Major Events
After the battle with Snakey, Tyson and the gang are pleased to see Kai, who is his usual taciturn self; he is introduced to Hilary, who he greets with a cold shoulder. Pleased to see his old friend and rival, especially so out of the blue, Tyson offers Kai to stay at his house, while the older boy is in town; despite not being overly enamored to the idea, Kai is pushed to agreeing, with Tyson's over keen temperament. He is reunited with Ryu Granger, Tyson's grandfather and guardian, and reminded of the old man's peculiar ways, before he and Tyson go to sleep for the night in the Dojo.

Tyson is woken up by a visit from Hilary and Kenny, only to discover that Kai is missing. Tyson's Grandfather informs the group that Kai left at the crack of dawn, with the message that he had gone to the beach; somewhat annoyed that Kai left before he even woken up, Tyson leads the group to the beach to follow Kai. After an hour's worth of searching, the trio find Kai practicing with Dranzer and some cans. Kai reveals to the others that he is a little troubled by his battle with Dunga, however, he's looking forward to the challenge of defeating him.

Later that day, Kenny sends a message to Judy Tate, Max's mother, asking for her assistance in analyzing the component inside Snakey's Magtram-enhanced beyblade. He hopes that her access to the supercomputers in her labs at the PPB, in America, will yield some answers that he is unable to turn up. Hilary suggests that the group talk to the BBA Chairperson, Mr Dickenson, in order to get some answers about what is going on with these strange beybladers. Although Tyson begins to argue, Kenny agrees, and the trio set off.

Gideon assembles a team, complete with Magtram-enhanced beyblades, to defeat the Bladebreakers. He sends Doctor B - one of his leading scientists, to bargain with Mr. Dickenson; he proposes that the Bladebreakers, despite their split after last year's world championships, are reunited to take on the newest team on the block, Team Psykick. Reluctant to do so, Mr Dickenson calls for a test battle against the BBA's test bladers.

Tyson, Kenny and Hilary arrive at the stadium in time to witness Daryl defeat the BBA test bladers, with little effort thanks to his Magtram. Kenny and Dizzi attempt to analyse Daryl's beyblade, and gather important information, which will later enable their manufacture of the MG Core. When Tyson demands to known what is going on, even attempting to Beybattle with Daryl before he knows the facts, Mr Dickenson begins his explanation - The Psykicks have requested a battle with the World Champions, the Bladebreakers. Tyson agrees that he would be happy to take on the competitors, but tells them the Bladebreakers have split, and gone their own way - without Kai, the team cannot go on.

Kai then enters the room, and excepts the challenge, having witnessed the battle from outside; the former Bladebreaker had been looking for a challenger that could give him a run for his money, and make the game more challenging for the veteran. When he sees Team Psykick play, he becomes intrigued enough to join the reunion. It is agreed that the battle will take place in a week's time.
