Rushing to his computer, before Theodore could pinpoint where the destruction had emerged from, the doors to his office opened revealing a group of bladers beaten up and with their launchers ready.

Fubuki, Toko, Silas, Ranjiro and Sasha stood in the doorway all wearing determined looks with screaming, beys and yelling in the background of the floors below.

"Theodore, your reign ends here. Surrender, we have overpowered your bladers on the previous levels and we won't hesitate to use our power on you now."

Toko stood in the front serious as ever with all traces of his former fun and carefree attitude gone.

"Well, well, well, I didn't know we were going to have guests today."

Immediately, the determined group fell to their knees shaking and trying to fight off the invisible force that held them captive.

Brown Eye stepped out of the shadows holding out his hand over the fallen bladers.

Fubuki and Ranjiro widened their eyes, Sasha covered her mouth with her hand trying to contain her tears and suprise but out of all of them Toko was the most surprised and scared with fear resonating in everyone's eyes but he quickly composed himself and turned his attention back to Theodore.

"You're going to pay for this."

Theodore slicked back his hair and relaxed at the sight of his trespassers.

"That's no way to treat your generous host now is it Toko?"

Brown Eye tightened his power on everyone shutting up Toko

"Now then Brown Eye should we bring in everyone else to meet the guests of honor?"

"You psychopath!" Sasha screamed.

Theodore whipped his head around in anger looking Sasha straight in the eye.

Eerily calm, he walked over with everyone else's eyes on her, pitying her.

Thedore's power glowed around him but unlike the last few times, this time his power was a dark sickly black unnaturally wrapping itself around him. Thedore's eyes were now replaced with black colored orbs and just looking him in the eye chilled Sasha to the very bone. There was a mad light in his eyes that looked vacant and his arms dangled lifelessly at his sides and his voice didn't sound like his own.

Sasha whimpered a little just at the sight of him, her body shaking but her eyes were unable to look away but deep down she had seen this power before from him in the maze right before he paralyzed her.

"I know you want to believe you're strong Sasha, but you don't belong here," he said while leaning down to her level.

"You're just a scared, innocent little girl meddling with things you shouldn't be," he said while tucking her hair behind her ear. Putting his hand along her cheek, he smiled at her fear and leaned into her ear.

"You're no blader, you're a sad little bird cooped up at BC Sol thinking you're strong because you've won the world championships when really all you did was watch from the sidelines. You ride on their victory thinking you're strong too when really you're not. It's quite cute you think you can beat me and Valt. But just like Cuza's dead bird, I can easily do the same to you too."

Sasha turned white at the mention of Carl being dead and didn't say anything else.

Laughing maniacally, Thedore stepped away as the rest of Toko's group came in being held down by Theodores's bladers. Akira, Gabe, Ghasem, Hae Jin, Hoji, Ken, Ranjiro, Wakiya, and the Wild Bey Gang. Once everyone was settled Thedore looked down on his new prisoners alongside Brown Eye.

"You all call me a monster, a madman, a psychopath," he paused looking at Sasha while she turned away, not wanting to meet his glare still white and shaking from his threat of killing her.

"But what you all fail to see is that the dark power shouldn't be considered a weakness and insead should be considered a strength. Instead you all hide from it, claiming it to be some sort of disease or even a plague. You treat your corrupted friends as the same, throwing them away and discarding them, not even trying to help them. The Snake Pit wasn't always a place to train, back then it used to be a place to help those bladers before their minds were gone. You all say you're heroes claiming to be family but everyday you are faced with a choice on how to use your power. Using it in a good way or a bad way, dark resonance can be used in vicious evil ways but what's even worse is when a blader who isn't corrupted just gives up on their friend and instead decides to use their power in selfish ways."

"And what's worse is that you all couldn't even save the one person who's helped you all in the past because even with you're resources," he said looking at Wakiya

"Knowledge," he added looking at Nakoi and Jin

"Or supposed power and experience with this situation." he finished looking straight at Fubuki and Ken.

"You simply just don't know how to help him."

The room was quiet taking in Theodore's words and no one spoke not wanting to stand up to Theodore but not wanting to admit he was right either.

"That's why I'm the real hero bringing in resources, with my companies stretching across the globe along with my power over the WBBA,"

"My knowledge over the dark power and it's weaknesses and limits coupled with what we already know about resonance."

"My real power," he said, letting his eyes glow.

"And finally my experience, do you know how many bladers have suffered corruption? Shu, Aiger, Phi, Hyde, Ren Wu, Hae Jin, Xander, Delta, Arthur, Blindt, Suoh, Fubuki, Free, Rantaro, Cuza, Valt, Tsubasa, Ryuga, how many more bladers are going to suffer all because you couldn't simply join me?"

"Now then I think we're done here..."

Stepping out of the shadows Rantaro and Cuza emerged standing beside Brown Eye as they smiled in unison.

Theodore's bladers dragged most of their group away leaving Fubuki, Ranjiro, Toko, Wakiya and Ken.

As Theodore watched most of their group being taken away he turned to the smaller group watching the fear on their faces as they realized there was no escape now and what was about to happen to them.

"Now that we're alone, whose idea was it to come here?" he said with his voice turning serious with no trace of his eerie calm one from before.

For a minute no one said anything, not daring to seal their fate until Toko slowly stood up trying to hold his compuse trying to appear strong.

"It was me, I believe, no, I still believe I can still get through to Valt. It was my idea to come here and battle Valt to try and save him, he may have corrupted one of his best friends but I know he wouldn't do the same to me or his family."

In an instant Brown Eye tightened his grip around Toko and his power glowed around him darker than before, his teeth gritted and fists clenched Toko only looked up at him with disappointment in his elder sibling.

"Stand up."

Toko did what he asked and showed no emotion and only determination.

"Let him go Theodore, the last time our paths crossed I was your bargaining chip in earning Valt's trust but this time will be different and instead I will win."
