Momo Ranger and Aka Ranger successfully rescued Professor Kudo. But they were now trapped in a minefield with Boat Ear Mask having the Zolders shoot their cannon in their direction. Aka Ranger knows that Boat Ear Mask knows their location. Momo Ranger checks on Professor Kudo and adds at this rate, the professor's life will be in danger. Aka Ranger decides it's time to ask for help. Master enters Snack Shop Gon. Daita is enjoying his bowl of curry. Taro is sitting next to him and tells him a riddle. Master grabs the bowl from Daita. Daita wonders why. Master tells him, they're in danger. Deploy. Daita quickly stands up. Master informs him that Blue is already in Variblune. Daita quickly leaves Snack Shop Gon. Variblune arrives and Professor Kudo is placed in the aircraft and safely taken away. A battle follows between the Gorengers and Boat Ear Mask. After defeating the Zolders, the Gorengers destroy Boat Ear Mask with Gorenger Storm.

Silver Heat Mask's hideous plot penetrated to the center of Tokyo, causing fires everywhere. At Snack Shop Gon, Cook tells Kenji, Tsuyoshi, and Daita that the invasion of Silver Heat Mask has reached into the town. Kenji wants to leave right away. A tearful Yoko enters with Peggy behind her. Daita tells Peggy, we must go now. Peggy moves Daita aside and walks up to Tsuyoshi and tells him he crossed a line. (Yoko was forced by Silver Heat Mask to betray the Gorengers in order for her brother, Taro, to be released.) Do you want Taro to be killed? Tsuyoshi gets up and heads for the door, with his head bowed. He tells them, my sister was killed too...by the Black Cross Army! Yoko is stunned as well as the others. Tsuyoshi walks out. No one says anything. Later, at the Gorengers Secret Base, Daita is rubbing Commander Edogawa's shoulders as he asks, what should we do now? Kenji states, the faster we rescue Taro, the better! Daita responds, we don't even know where to go. Peggy quickly enters. She hands over a letter Yoko left and tells them Yoko is gone. Daita quickly unfolds the letter. The letter states, Dear Gorengers, I don't know how to apologize, especially to Shinmei. I can't bother you guys any more about Taro. I'll make sure to defeat Silver Heat Mask, even if it costs me my life! Tsuyoshi has already headed out and he finds Yoko and gets her to safety. Ao Ranger rescues Taro and returns him to Yoko. The Gorengers battle and destroy Silver Heat Mask with Gorenger Storm. Afterwards, at the Gorenger Secret Base, Yoko gives Tsuyoshi her Communication Device. Tsuyoshi smiles as he places it back on her wrist. Yoko is surprised. Peggy, Commander Edogawa, Kenji, and Daita are standing with Tsuyoshi as he tells Yoko, the old Yoko is gone. From now on, I want born again Yoko to have it. Daita is the first to clap and Peggy joins him as does Kenji. With tears in her eyes, Yoko smiles back at them. Commander Edogawa tells Yoko, you'd better go and check up on Shinmei. With tears on her face, Yoko is happy to be working for EAGLE again.

Ki Ranger, Momo Ranger, and Aka Ranger had fought with Horn Mask, several Zolders and several Human Bombs. Unfortunately, they had to retreat. At the Gorengers Secret Base, Peggy patiently wrapped Daita's head with bandages. Daita noted what a sad state he was in. Such a pity for the world to lose such a manly face. He asked Peggy if she agreed and she quickly agreed. Commander Edogawa was concerned about a one-man deadly explosive. Tsuyoshi added, quite the adversary. Peggy admitted she was frustrated, but we'll show them this time! Commander Edogawa pointed out, if you try to get at them carelessly, you'll get burned, like Daita. Commander Edogawa touched Daita's shoulder, which caused Daita a lot of pain. Yoko hurried in with the news that Horn Mask was searching for the Gorengers. Tsuyoshi used the periscope and quickly found Horn Mask and several Zolders in the city. Daita was watching as well and he was angry. Daita wanted to take off but Tsuyoshi called out for him to stop. Daita angrily asked, are you asking me to hold back? Commander Edogawa answered, exactly. In order to defeat Horn Mask's unit, we'll have to devise some special battle tactics of our own. Daita turned around. Commander Edogawa continued, calm down and eat some curry rice till you're all better again. Daita agreed, alight, I'll eat! I'll eat till I'm full to burst! Inside Snack Shop Gon, Tomoko, Yoko, and Haruko watched in amazement as Daita eat one bowl of curry rice after another. Tomoko told Daita, you sure can eat. Haruko added you're just like a cow! and touch his stomach. Which made Daita ticklish. The girls laughed and Daita told them, this is no laughing matter! He then called out for another bowl of curry rice. Even Cook was surprised and asked, you sure your stomach doesn't reach right to the other world? Taro entered Snack Shop Gon. Daita was relived it was just Taro. Taro wanted to play riddles with Daita. Daita was ready. Everyone noticed Horn Mask enter Snack Shop Gon and quickly faced the counter. Cook whispered to them to act normally. Cook greeted Horn Mask. Daita gave Taro a riddle. Which Taro told him that riddle was so old. Daita tried again, but again, it was another old riddle for Taro. Yoko carried Taro away and Haruko and Tomoko followed Yoko. Horn Mask was standing behind Daita, confident that the Gorengers should have their base around here. Cook acted confused and asked Daita, do you know what he's talking about? Daita replied no. Cook asked the girls gathered in the corner, the same question. Tomoko replied that she had heard of them. They are five warriors who battle the Black Cross Army. Haruko added, they're so cool! They fight for justice! Daita added, they're that cool, hun, Master? Horn Mask thought Daita's voice was familiar. Daita tried to tell the same riddle to Cook that he had to Taro. Horn Mask commented on what an old riddle it was. Horn Mask told a riddle, which Daita didn't get but Taro did. Several Zolders entered Snack Shop Gon and told Horn Mask they had not found the Gorengers. Horn Mask was angry. Horn Mask used his scepter and knocked the glassware with it and knocked Daita out of his chair. The Zolders surrounded Daita and attacked him with chair. Cook tried to stop them by telling them to we have nothing to do with this! Horn Mask told him to be quiet. If the Gorengers fight for justice, then surely they will appear to save you! Horn Mask threw something at Cook and missed as Cook quickly ducked down.
