Rokusho easily defeats the Belzelgas. He then explains to Ikki what the leader of the Rubberobo Gang wants with Metabee. Metabee's rare medal is the product of an ancient civilization.

Ikki and Metabee team up with Rokusho, Phantom Medafighter and Arcbeetle to fight Giganko. But even a triple-pronged Medaforce attack from the three Medabots isn't enough to stop him. His crawling leg parts transform into legs, and he continues on his rampage toward the city. Meanwhile, Ikki's dad receives a call. He's needed at work. After a pep-talk from the philosophic Peddler, Ikki and Metabee decide not to back down. They fly off after Giganko, using aerial leg Medaparts to continue the robattle. The Select Corps, a UN peacekeeping force, organized to prevent Medabot-based crimes, attacks Giganko with its own Medabot forces, but to no avail.

Just before Giganko vaporizes the Medabot Corporation, Ikki and Metabee land on Giganko's back and eject his medal. They've saved the day! The captain of the Select Corps thanks them for their help. After Ikki and Metabee run off to re-join their friends, the captain raises his visor to reveal that he is none other than Jozo Tenryo? Ikki's dad! Later, Dr. Aki and Phantom Renegade discuss the strange events of the day. Having analyzed the medal from Giganko, Dr. Aki concludes that Meta-Evil managed to take fragments of his personality and install it into a medal, which he placed in the Medabot clone of himself.
