Now that Ren has taken over control of Bakugan Interspace, the Brawlers discover that they can no longer enter the virtual realm via the usual access points. Worried that more kids will fall victim to Ren's hypnosis, Jake smashes a control panel, making it impossible for anyone to enter. Concerned for the safety of those already inside, Dan and Jake go on a recon mission with the help of Coredem who can body-shift them into Interspace. Once they arrive, Dan and Jake immediately square off with a pair of hypnotized brothers. As their battle wages on, they face the terrifying realization that Ren's recruitment and brainwashing of human children may be too far along for them to stop it.
