As Dan and Baron safely make it back to New Vestroia, they find their base completely empty with no sign of Shun, Ace or Marucho anywhere. They discover that they are near Beta City and resolve to head there believing that Shun, Ace and Marucho have gone there. Meanwhile, as Spectra makes his return, the other Vexos are shocked to see that Mira is with him, saying that she has joined the Vexos. However, in her mind, she only wants to find out what Keith is really up to. Also, she discovers that Shun, Ace and Marucho have been captured and are being held hostage. She tries to release them. Dan and Baron sneak into Beta City and battle Mylene and Shadow. Meanwhile Mira is interrupted by Spectra who helps her release her friends, but he tells her that she owes him a debt. As the battle wages on, Baron is defeated defending Drago, who taps into the power of the Perfect Core, defeating Mylene and Shadow easily as well as destroying the dimension controller. Ace, Shun and Marucho reunite with Dan and Baron and they make their leave from Beta City. Later, Mylene accuses Spectra of her loss and the escape of the prisoners but Gus reminds her that she lost the battle, not him. Mira is still left wondering what her brother is up to.
