Valt's POV:

After Amy's loss,Free sent me out to fight against Wakiya and I felt extremely excited to fight my old buddy from back home.

Kristina Kuroda's POV:

I was looking out towards Valt and Wakiya as they were about to head into the second match.

That's when Trad suddenly informed me that the owner of The Raging Bulls,Theodore Glass have came again.

"Good afternoon Kris,its been far too long.I'm sorry for coming unannounced."Theodore politely greeted as he gave a slight bow. However,behind that kind demeanor,I just felt that something was rather off about him.

After all,whenever Theodore came,he would always be trying to get Free to quit BC Sol to join the Raging Bulls.

"Hello again Theodore,if I knew you were coming,I would have gotten someone to greet you."I replied as I gripped onto the handle of my chair,worried that he might be up to something.

Theodore Glass's POV:

My face turned into a smirk as I saw Kris's guard tightened as her uneasiness started to stir.

"Seems your team is in a tight predicament after the last match."I commented,placing my hands into my pocket before trailing my line of sight to the pink haired blader who was currently rather disappointed with her performance.

"Its still early in the match,I'm sure we can make a comeback."Kris cooly replied.

"Oh I'm sure you can,but aren't you and Free hiding something from the other teammates of BC Sol? After all,that's actually Amy Xu Watanabe,the actress down there. Also known as Lily Xu Adachi.

Kristina Kuroda's POV:

My eyes widened at the mention of Amy's true name. How the heck did he know?

I was about to protest when Theodore cut me off as the match between Wakiya and Valt was about to begin.

However,my mind raced as I thought about how he of all people would know about Lily.

"You wouldn't want your team to look weak in front of your fans,test their patience and they might start cheering for your opponents."Theodore continued.

"My team has my full confidence."I simply replied,trying to sound confident.

"You used to harbour a great amount of respect,maybe you don't put in much effort in your training program." Theodore continued as I got more upset at his words since I already knew where all of this was going.

"I got an idea,instead of keeping Free in an unstimulated blading environment,isn't it better if you let him spread his wings in America? My Raging Bulls has recently got a new Japanese Blader and he is absolutely smashing it."

"I guarantee that Free would thrive more there."

"How many times are you going to keep asking!"I exclaimed,looking up in shock to see his face right there.

"If you agree we could start arranging the transfer. I might even let you push for better conditions"Theodore added on. His face full of malice as those words left his mouth.

"No never!"I replied,keeping my serious face before quickly looking back towards the match.

Valt Aoi's POV:

"Game One And Set!"

"3...."

"2...."

"1...."

"LET IT RIP!"

Both our beys launched into the stadium as Wyvorn immediately too the centre while Valtryek raced around it.

"Show em what your capable of with your new power partner!" I encouraged as Vatryek went in for the first contact but got no effect because of the extra free-moving part.

"Don't kid yourself,your little evolution has nothing on ours,we can fend off your strikes like they never happened!" Wakiya said,his confidence striking off.

"Oh we'll see about that!"I exclaimed in reply wanting to prove him wrong as I quickly punched the air with my arms."Crank up the heat buddy!"

"Valtryek continues its relentless attacks but Wyvorn remains unaffected!" Hanami commented.

Valtryek than headed for the middle and knocked Wyvorn out from the centre position,but Wakiya than used Wyvorn's shield crash to come back straight towards Valtryek,sending it out of the stadium and making it a ring out finish.

"Tempest Wyvorn with a ring out finish,Sun Bat United gets one point!" The referee concluded.

"Deja Vu! This is becoming a repeat of game one! Can anyone stand up to Wakiya!" Hanami questioned in anticipation.

"Don't worry Valt! You can turn this around!" Honcho encouraged.

Lily Xu Adachi's POV:

Before the second match could start,Free made Rantaro call over Valt so that he could tell him something.

"I wonder what Free could be thinking of."I curiously wondered

"Frustrated?" Free started,staring at Valt.

"That's the first thing he says?!" My eye twitched in disbelief from the choice of his words.

"Of course I am!" Valt exclaimed to which Free simply replied with the word 'good'

"You hear that? Your bey is calling you."Free continued,pointing towards Valtryek hoping to get his message across without giving the full answer.
Both Rantaro and Valt took a glance at Valtryek before asking for a hint.

"I don't know,its trying to talk to you." Free replied.

"I'm listening" Valt replied.

As Valt was figuring out what Valtryek was trying to say,my line of sight focused on Wakiya as I tightened my grip on my bey.

I still felt horrible from losing that match,I knew that I could do better than this.

Free,Valt,Rantaro and all the other bladers were just amazing and talented bladers,just where do i stand among them. I then looked towards Kris whose expression read that she was kinda nervous and I definitely could tell why.

"It was because of that guy who came. I don't know what his deal is but he got some questions to answer." I thought,sending a glare towards his direction,anger and frustration arising as I thought about it more.

Theodore Glass's POV:

I looked down to see the pink haired blader glaring at me. I simply smirked at the thought.

"My how big your daughter has grown Shojou."I thought,thinking about my college friend who was now dead.

"For years have you and Kinuko stopped me from approaching her. Now that you two are out from the picture,little Lily is started to fully come out from her shell." I smirked at the thought that I might be able to see the real Lily Xu Adachi in person.

That's when Hanami said that the break was over and that the second match was about to begin.

Valt Aoi's POV:

After figuring out what Valtryek and Free were trying to tell me,I went back to the stadium and twisted my partner onto my launcher while Wakiya did the same.

"Free,I'm taking a big leap of faith."

After the countdown,both me and Wakiya launched our beys into the stadium. Similar to before,Wyvorn took the centre position.

However,Valtryek is moving way quicker after I removed its weight,making it lighter hence giving my partner more speed.

Valtryek slammed itself onto the stadium's wall and accelerated forward,giving it more speed as it striked Wyvorn once before going to the opposite side to do the same as Valtryek unleashed its upgraded spring attack.

"I cannot believe my eyes! Just the last match,Wyvorn was dominating the centre but now its getting trashed around like a ragdoll!" Hanami commented in disbelief from the scene he was seeing as Valtryek repeatedly went in for attack after attack.

That's when Valtryek knocked Wyvorn from the centre position,but it came back in as Wakiya tried to use his shield crash.

"Lets go with our spring attack! I excitedly exclaimed as my bey glowed a royal blue coloured as Valtryek and his stallion formed as both Wyvorn and him clashed.

Valtryek than used his sword and trusted it into Wyvorn,resulting it to burst.

"No way!" Wakiya exclaimed in disbelief.

"Genesis Valtryek with a burst finish! Two points to Valt Aoi,BC Sol takes game two with a score of two to one!"

And with that,BC Sol tied the score.

After a short break and pep talk from Honcho,I was asked to go out again during the next match.

Turns out my next opponent was non other than Silas.

We both attached our beys onto our launcher before the referee and the audience counted down for the match to tale place.

I decided to once again go with my same stratergy and launched Vatryek without his weight again.After Silas launched Kinetic Satomb,it quickly took the centre just like Wyvorn from before

Valtryek than unleashed its spring attack and knocked Satomb out of the stadium,getting one point.

"Great work partner!"I happily exclaimed.

Lily Xu Adachi's POV:
"That's what I'm talking about!" Rantaro commented,clearly ecstatic from his buddy's win.

Whereas Free just did not seem to show any sign of excitement from a teammate's win.

Being curious,I peeked at him from the side of my eye while Rantaro tried having a conversation with him.

"Dude you okay? You look like you been hypnotised or something.Please tell me you were watching." Rantaro asked,his face having a sort of weirded out expression. Which was kinda understandable since Free always had that same poker face look.

"What's the point of getting excited,its not done" was Free's simple explanation.

Letting out a small sigh,I looked back towards Valt as several thoughts went through my mind.

"He changed so much till I can barely recognise him...."

When we were mich younger,he would always have a smile on his face and now I can barely even see him crack one..

Silas Karlisle's POV:
(sOmEoNe's GoNnA sCreAm aT mE-)

I could not barely care about that pip squeak getting one point,after all I still had something up my sleeve.

"Hey,come here." Wakiya ushered,clearly wanting me to probably follow his instructions or something so I wouldn't screw up the next battle.

I was annoyed,after all this captain was the one who lost in the previous game so what position was he in to tell me what to do.

Trying to get my point across,I gave him a stink eye which managed to get him to shut up.

I slightly cracked my neck as I sent a menacingly looking grin towards Valt's direction.

"Looking a little smug kid,bad luck.That's the kind of attitude that riles me up and makes me want to crush you even more." I declared.

"I'm gonna pull out all the stoos,and bring out my A-game." I lifted my launcher up.

Valt Aoi's POV:
"Yeah Earth to Silas,we kinda have been doing that." I nervously replied.

That's when Silas changed his launcher from a right handed one to a left handed.

I stared at shock at what I saw and I could tell that both Honcho and Amy were rather surprised from the sudden change of events.

"Dude you can launch wjth your left hand too?" I asked

Silas Karlisle's POV:

"You sound surprise,I'm what you call well rounded." I replied,twisting Satomb onto my launcher as I waited for the countdown.

When the referee called in for the second battle,the kid gave out a slight laugh.

"What's so funny?" I questioned

"You're secretly left-handed aren't you? That's awesome!" He replied,nit seeming to care much about why and how changing my launcher have an impact on the battle. "Now I get the chance to see you in full power!"

"Your all kinds of annoying,zip it!" I frustratingly snapped.

"Ready? Set!"

"3...."

"2...."

"1...."

"LET IT RIP!"

I brought my arm backwards as I launched Satomb into the battlefield,by using my dominant hand,I was able to give Satomb more power and therefore making its defense more solid.

Valtryek went in for the attack but its attacks was simply brushed away by Satomb's rollers.It once again used its usual spring attack on Satomb but by using roller drift,it went back into the centre again.

I stood there with a completely peaceful face as I watched Satomb out playing Valtryek.Soon afterwards,both beys got off balance but Satomb quickly took that opportunity to knock its oppoent out of the stadium,getting a ring out finish,making the score a tie.

Valt Aoi's POV:

I didn't understand just why Valtryek loss that battle. After a little of brain storming,I came out with a decent plan since I really did not want to lose the battle.

Deciding the strategy to let Valtryek head to the centre,I leaned forward.

After the countdown,the two of us once again launched our beys into the stadium. As Valtryek came in with a rush launch,it continued missing its mark as it travels to the centre before moving to the sides continuously while Satomb travelled by the side unaffected.

When Valtryek made the first contact with Satomb,its rollers once again brushed off its attacks before making its way and in the centre.

"There it is! The first contact! Kinetic Satomb takes the centre while Genesis Valtryek is literally bouncing around like a pin ball!" Hanami yelled,surprised by Valtryek-'s movements.

Silas Karlisle's POV:

"What's happening?" Valt questioned,wrecking his tiny brain to why his strategy is not working.

"There's no point in sugar coating it." I added,telling him the hardcore truth."You think you understand your bey but you don't,its that simple!"

"That's not true! Time for my spring attack! Go!" He replied,giving that attack as a last ditch effort which would ultimately end up with nothing.

"Nice try,but your not crawling out of this match,once we're in the middle theres no turning around!"

Lily Xu Adachi's POV:

As the two beys clashed,the two avatars of Genesis Valtryek and Kinetic Satomb appeared to also be fighting against each other.

But ultimately,Valtryek fell short bursted by Satomb.

"No way!" Valt exclaimed

"Kinetic Satomb with a burst finish,Sun Bat United takes game three with a score of three to one!" The referee concluded.

And now we were behind again...
