Juniper: There it is.

Dante: Whoa! It's Battle Island!

Arman: Yeah! We made it!

Demi: It's huge!

Taka: Wow! There's all sorts of stuff here!

Ichika: Isn't this amazing?

Amy: Amazing? It's incredible!

Arman: Man, this is really pumpin' me up!

Dante: Me, too! This is sick!

Ichika: Seriously. To be honest, I'm kinda jealous I didn't get my own invite.

Taka: Yeah, me, too.

Juniper: I'm also quite envious.

Dante: We'll do our best for all the Victories!

Arman: Just leave it to us.

Demi: All four of us competing.

Amy: We're gonna be landing soon.

Hanami: Hello, all you boys and girls! Welcome to Battle Island! It's good to see you.

Hanami: Very soon the curtains will rise on this awe-inspiring event!

Ichika: Hurry up! It's already started!

Demi: Come on, guys!

Amy: Wait for me!

Dante and Arman: Yeah!

Juniper: Good luck for this.

Taka and Ichika: Go, Victories! Rock on!

Hanami: Oh, yeah! All right, folks! The best bladers from all around the world are gathering here on Battle Island,

Hanami: and that also includes every single member of the Risen 4! Don't go anywhere, 'cause you won't wanna miss this!

Dante: Oh, we actually made it!

Arman: Just in the nick of time.

Fumiya: So then, you four are invited here as well?

Demi: I didn't know you be here, too, Fumiya.

Amy: We're ready to get this battle started.

Dante: Yeah! And we're here to throw down!

Fumiya: Hmph!

Pheng: I thought you'd be here!

Dante: Hey, Pheng! What's up?!

Demi: And where's Pearl?

Pheng: Over there.

Pearl: You got this, Pheng!

Arman: Things are gonna be different from the last time we met.

Pheng: Oh, yeah? You keepin' up with your training? (Laughs)

Destiny: Hey, Demi, over here!

Demi: Destiny! I can't believe it you're here as well!

Destiny: How's your training coming along?

Demi: Things are going well.

Dante: Delta! Awesome! You're here, too! Guess what? I've been getting a lot stronger!

Dante: ✨✨ (Squeals) I hope we get to battle again! (Laughs)

Delta: I'm here for one Blader, and it's not you.

Hanami: And now drumroll please! Introducing our special guests of honor! You know them! You'll love them!

Hanami: It's our Luna Akabane!

Luna: Hello, everybody!

Hanami: And her bey is Moonlight Lynx! With her brother by her side,

Hanami: it's the current World Champion, Aiger Akabane!

Aiger: Yeah!

Hanami: And at his side, a bey fit for a champion, Union Achilles!

Demi: That's Luna and Aiger.

Dante: 😡 (Groans)

He yells as went to the Akabane siblings.

Demi: Oh, no!

Aiger: Whoa!

Dante: Aiger Akabane! It's really you!

Aiger: Who are you suppose to be?

Luna: Don't ask me.

Demi: Real sorry about my brother. He gets excited when he sees new people.

Luna: Oh, I know that feeling.

Demi: I'm Demi Koryu. I like your bey.

Luna: Thank you.

Dante: So this is Union Achilles! (Yells)

Aiger: Seriously, who are you?!

Dante: I'm Dante, Dante Koryu! Let's battle! (Groans)

Arman grabs Dante as he holds him back.

Arman: Uh, sorry. He doesn't have an off switch.

Demi: Then, again, I'm really sorry.

Luna: It's fine.

Hanami: All righty! I'll go ahead and explain the rules. Direct your attention to the screen! The journey consists of 18 battle stages placed all over Battle Island! And this nifty device is the Dice Machine!

Arman and Dante: What's a Dice Machine?

Hanami: Each Blader will have to launch and then move forward the number of spaces indicated by the machine. Bladers who end up on the same stage will have to face off, and if you lose, you're out of the race! The bladers who survive and reach the final stage will get to battle our World Champion, Aiger and Luna Akabane!

Taka: So that means if someone gets lucky enough and rolls 3 sixes...

Ichika: They'll head straight to the goal, and they'll get to challenge Luna and Aiger.

Tango: You'll need some serious luck on your side if you wanna get ahead here.

Aiger: All right, guys. We're looking forward to battle you!

Luna: We'll be waiting at the finish!

Hanami: Wow! That's what I'm talkin' about! Oh, boy, now, that's what I call a challenge!

Pheng: (Chuckles) The first one to reach the goal's gonna be me.

Arman: Yeah, not if I make it there first, you won't.

Amy: Fat chance.

Dante: No, I will! Hmph.

Demi: Me.

Dante: Union Achilles.

Demi: Moonlight Lynx. Exactly what kind of Gamma Beys are those?

Dante: Dragon, I'm ready,

Dante: and I wanna battle those Beys as soon as I can!

Demi: Dragoness, let's give it a hundred percent.

Delta: (My Devolos will be the one to devour Achilles and Lynx.)

Destiny: (Demonyx.)

Hanami: Okay, Bladers! Grab that string of the Dice Machine, and get ready to launch!

Akabanes: Let's go! Ready, and set!

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

Hanami: Here we go! What'll it be? Only lady luck knows what challenges await you next!

Dante: Yes!

Or soon as he thought.

Dante: JUST A ONE?! OH, NO!!!

Demi rolled a one.

Demi: I got a one?!

Arman and Amy rolled a six.

Arman: Ah, yeah! I got a six!

Amy: Same for me!

Hanami: And now let the games begin! With that, each Blader is rushing out to meet their destiny head-on!

Taka: (Groans) We can't watch from here. That'd be way too boring!

Ichika: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Taka: Yup! Hey, Pops, we're gonna head out!

Tango: Eh? Wait! Don't leave me!

Pearl: Guys, I'm coming with!

Juniper: I guess I'll go.

(At the race)

Dante: (Groans) I can only move forward one!

Arman: Yeah, well, I got a six, so first place is gonna be mine!

Amy: You wish!

Demi: That's what you think.

Dante: Is this stage one?

Demi: Yeah.

Pheng: Smell you later!

Dante: (Gasps) Pheng!

Demi: Fumiya!

Fumiya: I'll be waiting up ahead, though honestly I doubt you'll make it.

Arman: That guy has to get a dig in, huh?

Demi: Amy, Arman, you guys rolled a six. You should go.

Arman: Uh, Yeah.

Amy: Don't worry. I'm sure you'll catch up!

Demi: Yeah! Dante, is something the matter?

Dante: (Groans) Why did I have to roll a one?

Blindt: Don't fret. One is a beautiful number.

Koryus: Huh?

Blindt: We're first. Everything will begin from this very spot.

Demi: (Gasps) I know you. You're Blindt DeVoy.

Dante: You rolled one, too?

Blindt: That's right. I hear you two originally from BC Sol like Destiny and Delta Zakuro.

Dante: Yeah! Delta's a friend of mine!

Demi: So as Destiny.

Hanami: Meeting up at stage one, the ruins, is Blindt DeVoy of the Risen 4 and Dante and Demi Koryu!

Luna: I like to see how this goes out.

Aiger: We're kicking things off with a pretty sweet matchup.

(In stage two)

Hanami: What have we got here?! Cutting over to the misty forest, stage two! there's a 4 Blader battle royale taking place right here now, including the Risen 4's very own Delta and Destiny Zakuro! Now, to the deserted island in stage- Wait! Is there only one Blader? Guess there won't be battling here, folks!

Pearl: Pheng rolled a three? Bummer.

Pheng: Really? I'm the only one that rolled a three? This is so lame.

Hanami: Meanwhile, at the circus that is stage 4, can you believe it? We've got ten bladers clashing!

Fumiya: Yup, my victory here is guaranteed!

Hanami: And finally at stage six, the five remaining bladers are facing off while suspended from a giant gear!

Amy: If we're gonna reach the finish first,

Arman: we're gonna have to keep on winning!

(Stage one)

Hanami: Okay! Today's epic battles will begin with a rampage in the ruins! This match will pit Blindt DeVoy of the Risen 4 against the two pride of the Victories, Demi and Dante Koryu!

Taka: Hey, Pops, come over here!

Tango: (Panting) Yeah.

Juniper: It's starting already?

Dice Machine: The winner of this battle will be the first to two points. First battle.

Dante: His Balkesh is a Defense Type. What kind of battle is this gonna be?

Demi: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Dante: Okay, I got it! I'm gonna go with Glyph Dragon!

Demi: Flare Dragoness.

Blindt: (Chuckles) Delta and Destiny Zakuro were quite powerful.

Dante: Hold on. You mean you battled Delta and Destiny?

Blindt: I did. They were truly a masterpiece.

Demi: I'm gonna go ahead and take a wild guess here. They'd won, didn't they?

Dante: Man, they're crazy strong, right?

Blindt: They are, but I would like to know if their friends are just as powerful.

Dante: Huh?

Blindt: And now I've been overcome with the urge to smother this canvas with black paint.

Dice Machine: Ready. Set!

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

Dante: Let's go!

Demi: It's spinning left.

Blindt: Now then, let's begin with a nice coat of dusk.

Hanami: Dusk Balkesh is making a beeline for center stage, but it looks like Glyph Dragon and Flare Dragoness have other plans, as it goes on the attack!

Koryus: Go get 'em! Dragoness/Dragon Launch!

Hanami: Glyph Dragon and Flare Dragoness are unleashing a volley of attacks!

Blindt: (Chuckles)

The Gen weight is not making a difference.

Tango: What do we have here? That bey won't burst easily.

Juniper: A rubber weight, huh? Balkesh is full of surprises.

Hanami: But Dusk Balkesh continues to hang on!

Luna: Balkesh is really strong.

Aiger: Whoa, that Balkesh ain't too shabby.

Destiny: (Hang on, Demi.)

Delta: (If you can't win here, your Hyper-Flux will never evolve.)

Dante: Let's do this! Get going, Dragon!

Hanami: Dusk Balkesh takes a heavy hit and gets blown back!

Blindt: I must admit that's a strong attack. However... I foresee us having some artistic differences.

Blindt: Now Dusk Crash!

Dante: What the?!

Demi: Dante!

Dragoness comes in as Balkesh strikes it and Dragon cleaned out of the stadium.

Dice: Point goes to Dusk Balkesh with a ring out finish. Point standings, one-zero.

Ichika: What was that?

Taka: Balkesh is tough. Wow.

Pearl: No kidding.

Blindt: My, my, I must commend you for not bursting there. (Chuckles)

Dante: (Groans) Balkesh's defense is crazy. How are we gonna get past that, Dragon? How?

Demi: I don't know. I need to think.

Demi: Tell me, Dragoness.
