Phelix: (breathes deeply and chuckles)

Bel: (Chuckles)

Ranzo: Wait! Not so fast! It's "Phelix," isn't it? I thought you and Bia were on some kind of grand quest to battle Rashad, not Bel here!

Bel: Stop your meddling! He said he wants to battle against the Dark Prince, 'kay? That's why he and sis traveled all the way to Phantom's Gate!

Ranzo: Bia, can you please set Bel straight?

Bia: Bel... The reason I left home is because I wanted to help Phelix.

Phelix: (Chuckles)

Phelix: I'm saving Rashad as my last victim, but his time will come.

Ryuka: Last victim?

Bella: Huh?

Ryuka: Huh. So I'm not fully following this cryptic stuff, but is that why you two defeated Demi, Haruki, Bashara, and Ilya?

Bel: Think somewhere else, Ryuka!

Ranzo: Phelix, forget Bel! Battle me instead! I've got pizzazz. Name's Ranzo Kiyama!

Bel: (Grunting)

Ranzo: Bashara? Ilya? Haruki? Demi? Hah! They've got nothing on me!

Bel: 💢 (Growls)

Phelix: (Sighs) You're in my way. Step aside.

Ranzo: Excuse me?!

Bel puts the hook on Ranzo's shorts

Bel: (Chuckles) He said you're in the way, so begone!

Ranzo: (Yelps and screams)

(Boing)

Ranzo: (Yelping) Why's this happening again?! (Groans) Bel! (Growls)

Bel: (Laughing)

Ranzo: As soon as I get down from here... you're gonna be sorry!

Ryuka: Ay caramba.

Hanna: Ranzo, will you ever learn?

Jinemon: How he falls for the same trick every time is one of the most endearing qualities of our Ranzo. (Laughs)

Bella: That's one way of looking at it, Grandpa.

Bel: I saw your battles. You both aren't half-bad.

Bel: How about I give you the great honor of a lifetime, the chance to battle me?

Bella: Count me in, too. The Dark Princess likes a challenge against her sister's newly evolved Bey.

Bia: You two think you'll stand a chance against us?

Phelix: (Chuckles) Prominence Phoenix and I accept, and we will destroy you.

Bel: (Grunts and chuckles)

Ranzo: (Grunting)

Bel: Hmm? Stop your bouncing up there.

Ranzo: (Grumbles) Zip it!

Ryuka: Hey, hermano, what's that you're holding?

Ranzo: Eh? Hmm?

Ranzo: (Yelps) Would you look at that?! Your fate lies in my hands!

Daizoras: Huh?

Ranzo: (cackles)

Hanna: Huh?

Ranzo: Pretty nifty, huh? What do you think?

Bel: All I see is you plugged up the trapdoor! What's the meaning of this?!

Ranzo: Look a little closer!

Bel: Hmm?

Bella: Look, it's got ridges.

Ryuka: It's that thingamajig that shakes up how you use this stadium!

Bel: And what thingamajig is that? Oh, wait!

Ranzo: That's right! And if we do things right, it's gonna make Stamina Type Beys shine brighter than a pair of polished shades 'cause of their endurance! Basically, doesn't matter if it's Phoenix, Barbatos, Balam, or Belfyre.

Ranzo: Roktavor's got this in the bag. So how 'bout I get my party on?

Bel: You really think that'll make a difference?! It doesn't matter what stadium it is! Belfyre will demolish anything in its path!

Ryuka: Calm it down. There's no need to act so tough.

Bel: I'm not acting tough! I'm the toughest Blader there is!

Ranzo: I'm the one who'll get powered up from this setup!

Bel: Then why don't I battle you and see how well your theory holds up?

Bia: (You two... never seem to change... It's almost heartwarming to me.)

Ranzo: Nah, I'm booked! I've got myself a battle with Barbatos and Phoenix lined up!

Bel: Hey, how many times do we have to go over this?! They wants to battle the Dark Prince!

Ranzo: I called it first! They're gonna change their mind so fast!

Bel: In your dreams! You can't really believe you'd stand a chance...

Hanna: And here they go again.

Ranzo: I'm a world-class superstar, ain't I?!

Hanna: Hey!

Kiyamas and Daizoras: Hmm?

Hanna: I got it! Why don't Bella, Bel, Ryuka, and Ranzo battle each other, and then whoever wins that can go up against Phelix and Bia? (Giggles)

Bella: That sounds like a great idea, Hanna!

Ryuka: Smart thinking, mí amiga!

Bel: All right! I'll take you on, then!

Ranzo: Yeah! Watch and learn, you two! Professor Ranzo's here to lay down a lesson in sweet Blading plays!

Bel: The only one you're both gonna learn from is me, right after this win!

Phelix: Enough. Hurry up, and get this over with.

(Meanwhile at Nexus)

Bashara: (Sighs)

Ilya: Now where, oh, where could they have run off to?

Bashara: Oh, do you mean Phelix and Bia?

Ilya: Yeah, the guy who said he was gonna "take everything away" from Rashad.

Bashara: Pretty extreme. Why would he have such a huge grudge against Rashad?

Rashad: I don't even know myself.

Bashara and Ilya: (Gasps)

Ilya: Rashad!

Rashad: To be honest, I barely know the guy. I only battled him one time.

Ilya: At the European Junior finals, right?

Bashara: It's totally normal to feel frustrated after losing. But to still hold such a major grudge against you. Did anything else happen during the final?

Rashad: All I did was win.

(Flashback)

Phelix: Mark my words. My fires will rage until all is ash drifting in the wind. You'll fall to Prominence Phoenix and its scarlet flames!

(End of flashback)

Rashad: (What could have happened to make him hate me so much?)

(Broadcast beeps)

Rashad: (Gasps)

Hanami: Hope I caught you at a good time, Bladers and Bey fans! 'Cause I got word on some exciting news that's gonna blow your mind! You remember that uninvited Blader and the Dark Queen the other day? Well, his name's Phelix Payne, and he's made a bad habit of showing up unannounced with Bia Daizora, this time at Phantom's Gate!

All: (Gasps)

Rashad: Phantom's Gate, huh?

Hanami: We were expecting an epic showdown between Belfyre, Balam, Barbatos, and Phoenix, but it looks like these Bladers have got other plans! To our surprise, Bella and Bel Daizora and Ryuka and Ranzo Kiyama have taken to the stage instead! It looks like Bia and Phelix will be battling against whichever Bladers wins this showdown! Now the stadium's looking a little different than last time! I venture to say this battle will be completely different than I what we've seen before!

Valt: I wonder what kind of battle we're in store for now. You think they've got any new tricks up their sleeve?

Shu: I'm a lot more concerned about Phelix and Bia.

Akane: Yeah, Phelix's a strange one. I didn't know that Bia was with him the whole time.

Valt: And that grudge they got against Rashad seems like such serious business to them, doesn't it?

Shu: It's their driving force. Bia and Phelix wants to get their revenge out on the stadium.

Valt: What do you think? Is there anything we can do?

Akane: We can only help by defeating Phoenix and Barbatos.

Valt: Huh?

Shu: Right now, Phelix and Bia are consumed by this conquest for strength,

Shu: and if they keep winning like this, they'll never let go of their grudges.

Valt: What a lucky break! Battling's my favorite thing!

(At Phantom's Gate)

Jinemon: There's something so special about Blading, don't you think?

Phelix: Hmm?

Bia: Grandfather.

Jinemon: My mischievous pranksters of grandkids have been fascinated with Blading since the day they started, and now they takes to the stadium every day.

Bia: I remember those times. We used to love Blading ever since.

Jinemon: I've grown to love watching them battle. It's wonderful how life throws us little surprises. (Laughs)

Bia: Grandfather, I wanted to thank you for taking care of my siblings while I was away.

Jinemon: Anything for my eldest granddaughter. (Laughs)

Hanna: Mm, Jiji, did you say something to Phelix and Bia over there?

Jinemon: I was just talking to myself.

Drone: 1st battle!

Hanami: Get ready, 'cause the Daizora and Kiyama siblings are firing themselves up to start! And with no way of falling to the lower level, it begs the question, "What does this mean for our battle"?!

Kiyamas and Daizoras: (Chuckles)

Drone: Ready, and set!

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

Hanami: Both Roktavors waste no time, immediately hopping straight into center stage! How's Balam and Belfyre gonna attack now?! They're locked up tighter than cookies before dinner!

Bella: Hide all you want! We'll break in!

Hanami: Can Belfyre and Balam do it?! No! They're being blocked by the stadium itself!

Ryuka: What was that about breaking in?

Ranzo: Come on, amigos! Try attacking us if you can!

Bel: (Growls) You'll regret ever taunting me! Now go! Devastate Launch!

Bella: Devil Launch!

The Almight and Metal Dimension Driver tips gains an increase in rotation speed, allowing Belfyre and Balam to accelerate at increasing speed and bombard the two Roktavors with swift strikes. But they can't get in close.

Ranzo: (Laughs) It's the power of the groove, baby! You can't even get close!

Bella: We're not done with you yet! Another Devil Launch!

Bel: Another Devastate Launch!

Hanami: Belfyre, Balam, and both Roktavors aren't synching up! They've yet to make contact! Will this end up a battle of endurance?!

Daizoras: (Chuckles)

Phelix: (Gasps)

Bia: I see...

(At Beigoma Academy)

Valt: The Dark Prince and Princess sure knows their stuff! They thought this out!

Shu: Yeah.

Shu: As long as they keep repeating Devastate and Devil Launch... eventually their bound to hit 'em.

Belfyre and Balam almost hit the Roktavor duo.

Ryuka: Ay, ay, ay! A little too close for comfort there!

Daizoras: Take center stage! Balam/Belfyre!

Ranzo: Roktavor, bob and weave!

Hanami: You've got company, Roktavors! Balam and Belfyre's no longer being blocked!

Kiyamas: Huh?!

Daizoras: (Scoffs)

Balam hits Ryuka's Roktavor.

Ryuka: You wanna play that game, huh?

Ranzo: You asked for it!

Ranzo's Roktavor hits Belfyre.

Bel: Right back at you!

4 of the Beys are keep on hitting each other.

Daizoras: (Moans)

Kiyamas: (Moans)

Bel: I've had enough of this!

Bella: Just give up!

Ryuka: Like heck I will!

Ranzo: Roktavor, make a run for it!

Daizoras: (Yells) It's over! Devastate/Devil Flash!!!

Belfyre and Balam builds up speed and rams into the two Roktavors with the Devastate and Devil Blades, delivering either a power slash attack or ram.

Bel: (Scoffs)

Bella: You're done. (snaps her fingers)

Kiyamas: (Wails)

Drone: Devastate Belfyre and Devil Balam with a burst finish! With a score of 2-0, Bel and Bella Daizora are the winners!

Hanami: Belfyre and Balam lands a huge double hit with Devil and Devastate Flash! And with that, it's bye-bye, Bey!

Bel: (Cackles) You finally getting it? No matter where or when, the Dark Prince will triumph over any foes. Hmph. Hmm?

Kiyamas: (Grunts)

Bella: Guys?

Ranzo: After you've defeated Bia and Phelix, I wanna battle you again.

Daizoras: Huh?

Ryuka: You better not lose, guys. I mean it.

Bel: (Gasps) Huh?

Phelix: (raspy breathing)

Bel: (Yelps)

Bella: Geez, man! We need you to get a bell.

Phelix: Now, Dark Prince and Princess, your time has come.

Ranzo: So, uh, what should I do with this thing?

Phelix: Eh? Do as you wish..

Bia: Don't need it.

Ranzo: And you guys?

Daizoras: The Dark Prince/Princess wants to go with the trapdoor this time around!

Hanami: Now it's all been leading up to this moment here! It's scary meets spooky, as the Dark Princess and Prince steps up go against the Dark Queen and Phoenix, Bia Daizora and Phelix Payne! And the hole is back, so you better watch your step! With both levels opened up, this match will take us all over the map! You excited, Bey fans?! I know I'm feeling the heat of battle already!

Drone: 1st battle!

Bel: Now the Dark Prince shall cause the Phoenix to flee in fear!

Bella: Get ready as the Dark Princess will send Barbatos into the abyss!

Phelix looks at the drone's camera. At Nexus, Rashad's team is also watching.

Rashad: (Grumbles)

Phelix: (Are you watching, Rashad? One by one, I'll take them down until I get to you.)

Drone: Ready, and set!

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

Bella: Show us what you two got for the Dark Princess!

Bel: On this twisted stage, the Phoenix shall learn

Bel: the power of the Dark Prince!
