The Ultimate Legacy Tour Airship was now making its way towards Battle Island

Wakiya: There it is, Battle Island!

Bell and the others looked out the window and saw the massive island below, this is where the Battle Journey Tournament was held

Bell: Amazing..

Phoebe: Our opponent is really down there huh?

Wakiya: Yep, and i've already let him know we're here!

Down below on the surface, Aiga Akaba stared up at the sky as he watched the Airship hovering in the sky and he gave a huge grin

Aiga: Alright, bring on the challenge!

---Some Time Later---

Everyone was soon on the ground and they were greeted by Aiga Akaba himself

Aiga: Greetings everyone, my name is Aiga and i'm ya'lls final opponent for this tournament.

Bell gave a grin as he stepped forward

Bell: So you're the so-called World Champion, you dont look like it to me..

Aiga: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!

Bell: If you are indeed a Champion then why don't you prove it?

Aiga: Why you-!

Wakiya: Bell! Stop that!

Phoebe was actually quite excited, she couldn't believe she was meeting Aiga.

Aiga: Well i did say to Wakiya that i wanted a Battle Royale so Bell, i nominate you as the 1st blader!

Ranzo: Who's gonna be the 2nd one?

Aiga thought for a moment as he looked between Phoebe and Ranzo, ultimately, he picked Phoebe

Aiga: Phoebe! I pick you as well!

Ranzo deadpanned, better luck next time

Everyone headed to the Battle Arena but something caught Ranzo's eye, someone was on a Paraglider in the sky

Ranzo: Who is that?

Bell: Ranzo! Come on!!

Ranzo: Im coming! Jeez..

Ranzo followed after the group but the person on the Glider was still watching them
------
Aiga, Phoebe and Bell were all at the stadium and Aiga held up his bey

Aiga: This is my partner, Zest Achilles!!

Bell: Zest Achilles huh?

Phoebe: It's a super strong Balance Type..

Phoebe noticed two large protrusions on the top and bottom of the Zest Blade

Phoebe: Those look dangerous, gotta watch our for those.

Aiga: Belial is an Attack Type and the Pandora Phoebe is going with is a Defense Type.. i'm gonna show them the power of the Ultimate Balance Type!

Aiga removed the Zest Sword off of the Blade and set the Quattro' Driver into its Balance Mode
------
Wakiya: Look at that, looks like Aiga is planning to use Balance for this battle.

Valt: Looks like Aiga has a strategy in mind.

Ranzo: Amigo! Aiga just did something to his bey, be careful out there!
---
Michael had his eyes on the battle and he pulled the data on Zest Achilles.

Michael: It appears Zest Achilles has multiple mode changes.. but there's something else about it that i cant quite put my finger on it..
------
Aiga: Hope you guys are ready because we're going to show you the power of a true hero!

Aiga's aura began to glow around him as he held up his bey

Bell: Heh! The Demon King will cast that bey into the shadows so get ready!

Phoebe: Wrong, the one who will win is me and Pandora!

Their auras glowed brightly and Aiga smiled as the battle was about to begin

Computer: Battle Royale!!

The bladers took their positions and the battle began

Computer: Ready, Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

The 3 beys were off and Zest Achilles was incredibly fast as Divine Belial raced around the stadium and Twister Pandora took center stage

Phoebe: Looking good Pandora!

Aiga: Achilles! Go after Belial!!

Bell: Belial! Watch out!!

Belial and Achilles clash with full force and Belial was instantly sent flying

Bell: What?!

Aiga: Hehe!

Achilles was incredibly fast as the rubber edges of Quattro's Balance Mode made contact with the stadium

Phoebe: Pandora! You know what to do!

Pandora began to generate a barrier of wind around it as Achilles came in for the strike

Aiga: Go for it! Zest Shoot!!

Achilles attacked Pandora with all its might but the cyclone it had generated was keeping Pandora at bay
------
Michael watched as Twister Pandora's Elemental Power was starting to rise

Michael: Nicely done..
------
Phoebe: You're doing well Pandora!

Bell: Phoebe! I have a plan!

Phoebe: What?

Bell whispered his plan in Phoebe's ear and Phoebe smirked

Phoebe: Worth a shot!
------
Valt: Looks like Aiga isn't the only one with a strategy..

Wakiya: I wonder what they're about to do.

Ranzo: Amigo! Whatever ya'll are planning, make it count!
------
Phoebe: Alright, Pandora! Twister Break, Unleash!

Pandora uses its Counteredge to knock away Achilles and it was falling right for Belial

Aiga: What the-?!

Bell: Now go kaboom! Divine Bomber!!

Belial used its powerful metal blades along with its D-Gear to send Achilles flying into the air
------
Valt: Look at that! They actually did some damage to Achilles!

Ranzo: Way to go you two!!
---
Michael watched as Pandora's Elemental Power was nearing the MAX

Michael: Come on, just a little bit more..!
------
Achilles had landed on the upper deck and it was beginning to pick up speed

Aiga: I have to give you some credit, ya'll arent half bad but now it's our turn!

Achilles returns to the main battle area and launches Belial out of the stadium with a single strike from its protrusions

Bell: W-What the?!

Phoebe: Bell!!
------
Wakiya: Achilles just knocked out Belial with just one attack!

Ranzo: That bey is strong...!!

Valt: This is the true power of a World Champion...
------
The only one remaining was Twister Pandora and Achilles was charging around the stadium at full speed

Phoebe: It's down to just you and me! Bring it on!!

Aiga: Heh! You asked for it!!

Achilles was picking up some serious speed / Aiga let out a fierce scream as the hairtie keeping his hair down snapped and his hair began to turn red

Aiga: Achilles!!

Achilles was picking up speed as it used the path dividing curves of the stadium to redirect itself back towards Pandora

Phoebe: You're going down Aiga! Let em have it Pandora!!

Phoebe: Twister Break!

Aiga: Finish it! Zest Buster!!

The 2 large protrusions on the Zest Blade glowed as it slams into Pandora and knocks it into the air

Phoebe: Impossible..!
------
The Wind Elemental Power was continuing to grow! 98.. 99.. 100!!

Michael: She did it!
------
Pandora hit the ground with a clang, right next to Belial

Computer: The Winner of the Battle Royale is Aiga Akaba and Zest Achilles!

Bell and Phoebe stood there in shock, Achilles was way stronger than they thought.

Aiga: You guys did pretty well for your First battle against me but you guys have a long way to go.

Bell: Tch..! I demand a redo!

Aiga: If you want a rematch then be ready, you'll have the chance to face Achilles one on one!

Phoebe reached down and picked up her bey, she would have to get much stronger if she wanted to beat Aiga

---Later That Evening---

Phoebe and Michael talked on the phone and Michael gave Phoebe some good news

Michael: Well, in just a short time, Twister Pandora has reached its full potential.

Phoebe: Wait really?

Michael: Yes, i have already went and retrieved the Fire Elemental Bey and i'll have it to you tomorrow.

Phoebe: Alright, i see.

Michael: In the meantime, i have sent you data on the new Pandora, it is called Flame Pandora

Phoebe: Flame Pandora.. Huh.

Michael hung up and Phoebe took a look at the new Flame Pandora

Phoebe: So this is the final Pandora huh?

Flame Pandora had a Fortress Disk and Flexible Driver, a new Balance Type Driver with a Fusion tip with a wide base, like the other Pandoras, it also had a 4 Armor like Zest Achilles.

Phoebe: This thing is a Balance Type, must be a pretty strong one too..

Phoebe smiled, she remembered that if she mastered this bey, she would be able to take The Ultimate Bey.

Phoebe: Michael, our dream will soon come true, i know it!
------
Michael sat alone in the darkness as he kept making adjustments to his bey

Michael: I've acquired all the data i need from Pandora aside from the Fire Elemental Bey Flame Pandora and i need more data from The Demon King and Divine Belial.. but still, things have come along nicely.

Michael remembered the things he saw in the Citadel of Elements when he touched the Ultimate Bey, the Phoebe he saw wasn't the Phoebe he knew

Michael: Phoebe.. our dream isn't worth the amount of destruction that bey will bring..

Michael could still feel the flames and hear the screams in his head from the visions
------
Bell explored the main battle arena on Battle Island and he soon, he found a Beylab

Bell: Aha! Perfect!!

Bell sat down and began to think about Achilles and the different mode changes

Bell: Achilles has a Blade that can be configured to different modes.. we need something that can do that too Belial!

Bell was pulled into his Dreamscape and Belial stood in front of him
---
Belial: So you're upgrading me again!

Bell: Yep, this time we're going to make something that'll beat Achilles for sure!

Belial: How do you plan to do that?

Bell: Achilles has numerous mode changes, we'll do the same thing!

Belial: Sounds interesting, let's do it!!
---
Bell began to work hard at creating a new Evolution Gear made for Belial, this new Gear was going to replace the F-Gear

Bell: This is perfect, with this, you'll have incredible attack power with a side of Defense!

Bell finally completed the new Gear and he placed it on Belial

Bell: The A-Gear is now complete! 3 Blades for Ultimate Attack and 6 for Ultimate Defense!

---Later---

Phoebe was out on one the Battle Stages in Battle Island and she stared up at the night sky

Phoebe: Just one more Pandora huh?

Phoeve then heard the sound of a bey being launched and she went over to investigate

Phoebe went back over to Stage 1 and saw Aiga training at the Stadium there

Phoebe: It's Aiga..

Phoebe entered the stage and walked up to the stadium

Phoebe: What are you doing out here?

Aiga: Oh! Phoebe! Just doing some late night training, what are you doing out here?

Phoebe: Nothing much.. guess you're not really a big believer of going to sleep?

Aiga: I could say the same for you.

Phoebe just smiled, they soon took a walk through the path of Battle Island and they talked.

Phoebe: What was your journey like Aiga?

Aiga: Huh? What do you mean?

Phoebe: Like what was it like to have to climb your way to the top?

Aiga: Oh it was hard, i battled so many strong bladers when i first started blading.

Phoebe: Really?

Aiga: Yeah, my first opponent ever was actually Valt himself, he visited my home to make a new Valkyrie.

Phoebe: And how did it go?

Aiga: Pretty bad, i lost. But it was a close battle though.

Phoebe: I see..

Aiga: But, blading has taught me a lot of lessons that i didn't think i needed to learn, like how to never lose control of yourself even when things seem tough.

Phoebe: What do you mean?

Aiga: There was a time in my journey where the only thing i cared about was winning no matter the cost, it consumed me and i wasnt in control.. my Achilles was destroyed because of me and the path i chose.

Phoebe: And then what?

Aiga: When Achilles was destroyed, it called out to me and opened my eyes.. after that i sought redemption and i eventually defeated the blader that went down the path i did

---Flashback---

Phi: Final Dead Impact!!

Dead Phoenix lands directly on top of Achilles as sparks began to fly and the 2 bladers yelled out with all their might! Achilles tilted on its Dimension Driver and escaped Phoenix's deadly grip

Phi: What!?

Aiga: Achilles!!

The Achilles avatar emerged from behind Aiga as rocks and boulders fell around them

Achilles: Let's do this! Aiga!!

Aiga: Yeah!

Aiga slams his fist into the ground and pulls out the sword of Achilles as it shoots into the air

Cho-Z Achilles charged around the stadium at full speed and circled around Dead Phoenix / The Achilles avatar snatched down its sword as it glowed with a fiery flame / Achilles's Cho-Z Wings glowed brightly as its target was in sight

Aiga: Now! Cho-Z Sword!!

Achilles slashes across Phoenix with both swords and knocks it into the air and it burst! Phi lets out a horrifying scream as the darkness left his body

---Flashback Ends---

Phoebe was in shock at what she heard, Aiga had been through a lot when it came to Beyblade

Phoebe: Wow..

Aiga: That battle was my most important battle, Phi would've caused so much chaos and destruction if i hadnt opened his eyes for him.

Phoebe thought for a moment, Aiga was right about everything. She couldnt allow herself to give in to the darkness no matter how tempting it was.

Phoebe: I understand Aiga, thank you.

Aiga smiled and nodded as he watched Phoebe walk away
