Hanami: It's a question on everyone's mind: which team is the strongest ever? The Dark Princess and Balam narrowly claim the 1st point with a ring out finish! With a score of 1-0, Bella Daizora's in the lead!

Bella: (Scoffs) You've tested my patience long enough, so prepare to be Burst!

Bashara: I won't let you end it that easy.

(Flashback)

Bashara: I have a request to make. Let me do the 1st round.

Ilya: Judging by that face, that was not a request. You're set on this, huh?

Bashara: You don't have to worry. I can handle the Dark Prince. I have a strategy.

Demi: Either him or the Dark Princess.

Ilya: Of it means that much to you, who am I to say no?

Homura: If it makes you feel better, go right ahead.

Rashad: I look forward to your win.

Bashara: Me, too.

(End of flashback)

Bashara: (I know what I'm doing. My strategy's sound.)

Demi: Try not to lose again, Bashara!

Ilya: Just keep it up! You almost had her!

Rashad: Believe in yourself, Bashara!

Homura: We're counting on you, dude!

Bashara: (Grunts)

Bashara: Balkesh can pull this off! I'm sure of it.

Ranzo: You just need one point more! Don't get obsessive about bursting him, amiga!

Bel: That's right! A quick Burst finish would be perfect!

Ranzo: What am I, on mute or something?

Valt: Burst it! No contest!

Ryuka: Huh? You too, man?!

Ranzo: Is anyone hearing me?

The 2nd battle already started.

(Cheers and applause)

Hanami: Try as it might, Balam just can't get that Burst! Balkesh is holding firm against an onslaught by the Dark Princess! Uh-oh, both Beys are starting to lose stamina. Who will drop first? I can't take it anymore!

Bashara: Roar Balkesh!

Balkesh's Moment Driver give itself some more stamina as Balam stopped spinning first.

Referee: It's Roar Balkesh with a survivor finish! Point standings, 1-1!

Hanami: Balam dropped first Balkesh wins!

Bashara: I did it! All right!

Hanami: And just like that, Bashara Suiro catches up to Bella in the 2nd battle!

Moné: Go, Bashara! Yay! You won, you won, you won! Congrats! I knew you could do it, sweetie!

Hanna: Hey, Mom, not yet! That was 1 round. They're tied 1-to-1.

Moné: (Blushes) Oh? You don't say?

Hanna: (Whimpers)

Bel: (Shouting) Impossible! It's positively impossible!

Referee: 3rd battle!

Bel: 'Scuse me?

Bella: Bel! This is my fight, not yours! So shut up and watch!

Bel: (Groans) Why can't you Burst it?! I wanna see you Burst it right now!

Bella: I can't just battle with just only Burst finishes! I can think of some way to win on my own, thank you very much!

Bashara: (Bella's starting to panic!)

Demi: He must have noticed something.

Ilya: (Grunts) Once the momentum starts to shift towards Bashara, it won't go back that easily.

Ranzo: What have I been saying this whole time?! Stop telling her to go for a burst, amigo! Dude, why?

Valt: Bashara's able to take all those hits from the Dark Princess. It's cool to see him in his element.

Ryuka: That's great and all, but at this rate--

Bella: Heed my words, I'll Burst you if it's the last thing I do!

Valt and Kiyamas: Huh?

Bel: That's the spirit, Sis!

Bella: (Scoffing) For this performance, I'll be sure to Burst your Bey!

Bashara: I'm not the same person as the one you knew before!

Hanna: Bashara, I see!

Bella: (Gasps and Scoffs)

Referee: Ready, set!

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

Once Balam hit Balkesh, its defenses went and turned to a perfect circle.

Bashara: (Grunts)

Hanami: Through it all, Roar Balkesh continues to endure! Endure! Endure!

Bashara: (Now watch me, Bella,)

Bashara: ('cause this...) THIS IS HOW I BATTLE!!!

Bella: (Gasps)

She remembered Bashara what he said back at BC Sol... She understands what he meant.

Bella: (Bashara... you have changed...) Huh?

Balam hits Balkesh again and stops losing its spin.

Referee: Roar Balkesh with a survivor finish.

Hanna: (Gasps)

Referee: With a score of 2-1, Bashara Suiro is the winner!

Bashara: (Panting and Gasps)

Bashara: YEAH!!!!

(Cheers and applause)

Moné: Bashara, you...

Hanna: You really did it, you!

Suiros: You won!

One of Moné's pompoms landed on top of Jinemon's head.

Hanna: You really won! (Whimpering) Bashara, you're amazing! Hooray! He did it, he did it! He really did it!

Hanami: This concludes round 1 of our team battles! Thanks to Bashara, Team Rashad claims the 1st point and is one step closer to victory!

Bashara goes to his team.

Homura transforms into Haruki.

Haruki: Congrats, Bashara!

Demi: You really nailed it!

Rashad: 👊 (Grunts)

Bashara: (Gasps and Grunts)

Rashad and Bashara: 🤜🤛

Rashad: Always knew you had it in you.

Bashara: (Grunts) Let's keep this up.

Ryuka: Get it together, girl. Come on! We got battles to win.

Bella: Who was that guy?

Ranzo: Huh? Bashara.

Bella: He's different than before. I mean, I can barely recognize him.

Valt: Well, maybe you finally see the real him.

Bella: Huh? (Groans)

Valt: The Blader he really is. All right, now we know our opponent! It's comeback time!

Ranzo: You sit back and watch this next round. Ranzo is up!

Wakiya: Round 2 will be a tag team battle!

All: Huh?

Ryuka: Hold up. You never told us about that.

Wakiya: I'm the commissioner for these team battles-- the one who set up this whole event-- and I won't be taking any complaints.

Ranzo: Touchy.

Bella: Touché.

Valt: (Chuckles nervously)

Moné: Will Bashara go again? That'd be nice.

Hanna: They might send him out. I'd love to see him battle again.

Valt: It's a tag team battle, huh? That's so hype!

Ryuka: I'm so down! What do you say, Valt? Let's team up and win!

Bel: I'm going out there!

Bella: Let us go again!

Valt: Huh?

Ryuka: Just leave this one to me, hermano, and Valt, okay? You should go cool off after that loss.

Bella: I'm going up again.

Bel: She was just preparing for victory, and now she's ready!

Ranzo: Victory, schmictory! Just 'cause we're Team Dark Prince and Princess doesn't mean it's only you and Bella!

Valt: All right, come on, guys. Let's get it together!

Kiyamas and Daizoras: Hey, Valt! Who are you gonna team with?!

Valt: (Groans)

Valt: I know! Why don't the 4 of you go battle together?

Kiyamas and Daizoras: Huh?

Valt: That settles it.

On Rashad's team

Ilya: I think for this next battle it should be me, Demi, Haruki, and Bashara going up.

Bashara: What?

Rashad: Sounds good.

Bashara: Huh?

Hanami: It's finally time. Bladers have been chosen and the 2nd round of our team battle is about to begin! The High Prince will be represented by the illustrious Ilya Mao, Bashara Suiro, Haruki Tachibana, and Demi Koryu!

Hanna: Yeah, nice!

Hanami: On the opposite side we've got Ranzo and Ryuka Kiyama, and the spooky specters Bella and Bel Daizora!

Bel: What's the hold up? Why's Rashad not coming up here?

Ilya: Well, I thought we'd been over this already, but if you want to battle Rashad, you have to beat us first.

Demi: Sorry, but that's just how the game works.

Ranzo: Yeah, that's right. Totally didn't forget.

Bella: Fine, if you want to lose, I'll happily oblige.

Bashara: We won't lose.

Wakiya sits down next to Valt.

Valt: Huh?

Wakiya: Too bad, Valt. I was really looking forward to seeing you team up with the Dark Princess and Prince for the tag team battle.

Valt: You were? (Shouts) Wait, is it okay for you to be here?!

Wakiya: Sure. It got boring by myself. I'd rather watch you guys from up close.

Valt:💧(Groans)

Rashad: (Ilya, Demi, Haruki, and Bashara are the perfect combination. They know everything there is to know about each other's Beys.)

Referee: Get ready!

Ryuka: Time is runnin' out fast. What's our strategy, amigo?

Bel: Our strategy? Well-- (Groans)

Ryuka and Bella: You don't have one?!

Ranzo: Fine, get in here.

The 3 of them get close to each other as Ranzo whispers to them.

Ranzo: We'll start by having both Roktavors tank Dragoness and Ifritor's attacks.

Bel: We'll start by having both Roktavors tank Dragoness and Ifritor's attacks, and then sis and I get to go out, right?

Ranzo: And then wham, bam, Hydra and Balkesh next.

Bel: And then wham! Hydra and Balkesh next!

Ranzo: (Grunting) Whose side are you on?!

Bella and Ryuka: YOU MORON!!

Demi: Here they go again.

Haruki transforms into Homura.

Homura: That never gets old, does it?

Ilya: You know, combined those four might have one full brain.

Bashara: But their plan's not bad.

Ilya: You think we should change things up?

Bashara: If we go a long with them, we at least know what they're up to, so let's not change a thing.

Demi: All right, then play along it is.

Homura: Couldn't have said better myself.

Ilya: We get along better than I thought.

Bel: Get your clammy hands off me!

Ranzo: You ruined our strategy! What do we do now?!

Bel: Sis and I gonna attack them and you and Ryuka can defend! That's my decree.

Ryuka: You call that a strategy?!

Bella: It's reckless!

Wakiya: HURRY UP AND START!!

Referee: Ready, set!

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

Hanami: 8 powerful Bladers, 8 powerful launches!

Bel: Prepare for your doom! This time you're bursting!

Belfyre heads to Balkesh, but it dodged.

Hanami: Balkesh slips aside with a dodge!

Balkesh and Hydra came and clashed the 2 Roktavors.

Bashara: Center stage is mine!

Ranzo: Not if I can help it!

Dragoness and Ifritor are heading their way.

Bella: Ranzo, Ryuka, Ifritor and Dragoness are comin' at ya!

Ranzo: Yeah, I've got eyes. Go, get it, Roktavor!

Ryuka: Tank it, Roktavor!

Ifritor just hits Balkesh as Dragoness clashes with Hydra.

Hanami: What?! Dragoness and Ifritor collided with Hydra and Balkesh!

Wakiya: Was it an accident?

Valt: No way! Couldn't be.

Bashara, Ilya, Demi, & Homura: Quadruple Windmill!!

Creating four barriers that rotate against one another to the two Roktavors.

Kiyamas: (Gasps)

Rashad: Nice teamwork!

Hanami: Guess 4's better than one! It's quadruple trouble with this supreme defensive combination technique!

Bella noticed the look on Bashara's face.

Valt: (Or maybe you finally see the real him.)

Bella: Your puny defenses are nothing to the Dark Princess! Bel!

Bel: Yeah!

Daizoras: (Shouting) GO, BELFYRE/BALAM!!

Belfyre and Balam: ANNIHILATION!!! (Summon avatars)

Daizoras: MEET YOUR DOOM! DOUBLE WRECKER!!!

Bashara, Homura, Ilya, and Demi: (Gasps)

Ranzo: We've got Ifritor and Hydra! You two take Dragoness and Balkesh!

Ryuka: It's go time!

Ryuka's Roktavor pushes Hydra as Ranzo's Roktavor has Ifritor, making them both ring out of the stadium.

Hanami: The Roktavors seized the opportunity and flung Hydra and Ifritor right outta there!

Bel: Nice going, guys!

Bella: Now it's our turn!

Kiyamas: (Grunts)

They all fist bump.

Ryuka: It's up to both of you!

Ranzo: Now finish the job!

Daizoras and Kiyamas: GO!!!!

Demi and Bashara: (Gasps)

Hanami: A Burst! A double burst!

Referee: With a burst finish, the winners are Bel and Bella Daizora and Ranzo and Ryuka Kiyama!

Hanami: Bella and Bel Daizora's team snatches victory! We've got a tie game on our hands! The teams are 1-to-1 with nowhere to go except the next round!

Ranzo: (Laughs)

Ryuka: We've got a point!

Bel: Ranzo.

Bella: Ryuka.

Kiyamas: Huh?

Bella: You guys did great.

Bel: Did you forget I told you the stay on defense?

Bella and Kiyamas: Huh?!

Ryuka: We only won because hermano and I attacked them! You should be thanking us like Bella did!

Bel: Belfyre was fine before you two butted in.

Ranzo: Oh, yeah, sure! Did you already forget how Bella got beat by Bashara on her own not too long ago?

Bel: 😊 Hmm.

Bella: Oh, you little shrimp!

Ranzo: This funny to you?!
