Selena and the Hizashis were sitting near the beach.

Hikaru: In the end, we couldn't win once.

His mind flashed of how Lui beat him and Hinata.

Hikari: So that's what it's like facing a Legend.

Hyuga: (Growls)

Selena: And then there's them.

Her mind flashed of the Valhallas beat Lui.

Hyuga: (Growls)

Hikaru: Even if I'm knocked out, heroes always get back up!

Hinata: I'll enter the Legend Festival and get my revenge!

Hyuga: Yeah, you will!

(At the RTA)

Ranjiro: Those five are so late. What in the world are those pipsqueaks up to?

Hyuga: Time to get our training started!

Ranjiro: There you are! I've been waitin' for you guys!

Hizashis: (Gasps)

Selena: Cap'n?

Ranjiro: So how did it go?

Hikari: Wait. What do you mean? How did what go?

Ranjiro: Ain't it obvious? I'm talkin' about Villainous Libra and Vex Lucius!

Hizashi Bros: (Gasps)

Hizashi Sisters: You knew?!

Ranjiro: They'd burst Lúinor and that's like a whole 'nother level! Lain and Lyra's definitely going to the Legend Festival, and they'll probably be one of the toughest Bladers there!

Yukio: Remember, Cap'n's already secured his spot in the festival.

Hizashis: (Grunts)

Hikari: Then you should be asking Hyuga. He's the one that battled Lain.

Ranjiro: Huh? For real?! You went up against Lucius?

Hyuga: (Sputters) Yeah, of course.

Ranjiro: So you won?

Hyuga: I lost.

Hikari: It was an unofficial match.

(Flashback at Ogre Island)

Lyra: Ready. Set!

Lain and Hyuga: 3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Lucius' rubber blades extended.

Hyuga: Hey, what's that? There's something around his bey!

Hikari: I've never seen that bey in my life.

Hyuga: Whatever it is, it's going flying! Give it to 'em, Hyperion!

Hyuga: (Gasps)

Hikari: It must be a Defense Type.

Hyuga: (Groans) We're going again!

Hyperion attacks Lucius again and again

Hyuga: (No matter how much I attacked, I couldn't get close at all.)

Ranjiro: (Okay, and then?)

Lain: VEXING WALL!!!!

Hyuga: (Groans and Gasps)

Hyuga: (Gasps)

(End of Flashback)

Hyuga: I'd never seen anything like it. It was so strong!

Ranjiro: Hah! Now I'm fired up. Just you wait, Lucius and Libra. Me and Roktavor are about to rock and roll!

Hyuga: So will we!

Hikaru: (Gasps)

Hyuga: Next time I face Lain, I'll get my revenge!

Reina: Hey, this is new. Those two are totally clicking for once.

Chuck: I know, right?

Selena: Totally agreeing to one another.

Hikaru: I'm going to win a battle against them as well. I have to enter the Legend Festival, no matter what.

Rantaro came out of the door

Hyuga: (Chuckles) Hey, Honcho!

Rantaro didn't say nothing and had that serious look on his face.

Comets and Ranjiro: Huh?

Hikari: Honcho?

Rantaro: I just got some new information about the higher-ups. Hikaru, Hinata, and Selena have been bumped to A-Rank, and they secured a spot in the Legend Festival.

Comets: (Gasps)

Yukio: Really?!

Rantaro: They said they'd put up a good fight against Lui in the Ranked battle. And although they were paired with Valt, the fact that they won against Free in a tag battle proved they're good enough.

Hyuga fist bumps Hikaru's chest.

Hikaru: (Gasps)

Hyuga: Good going, Hikaru.

Hikaru: Thanks.

Hikari: Nice work, Hinata. Selena.

Hinata: Thank you.

Yukio: I'm proud of you, Big Sis.

Selena: Thanks, Yukio.

Hyuga: All right! I'm gonna rank up and get a spot on my own!

Rantaro: Sorry, but you and Hikari can't enter. Selena, Hikaru, and Hinata are the final competitors.

Comets: (Gasps)

Hikari and Hyuga: They're the last one?

Rantaro: At this point, all the spots have been filled.

Hyuga: Uh...

Hikari: W-We can't even enter?

Rantaro: Frustrated? Then you need to train harder and get even stronger.

Hyuga: After everything, we can't even participate in the Legend Festival? (Stifled sobs)

Hikari: (sobbing) Everything we did was for nothing?

Hikari and Hyuga: (Wailing)

Selena: Hyuga! Hikari!

Hinata: Hey!

Rantaro: Hold up! Chasing after them won't help. They're gonna have to ride this out.

Hikaru: (Gasps and Groans)

Hinata: But, Honcho...

Rantaro: The best thing you can do for Hyuga and Hikari now is win your way through the Festival left and right. It's just as much for them as it is for you.

Hinata and Hikaru: (Gasps)

Rantaro: If you get that, go train!

Comets: (Sighs)

Selena: I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do.

Hikaru and Hinata: (Sighs)

(With Noboru)

Noboru: The fish are nice and fresh today. I got myself a major haul. 🎵Flippy-floppy, splishy-splashy🎵 🎵Cook 'em up and--🎵

Hyuga and Hikari: (Wailing)

Noboru: Huh?

Hyuga and Hikari: (Wailing)

Noboru: Hikari? Hyuga?

(At the Hizashi's house)

Hikari: That's why we're upset.

Noboru: I see.

Noboru: Even though you two put in all of that effort. Okay, your dad will cook you a meal that'll make you a hundred times stronger!

Hikari: Huh? Really, Daddy?

Hyuga: Really? A hundred?!

(Inside their house)

Noboru: We'll put in a healthy dash of this. And toss in some of these, too. And my special ingredient to hit that hundred.

Hyuga: I can't wait, dad!

Hikari: Your amazing!

Noboru: And now it's done.

Hyuga: I'm getting so much stronger!

Hyuga and Noboru: All right! Let's eat!

Hyuga and Noboru: SO SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! SPICY! WATER!!!

Hikari: I knew it come to this.

Terumi: Here you go. Drink up, boys.

(At the RTA)

Selena and Cap'n were practicing.

Ranjiro: What's wrong? You ain't gonna take down Roktavor with attacks like that.

Selena: I'm gonna do it, for Hikari and Hyuga's sake! Go, Selene! Now, Lunar Spear!

Selene knocked Roktavor out.

Chuck: Yeah! She did it!

Ranjiro: Well, well, well. Heh. Not too shabby.

Selena: Thanks, Cap'n.

Rantaro: Hmph.

Hyuga and Hikari: Heh. Me, too! I wanna battle, too!

Hinata: Hyuga. Hikari. You came back.

Hikari: Dad cooked us a spicy meal, and now we're a hundred times stronger!

Hyuga: It was ultra-spicy and had some serious kick!

Hikaru: Hikari. Hyuga.

Comets: (Chuckles)

Selena: Guess they really figured it out on their own.

Hikaru: Bring it on, then! Let's see how much stronger you've gotten!

Hyuga: You should be careful what you ask for! Heh.

Ranjiro: All right, here we go! Ready. Set!

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

Valt: It's finally time for the Legend Festival. This is gonna be fun.

Akane: Right? I can't wait till it's almost here.

(Footsteps)

Valt: Hmm?

Akane and Valt saw their old friend.

Valt: It's Shu.

Shu: Eventually, those Flare's going to burn them up completely. I didn't want Lain and Lyra to walk down the same path I did, so I ask them to join the Bulls. But...

(In America)

Lain: Go, Uranus! Crush them into pieces!

Burst

Blader: (Gasps) It can't be.

Lain: (Growls) So weak. You are too weak! IS THERE NO ONE OUT THERE WHO CAN MAKE ME TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY?!

Shu: (The more they trained, the more obsessed they became. They were consumed of getting stronger. And I thought-- I thought if he battled Free, maybe they'd realize just how fun true battles, how fun Beyblade can really be.)

Lyra: Free De La Hoya, here's a prediction.

Lain: Fafnir is gonna be crushed by Uranus!

Free: (Grunts)

Shu: Ready. Set.

3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Free: (Sighs)

Lain: This all you've got?

Free: Come again?

Lain: Uranus, now! Tear them apart!

BURST

Shu: (Gasps)

Lain: (Chuckles)

Free: (Gasping)

Lyra: I didn't expect that.

Lain: (Growls)

Lain: I just defeated a Blading Legend! (Roars)

Shu: (After defeating Free, Lain's Flare grew even larger.)

Shu stopped and saw the door was slightly open. He saw the Valhallas working with their Beys.

Lyra: Give us more.

Lain: We need Beys that are worthy of Blading with us.

Lyra: They're done. This is it, the most powerful Beys ever!

Valhallas: Vex Lucius/Villainous Libra!

Shu: (Gasps)

Shu: (And then they evolved Uranus into Libra and Lucius.)

Shu: But still, I wasn't quite ready to abandon all hope yet.

Valt: So you took them to challenge Lui.

Shu: (Sighs)

His mind flashed of Lain and Lyra burst Lúinor.

Shu: I really thought I could change them. Perhaps that was too arrogant of me.

Valt: Shu, come on.

Akane: That's not true. You've tried, but there's still time for you to save them.
