Belle Fontiere was playing Theo's game, attempting to execute a glitch to beat a world record on a speed runner tournament. He drowns in lava, leading to Belle's loss. Tari began playing his game. Tari was in a clumsy way, only to improve as she goes on. Tari then unintentionally warped herself into the game, meeting and seeing Theo face-to-face. Theo actually mistaken Tari for a boss in the beginning, they would later became friends. 
Theo met Lucks when he presented himself as a glitchy Theo, in which he incorrect for some Spanish cousin. Tari was tortured out of the game, brought Theo along with her. The pair ran away from the building and ran through the city.
Theo and Tari stop at an alleyway, where Theo finds out that he is in the real world and that his powers no longer work. Tari reproach him for fooling around for a second, only for him to feel unhappy and then Tari apologizes.
They both went into a building that was full of streamers known as The Hive. Theo mentions to the players as nerds. They both take shelter at a streaming pod which was where Theo plays a video game and begins a stream. They were cornered by Belle and some mercenaries from TAS Corp. Luckily, Theo threw his coconut shell right at Belle's face, giving him and Tari a headstart to escape. Theo evaded the soldiers, however he witnesses Tari getting caught. Theo lost hope and started to cry for a bit of seconds, and is approached by Lamar Williams, giving him help.
They crash into a transport van, saving Tari from the ruckus. A car chase was open, in which Lamar and Theo bond over their humorousness, even approving a body pillow. With Tari's capability, they ran off a border of TAS Corp head and soldiers towards the hideout that just so happens to be in a restaurant. Both Theo and Tari would meet Sofia and Masa as the two of them began their training as new recruits for MD-5.
Tari needed to play a game of Battle Blaze against Masa Shimamoto when they were leisurely becoming members of MD-5. He was a supporter for Tari, telling her to "kick his butt". Theo warps into the game to help Tari, during the game.
Later the team unveils that Theo has been glitching out, which means that he had to return to his game. They forced out of the game for the truth being that there was another Theo in-game, when Tari and he warp into MD-5's cartridge of Ultra Jump Mania. The team notices that Theo has to return to his original cartridge, which is that was held at TAS Corp.
Theo got closer to Lamar, to the point where they became best friends. Sofia Porter introduces Operation: Silent Demon, a plan to the end she will hack into TAS Corp files. She was also able to register a delivery request for Theo's cartridge. The gang trains in a game that is called Tempest. Tari would have to execute a glitch so that the big plan can work. During these practices, Theo was Tari's biggest supporter.
The underground competition happening in Gamma Tech Stadium, the TEAM play Tempest, only for the rest of the team except Tari to lose. The plan works, until Lucks and his soldiers of fortune corner the gang. Theo witnesses the plan going getting worse, as Lucks unveils to the team that he used Theo's eyes as a spy tool. Lucks makes sure of this by ruining Theo's cartridge, when Tari gives herself to TAS Corp. In order to get her friends' freedom, Theo glitches out and thinking that he would answer. Theo's physical body is effaced, and Lucks keeps the main chip to maintain Theo's moral sense.
