Me: If asks why this chapter is so late, I had to take a day to regain all my energy. I literally was up till 2 am on new years' day watching both parts of the hobbit.

Dynamis: That was your own fault. Nerd.

Me: I take that as a compliment. Anyways, I kept mentioning in earlier chapters that Rosalina had a curse. And in this chapter, you'll get to see that curse. And we finally find out what Persephone's rose is. I hinted at where and what it is in the first story of my TSAT Bonus Stories. Check it out.

Let's get to the story! I don't own MFB. All OCs belong to their respective owners.

Chapter 51 Earth Stadium Finals

"Welcome back to the Five Element Tournament! We're just getting started with the earth stadium finals. Please welcome our four finalist for this battle! Rosalina Tendo! Ranmaru Fukami! Fortuna Hikari! And Tobio Oike!" Blader DJ called out.

Kyoya and the others watched as the four finalist entered the stadium from the bleachers. "Who do you think's going to win this battle?" Kyoya asked.

"It's a tough call. Rosalina's pretty powerful," Kiyone stated.

"True, but that Fortuna girl is pretty tough. This could go any way," Titania stated.

Kyoya looked at Ranmaru, who looked over his shoulder at the Leone blader. Let's see how much stronger you've gotten since our battle. Kyoya thought.

"Bladers, take your places. 3"

"2"

"1"

"Let it rip!" The four beys landed in the stadium.

The secret side of me, I never let you see

I keep it caged but I can't control it

So stay away from me, the beast is ugly

I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

"Lucario! Special move Bursting Aura Palm!" Ranmaru called out.

Lucario glowed light blue as it collided with Fortuna's bey. "You're bey's got plenty of power, but can it keep up with this? Fortuna! Special move Dance of Diamonds!" Fortuna called out.

Fortuna glowed with a golden color as it began moving towards Lucario at amazing speed. As it collided with the Lucario, a woman in purple and gold robes emerged from Fortuna. She raised the silver sword in her hand and blocked the glowing paw that collided with it.

"You're stronger than I thought!" Fortuna exclaimed.

"Thanks. Ready for more?" Ranmaru asked.

It's scratching on the walls, In the closet, in the halls

It comes awake and I can't control it

Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head

Why don't somebody come and save me from this, make it end

"Artemis! Attack Capricorn!" Rosalina called out.

Tobio smirked as Artemis slammed into Capricorn. "It's been a while Rose Archer. Since the Tag Team tournament in America I believe," he stated darkly, "Where's Dynamis? I thought for sure he would be battling in this round."

Rosalina flinched at the remark before continuing her attack. "Just shut up! Your battle is against me!" Rosalina yelled. Unknown to her, the rose tattoo on her neck began to glow.

"Touched a nerve didn't I?" Tobio smirked, "You know that if he doesn't find Persephone's rose soon, he'll be devoured by the darkness of Hades' curse. In fact, it's probably already too late to save him."

"I said shut up! Artemis! Special move Persephone's- AH!" Rosalina fell to her knees as the rose tattoo on her neck created a dark aura. Ranmaru and Fortuna turned to look at the two bladers.

"I see. So your curse is finally starting to take effect now. Perfect," Tobio stated.

"What's going on? How do you know about my curse!?" Rosalina yelled as she struggled to remain in control.

"Lady Chrona had me look it up. She knows that your curse is the opposite to the curse of Hades. And when it's activated, it's more destructive to the point where it'll destroy anything and everything. Now that it's been activated, both you and the golden knights will be destroyed," Tobio stated as Rosalina was taken over.

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become

The nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

"Artemis! Show this pest what true despair is! Dark move Forest's curse!" Rosalina called out, her eyes now a bright red.

Dark vines of energy emerged from Artemis and attacked Capricorn. At the same time, several vines wrapped themselves around Tobio's arms and legs. "What is this!?" Tobio yelled.

"You messed with the wrong person. I'm the shadows that hide behind the shadows. The thorns on every rose. So you better be careful. Or you might hurt you hands. Artemis! Special move Persephone's Rose!" Rosalina called out.

The purple rose petals emerged from Artemis and began to attack Capricorn. The bey and Tobio were sent flying. Rosalina smirked darkly.

"That's happens when you mess with my light half," Rosalina stated before turning to Ranmaru and Fortuna.

I, I

feel like a monster

I, I

feel like a monster

"Fight it Rosalina! You can't do this! Think about Dynamis!" Ranmaru called out.

Rosalina's eyes widened as she fought to regain control. "So it seems my light side wants to regain control. Very well. I've already done my part," Rosalina stated.

"Done my part?! What do you mean?" Ranmaru asked.

"You don't know the true story of Persephone's Rose. During the first Nemesis Crisis, King Hades kidnapped Princess Artemis and placed a curse on her. The curse forced the person to protect their friends and family. And since King Hades was her uncle, she was forced to protect him during the final battle. But it was his downfall," Rosalina stated.

My secret side I keep, hid under lock and key

It comes awake and I can't control it

Cause if I let him out, he'll tear me up, break me down

Why don't somebody come and save me from this, make it end

"Princess Artemis was close to King Zeus' right hand man, who took the curse of Hades in the place of the King. When King Hades activated Hades' curse during the final battle, Artemis protected Dynamis instead of King Hades. The two curses cancelled each other out, leading to the legendary bladers sealing him till the next Nemesis Crisis," Rosalina stated.

Red eyes turned blue as Rosalina regained control. She looked around nervously. "What happened?" She asked.

It looks like she doesn't remember anything while she was being controlled. "Your dark side kicked Tobio's butt," Ranmaru stated, pointing to the Capricorn Blader that was unconscious.

"What? Did I hurt you guys?" Rosalina asked.

"We're fine! I'll tell you more later. Right now focus on the battle. Lucario! Special move Starlight Aura Blast!" Ranmaru called out.

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become

The nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

"Artemis! Special move Rose Jubilee!" Rosalina called out.

Roses and light clashed as Artemis and Lucario collided in a barrage of attacks. "Don't let up Lucario!" Ranmaru called out.

"Send him flying Artemis!" Rosalina yelled.

"Don't you dare leave me out! Fortuna! Special move Joker's Sword!" Fortuna called out.

I, I

feel like a monster

I, I

feel like a monster

It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp

There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart

No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream

Maybe it's inside of me

Stop this monster

Fortuna collided with Artemis and Lucario, resulting in the storm created by the other two beys to grow stronger. Artemis began to glow with a dark red color as it slamed into Lucario and Fortuna.

"Artemis! Special move! Persephone's Rose!" Rosalina called out.

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become

The nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I've gotta lose control, it's something radical

I must confess that I feel like a monster

The number of roses increased as Artemis collided with the other two beys. An Explosion covered the arena with dust, leaving everyone wondering who won.

"Just give us a second ladies and gentlemen. We'll find out who won this battle after the dust is gone," Blader DJ called out.

In the waiting room, Titania and the others were in shock. "Did Rosalina's curse just come out and defeated Tobio for us?!" she asked.

"Since when did she have a curse?" Kyoya asked.

"It's part of her bloodline."

Kyoya and the others turned to see Dynamis standing there, his eyes wide with shock. "All this time. Persephone's Rose was next to me. And I didn't notice it till now. Rosalina. Our bond has awakened the curses inside of us. And yet, when they were in effect, our bond suppressed that darkness. I finally understand why now," Dynamis whispered, tears starting to fall from his eyes as he watched the screen.

I, I

feel like a monster

I, I

feel like a monster

I, I

feel like a monster

As the dust cleared in the stadium, it was revealed that Ranmaru and Fortuna were on their knees, their beys next to them. Rosalina was barely standing looking at the stadium, where it was empty.

"Ranmaru and Fortuna are out! But where is Artemis?!" Blader DJ called out.

A bey landed back in the stadium and started to spin slowly before stopping. Rosalina sighed with relief.

"It's all over! The winner of the earth stadium finals is, Rosalina!" Blader DJ called out.

Rosalina looked at her beypointer, where the points changed from 91000 to 101000. I finally did it Dynamis. Rosalina thought as she started to walk away, limping on her right leg.

In the waiting room, Dynamis rushed out of the room. "Wait Dynamis! You're in the next battle!" Titania called out.

"Just let him go."

The other looked to see Kyoya standing there, arms crossed. "He just saw Rosalina lose control. Let him help her," he stated.

Titania looked at him, then back at the screen, where Dynamis had arrived to help Rosalina. He lifted the Artemis blader's over his shoulder.

"Dynamis..." Rosalina whispered, "I'm sorry."

Dynamis looked at the girl sadly. "It's okay."

I, I

feel like a monster

Me: Bet you didn't see that coming. If you didn't get what the curse is about this chapter, I'll explain it. Persephone's Rose is a curse that Rosalina's bloodline carries due to King Hades. It force the person to protect the person's friends and family, in this case King Hades since Princess Artemis was King Hades' niece. But it became his downfall due to the bond Artemis and Dynamis' ancestor had. The two curses cancelled each other out.

So what did you think of this chapter? I'll hopefully have another one up tonight, because tomorrow school is tomorrow so I won't have enough time to update after tonight till Friday. But I'm gonna try my hardest to get it up tonight! *Hugs her Dedenne (It's a pokemon) plushie* The song in this chapter was Monster by Skillet

Dynamis: Sorry about her being slightly hyper. She's slightly insane when she has sugar.

Me: Anyways, that's it for this chapter. Till next chapter, this is Warrior signing out.
