Ikki and Metabee see Rokusho with Ainsley and decide to investigate. They climb up in the tree and watch as Ainsley is about to show Rokusho all of her husband's old medals. Rumor has it that Ainsley's love for the tree and rare medals are somehow connected. Suddenly, Ikki and Metabee fall from the tree and are seen by Rokusho. The three of them walk off together, and Rokusho begins to tell them about his past. Years ago he use to stay with a professor Hushi who was a brilliant scientist and researcher. Dr. Hushi developed the Medabot Theory, which was a way of explaining the inner workings of a Medabot. This was a kind of blueprint for every Medabot. Dr. Aki used this theory to mass produce Medabots. The Professor told Rokusho that nature fuels all living beings and that includes Medabots. Rokusho never had a chance to ask what he meant, because the next day a terrible fire occurred. Professor Hushi's body was never found. Rokusho was left with nothing. Just then Botafly approaches the trio claiming Ainsley is in jeopardy.

They arrive back at the house to find Ainsley tied up and the Rubberobo gang digging beneath the oak tree. Seaslug discovers a box. The Rubberobo's are unwilling to turn over the box and challenge them to a robattle with their salamander-type bot Saldron. Rokusho wants to battle. He is strong lunging with his chanbara sword attack, but Saldron retaliates with his flame thrower attack. The flames are heading for the large oak tree. Rokusho throws himself in front of it and seems to freeze. Ikki feels Rokusho is stuck in the nightmare of his past. Ainsley coaxes Rokusho out of his nightmare. Rokusho is now able to return a powerful attack that sends Saldron and the Rubberobos flying. Unfortunately, the tree went up in flames.

Botafly gives the precious box to Ainsley. She opens it to find the only picture she ever took with her late husband. On the back he wrote, "Beneath the Oak we are together so that our love may live forever." With the loss of the tree both Ainsley and Rokusho decide it's time to stop living in the past. They both vow to move on with their lives.

Sniff, Sniff...I'm all choked up. I have one question....where was the referee??
