Plot

Gopal and BoBoiBoy retrieve a Power Sphera among a penguin monster's eggs. He drops the egg while trying to switch it with the Power Sphera, releasing a baby, inviting the mother's attention, not before escaping. BoBoiBoy notices Adu Du and Probe with the Power Sphera, before Fang defeats them and calls Yaya to rescue them. BoBoiBoy rescues Adu Du and Probe before they depart in their base.

A group of alien miners find someone within crystal. 100 years ago, he clashed with someone before he was sealed within, while the group were complimented for rescuing all Power Spheras given, He introduces himself as Retak'ka escaping the crystal with a remnant of his powers. Claiming to be the first master of the Elements, he blackmails the leader Kechik to locate BoBoiBoy and TAPOPS for Power Spheras in exchange for more crystals.

The group land at Tok Aba's Kokotiam, Papa Zola meets Mama Zila with their daughter, Pipi Zola. BoboiBoy invites Fang for dinner at Aba's home. Adu Du and Probe plan to obtain EggaBot, but the Zolas defeat them on board. Koko Ci transmits an emergency message saying TAPOPS Station was attacked. Ochobot teleports to Planet Quabaq, but BoBoiBoy insists on going to TAPOPS Station. They saw that Retak'ka laid waste to everyone on it.

Retak'ka overpowers him even with everybody else. Telling BoBoiBoy that splitting makes him weaker, he drains Solar, Thunderstorm, Cyclone and Thorn, and ensnares the station as Darkwood. Gopal saves BoBoiBoy, and tries to save everyone aboard before Ochobot urgently takes them to Planet Quabaq. As they leave, Koko Ci tells BoBoiBoy to find Hang Kasa. Adu Du gets smitten by Ayu Yu before GogoBugi blows the station up. They went to Planet Quabaq, landing near an acidic river.

BoBoiBoy and Ochobot rush to read the message sent before Gopal tells everyone to leave the sinking ship. They were ambushed by Kang Kongs, which are passive towards light. Due to Retak'ka taking his Solar element, BoBoiBoy transforms to Blaze, detransforming after running out of energy. Another figure saves them from the Kang Kongs, before the group wake up at his camp. Introducing himself as Hang Kasa, he offers to train them to face his former disciple Retak'ka.

Retak'ka goes to several planets to upgrade his Elements by absorbing their energy. Kaizo reveals that he rescued everyone on the TAPOPS Station and placed a tracker on the miners' craft. Fang and Kaizo went to Planet Gur'latan, finding out that Retak'ka killed all the soldiers. Yaya and Ying trace Retak'ka and his crew to Planet Bayugan, where he plans to upgrade his Wind element. Ying warns the inhabitants about Retak'ka.

The miners locate BoBoiBoy near Planet Rimbara. Kaizo's side evacuates the Cendawa Tribe on Rimbara. With the last one finally on board, Retak'ka begins to absorb Rimbara's energy and traps Kaizo's ship, barely managing to lift off. Yaya, Ying and Fang distract Retak'ka. BoBoiBoy and Gopal come to know that the sooner they complete their training, the sooner they'll return home.

The Zolas come across the restricted area discovering that it was filled with technology. BoBoiBoy and Gopal were forced to pay training fees. Gopal only has one dollar, so Kasa takes BoBoiBoy's Quake Element as debt and traps them in crystal. Meanwhile, Zola finds out that Kasa fixed Ochobot's databank at the basement. In a message, Koko Ci told them to go to Quabaq to find a way against Retak'ka.

Kasa reveals that he was the original master of the Crystal Element and Retak'ka's old friend who discovered him on the landfill Planet Gugura and were best friends. He discovered CrystalBot while Retak'ka discovered GammaBot. Retak'ka became greedy for more Elements and went for Kasa's Crystal power, but Kasa drained the Elements within him, sealing him within crystal. Retak'ka tells them to meet at Earth, stating if he had not came across Fang, Yaya and Ying, he wouldn't have known that the planet contains all 7 Elements. Kasa arrives to trick Retak'ka by saying that the real him cannot come due to a stomach ache. Pipi frees BoBoiBoy and Gopal before fully charging EggaBot. Retak'ka outpowers his former master before almost killing him. BoBoiBoy takes the blow, pinning him to a rock. With BoBoiBoy in danger, Gopal joins the fight. Zola defeats the miners within EggaBot and Adu Du gets smacked by Ayu Yu. Kasa decides to return the Quake Element, encouraging him to stand up against Retak'ka and apologizes for lying to him.

Rembering that splitting makes him weaker, BoBoiBoy fuses into FrostFire. Gopal provides Ochobot to absorb his Elements. Retak'ka fights the remainder, only to beaten down. Refusing to accept defeat, Retak'ka destroys a nearby dam. BoBoiBoy freezes him with Glacier, taking the last Element and blasts him to space as Supra. He collapses into the river but was rescued by the team.

BoBoiBoy was treated for his injuries while Zila scolds Zola for taking Pipi aboard. The Power Spheres were given to Amato, with Maskmana asking if he should be helping BoBoiBoy. He replies that BoBoiBoy needs to be independent with a more important mission in waiting.
