Episode 9- The Ultimate Rivals features Quarky as he is trying to fix up his green Falcon from the last race he was in. He tells Geofficino how Pico and Zoda wanted DemonLouie. Geofficino says that DemonLouie can defend himself and is capable of fighting. Quarky nods and tells Geofficino about the plans he might have for Bio Rex. Geofficino asks why would they need to worry about Zoda's minions as Quarky explains that Bio Rex could be playing a huge role to help Zoda. Geofficino asks about Octoman but Zewing says that he is no real threat. Confused, Geofficino decides to pay a visit to Ryu for questioning.

Later that day, a new race has begun in Mute City again as Geofficino gives his friends a thumbs up. Quarky tells Zewing and Edward to be careful. Before the race can start, a few odd machines show up on the track: a brown stingray, a black fox and a red and white falcon. Geofficino is confused about who they are as the race begins. DemonLouie tells the team about the new racers as Quarky says that they will be taken care of. Geofficino tella the boys to be focused and to forget about the new racers. DemonLouie is soon pushed by the brown stingray as he gets bumped behind while Quarky tries to fight with the black fox. After a few laps, Geofficino is still leading as the red abd white Falcon passes him and wins the race.

On the podium, Geofficino looks to see who won the race as a copy of Islandthunder is revealed. They look at Geofficino ans chuckle saying that he will lose every race from now on. Geofficino growls at the clone and asks who he really is but the fake Islandthunder jumps away and leaves. Quarky asks Geofficino who they were as Geofficino says that someone is impersonating Islandthunder. The real Islandthunder notices the fake one moments later as they both fight. Islandthunder asks the imposter who he is but the faker says that he will never tell anyone about who he is. Zoda chuckles from behind his vehicle has he is seen holding a small vile. Bio Rex asks Zoda what is in the vile as Zoda laughs and tells the dinosaur that it is blood of another racer that he will clone next. Bio Rex wonders if they will clone everyone as his question is answered.

Quarky decides to follow Islandthunder's imposter later that day. He is seen at the bar talking to Lisa and her husband. Quarky tries to listen in on the conversation. He hears that he plans to take out Ryu in the next race. He runs back to get Edward and Zewing. At the base, Zewing and Edward are searching through files that contain more data than usual. They both find out about the clones that showed up after during the race. Zewing says that Zoda is going too far and is cheating. Edward agrees and decides that every clone needs to be taken care of. Quarky comes into the base and tells them about the clones as Zewing says that they know all about Zoda's plan.

As Zewing is about to turn off the computer for the night, DemonLouie asks Zewing about Zoda's other projects but the man says that he only found the clone ideas in the flash drive aside from his kidnapping plan. DemonLouie asks why Zoda would need clones. Edward explains that Zoda was trying to cheat in the Mute City race. Geofficino finally makes it to the base and asks Zewing if they can take care of the clones. He says that he should bring Quarky along. Zewing nods and looks back at Quarky with a smile. Geofficino then assigns Edward and DemonLouie to stay at the base. Narokath comes down stairs and asks Geofficino if he will need his help. The man says that he will need all of the help he can get.

That night, Zewing and Quarky reach the secret headquarters of the Dark Million as they take out some robots that are in their way. Zewing leads Quarky to a vent as they both crawl through the area. They soon reach Zoda's main throne room as they don't see him. Quarky jumps down into the room first followed by Zewing. They try to figure out where Zoda is hiding the clones as Bio Rex spots them before he lets out a loud roar. He asks them why they have breached their base. Zewing curses under his breath as Quarky tries to headbutt Bio Rex with his horns but the dinosaur picks him up. Zewing tries to run but is also captured. They are taken to a room that is full of clones as Quarky sees a clone of himself. Bio Rex locks them in a cage within the same room as the clones. Zewing growls and tells Bio Rex that Zoda is nothing compared to everyone else on earth.

Bio Rex ignores Zewing and leaves the room. He is heard talking to Octoman about the new crew that joined them as he knows all about Quarky and Zewing's plan. Octoman laughs as the two walk away from the door. Quarky asks Zewing about their eacape plan. Zewing says that they will have to call Edward and Narokath. Quarky nods. At the base, Edward picks up his phone as Zewing tells him that they have been captured by the Dark Million. Edward quickly gets Narokath and DemonLouie as they all leave to find Zewing and Quarky. As they all leave the base, a few clones follow them.

From the ship, Zewing and Quarky are trying to escape from their cages as Zoda opens the door and greets them. Zoda tells them that his plan is almost complete as there will be no more racers to stop him from winning. He laughs at Zewing and Quarky as he tells them to give up and let their clones do the work for a change. Zewing and Quarky exchange glances as they look back at Zoda, hatred for him was in their eyes. Zoda tells them not to worry about Geofficino as he will take good care of him. This angers Quarky as he tells Zoda not to touch Geofficino but the evil humanoid laughs and asks who is going to him. Zewing tells Quarky that they will have to trust that the others will stop the clones.

During the next Mute City race, the clones return to the track but this time their machines are colored the same way as some of the innocent racers. Geofficino notices this as he sees another clone as it is Quarky's imposter. Geofficino decides that enough is enough as he fights off every clone in the race. With fire in his eyes, he wipes out the clones and kicks them all out of the machines and tells them to leave as a clone of a vampire bat hisses at him. The clone of Quarky says that they will never stop Zoda. Edward and Zewing's clone only growl at Geofficino. Islandthunder also throws his clone away from the Mute City track. He tells his clone to leave and never return. His clone grunts and follows the fake Edward and Zewing.

As a few reports show that innocent racers have gone missing. Islandthunder decides to help Geofficino find the racers and his friends. The scene fades to Edward, DemonLouie and Narokath who are near the door that Zoda is keeping their friends behind. Narokath throws a ball passed Zoda as the evil man shouts at Octoman and Bio Rex as he goes after them as he thinks they threw it. Edward and his group comes up to the door and they open it. They find Zewing and Quarky locked in cages as DemonLouie sets them free with his demonic blast attack. During the rescue mission, Quarky leads the team out of Zoda's ship. When Zoda returns, he sees that the door he was guarding has been opened. Fueled with rage, he blames his minions again. A that base, it is shown that Zewing and Quarky got Bio Rex's DNA as they plan to use his DNA for studies and how they can get him away from Zoda. The episode fades to black.
