Rising Battles! Semifinals!

Tango: 3, 2, 1... Let it Sear! All right, dinner is served. Dante, Demi, it's time to eat!

Tango: This steak's so big, you wouldn't even know it was on sale! Man, I'm good!

Demi: Come on, Dante, dinner's ready.

Dante: I'm not done yet! Let it Rip!!!

Demi: I bet he's gonna change his mind.

Tango: (chuckles) Well, now... if we let it get cold, it won't be as tasty. More for me, then. I'll just make Dante some sandwiches.

Dante: (chuckles)

Demi: I knew you change your mind.

Dante: Oh, boy! Steak! Don't mind if I do!

Demi: Wait a minute! I want some too!

Dante: De-lish! You're really splurged, huh, Pops? I haven't eaten steak in forever!

Tango: Well, you know, it's special.

Dante ate Tango and Demi's steak

Tango: (Gasps) Wait! That one's mine.

Demi: Hey! No fair! (Pouted)

Dante: Oh, man! This is super tasty!

Demi:

Tango: It looks like I'll be making those sandwiches for ourselves, then.

Demi: I know how you feel, Uncle.

(With Fumiya)

Fumiya: This is it. (Opens the door) Excuse me!

Fumiya: (Screams and shuts the door and open back up)

Lodin: (Grunts) What is it you want?

Fumiya: Heh. That was some hello.

Fumiya: I see. So this is your training ground. Lodin Haijima, I've been doing quite a bit of reading about you. It was baffling to me that a Blader like you was basically a nobody. You competed in decathlons until last year, right? The track-and-field competition that holds 10 different races over 2 days including 100-meter sprints, long jump, and shot put. You set the junior record of every single race and came out in top every time. Once you reach the pinnacle of your athletic career, you sought a new battlefield, and thus you enter the world of Beyblade. So am I leaving anything out?

Lodin: ...

Fumiya: Not much of a talker, huh. Then, by all means, I'll get straight to the point. Come and join my club, won't you?! If you joined with us, you wouldn't have to practice inside this run-down warehouse anymore, and on top of that, I can provide you the best training environment around, meaning that your strength could reach even greater heights! Yes, you can be the next world champion!

Lodin: I can shave off 0.3 more.

Fumiya: Huh?! Weren't you even listening?!

Lodin: (Grunts)

Fumiya: (Screams)

He closed the door and the disc made a dent.

Fumiya: (sighs and scoffs) To think I put all that effort into meeting you. How rude could someone be? Guess I'll just have to crush you, too.

(The next day)

Hanami: Okay! the semifinals of the Beyblade Carnival are here, and we're down to our Final Four! Passion is coursing through the air! And take it from me. We're about to see some high-intensity fireworks! Now let's get on with announcing today's matchups!

Hanami: There you have it! The first match will be Dante and Demi Koryu vs Joe Lazure, and the second match will be Fumiya Kindo vs Lodin Haijima!

Dante: Awesome, our turn!

Demi: We got Joe again?

Ichika: He ended up facing all of us Victories after all.

Joe: Hmm.

Fumiya: Another missed chance. Although, crushing Demi and Dante in the finals makes for a much better show. And, to do that, I'll have to take down that disrespectful brute first.

(Meanwhile with the Victories)

Arman: So, which setup are you gonna use?

Ichika: Considering Joker's destructive power, maybe you should go with Tact Dragoness and Rock Dragon to maximize your defenses.

Taka: No way! because it's so destructive, it's better to attack first! Going with Gleam Dragoness and Ace Dragon would be best!

Dante: Hmm. You both made good points. Arman, Ames...

Kusabas: Huh?

Dante: Do you think Dragon and Dragoness'll be able to withstand Joker's attacks?

Amy: Well, there's a pretty good chance that it can handle all the normal attacks.

Arman: However, there's no telling if it can stand up to Joker when he uses that crazy move.

Demi: That settles it. I'll go with Tact Dragoness.

Dante: And I'll go with Rock Dragon.

Ichika: Guys, do your best.

Dante: Yeah.

Taka: Oh, by the way...

Koryus: Huh?

Taka: You really gotta stop blurting out all of your strategies!

Dante: Huh?

Amy: I almost forgot. Dante, before every battle, you always tell your opponent what your gonna do.

Dante: Do I, really?

Girls: You seriously never notice that?

Arman: Good grief. You really are clueless.

Amy: And by clueless, you mean dense?

Demi: That's one way to put it.

Dante: Okay! I'll make sure not say anything today!

Taka: Seriously, don't!

Someone came in the door.

???: Hello.

Demi: Um, can we help you?

???: I couldn't overheard your plan, but I can say your strategy might be correct.

Dante: You came here to tell us that?

Amy: We don't even know your name.

Juniper: My name is Juniper. Juniper Reynolds.

Demi: Nice to meet you. I'm-

Juniper: I know who you are. You're the Victories.

Ichika: Just why exactly are you here.

Juniper: I'm just a spectator on how their battle will play out. Demi, if you and your brother going with your defenses, you two will win the first match. (Walks away)

Dante: What was that about?

Arman: You got me.

Taka: No clue.

(At the stadium)

Hanami: All righty, folks! It's time to welcome the bladers for our first match! First up, we have the new hope for the Victories! It's our golden duo, Dante and Demi Koryu!

Taka: Give it all you got, Dante!

Ichika: Take your place in the finals, Demi!

Amy: Show him what you're made of!

Hanami: Opposing them it's the Wandering Risk Taker, Joe Lazure!

Joe: It comes down to you. The final Bladers from the Victories. After I win this battle, I will have won our little bet.

Dante: Well, you better think again! 'Cause we're totally gonna win!

Joe: Hah! We'll see, but I believe that's for Lady Luck to decide.

Demi: Yeah. You keep telling yourself that.

Referee: Now first battle!

Fumiya: Don't lose now. The only one who's allowed to defeat you two is me.

Dante: So, he's in attack mode, huh? In that case-

Dante: Ehh?! (Grunts)

Joe: Huh?

Dante: (Muffled grunting)

Demi: 💧 (Ever heard of thinking?)

Arman: What is he doing?

Taka: 💧I think that's him try not to blurt out his plan.

Amy: Thought so.

Dante: (grunting)

Boy: What's with that face?

Girl: So weird.

Demi: Dante, breathe out!

Dante: (sighs) There! I didn't say it!

Ichika: 💧It really shouldn't be that hard.

Juniper: (Hmm... Attempting to blurt out you're strategy before the match starts. You are one of a kind, Dante Koryu.)

Joe: Are you trying to distract me, Dante? I'm not one to fall for tricks.

Referee: Ready, set!

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

Joker's Trick Driver begins to play out.

Joe: Begin with Fortune's Trick!

Hanami: Judgement Joker is unleashing its attacks with more of those erratic movements!

Dante: That's not gonna work on us!

Hanami: Whoa! Now that some powerful defense from Rock Dragon!

Dante: All right!

Demi: Nice!

Taka: There you go, Dante!

Amy: Keep it up!

Joe: Wow, that wasn't half bad.

Demi: Ok, it's my turn!

Hanami: What's this? Tact Dragoness is taking a ride on the upper deck!

Demi: Dragoness, take 'em down now!

Joe: Raising the stakes? This is going to be fun! Fate's Judgement!

With those rubber blades on Joker, it hit Dragoness and sent them both in the air.

Hanami: Both beys go flying in the air from that tremendous impact! Will it be a simultaneous ring out finish?

Dante: Sis!

Demi: Dragoness!!!

Dragoness stayed in the stadium and Joker ringed out.

Referee: Tact Dragoness with a ring out finish! Point standings, 1-0!

Koryus: Alright!!!

Ichika: (sighs) How lucky.

Amy: That was cutting it too close.

Taka: Just like they planned.

Arman: Sure was.

Fumiya: (scoffs) That was nothing more than a silly fluke.

Juniper: You're wrong.

Fumiya got jump scared as Juniper was next to him.

Juniper: You may call it a fluke, but it was just as I predicted.

Joe: Losing is a part of the game. After all, that's what makes it so much fun.

Dante: Huh?

Joe: (laughs)

Koryus: Fun/Say what?

Joe: How to take back the momentum and shift it to your opponent, that's just another charm of taking risks. But be careful. The same would happen to you.

Koryus: (groans)

Referee: Second battle! Ready, set!

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

Hanami: Looks like Joe is starting off on the upper deck!

Demi: (He went there instead of the stadium!?)

Joe: Deal!

Hanami: Judgement Joker is setting up an attack!

Joker knocks off Dragon.

Hanami: And it lands!

Dante: Dragon!

Hanami: Joker's taking another lap around the upper deck!

Joe: Don't worry. You haven't seen anything yet.

Hanami: Now Joker's repositioning itself to attack from the other side!

Demi: (He's trying to confuse us!)

Hanami: Judgement Joker is making good use on the upper decks by unleashing consecutive strikes!

Dante: (groans) Where is it coming from?

Joe: And now the momentum has shifted. Once you're sure luck is truly on your side, going for the win is iron clad rule! NOW JUDGEMENT JOKER!!! (Summon avatar)

Arman: Dante!

Amy: Demi!

Koryus: (Yells) GO, DRAGON/DRAGONESS!!!! (Summon avatars)

Joe: CALL!!! JOKER FLUSH!!!

Koryus: NOW, GIVE 'EM YOUR ROCK/TACT CRASH!!!

Koryus: (Gasps)

Victories: (Gasps)

Referee: Judgement Joker with a ring out finish! Point standings, 1-1!

Hanami: With that, Joe Lazure catches up in the second battle! There's no telling which way this showdown will swing!

Demi: It actually broke through Tact Dragoness and Rock Dragon's defenses.

Joe: Time for the final hand. Which one of us will Lady Luck smile upon? Time to find out.

Joe: (chuckles)
