Beyblade: Metal Burst All-Stars Royale!! Interdimensional Crossover Tournament!!

Round 5: Shining Conclusion

Baihu snickered at this option when Houi returned to the stands.

"Didn't think you had it in you."

Houi drank his own juice, swallowing it all to Chao-Xin's horror.
"It secured a victory. Baihu, Aguma, do your best out there."

Baihu yawned. "Guess it's my turn," watching Pot talking with the others about Drum. "And you'll deal with the dumb blonde."

"A battle between tiger and dragon would be fun."

"Well I've clipped a Pegasus' wings before. This should be a walk in the park."

Gingka shuddered, with Shinobu and Kira figuring out the reasons why.

"Sorry about that."

"I'm more worried about Baihu. He self implodes when he's not in control, but this tournament's improved his focus. But how much."

Pot also approached the stadium, confirming his own status.

He's been getting in touch with Berserker Byakko much more, staring at his more concentrated, if powerful chi.

"Still, Pegasus, we've got the skill to win. But first," planning for a surprise prank when a tap on his back got his attention, Dashan's.

"A question before the battle starts."

"Sure."

"How have your losses shaped you?"

"Hmm," trying to recall a conversation with Blind.

"Why did you join Hell? Wanted to get caught in the inferno of victory?"

"Haven't we been stagnant for far too long? Embracing the Darkness allowed me to shine brighter than ever before. But my heart never wavered, and I got to see Delta Akane's light grow. Either way, if you're lacking inspiration, maybe you just need to express yourself in battle."

"Oh, okay."

Pot returned to the present, eager to answer Dashan.

"They've made me find Beyblade fun again."

He nodded. "Go out there and prove it. Baihu's in the midst of a similar process. I hope you both fight at your own potential."

Both of them separated with Pot and Baihu in front of the Bey Stadium minutes later, both ready to launch.

"I'm going to cut those wings down to pieces, heaven boy."

"I'll invite you to my temple to relax after I win."

"Fourth round: begin."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One"

"Let it Rip!"

Berserker Byakko and Heaven Pegasus dived into the stadium, both of them were worried. The avian beast flew first into the center as Pot focused on his ki. Baihu went for the kill, but Pot sensed something off.

His ki, he's releasing it out in short bursts, watching Byakko's attacks at Pegasus seemingly do nothing but started to push his partner back.

Fine, then we'll use Feather Sto-

"Pot, wait."

"Pegasus?"

"Don't get so frustrated."

"Well I want to endure Byakko's attacks but we can't just stay still and wait for Lock Reverse. What should we do?"

"You know the answer. What would be the most entertaining to you?"
