Kuoh Academy early morning
The three members of the beyclub were walking through the forest on the edge of the school grounds to the ORC.
The trios reason for heading to the ORC this early was because Finn had received a text from Momo to meet her and the student council as well as the club run by Rias Gremory the ORC otherwise known as the Occult Research Club.
Zar was casually walking with his arms behind his head without a care in the world while Yuffie was happily hopping from tree branch to tree branch as she did back in the mountains. As for Finn, he was just walking while munching on a rice ball to satisfy his snack attack.
Zar then turned towards Finn with a look of confusion.
"So Finn why are we heading to Rias's clubroom today?"
Finn smiled at Zar answering his friend.
"We're going because Momo texted me saying that she wanted to meet with us."
Yuffie was still going from tree branch to tree branch like a wild child laughing without a care.
"How did you get Momo's number in your phone anyway Finn?"
"Momo gave it to me the other day but she was being weird about it though."
Zar and Yuffie both confused by his statement.
"What'd you mean weird?"
"Yeah. Momo's a bit scary sometimes but I've never noticed her being weird."
Finn closed his eyes in thinking to himself before answering his friends.
"Well, when we were talking I suggested we exchanging numbers so we could keep in touch. After I said that her face started to turn red and she was stuttering a lot."
Zar and Yuffie looked at each other before looking back at Finn.
"Yeah, your right Finn. That does sound weird."
Finn nodded to his friends however their conversation was cut short when they arrived at the ORC building.
"Well, guys this is the place."
Zar looked at the building as he tilted his head sideways in confusion.
"You sure Finn? This building looks old."
Yuffie jumped down from the branch landing on her feet looking at the ORC club building however instead of confusion and curiosity like Zar had Yuffie was scared as she clung to Zar's leg.
"T-That place looks haunted. You sure this is where Momo said she wanted us to meet?"
Finn nodded and smiled at Yuffie.
"Of course Yuffie. Momo wouldn't say so otherwise. Now let's' go on in you guys we're already late."
Zar nodded as he then tried to separate Yuffie from his leg as the trio entered the building.

ORC Club Room
When the trio entered the club the interior was not what they were expecting from a run-down building.
The interior of the ORC was a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls. Zar whistled in wonder while Finn and Yuffie stared in awe.
"Wow, this place sure is fancy for an old clubhouse."
Yuffie nodded in agreement.
"Yeah Zar's right this place is very fancy."
The three bladers looked around until they heard the sound of water running causing them to turn their heads.
"Why do you guys think this place has a shower?"
Zar and Yuffie shook their shoulders unsure of how to answer Finn's question until they heard a voice from the shower.
"I'll be out in a minute~"
Finn seeing no point in standing around just took a seat on the couch as did Zar while Yuffie just sat legs crossed on the floor.
The three bladers then heard the sound of the door in the club room revealing the rest of the ORC who had just arrived.
Going from left to right the rest of the ORC; Akeno Himejima, Kiba Yuuto, Koneko Toujou, Asia Argento, and Issei Hyoudou.
Akeno who saw the three bladers as her magenta eyes roamed over each one.
"Ara, Ara. I didn't know we'd have two cute first years and a second year in the club with us. The occasion must be special."
Finn looked confused as did Zar and Yuffie at Akeno's statement.
"Bucho why did we invite these guys to the club? They don't seem that special."
Rias chuckled at Issei's confusion however Zar wasn't so happy.
"Hey, Pal. You better watch who you're talking too."
Issei and Zar got into an intense staring contest as sparks could be seen between the two of them.
"What'd you say?"
"You heard me unless you're deaf and stupid."
"What!?"
Both boys were on the verge of tearing each other apart until Rias who had just finished showering jumped in to be the voice of reason.
"Issei you shouldn't be picking fights with guests that I and Sona invited."
Issei was left slack-jawed as Zar was chuckling to himself.
"B-But Bucho!"
Rias then cut him off as she turned to Zar.
"However that being said… Zar, you shouldn't pick fights with people who invite you into their club room."
Zar scoffed at her statement.
"Whatever. Your not my mom."
"Hey show Bucho some respect!"
"Why don't you make me pal!"
The two boys butted heads again before another voice interjected.
"I see your peerage is still as lively as ever Rias."
Finn and Yuffie who were trying to hold Zar back turned to the source of the voice as it was none other than Sona and the rest of the student council had arrived as well.
Finn, Yuffie, and Zar finally sat down as the ORC and the Student Council stood in front of the three bladers until Finn broke the momentary silence.
"Soo…. there a reason we were called here so early?"
Sona nodded as Rias spoke to the three of them.
"Tell me do you three believe in the supernatural?"
The three bladers looked at each other then back at Rias before Zar spoke up.
"If you mean like ghosts then no. I don't believe in ghosts."
Yuffie began shaking in fear.
"Wahh! I don't like ghosts!"
Finn began cuddling Yuffie.
"Zar. You know Yuffie is scared of ghosts."
Zar could only look at his friend his mouth agape as Rias chuckled at the three bladers while Sona rolled her eyes.
This time Sona spoke to the three bladers as her tone was more serious than Rias.
"Let's get to the point. Do you three believe in the concepts of heaven and hell? As well as devils, angels, and fallen angels?"
The three bladers looked at each other before speaking as it went in order from Yuffie to Zar then to Finn.
"I don't think I believe in heaven or hell all that much."
"Even though I don't believe in ghosts, I do believe in that place called heaven and whatnot."
"I believe since my mom is an angel."
This caused Zar and Yuffie to look at Finn with wide eyes.
"Dude your mom's an angel? Like is it cause she's pretty or does she have wings?"
Yuffie's eyes turned to stars after Zar finished his question.
"Woah! So Finn if your mom's a pretty angel then you must be super magical!"
Finn just looked at Yuffie with wide eyes before he smiled at his friend at his fellow blader.
"I'm not magical Yuffie but my mom is magical."
The stars in Yuffie's eyes never left as she kept staring at Finn with wonder and amazement.
Rias then cleared her throat getting the attention of the three bladers as they focused on her.
"Let me get to the point and not waste anymore of your time."
The three bladers looked at each other before they looked back at Rias.
"""Okay."""
"Everyone in this room aside from you three are devils."
Zar and Yuffie's eyes went wide with surprise while Finn's narrowed in anger as he narrowed his eyes at the group before him.
"Hold on I'm confused. Is this a prank cause if so I don't do jokes."
Sona pushed her glasses up and addressed Finn in a serious tone.
"This is no prank and we're not joking."
To further prove their point all the members of the ORC and the Student Council sprouted a set of devil wings from their backs.
Finn's eyes widened in horror as he remembered his first encounter with devils and it cost him everything.
2 years ago
"Dang it! Why do I keep losing?"
A much younger Finn picked up Fenrir to his disappointment as he heard laughter from the other side of the bey arena.
"HaHa! It's not hard to understand Finn. You just have to master and fully sync with Fenrir he is your partner after all."
Finn looked up to see a boy a bit older than he was with medium length spiky black hair that stopped at the center of his back. He had piercing red eyes that could intimidate almost any individual.
He mainly wore a dark red t-shirt and dark blue pants with gray and yellow boots and on his right wrist was a black wristband.
This was Ryoma Finn's first and only friend before he moved to Beigoma and in terms of skill with a bey, he always outclassed Finn.
"Grrrr. Come on Ryoma. One more time."
Ryoma laughed at Finn's stubbornness as he loaded his bey into his launcher while going to one knee and tilting his launcher to find a good launch angle as both bladers counted down and launched their beys into the arena however sadly Finn once again tasted defeat as Ryoma beat him two to zero despite the loss the two friends just laughed it off as they went up to their personal spot on the cliffside to watch the sunset.
"Hey, Finn."
"Yeah, Ryoma."
"You ever wonder if there's more to life than just Beyblade?"
Finn looked at his friend clearly confused before he just smiled.
"Not at all. Hehe."
Ryoma smiled back as he looked at the horizon which was now colored a mix of orange, red, and pink.
"I want more Finn."
"What do you mean Ryoma?"
"I'm saying I'm tired of being just the best in town. I wanna go out on the big stage of the world and show everybody out there who's number one!"
Finn looked at his best friend with stars in his eyes as he admired his friends' goal.
It was then that Ryoma's face adopted a smirk as he had an idea.
"I know just how to do it too. Finn, can you meet me by church tonight?"
Finn nodded to his friend albeit he was confused.
"Sure but why are we meeting by the church and late too?"
"Simple. I think I know a bey that'll help me reach the goal of number one."
"I don't know. Mom always told me not to go under the church."
"I'll give you a rematch with my new bey."
Finn immediately popped up at Ryoma's offer.
"Deal!"
With that, the meeting was made for the two friends as the night rolled in Finn snuck out of his house and over to the church where Ryoma said to meet him.
'I sure hope Ryoma's right about this bey. I wonder how strong it is? EEEEEEEEE! I can't wait!' Finn left his thoughts when he saw Ryoma waiting at the church.
"Man, what took you?"
"Hehe. Sorry I was trying to be quiet and not wake Mom up."
"Whatever. Let's go already."
"You got it."
With that, the two friends entered the church until they found a set of steps as they went underground going down the stairway until at last, they made it.
Below them was a pit of lava since the church was built over what remained of a dormant volcano which in hindsight wasn't the best of building locations but what can you do.
There were two stone pillars across from each other and sitting in between the two pillars was a bey arena however their real prize was encased on a pedestal.
"See Finn told you it was real!"
Ryoma proceeded to carefully hope over to the encased bey as eagerness was present in his eyes.
'Man Ryoma sure is excited but I don't get it. Why is there a bey down here in the first place?'
Finns' pocket began to glow as the boy reached in it and pulled out Fenrir who seemed to be reacting to they bey that Ryoma was going for.
"Uhh, Ryoma? Maybe we should go something is telling me this isn't right."
However, Finn's words fell on deaf ears as Ryoma had already made it to the pedestal.
Ryoma was about to reach out and grab it when he finally heard Finn calling to him as he turned around.
"Why would-no Why should we go back? We're so close!"
"Ryoma, please. I just don't know about this place."
Ryoma sighed as he saw the look on Finn's face was pure worry and concern as he retracted his hand.
"Fine. If it'll get you to stop looking like that then we'll go."
Finn smiled as Ryoma was about to head back until he heard a voice speaking to him.
'Are you really just going to quit that easily?'
"Who's there?"
Finn looked at his friend confused.
"Ryoma you okay buddy?"
'I thought you wanted to become strong and show the world that you were number one?'
"Of course I do that's always been my goal!"
'Then why do you hesitate? Your friend over there is weaker than you and he lacks skill. If you truly want to become stronger than listen to me and pick up that bey.'
Ryoma then extended his hand out to the crystal and grabbed it as the bey inside began to glow bright red.
Finn even more concerned called out to his friend.
"Ryoma! Come on we need to go!"
"Shut the hell up!"
Finn took a step back, surprised by his friends' tone.
"R-Ryoma. You alright?"
"Finn I've decided that if I'm going to pursue my goal then I need to tie up loose ends."
"W-What do you mean?"
"What he means is that you are an eyesore and need to be dealt with."
Finn followed the new voice until he found its source which was a handsome man dressed in black armor with a cape. He had long brown hair that goes to his hips with many bangs covering his right eye. He raised his arm then opened his hand as a green magic circle appeared in his palm as he blasted Finn sending the young boy hurling back.
"Gah! Who are you supposed to be?"
The man clicked his tongue in annoyance before he addressed himself to Finn.
"My name you lowly angel spawn is Shalba Beelzebub. That's all you need to know before I kill you maggot."
However, before Shalba could fire a second blast Ryoma stuck his arm out in front of the devil as a wicked fanged smile spread across his face.
"Hold on Shalba right?"
The devil nodded before Ryoma spoke again.
"I need to tie up this loose end so you sit back and watch."
Shalba rolled his eyes as he took a seat on a nearby rock to watch this battle unfold.
Ryoma still smiling looked down at the bey encased in the crystal that was still in his palm as he began to apply pressure until the crystal broke revealing the bey inside.
Its design seemed to be somewhat of a hybrid build as its facebolt only had three numbers on it 666. The design of the energy layer featured two animal heads one of which was a bear and the other was a leopard as the bear head was above the 666 facebolt while the leopard head was below it. On the left and right sides of the facebolt were wing shape designs meant to block or ward off attacks. The fusion wheel's design was similar to that of L-Dragon as the fusion wheel was shaped into three more animal heads consisting of a dragon, a lion, and a bat. The beys' performance tip was a combination of the performance tip diablo nemesis and of twisted tempo as it was the perfect fusion of defense and stamina. However, Fin noticed a separate black wheel below Trihexas' fusion wheel that looked a bit thicker than the rest of the bey and carved into the black wheel were three mouth grooves that fit each of the three heads of the fusion wheel. To finish it off Trihexas' color scheme was a mix of red and black.
"Take aim, Finn!"
Finn grunted in regret but nonetheless, he loaded Fenrir in the launcher and took aim at the arena.
"If it'll snap you out of it then fine! Let's go Ryoma!"
Both bladers took aim at the arena and prepared to launch their beys.
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
""Let It Rip!""
Fenrir and Trihexa landed in the arena as Fenrir began spinning to the right at a fast speed however to Finns' surprise Trihexa was spinning counter-clockwise also at a fast speed.
Ryoma wasted no time making the first move.
"Hit it Trihexa!"
Trihexa sped up and slammed into Fenrir causing a massive explosion as Finn covered his face.
"Ahh. Fenrir!"
Fenrir bounced back before speeding up again.
'Wow, it's no joke. Its power is off the scale but I won't get anywhere by just spinning around the stadium.'
"Get in there Fenrir!"
Fenrir picked up speed and rushed Trihexa slamming into the opposing full force causing Finn to smile at the direct contact.
"Boom! Not so tough now huh?"
From the corner, Shalba merely smirked at Finn's foolishness while Ryoma began laughing like a mad man.
"You really are fucking stupid aren't you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"See for yourself dumbass."
Finn looked down at the arena as the smoke cleared to see that Trihexa was hardly scratched by the attack and what was worse was that as Fenrir and Trihexa were in deadlock Fenrir was losing its spin while Trihexa was gaining spin speed.
Finn realized that if this continued he'd lose so as much as he didn't like it he had to go with plan B.
"Get out of there Fenrir!"
Fenrir managed to escape and began to spin around the arena trying to regain its stamina.
"Hahahahaha! So you finally get it now? Trihexa is able to steal your strength upon impact but that's not all it can do. Trihexa!"
Trihexa then picked up speed as it went to collide with Fenrir again only for Fenrir to dodge.
"As much as I hate running from a fight you can't drain me if you can't hit me!"
Ryoma grit his teeth until he smiled again.
"Ha! So that's it then."
"What are you talking about? Ryoma please wake up! This isn't the real you!"
"Your words are wasted maggot."
Finn then turned to Shalba who was still calmly sitting in the same spot.
"Your friend is still the same in fact I'm just helping him achieve what he always wanted to be number one."
Finns' eyes went wide and his pupils shrunk as the realization dawned on him.
"Don't tell me you told Ryoma about Trihexa!"
Shalba's silence was all the proof Finn needed before Shalba spoke again.
"I met him before he met you and told him about Trihexa and all I did was give him an extra push. I can't take credit for his personality change though as it appears that Trihexa has brought out his true personality to the surface."
Finn's face morphed to that of pure anger.
"You're the devil! How could you do this to my friend?!"
Shalba chuckled as he stood up and from his back came five pairs of devil wings.
"You're not wrong on the devil part but as to your why I'm doing this...I don't need to waste my breath telling you anything."
Shalba then turned towards Ryoma getting fed up with him stalling.
"Ryoma! Finish this!"
Ryoma scoffed by obliged nonetheless.
"Trihexa! Finish it!"
Trihexa sped up and knocked Fenrir in the air as time seemed to slow down as Finn saw his bey and partner being sent flying.
"Do it!"
Trihexa began to glow as Finn got to see what the beast actually looked like as two heads rose from the bey as a leopard head and a bear head appeared to Finns' horror as both heads fired a combined blast of red energy destroying the avatar of Fenrir.
"Fenrir!"
An explosion followed as the cave began to collapse as Finn ran to grab Fenrir, unfortunately, the blast from Trihexa had knocked some of the foundations loose as Finn looked up to see some rocks fall on him as he grunted in pain as blood began to flow from his forehead as he reached for Ryoma only to see Trihexa return to his hand as he then collapsed but Shalba caught him and proceeded to carry him out.
"I can't believe this. Trihexa has drained you already so it seems like I'll need to find some way to restore your strength."
Finn watched in sadness as his friend left with Shalba unconscious however that sadness turned to anger as he remembered the one person who caused all this.
'Shalba! He caused all this! Devils...Devils! I hate them! I hate them all! I swear I will never ever forgive them!'
Finn then passed out as his vision faded to black but not before he saw the worried and fearful expression of his mother over him as he finally let the darkness take his vision.
Present
Finn balled his hand tightly into a fist as his eyes narrowed in anger.
"Liar."
Finns' voice was quiet so no one heard what he said however before they could ask him to repeat himself the volume and tone of Finns' voice increased which portrayed anger and malice.
"Liar! You lied to me!"
Finn pointed at Momo as the girl was confused.
"F-Finn what are you-"
Finn cut her off.
"Save it! I thought you were just another girl a someone who I could trust but I was wrong! I hate devils! I hate them all!"
Momos' eyes widened as she could feel his anger as could everyone else. Rias tried to calm down the situation but Finn wasn't going to have any of it.
"Shut up! Because of devils, I lost my best friend and my life too! As for you Momo you lied to me and if there's one thing I hate more than dishonest blader its someone who lied to me!"
Finn then walked away leaving the room in silence but Momo tried to plead her case to Finn as he had just opened the door.
"Finn! Please wait to let me…"
Finn stopped walking as he didn't turn around to face the girl.
"Stay where you are and don't follow me. I thought I already told you I hate devils so get lost already."
With that Finn left the room and slammed the door shut once again leaving the room in stunned silence.
Momo was emotionally devastated as she was on the verge of tears with both hands over her heart.
'Why? Why am I feeling this way?! I've only known Finn for not even a week a best a few days and yet I…'
Momo then retracted her wings as her hair shadowed her eyes trying to hide her eyes.
"K-Kaichou I'm going home for the day. Please excuse me."
Momo then left as Sona noticed that she was crying now, although she tried to hide it.
Zar and Yuffie got up and apologized to both the ORC and the student council as they left too only leaving the devils in the room to discuss the events that had just transpired with Saji being the most vocal.
"What the hell is that 1st years' problem? How could he just shout at Momo-san and us like that!"
Sona then cut her pawn off as she addressed the situation.
"Saji enough. It's obvious that something in Finns' past has given him an extreme hatred for devils. Whether he chooses to hold onto that hate or forgive is up to him, not us. Am I understood?"
Saji stiffened as he nodded quickly to his king.
"Yes, Kaicho!"
Sona, however, was more concerned about Momo.
'Momo you need to accept your feelings or toss them out but what your doing right now will only hurt you and continue to hurt you unless you do something.'

Finns' house
Gabriel and Rachel returned home when they heard objects being thrown and turned over in Finns' room and Gabriel felt her sons' magic exploding which she could assume he was angry.
"Rachel. Can you start on dinner honey? I need to talk to your brother."
"Sure mom."
Gabriel walked up the stairs to Finns' room and gently knocked a few times not intimidated by the massive holy aura in his room.
Finn had no control of the magic he received from his mother and it would only trigger when he was in a fit of rage as it had been a recurring trend since he was six years old.
Gabriel opened the door slightly to see Finn's room in complete disarray as his desk was flipped over and his bookshelf had been cracked clean in half.
Gabriel fully stepped into her sons' room causing Finn to look up from his spot on the floor as he was sitting and gripping his head in pain and frustration.
"Finn? Honey, you okay?"
"Lied to."
Gabriel tilted her head in confusion not hearing what her son said.
"What's the matter, honey?"
Finn removed his grip on his head and looked up at his mother seeing love and concern in her eyes.
"They lied to me, mom."
"Who lied to you?"
"Momo but not just her everyone! I thought that they were people I could call friends...my friends but they were devils."
Gabriel saw the hatred in her son's eyes which brought a look of fear in hers.
"Devils took away everything! My friend! It almost cost me Fenrir and my arm! I hate them! I hate them all!"
Before Finn could continue his rant Gabriel swiftly chopped her son right over the head as he winced and nursed his bump only to look up and see the sweet eyes of his mother replaced with green orbs filled with anger as Finn closed his eyes and expected a smack from his mother but instead he found himself hugged in between his mother's large chest as she stroked his hair in a soft and loving manner.
"Finn, dear. Do you remember when you met shalba in the cave?"
Finn silently nodded agreeing with his mother.
"Now how long have you known Momo?"
Finn lifted his head up from his mother's embrace and looked her in her soft green eyes.
"Not even a week. At best two or three days."
Finn then let his head fall back into his moms' chest.
"Then tell me, do you believe that Momo or the other devils would act the same? Honey I always tell you never let the actions of one dictate how you view everyone else."
Finn stayed quiet and began thinking before it came full circle as he began crying while still in his mother's embrace as Gabriel lightly stroked her son's hair as he let everything out.
"I-I'm a jerk mom! I insulted Momo and everyone else and I-I was a jackass!"
Normally Gabriel would scold her son on his language but this time she didn't say a word as Finn cried throughout the evening as Gabriel simply let Finn use her as a shoulder to cry on.
Rachel walked up the stairs to her brothers' room to see why neither her mom or Finn had come down for dinner however when she opened the door she saw her little brother with puffy tears eyes cuddling up to their mom as Finn was wrapped in her embrace with both of them fast asleep.
Rachel then chuckled as then went back downstairs put the food in the fridge then went back upstairs and joined her family in bed as the three of them slept through the night.
-line break-
A week had passed since the incident and Momo had kept to herself a lot to the concern of her fellow peerage members as she hadn't shown up after school for any meetings in the student council room for a while.
Momo was walking through the halls with her hair shadowing her eyes keeping to herself.
"Momo! Momo!"
She looked up hearing her name called causing her to turn around only to see Finn sprinting towards her as she turned on her heels and kept walking.
"Wait Momo! I wanna talk to you!"
Momo stopped walking as Finn who couldn't stop his momentum slammed into her back as he looked up and saw her eyes that were once bright blue orbs had been replaced with dejected, heartbroken, and confusion.
"What do you want? I thought you didn't speak with my kind."
Finn recoiled as he heard the venom in her voice.
"I know what I said upset you but…"
'SMACK!'
Finn stumbled backward as Momo gave him a hard slap across the face.
"Upset me? Upset me?! Do you think a simple apology will fix the damage your words did to me?! You broke my heart you asshole! I didn't want to lie to you! I did want to be your friend I did and I can't explain why but...but-"
Before she could finish Finn wrapped the girl in a massive hug not letting go.
"I'm sorry okay. I truly am and if I could I'd go back and punch the other me in the face and tell him to shut up. I shouldn't have let something that happened in the past stop me from making friends even if they're somewhat human like me. So Momo could we start over? Please?"
Momo looked at Finn as she dried her tears as his eyes showed nothing but honest sincerity and a true urge to reconcile with her.
Momo then laughed and it was a genuine happy laugh.
"I think I'd like that."
Finn then released her as Momo turned around as her eyes showed she was back to her old self.
'Finn Dameron. I don't want to believe it but I think I can now confirm it. I think I'm falling for you and in such a short time span as well. I truly am a simple girl aren't I?'
Momo then smiled as she bowed to Finn.
"Hello. I'm Momo Hanakai pleasure to meet you."
Finn smiled as he extended his arm for a handshake.
"Names Finn Dameron but you can call me Finn. Nice to meet ya."
It was then that Momo's nose picked up something sweet as she looked at Finn with a puzzled expression.
"Finn. What've you got that smells so sweet?"
"Oh that. Hold on."
Finn then reached into his bag and pulled out a small cardboard box and opened it up to reveal cookies.
"I asked my mom and Rachel to help me bake some apology cookies. Want one?"
Momo grabbed one and took a bite as her eyes lit up at the taste as she finished the whole thing.
"Not bad."
"Thanks now I gotta go find Zar and Yuffie and tell'em I'm sorry."
"No need dude."
"Yeah, you don't have to apologize to us."
Finn turned around to see his two club members and fellow bladers standing behind him.
The three bladers ran towards each other and did a brief group hug.
"I'm sorry guys. I really am."
Yuffie smiled as she hugged Finn tight before she hopped up onto her captains' shoulders.
"You're fine Finn. Zar and I were just worried about you."
Zar scoffed.
"I knew he'd be fine. I wasn't concerned in the slightest."
Yuffie then had the biggest shit-eating grin on her face.
"You sure~ Cause you seemed pretty worried this last week."
Zar then turned around a comedic yet angry expression on his face.
"What?! Oh, come here you!"
Yuffie hopped off Finns back then began running in circles trying to chase the short blader of venus.
Finn then remembered one more thing to take care of.
"That's right I have to apologize to Kaicho and Rias too. So let's go you guys to the student council room!"
Zar and Yuffie pumped their fists in the air as Momo found herself chuckling again at their antics.
""Yeah!""
-line break-
Student Council Room
Finn along with Zar, Yuffie, and Momo arrived in the student council room and lucky for him everyone was still present.
Before anyone in the room could speak Finn bowed his head and began talking.
"I'm sorry Kaicho and everyone else. I should have given you all a chance."
Sona sighed before she looked at Momo who was smiling which no one had seen her do in a week as Sona herself smiled a little before her face went back to its stoic expression.
"I accept your apology."
"Now I know that...wait what?"
"I said I accept your apology and just like I told everyone else it was on you on whether or not you came around."
Finns' face went blank for a minute before he recomposed himself.
"Oh. Well, do you guys still want some apology cookies I made?"
Finn opened the box he brought and to his delight, each member of the student council took one and had a smile on their face.
Momo then tapped Finns' shoulder as she handed him a piece of paper.
"Uh, Momo. What's this?"
Momo chuckled at his reaction.
"It's my club submission form for the bey club."
Finn tilted his head in confusion.
"Why do I need this? I always considered you apart of the club."
Finn was about to tear it up but Tsubaki stopped him.
"Finn-san. You need this in order to confirm membership in your club."
"Oh...okay."
Then Finn felt someone tap his shoulder causing him to turn around revealing the person to be Reya.
"Here Finn-san~ You'll need this."
Reya playfully winked at the boy to Momo's displeasure as Reya skipped before standing next to Momo and whispered in her ear.
"Don't worry Momo you can have Finn-san. I've got my eye on someone already."
Momo followed Reya's line of sight over to Zar causing her to chuckle.
"Good Luck Reya. If you've got your eye on Zar you'll need it."
"Same to you Momo."
Finn took the two membership forms looked them over then walked over and handed them to Sona for confirmation.
Finn then pointed at Zar and Yuffie but Sona already knew what he was going to ask.
"While Zar and Yuffie would normally need forms for membership I'll let it slide this once but your last two members will need forms of membership."
Finn tilted his head in confusion.
"But Kaichou we have five members...Me, Zar, Yuffie, Momo, and Reya."
Sona adjusted her glasses before speaking again.
"I said I would recognize you as an official club if you had five members and since Momo and Reya are not bladers you are still two members short."
Finn hung his head in disappointment until he felt Momos' hand on his shoulder as he looked up at her.
"It's okay Finn. We'll find two members soon."
Finn then hopped back up as his mood did a complete 180 with him back on his feet.
"Alright! Then my next order of business is to apologize to Rias and her friends as well."
-line break-
ORC clubroom
Finn and the rest of the beyclub along with the now two new members Momo and Reya were making their way to the ORC so Finn could apologize for what he had said but the group stopped when they saw a bright orange light coming from the room.
Finn fearing that it was a fire or something else dangerous, he picked up the pace and ran to the club room with everyone else following behind.
As soon as Finn and the bey club entered the room, they found that the source of the bright light wasn't a fire but a person.
He was a tall and handsome young man in his early 20's with short blond hair and dark blue eyes. His outfit consists of a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right with matching pants and black dress shoes. Underneath his open blazer was a white dress shirt that is not fully buttoned as it was just one button short, giving a slight view to his chest.
"Tell me Rias is this little group your entire peerage?"
Rias narrowed her blue eyes at Riser before she answered him.
"Yes, they are."
Riser laughed before he snapped his fingers then to the surprise of Finn, Zar and Yuffie the room lit up again but this time when the lit died down there were a bunch of girls in the room instead.
"Riser has a full set."
However, as Finn's eyes went over the group one person caught his attention.
She was a beautiful young girl with dark blue eyes. She has long blonde hair tied into twin tails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose. Her main attire was a light purple dress with dark purple accents and a blue bow at the front. At the back, three feather-like extensions mimicking a bird's tail protruding from the dress.
Finn narrowed his eyes at the girl.
'Is she…? No there's no way it's her but if it is?"
Finn leaned in closer however so did Zar and Yuffie.
"What's going on in there?"
"I wanna see to guys. Let me see."
Before Momo could interfere the three bladers fell face-first into the room getting everyone's attention.
"Ow guys get off."
"We're trying Finn."
"Yeah we're trying but it's hard."
Finn looked up to see the surprised look of Rias and the unamused look of Riser.
"Hi, Rias. How's it going."
"Finn, what're you doing here?"
Finn chuckled as he stood up dusting himself off.
"Well I came to apologize to you guys but I think you're busy."
Finn then looked over to Riser tilting his head in confusion then looked back at Rias.
"So, Rias who's this guy? This guy your friend or something?"
Rias scoffed at Finns' statement.
"Hardly Finn."
"Okay."
Finn eyes then turned to the girl he saw earlier until something finally clicked.
"What are you looking at human."
"Oh sorry but uh who're you?"
The girl scoffed as she flicked a strand of her hair out of the way.
"In case you must know I am Ravel Phenex."
Then for Finn, it finally clicked.
"I knew it! I thought I recognized you from somewhere but now I can say for certain. Your one of the turbo four Phi right?"
Ravel's eyes went wide and her breath hitched in her throat for a moment before she regained composure.
Issei then spoke up diverting the rooms attention.
"Dude I think you're losing it. She said her name was Ravel."
Finn shook his head.
"No I'm certain of it although it was her stage name there's no doubt in my mind. She's one of the turbo-four with the bey Revive Phoenix. I'm right aren't I?"
Ravel sighed before she snapped her fingers as small flame appeared and when the flame died down in its place was a Beyblade.
The beys energy layer featured a bird in the center and four feathered blades that make up the bird's wings, representing the Layer's namesake; the mythical immortal bird, the Phoenix. The beys forge disk had an even number of core disks and it had a symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. Each side features five protrusions, each molded into the shape of a "10". The performance tip featured a wide ball-shaped tip that sits at the standard height composed of POM thermoplastic and surrounded by a ring of rubber, akin to Atomic's free-spinning ring.
This bey was none other than the defense type Revive Phoenix which belonged to Ravel Phenex of the Turbo Four.
This time it was Zar who interjected.
"Wait,wait timeout. You mean she's one of those supreme four dudes?"
"No not the supreme four the turbo four."
Yuffie tilted her head in confusion.
"Who are they?"
"Much like the supreme four consists of Shu,Xander,Zack, and Lui. The Turbo four consists of four bladers who are equal if not stronger than the supreme four as some people say."
Ravel scoffed at his statement and was about to put Revive Phoenix away but Finn stopped her.
"Ravel Phenex...battle me."
"Pass."
Finn narrowed his eyes at her.
"Why the rejection? Is it because you know your gonna be rusty in the arena or…"
"Get real human. I don't battle those who are below me like you."
"...or is it because Lui beat and embarrassed you."
After Finn finished his sentence Ravels eyes narrowed in anger at the mention of that incident.
"You need to shut up. Now."
"Is it because I'm right? After Lui beat you in that match instead of getting back up you just quit and left the world of Beyblade. That day you were no phoenix;you were a chicken."
Ravel didn't say a word as a red and orange colored aura surrounded her signifying her anger.
"What'd you want?"
"I want to show you that the world of Beyblade has changed and that there are many more strong bladers that can beat you."
Ravel scoffed as she clutched Revive Phoenix tight in her hand.
"I challenge you to a match Ravel but we're going to do it on my terms."
Both Fenrir and Phoenix began to glow brightly in their bladers hands.
"Fine but I should at least know your name before I crush you."
"Its Finn. Finn Dameron."
"Very well Finn I accept. But don't go crying to your friends if you lose."
Both Finn and Ravel stared each other down as Finn had a dark blue while Ravel had a dark red light orange aura as the current people in the room swore that they saw Fenrir and a Phoenix behind their respective bladers however before the tension could escalate Finn turned to his left to see another new face in the room that he hadn't noticed before.
She was a beautiful young woman appearing to be in her early twenties with back-length silver hair that featured a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down which ends in twin braids and silver eyes.
Her main attire was a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
"Oh hello sorry, I didn't notice you."
The woman turned her attention to Finn.
"There's no need to apologize young man. You are Finn correct?"
"Yeah, but how'd you know my name?"
"My Lady Rias discussed her brief encounter with you."
Finn then smiled as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Wow, Rias I didn't know you talked to your friends about me."
Rias smiled at Finn's positivity before he turned his attention back to the silver-haired women.
"Oh yeah I don't think I got your name lady."
"Very well. I am Grayfia Lucifuge."
Finn smiled at her.
"You already know my name so there's no need to introduce myself. Is it true that Rias and this guy will fight in this rating game thing?"
Grayfia nodded.
"They will only compete if Lady Rias agrees to it."
Riser then laughed getting everyone's attention.
"It doesn't matter even if Rias accepts the rating game she is still a rating game virgin, therefore, she has no chance of winning the rating game against Riser at all."
Issei hearing enough of Riser's stuck up and cocky attitude got in the face of the Phenex.
"I've had it with you and cocky attitude! I'm not waiting for the rating game since I'm gonna kick your ass right now you shitty piece of fried chicken!"
Riser scoffed not even bothering to acknowledge Issei's challenge.
"Riser has no interest in dealing with a lowly pawn like you. Mira take care of this trash."
"Yes, Lord Riser."
Moving to intercept Issei was one of Risers pawns who was a young girl with blue hair and light brown eyes. Her hair was styled with four short ponytails, with two of the four-pointed up and the remaining two pointed down. The front of her hair featured split bangs going across her forehead, with side bangs framing her face. She wore a white haori with a red obi, which is worn under a red happi coat. She wore bandages on her forearms and shins and had black guards over her hands. For footwear, she wore a pair of zōri.
Before Issei could overcome his surprise Mira slammed the wooden staff into his gut before launching him into the ceiling as his body recoiled upon impact before slamming on the ground with a hard thud. Rias and Asia ran to his side while Finn, Zar, and Yuffie all winced simultaneously at the impact.
"Grayfia tell my brother that I agree to the rating game."
"Understood Lady Rias."
Finn then interjected himself into the conversation as well.
" would you also be willing to pass along something to her brother as well for me?"
"Certainly but it depends on what you would like me to inform Sirzechs of."
Finn then smiled as he turned to Ravel.
"You did accept my challenge right?"
Ravel turned her head and scoffed.
"Of course I did what's your point?"
Finn then shrugged his shoulders.
"Nothing just wanted to check."
Finn then walked over to Grayfia then whispered something in her ear.
Finn then stepped back as Grayfia then looked Finn in the eyes as she gave her answer.
"I can pass that onto my lord Sirzechs for you."
Finn smiled.
"Thanks Miss Grayfia."
With that Finn walked out of the room with the rest of the bey club following him behind.
Zar then questioned his friend when they were finally out of the room.
"Dude what'd you ask her?"
Finn smiled as he turned around.
"I'll tell you guys tomorrow but I'm going home for now so see ya."
-line break-
Finns House.
As soon as Finn got home he pulled out his phone and began dialing as the phone began ringing as Finn waited for a response.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Shu. It's me."
"Finn? What's up? I haven't heard from you in a while."
"You got a few minutes?"
"Why what's wrong?"
"Nothing I just need you to listen."
Finn then explained to Shu everything that had happened.
"I see. Sure you can count on it."
Finn smiled over the phone.
"Thanks, Shu."
Finn then dialed Wakiya repeated what happened with Shu.
Finn was about to head to bed when a silver magic circle appeared in his room as Grayfia appeared.
"Hello, again Finn."
"Hello, Grayfia. What's up?"
"Finn, I discussed what you told me with my lord Sirzechs and he has decided that he would like to see it happen so therefore on the day before the rating you and Ravel Phenex will have a Beyblade in the arena of your choosing and both Lady Rias and Riser Phenex must be in attendance with their peerages."
Finn smiled and bowed in response.
"Thank you Miss Grayfia. I appreciate you and your master's understanding."
Grayfia smiled a bit although Finn didn't notice.
"Also to let you know I will inform both Lady Rias and Riser Phenex the same situation I told you."
"Thank you and tell your master I said thanks."
"Your thanks will be putting on a show for the underworld as well as the public of Japan."
"I will."
Grayfia nodded as she teleported through the magic circle.
'10 days huh? Okay, no time to waste.'
As the days passed Finn kept training nonstop while trying to refurbishing the arena meanwhile in Beigoma Shu and Wakiya had been helping out Finn by spreading the word about the match as well as helping refurbish the arena while Valt and the others were trying to hype up and get the word out. In Kuoh the beyclub was doing the same thing as Momo and Reya were using their familiars to get the word out as both bladers were training nonstop until the 9th day arrived as Finn and Ravel's showdown had arrived.
-line break-
Kuoh Beyblade arena refurbished
Finn walked towards the arena as he felt butterflies in his stomach but he forced them down as he entered the arena into the back locker rooms which he had to admit were very well furnished as he took a seat on one of the benches as he pulled out Fenrir looking over his partner.
"This is it, partner. We're going to face one of the turbo four tonight. I'm counting on you so you ready?"
Fenrir then glowed acknowledging his partner causing Finn to smile.
"Alright, partner lets go."
[Welcome all you beyfans to a sold-out arena here in Kuoh where we have a match for the ages! I'm your host Blader DJ and I gotta ask you beyfans one thing… Are you ready for a match which will bring the house down?]
The crowd responded in an uproar as the excitement was in the air.
[Enough of me talking let's get ready for the battle of the century beyfans!]
The bey club had easily found their seats as Zar had bought himself a big cheeseburger to Reya's disapproval.
Zar and Yuffie looked down to see that Rias and the ORC had arrived as well as Riser and his peerage too.
Elsewhere per Finn's invitation, Shu had come to see the match as had Wakiya who sat in his own personal seat in the arena.
[In the blue corner he's a former blader from the Beigoma Academy Beyclub now at Kuoh Academy please give a welcome to Finn Dameron and his partner the wild wolf Fang Fenrir!]
Finn came out as a brief smoke screen as he looked around at the whole arena as he shook off his nerves as he walked towards the arena as he heard cheering causing him to look into the crowd and see the beyclub cheering him on as he also saw Shu and Wakiya arrived as well.
Then on the red side flames shot up from the side.
[In the red corner making her return debut to the arena. Please welcome one of the turbo four she went by the stage name Phi but now please welcome Ravel and her bey the legendary bird of fire; Revive Phoenix.]
Ravel came into the arena wearing different attire than when she first met everyone for the first time as she wore simple shoes and pink and yellow shorts and a red and orange tank top.
"So you showed up human."
"Don't be so grouchy Ravel besides your not gonna get a win without a fight from me."
Ravel scoffed.
"Hurry up and take aim already."
"Sure."
The arena fell in silence as both bladers got into their positions as Finn crouched close to the arena while Ravel stepped to the side and flipped a strand of her blonde hair behind her head.
[All the bladers in the arena and watching around the world start the countdown with me!]
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Let it Rip!"
Finn pivoted on his back foot and launched Fenrir while Ravel jumped and spun 360 degrees as she launched as both beys landed in the arena taking off as Revive Phoenix wasted no time in going for the center as Fenrir began circling its opponent.
[And they're off! With Revive Phoenix being the defense bey that it is it immediately goes for the center while Fenrir circles its opponent waiting for the right time to strike.]
"Let's not waste any time! Go for it Fenrir!"
Fenrir then made a beeline for Phoenix only for the bey to repel the attack with ease.
"Grrrr. One more time Fenrir!"
Fenrir then rushed in again only to be repelled with ease.
Ravel scoffed at Finn's attempts.
"You call those attacks? Let me show what real strength looks like. Burn the mutt away Phoenix!"
Revive Phoenix began spinning as it Rolled from the center with ease picking up speed heading towards Fenrir.
"Wrap this up. Phoenix Break!"
Phoenix's Friction Performance Tip's rubber edge ground against the stadium and gained a huge speed and power boost as it rushed Fenrir.
[There it is folks! One of Phoenix's signature moves. Is the big dog going out to pasture or will Fenrir find a way to counter this move?]
Finn had little time to react as Phoenix slammed into Fenrir sending it sky high as Ravel had a smug look on her face.
"It's over."
However, Finn began laughing to Ravel's confusion.
"Have you lost it human?"
"Nah its the opposite my plan worked like I hoped it would."
"Let's go Fenrir! Diving Claw!"
Ravel and everyone else looked up to see that Fenrir had survived the attack and was coming down with incredible as it hit Revive Phoenix dead on as an explosion ensued causing most people in the stands to cover their eyes.
[W-What has happened the entire arena has been engulfed in bright light! Who came out on top in the first round was it phoenix or Fenrir?]
When the dust cleared phoenix was no longer spinning on the outside with Fenrir wobbling in the arena as the ref made the call.
"Fang Fenrir with a ring out finish. That's one point for Finn Dameron."
[Unbelievable! Finn scores the first point on Revive Phoenix and Ravel with an incredible move can he pull it off in the 2nd battle?]
While everyone else was murmuring Shu held his chin in thought over Finn's plan.
'I see. It wasn't a bad move on his part. He used the momentum and power of the phoenix break to launch Fenrir high enough then had it slam down on Phoenix at an angle to launch it out of the arena. It's a good strategy but also a risky one at that since Fenrir could've easily been launched out of the arena.'
Finn looked in the stands to see the bey club cheering him on causing him to smile.
"How'd you like that Ravel?
Ravel then began laughing before she made the number two on her hand.
"In the next match, I'll burst you for two points."
Finn then grit his teeth as he got in his ready stance as Ravel did the same
"Second Battle."
[Alright bladers the second round. Will Finn pull out another miracle or will Ravel dash his hopes and burn the fur off this wild dog?]
"Bladers set."
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Let it Rip!"
Unknown to everyone except the devils Ravel had a small magic circle under feet as she used it to give her an extra lift off the ground to everyone's surprise.
[Unreal what height from Ravel!]
Ravel still spun during her launch.
"Go Phoenix! Revive Impact!"
As Phoenix was in free fall Finn swore it looked like a meteor falling to earth to his dismay.
"Move Fenrir!"
Unforentuly for Finn it didn't happen fast enough has Phoenix slammed into Fenrir sending it upward as Fenrir bursted in front of his eyes to everyone's shock while Riser just had a confident smirk on his face.
"Revive Phoenix with a burst finish that's two points for Ravel."
[Amazing! A burst finish just like she predicted! How will Finn respond to this major turn around?]
Finn had to get his head together as he slapped himself a few times.
'Alright, Finn. Focus...Focus on the battle.'
"Third battle."
Both bladers got into their stances as they prepared to launch again.
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Let it Rip!"
Once again both beys launched into the arena with Phoenix going towards the center but Finn had other ideas.
'Not this time!'
"Fenrir! Pack rush!"
Fenrir then switched gears as it managed to push Phoenix from the center then began a barrage of hits.
[Here we go folks! Fenrir begins a barrage of hits! Boom! Pow! Bang! Can Phoenix respond to this unrelenting assault?]
"Nothing to fear. Phoenix."
Revive Phoenix then repelled Fenrir and raced across the arena trying to get some breathing room.
"Like hell, you're getting away! Fenrir!"
Fenrir then glowed bright blue as a flash of light came from the bey as only the supernatural and bladers saw Fenrir come from the bey as he howled a cry for battle.
Ravel for the first time in the match smiled as just like Finn she was surrounded by her own aura except it was dark red and orange.
"Revive Phoenix!"
Phoenix then glowed red and orange combination as bright light almost like fire rose from the bey to reveal the mythical bird of legend. The bird had red armor with silver lining highlights and in its chest was a bright orange flame. Connecting its wings were gold and blue-green bracers. On its head was gold V shape with a blue-green gem in the middle and it had blue eyes. It let out a loud screech. At this, the smile of Riser only grew seeing his little sister wield the symbol for their household.
Phoenix and Fenrir clashed causing an explosion and a gust of wind to occur in the arena then during their clash the armor layer for Phoenix came off as Issei began to get excited.
"Hell yeah! He did it he burst phoenix!"
"Not quite Issei."
The pawn turned to Rias who had a look of concern.
"If that were the case the ref would've called it but he didn't."
"So that means that the piece that came off was only a shell?"
"So, it would seem."
Finn saw the piece of armor fly up as Ravel's face adopted a wicked grin.
"Finish it Phoenix! Revive Crush!"
The piece of armor came down on Fenrir as it was caught between Phoenix and the piece of armor causing it to burst to Finn's horror.
"Revive Phoenix with a bust finish. That's two points for Ravel. The score of 4-1 the winner is Ravel!"
[What an upset! Ravel comes back in both rounds with a burst finish talk about a crushing defeat. We'd expect no less from one of the turbo four and on her return debut no less. What a battle! What a contest! I'm blader DJ signing off beyfans!]
Riser smiled then laughed as he turned towards Rias and her peerage.
"Like Riser said, dear Rias… My little sister would destroy your 'champion' now in the rating game your fate will be the same."
With that Riser and his peerage left while the beyclub, the ORC, along with Shu and Wakiya could look at Finn as the boy was down on his hands and knees as ravel walked over to the fallen boy and scoffed.
"Looks like I'm still on top. You're weak I can't believe I had to use all three of my moves on you."
With that Ravel walked off to join her brother and the others and Finn picked up and reassembled Fenrir ignoring his friends and the others leaving the arena with only one thought in his mind.
'Where did I go wrong? Where?'
A/N: Hey guys its AJ Styles! Sorry for the long wait I just started college and I am busy but I try and make time. For this chapter I wanted to just do Finns back story a bit but then I knew it'd be longer to do the battle with Ravel in the other chapter so I figured why not combine both. Now for those of you who watch Beyblade burst turbo yes I did make a dxd turbo four and Ravel is one of them. Now, why is she like Phi? Well, when I thought about it both Phi and Ravel hold themselves in high regard not to mention they are both cocky and arrogant so I think it fits. Also, you guys probably wanna know what Finn's harem looks like well say no more because this is what I have so far.
Finn's harem: Momo, Ravel, Marion, Kuroka,Kunou...
That's all I have so far and the next chapter will be the rematch so stay tuned for that. As always Favorite, Follow and Review ad till next time. See ya ;)
