Variblune takes to the skies once more. They quickly fly over to the hospital. Daita asks Akira if they will make it in time? Akira replies they will. Soon, Variblune arrives at the hospital. Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger use their Birdies and exit Variblune. Very quickly, they enter Mr. Scott's hospital room. Ki Ranger has the serum. Ki Ranger tells the doctor to take care of Mr. Scott for them. Ki Ranger, Ao Ranger, Ki Ranger, and Tsuyoshi leave the room as Poison Fang Mask has taken Amy, Mr. Scott's daughter. Soon, Poison Fang Mask leads the way as the Zolders pull Amy along. Amy pleads with them to let her see her father, as he is going to die. The group stops when they see Aka Ranger above them. Ki Ranger, Ao Ranger, Mido Ranger, and Momo Ranger are there as well. Amy is very happy to see the Gorengers. Poison Fang Mask has the Zolders attack. Aka Ranger fights a couple of Zolders. He flips one over a ledge. Ao Ranger kicks a Zolder. He uses his Blue Cherry and hits a Zolder. Ki Ranger fights another group of Zolders, tossing one of them over a ledge. Mido Ranger punches a Zolder several times in the face. Momo Ranger kicks a Zolder. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute to strike another Zolder. When the Zolder stumbles in Momo Ranger's direction, she strikes him. Mido Ranger throws his Midomerang towards Poison Fang Mask. Poison Fang Mask knocks it aside with his staff. The rest of the Gorengers join Mido Ranger. Poison Fang Mask throws his snake bombs towards them. The Gorengers duck down and are not hurt. The Gorengers approach Poison Fang Mask and Poison Fang Mask backs away, along with the two Zolders who still have Amy. Aka Ranger tells Poison Fang Mask to give Amy back. Instead Poison Fang Mask uses his staff to create poison smoke and vanishes, along with the Zolders and Amy. Momo Ranger spots them in the distance and points it out to the others. They all run over to the area. When they reach the area, they see Amy is tied to stake with snakes. Amy spots them and yells for help. Momo Ranger warns the rest of the Gorengers not to get close. Those are no ordinary snakes. Ki Ranger asks, what are they? Momo Ranger replies, I saw them before...those are bombs. Poison Fang Mask pops up from his hiding place. He has overheard their conversation and tells them, they're Snake Bombs. They explode to the sound of this snake whistle. If you want to save this girl, then bring Mr. Scott over here. In exchange for Mr. Scott, I'll hand this girl over to you. If you don't comply...Poison Fang Mask indicates he will blow his snake whistle. Aka Ranger states, we have no choice. Ao Ranger doesn't agree. Aka Ranger turns his back towards Poison Fang Mask and takes out his Red Vute. Aka Ranger quickly turns around and uses his Red Vute to take the snake whistle out of Poison Fang Mask's hands. The Gorengers run forwards. Mido Ranger and Momo Ranger remove the Snake Bombs from Amy. Poison Fang Mask picks up his snake whistle and blows it. Momo Ranger and Mido Ranger quickly toss the Snake Bombs. The Snake Bombs land on two Zolders. The Snake Bombs go off, destroying the two Zolders. Poison Fang Mask is angry. The Gorengers summon Gorenger Storm. The Gorengers get into position. The silver ball appears in Momo Ranger's hands. She kicks it over to Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger head butts it over to Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger kicks it over to Mido Ranger. Mido Ranger kicks it over to Aka Ranger. Aka Ranger leaps into the sky and kicks it over to Poison Fang Mask. Gorenger Storm hits Poison Fang Mask and destroys him. Afterwards, at Snack Shop Gon, Cook gives Daita his favorite dish. Daita tells Cook, it looks delicious, thanks for the food. Tsuyoshi, Peggy, and Kenji are sitting at the counter as well as Daita. Akira and Yoko join the group. Everyone is in high spirits and smiling. Peggy excitedly wonders if Amy's over there yet. Cook tells the group, right about now, she should be eating her first meal in her father's country. They all agree. Tsuyoshi states, there's no watering down a parent and child's bond. Akira playfully places a snake on the counter. Daita freaks out, believing it to be a super cobra. They all tease Daita, as it is only a rubber snake. Tsuyoshi grabs a hold of the snake and teases Peggy with it. Peggy gives a small scream. Kenji takes the snake from Tsuyoshi and scares Yoko with it. Afterwards, the Gorengers patrol on their Machines. They feel good that they were able to safely protect Mr. Scott. They also wonder what kind of scheme will the Black Cross Army be hatching next?

EAGLE soldiers were transporting their Freeze Beam Bazooka. For added protection, Daita and Akira, on their Machines, escorted the group. They were all unaware they were being watched. As the group traveled through a valley, above them stood Witch Mask, watching them. Witch Mask wanted to steal the bazooka and make Japan freeze. After a bit, Akira had the team stop. Daita and Akira checked the back of a truck to make sure everything was still functioning. The EAGLE soldiers, sitting in the back with the bazooka, confirmed that everything was okay. Daita and Akira returned to their Machine, and the journey continued. Witch Mask gave the order to fire. Several explosions erupted around the transport team. Several Zolders lined the top of the valley and watched the explosions. Witch Mask laughed as it jumped on it's broom and flew towards the team. The Zolders came running down the hill towards the team as well. Soon Daita, Akira, and the EAGLE soldiers were surrounded by Witch Mask and the Zolders. Daita demanded to know who they were. The reply was Witch Mask from the Black Cross Army. Witch Mask then announced that it was here to steal their Freeze Beam Bazooka. The battle began. Akira tried to fight Witch Mask, but was blocked by a Zolder. The EAGLE soldiers fought the Zolders. Akira punched a Zolder. Daita crushed the bones of another Zolder by squeezing tightly. Akira fought another Zolder but was knocked off his feet. Akira rolled down the hill. Daita hurried over to his friend and made sure he was okay. Witch Mask pointed it's broom towards the two and fire shot out of it. Witch Mask laughed as it chased them around with it's fiery broom. Daita and Akira leaped into the air and transform into Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger. Now the two Gorengers stood above Witch Mask. Witch Mask quickly got on it's broom and flew away. Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger activated their Birdies and flew after Witch Mask. They eventually caught up to Witch Mask and fought it. But they could not defeat it and Witch Mask flew away. Ao Ranger pulled out Blue Cherry and fired it. The arrow hit Witch Mask in the back and it fell to the ground as a small, black ball. Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger were confused. Witch Mask appeared to be inside the ball. Ki Ranger picked up the ball and threw it as hard as he could onto the ground. The ball bounced back and hit both Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger's helmets. The ball bounced up into the sky and Witch Mask reverted back to it's form, flying away from them. Meanwhile, the EAGLE soldiers were firing at the Zolders. Witch Mask flew down and joined in the battle. Witch Mask used it's broom to fire flames at the EAGLE soldiers. As Witch Mask kept the EAGLE soldiers busy, it directed the Zolders to get the Freeze Beam Bazooka. The EAGLE soldiers tried to protect the bazooka, but Witch Mask and the Zolders defeated the guarding EAGLE soldiers. Witch Mask used the Freeze Beam Bazooka on the EAGLE soldiers, freezing them where they stood. Witch Mask was impressed with the bazooka. Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger used the Birdies to fly back and found the defeated EAGLE soldiers. Ki Ranger lifted up one of the EAGLE soldiers and asked where the Freeze Beam Bazooka was? The EAGLE solider replies Witch...Mask...Ao Ranger suggested they follow Witch Mask and Ki Ranger agreed. On their Machine, Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger continued their pursuant. After awhile, they stopped. Witch Mask's den was ahead. Ki Ranger wants to get the bazooka back. Ao Ranger points out that they can't just go in. He asked Ki Ranger to stay and watch out for Witch Mask here. Ao Ranger plans to spy from above. Ki Ranger jumps out and finds stairs. He cautiously begins walking up the stairs. A black ball bounces down the stairs. Ki Ranger gets into a fighting stance. The ball stops on a stair and turns into a plate of curry. Ki Ranger thinks the curry looks tasty. Ki Ranger glances around and then demorphs.
