Seeing the explosion, Wing Mask is ready to start his hurricane plan. Before Wing Mask can do anything a voice yells at them from above.

Aka Ranger, Momo Ranger, and Ki Ranger had been having a tough time against Horn Mask and his Human Bombs. Ki Ranger had suffered the most from his battles with them. Akira and Kenji walked into the Gorengers Secret Base. Tsuyoshi, Daita, and Peggy were there. Daita sneezed several times as Peggy wrapped Daita's arm in bandages. Kenji and Akira walked over to them and Akira noted how beat up Daita was. Kenji stated, sticking you in dry ice and sending you to us...they're mocking us. Daita replied Daita Oiwa has never been so ashamed. Is there really no good way to beat these guys? They all started to think about what they could do. Akira stated, in order to defeat the Human Bombs...we have to find a way to confuse their computers. Daita thought that was impossible. They're just walking bombs. Touch them and boom. Peggy wondered if they should wave their fingers, like when you make a dragonfly dizzy, we could confuse their computers? Akira thought it was a good idea. Tsuyoshi agreed. Daita wondered if it would work. Tsuyoshi thought it was worth a shot. Now their only issue is how we defeat Horn Mask, who can quickly transform himself into a rock. After all, even the Storm was useless against him. Commander Edogawa entered and told them he had an idea. Let's go with a time-lag attack method. The plan went into action. Peggy carefully worked on Gorenger Storm, adding the time-lag attack to it. She was surrounded by Commander Edogawa and the rest of the guys as they watched her intently. Yoko, Tomoko, and Haruko hurried in. Yoko told Commander Edogawa, following the attack on Base 15, Base 16 has also been overwhelmed. Tomoko added, Horn Mask is drawing near to the main EAGLE base. If we don't stop him soon...Commander Edogawa told them to calm down. Haruko stated, if you don't send out the Gorengers, then we will...Commander Edogawa told them to stop and watch for a bit. Peggy was sweating profusely and Daita was kind enough to wipe the sweat off. With the encroaching attack from the Black Cross Army at the forefront of her mind, Peggy put all her efforts into creating a new, powerful and effective explosive. Everyone was watching Peggy work intently. Peggy put the cover on Gorenger Storm and excitedly told them, I've done it! The Child-Parent Bomb! Commander Edogawa sent the Gorengers out. Variblune took off with the team inside. After awhile, Variblune landed and Aka Ranger took off on his Machine, followed by Ao Ranger and Ki Ranger on their Machine, and Mido and Momo on their Machine. Horn Mask and his troops headed towards the EAGLE main base. An explosion took place in front of them. Horn Mask and the Zolders jumped out of their jeep. The Gorengers appeared above them.

Later, the Gorengers patrolled the area on their Machines. With first the Machine Strategy, and then the Time Lag Attack, the Gorengers were able to defeat the Human Bombs and Horn Mask.

Daita and Tsuyoshi had a run in with Skull Mask. They reported the incident back at the Gorengers' Secret Base. Soon, Yoko Kato informs Tsuyoshi, Peggy Matsuyama, Akira Shinmei, Kenji Asuka, Daita, and Commander Edogawa, that according to info from EAGLE HG, Professor Eguchi came home this morning and then left for work seeming a bit different than he usually acts. Daita wonders what it could mean? Thinking about it, it's pretty strange. Commander Edogawa tells them the place where Professor Eguchi works...it houses Japan's largest nuclear reactor. He wonders if the plant is the target. Akira and Tsuyoshi head off for the nuclear plant. Tsuyoshi and Akira are walking down the stairs of the plant when they hear the sound of gun shots. "Professor Eguchi" fires at them. Tsuyoshi transforms into Aka Ranger. Aka Ranger tells Akira to get the professor. Akira chases after the professor while Aka Ranger goes to where the bomb is.
