Bel was jumping on the bed.

Bel: That Lui guy was good! I gotta hand it to him! He's a worthy opponent! No wonder he's Blading royalty like me! His Bey has some serious power! But even still, it makes no difference.

Bel: The Dark Prince is still stronger! He's no match for Destruction Belfyre! (Laughs)

Ranzo: Hate to break it to you, Bel.

Bel: Huh?

Ranzo: You may have ended up winning against Lui at the very end, but that doesn't erase all those times you lost to him right before.

Bel: I was never losing! I was simply preparing myself for victory!

Ranzo: Well, you must have been really, really ready to win!

Bashara: It's best to just accept he doesn't lose, Ranzo.

Bashara: It's part of being the Dark Prince. That's why he's so powerful.

Bel: See? Bashara gets it! That's why you're the smart one! I don't ever lose to anyone! That's why I'm the Dark Prince! (Laughs)

Rashad and Ilya were hearing Bel laughing from the door.

Ilya: Hmm? There he goes again, ranting from his high horse.

Rashad: He battled when he wasn't supposed to.

Rashad: I can't forgive that, but I can recognize his impressive upgrades. He did the work and was able to overwhelm Lúinor.

Ilya: What, do you think it's perfect too?

Rashad: Maybe for him, it is, yeah. But for me, the perfect Bey's right here... Valtryek.

(Later)

Wakiya: All right! Now that we're, gathered, listen up! The Great Aerial Tour was a remarkable success! I'm sure you're wondering who will be the lucky Blader crowned MVP!

Bella: There's an MVP?

Ryuka: No one told me we were doing titles!

Wakiya: Of course not. The idea came to me just now.

Hanna: Whew! It must be tough keeping up with Wakiya's whims.

Jinemon: Wakiya's in charge here, so he can do anything he pleases. (Chuckles)

Bia: That's exactly why he's the Beyblade Commissioner, Grandfather.

Bel: (Chuckles)

Ranzo: What are you giggling about, amigo?

Bel: It should be obvious at this point. I'm the only real option for MVP.

Ryuka: 😒 Yeah right.

Wakiya: The moment you've all been waiting for! The one chosen MVP of the Great Aerial Tour...

Wakiya: is Rashad Goodman!

Bella: Rashad?!

Bel: How is he up there?!

Rashad: It's me?

Bel climbs on Wakiya's podium.

Bel: Why Rashad over me?! I'm the one who beat Valt and Free and even beat Lui! If anyone's the MVP here, it's me!

Wakiya: Oh, please! Get real, Bel! There's no way you'd ever be the Tour MVP!

Wakiya: You don't respect the rules! An MVP would never cause me so many sleepless nights! It needs to be someone who respects other Bladers!

Bel: (Gasps)

Bella: He's right, little bro! You never follow any rules, you interrupt people's battles, and you keep giving Wakiya so much trouble because of you!

Wakiya: But setting all that aside, if memory serves me right, you lost to Rashad earlier in the tour!

Bel: Then I'll challenge Rashad and win this time! Eh?

Wakiya: I hereby declare Rashad the Tour's MVP! Congrats! Well done! And since you're the winner of that title, you'll be getting a pretty awesome prize as well.

Rashad: I get a prize?

Hanna: Do you think it's something tasty, like ice cream or a cake?

Valt: (Laughs)

Bia: Oh, Hanna.

Wakiya: And your prize today... is a special request battle!

Haruki, Kiyamas, Suiros, and Daizora Sisters: A request battle?

Wakiya: He can request any Blader to battle, and I'll make it so! And I mean anyone! It could be Lui, Free, Valt, Demi, or even Shu Kurenai of that's who you desire.

Bel: Huh?

Wakiya: With my influence, I can get anyone Rashad wants to battle!

Valt: It's only fair! We knew how frustrated you were that you couldn't battle Lui, Demi, or Free, so now you can pick anyone you want!

Rashad: So I get to pick any Blader I wanna battle, huh?

Wakiya: That's right! Just give me a name, and we can make it happen for you!

Rashad: Then the person I choose...

All: (Gasps)

Rashad: The Dark Prince, Bel Daizora!

Bel: Huh?!

Valt: Bel, huh?

Rashad: Yeah. I wanna battle against you. What do you say?

Bel: Of course you'd choose me! I accept your challenge.

Wakiya: Really? Bel?

Rashad: I want to battle the Dark Prince, not this pageantry.

He takes the crown off his head and places it on Wakiya's.

Wakiya: Uh...

Bel: But if I win this one, I'm the Tour's MVP!

Wakiya: (Sighs) Fine then. My mind's made up. Let's liven things one more time on our tour!

All: All right!/Whoo-hoo!

(Tonight)

Rashad: (Together, we'll be sure to beat Belfyre. You're the perfect Bey, Valtryek. With you, I'm unstoppable.)

(Door whooshes)

Rashad: Hmm? Ilya.

Ilya: Interested in learning what Belfyre's weakness is?

Rashad: Its weakness?

Ilya: I could tell you as thanks for all the support you gave me during my battle against Lui and Bia back there.

Rashad: If you really know Belfyre's weakness, you should tell Bel. I don't need to know to win.

Ilya: (Sighs) Why am I not surprised? Good luck with the next battle! Can't wait for you to crush the Dark Prince.

(With Bel)

He was in a room trying to pose with the crown on his head.

Bella and Ranzo come in to see him.

Bella: Yo!

Bel: (sputters)

He takes the crown off and puts it behind his back.

Ranzo: Where's Bashara?

Bel: I don't know. I haven't seen him!

Ranzo: Huh?

Ranzo: Hopefully he shows up soon. You're gonna need some of his analysis and advice on strategies to win this.

Bel: He can keep that advice to himself! The Dark Prince doesn't require assistance from anyone! And I already won a point against Rashad before I upgraded Belfyre, so next time will be even easier! It's basically like I've won already, isn't it? (Cackles)

Bella: You make it sound so easy.

Ilya: Since Bashara isn't around, you'll probably be needing my help.

Ranzo: Huh?

Ilya: I mean, if you're interested in hearing about Valtryek's weakness.

Ranzo: You know Valtryek's weakness?!

Ilya: 'Course I do!

Bel: The Dark Prince doesn't need to know stuff like that!

Bella: You should be! Because Rashad isn't some Blader you can take lightly!

Ilya: Your sister's right, Rashad's a tough opponent. To beat him, you'll wanna know his weakness at the very least.

Ranzo: And you know Belfyre's weakness too, isn't that right?

Bel: Belfyre has no weakness!

Ranzo: How do we know you didn't go to Rashad and tell him about Belfyre?

Ilya: We'll never know.

Ranzo: (Gasps)

Ilya: (Chuckles)

Ranzo: I know she's a bit suspicious, but I think you'd be better off with her on your side.

Bella: I concur.

Bel: Whatever! Do as you wish!

Ilya: (Chuckles)

Rashad: You want to be my training partner?

Bashara: I'm not delusional. I know Balkesh is no substitute for a Bey like Belfyre, but I have this growing need inside me to defeat Bel, and it's just as strong as your is, so...

Rashad puts his hand on his shoulder.

Rashad: I think you should should just stick by Bel's side for now. We both know he could really use your help.

Bashara: Yeah? Try telling him that! The Dark Prince doesn't need help from anybody. He's made that quite clear.

Bashara: Rashad, do you remember what we talked about back at El Astro?

His mind flashed that he accidentally dropped Demise Spellscraper as Bia and Rashad came as she picked his Bey up.

Bashara: Back then, I convinced myself that I'd never be able to win against Bel.

He remembered Rashad told him that if he wants to beat Belfyre, he must toss Spellscraper away or he won't be able to change or become stronger.

Bashara: But still, you-- you inspired me to forge Balkesh, and...

His mind flashed again as Balkesh defeated Belfyre, Balam, and Barbatos.

Bashara: Rashad, you inspire others and give them the confidence to improve. That's your power, and it's incredible. When I'm around you, I feel like I can get stronger too, and that's why I wanna help you in return.

Rashad: Hmm. (Chuckles)

Bia was there behind the door and heard everything.

Bia: You're really starting to grow up, Bashara.

(Later)

Hanami: Sunrise or sunset? Who cares? We're on battle time! We've officially reached the pinnacle of The Great Aerial Tour with today's battle! It's a clash between Rashad Goodman and Bel Daizora! Whoever wins it will be declared the Tour's MVP! This just in. Quote, "In an affront to Blading itself, with a complete lack of respect for the rules, Bel did in fact defeat Lui in an unsanctioned match! However, let's not forget that Rashad Goodman has already scored a burst victory against Bel and Bella at the very start of the Tour!

Hanami: Can the Dark Prince get his revenge against Valtryek? Don't go anywhere, 'cause we're about to find out!

Valt: This is gonna be a match to remember.

Wakiya: It seems like the whole world has their eyes on this one!

Hanna: Huh? Wait. Where is he? Where's Bashara?

Haruki: Haven't seen him. He's gonna miss out.

(With Bashara)

Bel: (Cackles)

Bel: You're going to face down the strongest Bey in the world, my Destruction Belfyre!

Bashara: (Looks like Bel's in Attack Mode. He'll be concentrating on using attack power to settle this one.)

Rashad: I'm sorry to say that's where you're mistaken. Valtryek's the strongest Bey, no matter what you try!

Bel: I'm an unstoppable force at this point. You don't stand a chance! Now get ready to see what real power looks like.

Machine: 1st battle. Ready. Set!

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

Belfyre used the L-Gear and knocked Valtryek away by hitting the wall.

Rashad: (Gasps)

Bel: (Laughs) Not expecting that?

Hanami: Belfyre's power can't be contained! Look at the way it sent Valtryek flying back!

Rashad: Valtryek! It's time for a Rush Launch!

Hanami: Whoa! Valtryek is stepping right back up and matching Belfyre's power! These two are neck and neck!

Belfyre used its Venture Driver in high speed as Valtryek went and chase after it. Belfyre went to the 4th orbit as Valtryek went on the 3rd.

Bashara: Rashad, now quick!

Rashad: Ultra Flying Upper!!!

Valtryek activated its Shot Driver,

but Belfyre reflected it by using the S-Gear.

Bashara: Wait, Ultra Flying Upper isn't working?

Ryuka: That's why Bel switched the Gear over.

Hanami: Oh, my goodness! That was a powerful hit, but it was shut down by a stubborn Belfyre!

The V, S, F, and L-Gear started glowing as Belfyre turned golden.

Bel: (Yells) LET'S GO, BELFYRE!!!

Belfyre: I've got this! (Summon avatar)

Bel: I'M BRINGING YOU TO RUINS!!! DESTRUCTION WRECKER!!!

Belfyre used the drift zone and headed straight to Valtryek and sent it flying up.

Rashad: (Gasps)

Machine: Destruction Belfyre with a ring out finish! Point standings, 1-0.

Hanami: Whoa! If you blinked, you could have missed that lightning-fast attack! Belfyre locked on to its target and pounced with overwhelming strength!

Bella: Heck yeah! Bel, you made the Dark Princess

Bel: I told you. Belfyre's the perfect Bey! (Laughs)

Rashad: (Growls and Gasps)

Bia: (I can see right through your eyes, Rashad. What are you planning?)
