He and the other monsters later helped Dai get Gome back from the group of fake heroes, which Dai was later crowned with Crown of Champions and earning the title of Hero. The next morning, Dai whiningly demanded him to give back the Crown of Champions, unaware that Gome has took it.
Three months later, Princess Leona and her subjects arrived at the island for a ritual to receive a blessing from the Earth God. While waiting for Dai, Leona and Varon, Gome went to informed Brass that Dai and Leona are attacked until they were stopped by Temjin and his subjects so they would prevent from helping them both. While they were attacked by Varon's Killing Machine, Brass and the others witnessed Dai awakening his powers and destroyed the machine, defeating both Varon and Temjin as result.
