After a series of failed missions, Team Psykick decides to create copies of the four Holy Beasts, known as "Cyber Bit-Beasts". They recruit the Psykicks, who Tyson and the others had befriended very recently, to control the digital Bit-Beasts and use them to face the Bladebreakers.

The team then takes a trip to New York City, as they have been invited to the American BBA by Max's mother. It is shown that she has found an ancient rock that may impact the sport of Beyblading.
