Neb: Domori and Crystal had faced off against each other in a non competitive battle. However, that didn't stop either of them from going all out. Crystal battled against Domori and his Meteor Draconids but late in the game, Domori had taken up one of his other personas do to the excitement from the battle. It's not looking good for him as his other personas might be gaining control. Who knows what will be left of the original Domori. I do not own Beyblade, Beyblade Burst, or any other forms of Beyblade. I hope you enjoy the fanfic.
"So Domori's other personas are taking over huh," Valt responded to Crystal over the phone.
"I'm worried about him Valt," Crystal admitted. "Komoto and I always looked up to him as this unattainable goal, but now he's falling apart and being replaced. I want to fight the real Domori."
"They are all the real Domori," Valt reasoned. "When Domori and I faced off against each other back when he wielded Mighty Draconids, he had full control over his darker half. He used his dark persona to hide his inner light, at least that's what Lui said. It's possible he's just getting ready for an important battle, and he's just letting his other personas run wild for a bit until he's ready to reveal that light again."
"But Domori's darkness was created from Sin abandoning him," Crystal pointed out. "And vice versa!"
Valt sighed into the phone and then thought for a moment. "Has he broken any beyblades?"
"N-no?", Crystal responded. "Not that I know of."
"That's when that aura gets really bad," Valt explained. "It's awakened through having your own blade shattered and before you know it your breaking other people's blades as well. Domori did have his Mighty Draconids broken a while back, but that didn't cause any changes in his personality."
"I know," Crystal acknowledged. "I was there also, cheering on Sin from the sidelines. Look Valt, I was just wondering if now was the time for you to face him. I mean, do you want to take care of the problem before it becomes a problem?"
"That's a good question," Valt admitted. "I can't though, I am with Aiger and Wakiya. We are setting up an event for newer bladers, including Dante and Delta."
"So then I'm on my own," Crystal sighed.
"Not necessarily," Valt figured. "I heard Shu and Sin was going to be returning soon. Maybe you should get Team Athlete back together."
"Do you think we can win?", Crystal wondered.
"It's up to you on whether you can win or not," Valt chuckled. "Don't sweat it, everything will work itself out eventually."
"You're too care free Valt," Crystal sighed. "But fine, I can wait for the others and we can challenge Domori together. Honestly I don't think he's ever faced Shu before, so that might actually make him wake up."
"With any luck," Valt nodded. "Alright, I have to go Crystal. But good luck with the Domori situation."
With that Valt hung up the phone.
Crystal stared down at her phone for a moment as she remembered the time she learned from Domori.
Younger Crystal was adding spins and flips to her launch performance. "How was that Domori? Have you ever seen a blader launch like that before?"
"It's not strong enough," Domori shook his head upsetting her. "Lui won't go down to Launch power alone, you need control."
"You jerk," younger Crystal cried.
"Komoto," Domori turned to the younger Komoto. "You need more balance in your steps also, you're like a hulking tower about to fall over."
"Don't be a jerk," younger Komoto growled. "We are the ones who are going to face Lui, not you."
"If I could I would," Domori growled as he grabbed his hands. "But for now, just be my left and right hand. When I'm healed I won't ask anything else from you two. I need you're strength and speed, but I have to show you two the discipline behind Beyblade."
"Discipline?", they both responded.
Crystal looked up from her phone and then sighed. "The discipline behind beyblade goes beyond launch forms and changing parts. Its that strength you've always been going on about. The kind that can make a blader increase their power without even the need for training. I once thought you meant resonance, but there's something more to that, isn't there."
Komoto sat under a waterfall on top of a large rock he had moved towards the falls. He breathed peacefully as he took the scenery in around himself. "This had been his training ever since Domori told him there was nothing more he could learn. This waterfall was where he was learning both balance and discipline. Komoto stopped staring ahead and then focused on another boy in a red jacket heading towards him. The boy had red eyes, but blue hair. "Who might you be?"
"I am Delta Zakuro," Delta spoke up. "I've come to feed you're Karma to my Diabolos."
"Feed my Karma?", Komoto responded. "I see, you think you can win against me. But I've been training under this waterfall for a year now. I'm more then just a bodybuilder, I'm now disciplined!"
"Tsk," Delta grunted before readying his launcher.
Komoto walked towards his stone carved arena and then grinned as he revealed his beyblade. "I wonder if you did any research on me. You must have if you managed to find me all the way out here in the woods. I once used Ironbound Karma in the Turbo Blade era, but now I have evolved it to match the times. Behold my Steelbound Karma!" Komoto's new beyblade of course was much heavier then his previous one. It was still a balanced type having strength in all three forms of beyblade. Good Stamina, Good Attack power, and Good Defense. But this new blade of his came with a few tricks. He could rotate the metal ring around his Steelbound Karma to change it's type. The metal ring was what gave it more weight and shifting it's weight could easily change the blades tactics from being a defense type to being an attack type. However, Komoto kept it in it's regular mode which was it's stamina form. It was good at both Defense and Offense in this form, but the main goal was to stay in the center and wear down it's opponent.
"I'm not impressed," Delta growled as revealed his own blade. "Venom Diabolos will be enough to crush your Steelbound Karma!"
"Another Dragon Bey, or is that a snake?", Komoto wondered. "It doesn't matter, it will be crushed under the weight of my training!"
"Remember Komoto, building muscle is one thing but you need balance in order to perform the most optimal launches," a younger Domori spoke within Komoto's mind. "Most bladers need to get a good running or jump start in order to add power to their launches, but you have those big arms of yours. Master balance and you will become the ultimate blader."
"The Ultimate blader," Komoto grinned as he remembered the words of Domori. "I will be more then the ultimate blader, I will be remembered as a legend!"

"Let it rip," both bladers yelled.
Karma hit the stadium hard as Komoto launched straight above himself. He was more than just muscle, he was tall also meaning his blade would have the a longer fall adding to the launch.
Delta jumped in the air and flipped sideways before launching. He remembered his battle against Domori. How he wasn't even worth Domori going all out against. It made him furious, Domori wasn't the star. Delta was. "Only one star in the sky can shine the brightest!"
Both blades clashed into each other sending Diabolos flying back.
As Komoto suspected he easily took the center, but something seemed familiar. "That rage," Komoto realized. Resonance begun to flow through Komoto as he realized he wasn't facing an ordinary opponent. "He has a hidden mechanic. Just like Domori and Sin."
"Diabolos will swallow up your light," Delta called out. His avatar emerged behind him flowing from his dark red energy.
"Those eyes," Komoto grunted as he remembered his battle against Sin and her Halberd Spriggan. "Let's see how similar the two of you are! Karma!"
Komoto's own avatar appeared before himself as his blade started bouncing Diabolos into a wall over and over again. "Steelbound Calamity!"
"You've unlocked my power," Delta frowned as he readied himself. "Dual Phantom!" Delta's blade hopped off of it's driver all of a sudden turning into two beyblades.
"Candice's changeling use to do that," Komoto frowned. "That won't be enough to stop me!" But his blade was focused on playing ping pong with the actual Diabolos, he would have never suspected the clone was just as strong. The difference between Changeling and the Phantom Clone was that Candice's second blade was built within the energy layer subtracting from her blade's weight. Diabolos however had it's clone built into the driver meaning it didn't lose much weight after hopping off of it.
"There is no blade like Diabolos," Delta called out. "Now, Clone Cannon!"
Both blades hit Karma from both sides, but the heavier blade shrugged them both off. Komoto grinned as he felt his resonance radiate stronger then ever. "Again Steelbound Calamity! Nevermind, for a second I thought you were like Sin. But your auras only match! Everything else about you is weak, just like you're resolve!"
Delta grinned as his own red aura consumed himself. "You are nothing but talk, bodybuilder!"
Komoto's own smile went away as he saw something surprising. Diabolos begun to glow gold. "What is that?!"
"Hyper Flux," Delta called out.
After dealing with the clone Karma went to take the center again, but Diabolos crashed right through it.
"W-what?", Komoto gawked. The kid really was different, it took Sin a couple rounds before should beat Karma. But the resonance behind Delta, Delta was more familiar with it and could control it. "He got stronger during battle," Komoto realized. "This is what Domori was looking for."
"What a tasty meal," Delta grinned. "Your Karma's light will only add to the mass of my Diabolos!"
"What's with this kid," Komoto wondered. "He doesn't talk like an ordinary blader. Even Hyde wasn't this eccentric."
Delta then yawned before turning away. "I suppose that's it for now, I should go for the Ice Skater next. Then I'll face Domori."
