They later discover that these bladers are a group called the Saint Shields, seeking to seal away the Bladebreakers' Bit-Beasts, saying that they are sacred spirits whose power must not get into the wrong hands. Meanwhile, a criminal organization named Team Psykick also attempts to capture the Bladebreakers' Bit-Beasts using any means possible. 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. Their tournament takes place in the Battle Tower. However, the Bladebreakers prevail, with the help of the Saint Shields. 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. The reason behind this is that it contains hundreds of Bit-Beasts, which were sealed in the rock by the Saint Shields' ancestors. A new organization of scientists obtain the rock and gradually extract Bit-Beasts from the rock to attack the Bladebreakers. Throughout this ordeal, the team gains a new member, Zeo, who idolizes Tyson and dreams to be champion as well.
