With the Neathian moles making themselves known, they begin kidnapping brawlers from Bakugan Interspace. The puzzling part is that each brawler is eventually returned to BI. Meanwhile, Sid and Zenet find their recruiting hard when Marucho puts out an announcement to everyone not to battle Sid, Lena, Mason, Jesse and Zenet. In retaliation, Sid and Zenet challenge Dan and Ren to a battle. Ren is quickly taken out but Dan makes an easy comeback, eliminating both Zenet and Sid. In the second battle, Linehalt takes a hit for Drago, putting Ren out of the battle while leaving Dan and Drago on their own. Being outnumbered, Dan loses but gets to keep Drago. After the battle, Gill orders Sid to not engage the brawlers and to leave it to Ren, who states their plan is working perfectly.
