Gao, Tasuku, and the other participants of the ABC Cup are invited on a cruise ship party hosted by Kyoya Gaen, who is working with Sophia to look for a candidate Buddyfighter to use the Dark Core and Disaster Force. Later, Kyoya tries to present a special rare card to be given to a Buddyfighter of his choosing, but it goes missing. Although it seemed as if the card was stolen, it turns out that the card was in fact the monster Dragowizard, Qinus Axia who had gone off on his own because he did not want to be given away.
