After getting separated, Ulmar pairs up with PeytonicMaster to track the Mipedians, while MajorTom, KidChaor, and ChaotiKween search for Chaor. In the Storm Tunnel, Chaor and Ulmar are hot on the tails of the culprits - who turn out to be the Mipedians. MajorTom then suggests that they tune their Scanners to the frequency of the fragment in order to seek out the other six pieces, starting with the Storm Tunnel in order to check on the progress Ulmar had made. After fighting off the Shadow Warriors with the Super Scanner, the group reconvenes, with ChaotiKween revealing that she'd found a Mugic fragment. The group splits up, eventually finding Maxxor - only to learn that they'd actually found his Shadow Warrior. After hearing that MajorTom had encountered the Shadow Warriors, Bodal grows concerned, as there is a BattleGear called the Shadow Device meant to be under lock and key in the OverWorld capable of generating said Creatures, and which can only be deactivated using a particular Mugic which had been split into seven and scattered throughout Perim. Here, they encounter Bodal, who informs them that he is looking for Maxxor to inform him about a break in at Bodal's Arsenal - with Maxxor having last been sighted within the Forest of Life. Confused, the group makes their way to the Forest of Life to seek out Dractyl. As they search for Ulmar's BattleGear, the group encounters Danian and OverWorld Creatures with glowing red eyes and engage with the Super Scanner, though these Creatures, led by Dractyl, disappear as shadows after being defeated. MajorTom receives the Stone Shot, which provides him a boost in Power, KidChaor receives the Infernerator, which makes him Fireproof and provides him the Fire Element, ChaotiKween receives the Deluge-inary Diamond, which allows her to walk on water, and PeytonicMaster receives the Wind Funnel which provides him the Air Element and makes him immune to poisonous gases.

Offering to help, MajorTom, KidChaor, ChaotiKween, and PeytonicMaster are given special BattleGear from Ulmar. KidChaor manages to convince MajorTom to start off by getting a scan of Chaor in Fear Valley, but upon arrival, they find Ulmar, who is bent on getting revenge on Xaerv and a group of OverWorlders who had stolen BattleGear from him.

After defeating CodeMaster Crellan in a one-on-one match, CodeMaster Crellan provides MajorTom the Super Scanner, which would be capable of projecting scanned Creatures as holograms. MajorTom is challenged to a CodeMaster Match against CodeMaster Crellan, despite having not yet one another seven matches in the Crellan Drome since their last match.
