That took longer then I thought it would, but I was updating some other stories and sort of lost my plan on how I wanted this chapter to go. I took me a while, but I eventually remembered and tweaked it a little. Oh yeah, I've changed the name of the story to Beyblade: Metal Heroes since the votes were with that one. Some of you also sent in alternative names, and I admit they were creative but not what I was really looking for. I still thought about them though and give thanks for that.


Now for review responses:

Nightmare Princess of Darkness: Glad you liked the chapter and I'm also glad that your excited about this story. Sorry about the wait for this chapter, I'll try to update sooner next time.

GoldenAngel999: Thank god all three battles didn't turn into a three-way disaster. I thought three battles might clog up the chapter but it didn't. Phew. I'm vey glad to know that you liked all three battles and that it didn't turn into a blunder.

AKA99: "Epic!" Glad to know you thought of it that way! Yeah, there was no way I was going to throw in any dirty tricks in this battle, simply because I wanted it to be a fair hardcore battle. Now, you thought for a title "Beyblade Metal Academy," which isn't too bad but I've seen many stories with this name and it wouldn't really differentiate from the original title enough. Still a good thought though.

SwiftTheWritingMagician: Yes, the students are fighting back, but the problem is that the Mysterious Figure isn't letting them. He needs them for his creepy and malevolent "ritual." So not everyone is going to come out of this the same… or if they come out at all…

MarsTwilight: You like the storyline huh, that's a relief. I feared that the storyline would go a bit off track at one stage but not such problem so far.

Alpha Dragonis: It was a great chapter for when you came back. Oh, and you suggested the name "Beyblade Heroes Academy". This wasn't bad, but I feel that it doesn't really differ from the previous title and doesn't stand out as much as I would like. It was still a good idea though!

Now, onto the chapter, oh and I've changed the symbols of the crests since their pretty boring. The Order Crest is now an omega symbol while the Chaos Crest is a triquetra. I'l aslo be changing the image for this story soon as well. Remember, PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! BECAUSE I ONLY NEED 8 MORE TO GET TO 200!


Chapter 28: The Fear Factor

Everyone's attention was diverted to the giant screen and watched as it flashed images of the four remaining teams. The screen suddenly stopped and the match ups were decided.

"The first match of the quarter finals is between Team Nova Flare and Team King Destructors!" announced Mr. Jones. "While the second will be between Team Atlas and Team Crimson! Rest up bladers because these upcoming matches will be the hardest you've ever been in!"

Max looked around the arena and spotted Team King Destructors, minus Artemis sitting across for them on the other side of the stadium. Max frowned when he saw Jaden pretending to slit her throat. He knew Jaden was out to get him, and the rest of Team Nova Flare.

Max turned his gaze to Team Crimson, minus Unmei, sitting near the bottom of the stadium. Both had unemotional expressions on their faces.

Max's trance was broken by Simon's voice. "Let's go Max."

"Right," Max nodded as he got up and went to walk away. He kept his eyes on Team Crimson and saw two malicious smirks appeared on their faces. Max shivered.


"You sought our presence Lord Zygor," Athena said as she and Hermes entered the room and bowed.

"Yes." The Dark Figure turned in his chair to face his disciples. He wore a black suit and black gloves in which his crest would glow through when in use. Underneath his suit was a white button up shirt with a deep red tie. A dark purple cloak with a golden chain was strapped around his shoulders. The cloak also had a hood, which was propped up around Lord Zygor's face. His face had even more disguise, as he bared a black mask with white-eye holes. The mask even came down and covered his mouth.

(A/N): I've given the Dark Figure a name because I'm sick of writing "Dark Figure" over and over again. Lord Zygor isn't his real name though.

Zygor looked down at Athena and Hermes. "I need you to bring in Luke."

"Luke?" questioned Hermes puzzled.

"You question my orders?" scowled Zygor.

"No," choked Hermes. "Of course not."

"We were just curious," defended Athena.

Zygor starred at his disciples before speaking again. "I need to test the power of chaos on an average human. Luke is going to be my guinea pig."

"If I may ask?" interrupted Hermes yet again. "What do you wish to accomplish by doing this?"

Zygor chuckled. "As you already know, gaining a crest of Chaos or Order takes special training in order to sustain it as you both have done. Otherwise, you must have abnormal power, which automatically sustains the crest's powers. Once the Dark Lord is awakened and the Purge is complete, there won't be any time to train others to join our forces and master the power of the crest. Therefore, we need an alternative way of giving mere people crests without anything else. Luke will be our test on that."

"Aren't there possible risks?" asked Athena.

"Of course there are," answered Zygor. "That's exactly why were testing this on someone we can easily dispose of and isn't needed. His next battle will be soon; therefore it is extra important that we try this now to see how long he can control it for. Or if he can control it at all."

"As you wish Lord Zygor," answered Hermes and Athena simultaneously. They stood up and exited the room. At the same time, Zygor removed his mask and reached for his glass of wine. He sipped it before looking at the chessboard set up at his table.

"Hello Zygor," chuckled a malicious voice as the black shadow appeared in the room.

"My Master." Zygor bowed his head in respect.

"Are the pieces coming together?"

"Of course," replied Zygor as he took another sip of his wine.

"And the boy?"

"Has been dealt with," finished Zygor. "We have planted the seed of destruction in his power. He is no threat."

"What about the experiment?"

"About to begin," explained Zygor as he moved a black castle on the chessboard. "But the test of the powers of the kids we have subjected to the darkness will begin now with the semifinals."

"Yes, Those puny kids are all just sacrifices for me. Keep up the good work Zigor. The time of my resurrection is nearing…"

The shadow vanished from the room and Zygor put his mask back on. He then moved one of his pawn pieces over to a white pawn and chuckled. "The countdown to checkmate has begun, Prince of Fire."


Max took a seat next to Tyler's bed. He was sleeping at the moment along with the other students that had been struck by a dark move. As with Frieda, the black dots had begun to spread through their bodies. Frieda was the worse because her skin was covered in them.

Simon had walked over to the main desk where he was typing away on the computer's keyboard to analysis the patient's health at this point. Blaze and Kiara has taken a seat at Aiya's bed. The room was silent. Things were getting tense. And the semifinals meant that the chances of someone else getting attacked were high.

Max broke the silence. "This tournament is getting riskier with each battle."

Simon sighed as he turned away from the computer and leaned on the desk. "Doesn't help that two of the teams are power crazed."

"Team King Destructors are up against us," commented Blaze. "We should beat them."

"It's not us I'm worried about." Max bit his lip. "I'm worried about Team Atlas. They're going up against Team Crimson and I don't like the way their powers are developing. So far, no one has stood even a chance against them, which is why I'm not to sure Team Atlas can handle them."

"One problem at a time," interrupted Kiara. "We need to make sure King Destructors doesn't get the drop on us. Especially Artemis, she's the biggest threat here with her dark power and all."

"But Luke and Jaden are tough as well," Max added. "And they don't go down easy. They may have no honor but they have ruthlessness, which can sometimes be a dangerous weapon."

"If we have to face Artemis I think Max would be the best choice," pointed out Simon. "He does have that mystical order crest and it appears to give majestic powers as such. His own powers should allow him a fair fight with Artemis."

Max gazed down at the omega symbol carved into his hand. Even thought he wasn't using its power, he was sure he could feel the strange and mystical energy pulsing through his veins at that very moment. If felt more like a curse then a gift.

"But what about Team Atlas," answered Max, still concerned. "Their battle is coming up soon and I'm questioning their safety here. For all we know they could end up like everyone else in these beds."

The room fell silent. Kiara stood up and walked over to Max. She placed her hand on his shoulder. "They're going to be okay Max. We'll get through this together as a team. Am I right?"

Kiara turned to face Simon and Blaze. They both smiled. "Right."

"So come on Max," encouraged Kiara. "Don't let this get your spirit down. Because we're going to win this thing."

Max looked up to his teammates. "Let's do this."


"We have brought him Lord Zygor," said Hermes as he and Athena entered the arena with Luke slightly behind them.

"Good." Zygor turned to face them and Hermes and Athena bowed before hitting Luke so he would do it as well.

"Luke," chuckled Zygor. "My dear boy. How have you been?"

Luke snorted. "Fine."

"Good," answered Zygor. "Excellent in fact. You see, because I value you as one of my best pupils, I'm promoting you."

Luke actually started paying attention and Hermes and Athena had to stop themselves from giggling. Even though Zygor was wearing his mask, the twin disciples could feel him giving them a death stare.

"Promotion?" questioned Luke.

"Yes." If Zygor weren't wearing a mask he would be shown smirking. He signaled for Luke to stand before putting his arm around him and bringing him over to his desk. "You see, with us, our status is shown by having one of these."

Zygor held out his hand and a purple chaos triquetra crest glowed from underneath his glove. Luke starred into it and became hypnotized by its power.

"Do you see it?" asked Zygor. "Do you see the power of chaos?"

"I see it," gasped Luke as he continued to be hypnotized by the crest's power.

"You could have this power as well," Zygor claimed as his crest's power faded. Luke immediately came back to his senses.

"What do I have to do?" asked Luke. "Because I want that power."

"What would you do with it?" asked Zygor.

"I would use it to crush those who would stand in your way!" Luke declared.

"Good," chuckled Zygor. "Very good. All you need to do is hold out your hand."

"Like this?" said Luke as he held out his arm.

"Perfect." Zygor quickly stretched out his hand and took hold of Luke's wrist. His crest began to glow again and the room's walls and roof suddenly vanished along with Athena and Hermes. Luke gasped as the floor changed to a black stone one with a triquetra crest lying in the center of it glowing. Their surroundings were then transformed into a purple and black energy like void. Luke was speechless.

"O' will of chaos hear my plead!" chanted Zygor. "Grant my disciple the power, that he would need! In brightest day, in blackest night, dark magic of chaos unleash your might!"

The triquetra underneath them reacted to Zygor's chant and glowed brighter. Suddenly, the dark purple energy flowed from Zygor's crest and around them before falling into the symbol on the floor. The wind around them picked up as golden energy then flowed from the symbol and began to burn itself into Luke's hand.

"Ahhhh!" screamed Luke in pain as the energy forced itself into his hand.

"Hush now," Zygor's voice grew grim. "Do you not want the power?"

"I do!" winced Luke as the energy continued to do its work.

"Then let the ritual do what it must!" barked Zygor.

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" screamed Luke in terror until the energy stopped flowing. The surroundings changed back to the way they were before and Zygor let go of Luke's hand.

Clutching his burning hand, Luke fell to his knees. He was in tears at this point in time.

"Get up!" spat Zygor as he walked back to his chair and sat down. "The next match for your team begins tomorrow."

Luke slowly looked at his hand and saw a golden glowing triquetra on it. He looked at it maleficently before standing up and giving a twisted grin. He held his hand up and his crest glowed brighter. "Those scum have no idea what they've gotten into."

Luke's eyes glowed gold and he surrounded himself with golden aura and began laughing devilishly to himself.


Max swore as he made his way down a hall. He was lost. Lost in the school. He was never going to hear the end of this from Blaze.

"I knew I should have downloaded that GPS app onto my phone," he cursed. "If only Mum warned me that I had no good sense of direction."

Max stopped when he realized the hall he was walking in wasn't a school one. The wales were made of white stone while the floor was composed of black marble. Torches lined the walls and illuminated the hall.

"I could have sworn I was just in a school hall," commented Max as he turned around to see the way he had came. The hall seemed to go on forever however.

He looked forward again and noticed his crest glowing. "Must be another vision."

He walked down the hall a bit further until he came to a wooden door. It was open partly and he could hear someone crying lightly.

He reached for the handle when he noticed a sign on the door. It wasn't written in his language and it didn't look familiar.

"Maybe I shouldn't go in," said Max to himself as he brought his hand back. "For all I know this sign says danger of enter and die."

His crest began to glow brighter and the words on the door glowed red before rearranging and changing shape. They now read 'Princess Eninl.'

"Princess," muttered Max as he reached for the handle again and pushed the door open slightly. He poked his head in and quickly realized that he was in a glorious chamber. The walls were white and the floor black like the hall. But the room had a golden coloured roof. At the far end of the room was a big bed with purple and red pillows and sheets. On the next wall was a large wooden closet while the opposite wall had a large mirror. The final wall had a desk area with books and maps. Lying on the bed wearing purple and golden robes was a girl crying. She was about Max's age and was upset about something.

"Where have I seen her before?" asked Max to himself when someone suddenly walked through him. This was a tall thin man wearing silver armour with a red cape. He had a sword strapped to his waist and held a silver helmet in his hand. The man himself had short yellow hair and matching yellow eyes.

"What is wrong Princess Eninl?" asked the Knight as he placed his helmet down on a wooden desk. "What troubles you?"

The Princess looked up and revealed her face, shocking Max.

Numerous things were racing through Max's mind. 'That's the girl that looked just like Ninel when I had a previous vision.'

"But what is happening exactly?" Max was ready to get a headache from all this weird stuff happening but decided to pay attention to this vision and perhaps figure out why the Princess Eninl looked like Ninel so much.

"Oh Manchester," sobbed the Princess. "I just can't take it anymore. With my Brother going day after into the war and leading the army, it's only a matter of time until he falls. I couldn't bare to lose my brother."

The Princess then buried her face into the pillows and began to cry again.

"Brother?" muttered Max. He felt like he was in a history lesson.

The Knight, Manchester stepped forward and sat on the bed next to Eninl. He placed a hand around her and brought her to his chest.

"Don't you worry about your brother," said Manchester in a soothing voice. "You know he has to do this. For the sake of our kingdom. Don't forget that his trustful army would fall, before he himself did. We would proudly give our lives so he could live."

Princess Eninl looked up at Manchester, tears still in her eyes. Manchester wiped them away for her and she smiled.

"Thank you Manchester," she said. "You've always been my best friend." She then wrapped her arms around the Knight and they hugged.

"Aw," commented Max, nearly in tears himself. "But why the heck am I seeing this. I feel like I've been sent back to the middle ages or something."

The crest on his hand began to glow, and the floor underneath Max broke away and he fell into the dark abyss, screaming.


"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Max continued to scream even when he woke up and fell out of bed, knocking some sense into him. His alarm clock was beeping in the background.

Max sighed on the floor. "That's the longest vision I've had so far. But what the heck does that even mean?"

Max stood up and walked over to his closet. As he began changing he was going over the vision in his mind. 'Why did that Princess Eninl look so much like Ninel? It's almost like their twins or something. Creepy.'

Max made his way over to his bedside table and picked up Flame Swordsman. "Ready to go buddy?"

A ray of light shined in through the window reflecting off the bey, making it shimmer.

"Atta boy," cheered Max.


As Team Nova Flare made their way down to the stadium for their match against King Destructors, Max explained to his teammates his latest vision.

"She looks exactly like Ninel?" Simon asked yet again.

"Yep," confirmed Max. "A dead ringer."

"And she was a princess?" questioned Kiara.

"Yep," answered Max. "The Knight called her that and the sign said that as well."

"And her brother lead an army and was basically the King?" added Blaze.

"Yep," replied Max. "It sounds crazy but it was like a memory of some sort. What I can't understand is why I'm having them. For some reason I think it has something to do with the voice I'm hearing and my crest."

"We'll have to figure it out later," interrupted Simon as they made their way into the stadium. "And possibly discover some connection to all this dark stuff happening."

The team made their way into the main part of the stadium, as did Team King Destructors on the opposite side. Jaden and Luke were in front, followed closely by Artemis whose hair hung over his face.

"All right bladers!" announced Mr. Jones. "Time for the semifinals to begin! Unlike previous battles, teams will determine who they wish to put out first and the other team will respond with their own blader! First to pick a blader will be Team Nova Flare!"

The bladers huddled up and began to talk.

"Who goes first?" asked Max. "I'll be the one taking on Artemis."

"Jaden's mine," commented Kiara.

Simon and Blaze looked at each other.

"You sat out last time," said Simon. "So I'll let you go in."

"Thanks," replied Blaze as they broke the huddle and Blaze went over to the bey arena.

"So Blaze is up first for Nova Flare!" announced Jones. "Who will face her for King Destructors?"

King Destructors didn't even talk about it. Luke simply stepped up with a sinister smirk plastered across his face.

"Looks like it'll be Blaze Markura VS Luke Portadonnez!" cried Jones.

"No!" interrupted Luke.

"Huh?" questioned Jones.

"I wish to fight two of them!" claimed Luke. "So I can crush them so much quicker."

Jones paused for a moment. "Okay. Will another blader from Nova Flare step up to face Luke in a tag team with Blaze."

"Looks like we're in this together," said Simon as he walked next to Blaze at the arena.

Blaze sighed. "Fine. This shouldn't take too long now that it's two against one."

"Prepare to watch as your worst fears come to life before your eyes," scowled Luke, as his right eye seemed to go weird and glowed yellow. "Because unlike with a nightmare, you never wake up and you will scream until you can't scream anymore!"

Simon and Blaze took a step back as the felt a queasy feeling. At the same time, Max felt a strange vibe coming from Luke.

"Be carefully you two!" called out Max to his teammates. Simon turned around and gave him a thumbs up in response.

"Prepare your beys!" announced Jones.

Simon and Blaze attached their beys while Luke did the same with his. Luke's eyes were glaring evilly at Simon and Blaze without blinking as he did so.

"Three!" cried Simon.

"Two!" added Blaze.

"One!" barked Luke.

"Let It Rip!"

Gryphos, Phoenix and Jupiter shot from their respective bladers launchers and smashed into each other before falling into the arena and began spinning.

"Let's do this Blaze!" shouted Simon as he and Blaze's bey stayed in close formation while Jupiter simply stayed in the center.

"Got it!" responded Blaze.

"Go play your childish games!" spat Luke.

"I don't see you doing much!" barked Blaze in response.

"Oh you'll see!" snorted Luke.

"Let's hit him now while he's playing around!" suggested Simon.

"I read you loud and clear!" Blaze cried as she pointed at Jupiter. "Get 'em Phoenix!"

Phoenix shot forward and circled Jupiter before smacking into it and landing a heavy blow. Luke made no move to strike back however.

Blaze looked at Simon and he shrugged. "If he's not going to attack or defend, then it's his problem! Go Gryphos!"

Gryphos sped forward and landed a couple of blows on Jupiter before backing away. Still Luke refused to make a move.

"Hello!" called out Blaze to Luke. "Anyone home! You're in a bey battle! If we're going to crush you can we at least make sure you know you're getting crushed?"

Luke's hand twitched creepily. He looked up with a crook grin on his face. He stretched out his arm and chuckled. "It's time!"

"Time for what?" asked Simon.

"CHAOS!" roared Luke as he held his hand up and his golden chaos crest glowed.

"A crest of chaos!" gasped Max.

"O' will of chaos hear my plead!" chanted Luke. "Grant me the power, that I would need! In brightest day, in blackest night, dark power of chaos unleash your might!"

The arena glowed and a golden chaos crest appeared on it.

"What the heck?" cursed Blaze.

"This is just like when I fought Hermes and Athena!" gasped Max.


Suddenly, two triquetra symbols appeared on the wall, one pink, and one blue. Max watched as the symbols got brighter, and brighter, until they swallowed him up.


"Who are you people?" asked Max. "Where am I? How did I get here?"

"Don't be rude Max," replied Athena. "After all, we have invited you here."

"I don't remember getting an invitation," spat Max coldly.

"It was compulsory," snickered Hermes. "So you didn't t get a choice in the matter."

"Well I'm here," said Max. "And I want to leave now. So, how do I get out of here?"

"You can't just leave," replied Athena. "It doesn't work that way."

"You have to defeat us," finished Hermes.

"Oh terrific," cursed Max.


"If you lose this match!" added Hermes as he attached a blue bey to his launcher. "We get your soul! Along with all your beys power and your own!"

"This sounds an awful lot like Yu-Gi-Oh," joked Max. "So, if I lose you take my soul. And then do you banish my mind to the shadow realm or to the netherworld?"

"Oh this is no joke," spat Athena. "You will lose your soul. And unlike how they do it in the cartoons, it is a very slow and extremely painful process."

"And we will enjoin every second of it," hissed Hermes.

"Then I won't lose!" replied Max. "Let's do this!"


"You have to stop this match!" interrupted Max as he ran towards the arena.

"Wrong Smith!" barked Luke as a golden sphere appeared around the arena blocking Max.

"What the heck?" cursed Max.

"Once a battle like this begins!" explained Luke. "It can only end with someone winning and someone losing!"

"Say what," commented Simon confused.

"And then I get your souls and your beys power!" laughed Luke.

"No!" roared Max as be punched the golden dome, which shocked him and sent him flying back.

"Max!" cried Kiara as she rushed to her teammate's aid.

"Not everyone get's out of this alive!" mocked Luke wickedly.

"So we won't lose then!" declared Blaze.

Luke snorted. "I highly doubt that!"

Simon rebuffed, "What makes you so sure?"

Luke smirks malevolently. "Because I have the dark power of chaos at my side! What do you have! Jack! Zilch! Squat! You have nothing to beat me with!"

Kiara angrily cries, "You monster!"

Max straight after, adds, "Let them go!"

"What?" questioned Blaze.

"Your quarrel is with me!" Max pointed at himself. "Leave them out of this!"

"Oh please," hissed Luke. "Why should I? What better way to get my revenge then by torturing your precious friends!"

"What kid of creep is this?" asked Simon.

"One that's going to win!" shot back Luke.

"You bastard!" cursed Max.

"Oh I'm so scared!" Luke spat sarcastically. "What are you going to do when you can't even pass my chaos dome?" Luke gestured at the translucent golden dome surrounding the arena.

Max growled. "I'll find a way in!"

Luke just laughed. "I'd like to see you try! Oh wait, I already did! And you landed on your ass!"

"It's okay Max," interrupted Simon. "We can beat him."

"But he has a chaos crest," warned Max. "I don't known if you can beat him with that kind of power on his side."

"You give us too little credit," said Blaze. "We've got this, no worries."

"Trust us to win," suggested Simon.

"Okay." Max smiled. "Now whip his ass!"

"Let the first round of terror begin!" spat Luke. "Jupiter!"

Jupiter moved away from its position in the middle of the stadium and began to circle the outside. It glowed gold as it built up power.

"Don't even think about it!" interrupted Simon. "Gryphos! Burst Blast!"

Gryphos was suddenly alight with flames and sped towards Jupiter and crashed into it. The opposing bey however, appeared unaffected by the attack.

Luke snickered. "Strike back Jupiter!"

Jupiter shot forward towards Gryphos and landed a hard blow, throwing it back.

"What?" cursed Simon.

"Let me at him!" interrupted Blaze. "Attack Phoenix!"

Phoenix shot forward and clashed with Jupiter, who easily fought off the bey and knocked it back.

Blaze growled while Luke chuckled.

"Again Gryphos!" called out Simon. "Burst Blast!"

Gryphos set itself ablaze once again before charging towards Jupiter.

"Special move!" interrupted Luke. "Jupiter's Shield!"

A blue mist suddenly appeared from Jupiter, hiding it from view.

"Come and get me," mocked Luke.

"Be careful what you wish for!" warned Simon. "Hit him Gryphos!"

Gryphos, still alight with flames rushed into the mist and was knocked back out.

Simon cursed under his breath.

"Jupiter is on a whole other level then your pathetic beys," hissed Luke.

"Oh shut up!" cursed Blaze. "Phoenix! Flame Tornado!"

A swirling mass of flames began spiraling around Phoenix before shooting up and creating a tornado composed of flames. It then began swirling towards the blue mist and ripped through it. But Jupiter rushed out and avoided the disaster.

"How did he...?" questioned Blaze.

Luke held up his hand and his crest glowed, reacting with his bey.

"His using his crest to enhance his beys capabilities!" gasped Max.

Luke's eyes glowed gold. "Time for round two! Jupiter! Destruction Bringer!"

Jupiter charged and began to rapidly strike Gryphos and Phoenix in a flash, smacking them all around the arena.

"Fight back Gryphos!" cried Simon as he threw his hand out.

"You too Phoenix!" added Blaze.

The two beys ran into Jupiter, and slowly but steadily began pushing it back.

"You really think that will work?" hissed Luke.

"Isn't it?" rebuffed Simon as Phoenix and Gryphos continued to push the black bey back.

"Oh please!" Luke rolled his eyes before pointing at his bey. "Jupiter!"

Jupiter glowed gold before pushing back against the two opposing beys and knocking them back.

"Seriously?" cursed Kiara.

"Unfortunately," added Max.

"Try this one on for size!" roared Simon. "Soar Gryphos!"

Gryphos swerved over to the edge of the arena and shot up into the air, nearing the top of the golden dome. It then shot down while setting itself ablaze.

"Go!" shouted Simon as he pointed up at his bey. "Wingtip Scorcher!"

Ad Gryphos shot down towards Jupiter like a raging bullet, a dragon/griffin hybrid appeared and crashed into Jupiter.

There was a mighty explosion and Simon was smiling proudly until Luke laughed.

"You fool!" mocked Luke. "You think a weak attack like that would affect me or Jupiter?"

Right on queue, Jupiter appeared from the explosion and was still spinning at full power.

"What the hell!" argued Blaze.

"This isn't developing good," commented Max, uneasy.

"Yeah," replied Kiara. "Nothing's working for them!"

"One more time Gryphos!" called out Simon. "He can't spin forever!"

"Can't he?" rebuffed Luke.

Simon ignored him however. "Fly again Gryphos!" The dragon/griffin hybrid flew to the top of the dome, so did Gryphos and it set itself ablaze once more.

"Go! Gryphos!" Simon roared. "Special Move! Skydiving Blaze Strike!"

Gryphos shot down even faster this time and smashed into Jupiter, toppling it and sending sparks flying.

"Now Blaze!" signaled Simon.

"Phoenix!" exclaimed Blaze. "Quick Attack!"

Phoenix shot away from the edge of the arena and smashed into Jupiter, knocking it over to the other side of the arena while Gryphos landed safely.

"Now attack again to make sure he doesn't get his balance back!" ordered Simon as Gryphos sped towards Jupiter and sent a mirage of attacks at it.

"You're turn Phoenix!" cheered Blaze as she pointed at Jupiter and her bey complied, running straight into it and knocking it back to the edge of the arena.

"Time to heat things up Phoenix!" commanded Blaze. "Flame Tornado!"

Once again, a swirling mass of flames appeared around Phoenix before rushing over to Jupiter and swallowing it up.

At the same time, Phoenix rushed into the tornado and began using a barrage style attack to inflict even more damage to Jupiter as the flames burnt it.

"Let me give you a hand!" cried Simon as Gryphos soared back into the sky and was set alight with flames. "Dive down and give Phoenix a hand! Wingtip Scorcher!"

Gryphos shot down into the tornado and smashed into Jupiter, plunging it into the bottom of the arena with a mighty crunch, also causing the tornado to fall apart and disappear.

"Did we win?" asked Blaze as she puffed.

"I think so," answered Simon.

But Luke was no wear near finished. "Time for round three!"

"Oh come on!" cursed Simon.

"Jupiter!" roared Luke. "Special move! God of Destruction!"

A golden armoured man appeared from Jupiter and began to spin around the arena, leaving behind a trail of shadows.

"Not this move!" panicked Max.

"We need to stop him!" commented Simon.

"Yeah!" replied Blaze. "Phoenix!"

"You too Gryphos!" added Simon as their beys shot towards Jupiter and the Golden Man.

"I don't think so!" spat Luke as he held up his hand and his crest glowed. "CHAOS MOVE!"

"Chaos Move!" gasped Max and Kiara simultaneously.

"CHAOS SHIELD!" continued Luke as a golden shielded, shaped similar in shape to a chaos crest appeared in front of Jupiter and the Golden Man, deflecting Phoenix and Gryphos before knocking them back.

"Do you see now that the power of chaos is unmatched!" hissed Luke as his eyes went completely gold and his veins began to pop out of his arms, neck and face.

By now, the Golden Man had completely turned the entire arena into one of shadows, hiding Jupiter.

"Now your fears will become life!" laughed Luke as he threw his hands into the air and Simon and Blaze screamed in pain. They clutched their heads and fell to their knees, writhing in pain.

"NO!" boomed Max angrily as he was surrounded by red energy that exploded from him and clashed with the golden dome.

Max's eyes glowed red and his crest appeared on his chest. "LET THEM GO LUKE! OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL HUNT YOU TO THE END'S OF THE EARTH!"

"Bring it bitch!" mocked Luke as his hands charged with golden energy. "Because your friends are doomed! CHAOS MOVE! JUPITER! RING OF DESTRUCTION!"

Luke threw the golden energy in his hands at Jupiter, removing the darkness from the arena and charging it with chaos energy.

A golden energy stream erupted from Jupiter and shot into the air, creating a golden sphere with a ring around it, similar to the planet Jupiter.

"Let the final round of terror begin!" roared Luke as the planet turned on its side and its ring began to spin around like a saw blade.

"NOOOOOO!" screamed Max in horror as it neared Simon and Blaze and their beys. "PLEASE GET UP!"

Max's crest on his hand glowed extremely bright and bypassed the golden dome and entered Simon and Blaze's minds. Suddenly, the two were freed from Luke's torturing and were glowing with red energy.

"Oh right Max!" cheered Kiara. "Your crest is protecting them!"

"It's too little too late!" mocked Luke as Jupiter's ring blade came even closer to the duo.

"Time for a combo attack!" suggested Simon.

"You got it!" answered Blaze. "Phoenix! Immortal Flame!"

A shining red light shot into the sky before exploding and raining down on Planet Jupiter, causing it to crack apart.

"Descend! Special Move!" roared Simon. "Inferno Destruction Ultimatum!"

Gryphos exploded into flames and shot forward into the Jupiter planet, breaking it apart and creating an explosion, that sent Jupiter flying and landing while wobbling greatly.

"NO!" screamed Luke. "I WON'T BE DEFEATED!"

"It looks that way," shot back Blaze.

"I WON'T LOSE!" roared Luke as golden chaos energy began to pour from his mouth and eyes. "CHAOS MOVE! SELF DESTRUCT!"

Jupiter began to glow gold and then electricity crackled through it.

"THE END HAS COME!" spat Luke, as his veins got bigger and turned black.

The golden dome surrounding the arena began to expand and zap objects with electricity. The kids in the stadium screamed while Max took hold of Kiara and a red shield of order energy appeared around them, protecting them.

"What are you doing?" asked Simon to the now power crazed Luke.

"I'M GOING TO MAKE JUPITER SELF DESTRCUCT!" barked Luke as his body twitched from the overload of power. "AND IT'S TAKING EVERYONE WITH HIM!"

"We have to stop him before he kills everyone!" panicked Simon as Jupiter's energy began blasting holes in the stadium.

"We need to combine our attacks together!" suggested Blaze.

Simon nodded. "Let's finish this Gryphos!"

"Soar up Phoenix!" added Blaze as she and Simon's beys shot up into the air.

"Combination Move!" shouted the duo simultaneously.

"Descend Special Move! Turbo Inferno Destruction Ultimatum!" exclaimed Simon as Gryphos exploded into flames and shot towards Jupiter from the top of the stadium like a meteor.

"Special Move!" continued Blaze. "Flame Tornado!"

At the same time, Phoenix moved so that it was on top of Gryphos, and the flames around it turned into a tornado, powering up the combo attack even more.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" shouted the duo as their beys smashed through the chaos energy being released by Jupiter. They eventually broke through and struck Jupiter, creating an enormous explosion.

When there was only dust left, Max recalled his shield and ran to the arena. "Simon! Blaze!"

Lying on the ground injured, were Simon and Blaze. On the other side was Luke, lying on his back bleeding and with his crest no longer glowing. Smashed into the bottom of the arena was a cracked Jupiter. Meanwhile, Gryphos and Phoenix spun slowly before coming to a stop.

"Simon and Blaze win!" announced Jones, with the crowd bursting into applause that the duo had saved them from Luke's wrath.

Some nurses appeared with stretches and took the three bladers away. As Luke was taken away, Max watched as his chaos crest glowed gold faintly once more before vanishing from his hand.


To be continued: Whew, that was intense, I hope. Because that was what I was going for. I hope this chapter satisfied you because writing it did for me.

Also with the vision, I don't know if some of you realized, but the name Princess 'Eninl' is an anagram for Ninel.

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter and are psyched for the next, which will feature Jaden clashing with Kiara. And as you know, PLEASE REVIEW!
