Sena attempts to convince Rai that he has more important objectives than locating his mother. Rai is angered and leaves the Tai Chi Chasers. While leaving, Rai discovers that the Dragonoid armed forces are planning to destroy the Tigeroid airship, but does not reveal this information to his former comrades-in-arms due to his resentment towards Sena. He returns to his former community, where he meets his friend, Keith, who alerts Rai to the fact that his destroyed home has been rebuilt, with an unrelated family living there. This prompts Rai to realise that the Tai Chi Chasers and the greater Tigeroid community were acting as a surrogate family for him. He resolves to reunite with them and resume the fight against the Dragonoid forces. Unbeknownst to him, however, his return to the Tigeroids is being watched by the Dragonoid forces.
