Wakiya: That was an impressive performance out there, you two. I can see the headlines now! "Newcomers narrowly nicks point from Legend! Wakiya Murasaki is thrown a parade!"

Ilya: A loss is still a loss. I'd really rather not be complimented on it.

Wakiya: Wow, you're a tough one to satisfy, aren't you? All right! That concludes the battles at Ogre Island! Now on to the next stop! Uh...

Everyone is here except for one person.

Wakiya: Don't say it. Bel's gone?

Bella: You got to be kidding me.

Bia has a black aura around her and her hair covers her eyes as everyone is terrified of the Dark Queen.

Bia: (Growls) 💢 BEL DAIZORA!!!!

Bel: (Chuckles)

He landed at the top of Ogre Island and took a parachute off him and his helmet.

Lui: Took you long enough!

Bel: Hmm?

Lui: I knew you'd find your way here eventually. I grow tired of waiting.

Bel: Lui!

Lui: (Chuckles) Finally we get the chance to battle.

Lui: I've been looking forward to this, Bel Daizora!

Without noticing, Jiji's drone was in the air.

Jinemon: I suspect we'll find him right over here.

Jinemon zoomed the drone's camera at the top.

All: Huh?!

Bella: There he is!

Hanna: Look! It's Bel, right there!

Ranzo: Oh, no, he didn't!

Bashara: Lui's there too!

Jinemon: (Laughs) Looks like my intuition was spot on.

Hanna: I guess he needed to battle Lui, no matter what.

Bia: When he's done battling Lui, I'm gonna give him an earful for sneaking off!

Something zoomed right past the screen.

Ranzo: Huh?! Hey, what's goin' on?!

Ilya: (Laughs)

Ryuka: You've gotta be kidding me!

Haruki: Ilya too?!

(Inside the blimp)

Wakiya: What?! Wasn't that Ilya just now?!

She landed on the island.

Bel: What are you coming down here for, huh?

Ilya: I wanted to get a front-row seat for when you lose against Lui. (Chuckles)

Bel: Hmm? (Growls) No way! The Dark Prince doesn't lose!

Ilya: You should check that attitude before it costs you a battle you could actually win.

Bel: I don't wanna hear it! Get back to the airship and out of my way!

Lui: No, stay. You can watch from over there. I want you to have an up-close view when I make Belfyre burst!

Bel: The only Bey she's gonna see bursting around here is Lúinor! Hmph! With the L-Gear on Belfyre, I'll make you wish I never stepped foot on this island!

Lui: L-Gear, you say?

Lui: (Chuckles) Think you can just mimic Lúinor? (Laughs) I'll show you what the real thing can do, not some cheap imitation! Lúinor will destroy you!

Ilya: Let's get started!

Machine: 1st battle.

Wakiya: What the-- Why is Ilya down there running the show?!

Rashad: I think she wants to see with her own eyes just how powerful this upgraded Belfyre is.

Bel: Hmph.

Bella: You can do this, Bel.

Bia: Don't you lose, brother.

Machine: Ready. Set!

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

Both Beys headed straight to the center.

The L-Gear made Lúinor knocked back.

Lui: (Gasps)

Bel: Nice, Belfyre! Show him the power of the Dark Prince!

Ranzo: Oh, yeah! How's that for a "cheap imitation," huh?!

Hanna: Wow, it really packs a punch!

Bashara: That's Belfyre's upgrade?

Bella: So that's why it's called the L-Gear.

Bia: With those 3 metal dragon heads, Belfyre's weight and attack power increases.

Ilya: Not bad.

Belfyre and Lúinor collided again at the center and both got knocked back and headed to the drift zone.

Bel and Lui: (Growls)

Ryuka: They're going for another head-to-head strike?!

Haruki: Think again!

Lui: (Chuckles)

Bel: I won't let you get away that easy!

Lui: I can read you like a book. I know exactly what you're thinking!

Bel: Destruction Wrecker!!!

Lui: I warned you. Take this!

(Thunder crashes)

Lui: Guilty Upper!!!

Lúinor sent Belfyre in the air with an upper attack as it hit the stadium and went up to the air as well.

Bel: (Gasps)

Machine: Guilty Lúinor with a burst finish. With a score of 2-0, Lui Shirosagi wins.

Lui: (Scoffs)

All: (Gasps)

Hanna: He got burst so soon.

Valt: Lui is a beast, always.

Wakiya: If you ask me, a big slice of humble pie might be good for Bel at the end of the day.

Rashad: If he was weaker, this might break him, but this'll light a fire under Bel.

Bel: (Groans)

Ilya: What's the matter, Bel? You upgraded your Bey, didn't you? So disappointing.

Bel: I don't wanna hear it! (Growls)

Lui: Is that all you've got?

Bel: (Gasps)

Lui: That pathetic thing was worse than a second-rate knockoff! I'm insulted you claim that's inspired by Lúinor! You have no idea how to use it at all!

Bel: I'm not done yet! Let's go again!

Lui: (Chuckles)

Bel: (Growls)

Bashara: Bel's going another round.

Ranzo: We're rooting for you! Now nail it this time!

Ryuka: Make sure you don't make that same mistake twice!

The 2nd battle goes on.

Bel: Go! Now!

With that, Lúinor bursted Belfyre again.

Bel: (Gasps)

Machine: Guilty Lúinor with a burst finish.

The 3rd battle was next and Belfyre got knocked out of the stadium.

Bel: It's not over! I'm not done with you!

He keeps continuing to battle Lui.

Lui: More! Give me more!

Bel: (Roars)

Wakiya: Just how much longer are they gonna go?! It's been all day! Give me a break!

Bel: One more time! Just one more battle!

Valt: Oh, Bel.

Lui: I'm tired of this.

With that, Lúinor bursted Belfyre again.

Hanna: Another loss for Bel.

Ranzo: He's getting totally hammered out there.

Bashara: No matter how much he tries, it looks like he can't win.

Bella: Of course he can still win! He just hasn't found it yet.

Ryuka: Found what?

Bia: I think I see the problem, too.

Lui: I've had enough. What a disappointment. You've wasted enough of my time. You're not a Blader worthy of battling against my Lúinor! (Scoffs)

Bel: (crying) Belfyre.

(Resonating with Belfyre)

Belfyre: The way things are going now, it's just like what happened with Ifritor.

Bel: With Ifritor? How's it like that?

Belfyre: Think back. You lost because you just kept attacking, repeating the same mistakes over and over.

Bel: (Gasps)

Belfyre: Listen, Bel, you know I can do more than just attack and attack. Get creative! You gave me other upgrades. Let's use them to win this thing!

Belfyre: After all, I'm the perfect Bey!

Bel: That's right! You are! We're the best team ever!

Belfyre: Yeah!

(End of resonating)

Bel: (Chuckles) Battle me once again!

Lui: Hmm?

Bel: You're not leaving, Lui Shirosagi, not until you battle me one more time!

Ryuka: Dude, you still wanna go?

Ranzo: Haven't you learned enough's enough, buddy? Here we go again.

Jinemon: Bel has many admirable qualities, like, eh, not know when enough is enough. (Laughs)

Bel: Lui!

Lui: (Chuckles) This is your last chance. I'm warning you, don't bore me again. Got that, Dark Prince?

(Thunder crashing)

Wakiya: Whoa, there's a huge storm coming this way!

Wakiya: Call off the battle now! We gotta stop them!

Valt: Just let 'em go through with it!

Wakiya: But the storm!

Rashad: Now that they've started, no person or thing can stop this battle.

Bel put the S-Gear in Defense Mode.

Ilya: (He's up to something. Bel switched into Defense Mode.)

(Thunder rumbling)

Machine: Ready. Set!

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

Lui: Now, Lúinor, let's teach him a lesson! This is how a real Blader attacks!

Belfyre's S-Gear smoothly parried Lúinor's attack.

Valt: What a smooth party from Belfyre.

Lúinor attacks Belfyre all over the place.

Bel: Come at me more! We're not scared of you!

Lui: (Scoffs) You should be.

Belfyre used the F-Gear and absorbed some of Lúinor's spin.

Rashad: Now it's absorbing Lui's attacks to get more power!

Lui: Enough playing around! Crush it, Lúinor!

Now Belfyre used the V-Gear and sped itself up.

Valt: It sped off like a rocket mid-battle!

Bella: Yes! That's how you do it, Bel!

Bashara: Bel's taking advantage of everything his upgrades can do!

Rashad: (Gasps)

Bia: He completely mastered all the Evolution Gears.

Bel: (Roars) NOW, BELFYRE!!! (Summon avatar)

Lui: GO, LÚINOR! BURST THAT FRAUD!!! (Summon avatar)

They're both going to attack head-on before the Bladers call out their Beys' moves.

Lui: GUILTY UPPER!!!

Bel: DESTRUCTION WRECKER!!!

Lui: (Gasps and Chuckles)

Machine: Destruction Belfyre with a burst finish. Bel Daizora is the winner!

Bel: I beat Lui. (Laughs) Yeah! I won!

(Thunder crashes)

Bel and Ilya: (Shrieks)

Ilya: That was close! What are we doing battling out here?! Let's go!

(Thunder crashes)

Bel: Quick! Flee to the airship!

The both made it to the lift and it carried up to the airship.

Wakiya: Thank goodness they're back safe. I was worried sick about them! I couldn't sleep at night if something happened to them on my watch!

Lui: (Chuckles) Now that is truly what battling is all about. (Laughing)
