*Athena stood on the sidelines of the stadium as she watched the coming battle unfold, she looks over at Bellas little sister Ikari who was scrolling through her ipad*

Athena: Your sister and Rangara is rather interesting. I'm curious to see which one of them i'll be battling.

Ikari: You have no preference on who you want to battle?

Athena: Not really. I want to battle both of them either way, regardless of who goes first.

Ikari: I see.. well it seems like who will be going first is about to be decided.

---

Bella: Alright Rangara, i'll be the one who battles Athena first. You're going second!

*Rangara grins and prepares to launch as he notices he didn't have enough power for a Power Mode Shoot again*

Rangara: My Launcher still hasn't fully charged up enough for a Power Mode Shoot again, i may have to resort to Central Mode..

Bella: My Launcher is almost at 100%, 95% should be enough to pull off a Power Mode Shoot and crush Ragnaruk into pieces.

Referee-Bot: First Battle!!

Athena: Beherit and Ragnaruk, both are Origin System Beys.. i wonder what they are really like up close in person.

Bella: Whoever battles Athena will be decided by a 2-Point battle. No do-overs, no complaints. Whoever wins, wins and will her first.

Rangara: Fine by me. Now let's get this party on the road.

*Both bladers take their positions and the battle began*

Referee-Bot: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys landed in the stadium and Ragnaruk immediately took the center, its wings were now deployed even with a Central Mode Shoot*

Rangara: High Roaring Gale!!

*Ragnaruks vortex of flames burst forth and a storm was brewing within the stadium*

Rangara: Come at me, Beherit!

Bella: You really think that's gonna work on us twice?

*Beherit slams into Ragnaruk and was sent flying back instead*

Bella: Tch, even without the use of a Power Mode Shoot, Ragnaruk still has so much power and stamina!

Rangara: Burn them away!!

*Ragnaruks began to crank up the heat as its spin was not slowing down at all, meanwhile Beherit was starting to wobble*

Bella: Keep going Beherit, push through!

Rangara: Now!

*One attack was all it took and Beherit was sent flying into the air and it flew out of the stadium*

Bella: N-No way..!

Referee-Bot: Gale Ragnaruk, Over Finish! 1 Point is awarded to Rangara Kiyama!!

Rangara: How's that?!

*Athena just looks over towards Bella with a bit of concern and softly smiles, catching her attention*

Athena: You can do it Bella. You've got this.

*Bella nods and turns back towards her bey as it glowed and pulled her into the Avatar World*

Beherit: Bella, we can do this! Let's eradicate Ragnaruk from existence!

Bella: Yeah! Athena seems to be counting on me, as if she wants to battle me the most. I unfortunately don't have enough power to pull off a Power Mode Shoot again.

Beherit: Then we'll go with Central Mode, Rangara has no other options either so it's completely fullproof!

Bella: Yeah!

*The avatar world disappeared and Bella simply just smiles*

Bella: Alright! I'll end this with the next battle!!

---Meanwhile---

*Lane continued to stand outside the gates to the castle and patiently waited for her to get out*

Lane: It's taking way too long, what is she doing?

*Lane felt an odd presence coming and Lane quickly turns to find nothing there*

Lane: What was that just now?

*An odd and piercing stare struck Lane right in his heart and Lane looked down the path as he saw him, a blader coming down the path.. Lane felt like he knew exactly who this was. It was him*

Lane: You're...

???: Lane Valhalla... don't tell me you've forgotten me so soon.

Lane: Main... Kuromi..!

Main: So you do remember me, that's great. it would be a shame to crush someone who doesn't remember me.

Lane: What do you want? what do you want from me?!

Main: I'm not after you at the moment..

*Lane immediately knew what he was talking about*

Lane: You're after Athena...

Main: Correct you are... when i finally destroy her, i'll come for you and Bella Akazara..

Lane: Bella? What do you know about her?!

Main: I'm just someone who knows her little secret..

Lane: Secret? What secret?!

*Main didn't answer as he reached into his pocket and took out broken pieces of what used to be a generic DB Bey, the broken bey was a violet Prominence Phoenix-10 which was now split into pieces.*

Main: When i get my hands on her, i'll make her feel the same despair i once did. 

Lane: What do i have to do with any of this? I'm not the one who split your bey into pieces.

*Main turned and started to walk off as he called out to him*

Main: Relay this message to Athena, "Main Kuromi is coming, i'll shatter Adeona and soon i'll crush you and Bella as well! I hereby declare war on the Valhalla Family"!

*Lane simply frowns as he watches Main walk away down the path leaving the castle property*

Lane: Main Kuromi, why are you like this now?

---Meanwhile---

*Bella and Rangaras battle kept on going and every battle so far had ended in a draw, their launchers were incredibly low on charge so this next battle needed to make it count. Both of their launchers were down to 15%, they had to make this next battle count because*

Athena: All of their battles have ended in draws, this has gone on for a while now.

Ikari: Their launchers are also gonna run out of power if they keep this up, they can't keep going on like this.

Athena: Bella, this next battle could decide the match, will you be the one that comes out on top?

Bella: Alright, Rangara! Our launchers are getting low on charge, we need to end this here!

Rangara: I was thinking the exact same, now let's begin!

Referee-Bot: 11th Battle!!

*Both bladers take their positions and the battle started

Referee-Bot: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys land in the stadium and Ragnaruk takes the center once again*

Rangara: High Roaring Gale!!

*Ragnaruks vortex of flames burst forth and it swirled around in the stadium*

Rangara: Now come at me, Beherit!!

*Beherit was racing around the edge of the stadium at full speed*

Rangara: What's wrong? You afraid of a little wind?

Bella: Not really, but you should be the one who's afraid.

Rangara: W-What?!

---

*Athena watched the battle unfold, her eyes narrowing*

Athena: If this keeps up, Beherit could run out of stamina!

---

*Ragnaruk was already starting to slow down as its tornado went down, it's stamina slowly going down. Beherit was also starting to lose speed as well*

Rangara: Looks like a burst is off the menu for today..

*Beherit uses the ring on its driver to skid away and pick up some incredible speed, Bella grins as her auras blazed to life*

Bella: Beherit!!

Beherit: Let's finish it!!

*Beherit rushes around the stadium at top speed as it prepares for a special move*

Rangara: Tch..!

Bella: Tear them apart, 3-Bladed Assault Piercer!!

*Beherit slams into Ragnaruk and both beys went flying, Ragnaruk flew in front of Rangaras face and burst into pieces as Rangara screamed out in surprise*

Referee-Bot: Origin Beherit, Burst Finish! Bella Akazara wins with a score of 2-1!!

Bella: Alright we did it!!

*Rangara fell to his knees in despair as he picked up the pieces of his bey*

Rangara: R-Ragnaruk.. i failed...!

*Bella simply just looks down at her fallen opponent and smiled*

Bella: You know? Seeing as how we both wanted to battle Athena, i think you're more deserving of going first.

Rangara: B-Bella..?!

Athena: Aww that's so sweet.

Rangara: Y-You really want me to go first?

Bella: Yeah, besides it's good for me too as i can sit back and watch you lose and i can come with a strategy to beat Athena!

*Rangara deadpanned as he shot to his feet*

Rangara: O-Oh so that's why you're doing this!?!

Athena: I mean, nothing wrong with that i guess. Strategy is important when it comes to Beyblade.

*Bellas grandpa, Ben enters the throne room and calls them to dinner.*

Ben: Dinner is ready, come and get it!

Bella: Oh man, i can't wait to see what gramps has cooked up this time!

Athena: I guess we can eat first then we'll battle.

*Athena notices Lane entering the throne room as well*

Athena: Lane? I thought you were waiting outside..!

Lane: I need to talk to you, like right now.

Athena: Lane what's wrong?

*Bella calls out to her from across the room*

Bella: Hey are you coming?

Athena: Yeah i'll be there in a bit!

*Athena focused her attention back to her brother as he began to explain. Rangara, Ikari and Grandpa Ben had already went to the dining room while Bella stayed behind and overheard the conversation as she hid behind the throne*

Athena: What?! That guy came here?

Lane: Yeah, and i don't think he's ok in the head after his loss to you.

Athena: Well anyone would be. i'm just that strong.

Lane: Athena, sis! This is actually serious stuff we're dealing with here!!! This isn't no friendly competition or anything! You've made a powerful and dangerous enemy in Main Kuromi!

*Athena was a bit in disbelief at what she was hearing and finally got serious*

Athena: What did he want?

Lane: Like i said, you've made a fierce enemy with Main Kuromi. He is coming after you and he wants to see your despair when he supposedly destroys you.

Athena: Destroy me?

Lane: I didn't want to believe it either. And it's not just you he's after, he's after me as well and he's for whatever reason got Bella as a target as well.

*Bella perked up from behind the throne as her name was mentioned in a dark and ominous conversation*

Bella: Me? A target?

Athena: Why does he have Bella as a target?!

Lane: I don't know. But if your theory about her being related to us is true then i feel like Main having her as a target could fully confirm that. He knows SOMETHING about her that we don't.

Athena: Do you think we should ask her?

Lane: At this point, now that we have Main on our hands, it wouldn't hurt to be perfectly honest.

*Athena and Lane head on out of the throne room and Athena notices Bella hiding behind the Throne*

Athena: So you heard all of that...

*Bella simply nods and Athena stepped up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder*

Athena: I'm sorry you had to hear all of that..

*Bella just frowns as she looked away for a moment*

Bella: Is it really true? Am i really being targeted by someone?

Lane: I hate to break it to you but unfortunately yes. A powerful enemy that Athena created..

Bella: What...?

Athena: I'll explain it later, it's... complicated..

*Bella nods and leads the bladers to the dining room where Rangara and everyone else was waiting. After a bit, they all start to eat*

---Meanwhile---

*Main Kuromi stood on a high cliff as he stared above the evening horizon. A new bey filled the palm of his hand as he closed his fist around it, the bey giving off a gold and orange light*

Main: I am destined to be the worlds strongest blader, now that i am reborn.. nobody will stand in my way again with my overwhelming light!

*Main simply smiles as his aura began to glow to life around him, the Origin Bey in his hand glowing brighter and brighter*

Main: Athena Valhalla, prepare yourself... i'll get my revenge and when i do, i'll make you feel the exact way i did all those years ago..!!

---Later that night---

*Bella and Athena sat together in the throne room and Athena began to explain the history she has with Main*

Athena: I met Main Kuromi in America in my 2nd Second Championship, we battled in the finals and i ended up winning. However.. it was either i went too hard or he overexerted too much power in the battle, either way his bey didn't come out of the battle in one piece.. his bey was completely destroyed.

Bella: And what happened after that?

Athena: He disappeared for a while after that and i haven't seen him since. I figured he knew it was a freak accident and he ran out of the arena before i could even apologize anyway. It's clear to me now that he still hasn't forgiven me for that day, it was nothing more than an accident and i stand by that. He's after me, Lane and you for some reason.

Bella: Why is he after me?

Athena: He's not after you for the same reason as us. He sees something in you that nobody else does. On that note, that brings me to my question i've been wanting to ask you since i got here.

Bella: What is it?

Athena: I want to know who you really are.

Bella: I'm.. Bella Akazara, who else?

*Athena deadpanned and came up with a question that would surely give her answers she was looking for.*

Athena: Well... who are your parents?

Bella: I... never knew them, my mother died when i was very young and my dad died in a shootout in America.. my grandpa has taken care of me and Ikari since then.

*Bellas words rattled Athenas head as her dad had died the same way, this meant something.*

Athena: Wait your dad died in a shootout in America?

Bella: Yeah..?

*Athena sighed and just looked at her*

Athena: My dad also died from that. he was killed in a bar in New York when the people in there got in a fight and he was caught in it. Your father, or should i say: OUR father was brutally murdered that day.

Bella: What do you mean "Our" father?

Athena: It's simple Bella. Your father was also my father.

*Bella was absolutely shocked at what she was hearing*

Bella: There's no way.. how is that possible!

Athena: I know why. My father cheated on my mother with another woman which would be your mother, i never knew she had a child until recently when i saw your battle against Rangara a few days ago. I just had a feeling you were related to us somehow when i first saw your battle, your strength and battle style reminds me so much of myself and Lane.

Bella: W-What are you saying?!

Athena: You're my sister Bella, well a half-sister but still a sister nonetheless.

*Bella actually couldn't believe what she was hearing right now*

Bella: I... I'm your sister.

Athena: That's right, Bella Valhalla.

*Bella leaped forward and hugged her seemingly long-lost sister tightly, snuggling her head into the crook of Athenas neck. Nothing else mattered to Bella right now, feelings of love were racing throughout her heart. Ikari and Rangara who had heard everything stepped out from behind the throne and Ikari stepped close to them, Athena opened up her free arm and gestured for Ikari to join in the hug. Ikari falls into their arms and Athena held her long lost siblings*

Rangara: Bella.

*Bella looks back towards Rangara and he smiled*

Rangara: Heh! Even if i lose, i'll exploit Adeona's weakness for you! 

Bella: Rangara...

Rangara: Athena! I won't hold back against you, my Ragnaruk will send you flying!

*Athena lets go of the sisters and stares at Rangara with a smile*

Athena: Alright then, bring it on then.

*The 2 bladers get set up at a stadium and Athena held up her infamous bey, Sovereign Adeona!*

Rangara: So that's Adeona huh? This will be interesting for sure!

Athena: Take a good look at it, this will be over in one battle as i end it with a Burst Finish!

Bella: Predicting the battle outcome before it even starts? She's gotten a lot bolder since the last time i've seen her battle...

Rangara: My launcher is finally back to 100% so i can pull off a Power Mode Shoot again! I know Adeona has a burst stopper within its power so it can't burst it no matter how hard i try, in that case i'll go for a spin finish instead!

Referee-Bot: First Battle!!

*Rangara switches his launcher to Power Mode and his Launcher starts to power up for the discharge*

Rangara: Haha! This ought to do it!

Referee-Bot: Ready Set!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys land in the stadium and Ragnaruk took the center with incredible speed from the explosive shoot*

Rangara: Yes! The center is ours!!

*Adeona raced around the stadium at full speed as it came charging in for the blow*

Rangara: Here it comes Ragnaruk!!

Athena: Send them flying now!

*Adeona clashes with Ragnaruk and uses its rubber impact to send Ragnaruk flying into the air*

---

Bella: N-No way..! That's amazing!

Ikari: It's the rubber! Adeonas' Ring has rubber inside it for powerful blows, it's incredible!!

---

*Ragnaruk hits the wall and was sent flying higher into the air*

Rangara: We aren't done yet!

*Ragnaruk retakes the center as its vortex of winds was brewing*

Athena: Oh wow!

Rangara: Ragnaruk!!!

Rangara: High Roaring Gale!!

*Ragnaruks storm of winds roared to life but Adeona kept on pushing through the winds like it was nothing*

Rangara: W-What?!

Athena: Now Adeona, go!!

*A White inferno began to surround Adeona with a bright glow, the light was so overwhelmingly bright! It was none other than Flare..!! Bella and Rangara were in shock as Lane just smirked, knowing this battle was over. Adeona clashes with Ragnaruk and shoves in Ragnaruks stamina wings and took off around the stadium once again as it waited for Ragnaruk to lose more spin*

Rangara: W-Wha..?!

Athena: Finish it off, Adeona!!

*Adeona clashes with Ragnaruk and sent it flying into the air and it burst*

Rangara: N-No way...!

Referee-Bot: Sovereign Adeona, Burst Finish! Athena Valhalla is the winner!!

*Bella was in absolute shock at what she just witnessed! She watched Adeona race around the stadium as its white Flare was burning and swirling around it.*

Bella: So this is... the power of Adeona!
