"Excellent!" Sorath clapped, "I'll look foreword to see what kind of show you'll put on in the semifinals with whoever wins this next battle. Asher VS Damitrius!"
Asher and Damitrius walked up to the arena.
"I have to try my hardest." Asher was worried that he would lose.
"Yeah, yeah." Damitrius shrugged, "Lets get this over with."
They launched their beys. Deluge Pisces and Nocturnal Scorpio chased each other in a circle.
"So, you're that weak guy who thinks he's Jesus, huh?" Damitrius teased.
"I am simply a humble man with a vision." Asher responded gently, "I fight for world peace and joy."
"Is that so?" Damitrius smiled and laughed, "I don't know about you, but I fight for money and other sweet earthly pleasures!"
"That's no reason to kill people." The courage that was building up within Asher could be heard in his voice, "The only things that you care about are sex and drugs, and the way that you treat women is terrible! You are a plague to humanity!"
"I'll put you in your place, you little shit!" Damitrius was now raging mad, "Special Move: Tail Of Asmodeus!"
Scorpio's tail unfolded and lashed out at Pisces as the scorpion spirit appeared.
"Do your best, Pisces!" Asher's voice was full of both fear and tenacity, "Special Move: Flood Of Enki!"
Water sprayed out of the sides of the Pisces beyblade, making the stadium floor slippery and causing Pisces to move faster. The sea serpent appeared and dodged the scorpion's sting as its bey did the same.
"You expect to defeat me with that ridiculous little pool toy!?" Damitrius laughed, "There's nothing deadly about water! People drink it all the time, and they live! If anything, it heals us!"
"Exactly." Asher said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Damitrius raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"I will try my hardest to heal the world!" Asher's deep blue eyes seemed to shine with optimism, but in truth, he was on the verge of tears.
"You can try as hard as you want." Damitrius said, "But, you'll never defeat me!"
"It's true." Asher whimpered, "I probably won't. I can see it in the future. The semifinals will be fought by the Four Horsemen."
"What the Hell are you talking about!?" Damitrius was utterly confused.
"Four warriors of evil." Asher explained, "Famine, Pestilence, War, and Death. White, Black, Red, and Pale. Szandryx, Damitrius, Lucien, and Apophis."
"Whatever!" Damitrius shrugged, "Just shut up and die already!"
"No!" Asher cried, "I can't let this happen! I'll have to fight against my own prophecy! I must change the future! I must change the world! Pisces, charge at Scorpio with full force! Don't hold back! Try your hardest to forget that the concept of fear ever existed!"
Pisces smashed into Scorpio faster than anyone could react. Bits of the black bey went flying everywhere.
"No way!" Damitrius was astonished.
"I'm really sorry I have to do this." Tears ran down Asher's cheeks, "But it must be done. Pisces, this man has spent his entire life in sinful ecstasy! Now, for the first time, he will feel the sorrow that hundreds have felt at his expense! Show him pain!"
The Pisces bey jumped up and attacked Damitrius, making many cuts across his body. His bleeding corpse fell to the ground.
"He deserved it." Asher told himself.
