Neb: I do not own Beyblade, Beyblade Burst, or any other titles of Beyblade. This is a story about my OC Sin Venger. We are now in the semifinals with Valt vs Domori and Sin vs the Masked Blader Concealed. Only one blader can move on to facing Aiger Akabane. Sin has come a long way since she relaunched herself into the Beyblade world. I can't wait to see where she takes the battles from here. I hope you all enjoy. We will begin with Valt Vs Domori.
Domori noticed a slight hesitance in Mighty Draconids's resonance. Was he nervous facing Valt? He shouldn't be, he's beaten Valt in the past and he's now faced other bladers who were just as strong as Valt. Still, Valt knows what Domori craves, Domori's goal is to battle a blader who can get stronger during battle, and if Domori were a betting man, Valt would be that blader. "I can do this," Domori spoke to himself as he clenched Draconids in his hand. He could feel the wear and tear on his beyblade, battling Lui had taken it's toll, but he was sure he'd be fine. "A may have to retire Mighty Draconids after this tournament. It's fine, we are getting closer to the next generation of beyblade." As Domori headed down the hallway towards the arena, Sin stood in front of him.
"Are you not even going to talk to me?", Sin questioned. "It's been a half a year Domori, you can't just run from home and then act all antisocial when you get back."
"Everything that I wanted to say had already been said," Domori shook his head. "You challenged me on live stream, and if you win against Concealed you will. I'll beat Valt, and then I'll move on to Aiger."
"You aren't even thinking about Concealed or I being a threat huh?", Sin growled. "You've seen me beat Hyde and you've seen them beat Shu. Why are your eyes still only on Valt and Aiger?"
"Because they have shown the greatest change in their blading careers," Domori explained. "Wants I've collected the data on how they are able to do that, no one will stand in the way of my Draconids." Domori moved past Sin. She was angry, but that didn't bother him right now. All that mattered was winning against Valt.
"Spriggan and I will win Domori," Sin spoke up. "We will move on to beating Aiger."
"That hand me down Beyblade isn't going to cut it," Domori responded.
"Spriggan is practical as a balance type beyblade," Sin shook her head. "I'll be able to switch up my style just like Aiger. You've limited yourself the way I use to be limited with Arrow Stag."
"Arrow Stag was a triangle," Domori sighed. "That was it's gimmick, being an attack type triangle. There was no thought put into it's creation. Granted my Quality Drake wasn't much better until I improved upon it. I wanted you to strengthen Arrow Stag the way I strengthened Quality Drake, but you chose to stay weak, and now your borrowing Shu's power to win your battles. It's fine, everyone finds their own way, but I at least hoped my sister would use her own creativity." Domori continued forward and passed the mask blader Concealed.
"She will be mine," Concealed spoke up in their feminine voice.
"Your blade is impressive," Domori admitted. "But your not just facing Sin, your facing her connection with Shu, Komoto, and Crystal. I hope your Changeling can prove strong enough to surpass that bond. If so, I'll enjoy crushing it in the finally." Domori stepped out into the light as the crowd roared with applause. Valt waited for him by the stadium with his hand held out. Domori went out and shook Valt's hand.
"Let's make this an awesome battle," Valt grinned.
"I've always looked up to you Valt," Domori smiled. "But today, My Draconids is going to wipe the floor with your Valkyrie."
"We'll see about that," Valt nodded.
The two of them headed to their positions and readied their launchers.

"Let it rip!"
Valt before launching had backed away from the arena before sliding forward and then launching his beyblade.
Domori used his left handed launch, a launch he had used against Lui, but purposefully hadn't used it on Valt.
"Always so sneaky Domori," Valt grinned. "Now let's go Valkyrie!"
"Show him what your made of Draconids!"
The two blades clashed against each other all over the arena. The crowd loved it, watching two attack type beyblades move at the speed of lighting as they clashed against each other.
"You're matching my speed," Valt grinned. "Normally you have to hit the wall a few times before that happens."
"I'll have to admit Valt," Domori nodded. "I've always been left handed. I mean, I can use both hands, but my left hand is much stronger than my right."
"For Shu it was the other way around," Valt nodded. "He was right handed, but trained his left hand to switch up launches."
"So you've seen this trick before," Domori rubbed the back of his head. "It doesn't matter, I'll still show you why I am Mighty!" Domori roared as his resonance flared up. The golden light shined within him, but he was still covered in that shroud of darkness.
"Domori," Valt spoke up. "I will face every single side of you. Even your shadow, I'm not afraid! Rush Launch!"
Turbo Valkerie begun hitting Draconids's from all sides as it sped up.
"He used the slope of the arena as a speed boost," Domori figured. "Mighty Repulse!" Valkyrie was sent flying when making contact with one of Domori's points. "Don't let up!" His Draconids moved towards a wall and bounced off it. "Mighty Uproar!"
"Turbo Whip," Valt called out.
The two clashed again, but it was Draconids who was sent flying this time. "Played right into my hands! Draconic Spring Dive!"
"It's not over," Valt yelled. "Go Valkyrie!" His avatar emerges riding it's horse.
"Mighty! Draconids!" The blue dragon carrying the crystal sword emerges as well.
Both blades continue to clash against each other.
"This is crazy," Wakiya pointed out. "Their blades have so much power!"
They both roared as their blades continued to send sparks flying. Domori turned his head to see his blade fly out of the arena. "No," Domori growled. His blade didn't burst, but Valt was now in the lead with one point. The gold light begun to fade from Domori as his eyes blackened.
"There he is," Valt grunted. "Shadow Domori."
"You've been waiting to challenge me Valt," Shadow Domori spoke up.
"What the heck?", Sin responded from the stands.
"Why is Domori acting creepy all of a sudden?", Crystal wondered.
"Domori," Valt smiled. "I know your in there battling against him. Just know I'll be fighting him out here."
"Domori has retreated to his little corner," Shadow Domori grinned. "So that Shadow Draconids and I can take the wheel. He'll do anything to win, even let his darkside come out!" Shadow Domori twisted the outer layer of his beyblade. The spikes of Mighty Draconids now formed the pattern of an x instead of a cross. He also switched the driver to a black sword driver. Shadow Domori changed his stance as well, making it look like he was going to unsheathe his beyblade like a sword.
"So many changes," Komoto spoke up. "It's like battling another person."
"Interesting," Lui grinned. "I forced the light to make an appearance Valt, can you do the same?"
Valt backed away from the arena again, but this time he was a lot further away. "Go ahead and start counting!"

"Let it rip!"
As each number was spoke Valt hopped closer to the arena until he jumped before launching his beyblade.
Domori unsheathed his own beyblade releasing Shadow Draconids onto the arena. The once light blue beyblade was now covered in a blackened aura. "Let's start things off with my Phantom Crusher!"
"Go Valkyrie Wing Launch!"
The two blades clashed into each other. They were sending sparks flying just as before. Valkyrie was sent back immediately. "What did rotating the energy layer do for him?", Valt wondered. In most instances, some balance types would adjust their energy layers to go left spinning instead of right, but Domori's blade was an attack type through and through. "It's hitting different, but why?" Valt's eyes widened when he noticed the spikes were pointing outwards even more. "That's it, Shadow Draconids abandons the spring loaded strategy all together!"
"That's right Valt," Shadow Domori grinned. "When Mighty Draconids is in cross mode, it's spikes are pressed inwards where the springs touch it. This gives it a more practical damage absorbing strategy. My Shadow Draconids in X mode releases to spikes outwards, making it a full on attack type. The sword driver changes it's attack patterns as well and also raises the height of the beyblade!"
"Incredible," Valt smiled. "Both sides of you are something else Domori, but I think I'd rather face the real you!"
"That grin," Lui spoke up. "I've seen it before." He remembered when Domori's Drake was sent flying out of the arena when they first face each other. That was when Domori's bored, lazy side was replaced with a menacing grinning Domori. "I thought that was the real Domori coming out of his shell, but there might be more to this story than that."
"And I thought I was a masochist," Hyde laughed. "Dropping your defenses entirely, turned Draconids into a glass cannon."
"Maybe," Shu responded. "But let's remember that Domori's goal is to get past the Turbo Wings, maybe strengthening the attack power is his way of doing that. Ignore the shadow side all together and remember that this is his strategy."
Shadow Domori and Valt both roared as their blades clashed once more. This time Valt's blade was sent flying out of the arena.
"No burst?", Shadow Domori growled. "But I hit it with everything, why won't that stupid blade burst!"
"If this was the earlier turbo model," Valt sighed. "I'm sure it would have burst. But the wings of Valkyrie have protected my beyblade!"
"For now," Shadow Domori grinned. Domori's breath went cold all of a sudden as he changed his stance again.
"I know that stance," Crystal realized. "That's the one he taught me."

"Let it Rip!"
Valt jumped in the air as he released his Valkyrie again.
Shadow Domori used Crystal's Ice Skater Launch this time as he spun in the air before launching.
Both blades hit the arena hard as they bounce and then move in to clash against each other.
"Rush Launch!"
"Shadow X Crash!", Shadow Domori roared. "Go Shadow Draconids!" A black dragon emerged with a shadow sword covered in purple lightning.
"Valkyrie," Valt called out as he raised his arm in the air. His own avatar made it's appearance as well.
They both roared again as their blades moved across the arena like lightning. Valt's blade was releasing a blue aura around it and Domori's was releasing the shrouded darkness, now mixed with purple lightning. "Each launch you do has a different effect on your beyblade," Valt realized.
"I was hoping to save a few of them for Aiger," Shadow Domori admitted. "But I couldn't let you get use to a single strategy of mine. That's why I'll take this fight seriously! Domori may look up to you, but you're just an obstacle!"
"It's time to bring the real Domori back," Valt yelled. "Turbo Flash Launch!" Valkyrie begun spinning all over the arena increasing it's speed. "Now Turbo Whip!"
"Domori's blade has no defense," Hyde yawned. "There's no way he'll take a hit like that."
Domori's blade was sent flying into a wall again, but something odd happened. The layer rotated when it crashed into the wall. "No," Shadow Domori yelled as a gold aura released from within him. "It was just getting good!" Mighty Draconid's was back as the spikes reclined and shaped out a cross again.
"Great work Valt," Domori grinned as the gold aura radiated off of him. "You've forced Draconids into it's reboot."
"Amazing," Valt responded with stars in his eyes. He then got serious. "It's not over yet though!"
"Come at me with everything Valt! Mighty Uproar!"
"Turbo Whip!"
The two blades clashed again as they released sparks. Suddenly both blades were enveloped in a golden aura.
"So this is what you meant by getting stronger during battle, huh Domori," Valt smiled.
"This is only a portion of what we can achieve," Domori smiled as he shook his head. "I want the next generation to have more weight added to our beyblades, so we can really achieve what I'm looking for. But for now, Mighty Draconids, use Mighty Repulse!"
The springs pushed inwards as Valkyrie pressed up against Mighty Draconids and then shot out sending Valkyrie out of the arena again.
"That's another ring out," the ref called out. "Domori is the winner."
The light vanished from around Domori as the darkness begun to consume him again. "You probably see my plan now."
"Yeah," Valt nodded. "Your using Shadow Domori to conceal your true strength. Not the other way around."
"Exactly," Domori smiled. "I've beaten Shadow Domori within my mind many times, but he has his uses. Until next time Valt." Domori headed away and smiled as he stared down at Mighty Draconids. "Just a little more my friend!" The damage on his blade was worsened, but Domori was sure it'd hold up for now."
