defeat Divine Belial.

*Chiyoh remembered her battle with Bell, she remembered that Bell wasn't as strong as she though he was.*

Chiyoh: Yeah.. he's decent at best. But enough talking, let's get this battle started.

*The 2 bladers took their positions and the battle between the 2 started*

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Raphael had taken the center with its High Xtend+' driver in Defense Mode! Perseus was racing around the stadium at full speed and it raced in for the attack*

Chiyoh: Perseus! Go get him!!

*Perseus clashes with Raphael and began to land a fierce barrage of attacks upon it but Raphael stood strong*

Rashad: That's it! Keep going Raphael!!

*Raphael managed to counter Perseus and it went flying back but it kept on rolling*

Chiyoh: Perseus! Venture Shoot!!

*Perseus fired another barrage of attacks on Raphael and it was now doing some serious damage*

Chiyoh: This'll end it!

*Rashad smiled; The armors on Raphael unlocked and they were starting to move upwards, forming its infamous halo*

Rashad: Greatest Lord!!

*Raphaels halo had fully activated and Perseus was spinning around the stadium waiting for the perfect moment to strike*

Chiyoh: Now that its halo has come out, Raphael has become more circular and rounded.. it doesn't really have much weak-points now, i wouldn't expect anything less from the Supreme King!

Rashad: What's wrong? Is something the matter?

*Chiyoh was starting to get frustrated, Raphael wasn't slowing down at all now that its halo had formed*

Chiyoh: Perseus! Cut them down!!

*Perseus used its 3 sharp wings on the Savior Blade to land a brutal attack and it worked! Raphael was sent flying back!*

Rashad: W-What?!

---

*Bell who was watching the battle from the sidelines was also in surprise*

Bell: T-That's amazing..!

---

*Raphael landed back in the stadium and it regained its balance and sped up*

Rashad: We're not going down so easily! Hit em with Greatest Breaker!!

*Raphael sped up even more as a swirling vortex of light was glowing around it and it slammed into Perseus and sent it flying in retaliation*

Chiyoh: Not bad, i expected nothing less from the Supreme King!

Rashad: If you liked that then this next attack will surely blow your socks off!

---

*Bell was getting so psyched from the battle in front of him*

Bell: Chiyoh! Rashad!! Give it your all out there!

---

*Rashad and Chiyoh looked off to the side and noticed Bell at last, Rashad couldn't help but smile*

Rashad: Bell..

*Chiyoh on the other hand just gave a light smile*

Chiyoh: What does he want?

Rashad: Raphael!!

*Raphael was picking up insane speed as it reclaimed the center as its aura glowed brightly with its light*

Rashad: It ends here! Finish it off Raphael!!

Chiyoh: Show them your power! Perseus!!

*Perseus was picking up speed as its core began to emit a ray of light and it shined brightly turning into a Gold-Turbo like state*

Rashad: W-What is that?!

*Raphael was sent flying back and both beys were charging in for the center*

Rashad: Full power! Greatest Breaker!!

Chiyoh: End it!

*The 2 beys clashed with all their might and Raphael was starting to be pushed back and Perseus was beginning to glow even brighter, bolts of lightning were coming off of it*

Chiyoh: True Savior Slash!!

*The 3 swords burst out with 3 large flashes of energy and it was pushing Raphael back even more! Just then, cracks began to form in Raphael and it split apart with a loud shatter as Perseus passed right through it, the blades of energy still emitting from the wings*

Rashad: R-Raphael!!

Chiyoh: N-NO!!

*Chiyoh was just as surprised as Rashad and Bell were! Rashad had fallen to his knees as he picked up the pieces of his Raphael*

Chiyoh: R-Rashad.. i-

*Rashad wasn't listening as he was more concerned about the damage that was done to his bey*

Chiyoh: Rashad, i promise that was an accident! You have to believe me!

*Rashad turned and walked away without another word, Chiyoh was completely devastated*

Bell: R-Rashad..!

*Bell looked over at Chiyoh who was completely devastated by her actions, she didn't want to break Raphael at all but something within her had pushed her to that action*

Bell: What's wrong?

Chiyoh: I just shattered Raphael without hesitation.. everything is wrong! I didn't mean to do that!

*Bell just stood and looked at her, Chiyoh looked up at him with surprise*

Chiyoh: Why are you looking at me like you have the right to judge me!? Aren't you worried that i just shattered someones bey to oblivion!

*Bell just started laughing in perfect Bell fashion*

Bell: I've obliterated tons of beys in my day, it's not a new thing for me! Even though i never meant to break those poor beys, i don't see it as a big deal.

*Chiyoh looks at Bell with surprise, her entire perspective of blading was changing the more she spoke to Bell*

Chiyoh: No repercussions or anything?

Bell: Nope! They all go home and cry about it and i never see them again, it's a win-win! And nobody even cares that it ever happens, they literally forget it even happened.

Chiyoh: Still, i feel bad about what happened.. i wonder what Valt would think.

Bell: Maybe you should tell him, knowing Valt and his goofy self, i'm sure he'll think it's just a freak accident! Stuff like this happens in Beyblade whether its intentional or not.

*Chiyoh just looked down and she held her Perseus tightly*

Chiyoh: I wonder what happened within Perseus to have done something like that.. surely it wasn't Bell right? He wasn't even involved in the battle, so what could've happened..?!

---Later that day---

*Chiyoh had found Valt and she had to tell him about what had happened in the battle*

Valt: Oh i already know.

*Chiyoh was shocked at what Valt had just said*

Chiyoh: W-Wait what?!

Valt: Rashad already told me.

*Chiyoh flushed red with guilt and disappointment in herself*

Chiyoh: You're probably disappointed in me, aren't you? I was foolish to think i could get stronger so quickly..

Valt: I'm not disappointed in you but as evidenced by Rashad, i think its now time you put forth the effort in controlling your power.

Chiyoh: Yes Valt, i'll do exactly that!

Valt: You've gotten stronger for sure but controlling that power in order to prevent something like this from happening is very important. I had just received word that Bell had battled Aiga and did the same thing with Achilles, both of you need to learn how to control your beys.

Chiyoh: What must i do?

Valt: Why not get closer to Bell. I heard you two had already been acquainted so i think it would help if you two formed a better friendship with each other.

Chiyoh: You really think i should?

Valt: It would certainly help cheer you up.

*Chiyoh thought for a moment and thought about Bell, he did seem like a nice blader to train with*

Chiyoh: Alright, i'll do it. I just hope you're right about him.

*Chiyoh turned and walked away with a smile, she had felt so much better now that she could move on from what had happened, but still.. something eerie lurked in the back of her mind*

---Later that evening---

*Ranzo had returned to the Gates Of Hell as he hadn't seen his Amigo Bell in a little while, luckily for him, Bell was waiting at the Theater and was waiting at the stadium*

Ranzo: Amigo!

Bell: Been a while, i assume the one lower than me has come to challenge me to battle!

*Ranzo had jumped up to the stadium and he was incredibly fired up*

Ranzo: It's been some time since we've had a very exciting battle, let's see how well you do Amigo!

*The Demon King Drone came flying in and it hovered above the stadium, Chiyoh was also watching from the doorway*

Drone: 1st Battle!!

Bell: I know what i have to improve and i'll control Belial for sure!

*Bells eye began to glow as it flickered with a purple flame*

Drone: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Cyclone Ragnaruk had taken the center as Belial was charging around the stadium at full speed*

Ranzo: I-It's so fast!!

*Belial was slamming into the walls and its movements were all over the place*

Bell: Keep it together Belial! 

*Belial clashed with Ragnaruk but the attack had no effect*

Bell: Tch!

Ranzo: It's not over yet! Double Wing Cyclone!!

*Ragnaruks vortex of fiery winds burst to life and Belial was being pushed back by the storm and it kept on hitting the walls*

Bell: I'll show you the wrath of the Demon King! Adventure Shoot!!

*Belial tried to push through the tornado but it was still no good*

Bell: What's going on!?

---

*Chiyoh watched from the doorway and a disappointed look came across her face*

Chiyoh: It's over..

---

*Belial had hit the wall once again and it was then pulled into the skies and it was thrown from the stadium*

Bell: W-What?!

Drone: Cyclone Ragnaruk with an Over Finish! Ranzo Kiyama earns 1 point!!

*Ranzo celebrated his victory as he slid the glasses off of his face*

Ranzo: How'd ya like that? You may not have wings but i still sent you flying!

*Bell was incredibly frustrated as he picked up his bey*

Bell: What's going on? Why can't i master you Belial?!

---

*Chiyoh continued to watch as her eye emitted a small hint of kindness, it glowed a light green flame that somehow reached Bell's heart*

Chiyoh: Bell..

---

*Bell was confused as to what just happened but whatever it was, it gave him the resolve he needed to win the next battle*

Bell: Belial.. let's win this next battle for good!

Drone: 2nd Battle!!

*To Ranzo and even Chiyoh's suprise, Bell was smiling*

Ranzo: H-He's smiling?!

Bell: With the explosive attack of Belial, we're going to win the next battle!

Ranzo: Oi Amigo! You're forgetting who's got the lead right now!

*Bell smiled again as his eyes began to glow*

Bell: So? That's only the start of your demise!!

Drone: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Ragnaruk had taken the center once again and Belial was racing around the stadium at full speed, its spin stable this time*

Ranzo: Double Wing Cyclone! Now!!

*Ragnaruk wasted no time in getting its cyclone formed, Belial however was unaffected*

Ranzo: What's wrong? The Demon King isn't running right?

Bell: You're out of your own mind if you think i'm running away!

*Belial was charging in and it was landing a fierce round of attacks upon Ragnaruk*

Ranzo: Ragnaruk! Hold on tight!!

*Ragnaruk used its Never Driver and its overall heavy weight to keep itself from being knocked back too hard and it returned to the center*

Bell: Keep it going! Adventure Shoot!!

*Belial was landing attack after attack on Ragnaruk and was actually starting to do some serious damage*

---

*Chiyoh was now surprised at what was happening, Belial was more controlled and stable now*

Chiyoh: Belial isn't losing control like it was before.. Bell must have done a lighter shoot so Belial won't run as wild but it still has enough momentum to deal a good deal of damage.

*Chiyoh felt her heart racing*

Chiyoh: I guess Bell really has given me a whole new perspective on Beyblade.. he really is interesting..

---

Ranzo: Ragnaruk!!!

*Ragnaruk had returned to the center and it was still going strong*

Ranzo: We're going to knock you out of the stadium! Brazilian style!!

*Ragnaruks vortex of winds were picking up again and it was channeling more and more winds from its Stamina Wings*

Bell: Not so fast! Go Belial!!

Belial: Let's go!!

*Belial tilted on the rubber of its Adventure Driver and it picked up a massive burst of speed as it charged around the stadium at full speed and it was coming straight for Ragnaruk*

Ranzo: W-What?!

Bell: Ignite and Explode! Divine Bomber!!

Ranzo: Double Wing Cyclone!!

*Belial and Ragnaruk collided and the stadium exploded with a burst of energy and the one that was burst was Ragnaruk*

Ranzo: W-What?!

Bell: Yes!!

Drone: Divine Belial with a Burst Finish! Bell Daikokuten is the winner with a final score of 2-1!!

Bell: We did it! I won!!

*Ranzo was incredibly frustrated but he just smiled as he was happy for his friend*

Ranzo: You may have won this time but next time, i'll get you for sure!!!

*Bell just laughed but not before seeing Chiyoh who saw everything enter the room*

Bell: Chiyoh?

Chiyoh: If it's alright with you, i'd like to join you guys.

Ranzo: Join us?!

Chiyoh: If that's alright..

Bell: What for?

Chiyoh: You and I both have a long way to go if we truly want to master our beys abilities, i want to get stronger alongside you and your friends here.

*Bell smiled and he continued his loud cackle*

Bell: The Demon King Approves! You may join!

*Bell jumped the ledge of the stadium to make himself more taller and he stared down at Chiyoh*

Bell: I just hope you can give us a challenge every now and then!

*Chiyoh just smiled, she felt like she finally found the place where she truly belonged*

[TBC]
