Beyblade Burst Surge OCWords: 8724

Ranjiro: I've heard the stories of how you both defeated Free and Lui. (Scoffs) That must be Villainous Libra and Vex Lucius, the so-called untouchable bey everyone's been goin' on about. Well get ready,

Ranjiro: 'cause I'll be the one to take 'em down!

Lain: Are you serious? You wanna face Lucius and Libra with that?

Ranjiro: What'd you say?! You just love gettin' under people's skin, don't you? You know what? Cocky guys like you grind my gears more than anyone else.

Harry and Livia: (Hisses)

Lyra: Why should I care? Well, at least you make for some half-decent practice.

Ranjiro: Heh. Don't underestimate me. You'll be singin' a different tune by the time I'm done with you! Now let's go!

Lain: Bring it.

Lyra: Come at us.

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

Ranjiro: Knock 'em out of there. Roktavor!

Roktavor heads to Lucius and didn't effect it at all.

Lyra: Is that all?

Lain: You're never going to be able to touch Lucius with pathetic attacks like that.

Ranjiro: We're just warmin' up! Glide Tornado! Now, send those small fries flying!

Lucius and Libra got caught in the tornado.

Ranjiro: Come on!

Lain: It's no use.

Lyra: Villain Cannon.

Ranjiro: (Gasps) Why, you little... (Gasps)

Lain: This can't be all you've got, can it?

Ranjiro: (Growls) No, of course it isn't! I'm not backin' down after one little loss!

Lain: (Growls)

Lyra: Suit yourself.

Lucius burst Roktavor

Ranjiro: (Growls) One more time.

Libra burst Roktavor.

Lyra: Give us more. Come at us even more.

Roktavor burst

Lain: These pitiful attacks aren't enough to fuel the flames of our Flare!

Ranjiro: (Gasps) We aren't done here!

Two of Cap'n's friends came to spy on their battle. It's Luna Akabane and Aiko Masayoshi.

Aiko: This can't be good.

Luna: Cap'n... you can't win. Just give up.

Lyra: Too weak.

Ranjiro: (Panting)

Lyra: You're too weak!

Ranjiro: What's those guys made of? They're insane!

Lain: What a complete waste of time.

Ranjiro: Why, you...

Lyra: (Gasps) (That look in his eyes.)

Lain: (Chuckles)

The Valhallas got into their launch positions.

Ranjiro: (Chuckles) Here we go!

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

Ranjiro: (Winces)

Luna: (His arm!)

Aiko: (He launched way too hard!)

Lain: (Laughs) It's about time.

Ranjiro: (Groans) Go get 'em!

Ranjiro: POUND THOSE GUYS INTO THE GROUND!! ROKTAVOR!!! (Summon avatar)

Luna: Please stop.

Aiko: Ranjiro...

Ranjiro: LET'S GO!!!!

Valhallas: LUCIUS/LIBRA!!! (Summon avatars)

Libra hits Roktavor as Lucius got it pinned on the wall.

Lyra: ELIMINATE THEM!

Lain: IT'S OVER! NOW VEXING CRUSH!!!

Lain: (Growling)

Lyra: BREAK!!!

Aiko: (Gasps)

Luna: (Covers her mouth in shock)

Ranjiro: (Gasps) No, Roktavor, you can't be... (Winces)

Lain: Even for a nobody, you were at least some use to me in the end.

Ranjiro picked his broken Bey.

Ranjiro: (Gasping)

Aiko: Let's go, Luna.

Luna: I'm sorry, Cap'n.

Ranjiro: (Groaning) ROKTAVOR!!!! (Sobs)

(Meanwhile at the Hizashis house)

Hizashis: Oh, boy/wow! That look so tasty/good/delicious, Dad!

Noboru: It's to celebrate your entry into the Legend Festival. Eating this will give you a massive boost of energy, and your victory will be assured.

Hikaru: Yeah, I'm definitely gonna win it all for sure.

Hinata: Thank you, Dad. So good.

Selena: My mouth is filled with joy!

Noboru: Here, Hyuga. You too.

Hyuga: Oh, yeah!

Hikari: I think I'm in love.

Hinata: With what? The meat?

Hikari: You guessed it.

Hikaru: Mmm. So good.

Hyuga: Uh...

Hikaru: Mmm. Hmm?

Hyuga: Hikaru, here. Eat mine, too!

Hikaru: (Gasps) You mean it?

Hyuga: (Chuckles) Go ahead! Scarf it down!

Hikaru: Oh, Hyuga.

Hinata: Hyuga, that's so nice of you.

Hyuga: Keep eating, and get an upset tummy.

Hikaru: Eh?

Hyuga: Then you won't be able to Blade, and I can take your place! (Laughs)

Selena: You sure about that?

Hikaru: Not on my watch! Hit me, Dad!

Hinata: Me too!

Noboru: Here.

Hikaru: A hero's stomach will never falter to a challenge like this!

Hinata: A warrior will never rest her stomach to the very end!

Selena: We'll just eat your share, too!

Hikari: Hang on a second! We wanna eat some, too, you know!

Hyuga: Hit us, Dad!

Noboru: Here you go.

Noboru gives them a stick of vegetables.

Hyuga and Hikari: What?!

Hyuga: Hey, where's the meat?! I need protein!

Selena: Hey, you guys should be grateful for that!

Terumi: Four of you should eat your vegetables, too!

(At the Wild Bey Gang's hideout)

Rantaro: Ranjiro! Oh, there you are.

Ranjiro: Hmm?

Rantaro: I've got someone here who wants to see you.

Luna: Hey, Cap'n.

Aiko: Long time, no see.

Ranjiro: Luna. Aiko.

Aiko: We aren't the only one with surprises.

Someone came right behind Luna and Aiko. It's Luna's brother.

Ranjiro: (Gasps)

Ranjiro: Aiger!

Aiger: Cap'n, what's up? It's been a while. (Laughs) I heard you're gonna be in the Festival, too!

Ranjiro: Uh, yeah.

Aiger: We're gonna battle against Valt and Lui and Free and who knows who else! I'm getting all kinds of hyped up! (Laughs) Man, I can't wait!

Luna: Uh, Aiger.

Aiger: Cap'n... let's have a little battle. Come on!

Aiko: Uh, dude?

Ranjiro: (Gasps)

Rantaro: Hmm?

Aiger: Hey, what's takin' you so long? Come on. Hurry up, and get your Bey ready! (Laughs)

Ranjiro: I can't.

Aiger: Huh?

Ranjiro: I said I can't.

Aiger: Eh? Why not?

Luna: Show him, Cap'n.

Ranjiro: Luna.

Aiko: We saw it all.

Luna: Just do it.

Ranjiro showed them broken pieces of Roktavor.

Aiger and Rantaro: (Gasps)

Aiger: What happened to Roktavor?!

Ranjiro: It was destroyed. Lain and Lyra got me.

Aiger: Wait. Lyra and Lain?!

Rantaro: You battled them?! But why?

Ranjiro: (Groans) They were strong,

Ranjiro: so strong, it makes me mad! (Winces)

Rantaro and Aiger: (Gasps)

Aiger: What's wrong, Cap'n?

Ranjiro: Nothin' to worry about.

Aiko: Don't lie, man.

Rantaro: Here. Let me see it.

Ranjiro: I said it's nothin'!

Rantaro: Oh, chill out. Just show me.

Ranjiro: (Growls)

Honcho checks on his brother's arm.

Ranjiro: (Grunts) It's no big deal.

Rantaro: (Sighs)

Luna: It is a big deal. You launched so hard, your arm popped!

Aiger: He's okay, isn't he? What about the festival?

Luna: Not happening. Not in this condition.

Aiko: She's right.

Ranjiro: I can still go!

Rantaro: She said no, and that's final!

Luna: You're hurt, Cap'n! So you can't Blade!

Ranjiro: (Gasps) But I can't just let things end like this! If I don't show those good-for-nothing what's what... (Sputtering)

Aiger: (Gasps) I'm sorry, Cap'n.

(Tonight)

Ranjiro: Man, that battle's got me feelin' all kinds of salty.

Aiger: I know how you feel. I'll blow that Lain and Lyra guys away.

Luna: You should be concentrating on your own battles, you know? Right, Cap'n?

Aiger: (Gasps)

Ranjiro: I've gotta fix Roktavor and then train from square one again. I'll be the one to make them pay for all of this, and I'll come out of this stronger than ever before.

Aiger: Right, Cap'n.

Ranjiro: Hey, Aiger. Luna. Aiko.

Akabanes: Yeah?

Aiko: Hm?

Ranjiro: Fight extra hard for me, too.

Luna: Right.

Aiger: (Chuckles) Yeah.

Aiko: We won't let you down, buddy.

(The next day)

Hyuga and Hikari: Huh? Seriously?

Hinata and Hikaru: Huh?!

Comets: (Gasps)

Hyuga: We can participate in the festival?!

Rantaro: Yeah. Given all of your hard work, you and Hikari were one of the final candidates, so they gave you both an official spot due to the circumstances.

Hyuga: (Groans)

Ranjiro: It's lookin' like I'm not gonna be ready in time for the festival. It can't be helped.

Hyuga: Are you really sure?

Hikaru: Of course he is. This is Cap'n!

Hyuga: O-oh, yeah.

Ranjiro: Come on. Wipe that gloomy look off your face.

Hyuga: Eh?

Ranjiro: Listen up, Hikari, Hyuga! You two are battlin' in my place, so you better not lose. You got it?!

Hikari: Cap'n.

Hinata: Guys.

Hyuga: Yeah! All right! I'm gonna win, win, and win some more!

Hikaru: That's right. We'll win with style!

Ranjiro: Well said, guys! (Chuckles)

Selena: Okay! Guys, let's practice!

Hizashis: Yeah! Time to train!

(On top of the tree)

Luna: Cap'n, we'll do it for your sake, too.

Aiger: We're gonna blow everyone else away.

Aiko puts his mask on.

Dante and Demi are training at the Victories with Amy and Arman.

Free doing his meditation training in the woods.

Lui training in Ogre Island.

Silas is walking through at the airport.

Valt and Akane are walking past the stadiums.

Finally, Lyra and Lain looked up in the sky at the abandoned factory.

(Back at the Comets)

Hizashis: Let's go! We'll break our Limits!

Selena: Yeah!
