Daiki: Hey Fumiya, we've finally reached the quarter finals.
Jun: Show those losers what we're made of.
Fumiya: Trust me I will. The only reason this tournament exists is for us Spark Wings to shine in the spotlight.
(The Victories walking down)
Fumiya: Hmm? Oh, great, it's them.
Dante: So he's suppose to be a risk taker? Well, it's risky business battling against us.
Arman: Yeah, get in line. I'm the one that's beating Joker.
Dante: Nuh-uh, I am!
Arman: No, me!
Demi: Come on, guys. No fighting.
Amy: Yeah, cut it out.
Ichika: They're getting all worked up when they don't even know if they're battling him yet?
Fumiya: Well, you're bursting with energy, if nothing else.
Ichika: Fumiya.
Fumiya: Are you really so happy to made it to the top 8? You're only here because you got lucky.
Dante: Yeah, right! who needs luck?
Fumiya: You, apparently. I mean honestly 4 bladers from a ragtag club about making it this far? You can't possibly think you're here because of your skill, can you?
Dante: Say that again!
Ichika: That's enough, Fumiya! Just turn around, and leave us alone! And if you have something you want to say, why don't you say it with your bey? After all, you're a Blader just like us!
Fumiya: (growls) When did you get so high and mighty? I never thought you would talk back to me like that. But, if that's what you want, I'll oblige. Wizard Fafnir and I are going to crush both of you, so you better look forward to it. Let's go.
Daiki and Jun: Yes sir.
Arman: That guy sure does love to hear himself talk.
Amy: He's just a jerk.
Hanami: Okay, boys and girls, we're entering the quarterfinals in the Beyblade Carnival! Now, let's get to announcing the matchups!
Hanami: And there they are! Starting on match 1, we have the unyielding Bladers Arman and Amy Kusaba vs the Mad-cap Maverick, Joe Lazure!
Taka: It's this guy again?
Ichika: That makes 3 of us. Seriously, what are the odds of that happening.
Dante: Why couldn't it have been me?!
Demi: Don't worry, we'll get our chances.
Joe: (Chuckles)
Fumiya: Huh. He gets all the good luck.
Arman: Well, Sis, we'd better head over. (Puts on his headband)
Amy: (Ties her hair up) Let's go.
Dante: Man, they're really revved up, huh?
Ichika: 'Cause they care about the Victories. We simply can't afford to lose 3 matches in a row.
Taka: Yeah, exactly. They're giving this tournament everything they've got, because if we can win this competition, then maybe people look down on the Victories and call us a ragtag team anymore. Tango might not ever really worry about that kind of stuff, but it always gets underneath Arman and Amy's skin. So they swore they're was gonna win this tournament for Tango's sake as well.
Demi: So then, all of that was going through their heads?
Ichika: Hey, it's Pops.
Demi: Hey, Uncle!
Dante: Yo, over here!
Tango: Oh! (Looked down and saw the Kusabas) Arman. Amy.
(At the stadium)
Hanami: Time for our first match! The battle between Amy and Arman Kusaba and Joe Lazure is about to begin! Arman's bey the blazing Bushin Ashindra, Amy's bey is the sun Cosmic Astro, while Joe's showing off his Judgement Joker!
Joe: Arman and Amy Kusaba, I've been wanting to battle you two for a long time now.
Amy: (Judgement Joker is a double bladed Balance type. Honestly, I'm not sure if we can withstand attacks from those things,)
Amy: (And it's gonna be pretty hard to read its movements.)
Arman: (Instead of attacking like a madman, we'll harden our defense off the bat and turn this into battle of stamina.)
Referee: All right, 1st battle!
Demi: (Gasps) What did he just do?
Dante: Hold on. He adjusted his Bey.
Arman: Heh. Nice trick, but it's just not gonna work.
Joe: Oh, yeah? You better hope so.
Referee: Ready, set!
3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!!!
Joe: And now Fortune's Trick!
Hanami: There it is! Judgement Joker is off! And Joker's movements look as unpredictable as ever!
Amy: Those fancy little movements won't fool us!
Hanami: Looks like Bushin Ashindra is heading in to take center stage!
Joe: Why am I not surprised. Now let's test my luck, shall we? Fate's Judgement!
Hanami: Oh! Three beys are sent flying!
Arman: Ashindra!!!
Amy: Astro!!!
Hanami: Will it be a simultaneous ring out finish?!
Amy: Don't let up!
Arman: Stay in!
Joe: I don't think so!
Hanami: Butter my biscuits! They all held on and are still in play!
Arman: (Sighs)
Amy: Close call.
Taka: That was a close one.
Joe: My, my. it appears luck is on all our sides. This is getting very interesting.
Amy: Yeah, even for you.
Dante: Is Joe really gonna leave it up to chance?
Ichika: Right? I mean, there was a chance he could've lost just now.
Fumiya: This guy is such a joke.
Joe: So... who do you think will be victorious?
Arman: (With those eradic movements, I can't take the center without a solid plan. Well, then....)
Amy: (Time to go on the offensive.)
Arman: Ashindra!
Amy: Astro!!!
Kusabas: Keep/Tower Counter!
Joe: I love games! Think I'll play along!
Joe: Joker Wheel!
Hanami: Judgement Joker makes good news of its Defense mode to parry Astro and Ashindra's attacks!
Arman: What the?!
Amy: How!?
Demi: (Gasps) So that's what he did!
Dante: So he was swappin' his setup!
Joe: It was crystal clear from the beginning that you would aim for a counterattack. After I learned everything about my opponent's bey, I go all-in. That's what I call a true gamble. Let's finish this. Judgement Joker!
Kusabas: Hurricane/Cosmic Defense!
Hanami: Wow! Hurricane and Cosmic Defense has been shattered! And without wasting time, Judgement Joker throws in a flurry of blows! Bushin Ashindra and Cosmic Astro just can't find a way to fight back!
Joe: Once your in control of the momentum, you can never let it go. That is an iron rule in the business of fate.
Arman: Stay strong, Ashindra. You'll get your chance soon enough.
Joe: Careful, you only make it worst if you overexert yourself, and it's better to quit while you're ahead.
Hanami: Its taking a ride on the upper deck!
Joe: IT'S TIME TO FOR US TO GO ALL-IN!!! JUDGEMENT JOKER!!!! (Summon avatar)
Taka: It sped up!
Dante: It's taking advantage of the stadiums incline!
Joe: NOW CHECK OUT JOKER FLUSH!!!
Kusabas: WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE!!! ASTRO/ASHINDRA!!!! (Summon avatars) BUSHIN GUARD/COSMIC CRUSH!!!!
Kusabas: (Gasps)
Victories: (Gasps)
Referee: It's Judgement Joker with a burst finish! With a score of 2-0 Joe Lazure wins!
Joe: What did I tell you? I only make bets on battles that I know I'm sure to win.
Dante: Arman.
Demi: Amy.
Taka: Oh, no.
The Koryus, Taka, and Ichika went to go check on them as Tango watched the Kusabas leave the stadium.
Fumiya: Joe Lazure. Amy and Arman were going to be mine, but if I can't have them, I'll crush Dante and Demi Koryu.
(With the Victories)
Demi: Arman! Amy!
(Arman punch the wall)
Taka: Are you ok?
Amy: What do you think?
Dante: Leave it to us, guys. I know exactly how you feel.
Kusabas: (Gasps)
Demi: We're members of the Victories too.
Amy: Demi. Dante.
Arman: How can you two know how we feel?
Demi: Because you guys have a little brother who looked up to you.
Arman: Eh? Whatever. I mean, I don't really care if you know how I feel or not.
Dante: Huh? What's that supposed to mean? Didn't you hear me just say that I'll be fighting for you, too?
Arman: Nobody ask you to do that!
Dante: You don't have to! I'm doin' it because I want to!
Arman: And I'm sayin' you don't need to do that!
Dante: What are you talking about?!
Arman: Open your ears, Dragon Boy!
Dante: Oh, so that's...
Amy: (Sighs and crosses her arms)
Ichika: Yup, and there they go again.
Demi: (Laughing)
Arman: Yeah, you bet it is!
Dante: Fine!
Tango: (You both gave everything you had in that battle for my sake. That's enough for me. Keep getting stronger, you two. You still have so much ahead of you.)
Hanami: All right, let's liven things up!In the second showdown...
Burst.
Hanami: Fumiya Kindo wins with a burst finish!
Burst.
Hanami: In the third match, Demi and Dante Koryu wins with a burst finish! And now to close out this round...
Burst.
Hanami: Lodin Haijima wins with a burst finish! We've got our final four, folks!
Taka: He won in a flash again.
Ichika: It's been like that since the first round. He doesn't let any of his opponents even get close.
Demi: I wonder what kind of Bey he has.
Fumiya: (Chuckles)
