He challenges Yamato, claiming to be from the elite organization "The Inazuma Riders" (also called Lightning Riders). Terry wields a powerful B-Daman called "Drive Garuburn" — which has a new type of firing system Yamato has never seen.

Yamato accepts the challenge but quickly finds his old partner Cobalt Blade cannot keep up. After a crushing defeat, Yamato’s B-Daman cracks and seems broken.
