*It was the next night and Athena and Bella were on the bus heading to the Supreme Prime castle that was in the mountains, Athena pulled up the specs of Supreme Michael and began to think up a plan while Bella was off asleep*

Athena: Supreme Michael, it's a right rotating Stamina type that can change its shape in the middle of a battle.. this is the bey that shattered my old Legacy Adeona..

*Athena vividly remembered the heart wrenching shatter of her old bey as its pieces had crumbled to the floor*

Athena: That was a painful event to live through, however i'll get the payback i've been wanting since then and hopefully i can end this little feud Main has with me.

*Athena looked over at Bella who was sound asleep in the seat next to her and smiled kindly*

Athena: At least i have you.. you won't let harm come my way..

*Athena looked off into the distance and Supreme Prime was at the mountains summit, Athenas eyes narrowed as her opponent was waiting at the top in that fortress*

Athena: I'm coming Main, just you wait.

*The bus was climbing the mountains slope and the castle was getting even closer and closer, Athena could even see the sunrise in the distance*

Athena: So that's Supreme Prime..

*Bella had finally woken up and she looked out the window, she saw the hulking figure of Supreme Prime, the armored fortress was a lot bigger than expected*

Bella: it's huge..!

Athena: My opponent is in there, today is the day where everything ends between me and him..

*The finally get to the top of the mountain and the entrance was wide open for them, the 2 walked through and entered the heavenly labyrinth*

---On the inside---

*Bella and Athena walked through the palace as they headed to the main throne room where Main was, all sorts of ancient beys were hanging on the walls on the way to the room*

Athena: Are these beys that Main destroyed..?

*Bella and Athena continued to walk through the labyrinth of light and eventually, she had made it to the throne room where Main was waiting*

Main: So you finally made it.. and you even brought someone with you..

Athena: It was either she came or i wouldn't come at all.

*Bella ran off to the side to spectate the battle, sitting on one of the sofas*

Main: I expected as much, i know how much you want to get revenge against me. I can almost even smell it.

Athena: If that's the case then bring it on, i'm ready for you.

*Both bladers stood up to the stadium and Main held up his bey, its aura glowing brightly*

Main: Supreme Michael, i'll show it's true power here and now and nothing will ever break through its unrelenting stamina and defense!

*Athena straightened as she held her bey in her hand*

Athena: Final Adeona, i wonder if that stamina will be able to handle our overwhelming attack power!

Main: Is that so? Well then, show me what that attack power can do!

*The battle was being broadcast around the entire world and Bella was watching the battle from the sidelines*

Main: Supreme Prime Rules will not be in effect today, regular rules will apply for this match. This will be first to 2 points.

Bella: Athena...

Computer: 1st Battle!!

*The bladers take their positions*

Athena: Bella, don't worry about a thing, i've got this under control.. you just sit back and watch me work.

Main: I will break Adeona once again, like i said before... your story ends with your crushing defeat!

Computer: Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Michael had taken the center as always as Adeona was charging around the stadium at full speed*

Athena: Adeona!!

*Adeona hits the wall and comes charging in for the blow as Michael was stationary in the center*

Main: Tch!!

Athena: Final Shoot!!

*Adeona fired a fierce barrage of attacks on Michael, knocking it around*

Main: Is that all you got? Attacks like those won't work!

*Adeona pushed even harder and knocked Michael off balance as it was now on the move and Adeona chased after it*

Main: Don't think we're going to lose here! Supreme Lightning!!

*Michael came charging in as bolts of electricity came off of it, it slams into Adeona and launched it upward*

Athena: Adeona!!

*Adeona came falling back down and it was falling straight for Michael*

Athena: That's not good!!

Main: Do it! Supreme Sphere!!

*After a brief collision with the Sphere, Adeona was knocked back into the air with incredible force*

Athena: Tch.. so stubborn..!!

---

Bella: If this keeps up then Athena won't be able to use Final Saber: A...

---

Lane: Supreme Michael.. it's merciless..!

Rangara: Yeah..

---

*Michael was picking up even more speed, its bolts of electricity sparking hard*

Main: I'm done playing with you for this battle..!!

*Michael came charging in and knocks Adeona out of the stadium with one blow*

Athena: Tch..!

Computer: Supreme Michael with an Over Finish! Main Kuromi earns 1 point!

---

Rangara: Athena actually lost the first point..!!

Lane: Main isn't even taking this seriously, he's just toying with her and wants to torment her just like before..

Rangara: That guy just can't get enough!

Lane: Athena isn't going full power either.. she wants to see what Michael is capable of and use whatever she finds to her advantage.

Rangara: But if she loses the next battle it's over!

Lane: I have a feeling Athena has a way around that, she's not going down so easily!

---

*Athena picked up her bey and stared up at Main who was surrounded by his aura of light*

Main: Is that all you got? So much for a Final evolution..

Athena: That's not all the power i hold, i have a lot more to show you.

Main: Oh really?

Athena: I know you're toying with me so i held back in the 1st battle, i want to see what you are truly capable of in the next battle!

*Main just stared at her as his bey began to glow*

Athena: Main.. i can see it in your eyes, you aren't happy with all of this. I want to see the true bond you share with Michael..

*The 2 were transported to a sparkling void of rainbows and Main stood in front of Athena, the avatar of Michael hung over Main as their auras connected*

Main: I've shared this bond with Michael for a long time, i can feel its power coursing through my very being..

*Athena stared up at the figure of Michael and was in absolute amazement, she couldn't even look away*

Athena: So that's... Michael..!

Main: The path that's laid in front of me, is the path i must take.. this is the only way i can prove myself!

Athena: Beyblade isn't about being some overlord trying to take over the world, Beyblade is about having fun. I want you to believe in Michael and you will really enjoy the battle, i can assure you that.

*Main nodded and the avatar world disappeared and the 2nd battle was about to commence, Athenas eyes began to glow as she smiled at Main*

Bella: Athena... are you..?!

---

Rangara: Something is different now with Main.. is he..?!

Lane: Yeah, Athena finally reached out to him, like she does best.

---

Computer: 2nd Battle!!

Main: I will end this battle with all i have, you are not going to win!

Athena: We'll see about that, now let's do this thing!

Computer: Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Michael and Adeona were racing around the stadium at full speed*

Athena: Now Final Shoot!!

*Adeona clashed hard with Michael as its blades were retracting*

Main: Supreme Change!!

*Michael had become fully round as its aura started to glow and it took the center immediately*

Main: Michael!!!

*Adeona hit the wall and soared into the air and was climbing even higher and higher, Athenas eyes began to glow as her hair began to turn white too*

Athena: Adeona!!

*Adeona was starting to fall even faster, a burning white flame trailing behind it as it fell faster and faster*

Athena: Full power! Final Dive!!

*Adeona was closing the gap and its blades were glowing too*

Main: Supreme Sphere!!

*Adeona clashed into Michaels sphere and a fierce explosion burst out of the stadium as both beys stared into the storm! Both beys were knocked back and Adeona was picking up some incredible speed*

Athena: Adeona!!

Main: Michael!!

*The avatar of Michael loomed over Main as it let out a loud howl! Michael started to speed up as bolts of electricity began to come off of it*

Main: Supreme Lightning!!

Athena: Final Saber: A!!

*The 2 beys clashed with full force and a massive explosion bursts out of the stadium and it was getting even bigger and bigger. The stadium blew up again as cracks began to form in the arena, both beys flew out of the stadium and burst at the same time*

Athena: W-What the...?!

Main: That's impossible..!

Computer: Double Burst Finish! Draw!!

*The 3 couldn't believe what had happened, but one thing was for certain: The battle could not continue.*

---Later that day---

*Athena and Bella had returned from Supreme Prime and they were met by Lane and Rangara, Bella had ran off on her own for a little while*

Rangara: Well that didn't go well..

Athena: Yeah, the stadium was destroyed and we couldn't finish the battle.. we just left after that.

Lane: Well the battle could've gone worse, if the stadium was better reinforced then you probably would've taken the win.

Athena: Yeah, victory was just within my grasp.. if it weren't for the stadium then i would've won for sure.

*Athena clutched her bey tightly as it began to glow*

Athena: Next time, i will win.

*Athena turned and walked away, Lane just watched as she had went into the Sparking Arena*

---Meanwhile---

Bella: Beherit..

*Bella sat alone in a nearby forest as she looked down at her Bey as it pulled her into the Avatar world*

Beherit: What's wrong?

Bella: The battle between Athena and Main ended with no contest. The stadium was destroyed before a winner could be decided!

Beherit: And what does that have to do with us?

Bella: Well Athena was close to beating him for sure but i still don't know Michaels weakness. Knowing it is key to beating that guy.

Beherit: I would suggest finding as much info on the bey as possible, study it and maybe you'll find something.

Bella: Well that is true but there has to be someone that knows Michaels weakness. Maybe Valt does?

Beherit: Probably not. Valt forced his way through Michaels defenses and that's how he was able to beat him, besides, Main isn't on the same level he was back then.

Bella: I guess so..

Beherit: What about Free De La Hoya?

Bella: Free?

Beherit: He's the one of the only other bladers who has been able to beat Main so there's a chance he might know something, perhaps it's weakness or a way to even fight it skillfully.

Bella: If he battled Main then it would've been with Primary Michael, Mains old bey. Come to think of it, i don't think i've battled Free yet.

Beherit: That's the thing, we haven't. We don't know anything about his Fafnir bey.

Bella: Well i'm sure we'll figure something out.

*The avatar world disappeared and Bella hopped to her feet in excitement*

Bella: Alright! Let's do this thing!!

*Before she could go, she noticed a figure out of the corner of her eye and when the figure was in full view, Bella recognized him immediately, It was Free De La Hoya himself.*

Bella: Free?!

Free: You must be Bella Akazara right?

Bella: That's right.

Free: Valt has told me quite a bit about you.

Bella: Really? All good i hope.

Free: Mostly. He told me you're a pretty strong blader.

Bella: Well that is true, i am strong.

Free: He did say that.

*Free held up his bey, Ghost Fafnir as it began to glow with a bright aura*

Free: If you're so strong then let us see your strength!

*Both of them find a stadium and Bella began to study Fafnir*

Bella: Ghost Fafnir.. knowing beys from the Fafnir evolution line, it always has rubber to absorb the opponents spin for its own. Looks like this Fafnir is no different and its parts are really going to help amplify its ability. This is my first time battling Free, i got to make a good first impression.

Free: Obsidian Beherit.. 3 sided shape, burst lock, a constantly-awakening driver.. it's an attack type in every sense of the term.. let's see what it can do.

*Both bladers take positions and the battle was about to start*

Free: Let's do this!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Fafnir was slowly spinning to the center as Beherit came rushing in*

Bella: So he went with a soft launch approach.. interesting..

*Fafnir had taken the center and Beherit was coming in hot*

Free: Alright, bring it on..

Bella: Let em have it!!

*Beherit clashes with Fafnir, intentionally giving it spin and Fafnir began to speed up greatly*

Free: That's the beginning of the end.. Go Fafnir!!

*Fafnir came rushing in but Beherit dodged its attack and it was picking up speed*

Bella: Obsidian Shoot!!

*Fafnir had taken the center once again and Beherit was firing a barrage of attacks upon it, not even Fafnir could take them*

Free: Ghost Spin!!

*Fafnir absorbed more of Beherits attacks and sent it flying*

Bella: We're just getting started now prepare yourself!

*Beherit managed to recover and it retained its speed as its driver started to spark*

Free: W-What's that?!

Bella: Now Beherit!!

*Beherit began to pick more speed as it was glowing with a purple aura and Fafnir was starting to head on the move too*

Free: Now Fafnir!!

Free: Ghost Claw!!

Bella: It's a burst! Obsidian Thunder!!

*Both beys charged for the center and clashed hard as a massive explosion burst out, Fafnir was knocked into the wall and the friction of the rubber and the wall caused a burst finish on Fafnir*

Free: W-What?!

Bella: Alright!!

*Bella smiled victoriously as she threw up a peace sign, Beherit still spinning in the stadium*
