~the next day came and Athena was on the elevator to her match. She wasn't afraid or timid like she used to be, she was determined to win. When she got to the top, the crowd was cheering loudly as Aiga appeared too. The 2 walked up to the stadium~

Aiga: Finally! I get to have my revenge after that one time.. No mercy this time!

Athena: I've beaten Aiga before and i'll do it again! however after seeing his performance, i certainly can't underestimate him even now.

Referee: The Semi-Final and Finals matches will go to 3 points instead of 2! Spin and Over Finishes are 1 point, Bursts are 2!!

~this was a great thing but also a bad thing at the same time! If one of them got a burst in the first battle then the opponent would have a chance to make a comeback.~ 

Referee: First Battle! Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*Adeona and Achilles land in the stadium*

Athena: Perfect! Now go Adeona!

Aiga: Blow it away! Achilles!!

*Adeona and Achilles clashed rapidly as streams of red and purple fly across the arena*

Aiga: Push it back! Infinite Buster!!

Athena: Go!! Guide Slash!!

*both beys clash and both go flying out and Achilles hit the ground first*

Athena: Yes!!

Aiga: What?!

Referee: Guide Adeona with an over finish! Athena gets 1 point!!

Aiga: Not bad but this is only the beginning!!

*Athena smiled as the second battle began. Elaina watched, hopeful that her daughter would win*

Athena: Full power Adeona!!

*Adeona and Achilles weren't backing down as their fierce clash ensued*

Aiga: Knock it out of there! Infinite Sword!!

*the swords glowed and Adeona went flying and burst, leaving Athena surprised!*

Referee: Infinite Achilles with a burst finish, the score is now 2-1!

*Athena put her bey back together and looked up at Aiga*

Athena: You and Achilles are amazing but i'll be the one who wins!

Aiga: No it'll be me!!

Referee: Third Battle! Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!

*the 2 beys landed in the stadium as they prepared to clash head-on*

Athena: Now go!!

Aiga: Blow it away!!

*Adeona and Achilles clashed back and forth as blasts of energy and wind erupt from the stadium*

Aiga: Send it flying! Infinite Buster!!

Athena: Meet the attack! Guiding Upper!!

*Adeona and Achilles clash with full force! In the avatar world, Adeona and Achilles were locked in a fierce brawl as their loud battle cries echoed above their users*

Athena: Keep going Adeona!! Give em all you got!!

Aiga: Knock it out Achilles! No mercy!!

*both beys get blown back*

Athena: Adeona!!

*Adeona entered its Flare state and accelerated towards Achilles*

Aiga: Nows the time! Lets go Achilles!!

Athena/Adeona: Guide Slash!!

Aiga/Achilles: Infinite Sword!!

*the beys clashed and Achilles exploded in a epic burst*

Aiga: What the-?!

Referee: Guide Adeona with a burst finish! With a score of 2-3, Athena Valhalla is the winner!!

*Athena fell back as she tried to process what just happened, the crowd was literally going wild*

Athena: I.. I won?!..

*Aiga walked over and helped her up*

Athena: Aiga.. Di-Did i really just win?

Aiga: You did.

Athena: Aiga.. That was super fun!

Aiga: Yeah it was! I can't wait to have another battle like that again.

*both of them smiled and went their separate ways for now, and now the final match of the semi-finals was about to begin, it was Valt VS Lane!! The 2 bladers walked to the stadium*

Lane: Valt Aoi.. Are you ready to be destroyed and burnt to ash!?

Valt: I won't let you do that! Your win streak ends here!!

Lane: Are you certain? You really think you can break through Lucifers defenses? Don't make me laugh!!

*Lane changed to Free Spin mode as both bladers took position, Athenas body tensed up as she watched from the crowd! Whoever wins this was going to fight her in the finals*

Referee: First Battle! Ready Set!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*both beys land in the stadium, Valkyrie dashes into the L Plate and accelerates drastically*

Valt: Rush Shoot!!

*Valkyrie unleashes a vicious barrage of attacks on the barrier but Lucifer still stands strong!*

Valt: Push it even more! Go!!

*the barrier retracted as Lucifer was knocked up the stadium*

Lane: Burn, Lucifer!!

*Lucifers flare activated as it repelled Valkyries assault*

Valt: Brave Sword!!

Lane: Flare Wall!!

*an explosion echoes throughout the arena! When the smoke cleared, Valkyrie had landed outside of the stadium while Lucifer was still spinning... But just barely!*

Valt: No way!!

Referee: Flare Lucifer with a over finish!! Lane Valhalla earns 1 point!!

Valt: Tch.. Lane!!

Lane: Don't let it end yet! Fuel my Flare even more!!

*from the audience, Athena watched in worry as her evil brother grinned at Valt menacingly! Now afraid of what was to come, a small whimper escaped Athenas mouth..*
