Horn Mask and several Zolders and Human Bombs were attacking an EAGLE base. On their Machines, Aka Ranger, Ki Ranger, and Momo Ranger rushed to the scene of the attack. An explosion erupted in front of them. Several Zolders leaped out. Momo Ranger told the other two Gorengers, to leave this to her. Momo Ranger took off one of her Earrings Bomb and tossed it towards the Zolders. Aka Ranger took out his Red Vute and fought a Zolder with it. Another Zolder leaped in and Aka Ranger fought it with his Red Vute as well. Ki Ranger tossed a Zolder down a hill. Ki Ranger then threw the next Zolder down the hill. Horn Mask laughed. Aka Ranger leaped over to where Horn Mask was standing. He tried to fight Horn Mask with his Red Vute, but Horn Mask quickly turned into a boulder. Once Aka Ranger stopped, Horn Mask briefly reverted back to his normal form, before, once again, turning into a boulder and rolling himself down the hill towards Aka Ranger. Aka Ranger quickly leaped out of the way. Ki Ranger raced over to Aka Ranger to make sure he was okay. Horn Mask, in boulder form, flew towards them. Ki Ranger tried to stop the boulder but was knocked off his feet instead. Ki Ranger hit the hill and rolled down it. Aka Ranger and Momo Ranger raced over to make sure Ki Ranger was okay. Horn Mask reverted back to his normal form and boasted, have you witnessed my power? Aka Ranger was ready to fight. The three Gorengers got into formation for Gorenger Storm. Momo Ranger summoned Gorenger Storm and a pink ball appear in her hands. Momo Ranger placed the ball on the ground and kicked it towards Ki Ranger. The ball turned yellow as it head towards Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger head bumped the yellow ball towards Aka Ranger. The yellow ball turned red and spikey as it headed over to Aka Ranger. Aka Ranger leaped into the air and kicked it towards Horn Mask. Horn Mask turned himself into a boulder and Gorenger Storm failed to destroy him. Horn Mask reverted back to his normal size and charged towards the three Gorengers. They faced each other as Horn Mask summoned the Human Bombs. The five Human Bombs walked towards the three Gorengers. Whatever direction the Gorengers went, the Human Bombs followed. The Human Bombs are controlled by computers. They can completely read the Gorengers' movements. Ki Ranger becomes angry and charged towards the Human Bombs. Ki Ranger wrapped himself around a Human Bomb. The Human Bomb went off and Ki Ranger found himself rolling downwards once more. Aka Ranger and Momo Ranger raced over to Ki Ranger. The remaining four Human Bombs walked towards the three. Aka Ranger decided it was time to leave and the other two agreed. Helping Ki Ranger to his feet, they took off. They quickly got onto their Machines and drove away. 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! Daita left to eat his curry rice at Snack Shop Gon. Tsuyoshi and Peggy stayed at Gorengers' Secret Base. Unfortunately, Horn Mask entered Snack Shop Gon and wreck havoc on the place and on Daita and Cook trying to lure the Gorengers out. Inside the Gorengers' Secret Base, Tsuyoshi and Peggy were watching what was happening in Snack Shop Gon. Peggy was ready to help, but Tsuyoshi stopped her, telling her they were ordered not to leave. They watched as Horn Mask smashed a dessert into Daita's face. Peggy noted the Commander was in danger as a Zolder struck Cook. The Zolder smashed Cook's head onto the counter several times. The chaos continued. At Gorengers' Secret Base, Peggy cried out, I can't put up with this any longer! She made to leave but Tsuyoshi stopped her again. Tsuyoshi told her, we still haven't devised a way to defeat them. Eventually Horn Mask and his Zolders left. Daita went after them and after another encounter with Horn Mask and his Human Bombs, Ki Ranger was returned to Snack Shop Gon in a crate. Later, 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. After some thinking, 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. Within moments, 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. Horn Mask told them, you still haven't learned! The Gorengers announced themselves. The Gorengers leaped down and faced Horn Mask. Horn Mask told them, this place will be your tomb! Horn Mask sent his Human Bombs after them. The Gorengers put their plan into action. Horn Mask thought they were running away. Moments later, the Gorengers appeared on their Machines. Horn Mask sent the Human Bombs after them. The Human Bombs walked toward the Gorengers as the Gorengers began their Machine strategy. On their Machine, the Gorengers rode circles around the Human Bombs. The Human Bombs' computers had no data about the Gorengers' new Machine strategy. The Gorengers' strategy was working. Ki Ranger picked up a Human Bomb and tossed it. Ao Ranger used his Blue Cherry and struck a Human Bomb with it. Aka Ranger used Red Vute against a Human Bomb. Aka Ranger wrapped the Human Bomb with his Red Vute and then released it into the air for Mido Ranger. Mido Ranger used his Midomerang and knocked the Human Bomb out of the sky. The Human Bomb landed on a pile of Human Bombs and they all blew up. Horn Mask was furious. Horn Mask sent the Zolders after the Gorengers. Mido Ranger fought two Zolders with his Midomerang. Ki Ranger fought another set of Zolders, knocking a pair down a hill. Aka Ranger struck several Zolders with his Red Vute. Ao Ranger fought another Zolder. A pair of Zolders were running towards Momo Ranger. Momo Ranger struck both Zolders with several blows. Mido Ranger fought another Zolder with his Midomerang, causing it to fall down the hill. Aka Ranger struck another Zolder several times. Ki Ranger struck another Zolder. Ao Ranger fought a pair of Zolders. Ao Ranger struck and kicked the Zolders. Momo Ranger used her Earrings Bomb against a group of Zolders. It went flying through the air and struck three Zolders to the ground. Ao Ranger used Blue Cherry against a Zolder. It struck the Zolder and he went tumbling down a hill. Ki Ranger held tight onto a Zolder. The Zolder was unable to strike Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger then flipped the Zolder over and onto the ground. Aka Ranger kicked and used his Red Vute against a Zolder. The Zolders were defeated. Horn Mask was trying to get away when Mido Ranger threw his Midomerang at him. Horn Mask turned into a boulder and Midomerang bounced off. Horn Mask gloated no one can injure me! Momo Ranger and Ao Ranger came running up. Ao Ranger used his Blue Cherry and it struck Horn Mask, but did nothing. Horn Mask pulled the bow out. Horn Mask leaped into the air, changed into a boulder and flew towards Ao Ranger and Momo Ranger. Ao Ranger shielded Momo Ranger. The boulder struck Ao Ranger's back. The bolder then flew into the air and headed towards the two Gorengers. Ki Ranger jumped in front of them and caught the boulder. Ki Ranger tossed the boulder down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, Horn Mask returned to his normal form. Aka Ranger called for the Time Lag Attack. The Gorengers got into formation. Momo Ranger turned around and a pink ball appeared in her hands. She placed the pink ball onto the ground and kicked it towards Ki Ranger. The ball turned yellow as Ki Ranger head butt it towards Mido Ranger. Mido Ranger kicked the green ball towards Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger kicked the blue ball towards Aka Ranger. The ball turned red and spikey as Aka Ranger leaped into the sky. Aka Ranger kicked the red spikey ball towards Horn Mask. As Gorenger Storm flew through the air, it dropped a smaller red spikey ball onto the ground. The rest of Gorenger Storm continued until it struck Horn Mask. Horn Mask laughed as he ran out of the smoke and towards the Gorengers. Not paying any attention to the ground, Horn Mask ran on top of the smaller red spikey ball and was destroyed. 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.

Tsuyoshi Kaijo and Daita Oiwa are outside walking when they hear the disquieting sound of bells. The pair search for the source of the noise. Tsuyoshi and Daita spot an professor and asked him if he is Professor Eguchi? Daita wants to know, where are you going at this hour dressed up like that? (Professor Eguchi is dressed to the nines.) Professor Eguchi replies that he was invited to a party and gets into a vehicle. The chauffeured car takes off. Tsuyoshi and Daita note the whole thing was strange. The two followed the car on their Machines. There is a detour ahead which the two take. Eventually they reach a graveyard. Daita is startled when the gates open by themselves. Tsuyoshi teases Daita about being scared. Daita immediately denies it. They enter the graveyard. Daita finds the place creepy. Suddenly several candles appear and a voice tells them, I'm glad you've made it. Suddenly the candles began to spark and Tsuyoshi and Daita take cover as an explosion takes place. A couple of Zolders search for the pair. Aka Ranger uses his Silver Shot and fires on the Zolders. Ki Ranger fights another pair of Zolders. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute against another set of Zolders. Ki Ranger joins in and strikes one of the Zolders. The Zolders are defeated. A skeleton appears before them. A coffin lifts up from a grave. Skull Mask appears before them and introduces himself. He tells them, it's a bit of nuisance having you sniffing around. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute, but Skull Mask vanishes before he can strike. Inside his coffin, Skull Mask tells them, I will not serve as your opponent. Instead, I offer you a single warning: Japan...shall perish. Ki Ranger responds by telling him, don't mess with me! Ki Ranger head butts the coffin and notes how hard the coffin is. Skull Mask laughs as his coffin is lowered back into the grave. Aka Ranger wonders what could he be scheming? Afterwards, at the Gorengers' Secret Base, 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. Tsuyoshi and Akira head over to the plant. Tsuyoshi and Akira are walking down the stairs of the plant when they hear shots fired. "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. Aka Ranger takes the bomb outside the plant. He uses his Birdie to go high up into the sky and tosses the bomb far away. Akira is fighting "Professor Eguchi" with several kicks. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute against Professor Eguchi, who transforms back into Skull Mask. Akira transforms into Ao Ranger. Skull Mask knocks Ao Ranger aside with his staff. Aka Ranger kicks Skull Mask. Skull Mask retreats into his coffin and vows, I cannot let this end here! I am not one to let such slights go unpunished! The coffin buries itself into the ground. Back at the Gorengers' Secret Base, Commander Edogawa informs the group that Skull Mask will likely try a similar tactic again. He'll likely go after another of Japan's great scientists...just like Professor Eguchi. We've created a list of probable victims. Commander Edogawa gives several papers to Kenji. Kenji states he will take Professor Okuma. Peggy takes a sheet as does Tsuyoshi. Commander Edogawa tells them all of EAGLE intelligence is offering us assistance in this case. Work hand in hand with them. Tsuyoshi passes the remaining sheets to Akira. Peggy states they she will protect Professor Shirataki. Later, Tsuyoshi and Daita join Peggy at Professor Shirataki's home. Professor Shirataki receives a package, which contains a record. Peggy plays the record. Professor Shirataki abruptly stands up. Tsuyoshi, Daita, and Peggy watch him closely. The Professor begins to sway and Peggy and Daita help him walk away from the record. Professor Shirataki is confused and asks Peggy what is going on. Tsuyoshi listens to the record. Daita and Peggy walk back into the room where the record is still playing. Daita recognizes Skull Mask's voice. Tsuyoshi smiles, hypnotism won't work on Gorengers. The record disintegrates. Still smiling, Tsuyoshi notes things are getting interesting. Tsuyoshi looks over at Daita. Daita gets creped out by the look Tsuyoshi is giving him. Daita is disguised as Professor Shirataki and taken to a mansion. Hidden, Tsuyoshi and Peggy smile as the watch the car pull away. Peggy comments it actually fits him pretty well. Tsuyoshi and the rest follow discreetly and wait outside the mansion. After awhile, Tsuyoshi receives an alert signal from Daita. The door to the dungeon bursts open and Tsuyoshi, Peggy, and Kenji enter. They quickly fight the Zolders inside. Daita is very happy to see them. Tsuyoshi faces "Professor Kiyozaki" and Daita informs him, it's Skull Mask. A Zolder leaps in front of Tsuyoshi and Tsuyoshi quickly fights it. Daita head butts the Zolder as well. "Professor Kiyozaki" leaves and Daita informs them that he's going to start a huge earthquake over the Artificial Earthquake Laboratory. Tsuyoshi tells Kenji, Peggy, and Daita to release the remaining Professors as he races out. The three quickly open the cell door. But the two remaining professors stand silently and Peggy realizes they are under hypnosis. Tsuyoshi tried to catch up to "Professor Kiyozaki" but was unable to. He is soon joined by Daita, Peggy, and Kenji. They are all happy to see Variblune above them. Akira signals for them to come up. They transform and activate their Birdie and fly up to and enter Variblune. They soon spot the car "Professor Kiyozaki" is driving. The five Gorengers fly out of Variblune. A bomb explodes in front of the car. "Professor Kiyozaki" is surrounded by the Gorengers above him. Mido Ranger tosses his Midomerang towards "Professor Kiyozaki" and he is hit. "Professor Kiyozaki" reverts back to Skull Mask. Skull Mask vows he will kill every one of them. Aka Ranger responds, you can't defeat justice! The five Gorengers leap down to the ground. Skull Mask yells, die, as he tosses various bones towards them. A huge explosion occurs behind the Gorengers. Skull Mask laughs as he thinks he has destroyed the Gorengers. Instead they appear behind him. Skull Mask is very angry. Skull Mask has several Zolders attack the Gorengers. The five Gorengers separate. Aka Ranger fights two Zolders using well placed kicks. Ao Ranger kicks another Zolder. He lands several punches on another Zolder. Momo Ranger strikes a Zolder with several quick hits. Ki Ranger lands several punches on a Zolder. He tosses another Zolder aside. Mido Ranger kicks another Zolder. Aka Ranger battles another batch of Zolders. He uses his Red Vute and strikes the Zolders with it. Another set of Zolders leap down towards him and he knocks them out with his Red Vute. Ao Ranger leaps down. He strikes a Zolder several times. He uses his Blue Cherry and hits a Zolder with it. Mido Ranger leaps down as well. Several Zolders are running towards Mido Ranger. He uses his Midomerang and knocks some of them down. He fights another Zolder with his Midomerang. Momo Ranger strikes another Zolder. She kicks another Zolder away. Ki Ranger fights another Zolder. He distracts the Zolder and then punches him. He uses the same tactic on another Zolder. Momo Ranger kicks another Zolder away. She uses her Earrings Bomb on another group of Zolders running towards them. The explosion gets rid of the remaining Zolders. Skull Mask is furious. His coffin starts to come up from the ground. The Gorengers face Skull Mask as he stands by his coffin. Skull Mask tells them, once I enter this coffin, my powers will increase one hundred-fold. The coffin door opens and Skull Mask enters. Ao Ranger tells the rest of the Gorengers, it's time for the special explosive missile. The missile is attached to a bow and Ao Ranger fires Blue Cherry into the eye of the skull outside the coffin. Skull Mask is thrown from his coffin. The Gorengers summon Gorengers Storm. A pink ball appears in Momo's hands. She kicks it towards Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger head butts the yellow ball towards Mido Ranger. Mido Ranger kicks the green ball towards Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger kicks the blue ball towards Aka Ranger. The ball turns red and spikey. Aka Ranger kicks it towards Skull Mask. Skull Mask uses his staff to knock Gorenger Storm away. Aka Ranger jumps up and kicks Gorenger Storm back towards Skull Mask. This time it strikes Skull Mask and he is destroyed in the explosion. Later, the Gorengers patrol on their Machines. Skull Mask's fearful plan was foiled, thanks to the combined efforts of the Gorengers. However, the Black Cross Army is already scheming toward its next conspiracy.
