This is where it all begins. Ikki gets into a fight with a group of Storm Riders who use ATs. After he loses, Ikki sees the mysterious Simca. After returning home, he curiously takes a pair of Mikan's AT's. After accidentally challenging another Storm Rider group, Ikki is thrust into an Air Trek match.

Ikki is in love? Maybe, or maybe it's just uncontrollable hormones. Ringo is worried (madly jealous) and Mikan is leery, but Simca, the object of Ikki's attentions, needs his help. Trying to please the girl he likes, Ikki ends up challenged by the leader of the Rez-Boa Dogs and the outcome of this race will lead to a lot of things in the near future.

Following Ikki's victory over the Rez-Boa-Dogs' leader, the Rez-Boa-Dogs decide to disband, with Ikki finally learning what it means to put an emblem on the line. Also Ikki's AT ends up battered and in need of new parts however Ikki manages to find a means of making money but there seems to be a more desirable option, Parts War.

Ikki's friends, Onigiri and Kazu, were in the school in search of the Night Kings for a Parts War but they end up in a bit of trouble trying to challenge on their turf. Ikki is forced to take action and battle the leader of the Night Kings "Fat Buccha" for Kazu, Onigiri and his Pride.

Ikki and Buccha continue their match but can Ikki win? Or is the experienced Buccha to much for him? With everyone watching, including Ringo and Spitfire, Ikki tries his best to win. Ikki has more dangerous battles ahead of him, with his chosen path, that he must follow to the 8 Road Kings.

It is night and Ikki is out tearing it up around town, while thinking about the 8 Roads to the King, when he runs into someone from an A-Class team "Agito". The Skull Saders are out for the revenge following their previous defeat so they challenge the Sleeping Forest team but Ikki takes up the challenge instead in the F-Class "Dash".

After getting his reward from Buccha, Ikki goes out to practice with Ringo when out of the blue she suggest to him that he should join Simca's team however Ikki set on forming his own group. As Ikki and Kazu attempt to train and build up their team, they discover that Onigiri has a girlfriend. Will this further hinder the trio from starting a team?

Ikki, Kazu, and Onigiri are all on the verge of failing middle school and must pass a test written by Masaya Orihara in order to proceed. With the aid of Mari Tomita, the group attempts to steal the answer key for the test, and in the process discover Ton-chan's past.

Ringo tells Ikki that a Parts War Match is taking place and that it'll be good experience for him to watch a A-Class battle in action. Ikki and his team head out and when they arrive discover that Agito is taking on his competition alone! What kind of strength and power does Agito have?!

Following the events of the previous episode Gonzou and the rest of his Kintetsu Bulls team were single-handedly defeated by Agito. This is only the beginning when out of nowhere the police raid arrives on the scene but this is the Bulls territory. Akito reveals to Ikki his split personality.

After Ikki's confrontation with Akito's brother Kaito, Akito will now be living with and attending the same school as Ikki. With this sorted Ikki is also beginning to sort out his newly formed team which can become official with its 5th member however the former 27th generation "East Side Gunz" have a problem with this. Kazu is able to quell this problem with much trouble, so now "Team Kogarasumaru" is formed.

The newly formed Kogarasumaru has been challenge to their first AT battle, by the Sabel Tigers, with their emblems, parts and pride on the line. With Agito not wanting to take part in this F-Class Parts War the team are already in trouble of losing when they get help from a not so mysterious rider! Now they have a chance.

The team has now achieved their first victory and Ikki is feeling pretty confident about it and is now ready to aim for the top of Trophaeum tower. Several days later Rika returns home to see the excited Ikki, over his team�s debut victory, nevertheless she seems strongly against him continuing down the path he's on.

It is morning and Ikki is already pissed of due to Rika forbidding him from doing anything to do with AT, but without giving a reason why. Rika meets up with an old friend and former Sleeping Forest leader, who may be able to convince Ikki from continuing along his road. Ikki finally learns the tragic past of the Sleeping Forest.

With Ikki refusing to give up AT he challenges Rika to a battle, for the right to carry on as a Storm Rider, yet as the battle goes on he seems to be losing. It is obviously a disadvantage for him to go up a against a former Sleeping Forest member dubbed the "Thorn Queen" but will Ikki's wings allow him to break free from her thorns?

It is night and Agito is carving his own Road into other Storm Riders to boost his team's territory, without Ikki knowing however this night he is approached by the same "mysterious skater". Agito's plan may have come into affect when team Kogarasumaru are suddenly challenged by and unusually large and strong D-Rank team "Behemoth".

The day has finally arrived; Team Kogarasumaru is up against Team Behemoth in a fearsome cube battle. With hundreds of spectators for the coming battle, all eyes are on them and Kogarasumasu will need to go all out, because winning this time won�t be easy. They each face off 1 on 1.

Following Kazu's battle each of the Kogarasumaru are having their own respective battles, against the Behemoths, in separate cubes. Now it's only Ikki's and Agito's battles left and while Ikki is playing about in his cube with Mitsuru, Agito is purely focused on getting back his Regalia from Akira.

These 1 on 1 cube battles has suddenly turned into a 2 on 2 cube battle; Ikki and Agito vs. Mitsuru and Akira. Team Kogarasumaru manage to gain the upper hand with their spontaneous tag team techniques however the tables are turned once the Fang's Regalia begins to howl.

The battle has reached its climax and it will finally be decided with the next move. Meanwhile the arena has been surrounded by the Windstorm G-Men, so how will things turn out?

Team Kogarasumaru has just gained the first major victory and even though battered and bruised they are still in high hopes and full of confidence. The team are now busy searching for a place to be their secret base, whilst protecting their territory, when they receive a gift from the schools former principal Koro. Meanwhile team Spit Fire has begun to move, gathering a mega storm of riders for one purpose and they need one thing, a leader.

With the activation of Genesis, Ikki's Kogarasumaru is now in control of Gensis which is made up of 350 riders to topple the leaders of Trophaeum tower. The next day it is time for the school trip to Kyoto and Akito doesn't seem to have the money to go. The team feel that there's no point in going without Akito so they go on a retrieval mission to get his bankbook from his big brother Kaito.

The guys are on their class field trip to Kyoto however there isn't much time for sightseeing when there are people in Kyoto waiting for Team Kogarasumaru. Due to the team taking Genesis under their control, the 3 strongest teams in the area are beginning to take action, with inevitable battles along the way.

Some of Ikki's friends have been kidnapped to lure him to tridents headquarters because no one can acknowledge him as the new leader of Genesis. To prove himself, Ikki challenges trident to a battle and he would have to go up against Yosh(i)tsune, the "Devil 30-30". With his comrade's lives on the line, the battle of the century finally starts.

It is time for Ikki's battle with Yosh(i)tsune and hundreds have gathered to watch their battle. With everyone watching will Ikki finally be able to truly fly?
