Bel: (Shudders)

Bella: What an outstanding Bey...

Lui: Hope you enjoyed that little show of Guilty Lúinor's power.

Lui: But that's only a fraction of what its capable of.

Bel: I gotta battle Guilty Lúinor. I gotta battle Guilty Lúinor.

Lui: (Chuckles)

Bel: I gotta battle Guilty Lúinor! Battle against Belfyre now!

Lui: (Scoffs)

Bia: A very unwise choice, Bel.

Ilya: Stop it! Stop it! Stop it now! Hold it right there, Bel! I'm the one battling Lúinor, not you!

Bel: That's about enough out of you!

Bella: Shut up! I've had enough from you, you witch!

(Hangs up)

Bella: (Grunts) She really gets on my nerves.

Ilya: (Gasps) Oh, that little brat! What on earth is he thinking?!

Bel still holds his Bey.

Bia: Brother, I don't think that's a wise choice.

Bel: (Groans) I said battle the Dark Prince!

Lui: I'll take you on after my battle this afternoon against Haruki and Ilya.

Bel: No! Battle me now!

Lui: No! Keep your promises!

Bel: (Gasps and Growls)

This gives the Dark Queen an idea.

Bia: Lui. I have a request.

Lui: What request?

Bia: Listen to this.

Bia goes to Lui and whispers to his ears.

Bia: Well?

Lui: (Chuckles) I like that idea.

Bella: Sis, what did you say to him?

Bia: We're gonna have a tag battle.

Daizoras: A tag battle?!

(Meanwhile)

Ilya skates down the hill.

Ilya: (You'll rue the day you chose to disobey me.) (Gasps)

She sees the Daizora siblings walking out of the cave.

Ilya: Hey, you! Did you already--

Bella: Relax, lady, they didn't battle.

Bel: So I kept my promise, okay?

Ilya: Wait, I think you mean Lui didn't let you battle him.

Bel: (Groans) Hmph!

Rashad walks up the hill and see the Daizora siblings and Ilya.

Rashad: There they are. What are they up to?

Ilya: As thanks for the info about Lúinor, I'll give you a gift.

Ilya: From now on, you're officially free from being my minion.

Bel: (Groans) And that's officially the last time I ever make any kind of promise with you!

Bella: That's right! He's a Blader, not your guinea pig!

Ilya: Hold up!

Bel: Hmm?

Ilya: If you want, I could tell you how to improve yourself to become a stronger Blader.

Bel: (Growls) The Dark Prince is already the strongest!

Ilya: Remind me, which one of us lost to Rashad?

Bel: 💢 (Groans) I didn't lose! I'm prepping for a later victory!

Ilya: Oh? I guess you don't wanna hear it, then.

Bel: Well, if you really wanna tell me so bad, then fine! I'll listen to what you have to say!

Ilya: You could have just said that from the start.

Bella: And you're the one who's been giving him a hard time.

Ilya: Belfyre's strongest point is its attack power, so to get better, you got to enhance that! Amp it up! That shouldn't be too hard for the Dark Prince, right?

Bella: So you're saying that Bel has to evolve Belfyre again?

Bel: (Gasps) How about you try telling me something I didn't already know? Hah!

Bella: Good luck with that!

And for that, Bia pinched Ilya out of nowhere.

Ilya: Ow! What's that for?!

Bia: That's for making Bel as your errand boy.

Bella: I still hate you.

The Daizora Sisters went to catch up to Bel.

Ilya: And now the rest is up to him. Will he accept my advice and become stronger, or will he lose himself along the way?

(Footsteps approaching)

Rashad: Hey, Ilya, you don't have the time to be giving out free advice.

Ilya: You were listening?

Rashad: You should be focusing on your battle against Lúinor right now.

Ilya: Hah! Thanks, but I don't need you to tell me that.

Rashad: It's Lui Shirosagi. He's not the type who would easily fall for your usual sneaky tactics. If you want to be at him, you'll have to bring out everything Ifritor can do.

Ilya: Oh, Rashad, you're just as nosy as always, aren't you?

(Meanwhile)

Bel went on the lift to the blimp.

Bel: ("Belfyre's strongest quality is its attack power. Enhance that." I gotta amp up its attack to get even better. Heh!) I can do that, easy!

Wakiya: Hey! What on Earth do you think you're up to?! The battle between Lui, Haruki, and Ilya is about to begin, and you're gonna miss it!

Bel: Well, that's got nothing to do with me! The Dark Prince is going to evolve Belfyre again!

Wakiya: Hey, wait a minute! There he goes, rushing off again.

Bel brings a case out of the closet and puts it on the table.

Bel: Belfyre... how can we improve your attack power?

(Resonating with Belfyre)

Belfyre: We've already given me so many different upgrades. Looks like we're running out of options.

Bel: I'm sure there's gotta be something still left we can work on!

Belfyre: Hmm. Something that will increase my attack power...

Bel: I know! You could be heavier!

Belfyre: How can we do that?

Bel: Um... (Sighs)

He remembers what Lúinor burst all of the Beys.

Bel: When I saw Guilty Lúinor, its attack power was out of this world.

Belfyre: Out of this world? We've gotta be even stronger than that.

Bel: But how can we surpass Lúinor? Its dragon was throwing Beys everywhere.

Belfyre: Hmm. A dragon would add more weight and firepower.

Bel and Belfyre: (Gasps) Let's add a dragon of our own!

(End of resonating)

He takes a look at the 2 Armor.

Bel: (Gasps) I'm a genius! This is just what we needed! You better watch out, Lúinor!

Hanami appeared behind the screen.

Hanami: Hey there, Bey fans! The moment's finally arrived! Live from the next stop of the Great Aerial Tour, welcome to the legendary Ogre Island! Today's match is between the Icy Terror himself, Lui Shirosagi, teaming up with the Dark Queen, Bia Daizora, and two new challengers to the tour, who used brilliant tactics to win in the battle royale, the Cat's Pajamas, Ilya Mao, and the Shapeshifing Vampire, Haruki Tachibana! With their Beys, Magma Ifritor and Tropical Hydra, they sure to light this stadium up! And this'll be our first chance to witness what Guilty Lúinor and Distress Barbatos got to offer too!

(At the Raging Bulls)

Hanami: What can we expect from Lúinor now that it's evolved into a Quad Bey and is in the hands of a Blader like Lui?!

Bel was still on the blimp working on the new Evolution Gear.

Hanami: It's a recipe for success, and these Bladers are all...

Bel: This is it, Belfyre! You're gonna be the best ever!

Valt: So that's Guilty Lúinor, huh?

Wakiya: Yeah, that's right! Upgraded by Lui himself, so you know it's gonna be strong.

Valt: Yeah. Can't wait to see what it can do.

Wakiya: And you could have told me that you were gonna tag team with him, Bia!

Bia: Apologies, it was my choice and Lui agreed to it.

Hanna: Hey, wait a minute. Where's Bel? He hasn't arrived yet!

Valt and Wakiya: Huh?

Hanna: Jiji's not here, either.

Bashara: It's not like Bel to miss the chance to observe a big battle like this.

Ranzo: Well, I hope he's not getting himself into too much trouble.

Ryuka: Sure hope not.

Wakiya: I ran into him earlier, and he mentioned something about planning to evolve Belfyre again.

All: Huh?

Bashara: He's upgrading again?

Ryuka: He's gonna miss the match!

Bella: Don't worry, I bet he'll see it on the blimp.

Valt: I see how it is! The Dark Prince has been struck by genius again! That's so cool!

Wakiya: Enough about Bel! The Dark Prince isn't the star of this match! Now get ready, and let the official battle begin!

Machine: 1st battle!

Ilya: (Guilty Lúinor and Distress Barbatos' are Attack Types with counterclockwise spin. They'll probably try and rush in with one huge attack to finish us off quickly.)

Haruki: (If we take those attacks head-on, Ifritor will have a really difficult time recovering.)

Homura: (Mentally) Don't forget Hydra is a Defense Type. So we definitely have an advantage against both Attack Types.

Rashad: (Ilya, what kind of plan is running through your head this time?)

Ilya starts to skate around.

Ilya: Listen up, Lui Shirosagi. I'm going to defeat you, and it'll be known far and wide that I, Ilya Mao, am the one who's at the top of the world!

Hanami: Hmm? What could this mean?! Ilya Mao has one finger pointing straight up!

Ilya: A single attack! We'll settle this with just one.

Hanami: Does she really think she can win so easily? Ilya's bold. No one can argue with that!

Lui: Hmph. In just one attack, you say?

Ilya: I do, because I head you evolved Lúinor when you lost to the Dark Princess, but, you see, I've already won against her brother.

Bia: No need to throw it in my face.

Lui: Hmph!

Ilya: So I'll be able to take you and the Dark Queen down too.

Bia: Think what you want. Do you find any negligence necessary?

Wakiya: Wow. Ilya's real aggressive out there. She doesn't hold back, does she?

Rashad: Taunting her opponent so they fall right into her master plan. This is all calculated.

Valt: Look at that! Did Bia and Lui fall for Ilya's bait?

Lui: (Chuckles)

Lui: Let's make this quick. One attack, and I'll destroy you.

Haruki transforms into Homura.

Homura: You're on!

Machine: Ready. Set!

3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!!!

Something was different from Ifritor.

Bia: (She switched her Bey into High Mode.)

Hanami: Ilya has set Magma Ifritor in High Mode for this match! Look out! Incoming attack from Guilty Lúinor!

Hanami: That was close! Ifritor narrowly dodges the quick attack!

Lui: Fleeing from me, coward?

Ilya: What's the matter? Can't keep up with me? Catch me if you can!

Lui: After it! Go, Lúinor!

Homura: Bring it, Dark Queen! You'll have to attack more than that!

Bia: Very well. Attack, Barbatos!

Hanami: Lúinor's in hot pursuit of Ifritor!

Hanami: But Ifritor dodges yet again at the last second!

Hanna: (Gasps)

Ryuka: Ifritor's a slippery one!

Bashara: She's evading really well.

Ranzo: But if she takes even one hit, it's gonna be real bad!

Bashara: She won't win at this rate. She needs to do more than run away.

Rashad: We'll see about that.

Hydra and Barbatos are still squaring off.

Bia: Barbatos! Distress Upper!

Barbatos give Hydra an upper attack as it went up in the air.

Hanami: Whoa! Barbatos has sent Hydra up in the air! Are we gonna see a burst?!

Homura: (Chuckles) Think again.

Luckily, Hydra landed safely and kept on spinning.

Hanami: No way! Tropical Hydra survived the attack and is still standing!

Homura: That's because of it's rubber defense. When Hydra takes a heavy hit, the rubber around its Tropical blade blocks it off.

Bia: A solid defense? Okay, then. Lui, let's work together!

Lui: Ladies first, Dark Queen.

Hanami: Barbatos and Lúinor's getting the high ground on its opponent by claiming the 4th orbit while Ifritor heads to the center stage as Hydra circles around it!

Ilya: You're it! Come get me!

Homura: Come on! I can take it!

Lui: (Chuckles) Enough running!

Bia: As you wish!

Hanami: Lúinor and Barbatos dives back in headfirst!

Homura: Just kidding! Use Eternal Counter!

Hydra's High Eternal Driver slid aside and dodged Barbatos' attacks.

Ilya: I'm not losing to you!

Ilya: Now, Ifritor, Beast Dodge!

Ifritor utilizes the Jaggy-Q Tip & Wave Armor Tip's rotation to avoid Lúinor to dodge the attack.

Hanami: Ifritor's nimbly slipping away from every one of Lúinor's attacks! What graceful movements

Hanami: in the face of such imminent danger! I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm watchin' a dance!

Wakiya: What's gotten into Lui? Looks like he's on a wild-goose chase!

Valt: I guess even Lui can fall prey to Ilya's mind games.

Ranzo: Why's she running away after all that talk? What happened to winning in one shot?

Ryuka: They haven't made any contact from the start.

Bashara: But she could. She still hasn't launched an attack yet.

Hanna: But all she's done is run and dodge! How can she win doing that?

Rashad: (If she keeps him on the offense and constantly attacking, she'll deplete all of Lúinor's stamina.)

Bella: (I bet she's aiming for a stamina showdown.)

Ilya: Now that Ifritor has gotten started, nobody can stop it!

Homura: At this rate, both of you will lose stamina!

Lui: Take this!

Bia: Let's try this again!

(Thunder crashes)

Lui and Bia: GUILTY/DISTRESS UPPER!!!

Ilya: HYAH!!! IFRITOR!!! (Summon avatar)

Homura: (Roars) HYDRA!!! (Summon avatar)

Hanami: Hydra and Ifritor dodges the hit again!

Ilya: (Gasps) Too close for comfort.

Homura: Whew! Almost.

(With Bel)

(Sparks crackling)

Bel: (Laughs) Just a little more, and you shall be complete.

Jinemon: Something good's brewing in here. (Chuckles)

Barbatos and Hydra both starting to slow down, but Hydra's High Eternal Driver gave it more spin to stabilize itself as Barbatos stopped spinning.

Machine: Magma Ifritor and Tropical Hydra with a survivor finish! Point standings, 1-0!

Ilya: Told you so! All I need is just one attack! And now the 1st round belongs to me! (Hisses)

Hanami: Now that's one for the Scarlet Lightning, Ilya Mao, and the Shady Vampire, Homura Tachibana! With catlike grace, they snatched a point from the Dark Queen and the Fiend of Ogre Island.

Bella: Don't feel bad, Sis! You'll get the next one!

Bia: I'm not upset. It's just one point.

Lui: (Laughs) Go on and celebrate that win, 'cause, you see, there won't be a second one.

Ilya: Hmph. We'll see about that.

Homura: The second one is you losing.

(Thunder crashing)
