*A day had passed since Athena had full regained her bond with Adeona and she had sat alone in the Gates Of Hell as she cleaned off her equipment*

Athena: The last evolution.. you really are something else..

*Adeona glowed as it pulled Athena into the avatar world, when her vision came to, Adeona appeared and its numerous spiked wings spread widely as it hovered in a purple void as sparkles hung in the air*

Athena: A-Adeona..!

*Adeona's feminine voice was as clear as day as its eyes glowed*

Adeona: It's been so long Athena..

*Athena was drawn closer to Adeona as two rings of fire began to surround the 2, coming from top and the bottom*

Athena: Adeona... i don't know what to say..

*The rings of fire touched and the world around them transformed into a heavenly like world, Adeonas eyes began to burn with a burning hot flame as its jaw opened up, revealing a line of serrated teeth*

Adeona: You can't possibly know how much i missed talking to you like this.

Athena: I think i missed you more than anything else, it's been so long..

Adeona: I watched over you and your battles since our previous evolution, i'm proud of how strong you and your family has gotten..

*Athena smiled as the 2 reached out and touched each other, hand to finger once again. The avatar world disappeared and Athena just smiled as she held her bey in her hand, her aura glowing smoothly around her*

Athena: Adeona, it's great to have you back.

---Meanwhile---

*Main Kuromi stood in the Sparking Arenas training center as Michael spun in the center, its stamina not dropping at all. Main looked rather focused and calm but on the inside, he wasn't as calm*

Main: So Athena finally evolved her bey.. and she had the guts to challenge me to a battle royale, interesting..

*Mains eye began to glow as his bey was glowing too*

Main: I'll be waiting for you Athena.. i'll be waiting..

---Back At The Gates Of Hell---

*Athena and Bella had stood up to the stadium in the Theater Of Hell as the battle between the 2 was about to start*

Bella: Final Adeona huh? this battle is already been decided!!

*Athena smiled as she held her bey up as it began to glow again*

Athena: Is that so? Well then, i guess i'll just have to end the battle myself, i'll show you my true power!

*The Demon King Drone came flying in and it hovered above the stadium, Bell was watching from the back with Jingemon*

Drone: First Battle!!

Bella: Beherit, using your new awakening on the driver, we'll blow Adeona to the skies!

*Beherit glowed with a purple aura as its eye glowed, agreeing to Bellas plan*

Athena: She seems confident, we'll see how long that lasts..!

*Both bladers take their positions and the battle began*

Drone: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Beherit and Adeona were spinning smoothly with no resistance at all and they both came charging for the center for a head on clash*

Bella: We're going to end this in one shot!

*Beherit and Adeona were closing the gap fast and Beherit made its move*

Athena: Here it comes..

Bella: Obsidian Thunder!!

*Beherit clashes with Adeona at full strength and knocks it high into the air*

Bellas: How's that?

*Adeona landed back in the stadium and it recovered from the attack*

Athena: Not bad, but we're justing started so get ready!

*Adeona began to speed up and a trail of purple trailed behind it, its power increasing rapidly*

Bella: Come on Beherit, full speed!

*Beherit hits the rim of the stadium and began to pick up speed too*

Bella: Obsidian Charge!

*Beherit charges in and launches Adeona into the air once again but it recovered and it hit the rim of the stadium too and began to speed up like a rocket, a flash of purple light filling the stadium*

Bella: W-What?!

*Adeona lets go of the rim and it came charged in for Beherit fast*

Athena: Final Flash!!

*Adeona slams into Beherit as a spark of light shot through Beherit and it burst instantly*

Bella: W-What?!

Drone: Final Adeona with a Burst Finish! Athena Valhalla is the winner!!

*Athena scooped up Adeona as it spun into her hand and she smiled at Bella who was still in shock at what just happened*

Bella: T-That's amazing..

Athena: That was a fun battle, we should do it again later!

*Bella fell to her knees in despair, picking up the pieces of her bey in shock*

Bella: W-What just happened..

---Later---

*Bella was running through the city of Japan as she tried to process what had happened in the battle with Athena*

Bella: Adeona picked up a boost of speed in the late part of the battle and that is how she was able to beat me, even by doing a Power Mode Shoot.. i still couldn't beat it.

*Bella held her launcher in her hand and noticed that a gear inside the launcher had fractured from overexertion, the battle against Athena had completely torn it apart*

Bella: Looks like i'll have to make a new launcher.. but how can i make a strong launcher like this even more stronger?

*Bella examined the damage on the launcher and finally found another problem, the generator that processed the power of the launch had malfunctioned and completely died*

Bella: I guess my launch strength has gotten even stronger, no matter! I'll create a launcher that can handle my power!

*Bella jumped up and ran to the Sparking Arena to get started*

---Meanwhile---

*Main Kuromi stood alone in one of the training rooms and his bey was spinning in the center of the center as Adeline came from around the corner*

Main: You're..?

Adeline: Adeline Hakase, i saw all your recent battles and i must say, your strength is indeed the real deal.

*Adeliine stepped up to the stadium and held up her bey*

Adeline: I want to see those skills first hand.

*About a minute later, the stadium exploded with a burst of golden flames and Shield Athenas pieces fell to the ground with scorch marks and steam coming off of the parts*

Adeline: T-There's no way..!

Main: I call that Supreme Lighting, a move that will destroy any bey that opposes us

*Adeline picked up the pieces of her bey and the hot pieces of the bey burned her hands*

Adeline: Tch.. this sucks..!

---Later---

*Bella made it back to the Gates Of Hell and she ran inside to the Theater Of Hell, holding her bey up to Bella once again*

Bella: Athena, i am ready! Let's battle once again!

*Athena smiled and held up her bey too, her aura glowing brightly*

Athena: Alright, let's do this!

*The 2 stood up to the stadium and Bella held up her new launcher which took forever to make, it had a new processor inside that monitored the launch strength, a stronger battery, reinforced gears that wouldn't break so easily and it was permanently in Power Mode, it was the Ultimate Launcher*

Athena: So she has a new launcher now.. that's interesting.

*Bell and the other friend group members stood on the balcony watching the battle as the Demon King Drone came in*

Drone: 1st Battle!!

Bella: If i learned anything from the last time i battled, Adeona can attack super hard with its rubber swords.. i can't just rely on brute strength to beat it this time around.. but with this new Launcher, we can reach speeds we've never reached before.

*The 2 bladers took their positions and the battle began*

Drone: Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Beherit was so much more faster this time and it rocketed around the stadium at full speed*

Athena: W-What?! It's so fast!!

Bella: This is the power of the Ultimate Launcher! Now go!!

*Beherit charged up the slope of the stadium and Adeona was doing the same*

Bella: Obsidian Shoot!!

Athena: Final Shoot!!

*The 2 beys clashed back and forth with full force and Adeona was slowly being pushed back*

Athena: Adeona! Push them back instead!!

*Adeona was instead knocked back but it recovered and kept on going at full speed*

Athena: Now! Final Flash!

*Adeona hits the rim of the stadium and it begins to speed up greatly, slamming into Beherit before it could hit the rim and did unbelievable damage to it*

Bella: Tch..!!

*Beherit tilts on the spiked rubber part of its driver and began to speed up*

Bella: We're not going to lose again! Obsidian Flash!!

*Beherit hit the rim too and began to speed up too, chasing after Adeona with full speed*

Athena: Adeona!!

*Adeona lets go of the rim and banks left around the center and comes back around for the next attack*

Bella: It's time! Beherit!!

*Beherit dodged the attack and it sped up even more, its rubber tip sparkling again*

Bella: It's all over! Go!!

*Beherit lets go of the rim and took off like a rocket!*

Athena: Go Adeona! End it!!

*Beherit hits the wall with a hard thud and all of its momentum was gone, it was wobbling with barely anything to hold on to and Adeona was coming in hot*

Athena: Final Saber: A!!

*Adeona clashes with Beherit at full force and knocks it into the air, bursting it*

Bella: I-Impossible..

Drone: Final Adeona with a Burst Finish! Athena Valhalla is the winner!!

*Bell who was watching the battle from the balcony with the others just smiled*

Bell: Well that was interesting..

Rangara: Even with a new launcher, i guess Bella still has a long way to go..

Bella: Tch.. everything was perfect so how did i lose..?!

*Bella was instantly startled as the voice of Beherit boomed in her mind*

Beherit: It's because the power of Adeonas attack and the bond Athena shares with it fueled its attack power to the complete and utter max, dealing the ultimate attack!

Bella: Their bonds?

Beherit: Athena's bond with Adeona comes from their experiences, it's their resolve to push through all challenges is the reason they are as strong as they are now.

Bella: I see.. we'll just strengthen our bond as wel then..!

---Later---

*Bella and Athena sat alone on the beach for a while as they watched the sun start to set in the distance*

Bella: So i'm going to be in a battle royale with you tomorrow with Main?

*Athena nodded and smiled*

Athena: That's right, it's just something i thought would be fun, let's do our best tomorrow.

Bella: Yeah! I'm going to blow Main away with just one attack!!

Athena: Hehe, i like your confidence. Yeah, you'll get him for sure.

*The 2 sat silently for a while and eventually Bella broke the silence*

Bella: Do you ever think Main will forgive you? I mean he clearly hates you and it doesn't seem like he's ever going to forgive you for destroying his bey in the past.

Athena: At this point, i don't expect him to.. i just don't want him to ruin the Beyblade world and undermine everything the bladers of the world worked for. Beyblade is meant to be enjoyed by having fun, not using it as some ruling device.

Bella: That is true.

Athena: That's the whole reason i set up the battle royale for tomorrow, i want Main to realize the fun in Beyblade again. That's all there is to it.

Bella: And what if he doesn't?

Athena: Then we'll find some other way. We can't let our way of Beyblade be tarnished so easily.

Bella: Main has defeated so many bladers and even destroyed my bey along with yours and Rangara, how can we fight a move like Supreme Sphere?

Athena: Supreme Sphere is one of the strongest moves i've ever seen. Whatever force that's being pushed upon it is going to get sent right back.

Bella: W-What?!

Athena: the Sphere sends whatever damage it takes back to the opponent, that's how he destroyed Beherit and Adeona. He just used the strength of our attack against us and ended our beys just like that. It's a devastating and dare i say, invincible special move.

Bella: Surely a move like that has a weakness right?

Athena: I only managed to break through it once, though it was most likely just luck. Main probably wasn't using his full force back then.

Bella: I see..

Athena: Finding a weakness in Supreme Sphere can't happen until we find a weakness in Michael itself. It's unfortunate but we have to work with what we're given right now.

Bella: Well hopefully we'll find something..

Athena: Yeah, i just hope whatever he throws at us tomorrow, we can stand a chance against it. And hopefully we can bring him down, because i don't know what we're going to do if we don't...

[TBC]
