(Meanwhile at the Victories)

Dante: (Groans) One more time!

Taka: Look at him. He's havin' fun.

Ichika: Practicing with Delta must really make him happy.

Dante: Let's go!

Demi: And Delta's going along with it, too.

Ichika: Who'd have thought they'd make such a good pair?

Dante and Delta: Let it Rip!!!

Taka: Yeah, right?

Dante: Good going, Dragon! Keep the attacks coming!

Delta: Devolos!

Dante: Go! Right there!

Arman: (Scoffs)

Dante: Hang in there, Dragon!

Amy: Huh? Arman?

As Arman walks out the door, Fumiya barges in.

Fumiya: (Growls) Hey, Ichika!

Cat: (Screeches)

Ichika: Huh? Fumiya?

Fumiya: I saw everything! You guys are having a team match against Inferno.

Ichika: Wait. You just found out?

Taka: Wow, dude.

Fumiya: Arley and Arthur Peregrine, if those wannabe king and queen wants to try and take over Beyblade again, then they're gonna have to go through me first! That's right! The matches are six-on-six!

Fumiya: The Victories may have Arman, Amy, Demi, and Dante, but there's still a free spot, and you're up against Inferno.

Fumiya: No offense, but neither of you will even stand a chance against them. Still, I can't just stand by and watch you lose like this, so I will offer the Victories my services and guide you all to a glorious win!

Fumiya: That's right. You can thank me later.

Ichika: Hate to break it to you, but we've got a full team.

Fumiya: That's nonsense. Your big brother is the very best chance you've got.

Dragon rolled over to Fumiya's foot.

Fumiya: Hmm?

Dante: Oh, hey, Fumiya!

Fumiya: Here you go. Dante Koryu, now that I am here, you can rest assured. In order to stop the threat to the blading world that is Inferno...

Dante: Oh! I just thought of a good strategy!

Fumiya: let us join forces and battle to-- Huh?

Destiny: Sorry, Mr. Kindo, but our team is full.

Dante: Let's go again! Come on! One more time!

Delta: I'm already regretting teaming up with you. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Dante: Oh, come on. Don't say that! I'm gonna get stronger. I promise! Delta!

Fumiya: So is this...

Delta: Forget it.

Ichika: Mm-hmm.

Dante: Seriously, Delta?!

Taka: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Fumiya: Well, then. I see. So that's it, I guess, huh? Then that's what you meant? Uh, well, um, okay.

(Meanwhile with Arman)

He was sitting at the river bed.

Arman: (The first time I've met Dante and Demi was at the Bey Festival. They weren't the worst at Blading back then.) (But...)

(Flashback)

Dante: Put an end to this!

Arman: (Joe, Lodin... Pheng, and Blindt, too, they've got stronger with each one.)

(Flashback at chapter 36)

Peregrines: FINAL/PLATINUM BLAST!!!

Koryus: WINGED RECOIL/BOUND WING!!!!

(End of flashback)

Arman: (They'd even took down Arley and Arthur. Meanwhile, here I am, not even able to enter Hyper-Flux.) (Gasps)

(At the Victories)

Arman: Huh?

He sees the Zakuros, Amy, and the Hyper Warp Stadium.

Amy: What's up, bro?

Arman: Hey, uh, where'd the stadium come from?

Destiny: Dante asked the league if we could borrow it for practice.

Arman: Where's everyone?

Delta: They're off training.

Arman: Oh, I see.

Destiny: Tell me something, Arman. What do you blade for?

Arman: Eh? That's obvious. So I can become stronger, of course. I want to enter Hyper-Flux just like Dante and Demi and become stronger to defeat Arley and Arthur.

Amy: I get it. If I'm going to enter Hyper-Flux, how am I gonna be stronger?

Delta: You are not them.

Kusabas: Eh?

Delta: If what you really seek is to get stronger, face yourself first. You can only be you, not Demi or Dante.

Arman: (Gasps)

Amy: (Does Delta feel the same way we do about this, watching Dante and Demi get stronger right before his eyes?)

Arman: (We can't afford to fall behind.)

Amy: Hey, Destiny, Delta, let's battle just the four of us!

Destiny: Fine with me.

Arman: (I am me, not Dante, and not Delta. I've gotta do this on my own way!)

Amy: (I'm myself. Not Demi or Destiny. I'm my own Blader.)

Amy's tying her hair up and Arman put his headband on

Arman: Here goes!

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

Delta: Go, Devolos!

Destiny: Let's do this, Demonyx!

Amy: I don't think so!

Arman: You're goin' nowhere!

Ashindra went pass Devolos, but got knocked back.

Arman: (Gasps)

Delta: Accelerate!

Destiny: Faster!

Devolos and Demonyx went to the upper deck and went head on to them.

Kusabas: We'll knock you back! Bushin Guard/Cosmic Defense!!!

Somehow, they got through to Ashindra and Astro's defenses and got bursted.

Amy: How?!

Arman: (Sputters) One more time!

Ashindra and Astro burst again and again and ringed out.

Arman: (Panting)

Amy: (Groans) What's wrong with us?! Why do we keep losing so much?!

Arman: No matter what we do, it just won't work. (Gasping)

Destiny: Are you two really connecting with your Beys?

Kusabas: (Gasps)

Delta: You have to listen to what Astro and Ashindra is trying to say.

Amy: Astro, Ashindra, are we--are we worthy of you two?

Arman: As a Blader?

Ashindra: Yo, what's up with that face?

Kusabas: (Gasps)

(Resonating with Ashindra and Astro)

Arman: Huh?

Amy: Is this real? Where are we?

Astro: Hello, Amy.

Amy: Astro?

Arman: Uh, is that you, Ashindra?

Ashindra: You bet it is. We've been here this whole time, and you still aren't sure?

Amy: Eh, no, we were just makin' sure.

Astro: Whatever. Anyway, we're glad that we're your Beys.

Arman: Huh?

Ashindra: You're a good dude. You two work hard to become the best bladers you can be, so, don't go overthinking things.

Astro: Just focus on the battle and believe in your Beys.

Kusabas: Ashindra/Astro.

Ashindra: Think you can do that, guys? We'll always be right there with you.

Astro: You can count on it.

(End of Resonating)

Kusabas: Astro/Ashindra. (Grunts)

Arman: Let's go again!

Delta: Bring it on!

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

Destiny: Demonyx!

Delta: Go, Devolos!

Amy: (They're trying to speed up on the upper deck. Not if we can help it!)

Arman: Stay strong, Ashindra!

Devolos hits Ashindra but it holds out.

Amy: Nice!

Delta: We're not done!

The rest of the group came back from their training.

Demi: (Sighs) Finally. Look!

Dante: Huh? ✨✨ A battle?!

Tango: (Gasps)

Kusabas: (Growls)

Zakuros: Go, Demonyx/Devolos! Keep attacking!

Amy: (Groans) We'll block whatever you throw at us!

Dante: That's amazing, guys!

Taka: That's right! Keep it up!

Kusabas: I believe in you, Ashindra/Astro.

Kusabas: (Roars) (Summon their avatars)

Dante: (Gasps)

Demi: No way!

Tango: They've entered Hyper-Flux!

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

Devolos and Demonyx entered Hyper-Flux and sped up on the upper deck.

Amy: ASTRO! KEEP COUNTER!!!

Arman: DOUBLE BUSHIN GUARD!!!

Zakuros: (Gasps)

Kusabas: WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS ONE!!!

Victories: (Gasps)

Devolos and Demonyx stayed in. Astro burst and Ashindra rang out.

Ichika: So close!

Amy: Dang!

Arman: (Panting)

Demi: Oh, wow. Amy! Arman! They've shined! They were shining!

Amy: Yeah, it was.

Dante: YOU DID IT!!! Hyper-Flux, Arman! They've actually entered Hyper-Flux!

Arman: Yeah! I get it!

Dante: (Laughing)

Arman: Now get off of me, would you?!

Amy: Get off him, you idiot!

Demi: I'm glad, Amy!

Tango: Right on! That's the stuff!

Dante: Ah, come on, guys!

Dante: Why don't you try battling us next?

Amy: (Gasps) I'm in!

Arman: You got it!

(The next day)

Hanami: Okay, boys, girls, and everyone in between! The fated battle between the Victories and Inferno that will most likely rock the fabric of the Blading world is about to begin! This event will be a six-on-six Team Battle! On the Victories' side, we've the Koryus, the Kusabas, and the Zakuros, and the Inferno team consists of the Peregrines, Blindt DeVoy, and surprisingly the Reynolds! Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss out on this battle!

Arman: Come on, Dante. Where are you, man?

Demi: He must have overslept.

(Outside)

Dante: (Yells) I'm gonna be late! Hmm?

He sees three people up ahead. Turns out, it was the Reynolds siblings.

Dante: Guys, hey.

Linda: Dante?

(Wind blowing)
