*Bella was amazed at the bey that was on the screen, it had no color as it was only a 3D Design but it was breathtaking just by its own design*

Bella: Shield... Athena?

Adeline: Athena is the greek goddess of War. This bey will be a Defense Type that can deflect any and all attacks.

Bella: Any and all attacks huh?

Adeline: I'll be there to see you battle Rashad but i will say this, i have full support of him. I know he's going to win.

Bella: As if! I'll blow him away with all i got!

Adeline: Save it. You just won't be able to break Raphaels ultimate defense.

Bella: Believe me i will. I'll blow Raphael away just like last time.

Adeline: Then you better get going, your match is in an hour.

*Bella panicked as she knew was right about that! Like a rocket, Bella dashes out of the Beylab and Adeline just sighed and smiled*

Adeline: What an interesting kid.. hopefully she is as strong as she says she is.

---Meanwhile, At El Santo---

*Athena and Valt were with Rashad, giving him more ideas to battle against Bella*

Valt: Greatest Spear might actually be the best way to defeat Beherit, concentrating all that power into a single point will do some serious damage.

Athena: Bella did say she was going to check out BC Sol, i have a feeling she went there to sneak the remaining Origin Fragments out.

Valt: I was planning on that to happen.

Rashad: You're ok with that?

Valt: I want to see what Beherits perfect form looks like before i fight it, your battle with her will give me the info i need to know before i battle her.

Athena: Makes sense to me.

Rashad: Well if that's what you want then i'll be sure to deliver the results you need.

Valt: Great! I look forward to an amazing battle.

Athena: How strong are those Origin Fragments? The remaining ones.

Valt: Strong enough to end a battle against a beginner in 1 second. Beherit will be all sorts of crazy strong when its fully upgraded. It's weight and attack power will be nothing like the world has ever seen.

Rashad: Sounds pretty rough..

Valt: Rashad, it's best if you use Defense Mode and use Greatest Lord right off the bat. Attacking something this powerful won't end well for you.

Rashad: Got it. Raphael won't lose in a battle of endurance or defense. What do you think Athena?

Athena: Well i have to give Bella some strategies too but i think you have a pretty solid game plan going.

Rashad: Well then i guess it is settled, defense mode it is.

---Meanwhile---

*Bella did a small test launch with Perfect Origin Beherit and it was all over the place, its movements were erratic and uncontrollable*

Bella: It's movements are so unstable.. there's not much time left, my battle with Rashad is just in a few minutes.

*Athena came into the room and Bella looked over towards her*

Bella: A-Athena?!

Athena: Your battle with Rashad is going to start soon, do you have a plan?

Bella: Yeah, i'm going to blow Raphael away just like i did last time!

Athena: I'm afraid that's not going to be enough this time. You need more than just a little more attack power to beat Raphaels defenses.

Bella: It is decided. I'll attack with all i got.

*Athena just looked at her and sighed, giving up all hope*

Athena: If that's what you want to do then go for it i guess.. but don't say i didn't warn you.

*Bella and Rashad were called up to their match and the battle was about to begin*

---Later---

*The battle between Bella Akazara and Rashad Goodman was now starting and both bladers stepped up to the stadium*

Rashad: Bella Akazara, it's been some time. This time, things will be different and i'll be the one that comes out on top!

*Bella just glared at Rashad as her dark aura started to burst forth*

Rashad: So this is the darkness that Athena was talking about.. No matter how dark she can go, i will come out on top this time.

Bella: This Perfect Origin Beherit will be the one that crushes Raphael!

*The Perfectly evolved Beherit started to glow with an aura of darkness*

---

Valt: Just as i thought, she did get the last upgrades.

Athena: The thing is, she is fighting knowing she hasn't even mastered them yet. Rashad probably has this in the bag.

Lane: There is also that darkness as well.. Bella with the Perfect Fragment will tap into the deepest depths!

*Adeline Hakase and Main Kuromi were also watching the battle from the crowd and Main was watching closely, his eyes fixated on the Perfect Fragment Form of Beherit*

---

Referee: 1st Battle!!

*Both bladers take their positions and the battle started*

Referee: Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Raphael took the center quickly as Perfect Origin Beherit was all over the place, its movements uncontrollable*

Rashad: Its movements are so unpredictable.. so this is the Perfect Fragment form of Beherit..!

Bella: Beherit! Calm down and get in there!

*Beherit hits the wall hard and it was a bit more stabilized but there was still a wobble*

Bella: Its movements have calmed down, this is now the perfect time to strike..

*Bellas eyes began to glow with darkness as Beherit used the High Drivers upgrade to charge up some momentum and it took off like a rocket*

Rashad: It's fast..!

Bella: Perfect High Shoot!!

*Beherit comes charging in and starts to fire off a barrage of attacks on Raphael, knocking it around*

Rashad: Its attack power has drastically increased but let's see how well it fares when the Greatest Armor comes up!

*The Greatest Armors unlocked and started to move upward*

Bella: It's going to use its special move.. Get ready Beherit!

Rashad: Greatest Lord!!

*The armors moved into perfect position as the halo glowed to life*

Bella: Beherit! Attack some more!!

*Beherit clashed with the activated Raphael and its smooth surface repelled it*

Rashad: Attacks like those won't work against us.

*Beherit lands another attack and used its new Metal Upgrades to fire another attack and Raphael was sent flying*

Rashad: W-What!? No way!!!

---

Valt: It sent Raphael flying with just one blow!

Athena: It's the Strike Origin Blade! It places metal weighting across the outer sections of Beherit, adding more explosive attack!

Lane: I guess Valkyrie has some competition after all.

---

*Bella lets out a demonic howl as her devil aura burst to life*

Dark Bella: Beherit!!

Rashad: Raphael!!!

Rashad: Send them flying! Greatest Breaker!!

Dark Bella: Tear them apart! Perfect Origin Thunder!!

*Beherit and Raphael clashed side by side as the opposite beys of light and darkness spun around the stadium and Bella was getting even more darker by the second*

Dark Bella: Break them! For i am... Beherit!!!

---

Lane: She's actually holding her own against Raphaels attack..!

Rangara: That is some intense determination..

*Athena frowned as tears of disappointment welled up in her eyes*

Athena: No.. this is anything but determination..

*Main simply grinned from the audience as he watched Bella fall into insanity and darkness, he was pleased with what he was seeing*

---

*The clash between Beherit and Raphael continued and soft growls could be heard from Bella, her heart beats loudly as darkness filled her eyes and she let out another loud roar*

Rashad: Raphael! Send them flying now and get ready!

*Raphael used its weight to knock Beherit into the air and it hits the wall, going even higher into the air*

Possessed Bella: Perfect Origin Dive!!

Rashad: Do it! Greatest Spear!!

*Beherit landed on top of Raphaels energy cone that was formed from the armors and the stadium exploded with a burst of energy and Beherit pushes back the armors and reaches the layer, cracking it into 2 pieces and breaking it*

Rashad: W-Wha..!?

*Bella lets out another scream as the pieces of Raphael hit the stadium floor with a clang and the darkness that engulfed her in the battle disappeared*

Referee: Perfect Origin Beherit, B-Burst Finish! With a final score of 2-0, Bella Akazara is the winner!

*Bella screamed out again as the darkness in her heart struck the nerves of everyone else, murmurs and cries of fear echoed around the arena. Athena just looked down in disappointment as she got up and left the arena*

---Later---

*Rashad sat down at BC Sol as he held the broken parts of Raphael in his hand, he felt disappointed that he lost but satisfied that at least he went out with a bang*

Valt: I'm sorry about Raphael..

Rashad: Yeah.. however it is all fine now.

Valt: Rashad..?

Rashad: It held out to the very end and i know thats what Raphael would have wanted, i'll get it repaired and i'll come back stronger.

*Valt smiled and he held his bey, Perfect Valkyrie in his other hand*

Valt: Are you sure you're going to be ok?

*Rashad nodded*

Rashad: It's unfortunate that i had to lose the way i did but there was no other way, i'm just upset that i couldn't expose Beherits weakness again..

Valt: Don't worry, i will.. and i'll be sure to win in your honor.

---Meanwhile---

*Bella stood alone in the El Santo Training Room and her dark aura began to glow about her, Athena and Lane stood from afar and watched her*

Lane: I expected Bella to win but i didn't think she would go as far to break Raphael.

Athena: Something just doesn't feel right. 

Lane: What do you mean?

Athena: I feel like Main is behind all of this..

Lane: You really think so?

Athena: It just makes the most sense..

Lane: You think he's here? In Spain?

Athena: Absolutely, he was probably there at the battle today. We just never saw them.

Lane: What should we do? Bella has completely changed for the worst.

Athena: I think this whole situation is out of our hands now. My corruption back then just blew over, maybe it'll do the same with Bella

Lane: Well there is no guarantee that will happen.

Athena: Yeah but hopefully it will.. Bella doesn't deserve to experience this suffering..

Lane: No she doesn't.. and hopefully we can find who's doing this to her.. Whether it's Main or not. If Valt or Aiga can't do anything, then we may have to take things in our own hands..

Athena: Yeah..

*The 2 watched as the consumed Bella launched her bey again, the dark bey that was Beherit taking flight into the air before it landed in the stadium*

---That night---

*Valt went into the BC Sol Gym and he noticed Adeline standing at a stadium*

Valt: Adeline? I haven't seen you around in a while.

Adeline: I've been up and about since you created Perfect Valkyrie, i've been wandering around the city of Spain and even contemplated leaving to go see the world and see what other Origin Beys are out there.

Valt: Are you gonna make one?

Adeline: You can count on it. I already have a design ready, i'm just waiting for the right moment to create it.

Valt: The right moment?

Adeline: Since its inventor is in town, i could probably poke her brain and see if i could get some more information out of her.

Valt: Considering the damage she did today, do you really think messing with Bella in her state is a good idea?

Adeline: Is there a problem?

Valt: I mean you saw the power she demonstrated today. I'm not doubting your skills or anything, but taking on the perfectly evolved Beherit is when its power has only been displayed once is just not a smart idea.

Adeline: Who said anything about battling. I know i can't win against her.. not right now anyway. Because when my Shield Athena is ready, Bella will be the one on the losing side.

Valt: You really think you can?

Adeline: Athena will be a defense type bey, Beherit is an attack type. I will also have the type advantage.

Valt: Well if there is nothing i can do to change your mind then go for it i suppose.

*Adeline nodded and she started to walk out of the BC Sol Gym, Valt looked down at his Perfect Valkyrie and decided it was time, time to face off with Bella*

Valt: Valkyrie.. i think it's finally time we face her..

*Valt turned to leave but stopped when he saw Main Kuromi entering the Gym*

Valt: You're...

Main: Valt Aoi.. huh? It's an honor to finally meet you.

Valt: You're Main Kuromi right?

*Main smiled and held up Primary Michael which was starting to glow*

Main: Instead of Bella, wouldn't you be better off battling a real challenge?

Valt: I hear you're pretty strong, maybe you'll help warm up Valkyrie.

Main: Warm up? I like it..

Valt: We can settle this in the morning, i'm excited to actually battle you.

Main: The pleasure is all mine, i can't wait to crush that bey of yours.

*Main turned and walked away and Valt watched him as he disappeared into the night, Valt felt very intrigued by the mysterious blader*

---The Next Day---

*The day of the match between Valt and Main was about to begin and Bella was in the stands with everyone else, sulking on the fact that she wasn't the one battling.*

Bella: How come Main gets to battle Valt first and not me?!

Athena: Valt said Main came to him at BC Sol last night and challenged him, knowing Valt he obviously accepted.

Rashad: It's a battle between an attack and stamina type, Valt should have this in the bag.

Athena: Still.. Main is very strong. What he can do against Valt remains to be seen.

*Both bladers had stepped up to the stadium and Main just smiled at Valt, his right eye starting to glow*

Main: Valt Aoi, you've got quite the crowd cheering for you. But soon, they'll all be cheering for me.

Valt: We'll see about that. This Perfect Valkyrie will send you flying!!

*Mains eyes narrowed as he started to study the bey*

Main: Perfect Valkyrie.. It combines the shape and air-ducts from Slash Valkyrie and the rubber from Brave Valkyrie and everything after it.. An interesting bey indeed.

*Main held up his bey, Primary Michael as it began to glow a golden light*

Main: But this bey, Primary Michael will launch Valkyrie into the heavens, never to be seen or heard from again.

Valt: You sound sure of yourself.. Alright, let's do this!

Referee: 1st Battle!!

*The bladers stare each other down as the battle began*

Referee: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Michael had already taken the center as Valkyrie was racing around the stadium at full speed*

Main: Now bring it on Valt! Show me what you can do!

Valt: It's time! Get in there Perfect Valkyrie!!

*Valkyrie comes charging in at full speed and starts to fire off a barrage of fierce attacks on Michael*

Valt: Keep pushing even more Valkyrie!

Main: Do it now! Primary Dagger!!

*Michael counters using the spikes on its Armor but it wasn't over for Valkyrie yet*

Valt: We're just getting warmed up!

*Valkyrie landed back in the stadium perfectly fine and it began to pick up some incredible speed*

Valt: Final Perfect Reboot!!

*The Metal Sharp tip in the Final Reboot' Driver retracted and Valkyrie shrunk down to POM hole flat which was surrounded by a rubber outer ring! Valkyrie immediately picked up a massive speed boost thanks to the mode change*

Main: W-What?!

---

Athena: Valkyrie just sped up!

Rashad: It's all thanks to the Final Reboot Driver?

Bella: Final Reboot Driver?

Rashad: When Valkyrie loses momentum, the driver activates and it gives Valkyrie a quick speed boost, allowing it to stay in the game!

Bella: T-That's amazing..!!

Athena: I guess Valkyrie is full of surprises..!

---

Valt: Let's go! Perfect Slash V!!

*The 3 blades on Valkyrie began to glow as it came charging in towards Michael which was still going strong*

Main: Primary Sphere!!

*Valkyrie clashes with Michael which was a second too late putting up its defenses and both beys were sent flying, Michael hitting the ground first as Valkyrie landed a few seconds after*

Main: Tch... Impossible..!!

Referee: Perfect Valkyrie with an Over Finish! Valt Aoi earns 1 point! Point standings are now 1-0!!

*The crowd burst into cheers as Main reached down and picked up his bey*

Main: Well it wouldn't be interesting if i had just ended the match in only the 1st battle.

*Valt picked up his bey too and looked down at it*

Valt: We just barely won the 1st battle but we'll decide the match in the next one, right partner?!

*Valkyrie shined brightly and Valt stared up at Main who began to smile fiercely*

Main: How amusing.. Maybe you're worthy of being crushed by Michael after all..!!

---

*Bella who was watching the battle from afar was in awe at the battle, she couldn't believe what she was seeing and her possessed heart was starting to crack, light finally pouring through.*

Bella: That's.. awesome..!!

[TBC]

Next Chapter: The Greatest Evolution! Perfect Valkyrie!!
