| - The episode starts at Calthor's lair where Calthor is levitating in a meditating position in front of his throne with his eyes closed. At that point, Tivala comes in and asks permission to ask Calthor to speak. Calthor opens his eyes but they are glowing a deep purple instead of normal. Tivala immediately apologizes for her interruption and goes to leave but Calthor says do not worry - while my eyes are preoccupied, my ears are not so ask what you want. Tivala walks around him and asks what is he doing. Calthor says he is amassing a large amount of dark energy and transporting it to another location in order for it to serve a special purpose soon. Tivala starts to become curious and asks what purpose would that be for but then, Calthor's eyes shine bright and then return to normal. He goes to a standing position and says it is done and must be on his way but will say this to Tivala. It is for for a certain somebody whom he wishes to form a certain alliance with. As he starts to leave, Tivala asks what sort of alliance. Calthor turns to her with a sly look and says "An evil alliance" as he then leaves via Dimension Portal. The scene now shifts to the confrontation between the evil Spectra and the clone of Calthor that the real one put inside Spectra. The evil Spectra then asks how does Calthor plan to get himself and Helios out of this pathetic shell of himself when they can't even do it themselves. Calthor smiles and says quite simple actually but keep in mind that he's not the real Calthor - he is merely a copy implanted inside the real Spectra. The evil Spectra yells out I am the real Spectra - not that pathetic excuse of a Brawler. Calthor says keep your cool - you'll need it and plus, patience is a virtue. Cyborg Helios says all you have done is talk, talk, talk - why don't you prove what you are saying. Calthor says very well and his eyes glow for a minute and then, he fires a large mass of dark energy from his staff. As Spectra and Helios' admire it - Calthor says this energy was amassed by his real self to use in the creation of a physical body for the evil Spectra. However, it comes at a cost with Spectra asking what cost would that be. Calthor says while it has always been told that there must be a balance between light and dark - there can't be two of the same Spectra. The evil Spectra slams his fist on his chair's armrest and says very firmly let me make myself clear once again - I am the real Spectra Phantom as all the Helios say the same' that they are the real Helios - nothing more, nothing less. Calthor smiles and says they will have to battle each other as soon as the evil Spectra is freed and (as Calthor creates a chair of his own and sits down) there can only be two possible outcomes. Spectra says he has already figured that out - one of them has to fall and that certainly won't be him. Viper Helios says absolutely - they'll destroy that fool of a Bakugan that disgraces our name. Calthor is glad they are so optimistic about their chances, considered that they were defeated by him during that recent test of his. The evil Spectra says that he would have defeated him the first time - if it weren't for that Mechtogan of his coming in at the last second. Calthor agrees but says that will work to his advantage this time. Spectra asks what do you mean as Calthor says that Mechtogan - his name is Infinitor, I believe, was created from evil and only to fight for and serve evil. Suppose he would "switch" sides all of a sudden with Spectra grinning and saying yes, that would be helpful to him this time. Calthor says he thought so but then, the mass of dark energy starts to glow as Calthor stands up and says it is finished - time for the next phase. He then uses his staff to hurl the energy at the evil Spectra and Helios; which encases them in the energy and they feel strained. Spectra yells out that Calthor tricked him but Calthor says you have to endure it or else you won't be able to free yourself from this prison. After a few minutes, the energy leaves and Spectra is standing tall and all three Helios' are standing in their real forms. Calthor says it was successful and now they have a physical body once again. Calthor then goes back to his chair, sits down, puts his hands under his chin and clothes his eyes. After a few minutes, Spectra then asks what's the point of having a physical body without using it - is there something he's not telling them as he points to Calthor. Calthor stays quiet as Helios MK2 steps forwards and says he better explain himself. Calthor opens his eyes and says he said patience is a virtue - they have to wait for the final phase of his plan. Spectra asks what final phase as Calthor says "We are merely a lock and the key is already on it's way." The scene now shifts back to a research lab in Marucho's house; where Marucho, Spectra and Mira are all going over some data regarding the BakuArmor and the two new machines they received a while back: Teknocore and Replimaxus. Marucho says these two machines are incredible but nothing beats what Spectra can do, right Spectra. However, Spectra is currently distracted and still thinking about his failure in his test as a flashback happens with what Darkor said to him and what he did falling to the dark thoughts. At this point, Mira is saying hello to Keith and it startles Spectra a bit but um, yeah - what is it? Mira asks if he's okay with Spectra saying yeah - he's just been distracted lately. At that point, Lindsata and Baraxx come through the door with Lindsata sitting in the new hoverchair Marucho designed for her but she seems to be having some trouble manuevering it. After Marucho and Mira help her out, Marucho asks how are things going with the new chair with Lindsata saying she's not used to this type of thing but she'll figure out this flying contraption. As all four of them start talking, Spectra sneaks out the back door to go to his room. Mira turns around to ask him something but he isn't there - which causes her to worry a bit. The scene now shifts to Spectra's room, where Spectra walks in, takes off his mask and lies down on his bed looking up at the ceiling. At that moment, Helios lands on his chest and calls Spectra by his real name and asks what's on your mind, if it's what I think it is. Spectra says it's the same - he can't stop thinking about how he could have done better on that test and how he let everybody down. While Helios continues looking up, Spectra says he usually excels in everything, from brawling to technology, but for some reason - he failed this time. He says maybe Darkor was right about him and he is too great of a risk to the Brawlers and wonders if he ever did stray away from the evil path he had taken for so long. Helios then says listen to me closely Keith. Spectra listens as Helios says when they first met on New Vestroia (showing a flashback of them meeting each other and decided to become a team to further their goals) - they were both ambitious and goal-driven but they both followed the wrong path; through power, intimidation and showing no mercy to anyone. Helios realizes that they both have made many mistakes that they regret and if they could turn back the clock, they would both do it in an instant but they have to move on from the past and look on towards the future. But it's okay to look back on the past and remember to not make those same mistakes again. Helios then says something that perks Spectra's surprise - "In a way, we may still be partly evil". Spectra says how can he say that with Helios saying he wasn't finished explaining his theory. Spectra quiets down as Helios explains that while they changed to the right side - their ambitious desires still remain. Helios says he will wants to be the best Bakugan he can be - the Ultimate Bakuagn but he realizes he took the wrong path to try and reach it. He says when Drago told him a Bakugan becomes stronger naturally - he wishes he could take back what was done to his body and he had evolved the right way because things might have been different for him, but it's a choice he made and will live with. But he says if it weren't for that and Spectra's creative mind - the Brawlers and themselves would have never had the Battle Gear or the Battle Suits. Helios says even though they have done terrible things together - the goal now is to follow the right path; to defend and protect the innocent and to bring peace to everybody in the universe, not just the Bakugan. Spectra smiles and says Drago was right - you are becoming wiser. Helios says well yeah but don't tell everybody that with Spectra saying don't worry - he won't because it wouldn't keep up their image really well. Helios said you said it, partner as they both laugh together. Meanwhile, outside his room, Mira is listening and starts to get worried for Keith and wondering what she could do to help him but then, an alarm bursts out everywhere and Dan's voice is heard over the loudspeakers saying all Brawlers, report outside the front door immediately - there's an intruder outside. Inside Spectra's room - Spectra and Helios hear it and both say let's go. Spectra grabs his mask, puts it on and hurries out down the hallway, while Mira comes out of hiding. She is just standing there and wondering what will happen to Keith next. The scene now shifts back to the lab, where Marucho is just putting some firewalls on their intel in case of a break-in. Lindsata says she senses Calthor's prescence near - she should be there. Baraxx puts his hand on her shoulder and says you are in no condition to fight yet - I will go with the Brawlers to provide support. Lindsata thanks Baraxx and suggests Lindsata go back to the hospital wing. Lindsata says okay but she has trouble with Ginryu telling Lindsata to watch out for that first step. After she goes, Baraxx says they better join the others with Marucho saying okay and they both leave. After they leave, things are quiet but then, a face appears on the screen - revealing Dylan. He says finally, they left - now he can finally get cracking in here. He then transports himself into Interspace, where Brawlers are still hanging out and not knowing the danger outside. Dylan says he's surprised these wannabe Brawlers take for granted how much the Brawlers do for them - they couldn't be bothered. At that point, a young Brawler bumps into Dylan accidentally. The Brawler says he's sorry - he wasn't looking with Dylan saying no sweat, kid - here, have a lollipop and throws him one. The Brawler saying thanks man and runs off. Dylan says playing nice guy is such a boring job as he continues to walk through Interspace. He says things have sure gotten popular again since Mag Mel was defeated and same with that Wiseman guy. He says and once again - not as fun as it was before, so predictable, as he then arrives at a large building - the Brawlers headquarters in Interspace. He walks in and says it's a good thing they didn't change everything or else it wouldn't have been that easy to get in this time. He then goes over to the terminal and using his lollipop - it becomes a key again and he unlocks the database. He says okay - let's find out what you've been up to Brawlers. He then looks over everything that has occurred up till now saying whoa - he could get rich from stuff like the Suits and Destroyers - guess I'll have to find those the hard way. Suddenly, he finds a locked file labeled "Operation: Vexos Recovery". Dylan says ooh, sounds tempting and tries to open it but it's locked tightly. Dylan says nice try kiddies but there's nothing you can protect that I can't hack into. He then turns his fingers into flexible conduits and overrides the security controls on the file. It reveals some video clips and some tactical plans. Dylan says he loves film - wished he had brought popcorn along but oh well and clicks the 1st clip. The 1st clip is a playback of what happened to Mylene Farrow and Shadow Prove - the two Vexos who got themselves trapped in Interspace due to the Death Bomb mishap. Dylan says interesting, very interesting as he licks his lollipop - wonders what happened to those two. He then opens up some more files - revealing plans on getting them back by using a backdoor route to the inner workings of Interspace where they might be trapped. Dylan says he loves playing the bad guy and he thinks these two will do anything to escape where they are. He then finds out that the backdoor opening is in the abandoned arena. He closes everything back up and leaves the room. He soon arrives at the abandoned arena and takes his glasses off; using his eyes to scan for the opening. He finds it and opens it with the code he found in the files. The backdoor opens as Dylan jumps in and it closes behind him. Dylan then arrives in a circuit like place and says "So, this is where the magic happens - what fun!" He then says he better find those two soon or he might go away for good as he starts looking in the vast maze. Meanwhile, the scene shifts outside of Marucho's house where the Brawlers and Baraxx has already gathered outside with Spectra just coming out the door. Spectra says he hurried as fast as he could while gasping for breath and asking who the intruder is as Dan says take a look. Spectra looks and sees that Calthor is only 20 feet away from them as he says hello, Brawlers. Dan says come on man – if you want to get beaten again, all you had to do was ask with Baraxx pumping his fist into his palm while saying they are more than obliged to do that. Calthor smiles and says he has no intention to battle but somebody else he knows does. Shun asks who as Calthor points to Spectra and says maybe you should ask him. They all look at him but Spectra says he has no intention to battle either so what’s his point. Calthor chuckles not you but the one inside you. Spectra backs up and says no – he’s gone for good but Calthor says not exactly and holds out his palm, revealing the strange symbol from before. It fires a blast of dark energy at Spectra and Helios and attaches to them, causing them some pain. Baraxx tries to break it but his arm goes right through it. After a few minutes, Calthor disconnects the cord from Spectra and whips it around and lands it on the ground. Then, the dark energy starts to take shape again – revealing the evil Spectra and Helios! Everybody is in shock that there are two Spectras now with the real one being shocked even more and wondering how is this possible. Calthor says he happened to watch Spectra’s test with Darkor and he was most impressed with this Spectra’s skill and personality and it was a shame that he lost (with the evil one snickering a bit again) but it was only because of his new Mechtogan friend Infinitor. Everybody is shocked again with Dan saying you never told us about you getting a new Mechtogan with Spectra saying he didn’t want to mention it because it’s an evil Mechtogan – born out of the darkness that took him over during the test. Calthor says your friend is correct but he also forgot to mention that him succumbing to the dark thoughts is what lead to his failing the test. So, when he last battled them – he inserted a dark copy of himself into Spectra so that he could speak to his dark half and made an agreement with him. The evil Spectra says he now has his body but there is a twist – only one of them can exist in this world – One Spectra and one Helios with the three Helios’ saying that's right. Evil Spectra says so either you are going to destroy me, which I doubt you will, or I will destroy you - I'm going with option B as he puts on his Gauntlet. Dan says that’s not happening but evil Spectra says you better watch out Dan, because once he’s finished taking this imposter down – he’s coming after you and Drago and the Perfect Core energy will be his at last. Dan says yep – that’s the bad one with Mira, who just came outside, in shock and saying she can’t believe that’s been inside Keith all this time. Spectra says to Mira that he thought he had gotten rid of the darkness within in after what happened back with the Vexos but Darkor showed him that he had merely suppressed them. However, he won’t fall for them again. He then walks forward and says all right – if you want a brawl, you got one. Helios says all right – we’re finally going to crush the competition this time. Helios MK2 says don’t get your hopes up, old timer. Helios chuckles and says if anybody is an old timer - it's you three as Spectra gets ready. Munikis then comes forward and says he is ready as wellbut Spectra says thank you Munikis but this their fight. Munikis says all right then but if he needs help - don't hesitate to throw me as he flies back over to the rest of the Brawlers. Dan says hold up, I'll join you but Calthor then says no you won't as he erects a barrier around the battlefield. Dan asks hey, what gives as Shun touches it and says it's a force field with Baraxx saying this is a special field - no one else can enter or exit out until a winner is declared. Dan says in that case, good luck Spectra! - um, the good one! with everybody else cheering on as well. Drago says good luck Helios with Helios thanks Drago - he'll need it.Spectra says thank you my friends with the evil Spectra smiling and saying he had no friends and you won't need any when this is over. Spectra says bring it on with Calthor saying this will determine whom the real Spectra really is and who isn't. Meanwhile, in the multi-colored Dimension, the preview of the battle is scene in the giant, glowing orb. At that point, the Darkus door opens and darkness comes forth and forms into Darkor. Darkor flies over and notices that Spectra is battling against his evil self again. He wonders what happened and sees Calthor found a way. Darkor smiles and says this is perfect as he waves his hand over the orb and near the battlefield, an ornate round symbol with Darkus energy appears unknown to everybody in the area around the battlefield. Darkor then says it is done and also boldly says "Spectra Phantom, prove me wrong and pass this test!" (End of episode)
