==Episodes==
#A New Beginning - It's an all new adventure for the Checkmaters when Derek's family moves to Bayview City & Marty's Chess Combat Interspace becomes fully operational to everyone, allowing kids all over the world to log on & display their battling skills. Derek heads to a cafe in town where Jenny works to meet with his new friend Jason, a young Checkmater who is only familiar with virtual bakugan. The two make there way to Chess Combat Interspace where they meet up with Marty who gives Jason St. Golemo. Jason is excited to meet his partner, but quickly saddened when he learns it is only a synthetic warrior & not a real one like Derek & Marty's warriors. Derek & Jason immediately want to battle, but discover that all the available arenas are occupied. Marty remembers how Rain suddenly appeared in Chess Combat Interspace, having been let in by Marty's butler, & helped the Checkmaters artificially create synthetic warriors for Chess Combat Interspace. Just then, Rain arrives having been made the Head of Data & Research of Chess Combat Interspace & informs them that Sean is currently in battle at one of the arenas, so the Checkmaters promptly head off to cheer on their friend. With Sean quickly seizing victory, Rain is scheduled to battle Derek. As the battle intensifies, Marty is forced to shut down Chess Combat Interspace & Derek is knocked out. Before coming to, Derek has a vision of warriors at war, something which everyone, except Rain, brushes off as a hallucination...
#Revelation - On the planet Gundoria, the Twelve Commands discuss the explosion caused by Rain & Derek's battle in Chess Combat Interspace. Nova, the head of the Chess Combat Biology Research lab, is unable to identify the powerful warrior that caused the explosion. So, Emperor Boraggen orders that this warrior must be brought to them before it joins their enemy. Back on Earth, Jason & Jenny still believe that what Derek saw was a dream, though he is still convinced that it was real. Just then, Marty calls & everyone heads to Chess Combat Interspace, where Rain confesses that he is an alien from Gundoria looking for strong battlers to help fend of the invading Neonians. Though hesitant, the Checkmaters accept & track down two moles identified by Rain, Sid & Leena. Derek & Marty quickly do battle with Sid & Lena. Though Sid & Lena gain the upperhand, Derek pulls through with JetTron & wins the battle. Everyone congratulates Derek on the victory. However, there may be more to Rain than meets the eye...
#The Visitor - After Derek defeats the two Checkmaters from Neona, another comes. A girl named Francine Stanwood wants to find the strongest Checkmater but gets tricked by a guy. When they combat, she wins & goes looking for the best Checkmater in Chess Combat Interspace. Derek was late & when he was running, he almost bumped into Francine & got flipped by her. Francine asked & found out Derek was the one she was looking for (the top Checkmater in Chess Combat Interspace). When Derek got into the headquarters, he blabbed about his flip when after they got an intruder. It was Francine & she works for the Neonans. Derek & Francine battle. Francine was shown Derek's amazing power & now knows that he is the one they were looking for but works for Gundoria. When she lost, Francine flips Derek & tells him he doesn't know anything & left. Everyone congratulates Derek except Sean who left. At the end, Francine knows she has to persuade Derek to go to the Neonan side & battle for them. Seconds later, Sean comes in & wants to know her side of the story about the war.
#Checkmater to Be - Derek gives Jason a practice match, but Jason feels he is not ready to become an official Checkmater. When another mole, Mason Brown, is located, Derek challenges him to a battle, but Jason steps in & wants to prove himself. Due to his inexperience, Jason quickly loses & feels he has failed Derek in proving himself. The next day, Jason is still upset over his loss, so Jenny, being a Rook master, offers to help him discover his own battling style. Jason returns for a rematch with Mason while being greeted by a bitter crowd. With his newfound confidence, Jason easily defeats Mason. Before the Checkmaters can pursue Mason, he teleports out of the stadium. Derek congratulates Jason & Jason becomes an official Checkmater.
#Confrontation - With the Neonan moles making themselves known, they begin kidnapping players from Chess Combat Interspace. The puzzling part is that each player is eventually returned to CCI. Meanwhile, Sid & Zelda find their recruiting hard when Marty puts out an announcement to everyone not to battle Sid, Lena, Mason, Jesse & Zelda. In retaliation, Sid & Zelda challenge Derek & Rain to a battle. Rain is quickly taken out but Derek makes an easy comeback, eliminating both Zelda & Sid. In the second battle, Venom takes a hit for Aragorn, putting Rain out of the battle while leaving Derek & Aragorn on their own. Being outnumbered, Derek loses but gets to keep Aragorn. After the battle, Gore orders Sid to not engage the Checkmaters & to leave it to Rain, who states their plan is working perfectly.
#Exposed - Marty & Rain finish an expansion for a new arena within Chess Combat Interspace. Derek & Jason are excited, but before they can give it a test run, another Neonan agent shows up: Jessie Glenn. Derek is ready to battle Jessie. However, Sean & Francine appear from out of nowhere, telling Derek that Jessie is lying to him about being a Neonan & that Francine is a true Neonan. Francine challenges Jessie, only to be defeated. Sean reveals to everyone that Rain is really the enemy. Rain runs away, & so does Marty after Sean's harsh words about Rain.
#True Colors - Marty runs around Chess Combat Interspace a& his home looking for Rain after he was confronted by Sean & Francine. Rain meets with the rest of his team, & afterwards is challenged to a battle by Marty, who calls him out by using the fake "Mr. Brown Message". Marty is almost defeated by Rain, but manages to pull out a victory. Rain shows the group his true form, then disappears.
#Hostile Takeover - After the battle with Rain, Marty is refreshed & decides to continue on battling & he tried to make the clone Gill-Man talk with this progam. Derek then admits that he will join the side of Neona & that he trusts Francine & because of that, Francine replaces St. Golemo, Hawk Girl, & Gill-Man with the real ones. But as soon as she does, they spot Rain sending many hypnotized battlers back to Gundoria, including two of the top players, Casey & Taylor, to test out their skills. Emperor Boraggen sends Rain to find more strong battlers to fight. But then Derek & the others soon catch up with them & Rain sends all to battle, but Francine & Achilles leaves without anyone knowing to follow behind Rain, Jesse, Lena, & Zelda because Francine had a suspicion. In one stadium, Sean & Derek battle against Taylor & Mason, while Marty & Jason battle against Casey & Sid. In the end, Derek, Sean, Marty, & Jason won while Casey & Taylor fell out of the hypnosis & left. Just before the battle ended, Rain was seen making adjustments to the Chess Combat Interspace system. But then the four (Derek, Sean, Marty, & Jason) were transported out of Chess Combat Interspace by force along with Francine. Then Derek & the others received a message from Rain saying that he now has complete control over Chess Combat Interspace.
#Twin Attack - Derek & the others have been forced out of Chess Combat Interspace & Rain has taken control! However it seems that they were the only ones kicked out as other kids continue to log on, not knowing what is going on. To make things easier, Marty, Sean, & Francine head over to Derek in Bayview City aboard his giant airship. Derek tries to enter, but is rejected. He tries to tell the other kids about the danger, but none of them believe him. Marty is unable to shut it down as Rain has complete control, so Jason tries brute force, which actually works. Marty takes them to a remote access room so they can plan their next move. Francine remembers that the Neonan warriors can body shift themselves into Interspace. Derek immediately wants to go, but Aragorn reminds him he does not have that same power. So Jason, volunteers & brings Derek along using St. Golemo's power. Derek & Jason witness brainwashed kids take back more kids back to Gundoria. The same two players who accused Derek of lying reappear, now brainwashed by Gundoria, & battle Derek & Jason. They easily secure victory as well as the opponent warriors. The two boys are released from Gundorian control & Derek & Jason takes them out of Chess Combat Interspace. Derek vows to rescue all the brainwashed children.
#Escape From Darkness - With Rain still under control of Chess Combat Interspace, Marty quickly comes up with a plan to regain his beloved creation. Emperor Boraggen calls Rain & suspects Rain may betray them due to his desire to not battle with his former friends. Rain assures him of his loyalty while Venom attempts to get the truth from his friend. Rain reminds him of the story behind their loyalty to Boraggen: there were many ancient warriors with Forbidden powers but they were sealed underground. Eventually their numbers dwindled to just Venom. Rain was the last descendant of the Protectors of the Dark Warriors & was assigned to take care of Venom. Over the years, they bonded & dreamed of escaping their underground prison until Boraggen recruited them to lead the invasion team to Earth. Meanwhile, Marty & Francine infiltrate Chess Combat Interspace. Marty tries to regain control while Francine & an Avatar Marty battle Lena & Zelda. The Avatar is quickly taken out as Rain discovers Marty's invasion. Francine is defeated & Zelda & Lena decid to take her back as a prisoner, something that will give them an edge against Neona. However, Marty arrives in time to get her out. Though their mission was unsuccessful, Marty reveals he installed a back door to better access Chess Combat Interspace without alerting Rain & his team.
#Secret Package - The Gundorians are easily overpowering the Neonans thanks to the brainwashed players Rain got from Chess Combat Interspace. In a last desperate attempt, the Captain of the Neonan Guards sends a Castle Knight, Linus, to Earth to give Francine the Element, the very thing the Gundorians are trying to take from the Neonans. As security tightens for the Checkmaters, their attempt to bring kids out safely is getting more difficult. However, many of the kids believe Derek & the Checkmaters over their wanted announcement. After Sean returns from saving more kids, he runs into Linus who is looking for Francine. Though reluctant to trust him at first, they are attacked by Rain & Jesse & a battle ensues. Linus' partner Faiz displays incredible power but the battle eventually goes to Jesse, who takes Faiz as his victory prize. Linus is taken back to the others after being injured during the battle. He tells Francine that having lost Faiz to the Gundorians, he has also lost the Element, leaving Neona doomed.
#The Element - Derek & the others devise a plan to regain Faiz while Linus desperately struggles to rescue his friend. Far too injured from the previous episode, Derek urges Linus to rest & leave rescuing Faiz to him. With the Gundorians' search for the Element comes up with nothing, Rain is given orders to bring Faiz to Gundoria on suspicion that he holds the Element. Before Rain can carry out these orders, Sid barges in & takes Faiz, deciding to get a little glory himself & challenges Derek. When Sid finally throws in Faiz, Faiz gives Aragorn the Element, causing him to evolve into Aragorn the Saga King. However, Faiz's body disappears in the process. With Aragorn evolving once again, Derek easily takes a win. Meanwhile, Faiz appears to Linus in his dream to bid his friend a final farewell, his mission now complete. Rain & Sid are betrayed for having lost the Element so soon after getting it. Sid's Beowulf is taken by Nova for experiments while Sid is disposed of. Rain pleads for another chance, which the Emperor grants but orders not to let it go to waste.
#Twin Evil - With Aragorn receiving the Element from the now departed Faiz, the Checkmaters decide to head back to Neona to help fight off the Gundorians. Before they can do so, Derek must say goodbye to Jenny, who hastily borrows his bike to get to her cheerleading practice. Meanwhile, Rain sends Zelda to steal the Element back via trickery. So, she disguises herself as Jenny & tries to take Aragorn. However, her plan is foiled when the real Jenny shows up, throwing Derek & Aragorn into confusion! However, when he reveals he is leaving for Neona to help fight, the real Jenny expresses that she is okay with it & hopes they succeed, assuring Derek that she is the real Jenny. Zelda is forced to reveal herself & battles Aragorn. She tries to trick Aragorn by transforming Rhino's appearance, but Aragorn overpowers her with his new Combat Gear. Zelda retreats & informs Rain that the Checkmaters are heading to Neona. Rain runs to them before they go, but arrives just as they leave with Jenny cheering them on, commenting that they will meet soon again.
#The Sacred Orb - As the Checkmaters arrive on Neona, Francine introduces them to her older sister, Queen Sabrina. She then takes the Checkmaters to see the Sacred Orb, the true target of Boraggen's conquest. Sean asks her whether it was this or the Element Boraggen was after to which she replies that the Element was merely a portion of the Sacred Orb's power & that the Sacred Orb is the real target. Meanwhile, Boraggen betrays Rain, Lena, Zelda, Mason & Jesse for failing their initial plan to gain the Checkmaters' trust & commands the Twelve Commands to attack Neona. The Checkmaters do their best to hold the Gundorians off while Derek & Aragorn fight Boraggen & Keileon Colossus but they succeed in breaking through Neona's second shield. While the fighting is going on, Captain Elright, who was captured in episode 11, escapes from Gundorian capture & joins the battle. Just before Aragorn & Keileon can engage in further combat, the Sacred Orb suddenly teleports all the Gundorians away. The Neonans celebrate their victory as Francine, Derek, Jason, Marty, & Sean are made Castle Knights, the highest honor on the planet Neona.
#Decoy Unit - With only one shield left defending Neona, it looks like Gundoria may actually win this war. However, Marty devises a plan to distract the oncoming Gundorian attack consisting of Aeros, Nova, & Slash, while a small unit heads to the second shield generator to restart it. He & Jason act as the decoys while Francine leads Derek & Sean to the generator. When the battle gets too intense, Marty & Gill-Man trap Vulture & Fafnir in ice & escape, while Derek, Sean, & Francine get closer to the generator.
#The Secret Switch - Derek, Francine, & Sean continue their way through the forest to the second shield generator while fighting off an onslaught of carnivorous plants. Soon enough, they run into Slash & Jesse. Sean continues ahead while Derek & Francine remain behind to deal with the Gundorians. A battle quickly ensues between Francine & Jesse, both her & Achilles eager for revenge on Jesse & Valkyrie. After Francine secures a win, Slash steps in who quickly deduces that Francine & Derek are distracting them, due to Derek not participating in the battle. Though Jesse enters the battle as well, Francine & Achilles defeat them both with her Castle Knight Gate Card & Combat Gear. However, it looks like battling two Gundorians takes its tole as Achilles begins to struggle. When Derek still does not participate, Slash questions Aragorn's location & Derek reveals he is in possession of Sean's Hawk Girl, not Aragorn, & joins the battle while revealing their true intention. Slash & Jesse retreat in loss as Sean arrives just outside the shield generator.
#Battle for the Second Shield - Sean successfully sneaks past the Gundorian guards into the second shield generator, but is ambushed by Lena & Nova. A battle quickly ensues & Lena is taken out & betrayed by Nova. When she & Kitsuna begin giving Sean too much trouble, Derek & Hawk Girl suddenly arrive to save the day! Derek & Sean switch back their warriors & Sean heads to the generator while Derek holds off Nova. Sean reactivates the shield as Aragorn powers it up with the Element. Realizing what is happening, Aeros, Slash, & Nova quickly flee before being trapped within the shield. As the Checkmaters celebrate their victory, all is not well on Gundoria. Nova knows she will be punished by Boraggen for the failure, so she plans to use Lena as her scapegoat. Lena, however, is fully aware of this thanks to Gore, & attempts to get Orochi to assassinate Nova before it can happen. Unfortunately for her, Nova is well prepared & Orochi is taken out by Kitsuna while Nova disposes of Lena. Nova successfully blames Lena for the failure & speaks to Gore about how Lena somehow knew of her plan, suggesting that she knew Gore had tipped her off. Gore remarks that not everyone can be trusted in these hard times... while Rain overhears their conversation & silently apologizes to Lena for her fate.
#Curtain Call - While the Checkmaters help the Neonans rebuild, Jason has an argument with Derek, saying that they should keep pressing the attack on the Gundorians now that they have the advantage. When Derek & Marty argue that they should help rebuild, Jason runs off into the forest, followed by Francine. Meanwhile, Jesse fears that he will eventually suffer the same fate as Sid & Lena & escapes from his prison to Neona. He is eventually approached by Rain, who has been sent to collect him. They eventually run into Jason & Francine & a battle ensues, Jesse promising that he will return with Rain no matter how the battle concludes. Jason & Francine defeat the Gundorians & Jesse willingly returns to Gundoria with Rain, having had one final battle. Nova & Slash prepare to punish Jesse for his escape & lose to the Checkmaters while Rain attempts to spare Jesse by saying he was much a part of the battle as Jesse was. Nova, however, tells him that he can share that information with Boraggen himself. Valkyrie suddenly speaks out & begs to be separated from Jesse, declaring that he can't stand him, something that surprises Jesse. However, Kitsuna & Stingklaw attack Valkyrie for turning on his master. Jesse forgives Valkyrie, saying that "co-stars often have friction between them", but Valkyrie insists he means what he said, as he slowly fades away. Jesse remarks that the spotlight is on Rain now & is presumed killed, leaving behind the book he always carries. While Nova & Slash are walking through the hall, Krual appears & tells them that although they can trick the others of their true intentions, he can see them for what they really are.
#The Secret of the Orb - With the second shield functioning at an even more powerful rate than before, things are looking good for Neona. Meanwhile, Krual & Nova are sent to do recon. Krual tells Magnugiga how Boraggen's father, the previous Emperor, did not seek to attain the Sacred Orb, fearing that its power is too great, while Boraggen is far too ambitious & down right stupid for engaging in such a quest. Mason, however, has plans of his own & escapes the ship, possibly to switch sides. Nova becomes infuriated because of what may happen to her, but Krual assures her that he & Rain will find Mason. While on their search, they run into Francine & Marty, who still feels bitter about Rain's betrayal. Marty's emotions only become worse when Rain says that their entire friendship was just a ploy & that Marty shouldn't let something so stupid affect him so. The battle becomes so intense that the Sacred Orb shoots out dimensional rays, that should one get caught in, they will be sent all over the dimension without any way back. Krual & Rain retreat while Achilles & Gill-Man attempt to shield Francine & Marty from the dimensional rays. Just before it hits them, the Sacred Orb stops but not before Mason & Fafnir fall victim to it. Back at the palace, Sabrina expresses how happy she is that Francine & Marty made it back all right, while everyone questions why the Sacred Orb acted so weird. Meanwhile, Marty believes that Rain will return to their side. However, things don't look to good for Nova as she finally gets the punishment she deserves from Boraggen, though she is kept alive. While in the hallway, she encounters Krual who tells her that he is leaving the Emperor & with Gore as the Emperor's right hand, she needs to find a place for herself quickly. He encourages her to join him, to which she agrees.
#Partners 'Til The End - The Checkmaters decide to use the Sacred Orb to their advantage by convincing the Gundalians, who fear it's power to switch sides, namely Krual. Rain has a meeting with Boraggen where the Emperor reveals that despite the failures of Rain's team, he keeps Rain around because of his potential. Later in the hallway, Venom asks Rain what is wrong, to which he replies the only reason they serve & obey the Emperor is because he was allowed out of the darkness he & Venom had lived in. Suddenly, Zelda comes in & begs Rain to help her, fearing that she will suffer the same fate as the others. Rain brushes her off & tells her she has nothing to worry about. However, she is not convinced. Rhino tries to cheer her up by agreeing with Rain, but Zelda tells him that Gundorians care nothing of loyalty & despite her morphing abilities, she has no use to them. Then she overhears that Gore & Rain are leaving for Neona to destroy the second shield again. She disguises herself as Rain to take his place in order to prove herself, but Atilla easily sees through the disguise & Gore decides to give her a chance anyway. While Gore & Atilla gather data on the second shield to completely destroy it, Zelda must keep Sean & Hawk Girl off him. However, Sean proves to be too much for her to handle, so Gore steps in & nearly defeats Sean. That is until Derek & Aragorn arrive. Gore & Zelda are defeated & return to Gundoria, where Zelda greatly fears her punishment. However, Rhino convinces Gore that because he is Boraggen's right-hand man, he will likely have people plotting against him, & that he may have use for a spy & volunteers Zelda. Gore sees this as a good idea & sends her to spy on Nova as Krual. She pulls it off & returns with information that Nova & Krual are plotting to overthrow the Emperor. Despite a job well done, Gore & Atilla kill Zelda & Rhino. Zelda once again explains to Rhino that Gundorians care nothing for loyalty. Rhino argues that he has always been loyal to Zelda. She begins crying & apologizes for not seeing it earlier.
#Divide & Conquer - Krual sends a message to the Checkmaters for a meeting to discuss a peace treaty. The Checkmaters are unsure but decide to take the risk anyway. Krual plans to use Nova's attack on the emperor as his chance to sneak away to Neona & give the Checkmaters the Switch Code, something that can supposedly control the Sacred Orb. Meanwhile, Gore informs Boraggen of Krual & Nova's betrayal & heads to stop him before he leaves for Neona. Nova arrives with her troops & reveals that she is actually working for Boraggen as a triple agent! However, Boraggen decides to deal with Krual via battle. When Magnugiga begins absorbing Keileon's power, it proves to be too much for him to handle. Boraggen destroys Krual & Magnugiga & the entire building as well. The Checkmaters, still waiting for Krual, conclude that they have either been stood up or something has happened to Krual. Back on Gundoria, Boraggen thanks Nova for her services while Gore vows to take Nova down, still not trusting her.
#Mobile Assault - With one of the 12 Commands disposed of, Boraggen secures the loyalty of the others or else they will face the same fate as Krual. 2-3 days are required before Keileon's Exo-Core is ready, so Keileon suggests that, in the meantime, they launch a smaller attack to distract the Neonans. Once again, the Gundorians rely on the kidnapped humans from Chess Combat Interspace to do their fighting for them. Unfortunately for the Checkmaters, when most of the kids are beaten, the Gundorian brainwashing doesn't wear off. While Nova experiments on more warriors, she sends Rain to collect more players from Chess Combat Interspace while Gore sends Slash with him. Slash however, bails to do things his way leaving Rain on his own, while Venom suggests they rethink their loyalties to which Rain tells him they have come too far to switch sides. Meanwhile, the Rook player Francine defeated in episode 3, Kody, attempts to get in to have a battle, but is stopped by Jenny, who tells him about the Gundorian-Neonan war while Slash watches from afar. Kody leaves, believing Jenny's story is too farfetched, & Slash convinces him to head to Gundoria where he & other kids are brainwashed by Nova. With more kids attacking, Derek & Francine split off from the others & encounter a Chess Combat Mobile Assault Vehicle, a highly evolved Combat Gear, named Impalation. Francine immediately recognizes Kody but is unable to get him to remember her. Francine decides to use an Assault Vehicle designed for Aragorn & has it uploaded to his Chess Meter, & while it is downloading, she holds off Kody. The upload is complete & Derek easily defeats Kody with Aragorn's Assault Vehicle, but Kody is still under their influence. Derek vows to free all the kids from Gundorian control. Nova releases control & the kids are returned to Chess Combat Interspace. Kody tells Jenny about what happened & how he doesn't remember anything after meeting Slash but he vaguely remembers Derek's voice.
#Sid Returns - Deep within Gundoria, Sid wakes up from statis & learns that he, Lena, Jesse, & Zelda were not actually killed, but imprisoned. Boraggen orders the attack to commence at dawn while Nova continues with her experiments. Sid has managed to escape & notices Rain leaving with some troops. On Neona, the Checkmaters stand watch, waiting for the Gundorian forces, which arrives at sunrise. Armed with a Chess Combat Mobile Assault Vehicle, Aragorn quickly tears through the Gundorian forces. Aragorn is suddenly ambushed by Rain & Venom but the two are too evenly matched. Derek begins asking why Rain fights for Boraggen to which Rain reveals that Boraggen gave him freedom. Derek mentions that the emperor put him in darkness & that Rain must have been happy being friends with Marty, & even though it was a ruse, Derek knows he'd rather be fighting with them rather than against them. Rain shouts at Derek saying that he is Gundorian & he knows nothing, but Derek replies that he is also a Checkmater. Derek tries to get Rain to join them, but Rain refuses to forget those who have fallen at his hands (Sid, Lena, Jesse, & Zelda). The fight continues but Beowulf suddenly enters, being commanded by Sid. The two press hard on Derek & Aragorn but Derek reveals another new Assault Vehicle, one which he can control & Derek easily wins the battle. Sid tells Rain that the others are still alive & Keileon attacks them. Sid knocks Rain out of the way & falls over a cliff, but not before giving Beowulf to Rain to take care of & telling him to not worry about the others & to "do what he has to do". Derek begs Rain not to go, but he leaves without a word.
#Keileon the Colossus Dragon - After his battle with Derek & Sid giving him Beowulf, Rain is very confused as to what he should do. The invasion continues as the Checkmaters continue to push back the Gundorians. Nova finishes her experiments on Keileon's Exo-Core while Rain visits Boraggen. Rain asks why he has been spared while the others have been punished & assumes it has to do with Venom's "forbidden powers". Boraggen promises Rain he will have everything he wants so long as he completes his missions. Nova informs the emperor of Exo-Core's completion & the 12 Commands clear a path to the second shield for him. The others hold off the rest of the 12 Commands but have trouble dealing with them. Meanwhile, Aragorn & Derek hammer on Keileon the Colossus Dragon, but he proves to be far too powerful. Once again, Derek reaches out to Rain to get him to switch sides before continuing battling Boraggen. Aragorn quickly falls to Keileon's immense power & the second shield is punctured. Boraggen orders Rain to prove his loyalty by finishing off Derek & Aragorn. Venom asks if Rain is sure to which he replies he has no other choice. Derek tells Rain just to get it over with when Rain suddenly fires at Keileon & declares he is doing something he should have done a long time ago: fighting alongside his real friends.
#Aragorn the Colossus King - Rain decides he has had enough of Boraggen's false promises & turns on him to fight by his true friends. Keileon however, chooses to let Exo-Core, Ripper, & Smasher do the fighting, but eventually joins in a one-on-one battle against Venom. Meanwhile, one by one, the Checkmaters are taken out by the Twelve Commands (although Sean managed to take out Nova before falling to Aeros). Rain takes a bad beating, so Derek decides to step in, but Venom & Rain asks him to stay out of the fight. Meanwhile, Queen Sabrina prays to the Sacred Orb to protect the Checkmaters from harm. Boraggen begins taunting Rain, & Venom begins exhibiting his Forbidden Powers, to the points where they begin to tear Neona apart. The Sacred Orb, in response to Venom's power, sends out its last defense: Aragorn the Colossus King. Aragorn the Colossus King arrives in time & subdues Venom before entering Derek's Chess Meter. Rain realizes that he must live in seclusion to avoid Venom's power from causing harm & begins to leave, but is stopped by the Checkmaters. They welcome him back into their group insisting that Venom's power could do a lot of good as it could harm. Rain, feeling happy to be accepted back to the group, transforms into his human form. Francine, however, is not so sure about their new teammate.
#Forgiveness - With Rain back on the team, everyone heads back to Neona, but discover that Rain has been left behind! Elright explains that, as a last resort, the third shield is programmed to expel anyone with Gundorian DNA. Derek asks if they can just shut the shield off to let Rain in, but Francine refuses and leaves. Sabrina explains the origins of her hatred to the Gundorians: Achilles was originally partnered with Commander Jack, but they were defeated by Nova. Jack disappeared & Achilles was taken captive & experimented on. Francine single handedly infiltrated the Gundorian palace & rescued Achilles. Sabrina then reveals that Jack was Francine's fiance & that Achilles has no memories prior to his rescue due to the experiments. While Marty searches for Rain, Derek asks Francine to give Rain a chance. So, everyone heads out to find Rain & Marty & Francine challenges Rain to a battle. The stakes: if Rain wins, he can stay, but if he loses, he must leave Neona forever. Rain puts in Venom & Beowulf but they both fall to Achilles. Knowing the conditions of his defeat, Rain begins crying. However, Francine is convinced that he has changed & welcomes him to the Checkmaters. Rain is made a Castle Knight by Queen Sabrina & swears loyalty to her & the Checkmaters.
#Into the Storm - Soon after Rain joined the Castle Knights, the Gundorians begin attacking the third shield. When they find that the third shield contains a DNA barrier, they retreat back to Gundoria for a new strategy. Meanwhile, the Neonans send out patrols to watch out for any Gundorians attacking while a geometric storm (something that disrupts their radars) is taking place, with the Checkmaters divided into groups of two to help the patrols. Derek & Jason are in one group, & they soon find an Earth boy named Reuben who claims to have escaped the Gundorians' clutches & wants to find his sister. Jason wants to help him, but Derek tries to hold him back, as it is too dangerous, fearing that it may be a trick by the Gundorians. Jason then decides to look for Reuben himself, but it turns out to be a trap, as Reuben was brainwashed by the Gundorians all along. Nova appears & challenges Jason to a battle. Jason doesn't back down & is determined to free the brainwashed children from the Gundorians. Meanwhile, Derek reports back what had happened & the others scold him for letting Jason go out on his own, so they all go out to look for him. Nova lays it hard on Jason & proves to be too much for the inexperienced Checkmater to handle. Jason scolds Nova for using other people to do her dirty work, to which she replies all the children are safe back on Earth, having outgrown their usefulness as strong battlers & she now uses them to bring in stronger subjects...like Jason. The rest of the Checkmaters arrive just as Jason is defeated. He apologizes for not listening to Derek & is taken by Nova.
#Jason Returns - Jason has been captured by Nova & is tortured by her. Meanwhile, Derek eagerly wants to rescue him, feeling that their arguement was his fault, but everyone tries to talk him out of it. Just then, Jason suddenly walks right back into Neona, claiming to have escaped. However, Sean is not easily convinced of this. When Jason wakes up from a rest, Sean tests his theory by asking Jason if he remembers fighting to restart the second shield. However, Jason only remembers that he & Marty were on decoy duty. Derek beings suspecting that something must be wrong with Jason when he begins suggesting making changes to the third shield. Later that night, Jason heads to tamper with the shield controller & gets teleported to Derek, who had set the trap with Captain Elright earlier. Jason finally reveals that he & St. Golemo have been brainwashed by Nova & a battle ensues. The battle proves to be too much for Derek to handle due to the powerful abilities. Just then, Sean steps in & they finally take out St. Golemo. However, Jason does not return back to normal & is taken back by Nova. Derek vows to rescue his friend.
#Genesis - Derek is still upset about losing Jason & wants to rescue him, but Queen Sabrina forbids him, as it is too dangerous. Frustrated, Derek recalls the day he first met Jason. Linus arrives to bring them all lunch, when Derek & Aragorn are suddenly pulled away by Aragorn the Colossus King to a place between dimensions. There he meets Krual & Mason. Aragorn the Colossus King explains that if Derek wants to leave, he must defeat him in battle. A battle ensues, & Aragorn the Colossus King easily gains the upper hand. As the battle goes on, Krual explains that the Sacred Orb is the origin of all warriors & that Aragorn the Colossus King has been tasked with protecting it. Only two are able to defeat him, the warriors of fire & darkness: Aragorn & Keileon. If Aragorn loses, they will just be giving Keileon the chance to take the Sacred Orb. Derek & Aragorn manage to pull through & defeat Aragorn the Colossus King. Aragorn the Colossus King takes Derek & Aragorn & tells them the rest of the story of the Sacred Orb: the first two warriors born from the Sacred Orb were Aragorn & Keileon, & every warrior was born from their DNA sequence. Aragorn accepts his responsibility & evolves into the Aragorn: King of Victory. They return to Neona, bringing along Krual & Mason, who decide to fight against Gundoria, although Francine warns that she will be watching them. Riding on Aragorn the Colossus King, they head to Gundoria to rescue Jason.
#Infiltrated - While the Checkmaters are on their way to Gundoria, Rain tells the others that he wishes to save the rest of his team from Nova's lab, to which the other Checkmaters agree. Rain, Francine, Mason, & Krual split off from the rest of the team to rescue them. Derek, Marty, & Sean make their way inside the palace to find Jason. Meanwhile, Boraggen orders Gore & Aeros to separate Derek from the others so that he may defeat Derek & take Aragorn the Colossus King. Derek is separated from Sean & Marty who battle Aeros & Gore. Sean manages to take out Aeros, but he & Marty fall to Gore. Before Gore & Aeros can do anything else, Sean throws a smoke ball & the two of them escape. Meanwhile, Derek is still lost within the Gundorian castle when a door opens up to a strange room & he is confronted by Boraggen.
#True Evolution - Derek & Boraggen immediately battle with Aragorn easily tearing through Keileon's Exo-Core. However, Aragorn the Colossus King informs Derek that Aragorn & Keileon are too evenly matched & that Aragorn must win at all costs. Despite another evolution, it seems as though Aragorn barely matches up to Keileon in terms of power. Meanwhile, Krual suggests they split up again, himself with Francine & Rain with Mason, in hopes of surprising Nova, having already lost the Element of surprise earlier. Aragorn the Colossus King explains that despite changing in appearance & gaining new powers, Aragorn has yet to reach his true evolution. Aragorn begins to worry that he is not worthy of protecting the Sacred Orb, but Derek assures him that they have defeated evil many times before because they believed in themselves. With Aragorn's confidence restored, a brand new ability is unlocked, which Aragorn uses to win the battle. Derek demands to have Jason returned & Boraggen complies, but Jason is still under the influence of Gundorian hypnosis & attacks Derek, knocking him out in the process. Meanwhile, Krual & Francine get close to Nova's lab where she & Slash confront them.
#Redemption - Derek is caught off guard by Jason & is imprisoned in a cell that keeps Aragorn in figure form. Meanwhile, Francine & Krual engage in battle with Nova & Slash, giving Rain & Mason a chance to break in & rescue Zelda, Lena, & Jesse. However, once they reach the lab, they are no where to be seen. Nova & Slash press on the attack, causing Francine & Krual to fall down a cliff. However that was part of their plan. Krual tells Francine a story of a man who thrived to fight so much that he led a group of soldiers, including his daughter, into a battle they were unprepared for, resulting in the girl's death. Krual laments that Francine reminds him of her. Suddenly, Nova & Slash discover they have survived & another battle ensues. Meanwhile, Sean & Marty have snuck into the palace under the guise of guards while Nova reveals a surprise: a hypnotized Lena, Jesse, & Zelda. Slash begins flooding the battlefield, forcing Nova, Lena, Zelda, & Jesse to retreat. Krual saves Francine while he & Magnugiga are carried away by the water. Krual has a vision of his daughter, Floria, & is pleased to know he will be with her soon. After Achilles is unable to find them, Rain & Mason come across him & Francine. Nova returns to where Derek & Aragorn are being held & tricks Derek & Aragorn into looking into her eyes. They fall, unconscious, & were put put in a coma.
#Jason's Last Stand - With Derek & Aragorn captured, Nova discovers similarities between Aragorn & Keileon's DNA & discovers a way to use that DNA to make Keileon evolve. Francine informs Rain & Mason about Jesse, Lena, & Zelda being hypnotized so Mason takes them to Krual's secret lair. Meanwhile, Sean & Marty split up to find Derek & Jason. Sean discovers Derek but is forced to escape after being discovered by Kitsuna. Marty however, gets dragged into a presentation in which Jason teaches the Gundorian soldiers how to defeat the Checkmaters. Marty is so distraught by how much Jason has changed & challenges him to a battle. Marty tries a number of times to reach out to Jason, but fails. After the battle is over, the floor begins cracking & Marty falls. Luckily, Sean arrives in time to save him & they head to meet the others.
#Final Strike - Rain & Francine reunite with Sean & Marty & they regroup with Mason at Krual's secret lair. Meanwhile, Nova's experiments have succeeded & she is ready to splice Aragorn's DNA with Keileon's. This results in Keileon evolving into Keileon the Phantom Dragon as well as his DNA no longer containing Gundorian DNA, allowing him to pass the third shield. In return, Boraggen names Nova his second-in-command, demoting Gore in the process. Mason decides to go look for Krual, as there is a chance he survived while the others break into the castle to find Derek. As the Checkmaters break into the Gundorians' lair, they run into all kinds of trouble. Rain has to stay back to face Gore, Marty fights Aeros, & Sean deals with Slash. Nova prepares to finish Derek off & Jason is there to watch her, while Francine is the only one left who will be able to find Derek in time. But Jason seems to be regaining control as he does not destroy Derek when given the chance to. Will he save Derek & snap out of his trance?
#Dream Escape - Just as Nova is about to finish Derek off, Jason breaks free of the hypnosis & stops her. Francine arrives & holds off Kitsuna while Jason & St. Golemo rescue Derek & Aragorn. During the battle, Nova & Kitsuna reveal Achilles's last time on Gundoria: when Jack was killed & he was captured. Achilles reveals he knew the entire time & was only faking because Francine had never mentioned Jack because she wanted to protect him. Derek comes too & he & Jason join the battle, causing Nova to run away. Derek, Jason, & Francine reunite with the others & fight the Twelve Commands. The Checkmaters suddenly notice that Boraggen is missing... he has gone to Neona to attack!! Keileon destroys the third shield & the Gundorians lay waste to the city. Aragorn the Colossus King appears to take everyone back to Neona, but the Twelve Commands summon their warriors to stop them.
#Gundorian Showdown - The Checkmaters must head back to Neona to defend it from Keileon's attack but Nova, Slash, Gore, & Aeros are determined to keep them on Gundoria. The Checkmaters manage to fight them off and escape, but Fabia remains behind to fight Nova, as she has a vendetta against her for the death of her fiance, Jack. The Checkmaters quickly make their way back to Neona, with the Gundorian forces close behind, as Elright & Linus (who has Beowulf as his new partner) attempt to fight back. Meanwhile, Francine & Achilles are taking a beating by Mobile Assault Vehicles & things look grim. Suddenly, Fafnir flies in & saves them with Mason & Krual as the Checkmaters arrive on Neona.
#Broken Spell - Just as the Checkmaters return to Neona, Francine & Nova continue their battle. However, Kitsuna begins disobeying Nova's orders & is determined to finish off Achilles with or without her. Krual confronts Nova & tries to convince her that Boraggen is just using her but she refuses to listen. She flees from the battle & is confronted by Gore, who kills her, thus freeing Lena, Zelda, & Jesse from her control. Rain fills his ex-0teammates on what has happened & Lena, Zelda, & Jesse decide to join & fight for Neona. As Francine, Mason, & Krual make their way back to Neona, the epic battle between the Checkmaters & Keileon the Phantom Dragon begins.
#Code Eve - Krual, Mason, & Francine attempt to return to Neona on Krual's ship but they are stopped by Gore, though they do manage to escape & arrive just in time to help the Checkmaters. Lena, Zelda, & Jesse are surprised to see Krual & Mason alive, but are nonetheless happy. Gore arrives on the scene & tries to convince Boraggen that Francine killed Nova. However, Boraggen knows it was Gore who killed her & shoots down his ship, along with Vulture who tried to save him. Boraggen leaves to confront Queen Sabrina so Aragorn the Colossus King takes Derek to the Palace to protect the Orb while the others hold off Keileon. In an show of outstanding power, Keileon shoots down Aragorn the Colossus King (along with Slash), who drops Derek at the Palace, & returns to lay waste to the rest of the Checkmaters, leaving him & Aragorn the last ones standing. Boraggen confronts Sabrina, who refuses to back down. Boraggen prepares to attack her, but Derek arrives in time to stop him. However, the Sacred Orb teleports them to an unknown area & reveals itself to be called "Code Eve."
#Destiny Revealed - Code Eve explains that in the beginning, Aragorn & Keileonorg had battled each other & the result split the universe in two (Aragorn's half formed into Middle Earth & Keileonorg's half created Neona & Gundalia) which is why she had brought them to a mid dimension to battle, so no innocents would come to harm. Aragorn struggles against Keileon, & is knocked out & reverts to a primal state, relying solely on instinct, but Derek manages to snap him out of it. Meanwhile, everyone awakens after being defeated by Keileon & Venom is upset at the devastation so he uses his Forbidden Powers to restore the war-torn Neona. Aragorn eventually manages to defeat Keileon & they are all returned to Neona. However, Boraggen decides to take the Sacred Orb's power for himself but its power is too much for Keileon to take in & they are destroyed. Code Eve awards Aragorn the Sacred Orb's power & he evolves into the Titanium King. With the war finally over, Krual, Rain, & the rest of his team create a formal alliance with the Neonans & they leave to form a new government on Gundoria. Derek, Aragorn, Marty, Sean, & Jason return to Earth, & they say goodbye to the Neonans as well as Gill-Man, Hawk Girl, & St. Golemo (who must stay on Neona). The four Checkmaters return to Earth & are greeted by Jenny & Derek's mom. Later, they return to Chess Combat Interspace, where everything has returned to normal & Derek ends up battling Kody.
