As the Resistance heads to Beta city, Runo decides to go to New Vestroia to help Dan. After Kedo flies her and Julie to Moscow to meet with Alice and her grandfather, Dr. Gehabich reveals that his transporter is not functioning properly and refuses to let Runo go. Later that night, Runo and Julie sneak into his lab and Julie prepares to send Runo off. Meanwhile, in New Vestroia, everyone is beginning to hear their conversation because of the weakening wall between the two worlds. Runo does make it to New Vestroia but finds that she is only half way there, being unable to touch anything {she trys to hug Dan} but still able to see and speak with Dan. Prince Hydron decides to take advantage of Runo’s distress by sending Shadow to make sure that Runo remains trapped. While Marucho handles Shadow, Dan takes Runo to the gate only to get attacked by Shadow’s bakugan. With Dan down, Runo rushes to help him but he urges her to go to the gate. To make matters worse, Spectra, Gus and Lync follow her through the portal as do Dan, Mira and Baron.
