Jinemon: Good day, Valt! We've all gathered here as per your request.

Valt: Hey, thanks for comin'! Is it true? I heard Belfyre evolved into something stronger!

Bel: It's true! Awakening or no awakening, Belfyre will cast Valtryek into the abyss!

Ranzo: Awakening?

Bashara: What's that mean?

Homura: I was the ref for Valt and Rashad's battle yesterday. And that's when Valtryek awakened! In the middle of battle, it... Well, then it... (Groans) Well, it just got a whole lot stronger, okay?

Haruki: (Mentally) Well, that's a lie.

Homura: (To Haruki) You're not helping! (To her friends) But get this! Rashad was really close to winning until then.

Ryuka: Homura, no offense, but I'm finding this all pretty hard to believe.

Homura: It's the truth.

Valt: Homura's right. That's how it happened.

Homura: I told you!

Valt: It was close, one of those battles you couldn't tell who was gonna take it!

Rashad: No, it wasn't!

Valt: Eh?

Rashad: It wasn't close at all! The victory always belonged to you!

Bella: Rashad.

Bel: You again.

Rashad: I mean it, Valt! You were nearly perfect back there!

Valt: (Sighs) All right! Now that everybody's finally here.

Valt: You, Bel, Bella, Bia, Ranzo, Ryuka, Bashara, Rashad, and Homura, in my opinion, the 8 of you have got what it takes to be some of the best Bladers ever!

Valt: And so I've prepared a surprise for you! Look!

Bella: That is one big airship!

Ryuka: But who's flying it?

Wakiya: (Chuckles)

Bia: It's Wakiya Murasaki.

Hanna: What?! What's that?!

Wakiya: Hey, Valt! Since this was your idea, I spared no expense on it!

Valt: Hi, Wakiya! Thank you!

Bel: Who's that?

Bashara: That's Wakiya Murasaki!

Hanna: He's one of the Blading Legends!

Homura transforms into Haruki.

Haruki: Another Legend is here!

Valt: All right, get ready, 'cause we're about to lift off!

Bel and Ranzo: Huh?

Wakiya: And I call it the Great Aerial Tour! Isn't that great?!

Bashara: Great Aerial Tour?

Bia: I don't follow.

Hanna: Um, so where are we touring?

Jinemon: (Laughs)

Valt: We're gonna go see all the Blading Legends so you can battle them all over the world!

Bel and Ranzo: Whoa!!

Bella and Ryuka: All over the world?!

Bia: Incredible!

The Bladers went on board and fly across the sea.

Bella: So where in a world is this thing headed to?

Wakiya: The first destination on our tour is Blading sacred ground!

Rashad: What do you mean, sacred?

Bel: Stop being vague! Where is that?!

Wakiya: You'll see when we get there!

Ranzo: So which Legend will we battle when we do?

Wakiya: That's another surprise for you to find out once we get there! Let's start things off with a special event!

Bel and Bella: Special event?

Wakiya: Time for a scavenger hunt!

Daizoras, Kiyamas and Bashara: Eh?

Valt: (Laughs)

Rashad: Hmm?

Haruki: A scavenger hunt?

Jinemon: (Laughs)

Wakiya: That's right, a scavenger hunt! We gathered up all your Beys earlier and stashed them somewhere on this airship! There's only one rule! You must search the airship and find your own Bey! The order you find your Beys will be the order you battle when we land, meaning first come, first served! Now let the scavenger hunt begin!

Bel: Yeah! Catch you later. I'm winning this!

Bella: Yeah right!

Ranzo: In your dreams, Bel!

Ryuka: You too, Bella!

Bia: I will find you, Barbatos.

Haruki: Guess we have no choice!

The Bladers split up searching their own Beys.

The Suiros and Jinemon checked the main hall. Hanna looked under the chair and found Roktavor taped under the chair.

Hanna: (Yelps)

Jinemon and Bashara came to her and looked at each other the same page.

With the Kiyamas, there was no luck for their Beys.

Ranzo: Agh! Where are you?! Come on, Roktavor. Help a buddy out.

Ryuka: We really need you right now, amigo.

With Bia, she's still looking for Barbatos.

Bia: I still can't sense you anywhere, Barbatos.

With Bel and Haruki, they were about to check the battle deck.

Bel: If it were up to me, I'd hide the Beys somewhere out here. And why are you with me?

Haruki: I just thought you needed... company. Yes, company.

Homura: (Mentally) Well that was smooth.

Haruki: Be quiet!

Bel: Thanks, but the Dark Prince don't need company.

Haruki: At least help out a little bit.

Rashad: Hey, Haruki, Dark Prince!

Haruki: Rashad!

Bel: "Hey" yourself!

Rashad: I've already checked the deck. There's nothing out here!

Bel: Uh, I knew that! I just came out here to enjoy the fresh air!

Rashad: (Laughs) Sure you did, Bel.

Haruki: 💧 And you call yourself the Dark Prince.

Homura: (Mentally) For the Dark Prince, he's the prince of lies.

Bel: (Growls)

The ground was shaking.

Haruki: What was that?

Bel: (Groans) The floor! (Gasps)

Haruki: We're gonna fall!

Bel: Quick, let's go! It's falling!

Haruki: Rashad, what are you doing!? (Gasps) Bel!!!

Bel: (Screams and Wails) Eh? Huh?!

Haruki: An invincible floor!

Rashad: (Laughs) (Stomps on the floor)

Haruki: (Yelps and hang onto Bel) Don't do that!

Rashad: It's a perfectly safe hardened glass floor!

Bel: (Grumbles) I know that! I was enjoying the view!

Rashad: (Laughs)

Bella: (Smirks) Well, well, well, look who's found his future bride.

Bel and Haruki looked at each other and blushed.

Haruki: (Blushing) Y-y-you can put me down now.

Bel: (Blushing) Oh.

Bella: ~Someone's in love~

Bel and Haruki: (Blushing) BELLA!!!!

As for Bashara, he was looking for his Bey in the bathroom.

Bashara: I don't think they'd hide it in a place like this, but you never know. (Gasps)

Bashara found Balkesh in the vent.

For Bia, she looked under the beds and found Barbatos.

Bia: There you are.

Bashara made it back before Bia.

Bashara: I found Balkesh!

Bia: I have found Barbatos.

Wakiya: That means Bashara will be going first and Bia will be going second!

Ranzo: (Sighs) They beat us fair and square.

Ryuka: Yeah, who cares, Hermano?

Wakiya: Hey, what's the matter, you two? Are you giving up already?

Ryuka: You think someone like us gives up?

Ranzo: No! Not Ranzo Never-Gives-Up Kiyama!

Ranzo sats down and heard metal.

Ryuka: Hermano, you found it!

Ranzo: (Squeals) Roktavor, it's you! We took too long, so you came to find us instead!

Ryuka: (Rubbing their Bey against her cheek) It's so good to see you again, amigo!

Wakiya: And Ranzo and Ryuka claims third place!

Bella: Guys! (Panting)

Bia: Bella. Did you find it?

Bella: (Shows Balam to her sister) You know it.

Wakiya: And Bella claims fourth place!

(With Haruki)

Haruki: This is all hopeless.

Homura: (Mentally) Hey, do you want to switch with me? I can find it either way.

Haruki: Sure, it's all yours.

Haruki transforms into Homura.

Homura: If I were a Bey that's hiding, where would I be?

(With Bel)

Bel: I'm just getting the feeling it's out here after all. Come on, Belfyre. Where are you?

Belfyre: I'm right by your side, Bel. Can't you feel me?

Bel: (Gasps) Right by my side. Uh...

Bel gets closer to the stadium and check it out. He looked under and found him taped.

Bel: There you are!

(With Rashad)

He found Valtryek in the closet.

Rashad: Finally! Found you!

(With Homura)

Homura: A-ha! Found you!

(Later)

Wakiya: With that, Bel officially comes in fifth. Rashad is sixth right behind him, and Homura is seventh!

Bel and Rashad: (Groans)

Homura: I'm dead last!?

Hanna: Way to go, Bashara! First place!

Jinemon: (Laughs)

Bashara: All right.

(Meanwhile)

Bia: Dinner is served. I made all this food by myself. So please, enjoy yourselves.

Homura: ✨✨ Whoa, Bia! Since when did you became a cook!?

Ryuka: You're so amazing, Amigo!

Bel: ✨✨ (Squeals)

Ranzo: ✨✨ Ahh!

Rashad: 😋 (Chuckles)

After they ate, all the Bladers went to sleep. Bel was in bed and Ranzo was on the floor shivering.

Bia: (Sighs)

Bia put the blanket on top of Ranzo to stop shivering.

(The next day)

Wakiya: Here we are! We made it to the sacred ground!

Homura: Is this place...?!

Bella: It can't be!

Ryuka: Yes it is!

Valt: Beigoma Academy! Man, it's been a while!

Wakiya: When people talk about Beyblade sacred ground, this is the one and only!

Bia: Wakiya, is this the place where you and Valt grew a Bey-Club?

Wakiya: In fact, this is the very place where Valt and I first started blading!

Ranzo: So this is Rantaro and Ranjiro's old stomping grounds.

Rashad: Wow, the place where Valt started.

Valt: Hey, so who's the Legend they'll be facing? Just tell us already, would ya?

Wakiya: Isn't it obvious? The first Blading Legend on this tour is... none other than you, Valt Aoi!

Valt: Huh? Wait! Me?

(Meanwhile)

Hanami: Ready, Bey fans? Today marks the start of a new Blading adventure! Lift off on the Great Aerial Tour! Our 8 Quad Bladers are here to challenge the one, the only, Valt Aoi! First up to test his mettle is Bashara Suiro!

Bashara: (My Balkesh won against Belfyre, Barbatos, and Balam. I have no doubt it'll be able to endure all of Valtryek's attacks.)

Valt: Ever since you beat Bel, Bella, and Bia, I wanted to battle you. Let's have a good one, okay?

Bashara: (So this is the awakened Valtryek Homura was talking about.) (Grunts)

Rashad: Look at that. He's beginning to falter. If he's gonna win, he can't get shaken like that.

Bel: Hey, Bashara! I'm gonna be the one who beats Valt. So you can go ahead and lose, ok?

Hanna: Bel, you can't go around saying stuff like that!

Homura: Are you even his friend or not!?

Machine: 1st battle!

Bashara: (Chuckles) ("Go ahead and lose," huh?) (Growls) (Not gonna happen!)

Machine: Ready. Set!

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

Hanami: Salvage Valtryek comes in with fierce attacks, but Roar Balkesh says "Not today!"

Bashara: Our defenses can hold off anything, Balkesh! You keep it up!

Bella: Wow, look at Bashara go.

Homura: He's not half bad.

Hanna: Go for the win, Bashara!

Balkesh turns to a perfect circle, increasing its defenses.

Homura: Wait. What the heck!? Never seen a Bey do like that!

Haruki: (Mentally) Balkesh has turned into a perfect circle!

Hanami: Balkesh transformed. It's like a perfect circle with its defenses on the rise!

Valt: All right, Valtryek! Let's go!

Hanami: And here comes Valtryek, pouncing down from the fourth orbit! Will Balkesh be able to hold strong!?

Valt: ULTRA SALVAGE WHIP!!!

Hanami: Balkesh has been bursted into pieces!

Bashara: That's impossible.

Machine: Salvage Valtryek with a burst finish! Valt Aoi wins!

Valt: Yeah! That was fun!

Everyone: (Gasps)

Bia: That's the true strength of Salvage Valtryek.

Rashad: Awakening, huh?

Bel: Imagine going head to head and beating him. Man, I can't wait for my turn!

It was Bia's turn.

Bia: Let's go, Barbatos! DISTRESS WRECKER!!!

Valt: ULTRA SALVAGE WHIP!!!

Valtryek shot Barbatos up in the air and bursted.

Hanami: Barbatos just got bursted with just one shot!

Bia: (Groans)

Next is the Kiyamas turn.

Ryuka: DOUBLE WINGED CYCLONE!!!

Ranzo: BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELT!!! 'CAUSE, AMIGO, YOU'VE GOT A BUMPY RIDE AHEAD OF YA!!! GO!!!

Valt: ULTRA SALVAGE WHIP!!!

Hanami: Well, that was quick! Both Roktavors are down!

Ryuka: (Wails)

Ranzo: Are you kidding me?!

Valt: Hmph!

Hanami: Now this is what Valtryek's all about, power, power and more power!

Bel: The stronger and stronger that Valtryek proves to be, the more Belfyre's gonna enjoy winning!

Ranzo: (Grumbles) You can't possibly think you can win!

Ryuka: You're our only hope now, Bella.

Bella: Heed my words, fans of Valt Aoi!

Bella: I, the Dark Princess will defeat your precious Blading Legend, so get ready to see some true power! (Cackles)
