The year is 2050, and little fighting robots known as LBX are all the craze. A tournament known as Artemis is held to determine whom the best fighter is. This year Yamano Ban, Aoshima Kazuya, and Kawamura Ami are in the tournament with their LBX's. After the trio pulls off a shocking victory in the first round Ban thinks back to how he met his robot earlier that year. Ban has loved LBX's all his life. His father created them and early on showed Ban how to love and care for them. However his father went missing 8 years earlier when Plane PA027 went missing on its way to the Neo Technology Summit. No wreckage was ever found, but Ban's mom has not allowed him to play with an LBX since then at home. It all changes when a mysterious lady breaks out of the Innovator base and finds Ban, She gives him a case that he takes home. When Ban opens the case at home he finds a LBX inside. Before he can activate it a laser scans him. Outside 3 Innovator spies reveal this LBX has a Death Lock inside it and if an uncertified user picks it up it will kill that person with a poisonous dart. Ban ends up being the certified user, so the three spies attack him with their Dequoo LBX's. Ban is chased behind the couch by a Dequoo with a gun, and the other two attempt to chop up his LBX until he gets it activated. Once activated Ban is able to dispose of the three Dequoo's, but it leaves the entertainment room in shambles. His mom arrives home and says it is ok for him to keep the LBX, but first he needs to clean the room up. She then goes outside and thinks to herself that something big is about to happen. | |||

|
Ban takes the AX-00 to the Kitajima Model Shop where he meets with Ami. He tells Kitijama, Saki, and Ami the story of how he got the LBX. At the Innovators base Yagami finds out why the Professor sent Ban the LBX. He learns AX-00 is protecting an item known as the Platinum Capsule. If anyone other than Ban were to try and grab AX-00, not only would they die from the poisonous dart, but the death lock system would also self destruct and destroy the Platinum Capsule. The only way to regain this would be by defeating AX-00 in a LBX battle. Over at Tiny Orbit the board asks the director Uzaki Yuusuke why he built the unauthorized Achilles form. He reveals the specs and points out that this design is more advanced than anything they've ever had before, and it will make them millions. He goes back to his office where he receives another blueprint for a LBX to be called Hunter. He signs his name J. Back at Kitajima's Kitajima decides to give Ban the Achilles armor, but he is disappointed to learn that Saki has sold it, until he learns the cash card is fake. If Ban can find Gouda Honza and defeat him he can use the Achilles armor for free. Ban heads to school with Ami and shows Kazu his new LBX. He then asks Kazu if he knows anything about Gouda. Kazu reveals Gouda uses a LBX known as the Destruction God of Hell and he is one of the Four Devas. Kazu refuses to tell them where Gouda is and leaves before ban can pressure him into giving up more details. After school Ban and Ami recruit the help of Ryuu and go looking for Gouda's base. Mika ends up telling them where it is. Once they arrive at the base Ban, Amy, and Ryuu meet the other three Divas and their LBX's- Riko with Queen, Tetsuo with Nazu, and Ginji with Mad Dog. The trio refuse to give up Gouda's location unless these 3 can beat them in a LBX battle. When AX-00 begins predicting his opponents moves Ban gains a slight advantage. That advantage quickly fails with Ryuu's Buld is destroyed by Queen's gun fire and rockets. Ryuu withdraws, and just before AX-00 is destroyed Kazu makes the save with Warrior. With Kazu's added strength Ban is able to destroy the three LBX's, with an assist from a magnetic charge by Warrior. After repairing their LBX's the three enter a nearby door and meet Gouda face-to-face. | |||

Gouda returns the Achilles frame to Ban and reveals he was told to take it to keep it out of the hands of dangerous organizations on unsmart kids. He then challenges Ban, Kazu, and Ami to a 3-on-1 battle against his Hakai-O, AKA the Destruction God of Hell. Kunoichi is customized for speed while Warrior and Achilles are customized for short distance shooting. The three also come up with a strategy to take down Hakai-O using hit-and-run tactics. The plan backfires on them when Hakai-O uses his Gaou Cannon to create a smokescreen. Hakai-O then moves in on Warrior and crushes him. The second time Hakai-O uses his Gaou cannon Kazu realizes that Hakai-O temporarily goes offline because of the amount of power that it uses. After the third attack he tells Ban and Ami the news, and on the fourth attack Ban is able to grab Warrior's gun and take out the Gaou Cannon before moving in and knocking him out of commission. Gouda keeps his word and lets them keep the Achilles frame. At the Innovators headquarters Yagami is on the phone and tells them not to worry about Achilles being completed. He has come up with a plan to destroy Achilles in a LBX battle, and he creates a new dangerous LBX to do the dirty work. | |||

|
The episode begins at the Blue Cat coffee shop where two men are discussing Ban and Achilles. These men seem to want to use Achilles for a secret mission, but they do not know if Ban will be ready yet. Ban rushes to school after being unable to get sleep the night before. Him and Ami agree to battle at Kitajima's after school, but first they want to check on Kazu and see if he has gotten over his LBX being destroyed. Ryu ends up claiming he is the one who defeated Gouda and gets hero worship from all the kids, but his speech backfires on him and forces him to hide after school when they ask him to defeat Gouda and get their LBX's back from them. Over at the Innovators base Yagami has finished construction on a new LBX that he believes will win him the Platinum Capsule. He dispatches a task force to make sure it can target Achilles. Ban and Ami head to Kitajima's and find Kazu is not there. Kazu is at a nearby mall reading the newest LBX magazine and wishing he had enough allowance to buy a new LBX. A man in a dark alleyway offers to sale him a LBX real cheap and presents to him Egypt. Egypt hypnotizes Kazu and tells him to destroy Achilles. Kazu leaves the shop table, and the man selling the LBX's is revealed to be one of the Innovator agents. Kazu finds Ban and Ami after Ban has left Kitajima's and challenges him to a battle. Kazu throws out a D-cube and Egypt. the D-cube brings up a desert setting. The Innovators agents watch the match from across the river while one of the men from Blue Cat's watches from the roadway. They see Achilles is slow to move in the sand, giving Egypt a huge advantage, but before Egypt can destroy Achilles a special mode, V-Mode is activated. The one thing Ban does not like- when Achilles is in V Mode he cannot control him. Achilles destroys Egypt and breaks Kazu out of the hypnosis. The agents retreat while the man marvels that Achilles has such a special mode on hand. Afterwards the trio return to Kitajima's where Kitajima has customized a Gladiator for Kazu to use until Kazu can buy a new LBX. | |||

Dr. Kaidō hopes to eliminate the prime minister Zaizen Sousuke. In order to do so he hires a professional hit man and creates a new LBX known as Assassin for him to use. The hit man shows he has incredible aim in an exhibition and proves he can take a target out from a long distance. Over at Blue Cats coffee Hizami learns of the assassination attempt. He is given a letter that says use the kids with the white LBX to prevent the attack. He is also given a new LBX to help in the mission. Hizami sends Uzaki Takuya to get Ban, Ami, and Kazu from Kitajima's. He takes them back to Blue Cat's where they show the kids the new LBX Hunter and praise Achilles maintenance. Takuya then reveals he did not get them just to show them the new LBX. Instead he hopes they'll help prevent the assassination. If they agree Kazu will be given Hunter at no charge. The kids agree and head home to practice. Kazu focuses specifically on his long range shooting, but despite calibrating the gun and doing some maintenance to Hunter he cannot seem to hit the bullseye. The next day Kazu thinks of pulling out until Ban gives a speech reminding him how LBX's should be fun but that they an lose them all if this attack succeeds. Kazu agrees to go if he can practice some more first, but when they enter Blue Cat's Hizami receives a call saying Zaizen Sousuke's induction parade has been moved up. If they do not leave now there will be no way to stop the attack. The group reluctantly leaves wishing only that they had more time. | |||

The group arrives at the route where Prime Minister Zaizen's parade will take place. Kazu spends a few minutes recalibrating Hunter's sniping gun while Ban and Ami investigate the beginning and middle of the route. Ban learns there is a glass building at the middle of the route, and Ami and Kazu are dispatched to his location. Kazu uses Hunter to scan the building on the other side of the glass, and they find what appears to be Assassin. The three infiltrate the building and run into the 3 Dequoo's that tried to kidnap Achilles in episode 1. Achilles and Kunoichi distract the Buld's while Kazu and Hunter run up the building and take out Assassin. Only when they arrive they find out Assassin is a dummy. After destroying the Dequoo's Ami and Ban go up, and Ban sees another building nearby with a helipad on it. Once again Kazu uses Hunter's sites to zoom in, and once again Assassin is present. In order for Ban and Ami to make it to the building in time Kazu must use Hunter's high aiming specs to distract Assassin. Kazu gets off three shots, two of which cause smoke and hit Assassin. Assassin retaliates by trying to take out Hunter, but Kazu is able to get him to safety. Amy and Ban make it to the building in time and use their speed to take out Assassin. With Assassin down the professional hit man activates Assassin's self destruct and leaves from another nearby building. As Ami, Ban, and Kazu reunite with Takuya Ban asks Takuya why it had to be them that did this mission.

Takuya takes the kids back to Blue Cats where he reveals that the entire plane, except Professor Yamano, agreed to go with the Innovators 5 years earlier. Their goal was to create an endless supply of energy known as the Eternal Cycler. However Professor Yamano realized it could be used as a weapon and decided to hide the plans inside the Platinum Capsule. Ban asks Takuya and Hizami if they know where his father is being held at, and they say no. Ban and Kazu return home, but Ami stays behind to do a little snooping. Meanwhile Yagamai asks Doctor Kaidō if he was responsible for the Assassin incident since Assassin was made from their specs. With Kunoichi's recording mode she finds out Professor Yamano is being held at a place called Angel Star. Ryuu explains that Angel Star is owned by Kamiya Craft and that it is the largest weapon manufacture in Japan. He also tells them they have been investigated for making secret weapons, though he believes they are innocent. Ban, Kazu, and Ami decide to investigate the building anyway. At Angel Star we are introduced to Heiji Kirishima. Kirishima originally created the boxes that house the LBX battles, but he later lost the licensing right to Tiny Orbit. As a result he now works overtime almost daily for Kamiya Craft hoping to restart his business. Ban uses Achilles to hold the door open at Angel Star, and Ban, Ami, and Kazu enter the building. The cameras quickly catch them, and a squadron of Dequoo R LBX's are sent to try and stop them. Achilles, Hunter, and Kunoichi wipe out the Dequoo R's and continue to investigate further through the air ducts where they find a new security LBC named Inbit blocking the way. | |||

Ban, Ami, and Kazu run into Inbit in the air ducts. When Inbit refuses to follow them around the corner Ban realizes Inbit must be an AI LBX. Achilles and Kunoichi distract Inbit while Achilles takes out his camera lenses, allowing Ban and his friends to win the battle. Kamiya sees what Ban has done and decides to come up with a new strategy. He has Dequoo R's continue to distract Ban and his friends in the air ducts while he goes and gets Kirishima. He takes Kirishima out of the control, but not before having Yagami plant a false location for Professor Yamano in the control room. Kagami then tells Kirishima that Tiny Orbit has sent Achilles in to steal their most confidential data. He is promised if he can destroy Achilles that he will be given the finds to restart his company. In the control room Ban and his friends find a hidden elevator and take it to the lowest floor. Meanwhile Yagami goes to Professor Yamano's room and gets ready to move him. When Ban and his friends make it to the lowest floor they get locked in a secret manufacturing plant. Kirishima comes out controlling the deadly tractor known as The Steel Monster Ijitesu. Kirishima scares Ban and his friends enough where they must send out their LBX's. Kirishima gets one hit on Achilles and knocks his controls loose. Kirishima aims the tractor at Achilles with one goal, running over him to win back his company. | |||

Achilles manages to dodge the Steel Monster before being run over. At Blue Cats Takuya and Hazami pull up computer readings and see that Achilles, Kunoichi, and Hunter are involved in battle. Takuya runs a computer scan and sees they are at Angel Star, so the two depart immediately to rescue them. The Steel Monster quickly shows how it got its name. The tractor is enforced with heavy armor that the LBX's cannot penetrate. It is also possessed with a laser eye system. Hunter accidentally shoots a cloth down over the camera of the Steel Monster, and Ban realizes that camera is the Achilles heel. The three change their targeting strategy to the camera, and when they take out the camera Kirishima switches to manual view. Manual view at least slows down the Steel Monsters response time. A mysterious silver colored LBX then appears. It distracts the Steel Monster and points out the large crate above it. Hunter switches his target to the crate, which comes down and crushes the Steel Monster. Kirishima escapes unharmed. Ban is then told over the Loud Speaker that Professor Yamano has been removed and the only way he can get more information is by winning Angrivisdas. An escape hatch opens revealing Hazami and Gouda. The two lead Ban, Ami, and Kazu out safely before taking them back to Blue Cats. Once back at Blue Cats Hazami reveal they are back to square one, though this time they really have no idea where he is being kept. | |||

Ryuu overhears his teacher and the principal saying an exchange student is coming in, so he runs and tells the entire class. When the teacher comes in and tries to take attendance Ryuu asks her about the exchange student. She admits they are supposed to get one that day, but he has not arrived yet. A jet fighter then flies up to the school. A boy climbs out of the jet fighter and into Ban's class. It is the exchange student. He introduces himself as Kaidō Jin and says he has nothing else to tell the class. When Ryuu asks him about LBX's later on he ignores him. Instead of trying to make friends Ban, Ami, and Kazu head for Blue Cats. Hazami tells them Angrivisdas is an unsanctioned tournament with no regulations. This year however the winner will receive permission to enter Artemis, the contest that determines the best LBX player in the world. Takuya takes the group to a secret door in Blue Cats that leads down to Angrivisdas and lets them watch how the fights are. To their surprise none other than Jin is in the arena, and he easily crushes his competition. As he leaves the crowd yells that they hope his The Emperor gets crushed during Angrivisdas. Ban and his friends head to Kitijima's where Kitijima trains the three on increasing speed with a newly customized Gladiator. It takes a full week, but Ban is finally able to defeat Gladiator. As a reward Kitijima rewards Ban with the new Sigma D chip, a chip made to increase LBX's speed. As Ban and his friends prepare to leave none other than the Four Devas appear. They block Kitijima's shop entrance and have been told to take Ban and his friends to visit Gouda and to not take no for an answer. | |||

|
While leading Ban and his friends to where Gouda is the Innovators agents ambush Ban and company. At first the group decides to walk away from them, but they tease him with the knowledge that they might know where his father is being held. Ban agrees to battle them, but they say they will only reveal where his father is being held if he can beat them 3-on-1. Ban and Achilles battle the Innovators Dequoo's. During the battle Ban learns his first finishing move, Lightning Lance, and is able to overpower them. The Innovators agents retreat without telling Ban anything, and the Four Devas remember how Gouda revealed to them that they would soon be fighting the Innovators. Afterwards the group goes into a nearby arcade where they find Gouda has lost in a LBX battle to one Sendou Daiki and his LBX Joker. Gouda is about to hand over all his territory to Daiki when he realizes there is a catch. Daiki can only claim Gouda's territory if he is the first one to defeat him. That honor went to Ban. Now the only way Daiki can claim the territory is by defeating Ban in battle. Ban and Achilles battle Daiki and Joker, but Ban relies to much on his finishing move, Lightning Lance. As a result Achilles is slow and cannot hit Joker. Daiki begins to use Joker's speed and causes what appears to be clones to appear. Before Joker can finish Achilles though the Emperor intervenes. Jin says they should finish their battle at Angrivisdas since they are both competing, and Daiki agrees. Ban is given a list of everyone competing in Angrivisdas by Gouda. He takes this list back to Kitijima's where Ami, Kazu, and Ban come up with strategies to defeat each competitor. As time runs out the group heads to Angrivisdas. Welcoming everyone to Angrivisdas is none other than the legendary LBX fighter Lex. Lex announces that each LBX battle will be unlimited regulation, meaning anything goes. When Lex finally turns toward Ban we see it is none other than Hazami. After the intro the tournament officially begins, and Ban meets his first opponent. | |||

|
Angrivisdas begins and Ban battles Head Hunter Gatoh and his Buld. Gatoh seems to dominate the pace with his rocket launcher, forcing Ban to continually dodge and run around in circles. Eventually Kazu reminds Ban that he needs to turn the battle in his favor through pace. Ban charges straight at the Buld and begins getting in multiple hits. Gatoh decides to cheat and use a stun grenade. With Achilles stunned Gatoh breaks out an axe and chops at Achilles shield. The axe has gun powder hidden in it and sends Achilles flying. The shield falls to the side and allows Gatoh free access to Achilles right arm. He begins attacking Achilles right arm continually, hoping to chop it off. When stun wears off Achilles is able to dodge again, but he loses his right arm in the process. Once again Ban is forced to dodge, but while he's dodging he's moving in closer. Ban decides to use his shield to block one of Buld's missile launches, and in the process he learns Sword Cyclone. Achilles tosses his shield aside and picks up the sword. He uses sword cyclone and advances to the semifinals with the win, thanks to his second round opponents eliminating each other at the same time. Afterwards Kazu, Ami, and Jin all advance with victories. The quarterfinals begin and Kazu and Daiki advance, setting up a Daiki vs. Ban semifinal match. Afterwards Ami tries to move in quickly and strike Emperor in the legs, where she thinks he is vulnerable, but Jin dodges the attack and finishes off Kunoichi in one strike. | |||
| 13 | "Joker: The Attack of the Evil Clones" Transliteration: "Jōkā Ma no Bunshin Kōgeki" (Japanese: ジョーカー 魔の分身攻撃) | May 25, 2011[5] | |
|
Gouda brings down his Haki-O's right arm and has Achilles use it during the semifinal match vs. Daiki. At first Daiki seems like he dodges every attack with ease. He quickly reveals that while Achilles has more strength with Hakai-O's arm, he has also left himself highly vulnerable because he is off balance. Ban tries to correct this by turning the lance into a battering club, but Daiki continues to have Joker dodge and cast his mirage again. With 3 Joker's on the field Ban begins to take hit after hit and seems to be losing with ease. Ban tries to create a smokescreen to see which Joker is real, but they still manage to come at him from two sides. Achilles gets knocked down to 25% power and once again enters V-Mode. With V-Mode active Achilles once again gains strength and begins to bludgeon the Joker's with ease. One of the hits reveals that there is not 1 Joker on the field. Instead there are three. However Ban cannot control V-Mode, Daiki realizes that V-Mode runs on a computer controlled AI attack pattern and begins to dodge the attacks and get hits on Achilles. Just then Ban receives a message from the stands. A man has appeared in the stands with the white LBX that saved them at Angel Star. The LBX's name is Pandora. It sends Ban a code, and Ban gains control of V-Mode. Takuya also sees the man and runs towards him, seemingly recognizing him from some other place. Despite Ban having gained control of V-Mode, his power has drifted to less than 10%. Joker only needs one hit to finish Achilles off. While still in V-Mode Ban remembers The Emperors beheading of 3 LBX's at one point in the arena and realizes he can use the same strategy. Achilles runs to a cliff wall that's a dead end. Daiki thinks it's so his LBX's will face Achilles one-on-one and sends them into the air so they can attack at one. Realizing his plan has worked Ban runs underneath the Joker's and releases a Lightning Lance when they are lined up as one. The Lightning Lance destroys all 3 Joker's and sends Ban to the finals, right as V-Mode wears off. After the match Ban asks Daiki is he was the spy, and Daiki says he works only for himself. Takuya arrives where the man was in the stands, but the man has disappeared. Takuya says he would not let this mystery man get in his way and ruin his plans. As Daiki leaves Gouda tells Ban good job but says he cannot fight in the finals that way. He supplies Ban with the right arm of Achilles, fully repaired. Up next Kazu faces Emperor and Jin in the second semi-final. Kazu realizes The Emperor has more speed and strength than him, so he gets distance and tries to take out The Emperor with long-range shots. The Emperor dodges the attacks and forces Kazu to use Hunter's Stinger Missile attack. The attack merely causes a smokescreen for The Emperor, and The Emperor gets one quick ax strike to the neck of Hunter finishing off Hunter. The final has been set. Ban will battle Jin for the right to move on to Artemis as the champion of Angrivisdas. | |||

Ami realizes that since they did not know who the Innovators spy was, there was a good chance it was Jin. A recap of the fights and the LBX's being used in the final is shown. Then Jin and Ban get ready to begin their battle. Jin promises to tell Ban the coordinates of where his father is at if he can beat him. Ban does not waste anytime time. He attacks head on, but The Emperor dodges most of his attacks. Ban decides to use Lightning Lance to force The Emperor to attack. Once The Emperor jumps into the air Ban activates Achilles V-Mode and does some serious damage, or so he thinks. In reality The Emperor suffers about 20% damage, and Jin decides to reveal his true strength. The Emperors eyes go from black to white to a blood red. His speed increases, and no one can keep up with Jin's hand control movements. Jin uses his finisher, Impact Kasier, to bury Achilles, but Achilles manage to dig his way out and starts blocking all of The Emperors hands on attacks. Jin continues to increase the speed of his commands, and it eventually burns out the control chip inside The Emperor. With The Emperor's functions ceased Ban and Achilles are declared the winners. Jin tells Ban Professor Yamano is located at coordinates 579–934. After everyone clears out the group returns to Blue Cats where Lex enters the coordinates and finds out it's the mansion of Kaidō Yoshmitsu. Takuya reveals that Yoshimitsu is the head of the Innovators, but no one is sure how they can infiltrate until the mysterious woman from episode 1 reappears. Her name is Rina. She is revealed to be Professor Yamano's assistant, and she just happens to have data on the Kaidō's mansion that they can use if they let her work with them. | |||

After bringing them info on Kaidō's mansion, Rina asks if there is any place they can decipher it. Lex decides to take all of them to a location the kids will recognize but that will take on a new meaning when they arrive. At first Gouda says Ban, Ami, and Kazu should not be taken to that location yet, but Takuya reminds him they will likely need all of their bases. In the van on the way to the location Lex reveals that Rina, Takuya and himself were all part of the Tiny Orbit R&D team that created LBX's, and all 3 of them were Professor Yamano's assistants. However Rina, Professor Yamano, and himself were taken by the Innovators five years earlier. One year before Lex met Ban Professor Yamano realized what the Innovators planned on using the Eternal Cycler for and tried to escape. Only Lex was able to escape. The kids recognize Tokio SIA, a major mall that they are approaching, but when they arrive Lex takes them into a secret elevator shaft that goes under the mall. The kids are introduced to The Seekers, an anti-terrorist organization that is set up beneath Tokio SIA. When they get to the base they find out that the Four Devas, Mika, and Ryuu have also all been recruited by the Seekers. The Seekers decrypt the data on Kaidō's mansion and decide to infiltrate with three teams. Team 1 will be Ban, Ami, and Kazu. Team 2 will be Lex, Rina, and Takuya. Team 3 will be Gouda, Mika, and Ryuu. The rest of the Four Devas are to be held in reserve at Tokio SIA in case something goes wrong. The groups then head to Kaidō's mansion to try and save Professor Yamano. | |||

Rina opens up a secret passage that leads to the yard of the Kaidō's. After they arrive in the yard, the Seekers groups breaks into sets of 3 to infiltrate the house. Lex, Rina, and Takuya head to the control center to open the door while the other two groups await to get in. Rina lets them in, and they decide to go to different ways hoping that one of the two groups can make it to the room Professor Yamano is supposedly being held in. As Ban, Kazu, and Ami travel they are seen by security and pursued. Just before they are to be captured when Kazu decides to tackle them down a set of stairs. Instead of being captured they roll into a secret entrance into the bedroom of Jin. Jin challenges Van to a rematch with his new LBX, the Emperor Mark 2. When the Emperor Mark 2 and Achilles both use their finishers, they knock each other temporarily unconscious. Jin is shocked that he cannot seem to defeat Ban, even with a new computer processor. Ban and his friends are able to leave Jin's room and arrive at the room Professor Yamano is supposed to be held in. When they arrive Van calls out for his father, and instead of his father Yosihmitsu appears. Yoshmitsu says if the group can manage to defeat his LBX he will give up Professor Yamano once and for all. A 3-on-1 battle is held, and Yoshimitsu wins with ease.. | |||

After Yoshmitisu's LBX Gekkōmaru defeats Achillies, Hunter, and Kunomichi, Ban holds on to the hope that one of the other groups can arrive and defeat Yoshimitsu. That hope is quickly dashed as Yoshmitsu has the other teams brought in and reveals they have also been captured. Finally he has Professor Yamano brought in. Professor Yamano is mad at Lex because he had told Lex not to come back. Takuya manages to slip his guard and takes Yoshimitsu hostage, or so he thinks. Rina grabs a gun and makes everyone think she is helping Takuya until she points it at his back, forcing him to let Yoshimitsu go. When asked why Rina reveals that Yoshmitisu is the only man who can allow a certain medical procedure to be used. She needs this medical procedure to save her sisters live. Just as Yoshmitisu is about to have everyone killed Professor Yamano laughs and reveals that even if Yoshimitsu has Achilles, it does him no good. The decoder for the Platinum Capsule has been hidden as the prize for the Artemis Tournament, The only way to use its technology is to have both together at the same time.

There is one month left until Artemis starts. Ban, Kazu, and Ami decide they will enter Artemis to keep the Innovators from gaining the Metanus GX. However Blue Cats coffee is closed, so they move their training to Kitajima's and to Gouda's hideout. Ban, Kazu, and Ami practice as often as possible and against as many players as possible leveling up their battle skills as well as fine tuning their best moves. Maintenance is done daily to their LBX's to keep them also in top fighting shape. At school it is announced that Jin has had to transfer to another school, and at a secret lab we see Yoshimitsu continue to experiment on the mysterious young man. With roughly a week left until Artemis begins Ban gets a message from Lex. Lex has him meet in a secret location where he teaches him a new finisher Super Plasma Burst. The new finisher should allow him to defeat the top class fighters, but it is to only be used when the timing is right. Gouda reveals that he is entering Artemis as Lex's battle partner, meaning The Seekers will have two teams competing for the prize. The day of the tournament finally arrives. Ban, Ami, and Kazu make their way to Artemis stadium. Ryuu comes to Artemis Stadium with a special banner he has made for the occasion. At the stadium the group sees many of the world's best champions arriving. They also run into some familiar faces in Daiki and Jin, and they see the mysterious boy climb out of the car. For some unknown reason the mysterious boy begins to follow Jin when Jin is not looking. Eventually Jin confronts him and learns his name is Yuuya Haibara. The name seems familiar to Jin, but he cannot place where it is from. The episode ends with the Artemis Opening Ceremonies. | |||

Artemis officially gets underway with Block A. 16 teams make up each group, with 5 groups total competing. In Group A Lex and his G Rex are teamed up with Gouda and his Hakai-O while Jim competes with Emperor M2. The mysterious Yuuya is watching the matches from his room and looks like he is absorbing the data, similar to what a LBX does. Jin continues t dominate with his split second killing while Lex and Gouda merely overpower the competition. The two teams make it through the first two matches and end up meeting in the semifinals. Looking for a split second kill Jin uses Impact Kasier, but G-Rex stops it with his fists. Gouda begins attacking The Emperor M2 full throttle, but once again Jin seems to be able to dodge everything. Lex uses his GRex's finishing function on The Emperor G2 to cause some serious damage, but the Emperor M2 quickly rebounds and slices Gouda's Hakai-O in half to eliminate him. G-Rex has a shot at a quick attack to finish The Emperor M2, but for some unknown reason Lex hesitates and Jin gets the win. After the match Lex goes outside and tells someone on a phone call that everything is going according to their plan. Over at Tiny Corp Takuya decides to return and confront his brother Yuuya. He reveals that Yuuya is the man that was in the stands at Angrivisdas with Pandora. He asks Yuuya to help him restore the seekers so they can get revenge for their father. Apparently Yoshimitsu is responsible for the series of events that led to his death, but what those events are is untold. Yuuya refuses saying they cannot use Tiny Corp's resources to hel them get revenge, but that does not mean there are not other ways they can do so. Back at Artemis Jin easily wins the Block A final to move to the Battle Royal. Block B begins where we are introduced to Masked J and his LBX Masquerade J, who have entered solo. In the first match of B Block Masquerade J displays amazing agility and stabs his opponents LBX's in the neck to allow him to advance to the quarterfinals of Block B. Ban is amazed by Masquerade J's moves, but he thinks Masked J looks familiar. | |||

The B Block Finals begin as Masked J battles one Shou Kanzaki and his Gladiator who have finished off all their opponents in less than a minute. At first Shou and Gladiator make hit after hit on Masquerade and appear to have an overwhelming advantage. It has all been a trick though. Masked J was merely getting the timing of Gladiator's attacks. He begins to dodge attack after attack and when Gladiator gets cornered he finishes him with Storm Sword. After the match Masked J tells Shou he needs to start focusing on his defense and stop acting so immature. The C-block contestants include Ban, Kazu, and Ami. They are called to head for the waiting rooms. In the waiting room they meet John & Paul, the North American champions. Ban tries to wish them good luck in the upcoming match, but John & Paul refuse to acknowledge him, making Ami upset. John & Paul decide they want to finish the match before it begins, but Asia Area Champion Morigami Keita and his Warrior break it up and tell them to settle it in their opening match. Ban thanks Keita and they become quick friends. Keita and his teammates Nakabayashi Reina (w/ Amazonese) and Kunoshita Kouji (w/ Buld) let Ban and his teammates see the specs on all their LBX's, as long as they get to do the same for Achilles, Hunter, and Kunoichi. Shortly after the first matches are called. Ami wants to fight the North American champions because of their feud in the back, but she feels Achilles & Hunter provide the best chance for them to move on. John & Paul launch their Orteha & Titan into the ring, and we see the match that opens the series. Of course Ban and his team prevail, and we see quick snippets of their quarter and semi matches. In the C-Block final Ban and his friends face off with Keita and his crew. They open up with a series on head-to-head matches that make the teams appear even. However Hunter gets tricked into a trap, and Achilles and Kunoichi get damaged when they move in and save Hunter. | |||

With Achilles and Kunoichi damaged, Keita and Reina move in to try and finish them. Hunter uses his stinger missile though and causes a smokescreen, allowing them to escape. Ami comes up with a plan, and the group heads towards the middle of the Industrial Zone. Keita group follows at a slower pace, and eventually they get flanked by Hunter and Kunoichi. Keita thinks it is a move solely to keep him from attacking Achilles and heads to a corner where he sees Achillies shield. It ends up being a laid trap. The shield is all that's there, and Hunter has moved into sniping position. Hunter targets Warrior, but Buld jumps in the way and is eliminated. Next Hunter provides supporting fire aimed at Warrior that allows Ban to move in. Amazonese decides to target Hunter, which allows Kunoishi to come out and target Warrior 2-on-1. Amazonese has a major speed advantage over Hunter, but Hunter is able to perform the same type of kick that Ban used to send John's Ortega flying in the previous episode. With Amazonese stuck in the air Hunter is able to use his pin point targeting and eliminate her. Hunter then moves down to join Achilles and Kunoichi in a 3-on-1 assault. Keita realizes if the attack hits he'll be finished, and he launches his finishing move Trident. It hits all of Team Ban's members, and while Achilles shield absorbs the damage Kunoichi and Hunter take the attack head-on and are eliminated. The battle becomes 1-on-1, and Warrior has a major speed advantage thanks to Achilles damaged leg. Ban switches over to his energy gauge, and after he has absorbed enough attacks and thrust enough spears at Warrior he is able to release his new finisher Super Plasma Burst to gain the victory. Keita's team congratulates Ban on his efforts and moving on to the finals in a real sign of sportsmanship. Ban and his friends then go to get their LBX's repaired while D Block begins. Daiki advances throughout D Block to the finals with ease. On the other side a solo entry known as Yujin advances to the finals. Yujin is known to be one of Otacross's disciples, but he insists on fighting the LBX battles as OtaRed, a defender of justice, Daiki scoffs at him and thinks his Joker Mk 2 will get an easy victory to advance to the Battle Royale just before the final battle begins. | |||

Daiki battles Yujin in the Block D Finals. Most people think Daiki will get an easy victory thanks to his overwhelming speed and the 3-on01 advantage, but Yujin convinces Daiki to face him one-on-one instead. Afterwards Block F gets underway. The mysterious player Yuuya Haibara does not appear to have a lot of skills, but he keeps getting victories and advances to the Block F finals. Jin and Ban both realize Yuuya looks like he is going through a series of tests instead of fighting seriously, and when Yuuya advances to the Block F finals it becomes quite obvious his victories, which have been less than impressive, were all merely a series of tests. What's even more disturbing is the lack of communication from Yuuya. As Yuuya advances from Block F, a 30-minute intermission is held so the five finalists can all get their LBX's in tip-top shape for the upcoming battle royale. | |||

The finals begin with an all-out battle royal. Ban and Jin target each other from the start, but when Yujin also gets involved and hits Ban a few times he realizes he cannot target just one opponent if he is to have any chance at victory. The five finalist continue to go blow-by-blow until Yujin and Yuuya are seen attacking The Emperor Mk 2 and Masquerade J is seen attacking Achilles. While Masquerade J is attacking Achilles a file is transferred over to Achilles with a note, you'll need this in the future. Shortly before the file is completed the Innovators activate a special mode of Yuuya's control suit. The special mode ends up taking over Yuuya's brain and sends him on a rampage. He destroys Masquerade J and Bibinbird X, eliminating Masked J and Yujin from the competition. When his two teammates decide to run from the scene Jin realizes the only way to save Yuuya is by doing his LBX. Ban and Jin set aside their differences and team up together. Emperor Mk 2 causes a smokescreen while Achilles performs his Lightning Lance finisher, eliminating Judge and freeing Yuuya from the suits control. Yuuya collapses, so the competition is halted while he receives medical attention. Ban questions Jin on what the relation is between Yuuya and Jin, but Jin refuses to answer and announces it is time for their final battle to commence. | |||

The Emperor Mk 2 has an overwhelming speed advantage, and when Achilles shield gets knocked into the lava lake it looks like things will be over for Achilles.

Achilles and Ban are declared the winners of Artemis. However The Emperor Mk 2 rises again. Jin loses all control of his machine, and Emperor Mk 2 grabs onto Achilles before self destructing. Achilles is destroyed. After everyone sees Achilles destroyed the power to the building is cut.

Three days have past since Artemis ended. We learn that four guards were killed watching over Metanus GX, and that the police are looking for clues as to whom the culprit is. The kids practice with their LBX's planning to go on a rescue mission to reclaim Metanus GX, but they do not want to make a move until they are able to confirm the location it's being held at. Meanwhile Jin has taken over watching Yuuya and he begins to question his grandfather's involvement in the entire ordeal as Yuuya lies in a coma. We learn that Jin and Yuuya were both the lone survivors in their families in the tragic Tokio Bridge collapse that also took Yagami's family. Shortly after the bridge collapse Jin was adopted by Yoshimitsu and become a Kaido. When his grandfather refuses to answer why he programmed The Emperor Mk 2 to self-destruct and why he killed the guards Jin decides to rebel. Jin secretly goes to Cyber Lance to become a test player for their new generation of LBX's. He is given control of Proto Zenon, and the controller he will use has more memory than any other control. It also increases the combat range from 100m to 1 km. Elsewhere Ban visits the warehouse where Lex trained him on the Super Plasma Burst. Surprisingly Lex appears and gives Ban the Platinum Capsule.

Pandora then eliminates an entire trucks Dequoo's with an EMP while Hunter and Kunoichi provide support, Pandora eventually is able to hack into one of the trucks computer systems and power it down, allowing Takuya and the kids to escape, but Ami notices that Pandora has a hesitancy every 2 minutes and 40 seconds. When the group arrives at Tiny Orbit they learn that Tiny Orbit is developing a new Sparkbload system that will increase the usage of LBX's to 50 km and allow them to be used in space and on other planets. Ami realizes that Pandora had to be operated with this technology, and when she sees the railcar speeds through Tiny Orbit's station lasting 5 seconds she realizes it has to be someone there. Just then Yuusuke arrives and leads the group where they can try to decipher the Platinum Capsule. The group is not able to decipher the Platinum Capsule, but they find blueprints for a new LBX had been downloaded into the Platinum Capsule roughly 72 hours before, during Artemis. Ban reveals Masked J sent him the info, and then Yuusuke reveals Masked J was Professor Yamano.

Before they can get a closer look at Pandora though the Innovators attack Tiny Orbit with four Inbit's. One of the Inbit's self destructs, taking out Tiny POrbit's defense system, so Ami and Kazu go to fight the other three. Kunoichi gets destroyed during a massive bodyslam, leaving Kazu in a 3-on-1 battle, so Yuusuke sends Ami the start-up code for Pandora.

Pandora uses her speed to cut down one of the Inbit's camera eyes. She then leads the other two into a corner where she appears to be trapped in a dead end. As the two start to fire at her, Ami commands Pandora to dodge their attacks and then simultaneously strikes down their other camera eyes. The three crash into each other and then explode. With the Inbit's out of the way construction begins On Ban's new LBX Odin, and Takuya takes the time to show the kids that the Seekers new base is right in the center of Tiny Orbit. Elsewhere Rina decides to infiltrate one of the Kaido's secret houses. She waits until the leader of the red team has left the room before going in to face Yoshimitsu. Her goal is to force him to approve usage of Optima in the medical field to save her sisters life. Elsewhere on the base Yagami is given a file that contains all the data on the Tokio Bridge incident, but when the red team begins to hunt him he is forced to alter his escape route. Also in the base is Jin, who has pulled data showing that Yuuya was used as a science experiment by Yoshimitsu. Jin decides to leave Yoshimitsu's care for good and join Ban and his friends fighting the Innovators. Eventually the man who gave Yagami the data leads him into a trap room and traps him, but Jin frees him allowing him to escape. Back at Yoshimitsu's office Rina holds a gun to Yoshimitsu and demands he allows Optima to go forward in the medical field. Yoshimitsu grabs the gun and gets into a wrestling contest, accidentally forcing the gun to go off and shoot him in the process. As Rina flees the scene Yoshimitsu is seen rising from the gunshot, but he is no longer human. Instead he is some sort of robot who has taken over Yoshimitsu's spot. Yagami finds Rina crying in the halls and drags her along so they can escape. The group flees to the spy jet Eclipse and manage to escape within it. Back at Tiny Orbit construction is finished on Odin. Ban assembles him and places the Platinum Capsule inside. As the group gets ready to test Odin's capabilities an alarm goes off inside Tiny Orbit.

As the train barrels towards Tiny Orbit the group learns two trains in the station are unable to start. If the train cannot be stopped, nearly 7,000 people will be affected by the wreckage. The Innovators red team hides in three locations nearby waiting to infiltrate Tiny Orbit after the wreck. Seeing no other choice, Ban asks if using Odin and the Sparkbload together might work to stop the wreck. Odin launches and infiltrates the train with roughly 20 km until impact. When he arrives in car 1 he sees that the LBX General Commander is controlling the train. Odin and General Commander fight, but Ban has a hard time using Odin's control functions because he is so much more advanced than Achilles. Seeing no other choice Ban runs headlong at General Commander and stuns him, allowing Odin to use his Gungnir finisher. General Commander is defeated, and Odin activates the brakes, However the brakes fail to engage. Yuusuke contacts the linear command and learns of a second way to stop the train. Ban destroys the trains control panel, causing the train to crash into the tracks and friction to slow it down. The actions appear to have taken place two late though as the train still has too much speed and will crash into Tiny Orbit. As things look their most grim Jin arrives and contacts them with the message, "Let me finish the rest." Jin launches Proto Zenon and uses his rocket thrusters to create a reverse draft. the train is stopped with 1m left until impact. Afterwards Jin reveals he has turned against his grandfather. he manages to convince the group and is welcomed to the Seekers. After Jin leaves Ban's LBX is brought back to him. A message is hidden inside Odin. It's none other than Professor Yamano. He reveals the contents in Metanus GX can still be recovered by the group if they can hack into the world's most protected computer system. The group is disappointed when they learn even a team of hackers failed to do so, but Yuusuke reveals there is one man who could succeed, the legendary hacker Otacross. | |||

Before God Speed Sword hits Ban has Odin run in and try to deflect the rays associated with the attack, but it costs Odin his left arm. After a second God Speed Sword hits Daiki is able to throw Nightmare's scythe at Apollo Kaiser and hit it. Ban realizes that Apollo Kaiser powers down for a few minutes after using his finisher, and it allows Ban to formulate a plan. Team Ban has their LBX's rush at Apollo Kaiser, with Nightmare and Hakai-O Z serving as shields. he two LBX's are able to shield Odin and allow Odin to use Gungnir when Apollo Kaiser powers down. Ban becomes the reigning king of Akihabara with the win. Afterwards Gouda officially releases Daiki from being his minion, and the Hacker Corps uses their thousands, if not millions, of members around Akihabara to search the Infinity Net for the Metanus GX fragments. They are able to gather 99% of the data, but the remaining 1% of the data is stuck in a net storm. If the data touches the storm at all it will be deleted. Seeing no other choice Yamaneko uses Otacross's virtual scanner to scan his LBX. He then creates a mini storm around his LBX, causing his LBX to be absorbed by the larger storm. Once Red Ribbon is inside he grabs the data and uses his blasters to create a hole in the storm. With the hole created he is able to throw out the data, and Ban and his friends are able to gain the decipher key for the Platinum Capsule. | |||

As Ban and his friends begin to return to Tiny Orbit they get surrounded by Innovators who want to steal the Eternal Cycler data. Takuya attacks one of the Innovators and tries to create an opening for the kids, but they end up being surrounded. Yagami arrives on the scene and surrounds the Innovators forcing them to retreat. As the group arrives at Tiny Orbit Yuusuke decides to trust Yagami and his allies. Yuusuke then demands they begin creating a rough draft on the Eternal Cycler because the prime minister has approved Yoshimitsu's Earth Crust Generation project. The Earth Crust Generation Project calls for energy to be harvested from underground volcanoes, but it would make Earth's crust unstable and lead to much destruction. Over at Cyber Lance Jin returns Proto Zenon with the data he collected from Akihabara Kingdom. The data will allow them to evolve Proto Zenon into Zenon's final form. Elsewhere Daiki is battlign at the arcades trying to get some sense of fun back into his life, but he feels there is something missing. Back at Tiny Orbit Yuusuke runs into Sawamura and brushes him off when he asks for a specific report. No one realizes that Sawamura is a spy inside Tiny Orbit. At the same time Ban and his friends head towards the Seekers base and run into Rina, who has been rehired by Tiny Orbit for her Sparkbload knowledge. Sawamura goes into Tiny Orbit's main security room and shuts off their alarm system. Outside Kirishima is hired to steal the eternal cycler when it is completed. If he succeeds, he will be given the funds to restart Asuka Manufacturing. Back at the Seekers base Rina tells everyone how she shot Yoshimitsu and he survived. She then tells how she met Yagami as he was leaving the Innovators. Yagami then tells them how his family was killed by the Tokio Bridge incident and how the Innovators were responsible for it. As construction begins on the Eternal Cycler Yuusuke and Takuya get contacted by Otacross. Otacross informs them an army of LBX's is approaching Tiny Orbit through a tunnel. Tiny Orbit does a scan and learns more than 25,000 LBX's are about to attack as the episode comes to an end. | |||

The Hacker Corps connect to the Infinity Net and send their LBX's to help out at Tiny Orbit. Gouda is sent down to work with the Hacker Corps; Ban, Kazu, and Ami will provide last defense on the staircase, and Yagami and his crew will guard the fourth floor vents. Roughly 1 hour is needed to finish the eternal cycler. As the LBX's begin to attack Gouda uses his finishing move, Super Gaou Cannon to take out nearly 1,000 LBX's. The Hacker Corps follow suit as Red Ribbon uses his Napalm Bomb, Gladiator uses his laser cutter, and Claymisha uses his trident. When the LBX's get past the first line Ami realizes the ones getting through are All Inbit's that run on AI's. With this new knowledge they are able to narrow down the attack patterns and use their finishers to take out more LBX's. Odin uses Gugnir, Fenrir uses Hawk Eye Drive, and Ami uses Chaotic Fist. When the LBX's are narrowed down to roughly 2,000 the Innovators send in their fort tank Bardoma as a last resort. Jin arrives with the newly completed Zenon, and the groups are reassigned. Ban and Jin will work with the Hacker Corps battling the tank while Ami, Kazu, and Gouda move up to the fourth floor to join Yagami protecting the lab. Zenon uses his finisher Break Gazer to cause a smokescreen, allowing Zenon and Odin to get onto the tank. The hacker corps try to follow suit, but Fort Tank Bardoma begins to fire randomly and takes out many of their LBX's. On the tank Zenon begins to hack into the tanks system while Odin takes out enemy LBX's. Odin uses Super Plasma Burst for the first time to finish off the enemy LBX's just before Zenon forces Fort Tank Bardoma to power down. News comes in. All the enemy LBX's have been defeated, and Yuuki finishes the eternal cycler test. However power goes off in the lab, and Kirishima steals the eternal cycler. Yuusuke goes in pursuit. Ban arrives at the front entrance to meet Jin and get back Odin when he sees Yuusuke pursuing Kirishima. Kirishima hesitates to use a gun he has, so the Innovators send another agent up which steals the eternal cycler. The agent then has a preprogrammed truck try to run over Kirishima, but Yuusuke pushes him out of the way and gets hit instead, ending his life right in front of Ban and Jin's eyes. | |||

Five days have passed since Yuusuke died, and Ban has not left his room since that incident. Lex returns and visits Tiny Orbit where he is shown the new Seekers base. However he learns the eternal cycler data has been deleted. Before leaving Lex informs Takuya that Sawamura is an Innovator spy. As Takuya makes his way to his office, he is given the research his brother did on the Innovators and vows to fight til the very end. Takuya calls a meeting for all of Tiny Orbit and dismisses the entire board. Afterwards he returns to the Seekers base where he introduces Yagami, Hosoi, Yakabe, and Mano as the newest Seekers. The group reveals they will be providing support from the Eclipse they stole from the Innovators. Takuya reveals the data his brother got and tells everyone that his father was also killed by the Innovators in a staged car accident. He also announces that Kirishima is being brought on to create new support weapons for the LBX's. Kirishima is hesitant about doing so until Ami thanks him for creating the fortified box they use for LBX battles. We move to Ban's house where Ban's mom tries to get him to eat. She admits that she is scared but knows a time comes that people must fight and that Ban must recover. As Kazu and Ami make their way home, they get a call from Yagami. They are being pursued by one of the Innovators. The group leads the Innovator to Blue Cats where Yagami ambushes the spy and defeats his LBX Assassin. At a nearby arcade Gouda sees Daiki leaving and invites him to join the upcoming fight against the Innovators. Meanwhile Jin questions his grandfather and gains evidence that he is an android. After learning this he decides to leave the mansion for good. At the airport Kamiya Corp's president welcomes back his son Kousuke, who has been studying LBX's overseas. He believes his son is what they need to cause the Fairy Tail project to succeed. | |||

The Seekers learn the eternal cycle sampler is being kept at Kamiya Craft's Goliath. Lex sends Kazu the infiltration route, so Kazu, Ami, Gouda, and Daiki decide to go in, not knowing Lex is watching them from the shadows. The group makes it into Goliath fairly easily and arrives at the control center where they see mysterious controls known as acorns being made. The group is forced to hide when Yoshimitsu arrives. Shortly afterwards Kamiya Craft's president arrives with his son, who informs them they have a rat problem. Yoshimitsu and the President leave the room and Kousuke faces the others four-on-1 with his LBX Lucifer. At Ban's place Jin arrives to confront Ban. Ban admits he's afraid he'll die or his friends will die if they continue. Jin tells him loss is a part of life and reveals that his parents were killed in the Tokio Bridge incident. If that were not enough his grandfather has now been killed and replaced by an android. Ban gets more rebellious and tries to destroy Odin until Jin reminds him how Odin connects him to his father. This, plus some wise words from his mother, cause Ban to rebound. Jin is notified that Ami and the others have been captured in Goliath, so Ban and Jin decide to rescue them. At Kamiya Corp Yoshimitsu tells the Innovators to hand over the Eternal Cycle sampler when the Seekers arrive because he is changing up the final phase of their plan. Ban and Jin sneak in with the help of the Kaido's butler, but the Yoshimitsu android comes into the hall to battle. He launches his new LBX Kaiser to battle Odin and Zenon. Kaiser gains Odin and Zenon's battle data using his AI and then begins to defeat them. However Ban's determination causes Odin to unleash his Extreme Mode. Odin overpowers and destroys Kaiser. The destruction causes the Yoshimitsu android to short circuit. Ban and Jin move past the android and continue looking for their friends as the episode ends. | |||

Kousuke watched Ban and Jin from the control room and opens and closes doors that will lead them to the others. Jin realizes they are being led into a trap but feels there is no choice but to continue. Ban and Jin make it to the control room where they see the acorns being made. Jin realizes they could be a weapon that is run by the eternal cycler. Kousuke arrives and promises to let them go if Ban and Jin can beat him in a battle. Odin and Zenon are sent out to battle Lucifer, but Lucifer has incredible speed. Ban is eventually able to analyze Kousuke's speed and jabs Lucifer in the side. Before Kousuke can retaliate his father contacts him and says it is time to go. Kousuke returns the groups CCM's and provides an escape route. Before they leave Jin asks what the acorns are for, and Kousuke reveals they are miniature megaton bombs. The groups escape route ends up being the trash line, but they are able to make it outside. Good news awaits them as Takuya reveals that Zaizen has agreed to postpone the Earth Crust project. The good news is short lived as Lex sends Ban the data on the Innovators target. The Innovators plan to destroy the worlds energy at the Tyrant Press Energy Plant. Mano is able to track down the Innovators research base only to learn they have a missile that is being loaded with Fairy BX's, LBX's with artificial intelligence. Each Fairy has an acorn at their core, and the group only has 21 hours to stop them. | |||

3 hours before Saturn is scheduled to launch the Seekers begin their attack. Yagami outlines Saturn's defense system known as Fencer, a dangerous laser beam system that can short out any and all electronics. The goal is to stop Saturn before the launch, and the only time they can sneak into the base is when there are only 30 minutes until launch. Ban is given the Beam Garter Shield by Kirishima, and then Takuya leads Ban, Jin, Ami, and Kazu through the hidden research lab lake entrance. The group gets on the control room elevator so they have the quickest route possible, but in the hallway before the control room they run into a Fairy. The Fairy has not AI on its side, but it also has the ability to cloak itself. Fairy takes down Fenrir and Pandora before Ami realizes that Fairy cannot hide its shadow. Ban and Jin team-up and use Gungnir and Break Gazer on Fairy's shadow to finish it off. They make it into the control room with 4 minutes remaining and begin the shutdown process. Before they can finish though the system locks them out and the control room doors shut, locking them inside. Lex comes on the monitor and reveals he is the real mastermind behind Fairy Tail. We see him shoot Yoshimitsu in a flashback, and when Saturn launches Lex reveals his plan will reset the entire world, but it is not destroying the Tyrant Press Energy Plant. As Ban and company try to get out the door opens from the outside and in walks Professor Yamano to face off with Lex. | |||

After Doctor Yamano opens the doors Yagami also enters. He reveals they've traced the route of Saturn and that it is headed for N-City. Lex reveals he is targeting N-City because of the International Group Summit taking place there. Lex reveals an explosion 18 years earlier cost his father his job, but his father always claimed he did not cause the explosion. Lex traced the explosion back to Yoshimitsu, which is why he took his life, but now he sees the world falling for the same trap from politicians, economists, and developers because of their greed. The group leaves the lab and boards Eclipse and Lex and the anrdoir Yoshmitsu use a jet plane to board Saturn. Eclipse catches up with Saturn and launches a desperate attack with LBX's to try and lower fence's defenses. Six LBX's make it on board Saturn using their new umbrella shields, but they quickly encounter a fleet of Innovator LBX's waiting for them. Ban and Jin manage to make it to the fence control room where they once again encounter Kousuke. Kousuke refuses to believe they are headed for N-City and insists on fighting. Seeing no other choice Ban activates Odin's Extreme Mode and Jin activate Zenon's Alternative Mode to battle Lucifer. Lucifer tries a quick finisher with Devil Sword but fails to hit them because of the increased speed. Odin and Zenon get in many quick hits and appear to finish off Lucifer, but Lucifer rises and enters the deadly Seraphic Mode to finish the battle. | |||

Lucifer uses his finisher on Odin and Zenon in Seraphic mode and begins to celebrate his victory. When the smoke clears neither Odin nor Zenon have been harmed. Ban uses Gungnir and Jin uses Break Gazer in their powered up modes to finish off Lucifer and cause Kousuke to collapse. Before their LBX's can go any further Lex raises a plasma field to block off the sparkbload signals. Eclipse launches an anchor into Saturn and the Seekers infiltrate Saturn with two missions: 1) regain their LBX's and 2) shut down Saturn. Only two places can have the route changed: the control room and the cockpit. Professor Yamano and Yagami's subordinates head toward the control room while Yagami holds off Innovator LBX's. Ban and Jin head for the cockpit. Along the way Gouda, Daiki, Kazu, and Ami recover their LBX's, but they are forced to stay behind to help eliminate Innovator LBX's. After regaining Odin and Zenon Ban and Jin arrive in the sat room where the plasma field is being raised. Jin powers down the satellites just before android Yoshimitsu returns. He challenges Jin to a battle, and Jin accepts while sending Ban ahead to deal with Lex. Jin sends the camera signal to Professor Yamano allowing him to show the battle to the entire ship. Yoshimitsu easily handles Zenon until he cuts off his left arm. The loss of the left arm throws Zenon's weight off kilter and allows Zenon to begin dodging attacks. Zenon once again enters Alternative Mode, causing Yoshimitsu to start short circuiting. Jin unveils the final finisher for Zenon, Omega Explosion, and destroys Gekkomaru and Yoshimitsu. Seeing that Yoshimitsu is an android the Innovators recheck Saturns coordinates and learn the plane is headed for N-City. The Innovators stop battling and surrender. Meanwhile Ban arrives at the cockpit and finds Lex waiting so they can have the final battle. | |||

After Ban makes it to the cockpit Lex reveals Saturn is run by the Gravity Pump, and there is no way to shut it down. Jin also arrives at the cockpit, but before he can breakdown the door to where Ban is Dr. Yamano arrives and stops him saying they have another mission they need to complete first. Lex brings out Ifreet to battle Odin. Ifreet is armed wit Angel's AI capabilities and quickly destroys Odin's shield. Odin counters with Gungir but ends up missing Ifreet. Ifreet activates his Inferno Mode, and Lex says Inferno Mode contains all the hatred he has, meaning Inferno Mode is Lex as he is today. He knocks Odin through part of Saturn, but Ban retaliates with Jet Striker and then enters extreme Mode. Professor Yamano and Jin arrive back at the control room where Professor Yamano enters a self destruct sequence, but only Odin can activate it. Back at the battle Ifreet uses Prominence Raid, but it fails to stop Odin's Extreme Mode. Ban pierces Ifreet through the chest and appears to defeat him, but Ifreet's AI accepts all of Lex's hatred and starts firing wildly. Odin counters with Lightning Lance and follows it up with Super Plasma Burst to defeat Ifreet for good. Odin then activates the self destruct, and Ban helps Lex head back towards Eclipse. On the way back to Eclipse Lex reveals the words he wanted the world to know to Ban. Those words are, "Humans aren't beasts. Humans aren't Gods. Humans need to take the time to think what humans should do." Ban makes it onto Eclipse's escape hatch, and then Lex pushes him up further and tells Takuya to detach. Lex goes down with the ship and gives Ban yet one more friend to mourn, but Saturn and the Fairies are stopped permanently and N-City is protected. | |||

One year has passed since the Innovators were defeated. LBX battles can now been seen all across the city, and Ban has been invited to Tiny Orbit's new product revealing ceremony at Tokio SIA. In a nearby arcade, Hiro Ozora competes in the electronic LBX game and gets 20 consecutive wins to win a rare Senshiman figure. A mysterious man bumps into him and picks up the Senshiman figure. When Hiro goes to check the figure he sees the LBX Perseus instead of Senshiman. Hiro has never used LBX's before and nearly hits Ban. Ban checks out Perseus because he has never seen him before. He then teaches Hiro how to use him before finishing the trip to Tokio SIA. At Tokio SIA Takuya reveals Tiny Orbit's newest product – a Black Achilles LBX known as Achilles Deed. After the presentation Achilles Deed gets hacked, and all unmanned LBX's across the city begin attacking. Ami, Ban, and Kazuya attempt to stop them, but Fenrir and Pandora get destroyed and gets knock out gas used on them. Hiro arrives at Tokio SIA and attempts to assist Ban. The mysterious man returns and gives Ban a D-Egg to battle Achilles Deed in so people can escape. Odin and Perseus are unable to match Achilles Deed's speed, and Odin misses hitting Achilles Deed with Gungnir. Achilles Deed retaliates using his finisher, Black Storm. He destroys Odin and escapes the D-Egg. After the battle, the mysterious man reveals that a new enemy has risen. Before he can tell Ban and Takuya any more information, a masked man comes on the electronic screen and claims a new group known as the Detectors must become the rulers of the Earth, and they will do so by any means necessary. | |||

The mysterious man introduces himself as Cobra. He was sent by Professor Yamano to give Hiro and Ban their new LBX's and to stop the threat of the Detectors should it arise. He reveals that the Detectors are kidnapping the strongest LBX players for unknown reasons. Cobra gives Ban a new LBX, Elysion, with which to fight. Ban assembles Elysion and Cobra traces down that the hacked computer being controlled by the Detectors is the old Seeker base. Takuya provides Ban and Hiro knowledge on how to get to the base. On B8 the two get ambushed by 5 Inbit's, but Ban and Hiro use good teamwork to stop them and defeat them with ease. The group makes it inside the Seeker base where they have to face multiple LBX's. The final set of LBX's in the battle feature two G-Rexes and Achilles Deed. If they can defeat them they can shut down the hijacked computer. Another mysterious youth shows up and uses a very customized Dequoo to destroy the two G-Rexes. Achilles Deed retreats and Elysion shuts down the computer. As Ban goes to thank him, the youth reveals he is not there to help. Instead he is there to defeat Ban, and he'll defeat all enemies in their way to make sure they cannot defeat Ban before he does. Over at the Senate Zaizen brings Yagami out of the shadows and asks him to investigate the Detectors. He senses the man's ambition is not world domination, but is hiding a much more ulterior motive, although he's not sure what it is. | |||

Takuya and Cobra arrive at the base, but the mysterious youth has left. Takuya decides to restore the Seekers and contacts Rina to come and assemble the old base. Cobra reveals all he knows about the Detectors, which is not much more than what has been shared. He reveals that the LBX's are being controlled through a process called brainjacking. The brainjacking occurs through the M Chip which Omega Dain requires all LBX's to have. However Professor Yamano has ignored that requirement and made it so Perseus and Elysion do not have the M Chip. He also reveals that a third LBX from Professor Yamano will be presented to the winner of the Shibuya Town Martial Arts tournament. The next day, Takuya contacts Yagami and asks him to investigate Omega Dain. He also tells him he is bringing back the Seekers to fight. Meanwhile in Shibuya, Ran Hanasaki wins the martial arts tournament and is presented the LBX Minerva. After the tourney she goes to fight her friend outside when Detector LBX's arrive. Minerva and Warrior are able to handle most of them, but then Warrior gets brainjacked. Minerva is forced to take out Warrior and then gets surrounded by Achilles Deed, a black Kunoichi, and a black Hunter. Ban and Hiro arrive and help Ran take out the Kunoichi and Hunter, but Achilles Deed escapes. Ran is made a member of the team and is taken to the Seekers base. Over across the sea the president of A Nation asks her defense secretary and vice president to do research on the LBX crisis. The vice president chooses to go to Omega Dain for advice while the defense secretary contacts Yagami and Zaizen. Back at the Seekers base the CCM's for Ami and Kazuya are detected. They appear to be on a plane headed to A Nation, but before precise coordinates can be located the signals are cut off. Ban and company decide to head to A Nation to investigate. | |||

Ban and Ran return home and get permission to head to N City to look for Ami and Kazuya. The next day, everyone meets at the airport. Takuya presents Ran and Hiro with their own LBX bags before announcing Cobra will be in charge of the group in N City while he continues to get the Seekers up and running. The group boards Tiny Orbit's jet and heads for N City. Cobra reveals they are heading for NICS because NICS can trace all super computers. He also reveals that a super computer is required for the brainjacking to work. As they continue to head for N City in A Nation, the plane begins to descend early. Automatic LBX's have snuck on board and taken control of the plane at the wheel sector, in the toilet, and in the conference room. Ban, Ran, and Hiro each descend upon a location and use their finishers to defeat the Detectors Inbits. Elysion uses Holy Lance, Perseus uses Cosmo Slash, and Minerva uses Flame Avalanche. After landing safely in N City airport, the group is getting off the plane when Ban gets challenged by Jessica Kaios and her LBX, Jeanne D. But is Jessica a friend or enemy though? | |||

Jessica battles Ban. The two appear to have evenly matched speed and skills. When Ban begins to get serious, Jessica pulls out Jeanne D and welcomes the group to N City. She reveals she is from NICS and has been sent to pick them up. Back in Japan, we learn that the Seekers are working on a vaccine program to stop the brainjacking of the super computers. The group arrives at NICS and Jessica introduces her father, defense secretary Owen Kaios. Cobra shares with NICS what they know, and the two groups agree to work together. At noon the LBX's in N City get brainjacked. The Detectors leader once again appears on screen and demands the President withdraw by 6 p.m. or he will continue to have LBX's go on a rampage. Ban, Hiro, Jessica, and Ran are given a program on their CCM's that will allow them to detect EM waves. Using the program they trace the hijacked computer to the subway doctor train. The Seekers finish the vaccine program. The four members install the vaccine program in their LBX's, and Jessica and Hiro head into the doctor train to stop the brainjacking. Once inside they run into Kousuke who has been turned into a slave player by the Detectors and has a control collar around his neck that brainwashes him. His sole mission is to stop the group from deactivating the train. With 1 minute left until 6 Hiro throws Shadow Lucifer into the air with Perseus's swords. Jeanne D finishes off Shadow Lucifer deactivating the control collar and making Kousuke fall unconscious. Jeanne D installs the vaccine program, and the LBX's fail to start back up at 6. Before the group can get off the train, it starts up unexpectedly and begins to run wild. | |||
| 6 | "Duck Shuttle Takeoff" Transliteration: "Dakku Shatoru Hasshin" (Japanese: ダックシャトル発進) | February 22, 2012 | |
|
Ban, Ran, and Cobra run out to a nearby car to head to the subway station to recover Hiro and Jessica, but Achilles Deed is seen piloting the train. As the train is moved from the alternative route to the main route, a mysterious LBX begins to fill the subway with thick, sticky threads similar to a spiderweb. The threads catch on to the train and stop it roughly 1m before impact with one of the parked subway trains. As Jessica and Hiro get off they run to see what stopped the train. They find the mysterious LBX which returns to Jin. Ban and Ran arrive and Ban and Jin are reunited. Jin reveals his new LBX is Triton. Triton was customized for him and does not contain the M chip. He also reveals he was brought by another of Professor Yamano's assistants, Mongoose. Cobra and Mongoose go at it while NICS recovers Kousuke and takes him back to examine him. Over in Japan things are looking down for Tiny Orbit. The stocks are crashing and people are calling for Takuya's resignation. Before Takuya can do anything about it Tiny Orbit is bought out by Crystar Ingram, and Crystar Ingram places Kawamura Muneto, a former Innovator member in charge of the company. Takuya is kicked out of Tiny Orbit, but as he leaves his secretary tells him to let her handle the rest inside Tiny Orbit. Back in A Nation NICS makes Jin a member of the team. Ban and company are then taken to meet their resident hacker who is revealed to be none other than Otacross. Otacross reveals he has learned that the computers being brainjacked continue to maintain their functions, but they do not operate at 100%. Otacross then scans the many super computers and learns of a computer in Shang-Pao, China which is about to be brainjacked. NICS loads the team up onto their transport vehicle, the Duck Shuttle, and they take off for China. Meanwhile Takuya meets with Yagami and reveals that Crystar Ingram and Omega Dain have some sort of relation. Yagami then asks Takuya to go on some sort of mission in his place. | |||

|
Jessica shows everyone around the Duck Shuttle including places like the control room, the conference center/recreation room, the bedrooms, and the cockpit. When they arrive in Shang-Pao Otacross calls everyone to the control room. He introduces everyone to his creation, the Riding Saucer. The Riding Saucer was created to allows LBX's to have greater mobility in the air and in places like space. Because it is night Otacross has Ban fly Elysion around the city on a Riding Saucer. Ban does scans of the supercomputers on the way, and the group narrows it down to two super computers: Dragon Tower and Shang-Pao Harbor. The next morning the teams divide into two groups to search the locations. Ban, Ran, and Otacross go to Dragon Tower while Jin, Jessica, and Hiro go to Shang-Pao Harbor. Ban and Ran thinks Dragon Tower looks creepy, but Otacross reveals that it is actually an amusement park in disguise. The group goes inside and Ran is given a map of Dragon Tower by a giant panda bear person. Otacross decides they should check Dragon Tower by going up the emergency stairs. When the group makes it to the elevator, automated LBX's jump out and try to ambush them. Otacross eliminates them with ZX-1, and then a brainjacking signal is detected. The group raises up the tower with Otacross eliminating another set of LBX's with ZX-2 and Minerva eliminating the third, but Otacross breaks his back in the process. Ban decides to take Otacross back down but tells Ran to find the supercomputer and then wait for backup before engaging the enemy. Ran finds the supercomputer and learns that the giant panda bear person is actually a slave player. Ran ignores Ban's council and engages the slave player, who fights back with 2 Dark Kunoichi's and a Dark Pandora. Ban and Otacross detect the battle and head back up, but Minerva is defeated before they make it up. Otacross and Ban arrive and Otcross fuses his LBX's to form Perfect ZX-3. The panda bear takes off her mask and reveals herself to be Ami, who is now under Detector's control. Dark Pandora picks up Minerva and throws her over the edge of the building.

Ami battles Ban and Otacross in a winner takes all slugfest. Ami's speed seems to be too much for Ban and Oacross to handle. Otacross eventually gets frustrated and just has Perfect ZX-3 throw out an arm. It manages to make contact with the Pandora and temporarily stuns Ami. Ban follows suit by firing off his finisher Holy Lance forcing the Pandora and Kunoichi's into the air. Otacross uses his Thundercross while the LBX's are in the air to cause a breakover and free Ami from control. Ami collapses, and Ban decides to install the vaccine program. We learn the LBX's the others were fighting were brainjacked as they shut down when the vaccine program finishes installing. Ami comes to and admits she does not remember anything after Pandora was destroyed at Tokio SIA. Ami is told how the Detectors are handling the LBX fighters and decides to fight, but a severe headache hits her and keeps her from joining NICS at this time. The team takes Ami back to Japan where she is placed in Rina and the Seekers custody. Takuya joins the group and announces he'll be joining them from here on out, but he also brings with him a surprise. Yuuya Haibara joins the team. The group returns to N City where Takuya and Yuuya are officially made NICS members. NICS decides to investigate Crystar Ingram and Omega Dain behind the scenes, but first they decide to analyze the new data they received from the China incident.

The scene shifts to Omega Dain's test room where we see the youth that said he would destroy Ban in the first episode. His name is Kazama Kirito, and he's Omega Dain's test player. Kirito destroys 10 LBX's with his customized Dequoo in less than a minute. While a video explaining Omega Dain's role in M-chips is playing Ban, Jin, and Yuuya are sent to try to make it to Omega Dain's controlroom through the air shafts.

Hiro, Ran, and Jessica are sent out to take out as many brainjacked LBX's as possible until the super computer can be found. The enemy LBX's overwhelm them, and Perseus ends up being saved by M. Goujou, Cryster Ingram's test player. After the battle the LBX's stop their revolt. Detector comes on and gives the Egyptian Presidency one hour to stop all foreign oil shipments. If they fail to do so, he will restart the LBX riot. Otacross finally tracks the brainjacked super computer to a local hotel that is also being used as a refugee site for the LBX attack. Jessica instantaneously memorises the map of the building, and she leads Hiro and Ran through the hotel to stop the computer. Meanwhile in N City Takuya, Ban, Jin, and Yuuya visit Omega Dain's President. He basically confronts them and asks them why they keep suspecting him of being guilty of espionage when there are multiple reports showing M Chips to be safe. Takuya brings up the hidden room, so Alan takes them to it and shows them it is a manufacturing line for M chips. Back in Egypt, Hiro, Jessica, and Ran make it to the computer room corridor but they get cut off by two Anubius LBX's and a slave player.

Hiro asks the girls to let him battle Goujou, so the girls agree to take the Anubius LBX's on. The battle seems fairly even until the team uses their finishers, including the debut of Jeanne D's Sidewinder-8 finisher. With the mystery LBX stopped and the Anubius LBX's destroyed Goujou collapses and is freed from the control collar. Ran and Jessica activate the vaccine system and stop the super computer. Before they can leave though Hiro gets another vision showing him the hotel could explode. Hiro insists on Otacross looking it up and refuses to leave until this mystery can be solved. While waiting for more details a computer in the hotel overheats and explodes. It causes some minor damage to the hotel. Otacross reveals that the hotel's cooling system appears to be what was compromised during the brainjacking. While it cooled off the hotel enough to help the customers, it did not cool it off enough for the computer systems. Otacross finds a second computer getting ready to catch fire. If it does, it will ignite the oil tank next to it and cause the hotel to explode. The hotel is evacuated and Hiro and Goujou rush to stop the computer. They find Achilles Deed blocking their way so they send out Perseus and the mystery LBX, which is finally revealed to be called Shin Egypt. Shortly after the battle commences Ran and Jessica use the Duck Shuttle's control pods to send their LBX's to distract Achilles Deed. With Achilles Deed distracted Hiro and Goujou are able to turn off the super computer and prevent it from exploding. Back in N City, Takuya learns that the Egyptian riot has been stopped. Rather than have the Duck Shuttle pick them up, he decides to have the Duck Shuttle return to N City while they use the train to travel back. | |||

The episode begins with the team about to board the train to N City. Yuuya grabs a copy of the LBX magazine and hears a conversation from the conductor about how Crystar Ingram's new CCM is being transported on this train. He also hears they are worried that a group of thieves called Wild Badge will attack. Wild Badge has been committing a lot of crimes lately with LBX's despite the speed. Yuuya boards the train and is followed close by Kirito. As the train takes off Yuuya reveals what he heard. 5 mysterious youths get out of their seats and head to the back of the train. Two decide to stand guard at the door while another 2 send in their Hakai-O's to cut the back train car off. As they do so the train begins to slow down. Takuya detects their LBX's and sends Ban, Jin, and Yuuya to investigate. On the way, they get intercepted by Kirito who chooses to let them go no further until they battle him. Jin starts to battle him, but Takuya picks up a third LBX in the drivers room. Shortly after the train speeds up again. Takuya decides to investigate on his own and gets locked in the second car by the sixth man. He contacts the guys, and when Kirito learns the story about the rain robbers is true he lets them pass. Ban, Jin, and Yuuya are stopped at the last car by the guards. A third member of the gang comes out and backs them up by one car. Ban, Jin, and Yuuya are forced to battle their opponents Hakai-O's. One of the Wild Badge members cheats and uses stun grenades to hit Liu Bei. Elysion and Triton go to cover for him, and Jin has Triton use a baseball-like swing to send one of the charges back towards the Hakai-O's. It stuns the Hakai-O's while Liu Bei recovers. Ban and company then destroy their LBX's, and Jin ties up the thieves with Triton. With 3 opponents down Yuuya is sent to free Takuya while Ban and Jin move on. The other two Wild Badge members send out their Hakai-O's to stop them, and they are joined by the sixth man who is revealed to be the leader of the group. His name is Bartz. Once again Elysion and Triton are sent into battle, but this time Kirito decides to join in. Instead of going after the Wild Badge members Kirito sends his Dequoo-Oz after Ban and Jin. Ban and Jin are able to counter most of the attacks, and when the Wild Badge members swoop in to attack Dequoo-Oz finishes two of them off. Elysion and Triton then use a combo attack to finish off Bartz's Salamander and finish the battle. Triton ties up the remaining 3 Wild Badge members. The group arrives safely in N City and we see the Wild Badge members taken away. Kirito decides to return to N City, complaining the trip was no fun. Takuya and company return to NICS.

The assassination attempt information is revealed. It will take place at the Peace Speech to be held on Peace Island the day of Artemis. Artemis is to be held in the same spot, so the plan calls for LBX's to attempt the assassination from Artemis. Seeing no other choice Ban, Jin, and Yuuya decide to use their automatic entries from being finalists the year before to enter Artemis. Jessica proposes they form two teams of three since each team can hold up to three members. The others agree, but Hiro hesitates saying he does not have the experience needed to compete at Artemis. Otacross proposes Hiro, Ran, and Jessica be given special training by participating in Angra Texas, A Nation's most dangerous and no rules LBX tournament. Jessica protests the decision, but her father overrules her and makes it official. Otacross then assigns Ban, Jin, and Yuuya as trainers for Hiro, Ran, and Jessica. Ban is teamed up with Hiro, Jin with Jessica, and Yuuya with Ran. Jessica and Ran refuse to listen to any advice Jin and Yuuya give them during training, but Hiro absorbs it all. The day comes and Angra Texas begins. Otacross throws out another surprise. The combatants have to use their teacher's weapons up until the final round to get used to customizing their LBX's. The rules are explained. 10 battle circuits are set up around the stadium. Combatants will receive the number of an arena on their CCM and go battle there. 10 wins are needed to make it to the finals, but only the first 3 to get 10 wins will make it. If you lose or tie you are eliminated. Hiro and Ran win their first round matches with ease, but Jessica struggles with a Buld that has 100 firing rounds. Jin advises Jessica to use her memory for something other than memorizing specs. Jessica decides to study her opponents movements and memorizes them. With this knowledge present Jessica is able to dodge every attack. Eventually she moves in and destroys the Buld to move on in the tournament. | |||

Angra Texas continues. Ran get frustrated not being able to balance the sword and shield and switches to her usual weapons to get win 9. Shortly afterwards Jessica and Billy get their tenth wins to advance to the finals, and Hiro picks up his ninth win. Angra Texas announces a head-to-had match between Hiro and Ran will determine who gets the final spot. They are given half an hour to prepare for the fight. During this time Ran and Yuuya get into a fight, making Yuuya feel like a lousy coach. Jessica tells him not to worry that Ban will have learned from him, but she says it takes girls using their own unique skills to be able to apply all the principles. Outside Jin comes across Ran and is surprised by what he sees. The half hour draws to a conclusion, and the fight between Ran and Hiro begins. Jin comes in as coach for Ran for this one fight instead of Yuuya. Despite her earlier struggles Ran appears to have mastered the sword and shield Liu Bei uses and she is able to hold off most of Perseus's attacks. The two appear fairly even, but Ran slowly drives Hiro into a corner. Little does she know Hiro is studying her looking for a way to throw Minerva off balance. During a thrust Hiro leaps into the air instead of to the side causing Minerva to lose balance. Perseus jabs Minerva from behind causing a break over and moving Hiro onto the 3-way final. | |||

The stadium is revealed, and all non-combatants are asked to leave, including the coaches. As the final match starts Billy decides to first target Perseus. He causes Perseus to run into a mine field, thereby trapping him and making it where he will fight Jessica one-on-one. Jessica mistakenly thinks that Billy has feelings for her, but when Billy admits the only thing he has feelings for is LBX's and that the matches he had been checking out were Hiro's she gets mad. Jessica is able to use this fury to increase her speed, and she uses the terrain as a shield. Billy decides to narrow things down and uses his quick draw to eliminate most of the mountains Jessica has been using as a shield. He then shoots her shield out of her hand, leading to a one-on-one quick draw competition. Hiro decides to use his Cosmo Slash finisher to eliminate the rest of the land mines, and as the smokescreen reaches Jessica and Billy shots are fired. Bill walks out the winner and turns his eyes towards Hiro. Billy's speed proves to be too much for Hiro at first, but Hiro remembers what it was like fighting with a lance. He decides to turn Perseus's entire body into a lance. He manages to knock away Billy's guns, and after him and Billy regain their weapons of choice they face down each other. Hiro gains new speed and manages to make it a close fight that Billy cannot keep up with. Billy is defeated, and Hiro becomes the Anga Texas champion.

Before the match can begin, Ran seems overly optimistic about facing Ban, so Jessica comes up with a plan. As the battle begins Yuuya's Liu Bei and Ran's Minerva pursue Ban's Elysion while Jin's Triton and Jessica's Jeanne D pursue Hiro's Perseus. Both teams reveal those strategies were traps for their opponents when Yuuya comes back and starts firing at Jin from the castle rooftop. Jin decides to go and help take out Ran but comes back when Jeanne D gets cornered. The trap was actually meant for Jin. Yuuya unleashes his gun straight into Triton's chest causing trito to fall over. Triton gets backup and Triton and Liu Bei come face-to-face. They fire simultaneous shots and take each other out. At the same time Minerva and Jeanne D fire simultaneous shots and take each other out, leaving Ban and Hiro as the final two.

The finals of Artemis take place. Some teams hold competitions to determine who will go participate (the Otarangers determine who will go on by playing paper, rock scissors while Daiki and Gouda determine by seeing who can be the first to drink 20 cans of tomato juice). Others teams just tell their stars to go on (Ban, Hiro, and Jasmine Alexander advance this way). Finally, Asuka goes from being a solo player in the competition. Over at the Peace Hall, the President discusses the recent assassination attempt with NICS and with Alan Worthen of Omega Dain. Alan apologizes for Artemis being used and says they will come up with better security for the next competition. After the conference ends the Vice President tells the President instead of getting rid of all their weapons, they should work on increasing their military power to battle the Detectors. We return to Artemis where the final round of battles begin with the battle royale. Asuka uses Vampire Cat to lure Perseus and Hakai-OZ into a one-on-one battle, and Bibinbird Gold is forced to battle Jasmine's Amazonese. Bibinbird Gold is the first one eliminated followed shortly by Hakai-OZ. Amazonese then targets Ba and Elysion, but Ban uses his shield to block all of her Gatling guns shots and take her out. Ban, Hiro, and Asuka all meet at the center of the diorama for the final battle. None of them seem to be able to gain an advantage on the other until Perseus charges at Vampire Cat. Vampire Cat jumps, causing Perseus to run into Elysion. As Elysion and Perseus battle it out Asuka has Vampire Cat launch her finisher, Devil Soul. Devil Soul gives Asuka the Artemis Championship. During the post match interview, Asuka announces to her little brother Takeru, who built Vampire Cat from scratch, that his big sister has won, stunning all the members of NICS as they realize Asuka is a girl. Asuka is invited to join NICS, but she turns it down saying maybe they'll meet again in the future, but right now she has other things to do. Otacross then approaches Ban and Hiro and announces if they can get stronger then they can unlock a special mode in their LBX's that he has recently uncovered. | |||

Meanwhile Professor Yamano contacts NICS and asks them to send the kids to Britannia, England so he can tune their LBX's and upgrade Elysion, Minerva, and Perseus.

The train finally starts up again for Ban, Jin, and Ran allowing them to once again move towards Britannia clock tower. Meanwhile Alan Worthen spots Achilles Deed watching the battle unfold between Kirito and Yuuya and tells him to send in Killer Droid to capture him. Killer Droid tries to target Achilles Deed, but Achilles Deed never gets locked onto. Ban and company arrive and find Keita and wonder who could be battling. They also hear the commotion from Killer Droid above. Inside the battle dome, Yuuya uses his shield to block most of Hakai-O custom's attacks. When the shield arm gets chopped off, he launches a surprise attack. He uses Liu Bei's finisher White Tiger Slash to knock out Hakai-O custom. The dome lowers and Killer Droid is knocked down in front of them. Kirito decides to retreat, and Professor Yamano tells Ban and company to do the same after Yuuya deactivates the control computer. Killer Droid keeps this from happening as he raises a battle shield and traps Ban, Jin, and Ran inside. The three try their best to stop Killer Droid. Ban and Ran activate their special modes: Knight Mode and Burning Mode. Minerva even finds what appears to be a weak spot on Killer Droid's chest. In the end it proves to be useless. Killer Droid causes the team to retreat because of his guns and blades and knocks all three of the LBX's out. With the LBX's defeated Killer Droid's shield comes down. The group retreats back to the Observatory where Professor Yamano begins upgrades immediately. However, Alan Worthen's not satisfied though. He scans the area and finds the observatory. Suspecting that's where Achilles Deed has run off to, Alan sends a giant army of brainjacked LBX's to attack the observatory. | |||

With the army of LBX's at the door steps the group contacts Otacross and asks him to scan for a control computer. Otacross is unable to locate one because the group is being led by a control LBX. With their LBX's being upgraded the kids have no choice but to get spare LBX's from the lab. They fight and destroy a few of the LBX's, but the real trouble begins when Killer Droid shows up. He eliminates all the controlled LBX's and then targets the spare LBX's. He also knocks out the power. Professor Yamano is forced to stop work on Liu Bei, Triton, and Jeanne D and focus on Elysion, Perseus, and Minerva's upgrades with only 30 minutes of emergency power. Killer Droid takes out the spare LBX's with ease and then powers down until Professor Yamano shows up with the upgraded trio. Killer Droid activates his K Dome battle field and traps Ban, Hiro, Ran, and Professor Yamano inside it. Hiro tries his special Strike Mode, but Perseus inflicts no damage to Killer Droid. Professor Yamano tells the kids to go to Dock Mode instead. The three LBX's fuse together and become Sigma Orbis. All three have control over parts of Sigma Orbis. Ban is in charge of maneuvering, Ran defense, and Hiro attacking. Killer Droid finds himself unable to land a single hit on Sigma Orbis, and Hiro finishes off Killer Droid with Sigma Orbis's finisher ε Drive Sword. After the battle, Professor Yamano stays in Europe and the kids return to NICS headquarters with all of them having upgraded LBX's. They are surprised though when Otacross reveals that Killer Droid is not a weapon of the Detectors. Instead, it is the creation of a new threat. | |||

The group tries to master the new flexibility of their LBX's while Ban, Ran, and Hiro try to master usage of Sigma Orbis. When Hiro falls for a trap that causes Sigma Orbis to lose, Ban begins to yell and claims that Hiro always attacks too fast without thinking of the danger. Cobra hears the argument outside and gives them the afternoon off to cool their heads. The groups divide into sets of two to go have some fun or contemplate events. Hiro and Yuuya head to Geek Street where Hiro hopes to collect rare Senshiman action figures. Yuuya tags along hoping to learn about some of the shows he has never seen, having had no real childhood. They get what Hiro wanted to get, but some of the geeks present recognize them and ask them to battle. As neither of them had brought their LBX's they get a couple of loaners to do battle. Meanwhile, Jin talks with Ban and helps him realize he cannot control all the attacking and force someone else to adjust their pace. Back at the geek shop all 5 people that recognized Yuuya and Hiro participate in a 5-on-2 battle. Without having Perseus, Hiro begins to realize what true teamwork is. Yuuya leads 4 of the guys in a distraction maneuver while Hiro takes out the lone shark. 4-on-2 seems a little more reasonable as Hiro and Yuuya each are able to dispose of 2 of their opponents. As everyone returns to NICS both Ban and Hiro ask for one more battle to end the day. It's a 3-on-1 battle of Jeanne D, Triton, and Liu Bei against Sigma Orbis. Ban leaves Hiro to deciding all attack patterns while Ran decides all defense maneuvers. The scheme works as the group is able to get Jeanne D on her own and then eliminate her. Triton and Liu Bei try a double attack only to get eliminated by Sigma Orbis's lasers. The groups congratulate each other on their new found teamwork when Hiro and Yuuya announce they are entering the Big City Extras LBX competition. Everyone thinks of joining until they learn that cosplay is a mandatory requirement. Hiro and Yuuya end up being the only ones to enter. | |||

As the BC Extras tournament begins, Ban and his friends decide to go watch, but Jessica cannot stand seeing all the cosplay and retreats before the first match can begin. Hiro and Yuuya head back for the competition with Hiro dressed as Senshiman and Yuuya dressed as another member from the series, but when Hiro criticizes Yuuya's costume it makes Yuuya a little upset, as he knows nothing about cosplay. Hiro's teammate changes when Shirley, dressed as Senshigirl, enters the picture. Hiro and Shirley team up to form the Cosmic Hero Senshiman team. Yuuya is a little upset about being left behind, but he quickly meets Shirley's original teammate, a young girl named Alice. He agrees to team up with Alice. The teams are divided into two blocks. Cosmic Hero Senshiman team ends up in A Block with Hiro and Alice, the Revenge Corps from Hell, over in B Block. Yuuya learns Alice has never battled with LBX's, only provided support, and he alters his fighting style to make them the most efficient team possible. Cosmic Hero Senshiman team easily advances to the finals and becomes the A Block champion, but Yuuya and Alice are met with a huge obstacle in the semifinals. A masked team known as Team Ota has been destroying opponents one after the other. They finally unveil themselves in the semifinals, and it's none other than Otared and Otacross. Jin sneaks out of the arena before the second round begins, and Yuuya alters his cosplay costume for each round throughout. | |||

Otacross transforms into Master Ota to begin the final battle. Team Ota changes up their LBX's and break out Perfect ZX3 and Perfect ZX4. The two use overwhelming synchronization to overwhelm Liu Bei, but Shirley comes out and makes Alice realize what she's always lacked is boldness. Alice decides to be bold and has her Gray Maid take on Perfect ZX4 1-on-1. Otared is surprised by the confidence and speed Alice shows, but is even more shocked when Alice manages to break over Perfect ZX4. Otacross fights Yuuya with everything he has, but Yuuya realizes what his love is since he never had a real childhood. Liu Bei gains a boost of speed and confidence, and the Revenge Corps from Hell move onto the final. Otacross acts out a quick death scene that makes everyone in the audience cry until he gets a phone call saying one of his disciples has found the perfect customizing parts for his first LBX Sakura. The finals begin. Yuuya once again comes out in a new cosplay, this time as his own LBX – Liu Bei. The new confidence Alice has gained allows them to go 1-on-1 with Shirley and Hiro, and when Shirley's Kunoichi and Hiro's Perseus crash, Yuuya is able to finish them off with his White Tiger finisher. Yuuya and Alice are named champions. As the kids leave, they get a call from Otacross about an LBX rebellion that has just started in Campbellen, Australia, and they must leave to stop it ASAP. | |||

The team arrives in Campbellen and witness the destruction the LBX's are causing from the Duck Shuttle. Otacross is unable to locate the control computer, so Ban, Hiro, and Ran launch Elysion, Perseus, and Minerva on Riding Saucers to find the best ways to attack the LBX's in the city. Along the way, Hiro nearly crashes into an automatic blimp flying around the city. Detector finally comes on and informss the world that Campbellen is but the first city in his plan for world domination. From Campbellen he will take control of the whole Australian nation and then eventually the whole world. Otacross is finally able to lock onto the control computers EM waves, but he learns there are four readings. They are coming from the four automated blimps floating around the city. The team thinks they can handle 3 of them, but they are unsure what to do with the fourth. Reinforcements arrive as President Zaizen sends Yagami and his team in the Eclipse to assist in the battle. Along with them is Ami and her new Pandora. Otacross hacks into the 4 blimps computers and forces them to land. The groups then leave the Duck Shuttle and the Eclipse in teams of two to do battle. Ban and Hiro enter the first blimp where they find Gouda is now a slave player. Jin and Yuuya enter blimp two where they find Daiki. Ran and Jessica team up in blimp three where Otasilver is the slave player. Finally, Ami and Yagami infiltrate blimp four and run into Yamaneko. The teams get trapped in D-Eggs and are forced to battle the slave players who use familiar, yet different LBX's – Hakai-O Dogma, Nightmare Fear, Bibinbird Chaos, and Bloody Ribbon. | |||

The battles between the Slave Players and the agents of NICS intensify, but in the end Ban and his friends walk out with the victories thanks to the finishers Holy Lance, Ocean Blast, Homura Kuzushi, and Souken Rangaki. The Eclipse picks up Gouda while the Duck Shuttle picks up Daiki, Otasilver, and Yamaneko, much to the relief of Otacross. Hiro notices that all four blimps are from the Ocean Museum locally and thinks that it might have something to do with Detector. The group goes to investigate and finds that Asuka has been turned into a slave player. Ban and Hiro fight Asuka and Vampire Cat but try to remain cautious because of her strength. Detector watches the battle carefully and decides to send someone in. The person ends up being Kazuya, who is teamed with Achilles Deed. Asuka sees the collar and assumes that Kazuya is on her side, but Black Achilles uses Black Storm in Demonic Mode to break over Vampire Cat. Kazuya takes off the collar and reveals he is not a slave player, much to Ban's relief, but he reveals that he has been working with Detector because they have found a greater threat. Afterwards Detector reveals himself to be none other than Professor Yamano. Professor Yamano reveals that the Ocean Museum has been secretly manufacturing missiles for a super weapon. Ocean Museum is owned by none other than Omega Dain, who also owns the super weapon. The super weapon they have created is the Paradise Satellite. The group hesitates believing Professor Yamano until they see the weapons themselves. Ban confront his father on turning the LBX's evil and destroying many people's dreams, but a temporary truce is called for when they learn Omega Dain is about to make another move. Professor Yamano is also confronted by Asuka as she questions why he turned her into a slave player. Professor Yamano reveals that while he did make the others into slave players, Asuka was made a slave player by Omega Dain as they tried to protect their weapon. | |||

The team is able to shut down the missiles and Ocean Museum is turned over to the Australian government. Asuka decides to join the NICS team to get revenge on Omega Dain for turning her into a slave player. Kazuya and Professor Yamano are also brought on board, bringing the team up to 9 LBX fighters. Secretary Kaios informs Professor Yamano that he will be tried for his terrorist acts, but not until the possibility of war ends. First they must stop Omega Dain's plans. Professor Yamano instructs NICS to search the control computers he hacked for information on Paradise being a secret military base. The group finds no definitive evidence that Paradise is a military base. However the Seekers base reveals a shocking truth. By further delving into the records, they find Paradise has occasionally let off mysterious energy aimed right at nations that have opposed A-Nation's power plants. The group realizes that Paradise must have a laser firing system that is doing the destroying. Professor Yamano instructs NICS to search for the tanker Future Hope, believing it operates Paradise. The tanker is found, but a large radar device keeps the team from getting close. With no other choice 8 of the kids use Riding Saucers while Kazuya just uses Achilles Deed's flight system. The group is launched out of the Duck Shuttle. Thousands of enemy LBX's come out of Future Hope to block the passage as the episode ends. | |||

The attack on Future Hope begins with a battle in the skies. The automated enemy LBX's prove to not have the skills needed to stop the kids LBX's. Ran and Asuka simultaneously land on Future Hope and get attacked by ground LBX's that have been hiding. Ami makes the save. The boys and Jessica finish off the air LBX's and then join the other three in defeating the ground LBX's. Duck Shuttle lands on Future Hope, and the groups decide to divide into two teams. Professor Yamano will lead Ban, Kazuya, and all the girls except Jessica to what they believe is the control room while Cobra will lead Hiro, Jin, Yuuya, and Jessica to a second room that has high computer readings coming from it. At the center of the ship, the teams get ambushed in a missile room. Asuka, Jessica, and Ran stay behind to take out the new enemy LBX's while Ban, Kazuya, and Ami head up with his father toward the control room. Cobra leads Hiro, Jin, and Yuuya to the second room where they find Hiro's mom, Professor Haruka Ozora programming a new supercomputer called Adam and Eve. Hiro criticizes his mom for getting too caught up in her work and ignoring all the terrorist activities Omega Dain has done. She informs them the only way to shut down Future Hope is in the control room. Doctor Mummy watches the groups' progress from the control room and tells everyone to evacuate the ship after putting it in lockdown. Professor Ozora has Adam and Eve access Omega Dain's hidden files and reads what activities they have truly been performing. She decides to leave Omega Dain after shutting down Adam and Eve, but first she will help the group destroy Future Hope. Professor Yamano, Ban, Ami, and Kazuya make it to the control room where Doctor Mummy greets them. Ban recognizes that Doctor Mummy is covered in bandages and has the same hair color that Lex did. As the episode ends, Ban asks Doctor Mummy if he is Lex in disguise. | |||

Ban and company confront Doctor Mummy, believing him to be Lex. Doctor Mummy sends out a Killer Droid to take care of Elysion, Achilles Deed, and Pandora. The group gets trapped in the battlefield and decides to use their speed and agility to aggravate Killer Droid until Hiro and Ran can arrive and form Sigma Orbis. Hiro, Jin, and Yuuya advance toward the control room but get surrounded by LBX's. When their LBX's get cornered, Vampire Bat ambushes some of the LBX's from behind. Shortly thereafter, Jeanne D and Minerva do likewise. The six LBX's combined overwhelm Omega Dain's LBX fleet, allowing them to once again advance towards the control room. Over at Omega Dain, Kirito finds evidence on their computer that supports the idea that Lex is Doctor Mummy. He also finds that Omega Dain is tied to someone in the presidency. He decides to take this knowledge to Alan Worthen so he can complete the Cyclops AI he's working on. Back on Future Hope, Kazuya accidentally shoots the wires on Killer Droid's feet, causing him to slow down. Ami uses this opportunity to shoot Killer Droid in the chest and weaken the shield surrounding them. Killer Droid raises up in a frenzy and reboots. Elsewhere on the ship, Doctor Ozora powers down Adam and Eve and apologizes for them having to suffer from Omega Dain's plan because of their innocence. Hiro and the others arrive, and Killer Droid senses their LBX's so it expands the shield to encompass the newcomers. Ban, Hiro, and Ran try to form Sigma Orbis, but Killer Droid would not let their LBX's get close to each other. The others decide to use a coordinated attack on Killer Droid's leg wires to slow it down enough to allow Sigma Orbis to form. At the President's office Jessica's father arrives and forces his way into the office. He reveals Omega Dain's hidden weapon and reveals that someone in the Presidency is working with them. Back at Omega Dain, Kirito makes it to Alan Worthen's office and finds it empty. As he prepares to leave, he sees blood on the floor. Kirito runs over to the blood and discovers Alan Worthen who is now dead. Back on Future Hope, Sigma Orbis transforms and destroys Killer Droid with one shot. Doctor Mummy flees, but before Professor Yamano can power down the computer, Doctor Ozora arrives and makes them let her do it. The ship is programmed to explode if any unauthorized users get on the computer. As she begins powering down the ship, she learns a shocking secret. Secretary Kaios is called and informed that Vice President Alfeld Gardyne is the spy in the presidency. Alfeld calls in support from Bishop, Omega Dain's computer technician, and reveals he is actually an assassin who has killed Alan Worthen. His goal now is to give the Presidency to Alfeld, which means Secretary Kaios and the President have just become new collateral damage in his plan. The two are taken away by the infiltration spies and Alfeld laughs at their predicament. | |||

Alfeld forces the President and Secretary Kaios to accompany him to the National Defense Base, a defense base which controls all satellites for A-Nation. After entering the base the President and Secretary Kaios are introduced to Doctor Mummy, whom Alfeld refers to as Lex. Over on Future Hope, Doctor Ozora finishes powering down the base when Hiro receives one of his visions of the future. Hiro foresees a scenario where the President and Secretary Kaios perish in an explosion at the National Defense Base. Jessica recognizes the description of the building Hiro describes and gets him to confirm it is the National Defense Base. The team boards the Duck Shuttle and departs for the National Defense Base. Along the way, Cobra is able to hack into the base's cameras, with the help of Professor Yamano, and they confirm the President and Secretary Kaios are being held there. Back at the National Defense Base, Alfeld questions the President on the code to access the satellite controls. The President refuses to give him the codes, and he says they will be doing this in a while. As the Duck Shuttle flies toward the National Defense Base, Professor Yamano is asked some questions by Doctor Ozora and the kids. One of the questions he gets asked is how he was able to be Detector when the kids were in England standing next to him. Kazuya admits that it was a pre-recorded segment and that he was helping Professor Yamano by that time. As they get closer Takuya expresses a concern about getting the Duck Shuttle close enough with being detected. Otacross finds a path in the canyon that will keep the Duck Shuttle off the National Defense Base's radar, and Metamo R flies them through that route. Unluckily for the group LBX's have been dispatched around the National Defense Base in case something like this happens. Ban, Hiro, and Ran are forced to launch their LBX's on the Flying Saucers to do battle with the Defense Base LBX's. | |||

After landing, the groups divides into 3 teams to infiltrate the Defense Base. Team 1 is Jessica, Asuka, Yuuya, and Takuya. Team 2 id Ban, Hiro, Ran, and Professor Yamano. Team 3 consists of Jin, Ami, Kazuya, and Cobra. While the groups make their way up three canyons to sneak into the base, Otacross and Professor Ozora find the best infiltration route for the base using a video game simulation. Words reaches the Defense Base that one platoon of their LBX's has been eliminated, so they send an army of LBX's down the canyon to try and slow everyone down. Jessica, Asuka, Yuuya, Jin, Ami, and Kazuya are all spotted by the defense LBX's and are forced to fight. Ban, Hiro, Ran, and Professor Yamano spot the defense LBX's before they are spotted and hide behind a rock where they would not be seen. The defense LBX's give up on them. Professor Yamano spots a side canyon trail that will take them to the same location without getting caught, so Ban and company go up that trail. Professor Ozora successfully finds a way through the case to the command center and sends the data to the teams. Ban sends Elysion in to knock out the fans, and then the team begins sneaking through the base. All is going well until Hiro trips in the vehicle assembly area and causes some noise. Groups come rushing to capture them, but the other two teams arrive and cause a distraction, allowing Ban and his team to make it to the command center's entryway. As they arrive at the entryway they are confronted by Lt. Jack Gelato, leader of the Fire Sweets LBX squad. He uses one of Professor Yamano's original creations, Proto I to engage the guys in a D-egg battle. Proto I has amazing speed and a special mechanism known as the High-Dimensional Multiple Joint System that lets it flip when it gets attacked from both sides. | |||

Proto I proves to be too strong for Ban, Hiro, and Ran to handle. However Professor Yamano notices Proto I still has a problem with overheating. Ban proposes the merge to form Sigma Orbis, but Professor Yamano tells him to wait until they have only around 10% power remaining. If they can cause Proto I to overheat, they have a chance of beating him with Sigma Orbis. Minerva gets severely damaged, but Ban and Hiro use Elysion and Perseus to distract Proto I until it's time to merge. With only 10% power remaining, the group merges into Sigma Orbis. With roughly only 5% power remaining Proto I finally overheats and Sigma Orbis is able to beat him. The group shows Jack Gelato proof of the President and Secretary Kaios having been brought in, and he decides to help the group. Jack tries to enter the passcode to access the command center, but it has been changed, and the President and Secretary Kaios are trapped inside. Alfeld, Doctor Mummy, and Bishop are seen boarding the space shuttle at the base as they were unable to gain the needed passcode, but they seem unfazed. Ban and company use Sigma Orbis's finisher to open the door, and Secretary Kaios and the President escape with only 5 seconds to spare before the command center explodes. The group races to the shuttle's control room and the shuttle's launch pad as two different teams to try and stop the launch. Professor Yamano is able to hack part of the ship's system and tries to dump the fuel, but instead the Command Center's computers all power down. The ship launches as Alfeld heads toward space. Secretary Kaios then announces they will return to NICS immediately and re-equip the Duck Shuttle so the kids can pursue them into space and stop Paradise permanently. | |||

After dropping off Secretary Kaios and the President, the team heads to a secondary NICS facility to modify the Duck Shuttle for space travel. Meanwhile, in space, Alfeld, Doctor Mummy, and Bishop board Paradise and Doctor Mummy is tasked with starting up Paradise. Doctor Mummy succeeds, and Alfeld begins to laugh. While Duck Shuttle is being updated, Professor Yamano announces that Minerva will be getting upgrades to make her worthy of space travel. He also reveals that they have been given two Proto I's by Jack Gelato and that these LBX's will be customized for Ban and Hiro. Detector returns, though everyone suspects it is actually Alfeld. Detector orders the world to surrender and vows to show everyone the Detectors' real power. Alfeld uses the Paradise satellite to destroy an unmanned A-Nation Island. He then gives everyone a 6-hour deadline to surrender or he will destroy their nations one-by-one. Secretary Kaios and the President think about what they should do when the NICS main headquarter computer goes into lockdown and traps everyone in the facility. Alfeld comes on and announces the President has been kidnapped by Detector but that A Nation will continue to fight the terrorists. The people rally and support his words. Secretary Kaios learns that the direct communication with Duck Shuttle is still active and contacts the group. Doctor Ozora informs him that the lockdown probably means NICS will be the next target. She also reveals it takes 6 hours to recharge the satellite cannon. Duck Shuttle's renovations are completed and Professor Yamano begins construction on an upgraded Minerva. After the Duck Shuttle loads onto the launch pad many enemy LBX's begin attacking. The kids, minus Ran, launch on the Riding Saucers and start taking out many of the LBX's, but they are overwhelmed. When the launch pad gets attacked, Hiro and Ban decide to sacrifice their Riding Saucers to keep it safe. Triton and Liu Bei save Elysion and Perseus. The kids reboard the Duck Shuttle and launch only seconds before the launch pad is destroyed, but they make it into space safely. | |||

After making it into space, Doctor Ozora reveals that with Paradise's computer reactivated, they will face a dangerous laser defense system. Otacross comes up with the idea that they can create a dodging program and avoid the lasers successfully so they can infiltrate Paradise. Otacross and Doctor Ozora begin working on the new program. Meanwhile the kids are reminded that their LBX's must remain on the Flying Saucers and use various long range guns or they will lose their LBX's to space forever. The exception to this is Achilles Deed and the newly remodeled Minerva Kai, which is presented back to Ran. After giving Ran Minerva Kai, Professor Yamano returns to working on new LBX's for Ban and Hiro. Enemy LBX's begin to attack, and everyone launches except Ban and Hiro. The damage Elysion and Perseus suffered from the sacrifice of their Flying Saucers has penetrated their cores, making them unable to be used. Minerva Kai and Achilles Deed do their best to take out any enemy LBX's that get too close while the others fly out further, but Duck Shuttle comes under attack. Too much damage to Duck Shuttle would make it unable to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. Professor Yamano completes the modifications to the Proto I's, and Ban and Hiro launch Ikaros Zero and Ikaros Force. Ikaros Zero and Ikaros Force easily dispose of the enemy LBX's while debuting a new mode they have – weapons form. Under weapons form, the Ikaros can turn into a weapon their partner can use to delete most enemies with a finishing function. In this episode, Ban turns Ikaros Zero into weapon form and Hiro destroys most of the enemy LBX's with the Finishing Function 00 Sword. The group has their LBX's reboard the Duck Shuttle. On Paradise Kirito vows to get the 3% data he needs to finish his program to bring his girlfriend back to life before Ban and company get there. Duck Shuttle comes into range of the laser defense system, and when the ship gets down to a 20% dodge rate, it looks like they will be destroyed. However Doctor Ozora and Otacross arrive with the dodging program and uploads Metamo R with it. He is able to get the Duck Shuttle to dodge all attacks and get under the satellite where there are no lasers, allowing the Ikaros and Minerva Kai to go out and create a passage for them. | |||

In order to get inside Paradise, Ikaros Force, Ikaros Zero, and Minerva Kai must create an opening. Ikaros Force goes into his weapon form and Ikaros Zero uses Meteor Breaker to penetrate the first layer of steel. Minerva Kai then uses her Extreme Flame Avalanche finisher to penetrate the second layer and create the needed opening. Ikaros Force then downloads the blue prints for Paradise, allowing Otacross to come up with a route to the command center. In order to make it to the command center the group will have to divide into 4 teams and destroy the limiters, thereby activating the elevator. Otacross leads the group into Paradise, but about halfway in they are cut off by Kirito. Kirito has decided to get the final 3% he needs to complete Cyclops AI through battle. He traps Ban, Hiro, and Ran in a D-Egg and sends out his Dequoo OZ, Hakai-O Kirito Custom, and Joker Kirito Custom to battle Ikaros Zero, Ikaros Force, and Minerva Kai. A glimpse of Kirito's past is seen. Many weeks ago, Kirito had a girlfriend named Amy. One rainy day, Kirito was running late to a date and a truck slid on the wet road and killed Amy right in front of his eyes. Kirito built an android version of Amy, but without the perfect brain it lacked the feelings that it was Amy. Alan Worthen offered Kirito the perfect brain on the pretext that he would become Omega Dain's test player. That perfect brain is part of Cyclops AI and sits now at 97%. The group begins to battle, and Ikaros Zero destroys Hakai-O Kirito Custom with Cosmo Slash. Minerva Kai destroys Joker Kirito custom with Extreme Flame Avalanche. Just before Ban can unleash Ikaros Force's finisher, the download reaches 100% and Dequo-OZ powers up abruptly. Ikaros Zero transforms into weapon mode and they unleash the Meteor Breaker to counter Dequoo-OZ's strength from the finisher X Blade. The two powerful finishers makes the D-Egg to go unstable and allows a mysterious LBX to infiltrate the battlefield. The mysterious LBX stabs Dequoo-OZ through the chest and steals the perfect brain. Alfeld comes on and thanks Kirito for his hardwork and relieves him of his duties, announcing that the perfect brain can only work in LBX's and could never work in an android. Alfeld's LBX flees with the perfect brain, and the kids are able to move on. Kirito collapses to the ground utterly devastated. As the group moves on they divide into teams. Ami goes with Kazuya, Jin with Yuuya, Jessica with Asuka, and Ban, Hiro, and Ran travel with Professor Yamano and Doctor Ozora. They destroy the limiters and activate the emergency elevators. As the groups arrive in the control corridor hallway an alarm sounds. The emergency doors to the control center close with only Ban's team making it through to the elevator. Seeing no other choice Ban's group takes the elevator to the control room where they are welcomed by Alfeld, Doctor Mummy, and Bishop with only 15 minutes left until the satellite can fire again. | |||

Ota X finds a way for the other teams to get out, while Ban and his team have a confrontation with Gardyne. He relates a story of how his father was wrongly accused of corruption, and his career destroyed. Alfeld's father died without realizing his dreams of a blissful future, devoid of corruption. He knew that his father's lack of power was what killed him. Therefore, he used all his power when he launched Operation Paradise. Lex then challenges Team Jin and Team Yuuya to a Killer Droid each. Gardyne meanwhile challenges Ban, Hiro and Ran to a battle against Zeus, the LBX with perfect brain. The teams defeat Dr. Mummy with their finishers. Adam and Eve suddenly finish their energy reload and lock onto their target, NICS. Gardyne orders Mummy to fire the laser, but he refuses. He binds them with a special gun of his, then reveals himself to be Mami Hiyama, Lex's little sister. Ban remembers Lex's final words about humans not being gods or beasts. Mami then continues Lex's dream. She then temporarily stuns Gardyne and Bishop. Using Lex's CCM and Zeus, she asks Ban for a challenge. | |||

Mami and Ban, Hiro and Ran continue their battle. Ran manages to land her attack function on Zeus' left leg. This weakness is exploited by Hiro and Ban to defeat Zeus. Haruka, meanwhile, talks to Adam and Eve, telling them to stop attacking NICS, but they seem to disobey. Mami then presses the button to fire the main laser, but nothing happens. Haruka then explains, relieved, that Adam and Eve actually did obey her commands. She then attempts to command them to manual shut down process, but Adam and Eve refuse, who have now become sentient. Dr. Yamano explains that the Adam and Eve AI only serve one purpose: thinking. They keep answering question on question, command on command. If this process is disturbed, they experience one emotion: death. Adam and Eve have learnt this by themselves. Adam and Eve then use Zeus, and Mami launches a Killer Droid, Pegasus, and Zeus harnesses it as the episode comes to a close. | |||

Miss Haruka says to Dr. Yamano that it is impossible to beat Adam and Eve because it contains their battle data. Dr. Yamano says her that when Hiro's concentration level reaches a certain limit, he performs much faster and Adam and Eve doesn't know about it. Ban turns Ikaros Zero into weapons form and Hiro attacks Killer Droid Pegasus. Later, the vice versa happens and Ban uses Meteor Breaker and destroys Killer Droid Pegasus. After that, Miss Haruka permanently deletes Adam and Eve and everyone returns to Earth. The police arrests Mami, Alfeld and Bishop. The President thanks and appreciates Ban and others. | |||

If that were not enough LBX's begin showing up all over the place and begin attacking the audience. Luckily the Duck Shuttle shows up. Ban, Hiro, Ran, Jin, Kazu, Ami, Asuka, Yuuya, and Jessica launch their LBX's and begin battling the enemies LBX's. A mysterious boy named San controls the LBX's, but he decides to save his wildcards for another day. Ban and Hiro communicate with Tenma and the other soccer players, and they come up with a plan to destroy the enemy LBX's. Once the enemy LBX's are destroyed another new girl appears. She casts some sort of spell that causes everyone in the world to start disappearing. Luckily Fei arrives in the Inazuma Bus and saves Shunsei Inazuma Japan. They follow the Duck Ship to the woods where they introduce themselves and quickly become friends. A little later on a scream is heard in the woods. Ban, Hiro, and Tenma rush to the scene where they save a girl named Fran from two LBX's. The group quickly begins to know Fran and thinks she is becoming their friend. It is all a setup though. Fran tries to make them all disappear in the night, but their hope and goals protect them. Fran realizes the only way to defeat them is by causing dissent within the ranks. Slowly dissent is caused. First Fran has a killer droid destroy Pandora and Achilles Deed, which causes Kazu and Ami to disappear. Then she plants evidence that will turn the two groups against each other. What she had not counted on was Shinsuke watching her planting the evidence in the tent in middle of the last night. He reveals this to everyone, and they turn against Fran. Fran summons Asta and San revealing that the three are the responsibles for what is happening right now, and the three challenge everyone to a soccer (against Asta) and LBX (against San) match at coordinates G223.

Fran goes ballistic when she sees her brothers lose and attacks both groups with her own LBX, Keshin Armed, Mixi Max and soccer special technique that erases everything.

The groups say goodbye before disappearing and go back to their worlds where they can once again enjoy soccer, LBX battles, and for Fran she can be reunited with her siblings and create a world full of flowers and joy. | |||
