"What are doing here?" Kyoya asked wearily. Damian didn't answer right away and instead stalked closer to him, passing Nile who was sitting up on his knees and giving him a dirty look, only here for the purpose to work the Leone blader up and it was working. Kyoya watched the American carefully, eyes wider and wild, almost as if he was predator watching prey. Kyoya noticed the way Nile gingerly held his arm, the way Damian's eyes would shift from him to Kyoya then eyeing his launcher and Leone.

"Why do care why I'm here?"

"Just tell me!" Kyoya impatiently said.

"I would say I'm here per Pluto's wishes, but no one knows I've decided to come here Just yet."

Kyoya's eyes narrowed. "So you're working for them now? I would've thought you could've done better really."

Damian's hand landed on his hip and a smirk spread on his features. "I wouldn't say I'm working for that guy. Sure he and Doji brought me out here and gave me some things to take care of, but right now I'm here on business of my own."

"And what business would that be?"

Damian gave a sly smile, Kyoya was practically on the edge of his seat waiting for him to make a move. He had to of known very well why he was here, it was obvious wasn't it? "I guess you could call this a favor to Pluto since getting rid of you would give them one less balder to worry about. Not like you are much of a problem right now to begin with."

"I recall being a pretty big problem for you back at the end of the Championships. After all you didn't take that loss very well, you sure you should be fighting me again? We wouldn't want you to freak when I beat you again."

Damian frowned immediately and his eyes narrowed, showing just how much he loathed the others cocky attitude, the way his hard gaze didn't waver the moment he caught sight of him. He hated the fact that he had that one defeat to hold over his head. Damian's teeth clenched down. "It's a shame you didn't get here before I found your friend!" He blurted out, knowing very well that the subject would rile the Leone blader up. "It's a shame too! His arm looked like it was in a good path to recovery, to bad it probably won't heal properly now! What with all the pulling I did on it, but blame me, he should've just compiled with me from the start."

Kyoya, whose glare seemed to grow even more intense, responded angrily. "Why bother bringing him into this? If you have a problem with me then you come to me!"

Damian shrugged. "I've done remarkable job of winding you up though, so I think I did pretty well with that move." Damian moved to pull out his launcher and Kerbecs. "Now you'll for sure give it your all."

Kyoya raised Leone once again. "Fine then let's take this outside."

"Let's." Damian smirked, leaving Kyoya to question why Damian had even bothered to come up here.

Both beys were immediately launched on the count of three once the boys walked outside. Leone landed not far from where Kerbecs had. Kyoya was the first to take action as Leone attacked Kerbecs, who easily dodged the strikes and glided along the ground almost carelessly. Damian watched his bey glide away from Leone's range of attack each time, at this point Kerbecs made it look so effortless. Leone dove for another attack and this time he hit his target. The sound of metal smashing into each other filled the air. Kyoya frowned at the fact that Damian hadn't even tried to counter him that time. Maybe Damian thought he was just going to get away with toying around in this battle...Kyoya's eyes narrowed at the thought.

"You're going to have to try harder than that."

"Trust me I will and you'll wish I hadn't!" Kyoya roared as Leone burst with energy to send a line of attacks to his opponent. "Harder Leone, smash him!"

"Go!" Damian called as Kerbecs met each of Leones attacks with a hit of his own. Leone held his ground well against Kerbecs strength. "Hades drive!" Damian called without warning as Leone had slowed to a stop to take a more defensive stance. Kerbecs immediately began to circle the other, a circle of red orange flames bursting up around Leone as the lion was shown to be engulfed by them.

Kyoya growled, but knew exactly what he needed to do. "Leone!" He called as the lions form had just began to blacken and chip apart. The shifted around Leone, turning and twisting around the bey as the familiar twister appeared to blow away the flames and Kerbecs. Kerbecs slide back against the ground, struggling to avoid the chucks of rock and cement crowding the battle field. Some of the said debris had been swept up into Leone's move thus causing pieces to fall around the golden bey as it was pulled closer to Leone and even more so as they move slowly died away. Kerbecs regained its ground as it easily dodged each of the falling pieces of debris.

Leone fought with an angry fury like the wild gleam in his bladers eyes. Kerbecs also displayed a great sense of power and Damian's look and belief of his superiority over the other fed not only his hate towards the other, but also Kyoya's growing anger and determined drive. Leone smashed through several chunks of rock, sending pieces to Kerbecs in attempt to get the other to slip up.

New and old cracks now split into the ground and large forms of cement cluttered the road, smaller debris dusted the ground. Kerbecs had drew back towards Damian and Leone was more centered in the middle of it all. Both waited for the other to make the next move. Kyoya watched Damian carefully as the shorter had kept a smirk on his face throughout the whole battle so far. Damian looked up from the beys before him and to Kyoya. The sky was now completely dark with a few stars twinkling through the layer of grey clouds rolling in. This made it hard for Kyoya to see exactly what his opponent was doing, but it was a familiar movement and his actions were confirmed in the Leone wielder's mind when he spoke loudly next.

"Remember this Kyoya? Hope you're ready to go back!" Damian laughed as he illuminated a golden aura as Kerbecs did. Kyoya's eyes had widened a bit as he called for Leone to get ready. The grand looking gates of Hades appeared in the air above the battle. Kyoya stared down the large gates of Hades as they swung open.

"Here kitty kitty!" Damian laughed as Kerbecs glowing red eyes shot open as the gleam of golden chains peeked from the darkness before quickly shooting out to wrap around Leone's legs, neck, and lower body. The lion struggled immensely to hold its ground, but was slowly dragged closer and closer to the gate.

"Fight harder Leone!" The bey obeyed and resisted harder, making one of the chains snap from around his back leg only to be replaced by two more. "Don't think you've won!" Kyoya growled as a light shone as Leone was pulled through, his eyes closing as a bright light flooded his vision.

He could hear Damian faintly. "You're letting yourself be taken into Hades once again? How fun!"

Kyoya opened his eyes to a familiar sight around him. Grey and purple painted in the skies, lightning flashing occasionally. Damian was above him a smug as ever. Kyoya growled, getting up from the ground quickly to spot Leone and Kerbecs. "Don't get too comfortable up there Damian. I'll knock you down just like before."

His expression darkened, "have fun trying."

Kerbecs went on to easily toss Leone around. Chains bursting out from the three headed beast to lash out at Leone. The lion roared mightily and this time he ran at Kerbecs, dodging the attacks and jumping from the chains. "You're too predictable!" Kyoya shouted as Leone lunged himself right at Kerbecs to send the two into a quick fight of clawing and biting at each other. Leone using his strength and Kerbecs trying to force the lion away with his chains.

Damian's storm eyes looked down on Kyoya with pure disdain and anger as the Legendary blader easily defected the usual tricks of Hades, his bey was fighting off Kerbecs greatly. "Try this!" A swirl of orange flames spun around Kyoya, who didn't scream as Damian had expected. Kyoya hadn't been fooled by any of this. He already knew Damians tactics, the way he fought and how he would handle this. And though the urge to burst out with a shout or two washed over him he kept his mouth shut. This wasn't anything new to him and he wouldn't give Damian the satisfaction.

"Your old tricks…" He managed to say before the flames disappeared all together, "don't hurt me! I guess you're just a one trick pony huh? All you've been throughout this fight is annoying and predictable!" Kyoya spat angrily as Leone was heard to roar again and Kerbecs was thrown to the ground. "It's useless!" Kyoya shouted as the landscape around began to fade into a bright light around them. "Not only have I broken through your special move, but now I'm going to finish you off!" The white light engulfed the scene as Hades seemingly fell apart around them.

They were now back in the city streets. Kyoya panting slightly as he was beginning to feel worn out from battle. Leone still spun before him, slower than before, but still going at a good pace. Damian was on his knees on the ground, his fists clenched tightly and his teeth biting down. His storm eyes were wide and angry and he almost looked as if he was shaking slightly in frustration. Kyoya almost smirked, thinking that he had already won. The expected breakdown of anger and disbelief did not happen though. Damian looked up from the ground, dark shadowing his features and a evil grin present. Kerbecs seemed to spin with a new burst of energy. This caused Kyoya to step back a bit in shock. Damian laughed as he stood back up. "You know, I was waiting to use this new move in Ginga, but I guess I don't have a choice!"

"How are you still-"

"You thought you had me all figured out didn't you? Well guess what I have a new truck up my sleeve!"

Kyoya's eyes had widened. Whatever he's planning can't be good…

"Have fun in the never ending Abyss that is Hades Kyoya! I'll make sure you never leave!" Damian glew a dark purple and his eyes shone red. Kerbecs also was encased in the same dark aura. "Special move! Hades Abyss!" He shouted with a laugh. The three headed spirit of Kerbecs seemed to grow bigger as the doors of Hades appeared once more, but this time under Leone.

"What-" Kyoya was blinding by the light as the doors fell open under Leone, causing the lion to roar out as he fell helpless into the dark entrance. Kyoya's eyes were shut tight as Damian spike again.

"You're coming too!"

This time he did scream as he felt like he was falling with Leone. Damains voice was loud in his ears as he struggled to open his eyes again. Leone was lying in the ground as the pitch black atmosphere surrounded them, they weren't falling, but he felt like he was. The ground was the same blackness, making it seem like there was no distinguishable ground below and this really messed with Kyoya's already swirling mind.

"Do you like it?" Damian was nowhere in sight. "It took a long time to perfect you know."

"Where are you!?" The Leone blader looked around himself quickly, his head swimming with dizziness as he searched the dark around him.

The large form of Kerbecs had appeared. Three snarling heads growled as them latched on to sink their fangs into the lion below. "Leone!" Again Kyoya heard Damians voice echo around him."No!" He roared, his head began to throb as he looked to leone. "King Lion Crushing Fang!" Leone struggled against Kerbecs as the formation of his special move began to swirl around them. Kyoya's hair whipped around his head and his eyes reflected a distressed look as he felt the end of the line drawing near. He couldn't understand what was happening to him. Kerbecs had barky shook as Leones mess of an attack had fallen short. His lack of focused thinking was clearly affecting his performance.

Kyoya felt like he was falling still, even though he knew he wasn't. The ground under him worked to cause his mind to trick him. Kyoya trembled as he hesitated to even take a step as he feared the sensation of falling would worsen. His head was beginning to hurt and cloud thoughts and his vision had began to go cross.

"You don't look so great." Damian finally revealed himself from the shadows. Kerbecs had taken advantage of Leone confused state to relentlessly attack over and over until finally the lion was sent flying back into the air. The sound of metal clanging against the ground seemed to echo as the scene seemed to play in slow motion for Kyoya. Leone had been knocked out onto the cement, rolling to a stop as it hit Kyoya's shoe.

Kyoya was breathing heavily as his aches had stopped all together as Damian move faded. His vision straightened as quickly as it had crossed. "I don't get it…" A small tremble ran down his spine, "how did you…" Kyoya felt himself fall forward as total disappearance of energy washed over his body all at once and soreness began to spread already as he is hit the cool ground under him.

"You look so pathetic." Damian taunted as he walked up to the other boy. "What did you think Kyoya? It took Jack and I ages to complete that move. I don't even know how many times." He stood over him and observed his exhausted breathing. "What a trick right?"

Kyoya glared up at him. "How did you do it?"

"I'm not going to reveal my secrets to you just yet Kyoya." Damian's glare hardened. "You should see yourself now. So pathetic" he repeated before turning away to walk off. "I've done what I wanted to. It's time I get back. Have fun down there Kyoya." Kyoya felt his eyelids fall closed was he balled his fist. Exhaustion taking over as he was left on the ground.
