Plot
Masquerade manipulates two boys, Kosuke and Takashi, into using his Doom Cards against the Battle Brawlers. He tells them that if they defeat the Brawlers, he will reunite their friend Mui with her brother. Wanting to help their friend, the boys track down Runo and Marucho, who were at the airport picking up Alice, and challenge them to a battle. Meanwhile Dan is lost in the airport and runs into Mui's brother, who notices that he is talking to Drago. The battle heats up between the two Brawlers and Kosuke and Takashi with the Brawlers not doing that well. Luckily, Alice, who is quite skilled in battle techniques, guides them to victory. It is unknown if Mui is reunited with her brother, but Dan, who is annoyed that he missed a brawl, is reunited with Runo, Marucho and Alice.
