The next morning, Ryllis met up with Tsubasa and began their training as ordered.
During the training, Ryllis could not keep her eyes away from Tsubasa. At first she thought it was because of her usual behavior; to watch his performance and determine his strength. But this was different. She debated with herself on whether she loves him or not. At last she came to the conclusion that she only admired him.
A little while later, Tsubasa was summoned to Doji's office for his first assignment. He was asked to spy on their enemies' progress and was shown their pictures.
At this moment Yu turned his head to the screen and noticed that 'Ben-ben', 'Kenchi' and 'Yo-yo' are friends with Gingka too.
"So Tsubasa, together with Yu, monitor them and report back."
"I am sure I can do it all by myself" Tsubasa replied looking at Yu.
"Hey, are you saying that because you think I am small huh? Well listen up, I can complete this mission in less than half of the time you take."
"Stop bickering. I need both of you on this mission, and remember that you are doing this for Ryuga. Now you may go."
Meanwhile, Gingka's interview went horribly wrong for he rushed up to the camera and exclaimed loudly,
"HEY KENTA! CAN YOU SEE ME?"
In the meantime, the DJ got to the point, while trying to get him off the camera, "Gingka let's get ...hmp… straight to the point. So …hmp… what's the secret of your power?"
"The secret to my power? Oh right, the secret to my power is MADOKA'S HOMEMADE HUMBURGERS. Hey Madoka, you watchin' ?"
Finally the DJ was able to tear him away form the camera (to the relief of Kenta and Madoka who were watching the broadcast) and announced the details of the upcoming battle,
"THE NEXT TOURNAMENT WILL HAVE TWO CONTESTS GOING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AT GLEN VALLEY-IN THE FOREST AND THE STREAM!"
Kenta decided to participate and while waiting in the line he bumped into Hyoma who was also waiting for his turn. When asked about his decision, Kenta replied that the Forest Match is better suited for him and Flame Saggittario.
"In that case I will participate in the Stream Match."
Seeing that Kenta was confused Hyoma explained, "I think it will be fun if we are together because I also want to see the results of your training. But it would be better if we don't compete for the same points, don't you think?"
"Yeah, you're right"
At that moment an eagle flew overhead.
Soon the battles start.
Hyoma and Kenta advancded through each round with ease.

Tsubasa and Yu arrived at the entrance to find that the match had already started. On seeing them the receptionist protested,
"Uh….the match has already started, sir. You can't go inside"
"Well, so which one would you like to compete?" Tsubasa asked Yu, ignoring the receptionist.
"Since I have battled Kenchi before, I prefer the Stream Match" replied Yu, also ignoring her.
"Okay, in that case, I will participate in the Forest Match"
So, despite her protests, both bladers' went into the match.
Meanwhile, a fierce battle was going on to decide Hyoma's final competitor. Between the sounds of metals clashing, the blader's heard a cry,
"HEY! Let me join TOO!" and the match was interrupted for a beyblade had knocked the others out.
Hyoma looked up to see that the intruder was Yu – the winner of the Survival Battle.
Hyoma agreed to battle; on one condition – if they battle on his preferred ground i.e. the Raging Rapids Stage.

On the other hand, although Kenta had already won the Forest Match, he accepted Tsubasa's challenge, much to the dismay of the DJ.
" 3 "
" 2 "
" 1 "
"LET IT RIP!"
Yu was pleased with Hyoma's level of skill, for he dodged all of his attacks with Wind Storm Assualt, "I can't wait to have fun."
However Hyoma revealed that he picked the stage to prevent Yu from using his Ant Lion Sand Trap move because if it is used, then both their beyblades would fall into the water. Hyoma decided to end their battle with his special move – Horn Throw Destruction.
But he was in for a surprise when Yu used Sonic Wave. The move protected Libra from water. "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE LIBRA! YOU HEAR ME!"
Hyoma had miscalculated and decided to give it his all in the last attack. But despite his best efforts Yu emerged as the winner.

Kenta's attempts to attack Tsubasa proved to be a failure as the latter dodged all his attacks. Soon Tsubasa studied all of Kenta's attacks and decided it was time for him to go on the offensive.
Tsubasa sent his bey – Earth Eagle 145WD – high up in the air to perform an aerial attack sending Flame Saggittario flying. The attacks were so relentless that Saggittario was not able to land on the ground.
Unable to think clearly, Kenta turned away.
Tsubasa yelled at him for turning away and pointed out that Saggittario had not given up yet.
That got Kenta's attention and was able to move his bey to safety. He attacked Eagle with Flame Claw but failed as the match was won by Tsubasa with Eagle's special move – Metal Wing Smash.
At the end of the tounament, Hyoma and Kenta consoled each other. Hyoma realised that he should have learnt his lesson during his battle with Gingka; he thought that he had the advantage with the location but it wasn't enough. Kenta also learnt that he needs to give it his all and not quit when things get tough; 'just like Gingka'. Both of them accepted the fact that there were many things left to learn and went on their ways.
Back at the Dark Nebula Headquarters Doji congratulated Tsubasa and Yu on a job well done.
Yu brushed it off saying that it was easy altough Tsubasa warned him that it'll probably not be so easy next time.
Ignoring Tsubasa's comment, Yu asked Doji for another assignment. He had a lot of fun battling Hyoma and even suggested battling with Tsubasa.
Tsubasa put him off saying that he has no interest playing with little kids. Yu became annoyed and started a quarrel.
Doji watched on, thinking that both Yu and Tsubasa are progressing 'helping' Ryuga and L-Drago very much.

A/N: Sorry if my dialogues didn't match the ones in the anime. I have forgotten almost everything; I even had to look up on Wikipedia. And, before I forget, this story is based on Metal Fusion.
