Three's a Crowd.Tyler and Cobra arrive at the base, but Curt has left. Tyler decides to restore the CIO and contacts Reyna to come to assemble the old base. Cobra reveals all he knows about the detectors, which is not much more than has been shared. He reveals that the LBX's are being taken over through a process called brainjacking. The brainjacking occurs through the M Chip which the ILBXF 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 that afternoon. Over in Shibuya Laura Hansaki wins the martial arts tournament and is presented Minerva. After the tourney she goes to fight her friend Yuki outside when Director 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 Fiend, a black Kunoichi, and a black Hunter. Van and Hiro arrive and help Laura take out the Kunoichi and Hunter, but Achilles Fiend escapes. Heather is made a member of the team and is taken to the CIO base. Back at the CIO base Tyler contacts Devin and the Mo's and asks him to investigate the ILBXF. He also tells him he is bringing back the CIO to fight. The Xtroler's for Amy and Kaz are detected. They appear to be on a plane headed to the AU, but before precise coordinates can be located the signals are cut off. Van and company decide to head to the AU to investigate. That evening Laura, Hiro, and Van acquire permission to go to the AU and search for Kaz and Amy. Contains scenes from episodes 3 and 4 of Danball Senki W.
