Hizashis: Thanks for the food! Let's eat!

Hizashi Bros: (Gobbling)

Terumi: Come on now. Please just chew your food!

Hizashi Sisters: Or you'll choke!

Hizashi Bros: Chew, chew, chew, chew.

Hikaru: Time for some serious training! Those Legends better get ready.

Hikari: What do you wanna do?!

Hinata: I'm thinkin' we start with some battles.

Hyuga: Yeah, battles!

Terumi: Keep going full steam ahead with a extra helping of energy!

Noboru: Huh? Hey, come on. That's my thing.

Hizashi Bros: Okay, we're off!

Hizashi Sisters: Bye bye!

Hizashis: (Panting)

???: (Yelling)

Hikari pulled her skirt down.

Hikari: Watch where you're going!!

Hikaru: Whoa. What was that?

Hyuga: Don't know.

Hinata: He was so fast I couldn't see him.

???: Hey, you guys?

Hizashis: Huh?

The Hizashi siblings see 3 girls. One with blonde hair with light blue highlights, and 2 other girls with white hair.

???: You've seen that kid that just ran pass you?

Hinata: Uh, yeah.

Hikari: He went zooming right past us.

???: I swear, that boy's always filled with excitement.

???: The boy that went past you, that would be my little brother.

Hizashi Bros: Your little brother?

???: And our boyfriend.

Hizashi Sisters: You guys have a boyfriend?!

(With someone)

???: (Yelling)

???: (Yelling continues)

That boy was none other than, the one and only, Dante Koryu.

Dante: (Gasping) This way!

(With the Comets)

Chuck: I challenge you!

Selena: What's wrong, Chuck?

Guy: You're rather enthusiastic today.

Chuck: I can't lag behind Hyuga, Hikaru, Hinata, and Hikari, dude! I wanna get stronger! I gotta catch up to those four!

Guy: Honestly, I don't think that's possible.

Yukio: Here we go.

Reina: Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1,

Dante: 😡 (Yelling)

Guy: Huh?

Reina: What the...

Yukio: Yikes!

Dante: All right, Hikaru Hizashi! It's time to rise up and battle!

Guy: (Stammers)

Reina: Uh, who are you?

Selena: Where have I seen him before?

Dante: Let's battle, Hikaru Hizashi!

Chuck: Sorry, dude! I'm not him, so please back up!

Dante: Huh? You're not?

Guy: (Gasps)

Dante: So then it's you! Hikaru Hizashi, battle me right now!

Guy: I-I'm not him either!

Dante: Oh, really? Well, then you must be Hyuga! Doesn't matter! Let's battle!

Guy: I'm telling you, you've got the wrong guy!

Dante: Then that must mean you're Hyuga!

Chuck: No, no, I'm not, really! Why do you have to get so close?

Dante: Wait. So you aren't? Well, then maybe you're...

Reina: (Gasps) Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.

???: My love, they're not here.

Dante: Hmm? Then, where can they be? Oh! I know!

Comets: Hmm?

Selena: Did she say, 'my love'?

Dante: Hmm. Yup, this is the place.

Dante: Well, that's kinda weird. I'm pretty sure Valt was tellin' me I could find some really interesting Bladers to battle here.

Yukio: You're looking for Hinata, Hikari, Hikaru and Hyuga, right?

???: Correct.

Reina: They're not here. They're training at the Rainbow Tree Arena.

Dante: The Rainbow Tree Arena?!

Chuck: I'm sure Honcho's got 'em workin' up a sweat right about now--

Dante: Got it! Thanks! (Yelling)

Reina: And there he goes.

Dante stopped for a second.

Guy: Huh. He stopped running.

Dante turned around and ran the other way.

Dante: (Yelling)

He did it again.

Dante: (Yelling)

Comets: Hmm?

And again.

Dante: (Yelling)

He goes back and forth until he stops.

Dante: Which way is it?

Comets: (Yelps)

Reina: The training center is--

Dante: That way!

Chuck: He knows that's not the right way, right?

Reina: So that was weird.

Guy: It was, but I've got a feeling I seen them somewhere before.

Reina: Yeah, maybe.

Chuck: But where?

Selena: Hey, what's your name? I'm--

Juniper: I know who you are. You're Selena Mikazuki. Guy, Reina, Chuck, and her younger brother, Yukio. I am Juniper Reynolds.

Comets: (Gasps)

Selena: Juniper Reynolds?! I remember you!

Yukio: Yeah, you're from the Victories. I thought I recognized that hair.

Selena: You're the Beyblade Expert people were talking about.

Yukio: Hey, Juniper, who was that guy?

???: Juniper, there you are! Where'd he go?

Juniper: You just missed him. He's heading to the Rainbow Tree Arena. Apologies, Demi.

Selena: Demi? As in Demi Koryu?!

Demi: Yeah.

Linda: I'm Linda Reynolds. I'm Juniper's sister.

Yukio: Wait, wait, wait, wait. If you're Demi Koryu, then that guy--

Comets and Mikazukis: He's Dante Koryu!

The Hizashis came by and the Comets explained everything.

Hizashis: Dante Koryu was here?!

Reina: Yeah, and guess what. He's looking for you.

Chuck: Apparently, he and Demi's gonna be in the Legend Festival, too.

Demi: That's right. We're competing.

Hikaru: The Dante and Demi Koryu?!

Hinata: I remember you, Demi.

Hinata: You're the ones who stood up to Inferno and save the Blading world!

Hikari: And you're saying they came over here to battle us?

Selena: I think he went looking for you four at the training center.

Hikaru: Then we'll find him.

Hyuga: Let's go!

Demi: Wait for me!

Selena: Guys, I'm coming, too!

Guy: That is if he actually made it there.

Juniper: He will.

(With the Hizashis, Linda, & Demi)

Hikari: Is it true that you're another Legend?

Demi: That's right. And so as Dante.

Hikaru: No way! We're getting to battle two Legends after another!

Hikari: Yeah, Free, Lui, and now Demi and Dante!

Selena: This is blowing my mind! I can't believe Dante has 2 girlfriends!

Linda: It wasn't that big of a deal. Me and Juniper always share with him.

Hinata: I'm goin' first!

Hyuga: Huh? Not if I beat you there!

Demi: To the training center!

Hizashis: (Yelling)

(At the RTA)

Hyuga: Hey, guys...

Hikaru: What's going on?

Linda: It's like they already lost.

Hikari: They got totally wrecked.

Demi: Big time.

Hinata: What happened, Hashiru?

Hashiru: That dude with this intense look came by.

Demi: 😅 I figured as much.

(Flashback)

Dante: Hikaru! Hinata! Hikari! Hyuga! Battle me!!!

Dante: Is it you? Or maybe you? Or is it you?

(End of flashback)

Hyuga: (Gasps)

Hinata: Wait! He took all of you out?

Hashiru: Meow...

Hyuga: ✨✨ (Wails) Oh, man! Now I really wanna battle him!

Hikaru: So where'd he go?

Hashiru: When I said you four went back to the Comets' gym, he started shouting and flew out of here.

Hikaru: The Comets, huh?

Hyuga: We're coming!

Hashiru: Meow.

Demi: Linda, Selena. I think we should stay here.

Linda: Yeah. Boys will be boys.

Selena: They'll figure it out.

(At the Comets)

Dante: They went back to the training center to find me?!

Chuck: Yeah.

Dante: I only came runnin' back here 'cause someone at the training center told me this is where they'd be! (Groans)

Reina: At least you found it.

Dante: We missed each other!

Chuck: Hmm.

Dante and Hizashis: (Yelling)

Hyuga: Dante!

Dante: Come on! Battle me!

Reina: He went to the training center.

Hizashis: Huh?!

Hashiru: They headed back to the Comets.

Dante: Huh?!

Hinata: We just missed each other!

Dante: Guess I just gotta head back!

Hikaru: Dante!

Dante: Battle me!

Dante and Hizashis: (Yelling)

Hikari: Okay, Dante!

Dante: All right, let's go!

Hizashis and Dante: (Yelling)

Hizashi Sisters: Come on! Battle us!

Dante: All right, battle me!

Hizashi Bros: Let's battle, already!

Dante: BATTLE ME!!!

(At the RTA)

Ranjiro: (Chuckles) Get ready, guys. I've got somethin' special--

Hizashi Bros: Head back!

Ranjiro: (Yelps) Hmph. Hey! Watch the merchandise! Huh?

Hizashi Sisters: (Panting) Hey, Cap'n.

Ranjiro: So, uh, what happened here?

Hashiru: Well, you see...

(Meanwhile)

Ranjiro: Wait. What? Some guy with a creepy face is tryin' to battle the little pipsqueaks?

Hashiru: Uh-huh, and he was super powerful. And I'm talking Legend level here.

Ranjiro: He's as strong as a Legends?

Demi: Uh-huh, I'll have you know that I'm a Legend, too.

Ranjiro: You're kiddin' me. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.

Demi: I'm--

Dante: Hinata! Hikari! Hikaru! Hyuga! (Groaning) Are you serious?! Why do we keep missing each other!?

Hashiru: That's the cat.

Ranjiro: That's Dante Koryu.

Demi: That's my little brother. I'm Demi Koryu.

Hashiru: (Screeches) Wait. For real?!

Dante: (Groans) Now I gotta run back!

Ranjiro: Hold it!

Dante: What is it?

Hashiru: (Screeches) That was them.

Demi: We have a challenger, Dante!

Ranjiro: I wasn't expecting to bump into 2 Blading Legends today. (Chuckles)

Hinata: I can't wait to see Demi and Dante battle.

Hikari: Me, too!

(At the Comets)

Hyuga: Man, he's takin' forever.

Guy: Maybe Dante decided to wait for the two of you back at the training center.

Hyuga: Oh!

Hikaru: Oh, yeah! (Grunts)

Hyuga: Let's go!

Chuck: Why don't we go over there with 'em?

Reina: I wanna see their battles against Dante and Demi, too!

(At the RTA)

Juniper: So... what did I miss?

Selena: You didn't miss nothing. Cap'n's about to battle Dante and Demi.

Juniper: I see.

Hikari: I'm gonna record this.

Demi: Ranjiro! Say hello to Storm Dragoness!

Dante: This is Triumph Dragon, and we're gonna win this!

Ranjiro: So their clockwise and counterclockwise-spinning Attack Types? Heh. The only winnin' here is me.

Rantaro: (How will you handle this, Ranjiro? They aren't opponents you can take lightly.)

The Hizashi Bros made it in time. The other four were exhausted.

Ranjiro: Let's go!

Dante: We're gonna give it our all!

Demi: No holding back!

Hikaru: Why is Cap'n here?

Hyuga: I thought Demi and Dante was here to go up against us.

Reina and Chuck shake off their exhaustion and start to commentate.

Chuck: Yahoo! Ranjiro "Cap'n" Kiyama is challenging two of the legendary dragon tamer and fox girl, Dante and Demi Koryu!

Rantaro: Ready. Set!

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

Chuck: No surprise, 3 Bladers land epic Lightning launches!

Ranjiro: All right! Do it, Roktavor!

Demi: Go, Dragoness!

Dante: Knock 'em out of there!

Chuck: Roktavor is sent flying sky-high!

Hinata: That's insane!

Hikaru: What's with that intense attack power?

Chuck: Now, Dragoness and Dragon's using the slope to pick up speed!

Chuck: It totally knocked Roktavor away!

Ranjiro: (Growls)

Hikari: Spring-loaded strike?

Juniper: That's Dragon's and Dragoness' secret weapon.

Dante: Keep going, Dragon!

Chuck: Dragon swoops in with blow after blow!

Ranjiro: Go ahead. I've got more stamina! Show 'em what's up!

Roktavor went to the surge crater and speeds up.

Ranjiro: WITNESS THE POWER OF OUR AWESOME STYLE! ROKTAVOR!!! (Summon avatar) GLIDE TORNADO!!!!

Linda: Darling, look out!

Koryus: (Roars) DRAGON/DRAGONESS!!!! (Summon avatars)

Three of the Beys collided and something popped out of Dragon and Dragoness' rings.

Koryus: GO! RISE/SHINE!! GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!!

Koryus: HYPER BOUND/EXTREME RECOIL!!!

Ranjiro: (Gasps)

Rantaro: It's Triumph Dragon and Storm Dragoness with a burst finish! Demi and Dante Koryu are the winners!

Dante: (Laughs) Oh, yeah! We nailed it!

Demi: We sure did!

Hyuga: Man, that attack was so cool!

Hikari: And those guys are perfectly in sync.

Hikaru: And we get to go against guys like that?

Hinata: I'm up next!

Hikaru: No, I am!

Hyuga: Mm, nuh-uh, me!

Hikari: No, it's me!

Hinata: It's me!

Hikaru: No, me!

Ranjiro: (Groans)

Rantaro: Looks like diamonds cut diamonds, my man.

Demi: (Wags her tail) That was so much fun, Ranjiro. Your Roktavor wasn't half-bad.

Ranjiro: (Growls) I won't lose next time! When we face off at the Legend Festival, I'm gettin' my payback!

Dante: Yeah, sure! I'm lookin' to battling you again! Later!

Juniper: Let's go, sister.

Linda: Huh? Wait for me!

Hinata: I'm going!

Hyuga: No, me!

Hikari: No--

Hizashis: (Gasps)

Dante: (Yelling)

Hizashis: Uh...

Hizashi Bros: Where are you going, Dante and Demi?! You're supposed to be here to battle us!!!

Hizashi Sisters: What about our battle, you idiot?!
