*Main Kuromi and Lane Valhalla had made it to the stadium and cheers could be heard from the crowd as the 2 bladers got set up at the stadium*

Main: Lane Valhalla, it's about time we get to battle.

Lane: Yeah, it's about time.

Main: Now my question is, which between us do you think will win. Will it be me? Or will it be you?

*Lane just sighed as he pulled his bey and launcher*

Lane: I guess we'll see soon enough.

Main: I suppose you still have faith in Bella, you think she'll be the one that defeats me once and for all?

Lane: The real question is why you thought it was such a good idea to side with Ashtem and the Snake Pit?

Main: Ashtem will grant me immense power as long as i do what he says.

Lane: And that, my friend is your worst and possibly last mistake. If there's one thing you should know, Ashtem is not someone you can trust. You are being manipulated and controlled as his own little lab rat.

Main: It's a small price to pay for power... And i'll be sure i get that power one way or another!

*Lane just sighed, his yellow eyes glowing purple*

Lane: Then i'll be sure to win this battle with everything i have!

---

*Athena and the others got settled in the crowd and they were watching intently*

Bella: You really think Lane can do this?

Rangara: Michael does have the type advantage after all..

Ikari: They're right you know..

Athena: Don't underestimate my brother! He'll find a way to pull it off.

Bella: A-Athena..

Athena: Lane's got this. Even if he doesn't win, he's going to prove that the drive to win and having fun is more important than simply just power and control.

---

Referee: 1st Battle!!

*Lane held up his Harbinger Lucifer as the 3 spear like spikes emitted a flickering purple spark*

Main: Harbinger Lucifer.. a bey of the Black Sun, i want to see its true power!

Lane: Be careful for what you wish for, it just might come back to bite you!

Referee: Ready and Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Lucifer was heading to the center but Michael was now getting in the way*

Main: Get in there Michael!!

Lane: Stop them Lucifer!!

*Lucifer and Michael clashed side by side! Lucifer was trying its hardest to keep Michael out of the center*

Lane: That's it! That's great!!

*Lucifer was keeping Michael at bay but it was no question that it was struggling a little bit*

---

Rangara: He's doing it! He's keeping Michael out of the center!

Bella: That's the way! Keep going!!!

Ikari: Even with Michaels Prominent driver which has a Bearing inside it, Michael is being greatly pushed back!

Athena: Maybe he can do it..

Ikari: Lucifer even has rubber in its layer to absorb attacks so Michaels attacks shouldn't have that much effect on it!

---

*The side by side clash continued and Lucifer wasn't budging at all and both of them weren't losing power either*

Main: Out of my way!!

Lane: Make me!!

Main: Tch..!!

*Michael used its spikes to knock Lucifer back at last but it used the plate on the Drift Driver to recover and speed up some*

Main: What?!

Lane: Yes!!

---

Ikari: Thanks to the free spin plate on the Drift Driver, Lucifer can stay upright even after a major attack. It really is the Ultimate Defense Type!

Bella: That's awesome!

---

Lane: I guess your stamina is just no match for my defense!

Main: You've seen nothing yet!

*Michaels spikes began to retract and Lane smiled, this was his chance*

Lane: Go Lucifer!!

*Lucifer came charging in for the attack and used all of its strength to land a massive strike on Michael and knocked it off balance*

Main: W-What the-!?

Lane: How's that?!

*Michael was incredibly off balance and there was no recovering from it, its spin was rapidly decreasing as Lucifer was coming back in for the attack*

Lane: Do it now! Harbinger Counter!!

*Lucifer strikes Michael with devastating force as Michael went flying out of the stadium and hit the ground with a clang*

Referee: Harbinger Lucifer, Over Finish! Lane Valhalla earns 1 point!!

*The crowds went wild at Lane taking the first point and Main wasn't exactly amused*

---

Bella: He actually managed to get a point! Great job out there!!!

Ikari: He just needs one more point to win!!

Athena: That's the tricky part now..

Bella: What do you mean?

Rangara: Yeah, what's up with that?!

Athena: Main has likely caught on to Lanes strategy so he'll likely go with a stronger shoot to get to the center faster this time. Lane will have to change his strategy if he is to win, an offensive strategy is the only thing he can possibly do now.

---

*Lane and Main picked up their beys and Lane began to smile*

Lane: It would appear that i have taken the first point. How do you feel about that, Supreme Lord?

Main: I wouldn't get too ahead of yourself, the battle hasn't ended yet.

*Mains eyes began to glow as well as his aura began to glow brightly*

Main: In the next battle, i am going to crush you with my full strength! Just you watch!!

*Lane just stared at Main and then looked down at his Lucifer which was glowing with a purple light, indicating it was ready*

Lane: I'd like to see you try but you're about to see the true power of Lucifer, just like you asked!

Referee: 2nd Battle!!!

*The 2 bladers got ready and took their positions as the next battle began*

Referee: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off once again and both beys were on the move and Lucifer was chasing after Michael with full speed*

Lane: Now burn them away! Lucifer!!

*Lucifer and Michael clashed with full force and were locked in fierce head to head clash*

Lane: Don't stop now! Give it all you got!!!!!

*The clashes wouldn't stop and Lucifers assault was relentless*

Main: This isn't good.. if this keeps up then i really will lose!!

*The rapid and fierce attacks weren't stopping and Lucifers assault continued*

---

Bella: Lane!! Blow this guy to the skies and back!! Show this fake Supreme Lord clown what you can really do!!!

---

*Lane smiled as he heard Bellas cheers, giving him more and more resolve! Main looked towards the audience with a furious look*

Main: That stupid child...!!!!

Lane: Eyes over here Supreme Lord!!

Main: Tch..!!!

*Lucifer and Michael clashed once again and were knocked back*

Lane: Your reign ends here, your highness! Just give up while you can!!

Main: You're testing my patience! You're the one who should give up!!

*The clashes wouldn't stop as the Ultimate Dropper opened up and Michael was knocked back and fell into the Low Level*

Main: Tch..!!

---

Bella: Go Lane! Hit him while he's down! Now's your chance!!!

Rangara: Are you sure he can even hear you?

---

*The spikes on Michael were retracting once again and Mains eyes widened, his True Supreme Lord persona taking over. His voice boomed with reverb as he shouted his next move*

Main: SUPREME LORD!!!!

*The spikes fully retracted as a ring of light emitted from Michael, its speed not dropping a bit*

Main: I've grown tired of dealing with you! Michael!!!

Main: Alright Jet-Black Sun, bring it on if you dare!!!

*Lucifer was still on the High Level and its speed hadn't dropped either*

Lane: This ends here! Lucifer!!!

*Lane yelled out with full determination as a purple and red flame trailed over his hand; Lucifer was picking up some incredible speed as it traveled along the High Level*

Lane: Now get in there!!

*Lucifers flare surrounded it like a raging inferno and it was coming straight for the hole*

Lane: It's over! Strike them down with Harbinger Disaster!!!

*Lucifer fell through the hole as its blades glowed and Michael was in its sights*

Main: Do it! Supreme Sphere!!!

*Michaels sphere glowed to life and Lucifer landed on top of it with incredible force! Glitching out tremendously, Lucifer was burst a few seconds upon impact*

Lane: W-What?!!

Referee: Supreme Michael with a Burst Finish! Main Kuromi is the winner!!

*Main picked up his bey and he raised it high into the air as it began to glow brightly, Lane fell to his knees in despair*

Main: This is.. how the Supreme Lord battles!!!

*Lane picked up the pieces of Lucifer as he looked behind him and saw Bella running on stage*

Bella: MAIN!!!!

*Main looked down at Bella with no emotion whatsoever as Bella stared up at him furiously*

Bella: It's my turn now! I will now be the one who crushes you!!

Lane: Bella..

Bella: I will not stand for your nonsense any longer! When i battle you, i'll send that bey flying!!

*Main raised a finger and pointed it towards the other end of the arena, Bella looked behind her and saw Athena coming towards the stadium*

Bella: A-Athena..?

Lane: So she's going to battle him after all..

Main: You, Bella Akazara will be saved for last.. The true opponent between the 3 of you, is Athena Valhalla!

*Athena stood at the stadium as she placed a hand on their shoulders*

Athena: I accept your challenge and whatever terms you may have, i just know i'll be the one that defeats you and puts you in your place.

*Main just smiled as his aura began to glow brightly, his smile was as psychotic as Lanes used to be*

Main: I will give you all of tomorrow to prepare and that is it.. the day of the battle is where i end your entire story and your legacy along with it!

*Athena just stared at Main as he continued to smile wickedly, the fated battle was in 2 days..*

---Later that day---

*Bella stood alone in a training room as she was training as hard as she could but her frustration was beyond intense, Ikari had never seen her like this in her life*

Ikari: Bella..

*Rangara had entered the room and he was in a good mood it seemed*

Rangara: Yo Bella!!

*Rangara was instantly concerned as he saw how intense Bella was training*

Rangara: B-Bella? Are you alright?

Bella: That guy..! He makes me so mad!!

Rangara: I know how you feel however, i think i know a way we can both get cheered up! It'll even serve as good practice for you.

Bella: What's that?

*Rangara held up his Ragnaruk as he began to smile, his aura faintly glowing*

Rangara: Since the day i met you, i've always wanted to truly beat you in battle and now that you'll be facing the Supreme Lord soon after Athena. I want to take that chance now!

*Rangaras eyes began to glow with an intense flame*

Rangara: I also like you a lot Bella! I always have, even since the first day we met, that fateful day at the Castle Of Demise!

*Bella was in awe at what Rangara was saying, her cheeks were flushed red a bit*

Bella: R-Rangara.. i..

*Ikari just watched from the side with a big smile on her face*

Ikari: They're so cute together..

*Bella held up her bey too as her eyes began to glow with a fiery flame as well*

Bella: I'll gladly accept your challenge, i'll tell you how i feel after the battle!

*The 2 bladers got set up at the stadium and the battle began*

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Ragnaruk had taken the center of the stadium right off the bat*

Rangara: High Roaring Gale!!

*Ragnaruks tornado swirled to life as Beherit came charging in for the attack*

Bella: True Obsidian Shoot!!

*Beherit began to fire off a barrage of attacks on Ragnaruk, knocking it back with each impact*

---

Ikari: Beherits attacks are doing some serious to Ragnaruk!

---

Rangara: That's not all we can do! Ragnaruk!!

*Ragnaruk tilts on its Metal Never driver and manages to dodge the next attack; Bella squealed in excitement as her aura was glowing bright*

Bella: EEEE-!! Rangara!!!

Rangara: I will defeat you! I won't stop until i do!!

Bella: Beherit's only getting started so get ready!!

*Beherits awakened driver started to spark and Beherit came charging in*

Rangara: S-So fast!!

*Beherit and Ragnaruk clashed with all their might as both tried to push the other back*

Rangara: It's time to end this!!

Bella: The Princess Of Darkness will prevail!!

Rangara: BELLA!!!

Bella: RANGARA!!!

*The auras of both beys glowed brightly as they surged with bolts of electricity*

Rangara: Ragnaruk!!!

Bella: Beherit!!!

*The 2 beys continued to grind against each other and Beherits rubber blade hooks onto Ragnaruks wing*

Bella: True Obsidian... Slash!!!

*The blade began to glow and Ragnaruk was sent flying into the wall and burst upon impact*

Rangara: N-No!!!

Bella: Yes!!!!!

*Beherit traveled around the stadium, doing a victory lap as the pieces of Ragnaruk fell around it*

Rangara: I.. I lost..

*Rangara fell to his knees in despair as Bella walked over to Rangara, gets to her knees too and throws her arms around Rangara, kissing him on the cheek and getting up, taking Rangara by complete surprise*

Bella: Is that sufficient answer for ya?

*Bella giggled and ran out of the training room, leaving Ikari and Rangara there*

Rangara: Man..

---Meanwhile---

*Athena and Lane stood together on the bow of the cruise ship as they watched the sunset*

Athena: You may have lost today but i'm proud of you, you did great today.

Lane: Yeah, i still wish i had actually won. I could've ended this nonsense for good.

Athena: Well, i had a feeling once Michael was knocked into the Low Level that you were in trouble, Michael was in perfect position the whole time to use Supreme Sphere..

Lane: I didn't even think about that..

Athena: Well thanks to you, i know how to fight it now.

Lane: What is it? Tell me god damn it!

Athena: You'll see.. it's not as hard as you might think..

*The 2 continued to watch the sunset, the fate of the Blading World resting on Athena and Bellas shoulders*

[TBC]

Next Chapter: Closure! Athena VS Main!!
