Plot

Part 1

After creating a hole in the field gate, Ruri Tenpouin grants Riki Ryugasaki his gear, officially making him a Crossfire player. Ruri warns Riki that Crossfire is a "secret tournament" and those who tell other people have their ID revoked which he understands.

The next day at school when the bell rings, Riki looks at his Crossfire gear in class until Sumi Inaba pops in and asks where he has been lately. Sumi offers he go with her to Miracle Shoot as she wants new B-Daman parts but Riki declines and leaves. As a result, Sumi senses something odd going on.

Back home, Riki is anxious for the next Crossfire tournament to begin as he wants to improve his sluggish score last time. Just then, his mother pops in to give him a snack but takes the food and pushes her out of his room; not wanting to tell her about the Crossfire secret. Thunder Dracyan tells Riki that he has questions for certain things. He does not know anything else, why he has a will or the meaning behind Crossfire. Riki assures him that they will solve this together and begin investigating.

Riki brings Dracyan to the Crossfire registration but nothing happens. Sumi subsequently reappears and thinks Riki was sneaking around alone to Miracle Shoot. Although this is not the case, Sumi brings Riki inside where he talks with the owner. Akira Saigo tells him that the device he used to register Thunder Dracyan is the "B-Ter" which lets B-Shots access the "B-Net". He goes on to state the B-Net controls all worldwide B-Daman tournaments, already housing an abundance of date globally. Riki concludes there must be "awesome data" hidden there but Akira denies it. Suddenly, Riki's Crossfire cellphone rings - signifying another tournament. Riki abruptly takes Dracyan and leaves Akira's shop heading for Crossfire and Sumi still smells something fishy.

Riki arrives at the Toy Shop and enters with the access pass. He finds himself in an empty hall with Ruri approaching. She tells him how he is the first B-Shot here and proposes a challenge as they await the other competitors. Riki accepts and follows Ruri to the next event: "Heaven Bridge Breaker". A Time Attack challenge, a bridge filled with EZ Targets constantly sways left and right with a Heavy Target at the end. The object is to pass a B-Da Marble through the bridge and hit the Heavy Target.

One B-Shot takes the challenge with his B-Daman. As it begins, he starts taking down the nearby EZ Targets and follows it up with his Strike Cobra's Spirit Shot: "Ultimate Light". The blast flies and wraps around the bridge like a cobra and takes down the Heavy Target with extreme precision. The B-Shot, named Reggie Mak is revealed to be the fifth player and scored 00:27:51 on that shot. Reggie walks by Samuru Shigami and asks how was the East Block B-Ter and the latter replies that it did not matter as he only wishes to get stronger - now Samuru attempts Heaven Bridge Breaker. Being the tenth player, he attaches a Straight Barrel and a Tornado Magazine to Lightning Dravise, giving it both Precision and Rapid-Fire. Using the Dravise Leg rollers, he shoots down each EZ Target one-by-one and his combination of Precision and Rapid-Fire allows him to take down the Targets quickly enough to beat Reggie's score with 00:11:97.

Riki is astounded by Samuru's superior ability but does not understand how Samuru is from the West Block. Ruri tells Riki that Crossfire takes place in several blocks - they are currently in the East Block whilst Samuru hails from the West. Samuru participated in the tournament the day before for data and returned to the West Block after obtaining what he needed. Just then, the Commissioner Tenpouin appears again and reveals that he organized Crossfire as well as being Ruri's grandfather. Knowing this, Riki remembers that Ruri mentioned him before and thinks he can learn more about B-Daman from him.
