As they make their way through the city, Maru reveals that his grandfather gave him Guardian Leviathan, and it holds a special place in his heart. He also shares that he doesn't have many friends and that having his Beyblade taken away feels like losing a friend.

Meanwhile, DNA's Team Garcias plot to steal beys. They decide to use a woman named Ren to lure bladers into a fake tournament where they plan to steal the beys of their opponents. Back on the streets, Maru, Zyro, and Shinobu visit the local hobby store, hoping to find Guardian Leviathan.

Determined to get Maru's Beyblade back, Zyro and Shinobu decide to enter the fake tournament. They manage to win their first matches and advance to the finals. Along the way, they discover that other bladers have had their Beyblades stolen, and they begin to suspect foul play.

During the final round, Zyro and Shinobu find themselves facing off against DNA's Team Garcias. The Garcias reveal their true intentions and attempt to steal their Beyblades. However, Maru arrives just in time and exposes Ren's deceitfulness. Together, the three friends face off against the Garcias.

During their battle, Zyro and Shinobu realize the strength of their friendship and their Beyblade spirits. They work together seamlessly, communicating without words, and ultimately defeat the Garcias.
