*Bell Daikokuten stared down at the 2 bladers as he started to laugh, a shadowy demon figure looming over him with green eyes shining through*

Bella: So that's Bell Daikokuten..!

Athena: In the flesh..

*Bell finally got ahold of himself and he stared down at the 2 bladers*

Bell: Well well well, Athena Valhalla. I was wondering when you would finally show up.

Athena: You knew i was coming right? Didn't you get my message?! I told you i would be here today, oh and what's with the note on the front gate?!

Bell: You know me Valhalla, you know i love pulling pranks! It's kinda my thing.

Bella: Do you two know each other?

Athena: Ok remember when i told you i never battled him?

Bella: Yeah..?

Athena: Well i lied.. i kinda wanted it to be a surprise and well we have battled each other once in the past.

Bell: Yeah and i absolutely dominated her!

Bella: You lost to him?!

Athena: It was meant to be a friendly battle, Bell got the upper hand and he defeated me. The almighty Dangerous Bomber am i right?

*Bell laughed in the background as he stepped forward*

Bell: Man you really haven't gotten over that loss haven't you?

Athena: I wanted to win even if it was just some everyday friendly competition.

Bell: Everyday friendly competition you say? I like where this is going..!

Athena: You wanna settle this with another battle!?

Bell: Gladly...

*Bell held up his new Origin Bey, Discharge Belial! The New Belial featured the same 3 sided design like its previous evolutions but this time the wings were more tailored for attacking and dealing strong hits, it had rubber and metal imbedded into its layer which payed homage to the L and F Gear. It had a Chaos Disk which looked like Nexus as a normal disk and it had a rounded 4 sided red plastic part that could either free spin or remained locked which payed homage to the S Gear and it had a new driver called Rampage' which looked like that of Venture with V Gear except the metal was more prominent and increased the stamina of the bey.. it really was a bey meant for the Demon King*

Athena: So that's the new Belial huh? I like it.

Bell: This Discharge Belial will be your utter doom! I saw your battle with Main Kuromi yesterday and holy demon king did you lose bad.

*Athenas face sank and Bell immediately knew he hit a touchy subject so he withdrew*

Bell: M-My bad..

Athena: No it's fine.. i'm moving on from that loss and i'll get stronger. If anything that's the reason i'm here. This is Bella Akazara, she is my long lost sister and she may be the one who can actually bring that guy down.

*Bell looked over at the girl and stepped up to her, Bella looked up at the Demon King, he was a bit taller than she was*

Bell: So you're the Bella Akazara i heard so much about. You know i watched the broadcasts you put out, defeating Valt, Rashad and Lui is not an easy feat, you seem pretty strong.

*Bella smiled and she held up her Origin Beherit*

Bella: Well i can't take all the credit. This is Origin Beherit, this bey is the one responsible for those great victories!

Athena: I was also told another Origin Fragment was in the area, if Bella gets her hands on it then Beherit will get stronger along with the training she receives here.

Bell: Origin Fragment you say? That's an old european legend isn't it?

Athena: It's not just a legend anymore. It's a legend that's true, Beherit already has one equipped.

Bella: It's called the Strike Level Chip, it provides great burst resistance and balance to Beherit!

Bell: Burst resistance and balance you say? That sounds interesting.

Athena: What do you want to do?

Bell: I think since both of you are here, i think it's fair to have a little battle royale.

Athena: A battle royale?

Bell: This will actually be my new Belials first battle so i obviously need a good test opponent.

*Athena looked towards Bella*

Athena: What do you think?

Bella: I say we do it! A Battle royale is just what i need!

Athena: Well i guess it can't be helped.. a battle royale it is then.

Bell: Yes! Now let the show begin!

*The lights in the Theatre of Hell turn on and the voice of Bells grandpa, Jingemon Daikokuten came over the loudspeaker*

Jingemon: a battle between the Demon King, American Champion and Newcomer! This ought to be the best battle royale in the world! Let the battle begin!

Bell: You heard the old man, let's get this show on the road.

*The 3 bladers step up to the Hybrid Drive Stadium and the battle was about to start*

Drone: First Battle!

Athena: Bell Daikokuten and Discharge Belial.. the last time i faced off against Bell, he crushed me with his bomber move. Does this new Belial have that same explosive power i lost to back then?

Bella: Discharge Belial.. An interesting bey indeed, show me what it can do Bell..

Bell: I hope you're ready because you both will be feeling the power of the Demon King!

Drone: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The 3 beys were off and the beys were racing around the hole in the middle of the arena*

Bella: Beherit!

Athena: Adeona let's go!!

*Both Adeona and Beherit were going side by side as they were headed straight for Belial*

Bell: So you're going to both attack at once huh? Bring it on, go Belial!!

*Belials Rampage Driver began to spark as it raced ahead and came back around to slam into Beherit and Adeona head on and knock them both back*

Bella: What incredible power that bey has!

Athena: It's those metal and rubber parts! It took those parts from the L Gear and F Gear and used them to launch our beys back... Not bad at all Bell..!

*Belial was now doing a fierce flower pattern around the stadium and it knocks Adeona into the Low Stage*

Athena: Wha-?!

Bella: Athena!!

*Bell started to laugh as he had both arms crossed*

Bell: How do you like that? This is the power of Belial!!

Athena: Bella, send Belial down here, i got this!

Bella: Got it!

*Beherit was now chasing after Belial as used the stadium slope to get faster*

Bell: Oh so you want some? Alright then, i have no problem with that! Rampaging Flash!!

*Belial suddenly sped up and it knocks Beherit away in one single shot*

Bella: What no way!!?!

Athena: He blew Beherit away in just one attack effortlessly?!?

*Bell started to laugh again as his aura began to glow to life*

Bell: You never stood a chance against me now prepare to meet your end!

Bella: Athena?!

Athena: Tch.. Just go ahead and get down here, Belial will have no choice but to follow or else it will run out of stamina before us.

Bella: Got it! Beherit, get down there!

*Beherit jumps through the hole and fell into the low stage with Adeona*

Bell: Bad move..

*Belial starts to tilt on its Rampage Driver and it began to pick up some incredible speed*

Bell: It's time! Belial!!

Belial: Let's go..!

*Belial fell through and landed in the lower stage and all 3 beys were charging into the center*

Athena: Legacy Saber! Finish it!!

Bella: Origin Thunder!!!

Bell: Discharged Bomber!!

*Belial clashes with the 2 beys and using the power of its metal and rubber blades, it sent the 2 beys flying back and they fell out of the arena*

Athena: Say what?!

Bella: No way..!!

Drone: Battle Royale! Discharge Belial is the winner!!

Athena: So that's the power of the new Belial, sounds interesting..

Bella: It's so strong... it's incredible.

*Bell started to laugh again, the avatar of Belial looming behind him as it let out a low howl*

---Meanwhile---

*Main Kuromi had finally made it to of Japan after the long 14 hour flight and he looked around at his surroundings*

Main: Japan.. the true birthplace of Beyblade. An interesting little town indeed...

*Mains right eye began to glow with a faint little yellow streak, hinting at a possible corruption but he shakes it off and keeps on going*

Main: The Demon King, Bell Daikokuten and his Belial.. his bey will be an interesting prey for Michaels power. However, Athena and her little kid is already there, it'll appear i'll have to play nice and let them have their turn..

*Main smirks as he started to leave the airport. He goes by the little park where legendary bladers Valt and Shu used to battle when they were younger, it was a staple part of the beyblade community in Japan.*

Main: Valt Aoi and Shu Kurenai. Both of them are strong legends that used to battle here in their earlier years... why do they have such a strong connection to this place..?

*Main watches as some little kids were playing with their beyblades at that very park and they looked like they were enjoying themselves, Main didn't understand. He couldn't wrap his head around why they looked so happy blading. He decided not to intervene with their playtime and kept on going*

Main: Those kids... they looked like they were enjoying themselves but.. why? Beyblade isn't supposed to be fun, isn't it?

*Main was now less focused on finding Bell and was now more curious on looking around in the Japanese city. He stopped by the Victories gym and saw legendary blader Drum Koryu having a battle with one of his best friends, Amane Kusaba*

Main: Drum Koryu and his infamous Rainbow Turbo.. such a pathetic phenomenon like friendship is pointless..

*Main watched as Amane was the one who lost but he didn't seem that frustrated, he couldn't make out what he was saying but it wasn't anything angry for sure*

Main: Why don't these people get it? Beyblade isn't meant to be fun... so why are all these bladers so happy? Especially the ones who lose.. Why is that?

*Main decided he had enough and went to find a place to rest for a while*

---Later that evening---

*Bella and Athena stood outside Hell's Gate and they were going to find a place to sleep*

Bella: So where exactly are we going to call home while we're here?

Athena: Shu gave me the key to his old apartment when he lived in this country, we're gonna stay there for a while.

Bella: I see..

Athena: Yeah it is a shame we can't stay at Hell's Gate but i understand why. Besides we're only going to be here a few days before we head to the Island Of Demons where Lui resides.

Bella: Who are we gonna face afterwards?

Athena: Well after we're done at Lui's then hopefully Valts new origin bey will be ready. I'm thinking we go back to BC Sol and see what's shaking there.

Bella: BC.. Sol?

Athena: It's a highly skilled beyblade team based in Europe. You lived in europe all your life so you should've heard about them.

Bella: I've only heard stories about them... Me and Ikari had heard rumors that legendary bladers like Valt Aoi, Free De La Hoya and Sisco Karlisle were all strong bladers apart of BC Sol but we never really believed it until now, we never really left the Castle Of Demise as everything we needed to survive was there. I made a living challenging the strongest bladers in the world and defeating them for the world to see.

Athena: Well i think you two weren't told the entire truth.. those bladers set the standard of what Beyblade is truly about.

*Athena began to remember the fond memories she shared with the legends when she was on her own quest, the quest where she tried to bring Lane to his senses.*

Athena: Believe me i know.. Speaking of which, where is your little sister at?

Bella: She wanted to stay at Valhalla Manor. After what Main did to her, she feels the most safe there.

Athena: Well i think she made a good decision, Ikari is in good hands there. My mom and the butlers there will take good care of her.

*The 2 advanced onward and they went to where they would be staying*

---Meanwhile---

*Main Kuromi finally reached the abandoned factory where Lane Valhalla used to call home all those years ago. he looked around and a lot of the equipment used during his time there was well... still there and somehow most of it looked brand new, somebody had been keeping the place alive*

Main: That guy hasn't been here in years so why is this place still being kept in good condition?

*Main went deeper into the factory and found the workplace where Lane had constructed Dark Matter Lucifer, once described as the Ultimate bey ever but Main obviously knew that wasn't close to being true.*

Main: There's a stadium here.. It's been kept in good condition as well...

*Main decided to stand up at the stadium and he held up his launcher, his yellow aura beginning to glow brightly, illuminating the area as his right eye began to flash with a yellow burst of energy*

GO SHOOT!!!!

---Later that night---

*Bella was just walking alone in the park as she cleaned off her equipment, she also started to think about the battle royale earlier*

Bella: Bell is so much more stronger than i thought he would be.. if i'm going to defeat him then i really need to work hard.

*Bella then noticed a peculiar light coming from the other side of the park. intrigued, she gets up and goes over to see what it was and to her surprise, it was another Origin Fragment. This one was for the Vengeance Disk which would add more weight and better attack to Beherit*

Bella: Amazing... I can feel it's power coursing through my very being..

*Bella placed the new Origin Fragment on the Vengeance Disk and it was a perfect fit, the fragment began to glow with a violet light*

Bella: I'll call it the Strike Vengeance Ring! With this, we'll be one step closer to full and complete mastery!

*Beherit with its 2nd Origin Fragment equipped, began to glow with a dark energy, the 2 origin fragments glowing in sync..*

[TBC]
