*after a long plane ride to America, Athena and her friends were taking a limo to Brooklyn, New York as that's where Athenas home was. When the Limo pulls into the driveway, everyone was in awe at the massive building that stood before them*

Athena: Everyone, Welcome to Valhalla Manor. This is where you guys are going to stay during your time here.

*The mansion looked beautiful in the setting sun, a butler comes up and opens the front door and lets everyone inside. The butler greets the group and offers to take their bags to their rooms.*

Butler: Welcome home Mistress Elaina, Mistress Athena!

Elaina: Albert! It's great to see you again!!

Butler Albert: It's great to see you again too, looks like Athena brought home some friends.

Elaina: Yes, they'll be staying for a week and then they'll return home to Japan.

Butler Albert: Ah i see! Well then, rooms are on the second floor and the maids will bring your stuff to you momentarily. In the meantime, theres a Stadium in the courtyard for you bladers to use while dinner is being prepared.

Athena and The Legends: A stadium?!

Shu: Yes, i designed a new stadium and had it delivered here for us to use while we are here.

Athena: Wow that's awesome! I bet the new stadium is gonna be super amazing!!

*Everyone went to their rooms and got settled in, Delta notices a card on the bedside table; it was blue. A while later, everyone was led to the backyard to a flower meadow that went as far as the eye could see*

Rantaro: There's a stadium in that mess?!

Shu: I was told it was put back here.. Athena, what do you think? You know this place better than we do.

Athena: Well if I remember this area correctly, there should be a clear patch in the middle of the field so that's where it should be but it's gonna be a bit of a walk.

*Everyone ventured out into the tall grass of the meadow and after about 20 minutes of walking, they finally found the stadium! The stadium featured an Upper Deck that eventually transformed into 3 Rails that the beys could ride on, on the other side of the stadium was a crater as an alternative way to gain speed*

Athena: So amazing! This is the coolest stadium I've ever seen!!

Shu: Your mother has special plans regarding the stadium.

Athena: Wait really?!

Elaina: There's a reason why I invited a maximum of 7 other Bladers: Tag-Team battles!

Everyone: Tag-Team Battles!?!

Elaina: That's correct! With 8 Bladers, we can divide you into 2 teams of 4.

Hikaru: But there's 9 of us, with a 9th blader the teams are gonna be uneven.

Shu: Im not gonna be battling, once y'all leave to go home i'll be training her.

Elaina: Like I was saying, you should've  gotten either a blue card or purple card. If you got blue then you're on the Blue Team, if you got purple then you're on the Purple Team. Also keep in mind, we're doing a practice round for today. We're doing the real thing tomorrow.

*Blue team consisted of Valt, Hikaru, Delta and Drum. Purple team was Athena, Rantaro, Aiga and Hyuga*

Butler Albert: Alright! First Group come forward!

*the first tag battle was Athena and Rantaro VS Valt and Drum!*

Valt: So we're up against you guys, this ought to be good!

Drum: Yeah, we're gonna get super serious!!

Rantaro: Oh put a shoe in it!! We're gonna blow you 2 out of the water, just you watch!!

-----

Athena: Its Valt and Drum.. We don't need a strategy, Adeona.. Brute strength will be enough.

*Athena was instantly pulled into the Avatar World and Adeona was right in Athenas face*

Adeona: I think we should have one.

Athena: Heh-?

Adeona: OUR OPPONENTS ARE DRUM AND VALT, WE SHOULD STRATEGIZE!!

Athena: Don't worry, we'll attack at full power with incredible brute strength!!

Adeona: Yes- Wait, you just said that!!

-----

*The avatar world disappeared and the 4 Bladers took positions*

Butler Albert: Tag Battle! Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!

*The 4 beys landed in the stadium, Adeona was spinning counter-clockwise with its Royal Ring*

Drum: She's going Left Spin?!

Athena: Now let em have it!! Royal Burst!!

*Adeona knocks Dragon away with all its might and locked itself in a head to head clash with Valkyrie, desperately trying to push it back. Meanwhile, Dragon was hard at work trying to knock Ragnaruk out*

Drum: Hit him hard! Bound Wing!!

*Dragon knocks Ragnaruk away onto the upper deck, Ragnaruk takes advantage of the stadium and took a ride on the rails and gained incredible speed as it launched Dragon out of the stadium*

Drum: No way!!!

Valt: Break through!! True Brave Sword!!!

*Valkyrie blows Adeona away into the crater and heads straight for Ragnaruk*

Valt: Now, Rush Shoot!!

Rantaro: Oh spare me the time!! I have a new move with your name on it!!

Valt: A new move?!

Rantaro: Ragnaruk!!!!

Rantaro: Let loose with a gale of raging fury!! Gliding Windfall!!!

*Ragnaruk channels all its energy to the outside, causing it to form a shield of wind around it, Valkyrie unleashed a rapid volley of attacks but none of them could land*

Valt: We're just getting started!!

*Valkyrie ventured on the upper deck and took a joyride on the rails*

Valt: Finish this with Brave Flash!!

*Valkyrie jumped off the rails and dove towards Ragnaruk, Athena stood in front of her teammate as if she was protecting him. Her purple eyes and hair gleaming a heavenly white as she glared at her opponent*

Athena: If you want to get to Honcho.. THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME!!! BLAST OFF ADEONA!!!!

*Adeona shot out of the crater and launched itself into the air, clashing with Valkyrie with all its might. in the Avatar world, Adeona slashes her sword straight through Valkyrie's face and chest. Adeona burst through Valkyrie, leaving Valt absolutely shocked*

Butler Albert: Burst Finish! Adeona Royal and Glide Ragnaruk are the winners!!

Valt: That was fun guys, congrats on winning!

Rantaro: Ha! It was nothing!!

*Drums face burning bright red as he was pretty salty about losing, Athena was super exhausted and very hungry. As everyone went back to the mansion to go eat, Shu smiled at his student.*

Shu: Athena.. You've come so far, i can't wait to see where your Flare goes from here. Either way, i am very proud of you.

*meanwhile, far away on a demonic island, Lui Shirasagijo stood proudly at its peak as thunder rumbled and lightning flashed around him. A dark feeling shook his mind, he had a disturbing feeling that something was out to get him. Unable to resist the feeling any longer, Lui quickly turns around to see Lane Valhalla standing at the stadium behind him*

Lui: Lane Valhalla.. 

Lane: I've come for my revenge Lui!

Lui: Revenge you say? Well if that's how you want to play it then im going to show you a true nightmare!

Lane: The only nightmare here will be Longinus' death!!

*Lui threw his head back in an absolute fit of laughter, he was laughing so hard it was bringing tears to his eyes*

Lui: Oh please! whew you got a sense of humor that's for sure!!

*Lui burst out into another round of laughter, Lane just stood there unamused*

Lane: You can laugh all you want but in the end, it'll be me who has the last laugh!!

*The two opponents stared at each other as another clap of thunder echoed across the island! meanwhile at Valhalla Manor, night had fallen over the majestic home and everyone had fallen asleep.. All except Athena. She layed awake in bed as she looked over to her bedside table where her gear layed. Even though she won, she didn't feel ok about her victory*

Athena: Adeona... Did I go too far?..

*She eventually fell asleep and the next day came, and Lui and Lanes match was being shown down on the TV*

Athena: What's going on?

Shu: You need to see this.

*Athena looked at the TV and saw that Lane was about to fight Lui, the battle was just about to begin*

Lane: I'll have you know i'll shatter Longinus into dust, think you can keep up?

Lui: Ha! I'd like to see you try, but you'll never defeat Longinus even in your wildest dreams!!

Computer: First Battle!! Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*Both beys land in the stadium, Lucifer The End takes center stage as Longinus races toward it*

Lui: Now run wild, Longinus!!

*Longinus releases a heavy barrage of Attacks in an attempt to burst it*

Lane: Counter attack! The End Disaster!!

*Lucifer manages to counter but is immediately pinned back into the center by Longinus once again*

Lane: Tch.. Lay off!!

Lui: Ha, i'm not letting you go that easily! Rampage even more Longinus!!

Lane: Tear it apart!! Lucifer!!!

-----

*Athena watched the battle from home, she began taking mental notes but then... She ultimately realized something*

Athena: Wait- Lucifer isn't faltering in the slightest! Is he about to...?  LUI, LOOK OUT!!!

-----

Lui: Tch... Keep going!!

*Longinus lays into Lucifer with another brutal attack*

Lane: Destroy! Limit Break: The End!!!

*Lucifers destructive Limit Break sends Longinus flying into the air, but it wasn't going to end there*

Lui: You really think you can beat Longinus was an attack like that!! Absolutely pitiful!!!

*Longinus comes in for another brutal attack*

Lui: Show em what a real attack looks like! Raging Upper!!!!

*Using the synergy of the Rage ring and 3A Chassis, Longinus channels the energy into those points and knocks Lucifer out of the stadium with a devastating upper attack*

Lane: Tch... What the-

Computer: Rage Longinus with an over finish, Lui earns 1 point.

Lui: Your sister really had trouble beating that thing? i never seen a bey so weak!

Lane: Oh trust me.. I'm just getting warmed up, i stand by my word: I WILL destroy Longinus and you're gonna watch it happen!!!

*the battle was now getting heated as the 2 bladers glared at each other.. Only one of them truly knew the outcome*

[TBC]
