There was a huge explosion in the middle of the ocean. Shun was standing on top of the Gate Engine breathing. Shun finally did it --- he killed the Invaders without hesitation! Shun showed his thumbs up sign to Ruriko, telling her that he did it. People gather to the port to wait for Apollo 11's arrival. A parachute from the sky falls down, signaling the arrival of Apollo 11. That event happened on July 24, 1969. (Episode Title)

Aboard YS-11, Ruriko remarked how Invaders changed their target: from petrochemical factory in Kawasaki to the Apollo complex. Ruriko wondered what would be Invaders' next target. Kaoru told Ruriko that with her and Shun's force, Invaders were a piece of cake. Ruriko noticed Shun was quietly staring at the small window, so she sat next to Shun. Ruriko then asked what was bothering him. Shun remarked he was amazed with mankind who sent humans to the moon. Ruriko mentioned to Shun that his father once said that everything was possible as long as one believes. Ruriko remembered that Shun hated his dad, so she apologized. Shun said bitterly that his father talked big but was the first one to give up.
- Fei was in the three-seater side of the plane along with Reiko and Megumi. Fei told Reiko how she wanted to stay longer in the island because she brought a bathing suit, expecting to have a time for swimming. Reiko agreed with Fei, because she brought hers too. Megumi, who was reading, murmured that a bathing suit was a tool for seducing men (INDECENT!).
-YS-11 suddenly agitated, so Shun checked on Megane.
- The plane was out of control, so Megane cautioned everyone. A voice was heard, and it introduced himself (or itself) as Akuma Hakushaku (Count Devil). Akuma Hakushaku told them that he would take them to hell. The plane hurls toward the red cloud that forms an image an old person.(Episode title)

Shun woke up asking who Akuma Hakushaku was. He noticed he had been sleeping on the lap of Miss Ochiai, who preferred to be called Keiko on private occasions. Shun asked where they were, and Keiko replied that Shirei had given them 6 hours free time in the island after the Apollo rescue mission. Shun took a wide look at the scenery and then to Keiko who was wearing a revealing bathing suit. Ruriko called Shun and asked who he was looking at. Shun looked at Ruriko, who was wearing two-piece bathing suit, and told her that her bathing suit was crazy. Ruriko slapped Shun and stomped away.

Akuma Hakushaku was in a dark room with Reiji. On the table was a board with miniature Gate Keepers dolls on it. Akuma Hakushaku told Reiji that he successfully trapped the Gate Keepers with his psycho attack. Reiji sarcastically asked Akuma Hakushaku if it was really what he called "hell." Akuma Hakushaku was convinced that Reiji was human because he only believed at what he sees.

Akuma Hakushaku moved the Shun doll near the Kaoru doll.
- Kaoru told herself that she tried to look good in her bathing suit for Shun but he did not seem to notice it. Shun appeared from the tree and told Kaoru that she looked good in her bathing suit. Shun said that he liked her the first time he met her. Kaoru could not believe what she just heard and she started to blush. Shun grabbed Kaoru from her back and finally embraced her.

Akuma Hakushaku moved another Shun doll to a Fei doll.
- Fei was walking along a steep hill when she saw a tree that beared yellow fruits (mango tree? dunno...). Fei tried to reach the fruit to let others try it, however Shun called her that made her lose her balance. To Fei's rescue, Shun caught her by her waist and told her that he preferred if she would pick the fruit only for him.

Akuma Hakushaku moves another Shun doll to a Reiko doll.
- Reiko was sleeping in the shore while Shun was sheltering her with an umbrella. Reiko woke up and noticed Shun. Shun said Sleeping Beauty (actually he said Megami hime --- princess goddess?)has finally awakened.

Akuma Hakushaku moves another Shun doll to a Megumi doll.
- Megumi immersed herself in the water and talked (to herself) about how she thinks sea cucumbers are beautiful. She said that for others sea cucumbers were ugly, and that was why for her sea cucumbers were beautiful. Shun appeared beside her, also immersed in the water, and told her that he likes sea cucumbers also.

Akuma Hakushaku moves another Shun doll to a Ruriko doll.
- Inside the YS-11, Ruriko wrapped herself in a towel and thought of how Shun commented her bathing suit rudely. Shun appeared from the plane's door and apologized. Shun explained that what he really meant was he was crazy about her. Shun walked to Ruriko, removed the towel, and told her how beautiful she was.

Akuma Hakushaku was constantly observing them and was enjoying the results he was getting. Akuma Hakushaku remarked that with a slight touch of emotion, human heart could be easily seduced. Reiji said he did not know what he was talking about because he threw his heart out. Akuma Hakushaku laughed at what Reiji just said, but Reiji asked him if that was the real time to laugh when he had not fooled Shun yet.

Shun was walking along the island, tired and sleepy. He wondered why nobody was around and why he was not hearing even a chirping of a bird. Shun felt like he was in a floating dream. Keiko appeared and asked what was wrong. Shun asked where everybody was. Keiko pointed toward the shore. The girls called out for Shun and asked him to have fun with them. Shun knew something was wrong, so he called out for Bancho and Megane.
- However, Bancho and Megane were also having their own dreams. Bancho was in a samurai costume, surrounded by Ruriko and Fei who were praising him that he was better than Shun.
- Megane was surrounded by Kaoru and Reiko who pleaded him to turn them into cyborgs. Megane declared that converting humans into machines was an eternal dream for a man.
- The girls were in white dresses and were dancing around Shun.

The Shun, Bancho, and Megane dolls were turning into life in Akuma's table. Akuma laughed at what he was seeing.

Back to Kaoru's dream, Shun and Kaoru were still embracing each other. Shun asked Kaoru what was wrong. Kaoru told him that they could not do it (?) yet because they were still in High School. Shun told her that she was the only one who he could depend on because others kept on losing arrows (Ruriko), flew out of nowhere (Fei, ep. 7), and the other one kept on talking while sleeping (Reiko / well, Megumi talks to herself).

In Reiko's dream, Reiko was playing the piano by the shore. Shun appeared, wearing a tuxedo, and told Reiko that it was not the world she wanted to live in. Shun grabbed her Dazzling Melody pieces and threw it in the air.
- A quick change in scenery. Shun came home from work, and it appeared that Reiko was his wife. Reiko served rice pudding on the table. Shun complained why Reiko was always serving pudding when he was not sick. Reiko told Shun that he should say he was thankful, and she would say that "You don't have to say that honey." Reiko continued that after supper she would make fake flowers or paper envelopes to support their budget. Reiko told Shun that that was the true happiness for her.

Shun tapped the chopsticks to the bowl, waiting for Fei's cooking. Fei was about to serve her Stir Fried Beef with Green Pepper to Shun when she tripped because of the elevated edge. Shun caught Fei by the hand and told her that it was not good to waste what the vegetables and animals have given them. Fei remembered her brother in Shun. Shun asked where her brother was, and Fei replied that he was dead. Shun apologized. Fei told Shun that she wanted to marry her brother when she was young but he died. Shun comforted her and said that he would be her brother from then on. Fei was teary-eyed because of joy.

Shun was following Megumi. Megumi noticed Shun and asked him why he was following her. Shun said he happened to go to same direction. Megumi was not stupid to believe that reason. Shun gave up and said that he could not stop thinking about Megumi. Megumi said that Shun must have been thinking that she was an ugly geek. Shun told Megumi that it was not true. Shun removed Megumi's glasses and inspected it. Shun noticed that the glasses were fake. Shun asked Megumiwhy she hid her beautiful eyes with glasses. Megumi took her glasses from Shun and wore them back. Shun stared at her eyes and told Megumi that he wanted to keep staring at them. Megumi was both blushed and shocked.

Shun told Ruriko that he was glad to have met her again. Ruriko said she new that she was a sniveler back then. Shun apologized and confessed that she was his first love but he was too young. Shun regretted when they said farewell to each other. After saying it, Shun started to walk back, but Ruriko called him and said that she was also glad to have met him. Ruriko ran to Shun and fell to his embrace.

Akuma Hakushaku, while observing his toys, commented on how frail the human heart was.
- [Scenes] Kaoru and Shun have already married, Reiko and Shun in their cozy house, Fei and Shun surrounded with animals, and Megumi and Shun were happily reading books in the library. Ruriko killed an Invader, and Shun (actually Akuma) asked how she first opened her gate.
- The normal scene changed into a rainyy setting.
<Flashback>Ruriko was running through the rain, carrying a wounded cat in her hands. That time, Ruriko must have been a first year student because she had a shorter hair. Ruriko knocked hard at the Sakaki Veterinary Clinic's door, but there was no answer.< End Flashback> (commercial break cut in, so let's assume Ruriko opened her gate and she healed the cat. ^_^).
- Shun also asked the others how they opened their gate.
[Kaoru] Kaoru was competing in a track and field meet. Kaoru's classmates were whispering to each other about how Kaoru always lose in a tournament and yet she got the scholarship. Kaoru was not deaf not to hear what they said, so she promised herself that she will try her best to win. The starting signal was given, Kaoru's competitor started running but Kaoru was left out. "No way!" (Maybe that was her last mistake)
[Reiko] Ms. Ono told Reiko to focus assured her that her parents would come to her recital. Reiko thought that her piano had the ability to reconcile her parents. Reiko gave her best in that practice. (this was actually before Ruriko and Shun came to Reiko's house to interview her)
[Fei] Fei clutched to the government officer and asked where he would be taking his brother and grandfather. The government officer just shoved Fei away along with her monkey. Fei pleaded but the officer had already taken her grandfather and brother far away, never to be seen again.
[Megumi] Megumi recalled the Fukuoka incident.

The scene switched into a black room where five Shuns were telling each of the girls that enduring hardships would not work and he suggested that they should just join him and be happy.

The scene switches to a worn out place, this time Shun was the one surrounded by girls (with Miss Ochiai). The girls told Shun that he did not need to work hard and rather he should just have fun with them. They girls said that their gate power did not work against Invaders anymore and noted that Shun was a failure so he should quit already. Shun fell to the ground struggling to himself. Shun promised to himself that he would not give up like his father did.

Akuma Hakushaku saw how Shun would not give in to his dream so he transported him to another dream.
- The scene changed into a junkyard, the place where Shun and Ruriko usually played when they were young. A girl, told him to stop fighting and play with her forever. Shun asked the girl who she really was, and the girl replied that she was Ruriko Ikusawa---his childhood friend. Of course Shun did not forget his childhood friend, he just asked because he would not believe that the girl was really Ruriko. Shun yelled at the girl that she was not the real Ruriko because she was not sniveling!

The unconcious Ruriko heard it in her dream, came into her senses, and slapped the unconscious Shun. Ruriko's slap had a domino effect to others so they all woke up.

The Gate Keepers party found themselves back in the island. Ruriko asked what just happened, and then Akuma Hakushaku appeared floating in the sky. Shun yelled to Akuma Hakushaku what he had just done. Akuma Hakushaku replied that those were not illusions but desires that were sleeping in their minds. After Akuma Hakushaku gave the hint, he disappeared in the sky, laughing.

Shun received an incoming signal from Miss Ochiai through his watch. They all look above to see the YS-11 in the sky.

Shirei must have granted them a break in the island as all of them were wearing uniform navy blue bathing suits. Kaoru dove to the sea, Reiko was talking with Fei, and Megumi was still reading a book. Shun told Megane that it was too bad that those bathing suits were just a dream. Ruriko approached Shun and asked her why he called her sniveler. Shun ran from where he was sitting and apologized. Shun pleaded to be forgiven because the word "snivelling" woke them up. Ruriko ran after him and caught him by the waist. Shun was still apologizing. "GOMEN NASAI!!"
