Yuto decided that he would battle first even though he had never battled before. He said that his body just somehow knew how to. Yuya and the others were still confused on how Yuto was just ripped out of Yuya's body. How did that even make sense!? Yuto decided to ask Olympia when he went up to the BeyStadium. She was the only one who didn't look confused.
"Oh, that?" She laughed. "You were merged with Yuya, so my aura dragged you out of him. It does that," She laughed.
Yuto just shook his head, probably because Olympia was not making any sense. She was probably lying. He took his stance. He still didn't understand how he knew how to do this, or how he had the instinct that Ruri was here. He didn't question it at the time because of the tense situation. Olympia said that she would act as ref. Yuto didn't trust her one bit, but he didn't object.
"Before we begin, I would like to introduce my Bey," Olympia announced, holding up a Bey that looked similar to her old Odax but had more hit points, and came with Polish and Planet. "Meet Over Olympus!"
"Nice Bey," Yuto complimented. He couldn't help it; it was glowing with a beautiful unearthly aura that left everyone awestruck. "But My Despair Dark-Rebellion will crush it!" He countered, holding up his Despair Dark-Rebellion. .
Olympia smirked. "We'll see about that."
"Ready...Set!"
"3...2...1...Go Shoot!" The opponents launched their beys in the stadium.
Yuya gasped and doubled over in pain, clutching his chest. His heart had suddenly started hurting like crazy like it was trying to resist something with all its might. He noticed Yugo did the same, while Yuri's knees bent just the tiniest bit. Rantaro and Daina rushed to help, but Valt didn't notice. Although his chest was still crying out for relief, Yuya was able to look at the battle unfolding before him.
Valt let out a "Woah…" and rushed to the stadium. Despair Dark-Rebellion had quickly taken the center while Olympus circled the middle of the stadium. Yuto was experiencing the same pain as Yuya and the others, but as he came from a war-torn city, he could handle it better than them, save Yuri. Yuri looked like he couldn't even feel it, but the thing that gave it away was a little knit in his eyebrows. But Yuto was still able to battle, which was good.
"Go, Over Olympus!" Olympia cried out, a white aura surrounding her. Yuto could see Olympus's avatar. It looked like a huge, muscular person with a cloud to form the lower part of his body holding up a mountain. Yuto could feel the energy coursing through him.
"You can do it, Despair Dark-Rebellion!" Yuto called out to his Bey. He saw Dark-Rebellion XYZ Dragon, his ace monster back at home, appear before him.
"Shell Defense!" Olympus attacked Despair Dark-Rebellion many times, but he didn't budge, even with Over Olympus's heavy weight. Olympia gritted her teeth in frustration.
By this time, everyone else had reached the stadium to watch the epic showdown.
"One more attack and it's over!" Olympia declared. Yuto gasped. Did she notice something?
"Mountain Crush!" Over Olympus hit Dark-Rebellion once more and Dark-Rebellion burst into the 3 pieces that it was made of, earning shocked looks from everybody.
"That was less interesting than anticipated," Olympia complained as Yuto fell on his hands and knees, staring at the ground in disbelief. "But really, it was your first battle. What did I even expect?"
Yuya was starting to get just a little frightened. Olympia had evolved a lot. She had gotten a whole new Bey plus a new special move, but he didn't even have a new launch! Did he still have a chance? Well, he could watch and learn Olympia's antics before his turn, which he didn't know when it was coming.
"Oh yeah, I forgot! This is what happens if you lose!" Olympia laughed as she pressed a button on the wall nearest to her. Yuto immediately started whimpering in pain.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?" Valt rushed at Olympia for hurting his friend. The Yu-Boys went to help Yuto as Rantaro and Daina did their best to restrain Valt, who was still in a rage. "I SWEAR, HURT ANY OF MY FRIENDS AND YOU DEAL WITH ME! YOU GOT IT? YOU CAN'T HURT SOMEONE OR KIDNAP SOMEONE FOR A GAME MEANT FOR FUN!"
"Valt calm down!" Rantaro and Daina tried desperately to stop Valt from causing any harm. It would be a breach of Beyblade etiquette. At least to Rantaro. Daina just didn't want to see the usually nonchalant Valt go hurting people.
Olympia ignored Valt and snapped her fingers. "Just get this over with already."
Yuto let out a bloodcurdling scream and fell silent. Yuya and Yugo frantically shook him while Yuri looked on in shock. "You..killed him?" He asked.
"No, honey. I just took his soul," Olympia explained, showing everybody the ghostly white...object, as there is no other word to call it, in her hand. "He will be fine if we just put it back in him. But I'm not going to do that right now," Olympia stated, placing it in her pocket, which caused Valt to fight against his captors even more.
Yuri trembled. "Even carding people...wasn't as inhumane as what you just did," Yuri spat in disgust.
"Was it though?" Olympia smiled sweetly. "I mean, you were reducing not just their mind, but their whole body to an object like this! You yourself have done it many times, no?"
Valt stopped fighting against Rantaro and Daina after hearing this. "You...did what?" Valt asked.
Yuri growled. "I only did so because I had no choice! The professor gave me what I was missing, and since he helped me so much it's not like I could betray him!"
Olympia laughed. "But didn't you when you brought them here?"
Everybody gasped, including Yuri. "H-how did you know about that!?"
Olympia distractedly twirled a lock of hair that had fallen out of place. After looking for an answer, she settled on "I...have my ways."
Yuya was confused. He and Yugo gently settled Yuto on the ground in a corner, and then came back. "You were the reason we all were dragged here? Yuya asked.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Valt asked, trying to follow the conversation.
Yuri sighed. "Yes, it was me. I was just toying around with some chemicals in the lab at Academia, and then I created the portal. I made it stronger because I wanted to show the professor that I was capable of more than what he thought after my previous failures in capturing Serena. But in the end, it got too powerful, and I was pulled in." Yuri looked down guiltily, which he rarely ever does, but as he was the cause of all of this, he had no choice. "I'm sorry…" He mumbled.
He felt a hand pat his head. Yuri looked up in confusion to see Yuya smiling at him. "The past is the past!" Yuya quoted who knows who with that well known saying. "At least you apologized for it!"
"Yeah, no harm done!" Yugo agreed, lightly punching Yuri in the shoulder. "We can still whop Olympia's butt!"
Yuri felt a hand pat his back. He looked over to see Daina with a small smile on his face. "Hey, we all make mistakes. But the most important thing is correcting it," Daina reassured.
"And you have our support!" Rantaro chimed in with Valt.
Yuri looked at everyone. "You guys…" He was speechless. They cared for him. They didn't hate him for what he did! He felt a warm feeling in his chest, and he quickly put a hand on his heart in confusion. "What the…"
"You're feeling love for the first time!" Yuya explained.
Love...that was ridiculous! Nobody loved him! Everyone feared his power! But the people smiling at him at the moment...
Yuri broke down. "T-thank you...you g-guys are the b-best!" He said in between sniffles. Everybody hugged him to try to calm him down.
"Aww…"
In the excitement, everyone had forgotten about the creepy lady in the corner with Yuto's soul. Yuri gritted his teeth and stepped up to the Beystadium. "You will pay for what you did to Yuto…" Yuri growled.
Olympia only laughed. "Really? Let's see if you have what it takes to challenge the great Olympia!"
Yuri whipped out his Bey. "This is Salivate Starve-Venom!" The purple/pink Attack type with the Quarter disk and the Jaggy driver gleamed even though there was practically no light. "Starve-Venom tells me that it wants to beat you so much, it's practically drooling!" Yuri trash-talked with a bit of saliva dripping from his own mouth.
"We'll see how he feels after he is given the judgment of Olympus!" Olympia countered, whipping out Over Olympus.
"Ready...Set!"
"3...2...1...Go Shoot!"
Yuya yelped in pain in unison with Yugo and Yuri. Yuya and Yugo collapsed on the floor groaning in pain while Yuri was barely standing. They were seeing through a red haze as they clutched their heads in pain. The others helped them up, and even so, supported most of their weight. It was torture, especially for Daina. Valt couldn't help because he was the smallest, so he decided to cheer for Yuri instead.
Salivate Starve-Venom went in for a Rush Shoot white Over Olympus circled the middle. Valt looked on with stars in his eyes. "Look! Yuri's doing my Rush Shoot!"
"No, duh! It's one of the most advanced Attack type launches that there is!" Yuri made Valt turn a shade of red akin to the base of Yuya's hair. "But I put my own twist on it…" Yuri hinted with an evil grin in his eyes.
Yuya was probably the only one to notice it. "Look closer...it's a left-spin Bey!" He rasped out.
"WHAT?" Everyone crammed in to get a closer look. True enough, Salivate Starve-Venom was spinning counter-clockwise.
Yuri attacked hard and relentlessly. Olympia was showing some signs of wear, but not much. It was all Yuri needed. "Go, Starve Venom!" He called out, a purple aura enveloping him. He could see his Starve Venom Fusion Dragon over his Bey.
"Venomous Nuke-Burn!" Starve-Venom crashed into Over Olympus, creating a mini-explosion. In the end, only one Bey remained standing. But it wasn't the anticipated one.
"Over Olympus wins by a Burst Finish. That's 2-0, so I win again." Olympia spoke as Yuri gathered Starve-Venom's parts with trembling hands.
"But...how?"
"You hit the wrong hitpoint," Olympia deadpanned. "Sorry, but guess that means I'll take your soul!"
As everyone watched open-mouthed. Yuri gave one last scream of agony as his soul was ripped out of him much more brutally than Yuto's soul was, and then all was silent.
A purplish cloudy sphere floated to Olympia's hands. She grinned at the last five competitors evilly. "So...who will be my next victim?
