Rashad: I'm sorry, truly. But I won't hesitate to crush anyone in my way!

Maria: What's going on? Rashad's usually respectful to Valt.

Romeo: That was intense

Thiago: He's not his normal self right now.

Bella: (Grunts) He's changing.

Hanami: Rashad's not playin' around! He said he's gonna defeat Valtryek and become the High Prince! Can he do that?

Bel: So what is a High Prince?

Jinemon: It's someone who rules over the length and breadth of the world.

Ryuka: What, he's planning on standing at the tippy-top of the Blading food chain?

Bel: (Scoffs) No matter what, the Dark Prince will always be one step higher.

Rashad switched the High Xtend+' Driver into Defense Mode.

Bashara: Looks like Rashad's changing to Defense Mode.

Ilya: It's the High Prince. He's got more up his sleeve than attack, attack, attack.

Referee: 2nd battle!

Rashad: The era of Valtryek is over. I'll end it myself. (Grunts)

Valt: Hate to tell ya but Valtryek's here to stay. (Grunts)

Referee: Ready, set!

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

Valt: Valtryek, let's go!

Hanami: Valtryek's wasting no time with its firsts attack! Regnar better get real comfortable where it is 'cause Valtryek isn't giving it any breathing room!

Bashara: It's in Defense Mode but it's still getting cornered. Is Valtryek just took strong for it?

Ilya: If that's the case, why is Rashad smiling?

Bashara: Uh?

Rashad: (Grunts)

Valt: (Gasps and exhales)

Kiyamas and Daizoras: Huh?

Homura: You seeing that?

Bashara and Ilya: (Gasps)

Hanami: Hold the phone! Something's happening to Regnar!

Valt: Unreal! When'd it learn to do that?

Bel: (Laughs) Now I'm interested!

Bella: That Bey's got my attention!

Rashad: Show them the power! Glory Crown!

The 2 armor pieces on its Energy Layer move upward and clasp together, then projects a halo to increase its stamina.

Hanami: Quick, get my shades! A brilliant ring of light has just appeared above Regnar!

Bashara: (Gasps)

Bashara: It turned completely circular!

Valt: Send it flying!

Valt: What? Our attack barely nudged it!

Rashad: Are you starting to understand? Glory Regnar won't be stopped!

Bashara: What a strong technique.

Ilya: Glory Regnar isn't an ordinary Balance Type after all.

Valt: VALTRYEK, GO!!! (Summon avatar) ULTRA SALVAGE WHIP!!!

Valtryek unleashed its technique on Regnar... The smoke clears out, and Regnar is still spinning.

Valt: (Grunts)

Hanami: Even Valtryek's most smashingest smashes aren't working!

Bel: Get it together or you're done for!

Hanami: Glory Regnar's light is still shining! Without a way to attack, is this the end for Valtryek?

Valt: Now! Fly, Valtryek!

Valtryek activated the Shot Driver as it leaped in the air.

Hanami: Incoming! Valtryek jumped up high and is crashing down towards Regnar!

Rashad: (Shouting) NOW, REGNAR!!! (Summon avatar)

(Blow lands)

Valt and Rashad: (Grunts)

Both Beys broke off as Regnar spun around the stadium.

Rashad: WE'RE FINISHING THIS! GLORY BREAKER!!!

Regnar channels its energy to the aura and created a huge golden whirlwind.

Rashad and Valt: (Gasping)

(Wind howling)

Rashad: All right!!

Referee: Glory Regnar with a burst finish. With a score of 2-0, Rashad Goodman is the winner!

Hanami: Spectacular! With a dazzling display of power, Rashad Goodman has triumphed over Valt Aoi, the Legend of Legends!

Ilya: Way to go, Rashad. That wasn't bad.

Bashara: He did it. He won against Valt.

Rashad: (Scoffs) This is the High Prince's Bey!

Bella: He actually did it...

Bel: (Giggles) I'm done waiting! Time to battle!

Ranzo: Hey, wait!

Ryuka: Dude, get back here!

Rashad: (Laughing)

Crowd: Rashad! Rashad!

Valt goes to him.

Rashad: Huh?

Valt held out his hand for a handshake.

Rashad: (Gasps)

Valt: You won that fair and square. But the next one is mine.

Rashad: Valt, I... (Grunts)

Rashad accepted the handshake.

Valt: Regnar was even more awesome than expected. You did a great job making him.

Rashad: Thanks, hearing that from you means the world to me.

Bel: Hey, Rashad!

Rashad and Valt: Huh?

Bel: Now I command you to battle my Devastate Belfyre!

Valt: Uh?

Rashad: You're challenging me? As it stands you have no right to battle Regnar.

Bella: Says the giant who destroyed his Bey! Of course he has the rights, and so do I!

Bel: Yeah, I do! As the Dark Prince, I have the right to do whatever I want whenever I want.

Bashara: Hold it, Bel!

Bel: Uh...

Ilya and Bashara were standing right behind Rashad.

Bashara: Let me remind you that you lost not once but twice in the Great Aerial Tour.

Bel: Yeah? And what of it?

Bashara: Your whole time on tour, you never won against Rashad.

Bel 😨 Uh... (Oh, right.)

Bella: 😨 (Shoot.)

Bashara: So if you wanna battle against Rashad, you gotta earn that right by facing me.

Ilya: And technically I've beaten you once or twice, too.

Bel: (Groans) (Who's keeping track, really?)

Bella: (I really forgot...)

Ilya: I think you and your sister need to prove you both can beat us before you set your sights on Rashad.

Ryuka: Well, it's a good thing he's not talking to you, then!

Ranzo: What's wrong, Rashad? You gonna run from them? I thought you were the High Prince, not a big scaredy cat.

Rashad: (Grunts) 'Scuse me?

Bashara: Stay out of this. It's not about you.

Ranzo: Well, what about you? Why are you so bent on getting in Bel's way

Ranzo: if you're supposed to be his amigo?

Ryuka: Yeah, you were supposed to be our friend!

Hanna: Guys, please! Don't fight with Bashara! He's your friend!

Wakiya: QUIET!

Hanna, Jinemon, and Homura: Huh?

Bella: Wakiya?

Wakiya: I know exactly what this calls for. You just leave all the preparations to me.

Ranzo: Leave the preparation-- well, what do you mean?

Wakiya: Hey, Bel, Bella. You were saying that you both want to battle against Rashad, right?

Bel: Yeah, I do!

Bella: You bet!

Wakiya: Next, Bashara and Ilya, you want Bel and Bella to get through the two of you before they can battle against Rashad. Is that correct?

Ilya: Yeah, sure. I guess you could say that.

Bashara: Rashad, that okay?

Rashad: That's fine. Let me make something very clear. I'm not scared or running. Got it? But I won't be roped into anyone's chaotic whims. There will be order.

Wakiya: Then that settles it. I know just what we can do for a special occasion like this. It's about time we have ourselves a team battle!

Daizoras and Kiyamas: Huh? A team battle?

Wakiya: We'll have Team Rashad and Team Bel and Bella battling head-to-head.

Ranzo: (Groans) Bel on a team? You don't know the first thing about Bel if you think--

Bel: Bring on the team battle!

Ryuka: Wait, what, you wanna do it?

Bel: I don't care what it is. As long as I get to battle Rashad, I'm in.

Ryuka: What about you, Bella?

Bella: (Sighs) I'll accept. But I'm only doing this for him, not me.

Wakiya: What about you, Rashad? Do you accept these terms?

Rashad: (Grunts) Do you think I should do it, Valt?

Valt: 👍 Totally. A team battle sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

Rashad: True. Then I accept.

Wakiya: Great. We got ourselves a match. Team Rashad will be comprised of Rashad, Bashara, and Ilya, while Team Bel and Bella will be Bel, Bella, Ranzo, Ryuka, and--oh. I guess there's just the four of you. Man, that's a disappointment. I was so into the idea of planning this thing, but it won't work with an uneven teams. Oh, well. In that case, I--

Valt: Wait, I'll join Bel's team!

Wakiya: (Groans) Valt?

Bella: You'll join us?

Ryuka: Do you know what you're getting into?

Rashad: (Grunts) Really, Valt?

Valt: Yeah, that'll be a 3-on-3, right? And then you can still hold a team battle!

Bella: Hold on, 3-on-3? I counted us 5. Rashad needs 2 more.

Haruki: I'll do it.

Bel: You, Haruki?

Ranzo: Are you sure?

Haruki: It's time that you guys let me into the club.

She transforms into Homura.

Homura: It's only for the team battle because all we need is 5-on-5.

Wakiya: Now that makes 4 on Rashad's team, but we're still missing one.

???: That's where I come in!

Valt and the others turn and see a familiar face with a tail.

Everyone: Demi Koryu?!

Demi: I heard about the team battle, and I rushed over as fast as I could! But have no fear, Demi Koryu is here!

Bashara: You mean you're here to join our team?

Demi: Of course I'll join!

Wakiya: Very well. If everything goes smoothly, we'll hold a team battle in 1 week. The High Prince's heroes vs the Dark Prince and Princess' rogues. It goes down next week at the Surging Arena! I'm looking forward to seeing all of you there cheering them on.

Valt, Daizoras, and Kiyamas: (Shouting and cheering)

Rashad: (Snarls)

(On the jet)

Valt covered his ears as Bel and Ranzo were sleeping.

Hanna: I can't believe Bashara picked Rashad over us. What's wrong? Isn't he friends with you, Bel, Ryuka, and Ranzo anymore?

Bella: Hanna, of course he still is. As of now, the Dark Princess knows that he picked Rashad so that he wants to help him to become stronger. Right, Grandpa?

Jinemon: That's right. If he really wasn't your friend anymore, they wouldn't be spending time battling together. (Laughs)

Hanna: (Groans) Hmm.

Ryuka: Don't worry about it, Hanna. I'm sure your hermano is doing just fine.

(At BC Sol)

Bladers: Let it Rip!!!

Regnar knocked Ifritor and Balkesh out as Bashara and Ilya caught their Beys.

Rashad: All right. With that, our team formation ceremony's complete. (Grunts)

Ilya: Rashad, wait. Are you disappointed that you're not on the same team as Valt for the battle?

Demi: Come to think of it, you two are BC Sol Bladers.

Bashara: What's the point in asking a question like that?

Ilya: Huh?

Bashara: Rashad has to win. He can't get distracted by what-ifs. He's the High Prince, after all.

Bashara: He's counting on us, and that's why it's so important to strengthen our bonds as a team.

Homura: That's some big talk there, dude.

Ilya: (Grunts) You're making sense for a change.

Bashara: (Gasps)

Rashad: (Scoffs)

(At Phantom's Gate)

Bel: (Shouting) I'm dizzy! Why is the world spinning?

Ranzo: Amigo, what's up with the dance routine?

Bel: I'm not dancing! I'm analyzing Regnar's flapping action!

Ranzo: Hmm.

Ryuka: Ohh. Regnar transforms in mid-battle.

Ranzo: Studying Regnar's abilities is great and all, but you don't know which Bey you'll be up against till you get there.

Bel: I'm well aware.

Ranzo: Then why are you putting all your focus on Regnar? It's a team battle so you're up against Balkesh, Ifritor, Hydra, and Dragoness, too.

Bel: I don't need your help!

Ranzo: It's pretty clear you do!

Valt: Um, hey, guys, is it cool if we start our practice?

Ranzo: Oh, right. Sorry about that.

Bel: (Scoffs and leaves)

Ranzo: Come back! What the...

Bella: Hey, Valt, I feel kinda bad for you got stuck with us for this battle.

Valt: Hmm? Why's that?

Ryuka: The Valt Aoi-- BC Sol Ace and total Blading Legend-- on our team?

Valt: That's just the way it worked. They already had a full team and you still needed one more.

Ryuka: Or could it be that you secretly want to have a revenge match against Rashad?

Valt: (Gasps) A revenge match?

Ryuka: Wait, I was right?

Valt: Honestly, I never even considered something like that.

Bella and Kiyamas: (Groans)

Ryuka: I was wrong.

Valt: (Laughs) For now let's work on combining our power so we can win. That's all we need.

Bel was putting something on Ranzo's waist.

Ranzo: Uh, wait. What are you doing?

Bel: It's just a little experiment of mine.

Bella: (Gasps) You wouldn't dare!

(Beeps)

Ranzo: Huh? W--Wait! (Shouting)

Valt and Ryuka: (Gasps)

Ranzo: What is this?!

Bel: (Laughing)

Ranzo: Get me down from here! We've got training to do!

Bel: Hmm, I see. Of course!

Ranzo: What are you laughing at?! I'M NOT MESSING AROUND! STOP IT, BEEEEEELLLLL!!!!
