*Bell was still shocked at how strong Tara was and her Theseus was still in the center of the stadium as the pieces of Belial surrounded it*

Bell: That's... incredible..!

----

*Valt and Shu were just as surprised as everyone else was*

Valt: She was able to beat Bell in just one strike, that's incredible..!

Shu: I guess that goes to show what the Snake Pit has done to her..

Valt: Huh..?

----

Ranzo: Bell, i think this battle is over..!

*Bell was still in shock as Tara picked up her bey and started to leave*

Bell: Hey! This battle isn't over yet!

Tara: No, you've proven to be a waste of time..

*At that moment, Tara felt a wave of horror come over her and she looked down at her Theseus as it was glowing a silver and purple aura*

Tara: Theseus.. you still want to battle him?

----

*Theseus began to shine so bright that it blinded Tara and when her sight returned, she was in a Black Dreamscape and in front of her was her beys avatar: Theseus*

Theseus: Belial still has some light that needs to be erased!

*Tara looked up at her beys avatar confused, what did it mean "Light that needs to be erased"?*

Tara: What?

Theseus: You said you wanted to be the perfect blader in the world and overcome anything, is that correct?

Tara: Yeah, that is right.

*Theseus's eyes began to glow brightly as its rather demonic voice began to raise in tone*

Theseus: Then i suggest you get to it and drain that beys light!

*Tara's eyes widened in shock as the Dreamscape began to fade away*

----

*Tara turned back towards Bell and she held up her bey once again*

Tara: We can go again..

Bell: Ha! Exactly what i thought, now let's begin the next battle!

*The 2 bladers got set up at the stadium and Tara stared at Bell, her eyes glowing faintly*

Tara: I don't know why, but this guy reminds me so much of her..

*Tara's mind immediately wandered to her little sister who was still sick in the hospital*

---Flashback---

*Tara and Asha were in the park alone battling at one of the stadiums there and so far, Tara was winning everything! She smiled as she picked up her Prominence Valkyrie*

Asha: Aww.. you always win everything..! How did you get so strong?!

Tara: Because i am strong because i worked for it, being powerful doesn't just come naturally, you have to work hard in order to become the best you can be.

*Asha looked down at her bey which was a generic First Uranus.Unite.2D and she held up her launcher to go at it once again*

Asha: One more time!

*Tara just smiled and she took her position as well and the battle between the sisters continued*

---Flashback Ends---

*Tara looked down for a moment as she remembered her sister, she hoped she was doing better*

Tara: I battle and win for you Asha, i'll become the strongest in the entire world and nobody will stop me!

Ranzo: 1st Battle!!!

*The bladers took their positions and the next battle was about to begin*

Tara: That light i saw against Shu, i want to see that again.. i want to see if that power is truly legit..

Bell: We're going to show you no mercy, Belial truly reigns supreme!

*Bell had switched his H-Gear into High Mode*

----

Shu: Tara won the first battle but lets see if she can do it again this time.

Valt: Yeah..

----

Ranzo: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Zero Theseus had taken the center once again in Right Spin Balance Mode and Divine Belial was charging around the stadium at full speed*

Bell: Let's go! Adventure Shoot!!!

*Belial comes in for the blow and starts to fire off a barrage of attacks on Theseus*

Tara: You really think that's going to affect Theseus in the slightest?

Bell: We're not done yet!

*Belial lands another strike and budges Theseus out of the center and moves around the stadium once again*

Bell: Now blow them away!!

*Belial comes back around and knocks Theseus into the wall and it went flying into the air*

Tara: Hmm..?

Bell: Yes!!

*Belial was coming in hot as Theseus was starting to fall back down rapidly*

Bell: It's time! Belial!!!

Bell: It's all over! Strike with Divine Bomber!!

*Belial sped ahead as its Holy King form took over and Belial started to speed up rapidly*

Tara: There it is, that light again! I guess it was real after all..! Tch..!!!

*Belial makes contact with Theseus and deals an absolute devastating strike as its blades strike across the core and blade and it knocks it back into the wall and dealt some incredible damage*

Bell: It's a burst!! Wait what-?!

*It wasn't a Burst! Theseus was perfectly fine, Divine Bomber didn't do a single thing*

----

*Shu and Valt were shocked at what they were seeing*

Shu: It didn't work!? Divine Bomber should've ended it!

Valt: I guess there is more to this bey than we thought..

----

Tara: This is the power of Theseus's BU Lock! Now, Zero Phantom!!

Bell: The power of what now?!

*Theseus had moved back to the center as Belial was moving around the stadium at full speed*

Tara: Come on Bell! Show me what can do!

*Belial was coming for the attack and Bell was getting very worried*

Bell: Oh no..!!

Tara: This ends now! Theseus is going take away all of Belial's light! Now Theseus!!

*Bell's eyes widened as he watched Theseus emit a blinding light! At that moment, Belial slams into Theseus with full force and it was knocked high into the air and it was forced to burst*

Bell: O-Oh my...

*The battle was officially over! Theseus was no circling around the center as Belial's parts were scattered across the stadium, Tara stared into the stadium with no emotion at all!*

Ranzo: Z-Zero Theseus with a Burst Finish! Tara Vancouver wins with a Burst Finish!!

*Bell was absolutely flabbergasted at what just happened, his Belial was defeated with no effort at all, Theseus was way stronger than he had originally thought!*

Bell: What kind of power is that, it's absolutely unbelievable..

----

*Valt and Shu were shocked at what had just happened, they had never seen power like that before in their entire life*

Valt: Shu, what are you thinking?

Shu: I don't know but i don't like anything about this..

----

*Tara reached into the stadium and retrieved her bey, her eyes began to glow as she looked down at it with a slight frown*

Tara: Are you satisfied now, Theseus?

*Theseus started to glow with a faint silver and purple aura as the voice of Theseus echoed in Tara's mind*

Theseus: Not yet, i want even more!

*Tara sighed and looked towards Bell with a slight frown*

Tara: Bell, one more time!

*Bell looked towards Tara in shock as he had just put his bey back together*

Bell: Huh?!

---Later, At The New York Bulls---

*It was night time over in America and Lane Valhalla was alone in the New York Bulls training center and he stared down in to the stadium as his current Lucifer The End spun in the center of the stadium*

Lane: Bell Daikokuten The Demon King huh? Sounds like an interesting challenge for me and Lucifer..

*Lane watched as his Lucifer The End eventually came to a complete stop in the center of the stadium and his yellow eyes began to glow brightly, his Purple and Red Flare began to glow brightly*

Lane: Lucifer.. I'll evolve you into the worlds strongest Defense Type..

*Lane grabbed his Lucifer The End and he walked into the BeyLab and placed his bey on the table, he then took to the computer and pulled up his previous bey: Variant Lucifer and looked back at his Lucifer The End and immediately had an idea for what he wanted*

Lane: This is perfect, this new Lucifer will soon come to life..

*Lane began to work on his new bey, sparks began to fly as he began to work on the core, then the Blade which was the most special part of his new evolution, Lane then went to work on an Armor, A Disk and a new Driver for his new bey. After all the parts were designed and created, the new Lucifer was finally ready!*

Lane: It's finally ready..!

*Lane put his new Lucifer together and held it high as it began to glow with a bright purple aura*

Lane: It's finally completed! Welcome to the world, Barricade Lucifer!!

*Lucifer's flame began to ignite as its aura was super bright, it already had so much power and it hadn't even been tested yet! Barricade Lucifer had an Illegal Disk, a new Bearing Mobius Driver and a 10 Armor, it was truly the Ultimate Defense Type bey!*

Lane: Just you wait Demon King, i'm coming for you and i'm going to show you my fury!

*Lane's flare was glowing brightly as he smiled, he turned around and walked out of the BeyLab and out of the New York Bulls, he was headed for Japan*

---Meanwhile, Back In Japan---

Bell: What do you mean "one more time"?! You already defeated me!!

Tara: My Theseus craves even more, and i'm going to give it even more! This time i'm going to satisfy it's thirst by crushing you completely, i was going to take you back to the Snake Pit but the Data i've collected on you so far has proved to me that's not necessary anymore.

Bell: What are you talking about?

Tara: My mission was to gather data on you and bring you back to the Snake Pit for further testing but i've collected all the data i needed from you so i won't be doing that.

Bell: So this whole time you were just collecting data on me? Why?!

Tara: Because i was ordered to do so. I don't know what the Snake Pit will do with this information but as long as it benefits me, that's all i care about.

Bell: Tch.. In that case, i'll gladly take you on!

*Shu called out to Bell from the side and called him over for a moment*

Shu: Bell, Strategy meeting!

*Bell sighed and walked over to Shu and Valt for a Strategy meeting*

---

Bell: What is it?

Shu: If you're really going to battle her again, you need a plan to beat her, just going all out on the attack like you've been doing isn't going to work anymore.

Valt: I propose going on the Defensive this time, Theseus is a Balance Type but it has a lot of attack power based on what we recorded.

*Shu showed Bell a video from the 2nd Battle and to Bell's Surprise, the secret was revealed! Tara's Zero Phantom was an Upper-Styled move that could launch an upper attack on its opponent and deal massive damage due to the metal swords*

Bell: That actually explains it now..

Shu: Theseus has already shown us its defensive strategy but chances are it's going to use a more offensive strategy in this coming battle.

Valt: Which is why you should go with Defense Mode, High Mode should still work since it'll give you that extra needed resilience against Bursts.

Shu: But not just that, something isn't quite right with that bey or the blader who's wielding it. I would advise caution now that we have some idea what we're up against.

Bell: Defensive Strategy while in High Mode, i don't know how well it would work but i'll give it a try! I'm gonna send her to the abyss this time one way or another!

---

*Bell walked back over to the stadium as he grinned sinisterly and Tara just grinned back at him which started to creep Bell out*

Bell: W-What the..?!

*Tara began to change modes on her Theseus but it wasn't just the driver, she was switching the blades spin direction too*

Bell: W-What is she doing?!

*Tara finished her mode change and held up her changed bey to Bell and Bell was absolutely shocked at what he saw, Theseus looked entirely different now! Theseus was now in Left Spin Mode*

Tara: This is going to be the last battle..

{TBC}

Next Episode: Shadows! The Blade Of Theseus!!

The battle between Bell and Tara continues and Bell is stunned to find out that Tara's bey can not only spin to the right but to the Left as well! Later, another new opponent arrives on the scene!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Big news at the end of the Episode and it regards Lucifer (Which fun fact, was actually supposed to make its debut battle in this episode but got swapped due to its reveal being so unexpected)

These are photos of the new Lucifer which is called "Barricade Lucifer.Il.BMb-10"

As shown in the pictures above, it retains the Barrier gimmick from Variant Lucifer and it features a new Bearing Mobius Driver which is just the Mobius driver with a bearing inside. Basically Bearing Drift but with Mobius this time.
