Hanami: All righty, Bey fans! It's finally time for us to kick off the second semifinal match of the Bey Carnival! Fumiya Kindo's a man with a mission to be the back-to-back champion! Opposing him is the Blader with superhuman strength, Lodin Haijima!

Juniper: I know that Bey. That's Lúinor.

Dante: So that's Zone Lúinor. Hmm.

Taka: Yeah, it sure is, And look at this. Its power is off the charts. It's a super-heavyweight Attack Type with a counterclockwise spin. Oh. An attack from this thing will do a some serious damage.

Demi: It sure has some real heavy metal. A Metsu weight. A Drake Disk. And a Spiral' Driver. Meaning, it's definitely gonna be harder to burst it.

Tango: So, it unleashes heavy, powerful attacks, huh? Sounds rad.

Arman: All of his battles have ended in burst finishes. This guy's the real deal.

Amy: No kidding.

Juniper was watching at the stands.

Juniper: Lúinor's heavy metal wings are its most strong points. And Fafnir's rubber and speed are in common. But the question is, which of them are the strongest?

Fumiya: Not too shabby. Well, come on, then. Show me what you've got.

Lodin: No matter who my opponent is...

Lodin: they're nothing more than an obstacle on my path to the top!

Fumiya: Sorry to burst your bubble, but the top is my domain,

Fumiya: and, for you, This just happen to be the end of the line!

Arman: Whoa, he's gettin' serious.

Amy: Didn't think Fumiya was this worked up.

Dante: They're both on a whole other level.

Juniper: For my calculations, the battle will end in 23 seconds. Correction, Lodin will win the first match.

Referee: First battle! Ready. Set!

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

Hanami: Lodin Haijima with a tremendous launch and Wizard Fafnir takes center stage!

Hanami: Bang! Cue the fireworks! Wow! Fafnir manages to hang on!

Fumiya: (That attack was insane.)

Lodin: Follow up with Zone Slam!

Referee: (gasps) Uh, with a ring out finish, Zone Lúinor! Point standings, 1-0!

Hanami: Lodin Haijima has pulled ahead! Looks like Fumiya Kindo's found himself in a tight spot!

Ichika: Seriously... get a grip already. Come on, Fumiya.

Dante: Huh? Oh, so you do want your brother to win?

Ichika: No, I think you've got the wrong idea.

Dante: Of course! I mean, why wouldn't you cheer for-

Ichika: Listen to me! I'm telling you you're way off base!

Demi: (whispering in Amy's ear) She is cheering for him to win.

Amy: (whispering) Yeah, there's no denial.

Referee: Second battle!

Fumiya: This win is mine.

Referee: Ready and set!

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

Fumiya: Fafnir, take the center now!

Lodin: Blast it away!

Hanami: Lúinor is rocking some fierce speed!

Fumiya: Fafnir! Wrench Parry!

Lúinor hits the Ratchet Disk and makes it free spinning.

Lodin: (growls)

Fumiya: (chuckles)

Dante: He redirected it?

Demi: They both spin left.

Arman: Because of that, Fafnir can parry anything.

Lúinor come straight to Fafnir but the Ratchet Disk deflect it off.

Fumiya: You can't brute-force on your way to victory. Blading isn't that simple.

Referee: It's Wizard Fafnir with a survivor finish! One point goes to Fumiya Kindo!

Hanami: The reigning champion proves why he has the title in the first place, and now, the score is tied!

Fumiya: Do you see now? That's winning one technique! This is true strength! Yes, I'm your back-to-back champion!

Ichika: All right. He got a point!

Dante: Look at that, you are cheering your brother!

Ichika: Eh, No, that wasn't what I was doing at all! You were cheering for him! (Groans)

Referee: Third battle!

Lodin: (Roars)

Juniper: Such tenacity.

Lodin: How amusing. I have finally come across a worthy opponent. (Chuckles)

Fumiya: I'd prefer if you didn't patronize me, what with all the countless achievements I have backing me up.

Referee: Ready. Set!

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

Hanami: And both beys roar into the ring!

Fumiya: (His speed has increased even more!)

Lodin: Now then, go, Lúinor!

Fumiya: (Chuckles) What exactly are you doing?

Lodin: I'm just warming up!

Lúinor takes the upper deck and head straight to Fafnir.

Fumiya: Wrench Parry now! (Snaps his finger)

Fafnir activated it's Ratchet Disk and easily brushed off Lúinor's attacks.

Hanami: Egad! Fafnir deflects yet another attack!

Ichika: If Fumiya keeps this up, he can win.

Hanami: Lúinor is giving it everything its got, but Fafnir's spin just isn't slow it down!

Fumiya: You should never underestimate Fafnir's stamina. Now it's time to begin!

Hanami: Oh, snap! Fafnir's taking a ride on the wall and picking up some crazy speed!

Dante: He's gonna attack head-on?!

Fumiya: This is where your journey ends.

Fumiya: LET'S GO! FAFNIR!!! (Summon avatar)

Fumiya: WIZARD BLOW!!! VICTORY IS MINE! ABRACADABRA, ALAKA-BURST!

Lodin: Speak for yourself.

Dante and Taka: (Gasps)

Demi: Do you see that!?

Amy: Lúinor didn't burst!

Juniper: (Impossible.)

Taka: Apparently, when Lúinor takes damage, its heavy components align, and, once they're in sync, it can attack with a tremendous a lot of power!

Arman: So he chose to eat that attack.

Dante: 'Cause he knew it would focus his power!

Lodin: LÚINOR!!! (Summon avatar) SHATTER THEM TO PIECES!!!

Lodin: ZONE HAMMER!!! (Grunts)

Referee: Zone Lúinor with a burst finish! The winner is Lodin Haijima!

(Cheering)

Hanami: What the what!? The returning champion of the Bey Carnival, Fumiya Kindo has been dethroned!

Ichika: Fumiya...

Hanami: The Blader moving on to the final is Lodin Haijima! Congratulations!

Lodin: And I will be the winner!

Demi: Ha! I can't wait to see you try, Lodin!

Dante: Let's have a mega-awesome battle!

Hanami: Whoa, their fighting spirits are burning like raging suns! We better find shade while we wait for what sure to be a firing final! Bring your sunscreen!

(At sunset)

Fumiya and Ichika were sitting on opposite sides of the tree.

Ichika: To think that you'd actually lose in the semifinals. Well, I think it's just what the doctor ordered.

Fumiya: Maybe you're right.

The Koryus and the Kusabas were watching them from the fence.

Fumiya: I'm not strong enough, not yet.

Ichika: (Gasps)

Fumiya: Are you still going to stay with the Victories?

Ichika: Stay or go, either way, it's my choice.

Fumiya: Back when you were with the Spark Wings, I was always so hard on you, because I wanted you to be the strongest Blader you could be. I wanted you to know how amazing that feels to win.

Ichika: (Sighs)

She looked back and Fumiya was close to her.

Ichika: Yaah!

Fumiya: Why can't you understand?!

Ichika: I told you! There's way more to blading than just being the strongest one!

Fumiya: You seriously still believe that?!

Ichika: I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!

Fumiya: Huh?

Ichika: If you think that everything goes exactly like you planned, I've got news for you!

Fumiya: (Stammering) Ich-

Ichika: Nope! The Fumiya show is canceled!

Those words she said to Fumiya, really made him fall into a deep void.

Ichika: But...

Fumiya: Eh? Huh?

Ichika: I do feel a lot better getting it off my chest. Now this conversation's over.

Fumiya: I'm not giving up!

Ichika: Huh?!

Fumiya: I will make sure to... bring you back to the Spark Wings,

Fumiya: no matter how much you fight me!

Ichika: What is wrong with you!?

Fumiya: Please! Join us!

Taka: Um, guys... what are they doing?

Amy: I have no idea.

Demi: You know, all things said, maybe Fumiya really cares about his little sister.

Arman: Oh. Think so?

Dante: Yeah, sure. Maybe he'll turn out to be a good guy.

Ichika: (Groans) Not a chance!

Fumiya: Sis, wait!

Fumiya: LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR BIG BROTHER TELLS YOU!!!

Ichika: (groans) Enough, Fumiya! Stop it!

Fumiya: Hold it right there! I'm not done talking to you yet!

Dante: Hey! Come on, you two! Stop fighting! (Chases after the Kindos)

Arman: What in the world are they doing?

Demi: (Wags her tail) Now, that's what I call sibling rivalry.

Amy: Demi, there's nothing to be happy about.

Ichika: What's your deal!?

Fumiya: Ichika, come back!

Ichika: Give me a break!!!
