ORC Clubroom
Ravel sat on the couch opposite to Rias as the rest of the club stood behind her.
"I'm surprised to see you here Ravel. We all thought that after your incident that you would still be recovering."
Ravel fidgeted with her hands in her lap before she looked up.
"I recovered quickly besides I had too."
Everyone looked at her confused as Asia broke the silence.
"B-But why? Shouldn't rest be important so you can get better?"
Ravel sighed as she fidgeted with her hands again before answering.
"How else can I fix my loss to Finn if I don't improve?"
Ravel then pulled out Revive Phoenix to the surprise of everyone as Issei stepped back a bit.
"You kept that? I know you guys are prideful but you shouldn't keep the dangerous possession Beyblade in your pocket!"
Ravel looked down at Revive Phoenix as she tucked it back away.
It was then that Akeno interjected.
"Your parents were okay with you keeping Phoenix?"
Ravel shook her head.
"Both my father and my brother were very adamant about me getting rid of it. No one in the house of Phenex how revive phoenix was made but it has been passed down in my family for generations choosing its blader through resonance."
Kiba spoke up as Ravel turned to meet his blue gaze.
"Sorry to interrupt you Ravel but who had Revive Phoenix before you? Was it Lord Phenex?"
Ravel shook her head as she continued talking.
"No, actually it belonged to my mother first."
Everyone's jaw nearly hit the floor at her statement as none of them could believe or picture Lady Phenex behind the launcher and battling in a bey arena.
Shaking off their surprise everyone turned their attention back to Ravel however Koneko looked to her left and saw a small blue box as there was a sweet smell coming from it.
"Yo. What's in the box?"
Ravel turned towards Koneko and turned her head with a huff.
"None of your business."
Akeno had a mischievous smile on her face.
"Ara, Ara I think our little Ravel wants to reward her hero for saving her. The way she's dressed says it all."
Everyone looked closer at her attire which was the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, with the addition of a black sweater over her dress shirt and both her uniform and the black sweater were well ironed out with no wrinkles present.
Ravel turned bright red and tilted her head down so Rias and the others couldn't see her face but it didn't work out so well.
Ravel then stood straight up and grabbed her box as she was proceeding to leave but not before she gave a bow to the ORC and left.
Rias smiled at this as Ravel's figure left through the door frame.
"Well, that was enlightening."
Asia looked to her right and saw Issei was sad to her confusion.
"What's wrong Issei?"
"It's not fair! Why is Finn getting all the chicks huh? At this rate, he's gonna build a harem faster than me and he doesn't even know the joy of seeing a naked woman's body!"
Issei's mini-rant caused Koneko to scowl, Kiba to sweatdrop at his friend, Asia proceed to tightly pinch his cheek, Akeno to chuckle, and Rias sighed as she rubbed her temples.
After that everyone else proceeded to leave as now it was just Akeno and Rias in the room.
"What should we do?"
Rias turned to her friend with a look of confusion on her face.
"What do you mean Akeno?"
"You can't tell me that you weren't frightened by Ravel's sudden transformation at the engagement party. We were lucky that Finn was able to stop her."
"What're you really trying to say Akeno."
Akeno sighed as she stops messing with a pile of papers and gently set them down on the table and turned to face Rias.
"We both saw Koneko clutching her pocket out of fear."
"Koneko hasn't used Leopard in years so I'm not concerned."
"What if she does battle again and loses control as Ravel did? Will you step in yourself or let Finn handle it again?"
Rias was getting annoyed as she bawled her hand into a fist at her side and clenched her fist tight almost breaking the skin on her palm.
"What's your point?"
Akeno got up and looked Rias dead in her eyes.
"Your too lax Rias. If Ravel or even Koneko were to lose control you'd rather sit by and let someone else handle it!"
"That's not true and you know it Akeno!"
"Are you sure? Maybe you should remove that silver spoon in your mouth and wake up!"
Both females froze at Akeno's last statement as they both backed away from each other as Akeno's hair shadowed over her eyes.
"Bye Rias."
"Akeno wait!"
However, her words fell on deaf ears as Akeno left the room going home for the day.
"Oh, Akeno."
-line break-
Nighttime fell over Kuoh as Akeno sat on her knees in the shrine that she lived in. Her violet eyes held contempt and ambition.
"Rias your my best friend but I'm not going to sit back and do nothing if another incident like Ravel happens again I'm going to do something about it."
Akeno got up from her spot on the floor and walked towards the back of the shrine was a large tooth mounted in place.
As Akeno got closer to the tooth it glowed with a magenta hue around it Akeno had the same aura around her.
Akeno grabbed the tooth as the aura around the tooth and her got a bit brighter.
'Looks like it's finally time. Huh, mom?'
Akeno walked through town until she found the building that she was looking for; a blacksmith shop.
She knocked on the back door a couple of times and waited until the smith answered.
The man rubbed his eyes clearly tired as he was about to go home for the day.
"It's late. Come back tomor-Akeno?"
Akeno smiled at the man.
"Hi, Renji."
The man now dubbed Renji had spiky fire orange hair with red highlights and amber eyes. His current attire was a long sleeve black shirt and a pair of blue jeans along with some black and red boots.
"Akeno you know I love ya like family but it's late. Can't whatever this is wait until morning?"
Akeno shook her head as she pulled out the tooth and showed it to him as his eyes went wide with surprise.
"Isn't that your family's dragon fang? You know from that dragon that bar-"
He was cut off as Akeno glared a hole through him at the mention of her father's name.
"Right sorry. Your dad slayed and kept its fang?"
"Yes, and I want to forge something from it."
Renji looked at her with one eyebrow raised.
"What'd you have in mind?"
"A turbo bey."
Renji's eyes went wide.
"What brought this about?"
"Let's just say I wanna "Level Up"."
Renji nodded as he took the fang from Akeno and went into his shop.
"It'll take a few hours, so you'll have to be patient."
Akeno smiled and nodded as she went back home and sat on the steps waiting for her turbo bey.
-line break-
Akeno sat for a few hours when she saw Renji coming with a small black box in his hands.
"Sorry for the wait. May I present your turbo bey."
Renji opened up the box to reveal the three parts of the turbo bey.
Starting with the top of the Layer features a dragon's head meant to represent the beast, a dragon, and the Layer's namesake; the mythical Salamander which feeds on and lives in fire. In its design, it had ten blades and five of them were lined with metal. Laying next to the energy layer was the forge disc. It was a forge disc number 12 that like other even-numbered Core Discs, is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Frame. Each side featured three protrusions with the center protrusion in each set featuring molding in the shape of a "12" and four holes in the center, akin to the 6 number forge disc. Lastly laying next to the forge disc was the performance tip. The bey's performance tip featured an adjustable wide ball tip with two settings, Defense and Attack, which are switched by sliding the bottom portion of the tip, akin to a mix of the M145 Spin Track of Metal Fight Beyblade and Massive.
Akeno smiled as she picked up each individual bey part and put the pieces together.
"Ufufufu. It's finally done. You and I will do great things Hell Salamander~."
Unseen by Renji a dark magenta shade zigzag mark appeared on her left cheek as it then vanished like it was never there.
"Thank you, Renji."
"Sure Akeno any time."
Akeno bowed to the blacksmith as she proceeded back home under the dead of night.
Finally, home Akeno set Hell Salamander down on the table then looked at her long ponytail before deciding on one last loose end to take care of before she would start her day tomorrow.
-line break-
Asia walked through the schoolyard enjoying the nice day today as she had arrived at school a bit earlier than she normally did. She mainly wanted to play a bit with her familiar Rassei as she quickly looked around her surroundings making sure no one else was present as she summoned the little sprite dragon.
Rassei looked up at Asia and smiled as it nuzzled into her chest bringing delight to Asias' face however she then froze as she felt like something was watching her like a menacing shadow silhouette with piercing yellow eyes was behind her causing her to swiftly turn around only to be met by a stranger.
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss. Can I help you?"
"Ara, Ara. You can't recognize your Onee-sama Asia?"
Asia blinked a few times before it finally clicked.
"Akeno-san! Sorry I didn't recognize you. I like your haircut. It's a lot shorter now."
Akeno smiled at the former nun while Rassi wouldn't stop growling at her to Asia's confusion.
"Rassi be nice. That's akeno. She's our friend."
"Asia how wrong you are."
Asia looked at Akeno confusion written on her face.
"W-What are you talking about?"
"I no longer see a need to associate myself with you weaklings. As of now, I'm done with the club and all of you."
Asia was at a loss for words at Akeno's statement as she tried to approach Akeno however she was stopped when a lighting bolt was shot towards her as it struck the ground between her legs as she fell down on her butt.
"I thought I told you that you and I are no longer associated. After all, I don't stay with crying, worthless, weaklings."
Asia's face morphed from surprise to fear as she looked up at Akeno who now had a menacing smile on her face as Asia swore she saw what looked like a large salamander behind Akeno causing her to back away in fear as a few tears spilled from her eyes.
Akeno walked away from the now terrified Asia as she held Hell Salamander in her hand as it glowed a dark shade of magenta.
"It's time to take you for a test run. Let's give them a crimson show Salamander~"
-line break-
The bey club was rather quiet mainly because Finn was running late, so in order to pass the time Momo and Reya were playing a game of cards while Zar and Yuffie were practicing in the arena that was originally in the park but both bishops moved it into the gym via a teleportation circle.
Variares and Quetzalcoatl continued clashing in the arena until Variares knocked Quetzalcoatl out of the arena getting Yuffie's attention.
"Hey, Yuffie pay attention."
"Oh, I'm sorry Zar."
Yuffie walked over and picked up Quetzalcoatl off the gym floor.
"Sorry, Zar. It's just not the same without Finn here."
Zar nodded in agreement as he picked up Variares.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Finn normally brings the energy and he's always the first one to the club."
Reya then spoke up from her card game with Momo.
"We're not an official club yet Zar-san. We still need two more bladers in order for Kaicho to officially recognize us."
A tick mark appeared on Zar's head as he balled his hand into a fist.
"Yeah, I got it! You don't gotta keep reminding me!"
Reya could only chuckle at his outburst.
"Ufufu~ Your so cute when you get mad Zar-san."
"Whatever Reya. Quit being weird!"
Reya shrugged her shoulders and went back to the card game with momo as she tried to strike up a conversation with her fellow bishop.
"So Momo-san. Is it true that Bülent is really staying with Finn at his house?~"
Momo could tell by the tone of her voice she was smug not to mention she was using her hand of cards to hide a shit-eating grin.
"You better act fast Momo. After all, everyone knows that a master and his made can be very naughty when they're left alone with each other.~"
Reya felt Momo's aura of malice but she simply smiled at her.
"Shut up and deal Reya. Besides Finn isn't that kind of boy."
Reya simply smiled at Momo's embarrassment as she looked back at her hand.
The mundane atmosphere of the bey club was interrupted as Ravel entered the gym once again wearing her Kuoh girls uniform with the black sweater over her dress shirt.
Everyone stopped their activities and turned to the youngest member of the Phenex family.
"H-Hello."
Zar and Yuffie greeted the girl with smiles.
"Hi, Ravel."
"Hello."
Momo got up from her spot and walked over to Ravel curious as to why she was here.
"Hello, Ravel. I'm surprised you're not still resting."
"Rias told me the same thing but I'm not here for small talk."
"Then why are you here if not for small talk?"
Ravel looked away as her cheeks were once again dusted red.
"A-As of this moment I'm the newest member of the Kuoh Academy beyclub."
Momo and Reya's eyes went wide with surprise while Zar and Yuffie could be happier.
"Alright! Finally, we got another member!"
"Yay! Yay! This is so cool! We only need one more person now right?"
Momo nodded to the two bladers since now that Ravel joined the club they only needed one more blader for Sona to officially recognize their club as official.
Reya smiled at Ravel as she got an idea.
"Is that the only reason you wanna join the club? I think our little Phenex wants to meet her hero~ Right?"
Ravel turned bright red as she looked down trying to avert Reya's teasing gaze but it wasn't working out well.
"O-Of course not! I only joined this club to avenge my loss to that second rate blader."
Reya put a finger to her lips and tapped her face a few times before continuing her questioning.
"Really? I guess that makes sense after all that would explain why your uniform is so nicely pressed and your hair is also done as well. Looks like you washed it too~"
At this point, Ravel's face was becoming redder than Rias' hair.
"S-Shut up!"
Momo put a hand on the shoulder of her fellow bishop glaring at her a bit.
"That's enough Reya. We don't want to upset our newest member on their first day."
Reya smiled as she backed off but not before whispering into Momo's ear.
"Looks like you got some more competition Momo-san~"
Momo rolled her eyes at her friend's statement as everyone turned their attention to the gym entrance as Finn finally arrived with Bülent by his side like the faithful and loyal maid that she was.
"Hey, guys. Sorry, I'm late. I had to do some extra work for the math teacher."
"Master. You wouldn't have had to stay after if you stayed awake in class."
"That's not my fault. Whenever I go to sleep you always climb in my bed!"
Both Momo and Ravel did a double-take at what Finn just said as Reya was covering her mouth to stifle a laugh as Zar and Yuffie only looked at each other in confusion.
However, Finn's attention was diverted when he noticed Ravel in the room as he walked over to her.
"Hey, Ravel. What're you doing here?"
Now that she could see Finn a bit better Ravel blushed at how cute he was as she looked away.
"W-Well I'm the newest member of the bey club."
Finn's eyes went wide as he scooped her up and hugged her tightly once again causing Ravel to blush crimson at how close their faces were as he finally let her go.
"Now then it's time for the beyclub initiation!"
"Yeah!"
Zar and Yuffie pumped their fists high in the air.
Ravel looked at the three of them confused.
"Initiation? What kind of Initiation?"
Finn smiled.
"Nothing bad but whenever we get a new member the new member has to face the current members of the club in a gauntlet match."
Ravel's eyes scanned over the three bladers as she then smiled.
"Well then let's get started."
"Alright!"
The four bladers moved to the arena as Ravel's "Initiation" match was about to begin as the decided order was Zar, Yuffie, then Finn would go last to his disappointment.
Momo took center stage as she would be officiating the match.
"First Battle."
Both bladers readied their launchers and took aim at the arena as Ravel took several deep breaths.
'I can do this. I won't make the same mistake with Phoenix-like last time. I am in control.'
"Ready...Set"
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Let it Rip!"
Both beys landed in the arena at the same time as Zar wasted no time going right on the attack.
"Let's wrap this up! Go Variares!"
The mars bey rushed towards Phoenix as both beys clash however Phoenix held its ground and warded off Variares.
Ravel moved some of her blonde hair aside.
"It's no fun if you don't try harder you know."
Zar grit his teeth as Variares rushed towards Phoenix again.
"Let's skin this bird! Variares! Sword of Ares!"
The three yellow discs in the fusion wheel retracted as it picked up speed and rushed Phoenix.
"Okay go now!"
Ravel adopted a smug smile as Variares was closing the gap fast.
"Your resonance with Variares is strong but it's not enough to beat me."
"HAAAAAA! Revive Phoenix!"
Both Phoenix and Ravel began to glow bright orange and red as she then snapped her fingers.
"Flamvell guard!"
A ring of fire appeared over its armor as Phoenix's spin speed increased.
Zar simply smiled undeterred by Ravel's new technique.
"Nothing can stop us! Cut through the flames Variares!"
Ares rose from the bey letting out a war cry as he swung his sword down on Phoenix.
"Hold your ground! Phoenix!"
Revive Phoenix burst from the bey letting out a screech as it was ready to face the god of war head-on.
Both avatars clashed engulfing the arena in the light as sparks flew from the clash causing Zar to cover his eyes while Ravel stood still with a smile.
When the light died down and the sparks stopped flying Zar looked behind him to see that Variares had stopped spinning on the outside of the ring as she made the call.
"Variares. Stadium Out. The winner is Ravel."
Ravel smiled as she went down and picked up Phoenix which was still spinning in the center of the arena.
"Hey Zar."
Zar looked back at Ravel wondering if she just wanted to gloat.
"You did well. Battle me again sometime."
Zar smiled at her.
"Sure thing."
Finn ran up to Ravel with stars in his eyes.
"Wow, Ravel! You really are awesome! How'd you do that fire technique that completely stopped Variares?"
Ravel tried to answer but she was too embarrassed at how close Finn's face was to hers as she quickly gave him an excuse.
"I-I'll tell you after the next battle."
"Okay sure."
Finn smiled at her as she turned back to the arena as now Yuffie was up, however before the next battle could start they heard laughter causing them all to turn towards the gym entrance to see Akeno who was missing her signature ponytail.
"Ara, Ara. So this is the beyclub. It's much smaller than I expected."
Finn walked up to Akeno a smile still on his face.
"Hey, Akeno. What're you doing here?"
"Well, I finally completed my turbo bey and I wanted to take it for a spin."
"Really? Your turbo bey is done?!"
Akeno nodded as she walked towards the arena reaching into her pocket and pulling out salamander.
"Meet Hell Salamander. I hope you can give me a good fight~"
Before anyone could object or question it Finn jumped it.
"I'll battle you Akeno. Hey, Bülent can you call the match?"
"Certainly Master~"
Before the battle started both Akeno and Finn handed each other their beys for inspection.
'Fang Fenrir. It has moderate attack power but it's able to temporarily act as a defense type in order to regain stamina. It doesn't matter though since I'll make short work of it.'
'Hell Salamander. Akeno just made this thing but I don't see anything wrong with it.'
Finn then turned Salamander over and noticed that its performance tip could be changed from attack to defense.
'Huh? It can change modes. Must be one of its perks.'
Akeno and Finn then handed each other their beys back.
"Fang Fenrir is quite the bey but that won't be enough to save you."
"I don't need saving."
"We'll see~"
"Ready...Set."
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Let It Rip."
Akeno twisted her body as she launched herself forward as she then turned her body as well as the launcher as she launched Salamander into the arena.
Finn noticed that salamander had a 10 blade wheel.
"Go Salamander."
"Get in there Fenrir."
Both beys clashed head-on creating sparks as they then backed off with Fenrir going to the right and Salamander going to the left which caught the bey club's attention.
"Hey look at that. Her bey can go counterclockwise just like my Variares!"
Yuffie's eyes were wide with amazement while Ravel, Reya, and Momo were surprised that there was another bey other than Variares that can go left.
Akeno wasted no time as a smile came to her face.
"Let's go Salamander!"
Both beys clashed again as Salamander knocked Fenrir into the wall.
"Alright go Fenrir!"
Fenrir glowed blue as it managed to recover but its excessive wobbling was a clear indication of its low stamina.
"Now. Finish it Salamander."
Salamander began picking up speed as it rushed Fenrir slamming into it the wall and sending it into the air.
"Hmph. Looks like victory is mine."
Finn smiled at Akeno's confusion.
"I don't know why your smiling Finn?"
"I'm smiling cause you just set me up nicely Akeno."
"What?"
"It's time."
As Fenrir was spinning in the air Finn began to glow blue as did his bey.
"AHHHHHH! FENRIR!"
Blue Light burst from the bey as Fenrir appeared letting out a mighty howl as the bey landed in the arena and rushed Salamander.
"Go for it! Lightning Crash!"
Fenrir picked up speed as two of the blades glowed blue as it crashed into salamander which was followed by an explosion of blue lightning in the arena blinding everyone.
When the light died down Akeno looked down and saw that salamander had been knocked out of the arena.
Finn smiled as did the rest of the bey club as he scored a point over Akeno.
"Ha! How'd you like that Akeno. I'll take the second round to no problem!"
Akeno picked up salamander and smiled.
"Is that right? Aren't you confident talking to your senpai like that~"
Then unseen by everyone the dark magenta zigzag mark appeared on her left cheek.
"Don't get cocky little shit!"
Everyone recoiled in surprise at Akeno's sudden change in personality as Yuffie hid behind Reya terrified, Zar back up out of fear as did Ravel and Momo, and Finn just looked at her with wide eyes.
"Woah."
Along with the mark on her cheek, Akeno's violet eyes changed to reptile-like slits making them more defined.
"The real battle starts now!"
The "new" akeno then began tinkering with Salamander for a few moments before holding it in front of Finn and the beyclub.
Finn's eyes widened at the first noticeable change which was that now instead of 10 blades like before the wheel changed to five blades.
Finn turned to Momo who was still off-put by Akeno's frightening new attitude change.
"Momo. Momo!"
"Huh? Yeah, Finn-san."
"Call it."
"O-Oh right. Second battle."
"Ready...Set."
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
"Let It Rip!"
Both bladers again launched their beys into the arena except this time when Akeno launched salamander it was moving in the arena wildly bouncing around with no control.
"That's it! Thrash around Salamander!"
"Get in their Fenrir!"
As Fenrir and Salamander were about to collide Salamander bounced over Fenrir to Finns surprise.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere. Salamander!"
Salamander turned around and rushed Fenrir striking the bey head-on and sending it into the wall.
"Ahhh! Fenrir!"
"Don't go down yet! Let loose more Salamander!"
On the sidelines, everyone was off-put by this new version of Akeno.
"Zar, what's going on? I thought she was a nice lady?"
"I-I don't know Yuffie. The moment she switched modes she became someone different."
"Your right Zar-san."
Zar and Yuffie looked towards Reya who held her chin in thought observing Akeno.
"It still doesn't add up how the switch from Salamander's defense mode to attack mode brought this about."
The trio looked towards Ravel who in turn looked down at Revive Phoenix then back at them.
"It's like what happened with me and Phoenix except Akeno appears to have control over whether or not she switches to whatever this new persona is."
The four of them agreed they'd talk about this later and for now focus on giving support to their club captain.
Back in the arena, Finn wasn't doing so well as Salamander had him on the ropes with its attack power.
'This isn't good. I've gotta do something or I'm gonna lose.'
His attention was diverted when he heard laughter coming from Akeno.
"What's up. Something funny?"
"Yeah. It's funny that you think you can beat Salamander. Face it you're a problem I'm going to take care of."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You don't need to understand yet. Just understand it's over. Let's go Salamander!"
"We'll see about that. Fenrir! Lighting Crash!"
Fenrir repeated the same move from last time as it barreled towards salamander intent on a burst.
"SALAMANDER!"
Salamander glowed a dark shade of magenta as a wave of dark magenta, light red, light pink, and purple color rose from the bey as Salamander rose forth breathing a stream of purple flames from its mouth craning its head from right to left spreading the flames as magenta covered flames were running from its head down through the tail. As the flames gave way it's body came into view giving off a more draconic vibe as it hand black armor on the back of its neck and the top of its head as well on its thighs, tail, the upper area of its chest, its shoulders, and overall three of its toes. It had more armor except the color was a light gray and it was on both the right and left wrist stopping past the elbow with gray spikes on top and blue on the bottom for the right arm and blue spikes on top and gray on the bottom for the left arm. There was more gray armor with light blue highlights under the black armor on the lower half of its chest leaving a small opening in the middle. There was more gray armor on its underbelly as well with small gaps in between and two smaller slaps of grey armor at the base of its neck and two more small slabs on its calves. In the center of its chest in between the black armor was a small circular blue gem. On its head in the center of the black armor piece that was more crown-shaped lied another blue gem like the one on its chest as dark magenta flames flickered on top. There were two silver horns sticking out on its cheeks towards the back of its face and it had two short silver barbs in the soles of its feet. Its skin was a light shade of magenta and yellow eyes. Salamander let out a roar as dark magenta colored fire wings came from its back.
"Go Salamander! Swirling Inferno!"
Salamander's five blades began to glow brightly as it was using its operate performance tip which was creating centrifugal force making a flaming tornado.
"Burn it away Salamander!"
Both Salamander and Fenrir collided with their respective moves which were followed by a massive explosion of light as well as creating massive gusts making everyone shield their eyes.
When the dust settled Finn saw Fenrir in the air as his whole world slowed down as Fenrir burst right in front of him before falling to the arena floor around salamander with a smug smile never leaving Akeno's face.
Momo, as well as the beyclub, looked at the sight dejected by the sight as Momo didn't wanna call it but she didn't have a choice.
"W-With a burst finish, Akeno wins with a score of 2-1."
Akeno picked up salamander as her violet eyes had gone back to normal and the zigzag mark was no longer on her face.
"I told you didn't I? You weren't gonna beat me you never could."
Zar was about to jump in and give Akeno a piece of his mind but Reya put a hand on his shoulder telling me no as he'd only make it worse.
Akeno smiled and walked away satisfied with her win.
-line break-
The sun was now setting on Kuoh as Akeno was about to head home until someone stopped her.
"Akeno!"
She turned around as Rias had found her as her eyes were full of anger and confusion.
"Hello, Rias."
"Is what Asia told us true? That you're done with us?"
"Ara, Ara. So Asia spilled about our encounter. Its true Rias as I no longer see fit to hang around a group of weaklings nor do I have time for a red-headed silver spoon princess like yourself."
Rias's face turned to shock as she was on the verge of tears.
"Akeno, please. I-"
She was cut off when a bolt of lightning whizzed past her head and singed a bit of her hair destroying the tree behind her.
"No Rias you listen. I am done with you and everyone else. I am no longer the priestess of thunder I am the crimson empress and with Hell Salamander with me, I will be number 1."
Rias was at a loss for words as she saw behind akeno Hell Salamander surrounded by fire as it roared scaring her.
Akeno turned around enjoying the look of fear on her face before she spoke to her "best friend" one last time.
"Before Rias, I was complacent with my current life of being a queen but Salamander has opened my eyes and now I realize that without always being in your shadow I can ascend to greatness. Farewell Rias Gremory."
With that Akeno turned her back on Rias walking away as Rias fell to her knees cried as her best friend left her sight forever a changed person.

Nighttime Ruins in Greece
A starry night sky shoe overhead in Greece as 5 individuals, for the most part, sat in silence as the two of them were blading, and the other one was training by pulling large rocks, the last one was standing over a cliffside overlooking the rest of the ruined city.
The first person battle in the arena was a 16-year-old male Human/ Dog Yokai with white hair in a ponytail and amber eyes. His dog ears showed on top of his head and his tail was also visible as some of it could be seen behind his coat. His attire was an asymmetric long coat with a hooded stole as the hem of the coat was shaped with a flare like a skirt, the opening on the sleeves made the skin of his upper arm visible with dot buttons bringing visual focus to the coat. The hooded stole was a separate part of the coat. He also wore a pair of black pants and matching boots. This man was Ginga Hanzo one of the guards of hades. His Beyblade was Flame Cerberus. On the opposite side of the arena was an 18-year-old girl with medium length dark green hair that stopped in the middle of her back. Her main attire was a black and red school girl uniform as her top did little to hide her larger assets. Over the uniform, she wore a dark blue jacket which contrasted her uniform due to the clashing colors. Her bey was Evil Befall which was passed down through her family starting with her grandfather who had passed away years ago. This girl was Maya and she was the second guardian of Hades.
Training off to the side was a tall muscular individual with short spiky dark blue hair, a medium skin tone, and purple eyes with a black ring around each pupil. He wore a dark brown short sleeve jacket and a black shirt underneath that strained against his muscular upper body. He wore long dark blue pants and black boots.
This man was Silas the third and final guard of Hades along with his bey Gargoyle G4.
All three bladers had their attention diverted when an older woman walked past all three of them.
This woman had short black hair and red eyes with a pair of glasses she wore.
Her current attire was a dark sleeveless mini dress with a white collar and a red tie along with black over-the-knee socks and black shoes. Over the mini dress, she wore a white lab coat that was open in the front. This woman was none other than the resident expert on beys of the group.
She walked past the three bladers to the one in charge on the cliffside overlooking everything else.
He was a young man with lavender-white hair and eyes that were two different colors as his right eye was a medium shade of purple while his left eye was an icy blue. He wore a black and purple shirt long sleeve shirt with his jacket over the ground next to him. He wore black pants with yellow highlights and purple shoes with the same color highlights. On his right hand was a black glove. This young man was Hearts another blader of the turbo four and his bey of choice was none other than dread hades since it was a gift from his father… Hades himself.
Talia walked behind Hearts trying to get his attention.
"I'm surprised Hearts. I figured you'd be blading with Ginga and the others."
Hearts let out a 'tsk' and Talia's attempt to start "small talk" with him.
"Get to the point Talia. What do you want?"
Talia smiled and adjusted her glasses and pushed a few buttons on her datapad before talking again.
"I thought you'd be interested to know that Ravel-"
"That's the news you wanted to share Talia then spare me."
"So you already know?"
"Of course I knew but I wanted to take the phoenix bitch down. After all, not only is she the only one to beat me but she also stole of Hades power that doesn't belong to her!"
"That makes sense after all that would explain how she was able to change into Dread Phoenix."
Hearts then pulled out his bey Dread Hades as both the bey and himself began to resonate glowing purple.
"I just wanna know… who's the bastard who stole my fun?"
Before Talia could answer Hearts interrupted her.
"It's in Kuoh, Japan right?"
Talia nodded as Hearts smiled a wicked fanged smile as he walked away from the ledge and back towards the others.
"Ginga. Maya. Silas. We're leaving."
Maya was the first to answer grabbing her bey and happily skipping over causing her chest to bounce with every step.
"Where are we going Master Hearts~"
"Kuoh. I'm going to find the bastard who stole my fun. Right Hades?"
Hades glowed brightly in his hand responding to his will and desire.
