​Scenario
The B-Fighters Takuya, Daisaku, and Mai battle against Rasbelga, a monster created from the "Rasbel" flower by the Jamahl Empire. During their second confrontation with the monster, The B-Fighters are weakened by a pollen that Rasbelga sprays from its mouth. Rasbelga then shoots vines from its mouth that wrap around Daisaku. Rasbelga pulls Daisaku into its mouth and swallows him whole. Inside Rasbelga's stomach, Daisaku grabs onto a vine to keep from falling into its stomach acids.

Shortly afterwards, Rasbelga fires its vines at Mai and pulls her into its mouth and swallows her as well. Inside Rasbelga's stomach, Mai also grabs onto a vine to keep from being digested.

Daisaku and Mai were later released when Rasbelga was assaulted by a powder made from a certain fruit that caused it to spit them out. The B-Fighters then combined their strength and destroyed Rasbelga.
