The Elite 8 battle of the Winner's Tournament continues with Gray vs. Yamato. Both of them tie in their first round, so they continue to round 2. Gray seems very confident going into round 2. Without waiting for the referee, both of them start the round early, without either of them knowing that the conveyor belt goes faster than it did before for this round.

After a fierce battle, both Yamato and Gray are very exhausted, but they manage to tie each other again. That means they have to go another round to settle it. While they prepare for round 3, Gray keeps thinking of his sister, lienna, in hopes of seeing her again. Meanwhile, Ababa is counting on Gray to win this battle. Otherwise, he's capable of doing the unthinkable.

As round 3 begins, Yamato has second thoughts about winning due to him having known the secret about Gray's sister, Lienna. In attempt to sabotage the match, Enjyu moves a switch that makes the conveyor belts go faster - a lot faster. The referee wants to call off the match, but both Yamato and Gray tell him they want to continue the match, anyway. As the match continues, Enjyu moves the switch even further, causing the conveyor belt to go faster. This causes both Gray and Yamato to fall down, they each have 1 pin standing, and the clock is still ticking. But as the clock reaches down to 1 second left, Yamato fires Cobalt Blade's Power Attack, effectively knocking down Gray's remaining pin, which wins him the match. But due to Enjyu having destroyed the switch that controlled the conveyor belt, it doesn't stop after the match was over, like it's supposed to. Due to his ankle getting injured, Gray is heading straight for the spikes at the end of the belt. But thanks to his quick thinking, Yamato manages to jump onto the table they were battling on and fire 3 B-Da Balls at the 3 spikes, which shatters them, leaving Gray safe from harm, or does it?

After the match every one returns to the cafe to rest up, eat and enjoy Yamato's victory little did they know grays condition.

Everyone was having a great time, throwing balloons in the air and Yamato trying to catch them, Bull raiding the buffet, Terry chatting with Mie, everyone else was having fun as Gray stood a lone in a dark corner thinking of his sister and how he was going to save her.

"What can I do?" He muttered to himself. "I have to find a way."

"Hey catch this one yamato." Terry called as he threw a balloon grays way.

"It's not getting away from me!" Yamato called back. Gray looked up and saw the balloon coming and caught it, but didn't see Yamato and they both crashed the floor.

"Aaaaargh!" Gray groaned.

"I'm sorry gray!" Yamato apologized. "Are you okay?"

"Ur… yeah…" Gray replied. "I'm fine…"

"Are you sure?" Yamato was worried now because gray was out of the shadows and he looked pale and his face was full of pain.

"Yes!" Gray snapped.

As he lifted himself up from the floor ignoring Terry's helping hand. Everyone stared blankly at him as he walked to the door. They didn't say anything till Gray had gone out closing the door behind him.

"What happened?" Armada asked.

"I haven't a clue." Yamato.

"Hey look what I found." Bull said as he came up behind Yamato.

It was Grays B Daman Chrome Zephyr.

"But that's not all." Bull went on. "Look."

They looked to see where Bull was pointing and gasped. There were droplets of blood leading away from where Gray had just been in the corner to the door.

"Gray…" Yamato whispered. "Gray!"

Yamato ran for the door, wrenching it open he ran outside calling Gray's name.

"Gray! Gray!?!" Yamato yelled into the darkening sky. He still yelled out into the night as everyone emerged from the café.

"Gra…!" He was cut short by Mie's hand clamped over his mouth.

"Yamato, please stop!" she said.

Yamato's eyes slowly stared down at his feet. Mie taking that he was going to stop let go.

Tears in his eyes he said "But Gray… he… he's hurt we have to find him…" he started to sniffle. "He's my best friend… I have to help him…"

"Come inside sweetie." Mie said gently, pulling Yamato back to the door. "We'll look tomorrow alright. There isn't much we can do in the dark and someone else might get hurt trying to look."

"But…" He began.

"No "butt's." she warned.

Yamato silently submitted and went back inside. Everyone who had come outside was now filing back in slowly all but Mie.

She stood there silently looking out at the horizon where the last rays of light came and slowly disappeared.

A light cold wind blew and she shivered. Rubbing her arms she thought 'Gray where are you? You have my little boy worried sick now.'

She sighed and went back inside to clean up. The party was now over because the atmosphere was now gloom filled.

But before she closed the door she could have sworn she saw a shadow dash for cover….
