Taka: Second battle!

Dante: Okay, let's do it, Arman!

Arman: Here I go.

Dante: (Sighs) (Delta and Destiny really are awesome Bladers. To think they'd come back with all that power. Looks like me and Sis gonna have to practice a whole lot more and keep evolving Dragon and Dragoness, too.)

Arman: (Delta, Destiny, Demi, and Dante just keep getting stronger. I can't afford to be left behind. I swear we're gonna catch up, and then I'll surpass them!)

Taka: Get ready, and set!

3, 2, 1-

Valt: Yo!

Akane: Hey!

Demi: Akane! Valt!

Dante: (Yelps) What are you doing here, guys?!

(Meanwhile)

Demi: The Hyper Warp Stadium, huh?

Valt: Yeah. I think we're all gonna seeing it a lot more in official battles.

Akane: They'll be making an announcement soon, and we were wondering if you four wanted to give a little test run.

Koryus and Kusabas: (Gasps) Seriously?!

Taka: Wow! Man, I'm so jealous right now.

Ichika: The first battle on a new stadium? That's great!

Valt: What you think?

Akane: You guys in?

Demi: Sign me up!

Arman: We are so in!

Amy: Yeah!

Dante: (Screams) What kind of stadium will it be?! I can't wait to see!

(Later)

Hanami: Okay, boys and girls! Allow me to welcome you to the grand opening ceremony of the Rainbow Tree Arena! We're in for one epic match, so buckle up for the ride of your lives, everyone!

(Crowd cheering)

Hanami: Today's thrilling showdown... will be set on the latest cutting-edge Bey tech that leak has to offer!

Hanami: Introducing the Hyper Warp Stadium!

(Cheering)

Taka: I've never seen anything like it before. It's gonna be epic!

Hanami: And what makes this stadium so special is the amazing acceleration area that has been added to the upper deck! Combine that with the steeper slope, and Beys will be ripping into battle like never before! Whoo-hoo! If you like it awesome battles, then it's your lucky day!

(Cheering)

Ichika: It does look pretty awesome.

Hanami: Time to get our exhibition match underway! Today's battle is between four members of the Victories. They're teammates, but that doesn't mean they'll go easy on each other! Give it up for Arman and Amy Kusaba and Dante and Demi Koryu!

(Cheering)

Taka: Yeah! Go for it, you four!

Amy: (So this is Valt's fancy new stadium, huh?)

Arman: (That slope is wicked. I bet the acceleration's gonna be somethin' else.)

Dante: Whoa! Sis, this looks fun!

Hanami: Okay. Let the match begin!

Referee: This battle will be a first to two points. First battle!

Arman: I'll break this new stadium in with a win!

Amy: Now bring it on!

Dante: Not if we beat you to it!

Demi: It's time to Shine!

Referee: Ready. Set!

3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!

Koryus: Let's go, Dragon/Dragoness!

Kusabas: Dodge it, Ashindra/Astro! Don't let them through!

Demi's ears sensed up the air.

Demi: Amy, grab your bey!

Amy: Huh?

Peregrines: (Yells)

Dante and Arman: (Gasps)

Hanami: What in tarnation just happened?! A simultaneous burst?! No, wait! That's not it!

Hanami: We've got two party crashers!

Dante: Arthur!

Demi: Arley!

Amy: What the heck are those?

Dante: Is that Apocalypse?

Demi: Armageddon, too?

Arman: Did they evolve?

(Crowd murmuring)

Ichika: What's with those guys? Hey, nobody invited you!

Arley: Interesting. So this must be the new stadium I've heard all about.

Arthur: Demi and Dante Koryu, Amy and Arman Kusaba, as the High King and Queen of Inferno, we hereby challenge the Victories to a battle.

Arley: 3 days from now, we'll face off right here.

(Crowd shouting)

Arthur: You will accept our challenge, won't you?

Dante: You bet we will.

Demi: Deal.

Arman: (Grunts)

Amy: If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you're gonna get!

Hanami: There you have it. Inferno has just thrown down that gauntlet! They will clash with the Victories here in the Hyper Warp Stadium!

(Crowd cheering)

Guy 1: Send all those Inferno guys packing!

Guy 2: You got this, Victories! Don't lose!

Valt: (Grunts)

Arthur: This challenge will be a six-on-six Team Battle!

Demi: (Gasps) A Team Battle?

Arley: That's right. Team Inferno will consist of myself, Arthur, Blindt DeVoy, Linda, Gwyn, and Juniper Reynolds!

Dante: (Gasps)

Demi: What?!

Juniper: (I'm sorry, Dante.)

Dante: (Sputters) Guys, why?

(Later)

Dante: I don't get it. What's Gwyn, Linda, and Juniper doing with Inferno?

Demi: I thought Juniper was supposed to be on our side.

Taka: Maybe Arthur and Arley invited them to join?

Ichika: (Sighs)

Arman: There's no point in worrying about it, Arthur and Arley especially. They're seriously planning on crushing us all.

Koryus: (Gasps)

Arman: If we let those Inferno goons win, we'll have lost everything we fought so hard to get back, and Beyblade will be changed forever.

Dante: (Gasps) I won't ever let that happen! I'll make sure to win!

Amy: (Grunts) So, who's on our team?

Demi: That's easy. You, me, Arman, Dante, and... Hmm?

Ichika and Taka: Huh?!

Taka: Uh, don't look at me! I can't battle Inferno! How 'bout Ichika? She'd be perfect!

Ichika: Huh? What are you saying? You joined the Victories before I did, so you should go!

Taka: Really, I insist! You should be the one to do it!

Ichika: If anyone should, it's you, Taka!

Taka: Aw, come on, Ichika. Trust me. It's your time to shine.

Valt: Hey, come on down!

Akane: We know you're over there!

Koryus: Delta/Destiny!

Taka: Oh, yeah! They would be the perfect 5th and 6th members!

Dante: (Laughs) Guys! What do you say? You want to battle with us!? Huh, Delta?!

Demi: We really could use all the help we can get, Destiny!

Delta gets up and leaves.

Demi: Hey, hold on!

Delta: If you really think you're both worthy of blading by my side, then prove it.

Dante: (Laughs)

Valt: (Chuckles)

(At the stadium)

Dante: It's been a while, huh, guys? The last time we battled like this was our showdown at the Victories.

Delta: That's enough talk. You guys only get one shot.

Dante: Eh? Yeah, right.

Tango: Whoa. Command Dragon and Imperial Dragoness goin' up against Master Devolos and Phantom Demonyx. A battle like this only comes around once in a blue moon!

Ichika: Ready, and set!

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

Taka: The Beys have landed, and the battle begins!

Koryus: Let's go, Dragoness/Dragon!!!

Taka: Dragon and Dragoness are going in for an attack!

Destiny: Think again!

Taka: Wow! Phantom Demonyx is first to accelerate on the edge of the new stadium! And with a little help from the steep slope, it gets a massive burst of speed!

Demi: So fast!

Destiny: This is it!

Dragon comes to save Dragoness and takes the hit from Demonyx.

Dante: Dragon!!!

Delta: What?

Arman: It stayed in.

Destiny: (That was a direct hit. Demonyx should have won there. How did Dragon hang on?)

Dante: Beating us won't be that easy! (Laughing) Right, Sis?

Demi: Yeah!

Zakuros: (Gasps)

(Flashback)

Valt: Destiny, Delta, I wondered if you, Devolos, and Demonyx have formed a bond yet.

(End of flashback)

Delta: (This is the bond between Dante, Demi, Dragon, and Dragoness.)

Dante: All right, Sis! It's our turn now!

Taka: Dragoness and Dragon taking a ride on the upper deck!

Delta: It's no use!

Koryus: Right there!

Destiny: (They've changed course?)

Taka: Imperial Dragoness and Command Dragon is- Whoa! Thanks to some laps in the pit, they've picked up massive speed!

Koryus: DRAGONESS/DRAGON!!! (Summon avatar)

The Dragon beys have entered Hyper-Flux.

Zakuros: DEMONYX/DEVOLOS!!! (Summon avatar)

The Demon Beys have also entered Hyper-Flux.

Koryus: BOUND WING/WING RECOIL!!!

Zakuros: MASTER/PHANTOM UPPER!!!

Koryus and Zakuros: (Yells)

Koryus: (Gasps)

Ichika: Master Devolos and Phantom Demonyx with a burst finish! Destiny and Delta Zakuro wins!

Zakuros: (Panting)

Tango: Oh?

Demi: Dragoness.

Dante: Dragon.

Taka: Dante and Demi lost. And that means that...

Delta: (Sighs) We'll join.

Destiny: We'll join your team.

Demi: (Gasps and laughs) You really mean it?! (Wagging her tail)

Dante: All right! Now we get to battle on the same team! Delta! Destiny! Does that mean that you're gonna be one of us?

Dante: (Laughs)

Delta: Get away from me! I said I'd join you, but that doesn't make us best friends or anything.

Dante: (Laughs) This is great!

Delta: Get off of me!

Tango: Yeah, right on!

Dante: You and Destiny are the best, Delta!

Demi: Destiny, thank you so much!

Destiny: Where did that come from? I haven't heard you thank me before.

Demi: 😋

Akane: This is gonna be great, right, babe?

Valt: Yeah. Looks like this team's gonna be unstoppable.

Demi: Trust us! You won't!

Arman: (Sighs)
