Summary
Daidouji arrives by a helicopter to the stadium where Kyoya Tategami and Gingka Hagane's fierce battle has just ended with Gingka as the victor. Gingka is surprised and recognizes Doji. Gingka begins to remember someone standing in a midst falling rocks and events surrounding that memory; he declares that he will not forgive them and readies his Beyblade but Doji puts him off. Doji expresses his disdain for Kyoya's loss saying he didn't get much training and that it was less than antiquate and launches Dark Wolf at Kyoya. Kyoya tries to defend himself but is unable to do so as his energy had already been spent on battling Gingka. Kyoya loses to Doji and gets badly beaten in the process. Benkei quickly rushed to him in worry while Gingka got angrier because of what the executive of Dark Nebula (Doji) did. Doji leaves, but not before Dark Wolf DF145FS breaks a support to a monument that sends it crashing down towards Madoka Amano and Kenta Yumiya. Benkei Hanawa rushes in front of it to protect them and is able to stop it. Meanwhile, Gingka disappears in pursuit of Doji. Kenta Osamu, Takashi and Akira search for Gingka but to no avail. They try to piece together what was going on as they've never seen Gingka filled with rage and anger. In the meantime, Kyoya awakens bandaged and disoriented. Benkei rushes in to greet Kyoya and Kyoya begins to remember the events of the past night. Madoka comes in happy to see Kyoya awake and brings him a fixed Rock Leone 145 WB and food. Kyoya is surprised by Madoka's kindness. Madoka explains and mentions Gingka's words of wisdom. Kyoya begrudgingly remembers but begins to respect it. He is also still puzzled over why they are being so nice to him after how he had treated them. Madoka lets him know about Benkei's devotion to him as well as common decency. Kyoya is still uncomfortable with it. Meanwhile, Kenta spots Gingka outside on his way back. Madoka and Benkei come out to join him as Gingka collapses from exhaustion. Gingka returns from his search and inquiries about Kyoya and wants to question him right away. But the others implore him to tell them what is going on. Gingka tries to keep them out of it, but they implore him to trust their friendship. Gingka then tells them that Doji has a forbidden Bey. He tells them about the Dark Nebula who are obsessed with using Beys for purposes other than Beybattling and that they broke the seal on a Bey that should not have been used -- Lightning L-Drago 100HF which houses an evil power. If L-Drago fully awakens, then something terrible will happen. Gingka reveals his mission has been to stop them and he's been traveling around the country battling to become strong enough to defeat them as Doji and the Dark Nebula are dangerous. Benkei pieces together the motivation why Doji wanted them to battle him. The friends want to help Gingka and Benkei even volunteers to ask Kyoya for any information himself. They rush to find Kyoya gone. Unbeknownst to the others, Kyoya, before leaving, had heard their exchange outside and is not quite sure whether to believe what he is hearing about the forbidden Bey. Gingka returns to the damaged stadium for clues. Madoka tells Kenta and Benkei that she's having no luck either turning anything up. Madoka rallies Kenta and Benkei and decides that they should split up and look for clues. Everyone helps. Kyoya watches from afar and is puzzled by how everyone is willingly going through all that trouble for Gingka. Night falls and the three meet back at the park with no luck whatsoever. Kyoya suddenly appears and tells them about the position of the moon and how long it took by plane when he was taken to Wolf Canyon from the Dark Nebula headquarters. He tells them his debt to them is repaid and disappears. Madoka and Kenta figure out what Kyoya meant and were able to figure out the location of Doji's base. They find Gingka and tell him the good news. Meanwhile at Dark Nebula headquarters, Merci gives the vitals on the unconscious person inside a pod. The person is recovering but will take some time before being able to regain consciousness. Doji inquires about the analysis on the data collected on Gingka; Merci informs him that they will complete the analysis soon. Merci alerts Doji of Gingka, Benkei, Kenta and Madoka's presence and then readies their security measures and tests. Ginkga tries to dissuade them from following but his friends refuse and say that they will help regrardless. They press forward but must get past a heavily fortified door. Then, multiple Beys start shooting from all directions. Benkei tries to break the door open but is unable to do so. Gingka launches his special move to open the door but then Beys shot from helicopters appear and stop the special move. All of a sudden, Kyoya launches Leone and uses his special move to scatter the Beys and destroy helicopters shooting Beys. Finally, Gingka, Benkei and Kenta launch their Beys into Leone's tornado to get extra power. Then they execute their special moves simultaneously and breaking down the steel door. The others ask why Kyoya came and helped them. Though not able to admit any kindness, he gruffly mentions he owes a bigger debt to Doji. However, the others are glad to have his help and support As they rush into the Dark Nebula Headquarters, the mysterious person inside the capsule begins to move.
