It is Fenzy's birthday but an argument with her mother has her all angry. That day the kids have to play their second Sendokai match at the Grand Tournament. This time their rival will be the Norbiuses, a race of beings with one telepathically interconnected mind. The match begins and the kids make a valiant effort, but the coordination of the Norbiuses is unbeatable and the kids hardly ever even get their feet on the ball. Besides that, Fenzy's anger causes her to play individually, and the kids get beaten badly. Tanpö tells them that they lost because, as opposed to their rivals, they didn't play as a team. Fortunately, they are still in the round robin stage of the tournament and can afford one defeat - but they can't lose again or their dimension will be history. Upon leaving the field of battle, Fenzy runs into the Nobiuses, who, despite having won, are crying disconsolately. They explain to her that, since they are really only one being, they feel terribly lonely. That makes Fenzy think twice and go back to her friends and teammates.
