In the middle of Tyler's community there was a stadium in a grassy field. The stadium had a canopy roof to protect it from the rain and snow. This is where Shu Kurenai famously got his lingering shoulder injury when Valt's little sister collided with his shoulder during his launch. Tyler arrived here early in the morning, waiting for Hendricks to meet him here. Sure enough, Hendricks slipped into the scene, wearing his trademark toothy smile. Tyler took a deep breath before looking his opponent straight in the eye.
"You made it. I thought you wouldn't show up! You're a man of your word after all!" Hendricks spoke with his hoarse voice.
"Hey, I show up when I'm called upon. Besides, I wouldn't deny a battle request!" Tyler kept his cool, smirking at his mysterious opponent. Hendricks laughed quietly to himself.
"Well then… that's good! Now let me see your bey!" Hendricks commanded. Tyler proudly took out Talthea and showed it to his opponent.
"Crimson Talthea will be your opponent! Take a good look!" Tyler spoke with confidence and swagger as Talthea gave off a beautiful scarlet shine. Hendricks squealed with glee.
"Ooooh it looks even better in person! It will be a wonderful addition to my collection!" Hendricks unzipped his jacket, revealing his collection of energy layers from beys he had previously defeated. Tyler gasped in complete shock as he looked at each and every energy layer Hendricks had collected, each of them bearing a nasty black crack that split the layers into three pieces. Suddenly Tyler was having second thoughts about battling Hendricks. The fear in his eyes was visible, and Hendricks knew it.
"Awwww… are you scared? I can see it in your eyes! I can smell your fear from here!" Hendricks taunted his opponent. This sent Tyler right over the edge.
"W-What?! Hell no, I'm not scared of anyone! Come at me, you deranged nut!" Tyler shouted as he attached Talthea to his launcher. He had to take deep breaths as Hendricks pulled out a thin silver launcher with a handle resembling the blade of a scythe. THen he attached Hagenti to his launcher.
"Very well! Let's go, Tyler!" Hendricks called out.
"Three!" Tyler squatted down with his right leg behind him and his right arm extended outwards. Hendricks held his scythe launcher vertically, like an actual scythe.
"Two!" Tyler moved his right hand to the string handle on his launcher. Hendricks threw the scythe launcher in the air.
"One!" Tyler turned his upper body slightly to his right as he held his launcher at a tilted angle. Hendricks leapt upwards to catch his launcher.
"LET IT RIP!" Tyler and Hendricks launched with all their power. Bolts of red lightning shot out from Tyler's launcher, and scythe-shaped bolts of black lightning emerged from Hendricks's launcher. Hagenti and Talthea landed in the stadium and both beys began rushing the center, smashing into each other at high speeds. With each and every strike, Talthea was shoved downwards at a lower and lower angle.
"Keep your balance, partner! Don't let them tilt you!" Tyler shouted to his bey, but Talthea's blades struck Hagenti from a low angle. The eight hammer blades on Hagenti's thunder point rose before slamming down, sending Talthea tilting towards the ground, where it scraped against the stadium floor and lost spin.
"OH NO! GET OUT OF THERE, TALTHEA!" Tyler desperately shouted out, but by then it was much too late. Hagenti was hammering away at Talthea, striking with powerful, yet viciously precise blows that tilted Talthea again and again, all while Hendricks cackled to himself.
"How do you feel, having been trapped by Hagenti's sheer power? Do you feel lost? Hopeless, even?" Hendricks spoke with a mocking smile as he stared right into Tyler's crimson eyes.
"I'll never give in to you, creep. No matter how strong you are, I will be stronger!" Tyler angrily shouted as Talthea leaned onto the rubber ring of the Flash driver to escape Hagenti's barrage. Hendricks cackled as Hagenti gave chase.
"You can't run away! I wasn't done playing with you yet!" Hendricks's indigo resonance flared up around him as the ends of his hair turned pink. Hagenti's dark indigo resonance shot up as the purple octopus avatar emerged, wearing a black pirate's hat with a gold brim, along with a golden mask over its purple eyes. The octopus had big silver hammers on the ends of its eight tentacles. Hagenti gave off a hideous purple glow as it raced towards Talthea.
"Look out, partner!" Tyler cried out to his bey, but he was too late. Hendricks cackled as he raised his fist to the sky.
"Silence them! GRIEF HAMMER!" Hendricks then swung his fist like a sledgehammer. Hagenti crashed into Talthea, raising its eight hammers before viciously slamming them down, causing Talthea to crash into the stadium floor, where it scraped hard and lost all its spin. Tyler picked up his bey and took a deep breath.
"Goddamnit… he's powerful…" Tyler sighed to his bey.
"Very much so! And evil, too!" Talthea replied as he brought Tyler into his crimson realm.
"Do you see what lies before us? It's a powerful force of malevolence. We must crush it with all our strength! You know you can't afford to hold back, especially in a battle like this!" Talthea urged Tyler to not hold back. Tyler nodded in understanding.
"Yeah… let's give it our best and crush this guy!" Tyler vowed as he returned to reality, facing Hendricks with a glare in his eyes.
"Me and my partner won't go down so easily again! We'll show you exactly what we're capable of!" Tyler showed Talthea to Hendricks once more, speaking with determination. Hendricks smiled.
"Really, now? Alright then! Convince me!" Hendricks roared as he attached Hagenti to his launcher. Tyler attached Talthea to his launcher and took a deep breath.
"Three!" Tyler squatted down with his right leg behind him and his right arm extended outwards. Hendricks held his scythe launcher vertically, like an actual scythe.
"Two!" Tyler moved his right hand to the string handle on his launcher. Hendricks threw the scythe launcher in the air.
"One!" Tyler turned his upper body slightly to his right as he held his launcher at a flat angle. Hendricks leapt upwards to catch his launcher.
"LET IT RIP!" Tyler and Hendricks launched with all their power. Bolts of red lightning shot out from Tyler's launcher, and scythe-shaped bolts of black lightning emerged from Hendricks's launcher. Talthea and Hagenti landed and orbited the outer ring of the stadium at high speed, chasing each other around the stadium ridge.
"You won't beat me in a battle of speed! Now go, Talthea!" Tyler called out his plan as Talthea raced around the stadium using its rubber ring to catch up to Hagenti and use its blades to slash at Hagenti, knocking it away. Talthea pursued its target for another attack, knocking it towards the center.
"How's that for power?" Tyler asked with a confident smirk. Hendricks looked down at Hagenti, which began moving a spiral pattern.
"Not good enough! COME AT ME A LITTLE HARDER!" Hendricks invited Tyler to hit as hard as he could. Of course, Tyler took the bait. His cherry red resonance lit up around him as he raised his hand to the sky.
"Alright then, you've asked for it! Let's go, Talthea!" Tyler called out. Talthea's red resonance flared up as the bey's avatar emerged. The avatar depicted a red dragon with a set of black armor and black horns, along with a pair of bright blue eyes. The dragon roared loudly as Talthea's three blades crackled with crimson lightning. Talthea raced towards Hagenti at blistering speeds.
"Here we come! CRIMSON SLASH!" Tyler's right arm glowed a bright red as he made a slashing motion, indicating his most powerful attack. Talthea crashed into Hagenti with the lightning powered blades, which knocked Hagenti away, but the purple bey stayed on the outer ring.
"Wait WHAT?!" Tyler stood there, dumbfounded. He did not expect Hagenti to survive Crimson Slash. Hendricks laughed as his indigo resonance took hold. This time, his exposed eye turned pure black as he grabbed his scythe launcher.
"IT'S TIIIIME! GRIEF HAGENTI!" Hendricks shouted loudly. His voice had been accompanied with a second voice that spoke in a lower tone, in perfect tandem with his normal voice. Hagenti's dark indigo resonance shot up as the purple octopus avatar emerged, wearing a black pirate's hat with a gold brim, along with a golden mask over its purple eyes. The octopus had big silver hammers on the ends of its eight tentacles. Hagenti's hammers began crackling with dark indigo lightning as Hagenti slammed into Talthea, causing the red bey to careen towards Hagenti's path, where it struck again. Hagenti sped up, moving in a circular motion and trapping Talthea in a barrage of hits.
"NOW YOU SHALL PERISH! GRAVITY HAMMER!" Hendricks called out as he formed a bridge of the dark lightning between his hands. Hagenti began tightening the circle, which resembled a cage made of dark lightning. The circle kept shrinking, causing Talthea to hit the edges of the circle more and more until the circle was hardly the size of the inner ring and Talthea took endless punishment before the lightning shot up to the roof of the stadium, taking Talthea with it. The red bey bursted when it hit the roof. Tyler stood there in total shock as Talthea's pieces hit the ground. Hendricks laughed as his resonance faded and his eye returned to normal.
"So… you survive this time! Impressive, but it only delays your inevitable destruction! Hendricks laughed even more as he picked up his bey and left, leaving Tyler with a haunting message. Tyler, visibly shaken, picked up Talthea and ran towards the school, where he met up with the rest of the beyclub. They were all in the gym, waiting for a projection to grace the projector screen. Sakura quickly noticed her friend.
"Hello, Tyler. You're later than I expected." Sakura greeted her friend.
"Yeah… I had to honour Hendricks's battle request…" Tyler sighed. Klarissa quickly noticed something felt different.
"You look like you've been through a war zone! What happened out there?" Klarissa asked.
"That Hendricks guy… he's a lunatic. He threatened to break Talthea in battle to add it to his collection of broken beys! And he had a twisted version of our Bond Lightning, too!" Tyler described what happened. Sakura and Klarissa gasped.
"That's horrible! Who threatens to break another person's bey like that?!" Sakura asked.
"I'll tell you who. A deranged blader. That's what Hendricks seems to be…" Klarissa added.
"Well I know what'll help you take your mind off of the battle." Xarvin offered to help Tyler. "A title match between Aiga Akaba and Lui Shirosagi is about to kick off." Xarvin mentioned a big battle. Tyler's eyes lit up like he had seen a shiny object.
"Oh, I'm so down to watch that! That'll help me clear my head." Tyler exclaimed with a sense of joy in his voice. Just as he and Xarvin arrived in the school gym, Principal Shinoda turned on the projector, displaying the National Arena, packed with a full crowd. At the stadium, Aiga and Lui stood opposite each other, both with their hands folded.
"Greetings, bey fans! Gunta Hanami here, covering the exciting wbba Title Match between two big five members! In the red corner, the world champion himself, The Scarlet Supernova, Aiga Akaba! In the blue corner, the fourth ranked member of the big five! The Winter Knight, Lui Shirosagi!" Hanami announced the contenders in the incredible title match. Aiga and Lui looked at each other with fire in their eyes.
"I've been waiting for my chance to reclaim the number one spot since Valt took it all those years ago. Now it's time for me to claim my rightful throne as the king of the Beyblade world!" Lui proclaimed with extreme confidence. Aiga smirked.
"Not if I blow you away! I'll show you that me and Achilles are still the best team in the world!" Aiga proudly matched Lui's confidence. Then, he pulled out his bey.
"This is my partner! Warrior Achilles!" Aiga showed his bey to Lui. Achilles gave off a gorgeous scarlet shine. Lui scoffed.
"Heh. I guess it's not bad." Lui replied as he pulled out his bey. "But it's never going to be a match for Fury Longinus!" Lui proudly stated as Longinus gave off a beautiful purple shine. Back at school, Tyler smiled at the sight of Aiga and Lui's beys.
"Man, I don't know who to cheer for! The awesome world champion or the incredible dragon blader? Who do I pick?!" Tyler asked.
"You should root for Aiga, he's batter." One student piped up.
"No! Lui's so much cooler!" Another student added. There was some bickering in the crowd before Tyler came to a decision.
"I… guess I'll pick both of them!" Tyler announced. At the arena, Lui and Aiga attached their beys to their launcher. Aiga took six steps back from the stadium.
"Ready, set!" The referee raised his hand.
"THREE!" Lui reached to his side with his left arm. Aiga began running forwards while holding his launcher.
"TWO!" Lui did a windmill motion with his left arm, ending with his hand on the launcher handle. Aiga did a cartwheel using his free hand to propel himself forwards..
"ONE!" Lui leaned forwards for a better windup. Aiga jumped straight up, reaching for the sky while doing a barrel roll.
"LET IT RIP!" Lui leaned back as he launched, with streaks of purple lightning coming from his launcher. Aiga launched at the height of his jump, with sword-like bolts of scarlet lightning emerging from his launcher. Achilles landed and went straight for the center, spinning on a sharp plastic tip, which had a free-spinning ring surrounding it. Longinus landed and raced around the outer ring of the stadium.
"And they're off! Achilles decides to play it safe while Longinus prowls around the perimeter waiting for its big chance!" Hanami announced the start of the battle.
"Alright then! Get in there, Longinus!" Lui called out to his bey. Longinus ran down towards the middle where Achilles stayed. Longinus struck Achilles with its smaller blades to chip at Achilles's stamina. Achilles moved out of the center a bit before returning to its position. Longinus swooped down to strike again with the same small blade, generating the same result.
"Longinus went in for a couple of strike, but Achilles held its ground!" Hanami commented on the match.
"Alright then. Let's see you handle this!" Lui boldly called out as Longinus came in for another attack, this time trying to get a hit with the dragon blades. Aiga however, had a plan.
"Alright, Achilles! Warrior Defense!" Aiga stood in a guarding stance as a pair of golden shields formed around Achilles, shielding it from the deadly blow. Longinus kept attacking, but the shield barely budged.
"Look at that bey go! Despite Longinus's vicious assault, Achilles stands firm as if nothing happened at all!" Hanami called out. Lui smirked and gritted his teeth as his purple and cyan resonance formed around him. His fiery teal hair began moving in a burning motion as if his head were actually on fire.
"So what if you have a shield. I'll just crush it with all my might! Now go, Longinus!" Lui shouted as he thrusted his left hand forwards. Longinus's purple resonance thrusted forth, revealing a silver dragon with a golden helmet, icy blue eyes, and a sharp purple tongue within a mouth covered in fangs. The dragon had a golden chestplate and claws made of ice. The dragon spread its wide purple wings and roared loudly as Longinus glowed a beautiful purple as Longinus raced towards the wall, bouncing off of the wall to ascend into the air.
"Now, let's make some wicked rain fall! FURY SQUALL!" Lui raised his left hand to the sky as Longinus began to descend towards Achilles, with purple sparks of energy forming around it, falling like raindrops. Longinus crashed down upon Achilles, avoiding the shield by attacking from above. The energy sparks consolidated within Longinus to knock Achilles down, causing it to scrape against the stadium floor and crash into a wall, where it would lose all its spin.
"Fury Longinus wins with a survivor finish! The score is 1-0!" The referee called. The crowd cheered loudly as Lui laughed to himself with his hair still burning brightly.
"Despite Achilles's best attempts to fend off Longinus's assault, the mighty dragon still knocked it into submission! Now does Aiga have a plan to counter Longinus, or will Lui take his championship title?" Hanami recapped the match as Aiga fiddled with his bey, taking off part of the driver and replacing it with a new part. Back at school, Tyler and Sakura took notice.
"Aiga seems to be changing something. What's his plan to counter Longinus?" Tyler asked.
"It seems Aiga wants to play more offensively to try and match Longinus in a contest of strength." Sakura observed. This got Xarvin fired up.
"Man, I love a good power struggle! Turn up the heat, Aiga!" Xarvin cheered. In the stadium, Lui and Aiga smiled at each other.
"Heh. You know you couldn't stand up to Longinus's power! So you tried to hide behind a shield. And you lost anyway!" Lui gloated as he folded his arms.
"I wouldn't say that! I'm just getting warmed up!" Aiga responded with his usual confidence as he did a windmill motion with his launching arm. He was ready for victory.
"Second battle!" The referee called out. Both bladers attached their beys to their launchers. Aiga took six steps back.
"Ready, set!" The referee raised his arm.
"THREE!" Lui reached to his side with his left arm. Aiga began running forwards while holding his launcher.
"TWO!" Lui did a windmill motion with his left arm, ending with his hand on the launcher handle. Aiga did a cartwheel using his free hand to propel himself forwards..
"ONE!" Lui leaned forwards for a better windup. Aiga jumped straight up, reaching for the sky while doing a barrel roll.
"LET IT RIP!" Lui leaned back as he launched, with streaks of purple lightning coming from his launcher. Aiga launched at the height of his jump, with sword-like bolts of scarlet lightning emerging from his launcher. Longinus and Achilles landed on the outer ring, on opposite sides of the stadium before racing towards each other. Achilles was spinning on a flat star-shaped tip made of metal. Both beys soon collided at the edge of the stadium.
"The second battle is off to a furious start with Longinus and Achilles meeting up for an electrifying clash!" Hanami called out as Longinus and Achilles split up and began racing around the stadium again, with Achilles riding the outer ridge and Longinus spiralling out from the center. Lui smirked at his opponent, folding his arms.
"Now this is more interesting!" Lui complimented. His smirk turned into a fearsome grin. "Too bad it won't be enough. You'll never overpower me and Longinus!" Lui called out as Longinus reached the outer ring, rattling towards Achilles like a high speed locomotive.
"Look out! Fury Longinus is set on a collision course with Achilles once again!" Hanami commented. Aiga noticed Longinus's approach and squatted down as if preparing for a jump.
"We'll just see about that!" Aiga replied as he leapt upwards and raised his right hand. "Now! Warrior Breaker!" Aiga shouted as he fell, swinging his fist down like a hammer. Achilles met Longinus's attack with its own, taking advantage of a slight height difference to knock Longinus down and cause it to scrape on the stadium floor and lose a bunch of spin as it was shot towards the center. The crowd shouted as Achilles began chasing down Longinus.
"Achilles fights back with a vicious slam, knocking Longinus backwards! Now Longinus is in a vulnerable position and Achilles is poised for another big strike!" Hanami called out. Lui gritted his teeth as he watched Achilles slam into Longinus, knocking the dragon bey backwards towards a wall. Aiga smiled, knowing he was in good position to win.
"Let's finish it, Achilles! Now, attack!" Aiga punched forwards as Achilles ran into Longinus once more, using its sweeping silver blades like a broom to sweep Longinus towards one of the openings in the stadium, where it would fall out near Lui's foot.
"Warrior Achilles wins with a Ring Out Finish! The score is 1-1!" The referee signaled, pointing his right arm at Aiga as the crowd erupted.
"What a turn of events! Aiga flips on the aggressive switch and it pays off big time, allowing him to beat Lui and Longinus in a tight battle! Now the score is tied and the next battle could decide it!" Hanami recapped the previous battle as Aiga picked up Achilles and fiddled more with its setup. Back at school, Tyler and Xarvin cheered as Sakura focused on Aiga's bey.
"What a comeback! Keep on rolling, Aiga!" Tyler cheered loudly as he raised his fist.
"Lookin' good up there! Keep up the power!" Xarvin added. Sakura watched intently as Aiga took off the bottom of his bey's driver and turned a knob to switch to a different tip before putting the bottom back on. Then, he installed a blue sword attachment to the blade, giving Achilles more power and reach.
"Aiga intends to go for the kill. He is bringing out every last bit of Achilles's power." Sakura observed. Back in the stadium, Lui and Aiga stared into each others eyes, both sporting a determined gaze. The final match was set to be an incredible power struggle.
"You've pushed me further than most, Aiga. I'll commend you for that." Lui spoke with a new sharpness in his voice as his purple and cyan resonance began emerging around him. "But this is the end for you! You'll never overcome the power that Longinus and I possess!" Lui shouted as his hair began burning like a blue wildifre. Aiga grinned as his bright red and blue resonance burned brightly around him.
"The end hasn't come yet! Achilles and I will prove once more… that we're the strongest team in the world!" Aiga shouted back at Lui, determined to prove himself right. The two bladers stood there as their resonance burned passionately around them.
"Third battle!" The referee called out. Both blader attached their beys to their launchers. Aiga took six steps backwards.
"Ready, set!" The referee raised his hand.
"THREE!" Lui reached to his side with his left arm. Aiga began running forwards while holding his launcher.
"TWO!" Lui did a windmill motion with his left arm, ending with his hand on the launcher handle. Aiga did a cartwheel using his free hand to propel himself forwards..
"ONE!" Lui leaned forwards for a better windup. Aiga jumped straight up, reaching for the sky while doing a barrel roll.
"LET IT RIP!" Lui leaned back as he launched, with streaks of purple lightning coming from his launcher. Aiga launched at the height of his jump, with sword-like bolts of scarlet lightning emerging from his launcher. Achilles landed on the outer ring of the stadium and repeatedly rushed the center with intense speed from the wide, rubber flat tip.
"Let's go, Achilles! Warrior Launch!" Aiga called out as he watched Achilles race towards the center. Longinus also rushed the center, so the two beys clashed with incredible force, concealing the stadium with the explosive energy generated from the clash.
"The third battle is off to an intense start! These two bladers are bent on winning today, and only one of them can come out on top!" Hanami announced as the two beys then split up, landing on the outer ring and racing along to meet each other once again.
"Knock 'em out, Longinus! Crush them with all your might!" Lui called out.
"Meet the attack, Achilles! Blow 'em away!" Aiga responded. Longinus and Achilles collided with intense force on the outer ring, splitting up and then meeting each other at the same point again with equal intensity. This time, the split was more forceful, knocking both beys towards the wall. Achilles slammed into the wall and bounced towards the middle of the stadium slope, beginning to spiral outwards. Longinus took a click from the impact with the wall, causing the dragon heads on its disk to align with the dragon heads on the thunder point. Lui's purple and cyan resonance burned with more intensity than ever before as his hair burned as bright as an inferno.
"Unleash the fullest extent of our fury! Crush them, Longinus!" Lui roared as Longinus' purple resonance thrusted forth, revealing a silver dragon with a golden helmet, icy blue eyes, and a sharp purple tongue within a mouth covered in fangs. The dragon had a golden chestplate and claws made of ice. The dragon spread its wide purple wings and roared loudly as the sloped dragon heads crackled with purple lightning.
"Smash them, Longinus! FURY HAMMER!" Lui raised his left fist and slammed it down like a sledgehammer as Longinus rounded a corner and violently crashed into Achilles with a frightening crunch, sending Achilles tumbling towards the stadium floor and causing it to flip twice in the air before landing on its tip. The crowd audibly gasped before roaring in applause. Lui's eyes widened as he watched Achilles race around the outer ring.
"IT SURVIVED?!" Lui cried out in utter disbelief. Aiga's resonance bruned brighter around him as his eyes briefly gained a fiery glow.
"Achilles and I… are not going down today!" Aiga shouted before raising his right hand. The tie on the back of his hair snapped as his hair turned bright red and spiked outwards and up. Aiga performed a windmill motion as his bright red and blue resonance expanded around him.
"ACHILLES!" Aiga shouted out as Achilles's scarlet resonance emerged around it, revealing a warrior clad in scarlet armor with a golden shield, green eyes, a blue cape, and a silver sword with a blue hilt. The sword itself burned bright blue as Achilles's sword attachment began crackling with scarlet lightning. Aiga jumped high into the sky and his right arm began glowing bright red.
"Let's finish this and blow them away! WARRIOR SLASH!" Aiga twirled in the air as he made a slashing motion with his glowing arm. Achilles charged forwards and crashed into Longinus, causing scarlet and purple lightning to envelop the stadium, crackling with extreme intensity before Longinus was thrown towards the wall, where it bursted on impact, each part crackling with Achilles's red lightning. Lui stared in total disbelief. He was at a loss for words. Aiga flexed his muscles and let out a mighty roar.
"WE DID IT!" Aiga shouted, proud of his bey.
"Warrior Achilles wins with a Burst Finish! With a score of 1-3, Aiga Akaba defends his title!" The ref announced as the crowd went into hysterics. Back at school, Tyler and Xarvin jumped for joy as Sakura looked on with a smile.
"He did it… just as I expected." Sakura spoke calmly. Even Principal Shinoda couldn't help but smile.
"That was a most excellent match." Principal Shinoda observed. "I'm proud of you, Aiga…" Principal Shinoda felt himself getting a little bit sappy. Back in the stadium, Lui put his bey back together and Aiga's hair returned back to normal as he made his way over to Lui.
"Hey, thanks for the great battle! Achilles and I needed this!" Aiga reached out to shake hands with Lui, who turned to look him in the eye. Lui scoffed.
"I'll admit it. You're not that bad." Lui gave off a small smirk. "But next time, I'll crush you for sure!" Lui proclaimed as he turned to leave the arena.
"Oh no, you won't! Next time, I'll win again! And the next time after that too!" Aiga shouted, clearly taking exception to Lui's statement. Then he walked out of the arena, still proud of his victory. Back at school, Tyler felt a surge of energy racing through his body.
"Man, that battle was electric! I wanna have a battle like that on the national stage, just like I did with Rantaro!" Tyler leapt into the air, having almost entirely recovered from his battle with Hendricks. "I'm gonna train harder and harder so that one day, I'll catch up to Aiga and take that title from him!" Tyler made a vow to himself. He was determined to battle against the legends and he wasn't going to let anyone stop him. Meanwhile, back at the canopy stadium, Hendricks launched his bey once more. Hagenti landed in the stadium and rattled around the outer ring. Hendricks stood there with a vicious grin on his face as he watched his bey.
"Crushing Tyler like that was fun! I want to destroy them all… I'll make sure of it!" Hendricks repeated to himself before laughing quietly. He was certain of his plan, and like Tyler, he was determined to not let anyone get in his way.
