Both Beys entered the smooth concave interior of the marble fountain right at the exact same time.

"Alright, Driger and Zerzens have both entered the arena! Oh look, Driger coming on strong…would he be a worthy match for Zerzens? As you could probably recall, Zerzens is the Bey who doesn't let ANY Bey crazy enough to get in its way to leave ALIVE!" Pierre nodded. "Who would be the first to attack?"

"…" Lei watched as Driger spun its way around the fountain, carefully measuring Zerzens away from a distance. His amber yellow eyes narrow.

***Spinning a little too strong…Zerzens is not a Bey to be crossed! If Driger should come within spinning range, Zerzens would clobber him without giving him a second chance at retaliating…oh what must I do?***

Zerzens spun on its axis, stopping a few feet away from Driger, as if contemplating its next move. Lei's eyes narrow even further.

***This is tricky…is he waiting for me to make my move? But I have to defeat him! OK then I'll strike so fast he'd have no idea what hit him!***

Lei gritted his teeth. "OK~~~!!! Driger, finish him OFF~~~!!! TIGER CLAW~~~!!!"

Driger shot towards Zerzens like a Bey on permanent nitro infusion. Llewelyn's eyebrows shot way up, and Pierre just blinked.

Driger was soon right next to Zerzens. It hit him with its special final attack, which sent Zerzens spiralling madly through the air.

"I'm not finished yet! Driger…TIGER STORM~~~!!!"

Driger glowed a faint green, and his –Holy Beast- came up, roaring for all its worth. It shot way up, showing a subliminal flash of the –Holy Beast- as it went through Zerzens, pummeling him with green light arrows all around, then surrounding him with a fast and furious twisting column of wind and flashing green and white light.

Llewelyn's eyes widened. Zerzens shot way out of the arena and landed useless at his feet, smoking and still from the beating it received from Lei's Driger.

"Zerzens stopped spinning and is out of the arena…1st point goes to Lei of the BBA TEAM~~~!!!" Pierre yells. Takao and Max cheered loudly, and Professor managed a weak smile. Tsukiyo was hugging him tight around the neck. "We WON! We WON!"

"…" Asaya watched as Lei picked up his still spinning Driger from the ground. He looks up to see her looking at him with a closed look on her face.

Lei thought that she would look happy for him, but instead, she looked…sad. Almost to the point that she was feeling…sorry for him.

***?*** Lei was confused. ***What…***

"Last one's not for keepsies," Llewelyn muttered. He picked Zerzens up from the ground, looking at it. He was quiet, then he looked over at Lei, his ice blue eyes kind.

"That was a little TOO surprising. Anyway, don't you worry, now I'm pretty sure where I should 'go'." He set Zerzens on his Shooter, a calm look on his face.

***…*** Lei bit his lip. He set Driger on his own Shooter.

"Next battle, Zerzens VS Driger! Who will emerge out victorious?! Driger's 1 point away from winning this match!" Pierre looked at each of them. "Shooting points, everyone! Alright, are you all ready?"

"Yay Lei, CLOBBER him good!" Takao cheers, grinning.

"Yeah, we're all rooting for you!" Max put in.

"…" Lei went to the shooting point and took aim. Llewelyn did as well.

"OK! 3…2…1…GO…SHOOOOOTTTTT~~~~!!!"

They let go at exactly the same time. Driger and Zerzens hit the fountain amidst flying sparks and furious spinning. Lei clenched his fist.

***I can't let him win! I have to defeat him!***

"Feeling the pressure, Lei? Don't worry, I'll make sure this ends short and sweet." Llewelyn's ice blue eyes narrowed. "Zerzens! New Moon RISE!"

Zerzens started spinning even more furiously. Takao, Max, and Professor's eyes all widened. The Bey then started emitting a mysterious black light about it, which promptly surrounded it and made Zerzens vanish in a blink of an eye.

"!" Lei's amber yellow eyes widened. "What…"

"Where should it appear, where should it be?" Llewelyn smiled languidly. "It is up for me to decide! Well, where do you want to have Driger die?"

"No…" Lei shook his head.

"This is outrageous! The Bey couldn't have simply vanished into thin air," Professor said frantically as he typed furiously away at his laptop, "but it DID!"

"…" Llewelyn bit his lip, then swipes his arm in the air. "Let's go, partner! BREAKER~~~!!!"

There was a flash of black light, then Zerzens shot towards Driger from out of nowhere. It fell like a heavy mallet upon the Driger, and it was so sudden and so powerful it made the Bey buckle underneath the pressure.

"Oh no…" Profesor gulped. "That sudden drop…it's just like Asura's Devil Cutter, but deadlier! If Driger should keep going on like this…"

"…it would LITERALLY rip itself to pieces." Max's eyes widened. "LEI! Don't PUSH it!"

Zerzens just kept doing the heavy mallet drop against Driger, again and again. Driger just kept on spinning, determined to make Zerzens' attacks weaken.

But it didn't. With one frightening crunch, Driger was thrown off the makeshift arena, landing useless and still at Lei's feet. Lei's eyes became glassy.

"Huh? Driger's out and cold on the pavement! 1st point to Llewelyn of the GUILD Team!" Pierre calls out. Tsukiyo gasped.

"Oh NO!"
