Summary

One day at the bey park Gingka is shown beating Osamu Takashi and Akira with a single swipe from Pegasus. All of Kenta's friends are amazed at his power. Kenta then brags how Gingka beat all the Face Hunters. In that moment the kids swam Gingka while a girl watches.

Kyoya Tategami trains with Benkei Hanawa and the Face Hunters, in order to become more powerful and defeat Gingka Hagane. He states that if he does not become stronger, there will be no way that he can defeat Gingka. He then mentions how awesome it is that a strong opponent has come after a very long time and beats the Face hunters. Kyoya then warns Gingka that with his Rock Leone 145 WB he will crush Gingka like a bug.

Meanwhile, Gingka and Kenta Yumiya are at the park chatting. Gingka states that since there are strong opponents here, he will stay with Kenta. Kenta gets overjoyed by this, but states that Gingka should be careful when battling Kyoya. Then, a girl looks at Gingka's Storm Pegasus 105 RF and feels sorry for it. She quickly scans it with her computer and finds Pegasus has scratches and is in need of repair. She tells Gingka that he should take really good care of his Bey and tells the two to follow her. They go to her dad's shop, the "B-Pit" and go to her basement where she works. She introduces herself as Madoka Amano and states that she will repair Gingka's Pegasus. At first, Gingka does not think she should repair it, but since it has battle scars, he agrees. He then decides to stay with Madoka until Pegasus is finished.

The next day while Kenta is walking, he is confronted again by the Face Hunters. They steal Kenta's Flame Sagittario C145 S and tell Kenta to tell Gingka to come to their headquarters, "Metal Tower" if Kenta wants his Sagittario back. Kenta runs to Gingka and tells him how the Face Hunters stole his Sagittario. Gingka goes with him to the B-Pit, but his Pegasus is not yet completely repaired. Despite this, he goes to Metal Tower.

There he finds Kyoya and his Face Hunters. He tells Gingka that if he loses in this battle, Benkei will drop Kenta's Sagittario and it will be broken into pieces. Gingka knows he cannot let this happen and battles him with the risk of his Pegasus shattering.

As they battle, Gingka learns that as he attacks Kyoya's Rock Leone 145 WB, it does not affect it. Madoka tells Gingka that due to the wind current of where they are battling at the top of the tower, it makes Leone create an invisible wall as it spins blocking any attack to Leone. Due to this, Pegasus gets sent flying up through the sky. Although Kyoya knows the battle is over, Gingka tells him it's not over. As Pegasus comes flying down, striking in Leone's weak spot: the top, using his special move, Starblast Attack. This decides it and Kyoya is surprised at how he lost and Kenta goes and gets Sagittario back.

Later, Kyoya gets angry at himself for losing and blames it on his Face Hunters. However, a mysterious man named Doji confronts them and tells Kyoya that he can help him defeat Gingka.

Gingka, Kenta, and Madoka are later walking in the park. Madoka forces Gingka to apologize to his Pegasus for making it battle when it still needed repairs. After this, everything is alright.

Ginga VS Kyoya

Benkei had taken Kenta's Flame Sagittario in order to get Ginga to battle with Kyoya. The battle takes place on top of Metal Tower.
