The next day has arrived and Bell was busy getting ready for his battle

Bell: Today, i will beat Aiga for sure!

Bell turned and left the room and ran down the hallway but then he ran into Michael and when he stopped, he tripped and dropped Belial

Bell: You again!

Michael: No hard feelings for yesterday right?

Bell looked at him confused, was he actually apologizing?

Bell: Huh?

Michael reached down and picked up Belial and took a look at it

Bell: What do you think you're doing?! Give that back!!

Michael took a look at Belial and then back at Bell and gave a sinister grin

Michael: Good luck beating Aiga.. you're going to need it.

Michael forcefully closed his hand and disassembled Belial

Bell: What the-?! What are you doing?!

Michael opened his hand and Belial had been disassembled completely and dropped them to the floor

Michael: Mind cleaning that up? I dont like the look of garbage.

Bell: Who do you think you're calling garbage?!

Michael turned and started to walk away, Bell watched with rage burning in his eyes

Bell: What's with that guy?
-------
The battle between Bell and Aiga was now starting and the 2 bladers walked up to the stadium

Bell: Aiga! This battle has already been decided, i'll be the one to win this battle!

Aiga smiled as he held up his Zest Achilles which was in full Attack Mode

Aiga: Try as you might, you'll never get past Achilles!!

Bell eyed his bey closely, Aiga was going with an offensive strategy

Bell: So he's going with Attack Mode, in that case, i'll defend against those attacks of his..

Bell switched his A-Gear into its Defense Mode and he grinned, looking back up at his opponent but suddenly, the image of Michael
------
Ranzo: Look at that, Bell just changed modes right there!

Phoebe: Bell, you can do this!
---
Valt, Shu and Wakiya were watching from the watch tower overseeing the arena

Valt: Looks like Bell has something up his sleeve!

Wakiya: A defensive strategy huh? That's new..

Shu: He always is full of surprises
---
Ashtem and Michael were also watching the battle and Ashtem had a smug grin on his face

Ashtem: You sabotaged his bey, correct?

Michael: I sabotaged his mind, he's going to be so out of control that he won't even be able to concentrate
------
Computer: 1st Battle!!

The bladers took their positions and the battle began

Computer: Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

The beys were off and Achilles and Belial raced around the stadium at full speed but something was wrong, Belial's movements were out of control

Bell: W-What the-?!

Belial's movements were all over the place, it was like it had a mind of its own
------
Ranzo: What is going on down there! Get it together Amigo!!

Phoebe: Something is wrong, Bell isn't battling like he usually does!

Phoebe looked up high into the crowd and found Michael and Ashtem, she suspected this was their fault

Phoebe: Did you guys do this?!
------
Belial slams into the wall and it was coming straight for the center but so was Achilles

Bell: Get it together Belial! We're gonna burst them in a single shot!!

Aiga: I wouldn't be so sure about that!

Belial and Achilles collided and the A-Gear's 6-Bladed Defense Mode saved Belial but it still took a lot of damage

Bell: Divine Shoot!!

Belial came charging in for the attack but its form was sloppy and predictable and Achilles was able to dodge all the attacks

Bell: Tch..!

Aiga: This is nothing! Go Achilles!

Achilles was coming in for the next attack but Bell wasn't backing down so easily

Bell: Belial! Protect yourself, Divine Shield!

The A-Gear began to glow as it helped with Belial's defenses

Aiga: Zest Buster!!

Achilles clashes with Belial and it was sent flying out of the stadium with barely any effort

Bell: W-What the-?!

Computer: Zest Achilles with an Over Finish! Aiga Akaba earns 1 Point!!
------
Shu: Something is up! Bell mislaunched, that's not like him at all.

Wakiya: Mislaunches happen all the time, besides it was probably just a fluke.

Valt: Shu's right, it looks like Bell was... distracted by something.
---
Ashtem: Master of manipulation you are Michael, you must be proud.

Michael: Anything to make our dream a reality..
------
Bell picked up his bey and what Michael had said to him earlier was still fresh in his mind

"Mind cleaning that up? I dont like the look of garbage."

Bell: That guy... i'll show him!

Bell's thoughts were interrupted when he heard Phoebe calling out to him
------
Phoebe stood up and called out to her friend from the stands

Phoebe: Bell! Don't let my brothers manipulation get to your head, you're stronger than that! You're the Demon King after all so show the world nothing but your true self!
------
Bell looked back towards Phoebe a bit surpised but she was right, he turned back towards Aiga

Bell: Aiga! You may have won that battle but the Demon King is just making his final preparations to win!

Aiga couldnt help but smile, Bell had returned to his old self at last
------
Ashtem simply just looked down towards where Phoebe was and he didnt look happy

Ashtem: The time will come where we will dispose of the Demon King from the Beyblade world..
------
Computer: 2nd Battle!!

Bell switched the A-Gear back into Attack Mode

Bell: This time we're going with Attack Mode, you're done so i hope you're ready!

Aiga smiled as he began changing modes on his bey too, he had changed the blade to Left Spin Defense Mode and Quattro' into Defense Mode too

Aiga: Bring it on then!

The 2 bladers took their positions and the battle began

Computer: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

The beys were off and Zest Achilles took center stage and Divine Belial was quickly heading for the Ignite Zones

Bell: Alright Belial! Let's show them what we got!

Belial used the Ignite Zones and headed right for Achilles at full speed

Aiga: Repel them! Zest Guard!!

Achilles takes the attack from Belial and knocked it away with ease

Bell: We're not done yet!!

Belial rose up the slope of the stadium and was heading for Achilles again

Bell: Now! Divine Shoot!!

Belial came back in for the attack and began to fire a barrage of attacks upon Achilles

Bell: Yes! Keep it up!!
------
Michael watched Belial's Elemental Power and it was starting to increase

Michael: Belial's Elemental Power is starting to rise..!
------
Belial clashes with Achilles with all its might and sent it flying back

Aiga: Achilles! Show it no mercy!!

Achilles catches itself on the Ignite Zone and manages to gain a bit of speed and it was starting to glow from the stadium

Aiga: Zest Slash!!

The swords began to glow as it slams into Belial and knocks it high into the air

Bell: If you think an attack like that will work then just watch!

Belial landed back in the stadium and it was starting to respond to the stadium and glow too

Bell: Now go! Plunge them into the darkness, Belial!

Bell: Go! Belial!!
------
Michael's eyes widened as Belial's Elemental Power was rising even more, it was heading to 70%!

Michael: That's incredible.. Belial is pushing itself to the limit!
------
Aiga: It's time! Achilles!!

Belial and Achilles circle around the stadium at full speed as the glow from the stadium was getting stronger on both

Aiga: Zest Buster!!

Bell: Divine Bomber!!

The 2 beys collided with all their strength as the stadium erupts a burst of energy as the beys locked in a fierce clash

Aiga: Achilles!!

Bell: Finish it! Full power, Belial!!

Belial was giving it all it had as bolts of purple lightning danced and shot across the stadium and then...

*Crack*
------
Phoebe's eyes widened, she saw something happen to Belial but she wasnt sure what happened

Phoebe: Wait.. what was that?!
-------
Belial blows through Achilles and wins the battle by a Burst Finish

Aiga was shocked at his loss but it soon turned into a smile, he was impressed at Bell's sudden comeback

Computer: Divine Belial with a Burst Finish! Bell Daikokuten wins with a score of 2-1!!

Bell: How's that!!

Aiga: That was a great battle, you did pretty well!

Bell: Ha! That was nothing, Belial is the strongest bey ever!
------
Phoebe was still trying to process what she saw, she couldnt tell, but it looked like Divine Belial had taken permanent damage

Phoebe: It was for a brief moment but i saw it.. i saw Belial receive lasting damage! Bell...

---Later---

The last battle of the final Stage was over and now, it was time to reveal who showed the most growth

Wakiya: In last place is Ranzo Kiyama with a final growth of 69%!

Ranzo: Hey! I'll take it, that's good!

Wakiya: In 2nd Place is Bell Daikokuten with a growth of 80%!

Bell: Alright for 80%!

Wakiya: And in 1st Place is Phoebe Vancouver with a whopping growth of 95%!!

Bell and Ranzo were jawdropped! 95%?! How?!

Bell: Wait a minute! How did she get that strong?!

Wakiya: Of course this would happen, Phoebe just showed more growth as a blader than you, thats all there is to it.

Bell pouted as he sat back down in his seat and watched as Wakiya put a vine crown on her head and received the trophy

Bell: It should've been me up there instead of her..

Ranzo: Well, theres nothing we can really do about it!

Bell: I mean, i beat Aiga too like come on..!

Wakiya: Since i've now crowned you MVP of the tournament, you get to choose any blader to have a Challenge Battle against.

Phoebe looked around the room, her options were Bell, Ranzo, Valt, Shu or Aiga

Phoebe: I will battle...

Phoebe's eyes wandered towards Bell who was practically begging to be her opponent

Phoebe: Bell. My opponent will be Bell!

Wakiya was a bit surprised at her choice

Wakiya: Bell? Are you sure?

Phoebe: Yes! I want my last opponent of the tournament to be none other than the Demon King himself!

Wakiya: Alright, if you say so.. the final battle of the Ultimate Legacy Tour will be Bell vs Phoebe!

Bell jumped up in celebration and Phoebe just gave a soft smile

Wakiya: The rules are simple, the final match will be first to 3 points and will be held at the Battle Arena here on Battle Island in 5 days

Bell: 5 days?! I can't wait that long!!

Phoebe: Why so long of a wait?!

Wakiya: This is to ensure both of you are well prepared before your battle, i want this to be a very intense battle, it helps if both of you are at the top of your game

Bell thought for a moment, he and Phoebe were about to have their next public battle for the world to see

Bell: Phoebe, this time you and Pandora are going down!
------
It was later that night and Phoebe came running up to Michael who was walking towards the Battle Arena

Phoebe: Michael! I won the tournament, i was crowned MVP!

Michael looked at her sister and saw the trophy in her hands and the crown on top of her head

Michael: You won?

Phoebe: Yeah, isn't this great?! I actually won a tournament, not to mention i won against the World Champion of all bladers.

Michael: You think because you did all of that, that makes you a strong blader?

Phoebe: Well i mean, i had the strength to beat Aiga so..

Michael took the trophy out of Phoebes hands and examined it, his voice was becoming louder and more intense

Michael: Becoming number 1 takes years of training, blood, sweat and tears! You think because you won a tournament that doesnt matter, it makes you the best?!

Phoebe took a step back, his voice starting to scare her.

Phoebe: Michael.. what are you..?

Michael: The only way you're becoming number 1, is with me!

Michael closed his hand around the trophy and shattered it like glass! Phoebe heard a loud heartbeat like sound echo in her mind

Phoebe: N-No..

Michael frowned and walked away, not regretting what he had just done.

Phoebe's sadness soon turned to rage as her black eyes began to glow with an orange glow! a green, orange and yellow aura glowed around her

Michael stopped and turned around to see Phoebe with an enraged expression

Phoebe: Big brother.. you're done! Accomplish your dream on your own!!

Michael's eyes widened with shock, Phoebe was glowing with an aura that seemed too familiar

Michael: It can't be..

The enraged Phoebe continued to glow this evil and menacing aura

Michael: Is Pandemonium already manifesting itself inside her?
------
The mysterious unknown blader was watching the whole thing and he smiled, the blader was none other than Kit Lopez

Kit: I have no idea what's going on, but those two seem pretty interesting!

Kit looked down at his bey and it was glowing with a blue and yellow aura
